[" January transfers show market continuing strong By ANDY DODGE THE steady climb of residential real estate prices in Westmount continued for the more expensive houses during January, transfer details show, though the sales were not quite as strong as in December.The stone mansion at 64 St.Sulpice road sold for $300,000, a repeat of the record price obtained in December for 757 Lexington avenue.That sale, plus one of $240,000 (a 130.8 percent markup over its valuation for tax purposes) for the colonial home at 3803 The Boulevard, helped bring the average price of Westmount homes transferred during the month to $120,778, a monthly high surpassed only by that of December.Council to meet \u2018Monday City council may take important steps Monday night in trying to resolve its dispute with the provincial roads department over loss of part of the corporation yards for construction of the Ville Marie Expressway (The Examiner, Feb.15).A resolution authorizing the city attorney to act on council's behalf in the matter highlights the agenda for the March statutory session, which is scheduled to begin at 8 pm Monday in the council chambers at city hall.Council is also expected to write off bad debts among its business taxes, to approve two new by-laws concerning its mutual aid firefighting pact with five other municipalities, and to consider tenders for a new computer terminal and several vehicles.City Clerk Peter Patenaude will offer a report on the progress of zoning amendments approved by council at its last meeting, one affecting property Continued on page two fluffy snow.Next week bright but cold.Blizzard conditions always develop this fifth week before Easter, from the first quarter to the full moon.The barometer rises and falls twice, while heavy storms pass in series, each with 10 to 12 cm of Wind damage and sleet, hail and thunder likely.Improving generally Thursday to give us more cold nights and mild, sunny afternoons through the weekend.Blustery winds will drive ice floes into the lower St.Lawrence to halt shipping.While a few homes sold for prices very close to their Montreal Urban Community valuation, the majority went at well above that level, resulting in an average markup of 44.8 percent in 18 sales.The markup figure, when applied against the average valuation, indicates that sales in January were reaching back to the levels of the spring of 1976, when they were the highest in Westmount's history.The markup is surpassed only by levels obtained in April, May and June of that year.Market still brisk The off-month volume indicates that the market continues to be relatively brisk, despite the price levels obtained.Eighteen seemingly straight residential sales (74 and 76 Bel- vedere place were sold to the same person, however) compare favorably to 16 in the same month last year, and are far Continued on page 10 Lifters nabbed Eight shoplifters were arrested in Alexis Nihon Plaza last Wednesday, a peak performance by store personnel and police there.Eight others were collected in the plaza during the following four working days (including Saturday), while another was picked up allegedly trying to steal from a Westmount Square store last Thursday.= G1A 1A!

Donald MacCallum has expressed himself favoring the principle of Westmount MP Donald Johnston's Commons motion that the interests of municipalities be directly represented in ongoing constitutional talks.By all means the cities, towns and villages of Canada, which were nothing as now when the BNA Act was drafted, not only should but must have a voice in the country's future form.Local government is the most significant for the vast majority of Canadian citizens yet gets the short end of the stick, in virtual tutelage under provincial regimes and, thus, is cut out of most federal considerations.However, we must take issue with His Worship and the Honorable Member if they are thinking this can be achieved simply by having the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities join the periodic power playing in Ottawa's old Union Station conference centre.We have just been through another demonstration of the near futility of rationalizing the future order of Canadian affairs through meetings of first ministers, with or without first magistrates.Political leaders are not necessarily best suited to this task.There is nothing wrong with political byplay, or even with a healthy regard for regional, sectional, ethnic or other considerations.But to depend alone upon the representatives of such interests to thrash out new constitutional arrangements is akin to having no one but the guards making prison rules.If national goals and priorities are to be established along with reform of the institutions by which we govern ourselves, persons with broader concerns than those possessed by prime ministers, premiers and even mayors are going to have to be got together: a judicious mixture of ordinary and extraordinary people whose credentials are clearly Canadian before they are regional or provincial, urban or rural, French or English or Ukrainian, rich or poor, white or red or black or yellow.Freedom threatened ONE wonders why Premier Lévesque expends so much time and energy courting United States benevolence toward Quebec independence from Canada \u2014 with little apparent success.Specially when members of his cabinet, riding their own hobby horses, undermine what little sympathy the Parti Québécois may find in the States with illiberal measures which are the antithesis of the American concept of freedom.Editor & Publisher, the leading voice of the U.S.newspaper industry, doesn\u2019t usually pay too much attention to Canada.However, it has devoted its Feb.10 leading editorial to some direct language in our direction, titled Freedom threatened in Quebec.It says: One paragraph of a proposed law to regulate the book industry in the Province of Quebec says: \u201cThe present ruling is not intended to forbid, limit or restrain the rights and liberties of persons or of press.\u201d Don't you believe it.As explained in Montreal's morning Le Devoir, under this law the minister of cultural affairs of the province will become lord and master of books with full power to regulate all activity of the book world in Quebec.Every publisher, bookstore and distributor must obtain a license ora certificate of accreditation from the minister.To get a license to carry on business, every company must open its account books to the minister.To get a certificate of approval, a company must be entirely Quebec- owned and controlled and run by Quebecers.Forty percent of its books must be by Quebec authors.Bookstores are told the number of Quebec titles and non-Quebec titles that must be carried on specific subjects.Le Devoir calls it \u2018\u2018an iron yoke\" on the book field, which it is.The disclaimer cited herewith in the first paragraph is meaningless.Daily and weekly newspapers of that province must realize that if the government can impose such a yoke on book publishing and distribution it can do the same to them.Books are part of the press, freedom of which in a democracy provides the people with the means of expression and dissent.Bill 101, with its interference with free commercial speech, and now this book business trample on beliefs enshrined in the American constitution.Basic freedoms are no less

historical data and the formulation of a history of what is now the City of Westmount, was formed on \u201cThe Historical Thursday of last week at an organization meeting of a group of approximately 25 Westmount citizens in Victoria Hall, under the chairmanship of W.B.Scott, KC.The meeting was called by the president of the Westmount Municipal Association, Roy Campbell, in a circular letter which explained that although some brief history accounts of Westmount are available a really adequate treatment of the origin and development is still lacking.\" Twenty-five Years Ago February 26, 1954 \u201cDon MacCallum, Redfern avenue, for several years worked for an inspection engineering company.He decided to resign.He did.And with him resigned 24 of its employees, including four top men: John Racey, John Lochhead, John Norlin and Eric Rankine.They have now formed their own company, Racey, MacCallum and Associates, Limited, and have built their own building on Sherbrooke street just west of Wood avenue.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago February 28, 1964 \u2018Westmount Police will begin their move into brand-new headquarters on Stanton street \u2018in two weeks, it was announced this Wednesday.Construction of the building on the north side of the present fire station is right on schedule.Plans have been completed for a special feature of the building \u2014 a shooting range which

radiation in the event of nuclear attack.\u201d Five Years Ago February 28, 1974 \u201cOne of Westmount's most valuable pieces of property was delivered into American hands during December, as the land on which Westmount Square is built was sold to a Philadelphia-based insurance company for nearly 2! times its assessed value.The Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company purchased the property, but not the buildings, for $8,056,749 in U.S.funds, on the understanding that Mondev Corporation, which has owned the property since Westmount Square was built, add another $4,000,000 tower to the three already standing.City officials are working on a rezoning measure to allow for a new tower, at the corner of St.Catherine street and Greene avenue.\u201d J PROFILE ) = The Westmount Examiner.Thursday, March 1, 1979 - 5 Art also in the frame By JOAN CAPREOL PICTURE framing is an art and artist Sid Menkes is a master of that art.\u201cThere are very few good picture framers,\u2019 said the enterprising young man with mesmerizing brown eyes.\u2018Most are primarily businessmen and not artists.Consequently they are not trained in this craft.\u201d Sid, as he likes to be known to everyone, has just opened a new framing and print gallery at 4869 Sherbrooke street west.He moved from 353 Prince Albert avenue after four years in business.Sid has called his gallery Magnum Opus, which is Latin for important work.\u201cThe name aspires to what I am trying to achieve,\u2019 he said.\u2018Framing is an art and there are 10,000 wrong ways of framing a picture and one ultimate right way, keeping in mind the budget of the customer and the room decor in which the picture will hang.\u201d Sid is 35, six feet one, popular, obliging, handsome and gallant.With a devastating smile, he is a very private person, showing a reluctance to talk about himself.\u2018There is nowhere else in Montreal that specializes in carrying only graphics and framing combined,\u201d Sid said.\u2018A lot of frames that I sell are original designs and very often I will consult with the interior decorator on the selection of art works and frames to go into offices and homes.\" Picture framing can get a trifle emotional some times, according to Sid.**Most people bring me something they love, to frame, and therefore it is very important that I do not in any way detract from the actual piece itself but try to make the framing as innocuous as possible,\" he said.Art deco is back Right now, Sid said, there is a resurgence of art deco and there are certain trends in framing that bring back this era, such as new burl wood and rounded-corner frames.\u2018Aluminum is 20 years old and is on its way out,\u201d said Sid.\u201cIn its place will be very simple, natural-wood frames.\" Where did he learn picture framing?\u201c1 started framing my own pictures and then studied design at Sir George Williams University,\u201d said Sid, who graduated in fine arts in 1966.His teachers included Alfred Pinsky, Chris Lacki, curator of the Sir George Williams Gallery, and Allan Harrison.After Sir George, Sid got into display work \u2014 store window dressing and merchandise display.\u2018That gave me an overall sense for design of right proportions and colors,\u2019 he said.As for the gallery, it is most attractive, and painted stark white.The prints on the walls are beautifully framed.\u2018It is primarily a works-on-paper gallery,\" said Sid.\u2018This means that all the works are on paper \u2014 lithographs, etchings, silk screen and drawings.\u2019 Prices range from $50 to $3,000.One of the most valuable is an Alex Colville lithograph of an early morning bird in flight.On the walls are prints by David Blackwood, a Newfoundlander; Ghitta Caiserman-Roth, Philip Surrey, Tobie Steinhouse, Roslyn Swartzman, Marcel Bellerive and Luba Genush.The first show in the new gallery will be Caiserman-Roth\u2019s in April To tour across Canada This spring Sid plans a trip across Canada to collect prints by established artists and new, promising ones.Many of his clients come from all parts of the country and the United States.More and more French people are visiting his gallery.As an artist Sid has had one-man shows in various galleries, including Galerie Libre, and has participated in several group exhibitions.He does not display or sell his own work.\u201cRunning a successful business demands a lot of energy and time, and I like to unwind and relax by doing my own painting,\u201d said Sid.\u2018I use mixed media on paper.\u201d Sid was born in Montreal and attended Northmount High School.He is married to Arlene Rill who teaches at Bancroft School.He believes in keeping fit.He jogs and plays tennis.Does he have fun owning a gallery?\u201cOh, yes, I find it very exciting and 1 love what I am doing,\u2019 he replied.As reported elsewhere in The Examiner, last Thursday a new board of directors and a new executive were elected to lead the St-Henri-Westmount Federal Liberal Association.Mrs.Virginia Heward opted to become a vice-president after acting as interim president since the departure of Mrs.Diana Weatherall.She has done an outstanding job during that period.While there are many new members, there is also substantial continuity, particularly with Vic Drury becoming president.I was delighted that Dale Thomson is remaining on the board of directors.The new administration also reflects the bilingual nature of the new riding and proceedings were conducted in both languages during last week's meeting.Donald J.Johnston says.New riding association 5 Often unilingual members of the association may feel uncomfortable in such circumstances \u2014 but they should not.The cost of simultaneous translation renders that solution uneconomic, but a summary of any significant comments should be given in the other language and will be in future.Another gratifying development is the increasing level of youth participation which was apparent at the meeting.In Ottawa the standing committee on finance, trade and economic affairs has moved into closed-door sessions to complete its report on Bill C-15, the new bank act.There will be morning, afternoon and evening meetings this week with a view to presenting a report before March 5.This work should be of value, even if the general election is called before the new act is adopted.Sidney Menkes \u2014 Examiner photo by HICK KERRIGAN eur M.N.A.George Springate says.New session: The Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec will address the National Assembly next Tuesday.He will deliver the traditional throne speech to open the new session.The speech will have been prepared by the Parti Québécois government.It will contain the government's plans, pledges, promises and potential areas of concern.The economy will be highlighted.The PQ has little choice in this regard.Look also for the government to announce how it will proceed with the upcoming contract negotiations with civil servants, hospital workers and teachers.Many believe these talks will seal the fate of the Lévesque team.Labor unions supported the PQ in 1976.They now want their reward.But, the government doesn\u2019t have the funds.So the battle lines are being drawn.Watch for very interesting events in these contract discussions.Debate on the throne speech will commence next Wednesday.This provides all members with opportunity to speak in the Assembly.Government members will support the plans and proposed programs while opposition parties will attack the government record and show why the plans are not 3 the economy | sufficient.This spring's session will continue through to June 22.The 16 weeks should not hold too many surprises, legislatively speaking.Departmental budgets and spending estimates will be studied.The budget will be presented, with ensuing debate.Most of the activity will occur outside the National Assembly.The federal election and the two provincial by-elections are the major points of interest.WESTMOUNT WANDERINGS Congratulations to Al Fisher and Lancer Senior Citizens for their cameo roles in a police film that was shot in part at the Fairview Shopping Centre.Deepest thanks to those at the Westmount Library for their kind note regarding a grant that I arranged.Knowing that the spring session would commence next Tuesday, in December I agreed to be in Southern California and surrounding neighborhood today through Sunday.Will return late Sunday night.Members of the West- mount Senior Citizens group will be traveling to Quebec City in June as my guests to tour the National Assembly. 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, March 1, 1979 Beyond in the bigger city surrounding us Yet another English language theatre group has burst upon the Montreal theatre scene; this is either a statement about the health of English language theatre or a triumph of youthful optimism over reality.Let \u2018us assume the former.The group is called the \u2018Mainline Theatre Company and they have produced a first show that is, as they promised, entertaining.However, given the material with which they started, the show could never really fail.Called \u2018Le Tarot,\u201d the production is a musical revue that attempts to evoke the magical atmosphere of the theatre with some of the best songs from Broadway shows and some from more obscure productions.Westmount's by RICK KERRIGAN A random sampler of things to see or do Borders The material is uniformly strong and is woven together effectively by director Grémar Farlang, a mythical character comprising Gregg Ernst, Mary Burns, Geraldine Farrell, and Jack Langedyke, the company\u2019s four actors.All are products of Concordia University's theatre program and have appeared in numerous Montreal theatre productions.The show starts with the actors approaching the stage from the audience where they have been waiting on tables in the small café-theatre in Vanier College.We follow them through acting class and the trials and tribulations of auditions and the theatre life.Much of the show's humor derives from the juxtaposition To all out cuslonners .{come and we us Clpen - dye \u201cweek We are now fully licensed .the Missing link to an already relaxing atmosphere.ts proud lo announce 1359 Greene Ave.932-7777 Caledonia Curling Chib 11 Hillside Avenue SPECIAL GUESTS Phil Johnston Art Buckmaster Past Presidents R.S.V.P.468-7584 WESTMOUNT HIGH OLD BOYS\u2019 ASSN.Dinner meeting, March 7, 5:30 p.m.Trip to Ireland Courtesy AerLingus * $710.00 DOOR PRIZE of the musical material with the scenes being enacted: the girl singing an impassioned \u201cYou made me love you\u2019 while her boyfriend sits engrossed in a sports event on TV and an old lady vamping through a spicy rendition of \u2018\u2018Broadway Baby.\" In unison and harmony, the group's singing is very strong and even haunting.Individually, the actors\u2019 voices are sometimes taxed by some of the more difficult songs but, for the most part, they are good.Occasionally, however, the song is so strong it cries out for a more dynamic voice.The two women's voices in particular had very limited ranges.\u201cLe Tarot\u201d will make you laugh and it will entertain you.Despite the flaws, the show is carried by the enthusiasm of the actors who very obviously are enjoying what they are doing.The intimate atmosphere of the little café-theatre (with free coffee) is well suited to this type of revue and even the small opening night audience filled enough tables to give the illusion of a bigger audience.Unfortunately, the location of the theatre at Vanier College, 821 Ste.Croix boulevard in St.Laurent, is not conducive to drawing large audiences.It is, however, fairly easy to reach for Westmounters: not much more than a quick run up Decarie.The difficult part is finding the theatre once in the building, a problem that should be rectified by the company.Don't let these minor inconveniences keep you from an evening of solid entertainment.The show runs until March 11, Thursdays to Sundays, 8:00 pm.Tickets are $4.00 ($3.00 for students and senior citizens).Speaking of revues, McGill's \u201cRed and White Revue\u201d is back this year for a two-night stand Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3, at 8:00 pm in Redpath Hall opposite the student union on MacTavish.For your

American buffalo nickel and the owner of the store and some friends decide to steal it from him.The play is written by David Mamet and it won the New York Critics Circle Award in 1976 and 1977 as the best American play of the year.For information and reservations call 733-2039.Montrealers will have a chance to see some of the city\u2019s contemporary choreographers and dancers as well as those of

Galerie Mira Godard, 1490 Sherbrooke street west, until March 10.A native of Toronto, Mrs.McCall, wife of McGill philosophy Prof.Storrs McCall, has studied at McGill, University of Pittsburgh and Concordia University.She began showing nationally in 1975 with silkscreen prints and her work has since been in exhibits in many locations in the US.and Canada as well as in the United Kingdom and, last year, at the Tth Graphics International in Krakow, Poland.She has had seven solo exhibitions and has won awards in several local and national exhibitions entered.In the current exhibition at the Galerie Godard, the artist has combined geometric architectural forms suggesting window frames with a subtle atmospheric rendering of landscape.The contrast between the two produces tension in the distance that separates them.paper go through a variety of movements for the sake of movement and with no apparent purpose.Such is art.The gallery implies that the artist's work is better known in Europe than in North America.He is currently teaching at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.The annual Lenten series of concerts at Christ Church Cathedral begins Monday, March 5, at 12:30 pm

to try to win $300, $200 or $100.The contest, open to all students either resident of or going to school in Westmount, is called the city's \u2018\u2018Scholarship Trust Fund Essay Contest\u2019 for those writing on \u2018\u2018some aspect of municipal government.\u201d Contestants should not be put off by the name, however.The prize money can be won simply by writing 2,000 to 5,000 words about anything related to local city administration.One could, for instance, attend a city council meeting, then talk to the mayor or aldermen about the items which came up at the meeting.Or, one could explore the city's greenhouses, talk with personnel in the parks department to find out how much they have to do in a year's work, or, if they're not busy cleaning streets, talk with public works officials about what's involved in snow removal.\u201cKids don't like writing essays these days,\u2019 one unnamed principal told Ald.Muriel Kaplan recently when she tried to promote the contest in local schools.\u201cThere are all kinds of contests \u2014 they're a dime a dozen.\u201d Prizes in this one, though, are much more than a dime.For details, contact local school principals or call city hall, 935-8531.LIBRARY .Continued from page 13 was the librarian at the Park Extension branch for 10 years until last June.She is now at the Richmond Square branch in Little Burgundy.Other expenses incurred by the library include the purchasing of books and the operation of the bookbindery which is ultimately a money- saver.All books are acquired new, says Mrs.Parsons, because used books often are in poor shape and are missing the dust jacket, which can be the eye-appealing aspect of a book.Some books are donated to the library by the Westmount- based Reader's Digest.The library is currently in the middle of its fund-raising campaign for $22,000 of its $68,000 operating budget.The remaining $46,000 is provided by the City of Montreal.The campaign is carried out by mail using a file of names.Mrs.Parsons adds, however, Registration set for soccer program By PIERRE GOAD There might still be snow on the ground but plans for Westmount\u2019s spring soccer program have already been finalized.The soccer program has been functioning for several years but it is only in the past two that there has been a great increase in registration and participation.Registrations for both the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 programs will start Monday, April 2, and will continue through to Friday, April 20, at the recreation department office in the ice rink.Boys will be divided into four leagues: novice, under age 8; atom, under 10; peewee, under 12 and bantam, under 14.Ages are those as of Jan.1, 1979.Novice and bantam players will practice and play at West- mount Park while atom and peewee participants will gather at the Westmount Athletic Grounds.The girls\u2019 program will operate Monday and Wednesday afternoons at Prince show Albert Park with teams and leagues, as in the boys\u2019 program, being formed provided there is sufficient registration.Contrary to information provided at a recent meeting of the Westmount Municipal Association's advisory council (The Examiner, Feb.15), the cost of the program is borne, like other sports programs, by the City of Westmount which supplies team shirts and other equipment, maintains and marks the three fields and installs and removes the soccer nets.The program is administered by the recreation department.Coaches and referees are all volunteers with Jan Spaniel again this year acting as head coach to be liaison man with the recreation department.Department officials note that these volunteers, who give generously of their time, are absolutely essential in ensuring the success of the program.April: Fashion takes over WHS as model hunt continues By JENNIFER CLARE PEARSON To start spring off on the right foot, the Westmount High School fashion show committee is holding tryouts for students who want to be models.Since last week the halls have been spotted with the best-dressed students WHS has seen since the first day of school.Students in grades 9, 10 and 11 have been anticipating the fashion show, for which only 32 models will be chosen.The show, which will be held sometime in April, is being sponsored by several popular Montreal clothing stores.Last Friday, a professional day at the school, the WHS ski club headed for the hills with their skis, more specifically to the north side Expo run at Mont Tremblant.Senior Greg Bous- kill claims there was excellent spring skiing and organizers Josh Korman and Sarah Flem- ming are planning another ski trip from this Sunday to the following Wednesday at Smugglers\u2019 Notch.In a recent interscholastic tournament, the WHS chess team scored highest out of some 41 school teams from all over Montreal.The team, coached by math teacher Mr.H.Mahabir, achieved two seconds and two thirds and is to be congratulated.At lunch Monday, senior Andrew Waibel celebrated his 17th birthday by receiving a lemon meringue pie in the face and by being mobbed and hung that donations will be accepted by anyone and that no amount is too small because the money is processed by a large group of volunteers.Other Westmounters on the board of directors are Pat Roman, Mary Forsey, Olive Swift, Audrey Amsden, Joan Mackenzie, Ann Tyndale, Helen MacCammon and Margaret Stronach.\u2018We do it because we like it,\u201d says Mrs.Parsons, \u2018because books and children are important.\u201d % JERR + SËL by his feet in the school foyer.Happy birthday! Last Thursday, Ms.B.Kegel, director of the immensely successful Purple and White Revue, threw a party in honor of the cast.Students involved at first were led to believe they had done something wrong and that there would never be another such show again.But, lo and behold, a giant cream cake, some 90 cm by 60 cm and 15 cm thick was presented, along with soft drinks for all.The party was a beautiful and much- appreciated gesture by Ms.Kegel and Ms.Barrett.Because of the solar eclipse, the school day Monday was changed drastically; for the better, some feel.Each of the six periods lasted only 45 minutes instead of the usual torturesome 50 and the whole day was condensed, with only one 15-minute recess after the first three classes.As a result, school was dismissed at an early 1:15.Reason for the temporary schedule was to prevent students from leaving the school during the eclipse and risking damaging their eyes by watching it unprotected.However, it snowed all day and the eclipse was not visible anyway.It has been reported that a petition is circulating at the school asking the school be converted permanently to the schedule adopted Monday. One week left in season: FF sports NY The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, March 1, 1979 19 Novice, atom hockey playoff spots set By PIERRE GOAD Though each team in the two leagues has one regular season game left to play, the playoff spots have been settled in both the novice and atom leagues of the Westmount recreation department's hockey program.The novice Knights and Dragons will meet in their playoff at 9 am Saturday, March 10, and will be followed on the ice an hour later with the atom playoff between the Bulls and Broncs.Despite losing 1-0 to the last place Guards, the Dragons clinched the second and last playoff spot in the novice league last Saturday when the Knights, who locked up first place some weeks ago, defeated the Bears and left them three points behind the Dragons with just the final game of the season left to play.The Knights have dominated the league, winning 13 of 14 games for 26 points while the second-place Dragons have half that, 13 points.The last time the Knights and Dragons met, the first-place team took a 4-0 victory.It thus appears the Dragons have their work cut out for them in the playoffs but they get a trial run at the Knights this Saturday when the two Westmount\u2019s Selwyn House School recently won the Greater Montreal Athletic Association wrestling championship following competitions held at Outremont High School.Involving some 80 wrestlers and 100 different matches, the meet was a climax to the high school wrestling season.The victory by Selwyn House culminated a dramatic rise from third position after league competition to second after the first day of individual competition, ending with the overall title.The team of 20 boys, of whom 10 were Westmounters, won at Selwyn House wrestling champs SR least one medal in 14 of the 15 weight classes.Medal winners from Westmount included: Gerard Reusing, 558 Roslyn avenue, silver, 79 lbs.; Tim Andry, 560 Lansdowne avenue, bronze, 79 lbs.; Denis Stevens, 11 Edgehill road, bronze, 87 lbs.; Stephen Hasko, 388 Roslyn avenue, gold, 92 1bs.; Jon Carter, 523 Prince Albert avenue, bronze, 92 1bs.; David Skinner, 85 Sunnyside avenue, bronze, 103 lbs.; Jon Zyto, 119 Aberdeen

met, the Bulls managed a 3-2 win in a close game which, at this point, accounts for all the difference between them in the standings.As in the novice league, a freak of scheduling also has the two playoff contenders facing each other in the final game of the regular season, giving the Broncs a chance to draw even in the standings and gain momentum for the playoffs.The close action augurs well for spectators who wish to witness exciting local hockey in the next few weeks.Lac St.Louis offers trophy for fencing Regional fencing finals in the Lac St.Louis region will be held March 18 at Polyvalente Pierrefonds, The Examiner learned this week.The occasion will be used to launch a special \u2018Coupe Lac St.Louis\u2019 for fencers at the Benjamin and Cadet levels, and it is hoped that the cup competition can be expanded to other age groups in future years.Though the Lac St.Louis sports region takes in West- mount and island municipalities west of Montreal, the cup competition is
