HERE WE GO AGAIN! By: Bonnie Wurst - mtltimes.ca

Mayor Valérie Plante has announced she is ready to talk baseball. She is scheduled to meet with baseball promoters Stephen Bronfman and Mitch Garber to discuss how to move forward and the possibility of bringing a team back to Montreal. This comes on the heels of her well-noted absence by baseball fans at last week’s exhibition games at the Olympic Stadium between the Blue Jays and the Cardinals - but some members of her team did, and they took

part in preliminary discussions with Bronfman and Garber. Last week Bronfman said he had 'no intention of seeking money from Montreal taxpayers, but he does need help from Plante'. During the election campaign, Plante said she would hold a referendum to consult Montrealers first, as she refused to spend taxpayers’ money on a new baseball stadium without doing so - and the fact Bronfman was not looking for cash appears to be what has prompted her to move forward.

Plante is ready to listen, but there is no question right now of offering land to the promoters for a new baseball stadium. Although the previous administration was very keen on bringing baseball back, they were unable to settle on a site for a new stadium. This also comes on the heels of the passing of Rusty Staub 'Le Grand Orange' last week - which brought Montreal baseball fans together, reminiscing about the Expos and inspiring the cries to bring baseball back to this city.

Latino movies are back in town

"A Fantastic Woman" recent Oscar-winner for best foreign-language movie will also be screened

he ninth edition of the Latin American Film Festival is underway at the Cinema du Parc (3575 Park Ave.). The festival started April 6 and continues until Sunday, April 15. The opening movie was "Chavela" directed by

best foreign language movie, "Una mujer fantástica" by Sebastian Lelio (Chile, FST) will also be presented. The following is what Roland Smith, director of the festival, told us in an interview: Montreal Times: What is the importance of this event for Montreal? Roland Smith: It is important that Montreal has a Latin American and Iberian film festival. There are fewer and fewer Spanish language films being shown in the province of Quebec, and although this festival doesn't replace regular runs of films in theatres, it keeps the flame lit. MT: It is interesting that By Sergio Martinez you're showing "Cannabis in Uruguay," as we know, the mtltimes.ca first country to legalize marCatherine Gund and ijuana.

guage. It is his best film to date; it was important to bring it back to the Montreal audience. Of course, he won the Oscar for best film for "The Shape of Water" and also the best director award for the same film, but it was an American film in English. What is also important is that he is the third Mexican director to win Best Director at the Oscars in four years, this is why we do this homage. MT: Plans for the future? RS: For the tenth edition we plan to move the festival into a non-profit company, we are planning a bigger two-week event with many Canadian premieres with their filmmakers present. Thus we need a larger budget, which means getting grants from all levels of governments.We will also hire publicists to bring in sponsors; we never had any of these, it is important to be more competitive with the other Montreal festivals. We are doing well; we will do better with a board of directors in a non-profit organization. For detailed information about schedules, film descriptions, and ticket prices, visit:

The Montreal Greek Film Festival dovetailed its calendar with Greek holidays for the 6th year in a row. The MGFF prides itself on showcasing the best of Greek contemporary cinema covering the full range of drama, comedy, suspense, and documentary in both features and short films.

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

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. To help you learn more about this program and how it can make your move less stressful, a FREE special report has been prepared entitled "How to Avoid Getting Stuck with Two Homes".

This way the community could more readily fund and coordinate the venture in partnership with different levels of government. "Long term we would like to have a 'Greek Week' where we

would combine art, culture, the parade, food, everything. It's been discussed - a nice 10 day event like Italian Week." As it is Caoussias brings over singers and other theatrical performers from Greece year-round to entertain the locals.

"We have a lot of folklore and dance troupes," he says. "Films are another type of cultural event being developed," he says noting the social infrastructure is already there to make the big tent idea a reality.

cos de Montréal unfurl francophone music in all its dizzying diversity: major names and emerging artists, from hip-hop to chanson to rock, pop, electronica and folk." The FrancoFolies is, of course, a good opportunity for Anglophones and people from linguistic groups other than the Frenchspeaking majority, to get in touch with the French language in a far more fun and pleasant manner than what some bureaucrats would like. One of this festival's most interesting

points, especially for those more inclined to know about the cultural diversity of this country, is that it provides a variety of musical expressions in French. This phenomenon allows, on the one hand, to discover specific, distinct elements of the French culture especially in Quebec, while at the same time to appreciate the adaptations to their language that Francophone artists make of music genres and styles originated in other languages. For example, hip-hop rap,

or Caribbean rhythms, adding new expressive dimensions to them. The lineup for this year's FrancoFolies includes a good number of Quebec and French stars: Roch Voisine, an icon of the local music scene will be at the Cinquième Salle of Place des Arts from June 8 to 10. Mara Tremblay and her rock-style music will be performing at the Astral, on June 15. Roxane Bruneau, after her successful album "Dysphorie," will be delighting her fans at Club Soda on June

13. Claude Dubois will be celebrating his 50-year career performing his most celebrating themes at Theatre Maisonneuve on June 9. Another 50th anniversary will be that of French composer André Mathieu; the FrancoFolies will pay tribute to him with a special show called "L'événement 50e d'André Mathieu" with Alain Lefèvre celebrating the great composer featuring the Orchestre de la Francophonie, conducted by Jean-Philippe Tremblay, with guests Diane Dufresne, Marc Labrèche and Catherine Major. This show will take place at the Maison symphonique, on June 14 at 8 p.m.

Sun Youth Football launches Crowdfunding Campaign! Healing Power of Cold Laser

F Through the Sun Youth Football program, the lives of thousands of young Montrealers have been positively affected.

www.gofundme.com/sunyouthfootball gives them a challenge to live up to, while also teaching them lessons that carry through their educational and professional careers. The opportunity to see our players mature and go on to bigger and better things makes volunteering here a rewarding experience, and we hope to see donors to this campaign experience the same satisfaction throughout the year.” Sid Stevens, Executive Vice-President and a CoFounder of Sun Youth, is also excited to see this new initiative take hold. “ With this new fundraising channel, we hope to give our players an added boost that allows them to stay focused and disciplined even when the football season may not be in full swing!”. Mr. Stevens is also conscious of the importance the football program has held to fellow Sun Youth CoFounder Earl De La Perralle, longtime

administrator of Sun Youth’s sports programs and Head Coach of Sun Youth’s Midget Football teams. “Earl was always driven by a desire to see kids achieve more in life because of the lessons they learned through football, whether that’s in attending university, finding a meaningful career or otherwise. If this program is able to support our player’s activities throughout the year, I believe he’ll only be more proud of what they can accomplish and grow to become.” As for the Sun Youth Football coaching staff they were named Personality of the Week by La Presse in November 2017, a testament to their outstanding commitment towards the kids. Please view Sun Youth’s video on the crowdfunding campaign on YouTube or visit www.gofundme.com/sunyouthfootball to learn more about this effort.

The set goal of the program is $2500 dollars, which will go towards facilities access, spring practice and better equipment and tools that will allow players to learn the discipline of year-round training as they apply lessons from football in the pursuit of higher education. Dimitrios Manolopoulos, Head Coach of the Sun Youth Hornets Midget Football Team, is excited at the prospect of this broad-based community initiative: “Everyone who’s coached here and/or played here understands the benefits that this program provides the community.

Guinness Greetings Check your municipality for household hazardous drop-off on the Skin T

oting a beer into the shower may not be on everyone’s agenda, but perhaps it should be. Not to drink necessarily, but to cleanse and nourish the skin. We love our Guinness soap, called Irish Stout Oatmeal Soap. Not only is it great as a body and face soap, but it also serves well as a shampoo for the hair. Beer and especially Guinness, contains natural anti-oxidants*, making the hair softer and more voluminous. When we make our beer soap, it is necessary to allow the beer to become

flat before mixing. Same idea, if you wish to rinse your hair with the pure Guinness, it should sit for an hour or so before using. You can wash as usual and then rinse with warm water and beer. Since beer contains B vitamins, hops, saccharides and yeast, it acts as a natural moisturizer. After cleansing with the Guinness soap, some people do not need to moisturize, or at least need less. Beer helps clear the skin of acne. The brewer’s yeast in Guinness will attack the acneic bacteria on the skin and reduce the oily secretion from the sebaceous glands. Beer not only clears the complexion, it also treats dryness and smoothes the

skin texture. Beer would be a wonderful addition to our popular Clay Neem facial mask. Once again, if you do not wish to invest in the actual beer, try our Guinness soap! •a substance such as vitamin C or E that removes potentially damaging oxidizing agents in a living organism.

Montrealers Can Watch HDTV for Free with Mario's HD Bunny Advetorial

hen Canada made the transition to digital television back in the summer of 2011, people were told they would no longer be able to pick up local analog TV signals. Many Montrealers, especially seniors, understood it to mean they would need to start paying for cable in order for them to watch any TV at all. But there’s a little secret no cable or satellite TV provider wants the public to know much about. It is free,

over the air high definition TV - and Mario Trottier, a TV signal specialist knows how to make it happen. Two years ago he designed a digital antenna, exclusive to Montreal, called the 'HD Bunny'. It is a rabbit-ear digital HD antenna constructed to point at all the HDTV broadcast towers serving Montreal at the same time, maximizing the number of channels his customers are able to receive. He also installs his customized equipment, a antennas using special spectrum analyzer that determines exactly where the broadcast towers are in relation to his customer’s homes. It is saving people significant money, while offering access to some of the most popular HDTV channels. All that you need to have in place is a flat screen TV not older than 8 years - and if not, a digital HDTV recorder will work and can be purchased for around $65 dollars. Most people have no idea all the major U.S. networks (CBS, NBC, PBS, ABC and FOX) are available to them for free, nor that they do not need a

cable or satellite subscription to watch local stations like CFCF 12, CBC, Global or TVA anymore. In addition, there are several free HD channels devoted to news, sports, weather and movies which are only available over the air. Mario's HD Bunny is a special Tri-Directional antenna - manufactured for the Montreal area. There are 3 different transmitter sites: Mount Royal, Mount Mansfield near Burlington & Lyon Mountain near Plattsburgh. Montrealers across the island can receive free signals for just about all the 22 HDTV channels currently accessible - with more soon to

come. Just depending on the terrain and obstacles, you may not get all them all. For example, if you live in Outremont, Mount Royal will block the signal from Burlington. Mario is a satellite and terrestrial TV signal specialist - and very well qualified in this area. He is considered an 'expert’s expert' when it comes to television. For over 30 years he’s been serving Montrealers by building &

installing their satellite systems, closed circuit TV networks, antenna towers and pretty well everything and anything TV-related all through his company Mario Trottier Services Techniques. For more information or any questions you may have concerning installation and the antenna, please feel free to contact Mario. 514-400-2159 www.watchHDfree.com

Despite this, heavy machinery is still active in the area.” Coutu, whose allies are fighting Technoparc management in court, is buoyed by recent events. On March 29, Montreal mayor Valerie Plante announced that the city is taking over administration of Technoparc, a nonprofit group that will nonetheless receive $2.6 million in municipal funding this year. Technoparc management has been criticized by Montreal's Auditor General for numerous By John Symon governance and accountability issues.This involves mtltimes.ca alleged lack of transreport some 36 species parency, over-paying its including Red-Shouldered executives, and under-esHawks, Wood Ducks, timating the value of land Green-Winged Teals, and near stations for the prothe American Woodcock. posed Reseau express (REM) “We are trying to make metropolitain the public aware that train.

cutting, draining of wetlands, dynamiting, and major earth-moving work in an area where birds are very sensitive to human presence. After the construction period, there will be fast trains every six to 12 minutes for 20 hours a day, traversing an area where many birds fly low to escape predators.” In early 2017, Technoparc completed a dyke “to stabilize water levels” in one of the marshes there. Coutu is skeptical that this was merely a camouflaged ef-

fort to drain a wetland and eventually turn it into a parking lot. That year, a small marsh dried up in during a year of record rainfall and severe flooding in many other areas. Coutu suspects that the drained water was diverted into nearby Bertrand Creek. The marsh that dried up in 2017 used to be home to rare birds such as Soras and Hooded Mergansers; they have not nested here since 2016. Coutu points to declining populations of many other species of birds in the general area, including Black Crowned Night Herons, Green Herons, and Grebes. The popula-

Coutu is not against the Eco-Campus project per se, but simply wants to see it built elsewhere and not in a marsh. Neil Whitehouse of the Westmount Park United Church, who also helped organize the event, refused to take credit for how the rain clouds blew away on Friday morning. Besides helping to preserve the Technoparc wetlands and woods, his church is affiliated with many environmental actions, such as monthly environmental discussions called “Climate Cafes.”

Why we drink wine in a special glass

or sure, this is a common question that every winelover has asked themselves. Wine, like the universal alcoholic beverage, generally speaking is

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca

drank out of a glass..As far as i know until the end of days, it will always be served like that. But, if you want to understand why wine is served like that, keep reading and you will understand. Much has been written and researched about this topic which goes back to beginning of the XX century. The wine glass is the vessel by excellence to drink wine because it permits the drinker to appreciate better its qualities.

How is this possible?. The glass in itself, do not change the flavor of wine but it affect the perceptions of the wine flavors itself.The Oxford Companion to wine recommends that each wine or grape must have their own wine glass. I frankly, don't bother. I keep one glass for white and one for red. However, if you have a special wine or favorite wine, it is nice to invest in a more expensive glass.

In fact, the choices are so numerous that you’re probably wondering whether you need a wine glass for every type of wine you drink. The short and simple answer is no. While many will try and convince you that by using the perfect type of glassware for a certain type of wine you will be improving the drinking experience, I have to disagree. A glass of wine is going to taste just as good in a glass created specifically

Wines of the week

for that wine as it will in a tumbler. The wine is what matters, not the glass. So why are there so many different kinds of glassware out there? Plain marketing. In 1973, Claus Riedel of the Riedel glassware company was exploring a way to sell more wine glasses, and he came up with an ingenious ideal way to do so: the Riedel Sommelier series.The initial series consisted of ten glasses of different shapes that were each said to be the perfect glassware for a certain type of wine.

According to Riedel, the specific shape of the glass would help a wine drinker in picking up every aroma of the wine, and that shape would also direct the wine to the exact part of your mouth that would allow you to taste that wine best. After releasing the glasses, sales went to the roof. However, in 2004, the sky went to shambles. An article in Gourmet Magazine reported the findings of different research centers across Europe and the U.S. It was implied that Riedel’s claims were

non scientifically based.. According to Linda Bartoshuk of Yale University, “Your brain doesn’t care where taste is coming from in your mouth, and researchers have known this for thirty years.” So while all of Riedel’s glasses may be pretty, you certainly are not improving your tasting experience any better simply because you are using a Pinot Noir glass to drink Pinot Noir, instead of your standard wine glass. So the conclusion? Save yourself the anxiety and keep your money to buy more wine instead.. It’s my belief that every home really just needs two sets of wine glasses: a set of sparkling wine flutes and a set of all-purpose glasses that are great for both red and white. These are the true universal wine glasses. No matter the glass you choose to buy, the ones that are best are ones that have stems.A wine glass with a stem is ideal for tasting and serving wine more formally.This is because the stem protects your hand from the bulb of the glass, which would warm the wine. It also makes it much easier to swirl the wine when you initially taste it, and more fun to clink the glass for a cheers!

The "King" of Canadian Coins Canadian 50 Cents 1921

a post-war depression began to set in, the public demand for silver coinage declined considerably. That was especially for large denominations like the fifty cent piece. Mint records show that more than 200,000 fifty cent coins were struck in 1921 despite the lack of demand for them. Reasons for their production are unknown, although researchers have suggested they were made so visitors to the Mint could acquire an example if they so desired. Between 1921 and 1929, only 28,000 fifty

cent pieces were distributed, virtually all of them dated 1920. The 1921 pieces sat in storage until 1929, when the need for fifty cent coins began to pick up. By then Mint personnel had two options. They could release the large holdings of fifty cent pieces from previous years or strike new coins. They figured the public might be suspicious if the coins they demanded in 1929 were all back-dated by nearly a decade. In response, the Mint melted nearly half a million fifty

cent coins, using the silver to strike new 1929 fifty cent pieces. Nearly the entire mintage of 1921 was destroyed in the process. The estimated survival rate for the 1921 has remained consistent over the years. Between 50 and 100 pieces are believed extant. Examples survive in a wide range of conditions, from heavily circulated to perfect mint condition. The finest known pieces were likely set aside by Mint employees aware of the impending rarity of the 1921. Today, even low-grade specimens realize tens of thousands of dollars at auction, and the finest representative has brought more than

$300,000. While there are rarer Canadian coins in the absolute sense, none match the storied history of the 1921 fifty cent. Its legacy as the “King of Canadian Coins” makes it a true piece of numismatic royalty, one that will continue to reign for years to come.

Mindfulness boosts your awareness of how you interpret and react to what's happening in your mind. It increases the gap between emotional impulse and action, allowing you to do what Buddhists call recognizing the spark before the flame. Focusing on the present reboots your mind so you can respond thoughtfully rather than automatically. Instead of lashing out in anger, backing down in fear, or mindlessly indulging a By Donna Byrne passing craving, you get the opportunity to say to mtltimes.ca yourself, "This is the emotion I'm feeling.

what's happening right now, you are in the present moment. Try to see if you can concentrate on your breathing and be somewhere else. It can’t happen. Another tip for today is If something is bothering you, move toward it rather than away from it. Accept it.We all have pain in our lives, whether it's the ex we still long for, the jackhammer blasting across the street, or the sudden wave of anxiety when we get up to give a speech. If we let them, such irritants can distract us from the enjoyment of life. Paradoxically, the obvious response to focus on the problem in order to combat and overcome it—often makes it worse, argues Stephen Hayes, a psychologist at the University of Nevada. The mind's natural tendency when faced with pain is to attempt to avoid it by trying to resist unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and sensations. When we lose a love, for instance, we fight our feelings of sadness. As we get older, we work hard to recapture our youth. When we're sitting in the dentist's chair waiting for a painful root canal, we wish we were anywhere but there. But in many cases, negative
