Sustained increase of Montreal house prices in the fourth quarter expected to stabilize in 2012

CNW - The Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast released today point to a sustained year-over-year rise in fourth quarter Montreal Island house prices. First-time buyers again made their presence felt during the last quarter. This factor, together with consumer confidence in the economy - and in the real estate market, in particular - explains the observed price increase. Royal LePage expects the Montreal real estate market to be more balanced in the coming year, and house prices to stabilize. Over the fourth quarter, the average price of detached bungalows rose 3.7% to $283,000. The average price of standard two-storey homes rose 0.2% to $362,000, and that of a standard condominium rose 4.8% to $239,000. “Though we saw an increase in the prices of detached bungalows, standard condominiums and standard two-storey homes, the increase in the *Type of property not covered in the sector latter was much more modest. The small increase observed for standard Standard Two-Storey Home two-storey homes can be explained by Difference a roughly 11% increase in inventory Last (%) and a large number of first-time buyAverage Quarter Average Two-storey ers looking primarily for more affordMarket Q4 2011 Average Q4 2010 Home able homes,” notes Dominic St-Pierre, Director, Royal LePage Real Estate n/a n/a n/a n/a Beaconsfield Services for the Quebec region. 277,500 286,000 325,000 -14.6% Dorval “As for the number of units sold, 390,000 385,000 341,750 14.1% Pierrefonds detached bungalows saw a 13.6% decline, in contrast to an increase of n/a n/a n/a n/a Westmount 2.1% and 7.8% for standard two-storey homes and standard condominiums, respectively. The ratio of standard condominium sales to standard two-storey home sales was nearly 3 to 1,” explains Dominic St-Pierre. The inventory of homes for sale on Montreal Island increased by nearly 15% year-over-year. “The biggest increase here is in standard condominiums, which have gone up almost 20%. The inventory for detached bungalows is very similar to what it was last year. Standard two-storey homes, on the other hand, have increased by 11%,” St-Pierre explains. “While the demand for standard condominiums is high, the price hasn’t gone up dramatically. That can be explained by the fact that supply follows demand, stabilizing prices. Indeed, while in Montreal we see more LG standard condominiums for sale than LG Optimus 2X all other types of single-family homes Gossip Pro combined, demand is keeping pace,” $ $ adds Dominic St-Pierre. with select 3-year Fido Agreements with 2-year Fido Agreement As Mr. St-Pierre points out, house

An article in the Dec. 17 edition of the Laval News stated incorrectly that the new Centre intégré de services de première ligne de l’ouest de l’île (CISPLOI) on Dagenais Blvd. in Western Laval would be opening this spring. A spokeswoman for CSSS de Laval maintains that the centre has been open since last September.

to do in the financing since 2003,” said Paquet, noting that wide-scale population growth in Laval and on the North Shore is the main justification by the government for expanding the two areas’ health care budgets. Paquet said in an interview afterwards that even if more money is due, “taking into account that there is a budget cut restraint, we have to take into account the debt burden of the Quebec government. but we’re able to maintain this balance.” On a different but related issue, Paquet was asked what if any impact the federal government’s recently announced intention of reducing its central role in the country’s health care system might have on medicare in Quebec.

Health pact threatened

Surgery, custom high quality orthotics (prescription incl.), ingrown toenails, warts, nail fungus, exams....and more!

According to Paquet, Quebec doesn’t want Ottawa to abdicate the guiding role it has held since the medicare system was created in the early 1960s. “We have to negotiate and find the best way to attribute money for health care,” he said. “We are willing to negotiate with the provinces and we expect that from the federal government,” he continued. “We hope they come to their senses and they will come to the negotiation table. It (the federal government) has responsibility and has to be committed to that, just as Quebec has other responsibilities. Ultimately we have to respond to the needs of the people.”

Laval-des-Rapides Liberal MNA Alain Paquet, who is a special minister delegated for finance in the Charest cabinet, announced the funds being given to the Centre jeunesse de Laval and the CRDI Normand-Laramée during a press conference held on Jan. 10 at the sprawling social services campus on Cartier Blvd. West where the two organizations are based. Most of the money – more than $2.5 million – is going to the CJL. CRDI Normand-Laramée will be receiving around $350,000. Paquet acknowledged during a short speech to officials from the two establishments that the government has lately been playing catch-up with the province’s health network, to make up for years of shortcomings not only by previous PQ administrations, but also by the Liberals.

Opinion & Editorial

Assigning (proper) blame in the last financial crisis

As the world wrestles with the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and America - we’ll see if 2012 is any easier than 2011 - it’s worth reviewing what caused the last financial meltdown. Of some help is a new book, Reckless Endangerment - How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon. Gretchen Morgenson is a Pulitzer-prize winning business reporter for the New York Times; Joshua Rosner is now a managing director at a New Yorkbased consulting company. In 2001, Rosner authored a report critical of the already too-easy approach to American mortgage financing. Their collective talents help identify the various mischief-makers in the last financial crisis and why it occurred.

nice thing but it is not suitable for everybody,” said Frank to the interviewer. In fact, until the financial crisis, the congressman favoured expanding home ownership beyond reasonable limits, especially to those who, under more prudent lending rules, would never have obtained a mortgage. Frank had also long opposed stripping Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac of their sweetheart deals with the U.S. federal government. The two lenders, created in 1938 and 1970 respectively to help raise levels of U.S. home ownership, were technically private for the last four decades. However, and critically, both were granted de facto government guarantees and other favourable treatment that cut their borrowing costs. For example, capital requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were set low, at just 2.5 per Barney (not so) Frank cent, compared to a 10 per cent requirement for Exhibit A: Just after Lehman Brothers collapsed American banks. Such favours were opposed by in 2008 and as U.S. mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac declined into financial quick- the rest of the financial sector and by critics who sand, Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank thought such favouritism risked a future taxpayer bailout. was omnipresent on the nightly news. In Reckless Endangerment, blame for the last Frank, then chairman of the powerful House American financial crash is properly attributed to Financial Services Committee, knew who to blame both government and the financial sector: Wall for the mess: Wall Street and other politicians. Quoted in a January 2009 New Yorker profile, Street again became “irrationally exuberant” (to use Frank said he predicted and might have prevented a 1990s phrase from Alan Greenspan). But it did so the U.S. housing crisis - if only others had listened: courtesy of government “carrots” and “sticks,” i.e., “The ‘I told you so’ here is that homeownership is a incentives and regulations to lenders that artificially

boosted homeownership levels, risk be damned. Such encouragement of high-risk behaviour included the Carter administration’s Community Reinvestment Act, pumped up in the 1990s under Bill Clinton. That Act pushed financial institutions to lend more money to low-income, high-risk borrowers on the theory that racial discrimination (and not lousy credit scores) explained a previous dearth of low-income mortgage-holders. Some of this ground has been explored in previous books. What’s new in Reckless Endangerment is the examination of the role Fannie Mae’s 1990s-era chief executive, James A. Johnson, played in creating the U.S. housing bubble: internal high-risk corporate behaviour that massively expanded Fannie Mae and external attacks on any critic that sought to kill Fannie Mae’s government-granted privileges. “Johnson’s command-and-control management of the mortgage finance giant and his hardball tactics to ensure Fannie Mae’s dominance amid increasing calls for oversight are crucial to understanding the origins of the worst financial debacle since the Great Depression,” write the authors. Johnson and those who followed him at Fannie Mae spent tens of millions of dollars on campaign contributions, grants to potential allies, and on lobbying. For instance, the company strategically supported a wide swath of American politicians, everyone from Barney Frank on the left to Newt Gingrich on the right. The cash helped thwart any attempt to put the company on a level playing field with other financial institutions. Johnson moved on from Fannie Mae in 1999, nine years before the financial sector imploded, but the authors assert he was a major reason for the housing boom and subsequent bust. “Johnson’s tactics were watched closely and subsequently imitated by others in the private sector,” write Morgenson and Rosner.

Whether relaxed lending standards, the elimination of due diligence, repackaging junk loans, and, importantly, supporting disastrous political attempts to push for more home ownership even for those who by any sensible measure, could not afford one, Johnson and Fannie Mae were there first as “pioneers.” As for the congressman from Massachusetts, when asked in 2005 whether his political opposition to traditional prudence in the financial sector was wise, and whether this might not lead to mass mortgage defaults, he brushed off the question: Said Frank, “We’ll deal with that problem if it happens.” Mark Milke The opinions on THIS PAGE reflect the consensus of Editorial Board.

Pilot project to subsidize Cloth Diaper use

As part of its environmental protection program and continued development of Laval’s Family policy the City will fund a pilot project which will provide a subsidy to families wishing to purchase cloth diapers for their baby. This funding of $100 annually will be available starting January 2012 and the cloth diapers must be purchased in 2012. The use of cloth diapers will significantly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill. It will also reduce the amount of resources required for the manufacture of disposable diapers, because one set of cloth diapers replaces thousands of disposable diapers. In addition, they can be reused for a second child. No one knows for certain how long it takes for a disposable diaper to decompose, but some have estimated it could take up to 250-500 years. Also cloth diapers are soft against a baby’s skin and are also free of the many chemicals contained in disposable diapers. Parents will save money because the cost of buying disposable diapers can be between 2 to 3 times higher than that of a set of cloth diapers. The pilot project is a one-year term starting from January 1st to December 31st, 2012. The grant of $ 100 / family will be given towards the purchase of a minimum set of 24 cloth diapers with a minimum value of $ 240. The program is funded so that 300 families will receive financial assistance during the duration of the pilot project. Forms are available online and must be accompanied by two proofs of residence in Laval; photocopy of the certificate or the declaration of birth of the child and that the applicant is the parent or guardian of the child to whom the grant application to the date of signing the grant application form, the original or a readable photocopy of invoices (dated 2012) that record the purchase of a batch of at least 24 cloth diapers with minimum value of $ 240 (before taxes). The bill must be drafted in one of two official languages (French or English) and must contain the name and address of the merchant, the date of purchase and all information identifying the manufacturer’s name, the name model and the amount of reusable diapers purchased. Should the bill not contain all the information required above, the applicant must provide the missing information on a document attached to the invoice and all documents should be mailed along

Thanks to these close-at-hand services, seniors will be able to remain in their living space, whether they’re in good health or losing their autonomy. In this way, we are turning a vision of a society for all ages into a reality.”

Cutting pressure

While not present for the announcement, Fabre Liberal MNA Michelle Courchesne said in a statement that seniors from Laval are certain to feel the benefits of this additional aid, as will the workers who provide the health and social services. “There’s no doubt that these new budgetary measures, which are recurring, will help relieve pressure overall on the health system, and in particular the emergency at Cité de la santé,” said Courchesne.

Eviction of tenants

Change in destination of rented premises CNW Telbec/ - Generally speaking, in Québec, the lessee of a dwelling has the right to maintain occupancy. That right entitles the lessee to renew the lease and stay in the dwelling as long as he or she complies with the obligations related to the lease. However, the law provides for exceptions to this rule. Under certain circumstances, the lessor may resiliate a lease and put an end to its renewal, in other words terminates the lessee’s possibility of renewing the lease. Accordingly, the law provides that an owner may evict a tenant in order to change the destination of a dwelling. In that case, specific rules apply. Consequently, whether you are a lessee or an owner, it is important to be well-

informed of the rules that apply and of the legal time limits to be complied with. That is why the Régie du logement wishes to remind Quebecers of the main legal provisions governing the eviction of a tenant in order to change the destination (use) of a residential dwelling. For example, for one-year leases ending on June 30, 2012, the landlord must notify the tenant no later than December 31, 2011. The notice must indicate the date and the reason for eviction. It must also be sufficiently clear so that the tenant is able to fully understand the landlord’s intentions and evaluate the impact. Important: Contrary to the repossession of a dwelling, when a tenant objects to the eviction for a change in destina-

tion of the dwelling, he or she must contest the justification for it before the Régie du logement. The tenant must file the application with the office of the Régie du logement in the month following receipt of the notice. Failure to do so mean the tenant is deemed to have consented to vacate the dwelling and must move by the date indicated in the notice. If the tenant files an objection with the Régie du logement, the landlord must demonstrate that he or she really intends to change the destination of the dwelling and that the law allows him or her to do so. At the tenant’s request, the Régie du logement can set the eviction for a later date than the one given in the notice. An evicted tenant is entitled to an indemnity. In the case of a change in the destination of the rented premises, the landlord must pay the evicted tenant an indemnity of three months’ rent and reasonable moving expenses, whether the tenant has contested the eviction or not. If the tenant believes that the prejudice sustained warrants higher damages, he or she can apply to the court to set the amount. The indemnity is payable at the expiry of the lease and the moving expenses are payable upon presentation of vouchers.

First-time buyers and consumer confidence helped push prices up ◄ Continued from page 2 prices should continue to rise in 2012, but the increase will be modest, at about 1.3 percent. “Prices climbed sharply in early 2011. But the increase slowed as the year went along, and this should continue in 2012. We expect a drop of about 2.1 percent in the number of units sold. As for inventory, it should continue to rise, mainly in the first half of 2012, and then slow down and level off in the second half of the year. We should therefore see a more balanced real estate market in the coming year,” he explains. According to St-Pierre, consumer confidence will be the key factor influencing the real estate market. “Despite recent news about the unemployment rate, Quebec is in a good economic position right now, and we see the same thing in Canada. Consumers will therefore be influenced by what’s happening outside the country. Europe is still grappling with serious economic problems. The situation in the United States appears to be stabilizing, and the real estate market and economy seem to be gradually recovering. So it’s the markets in Europe and the United States that will influence consumer confidence in the real estate market,” he concludes.

Aries March 21-April 19__________________

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22_____________________

Remain ambitious. Soon (next week) pressure will turn to joy. Though the work you’ve taken on, or the job that’s soon to come, won’t “quit” until July, it will ebb in intensity by next week through mid-April. Forgo the social rounds this week. Your popularity and “welcome mat” will return next week. Sunday’s for relationships: steady as she goes. Mysteries, large sums and sexual attractions arise Monday to Wednesday morning. These flow smoothly, but a challenging practical aspect counsels caution. Wednesday to Friday are wise, mellow. Money luck Friday eve, hidden behind a “jolt.”

Taurus April 20-May 20___________________

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21___________________

Retreat, lie low and rest Sunday to dawn Monday. After this, your energy, effectiveness and charisma surge, to Wednesday. You could meet love Monday daytime – though this entire week accents friendships, casual acquaintances, errands, calls and visits – lighter stuff. Wednesday noon to Friday brings a money phase – sell, earn, but don’t chase money intensely, nor buy anything: risk nothing. A practical barrier prevents success. (The barrier is mildly hidden, because it’s in you, or entails the “environment” set up by governments or head office.) A down-home month starts Friday.

Gemini May 21-June 20___________________

You face one more week of finances, accountants, investments, sexual temptations, hunches and subconscious desires, and lifestyle decisions. Do your duty, but don’t chase these matters proactively. Half of you remains stubbornly romantic, especially about lifestyle, investments, sex, etc. – this clouds your judgement. Reliable answers begin to come next week. Sunday promotes romance, beauty, cinema, art. Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday – but avoid water Wednesday (e.g., laundry, plumbing). A promising yet challenging person or opportunity arrives Wednesday/Thursday: reject it!

Cancer June 21-July 22___________________

The accent remains on relationships, relocation, litigation, negotiation, opportunities and competitors. Usually I’d add, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. But you might be strongly on the path of separation or ending a project or personal link – and with reason. Wait until Friday onward to make any decisions – and especially, to agree, commit, sign, or form any bonds. Spend Sunday at home or with kids, repairs, garden, etc. Romance has a strange subtle potency these days, as Monday to Wednesday show. It’s a prelude. Soon, another, clear, love note will fill the decade ahead.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22______________________

It’s your last week of work, Leo – all week. Tackle chores with aplomb. Make a list, priorities first, and knock them off one by one. Friday begins a month of relationships, fresh, exciting horizons, and new opportunities. But it doesn’t get in gear (nor is it lucky) until the 23rd. By then, you’ll want to be free to chase excitement. Sunday’s for trips, errands and calls. You feel sluggish Monday to Wednesday, but you can accomplish big stuff in home or business foundation zones (e.g., product safety). Romance calls, but work is your best answer, Wednesday through Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22____________________

Enjoy your last week of romance, Virgo. (All those members of the opposite sex who were nice to you this month, were “romance.”) If you still have a creative, child-oriented or similar project to launch or finish, do it now. If you run into a money barrier – e.g., can’t afford that private school for the kids – wait, then seek a solution Friday/Saturday. Strictly avoid speculative risk ALL week. Sunday begins this week with shopping or earning, selling. Travel, do errands, call and write Monday to Wednesday. Settle into home, rest, garden Wednesday to Friday. Romance, late week.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21________________

You’ve had some success handling money the last few weeks. But stop now: a purchase, a pay raise request, an earnings prospect – all hit a barrier, especially before Friday. The problem is, your hopes and your money aren’t on the same path (especially within you). This dilemma will disappear after October, but until then you shouldn’t trust your spending impulses: go slow, get a consensus before acting. Friday begins a month of curiosity, travel and communications – a nice light time. But it won’t benefit you until the 23rd. Your energy attracts admirers Wednesday to Friday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19_________________

Your energy, charisma and clout remain at a yearly high, Cap, but you face a daunting task this week: to persuade higher-ups, or to support and promote your own worldly or career position – generally, to handle a huge responsibility. You can do it – and will be happy doing it! Still, a caution: don’t think your personal needs (or personality) can escape bosses’ notice and a “test.” Approval rewards strivers. Be ambitious Sunday. Hopes, happiness and friends come Monday-Wednesday. Retreat, lie low Wednesday p.m. to noon Friday. Friday eve to Saturday, you succeed, easily!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18__________________

This is your last week of isolation, of lower vitality, of retreat and recuperation. Your energy and optimism will begin to climb by Friday, but don’t initiate anything important before the 23rd. Meanwhile, this Sunday supports a mellow, thoughtful mood, learning, foreign art, religion and love. Be ambitious Monday to noon Wednesday – at least, live up to bosses’ and parents’ expectations. You grow increasingly optimistic, social and flirtatious from noon Wednesday to noon Friday, but be careful. Keep an eye on legal and reputational boundaries. One good, last rest Saturday!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20__________________

Happiness, social delights, flirtations, optimism, future plans, entertainment and wish fulfillment – these continue for one last week, Pisces. But a long-hidden barrier reveals itself this week. (Thursday stands out.) This barrier is a complex, perhaps odd one. Your own interest in the future (or in popularity, fun) is getting in the way of your interest in the future (et al). Or, you might have deep-seated (childhood?) issues that interfere, or a lust that prevents broad socializing. All will be revealed, solved, before October. No matter your age, your life is just beginning!

DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas

DEA officer stops at a ranch in Texas, and talks with an old rancher.. He tells the rancher, “I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs.” The rancher says, “Okay , but do not go in that field over there,” as he points out the location. The DEA officer verbally explodes saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me.” Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he removes his badge and proudly displays it to the rancher. “See this badge? This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish…. On any land.. No questions asked or answers given. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand? ”

The rancher nods politely, apologizes, and goes about his chores. A short time later, the old rancher hears loud screams and sees the DEA officer running for his life chased by the rancher’s big Santa Gertrudis Bull…… With every step the bull is gaining ground on the officer, and it seems likely that he’ll get gored before he reaches safety. The officer is clearly terrified. The rancher throws down his tools, runs to the fence and yells at the top of his lungs….. “Your badge… Show him your badge!!”

• The Laval News • www.lavalnews.ca • January 14, 2012

Spend this week recuperating, attending to home, family, property interests, retirement programs, garden, diet, etc. Security is your key word. Almost every sign has bad luck, or a barrier to face this week – but not you. So strive for progress in those family, home, etc. areas. You might also close out a period of your life, giving you freedom to grow, to love and live in the weeks to come. A month of romance, creativity, risk and reward starts Friday, but it delivers nothing useful or lucky before the 23rd, so wait. Your energy soars Sunday. Chase money Monday to Wednesday.

You remain in a mellow, wise, thoughtful mood – great for learning, far travel, religion and life philosophy. The glitch is that your duties might interfere, or these great things take a lot of hard work. Can you live up to your potential? I think so! Work demands doing Sunday, early Monday. Monday to Wednesday morning brings lucky relationships and opportunities – and, about 20 per cent possibility of opposition. Be persuasive, attempt to work/ play with someone. Depths, sexual and subconscious arousal come Wednesday to Friday. That work-versus-travel/learn trend peaks Thursday.

JULY

Canada Day was celebrated at Laval city hall on July 1 with a special ceremony during which several dozen permanent residents of Canada from eight different nations throughout the world took a final step and swore an oath to become full-fledged citizens of their new country. In an address before the ceremony, Laval executive-committee member Alexandre Duplessis noted that Canadian citizenship is respected throughout the world because of its regard for freedom, democracy and respect for diversity. “In choosing Canada, and in choosing Laval too, you have a country and a city that are turned to the future,” he said. “Congratulations and happy Canada Day.” Officials with the Agence de la santé des services sociaux de Laval and elected representatives of the Quebec Liberal government were in the auditorium of Laval’s Cité de la Santé on July 5 to announce new funding by the province to Laval’s main hospital, for the construction of a new family medicine pavilion. “This new family medicine unit fits in perfectly with the priorities of our government because its role is essential to the three complementary areas of our

The new family medicine pavilion, which will be connected to the main Cité de la Santé building, will have 1,330 square metres of space. The $4.2 million cost is being paid entirely by the Quebec health and social services ministry.

Somebody upstairs must really like what Agape has been doing for needier folks in Chomedey and other parts of Laval. How else can you explain that for the previous five years, each time the fundraising Agape Classic golf tournament was held, the weather was nothing short of perfect, during a month often known for its meteorological instability?

Ouellette. Tracey and Shafer have been active for the past 15 years as volunteers on the Sablon board. “The commitment that Liisa Shafer and Brian Tracey have shown has allowed Centre du Sablon to fulfill its mission, while helping citizens to actively take part in the development of the Laval community,” Laval Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt said in an address. Laval-les-Îles NDP MP François Pilon decided in September to join the debate over whether the NDP should continue longstanding special voting rights accorded to the labour movement, or terminate them just as the party is preparing for an historic leadership race. “I think the unions should not vote. Only the members of the NDP,” said Pilon, who was a labour activist during his many years as a blue collar worker for the City of Laval. One of the key pieces of Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt’s overall vision for Laval, the Cité du Savoir, came into place on Sept. 26, when he, along with officials from Quebec and Ottawa were on hand for the official opening of the University of Montreal’s new campus here. Located virtually next to one of Laval’s busiest hubs, the Montmorency Metro station, the new U of M building is right across the street from Collège Montmorency and also adjacent to the Montmorency public transit terminal, which has a constant flow of buses coming and going.

The organizers of the 2011 Classic had aimed to raise $8,000 from the tournament, which was held on Aug. 23 at Golf Sainte-Rose. “We’ve been five years running, and it’s been five years of perfect golf weather, with not a drop of rain,” said Kevin McLeod, the Agape daycare centre’s general manager, who organizes the Agape Classic each year. Chomedey Liberal MNA Guy Ouellette was on hand. “It’s always good weather for the Agape tournament and I’m glad to see that this year as usual there’s a big turnout,” Ouellette said in an interview with the Laval News. “Agape is an organization that we have been supporting for more than During its monthly public meeting 10 years,” said the Caisse Desjardins de on Oct. 3, Laval city council heard from Chomedey’s executive-director, Laurent two Chomedey residents, who wonCaron. dered why there is still no major hospital in the city’s west end, despite the fact Laval will soon have a population of 400,000 residents.

to hospital because you do not have a hospital in the western half of Laval. It is unacceptable that for a population of 400,000 residents we only have one single hospital and the population is growing.” On Oct. 17, the Société de Transport de Laval entered a new phase in its pursuit of environmental sustainability, with the launch of an experimental car sharing service that would be making one of North America’s first mass marketed hybrid-electric vehicles, the Chevrolet Volt, accessible to a few select residents. As part of the STL’s CLIC program, teams of four people, all of whom live in the same neighbourhood and have similar work schedules, were formed to test drive a total of 10 Chevrolet Volts. The cars were docked to special charging stations at the Montmorency and Cartier terminals, as well as at the AMT station in Ste-Dorothée. The users, who were allowed to log up to 200 kilometres of personal driving per month in the cars, were helping to determine the efficiency of the vehicles, compared to trips taken by other means of public transit powered by electricity,

such as the Deux-Montagnes commuter train and the Metro. It takes 10 hours to recharge the car using 120V household current, or four hours with the special 240V docking stations. On Oct. 12, former PQ cabinet minister François Legault, who was touring the province test marketing his fledgling political movement, the Coalition pour l’avenir du Québec, was at the Château Royal in Laval to float some of his ideas. They included putting Quebec sovereignty aside while more pressing problems are dealt with, a major overhaul of the public education system, restructuring public health care, and providing motivation for a more entre-

preneurial spirit to flourish in Quebec so the economy can take off. “You don’t have to be a sovereignist to love Quebec,” said Legault, who has since then soared in the polls with his newly-formed CAQ party. While he claims to still be a sovereignist himself, Legault admits that the chances of a sovereignty referendum resulting in a yes vote are virtually nil now.

NOVEMBER

On Nov. 15, two schools in Laval belonging to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board were among the more than a dozen local learning institutions designated as “Eco-Schools” by the Conférence régionale des élus de Laval. Students from Laval Liberty High School and from Souvenir Elementary School were present for a ceremony held in the gym at Souvenir Elementary, during which Mayor Gilles Vaillancourt gave them large framed certificates attesting to their responsibility in environmental management.

health and social services for Englishspeaking people in Laval were not expected to be ready until the spring, persons who took part in the process over two November weekends were already expressing their satisfaction. “The response has been unbelievable,” Mary Richardson of the Institut national de santé publique du Québec, which partnered with NPI Laval Agape to stage the two consultations on separate weekends at Laval Liberty and Laurier Senior high schools, said in an interview after the second session. According to Richardson, the information gathered will be brought back to the community, “so that they can then look at it and discuss where they want to go from here.”

DECEMBER

According to the City of Laval’s 2012 budget, the average residential tax bill increase this year will be around $39 (1.4 per cent), for a house with an estimated value of $255,000, below the projected inflation rate of 2.3 per cent. Laval will be hiring 19 additional police constables, increasing public transit services at a cost of $34.6 million, and installing a new “automated public communications system” in the next 12 months.

AnnuAl Community BreAkfAst WAs A Huge suCCess

By Rhonda Steiner – English Teacher at Laval Junior High School

On December 22nd, 2011 at 4:00 a.m. the cafeteria kitchen was buzzing as cooking began for our annual “Community Breakfast”. Despite the weather, staff from both Laval Junior High School and Laval Liberty High School made their way to school to greet guests and serve up a delicious hot breakfast. This event is attended not only by our students and their families but school commissioners and school board members are always in attendance. Aside from the wonderful meal, the games room was open for anyone who wanted to go. As well, our athletic department geared up for a floor hockey game, where spectators watched students and staff members go head to head. While the event was taking place, some staff members were busy filling food baskets with items donated from our students. These baskets were delivered with the hope of making Christmas special for the families who received them. All proceeds from the “Community Breakfast” were donated to AGAPE. It is with great pride that each year we are able to put together a wonderful event that benefits our community and shows our students the real spirit of giving. A huge thank you must go out to the organizers of the event. Without them, this breakfast would not take place.

“When I see the Green Brigades and I see the work being done in these schools, I tell myself that we are on the right path,” said Vaillancourt. “Our school board is very proud of the participation of its Laval schools in the eco-schools certification program,” said Albina Pace, the SWLSB commissioner for Ste-Dorothée and part of Fabreville. To be certified, the schools had to develop better management of waste materials while promoting sustainable development through an educational program.

During the same month, the city also announced the creation of an Ombudsman’s Bureau to deal with residents’ complaints about municipal departments and services. The special office will be dealing only with problems involving departments and services and will have little or no contact with city council. “We are restricted to review any act that might be performed by municipal services,” said Diane Lemelin, a Laval resident who is the bureau’s volunteer president.

Three Secondary 1 Laval Junior High School students (Peggy Koroneos, Christina Kostarides and Marilena Papadopoulos) were hosted by Senators Pana Merchant and Leo Housakos at the Government Conference Centre in Ottawa on December 8th and then again at Laval’s City Hall by City Councillor Basile Angelopoulos. They are members of an international team responsible for a DVD for children entitled: “E Mayiki Floyera” (The Magic Recoder), a massive trans-Atlantic production featuring 54 Canadian children, 20 Greek children and a 55-instrument Canadian symphonic orchestra. More than 200 people collaborated on this unique cross-cultural project, the product of a partnership between Canada and Greece to unify the voices of two children’s choirs from Montreal and Athens. Together with the Ensemble Sinfonia de Montreal conducted by renowned Maestro Louis Lavigueur, the Chroma Musika/Socrates Children’s Choir recorded alongside the children’s musical group and Greek sensations, Ta Zouzounia. It should also be noted that the talent had by LLHS music concentration teacher, Mrs. Elaine Thomas, is also featured as she plays the clarinet in the Ensemble Sinfonia de Montreal.

The students sang excerpts from the Magic Recorder both in Ottawa and in Montreal. Chroma Musika Directors, Maria Diamantis and Dimitris Ilias presented a special behind the scenes “how-it-was-made” video. Ta Zouzounia founder, Mrs. Katerina Giannikou, flew in from Athens to participate at both the Ottawa and Laval DVD launches. These special presentations were supported by the Embassy of Greece in Canada, AHEPA Canada and the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal. During the Laval presentation in the Council Chamber, as a Laval resident and member of the Chroma Musika Choir, Peggy Koroneos spoke eloquently in French with regards to the pride all choir members have with regards to this massive audio-visual project and the educational opportunities received. Congratulations, Girls – You are international stars! We are very proud of your dedication and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohzvtOVZ5DI accomplishment!!

Right On Time For The Holidays

aval Liberty High School’s Theatre Concentration Program performed a “Christmas Carol” by Charles “Christmas Dickens on December 8th, 9th and 10th. The play was a great success for both the viewers and the actors. The story of Scrooge is a classic Christmas tale. It is about an old man who has a dismal view of Christmas until he is visited by three spirits. They show him his past, present and his future. Through an emotional journey, Scrooge finds himself baffled and, in the end, wants to change his life around. It truly captures the spirit of the Holidays for all. Being a part of these performances was a great experience. The students in Theatre Concentration had an amazing time and spent a lot of energy and time working hard on this play to make it a memorable one. Being part of something like this is like being with your family. Theatre Concentration serves as a positive environment where students can be themselves and find their voice through the characters and roles that they play. This play was particularly successful because of the loving and caring chemistry between all of us. We’d like to thank our teacher and director, Ms. Vruggink and assistant director Ms. Smith for their time and effort in making this play so amazing. We’d also like to thank Antonia Lambiris, our stage manager, costume designer and fellow actress. Without her help, this show would not have gone so smoothly. A big thanks to everyone who participated in the preparation or production of this performance. Finally, a big thank you to all those who attended and supported our performances. Memories like these stay with you forever and having such a good first show, will make us work even harder to make the second one an even greater success. By: Maria Emmanouelides – Secondary 4

A Musical Holiday Season

o help put our community in the Holiday spirit, on December 14th, Laval Liberty’s Music Concentration Program performed our annual Holiday Concert. It was a great night filled with emotion and an opportunity for us to share our love of music with others. The concert began with an energetic rendition of Jingle Bells by J.S. Pierpont and ended with heart warming version of Celtic Bell Carol, by Robert W. Smith. At the end of the show, friends and family were ready for the Holiday season. Thank you to all who attended the show – our Music Concentration Program will benefit from your support. Putting this Holiday Show together took a lot of time and effort on all our parts, but the result was well worth it. An extra thanks to our student conductor Arunen Chellan for helping out. Last, but not least, our program wouldn’t be as successful if it wasn’t for our teacher and mentor. We send a big thank you to Ms. Elaine Thomas for all her support and time. Behind every great performance, there is a great conductor, and we appreciate all she does for us. Music Concentration is a program where students learn and improve their musical skills. We not only get to learn about theory and practice playing our instruments, we also get to perform various shows and musicals. We all have a role to play in the program and each of us has something to offer in the music that we play. As a Music Concentration student, I can proudly say that this program is award-winning. For two consecutive years we’ve achieved a gold standard in national and regional music competitions. We plan on maintaining our golden reputation and continue to strive even further with each performance. By: Mercedes Bleau – Secondary 5

The Bottom Line

I have been dating my boyfriend a little over seven years. We are now in our mid20s. We always talked about getting married, getting a place together, and having a family. Almost two years ago he lost his job due to downsizing and has yet to find another full-time job. I graduated with my master’s and started working at a job right away. Now I am fortunate to be in my dream career. I’m ready to get my own place and move on with my life, but my boyfriend is still nowhere near there. How long should I wait for him to get his life together before I date people who are going somewhere in their lives? Or should I be perpetually patient and stick it out? I love him and can’t imagine myself with anyone else, but it is very frustrating. His lack of a job prevents him from moving on with me. I’m getting my own place regardless. Anne

Kiss And Tell

I am 18 and I was in a relationship with my ex-boyfriend for a year. We consummated our relationship by sleeping together. We had a real connection, and I was the only one he could simply sit down and talk to. Lately we fought. After that it was a cycle. Arguing and fighting, talking and resolving, then right back to arguing. It was horrible. Every day I found myself feeling more depressed and alone. Finally I broke it off. I ignored him for a month, which was not easy. Then I met the new guy at work. He is 21 and treated me like a queen from the start. We have been involved for three months. I’m not saying we’re going to run off and get married. I’m 18 for crying out loud! But we do have a solid connection. I slept with the new guy. I finally got the guts to tell my ex about us and what we had done. It was hard Anne, it’s a good thing for your boy- for me because I know how much friend you see that his lack of a job he still cared about me. After my ex affects your feelings for him. Instead of found out, he used every curse word in the dictionary, saying how much we, you see it as me. Three elements are at work here. One he hates me and how big a slut I am.

Chicken thieves snagged

The Laval Police have charged four men between the ages of 27 and 54 with possession of stolen goods after they unwittingly tried to sell 72,000 kilograms of deboned chicken back to the person they originally took it from. The chicken was in a tractor-trailer destined for Toronto when it disappeared from a parking lot on Jan. 2. According to the police, the following day the rightful owner received a call from a person who asked if he wanted to buy a large quantity of deboned chicken for $4.50 per kilo. He agreed to meet them the following day, but at the same time also told the Laval Police. Because the thieves hadn’t bothered to uncrate the chicken from its original packaging, the owner immediately recognized it as the packaging bore his company’s logo. Police arrived within a few minutes and recovered 350 cases of chicken, although the stolen tractor-trailer was still missing. After being arraigned, the four suspects were released on a promise to return for court proceedings at a later date.

Dépanneur thief

The Laval Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a convenience store robber with a fairly original modus operandi. During a theft he committed at the Couche Tard outlet at 1300 de la Concorde Boul. late one night last November, the suspect selected a number of items and took them to the checkout counter, where he also asked for two cartons of cigarettes. After making two attempts to pay for the merchandise with a debit card, he grabbed the bag of merchandise and left, while threatening the clerk with violence if he tried to follow out onto the street. The suspect is white, around 25 years old, and spoke French. He was around six feet tall and weighed about 215 lbs. He was wearing a red windbreaker with a hood, a black sweater and blue jeans. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police at 450-662-INFO (4636) or 9-1-1. The police dossier number is LVL 111116 094.

Shooting at Studio 300

A notorious strip joint that re-opened with much fanfare recently at the corner of Curé-Labelle and Sainte-Rose boulevards in Saint-Rose was the site of a shooting incident last month during which four people were injured. On Dec. 18, the Laval Police responded to a call concerning a dispute which broke out between two groups of people at Studio 300. According to Laval Police spokesman Franco Di Genova, around 150 people were in the establishment at the time, when “next thing you know shots were fired.” When the police – two officers and a sergeant – first arrived on the scene, people were fleeing the club and cars were quickly driving out of the parking lot. Attempts were made by the police to prevent potential eyewitnesses from leaving. Inside, two men, all in their early 20s, were found to have been injured by gunshots to the abdomen. Their injuries

were not life-threatening. A woman also suffered lacerations to her forearms, chest and legs from broken bottles and glasses that scattered on the floor where she crouched for safety during a brawl. A fourth victim with injuries was later located by police some distance east at des Laurentides and Sainte-Rose boulevards. Two of his buddies dialed 9-1-1 to report that he was bleeding badly. Arriving on the scene, UrgencesSanté found out why: there were two bullet holes in him. Three weeks after the incident, the Laval Police were still trying to establish exactly why this all happened, according to spokesman Di Genova. “It just appears to have been a dispute between two groups of party-goers and it just degenerated from there,” he told LPD Blue. The police know that just one firearm was involved.

taurant/bar patrons, the Laval Police intercepted a car in which five suspects were heading south along Curé-Labelle. They were stopped across the street from Chenoy’s restaurant in Chomedey. Of the five, four had relatively minor injuries, including cuts and bruises sustained in the earlier altercation. A fifth who had been stabbed in the back was not expected to survive, although his condition subsequently improved. Again, the police had no immediate explanation for why the confrontation broke out, although it could just have been some seasonal celebrating that got way out of hand.

According to Di Genova, the man said he was mystified as to why he was targeted for such an act. “He had no previous threats of any kind and he gets along with his neighbours,” Di Genova said, adding that the police are also looking into the possibility that it was a case of mistaken identity.

Car death on New Year’s Day

On Jan. 1, the new year got off to a tragic start for a young woman who was killed in a car crash on des Mille-Îles Blvd. near Gariépy St. at the far east end of Laval. At around 12:20 a.m., she and her male companion who was driving, both 24 years of age, hit a street lamp standard while navigating a curve in their Honda Civic. The impact was on the passenger side where the woman was seated. She was declared dead at 1:55 a.m. at Cité de la Santé. The driver was also transported to hospital with minor injuries. While blood samples were taken from him, there was no immediate word as to whether drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash.

Bald is Beautiful From left to right: Physical Education teacher Oliver Gagnon, student Justin Linhares, and Physical Education teacher Gary Yip are ready to be sheared!

(TLN) Laval-les Îles NDP MP François Pilon met recently with Jean-Pierre Gariépy, the head of Laval’s police department, to discuss the impact that the abolition of the long gun registry could have on the work of Laval’s police officers.

t is official. Certain men from Laurier Senior High School have shaved their decorative staches and heads to raise awareness for prostate and breast cancers. During the month of Mo-vember ( November), the students and staff have been actively involved in raising funds to attain their goal of raising $4000 in order to meet the challenge. And what a challenge it was!

Principal Nick Primiano looks happy with his new “do” or no “do”

On November 1st, teacher Armen Karamanukian set out to recruit male staff to participate in this year’s Mo Bro Journey. The following Bald Eagles were eager to begin the campaign: Principal Nick Primiano, Vice Principal Sarmen Jakalian, and teachers Matthew Leduc, Michael Purdy, Pierre Home Douglas, Gary Yip, of course, Armen Karamanukian, Jason Graham, Frank De Luca, Oliver Gagnon, Daniel Desrosiers, and the school’s care-taker, Walter. Moreover, they would not only let their facial hair grow for prostate awareness, but they would also shave their full heads of hair for breast cancer following the courageous example set by fellow student Cecilia Bono, at LSHS who shaved her beautiful long locks last month for breast cancer awareness . In addition, as part of the fundraiser, the school’s principal, Mr. Primiano, set a goal; if the students wanted to witness him shaving his head, a total of $4000 was required for him to lose his crop of hair.

Cecilia’s Story

y head was shaved for breast cancer on October 18, in collaboration with Virgin Radio “Shave to Save”. This event took place at my school, Laurier Senior High School. However, I didn’t just wake up one morning and decided to lose all of my hair for this so important cause. I decided to take on this task since last year when a schoolmate, Claudia Estrada, did it. She really inspired me seeing her walking around the school with so much pride and happiness; she really made me want to do it.

With great determination, the students raised an unexpected grand total of $3447.74. We fulfilled the set goal through multiple dress-down days, a tuque sale, and, most importantly, volunteer students that roamed the halls collecting loose change from students and educators that were willing to donate to this important cause. Our aim was finally reached thanks to the donation made by Mr. Vincent Auclair, MNA for Vimont for the balance to ensure a bald “Primiano”. The money raised was sent to help researchers develop cures for breast cancer and prostate cancer… two major killers that have to be stopped. And on November 30th as the world participated, the moment of truth also faced these daring and brave men. The faculty lost their precious hair in front of the entire student body. Cheering and encouragement was expressed by all attendees toward the men for their bravery and dedication. Then, on December 1st, in a separate shave, Principal, Nick Primiano became bare! No more hair and no more mustache. This journey was an experience like no other and has taught us that if we try really hard, nothing is impossible. Code 31, a band made up of a group of teachers that are incredibly talented performed, entertained and eased the nerves of the many who participated and witnessed this first ever event at Laurier Senior High School. Maybe they should be named the Barbershop Quartet although there are six in the group. Remember them? In addition, the following students deserve recognition since they were of major help throughout the entire month of November: Melissa Doulis, Gabriella Fiorino, Mara Pollici Bellante and Justin Di Genova. They helped collect donations for the fundraiser and kept count. They also helped set up our auditorium and bravely shaved some of the Mo Bro’s heads. Congratulations and thank you to all those MEN who contributed and helped make a difference in such an entertaining way, in the hope of saving lives. By: Angie Lumia - Level V Student Cecilia Bono is beaming with pride

Every time I saw her I thought to myself, “she has guts; I would never be able to do that!” Look at me now! I did it! For the event to happen, I had to raise at least $2,000 for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation. With the help of my friends and family, I reached my $2,000 objective and even surpassed it by $380.00. I thank everyone so much for supporting me, encouraging me, helping me, but most of all just for being there for me. I would also like to thank Claudia for inspiring me to take on such a courageous act, and my wonderful Mom for supporting me all the way. By: Cecilia Bono - Level IV Student
