of the MUC's evaluation department, makes a point of briefing the press before the 1992 valuation roll is revealed next Thursday.Surtax can't be used until \u201893 Continued from page 1 mercial-residential occupancies, Mr Racicot explained.In Westmount such properties include Place Alexis Nihon and small apartment buildings housing small shops at street level.The delay in application of the surtax came as a surprise to Councillor Peter Trent, who had advocated its use as a means of eliminating the business tax.Mr Racicot said he had read in THE EXAMINER that Westmount wanted to apply the surtax, \u201cbut they can\u2019t do it yet.\u201d He said most municipalities probably would use it.The 28-percent overall increase in MUC evaluations is composed of a 17-percent increase in market values plus 11 percent for assessing the new system, based on evaluating properties at 100 percent of market value rather than 90 percent.The 11 percent is reached by dividing 100 by 90.\u201cThe key to individual property owners is not how much their evaluation has risen as long as they are consistent with other properties in their area,\u201d Mr Racicot stressed.Anyone who has good reason to believe an anomaly has occurred concerning: their property should\u2019 contact an MUC assessor right away to arrange a visit, he said.Mr Racicot made special reference to the many errors made by the MUC in preparation of Westmount\u2019s last valuation roll compiled in 1988 and said he did not anticipate a recurrence.\u201cThat was a special case that is now before the courts to decide,\u201d he noted.Westmount is suing the MUC for $3.5 million over valuation errors.Mr Trent agrees with Mr Racicot that valuation increases are relatively insignificant in terms of levying taxes for municipal purposes, so long as the increases are comparatively consistent.But when it comes to apportioning Westmount\u2019s share of MUC costs, the more Westmount\u2019s total property evaluation roll increases relative to the other 29 municipalities, the greater will be its share of MUC payments.In 1991 Westmount taxpayers already paid 41 cents of every tax dollar to the MUC.In 1992, city officials predict the lion's share of taxes may have to be remitted to the MUC.This is of even greater concern this year, when valuations are being based on 100 percent of the real estate values rather than at 90 percent inthepast: + +++ ++s+u-0e< Today, Sept 5 Registration for classes at Contac- tivity Centre for seniors is open until Sept 19.932-3433.Registration for Harvest Workshop

Since 1939 B WESTMOUNT Western Valet Service 4460 ST.CATHERINE ST.W., 935-2000 / 933-5434 One man's plans fre station to yield three spacious homes By LAUREEN SWEENEY Basic plans call for Westmount\u2019s No 2 fire station to be converted into three single-family dwellings, one at the front and two at the back, developer Ali Ettehadiah revealed last week.One unit would comprise a tall two-storey-plus dwelling fronting on Victoria avenue so as to preserve the building's historic façade.The other two would be created behind it, one above the other.The \u201crather interesting\u201d division along vertical and horizontal lines would allow for each to have an area of about 3,000 square feet with three bedrooms, Mr Ettehadiah said.That is, of course, if the city's Architectural and Planning Commission likes the developer's dreams.The hose tower may soon be converted into a stairway to a roof garden.And Mr Ettehadiah has been dreaming of owning and renovating the 80-year-old landmark at Victoria avenue and The Boulevard ever since city council announced four years ago it would sell the site to cut maintenance costs.Fire department operations were consolidated at the station on Stanton street in 1982.His bid to to pay $450,500 for the land and building in the name of A.E.Consultants was accepted conditionally by city council July 8.But that was only the first of many hurdles to be cleared before the city turns over title to Mr Ettehadiah.Each step of the way, the city wants to ensure that the heritage value of the building is preserved and its aesthetic appeal as a fire station is maintained.\u201cI think we're on the same wave- Da A 24 HOUR SERVICE AIRPORT RESERVATIONS DELIVERIES Thursday, September 5, 1991 - 3 \u201cSpecialists in insurance

the proposed sale at any stage, it makes financing difficult.Mr Ettehadiah doesn\u2019t foresee any major stumbling blocks, however, since he has been working closely with the city over the last five years as project engineer for the $50-million construction project at Dawson College.\u201cI must provide the city with my basic concepts for the fire station by Sept 8,\u201d he told THE EXAMINER.\u201cUp to now I've had to have Phase HI at Dawson to open for registration so that 7,000 students can come through the Métro connection.Now I'm scrambling to meet my deadline for the firehall.\u201d Mr Ettehadiah was the only bidder for the fire station when the city put the site up for sale by public tender.His design proposal is being prepared by Andrea Wolff of the West- mount architectural firm of Wolfe Shapiro Kuskowski.Revealing some of his plans, he said the first unit facing on Victoria \u201cwould be very much a fire station\u201d incorporating the three large doors of the firehall as well as the two towers either side and a front garden.The first floor would have a living room with an 18-foot ceiling and a mezzanine.The short tower on the south corner would become part of the living room while the taller north tower might be made into reading rooms on different levels.Bedrooms would be located on the second storey with stairs leading to a roof garden.The other ground-floor unit would use the rest of the floor space on that level and have a mezzanine as well but no complete second storey.It too would have a very high living room as well as fair-sized side garden overlooking the Villa Maria farm and the river.The upper one-storey unit would enjoy a spectacular view as well as have a large roof garden.\u201cWe're projecting to use the hose tower to give access to the roof.\u201d Once the basic plans are approved, Mr Ettehadiah must submit detailed plans.Once construction is complete, he plans to sell the homes to individual buyers.\u201cThere's a certain romance to living in a fire station,\u201d acknowledged city operations manager Bruce St Louis, who has been overseeing the sale.He said he hoped time could be saved by the city dealing with rezoning requirements at the same time as design proposals are being reviewed.The fire station must now be rezoned R2 to conform with zoning in the area which restricts build-.ingtosingle-family dwellings.Being a municipal building it is now exempt from the zoning.The size of the firehall allows it to be converted into three single-family dwellings, Mr St Louis said.If no obstacles are encountered either in design or zoning requirements, then the property might be cleared for sale by Christmas at the earliest, he said.The city is preparing itself for the possibility of maintaining the building another winter, however.City council accepted a tender for the supply of heating oil for the 1991-92 season at its meeting Aug 12.Mr St Louis said this was to ensure a preferred price.\u201cWe might have to put the heating on in October,\u201d he added.Maintenance of the fire station in the second half of this year was not provided for in the fire department budget, however.GROUP PSYCHOTHERAPY Less expensive than individual therapy with the additional benefits of the group process For \u201cAdult Child\u201d issues For individuals who come from dysfunctional

September 5, 1991 We Say Mayor Cutler right on THERE are well-meaning persons who have deplored Mayor May Cutler's most recent attack on separatism and on Montreal's Mayor Doré for not taking a stand on its deplorable effects on the economy of the metropolitan region.We say to Her Worship, bravo! Mrs Cutler never has shied away from calling a spade a spade.She is not given to hiding behind euphemisms or keeping quiet on subjects on which others find it expedient, politic or perhaps just polite to say nothing.She has demonstrated before that to say what you think and do what you believe right do not necessarily have dire consequences.We are thinking of when Montreal decided to rename Dorchester boulevard to \u201cBoulevard René-Lévesque.\u201d Mayor May saw no reason why Westmount should fall into jerk-knee step and do likewise with the remaining bit of Dor- chester in Westmount west of Atwater avenue, Thename of Lord Dorchester (Sir Guy Carle- ton) has more significance, even today, for Quebec (as well as Canada) than that of the late premier.It may be argued by English and French alike that, not only did he inspire the keystone Quebec Act of 1774 and helped frame the Constitution Act of 1791 which divided Canada into its two original provinces.Militarily, he probably saved British North America (and an on-going, distinct French Canada) from disappearing into the great republic of the United States of America.This is not to denigrate the significance of Mr Lévesque.In a negative but crucial way he gave Quebec (and Canada) a reprieve by losing his separatism referendum in 1980.Unwittingly, he provided an object lesson: * * * AFTER the Parti-Québécois gained power and the nationalist euphoria subsided, there was a flurry of good legislation and essentially honest government \u2014 but a steady decline in the province's fortunes.Business slowed down, investment was scared off or deferred while separatist philosophy and socialist policy held sway.The Péquistes nonetheless still believed that Quebec\u2019s salvation lay in independence and they worked earnestly to that end, culminating in the hard-fought referendum.The loss to those who believed in federalism was devastating to the government party and particularly to its leader.But there was a phenomenon which was perhaps unforeseen then and barely acknowledged today by the present breed of PQ adherents, ultra-nationalist flag-wavers and others who profess to have little faith in a future united Canada: Once Quebec's voters decided against pulling out of Confederation, thus defanging the separatist serpent and moderating the socialist enthusiasms of the Quebec government, the business world restored its faith in the province and, particularly, the Montreal economic region.We underwent an enormous upsurge of activity.Pent-up energies went into a flurry of construction in greater Montreal.West- mount was awash in big-building construction.The metropolis\u2019 core was transformed.People prospered.Canadian enterprise no longer was past and foreign to Quebec.Unhappily, the return of more traditional, Liberal government has not sustained that renewed vitality, if for no more obvious reason that it is headed by persons obsessed with consensus rather than leading, with so-called \u201csocial peace\u201d rather than good example.In that climate, the old PQ ideologies once more are prevailing through Liberal mouths and actions, and the thoughts of citizens have been permitted to dwell once again on separatism instead of initiative, on isolation rather than co-operation, provincialism in place of true national pride.« * * * THUS, Mayor Cutler's remarks before the Montreal Urban Community council week before last were not only right on but timely.There are persons around who hesitate to utter the home truths which she had to offer, amplified in her column on this page last week, for fear of \u201cstirring up\u201d feared elements.We agree with Her Worship that not only the non-francophone population but all of Quebec would be in trouble if the separatists once more gained ascendancy.Along with the majority, we already are suffering from the mere talk, the threat, the paralyzing preoccupation with the subject of independence.Montreal's economy \u2014 of integral concern to Westmount \u2014 is stagnant.Admittedly because of other factors, too; but simply because no one wishes to invest in uncertainty, where a society is looking in on itself instead of outward and upward, and has become so obsessed by language and \u201cculture\u201d that even decent non-French words of welcome to visitors are not allowed and little else admits of honest discussion.Mayor Cutler believes our real ills should be discussed, frankly and earnestly.We agree.You Say Observer erred in saying Doré not at mayor's speech I am sorry that I erred in telling your reporter Laureen Sweeney that Mayor Jean Doré was not present when our Mayor May Cutler spoke out about the reasons behind Montreal's economic plight at the last meeting of the MUC council.My purpose in talking to your reporter was to call your attention to a meeting that broke new ground for the MUC \u2014 public discussion of issues that affect suburbs and the City of Montreal.Transport, green space, a sweeping environmental mission statement (15 months after Westmount\u2019s and after four years of drafts!) and economic issues.What is usually merely a rubber-stamp assembly became a place for opening the door on closed issues.In addition to Mayor Cutler's impassioned speech, several other mayors spoke on issues and voting had considerable flexibility.Citizens were allowed 80 minutes for questions; not all were about the environment.Some from elsewhere on the island were asking questions of their mayors that go unanswered in the shadowy council chambers of their home towns.It was noticeable that however brief or lengthy the question, the answer was almost always far longer! The Westmount Municipal Association hasbeen following MUC affairs very closely for the past year.At half our tax dollar, it\u2019s the least that can be done! I hope some more councillors and citizens will become involved.Some WMA objectives seem to have taken small steps forward at that meeting.Mayor Cutler has been very dissatisfied with the MUC throughout her term.She has Continued on page 22 our M.N.A.Richard B.Holden says.Voters have final say WHEN you run for elective office and lose, there is a post-defeat period where you are wracked by self-doubt and feelings of animosity toward the public who didn\u2019t appreciate your qualities.I know, because I've been there.Winners frequently misread election results too.They believe that the electors have discovered great merits in their person and/or their party.The truth is probably somewhere in between because a large measure of political success is conjunctural, i.e.being the right person, in the right place, at the right time.During the coming year there will be numerous elections: B.C., Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, the United States, the Soviet Union and God knows where else.There may also be a referendum in Quebec.The pundits and pollsters will have a field day.Ultimately, the people will decide, and they may surprise, upset, please or dismay us, depending on the results.For people who worry about the winds of change, remember the old adages about nothing lasting forever and a change being as good as a rest.Wise politicians know that predicting elections more than two months hence is pure folly.My colleague Neil Cameron has come up with 20 separate scenarios for the next Quebec provincial election.It would be fraudulent if I were to pretend that we were ready for any one of them.Recently THE EXAMINER analysed conventional political thinking in Westmount in terms that did not bode well for your MNA.But that is no reason to stop doing the work for which I was elected, namely representing all the voters in the constituency.If that upsets the narrow range of those Who actively support the Equality Party, so eit._ [ The Westmount Wxaminer EXAMI FI Forty-five Years Ago eptember 6, 1946 Esther Goldenberg tells this story of an unusual animal: \u201cMiss Goldenberg who was sketching this picturesque little house went to get a drink of water and her attention was attracted by a very friendly chicken.The beautifully marked month-old fowl, owned by Mr.and Mrs.Brunet, had been rejected by the other poultry and even its own mother refused to let it eat or sleep with the rest of the flock.Whenever it appeared it was pounced upon and given a severe beating.Endowed it seems with unusual powers of perception the chicken sought refuge in the house and immediately made friends with the house pets.Miss Goldenberg says it will run up and jump into one\u2019s lap to be caressed.The happy ending to this strange tale is that the Brunet family have decided to keep this friendly little waif and are grooming the rest of the flock for the meat counters.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago September 7, 1956 From the classifieds: \u201cSituation wanted \u2014 female.Lady with excellent taste wishes to do gift shopping and wrapping for those unable to do so.Capable chauffeur with own car, willing to take older people driving.\u201d \u201cHave you, or a member of your family, had an accident lately?What kind of breakfast did you serve that day?Recent studies prove that most kinds of accidents have their beginning at the breakfast table.Mishaps, irritability, headaches, and fatigue can be avoided by eating a proper breakfast according to an article, \u2018Get off the Ground with a good Breakfast!

NEW opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common.\u2014John Locke Her Worship May Cutler Says.Not in my father\u2019s shoes I'VE thought quite often about my father\u2019s shoes these last months.As everyone who knows me knows, he was an Irish cop.For 20 years until he retired in 1927, his beat was in the centre of Montreal.He lived stringently.Fear of the future hounded him.Nothing \u2014 not owning his own house, a pension, dividends from cautious investments or his bank account \u2014 gave him security.His parsimony dominated all our lives.It is his boots that I have thought of most in recent months.They were huge, black and so heavy that as a toddler I found them hard to lift.He was issued two pairs a year but used only one pair.The other was put away in its box in a closet.\u201cI will never have to buy shoes as long as I live,\u201d he said.And he didn't.Even though as he grew older they were an impossible burden to his increasingly crippling arthritis.I have never wanted follow my father\u2019s footsteps or \u201cto fill his boots,\u201d even figuratively.For his frugality had one fallacy: it was based upon assumptions about the future instead of the obligations of the now.When he died in his 80s, he left his three children, along with some still never-worn boots, an inheritance, not much by today\u2019s standards but an incredible sum to have been saved by a man who never earned more than $40 a week in his working life.When the will was settled, I could only think how much that legacy had cost his family through all those years of penny- pinching.Money, of course, is always welcome, but none of his children really needed it.We had all made our own way by then.I thought what some of it might have bought to improve family life: birthday presents to show caring, a new winter coat for my mother who wore the same one for 15 years and who seemed to beg his love by showing her own thrift, a college education for his sons who were bright, ambitious fellows.Working your way through college was a little easier when I came along, 10 years later.Headstrong even then I pursued it, although \u201ceducating a girl is a waste of money,\u201d went the refrain.Strangely, the memory of my father\u2019s boots kept returning to me in connection with, of all things, the renovation and extension of our library.Every Westmounter who has lived here, especially those who, like me, have raised a family here, knows what a precious and rare city this is.More than any single building or institution, our library is = ourPSBGM | = commissioner | Joan Rothman says.Our healthy schools LAST week the PSBGM commissioners voted to recommend the closure of West Hill High School in June 1992, since fewer than 100 pupils attend this large high school.The closure of Outremont High School as an \u201cEnglish\u201d school was recommended by the administration, who wish to open this school in 1992 as a French sector high school.The demographic picture is unclear, the future of the English educational system is not bright and various educational pressure groups are still convinced that pupils will come forward despite the gloomy predictions for the ever-decreasing population in the \u201cEnglish\u201d educational sector.Thus the commissioners did not recommend the closure of Outremont High School.Final decisions on these schools will be made by the council of PSBGM commissioners in January 1992.The above report on last week\u2019s meeting serves to emphasize the good news from Westmount\u2019s healthy PSBGM schools.Last Friday when I visited Paul Saunders, principal of Westmount Park School, the lunch program was going smoothly, the halls were empty, the school humming quietly and Mr Saunders was heard to remark, \u201cEverything is going so well, nobody needs me.\u201d We do need you Paul, in a busy building The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 5, 1991 - 5 cd Westtounr EBcamnieR the core of our cultural life, the best single expression of what this community is, our belief in the civilizing effect of thought and openness to new ideas.But the argument keeps arising.Why renovate now?Many of us fear for the future of Quebec and it is indeed a question mark.We who respect all individuals no matter their background, who believe each should be valued and accepted for what he or she can contribute and not shut out, who set the departure of any as a loss to the society (like death, it reduces all of us), who know from recent changes in Eastern Europe as well as from the history of this century, the dangers of an overblown and restrictive bureaucracy that serves its own ends, we who recognize that nationalism is an ever-tightening noose around the neck of any society that adopts it as a value, we all worry about where Quebec is heading.Why, then, at this time, should we be spending money to renew a cultural heritage that may be swept away by forces beyond our control?My answer is simply the rule by which I have lived.No one knows the future.Fear must not dominate daily life.Do the right thing as best you can at each stage.Who is to say that it will not affect the future?That is why Ispeak out against the present political trend in Quebec even though I am cautioned by many to be silent.I don\u2019t want to ever feel that maybe if I had made that little extra effort, shown that extra courage, it might with a population of more than 900 people daily.The school, more popular to the international community every year, has registered well over 500 children and probably will shake down to around 500 students, just a few more than last year.Friday morning Marilyn Tobman, the new principal of Roslyn School, welcomed the kindergarten pupils and their parents to the school.I joined the parents as Mrs Tobman dealt with universal and particular concerns of parents with children coming to a big school for the first time.Our group joined the children at a reception in the extended kindergarten rooms.This service for working parents is supervised by Roslyn parent Katherine Snow, who supplements the regular kindergarten program with enrichment and activities that continue during the working day.Roslyn School has registered more than 700 pupils and probably will maintain the same registration as last year.At Westmount High School I sat in the auditorium while Richard Meades, the principal, welcomed the incoming Grade 7 students and their parents to the Challenge Program.The students were then divided into \u201chouse groups\u2019 and went off on a tour of the school under the leadership of the school prefects.The Challenge Program at Westmount High School is entering its third year \u2014 Grades 7, 8 and 9.Enrolment in this year\u2019s Grade 7 is a healthy 107 and parents are still registering their students for a program that offers post-French immersion, late immersion, an excellent English-language program and emphasis on science and math.have changed things for the better.The rebuilding of our library is an expression of our continued devotion to what we in Westmount believe in: the nourishment of the spirit through the sharing of ideas in private generosity and public service in the enobling tradition of volunteers whose achievements are everywhere around us in Montreal from hospitals to universities, from museums to, yes, especially to, libraries.This is our community and we will reaffirm its values.We did not renovate the library during the affluent years of the \"80s, when it should have been done.For some, like my father, there is no good time to spend money.Now after 30 years of intensive use without repair, the project is urgent.It is also an expression of gratitude and a statement of purpose.As the 100th anniversary ofthe naming of Westmount looms, to renew the library is to say unequivocally: \u201cThis is what we believe in and no one will shake us from it.We will not be paralyzed by fear, made ineffectual by caution, or use an uncertain future as an excuse for inaction.\u201d My father\u2019s boot collection expressed for me the futility of fear of the future.They were the physical evidence of the unused money stored away for 50 years.His obsession took over his life and deprived him of life itself.Strike a blunt instrument abut the only one \u2014\u2014 STRIKES in the public sector have a nasty way of being legislated to an end.This appears imminent for the postal strike, despite the fact the strike is legal and mail began to move this weekend.Pension and unemployment insurance cheques have been delivered, and maybe now the wild emotions surrounding the Canadian Union of Postal Workers\u2019 strike will cool off enough for people to take a look at the issues.No one would deny workers the right to associate with their colleagues in order to pursue common interests.And we can\u2019t fault these associations for using whatever legal tools they have at their disposal.Unfortunately strike action is usually the only tool that unions have to enforce a collective agreement, or bring management back to the bargaining table.Employers may \u201cstreamline\u201d and lay-off staff, orthey may, as the New York Daily News did, hire non-union \u201cpermanent replacements\u2019 to erase any opposition to corporate policy.Management's options, in its continuing antagonism with labor, are as varied as they are numerous.But workers, represented by their unions, have only one option: the strike.No one likes to be inconvenienced, and there are few things more inconvenient than a postal strike.But that\u2019s what strikes are all about.They are intentional disruptions that serve to dramatize workers\u2019 demands, and to hit employers where it hurts \u2014 in the pocket book.Strikes are always a gamble.They inevitably become campaigns of attrition, with each side waiting for the other to wear down first.Though many of us see striking workers as lazy ingrates, the truth is that few workers actually like walking out.Most have families to support, and the disruption usually means that they will be without any meaningful income (besides the pittance of strike pay) for the duration.In Montreal the CUPW decided to ignore the national union's rotating-strikes strategy, and call a general walk-out.A union member summed up the rationale for this decision when he said, \u201cIf I'm Between the Lines MATTHEW FRIEDMAN going to have a gun pointed at my head, I want to be shot quickly, and not have the trigger pulled slowly.\u201d Postal workers want this strike over with quickly, but not before their grievances are addressed.They want Canada Post to discuss not just wages, but the crown corporation\u2019s continued use of casual and contract workers to replace union labor.They want to be treated with dignity.Canada Post, mandated by the Tory government to function as any other corporation and show a profit, wants to cut its workforce, reduce benefit payments by using casual labor, and franchise much of the operation.And we can expect another postal-rate increase shortly.It\u2019s a complex issue, and it's one which should be settled through negotiations.But talks had stalled, and CUPW had been without a collective agreement for 23 months.There are two sides to this story.Canada Post is correct in pointing out how people are suffering, but they also postponed acting on the union's offer to deliver pension and unemployment cheques.Striking workers are \"delivering cheques.Westmount pensioners won't have to stand in line at the Sherbrooke or St Catherine street depots while the late summer sun turns their brains into omelettes.Businesses, large and small, have put electronic banking services and their fax machines to work.We won't get Uncle Jack's postcards, or this month's issue of Spy magazine until the strike is over.But we'll get by.Legislated agreement or not, one way or another, the strike forced the issue.At least until next time. 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 5, 1991 ELECTION \u201891 _ Wright's platform

the same \u201cliveable place it is.\u201d That's his prime reason for deciding to run as a councillor in Ward 2, he told THE EXAMINER this week in announcing his move into the municipal political arena.Mr Laidley, a member of the city\u2019s honors committee to recognize the achievements of outstanding citizens, is a partner in the Montreal office of Diloitte and Touche chartered accountants.He's also completing his eighth year as chair of the board of the Royal Victoria Hospital.\u201cNow is the time for across-the- board cutting of costs at all levels of government,\u201d he explained.He says that after \u201csome experience\u201d in government lobbying, he believes both Quebec and the Montreal Urban Community must be pur- suaded to cut costs.\u201cYou can only get so much blood from a stone.Downloading only changes the burden to different people.\u201d The prime reason he is running for municipal election now is the need for financial cuts, he said.His interest was piqued by recent efforts of Councillor Peter Trent to delve into costs of operating both Westmount and the MUC, he said.\u201cIt got my attention.I'm on his side.We have very similar goals.I've met with him to discuss my intention.I like what he\u2019s planning to do and I feel I could support him.\u201d Mr Laidley is planning to wind up his term as hospital chair in November, giving him more time to change his emphasis to city council.\u201cI look on it as a community service.It would be different, but interesting.\u201d Other posts Af age 45, Mr Laidley is also president of the University Club of Montreal, a governor of the Montreal Ge eral Hospital and a member © fundraising committees for both the Montreal Association for the Blind and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.He is a council member of the Montreal Board of Trade, a member of the Order of Chartered Accountants of Quebec as well as a past- president of the McGill Graduates\u2019 Society and the Estate Planning Council.He is a former lecturer in taxation at both McGill and Concordia universities.As a resident of 654 Murray Hill, he hopes to represent the same ward now held by Mr Trent.Ironically, the previous councillor was chartered accountant Phillip Aspinall who resigned it to become president of Roy- a! Victoria Hospital.As president and chair, the two work closely together.Mr Laidley attended Lower Canada College and graduated from McGill University in commerce in 1967 obtaining a licentiate in accounting two years later.He says he has a good working knowledge of French and has written many articles on taxation for various publications.He plays squash and tennis, rows and skis.He is also interested in antique car restoration.Bridgman wants the \u2018little issues\u2019 of community to get more attention The southeast sector of West- mount is a closely-knit community with a \u201cwhole lot of little issues that have not necessarily been dealt with,\u201d says council candidate John Harwood Bridgman.Increased noise from the Ville Marie Expressway, increasing criminal activity, parking and traffic congestion have all been sublimated by larger municipal matters, he states.This is one of the main reasons the 51-year-old resident of 72 Bruce avenue is going after a seat on council for Ward 8, which has been held for the past eight years by Councillor Peter Duffield.Mr Duffield is not seeking another term.\u201cWe live in a residential area that needs strong representation,\u201d he explains.The way residents banded together to salvage the Unity Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club as a community centre for the area demonstrates the strong sense of family and community in the ward, he says.Mr Bridgman, a governor of the Montreal General Hospital, is senior vice-president and a director of Nichardson Greenshields of Canada td.He states with pride that he has lived on only two streets his entire life: Lexington and Bruce avenues.He's a fourth-generation bilingual Quebecer schooled at Roslyn and Lower Canada College.After graduating from McGill University in 1962, he entered the investment business with Green- shields Incorporated before its merger with Richardson.He now has responsibilities for corporate finance and underwriting for Quebec.In announcing his intention to become a city councillor, Mr Bridgman voiced concern for increased MUC costs and efficient city management.\u201cCouncil and city must ensure in these difficult times that the library expansion and renovation plans tabled to date, if carried through, are carried through in a cost efficient manner within a well-scrutinized budget.\u201d He said he shared common concerns with mayoral candidate Peter Trent on issues of finance and devel opment and was supporting his candidacy for mayor.Mr Bridgman is married to Pen Small.Their son Mark, 18, starts at McMaster University this month while their daughter, Zoe, 15, attends Centennial Academy.350th birthday looking for a trademark song Célébrations Montréal, the people who are organizing Montreal's 350th birthday party in 1992, is holding a contest for a theme song.The competition is open only to SOCAN and SODRAC members who live in Quebec and who make their careers here.Anyone who wishes to submit a song must complete an application form and submit it under a pseudonym along with four cassette copies of an original song.Application forms and rules are available at Célébrations Montréal office, 329 Commune street west, Montreal H2Y 2E1, 872-1992.REM AX Westmount inc., broker 1330 Greene Avenue, Westmount FOR CURRENT MARKET ANALYSIS OF YOUR HOME, call 933-6781 w Nae TAD @ \u2014 ems mn The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 5, 1991 - 7 Small businesses are finding ways around postal strike Westmount\u2019s smaller businesses are coping well with the first week of the postal workers\u2019 strike \u2014 but that may change if it goes on much longer.\u201cThe longer it goes the worse it is, I can't put a time limit on it,\u201d said Judy Mappin, co-owner of the Double Hook bookstore on Greene avenue late last week.Ms Mappin said she retrieved \u201cabout one day's mail\u201d from the temporary sorting centre at the old Pascal store after one week of the strike.Double Hook makes a lot of sales to foreign clients, and she said she dn\u2019t yet decided what to do with :2Ae books waiting to go.\u201cThey're sitting here,\u201d said Ms Mappin of the books destined for the United States and elsewhere.\u201cWe will look into air freight, but of course that raises the price to the customer, unfortunately by 10 to 20 percent.\u201d Over on Sherbrooke street Carlo Comand, owner of Marco's and Pepe\u2019s restaurant, said the strike hadn\u2019t affected his business.\u201cSuppliers will have to come and pick up cheques, but everything else is under control,\u201d he said.Pauline Vickers, assistant manager of Montreal Trust on St Catherine street, said they are using the mail as if there was no strike, except for important documents.\u201cIf it\u2019s important we find some other way,\u201d she said, such as facsimile service, courier, or having the agent take what is needed to the client by hand.\u201cIt's not yet a big hassle,\u201d said Ms Vickers, but also added if the strike goes on much longer, \u201cwe're going to realise not much is getting through.\u201d Some firms are coping well with the inconvenience.\u201cRight now we haven't had too many problems,\u201d said Graham Fletcher, owner of Steinberg on the corner of Victoria and Sherbrooke streets.The company\u2019s internal mail, co-ordinated from a central office on east-end Hochelaga street, has taken care of the company\u2019s needs by organizing with the banks for employee cheques, he said.\u201cCharge accounts are the only area where the strike affects Stein- berg,\u201d said Mr Fletcher.And Ruth Shine, owner of the Bead Emporium on Victoria street, said she has been using courier services for the past two years and found them \u201cwonderful.\u201d \u201cI find the customers are usually in such a hurry to get (their items), we find courier works much better,\u201d she said.Ms Shine added a small percentage of her business is mail- order, and that \u201cwe havent been doing much (of it).\u201d At THE EXAMINER, publisher Don Sancton said the main two areas of aggravation were distribution and billing.\u201cIt results in a lot more phoning and going around,\u201d said Mr Sancton.He pointed out you cannot send in cheques by facsimile machine.He said businesses cope, but the economic costs of the strike are still staggering.\u201cThink of the amount of time given to dealing with the strike and multiply that by the thousands of businesses across the country,\u201d he said.\u201cWe'vecoped with it before, but every time you have to go through it Summit steps being rebuilt The city is rebuilding the Summit steps.The $65,000 rebuilding of the concrete steps from Edgehill road to Summit crescent will take place in mid-October and November, after tenders are presented to council Oct 7, said public works director Fred Caluori this week.DONT BE YOUR OWN REALTOR Many home sellers, especially when the market is hot, figure they can save money and avoid real estate commissions by selling their own home without the assistance of à licensed real estate professional.Alihough this method may appear cost-cutting measure on the surface, rose who attempt to sell their home and don't have the training and knowledge that a real estate professional has, may be opening themselves up to more frustration, disappointment and possible legal entanglements than they ever dreamed about.Because of today\u2019s complex laws, conducting a home selling transaction can be a legal maze, and if things aren\u2019t handled properly, a disgruntled buyer may be able to get his revenge in court.Also, with the million and one problems that most agents work with, getting the sale closed and the buyer through the loan process in a timely fashion will be worth the price of the commission alone.eal Re \u201cThe steps have deteriorated,\u201d said Mr Caluori.\u201cWhat we're doing isastraightforward reconstruction.\u201d The steps were built more than 60 years ago, with their financing approved by council in 1928.The landings between the sets of steps were upgraded about 10 years ago, said Mr Caluori.Advertisement CE state By Reg Morden * * Xx Back to School Sale 4410 St Catherine: Bright 2-bedroom condo facing the mountain.Value priced at $187,000.4855 de Maisonneuve: Buy or rent!

Math and French Plus come to Grade 9 at WHS A program to enrich the math and French streams for struggling students and offer alternative courses for others is creeping up another year at Westmount High School.The program, which offered Grade 8 students the choice of computer science or woodworking, or extra time with math and French last year, has started in Grade 9, where those who do not take math and French have the option to learn Spanish or advanced physical science.The program, the only one of its kind in Montreal, intends to make it easier for students to pass their Grade 11 mathematics exam, which all will have to take in order to graduate as of 1995 (which first affects those now in Grade 8).Now, math is not a requirement for some CEGEP programs and students do not have to take math to graduate.\u201cTo keep the same numbers of children graduating, the math course will have to be very much watered down, or the number of grads will decrease,\u201d said principal Dick Meades.Math courses, designated by the ministry, cannot be made easier.The Westmount High program is designed to give the students a better chance of graduating.COMING EVENTS EVENEMENTS Notices for this column should be sent in writing to: Coming Events, 155 Hillside avenue, Westmount H3Z2Y8.Text should be accompanied by payment of $7.00 plus GST for maximum of 50 words.Only announcements of specific events sponsored by non-profit groups permitted in this column.Auditions The Orpheus Singers/Chanteurs d'Orphée, a bilingual 24-voice chamber choir, invites experienced choral singers with good sight-reading skills to audition for openings in all sections.Our 1991-92 season promises to be an exciting one, with varied and challenging repertoire.For more information, call 489-3739.K.L.D.S.Club K.I.D.S.Club for Saturday Fun begins again on Sept.7th.Childcare for children 2-6 years old.Free registration with this notice.COURSE An innovative course called SINGLE AGAIN will be offered at the YMCA fro 6 consecutive Wednesday evenings, starting September 25.This course will examine personal myths and social stigmas of being singe.Practical tips, suggestions and solutions for common problems will be offered.For information and registration call 866-9941 ext.250.By ALISON RAMSEY \u201cWhen math becomes mathematics as opposed to arithmetic, some kids fall by the wayside.Algebra loses a good number of students,\u201d said Mr Meades.Also this year, the link between university and CEGEP students is increasing with volunteers, mentors and tutors.Last year, there were about 15 to 20 such students coming into help the high school students on a weekly basis, according to Mr Meades.This year, there will be as many as 60, he said.The idea is that tutors will be available for all subjects, for students doing poorly and well.\u201cA couple of kids getting 75s wanted to get on the honor roll,\u201d Mr Meades said of last year.This takes the stigma away from the tutoring program, he added.Computers have also been added, in the fine arts department, at the library \u2014 where an encyclopedia is on file \u2014 and for the special education's resource centre and classrooms.Answering a need for the school to bea community school, foreveryone, a Grade 7 student with Down's Syndrome is enrolled this year.Another Down's Syndrome student, now in a combined Grade 10 and 11 program, entered the school last year and is doing well.To help support these students, a child care worker was added to the staff.\u201cParents were concerned that kids were being left out because we serve the great grey middle,\u201d said Mr Meades.\u201cWe're looking at both ends of the spectrum.\u201d Windblown door knocks woman ¢ to the ground A 94-year-old Westmount woman was knocked to the ground Saturday afternoon outside the Church of the Ascension of Our Lord when a door blew open in the wind, fire officials said.The victim, identified as a resident of Manoir Westmount, was reported to have suffered injuries to the lower back, elbows and leg.She was transported to The Montreal General Hospital by Urgences Santé.The fire department's first re- sponder unit was called to the scene at 4:36 pm but was not required.Strathmore Antiques \u201cMOVING SALE\u201d SUPER DISCOUNTS on fine English furniture & accessories 4928 Sherbrooke St.W.(upstairs) Westmount 488-5122 OPEN: Wednesday-Friday 11 am-6 pm, Saturday till 5 pm ( FOR BUSY PEOPLE USE OUR FAX: 485-6434 OR OUR NIGHTLINE: 484-5453 AGep MARCHE Coward\u2019 > MARKET | 4820 SHERBROOKE WEST, WESTMOUNT 484-8436 ire dei SVACID.EROM SEPTEMBER 3 T EIMIEOUANTITIES; ON SATURDAY: JOIN US FOR A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE AND A FREE MUFFIN : \u201c (FRESH WHITE BUY ONE STRAWBERRY/RHUBARB PIE 100% PURE BUTTER LARGE BREAD = MUSHROOMS AT REGULAR PRICE Leama 99° AND GET THE SECOND PIE CRESCENTS 6/ 92° DOUBLE CRUSTY 226 gr.phy.ea.OF YOUR CHOICE AT 1/2 PRICE We bake them daily CAMPAGNE ea.QUEBEC GROWN LARGE SIZE EUROPEAN STYLE EUROPEAN STYLE Baked like 50 years ago!
