Health Access Home and Nursing Care

"Home is where one starts from." -T. S. Eliot.

Home is our starting point. Most of our first experiences happen at home. First laugh. First steps. First words. In our homes we build relationships and skills that will deeply affect us for the rest of our lives. Home is the beginning; it is where we start. "There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." - Jane Austen. When you are tired, run-down, sad, lonely or sick… is there anything better than staying at home? There is something about the walls of your own home; they seem to just reach down and give you a big hug, and

tell you that everything is going to be all right.

“Home is where the heart is.” This all may

then that moving from what we have thought of as home for 40 years, is often very difficult to even contemplate let alone really do.

We at Health Access Home and Nursing Care have been providing home care for thousands of people for the past 17 years. We have worked with people who, with some support, have been able to stay home safely and happily in their own environment. Because we have witnessed so many great stories and seen how much better the quality of life for seniors can be if they are supported in their homes, I was surprised reading the article in the Gazette earlier this month saying “province pushes to move seniors out of hospital” The plan is, as the article outlined, to inject $16 million for homecare and support in the homes.

How can that be a bad move? The slant in the article was not about the seniors at all. It was to free up beds. Most people I have worked with over the years have desperately wanted to go home.

So often they have been told “you cannot go home” and have had to spend many days, weeks and even months sitting

11 Critical home inspection traps to be aware of weeks before listing your home for sale Cote St-Luc we only give classes for rhythmic gymnastics

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 • August 25, 2018

t a meeting on Monday August 20th, Montreal's City Council unanimously approved the motion put forth by Alex Norris, Chair of the Public Safety Commission, calling on the Federal government for a nationwide ban on all privately owned handguns and as-

sault weapons - making it illegal for anyone other than the military or police officers to own one.

“We want our cities and our country to be safer and banning private ownership of handguns and military-style assault rifles can help make our country safer, it’s as simple as that,” Norris said in a CTV report. “These are weapons that are principally designed to kill people. We see no reason law-abiding private citi-

zens should own them.”

On Tuesday August 21st, the Federal government begins a 3 day cabinet retreat in Nanaimo, BC and the issue of gun control is expected to be debated.

Motions coming from both Montreal and Toronto could have a significant influence on the Trudeau government to include the bans in Bill C71, which is now before Parliament and a priority on the legislative agenda for this autumn.

New Champlain Bridge completion in sight - But When?

onstruction to replace the deteriorating, 50 year old Champlain Bridge began in June of 2015, with the New Champlain Bridge expected to open 42 months later in December of 2018. But the question on many people's minds, especially those who commute by car, is whether it will be ready on time.

The project has become the hub of Montreal's traffic woes, adding to the many other badly needed infrastructure and roadwork projects taking place all over the island.

Detours, orange cones and unforeseen problems have turned the city into one big gridlock - with effects trickling down into the public transit system and even for cyclists and pedestrians. Businesses have also been greatly affected.

The consortium in charge of the project has given a completion date of this December 21st 2018.

Given the delays, it seems like a longshot at this point - but they are sticking to that date for now.

The main issue behind the potential delay stems from the illegal crane operators’ strike that took place last May and June.

Crane operators refused to work overtime, as well as on several weekend days, adding up to a total loss of 17 working days creating considerable delays to the construction schedule. But the consor-

tium may just be inclined to find a way to meet the deadline. According to their contract signed in 2015, they could receive heavy penalties up to $100,000 per day for the first seven days, and as high as $400,000 per day after a week - if the project isn’t finished by December 21st. The cost of the bridge has already increased by $235 million due to construction delays and transportation costs of heavy materials needed to build it. As it

By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca

stands now, the bridge is expected to cost $4.2 billion.

Even if the bridge opens on time, there will still be ongoing work attached to it such as: the new Autoroute 10 approach, a new Ile-des-Sœurs bridge and highway, as well as improvements to sections of Autoroute 15. And although access to the new bridge will be ready, there is also still plenty of work to be done around the Turcot Interchange and it is only expected to be

fully complete by 2020 but the opening of the new bridge will considerably ease congestion for drivers in the Cote St. Luc / NDG area.

The 3.4 km long new bridge was designed to serve as a 'gateway into the City of Montreal - an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a 168-meterhigh concrete tower and stay cables in a harp arrangement'. It will include a two-lane rail corridor for the Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM), a six lane corridor for vehicles and a multiuse corridor for cyclists and pedestrians.

The New Bridge is starting to take shape and if you have crossed the old bridge recently it is an impressive sight indeed. At the end of June, the East Approach workers finished laying the 10 Wshaped pieces, marking a very important step for the project. At the West Approach, the installation work is complete, crowning the missing piles of the steel pier caps. On July 13th, the end of the installation of the 37 pier caps on the bridge took place.

The next step will be the completion of the installation of the box girders.

You can watch a timelapse video of one of the first installations of the box girders slabs that took place over one weekend last spring from the eastern approach over Rte. 132 in Brossard at:

I

Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue sign contract with Mtl SPCA Trap-neuter-release program

am so happy to tell you that Ste-Anne's has now signed a contract with the SPCA for the "TNR'' program, (trap, neuter, release) this is not a "Trap and Kill" program, totally the opposite. The main purpose of this project is to stop the reproduction of the ferols and ultimately give them a better quality of life.

The animals, with the help of the community, are trapped early in the morning, 6:00 am and are transported to the spca, and will either be neutered or spayed. They will also receive a basic shot and will be dewormed. BIG relief for these animals. They will also come back with a "V" snipped out of the tip of one ear, this is totally painless to the animal, and it is to help us recognize the ones that have gone through the program.

They will get a shot of pain medication, because they are being released the same day, this will help get them through a little discomfort . The animals that are sick, the veterinarian will make the decision on whether they will come back or not. The cat or cats will be returned late afternoon.

The males, since the weather is warm, and do not have an open incision, will not have to be fostered. However, the females that are spayed will need time to heal, as their stomachs are shaved, we do not want infection, so they need to stay in for approx 4 or 5 days.This is a monitoring time, just to make sure they are on the right track and are eating well.

I, however do ask the people who are feeding the ferols where we trapped them, to please just keep an eye on them when they come for food.

They should be fine, but if you notice anything out of the ordinary, you can get in touch with me, and I will come and make sure the animal isn't in any kind of distress. Now that the cats have been de-

wormed, if you could continue to feed them, this will give them an opportunity to put a little fat on them before the winter.

No parasites means healthier animal. They won't need to hunt for food if we all continue to feed them.

Jade Marcoux, Customer Service Director, Montreal SPCA, and one of my go to people there, states, "TNR and Abandonment" are unfortunately linked together, and those cats left behind,are part of the over population of outdoor cats.

They often reproduce and end up in a very bad situation as they are not outdoor savvy or at least not as much as ferol cats. We are in urgent need of cities and municipalities involvement to help prevent abandonment, and support the different citizens in their needs for resources to keep their pets at home. i.e. sterilization costs, health costs, etc.

I myself am reaching out to John Abbott College and McGill, to help educate the out of town students, and students who are now renting apartments in Ste-Anne's, to please, not get kittens when they move in. I totally understand where the student's are coming from, first apartment, out on their own, let's get a pet, I'm not far from the

truth. However, do they see down the road when they graduate. I am assuming that a lot, think, cats are resilient and can just go out and catch dinner anytime they want.

Well, to some extent that is true, but on the other hand, these animals have been cared for since they were adopted, thinking they were in a forever home. They have had food and water on a regular basis, they have had love by the person who, down the road will leave them alone, and scared on the streets of Ste-Anne's.

They will be beaten by the ferols who have already claimed territory. Tell me, where doe's the resilience come into play. I would also like to remind anyone who is going to dump their animals, it is a Criminal Offense , and there are laws that are in place to protect them.

The animals that have gone through this program are doing really quite well. St.Jean Baptiste and corner of St. Thomas streets which had at least 12 ferols ,two of the females were spayed, one was actually adopted, she was actually friendly enough to readapt to domestic. The other female would have nothing to do with rehabilitation, but she lives where she grew up and is looking quite healthy.

These females alone produced many, many, kittens.

Of course a lot didn't survive, but the ones that did, went on to reproduce. Now the only cats you'll see on the corner of St.Thomas, are the males that were neutered and of course people's pets.

These animals have shelters and are fed everyday.

They can live there lives without fighting, injury, infections, and disease. The males stop spraying for territory, which really pleases a lot of people who are trying to grow nice flower gardens. So all in all everyone is happy.

I would like to thank the town council of SteAnne's, and especially Chief of Security Mr.Alain Dupuis, who with his kind heart and generosity made this project possible.

Lastly, we really need the people of Ste-Anne's to tell us if they are feeding ferols and where they are located. The ones we have already trapped are ones that we knew about, now we need help to find others because without help, these animals will

still go through a horrible winter if they don't get help. We also need volunteers to help transport the cats to the spca , we have only one driver as to date and we sure could use the help in that area.

It would only be once or twice a week as it stands right now. We will only be trapping until November, so the more we can get in before than, the better.

Please COLLAR your cats, we do not want to go through taking your cat down to the spca, just to find out it is a domestic. You can help us by identify yours. Also, we certainly could use donations of food, wet and dry, and we need shelters for these animals. I remember last winter, December was brutal, and most of these cats had no warm place to go.

It takes a lot of energy for these cats to keep warm and without food and shelter it's all most impossible to make it.

Thank you for your help.

here’s an old saying that classic movie buffs always lament, in which “they don’t make movies like that anymore.”

Although it does apply to the quality of movies that were produced and released during Hollywood’s golden age from the 1920s to the 1950s, it can also apply to the caliber of legendary actors and actresses who appeared in them. For many, those performers who graced the silver screen like Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Marilyn Monroe could be genuinely regarded as “movie stars”.

Back in 1978, David Fantle and Tom Johnson were two high school graduates from St. Paul, Minnesota who had a passion for classic movies from that golden age in Hollywood.

Rather to be just content with watching those movies on their local TV station’s late, late show and conducting special screenings at senior residences, the duo decided to take the next step and conduct interviews with as many of these surviving silver screen legends that they would publish in the student newspaper at the University of Minnesota, where they were just accepted.

With a lot of grit, determination and ambition, Fantle and Johnson persistently contacted many of these legends through numerous phone calls and carefully written letters (remember, this was way before the internet and text messaging were around to provide a major source of instantaneous personal communication). Somehow, their persistence paid off, as both Fred Astaire and

the environment and the circumstances that surrounded them during each interview were just as interesting as the subjects themselves. For a good deal of the long surviving legends who were profiled by Fantle and Johnson, it almost has a Norma Desmond/Sunset Boulevard quality to them, and are indicative of the fading glory they were experiencing, at times not realizing that their years of superstardom were way behind them or were shielded by domineering or oblivious handlers.

One sad instance of the latter was their interview with James Cagney at his Coldwater Canyon home about 40 years ago, in which they were almost rebuffed by Marge Zimmerman, Cagney’s personal assistant at the time, who was later embroiled in controversy when she was accused of leeching off Cagney for her own personal profit, which was later reported in an article in Life magazine.

Hollywood Heyday is a riveting collection of profiles that give a rather stark, humanistic look at these selected 75 Hollywood legends (both in front of and behind the screen), and how the motion picture capitol functioned in the days when the studios like MGM, Warner Bros., Paramount and Universal ruled like kings, and its stars were their loyal subjects. It’s almost like a living embodiment of Norma Desmond’s immortal line from “Sunset Boulevard”, in which these stars are still big in the hearts and minds of their fans … it’s the just the pictures that got small.

Strange phenomena in your house?

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – Is the fitness item on the Training “Menu du Jour” these days, but what is it all about?

High Intensity sounds pretty clear, but contrary to some “Boot Camp” style workout programs (Biggest Loser style-all out efforts), High Intensity should really be relative to your personal fitness level and not considered a “standard” that you must reach to participate. For example a Triathlete might be following a High Intensity Training program on any given day that seems Olympian by general standards, because their 85% of Maximum effort is by comparison to a fitness novice much more intense.

However the beginner might also be working a 85%-95% of their Maximum following a seemingly modest program. In either case it’s hard for either the Triathlete or the Novice to maintain an 85%-95% intensity for an extended period of time without “Bonking” or in other words, reaching the point of fatigue that caused the need to stop and this is where the Interval part comes in.

Interval Training is most associated with measured periods of activity of either higher and lower intensity or activity and rest. The Intervals may be of equal or varying duration. (For example 1:1 minute Work:Rest or 1 min. High Intensity:1Min .Lower Intensity).

HIIT is reflective of the latter High:Low which might run from 85%-95% at the High end to 50% at the Low end. Intensity is usually measured by heart rate response to exercise as a percentage of Maximal potential (Age predicted) Heart Rate.

So does HIIT work? Some of

the benefits are as follows; Time efficient (more activity in less time), Improvements in Cardiovascular capacity and a positive impact on both glucose metabolism and lower insulin resistance, which can also lead to positive weight-loss results.

Most exercise has a positive impact on health and fitness, so what’s different? Studies indicate that HIIT Training may be more effective than Steady State or Continuous training regarding blood vessel function and may also contribute to a greater post training recovery duration (which means more Calories burned even after the training session has finished).

To go All-Out at the higher end of your personal capacity poses a great challenge and can be gruelling. Prior to giving it all you have it is prudent to “ramp up” your training intensity a little at a time, allowing your body to accommodate to the increasing workload. This is a classic example of the Adaptation process.

HIIT is safe to do if you are medically cleared to do high intensity activity, but prudence is the overriding factor. There are a handful of different HIIT formula that you can follow, to experience the benefits we’ve described. 2:1 Ratio – e.g. 30-40 sec. run:15-20 sec. Walking, 20 sec. Very High Intensity:10 sec.

Rest. These various interval ratio’s are repeated for a set period of time or Maximum sets of the training protocol. A real beginner might follow a High Intensity:Rest Interval with perhaps a longer warm-up period.

Keep in mind that pure strength training might still be a better way to build muscle tissue, than HIIT Interval Training, BUT there is very strong evidence that HIIT training is at the very least a great tool in the “Workout” shed.

Always be sure to move into a new exercise program with a conservative approach, rather than to “jump” into something “over your head”. If you’re in it for the long-haul, take your progressions step-by-step, as long as you’re making some headway, you’re making progress and that means you’re on the right track.

Marvelous Mushrooms

M

y friend Kika was born in Poland, a place where mushroom hunting is a beloved pastime. She has lived most of her life in Canada

By Natalie Lavers mtltimes.ca

but has learned foraging skills from her mom who takes her out this time of year when foraging is at its best. Kika has been posting pictures from her ventures out in the woods and I am, quite frankly, so jealous of her basketfuls of chanterelles

• • • • • • • • •

and lobster mushrooms!

Even if we can identify many mushrooms, it is best not to pick them for consumption.

In the world of mushroom hunting, newbies are cautioned not to pick without the guidance of an expert-it is too easy to mistake an edible mushroom for a poisonous one.

Some delicious varieties found in Quebec are chanterelles, morels, chicken of the woods, and boletes among many others. Each mushroom has its own health profile but one nutrient common amongst most varieties is vitamin D, a vitamin that is hard to get from diet alone. Other important nutrients from mushrooms include B-vitamins, copper, phosphorus and zinc. In Chinese medicine, mushrooms are highly valued for their health supportive properties, and in the West, certain extracts are now being looked at as possible cancer therapies. There’s a lot to these fungi!

Fortunately, even if we don’t have a Polish

mother to take us out on a hunt, there are tours that can be done all over the country, and even right here in Montreal.

Since late summer is the best time for mushroom hunting, seize the day and do a tour close to Montreal with the Mycoboutique. Or if you want to enjoy a variety of mushrooms without much effort, you can find them at specialty stores or farmer’s markets.

Risotto is a deeply rich and flavourful dish and adding a variety of mushrooms just takes it to a whole new level! Even if you don’t have access to a variety of mushroom you can use crmini mushrooms and add some dried porcinis.

Natalie Lavers is a health and wellness consultant in Montreal. She offers advice on using food and stress reduction techniques to support proper digestion and optimal health. Find out more about her and get more recipes at: www.lavienourrie.com

Kika’s Mushroom Risotto 3 cups of a variety of mushrooms 4 tbsp of olive oil 4 scallions, sliced, whites only ¾ cup of white wine Salt and pepper (to taste) 1 ½ cups of Arborio rice 6 cups of broth (chicken, beef) ¼- ½ cup of grated parmesan (optional) Chives or flat-leaf parsley as garnishing

Directions:

Using a large frying pan, sauté scallions and mushrooms on medium-low.

Meanwhile, heat broth so that it is hot but not boiling. When the scallions and the mushrooms are soft, add white wine, salt, pepper, and rice and stir gently altogether. When most of the wine has been absorbed or evaporated, using a ladle, add a scoop of broth, give a few stirs and once the liquid is absorbed, stir it again and add more broth. Continue this process until the risotto is al dente (about 20 minutes), staying close to the stove so that the rice does not brown on the bottom. Blend in your parmesan and serve immediately with garnishing.

What is osteopathy?

The practice of balancing and correcting problems relating to the musculoskeletal system, relieving pain, and encouraging the body to heal itself. When the bones, joints and muscles are not working harmoniously, other systems of the body begin to stop functioning smoothly.

Osteopathic philosophy contends that the body is capable of healing itself, but only when the musculoskeletal system is properly aligned. An osteopath manipulates and applies pressure to the affected part of the body to release stress and tension.

Osteopathy also works on organs and other bones within the body, improving posture, relieving pain and promoting a well-functioning body.

Unlike some other therapies, osteopathy does not stop at the spine as the main source of pain and disease, searching not only the entire body for the source of any ailments, but external influences as well, such as stress, depression, etc.

The osteopathic approach includes various techniques as well as the evaluation and analysis to identify primary areas of dysfunction. It IS a form of drug-free noninvasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine by using corrective techniques. Its aim is to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

What does an osteopathic practitioner treat?

Osteopaths treat a variety of common conditions including: Acute and Chronic Spinal pain, Knee pain, Lower back pain, Headaches/Migraines, Asthma, Disc injuries, Osteoarthritis, Joint pain, Postural complains, Whiplash, accident trauma and much more.

Cold Laser Therapy Low-level laser therapy is used to help heal wounds and to treat many of types of musculoskeletal injuries and disorders including back pain caused by lower

back strain, herniated discs, fibromyalgia, etc.

Low power laser is quickly becoming the first line of attack in pain control and tissue healing. It is safe, painless and quick with fast results.

When laser light interacts with tissue, it causes certain photochemical reactions to occur, and stimulates natural biological processes.

Many of these reactions have beneficial effects on the body, which help to control pain and accelerate healing. The mechanism behind low level laser therapy (LLLT) is biostimulation.

Laser therapy has been valuable in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including patients suffering acute, chronic, or post operative pain.

Low power lasers do not generate heat; therefore, when the laser contacts the skin the patient experiences no warmth or burning. Although the light may stimulate certain nerves, most people feel nothing during the treatment.

The Most Affective Method to use cold lasers is in conjunction with Osteopathic Treatment.

What Can Cold Laser Therapy Treat?Cold Laser Therapy is great for treating any type of acute or chronic inflammatory condition.

Some examples are listed below.

• Tendonitis • Tennis or Golfers Elbow • Tendonitis • Strains & Sprains • Wound Healing • Achilles Tendonitis • Heel Spurs • Back Pain • Frozen Shoulder • Plantar Fasciitis • Knee Pain • Headaches, Neck Pain • Shingles • Low back and Sciatic pain • Arthritis • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome And many more...

Cold laser therapy is becoming a revolution in health sciences.With it, you can give yourself treatment to a great deal of health problems without medication or side effects.

“In the lab we work with test tubes and not with patients. Volunteering with Parkinson Canada gives me a chance to interact with the people I’m doing research for and SuperWalk gives me an opportunity to contribute to raising funds for research.” says Marisa.

“It is fun and very rewarding,” she adds.

Parkinson’s affects over 100,000 Canadians, a number expected to double by 2030. Parkinson SuperWalk is a family outing with a special purpose. It is a great opportunity for people with Parkinson’s to meet others living with the disease, talk with their families, and begin to build a supportive network. Funds raised are invested in Quebec to provide services, education and advocacy for people affected by Parkinson’s and for research into improving treatments and finding a cure.

Absolutely Natural "Thank you, Earth to Body, for making products that are ACTUALLY natural!"

By Tara Shannon Montreal Times

e hear this all the time from our customers.

You are frustrated with the marketing out there.

You so diligently inspect the label in the store.You see the 'all natural', 'organic' inscribed on products. You purchase what you think is safe for yourself and your family, only to get home after a long day, kick your feet up and inspect further.The ingredient list, in fact, contains chemicals! You do your research. Some sites claim these chemicals are safe, non-irritating, nonallergenic, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic ... but you dig further. You read about the side effects of synthetics, alcohol, thickening agents, parfumes and wonder... Is this really safe?

Can we not trust an industry that has regulations and restrictions on labeling?... an industry that assures us these products are safe, yet our skin gets irritated. We have allergic reactions, and who knows what other side effects we experience without connecting it to our products?

All cosmetic companies here in Canada do have to follow mandatory labeling guidelines. How-

ever, if a small amount of a certain ingredient is present it may not have to be identified on the label. The lines are blurry.

A company might claim ‘all natural’ because ingredients do come from natural sources, but once extracted and altered they can be toxic.

Here are a few chemicals we found in skincare that claims to be "natural".Their possible toxic reactions can occur through inhalation, skin exposure and ingestion.

Phenoxyethanol: skin and lung irritation, toxic to the kidneys, nervous system, liver, organ damage.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate: developmental /reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, organ system toxicity Sodium Sterol Lactylate (SSL): itching, swelling, mucus production, muscle spasms, hives and rash formation Parfume: eczema, panic attacks or develop major depressive disorder And this was in a BABY lotion!

Why risk slathering these on your baby? Unfortunately, we could list pages and pages of other poisons found in products that claim they are natural and safe. It isn't a fair world out there, but don't worry... you have us.
