Summer road closures in greater Montreal a nightmare

T

ransport officials have been warning drivers for several years that starting in 2018 roadwork and infrastructure repairs in the Greater Montreal Area were going to escalate, with some of it well into 2020. As Summer 2018 arrives, the reality of just how much work is planned will have your wheels spinning (backwards) away from it all. Even Cote Saint-Luc Road, Van Horne and the Decarie Expressway will see major work done to repair water mains, sewers and roads - adding to the work already being done on the Turcot Interchange, the new Champlain Bridge and Bonaventure Expressway. Not a fan of Public Transit? Well, you just might become one. If you have to use your car during all the work, you might want to try using apps like Waze to navigate the roads - if the apps can keep up with all the detours and closures. Not all the exact dates and times are yet known, but we will keep you updated as it becomes available. Here is what you may NOT want to know… but really NEED to know in order to avoid the areas: DECARIE EXPRESSWAY • Southbound, between Hwy 40 and Sherbrooke St. will be having repairs done to the asphalt and see the closure of the expressway, but mostly at night. • Northbound, from July to November, there will be work on the right lanes from Saint Jacques St. and will see the closures of the Sherbrooke St. on and off ramps and the expressway will only have two lanes open. Expect major traffic jams. • Decarie Interchange, where HWY 15 and HWY 40 merge, will have ongoing maintenance work. COTE ST-LUC ROAD: *Until November • Between Decarie Blvd. and Bonavista Ave. only one lane in each direction will be open as underground infrastructure is done. VAN HORNE AVENUE: *Construction starts next week and will last two years. • Westbound, will see the closure of the avenue between Victoria Ave. and Decarie Blvd. for infrastructure repairs. Drivers can detour via Victoria and Cote St. Catherine Road. Eastbound lanes

will be open. TURCOT INTERCHANGE • Demolition will continue on the elevated Ville-Marie expressway westbound, forcing the closure of the interchange and the new expressway connecting HWY 20 to downtown in both directions on several weekends. HWY 15 northbound will remain

one lane only as demolition work continues. CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE • Between the bridge and the downtown area, work on the new bridge will see repeated closures of HWY 15. Drivers will be forced to use other bridges or the Lafontaine Tunnel. As well, work on the REM light-rail train project will see only two lanes of HWY 10 in both directions open on the south side of the bridge and will be diverted to two lanes on the service roads. Expect delays as drivers get used to the new configuration. Expect major traffic jams. HIGHWAY 40 AND HIGHWAY 13 INTERCHANGE • Maintenance work and reconstruction of the

HWY 13 Bridge crossing HWY 40 will see lane closures. *There will also be work on the bridge at Cote-Vertu Blvd. crossing over HWY 13. HIGHWAY 40 / ÎLEAUX-TOURTES BRIDGE • Asphalt work is planned between the Île-auxTourtes Bridge and Blvd. des Anciens-Combattants and there will also be maintenance work on the bridge. MERCIER BRIDGE *Two months starting at the end of June > Northbound, there will be maintenance work that will see the closure of that side of the bridge, but cars will be diverted to the Southbound side, which will be running in two directions. BONAVENTURE EXPRESSWAY > Construction work will see lane closures in both directions - three lanes North towards Montreal will be open in the morning and one lane South. ST-DENIS STREET *For two years • Between Jean-Talon St. and Jarry St., with only one lane open Northbound as major infrastructure and repair work is done. *As promised, the city will be keeping 100 parking spaces open to help businesses effected by the work. **DEUX-MONTAGNES TRAIN LINE • Due to the REM project, commuters have already seen changes to the service with weekend cancellations, but as of June 25th an additional two weekday trains in the morning and one weekday train in the evening train will also be cancelled.

Two new schools for downtown area The beautiful building of the Académie Bourget will once again be full of students

U

nlike the tendency in most American cities where their downtown areas have experienced a decline that is now difficult to reverse, Canadian cities managed to keep their central areas in reasonably good conditions. A key to preserving the city core in a safe, economically viable, and even inviting way, is to keep it livable, meaning, a place where people, including families, may feel inclined to reside. Having people living downtown means movement of people on the streets with all its economic and cultural benefits for the area. Montreal –despite some setbacks caused by different reasons ranging from city policies to the downturns of the economy in general– has managed to keep a lively downtown area. As pointed out before, having a reasonable level of residents has been an essential factor in maintaining downtown in good shape. There is one lingering problem that has

The problem has long been on the agenda of the Peter McGill Community Council which represents residents and institutions in the west end sector of downtown. Understandably, the Council has received the news that the Quebec government plans to build two elementary schools in the area with great satisfaction. "This is a big day for residents and groups in PeterMcGill, who have been advocating for a primary school downtown for many years," reads a press release issued by that Council. The organization also pointed out that "Two schools also means there will also be less distance for local children to travel in the By Sergio Martinez morning and evening, who currently attend mtltimes.ca schools in other neighbourhoods."

The other school will be built at the corner of Saint Mathieu and René Levesque, on the site of the former Grey Nuns convent now owned by Concordia University.

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.

nalists selected to go on to the next step of the Challenge. They will each receive a $250,000 grant to help develop their final proposals. The winners will be announced in the spring of 2019 - with Montreal in the category standing to win $50 million and Cote St. Luc in the category standing to win $20 million. Montreal chose to submit their project on the Focus Areas of 'Mobility' and 'Environmental Quality'. In their submission statement they write: 'The Montreal community is shaping an efficient and dynamic neighbourhood life by innovating mobility and access to food. Through a co-creation and citizen participation process, the accessibility of services and the well-being of Montrealers are increasing significantly. The City of Montreal and 36 project owners and partners are committed to take action on systemic issues of urban life, including mobility and access to food so that all Montrealers may enjoy a pleasant quality of life where their basic needs

are met. Technology will allow us offer Montrealers efficient and sustainable transportation alternatives, thus reducing automobile usage. As a result, neighbourhoods will become more enjoyable places, conducive to a rich and local way of life. An improved public transportation offering, associated with new and innovative forms of mobility (car sharing on-demand, autonomous vehicles, bike sharing, etc.) will reinforce the access to local services, most notably to food supply. As a complement to the technological dimension, transversal projects in governance and citizen engagement will ensure the responsible deployment of technologies, given that they will be derived from collective decision-making, thus preventing abuse in terms of data collection and usage.The combination of a participative and technological approach framed by innovative and

agile governance will not only concretely improve the lives of Montrealers, but will bring about profound, sustainable change

City Councillor, in a press release. Cote St. Luc chose to submit their project on the Focus Areas of 'Environmental Quality' and 'Healthy Living and Recreation'. In their submission statement they write: 'Our city will provide socially isolated seniors with confidence they can live more autonomously, secure in the knowledge that the city is looking out for their wellbeing. Spaces in nursing homes and senior residences are limited and these accommodations often cost more which may be applied to than seniors can afford. other contexts'.

vene when a problem arises. Our city offers many senior programs, but we feel it crucial to find technological ways to connect with isolated seniors. We seek to implement a comprehensive yet cost effective solution that will provide peace of mind, security, and support for those who need it. It must be easy to use and affordable. Our solution will help seniors who live alone by installing home monitoring sensors, GPS tracking, fall sensors and environmental sensors. It will use AI techniques to identify problems and share information gleaned with community, city and health services. It will allow us to know if the person living alone is okay, or not okay, and will route “situation analysis” reports to appropriate service organizations so that they can deliver timely intervention'.

whether the whole Greater Montreal area should do the same. The noise from a gaspowered leaf blower or lawn mower is not only irritating, especially when you are trying to relax outside on a nice sunny day or woken up at 8:00am on the day you finally get to sleep in - but it can also cause hearing loss with regular exposure. In fact, the sound levels of most standard machines are between 65 to 80 decibels up to 50 feet away and at 95 decibels for the person who is

A

using it - where it can result in permanent hearing loss. Not only that, commercial gas-powered machines are creating a significant amount of airpollution. They are emitting carbon monoxide, particulate matter and other substances that are harmful to people's health when they are blown up from the ground into the air. A study by the California Environmental Protection Agency shows that operating a commercial leaf blower for one hour is estimated to emit more pollution than driving a 2016 Toyota Camry for about 1,100 miles. Both Westmount and Beaconsfield are taking initiatives to put a stop to the hazards involved - and that has many commercial landscapers and gardeners scrambling to find a way to replace their gaspowered machines with electrical ones - at their own cost. Another concern several landscapers have voiced is that the electrical machines are not as powerful as their gas-powered counterparts and therefore it takes them longer to do their work and they do not do as good of a job. As well, the costs to landscapers for the changes will result in increased fees for their clients. It might seem like

a small price to pay for the benefit of people's well-being and health, but for the contractors it could prove to be a significant enough amount that they are unable to easily absorb. Another element involved is that leaf blowers should theoretically be used just for fallen leaves - and only in the autumn and then in spring once the snow melts away. Instead, many landscapers or gardeners are using them during the summer to blow away grass clippings, small rocks, dirt and debris - contributing to the noise and pollution The City of Westmount has already addressed the issue and now permits the use of

said they will be making amendments to the bylaw, as there has been 'no scientific evidence to prove such a ban is effective - or that the dogs are genetically inclined to be aggressive'. Bill 128 will still be passed with strict rules in place for dogs who are aggressive, attack a person

or cause serious injury or death - where the dog will be euthanized. And it will include many of the measures first introduced towards improving the rules for dog breeders and the 'control of dogs deemed aggressive or dangerous'. This is sure to please many dog owners, especially in Montreal, where

fter much controversy and public consultations, Public Security Minister Martin Coiteux announced that Quebec's Bill 128, proposed in April of 2017, will not be targeting pit bulls or pit bull'type' dogs with their animal control bylaw. The Security Minister

removing fallen leafs or grass clippings - by using rakes to gather everything and then putting them in bags for composting. For landscapers where time is of great importance, perhaps offering students employment during the summer would help ease the workload and not cost them a fortune. Advancements in manual lawn mowers make it possible to cut the grass quite easily and not only is it good exercise, but for some it can offer a good feeling from having accomplished the work yourself and knowing you have also helped to keep our environment clean quietly. How do you handle your yard work?

Projet Montreal already overturned the previous administration's highly controversial ban on pit bull-type dogs last December. The city had held public consultations and it is expected they will be announcing their updated animal control bylaw soon, which will be based on 'best practices while taking into consideration the well-being of animals and public safety'.

The SPCA's director for animal advocacy, Alanna Devine, was cited in a CTV report as saying, "We are happy the government is moving forward nonetheless, with provincial legislation that will address the issue of dangerous dogs without the problematic part of targeting dogs because of their breed or what they look like."

leaf blowers only between April 1st to May 1st in the spring and October 1st to December 1st in the autumn - and they are only allowed to be used from Monday to Saturday between 8:00am and 6:00pm. There is a growing movement across Canada with other cities looking to ban gas-powered machines, including Vancouver and Toronto. And it makes sense as new technology moves forward, aimed at cleaning up our environment - noise pollution included. Perhaps commercial landscapers and even residents themselves should consider the old-fashioned, yet most reliable and cost-efficient way of

Pairing Rosé wine with Pizza

efinitely, Summer is the official season for rose wine. When the days start getting longer and the temperature rises, the mind turns to signs of summer: sandals, enjoying the outdoors, and of course sipping a glass of rosé.

isted. Wine makes pizza even better than it is on its own. Just remember a few things, and you'll be fine. First, most pizza is salty, and a great wine quality to partner with salt is acidity. The same goes for the fattiness that the cheese brings. Cut it with acidity in wine. Generally speaking, rose is fruity with a moderately high acidity. White Pizzas

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca

Rose is very versatile with food. Depending on its style, it can pair well with fish, poultry, veggies and even red meat!!. For instance, you can have a chilled rose with a seafood salad or if you are like me just with pizza! Despite pizza's general humility, a wine pairing elevates it — not because wine makes meals more elegant but because wine is the best partner to food that have ever ex-

White pizzas devoid of tomato sauce with light cheese toppings go marvelously well with fragrant roses from the Southern Rhone or Provence. For instance, with a pizza with bechamel,smoked salmon and emmental cheese try the Bandol Rosé 2016 ( SAQ # 13184056, $25.75). A marvelous rosé from Provence made with Mourvedre, Grenache and Cinsault. Lovely citrus aromas such as blood orange, tangerinealln wrapped up in a delicate mantle of roasted herbs and cantaloupe. Full body and structured with a very elegant finish.

A simple pizza of fresh mozzarella and fresh rosem a r y screams for a Coteaux d'Aix-enProvence. I recently tried the Les Béatines Coteaux d'Aix en Provence rosé 2017 ( SAQ # 11232261, $20.85). A fascinating rose with bright aromas of red berries, mediterranean citrus fruit and a roasted garrigue note. Red Pizzas

Pizzas with tomato sauce need a bolder style of rose, specially if they have meat on it. If you are looking for a powerful bottle look no further than Travel in the Southern Rhone. When it comes to rosé, the wines of Travel are an odyssey to the dark side of the style, there are few roses in the world with such a deep colour. Travel only make rosé, not white or red. Only rose wine can carry the Tavel appellation designation. Many producers in the region make ends meet by making white and red wines in close by appellations that allow them, such as Lirac or

Châteauneuf-du-Pape. More full-bodied than most rosés, Grenache and Cinsault are the key grapes in Tavel, though Syrah, Mourvedre, Picpoul, Calitor, Carignan, Bourboulenc and Clairette are also allowed. There are two excellent Tavel Producers available at the SAQ to start your journey in the appellation: Domaine du Veil Aven ( SAQ # 00640193, $18.75) and Domaine De La Mordorée. ( SAQ # 12376881, $28.00). The Veil Aven is very floral with nuances and aromas of ripe red fruits and autumn leaves with a lovely spicy kick. La Mordorée is deeper and concentrated displaying notes of macerated red berries and roasted garrigue notes with a round almost oily texture.

Château de Miraval Côtes de Provence 2017. SAQ # 12296988, $22.20 Chateau Miraval Rosé is made on the estate of the Hollywood stars Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie and in partnership with Perrin Family , one of the most successful wine families in France.This Miraval Rosé

Pitt and Jolie bought the 500-hectare Miraval in 2011 for a reported $60 million. The estate spans the Côteaux Varois-en-Provence and Côtes de Provence appellations. The domaine also makes two white wines and a extra virgin olive oil. Aromas of lavender, cantaloupe with raspberries, lemon and lime zest as well. On the palate, very elegant and harmonious, almost silky like texture with floral tones of lilac and violets. Fresh with a perfumed finale.

www.mtltimes.ca

wrote the script with Harold Ramis and Brian Doyle-Murray (whose experiences as a caddy at an exclusive Illinois golf club was the inspiration for Caddyshack). Kenney, who was one of the founders of National Lampoon and was co-writer of the 1978 blockbuster “Animal House”, hoped that Caddyshack would be just as big a box office hit as Animal House. But thanks to his constantly erratic behaviour (which was fueled by a never ending supply of alcohol and drugs), Kenney lost control of the film to its producers. It reached a low point for him during the press conference for the film at Dangerfield’s comedy club in New York, following its advance screening the night before, in which Kenney appeared so drunk and antagonistic, he had to be escorted out of the club by his parents. He then went on an ill-advised vacation to Hawaii with Chevy Chase; and in August of 1980, was found dead at the bottom of a cliff of an apparent suicide. Kenney’s story in the book is quite engrossing to read, and is not only a typical story of how comedians, and people involved in comedy, end up being sad, insecure individuals, it could have easily held up as a separate book in its own right. Chris Nashawaty’s book Caddyshack is a fascinating, page-turning behindthe-scenes account of how a film production that was doomed to failure from the start evolved into a true cult classic in the annals of movie comedy. Now that’s a Cinderella story! (Flatiron Books, $37.99) June 9, 2018 •


34 consecutive year for Sun Youth's Bike Patrol! th

On May 31, 2018, 20 Sun Youth bike patrollers were sworn-in by Montreal Police Deputy Director Dominic Harvey. Photo: Joseph Munro.

n May 31st, the Sun Youth Bike Patrollers were officially sworn in at the Sun Youth building by Montreal Police (SPVM) Deputy Director Dominic Harvey.This year, 26 patrollers (including 6 teens-on-patrol) will be assigned to 9 Neighborhood Police Stations all over the Montreal Island. This public ceremony inaugurated Sun Youth's 34th annual summer Bike Patrol. The patrollers will work closely with local police stations across Montreal and the West-Island for a period of 10 weeks, starting on June 4th and finishing on August 10th, 2018. The Bike Patrol's presence on streets and bike paths and in parks and playgrounds of the Greater Montreal will emphasize a sense of

e in Believ es Miracl

safety and community. Speaking 12 different languages, this is a diverse group of young people who have an uncommon desire to work hard at bettering their community.Trained in first aid and other public safety skills, the patrollers will also deliver different seminars on public and bicycle safety, and will be a presence at festivals, community events, and fundraisers for local organizations throughout the summer. Wherever they are, they will act as the eyes and ears of the Montreal Police. This annual program would not be possible without the support of private businesses and different levels of government. The 34th Edition of the Bike Patrol is made possible by the Federal Government and NDP

MP for Outremont Thomas Mulcair, as well as the Quebec Ministry of Public Security and Jacques Chagnon, President of the National Assembly. Local businesses also make an indispensable contribution to the Bike Patrol, including Dorel Industries, who supply the durable mountain bikes used by Sun Youth's patrollers throughout the summer and GardaWorld and Projet Bolo, who generously provided this year’s uniform. Additionally, Toyota Gabriel General Director Nazih Chemali will provide the patrol with an administrative vehicle. The Sun Youth Bike Patrol is also made possible by financial support from the Gustav Levinschi Foundation.

A Mom Finally Heard

etting: Regina spring Craft Show. ‘Earth to Body’ Booth #228 A mother, holding her baby toddler, is chatting with me about her baby’s extreme eczema. She relays a scene at her doctor’s office. The Doctor: “Sabrina, if you do NOT put this recommended steroid cream on your baby, you are obviously NOT concerned about helping her with her eczema. YOU may NOT like this cream, but it is the only thing that is going to help her.” Sabrina: “But I worry about it thinning her skin. I know steroids creams do that. I had bad eczema as a child and I know she is suffering. Is there no alternative that you can suggest?” The Doctor: (pointing to his framed degree on the wall) “Look at that certificate, Sabrina. I am a doctor. I graduated from Harvard. I think I know what I am doing.” Sabrina, feeling guilty, unworthy and a bad mother, left the doctor’s office. A Mom not heard. While most caregivers do listen, some, like her doctor, prefer to pontificate. Sabrina, to date, has chosen not to fill the prescription. Not yet, anyway. She is going to try apple

By Martha Shannon salt baths, avoid all commtltimes.ca mercial creams and lo-

tions and sunscreens. She preferred a cream to oil, so she chose our X Cream, which the baby seemed to like, and the Castile moringa soap. The X cream is simple but effective and the ingredients are nutritious. Specially chosen to help with soothing itchiness and dryness, the FULL ingredient list is: Distilled water, Apricot Oil, Hemp oil, Calendula, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax, Black spruce, Patchouli, Vitamin E, Lemonseed Extract, Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) A cream, meaning a blend of water and oils, cannot be 100% natural as a wax element is necessary.We use cocoa palm. If you compare our ingredient list to a commercial cream you will be astounded at the difference. If not used daily, or finished in 3-4 months, it must be kept in the fridge. Take black spruce, for example, research its properties you will find it incredibly healing. It is from eastern Canada, here in Ontario and Quebec. The oil has cortisone like effect, without the side effects. I wish we could claim this on the label, but we are not permitted to do so. All of the ingredients in our X cream were carefully selected. People love it on

hands, feet, eyelids, ears, elbows inner and outer, dry parches anywhere and everywhere. It feels good. It satisfies. Sabrina also selected the gentle Castile Moringa soap, containing only organic olive, coconut and the miraculous moringa power. We call it: ‘A soap with nothing, that does everything’. She has plans to visit a naturopath to discuss diet. Allergy testing is on her to-do list. One’s DNA often rebels against the new age world of additives, preservatives, GMO’s, hormone injections, etc. It is so hard to identify a specific cause of a skin disorder. The tendency may be hereditary, but one still has to deal with it. We have had amazing feedback on our soaps for babies. The X cream is one of our best sellers to soothe eczema. Along with apple cider vinegar and salt baths, dry and irritated skin is nourished. This young mother is on a path she feels is best for her baby. She is listening, gathering information and making decisions. A Mom finally heard. Check out our BIOS.

health. I said I would “test the waters.” Here’s what I have learned so far. As advertised you have to first ask RAMQ for a four digit security code. I did so and it arrived by mail four or 5 days later. Good start! I then had to register in ClicSeQur on line using the four digit security code and my Health insurance card number. Done! Once registered and in your file there are four options to look for your records. Appointments, Medication, Sampling and Medical Imaging. Some of my information was there and some was missing. For example in the Appointment section there was nothing. Ap-

pointments apparently must be made with the Quebec Medical Appointment Scheduler in a participating clinic. Because it is new I can only assume lots of clinics and even hospitals are not on yet board. To be fair though it is a good start. Here comes the next concern …. The security and confidentiality of the system. Most of us do banking on line and think nothing of it until there is a breach of security as recently with the BMO. Should we be worried about our health records? I believe the internet is here to stay and we use it for everything from bank-

ing to searching for homes and recipes. Occasionally unsolicited ads for unwanted services or products pop up on our screen. Where does that come from? We really have no idea about what is out there about us but we continue to use this “can’t live without it” commodity.What is more important than our health and knowing the results of our bloodwork and Xrays? Do we take the chance and believe that the site is secure and learn how to use it and make sure that it is complete as time goes on or dismiss it? I happen to believe that being able to

www.mtltimes.ca

better manage our health by knowing results and information about ourselves outweighs the risk. In discussion with friends though there may be some who don’t want to know their results and accept their doctor’s “everything is fine” without question.This concept is foreign to me but I had to listen to that perspective. Is not knowing easier? If knowing the results makes you worry maybe better to not ask? The old nurse in me knows that people cope differently and deal with life events differently. Why would dealing with our health be any different?

Use it or not it is there. This new initiative is hopefully here to stay and will improve over time. The technology for this site will improve and more complete information will be included. We will no longer need to decipher Doctor’s writing to get information if their notes are included. They will not be hand written as they often are now. Try it. You may like it. The world is on line.Welcome to it! Comments, thoughts, questions are welcome. 514-695-3131
