[" Tax rate lower than last year\u2019s: By LAUREEN SWEENEY WesTmouNTs 1989 municipal budget reduces local spending for the first time in many years and curbs the whopping tax hikes of the past.The $40.8 million budget, tabled Monday night, eliminates the 1988 heritage payments program and lowers the general tax rate to $1.40 per $100 of property valuation, a 30- cent cut over last year.It holds the line on last year\u2019s budget by reducing local spending 2.7 percent to offset increases in payments tothe MUC and rising costs of water from Montreal.Mayor May Cutler hailed the new ¥- as turning the tide on escalat- Making all of Westmount your home Westmount, Quebec, Thursday, January 26, 1989 50¢ Rotary to buy back Unity Club building By CHARLES MAPPIN For more budget coverage, see pages six to eight.Vol.LXI, No.4 municipal spending and called \u201ca change in t minimal cuts direction.\u201d City council was immediately congratulated for making \u201ca start\u201d on cutting costs by both the Westmount Municipal Association and the West- mount Finance Action Committee (see separate story).This year\u2019s budget projects a 17.1 percent increase in revenues from sources other than property taxes, said Councillor Phillip Aspinall in reading the budget address.This will require the city to raise $28.9 million in real estate tax and lower the mill rate.What effect the lower mill rate may have on taxpayers depends on the amount of individual property valuation increases over 1988, the finance commissioner explained.\u201cThe lower the valuation increase, the greater the benefit.\u201d No heritage payments Many homeowners, though they may receive lower tax bills this year, will end up paying out more money to thecity because of the elimination of the heritage program payments.The increase in total payout on this year's average single-family dwelling valuation of $380,939, for Continued on page six FOR THE BIRDS: The Rotary Ciub had three special guests to lunch last week.Derin Henderson of the Macdonald Raptor Research centre brought with her Nina, a peregrine falcon, and a saw-whet owl, Hercules (see story page 22).Most homeowners will have tax bill increases less than 7% The Greene avenue Unity Club building is on the verge of becoming a community centre, thanks to the combined efforts of the Rotary Club of Westmount and local residents.A tentative agreement has been reached whereby the Rotary Club will purchase the building at 1090 Greene from the Unity Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club for $1 and considerations.Rotary will maintain ownership of the building \u2014 which it erected in 1949 on land donated by the city and gave to Unity \u2014 while turning over day-to-day management to a new board that will run the facility as a community centre, Rotary president James Griffin said Tuesday.The board, to be formed in the coming weeks, will be made up predominantly of local residents with some representatives of Rotary.The new entity will lease space to Council approves hall rental: various community organizations, including one or two full-time core groups and several part-time ones.\u201cThe purpose of Rotary buying the building is to provide residents with a community centre.Rotary will own the building and oversee its management, but it will be run by a community group,\u201d Mr Griffin said.All building operating expenses will be passed on to the users.Rotary will neither make money from the operations nor be required to spend money on them.Mr Griffin said the club was \u201cnot in the business of subsidizing\u201d other organizations.A part of the money charged to tenants will be put into a capital improvement fund to cover major building repairs in the future.The deal still needs to be signed and given formal approval by city council before the property is handed over.A clause in the deed prevents any sale without the city\u2019s blessing.Mayor May Cutler said she expects council will give its approval once all the paperwork is in.\u201cWe're delighted with Rotary\u2019s offer and we'll do whatever we can to facilitate the transition,\u201d Mrs Cutler Committee 178 plans said, remarking on the number of families living in the southeast sector of the city.Greene avenue resident Diane \u2014\u2014\u2014 STARA 1 THE effect of this year's 30-cent reduction in mill rate on real estate tax bills for single-family dwellings has been compiled by city officials based on the 1989 valuation roll\u2019s average increase in single family To dalle eid Willer ve oth dwellings of 14.9 percent.means that: The comparison with last year\u2019s tax bill, however, does not take into account this year\u2019s elimination of heritage payments ($400-$800).The mill rates reduction to $1.40 per $100 of property valuation + 68 percent of all single-family dwellings will have no increase in the 1989 tax bill or may even have a decrease;

VUE DE FAIRE FACE AUX DÉPENSES DE LA VILLE DE WESTMOUNT POUR LEXERCICE FINANCIER 1989\" était adopté par le conseil municipal de la ville de Westmount, lors d\u2019une assemblée spéciale tenue à l'Hôtel de ville le 23 janvier 1989.L'objet et le but de ce règlement est d'établir les taux de la taxe foncière et de la taxe d'affaires requis afin de prélever les revenus nécessaires pour rencontrer les dépenses budgétées de la Ville de Westmount pour l\u2019exercice financier 1989.Les détails se rapportant audit règlement sont contenus au complet dans le Règlement 1016, lequel est ouvert pour vérification par toutes les personnes intéressées, au bureau du greffier de la ville, Hôtel de ville, Westmount.DONNÉ à Westmount, PQ., ce 23ième jour de janvier 1989.R.C.Wilkins Greffier WESTMOUNT 25 MUNICIPAL TAX COLLECTION ROLL 1989 Pursuant to Section 503 of the Cities and Towns Act (R.S.Q., chap.C- 19), public notice is hereby given to the ratepayers and inhabitants of Westmount and to ail whom it may concern: THAT the Collection Roll of Westmount for the year 1989 prepared by the Treasurer covering the municipal taxes of Westmount, was deposited on the 26th day of January 1989 in the Office of the Treasurer at the Westmount City Hall, 4333 Sherbrooke, where it will remain open for examination by persons interested or their representatives.The tax billing will be sent within the allotted delay and the first instalment, representing 50% of the tax amount, will be payable on or before March 1, 1989 and the second instalment on or before July 1, 1989.Ratepayers who may not have received their tax notice may obtain a copy at the Westmount City Hall keeping in mind that property taxes must still be paid on their respective due dates whether or not a tax notice has been received.Given at Westmount, this 26th day of January, 1989.Daniel G.Décarie, c.a.Treasurer can cost $3,000/hour Friday is an expensive day for a snowstorm.When a Friday snowfall requires weekend cleanup, the overtime labor costs are exorbitant.Last Friday 9.2 cm of snow fell on Westmount and the rest of Montreal, on top of Thursday's 4.4 cm.West- mount public works director Fred Caluori said snow removal operations didn\u2019t get underway until Monday because the amount of snow didn\u2019t warrant the cost of overtime work.\u201cIn Montreal, the crews worked Saturday and Sunday clearing snow, but we didn\u2019t see the need to work on the weekend,\u201d he said, explaining that local streets had been scraped almost bare prior to the storm because of regular upkeep.Westmount snow crews get paid time-and-a-half for working Saturdays or after 4 pm during weekdays.On Sundays, they get double time.That adds up to a hefty overtime bill when the full contingent is out.Mr Caluori said it costs about $3,000 an hour in labor at double time.\u201cIt\u2019s nice to get the snow out of the way, but it's very expensive.There was no justification for spending that kind of money on overtime pay last weekend.If it had been an eight- inch snowstorm (about 20 cm), it would have been a different matter.The men would have been out there,\u201d Mr Caluori said.Since the snow removal crews get paid their regular wage for working Monday to Friday regardless of whether or not it snows, the removal work was put off until Monday.Snow removers called as needed This winter Westmount\u2019s public works department is calling in extra help only when needed, rather than enlisting a full slate of casual laborers for the season.Public works director Fred Ca- luori says the city saves about $5,000 each week the personnel is not required.In past years, a staff of 10 additional workers was hired from December to March to help with snow cleanup.This year, the city has a list Snowblower fires on car A snowblower accidentally threw snow and ice onto a car parked Friday in front of 90 Hillside avenue, MUC police report.Public safety officers, who were flagged down by the car\u2019s owner at 7:45 am, notified police as well as the city's public works department.The snow removal was being done by a contractor.of available persons and it calls them when extra help is needed.That's been only five days to date this winter.\u201cThe advantage is that we're not carrying people during the slack periods,\u201d Mr Caluori said.\u201cIt makes it a bit more difficult to obtain the help, but we're developing a list of about 20 names so we can always get the 10 we need,\u201d Mr Caluori said.The work includes sweeping city steps, accompanying the snowblow- ers on foot, and general cleanup.When they are called in, the temporary help get paid $11.88 an hour.Door damaged A car backed into a garage door at 80 Summit Circle Friday evening causing over $500 damage to the door, police said.The 1988 Chevrolet sustained less than $500 damage.It was driven by someone living on the Montreal portion of Grosvenor avenue.Next Scheduled City Council Meeting Monday, February 6,

indeed, a better one than we have had for several years.The cost of local government, both in munie- ipal Westmount and in the metropolitan Montreal Urban Community, continues horrifically high.But the annual upward spiral of most Westmount property owners\u2019 tax bills has, at least, abated.Said quickly, $5,000 does not seem too much in this age of inflation for the taxes on an average Westmount house.But it still isa big slice of the income of the occupants in many cases.In any event, the era of slipping into budgets all sorts of frills and extras, which the administration of the city previously had got along quite well without, appears to be over.There are too many super-con- scious citizens, some with special financial knowledge, looking over the municipal shoulders and ready to question.Someone has remarked to us that it used to be $80,000 extra for this, $50,000 additional for that and $65,000 for something else which soon added up to a lot of new spending which, on analysis, was padding.There has been a lot of commendable paring here, cutting there and doing without somewhere else for this year.It should be noted that the savings have been made in purely local services; the MUC still is on a spending jag, of which Westmount has had to take its share with other island municipalities.Would that the new West- mount economy bug could infect the ever- growing urban community, source of so much of our fiscal grief for so long now since the Union Nationale government (remember it?) which started it all.We have one criticism in all this to direct at Mayor Cutler and her council colleagues.A perfectly logical suggestion, which Her Worship herself brought back from her study of the City of Outremont, has not been implemented: a hiring freeze.As the finance commissioner, Coun Phillip Aspinall, himself identified in his usual able budget presentation Monday evening, salaries and benefits take the lion\u2019s share of the city\u2019s spending.More significantly, in 1989 they will account for 59.5 percent of the expenditures, up from 56.2 percent in 1988.However this may be excused, it is unacceptable, on two grounds: 1) There is no reason other than refusal to grasp the nettle, why salaries and benefits must rise year after year, inflation or no inflation.Businesses that find themselves strapped call halts; why must public service be different?and 2) What is wrong with a hiring freeze?If persons quit, retire or are fired for cause we could try getting along without replacing them, doubling up the necessary work and eliminating the unnecessary.There is a great deal more money to be saved in salaries and benefits than in trimming the spending on things.Indeed, the fewer people there are around, the fewer things that are needed.Happy tax-paying! Freedom of assembly here WESTMOUNT city council Monday evening did several right things.One of these was the firm decision, reportedly unanimous, to rent Victoria Hall once more to Westmount bookseller Mr Stephen Nowell and/or his Committee 178.Mr Nowell apparently had been attempting, without success, here and elsewhere to hire a place in which to hold a follow-up meeting to the overflow January 8 gathering, also at Victoria Hall.There citizens voiced strong but well-ordered concern about the passage of Bill 178, which has voided the decisions of the Quebec courts, upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada, which found the signs provisions of Bill 101, the provincial language law, unconstitutional.Various organizations approached understandably but, we think, overcautiously turned him down, presumably because they feared violence and/or damage to their premises.Some simply may not have agreed with Mr Nowell\u2019s movement which, at the earlier meeting, had heard suggestions of civil disobedience as a means of fighting the language law.Churches and other organizations which may be deemed to be private are entitled to their reservations, even if in some instances the denial of use of the facilities may not have been based on well-defined, rational policy.Would any of these places have allowed a meeting of, say, supporters of abortion (or of right-to-life)?Opponents of either cause also are capable of violence.So, for that matter, are chess fans or poetry partisans.However, Victoria Hall is an entirely different matter.First and foremost, it is a publichall, owned by the public, designed for public use and even free to certain classes of users.Which is as it should be.In fact, it used to be a favorite meeting place for political groups until most of their deliberations in their dullness ceased to be popular events, even for card- carrying members.Now we have a group, with the undertones if not the outright coloration of a political movement, fervently opposed to an action of the government of the day.It may not yet know where it is going, even precisely who its enemy may be, but it has a cause which it wishes to define and act upon.This is precisely one of the things Victoria Hall is for.It may not be large enough for Mr Nowell's purpose, but he and his friends should be able to organize their event in such a way as to progress toward an objective.(It also has been suggested that the initial spontaneity and fervor may have been lost and Victoria Hall easily may house the turnout this time, in one sitting as opposed to the two last time.) City council quite rightly has taken the position that to let the hall to any group does not necessarily spell endorsement.Indeed, the aims and objects of a renting group are precisely none of council\u2019s business \u2014 unless the solons have evidence from previous performance or documented reputation that the purpose is inimical to the best interests of the city, its citizens or its property.We have heard concerns that the meeting could be the subject of physical attack.That possibility, of course, always exists.But any unemotional assessment of the possibility suggests the risk is minimal.The yahoos and punks who have been defacing signs, breaking windows or causing other damage around Montreal recently have not been known for their bravery; rather, they have been doing their dubious stuff surreptitiously or under cover of darkness.We believe the MUC police, the Westmount Public Security Unit, our Fire Brigade and our alert citizens are more than equal to these craven agents of Premier Bourassa's \u201csocial unrest.\u201d And we have heard also concerns about Editorial Notes SPEAKING of reputations, something nice happened at the \u2018new\u2019 West- David Berger Says.Concerns need addressing BILL 178 was not the only blow to minority language rights last year.The governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta both abolished the historic rights of the French- speaking minorities in those provinces after the Supreme Court had confirmed those rights.Yet, apart from a few questions and answers in the question period, Parliament has not debated the significance of these events to the country as a whole.Inreply toa question about developments in Saskatchewan, the prime minister stated that the best way to protect minority language rights is to include guarantees in the Constitution.Yet he seems intent on passing Meech Lake as is, without such guarantees.It is often asserted that Pierre Trudeau was inflexible.Yet, after making major concessions to the provinces to obtain the agreement to patriate the Constitution, he agreed to further changes to accommodate the three points of contention raised by René Lév- esque on Nov 5, 1981.The mobility rights clause was modified; access to English schools in Quebec was limited to children of Quebec residents who had received their primary school instruction in Canada in English; and provision was made for compensation to provinces that opt out of amendments transferring provincial powers to Parliament relating to education or other cultural matters.Contrast this to the \u2018seamless web\u201d of Meech Lake where the prime minister has up to now insisted that not a single change can be contemplated.Have recent events not convinced Brian Mulroney that he address the concerns about Meech Lake and make amendments that provide solid guarantees for language minorities throughout Canada?HAR SE HR; HH Westmount\u2019s reputation.Well, what of it?We think it is pretty good.It will do us no harm whatsoever among the decent majority of our fellow citizens anywhere to be known, in addition to whatever else they already may think of us, as a place which is not fearful of shadows.We are, rather, totally in favor of the right to expression (what the Bill 178 row is really about) and, in this instance, assembly.It would be totally wrong if Committee 178 was denied the latter right, not by a despicably misled provincial government but by our own municipal government.mount High School the other day.Kathy Hugessen, our news editor, assigned herself to cover the official ribbon-cutting by Mayor May Cutler and MNA Richard French marking the local institution\u2019s reopening as an \u201calternative school.\u201d Came the day and the chief of our news staff found that not only was one of her children ill and could not be left but that none of the rest of her staff was available.A call to the school assured her not to worry.Teachers assured her that the events of theday would be suitably covered.True to their word, in due course the appropriate story was delivered to our office, along with a roll of film which included excellent photographs by student Janet Oh.The WHS Challenge Program has been launched, to enrich student life and curriculum and assure the future mission of the school.So far as we are concerned, the challenge already is being recognized.* * * OBVIOUSLY, the four young men arrested in Westmount and now before the courts on charges related to spray-painting various stop signs are, if convicted, only some of the mischief-making vandals at work in recent weeks here and elsewhere.All incidents have not been in the supposed francophone cause, for clearly other senseless persons have been out obliterating French words as well, presumably anglophone titfortatists \u2014 a relatively new phenomenon in the language furor.We are amused by some of the work, the end result of which seems to portray a message opposite to that intended.Specifically, the dual- worded signs bearing \u201cArrêt\u201d with \u201cStop\u201d\u2019underneath have had the latter overwritten with \u201c101\u201d presumably because \u201cStop\u201d is seen as an English word.In fact, it is French as weil and should suffice but for so-called experts who have dictated these things from way back when.In any event, it does not seem to have occurred to the francophone graffitists that the net effect is to turn such signs into \u201cArrét 101\" or, translated, \u2018Stop Bill 101\u201d! Hardly the intention.J UD SU RON ime 00e tr EN PE CEE SS Tam Cut Vat Coty = SAB Cath oven * a= 2e: Shad Forty-five Years Ago January 28, 1944 \u201cThe need for central libraries in Montreal schools was stressed last week by Miss Gwendoline McEwen, children\u2019s librarian at the Westmount Public Library.She was speaking at the St Laurent Home and School Association meeting held in the school.She pointed out that the reading ability of children in the same grade varied greatly, and that it was a mistake to confine them to their textbooks and supplementary readers.Miss McEwen advocated setting up libraries in the schools where children could choose their literature according to their reading ability and at the same time round out their education.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago January 22, 1954 *.Dr Kilpatrick, principal of the United Theological College, addressed the formal opening ceremony of an eight-room addition to Roslyn School in Westmount.George Penrose, principal of Roslyn since 1934, said that when the school was opened in 1908, four of its 14 classrooms did not have to be used.By 1924 enrollment had grown so that an extension of eight more classrooms was necessary.In addition to the new extension, renovations in the old part of the building have added a medical room, a principal\u2019s office, a staff room and a reading room.The old gymnasium-auditorium has been converted into a visual education room.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago January 24, 1964 \u201cThe drive to recruit volunteers for training with Westmount\u2019s newly formed Civil Protection Organization has met with \u2018modest success, a police department spokesman declared Wednesday.Nineteen residents, most of them in their twenties, applied this week to undergo training in rescue work to assist regular municipal police and firemen in case of local disaster or nuclear attack, he said.\u2018We are gratified to have these, he said, \u2018but we must get more without delay as the courses begin on January 29.\u2019 The organization hopes to have about 25 men at that time.\u201d Ten Years Ago January 25, 1979 \u201cThe personal effects and furniture of Mrs Gladys Harvey, owner of the illegally occupied house at 74 Columbia avenue, have been put in a warehouse and many items may have been sold by now.The action has been taken by the public curator\u2019s office with almost no communication with members of Mrs Harvey's family.This information came to light in the wake of eviction from the house of Mr and Mrs Ivar Rushevic, a couple who paid the back taxes, made renovations and moved in in 1977.On Jan 12 Judge J.Brendan O\u2019Connor ruled they had no right to occupy the house and ordered them to leave.\u201d One Year Ago January 21, 1988 \u201cTenants in some of Westmount's largest apartment buildings appear to have emerged as winners in the 1988 valuation crisis which has shifted the tax burden even further onto the shoulders of homeowners.The effect of the city\u2019s reduced mill rate on only slightly higher apartment building assessments has actually reduced tax bills by 12.9 percent in the case of 1-3 Westmount Square.According to tax bill information provided by city officials, annual levies are down at (several) large complexes.Although tenants of these buildings may be able to use these reductions to fight for lower rents.their gain has to be picked up by the owners of single-family dwellings.\u201d [RECT FE à > 3 7 The Westmount Examiner, Thursd oy, dln nore ay, January 36, 1989 - 5 TO HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL?RECYCLE GAvzALA Westmount Examiner Richard D.French says.\u201c Trial by media THE policeman\u2019s job is not an easy one.Its rigors lead policemen to believe that only other policemen can be fully trusted, and often not even then.It goes without saying that \u201ccivilians\u201d will take the police for granted if they perform well, and criticize bitterly otherwise.To at least one policeman in the SPCUM (Service de Police de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal), Royal Orr forfeited his personal right to fair treatment when he criticized the slowness of the investigation into the arson of Alliance Québec\u2019s headquarters.That criticism, plus the fact that Mr Orr is the head of an English-rights organization, was sufficient for a campaign of leaks to the media which has blackened Mr Orr's reputation and probably irremediably compromised the ongoing investigation.This vicious trial by media reproduces the classic phenomenon of \u201cblaming the victim,\u201d a phenomenon that blacks or women\u2019s rights activists know only too well.Unless the real perpetrator of the crime is tried and convicted, Royal Orr will be the police- approved scapegoat for the whole sorry chapter in Quebec\u2019s history.Perhaps the most positive elements in an otherwise sombre picture were the expressions of support for Royal Orr from the Parti Québécois language critic, Claude Filion, the president of the CNTU, Gérald Larose (himself a one-time victim of the same tactics) and various other francophones who by no means share Alliance Québec\u2019s positions.It is reassuring to know that some things are beyond party and beyond language as a political issue.What a shame some parts of the police force don't seem to have understood.MP Berger, MNA French \u2018cannot be tolerated\u2019 Sir: David Berger, member of Parliament?For what good reason, if any?Richard French, member of the National Assembly?For what good reason, if any?THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER and other vehicles of the fourth estate, that so-called last line of defence for democracy?For what good reason, if any, do the media exist?These questions all deserve consideration in light of the forcible removal of a language community.They have for too long a time gone begging for a profound answer.A language community is being liquidated via racist and unconstitutional decrees; you, THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER, and your peers in the media have remained totally silent regarding those elected representatives who, by their silence, have betrayed that language community into virtual extinction.How do you reconcile yourself to the fact that a subsidized pipsqueak mercenary of a political party is permitted, without question by the media, to purport to represent and speak for that persecuted language community?All the while that this affront to a democratic system of government is being perpetuated, the elected and re-elected (by a politically illiterate and uncaring electorate) David Berger and Richard French remain totally in breach of faith to their sworn duties and responsibilities.These elected representatives have never spoken out loudly and clearly and constantly against the evils of a provincial government gone berserk with its nationalistic fervor.That these elected reps permit a situation to exist, where their constituents continue to be misled by vacillating architects of capitulation such as Alliance Quebec is something which must be declared unacceptable.At the very earliest moment, a movement I am an atheist still, thank God.\u2014Luis Brunuel of removal against David Berger and Richard French should be instituted.Their type of elected representative cannot be tolerated any longer.That is, of course, unless we wish to accept that we are not any longer Canadians but that we are tolerated second-class citizens of the State of Quebec.Reuven Carin 2036 Guertin street MONTREAL PQ H4L 4E4 \u2018Mass hysteria created\u2019 over threat to French Sir: It is my opinion that the language issue needs to be examined very carefully by all Canadians.It seems that there has been a mass hysteria created in Quebec regarding the fear of the loss of the French culture.Have not the Jewish people kept their culture with dedication over the years?They have not done this at the expense or disregard of the average citizen no matter where they lived.The French authorities in Quebec are denying the averagecitizen th :hance to learn English, the basic universai 1anguage.In the meantime, the official elite send their children to the best private schools where they will become articulate in speaking English.As well, it is unfortunate for the many immigrants who will be forced to live in Quebec under the present immigration laws and forced to learn French as a second language with no choice in the matter.Is this a sample of where our society is heading if we allow any more French nationalist authority to prevail?Whether the rights of people are collective orindividual in a society, it seems that as far as French culture is concerned, fear is overpowering wisdom in the official seat of Quebec.It is hoped by many that wisdom will be the major key to solving language problems in our society with the utmost respect and concern for the whole.Vona R.Mallory PO Box 100 BARRIE ON L4M 4Y5 6 - The Westmount Examiner,

increased but, to some small extent, reduced.This is no mean feat.The ship has not only stopped but has reversed engines after years of runaway increases.\u201d All is \u201cstill not perfect,\u201d however, he said, pressing again for a hiring freeze that would reduce the complement of city workers.Mr Benard was the first to speak during a brief question period following the special city council meeting Monday night for presentation of thebudget.The session was attended by 13 local residents.Donald Ross, president of the Westmount Municipal Association, also congratulated city council members.He then asked why no appropriation to the 1989 budget had been made from last year\u2019s surplus.Councillor Phillip Aspinall replied that surplus from 1987 had been appropriated to the 1988 budget to offset the effect of taxes \u201cbecause we were faced with such horrendous valuation increases.\u201d At the end of the 1988 fiscal year, however, more than $1 million from surplus had been used by council to write off loan by-laws, he recalled.Dr Rod Guthrie also called on city council to reduce the number of employees asking, \u201cThink how much could be saved by a hiring freeze.\u201d Both Mr Benard and citizen Peter Margo asked that further computer expenditure be curtailed, saying that some of the city\u2019s present software had yet to be put into service.Councillor Daniel Tingley told citizens the matter would come under \u201cvery close scrutiny\u201d Mayor May Cutlerechoed his assurance.BUDGET.Continued from page one instance, works out to be 6.6 percent higher than the net payout on last year\u2019s average assessment of $341,357 (after receipt of an $800 heritage payment).The new business tax rate, which is tied to the mill rate, has been set at 6.93 percent on assessed rental values (versus 8.58 last year).Property tax bills are being sent out this week and will be payable in two installments due March 1 and July 1.Business tax is due March 31.The city\u2019s three-year capital expenditures budget also was presented Monday night, projecting $6.6 million in spending for 1989 (see separate story).A breakdown of the 1989 budget shows the city\u2019s share of MUC costs ($15.3 million) gobbles up 37.5 percent of the entire budget.These costs are up 4.4 percent over last year.Water costs more The purchase of water from Montreal, another uncontrollable cost, is up 10.3 percent from last year at $1.7 million.The budget\u2019s remaining $23.8 million goes for maintaining the local operation, a decrease of 2.7 percent (see separate story).The new budget of $40,789,600 compares with last year\u2019s budget of $40,666,900, exclusive of the heritage payment program which added an additional $2,900,000 to the 1988 budget.About 82 percent of this was actually reclaimed by property owners.This year's budget contains no appropriation from the previous year\u2019s surplus as in recent years to swell revenues and lessen the amount of required property tax.Such was not deemed necessary this year owing to increased revenues, Mr Aspinall explained.One such increase comes from the city's electric utility which is projected to provide a net profit to the municipal operating fund of $1,071,700 (some $800,000 over last year).The budget was prepared, Mr As- Public Security Fire and Civil Protection ROAD TRANRIFORT

announced Monday night.The freeze was chosen by city Overdue taxes will be charged at same 15% The city\u2019s interest rate for overdue tax bills and other accounts (excluding electricity bills) will remain at 15 percent per annum for 1989, city council agreed Monday night.Late tax bills will bear an additional penalty too.If the first installment is not paid March 1 this year, the second allment will immediately become due and also subject to interest.This year\u2019s tax bills are being mailed out this week, a month later than usual because of the delay in presenting the budget.council as being more beneficial to the majority of homeowners than amortizing the difference between 1988-1989 valuations over the next three years.The option was council's under Bill 90 which came into force Dec 23.The big effect of the bill was to permit cities to amortize the increase or decrease in valuations, explains city treasurer Daniel Décarie.\u201cWe chose not to because any benefit to single-family dwellings would have been lost by the benefit to multi-dwellings and businesses.\u201d The only two cities Mr Décarie knows to be using the averaging option are Montreal and Outremont.This year the average increase in valuation for single-family dwellings of 14.9 percent is not considered by Mr Décarie to be \u201cthat drastic a jump.\u201d Last year\u2019s average was 50 percent.The 1989 valuation freeze is subject to change under certain conditions, he explains.These include decreases in the case of fire, for instance, or increase if improved by renovation.Available

The Westmount Examiner, Capital expenditures budgeted: City plans to replace or rebuild vehicles, streets, tennis courts Funds have been allocated this year for the replacement of PCB transformers, repairs to city buildings, upgrading of Westmount Park and replacement of adult tennis courts.The city also plans to replace 17 vehicles and reconstruct Westmount avenue, Devon avenue, and portions of Belvedere, Olivier and Clare- mont.These are among the projects earmarked for 1989 in a $6.6 million capital expenditures program tabled Monday night by city council along with deposit of the city\u2019s operating budget.Some of the capital expenditures would be financed through long- term loans, some from the working fund and others from funds generated by cadastral operations.Although money has been budgeted for these projects, all would be reviewed and studied again before receiving approval by city council, explained finance commissioner Phillip Aspinall, who presented the plan.One such item, in particular, is an amount of $303,700 to enhance the city\u2019s data processing system.\u201cWe are going to take a hard look at this in coming weeks,\u2019 Mayor May Cutler assured citizens who raised concerns about the city\u2019s computer operation.Councillor Daniel Tingley said it would come under \u201cvery close scrutiny.\u201d Although capital expenditures budgeted for the years 1990 and 1991 were not detailed, their total pro- s = By LAUREEN SWEENEY posed costs were tabled at $8 million and $2.7 million respectively.Among those proposed for 1989 at a total cost of $6,602,200 are: ¢ Repairs to administration buildings, $290,000; * Road and sidewalk reconstruction, $1,073,000; Thursday, January 26, 1989 - 7 e Street lighting, $800,000; Traffic lights for The Boulevard at Belmont and at Renfrew, $190,000; * Renovation of arena offices, $75,000; * Repairs to arena heating, $75,000; * Replacement of 17 vehicles, $763,000; e Electric $2,195,000; utility upgrading, Money to run Westmount goes mainly to employees SALARIES and benefits will take the lion's share of the cost of running Westmount\u2019s own operation in 1989.A sum of $14.2 million has been set aside for workers in 1989.That\u2019s 59.5 percent of local municipal expenditures, excluding payments to MUC for regional services and to Montreal for water.Although employee costs continue to rise, this year by 3.1 percent, the city has budgeted less for its own operation.This year\u2019s $40.8 million budget, approved Monday, designates $23,827,600 to run city hall, pick up the garbage, clear the snow, operate the library, clean the streets, put out fires, etc.Here\u2019s where it goes (last year\u2019s cost and percentage change in parentheses): Salaries and benefits,

painted Monday night in presenting the city's budget for 1989.Mr Aspinall said 68 percent of single family dwelling owners have \u201cno increase or may even have a decrease\u201d in their 1989 tax bill, 18 percent of owners face a 2.9 percent increase, 11 percent face a 7.0 percent increase, and only three percent have an increase of more than 7.0 percent.These figures are correct based on the actual tax bills residents will be receiving.But in 1988, all homeowners were eligible to receive heritage payments of between $400 and $800.These were effectively tax rebates.In 1989, there are no such rebates and Mr Aspinall\u2019s calculations ignore this.A clearer picture In an EXAMINER sample of real estate tax bills for all types of properties ranging from single-family homes to apartment and commercial buildings (see accompanying table), a clearer picture of what people will be paying is revealed.(On Sept 22, 1988, THE EXAMINER provided the 1987, 1988 and 1989 valuations for the same list of properties.) A comparison of the 1989 tax bills of the properties listed in the sample with their gross 1988 bills \u2014 i.e.before taking into consideration last year's tax rebates \u2014 shows 51 of the 72 had reductions and 21 had increases.When the heritage payments are considered, the numbers are different.Comparing the 1989 bills with the net 1988 bills reveals only 12 of the properties have reductions while 60 have increases.And more than half of these increases are greater than 10 percent.The owner of 124 Clandeboye, for example, will receive a 1989 tax bill 6.10 percent below his 1988 bill.When the $600 heritage payment is considered, his 1989 bill is actually 9.57 percent higher than last year\u2019s.The duplex at 3101-03 St Antoine street appears on the surface to have a tax bill increase of only 1.04 percent.When that property's $400 heritage payment is considered, the bill is actually 91.54 percent higher.The tax bills of large buildings and some of the more expensive houses are affected less by the influence of the heritage payments.A few of the largest tax bill increases, such as that of 119-21 Irvine, are the result of the property owner refusing the board of revision's 1988 decision.When this happened, the 1989 increase was added to the original 1988 valuation.For next three years Westmount real estate consultant Andy Dodge says local property owners should think about their 1989 valuations now because they'll be stuck with them for the next three tax years because of Bill 90.The provincial board of revisions has set April 30, 1989 as the deadline for property owners to file a protest claim about their 1989 valuations.If no claim is filed by that date, the board assumes the 1989 valuation has been accepted for the next three years.Owners should file a claim on their 1989 valuation even if no decision has yet been reached on last year's claim.Mr Dodge said council\u2019s statement about the tax bill reductions might hurt.\u201cI think council is going to mollify some people too much at a time when they should be taking a serious look at their valuations,\u201d he said.Residents with hefty increases will no doubt be dismayed to sce Westmount Square has a 1989 tax bill almost 20 percent less than its bill of two years ago.The bill has dropped from $1,254,600 in 1987 to $1,008,165 appeals.1987 Single-family homes: tax 70 Bruce 3292 124 Clandeboye 2276

J.Anthony Boeckh thinks about the future could change your whole life.The economic forecaster says that arecession will hit North America in 1989, probably in the second half of the year although the exact timing is \u201cshrouded in uncertainty.\u201d \u201cA terrible deflationary shock has been building up for more than 40 years,\u201d Mr Boeckh says, caused by massive government intervention since the Second.World War which has produced record levels of debt and illiquidity in North America.How bad is it going to be?\u201cEverybody would like to know the answer, but forecasts are only probability distributions.Before you go into a recession it\u2019s impossible to know the extent of the rot in the system.If you go back to the 1970s, nobody was talking then about oil at $10 a barrel.\u201d The probability right now is one in five that the coming downturn will be worse than the 1981-82 recession, Mr Boeckh says, producing a full- blown debt crisis and a shakeout in the business community that would see only the stronger corporations survive.On a less alarming note, Mr Boeckh says the 80 percent probability is that North America will squeak through yet another deflationary cycle without \u201cextreme financial and economic distress.\u201d With the watchful air of a doctor whose patient is suffering from an excruciating, long-drawn-out malaise, Mr Boeckh says that \u201cmost countries around the world are going through the late stages of a credit squeeze.Higher interest rates have begun to bite but they haven't done the job yet.It could be a long and slow process or it could be as sudden and as fast as the stock market crash of October 1987.\u201d Westmount resident Mr Boeckh is editor-in-chief and publisher of the venerable monthly, the Bank Credit Analyst, flagship of a tiny fleet of financial forecasting services produced by his firm, BCA Publications.Housed in an immaculately restored pair of Victorian mansions in By CARA MACNAUGHTON Montreal's Golden Square Mile, BCA Publications also brings out the International Bank Credit Analyst, a monthly that examines market conditions in Europe, North America and Asia; the Interest Rate Forecast, a monthly analysis of bond and money market trends; and the annual Outlook at the beginning of each year, which Mr Boeckh writes himself.Look scholarly Allhave the look of scholarly journals, crammed with sober text and elaborate charts and graphs.The editor-in-chief has a PhD from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and served a four-year term directing monetary research and economic analysis with the Bank of Canada.His editorial team includes three economists with graduate degrees from Canadian and Scottish universities.Although their names are not household words, the editors of BCA Publications run one of the world\u2019s most respected English-language forecasting services, with 80 percent of sales going to the U.S.and the remainder evenly divided between.Canada and the rest of the globe.Annual subscriptions to each publication range from $545 to $565 U.S.Get your ear to the ground, though, and you'll notice that the Bank Credit Analyst and its editors generate a steady buzz.Bankers and brokers use the BCA forecasts as a bellwether.On the night of the stock market crash in October 1987, the CBC produced two financial experts on the national news to tell numbed Canadians whether the world was headed down the drain.One of the two was Tony Boeckh.\u201cMy clients \u2014 bond fund managers \u2014 pay a lot of attention to the Bank Credit Analyst,\u201d says a veteran Montreal institutional bond dealer.His subscribers are a nervous lot who telephone BCA Publications frequently, Mr Boeckh says, in spite of the fact that the majority are professional money managers.From all over the world, the calls come in.\u201cThey say they're having a meeting at 11 am, they've got tomake a decision, what's our view, has it changed,\u201d Mr Boeckh says.The switchboard really lights up when a postal delay coincides with alarming market conditions.\u201cThe phone goes nuts.We can get 300 calls.We've got something in the house that we jokingly call the \u2018telephone indicator\u2019 The more phone calls we get, the closer we are to a market bottom.It's a panic indicator.\u201d A Canadian whose ancestors came from Alsace by way of New York City, Mr Boeckh says it's \u201conly an accident that we're here in Montreal.We could operate anywhere.In the 1970s I moved everything to London, England for a year.\u201d He likes the U.S.and its \u201cfreewheeling financial system\u201d and thinks free trade will be good for Canada.\u201cBut Canadians are apprehensive, because free trade means they've got to go back to work.There won't be any more free lunch.\u201d With a staff of 17 and a thriving circulation, BCA Publications was threatening to overflow its original three-storey house on Peel street until last year, when Mr Boeckh bought an identical property next door that was also built in the 1880s.Restored both Architect Ken London restored both mansions to pristine condition and joined the two buildings by piercing several doors through the mitoyenne wall.Superb original plaster cornices, elegant Victorian carved woodwork and heavy centu- ry-old interior shutters still adorn most of the rooms that now serve as offices.Mr Boeckh collects art.A large semi-abstract landscape by West- mount artist Desmond Senior hangs in the editorial conference room, which occupies a former drawing room on the second floor.There's no name on the street door, and nothing at first glance to suggest that the building is not a residence.Keep Your Money Close To Home K ceping your money close to home is only one of the ways we make

we're very wired up,\u201d says Mr Boeckh, who has a DEC mini-computer in the basement with terminals and desktop plotters scattered throughout the buildings, as well as several PCs and an Olivetti word-processing system with a laser printer that\u2019s used to set type for the forecasting publications.Three research assistants prepare the dozens of detailed proprietary charts that are a hallmark of the BCA forecasting service.À single issue can contain 30 to 60 charts, many created with desktop plotters, but others laboriously inked in by hand on a drafting table.Related streams The charts display raw financial data plotted on curves, just as one might expect.The BCA editors are fond of relating two streams of data and plotting the resulting ratio.This produces some charts with arcane titles like \u201cFrance-U.S.inflation-ad- justed bond yield differential\u201d and \u201cS&P 400 dividend yield divided by three-month treasury bill rate.\u201d The latter ratio is currently telling an experienced eye that \u201cequity prices will fall unless interest rates decline quickly or dividends rise dramatically,\u201d according to the ac- Photo by VALERIE TETLEY companying text.But what\u2019s really going to happen?Will stock prices go up?Or interest rates or dividend yields or consumer debt or money supply or Japanese yen or South African golds or any of the hundreds of streams of financial data tracked by the Bank Credit Analyst?Or will they go down?Mr Boeckh laughs.He says that people who look for simple answers \u201care misusing our publications.They're imputing a false degree of accuracy to forecasting.\u201cThe more I do it, the more I know that perfect forecasting can't be done.If we could be accurate 100 percent of the time, we wouldn't need to publish the Bank Credit Analyst \u2014 we'd just manage our own accounts.\u201d To subscribers, the BCA editors are suggesting the place to be right now is in long-term bonds and NIC currencies.\u2018\u2018Bonds are as undervalued as they have ever been at any time since World War IL\u201d Mr Boeckh says.And NIC currencies, which are the currencies of newly industrialized countries like Korea and Malaysia, offer less risk than Japanese yen.There\u2019s only one thing he can predict with certainty, Mr Boeckh say \u201cThe more difficulties there are INR, the economy, the more demand there will be for forecasting services.\u201d John A.Archer ANNUITIES & R.R.LF.s ANNUITIES & R.R.LF.s A G.H.ARCHER 1827 BAILE BROKERS FOR FREE BOOKLET ON 1989 EDITION ASSOCIÉS LIMITÉE

meet city officials; maintenance law discussed Westmount tenants may have the benefit of a maintenance by-law by the summer, THE EXAMINER learned this week.The city has begun work drafting legislation regulating such areas as apartment building security and upkeep.Notice of motion of the by-law may be given as early as March or April.The by-law and a Victoria Hall tenants\u2019 fair were two items on the agenda last week at a closed meeting between city officials and the Committee of Westmount Tenants\u2019 Associations (CWTA).The new by-law will be based on tenance regulations in the Céte uc building code and zoning bylaw.Westmount director of services Bruno Di Lenardo said elements of each will be extracted and put into a by-law amending Westmount's building code.The by-law will stipulate, among other things, that landlords must keep entrance doors to all apartment buildings locked, maintain mailboxes in proper working order, make repairs within a reasonable amount of time and provide a laundry room in every building.The latter requirement will be Broken pipe causes office flood A broken pipe caused water to flood from the sixth floor to the ground level of the office building at 4150 St Catherine street Sunday, fire officials said.Damage was reported to ceiling tiles and carpets of offices on four storeys as the water found its way down to the lobby by electrical conduits and vent ducts.The flood was discovered about 11:45 am when water activated an alarm, bringing out police, firemen and public safety officers.The course was traced to a burst 3/4-inch pipe in the wall of a washroom.made since Westmount\u2019s zoning prohibits public laundromats.Mr Di Lenardo said a draft will be written up shortly and presented to committee of council next month.The city will then meet with the tenants\u2019 group again to go over it.After refinements are made, notice of motion to adopt the by-law might be given at the March or April coun- By CHARLES MAPPIN cil meeting.The by-law could be passed at the subsequent meeting.CWTA chairman Christiane van Renesse said her group is \u201cvery pleased\u201d the city is moving in this direction.Mrs van Renesse has been pushing for such a by-law for several years.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 26, 1989 - 13 The idea for the tenants\u2019 fair has stemmed from a request by the rental board for the CWTA to show that it really represents local residents before the board will provide a liaison to the group, Mrs van Renesse said.A number of booths will be set up in Victoria Hall where tenants wili be able to get a range of information and advice from various groups including the rental board, the fire department and the public security unit.There will also be an opportunity for tenants to voice their problems and concerns.The fair is planned for late May or early June.The CWTA meets with city officials again next month.Let Dynamic Partners Fund give you an investment Edge with: © No

MacDonald felt comfortable linking the language debate to an attack against women.\u201cHidden in the words \u2018les grosses maudites Anglaises\u2019 is a certain drab vision of women.\u201d She says it\u2019s unconscionable that \u201cthe most vulnerable\u201d in our society, in this case a group of women, mostly part-time workers with few institutional defences, get targeted.\u201cThese women live poor and die poor.They build up very littleequity in their pensions.\u201d She says that it is \u201cdistressing\u201d that male politicians feel that they can continue to talk about women \u201clike that,\u201d but shrugs and says, \u201cIt\u2019s rare when people in power are reflective.\u201d After Mr MacDonald's statement appeared in La Presse and then in The Gazette, Ms Nemiroff and Anne Usher, president of the Canadian Council of Social Development, quickly assembled a group of women to form \u201cLes Grosses Maudites Anglaises.\u201d The group held a press conference to condemn Mr MacDonald's remark as \u201csexist, racist and prejudicial,\u201d as well as being untrue.Ms Nemiroff sees the remark as harassment of \u201cfront-line workers in the service industry\u2019 The subsequent layoff of 900 Simpson's workers, 600 of them part-timers, attests to the fragility of this sector, in her opinion.Entwined ~The language issue and feminist issues are entwined for Ms Nemiroff.The concern of her group is not language per se, but how language is used as a barrier to the other rights and privileges of our society.She believes that many issues that relate to women also touch on language and language training.She points to the example of a CLSC in Montreal North whose clientéle is almost exclusively Spanish-speaking.The CLSC asked permission to provide pre-natal instruction in Spanish.The request was denied by the Quebec government.She stresses that language courses must be made available to women \u201cin a realistic way.\u201d The immigrant woman, for instance, needs language training coupled with day care in order to prepare for assimilation into Quebec society.\u201cThe language issue is very \u2018nuance',\u201d says Ms Nemiroff, explaining that the debate is not black and white, not sharply defined.\u201cThe issue is being polarized by the media.\u201d One of the goals of her group is to Greta Nemiroff open a dialogue with francophone women\u2019s groups in order to address women's issues together and prevent those issues from getting lost when society talks about language.She's annoyed that the \u201cself-identified English groups like Alliance Québec\u201d are only sensitive to attacks on the language and not to attacks on women, class or age.\u201cThis is the level that the language debate has taken, defenceless women are put in a terrible position.It\u2019s yet another example of the negligi- bility of women's issues.Some in the French press have said that the \u2018grosses maudites Anglaises\u2019 state- Greta Nemiroff s new group: ment was only meant to be symbolic.Yes, perhaps it was symbolic, but when it\u2019s you that is the symbol, it\u2019s different.You don\u2019t live as a symbol, \u2018you live as a person.And to suddenly have yourself targeted in this way is very prejudicial.\u201d La Fédération des Femmes du Québec, an association of women\u2019s groups with 55,000 members across the province, has supported Les Grosses Maudites Anglaises\u2019 demand for an apology from Mr Mac- Donald, but with a proviso.\u201cOn ne touche pas la question de la langue,\u201d they said.That doesn't upset Ms Nemiroff because, for her group, the feminist issue is the most important.\u201cI don't think any of us are in this primarily because of the language issue.Outrageous law \u201cSure Bill 178 is an outrageous law.Sure the notwithstanding clause is outrageous.But what's more outrageous is that it got through Parliament, that it got into the Constitution.The notwithstanding clause has been used four or five times in Quebec and each time it's been prejudicial.That's outrageous.\u201d Ms Nemiroff feels the language debate will eventually settle down.Her personal view is that the real debate should not be over the survival of French culture, but whether Quebec will survive as a pluralistic society.\u201cWill those Vietnamese kids that I hear speaking flawless French on the Dear Sir/Madam:

of Marian- opolis had given me a while ago.The author, Ronald Gross, titled his book The Lifelong Learner, and many of the things he talks about touch a chord in me.Mr Gross quotes a businessman of his acquaintance who said, \u201cUntil I out loud what I feel and think MD rantasise about, I really don\u2019t know who I am or who lives in me.\u201d So he started a journal, not only to focus on books he read and on ideas, but as a personal effort to explore his emotional \u201cinner space.\u201d I like that.It reminds me a bit of the diary I kept as a young girl.I lost that diary long ago, and I never got back into the habit, but I still recall the pleasure it gave me, the utter sense of privacy I felt that was so important to me in my growing up.The questions I didn\u2019t dare ask anyone were revealed in my diary and, somehow, just recording them seemed to help, to make some sense out of things, as it were.I'm hoping that my learner\u2019s log will give me some of that feeling.I do realize that I ask lot of questions of myself these days.But they flit in and out of my consciousness and don't really get resolved.Perhaps writing them down will help sort things out.Certainly the questions will be more clearly defined.I did anticipate a \u201cshaking up\u201d in NOVA Services From The Heart SENIORS / ELDERLY We Take Care Of Your Needs, Everything From Nursing Care To = Home Making.æ od a 466-9785 44% 4 Donna Girard # ; 4?4 The Best Age i DOROTHY SIROTA the moving process.One can\u2019t make the major change of moving from Westmount to Cornwall without some psychological, emotional, social upheaval.And the dust hasn't settled.But I don't really want to be settled till I resolve some of the questions I've been asking myself.A little planning and organization should help.Even making a list (always one of my favorite activities) of the things that I'm curious about, of the changes and the consequences, might enlighten me about my new environment, my expectations and the things I should be doing.A Zen proverb, which Mr Gross quotes, states \u201cThe way of the masters was to find their own way.\u201d So I'm looking at my log as a tool to learning, not onl, about me and my new life, but about new things I'd like to explore.Mr Gross talks of a \u201csecond education.\u201d Somehow, I feel that learning is really a continuous process for seniors, as for all ages, if we choose to make it so.Ralph Waldo Emerson said, \u201cThere is a time in every man\u2019s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide.the power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.\u201d Still an exciting idea, isn\u2019t it?The Lifelong Learner by Ronald Gross was published by Simon and Schuster of New York.No-nuke benefit The Health Professionals for Nuclear Responsibility will hold a benefit concert at the Westhill auditorium, 5851 Somerled avenue.The Yellow Door Tabernacle Choir will perform.The concert will take place on Saturday, Jan 28, starting at 8 pm.Price for admission is $10 for adults, $5

on tall buildings downtown because the structures resemble the cliffs where they nest in the wild.She explained how peregrine falcons, which are native to Quebec, found themselves on the endangered species list when they began to suffer from reproductive failure in the 1950s.It wasn't until the 1970s that the source of the problem was discovered.Peregrines were consuming large amounts of the now-banned pesticide DDT in their food.The toxic substance thinned the shells of the eggs they laid.The shells broke when the adults sat on them to incubate them.By CHARLES MAPPIN The centre is trying to build up the local population of peregrines by breeding them and releasing them into the wild at a young age.Ms Henderson said the goal is to estab- list a wild population of at least 20 breeding pairs in southern Quebec.Last summer, the centre released 19 of the birds in the province, she said.Falconry, hunting with falcons, is against the law in Quebec, but is still permitted in Ontario and some states in the U.S.Little big owl Next on the agenda at the Rotary meeting was Hercules.To the layman, Hercules looks like a baby owl.But weighing in at 100 grams, Hercules is a full-grown adult saw-whet owl.The species is so named because its cry is like the sound made when filing a saw.Hercules is one of the handicapped raptors in care at the centre.The right side of his body is paralyzed, believed to be the result of nerve damage suffered when he flew into a window.Hercules has a voracious appetite.He chows down two 50-gram mice a day.When he\u2019s not particularly hungry, he apparently eats only the heads.Another saw-whet \u2014 named Pee Wee and who could pass for Hercules\u2019 twin \u2014 was brought to the centre last summer by a Westmount resident after being attacked by a cat.Other species of raptors at the centre include golden eagles, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, gyrfalcons, kestrels, red- shouldered hawks, rough-legged hawks, great horned owls, snowy owls and screech owls.While raptors\u2019 sense of hearing is less developed than humans\u2019, their sight is far superior, Ms Henderson said.An eagle flying above the trees can spot a rabbit hopping along two miles away! police said.Two purses snatched from women on de Maisonneuve TWO WOMEN had purses snatched from them on Westmount streets over the weekend, police report.Neither was reported injured.The first theft occurred at knifepoint Friday at 10:45 pm when the victim, a Westmount woman, was held up by a youth at de Maison- neuve boulevard and Greene avenue.The robber made off with her purse.He had asked for the wallet but the woman became too nervous to find it.She lost personal papers and $12 in cash.The suspect, who was accompanied by three other persons, was described as a black boy aged about 15, wearing a beige jacket and black cap.The woman, 37, lives on de Maisonneuve.The second incident took place Sunday afternoon in front of 4000 de Maisonneuve when a woman was pushed off balance from behind, The robber, a white man aged about 22, grabbed her purseand ran north on Atwater avenue.He wore a beige jacket, black jeans and black gloves.The victim was a 23-year-old resident of St Henri.Anyone interested in having a tour of the Macdonald Raptor Research Centre can call 398-7930 to make arrangements.In the summer months, the centre is open to visitors every Sunday between 1 pm and 4 pm.People often have trouble finding it, Ms Henderson said.Here's how to get there: take highway 40 to exit 41.Follow the sign for \u201cChemin Ste- Marie est.\u201d Drive up the hill to the first stop sign.Turn right.Heading south now, take the overpass over highway 40 to the next stop sign.Turn left and go over highway 20.The centre is on the left.8.UNITY.Continued from page one months to get the community centre.\u201cWe envision covering the basic running costs of the building by renting out space to tenants whose activities cater to children and youth.On top of that we hope there will be lots of programs initiated by people in the community,\u201d Mrs Russell said.\u201cThese should cater to a whole range of interests out there.\u201d Possible core users include a daycare centre, a preschool and a theatre group.There would also be space available for rental on a short-term basis for such groups as dance classes or anyone in need of a meeting place.The \u201cother considerations\u201d in the sale price which Rotary will be responsible for are all outstanding bills and obligations of the Unity Club.These include utility bills, transfer tax on the sale and severance pay for club director Shaun Lynch.The total is expected to be between $15,000 and $20,000, Mr Griffin said.Unity board treasurer Andrew Dalgleish said the decision to accept Rotary\u2019s offer was not forced by mounting bills.\u201cIt was a decision reached through discussion with the city, with Rotary and with the residents,\u201d Mr Dalgleish said.Unity has run into problems in recent years due to a decline in the population it serves.The problems culminated last April when Cen- traide withdrew its annual $100,000 funding of the club\u2019s activities.Unity then put out an appeal to the community in an attempt to find new funding.Discussions were held with the City of Westmount last summer about the possibility of the club\u2019s leasing space to the city\u2019s public security unit.The PSU must soon vacate its Hillside avenue premises to make way for a government nursing home.In September the Unity board put the club building up for sale, claiming talks with the city were going nowhere.Discussion was held with a couple of potential buyers, one a developer who planned to raze the building and replace it with a row of houses.Word quickly spread through the neighborhood and local residents held a series of meetings.It soon became apparent the residents cared about keeping the facility.As many as 60 people attended one meeting.The residents presented the Unity board with a proposal in November detailing how the building expenses could be covered by leasing out space to community groups.The proposal lists the annual cost of running the building at about $48,000.\u201cUntil the group of residents came to us, there was a virtual absence of interest from the community,\u201d Mr Dalgleish said.\u201cWe had no other avenue to explore except the sale of the building.\u201d Initially, the board paid little attention to the residents and continued working towards a sale.Mr Dalgleish said the board had \u201ca brief flicker imagining a large pot of money\u201d could result from the sale and be used to fund programs elsewhere.This idea was soon quashed.\u201cThe city made it abundantly clear to us it would do its utmost to impede any efforts to sell the building as long as there was an interest among residents for a community centre,\u201d Mr Dalgleish explained.Friday offer The Unity board had resumed discussions with the residents\u2019 group when Rotary made the offer last Friday.It was accepted in writing Monday.Unity board president Dennice Leahey said she and the other board members still want to pursue what they see as their mission: to help disadvantaged youth.Mrs Leahey said the board is looking at setting up Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club programs in other nearby communities.At its meeting Monday evening, Westmount city council passed a resolution to give the Unity club $4,900 to cover its outstanding 1988 property tax bill.\u201cThis is not a precedent we are setting which will cost the city money in the future,\u201d councillor Peter Duffield said.\u201cThis is a one-shot deal to help with the transition of the building.\u201cWe decided to do this in view of the problems the club has had over the last year because it had no income.\u201d If you are healthy and between age 18 and 65, remember to give the gift of life.Be a Red Cross blood donor.178.Continued from page one assure the protection of persons and property.While the council does not necessarily espouse the aims or objectives of the groups to whom it rents city property, it does believe in the fundamental freedoms of speech and association.\u201d Mrs Cutler said council was \u2018\u2018concerned\u201d by the number of people who attended the previous meeting and the security required.\u201cIf we had to provide extra security on a regular basis, we would consider charging as we do when a film is being made in Westmount,\u201d Mrs Cutler said.\u201cVictoria Hall is a losing proposition as it is.\u201d The city had to foot the bill of providing its own public security unit at the Jan 8 meeting.The rest of the security was provided by the MUC police.Rhéaume will be there?Concern over a second meeting stemmed partly from threats by Parti Indépendantiste leader Gilles Rhéaume that he'll attend and try to disrupt the proceedings.Committee 178 is made up of Mr Nowell and eight other family members and friends.The attention the group has received has snowballed since the first meeting.Mr Nowell is in the process of having Committee 178 incorporated as a non-profit organization.He said several thousand dollars have been donated to date.The money will cover such costs as holding meetings, printing flyers and making buttons.At a future date, buses may be rented to bring a group to protest in Ottawa.A separate fund is also being established to help storeowners whose shops have been vandalized or who face legal proceedings for defying Bill 178.Some 2,500 people have given their support to Committee 178 through donations and suggestions, Mr No- well said.Shelter skelter A window was found broken in the bus shelter at Sherbrooke street and Mount Pleasant avenue Wednesday last week, police report.Damage, estimated at about $500, was discovered at 5 am.Scared off A burglar was scared away from a house on Hallowell street

reported hurt.Her husband, also 51, sustained a cut on the upper lip and a red right cheek.His assailant was described as a black man aged about 20 having short hair and appearing well dressed.He wore

at Victoria Hall A lecture/workshop by the English philosopher Douglas Harding will be given at Victoria Hall, Monday, Jan 30, at 7:30 pm.A $5 donation is suggested.Born in 1909 in Lowestoft, England, Mr Harding has practised architecture in London, India and his native Suffolk.His real and life-long concern has been to develop a credible, intellectually honest and practical faith.He has written much on the subject, taught comparative religion and philosophy, and currently lectures and conducts workshops in Europe and North America on \u201cseeing who we really are.\u201d The purpose of Mr Harding's workshop is to provide participants with some effective though remarkably simple tools for answering the question, \u201cWho am I?\u201d These tools have a Zen-like direct- \u2018ness and immediacy, but they do not belong to any one religious approach.Their directness is based on the Western scientific method of experimentation and respect for observable fact.Insights gained can be used to elucidate the study of religion, psychology and personal transformation with implications for the issues of identity, nuclear confrontation and death.The experiments explore scientifically the question, \u201cWho am I?\u201d The answers are both unconventional and surprising.Mr Harding, the author of The little book of life and death and On having no head, has been conducting workshops in Europe and North America for many years.He has worked with Alan Watts and Eric Berne.He has contributed to Zen in the West and has lectured for Cambridge University.Mr Harding is starting his tour of North America and the Far East in Montreal.For further information, call Harold Jacobson at 483-4281.Book review at the Shaar For all those interested in the different views of Israel's political and

HUGESSEN Roslyn School parents have some strong reservations about the whole- language approach now being used in Quebec schools for teaching English (see story Jan 12).About 75 parents attended a meeting, Wednesday evening last week, organized by members of the Roslyn school committee.Grant Brown, a CEGEP professor and former academic dean at Dawson College, acted as moderator for a panel presentation and question-and-answer period.The panel of two English language s consultants from the PSBGM, ee et Johnston and Charlotte son, and a whole-language teacher from Weston School, Myma Guy, began the evening describing the program.Following their remarks, about 20 parents put questions to the speakers.The principal concerns shown were: Does the program work?Does the program work in the French immersion system?Why is there not some structure \u2014 correction of er- TOTS, spelling, punctuation, grammar?Why were parents not involved in consultations before the program was implemented?The evening's first speaker was Ms Johnston, herself a Roslyn graduate.\u201cChange in school communities is very, very hard to implement,\u201d she said.\u201cTeachers become comfortable with astyle, and parents expect their children to do roughly what they did.\u201d But, she said, many Canadian children went through the system and came out the otherend illiterate.The whôle-language approach has been developed based on 20 years of research into how children learn.Reading from the ministry of education guidelines she quoted, \u201cThe search for meaning is the core of language use.\u201d The whole-language approach will \u201cfoster engagement in language interactions that are meaningful from the student's viewpoint.\u201d Pilot program Before the program was implemented board-wide, said Ms Johnston, there was a pilot at each grade level, workshops for teachers, school visits by consultants, articles made available to the teachers.Meetings with and recommendations from the pilot teachers were used in planning the full implementation.Speaking second, Ms Colson emphasized the research that had preceded development of the program.\u201cLongitudinal studies show that children know the importance of language,\u2019 she said.\u201cChildren learn when they're interested and when they're actively involved in their learning.\u201d She added, \u2018It takes time and patience and, I suppose, a touch of faith.\u201d Whole-language teacher Ms Guy entranced the assembly with her tales of children in the classroom.She had brought samples of their work: journals, letters, even books they had \u201cpublished.\u201d Obviously enthusiastic about her work and the achievements of her students, she described the day-to-day applications of the whole-language theory.There is no reader or reading list which the students must work their way through by year\u2019s end.The students are encouraged to choose books and write reports.Not all students do similar things.\u201cYou don't all read the same books,\u201d Ms Guy said, \u201cand when you've finished one, you don\u2019t have to answer 10 questions to see if you understood.\u201d For parents concerned over the apparent lack of correction of grammatical or punctuation errors, Ms Guy said, \u201cThey're not writing for marks at the draft stage.I don\u2019t look for the spelling errors or grammatical errors, I want them to express.I do teach spelling, grammar, punctuation.just not at that stage.\u201d She closed by saying, \u201cI think if I had to go back to the old system, I would resign, I feel so strongly about this.\u201d Questions Parents then put their questions to the panel members.A number of parents were concerned that children in French immersion are being taught French using the \u201ctraditional\u201d system.In Grade 3, English is suddenly thrown at them, and with a different teaching system.Further, the whole-lan- guage approach seems very demanding of time \u2014 time that simply may not be available to French-immer- sion students.As one parent put it, \u201cI'm not The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 26, 1989 - 25 Panelists at the whole-language meeting held at Roslyn School, from left, Charlotte Colson, Elizabeth Johnston, Grant Brown and Myrna Guy.saying the program isn't feasible, but is it feasible in a French immersion school?\u201d In response, Ms Johnston showed samples of work by a child who had been in just that situation.Over the course of one month, her written work had changed from an illegible (to anyone but the child) melange of (mostly) French and something resembling English, to work, albeit imperfect, in readable English.Other parents asked that the system not be applied to the exclusion of all others.\u201cIf errors are allowed to stand without being corrected,\u201d said one father, \u201cthey become fixed in the minds of children.Children learn in different ways, the teachers should use different methods.\u201d Another parent said, \u201cWe cannot proclaim one particular approach to teaching \u2014 only the eclectic approach is acceptable.\u201d Some good Not all the parents\u2019 comments were

says it takes him about half an hour to get in to work each day.\u201cI used to live in St Damien de Brandon,\u201d he says, sipping a coffee in Miss Westmount.\u201cThat's 150 miles round trip.I did that every day for eight years.I stopped eight years ago \u2014 I got fed up \u2014 I was burning out too many cars.\u201d He says he remembers once driving the 75 miles into town only to find the store closed, no one around.He says he couldn't figure it out.Turns out it was a Sunday.Mr Bélanger works five days a week, Monday through Friday, eight hours a day.He says he doesn\u2019t mind the weather in winter, that going in and out all the time doesn\u2019t cause him problems.\u201cSummer's harder because of the air conditioning inside,\u201d he says.\u2018\u2019That\u2019s bad for the sinuses.\u201d Good points and bad His favorite part of the job, he says, is meeting all the people.Some customers are \u2018looking for problems, looking for trouble.they complain,\u201d he says.But
