Once upon a time, the location that now hosts Restaurant Anancy (6587 Somerled Ave., 514-486-2629) was a Jewish book store that morphed into a terrific stationary and magazine shop. What’s interesting is that, even though food has supplanted literature as the key item for sale here, the spot is still a vast repository of knowledge. Owner George Grant is making sure of that. Grant, who hails from the Jamaican mountain village of Mandeville, is extremely knowledgeable of both his Jamaican history and the culture of national food that dates back to when the Spanish were expelled from Jamaica by the British in the 17th century. “Food is one way that we Jamaicans have maintained our history,” Grant maintained. Take jerk chicken and beef, for instance. When the Spanish fled to Cuba to escape the British, they unloaded many of their slaves and animals. “Hiding in the woods, the slaves needed to cook the meat to survive, but they didn’t want to create smoke from their fires. They cooked the meat in the ground and this basic method is still used today.” Ackee and saltfish with rice is another dish that has been prepared for hundreds of years. Jamaican rum and other goods would be shipped to England. “On the way there, they would pick up cod from Nova Scotia, take it back, salt and cure it and then mix it with local ackee fruit to create a dish that is still eaten today, in Jamaica…. and at Anancy,” Grant said.

Since opening in January 2008, Anancy has become extremely popular with diners from all cultural backgrounds, which makes Grant extremely happy. “I wanted this place to be different, presenting our national cuisine in a manner that Jamaicans would enjoy, but that the wider community would be interested to try, as well. And it’s working… we get people of all races, religions, cultures. Montreal is a pretty good place for that intermingling and I feel the people here are very open to exploring our differences.” It is the authorities worldwide that seem to have a problem with that, he added, not the majority of the populace. “Food is a great unifier and it doesn’t have to follow geographic lines to expand awareness and bring people together.” One subject that makes Grant extremely unhappy is the new restaurant cash register system the Quebec government is forcing entrepreneurs to purchase. Big Brother is one step closer to becoming reality. “I am really agonizing about it, because as a small businessman, they are forcing me to spend $4,000 on this new system, called MEV. It will allow Revenue Quebec to scan every dollar that comes into my restaurant. I have nothing to hide, but this huge expense hurts smaller restaurants the most and is nothing but one additional form of government control.” Still, Grant remains undaunted and he’s not afraid to take risks in business, it seems. It turns out that Anancy is but one of THREE businesses the 48-year old is operating currently. A practising real estate agent by trade, Grant also owns and operates a bagel establishment, of all things, on the South Shore. Brossard Bagel in Greenfield Park churns out bagels in wood-burning ovens that are easily as good as those at legendary spots such as St. Viateur and Fairmount Bagel and is about to expand to two locations, the other to be found on Taschereau Blvd. “Our bagels are authentic hand-rolled and are delicious, plus we will be adding Jamaican cuisine, as well,” Grant revealed. Grant ends with a challenge, promising that a visit to the beautifullyappointed, clean and fragrant Anancy will give you the impetus to learn more about his proud culture. “Jamaicans are known to be barrier breakers,” he stated. Now that I have a real hankering to sample ox-tail stew for the first time, I tend to agree. Anancy is open for lunch Tuesdays – Fridays from noon till 4:00 p.m. and for supper daily from 4:00 – 10:00 p.m. They also provide home delivery. Their website is found at www.anancyrestaurant.com and you can also check out Brossard Bagel at www.brossardbagel.com.

Actor Sheen has been troubled for a long, long time With Charlie Sheen burning up the entertainment media nowadays, I can’t keep my mouth shut anymore. Sheen is quite notorious, but is first and foremost a pretty good actor, the son of screen legend Martin Sheen and the brother of actor and director Emilio Estevez. Sheen’s actual name is Carlos Estevez. Despite the fact he’s quite talented in his own right, it’s his offscreen antics that mark his career above all else. His drug use, carousing with prostitutes, abusive actions toward his ex-wife and current partner… all these traits point to a very troubled individual. Well, I can state now that I have more than a random knowledge of Charlie Sheen’s character. I spent more than a month working with him, when I was the publicist on the 1997 feature film Free Money, most noteworthy in that it starred screen legend Marlon Brando in what would be the legend’s second-to-last film prior to his death in 2004. The Filmline International production, which shot in-and-around Montreal, was a pretty horrid film and never screened in theatres, playing instead on the USA cable network and later released on DVD. Starring Brando, the film co-starred a fairly impressive cast including Mira Sorvino, Thomas Haden Church (then a newbie to the big-screen) and Sheen. It also re-united Brando and Martin Sheen, who had appeared together in the seminal war film Apocalypse Now, in what was a surprise casting move arranged by the producer. As publicist, my most challenging role was working with Sheen, primarily on the interview slated for release as part of the Electronic Press Kit (the standard EPK, or “Making Of “segment). Brando pretty much ruled the set while he was working, dictating terms as he saw fit. I spent several days trying to get Sheen to agree to do the EPK interview and one Friday, I was informed that he had agreed to an interview the following day. By this time, about halfway through filming that summer, Sheen had already generated a nasty buzz in Montreal. He was reported by many witnesses as being drunk and acting erratically throughout downtown Montreal – one evening, he was seen drunkenly weaving across Crescent St. waving his jacket in front of him like a bullfighter, as he challenged oncoming cars - was regularly seen cavorting with hookers and had his own large trailer, his name emblazoned on the side, in which he was said to host some pretty wild parties. I did not witness this, but other members of the crew did. The morning of our interview, the production assistants told me to be ready for Sheen early, but I waited 3-4 hours before he finally turned up. To my surprise, he insisted that he would only do the interview if Church, with whom he had become buddies on set, would accompany him. I had no intention of interviewing Church, whose sole claim to fame at that time was the TV series Wings, but I had no choice. The interview took about an hour and, as evidenced by the VHS tape I still have in my possession, was total nonsense. Sheen and Church would not answer one question seriously and spent almost the entire time cracking up. The interview was quite unusable. My only other experience with Sheen directly occurred the night of the wrap party, at some downtown club. Arriving very late and drunk or stoned to the point where he could not walk straight, Sheen made an immediate beeline to my then wife, whom he subsequently tried to pick up. It was quite funny, actually, but also sad. The one thing I can say in Sheen’s defence is that, despite his nightly dalliances with booze, drugs and hookers, he always turned up on set ready to work. I never heard complaints that he was a liability to the production, although the negative publicity was certainly an embarrassment. Then again, so was the film… and Sheen had nothing to do with an awful script, directing, etc. With the cast they had, this should have been a winning production, rather than a mere footnote in history. I hope Sheen gets his act together before it is too late. Hollywood eats its young and it would be a shame if he can’t be helped, especially since his problems have become so public and, in fact, life-threatening.
Rand gone from Q-92? Anyone know about Aaron Rand’s departure from Q-92? I have heard he finally told station GM Mark Dickie - the one who fired Paul/Tasso and Suzanne Desautels - to shove it and that Cat Spencer is taking over. Pretty reliable source. Local Morot loses to idol at Oscars Local F/X wizard Adrien Morot, one of Canada’s best (whose firm, Maestro F/X, handled the aging of Paul Giamati in Barney’s Version) lost an Oscar in the Best Makeup category to his idol, Rick Baker, who won with Dave Elsey for The Wolfman. But having this great guy, whom I’ve worked with many times, merely nominated was a great achievement. Now in his early forties, I estimate, Morot resided in Cote Saint-Luc for a period over a decade ago.

In preparing film clips for a course I’m teaching on genre in Toronto, I’ve had occasion to see, anew, some classic movies. A few, such as After Hours, haven’t held up, but most have. Here then are 10 movie classics you must see. Citizen Kane (1941): Orson Welles’s powerful drama, loosely based on the life of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, is a remarkable achievement, utilizing cinematic techniques that are still startlingly modern. Amazingly, Welles was only 27 when it came out. The Godfather (1972) / The Godfather Part II (1974): Francis Ford Coppola’s two gangster epics, relating the tumultuous life of the Corleone family, are perfection itself, from the screenplays to the performances to the direction. And Nina Rota’s haunting score may very well be the best ever composed for the movies. Tootsie (1982): Dustin Hoffman plays an out of work actor who decides to re-create himself by dressing as a woman to gain employment. Directed by Sydney Pollack, Tootsie has a stellar cast, smart dialogue and hilarious situations. A great American comedy. M (1931): Peter Lorre delivers a stunning performance as a child killer in this disturbing German drama masterfully directed by Fritz Lang. Eighty years later, M still has the power to shock. Casablanca (1942): What can I say? Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in a love story set during World War II. Adventure, excitement and two iconic figures reliving their onscreen past. Play it again and again. Beetlejuice (1988): Tim Burton’s dark and funny horror comedy about a ghost couple who don’t want to leave their home is indescribably original. The set pieces, particularly the sequence set to Harry Belafonte’s ‘Day-O’ have to be seen to be (dis) believed. North By Northwest (1959) – One of Alfred Hitchcock’s best movies still stands out for the classic crop dusting scene with Cary Grant running for his life amongst the cornfields. An ingenious suspense movie. Carrie (1976): Director Brian De Palma turns Stephen King’s debut novel into a horror tour de force, the tale of a psychokinetic girl (played beautifully by Sissy Spacek at the start of her stellar career) and the disaster that strikes all around her. Gory, inventive and unforgettable.

Ten movie classics you must see
I like to read all kinds of literature, but by far I prefer fact-based books. There is nothing like being entertained and educated. I enjoy biographies (both auto and otherwise), memoirs, true crime stories and investigative journalism. I count among my favourite authors David Sedaris and Dave Barry, who tell stories based on their own lives and experiences seasoned with delicious bits of observational humour. If you are interested in similar reads: A few years ago I read I Killed, compiled by Ritch Shydner and Mark Schiff. It is an assembly of stories by stand-up comics, about their various adventures on the road. Given the authors and subject matter, one would expect I Killed to be a laugh riot. While there are more than a few hilarious tales, some are frightening, (where the comic in question became the target of an angry or violent mob), and others touching (like a comedian performing before a dying father). Fired!, written and edited by Annabelle Gurwitch, is an amusing assembly of stories about getting sacked. There are pieces about the first jobs of some celebrities, (like driving a cab or working at a deli), and how they were let go and why, as well as tales from everyday people. Also interspersed throughout the text are little sections called “Fired Facts” that contain interesting tidbits and statistics about employment and unemployment. Humorist Patrick McManus’s semi-fictional The Grasshopper Trap was one of the funniest books I have ever read. It details his childhood growing up in a rural Idaho (as if there any parts of Idaho that are not rural, but I digress) and his current life as an outdoorsman whose wife and daughters dislike hunting, guns and the “great outdoors” in general. Ghost Pine:All Stories True, by the very talented Jeff Miller, is an exceptional compilation of his essays from the acclaimed fanzine of the same name. In it he details his life growing up in bland suburban Ottawa and his adventures in Montreal’s underground, artsy, new bohemian society. Inspired and brutally honest, Ghost Pine takes the reader into a world average people rarely see. My favourite section is called “The Social Justice Club.” Didn’t we all have a similar experience in high school? There is no story like a true story. Read on! www.essaysbyandreas.com
A Night at the Opera (1935): The Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico and Harpo, wreak comic havoc at the opera in one of their best movies. The uproarious cabin sketch is a deserved comedic milestone.

Everything in Hollywood is image. Smoke and mirrors. Manufactured. I know what you are thinking... “Wow Steven, that never occurred to me. Thanks for enlightening us.” Okay, so it is obvious, it’s what we do here... but when you are in the trenches, trying to make a buck, just trying to get a job and work, everything seems mighty real. The pain is real, the bills are real, the rejection is real and one’s desperation is real. There is nothing like the Academy Awards (heck, the whole awards season) and their run-up campaigns to remind you what could be waiting for you at the other side of the rainbow. In my ultimate imaginary script, the one I have been writing and editing about my life, I am the Phoenix set to rise, just one little indie film away from that red carpet. What we see from our comfy couches is scripted. The “real” gets supplanted by the image-making machine, to the point one ponders whether or not these rarified people we put on this manufactured pedestal actually fart like the rest of us. It is all hermetically sealed for our consumption with a “sell by” date. As disgusting as they have been, Charlie Sheen’s recent outbursts are, as were Mel Gibson’s before him, cold blasts of ugly reality, examples of when a life goes off-script. As audiences we crave these unscripted moments, the drama... the public farting, if you will. Yet we still yearn for the glorified world embodied by the Academy Awards... the pubic fake-out. The other night I attended a low-key event put on by the lovely folks at SCREAMFEST - an annual horror film festival. The crowd was comprised of directors, writers, actors, make-up artists, etc... a really wonderful and eccentric group that traditionally works on the fringes of Hollyrock. On this night I spent some time with one Frank Ippolito. Frank is an incredibly talented make-up F/X artist - talk about a guy who knows a thing or two about manufacturing an image! Frank has been plying his trade behind the camera for a number of years and recently had the dubious honor of discovering what it would be like to suddenly have his life scripted for him. The SyFy Network here in the US has a reality competition show called FACE OFF, where young special effects make-up artists are pitted against each other not unlike Project Runway. I and my family had been watching religiously. Frank was the first real stand-out on the show: Stand out ass, that is. He was the show’s villain, but drinking and yakking with him left me with a completely opposite opinion. I mean, he loved my movie! The guy was so real and engaging, nothing like the Frankie on the show. What’s the world coming to? Even reality show characters are fake! When we said good-bye, he told me to; “tell your daughter you met Frankie and he was a nice guy - it’s all in the editing, I played the game.” And he was good! Academy Award good. Ok, maybe not so much…

Letters From L a L a L and - Steven Goldmann
Hollywood the ultimate image factory
Keeping in touch One important factor that avid networkers don't handle adeptly is keeping in touch with their potential and existing clientele. Entrepreneurs go to networking events, collecting as many business cards as they can, yet they don't successfully follow up with their potential customers. An even greater crime committed by entrepreneurs occurs when they successfully close a sale and then immediately move on to the next customer. Why is this a crime, you may ask? Before moving on to your next customer, you have already forgotten about the sale you just closed. What are you doing to thank the customer? What are you doing to encourage the customer to refer other customers to you? Where are your after-sale techniques, that could prevent you from taking money out of your pocket without you even knowing it? It is much cheaper to keep an existing customer than it is to attract new ones. The first thing you should do is create a newsletter and a list of all of your contacts. Each time you meet a potential client, or close a sale, you should add their email address to your list so that you can keep them up to date with new products, promotions and, most importantly, keep you on top of their mind the next time they need your product or service. That customer will likely feel so appreciated after you kept in touch with them, they will happily refer their contacts to you. Once they are referred by someone who has had a positive experience, your network of referrals will keep growing and growing. Unfortunately, entrepreneurs believe that if a customer is happy with their product or service, they will automatically refer you to their contacts. Most of the time, you have to ask for referrals, or ask them if they know of anyone who could benefit from your products or services. What happens when you don't cultivate soil? Your plants don't grow as well, right? The same concept applies to your customers. Another way to cultivate your clientele is to offer them benefits for doing business with you or promoting your product or service. If you are a real estate agent for example, you can offer your client the option of having their move or their notary costs paid for, should they do business with you. People love getting deals, and if they save a few thousand dollars by doing business with you, I promise you that they will talk to their friends and family about you. If there is one point I want to impress upon you most, let it be this: The relationship is most important above all else. Make sure that you are kept top of mind by establishing a program that allows you to keep in touch with your clients. Whether it is an occasional phone call, a birthday card, or a holiday card, these are all effective ways to show you care, you're thoughtful and that they mean more to you than a sale. It takes a little more work to do the extra "keeping in touch," but I am confident that it will send the strong message that you value the relationship and want to please them for life.

Let’s Get Physical –
Q&A on concussions With so many reports about concussions in the sports media these days, we asked our resident physiotherapist to enlighten us on the matter: What should parents, coaches and athletes know about concussions? RV: Concussions are a very serious medical issue and should be dealt with by professionals who know and understand the injury process and healing of a concussion. Most athletes I see for a concussion don’t realize that they have or had one. So you’re saying that people are still very unclear on what a concussion is? RV: Yes that is very true. In a study performed on Canadian university football and soccer players on their perception of concussion symptoms, it showed that close to 3/4 of them experienced concussion-like symptoms but only 1/3 of them realized they actually had a concussion. This clearly shows that the need for educational awareness is required at all levels of sports and athletics.
So what is a concussion? RV: Simply put, a concussion is an injury to the brain. Just like most other sports injuries there are gradients of severity that involve inflammation. But instead of decreased range of motion following an ankle injury there is decreased mental status and function in the case of a concussion. How does it occur? RV: A concussion will occur from a direct blow to the head, an impact causing a sudden head movement similar to a whiplash or an indirect contact resulting in the head contacting the ground, ice or snow surfaces. What are the signs and symptoms coaches, parents and athletes themselves should be aware of? RV: Most common signs of a concussion include: headaches, being dazed or dizzy, memory difficulties, nausea, blurred vision and fatigue. But parents and coaches need to be alert to any sudden changes in awareness of the athlete. Skiers suffering from a concussion will often ask many questions and repeat the same questions. Be aware of any changes in personality… the person could become uncharacteristically aggressive, for example. They could also show changes in ability or loss of coordination. You have to
remember, as well, that a concussion is a serious medical injury and only trained professionals can do a proper evaluation. Being aware of the signs and symptoms can, however, prevent further damage. But isn’t unconsciousness a determining factor in the severity of a concussion? RV: Absolutely not. The study discussed previously showed that even athletes who considered themselves to only having their “bell rung” had concussion symptoms. You can suffer a severe head trauma without losing consciousness. In fact, most concussions do not involve loss of consciousness. So why is a concussion considered so serious? RV: It is a serious medical condition mainly because of the possibility of long term damage and disability occurring. Another consideration is the limited ability of the brain to heal itself. Once brain tissue and nerve complexes within the brain are damaged, they do not repair themselves. The last and maybe the most significant is the repeat factor. Concussions are cumulative injuries, the more you experience, the more severe the damage and the longer it takes to recover after each one. Physiotherapist Ronny Varga is owner of Action Sport Physio in Montreal West.

Business Profile
Billy Geez: Mainly because of the meat… and the mingle When last we visited with Angelo Anzovino and Mark Fraser, owners of NDG’s Bistro Billy Geez restaurant (6254 Somerled, corner Grand Blvd., 514-487-0876), the place was crowded, as is often the case. Weekdays at lunch-time, when students burst through the doors in anticipation of their favourite foods, or Saturday afternoons, when it is thick with families, Billy Geez is legendary to locals who have become regulars over the years. For the rest of us, visiting and trying a burger here for the first time is something of a revelation. So, when Billy Geez became a contestant in this paper’s first-ever burger competition, it was with a skeptical eye that anyone here considered that they just might emerge victorious. In fact, it was only through the urging of a former student who overindulged here once too often that they were included at all. Yet, at contest’s end, they actually emerged as a co-winner, proving that the The boys at Billy Geez striking up a hammy pose... but their burgers regulars had loads of common sense, and extremely good taste, after all. are all about the beef. L-R: Mark Fraser, Angelo Anzovino.
ASSISTANCE
For 20 years now, Anzovino has lovingly taken care of his diners, inviting his brother-in-law, Fraser, to join the happy mayhem more recently. We spoke with them both regarding why Billy Geez has become such a popular entity on the local business scene. “I think the meat we use has a lot to do with it,” Anzovino said. “It is supplied fresh daily and we certainly go through enough of it. But it also has a lot to do with the special secret sauce we use on our burgers, sauce that is made for us by a senior woman who hails from Grenada.” True enough, ask any fan about Billy Geez’s burgers and they all mention the sauce, two special sauces, in fact, as well as the melt-in-your-mouth burger patty.

The NDG-raised Anzovino, a graduate of Marymount High, has been in the business a long time, having worked as a bartender at TGI Fridays on Cathcart prior to taking over this establishment. Fraser, also from NDG, attended Concordia, studying psychology and sociology before working at various businesses. “I liked the place a lot and when Angelo invited me to join him, I thought it would be great to keep it in the family,” Fraser said. “All my buddies come by, and all sorts of people come here to enjoy a meal and to mingle, so it’s a great, happening place to work, never dull.” One thing about Billy Geez is that it is a small-but-comfortable place to go if you want something that’s fast to cook, but slow and enjoyable on the savourability scale. The prices are also very affordable, so while you’ll leave full, you’ll feel like you’ve spent nothing at all. Many people like to stop in to watch Habs games and other sporting events while chowing down, so make Bistro Billy Geez your next leisure destination.
