Needless to sav, those responsible for tnm- mg away the veterans should be red, not only for subjecting merchants to the possibility of a dangerous boveott and the inherent embarrassment, but also for blatant misensitivity and lack of common sense.After all, we hold a certain reverence for the Legion's annual fundraising efforts.This is not some kids\u201d hockey team selling chocolate bars \u2014 not that there's anvthing wrong with that \u2014 bul rather an observance of respect and gratitude for those who gave their lives in defence of this country That 1s à sol- cm and sacred tradition that should be given priority over other nutatives when it comes to selling the ssmbolic poppy a few weeks per vear al malls and other public spaces across the countn The fact that Carrefour Angrignon eventu- allv backed off on Tuesday aud granted pernus- sion to the veterans to sell their poppies 1s not the point here, What is most unbehevable is 1 race that the same thing happens every year! Last year\u2019s villains were the management of Place Alexis Nihon, who seemed blissfully unaware of lessons learned in years past when thev denied access to the local Legion.Again, they relented the instant they realized the media were poised to tear them to shreds.You can be sure they won't be making the same mistake again this vear, as they are no doubt aware that they are being watched very closely.The rules are simple, but for those belligerent few who choose to remain ignorant, they are worth repeating: If vou own a business, store or mall, vou allow displays of kosher food on Jewish holidays and/or you allow veterans to sell poppies in November.If vou don't, vou will end up vilified in the mainstream media as part of a vicious public relations nightmare that won't end until you finally cave.Those The glass is half full on Bethune arena option To the editor: This is in response to Catherine Beaubien, Bram Gordon and Councillor Patrick Martin.whose letters mm the Examiner and the ludependent and comments in council seem to speak with \u201cone voice.\u201d To all.acknowledge vour reservations with respect to the Bethune Option.but must disagree.Before addressing these concerns, | wish to express how disheartened we are that vou have missed the broader and more important point upon which this concept was introduced by its 20 authors.Whether built at Bethune.on the WAG.upon surplus lands belonging to the MUHC or elsewhere.the splitting of the Arena-Pool Project into two components.wnnelv arena and swimming facilities, opens the door to value that we are currently squandering, Mavor Trent has openly acknowledged in Council that we would be spending twice the current mdustry standard, if his plan was to proceed.As a result, there would remam msuffi- cient funds for a much-needed indoor pool.WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM We're just a bunch of spontaneous guys who spontaneously got together to ask you guys to spontaneously leave this construction site.who insist on challenging the poppy tradition each vear underscore the wisdom of Albert Einstein, who once said, \u201cThe definition of insanity 1s doing the same thing over and over In response to the questions posed and comments made, | offer the following: - l'ami not m a position to know the exact needs of Public Works, nor.1 suspect, is Mr.Cordon.All existing garage areas projected to be removed would be replaced: - How manv millions it wonld cost to enlarge the current tunnel and provide a pedestrian access is open to debate.However, the $10 million figure proposed by Patrick Martin seetus arbitrary aud consistent with his \u201cglass half empty\u201d ethos.Furthermore.| do not believe that CP would deny our request for modifications to their mfrastructure.which are minor in both scope and cost in comparison to the substantial works at the nearby NJUHC site: \u2018The future Ville Marie Expressway project would have to render our Bethune land all but useless.before affecting our proposal.which sits at the rear: The concept proposed, at $34.5 nullion.has already factored m the cost of the re-con- struction of affected garage facilities and a $5 million contingency for additional raibway costs and potential soil contamination.The latter should be addressed irrespective of the arena component being situated on Bethune and in good conscience.should not be passed on to future generations of Westmounters; As for the S70 million price tag suggested by Councillor Martin.[might suggest that he successfully conclude his own Arena budgeting dilennna.prior to costing the concepts of again and expecting different results.\u201d There may be few sacred things left in this country \u2014 but Remembrance Day is still one of them.others, who have more experience and more applicable professional credentials.To discount.dismiss and disrespect the ideas of neighbours.without proper study or consideration, bodes 1ll for the future of Westmount.If elected as Mayor.1 will confront this phenomenon and will alwavs look at things as if the \u201cglass is half full.\u201d David Ludmer, Grosvenor Avenue Continued on page 5 bb SEND US YOUR LETTERS!

Mayor Peter Trent recently pointed out at a council meeting that the MUC had postponed signing a 15-year lease in a new police/ public security/fire station after residents blocked the project in a public register.\u201d TWENTY YEARS AGO OCTOBER 24, 1991: VOTER APATHY: \u201cDo people care?When Westmount's record crop of city council hopefuls faced the public Monday night at the only all-candidates meeting of the election, they had only about 250 people to woo.Many who attended were already campaign workers.\u201cThere\u2019s so much apathy out there, it\u2019s an amazing phenomenon, said candidate Karin Marks this week.With the advance poll this Sunday and only ten days left until some 13,000 Westmounters are eligible to cast ballots Nov.3, others are echoing her feelings.\u2018Other than Cedar, there are really no issues,\u2019 said retiring mayor May Cutler after listening to the 17 council candidates at the forum held in Victoria Hall by the Westmount Municipal Association.\u2018Everybody wants the same thing.\u2019 In brief speeches, almost all candidates called for budget restraints, increased security, traffic review, MUC cost control and at least modest renovations to the library.\u201d »»» Continued from page 4 No groups should be favoured to the detriment of others To the editor: The letter to the editor by Peter Weldon and Marilyn Gillies on Oct.20 reveals a few interesting facts about some negotiations between City Hall and Selwyn House.Concerning such negotiations, if | am correctly informed.they took place between City Hall authorities and Selwyn House representatives, with respect to the arena project.on March 12, 2010.However, it seems that an OFFICIAL communication as to the motives and the outcome of such dealings was never released.Why not make Westmounters officially aware of the reasons why \u201cprivate\u201d negotiations were held by \u201cpublic\u201d administrators WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM witha \u201cprivate\u201d school, in connection with the construction of a \u201cpublic\u201d recreation center?If what stated in the above-mentioned letter is correct, the impression is that providing Selwyn House with a rink, for almost full-time use, at a cost to them still undefined, looks like a privilege.And such a choice would result, among other things, in our community being deprived of a recreational facility catering, with a wide variety of activities, to the majority of Westmount fanulies.No groups should be favoured to the detriment of others.There is no doubt that a new recreation facility is needed and must be built, and that the majority of Westmount citizens welcome the initiative, However, it would be fair.democratic and, above all, far-sighted to create a memorable community center which would properly serve Westmonnters of all ages and status.Silvana V.Bonuglia, Lansdowne Avenue ESTATE AUCTION SALE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 - 9AM 20 DUCKETT ST., LES COTEAUX, QC J7X 1L5 To be sold : The majority contents of the residence.Check photos on website.Sale inside not to be missed!!
