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 • October 27, 2018
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.

CDN / NDG receives new trees after microburst storm
T
CDN / NDG Mayor Sue Montgomer planting a oak bicolor tree
he Mayor of the Côte-des-NeigesNotre-Dame-deGrâce Borough, Mrs. Sue Montgomery, proceeded this morning with the planting of the first tree of the new arboretum of Notre-Damede-Grâce Park, an oak bicolor (Quercus bicolor 'American dream'). The arboretum is designed to upgrade the devastated park in August 2017. On August 22, 2017, within minutes, a microburst hit the NotreDame-de-Grâce area. Incidentally, she struck
down a large part of the southern portion of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Park. More than 45 trees, mainly maple trees, were cut down following this storm. As the landscape has changed considerably since then, tree planting has become a priority. Already at that time, work was planned to continue the redevelopment of the trails surrounding Place de Vimy.This disaster then became an opportunity to use the ravaged space to create an arboretum. "It's also to echo Vimy Place and the history that
surrounds it that three Vimy oaks will be planted around the three main trails. These Vimy oaks come from oak acorns taken from the battlefield at Vimy in 1917 and reported by a soldier on his farm in Ontario, "said Mayor Montgomery. "In a few days, 81 new trees will have been planted to restore life and beauty to this park cherished by so many citizens. This arboretum is created to celebrate the neighborhood's arboreal heritage, "concluded Sue Montgomery.

Premier showing of “First Man” movie in Montreal
n Friday, October 12, approximately 250 suppliers to the bustling Montreal aerospace community gathered at the Colossus de Laval theater and entertainment complex for a premier showing of “First Man,” the new movie which traces the history of the first moon landing in 1969. The film focuses on the life of Neil Armstrong, the American astronaut who took that “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” This event was sponsored jointly by Maya HTT and Siemens PLM, partners in service to the aerospace industry in Montreal. Hosting the event was Ms. Rita Azrak, marketing director for Maya, who began the
technical presentation portion of the day by musing that the actual “first foot” on the moon was Canadian, as the landing leg cones on the lunar excursion module Eagle were fabricated in Canada, a comment which aroused the crowd’s enthusiasm. The three main speakers gave insights on their companies’ involvement in the industry and were quite optimistic for the future, as funding for renewed space exploration by both Canada and America is in the works with the respective countries’ governments. Before the first speaker, a recorded message was shown from the first Canadian astronaut, Marc Garneau, now Minister of Transport in Canada and a veteran of three flights

You must take charge of your own health
Y
starting with keeping your own health records
ears ago I wrote about the need to keep a copy of your own health records. People should take charge of their own health. Records are about you and your health. It used to be that doctors were reluctant to give chart information to patients. Nurses were not allowed to tell patients their results or talk to them about them until a doctor had done so. How archaic! More and more we hear about how to be healthy, what food to eat and what to avoid in the latest trends. It is all very confusing but the one thing that is clear are the results of tests done once we feel ill or get older. These measures are not good enough but are a start. At least we can get a baseline from which to expand or make changes to improve. We can only do this if we have the findings and learn how to read them. What does a high blood sugar mean? What causes it and what can we do to lower it? What does Hypertension or high blood pressure mean? How can we lower it? What does high creatinine mean about kidney function? How can we look after our kidneys? And on and on……. There has been talk about Electronic health records for years but because health care is a provincial jurisdiction not all provinces approach the subject in the same way. It is amazing to me that they cannot come to some agreement that electronic records are important and the use of technology can make talk a reality.

Why come up with so many different solutions and why take so long to do so?
By Donna Byrne mtltimes.ca
Finally Quebec has come up with a plan. Health Minister Gaétan Barrette announced that Quebecers will soon be able to consult their entire medical files online using a password-protected portal. The new service will allow patients to access information such as prescription history, blood test results and medical imaging reports. He said “it would be like having an online bank account for your health.” This is a great start to taking charge of your own health! It is supposedly available this week. I will be checking it out and continue to follow as it evolves so stay posted. It is called “Carnet Sante
Quebec” and will be available on computers, tablets and smart phones. This on line service is to be simple, safe, secure and free. As of September we will be able to see how much our doctor has billed for each procedure and medical intervention.We really take our health care system for granted and believe that it is free. Knowing how much it costs of our tax dollars is a great step toward understanding our system and realizing that it is not free! For example, an operation will be broken down by cost of surgery, cost of hospitalization,cost of staff for that hospitalization and medications related to that stay. Eventually we will be able to book an appointment using our portal. To get started we have to request a security code from the RAMQ and then register. I will do this for myself and feel free to call me for information as I test the waters. Comments, questions are welcome. Please see the ad below. Please see ad below. Call 514 695-3131

as the valuable contribution the building has made to the Montreal landscape. The Sun Life executives for their part emphasized the historical importance of the building as well as its current relevance, in particular, they told us how the structure has been adapted to the new demands regarding energy efficiency. “This is the first centenary building to achieve the silver certification” they remarked. In fact, the Sun Life Building has been given many important awards in recent years. The Boma Award, Historical Building of the Year in 2012. In 2013 the Commercial Heritage Award. In 2014 the LEED Silver Certification in the Category of Existing Buildings – Operations and Maintenance, in 2015 the BOMA Award Best Customer Service, and this year the 2018 TOBY Award, Historical Building of the Year, the Wired Score, which is a prize for connectivity, and the BOMA BEST Platinum Award for environmental performance. Beyond the distinctions awarded to this significant landscape in downtown Montreal, what is perhaps
Vaults very similar to these safely kept British foreign marketable securities during World War II the most important is all the history that`s hidden within the walls of this neoclassic structure situated in front of Dorchester Square and facing the Mary Queen of the
World Cathedral on its south side. At the peak of its operations when the central wing of the building was added in 1933, it could accommodate 10,000 people. As new
technologies were introduced, the workforce started to be reduced. One significant stage in the operations of the company was the acquisition of its first computer
in 1958, a Univac which needed a space of 22 thousand sq. feet! Comparatively, the operating capacity of a smartphone today is a thousand times that of the company`s
first computer. As the company`s workforce diminished, parts of the building started to be rented out, a trend that continues until today.

My Father’s Store and Other Stories by Mary Ann Lichacz-Karwatsky Book Reviews
S
tories of the immigrant experience to North America over the past 175 years – no matter what country of origin these newcomers arrived from – are always fascinating and inspiring. Basically, it’s leaving one’s homeland to escape hardship or oppression, and arrive either in the U.S. or Canada for a new life. And through hard work, determination and conquering many obstacles, that dream of a better life in a new place becomes a reality. That’s the case with Mary Ann LichaczKarawatsky, a retired guidance counsellor with the EMSB (English Montreal School Board) and mother of CTV News Montreal co-anchor Paul Karwatsky. Her father Wasyl “Bill” Lichacz came to Canada from his native Ukraine in 1928, when he was only nine years old. Not knowing how to speak neither English nor French upon his arrival, “Bill” made a go for himself in his new home of Montreal, married a French Canadian girl from Pointe St. Charles and in 1946, bought a grocery

As well, Karwatsky deviates from the store to tell about her own life, first as a globetrotting McGill student (especially her escapades in Spain and Tangier during the early 70s, which she was inspired by James A. Michener’s novel The Drifters), and some of the interesting cases she dealt with during her lengthy career as a high school guidance counselor (including a “stand off” with four teenage boys with an alleged drug problem, whose only goal was to graduate from high school without any trouble). The stories in this book are well crafted and well written, and offers a fond look back at life in a Montreal suburb that evolved from farm land to residential neighborhood, and what living the post World War II Canadian dream was like as seen through the comings and goings at Mary Ann Lichacz-Karwatsky’s father’s Rosemont corner grocery store.

It’s an amazing story of survival against all odds from both the European and Pacific theatres of World War II. Her father John, who was born in Indonesia, was a recruit for the Dutch Navy in the Dutch East Indies during the war when he was captured and held as a prisoner of war by the Japanese. Her mother Sonja was born in the Netherlands and when the Nazis invaded Holland in 1940, she was put in a slave labor camp and later sent to Auschwitz. But what makes their sepa-
rate survival stories so amazing were the somewhat fortunate circumstances that befell upon them that enabled their survival. John was sent to Nagasaki to work in the mines there; in fact, he was working deep in the mines when the U.S. dropped the second atomic bomb on Nagasaki in August of 1945; Sonja was sent to certain death in the gas chambers of Auschwitz three times and it was during those three times she escaped that certain death (including one instance of the chamber running out of the deadly zyklon B gas when it was her turn, and was sent back to barracks with her group). Ms. Franken attributes these strokes of luck in the lives of her father and
incredible story of love and survival with Meant To Be that will leave you not only with a feeling of inspiration, but a feeling of amazement at how such simple, positive attitudes can lead to overcoming things when the odds can sometimes be overwhelmingly against you. As Ms. Franken writes in the conclusion of her book: “If people around the world could use their conscious might for desired good, believe that miracles are available to us if we also make ourselves available to them, and remember that things are perhaps meant to be, then this world could be a better place.” (10-Q Publishing, $18)

mother on opposite ends of this deadly conflict to a simple concept: “meant to be”. In fact, this concept dominates the reasons how and why her parents met (which led to their marriage in 1960), and how the entire family faced and successfully conquered other personal challenges, including a major heart attack and two battles with cancer. As well, the book also serves as a motivational and inspirational text to how one can survive adversity and challenges not only through “meant to be”, but also through other life concept such as the power of appreciation, the power of perseverance, and the power of choice.

everything run very smoothly. The collected food will be redistributed to disadvantaged members of the community through various charities including Sun Youth. Over six thousand pounds of food was collected for Sun Youth’s food assistance program which will go to feed hundreds of families over the coming month. This donation came in just in time for the World Food Day which was created in 1945 and is celebrated on the 16th of October every year, with hopes to raise awareness about food insecurity. It encourages people to take
action to relieve hunger in their community and that is exactly what the Federation CJA did with the “Feed the Truck” event.This year’s World Food Day theme was “Our actions are our future. A #ZeroHunger world by 2030 is possible",” and the Federation CJA initiative was in tune with it, demonstrating once again the importance of the community in protecting its members. Sun Youth would like to thank Federation CJA, the participating schools, all the students and their parents for this generous gesture!

he old Hebrew term “Tikun Olam" means “to repair the world” but in today’s context, it encompasses the idea of fixing what has broken in society. On October 11th and for the fourth consecutive year, Sun Youth had the pleasure of participating in Federation CJA’s "Feed the Truck" 2-day initiative and collect non-perishable kosher food with local Jewish students part of the "Tikun Olam Volunteers (TOV)" program.

LìOLà Pizzeria Pizza Fest 2018 winner
L
The proud LìOLà Pizzeria team
ìOLà Pizzeria Pizza Fest 2018 winner Lì- O- Là, means “here” or “there” in Italian, and it stems from the notion that wherever you choose to eat, you always come back to where you feel most at home. Matteo Fiorilli and Anna Giampà, founders of the recently opened LìOLà Pizzeria in Laval, are proud to announce that the pizzeria has been awarded first place in the 2018 edition of the Pizza Fest competition in the NeoNapolitan pizza category. With 56 pizzerias participating in this year’s edition, 19 of which in the Neo-Napolitan category, the pizza competition was founded with the idea of celebrating pizza and the creators behind each original, mouth watering recipe. LìOLà was honoured to be nominated among such incredible pioneers of the Montreal and Laval pizza scenes. Fiorilli explains, “We are the new kid on the block, and winning first prize was not something we had foreseen, but it just goes to show how much hard work and dedication we have put into LìOLà and our authentic Napolitan pizza recipes. We are pleased that the judges understood where this product comes from. It is not something we take lightly, and we are extremely proud and excited to be able to share it with all of you.” During the first round of judging, Montreal pizza lovers and critics, Giacomo Biello and Tom Dion, had the difficult task of bringing a finalists’ list to the table of only 5
Napolitan pizzerias. The final verdict was then left up to the renowned international pizza consultant Anthony Falco. “In fact”, Giampà adds, “we would like to thank the judges, as well as organizer Mathieu Fortin, for their sincerity and genuine enthusiasm. We know what it means to love pizza and are happy to have other passionate individuals like us understand the culture behind creating an authentic product, even if with a touch of innovation. We want our patrons to understand this as well. We are overjoyed with the results.” LìOLà’s Margherita pizza is prepared with high quality ingredients and cooked in a wood-burning oven by Napolitan pizzaioli. Fiorilli is hopeful that a new generation of Canadian pizza makers will soon understand the importance of this art-form, and be able to carry these pizzamaking traditions towards the future. He continues, “We are always looking for new passionate and hard- working members to welcome into the LìOLà family.” When asked why LìOLà Pizzeria was awarded first place in the Neo-Napolitan category for the 2018 edition of Pizza Fest, Anthony Falco explains, “The winners were chosen based on personal opinion, knowledge of pizza and overall enjoyment of the pizza itself. LìOLà Pizzeria has a warm atmosphere, and the pizza is simple and tasty. The pizzeria also has a great vibe, and a good vibe attracts good clientele, this
is how a pizza place should be. Congrats to the LìOLà team, you made it!” In addition to mouthwatering pizza and a creative assortment of luscious wines and noteworthy cocktails, LìOLà also has much more. The menu features tempting desserts, including a gelato bar as well as a selection of Italian amaros. Amaro (Italian for “bitter”) is an herbal liqueur that is commonly consumed as an after-dinner digestif). The LAB, LìOLà’s Amaro Bar, boasts over a dozen varieties – mostly private imports – to satisfy every palate. Fiorilli says, “We want this experience to be as unique for our customers, as it is for us.The food, the décor, the training we provide our staff, all have the objective of providing customers a place they will be happy to return to, time and time again.” Keeping with the notion of “the LìOLà family”, the pizzeria offers a children’s menu and also houses a welcoming play area, complete with a TV screen for movie nights. “Our kids’ corner allows parents to enjoy their meal while the little ones are entertained,” explains Giampà. LìOLà offers various promotions and will be organizing unique events which will be announced through social media and mailing lists. So, keep your eyes open for great things ahead, for LìOLà and for the community! To view the menu and make reservations, visit www.liola.ca or phone 450-661-6980.

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca
t was 8 years ago that I reviewed “Lipstick’s lethal lead’. I think it’s time to check it out again. Back then I wrote We eat while wearing lipstick We drink while wearing lipstick We kiss while wearing lipstick. We spread the lead around. The average American woman, inadvertently, can eat 4 pounds of her lipstick in her lifetime. No exposure is without harm. But this is not new news. Back in 2003 lead in lipstick made the headlines. Many of you were exposed and specific brands targeted for the lead contaminants in the lipsticks. In 2009 the FDA scientists (PCPC) claimed that there are no toxic levels of lead in lipstick. CSC (Campaign for Safe Cosmetics) disagreed. If we believe the FDA we think we are safe. If we believe the CSC (Campaign for Safe Cosmetics) we question our safety. The FDA scientists back up their studies, but if you read it carefully it seems that they knew beforehand what it was they wanted to prove. An update In 2016 the FDA reported: More than 99 percent of the cosmetics we surveyed contained less than
10 ppm lead. Based on our surveys we determined that manufacturers are capable of limiting lead content in cosmetic products to 10 ppm or less if they are careful about selecting their ingredients and follow good manufacturing practices. No exposure is without harm The manufacturers may be capable, but are they all being cautious? It seems not much has changed. It is not illegal for there to be lead in your lipstick. Lead in your lipstick can come from colorants, petroleum, paraffin and mineral oil. The European union has banned chemicals in cosmetics that cause birth defects, mutations and cancer.The FDA has failed to take any action to protect customers re lead and lipstick. Canada follows what the FDA says. The CSC still claims that any level of lead is dangerous. It is the cumulative effects of the lead that should be looked at and it is not. Dr. Mercola cites it as high as 10 lbs., not just 4 lbs. that can be consumed in a lifetime. Joe Schwartz wrote an article on May 20th, 2017: ‘Is there lead in my lipstick?’ Quote: “…lead of course is of greatest concern during the developmental period. But lipstick is not a food and furthermore is not used by children, so the comparison of the lead content of lipstick to that allowed in
food is totally inappropriate.” True, lipstick may NOT be classified as a food, but we do ingest it through the skin. Children do sometimes wear lipstick and not just on Halloween either. Young children often apply makeup if involved in dance or theatre. There is no safe level for anyone If you wear lipstick or are concerned about someone who does, you can write to the companies and ask them about lead in their lipstick. They will tell you that they do not add lead to the lipstick. This should not ally your fears, as you now know that it may inadvertently be in other contaminated ingredients. In my original article I asked if you had access to a 24K-14K gold ring and a lipstick you fear may contain lead? Rub some lipstick on the back of your hand and scratch with the gold ring. If the lipstick color changes to black then you can be sure the lipstick contains lead. Continue to ask, “Is there still lead in my lipstick?” Meet us in person at the shop. ‘La Boutique Earth to Body’, 89 Lucerne, Pointe Claire, QC., H9R 2V1.

Montreal Resl Estate
New condo project at MAA Club Sportif MAA members will be relocated during construction of the mixed-use project
F
ollowing a call for tenders, Devimco Immobilier has been selected by Club Sportif MAA to develop a real estate project comprising more than 300 condominiums on Peel Street, directly South of Sherbrooke Street. Once completed, the 33-storey project will feature a revitalized Club Sportif MAA. "We are proud to have been selected to develop this project of great historical significance and, above all, to oversee the very first mixed used project of this type in Québec," said Serge Goulet, President of Devimco Immobilier. "This is a unique partnership between two leaders in their respective fields." For his part, Pierre Blanchet, President and CEO of Club Sportif MAA, stated: "We chose Devimco because of its expertise in urban real estate development and mixed-use projects. This developer also offered the fastest timeline for Club Sportif MAA's relocation, thereby ensuring a smooth transition for our members." He continued: "This revitalization will help perpetuate the Club for decades to come for the benefit of our loyal members." This $150-million project, both stylish and welcoming, will offer an array of services designed to upscale hotel standards. An elegant blend of glass and noble materials featured in the understated but high-end and contemporary architecture will highlight the cachet and opulence of the façade of the restored existing building. A budget of $20 million is planned for reconstruction of Club Sportif MAA. Condo sales will begin in February 2019. Highlights of the real estate project • More than 300 units (from studios to 7,500 18
square feet penthouses) • 31 residential floors and • 45,000 square feet for Club Sportif MAA • Indoor pool • Penthouses with outdoor balconies • Indoor parking Preserving urban heritage Another reason for choosing Devimco is its pledge to enhance and preserve the urban heritage. Both partners have the firm intention of enhancing the building through the Club's revitalization. Its façade on Peel Street will undergo extensive renovation, restoration and improvement to restore it to its original appearance. In addition, the dissemination and display of the MAA's major archival collection, consisting of sports artifacts and historical documents, will be a key element in the Club's new interior design, giving the institution new verve through its sports history. The goal of Devimco Immobilier and Club Sportif MAA is to preserve the MAA's history while providing a new state-of-the-art environment for its members. Historical aspect One of the country's most respected clubs, with its 137 years of history, Club Sportif MAA has great historical importance. The winner of four Stanley Cups (1893, 1894, 1902 and 1903), Grey Cup champion (1931) and the home club of Canada's first Olympic gold medallist, Étienne Desmarteau (1904), the MAA was also voted best fitness club in the country by Reader's Digest in 2006. Club members Club Sportif MAA has identified some relocation options in order to enable all its members to continue their sports and fitness activities and employees to maintain
top-quality service between the start of work in August 2019 and the completion of construction, scheduled for 2021. The 2,800 members of Club Sportif MAA will have the choice of continuing their memberships or cancelling them if the temporary location does not suit them. In order to meet members' expectations, the brand-new building will include a modern and high-end multisports club that will far surpass the former facility in terms of variety and quality. "Upon our return to Peel Street, the new and revitalized MAA will provide a perfect balance between history and contemporary, encouraging the well-being of current and future members," Mr. Blanchet added. About Club Sportif MAA Club Sportif MAA was originally known as the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (M.A.A.A.) when it was established in 1881 in Westmount. It was born from the merger and vision of three founding clubs: Montreal Snow Shoe Club, Montreal Lacrosse Club and Montreal Bicycle Club. The vision: to enable young Montrealers to practise sports for the competitive, health and social aspects. In 1905, it moved to the current Peel Street building to prosper and welcome a larger membership. Today, some 137 years after opening, it continues to be home to a number of renowned athletes, as well as a clientele consisting primarily of downtown businesspeople, enabling all members to meet their goals of performance, health and well-being. The Club has been the benchmark for fitness downtown since 1881.
