ome 300 people walked to the Black Rock beside Victoria Bridge on May 28, horrified with the prospect of sacred ground being turned into an electrical substation. In recent days, news has broken about how Hydro Quebec is purchasing land just east of the rock that marks where some 6,000 Irish immigrants who died of typhus in 1847 were buried in a mass grave. Mayor Denis Coderre had promised the Montreal Irish Monument Park Foundation that he was turning the land into a park, commemorating the typhus victims.

For over 100 years, there has been an annual walk to the Black Rock, but this was the largest crowd ever. The procession left from St. Gabriel's Parish in Pointe St. Charles, led by a bagpiper and flag bearers..With police blocking traffic, the

contingent walked through an industrial wasteland, arriving some 40 minutes later at the Black Rock.The rock itself sits awkwardly on the small median strip of Highway 112 on the approach to Victoria Bridge.

“This is not an ideal place for a monument,” noted march organizer Victor Boyle to a crowd that included such dignitaries as Mayor Coderre; Tom Mulcair (federal NDP leader); Marc Miller; ( local MP for VilleMarie—Le Sud-Ouest— Île-des-Sœurs);

Dominique Anglaide (local MNA, Saint-Henri– Sainte-Anne); Geoff Kelley (MNA, Jacques Cartier); Benoit Dorais (Sud Ouest borough mayor); Craig Sauvé (Sud Ouest councillor);. Sterling Downey (Verdun councillor), and Christine Zachary Deom (Kahnawake Mohawk nation).

St Gabriel's priest Murray McCrory joined them shortly after.

Overall, the tone was conciliatory without overt hostility against mayor Coderre who was the Grand Marshall of the

2017 St. Patrick's Day Parade. It is unclear for how long Coderre knew of Hydro's plans. On Sunday, the mayor was loudly applauded when he addressed the crowd; he went on to optimistically say that “for sure, something will happen (to commemorate the victims),” while remaining vague on specifics.

Many of the speakers touched on similar themes about the tremendous significance of this place. Fleeing a the Potato Famine in Ireland, thousands of refugees

crossed the Atlantic in “coffin ships” built to carry timber, not human passengers. Unhygienic onditions on board were a perfect breeding ground for typhus or “ship's fever,” a usually fatal disease.

Those who made it to

Canada often came down with typhus in the weeks that followed. In “Calcutta-like heat” that summer, Montreal was overwhelmed with the refugees who doubled the population of the city. continued on Page 6

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.

Adjacent industrial terrain was promised for a park where the Black Rock would be moved to.

Instead, Hydro Quebec will use the land to build a substation for the proposed $6 billion+ Réseau électrique métropolitain (REM) electric train, a controversial “pet project” of Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard. While speakers at the 2017 Black Rock ceremony were all optimistic, it is unclear what compromise can be made at this point.

ome of you might have witnessed people around the city last summer doing the new 'pinch and gag' reflex - especially in the downtown area. It wasn't a trend inspired by a Justin Bieber or Justin Timberlake video, but rather a self-defense mechanism inspired by the putrid smells coming from overfilled and under-collected garbage. Garbage in bins, in bags and on the streets.

Garbage that smelled so bad, it was a detriment to

and gagging in an alarming way.

No doubt last summer was unusually hot and humid, which certainly added to the problem.

Nevertheless, the question remains, will the stink prevail again this summer?

Back in 2015, Montreal announced plans to eliminate twice a week garbage pickup in all of its 19 boroughs by 2019, and instead have it picked up only once a week. Hand in hand with it, they also announced the rolling out of brown bins for the Organic Waste Program, with weekly pickups which in theory would balance out the changes to the regular garbage pickup. Once all distributed, it would amount to a total of 536,000 households - including homes, duplexes and apartment buildings with eight residences or less, taking part

A garbage can overflowing on Ste Catherine street garage doors on the driveway is not allowed.

The stink from overflowing bins are wafting up into the apartments.

As for the organic waste, last summer when I lifted the lid of our bin to add more scraps, it was filled with maggots - and not just a few. The underside of the lid was coated with them and inside the bin was like a horror film.

The compostable liner bags, of which the city

them worked. Maggots multiply very quickly. And they are gross.

With the exception of homeowners, most people don't have places like balconies or garages to store their brown bins until pickup day. The solution was to simply stop participating in the program.

During the mini-heat wave that hit us a few weeks ago, I had a 9:00 am meeting downtown. The

humidity level was still high from the night before, but it was early enough in the morning and quite comfortable. Afterwards, instead of rushing back home to my computer screen, I decided to stop at a café down the street where a few tables and chairs were set up outside.

There was a nice breeze, adding to the welcoming aroma of fresh brewed coffee. With cup in hand, I enjoyed a moment of pure 'nothingness' - but my Zen bubble soon popped. The wind died down and suddenly the overwhelming stink of garbage, coming from the side alley took over. Before the 'pinch and gag' reflex kicked in, I paid for my coffee and left, while hopes for a pleasant smelling summer faded behind me like the stink.

Montreal's waste management program could use some serious tweaking. It's unsanitary and filthy and one has to wonder how it is helping the environment if garbage trucks have to idle longer to pick up heavier, overflowing bins.

An idea brought up by several readers, offered a simple and intelligent solution - why not go back to weekly regular garbage pickup (twice a week for downtown) for the summer? The season when Montrealers get to enjoy the city's outdoor ambiance is upon us - and enough noisy and messy projects are taking the 'joie' out of our reputed 'joie de vivre'.Why not let us smell the roses for a little while?

And so, I ask again as I did last autumn… Mayor Coderre, what say you?

Or do you suffer from Anosmia - the loss of the sense of smell?

CN also announced a major investment in Montreal's tree canopy in honour of Montreal's 375th and Canada's 150th anniversaries. The announcement took place during a luncheon with local mayors and community leaders at CN's Montreal headquarters. After the dinner, the special train called Fathers of Confederation took the mayors and the Confederation Players to Ottawa.

Michael Rosen, speaking on behalf of Tree Canada / Arbres Canada, underlined the importance of trees for the economy and the environment. He also remarked the symbolism in the trees being planted: besides a silver

Mayor Denis Coderre thanked CN and reiterated the city's commitment to protecting the environment. He finished with a strong "Vive le Canada, Vive MontrĂŠal" in a reminder of how people in the city are becoming involved in the celebration of these two emblematic anniversaries.

The ceremony ended with the actual planting of the tree and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque marking the occasion.

After the luncheon, the mayors and other guests boarded a train consisting of four historic passenger cars which departed from Montreal's Central Station and travelled through the city's neighbourhoods of Griffintown, Pointe Ste. Charles, Ville St. Pierre and Lachine, on to Dorval, Pointe Claire, Beaconsfield, Ile-Perrot and

Pincourt in Quebec, and Alexandria, Maxville, Casselman and Carlsbad Springs in Ontario before arriving in Ottawa.

It was certainly a good start to the celebration of Canada's 150th anniversary in our city: with a reminder of the important role of the railway industry in the development of the city and the country, and a commitment on the part of CN to the environment through the simple but meaningful act of planting trees.

The Montreal Observation Wheel under construction at Old Port

T

By Deborah Rankin mtltimes.ca

he Montreal Observation Wheel is under construction at the Old Port of Montreal with work on the giant wheel slated to wrap up by the end of June. The 60 metre high Ferris wheel will be ready for the public to climb on board after safety testing has been completed by mid-July. Montreal's big wheel will be open for business year round and able to accommodate up to 336 people per cycle.

The Montreal Great Wheel will boast 42 passenger cars, air-conditioned in summer, and heated in winter. No complaints there (unlike for

metro and buses). It promises to be quite the ride offering a breathtaking view of the city and mountain, with a panoramic vista all the way to Montée de Liesse on the South Shore!

While cities in the U.S.A. such as Seattle already have a big wheel there are few in Canada. "The main axle is now up. We will be the tallest one in Quebec," says Jimmy Laforge, PR & Media contact for the Old Port of Montreal. While there is no official tie-in with either the 375th birthday celebrations of Montreal or Canada's 150th anniversary, "It's a nice timing," he says. "We are always trying to get more activities. The Old Port of Montreal is so beautiful. It will attract lots of people." Passengers will be able to have a glass of wine in their enclosed cabins as they take in the stunning tableau of Montreal island and the river from on high. There will also be a bar, bistro, and coffee shop on site for those who prefer the scenic view from the ground.

"There's no private money involved in other jurisdictions," Laforge says.

However, in Montreal's historic port under federal

administration the converse is true.The project is entirely funded and managed by the private promoter La Grande Roue de Montréal which has hired a team of international experts to design and test

Montreal's Great Wheel.

One thing is a safe bet: Montreal's Observation Wheel on Bonsecours Island will be a big draw for tourists and locals alike once the big wheel is up an spinning.

A Night at the Fringe-For-All 2017

Fringe Festival executive and artistic director Amy Blackmore

It was during that time that I got the chance to have a brief tete-a-tete with Amy Blackmore, the festival’s lively, amiable executive and artistic director, a role she has served with a great deal of energy and enthusiasm since 2011. “I’ve been going to the Fringe Festival since I was 17. And during one of my visits to the beer tent, someone out of the blue asked me for my opinion about one the shows. And for a 17-year-old going to their first festival, it meant a lot to me. It showed how the Fringe Festival is so together and more like a community,” she said.

is this year’s Fringe Festival official spokesperson.

“I am the first musician to be the festival’s spokesperson,” he said. “I have performed at the Fringe a number of times, and I love the fact that so many performers can occupy a public space like Fringe Park for people to enjoy.”

This year, besides making the usual public appearances and speeches that go with the job of spokesperson, Cargnello and his band Skinny Bros. will have the honour of headlining the opening concert at Fringe Park (located at Parc des Ameriques on St. Laurent and Rachel) on June 8 at 8 p.m. Also, he composed the festival’s very first official theme song called “Get Into the Fringe”, which was released to the public last week. However, Cargnello has a novel way to keep his theme song fresh year after year. “I’m pitching the idea to the Fringe Festival people that the musical style of the theme song change every year.

One year it will punk reggae; the next year it can be jazz or blues or whatever,” he said.

It is now 6:45 p.m., and it’s time to make our way up to the main Café Campus venue for the FringeFor-All. As me and my friend and fellow local media person Becky make our way to our favorite table (second row centre) in the reserved media section, we are greeted with the usual assortment of promotional flyers, cards and odd items that buries the table top, in order to help convince us to see their shows (my favorite is the pocket packs of Kleenex tissues that are used to plug the solo comedy show “0 Days Without Crying”).

Armed with my list of acts that are scheduled to appearat the Fringe-ForAll, me and Becky are ready to witness, savour, comment, be amazed or shocked at what shows will bring off enough fringe buzz for us in order to make that effort to make the trip(s) to the selected venues where they

will be playing.

Nearly four hours later, with my list marked up with check marks, Xs, question marks and stars (which denote my mustsees), here are a selection of Fringe shows that have me convinced to make that trek: “The Monkey King Gets His Staff”, “Illustrated Lady” (in which Fringe veteran Sophie Croteau will get audience members to decide which tattoo designs will be done on her body … live onstage!), Ellie MacDonald’s solo comedy show “Crazy Bitch”, “The Detective, the Dame and the Devil”, “Precinct: An Improvised Cop Story” (free Krispy Kreme donuts notwithstanding), “Leave

the Therapy Take the Canoli” (free canolis notwithstanding), and yes, even “0 Days Without Crying”. Of course, like any devoted fringe goer (five years and counting for me), I have to leave some open slots to allow for positive word of mouth and fringe buzz for those shows that I haven’t given any thought to, but will constantly hear that I cannot miss (provided that there will be tickets available).

A 33rd Summer for Sun Youth’s Bike Patrol

F

or the 33rd year, the Sun Youth Bike Patrol will act as the eyes and ears of the Montreal Police and will be present, throughout the summer, on streets, bike paths, parks and playgrounds, emphasizing a sense of safety and community in the public spaces of the Greater Montreal area.

On May 30th, 21 bike patrollers were sworn in by the Assistant director of the SPVM, Stéphane Bélanger. Trained in first aid and other public safety skills, the bike patrollers will work closely with local police stations across Montreal and the West-Island for a period of 10 weeks, starting on June 5th and ending on August 11th, 2017. They will also be present at festivals, community events, and fundraisers for local organizations. Due to the flooding we have experienced across Quebec, particularly in the West Island, two additional bike patrollers will be assigned, this summer, to help people who need assistance in Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough.

Wonder Woman - Movie hit of the summer

W

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

o n d e r Woman was not the first female superhero, but she is certainly the most popular, a factor that contributed to creating big expectations about this super production directed by Patty Jenkins, with the Israeliborn actress Gal Gadot playing the leading role.

The movie is based on the comic book character created by William Moulton Marston, who wrote the scripts under the pseudonym of Charles Moulton. The artist was Harry G. Peter, "whose unusual style (reminiscent of that used by Lt. Dick Calkins in the Buck Rogers newspaper strip)

The writers of the film, however, decided to make a very substantial change to the original story.

While in the comic book Steve Trevor, the pilot who falls into the sea near the island of the Amazons was American, in the movie the writers (Allan Heinberg, Zack Snyder, and Jason Fuchs) made Trevor (Chris Pine) a British subject. The time period is also that of the First War World, the Ger-

childhood and early youth of Diana, the princess of the Amazons whose mother at first didn't want her to train for combat. The reason for that would be apparent later, as she seems destined to battle Ares, the god of war. This segment of the movie also deals— in a very free manner, although still interesting—with the actions of the ancient Greek gods, and the unique role

action scenes and combats with too much firework. Still, the character manages to instill some elements of emotion and compassion that are not always so visible in the superhero films. The movie is also faithful to the comic book way of characterizing villains both, German General Ludendorff (Danny Huston) and the sinister scientist Dr. Maru (Elena Anaya) are bad, really bad.

Humour is not absent either: Wonder Woman being a feminist icon to many, wouldn't miss the occasion to poke at male pride.As shown in this exchange while Diana and Trevor sail away from the island and talk about sex: "Men are good regarding reproduction, yes" says

more profound and reflective that the part in which war action prevails.

However, I would say that it is a good rendition of the female superhero: Gal Gadot delivers a convincing performance during which she would project different emotions and be subjected to various tensions.

"Wonder Woman" will interest young audiences and also those nostalgic of Dr. Maru (Elena the old comic strip (there Anaya) is preparing was also a not very successful TV series). Some of a very lethal gas the action scenes in the Diana, "but when it comes last part are too long and to pleasure, hmm…" could have been reduced, I say that "Wonder but overall is an enjoyable Woman" is somehow two movie if you just look for movies in one, in the entertainment.

Yoga has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. It has also been shown to reduce both physical and emotional stress. Its restorative postures improve blood circulation and help detoxify the organs. Some yoga practices help us sleep better. All of this, slows down the biological clock. Finally we have found the fountain of youth. Ponce de Leon should have headed east to India instead of west to the ‘new world’!

So, if you don’t do yoga for the joy of how great it feels, or how much it improves your health or the changes it brings to your sex life or how it calms your stress/anxiety… .well, then, do it for beauty. For vanity.

while playing games whereas the children who were not excluded did not.

The students who were included in the social circles demonstrated more self-confidence, an upright posture, and a more positive mood (Oberleitner, 2014). The “In” crowd gets the importance of good posture.

Your posture, the structural framework of your body is directly related to your level of self-esteem and your mood. Obtaining a slouched posture is not only bad for your body physically, but it is robbing you of a good mood mentally.

To offset negativity and to promote higher levels of positivity you need to change your physiology to change your mind. Sitting up straight and standing up tall with a resilient upright posture will help you achieve the mental shift that will add quality to your life experiences.

Your posture matters, good posture isn’t going out of style. Be sure to take care of your posture to take care of your mind.

Pet of the Week

T

'Meet Toots the Funky Cat'

oots is only about 5 months old now and was just a tiny kitten when Reesa Moretti found her in a back alley in the Plateau area. She was dirty and quite hungry, but seemed to be in good health.

"I was taking a walk around the neighborhood and in this area there are a lot of feral cats. I heard pathetic little meows coming from behind some boxes and went over to check… this poor little thing suddenly jumped out from behind and sat down in front of me. I was smitten," explained Reesa.

She asked people around the neighborhood and put up a few posters to make sure she wasn't somebody else's kitten, but after a few weeks and no replies, she officially became Toots' forever Mom. "I had taken her to the vet right away and except for some fleas and needing de-worming pills she

was very healthy… and she soon became the funniest and funkiest little thing I ever met."

Reesa enjoys dancing and listens to a lot of funky music.

"I listen to everything from James Brown to the Psychic Mirrors - and Toots really gets off on it!

Whenever I put a few tracks on to dance to, she immediately comes running into the living room and begins rolling around on the floor and running in and out between my feet… I have to be careful not to step on her!"

Toots also has a funky

penchant for t-shirts, in feline size of course.

"One of my friends bought her this adorable little t-shirt with 'I love you' and a heart on it. I didn't think she would like having it on her, but I couldn't have been more wrong! When I first took it off, she kept trying to stick her head back into it."

She now has a collection of six little t-shirts, of which Reesa lets her pick out.

"She doesn’t wear them all the time of course, but on chillier days I pull them out and put them on the bed… then she walks all over them and, I think, tells me which one she wants to put on by laying down on it and kneading it."

Toots like to 'Play that Funky Music' indeed.
