MacKinnon is calling on Greater Montreal residents to help stop the demolition of one of Canada's nonrenewable resources\u2014the historic York Theatre on downtown Ste.Catherine Street.Although a building permit has yet to be issued, the theatre\u2019s owner, Concordia University, posted a notice requesting demolition on the theatre in late 2000.In response, MacKinnon, director of Historic Theatres\u2019 Trust, submitted an opposition to the demolition.\u201c] think that citizens should be made aware that this could potentially be a needless loss,\u201d MacKinnon said this week.Built in 1938, the York Theatre was the last grand movie palace built in Montreal, and is the only one of its kind left in Quebec.Although it has been left vacant for 11 years, the building is structurally sound and the integrity of the original interior remains intact.Renowned theatre decorator Emmanuel Briffa designed the elegant Streamline Deco décor.While the York features the best of Briffa\u2019s Art Deco work, it typifies theatre design of the 1930s.The building also follows design formats that had proved successful; six storefronts at ground level along the Ste.Catherine Street face, and 45 apartments were constructed on two floors above them.In March, interested citizens will have an opportunity to voice their concerns at a public hearing of the Montreal Urban Development Committee.At that time, the City of Montreal will present Concordia\u2019s plans to demolish the theatre to make room for a proposed expansion of the campus, which would construct at that site a building of up to 12 stories to house the Engineering and Fine Arts departments.The York Theatre, it seems, is not the cornerstone, but the stumbling block to the expansion plans.Although not cited as a heritage building, a booklet published in 1987 by Jocelyne Martineau for the Qe of Communications and ulture highlighted a two-volume study which ranked the value of 13 theatres in Montreal.In it Martineau suggested all the buildings be cited as heritage buildings.In June 1999 Raymonde Gauthier, president of the city\u2019s heritage committee (Comité consultatif de Montréal sur la protection de biens culturel) wrote in a letter to The downtown York Theatre, now at the centre of Concordia\u2019s expansion plans.MacKinnon that the committee had decided unanimously to send Historic Theatres\u2019 Trust's request for a heritage citation for the Cinema York, the Corona and Cinema Empress (Cinema V) theatres, to the municipal executive committee for Mayor Pierre Bourque\u2019s consideration.The request remains on the mayor's desk.\u201cThis administration has not processed one citation since it has been in power,\u201d said MacKinnon.Michael Di Grappa, Vice Rector of Services for Concordia, said that integrating the theatre into the new structure would cost a significant portion of the $200 million allotted to the project.\u201cThe cost of supporting the underneath and to reinforce the top of the building would be prohibitive,\u201d he said.\u201cIt would also hamper the use of a loading dock and parking access for the university, and close down a lane that services three apartment buildings.It is our intent, however, to incorporate and recreate architectural pieces using existing materials as a salute to the York.\u201d Concordia does not yet have permission to build, although they have already engaged the services of a Toronto architectural firm.Should the university get its permit to demolish, Historic Theatres\u2019 Trust will appeal to the provincial government.which is already involved.Concordia has already fought an unsuccessful battle over a heritage apartment building on Bishop Street.the Royal George- of which only the façade remains part of the school\u2019s new library building.In addition, the province classified the Bishop Court apartments that now house Concordia\u2019s executive offices as an historic site.The citation also includes a protective zone of 500 feet from Bishop Court.The York Theatre falls within that zone.Although the theatre is not classified an historic building by the province, its proximity to Bishop Court does protect it.Last spring three directors from Historic Theatres\u2019 Trust, including MacKinnon, along with represenia- tives from other concerned heritage groups.met with DiGrappa and Concordia Rector and Vice- Chancellor Dr.Frederick Lowy at the site for a tour of the theatre.MacKinnon responded with a letter offering the services of the Trust to work together with Concordia to find a creative solution for the site.MacKinnon\u2019s suggestions include a variety of solutions.\u201cConcordia could develop the site incorporating the theatre into new the building.It always costs less to refurbish than to build anew.There is also a significant cost to demolition as well.There are other cost effective options.The university could erect the new building on the present site of the Visual Arts Building on René Lévesque.When that building was inaugurated 20 years ago, Concordia said it could be expanded two more floors if needed.\u201d Another option could be to sell the theatre, which takes up less than half the site.According to MacKinnon, studies in North America have proven that refurbished theatres are one of the most significant factors in contributing to urban renewal.\u201cIt is ironic that Concordia is willing to tear down a historic Art Deco building in order to house one of the best Fine Arts faculties in the country,\u201d she said.\u201cInstead of looking at the York as a liability, Concordia should look at it as an asset.It is one of the best of three Art Deco cinemas in Canada.Why is Concordia not capitalizing on the fact that they own a significant building?The downtown campus includes several rows of grey and red stone buildings.Why not retain the charm of that section of downtown?\u201d MacKinnon is a third-generation Westmounter whose community involvement has included serving as a director of the Westmount Municipal Association and the Westmount Historical Association.Her work as a heritage consultant includes current involvement with : the restoration of the Bonsecours Market.The York Theatre will be featured in the spring issue of Heritage Canada\u2019s magazine and MacKinnon is currently writing an article for the same publication about theatre preservation in Canada.HL m MMM - YININYXT INNOINLSIM M Buying or selling a home?Call the duo that does it best 933-6781 REMIX RE/MAX WESTMOUNT INC.Chartered Reo!

all this ice and slush, but as we ease into March there is certainly a general feeling of printemps in the air, if only just on the calendar.i One sure sign of spring in this city is the annual call for nominations for the Westmount Municipal Association\u2019s Volunteer Citizen of the Year Award.Now in its fourth straight year, this award has become not only a much-anticipated part of the WMA's annual general meeting, but also a formidable honour for the person it is bestowed upon.Westmount has always boasted an unusually high level of community participation among its residents, therefore to be named Volunteer Citizen of the Year by the WMA is no small pat on the shoulder.This year\u2019s winner will join the ranks of Sylvia Wedge, Vera Jamieson and Jacqueline Neville as one of Westmount's outstanding community volunteers over the past few years.Although the WMA has never received as many nominations for this award as it would have liked, this time the opposite may prove to be true.The past year was dominated by the anti-merger fight, and to say that a lot of Westmounters gave freely of their time and energy to this cause would be a gross understatement.From organizing bus trips to distributing signs and making hundreds of phone calls, many Westmounters\u2014some of whom had never really done much volunteer work in the community previously\u2014answered the call and came through for their city when needed.Last year was a remarkable one for Westmount, resulting from the threat to its autonomy.Countless new friendships were forged, and social barriers collapsed around those of different mother tongues and tax brackets as everyone worked tirelessly together toward saving their city.The volunteer spirit was stronger than ever before in this city and, as a result, one would expect that the WMA's judging panel will now be overloaded with submissions.This would be a good thing, of course, but choosing one person from so many suitable candidates presents itself as a daunting, unenviable task.M Wayne Larsen Assembly reconvenes do feel that they are just i- fied in complaining.Their contract with the government expired over two years ago and they are

\u2018One island, One city\u2019 plan became more visible this week with the installation of large anti-amalgama- tion signs throughout the city.\u2018These signs will stay up as long as necessary.\u2019 said Mayor Peter Trent as he and Director General Bruce St.Louis inspected two newly-erected signs in front of City Hall on Tuesday.St.Louis said the signs will also be placed at other strategic locations around Westmount\u2014in front of Victoria Hall, at the corner of Edgehill Road and The Boulevard, in the Glen and at the intersection of Dorchester.Ste.Catherine and Clarke Avenue.\u201d Five Years Ago February 22.1996: \u201cThe City of Westmount recast its public safety structure recently with an eye toward prevention.City officials are expected to formally announce at the March council meeting the creation of a Fire Prevention and Community Relations Bureau.They will also announce the hiring of Jim Novak.previously employed in the Westmount Public Security Department.as Community Relations Officer.\u201d Ten Years Ago February 21.1991.STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE: \u201cVictoria avenue.wide and pleasant.has broken the bankbook of many a store owner.So far this year.six businesses between de Maisonneuve boulevard and Somerville avenue have defaulted on their business taxes.either through bankruptcy.skipping town or closing with no assets.The turnover on this.the southern commercial part of Victoria.is regular and relatively high.This section of the street has.through the vears, been transformed 1to a service centre\u2014less dependant on walk-in trade.\u201d Twenty Years Ago February 26, 1981: W.H.S.FIRE: \"Investigation of a suspicious fire at Westmount High School has been turned over to the MUC arson squad after preliminary investigation by fire officials revealed it had been \u2018maliciously set\u2019.The fire.which started sometime overnight Thursday in the telephone panel.apparently burned itself out and was not discovered until Friday morning when the phones would not work.Fire officials said it appeared to have been deliberately set with lighter fluid in an unoccupied area of the basement.\u201d Hogg faces competitive market To the editor: The Feb.15 letter to the editor by Mark Moore implies that we at Hogg Hardware are out to cheat and rob the citizens of Westmount.He implies that we have no competition and as such can charge whatever we please.We have been in business here for eight years and in that time we have seen the development of many large surface retailers.We compete not only with Reno Depot (there is one only five minutes way by car in NDG), but also Rona L'entrepot and Home Depot.We compete with Canadian Tire and Zellers at Alexis Nihon Plaza: we compete with Wal Mart on Decarie.With the exception of Canadian Tire.none of these stores were here when we opened.| believe it would be safe to say that almost every resident of Westmount has a car or access to one.Most of our customers drive here.All these other stores are much further away and the parking is no doubt easier.To say that we have not faced the realities of a competitive marketplace is absurd.There is no doubt that we will lose business to this bulldozer from America and | cannot say that | am happy about it.All these large surface stores, as well as large national chains.practice a pricing policy called variable pricing.This policy lowers the prices on goods that people are familiar with and can remember.while increasing prices on goods that are not as well known.We have been to Reno-depot and have observed that our prices on our paints.for example.are the same as theirs\u2014except for white.We have adjusted our price to be competitive with theirs.Of course that leaves us with no profit on that item.As for the accusation that our prices are exorbitant, nothing could be further from the truth.If you look up the word \u2018exorbitant\u2019 in the dictionary.it is defined as beyond reason.If a particular item in our store is ten per cent more expensive than Canadian Tire.I would not call that bevond reason.We have many items in our store that are less expensive here than at other stores.We are located in an area with high commercial rents.Many of these big box stores are located on inexpensive land.and as such their occupancy -\u2014æ | etters to the editor \u2014\u2014\u2014 costs are lower.I am not claiming that Hogg Hardware has the lowest prices in the city, but we deliver value.Our customers recognize this and they trust us to bring them quality goods at fair prices.Most of our hardware comes trom our wholesaler.Rona.which does extensive market research to make sure its retailers have competitive pricing.As a wholesaler, Rona\u2019s sales have doubled over the last five vears.They must be doing something right.There are some items in our store that cost us more than what some others sell them for.For the most part.we carry these items as a service to our customers who prefer not to go to a store with little or no service.or might pick up the product because they need it and we have it much like a depanneur.A big element of our success is our service.Many of our customers like to get advice when they come into our store.Our level of staffing is double that of a Canadian Tire.We must pay these people, and this increases our cost of doing business.Mr.Moore also implies that Home Depot will be good for the local economy.I take exception to that opinion.Home Depot as a firm has an average profit after expenses of ten per cent.We are nowhere near that number We all work hard here to try to offer our customers quality products not just shoddy goods to make a fast dollar.We offer service and advice with our products, something that is quite difficult to find in large surface stores.Home Depot is the largest renovation chain in the world.They are driven by the stock market to produce.They do not care about you or I: their duty is to the stock market.There will be no increase in sale in the renovation market when they open their store.They will take $40 million in sales away from existing stores.This means that up to 12 stores the size of Hogg Hardware will be put out of business.We employ 35 people, full- and part-time.If you multiply that by ten, you have 350 people who could be put out of work.Home Depot will hire 200 that leaves 150 people out of work.As we can see.ten per cent of their sales will be going to the U.S.and 150 pco- ple will be out of work.Most of their products will come from the States.How does that benefit our local economy?All employees and sharchold- ers in Hogg Hardware live here in Montreal.There are no profits being sent down to the Americans.Our family has been in business in Letters are welcome this city for more than 100 years (formerly as the Guaranteed Pure Milk Co.) .In that time we have developed a reputation for hogesty and integrity that we have worked hard to earn.We have a family foundation that gives out more than $1 million per vear to help the less fortunate in this city.To have our name besmirched in public is not something we take lightly.Please, Mr.Moore, before you write another letter to the editor do à little research.George Hogg Hogg Hardware Dresher was misrepresented To the editor: I am writing to take great exception to the nasty and poorly considered attack on Honey Dresher written by May Cutler in last week's Examiner.1 have known Ms.Dresher for over 20 years and did not recognize the person I saw described in that letter.What shocked me more than anything was that, as opposed to refleet- ing on whether or not Ms.Dresher was right or wrong in accepting her appointment to the province's \u2018transition team\u2019 for the new megacity, Ms.Cutler presented what was clearly a character assassination, Ms.Dresher has spent most of her career contributing to à wide variety of cthno-cultural communities and has worked tirelessly to improve the lot of many less fortunate Montrealers.She is eminently qualified to serve on this committee due to her extraordinary contacts in business and at all three levels of government.As one who was asked to serve on the transition team and refused for reasons of my own, at the same time disagreeing strongly with the mergers, I side with Ms.Dresher that it is always better to work from inside an unfortunate situation than be left on the dock crying over lost opportunity after the boat has departed.May Cutler's contributions to the City of Westmount notwithstanding, she should be ashamed of the cruel, hurtful and pointless personal attack she made on a Montrealer of substance.Rob Braide Victoria Avenue he Westmount Examiner welcomes letters to the editor on issues of interest and will make every

ideal.It\u2019s just a pity it's not being used.\u201d For many during the summer.the pond, shrouded in shade from tall trees, is a sultry getaway from the midday heat.The City decided this year.after installing a new liner around the pond\u2019s edges, to freeze it over during the winter on an experimental basis.Since the beginning of February.residents have been able to put on their skates in the comfort station beside the outdoor rink.and skate on the horse- shoe-shaped pond while listening to recorded music.But so far relatively few Westmounters seem to have taken the City up on its offer.Public Works Director Fred Caluori dismissed a suggestion that the popularity of the rink has yet to catch on, pointing out that the new rink is small and limited by natural factors, such as its shape.\u201cUnfortunately, there's not much we can do.\u201d he said.\u201cThat's the geometry of it.It would be nice to go around in a circle but we can\u2019t.That\u2019s the nature of the

now 1 have been visiting the eighteen new boroughs outside of the present City of Montreal.started this tour to go get a good perspective on the area tha will become the new city of Montreal on January 1st 2002.CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS 1 meet dozens of personalities from the fields of business community and culture as well as hundreds of citizens, in Anjou, Saint-Laurent, Outremont, Lachine and Verdun.| was able to explain law 170 in detail, to listen to the concerns of average people, and to deal with their apprehensions and fears.The welcome was always warm and the discussion always instructive.| will follow through with this exercise throughout the month of March until the beginning of April.After this ! will come back to you with a complete report.After touring these municipalities or new boroughs 1 will continue with visits to the nine new boroughs of the actual City of Montreal in order to feel the pulse of the entire population of the island of Montreal, A CHOSEN PLACE FOR MONTREAL We must understand that law 170 offers a unique opportunity to Montreal.We must seize this opportuni- {y to position our city well in the context of Quebec Canada, and the world.Consider that with a population of 1.8 million, Montreal will become, - on an equal footing with Houston -, the fifth fargest City in North America, alter New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Toronto, In Quebec this reaffirms our place as the great metropolis of the province.RESPECTING THE AUTONOMY OF THE BOROUGHS The wisdom of this Taw is that it will reinforce Montreal and the sense of belonging to Montreal: while at the same time promoting the autonomy and sense of belonging to the new boroughs.During my visits 1 have noticed a great misunderstanding of the Law, largely due perhaps to the intense campaign of misinformation that was used against it.1am therefore quite happy that this long dialogue with citizens allows me the opport- nity to respond to the preoccupations and questions of the people at large.Iam also taking advantage of every occasion offered with the cultural communities and other groups to explain the details of this Taw and 1 am convinced that this will help to bring about a harmonious transition.It is necessary as never before to work together to create a city of which we can all be proud.A city that will be ceonomically strong, as well as one which is socially and culturaly dynamic, à city that is known for sharing and creativity.AN INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE In the same order of things l'invite vou to follow the debates taking place during the Summit of American Mayors - 2001 which will take place in Montreal form the 27th to the 30th of March of this year.Twenty-five mayors from Canada, USA, Central America and South America will come to discuss the place of their particular city in the context of the integration of American Markets.We also wish to create partnerships and exchanges in terms of social and cultural growth within the context of sustainable development, and the challenge of defeating urban poverty, 1tis within this vision that Montreal must continue to play a primordial role, not only in Quebec and Canada but also on the international scene.It goes without saying that this role will be greatly amplified by the creation of the new city on the fist of January, 2001.Pierre Bourque | Maire de Montréal VISION MONTREAL LANDRY'S BIG TEST Glenn Wanamaker e coming weeks are fraught with traps for incoming premier Bernard Landry.He's been in politics for 30 years but no one outside his own riding has ever had to decide whether they liked him or not.As of now, everyone is watching.This weekend, he has to manoeuvre through the minefield of another PQ national council meeting, where language purists and Yves Michaud supporters could make life miserable.Whereas the troops should be focussed on re-energizing the party and bolstering stagnating party membership.they could just as easily repudiate the party executives position on language and even repudiate Lucien Bouchard by insisting on approval of a resolution expressing \u201csincere apologies\u201d to Michaud.Whereas the meeting should be a time for the party to show its love and devotion to Bouchard's bulldog successor, it could show itself as a party caught between the past and the future.Before long, Landry will also have to show if he has the qualities of a statesman.Both he and International Relations Minister Louise Beaudoin have complained loudly that Ottawa is playing games over the premier's place in the Summit of the Americas.He will of course be excluded from the formal Summit proceedings.which are reserved for heads of state.But he should be considered as more than a \u201cpotted plant.\u201d as Beaudoin ge Vision Centre Eyecare

diplomatic skills.Leaders of the impoverished Dominican Republic or earthquake- ravaged El Salvador really won't care to hear that Landry\u2019s government is the only true \u2018national\u2019 government of the Quebec people.Nor will the thousands of people attending the parallel People's Summit whose concerns are about poverty, exclusion, corruption.and economic domination.If he passes that test, he will then have to look around at the Quebec political landscape.Last week, the Rassemblement pour lalternative politique (RAP) was officially recognized as a political party by the Chief Elections Office.Parties come and parties go, but RAP.whose members include the firebrand former labour leader Michel Chartrand.has been slowly preparing itself to siphon off some of the PQ\u2019s left-wing vote.More interesting still is the persistent talk of creating another social democratic party.led by the high profile leader of the Quebec Federation of Women, Françoise David.If someone as

the pharmacists from carrying out their threat.If it had been carried out, people would have been forced to pay for their prescriptions.or not get them at all.The Liberals supported the special

government is moving ahead on two other aspects of the drug insurance program.Marois has appointed Université de Montréal economist Claude Montmarquette to review the future scope of the program.The government thinks it may be more economic to have a fully universal drug insurance plan by taking over employer and group drug plans.A @ The belief is that people with pri- : a te coverage are younger, healthier, and therefore require fewer prescription drugs.If their premiums were added into the public pot.the program would have broader financial resources, easing the pressure on the government to keep increasing premiums to cover mounting drug costs.While community health groups endorse a fully public program, insurers.pharmacists.and the Opposition Liberals are all opposed.The know-it-all health card The government also seems determined to introduce a new health \u2018smart\u2019 card containing essential information about your health and prescription drug use.A pilot project in Rimouski several years ago proved the value of such a card.It allows a medical professional to see a users medical chart quickly essential in medical emergencies and useful in detecting potentially harmful drug interactions.Another pilot project is under way in Laval.But the Bouchard government wanted to go further still.According to Le Devoir, it wanted to establish a new powerful drug and medical services data bank, containing personal and highly confidential information, complete with names, physician diagnoses, and drug consumption patterns.Citizens would have been asked for their permission, but only the very first time; after that, they would have lost any right to refuse to give information.The Access to Information Commission examined the scheme and said it was \u201castonished.\u201d because it went against all the principles of privacy protection applied in the pilot projects.The goal of the pilot projects, the Commission said, was \u201cto encourage, with the consent of the individual, a better circulation of information\u201d in order to improve medical service.The new scheme \u201ccontradicts the guiding principles\u201d of those earlier projects.\u201cThus the Commission vigorously opposes this major change of direction which.it believes.represents a major step backward.\u201d Now.caught in the act by the leak to Le Devoir, the government says it will drop the requirement to have personal information when it draws up its final project proposal.The government, however, is thirsty for knowledge about its citizens because, as Landry said in an interview with the magazine LActualité published last week, smart cards could help save the government \u201cfabulous sums by eliminating useless medical examinations.\u201d Glenn

familiar?Has this been your annual New Year\u2019s resolution that you can\u2019t seem to follow?With wonderful intentions, numerous people, every year, make this personal commitment.They desperately want to succeed and the New Year is such an ideal time as it represents a fresh slate, a new beginning, and a possible hope.I used to plead guilty to this yearly promise, but I broke that mould of thinking about seven years ago when I finally carried it through by living a healthier and more fit lifestyle.Never shall I revert back, as I literally sweated to arrive at the place I am now.Exercise may be a dreaded topic for many, as they\u2019ve tried it repetitively, didn't witness early results and quit.The same can be said for learning to eat sensibly and not indulging in unhealthy large quantities of food.It\u2019s ironic that exercise requires starting and food intake relate to stopping and portioning.But handling these two components sensibly and simultaneously are key Varieties of exercise should develop as part of your life and not just as a sporadic activity.We require it for stronger bones, increased energy level, and for our general productivity.In proper management, it can be integrated into our lifestyle without too much accommodation.That universal complaint of never having sufficient time to exercise is not a consideration as we allot time for the things we LOWER

Greene are destinations.Winter should not excuse you from the outdoors, as polar fleece clothing wraps and protects us against chilling temperatures.Truthfully, my best conversations with friends have occurred during long and vigorous morning walks.Just beware of ice.On the days when danger lurks with slippery conditions, I trade the outdoors for my stationary bicycle.But if you prefer the indoors and you want to acquaint yourself with weight training and aerobic activity, visit the Westmount Y.This place has every program for every taste and age group.To join, you must be a Westmount resident and then you're entitled to try any class you desire.Six guest passes are included, a fitness consultation and a weight room consultation are also part of the package.A Westmount YMCA membership also allows you unlimited access to other YMCAs in the Montreal area and visiting privileges at YMCAs across the country and around the world.When visiting the Y one icy day slightly reminiscent of that notorious ice storm, I was quite impressed by the amount of people who were struggling with the driving and walking but not with the decision as to whether or not to work out.I was there for an interview, but the urge to change and join a class was surfacing.The front desk was alive with people clad in exercise gear waiting to being buzzed in and the phone was ringing non-stop with queries as to what programs are being offered.I met with fitness coordinator Diana Destounis, who has only been with the Westmount Y since last August, but she has been, prior to this position, a fitness instructor.She pointed out that this year the classes have been full.\u201cThe biggest enrollment months are September and January, but this year we exceeded the usual amount of new memberships) she said.The program choice is amazing, and if you had the time, you can be busy exercising all day.There\u2019s Tai Chi, Yoga, Salsa Dance Class, Aquafit, Power training, Spinning (intensive cycling) Pilates (my personal favourite), Interval Training, Karate and the list goes on.If you don\u2019t know where to start and if you want to maximize your exercise time and not suffer from self-inflicted careless injuries, or burn out rapidly, get advice.Even the weight room has trainers circulating and if you're new to lifting weights, have a program planned for you.There are many individuals who work out but have no clue what they are doing.Gyms are fascinating places to watch people performing their exercise routines.The times I've frequented a gym, I've come across people who work out effectively, those who are obsessive (an injury (continued on page 13) MI MC chamber music, jazz and bands * Internationally known Guest Artists * Located at Macdonald Campus McGill University

welcome to the Montreal Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, when they expanded the walls of their tent with a move to the Westmount centre last fall.\u201cSeeing that we are a community center whose mission is to respond to the needs in the community, when the Quakers approached us we were only too happy to welcome them into the Centre Greene family,\u201d Johannson said.After meeting at the Yellow Door since the 1970s, the congregation was looking for a larger facility that would also allow for a First Day room (Sunday School).Friends\u2019 representative Molly Walsh was looking for a meeting room for another organization she is involved with.when she came upon Centre Greene and realized it would be perfect for the Friends.\u201cBesides an adequate room for our meeting and a First Day room, we also have the use of the kitchen which is very nice,\u201d she said.The congregation of 20 people meets each Sunday for a time of silent worship and fellowship.The meetings have traditionally had no prearranged program, sermton, liturgy or outward rituals.À typical weekly meeting starts at around 10:45 a.m.as believers start to arrive.They sit in chairs set up in a circle or a square, (continued on page 15) (continued from page 12) waiting to happen) and then the thers who just make it up as they go long (dangerous).Balance is what its all about and you should enjoy your time working at a gym.Our culture, including all ages, has been embracing the gym scene.To alleviate the difficulties in approaching this new lifestyle change, move with caution so that you don\u2019t become overwhelmed or discouraged.Most importantly, don\u2019t expect instant results.What you eat is another major element, and exercise consistency is crucial.\u201cPeople should focus on sensible eating, regular activity and most of all you must love yourself,\u201d said Diana.\u201cWhen you start working out, go slowly and feel yourself around the gym.Evaluate what you like and then choose your concentration.You should make working out a pleasurable time so that you'll return.\u201d Why do many individuals quit?Queen's Executive Primarily, we tend to equate fitness as a means towards achieving the perfect body.Forget it.You will definitely improve your appearance and you will feel better, but you will not be signed up to model for Shape Magazine, as these are unrealistic goals.Once you learn to accept yourself.perhaps you will expect less and not give up if the results are not in accordance with your visions of the model body.Fitness is all about feeling good and knowing whom you really are.The diet\u2014not dieting\u2014is crucial.Exercise alone cannot cure your unhealthy state.Diet and exercise are a team working together and everything is safe in moderation.Follow the Canada Food Guide and evaluate your intake.It is not a mystery as to what is healthy and what isn't.What has always helped me stay on the healthy eating track.have been descriptive cookbooks that describe fat content, cholesterol, and general ingredients.Invest in a few and you'll see that meals can be appealing even if they are low-fat and healthy.Our bodies are complex machines that require energy from the nutrients in the food we eat.Considering that February has been heart month, it is so timely that this particular book has reached the kitchen shelves.\u2018Heart Healthy Cooking\u2019.edited by Barbara Lederman and Bridget Wilson and sponsored by Becel, is a heart-healthy cookbook that offers quick and simple recipes.For more than 20 years, the Becel Heart Health Information Bureau has been helping Canadians learn about heart health.It brings together over 200 delicious meals with a nutrient analysis for each.What's unique are the four practical chapters at the beginning which cover the basics of heart healthy eating, nutrition, grocery shopping and label reading.All proceeds from this book will be donated to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.This book has been one of myn, l= A my kitchen guides.Other notable books include Bonnie Stern\u2019s \u2018Simply HeartSmart Cooking\u2019, Anne Lindsay's \u2018The LightHearted Cookbook' and \u2018Rose Reisman Brings Home Light Cooking'.These women are well- known for many other books they have dedicated to the art of healthy cooking.Having a positive outlook about health and fitness is one way to combat past negative patterns of living.Westmount residents, you're fortunate, as healthy options surround you.It doesn't hurt to instill these beliefs of health.fitness and personal acceptance to your children so that they learn about a healthy lifestyle early.It may prevent some of those self-image problems we experience as adults.The sun is shining, 1 overate last night so |
