when it stirs us with hope or memories, it soars to poetry.\u2014Harry Mayerovitch He doesn\u2019t hear voices in his head, but if he did, they would probably speak the words of skyscrapers, churches and apartment blocks.To Harry Mayerovitch, that means the words of societies, of cultures and of people past and present.\u201cA building is more than just functional,\u201d he says.\u201cIt tries to speak to us, to tell of who we are and what we are.\u201d His eighth book The 86-year-old former architect, town planner d university professor shares his unique view of Qiu in a new book, How Architecture peaks and Fashions our Lives.Its his eighth book\u2014his second dealing with architecture\u2014and one which he hopes will inspire people to become more aware of the reflections of ourselves in the structures we build.\u201cShelter is one of the essentials for survival, along with food, sex and other activities,\u201d he says.\u201cBut shelter can be a combination of function and art.If a building does its job in the most efficient, appropriate and honest way, you automatically get beau- And how does a building do its job?By providing adequate shelter for the people and activities within, while also \u201cexpressing the highest hopes and potential of the community.\u201d If it sounds as if Mayerovitch is ascribing too much importance or depth to architecture, consider how you feel when you walk past the archaic splendor of a cathedral or when you walk through the vast, imposing lobby of a grand hotel.The buildings are speaking to you, making you feel a certain way and telling you about the people who built them, and those who use them.The mere fact that fewer churches are being built today, suggests Mayerovitch, is \u201can architectural expression of the changing attitudes toward religion.\u201d If he is trying to convince the public that buildings can and do speak and sing, Mayerovitch is (See BOOK, page 12) City backs off on bylaw to control window displays Lack of community consensus cited by mayor By Michael Bourguignon The Examiner A lack of community consensus on what to do about window displays some Westmounters consider offensive, has led city council to the conclusion that it\u2019s best to do nothing at all.\u201cAs far as we're concerned, there has been a mixed reaction on the part of the citizenry, and the Westmount Municipal Association can\u2019t agree on what it wants to do,\u201d Mayor Peter Trent said.\u201cSince the WMA is kind of the bell weather of the community, well.\u201d Council had asked the city\u2019s lawyers to look into the legal ramifications of creating a bylaw to address complaints about displays in the windows of Magnum Opus, a framing shop on Sherbrooke Street.Numerous residents have complained over the years about the nature of the displays, which some consider offensive and sometimes violent.But Trent said public opinion has been divided, and the legality of creating a bylaw to prevent the shop from mounting certain displays \u201cis far from being crystal-clear.\u201d WMA spokesman Stanley Baker said the consensus among mem- (See WINDOW, page 11) « Misunderstanding led to complaint about cleaner, \u2018Y\u2019 director says Recycled bottle blamed for swimmers concern By Michael Bourguignon The Examiner The sight of a maintenance worker cleaning the pool area with what appeared to be a corrosive substance shocked at least one member of the Westmount YMCA, but executive director Toni Braide said it was all a misunderstanding.Côte St.Antoine resident Barbara Glassman recently became alarmed after spotting a worker wearing protective gloves while scrubbing the pool-side while the pool was in use.The worker was using a sub- Purse-snatchers on bikes reported Here's a new one.Men riding bicycles snatched purses from several people walking along Greene Ave.last Thursday morning.A woman who works at Salon Olivier said one of two men on bikes tried unsuccessfully to snatch her purse at 10 a.m.\u201cThey (See PURSE, page 3) < stance, sprayed onto a sponge, from a bottle marked \u2018highly corrosive,\u201d Glassman said in a letter to Braide, a copy of which was also forwarded to THE EXAMINER.She said pool users have complained about skin rashes, sinus troubles and disintegrating swimwear.\u201cI resent the fact that people are cleaning at a time when I am paying to swim, and that they are using substances against which they themselves are protected, while swimmers are exposed (See BOTTLE, page 12) We Clean better than anyone else!

ADAPTOGENIC MEDICINE was first coined by a Russian doctor named LAZAREV He referred to medically effective substances which he called adaptagens as substances which put the body into a state of non-specific heightened resistance in order to better resist stress and adapt to extraordinary challenges.Presently we are going through a period of tremendous changes some call it mutation.For this adaptive syndrome we do have the tool.The tool is a fascinating herb which has tremendous adaptogenic effects.THIS HERB IS GINSENG.YES! GINSENG IS THE PRODUCT WHICH will land you safely to the next millena.Can I go through without Ginseng! CHANCES ARE PRACTICALLY NIL! You can't swim the Atlantic ocean in winter but you can fly the Atlantic ocean in winter.Ginseng for your body is the aeroplane which will carry you the distance.WHAT IS DR.LAZAREYV PRESCRIBING! Answer: GINSENG WHAT DO WE RECOMMEND! Answer: GINSENG FROM THE ROOT OF LIFE WHY THE ROOT OF LIFE! Spectrophotometric analysis was done in Ottawa in 1996 & is available on request.The product is very high in the GINSENOSIDE RBI versus RGI.WHAT DOES IT MEAN RBI extremely rich! This is the part which permits greater resistance to adverse conditions such as: 1.excessive work load 2, excessive exercise 3.exposure to pollutants 4, exposure to excessive noise & environmental stress S.stress due to pathogens, including a)cancer b)arthritis c) diabetes d) hypertension e) heart disease f) respiratory disorders g) nerve disorders h) as well as a variety of other ailments available on request.Remember Ginseng may not be the cure for any of these pathogenic conditions, but it has shown to bring more balance and equilibrium to the physiology when affected by these ailments.Finally how can I take the maximum advantage of Ginseng! Here again in the picture comes the root of life.Start a loading dose of drinkable ginseng 4000 mg daily for 10-30 days maximum, followed by a maintanance dose of tablets 500-1000 mg daily for 4-6 months.Then give your body a 2 month vacation.Repeat the next few years following a chart available at my store depending on your need.Where to buy the product!

Thursday, April 25, 1996 Lessons to be learned from Canadiens Doing business in English, French keeps fans loyal referendum slump, or whatever you want to call it at this point, three things might help them out: some warmer weather, some trouble for the PQ, or a few victories by Les Glorieux, the Montreal Canadiens, who are now deadlocked with the New York Rangers in the first round of the NHL playoffs.Even if you are not a hockey fan, it\u2019s difficult to keep from getting caught up in Stanley Cup fever at this time of year.A big win on the ice could bring a great boost for the city and its citizens.And besides, as a letter-writer pointed out last week, if the Habs were to win it all (not that likely, unfortunately \u2014 we have a young team, but inexperienced) the celebrations would start down by the Molson Centre instead of at the old Forum next to Westmount.Even if the revelers smashed windows and flipped buses, at least they would be starting down at \u2018The Big M,\u2019 and perhaps heading down to Old Montreal from there.Whether the Canadiens win or lose on the ice, Quebec politicians might take some lessons from the Montreal Canadiens Hockey Club and how it conducts itself off the ice, so to speak.F* people still feeling in a bit of post- Game's stars Not only is it considered to be the most successful professional sports franchise in history.What\u2019s just as important about the club is that it shows due respect for the people who buy the tickets and pay the salaries.Specifically, the team conducts itself in both of Canada\u2019s official languages, something that stood out at ceremonies marking the closing of the old Forum and the move to the new \u201cCentre Molson Centre.\u201d Announcements and programs are available in both English and French.The game\u2019s stars (\u201cLe troisieme étoile, the third star, Larry Robinson!\u201d) are introduced in both languages.O Canada is in both languages.Why?To reflect the true nature of the city, and to show some respect for the fans \u2014 the paying customers.It is one of the things that makes the Canadiens a class act.Too bad the same can\u2019t be said for The Bay, Eaton\u2019s (make that \u2018Eaton\u2019) and some of the other big chains with stores in Montreal, which don\u2019t show the same respect for their customers by posting signs in English as well as in French.The Zeller\u2019s and Canadian Tire stores in Alexis Nihon are among the culprits, which is surprising when you consider the area they have to tap into for potential customers.A recent demonstration at the Fairview Shopping Centre on the West Island was intended to get stores to put up English signs in addition to the French, something that is legal, and something that would show a huge segment of their clientele the respect they deserve.Whether the demonstration has had any effect it is not yet clear.But let\u2019s hope it does.Putting up additional signs in English, Flemish, Gaelic or Romansch will in no way harm a French-speaking person's access to signs or service in his own language.It simply offers service to others, too.And what\u2019s wrong with that?In Europe, retail products and food items are typically labelled in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portugese, and so on.All of them right there on the same label, or in the same instruction booklet.It\u2019s the way it should be.We've all heard the story \u2014 call it a legend \u2014 about the French-speaking person who went down to Eaton\u2019s 30 years ago and couldn\u2019t get served in French, right here in Montreal.No, it was not right.But to put English-speaking Quebecers in the same predicament, to completely turn the tables, as if to somehow pay them back for the way things were three decades ago, is not right either.Two wrongs don\u2019t make a right.Especially when the law allows indoor bilingual signs.It simply creates another situation in which one group is getting the shaft, courtesy of some large and: uncaring retailers.It\u2019s understandable that people get fed up.If these larger retailers want to keep their customers, they could learn a few things from the Canadiens, who will hold on to their loyal fans through good seasons and bad, in part because they treat those fans with respect.\u2014 Bernie O\u2019Neill TTS A Lod \u2019 OFF MY MIND ek Has Serge

that the YMCA should have a new parking lot.As a toddler\u2019s mom, it\u2019s very hard to explain where the trees went, and why, in this day and age, asphalt is still king.As a regular library-goer, however, I trust the city of Westmount and the Canada\u2019s evolving immigration policy s you know, ! have just returned À \u2018er a mission to Asia which brought me to New Delhi and Hong Kong.India and Hong Kong are the largest sources of immigrants to Canada.The most important aspects of this mission were to see our operations in the field, to follow up on the Prime Minister\u2019s Team Canada Trade mission, and to convey important messages about Canada\u2019s evolving immigration policy.In New Delhi, 1 met with India\u2019s Foreign Affairs Minister, senior government officials, and civil rights organizations\u2019 leaders.Also, I spoke at a lunch of the Indo-Canadian Club.Both in my discussions and speech, | presented Canada\u2019s priorities for economic immigrants and increased trade with India.Notwithstanding that family reunification remains an important part of our immigration strategy, I informed them of the on-going process to strengthen family class sponsorship, to change our immigration criteria with a focus on high professional and language skills and to redesign our business immigration program to better meet our economic goals.In 1997, Hong Kong, currently a British Territory, will be returned to the People\u2019s Republic of China as a \u2018Special Administrative Region\u2019 (S.A.R.).This impending transfer of sovereignty continues to fuel a sense of uncertainty.library itself will remember to provide for other forms of transportation.Where are the bicycle stands, please, Mr.Mayor?Louise Vidicaire Metcalfe Ave.WESTMOUNT Our MP Lucienne Robillard says.In my discussion with the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr.Christopher Patten, and with senior government officials, and at a speech 1 made before the Canada Chamber of Commerce, I spoke of our on-going process to change Canada\u2019s immigration policy, but I also addressed the issue of 1997.I assured them that Canada is committed to supporting Hong Kong during the period of transition leading up to 1997 and beyond to help ensure long-term viability and stability.Our objectives are to ensure Hong Kong's autonomy and to ) maintain the rule of law.We also want to secure appropriate status for Canadians who choose to live in the S.A.R., and to maintain the integrity of our immigration program vis-à-vis Hong Kong.Canada wishes that it will be business as usual and we are confident it will.While in Hong Kong, I also had the honour of officially opening the Canadian Education Céntre, and visiting the Canadian International School.Finally, 1 would like to tell my constituents, and in particular those who are Chinese Canadian, that I felt very welcomed in Hong Kong and was warmly received by its people. The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, April 25, 1996 - 7 Muc-king around the island?Minister of Municipal Affairs, Rémy Trudel, floated the idea of expanding the Montreal Urban Community's territory to include Laval and Longueuil.Although I had met with him the day before, he did not mention such an idea.What he did tell me, though, is that he is less enamoured over amalgamations of cities on the Island of Montreal than his predecessor.Which is excellent news.But expand the MUC?The reaction of Laval came fast: \u201cno way!\u201d Mayor Vaillancourt even pointed out that some Montreal Island politicians would like to see its role reduced.(Thanks for thinking of me, Gilles.) At least we\u2019ll have a chance to discuss the whole issue at a workshop retreat on \u201cdecentralization\u201d called by the minister for the 23rd and 24th of May.Before | give you my views on the matter, some history might help.The legislation that gave shape and substance to the MUC and defined its powers was hurriedly cobbled together in less than two months after the notorious Montreal police strike of October 7, 1969.It was this I last Saturdays La Presse, the new strike and its generous settlement that caused the city of Montreal to convince Quebec to ram through legislation that would so radically change our local municipal scene.The MUC was born of Montreal's desperate need to get bailed out of its parlous financial state.The MUC was not created through consultation, consensus-building, or careful planning.In fact, given the changed political climate, the MUC could never have been imposed today in the abrupt and cavalier way it was done twenty- five years ago.Or at least, one hopes! In 1982, under strong pressure from the Conference of Suburban Mayors, Quebec agreed to a major overhaul of the way the MUC was governed.We got parity with Montreal on the MUC Executive Committee, a double-majority vote in the Council, and other improvements.Now, the initial indigestion caused by the swallowing up of local services by the MUC has mostly gone away.But some discomfort remains.While we got an effective remedy in 1982 to Montreal\u2019s overbearing power, no real change has been made in the Our Mayor Peter F.Trent says.MUC\u2019s make-up since it was born.In fact, the MUC has picked up some new responsibilities over the years.I have always felt that some MUC services would be better handled by local municipalities.Some should be regional- ized.The assumptions and conditions that led to the MUC being so hastily knocked together have surely changed.To be fair, the chair of the MUC\u2019s Executive Committee, Vera Danyluk, has also proposed that the MUC take a hard look at itself.And she has managed to get its spending really under control.But whenever a public organization such as the MUC looks at itself, it usually does not contemplate doing anything too radical.Grooming is OK, but not major surgery.More on the MUC next week.The Westmount Examiner Teacher, performer says music is for everyone Angela Knock is in tune with her students at the local YMCA with any regularity, you will see her working out.Don\u2019t be fooled, though.Angela Knock may be a fitness buff by preference but she is a musician and teacher by profession.Perhaps then a few musical metaphors might be appropriate to describe this talented Westmounter.Firstly, she comes from a musical family background \u2014 call that her bass clef.Her mother, like Angela herself, is a professional musician and educator.Quality musical instruments were part of their home environment.Students of all ages Moving up from the bass clef, Knock\u2019s treble clef is her teaching; filled with notes \u2014 students \u2014 of all ages and all capabilities (sharps and flats).And if notes build upon each other to create chords, then Angela began building her professional musical career with a Bachelor of Music in music education and obtained a Master of Music in flute performance.She also earned a Music for Children certificate and expanded her research in music education by studying the Kodaly concept with Hungarian specialists.As well, she instructs other teachers and is in demand as a guest lecturer, adjudicator and musical education consultant through- I: you jog the hills of Westmount or are eo: Canada.She recently accepted an invitation to be the recorder clinician at the National Orff Conference in Winnipeg in May 1998.Knock is on staff at the McGill Conservatory of Music, where she has taught Music for Children, recorder and flute (private and group lessons).In her \u2018private practice,\u2019 her students range in age from 7 to 80, from musically- inclined to musically-gifted, who learn flute, recorder or piano \u2014 or a combination of some or all of these.\u201cSome people think that the recorder is just a \u2018preparatory instrument,\u201d she muses, \u201cbut you can move on to soprano, alto, tenor and bass recorders, or the transverse flute very easily.The recorder can definitely be a performance vehicle in itself\u201d She believes, instead of discarding one instrument for another, in adding to it, in building on the skills and knowledge the student has already acquired.\u201cParticipating actively in music making \u2014 alone or in ensemble \u2014 should be a part of everyone's artistic experience,\u201d she says simply, with her trademark enthusiasm.\u201cSuch an experience stimulates the mind and provides not only a sense of accomplishment, but also a positive use of leisure time.\u201d She can also turn a simple lesson into a mini jam session because, unlike many teachers, she often accompanies her students during a lesson on the flute, different recorders, the guitar, the piano, the harpsichord or one of several percussion instruments she has acquired over the years.Her enthusiasm for working with students of all ability levels is the driving force behind her involvement in CAMMAC, a musical camp in the Laurentians which draws music lovers together over the summer to take courses and make music in a friendly and non-competitive setting.This By SHARON BISHIN year she will return as a recorder instructor.Knock has some definite thoughts on the subject of practicing.\u201cParents,\u201d she laughs, \u201coften react with concern if their child misses a day of practice on their instrument, and though I certainly endorse trying to practice every day so that it becomes part of a routine, there should be a relaxed attitude about the whole concept.\u201d Disliked practice Even though she has received numerous awards and scholarships over the years, she remembers disliking the demand of regular practice when she was young, but a sense of satisfaction came to her in time once she had mastered basic technical skills.\u201cOne of the most important things to consider when embarking on music study is finding the right teacher,\u201d cautions Knock.\u201cTake your time, shop around, make sure there is a match of personalities and philosophies.\u201d Knock\u2019s own students are particularly devoted, pledging to \u201cstudy with her forever,\u201d explaining that her lessons make them \u201cfeel\u201d and \u201cdream\u201d the music.Besides those esoteric qualities, though, Knock packs her lessons with concrete learning techniques, refined over 25 years.There is ear training, history, composition, improvisation, learning about the beat, notes, and music reading skills, all reinforced by many handouts and much well- deserved praise, always adapted to the individual.\u201cBut,\u201d she agrees, \u201cmusic is a bit like therapy\u201d At least one of her patients \u2014 oops, students \u2014 will agree.\u201cAngela,\u201d that particular student recently attested, \u201cfor me, music is the best therapy of all!\u201d 55 years ago April 24, 194] BATTLE FOR FREEDOM: \u201cIn commemoration of St.George\u2019s Day, yesterday, the City of Westmount sent the following cable to the Lord Mayor of London, cexpressing admiration for the British people in their battle for freedom.The cable read: On this St.George\u2019s Day, the mayor, aldermen and citizens of Westmount, Quebec, express their admiration of the courage and endurance of the people of Britain in their battle for freedom.May God sustain all of you in your noble cause and bring to our Empire an early victory and a lasting peace to the world.\u201d 45 years ago April 27, 1951 GREENE GREENER: \u201cIt was learned from Westmount City Hall authorities today, that the many times mooted plan to widen Greene Avenue, between Dorchester and St.Catherine Streets, is scheduled to go ahead this year.The street at this point has created something of a bottleneck as from curb to curb it only measures 26 feet.It is proposed to widen this section to 38 feet.The street line has already been homologated on the west side which means that some of the buildings will have to be expropriated.The width of Greene Avenue from the intersection of St.Catherine to Sherbrooke is 45 feet from curb to curb with another 5 feet on each side for sidewalks, consequently there will be slight curve at St.Catherine and Greene.\u201d 35 years ago April 28, 1961 HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW: \u201cThis week sees the end of an institution when the Westmount Barber Shop at Elm and St.Catherine closes and Harry Fitch and Harvey Meloche move their business to Roxboro after 34 years in the city.\u2018We hate to go after so many years,\u2019 said Harry Fitch.\u201cThe district here is changing and the rents are all going way up, too high for us.\u201d\u201d 25 years ago April 22, 1971 AGAINST THC:- \u201cThe Westmount Action Committee\u2019s anti-Trans Canada Highway fashion parade met with a fantastic response, said WAC president David Carruthers.Anti-highway balloons and buttons were sold and over 700 signatures were gathered in two hours on Sunday on Mount Royal.\u2018The Stop the Highway buttons sold like hotcakes,\u2019 said Sally Hoof, 138 Abbott Ave., a member of the committee.\u201d 15 years ago April 23, 1981 FURRIER SHOPS DAUBED: Windows and doors of three furriers on Sherbrooke Street in the area of Claremont Avenue were spray-painted with red slogans sometime between Thursday and Saturday, police said.The messages read \u2018murderers, \u2018fur means paint,\u201d and \u2018EALF,\u2019 police said, suggesting the mischief had been done by someone against the killing of animals for furs.A black liquid plastic had also been put into the lock of one establishment.\u2014 Bernie O\u2019Neill 8 - The Westmount

By Michael Bourguignon The Examiner The Westmount Visual Arts Centre gracefully hit the half-century mark last Thursday, and its directors are looking ahead to an equally graceful future.\u201cI think we serve a vital function in the community, and the new directions we are undertaking will only strengthen that valuable contribution,\u201d said Virginia McClure, a founding member of the Centre and a well- known Montreal artist.\u201cHopefully, our future will be as nice as our past, even better.\u201d McClure, who admitted to feeling like a mother whose daughter had just turned 50, said she would like to see the Centre take on more programs like the one it offers to people with learning disabilities, and higher enrollment for daytime programs.Although it can already boast \u201cthousands of dollars in beauty,\u201d according to fundrais- ing president Yves Guerard, a 50th anniversary fundraising campaign will be undertaken to allow the Centre to realize its goals.These include forging new links with community organizations, introducing a new diploma program in September 1997, bringing in specialized programs, renovating the garage to accommodate more students and programs, and installing an elevator.The Westmount Visual Arts Centre, through its dedication to the fine and applied arts, has been serving the community for five decades, since its humble beginnings as a circle of ceramists known as the Potters\u2019 Club.For 25 years, the club taught ceramics out of basements and rented spaces around Victoria Avenue.As it began to draw more and more from the larger Montreal artistic community, the club expanded into a full-fledged art centre in 1971.Since its inception, the Centre has taught 25,000 students, and today, annual registration exceeds 3,500.President Ruth Shine, founding member Virginia McClure and and Director Victoria Leblanc discuss the future of the Westmount Visual Arts Centre.Questions about the new harmonized federal/provincial value-added sales

Book details \u2018O.J trial of the 1920s By Andre Demers Examiner Special Jean Monet: father, husband, tax and corporate lawyer, can now add author to his list of credits.His new book, The Cassock and the Crown, is about the Delorme Trial.At the time, it was dubbed the trial of the century.In 1922, Father Delorme, a Roman Catholic priest, was accused of murdering his brother.In light of overwhelming circumstantial evidence, four trials were needed before a verdict was reached \u2014 a verdict that still leaves many questions unanswered.Monet's grandfather, Dominique Monet, was the presiding judge at the first trial.Monet stands in his spacious 29th floor corner- office, looking over the city he calls home.A sprawling map of the world is dwarfed by the breathtaking view.At one end, the mountain, the cross and its budding trees; at the other, Old Montreal, the St.Lawrence and on a clear day, the Townships.\u201cI'm a true-blue Montrealer,\u201d he says with a grin.Exposed to two solitudes Born in St.Jean-sur-Richelieu, Monet grew up in predominantly French surroundings until his parents decided to expose their children to the so-called two solitudes of Montreal.They moved to Chesterfield Avenue in Westmount.In 1964, Monet moved back to Montreal after studying in Ottawa and found a home of his own in Westmount.Today, Monet divides his time between his Mount Pleasant Avenue home and another in Florida.Going into law seemed like \u201cthe natural thing to do.\u201d Monet's father and grandfather were lawyers and judges.Dominique Monet died in 1923, shortly after the harrowing Delorme trial.\u201cHe started becoming a figure after I started studying law.| would\u2019ve loved to have met him.\u201d It was in 1957 that a young Monet came across several boxes containing files, depositions and reports on the Delorme Trial.Since then, writing the story Westmount lawyer and writer Jean Monet spent years on book.Photo by ANDRE DEMERS has been an ongoing task, whether he was just thinking about it or laboriously researching the Montreal Justice Archives.The serious research only began in the early 1980s.That is when \u201cit started fitting into my schedule, the purpose crystallized.\u201d During his research, he was startled to discover how many witnesses there were.At the time, an eye witness was more reliable than physical evidence.Forensics was only beginning to emerge as a science accepted by the court, and the Delorme trial was a forensic expert's dream come true.In 1993, Monet\u2019s \u201creal-life murder mystery\u201d was published in French.The English version will be on (See AUTHOR, page 20) r EE TT TT TT TT | KNOW YOUR | WESTMOUNT By Nancy Dunton Stayner Park not always green space O: the site of the old Hallowell estate, three streets \u2014 Stayner, Prospect and Clandeboye \u2014 form a self-contained neighbourhood.The railway tracks and the two busy streets, Greene and Dorchester, separate and define the area.At the heart of the neighbourhood is Stayner Park, a green space that looks as though it has never been anything else.Twenty-six years ago, however, the site was that of the former French Methodist Institute, a school that had been built in 1899.The site was converted into a park, following the efforts of the people in the neighbourhood in 1970.The area, like other neighbourhoods in Lower Westmount, enjoyed a renaissance in the \"70s, as the houses were bought and renovated.Fortunately, much of the architectural detail of the 1890s has been retained and preserved.Built by speculators Most of these houses were builders\u2019 architecture, built by builder- speculators.Whole blocks of houses were built at a time, Stayner in 1893, Clandeboye in 1894.One architect, J.H.McDuff, is

she quit, stayed put, and through her Metcalfe office created Preferential Services, a consumer- savings program that offers Westmounters generous discounts on a large variety of goods and services from a growing number of local merchants.\u201cI really enjoy the quality of Westmount life and | love living here,\u201d said Erskine, who is owner, secretary, computer programmer, government liaison, and chief cook and bottle washer in her one-woman entrepreneurial operation.\u201cPreferential Services was created specifically for members of the Westmount community; to bring consumers and retailers together for the benefit of the entire community.\u201d Preferential Service's win-win policy offers the consumer a $100 membership (and card) that can be used for discounts up to 30% on a wide variety of household goods and services from local participating retail outlets.Erskine also throws in a 50% discount off the first year\u2019s membership fee, and a full money-back guarantee for the first six months of membership.All members are placed on a confidential mailing list.\u201cThe merchants win by making sales, having the opportunity to develop loyal clientele and secure future sales,\u201d says Erskine.Local charities, including Breast Cancer Foundation, Sun Youth and the MacKay Centre, benefit from Preferential Services, which offers a donation equal to 5% of the member's annual fee.Already Erskine has over 40 retail merchants participating and the list is growing.\u201cIt\u2019s so easy to save with us,\u201d said an effervescent Erskine.\u201cEverbody's happy, and the Westmount consumer isn\u2019t annoyed by any inconveniences.Just present the membership card at the cash.\u201d Pamela Erskine Preferential Services 939-7209 John Scholefield Laurentide Aviation If you'd ever dreamed of flying with the eagles or playing hide-and-seek with the clouds, or if you've ever had a burning desire to get a recreational, private or commercial pilot's license, John Scholefield, owner of Laurentide Aviation in Les Cedres, says the time is now.\u201cBusiness in the commercial airlines is good right now.Last year 9,000 new pilots were hired by U.S.airlines alone, and the forecast for 1996 is even higher.Anyone from the age of 15 or 16 (you have to be tall enough to reach the foot pedals) dreaming of a career as a pilot, now\u2019s the time to start.\u201d Laurentide Aviation, the oldest commercial flying school in Canada, was founded by John's father Jack after he retired from the RCAF in 1946.Today, Laurentide produces out between 150 and 200 licensed pilots each year and in the past 50 years has produced close to 600 graduates to Air Canada and hundreds of other international airlines.\u201cIt\u2019s always been a family business and we're proud of our personalized service,\u201d says Scholefield.\u201cOur facilities have recently been expanded and improved, and we have 15 of of the most competent staff instructors anywhere.\u201d Equipped with 18 aircraft of either the Cessna and Piper variety, Laurentide became the first flying school in Canada to have the latest Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) instrument in all its aircraft.Scholefield also owns a $100,000 state-of-the- art video simulator for \u201con ground\u201d instruction for advanced trainees.\u201cEveryone (male and female) starts by getting their recreational permit,\u201d says Scholefield.\u201cFrom there, they can advance to private and commercial licenses.It's a nice way to make a living.Commercial airline pilots make up to $240,000 a year these days.\u201d For those who just want to take to the air, Laurentide offers airplane rides by qualified instructors.Laurentide Aviation Aeroport Les Cedres (near Dorion) 875-6669 wt y 16 - The

clientele has stayed with her as much for her personable nature and friendly ear as for her skill as a respected denturolo- ist.\u2019 ° \u201cI'm a bit of a psychologist.People say they feel like they're coming to see a friend,\u201d says Olga, a member of the Order and Association of Denturologists of Quebec.She has received many letters and telephone calls from grateful customers who have received a touch of personal advice along with their new look.\u201cThe rewarding thing is when you make a change in somebody's life,\u201d Olga explains.\u201cWhen you make them look 10 years younger, it really lifts their spirits.\u201d As a result, she has many repeat customers, and has even made dentures for entire families.Area dentists tend to recommend her to their patients as well.Perhaps her only regret is that the quality of her work prevents her from seeing her regular patients more often.\u201cWhen it comes to dentures, you don't have to go back every year,\u201d she explains.\u201cSometimes, you don\u2019t see people again for five or 10 years.\u201d Olga believes in fulfilling her patients\u2019 needs to the best of her abilities, using the most advanced skills

its beautiful site on the shores of Petit Lac Nominingue, 200 kilometres north of Montreal.And there's always been a Van Wagner there to greet the boys on arrival.Shannon Van Wagner, the camp's director, is the third generation of Van Wagners to operate the camp, taking over from her father, Peter, in 1990.The camp hasn\u2019t changed all that much from the days when Shannon\u2019s grandfather, EM.Van Wagner, founded it.\u201cThe way my grandfather and dad did things has permeated my way of thinking,\u201d says Shannon.\u201cI believe in it.\u201d Camp Nominingue is all about living in and loving the wilderness.Boys sleep in tents overlooking the lake.Canoe tripping is at the heart of Camp Nominingue.Cedar-strip and canvas canoes, used for tripping, are built on the premises.The camp sends out 65 trips each year to Parc Papineau Labelle and Parc La Verendrye to travel through pristine wilderness country.The emphasis is on fun, adventure and self-reliance in a safe, sensible atmosphere.Windsurfing, tennis, kayaking and theatre are a few of the programs taught by topnotch instructors.Campers benefit from a staff of mature counsellors, many of whom spent their childhood summers at Nominingue.Great role models for the campers, the counsellors encourage the boys to share in the communal atmosphere of the place.It's this friendly and familiar environment that brings campers and counsellors back to the camp every summer.\u201cIn a changing world, Nominingue is a tradition that endures,\u201d Shannon concludes.Camp Nominingue 455-4447 RE \u2014 cori

Guillory.\u201cBut as I advocate to students in my lectures, there are four factors that will determine your unique home or office: colour, lighting, pattern and texture.\u201d And Aurélien Guillory knows those four things inside out.If it\u2019s \u201chaute couture\u201d you're looking for, Atelier Aurélien is the place to go.If it\u2019s simply \u201cprêt-à-porter\u201d that you're after, Atelier Aurélien is also the place.\u201cWith haute couture, everything is done for our client,\u201d says Guillory, a local commercial and residential designer working out of his Sherbrooke Street office for the past 26 years.\u201cIt includes interviewing, planning, budgeting, scale drawings, coordinating suppliers and estimates, supervising handling and construction, and shopping for just about everything.With prêt-à-porter, we act as the brains to provide design solutions for our clients.We come in, give .ideas and sketches and refer them to the best possible sources, who we feel do the best work.\u201d Along with 30 years of experience in custom interior design, Guillory has a degree in clinical psychology and fine arts.His company became a member of the Quebec Design Suciety (QDS) in 1976.He also is an author who currently lectures at the Saidye Bronfman School of Fine Arts, and teaches restaurant design at Concordia.While some might hesitate to call on Guillory because they feel he would be too expensive, from many past experiences he says he actually saves them money.\u201cThe right colour costs the same as the wrong colour,\u201d he notes.\u201cWhile many people may decorate a couple of times in their lifetime, I've been doing it everyday for 30 years.\u201d Atelier Guillory 2068 Sherbrooke St.West 932-8141 i PF \"a plaque somewhere inside the United Irene Woods Kells Academy \u201cMankind owes to the child the best it has to give.\u201d That declaration, engraved on Nations building, has been the inspiration and key to success for Kells Academy and its founder-director, Irene Woods, for the past 18 years.Originally founded as the Westmount Learning Centre in 1978, Kells Academy expanded into Temple Emanuel on Elm St., where it stayed until 1990.From that location, the school\u2019s current site at 6865 de Maissoneuve is nestled between N.D.G.Park and Concordia\u2019s Loyola campus.While Kells proudly boasts a myriad of alumni success stories, already this year 10 graduating students of \u201894-95 have made the colle- gial dean's list, exclusively for college students with a 90-plus average.\u201cAs a teacher in the public schools I realized not every student fits into the system,\u201d said Woods, who along with principal Elaine Brooks oversees 200 students and 24 staff members from Grades 1 through 12.\u201cI felt that in smaller tutorial groups these individuals would be given a chance to realize their needs and dreams.Our 8-1 student-teacher ratio gives students the personal touch they need.\u201d Recently Kells expanded, forming the first Grade 12 class in the school\u2019s existence.Woods developed the concept to try and \u201ccreate a place\u201d for students going on to further their education in Ontario or the United States where only Grade 12, and not Cegep, is required.In the past few years more and more immigrant students \u2014 attracted by the intense French-English programs \u2014 have enrolled at Kells.\u201cWe make every attempt to accommodate students in their learning styles, needs and goals.And they respond to it.When a student's accomplishments are recognized, a willingness to learn is the result.\u201d Kells Academy 6865 de Maisonneuve Blvd.485-8565 Jim Heywood Principal Weston School Jim Heywood takes great pride in the accomplishments of the students of Weston School.Established in 1917, Weston's philosophy of tailoring teaching styles to each individual child\u2019s learning styles was an exact match for his own personal views on teaching.À former teacher and principal in the public school system, Heywood has been at the helm of Weston for the past six years.\u201cI believe that this individualized approach builds on children\u2019s abilities,\u201d he says.\u201cUnderstanding that each student has a different learning style we try to adjust our teaching to match their individual needs.\u201d In addition to its academic program and the integration of new technologies into the curriculum, Weston also encourages non-acade- mic activities such as art, photography, sports and outdoor education.\u201cThese additional programs add to the student's overall knowledge and help develop a sense of success,\u201d says Heywood.The 9-1 student-teacher ratio at Weston is among the lowest in Montreal.This helps teachers achieve another of the school\u2019s goals: emphasis on individualizing instruction, the importance of learning to work in a team effort with others and developing social skills that will help them excel in their personal and professional lives.Above all, Heywood strives to build and maintain a \u201cfamily atmosphere\u201d at Weston.\u201cWe see ourselves as a family of different ethnic communities working together with the end result being a sound education and a better understanding of today\u2019s pluralistic society.\u201d SRSA Weston School, 5460 Connaught, Montreal, 488-9191 David Sklivas David Sklivas &

Ackermann Jeweller/Goldsmith A little-known gem tucked away in a multi-storey building on Greene Ave., the offices, showroom and studio of jeweller and goldsmith Robert Ackermann offer a unique look at an ancient art meeting 20th century technology.\u201cIt's a real goldsmith\u2019s shop in the oldest sense of the word,\u201d says Ackermann.The fifth-floor premises feature everything from the most modern of computers to the oldest tools in jeweller\u2019s trade, including rolling mills, forges, and ring mandrels.With these tools, every piece of jewellery is designed and created by hand in his studio, which is just une of the things that sets Ackermann apart from the mass-producers of jewellery selling to the large chains.Ackermunn\u2019s business is divided into three main areas.First there are one-of-a-kind pieces he designs and produces.Second arc small series items that typically can be adapted by choice of colours or stapes.\u201cThese are our bread and butter.\u201d Finally there are the custom orders.Prices range from $175 all the way up to $17,000.Ackermann\u2019s work is worth a look for anyone who wants something beautiful and unique, and which is expected to keep its value.\u201cWe are bringing back what people go to Europe and Japan to buy, but of course with out own style,\u201d Ackermann says.\u201cIf our style is appreciated, then there might be something we have to offer.\u201d Canadian born, Ackermann grew up in Switzerland and apprenticed with Trudel Jewellers in Zurich, which has an international reputation for its contemporary design and impeccable quality.Ackermann is a teacher at the Ecole de Joaillerie et de Meteaux d\u2019Art de Montreal (one is his students is now a designer at Birks).He also is a founding member of the Comité

Familiale The weather may not be the best of indicators, but the calendar clearly tells us spring is here.For doctor of podiatric medicine, Bluma Girzon, that means it\u2019s \u2018spring tune-up time.\u2019 \u201cThis is the time of year when people take off their boots after a long winter and suddenly realize they have feet,\u201d says Dr.Girzon, a graduate of New York\u2019s College of Podiatric Medicine and former chief resident at theBergen Pines Hospital in New Jersey.She came to Canada from her native Lithuania in 1973, at the age of 12.She studied Cégep here in Montreal, and then attended McGill University, before going on to continue her studies in the United States.She obtained her doctorate of podiatric medicine and in 1991, returned to practice at the Westmount Medical Building, where she stayed until last November.She then went on to set up her own clinic, the Clinique Podiatrique Familiale Foot Care at 4880 Sherbrooke, where she practices medicine and surgery of the foot.She is also an elected official of the Quebec Order of Podiatrists, and can be heard on CIQC radio every Thursday from 3 to 4 p.m.Whether on her show or in her clinic, Dr.Girzon is always anxious to debunk whatever myths or misunderstandings may exist about the practice of podiatry.The care of the foot, she says, is an integral part of overall health care, a simple fact of which far too many people are unaware.\u201cI like to think of it as dentistry upside down,\u201d she says with a smile.\u201cIf you have foot pain, you don\u2019t think twice \u2014 you go to a podiatrist.\u201d Common foot problems range from corns and calluses to problems with the toenails, foot injuries or fungus infections, with many ailments in between and beyond.What most people don\u2019t know, says Dr.Girzon, is that these problems can \u2014 and always should \u2014 be treated by a podiatrist.Like the famous chart of the evolution of the human race, foot problems can be traced from birth through old age.\u201cSome children are born with marked in-toe or out-toe foot position, casting and surgery is not always necessary,\u201d she explains, by way of introduction to the use of orthotics is another feature of her profession \u2014 which are custom-made devices worn inside the shoe to control the way the foot functions.Teenagers participating in individual or team sports, are prone to sports injuries and skin conditions such as ingrown toenails, warts and athlet foot, which may require treatment by a podiatrist.In adulthood, improperly-fitted shoes can aggravate all kinds of foot problems.(Shoes only aggravate problems, Dr.Girzon pointedly remarks, they do not cause them.) As the body ages, the wear and tear of life\u2019s experience begins to show on the feet.The need for podiatrists continues throughout the life cycle.In the case of diabetics, particular foot problems may occur that require podi- atric treatment on a regular basis, as often as every two or three months.\u201cIn each stage of life, the feet are important,\u201d says Dr.Girzon, adding, \u201cJust like when you buy a car, you have to change the tires.\u201d The foot, with its 26 bones and more than 30 ligaments, can even be the source of pain elsewhere in the body.Dr.Girzon is therefore trained to sometimes look above the ankle to find the source of the problem below.\u201cI am not only trained to look just at the foot, but to look at the expression in the foot of what is happening in the body,\u201d she explains.\u201cIf the knee hurts, for instance, the problem may not necessarily be the knee.It could be an imbalance of muscle groups in the foot.\u201d If the problem is poor circulation in the legs, Dr.Girzon is also trained to look for and find the telltale signs, such as thinning of skin on the legs or deformed discolored toe-nails.In short, not only is there more to the practice of podiatric medicine than examining feet, there\u2019s a lot more to it than meets the eye.That\u2019s a lesson a young Bluma Girzon learned years ago while working in the Sloan Kattering cancer centre in New York city, she accidentaly stumbled on a career in podiatry, and the rest is history.\u201cI had decided I wanted to save the world from cancer,\u201d she recalls.\u201cOne day the director of the centre told me I should go into podiatry.I didn\u2019t even know what podiatry was!\u201d The director offered an introduction, and she soon discovered the connection between podiatry and sports medicine, a field of medicine that had always interested her.As a doctor of podiatric medicine, she has consulted for the New York and Boston marathons.She also found podiatry to offer a few other attractions.She had found her vocation, but retained her concern over cancer, which had taken Dr.Bluma Girzon the life of both of her parents after they had suffered other hardships.\u201cI was one of the Russian refuseniks, part of that historical generation that was not allowed to leave ex-Russia,\u201d Dr.Girzon explains.\u201cIn 1972, there was a big migration, and my parents decided there would be a better life for me in the West, but my father was a scientist and they would not let us leave.\u201d They were finally allowed to leave the country the following year, and although the clutches of Communism could no longer reach her parents, illness did.Dr.Girzon has recently completed a children\u2019s book, The Toe That Didn\u2019t Fit in the Shoe, which she hopes to publish to raise funds to fight children\u2019s cancer.The book was illustrated by children in her daughter\u2019s pre-kindergarten class.Entertaining but educational, it is intended to gently teach children while alerting parents to the importance of paying close attention to their children\u2019s foot problems.No matter what walk of life you are from everyone experiences foot problems.If you have any question regarding podiatry, please call us at: 487-3668.Clinique Podlatrique Famillale 4880, Sherbrooke W.Westmount ES VE PATTES EEE EEE The Westmount

The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, April 25, 1996 Stained glass creations capture Study school\u2019s sound of music By Michael Bourguignon The Examiner The girls of The Study have been using the Ruth Pease de Villafranca music room every day for the past year and a half, but there has always been something missing.That is until recently, when the room acquired three stained-glass windows, each designed by a student.\u201cWe\u2019ve had many classes and a few events in this room, but we felt it had never been properly inaugurated,\u201d said Headmistress Eve Marshall.\u201cWhat better way to do so than with these spectacular stained-glass windows?\u201d The windows were unveiled at an April 17 musical soirée.Each illuminates an archway in the oval music room, and each was intended to invoke the student\u2019s feelings about what the room means to them.\u201cThey really give it life,\u201d said Chloe # Celina Nahanni (left), Laura Petty, and Chloe Barnabé, at inauguration of stained-glass windows last week at The Study.Phoi by MICHAEL BOURGUIGNON Barnabé, Grade 10, whose landscape motif adorns one of the windows.\u201cWhen it\u2019s bright, they reflect all kinds of light.It makes it so much homier and friendlier.\u201d Look to your right and you'll see the bright yellow flowers of Laura Petty\u2019s window, a design the Grade 10 student described as \u201chappy, joyful and free.\u201d Crafted by father You would be forgiven for thinking the third window is a little special.Celina Nahanni, Grade 8, incorporated the figure of a girl into her window's nature scene\u2014 but you have to look for it.All three windows were actually crafted by Ron Ternoway, president of Verrerie d\u2019Art Classique and father of Heather, Grade 10, and Sarah, a \"93 graduate of The Study.It was his idea to install the stained glass, but he claimed to have had higher inspiration.\u201cThe windows seemed to say, \u2018Please, sir, fill us with stained glass,\u201d he said.\u201cI conveyed their wishes to Ms.Marshall.\u201d A competition was launched to design the windows, and 65 of The Study\u2019 100-odd senior students participated.Under the guidance of art teacher Mary Milligan, they set out to design windows that would reflect the joy of singing in the music room.A panel of judges chose the three winning designs, which were inaugurated, appropriately enough, to the sounds of a musical recital in the de Villafranca music room.Equally appropriate were the perfar- mances of Katherine Kostiuk, of the cl *96; Christine Kostiuk, of the class of 2000; and Jill de Villafranca, former chairman of the board of The Study.They are all descendants of Ruth Pease de Villafranca, whose family\u2019s generosity made construction of the music room possible.Couvreurs Roofing 445 / Tar & Gravel Roofs / Asphalt Shingles / Full Tinsmith Service / Skylights Replacement v Point & Chimney Repairs v Free Estimates v Discount for Seniors Your Neighbourhood Professional IDEAL ROOFING reco.Licensed, bonded & insured contractor Expert Cement and Brick Repairs 481-7439 Lt KALIL EE] fi Mount Royal Roofing 34 YEARS\" SERVICE IN THE TOWN * Asphalt shingling tar & gravel ¢ Chimneys * Brick & cement work * Tuck pointing * Foundations * Waterproofing * Uni-paving * All types of excavation All work guaranteed.Free estimates 687-0094 | Girls\u2019 night a doctor at the Reddy Memorial Hospital.out Carleigh Carter from Ottawa (left) and her new friends Sophie Cowan and Jennifer Butt are all smiles in anticipation of their night out with their fellow Brownie members.The girls were treated to a sleepover in the Arctic environment of the Biodome.The youngsters from Ottawa and their Westmount hosts also shared a dinner together and took a ride on the Metro, among other highlights.The local girls are led by Brownie leader Janet Wilson, Photo by PHIL CARPENTER ALL TYPES OF ROOFING FULLY LICENSED INSURED * Shingles -
