Mr. Bolly finds ‘Victory’ Mr. Bolly perforning at desiFEST in Toronto

By: Jill Clark / mtltimes.ca

Another Montreal artist has made a name for themselves on international level. Bharat Kapoor—known on stage as Mr. Bolly—recently performed to a 25,000-person crowd at desiFEST in Toronto. Mr. Bolly is an energetic urban artist with rap, R&B, and pop hits, and a self-proclaimed perfectionist when it comes to performing.

“I was influenced by their creativeness. My dad was a chef, and my mom was creative with clothing and design.”

His own musical journey began at age 15 while having fun with friends. Bouncing words and rhymes around the room, his friends encouraged him to pursue the arts more seriMr. Bolly credits his creative parents for his ously. Kapoor was amazed by how classic lifelong interest in music. “They would invite language arts—like poetry—could translate friends over to sing and play drums,” he said. into rap. www.mtltimes.ca 3 WEDNESDAY

Kapoor enrolled at Concordia University for arts. “I wanted to learn more about writing poetry and English literature, and public speaking,” he said. “These things would help me improve as an artist.” He took acting classes as well to learn performance skills.

After Concordia, Kapoor took time off to travel and “find himself.” His journey led him to open mic nights and music gigs around the world.

Eventually, he followed the arts home. “The more I looked out into the world, the more life brought me back to Montreal.”

While running BTB Music, people became curious of his own talents that had been set aside. “The person behind the scenes moved to the front,” Kapoor said. Now, Mr. Bolly is working on a handful of exciting projects including a music video and album to be released later this year.

His recent success is the result of years of hard work, and fulfilling his dream of performing at desiFEST in Toronto. Mr. Bolly’s song ‘Victory’ is an anthem that pays homage to this journey. desiFEST is an international program for South Through his studies, travels, and career, Asian artists.

Mr. Bolly spent weeks preparing with his collaborators, Chhaya Dewan and Stephen Voyce, who performed at desiFEST with him.

Their chemistry shines when they take the stage. “They loved our performance,” Kapoor said. It was described as soulful and positive, with lots of energy.

Although Mr. Bolly loves to sing, he loves to perform even more. “It’s exhilarating,” he said.

“It makes me feel like a child. It’s like heaven and earth is crashing. My insides are upside down. I have butterflies. It’s the experience of a lifetime.”

Performing for a crowd the size of desiFEST is a rush on another level. “The adrenaline takes over. It’s lifechanging. I never want it to end,” he said. “After we got off the stage [at desiFEST] we told each other we want to do this every day.” He thanks the organizer, Sats B, for the opportunity. “Toronto gave us a lot of love.”

Mr. Bolly finds his inspiration from Hollywood and Bollywood film. “My attire and my character is very Bollywood,” he said. He doesn’t look like a typical hip-hop or rap artist. He cites Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor as specific influences.

When writing his songs, Mr. Bolly draws inspiration from his own life. His hit ‘Victory’ was created in this way. He took control of his own life to find success. The anthem accurately represents his own victory. It’s a lesson many people need to learn. “Anything is possible,” he said. “I worked hard at it every day.”

Next, she asks what they are already using. “If what they are using is benefitting or working on the problem that they have, I tell them to finish what they are using,” she said. While natural products like her own Peoni line are better, she does not want to create unnecessary waste or shock her client’s skin with a drastic change. “We will integrate as we go part of the Peoni line.” Slowly, her clients shift.

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

Plastic Pollution a Threat to Ocean Sustainability By: Deborah Rankin / mtltimes.ca

MONTREAL - Concordia University will be hosting a Future Earth Secretariat starting in the fall of 2017. The Montreal-based research consortium will be looking to find solutions to global environmental challenges according to Peter Stoett, director of Concordia University's Loyola Sustainability Research Centre. "Montreal is a major heat island with a big carbon footprint," he says. "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the city is vital."

beings, especially in coastal regions. However, most of us haven't thought a whole lot about pollution in relation to the quality of life in the oceans.

Stoett says climate change must be addressed in conjunction with other pressing environmental concerns like ocean sustainability.

"Human survival and the life of the oceans are intrinsically bound on this blue planet." By now most of us have heard that climate change results in rising sea levels with detrimental effects on a variety of animal species and human www.mtltimes.ca WEDNESDAY

“Things have to change�

Stoett recently discussed the ill effects of "plastic pollution" on the oceans' ecosystems at a presentation on ocean sustainability at Concordia University sponsored by Plastic Oceans Foundation Canada. The talk followed a screening of the award-winning documentary A Plastic Ocean at the Sir George Williams Alumni Auditorium in the Hall Building. Plastic Oceans Canada is part of a global network of not-for-profit organizations hoping to change the way we deal with plastic waste at a local and global level. Daniel Green, Deputy Leader of the Green Party of Canada and Adam Taschereau co-founder of bulk-buying group Nous Rire also spoke at the public meeting at the downtown campus.

"We have a plastic crisis. We are discovering untold levels of plastic in the ocean," Stoett said. There is already an ocean crisis with

overfishing, acidification, and sea level rise.

"Carbon recycling of the oceans is extremely important. Marine biodiversity is extremely important. We need a global framework like the Paris Accord. There's a big environmental justice issue here."

others of its kind has choked or starved to death by ingesting plastic sea debris. (The record for the species is 276 pieces for one bird while a staggering 85-90% of seabirds have ingested plastic as well as countless fish turtles and other wildlife.) Seabirds are among the most heavily contaminated species and this is a daily ritual for the ecotoxicologist from the University of Tasmania, Australia: picking up scores of dead seabirds that have washed up on the beach at Lord Howe Island, a World Heritage Site, before examining their stomach contents for toxins.

A Plastic Ocean highlights the harrowing effects of non-disposable plastic on marine life.

In one segment of the film, Australian journalist and filmmaker Craig Leeson watches as research scientist Dr. Jennifer Lavers of the Institute of Marine and Antartic Studies removes 234 pieces of hard plastic from the digestive tract of just one seabird chick that like many

The film makes an impassioned plea for people to think about alternatives to plastic bottles and wrappings as it follows fellow explorers Leeson and world record-breaking freediver and environmental activist Tanya Streeter as they travel to coastal regions in developing countries ravaged by plastic pollution then back to their home-base in Austin, Texas where Leeson surveys trendy eateries and cafĂŠs to see if any offer other options besides plastic packaging (most don't).

Streeter says, "If the plastic is in a dolphin's food chain then it's also in our food chain." The problem is that poor countries with inadequate waste management often use plastic extensively because it is cheap but every year 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the sea.

When smaller "microplastics" are ingested by animals, the toxins released are stored in their tissues and accumulate up the food chain ending up on our dinner tables. This bodes ill for nearly one-fifth of the world's population that relies on the sea for its primary source of protein as contaminated seafood can cause many health problems.

Adam Taschereau

Leeson tells us that he loves the ocean, it is where he feels most spiritual. "We have to make our lives better for our children's children. Change is possible. It starts with us."

However, Streeter says that she worries as an "older Mum" who had her children later in life that plastic pollution might be affecting fertility rates in women.

Daniel Green said that plastic pollution doesn't only affect the oceans but also fresh-water ecosystems like the St. Lawrence River. He drew attention to the high concentrations of microplastic particles in the St. Lawrence River sediment. "It would be interesting to look at the stomach of a sturgeon," he said. "They're bottom-feeders." Green speculated that pollution hot spots like the one in front of Quebec's former nuclear power plant Gentilly-2 might even contain radioactive microbeads. "Clearly an investigation needs to be done."

"Plastic is wonderful because it is durable and plastic is terrible because it is durable," Leeson says waxing philosophic at this paradox of modern technology.

BOOKS

June 28, 2017

1201 Guy Street, Montreal 3300 Sources Blvd., Pointe-Claire

In a way, this was my formal introduction to the world of Montreal top 40 radio and its stable of wildly popular deejays.

For the next decade, I alternated my radio listening habits between CKGM and CHOM. I was a devoted listener to Ralph Lockwood’s morning show, where I laughed out loud to many of his on air comedy shtick (and his “How’s Your Bird?” buttons were prized possessions amongst his fans), and Marc “Mais Oui” Denis’ bilingual patter as onethird of the station’s “Connection Francais”; and on CHOM, got exposed to soon-to-be classic rock albums on “Les Deux Faces”, and heard British-born announcer Doug Pringle interview some of the biggest names in rock music of the mid and late 70s on “The Pringle Program”. I even won one of the first rock albums I ever owned thanks to a CKGM listener phone-in contest (it was “Band on the Run” by Paul McCartney and Wings).

concert promoter extraordinaire Donald “Donald K. Donald” Tarlton and local rock bands like J.B. and the Playboys and The Haunted.

Howarth, through countless interviews and impeccable research, recounts many of the stunts and anecdotes that these deejays pulled off or were involved with that helped to make listening to their broadcasts quite unique experiences. There was Dave Boxer’s petition to convince the Beatles to include Montreal on their 1965 tour schedule, following their not-so-pleasant experience during their twoshow appearance at the Forum the year before (Boxer presented the signed petition to the group in London and although the Fab Four didn’t agree to return to Montreal, they agreed to give Boxer an exclusive interview, which he later aired on his CFCF show); then there was Ralph Lockwood’s stunt during the 1973 Grey Cup festivities, in which early on his Saturday morning broadcast, placed a surprise phone call to his friend (and former Montreal Alouettes player) “Crescent Street” Mike Widger at his hotel room in Toronto and play it live on the air, only to have a strange woman answer the phone before Widger got the chance to answer it; and perhaps one of the strangest, yet rarely reported incidents to hit the Montreal radio scene, which happened during the midst of the October Crisis of 1970, in which a small group of youthful FLQ supporters “broke into” CHOM’s Greene Avenue studios and “took over” the airwaves by continuously ranting about the FLQ’s agenda for Quebec live on the air, while pausing every so often to play some Led Zeppelin tunes until then-station general manager Jim Sward convinced them to quietly surrender to the police four hours later.

However, by the mid-1980s, the glory days of top 40 radio in Montreal began to fade, with many of its deejays going to greener pastures at radio stations west and south of Montreal, and its stations succumbing to numerous format changes and corporate ownership. If you are a baby boomer, and are feeling quite nostalgic about the days when listening to commercial AM and FM radio was fun and had a great deal of personality, then you will certainly enjoy When one reads Rock ‘n’ Radio, the general imIan Howarth’s thoroughly researched nostalgia trip pression that you get is that these deejays and front of a book Rock ‘n’ Radio. office people shared a deep passion for rock music and a career in radio playing hit rock songs and rock The book focuses on the three decades that made albums, and would do anything to reach that Monup the glory years of rock radio stations in Montreal treal radio mecca, whether it be sacrificing promising (the 60s, 70s and 80s), and in particular, the four sta- careers in other fields or going on the path of worktions that captured the attention of teenage listeners ing at radio stations in every medium-sized city or during that golden era: CKGM, CFCF, CFOX and small town across Canada.
