institutions.Lindsay called on three WHA members to share their memories and experiences of growing up, living, working and retiring in LU R315; ROBERT BOURASSA FUND FOR CANCER RESEARCH Help advance

Westmount.Resident Annette Wolff began the evening by recounting the story of the \u2018Wolffs of Argyle Avenue.\u2019 She explained that she was one of six Wolff daughters who grew up in the last house on the west side of the street, next to the Westmount Police and Fire departments.The family moved to 442 Argyle in 1923 when the house was already more than 80 years old.Annette remembers the view from her bedroom window of the apple orchards that were once Murray Hill Park and the boys\u2019 play yard at Argyle School, which is now Selwyn House.Wolff told several anecdotes about how the house was graduated up the steep hill.As a result, the basement was 14 feet deep.She shared how in the winter cars often slid into their front veranda to avoid sliding into students playing in the schoolyard.Life was friendly and informal.\u201cThere was a real sense of community,\u201d she said.The Wolff household was always entertaining interesting people.Historian Doctor Lighthall, Professor of History at McGill University used to tell the girls stories about uncovering skeletons in an Algonquin burial ground on Arlington Lane.\u201cOne time a taxi driver knocked on the door and asked my mother if she could help while he helped a lady down the icy hill by sliding her down on a blanket, and then drive the car down.\u201d After the ordeal, her mother Irine, a journalist, invited them in to warm up with a cup of tea.There were two apple trees in the backyard and every year the firemen would come and help get the apples from the top of the trees.During the Depression years, Wolff explained, the City of Westmount provided work for many Westmount residents including her father, an engineer, who worked on the sewer system.Artist Lilian Trudel later shared her story about how she and Edythe Germain co-founded extended that original spirit of community by starting Arts Westmount in 1982.After a successful series of Art in the Park events that started in the late 1970s, the two formed a committee of local artists, musicians, poets, writers and theatre people with a grant from the City of Westmount.For ten years Arts Westmount held art exhibitions in Westmount Park and in Victoria Hall, produced plays in English and French, poetry readings, and performances by the Operatic Society.A very special part of the event was the children\u2019s program, which included finger painting behind the library and puppet shows and other artistic endeavours.In 1983 the program was expanded to include book and architecture displays.Notable Westmount artists who participated included Jane des Jardins, Anne McCall, and Cathy Bates.Grandes Ballets ballerina Sheila Laurence participated with dance and Doreen Lindsay exhibited her photographs.Sponsors included past mayor May Cutler, then owner of Tundra books.Events that highlighted the uniqueness of Westmount were also part of the festivities throughout the years.At its peak a guided bus tour of Westmount under the direction of John Udy was a regular event.An International Festival of food and entertainment was held one year under the direction of Holly Higgins Jones, the daughter of the director of the Betty Crocker Kitchens.As with too many programs, Arts Westmount was cancelled in 1989 after many of the founding members had moved away and it new blood could not be found.The lecture\u2019s audience of 35 livened up with an animated presentation about the evolution of bathrooms and kitchens in Westmount by real estate appraiser and Examiner columnist Andy Dodge.\u201cWhen people buy houses today,\u201d he said, \u201cthey put thousands of dollars into those two rooms alone.\u201d In the \"20s and '30s however, kitchens were relegated to the basement, perhaps in part because of the possibility of flooding from the refrigerators.Every week blocks of ice would be delivered on horse-drawn ice carts.The house owner would have to take the ice and get it to the kitchen on a pan that they would put at the bottom of the fridge.Throughout the week the ice would keep food cool, but would melt onto the pan, leaving that possibility for flooding.Dodge has seen houses that still have original kitchens in the baseme including one on Céte St.Antoine Ro Westmount\u2019s oldest street.Doctor Wilder Penfield\u2019s home also had a kitchen in the basement and a dumbwaiter that took the cooked meals upstairs to the dining room.The dishes would later be washed, however, in the pantry located on the main floor.Dodge\u2019s description of early bathrooms led to an animated interactive discussion about the origins of Westmount bathrooms, including toilet tanks made of wood that tended to crack, original city sewers built of bricks in 1892, and chain-pull toilets.Today, Dodge is seeing Westmount residents spending amazing amounts of money on bathrooms\u2014including \u2018his and hers\u2019 bathrooms in the master bedrooms, large bathrooms with a view of the mountain and increasingly ornate décors.The Westmount Historical Association\u2019s spring lecture series continues next month with \u2018The Making of Westmount From 1870 to 1929\u2019, with guest speaker Stephen Bryce.This will take place on Thursday, April 18 at 7 p.m.in the Westmount Room of the Westmount Public Library, 4574 Sherbrooke.Free admission for WHA members, $5 for non-members at the door.For more

everal homeowners on The Boulevard are holding Westmount officials partly responsible for failing to control a neighbour's demolition and building project they say has deprived them of a view of the city below, as well as light and privacy.They also believe the project will ultimately have a serious negative impact on their property values and quality of life.From the residents\u2019 back yards, the ize of the massive, block-like structure 3283 Cedar Avenue leaves the impression of the hull of a large yacht that has been pulled up and docked.The house, almost institutional in its appearance, is said to have a nine-car underground garage.Construction has ceased for the time being under order from the borough, which revoked both the partial demolition permit and building permit on March 4.The owner of the mountain-side lot completely demolished a home that is said to have been classified by Westmount as Category One, requiring protection and preservation, not demolition.In its place, the frame of the build- ing\u2014occupying almost all of the property in direct proximity to four homes on The Boulevard and extending the length of their back yards\u2014has gone up, rising more than two stories and blotting out both views and light for these Boulevard residents, even before the addition of a contemplated six-foot roof structure.According to some of the affected residents, the Cedar Avenue owner obtained permits from Westmount to carry out the work, including partial demolition of the former house as well as the addition of two extensions at either end.They say they were told repeatedly that it was all in complete accordance with Westmount\u2019s bylaws.Aware of the importance Westmount has always placed on preserving its architectural heritage and the strict- ness of its building bylaws, neighbours say they were horrified to see the structure unfold in mid-January.\u201cHow did it ever get through the Architecture and Planning Commission?\u201d asked Howard Hoppenheim, one of the affected residents.\u201cHow did it ever get through the bureaucracy before that at City Hall?The required city council reviews and approvals were never obtained.Setbacks and roof irregularities suggest other issues have been discovered.\u201d According to Hoppenheim, the house formerly on the property was supposed to be protected and preserved.\u201cWhen you want to get a window replaced in Westmount, you've got to go through approvals to get that done and the regulations are very strict,\u201d said Hoppenheim.\u201cYou can\u2019t change a roof from slate to shingles and certain garages have to remain intact.Well, in this particular case, the requirement and spirit of the bylaws appear to have been just ignored\u2014both from the perspective of preservation of important architecture as well as ensuring appropriate renovation and expansion to Howard Hoppenheim shows the extent to which Pat Sheppard's view has been obliterated existing properties.\u201d At the home of Pat Sheppard, one of Hoppenheim\u2019s neighbours, a pristine view she used to have of the waterfront and beyond has been completely replaced by the sight of a huge wall.Sheppard said that at no time was she told the degree to which the project would have a negative impact on her home\u2014in fact she said she was never advised on any negative impact.\u201cI don't think anybody here on The Boulevard realized that this is where it was all going to end up,\u201d she said.\u201cSuch a grave lack of respect for the rights of surrounding property owners is not supposed to happen in Westmount.It was in the middle of January, during some of the month\u2019s colder weather, when the second floor went up in the span of approximately a week, with a large crew working every day.It was at this point that we began to see the full magnitude of what this was project going to be.\u201d According to Hoppenheim, Westmount could have been much more sensitive to residents.\u201cThe City had an obligation to protect the rights of not just the applicant Cedar resident, but equally so its other citizens adversely affected, not to mention the obligation to uphold the consistency, substance and integrity of its own bylaws,\u201d he said.Borough Director Bruce St.Louis refused to comment at length on the issue, as the borough may be sued by both sides in the dispute.\u201cAt this point, because we have been served with a potential legal action by the neighbours on The Boulevard, and we're subsequently facing a second legal action on the part of the owner of the property on Cedar, there\u2019s not a whole lot of information I can give at this point in time because either way I have to be careful not to prejudice the City\u2019s case,\u201d said St.Louis.\u201cAll I can say is that at the outset a permit was issue by the City.The process was followed by the book and went to the proper committees internally and a valid building permit was issued for the work that was started.However, other complications have come along, to the point that the building permit has been revoked.Falling light narrowly misses greenhouse visitors Martin C.Barry ater leaking through the glass roof of Westmount\u2019s Flower Conservatory is believed to have been a factor in causing a light fixture to come loose and crash to the floor, narrowly missing several people.The incident occurred last Wednesday around 5 p.m., a day after the opening of Westimount\u2019s annual Spring Flower Show.Some visitors to the Conservatory are said to have been coven EF MEDICALE CENTER Located

Conservatory admiring the spring flowers, wet snow was accumulating on the glass roof and showers of water were streaming in from several points in the greenhouse.The light fixture \u201cwas probably well- secured into place, but there may have been an infiltration of water into it, and with the heat that might have caused it to crack,\u201d a greenhouse employee said ag oUniversity of Montréal trained specialist RS Children's Ear Tabes/Audiology Testing * Appointments available in 1 week di GASTROENTEROLOGY/INTERNAL MEDIC \u2018*Colonoscopy screening/reflux disease treatments this week.She suggested that the advanced age of the light fixtures in the Conservatory may have also been a contributing factor.The leakage, she said, could probably be blamed on the fact that the glass panes at the greenhouse become loose and need to be resealed once a year, although she added that the Conservatory is overdue for a major overhaul.\u201cThe windows are anchored on their sides, and with the

normal.In this case, the spaces were causing the leaking.\u201d Even though she said regular maintenance usually takes care of the problem, \u201cI think it\u2019s also the age of the greenhouse,\u201d she added.\u201cThe city has been talking a lot of renovating the Conservatory, because the wood is starting to separate.\u201d It\u2019s \u201ca little of both\u201d factors that

www.westmountexaminer.com - Thursday, April 4, 2002 Mark London n the first article in this series, | fica how our system of Architectural Design Review helps maintain Westmount's distinct character as well as our property values that go along with it.Today, I'll give you a step-by-step guide as to how to use Westmount's design guidelines to plan your project.For about a century, every building permit application in Westmount that affects a building\u2019s exterior has been reviewed by the Westmount Planning Advisory Committee or WPAC, formerly called the Architectural and Planning Commission.Until a decade ago, the former Commission didn't have any written guidelines.If a proposal was considered unacceptable the owner simply received a letter with the word \u2018refused\u2019, leading to much head- scratching.In order to help citizens better understand the then-unwritten criteria used to evaluate projects, Westmount Council asked the Commission to write down and publish these guidelines, and to clearly explain in its minutes the problems that might have led to a proposal\u2019s deferral or refusal.We are now working with a third generation of published guidelines, adopted in 2001.The current guidelines include a series of pamphlets dealing with the general approach and the specific parts of a building.Also, there are maps and descriptions of Westmount\u2019s 39 Character Areas, groups of streets sharing similar design features.So before you even start to put pencil to paper, you should pick up a copy of the relevant pamphlets at the counter at the lower level of Westmount\u2019s Borough Hall or you can find them on Westmount\u2019s web site at www.west- mount.org.You can also consult the set hanging on the wall just in front of the counter or the one available at the reference desk of the library.Let me run through what they are and which ones you need.The architectural \u2018look\u2019 of # CN Mechanic Esthetic Dental Services- General Dentist YOU DESERVE TO LOOK AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF Winchester Avenue First of all, everyone should get the pamphlet called Obtaining a Building Permit, which explains when a permit is needed and how to go about getting one.If you are planning a new building, an addition, or any renovations that affect the exterior of building (yes, even changing windows or putting up a new fence), you should also get pamphlet 1, General Guidelines, which explains in more detail than this article how the whole system works and the basic criteria that apply to all projects.Then, you should get the pamphlets The

changing, say pamphlet 4: Windows and Doors or pamphlet 6: Fences, Decks and Other Landscaping.Finally, you should consult the pamphlet on the Character Area in which your property is located.You need at least two key pieces of information: the rating of your building, and whether it is part of an ensemble.The design guidelines aim to preserve the present character of the more significant buildings in Westmount while leaving more flexibility with respect to the relatively few buildings whose character is less remarkable.So in 1992, in preparing the present set of guidelines, cv building in Westmount was evaluate either as: - Category I - Important, the 990 most significant buildings in Westmount including 47 category 1* considered exceptional; - Category II - Significant, the buildings of notable design quality that make up the fabric of most Westmount neighbourhoods; and - Category III - Neutral, buildings whose design quality is not remarkable.Many of the guidelines are tied in directly to the category of the building, there being a greater requirement to maintain the existing elements that contribute to the design of the building (character-defining features) for the category II and especially the category I buildings.(continued on page 13) PIANO) SALE! » Asphalt * Uni-Stone Les Pavages Spinelli inc.Serving Westmount for over 8 years 7 * Cement Work * General Work

INNOWLSIM FHL Notes from an elitist enclave ell, there you have it.After decades of WAV pecuiation and suspicion, the truth is finally out: Westmount is an elitist enclave where outsiders are neither welcome nor tolerated.This rather unsavoury fact has been reported ad nauseum in the mainstream media\u2014in both official languages, no less\u2014 over the past two weeks.The resulting image is more of a caricature based on negative stereotypes rather than truth, and Westmounters have a considerable task ahead of them if they want to dispel any of these misconceptions.This landslide of bad press\u2014which was bound to come sooner or later, given the present political climate\u2014began innocently enough when borough president Karin Marks requested funding from the megacity to help finance the hiring of a security guard for the Westmount Public Library.Seeing as the library\u2019s membership has increased dramatically since Jan.1 and the sudden appearance of new members has raised questions of security, this was a perfectly logical and legitimate request\u2014but the reaction it evoked was not.It was as if everyone was just waiting to pounce on Westmount because of its reputation as an exclusive community where outsiders are treated with such trepidation that their arrival prompts a call for increased security.Whether or not the library desperately needs guards to keep the crowds under control is a matter of opinion, of course, as some people are desperately uncomfortable with the current influx of non-residents, while others don\u2019t seem to notice much change at all.Having dropped by the library at different times over the past three months and witnessed nothing out of the ordinary, I tend to side with the latter camp.Still, the entire issue was badly handled from the beginning.In requesting increased security, Ms.Marks was doing her job, which is to look after the interests of her taxpaying constituents.On the other hand, had Westmounters not made public their concerns over outsiders coming into their library and dog runs in the first place\u2014thus advertis- Ÿ \u2014-\u2014 ing the merits of these facilities\u2014the issue of library security need never have been raised.TAKING A BITE OUT OF EDUCATION ver the past three years, We had to wait until the Youth almost all of Quebec's Summit, a highly publicized event in universities have appeared 1999, for the government to begin to before the Parliamentary reinvest in education.In 2003-2004, Committee on Education for universities will be receiving the periods varying from one to two same amount of funding as in 1994- hours.Only one, Concordia 1995.Imagine for a moment that you 2 University, has yet to be heard, have the same salary as ten years ago.+ and it will appear before the Wayne Larsen and Finance Minister would be the architects of this devastation of our universities.To put it another way, it is hard to believe that these promoters of Quebec\u2019s independence and of the creation of a new country would shamelessly attack the one institution that would be in the best position to support the new country\u2019s future by Jacques Chagnon score OS After a loss of 30 per cent of your = committee on April 9.= All of this amounts to nearly 40 3 hours of hearings, presentations and 5 questions.This is an exercise that = requires a lot of preparation because E each university has its own unique £ characteristics.However, there is one £ thing that unites them: they are all s under-funded compared to their £ Canadian counterparts, not to men- 8 tion their American counterparts.To talk of under-funding is a : euphemism.In fact, from 1995 to 2000, co mine: Quebec\u2019s universities lost 28 per cent of their funding on a recurring basis.This translates into the loss of about 1,000 faculty positions and many management jobs.The loss of 1,000 professors is about the equivalent of the complete disappearance of the Université du Québec à Montréal.This is the heritage that the current government is leaving us.It is hard to believe that a government which had two professors emeritus (Parizeau and Landry) as Premier training its brightest people.The PQ policy on university financing has more in common with China\u2019s Cultural Revolution than with Quebec's Quiet Revolution.This could almost be qualified as an act of savagery.The pretext given was that Quebec had a deficit.Although this is true, it is also true that we reduced it in an extremely abrupt manner, at the same time that we received, as you will remember, a considerable and unexpected increase in transfer payments ($1.4 billion).income along the way, you would be feeling poor and with good reason.We can reasonably say that when inflation is factored in, the universities\u2019 loss of purchasing power would be in the order of 15 to 20 per cent when compared to 1994-1995.In Ontario, which faced an $11 bill) lion deficit, funding for universities was also reduced for several years, but this situation was rectified much more quickly.For instance, in 1994- (continued on page 10) 3 3 : « A Jive Sosinensl y = GC AAR] Publisher :

OPTIMISM AT CITY HALL: \u201cMayor Peter Trent is more convinced than ever that Westmount can reverse Quebec\u2019s forced municipal mergers.Addressing city council Monday night, Trent\u2019s mood was upbeat as he § oc plans by the City, without ing into detail, for a renewed campaign to convince Montreal's suburbs that the island-wide megacity is far from a done deal.\u2018We are not fighting against huge odds; we do indeed have a chance of reversing this,\u201d said Trent.Emphasizing that there is a need to overcome a defeatist attitude some seem to take towards the megacity, Trent added: \u2018We have to change the image of palliative care to one of actually getting rid of our disease.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago April 2, 1987: ELECTORAL MAP CHANGES: \u201cWestmount and Outremont will not be unified in electoral matrimony after all.New proposals for riding boundaries released last week by Quebec\u2019s federal electoral boundaries commissioner François Chevalier show Westmount reunited with St.Henri in a riding which swallows the entire downtown past Park avenue to St.Laurent boulevard.\u2018In view of the unanimity shown, (the commission) has decided to reunite the area known as Saint Henri with the municipality of Westmount,\u2019 the commission said in releasing the proposals.The incumbent MP for St.Henri-Westmount, Donald Johnston, told The Examiner Tuesday night he\u2019s \u2018very happy we've been able to keep it intact, especially the St.Henri section.\u201d Thirty Years Ago March 30, 1972: LESS STUDENTS: \u201cDeclining enroliment at St.Léon de Westmount elementary school has called the future of the French-speaking, Roman Catholic school into question.Paul Robidoux, director of the Montreal Catholic School Commission\u2019s region one in which the school is located, reported that enrollment has been dropping 10 to 15 percent every year and that next September only 237 French-speaking pupils were expected to enroll.\u201d Forty Years Ago March 30, 1962: PIGEONS SHOT: \u201cWestmount Police have denied reports that chips were knocked off a local building during a recent effort at getting rid of some pigeons.\u2018We did not hit any buildings,\u201d said Inspector Andrew Lowson, \u2018but we didn\u2019t get any pigeons, either.\u201d According to the inspector, the force uses many methods to get rid of the feathery menace.Reports show everything from cages to .22 rifles to various other equipment.The shooting on this particular jaunt began at 6:15 a.m.when the policemen took aim at a flock of pigeons on an office building at Elm avenue and Sherbrooke street west.\u201d The flowers that bloom in spring, tra-la\u2019 ~ George Bowser Twice in the past | have decided on the spur of the moment to help out in the garden by doing some weeding, and on both occasions | have pulled up several of my wife's carefully-nurtured shrubs, mistaking them for weeds.It\u2019s odd, because I thought gardening would come naturally to me.My father always said I was a blooming idiot.Even an amateur can have some unexpected successes.We returned from one vacation to find that the pumpkin seeds, thrown into the composter the previous Halloween, had produced a creeping, prickly vine that almost buried the deck.And who has- n\u2019t, in their student days, waited for an avocado pit to produce a free avocado?Who hasn't tripped on their garden steps and made a face plant?Who hasn't stopped to smell the roses, I not much of a gardener.only to find they've been led down the garden path?A relative of ours was always proud of the vegetable garden in her back yard.In one special area, everything seemed especially lush and fruitful.It was the spot directly above the septic tank, of course.That somehow takes all the joy out of a garden- fresh tomato sandwich.Some people enjoy the tranquility of a Japanese garden.For a little excitement, you can always add a few punk rocks.I enjoy flowers.The colours, the smells, the way they brighten up the interior and the exterior of a house.The way the wife always greets a gift of flowers with the look that says, \u201cWhat have you done this time?\u201d She knows, as the late Milton Berle knew, that if a man brings home flowers for no reason, there's a reason.I am always amused by the flowery clock that lies in front of Victoria Hall, the founder of our city.A gentle reminder that life is short, and sooner or later we\u2019ll all be pushing up daisies.While we\u2019re on the subject of roses, my sister tells me that a certain American first lady was delighted to know that a certain rose had been named for her, until she read the description of the plant's characteristics.This particular rose, it was said, was \u201cno good up against a wall, but pretty good in a soft bed.\u201d Flowers are nature's way of encouraging the species to propagate.Any species.The rabbits at the Westmount spring flower show certainly got the message.The male of the species had only one thing on his mind, and it wasn\u2019t to stop and smell the roses.The Westmount bunny is a playboy.It\u2019s always bothered me that \u2018dandelion\u2019 is a French word - dent de lion - but the French call it something else.\u2018Pissenlit\u2019.I don\u2019t see that as an improvement.One of my favorite songs used to be \u2018An English Country Garden\u2019, and 1 particularly enjoyed a parody version.The only line I can recall now, is: \u201cI see the pigeon droppings on the wall / and then I watch them slowly / harden.\u201d Oh well, they say you can take a horticulture, but you can\u2019t make her think.George Bowser is one half of the musical comedy duo Bowser & Blue.Frigon Affair is this week's hot potato Glenn Wanamaker o, Groupaction Marketing never ordered a private investigation into the life of Gaétan Frigon, the head of Loto-Quebec.That's what company President Jean Brault said in full-page newspaper ads.The Quebec Liberal Party \u201cnever ordered, mandated, or paid [for] any report on Mr.Frigon.\u201d That's what Leader Jean Charest said.But somebody did.And M.Frigon, a public servant, deserves to know who and why.The Quebec Liberal Party knew a report on Frigon had been compiled by a private detective because Charest has admitted it.Two party officials, Charest\u2019s chief of staff Ronald Poupart and party organizer Pierre Bibeau, met with the private detective to discuss it.Neither Bibeau nor Poupart are talking.And all Charest has said is that \u201cthere is someone who claimed to have information and who transmitted it to [people in our party] who did- n\u2019t find it credible.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s like with journalists - people claim from time to time to have information to give you.This is the same thing.When we receive information, we verify it.We verified it and it wasn\u2019t credible.\u201d In a brief statement issued after getting a letter from Frigon\u2019s lawyer demanding they turn over whatever information they have, Bibeau and Poupart declared none of the information they were given relates to Frigon\u2019s private life.Wisely, they have turned over the documents.The Liberals asked last week in the National Assembly that the government set up an inquiry to investigate.That\u2019s right - the Liberals think they themselves should be investigated.An appropriate first step might be for Bibeau and Poupart to publicly step forward and say who they met, when, why, who paid for the information, who ordered it, and why they thought the whole escapade was a smart idea.If, as reported, the detective himself initiated it and that his handiwork just fell into Liberal hands, then why not say so.Of course, the Liberal political gumshoes believe that if the Landry government accepts to set up an inquiry into the Frigon Affair, it could hardly continue to reject calls for an inquiry into the lobbyists\u2019 affair and other dubious relationships with \u201cfriends of the régime\u201d.There are other questions to be clarified about Groupaction, a marketing firm already caught up in the controversy over billing the federal government three times to prepare one report three different ways.But what concerns us most here is political behaviour.Whether it\u2019s the PQ cuddling up with its friends or the Liberals dabbling in clumsy undercover operations, it\u2019s unacceptable.Let there be no general election until we can sort out if either of these two parties deserves to be elected.Meanwhile, it\u2019s Jean Charest\u2019s responsibility to demonstrate to voters his party is as clean as a whistle.If he can\u2019t, then let some heads roll, while we wait for Frigon's possible court action to take care of the rest.Sovereignty Studies One can sympathize with Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-Pierre Charbonneau.Why force yourself to plow through dozens of updated studies on sovercignty issues when no one cares?Because he had to, Charbonneau tabled the updated reports of 48 of the 79 studies carried out originally for the Bélanger-Campeau Commission in 1991-92.But with remarkable honesty, Charbonneau said he hadn't read any of them.The great pedagogue, Bernard Landry, surely was not amused.Landry repudiates Trudel As Alliance Quebec President Brent Tyler said, \u201che didn\u2019t say anything controversial, but he didn\u2019t say anything objectionable either.\u201d Premier Bernard Landry really didn\u2019t say a whole lot in his luncheon address last week to members of the Quebec Community Groups Network, an umbrella group for about 20 English-speaking organizations.Speaking without notes, he spoke broadly about the richness of Quebec\u2019s linguistic mix, saying that what Quebecers have achieved linguistically is a \u201cgreat accomplishment\u201d.\u201cThat\u2019s why Quebec society, economically and culturally speaking, is so fascinating,\u201d he said.But he did make one commitment when he was asked about access to English-lan- guage health services.All it takes to reconcile the right to access to services in English and the: right of francophones to work in French is a \u201clittle good sense,\u201d he said.In Montreal, with so many bilingual health professionals, there should be no problem, he said.\u201cElsewhere, let\u2019s use our heads.\u201cIn English Canada, regarding French, they say \u2018where numbers warrant\u2019.That doesn\u2019t apply in Quebec.Here, one is enough, and it will continue like that.\u201d The next day, Health Minister Francois Legault confirmed he does not intend to revise current practices as set down in regional access plans developed by the community.Those two statements amount to a repudiation of Legault\u2019s predecessor, Rémy Trudel, whose statements about scrapping the plans led to the resignation en masse of the minister\u2019s advisory committee on access.can be at Glenn Wanamaker reached by e-mail wanamakergwhotmail.com z obed - 7007 \u2018t \\udy

WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - www.westmountexaminer.com - Thursday, April 4, 2002 Reader's Digest building holds fond memories Marilynn Vanderstay urray Lewis, editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest, paid a nostalgic visit to Westmount this week as part of his seven-city tour to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the magazine's Canadian edition.Now moved to offices downtown, Reader\u2019s Digest was a prominent fixture in Westmount for more than 40 years, located across from Westmount High School at Redfern Avenue and Ste.Catherine Street.WHS graduates still use the site as the landmark when talking about the school, and many remember the bomb in the mailbox outside during the FLQ crisis.Even with a new | ger and tenants, the building is still nown affectionately as the Reader\u2019s Digest Building.Fifty-five years ago the company started the Canadian version of the magazine that today is read by over 9 million Canadians each month, at its location on Beaver Hall Hill.In the mid- 1950s the business was moved into the newly-built building on Redfern Avenue, and a second building on Metcalfe Avenue, now the Vanguard School, was also developed.By 1998, however, it was realized that the building was growing old and desperately needed some serious refurbishing.The decision was made to move the magazine to the more central and modern location in the former Lavalin building at Peel Street and René Lévesque Boulevard.It was with mixed emotions, however, that the staff moved away from Westmount.\u201cBesides the employees who had moved to Westmount over the years to be closer to work\u2014and still do in fact live in [TAXI ATLAS 485-8585 485-4888 Airport reservations 100% Guaranteed or your trip is free*!!! Fast, clean, efficient and personalized service (*Certain restrictions apply) Westmount\u2014most of us have noticed a big difference in our Reader's Digest community since we left the Westmount office,\u201d said Lewis.\u201cMost notable is the fact that the new building has eight elevators\u2014six more than the Redfern building.Employees who used to ride up and down daily with co-workers can go for weeks or even months without seeing one another.In that way they miss the Redfern location, and each other.\u201d The move has affected Lewis personally, too.Since he took the position of editor-in-chief four years ago this week, he often worked on the tedious job of creating the headline by taking a walk through the neighbourhood.While enjoying the quiet ambience and peacefulness of the Westmount community, he was able to free up his mind to put together just the right words to highlight the monthly issue.And although he still takes that walk in the new neighbourhood, it just isn't Westmount.\u201cI find myself heading past Redfern in my car on my way downtown from Lachine,\u201d he says.\u201cIt\u2019s the route I know best.\u201d Paolo Cusan \"7 Notary | Estate, Trust & Tax Planning Business Law 630, Rene-Levesque Boul.W.Suite 1830, Montreal Tel: (514) 705-4063 40335989 40203280 me Antiquités Phy De il lis Friedman and Acc®sorie Estate SC Purc as HON.LUCIENNE ROBILLARD, P.C., MP.WESTMOUNT - VILLE-MARIE President of the Treasury Board 2360 Notre-Dame West, Suite 300 Telephone (514) 283-2013 e-mail: robilll@parl.ge.ca ALT PALACE Exolic Indian Cuisine Now offering delivery right Lo your door 933-7000 200 1 St-Catherine St.West RVR AES] Montreal, Quebec H3J IN4 | Kathryn Osborne N COINTERIEUT DESIGNER FABRICS AT DISCOUNT PRICES WAVERLY 7,000 Yards in Stock * Draperies, upholstery, slipcovers, bedspreads, & duvet-covers made to measure, co-ordinating fabric & wall paper 1357 GREENE AVE.2nd FL.TEL 931-1357 MONDAY-FRIDAY 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM SATURDAY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Sabre 40324297 DOWNTOWN LOFT OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 2-4 220 PINE AVE.W., #302/326 $398,000 THIS WEEK'S FEATURE PRESENTATIONS 441 ARGYLE Renovated S/D duplex in impeccable condition.LOWER: 2+1 bdrms, 2 bathrooms, finished basement, lots of woodwork, hardwood floors, 3 car parking, private garden.UPPER: Also renovated, new kitchen, 241 bedrooms, rented at $1,950 unheated.One of a kind.Could easily be reconverted into cottage.MOVE IN CONDITION.$649,000 Ty {+ 1900 sq.ft.of sunlit living space in converted D'Arcy McGee building.11\u2019 - 12\u2019 ceilings, 2 luxury baths, fireplace, 1 or 2 bdr, southern and eastern views.RON BENVENISTE ESTI JEDEIKIN 933-6781 Re/Max Westmount Inc, Brokers CTT a 444 PRINCE ALBERT oc © 4 = >= N À = à oN = an == Ÿ en 3 i = == 3 3 A es a ma Fr Q 40338218 Affiliated Real Estate Agent RE/MAX Westmount Inc.Independently owned and operated Offe: 933-6781 cos : 489-3472 a TT Magnificent 3 storey S/D renovated home close to Victoria Village.Fabulous stained glass, mouldings & woodwork, Hardwood floors, finished basement, A/C, wood- burning fireplace, 3 bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, private garden and 2-car parking.Built by famous architect: Robert Findlay.ONE OF A KIND $859,000 Showings by appointment only!

however, it usually occurs in people over 45 years old.Oral cancer can be serious and even deadly, and since all the causes are not known, it is impossible to eliminate them all.However, known risk factors include smoking, use of alcohol, exposure to the sun and heredity.If you use any product which contains tobacco, like cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco (snuff), your risk of developing oral cancer is significantly increased.It is especially dangerous to combine smoking and alcohol.Avoiding smoking and alcohol (especially together) will reduce your risk.LE GROUPE Couture Wiseman Lorne A.Wiseman 8.sc.0.0.5.bip.Pério, EA.C.D.PERIODONTIST AND IMPLANT SPECIALIST 40338214 2222 boul, René Lévesque Ouest, suite 200, Montréal Qc.H3H IR6 (514) 937-3535 established since 1962 in dentistry - to help you achieve your perfect smile Excellence Es Anaesthetic-free laser dentistry DR.CHARLES A CASEY DR.PATRICK CASEY « Bleaching « Preventive Family Practice « Children's Dentistry * Implants « Orthodontics « Cosmetics * Root Canal Treatment * Soft Tissue Management Your smile is KVEYR-T4IT4 our pride « Crown and Bridge cs 4695 Sherbrooke W.( Corner Lansdowne) BA HENRY CHOLEWCKI DENTAL LABORATORY LTD.Certified Implant Laboratory Grown & Bridge, Vencer Facings Implant supported overdentures Tel: 937-5344 Fax: 937-8640 e-mail: choldenlab@qc.albn.com F984 Sherbrooke IN Iestmount HAIZ 156 40338220 Taking a bite out of education (continued from page 6) 1995, Ontario gave $1.81 billion to its universities whereas in 1999-2000, it gave $2.1 billion.This represents an increase of about 10 per cent (and don\u2019t forget that personal income taxes were also reduced by more than 30 per cent over that period).Ontario also balanced its books two years earlier than Quebec.\u201cSo what\u201d, you may ask?Well, 1 should also mention that Ontario de-indexed tuition fees, which has widened the revenue gap between Quebec and Ontario universities.When they appeared before the pargy liamentary committee, almost all of*# the universities admitted that despite the promises made at the Youth Summit, none of them has had their operating costs completely funded.And they are still waiting to receive funding to cover the increase in energy costs.Hydro-Québec is in the process of canceling its rates for bi-energy, and it is estimated that the burden of this change on the public sector - education and health sectors combined - will be another $100 million for the coming year.Guess who will be paying for this one?You, of course.The under-funding of our universities attacks the very core of our society as its poison slowly seeps unseen.It will take another 10 to 15 years to really be able to understand the impact of this under-funding on our youth and their training programs.Unfortunately, it will then be too late for this generation and it will be more and more difficult for our institutions to regain their credibility.Contrary to the health sector where pictures of overflowing emergency rooms quickly make headlines, the deterioration of teaching and studying conditions in our universities is odourless and colourless.Nevertheless, the poison is toxic, if not fatal.By not investing in our universities today, the government is guaranteeing that we will not be able to fund the future cost of our health care system, which can only continue to rise.To govern is to anticipate and to have foresight.Our government has done just the opposite.Jacques Chagnon is the Liberal MNA for Westmount-St.Louis.WE deliver YOUR Flyers Call 484-5610 How's the market?Who said what?Keep up with the weekly discussions at David and Diana Nicholson\u2019s Wednesday Night Salons www.Wednesday-Night.com a OO mé 3 ee m ve © ® OX om Spring Rites & Duvet Duchess Debacles Bridget Blackader et\u2019s be clear about this.Mum oer to me that only two cats were coming to live with us.| think she can\u2019t count.Because, you see, every darn time I turn my head or open my eyes, there\u2019s a cat.I scrunch up the duvet for a morning nap ?A cat explodes from invisibility I plump the pillows for a siesta ?A cat erupts with hisses and claws.I settle on the sofa for a snooze, and cats streak overhead on their way from mid-stairs to the window seat !

quietly settling in to its new home.The residence relocated from its downtown home last Nov.1 when director Pascal Alatorre and his staff moved into the former home of Reddy Memorial Hospital on Tupper Street with 300 residents in tow.The building is still undergoing renovations with an official opening expected sometime in the next month to six weeks.\u201cIt has gone very well, especially

area from abroad.They live at the residence anywhere from one to three weeks, during which time they become familiar with the city and build a network of contacts.Services offered include a first home for new arrivals, complete with meals, beds, counseling, information sessions and support services.At the moment there are 120 people living at the residence.Initially, the residence was supposed to have a capacity of 300 beds, but after some discussion with the Montreal Regional Health Board, the size was increased.The residence now occupies two additional floors and its living capacity has increased to 500 beds.Alatorre said the difference between the Reddy facility and the downtown YMCA is like day and night.\u201cThere is no comparison\u2014at the Reddy there is a lot more comfort for the families,\u201d said Alatorre.\u201cEach room has a bathroom, there is a large fully staffed cafeteria and a brand new kitchen area.\u201d He added that the staff has also happy with the new facility.The transition to the Westmount area has also been seamless.Among the issues that came up during an information meeting at Centre Greene last May was the potential parking problems the residence may cause, but borough president Karin Marks says parking has been a non-issue and there haven't been any complaints about the residence.The residence employs between 10 and 15 full-time staff members, and parking hasn\u2019t been a problem since the Reddy is also easily accessible by bus and is a stone\u2019s throw from Atwater metro.\u201cWe knew we wouldn\u2019t have any problems with parking because our clientele don\u2019t have cars, they usually only come with their bags by metro or by taxi,\u201d said Alatorre.\u201cWe just finished the renovations and we are currently decorating and our official opening will occur sometime in the next month or so,\u201d Alatorre added.\u201cWe are very happy with the move thus far.\u201d 1264, Beaumont, TMR.(Place l'Acadie

with her peers.Lia is in a group home where she has made significant progress and has benefited from the structure of the program.Sometimes she can be moody, belligerent or speaks loudly and forgets to listen, but is able to use the skills she has learned from the professionals to correct the situation.Insightful for her young age, Lia is aware of the challenges of raising a teenager.Thus, she would like to be integrated slowly into a family (two weekends a month) developing a trusting relationship to establish the stability she needs as she struggles with renewed feelings of rejection by her own family.In order to meet her cultural and developmental needs a Black family would be ideal.For more information please contact Batshaw Homes for children at (514) 932-7161 local 338 or drop in

other thing to check for on the Character Area map is whether your house is part of an ensemble, that is several houses built at the same time as part of an overall composition.Sometimes, owners don\u2019t notice that theirs is one of several identical houses, until it is pointed out.The guidelines generally require that all buildings in an ensemble be treated in a similar way, irrespective of its category.The main thrust of the guidelines is to preserve the character-defining features of existing buildings.It is better maintain original features such as windows, doors and roofs, repairing them as necessary.If replacement becomes necessary, these features should generally be replaced to match the original (for example, replacement windows should be identical to the originals).Additions or other changes should be located and designed so they do not change the character-defining features of a building.If you are planning a new building or an addition visible from the street, , you should also take home a copy of the Character Area pamphlet.It, describes in detail the main design features of each area as well as of specific streets.New projects should harmonize with those features.If you or your architect plan your project with respect to the design guidelines, clarifying any questions with staff at the counter at Borough Hall, chances are that your project will not only be quickly approved but will truly enhance the unique design qualities that contribute so much to making Westmount the special place that it is.For more information, visit Westmount,s

from page 1) \u201cOur choice was to have residents and to try and have them from across the board so that this truly was as representative of our community as it could be,\u201d she said.As many as 60 Westmounters from local groups and organizations will be attending the round-table discussion.Four members of the borough's staff have been working full-time over the past few weeks organizing the all-day event to be held at Victoria Hall.A summary of the day\u2019s discussions will be integrated into a master report of all 27 borough summits and submitted for the megacity summit to be held from June 4 to 6.In order to allow a greater number of Westmounters\u2014besides those attending the summit\u2014to make their ideas known, Marks released the list of categorized topics to be discussed.She hopes as many Westmounters as possible will read them and submit ideas by fax and e-mail before April 10.The feedback will be handed over to groups at the summit to be discussed there.The following nine animated workshops will be held: economic development, social and community development, sustainable development and the environment, partnership and democratic living, housing, public and munic- ë security, sports, recreation and culture, infrastructure and public works, and transport and urban planning.Fourteen \u2018conditions\u2019 have also been established as guidelines to be used at the summit.They are: demographic considerations, economic vitality; social climate, support and community solidarity, commitment towards sustainable development, gateway on the metropolis and the world, cooperation between all parties, civic and democratic commitment, quality of and access to housing, public and municipal security, culture, sports and leisure, infrastructure and urban upkeep, clarity in planning, and delivery of services.Marks admitted that the method the borough is being forced to comply with is probably not ideal.\u201cFor that I can only say I wish there were a better way that we could have everybody who wanted to be there,\u201d she said.\u201cBut we spent a long time trying to figure out if there was a better way, and we could not find a way that would still work within the confines and allow people to express themselves.This was one way that we thought at least we could get all of the good ideas that are out in the community and have them being discussed by the people who will be participating in the summit.\u201d Anyone wanting to submit comments related to the topics to be discussed at the summit can send them by fax to
