[" Westmount recognizes Westmount defers megacity EMO plan he Borough of Westmount has decided to I hang onto its own emergency measures plan and postpone a general EMO strategy which would have coordinated emergency management across the megacity.A motion by Borough President Karin Marks, to adopt a new borough emergency measures plan based on the megacity model, was defeated by borough councillors Cynthia Lulham and John de Castell after being tabled at the borough council's Canadian Publication no: 1375822 Vol.68, No.43 - Thursday, November 13\" 2003 + (514) 484-5610 + 9,800 copies 2 community séfvic eo 180) NR Ril rs 3 monthly meeting last week.The item was pulled from the agenda for reconsideration at a later date, after further study.Marks said that de Castell, who chairs the operational services committee, would be attending a megacity meeting with Westmount borough officials, dealing further with the city-wide emergency measures plan.\u201cThis, of course, does not mean that we do not have a plan in place,\u201d de Castell said.\u201cWe certainly do have a very comprehensive plan in place.So nobody need worry that, because we\u2019ve deferred the passing of this resolution, that we will be compromised in terms of our security in any way.\u201cThat\u2019s not the case,\u201d he insisted.\u201cOur plan is very much ready to be put into effect at a moment\u2019s notice.So there is no dramatic impact from our not passing this (motion) this evening.\u201d Marks said that emergency measures have always been under the control of the borough.As such, during the ice storm of January 1998, emergency sr ' VAD fus te OPEN HOUSE ot LCC Gym Sunday, Nov.23/03 [aud wd 7 de RSS na\" Fe Ll QUES cA tr.os a 0 I» Photo: iy (Et Foi LW ory foe management in Westmount was at all times under the supervision of the director general, the mayor and city council.\u201cOne of the things that happened during the ice storm that was very good was that we had the director general and the mayor and council and the heads of the various services for EMO who formed a team and met on a daily basis or sometimes twice a day.And so things were coordinated and they were very local.(continued on page 25) Scoop speaks!

WESTMOUNT PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN Martin C.Barry espite cool weather and gusting wind, bright sunshine brought out a larger than usual crowd to the Westmount Cenotaph last Sunday for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony.About 70 residents and an equal num ber of Canadian Forces personnel gathered on Sherbrooke Street neal Westmount Borough Hall, to remember the sacrifice made by thousands of Canadian soldiers in the wars that marred the last century.he service began shortly after 2 p.m.with a hymn, followed by scriptural readings and prayers by the leaders of several of Westmount\u2019s religious institutions.A bugler played the Last Post, and the traditional minute of silence was observed.Commemorative wreaths were laid at the base of the Cenotaph by representatives of the Canadian and Quebec governments, the Borough of Westmount, the Third Field Engineers Regiment, the Royal Montreal Regiment, the 712th Communications Squadron, the RCMP and by members of the Royal Canadian Legion.Lt.Col.Ernest Skutezky a member of Local dignitaries included (from left) borough councillor John de Castell, Public Security director Richard McEnroe, borough president Karin Marks, MNA Jacques Chagnon, MP Lucienne Robillar and former mayor Peter Trent of the Royal Montreal Regiment.the Royal Montreal Regiment who served with the Canadian Forces\u2019 Artillery and Intelligence division during World War II, had a large number of service and valour medals pinned on his chest.- Remembrance Day is \u201cquite important, and I think it's good to remember and to pull our weight in continuity,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s nice that so many people are coming out to remember\u201d said Westmount Borough President Karin Marks.\u201cI think people are conscious right now of the fact that so many of our troops are active.So it\u2019s nice to see it remembered.\u201d Westmount-Ville Marie MP Lucienne Robillard said she had participated in each of Westmount\u2019s Remembrance Day ceremonies since 1995.\u201cIt\u2019s so important to have these ceremonies in communities across Canada,\u201d she said.\u201cWe have to remember.And it\u2019s most important to teach that to young kids in our country.\u201d Robillard also encouraged citizens to write to Canadian Forces personnel who are currently providing support in Afghanistan.\u201cThey need support from the citizens of this country,\u201d she said.A parade of military personnel, which had been scheduled to go past a reviewing stand at the corner of Kitchener Avenue and Sherbrooke Street after the ceremony ended up not taking place when the procession marched off in the wrong direction.Dignitaries obliging: ly saluted a group of flagbearing Girl Guides as they made their way past the reviewing stand.Borough salutes volunteers at autumn flower show Martin C.Barry bout 200 community volunteers and new residents of Westmount attended a reception held by the borough at Victoria Hall last week, marking the opening of the Fall Flower Show.Each spring and fall, the borough holds wine and canape receptions, coinciding with the opening of the seasonal flower displays at the greenhouse, and providing an opportunity for newcomers and longtime citizens to get to know one another.At last week\u2019s gathering, chamber music was provided by members of the Westmount Youth Orchestra.For this year\u2019s fall flower show, the @ouen was forced to place the flower displays in the art gallery next to Victoria Hall, because of an extensive refurbishment which has closed the greenhouse until next spring.Former Westmount city councillor Margaret Lefebvre noted the importance of holding such receptions, as a means of maintaining a sense of community among residents.\u201cWhen you see the people come out for it, and you see people really happy to be out for it, they give a sense of what it\u2019s like to be welcome in their community,\u201d she said.\u201cI think that\u2019s the outreach that can only happen in a small community.\u201d Mala Balshine, a Côte St.Antoine Road resident who moved to Westmount from Dollard des Ormeaux in the past year, was pleased with the ambience of the community which is her new home.\u201cPeople walk on the streets, they shop in the area, it doesn\u2019t feel like the suburbs,\u201d she said.\u201cIn the suburbs, people are always in their cars.This is not the case.It really feels like a village in the best sense of the word.I really love that, and I love the nature.Trees and houses are allowed to grow old here.They're not torn down as in so many other areas.I wish more areas of Montreal had gone that route.\u201d Balshine also commented on the wide cross-section of age groups who participate in Westmount\u2019s community events.\u201cThere\u2019s such a mixture of age groups at this event tonight,\u201d she said.\u201cIn that sense it\u2019s a real community, not just families with little children or condominiums where there are just empty-nesters.\u201d Alexandra Dalgleish, a volunteer who helps assemble and rides Westmount\u2019s float in the St.Patrick\u2019s Day Parade every year in March, said she gets a lot of satisfaction from her participation in community events.\u201cI get a very good feeling,\u201d she said.\u201cI help others, I feel good afterwards and this was a major event that I was part of today.\u201d Councillors Karin Marks, John de Castell and Cynthia Lulham thank volunteers for their efforts on behalf of the community.oo) = R ronda Mcintyre _Affiliated Real Estate Agent _Top 5

jacket Ri his FLQ days to announce that he was a part of the public mischief incident that took place in Bale-d\u2019Urfé.This from a grandfather looking for adventure, viewed as a failure and rejected by almost all groups, even the most nationalist ones.Mr.Villeneuve specializes in long service: former member of the PQ executive, the Société Saint- Jean-Baptise, the FLQ, etc.It is clear that Mr.Villeneuve has a ridiculously small number of supporters, and that his impassioned, quasi-racist speeches, ingrained with cherished nationalistic themes from the 1960\u2019s striving to mobilize support, simply fall flat.Nevertheless, we do need to keep an eye on him, for this vagabond of contract violence most certainly has some followers, given the fact that craziness is sometimes contagious.How could young people, unless they are complete morons, be seduced by the illusion of adventure running through Villeneuve's discourse?What nonsense: writing anonymous graffiti on the walls of city hall, attempting to cut down the pole flying the Canadian flag and hurling abuse at a 73-year- old woman who still has the energy and dedication to be involved in public affairs, under the pretense that she doesn\u2019t speak French fluently.There is one word to describe all of these acts: cowardice.Why would a young person with a 21st century mindset, who has a thirst to know more about the world and its many cultures and to learn new languages, feel any kind of affinity with someone who is nostalgic for an era that represents one of the ugliest episodes in our history?Many of you may have heard these so-called threats from Raymond Villeneuve, which are nothing less than aggressive, quasi-seditious talk (this has been verified).On a positive note, our appreciation and congratulations must go out to the SPVM police force for effectively using the information at their disposal and the information provided by other police forces.They were on the scene in Baie-d\u2019Urfé at 3:30 a.m.and apprehended seven thugs.We can only hope that through this experience, these young people will lose their desire to be Juvenile delinquents.I'must tell you that the nature of the sentence handed out to four of them, as reported by the media, seems to me rather strange, to say the least.They were apparently ordered to keep the peace and prohibited from going west of Saint-Laurent Boulevard for the period of one year.It has been a long time since the \u201cMain\u201d was viewed as a \u201cWall of China\u201d separating the city\u2019s Anglophones and Francophones.This \u201cdivision\u201d of Montreal has fortunately been eliminated by new arrivals: long-established Italians in the North, the more recent Pakistani and Indian immigrants in the South-Centre and, in the downtown area, a whole kaleidoscope of people more or less recently arrived from Western or Eastern Europe.And, as you know, Chinatown is right to the south of us.The presiding judge certainly sent a strange message by prohibiting someone found guilty of public mischief from going west of Saint- Laurent Boulevard.The Island of Montreal belongs to everyone.This is a judgment that appears to \u201cghettoize\u201d the city.Apart from that, how are you doing?Don\u2019t get caught again like last year.Do you remember what happened?With many of the leaves still on the ground or, worse yet, still in the trees, the first snow arrived.And because that first snow hung around, we ended up with the nasty chore of having to rake up wet and half-decomposed leaves in the spring.I'm thinking about this because as I write these lines I am in Quebec City and it has just snowed.Right now, there are probably seven or eight centimetres on the ground.Oh well, it should be gone by spring.Jacques Chagnon « Jacques Chagnon is the Liberal MNA for Westmount-St.BouRmUE APOLOGIZES ISSUE INTO For TURNING: THE DEMERGER ONE OF LANGUAGE If you can remember Word War Two, you probably weren\u2019t there * George Bowser enjoy the Remembrance Day service, though the memories it calls forth are often oddly not my own.Like all so-called baby boomers, | grew up amid the echoes and shadows of the Second World War, and not the war itself.Remembrance is a dignified nostalgia.Sometimes, in memory of my parents and their comrades, [ wear last year\u2019s poppy.You might think that this is the height of cheapness, but I do it to commemorate the nutty post-war thriftiness I grew up with.The strain of paying for two world wars and an empire made my parents\u2019 generation neurotically unable to endure wasteful behaviour.\u2018Waste not, want not,\u201d was a maxim often heard.at my house.When driving, they used to switch the motor off and \u2018coast\u2019 down hills to save gas.It was unthinkable to leave food uneaten on a plate, and in any case it would have turned up the next day in a stew.The only thing that never seemed to be in short supply was liquor.The Westmount Remembrance Day service is suitably simple, direct, and unpretentious.The public address system buzzes, and the flag gets twisted, but there's a brass band, and a bugler: It all tugs at the heartstrings in a way that is soldierly simple and direct, and this appeals to me although I was never a soldier.I was a cadet for a short time, but lized excursions rather than sleeping in puddles, stumbling about in the dark, being blinded by flash- bangs and insulted by corporals.It's also one of the few gigs a trombonist can get.Definition of an optimist: a trombone player with a date book.Another thing ordinary soldiers have to do, that I didn\u2019t want to do, is to stand at attention for long periods of time.When I was very young I went to a parade with my mother, and a soldier who was standing at attention in front of me suddenly fall flat on his face without warning.He fell over forward as though struck by a cudgel.My mother whispered to me that it was because of the heat, the tight collar he wore, and because being motionless caused problems with his circulation.The blood supply to his brain had become inadequate.He was bound to fall over then, or else be promoted to general.The selection of hymns at the Remembrance Day service is nostalgic, too.You don\u2019t often hear \u2018Onward Christian Soldiers\u2019, now that it\u2019s been sent to the corner for being politically unsound, and who can resist the majestic rolling melody of \u2018Oh God, our help in ages past?\u2019 Everyone at the service, that\u2019s who.Without a choir to lead us, we Westmounters are a silent, sorry chorus.Heads bowed in embarrassment, rather than piety, we move our lips and mutter inaudibly for fear that someone will hear our singing.But that too is the way it always was.This year\u2019s ceremony was special, because at end the whole parade marched off in the wro direction, leaving the dignitaries on the reviewing stand waiting helplessly for something to review.This caused some laughter.Was that inappropriate?Not at all.Soldiers love an old-fashioned military cock-up.Don\u2019t join the army if you can\u2019t take a joke.+ George Bowser is one half of the musical

you listen to the false bravado of American president George W.Bush, the more the Americans are attacked, the greater the progress that is Ekg made.~Whiléthis assertion is, of course, ludicrous, expatriates who live in Canada and who still have relatives back in Baghdad do say that life has generally improved there since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.It is precisely these expats who are most likely to talk about the latest revelation which suggests that Saddam\u2019s henchmen buried close to 300,000 opponents in hundreds of mass graves across the country.According to human rights official (from the examiner archives) One Year Ago November 14, 2002 SCALING BACK: Signs that the McGill University Health Centre could end up smaller than originally planned have stirred speculation about the future of the project among some Westmounters.Last week, the provincial government, which will eventually foot most of the bill, reduced the proposed superhospital\u2019s estimated $2.2 billion cost by $100 million.At the same time, the government said the MUHC\u2019s planners should study whether the Montreal General Hospital should be kept open after the superhospital is completed in the Glen Yards.It was also revealed last week that the planners might be underestimating the cost by as much as $1 billion because not all elements are being taken into account.According to another report, the MUHC is now considering byilding in phases to attenuate costs and @imize disruptions from the transfer of five existing hospitals to the one campus.Westmount borough president Karin Marks said the latest developments put the MUHC\u2019s original plans in doubt.\u201cThey told us before they could not do the program that they had in less square footage than what they were proposing,\u2019 said Marks.\u2018Obviously the requirements Public Security boosts Halloween To the editor: I am so impressed! I have just come in from an around-the-block look at the Halloween decorations, and on the corner of Roslyn and de Maisonneuve I met a Public Security Officer.He had parked his van and was giving out Halloween goodies to the children Sandy Hodgkinson, investigators found mass graves that contained the remains of women and children with bullet holes in their heads.The majority of the victims of Saddam\u2019s genocidal frenzy were said to be Kurds killed by the Iraqi leader\u2019s henchmen in the 1980s and Shiites slaughtered after an uprising more than a decade go.If you read the British press, the United States, bogged down in a Vietnam-style quagmire, is loathed and detested by the entire population.There is no doubt that the ongoing difficulty of the mission caught the Bush administration unprepared.Much to the delight of French president Jacques Chirac and other European leaders who resent America\u2019s position as the sole superpower, the United States is now facing a lose-lose situation.First of all, America will never get credit for anything that it does.If it stays in Iraq, it will be accused of trying to gain control of its oil reserves.If it leaves, it will be accused of abandoning the people of Iraq.from the government will mean they'll have to reexamine their program.If the Montreal General is going to be kept functional, it will mean a smaller institution,\u2019 she added.\u2018But in the end that could have a very positive benefit\u2014or not, depending on how they structure the new facility\u201d Five Years Ago November 12, 1998 METEOR SHOWER: \u201cThe City of Westmount has taken steps to ensure telephone communications if an anticipated meteor shower between November 13 and 20 should damage a satellite.Director General Bruce

what authority Dawson has to charge for public parking.He was told the city would look into the situation.\u2018On evenings when there are major events at the Forum, cars could be seen going into the parking lot,\u2019 said Mr.Johnston.\u2018One evening about five weeks ago, | decided to go down and try it.I drove up to the intercom box and was asked if I was going to the college or the Forum.I said Letters to the editor = going around the corner.For the past few years I have seen Public Security cars patrolling on Halloween, but 1 never realized they were part of the festivities.I spoke

also demand that Bush bring the boys back home.They will argue that there is no point in risking the lives of young American soldiers barely out of their teens to build a democracy in a country whose population appears ungrateful and hostile.These very same people will also make the rather convincing argument that the tens of billions of dollars wasted on pacifying Iraq could be put to much better use if it were spent on the health and education of Americans back home.They will also suggest that since America did the heavy lifting by toppling the regime of Saddam Hussein\u2014let France,

to the official opening of the artificial ice rink on the corner of Western and Lansdowne avenues Friday evening.The controversial ice rink, opened by Mayor Sidney Bruneau, was crowded to capacity for

more troops, they will have to recruit Iraqis in a hurry to handle security.While this may sound sensible, the rush to get it done will mean that the unholy alliance of Saddam loyalists, freelance

more severe type of medical emergencies such COUNCIL REPORT they recognized the need of some residents for more sun or air in back yards.\u201cHowever, the (centre) city now says every borough must

Association meetings ty council, however, Marks seconded an amendment put forward by Pointe Claire councillor Bill McMurchie to require first responders to answer all types of medical calls as was the previous practice.The council adopted the amendment, directing that the changes be \u201crenegotiated with the fire department,\u201d she said.Another result of new labour agreements may see Westmount lose one of its three longtime fire inspectors.Under 'a new and complicated proposal, seven inspectors are to work out of the Westmount fire station assigned to cover various boroughs.This further raises the question of borough autonomy, Marks pointed out.Decisions were being made without any consultation with the boroughs.In fact, the mega city councillor in charge of public security, Peter Yeomans, was himself unaware of the proposed change when contacted by Marks, she said.Tree bylaw now required Also at its last meeting, the Montreal council adopted its complementary document on urban planning which puts \u201cthe same hat\u201d over all communities.As a result, it requires Westmount to enact a tree bylaw which Westmount councils have long opposed.The city fathers have encouraged the planting of trees by offering free distribution of trees every spring.On the other hand, COMPLETE LINE OF Viyella Woolrich New Fall Arrivals MANY MORE MEN\u2019S & LADIES CASUAL CLASSIC BRANDS Le

and to point out to Municipal Affairs Minister Jean-Marc Fournier that his recent statements were not part of that promise.\u201cToday (Nov.3) we were part of a contingent of 35 cities across Quebec enforcing the idea that promises of demerger were not a Montreal issue but \u201can issue of democracy across the province.And those who felt it was important enough to elect the Liberals feel it is

sponsored the publishing of 40,000 brochures that were to be distributed through the Montreal Children\u2019s and St.Justine\u2019s hospitals over the next two years.Only 18 months later the supply was depleted and once again Pfizer agreed to pay for the reprint, suggesting 50,000 to last two years.Before things were finalized, Dr.Pless mused that it would great to have the brochures in all the

they did a wonderful job,\u201d said Carmel, who approached Selwyn House two years ago with the idea of collecting children\u2019s artwork.\u201cThe effect is very appealing to the children who come through here.We get a lot of positive feedback.\u201d Before Room for Change was founded in 1997, the Children\u2019s Hospital walls were either plain or decorated with artwork created by adults.Now, the organization is working to create a more child and family-friendly atmosphere.Framed watercolours on the theme of air and water, created by last year\u2019s Grade 6 class, decorate the plain beige walls.According to Carmel, they are designed to give the impression of fresh air\u2014important for a respiratory ward.\u201cMore than anything, it\u2019s the colours that make everything come alive,\u201d she said.A multi-coloured alphabet quilt, created out of felt, construction paper, string, tongue depressors and school supplies, hangs on display in a Se case.Kevin Ward, William Gallo, Nicolas Andrgg and Nicholas Salbaing made the quilt in 20 when they were in Grade 1.At the sight of their own handiwork at the visit two years later, they fell over themselves to point out their names, stitched in bright-orange yarn at the bottom-right square of the quilt.In the waiting area, paper, pencils, markers, colouring books and magazines are arranged on a child-sized red table, under- ®2] neath two bookshelves.Spencer Wuest, David Smith and Don Ton-That (and their classmate Charles Laplante, who could not attend), purchased all the materials themselves, with the 89 money they made from fundraising.Last spring they came up with the idea for a coin- collecting contest on their own; it ended up involving all the elementary grades, and raised more than $1,000.\u201cIt was very exciting for them,\u201d said Heath.\u201cThey worked hard, and they loved it when they saw all that money.They rolled $500 worth of pennies by hand.\u201d But what they liked best about the project, the boys all agreed, was being helpful.\u201cIt felt good, because we did it for other kids,\u201d said Spencer.Next year, according to Carmel, Room for Change and Selwyn House will likely collaborate again, to put a children\u2019s art gallery in the ward cafeteria.\u201cIt\u2019s been a great project so far,\u201d she said.\u201c[The students] were really enthusiastic, and now hundreds of children and parents will benefit.\u201d : WE deliver YOUR Flyers: Call 484-5610 Use the Examiner Bulletin Board!

S: out of 17 Westmount real November estate home sales registered in 2 July this year were for $1 mil- £ lion or more, the highest number of « million-dollar-plus sales to be regis- Z tered in Westmount In a single month.All six of the sales were for rices between $1 million and 5 $1,270,000, with the top price 3 achieved by 417 Roslyn Avenue.At the same time, a house at 3185 2 Delavigne Road, just outside Westmount z but including some land in Westmount, » sold in May for $2,373,500, with the price = broken down as $1,423,500 for the house y itself (with land, in Ville Marie Borough) 4 and $950,000 for two lots including one on a rsday, the Westmount side of the main house.That lot is now being cleared, presumably for a new house whose land will be partial- - ly in Westmount and partially in Montreal.This month TEELA Data Market Surveys, which provides The Examiner with the information on house sales, played a bit of catch-up, passing on several sales reports from late June, two from May (including 3185 Delavigne) and two from last November, which are added to the July sales list on this page.The June sales include two more million-dollar-plus sales, which double the number in that category in that month.The slightly revised June list, then, recorded 22 one- and two-family homes selling for an average $678,752, or 54.5 percent more than their municipal evaluation.In July, the volume drops slightly to 17 and the average markup to 49.3 percent, but the average price leaps to $846,853, thanks to the higher proportion of million-dollar sales.Also of note is the lowest price in the month, $515,000 for 428 Lansdowne Avenue, still above the half-million mark which is now the standard for most houses in Westmount.That sale also involved the lowest markup over the 2001 tax assessment, 17.2 percent, though 491 Mountain Avenue was close to the same figure at 18.1 percent and 3 Murray not much higher at 18.2 percent.In all, the month saw 17 one- and two- family houses selling for $14,396,500 with a municipal evaluation for 2001 of $9,639,700.The residential sales involved contracts dating back to March, April and May of this year, for the most part.One Greene Avenue triplex sold for $540,000 and one-third of the triplex at 84-88 Somerville Avenue - with exclusive rights to 86 Somerville - sold for $185,000, giving both properties approximately the same value.Condominium sales included two apartments at 1 Wood Avenue, both on the fifth floor of that building, though one of those sales actually was registered last November and only reported now.À flat at 4215 de Maisonneuve Boulevard sold in June and a portion of a converted duplex on Melville Avenue was sold last November, so the only two condominium sales to take place in July involved 83 Hallowell Stree and Apartment 504 at 1 Wood Avenue.) A rather involved deed transferred emphyteutic rights to a buyer at 400 Lansdowne Avenue for $750,000, way below the building's tax value of $3,847,100.The building has been subject to an emphyteu- tic lease since back in the 1950s, though the current apartment building was only constructed in 1966.The other apartment- building sale involved two buildings at 4123 and 4129 de Maisonneuve Boulevard, immediately adjacent to each other at the corner of Elm Avenue, for a total $2 million.The Examiner is still comparing 2003 prices with 2001 evaluations, though the new valuations are now available to com- -pare.In general it is safe to say that houses are still well above the 2004 valuations, which are supposed to represent market value for July of 2002.Statistically, the market is some 10 percent higher than it was on that date, so far as registrations are concerned. © œ OT DT SWE +e Wy WT D e\" 4 234 1818 110 ROYAL LEPAGE http://www.royallepage.ca westmount1@royallepage.ca HERITAGE i Courtier immobilier agréé Diane Ménard Franchise indépendante et autonome de Royal LePage Branch Manager Ghislaine Adeland Preparing to show vour home to potential buyers SN ES EN Alain Boisvert Nicole Brunet A Aley Chaya E Thomas Castle C Patricia Chang First impressions are lasting impressions.You will want to mm mm: Make sure the buyers looking at your home are left with the best possible impression.Your Royal LePage Real Estate Professional can help you achieve that goal.Petra Kocur Monique laurendeau Arnold A.Leider 3 ge.Marie-Thérèse Lacroix Marilyn Lally Christopher Logan Masha Reich Marlene F.Rubin Barry Walker Gillian Wright Roger Yeghyayan \u201cMartha Tsadilas James Thomas SL sbed - £00Z \u2018£L 13QUSA0N \u2018Aepsiny] - YININVX3 INDONLSIM IHL Ginette Tremblay Oscar re Tarakjian J 3 Ellie Silver Laura Stock = Page 16 - THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - Thursday, November 13, 2003 < Andy Dodge, CRA (NOTE: The following article relates to offers to purchase Westmount residential dwellings which were reported by the local offices of Sutton and Royal LePage Realties as having been accepted in October.Because they are not final registered sales, the addresses and prices cannot be made public, but give a good idea of current trends in local real estate activity.The graph on this page offers a picture of these trends over time.) \u201cSold\u201d stickers are appearing on \u201cFor Sale\u201d signs everywhere in October Sales: Record Volume Westmount these days, certainly faster than the \u201cFor Sale\u201d signs are going up, indicating that prices can be expected to rise even more as we move into the 2004 peak market.Twenty-five home sales and one duplex sale were reported in October, the highest volume for the month since we began keeping records in 1986 (there were 22 sales that year and 23 in 1997), including five homes sold for more than $1 million and only two under $550,000.The average markup over valuation pulled back somewhat, but the average house value in Westmount remained above $900,000.There were four sales reported on Upper Lansdowne Avenue and another two on Murray Hill, both high-demand streets which indicates buyers are not hesitating to go for what they want, no matter what the price.However, there also were no sales over $1,500,000, and with plenty of real estate asking more than $2 million, we suggest it will be a while before it gets sold.Condominium sales continued to lag behind in terms of volume, but three sales in October averaged more than double their tax assessments, moving the \u201ctypical\u201d condo price into the $400,000 range, though we must be careful to make much of those statistics considering the low volume and high range of prices.On the other hand, adjacent-Westmount homes moved reasonably well with six home sales, one triplex and two pieces of vacant land on Redpath Crescent.Again, it seems buyers are more interested in putting big money down for homes rather than holding back by settling for condos; even the downtown condominium market appears to have slowed somewhat.The flurry of October sales is probably marking an early beginning to next year\u2019s spring market, with buyers in a hurry to pick up whatever they can before prices move up in February/March of next year.But certainly the seller\u2019s market is not waning, and supply is dwindling as the \u201csold\u201d stickers appear all over Westmount.1.000.000 975,000 AVERAGE ADJUSTED \u20ac \u201cTYPICAL WE!

He further explained some of the frustration and problems he feels many landlords have experienced due the coinciding of both rent and mortgage payment due dates.Thus if a rent cheques is delayed, late or NSE, it ends up causing financial penalties or difficulties.What should a landlord, who is acting in good faith, do?Firstly, in the lease, it is usually and explicitly stated when the rent must be paid.This is not, after the residential lease contract has been signed, an arbitrary or unilaterally re-negotiated condition of the lease.If both parties agree to the first of each month, then that is the legal payment date which will be recognized by the court.Neither the landlord nor tenant can just pick a date \u201cout of thin air\u201d and say to the other that rent is now to be expected on just such a whim.Rent, however must be paid.And if it is not, judicial repercussions may ensue.The following are suggestions: a) Allow tenants to give a rent cheque before the first of the month.(Furnish a receipt.The cheque is not a receipt.Art 1568 CCQ.).b) Negotiate your mortgage payment due date to perhaps the fifteenth of the month.Do not incur a financial penalty without full knowledge and agreement.c) Change financial institutions e one which will treat you as \u201cborrower and profit maker\u201d with respect.d) Send to all tenants a legal notice advising that if their late payment should cause you, as landlord, financial damages, the late payers will be held liable for any and all such monetary charges.Buying a Classified Ad in The Examiner is as easy as ever! Just call 321-2000 e) If late, NSF, or non-payment continue, file at the Régie du logement (Rental Board) an application for a \u201cSpecific Performance Order\u201d that the rent be paid on its legal due date.f) A tenant also possesses the legal right to file for a \u201cSpecific Performance Order\u201d should the landlord refuse to give a receipt when the rent is paid.Remember, one hand washes the other.Our monetary system is so interconnected that the breakdown of one section can have ripple effects over a wide range.Any landlord who is in a position similar to that which was described by our writer, should re-negotiate with Rent payment date causes trouble for mortgage due date ax Cv - his financial institution.They want and need your business.Do not take no for an answer, Go elsewhere for satisfaction.But pay attention to any penalty clauses.The lending institution has calculated its profit flowing from your loan.It has committed itself to other lending and financial investments based upon the loan commitment you have made.Perhaps it is more prudent to wait until the renewal of your mortgage.Speak with your personal financial manager or accountant.Do so sooner than later.So there you have it.Once again two sides to every coin.Your obligation is to polish your side of the coin as well as possible and keep it shiny.Personal financial viability and NDG -

the finals forced the Selwyn House Gryphons to \u201cwait \u2018til next year.\u201d When the Gryphons returned to the championship game last season, they were reunited with what was becoming an all-too-common theme\u2014again Selwyn House came up short.Once more the Gryphons were forced to wait another year.On Nov.2 at Concordia Stadium, the waiting stopped.The Gryphons were crowned league champions as they doubled up on the rival Lions of Lower Ganada College 42-21.Next year had finally arrived.\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to leave any doubt out there today,\u201d coach Mike Maurovitch said following the win.\u201cI told the guys that we would set the pace early, and that we would win this football game.\u201d Indeed there was little uncertainty as to which was the stronger football team in this match-up as the Gryphons went to work early and often, recording majors on their first four possessions.Quarterback Beno Shell Schnitzer opened the scoring with a one-yard rushing touchdown before Justin Moretti ran for five-yard TD of his own.Less than a minute later, Sean Brophy reached the goal line on a 15- yard carry for his first TD of the day.Brophy's second score would come on the Gryphons\u2019 next possession courtesy a 45-yard pass from Shell Schnitzer.By halftime Selwyn House built a comfortable 28-9 advantage and sensed that the elusive championship gOpen House Ral: EYAL [UT was at last within reach.\u201cObviously at the half we felt that we were in control, but the coaches emphasized W that it\u2019s a four quarter game M and reminded us to play as if it were 0-0,\u201d said Brophy.\u201cBut we realized that we had a pretty good grasp of the game at that point.\u201d Yet, despite Selwyn\u2019s sea- son-long tendency to ease off in the second half, the Gryphons would show little mercy adding two more scores in the final 30 minutes.Shell Scnhitzer\u2019s 45- yard touchdown strike to Phil Cutler just 2:25 into the fourth quarter gave Selwyn a commanding 42-9 lead, all but sealing the victory.Having grown frustrated of coming up short in the championship game, Shell Schnitzer threw for 270 yards and two TDs while running one in himself as one of the most successful players ever produced by Selwyn House capped off his high school playing days with a title.\u201cWe understood that it\u2019s not easy street to win a championship.We knew that we had to play strong every down and that championships aren\u2019t free.Unfortunately we had to find this out the hard way, but in the end it was our experience that put us over the top,\u201d

wouldn\u2019t be a repeat of other years.Even (Coach) Maurovitch made it a big point of emphasis after beating (defending champion) Ste.Therese in the semis.\u201d Champions are a rare breed and as the Selwyn House Gryphons are discovering, the difference between leaving the field a finalist and walking off a champion is immense.This year\u2019s edition of the Gryphons truly demonstrated the qualities of a champion overcoming injuries, recovering from Selwyn House players celebrate their victory on Nov.2.an opening week loss and coming back strong from the disappointments of seasons past.This was a club that had a superstar quarterback, a dominant defensive unit, and a group of \u201chogs,\u201d as Coach Maurovitch referred to them, on the offensive line opening holes for the running game and providing time for the receivers to run downfield.With player turnover inevitable in scholastic sports, it is difficult to predict if the Gryphons will repeat as champions next fail, but following consecutive setbacks in the title game for many of these players, one thing is cer- tain\u2014the waiting is over.For the Gryphons, their time is now.i Er, sy SNS va = Sr Kells

said, all her bread has been made by hand.New this year, there was even a freezer older women members of the congregation.Westmounter John Dawson was taking care of the book tables.\u201cWe had about 15 dealers here,\u201d he said, noting their early arrival.\u201cWe didn\u2019t open until 10 o\u2019clock, but when I came in at 9:30 they were all lined up.\u201cThey were very orderly this year and they paid the proper price and didn't try to quibble about anything.\u201d filled with frozen apple pies and other sweets.\u201cOur bake table is extraordinarily well-filled this year\u2014it\u2019s just unbelievable,\u201d said Judy Johnston, a co-organizer with Donna Fraser of the annual bazaar, which raises funds for the church.According to one of the other ladies tending the bake table, an especially appreciative male congregation member paid $100 for a lemon meringue pie.\u201cI can\u2019t imagine how much food we have there,\u201d said Johnston.\u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of money on it already.Our bake table is our core.If we do well at the bake table, we do well everywhere else.We pride ourselves on providing not only home baking, but really good home baking, too.\u201d All in all, it had to be one of the largest and best-organized church bazaars in Montreal.From the used book table, which is always popular with book dealers, to the pet section, where children had assembled

Westmount-Cote des Neiges Sud district will head to the polls to choose one of three candidates for school commissioner in the upcoming Commission Scolaire de Montreal (CSDM).Acting as CSDM representative for their district, the school commissioner has a responsibility to represent the needs and values of parents, children and schools on a myriad of issues, including school transportation, dropout and success rates of children, violence within schools and the distribution of services.In this year\u2019s election for commissioner for Ward 17, the two challengers, independent Lyda Letacq, and Memo party member Akos Verboczy, may have a difficult time usurping the incumbent, CREE party member Norma Gaona.For Letacq, a former CEGEP teacher and financial consultant, the commission must reflect the needs of the students and their parents.Letacq believes in a return to basics, with a focus on strong educational programs, while encouraging languages, technology, the arts and cultural diversity through proper budget management.Through proper financial planning, she believes children will have access to higher education and the workplace.As a mother of two children, Letacq also wants to encourage security in the school system.\u201cSecurity at school is difficult to fight,\u201d said Letacq.\u201cI want to bring teachers.parents, and students together to help resolve the issue.\u201cIf we come back to basics, we can combat not only this issue, but illiteracy and the unhappiness of teachers regarding their constraints,\u201d Letacq added.For UQAM graduate Verboczy, 28, the election is about political and social involvement.Having studied political science, Verboczy gained experience through student government and politics.As a former social and political affairs officer for the Fédération Etudiante universitaire du Quebéc (FEUQ), Verboczy believes in raising awareness among students to encourage their involvement.Verboczy\u2019s platform reflects his experience.If elected, he hopes to organize promotional activities and training and development programs for the children.His primary concern Lyda Letacq is the improvement of learning conditions within the school system and the quality of education.In order to accomplish this, Verbovzy believes the commission must increase and diversify its mission, by examining the entire student population, regardless of ability.Since her election in 1998, Gaona has played an active role in the community.À graduate in law from Cardoba National University in Argentina and studies in social psychology from the Université de Montréal, Gaona has an appreciation for the law, and its application in society.Currently acting as liaison officer for the Latino American Cultural House, she oversees the integration of Montreal\u2019s Hispanic population into the school system.In addition to her responsibilities as commissioner, in the past Gaona worked as a liaison officer with the CLSC and acted as spokesperson on behalf of the CSDM for the Fédération des Commissions Scolaires du Québec.Given her experience as commissioner, coupled with her commitment to her community, Gaona is a strong candidate.Whoever wins, it is clear that all three candidates have the determination to address the issues of their constituents to ensure a safe, healthy and productive school system for the entire community.oY PN Me AN de ON pet mt Aa a OT ee CY rt OY Nm | hardens condo So 2 nas»= Emergency measures (continued from page 1) \u201cOur concern is that the fire department is no longer under the borough of Westmount\u2014it's managed centrally,\u201d she added.\u201cWe would like to see and to have an answer to the question of who will be in charge on a local basis, and to who will the various resources like the police and the firefighters respond.Will they be answering to the borough, or will they be answering to the central department?- \u201cWhile the (megacity) emergency measures plan we\u2019ve elaborated probably will provide good service for the community\u2014and we are in the process f continuing to elaborate it\u2014the lines of responsibility in terms of who is in charge are not clear enough, as far as we're concerned, to propose it as is,\u201d said Marks.Marks said firefighters in Westmount remain a crucial piece of any emergency measures plan.\u201cSo we are asking that it be clarified\u2014how they, a key resource, will be mobilized by the community and how will we be assured that they will, in fact, be used in this community and not in other communities if an emergency arises.And so we are not comfortable voting on this tonight.\u201d Marks gave her assurances that the emergency measures plan Westmount currently has in place is more than adequate.\u201cIf anything should happen in the meantime, we are not left completely without one,\u201d she said.\u201cBut before we become a part of the big city\u2019s plan, we want that to be clarified, and we feel that it\u2019s necessary for all of us, for our citizens, to have a decent plan that responds to their needs for it to be really in the control of the borough and under our director and council.\u201d (continued from page 9) Remembering Lanie There will be a celebration of the life of Lanie Melamed, Westmount community activist who was involved in the original Westmount Initiative for Peace and was a very strong activist in BCAM (Breast Cancer Action Montreal), this Saturday, Nov.15 from 2 to 4 p.m.at Victoria Hall.Lanie passed away in early August.In addition to her social activism, Lanie was an avid quilter and left two wall hangings, a pillow and a quilt top unfinished.The Westmount Quilters Guild has undertaken to finish them.This weekend they will present the wall hangings and the pillow to Lanie\u2019s children.The quilt will be finished and raffled off later in the year to raise funds for BCAM.Anyone interested in
