[" Longtime merchants \u2014 on Sherbrooke out after rents soar By THOR VALDMANIS Some longtime Sherbrooke street storefronts in Westmount, east of Prince Albert avenue, appear set for radical changes beginning May 1.Three venerable institutions \u2014 Warren's Men's Wear, Westmount Stationery and Flower and Green Decorations \u2014 are packing up shop after failing to negotiate leases with their new.landlord, Cervino Coin Company.P~ last November, Cervino areported $1.95 million to Sybil Rosen for five buildings between 4868 and 4898 Sherbrooke and one at 393 Prince Albert.Cervino also guaranteed the Rosen family\u2019s Popular Shop, 4872 Sherbrooke, a lease for an unspecified number of years.Faced with rent increases of some 300 percent and additional \u201copen- ended\u201d clauses, merchants affected by the sale found lease renewal more arduous than did the Rosens.\u201cI don\u2019t hold it against Cervino, they're trying to make a buck like everyone else,\u201d Ron Hunter, owner of the displaced Westmount Stationery and its adjunct gift shop, said Tuesday.\u201cI just think they're trying to make too much of a buck.\u201d Privately, some uprooted merchants clairi Cervino made offers they knew would be refused, in .Drugstore bandit grabs \"$400 deposit A young man armed with a gun snatched $400 out of the hand of a cashier in the Phar- maprix store at Alexis Nihon Plaza Saturday afternoon and fled out the Atwater exit, police said.The robbery occurred at 2:05 pm as the woman had prepared bills in denominations of $10 and $20 for deposit.As the victim made a move to call for help over the microphone, the man threatened her with a gun, warning her against calling.The robber was described as a white man aged about 18, French speaking and wearing jeans, a black leather jacket and sweat shirt.| INSIDE.| ® Braemar owner upset by 8 Another pesticide symposium = @ Selwyn House hockey team \u2018injurious\u2019 access route .planned here March 13.8 Taxe$ Action plans another protest rallySunday .10 victorious in Alberta .hopes the aging row of historic grey- stone, two-storey buildings would be vacated, facilitating overdue repairs and renovations.Cervino manager Desmond Soltendieck admitted yesterday that \u201cthe buildings cannot go on as they are,\u201d but denied his company forced anyone out.\u201cWe offered them all the same options,\u201d Mr Soltendieck said in an earlier interview, \u201cand we left it up to them.\u201d He refused to specify what the options were.\u201cStore for rent\u201d signs are now posted outside the soon-to-be vacated premises.New zoning coming The November sale came just a few months before the unveiling Feb 15 of Westmount's major rezoning plan to preserve the \u201cvillage character\u201d of the Victoria-Sherbrooke commercial area (see story Feb 18).The proposed zoning amendments, the focus of a public consultation meeting April 5, reflect city council\u2019s desire to protect the status quo in the area.Westmount has issued a freeze on building permits in affected areas, including the recently sold stretch on Sherbrooke \u2014 buildings which are expected to be listed in Westmount's soon-to-be released heritage property preservation study.\u201cWhen we looked at the (Sherbrooke) property originally,\u201d Mr Soltendieck said, \u201cit was zoned for (a possible) six storeys, then four storeys and now two.Obviously, that affects our plans.\u201d The manager refused to say what Continued on page eight Doesn\u2019t stop and won't co-operate A 45-year-old driver who refused to produce car papers after going through a stop sign on Westmount avenue Monday last week at 9:40 am, changed her tune after being arrested and taken to local MUC station 23, police report.The woman finally decided to produce the papers rather than be charged with interfering with police work.She was ticketed instead for failing to obey a stop sign as well as for refusing to produce car registration and insurance papers as requested.Both were apparently in order.THE BEST VALUE IN TOWN: ls» Your home away from home.Coon 2 4658;

FIREFIGHTERS: Westmount's 22nd annual junior firefighters\u2019 course kicked off its first of 10 classes Wednesday night last week at the fire hall.Among the 50 boys and girls from six local schools and groups who signed up to learn about fire prevention from instructor Lieutenant Barry Coates are, from left: Wade Colborne, Westmount Park School, Karen Sadegursky, St George's; Alex Lal, Selwyn

departments.No way out for tiny tots Firemen were called to two local homes last week to free children trapped in locked rooms, fire officials said.The first rescue effort was reported last Thursday when a baby was locked in a bedroom at 390 Gros- venor avenue.Firemen forced open the door and found the infant in bed under covers, appearing frightened.Two days later, another child was unable to get out of a bedroom at 601 Roslyn avenue where the doorknob had fallen off.A screwdriver was used to open the latch and rescue the child, who was found \u201cin good condition.\u201d Public safety

taxation onto their shoulders?4.How equitable is a taxation system which can result in tax increases in a single year of up to 400 percent?5.Can the present appeal procedure which involves annual appearances before the Bureau des Révisions d'évaluation foncière be improved to spare property owners much aggravation and expense pleading revisions that had been - agreed to for prior years?The minister has rightly affirmed that \u2018\u2019greater stability is required for property values and tax bills.\u201d We are in full support of this position.The city has made a number of representations (most recently to the Parizeau Commission) for proposed changes to mitigate what is becoming increasingly obvious to thinking citizens, namely that the continuing shift of the burden of municipal taxation to residential property owners has reached the breaking point.If present trends continue, it will soon become impossible for large numbers of property owners to continue to live in their own homes.The minister has announced that he has ordered \u201can inquiry into the operation of the MUC assessment service\u201d Let us hope that this will result in some improvements to the process.However, this review is unlikely to help in dealing with the immediate problems.The fact is that the 1988 roll was introduced in haste and without sufficient computer field testing.Its implementation for the MUC municipalities should have been deferred at least another year.A number of municipalities, including Westmount, suggested a reversion to the 1987 roll which, while perhaps not perfect, had a much higher level of acceptability than the 1988 roll.This seemed like a reasonable and simple solution to the nightmare spawned by a roll riddled with errors.We remain hopeful that the minister might yet accept this alternative for 1988.The costs of running the MUC are apportioned to the 29 municipalities exclusively on the basis of valuation of real property.Under the law, no allowance is made for a reduction in the original valuation roll for the \u201ccorrections d\u2019office\u2019\u2019 agreed to by the MUC valuation department which now exceed some $47 million and which may well exceed $150 million before the remaining 537 cases currently under review have been finalized.This will result in West- mount\u2019s bearing \u201cexcess\u201d MUC costs of somewhere between $330,000 and $1 million.The minister appropriately acknowledges that Westmount has taken four initiatives to assist taxpayers in their present dilemma.City council has also permitted its ratepayers to defer payment for several months of the increased taxes in the hope that by that time the majority of the errors will have been corrected.Westmount City Council WESTMOUNT PQ Time has come for nuclear gesture Sir: In a letter to the editor in the fall of 1987, voters were asked to comment on two issues likely to come before the council in 1988.They were water fluoridation and a possible resolution making Westmount a nuclear weapons free zone.I would like to address the latter issue.Making Westmount a nuclear weapons free zone is an idea whose time has come.It is true that a municipality has absolutely no power or jurisdiction in foreign or military affairs.We are talking Buying a home is a big investment and involves major decisions.So, it\u2019s understandable why so much time and care is taken when looking for a home that\u2019s right for you.No one knows this better than your local real estate agent.Once the agent takes on the assignment of finding you a home, he\u2019ll probably show you several.Therefore, it\u2019s important to take notes on what you have seen or you may forget: which home is where, how big it is, what shape it\u2019s in, and how much it costs.Your agent can provide you with a checklist to make this important task easier.This way, you can rate each home as you see it and instantly recall the location, price, construction, number of rooms, heat, fuel, taxes, and financial requirements.If you have a Polaroid picture of the house to go with the eal Estate Re REMIX westmount inc.broker LOOKING?KEEP A RECORD about a gesture, an expression of sentiment which badly needs to be made.This is not a proposal in favor of unilateral disarmament.We are talking about policies that cause warfare spending to reach $900 billion U.S.worldwide each year The corres ponding sum spent on economic development assistance is minuscule.No question about it, much of the military expenditures make the world less safe because they divert scarce resources from other purposes including the struggle against hunger and poverty.Two examples come to mind.With the amount of money the United States wastes (e.g.cost overruns) on each major weapons system, it could put a country in Central America or the Caribbean on the economie map.Instead, the economic and social problems are allowed to fester.Millions have been spent on guerrilla \u201cfreedom\u201d fighters in Nicaragua.Equivalent sums used to put the Haj- tian economy on its feet would surely have yielded better long-term strategic results.In Canada, the government.poses to spend $10 billion on nuclear submarines.This is a totally outrageous plan in a country threatened by continuous deindustrialization with an urgent need to increase civilian research and development spending.Our principal insecurity for the foreseeable future is economic.This does not imply that the Canadian navy should be abolished or that we should not establish Arctic earth stations to fortify our presence in the North.But the submarine proposal mirrors much of the U.S.military expenditure: a thinly disguised method of pouring large sums of taxpayers\u2019 money into the pockets of special interests.Canada obviously cannot afford $10 billion for nuclear submarines given its precarious economic condition.But words like \u201cdefence,\u201d \u201csovereignty,\u201d etc produce a curious psychological/physiological reaction making rational thought difficult.I urge the Westmount city council to pass a resolution making the city a nuclear weapons free zone.It would not be a zany, kooky act, but to the contrary, a small voice raised on behalf of sanity.John H.Lehnert 117 Lewis avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 2K7 To place a classified ad in THE

Braemar owner Gerald Benjamin was steaming, claiming it ran over his rock garden and trees to get to the work site.\u201cMr Syrovatka, in his wisdom, says that his plans call for a road (leading from the existing road to his lot) at an immediate 90-degree angle in front of the Braemar front entrance,\u201d Mr Benjamin's lawyer Gordon Zellman said Tuesday.\u201cIt creates an absolute mess.\u201d When former Braemar owner Tomka Gazdik began selling off his property several years ago, he created a servitude providing access to Mr Syrovatka's lot.\u201cThe servitude never specified where the right of access would be exercised,\u201d Mr Zellman said.That is where the problem lies.In such cases, Mr Zellman claims, Suicidal man calls for help A 36-year-old Westmount man was reported to have been taken to hospital early Feb 21 after calling Suicide Action which in turn summoned police and Urgences Santé personnel.The man, who claimed to have both diabetes and AIDS, said he had taken pills

mansion.The change, he said, would likely require Mr Syrovatka to build a garage on the west side, rather than the east side of his home as originally planned.Repeated attempts to speak to Mr Syrovatka Tuesday were unsuccessful.Last Wednesday morning, police were called to the construction site after hydraulic hoses on the power shovel were apparently cut overnight, resulting in a reported

task force Tuesday.\u201cWe believe progress is best achieved through education and cooperation.\u201d As founder and president of the Pesticides Task Force, Mrs Golden- berg assembled a number of leading experts from the medical and scientific fields to promote care and understanding in the use of pesticides.The Mount Stephen avenue resident has seen her movement grow dramatically since its inception in June, 1985.In April, 1986, some 150 concerned citizens and experts from health and government fields, including Mr Lincoln, packed Victoria Hall for the first-ever pesticides symposium of its kind.Mr Lincoln used the occasion to promise his government would soon introduce legislation governing the use of pesticides \u2014 a promise he kept in passing Bill 27 last June.Prior to that,

publish its first issue on Tuesday, March 15.The announcement was made Monday morning by publisher George Maclaren at a press conference and open house at the newspaper\u2019s offices, located at 980 St Antoine street west, ironically in the building immediately to the east of the building occupied for years by The Gazette.In speaking to THE EXAMINER last week, Mr Maclaren would say only that the new morning tabloid would appear \u201cbefore the end of winter,\u201d the last day of which is March 20.Mr Maclaren last week also was reluctant to say what the minimum size of the new paper would be but on Monday he announced it would be at least 48 pages.The paper will print 80,000 copies of its inaugural issue March 15, transmitting electronically made up pages from its downtown offices to the plant of Imprimerie Dumont in LaSalle, where the paper will be printed.The large press run for the paper's early issues is to accommodate the curious; Mr Maclaren says he is aiming for circulation to level off at 35,000 to 40,000.The paper will sell on the newsstand for 50 cents.While home delivery will be available, Mr Maclaren said last week, it is \u201cnot being pushed\" at present.Among the senior editorial staff listed Monday are: James C.Duff, managing editor; Don Foley, executive editor; John Elder, news editor; Ian Mayer, features editor; Kevin Boland, sports editor; Bernard St-

932-4191 10 - The Westmount Examiner, Thirsday, March 3, \u20181988 Council issues reply to Bourbeau criticism City council has issued a reply to recent criticisms levied against West- mount by Quebec Municipal Affairs Minister André Bourbeau for its handling of the property valuation crisis.It appears in full in this issue of THE EXAMINER, beginning on page five (see \u2018You Say\u201d).Mayor May Cutler said Tuesday that the answer is intended to set the facts straight rather than \u201ccontinue the conflict.\u201cWe feel we handled this brilliantly,\" Mayor Cutler told THE EXAMINER.She maintained the position that the city had caught valuation errors \u201cat the beginning,\u201d resulting in an MUC review of \u201cwild and crazy\u201d assessments.Mr Bourbeau, in a letter to THE EXAMINER and other news media two weeks ago, accused Westmount of worsening the tax problem by refusing to apply Bill 82, by increasing its 1988 budget 17 percent, and by taxing to finance its heritage program payments.The letter was called \u201cinflammatory\u201d by City Councillor Phillip Aspinall, Westmount\u2019s finance commissioner, The city\u2019s reply to Mr Bourbeau, Mayor Cutler said, shows that the city came up with the \u201cbest possible solution to an impossible situation,\u201d she said.\u201cPeople who thought we.should have used Bill 82 to put a ceiling on valuations will end up\u2019 paying less tax than if we had applied it,\u201d she said.LIBERALS.Continued from page one there was outside the MUC for the concept of basing property values on market value.\u201cPeople were talking about how assessments had doubled in areas such as Rawdon and Manitou,\u201d he said.Talked to minister Mr Gales said he had discussed the matter with Mr Bourbeau and had the feeling that Mr Bourbeau was going to try to get the present system working before making any changes, adding \u201che may have a point.\u201d In the meantime, he said, \u2018There are some tremendous hardships so I intend to speak again to him.\u201d Mr Gales said he felt the provincial government wasn't \u201centirely at fault\u201d and said Bill 82 was extremely interesting and complex.He also said he wanted to discuss Westmount's refusal to use Bill 82 with city council \u201cto ensure they understand it.\u201d \u201cThe next thing I think the city council has to do is take a look at their budget.That's my feeling.Why is it up more than inflation?\u201d Reiterating her stand last week following a private meeting with Mr Bourbeau, Mayor Cutler said she remained confident the minister was trying to deal with the valuation problem.\u201cWe do feel some of the factual material (in his letter) needs to be explained,\u201d she said.She said she planned to meet with MUC mayors from other largely residential suburbs as soon as she could organize a meeting to discuss their common tax problems further.\u201cI went to the Côte St Luc tax meeting and found it extremely lively and crowded,\u201d she said.\u201cEveryone was very worked up.\u201d Many municipalities are only now sending out their tax bills, she pointed out, noting that increased protests could be expected as citizens received the bad news.East-west Summit bump Two cars collided on Summit circle at Summit crescent Feb 21 at 2:46 pm, police said.More than $500 damage resulted to both vehicles but no injuries were reported.The impact occurred as a red 1987 Nissan, driven by a man living on Cote des Neiges, was starting up from a stop sign eastbound and crossed in front of a red 1987 Toyota, driven west by a resident of Belmont avenue.Taxe$ Action plans Sunday protest rally By LAUREEN SWEENEY A proposal which calls for establishing minimum tax increases for all, rather than a maximum valuation ceiling for some, is to be outlined by Taxe$ Action at its protest rally Sunday afternoon.The concept of minimum tax increases for all is seen as a way to ease the financial burden on homeowners by shifting some of it back to larger apartment and commercial buildings which are generally experiencing tax reductions, says Kathy Touchet, Taxe$ Action president.The tax rally, she says, is expected to draw a number of Westmounters including finanical consultant André Laurendeau, who has prepared a special report on valuation problems (see separate story).The rally takes place at Plateau Hall, 3710 Calixa Lavallée avenue in Lafontaine Park, at 1:30 pm.When so many taxpayers are so hard hit this year, Mrs Touchet says, \u201cit is not fair for anyone to have a tax reduction.\u201d She said Taxe$ Action will not only offer this proposal as a solution to André Bourbeau, Quebec minister of municipal affairs, but also is preparing to take a class action through

Hotel have reductions when the little people have the tax burden on their shoulders?\u201d she asked.In Westmount's case, Mrs Touchet said, where the budget rose some nine percent (excluding the heritage payment levy) \u201cif every tax bill increased eight or nine percent, jt would be fair\u201d If such a minimum were set h enough, the concept could have the same effect as freezing the valuation roll at the 1987 level, as requested by Montreal suburban mayors.Sunday\u201ds rally, according to Mrs Touchet, follows the recent issuance of tax bills by many municipalities, especially Montreal.\u201cWe want loads of people from Westmount,\u201d she said, adding that she had just spoken to Mayor May Cutler who reiterated her belief that Minister Bourbeau would initiate tax changes for next year.\u201cWe have to do something for 1988,\u201d Mrs Touchet said.\u201cIt is not acceptable.\u201d More homes get valuations rolled back Twenty-four more Westmount properties have had their assessments rolled back by the MUC valuations department in the latest of its \u201cself-confessed errors,\u201d city officials report.The recent additions bring to 193 the number of local valuations rolled back representing $49,083,900 in reduced assessments and $834,426 in municipal taxes.This works out to an average valuation roll back of $254,300 per property.Another 29 Westmount

boulevard, the condominium building at the northeast corner of Victoria avenue.The other is 389 Roslyn avenue.The 23 rollbacks in the one building, he explained, bear little @ tionship to each other.\u201cI can\u2019t understand it.There\u2019s no logic, no pattern.There are not even two that are similar\u201d One unit in the building, he said, had its valuation reduced from $146,000 to $115,000.Another went from $192,000 to $103,000.The city has requested the MUC evaluation department to review 728 properties whose assessments appear to be mistakes, most bearing over 100 percent increases from last year.Cruiser bruiser A truck backed out of a diagonal city hall parking space Feb 19 into a passing police cruiser, police report.The truck driver was issued a ticket.The accident,

increased tax burden is because MUC assessors use different methods to evaluate different classes of properties for only one tax rate, says a Westmount financial consultant.André Laurendeau, who has prepared a report for lobby group Taxe$ Action to show where the system failed, told THE EXAMINER that, to be fair, all properties should be assessed on the same basis.\u201cOne valuation method should be used for one tax rate,\u201d he said, advocating a replacement-cost method as being both easy to apply and check out.e current MUC system assesses s e-family dwellings according to real estate market increases, apartments and commercial buildings by revenue increases and government buildings by a \u201cfirst generation\u201d roll method.These methods, he says, have caused \u2018a massive transfer\u201d of the tax load from both commercial and government buildings onto single- family dwellings.\u201d To prove his point, Mr Laurendeau studied 35 \u201cprestigious\u201d buildings

Ms Nacasch speaks Hebrew, French, English and Arabic.They areboth studying mathematics and Mr Genatt studies physics while Ms Nacasch is in chemistry.As well as touring local schools, they must keep up with their own studies which represent some 30 to 40 hours a week.While they are in Montreal, Ms Nacasch and Mr Genatt are being.billetted for a few days with different families.Both will spend some time in Westmount homes.Mr Genatt says he has stayed with \u201cvery nice families.\u201d \u201cMe too!\u201d says Ms Nacasch.It\u2019s not all work for the pair.They spent one weekend skiing at Smugglers\u2019 Notch in Vermont.\u201cIt was our first time skiing,\u201d said Mr Genatt.\u201cIt was wild!\u201d \u201cYes, it was great!\u201d said Ms Nacas- They also tried ice-skating for the first time.\u201cSkating was fun,\u201d said Ms Nacas- ch, \u201cbut a lot of hurting.\u201d The two will visit Quebec over the weekend of March 17 and they will leave on March 21 for Ottawa where they will spend one week.Not bookish A man was escorted out of the Westmount Public Library Monday for disturbing the peace, public safety officers report.The man, described as well known to librarians and officers, departed at 12:35 pm voicing \u201cthe usual threats,\u201d they said.sx || Some of the material exhibited in the Peace display, before it was modified.Not a peaceful start for \u2018Art for Peace\u201d By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN A new \u201cpeace\u201d exhibit was installed in the Westmount Public Library on Monday but it had to be modified to remain in place as it did not conform to library policy for such exhibitions.Catherine Bates, a Westmount artist, originally wanted the exhibit to reflect the work she had done in preparing a logo for the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War congress to be held in Montreal in June.After submitting a proposal, more than a year ago, and working on the show, Mrs Bates felt that more material from the IPPNW would make a more interesting display.She contacted the library and, again, received the go-ahead.Mrs Bates describes the display as \u201ca marvelous exhibit, a combination of posters from previous congresses, photographs, literature and information about the congresses.\u201d Unfortunately, Rosemary Lydon, the chief librarian, did not feel quite the same way.The library has a policy \u201cto provide local artists with an opportunity to exhibit their work,\u201d according to the application form artists must fill out before such a show.Ms Lydon says, \u201cIt\u2019s not an art show, this is the problem.We did not understand that it would be this type of exhibit.If you give space to one group, you have to give it to others.\u201d Mrs Bates says, \u201cThey feel it's a political statement.Of course it\u2019s not.Nobody's for war.\u201d The exhibition consists of a collection of posters promoting peace in several languages; a beautifully crafted peace banner made by the students at Winston Churchill High School; poems and art work from children at Lachine High School, Gardenview School and WCHS; posters and literature from past IPPNW congresses;
