Naturally, this has inspired some barbed quips around the other campaign offices, mostly to the effect that, contrary to his name and slogan, he has neither arrived nor been present in Westmount.It's too early to offer any significant insight into independents Régent Millette, David Sommer Rovins and Ronald Andrew Wattie \u2014 all newcomers to the scene who emerged from the clearing dust of last Monday's nomination deadline.As the campaign heats up, we will hear a lot more from most of these candidates \u2014 especially those representing the major parties \u2014 and will definitely learn more about them at next Wednesday's Meet the Candidates evening at Westmount High School.Time for mainline federal candidates to answer questions! To the editor: The tederal by-election to be held on Sept.8 in the riding of Westmount-Ville Marie imposes important decisions for Anglophone, Allophone, and other Quebec minority voters who live in this essentially English speaking riding.It is virtually impossible to form a majority government in Canada without winning 50 seats in Quebec.Therefore, all of the leading candidates contesting the by-election represent political parties that hold views tending to court nationalist Quebecers over committed Canadian loyalists.Therein lays the dilemma for the voters of Westmount- Ville Marie.\u2019 Most of the eligible voters are part of the one million minority Quebecers who live under the province's system of always denied, but open.state-sanctioned, discrimination.This prejudice is imposed through the abrogation of language, sign.and education rights, not to forget the squeezing of access to English language services.It is quite evident that the public and stated positions of these candidates on the rights of minority Quebecers are of primary importance in the decision of choosing a candidate.The question which these candidates for Parliament must answer clearly before the voting begins is: Are Quebec's dis- criminated-against minorities, as full citizens of Canada, not entitled to live in Quebec with all the full and inherent rights of being Canadian?If the answer is \u2018yes\u2019, then what are they going to pledge to do in order to rectify this untenable situation?If the answer is \u2018no\u2019, then why should we honour these candidates with our precious votes?Is it not disingenuous that the federal government promotes national bilingualism and affirmative hiring programmes for French Canadians while Quebec is officially unilingual, French, and employs very few Anglophones, Allophones, and visible minorities?Elections in Canada are definitely not simple contests.However, considering that most federal parties recognize and voted for the \u2018Quebecois Nation), why.then.have they blatantly neglected the diminished status of Quebec's minorities, and 1s this not the perfect opportunity to 0 this serious omission?Other national issues aside, these are the urgent questions facing the voters of Westmount-Ville Marie.Silence on these subjects from the Liberals, Conservatives, and the NDP cannot be endorsed.The Bloc Québécois is exempted; we already know where they stand.Allen E.Nutik Redfern Avenue Leader of AffiliationQuebec rt PN er bt pe mo pp © \u2018J 4 Thursday, August 21st, 2008 www.westmountexaminer.com Vestatount

gathered at City Hall Monday night for a consultation meeting on the proposed construction blasting at 9 Gordon Crescent, and most left with a sense of reassurance.What they got was a firm commitment from the contractor to keep the inconvenience to a minimum, plus a detailed analysis of the possible effects of blasting on their homes from independent blasting expert Louis Denoncourt, who was brought in by the City.\u2018He (Denoncourt) explained the mechanics of blasting, with the potential for damage, said one neighbour who came out of the meeting much happier than when he arrived.'l trusted him \u2014 1 left with a sense that there was no point pursuing something that is not that risky.\u201d from the archives 1935-2008 \u2018Twenty-Five Years Ago August 25, 1983: BIKERS BEWARE: \u201cWestmount\u2019s MUC police handed out 846 tickets to bicyclists during June and July in a crackdown that is now becoming known outside the community.The number of tickets is only slightly less than half the number issued by the entire MUC force during the special island-wide campaign in May, when 1,948 were handed out.Local police sent so many cyclists to city hall for licenses this summer that the city ran out of license plates at one point and quickly had to order more.\u201d Thirty-Five Years Ago August 23, 1973: ART THEFTS: \u201cThe three separate thefts of paintings reported in last week's Examiner from homes on Wood, Carleton and Westmount avenues are part of a wave of art thefts noted recently from various parts of Montreal island, it was learned this week.A fourth painting was reported stolen from 4862 Westmount avenue, where the thieves broke open a window.In all four cases, the works of art were cut from their frames and carried off\u201d Forty-Five Years Ago August 23, 1963: SLOGAN PAINTERS: \u201cTwo Montreal youths who went on a slogan-painting spree in mount face court here this morning ged with painting separatist slogans on a local mailbox and on the walls of three buildings, including Temple Emanu-El.Lawrence Poitras, attorney for the city of Westmount, referred to the vandalism as acts of cowardice committed against a sleeping city.There is no question here of condemning individuals for their political ideas and beliefs,\u2019 he said, \u2018a courageous man preaches aloud his convictions.One who benefits from darkness to propagate his ideas is like a bandit and deserves to be punished.\u201d 1330 Greene Ave.Westmount @ 4933-6781 How to speak to kids about uncomfortable subjects Around Westmount Marilynn Vanderstaay Members and guests of The Rotary Club of Westmount learned about the uncomfortable but all-too-necessary topic of abuse and violence prevention for kids when guest speaker Allan Schulman dropped by a recent luncheon meeting.Schulman, of the KidzSafe Foundation, explained that pedophiles always have a plan and know exactly what to do and say to trap a child to go with them.Using lines such as \u201cMy dog is missing.can you help me find him?\u201d they target children they \u201clike\u201d and go after them.\u201cThese are tricky people, usually someone the child knows,\u201d said Schulman.\u201cThey don\u2019t look like pedophiles.They are friends and family who blend into the child\u2019s community.Eighty per cent of abusers are known to the child as a teacher, a youth club leader, a Sunday school teacher, or even an aunt or an uncle.\u201d The aim of the Foundation is to remove the prey by talking to kids about what the predators say and do, and how they should respond.They have a video they show to kids in elementary schools.He also speaks to parents about how to talk to their children to prepare them, and what to look for.\u201cThe more children know, the safer they will be,\u201d he said.For more information about KidzSafe go to www.kidzsafe.org or phone Schulman at 514-702-4930.Walk in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada Westmount has lost several residents to ovarian cancer in

Road.Westmount High to host candidates evening You probably already know about the Meet the Candidates Evening that will take place at Westmount High School next Wednesday, Aug.27.What you might not know is that Principal Michael Cristofaro is the man who made that happen.Demonstrating once again that Westmount High is still Westmount's public high school, Cristofaro made it possible for the

Although I was studying education at McGill, history was my major during my undergraduate studies so, needless to say, 1 was elated at the possibility of learning firsthand what my district was like all those years ago.| believe this eclectic wonder is called \u2018oral history\u2019 Once at the portal in question, we were beckoned in for tea, an invitation 1 attribute to my associate\u2019s easy familiarity with the ALL TYPES OF ROOF TODAY IT'S TOPSEAL!

designer Genevieve Beauchamp, who has been teaching drawing and painting at the Visual Arts Centre since 1997.With youngsters divided into groups working on their respective pieces, McLaughlin credits Beauchamp\u2019s overarching vision for the harmony evoked through the final result.According to Beauchamp, a major piece of the exhibition was sourced through the Visual Arts Center's outreach project with the Centre Jeuneusse de Laval, found at the back of the gallery.\u201cIt was made by 12 boys \u2014 boys who never realized that art can be a way to express themselves positively instead of what they know.It was a great experience for the teacher who did it because when they came to the vernissage on the opening day, it had a very positive effect on them.\u201d Beauchamp fondly remembers one of the boys saying he was sure he would be bored with the experience beforehand but definitely was not by the end of it, thanking the organizers for the opportunity.+ Expo 2038 remains

contemporary electronica performed against the backdrop of the park's natural environment.\u201cI wanted to work with the sound of the park itself,\u201d said Shemie at his home studio on the Plateau.Rather than competing with the ambient noise of the outdoor setting, both live and recorded natural sound is incorporated into the show.Though in essence a computer-gencrated production,
