furthermore, it does not have to be completed until March 31, 2015.There is ample time, therefore, for City Council to address the real needs Dir Leade with./erruques de Qualité, 1% 9 Order Quality Wigs, un.5847 Cote-des-Neiges, Montréal + (514 581-0403 4915-A St-Charles, Pierrefonds» (514) 677-9447 1.877.676.7337 www.OrderQualityWigs.com RL Hada Wigs® and legitimate concerns of Westmount residents.Good governance depends on this.Fred Girvan, Victoria Avenue Carol Pass, de Maisonneuve Blvd.Garbage in, garbage out Dear Editor, Thank you for your continued coverage of the challenges facing the Westmount community from various mega-projects, both outside and within the City.Your editoral was a much needed reminder of the first principles of urban planning and development: the need to respect and protect the human scale of residential neighbourhoods.If Westmount has won a National Award for being a green community, it is not because it is over-run by bunker-style, mega hockey rinks and undergound garages.LR LJ [ 1517 avenue des Pins ouest - Montréal (Québec) H3G 1B3 |) (métro Sherbrooke et autobus 144 ou métro Guy et autobus 165/535) | (514) 934-0596 Our Mayor and Council seem determined to hide behind a completely\"one- sided April survey.Please check with any high school student.They are constantly being reminded in their quantitative methods class : \u201cgarbage- in, garbage-out\u201d.Whatever you put into a mathematical regression determines the results, high levels of confidence about what is being inferred notwithstanding.The information package that accompanied the April survey resorted to part- truths and scare-mongering.A non-random, self-selected group of respondents did the rest.The survey does not reflect the will of the people.It behooves City Council to not use it as a mandate to \u201cdamn the torpedoes, full speed ahead\u201d Sincerely, Gotham Hooja, de Maisonneuve Blvd, ta 389199 5673 Monkland N.D.G.1482-3347 Es 0102 + 12quaaoN Sepsiny | WON IAUIUTEXIIUNOUNSIM MMM ll 6 Thursday, November 4, 2010 www.westmountexaminer.com St.Margaret's integrated into CSSS Cavendish Wayne Larsen - Major integration process invol An three local long-term care facilities has Westmount\u2019s St.Margaret\u2019s residence merged with CHSLD St.Andrew\u2019s and Father Dowd into the CSSS Cavendish \u2014 an administrative move that officials say will make things much easier for both residents and staff.The merger, which came into effect on Oct.1, was decided last June and officially ratified at a public meeting at CHSLD headquarters downtown on Sept.29.\u201cBoard members are very mindful of the rich heritage of our homes, so deciding to relinquish our independent status was a tough call,\u201d said CHSLD board president Fergus V.Keyes.\u201cHowever, all things considered, it is clear that merging with a larger, stronger organization like CSSS Cavendish \u2014 which shares our vision as well as our unrelenting commitment to the English-speaking community \u2014 is the best way to carry on the legacy built by generations of dedicated employees, volunteers and benefactors.\u201d The decision to integrate the three long- term care homes into CSSS Cavendish was reached after an extensive study carried out Centre D'Accueil St.Margaret on Hillside Avenue is now a part of CSSS Cavendish.Photo: Wayne Larsen by independent consultants commissioned by the CHSLD board\u2019s strategic planning committee.It was deemed the \u201cbest path forward\u201d if the CHSLD was to maintain its fundamental mission to \u201cserve those who wish to receive their services in the English language.\u201d The merge is expected to have minimal impact on the services provided by the St.Margaret's home and Day Centre, which has been a fixture on Terry Evans Real estate Broker 514-933-6077 WESTMOUNT: Bright, affordable 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo, steps to Greene Ave.bike path and transportation.Wood floors, 2 balconies and spectacular views of the mountain!

learned that, yet again, our veterans had been denied the opportunity to sell their poppies in two Montreal malls and a grocery store.I'm astounded at the sheer depth of ignorance and disrespect.And especially because this very thing happened last year to widespread Montreal outcry.This year, the fire of public backlash was doused almost immediately.As soon as the vaguest whisper of it began, officials blurted out an apology, threw open the doors to poppy sales and whipped together a very nice PR move in the form of a sizable donation to the veterans.Of course, you can sell poppies here, they said.It was all a miscommumnica- tion.They each had their reasons.The veterans accepted the apology much more graciously than 1 can.Too little too I f you happened to hear a large sonic 1 7 T r r r late, | say.Suuure, it\u2019s totally understandable that you'd overlook the importance of a tradition that\u2019s been happening oh, only about 90 years.It's not like it\u2019s carved into our national identity or anything.After all, it\u2019s not like anyone died is it?1 remember when this very thing happened last year, someone theorized that the reason veterans are routinely turned away is because people in management positions are younger now.They are of a different generation and the gravity of what war represents isn\u2019t that fresh in their minds.What a load.Fresh in their minds?Afghanistan ring a bell?It\u2019s a weak argument to say youth negates respect.There are children participating in Remembrance Day ceremonies in recent years who have lost immediate relatives.They get it.Why can\u2019t a company run by actual adults grasp the concept?I've also heard this: Remembrance Day is just not that important to the Francophones in Quebec.Really?Tell that to the Courcy family from St.Hyacinthe or the Audets from Montreal or the Renauds from Alma - who all lost loved ones in the ongoing war in Afghanistan.Tell that to the families of the 24 other fallen Quebecers.And the many more praying for their sons and daughters to come home safely.I really want to know what goes through the mind of the decision- makers who say no to the annual poppy campaign.Hey guys, thanks for the personal sacrifice and the bravery and the freedom and all that, but we need to make room for our pre-Christinas sales.Mind- boggling.A poppy isn\u2019t a meaningless accessory.It\u2019s a symbol of support, of thanks - a quiet offering of respect and pride and peace.Its the very reason any of us are free to cven pursue our livelihoods in the first place.It\u2019s so disheartening that there should be a seemingly yearly struggle for our veterans to set up shop and sell poppies.It's impor- tant to all of us and to our history that we are reminded of what November 11th means.We should be proud that our veterans want to be out there in the first place.Still fighting in their own way even now to make sure we don\u2019t bury our history under present-day trivialities.To those jerks whose immediate reaction was to deny our vets the opportunity \u2014 you need to grow a conscience, step out of your corner office for a few moments and talk to a veteran this year.Maybe even buy a poppy and have them pin it on your lapel.In all honesty, as much as I'd love for that to happen I can\u2019t help but secretly hope they miss a few times with that pin.SYMPHONIA ÎLE-DES-SOEURS UNRIVALLED ELEGANCE Just minutes from downtown Montréal, Symphonia takes the fine art of living to new heights.- Iconic towers with maritime and and urban facades -

Annual Lansdowne pumpkin- | carve went off again this year, following a heated competition in 2009.I was reluctant to cover this important cultural event because the adults involved are starting to lose their minds.Instead of handing out candy to children they argue about who carves a better pumpkin.This year saw a slight reduction in the number of pumpkins submitted for competition but an increase in the levels of creativity.Everyone agreed that your traditional pumpkin was not going to cut it so we saw some interesting, if unconventional, entries.Participants this year included Mama, Papa, Grandpa Bill, Uncle Shereef, Unky T Bone, Dan, and Genevieve.Some guy named Fred came by but he outright refused to carve a pumpkin, complaining of biased treatment from last year\u2019s competition.514 874-8483 Sherbrooke and Victoria branch 4849 Sherbrooke St W www.rbcadvicecentre.com More hours.More choice.Now open Saturdays.With more branch hours, the Internet, and telephone

sport.\u201d The clear winner this year was Unky T Bone whose multi-media incorporated entry Iphone Eyes was an unconventional show stopper.\u201cThe kids loved it,\u201d said T Bone.\u201cIt wasn't as popular with the adults but 1 think the adults are a little out of touch.This is clearly the way of the future.I'm kind of a pumpkin carving revolutionary.\u201d In second place was Papa, with his entry The Little Pumpkin Crusher.It was obvious as the night drew on that Papa took the defeat pretty hard.Claiming to have Googled word pumpkin more than 18,000 times in the past 12 months, he had assumed his victory was all but assured.\u201cAnd I still could only come up with second place,\u201d he said.\u201c1 just never saw the Iphone coming.How do you compete with a TV screen when you have a bunch of sugar shocked kids as your judge?\u201d wT Due to poor vote tallies third place was harder to gauge but our best guess gives it to Genevieve for her sideways entry Teeth and Nose.Honourable mentions go to Uncle Shereef for his untitled entry and to Dan for his weird and scary entry Toothpick Teeth.All in all everyone agreed that the 2010 Lansdowne Pumpkin Carve was a success.Trick or Treaters and frigid parents alike all stopped to take part in the event.Opinions were given and congratulations offered and not a little arguing was to be heard as people lingered away eager for their next Halloween score.Even my brother Marlowe got in the game, helping Grandpa Bill with his first pumpkin in 125 years.\u201cMarlowe, why are we doing this anyway?\u201d Grandpa asked, struggling to get the guts out of his pumpkin.\u201cBecause pumpkin carving is awesome\u201d Marlowe shot back.\u201cAnd I'm the Pumpkin Commander.\u201d ison, ie SE HE æ \u201cme SP 0.\u2014 æ- Cpl TREE ne

recently added yet another athletic award to an already impressive list of accomplishments \u2014 the women\u2019s world tennis title in the 80-and-over category at the recent ITF super-seniors championship in Antalya, Turkey.Although originally an Olympic skier, the energetic Westmounter has long been a force to reckon with on the tennis court, racking up several victories over the years.At Antalya last week, Asch made her debut in the over-80 category by besting Hungarian champion Erzsebet Szentirmay 6-0,6-0 in the finals to take the title.The two later teamed up to participate in the doubles competition, which they won as well.Rosemarie Asch proudly displays her gold medal.TLL PR i J 2 À Di i \u2019 The large Rotary birthday cake, which also featured the City of Westmount crest,

Historical Association president Doreen Lindsay also attended, along with someone who was perhaps Rotary\u2019s youngest luncheon guest to date, her two- year-old grandson, Lucas.After lunch, following a welcoming address by current president Merle Binmore, members and guests had coffee and birthday cake as Rotarian Haagen Kierulf gave a detailed illustrated history of the Westmount club.Entitled \u2018Helping Hands, Keirulf\u2019s talk traced the origins of the Rotary movement in the United States and England before describing the Jocal branch\u2019s origins around the table in a home on Lansdowne Avenue in May 1930.From there, the club gathered members and had its charter meeting and official inception at a lavish, $2-per-plate dinner at the Windsor .Hotel on Oct.24, 1930.Kierulf\u2019s presentation chronicled key events right up to the present day, including the construction of Manoir Westmount in 1979 and: the traditional garage sale in the Westmount arena
