Oka and SQ Blockades - 1990 crisis

n April of 1990, the Mohawks of Kanesatake took a stand against plans by the Mayor of Oka (at the time) to expand a golf course and allow the development of condominiums on their ancestral land - that included a sacred burial ground, in an area they call the 'Pines'. A barricade to Oka was erected, but after three months and ignoring injunctions to remove it, the Mayor asked the government for the Sureté du Quebec to step in - and a 78 day standoff began, known as the 'Oka Crisis'.

On July 11th 1990 the SQ intervened, attacking protesters at the barricade with tear gas and concussion grenades.

Shots were fired and amid the confusion of a violent and highly questionable attack - an officer with the

SQ, Marcel Lemay, was killed in the crossfire.

From that point on, the conflict became the 'crisis' and took on an even deeper meaning - the Mohawk people were no longer only fighting for their ancestral land, but

also for the recognition of aboriginal independence and were joined by their armed 'Warriors' at the

barricade - wearing their iconic bandana face masks.

The government refused to negotiate while the Mohawk barricades were up and had the SQ put up their own blockades on the roads leading into Oka and the Kanesatake reserve. The standoff ensued, often tense at moments. The Mohawks stood their ground, taking it further by putting up barricades on the Mercier Bridge and on Highways 132, 138 and 207 - to the consternation of those who used the bridge and growing public disapproval. At one point an effigy of a Mohawk Warrior was hanged and burned.

But at the time, very few people really understood what the Mohawk people were fighting for and the deep roots connecting them to this land. continued on Page 4

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale Mercier Bridge Barricade - 1990 crisis

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.

When the standoff continued with no end in sight, then-Premier Robert Bourassa called in the Canadian Armed Forces. Despite the armed presence, negotiations still remained slow, taking several weeks before the Mercier Bridge and Highways reopened to regular traffic. On September 26th 1990, the last barricades near 'The Pines' were taken down and the Warriors gave up the fight - having won the battle at Oka, but losing the war.

Fast forward to 2017, when the rights and recognition of Canada's aboriginal people, a people here long before Britain and France each to decided lay claim to a land not theirs, have come to the forefront - where they now find themselves facing the same battle, one that was never resolved but lay silently in the shadows of the very trees they fought to protect.

Fireworks 2017 - First Prize for England T he 33rd edition of the Fireworks Competition came to an end this past Saturday, well, appropriately with a bang. The Grand Finale titled "C'est dans le ciel: Serge Fiori and Harmonium" featured a pyrotechnic display with a predominance of low altitude fireworks that made good use of the reflection on the artificial lake at La Ronde, increas-

ing its visual impact. The final part, as is customary in these presentations, displayed high altitude fireworks with multiple colours and shapes. It was a well-designed show complemented by the music of Harmonium (themes such as "Aujourd'hui je dis bonjour à la vie," "Pour un instant," and "Depuis l'automne") and Serge Fiori (some of his songs: "Le monde est virtuel," "Jamais" and "Ça fait du bien" in a duet with Richard Séguin).

Before the closing fireworks, the awards ceremony took place, just at the time when rain was falling. Fortunately, the rain stops during the show. Martine Gagnon, the director of the Fireworks Competition, made a balance of this year's event and invited the public to next year's celebration of pyrotechnical creativity in one of the most prestigious events of this kind in the world.

This year the Gold Jupiter (1st prize) went to the firm Jubilee Fireworks Ltd. from England, for its pyro-musical show "Gunpowder and Greasepaint" which featured music from Phantom of the Opera, Cats, The Rocky Horror Movie, and Les Miserables, among others.

Jubilee Fireworks had already won the Gold Jupiter in 2015.

The Silver Jupiter (2nd prize) went to the firm Féérie from France, for a show titled "Evolution of Music." For its part, the Bronze Jupiter (3rd prize) was awarded to Macedos Pirotecnia, from Portugal for its show "A Portuguese Odyssey" focused on the work of early Portuguese explorers.

cause they are in season peak. They are versatile and easy to make when

you are on a holiday road trip.This is especially practical when you are travelling with small children and don't have the time to cook elaborate meals.To go along with your family vacation meals, choose simple wine.

Easy drinking wines with freshness and simple fruit flavors are the best choice. Rosé is a good option, but it does not have to end there, as there are plenty of unoaked, dry white wines that are quite appropriate such as sauvignon blanc from cool areas like the Loire Valley or the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand.

Wines with Sandwich?

In my mind, the ultimate summer vacation meal is the sandwich. Have you ever drank wine with a sandwich? Or would you ever consider it? And why not? If paired right a sandwich and a good wine could result in wonderful lunch. Cheese and wine are a popular combination, bread and wine are also a very popular pairing. Now if you take the bread and cheese, add some lettuce and tomatoes … you have a sandwich! which will go deliciously well with your favorite wine What would cause somebody to oppose the

idea of drinking wine with sandwiches? Perhaps too many people associate

wine with stiff formality, which doesn’t match the simple nature of most sandwiches, unless you are part of the annoying crowd who insist on

breaking them with fork and knife, napkin at the ready. Wine is formal? No way. What would picnics in the beach be without it? Or fishing, without the bottle of in the cooler behind the boat?

If you accept that wine can go with almost anything, sandwiches become just another food. To pick a wine, consider the dominant flavor of the filling, as well as the occasion. A crab cake sandwich could pair with a fine white Bur-

gundy or a rich Austrian Riesling. But those demand certain contemplation. For a wonderful sandwich lunch in the beach or camping, a glass

Lobster Club

of cheap white is perfect.

With the classics, like a club sandwich, you can probably read my mind about my recommendations: whites or fresh reds, whatever you fancy.

Bacon, lettuce and tomato, the club’s close relative? I’d stick with a white or a rosé.A sausage-and-pepper hero, or a breaded veal sandwich type? Bring on the simple Chianti, the Lambrusco, and the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo.

Complex and attractive on the nose, with hints of citrus and apricot, this veneto white is easy drinking, delightfully soft,and full-bodied. With flavours of ripe apples and a touch of honey, it leads beautifully to a mineral finish. Food idea: Grilled salmon and vegetables.

Pretty aromas of red fruits, field berries, cherry and raspberries. In the mouth, smooth, fresh and light, with medium concentration and great acidity. Pairs well with ham and cheese sandwiches or bbq chicken legs.

2nd Annual Parkinson SuperWalk at JAC

T

here will be a P a r k i n s o n ’s fundraising SuperWalk on Montreal's West Island on Sunday, September 10.The picturesque John Abbott/Macdonald college campus in Sainte-Annede-Bellevue will again be the venue of this event.

While this is the second annual such event in Montreal, other cities in Canada have been holding SuperWalks for up to 27 years.

“You and your family can become everyday heroes inspiring hope for others touched by Parkinson’s,” says Lisa Mintz, Coordinator for Parkinson SuperWalk in Quebec.” I am organizing this walk in honour of my father who has Parkinson’s. It is my way to contribute to a better life and a brighter future for my dad and others like him living with Parkinson's.”

Tim Landry, 71, is currently the top Parkinson's fundraiser in Quebec. “I wanted to be more involved after my first SuperWalk, and I’ll definitely be more involved this year. Any form of illness is

a hot button issue for me.

I had polio at age 5; my son has bipolar disorder; and I have many friends with Parkinson’s. I want to support this cause in any way that I can,” says Landry. He will be partici-

Nearly 100 participants turned out for the initial SuperWalk at John Abbott campus in 2016, raising about $6,200. Across Canada, some $2.7 million was raised from SuperWalks the year before; these monies were used for research, advocacy, education and for support services.

Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee

I

By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca

(Scibners $36)

t has been the most highly-anticipated literary event not only of this summer, but probably all of 2015. The publication of Harper Lee’s second novel Go Set A Watchman, the “sequel” to her classic Pulitzer Prizewinning novel To Kill A Mockingbird, hasn’t created such excitement over the publication of a book since the launch of the later volumes in the Harry Potter series.

Since its publication in 1960, “Mockingbird” has sold over 40 million copies around the world; and thanks to the Oscar-winning 1962 film adaptation starring Gregory Peck, Atticus Finch, Scout, Jem, Boo Radley and the people of Maycomb, Alabama have

forever been etched in the conscience of its million of readers, especially high school students (like myself) who read the book as part of the curriculum in their English classes.

Which explains the widespread excitement when it was announced that the long-lost manuscript of “Watchman” was discovered in a safe deposit box and was set to be published and released on July 14 of this year. This lead to a two million-copy print run of the book, and became the most pre-ordered book in the near 200-year history of HarperCollins.

And with the publication of the book, its share of controversy went along with it. Many readers expressed disappointment

and dismay with how the much-beloved characters from “Mockingbird” emerged as much less than beloved in “Watchman” (some bookstores even offered refunds for those customers who bought the book, read it and ended up being dissatisfied).And in an excellent cover story in the latest issue of Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, it was alleged that Tonja Carter, a lawyer for the Lee family law firm in Monroeville who is handling Harper Lee’s affairs, manipulated the 89-year-old author -- who is currently living in a Monroeville nursing home and incapacitated by a stroke -- to have the book published without her consent, which many people close to Lee said she didn’t want it published in the first place.

For the multitude of people who have bought “Watchman” and are about to read it, they should fully understand the context and circumstances behind the book’s creation before passing judgement on it, and whether or not it would live up to its muchhyped billing. Lee wrote the book back in 1955, but her publisher rejected the manuscript and asked her

to write another novel, in which the characters were taken back in time to the 1930s, and were better fleshed out; the end result was “Mockingbird” and the first manuscript didn’t see the light of day until 60 years later.

“Watchman” is set in 1954, at a time when segregation was gradually being pecked away throughout the Deep South thanks to the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, which effectively made segregation in schools illegal. Scout Finch, whom is referred to throughout most of the narrative by her original name of Jean Louise, is now in her 30s and lives in New York City, and decides to return to her hometown of Maycomb for a vacation to touch base with her family and friends, especially her old flame Henry Clinton (who works as a lawyer in

www.mtltimes.ca

the law firm where Atticus is employed). However, Scout comes home to a Maycomb that is totally unrecognizable to her.

And that change is shockingly represented with her much adored and wise father Atticus. Much to the surprise of Scout (as well as many readers), the highly revered Atticus Finch does not age well in this story.

He suffers from crippling arthritis and is discovered to be an ardent racist, as Scout discovers some antiNegro literature in his study, as well as the fact that he is a member of the local citizens’ council, which is a notorious racist organization. This begins a chain of events that leaves her quite bitter and disillusioned towards her hometown and her family, which climaxes with a verbally violent confrontation with Atticus towards the end of the story, and is probably one of the most intense, revelatory scenes in the book that will certainly throw the readers for a loop.

Basically, Go Set A Watchman is a story of a sentimental journey gone so wrong, and of a town that just won’t change with an America that is gradually realizing that the Jim Crow ways of the Deep South are fading away, and is making way for the civil rights movement that is on the horizon. Lee specifically requested that if this book

ended up being published, it should be published as is, without any major revisions or rewrites done to it, and that is quite evident when you read it; it’s a raw story with a lot of rough edges to it, with many of the characters ending up being quite unrefined. It sort-of makes you understand the raison d’etre of Lee’s publisher to ask her to write another book that would end up being the great American novel that is To Kill A Mockingbird.

So before you go ahead and say it’s a total disappointment and demand your money back, read Go Set A Watchman with a total understanding of the circumstances behind the book that I mentioned in this review; in fact, I recommend that you read (or reread) “Mockingbird” first, in order to reinforce that sense of understanding before you dive into “Watchman”. You may or may not be satisfied with it, but at least you will get a complete portrait of the Finch family of Maycomb, Alabama – warts and all – without seeing it as a much-hyped publicity stunt to garner book sales.

Creme-Brulee

Ingredients • 1 quart heavy cream • 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped • 1 cup vanilla sugar, divided • 6 large egg yolks • 2 quarts hot water Directions Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.

In a medium bowl,

whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually. Pour the liquid into 6 (7 to 8ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrig-

erate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup vanilla sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top.

Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.

the spinal column out.The spine holds the master nervous system, which is the most important part of the body.

People experience pain they are unaware of which causes stress which in turn causes countless other symptoms (sickness, mental illness, breathing problems, heart failure, etc.).

Prevention is superior to treatment. If you have pain and want to tough it out, something deeper may be at play. We must learn to treat the cause, not the symptoms.

Each vertebral bone is attached to nerves which send the signals to everything else in the body.

When the spine is aligned, the nervous system works better, all the internal organs perform their functions at optimum level.

As a chiropractor, I cannot say I have ever healed anyone of anything. What I do is make a specific spinal adjustment to remove the nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. The body is naturally capable of doing so. We get tremendous results.

So pamper yourself. If you are experiencing pain and have not yet seen a chiropractor, it may be time to start considering it. Chiropractic care is affordable and fortunately covered by most major private insurance providers.

DEDICATED TO ENDING YOUR PAIN AND HELPING YOU REACH YOUR HIGHEST POTENTIAL. “ As a doctor, I am dedicated to reducing and eliminating your pinched nerves. I have seen too many people suffer endlessly from leg and lower back pain. Enough is enough! Whether you’ve hurt yourself over the week-end or in an accident, or you’ve been suffering for years, we are here to help you find lasting relief…without drugs or surgery. My goal is to help you get back what is important to you quickly…YOUR LIFE!”

S

Nurture your Nature

By Tara Shannon mtltimes.ca

ince I was little, my mother always loved debating Nurture versus Nature. Some days she would chose Nature, and other days Nurture… she was always open to discussing the complex and controversial subject. As I live and learn, I too have flipflopped on many occasions, teetered the fence on whether our health and character are innate or environmentally manipulated.

Last summer, the debate continued. I announced I was more on the side of Nurture. I had just finished studying the plastic brain and how we can change our body minds with our thoughts. Epigenetics are now proving what Eastern medicine

has known all along. Our genes can be switched on and off depending on our environment. The choices that we make affect how cells express our genes.

That was it for me. I was certain that I had full control over my biological destiny. My thoughts, my diet, my environment, these were what determined my immunity and how long I would live.

Recently, I have wandered back to the 50/50 mark, precisely where my mother has always hovered. (Mother’s are always right aren’t they?) Or perhaps it's more of a totality of both, than a percentage of each. I remember how for generations, our ancestors have passed down energy, memory and DNA. It’s our constitution that determines what choices we need to make to stay healthy and happy!

Type of exercise, food,

lifestyle, all depend on our physical, mental, emotional constitution. What is beneficial for one may be detrimental for another.

Our genetic makeup determines what choices we need to make to create a nourishing environment. You may need a cold revitalizing Manitouka Scrub shower, and I may benefit more from a hot Dead Sea Salt bath.

Our innate differences are as unique as a thumbprint!

By Nurturing your particular Nature, you can use and mold your genes to your advantage.

Everything seems to be a balance doesn’t it?

What is your opinion?

Do you believe we are who we are because of our DNA, or is it environment that shape-shifts our reality?

Montreal Times Pet of the week Meet Mako the Anti-Social Loving Dog!

M

ako is a six-year old German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois mix - and she was a game changer for Donald Gallagher from Montreal, who adopted her from the SPCA when she was all of 8 weeks old. She is his first dog and has since changed his life.

"I went in just to have a look and instantly fell in love… and in the 6 years (after some careful consideration) I changed my life completely. I quit my job and become a certified dog trainer to help other people with their dogs," he said. "And I started my own business."

She is also quite dedicated to Donald.

"What makes her special is she is 'my dog'. She's anti-social and doesn't care about anyone else… follows me around from room to room no matter who is there, couldn't lose her if I tried… lol!"

Unlike most dogs, Mako does not want to

"She's a sweetheart but will make it very obvious she has no interest in you!"

Mako likes her toys and especially anything that flies in the air is her favourite. She also loves to run around chasing things and is really 'prey' driven. As for food, well, it seems to be a deciding factor for her.

"I'm pretty sure she

only tolerates me because I feed her… lol!"

She may indeed be somewhat unusual - but she has captured Donald's heart and inspired him to take steps towards helping others - and that is what makes Mako the Pet of the Week!
