Canada Post Stops Community Mailbox Conversions Saturday, January 27, 2018

anada Post is stopping any further conversions of community mailboxes, Federal Government officials announced on Wednesday.

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

At a briefing with reporters, officials said there will be no more conversions of home delivery service to community mailboxes. Community mailboxes already in place

will remain for those who now use them - home delivery will be not be restored. But they did announce they will be bringing in 'assisted mail delivery service' for those with limited mobility and have difficulty getting to and reaching the boxes. Those who still have home delivery will continue to receive that service. Community mailboxes were first introduced by the former Conservative government, as part of their plan to save close to $400 million a year for Canada Post, struggling in the new online world and losing money. It was not a very popular decision and during the election campaign the Liberals promised stop the plan to end home mail delivery across the country - and that they would carry out a review of the Crown Cor-

poration. After being elected they suspended it and began looking at other ways of increasing revenue and saving money. At the briefing, they

said they will be bringing in new management at Canada Post and 'given the boom in shipping of parcels and the associated profits for the Crown corporation, there is a

window of opportunity for Canada Post to modernize its business model'. Officials also said that there was a dramatic increase in revenues from parcels, exceeding their

2017 predictions. Let's hope so, as the challenge so far has been an uphill battle. Please let us know how you feel: info@mtltimes.ca

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.

The decor has not changed since the restaurants opened, and this will give you the impression that you are going back in time.Vintage barn-style wooden accents decorate the walls and ceilings, and comfortable table or booth seating awaits you.

will certainly amuse you. Both restaurants offer the choice between a dining zone with big screen tvs and a sports game playing, or the quieter, more family-friendly area which is where we asked to be seated. The downtown location has five dining rooms and 225 seats, and the west-island location has 515 seats, so bring your friends and family without hesitation, you will be accommodated no matter how big your group is. The downtown location was opened in 1967 and the West-Island restaurant opened thirteen years later, in 1980. Bar-B Barn is famous for its ribs and chicken. Our host for the evening, co-owner Tom McQueen, explained to us that he and his partners Manny and Dalton Barnoff ship their products as far as Western Canada, to long-term faithful customers in Calgary and even the Yukon! My dining partner Wes and I decided that we wanted to try as many of the items on the menu as possible and our friendly waiter Nelson gladly brought us many dishes. We started with a Caesar salad ($7, or $10 with added chicken). It was quite good, served with plenty of bacon bits, big crunchy croutons and good homemade dressing.

He would have given the birthday celebrator an up to $25 discount on our meal. The menu offers many different sized portions to please all appetites, and a kids’ menu to boot. If you want to take a step back to relax, and have yourselves a wholesome, no-nonsense plentiful meal, head over to either of the two Bar-B Barn locations.

Hours of love go in to making the best ribs and chicken in Montreal

The garden salad ($7), also a generous portion, is made with fresh crunchy vegetables, and offered with a choice of three dressings, one of which was a house dressing, and my favourite. Our next dish was a starter serving of chicken wings ($12 a pound), which came with three sauces ranging from mild to call 911 hot. The wings were plump and the meat was tender, and we left nothing on our plates but carefully-picked bones. We were then served our main dishes, a Whole

Hawg ($31, 9 maxi ribs), served with a choice of onion rings, crinkle fries or homemade mashed potatoes. This was an enormous portion, and since we asked to taste a bit of all the sides, so as to be able to write about it, I was able to say that the mashed potatoes were my favourite, and Wes preferred the fries, although we finished all of the tasty onion rings. The ribs, coated four times and cooked slowly for three hours, were quite tender and lip-smacking good. The second main

dish was the quarter chicken ($10), also served with a choice of sides. The chicken is marinated for 24 hours in a dry-rub, then also cooked slowly for two and half hours. The meat was butterytender and delicious. Even though the food was very good, the portions were so generous that we ended up taking some home. Our desserts were just awesome. A rich plain cheesecake served with blueberry sauce ($6) and a slice of homemade apple pie ($4), which we

Healing Power of Cold Laser Sponsored

or years, pain management treatment options have relied on drugs, surgery, and other mechanical attempts to stopping the pain. With more and more people getting addicted to pain killers and pain pills that only mask the pain, and others being failed, hurt, and even killed by invasive surgeries; laser pain management options could not have come at a better time. With over an 80% success rate on a variety of failed medical surgeries and procedures, we get our patients pain free, without addictive pain killers, muscle relaxers, other pain pills, and without any form of surgery whatsoever. Our treatments are pain free, side-effect free, and actually allow your body to stimulate blood flow, cell

repair, tissue growth—lighting the way to a healthy, pain free body. Successes in Pain Management with Laser Medicine: Laser therapy not only treats pain; it also promotes healing and gradually eliminates inflammation to help the regeneration of tissue. Medical conditions that respond well to laser therapy include tendonitis, arthritis, sprains and strains, sciatica, heel pain, knee pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, hip pain, tennis/golfer’s elbow, back pain and neck pain. Laser technology can also be highly effective in treating various skin and soft-tissue injuries – including diabetic ulcers,as well as chronic or sharp pain. Many types of laser therapy are available,

depending on the type and severity of the pain. Stop smoking! Low-level laser therapy is an application that will assist you with the cessation of your smoking addiction. The laser is applied to various points throughout your body, face and hands, which triggers neurotransmitters to release endorphins – the body’s anti-stress hormones. This release will get you through the initial physical deprivation stage when feelings of stress and nervousness are at their highest. Most people typically require one treatment to end the smoking addiction. For more information call at: 514- 244-0799 Total Pain Management, Pierrefonds 17555 Boul.

954... It seems a lifetime ago yet it was when it all started for us. That year, a group of youngsters among which we were (13 year-old Sid Stevens and 9 year-old Earl De La Perralle) got together to create the Clark Street Sun, a local community handwritten newspaper the proceeds of which were used to cover the registration fees of a few underprivileged youngsters who needed support to take part in sport activities. Over the following six decades, many individuals joined the ranks of our organization, each bringing something new and essential to the

expanding big picture. Now in 2018, Sun Youth is still standing strong, the foundations of the organization resting firmly on its dedicated staff and volunteers. If there is one thing that this past year has taught us is how fragile and ever-changing life is. Over the past 12 months, we said goodbye to precious contributors, allies and friends. These departures reminded us of the importance of planning for the future.We are happy to observe that our people are up to the challenge to ensure that we are around for many years to come so that we may continue to take care of the community which saw our organization grow

and mature. In 2017, 8500 donors allowed us to make a tremendous difference in the lives of so many underprivileged Montrealers. Additionally, 1,735 individuals provided us with 165,764 of volunteer work (the equivalent of 80 full-time jobs at 40 hours a week).We wouldn't be who we are and able to accomplish what we do without the support of these wonderful people who kindly give us their resources and their time. On behalf of Sun Youth's, Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, we would like to thank you for your unwavering support and wish everyone the best for 2018.

Eczema - There is help

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

Setting: A Friday evening. Circle Craft Show, Vancouver. A young man enters the booth.

he palm of his left hand is red, raw, open and bleeding. I have seen severely eczema-like damaged skin but nothing as extreme as this. Painful. His right hand was not a mirror image, as sometimes is a norm, but it, too, looked sensitive. In a quiet manner, he explains, “I came to Canada from India 4 years ago. I know diet and climate change can have an effect on us, but I cannot seem to get my skin under control. Especially this hand, and especially in the winter. Nothing seems to help and I am reluctant to continue using the prescribed cortisone. Someone told me that it thins the skin even more.” It turns out that this left hand is the main recipient of shampoo and the readily available, too accessible hand sanitizers out there. He agrees that perhaps the extreme use of these commercial chemicals in

the cosmetics might be irritating his situation. He had not thought of that. As we chat, I carefully apply our X Cream to his torn skin. He likes the feel and is mega happy that there is no stinging. “Feels good”, he smiles. He buys a small cream and an ESP shampoo bar, promising to clean only with the soap bar, head to toe and use nothing else but the soap and the cream for the next few days. I wish him good luck, knowing that he is on a good journey to tackling his problem. The key: No more commercial products laden with hidden folamdehype and other skin irritating ingredients that can adversely affect so many people. He had been to every doctor under the sun and he seemed happy to try something different. Sunday afternoon. He returns with friends in tow, anxious to show me his hand, grinning from ear to ear, extolling what a ‘miracle’ had occurred. “It seems surreal”, he says. “For the first time, I see new skin growing. No more bleeding, still tender but coming along. I am here to stock up on your

wonderful products. Thank you for having the passion to do truly natural products. This has been life changing for me.” He gently offers his hand.

Sticky Fingers by Joe Hagan greatest -- moments, from its breakthrough series of articles that exposed what happened at the tragic Rolling Stones free concert at Altamont in 1969 and why, to the series of articles by Hunter S. Thompson that evolved into “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, to the articles about the kidnapping ordeal of Patty Hearst, to the disastrous 10th anniversary TV special, to the lawsuit brought about by the investigative piece about the University of Virginia rape case. All of those behind the cover stories are told with plenty of excess and gory details, and makes for luridly fascinating reading that Rolling Stone itself would have gladly wrote about during its rebellious early years. And in the middle of this 50-year three-ring circus was Jann Wenner, the product of a capital “D” dysfunctional family who found a refuge in rock

music and journalism. The portrait you get of Wenner is an individual who loved the life of being a celebrity, would spend copious amounts of money to build up the prestige of Rolling Stone and his personal lifestyle (he threw large amounts of money at high profile contributors like Thompson and Richard Goodwin to produce columns and eyewitness articles for the publication, but in turn produced very little at best), at times had a low regard for value in friendships (case in point John Lennon, who didn’t speak to Wenner for a decade after he broke a promise that he wouldn’t publish in book form the monumental interviews with Lennon that originally appeared in Rolling Stone in 1970), was filled with sexual ambiguity (his marriage in name only to Jane Schindelheim and his constant quest for male lovers), and the many failed ventures he undertook to increase Rolling Stone’s presence and its monetary value (for example, the brief period of

time during the early 70s when a British version of Rolling Stone was published, which was totally funded by Mick Jagger). In fact, after reading how Jann Wenner ran Rolling Stone in such a volatile, unpredictable manner, you wonder how this magazine managed to stay in business for as long as it did. Although Hagan conducted over 240 interviews for this book and was officially approved by Wenner himself (Hagan even had access to his vast personal archives), Wenner probably regrets it after the final result. Sticky Fingers is a whirling dervish of a book about one of the most influential journalistic publications of the baby boomer era, which served as a literary keeper of the rock music flame, and the enigmatic, insecure, ego-driven man who guided it to its much revered legendary status. As Hagan writes towards the end of the book: “Jann Wenner had tried to become a great American media mogul on the order of William Randolph Hearst. For a while he was successful, but he didn’t rate himself as a businessman now. He’d been too impulsive, fired too many people, took that loan. Rolling Stone – an idea so great it survived Janno’s management.” …And 50 years later, it’s still regarded as a pinnacle of success if you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone!

generation who watched TV, listened to top 40 and FM radio, went to plenty of rock concerts and bought a lot of records. However, the story of Rolling Stone wouldn’t be complete without telling the story of its creator Jann S. Wenner. Part journalistic maverick, part aspiring media baron, part glory hound, part spendthrift, part celebrity maven and part Machiavellian figure, Wenner lived his life through Rolling Stone. This has made him a fascinating and frustrating figure to those who knew him, worked with him, or had a passing interest in him. Which is why Joe Hagan wisely decided to make his excellent – and dizzying – tome Sticky Fingers a dual biography, because both subjects go together hand-in-hand so snuggly. On the magazine side, the book highlights 50 years of Rolling Stone’s greatest – and not-so-

After World War II, the n August of 1947 India Canadian economy was was granted inde- improving, the population pendence from Eng- was growing rapidly, and land. Since all there was a need for a Canadian coins of larger output of coinage George VI had the legend to meet this. During the “GEORGIVS VI D: G: war certain coins...espeREX ET IND: cially the silver dollar, eiIMP:”...roughly translated ther had reduced as “George VI by the mintages, or were susgrace of God, King, and pended. emperor of India”, the Since a new obverse coinage all needed some die would be required to modification. No longer strike the 1948 coins, and By Michael Joffre mtltimes.ca

the matrices and punches did not arrive in time from the Royal Mint in London for minting them, the Royal Canadian Mint faced a big problem. They needed to produce coins...but could not, as they did not yet receive the new design from England. In early 1948 they came up with a clever idea. They continued to mint coins with the 1947 date so they could keep the same obverse, but to differentiate these coins from the ones actually minted in 1947, they put a small maple leaf just after the date. This would avoid confusion with actual 1947 coins. This is not the first time the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) has applied this solution. In 1937 the RCM was waiting for the master tools from London to produce the first coins of George VI after the passing of George V and abdication of Edward VIII. Since they did not arrive on time, an emergency issue of 1936 25 cents was made with a dot on the bottom of the coin showing that it was

actually coined in 1937. Although scarce, many 1936 dot 25 cents survive and it is an interesting collectible. 1936 1 and 10 cents were also made with a dot, but only a handful of specimen coins survive, as the whole mintage was remelted in mid 1937. In mid 1948 with the new design received, coins with the actual 1948 date were struck...but by this time much of the required coins were already made with the 47 maples. This explains why most Canadian coins with the 1948

date are much rarer than other years. For example a much used coin like the 10 cent...10 million were struck in 1948...but only about 4% of them with the 1948 date...the others are all 47 maples. For collectors this has created two classic rarities of the Canadian coin series. The first and most popular is the 1948 dollar of which only 18,780 were struck (consider the 1949 mintage was 672,218). Second rarity...and an extreme one at that, is the 1947 maple leaf 50 cent with the 7 curved right. As dis-

cussed in a previous article, very few survive (likely less the a couple hundred), and the coin is worth thousands of dollars in nice condition.

What is Naturopathic Medicine? An overview Sponsored

the laws of nature. • Principles • The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae) • Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam) • First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere) • Doctor as Teacher (Docere) • Treat the Whole Person • Prevention - Naturopaths emphasize disease prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions to prevent illness. Naturopathic medicine strives to create a healthy world in which humanity may thrive. By Jessica Romano, ND , for more information (514) 231-5513

S-092317-26

aturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that emphasizes prevention and the self-healing process through the use of natural therapies.While the roots of naturopathic medicine date back to the 1890s, naturopathic medicine has witnessed a rapid increase in public interest in recent years as a result of the growing consumer movement to solve the health care puzzle using prevention, wellness and respect for nature's inherent healing ability. Naturopaths blend centuries-old knowledge and a philosophy that nature is the

most effective healer with current research on health and human systems. Naturopathy focuses on identifying the underlying causes of disease, while naturopathic therapies are supported by research drawn from peerreviewed journals from many disciplines, including naturopathic medicine, conventional medicine, European complementary medicine, clinical nutrition, phytotherapy, pharmacognosy ( medicinal plants, homeopathy, psychology and spirituality. The therapeutic modalities used in naturopathy (including physical manipulation, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy and hydrotherapy) integrate conventional, scientific and empirical methodology with

I am going to snap

or several weeks now I have talked about stress and the need to decrease our stress levels. We need to learn to relax!!! There are many reasons for this need… .there is a relationship between stress and disease. When we are stressed our cortisol levels remain high. Cortisol is a hormone in the body that increases sugars in the bloodstream, increases the availability of substances that repair tissues and enhances the brain’s use of glucose.When people feel anxiety, the hypothalamus sends signals to the adrenal glands to release adrenaline and cortisol. However, when people feel a lot of day-to-day stress, the fight-or-flight reaction of the body to stress stays active, and cortisol continues to release sugars into the bloodstream. Besides heart disease, digestive problems, sleep problems, skin issues and memory problems, one of the side effects of high cortisol levels is weight gain. Many of us struggle with those extra pounds and feel particularly frustrated with the thickening around the middle. Sound familiar? Weight gain from increased cortisol levels tends to collect around the stomach area. Fat cells in the stomach are more sensitive to cortisol, and they are very effective at storing energy. Unfortunately, weight gain in the stomach area is one of the most dangerous places for the body to store fat. Stomach fat is not only unattractive, it can also lead to many serious health conditions like diabetes, metabolic syndrome and heart disease. As I have mentioned

in the past….no one talks about your stress level and not many doctors test for cortisol levels. Why not? A simple blood, urine and or saliva test will let you know how you are doing with stress. When people feel stress and anxiety on an everyday basis, the body continuously releases adrenaline and cortisol into the blood stream. Adrenaline dissipates when anxiety starts to decrease however; cortisol lingers in the body and increases the desire for people to eat more carbohydrates to compensate for physical exertion. The body is programmed to fight off stress and danger like our ancestors did with physical activity. Because people today do not physically burn off extra energy after being affected by stress, increased carbohydrate cravings and carbohydrate consumption from lingering cortisol levels usually cause weight gain. There are ways to lower cortisol levels naturally and control weight gain. Regular exercise helps to burn the extra blood sugar made available through elevated cortisol levels. Sufficient amounts of sleep help lower cortisol levels because the body’s nervous system stays in a state of alertness that requires cortisol. Getting enough sleep also increases serotonin and dopamine, which help control cravings. Stress and certain health conditions can raise cortisol levels and cause weight gain, especially around the stomach area. Keep cortisol levels down by exercising, getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet and taking supplements and vitamins that support healthy cortisol levels.

Mayo Clinic “Win control over the Stress in you Life” Pantothenic Acid (b5) is often called the anti-stress vitamin, as it is closely involved in adrenal cortex function. Adding this to your supplement regime can help the body repair from adrenal fatigue. A diet rich in lean protein, fish, monounsaturated fats and complex carbohydrates like the Mediterranean diet helps lower cortisol and reduces stomach fat. Herbs like basil and ginseng and vitamin C also help reduce cortisol and blood sugar levels. The other thing we can do is learn to recognize stress and to manage it. There is no need to be in a constant state of stress and anxiety.We all have to be aware of what stresses us and what we can do about it. Breathing, yoga and muscle relaxation exercises are a few of the methods I have talked about. The huge bonus of the Magnesphere Therapy is the relaxation effect it has on people who use it even if the session is for something else such as rotator cuff pain. I know I am harping on the topic but the old nurse in me knows how important it is to learn about this silent enemy “stress”. What motivates you to examine your own stress levels? The fear of disease because of high stress and the relationships between stress and disease? If this is too long term and uncertain then what about weight gain around your middle? or headaches and immediate effects of too much stress? poor relationships and tension in the home because family members are anxious and stressed? Think about it and more importantly, Do something about it.

Award winning Beef Stew Wine & Dining

By Chef Peter Webster of Bouquet Garni Catering

n a cold day, comfort food is needed to warm up the bones. Soups are great but nothing compares to a hot bowl of stew with a crusty baguette and butter on the side. I like to use top sirloin for my stews but the cardinal rule here is to use those cheaper cuts of meat. ( flank and blade roasts are perfect here). These cuts lend themselves beautifully to the braising process, becoming tender and flavourful as they cook in the liquid. I like to buy a large piece of meat and cut it myself rather than buying the prepackaged stewing beef. When sautéing the beef cubes, don’t overcrowd the pan. You don’t want to steam the beef, you want to brown it. INGREDIENTS:

(serves 10p) • 3 lbs of beef – cut into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes • 3 tbsp canola oil • 2 onions, peeled and diced • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed • 2carrots, peeled and chopped • 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped (optional) • 2 potatoes, washed and diced, skin on • 1/2 bulb fennel, diced • 1 lb mushrooms, washed and quartered • 1 cup red wine or beer, for deglazing • 1 litre beef stock • Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary or oregano • Salt and pepper • Red pepper flakes (optional) In a heavy based casserole, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add in some beef cubes and

Chefs Karen & Peter Webster

brown on all sides (do not overcrowd pan). Remove the browned cubes, set aside and continue browning the beef until completed using more oil as necessary. In the same pan, add the onion, carrots and parsnips stirring and cooking until tender, about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic, potatoes, mushrooms and fennel, stirring for another 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the wine or beer, scraping up any browned bits. Add the beef pack into the casserole with the stock. Add in your herbs, salt and peeper and a little of the red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer on the stove top , cover and put into the oven at 300ºF. Let the stew simmer for 2 hours minimum. Taste and adjust the seasoning, skimming any fat from the top of the stew. You can thicken the stew with some cornstarch/water mixture.

Pain is our alarm system YOUR PAIN IS A RED FLAG Sponsored

hen understanding the pain present within our bodies it is important to understand its origin. Our bodies are composed of different senses, which are responsible for alerting our brain about what is occurring both within and around us. The simplest way to understand how this all works is to think of your nervous system like an orchestra. Each musician is responsible for an individual tune, while your brain, the lead composer listens and accesses each tune to determine its composition. Although in reality the brain has multiple conductors that work together, one of these conductors is called your prefrontal cortex. Messages are constantly being transmitted to your brain. When the nerve cells communicate with one another through synapses it determines which message to transmit to your brain. Decades of pain research has determined that through this complex interaction your brain can learn to be in pain. Within your nervous system there are two important sub-systems that impact pain; the alert and

danger system (sympathetic) and the calm and healing system (parasympathetic). When the alert and danger system is activated, your heart beats faster, your muscles tighten up and blood is diverted away from digestion, reproduction and healing. Which then mobilizes your bodies’ energy storage, preparing your big muscles for combat. However, once the alert and danger sympathetic system begins to calm down and heal, your parasympathetic takes over. This system is great if you have an immediate threat that you need to respond to. However if you experience chronic pain, this can become an issue, since your levels of cortisol remains elevated, which over long periods of time contributes to amplifying the danger pain matrix. When we are under longterm modern day stress, it causes the prime muscles not to function properly and over time it becomes stiff and painful. As this is occurring, your smaller, more neglected muscles, such as those close to your spine and scull go into sleep mode. Exercising these muscles becomes crucial; meanwhile to keep your small muscles active, the help of a Chiropractor is vital! These small muscles play an essential role, as they communicate your spinal health to your brain.

If the communication becomes distorted your posture will become imbalanced which can lead to injury and consequently more pain. Chiropractic care is a proven researched method to help alleviate pain to those who suffer from a variety of symptoms including neck pain, back pain and headaches. This is because chiropractic care helps your brain understand what is occurring within, thus enabling it to turn off feelings of pain when no longer needed. Chiropractic care also changes the function in your prefrontal cortex. Nonetheless, chiropractic care has so much more to offer then just helping you with chronic pain, it provides clearer communication between your brain and body so you can function at your optimal potential! If you are suffering from chronic pain do your best to stay positive, move often, eat well, sleep well and see your family chiropractor for your nervous system check up.
