"What were the economic benefits? Was it worth it for the citizens who felt trapped and the businesses that lost money?" she asked - a question many Montrealers would like to hear answered.

A long time in the making, Melanie and Pete are excited to open their doors for the children’s charity.

“It is close to our heart,” says Melanie. “I think children’s health is one of the most important things.

We’ve been trying to do this for a year now, and were finally able to set a date to get The Stone Doctors to Montreal.”

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.

Downtown densification - Pros and Cons

T

The high-rise is the norm in most of the downtown area

Some developments are controversial, like the

he City of Montreal's Strategic Action Plan for Downtown released last year envisions a population increase in the downtown area of 50 thousand people by 2030.

To prepare for that demographic scenario, the Action Plan also foresees the addition of one thousand new three-room-and-plus

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

dwellings in ten years, including "a significant proportion of those being affordable for a family that buys a property for the first time." The Plan also calls for the arrival of three thousand new residents with children within ten years.To achieve these goals, the City also proposes a series of complementary facilities and infrastructures. Among the ones mentioned by the Plan, four new primary schools and one new high-school, and improvements in public transit. Regarding the latter, the idea is to provide as much as 100,000 rides per day, including the use of metro, buses and the new REM. (The controversial Reseau electric de Montréal, the new Light Electric Train that will connect downtown to the

• November 4, 2017

South Shore, Laval and the Pierre E. Trudeau Airport in Dorval).

Is that a good scenario?

Certainly, the population growth in the downtown area will mean an increase in density since, obviously, the territory remains constant. This fact also means that in order to accommodate the potential new dwellers within the same amount of land, the only option is to go vertical: high rise buildings become the norm in the downtown area.

To densify the city, especially its downtown has some significant advantages, but also some problems. On the positive side, the first advantage is to keep the downtown area alive after offices and businesses close. Canadian cities in this regard have had a much better fate than those south of the border with the case of Detroit being the worst case. As people leave the downtown and adjacent areas and move to the suburbs, what once were lively commercial and residential neighbourhoods, now become ghost towns, a phenomenon with very adverse economic and social effects.

Montreal, like most Canadian cities, has avoided that gloomy destiny thanks to the fact that it has managed to retain a large local population.The demographic growth, i.e., densification, has then this positive aspect. As a result of that high residential component, downtown Montreal maintains a reputation as a safe place to visit from other parts of the city, and it also keeps relatively normal retail, entertainment, and restaurant businesses.

A densely populated

area is deficient in those two aspects. Roads and sidewalks need repairs, trees in the area die and no one in the city bureauone approved for the former Franciscan site cracy cares to replace downtown is also a way it was mentioned that the them, green space, in gento counteract the nega- same New York group eral, is insufficient espetive effects of urban that owns the Waldorf- cially if you want to sprawl and migration to Astoria would build a attract families with chilthe suburbs.

Although there is ever, densification may also create its own problems: car use, for instance, is still high among downtowners because after all, having wheels is very much an entrenched part of the North American culture. With narrower streets in the area and the presence of those who work or study there and who also—somehow unwisely— bring their cars downtown, traffic becomes a big issue, increasing pollution and reducing the quality of life for both residents and visitors.

Since the most lucrative—and therefore preferred by developers—way of providing housing to people in the area is the high-rise, more and more condo towers are built. At this very moment, two massive—and controversial— developments are in the preliminary steps of construction: the one at the former Franciscan site, and the one where the Children's Hospital used to be. Some others are being planned, including one that would destroy some buildings which are still in good shape. Paradoxically, a site in a prime location, the one located on Sherbrooke which also faces Guy, has been vacant and used as a parking lot for decades. At one point

talk of bringing some public schools to the area, and in a few years the westend part of downtown will finally have its community centre, much is needed to keep this part of the city lively and attractive to more families.

It is obvious then that densification, in the long run, could be a very good thing, provided that those who come to live in the area have access to the necessary facilities and services. Otherwise, it could create a nightmarish situation with traffic and public services out of control.

his November 1st will be the first ever National Acromegaly Awareness Day. But what is acromegaly? Usually, acromegaly develops from an excess growth hormone. In some, it’s signalled by an enlargement in the hands and feet. In others, it’s invisible—aside from the adverse and life-altering side effects including extreme fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and vision problems. Santino Matrundola, owner and photographer of Fusion Photography, experienced the invisible later effects of the disease.

50PlusPC teaches technology to seniors

A

West Island retiree has just celebrated her 4th year in business helping seniors learn about technology. Monica Reider, of Dollard des Ormeaux, has always had a knack for understanding electronic communications and always enjoyed teaching people. Now she offers training sessions for Facebook, Skype, smartphones, computers, Macs and iPad at her clients’ own homes.

She wants her clients to enhance their lifestyles with their (new) devices. If a client doesn’t own a particular device, she will bring hers for them to try and practice on.

However, perhaps most importantly, Reider who is 66 refers to herself as a junior senior is close to the age of many of her clients.

“I am not intimidating to seniors,” as she puts it.

“They feel reassured once I start working with them.

We understand stand each other”. Her clients generally range in age from their 60s to early 90s.

“I start by asking questions, seeing what my clients’ needs are. I listen to them. I listen to what they want to know. Why must they wait for a course to come along with an abundance of information that is, frankly, useless to them.

They don’t need to know the intricacies of a com-

puter, they just want to email, chat, or even play games like solitaire. I show them, step by step. I don’t do it for them. It’s important that they do it for themselves. Everything is written out and we go over it as many times as necessary until they can comfortably manage on their own and feel independent.

Everyone is different.

Everyone works at their own pace.”

“Sometimes when younger people try showing us how to use technology, they have little patience or understanding.

The young ones were born into this computer world, we weren’t, and they sometimes forget that important fact. For them it’s 2nd nature, for us it’s a whole new learning process. I’m a ‘Hands on’ person and know how important it is. I show people and guide them so that they can do this on their own.”

It is becoming increasingly important to cope with modern electronic

technology and communications for both business and social reasons. Reider points to online banking as an important feature that many seniors are unfamiliar with. “It’s a great feeling; it’s liberating when you don’t need to go out in bad weather, or just don’t feel up to it, to be able to get into your banking online.” she notes.

Reider can also show how to sell unwanted items the modern way, via electronic notice boards such as Craigslist and Kijiji, helping clients to de-clutter and perhaps also bringing in some extra cash at the same time. Making purchases online via E-bay and PayPal is also becoming increasingly important.

“But the biggest push for seniors is coming from wanting to keep in touch with their families and friends.Young people today prefer to communicate online by Facebook, Twitter and email; letter writing is almost a lost art.” She also notes that Canada Post has phased out home mail delivery as another reason to get aboard with electronic communications.

“Long distance telephone communications can be carried out easily and at no cost via Skype, Messenger, FaceTime etc. Learning about electronic communications is especially pertinent for many Montreal

seniors whose families have moved away from Quebec.

These new skills help to keep seniors in touch and break the isolation.”

“Smart phones can also be intimidating for some users. I had one client who bought such a phone for emergency use, but never used it, never turned it on, not even once for an entire year. She was embarrassed to admit she didn’t know how to use it. She is not alone. I can show people how to use these things...”

Reider jokes about how her husband always used to call for her whenever the family TV or VCR machine

www.mtltimes.ca

wasn’t working properly, and how she was able to quickly solve the issue. To supplement her knack with new technology, she has taken various courses at the Cummings Centre,The West Island Career Centre, and at John Abbott College in recent years.

Reider also tends to be one of the consumers who rushes to buy the latest technology just so she can stay abreast of the newest developments.

Back in 2013 Reider had impressed the Quebec government enough to merit receiving a new business start-up grant.

“I go to my clients’ place of residence to show them how to use their new technology. I have clients over the city, West Island, in NDG, Cote St Luc, Park Extension, Verdun and downtown. There’s a one hour minimum with my services. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Interac eTransfer or credit card. Some clients even like the idea that they get points from using their credit cards”.

Will you be getting a Flu Shot?

A

s Quebec launches its annual flu vaccination campaign, provincial health authorities are emphasizing just how important it is to get the shot in order to prevent getting sick - especially for children and the elderly who are more at risk, as well as our health care workers. It is a controversial issue, with some people adamantly against it and others taking the shot without hesitation.

One thing everyone agrees on, they don't want to end up out of commission, missing work and other commitments - and instead find themselves in bed coughing and sneezing with fever, headaches, nausea and a body that feels like one big, aching train wreck.

Flu shots are given as a preventative measure especially against a full blown epidemic. The goal is to stop the virus from spreading and to help prevent those who are more susceptible from catching the strains of the season.

Complications from the flu can result in bronchitis, pneumonia and other serious infections, which can prove deadly for people with weaker immune systems.

Many are still very much opposed to it and do not get the vaccine. It does have its risks like severe allergic reactions, such as a seizure - but it is very rare and why they make you wait 15 minutes after getting a shot. And although there is no confirmed evidence, anti-vaccine proponents claim it can cause serious problems, like autism - caused by thimerosal, a mercury compound used as a preservative in the mix.

According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, vac-

cines do contain harmful adjuvants and preservatives, and possibly viral proteins. They claim that 'brain inflammation and death are known side effects of every vaccine. But what most people don’t take into consideration is that conditions such as autism, ADHD and learning disabilities are manifestations of an inflamed brain'. For instance, some vaccines contain aluminum compounds, a neurotoxin associated with Alzheimer’s and de-

takes about two weeks before really kicking in and lasts approximately six months.

A bigger question is how effective a flu shot really is? The World Health Organization (WHO) and Canada have several 'vaccination surveillance programs' aimed at ensuring the quality of vaccines offered and how it is administered. The viruses causing the flu can change each year and there is no way to predict exactly which strain will be more predominant, it is why the composition of flu vaccines are reviewed annually in order to include the strain most likely to be in circulation each season, and they have been wrong before.

This year they apparently got the strain right.

Biodiversity Crisis in Montreal

Why are we still building on green space?

talists.This emerged from a panel discussion on October 31 organized by the Green Coalition and Sierra Club Quebec. Panelists talked specifically about wet meadows in Pierrefonds West, wetlands in StLaurent’s Technoparc, Meadowbrook Golf Course beside Montreal West, and the St. Jacques Escarpment.

“Montreal is the international headquarters of the Secretariat of the Conven-

• November 4, 2017

tion on Biological Diversity.

However, the city's biodiversity is increasingly threatened and Montreal's lack of environmental action is dishonoring all its citizens and tarnishing the prestige of the Secretariat,” said Patrick Barnard of the Green Coalition.

“The UN Decade of Biodiversity was initiated here in Montreal at City Hall in 2010,” added David Fletcher who notes Montreal officially committed to saving much of its territory as green space. “Instead, we dishonourably adopted lesser targets and Montreal’s exceptional natural heritage is being destroyed.”

Both Pierrefonds West

and Technoparc have endangered species of birds nesting there or in close proximity, but these areas are still threatened with development.

Louise Legault of Les Amis du parc Meadowbrook spoke about one of the few “success stories” in preserving green space.

After 25 years of lobbying and court battles, the Meadowbrook case is now “resolved” in that it is zoned parkland. But it remains private land open only to golfers; those who walk dogs or cross-country ski there are trespassing.

Many speakers addressed the precipitous population declines of many species of birds, insects, amphibians, etc. “We will soon be forced to eat oatmeal,” declared Don Hobus, mentioning that bees are projected to go extinct around 2035. He added that after we lose pollinating insects, there will be much less food to eat.

Hobus revealed that he is no great fan of the current mayor of Montreal, suggesting that, “his best friends are land developers.”

The eight panellists were also very critical of a recent poll suggesting that most people in Pierrefonds West

are in favour of the proposed residential development there.They called this a “push poll,” paid for by the developer and giving skewed results. “It is more significant that almost 20,000 people have signed a petition to save the area as greenspace. We also have the support of 87 percent of those presenting at the recent OCPM public hearings on this project,” said Alison Hackney of

www.mtltimes.ca

Sauvons l'Anse à l'Orme.

Both the Sierra Club and Green Coalition have called for a 10 year moratorium on all green space development on Montreal Island. This is to give the city time to honour its commitments and save some 10 percent of the land area as green space.

Currently, less than six percent is saved; to reach our targets means acquiring some 2,000 additional

hectares of green space— the equivalent of 10 Mount Royal Parks.

“We cannot afford to lose another hectare of greenspace,” says Barnard, pointing out that there are some 5,000 hectares of abandoned industrial land on Montreal Island that could be developed instead. **disclaimer: the author is a candidate in the November 5 municipal elections**

For the 9th edition of the Sheila and Victor Goldbloom Award ceremony, created in 2009 by the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), the honours went to businessman and former politician Clifford Lincoln, to health and social services advocate James Carter and to Sun Youth cofounders Sid Stevens and Earl De La Perralle. The Young Quebecers Leading the Way Award went to Claudia Do Iorio for her efforts in

promoting safe driving.

The evening hosted by CTV Montreal journalist and lead anchor Mutsumi Takahashi highlighted the 5 nominees exceptional contribution to Quebec's anglophone community.

“In their individual ways, and in far different fields of endeavour, our Community Award winners have proven to be extraordinary leaders who have made exceptional contributions to our Community of Communities,” QCGN President James Shea said via press release. “All have been visionaries, dedicated to their communities and their causes. They not only inspire social change—they embody it through their actions and their commitment.”

When 13 year-old Sid Stevens and 9 year-old Earl De La Perralle created with a group of

youngsters a handwritten newspaper called "The Clark Street Sun" in 1954, their main goal was to generate much-needed funds to finance the purchase of sports equipment. They had little idea that their small hand-written newspaper would give birth to one of the city's best known community organizations sixty-three years later.

The evening was full of emotions for Sun Youth representatives in attendance, including both nominees. It was also a wonderful evening for all those present at this event marked by cultural diversity. In fact, all speakers spoke in French and English, showing the openness of the English-speaking community and its desire to build bridges of understanding between Quebecers of different backgrounds.

What Is Laser Light Therapy ?

Sponsored

H

By Jessica Romano Montreal Times

ealing with the use of light is not a new concept.

Light therapy was reported to be effective for many conditions by Hippocrates. Today with the development of laser and its special properties, using light as a healing treatment has gained popularity especially among many athletes worldwide. Because we can now use specific wavelengths of light and give accurately measured doses of energy directly to the appropriate treatment

site it provides faster recovery from injuries.

Laser therapy has been successfully used around the world for over 25 years, with ho reported long-term or irreversible side effects.

Low level lasers supply energy in the form of nonthermal photons of light that is transmitted through the skin's layers, the epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue under the skin, delivering all wavelengths in the visible range. However light waves in the near infrared ranges penetrate the deepest of all light waves in the visible spectrum.When the low level light is applied

into the site it optimizes the natural immune responses of the body. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted to the blood in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen, energy and collagen.

Laser light therapy is quite passive, the most notable sensation is the touch of the probe of the laser, as it comes into contact with the skin. people have reported a slight tingling along a nerve pathway.

Some have noted that they are able to sense a slight feeling of warmth. Following a laser therapy session over 80% can notice an im-

mediate improvement and feel better. Generally the more chronic or severe the condition , the longer it takes to respond. The majority of conditions can take anywhere from 4 to 10 treatments.

According to published medical reports, many acute and chronic conditions may be improved or eliminated with Low Level Light Therapy ( LLLT ).

Here are some of the conditions LLT can help to improve : • Acupuncture Points Arthritis - Neuralgia • Back Pain - Knee PainNeck Pain - Joint Pain

• Bursitis - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Tennis Elbow • Herniated/Bulging Discs Migraine Headaches • Trigger Points - Sprains & Strains - Tendonitis • Fibromyalgia - TMJ Pain Nerve Pain • Plantar Fasciitis - Muscle Pains & Spasms The benefits of laser light therapy are numerous and the effect varies according to the person and type of condition. LLLT relieves acute and chronic pains, it increase the speed and quality of tissue repair by increasing blood supply. It stimulates the Immune and nerve function, promotes faster wound healing and

reduces inflammation. Scientific research and studies have shown it to be effective and safe and has FDA approval.

For more information or to evaluate your condition to determine if (LLLT) laser light therapy is appropriate for you contact : J. Romano , ND ( 514 ) 231-5513 www.integrated-healingarts.com ( This article is for information purposes only not intended to diagnose or cure.

Portraying reality: Doc Fest is coming

"24 Davids" directed by Céline Barial will open the Documentary Festival on Nov. 9th lish, and Spanish, with English and French subtitles.

If the opening film seems to introduce the world to the spectators through the views of those 24 particular individuals, "Nothingwood," the closing film would take the viewer to the reality of a country of which we hear and see a lot of in the news, usually associated with violent events.

Afghanistan is seen here in a quite different fashion.

Perhaps most people wouldn't know that de-

spite great obstacles, that country also makes movies: "Salim Shaheen is a force of nature whose imposing body instantly dominates the screen.

He's a movie lover who lives for the countless films he produces, writes, directs and stars in, preferably playing the role of an invincible hero. The uncontested king of Z movies in Afghanistan, Shaheen fights his country's many real-life horrors with movie magic, cranking out 10 movies a

year." This movie is in English, French, Pashtun, Dari, with English and French subtitles.

Most of the topics covered by the documentaries deal with social issues. From Islamist radicalization of young Muslims in "Also Known as Jihadi" by Eric Baudelaire (France) in French with English subtitles, to the situation of Syrian children refugees in a camp in Jordan presented by "Zaatari Sjin" by Catherine van Campen (Netherland) with English subtitles. But there are other themes too, "Cielo" by Alison McAlpine (Canada-Chile) presents a "poetic, scientific, and spiritual journey in the company of stargazers," with English and French subtitles. One film that was also presented at the Toronto Festival is

"EX LIBRIS – The New York Public Library" by Frederick Wiseman (USA), a three-hour indepth look into the diverse world of books and research in that iconic New York institution.

"Wiseman looks into every corner, observing the library's denizens with his customary rigour and insight. Beyond the library itself, he captures a state of intellectual excitement.

In a place that seems to be the last bastion of social cohesion, arguments and discussions range freely, and the filmmaker takes advantage of that rich life to sketch a portrait of the United States and its current issues."

Home Sweet Scent

I

By Tara Palov mtltimes.ca

am travelling across Costa Rica, family in tow, with less and less of my beloved Earth to Body products. For a natural skin care addict, this is tragic living… Not to mention the environmental adjustments. The humid wet climate calls for moldy infestations on anything less than airy open and free.

Today we washed our sheets and aired out our mattresses. I am accustomed to spritzing vinegar freshness on everything due to its cheap, effective and natural benefits. While I was methodically spraying my eleven year old’s bed of mildew, his brother appeared by my side, along with an inhalation from home. Thieves oil blend enveloped the air. In his little hand was a bottle of

Earth to Body's “Thieves Oil” All Purpose Sanitizer.

He had packed it three months ago, from Montreal, in his Backpack. We brought only necessities, therefore the kids only had their favorite clothes, cards, tech and art supplies. Yet, here he was, holding the bottle.

When this little man appeared with the sanitizer spray, my heart melted.

Sometimes it’s the unexpected little things that bring the most joy.

The following day, I opened my bedroom cupboards to white mold. As I scratched my head as to how or why there would be closed wooden furniture anywhere in the Costa Rican vicinity, I cursed the owners and managers. We were only going to be there a few more days, but we wiped it down anyway. Bad idea.

The moldy smell became rampantly airborne and worse than before. I

asked Google about mold and Thieves Oil, and of course, up popped the proof. It’s all you need.

Thank goodness for the 'Thieves Oil' All Purpose Sanitizer, and my adorable child!

“I packed it because it’s my favorite Earth to Body product and I love the smell.”
