With many commercial places now empty one starts to wonder whether there is a future for the Forum. It could well suffer the same fate of the Faubourg Ste. Catherine, just a few blocks east whose interior is now completely disfigured having become a depressing place to visit. Worse yet: some even fear that the Forum may just close down.

Some year ago when it ceased to be an arena, there were indeed suggestions to demolish it (real estate developers were drooling at the prospect of making big money with another massive condo project) al-

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

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.

Earth to Body Skin so sensitive

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

“I have to be careful what touches my skin. I am so sensitive.”

I hear this lament fairly often. If this is a song you sing, you may actually be the lucky one. Yes, it may be frustrating that every cream or lotion you try is irritating. Every time you apply a sunscreen your skin screams. Every time you try the soaps in commercial places your hands rebel. Perhaps you have inherited this tendency from poor Aunt Nona who forever complained.

Perhaps your father always suffered with eczema, like you do now, and you figure it is in your DNA and there is little you can do. It is true, our ancestors do dictate so much of whom we are.

True. But so does our environment. Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds, sometimes so fast we cannot keep up. The food revolution is real.

What we are eating today was not what grandma ate. What cosmetics we

apply differ greatly form the once homemade skin solutions. Coconut, avocado, tea leaves and maybe, depending on what your environment provided, bear fat.

So what is your skin trying to tell you?

Most of us can wear a chemically laden product and feel no immediate reaction. We may end up feeling drier than we should, but it happens so often, we think of it as normal. We may blame it on the weather rather than the Formaldehyde or the Benzoyl Peroxide in the cream. We may not associate the fragrances and preservatives as the dry and irritating factor.

We may simply apply more because we think we had not applied enough. Those of you more 'sensitive' cannot wear the commercial products as your skin reacts immediately. The warning bells make the connection for you. This is a good thing. You learn to be careful. But at the same time it is difficult to find product that you CAN wear. Besides ap-

plying the actual food to your skin (and I advise this as a wonderful solution for all skin), you must read labels carefully. The trick is to look for a simple ingredient listing that you can understand.

Look for just one healthy ingredient. Like Argan oil. Pure, unadulterated 100% goodness.

Or just three ingredients, as found in our Castile Moringa soap. Organic olive oil, coconut and moringa powder. We call it ‘our soap with nothing that does everything'.

There are natural solutions for all of us.

Whether you place yourself in the 'sensitive' category or not, your skin is affected by whatever you choose to ‘feed’ it. Simple solutions are often the best solutions. We have suggestions for all skin issues. Next time you are at the grocery store, browsing among the fresh fruits and vegetables, ask yourself, “Could I wear this on my skin?”

Chances are we have done it for you, in our creams, lotions, soaps, and oils.

iven the blast of a Nor'easter that hit us with blizzard like conditions on March 14/15th, it's a good time to ask yourself this question if you haven't already should the date when it is legally allowed for drivers to remove winter tires from our vehicles be changed to a later one?

Barring any other potential storms, including freezing rain and ice pellets, which has a high enough potential to occur between the writing of this article and when it is published, it is enough to make one wonder about how many more accidents and injuries might have transpired should that storm have arrived just a day or two later after March 15th, when Quebec drivers can legally switch their tires back to summer treads.

The Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) states that winter tires are mandatory from December 15th to March 15th (inclusive) for all passenger vehicles registered in Québec, as well as taxis.

It also applies to rental passenger vehicles as well as mopeds, motorized scooters and motorcycles. If your vehicle is not equipped with winter tires during that time you could face fines from $200 to $300 - plus costs.

The law which came into effect in 2008 makes common sense because without it, humans often don't use their own.Winter tires are not only mandatory for drivers in order to have better control of their cars on snow, the tires also provide better traction when temperatures start dropping. The rubber compound of winter tires is designed to have the flexibility needed for a better grip on the road surface in temperatures as low as -40C. Since the implementation of the law, winter collisions have fallen by at least 17%.

According to the SAAQ website, 'as soon as the temperature drops below 7°C, or when there is ice or snow on the road, the rubber compound of summer and all-season tires hardens and loses its grip.

or chains are required by law during the period between November 1st to March 31st for those who venture into the Rocky Mountain parks, but many still switch to winter tires on their own accord, otherwise most drivers use four-season tires all year round. All the other provinces in Canada only recommend installing winter tires when the temperature dips below 7C. In Manitoba, the RCMP has the jurisdiction to close highways and roads during dangerous winter driving conditions - and if a driver gets caught on a closed road, they can exa hefty fine.

There is only one other province in Canada having mandatory tire

winter often has its last laugh. A few spring-like days in early March has lulled us into a false sense of security many times.

The storm on March 14th this year hit us with a snow fall of close to 40cm, creating havoc all over the island and beyond - and let's not forget last April when close to 10cm fell on the city overnight, catching many people off guard. The Sûreté du Québec reported a number of cars skidding off the highways in and around Montreal before it soon melted.

Late season snowstorms are far from rare, including: March 14th 1961 with close to 25cm, March 4th 1971 when 47cm fell in blizzard-like conditions, April 2nd 1985 there was 14cm and on March 22nd 2001 over 50cm fell.

Our mandatory winter tire law is a great initiative, and some provinces are carefully watching the results. Perhaps we should continue to lead the way by having it make more sense - by extending the date for the tire switch to at least to the end of March. It won’t really cost us anything if we do, but it might costs us lives if we don't.

Do you feel Quebec's mandatory winter tire law should be extended beyond the March 15th date to March 31st - or in light of the above, even later? And what about the December 15th deadline to install them - should that be earlier?

Montreal Times Pet of the Week

R

Meet Raisin the Cat

aisin, an orange tabby around 5 to 6 years old, lives with Peter Saulnier in the north end of Montreal and is the queen of his life.

"I like to spoil her silly," Peter said. "She really deserves it."

A few years ago, Peter's wife of 40 years passed away suddenly and he was devastated. They had just moved to Montreal from Drummondville, QC in order to be closer to some services they needed - and it had always been his wife's dream to live here because of her interest in the arts.

"We lived most of our lives in small towns and we didn't have any children or any family nearby, so it made sense. Raisin, came into our lives the day we moved into our new place… she was a stray but seemed to have adopted a spot under the balcony in the back… it was Lise who began talking to her and giving her food, I wasn't too crazy about cats."

When his wife

passed away, Peter found himself alone - but not for long.

" R a i s i n missed her very much and kept coming up to the door and meowing and scratching at it, until finally one day I just let her inside… and she hasn’t left since then! She really has no interest in going outside much anymore."

Not only is that rare for a feral cat, but Raisin is also unique because she is female - only 20% of orange tabbies are female. She also captured Peter's heart and has helped him through his grief.

"My wife loved her and she loved her back… it's like a part of her is with Raisin. She demands very little, isn't fussy about her food

and really just likes to laze around. But she seems to sense when I'm feeling down and sorry for myself… she sits in front of me and stares and if I say one word to her, up she jumps on to my lap to cuddle up! That makes me smile."

It's clear why Raisin is so special - in fact, she might even be an angel.

Are you suffering from Digital Dementia?

By Sima Goel D.C. mtltimes.ca

orgetful? Hunched over? Obsessed with social media? Unable to detached from the online world? You could you be suffering from digital dementia!

“Digital Dementia”, a term coined by German neuroscientist Manfred Spitzer is used to describe how the overuse of digital technology is resulting in the breakdown of our cognitive abilities. As a generation who has become glued to own smartphones and electronic devices, researches have noticed an imbalance in the brains development.

Over the course of a lifetime, millennial will spend the equivalent of 32 years seated! Within those 32 years hunched over many a times will be spent staring at one of our multiple digital screens. Inevitably causing our shoulders to roll forward and our head to lean forward, with a corresponding loss of curvature in the lower back and neck.

When the spinal column is properly aligned, it’s function, to protect the nervous system, is properly executed. However,

• March 25, 2017

the physical stress it endures from sitting causes the vertebrae to move out of proper alignment, thus weakening the spinal column and causing an onset of pain. This pain often presents itself in form of a headache, pain between the shoulder blades, neck pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, sciatica, lower back, knees and ankle pain.

Although the onset of pain can be debilitating, the good news is our nervous systems are dynamic in the sense that through proper stimulation and treatment it can be strengthened; causing the pain to fade and eventually disappear, as proper function prevails. Chiropractors are trained professionals who are able to assist in the correction of postural abnormalities and enhance the nervous systems function.

The impact of digital dementia on children and adolescents is most prevalent, as they require regular playtime and physical activity in order to achieve optimal development of the nervous system and cognitive abilities. Replacing regular physical activity by “screen time” is detrimental to the development of cognitive abilities amongst the youth.

In our digital world, children and adults alike have become susceptible to constant connection and overuse of technology, creating an array of illnesses and syndromes that were not otherwise present.

As the digital world evolves, so must our ability to adapt and empower our bodies to evolve in order to achieve optimal health and balance. Maintaining balance and ensuring optimal nervous system function is critical in order to avoid unnecessary immobility and pain.

Take the fight out of food: Celebrating Nutrition Month

T

here is one thing that every person on the planet has in common: we need to eat. Every day, multiple times a day, we are faced with the age-old question “What’s for dinner?” and for some, answering this question is simple. For many, it leaves us consistently fighting with our food. Struggling to find meals that will be accepted by the whole family? Find yourself in constant digestive discomfort after eating? Are you confused by all the nutrition messages you read and hear online?

Looks like you are having a food feud.

March is Nutrition Month, and this year’s campaign from Dietitians of Canada aims to help you improve your relationship with food, no matter what the struggle.

How do we resolve these fights with food, you might ask? First, we must spot the problem, or the specific nutrition issue that needs to be addressed. Second, we get the facts, using reliable and credible sources to decide what needs to be done about the problem.

Finally, seek support when

putting your plan into action.This could be friends, family, a registered dietitian and other member of your health care team.

Let’s walk through an example using these three steps. Meet Shelley, who experiences bloating and abdominal pain every

cially after breakfast. She’s been told to take probiotics but is not sure if this is the right approach.

Get the facts. After doing some research online, Shelley discovered there could be a number of causes for her discomfort. It could be caused by medications she is taking, or it could also be a sign of a new condition like lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome or celiac disease. Because she is unsure of the reason for her symptoms, Shelley needs to seek supports to get to the root cause.

Seek support. Shelley speaks to her family doctor, and given her sympGenevieve Ledoux toms she is referred to a registered dietitian. Her day, especially after break- diet and symptoms are fast.

Now her gut health, but her Shelley knows not to selffriend is not a doctor or diagnose or rely solely on dietitian, so Shelley wasn’t advice from websites or sure if this was how she well-meaning friends to should resolve her issue. solve her digestive woes.

She decides to use our If you apply these three three-step approach to simple steps to your food explore her food feud: fight, you might just find Spot the problem. Shelley finds that she is con- yourself a little more exsistently bloated and in cited for that next meal pain after she eats, espe- or snack. In Shelley’s case, she now knows she

needs to swap her cereal with milk in the morning for a lactose-free breakfast option. She might

enjoy these Spanish Mini Tortilla Quiches using a lactose-free cheese, or she might continue to

enjoy her cereal using a lactose-free milk or alternative like soy or almond milk.

Serves: 6 Ready In: 40 minutes Mini tortillas make deliciously crispy crusts for these handheld quiches. Be careful when pouring the eggs into the tortilla cups, as spillover can make the cups difficult to remove from the pan once it bakes on.

Serve with salad for an easy, elegant brunch, or enjoy as a quick grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients: • 1 tsp (5 ml) PC 100% Pure First Pressed Canola Oil • Pinch (0.5 ml) each cumin and smoked paprika • 6 PC Original Mini Tortillas • 2 slices PC Free From Smoked Black Forest Ham, chopped • 2 Tbsp PC Black Label Piquillo Peppers, drained and chopped • 2 Tbsp PC Kalamata Olives, pitted and thinly sliced • 1/3 cup PC Black Label Manchego Sheep’s Milk Hard Ripened Cheese Aged 6 Months, grated • 3 large eggs 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Mist 6 wells of 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Set aside.

2. Stir together oil, cumin and

paprika in small bowl; brush over 1 side of each tortilla.

Press tortillas, oil side down, into wells of prepared muffin tin, pressing firmly on folds to shape into cups. Bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven.

3. Divide ham, piquillo peppers, olives and cheese among tortilla cups. Whisk eggs in liquid measuring cup or small bowl until well combined; divide among tortilla cups, filling to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of rim and being careful not to spill onto muffin tin.

4. Bake until filling is puffed and set in centre, about 15 minutes.

Let cool slightly. Remove from pan. Serve warm or let cool completely on rack.

Chef’s Tip: Cheese is firmer and easier to grate when it’s well-chilled, so keep it in the fridge just until you’re ready to use.

Five warning signs that your loved one should be considering a move to a retirement mome / senior community Sponsored

I

By Matt DelVecchio Montreal Times

t’s not easy to admit that one is getting older, especially when your body and your mind are not what they used to be.

Moving a family member into a senior care residence is never a simple decision. It may not be easy to broach the subject with your loved ones. In fact, they may be resistant to moving and they may fear losing their independence.

However, here are 5 warning signs that your loved one should be con-

sidering a move to a retirement / senior residence: 1. Physical When there are physical and anatomical signs of deterioration that will affect their well-being and their safety. A person who is having trouble getting out to shop or remembering how to cook or when to eat can result in significant nutritional issues. This could range from unhealthy weight loss or conversely, excessive weight gain.

Check the fridge and watch meal-prep skills. Other examples include loss of sight or hearing, loss of balance, stroke, disease. or physical

conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis.

2. Mental Behaviour – Cognitive, Language, and Decision Making Cognitive decline can have serious ramifications, especially if your loved one can't take medications correctly, is not able to fix a meal or doesn't remember to eat. If a loved one exhibits confusion, poor judgment, or other signs of cognitive impairment, assisted living is often a good next step.

3. Caregiver Stress There are the psychological costs of caregiving and of making difficult care de-

cisions, which can be compared to the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Caregivers may experience symptoms like disabling anxiety, hyper-vigilance and more. The emotional, mental and physical toll of caregiving can be particularly pronounced for adult children or spouses of those who need care. In cases like this, when the demands of care become too great, it might be clear immediately. In other cases, it might not be so obvious.

4. Safety and Security This is a common reason why families consider a

move. They noticed that their loved ones are not as sure on their feet as they used to be or their eyesight is less clear, causing them to be a fall risk. According to the Canadian Public Health Agency, falls remain the leading cause of injuryrelated hospitalizations among Canadian seniors.

5. Loneliness It’s normal for activity to decrease with age. But if your loved one once enjoyed spending time in the yard gardening, or simply being with friends, and then chooses to no longer engage in these activities, or rarely leaves the house, it

may be time to consider a senior living residence.This is a sign that behavioral changes are underway.

Helping your loved ones to recognize the signs of when it is time to move, having an open dialogue with the family members involved and taking the time to discuss the options will go a long way in making the transition to senior care residence more agreeable for everyone.

“We have patience galore!”

CHEESE: So many choices

By Chef Peter Webster of Bouquet Garni Catering

was visiting my family in northern Ontario last week. I had prepared a “Cocktail Dinatoire” for supper. A Cocktail Dinatoire is simply an offering of hot and cold hors d’oeuvre served instead of a sit down meal.

We started off with a selection of cheeses and a variety of crackers. The purchase of cheese comprised 5 types.

My favourite is Roquefort – a blue cheese from France.

Not everyone is fond of the smell – some refer to the smell in the same sentence as dirty sweat socks! The texture is creamy and smooth and the taste, in my opinion, is divine.

Another favourite is smoked cheddar. There was no dispute about this one. It is a firm cheese, pale yellow with a golden edible rind. The aroma and taste of the smokiness is irresistible.

The third cheese we served was St Andre. This is a soft white cheese with a creamy buttery texture with a light flavour. What is so good

about this cheese is the silky feeling on the tongue – it melts in your mouth.

We also had a wedge of Havarti Cheese. This is a firm cheese that can have many flavour additives from plain to fine herb and our favourite – Jalapeño! The plain is ok but if you add a little zip to the flavour, then you have my vote.

The last cheese we served was a marbled cheddar, flavoured with Guinness beer. The look of this cheese is outstanding. It has a brown exterior and a brown and pale marbling. The taste is mild and you can’t really taste the beer.They also make a red wine cheese, with red marbling, if you prefer.

The cheeses were spread out on a cutting board with a selection of crackers.

The brand names of the crackers were Stone Wheat Thins, Vinta and Rice Crackers.

The reason we chose these crackers is because they don’t break when you try to spread a cheese on them. I do not like a cracker crumbling when I try to put some-

Things to do

Advocacy receives four to five new requests for servicers every week on behalf of residents in need. WICA is in need of volunteers to meet the growing demand of our vulnerable West Islanders.There are many seniors, intellectually and physically challenged as well as those experiencing mental health issues who are looking for practical, emotional and social support. It could be something as simple as accompanying them on errands or sharing a cup of coffee with them. Every match WICA makes is unique depending on availability, compatibility, language, location, and interests. You can make a difference in someone`s life!

thing on top of it.

What surprised me the most about serving the cheese platter before dinner was the positive reaction it received. Most people serve it after the meal and it sometimes goes virtually untouched.

We enjoyed a lot of conversation about the selection and attributes of each cheese. The Roquefort got verbally beat up but it left a lot more of the cheese for those that liked it!

There are so many cheeses available these days. There are some specialty cheese shops out there but the larger grocery stores are now stocking a large selection of cheeses. Pick up a few with a couple of boxes of crackers and have a party.

It was a lot of fun.
