ion in the Museum complex, which has grown in size by more than 25% in five years, with the addition of the Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion of Quebec and Canadian Arts and the Pavilion for Peace." For her part, Nathalie Bondil, Director General and Chief Curator remarked the great contribution that the new building and collection will represent for the Museum and Montreal in general: "This collection, which was already reinstalled in 2011, had grown from about 300 to 430 works. Today it has made a spectacular leap forward, totalling 750 works—a 147% increase since 2010 and 72% since 2011, barely five years later.This immense installation, following the story of art from the Middle Ages to the year 2000, has been enriched by the Hornstein donation." Sari Hornstein in her speech indicated that

"our parents weren't just great individuals and a remarkable couple. They were citizens who loved Montreal, their adopted city, and contributed to making it an even more wonderful place to live." A point also highlighted by Mayor Coderre, he also reminded the audience the circumstances in which the Hornsteins ended up in our city: they came here to escape the Nazi persecution of Jews. Premier Couillard also emphasized the generous contribution of people like the Hornstein and their contribution to Quebec. The Pavilion for Peace is located at 2075 Bishop St. and it will open to the public for free from November 19, 2016, to January 15, 2017. The fourth floor is dedicated to the art from the Middle Age to the Renaissance. The third floor contains works from the Golden Age in Holland and Flanders. The second floor

has artworks from the Baroque to the Napoleon time (the French, Italian, and English masters of the 17th and 18th centuries). The first level displays art from the 19th century to the year 2000 (from Romanticism to Contemporary art, this is also the largest gallery). The new building will also have an educational vocation, thanks to the donation of Michel de la Chenelière: "Art does you good! Yes, art can change, improve, even transform someone's life" this art benefactor said. Level S1 will be devoted to educational programs, with a family lounge designed especially for young visitors. Level S2 will contain a Rainbow Hall and a digital lab. For detailed information about current exhibitions and other activities at the MMFA visit: www. mbam.qc.ca/en/

How to sell a house that didn't sell

MONTREAL - If your home has just come off the market and hasn't sold, don't be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale. So Why Didn't Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period.

Don't risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a realtor, know the right questions to ask to save you time and money. Industry experts have prepared a free special report called "How to Sell a House that Didn't Sell" which educates you on the issues involved.

Meeting Sun Youth Heroes

W

hen I arrived at the Sun Youth headquarters to attend the launching of the annual Holiday campaign, one of the things that immediately caught my attention was the enthusiasm with which the people in charge of it are working. They aim at achieving the objectives of this year's efforts: to distribute over 5,000 Holiday baskets and as many toys to families in need.

FREDERICKSBURG,TEXAS – Last month, while in the midst of the maelstrom and madness that was the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, I decided to take a somewhat presidential escape and participate in a press tour of the Texas Hill Country region, and follow in the footsteps of the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Baines Johnson, or LBJ for short. Johnson, who served as president from 1963 to 1969, was known for his hardworking, bombastic style of leadership, especially when it came to working with the U.S. Senate and House See online for more: www.mtltimes.ca

Frank Carnuccio, Realtor has contacts and helps clients achieve dreams Sponsored

F

rank Carnuccio is one of the high performance real estate Brokers in Montreal, having dealt with over $500 million in real estate transactions during his career. Working out of the Sutton office in LaSalle, Carnuccio specializes in residential and revenue (rental) properties, mainly in Lachine and LaSalle. He brings a wealth of experience to his clients; he grew up in Lachine and now lives in LaSalle. Carnuccio has also been investing heavily into the real estate market himself for over 30 years. “I bought my first property at age 17,” says Carnuccio. “And I have purchased a lot of other properties since then.” Carnuccio, who has a reputation for putting in very long hours at the office, also has many contacts. “I have a large bank of potential buyers,” as he puts it. He also boasts an in depth knowledge of how financing works and can sometimes give clients tips on how to get their mortgage approved by a bank. Carnuccio talks about his work as “helping clients achieve their dreams of home owner-

• November 12, 2016

ship.” The Times is hearing a lot about a minority of home sellers and home buyers who are dealing with each other directly, cutting the realtor out of the equation. We asked Carnuccio about this phenomenon. “You know, usually the buyer and seller do not agree on a price, but the realtor can help bring them together,” explains Carnuccio. “A good realtor proves his worth just by taking time to explain what real value is. Also by better exposing a house on the market to more potential buyers, the seller usually gets a better price. Or by helping the potential buyer to consider more properties, the buyer usually gets better value.” Carnuccio suggests that while some people have the fantasy that they can “eliminate the middleman,” in reality, few clients want to be bothered with all the paperwork. A good realtor can also provide a valuable second opinion on key questions and be available to deal with potential buyers when the homeowners are busy with other obligations. In

fact, Carnuccio claims that most of his business comes from referrals from satisfied customers. Among the advice that Carnuccio gives to firsttime home buyers is to stress the importance of location. “For a young couple with no kids, the presence of nearby schools and amenities might not seem important. At least not until they try to sell their home,” he points out. “As beautiful as a house might be, it’s the laws of supply and demand that dictate the price.” He says that the only way to realize how good a deal you achieved when you bought is to see what price you get when you eventually resell. Another pitfall that he warns against is sinking too much money into a property. “At the end of the day, you might only get three quarters on the dollar…” An expanded service that Carnuccio offers is advice on wealth management, specifically about how to make money on the housing market. He relates helping a young couple into the market 20 years ago; that couple

now have a portfolio worth $3 million. “My philosophy is similar to that of Warren Buffet’s towards stock (buying and keeping): buy in a good location, and then hold onto the property for the longterm.” It is obvious that Carnuccio has a longterm vision of the market Carnuccio admits that the local housing market is heading into an adjustment period after a five year run as a seller’s market. But he notes that home owners who want

www.mtltimes.ca

Frank Carnuccio

to sell one property and then buy another (i.e. down-sizers) might end up doing alright in such a buyer’s market. “And it’s always a good time to buy,” offers Carnuccio. “A common mistake is to try and gauge the market, but economists often are not sure what is going on! Whenever you are in the mood to buy, just buy.” He relates his own personal experience with a second home in Florida, grinning about how he

bought at the top of the market when the exchange rates were unfavourable. “If I were to sell today, I would lose money. But eventually the market will swing around. And it’s a good location right beside the ocean. In fact, I’ve been buying some other nearby properties there.” Frank Carnuccio Groupe Sutton 514.364.3315 fcarnuccio@sutton.com www.fcarnuccio.com

Mtl375 - From a soapbox race to an ice canoe challenge at "Les Hivernales"

I

t has been designed as a celebration of Montreal's "Nordicity" and to make this point even stronger, it is a program of outdoor activities in the middle of the winter, it is "Les Hivernales." The lineup for this unique event planned to mark the 375th anniversary of Montreal was unveiled this past Monday, and it features activities to please everyone. "These celebrations for Montreal's 375th anniversary reflect the lively character of Montrealers, people who get out and do things and enjoy the four seasons for all they are worth, as families, or with friends, downtown and on our city streets and neighbourhoods. For Quebecers and tourists alike, this will be one more great reason to visit Montreal in 2017, to come along and celebrate, enjoy themselves, and discover our beautiful city," said David Birnbaum, MNA for D'ArcyMcGee, during the press conference. This festive winter program will start with Barbegazi—frozen beard—January 6-8, and 13-15, an obstacle race on the downtown streets. The ten participants who complete the race in the shortest time will share a $5,000 prize. Igloofest, an already emblematic winter event in the city which has brought electronic music to people in the Old Port, has added more days, more fun, and more family activities for this special occasion. Weekends of

January 12 to February 19. Another popular winter event, the Fête des Neiges, centred on family activities at the Jean Drapeau Park, will be held on weekends from January 14 to February 5. For this occasion, Fête des Neiges already promises a new ice-sculpted pirate ship, lively animation, good oldfashioned snow tubing, the Tyrolienne, the Ferris Wheel, dog sled rides, skating and live shows. • A Soapbox Race on St.

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

Denis St. promises to be one of the highlights of the Hivernales. Some 60 homemade soapbox cars will barrel down Saint Denis Street along a 280metre obstacle course: a competition that should be quite fun for spectators and participants. • A Pond Hockey Tournament will be held January 28-29 (rain date: February 4-5), an outdoor hockey championship that should have more than 500 participants hitting the ice on a dozen rinks on the

Olympic basin. • The Grande transversée du Saint Laurent on January 28 will offer Montrealers the opportunity to join in cross-country ski and snowshoe races. Snow Moon by Bike, on February 11, is a chance for cyclists to join in the fun. Another competitive event will be the Montreal Ice Canoe Challenge, on February 11-12, a spectacular canoe race on the Saint Lawrence River. • The Hypothermic Half Marathon on February 12 will take place at the Sainte Helene and Notre Dame islands, the participants could run the entire 21.1 km or 10.5 km or even make it a relay for two runners. A race of a different kind is the Polar Hero Race, on February 18, a 5 km, 25 obstacle race designed for the whole family. • Curling en Lumière on February 23 to March 11, will offer a different perspective on the game of curling: "For a truly unique interactive experience, try your hand tossing the rocks against the brilliant backdrop of a light and sound performance." "It all starts in 2017 by going outdoors to play!" said Gilbert Rozon, Commissioner for the Celebration of Montreal's 375th Anniversary, and with the variety of events that will be on hand this coming winter, it would be difficult to resist the temptation to join in the festivities.

'G!EE High School Showdown JFK Fundraiser'

O 48

11 a.m. - 1 a.m.

12

n Sunday November 20th at the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall at Concordia University, 140 students from 14 high schools across Montreal will be coming together to sing and dance their hearts out on stage with the goal to raise money on behalf of the Just for Kids Foundation (JFK). After months of practicing, students from Bialik, Centennial Academy, ECS, Herzliah, John Rennie, Kuper Academy, Laurier Macdonald, Royal Vale, Royal West Academy, Selwyn House, St. Thomas, The Study, Trafalgar and Vincent Massey Collegiate will be participating in the JFK's '7th annual G!EE High School Showdown' a singing and dancing competition inspired by the hit TV show Glee. They will be showcasing their talents in support of the Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH) and even though tickets have been sold out for some time now you can still support them by donating online (see links at the end of the article). The shows have raised more than several hundred thousand dollars over the years - but every year brings about continued challenges for the MCH, now at their new location at the Glen Campus. It is from initiatives like the G!EE Showdown which allow the hospital to continue to provide high quality healthcare to infants, children and teenagers. Close to 200,000 children are treated each year at the hospital and their need for state-of-the-art equipment is fundamental to being able to offer the level of care required. The foundation's vision is for the MCH 'to have all it needs to treat its young patients and help provide its world-class medical professionals with all the necessary tools to heal, using procedures that are as non-invasive as possi-

www.mtltimes.ca

ble'. It also helps parents sleep better, knowing their children are getting the best possible care. This year JFK's fundraising goal is $500,000 to help the MCH purchase 'high priority medical equipment' for the departments of Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Cranio-Facial Surgery and the NICU. Since its beginning in 1987 the foundation has purchased over $10 million worth of medical equipment for the hospital. JFK was founded over 28 years ago by a small group of concerned parents who saw the need to raise funds in order to purchase the urgentlyneeded equipment for the

hospital - equipment that is immediately put to use to diagnose and treat young patients. Since then, their organization has grown into a community of dedicated volunteers who continuously look for new and innovative ways for this very important cause. And indeed they have with the 'G!EE High School Showdown'. Not only are the students dedicated, helping to raise an impressive amount of money over the years, but participating in the show also creates bonds among them, providing amazing opportunities for team building activities while also working together to support the Montreal Children’s Hospital. In order to compete in the event, each team of

ten is responsible for raising a minimum donation/registration fee of $1,600 - providing a great opportunity for the students to get out into their communities and promote a very worthy cause. Last year nine Montreal high school teams competed in JFK's sixth annual 'G!EE High School Showdown' which took place at the Eric MacLean S.J. Centre for the Performing Arts. Dedicated and talented students 'wowed' the sold-out audience with their singing and dancing performances. Their efforts raised an impressive total of $125,000 for the MCH and it would not be surprising if they surpass it this year. It is a 'showdown' and therefore competition is in the air. At last year's event, 1st place went to Selwyn House with their 'Beatles Medley'.Trafalgar took 2nd place with their performances of 'Listen' (Beyonce), 'Superstition' (Stevie Wonder) and 'Survivor' (Destiny’s Child), followed by Bialik in 3rd place with their 'Journey Medley'. But no matter which school wins, the real winners are the students themselves - and the children at the MCH who will benefit from their hard work and dedication.With students like these, the future of our world looks quite bright indeed. This year's show is sponsored by Ardene and promises to be an amazing event. If want to know more about the Just For Kids Foundation, or haven't bought your tickets on time and would still like to support your favorite team or alumni school - you can go online and click on the G!EE icon under 'Upcoming Events' on the left side bar at: http://jfkfoundation.ca Look out for the article in the Montreal Times after the 20th to find out how the show transpired!

of Dr. Robert Oppenheimer who, upon witnessing the test explosion of the first atomic bomb, wistfully quoted the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” As if to say that, as the fathers of the atomic bomb, perhaps without considering the implications of what they had done, and what they were about to do, America had become the architect of its own destruction. That is, perhaps, too heavy a burden to place on the shoulders of American voters who, this past Tuesday, installed Donald Trump as the leader of the free world. But it is indeed in the spirit of the death knell that Hillary supporters started sounding as Trump began his slow but steady pull toward electoral victory on Tuesday night. It is no longer the time to argue whether Clinton would have been a better choice, or whether Trump is indeed the right choice. The die was cast, and there is no going back. All that Trump detractors can hope

and pray for now is that their fears and concerns were unfounded, and that he’ll surprise everyone and be a good president, and indeed make America what he and his supporters say is great again. But that’s not the way the human mind works. Especially not in the age of the Internet and social media. It is too hard to accept the truth when we are too tightly tied to our own perceptions of reality. There are still Birthers out there, knuckle-draggers who still believe either that President Obama was not born in the U.S., or that he is a Muslim Arab, despite evidence to the contrary. And there are those who feel that Obama and Hillary were so corrupt, so criminal, and so bad for America, that they had to get them both out at all costs, even if it meant putting Trump in the White House. This was not as interesting a campaign as the media made it out to be. In hindsight, it was banal, and lacked the class of a great presidential campaign. Trump and Hillary were

both simply too cocky, with Trump’s false bravado propped up against Hillary’s overconfidence. So, how did we get here? As media outlets got closer to the inevitable, they started to talk about how voters sent a clear message to Washington that they were tired of the way the system had been operating. I don’t buy into that rhetoric. They haven’t changed the system; they’ve just changed the president. As The Who sang in the aptlytitled Won’t Get Fooled Again, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” In the wee hours of November 9th, President-Elect Trump left the podium, after delivering one of the most lack-lustre acceptance speeches ever, to the opening operatic strains of The Rolling Stones’ You Can’t Always Get What You Want. But, as the song says, if you try sometimes, you get what you need. Okay, so let’s see what the new boss can do. I sincerely hope that he’ll surprise us all and become the president that America needs.

I

Mad about Alsatian wines

am horrified by myself. How is it possible that in 4 years of wine writing, I haven’t reviewed much wine from a beloved region that I recommend to everyone? I should fire myself for this gross oversight! When I first discovered Alsace many years ago with my wine mentor Christine that started my love of wine, it opened the world of white wine to me. Drinking wines from Alsace for the first time was like discovering a beautiful waterfall in the middle of a desert. It was like seeing Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. I swear if I close my eyes when I drink this stuff I’m transported to a sensory harem paradise. For me, the wine of Alsace is a pinnacle of whites. Ah, Alsace, if there was a contest to find a wine region of horrendous bloodshed and conflict in Europe, this smallest of all French wine regions would be a top contender. It’s a good thing so many people love it because the region has been through hell and back and it deserves recognition! Germany and France have been fighting over this wine crown for centuries. I’d love to tell you that it was because of the vineyards, but that would kind of violate my overly honest nature so I can’t. It’s just old-fashioned imperialism and land grab. Why? Location, location,

location. You see, humble Alsace is nestled between the Vosges Mountains on the French side and the Rhine River, Germany’s pride and joy. The locals there have been part of a ping-pong game for centuries and most speak 3 languages — German, French, and their own dialect Alsacien. You never know who may be ruling you next, so you better

and better. Alsace is peacefully part of France now, and Strasbourg is the seat of the EU Parliament and a very strategic, important center for European political life. It’s a calmer, gentler place. There are a bunch of different grapes grown in Alsace, but only 8 are considered high class. Riesling (the most widely planted), Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, Chasselas and Pinot Noir are the main grapes of the region. The real gems of Alsace are dry yet fantastic Riesling and Gewurztraminer (if you think of this wine as sweet, you need to look out a dry one from Alsace. It has all of the teashop flavors with none of cloying sweetness), and unbelievable Pinot Gris. Pinot Gris and Pinot GriBy Marco Giovanetti gio are the same grape, but are worlds apart in mtltimes.ca style.

St-Pius Culinary Institute

– where dreams come true and appetites are satisfied

A

couple weeks ago, I decided to attend a restaurant where the food and presentation was prepared by student cooks. St-Pius Culinary Institute located on Papineau Street in Montreal, is the home to aspiring chefs learning the nooks

and crannies of the cooking world. When I first walked in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, how can a cooking school impress me? Let me tell you, I was wrong. For just $25.00 taxes included, guests enjoy a full course meal accompanied with appetizers, a main course and a dessert. Definitely a bang of flavour for your buck! When I first sat down, I noticed that the eating area which seats 60 people every Thursday and Friday evening was full. To me, that was already a good sign. As the waiter took our orders and the food began appearing on our table, my taste buds were in for a treat. This was no student-run show. It is, but the food was 5 star quality. I guess that’s why they’re called the 5 Star Chefs. From the canapés to the panko crusted crab cakes, and then my main meal which was the exotic seafood risotto with jumbo shrimp and scallops, every texture, flavour and sauce was on point. I was blown away by the talent these student chefs had and how professional the service was. • November 12, 2016

I think this institute deserves praise for the hard work they do in shaping our future cooks who may be catering my wedding one day, who knows. I had the opportunity to sit down with the teacher and chef of the dining room, Derek Curzi who’s a former student of the institute. It’s Curzi’s third year teaching at St-Pius and students are lucky to be learning the trade from such an experienced chef who continued his education in Belgium and worked in the industry for 24 years. “This is an excellent program where we teach students Mediterranean cuisine like French and Italian to get them ready to be out in the real word,” Curzi says. The program consists of nine months and a half of theory classes and then three months of service where the students obtain hands on experience in cooking while they finish their program serving the dining room. The full course menu changes every week and all produce are fresh and local. Most food is prepared to order so students can learn the pressures of serving real clients in real time.“I want them to know that this is what it is.They need to be organized and pushing them is what helps make them learn,” he says. Chef Curzi loves what he does and it shows in the way he inspires his students. Last year, he brought three students to Taste Canada in Toronto, a food competition that involves 12 schools across Canada. These students are given recipes from the top 12 cook books and have to present it to judges. Last year, his team won gold. After discussing the way St-Pius Culinary Institute teaching students the wonders of cooking, I asked an aspiring chef and student at the school Thomas Di Donato a few questions concerning his journey. At 26-years-old, Di Donato is almost done his program at St-Pius and

is lining up internships for the rest of the year.

know he'll get a kick out of it... But one teacher, Chef Sistino told us Q: What inspired you to something on our first day become a cook? of service that stuck with us. The most important A: I guess the inspiration thing we can learn is to came from my home life. I work with a sense of urmean, we were always in gency. It's sounds like the kitchen. Everything in something so logical, but my family either revolved man, is it true. During around food or had service, there's a fine line something to do with it. between running smooth The kitchen was just and chaos, and we conwhere everything began stantly walk that line. and ended, and still is for What did I learn?

and communicate together. It started out pretty rough, there were quite a few hiccups along the way, but luckily our class has fantastic chemistry, and we all have each other's backs. We've become a family, to say the very least, and whenever you need help; someone is always there for you. Q: How has it been working under pressure and serving crowds of 50-60 people twice a week?

A: The first few times were interesting, to put it mildly, but as time progressed, we found our groove. Now it just feels

like 60 people isn't enough. We've had tough weeks where we had 2 days to prepare for service, plus we had fundraisers and career fairs to get ready for at the same time. Somehow, we always manage to make it. I find that the service aspect is just amazing; it's a great introduction to the adrenaline rush of a full night's service. The Culinary institute’s dining room is open to the public Thursday and Friday evenings. Reservations are needed since space is limited. For more information visit their website: http://www.piuscentre.com/

Q: How has your experience been at the Pius culinary institute?

A: Pius has been an allaround great experience. You hear a lot of people complain about the type of cuisine and techniques that are taught, and how some are out-dated and not done in the industry anymore. I find that the base that we learn at the beginning is something that needs to be taught. From out mother sauces, to butchering meat, to turning vegetables and making chaud-froid, these techniques are classical and need to be respected. That said, our service modules teach us how to bring all our techniques together and push the boundaries on a lot of dishes, while still respecting the tradition of the base technique. I find all the teachers great, and honestly, I don't think I've ever learned so much, and wanted to learn, as much as I have at Pius.

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

while back I wrote a blog called ‘Tireless Tamanu’ which you may wish to peruse on our website. It discloses the source, the sustainability and the certification of our Tamanu Oil. It talks about the incredible journey of the tamanu seed by the South Pacific waves, where the seed roots and how the nut oil is so amazing on the skin. The article will remind you to always look for dark green, high quality, organic oil and to beware of scam versions now entering the market. I have been researching and selling Tamanu for several years now and it has become one of my favourite skin nutrients.Your testimonials have helped to prove that. The title ‘Tireless Tamanu’ evolved because the oil never stops amazing me. It is persistent in proving how nature never gives up astounding us with its miracles. But today, I am inspired to call this article ‘Timeless Tamanu’. Just last week I was serving a young woman at the CNE exhibition in Toronto. She was looking for natural acne skin care and seemed intrigued with the purity of our products. Her acne was not uncommon for her age but she did have some scarring that she was hoping to reduce. Of course. Through discussion, I learned that she was

using a medicated cream and a commercial soap that contained some questionable chemicals. I showed her our calming emu neem soap and pure unrefined emu oil. I explained that most liquid cleansers contained formaldehyde and sodium laurel sulfate. Not good. Medicated creams were not feeding her skin the goodness it needed. I sensed she was on a limited budget. I suggested that the pure emu oil and the soap were a good place to start her revitalizing skin journey. She explained, “When I came to this country, I was told my skin would suffer. It was never this way before.” I understood and confirmed that, “Yes, a change of climate and diet can definitely affect our skin. May I ask where you are from?” “Vietnam.” She said. I smiled. “I’d like to show you something.” I guided her to the tamanu oil display and showed her our new 20 ml bottle. “Our tamanu oil comes from your country,Vietnam. We are very proud of this source.” She looked pleased but puzzled. She did not know the oil. “Tamanu is a tree nut oil, “ I explained, “It is from the South Pacific islands, like Tahiti, Madagascar, Fiji. But it also comes from mainland coastal areas like Vietnam. We chose a sustainable, organic farm there, where we were able to obtain certification as to its quality.” I retrieved our sample tester. “You must try a

drop on your skin. It would be excellent for you. But if you cannot afford it now, the emu oil and the soap are still perfect. No worries. I just want you to experience something from home.” I placed a drop on her forearm and asked her to gently rub it into her skin and then to smell the unique, nutty aroma. Intense, but earthy. She did as directed. Instantly, her face shone in memory. ‘”This is my GRANDMA,” she exclaimed with a smile. “Ohhhh…when I was a little girl, and if I had an injury, or a cut, or a bruise, or anything, my Grandma wanted to rub this oil on me. I would tell her, ‘No Grandma, I am OK.’ She would persist, ‘No, No,Van, you must apply this oil. It will make you better.’ I remember this smell. This is my Grandma.” Smells, scents, memories. In Van’s case, a positive hug from the past. Timeless. (Our website shares all of the cosmetic properties of Tamanu oil, under Tamanu Head to Toe. (http://www.natural.ca/en/tamanuhead-toe ) In addition to the pure oil we also make a tamanu cream, a soap and body oil )

Pilates Fusion is the missing link Sponsored

T

By Christine Clark mtltimes.ca

his is really happening, and has never been done before! An all male Pilates Studio run by two guys in the Pointe Claire Valois area. The studio is already building a strong clientele and is showing great signs for stability and success say Jim and Kyle". Clients are coming with hopes of relieving pain and stiffness in their joints and to improve their posture".The breath work is what is really helping to bridge the experience of awareness between the body and the mind and people are showing signs of rejuvenation rather then depletion, post workout The Men's studio is starting to get client referral from the Osteopathy & Physiotherapy community. In fact Pilates Fusion clients have VIP access to bookings within 48 hrs with Medi-Club Sports Medicine*Osteopathy*Wellness. The clinic is located at 2869 St.Charles Blvd, Kirkland, H9H 3B5. Diane Perez, Physio Therapist of the Medi-Club Clinic, was visiting the New Studio located at 79 Donegani and was demonstrating her like mindedness as she showed a valued interest in the Pilates community and saw the potential alliance between Medi-Club and Pilates Fusion. "We are not breeding a dependency" was the comment given by Diane and when I, myself heard that I new this was a good fit for our clients. Pairing together Pilates with other forms of therapy is highly effective for both the Pilates experience and the experience

of a therapy. They marry well together because therapy for the mind and body helps deepen the effectiveness of the Pilates experience as well as the reverse, where Pilates helps the body's response to various modalities of healing approaches provided from the medical community. The clients become less dependent on the therapy and the Pilates training and instead have on going experiences of optimal movement patterns.There is no ending of progressions, it is limitless. Pilates Fusion has been in business for 12 years and started off strong working with various clinics on the west Island. There is a trust that has been earned by Pilates Fusion's founder Christine Clark and therefore granted by a number of various members of the medical community and has resulted in a strong continuation of client referrals. The primary source of clients coming to Pilates Fusion is from various clinics around the island of Montreal. The specialized apparatus, machine's and small accessories/equipment being utilized open an endless capacity and passive capability which is key to bridging the body from a state of inflammation to

a state of optimal functioning. The body enjoys itself as it plays and feels more trust within itself and the mindful well being of it's integration.The cost efficiency is also much better this way for people and the success is steady and sure. The Pilates Fusion studio's atmosphere supports calming of the nervous system and helps to centre the mind for a less critical approach to the body, and instead more of a state of observation as to what it is feeling and not feeling. Jim Roberts and Kyle Murray are the practitioners that operate the men's studio and offer classes primarily for the male clientele. (They do however offer their services to both genders) You can get started on private individual training or private group training (3-5 people max) by contacting Jim at 514 770 3799 and/or Kyle at 438 889 5953. Session hours are offered in the morning, mid day and evening during the week and on Saturdays. Sessions must be booked prior to coming, no drop ins. Located at 78 Ave Donegani, Pointe-Claire, H9R 2V4.

Pet of the week!

'Buddy the Portuguese Water Dog'

B

uddy, an old Portuguese Water Dog, knows how to lay back and relax when he needs to. He has been a part of Janice Steward's family for fourteen years, outliving the average median age of 12 and a half years for his breed. "He has been a constant source and energy in our home with his unconditional love and happiness. He has unknowingly taught us many invaluable life skills just from his presence in the home," said Janice. "If there is an argument and voices are raised too loudly he will intervene with a soft bark‌ or a strong bark if it continues, thus reminding us to drop our octaves and speak to one another calmly." Buddy has also taught them the importance of laughter. "When an instrument that he likes, such as a harmonica, flute or clarinet is played, he enthusiastically sings along! It's truly hilarious!"

20

www.mtltimes.ca

Another attribute he has taught them is great empathy. Whenever there has been an injury in the family like a torn calf muscle, a twisted ankle or a terrible cold, Buddy senses it and has been there with love. At times he licks the injured area, lying by their side and carrying the family member through it. "He is now quite old and has slowed down in-

credibly but we will love and accept him throughout his life as he has done for us. Having a pet is a sense of pure loving goodness in a home.They actually complete the family circle." Buddy, is a true 'buddy', unconditionally. To submit your pet for 'Pet of the Week', email Bonnie at: bonnierwords@gmail.com or info@mtltimes.ca

t was the last of the great TV variety series. From 1967 to 1978, “The Carol Burnett Show” was a staple of CBS’ prime time line-up, as it entertained viewers with original comedy sketches, impressive Broadway-quality musical and dance numbers (and mini-musicals), memorable characters, movie

and TV parodies, top notch special celebrity guests and a line-up of regular cast members who ended up being just as popular as the show’s namesake. Burnett, now 83, still has fond memories of fronting her variety series through 11 seasons from CBS Television City in Hollywood. In fact, she had so much fun doing it, she affectionately referred to

her show as “the sandbox”. And thanks to a recently-released DVD boxed set of some of the “lost episodes” between 1967 and 1972, and a PBS special, future generations can appreciate why “The Carol Burnett Show” ranks up there as one of TV’s greatest variety series, along with “Texaco Star Theatre” with Milton and “Your Show of Shows” with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca. And that appreciation is extended even further with the release of Burnett’s fourth book In Such Good Company. The book is basically a collection of Burnett’s own anecdotes and reminiscences that deal with 11 years’ worth of personal and professional highlights of putting together her show. The impression you get after reading this book is that Burnett enjoyed each and every moment of these 11 years, and has a special degree of respect, admiration and affection for every person who work alongside her, many of whom were with the show for its entire run, whether it be her husband and executive producer Joe Hamilton, costume designer Bob Mackie, or her cast of reg-

ulars Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. And Burnett recalls with great detail what made “The Carol Burnett Show” so special in the truest “behind-thescenes” fashion. We find out why she had Jim Nabors (of “Gomer Pyle” fame) as the show’s guest star for every season premiere throughout the show’s run; the story behind the famous dentist sketch in 1969 (in which a bumbling rookie dentist played by Conway kept on

accidentally injecting himself with novocaine, which resulted in Harvey Korman – who played the patient – vainly trying not to break up laughing); select highlights from Burnett’s Q&A sessions that began every show; how Bob Mackie came up with the famous curtain rod dress that Burnett wore during their famous “Gone with the Wind” parody (which got the show’s biggest and loudest laugh from the audience); how Burnett “fired” Harvey Korman in 1973 after he insulted

then-guest Petula Clark during rehearsals, and told him that in order to be reinstated, he had to return to the studios the following day with a smile on his face; detailed descriptions of some of the show’s best known movie parodies (“Mildred Pierce”, “Gilda”, “Love Story”); having the golden opportunity to perform alongside a wealth of high caliber celebrity guests (many of whom were her movie idols) like Rita Hayworth, Lucille Ball, Betty Grable, Bing Crosby, Vin-

cent Price and Jimmy Stewart; and of course, the origins of some of the show’s most popular characters and sketches, from “The Family”, to “As the Stomach Turns”, to Stella Toddler, to the Charwoman. And as an added bonus, there is a detailed appendix at the end of the book that chronologically lists every broadcast, which includes the airdates and every guest who appeared on the show. In Such Good Company will certainly delight classic TV buffs and fans of “The Carol Burnett Show”. It shows that she helmed the program with a great deal of care and affection, and developed a family-like atmosphere that helped bring the best out of every person who was involved with the show, whether it be in front of, or behind, the camera. And the end result paid off tremendously when the show aired every week, and steadily earned its reputation as an enduring piece of classic television. No wonder we were so glad to have this time together with Carol Burnett and company for 11 memorable years. (Crown Archetype, $37)
