estmount\u2019s first fire chief since the amalgamation of its pre-merger fire department with the City of Montreal's protective service has retired after just a year and nine months on the job in this district.Georges Aumais, who was named chief of Division 17 of Montreal's fire department (which includes Westmount and parts of Montreal) following the retirement of James Adams in late 2001, had e of the shortest terms by anyone who ever ved as chief of fire protection for Westmount.Altogether, Aumais, 50, who began his career with the Montreal fire department in 1974, had 29 years of service as a firefighter.He said he decided to retire because of the impact pressure from the job was having on his overall well-being.He added that he was also not entirely pleased with the way the megacity\u2019s post-merger fire department operates.\u201cNot that I didn\u2019t like my job\u2014just that I'm torn apart taking that kind of decision\u2014but I had to put the family aside,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd it was also taking its toll on my health.I took that decision based on these facts because I was putting in over 60, 70, sometimes 80 hours a week.\u201d Even though he received support from Westmount Borough Director Bruce St.Louis and other members of the borough\u2019s staff, for which he said he was grateful, Aumais added that it ended up not being enough.\u201cThere comes a time when you can\u2019t do a job for two men,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd I was doing it for three or four.It was taking a toll on my family and my health.\u201d One of guidelines given division chiefs like PSO nabs B&E suspect Division Chief Georges Aumais COSMETIC DENTISTRY CAN MAKE YOU LOOK UNGER IN A MATTER OF MINUTES Martin C.Barry fficers with Westmount's O Public Security force played a crucial role recently in two separate incidents involving a burglary suspect and a possible heart attack victim.While patrolling the street on Aug.24 at 10:50 p.m., PSO Steve Payne heard the sound of breaking glass.As he continued south along the street, he observed a man walking up the entrance stairs of 1335 Greene.Payne noticed that the door to the store had been smashed open and the burglar alarm was sounding.At this point, the suspect started to run along Greene\u2019s west side into a nearby parking lot.Payne drove into a lane where he saw him fleeing through an adjoining lane which connected to Sherbrooke Street.After notifying Montreal police by io that he was in pursuit of a break- wad-entry-in-progress suspect, Payne checked behind parked cars on Sherbrooke, where he found the suspect hiding behind a Honda Civic.Despite Payne\u2019s warnings to him not to run, the suspect fled back towards the Greene Avenue parking lot, where he discarded a dark-coloured backpack.Payne chased him on foot towards the corner of Sherbrooke and Elm Avenue where he tackled, restrained \"YA 934-1818 4 Westmount Square, suite 11C http://www.royallepage.ca westmount1@royallepage.ca and handcuffed the suspect until the arrival of police.The PSO\u2019s actions earned the praise of Public Security Director Richard McEnroe, who pointed out he was following in the footsteps his father, George Payne, a well-known police and Public Security officer in Westmount for many years, who passed away recently.Payne was also commended in Westmount\u2019s borough council.\u201cIt seems fitting that we would recognize his recent heroics,\u201d borough councillor John de Castell told council earlier this month.\u201cKudos to our PSO department, and in particular Officer Steve Payne.\u201d In a separate incident on Sept.3, PSO Kyle Walls helped save an 81-year-old man who was experiencing breathing difficulties related to a suspected heart problem.After being flagged down by three of the bank\u2019s employees, who had begun CPR on the man with the assistance of a bank client, Walls took over.The man, who stopped breathing several times, was revived by Walls until Urgences Santé arrived.McEnroe praised the actions not only of the PSO, but also the bank employees who assisted.\u201cThe fact that these bank employees came to the assistance of this man was a great effort on their part,\u201d he said.REALTOR A IN-WESTMOUNT ACCORDING TO G.M.R.B.STATISTICS ras nnn ROYAL LEPAGE 222 PTIT HERITAGE Courtier immobilier agréé Franchise indépendante et autonome de Royal LePage Aumais in the new fire depar tment was to \u201cdo more with less all the time,\u201d he said.\u201cThey didn\u2019t cut much on the contract for the firefighters, but there was always talk about cutbacks on the budget and things like that.There was too much work and we need more and more staff to keep the structure in place.\u201d During an interview with the Examiner, Aumais made no attempt to conceal his dislike of certain aspects of the centralized fire department.\u201cThere were some good things in the former cities like Westmount, and there were good things in Montreal, like having all firefighters working together on different things, (but) I think we didn\u2019t take full advantage of the best of both worlds,\u201d he said.\u201cWe brought the best of Montreal and the worst of Montreal throughout the island,\u201d Aumais added.\u201cIn the former cities that are now boroughs, the citizens were closer to the administration\u2014and 1 think that\u2019s the way to go ahead.My loyalty basically is towards the citizens.1 always said that, and 1 didn\u2019t feel that I gave enough to the citizens.| gave all I could give, but not in the context that | would have liked.\u201d Aumais noted that in former suburbs like Westmount, any citizen with concern or a complaint had only to call their mayor or a councillor and the matter was dealt with quickly.\u201cBut now you are losing yourself in the administration,\u201d he said.In the end, Aumais insisted he couldn\u2019t get the job done because of red tape which stood in the way.\u201clI can\u2019t give an order to get something done because I have to go through so many channels,\u201d he said.\u201cI'd be working on it for months and not see the end of it.In some ways, it pisses me off.And when you add it all up, it just eats you alive.\u201d | Before YQU DESERVE.LOOK GOOD AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF A great sade as an anpostant part ol \u20ac pression vou make tn the workd Since 1979 136 1Hion Bes hate has

Association appreciated the opporcu- nity on Sept.10 to present our brief.We want to ensure our points were well communicated.Westmount has been committed from the outset to regaining its autonomy, and we look forward to the democratic process of a referendum to help us achieve our goal.A clear and direct question will ensure an indisputable result, an objective we share.Very directly, local autonomy means legal status, taxation powers, control over hiring and firing of our employees and control over the maximum number of services we had.During the question period following our presentation Minister Fournier, you informed us that we would not be returning to our former status, but instead become part of an Westmount Municipal Association agglomeration.Over several decades we participated in an agglomeration with Montreal, the MUC and its successor, the MMC.As M.Bernard Furniture tailored to your taste and budget N pointed out while outlining his brief, \u201cla fiscalité d\u2019agglomération\u201d inherently means we are interdependent with our neighbours.We are in agreement with the principle of a contribution to shared regional services, which has never been a point of contention.We are fully prepared to contribute.However, how agglomeration will be defined and what it includes is of the utmost concern to us.If our previous status is out of the question, just how far does the pendulum swing in the other direction in order to satisfy all the interested parties whom you need to appease in this undertaking?What will we be voting for in a refer- endum\u2014anything we will recognize?As echoed in several briefs, there exists a wide gap between M.Charest saying on Nov.20, 2000: \u201cThe liberal party has promised that once it forms a government it will allow the citizens who have been victims of these forced mergers to speak and undo what the Parti Québecois has done!\u201d and being told our only option now is to partick pate in an agglomeration of undisclosed dimensions.The bottom line is we are paying higher taxes for poorer services to a distant administration, which has the dubious boast to be the largest in North America.Is there any wonder that apathy is rampant amongst voters.How can the outcome of a referendum be indisputable and possess the absolute legitimacy that you and everyone seeks if, as a \u201crestored municipality\u201d, we bear little resemblance to what we were, and have taxation without representation?The absolute and undisputed legitimacy comes from delivering a cle and concise question, while returni legal status, taxation, control over hiring and firing of employees and control of services to the former municipalities.Yours truly, Kathleen Duncan President, Westmount

40353119 Improve lighting to thwart burglars, cops urge Martin C.Barry olice at Station 12 are launching a safety awareness campaign to make some Westmount homeowners more aware of the need for better lighting as a deterrent to burglars.The program, which starts this week under the supervision of Sgt.Alain Sénécal, will involve four police technology students from John Abbott College, who will be going door-to- door distributing a leaflet and providing information to residents in an area bounded by Clarke Avenue, Roslyn Avenue, Côte St.Antoine Road and The Boulevard.Two years ago, according to Sénécal, along certain streets in Westmount, police started to receive a number of complaints about breaking and entering incidents at homes where there were expensive works of art.But while the residents wanted police protection and patrols increased, Sénécal noticed that at half the homes on the affected streets, there was insufficient lighting\u2014or none at all\u2014to deter thieves.While out on patrol, he also observed that, even if burglars were in the vicinity of a home, the police wouldn\u2019t be able to spot them because of the darkness of many properties, combined with the large number of trees.The address numbers in front of houses were also usually switched off, making it difficult for police or emergency personnel to find a specific home quickly.As Sénécal pointed out during a briefing to the students at Station 12 last week, during medical emergencies every second counts.\u201cTwo minutes can make the difference between someone living and someone dying.\u201d he said.\u201cBut imagine a street where there are seven homes in a row which are badly lit, or not lit at all, where even the addresses can\u2019t be seen, and you're looking for an address.\u201d In the time it takes for police or ambulance technicians to stop, get out and check address numbers and finally locate the destination, two minutes will have passed.\u201cNobody will know if anyone's life has been endangered, but it would have been a lot easier had the light been switched on, showing the address,\u201d said Sénécal, who pointed out that it would cost the average homeowner an additional $3 annually to leave the address light switched on, based on an estimate provided by Westmount Hydro.In terms of the interior lighting of homes, he added that many residents are virtually inviting burglars in by illuminating living rooms and their contents, while simultancously leaving the outside of homes shrouded in darkness where burglars can lurk undetected.Sénécal suggested placing more lighting outside, even some distance from the house, and making an effort not to leave a home's contents exposed by unnecessarily bright interior lighting.The four police technology students, David Brodeur, 19, and William Wright, 22, who are both from Pierrefonds, as well as Frank Lombardo, 19, of St.Léonard, and Adam El-Dakak, 19, of Brossard, say they're eager to acquire the experience the awareness campaign will be giving them.\u201cWhat we\u2019ve learned in theory, we'll be getting to apply hands on,\u201d El-Dakak said.WE Deliver YOUR Flyers: Call 484-5610.SATISFACTION!

Easy Squeeze! This is an ingenious plastic sphincter, which, much like the natural original, does a very good job of preventing leaks.Also, the label has been applied upside down, so that the contents are always close to the exit point - again, modeled from nature.No longer can we say \u201cshake, shake, ketchup bottle / none\u2019ll come, and then a lot\u2019ll.\u201d Beware: although the squeeze is indeed easy to apply, the resulting squirt is not gradual.It arrives as a sudden, powerful jet, which can easily land several inches from the target area.The \u2018Big Squeeze\u2019 mayonnaise bottle is not quite as successful.For some reason the manufacturer has eschewed both the artificial sphincter and the upside-down bottle approach.and because of this the emerging substance arrives accompanied by a spectacularly disgusting noise.At my house this is a positive thing, but it may not appeal to everyone.Yes, we've come a long way since a shopkeeper would simply fill a paper bag with a customer\u2019s purchases, hold it by the corners and then spin it through 360 degrees, creating a little two-eared bag to be handed over to a delighted child, who could then take it home, practice twirling and un- twirling it until bored, and then blow air into the empty bag and smack it between his hands, making a loud noise and frightening the dog.Today\u2019s bags are bigger becaus the all the packaging, and made of ait artificial material that is not biodegradable and won\u2019t explode when smacked.However, mayonnaise bottles are more fun than ever.» George Bowser is one half of the musical comedy duo Bowser & Blue.Page 6 - THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - Thursday, October 2, 2003 The Bustmemnt = Publisher : Gordon Brewerton ext 27 Classified Boxed Ads : Tel.(514) 685-4690 ext.245 Regional Office e-maik:publisher@transcontinental.ca Classified Ads : Tel.: (514) 321-2000 Hebdos Transcontinental / Western Montreal gx Editor : Wayne Larsen ext 32 Fax : (450) 668-2901 3677 Des Sources, Dollard des Ormeaux, Qc, H9B 2T6 NEWSPAPERS e-mail:larsenw@transcontinental.ca Graphic Designer : Emanuela Niculescu Regional Manager : Gordon Brewerton .+ COMPETITION 4 245 Victoria Ave, Suite 10 Administration : Debbie Dore ext 28 Printing : Transcontinental Printing DE.inc Circulation : Lo vision fransmag Westmount Examiner 9 800 copies Ol M6 Reception : Monica Kin ext 21 : p Westmount (Québec) H3Z 2 , - com ; re je ! > ; 0607, ue Mrabesu The West End Chronicle 35 000 copies dvertising Consultants: Sandra Cobnn ext 24 îlle d'Anjou, Qc, 5 (514) 484-5610 Fax: (514) 484-6028 9 hey somal ots ut a The Chronicle 52 000 copies rvey Aise Distribution : Transcontinental Media Inc Cités Nouvelles 52 000 copies Direct Line: (514) 484-7523 janice Proctor ext 26 Publi-Sac Montréal a ante, Arleen Candiotti ext 31 337-6920 Member ¥ En yy sombre Publisher's Ladiity foe error: The publisher shall not be kable for shoht changes or typographwal officielle, est mterdite sans la permission ecnte de l'éditeur.Responsabilite de l'editeur en matière de wo Quebec Cormemuswey Denn error that do not lessen the value of an advertisement.The publisher\u2019s Rabdlity for other erors or réclame l'éditeur ne peut être tenu responsable des Changements mineurs ou des erreurs Canachen Community Gos Juma ENT omassions i connection with any advertisement 15 sinctiy fimited to publication of the advertise: typographiques qui n'affectent pas là valeur d'une reckame.En ce qui concerne les aut 5 i ras Nowrtpapers Aasocuon Prone du Québec a ment in any subsequent ssue or the refund of any monses pad for the advertisement.responsablite se limite stnctement 4 la publication de l'annonce dans une edition subrequente ou ranscontinental Subscription in Conada: $50/year .Outside Canada: $125 /year.Toute reproduction des annonces ou informatons, en tout ou en parte.de façon officelle ou non- remboursement des fras de publication vw Canadian Publication no.: 1375822 Common sense is the best dieting bet Tommy Schnurmacher he Atkins diet or the South Beach diet?That is the question Books extolling the merits of these two similar high-protein, low-carbohy- drate diets have been selling by the mil- @: and they clog the top of all the 21-fiction bestseller lists.They also clog up your arteries according to an army of experts and researchers who can barely be restrained as they explain in much peer-reviewed detail how these diets greatly increase your risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer and heart disease.Diets, healthy and otherwise, are a multi-billion dollar business.(from the examiner archives) Five Years Ago October 1, 1998 DIANA HONOURED: \u201cThe City of 7 i mn LAGE The \\TRE W IST TE Hudson\u2019s Professional Theatre 28 Wharf Rd., Hudson $20% mat.$22 Tues.-Fri.$24\u201d Sat.Group rates available HUDSON IS ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC!

www.villagetheatre.ca Before he died recently after an accidental fall, Dr.Robert C.Atkins was the leading proponent of a high-protein, high-fat diet that helped tens of thousands of people lose weight in the short run.A hero to some and vilified by the experts, he raked in millions even though the American Dietetic Association referred to his diet as \u201ca nightmare.\u201d Dean Ornish, the guru of the low- fat, high-fibre diet, delights in pointing out that the high-protein diet was not invented by Atkins, but was first popularized by an undertaker in the 1800s who may very well have been looking for more clients.Best-selling diet doctors obviously don\u2019t like one another so who to believe?Your friends and associates will buttonhole you at cocktail parties and sing the praises of Atkins/South Beach and how they lost a great deal of weight.The conversation tends to peter out as they go on to explain how they smell bad, have constant constipation and are often

that studies have shown that the risk of drop-out from high-school is highest among those students who have a record of poor academic performance, high rate of absence a low socio-economic background and those who become pregnant.Poverty in Verdun tends to be generational and the parent of most students likely to become dropouts themselves did not complete high school.Verdun Elementary students have a 50 per cent dropout rate from high school.The program will employ four tutors, a psychologist and a coordinator who will work with 25 students from grades six and secondary one in two one hour sessions per week for the next two academic years.In addition there will be monthly family support group meetings, thus involving the parents.Delegates from Westmount Rotary will be involved in the

when you thought you had seen flowers in art to the point where there was nothing innovative left to be done, award-winning Westmount photographer Alison Wynne Sorbie brings her current exhibition \u2018Botanica\u2019 to Victoria Hall\u2014and changes your perspective.Sorbie\u2019s exhibition, presented along with the recent paintings of Barbara Asgary, is a intimate look at plantings from a macro view that we usually do not have the privilege to see.Flowers \u20ac.we take for granted on our daily xcursions are seen by Sorbie as an opportunity for exploration.\u201cThere is so much variety and colour in plantings that we see that sometimes it\u2019s nice to single out elements, to simplify, what we see,\u201d she says.\u201cTo get people to look that close into a plant\u2014to blow it up\u2014makes a lot of people aware of something that they normally wouldn't be conscious of.It can make it much more interesting.It\u2019s a way of abstracting it from nature.\u201d We are treated to views of flowers and foliage that manage to appear tactile and often overwhelmingly erotic through Sorbie\u2019s lens.\u201cI like pulling out an element and saying, \u2018Look at this,\u201d\u201d Sorbie says.\u201cIt allows different interpretations for someone to have.\u201d In photographs such as \u2018Helianthus Annus\u2019 and the aptly titled \u2018Velvet Queen,\u2019 Sorbie\u2019s use of depth-of-field and film speed combine to create a grainy, soft abstract image that draws the viewer in and that the velvet sensation they project is tangible.\u2018Botanica\u2019 is selected from the artist's body of work over the last few years.But .\"OAR has always been drawn to nature and has become increasingly interested in gardens and landscapes.It\u2019s safe to say that after visiting \u2018Botanica\u2019 most people will leave with the same inclination.Barbara Asgary: \u2018Recent Works\u2019 The old saying \u201cYou have to learn the rules in order to break them,\u201d certainly applies to Westmount artist Barbara Asgary.While Asgary was classically trained in figurative art in Paris at the Ecole Nationale Superiure des beaux- arts and the Ecole Montparnasse, she has opted for the New York School minimalist approach to her work.Asgary, who came to Canada from her native Czech Republic when she was three years old, cites Kandinsky, Rauschenberg and Rothko as having had a major influence on her work.In 1943, Mark Rothko wrote about Abstract Expressionism saying \u201cWe favour the simple expression of the complex thought.\u201d Asgary successfully carries on this tradition in her work by using La carte Accès Montréal, seulement 5, seulement pour les Montréalaises et Montréalais Pour plus de renseignements et pour connaître

Wynne s rhie (left) and Barbara Asgary why flowers?Sorbie explains that she manages to convey this scene replete with the impression of snow blowing through the air with only a pale blue and white canvas.Asgary, who views her work as a \"window to my inner existence,\u201d says she has \u201can excitement for colour\u201d but sticks to a predominantly pastel palette which provides a calming atmosphere to her work.There is a spiritual component\u2014\"a nice place to rest your mind, \u2019she says\u2014 in her work, which hangs in collections across Canada, as well as in France, Mexico,
