[" Fewer PCB units here ve «6.ea ee now than in 1985 By LAUREEN SWEENEY YES, there are PCBs in Westmount.They can be found, according to a city inventory, at Place Alexis Nihon, Westmount Square, the Royal Bank Data Centre, Shaar Hashomayim, Steinberg\u2019s Victoria store; the Westmount Medical Building and the office building housing the Pascal store.They also can be found in the Métro system, in apartment buildings at 250 Clarke and Château Maisonneuve as well as in \u2018storage at the city\u2019s Corporation Yard.\u201cFree trade pact backed by Johnston Donald Johnston says that after looking closely at the free trade agreement with the United States, he decided he should support it in yesterday's House of Commons vote.\u201cI asked myself, \u2018Is it worse than the status quo or better than the status quo?And I concluded it should be ratified,\u201d the St Henri- Westmount MP told THE EXAMINER yesterday.\u201cAnd then the government must do all it can to improve upon the deal.\u201cThe key is that, unlike the Meech Lake Accord, this is a terminable agreement,\u2019 he added.The pact can be terminated on six months notice.Mr Johnston says it is a shame that \u201cpolitics have taken over once again\u201d in the debate on free trade, rather than an interest in what\u2019s good for Canada.Mr Johnston gave what he expects was his last speech in the House Monday evening.He believes there is a good chance an election will be called when Parliament reconvenes Sept 17 after the current recess.For more, see Our MP says on page five.Happy birthday to May in September Westmount's mayor, May Cutler, will be celebrating a special birthday this weekend.On Sunday, Sept 4, the mayor turns 65.Many happy returns, Mayor May.They are either in use in electrical transformers and capacitors or stored awaiting disposal.They are inspected regularly and known to firefighters in the event of emergency, city officials confirm.Some of the 38 units are privately owned.Others (17) belong to the city\u2019s light and power department.They are all that remain following a \u201cget-tough\u201d policy adopted by the city three years ago when fire officials launched a public awareness campaign.At that time, Westmount led MUC municipalities in making public the location of 59 PCB units in the city.Since then the number has dwindled and three more are expected to be removed shortly by Steinberg\u2019s at Place Alexis Nihon.City officials admit they are not happy to have PCBs around.Monitoring continues However, until storage or disposal facilities are set up in Quebec, or PCB equipment is phased out of service, inspectors will continue to monitor closely the relatively few that remain (see separate stories).In some situations, they say, it is Continued on page six Making all of Westmount your home Vol.LX, No.36 Westmount PQ, H3Z 2Y8, Thursday, September 1, 1988 Competition for David Berger: Richard Lord in Liberal rac Valaskakis ponders enteri Kimon Valaskakis 32 houses sold in June transfers: Richard Lord Average house price tops half-million mark With five houses selling for over $1 million each, the average price of a Westmount home reached new heights in June, rising above the $500,000 mark.In that month, 32 houses changed hands for a total selling price of $16.3 million, an EXAMINER analysis of real estate transfers recorded at city hall indicates.June is traditionally the most = Lussiers put Summit lot on the B Local authors to read at Arts Westmount 4 ® New principal Bertha Dawang gets the feel of Roslyn #4 @ Lansdowne Centre helps students find learning strategies Nationale & races !

Catherine street (northeast corner), A workman makes the first road cut Monday morning at the corner of Stanton streeet as the reconstruction of Cote St Antoine road begins.Rebuilding begins on Cote St Antoine By CHARLES MAPPIN With the start of work this week on the reconstruction of Côte St Antoine road, the city has erected a barricade where the street intersects Clarke and Sherbrooke to divert traffic from the construction zone.The entrance will remain closed for the duration of the road work \u2014 which is scheduled for completion by Nov 4 \u2014 to give the city a chance to observe the resulting traffic flow.\u201cWe'll take advantage of the situation to do a traffic count and to see what impact it will have on Clarke and Sherbrooke,\u201d says city councillor Paul Fortin, chairman of council\u2019s traffic committee.\u201cWhen the reconstruction work is completed, we\u2019ll reassess the situation regarding the intersection.\u201d Council has proposed closing the intersection permanently, but another public consultation meeting would be held before such a decision is taken, Mr Fortin says.$1.2 million project The entire project should take two months to complete and will cost the city some $1.2 million in all.Work has begun at Argyle avenue and will progress westward.Along with new sidewalks, roadbed and roadway, Cote St Antoine will get new street lights.The lamp standards are the same ones being used to improve street lighting in other areas of the city.They will be placed in alternation on either side of the street.The roadway will be narrowed and the sidewalks widened.As a result, some residents\u2019 lawns will be extended by a few feet.By narrowing the street and replacing the street lighting, the city hopes to improve the character of the street and change it from the thor- parking holiday.result.EEE Se LS 4 aad No break on Labor Day for alternate-side parkers WESTMOUNT residents who park their cars on streets designated for alternate-side changeovers are reminded that Labor Day is not a This means cars must be moved at 8 am and 6 pm if required by signage, as on any ordinary weekday.The reminder comes from Public Security Director Richard McEnroe, who says he does not want to see anyone ticketed.\u201cPeople should abide by the signs on the street.Failure to do so in the past has added to confusion and resulted in people getting tickets.\u201d Anyone leaving town for the three-day weekend is expected to make provision for the regulation.Last spring\u2019s survey of alternate-side parking remains under study and it is not yet known if any changes in the present system will .$250.damage.oughfare it has become to a residential road.The width of the street will be 26 feet in most places, wide enough for two lanes of traffic to pass parked cars.It is currently as wide as 40 feet in some sections.The sidewalks will vary from six to 11 feet wide.In front of King George Park, the city is creating \u201cboulevard sidewalks,\u201d which have strips of grass separating the roadway and the concrete sidewalk.Sidewalks first Although the contractor has not provided the city with a detailed schedule, the first stage involves the rebuilding of the sidewalks, and the laying of conduit and the installation of bases for the new street light standards.The next stage is the excavation of the roadway, the preparation of the roadway bed and the pouring of the eight-inch concrete base.At least seven days must be left for the concrete to harden before a three-inch layer of asphalt is poured.Since the sidewalks will be wider throughout Côte St Antoine, the city will plant trees along its length.Another change will be the building of a sidewalk on the south side of the street where it borders city hall.There is none at present.Special accommodations are to be made at the intersection of Stanton street where the police and fire vehicles must pass on a regular basis, public works director Fred Caluori says.The intersection will be done one half at a time and on some days the emergency cars and trucks will have to leave the station by travelling the wrong way on Côte St Antoine to Argyle.The city is also getting the schedule of events of the three institutions on the street \u2014 Selwyn House School, the Shaar Hashomayim synagogue and St Matthias\u2019 Church \u2014 to work around their special events.Street smarts fail driveway driver A 40-year-old Montreal man was charged with impaired driving and refusal to take a breathalyser test after an incident Monday evening

: : - ; NS EE Perhaps poisoning of Earth will get our attention Sir: Until the recent fire in St Basile, warnings about the remaining PCBs in transformers, the necessity for their safe storage and disposal, and the suspected or proved dumping of countless chemicals have aroused less public interest than the creations of fashion designers, gossip about the rich and famous, and discussion of controversial films.The risks to pets and wildlife and our own endangered species from industrial and agricultural poisons have been widely reported for decades without provoking stronger reactions than sneers about ani- mal-lovers, ecologists and the gloomy themes of educational television.Even horrifying reports of illnesses and deaths from leaking and forgotten dumps in the U.S.and from toxic spills abroad have aroused less excitement than articles about fad diets, lottery winners or the signs on grocery stores and restaurants that seldom poison anyone.Will it take clean-up costs that climb into the stratosphere, soaring statistics of birth defects and deaths, or some shocking national catastrophe before electors show as much concern for the human habitat as for lowering taxes or keeping out unfortunate refugees?While these toxins, as well as wastes from nuclear reactors and defence programs everywhere, continue multiplying and looking for supposedly final resting places near our homes or in the vulnerable Third World, the wealth of nations has been wasted preparing for a hideous war no country can win, one that will foul the whole planet, if we have not already slyly completed the process ahead of time.While we ignore the right to life of whole \u201c species and nations, the unborn future of the planet has been emitting a silent scream and we should not be astonished if, before too long, Mother Nature, suffering from induced toxemia, should happen to abort the whole human experiment.Cherra S.Ransom 22 Windsor avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Y 2L6 Local tax crisis IT is not at all surprising that the numberless, faceless civil servants in the ministry of municipal affairs at Quebec have managed again, through two ministers in the last 12 months, to let a whole year go by without coming up with any kind of solution to the tax-valuation mess \u2014 essentially of their own making \u2014 in the municipalities of the Montreal Urban Community.Last winter when individual residential property owners were in full cry, having received their grossly inflated 1988 local tax bills, Hon André Bourbeau, then holding the municipal affairs portfolio, undertook to prevent a repeat of that unjust fiasco for the 1989 tax year.Mr Bourbeau greatly impressed our Mayor May Cutler with his grasp of the situation and evident need for decisive reform.Furthermore, he well knew that any changes in the system to protect innocent citizens would have to be made this summer to have any effect on the new valuation rolls to be deposited this autumn.Most important of all, his departmental officials must have realized this urgency, too.Yet here we are in September and nothing appears to have happened.There has been no consultation with the local administrations \u2014 which must bear the flak from irate homeowners.And the MUC, responsible for valuations, has little alternative before the law but to proceed with the old, discredited, made-in-Quebec City regulations.It must also be assumed that the \u201cexperts\u201d of the MUC, those who supposedly should know more about island valuation problems than anyone, including the Quebec mandarins, have made no representations or suggestions.Meanwhile, a cabinet switch: Mr Bourbeau is out, Mr Pierre Paradis is in as minister.It is a ready-made cover for a do-nothing ministry.And our mayor, with all her colleagues who cannot avoid an active concern, must start over educating a new minister.* * * ALL of which adds up to another confusing, distressing and thoroughly messy situation in Westmount and elsewhere this fall and winter.And to disastrous additional increases in already bloated tax bills for property owners.We are not too concerned over the persons who have bought Westmount property recently, despite obscenely inflated prices.They have done so with their eyes open.If they can afford to buy in today\u2019s market they cannot complain if their assessments, and hence the levies they must pay, also are beyond reason.We are worried stiff about the effect of all this unreality on the established, long- term owners of the hundreds of single- family homes, specially the relatively modest ones, in Westmount.So long as the valuators are bound by an unconscionable law to take into account recent actual sale prices and reflect them across the board where no sales have occurred, for many years typically, there will be gross injustice to innocent and helpless citizens.That is what the uncaring bureaucracy and its shifting ministers, to say nothing of incompetency in the MUC, have wrought.+ * * THERE is another serious effect, specially upon Westmount as a community.No longer can an otherwise comfortably salaried man or woman buy a home here.According to the monthly local property transfer figures tabulated by THE EXAMINER, the average price paid for West- mount homes in the first half of this year was $510,000.Even if you say it fast, it still is over half a million dollars! The lowest price in June was $235,000 and five transfers recorded in that month were over $1 million each.Lest anyone think that the homes themselves account for the inflation, consider this: There is a piece of land on the upper level of Westmount now on the market for $715,000, or $125 per square foot.It is shown on the current valuation roll at $90,000.It is conventional to blame \u201cspeculators.\u201d But it takes two to tango.If sellers are greedy, then buyers must be stupid.Stupid not only with their own (or, more likely, someone else\u2019s borrowed) money but gambling that they in turn eventually may make a speculative profit by reselling.The real estate market is not immune to the sort of \u201ccorrection\u201d to which stock markets are prone when they go wild.In this case, despite the slow motion of government, the reaction to what is happening is bound eventually to prick the bubble.We hope it may include some kind of sheltering of the established residents and hit the newer owners.Only in something like that will there be justice.* * * IN our concern for the solid, long-term homeowner we have a broader worry: the future of Westmount.There must be a finite market for houses selling for a quarter, or a half, or a full million dollars or more.What then?What kind of community will this be when its basic, solid middle class has been driven out by high taxes and the ever- present temptation to sell out at great profit?A BILL of the Westmount electricity department which we saw the other day, though sent to a Westmount address, gave it as \u201cMontreal\u201d Though acceptable to the post office, local pride causes most citizens of this municipal entity to use instead \u201cWestmount,\u201d the official name not only of our city but of the post office in our community from which the letter carriers deliver our mail.Also noticed after the aforementioned \u201cMontreal\u201d was \u201cQue,\u201d the designation for this province long since abandoned by agreement between the postal administrations of Canada and the U.S.in favor of universal two-letter province/state indicators.(Mass is MA, Ont ON, Calif CA, Man MB, etc.) Thus, we are in PQ, according to the post office, and we are not QC, which seems to have been adopted arbitrarily by some mailers, notably many branches of the provincial government.Sometime when the city\u2019s extensive computer gear is idling, perhaps someone could write a little program to correct such records.To add to loose use by the local power people, the pre-addressed envelopes sent out for citizens to use in mailing their payments are printed \u201cWestmount, Qué.\u201d (with an acute accent), an unnecessary bow to Bill 101.* * * THERE are many in our community, not least because of profound personal witness to the reality of the Holocaust, who will appreciate this footnote to the unconscionable teaching of one James Keegstra, the Albertan who taught his high school students that the Holocaust didn\u2019t happen or, at worst, was grossly exaggerated.There probably are many Canadians who drew perverse gratification from the recent news that the man\u2019s house had burned.We drew even more satisfaction from the short, cleverly subtle letter to the editor of The Globe and Mail the other day which simply stated that in the writer\u2019s view the fire didn\u2019t happen! .* * * VIA Rail, that potentially excellent enterprise of which we and others have had cause to be critical, exposes another cause for taxpayer irritation.Our most recent Visa bill included a Via item for $192 entered July 31.We could recall no recent adventure by train until someone reminded us that those who grant credit by Visa cards have six months to claim from the issuing bank.With this prompt we jogged our memory and our desk calendar and found that, indeed, we had made a return trip to Toronto \u2014 back on March 3! We are grateful for the extended use of our money for six months, about five months more than we might have expected, but as a Canadian taxpayer picking up the tab for Via Rail\u2019s ongoing deficits we take a dim view of apparent sloppiness in the Crown-owned passenger train operator\u2019s treasury department.* * * AROUND THE EXAMINER more often than not we are braced to receive brickbats for identifying persons who encounter various forms of misfortune or mishap.The complainers can be both victims and self- appointed censors of the media who have not got straight in their own minds the conflicting claims of privacy and genuine community and neighborly concern, stock in trade of truly local weeklies.Thus, we are specially cautious in using names where embarrassment to individuals is possible.Therefore, imagine our delighted surprise to receive a phone call following last week's publication on the front page of a picture of a resident being carried in her wheelchair from a fire-threatened apartment building on Grosvenor avenue.It was from a longtime Westmount resident, Irmgard Graefin von Schwerin, who for some years was a fashionable portrait photographer with her studio on Greene avenue.When the countess opened for business we interviewed her and her husband, Graf O.M.von Schwerin, at that Grosvenor apartment, where they still live.She asked why THE EXAMINER carries the names of so many people yet the cutlines on that picture began merely \u201cA woman in a wheelchair.\u201d In no uncertain terms she thought she should have been identified.We are glad herewith to comply, with best wishes to them both.She also sent aletterofthanks to Fire Chief William Timmons, to whom she said: \u201cI was not at all scared,\u201d thanks to her strong trust in his men.She added: \u201cIn my younger years during World War II I survived quite a lot of blazes and critical situations without fear.But out of a wheelchair it.looks rather different.\u201d \u2018 oo Loar by ® à - Pr = Forty-five Years Ago September 2, 1943 \u201cWestmount Intermediate students will find the 30-year-old school in the same place on Academy road when they return next Tuesday, but they will find it sporting a new name.From now on the institution will be known as Westmount Junior High School, which is considered a more fitting name than the former for a school which gives instruction from grades one to nine.While the term Junior High School is a familiar one in British Columbia and many states of the republic to the south, the Westmount institution is the only one bearing that designation in Ontario or Quebec.À new brass plate at the main entrance reveals the change of name.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago September4, 1953 \u201cHomologation of the valuation rolls will be the main item of business Tuesday night when Westmount\u2019s city councillors meet in a session that is scheduled to clean up several matters that have been hanging fire during the summer, and set the stage for a busy fall program.Citizens who are appealing changes in their municipal assessments will have an opportunity to add a verbal appeal to written protests which have already been filed at the city hall.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago September 6, 1963 \u201cAfter a year of silence and still another year when hammering and pounding noises predominated, the corridors of the old West- mount Junior High School again echo with voices of students.The voices are somewhat shriller, and more excited in tone than those heard previously for they belong not to the high school set, but to youngsters age five to 11, now pupils in the renamed Westmount Park School, replacing Kings and Queens.Exact figures are not yet available, but registration in the new school is expected to pass 400.The building, now completely renovated.was constructed as a high school in 1906 to accommodate 800 at a cost of about $400,000 and was called Park Academy.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago September 6, 1973 \u201cWork is about to commence on the extension south and west from the present Atwa- ter terminus for Line 1 of the Métro.This was heralded Monday morning when the usual nine-car trains on the line were reduced to six units \u2014 with a corresponding step-up of frequency which, some say, is providing an improvement in service.Shorter trains, more often, are expected to be the rule on the line for just over a year.Meanwhile, the reason: The tracks west of the Atwater station platform must be shortened by approximately three car lengths for the lowering of the roadbed and commencement of a downgrade of about 6 percent which will continue west of the present limit under Greene avenue and curve south toward the new Albert interchange on Atwater avenue adjoining the St Henri area.\u201d Five Years Ago September 8, 1983 \u201cThe morning after a letter from a West- mount resident appeared in THE EXAMINER critical of the administration of thecity, city inspectors renewed an original request to inspect his property made some eight or nine months ago.\u2018I'm certainly surprised they came today after all that long time, E.T.Pearson told THE EXAMINER Friday.\u2018It's very coincidental.Mayoral candidate Allen Nutik last summer complained to the city council that inspectors had visited his home the day after he had asked \u2018embarrassing\u2019 questions at a city council meeting.He had called the inspection harassment.\u201d The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 1, 1988 - 5 our mayor Her Worship May Cutler says.Review and resolve JANUARY 1 may be the calendar day for review of the past and resolve for the future.But psychologically it is really Labor Day.This is when we went back to school, hoping for good teachers and good companions, intending to behave a little better and work a little harder, wearing new clothes, carrying new books, and armed with new pencils and erasers.The pristine blank pages of empty exercise books challenged to an impossible perfection.Since my birthday also comes around Labor Day it made the season seem all the more a beginning.As I am also approaching the end of my first year as mayor, this fall catalyzes the review/resolve moment.Since I became mayor people have been asking meifllikeit.From the beginning my answer has been: \u201cSometimes I do and sometimes I don't.\u201d It still is.Here I can only list the problems that have frustrated me since I took office.They involve profound differences in perception of what Westmount citizens want today and how the city should be run during the next three years.I came in as a surprise candidate and an even more surprised winner.Those who had been directing the city as council members and in the administration thought the city was very well run.I came in seeing things that needed improvement and changes that should be made.I believe that the organization of the administration and the allocation of our monies should be looked at intensively at least once every four years.Are we getting our money's worth in terms of current citizen needs?Others believe it\u2019s just fine, the best possible administration in the best of all possible cities.1 believe we should have an open city where citizens\u2019 questions and input are welcomed, particularly giveh the quality of intelligence and concern of our residents.Others feel this merely encourages nuisances, wastes time and irritates the dedicated elected and the conscientious secretariat.I believe that our growing number of senior citizens need an information centre and community gathering place.Others feel that myriad institutions already in existence are doing a good enough job.I believe Westmount needs a whole new ) Oo u r M - N - A e J] Hon.Richard D.French says.Reacting to St Basile THE environmental accident at St Basile le Grand makes us all more sensitive to the fragility of life and health in the face of the by-products of modern technology.We're engaged in a constant struggle to achieve the benefits without undue risk.Unfortunately, one of the weak points in the system \u2014 in this case, the storage and disposal of dangerous chemicals and industrial waste \u2014 can betray us at any moment.We can't help sympathizing with those for whom the disruption of their lives is aggravated by the uncertair.y of the threat to their health.The information with .hich the cabinet was provided would inaicate that in fact the damage to the health of those in the area will not prove to be serious, although the potential danger, without the countermeasures that were undertaken, would have been very grave.The government has declared its readiness to shoulder some of the financial burden of the accident for the municipalities and their citizens.One of the major lessons of the events of last week is that information is of crucial importance.Toward the end of the week, Environment Minister Clifford Lincoln asked Communications Quebec to assist in establishing an information centre in the region of the accident.Insecurity breeds where information is lacking.We all hope that there will never be a next time for an event of this nature.If there is, however, we will move as quickly as we possibly can to assure peop'a by providing the latest, clearest and mos: reliable information possible.approach to cultural and community activities and the rethinking and renewal of our facilities.Others feel Westmount needs only attentive housekeeping.I believe the make-up of our citizenry, their varied cultural backgrounds, talents and interests, demand a city with more interplay between citizens\u2019 groups and the Hon.Donald J.Johnston For free trade IT WAS predictable.The free trade agreement is now complete.The House of Commons is the arena for a national shootout.Demagoguery, hysteria and more personal insults have won the day and Parliament's image will be the worse for it.I spoke on Monday evening \u2014 in all likelihood my last Commons speech.Having reviewed the agreement and most of the arguments for and against, I am satisfied that I should vote forit, despite its shortfalls and disappointments.On balance it should improve Canada\u2019s trade opportunities.It does not threaten our sovereignty any more than all treaties do.In any case, if it clearly works out to Canada's disadvantage, as its detractors claim, it can be terminated on six months\u2019 notice.With that provision, how can there be such hysteria about a loss of sovereignty?I told my colleagues that there is good news and bad news.The good news is that the free trade agreement is not as bad as its opponents claim.The bad news is that it is not as good as the government claims.But, unlike Meech Lake, we only have to itaslongasit k elected.Others think it is just fine as it is, I believe I was elected to do these things.They were my platform.Others believe I was elected by special interest groups that do not reflect the real Westmount.Who is right?What is the real Westmount today?What do our citizens want from their city, now and in the next few years?I shall be addressing the above differences over the next few weeks as I review the past year and look at the not-quite-blank pages of the year ahead.* % =x P.S.I inadvertently left a word out of last week's column so it said that my husband never studied French.In fact, my husband never stopped studying French his whole life, in spite of spending nearly all his working life in French.I Say! TIME wounds all heels.\u2014Groucho Marx 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 1, 1988 Evacuation plans must vary depending on the emergency .How should Westmounters know when to evacuate in an emergency such as a PCB incident?What are Westmount\u2019s plans?There\u2019s no simple answer, says Fire Director William Timmons.Every call for evacuation differs depending on whether it involves escape from a single building as in a fire, from an entire street as in a gas leak, or a wider area which might involve the Montreal Urban Community.Large-scale evacuation has to be co-ordinated with other municipalities to ensure that main arteries are not blocked, he explained.\u201cEvacuation is a judgment call depending on the danger,\u201d he said.In PCB emergencies, it can be confined locally depending on the extent of the problem.Emergency workers, usually police, firefighters and public safety officers, are trained to make such decisions and evacuate according to the circumstances.In some circumstances, wide-scale evacuation is not possible and it is safer to remain at home.DirTimmons, who is deputy director of Westmount\u2019s emergency measures organization, said PCB emergencies probably would not involve Stories by LAUREEN SWEENEY .the same type of operation as some disasters such as a nuclear emergency that would require provincial/ federal intervention and co-ordina- tion of evacuation efforts.The importance of pre-planning for any emergency, he said, is to know how personnel involved will be co-ordinated, who is in charge and what the resources are.All these are covered in the city\u2019s emergency measures plan, he explained.This provides for designated shelter areas and resources that can be called on to feed people and to carry out social services.The complexities of large-scale evacuation are among thoseenow being discussed at on-going meetings to draw up a co-ordinated MUC emergency plan, he pointed out.Dir Timmons attends those meetings.Final touches given to city emergency plan Westmount\u2019s emergency measures plan is near completion and is expected to be ready for testing late this fall.\u201cWe've completed the draft copy of the plan and are calling a special meeting of all directors involved for Sept 21,\u201d Fire Director William Tim- mons, deputy co-ordinator, reports.The purpose of this meeting is to review and update all documents before final typing.The final plan should be ready for the next meeting Oct 12.A third meeting is tentatively scheduled for Nov 2 at Victoria Hall for all personnel involved, Dir Tim- mons said.\u201cOn this occasion we hope to have teams from each area of the plan present a brief synopsis of their duties and role in a disaster.\u201d Following that session, the group will be ready to try out a scenario, Dir Timmons said.PCB.Continued from page one safer to store the toxic polychlorina- ted biphenyls (PCBs), which do not readily ignite, than to face the risks of moving them.But light and power officials told THE EXAMINER this week they would be getting estimates for possible disposal of their PCBs in Wales, where there is a PCB incinerator.A new concern for PCBs arises from last week's fire in a south shore warehouse where PCBs were believed to have been stored alongside flammable liquids.In that incident, at least one West- mount resident and her family were evacuated from their country home in St Bruno along with some 3,000 persons living near the fire at St Basile le Grand where a toxic PCB cloud developed.\u201cCitizens want to know where PCBs are located in Westmount,\u201d Mayor May Cutler said Sunday.They also want to know what evacuation plans the city has if such an emergency occurred here, said Councillor Sally Aitken, who reported having received a number of calls from concerned citizens.These matters were widely covered by THE EXAMINER three years ago when local fire officials moved quickly to publicize several small PCB leaks, adopt PCB safety guidelines and promote public awareness.Emergency measures \u201cSince then we've been working on our emergency measures plans,\u201d explained Fire Director William Timmons in reviewing the situation.\u201cEvacuation is a judgment call depending on the danger,\u201d he said.\u201cThere is no simple answer since a variety of scenarios could develop.\u201d (See separate story.) Although the manufacture and import of PCBs was banned in North America in 1977, their use is still permitted in certain electrical equipment but is generally being phased out.The PCB issue first arose in West- mount in May 1985 when a report from the city\u2019s light and power department concerning minor leaks in some of its own PCB equipment was released by Mayor Brian Gallery.The safety aspect was immediately taken up by Dir Timmons.Citizen Ramzi Ferahian called on city council to remove PCB transformers from all buildings and legislate that any spills be reported to the city.A conference was organized by fire Known PCB units in Westmount August 1985 and June 1988 (transformers and/or capacitors) Location 1500 Atwater (Place Alexis Nihon) #1 Westmount Square 4823 Sherbrooke

by some 200 emergency personnel from Quebec and New York.Federal government experts from Environment Canada addressed the seminar detailing the law regarding PCBs, the responsibilities of municipal officials, guidelines for inspectors, the informing of the public and the need for disposal facilities.Raised in council The issue continued to be raised by citizens at city council meetings in the months following and city council approved PCB inspection guidelines proposed by councillors Joan Rothman and Rhoda Vineberg.The city modified its own PCB storage section for reserve transformers at the Corporation Yard to better conform to approved government guidelines.It is now a sprin- klered area but still lacks recommended exterior ventilation.Other PCB proposals considered by council but never approved included retaining an outside firm specializing in hazardous materials to provide backup support in the event of an emergency.PCB-filled transformers that have been removed since 1985 include 15 from the historic Mother House building, some of which were found leaking Aug 14, 1985, shortly after the building's purchase by Dawson College.The units, some dating back to 1944, were cleaned up and eventually shipped to Wales for disposal at Continued on page 18 Westmount firefighters are shown here in August 1985 handling a leak from aging PCB electrical transformers discovered two days after Dawson College took possession of the historic Mother House building.The units later were removed.The special suits provided protection for firemen but are not the encapsuigl suits recommended for fighting PCB fires.Maintenance the key to minimizing risk posed by PCB units How much risk is presented by the PCBs that remain in Westmount?Very little, as long as they are well- maintained and kept according to Environment Canada guidelines, say city and fire officials.The relatively few transformers and capacitors (38) that exist here are scattered around in different buildings where they are reported tobe inspected regularly and are well- known by firefighters.Areas containing PCBs in West- mount conform to provincial requirements, inspectors report.Dangers that could result from the PCB equipment, fire officials say, are leakage or fire.Both can be virtually eliminated, according to Environment Canada, by observing relatively inexpensive precautions.Leaks and spills can be prevented by proper maintenance of the equipment or contained, if they do occur, by pans and curbs.Store or destroy?The PCB dilemma Disposal of the city\u2019s own PCB transformers appears to boil down to dollars and cents, Westmount officials admit.Is it worth spending tax dollars to ship contaminated units to Wales for destruction and to buy replacements?Or should they be used until they wear out and then stored?That's the \u201c$64,000 question\u2019 that was faced by Dawson College officials two years ago when they acquired 15 PCB units with the purchase of the Mother House.They solved the problem for $63,000 by choosing the Wales option and announcing that the money was \u201cpeanuts\u201d compared to a PCB cleanup that would result from an accident.Hydro-Québec is now understood to be considering this route.A similar decision faces West- mount, which had counted on provincial government plans to set up a disposal plant in Quebec by June 1990, explains Bruce St Louis, light and power director.\u201cSince this seems unlikely now,\" he told THE EXAMINER Monday, \u201cit is obvious that some policy decisions will have to be made.\u201d A publication by Environment Canada on the control of PCBs simplifies the dilemma by stating that \u201cdestruction of PCBs is preferable to long-term storage.\u201d Mr St Louis said he intends to estimate the cost of eliminating the Sates tehal ee ABR IERIRE (10: Pre cave ew 4 SL AL A city\u2019s PCB transformers for possible consideration in the 1989 budget now under preparation.\u201cThey ultimately will have to go,\u201d he said.\u201cThey do wear out.\u201d Transformers have an average lifespan of 35 years, Mr St Louis explained.The city\u2019s PCB units date from between 1962 and 1967.They account for a small fraction of the 1,000 regular transformers owned by the city.Eight of the PCB units are in use at Westmount Square and the Pascal building, 4823 Sherbrooke street.Another five de-energized units are stored at the Corporation Yard.\u201cI'mnot happy that we have them, but I feel right now ours are stored in a safe area and that those in use are well maintained,\u201d Mr St Louis said.He concurred with opinions expressed by city officials during the 1985 crackdown on PCBs that in some situations it is safer to store or maintain the PCB units than to risk moving them and causing spills.A study in 1985 on removing and replacing the PCB transformers from Westmount Square estimated the operation would cost $200,000.This revealed some would have to be taken out through the roof and lowered by crane because of their location.Mr St Louis said he would be discussing the many factors involved with his commissioner, Rhoda Vine- berg, as well as with city officials.CAE TEE SE SoA R SAE Fires are unlikely since electrical equipment is well insulated and PCBs are known for their relatively non-flammable characteristics.Circumstances which could ignite them, explains Fire Director William Timmons, come from fires in the immediate proximity of PCB units or internal ignition.This is why such units are required to be kept in areas away from public access, combustibles and flammable liquids.\u201cIt appears that the reason the PCBs burned in St Basile is because other chemicals caught fire and burned through the PCB containers,\u2019 says Dir Timmons.Transformers can ignite through overheating if the unit is allowed to deteriorate and is not topped up with its PCB coolant, he says.They can then be vulnerable to lightning strikes, switching surges and faulty conditions in power lines.City inspectors have been trained in accordance with guidelines set out by Environment Canada to check for possible defects in equipment and locations not conforming to the guidelines.These guidelines call for PCB units to be clearly labelled, contained in separate rooms away from public access and ventilated directly to the outside so as to prevent contamination of an entire building in event of a PCB fire.Curbs should be installed around such equipment to contain any leaks and holding pans should be installed under drains.Non-conforming One non-conforming location is the city\u2019s own storage facility cqu- taining five PCB units among og) reserve transformers at the Corporation Yard stores.This was to be brought in line with Environment Canada guidelines following recommendations by Dir Timmons, who was put in charge of PCB security.\u201cThe city will spend the money needed to ensure these recommendations are followed,\u201d Councillor Joan Rothman was quoted as saying at the time (see story Aug 8, 1985).Although PCB units were set aside from others, no exterior ventilation was installed, according to the city\u2019s inventory of PCB equipment updated June 8, 1988.All other locations (private buildings) containing PCB units have provided exterior ventilation for their units except for four of the six in Place Alexis Nihon, three of which are owned by Steinberg\u2019s and are being replaced in several months.y Cy 1988 The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 1.- WE 4 rine au Mais 4999 St.Chat® #13 LA NZ 9 4 Que- \" suite Wes 198

\u201cPeople will try out anything to see if it works,\u201d a police spokesman said yesterday.; At least two Westmount residents have now been taken in by a young woman claiming to need emergency cash and promising to return it.Neither saw the woman or their money again after doling out $30 and $40.After a resident of The Boulevard told her story in last week\u2019s EXAMINER, it was immediately recognized by a man living on Lansdowne as the same trick played on him in July.When the woman had not returned the $30 by Friday, he filed a report at local MUC station 23 and told THE

two-family dwellings in Westmount registered in June, 1988.Transfers of properties due to successions, family or business transactions are excluded, as are commercial and industrial properties: most expensive houses were 475 Cote Be St Antoine and 721 Upper Belmont, which sold for $560,000 and $550,000 respectively.Eleven homes sold in the $400,000s, another nine in the $300,000s and the remaining five in the $200,000s.The lowest price was $235,000, fetched for 29 Bruce.The average price for a Westmount house in June was $509,763.Removing the two highest and two lowest sales \u2014 to reduce the influence of unusual or extreme prices \u2014 provides an adjusted average of $472,407.This is up 23 percent from the adjusted: average of $384,750 a year ago.Not one of the 32 homes sold for less than the Montreal Urban Community valuation, indicating that \u2018719 Roslyn smallest mark-up, 4.5% 74 Sunnyside largest mark-up (sale price over MUC valuation), 173% sold for $1,070,000 despite last year's big increases the taxman is still valuating properties at amounts below true market value.The figures do not bode well for the 1989 valuation roll, due to be deposited at city hall in two weeks.Comparing sale prices to valuations, the 32 houses sold for an average mark-up of 58.7 percent.The adjusted mark-up is 49.8 percent.If this figure is applied to the average 1988 valuation of single-fam- ily homes in Westmount of $341,067, a typical price for the month of $510,918 is determined.This is up from the typical May price of $441,340, but down considerably from the typical

TET Roslyn pr incipal Bertha Dawang The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, September 1, 1988 7 15 is rapidly learning the answers The phone on the desk of the principal's office at Roslyn School jangles demandingly.Bertha Dawang looks at it with something akin to despair.\u201cI've been talking on it all day,\u201d she says, \u201cand I don\u2019t have any answers.\u201d Mrs Dawang has replaced Barbara McKnight as principal of Roslyn.She visited the school in June and officially took up her new post at the beginning of August.As of last Thursday, a week before classes were to start today, she had not yet met all the staff members, had not met the school committee, had met only one student and was still finding her way around her new territory.She answers the phone with a @ \u201cHello, Roslyn School.I'll There is a brief pause and then Mrs Dawang provides a flood of information for the caller.For someone without any answers, she does remarkably well.Mrs Dawang, a Westmount resident, was principal of Meadowbrook Elementary School in Lachine for 14 years before coming to Roslyn.Both are Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal schools with French-immersion and giftedness programs.Creative and level-headed Joan Rothman, regional commissioner for the PSBGM, says, \u201cBertha has, in a regular elementary school, done terrific work in promoting gift- edness programs.She is a very creative, level-headed educator.She works well with her teachers, inspires them and gives them freedom to innovate.\u201d Once again this year, Roslyn will have the services of Maureen Gross, a full-time gifted children's teacher, says Mrs Dawang.At Meadowbrook there was a part-time teacher for the giftedness program and the school piloted the Renzulli enrichment model.But, as Mrs Dawang hastens to add, that model is one of many.\u201cIf what's here is good, fine \u2014 we\u2019ll improve on that.\u201d There also will be a bilingual music program and a free-flow program which is designed to help chil- By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN dren with specific problems in reading.Mrs Dawang has no immediate plans to change anything at Roslyn.\u201cI'm not one to implement change for the sake of change, but for the sake of improvement.\u201d She says that there will probably be \u201ca change in style\u201d as a result of her arrival, but that she and Miss McKnight are \u201cphilosophically much the same.I like an open, warm, fun atmosphere.It\u2019s an ambiance \u2014 a feeling of being relaxed, accepted, secure \u2014 acceptance of what we can and can\u2019t do.We have to enjoy and respect each other.\u201d The new principal is a strong supporter of computer-assisted instrue- tion (CAI) and says she would like to see the computer program right across the grades, with computers in every classroom.\u201cThe only thing that would prevent it would be a lack of personnel oralack of lab time,\u201d she says.There are between 15 and 20 Apple computers at the school, which makes for littletime when divided between the roughly 760 students.Memorabilia She looks fondly at her own Macintosh Plus, which has come with her from Meadowbrook.She says with a grin that she refused to leave unless it came too.Hanging on a wall beneath the windows is a little clown figure dressed in shimmering purple.\u201cIt was given to me as a parting gift from the region \u2014 I had to change regions within the PSBGM to come here \u2014 to remind me of good humor, good times and that if you can laugh hard you can cry hard,\u201d she says, standing beside the small figure.\u201cAnd then there\u2019s my teddy bear,\u201d she says, her face lighting up.She crosses the room to a filing cabinet.Hanging beside it is a swing made of long white ribbons and a styrofoam seat.Sitting in the swing is a white teddy bear.The kindergarten students at Meadowbrook gave it to her last year.Like the computer, she would not leave without it.On her desk is a small vase of flowers made using the Japanese art Westmount Preschool may have home at WHS Unity-Westmount Preschool appears to have found a permanent home.It will be moving into renovated quarters in Westmount High School, probably in October.WHS principal Richard Meades managed to get $45,000 from the Protestant School Board for renovation and maintenance projects in several areas of the building which need work.Mr Meades is making every rt to see that renovation of two er team rooms, the proposed site for the preschool, will be completed by the end of September.Preschool chairman Jan Wishart says she is \u201cvery happy\u201d to have found such a good location which provides a separate entrance, two large rooms with private washrooms, a large green space for a playground and an easy and safe area for children to be dropped off and picked up.The preschool is situated in the Unity Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club on Greene avenue, but has been forced to look for a new home because of the uncertain future of Unity (see story last week).While the WHS renovation work is undertaken during September, the preschool will stay in its facilities at Unity.~ Other work Mr Meades proposes seeing carried out at WHS includes repairing some washrooms which had been closed, and relocating the Project School into one area of the building.For information and registration at Unity-Westmount preschool, contact Debbie Reid at 933-0355.PSBGM Chorale holds auditions Auditions are now being held for membership in the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal Chorale for the 1988-89

says the Meadowbrook kindergarten teacher is an origami buff and gave after-school classes in the intricate art.The flowers were made for her by the group.Extracurricular programs After-school activities are an important part of education, says Mrs Dawang.She believes that such activities should be optional, as children, like adults, have different interests.\u201cThat\u2019s my philosophy of extracurricular activities \u2014 if you like it, do it.Making a decision is part of their education.This school has lots of after-school activities.I'm dying to see if there's as much as I'm used to.\u201d The new principal said she was looking forward to meeting the staff and school committee.One thing she expects to find very different will be the absence of a Home and School Association in addition to the school committee such as exists at Meadow- brook.\u201cHere, the school committee does it all,\u201d she says.The staff at Roslyn was due back on Monday of this week.The students arrive this morning.And Mrs Dawang says she is eager to learn the names and faces of all.All indicators show she'll have little trouble.Bertha Dawang What are you doing for the High Holidays?The Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal is holding an Alternative Service for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur at the Fraser Hickson Library in N.D.G.Perhaps you've been searching for a comfortable place where you can express your Jewish heritage for the High Holidays, but haven't yet found it in a traditional synagogue.If so, the Reconstructionist Synagogue of Montreal, first established in 1960, offers a Jewish religious experience that is not only sensitive to tradition, but also gives voice to being both modern and Jewish.We express our Judaism in keeping with our belief in pluralism, individualism and equality of the sexes.We acknowledge that Jews should be able to choose how they want to be Jewish.And that it is not possible for all Jews to practice and believe in the same way.The Reconstructionist community welcomes both singles and families, children as well as adults in its programs and services.The Alternative Minyan service for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur will be led by Gary Ellison, of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia.Join us.We'll welcome you.Rosh Hashanah Services: September 12, 13 Yom Kippur Services: September 20, 21 FOR MORE

resident William E.Shaver, since the public information meeting is scheduled for the same day at the hospital, 6875 LaSalle boulevard in Verdun.\u201cWe put in a lot of effort to sensitize the population to the progress our hospital has accomplished during its 107 years of existence,\u201d says Dr Boillat.\u201cWe believe this open house will draw the population nearer to our employees, who hold the responsibility of offering services to more than 800 in-patients and 3,000 out-patients.\u201d Many kiosks await visitors in Douglas Hall where videos will be presented and where brochures on services offered can be picked up.Visitors can walk or use the minibus to visit the pavilions.Scientists from the Lehmann Research Centre will explain their studies on depression, alcoholism, Alzheimer's and other diseases, and labs will be open for a look at the ultra-specialized equipment used for research on the brain.The professionals of the recently renovated Newman Rehabilitation

with you a lovely story that I found in the August 1987 issue of Readers\u2019 Digest.It\u2019s about an elderly woman who confounded everyone around her (herself included) by buying a motor scooter.Why a motor scooter?you might ask.She said that she asked herself that same question even as she was paying for the thing.She knew it was a dangerous vehicle, even in the small town where she lived.Everyone told her it was a crazy thing to do.Cars appear around curves in the d when you least expect them and could get herself killed.She'd wanted a scooter like this one all her life and yet she\u2019d never seriously considered getting one.Now, as she looked around at the people she knew, she began to feel a tremendous urgency to really live her life.She thought of the woman who had refused a terrific job, just because she was afraid of moving away.And then there was that whitewater trip that a friend had turned DOROTHY SIROTA 1 i i } i ; ce to tear her eyes from the road, she'd snatch a look at the countryside.As her confidence grew, she ventured further and out to the lake, where, armed with some of her breakfast rolls, she could stop and feed the ducks.The first time she tried this she saw two little boys eyeing the scooter.Soon they were at her side, wanting to know if she'd like to trade for their two bikes, where she got her scooter, how much it cost, who she was, where she lived and what her name was.That scooter was their connecting link, and there was no generation gap.She began to realize too that the people in her village were being very friendly.They'd wave at her as she passed on her scooter and call out, \u201cHow ya doing?\u201d She thought at first it was because she looked so funny in her white helmet and leather gloves and jacket (which she wore for protection in case she got knocked down).But when she looked in their faces, she sensed their warmth and UNDAUNTED: The Rainbow Preschool summer program held its traditional round-the-block

CLOTHING Tel: 933-3970 Cartoonist's work on view in The Moderns Another side of the artistic talent of EXAMINER editorial cartoonist Ferg Gadzala will be revealed to the Westmount and Montreal public tomorrow with the scheduled opening in theatres of the Alan Rudolph film The Moderns.The film, which was shot in Montreal last year, is set in Paris of the 1920s and is centred on an unsuccessful American artist, Nick Hart, who earns a living drawing caricatures for his friend Oiseau, a gossip columnist.However, Keith Carradine, who plays Nick Hart, is an actor, not an artist.That's where Ferg Gadzala comes in.Mr Gadzala was hired fo do the sketches for Mr Carradine\u2019s character, and as such his artwork is an important part of the film.The sketches are done in the style of Miguel Covarrubias, a Mexican artist whose caricatures were the rage of Vanity Fair in the 1920s, and that was a challenge.\u201cCovarrubias approached caricature differently than most,\u201d says Mr Gadzala.\u201cHis work not only had to have resemblance, it had to be art.He revealed the person through incisive line.At that time caricature was an art form.\u201d Mr Gadzala did most of the sketches right on the movie set, moving around from one location to another.He also had to coach Mr Carradine enough so the actor also could be filmed doing the sketches he is credited for.Mr Gadzala also took some time to do a bit part in the movie, as a street painter.The latter role involved no acting on Mr Gadzala\u2019s part because he is a veteran Montreal street painter who has paid his artistic dues cranking out caricatures of tourists.When Montreal authorities clamped down on street artists and artisans a couple of years ago, he was one of those to face the long arm of the law.Now he does most of his caricature work in a more organized setting, 1369 Greene Ave.(Just below Sherbrooke Royal-Lepage Building) 937-6510 Le Coin des Enfants Le Coin des Enfants (The Children\u2019s

members of Canada\u2019s men's gymnastics team which is going to the Seoul Olympics this month.The large caricatures apparently will be mounted in the team\u2019s quarters as a way to lessen tension and bring the group together.He became editorial cartoonist for THE EXAMINER last June, fulfilling a long-held desire to do regular cartooning.Since then, he has enjoyed learning more about Westmount and tramping about its streets to sketch actual houses and locations for use in his cartoons.He also is working on a cartoon strip which he hopes soon to syndicate to newspapers across the country.Right now, however, he\u2019s enjoying finally seeing the fruits of his labors in The Moderns.The film opened in New York to very good reviews last spring and opened in Toronto, also to very good reviews, over a month ago.Mr Gadzala, along with many Montrealers, saw the film for the first time only last Thursday when it was screened as part of the Montreal World Film Festival.He was pleased with what he saw.Ci .Cl CJ 0d ° Ll ° .Q Ld ° LA ® One of EXAMINER cartoonist Ferg Gad- zala's caricatures done for the film The Moderns, scheduled to open in Montreal theatres tomorrow.What do

reports Friday, is listed as involving two men who walk their dogs in the park at Lansdowne avenue and St Catherine street.One lives on Redfern avenue, the other on de Maisonneuve boulevard.It

Bourgeoys on Westmount avenue (now the Mother House of the Congregation of Notre Dame) was discreetly moved to a special storage building in another section of the property located in Montreal (see story Sept 5, 1985).This coincided with the city\u2019s get-tough policy.Polychlorinated biphenyls may cause skin irritation, cancer and liver damage in exposed individuals.Their use was widespread after 1929; in Canada, mainly as coolants in electrical equipment.Because of their non-biodegradable nature, they are considered extremely hazardous to the environment when they enter the food chain.Although they require high temperatures to ignite, PCBs will burn and produce deadly by-products (dioxins and furans).PCBs can, however, be destroyed without producing these toxic substances by incineration at temperatures over 1,000 degrees Celsius.Material that is proved to be contaminated by PCBs requires careful wrapping by environment protection personnel and storing for future disposal.Everyone knows someone who's been helped by a blood donation.You might be next.Do your part to keep the supply available.Be a Red Cross blood donor.GOODWIN HOUSE NURSING HOME WESTMOUNT

Lansdowne Centre, a tutorial service for students with learning problems, the task becomes finding which methods of learning are best suited to individual students.In the centre's jargon, it is called \u2018\u2018unlocking the modalities.\u201d What's involved is intense one-on-one teaching that tailors the student's learning strategies to personal strengths and weaknesses.\u201cThere are a lot of labels about learning styles, learning disabilities and learning skills.The most popular and extreme is dyslexia, which means different things to different people,\u201d says Kay Dila, a founding member of Lansdowne.She co- directs the centre\u2019s public relations By COOPER LANGFORD with Carolyn Melmed, another founding member.\u201cWe try not to use labels with kids because that tends to limit the approach (to teaching).It limits many things the child understands hecando.\u201d Lansdowne Centre helps students who have trouble in the classroom because of perceptual problems, unusual language development or ineffective learning strategies.1988 will mark the centre\u2019s 16th year.Humble beginnings From humble beginnings in 1972, when it tutored 32 students in rooms at

of 26 full- and part-time employees.The centre also develops programs and supplies teaching staff for the Project School, which is run in partnership with Vanguard School and the McGill-Montreal Children's Hospital Learning Centre at Westmount High School.Ms Dila and Ms Melmed call the centre's method \u201cdiagnostic teaching.\u201d \u201cWhen we start teaching, we start with a lot of questions.Through our teaching, observing the child, trying different methods and different materials.we get information about the child as a learner so that we can begin to move in the direction of the child being successful,\u201d says Ms Dila, describing the diagnostic method.\u201cWe don't walk in to a child with three manuals and say we have to get through this in the next 10 weeks.\u201d Use guidelines \u201cWe always work with guidelines,\u201d adds Ms Melmed.\u201cThere are certain methods we've each tried that we are comfortable with, that we have seen other children be successful with.But we always work with the idea that if it's not going to be the best and most successful, then we will deviate.It\u2019s not a rigid, set program.\u201d Out of respect for confidentiality, Ms Dila and Ms Melmed are reluctant to discuss case histories in detail forthe record.But they are willing to Carolyn Melmed and Kay Dila discuss some cases in limited terms.One involves a Montreal man who held an executive position with a local firm.The man suffered perceptual problems with his hearing.Though he could hear, he had difficulty retaining spoken information.At school, he began as a slow learner.But as he progressed to higher grades and the work began to focus Going on holidays?Domicar WESTMOUNT, QUEBEC Away for the weekend?Why not take advantage of our unique house-minding

relatedness,\u201d Mr Bond explains.A master instructor with the Mountain Crane Tai Chi Tao Academy, he has recently made a film on the art.He is scheduled to appear in a PBS television series in the
