Betty has what we all aspire to: health and wellness into our later years.

Betty has found the closest thing we have the Fountain of Youth: move, keep informed, and socialize.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine has sponsored evidencebased research on yoga and aging. Yoga can help with joint stiffness, low back pain, balance issues

and depression. Another study, Effect of Regular Yogic Training on GH and DHEAS as an Endocrine Marker of Aging, has found that a regular yoga practice increases production of GH (a hormone which stimulates cell growth and reproduction) and DHEAS (a hormone linked to immune function and heart health) . So yoga may slow down the loss of bone density and loss of muscle mass and also improve immune function and help guard against degenerative disorders (e.g. Parkinson’s).

Eva Brune, another of our

teachers, used to teach chair yoga at a senior’s residence in California.

The seniors who did the classes were more flexible, had greater mobility and improved mood and outlook. So these seniors were more autonomous and independent. They could dress themselves.

They slept better. They were more social. Aging is inevitable; dis-ease is optional.

When I told Betty I wanted to write a blog about her, she said, “Why me? I’m nothing special.”

Nothing special? Betty is what we all aspire to.

Very special indeed!

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale

www.autosector.ca

• May 20, 2017

MONTREAL - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair.

That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home.

If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn

prospective buyers away altogether.

In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre- inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help home sellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To order a FREE Special Report, visit: www.montrealinspectionpitfalls.com Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

FrancoFolies, the outdoor shows

he sun was finally shining this past Tuesday when the organizers of the 29th edition of the FrancoFolies unveiled the outdoor program. For those who like French songs, this is a unique opportunity to attend a wide variety of concerts for free on different stages in the Quartier des spectacles, around Place des Arts.

The FrancoFolies will run from June 8 to June 18, but this year it would add some extra events given the occurrence of two iconic anniversaries.

On June 18, from 3 p.m. at the Ford Stage, and from 6:30 p.m. at the Bell Stage, the FrancoFolies will be celebrating the 375 years of Montreal with a monster concert. The event will include Les Cowboys

The other big party will be to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary, which will take place on June 27 starting at 2 p.m. at the Parterre Symphonique (Place des Arts). Under the title "Fêtons la diversité" the occasion will mark Canada's multiculturalism, with a broad range of activities that reflect the cultural diversity of our country.

Are toll charges coming for Downtown

D

And now Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre is tossing around an idea which might have drivers blowing a gasket (or two) and slamming on the brakes.

On April 6th, Mayor Coderre said he would be in favor of a new system that would charge drivers toll fees when heading into the city, citing that 'the extra fee would help curb congestion, while the revenues could be used to help fund public transit projects'. In theory it makes good sense, but in reality it might be a plan that backfires.

It's not a new idea. In 2009, then Mayor Gerald Tremblay also brought forth the concept of installing tolls on roads into the city to

By Bonnie Wurst leading help fund public transit.

But that was quickly mtltimes.ca nixed.

The possibility of bringyears of neglect - but the way it has been handled, ing it forth again is somewith a 'tough luck, just what of an about-face for suck it up' approach, has Coderre, who just a few created overwhelming years ago was completely congestion and headaches against the idea of charg(literally) not only for ing tolls on the new drivers, but for public Champlain Bridge and transit users as well. It back then he said he didalso has tourists question- n't want to introduce aning their plans to visit other tax but preferred here. Nonetheless, the encouraging public transit festivals and events will go use in the downtown on and many will still area.

According to a 2016 brave the concrete jungle paths. It's Montreal's 'Joie study by Inrix (a global du Vivre' that will keep SaaS and DaaS company which provides real-time everyone coming. riving your car into downtown Montreal has been anything but easy for years now, especially since major infrastructure projects began, and it is expected to continue for several more.

She refused to approve the plan until the

city comes up with a more efficient and practical transit system for drivers who commute from the suburbs - basically the same reason many drivers in the Greater Montreal area keep using their cars.

But for those opposed to the idea of a 'congestion tax' toll for downtown, it is a 'Catch-22' situation on several levels.

For one, the fact remains that the city requires ways to pay for the road and infrastructure work which drivers need and use. And for another, regardless of all the detours and roadwork, there are too many cars on our city streets and they are a major cause behind many smog alerts. If more people de-

cide not to drive their cars downtown because they don't want pay a toll - pollution levels will drop.

It could even be considered a necessary evil at this time in history, a time when the negative effects of climate change have become a reality - and we are running out of time to do something about it.

Perhaps if Montreal's public transit system would live up to the hype promoted by the city, the transition would be easier.

Montreal would not be the first in the world to charge fees and tolls for cars in city centers. Anyone who has been to London in the past few years knows to be prepared to pay the $20

CDN 'congestion fee' in order to drive a car into the city.And San Francisco has been charging 'congestive pricing tolls' for years now on the Golden Gate Bridge.

As Montreal tosses the idea around, there are no details yet on how it would work or just how much drivers would be charged - and with elections coming up this year, it remains to be seen whether the project will even be officially presented or implemented.

Would you be willing to pay a toll to take your car downtown? Would you opt for public transit instead? Or would you simply refrain from going downtown?

Sancerre the home of Sauvignon Blanc

Playing Hockey for a Good Cause - Sun Youth O n April 29th, the Ligue Fédérale des As (LFA) held its Grand Finale for the 2017 season in collaboration with the Brotherhood Hockey Association. The finale featured the Meteors and the Avengers in an exciting game worthy of the NHL playoffs. The Meteors came back from a three-goal deficit in the third period and forced overtime. They finally defeated the Avengers 7-6.

This championship game was one of the most exciting in the LFA’s history.

Over the years, the LFA and the Hockey Brotherhood Association have supported various programs at Sun Youth.

Thanks to their many fundraisers, more than $10,000 have been donated to Sun Youth. This year, a record number of people came out to support the boys and helped raise $8,225 for Sun Youth's SLAP Hockey program.

Its mission is to introduce to our national sport children between the ages of 5 and 13 years old. By focusing on the fundamentals of hockey the kids gain a strong foundation to build upon. The players are first taught basic skating skills and eventually

progress to concepts concerning teamwork. SLAP Hockey also places a strong emphasis on the importance of education.

This year over one hundred children from ParcExtension and Pierrefonds-Roxboro programs were able to learn and play in a positive environment.

Sun Youth would like to thank the organizers of the event and its many sponsors and donors, as well as all of the volunteers, the players from both teams and the hockey enthusiasts for their support. A special thanks goes out to the LFA for the positive role it plays in the community.

Focus on public transit: The Global Public Transport Summit - Driverless mini buses

ity to transport people around a little square in front of the Palais des congrès, the site of the Summit.

It was certainly important for Montreal to hold this international event that congregated representatives from government agencies, manufacturers of public transit vehicles, academics, engineers and managers of transportation companies from around the world. At this time, some important new projects are planned for the region, such as the controversial LRT system to connect the South Shore, downtown, Laval, and the airport.

Some demonstrating their abil- aspects of this evolution have to do with the

deal with this goal within the constraints of their respective realities.

Another important topic was precisely the integration of public transit in the design of cities. Of course, in the immense majority of cases, moving people around has come as an addition to cities already designed and built in a particular fashion.

Public transport has had to adapt—and not always very successfully— to the needs and developments of cities. In some cases extremely dense areas, next to spaces with low population, industrial neighbourhoods demanding service at certain hours while quiet at other times, and so on. Situations of flexibility in the market and how to plan Look ma, no driver!

Transport Summit - Driverless mini buses Discussing the evolution of transit

continued from Page 13

The Summit also covered other topics related to public transportation.

Among those, the controversial issue of informal transport around the world (i.e., Uber and other such schemes), adapted transit to provide disabled people with efficient transportation, school transport, and the introduction of digital technology in various fields, from providing realtime information to users about the bus they are waiting for, to the control of signalling for metro cars and trains, to automatic operation of metro cars and light-rail trains, even to the introduction of driverless buses.

At a time when there is a renewed focus on public transportation, in part due to the need to develop a greener lifestyle,

public transit—even in North America where people tend to rely on private transportation more than in other continents—is becoming increasingly important.

Robert Puente, a keynote speaker at the Summit and CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, summarized the challenges this new situation brings to all parties involved: "We are living through an era of historic change that is changing the need, purpose, and function of our transit systems. At the same time, we should recognize the financial and political challenges ahead and the complexities inherent today. We need to figure out new solutions for the delivery, design, and financing of transportation, and make them the norm rather than the exception."

Many exhibitors were advertising their products at the Summit, Bombardier, the largest public transit manufacturer in Canada, was very prominent The Transdev is another model of driverless minibus--also from France--able to transport 6 people seated and other 4 to 6 standing.

It aims to serve airports, large university and corporate campuses, and small communities

32 Governors’ nd

Ball – THE PARTY

O

Governors’ Ball cocktail in the Courtyard of Windsor Station

n Friday, May 12, 2017, at the historic Windsor Station in Montreal, the Italian-Canadian Community Foundation’s 32nd Governors’ Ball, a.k.a. THE PARTY, took place with great success.

The event was organized under the presidency and innovative vision of Emilio B. Imbriglio, President and CEO of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton.

Newly branded as THE PARTY, this was the first time a Governors’ Ball was held in the spring rather than in the fall, an adaptation proposed by Mr. Imbriglio. The evening served as a celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Leonardo da Vinci Centre and to raise awareness about the Unitas initiative, as well as a symbolic rebirth for the Foundation. The goal was to bridge the gap between the older and the younger generations and to engage the new generation of leaders. This change was felt immensely, with waves of giddy excitement electrifying the sold-out crowd, floral patterns on bright display and a trendy incorporation of social media.

During his address, Joey Saputo, FCCI President, explained the evolving

philanthropic model of Unitas and its mandate of uniting five cherished Italian-Canadian community groups in Montreal to work together for the greater good. The coalition between the FCCI, the CIBPA, the Leonardo Da Vinci Centre, the Casa D’Italia and the National Congress of Italian Canadians served as an important backdrop to an evening that brought new and established community leaders together in a celebratory mood.

The FCCI also took this prestigious opportunity to introduce two New Governors: Me Richard Laramée (Partner, Kaufman Laramée), John Marcovecchio (Chief Executive Officer, Magil Contruction Canada); and four Successors: Franco De Lauri (Owner and President, Elio Pizzeria and Buffet Anna Maria), Rosario Ruggeri Jr. (VicePresident, Miracle Entretien D’Immeubles), Mark-Anthony Serri (Managing Director, MidMarket M&A, Royal Bank of Canada), Marco Tozzi (Vice-President, Les Entreprises Laurentien Électrique).

The Italian-Canadian Community Foundation had the pleasure of welcoming guests of honour: Martin Coiteux (Minister

of Municipal Affairs and Land Occupancy, Minister of Public Security, Minister responsible for the Montreal region), Marco Riccardo Rusconi (Consul General of Italy in Montreal), Lucien Bouchard (27th Premier of Quebec), Nicola Di Iorio (MP, Saint-Léonard - SaintMichel riding, Liberal Party of Canada), Angelo Iacono (MP, Alfred-Pellan riding, Liberal Party of Canada), David De Cotis (Deputy Mayor and ViceChairman of the executive committee of Laval), Michel Bissonnet (Borough Mayor of SaintLéonard), Marisa Ferretti-Barth (former Senator for Repentigny), Giuseppe Borsellino (President, Groupe Petra and Founder of the Governors’ Ball).

The FCCI would like to thank Joey Saputo (President, Montreal Impact/Stade Saputo), Emilio B. Imbriglio (President and CEO, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton and President of the Governors’ Ball), Anna Giampà (Executive Director, FCCI), the members of the Board of Fiduciaries, THE PARTY Committee, the Foundation’s Governors and all those who attended and contributed to the event.

e tend take their coinage for granted today, giving little thought to the origins of our money. Most people would be surprised to learn that there was no such thing as a Canadian dime or quarter 160 years ago. Instead of the nickels and dollars that now occupy our pockets, Canada’s money consisted of a hodgepodge of foreign coins and privately issued tokens from E n g l a n d , France, Spain, the U.S., and local merchants.

It was not until 1857 that a decimal system was adopted for the Province of Canada, introduced to facilitate trade with our Southern neighbours.

The new system was based on the dollar and denominated in cents, five cents, ten cents, and twenty cents.

There were no twenty five cents, fifty cents, or silver dollars issued back then.

Quarters and half dollars were first struck in 1870, while silver dollars made their first appearance in circulation in 1935.

Province of Canada officials ordered new coins from London’s Royal Mint in 1858. The head side (obverse) of all four denominations featured the

By Michael Joffre mtltimes.ca

portrait of a young Queen Victoria with CANADA below and VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA around the borders. The reverses of the five, ten, and twenty cent coins displayed the denomination and date

centred below a crown and between a wreath of maple. The cent had a slightly different design with a serpentine motif of 16 maple leaves encircling the entire reverse.

Mintages for the 1858 coins ranged from 730,000 twenty cent pieces to 1.5 million cents. The coins were issued through banks, but the totals supplied were insufficient to fully meet the commercial demands of all Canadians.

Still, it was a start.

The coins of 1858 are all moderately available today. A well-worn five cent can be obtained for as little as $15. The cents and twenty cents coins are scarcer, but can still be found for around $50. Of course, mint condition 1858 specimens or interesting varieties can command far greater prices, reaching into the thousands of dollars.

As might reasonably be expected, the 1858 Province of Canada coins are highly collectible and always in demand. Anyone trying to put together a first-year set will require an example of each 1858 coin, ensuring their continued popularity.

'Meet Zeus the Workout Dog'

eus is a five-yearold Jack Russell Terrier who lives in St. Henri with the Hanson family - and his energy keeps them in good shape. Zeus, by nature, is a hunter and he needs constant exercise to keep him happy… or he might tear up the house, as they learned from his previous owners.

"Two years ago, a friend of my husband who lives in Ottawa with his family was looking for a new home for Zeus, as they felt their lifestyle was not in sync with his needs.

24

Jack Russells need a lot of exercise and running around outdoors - and

but our lifestyle was compatible with his needs.

And with the kids now young adults, we thought we could do it," said Didier his 'mom'.

Both she and her husband work mostly from home and if they need to go out, one of their children is usually around.

"We also have a big backyard with a good fence and plenty of places around here we found, their work hours had him where he could chase at home alone a lot. Well, after his 'prey' - in his case we used to have a dog like it's one of many balls or that and knew what a Frisbees… or one his fachallenge that could be… vorite sticks he adopts

and takes home with him."

Zeus likes to join them on their daily runs, but if they are in a new or wooded area they have to keep him on a leash - or he takes off after every squirrel or bird he sees and is not easy to catch.

He is also a very alert dog.

"Jack Russel Terriers make very good watchdogs, and if he just sees

www.mtltimes.ca

someone walk by outside he starts barking and howling! But we found a way to calm down by training him to run on our treadmill… with a stick dangling in front of him on the machine!"

Once he has his 'energy fix' he settles down and can be very affectionate, happy-go-lucky and even funny.

"He does this thing where he rolls over and
