Soulanges Elementary is one of the smallest schools in Quebec, but for the 23 students at the school located in St.Telesphore near the Ontario border, it's not a small world, thanks to today's technology. Alycia Ambroziak Special The two-room Lester B. Pearson School Board school house is equipped with 10 laptops and six desktop computers, almost one for every student. "We got the equipment at mid-term last year and it's been great," said Marie-Helene Townshend who, along with David Patterson, teaches at the school located about 80 kilometers southwest of Montreal. "Our service is a bit slow because we have to get it off a microwave tower instead of through a direct connection which is not available here - but it works well. "We may be a small school in an out of the way place but we are connected to the world," she added. Karilane Gauthier, the only grade 6 student at the school, said using the computer is one of her favourite things to do at school. "I like the power points and being able to do research," said 12-year-old Karilane who plans to go toWestwood Jr. in St.Lazare next year. "I've been to Westwood a few times and I'm not nervous about going to a big school ," said Karilane who has two brothers now attendingWestwood Sr. "It will be a big change from this school, but because of my brothers, I know what to expect." Karilane has been a student The 23 students at the school located in St. Telesphore near the Ontario border, A two room school house at the Soulanges school since Grade 3. "I love it here because we all know each other and the teachers have a lot of time for us," she said. Grade 4 student Matt Grenier-Hebert transferred to the school this year. "He was in an English school in Valleyfield where it was 80 per cent English and 20 per cent French," said Matt's mother, Laetitia Grenier. "But we wanted him to transition into a more French milieu in case he goes to a French high school - and here, it's half and half - and it's also closer to our home in Riviere Beaudette. Except for the modern play structures at the front of the white clapboard school, a passerby could be forgiven for thinking he was back in 1919 when the then one-room school was built for a total * SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 3 555102912 cost of $1,900. Over the years, additions were made to the school - electricity was installed in 1952, a telephone was installed in 1968 and a flush toilet in 1969 - and in 1996, a second room was built,thanks to fund-raising efforts and a lot of work by parents. The school is now divided into the junior section, housing 12 kindergarten students to grade 2 students and the senior section for the 11 grade 3 to 6 students. Patterson began teaching at the school just this year. "I applied for the job and I love it," said Patterson as he prepared for a meet-theteacher potluck supper at the school. Patterson, who lives in Pointe Claire, said he doesn't mind the commute. "I never hit any traffic jams because I am going against the traffic into the city," he said as some of the children in the junior section swept the floor while others put away books and pencils in order to get ready for the meet-the-teacher event, at which at least one parent of each student had promised to attend. As for Townsend, she's been teaching at the school for the past seven years. "I adore it," said Townshend who lives only three houses from the school. "But you have to be prepared to do everything - teach at different levels, be the music teacher, the drama teacher as well as the gym teacher." And she added with a laugh, "You have to be ready to unclog a toilet at any given moment - that's a different kind of technology." Comment on this article at: www.westendtimes.ca

Claire, Pierrefonds, D.D.O., Dorval, Lachine, NDG, CSL, Ville St-Laurent, Mtl-West, Hampstead, Westmount, Montreal, Lasalle, Verdun, Laval NHL lockout 2012 So Michel Therrien says he feels like a caged tiger with the Lockout spoiling his déjà vu with Nos Canadiens? Gives me an idea to settle the damn thing. Let's put Bettman and Fehr in a cage with the tiger and let Therrien occupy himself with Bulldogs. Rick Moffat Sports The great team at Gordon's Goodyear (I blew out a tire on the way to CJAD's new studios the other morning) helped me come up with another suggestion: lock the commish and union heavy in the vacated CJAD studios on Fort Street and don't let them out until they have a deal. If they order food or beers, they have to pay NHL arena prices. See how fast they settle. I felt bad for Steve Begin at the Habs' first Lockout Ligue de Garage workout Monday. He was lugging his own gear on his back, carrying his own sticks, and packing a bag lunch. One of these days Begin is going to head to Alberta to skate with the Flames he hopes to spend the season with. It's guys like Begin and Darche who have the most to lose in the twilight of their careers. I've sided staunchly with the players in this Lockout, but I did have to chuckle at the humbling sight of them picking up their own pucks and carrying the bucket to their Brossard locker room. I was pleased to hear Marc Bergevin predict PK Subban will have a long career...in Montreal. Francis Bouillon will be a good influence on Habs fans' guilty pleasure. Frankie Boo acted very surprised when I asked him how he feels being paired up with Subban. "I didn't know that," he deadpanned,a week after Coach Therrien's starting point lines and d-pairs had been tweeted and dissected before anyone realized they'd been published by the Gazette inadvertently. No state secrets revealed-at best they were a coach's musings. But Bouillon admitted to me he's talked to Hal Gill about PK and is braced for the joy ride. Hope you'll give @lion_vic a follow on twitter. The multi-purpose back who inherits Brandon Whitaker's job is a "Mini-me" and also reveals a lion-heart instinct for blocking as of B-Whit did like Avon Cobourne before. During his only previous CFL 111012713 start in Edmonton,VictorAnderson showed a willingness to take some shots at opposing pass-rushers and certainly showed some agility swinging out of the backfield. Anderson is another Popp Christmas bonus discovery. When the Als' GM was home for the holidays last Christmas,he took a timeout from family to see a game in nearby Charlotte, North Carolina called the Belk Bowl. OK, so to my knowledge there's no Belk Bowl parade or as much hoopla, but Jim's found future Alouettes like this before. It's a small football world, and one of Anderson's coaches is a former player Popp coached atThe Citadel a lifetime ago. The Louisville coach gave a glowing character reference and how could he do anything but. Anderson has emerged from drug devestation that hit his mother and his father. The ghetto of Louisville betrays our image of Kentucky blue grass and sweet country air ofAmerica's finest stables. I guess everybody in Kentucky is sniffing something, because once Anderson got a whiff of horses, he fell in love. Louisville opened an opportunity to tour some of Kentucky's finest stables in his college off seasons. "I worked with the mares and the foals, so it was interesting to be around the once great racehorses that were being bred, to the top studs 111012713 in the industry. I got to go up to Claiborne Farm and that's where Secretariat was buried. It's a beautiful place." Victor laughs at my suggestion HE may be a thoroughbred. "Brandon and all the stable of backs here, I guess you could say that. I love horses. My grandmother grew up loving horses and I can remember going to the horse track with her." "I look to get a farm when I'm done with football. Get me some horses." Spoken like a future GM. Let the record show my father has hit lucky #13 on brushes with royalty in a matter of 4 months. He shook hands with Charles and posed for a shot with Camilla while in London for June's Bomber Command memorial unveiling, an occasion that also brought him within metres of the Queen, the Duke and other assorted royals bringing his blue-blood Michel Therrien count to 12. This week my father was proud to hand over a signed copy of his war memoir "Behind Enemy Lines" to Prince Edward. Edward was visiting 426 Squadron at CFB Trenton, which also houses 429 Bison Squadron and my dad's favourite haunt, the Air Force Museum. He'll gladly give you a personalized tour any Friday morning, but you better buy his book at the gift shop. If they're out of stock, he's packing copies in the trunk.

Voters in Dorval and Lachine might recognize my photo on this column as looking like one of the candidates on their ballot in the September 4 election. Yes, it is no coincidence; I ran for the Green Party of Quebec, a party full of wonderful ideas but which has never yet seen any of its candidates elected. Many people have asked me, given the slim chances of winning against a Liberal in Montreal`s West Island, why I even bothered running... I answer that one of the highpoints of the 35-day campaign was when Collegial Ste-Anne, a local CEGEP, invited myself and two other candidates (Claudelle Cyr of Quebec Solidaire and Victor Tan of the Coalition Avenir) to speak to the student population about the importance of voting. Many of the students there were eligible to vote for the first time in their lives. It was disappointing that the two main candidates (from the Liberal and Parti Quebecois) did not join us, but there was nonetheless a good exchange à trois. While I am proud of the verbal presentation that I gave in August, I give an enhanced version of it here. Some people protest that all politicians are the same and it makes no difference who gets elected to office. As a teenager, I had the pleasure of meeting and conversing with Tommy C Douglas, formerly premier of Saskatchewan from 1944- 1961 and then the first national leader of the NDP from 1961-1971. Douglas is widely credited with being the "father" of Canada's single-payer universal health care system. He fought tenaciously for many years to bring in such a system, first in Saskatchewan, and eventually across Canada. Without Douglas, Canada would today likely have a healthcare system similar to that found in the USA where an estimated 26 million citizens have no medical insurance. Douglas is also credited with many other n o t a b l e achievements, such as improvingeducation systems, rural electrifi- cation,providing state funding for the arts, and enhancingbenefits for pensioners. He did all this while balancing Saskatchewan's budget, showing how one person can make a tremendous difference in politics. John F Kennedy, President John Symon Symon says... of the USA from 1961- 1963, is another example. Kennedy took a bold stand during the 1960 presidential campaign to support the civil rights movement. He later worked with Martin Luther King to advance civil rights and effectively legitimized Afro-Americans` right to vote. Kennedy launched the drive to put a Man on the Moon which spurred numerous technological innovations from which we still benefit today. But most imp o r t a n t l y , Kennedy's adept handling of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is widely credited with having averted a nuclear war between the USA and the USSR. Such a war would likely have incurred hundreds of millions of casualties and bombed the Northern Hemisphere back into the Stone Age. The Quebec election earlier this month was very close with only a 0.7% spread in the popular vote between Download our FREE ipad APP today! 6 SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 * 39 th the winning Parti Quebecois and the losing Liberal Party. But many elections are very close; Kennedy was elected President in 1960 with only 0.2% more of the vote than his Republican rival. Douglas, as national leader of the NDP, twice lost in his own riding. A neighbour of mine- and valued political advisor-first ran for town councillor only to lose by a single vote. Let us all go to the ballot box with the assumption that the vote we cast will be the winning one. It is disturbing to hear that voter apathy is most prevalent in the 18-25 age bracket (less than 50% voted in 2008), the very age group that has the most to lose from bad decisions made today. But a recent poll at Collegial Ste-Anne indicates that 98% of the student population there actually voted on September 4! I like to think that my presentation played some role in encouraging so many young voters to exercise that right. This news in itself was a rich reward for all my efforts to get elected.

It had the worst seats in town, but we will still miss it National Film Board Theatre closes down Those of us who used to attend screenings at the National Film Board (NFB) theatre at the corner of St.Denis and de Maisonneuve never said anything good about its seats.Their weird design always gave you the impression that they were about to collapse each time Sergio Martinez Special that you sat on them.Well, those awfully designed seats are just a memory now that the NFB has closed its downtown facilities.The last show at the NFB theatre featured some of the documentaries presented by the Montreal World Film Festival. Despite the seats however, the closing of the NFB CinéRobothèque as the whole complex containing individual viewing stations, two cinemas,a movie library,and a boutique was called, is a great loss for Montreal and for film lovers.The NFB facilities became a casualty to the cuts announced last April by the federal government in its budget. In the case of the NFB the cuts amounted to almost 7 million dollars or about 10 percent of the budget allocated by Parliament to the film agency. Last June, after the NFB announced the closing of its downtown location there were some protests, letters were sent to the government and even some attempts to save the place were mentioned although they never materialized. A peaceful occupation of the complex in which two well known Montreal filmmakers took part, Philippe Falardeau and Paule Baillargeon plus a human chain around the block where the theatre was located also took place.Unfortunately none of those actions made the NFB management change its mind:as scheduled on September 3 the NFB CinéRobothèque closed its doors for good.If there is any consolation for Montreal the same fate suffered a similar facility located in Toronto, the NFB Mediatheque. An important clarification in case that someone wants to present this as an attack on the country's main francophone city or on Quebec culture, the truth is that when it comes to dismantling cultural institutions and activities this government applies an "equal opportunity clause": both French and English are equally affected. I don't know whether the cuts are also affecting the updating of the NFB's web site, because last time I checked right before I wrote this article, on that site you could still read: "In the heart of Canada's two largest cities, the NFB's downtown centres are open to the public. Montreal's CinéRobothèque and Toronto's Mediatheque are at the cutting edge of technology and provide a complete cinematic experience: workshops, individual viewing stations, screenings and special events, as well as opportunities for young people to develop their media skills." In fact both facilities are now closed, although the NFB has taken some steps to keep providing some service to the public as indicated on line:"As of October 2012, the NFB's film collection, including titles that were available exclusively at the CinéRobothèque, will be available again via viewing stations.The general public, as well as researchers, teachers and students, are all welcome." This service will be offered free of charge, by appointment,at the NFB headquarters, Reference Library,3155 Côte-de- Liesse Road,Ville Saint Laurent. The new location will not be as easily accessible for most Montrealers as its previous central location was, but at least it is something,after all it is not the NFB the one to blame for the CinéRobothèque's demise but the cuts inflicted on it by the government.The passionate statement made by local filmmaker Philippe Falardeau in June still resonates while we witness the dismantling of the NFB facilities: "Tell me what agency in the world has won so many awards in the world as the NFB? What agency has had so many documentaries and short films nominated for an Oscar?We're talking here 72 nominations! I have been nominated but I didn't win (for his movie "Monsieur Lazhar").The NFB has won 12 Oscars over all these years!"

Alejandra Cifuentes has been playing since she was five years old "Classical music has a special way of saying things, emotions and stories that are not obvious" says pianist Alejandra Cifuentes The 31-year-old pianist, born in Montreal to Chilean immigrants, will perform next Saturday, September 29 at the Marie Reine de la Paix Church in Pierrefonds. Since Sergio Martinez Special that will be an opportunity for many of our readers to listen to this local musician, learning about her views on music and her career is also interesting. Q.- What were your first contacts with classical music and in particular with the piano? A.- I remember when I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, I went to Place des Arts with my mom to see some lady singing. I don't remember what music she sang but somehow that was a defining moment in my life. At around that same age, I received a miniature baby grand piano as a toy. It sounded very metallic but I remember the shape of the instrument and I loved it instantly. My mother says she used to listen to classical music when she was pregnant with me, maybe that left a mark in my subconscious too. Q.- Why classical music and no other genres like jazz or pop? A.- I don't know myself why classical music has had such an enormous importance in my life, more than jazz or pop. It seems to mean more to me than any other genre. Classical music has a special way of saying things, emotions and stories that are not obvious. It's all so imaginative and personal and somehow that's the part I love most about classical music. You can say so much without being evident.You can share experiences that have been felt by other people, in other eras, in other countries, without saying anything concrete, but at the same time, saying everything that words are incapable of expressing. Q.- What have been some of the main difficulties for a young musician like you to find a place in the classical music scene? A.- Montreal is such a great city, so many cultural activities, so many amazing artists,so many venues available. It's hard for the public to know what to see, who to listen to, what's good and what's not that good.Every year so many students finish Piano Recitals by Candlelight contribute to make Alejandra known their studies and want to get on Montreal's biggest stages. Unfortunately, the artistic world is very small. For people like me, who don't have a big name yet, it's very hard to convince a large audience to come to their concerts. Usually people will go see names that are internationally known, that way they are confident that it will be a good show. That doesn't help the younger generations find their place. But with hard work, determination and specially lots and lots of patience, we can all find our position in the artistic sphere. I have been playing and organizing concerts for the past 15 years and it never gets easier. Q.- And what have been your main satisfactions? A.- I have had many satisfying moments in my musical career.The first time I got a 1st prize in a competition. My first concert contract. The first time I played with an orchestra (in Algeria).The first time I played at the Moscow Conservatory. When my album was released and played on the radio. Every single hand clapping during concerts, those are the most satisfactory moments in my musical career...even more when standing ovations occur! Q.- Any advice for young musicians starting their careers? A.- Music is a beautiful thing, it also involves travelling, meeting new people, learning new pieces. Classical music is one of the rare things in this world that has preserved its beauty and truthfulness. But to work as a musician is very hard. It's hard to make people realize that it's a job that it is worth something, the time and energy spent on it is not only for fun but for work. Besides that, we must be open to criticism and flexible to want to try new things, play with a new method, search for our sound and be very aware that this does not happen from one day to the next, it's a very long road but a nice one for sure! Alejandra will be playing on September 29, at the Marie Reine de la Paix Church in Pierrefonds (11075 Gouin West), at 8 p.m. For more information visit: alejandracifuentesdiaz.com or: concertchandelle.com Comment on this article at: www.westendtimes.ca * SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 9

For over 90 years, American pro football has grown and evolved from a rough and tumble sport that resulted in fatalities, to a rite of fall that has preoccupied every Sunday for its multitude of devoted fans, from the pre-season to the Super Bowl. It has created its share of great moments, innovative ways to play the game, and legendary players who ever put on a uniform and thrown, kicked and caught a football. And like any revered professional sport, football has had it's share of temples and shrines. There's the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Soldier Field in Chicago, and the Orange Bowl in Miami. However, Canton, Ohio - where the first professional football team was formed (the Canton Bulldogs) and the National Football League (NFL) was established in 1920 - is the home to professional football's most revered shrine: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It preserves the sport's rich and gritty history and every August, as the unofficial beginning of the NFL season, the hall conducts a ceremony to enshrine a new group of football players, coaches, executives and builders to honour their lasting significant contributions to the game. Next year, the Pro Football Hall of Fame celebrates the 50th anniversary of its opening. To commemorate its golden anniversary of preserving and honouring the greatest names and moments of the game, a won- derful, lavishly-illustrated book has just been published called "The Pro Football Hall of Fame 50th Anniversary Book: Where Greatness Lives". The book contains essays by 11 renowned sports writers, historians and football experts (including the late Steve Sabol of NFL Films fame), which gives interesting details to the more than century-long evolution of pro football, from the first pro football player (that distinction belongs to William "Pudge" Heffelfinger, a former star guard for Yale, who was paid a princely $500 to play a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association on November 12, 1892), to the formation of the NFL, to the acceptance of the forward pass, to the landmark 1958 NFL Championship Game, to the triumph of Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. The essays are written with a great deal of fascinating stories without being drowned in too much information, and gives readers plenty of historical insight to football's drag-them-down, knockthem-out heritage (you even find out why the football field is called "the gridiron"). However, what makes this book so much fun to leaf through are the illustrations. They are taken from the hall of fame's vast collection of artifacts, photos, documentation and equipment that bring to life the history of pro football. There's plenty of jerseys past and present (including the original Baltimore Colts jersey - the colours were green and silver - and the Buffalo Bills' jersey O.J. Simpson wore in 1973 when he established the NFL's single season rushing record); ancient equipment (including leather helmets from the 1910s and 20s that offered very little protection); game footballs (such as the ball used in the 1958 NFL Championship Game, in which the Colts beat the Giants in overtime); unusual items (such as the piece of yellow coil from Lambeau Field's unique electrical field heating system, which failed before the famed 1967 "Ice Bowl" game, and Dallas Cowboy coach Tom Landry's famous hat); and plenty of photos of many of the NFL's greats in action over the years, such as Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Slingin' Sammy Baugh, Don Hutson, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Reggie White. As a bonus, there's a detailed essay about the 11 greatest moments in pro football history (including Super Bowl III, the merging of the NFL and the AFL, the debut of "Monday Night Football" and the appointment of Pete Rozelle as NFL Commissioner in 1960), a chronology of every team ever to play in the NFL and AFL, and a listing of every single Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee since it opened in 1963. "The Pro Football Hall of Fame 50th Anniversary Book" is a golden volume about pro football's permanent shrine of its greatest players, its greatest coaches, its greatest innovators and its greatest games. Whether you want to start a conversation, solve an argument - or even if you can't make the trip to Canton - this book is a must-have for every football fan.
