Before you can live in Montreal, you have to spend two years in Chicoutimi to get an idea of how we live here in Quebec.Sound unrealistic?Well.we're already halfway there.À Er oF GARDENING MIGHT LUFT YouR SPIRITS \u2014 TURNING \u201cTHE SolL, LIFTING, REARRANGING THINGS.Cancer walk Walter cerry Fit for Life A perfect, cloudless daybreak on an August Saturday at Montreal's Olympic Stadium foreshadows a momentous event.Today, the city\u2019s annual 60 kilometer Week- End to End Breast Cancer is about to begin.The fact that Baby Boomers \u2014 people born during the mid-twentieth century \u2014 are well represented here 1s no surprise: since they are the fastest-growing segment of Canada\u2019s population.As they age.health has become the Boomers\u2019 prime concern.For many, the 60 kim walk is a way for this mature set to stay in shape.In fact, most Boomer-age participants have trained for months to be able to complete this event.The 60 km event itself is a microcosm of the Baby Boomer culture with its diverse IS a ways of approaching a daunting ask.The participants are male and female Francophone and Anglophone.walking in teams or walking alone.Some walkers are dressed to kill, wearing stiletto heels and designer clothes, while others relv on their athletic acumen to pound 60 km of Montreal pavement into submission.Regardless of their personal styles, seeing thousands of people marching with pictures of their cancer-stricken loved ones \u2014 grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters \u2014 1s deeply inspiring.As one female cancer survivor in her 60s says: \u201c1 believe that other people whom I don't even know were there for me during my illness.Today, 1 need to pay it torward and be here for others!\u201d The route takes participants from the stadium to Dorval\u2019s Mary Queen of Angels Academy on Saturday.The next day, the walk reverses and returns to its starting point.Boomer tradition Along the way, walkers traverse the historic Hochelega-Maisonneuve district.For over a century, the C.P.Railway shops here employed five generations of Montrealers.Now, the shops are being razed and the rubble of what Pierre Berton called \u201cThe National Dream\u201d is everywhere.What will replace them is unclear: perhaps the pricey condos advertised on almost every cornet.Lining the route are well-wishers, upbeat and generous.Some are cheering, others weeping; all are emotional.An elderly woman breaks ranks, runs into the strect and clasps the hands of a male marcher.She presses something into his hand, even as he tries to refuse it.But the woman insists, because, she says, he reminds her of the husband of her daughter, who died of breast cancer only a few months earlier.The object is her late daughter\u2019s cherished

CUSTODY: \"MUC police are confident they've solved the bizarre March 17 stabbing case at 4750 The Boulevard, announcing the arrest of John Burke, the victim's son.Burke, 42, was arrested last weekend and charged with the attempted murder of his mother, 68-year-old Maria Llamas.\u2018There's something fishy about this case, Officer Lise Bergeron of Station 12 said shortly after the incident \u2014 and sure enough the subsequent investigation turned up no evidence of forced entry, leading police to believe the attacker had keys to the home.Burglary was also ruled out after it was confirmed that nothing had been stolen.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago April 6, 1995 A TREE FOR CLAUDIA: \u201cThe City of Westmount will plant a tree in the park across from where three-year-old Claudia Colletti was struck and killed by a school bus two weeks ago.as a memorial.The three-year-old was killed on Wood Avenue after running to meet her five-year-old sister as she got off the bus.The ivory-silk lilac tree that was chosen grows to about eight metres in height, and flowers later than most trees, the city\u2019s horticulturalist, Claudette Savaria, said.\u201d Twenty-Five Years Ago April 4, 1985 MULRONEY HONOURED: \u201cWestmount plans to bestow honourary citizenship on one of its most distinguished former residents\u2014Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.The 17th prime minister of Canada, a longtime resident of Westmount until his move to Ottawa two years ago, Is to be honoured at a special event here June 5, Mayor Brian Gallery said.The keys of the city are to be presented to Mr.Mulroney and his wife, Mila, in recognition of the prime minister\u2019s \u2018particular achievement, the mayor said.\u201d Seventy-Five Years Ago April 5, 1935 APRIL'S FOOLS: \u201cWith the first of April the local wits got busy and common indeed were fake telegrams, mysterious phone messages asking residents to phone Mr.Stiff at a number which turned out to be the morgue, spurious calls to the police and fire departments and other little practical jokes.\u201d Saputo epitomizes philanthropy Bram D.EISENTHAL @ bramsbrets@vahoo ca Briefly Bram ou know Montreal Impact owner \\ Joey Saputo\u2019s a good sport because he doesn't take the trappings of his business too seriously.1 recently met Saputo at Snowdon\u2019s Cummings Centre for Seniors Foundation\u2019s hot annual ticket, their Golden Age of Sports Celebrity Breakfast, and asked if he and event chairman Mike Wagen would pose for me in front of the actual Grey Cup, the CFL's historic championship trophy most recently won by the Montreal Alouettes.It was, after all, the only pro trophy in sight.\u201cWhy would he pose with that?\u201d Wagen asked.\u201cIt\u2019s not his sport.\u201d \u201cWell, they call it soccer here, but clse- where it\u2019s known as football,\u201d Saputo instantly replied, happily posing with Wagen before the iconic piece of silverware.Westmount resident Saputo, this year\u2019s event honource, appears to be à happy guy in general, it seems, and he was in his clement here, rubbing shoulders with personalities spanning the spectrum of sports in our city and every possible media hack, as well.Alouettes president and player alumnus Larry Smith and several of his players, former Habs Guy Carbonneau, Kirk Muller, Peter Svoboda and his business partner Claude Lemieux, star player and West Ender Eliezer Sherbatov of the Junior de Montreal, former Baltimore Orioles pitching prospect and Cote Saint-Luc resident Rabbi Sidney Shoham and 92-year old Habs legend Elmer Lach, who attended despite feeling a bit under the weather.all turned out to benefit Montreal seniors in crisis, a growing problem here and elsewhere.Disappointing to many was the MIA status of popular current Hab Michael Cammalleri, who had been expected to attend along with \u201crookie\u201d Mathieu Darche, also à no-show.Saputo\u2019s presence, however, made up for the omissions.He is one of the more popular sports franchise presidents in the city, turning soccer into a hugely popular activity in Quebec, both professionally and at the amateur level.Saputo\u2019s roots as a philanthropist are a

team is a non-profit organization.\u201cIn 2002, we were restructured as such,\u201d Saputo told me.\u201cI preside over the team, but any surpluses are channelled right back into the development of soccer in Quebec\u201d Popular author Moore here April 18 for Books & Breakfast Readers should be aware that one of the hottest and funniest latter-day authors will be making an appearance at the Paragraphe Bookstore-organized Books & Breakfast series on Sunday, April 18, at 10 a.m.Christopher Moore, an American author and all-around nice guy whose books sell out and who has a huge cult following, will be in Montreal for the first time ever reading from his novel Bite Me: A Love Story (a sequel to 1995's Bloodsucking Fiends).Quite ironic that Moore will be here just two weeks after Easter, as his hysterical The Lamb of God depicted the life of the young Jesus as related by his best friend, Biff.The venue is the Sheraton Centre, at 1201 René Lévesque, corner Drummond.Tickets are

which is valuation for 3117-21 St, Antoine.2 Valuation is a combination of $707,400 for apartment, $28,900 for cach of two garage spaces.3 Parts of lot 4720, no further subdivisions, no clear breakdown of amount of land in Westmount vs.Montreal.The total amount of land in Westmount according to valuation roll is 53,177.40 square metres with a valuation of $6,580,700, in Montreal it is 119,628.50 square metres with a valuation of $14,804,000.December sales: MUHC transfers lead the way nh Andy À Dodge à Real Estate he huge tract of land known as the | Glen Yards was transferred to the McGill University Health Centre in December, marking the way for this month's soil-breaking as work got under way for the $1 billion-plus superhospital which has been tn the planning books tor McGill since 1992.It was purchased from the Corporation d'Hébergement du Quebec, which exercised options on the property from Canadian Pacific Railways and Atlantic Northwest Railway in June 2001.The land sold in two sections, one supposedly volving land at the corner of Décarie Boulevard and St.Jacques Street, the other land at the corner of Glen Road and St.Jacques Street, though the package had all been part of the same transaction in 2001.The two transactions total $8,545,987 plus sales tax (which would bring the total price to $9,646,000-plus).though the corporation originally paid the railways $18 million tor the property.The city valuation roll indicates just over 30 per cent of the total land is in Westmount, 53,177.40 square metres with a valuation of $6,580,700, but it the price is representative tt would mean the amount attributable to Westmount would be $2,629,848.The first sale \u2014 Décarie and St.Jacques \u2014 involves 137,162.9 square metres, the second one Glen and St.Jacques \u2014 involves 35,643 square metres: according to the deeds both Sothebys - RN transactions involve land in both municipalities, though the proportions are not specified.Beyond those two sales, eight single- family sales and one duplex sale rounded out the 2009 year for real estate in Westmount, including four sales over $1 million and one over $2 million.Prices ranged from $530,000, for a row house at 108 Blenheim Place.to $2,350,000 for a detached house at 4455 Montrose Avenue.The duplex at 4-6 Windsor Avenue, corner Victoria Avenue, sold for 84 per cent above municipal valuation, by far the highest markup of the month, while 490 Argyle Avenue brought the only markdown in December among one- and two-family sales.Condominiums included two on St.Antoine Street, including 3117 St.Antoine, which was converted to condo in November before selling in December for $453,000.Though the property had not been reassessed for tax purposes at the time it was sold, the proportionate representation would mean the price was almost double the valuation, while the highest price for a condo, $683,000, represented less than 90 per cent of tax value.The tally of nine one- and two-family sales in December brings the total for the year to 145, the lowest number of sales in Westmount since 1976.A complete review of the 2009 sales will appear in an upcoming issue of The Examiner.NOTE: The preceding article relates to the registration of deeds of sale for Westmount property in December 2009, provided by city officials.A list of sales can be found above.oT ATT

the same as every month since October, except for January, when only four one- and two- family homes were sold in Westmount.In fact, March is supposed to be the busiest month of the year as buyers seek out homes for summertime moves, but this year the volume is fairly low.The 16 sales include one for only $380,000, touted by agents as a \u201crenovator\u2019s delight,\u201d but in fact the municipal valuation was only $209,800, so the markup was some 81 per cent, by far the highest of the month.The $380,000 price was the lowest since 100 Abbott Avenue was sold last May (and registered in the same month) for $250,000; very few Westmount homes these days are selling for less than $500,000.\"AVERAGE ADJUSTED PRICE OF \"TYPICAL WESTMOUNT HOME, i BY MONTH, JANUARY 1997- MARCH 2010 -

indication the four sales over $2 million in February were something of an anomaly, though Westmount had seen 14 two- million-plus sales in the year before that.And one house sold for less than municipal evaluation, in fact the first this year, with a stunning 14-per cent reduction from tax value.The average markup was 31.3 per cent, compared with 31.0 per cent for February and 34.5 per cent for January, thus 1t is quite consistent.One condominium, à luxury unit at Château Westmount Square, sold in March, prices were static in March bringing the first-quarter total for 2010 to seven sales with an average markup of 23.4 per cent, slightly lower than for one- and two-family dwellings.Prices in the first three months offered as wide a range as ever, with one studio apartment selling in February for $168,000 and a luxury unit selling in January for $2.2 million, so any talk of average prices would be misleading.Seven house sales were reported in adjacent-Westmount areas, including three in Cote des Neiges south of Queen Mary Road, two of those surpassing the $1 million mark, as did one sale in the Trafalgar-Daulac area just cast of Westmount, Prices appear to be strong in most areas but especially those two.Two other million-dollar plus sales have been reported this year in the Golden Square Mile area of Montreal, among 20 home sales in adjacent-Westimount.(NOTE: The

knowledge and thoughts about the landlord/tenant situation in Quebec.Wright does not believe Quebec has a real rent control system, but rather has an approximation of rent control, since landlords and tenants are free to negotiate increases or rarely, reductions, in rental fees.Generally, the advice he gives at the Westmount Legal Clinic to both landlords and tenants is to follow the law, since most of the problems can be resolved by following the legislation and using the calculation forms that are available at the clinic and from the rental board.Individual leases or buildings will have different results, depending on relevant I n his recent Rotary Club presenta- ANDY DODGE & ASSOC.INC.Real estate consultants & appraisers C.P.357, Succ.Victoria, Westmount H3Z 2V8 Te: 482-8560 Fax:

0.5 per cent and fuel oil heating a whopping 7.9 per cent less.This year, a landlord asking for no increase in an oil heated dwelling may, in fact, be getting a 7.9 per cent increase over his previous energy expense.Wright stressed that the increases issued by the rental board are guidelines for discussion purposes where the landlord ENTREPRENEURS ELECTRICIENS MASTER ELECTRICIANS Serving Westmount

have decreased over the past year.Wright learned hands-on the business of advising landlords and tenants in 1987 while working along with rental specialist Arnold Bennett.He later learned how to inspect buildings as an executive assistant at Montreal City Hall., benefiting from his abilities as a handyman he learned apprenticing with his father.A part-time filmmaker and computer techie, Wright dedicates most of his time to clients at his non profit Westmount Legal Clinic, which he operates at the YMCA Westmount on Wednesday evenings starting at 6 p.m.\u201cThe ongoing success of the clinic is that I strive to be fair to both landlords and tenants and that I follow the letter of the law,\u201d says Wright.ND Hv Notaries Durso & Younanian Andrea F.Durso * Arthur Younanian 4635

Marilynn Vanderstaay \u201cDo you know what you\u2019ve done?You've allowed a psychopathic case to walk out of here and roam around with an overgrown white rabbit!\u201d These are some of the memorable words spoken in the play Harvey, one of the greatest American comedies ever performed.When it was first brought to the Broadway stage in 1944, expectations were low because author Mary Chase had only written one play.It turned out to be a smash hit and a Pulitzer Prize winner.This season, Montrealers have the opportunity to see the play performed at the Segal Theatre.And this year they will be able to help feed hungry kids while enjoying the Generations Foundation Theatre Evening on Wednesday, April 21 at 8 p.m.Since 2002 Generations Foundation has teamed up with the then Saidye Bronfman Centre, now the Segal Theatre, for a benefit theatre evening.This year the directors chose the play Harvey, produced by special arrangement with Don Gregory for their event.As per the Segal Theatre promotion, Harvey is the story of mild-mannered Elwood P.Dowd and his best friend, an invisible six-foot rabbit named Harvey.Elwood and his pal are well-known and loved, but when Elwood introduces his oversized rabbit to guests at a society party, his status-obsessed sister Veta is mortified.To spare her family further embarrassment Veta decides to commit her brother to a sanatorium, but upon arrival at the hospital, the doctors institutionalize her instead.Once the gaffe is rectified, the search is on for Elwood.Storyteller brings Jewish tales to the library Matthew Surridge will present an evening of Jewish storytelling at the Westmount Library on April 8 at 7 p.m.The event, titled \u201cDoing the Right Thing: Wisdom Tales From the Jewish Tradition,\u201d will present stories from across the Jewish world and experience, featuring tales of tricksters and kings.The event will take place in the Westmount Room of the Library.Anahory-Librowicz is an experienced Montreal-area storyteller.She tells stories in four languages, and her tales have been recorded for film, radio, and CD.She has performed in Canada, Spain, England, S toryteller Oro Anahory-Librowicz Israel, and Venezuela.A professor of Spanish at the Université de Montréal, Anahory-Librowicz has written two books and her doctoral dissertation on traditional Sephardic songs, and received a medal from the King of Spain in 2006 in recognition of her career in Sephardic and Spanish studies.The Library is presenting Anahory- Librowicz in association with the Montreal Storytellers\u201d Guild.The Guild, founded 24 years ago, meets regularly at the Westmount Library, on the second Thursday of every month from October to June.To reserve a space for Anahory- Librowicz\u2019s tales, call 514-989-5386, or go to the Library\u2019s circulation desk.lsc When he is finally in custody the absurd behaviour of the hospital staff raises the age-old question of who is truly insane and dangerous: carefree dreamers like Elwood or the medical practitioners who \u2018treat\u2019 them, Excellent seats are still available for the Generations benefit at $75 cach, which includes a post-performance reception.A partial tax receipt will be issued.For reservations for this special event, phone Adrian or Natalie Bercovici at the Generations Foundation at 514-933-8585.Generations Foundation feeds nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks to approximately 6,500 children daily in 72 schools and learning centres.Their snacks support various alter school programs for homework, tutoring, reading, physical activity programs and cooking programs.During the summer months Generations Foundation also sponsors children to a Quebec accredited camp for a two-week stay in the country affording children and parents respite from life which is at times chaotic and dysfunctional.The children make friends, learn how to be part of a team, surmount new challenges and simply have fun swimming, boating and hiking, some of the activities found at summer camp.WINDOW WASHING HOMES + OFFICES MONTREAL WINDOW CLEANING 392-1363 700 ans Jes 3335625 1904-2010 Window Cleaning Excellence for 106 Years Les Pavages Spinelli inc.Serving Westmount for over 16 years » Asphalt * Uni-Stone » Cement Work - General Work Free Estimates Carlo : 327-6462 494-4981 £35 /, 3331149 de Montréal My first competition April 7th to 11, come and cheer on Montreal\u2019s young athletes !
