The Ladies of Roslyn at a recent meeting.Of course, there is the standing joke upon entry: \u201cGood to see you! You are right on time.No problem with traffic getting here?\u201d But once the socializing is somewhat satisfied, the group gets down to its real business - organizing an event to raise money for some worthwhile cause.The participants are a diverse bunch: physicians, a marketer, teachers, real estate and insurance agents, a financial analyst, a writer, stay-at-home moms, people who work in fashion or with seniors.What everyone shares, though, is a sense of community.At the organizing meeting for the block party, one mom was reminiscing about the \u2018collective mothering\u2019 that helped her out of a tricky situation.\u201cIt was probably the first time my husband and | went out and left our Kids alone\u201d, she recalled.\u201cWe came back hours later to find a son asleep with an arm that had been strapped to immobilize a broken clavicle sustained when OPEN 7 DAYS 4120 St-Catherine St.w Westmount (Across from Westmount Square) 1352306 he fell out of bed\u201d The siblings had been rough-housing but calmed down pretty quickly when the boy's pain became apparent.They were matter-of- fact.\u201cOh boy,\u201d they muttered, \u201cwe'd better go find another mom.\u201d Which 1s exactly what they did; and it was another mom who sat with the child for hours in the emergency ward.The injured child's parents were embarrassed but appreciative.\u201cKind of redefines the phrase \u2018block parents\u2019 doesn't it?\u201d the mom mused.\u2018et another mom, Sylvia Reiter.who in recent past has spearheaded the block initiatives, spoke of how people rallied with food and babysitting when her husband, Andre, was diagnosed with cancer and was going through his treatments a few years ago.\u201cThey were just there for us,\u201d she stated.She and others, hke Sandra Grant across the street, balances a full work life with dedicated volunteer activities, and wouldn't have it any other way.\u201cWe have to do more because we have more,\u201d Grant said.On a lighter note, Lily Peuckert and the writer of this article recalled with fondness how our two families jointly organized and lived through the repaving of the common driveway - the same driveway, by the way, where some of the earliest block parties we co-hosted.and we still remain friends 24 years later; how many neighbors can say that?Lesley Bishin, 27, a Roslyn child, recently summed up the feeling this way: \u201cUntil | moved away from home four years ago, 1 just took it for granted that it was natural to know - and be somewhat friendly with - cach and every adult, child and pet on the entire block; 1 thought that was à given.\u201d Maybe not, but it\u2019s certainly handy - especially if you've broken your clavicle.Sharon Bishin is a longtime resident of Roslyn Avenue.Call our office today, or visit our website to find out more about our esthetic dental services, exclusive tooth whitening center and accomodations for out of town clients.# Dr.Elliot Mechanic ESTHETIC DENTAL SERVICES - GENERAL DENTIST (514) 769-3939 \u2026 À ET Bary and RTP FT CIDP BT 1 Hour Teeth Whitening www.drmechanic.com INSPUI) Nd MAX WESTMOUNT INC.5673 Monkland N.D.G.401018266 WOM IAUTIUEXIIUNOLLIISAM Mum \u201cCAIN CAPPSINY | sOUIWEXZ JUNOWISAM yl « -00 S 6 Thursday, July 5,2007 The Westmount Examiner www.westmountexaminer.com Opinion Fall predictions Commentary Wayne LARSEN larsenw@transcontinental.ca As the quiet summer beckons and local activities fall off almost completely, we can look forward to a few slow news weeks.But as stores prepare their Back to School sales and many people retreat to their country homes, now seems a good time to look ahead to the fall, when everything starts up again and we will once again be inundated with news.The following are a few items we may (or may not) see in September: * The controversial Montreal Agglom will be dismantled in favour of a new body consisting of two accountants and three chimpanzees on loan from the Granby Zoo.This prompts Westmount Mayor Karin Marks to quip, \u201cThey make a lot more noise, and lunchtimes are certainly interesting, but at least it\u2019s an improvement.\u201d * The City of Westmount\u2019s decision to resurface Westmount Park playing fields with \u201cnatural grass\u201d will lead to a false sense of self-importance for the local Bloc Pot candidate in the next provincial election.* Having walked the entire length of Montreal Island on June 21, the Examiner's own long-distance hiker Matthew Surridge will announce a new challenge - walking the length of King George Park in the middle of the night, curfew be damned.* À West Island beauty pageant will be suddenly cancelled after several Anglophone contestants back out upon learning that one of the judges is Montreal city councillor Marvin Rotrand.* A citizens\u2019 movement to curb excess outdoor lighting in upper Westmount will get a boost from several local teenagers, who attend a council meeting to complain that floodlights from nearby homes are ruining the mood and seriously affecting their make-out sessions at the Summit lookout, * From \u201cHands Off My City\u201d to \u201cJe me souviendrai,\u201d a new protest slogan will be heard across mega-Montreal, this time coming from some of the faithful boroughs.Within just a few months, the \u201cOh, Crap! Is it Too Late to Demerge®\u201d (\u201cZut! Est-ce que c'est trop tard?\u201d) movement will gain momentum across the eastern portion of the island.* An eighth community paper will appear in Westmount, prompting a visit by an official from the Guinness Book of World Records - and cheers of gratitude from local dog owners who know there is no such thing as having too much newspaper.© 0.0.8 Lemme TE a v TI ae she A 3 A RS rr the lengths to which the Save the Park campaigners went to get their case heard.Yet their methods were fairly standard as modern crusades go.Groups with a message now use the internet and its multiple tools abundantly.American politics are leading the way, embracing each new medium as it becomes established.Three years ago, Howard Dean, the Vermont physician turned state governor, launched a bid for the US presidency with a campaign based on electronic outreach.E-mail was already established, but blogging and social networking (YouTube, Facebook and others), have since become routine tools of American politics.They have yet to be taken up in Canada to the same extent, but their use is growing.Closer to home, the Westmount Municipal Association has been leading the way through its website www.wma-amw.org run by president Dr.Henry Olders, although its objectives are more civic than political.Nevertheless, it is innovating.The association\u2019s blog system was an additional outlet for publicizing views about artificial turf.Last month, the WMA site experimented with a task that many would think belongs to the city itself.S ome Council members still shake their heads at Trent's innovation Peter Trent.early in his mayoralty, agreed that Civic Alert Don WEDGE the WMA should have an advance copy of the basic documents that each councillor receives for every statutory monthly meeting.The City Clerk's office has continued the service despite mergers, demergers and other pressures.Subsequently, a copy was also made available in the Library near the Reference Desk, and another copy placed at the back of the council chamber before each meeting.This service is an example of Westmount's democratic culture.To the best of my knowledge, no other council on the Island provides the public with anything like this level of information - although other methods of reaching the public are beginning to emerge.WMA wants e-version In recent years, the WMA and others have asked that the information be made available electronically.\u201cAfter all, for years now all the documents have been produced on computers, so they are already available in electronic form.\u201d reasons Olders.\u201cWe do not want to make work for City staff, but it is information the whole public, not just WMA members, are entitled to.The technology exists to make it easily available.\u201cOne would think it is a small task to assemble the various items and email the result to whoever is interested.Alternatively, they could be put on the website, and those interested be informed by email of its posting.\u201d When raised at Council, Mayor Karin Marks agreed with the point, but the e-documents never materialized, perhaps getting lost in the committees that deal with these things.Olders put it to the test himself when the documents - average number of pages - were received for the June meeting.As the originals were unavailable to him, he painstakingly scanned every page and loaded them on the WMA website.Then he sent an e-mail to all members alerting them of the documents\u2019 availability.The whole job - done labour-intensively on his home equipment - took only two hours! Timely flow Making the support documentation available was a first step, but the WMA has asked repeatedly that it be distributed more expeditiously.\u201cWhy cannot the minutes of meetings be posted when the final drafts are ready?\u201d (Continued on page o Exam 345 Victoria, suite 508 -

A Message from the Montreal firefighters enough to ensure Carr's reputation for generations to come, but few of them are well-known today.However, Carr's sudden transformation from obscure eccentric to national icon can be seen in all works dated after 1927 - the year she was \u2018discovered\u2019 by National Gallery director Eric Brown through the prompting of noted Quebec folklorist Marius Barbeau and art critic Harold Mortimer Lamb.She was invited cast to participate in the National Gallery's Exhibition of Canadian West Coast Art, and while passing through Toronto met three members of the Group of Seven - ALY.Jackson, Arthur Lismer and Lawren Harris, Though suitably impressed by the first two, she was completely enraptured by Harris's work and he became a close friend.Carr returned to her casel with renewed enthusiasm: her own painting immediately took on the qualities of Harris's spiritual expressions through landscape art, and it wasn\u2019t long before her canvases bore their own distinct trademarks of washboard-like rippled skies, halos of light, solid green masses for fir trees and an almost Cubist-like handling of her home province's lush vegetation.Though this new course also meant a general veering away {rom the native subjects and à more concentrated focus on the great forests of the Pacific Northwest, Carr was so dedicated to this newlound style of painting that she even revisited some of her old subjects and repainted them in her dynamic new style.As a result, this important exhibition is filled with a well-balanced mixture of totems and forests, as well as the inevitable overlap.Carr's images of strange, wooden faces popping up out of the foliage, asf struggling for light against the thick \u201d with Montreal firefighters.\u201d.make fire safety a priority.any action.During his 2001 election campaign, Gérald Tremblay promised to improve fire safety in Montreal and pledged \u201ca new era of partnership He promised to Since then, the Tremblay administration and the executive committee member responsible for public security, Claude Dauphin, have not taken MR.MAYOR, IS FIRE SAFETY REALLY A PRIORITY FOR YOU?Not all areas have equal access to fire protection; The Montreal firefighters urge all citizens to call the Mayor to find out if fire safety is really one of his priorities.Mayor's Office: 514 872-3101 The many consequences of the Tremblay- Zampino administration\u2019s inaction on this issue include the following: The East and West Island sectors are especially at risk; The Montreal Fire Department is continually forced to pull resources from central fire stations to support those in the east and west.Le © = I A Emily Carr in her studio.rot mma vegetation can be seen as à fitting allegory for a pater whose light continues to shine through the ages.Emily Carr: New Perspectives on à Canadian Icon\u2019 continues through Sept.23 in the Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion ofthe Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 1379 Sherbrooke St.W.Into: 514-285-2000.«Wayne Larsen is the author of AY.Jackson: A Love tor the Land\u2019 The finest retirement lifestyle is available at.@ Westmount\u2019s @ gon A Quality Lifestyle Good living comes with age.Why not retire in per- feet elegance and ultimate comfort?Our caring staff will tend to all your needs Please call us regarding our affordable rentals: 4430 St.Catherine West, Westmount 935-1212 8 www.placekensington.com venta res me eva Tras aren versa sure Svea A J *y Ê a LUE = Affiliated Real Estate Agents 1% ACROSS CANADA* =- Chartered Real Estate Broker TO AW ; \u201cod LATTISTATK N G |] DICOUNCE Version oe À CLUB cs\", (*Out of 12,000 Agents 2005) MERTASE, Joan Prévost Jill Prévost, B.com.con: 591-0804 Office: 934-1818 ce: 915-1696 @ \u201cWHETHER BUYING OR SELLING, OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU IS.RESULTS! www.joanprevost.com 4 or >; CLARKE - Location!
