CSL Communications — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:39:10 -0400

Côte Saint-Luc, July 30, 2010 – The third annual Girls Summer Softball League All-Star Game scheduled for Sunday, August 8 from at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Park in the City of Côte Saint-Luc will raise funds for the Israel Cancer Research Fund.

Last year’s game helped raise more than $20,000 for research into pediatric oncology. The goal is to raise $30,000 at this year’s all star game, which is also being played in memory of Leon Blumer, a resident of Côte Saint-Luc and umpire-in-chief for many of the summer baseball and softball leagues that operate in this community and elsewhere. The City of Côte Saint-Luc has donated use of its baseball field for the event.

The Girls Summer Softball League All-Star Game, featuring the league’s best players, will take place from 7pm to 9pm. Prior to the game, the mothers of league players play each other in a friendly game from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. There will be raffle prizes, including consultations with nutritionists, naturopaths, personal trainers, yoga instructors and gift certificates to restaurants and stores.

Donations will be accepted on site on the day of the event. People can also donate in advance by calling the ICRF at 514-481-2723. Corporate sponsors include Restaurant Marathon Souvlaki, Schreter, and Solly’s Bakery.

Sixteen teams and 300 women ages 18 to 40 from all over the island of Montreal play in the Girls Summer Softball League. For more information about the event, contact the league organizer Sara Rosenblatt at sararosenblatt@hotmail.com or visit the event Facebook page by searching for the words “3rd annual icrf event”.

The Israel Cancer Research Fund/ICRF is a voluntary charitable organization that receives its total income from private donations. ICRF was founded in 1975 by a group of American and Canadian researchers, oncologists, and lay people determined to harness Israel's educational and scientific resources in the fight against cancer.

Mayor for a Day winner to visit city hall

CSL Communications — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:55:42 -0400

Côte Saint-Luc, July 30, 2010 – On August 3, 2010, Mayor Anthony Housefather will welcome the winner of this year’s Mayor for a Day essay-writing contest to city hall. The contest is open to grade 5 and 6 students.

The 2010 winner Leah Bessner, a grade 6 student at Hebrew Academy, will see how the City of Côte Saint-Luc operates on a typical day, beginning with a breakfast with Mayor Housefather. Leah will also tour city hall, the Eleanor London Côte Saint-Luc Public Library, and the departments of Public Safety, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation.

A committed student interested in math and reading, and a member of the Côte Saint-Luc swim team, Leah will gain a greater understanding of city services and activities. Leah, who one day hopes to be a lawyer, looks forward to her meeting with the city administration.

“I love living in Côte Saint-Luc,” Leah said. “I can’t wait to talk to the Mayor about his job and what it’s like to make important decisions.”

At the city council meeting on September 13, Leah will read her winning essay.

The Mayor for a Day essay-writing contest encourages students to tell the city what they would do to improve it if they were in charge. The annual contest was launched in 2007.

“One of our priorities in Côte Saint-Luc is to encourage students to learn about their city and their municipal government,” Mayor Housefather said. “We believe contests like these can help empower students by giving them direct access to their elected leaders and to matters that concern them.

“I was impressed with the number of interesting ideas expressed in the student essays. It was obvious that many students thought a lot about their city.”

Leah’s mother, Tina Kauffman, says their family regularly attends Côte Saint-Luc events and Leah’s father is a Volunteer Citizen on Patrol (vCOP). She says it was natural for Leah to be interested in writing an essay on how she would improve the city.

“Leah’s always been concerned about the world around her, so this will be a very exciting opportunity,” Tina said. “I’m sure she will tell the mayor how to make the city even better.”

Later this year, the city will launch a new junior advisory council, which will bring together young Côte Saint Luc residents to advise the city on youth-related issues.

The greatest love story ever told comes to you from Repercussion Theatre, Montreal's Shakespeare-in-the-Park company.

Two feuding families. Forbidden love between their teenage offspring. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare’s greatest and most popular plays with all the elements of a blockbuster. Duels. Untimely deaths. Low comedy. High drama. Bumbling nurses. Fumbling priests. Potions that work too well. Poisons that work even better. All fuelled by the mad, intoxicating fury of teenage love, whose passion inflamed a city and has enthralled audiences for more than 500 years. Why such undying appeal? Ask any teenager. Or better still, their parents.

Watch as the park is transformed by the story of Romeo and Juliet - so powerful, it transcends all genres, ages, genders and eras. www.repercussiontheatre.com
