Paging Premier Charest, Part 2

About 50 students protesting tuition fee hikes were at Premier Jean Charest’s house on Victoria lateafternoon of March 30, for the second time in the week. The group was calm, but made remarks to policeand played pretend riot games, running down Victoria and shouting. See p. 4. Photo: Ralph Thompson

Was it a grass snake, or a garter snakeor a rock snake? No, none of the three va-rieties commonly found in this area, thePublic Security sergeant quickly dis-cerned.

A little less than two feet in length, thesnake’s red eyes were looking at Sgt.Robert Forbes, who was dispatched March25 to deal with a snake on the steps of ahouse at 517 Victoria following a call froma neighbour at 2:30 pm.

It was described as having translucentscales, red-banded on white. While Forbes

admits he doesn’t particularly like snakes,“it was just hanging out there,” he said.

After a few minutes of internet researchon the iPad in his supervisor’s car, he de-termined it to be an albino ruthven’s kingsnake or of the ruthveni species, and be-cause of the white colouring, likely notvenomous.

Assuming it to be an exotic variety andprobably someone’s pet that had escaped,he bagged it and took it to the SPCA in thehopes the owner would claim it.

Since no one did, the snake was re-ported to have been takento the Magazoo facility

There’s still a chance the “second” un-derground rink in the new arena/poolproject may be extended to the full 200-foot length, Councillor Cynthia Lulhamdisclosed March 29 at the fifth and last ofher neighbourhood meetings on reducingconstruction impact.

The rink had been downsized to 185feet following the submission of thePomerleau design in order to save $2 mil-lion in costs related to the proximity of in-frastructure under Academy Rd.

This infrastructure is now being fur-ther studied as one of several items of theproject still in flux, Lulham told the meet-ing at the lawn bowling clubhouse for res-idents of Abbott Ave. and Melville south ofde Maisonneuve.

She also revealed that the annualShakespeare performances in WestmountPark would move to theraised area between the

The rezoning of a heritage building atGreene and St. Catherine to includerestaurants in the permitted usage couldlead to a “very positive” addition to theneighbourhood, a public consultationmeeting was told March 28.

Its use as a restaurant would not onlypromote more pedestrian activity but also“bring some excitement to the area,” saidcity Urban Planning director JoannePoirier.

The building at 4192 St. Catherine com-mands the southeast corner and currentlyhouses an antique business owned, as isthe building, by Henrietta Antony. It isnow up for sale. Originally built by theRoyal Bank, it has a Category I heritage

rating and is zoned “commercial,” which,at the moment, does not include use as arestaurant.

The building is located in a stand-alonezone, C5-24-11, which was likely the rea-son it was accidentally omitted from lastyear’s rezoning of Greene that allowed forthe addition of some small restaurants,Poirier explained. The oversight, she said,had been brought to the city’s attention bythe building’s owner.

No size restriction

Because of its location and architecturalinterest, the city does not feel there shouldbe a size restriction imposed on the restau-rant occupancy of this building, she addedin presenting the rezoning case to a virtu-ally empty council chamber.

Not one member of the general public,or anyone directly concerned by thechange, attended the session other thancity officials – Councillor Cynthia Lulhamas Urban Planning commissioner, and cityclerk Mario Gerbeau.

Lulham pointed out that the buildinghas access to parking. A municipal lot isat the rear, and Westmount Square has in-terior parking just across the street.

The first draft by-law to amend the zon-ing was adopted by a resolution of council

March 5 with the second draft expected tobe adopted April 2. According to a legalreferendum process, people in the con-cerned zone or contiguous zones will haveuntil April 18 to apply for the opening of aregister, the city clerk said.

Should a restaurant ever open in thisbuilding, it would have to meet the city’scriteria for outdoor terrasses if one weredesired. This does not automatically followwith a restaurant occupancy provision.

Public meeting plays to near empty house

Proposed resto rezoning a plus for Greene, city says

About a hundred people protesting stu-dent fee increases arrived at Premier JeanCharest’s house on Victoria Ave. March 28at about 8:30 pm. The protest was noisybut peaceful. Police remained in the back-ground. About 15 minutes into thedemonstration, police lined up in front ofCharest’s residence, although none of theprotesters made attempts to enter hisproperty. Police closed Victoria to trafficbut many neighbours gathered around toobserve the demonstration, one com-menting “the students are more law abid-ing than most of the drivers who exceedthe speed limit on the hill.” Protesters dis-persed after about 30 minutes.

Protestors were back on the afternoonof March 30, forming a small crowd thatstretched across the street in front ofCharest’s house.

Police blocked Victoria at The Boule-vard and Westmount Ave., with at least fif-teen police vehicles and fifteen helmetedpolicemen in evidence.

Galerie M has become a favourite shop ofWestmounters, who cannot wait to discover what willbe on the floor at “M” (as it is affectionately referredto by the “REGULARS”). This is not your typicalretail environment where the same suppliers andmerchandise stay on the floor for the season. At GalerieM, inventory changes daily as clients wait with greatanticipation to open their weekly e-letters for theBIG REVEAL that shows photos of the “Galerie’s”latest arrivals. True to its name “Galerie”, Marcy Katzof Westmount acts as a “Curator”, specifically choos ingonly the finest furniture, decorative accessories, and

lighting. In fact, she refuses almost 70% of what is offered by consignors. The“Galerie” regularly receives ends of lines, overstock, and showroom samplesfrom Canada and the United States. Thanks to Katz’s background working as abuyer for a major retailer, her selection is amazing! Designers and decoratorsroutinely enter the shop with their clients who marvel at the unique items thatare displayed in a “loft like” showroom that is airy and bright with itemspresented in fabulous displays. The store is, simply put, a clever eclectic mixof antique, modern, transitional, art deco, and contemporary products. As forthe type of people who shop at “M”, regulars revealed that they have shoppedalongside the CEO’s of Quebec’s largest companies, actors and singers,designers and decorators, Politicians and famous American designers; butask Katz and she’ll never tell as both the consignors and buyers are held tothe strictest of confidence. This shop is addictive for those who love beautifulone-of-a-kind things at remarkable prices!

Let the spring clean-up begin – offi-cially. With April 1 comes “open season” inWestmount for leaf blowers, but only untilMay 1.

And with the coming into force April 1of the city’s new waste management by-

law, plastic leaf bags are now outlawed,meaning that all small garden debris willonly be collected in paper yard-waste bagsor from uncovered rigid garbage contain-ers. Branches must be bundled with natu-ral twine and not exceed one meter inlength.

Also with April 1, street maintenanceparking restrictions went into force untilnext fall, a reminder to people to checkstreet signage, Public Security officialssaid.

During an early heat wave two weeksago when many residents and contractorsgot a head start at yard cleaning, at leastthree people were warned against jump-ing the gun on leaf blowers.

One contractor was issued a ticket for$146 on March 24 when he was foundusing one on Westmount Ave. near Victo-ria after being warned against it an hourearlier. Two other users stopped immedi-ately as requested and were not fined: oneMarch 21 on Clarke and another March 24on de Casson.

April 1 also brings street cleaning hours

Leaf blowers ‘in,’ plastic leafbags ‘out’ for clean-up

Internationalestudents join protest

High school students from École In-ternationale were reported to have con-gregated outside the door of the schoolon Côte St. Antoine Rd. March 22 beforeleaving for downtown to join a largeprotest against university tuition hikes.

Public Security officials said theywere called at 8:55 am by the school di-rector. It was not believed the studentswere actually blocking entry to theschool but officers stayed on the site fora while. No incidents were reported.


Letters to the EditorKeep Shakespeare site dog-free

I was dismayed to read (March 13, p.12) that the city plans to temporarily relo-cate the Lansdowne dog run to the Shake-speare site in Westmount Park by May 1.This is a terrible idea. What was councilthinking?

The sound of barking dogs is a nui-sance (except to dog owners it seems).Barking is essentially noise pollution, andthis obnoxious sound will permeate a largearea, or possibly all, of the park, includingthe neighbouring lagoon area.

What about the needs of other visitorsto Westmount Park to relax and enjoy thegeneral tranquility of the park withoutbeing subject to, and requiring to tolerate,the inevitable loud and annoying barkingnoise that a dog run will inevitably bring?

If the city is looking for a compromise,I suggest they make this temporary dogrun site conditional on all owners muz-zling their dogs while they are there. Andthe city would have to ensure adequate en-forcement by Public Security.

Otherwise, a dog run should not be sit-uated anywhere in, or near, WestmountPark.

Susan Kazenel, Kensington Ave.

Westmount Park beingghettoized?

Shifting the dog run to that natural am-phitheatre space is a foolish idea, a viewshared in your paper by several residents.

Moreover, it will contribute to the fur-ther ghettoization of Westmount Park.

I remember a dear friend, who left us afew years ago. Were she still with us shewould no longer be able to admire the ma-jestic tree facing her window on AcademyRd., nor walk barefoot through the lawn ofwhat is now a soccer field for hire norwaltz in that lovely space, as she did, onher 90th birthday party.

Moreover, dogs being dogs, there is al-ways the danger of one of them sneakingout and causing a child or an elderly per-son to fall, or worse.

Maya Khankhoje, Kensington Ave.

Editor’s note: For clarity, we understandthat this is a temporary re-location of the dogrun. – KM

Thinking of a way toreduce Decarie backlog

There is a simple way of reducing thetraffic that backs up from the Decarie Ex-pressway entrance back along Sherbrooketowards Westmount.

There should be a green turn-rightarrow at the expressway entrance duringthe green for cars coming off the 15 north.Since exiting cars must turn right or lefton Sherbrooke, any traffic turning rightonto the Decarie north entrance rampcould proceed safely during that time. Thiswould eliminate a large part of the back-up along Sherbrooke.

Also, not allowing parking along theblock just before the entrance would alsoimprove traffic flow for those heading weston Sherbrooke.

David Benjamin, Chesterfield Ave.

Yay to the trafficquestionnaire

Our association [Westmount Walkingand Cycling Association] welcomes MayorPeter Trent’s Master Traffic Plan letter toresidents in which he asks for their com-ments. We agree that the city needs to takesteps to reduce the high volume of traffic.

Unfortunately, Westmount is currentlyencouraging people to drive by offeringtwo key incentives, which must be reducedif the city hopes to reduce traffic.

First, Westmount provides free-flowingtraffic routes through our city, which en-

courage drivers from outside Westmountto cut across on their way downtown. Cur-rently, it only takes about seven minutes tocross Westmount on any of our main east-west streets.

If the city wants to reduce through traf-fic, it must reduce this incentive by reduc-ing vehicle capacity and not by facilitatingit. This can be accomplished in variousways, such as replacing a few strategic carlanes with bike paths or public transitlanes. Only by making it less convenientand longer to cut through Westmount willdrivers adopt alternative routes (like Ville-Marie) or alternative means of transport(like public transit).

Second, Westmount provides abundantfree or low cost parking, which encouragespeople to drive to Westmount rather thanusing public transit, walking or cycling.Westmount should, like many other pro-gressive urban centres, gradually reducethe availability of parking spots and grad-ually increase the cost of parking to en-courage drivers to gradually adoptalternative means of transport to and fromWestmount.

The quality of life in our community isbeing eroded by the overwhelming pres-ence of motor vehicles, so the city needs toreverse this trend by establishing a health-ier balance between motor vehicles andother forms of transportation.

We encourage residents to supportMayor Trent by responding favourably tohis questionnaire and by voicing theirviews during the public consultations thatwill follow.

Some fast work by Station 12’s Sgt.Marc-André Perreault led to the arrest ofthree suspects who allegedly stole aniPhone from a local youth.

The call came in at 8:20 pm on March23 for a theft on the corner of Sherbrookeand Lansdowne. A 15-year-old West-mounter and his two friends were ap-proached by three youths.

“One of them asked the victim for thetime, so he pulled out his iPhone,” saidConstable Adalbert Pimentel. “One of thesuspects then approached him and toldhim to hand over the phone, which he

did.”As the suspects fled, the victim called

911 and Sgt. Perreault responded to thescene.

“He told the victim to get into his vehi-cle, and they began driving around the sec-tor,” said Pimentel. “When they got to CôteSt. Antoine near Lansdowne, the victimspotted the suspects.”

Perreault called for back-up and ar-rested the three suspects, who were takento the operational centre.

Arrested were three males, aged 14, 16and 18. All are from east-end Montreal.They have been charged with armed rob-bery and possession of a stolen item.

Trio of iPhone thieves found

comfort station and playground. This is tomake way for their longstanding venue tobe used during the construction period forrelocation of the Lansdowne dog run, as

previously announced (see March 13, p.12).

Though it was not mentioned, the newShakespeare site, which is sometimesused for city campout activities, had servedas the original park dog run for 10 yearsbefore a decision was made in 1986 toeliminate it from the park and move it toLansdowne and St. Catherine St.

Other concerns raised

These were among items discussed atthe neighbourhood meeting, whichevolved into an informal discussion ofmany localized concerns that includedtraffic congestion on Hillside Ave. outsideSt. Andrew’s school, the brief timing ofthe traffic light at Abbott and St. Cather-ine, work on the railway track and sound-reducing measures along the Ville MarieExpressway.

Lulham, who is Urban Planning andParks commissioner as well as the District7 representative, began the session with afull presentation of the design plans forthe new recreation facility and plans to re-duce construction disruption, as reportedin the IndependentMarch 20, p. 8.

Just as many questions, if not more,however, were asked about design detailsof the actual arena/pool project and park-ing regulations after the new facility

opened.“At every meeting, it’s been the parking

that we’ve heard about,” Lulham said,adding that “there are more on-street per-mits issued than there are spaces.”

While special reserved parking zones

for residents only are not currently beingproposed for Melville and Abbott duringconstruction as they are on other nearbystreets where residents are more depend-ent on street parking, Lulham explainedthis could changed if needed.

Residents wanted to know how the citywould monitor and enforce parking beforeand after construction. They also askedhow the enlarged parking area off ArenaDrive – as well as the pool area – would becamouflaged from St. Catherine.

Lulham said the parking would betreated in similar fashion to the library lot,which is slightly lowered and hedged. The

pool area would be decoratively fenced,hedged and protected by a berm.

She also said the city was working on asystem to ensure that cars using the facil-ity parking areas, including the lot behindthe Montreal Oral School for the Deaf dur-ing designated arena hours, were trulythose involved in recreation activities.

What about the Zamboni?

People also wanted to know where theZamboni would be kept (two would behoused between the two rinks, Lulhamreplied), if there would be a lifeguards’room (yes), enough bathrooms (“a wholelot”), an elevator (yes) and about the foodto be served (healthy food, no vending ma-chines).

Lulham also assured one questionerthat there were indeed “enough” exitsfrom the underground facility, pointingout that “we have to follow all the codes.”

It was noted that none of the project’shigh-profile critics from the Save the Parkgroup, many of whom live on Melville,were present at the session.

As cartons of donated books pile up tobe sorted and priced, organizers of thespring book sale held by Friends of the Li-brary are hoping it will once again gener-ate record proceeds to help the WestmountPublic Library.

“We’ve got the books, and they’re gen-erally of a higher quality,” said Lee Taylor,who coordinates the sale with CarolynO’Neill, the group’s president.

The semi-annual event takes place onthe weekend April 14 and 15 from 10 amto 6 pm at Victoria Hall.

It features the sale of quality usedbooks ranging in price from 50 cents forchildren’s titles and $1 to $3 for most adultones, though some special art or coffee-table type selections could cost as much as$10. Textbooks are not accepted as dona-tions. Neither are books that are eithermarked up, smelly, moldy or not in goodcondition.

Proceeds from the fall sale fully fundedthe library’s $15,000 eBook servicelaunched in December, which has been“enormously popular,” according to librarydirector Julie-Anne Cardella. “We’re very

excited about the spring sale.”“I think one of the reasons for our

growing success has been the quality of se-lection,” O’Neill explained. “People keepcoming back and bringing their friends.Without question, it gets bigger and bet-ter.”

A dozen volunteers – members of theFriends of the Library – have been sortingthrough and pricing books in cartons piledhigh in the basement of the library, withmore coming in right up until the sale.

Pick-up available

The sale, which depends solely on vol-unteers, has the help of high school andCEGEP students in setting up at VictoriaHall, assisting during the sale, and clean-ing up afterward.

It also provides them with a sense ofcommunity service, explained Taylor, whobrings some of her students to help fromthe class she teaches in English as a sec-ond language to immigrants attending theHigh School of Montreal Adult EducationCentre. “It’s exciting for them to experi-ence our community effort.”

A new solution to a longstanding trafficproblem on Clandeboye lane was pre-sented March 29 to residents using thelane for access to their backyard garages orparking spaces.

It’s a moveable arm – similar to leversat parking lots – that could be operatedonly by those residents and other author-ized persons, thereby reducing access tomost of the lane by users of a 60-car park-ing lot behind the Bathshaw Youth andFamily Centres building on WeredalePark.

Residents on the east side of Clande-boye Ave. and the west side of WeredalePark who depend on the lane cite escalat-ing problems of volume and speed ofthrough traffic to the parking lot. Thismakes it difficult to back out of garages.

Three years ago, when repavingWeredale Park, the city added a link fromthe street into the lane so that users of theparking lot could access it directly fromWeredale Park without having to use theentire lane as a street.

But since then, it seems that old waysweren’t so easy to break, and Public Worksofficials have been looking at new options

to limit most of the lane to residents onlywhile maintaining access at its south endto the parking lot used mainly byBathshaw workers and visitors.

Blocking off the lane at the Weredalelink would prevent use by service andemergency vehicles and was thereforeruled out.

“Despite the best efforts of the city,there are still safety issues,” according tothe District 8 representative CouncillorTheodora Samiotis, who invited affectedresidents to the meeting at city hall.

In presenting the case for the movablearm, director general Duncan Campbellexplained that the advantage of a lever isthat it offers the flexibility required to pro-vide access to authorized vehicles.

The question that remains now, as Pub-lic Works personnel go back to the draw-ing board, is exactly where to position theproposed arm, Samiotis explained.

She told the meeting that the lane issueis another testament to the amount of traf-fic being encountered in Westmount as re-cently indicated in data collected as part ofthe city’s master traffic plan study.

More discussions with Batshaw offi-cials also may be required, she noted.

Fans gathered at the Bell Centre onMarch 2 not for hockey but for tennis! Leg-ends Andre Agassi, Pat Cash, MichaelChang and Ivan Lendl were in town forthe Montreal Rendez-vous exhibition ten-nis event.

Tickets ranged from $55 to $293, andthe centre was packed. Those guys can stillplay, granted not with the huge power andheavy spin of today’s game, but with greatfinesse – and a sense of humour.

Cash stopped playing in the middle ofhis match, gave one of the ball boys hisiconic bandana, and let him hit a few ballswith Lendl. An Andy Warhol second offame for the ball boy (who actually hitquite well!).

After the Cash-Lendl match (Cashwon), Andre Agassi played MichaelChang. With bandaged knees, Changraced around the court as Agassi whipped

the ball into corners. Chang also movedAgassi around as well, who finally won 7-6, 6-2.

However, hockey was not completelyforgotten. The players were presented withCanadiens’ hockey sweaters. The Habs arealso fans.

Seated in the VIP section were players

Peter Budaj, Josh Gorges, Petteri Noke-lainen and Yannick Weber.

The event was co-produced by Evenkoand Star Games, whose president Jerry

Solomon was noted at the standing room-only 5-à-7 cocktail.

Westmounters enjoying the games in-cluded Alain and Marie-Dominique Tri-

mont, Parisianchic in cashmereand a silk scarf,and Mark Smithand his motherJoan Smith, wear-ing a lovely jadependant – maybeto give herfavourite playergood luck?

Investors apply excess optimism when things aregoing well in the world elevating stock prices

beyond reason.

Conversely, they become overly pessimistic whenthings are going poorly – depressing stock prices

unreasonably.

Shortness of memory plays a major role in abettingthese swings.

This swing of investor moods recurs regularly andcreates some of the greatest opportunities to gain

or lose in the financial markets.

�You may remember the old Canadiantelevision series “The Littlest Hobo,” fea-turing a well-intentioned vagabond Ger-man shepherd, who wandered from townto town lending a hand – a paw, rather, todistressed humans he met on his travels.

Remi is the West End’s own littlesthobo, a petite 25-pound, two-year-oldLabrador/beagle mix, who was found run-ning along the train tracks in St. Henri inthe fall.

Unlike the picture-perfect world of tel-evision, in reality it was this little drifterwho needed humans to save his life.

While Remi’s history remains a mys-tery, his body tells a ghastly tale. Thisgaunt ghost of a dog had paw pads thatwere raw and abraded, and toenails thatwere either worn down to nubs or hadfallen off. His back legs had open redsores.

Luckily Remi was turned over to a res-cue organization and is receiving the loveand medical attention he so desperatelyneeded. The healing process over the lastcouple of months has been difficult. Inpain and in a state of constant state of itch-iness, our guy wanders around with band-ages on all four legs that have had to bechanged and monitored constantly. Hehas extreme allergies, which are thoughtto be food-related.

Yet none of these hardships have damp-ened this littlest hobo’s spirit. While Remiis a little nervous outside of the house andtends to bark at anything from others dogsto leaves fluttering by, up close he is afriendly, happy boy who gets along wellwith everyone. He loves to romp around

with his foster mates and cuddle up withhis foster mum.

The perfect apartment-sized dog,Remi’s ideal home is with a patient andproactive owner who can continue to ad-minister his medication as he heals, andmonitor him closely as a preventativemeasure to ensure that he doesn’t con-stantly re-open his wounds.

Remi is a very special boy who deservesa second chance at a healthy life and a lov-ing family. The Littlest Hobo theme songgoes, “Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find what Icall home.” Can we find Remi a home too?

There were two more victims of theftsfrom within cars in Westmount last week,report police.

A 51-year-old TMR man had his Mer-cedes broken into while he was walkinghis dog at Summit Woods.

The incident took place between 3:30and 4 pm on March 24. The victim told po-lice that when he arrived back at his carafter walking his dog, he noticed glass onthe ground next to his vehicle.

“The driver’s window was shattered,and the suspect took an iPad and an Applelatptop computer,” said Constable Adal-bert Pimentel.

On March 26, a 57-year-old West-mounter returned to his GMC truckparked on Victoria near Sherbrooke to findsomeone had smashed his passenger-sidewindow.

This incident happened between 4:40and 6:51 pm on March 26. Taken from hisvehicle was a briefcase containing bindersand a school textbook.

“Once again, we are advising all mo-torists to never leave any items in plainsight in their vehicles,” said Pimentel.

Snake found

“that could better care for it,” said assistantPublic Security director Greg McBain

March 29. This is Magazoo.com, l’Universdes Reptiles that operates a rescue servicefor abandoned or found reptiles.

The snake incident, McBain said,

“shows what a useful piece of equipmentthe iPad is for our sergeants.

“It provides them with on-the-spot re-search ability, which is particularly impor-

tant in checking identification and ad-dresses through 411 without having to gothrough central dispatch. We hope even-tually to have iPads in all our cars.”

Wealth management advicebased on security and stabilityIn an uncertain economy that has

created challenges for many investmentadvisors and their clients, Denny Matte,Senior Vice President and InvestmentAdvisor with Macquarie Private Wealthin Montreal, has delivered a steadyinvestment approach that draws adedicated following among the city’stop entrepreneurs, business leadersand medical professionals. During thecourse of 25 years serving Montreal’shigh-net worth individuals and families,he has become one of Canada’s leadingexperts in crafting customized invest -ment portfolios that are built to last.“The fundamental rule is that each

portfolio must be constructed for thespecific client,” Mr. Matte explains.“You don’t let the market environmentdecide what should be in the portfolio.You take control and carefully select investments that workfor each individual situation.”What works for affluent investors in the current environment

tends to be yield-producing investments, whether dividend-payingstocks or investment-grade corporate bonds. Balanced portfoliosof this nature are able to deliver predictable returns and incomeregardless of how markets are behaving. Moreover, this strategyis more sophisticated than it would appear on the surface –Mr. Matte has a unique ability to source quality securities that gobeyond what a standard broker can do. In addition, he managesthese portfolios himself.“Years ago, I discovered that third-party managers and mutual

funds weren’t matching the investment results that I was able togenerate using my own skills and professional judgment,” he says.“Clients began requesting that I dispense with that layer of feesand complexity – and I’ve been directing all portfolios ever since.”Matte credits the institutional strength of his firm, Macquarie

Private Wealth, for providing an extensive range of investments tochoose from. The global resources of Macquarie enable him toselect stocks and bonds that most other firms simply don’t haveaccess to. As a result, Matte and his clients go beyond the standardoff-the-shelf products to invest in securities that can provide betteryields at a lower cost.“My clients place a great deal of trust in my counsel, which is

why I conduct regular portfolio updates with each of them on amonthly basis,” Matte says. “This presents an opportunity toreview the investment strategy and make any necessaryadjustments. Ultimately, my clients value peace of mind,and that’s what my professional counsel provides.”To arrange a private appointment with Denny Matte, visit

Works by Westmount watercolouristElisabeth Galante are currently on displayat the Gallery at Victoria Hall. It is a col-lection of lively and colourful composi-tions. I spoke to the artist about her artand her role as instructor at the Visual ArtsCentre.

Watercolour artist

In the current exhibit entitled “Shad-ows and Songs,” Galante combines a mixof abstract and representational styles.Some images consist of circles andsquares, while others suggest foliagewithin multicolour blocks. Many, like“From Here to the River,” are inspired bynature and the rive nord, where she often

paints.Galante first studied at the Art Acad-

emy of Cincinnati in Ohio before pursu-ing her studies at Concordia. There,instructor Russell Gordon introduced herto watercolour, and she took immediatelyto “its fluidity, transparency and purity ofcolour.” Describing watercolour as “theright medium for her,” she was also influ-enced by another Concordia instructor,Judy Garfin.

Likening her work to visual poetry, she“follows the flow of the medium” and fre-

quently changes her working process.Having “no fixed style,” her work hasevolved over the years. However, ratherthan radical change, each piece relates tothe previous work.

For Galante, the naming of her work isintegral to understanding her art. Oftenemotionally evocative, some reflect poetryor lyrics like Leonard Cohen’s “The Moonhas a Sister.” The exhibit title “Shadowsand Songs” is taken from the writings ofRabindranath Tagore.

As Visual Arts Centre instructor

A drawing and watercolour instructorat the Visual Arts Centre since 1987,Galante finds the teaching process allowsher to remain fresh. For her, there is aneed “to bring together the sense of mood

and light,” but the “the medium drives thework.” Constantly setting challenges forherself, she works “in the moment.”

The artist also “learns from her stu-dents” and “loves the dialogue.” In turn,she shares an openness to process and ex-ploration – and a nonjudgemental view-point – to encourage students to developtheir own voice. But Galante is quick topoint out that “finding self in work” is theschool’s philosophy, and she is proud ofher association with the Visual Art Centre.

head for Fine and Applied Arts since 1990,Galante has seen tremendous growth interms of course selection and enrollmentat the Visual Arts Centre, now, the largestbilingual art school in Canada. Her rolethere has led to many positive associa-tions. In particular she mentions thathanging the exhibit was “a truly collabora-tive effort” with centre director and gallery

curator Victoria LeBlanc.

Exhibiting at The Gallery at Victoria Hall

Galante’s watercolour style can be de-scribed as spontaneous yet exploratory, po-etic yet playful. The exhibit “Shadow andSongs” continue until Saturday, April 14 atThe Gallery at Victoria Hall. (The gallerywill be closed over the Easter long week-end.)

“But the taxi driver was blocked by thevictim’s car,” said Station 12 ConstableAdalbert Pimentel. “The taxi driver, whohad a customer in his cab, got out and ap-proached the victim’s car. The victim

rolled down his window, and there was averbal exchange that culminated in the taxidriver punching the victim in the face.”

The cabbie got back into his car anddrove off. The victim went to Station 12 tofile a report.

The taxi driver is described as a whitemale, 50, with blond hair. He wore a whiteshirt. “The driver got the taxi’s license platenumber and the case has been handedover to our investigators,” said Pimentel.“They will get in contact with the Bureaudes taxis.” – DG
