and while it yields few all-out surprises, is a spiri cross-country romp featuring the combined talents of these very funny men.Just as expected, venerated cultural icons such as Tim Hortons, Don Cherry, Celine Dion and the Parti Quebecois are gleefully shot down by Freed\u2019s witty monologues, Aislin\u2019s biting caricatures, and the light-hearted tunes of Bowser and Blue \u2014 whose excellent musicianship is never mentioned in reviews, having been overshadowed by their comedic lyrics, props and onstage antics.We all know there are funnier things than Canadian culture (they include the poetry of Edgar A.Guest, and Three Stooges shorts dubbed in French) but in the hands of these four expert satirists, this big country and its self-proclaimed bland inhabitants have never been more amusing.Oh, and by the way, if you think you spotted a typo in the headline above, go sec the show and all will be explained.* \u201cThe 25th Century Belongs to Canada, featuring Aislin, Josh Freed and Bowser & Blue.will be presented on Nov.27, 28, and 29 at the Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal.Tickets are $38 (Centaur subscribers: $35, students: $30) For more information, call the box office at 514-288-3161.as pre COMMUNITY LIFE Building a new vision for the future Don\u2019t miss sustainable development workshop this Sunday Around Westmount Marilynn Vanderstaay his Sunday, Nov.16, starting at 2 p.m.in Victoria Hall, Joshua Wolfe, Sustainable Development Coordinator for the Public Works Department, will host the third and final interactive workshop cum community- wide discussion to get input to develop a mission statement for sustainable development.Westmount residents are invited to share their comments through discussion groups.Wolfe is verv eager to hear what Westmounters have to say about the subject and encourages those who cannot attend to go to the City's website and click on sustainable development.He says that after this meeting and receiving online input, comments from the three workshops will be svnthesized to create one final statement that will be brought back to the residents at a public meeting.For more information, phone 514-989-5282 The Magical World of Family History Research On Thursday, Nov.20 starting at 7 p.n, Stanley Diamond, president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal, and Gary Schroder, president of the Quebec Family History Society, will give a free lecture about one of the western world\u2019s fastest growing hobbies family history research.The speakers will describe the steps to take to begin tamily history research and name the major genealogical resources that are available to the public in North America, Europe and on the Internet.The Westmount Y is located at 4585 Sherbrooke St.W.For more information, phone Tracy Kamel at 514-931-6770 ext.248.Books, books, books!

under president Doug McDougall, it co-organized public meetings with the City to discuss precautions against the Y2K computer threat.And then there was the long municipal merger and demerger saga, which was a huge issue during president Kathleen Duncan's tenure.The iconic image of Duncan and Jane Martin shivering in the winter cold as they stood out on the corner of Sherbrooke and Victoria selling \u2018Je Me Souviendrai® stickers is an enduring testament to Westmount's fortitude during that unfortunate period.And now, under dedicated past-president Dr, Henry Olders, the WMA continues to play a vibrant and much-appreciated role in Westmount, co-organizing Meet the Candidates mights and electing the Volunteer Citizen of the Year, among many other projects.When current members and guests of the WMA gather this Saturday evening for a gala reception to mark their centennial, there is sure to be a lot of self-congratulatory rhetoric tloating through the room, and for good reason, It's easy to heap praise on venerated insti- LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Meter maintenance needs upgrading To the editor The efficiency with which Westmount gives out parking tickets is of the highest calibre.Too bad that efficiency doesn\u2019t extend .to the maintenance of the parking meters.So many times 1 have putan a loonie, only to have it drop and not register.1 know one is supposed to phone in that mformation, but that is not always possible and 1t is sometimes met with suspicion.| am finding this to be widespread throughout Westmount.Doug Muncey Sir G.E Cartier.Montreal Let's consider the all costs plans to provide a second NHL-sized rink at the arena would certainly mitigate against such a project.which would put an unjustifiably heavy financial burden on all Westmount taxpayers for the benefit of a very few of them.The project also threatens to unreasonably disrupt the lifestyle of nearby residents, typically due to increased traffic and a lack of adequate parking.Particularly at this time of global financial crisis, to fritter away millions of dollars on such a project would be utterly irresponsible.Before any more funds are expended on drilling and other preparatory work.there should be a referendum: first giving Westmount taxpayers all the information, pro and con, concerning the project, and letting them vote on whether to approve the construction of a second NHL-sized rink.Sendus your letters The Examiner welcomes letters from readers on issues of local interest.Letters should be sent to larsenw@transcontinental.c: (preferable), by fax to 514-484-6028 0 by mail to Letters to the Editor, The Westmount Examiner, 345 Victoria Ave.suite 308, Westmount, Qc.H3Z © 2N2.Only letters bearing the writer's full name, address, and a daytime contact phone number will be considered | for publication.Hand-written letters will not be accepted.Letters may be edit- MV uuuay, I vOVEINDEL 13, 2008 www.westmountexaniiner.coln tutions, but in the WMA's case it is all well ed for length and/or clarity.deserved, for few other municipalities can To the editor: John D.Dorey me , rer boast of such a worthwhile civic organization.A cost/benefit analysis of Westmount's Victoria Avenue Westmount Publisher: Denis Therrien News director: Marc Lalonde Printed by: 12003 | N : Di Editor: Imprimeries Transcontinenta inc, { INE x + Nancy Macdonald | ca Regional Manager: Louis Mercier Division Transmag * filer., .;

SLIDING BASKETS A.Beer RM ILLICITE kitchen experience \u2014 REAL ESTATE Two July sales hit $4 million A Real Estate à Andy wo Westmount homes topped the $4 million mark in sales registered in July this year, including a former bungalow at 18 Summit Circle which has been entirely reconstructed and modernized with a view over the entire city, which sold for $4,375,000.The other sale, the mansion at 3803 The Boulevard, sold for \u201c$1 and other good and valuable considerations,\u201d which were declared on the deed as having a value of $4.1 million.Those two top a list of 16 single-family homes for which deeds were signed in mid-summer, helping pull up the average purchase price to almost $1,454,000, the highest raw average price since March of 2005.The average markup over municipal evaluation was 30 per cent, which means the \u2018typical\u2019 Westmount house with a valuation of $998,480 would have been worth just over $1.3 million.Westmount also received six new deeds which had been registered in April and a bevy of deeds registered in June but not included with the regular sales lists for that month.The addition of 13 more sales for single-family houses in June brings the total for the month to 41, the highest number registered in a June since 1999.June is normally the busiest month of the year for signing deeds, and certainly this year is no exception, The Montreal registry office may produce more deeds for July, as well, considering the list provided does not have any sales registered between July 15 and 22 which appears somewhat suspicious, though it is possible.In April, the \u2018extra\u2019 deeds include two single-family dwellings, three condominiums and a share of the triplex at 84-88 Somerville Avenue, including exclusive use of 88 Somerville.For June, the late arrivals include the highest-priced sale of the month, 815 Upper Lansdowne Avenue, which sold for $3,275,000.Besides the 13 single-family additions, a two-family home which was marketed as a single-family home at 4450 de Maisonneuve Boulevard sold for $900.000, and a 70-per cent commercial building at 4263-65 Ste.Catherine Street West, between Olivier and Clarke Avenues, sold for $1,160,000.As for july, the lowest price among single- family homes involved 136 Irvine Avenue, for $440,000, which is the lowest price registered for a Westmount home since February, 2007.That was slightly more than its municipal evaluation, but in fact 588 Lansdowne eee Le re Avenue sold for even less than tax value, though the amount was $740,000.Highest markup for the month was registered in q $1,325,000 sale of 3756 The Boulevard, which | was only evaluated at $771,400.Overall, 10 of the 16 sales in July went for more than $1 milion, again indicating that the $1 million mark is now commonplace in Westmount.Both of the home sales added to the April list and seven of the 13 latecomers in June were for more than $1 million.Only one deed was signed for a cando- minium in July, though two co-operative apartments were sold as well as the small apartment building at 4652 Sherbrooke Street, between Lansdowne and Roslyn Avenues.The three condos added to the April list bring the total number sold in the second quarter of 2008 to 18, with an average markup of only 10 per cent compared to the average markup for single-family homes hovering around the 30 per cent mark.The new sales provided by the registry office bring the total one- and two-family list for the year to 127, compared to an average just under 118 over the last dozen years.By July of last year some 130 sales had been registered, but otherwise this year\u2019s volume is the strongest it had been since 1999.NOTE: The preceding article relates to the registration of deeds of sale for Westmount property in April, June and July, 2008, provided by City officials.A list of sales can be found on Page 9.October sales: still sliding Andy 1 dodge estmount sale prices continued their slide in October, down some 17 per cent since they peaked in November last year.Volume rose slightly from September, but is still well below average, with nine sales in October averaging $1,073,944 \u2014 some 18 per cent above valuation.Prices ranged from $490,000 to $1.795,000, two sales were for less than their municipal value and the highest markup was only 53.5 per cent.Four of the nine sales topped the $1 million mark, but none was over $2 million.Almost one in four of those houses still on the market is asking more than $2 million, but there are no reports of sales in that category since August.Only vne sale involved à new listing, all the rest were properties which had been on the market for more than 100 days, including two which had been marketed for more than a year.The average days-on-market soared to 239 days: in September the average had been 187 days which was the highest figure in two years.The 239 1s the highest we have on record since March of 2000.Some of this is because very little new real estate ts coming on the market now, but much of it is because these listings have been on since the springtime, and owners are getting anxious.Those who listed in the past few months are willing to wait for the spring market, unless they get their price right away.Two condominium sales were reported in October, both of flats in converted duplexes, for prices of $380,000 and $465,000.While 1406000 {AVERAGE ADJUSTED PRICE OF TYPICAL\u201d WESTMOUNT HOME.: i BY MONTH, JANUARY 1996- OCTOBER 2008 | 1,300,000 i BASED ON ACCEPTED OFFER DATES i +.200,000 [LAST vontas 1350

two is only 2.7 per cent, the average markup for the vear is 17.5 per cent.up significantly trom last year when 4 was only 5.5 per cent, an indication the condo market is still getting stronger.Four houses sold in adjacent- Westmount areas, including two on Marlowe Avenue in Notre Dame de Grice.one on Roslyn Avenue just north of Westmount and one on Seymour Street in Shaughnessy Village.Sales in these areas are generally up about 10 percent compared to last year, but the sample size is so small that it is difficult to be more precise about market movements.Now that a provincial election has been called, the local market might be somewhat hesitant and volume might stay at a low ebb, but hopefully by next spring there will be a clearer idea of the direction of both the Canadian and world economies, which should bode well for Westmount's real estate market.NOTE: The preceding article relates to offers to purchase Westmount residential dwellings which were reported by the local real estate agents as having been accepted in October, 2008.Because they are not final registered sales, the addresses and prices cannot be made public.but give a good idea of current trends in local real

unites officers with different types of expertise and allows them to combine investigative, intelligence, prevention and suppression knowledge for more complete, lasting interventions.The MAPS specific responsibilities include collecting and sharing information, identifying specific problem areas related to crime, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of patrols on police territory.In Westmount, the MAP team has been working to quell noise and graffiti complaints in local parks.suspects Image was captured on à security camera.He would usually choose à store without video surverllance.then approach an cmployee to inquire about products and services.Then, he would demand money from the cash register.If the employee didu\u2019t obey right away, he would brandish a fircarm previously hidden in is pants or coat pocket.The suspect is described as a white male Police seek dirty-handed robber Montreal police are on the lookout for a suspect wanted in à series of armed robberies, about 50 years old.He has grey hair and brown eyes, weighs about 150 Ibs and stands 5°67 (160 cm and roughly 08 kg).Te speaks with a strong French accent, has a missing tooth and looks un-kept.He's notorious for having dirty hands.At the time of the LaSalle robbery, he was wearing a blue jeans and black shirt with white stripes.Tes believed to have robbed a store in Westmount on March 31 In carly September, the suspect entered a tanning salon in LaSalle and tried to steal money from the cash register but ran away when he realized that other customers were in the store.The same suspect is linked to a rash of robberies in LaSalle, Westmount and downtown - 27 in all.Police have been hunting the man since August 2007 and this time, they got lucky: the Environmentalist Barlow to deliver Shaar\u2019s Adilman lecture The 18th annual edition of the Mona Elaine Adilman Lecture on the Environment, held at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, will feature Maude Barlow as its keynote speaker this year.Barlow will speak on the topic \"Blue Covenant: The Global Water Crisis and the Coming Battle for the Right to Water\u2019 on Thursday, Nov.20, at 7:30 p.m.As national chair of the Council of Canadians and the co-founder of the Blue the general public and there is no charge.Planet Project, which works for the right to Shaar Hashomayim is located at water on an international level, Barlow is 450 Kensington Ave.expected to prove to a most educational and For more information, call 514-937-9471, provocative, speaker.The lecture is open to 9201298 Cell: Unique project in Quebec: Geothermic I Novoclimat | presently have clients looking for a condo / townhouse with 2500 sq.ft.to buy in Westmount, Golden Square Mile, areas.If you have this type of property to sell, please call me in confidence.Thank you Anna Peras RE/MAX Westmount Inc.1330 av Greene Westmount Q.C.H3Z 2B1 Office: 514-933-6781 REVI Affiliated real estate agent AAPENN 514-572-9345 i 57 Prestigious homes In the heart of the Island of Montreal.By appointement only GIDAL x rae 514-829-8763 NWW 514-984-8194 w.domaineleduc.com: 4, Fe Bip ONE AA pe AC FA A dere RIS Bal dab N ( Furniture taclored to your taste and budget Fe custon-make sofa, love seals, armbar and oltomans in your chorce of our fabrics.ROBERT ALLEN Brunschwig Fils WAVERLY.Eernttomandbe We ture 27 year of Donne docoraling sere OSBORNE & LITTLE COLEFAX pectalécongen depcover, npboloteru.draperter, bedpreads and duvet covers, So furnish your bome at Katbryn Osborne +.Kathryn Osh rnc rr REI 1357 avenue Greene, 2\u20ac étage, Westmount, Québec H3Z 2A5 Nr (514) 931-1357 * Fax: (514) 931-0101 * www.kathrynosbornedesign.con ) Landscape, architecture and quality controlled Enenyy efficient standards Builders with 35 + years of experience a \u20ac] SOOC \u2018£ [ TSJLLISAON aepsany | (UONMIQUILUENIQUTIOLUISS.MMM AS SU ÉCRIRE 2 1 Le ta 0 CAMES de 11 NE pAEÉSTONTS ls EE IR RAP TIE RSR EEE OS PE LE Welcome to Wallpaper 101 LT, An SR 05 TNE REAL ESTATE First of a three-part series on the effective use of wallpaper Lros Greutts constantly be metamorphosing, offering the discovery of something so rare it is actually unique;
