[" Owner of 22 Summit sues city for $3 million By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI The owner of a 91-year-old house at 22 Summit Circle is suing the City of Westmount, the mayor and seven city councillors for $3 million because she was refused permission to demolish her house.The 17-page lawsuit was filed ear- Lier this month and was served to the city last Friday.The detailed deposition asks the court to nullify the decisions of the demolition committee Sept 29 and the city council Dec 7, alleging they violated the homeowner's rights.The lawsuit also alleges that what Westmount has done amounts to expropriation without compensation.It therefore demands $3 million compensation for the value of the land and the costs incurred by the owner, Annie Kenane.\u201cThe fundamental contention of the lawsuit is that the city treated Mrs Kenane unfairly and treated her application unfairly,\u201d said David Powell, Mrs Kenane's lawyer.Mayor May Cutler declined to comment on the lawsuit but said she sympathized with Mrs Kenane.Mrs Cutler said Westmount is faced with a \u201cgreat dilemma\u201d \u2014 the interests of citizens who want to preserve heritage buildings versus the interests of building owners like Mrs Kenane.Mrs Kenane was denied a permit to demolish the wooden house at 22 Summit because of its value as a heritage property.It is classified 1A in the city\u2019s architectural heritage study released in 1988.\u201cWe are working on a solution that will resolve this situation,\u201d Mrs Cutler said.The situation started Aug 1, 1988, when Mrs Kenane bought the building.According to the lawsuit, Mrs Kenane was assured by the city before she bought the house that she could demolish it.Bruno Di Lenar- do, Westmount\u2019s director of services, reportedly told her that there were Continued on page six Misdemeanor charge laid in fatal accident By LAUREEN SWEENEY A taxi driver has been charged with leaving his cab unattended Jan Police at work on new lead in hit-run death A new lead in the hit-and-run death of Vera Horvat at Olivier avenue and St Catherine street before Christmas \u201clooks good,\u201d police revealed Monday.Efforts are now under way to pursue the new information after one response from an Info Crime reply proved no good, said Constable Luc Desjardins of the MUC\u2019s accident investigation squad.He declined to say how the new information had been obtained.The likelihood of a post office truck being involved has been ruled out, he said.\u201cFor sure it\u2019s not a truck from that station.\u201d Investigators have been working on the theory that the victim, a 50- year-old resident of Longueuil, had either fallen or been knocked to the ground Dec 21 when she was run over by a vehicle, possibly a truck.She was found face down in the street near the post office parking lot and was declared dead after being taken to Montreal General Hospital by Urgences Santé.26 when it rolled backward killing Westmount art gallery owner Elisabeth Lang on Olivier avenue, police said Monday.The misdemeanor charge was laid under article 381 of the highway code.It carries a fine ranging from $30 to $60.Investigator Claude Fournier told: THE EXAMINER after the accident it was not determined whether charges would be laid under the highway code.He said he did not feel criminal code charges of negligence applied.In addition to the charge against the cabbie, the owner of the taxi was ordered to have the 1983 Dodge mechanically inspected under article 699 of the highway code.The taxi rolled backward, pinning the pedestrian against a pickup truck, police confirmed.The cab is reported to have been left at the sidewalk with engine running when the cabbie entered an apartment building to pick up a customer (see story Feb 1).Police said a witness who moved the car away from the woman stated the gear shift had been in reverse.The 75-year-old victim died in hospital less than three hours later, reportedly after going into shock and cardiac arrest.She had sustained severe injuries to the pelvic region.The freak accident occurred only a few feet north of where another woman had been run over and killed Dec 21 in a hit-and-run accident still unsolved (see separate story).INSIDE.m City decides not to buy Darmo's pricey property.B In the Neighborhood: Robert Brinker, litegrocer.BW Westmount goalie Davet named Olympic tournament MVP .B® Dawson literary centre opens to publictoday.Vol.LXII, No.7 FOOD AND TROPHIES: Som (one way or another) are from left, in front, Igor Bastin (relishing the occasion) and Tom Simon.Threatening him with the mustard is Lawrence Moquette with David Beitel and Nicky Yanow beside him.For more coverage of awards night and a complete list of winners, see page 23.Making all of Westmount your home A Westmount, Quebec, Thursday, February 15, 1990 gl?STE i n department's awards night Monday, and enj oyed the food 50g i Photo by OWEN EGAN Shake off the snow.it\u2019s time to carnival! THE biggest, bestest, baddest Westmount Winter Carnival in the history of human kind is finally under way and there's lots of fun for everyone.\u201cDo come and join us for winter fun,\u201d said

things Westmounters can do to recreate themselves during this year\u2019s carnival.The first event on the agenda was to have taken place yesterday evening \u2014 a romantic Valentine's night-skiing trip to St Sauveur.Tonight, there will be a wine and cheese party with music and candlelight at Victoria Hall from 7:30 to 10 pm.Tomorrow, there will be a lasagna dinner and a movie forthe entire family at Victoria Hall.West- mounters can come and see the crowning of the Carnival Queen and King, take a sleigh ride in Westmount Park, warm themselves at a bonfire or skate on the specially designed one-time-only skating rink in front of Victoria Hall.The fun starts at 5:30 pm.A $4 ticket is all it takes to take part in the wine and cheese party, lasagna dinner and movie.\u201cBargains still exist,\u201d Coun Rothman says.THE EXAMINER has learned the identities of this year's carnival King and Queen.They are Gina Knox and Jonathan Stubbs, according to Beverly Adams-Coskun, Westmount's socio-cultural co-or- dinator.Ms Adams-Coskun says eight Queens and five Kings were nominated.Miss Knox, 11, won with 128 votes and Mr Stubbs, 11, won with 117 votes.On Saturday, novice and atom hockey games will take place from 9 am to ! pm at the Westmount Arena.À peewee exhibition hockey game between Westmount and East York Toronto will begin at 1 pm.At 2 pm two N.D.G.teams will demonstrate the game of ringuette.At 2:30 there will be a broomball game.Participants must sign up in advance.There will also be children\u2019s races, a costume parade and a puck-shooting contest at

need legal action Wanted: a property-owner on the south side of St Catherine street at Metcalfe avenue who will come to the rescue of bus users.Since no one has agreed to allow a bus shelter to be installed on private property, the city may have to look into taking legal steps to erect one.The announcement was made at the city council meeting Monday last week when the issue of bus shelters was raised by citizens.Bruce St Louis, city operations manager, said the city has been unable to find a property owner willing to permit installation of a shelter for eastbound bus users.Since the south sidewalk at Met- calfe is narrow, a shelter would have to be built behind the sidewalk.The favored site immediately west of Haines convenience store had been rejected by a building owner last year.Owners of adjacent properties to east and west also refused requests.Citizens also asked why two other shelters have been removed.One at the southeast corner of St Catherine and Glen road disappeared during construction of Westmount Park Towers on the former POM bakery site.Mr St Louis told citizen Don Wedge he will discuss replacement of the shelter at a meeting with the MUCTC planned soon.The other shelter at the southwest corner of Sherbrooke and Metcalfe outside the former RCAFA building was taken down owing to a water ea \u2018Professional Cards Employee Benefits Disability No mid-month session Monday as council meets in private CITY council has decided to forego its mid-month public session which would have taken place Monday.The reason, is too much business to be mulled over in private, according to Mayor May Cutler.Among closed-door items to be tackled by council members is the recent $3-million law suit launched against the city regarding its refusal to allow demolition of 22 Summit crescent (see separate story).Council members also want time to plan their weekend retreat set for Feb 23 at the Chéribourg Hotel near Mount Orford to set long- range plans with department heads under guidance of management consultant George Cuff, former mayor of Spruce Grove, Alberta.The library complex is another item slated for discussion, the mayor said.Estate

few communities in Canada which have been so much in the front lines of the debate and action over bilingualism as Westmount.In the 30 years \u2014 can it be a full generation\u201d \u2014 since the start of the Quiet Revolution our little corner of the country has been the target of bombs, ridicule and clichés, as well as a French immersion pioneer, exodus victim and generally insecure all because of the ongoing clash between the two founding cultures of Canada.We have been and are, it\u2019s not an exaggeration to say, at the centre of the action.But through all of this, or perhaps because of it, we in Westmount are in a particular position to know that it all really can work.We have made it so, Westmounters gated his province's own charter of rights and other Montrealers and Quebecers by enacting Bill 178.who, on a personal level at least and * * * almost always at communal levels as well, have proven that language and cultural differences need not be a barrier but are instead doorways to new and enriching experiences.We all in Westmount know, French and English alike, that we have much more to gain and to achieve by working together than by isolating ourselves.: * * * long-sought goal, as most leaders would?No, we are being treated to leadership by negativism.We are not told what good the passage of the accord will achieve but rather what bad things we will avoid bv embracing it.Those who dare attack it for whatever valid reason are accused of destroying the nation rather than being welcomed as perhaps holding ways of building a better country.Amendments?Impossible, the country would fall apart.Likewise Premier Robert Bourassa has been leading by threats, blackmailing Canadians with \u201cMeech or else\u201d musings.He believed his blackmailing power was strong enough to prevail even if he abro- BOTH so-called leaders have miscalculated the effect of their actions.Mr Mulroney\u2019s lack of direction and vision and Mr Bourassa\u2019s legislative bludgeon have given a clarion call to those on different sides who wish to destroy the trust and respect between French and English which form the very essence of this country Canada.It is time for Mr Mulroney, just once for the sake of the country, to stop playing partisan politics as he did last week and realize that one cannot do that with the cornerstones of nationhood, one of which in Canada is our linguistic duality.Instead that duality must be promoted at every turn and any effort to dampen it \u2014 be it in Quebec, the West or Ontario \u2014 must be BUT NOW we find the fabric by which we felt our country was bound is coming apart.Through the discord on the Meech Lake accord, Bill 178 and declarations of unilingualism we are watching others tear down the mutual respect and understanding between French and English, that we have been working to build these 30 years.Instead of completing our dream squelched.we are lurching towards a national disas- The tragedy of the Mulroney and Bourassa ter.negative approach is that it is all so unnecessary.As is shown in the French immersion classes which have spread from West- mount across the country, most right-thinking Canadians outside Quebec embrace the duality of Canada, just as most Quebecers embrace the notion of their being a fundamental part of Canada.As a people we believe in the basic principles of rights, freedoms and respect for others and yearn for them to be maintained with the greatest vigilance at every turn, in every province.If our leaders would act according to such principles instead of allowing selected exemptions for political purposes, we would not be facing the growing challenges to those principles from others with which we are confronted today.If our leaders won't do it, the right-thinking people of Canada must.It is time to speak out \u2014 loudly \u2014 for a Canada in which consistency breeds tolerance, understanding earns respect and vigilance brings security.There is no other way.The flood is starting now because we have allowed in recent years cracks to develop in what should have been an unbreach- able barrier of principle, the principle being the linguistic duality of the nation and the respect for that duality in all its forms from coast to coast.No exceptions.We lay the blame squarely at the foot of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.A man of political expediency, he always has held the pursuit and preservation of power for its own sake above vision and principle.After more than five years in office we still don't know where he wants to lead the country, but we are starting to fear where we will end up.The greatest evidence is in the Meech Lake accord.He hails this as a great miracle of agreement, but it was achieved simply because he, the vaunted negotiator, gave away the federal store.It was at that moment he abdicated his authority and ability to pursue a national vision.How has he since then been selling his vaunted accord?By convincing Canadi- Thursday, February 15, 1990 rer .ans of its value in taking us toward some _ our Mayor Her Worship May Cutler F says.Whither, O Canada?I NEED your help.For now is the time when all people of goodwill must come to the aid of their country.: - During the past two weeks there have been signs we are careering out of control down a dangerous road that will get narrower and narrower before we crash at the bottom.We must try to turn around while there is still room to manoeuvre.By far the majority of Canadians outside Quebëec want an open Canada, open to all its citizens and particularly to their partner Canadians who speak French just as most Quebecers want a Quebec open to and part of Canada.But each of the voices recently raised provokes a counter stridency, escalating frictions and hardening positions.The dec- .larations of Ontario cities that they are unilingual English are gratuitous and insulting.The dispatch of young people into the streets of Hull in search of English signs is equally deplorable.\u2018The English of Quebec oppose Bill 178 and its restriction on signs because we do not believe you nourish one culture by depriving another.But we do not believe in opposing injustice by counteracting with another injustice.: The only hope for the world is in the acceptance of diversity and the respect for differences.We must ask what kind of world we want.We must always ask whether what we are doing is improving that world, country, province, city, neighborhood \u2014 or making it worse.If everyone in the world did exactly what we are doing, would it be the kind of world human beings can live in, the kind of world we want for our children?The question must be asked repeatedly as we deal with pollution and poverty, as we encourage freedom and dignity.As we hope for peace.In Canada and Quebec the debate is over language.Most of the people in the world speak only one language.That is a fact; it is nothing to be ashamed of but neither is it anything to be proud of.How much better to speak two or 20?Language developed so that human beings could talk to each other, explain themselves and understand others.Its raison d\u2019étre is communication, not isolation.We must foster whatever improves communication.We \u2014 and the world \u2014 must learn to live with complexity and diversity \u2014 where the difference of others is not a threat but an invitation to enrich one's own life.I have seen many political gods fail in my lifetime, but I have also seen good things arise as democracy ceases to mean the tyranny of the majority but also recognition of minorities.As it respects diversity, particularly in this small division known as Canada and in this even smaller division called Quebec.Oh, there have been so many positive things to rejoice in: the growth of religious and racial tolerance, courtesy to immigrants, the freeing of women to be full independent persons, concern for children, the accessibility of education, care of the sick and the elderly.It\u2019s a grand list.Why can we not add linguistic tolerance?I would like to develop a manifesto for those of us who believe in that kind of Canada and that kind of world.Would you care to add your suggestions?y our PSBGM 5 commissioner Joan Rothman says.Revolution in French A REVOLUTION in French teaching is what Mr Kena-Cohen, French department

program costs less than half of one percent of total federal spending.Again, half of one percent is the total amount for the whole federal bilingualism program, including contributions to help the provinces deliver minority language education and services, The new Ontario French language services program entails no costs whatsoever for Ontario municipalities.Moreover, the Ontario government estimates that it will spend about $11 million a year to deliver its new program \u2014 this is about 3/100 of one percent of Ontario\u2019s total spending.Put it another way.The federal bilingualism program costs every Canadian man, woman and child 6 cents per day.The new Ontario program will cost each resident of Ontario three-tenths of a penny per day.Add the federal and Ontario programs and you get 61/3 cents per day for each Ontario resident.- Is an investment of 61/3 cents a day too much to keep our country together?

The program\u2019s approach is one of communication where listening and understanding are stressed.Mr Kena-Cohen, while agreeing with the communication approach, said the program must be adapted for the PSBGM and for each school.He prefers to teach his students how to do something, not to explain why without showing them how! If I know Mr Kena- Cohen he will demand his students to write often and at length in French, while concentrating on grammarand syntax.He isadapt- ing the program to the multicultural needs of the students in WHS.: The Challenge alternative program at WHS started this year at Secondary I and IT.Core subjects are scheduled in the timetable so that all Secondary I students take English at the same time, math at the same time and French at the same time.WHS principal Richard Meades and Mr Kena-Cohen agree that this scheduling allows a student to move from one group to another, depending on ability and grasp of concepts.Thus students can follow a much more individualized program than is available in other schools.Support for students in the Challenge French program comes from peer-tutoring (student to student) from uni- versity-trained federally funded language monitors and volunteer Dawson College students.In language-teaching, human resources, like students helping students, are vitally important but so are inanimate resources.Mr Kena-Cohen has made-to-measure cassettes for use in a Sony Walkman.This he calls an individual language lab.So if you see a student silent and plugged in, they are listening to a lesson on their Walkman.One could even do homework on the way to and from school.I'd like to add that three options are open to Grade 7 students registering at WHS.Post-immersion is open to those who have attended school in immersion elementary.Late immersion is for those who attended English elementary and who wish to immerse themselves in French in Grades 7 and 8.Students of these options will graduate with bilingual certificates.They will be exempted from writing the provincial language exams demanded of all professionals who practice in Quebec.The other option is English where French is taught well, but the reward is a regular high school leaving diploma.Complicated it is, but the result is an exciting program and successful students.For answers to your questions, phone the school and make an appointment.Call 933- 6 - The Westmount Examiner, OWNER.Continued from page one no city regulations which could stop her from demolishing the building if the plans for a new building are approved by the city\u2019s Architectural and Planning Commission.At that time there was no West- mount demolition by-law and therefore no demolition committee.Mrs Kenane's architects submitted five different plans until one was finally accepted July 3, 1989, nearly one year after Mrs Kenane bought the house and days after West- mount's demolition by-law came into effect.According to the lawsuit, Mrs Kenane showed good faith and bent over backwards to meet the city\u2019s demands, incurring extra costs while the city showed bad faith towards her.Complied with requests The city had asked that the new building not obstruct the view from Belvedere even though there was no zoning regulation that required Mrs Kenane to do so.Mrs Kenane obliged, incurring extra costs.The lawsuit also alleges the city asked her to move the stone mansion designed by Westmount architect Bruce Anderson, director of McGill University\u2019s school of architecture, and a garage a few feet north on to public property but then denied Mrs Kenane a construction permit because her plans called for building on public property.The lawsuit also claims Mr Di Lenardo told Mrs Kenane the new demolition committee would probably not reject Mrs Kenane's request because Councillor Stuart Robertson, the chairman of the committee and a member of the A&P Commission, said he was in favor of her request.On Sept 18 the A&P Commission Thursday, 1990 recommended the building be demolished.On Sept 29 the demolition committee rejected Mrs Kenane's demolition request.Only Councillor Rhoda Vineberg dissented.On Dec 7 Westmount city council voted 4-2 to reject Mrs Kenane's appeal, with Councillor Daniel Tingley joining Mrs Vineberg in voting against.Mr Robertson was absent.The lawsuit alleges the decisions of the committee and the council were illegal because the request for demolition was legally submitted to the A&P Commission several months before Westmount's new demolition by-law came into effect June 22, 1989.Therefore the demolition committee had no jurisdiction to rule on Mrs Kenane\u2019s request.February 15, Changed the rules Mr Powell says the city simply changed the rules of the game on Mrs Kenane.The lawsuit further alleges that the city illegally slowed the whole process.It claims the A&P Commission illegally refused to rule on a request for demolition in order to wait for the demolition by-law to come into effect.Coun Robertson said the delays were at the request of citizens who wanted changes.The lawsuit says the actions of certain councillors also violated Mrs Kenane\u2019s rights and therefore rendered the council's decision illegal.Councillor Paul Fortin heard none of the arguments in Mrs Kenane\u2019s case, the lawsuit alleges, yet voted against her appeal in council Dec 7 while Coun Robertson, who heard all the arguments, was absent from council that night and didn't vote.The lawsuit says this violated the rules of natural justice.Mr Powell compared Mr Robertson to a judge who doesn't show up: on the day he is supposed to make a decision.Mr Robertson told THE EXAM- rec: 485-1121 AN DY DODG

says that Councillor Sally Aitken, a member of the demolition committee, was not impartial because she met with architect Michael Fish before a meeting and told him the building should not be demolished.Mr Powell said that when someone is acting as a judge, as was Ms Aitken, they should be impartial.Unreasonable decisions The lawsuit says the decisions of the demolition committee and the council were \u201cirrational and unreasonable\u201d and are therefore null and void.Those decisions deprive Mrs Kenane of the right to free enjoyment of her property.The lawsuit also alleges the decisions of the demolition committee and the city council contain a flagrant factual error \u2014 that the price of restoring the house would be about the same as building a new one.The lawsuit claims it would cost more to restore the old house and that, as a result, the decision of the city is null and void because of a total absence of proof for the city's contention.The lawsuit also alleges West- mount does not have the power to prohibit the demolition of houses identified on the city's heritage study because Westmount never enacted a by-law enabling them to do that, as required by the Cities and Towns Act.\u201cIn this case the City of West- mount has not given itself the authority to do what it has to do,\u201d Mr Powell said.Mr Powell said the Westmount\u2019s heritage study, which identified more than 390 homes, has no legal status.He said no property owner received a formal notice that his house is included in such a study or was told of the implications.And because there is no by-law, there is no public process, which he says is unfair to property owners.Unfair to owners Councillor Daniel Tingley, when he voted against upholding the no- demolition decision Dec 7, also said the by-law was unfair to property owners.\u201cThe demolition by-law makes no provision for any compensation in circumstances where the denial of a demolition permit is tantamount to the expropriation of certain property rights.In this context the by-law may be deficient,\u201d he said Dec 7.Mrs Kenane's lawyers sent the city a letter Feb 1, asking it to annul the decision of the demolition committee and the city council.After they received no reply, the lawsuit was served.\u201cAs far as we're concerned, the ball is in the city's court,\u201d Mr Powell

thefts has officials baffled By LAUREEN SWEENEY Police and city officials are out to catch thieves who have been emptying Westmount parking meters with the ease of regular meter collectors.More than $2,500 in coin was estimated to have been stolen since the racket was first detected three weeks ago in the Tupper street area.It has since spread like a virus throughout metered streets.Since the end of last week, however, when a concerted effort was mounted to sniff out those responsible, the thefts appear to have come to a sudden stop.\u201cWe'll do whatever it takes to catch these guys,\u201d said city operations manager Bruce St Louis Friday.Local MUC police Captain Luc St Ongesaid police are investigating all aspects, including people previously arrested for similar offences in Montreal as well as the possibility of an inside job.No other meters are being broken into in the MUC at present, police said.The Westmount thieves are using either copies of city keys or ones made themselves and have even hacked off a meter head apparently for access to the locking mechanism, police said.By the end of last week, when the city ran out of spare coin cylinders to replace stolen ones, thieves began putting back cylinders they had previously stolen and emptied, probably so they could steal them again next time around.Not worth it It would cost the city about $80,000 to change the locks in all 800 meters, Mr St Louis said.This would probably be futile since the locks are not particularly sophisticated.A homemade key, twisted out of shape, was found in a lock of one rifled meter on Wood avenue last Thursday.It was stuck in the lock and apparently had to be abandoned.Police say catching the thieves isn\u2019t as simple as it might seem since sion and is not about to wait another inordinate amount of time for another one.But he said his client is open to solutions \u201cwhich are viable to her\u201d Mrs Cutler said a lengthy court case would help no one.It would cost the taxpayers a lot of money and Mrs Kenane still would have to wait for her house.Mr Powell said the house remains vacant and Mrs Kenane, also a lawyer, has rented other accommodations for her family.Mr Powell advised his client not to comment on the lawsuit.they can easily be mistaken for park- ers standing at a meter.Two keys are required to get at the money: one to open the money chamber from the outside to permit removal of the coin cylinder; another to open the cylinder itself.When the meters are emptied on the road, however, the meter attendant uses only the one key required to open the money chamber.After removing the cylinder he is able to eject its coins into his locked money cart via a built-in key device.He cannot gain access to the money in the process.Another city employee in the finance department is custodian of the key which opens the sealed cart.The money is bagged and taken away by a security firm to be counted.In theory no one person has access to both keys.Key control measures call for old and bent keys to be locked up while keys used for meter maintenance do not open the money chamber, Mr St Louis explained.Meters emptied by thieves between Jan 25 and Feb 9 are located on Tupper street, in the Tupper lot, the Greene lot, on Wood, de Maison- neuve, Sherbrooke in front of Dawson College and on Somerville as well as Victoria.Police find open houses Police found at least three West- mount homes left insecure over the past week when they responded to activated alarm systems, officials said.A garage was found unlocked at a Claremont avenue home last Thursday.A key was left in a door on Kitchener Saturday and a back door had been left open Sunday on Belmont.None of the homes was reported to have been burgled.FIRST CLASS COMMERCIAL OFFICE AND

i ' RL aa to By LAUREEN SWEENEY A proposal to turn Darmo's auto body shop into a municipal parking lot for the Sherbrooke- Victoria shopping area has been scrapped for the time being, THE EXAMINER learned last Thursday.The city is now seeking to work out a non-binding agreement with the owner of the Somerville avenue property that will give Westmount first option to purchase it at a later date, Councillor Stuart Robertson said.The idea that Westmount might buy the property was revealed by a neighbor concerned the city might expropriate five feet off Prince Albert yards backing onto the property to build a parking lot.But the city is not interested in buying the land for the $750,000 sought by owner Albert Darmo, Coun Robertson explained.\u201cIt\u2019s now a dead issue.We've shelved the idea.\u201d Property and buildings are evaluated for tax purposes at $340,600.Mr Darmo told THE EXAMINER he has no interest in selling the property cheaply.The two-generation business has been at the site since 1949 and he would relocate only if the price were right.Met with owner Coun Robertson, who represents the ward, met to discuss possible purchase of the property after learning Mr Darmo had offered it to a building owner on Victoria.\u201cI thought we should be in on the talking so as not to miss an opportunity,\u201d he explained.Coun Robertson said his first step was to convene a meeting Jan 23 of Prince Albert property owners whose yards back onto the Darmo property between Somerville and Sherbrooke.Of the nine involved, six attended but the views of eight were expressed.Suggested options The following options for the future were raised, he said: ¢ Continued use of the property as a body shop; ; « Use by the city as a very expensive little park; » Use by city to build a lane; * Purchase by residents to extend their properties; or, \\ » To create a 27-car parking lot accessible by two lanes running east-west and north-south.Residents were reported to be unenthusiastic about a parking lot, fearing increased traffic.They apparently didn't oppose the idea of a lane.They held their own block meeting the next week to further discuss the issue.Since Mr Darmo has refused to reduce his price the matter is now a non-issue, Coun Robertson said.\u201cMr Darmo holds the cards.\u201d He confirmed that a parking lot plan drawn up by the city\u2019s services department calls for expropriation of a five-foot width from some back yards to create a 12-foot north-south lane.\u201cWe wouldn't want to expropriate in a heavy-handed way but it could be done if for the greater good of the people.\u201d Mr Robertson said his main concern is that Mr Darmo might sell the LA MAISON DU PRINTEMPS SILK PLANTS TREES ® FLOWERS COMMERCIAL e RESIDENTIAL Tues, Wed,

SOHERVAILLE- One proposal prepared by the city for possible use of the Darmo property as a municipal parking lot shows 27 spaces along the east side.Another suggested version called for parking along the west side of the property with creation of a north-south lane along the east side.This would requires expropriation of five to seven feet of Prince Albert avenue back yards to the north.Woman leaps six storeys to her death A flotilla of emergency vehicles converged at Sherbrooke and Metcalfe Tuesday about 7:21 pm after a woman was reported to have jumped off the balcony of the sixth- storey apartment at 4444 Sherbrooke where she lived.Police said the 42-year-old woman died of her injuries.She had been moving slightly when found lying on a grassy portion near the sidewalk on Sherbrooke.The woman was taken to Royal Victoria Hospital by Urgences Santé.No signs of foul play were evident, police said.The woman, who had been seen walking a dog earlier in the day, lived alone.She was described as very depressed.broker The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 15, 1990 - 7 0's pricey property Since the idea has been put on the back burner for now, a letter to Mr Darmo seeking the right of first refusal was being drawn up Friday, confirmed Bruce St Louis, manager of operations for the city.Middle of the block The long, narrow parcel of land has 10,394 square feet.It is sandwiched between the backyards of properties on Victoria and Prince Albert, extending north from So- merville almost a block deep to the backs of buildings on Sherbrooke.According to Bruno Di Lenardo, director of services for the city, the property could be divided to permit construction of two single-family dwellings.Mr Darmo told THE EXAMINER its rezoning to residential property some years ago had been to his disadvantage.He said he had been considering a move to Ontario where body shops can get $30 to $35 an hour.Ge ® Registered condominiums ® 3-bedroom townhomes ® Main

Dallegret, 357 Prince Albert, who asked what use could be made of the property.City attorney Kevin Donovan determined its acquired rights as a body shop could be sold.Possible purchase by the city was brought up by Coun Sally Aitken whoasked ifthecity had \u201csomeright of first refusal.\u201d When a citizen from the audience asked why the city would want to buy the property, the answer given was

Councillor Peter Trent assured the Westmount Finance Action Committee Monday last week he will scrutinize Westmount's 1990 municipal budget and delve into previous years.The city\u2019s new finance commissioner announced his intent after taking his place at the city council table following his election by acclamation Jan 16 as ward 2 representative.He told the citizens\u2019 finance committee he is sympathetic to its position and finds some of the things it stands for make sense.\u201cYou can be sure I'll be on top of Beemer bummer Someone caused $4,000 damage to a car parked overnight

Westmount property owners explaining its position with regard to the cost of the municipal operation.The letter is scheduled to go out next week.Alarmed at expenses Mr Benard told city council the finance group is seriously alarmed by the tabling of several major expenses in the 1990 budget.\u201cThese new services proposed under the guise of citizens\u2019 requests completely disregard the fact that Westmounters already, in every area, spend more (per capita) than most other municipalities in the province and probably Canada.\u201d He said Westmounters are entitled to the best administration and the best value for their dollar.\u201cThese two priorities are not impossible nor incompatible.\u201d Interestingly, Coun Trent who was vice president for finance of the Westmount Municipal Association (WMA) in 1982, took a similar position at the time of the tax revolt.Mr Benard\u2019s committee evolved from the same WMA finance committee after the election of Mayor May Cutler who encouraged the start of citizen advisory committees.Mr Benard has stated over the past year at city council meetings that the work and advice of his committee goes unheeded by the city.Night

solved by police with the arrest of two young N.D.G.men last week after a lengthy investigation, police said Monday.One is a former Westmounter.The pair, aged in their early twenties, appeared in court Wednesday last week, Feb 7, charged with breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods and conspiracy.One was detained and the other released pending trial.Both are known to police.Eight of the 11 burglaries occurred in Westmount, all involving business machines such as fax, computers and laser printers.Most were stolen in December from an office at 320 Victoria avenue as well as in a series of break-ins at the Royal Trust and Royal LePage offices at 4143 and 4145 Sherbrooke (at Mount Pleasant), police said.Coffee machines were rifled of coin.In addition, the two non-West- mount break-ins took place on Sherbrooke streét in N.D.G.and in St Laurent.Close to $30,000 in equipment has already been recovered, police said.In addition to the two accused of breaking and entering, an older man was earlier charged with possession of stolen goods.He lived at Sherbrooke and Victoria (see story last week).Sergeant Detective René Purtell said a breakthrough in the investigation came three weeks ago with recovery of the some of the machines in an office downtown (see story Feb 1).A businessman living on the South Shore also was arrested but released without charges.The stolen machines were reported to have been sold through a young Westmount man to his father.The items were eventually bought by allegedly unsuspecting businessmen.The two accused of breaking and entering were arrested Tuesday last week on Prud'homme avenue in N.D.G.at 1:15 pm.New kid on council to be next pro-mayor Councillor Peter Trent took his place at the city council table Monday last week, expressing concern for the tax burden homeowners will carry when the valuation freeze is defrosted in 1992.He also said he will do his best to improve management decisions in the city.Coun Trent was elected to council - by acclamation Jan 16 to fill the ward 2 vacancy.He was appointed pro- mayor for March, April, May and June in any absence of Mayor May Cutler.He was also named the city's alternate delegate to the MUC and Conference of Montreal Suburban Mayors for the same period.The appointments are held in alphabetical order by each councillor.They are held to the end of this month by Coun Daniel Tingley.\u201cYou just fit nicely into the alphabet,\u201d Coun Rhoda Vineberg told Mr Trent.Her turn follows in July.On a more permanent basis, Mr Trent was appointed city council's

PRE pe rt ped FAN b= FN NT Bebe com \u2014 ns AY bf Pe gy ee bred BN Bird society protests changes on summit By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI A provincial bird society has sent a letter to the city of Westmount asking it to leave Summit Park in upper Westmount alone in the wake of suggestions for a kiddy park in the area.\u201cWe submit that less management is better and we do not support any encroachment such as a kiddy park on any part of the summit or its contiguous green spaces,\u201d states the letter from the Province of Quebec Society for the Protection of Birds Inc.Several Westmounters are members of the society.City councillor for the ward, Rhoda Vineberg, says some citizens along Belvedere have asked for a kiddy park in the area and a site on the Oakland avenue side of Summit Circle has been considered.But there has been some opposition from residents of Oakland avenue who are not keen on seeing cars parked along their street, Mrs Vineberg said.\u201cWe're not going to put a park there if there's a lot of objections,\u201d she said.She also said there will be a minimum of intervention in Summit Park.The city is planning some work at Summit Park and has commmis- sioned a landscape architect to study what to do, said Ed MeCavour, manager of corporate services.According to city documents, the city will approach the problem with a strategy of \u201cminimal physical intervention, compatible with maintaining and increasing the range of wildlife and vegetation.\u201d The site has deteriorated because of natural erosion, says one report.Some paths have to be renovated while some are to be closed.Some tree roots have also been exposed because of the erosion of earth.Portions of the park will be closed in 1990 as some of the contract work is carried out.Elsie Mitchell, a member of the bird society and writer and broadcaster about birds, says the park is a natural bird sanctuary and one of the hottest spots for birds in Canada.\u201cThis is a most marvelous spot for birds,\u201d Mrs Mitchell said.Mrs Mitchell says if Westmount wants to do anything to the park they should plant more trees.She said the tangles of undergrowth provide protection for the birds.According to the bird society, bird watchers can see many tupe of birds at the park including in spring, flycatchers, thrushes, vireos and warblers.Migrating birds that can be seen at the park include bald eagles, turkey vultures, osprey, northern harriers and red-tailed hawks among many other species.Citizens quiz council about PCB information By LAUREEN SWEENEY Any future finds of PCBs in West- mount will be made public immediately, citizens were assured at the RRSPs RRIFs | and Annuities Choose from over 50 Life Insurance and Trust Companies Top interest rates Call John A.Archer 031-9415 A ARCHER DESORMEAU ANNUITY & RRIF BROKERS 1827 Baile street Montreal H3H 1P5 city council meeting Monday last week.Bruce St Louis, the city\u2019s manager of operations, confirmed open-door policies dating back to 1985 when it was determined by council that citizens should be informed of all locations of PCBs.This was deemed especially important for those living or working at such locations.The issue was raised again last week by Ramzi Ferahian after it was revealed by Mr St Louis two weeks earlier that PCB-contaminated transformers had been discovered \" last September at 6 Weredale Park and 215 Redfern avenue (see story Feb 1).Mr Ferahian asked why Mr St Louis had said at the Dec 18 council meeting that no new PCBs had been found in replying to a question by himself.Mr St Louis said he thought those had been made known by the fire department at the time since he had taken steps to ensure that all fire reports regarding PCBs were to be made accessible to THE EXAMINER.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 15, 1990 - 9 Mayor inquires: who goes first at 4-way stop?Who has the right ot way at a four- way stop?The driver who gets to the intersection first, said MUC police after the matter was raised at the city council meeting Monday last week.If a pedestrian is about to cross, however, all the cars or bicycles must yield, explains Sergeant Hubert Rodrigue, who heads the traffic squad at local MUC station 23.The right-of-way at a four-way stop becomes more complicated when drivers are uncertain who was there first.No mention is made of this situation under article 370 of the highway code which governs four-way-stops, Sgt Rodrigue says.\u201cThe safety way to prevent an accident in this situation is to apply the general dictum that the driver of the right has the right of way.\u201d This is laid out in article 402 of the code which states that at any intersection, unless otherwise signed, traffic must yield tothe driveron the right.The issue was brought up at the council meeting by Mayor May Cutler after council approved installation of stop signs on Shorncliffe at Surrey Gardens creating a four-way stop.\u201cHow do you know who goes first?\u201d asked the mayor, who does not drive.Councillor Rhoda Vineberg then requested increased stop sign enforcement saying she feared the new signs would only be two new ones for people to ignore.Coun Paul Fortin, public safety commissioner, said MUC police enforcement would be requested.PERSONAL FINANCIAL PLANNING \u2018on CF Cable TV \u2014 Channel 9 Tuesday, February 20 at

sweet, it\u2019s tasty, it\u2019s butterscotch.It\u2019s no more nor less than any other hard sweet tasty butterscotch candy.Wrong.It's less.The average hard sweet tasty butterscotch candy runs in the 25 to 30 calorie range, says Mr Brinker \u201cThat's just 14 calories.\u201d At that, it's one of the more calo- rie-laden candies in a store where the bottom end is 3 calories.The store caters not only to weight watchers but also to people on special diets \u2014 low sugar, low salt, low cholesterol, low gluten etc.\u201cWe know the difference between low-cal and sugar-free,\u201d Mr Brinker says.\u201cThey can be mutually exclusive.\u201d 4 Too true.The almond buttercrun- ch candies are sugar-free but pack a 92-calorie wallop.The icy peppermints are sugar-sweetened and loaded with a

\u2014 oat bran, bulgur wheat, English muffins, rye, Italian, raisin, oat and fibre, hot dog and hamburger buns, crackers, pretzels and tortilla chips.\u201cThe only dangerous part,\u201d Mr Brinker says seriously, \u201cis people will overeat \u2014 that defeats the purpose.\u201d He tells of one customer who returned after buying a 40-calorie loaf of raisin bread.He was clearly unhappy.He had found the bread so tasty, he'd eaten the whole loaf in one sitting.Mr Brinker tells of another customer, a young woman, who was distressed by her parents\u2019 being overweight.She told him she was afraid for their health.She bought several loaves of bread despite Mr Brinker\u2019s suggesting she find out first whether her parents would like it.When she returned later to buy more, she said she had simply transferred the bread into \u2018\u2018regular\u201d bread wrappers.Her parents hadn't known they were eating low-cal.And they had found the bread delicious.Mr Brinker runs the store for its owner, his wife, a nursing supervisor at Reddy Memorial Hospital.\u201cShe's the brains behind the brawn,\u201d he says.A change of employ Mr Brinker, born and raised in Montreal, was in the heating and air conditioning business for many years.He had his own business in Ahuntsic which he sold two years ago.He and his wife and their two daughters lived in Town of Mount Royal until about 10 years ago when they moved to Westmount.\u201cMy wife used to come up from Florida with low-calorie candies,\u201d Mr Brinker says.Each time she returned from the U.S., she brought more low-calorie products.Lite D\u2019lites opened in the Old Post Office in September 1988.\u201cI opened with the thought one of my daughters would take it on \u2014 she was having difficulty finding a job.\u201d Fate being what it is, his daughter found a job.And moved to Toronto where her sister is also resident.So Mr Brinker manages the store full time.He says he likes to fill in his free time, what there is of it, with skiing, tennis, theatre, classical music and the ballet.He used to travel a lot in his old business.\u201cEurope, the Middle East, Africa.I used to travel 100,000 miles a year on business.Since starting this, I travel in the U.S.only.\u201d Buying trips Those trips are to shop for stock forthe store.His last buying trip was to Philadelphia in the fall.This spring he's going off to the west coast.Most of the products sold in the store come from the U.S.\u201cWe'd gladly buy here,\u201d he says frankly, \u201cwe'd make more money.\u201d But, he says, the products simply are not available in Canada.One caveat for the \u201clight\u201d shopper.Approach with caution any bin, barrel or box in Lite D\u2019lites which does not indicate the contents are low-cal or sugar-free or otherwise dietarily noteworthy.There are dangerous fattening foods lurking in the distant recesses of the store.There\u2019s a bridge mix which radiates high-calorie energy.Approach too

Liberal riding association to name Cosgrove president William Cosgrove, the defeated Liberal candidate for Westmount in the last provincial election, is expected to be elected president of the local Liberal riding association at a meeting tonight, a party official said.Otto Cleyn, the outgoing president, said Mr Cosgrove is assured the position since no other candidate applied for the job.Last Friday was the deadline.Mr Cosgrove said in a telephone interview from Washington Monday night that he is becoming president to keep in touch with the community.Hesaid late last year that he hopes to be the Liberal candidate again in the next Quebec election.\u201cI felt that it would be a good thing for me to do to keep in touch with the people of the riding,\u201d he said.He said he wants to understand and better reflect local issues through the riding association.Mr Cleyn said he is delighted that Mr Cosgrove will be president.He said it is somewhat unusual for an announced candidate in the next election to be president of the riding association as well.Mr Cosgrove said the term of the president is for two years only and by the time he officially becomes a candidate again he would no longer be president.Mr Cosgrove left his job as the vice-president of the World Bank in Washington to run as a candidate here in the last provincial election.CLEANING residential and commercial B&D BABIJ & DUGGAN cleaning contractors inc.4253 St.Catherine St.W., Suite 3 By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI He was defeated by the Equality Party candidate, Richard Holden.A Monenco v-p Mr Cosgrove is now a vice-presi- dent at Monenco, a Montreal-based conglomerate of several companies involved with mining, thermal electrical projects and project management.- He has moved into a Marlowe avenue home in N.D.G., just beyond Westmount\u2019s border but within the riding, It was implied by some during the last election that Mr Cosgrove was parachuted into the riding and was completely out of touch with provincial and local issues.Mr Cosgrove says his election defeat has not changed his reasons for returning to Quebec \u2014 *'to be part of the life of the province at a political level.\u201d Mr Cosgrove said he is disappointed with Sault Ste Marie's recent decision to declare English its official language but doesn\u2019t necessarily see it as a rejection of Quebec.\u201cIt\u2019s just part of a natural human reaction to what is going on,\u201d he said.Mr Cosgrove said he still does not support Bill 178.\u201cI don\u2019t find it acceptable at all,\u201d he said.But he said that at the same time he understands francophone concern for the future of their culture and that those fears must be assuaged somehow.He said anglophones are Quebecers too and should not be seen as a threat to francophones.He still supports the Meech Lake agreement.He said it is but one step in the process of the evolution of the country\u2019s Constitution.\u201cMeech Lake is just another step in that evolutionary process.It\u2019s clear that it wasn't finished.We have to continue that process.\u201d Also to be elected at the West- heating conversions, security lighting, alarm systems, residential and commercial electrical repairs, modifications and new installations.933-1935 mount Liberal riding meeting at 7:30 Better electrical work our current affair!

The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 15, 1990 Dramatis Personae has a hit in evening spent with poetry As it was the second time that Dramatis Personae and their audience had experienced Fun with poetry, people arrived for Sunday evening\u2019s event at Victoria Hall as though they had been regularly attending for years and years.They were obviously comfortable with the idea of selecting poems for readings and directing their dramatic presentation.À couple were even fairly calm when their own compositions were dissected and discussed.And the audience expected to chat over tea and coffee in the break.They did get a bit excited about the cookies, heart-shaped in honor of the sentiment of the occasion, which was for reading love poetry.The second evening of Fun with poetry was different from the first in some respects.Though the audience all seemed to be old hands, it had nearly doubled in number.The first evening had been of favorite poems, this had the theme of love, from the Roman poet Catullus to the present (though it was obvious that most were fairly cynical about the concept of true love).The performers had great fun with a saying of American comedian Phy- 1lis Diller: \u201cNever go to bed mad \u2014 stay up and fight.\u201d That was pretty much the mood of the evening.The work of two Westmount poets, historian Alice Lighthall (To my husband, Samuel de Champlain) and Una Wardleworth (Metamorphosis, dealing with the old telephone exchange at Metcalfe and Sherbrooke changing into the RCAFA building) The Treasure Hunt se nu x Ga © ny $ ç Ey is moving!

it mocks the pretensions of society and criticizes its materialism.For the production by the drama and theatre students of McGill's English department, director Patrick Neilson has transposed the play to the Edwardian era, losing none of the humor and making the play visually interesting; the costumes (by Catherine Bradley) are attractive and eye-catching.He has also cast a number of wom- TRY US ONCE, WE GUARANTEE YOU'LL BE BACK!

say, \u2018You're a gi-i-irl\u2019 So I just say, \u2018So you're a gu-u-uy.\u201c She said sometimes when it\u2019s time to shake hands, opposing players won't shake hers because \u2018she\u2019s a

floor, huddle in corners or lean against the wall.They cluster in pairs or groups of three.They concentrate mightily as they read or are read to.There is a constant low hum of voices.These are The Study's Grade 2 students reading to The Study\u2019s kindergarten students.They have done this every Friday since early in the school year.The two classes combine in the kindergarten room.From 11:30 until noon they work in pairs or the occasional threesome.Kindergarten teacher Margaret Lincoln and Grade 2 teacher Barbara Phillips move about the room, supervising where necessary.For the most part, the children seem to know the pattern and to be enjoying themselves enough that intervention is rarely needed.The Grade 2 student joins her partner at their assigned spot in the room.She then reads a story she has chosen to the younger child.The book may be one they have had in By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN class, a favorite from home or drawn from the reading shelves in the kindergarten room.The younger child follows the story, looks at the pictures and begins to.realize that she too may be able to do this reading stuff.Keeping a record \u201cThen there is an activity, the shared reading journal,\u201d says Ms Phillips, displaying a prepared sheet with space for a picture and some writing.\u201cThe Grade 2 student writes the title and author of the book, and the date.The kindergarten student draws a picture of her favorite part of the story.Then the Grade 2 writes what the kindergartner wants as a caption.\u201d Any extra time is spent looking at the book just read or another.The kindergartner will try to pick out letters or words, or may tell the story in her own words.Both teachers report the students entrance requirements.grades 9, 10, 11 only.now being

reading time with great eagerness.And the older children have taken a proprietary interest in their young prote- gées.\u201cThey've become very attached,\u201d Ms Phillips says.One kindergarten child was seriously injured recently and will not be returning to school for some time.Her reading partner was very upset.\u201cWe brought up the problem in class,\u201d Ms Phillips says.The children came up with solutions.The older child hasbeen invited to join another group and she will make tapes to send to her friend in hospital.Gill Allen, director of the junior school, says the program has been so successful she hopes to expand it next year to include Grade 1 students.Ms Phillips says she had read about shared reading programs and put the notion to Ms Lincoln.They drew up a list of goals and began the program in the fall.They say the effects have been very positive.\u201cIt has enhanced self-esteem in both groups,\u201d Ms Lincoln says.\u201cIn terms of skills, it gives the motivation to read.\u201d \u2018\u2019They\u2019re learning the love of reading and of books,\u201d Miss Phillips says.In this the International Year of Literacy, what better love to learn?Students from Grade 2 and kindergarten at The Study share the pleasure of reading.Local and global linked in essay challenge The topic for the annual West- mount essay competition for school children was announced last week by

literacy program has been in existence since 1984.A seed grant Wonderful, By RAJDEEP GILL Westmount High School held its annual winter carnival last week.The event was organized by the WHS student council with activities start- - ing on Monday and lasting through Thursday.The carnival got its start with the crowning of the royal family Monday afternoon, after the votes had been counted for each nominee.The king was grade 9 student William McMillan and the queen was grade 9 student Marian Arkvarn.The prince and princess were both grade 7 students, Paul Labonte and Charmaine Jackson.There was also a special pizza lunch that day.Tuesday was the day the teachers and students got to show their ath- WESTON SCHOOL ALUMNI You are invited to THE OFFICIAL OPENING of our new building March 1st at

according to literature from the program, is \u201clinking, informing, and teaching those committed to increasing levels of literacy in the schools, the workplace and the community.\u201d By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN Housed in Dawson College, the centre consists of a reception area with an array of publications on various aspects of literacy, a resource room with further publications and reference works, and the offices of the director, Linda Shohet, and associate director Gordon Peffer.The wild and wacky: WHS holds winter carnival letic abilities.After eating a Chinese lunch students selected\u2018 by a draw were off to play the teachers in a grudge match volleyball game.Though the students say they did their best, the teachers proved to be just too much and won two of three matches.- No hard feelings though \u2014 the students say they are already preparing for next year.The excitement picked up again after school when the grade 10s battled the grade lls on the football field in a frostball game that ended in a tie.The Montreal Junk Food Lunch, complete with hot dog, May West, chips and soft drink for $2 was on the menu for Wednesday.This meal was prepared by the student council who got out of class at recess to do so.They also helped the teachers serve the lunch because the cafeteria staff, under school board regulations, is not allowed to serve non-nutritious meals.The entertainment at lunch was L'École internationale de Montréal opened its doors in 1988.The school welcomes students at the preschool, elementary and secondary levels.This French school also features a bilingual sector at the secondary level for students who are temporary residents in Québec as well as those students who are admissible for English schooling.The school has three major goals: = to permit students whose parents are temporary residents of Québec to attend a school adapted to their linguistic and cultura) needs; to promote the learning of foreign languages in an international setting; to foster international humanism.OBJECTIVES provided by an all-star basketball game in which the teachers played the all stars from the school basketball teams.This time out, the students ended up on top, and though prizes were not handed out to the winning team, everyone who participated in any of the sports events was given a chocolate bar.Once again this year, during the carnival the prefects held their Prefect Pennyfair in the cafeteria after school.This gave the students an opportunity to enter pie-eating contests, Jello slurping, balloon shaving, pillow fighting and many other such activities.The main attraction at the fair, however, was the sponge toss.This is where the students got to throw wet sponges at student life co-ordinator Dave Mills and one of the head prefects, Adam Goldberg.One Grade 7 student, Colin Danby, got so much pleasure out of hitting them and getting them back for everything they had done that he threw more than 50 sponges.Quite an expensive pastime at 10 cents a shot, but in his opinion well worth it.Other places To end off the winter carnival Thursday was left as an activity day, where students had the choice of doing one of several in- or out-of- school activities.This included going to the Recréathéque, going tobogganing and cross-country skiing at Mount Royal, going downhill skiing at Mont St-Sauveur, or going snow sliding at Mont Avila.For students who wished to stay at school there was skating, movies, badminton and several other activities.CLIENTELE «children of parents from foreign countries in temporary residence in Québec; « children of Quebecers anticipating employment in other countries; « Québec children who wish to pursue their studies in an international setting.Please note: Since a portion of the services offered are not included in the regular teaching program, an annual fee of 600 $ is in effect for students at the secondary level.A few places are still available at the Secondary I and Secondary II levels.To obtain our brochure and a registration form, please contact Mr.Jean-Pierre Drolet, principal, l'École internationale de Montréal, at (514) 596-5721.bes fool CATHOUQUES DE MONTRÉAL new offices make quite a change from the old Selby campus location.Ms Shohet was head of Dawson's literacy program, Literacy Across the Curriculum (LAC).In a newsletter article she says the original plan was to address the issue of literacy within the college, However, as one of the first programs of its kind in Canada and the only one in Quebec, it \u201cevolved into a centre of professional development activities for teachers in the entire English secondary and post-secondary system of Quebec.\u201d Now the intention is to provide seminars and workshops for teachers and administrators and any others involved in promoting and supporting literacy in schools, the workplace and the broader community.A further goal is the development of a corps of teachers who can work with other teachers at integrating literacy teaching into all school subjects.\u201cAs far as | know)\" she says, \u201cthere isn't another place in the city that has the resources we

The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 15, 1990 Alert young police officers detected fire, saved occupant One of the more heart-warming aspects of a fire or other disaster is the human-interest stories of people helping people which often emerge in the aftermath.One such incident occurred during the blaze last Wednesday, Feb 7, that swept through a large detached home under renovation at 322 Met- calfe avenue within minutes of its detection about 2:24 am.It is the story of two young MUC police constables, Marianne Rivest and Yves Methot, who discovered the fire about 2:20 am (see story last week).They also managed to lead the lone occupant of the burning home to safety.Only four months ago the same two were accorded letters of appreciation from police officials for their discovery of a fire at 3837 St Jacques street and subsequent rescue of residents.\u201cThese are two dedicated young officers who patrol with an eye for every disturbance in their neighbor- By LAUREEN SWEENEY hood,\u201d said Director Pierre Vézina.Their rescue efforts on Metcalfe were not widely known at the fire scene even by firefighters who simply knew the occupant was safely outside.Even the next day, after questioning the occupant who spoke little English or French, fire investigators announced only that he appeared to have been saved by a smoke detector.Constables found resident But police officials looking into the incident Monday stated that constables Rivest and Methot found the 28-year-old man in the back of the burning house.He was nervous, panicking and unwilling to leave until he found his shoes.The two had been led to the home by a heavy odor of smoke in the neighborhood and found smoke issuing from the eaves.They parked their cruiser outside with the siren wailing to alert occupants.They then entered the house shouting \u201cFire! Fire!\u201d and proceeded upstairs on hearing screams.When they realized the cries came from downstairs they returned and found a man in a back room looking for his shoes.They said they had to take him by the arm to lead him outside, covering their mouths with their scarves.Since they could not leam from the man whether anyone else was inside, a second attempt was made to find victims inside.Heavy smoke on the upper levels made this impossible and they backed out as firefighters arrived.Dir Vézina attributed their actions and discovery of two fires to sharp observation and initiative rather then sheer luck.Cst Rivest was among the group of recruits sworn in to the MUC force in a ceremony at Victoria Hall Jan 24, 1989.She was immediately assigned to station 23.Cause of Metcalfe blaze remains mystery Last week's overnight fire at 332 Metcalfe avenue broke out in the attic area, probably accidentally, fire officials determined this week.Its cause, though still a mystery, is believed to be related to extensive renovation work at the million-dol- lar home, investigator Hugh Clarke said this week.Efforts to pinpoint how the fire started early last Wednesday have been hampered by the heavy char of the interior and cave-in of the roof and attic.No propane heaters had been in use at the time and workers left at 6 pm, Inspector Clarke said.The home was reported to have been checked by a caretaker at 11 pm.The man, who was paid to sleep in the home, is Spanish-speaking and was being questioned through an interpreter Monday in the hopes he might shed some light on the incident.All appeared to have been in order when he went to bed after his check.A neighbor reported noticing certain lights on as usual about midnight.Though an electric heater was in use in the basement to remove dampness for the caretaker, none were found to have been used upstairs where temporary power was supplied through junction boxes.The blaze, detected by police as smoke began issuing through the eaves, was believed to have been burning for some time.Upper levels were found heavily engulfed in fire when firefighters arrived shortly after 2:24 am.The home then erupted into a ball of fire as the burning attic caved in, igniting other floors.Damage was estimated by fire officials at $700,000.The property was sold last June by longtime owner Sonja Reford Forster to Hosseinali Soudavar for $1.2 million, believed to be the highest price ever paid for a single-family Westmount home below Sherbrooke street.It has a 2A rating in the city\u2019s study of heritage properties.On Metcalfe last week: b Police constables Marianne Rivest, in passenger seat, and Cst Yves Methot, driver, compare notes with Urgences Santé co-ordinator Gary McHugh, left, after the police pair led the caretaker of 322 Metcalfe from the burning house Feb 7.He is sheltered in the rear of the cruiser.Crane downed A construction crane had to be dismantled at Redfern avenue and de Maisonneuve boulevard Monday morning when it blocked the intersection so completely that emergency vehicles could not have passed, public safety officers report.Workers were told to obtain a permit when none could be provided.The crane was to be installed to add a storey to the Reader\u2019s Digest building.Again in 1989, our Westmount office listed and sold more homes in Westmount than all the competition!
