is running for the Liberals in Westmount- Ville Marie, says he is \u201cdisturbed\u201d by the NDP\u2019s support for a proposed extension into federal jurisdiction of Quebec\u2019s Bill 101, although Garneau himself praises the provincial language legislation.Last May, a proposed federal law brought forth in the House of Commons by the Bloc Québécois called for the amendment of the Official Languages Act.Under the change, Quebec's Bill 101 would be applied within federal institutions in Quebec and the English language would no longer be regarded as equal.Quebec's French Language Charter would also have started applying to federal institutions and private businesses under federal jurisdiction.The NDP, including its leader Jack Layton, and Outremont NDP MP Thomas Mulcair, the party\u2019s lone elected member in the province, voted with the Bloc for the bill, which nonetheless ended up being defeated by the Conservatives and Liberals.Westmount Fudio Learn these DANCES:

in an interview with The Examiner.\u201cIt is a big deal, because for anything that deals with language and rights in this country \u2014 and these are federal institutions \u2014 the Official Languages Act, until further notice, has got to be the law.\u201d That said, Garneau was asked how he felt overall about Bill 101.\u201cI believe that if one looks at the last 40 years of life here in Quebec and how things have evolved on balance.| think the application of Law 101 was the right thing to do for here in Quebec,\u201d he said.Garneau recalled his own experience living in Montreal in the 1960s, when separatists were staging kidnappings and detonating bombs.\u201cIt was a turbulent time in Quebec history.| think Law 101 has made the situation such that here in Quebec it\u2019s allowed a positive evolution of society.It has reassured a lot of Quebecers who worry about their language and their culture, and 1 think it has had in that sense a positive effect.\u201d Affiliation

appropriately, given this week\u2019s subject, there were not too many nominations sent in by our readership.Then again, maybe there were, and in the spirit of the category, we've just decided to keep it all to ourselves.You see, last week, we had asked Examiner readers to send us what they thought were the best-kept secret locations in the city.Responses came down to two different choices.One was a Westmount Park bench in front of the serpentine waterway that weaves left and right between leafy, shady trees.The benches were suggested due to being ideal to spend \u201cquiet time on a beautiful summer day\u201d The Westmount side of the look-out was suggested as a second location.True, people may tend to think of the look-out as downtown Montreal proper, but those who venture to the Westmount side of it may realize what they're missing out on when they catch a view.Join us next week, when we examine the best place for breakfast in Westmount.A vast selection o and natural Dpen trô

their lives simply because they love it, here are a few thoughts to contemplate.What is Bach\u2019s relevance today?What is the source of his endurance?And why is it that his compositions can still be found at the heart of Western music in our age?It was perhaps questions like these that Alexandra Scheibler had in mind when she decided to found the Festival Bach de Montréal three years ago.Among the festival\u2019s board of directors is Kent Nagano, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra's famed music director.The Festival Bach de Montréal features outstanding Canadian ensembles performing alongside international artists.It takes place here bi-annually under the auspices of the Bach-Académie de Montréal, a non-profit group dedicated to promoting a wider understanding of Bach, who is regarded by many as the world\u2019s greatest composer.The Bach-Académie de Montréal is based on three fundamental components: performance, scholarship and education.These are reflected in the diversity of the festival program, which includes concerts, symposia, pre-concert lectures and master classes, in affiliation with music schools and universities.\u201cAlthough we are a Bach festival, we don\u2019t exclusively only do music of Bach,\u201d says Scheibler, a Westmount resident who started the festival a short time after moving to Montreal from Germany.\u201cBut as Bach influenced every style of music, even jazz, we are quite flexible, although the emphasis, of course, is on Bach.\u201d Among connaisseurs of classical music, it is recognized that Montreal has one of the largest and most talented artistic communities in North America dedicated to baroque music.The quality of performances here and the response of audiences are considered remarkable.This was apparently one of the reasons hind the Bach Académie de Montréal\u2019s cision to launch the festival.Following two highly successful events, the organizers feel they may now have the means to become an international reference, just like the Leipzig, Ansbach, Oregon and London festivals.Preparations for the next festival, which takes place in December 2009, are now underway.A gala concert, featuring young French pianist David Fray, will be taking place on Oct.22 at 7 p.m.at McGill University\u2019s Pollack Hall, followed the next day by a fundraising baroque cabaret evening F: those who have been listening to

will be reading about the priorities of Canada\u2019s next government.It has not necessarily been the most glamorous federal elections campaign Canadians have seen.In fact, under this very byline in another Transcontinental newspaper, you may have caught a column about how truly uninspiring our federal party leaders are.Voter apathy, however, benefits nobody, and it\u2019s a pretty big problem that penetrates far deeper than simply our federal elections.When | was à student at Concordia University (and that was not too long ago), student union executive elections campaigners faced the same dilemma that \u201creal world\u201d politicians do, that of actually interesting enough students to mobilize a proper vote.Municipal and school board elections have such a dismally low turn-out that the provincial government in Quebec is currently mulling over the idea of holding them jointly.Now, I can understand where voter apathy comes from.We've all caught politicians breaking promises and shaken our heads at them.Heck, this very campaign, is, arguably, the result of a broken promise by our Prime Minister (although he will state until blue in the face that Parliament simply wasn\u2019t functioning anymore).Perhaps none of our various party platforms impress you.Maybe you think it's a mistake to implement the Liberals\u2019 carbon tax right now.Or the NDP\u2019s proposed reversal of $50 billion in corporate tax cuts has you worried about losing your job as companies try to find other ways to save cash.You might be all upset about the Conservative cuts to arts funding, or think the Green Party should not preface their answers to every question with \u201cour first priority should be to live in an environmentally healthy community.\u201d Even if that's the case, though, you are still not entitled to just stay home on October 14.If there is really nobody that you think you can give your vote to, at least go out there and spoil your ballot.This will register you as a discontented voter, rather than somebody who simply could not care about the fact we live in a democracy.So, yes, I'm tired too.Yes, | also realize we're probably going to end up with a minority government, which means, at best, you'll be reading federal elections stories in two years\u2019 time once more.But for the sake of valuing our democratic principles, get yourself out there on October 14.\u201cThe following progr may cortain coarse la & and Viewer eration 1S adv SOL LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Respectful approach to community life needed To the editor: Last week's edition of the Examiner featured two letters promoting two very different approaches to considering construction projects in Westmount.The first, by Westmount residents Mireille Raymond and John R.Keyserlingk of Sunnyside Avenue supports a balanced perspective based on mutual respect and reason to enhance the quality of life of all parties, and not, as has been the case at 27 Bellevue, by depriving some to satisfy others.These residents were writing in support of an earlier article submitted by Councillor Patrick Martin advocating a human and respectful approach to community life.The second letter 1s submitted by the former Chair of the Architectural and Planning Commission, Mark London, currently Executive Director of Martha's Vineyard Commission.His vision is quite different and very much in support of the \u201cwinner takes all\u201d mode currently in vogue at City Hall.The arguments presented by London such as his 10-storey condominium example are so childish and simplistic that they are an insult to the intelligence of the citizens of Westmount.He totally obliterates the fact that some members of council have openly admitted that for the last few years, they have been voting in favor of projects about which they receive such little information that they in fact do not know what they are voting for.This has been the case for 27 Bellevue and likely for 164 Edgehill, two cases that have had to be brought to the courts by respectful, usually quiet citizens.London's interpretation of the currently in-force bylaws, treating them as guidelines as opposed to requirements, which they are, displays his total lack of understanding and care about our community.The current administration has lost its sense of fairness towards already settled existing neighbors in favor of newcomers\u2019 ambitions.Examples of this can currently be examined on Sunnyside, Summit Circle and Summit Crescent, in addition to two cases on Edgehill.These situations exhibit homes that while now likely meeting

changes To the editor: In his recent letter entitled \u201cThe Current ystem Works Well\u201d, Mr Mark London, former Chair of the Westmount Architectural and Planning Commission, has clearly demonstrated why the provincial legislators did not want to leave the final permit allocation solely in the hands of the architects of the Planning Advisory Committe@ (PAC).Architecture is nearly as much an art as a science, and thus subject to personal tastes and can vary significantly from one architect or PAC to another.We got proof of this during our recent court case involving 27 Bellevue, where our PAC, without even a formal impact study, ordered 3 smaller houses to transfer variable portions of their respected and much cherished views to a larger Category 1 house wishing to raise its roof so it might gain additional bedroom space with a fabulous view.In fact we had an expensive front-row seat in the courtroom as our own expert architects, Beaupre and Michaud, who wrote the bible on Westmount houses, vigorously rejected that decision based on the city bylaws and guidelines.While we all admire the technical abilities and acknowledge the essential role in the process, the legislators clearly recognized that architects are neither trained nor experts in all the legal complexities and issues that involve citizens\u2019 rights and that can go well beyond assessing building plans, such that the citizens would be best served by having the PAC be accountable to an elected Council.Seven years after passing the required Continued from LETTERS, page 6 invasiveness,

at City Hall.This process is being fed by.some architects and their clients.These architects are actively involved in co-opting city staff who in turn pacify our elected officials who have now lost their sense of direction.To the point where in the case of 27 Bellevue, Judge Mongeon has had to order the edification of - Boisvert to leave Marianopolis After leading Marianopolis College through more than a decade of significant change, Director General Françoise Boisvert, CND, will step down next June.The announcement was made last week by Board of Governors Chair Mary Liistro Hebert.The search for a replacement begins next month.\u201cSister Boisvert has selflessly and expertly guided the College through a crucial era in its storied 100-year history,\u201d Hebert said.\u201cThe College as a whole is better positioned as it embarks on its second century, in no small part thanks to her hard work and dedication.She will leave Marianopolis a stronger place.\u201d Sister Boisvert joined the Congregation of Notre Dame in 1955.She earned an undergraduate _\u2014 legislation, it is quite revealing to hear Mr London and Mrs Gersovitz, the current Chair of PAC , and Johanne Poirier, Secretary of the PAC and Director of City Planning, all upholding that the permit process be left to them.Even more intriguing is that both Councillor Lutham and Mayor Marks, who sit on both PAC and the Council, appear nostalgic for the prior era and still belittle Council's role to that of rubber stamping and ratifying PAC decisions.While Mr London and his PAC colleagues justify this approach because it saves time, in reality it effectively robs the impacted citizens of a last opportunity to have an accountable body fully balance rights before providing a controversial permit.To suggest that current Westmount councillors, when well informed as is the duty of PAC, do not have the capability to recognize the merits, or more pertinently, the lack thereof, of a building project without resisting to politics is an insult to our Council.To deny Council its rightful obligation to oversee PAC would then result in the exact situation that the Provincial legislators wanted to avoid \u2014 where the whole building permit process could be concentrated into the hands of a small group of individuals on PAC, many of whom could conceivably find themselves there for extended periods.Such a crucial process needs to be, as well as appear to be, particularly transparent and should include maximum time frames so as to avoid sclerosis.To suggest that the current system docs not require urgent changes, which by the way the city has already started to very discreetly implement, reminds us that the biggest obstacle to progess is satisfaction.Mireille Raymond and

of Judge Mongeon.But why didn\u2019t the City itself assume its responsibility and require these studies and simulations obviously called for by common sense when this case was first before it, long before the courts were called to the rescue?The current building permit approval process must be reformed to include proper impact studies on views and intimacy of neighbors.The Mayor has embarked on a degree from the University of Montreal in 1965.She went on to receive a Bachelor's in Education from that university as well as a Master's in Educational Psychology from the University of Ottawa in 1977.For 23 years, she worked at Villa Maria High School, first as a teacher and then as the Principal.In 1981, she became Registrar of Marianopolis.She served as Marianopolis\u2019 Academic Dean from 1988 to 1996, when she became Director General.During her tenure, the College grew by about 300 students and added new programs, including an Arts and Sciences program.In August 2007, the College

is not fine.Furthermore, contrary to what Mayor Marks had said, this does not, must not, equate to greater politicization of the process.It does however mean greater transparency, rigor, governance, fairness and consideration for all parties involved.We suggest existing neighbors should rank high in City Hall\u2019s preoccupations.Considering the examples cited above, we suggest that all yet

officials.A list of sales can be found on Page 22-23.) The million-dollar house in Westmount is now the rule rather than the exception, it appears, as fully half of all the sales registered in May and June \u2014 generally the two busiest months of the year for registrations \u2014 had sale prices at or over $1 million.Because of slowdowns at city hall early this fall, the Examiner only published transfers for the first half of May last month, so we have included registrations in the second half of that month as well as the lengthy list of June sales in this issue.For May, there were 26 deeds involving the sale of one- and two- family dwellings in Westmount, then in June another 28 houses changed hands.Prices were actually quite low in May generally, with an average of $931,904 and only 10 of the 26 for prices over the $1 million mark, then in June the average price shot up to $1,220,909 and 16 sales were between $1 million and $2 million, while another two topped the $2 million mark, both deeds signed on June 30.The huge mansion at 176 Edgehill Road sold for $3 million, and 70 Belvedere Place sold the same day for $2,550,000; six more in May, June the two-month period sold for prices between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000, and another 20 between $1,000,000 and $1,500,000.On the low side, the duplex at 140-42 Irvine Avenue sold for $522,500 in June, one of five properties in the two-month period to go for less than $600,000.The average price:valuation ratio actually jumped from 122 percent in May to 136 percent in June, though the average for the entire year is about 125 percent.Two duplexes in June went for more than double their city tax assessment, with 17-19 Winchester recording a markup of 108 percent and 140-42 Irvine \u2014 the lowest price \u2014 going for 107 percent above its valuation.Meanwhile, 1 Severn Avenue went for 13 percent less than its $831,500 valuation in May and 252 Kensington Avenue sold for one percent less than its $780,100 valuation in June, the only two markdowns in the two- month period.Volume in May was slightly above the 12-year average, for June it was slightly \u2018below that average; for the first six months of this year, 96 registrations is just about exactly the 12-year average of 95.7.If market analysis indicates a slowdown in the local real estate market, it has occurred since these sales were negotiated, mainly in the early spring but including \u2014_\u2014 transfers: one million-plus now comonplace numerous sales negotiated late last year.A total of eight condominiums sold in May and another five in June, bringing the total for the second quarter of 2008 to 15.Highest price was $980,000, registered in May for Apartment 808 at the Pom Bakery (Westmount Towers), 4700 St.Catherine Street West, though this was actually a markdown of more than 5 percent on municipal evaluation.The lowest price was $259,000 for a flat in a nearby triplex at 4823A St.Catherine, closely followed by another flat in the same building, 4821 St.Catherine, which went for $260,000, both deeds signed in June.Overall, the second-quarter figure for 15 sales indicated an average markup over valuation of only 10 percent, compared with the average PassionOrganidation & Residential Member Kitchens, closets, moving may à Business Home office, virtual assistance ORGANIZERS .Le IN CANADA 2 Life Transitions Marriage, divorce, death, loss of autonomy Savannah Quesnel 514.509.9053 Professional Organizer www.passionorganization.com 2608363 25 percent for the year among one- and two-family homes.The only other sales registered in late May and June included three more \u201cusufruct\u201d co-operative apartments at 435-39 Grosvenor Avenue, and a commercial building at 11 Hillside Avenue which for the past 10 years has been owned by the Canadian Centre for Neuro-Integrative Development.| AYA AY Notaries \u2014 Durso & Toone Andrea F.Durso + Philip Toone \u2014\u2014 4635 Sherbrooke West Westmount, Quebec T.514.931.2531 FE 514.931.2534 \u2014 2480419 Come and discover FINALISTE ACQ 2008 QUALITE HABITATION TLE - the most prestigrous site \u201cla pornte-sud\u201d on Nun's Island ENE EB ARS SYMPHONIA DES-SOEURS \u201c Westmount - Melville Asking $459,000 LPES09C A portion of my commissions will be donated to the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital Westmount - Melville Asking $499,000 at Chartered Real Estate Agent z 949-5211 GROUPE SUTTON CENTRE OUEST J.D.INC.BKR.JULIA DANIELS FROM 2600 SQ.FT.TO 3200 SQ.FT.LIVING SPACE FROM 643 900$ TO 831 900$ QST & PST INCLUDED ® ALL SERVICES INCLUDED e MANY UPGRADES e GOLF COURSE FOREST SHORELINE e WATER VIEW e 70 000 sq.FT.PARK * 3 AND 4 BEDROOMS ALSO AVAILABLE FACING THE WATER oN PRI NAS oY] D ;

balanced lifestyle.So when Westmount native and third-year medical student Anne Hospod decided to run the New York City Marathon Nov.2 to raise diabetes awareness and funding, a discase she has lived with most of her life, she had to take extra precautions.\u201cWhat better city to run your first marathon in!\u201d said the 25-year-old from Krakow, Poland, where she is studying medicine at

in support of diabetes research, education and awareness, said she had always dreamt of completing a marathon and raise money for a \u201cworthwhile cause.\u201d \u201cI [used to] consider 5 km a long

set by Team Diabetes.With a few weeks to go, she is confident that she will make it, but more importantly raise awareness about the disease.\u201cI want to empower children living with diabetes to

Szilasi, whose work will be showcased at the Visual Arts Centre's McClure Gallery beginning Oct.9.\u201cIt starts in 1964 when my wife was pregnant with our daughter, and continues until the present day.Ninety-five per cent of the photos in this exhibit have never been seen before.Some are humorous; 1 tried to avoid being too shmaltzy,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI use photography as a means of personal expression.\u201d The long-time Westmount resident is an accomplished and prolific photographer, with over 30 solo and about 50 group exhibitions to his credit, among them prior shows at the Victoria Ave.arts centre.Szilasi has had many expositions in rural Quebec and in Montreal, including a retrospective at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 1997.The upcoming show is on a bigger scale, with roughly 35 black and white photos going on display.\u201cI've also traveled a lot and have had my work shown in ltaly, France, and Hungary.But if 1 don\u2019t speak the language and am unable to communicate, 1 won't exhibit,\u201d sad Szilasi, who taught photography for 40 years at CEGEP du Vieux Montreal and in the Fine Arts Department of Concordia University.His preferred subject matter is portraiture, wherein he depicts \u201cpeople in their own environment and different cultures.My work has been influenced by realist cinéma and literature; my photographs are more of a social documentary,\u201d he said.\u201cAs well, 1 like to photograph street scenes, urban landscape, and architecture.1 have nearly 150 shots alone of the commercial architecture along Ste.Catherine St.\u201d \u201cAfter this show, I'll begin working on a large retrospective that will be held in Joliette next May in collaboration with the national gallery in Ottawa.Later it will tour with about 20 exhibitions, including one in Montreal at the McCord Museum in 2010 or 2011,\u201d Szilasi said.The vernissage for the show at the McClure Gallery will be Oct.9 at 6 p.m.The exhibit continues until

Edgar's and Miss Cramp\u2019s School.In advance of this significant anniversary, the school has launched a wide array of new plans and programs.This new year has seen director Laura Malbogat join the Senior School.Malbogat, a former co-ordinator of an International Baccalaureate program in Zimbabwe, will be setting up a college counselling program with a particular focus on global education.The Junior School, meanwhile, has added a new optional extended day program, run by school staff and co-ordinated with the school\u2019s curriculum.Students in the program will have a chance to work on their homework and take part in various activities linked to their studies.As well, teachers in first and third grades are introducing a project in which students will use a computer program named E-Pearl to create electronic portfolios of their schoolwork.The ECS Middle School, covering grades 6, 7, and 8, will hold an open forum on \u201cGirls in Transition\u201d early in 2009.Parents of girls of that age will be invited to come to the school to talk with staff and ask questions about issues relevant to that age group.Also, in partnership with the Earthvalues Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to the establishment of a way of life based on the ideals of sustainable development, the school has begun a Group Leadership Program to help girls understand social dynamics, the nature of leadership, and how to take leading roles in their communities. et rm tte ES BULLETIN BOARD Continued from BULLETIN BOARD, page 23 {Spaces still available for Centre Greene's
