another school year has drawn to a close @- that summer is slipping in for its short stay.ro As we watched the millennium alter our calendars and hopes for the future, we have realized that this has been a special year.In our schools, June is usually the culmination of the year with a finale of field trips.memories.graduations and sports days.With the passing of academic time, children can acknowledge their year-end\u2019s development and be proud of their accomplishments and growth.Calling around to Westmount\u2019s schools, I was greeted with many enthusiastic tales of school events

recent Municipal Court judgment against him\u2014so furious that b ; @r refuses to pay his fine and is ready to go to prison.\u2018This is an absolute injustice,\u201d the Sherbrooke Street piano teacher said of his case, which stems from complaints that his dog was disturbing the peace in Westmount Park.Claiming that the charges are totally unfounded, Chin has vowed that anyone attempting to collect the fine will be wasting their time.\u2018I'm really outraged by this business,\u2019 he said.\u2018I'll go to prison\u2014I'll do anything.I'm never going to give in.\u201d Five Years Ago June 22, 1995: MULTI-STATION REZONING: \u201cIf the issue of rezoning of several districts for Westmount\u2019s new multi-station is not settled by next month, the project may fall behind schedule, Mayor Peter Trent says.\u2018I'm not too concerned right now,\u201d Trent said.\u2018But I may be in a month if the zoning isn\u2019t settled and if negotiations private owners are not settled.The mayor said the city is trying to perform a delicate \u2018balancing act\u2019 by trying to sell off the current location on Stanton Street and at the same time negotiate with private land owners to buy a new site.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago June 20, 1985: WESTMOUNT\u2019S FIRST WATCH: \u201cPolice have done all they can to prevent crime in Westmount.The rest is up to citizens.With that message from local MUC police director John Dalzell Tuesday night, Neighborhood Watch was born in Westmount in the southeast section.Some 40 residents of Ward 8 turned out to the first Neighborhood Watch meeting here, held at the Unity Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club, 1090 Greene avenue.\u201d Twenty-Five Years Ago June 26, 1975: DE MAISONNEUVE CLOSES: \u201cDe Maisonneuve boulevard will be closed on Monday at Melville avenue for six months, city council agreed last evening, simply by enactment of Bylaw 768, which has been languishing in the city files for three years.The move to close the street from Melville to Academy Road, thus stopping traffic from moving through Westmount Park, follows receipt by council of a letter from the Montreal Urban Community giving their blessing to the move.\u201d Forty-Five Years Ago June 24, 1955: IRON DOG RECOVERED: \u201cA 300- pound iron dog, which vanished mysteriously from in front of its Westmount home early Saturday morning was recovered by police on Redpath Crescent Monday night.The dog, a replica of Labrador retriever, is the property of EW Waugh, 4870 Westmount Avenue, and is one of a pair brought from England by Mr.Waugh\u2019s forebears 100 years ago.\u201d Assembly concludes with tough issues By Glenn Wanamaker If former Health Minister Jean Rochon could talk, he might be tempted to update what he said just before the 1998 election.At the time, he confessed to La Presse he had been seriously concerned that his government's zero deficit obsession would derail his health system reforms.The transformation came \u201cwithin a hair of skidding out of control,\u201d he said then.On many days during the National Assembly session that concluded last week, it looked like the skid marks were getting longer.Current minister Pauline Marois was on her feet day after day during Question Period, trying to defend her efforts to nurse a bludgeoned system back to health.On the final day, Liberal leader Jean Charest again called for her resignation, producing documents suggesting she abdicated her responsibility in the latest affair involving the billing of cancer patients for medication.At issue was why hospitals were directing patients to buy certain drugs themselves, when hospitals are required to pay for all the drugs they administer.Marois conceded the practice is illegal, but said she never knew about it.The Liberals, however, tried to show through documents that regional health boards spotted the practice more than two years ago and urged that it be stopped.She too, they said, must have or should have known.With her health system so poly-trau- matized, it\u2019s totally conceivable she did- n\u2019t know.But what this latest controversy signifies is that the fundamental problem of chronic under-funding remains.The pressure on hospitals to balance their budgets (it\u2019s actually now the law after the government used closure to push through the anti-deficit law for health institutions) is forcing administrators to make tough choices and cut corners.Marois has made efforts to solve emergency care crises, doctor and nursing shortages, and cancer treatment and surgical delays.But the list of needs is long and progress hard to see.Two new reports last week highlighted more after-effects of past budget cuts.Auditor-General Guy Breton said finan- cially-squeezed hospitals are dipping into building maintenance funds to pay for health services, resulting in poorly- maintained facilities.By delaying necessary repairs, he said, hospitals will end up paying four times as much.He also scorched the government for uneven regional access to care, noting for instance that in many areas, patients must wait several months to see a physiotherapist while they can get into a private clinic in about a week.The Quebec Council on the Status of Women said there is an urgent need for extra home care funding as well as convalescent facilities for day surgery patients who have no caregivers at home.Women especially are shouldering the burden of health system reforms.the Council said, because they are most often the ones who become caregivers when patients are discharged from hospital early.Marois now has the summer to contemplate what must be done.To help her, she will ask members of a new committee, to be set up this week, to examine the knotty question of financing.That means a look at how much privatization of the health system should be allowed.Public hearings are expected.THE OMBUDSMAN In the past few years, Quebec Ombudsman Daniel Jacoby has embarrassed, cajoled, and criticized the government.That\u2019s his job\u2014to look after the interests of citizens who may have suffered from insensitive, over-zealous, or improper decisions of the government or its institutions.He tackled the issue of the Duplessis Orphans, health reforms, the drug insurance program, social assistance, the Public Curator\u2019s office, and a thousand and one cases of sloppy or unjust government actions.The tables, however, have been turned.Jacoby himself last week revealed he has been the target of an investigation by a special audit team in the Finance Ministry.And he doesn't like it one bit.He accused the investigators of acting in a \u201ccompletely unacceptable\u201d manner, of rummaging through the file cabinet of an employee, of circulating protected personal information such as his personal credit card number and Social Insurance number, and above all, of writing a report that \u201cattacks my credibility and honesty.\u201d \u201cThe way they behaved is against the Charter of Human Rights,\u201d he said.\u201cThe final result of the report is harmful to the institution.Daniel Jacoby is nothing in this case; it's the institution, and the credibility and integrity of alot of employees of the Ombudsman.\u201d The report was handed to National Assembly Speaker Jean-Pierre Charbonneau, who agreed to turn the whole matter over to the Auditor- General.The only details of the report\u2019s allegations are those that Jacoby himself revealed\u2014that the Ombudsman accepted honoraria, took unauthorized holidays, used his office for purposes beyond his responsibility, and submitted a false expense claim.The report also suggests the Ombudsman improperly accorded benefits to foreign officials and engaged in international cooperation.Jacoby is secretary of the International Institute of Ombudsmen and president of the International Association of Ombudsmen and Mediators of la Francophonie.There is, of course, a subtext.The Bouchard government is no fan of Jacoby, and has been trying to dump him since 1997.Last December, Jacoby said he learned from a Bouchard advisor that \u201cthe premier did not like the attention I paid to certain issues.\u201d But to replace him, the government needs Opposition support in a National Assembly vote.The Liberals have refused, forcing the government to prolong his mandate.Is this payback time?Jacoby was asked.\u201c] have no elements that allow me to conclude this is a vendetta,\u201d he said.FINAL SPRINT In a last dash to the summer recess, the government pushed through five bills, including the hospital anti-deficit law and legislation that doubles premiums for the prescription drug plan.Also rammed through was the bill allowing the government to force municipal mergers and another creating the new Montreal Metropolitan Community.On the final day, new legislation was also introduced.One bill will require all public bodies to develop employment equity plans for women, visible minorities, and natives.Agriculture Minister Rémy Trudel tabled a bill to create a new super agriculture financing and investment agency to take over various farm support and insurance programs.MNAs then left town with a nine per cent pay raise over four years, the same as most other public employees.Faring much better were 671 top civil servants, who will get increases of between 12 and 24 per cent.Glenn Wanamaker can be reached by e-mail at wanamakerg@hotmail.com (continued from page 6) in gathering data, doing research and providing information.We want to give these individuals and groups the tools they need to do their good work and provide them with information on subjects such as human resource management and marketing\u2014subjects important to the effective operation of a voluntary organization.We will be committing funding to help bring the voluntary sector onto the information highway, to help them use the Internet more effectively to share information and build bridges between communities.Not least of all, we will be striving to reduce the red tape that volunteer organizations can face.Why are we doing this?The Liberal Party of Canada committed itself during the last federal election to renewing the government's relationship with the voluntary sector.We are keeping that promise by involving leaders of the voluntary sector to help us develop and then implement our plan.We want to do what we can to strengthen the sector.Further, we want to involve the sector directly in the work of government\u2014 working together with us in the development of policies, programs and services, so that government might better support Canadians who wish to help others.The Canadian government is committed to doing what it can to nurture the civic spirit that underlies this commitment.Z a6eg - 0002 \u2018zz aun( Aepsinux - YINIAVXG LINNOWLSIM HL Baskin earns top awards and a trip to Denmark It\u2019s been a great few weeks for Marianopolis

Many folk like to take their woofs for a jog or a run now that the streets are clear.Great idea; everyone gets in bathing suit shape.But be careful.Dogs don\u2019t sweat through their skin as we do.They have only their tongues and panting to control body temperature.So think much shorter distances and time.A couple of blocks at a fast trot will be plenty for starters.And keep a close eye on your friend, who won\u2019t have the sense to slow down or stop himself.The jogging should start after pees and poops have been done, and very early or quite late in the day, away from the heat.We live these wonderful few months with more fresh food.Let your friend enjoy them with you.He can share almost anything except quantities of onions (can lead to hemolytic anaemia).Leftover bits of salads, veggies, fruits, barbecued meats, along with yogurt and cheese, will make summer a wonderful time for him/her too.Keep the portions very small (especially spicy offerings, or your carpets may suffer overnight), and serve with his regular meals, not from the table (or you'll never be able to eat in peace again!).Make absolutely sure there is plenty of fresh water at all times.On hot days, ice cubes in the water or offered alone are a real treat.After you've applied sunscreen, wipe your hands on your friend\u2019s nose and ear tips.And, of course, you'll never leave your woof in a car or tied to a pole while you shop, eh?Who me?Never!

himself helping young adults attain success.By Sidhartha Banerjee When Jim Wright left his position as city councillor for Ward 6 last November, it was a given that the Kensington Avenue resident would resurface somewhere.With the amount of time and devotion he gave to his personal projects and volunteering commitments, it would be -difficult for the 6-foot-plus Wright to stay idle.So when he joined EPOC Montreal last September as its executive director, it seemed to be a perfect fit.\u201cIt was time for a career change and I figured if I didn\u2019t do it when I did\u2014I never would,\u201d explained Wright, who left a successful career as a commercial real estate lawyer to join EPOC.\u201cI have done an awful lot of volunteering\u2014l\u2019ve put in a lot of my own time, and Epoc was a natural next step.\u201d EPOC may well be Montreal's best- kept secret.Nestled between an array of buildings in cluttered Old Montreal, the organization has been helping young adults since its inception in 1970.EPOC prepares its participants\u2014 between the ages of 18 and 30, generally people who have dropped out of high school or CEGEP for various reasons\u2014 for re-entry into the job market at entry level positions by upgrading their basic math, French and computer skills.The hope is that their is room for advancement in whatever field they choose.\u201cWe don\u2019t get them the job, but we give them the tools to go out and get it themselves,\u201d said Wright.The organization also offers them the opportunity to hone their job-hunt- ing techniques\u2014but most

want EPOC to be another disappointment for them,\u201d said Wright.Many companies hire EPOC graduates for various employment possibiligg ties.\u201cLots of companies have hirea EPOC graduates, and many are willing to hire them again because they know their getting a good product.\u201d EPOC is partially funded by Emploi- Quebec, a government agency.The remaining budget is funded by private

of participants in the program are working or back in school working towards a degree.Westmounters are very involved in this organization as well.Philip Hillel teaches computers at EPOC, and Susan Kirby-Jones and Denise Rolland sit on EPOC\u2019s board of directors.While Wright has gone on to something different, he says that he likes his new stomping grounds just fine\u2014it keeps him out of
