The sky fell in that day! Pierre Trudeau turned over in his grave! The Parti Québécois, which is dedicated to separating from Quebec, has never been popular in Westmount, in fact when PQ leader René Lévesque renamed Dorchester Boulevard after himself, Westmount Mayor Mae Cutler steadfastly refused to change the street signs on the east side of Atwater Street.With all due respect to local author Hugh Garner, there has never been any communion between the \"Two Solitudes\u2019 here.Until now, that is.Generations of Westmounters have been raised from childhood to adultery in an English-only community, but a recent observation that French has all but overtaken English as the lingo franca of Westmount should come as little surprise to anyone who has studied the names in the Exanimer\u2019s monthly list of real estate transfers.Month after month, the majority of home sales show people with English names selling to people with French names.This means that sooner or later, those with French names will outhumber those with English names, all the stuffy Westmount stereotypes will be broken, and there 1s even a chance that the main telephone line at Westmount City Hall may one day be answered in French.Furthermore, a respected economist has pointed out that dropping the letter U from Westmount would save several dollars per year in printer's ink.Political resistance to the francais-ization of Westmount has always been popular here.The late Pierre Bourque was sent packing when he tried to incorporate Westmount into his \u2018Big Island, Big City\u2019 concept, which would have made Westmount a borough in a French-speaking megacity.Luckily, that never happened! Instead, Westmount became fully bilingual naturally, all on its own.We didn't need legislation; we didn\u2019t need referendums.all we needed was to answer nature\u2019s call and let it take its course, and voila \u2014 a modern city where mutual respect runs rampant and everyone is respectful of each other's linguistic heritage.We can only reiterate the words of World War One General Charles de Gaul, who once famously belched from the balcony of Westmount City Hall, \u201cVive le difference!\u201d \u201cOkay, I'll bite.How many upwardly mobile young WASPs does it take to change a lightbulb?\u201d LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A big room with a view To the editor: 1 would like to add my two cents to the un-neighbourly dogfight going on in what the below-Sherbrooke crowd likes to call \u201cUpper Westmount.\u201d There has been a lot of squabbling over roof extensions and blocked views up here in our neck of the woods, and it is not about to stop \u2014 because 1 now have in my grubby little paws a nice fat permit from the City of Westmount that allows me to build not only one but TWO storeys above my existing non-heritage abode.And if my neighbours are worried about the loss of their view, wait \u2018til they find out that my architectural plans call for floor-to- ceiling windows and, although 1 don't see how it\u2019s anybody's business, I often lounge around the house wearing nothing but patent leather shoes and a bow-tie.That'll give them a view! And why shouldn't I do it?I spent years scratching and clawing my way to the very fringes of my profession in order to afford this joint, and now, three alimonies and two malpractice suits later, I'm finally able to spruce the place up bit to impress the babes.If any of my neighbours don't like it, they can get a permit of their own.If not, they can kiss by big fat.Well, you get the idea.Dr.H.Z.Hackenbush Edgell! Road Nuts to this! To the editor: Having chanced upon scraps of the local paper discarded rather unceremoniously in public refuse receptacles, here and there as it might be, I have followed with no small degree of interest recent accounts of the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called illegal practice of feeding indigenous wildlife in local parks, and I feel compelled to voice my utter contempt for this grossly unfair and misguided legislation.While our elected officials and law enforcement officers have stated their positions most eloquently and in no uncertain terms, it is my opinion that they have, in their obvious exuberance and self- congratulatory righteousness, happened to overlook that which is without doubt the most important factor in this unfortunate equation \u2014 the actual members of the wildlife population themselves.As a proud native of Westmount, I must admit to a fondness for the diet and lifestyle incumbent to this excellent community.Rather than existing on the bland fare of my rural cousins, 1 for one prefer to gnaw on a peanut, imported from sunnier climes, the core of a jolly apple, or \u2014 most delectable of all \u2014 a salty piece of popcorn, tossed to me in the spirit of kindness and charity by a fellow Westmounter.1 say, let the legislators grub through the rancid topsoil for tiny, unsavoury morsels.| demand to continue enjoying the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed.Sparky Squirrel, Westmount Park Send us your letters The Examiner welcomes letters from readers on issues of local interest.Letters should be sent to

of anada.The self-confessed city council junkie was awarded the country\u2019s top honour for volunteerism, following several years of attending every city council meeting in Westmount and in most other municipalities across the island.Wedge was reportedly very late for the induction ceremony in Ottawa, having stopped along the way to sit in on town council meetings in Alexandria, Maxville, Moose Creek, and Casselman.\u201d Twenty-Five Years Ago April 2, 1984 FIREHOUSE BAN ENDS: \u201clt was all a big misunderstanding.\u201d That's how Examiner publisher John W.Sancton describes the 27- week-long ban on Examiner reporters from the Westmount Fire Station which led to a bitter \u2018freedom of the press\u2019 crusade by the newspaper.The ban ended this week when the Chief of Protective Services angrily clarified his position.\u2018I never said (Examiner reporters) couldn't come into the fire station,\u201d he said.\u2018I only said they couldn't use our washroom.Examiner people are notorious for not washing their hands afterwards and leaving the place in a mess.It\u2019s disgusting.He also pointed out that the fire pole would also be off limits to Examiner staffers in the future.\u201d Forty-Five Years Ago April 6, 1964 BOMBS AWAY\" \u201cWestmount City Hall was once again the target of an FLQ bomber this week, but this time police were able to catch the culprit without much trouble.The would-be bomber said he planned to plant an explosive device in the basement of the building, then phone the main switchboard to warn occupants and give them time to evacuate.But when he reached the nearest phone booth and realized he did not have a dime, he delivered the bomb threat in person \u2014 providing City Hall staff with a vivid description for police, who arrested the man on Sherbrooke Street five minutes later.\u2018Gosh.and to think they want to separate!\u201d a bystander was heard to exclaim.\u201d Seventy Years Ago April 4,1939 GRANNY WARS: \"Two constables from the Westmount police force were released from hospital with only slight injuries this Tuesday past following an altercation of alarming proportions involving several elderly Westmount matrons, some of whom were said to be visibly intoxicated, according to a group of unwitting witnesses which included several rather startled children, after being summoned to quell the fracas, which reportedly developed when an unruly group of older ladies climbed aboard the No.24 tram as it stopped to take on passengers are the intersection of Sherbrooke street and Victoria avenue, and began striking the driver and several of their fellow passengers with handbags, umbrellas and other accessories.\u201d ADOPTION DAY Sundav April 5th - 10 a.m.to 3 p.m.DAVID ENGELS ma.Psychotherapist / Psychothérapeute Misspelled graffiti concerns authorities Dropkick Murphy Westmount Public Security officers are adding a new weapon to their arsenal in the ongoing war against gratfiti \u2014 a dictionary.Following several complaints from local schools, PSOs are now keeping a sharp eye out for spelling mistakes in the graffiti sprayed or drawn onto public and private property around the city.\u201cIt's becoming a real problem,\u201d PSO Lise Ouellette told The Examiner this week.\u201cSome of the spelling 1s absolutely atrocious.And if it remains in view of our students \u2014 especially the more impressionable kids in elementary school \u2014 it could have a negative effect on their overall literacy.\u201d The most common crror, Oucllette pointed out, is the repeated use of the letter Z in place of S, as in \u2018gangz\u2019 or \u2018boyz \u201cAnd there are many, many others,\u201d she said.Public Works crews are kept busy cleaning up the vandalism, but some graffiti is left for several days before they get around to it.In such cases, PSOs have been issued telt-tipped markers and are instructed to correct the misspellings wherever possible.\u201c17s just a temporary measure.\u201d Ouellette explained.\u201cBut at least if it has to stay visible to the public for a period of time, it will be spelled correctly.\u201d On a losing streak Station 12 police are again warning residents to be careful when leaving their cars unattended, following a rash of vehicle break-ins in lower Westmount.The latest victim, according to a police spokesman, was a hockey fan who stopped at a store on her way to the Bell Centre.\u201cThe woman left her two tickets for that nights Canadiens game on the dashboard of her car, in plain view,\u201d he said.\u201cShe returned a few minutes later to find her windshield had been smashed \u2014 and was shocked to find not two but four Habs tickets on the dash.\u201d ee, J à LA STERILISATION:
