The Westmount examiner, 23 novembre 1989, jeudi 23 novembre 1989

[" BUT WHO ARE THEY REALLY?: From the front, these five-year-old Beavers seem to be pretty typical participants in Saturday's annual Boy Scout Skate-a- thon.That's Aiden Macdonald, on the left, beside Sebastian Snow and a very happy Hum Lewis-Van Wyck.But turn them around, and the boys become Westmount solons equally anxious to support the fundraising event.From the back, they are two councillors and a mayor, labelled as: Alderman Sally Altken, left, Alderman Joan Rothman and Mayor May Cutler.The legislators delegated their skating responsibilities, and pledges, to the kids.For details see page 42.Photo by LAUREEN SWEENEY Vol.LXI, No.47 contract with security force: Making all of Westmount your home Westmount, Quebec, Thursday, November 23, 198 what they earned nine years ago By LAUREEN SWEENEY Westmount public safety officers have won a minimum salary increase of 21 percent over three years, boosting their pay to almost $40,000 by 1991.The upgrading of salaries gives a first class security man $34,671 this year, more than doubling the $17,000 he earned nine years ago.Sergeants will earn $37,792.The 1989 salary is 6 percent higher than last year and up 104 percent over 1980.The nine-year increase exceeds the 67.8 percent inflation rate Saucy snowman faces charges The first complaint of the season for noisy snow removal was reported Monday at 3:19 am outside 4332 West- mount avenue, public safety officers said.Though the contractor had already left the area when officers arrived, they managed to locate him on Cedar avenue.It was suggested that he carry out his work at a different time.The man's attitude was described as \u201cflippant\u201d and he is to be charged with violating the city\u2019s noise bylaws.MUC taxes: over unpaid reported by Statistics Canada by half again as much.The $34,671 salary compares with $40,605 for first-class Westmount firefighters and $44,772 for MUC police.On the other hand, premium pay blue-collar drivers in the city get $32,593._ The change in salary level is intended to narrow the gap between the city\u2019s 22 security men and its 44 professional firefighters, according to Gordon Black, director of human resources.The labor contract covers 1989, 1990 and 1991 and was signed by both the city and the Association of West- mount Public Safety Officers two days after its approval by city council Nov 6.A Vacation and sick days It provides for four weeks vacation after nine years of service instead of after 10 and increases monetary sick bank days from 60 hours to 68 based on an 8.5 hour day.The new contract guarantees a 4.5 percent minimum cost of living adjustment for all three years in addi- Six mayors subpoenaed as city case goes to court Montreal Mayor Jean Doré is one of six mayors subpoenaed by West- mount lawyer John Donovan to appear in Quebec Superior Court Monday for the start of the hearing into ® Highest dollar volume for year in August real estate market .8 Demolition committee decisions appealed during council session.B Resident Wedge pulls together city\u2019s first arts/crafts fair .Cea B In the Neighborhood: Sue Meyer, information pusher .By CHARLES MAPPIN Westmount'\u2019s delinquency on its 1988 property tax bill.\u201cThe fireworks begin Monday morning,\u201d Mr Donovan said.The other mayors required to show up in court are Bernard Lang of Cote St Luc, Peter Yeomans of Dorval, Guy Descary of Lachine, Yves Ryan of Montreal North and Raymond Renaud of St Leonard.All are members of the Montreal Urban Community executive committee.Also subpoenaed are Montreal executive committee chairman Michael Fainstat, MUC executive committee chairman Michel Hamelin, MUC director general Conrad Cormier and 12 MUC evaluators.In all, Mr Donovan has subpoenaed some 25 people to appear when he presents his defence to the Quebec Continued on page 19 Lengthy meeting, few questions: Council session dominated by finances and demolition Westmount's 1990 tax burden will be kept within a 4.6 percent inflation rate despite an increase of more than 6 percent in MUC shared costs, citizens were told at Monday night\u2019s city council meeting.The city will use a portion of its anticipated $1 million surplus from 1989 to respect the cost-of-living ceiling in balancing the new budget, Mayor May Cutler announced.Cu VA 20 0008 The inflation figure for the Mont- sta va sa By LAUREEN SWEENEY real area is 4.6 percent, city finance director Daniel Décarie later explained.This was the first public statement concerning what residents might expect in their tax bills this Christmas.The budget is to be tabled Dec 18.\u201cIn 1990, our share of the MUC cost will increase by more than 6 percent,\u201d Mayor Cutler said.These MUC Set a oT TY bai Annual salaries of city PSOs (first class) 1980 - $17,000 1988 - $32,688 1989 - $34,671 1990 - $37,870 1991 - $39,574 tion to a 3 percent upgrading payable July 1, 1989 and 1990.; The 1989 salary is almost 30 percent more than what has been proposed for public safety officers in Hampstead\u2019s security force after which Westmount\u2019s was modelled.Hampstead firefighters receive almost the same level of pay as their Westmount counterparts.When it came time to evaluate the » Westmount salaries, Mr Black said, \u201cthe city decided to assess them against those of its own firefighters and its blue collar drivers rather than other security forces.It believed there to be no comparable standard among other security forces.Though Hampstead is the only other force with permanent city employees (as opposed to rent-a-cop patrols), he said, it was thought that the Hampstead men donot handle either fire calls or medical calls as do the Westmount PSOs.A survey by THE EXAMINER, however, shows that public safety officers in both communities perform similar duties (see separate story).First aid and CPR One of the reasons for the latest pay increase results from the officers\u2019 training in CPR and first aid, Mr Black said.When the security force was set up in 1980 as \u201cthe eyes and ears of the community,\u201d it was to fill a crime prevention void.Citizens were told at a city council meeting by the unit's founder, Alderman André Gervais, that other areas Continued on page 18 costs would represent 37 percent of the total anticipated budget.Salaries and benefits for municipal employees are projected to take another 35 percent, she said in presenting the city\u2019s required annual report on its financial position for the three years 1988, 1989 and 1990.To date, the city has settled only its labor agreement with public safety officers, Mayor Cutler said.\" Continued on page 19 hoe «mule we 2 The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, November 23, 1989 Next Scheduled City Council Meeting Monday, December 4, 8 pm Date de la prochaine séance du conseil municipal Le lundi 4 décembre, 20h VILLE DE WESTMOUNT RAPPORT DU MAIRE SUR LA SITUATION FINANCIÈRE DE LA VILLE DE WESTMOUNT À LA SÉANCE DU CONSEIL LE 20 NOVEMBRE, 1989 Mesdames et Messieurs du Conseil municipal, Mesdames et Messieurs, bonsoir.En vertu de l'article 474.1 de la Loi sur les cités et villes, le Maire doit faire rapport sur la situation financière de la Ville de Westmount au cours d'une séance du Conseil municipal ayant lieu au moins quatre (4) semaines avant le dépôt et l'adoption du budget pour l'exercice suivant.Par conséquent, conformément à ladite loi, je soumets respectueusement mon rapport sur la situation financière de la Ville de Westmount.Je traiterai des états financiers vérifiés pour l'exercice 1988 et de notre programme courant d'immobilisations.Je vous présenterai en outre des renseignements préliminaires relatifs à nos activités financières courantes, aux orientations générales de notre budget d'exploitation pour 1990 et à notre prochain programme triennal d'immobilisations (1990-91-92).États financiers de 1988 Le 30 mars 1989, MM.Thorne, Ernst & Whinney, vérificateurs de la Ville de Westmount, formulaient une opinion sans réserve quant à l'exactitude de la situation financière de la Ville de Westmount au 31 décembre 1988 et de ses résultats d'exploitation en fin d'exercice.Ces états financiers, préparés par le service des Finances de la Ville, ont été déposés au Conseil par le Trésorier de la Ville comme l'exigent les dispositions de la Loi sur les cités et villes et ont fait l'objet d'une présentation détaillée par le Commissaire aux Finances à la séance du Conseil du 17 avril 1989.Ces états indiquaient des revenus et des dépenses répartis comme suit: REVENUS .Revenus des taxes foncières et d'affaires: $33164 515 Compensation tenant lieu de taxes au titre d'immeubles gouvernementaux (hôpitaux et écoles): $1661193 Autres revenus de sources locales: $6 919 980 Contribution du réseau électrique (net): $807 954 Affectation à même l'excédent: $1500000 TOTAL DES REVENUS: $44053 642 DEPENSES .Administration générale: $3511 298 $5071768 $4 434 280 $2663 246 $604 297 $2543600 $3730113 $14658 221 $3 759752 $1905 417 É 1 2.Sécurité publique: 3.Voirie: 4.Santé environnementale: 5.Urbanisme et aménagement régional: 6.Programme de conservation du patrimoine: 7.Activités récréatives et culturelles: 8.Communauté urbaine de Montréal: 9.Service de la dette et autres dépenses: 0.Immobilisations: TOTAL DES DÉPENSES: $42 881992 Excédent des revenus sur les dépenses: $1171650 L'excédent de 1988 provenait de revenus accrus de $486 750 et d'une réduction de $684 900 des dépenses par rapport aux prévisions budgétaires initiales.ACTIF IMMOBILISÉ En 1988, le montant des immobilisations au chapitre de nos activités municipales s'est élevé à $3 680 770 et à $1640199 au chapitre du réseau électrique.Un montant de $1698 095 de ces immobilisations a été financé par voie de règlements d'emprunt, $1 717 457 par le fonds de roulement, et $1905 417 par le fonds général d'exploitation;

no capital expenditures were charged to the Parks and Playgrounds Reserve Fund.The City of Westmount ended the year 1988 in a sound financial position as indicated by its level of liquidity and by all pertinent ratios of our long-term debt as measured against valuation, revenue, and/or per capita.It is Council's intention to ensure that our City maintain the highest bond rating.1989 Forecast Based on results obtained to date and on estimates for the balance of the year, we expect that the year 1989 should close with a surplus of $1,055,000.This 1989 surplus is forecasted to arise from increased revenues of $855,000 and from a reduction of $200,000 in expenditures over original budgeted amounts.Council and the City Solicitor\u2019s office are discussing the various legal options open to the City, in the face of the motion to have the City declared in default filed by the Commission Municipale du Québec in Superior Court with respect to the allegedly outstanding portion of the City's 1988 M.U.C.apportionment.The City is vigorously contesting the legality of such apportionment; however, as a conservative measure to protect the interests of our property owners and the City\u2019s credit rating, the potential liability is recorded in our books.1990 Budget Foremost on the mind of Council when preparing the budget for 1990 is to exercise careful control over all municipal operations to hold costs in line and at the lowest possible level while maintaining the high quality of life to which the citizens of Westmount are accustomed.For 1990, our share of the M.U.C.cost will increase by more than 6%.The City has signed its labour agreement with the $3,511,298 $5,071,768 $4,434,280 $2,663,246 $604,297 $2,543,600 $3,730,113 $14,658,221 $3,759,752 $1,905,417 SopuagapeneH \u2014 Continued on page 38 Today, Nov 23 Student theatre: A presentation by Westmount High Schools drama club of drama teacher Philip Corcos\u2019 play, The test, at 8 pm in the school auditorium.Everyone is welcome.Tickets are $2.50 general admission, $1 for students and seniors.933-2701.The definitive cat: an exhibition of idiosyncratic drawings by Ilyse Segal at Westmount Library until Sunday.Generational healing: Exhibitio drawings from China 1937-1945 series of addresses by Drs R.- neth McAll and Frances McAll on methods of generational healing through the power of the Eucharist, also tomorrow and Saturday, at St Matthias\u2019 Church Hall, 12 Church Hill, 931-2669.Art exhibit: Canadian wildlife painter Régis Vézina at Galerie Art et Style, 4875A Sherbrooke street west, to Tuesday.484-3184.Art jewelry: Silver, semi-precious stones, old traders\u2019 beads, and amulets in a display of hand-wrought jewelry from Turkestan, Africa, Indonesia, Nepal, India and Europe at Galerie des 5 Continents, 1225 Greene avenue until Dec 2.Women of Africa: faces, forms, adornment at Galerie des 5 Continents, 1225 Greene avenue, until Dec 2.931-3174.Chrysanthemum show at the greenhouse Monday to Friday from 10 am to 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.The show will continue approximately another week.Friday, Nov 24 Book launching: Bonnie Shemie\u2019s Houses of snow, skin and bones at Westmount Library at 6:30 pm.Christmas crafts, chicken, Tchaikovsky: by the Home and School Association at Westmount High School from 5 to 10 pm.Bake table, crafts, penny arcade, supper served from 6:30 to 8:30.Tickets available at school office.933-2701.Saturday, Nov 25 Lebanese Casino: at the Mother House, 4871 Westmount avenue, at 8 pm.Tickets at 932-3961.Children\u2019s reading: at Oink Oink! 1361 Greene avenue, of a chapter of Charlotte's Web.Sunday, Nov 26 Westmount arts & crafts fair: Collector dolls, calligraphy, painting on silk, folk art, decorated baskets and frames, découpage, teddy bears, jewelry, photography, sculpture, refreshments and much more at Victoria Hall from 10 am to 4 pm.Public address: on The lost tribes of Israel in the Far East.Rabbi Marvin Tokayer, who was a rabbi in Japan, where he published 13 books in Japanese, will tell of little-known aspects of Jewish history, shedding light on developments today, at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, 4100 Sherbrooke street west, at 2 pm.Monday, Nov 27 Tracey Shuster in concert: Cantorial soloist at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom will sing songs from her repertoire of sacred music Broadway productions at 1 pm in community hall, 395 Elm avenue.Oil paintings by Pram Arbu Kerr at the Westmount library to Dec 10.Tuesday, Nov 28 Ikebana demonstration and workshop in Christmas flower arrangements by Prof Mieko Seibi Wa- tanabe at 1 pm at St Andrew\u2019s-Dominion-Douglas Church, 687 Roslyn avenue.Tea will be served.Guest admission $5.671- 1884 or 737-7878.Wednesday, Nov 29 Allan Bronfman memorial lecture: by Prof Yosef Hayim Yerushalmi, of Columbia University\u2019s Jewish studies department, on \u201cUnderground Judaism: the religion of the Mar- ranos\u201d at 8 pm in Congregation Shaar Hashomayim hall, 425 Met- calfe avenue.POS ANT EN A AA ALENT 11 CAR AA D Da ADVERTISER TO FILL THIS SPOT!

avenues when a tree limb fell on primary wires, light and power officials said.Few incidents of flooded basements were recorded.As rain turned the playing field outside Westmount Park School into a lake and trees were whipped about in fury, public works crews were kept busy unplugging catchbasins along Sherbrooke street.Firefighters were called to nine storm-related incidents between 11:45 am and 6:58 pm.Three were related to exterior flooding from blocked sewers at the Westmount Medical Building, 5025 Sherbrooke, as well at Summit road and Belve- dere Circle, and at 459 Argyle.Seepage

been installed in the block during the last couple of years, firefighters said.The smoke-eaters were called to homes at 333 and 331 Lansdowne as well as Westmount Park Church.Gas odors also were

citizens who showed up at Victoria Hall last week to hear the well researched plans for the hall, the conservatory and the public library seemed convinced of the wisdom and need to upgrade these valuable facilities.: It safely can be said that a majority of Westmounters probably feel the same in principle, the details sight unseen.The explanation, if necessary, for the notable absence of dissent probably lies in one line of reasoning overheard: The $6-million program is little more than for some annual works of a rather more mundane, even if more obviously necessary nature.Rebuilding of streets, sidewalks and public lighting absorb a great deal of money, too.Whether financed through borrowing or building of the cost into the tax rates, such outlays are accepted as part of the price of keeping our city up to scratch \u2014 to say nothing of its reputation for quality and excellence.If keeping up basic physical plant is important to Westmounters, there should be no question that the three long-established cultural amenities of their city demand similar, if not so frequent, attention.If not driven by the arts, learning and flowers, the more hard-headed will recognize that the hall, library and conservatory represent a not inconsiderable investment which should be maintained, not only as structures but in full practical use.* * * ANY examination of the budgets of recent years, with or without familiarity with the actual emplacements, must show that as acommunity we have not been extravagant.True, there have been piecemeal projects.But this is the first time in many years that city council has undertaken a wholesale examination of these three valuable assets with a view to bringing them up to date with both technological advances and the actual needs of the community.The amounts proposed to be spent \u2014 $3 million for the library, $2 million for the greenhouses and $1 million for Victoria Hall \u2014 are not, of course, a statement of priorities in the respective amounts.However, the proportions will strike many citizens as coinciding with their own judgment or feelings.The Westmount Public Library undoubtedly is the most used and frequented of the three facilities, and there are many who regularly visit the library who are conscious of its shortcomings: not of staff or of the board of trustees, but of benign neglect when capital projects have heen culture! budgeted by the city administration of the day.To the hard-headed, new lamp standards, smooth asphalt and level sidewalks perhaps have had more appeal than the space and appointments of our long- established library.Some of the very scoffers of the library's needs include business or professional people who otherwise well understand that in their own daily pursuits they must have the latest and best in data storage and retrieval.They also demand proper space and amenities to pursue their activities and those of their staffs.The greenhouses are a quite different kettle of fish.There probably still are persons .around who wonder why we need to grow flowers year round under artificial conditions.Indeed, during a previous mayoralty a trial balloon was sent up for the proposition to close down the conservatory and buy plants and flowers for the city's parks and other needs commercially, and thus save a packet of money.The balloon was barely afloat before it was shot down by volleys from numerous irate citizens.If nothing else, this proved West- mounters love growing things, are traditionalists and not skinflints.Finally, thereis Victoria Hall.There is much free advice at hand from the citizenry, which includes many involved in theatre, music and related pursuits for which the venerable hall might be utilized if better equipped.It is this part of the proposal with which we harbor some doubt.For instance, the artistic uses which it is proposed to attract by having a proper concert hall in fact as well as name cry for some basic market study.Amateur uses are all very well and can be worthy of taxpayer support; but if attractions of professional standard are envisioned, then council should demand more of a game plan for promotion and projected use before sanctioning outlays on elaborate stage, lighting and seating arrangements.* * * TWO years of study, consulting and researching have gone into the work presented last week.It is important that it not go down the drain through pigeonholing, shooting down by Johnny-come- lately critics, or just plain foot-dragging 1Say! Who can explain need for demolition on Greene?Sir: Perhaps someone can explain to me and other new residents of Westmount why a whole section of Greene avenue must be destroyed.Surely this will go a long way towards destroying the social or people character of the street.Considering that the shopping area on Greene is so small and that the avenue, at street level, is one of the few truly public spaces in Westmount, the forced dismantling of the shops is bound to affect West- mount far beyond the borders of Greene.Surely the City of Westmount must be aware of this.Shloime Perel 376 Lansdowne avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 2L4 TRAINS group seeks WMA endorsement A copy of the following letter to the president of the Westmount Municipal Association, has been sent to THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER: Dear Sir: Although I am not now a resident of Westmount, having formerly resided at 4872 St Catherine street west (the railway cottages), I enclose my WMA membership form.I classify myself as a concerned (former) resident of Westmount and empathize with the purpose of the WMA, specifically: 1.To promote, establish and maintain sound channels of communication between thecitizens of the City of Westmount and the municipal council of the City of Westmount.2.To promote legislation consistent with the policies of the corporation.3.To generally promote the interests of the residents of the City of Westmount.Iamalso interested to note that in the past \u201cThe citizens of Westmount more often than not expressed their municipal interests and concerns through the Association.\u201d I wish to revitalize that aspect of the WMA.I also note that through the legislative committee and advisory committees the WMA offers to \u201chelp council in any way that would be of service to ourcitizens.\u201d The WMA should therefore support the TRAINS Association, thereby helping council and serving the citizens.As well, consid- by those, both elected and staff, who must be relied upon to carry out the various parts and phases of the program.Council has not yet flashed many green lights, but we trust that one of the reasons why all this has been brought forward at this time was so some of it might be reflected by anticipation in the 1990 budget, now being wrapped up at city hall.The prospective new finance commissioner, former and probably soon-again Councillor Peter Trent, appeared to look kindly on the proposals, specially the novel scheme to give public benefactors the opportunity to participate in the financing through a public fund.Receipts for donations for federal and provincial income tax deductions could have a stronger appeal than simply supporting the program through the unrelieved burden of local property taxes.One thing is certain: Mayor May Cutler, elected on a platform featuring upgrading and enhancing the cultural means at the disposal of Westmounters, will not let this good planning rest.Its successful implementation could be the final signal that council hasbeen turned around and recognizes her leadership, which is well earned and deserved and for which the public should be grateful.The councillors who have supported this initiative with their hard work, specially Mrs Joan Rothman and Mrs Sally Aitken, also deserve appreciation.WHAT makes us discontented with our condition is the absu rdly >xagger- ated idea we have of the happiness of others.ering the WMA's committees such as planning and legislative encompass maintaining the city\u2019s character, I would submit that the WMA should support the TRAINS Association.The TRAINS Association mandate is to preserve the quality of life and to integrate the railway cottages into the \u201cproject\u201d (Glen Yards) and save the houses from demolition.The WMA's formal endorsement of the TRAINS Association would be a positive step which would enable the community to be better served.I would appreciate your comments regarding my concerns and look forward to the additional credibility and solidarity which the support of the WMA will provide.Your newsletter quote is most interesting \u201cthat the association was once powerful, influential and an integral part of the way that things were done in Westmount.\u201d I believe that my recommendation is a perfect springboard to return the WMA to its rightful place as a voice of the citizens.Ilook forward to hearing from you.Dennis Kidd 470 de Chambly LAVAL PQ H7W 4K1 Many would make use of city hall elevator A copy of the following open letter to Mayor May Cutler, city councillors and director general Peter Patenaude has been sent to THE EXAMINER: I was surprised to read, on page 24 of THE EXAMINER of Nov 16, that a provision of $150,000 for an elevator for city hall has been removed from the 1990 preliminary budget of the City of Westmount.This is not the first time that this very vital access to city hall has been set aside.The population of Westmount is aging and an elevator would be helpful and much appreciated not only by those who are in wheelchairs, but also by those with arthritic knees, problem hips and other not so obvious but painful afflictions for whom climbing stairs may be dangerous as well as painful.In addition it no doubt would be used by those persons, many a lot below the seniors age, who may be recovering from accidents and also by young mothers with children in strollers who, for whatever reason, have business at city hall.An elevator would also remove a barrier from employing competent, wheelchair-bound persons.On Monday last the meeting at Victoria Hall unveiled suggested plans for a major change to the library, greenhouse and Victoria Hall complex with a guestimate of $6 million.I have two questions for the mayor, city council and city administration: 1.How can the mayor and the councillors on the committee which presented these plans do so in any conscience, at the same time denying an important, but relatively inexpensive, addition to the city hall, in the nature of an elevator?2.How much longer must it be a painful, often dangerous, experience for some of our citizens to visit city hall?Barbara Moore 587 Lansdowne avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Y 2V7 Reopening of recycling shed is appreciated Sir: I was very pleased to read in the Nov 9 edition of THE EXAMINER about the reopening of the recycling shed at the south end of Bethune street.Recycling is something that was sorely missed in the city, except for those people who lived near the shed.They were obliged to live with the overflowing shed and the loose garbage lying around it.Unfortunately, the solution to the problem was not to shut down the shed, but to empty it more frequently.With the reopening of the shed, I hope that it will not be abused, nor that the paper in it be allowed to accumulate beyond the holding capacity.This would cause the same problems that forced the city council to shut it down in the first place.I sincerely hope that the proposed wait until after next April does not go into effect, but that instead, everyone be allowed to use the shed immediately.I congratulate the city council on their decision.Reid McDougall 671 Grosvenor avenue

Forty-five Years Ago November 24, 1944 \u201cThe Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Westmount, although fully realizing that likely there will be long weeks or months of bitter fighting in Europe before Germany surrenders unconditionally, believe that upon the cessation of hostilities in Europe the occasion should be marked in an appropriate manner with deep feeling of gratitude and thankfulness and a full realization that even with the hostilities in Europe terminated World War II is by no means finished.In furtherance of this feeling, the City Council invited representatives of all religious denominations in Westmount to join in a committee to consider the matter and to make all necessary arrangements.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago November 26, 1954 \u201cThe crime comics, on court rolls for nearly a year, has been delayed again.Sessions Court Judge Armand Cloutier continued to Dec 17 the hearings for Benjamin News, Montreal News Dealers Supply and American News Co.The three are charged with having, in November, 1953, distributed comic books devoted \u2018exclusively or substantially\u2019 to the depiction of crime.The cases were prepared by juvenile delinquency bureau agents, who to date have filed copies of nearly a score of \u2018crime comics.\u2019 These, according to police, illustrate weird and violent stories about murder, robbery, gang wars and sex.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago November 20, 1964 \u201cTwo Westmount doctors were among the medical task force that sailed this week for Easter Island in the South Seas to take part in an unprecedented integrated medical research program.Dr Stanley C.Skoryna.originated the project nearly three years ago and is its director.Dr Skoryna will investigate gastrointestinal diseases on the island.Dr David Alton Murphy.will investigate animal diseases transmitted to man.The expedition, composed of experts from Canada, the U.K., the U.S., Scandinavia and Switzerland will study life on Easter Island because the island has lived in isolation and that isolation will soon be ending.\u201d Ten Years Ago November 22, 1979 \u201cWestmount has withdrawn its request for submissions from entrepreneurs to use Victoria Hall, in anticipation of an impending offer from the Westmount YMCA to use the city building for a day care centre and youth program.Ald Brian Gallery revealed this Monday night, indicating that the city would prefer a community project such as a day care program to a straight entrepreneurial enterprise in the city-owned facility.He did not indicate whether the city would be willing to help subsidize the day care program through reduced rent.\u201d One Year Ago November 24, 1988 \u201cThe race was closer than Westmounters have grown accustomed to, but nonetheless they will continue to be represented by a Liberal MP in Ottawa.In Monday's federal election, voters in St Henri-Westmount elected David Berger by a narrow margin over Progressive Conservative candidate Keith MacLellan.The difference between the number of votes cast for Mr Berger and Mr MacLellan was less than a thousand, the closest race in Westmount\u2019s riding since 1945.An EXAMINER tabulation of the poll- by-poli results shows Mr Berger capturing 16,442 votes or 41.6 percent of the popular vote.Mr MacLellan got 15,522 votes, or 39.3 percent.\u201d our Mayor Her Worship May Cutler | says.The library, Victoria Hall and the greenhouse (Part 1) WHAT has been going on over the past two years?A lot.One of my main objectives as mayor has been the renovation of our community buildings \u2014 the library, greenhouse and Victoria Hall \u2014 to make them more relevant to the needs of our citizens.On Feb 3, 1988, the first of our committees on culture met at the home of Councillor Sally Aitken.For want of a name it was called the MACRAME committee.Nobody is sure what the acronym stood for \u2014 something like the Mayor's Arts, Culture, Recreation, Aerobics (we had to do something with the second A), Music and Education committee.The name would change through the 23 meetings that have been held since.It became WACC \u2014 the Westmount Advisory Committee on Culture.Although some members left and new ones came, a surprising number have been with us since the beginning.These include \u2014 in addition to Councillor Aitken and me \u2014 architects Mark London and James Aitken, Henry Finkel from Arts Westmount, John Udy and John Jonas.Others who contributed at various times were Dr Sam Solomon, who acted as chair for a period, Jim Wright and Michael Faure.The director general attended one or two meetings as did Councillor Joan Rothman.The director of recreation joined the committee a few months ago and recently the new director of operations attends.I personally attended all meetings and Cour- cillor Aitken nearly all.While we were meeting and discussing our recreational programs and facilities, a parallel committee was meeting, the library committee.This committee has not changed in structure since 1898, though it has changed in personnel.It consists of three councillors, three trustees elected from the citizens and the mayor.It, too, was considering facilities.We are now bringing the work of both com- Continued on page 16 our M.N.A.Richard B.Holden È says.Red carpet in Quebec ON MONDAY the red carpet was rolled out

bringing an end to the Liberal hegemony which has lasted 50 years.I also mentioned the fact that with only four percent of the vote we had elected four MNAs.I also predicted that ne:t time we would win 15 percent of th: vote, 15 seats and the balance of power.Neil Cameron (Jacques Cartier) reminded us that as a history professor he was constantly exan.ining the actions of legislators.He is somewhat intimidated by the thought that now his colleagues would be scrutinizing his speeches and proposals.: Robert Libman (D'Arcy McGee), surrounded by family and friends, was eloquent in his thanks to those who helped elect us.I was impressed to see such a young man act with such grace and dignity in what is certainly one of the most prestigious and impressive occasions of his new political career.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, November 23, 1989 - 5 | La ~~\" WE'RE LOOKING TO THIS 2 FRENDLY WITH Ne \u2019 A W fT IF So, ARE You MINISTER 2 » No Ud | Ie NY \u2014 Je Ti ie af A

solutions GRASSROOTS or bottom-up solutions to problems of welfare, unemployment and economic decline.In a nutshell this is the thinking that underlies the recommendations of the final report of the Comité pour la relance de l\u2019économie et de l\u2019émploi du Sud-Ouest de Montréal (CREESOM), a committee for economic recovery and development of employment in southwest Montreal.Southwest Montreal is made up of six communities in the City of Montreal, bordering Lachine Canal: St Henri, Point St Charles, Little Burgundy, Griffintown, Ville Emard and Côte St Paul.Earlier this year, in a diagnosis of the area, CREESOM found that the people of the southwest do not benefit from existing government services designed to improve their conditions.Because of social or educational barriers, they use these services much less than the average.CREESOM's recommendations include instituting a special reclassification committee to provide assistance for workers subject to mass layoffs, a help centre for the jobless, a service to promote local manpower, a help centre for school dropouts, daycare services and a literacy program.The committee also recommends funding the rehabilitation of industrial sites, rebuilding of streets and roads, and the revitalization and enhancement of specific sites such as Atwater Market.These efforts would be co-ordinated by a local economic development corporation, the embryo of which exists already.It would be modelled after successful precedents in the U.S.and in the city of York in the Metro Toronto area.The committee report is the fruit of two years of effort which brought together representatives of the Quebec and federal governments.This broad representation and the thorough approach taken by the committee should help in building support begins.I will try to act in what I take to be the best interest of the Westmount constituency.And if I don't, I trust readers of THE EXAMINER and others will let me know.Venue, menu not point of city recreation repast Sir: It seems that the Westmount recreation department has alienated one of our participants.Warren Valdmanis in his letter last week accuses our department of acting in haste by including all participants in a new style recognition night.He refers to the first occasion when, yes, everyone was invited to the arena for a stand-up hot dog dinner.We discovered that this required some fine-tuning and the next year we had the same menu, sit-down style, in Victoria all.Ithink Mr Valdmanis is missing the point.The place and menu are relatively unimportant \u2014 what is important is the fact that we are recognizing all participants.Our basic philosophy is one of equal opportunity for all in any activity which is sponsored or operated by the department.The house league team rosters are made by the sports supervisors deliberately in-, cluding players of all abilities on each team, Every player on these teams is assured of as much playing time as any other.Ât this level we are attempting to instill positive values of consideration for others, good sportsmanship, fair play, etc.Individual playing skills are taught but not stressed.Should a player feel that he or she has potential which is not being addressed in the house leagues, then there are inter-city teams which they may try out for.At this level playing skills receive much more attention.We did not make a hasty decision to include all.We did not think that it would be cute or just nice to invite everyone.We gave this much thought and consideration.Everyone now receives a certificate.The members of championship teams are presented their awards on stage.People receiving a good sportsmanship trophy are also recognized on stage.Others may pick up their certificates following the official presentations.The important point, as far as we are concerned, is that everyone is being recognized in one way or another.We would hope that this concept is appreciated as much at this special evening as it is on the field.Joan Rothman Councillor, Leisure and Culture Robert Aiken Director of Recreation 4675 St Catherine street west WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 154 il 6 - Highest dollar volume for year in Aug Seven homes each with a price tag in excess of $750,000 topped a hectic midsummer binge of residential real estate transactions in Westmount.Twenty-nine single-family houses changed hands in August at an average price of $579,918, up considerably from the previous month when 13 homes sold at an average of $556,923.An EXAMINER analysis of property transfers registered at city hall in August shows

valuation at $350,000, while 32 Belvedere sold for 158 percent above its $851,100 valuation.The total of the 29 prices exceeded the total valuations by 47.2 percent.Removing the two highest and two

Photo by STEPHANIE BOUCHARD Demands whittled from 25 to 10: Council refuses to negotiate; white-collars call off strike By LAUREEN SWEENEY Yesterday's strike by Westmount white-collar workers was called off \u2014 again.The sudden cancellation followed refusal by city council members Monday to return to the negotiating table after the white-collar workers whittled down some 25 outstanding demands to 10.\u201cWe're showing our good faith,\u201d said union president Michael Crouch.\u201cWe gave them what they asked for.But they haven't even responded in a positive way.At least they might tell us why they don't agree.There's no discussion.\u201d He reiterated a previous request to talk directly to a council committee.Mayor May Cutlertold THE EXAMINER after the council session that the union hadn't given them \u201canything new.\u201d It is maintaining the position that there will be no more negotiations (see story last week).\u201cWe'll wait it out with them,\u201d Mr Crouch said.\u201cThey'll have to negotiate eventually.It's to our advantage to wait.\u201d The white-collar workers, local 2987 of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), have been without a contract since Dec 31.They held a one-day strike Oct 27 and called off a subsequent walkout two weeks ago.The workers are seeking a three- year collective agreement centred around job security and a number of Professional Cards out 10 priority points as follows: * Union recognition; * Job security; holiday; retirement leave; whichever is higher; What they want: white-collars\u2019 demands White-collar

program for training of all rather than a selected few; and, e Retroactivity of contract to cover 1989 retirees.\u201cnon-monetary\u201d items that directly affect different workers.The city's latest offer gave job security for 10 years\u2019 service.Mr Crouch said the union is looking for five years, noting that thecity starts its long-service pay at that point.He said city director general Peter Patenaude had called CUPE adviser Roger Laramée asking for a list of 10 items council could consider Monday night (see separate story).Onesignificant change, Mr Crouch said, was dropping the request

Monday's city council meeting with a number of questions on her mind, the main one being why her water was turned off Tuesday last week with no warning.While nobody at the meeting had the answer, Westmount director general Peter Patenaude said he would make some inquiries and get back to Mrs Earle with an explanation.Public works director Fred Ca- luori later said the culprit was a broken water main at the corner of Côte St Antoine and Metcalfe avenue.A Montreal waterworks crew had to turn off the supply for severa hours while a section of pipe wa replaced.He did not know how man\u2019

safety officers.On Tuesday afternoon, Nov 14, the sound was described by one complainant, a doctor, as unbearable for himself and his patients, they said.The project was part of on-going construction work.Another complaint on Friday evening from 4000 de Maisonneuve was also attributed to the work.FF La mr CE Architect Michael Werleman explains how the building he has designed for Greene avenue will blend into the village atmosphere of the street to Coun Joan Rothman, Coun Stuart Robertson, Mayor May Cutler and Coun Daniel Tingley.Vote to be taken at next meeting: Demolition committee decisions appealed during council session Westmount must buy 22 Summit Circle for $1.5 million if city council won't allow the house to be demolished and a new one built on the site, the lawyer representing owner Annie Kenane has told THE EXAMINER.\u201cIf the council upholds the demolition committee decision, Mrs Kenane cannot build anything satisfactory to her or what the Architectural and Planning Commission already approved,\" David Powell said.The city induced Mrs Kenane, Mr Powell claims, to pursue architectural plans from September 1988 until the spring of 1989 without telling her she could face a stumbling block, the demolition by-law which came into force in June.\u201cIf she can\u2019t build what she needs, J.Barry Prieur What every businessperson should know is that in negotiations, the race is to the friendly, the honest and the fair.The last thing you want to do is to turn a negotiation into a confrontation.You want to make it a situation of mutual respect.I want the customer to be reasonable, not defensive \u2014 to work with me.Everyone has a goal: less money, better terms, whatever.That doesn't mean you holler, pound on the desk, or make threats \u2014 that's ridiculous.It's just another part of the misconception that people who are dishonest and cunning are going to win.They're not.Treat someone the way that you would like to be treated.A successful negotiation isn't one where one side gets everything and the other nothing.489-4994 MID-TOWN LEASING (MONTREAL) LTD.5333 rue St-Jacques ts By CHARLES MAPPIN Westmount should expropriate.Why should she as a property owner suffer a loss for the good of the community?\u201d Mr Powell asked city council Monday to overturn the demolition committee decision refusing her proposal to replace the 90-year-old wooden house with a modern one.Mr Powell didn\u2019t mention the purchase at the time, but he did give council a long list of reasons why it should overturn the earlier decision.After hearing this appeal and the one for the buildings at 1259-71 Greene avenue, council adjourned to its private chambers, emerging a few minutes later to announce it would vote on each at its next meeting, slated for Dec 4.Time is needed to review the facts, Mayor May Cutler said.There for appeals Most of those who squeezed into the crowded council chamber Monday were there for the appeals, which took up close to an hour and a half midway through the regular council meeting.In a break from normal procedure at city hall meetings, council allowed both the owners of the properties and those who had appealed the decisions to speak freely and explain their positions.Mr Powell said city officials told Mrs Kenane all along their main concern was that the proposed new house would not block views from the Summit lookout.\u201cThe question of heritage never came up.\u201d He blamed delays in processing the application on slowness at city hall, adding that Mrs Kenane should have had a permit before the demolition by-law even came into force.\u201cShe had a legitimate expectation that if she did certain things she\u2019d get the promised result, a building permit,\u201d Mr Powell said.He questioned the legitimacy of the views expressed in the 1988 architectural heritage study, saying the document was never given legal status nor subjected to criticism by any other group.If the house can\u2019t be demolished because it is part of a collective dream, Mr Powell argued, then it becomes a collective responsibility.Based on independent assessments, he said the value of 22 Summit Circle has dropped from $1.5 million to $700,000 because of the demolition committee decision.Architect Michael Fish, speaking in defence of the house, urged council that losing \u201cthis document of the EE CEES a past\u201d would be a far greater burden than any Mrs Kenane could feel.\u201cThe balance of public and private interest is clearly on the side of the public in this case,\u201d Mr Fish said, adding that houses noted for their heritage only increase in value.Mr Fish said Mrs Kenane knew she would have a problem demolishing the house because she tried to make a demolition permit a condition of purchase when she bought it.She eventually withdrew the condition +.+.LSS The Westmount Examiner, Thu and paid $1 million for it in the summer of 1988.The second appeal council heard Monday involves the row of two- storey buildings at 1259-71 Greene avenue, at the corner of de Maison- neuve boulevard.Four appeals were made of the demolition committee decision to allow the structures to be demolished and replaced by a five- storey extension to the Montreal Trust building.Rita Stafford, owner of the Coffee Gourmet Centre which will be displaced by the new building, said she represents the 1,500 people who signed a petition in her store opposing the change.\u201cThe buildings are lousy \u2014 we all know that,\u201d Mrs Stafford said.Her concern is the trend she has seen in her 15 years working on the street.\u201cThe backbone of Greene avenue, small business, is disappearing and big business is taking over.\u201d Losing the pulse Mrs Stafford said she thinks council has lost its feel for the pulse of the street and what residents and merchants want to see there.\u201cYou had better reflect on it very, very seriously.\u201d Judith Mappin, co-owner of The Double Hook, said the matter comes down to different philosophies: tearing down to build something bigger where the greatest concern is the bottom line, versus preserving the nature of a neighborhood which has rsday, November 23, 1989 - 9 already lost too much in recent years.Similar sentiments were expressed by two residents who appealed: Joan Wilks, represented by \"her husband, and Christiane van Re- -nesse.Both lamented the displacement of small businesses and the lack of people now living on Greene.Mrs van Renesse said the new building will block the view of West- mount Square, a landmark in the area.She suggested the old buildings be renovated and improved, rather than torn down.Developer David Schatia said these concerns were taken into consideration in the design of the building.\u201cWe are not going to build a great concrete mausoleum to destroy that cherished atmosphere,\u201d Mr Schatia said.He pointed to other buildings he owns on Greene as an indication of his commitment to the street, the Old Post Office and the row at the northwest corner of St Catherine street.When asked by Councillor Peter Duffield if he would make a commitment to have four storefronts in the new building, Mr Schatia said he couldn't make that commitment, but will let the market decide.The zoning would allow for a single retail store to occupy the ground floor.Architect Michael Werleman produced drawings to show council how the design of the façade and signage would improve the look at street evel.R.R.l.F.s and e Maximum Interest & ASSOCIÉS LIMITÉE ASSOCIATES LIMITED e

The overall dimensions of 60 feet by 32 feet just overwhelm me and especially that plastic front with the same proportions.After all, \u2018\u2018plastics are the future\u2019\u2019.And allowing this \u2018\u2018accessory building\u2019 to have a 2 foot wall and claim that the plastic rising above is a \u2018\u2018roof\u2019\u2019 and therefore legal is so imaginative, to say the least.Oh yes, the location is fabulous too! It's right at the top of the hill so the whole neighborhood can admire it.Very smart! You know, this structure somehow reminds me of a transport Quebec or a municipal \u2018\u2018Tepee\u2019\u2019 storage structure housing salt and snow removal equipment.However, we know that it\u2019s really a garden storage shed with an 18 foot door (big tools, Huh!) I am awe-inspired by your desire to keep the architectural and historical beauty of Westmount.My nickname for the structure is \u2018\u2018the satellite receiving station\u2019\u2019 as it\u2019s minor importance is to hold a 16 foot diameter satellite receiving dish.I love satellite dishes.It's a delight not to have to look at children at play there, not to see a swimming pool, guesthouse, garage or flower \u2018\u2018hot house\u2019\u2019.However, we like those electronic specialists and satellite dish service men.Dead buildings are great.Good going! The City Official\u2019s testimony in the Superior Court last spring that this structure is architecturally acceptable to the City of Westmount was absolutely inspirational.(Can that be really true?) The Architectural and Planning Commission has really excelled this time \u2014 such good taste.Do we actually pay them or do they help us for free?Of course this year, this same commission rejected my Shorncliffe Avenue neighbor's request to have a window installed in the roof of her home so her children could play in natural daylight.Her request was refused \u2014 poor architectural design.I guess.After all, who cares about kids anyway.We like satellite dish receiving stations and we must Keep up with the fine standards of Westmount.God bless \u2018\u2018plastic modern\u2019.And Rhoda Vineberg, thank you for disassociating yourself by letter with this fight \u2014 especially because your husband's law firm was one of the group to represent the owner of the structure.No prejudice \u2014 how wise! It was wonderful to meet you in court, for the first time, and to see you sit on the side of my opponent for 3 \u2014 what maybe 4 days.It must have been a coincidence.Do you represent me too?Councillors, thank you for net changing any by-laws.Heaven only knows there must be many other Westmount residents who would love having such an accessory structure next to their home too \u2014 great for property values.In fact, I know that my property has sky-rocketed in value with this plastic modern accessory structure next to it.With your standards, who needs pillars and stone work, arches and vaulted ceilings, leaded glass windows, carved wood or anything but cement floors and 18 foot doors and let\u2019s not forget, \u2018\u2018plastic modern\u2019\u2019.I'm sure that the 30-storey radio tower problem adjacent to Ridgewood Avenue could be easily solved with your leadership.After all, probably just a 2 foot concrete wall and a 91 meter high plastic facade would make that tower legal and oh, look so beautiful \u2014 yet just another accessory building.How could the City of Montreal be concerned and describe the tower as \u2018\u2018Visual Pollution\u2019\u2019?Heck, we like it here! Did you know that Lexington Avenue is now a tourist attraction?I am astonished by the number of visitors who come for the view of this structure.They stop, look and pass by.But why do they all leave shaking their heads with disgust and disbelief.Have they no taste for plastic art forms?I must not neglect the landscaping you required of the builder.It will be some 25 years before those pine trees block the view from the street.Oh darn! That will make me 71 years of age before I lose that view.Of course, I'll always have the pleasure of that great view from my home \u2014 no trees were planted to prevent that! Bless you all.Well, elected officials \u2014 what more can I say?Your courage, righteousness, and wisdom has brought a new dimension to city government.Down with the intent of the law!

suggestions from Arts Westmount based on its problems in using Victoria Hall for its varied cultural offerings during the annual arts festival and a general questionnaire conducted by the WMA.We also had the list of programs now offered or sponsored by the city\u2019s department of recreation and culture, which appear in its semi-annual booklet.Others, too, have contributed to this overall evaluation.Culture is a big deal everywhere.The City of Montreal has been opening major cultural centres for its citizens all over its municipality.On Oct 20 I attended the opening of its most recent, the Mercier Centre down east on Hochelaga.It combines a library with a theatre and multi-purpose rooms and cost $7.2 million.Another at approximately the same cost is scheduled to open at Frontenac in January.WACC was fortunate to have a visit from the woman who runs all the centres for Montreal: Monik Barbeau Vweshelden, whore- ported on how these are built, how needs for good radio communications,\u201d Mr Masse said.\u201cIn this instance the appropriate balance would not have been achieved.\u201d Mr Masse said he supports the City of Montreal's efforts to have the tower removed.Officials at the company which owns the tower, Glenayre Communications Inc, are still not commenting on what they'll do next.they are run and what they offer.I did a little research on my own, visiting eight libraries on the island, including new ones in LaSalle, Kirkland and Pierrefonds and that fairly new wonderful one in Côte St Luc as well as the lavish ane cultural centre and libra} in St Léonard.Lists are boring and I give you these only so you will know that what we are proposing is not based on \u201cLet's all sit around and think what would be nice to have,\u201d but on comparative and realistic examinations of what Westmounters might need now and into the first decades of the 21st century.The only area that has not had full study is the greenhouse.Its future, how it will be maintained and/or modified, is dependent on what we do with the other two.We learned some interesting things about ourselves through all this.(Continued next week.)

It\u2019s the best building in Montreal.\u201d After the meeting, Mr Paterson said it should be fairly simple to establish smoking lounges with separate ventilation \u2014 such as an open window or extraction fan.On that scale, he said, there should be little effect on the main system.\u201cBut no one has asked me,\u201d he said.One speaker pointed out that adding 15 percent fresh air to the system doesn't really make the air clean.He likened it to a barrel filled with 85 gallons of sewage.Adding 15 gallons of fresh water doesn\u2019t make 100 gallons of clean water.About 20 people rose to make presentations.Among these was a staff member with a petition signed by 137 Dawson teachers calling for a Man assaults ex-girlfriend A man kicked open the door of an apartment at 4862 Sherbrooke street Sunday morning and punched his former girlfriend in the face, police said.The woman sustained a bleeding nose.Though the incident is under investigation, the victim did not want tolay charges against the 25-year-old man, police explained.The break-in and assault were reported to have occurred about 9am in front of witnesses.ban on smoking in areas without separate ventilation.Another was Dawson Student Union president Alex Fitzpatrick with a petition signed by 300 students requesting separate ventilation for La Cachette so it could serve as \u201ca smokers\u2019 haven.\u201d The ACC will now prepare a resolution to be presented to Dawson director-general Gerrard Kelly.Mr Kelly said this week that, once he receives the resolution, he will take time to study it and consider how best to implement it.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, November 23, 1989 - 17 \u201cWe pay a great deal of attention to resolutions from the campus council,\u201d he said.Mr Kelly doesn\u2019t think the resolution needs to go to the board of governors.He says he believes heand his management team can make the decision.He said he cannot speculate as to how long implementation will take.\u201cI will certainly do the very best I can to see the mandate is respected.The process and how we're going to do it isn\u2019t going to happen in a week.\u201d 40% TO 65 Yoorr urriers Maste 5014 Drm W.(at Claremont) ONE ON ONE is an innovative, fast-growing approach to executive fitness.Exercising with a personal trainer in the privacy of your home or office is the most time-efficient and convenient way to work out.Your body, as well as your schedule is different from everyone else's.So we'll create a work-out program for you based on a computerized fitness evaluation and Hours - 9-5 Mon-Fri 9-4 Saturday 484-3521 The best bodies in Montreal like it one on one.ONE!

herself as \u201cconvenor, co-ordinator, or mad,\u201d has planned and organized the fair, seeing to everything from publicity to tablecloths for the artisans\u2019 tables.For years, Ms Wedge says, \u201cI'd thought, \u2018Why doesn\u2019t someone else do it?\u2019 I thought it was such a shame that there wasn't a show in West- mount.\u201d This year Ms Wedge decided to create a co-operative of artisans and make the fair happen.She emphasizes it is the artisans themselves who will make the fair a success: \u201cOtherwise, it won't go forward.\u201d She has had help from her husband, Don, who put lists, names and letters into a computer.Westmount city councillors Joan Rothman and Sally Aitken and director of recreation Bob Aiken were \u201call very supportive.\u201d And calligrapher Marion

Saturday's Arts and Crafts Show are, standing from left, Ann Rigler, Margaret LeGallais and Susan Heller.In front is Lynn McMahon.Zimmer did the printing for flyers and invitations.Inspired by others Ms Wedge says the Westmount Arts and Crafts Fair is a blossoming out of two other Montreal crafts events she admires: Montreal West's \u201cArt etc\u201d and Westmount's \u201cChez Nous,\u201d a group of about 20 friends and acquaintances who hold an annual craft sale in a private home.Originally the fair was to have been held in one of the small rooms in Victoria Hall.Then, Ms Wedge says, \u201clI shoehomed my way into getting the big room.And then my heart dropped when I saw the size \u2014 Thad to find a way to fill it!\u201d She spread the word about the fair by handing out flyers at the arts and culture meeting at Victoria Hall and by inviting senior citizens, schools, community groups and artisans she had heard about to have tables at the fair.Now Ms Wedge has a list of at least 21 artisans who will set up tables in Victoria Hall.She has encouraged them actually to do their crafts at their tables if possible, and to bring portfolios, photographs of work, or special tools they use.Most of the participating artists are from Westmount.Several Visual Arts Centre teachers will be selling work.There will be tables of weaving, collector dolls, decorated baskets and picture frames, wearable art, calligraphy, découpage, jewelry, drawings, watercolors, dried floral ESSO CONCERTS CHARLES DUTOIT, CONDUCTOR ROBERT MC DUFFIE, VIOLIN GARY HOFFMAN, CELLO Concerto for Violin and

\u201cpaint very, very fast because they were moving all the time.\u201d Virginia McClure has done some small abstracts using a process for batiking paper, which she discovered herself.With a polymer and inks, she creates on paper what is ordinarily done on cloth with wax and dyes.Katrin Leblond will have a table with necklaces, pins and hair clips she makes out of Fimo, a colored clay-like plasticine, which is formed and baked.Doll-maker Ann Rigler will show some of the fairies, period dolls or character dolls she makes out of felt and wire frames and then dresses in the appropriate costumes.On Saturday, the artisans will set up in the morning and dismantle by 6 pm.Ms Wedge has agreed to clear out so a Slovakian dinner can move in.She says she hopes the fair will run

a children\u2019s book about native dwellings of the far north was something of a departure for West- mount artist Bonnie Shemie.\u201cI'm from Ohio!\" she says.\u201cI have no background in any of this stuff!\" Ms Shemie is, however, an architectural artist.She has exhibited widely in Montreal.Her artwork is marked by attention to detail and accuracy of representation.Ms Shemie says her book-writing career began almost three years ago when publisher May Cutler, president of Tundra Books, saw one of her paintings hanging in the dining room at Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp\u2019s School.\u201cShe said, \u2018You've got to do a book Narcisse Mondoux returning on architecture\u2019, recounts Ms She- mie.\u201cWe gradually started working things out.\u201d She says it took a long time to focus.Eventually, the topic was narrowed to native houses and Ms She- mie began her research.\u201cI started at McGill in the architecture library,\u201d she says, \u201cthen the main library.I went to the McCord Museum, to the photo archives in Ottawa.\u201d After two or three months of research, she realized the mass of information was simply too great.The focus was further narrowed to just Inuit dwellings.And Ms Shemie returned to her research.\u201cI spoke to Fred Bruemmer \u2014 he\u2019s written wonderful books about the Arctic,\u201d she says.She also viewed National Film Board films and read \u201clots of books.\u201d to Saidye Bronfman Theatre Gratien Gélinas is bringing his comedy, The passion of Narcisse Mondoux, in which he stars with his wife Hugette Oligny, back to the Saidye Bronfman Theatre.The play has previously toured Canada, New England and New York, as well as having had a run at the Saidye Bronfman Centre.It will play there again, in English, starting Nov 28 and running to Dec 17.There will be three performances in French: Nov 3 and Dec 7 and 14.Performances are at 8 pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; at 6 and 9 pm Saturdays and 3 pm Sundays.There are no performances Fridays or Mondays.The play is directed by Peter Moss, with set by Michael Egan and costumes by Francois Barbeau.The play tells the story of a master plumber who has been waiting several decades for the right opportunity to approach a woman he has always loved.Now they are both widowed and a touching courtship can begin between the elegant, worldly widow and her passionate, fumbling lover.Box office: 739-7944.It\u2019s easy to place a classified ad in THE EXAMINER.Simply call 931- 7511.An adtaker will help compose the ad.Le Manoir

has come an attractive, informative and charming 24-page book, Houses of snow, skin and bones.The mass of information collected by Ms Shemie has been reduced to discussions of the four principal types of Arctic house: the igloo, the quarmang, the sod house and the tent.This is potentially pretty dry stuff for a child.But Ms Shemie seems to have worked the angles on that.For one thing, she gives easy-to- follow instructions on how to build an igloo.(Only a grown-up would be put off by the need for tundra snow.) Descriptions of the various structures are simplified by Ms Shemie'\u2019s delightful drawings which include Inuit actually doing stuff in and around these houses: crawling through cold traps, sleeping, scraping skins, eating, playing.Ms Shemie mentions the fragile environment of the Arctic and its susceptibility to pollution.She points out that traditional native dwellings are not part of the problem.\u201cWith the exception of the stone foundations of the quarmang, all northern shelters decomposed, returning to the vast, magnificent land from which they had come, neither changing it nor damaging it.\u201d There are five two-page color plates and one one-page color plate.The end papers are a color map of the Arctic showing where the different types of dwelling are found.The layered look The color works were done, Ms Shemie says, using colored pencil and graphite pencil, then a fixative, then another layer of pencil.\u201cLayer on layers so I get a density.\u201d There are black-and-white drawings illustrating the text pages.These show, among other things, Inuit implements such as knives and needles, the steps in making an igloo, and various tents.Ms Shemie has never been to the Arctic.\u201cI'd love to go up there, but it\u2019s awfully far to go,\u201d she says.So she took her work to people who have been to the far north.\u201cYou get someone who's been there to vet it for little details,\u201d she says, \u2018like the color of the ice.\u201d The book is a pleasure to read aloud as listening children have plenty to look at.Older children, perhaps doing their own research, will find the information clearly presented.An achievement as Ms She- mie says she has never done any writing.\u201cIt's a vast area,\u201d she says of the material.\u201cIt\u2019s complicated.One doesn't want to reduce it down to make it sound simple.But you don\u2019t The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, N have much choice in 24 pages.\u201d She says she is planning to make Houses of snow, skin and bones the first in a series.She wants to write about bark houses, the long house, teepees and wigwams, and the wood- ovember 23, 27 BEN ses en dwellings of the northwest coast Indians.Houses of snow, skin and bones is being launched at the Westmount Public Library tomorrow evening.\u2014 Kathleen Hugessen & UES WN ® TAF x N Reason NX K The Treasure Hunt N 487-3200 Two locations to serve you better 2340 Guy (below Sherbrooke) Montreal 937-4435 ° 6321 Trans Canada Hwy (corner Blvd.St.Jean) Pointe Claire 697-6720 Jewelry and Gift Items to Suit Every Taste Antique Jewelry and Silver a Specialty 368 Victoria Avenue, Westmount Jewelry restyled - Pearls and beads restrung LE CHOCOLAT BELGE (Corné Toison D\u2019Or) in the heart of Montreal Monday-Friday 10-6 Saturday 10-5 ¢ Fine Imported Belgian Chocolates e Gift baskets e Gift items e Exclusive teas, coffees and jams ¢ Chocolates for Christmas & parties Westmount Arts Folk Art + Stencilled Stationery * Sculpture Weaving + Dried.Floral Wreaths + * Découpage * Artyou can wear + & Crafts Fair Bijouterie + Dyed.Wools « * Peinture sursote « Silver Jewellery Collector dolls « Calligraphie + Teddy Bears + Tricot * Photographe 10-00 a 16-00 h Victoria Hall, 4626 Sherbrooke W Samedi, Le 25 Novembre 1989 - Refresy, ke Ix 28 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, November 23, 1989 a ;
