Local News City court will move to Montreal West tarting in January 2003, Westmount residents summoned for traffic and bylaw infractions will no longer be appearing before the local municipal court on Stanton Street.Westmount\u2019s courthouse is being merged with those in the boroughs of Lachine, Côte St.Luc-Hampstead:Montreal West and Cote des Neiges-Notre Dame de Grace.As part of an ongoing streamlining of services in the megacity, the centre city's executive committee announced last week that 23 courts that once operated in independent municipalities across the island are being reduced to seven \u2018points of service.Westmounters will now have to go to Montreal West's former town hall, where the new courthouse will be servicing 265,000 inhabitants of the four boroughs.That courthouse will be handling the highest number of cases on the island\u201415.7 per cent.Cote des Neiges city councillor Francine Senécal, the executive committee member who made the announcement, said there would be no layoffs of judges or staff as a result of the changes.She said that closing some courthouses would in fact improve service.Under the new system, a person issued a citation in a borough on the other side of the island will no longer have to go there, but rather will be able to contest it at the nearest municipal point of service.The City is also contemplating the introduction of Internet service for citizens to pay fines or contest charges online.\u201cOur objective was to ensure better service for all Montrealers, and the choice we made is a way to make sure that all citizens have the same quality in the level of services,\u201d said Senécal.(continued on page 10) décor marie: paule Leaders in home decor 4918 Sherbrooke St.W., custom draperies, roman shades,

around the card table t may not be an Olympic sport yet, l but the game of bridge is alive and well in Victoria Hall.It\u2019s here that, every Monday evening, members of the Westmount Bridge Club meet to relax, socialize, and share their enthusiasm for one of the world\u2019s most popular card games.\u201cI've been playing bridge for close to 50 years,\u201d says Stanley Baker.\u201cI learned the game from my father, who needed a fourth for his games when someone couldn\u2019t make it\u201d Baker is one of the club\u2019s original members along with former mayor May Cutler, the club\u2019s director.This year marks the club\u2019s 10th anniversary.Although Baker\u2019s half century of play makes him one of the club\u2019s most experienced players, everyone who joins must have a reasonable level of competence.The atmosphere is relaxed but serious, with each table of four players alternating periods of lively chat between hands with thoughtful silences while the cards are in play.For minutes at a time, the only audible sound in the wood-paneled room is the slap of cards on the wooden tables.For Clement Lam, who moved to Montreal from Hong Kong in 1975, the Rehabilitation

Westmount club offers the opportunity to keep up with a game he learned to play on the other side of the world.\u201cBelieve it or not, bridge is very popular in Hong Kong,\u201d Lam observes.In fact, Lam\u2019s experience points to one of the most remarkable features of the Westmount Bridge Club: its diversity On an average Monday, players who can trace their origins to China, Japan, the Philippines and England face one another across the card table.Age is no barrier either, as anyone who knows the game is welcome.\u201cWhen we first started, there was no fee to join the bridge club,\u201d says Baker.\u201cAttendance was small when it was free\u2014 but when the City of Westmount decided to charge, membership suddenly increased.\u201d For Ronald Walker, Monday evening play at Victoria Hall only whets his appetite for bridge.\u201cWith the Internet, you can play any time you like,\u201d Walker says.\u201c This morning I played against someone from Norway, someone from Colorado, and an Indian chap.It\u2019s really an international game.\u201d Despite the high level of play, for most members of the Around the table, left to right: Stanley Baker, May Cutler, Simone

one hour drive from Montreal. | | Fevers MUHC hospital pavilions could dwarf neighbouring buildings Château Maisonneuve is the tallest building in the Glen Yards area.avilions at the McGill University Health Centre will exceed the height of an 18- storey highrise apartment block that is currently the area\u2019s tallest building, say MUHC officials.The highest tower in the MUHC'\u2019s proposed Glen Yards campus would rise \u201cjust a shade under 200 feet total height,\u201d Robert Hamilton, chief architect of the $1.2 billion project, revealed at a public meeting in NDG last Wednesday.According to plans unveiled earlier this year, none of the MUHC\u2019s buildings were supposed to exceed eight storeys.But as it came out during the meeting at the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex, the density of each of the MUHC\u2019s institutional storeys will be nearly 16 feet\u2014compared to a conventional building where it is about nine feet.In fact, the highest point on the campus will be as tall as a 22-storey building\u201420 feet more than the Chateau Maisonneuve apartment complex at the corner of Claremont and de Maisonneuve\u2014dwarfing residential houses on surrounding streets and obstructing the view of Mount Royal from the south.Dan Ahmad of Grey Avenue pointed out that an artist\u2019s conception of the completed campus on the cover of a promotional booklet the MUHC has been circulating for months shows buildings less than half as tall as the ones planners were talking about.Michael Goldbloom, former publisher of The Gazette and a Vendome Avenue resident, was among those who expressed reservations about the project\u2019s height and the shadows it would cast.\u201cI'm not an architect and I don\u2019t know what that\u2019s going to look like from Vendome, Marlowe and Grey, but I'm concerned,\u201d Goldbloom said.Jean Dufresne, the megahospital\u2019s chief planning officer, denied that the MUHC is trying to save money by building high.\u201cEverything else being equal, taller buildings are more expensive to build,\u201d he said.Goldbloom asked the MUHC'\u2019s planners how they would feel living in the shadow of the project.Referring to studies done for the MUHC, Hamilton replied, \u201cWhen the shadows are cast and are longest in the morning and in the late day, they don\u2019t go so much over residential areas.\u201d He said he found the results of the studies to be \u201cquite satisfactory.\u201d Westmount borough president Karin Marks, who was present at the meeting with several other Westmounters, said a consensus seems to be building among residents on all sides of the Glen Yards site.\u201cThis enormous project is close to fairly fragile and low-rise residential neighbourhoods, and people are not willing to have their entire quality of life sacrificed,\u201d she said.\u201cWe all feel there needs to be some look at the fact that this project is coming into a neighbourhood that has existed for over 100 years.\u201d While the MUHC\u2019s planners appear to be using the nearby Chateau Maisonneuve as a reference point for height, Marks pointed out that the highrise was built in the 1960s, an era of architectural permissiveness that many Westmounters now regret.\u201cIt Want to advertise in our \u201cmonthly real estate section?Call 484-5610 to find out how.was built during a period when most of us look back and feel there were some serious mistakes made\u2014and it\u2019s one of them,\u201d she said.After Chateau Maisonneuve was built, Marks said, Westmount changed its zoning regulations so that no other buildings of that height could ever be constructed again.Three storeys is now the maximum height in the area.\u201cFor (the MUHC) to say we're taking that as our reference point is really inappropriate because it\u2019s not a reference point that any of us use in our current zoning,\u201d said Marks.\u201cIt is true NDG is zoned higher than Westmount in that area\u2014certainly not as high as the hospital is planning\u2014 but the Westmount part is zoned three storeys.\u201d A Westmount resident who contacted The Examiner but did not want to be identified, expressed concerns about some of the other details of the MUHC project, including safety in pedestrian tunnels that would connect the megahospital to nearby streets.TOOTH WHITENING CENTER \u201cWe all know it\u2019s a little dangerous to use the tunnel connecting Alexis Nihon Plaza to Westmount Square,\u201d she said.*\u201cSince my son was a child, I used to say to him \u2018if you want to go to Alexis Nihon, go there\u2014but stay out of that bloody tunnel because that\u2019s where there are problems.\u2019 She was also concerned about the MUHC\u2019s underground parking facilities, which would contain thousands of cars and the subsequent problems supervising them, difficulties evacuating a hospital the size of the MUHC campus, as well as emergency helicopter flights in and out of the site.\u201cAny kind of a fire, that\u2019s another serious kind of a problem, never mind getting these cars in or out,\u201d she said.\u201cFor any kind of emergency, whatever it might be that you have to evacuate that hospital site, it cannot be done very easily.It can\u2019t.\u201d She also suggested that a building boom surrounding the MUHC site could cause a corresponding drop in occupancy rates at medical buildings elsewhere in Montreal.YOUR _ WHITEST TEETH.NOT IN THREE MONTHS.NOT IN THREE WEEKS BY TONIGHT.Introducing the BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening

the inaugural speech at the sculpture garden at the Douglas Hospital last month.The professor and chief of the Periodontal Department of McGill University had some thoughtful words for the audience that included Jacques Hendliz, director of the World Heath Organization in Quebec.\u201cAt the Douglas there are many with alternate life\u2019s views, perhaps with disturbed spirits, often incomprehensible, certainly different, always challenging, but never wrong,\u201d he said.\u201cThese works will become part of a permanent statue garden here at the Douglas and will hopefully provide an ever renewing environment for those who need to see mankind in a different light.in nature and contribute to the well-being of all who experience this garden.\u201d In memoriam Westmount and Montreal mourn the loss of the Hon.Hartland de Montarville Molson, OBE, OC, 0Q, who passed away in his 96th year last Sunday evening at Place Kensington.He is survived by his daughter Zoe and his three grandsons, Charles, Andrew and Maximilian Hardinge.A private family funeral will be held, by invitation only, followed by a service of thanksgiving for Hartland Molson\u2019s life to be held at later date to be announced.Peter C.Newman once wrote that the latter generations of Molsons were more interested with perpetuating the Molson dynasty than with living interesting lines, but if that is true, Hartland Molson didn\u2019t see it that way.He was a war hero, a visionary in business, a statesman in politics, and a sportsman, called himself a Quebecois, and was preeminently a family man.He owned the Montreal Canadians in their greatest heights of glory.\u201cHis family has lost a great patriarch and we are greatly sorry to be without him,\u201d said Maximilian Hardinge this week.\u201cHe was a part of Canada\u2019s A \u2018history, and our loss is aso the loss of the country.\u201d Sos DD DB =D A + Public Works Department gears up for fall and winter Martin C.Barry now removal in Westmount will remain largely unaffected by this year's merger with Montreal, Public Works director Fred Caluori told the Westmount Municipal Association last week.A high turnout of more than 20 WMA members\u2014 including four past presidents\u2014gathered at Victoria Hall on Sept.24 to hear Caluori explain his department\u2019s workings.Among other details about leaf composting erations, Caluori said the borough will be testing t a new piece of machinery starting on Oct.28.\u201cWe will be trying an attachment that goes on the front of the tractor,\u201d said Caluori.\u201cIt operates like a snowblower, actually.You prepare the leaves, then it shreds them and blows them into a truck.\u201d Regarding snow removal operations, WMA past president Bridget Blackader asked Caluori if there has been any change in the amount of snow that must fall before plowing can begin.\u201cNo,\u201d said Caluori, explaining that Westmount\u2019s Public Works continue to operate independently of the centre city.\u201cAt this point it\u2019s still the responsibility of the borough,\u201d he said.\u201cWe have not been dictated to when to pick up snow or when not to pick it up.\u201d Caluori said he saw no reason why things should change, unless politics comes into play later on\u2014\u201cbecause residents of NDG might see Westmount picking up snow and Montreal doesn\u2019t.\u201d Caluori said that Montreal has a different policy towards snow removal.\u201cThey wait for snow to accumulate and then they pick it up.\u201d In Westmount, snow is removed from 51 kms.of roads, 9.7 kms.of lanes, 102.7 kms.of sidewalks, 13 municipal parking lots and 17 sets of public steps.Public Works director Fred Caluori and WMA president Kathleen Duncan at last week's

WON'T RUN: \u201cFor the second time this year, Mayor Peter Trent says he won't run for mayor of the Montreal megacity.Last July, as election fever was just starting, Trent said @oular be running for mayor of the new City of Montreal because he wasn\u2019t interested in leading a municipality he didn\u2019t believe in, and because he thought it would be hypocritical to run while fighting the mega-merger in court.At last Monday night\u2019s council meeting, however, Trent said he was taking Démocracité, the anti-merger citizens\u2019 coalition, \u201cvery seriously\u201d in their suggestion he should run, adding that he needed time to think.\u201cDémocracité represents the majority of the people on the island of Montreal, and if I made a quick decision on this it would not be congruous with the level of support you people have,\u201d said Trent.Five Years Ago Oct.2, 1997 FREE WOOD: \u201cAs the land was almost entirely cleared of trees and underbrush last week, a sign announcing \u2018free wood\u2019 attracted quite a few passersby who could be seen loading their cars.A massive trailer has since been moved in to serve as headquarters for the construction of a housing project around the CP train station on St.Catherine Street.But developer Jerome Winikoff had to iron out a couple of issues with the City of Westmount before breaking ground for the townhouse development.\u201d Twenty Years Ago September 30, 1982 VIC HALL VACANCY: \u201cIs Victoria Hall for rent or isn\u2019t it?The public is often confused and even city officials seem to have different versions of the present status of the under-used community centre., expected to run up a $60,000 deficit this year.\u2018Victoria Hall is there to rent if anyone wants to rent it,\u201d confirms Ald.Brian Gallery, commissioner of services.But callers to City Hall, including the Examiner, &: told no bookings will be taken st the end of October.\u201d Thirty Years Ago October 5, 1972 RALLY FOR POLICE: \u201cRather more than 1,00 citizens jammed Victoria Hall\u2019s concert hall, private rooms, lobby and even outdoors for a while last Thursday night.They vociferously protested the recommendations of the director of the Montreal Urban Community police to strip Westmount of its police station and much of its police service.\u201d No head start for Montreal kids he School Boards on the I island of Montreal regard the increase to the school tax rate, which was decreed by the Quebec government, as unacceptable.This tax rate paid by every Montreal resident has doubled in the past ten years and the government has consistently refused demands to review this ever-increasing tax load.This is clearly discriminatory.Remember, only residents on the Island are taxed at this high rate; school taxes beyond the Island are considerably lower.Yet, last year Premier Bernard Landry declared that the fight against poverty would be a priority of his government\u2019s policy.Why do 1 find it impossible to believe such a statement promising noble intentions to decrease and perhaps prevent the effects of poverty?The answer is that the greatest concentration of people living in poverty in Quebec lives on the Island of Montreal.Statistical profiles show serious deficiencies in the material well-being of many Montreal families.Six years ago, 34 per cent of families were sin- gle-parent families.Almost half of all Quebecers subsisting on social assistance live on the Island of Montreal.Families in Montreal have another problem unique to the region\u2014a lack of housing! As a result of the housing shortage, statistics indicate that in the last six years an ever-increasing proportion of household income has been going to pay the rent! If a mother on social assistance pays a third to a half of her income to pay the rent not much is left to clothe and feed the children.Do not forget that we all live in Quebec and Quebec has winter! We all have to heat our living spaces.With heating bills starting in earnest in November, many families go to food banks to survive the long hard months of winter.Student attendance at school and community-sponsored breakfast and lunch programs is greatest from December to the end of April.The inadequate income from welfare or low-paying jobs cannot cover the housing, heating and nutritional needs of a family in this city.Malnutrition becomes a fact and at least one child in five on the Island is malnourished.The school boards have reported these needs through the School Council of the Island of Montreal for the last 20 years.The government has responded recently by giving subsidies to nutrition programs in the areas of extreme poverty.The government has also responded to the needs of poor families by doubling the school tax rate on the Island.So the poorest families may be receiving some help with the children\u2019s breakfast or lunch program, but they are paying higher and higher rents for often inadequate housing every year.This is a classic case of political blindness and the contradictory application of policies will continue to cause tremendous harm to children growing up in families living in poverty.Premier Landry and his government should name the Island of Montreal as a special zone of concentrated poverty and they should initiate emergency measures to immediately alleviate the malnutrition and social alienation of thousands of Montreal children.Joan Rothman is Commissioner for Ward 8 of the English Montreal School Board.Students will determine Quebec's future Jacques Chagnon ver the past few days, O:ioivs a research initiative requested by the Official Opposition, the National Assembly's Education Commission has been meeting to study the fluctuations in the number of students in the education system.Why would we choose such a subject?Precisely because we fear a significant decrease in the number of students in all regions of Quebec from now until 2014-2015.The demographic decline will have important effects on school services at all levels - elementary, secondary, college and university.Outside the major centres, the impact of the decrease in the number of students will be accentuated by one-way migration towards the urban areas, and particularly towards Montreal.In short, Quebec\u2019s population, like that of anywhere else, gravitates towards the areas that are the most economically robust.This will have major consequences for the Gaspé, the Lower North Shore and Abitibi, regions which we project could lose up to 30 per cent of their school-age How's the market?Who said what?population over the next 12 years or so.Other areas, such as the Mauricie or the Lower St.Lawrence, will lose close to 20 per cent of their enrollment.The only regions that will see gains are Montreal, where the number of students will jump by four per cent, the Laurentians, which will show an increase of 10 per cent and the Montérégie, where enrollment will rise just over two per cent.We can thus anticipate that these fluctuations will have an impact on both the number of schools and on teaching methods.For example, to save rural schools, we will need to look at models such as multi-grade classrooms, where children from the first to the fourth grades would be together.In addition, we can easily imagine longer bus rides for children in elementary school and even longer ones for those in high school.Several groups came to plead in favour of regionalizing immigration as a demographic solution.This is just wishful thinking.Immigrants will always be seduced by the urban centres where they have a better chance of finding work.Moreover, they will continue to prefer living in an area where they can be close to other members of their own community.There are, nonetheless, some new choices available.For example, I think we should count on internation- Keep up with the weekly discussions at David and Diana Nicholson's Wednesday Night Salons & www, Wednesday-Night.com al students to solve part of the problem.We need to deregulate tuition fees for foreign students and allow them to work off campus.In addition, financial aid should be provided for those who are at the master\u2019s and doctoral levels.And we must allow colleges and universities to hold on to all the revenues from tuition fees.It is in our best interest to do so.We need to ensure that the number of students at the master\u2019s and doctoral levels increases in order to meet the levels of education that we find in OECD member countries.The development of teaching and research over the course of graduate studies contribute to the economic prosperity of regions where they are concentrated.In any case, close to 80 per cent of new jobs require college or university diplomas.This parliamentary commission, which by the way was very well- attended, will, through its recommendations, assist our education system in getting through this zone of demographic turbulence.It\u2019s a shame that not one MNA from Mario Dumont\u2019s party was sufficiently interested in this question; no one from the ADQ came to take part in this Commission, which is vital for the future of the province.Jacques Chagnon is the Liberal MNA for Westmount-St.Louis.Want to advertise in our monthly real estate section?Call 484-5610 to find out how.z abeg -

how his poetry became more personal and more intimate as he got older.\u201d In conjunction with her talk, Stromberg-Stein, who is an accomplished sculptor, will present McGill with a sculpture entitled \u2018essence.\u2019 According to the artist, the bronze piece depicts an open book with a hand pointing to a crystal which is embedded in the pages.It is Stromberg-Stein\u2019s way of honouring a man whose creative and intellectual influence she was fortunate to have experienced personally.Stromberg-Stein also suggests that the City of Montreal honour Dudek by renaming Ingleside Avenue\u2014where the poet spent much of his life\u2014after him.\u201cThe City changes street names at the drop of a hat, so why not?\u201d she says.\u201cPerhaps Westmounters will start an initiative after reading about him in the Examiner.\u201d The MacLennan Lecture takes place Wednesday, Oct.9 at 6 p.m.at McGill University, in the Rare Books department of the MacLennan Library, 4th floor, 3459 McTavish St.For more information, call 398-4677.Reach your potential at Centennial Centennial Academy is a co-educational independent high school where a balance between academics and co-cur- ricular activities is promoted.Classes are small, teachers are attentive and students receive personalized support in a structured learning environment that encourages them to reach their full potential in all they do.Oct.9, 2002 9 a.m.- noon 4 p.m.- 7 p.m.Un 0% 3 ce Quap gion: pene £2 Centennial Academy 8 Prud'homme Ave., Montreal, QC H4A 3H6 L[) 514) 48648 Fax: #514) 486-1401 www.centennifl.qc.ca + 5 de TE in: \u201c ~ Kitchens & Counter Tops «* _ | Professional | Installation PAR | puff Backed by our commitment to \u2019 service excellence!
