Montreal International Documentary Festival

T

"L'Autre Rio" takes a different look at the Rio Olympics

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

his past weekend the Montreal International Documentary Festival ended with a congratulatory note: it was the largest event devoted to this movie genre ever held in this city. As on other occasions, the Documentary Festival was also an opportunity for local filmmakers and producers to exchange experiences with some guest colleagues. The event was also an occasion to demonstrate the good creative level of documen-

tary-making in the country and in particular in this province.

The titles of the films that won awards in the different categories were also unveiled this weekend.

The grand prize for the best international feature, went to "Room for a Man" directed by Anthony Chidiac (Lebanon-USA co-production). This film explores how a very conservative family in Lebanon deals with the issue of homosexuality.

The Jury in its statement said: "The film opens doors and windows to an inner world that contains an entire private universe of deep meaning, broach-

ing serious issues with wry humour and an irresistible rebellious spirit."

The special jury prize went to "Taste of Cement" by Ziad Kalthoum (Germany-Lebanon-SyriaUnited Arab EmiratesQatar co-production).

"For its bold artistic vision that seeks ways to involve film in social and political realities, its original creative approach and its exploration of the dark corners of exile," the Jury wrote.

W

ith the arrival at Montreal City Hall of a new mayor and a party that claims to champion the aspirations of the little guy, hopes are high that some characteristics of urban development in the last few years will finally change for the better. One of them is this phenomenon known as gentrification, defined

by Matt Orsini in his Mtl Blog as "the process of renewal and rebuilding accompanying the influx of middle-class or affluent people into deteriorating areas that often displaces poorer residents." In the last few years the cases of Saint Henri (which brought about some acts of vandalism against some new businesses), Griffintown, Plateau MontRoyal, and more recently Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, have been cited as typical examples in our city.

The area surrounding boulevard St. Laurent, St. Urbain and Park Avenue between Sherbrooke and St. Joseph, is a typical case. It was initially a neighbourhood that received Jewish immigrants (well-portrayed in the works of Mordecai Richler), then Portuguese and Greeks, later in the 1980s and 1990s, lots of Latinos and Arabs were coming to live in the area. With them, restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores to cater to their own demands of food. But it

• November 25, 2017

seems that is not anymore: for some time now that area as some other parts of Plateau MontRoyal are experiencing the conversion of old houses into condos for middle and well-to-do residents, displacing the low-income neighbours.

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

Perhaps one could also ask what makes these more or less affluent people, many of them suburban dwellers, suddenly migrate to urban areas that were until recently populated by working class and low-income immigrants. Is it that suburbanites are taking seriously that characterization of their neighbourhood so-well portrayed by Pete Seeger in his song "Little Boxes?"

Remember those ironic lyrics: "Little boxes on the hillside / Little boxes made of ticky tacky / Little boxes / Little boxes / Little boxes all the same / There's a green one and

a pink one / And a blue one and a yellow one / And they're all made out of ticky tacky / And they all look just the same…"

Maybe that sameness of the suburban landscape has made those people look for some adventure in the "urban jungle," maybe they want to be near some action, or it is just boredom. The issue at hand is that this migration of prosperous people to some areas of the city, although it has some positive aspects, such as revitalizing some old and declining neighbourhoods, on the other hand, it has many negative features as well. Chief among the latter is the displacement of low-income people, which may happen due to two main factors. Rentals become higher because now there are people who can pay more and the housing market then gets hot, and in the most extreme cases because entire neighbourhoods are torn down to give way to big condo buildings.

Not only residents are displaced, but businesses in the area also suffer the effects of the new looks of the neighbourhood.

Traditional grocery stores, small familyowned restaurants and bars, independent barbershops and beauty parlors give way to chain supermarkets, sophisticated— and more expensive— bars and restaurants, and

Gentrification doesn't necessarily bring successful businesses to an area, but the small neighbourhood stores are now gone

franchises of large chains.

With that revamped look and the new residents, a whole neighbourhood sees its culture and identity transformed beyond recognition. The current view of Griffintown is a good example of that phenomenon.

For the new administra-

tion, as in general for any municipal government, facing the powerful interests of real estate developers is a formidable challenge. Valerie Plante and her party have promised to prioritize social and affordable housing, and one way to start fulfilling this pledge is to

preserve the character of the traditional neighbourhoods in the city. Besides the negative social impact of residents being displaced from the areas where they may have lived for decades, the charm of those old neighbourhoods in Montreal may be gone forever too.

Free Report Reveals How to Avoid Getting Stuck Owning Two Homes

MONTREAL - West Island - Every month, thousands of homeowners are faced with the stressful dilemma of whether to buy first or sell first.You see, if you buy before selling, you could run the risk of owning two homes. Or, just as bad, if you sell first, you could end up homeless. It's what insiders in the industry call the Real Estate Catch 22, and it's an extremely anxious position to find yourself in.

This financial and emotional tightrope is one you usually have to walk alone because most agents have no way of helping you with this predicament. But one local realtor is using a unique Guaranteed Sale Program which solves this dilemma. This program guarantees the sale of your present home before you take possession of your new one. If your home doesn't sell in 120 days, they will buy it from you themselves for the previously agreed price ensuring that you never get caught in the Real Estate

Catch 22. Before you hire any professional, you should research the market to find out who can do the best job for you. When interviewing agents, find out what kind of guarantee they are willing to give you with respect to the selling of your home. Unfortunately, you'll find that most agents simply cannot make such a guarantee.

Fair Play Soccer

S

un Youth quickly came to mind when Laila Piumbini started organizing a fundraising soccer tournament with her friends.

Having grown up in the Plateau area, Laila was well aware of the Saint-Urbain street organization's mission. Her friends all played sports at Sun Youth and she remembers growing up wishing the organization had a soccer team.

Proud daughter of a single and hard working mom, Laila has a real passion for soccer and even now plays in three different leagues.

After graduating from the John Molson School of Business and finding employment as an Investment Representative at the Royal Bank of Canada, she felt ready to give back to the community.

• November 25, 2017

Laila’s fiancé, Joseph Francis Espinosa, shares her passion for the sport and community involvement and helped organize the event. “From the first moment that Laila brought up the idea of combining sports and charity, I jumped on the opportunity”, says Espinosa.

“Knowing how Sun Youth is an organization that focuses on trying to balance the playing field for everyone, I was truly inspired.

From there I started brainstorming and the notion of the name “FairPlay” seamlessly came to me like an organic process.”

Giving everyone the chance to play applies not only to origins and financial means but also to gender issues. There was never any doubt in the or-

ganizers’ minds that the tournament would be coed, available to both women and men. “I am fortunate to have moved to a country in which the boys I was playing soccer with didn’t expel me at once from the soccer field because I was a girl”, explains Laila. “Instead, they became my friends and would even share tips and tricks on the field with me. I had a dream as a little girl to play on the same team as the boys. I always thought it was silly that they separated me from my friends based on my gender and not my skills.

Ken Dryden with his new book ‘Game Change’

en Dryden, the Hall of Fame goaltender who was part of the Montreal Canadiens dynasty of the 1970s that saw them win six Stanley Cups throughout that decade (including four Cups in a row between 1976 and 1979), has always loved the game of hockey.

Although he hung up his skates as a player nearly 40 years ago, Dryden’s love of the game has never wavered. It has transcended into five bestselling books, including his classic 1982 memoir The Game, and his 1989 book Home Game that looked at how hockey has played a role in Canadian society. And now in his latest book Game Change, Dryden has focused his love of the game of hockey to an issue that has recently affected many current and former players in a devastating manner that is becoming a growing concern in both professional and amateur hockey: head injuries and concussions.

Game Change tells the story of the late Steve Montador, a player who worked his way up the ranks of professional hockey to become a reliable and likable defenceman with such NHL teams as the Calgary Flames, the Florida Panthers and the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2000s. However, Montador absorbed a lot of heavy body checks during his time with the NHL, which resulted in countless concussions and he ended up with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a traumatic brain disorder … which was diagnosed only after Montador’s death in 2015 at the age of only 35.

But why did Dryden choose to relate Montador’s tragically short life and his struggles with

head injuries that were sustained on the ice for the book, instead of a more high profile player like Eric Lindros, who had to cut short his NHL career because he sustained too many concussions?

“To write about concussions, you have to write about a person. You have to write about a life, and what a life feels like when you have concussions,” said Dryden during a oneon-one interview last month while he travelling across the country to

One of the major reasons why Game Change is such a compelling book to read is that Dryden tells the story of Steve Montador’s tragically short life and his struggle with CTE by interspersing that narrative with juxtapositions of how the game of hockey has developed since the first officially recognized ice hockey game was played at McGill University in 1875, which he includes the creation of the NHL in 1917, the evolution of the game, the 1967 NHL expansion, the evolution of hockey equipment, how other NHL players suffered and dealt with the effects of head injuries, and how science is trying to detect and prevent related brain injuries that are sustained on the ice.

By Stuart Nulman “These are all significant parts of the story because mtltimes.ca when I am telling the promote the book. “If it story of a life, science had would have been about Lindros, it would have to be part of it, and bebeen about a star, and cause when people think somehow, the ‘starness’ of about it, you got to adhim would have taken dress it; you got to find over.

If you don’t, then “Before Steve died, he your audience is going to was not living a nice life.

In fact, according to Quebec Transport Minister Andre Fortin, it will have the same number of lanes on

its ramps - maybe even fewer.

"In terms of widening highways, we can't just look at highways to fix our mobility issues. We need to look at urban transit, active transportation," said the Minister in a CTV news report.

Last Monday November 20th, Mayor ValĂŠrie Plante was on hand for a

New Turcot same Traffic ceremony marking the new section of Hwy 20, part of the Turcot reconfiguration.

She was pleased at the progress, but no mention was made about the volume of traffic the Turcot will (or will not) be able to accommodate when it is completed in 2020. Nonetheless, there is not much for her to say, as construction of the new interchange is under provincial jurisdiction and well underway, making it highly unlikely for any changes to take place.

But Mayor Plante did bring up the subject of 'Dalle Park' again, a pedestrian/bicycle/greenspace' overpass linking NDG to LaSalle. It was in the original Turcot plans but somehow quietly disappeared until several environmental groups and cycling activists took notice and cried out.

Plante, an avid cyclist herself, had discussed reviving the project with Minister Fortin, who said he was open to discussing it further. He was not able to say why it was left out, but they agreed to a 'consultation process' with advocates of the original project. The area where it was supposed to be built is still available but even if the project gets the go ahead, Fortin said it would

Add in bad weather conditions where work has to be stopped, strikes or slowdowns and unforeseen technical problems, it would not be surprising if the completion of the Turcot will go past the projected 2020 date. Should that happen, commuters may very well go past their 'best before date' and the capacity to remain tolerant while trying to navigate the city's infrastructure nightmare.

Do you know champagne

C

hances are that you probably drink Champagne during the Christmas holidays or during StValentine days. I have seen people that pick a bottle of Moet Chandon or La Veuve Clicquot during those times at the SAQ without giving much thought about where it comes from or how it is made. They just identify the name and after the producer. My idea for this article is not to give a full detailed lecture of Champagne but to create an awareness of the sparkling wine.

The Champagne production zone AOC comprises around 34,000 hectares of vineyards, 150 km away from Paris. The vineyards are spread around 320 villages ( also called crus) in five departments: the Marne (66% of plantings), Aube (23%),Aisne (10%) ,Haute-Marne and Seineet-Marne. These are grouped in regions which are called The Montagne de Reims, The Vallée de la Marne, The Côte des Blancs and The Côte des Bar. The principal grapes permitted for the production of Champagne are: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. Other approved varieties include the white Arbane, Petit Meslier, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. The choice of grapes will depend on the climate and terroir which leads me to my next topic.

The terroir in Champagne is quite special: it’s the aftermath of an incredible geological formation ( such as landslide of the Parisian basin and Alpine orogeny). As a result, there is a chalky subsoil, which represents a crucial point for the roots of the vines (it allows a perfect drainage of the soil) but also for the wine cellars: the chalk makes a cooling effect for the cellar.

Situated at a northern latitude of 49°N, the

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca

Champagne region lies at the northern frontier of the world's vineyardgrowing areas, with cooler average temperatures than any other French wine region. In this kind of cool climate, the growing season is just warm enough to ripen grapes to the levels required for standard winemaking.

Each Champagne has it own style, and that's why we see different bottles at

the market. Champagne styles stand out in their color, sweetness, dominant grape varieties, and whether their origins come from a single vintage or blend (Non-Vintage). Champagne may be either Blanc de Noirs (made from black-skinned grapes), Blanc de Blancs (made from greenskinned grapes) or just plain Blanc (made from any combination of the permitted varieties). Pink Champagne Rosé is made either by adding red wine to a white blend or sometimes by fermenting the juice in contact with the skins. These types all come with varying degrees of sweetness – not the result of residual sugar, but due to the addition of a dosage just before the wine is finally bottled.

Traditionally, most Champagne on the market has been produced by the larger Champagne houses. They typically source the grapes from independent growers across the region and they blend. As a result, these Champagnes are a regional expression rather than a singular expression of a single-estate.

Some of these houses may be already familiar names to you and they include: Moët et Chandon, B o l l i n g e r , K r u g , Ta i t t i n g e r, L o u i s Roederer, Mumm, Veuve Clicquot, Piper-Heidsieck and Dom Pérignon.

Then, there is Grower

Champagne which is made by the vine growers themselves. This is a style of Champagne that is becoming more popular nowadays. These wines make shine a specific terroir rather than the overall Champagne region. A recent phenomenon, It's only been in the last couple of decades that growers have been capable to produce this style for themselves, adding a terroir driven dimension to Champagne. Some of my favorite grower Champagnes include Agrapart, Vilmart, Doquet.

Now that you are more familiar with Champagne ( I hope that I did a good job), I can tell you about my producer that I recently got to know better.

lattes.This technique concerns only the sparkling wines from Champagne and the Loire Valley. After fermentation, the wine is bottled with a small dose of sugar, so refermentation starts and carbonic gas is produced. The bottles are keep horizontally in wooden slats for a minimum of one year, so the Champagne gets their fine mousse that is so much appreciated for. This technique is required for all types of Champagne. It ranges from 12 months to 3 years for the vintage Champagnes.

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

Top five books for Christmas 2017

T

After reading my fair share of key Fall 2017 titles, here are my top five choices of the books that must be on your Christmas shopping and/or wish list: Montreal 1909 by Robert N. Wilkins (Shoreline, $35).

Local historian Robert N. Wilkins really has a passion for Montreal’s history, and it shows in a big way with his latest book Montreal 1909. Basically, it’s a month-by-month, day-byday look at what went on in Montreal – both significant and mundane – throughout the year of 1909. Why Wilkins chose that year is unclear (the only significant event that took place that year that Montrealers still remember was the establishment

he Christmas holiday season is upon us again, and that means shopping to get your friends and loved ones – hopefully – the right gift that they always wanted or needed. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn’t.

However, there is one type of Christmas gift that practically never makes its way to the returns and/or exchange line as of December 26: books. Between September and December, publishers bring out a multitude of high profile key titles that will not only grab the attention of potential readers, but also those who need a good gift idea or two while they do their Christmas shopping.

And the book is also available in a deluxe limited edition that is autographed by Souza, printed on heavy matte art stock paper, encased in an embossed cloth slipcase, and includes a print that is suitable for framing (and sells for $200).

The Jacksons Legacy (Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, $38.99). It’s hard to believe that it’s been 50 years since a group of brothers from Gary, Indiana made their debut as a singing group that in 1969, were signed by Motown records and as the Jackson 5, had their first four singles reach the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 record charts. To commemorate the Jacksons’ golden anniversary, the family has put together an impressive illustrated history of their remarkable career in the pop music industry (both as a group and as solo artists), using countless artifacts and

memorabilia from their personal archives (which includes candid photos, magazine articles and covers, record sleeves, frames from their TV specials and animated Saturday morning series, and even the Post cereal boxes that included a cut out record on the back), the Jackson family shows how they carved out their place in the history of rock music, which at times was not always easy as “ABC”.

Stephen Colbert’s Midnight Confessions by Stephen Colbert (Simon & Schuster, $26.99). This book is the ultimate stocking stuffer this Christmas.

Based on a regular feature from his nightly CBS talk show “The Late Show”, Colbert displays his glib, pointed sense of humour in a collection of “midnight confessions” that deal with his brief take on a whole variety of topics, whether it be everyday life, religion, family life, technology, or America, which are funny, provocative, or sometimes downright outrageous (my favorite confession of Colbert’s is “I haven’t finished a book in twenty years.

Don’t tell me how the Bible ends. I think Jesus is gonna pull this one out.”).

The book also includes Midnight Confessions from a number of Late Show viewers, and a section at the end of the book where you can write your own confessions.

8. Do not schedule the move-in for the weekend; try to move during the week when the community is fully staffed.

9. Inquire about a “Be Our Guest” program. Some communities provide furnished rooms for a few days at no charge to help the future resident get acclimated.

10.Be sure to complete the resident history questionnaires before moving in as it helps the staff in the building become even more involved with the new resident if they already know their history, likes and dislikes.

When there is a move into a retirement home, the lack of familiarity with both the environment and the other residents can be quite intimidating. Very often, family members can feel guilty about placing loved ones into a senior residence. The reality is that a move will most likely be for the best.
