DEDICATION • DEVOTION • DETERMINATION

he McCord Stewart Museum will be getting a major facelift thanks to an extraordinary pledge of $15 million for a new improved museum from the Emmanuelle Gattuso Foundation. This represents the largest single private monetary donation to a Quebec Museum in over 30 years. The new establishment will expand the current site in the downtown core by building on the museum's west flank onto Victoria Street and on a nearby lot on President Kennedy Avenue. The proposed expansion and renovation will enable the social history museum to meet its needs for additional space for over 1.5 million artifacts and create a worldclass institution for generations of Montrealers. “Although I have lived in Toronto for many years, I am still a Montrealer at heart," Gattuso said at a recent press conference at the McCord Stewart Museum situated in the nostalgic "Golden Square Mile" opposite McGill University. "This donation is in memory of my parents, Lina and Pasquale Gattuso, Montrealers of Italian origin who chose this city to raise their family and start a food business that still bears their name and has thrived across the country since 1936." She hopes that the project will break ground very soon and different levels of government will throw their support behind it, as well as private citizens. “I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Madam Gattuso for her incredible generosity and for the vision and love she has shown our city,"

said Suzanne Sauvage, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the McCord Stewart Museum. The planned new museum will be able to accommodate twice the number of visitors and triple the number of students each year to its educational facilities and have enough space to

store and expand its historical collections dating from pre-colonial times to today, one of the largest collections in North America. The McCord Stewart Museum has been working closely with the City of Montreal which is granting the right to build on Victoria Street. The current site was selected after conducting a feasibility study. An architectural competition will be launched for the approximately 300,000 squarefoot project which will preserve the Percy Nobbs heritage building and the west façade of the McCord Museum. The new building will house three recently merged museums - the McCord Museum, the Stewart Museum, and the Fashion Museum - under one roof and is being billed as a legacy project one which the City of Montreal chose to get behind after some initial disagree-

ments with the McCord Museum. "Our administration believes that it is important to build this new museum," Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante said. "It will be a major attraction for our city and a source of pride for all Montrealers. We are pleased to be able to help advance the project by granting the right to use Victoria Street." The McCord Stewart Museum is located in the heart of the city’s museum district halfway between the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée d’art Contemporain, as well as being near the downtown universities, the McGill metro station, the upcoming electric train (REM) station, and the future Place McGill College. The Mille carré doré as the Golden Square Mile is known in French is a fashionable swath of downtown real estate and commerce, a magnet for tourists and culture aficionados with its numerous art galleries, high-end boutiques, and fine restaurants on Sherbrooke Street and its environs. So the planned expansion and renovation on the current site was an intuitive choice."We truly could not have found a better site and are very grateful to the City of Montreal for its support and open-minded attitude," noted Monique Jérôme-Forget, Chair of the McCord Stewart Museum Board of Trustees. The new museum will be participatory and interactive in its mission and design reflecting the cultural diversity of Montreal while capitalizing on the creativity and dynamism of Quebec's largest city.

Just For Laughs Ethnic Show a solidly entertaining comedy mosaic

no exception, as this multicultural mosaic of comedy proved that you could always find some humour (without being too malicious) about whatever ethnic background or country of origin you came from. First-time Ethnic Show host Cristela Alonzo got things off to a great start, as she shared with the audience what it is like being a Mexican American living in the U.S.A., especially when one learned how to speak English thanks to “The Price is Right”. The charming Ms. Alonzo also related how she realized she was a minority when she went to college in St. Louis, and the reason why the school was taking pictures of her and a Black student because they • July 20, 2019

were being used strictly for the university’s brochure to promote racial diversity. Anthony De Vito represented the Italian people quite well, especially how he equated marriage with politics. “Every two years, your partner votes to keep you in; it makes me feel like a two-term husband,” he said. He also mentioned an Italian’s version of xenophobia and racism: “My mom’s biggest fear was Mexicans; my biggest fear was that she’ll say that to someone!” Dave Merheje started his set doing some back and forth interaction with a couple of members of the audience who had the courage to sit in the front

by citizens of nearby Detroit, which is located in “the Lebron James of countries.” Robby Hoffman’s appearance was like a homecoming for her, as she spent the early years of her comedy career here in Montreal. The Emmy Award-winning comedian/writer related to the audience the misconceptions surrounding the Jewish mother, the appeal of getting a pizza in New York City at 4 a.m., and the 161 bus route that goes through Cote St. Luc (which she affectionately referred to as “the Jew bus”).

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.

tos, who claimed he is usually confused for a Croatian drug dealer, won over the audience with his distinctive accent and somewhat syrupy delivery, especially his killer routine that dealt with environmentally unfriendly plastic straws and turtles. And Donnell Rawlings represented the U.S.A. with a raucous, urbanstyle set which he poked holes at hip hop country

songs by Black artists, why Black women talk with their hands, people’s fondness for kale, and why at one time he was angry at Canada because he wasn’t able to play the Ms Pac Man video game machine with a Canadian quarter. The Ethnic Show continues its lengthy run at Club Sods until July 25. For more information, or to purchase tickets, go to: www.hahaha.com .

educing impaired driving increases road safety, saves lives and eliminates preventable injuries each year. The Government of Canada is providing law enforcement with access to new technologies, more resources and the training needed to detect and prosecute drug-impaired drivers. If you consume cannabis in any form, do not drive. Find an alternative means of transportation. Today, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, the Honourable David Lametti, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, Peter Schiefke, announced $11.5 million over five years to support frontline law enforcement officers to combat drug-impaired driving in Quebec.The announcement was made on behalf of the Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, the Honourable Bill Blair.

"I have witnessed the consequences of drug-impaired driving too many times during my law enforcement career. People who think impaired driving is a victimless crime have never had to console families grieving the loss or catastrophic injury of a loved one. I have and it is something you never forget.

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.

Régine is one of the first women winemakers in Provence and the recipient of many accolades including being selected by her peers to be a Chevalier-ranked member of the Académie du Vin de France.

Wear an apple. Don't just eat it. ‘Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread’. Many of us know the version of this original Pembrokeshire (a county southwest Wales) proverb as ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. An apple is truly a fruit to be respected. But it is not only for consumption. In natural skin care, ‘wearing’ an apple is wise.Treat your skin to the juice and or pulp of an organic apple. An Earth to Body testimonial on an apple: “I love your emu neem soap. I moisturize with emu oil and use the toner. But when I started washing and rinsing my hair AND FACE with your apple cider vinegar blend, I have naught to see a pimple! My skin is baby soft and clean and oh so CLEAR!” Our ‘apple delight’ is our organic Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinse product. It is nutrient source of biotin and procyanidin B-2 for stimulating hair growth, preventing hair loss, dandruff and promoting healthier hair. Along with the rosemary, parsley and sage is it a nutritious treat for hair, scalp and skin. We recommend it once or twice a week. Of course, you make your own apple treats

Skin manage this miracle fruit Use juice, apple puree or grated apple for any of the following Apple Aids to the Skin. Make your own apple juice, puree or grated apple. If this is not an option for juice, fresh juice can be purchased from a local farmer or health food store, unprocessed. (Commercial processed apple juice, unfortunately, should not to be considered as a substitute. Your skin deserves the real thing that conserves the nutrients.) Juice and Puree: Buy a bag of organic apples. Wash and core them. Slice the apples with the peel on. In a pot add just enough water to cover the apples. Boil until soft 20-25 minutes Using a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth or even a coffee filter, scoop out the softened apples and gently mash, filtering the juice into a bowl. Throw nothing out. The mush left is your apple puree. Keep the apple mush to make an applesauce puree to be consumed, or made into a facial mask. Add a little cinnamon to the puree for an added treat. Cinnamon on the skin helps keep the skin clear (pimples, acne, blemishes etc.) and nourishes the hair, making it stronger

45

and healthier.Your skin can enjoy a facial mask as this good apple food has great anti-aging benefits, cleanses and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles. Leave on about 10-15 minutes and rinse off. Too much sun? Grated apple or puree mixed with tamanu, emu or argan oil is a wonderful soother after too much sun and will help prevent peeling. Dark circles around the eyes? A couple of apple slices, apple juice or apple puree will help to reduce dark circles around the eyes. Or, soak cotton ball with a little of our apple cider vinegar blend and dab under the eyes. Allow it to dry naturally. Do not let the acv enter the eye. Any homemade concoction will not have the commercial chemical preservatives so it should be refrigerated and consumed within the week, or less. Making your own natural skin nutrition is not new. Humans have been doing so for centuries. We are encouraging the concept. But, as this is not always possible, we do make natural skin care for you. ‘La Boutique Earth to Body’, 89 Lucerne, Pointe Claire, QC H9R 2V1. Write to us at: info@natural.ca

Mission ‘Mosquito’ NOT Impossible By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

Be armed. Pack your arsenal in a small cooler: Ice cubes Emu Oil Neem Cotton swabs Apple Cider Vinegar or Baking Soda Black Tea Essential oils: peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, tea tree All legal. Not too costly. No Chemicals. Safe for children and pets. And no danger to you or the environment. The goal is to master the mosquito attack. ‘Be Prepared’ when you suspect the attack is imminent. ‘Be Prepared ‘ for after, in case the enemy traverses the moat. It is a challenge. I do not underestimate the dangers. The swelling, itching, scratching, bleeding, infections. The possibility of an illness. They LOVE me. I do not treat this situation lightly. DEET may be one solution. But weigh the options Deet may cause skin irritation, dizziness, disorientation, birth or developmental defects, maybe cancer, maybe not, but in extreme cases seizures or death. Deet has reigned as the BEST mosquito repellant for over 50 years, but as we know it is not without risks. It is greasy, has a distinctive odour, causes some rashes or allergies in certain peo-

ple. It also melts plastic. An eyebrow raiser, for sure. If you google ‘Does Deet Kill Humans?” you will find the response is “Deet does not Kill mosquitoes. It repels them.” But that does not answer the question? New on the market. Picardin The EPA has concluded that both Deet and Picardin do NOT prove a health risk. There is no evidence as yet, because Picardin is new. Not oily. Not much of an odour. Does not melt plastic though. Few studies show that neither are effective in fending off black flies, ticks, sand fleas, no-see-ums-, midges and other biters. One may work better than the other, depending on the biter. We are inundated with insect repellants and are told we must use products containing 15% DEET to be safe. Off, Deet, Deep woods, all kinds of repellents advertise to keep you bite free. They do repel. And now, we can experiment with Picardin. It is scary spraying all of these chemicals into the air and onto our skin. There are now body clips available so that you can carry the repellant around with you.Who wants to be in a cloud of chemicals? Picture happy campers gathered around a food laden picnic table. Suddenly sounds of slap, ouch, aghhhh fill the air. Mosquito melee. Someone jumps to the rescue and sprays Deet all around. A few coughs

and sighs and the meal resumes. Later. Some people experience stomach upset. One vomits. Was it something they ate? Does anyone question the Deet? Let’s hope the table cloth was not plastic. Do Natural repellants work? Most often very well. I am my own human guinea pig and so are many people I know that have been VERY successful with the natural. If I am attacked, I apply my neem. Back to the Arsenal If bitten, slap on the ice cube. Leave it on for as long as you can (10 minutes is great). The cold prevents the swelling. Black tea, especially, contains lots of tannins which are natural astringents, drawing out the poisons. These mega antioxidants help to calm the skin and reduce the incessant itching. Emu oil is an amazing soother. Organic apple cider vinegar or baking soda: Either one helps to restore the skin’s PH level. Both help rid of the itching. Introduce the enemy to neem.

How do we know when we are ready? A

By Donna Byrne mtltimes.ca

010-101319

fter 20 years providing home care to thousands of people we’ve seen many different scenarios but one consistent theme is that change is difficult. So often change

becomes necessary as we age in order to remain healthy and safe in our homes or sometimes in another home. Another home may be smaller and easier to maintain but still allow independent living. Some of the issues we have to deal with are hard to come to terms with. Sometimes it is our children who initiate the conversation about downsizing or moving to an assisted living environment. These are never easy conversations and often result in disagreements and struggles between family members. One child may want to support the parents’ wishes and others may

not agree. Often it has been one sibling who lives closer to the parents that wants to work with the parents on a plan that suits the parents while one who lives far away has the strongest opinion about how it should be done. Most often there can be a plan that respects the parents and their many years of success and independence. The hope is that all of their strengths are considered and used when planning any change. Questions for the children and the parents to get us started are “is the home too large for easy and manageable upkeep?” Do you need a lot of help to keep it up? Are you willing to accept some outside help to do so? Do you understand that we, the children, are also busy with university children, work and family activities and commitments therefore cannot be doing all of the upkeep and still be able to visit and enjoy gatherings together? These are tough questions! Are we ready to start the conversation? From our experience you, the parents, are not always receptive to even think about change. Statements such as “I am doing fine

We’re the gym that comes to YOU”

In your home, Residence or Long-term Facility All Equipment Provided Wide range of individualized training programs for: Autonomous Active / Inactive Dependent Frail We focus on: • Strength • Balance & Fall Prevention * Endurance • Flexibility

and don’t need help” are frequent. Some of you strongly remind your children that they “are not the boss of me.” I understand that you want to be independent and do things as close as possible to how you have always managed but can there be a compromise? Can you consider that your children worry about you and care about how you are doing? If all parties respect each other can there be a discussion? After the questions about the size of the house and the mainte-

nance of it can the topic of all of your “stuff” be addressed? We love our belongings but even before we think of a smaller place can we think about starting a process of reducing what we store and organizing what should stay and what should go? We should do this even if we want to put off a move or maybe even avoid a move because life would become more manageable. Here comes another hard part…..Can you accept outside help to do this organizing? This could be an ongoing process

over weeks for short periods at a time allowing you to get used to the sorting and deciding “what stays” what is “discarded” and what “can be given away?” I think that even younger people far from needing help to stay home can be thinking about future needs. Do we need as much as we have? Food for thought! Comments, thoughts, suggestions welcome. Until we meet again.

Memo to Millenials

f you’re a first-time home–buyer, you’ve likely wondered what neighborhood would be the best bet. Often, these debates among Millennial Montrealers revolve around the Plateau vs. Sud-Ouest. If you’re of a certain age, you might be more than a little reluctant to start your search outside the city’s core. You may be thinking the suburbs aren’t right for you. North East Mortgages President Terry Kilakos wants you to give the ‘burbs a chance though, especially once you start looking at where your life is heading not just in the next year, but further down the road. “I think that for millennials and especially young professionals, what they need to do is to look a

little bit further ahead than where they just currently are,” Kilakos said. “And they need to say, ‘What, are my future plans? Do I want a family?’ And if the answer is yes, there are a lot of suburbs that have a lot to offer.” Kilakos said there are plenty of places to buy on the West Island or South Shore, to name two of many such areas in the greater Montreal area, where there’s more to offer than you might think. “You can get out of the city, have all the same resources have all the same kind of fun and excitement as if you are actually in the city, and then come into the city whenever you need to,” he said. Not only will you find you’re not that far from the action, but there are financial benefits, too.

“You’ll be able to buy a home at a more reasonable price,” Kilakos said. “And, and a lot of cases, you’ll get a lot more bang for your buck, you’ll get more real estate for a lot lower price.” It’s about evaluating your goals, and where you want to be in your life in the coming years. “If somebody tells me, ‘I’m a single guy, I want to live downtown. I’m not planning on getting married or having children in the next, you know, five to 10 years. And truth be told, even if I do, I’m going to end up keeping this place and renting it out.’ Okay, that’s a different conversation I’m having with the person,” Kilakos said. Then at that point, I’ll say, okay, you know what, maybe buying downtown makes sense for you.” “But if they say to me, ‘I’m getting married next

year, and my girlfriend is pregnant,’ it doesn’t make sense for them to go and buy a 600 square foot apartment,” he said. Like with any major investment, it’s about having an honest evaluation of your goals. After you have that conversation with yourself, you might find the suburbs don’t sound so bad after all.
