BY SARAH MUSGRAVE The city hopes to return the grand dame of Westmount to her glory days as a full-fledged community centre when major renovations are carried out in Victoria Hall next year.While a proposed $1-million glass exhibition area linking it to the library may be a shiny new addition, on the inside the hall may be more recognizable to Westmounters of the Access # 4100 7640242 4109 700FILM 4104 past than those who have visited it in this decade.\u201cIt will harmonize with the original building and restore some of its former grandeur which has faded somewhat,\u201d architect Julia Gersovitz explained as she unveiled plans for the project this week.The redesign by architectural firm Fournier, Gersovitz and Moss is the culmination of ongoing public consultation and surveys newest service hits Westmounth since 1989, according to councillor Cynthia Lulham.\u201cWe had demands for different spaces but the building only has so many rooms, so we wanted to make them all as multi-functional as possible,\u201d she said.As a result, some floors will be suitable for tap dancing while walls will be sound-proofed for meetings.\u201cThe big challenge is inserting into the (See HALL, page 9) FAST!

Acting all in the family for mother-daughter duo BY SARAH MUSGRAVE Drama definitely runs in the family for a local mother-daughter duo who are sparkling with success on stage and screen.Karen Karpman will appear in a musical comedy at the Centaur this month while daughter Erin Simms, 20, makes inroads in the entertainment industry on a popular television show for teenagers.She plays the part of Morgan McKnight, queen of the school, on teen soap opera Student Bodies.Filmed in a high school in the cast end of Montreal.the show combines over-the-top cartoon animation sequences with live action stories.As the Telescene production 1s distributed internationally, the de Maisonneuve resident is being seen all over the world.\u201cWhen she first had parts in commercials we would sit in front of the TV and we just couldn't beheve it.We kept hitting play\u2014rewind\u2014play.Now we've adjusted.It's exciting and wonderful, but we're still just a regular family.\u201d Karpman said.The family is

left out of budget BY SARAH MUSGRAVE Its sound financial position has again carned the City of Westmount a AA+ bond rating, the highest of any municipality in Quebec, Mayor Peter Trent said in his report on finances Monday night.While the rating ight serve the aty well af at wanted to borrow money, it means that it doesn\u2019t farce Lightly when it comes to downloading from Quebec.The formula of 5.8 per cent is applied to compressible spending, which excludes debt payments.That penahizes well-managed cites hike Westmount, Trent argued.Laval gets break A city hike Laval, with 36 per cent of its budget going to debt- service costs, gets off casier than Westmount with its low borrowing costs, he said.\u201cWe're hoisted with our own petard.They reward those who borrow,\u201d he commented.Due to the uncertamty of how to recuperate a $2.5 million cost transfer from the provincial government, the city 1s preparing a \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d budget, he added.A supplementary budget wall hkely be adopted once all negotiations and cost-cutting measures are finalized, The bill to Westmount was reduced somewhat because clec- trical spending was removed from the calculations, for a savings of about $900,000), About $20-million was knocked off the total city spending because the Light and Power utility buys power from Ilydro-Quebec for resale to residents as do oa few other municipalities hke Sherbrooke.| Rate Increase may be just 6 per cent: city By SARAH MUSGRAVE ~~ If the city can\u2019t scrape up the money clse- where residents can cxpect property tax increases of about 6 per cent, according to Mayor Peter Trent.\u201cThe 5 to 10 per cent | suggested a month and a half ago was a bit on the high side.Now it's more like 5 or 6 per cent if we have no offsetting savings in the form of employee renumer- ation,\u201d Trent said this week.He said he\u2019s still hoping to reduce the costs to taxpayers by cutting expenses in order to come up with Westmount's share of a bill from province which has been looming over Quebec municipalities for months.According to the latest figures, the bill Westmount might face is closer to $2.5 million, and not the $3.8 million figure put forward two weeks ago when Quebec City inked a deal with the Union of Quebec Municipalities.So far, the government has stopped short of a legislated 6-per-cent wage cut for municipal employees.\u201cEmployees in cities over 25,000 make 27 per cent more than in the public sector,\u201d Trent contended.\u201cMost of the reason why 1s fringe ben- cfits.We're not talking about cutting pay cheques but working longer hours so at least the remuneration is more in keeping with what your counterparts enjoy.\u201d White-collar union head Michael Crouch said the mayor\u2019s figures miss the mark and give the wrong impression of the local work force.At Just over 20,000 residents, Westmount is not comparable with the study cited by the mayor, he said.He added that white-collar employees usually do morc than one task in their jobs, give good service and eur no real overtime costs.\u201cGo to the Motor Vehicle Bureau or go to the provincial government and try and get some Information, We may get a little more in salary but you can sce night away we take on several responsibilities and we have to be more versatile.Its just not fair to compare,\u201d he said.Another study by the Institut de Recherche et (See FIGURES, page 10} 4 - Thursday, November 6, 1997 The Westmount Examiner ( Station 12 police files ~ s By DAVID GOLDBERG Man dies in crash on

Automobiles and roads werent what they are today (perhaps they were better, you say?).Certainly a weekend drive to the Laurentians or the Townships was not as routine as it is today.Nor could you take a jet to Florida so casily once the weather got bad.So people stayed \u201cin town.\u201d + x * Perhaps more importantly, young men and women were expected to follow certain rules when it came to meeting people, going on dates or outings, being chaperoned, and so on, something that necessitated dances and socials and the need for a suitable hall.So people could meet and marry.Obviously that\u2019s why Victoria Hall wis rebuilt in the 1920s after burning to the ground: \u2014because it was considered a necessity for the propagating of the human race, if you will.Would the same be done today if some disaster struck the building?Yes there are still meetings and clubs and classes given there.But could they be accommodated eIsewhere?The city has consulted residents on the Victoria Hall project.But somehow it seems hike they're giving in to a constituency that still hkes Victoria Hall meetings (and council meetings) the way others do not others with young famihes and an interest in sports and recreation who might better represent the city S mainstream.Certainly they represent Westmounts future.Despite all the fuss that's beg made over a downloading of costs to municipahtics, apparently Westmount has about $4 nullion to spend on Victoria Hall, creating a $1-nullion Ink with the library.for once thing, complete with a café and art gallery.At the same time consultants have been brought in to look at possibihties for the arcni, which is beginning to seem hike a rather dated facility, and needs a major and expensive repair to ats cooling system for safety TCASONS.Perhaps these consultants should also be given the mandate to explore how a new arena could be built (it makes the area near ones wallet pocket hurt just thinking about the cost) that would also house meeting rooms and club rooms and other facilities that would keep people \u201cin town.\u201d And have the residents, be they athletes, activists or young people, bumping into cach other on a regular basis at this other community centre.\u2014 Bernie O'Neill To the editor: It was exciling to read Councillor Cynthia Lulham*s column in Tue WESTMOUNT EXAMINER of Oct.30 that the dream of Victoria Hall as a

closed for quite as long when an unfortunate fecal foible occurs, \u201cWe've looked at what other pools do and we are considering decreasing the amount of time the pool has to bc closed.But it still \u2018hasn't been finalized.\u201d smd Mike director of Decgan, assistant Sports and Recreation.Under current city policy.the pool must be closed for six hours in order to filter the entire volume of water.This year swimmers lost at least one day of fun while the pool was thoroughly cleaned following an accident of this kind.Two years ago, the situation was worse with repeated deposits by an 8-year-old boy who was finally caught.Police beat Break-ins on mountain Two Westmount homes on the mountain were the targets of break-ins on the cvenng of Oct 30.The first break-in happened between 5:30 and 6:10 p.m.on Sunnyside Avenue.The suspect climbed up a metal support, then threw two rocks through à pair of windows which led to a bedroom.Police say nothing appeared to be missing from the home.That same mght, between 5:30 and 7:30 p.n1,, police say the same suspect may have also thrown a rock through a second-floor window on an Upper Belmont Avenue house.The suspect chmbed on a solarium and up to the second floor.He then dragged a safe down the stairs and out the front door.Westmount Public Security Officer Tim Wilson located the safe at 7:57 that evening, on Lansdowne Ridge.The 16 by 20 inch safe was still locked, but the door\u2019s handle was ripped off.lying 20 fect to the cast of the safe.There was also an attempted break-in at a home on Summit Crescent.Police say a suspect climbed onto a balcony at the rear of the house between midnight and 9 a.m.on Oct.31.He used a crowbar to try to break through a metal grill protected a window.When he was unable to break it.police say the suspect broke the patio door and left.Cae aaa The Westmount Examiner Study medal winner at Champlain Giuhia El-Dardiry, who complet- cd her high-school studies with an average of 92.3 per cent, was recently awarded The Study School\u2019s Governor-General\u2019s Medal.The medal goes to the student who receives the highest standings on the provincial exams.(Continued from page 3) d'Information sur la * Rénumération put the salary gap closer to 20 per cent, but even that\u2019s arguable according lo Crouch.He said the figures were inflated because they included four management staff with higher salaries, as well as blue-collar and electrie-utility overtime.The four labour groups have come up with more than 60 suggestions to eut costs without touching salaries, according lo director-general Bruce St.Louis, who has started meeting with El-Dardiry was also awarded the Baugniet Language Prize, the Mathematics Prize and the Vale Prize for Academic Achievement at

new collective agreements.Westmount, under the banner of the Conference of Suburban Mayors, 1s still refusing to accept Qucbecs proposal.The umon of smaller towns in Quebec has also refused to endorse it.However, the UMQ.which the Conference has severed lies with, accepted the deal.That means 35 per cent of the population won't sign, Trent said.He would not say what step the Conference, of which he

scrutiny once again this Halloween as judges made the rounds in a Westmount Public Sccurity van sizing up whose houses were most haunting.The yearly contest for best decorated houses was judged by local resident Laurcen Sweeney and city councillor Herbert Bercovitz.Strects were already crowded with goblins, rabbits, ninja turtles and Charlie Chaplins when they began their tour of Westmount just before 6 on Friday night.The night was mild and windy and leaves crackled underfoot.Seven public security officers patrolled the streets during the mght handing out bright protective tape and candy to kids who gathered around the vans.As usual, kids trundled up and down staircases, opening their bags to handfuls of candy to a chorus of \u201ctrick or treat\u201d reverberating down the streets, Some houses were more dramatically decorated with groaning, moaning and hcart-thumping music cmanating from open doors, while others displayed painstaking craftsmanship in intricately carved pumpkins.A prize went to 501 Mount Pleasant Avenue where a giant pumpkin with striped stocking legs waved its arms and swung its legs as kids approached the stairs.Kids opened their bags to catch the candy shooting down an open drain pipe running down the banister.The prize-winning house at 30 Windsor attracted kids with a tall and skinny skeleton with blinking red eyes.Next to it smoke swirled from a witch's cauldron which, unattended, bubbled toil and trouble.A small graveyard commemorated Rip van Winkle.What makes some streets more popular than others?\u201cSome streets have a reputation and kids will remember the streets known for good candy and decoration.\u201d said resident Jamie Mcintyre, who lives at Claremont and Windsor.A dramatic effort by the family at 8 Renfrew Ave.produced a live portrait of the Adams family.The Ornstein family-=including the dog\u2014stood on the lawn unmov- ing, unblinking and unsmiling.Kids sidled by glanemg at this ghostly, pale-faced family unsure if they were real.Bats hung upside down in the trees, swinging when the breeze lifted.Huge spiders with long black legs straddled whole cars, and skeletons danced in the windows.Homes with the most Halloween spirit were awarded prizes donated by local restaurants and stores.Some quicter arcas revealed more aesthetic Halloween dis- | plays.One house on Murray Hill Avenue had more than 20 pumpkins scattered on different levels of a sloped rock garden, \u201c= PERSONALIZED SCULPTURES For more information call Lauren Shayne (514) 739-1701 or Fax: (514) 739-1703 Cost may vary according to size,

SUR LA SITUATION FINANCIÈRE DE LA VILLE DE WESTMOUNT SÉANCE DU CONSEIL DU 3 NOVEMBRE 1997 Conseillers, mesdames et messieurs, bonsoir.Comme vous le savez, la loi m'impose de produire chaque année un rapport sur la santé financière générale de notre Ville.Ce rapport doit être présenté au moins quatre semaines avant l'adoption du budget de l'année suivante.Mes commentaires porteront sur trois des principaux aspects de notre situation financière: -les états financiers de l'année 1996, y compris les dépenses en immobilisations de l\u2019année: -une prévision préliminaire des opérations financières de l'année 1997; et, -les orientations générales du budget de 1998, de même que le plan triennal 1998-1999-2000 des dépenses en immobilisations.Les états financiers de l'année 1996 Nos vérificateurs, KPMG, ont formulé une opinion sans réserve sur la situation financière de la Ville de Westmount au 31 décembre 1996 et ses résultats d'exploitation au cours de l'année 1996.Ces états financiers ont fait l\u2019objet d'une présentation détaillée par le Président du Comité des Finances et de l'Administration à la séance du Conseil tenue le 7 avril 1997.En incluant les profits d'opération de notre distribution électrique, les revenus totaux pour l'année se sont See à 50 508 205$ contre un total des dépenses de 50 495 909$, dégageant un surplus d'opération de 12 296$.Les états financiers de l'année 1996 - suite Le budget municipal d'exploitation était de 51 136 300$.Les revenus totaux ont été inférieurs de 628 095$ au budget, alors que le total des dépenses réelles a été inférieur de 640 391$ au budget prévu.Au cours de l\u2019année 1996.les dépenses en immobilisations se sont élevées à 8 494 454$, y compris un montant de 4 110 438$ pour le secteur des services électriques.De ce montant, 2 298 960$ ont été financés par le biais du fonds de roulement, 3 014 090$ à même le fonds d'exploitation et 3 181 404$ ont ete imputés via les règlements d'emprunt (incluant notre projet de sous-station électrique).La solide situation financière de notre Ville, notamment le faible niveau de sa dette à long terme, se reflète dans la cote de ses obligations.La Ville de Westmount a reçu une cote \"AA+\" par le Canadian Bond Rating Service, soit la plus élevée de toutes les municipalités de la Province de Québec.Pour la première fois depuis 1983, de nouvelles obligations ont été émises sur le marché pour financer le projet de rajeunissement de la bibliothèque pour un montant de 6 millions.Prévisions pour l'année 1997 À la lumière des résultats à ce jour et des estimations pour le reste de l'année, nous prévoyons que les résultats au terme de l'année 1997 montreront un excédent des revenus sur les dépenses d'environ 50 000$.Ce léger surplus d'opérations reflète à nouveau les procédures strictes utilisées dans notre préparation budgétaire au cours des dernières années.Cette prévision quant à la situation financière au terme de l'année 1997 tient compte d'une diminution de revenus d'environ 200 000$ causée principalement par une diminution de nos revenus de contraventions.Malgré que nous envisagions un dépassement budgétaire de quelques 450 000$, une combinaison d'économies de l'ordre de 700 000$ contribuera à une rëduction générale d'environ 250 000$ par rapport aux montants budgétés de 50 763 000$.Ce résultat pourrait cependant varier selon les ajustements effectués dans le cadre de la vérification de fin d'année.Budget 1998 Le travail sur le budget 1998 a débuté le 4 août dernier par une séance de planification du Conseil en vue de définir les objectifs.Après cette séance, les lignes directrices du budget ont été adoptées par le Comité du Conseil.Ces lignes directrices exigeaient de maintenir les dépenses d'opération au niveau de 1997.De plus, aucune réduction dans les services n'était autorisée.Même en ne tenant pas compte de l'inflation, 1998 représentera la septième année du gel des coûts d'exploitation locale.Face aux incertitudes entourant les projets de transfert du gouvernement du Québec, le Conseil croit qu'it est plus prudent d'adopter un budget 1998 qui ne tient pas compte des effets de ces transferts de taxes.En d'autres mots.nous adopterions un budget basé sur la poursuite normale des opérations.En ce moment.tout en contestant les montants et la méthode de la \"réforme\" Trudel.nous n'avons aucune idée des économies que pourraient générer des coupures dans les salaires des employés ou tout autres mesures de réduction des coûts.Pas plus qu'avons nous une indication quant au niveau de \"soutien\u201d de Québec dans nos efforts de réduction de ces coûts.|| est loin d'être certain que tout ceci soit connu à temps pour l'adoption du budget 1998.Lorsque toutes les répercussions de ce transfert fiscal provincial seront connues, le Conseil adoptera, si nécessaire, un budget supplémentaire.Des comptes de taxes supplémentaires, si tel est le cas, seront envoyés et refléteront les couts réels de tout transfert de taxes.On procède présentement à l'étude du programme de dépenses en immobilisations pour la période de 1998 à 2000.À l'instar des dernières années, une bonne partie de ces dépenses en immobilisations a trait à l'amélioration de notre réseau routier et de nos édifices municipaux.J'aimerais vous faire savoir que nous prévoyons que notre quote-part des dépenses 1998 de la C.U.M.se situera au même niveau que celles de 1997.Ceci constituera la troisieme année du gel de notre contribution.Rémunération des élus municipaux La loi stipule que le maire doit faire état de fa rémunération que la Ville et les organismes intermunicipaux versent à chaque membre du Conseil.En 1997, le maire aura reçu de la Ville de Westmount une rémunération de 32 313$, dont 10 771$ constituent une indemnité de dépenses.titre de Vice-Président et de Membre du Comité Exécutif, le maire reçoit également, de la part de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal, un montant de 26 4438, dont 842$ constituent une indemnité de dépenses.Chaque conseiller reçoit de la Ville de Westmount un montant de 10 771$, dont 3 590$ constituent une indemnité de dépenses.Conclusion Nous prévoyons que le budget 1998 et que le programme de dépenses en immobilisations pour la période de 1998 à 2000 puissent être présentés officiellement au Conseil à sa séance du 1 décembre 1997.Le Conseil continuera à veiller à ce que la Ville de Westmount offre à ses citoyens une qualité de vie correspondant à leurs valeurs et à leurs aspirations, tout en tenant compte de leurs moyens et de leurs ressources.Je vous remercie.Peter F.Trent, maire THE MAYOR'S COMMENTS ON THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE CITY OF WESTMOUNT COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3, 1997 Councillors, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening.As you may know, | am required by law to report annually on the general financial health of our city.My report must be presented at least four weeks before the adoption of next year's budget.My comments will touch on three main financial areas: -the 1996 financial statements, including the capital expenditures for that year, -a preliminary forecast of the 1997 financial operations; and, -the overall direction of the 1998 Budget, along with the capital expenditures planned for 1998 to 2000.1996 Financial Statements Our auditors, KPMG, have expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial position of the City of Westmount as at December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations for 1996.These Financial Statements were presented in detail by the Chairman of the Finance and Administration Committee at the Council meeting held on April 7, 1997.Total municipal revenues for the year amounted to $50,508,205.including operating profits of our electric utility, against total expenditures of $50,495,909.leaving an operating surplus of $12,296.The Municipal Operating Budget was $51,136,300.Total revenues were below budgeted amounts by $628,095., whereas total actual expenditures were below budget by $640,391.During 1996, capital expenditures amounted to $8,494,454.including $4,110,438.tor our Utility section.Of this amount $2,298,960.was financed through the Working Fund, 43 014,090.through the Operating Fund and $3,181.404.was charged against Loan By-Laws (including our electrical sub-station project).The sound financial condition ot the City, especially its low level ot long-term debt, is reflected in its bond rating.The City of Westmount is rated \"AA+\" by the Canadian Bond Rating Service, the highest rating of any municipality in the province ot Québec For the first time since 1983, new Westmount debentures were issued on the market for a $6 million financing of the Library Renewal Project 1997 Forecast Based upon results obtained to date and estimates for the balance of the year, we expect that the year 1997 should close with an excess of revenues over expenditures m the range of $50,000.This small operating surplus reflects again the tighter process used in our budget preparation over the last number of years.This 1997 position is forecast to arise from reduced revenues of approximately $200,000 principally due to a reduction in revenues from fines.Even if we are forecasting snow removal operations to be some $450,000.over budget, a combination of savings in the order of $700,000.will contribute to an overall reduction of approximately $250,000.in expenditures on original budgeted amounts of $50,763,000.These results could, however, be modified depending upon adjustments which may be booked during the year-end audit.1998 Budget Work on the 1998 Budget began on August 4th at a Council Management planning session to identify objectives after which the Budget guidelines were adopted by Committee of Council.These guidelines called for a freeze in current dollars for total spending at the 1997 level.In addition, no reduction in services was permitted.1998 will be the seventh year of a freeze on local operating costs, in spite of inflation.In view of the uncertainty surrounding the downloading plans of the Québec government, Council feels it 1s prudent to adopt a 1998 budget that ignores the effect of such tax transfers.In other words, we would adopt a \"business as usual\u201d budget.At this point, as well as contesting the amount and manner of the Trudel \u201creform\u201d, we have no idea how much savings can be generated from employee remuneration cuts, or any other such offsetting cost reductions.Nor do we know the extent to which Québec will \"accompany\" us in efforts to reduce such costs.It is most unlikely that all this will be known in time for the adoption of the 1998 budget.When all the implications of the provincial tax transfer are known, Council will then adopt a supplementary budget, if necessary.Supplementary tax bills will then be sent out that reflect the true cost of any suc tax transfers - it any.The capital expenditure programme for the three years 1998 to 2000 1s currently under review.A good portion of these capital expenditures relate to upgrading our road network and our municipal buildings | am happy to report that our 1998 M.U.C.contribution is projected to be the same as that of 1997 This will be the third year of a contribution freeze.Remuneration of Elected Municipal Representatives The law stipulates that the Mayor has to report on the remuneration each Councit member receives from the City and from inter-municipal bodies.During 1997, the Mayor will have received from the City of Westmount a remuneration of $32,313.of which $10,771.is an expense allowance.The Mayor also receives from the Montreal Urban Community, as its Vice-Chairman and Member of its Executive Committee, an amount of $26,443.of which $842.is an expense allowance.Each Councillor receives from the City of Westmount an amount of $10,771.of which $3,590.is an expense allowance.Conclusion We expect that the 1998 Budget and the 1998- 1999-2000 Capital Expenditure Programme will be formally presented at a Council meeting to be held on December 1.1997.Council will continue to ensure that the City of Westmount offers a quality of life that reflects the values and aspirations of its residents, yet takes into account their means and resources.Thank you.Peter F.Trent, Mayor 40202417 18 - Thursday, November 6, 1997 Bacteria to belugas By FRANK TEUTON From bacteria to belugas, all life on our small planet is connected.This proposition, which scems a bit preposterous to some, 1s so well accepted that it 1s taught as a fact in biology and environment courses in schools and universi- tics.Our daly activities are still not in step with this reality, though.Many human actions in our modern cra have a destructive impact on the web of life on this planct.What we need to realize to motivate a change in our behavior is that we depend absolutely on that life-web for the food we cat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.Nor do we fully understand it; even today no onc has fully explained the life processes at work in a single cubic foot of fertile topsoil.Residential landscaping practices have their own impact on the environment, both locally and globally.Pesticides and fertilizers can run off into water systems, adding to the pollution already present and creating a chemical witch's brew whose consequences include cancer, birth defects and mutations in wildlife and in man.Other impacts mclude habitat destruction and reduced biodiversity.Since Columbus, the Americas have been opened up to à wide infusion of new flora and fauna, and have lost some of the old indigenous life forms.As urban sprawl spreads, more habitat is lost, so we need to adopt a more fertile and diverse approach to residential landscaping in addition to preserving greenspaces and wilderness arcas.A part of this approach is the intentional planting of diverse, wildhife-sup- porting plant material, such as flowers that attract hummingbirds, for example, or fruit bearing plants of various kinds.Another part is the return of the practice of tithing to naturc\u2014 leaving a space, however small, where the landowner keeps the land undisturbed, letting nature be what she will.This practice has pragmatic ben- cfits, to be sure, In the vegetable garden undisturbed places harbor toads and ground beetles, both substantial predators of slugs and other garden pests.But the dea goes beyond this.Leaving land to nature offers a place for creatures known and unknown, and allows a mosaic of little wild places that break up the monotony of Kentucky blucgrass and Norway maples, both newcomers to North America.It also can give us a place to observe nature, but not control her; a place we can be at peace.It was Henry David Thoreau who said, \u201cIn wilderness is the salvation of the world.\u201d * ** Horticulturist Frank Teuton is a member of Co-op Eco, an association of local businesses promoting alternatives to pesticides.For information, call

Le, i TO TUSPORTS ID Consultants to explore ar arena de BY SARAH MUSGRAVE The city has hired consulstants to look into various options for replacing the refrigeration system at the arena.But major changes may have to wait until the millennium.In September, safety concerns led provincial regulators to order the replacement of the direct ammonia system which cools the ice rink.Most ammonia rinks in Quebec have been modified to brine systems, reducing the amount of the dangerous substance on site.Some residents have suggested that when the system is replaced it would be an opportune time to consider improving the local sports facility, which many feel falls short of what is offered in other towns.\u201cWe know we have major work to do,\u201d city councillor John Bridgman told council.\u201cWe'll have to close the existing facility at the end of Apnl to put in a brine system.So we're looking at how best to do that and incorporate that into a long-term plan for the arena.\u201d The $10,000 Dclisle, Despaux and Associés feasibility study will explore various refriger- Novice player scores five Shapiro and Santiago Menghini.Teddy McConnell scored at 13:54 of the third period to give the Canadiens a 2-1 victory against the Bears.Matthew Robins gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead with just over five minutes to play in the second period.With 1:10 left to play in the second, Charles Fortin tied the game.David Berliner scored the first hat-trick of the atom scason to help the Penguins skate to a 5-2 win against the Canadiens.Scan Brophy and Jeremy Elkin scored the two Canadiens goals.John McKenna and Matthew Kogan assisted on Brophy'\u2019s goal.The Stars opened the season with a 5-3 win against Avalanche.Chris Deruchie scored twice while singles went to Alex Aiken, Derrek Nador and Ryan Moxness.Douglas Deruchie, Moxness, and Andrew Smith all had assists for the Stars.Blair Bennett scored two goals for the Avalanche.Teammate Jonathan Lutter-Hoppenheim got the other goal.Ryan Sanft assist- cd on Bennetts first goal.After a couple of weeks practicing, the novice and atom teams playing in the Westmount Hockey house league finally got a chance to face off in their first official games of the season.Six novice and four atom tcams got the 1997-98 campaign under way at the Westmount Arcna on Saturday.The opening contest featured the Senators taking on the Sharks in novice action\u2014a game young Sammy Bick will likely remember for some time.Bick scored five goals to lead the Senators to an 8-2 victory.His first two markers gave his tcam a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period.He picked up two more in the second frame and added number five with 2:45 remaining in the final stanza.David Rothstein, Andrew Harris and Devin Lester had one goal cach in the winning cause, while Sam Black filed two assists.Drew Hannen scored both Sharks goals.He got one in the second period and found the mark again carly in the third.In the following game the Guards and Dragons put one point cach in the standings after ants, whether or not existing equipment may be reused and what changes would be necessary to extend the ice rink scason.City officials will also look at facilities in municipalitics of similar size.However major improvements to the facilities may not take place until 2002, Bridgman said.Temporary improvements to safety features were quickly made last month, delaying the hockey scason by only a few weeks.According to onc estimate, installing a brine system for the 1998/1999 season could cost about $600,000.Raicek, \u201cWe almost paid for it\u201d ~~ uth, who ered iem Jot to see\u2019 othe truth behind the old sports, id it's over.: ip 3- \u2018heading into the third period, LAW players thinking the ame was a foregone conclusion sat back on their lead.After CEO © scored.two unanswered goals i in the final frame to get within one, AW had t quickly regroup to hang on.to a narrow 3-2 win, we were on easy.street,\u201d \"LAW forward Claude ackchecking i in the third-period and showing up to the game by assist on his secondperiod goal, Teammate Dominic Agostino was the LAW\u2019 main offensive uth\u2019s marker.Bob Adam, West with two, and Bruce Dobby d assists for LAW.* Roman McNamara made a:couple of key saves in the third peri- \u201cod to keep CEO from evening the score.Lorne Cooper and Robert Briscoe got CEQ on the scoresheet just over four minutes apart midway an the third.Paul Lamontagne, Briscoe and Alin \u2014 Bob Oliver THE VILLAGE afternoon.On Remembrance Day, skating to a 2-2 tie.the atom inter-city Wings travel to Zachary Feldman and William PLAY IT AGAIN Montreal West for a 7 p.m.start.Cooper scored for the Dragons ==, The novice \u2018A\u2019 Wings will host with assists going to Ryan Yoffe -
