Pearson School Board (LBPSB) and Marguerite Bourgeoys School Board (CSMB) are collaborating to remedy a long-time safety issue on Douglas Shand Avenue in Pointe Claire, the Chronicle has learned. Commissioned by the parties involved, a study carried out by CIMA, an engineering and urban planning consulting firm, recommended several changes to the avenue in late May including moving the John Rennie High School (JRHS) parking lot entrance to St. John’s Boulevard. “Lot of options (are) being considered,” said LBPSB chairman Suanne Stein Day, who confirmed the possible changes to the avenue. “So far the city is talking to us. We’re hoping when it comes down to action, everyone will work together closely to come to a solution.” The safety dilemma arises when parents use the Pointe Claire Library parking lot, across the avenue from JRHS, as a drop-off zone for their children. The students then illegally cross Douglas Shand Avenue through the no-vehicle restricted zone adjacent to the JRHS parking lot entrance, causing high traffic in the morning and evening rush hours, as well as some 4282798 ● [email protected] According to a source in close connection with the LBPSB, the purpose of the fence is to force the high school students to cross the street at the corner of St. John’s and Douglas Shand rather than jaywalk where no crossing is indicated. A source close to city hall said the installation of a fence is key to mitigating part of the safety problem. Another recommendation was the designation of a kiss-and-go drop-off zone at the horseshoe-style parking lot for parents of both schools, which operate different opening and closing hours, as well as moving two STM bus stops further east on Douglas Shand. Though all parties involved have yet to officially accept the recommendations, Stein Day told the Chronicle “everyone is on the same page.” “Co-operation between all three parties has been happening. That’s the key to success,” said the chairman. According to a source, the school board’s governing board is in favour of most of the recommendations, if not all, as is JRHS, yet the former awaits formal school-board approval of the plan. Similarly, the city has recognized the need for change on Douglas Shand, according to a source, though city council has yet to approve any plans for a fence adjacent to JRHS, nor has it begun talks with the STM to move buses further east on the said avenue. 2201, BOULEVARD DON-QUICHOTTE, NOTRE-DAME-DE-L’ÎLE-PERROT www.golfatlantide.com • 514 425-2000, ext. 5 The Publisher GOLF ATLANTIDE Clarification 5622859 Worrying doesn’t make everything all better Contemporary parents know things aren’t like they used to be; the question is why MarC lalonde [email protected] There are many outstanding young people in the West Island.

Parents today worry more than parents have every worried before – and sometimes it’s impossible to fathom exactly why. It could be the increased media-tization of the world around us – with its 24-hour news cycle, chock full of horrible news about horrible things happening to children across North America and the world. It could be the fact we’re more aware than ever before of the risks of, well, just about everything, and it could be yet another side effect of the lack-of-control feeling many, many North Americans have in terms of their lives, personal finances and professional life – and thus creates a need within some to control every aspect of their kids’ lives to the point of binding them firmly inside a swath of bubble wrap, in an effort to keep them safe. The good ol’ days Very few parents live life today the way their parents lived it when they were children – which is a huge culture shock for many, because here we are, just two decades removed from then, but who really thinks we’re ever going back to that? For example, back in the day (when I was a child), very few kids wore helmets when they rode their bicycles. Today, of course, we feel a lot more strongly as a society about such things. Back then, it was common for the non-helmet-wearing majority to mock those who did deign to protect their brains when cycling. Today, it’s the opposite, A: except I don’t know how many helmet-wearers mock those who opt not for head protection. Statistically speaking, we’re as safe as we ever have been over the course of human history – but never have we been more fearful of all those things that can kill us or damage our health or children in some way. When I was a kid, roasting marshmallows around roaring campfires was not only acceptable, but it was relished. Try that today and you’re just as likely to engender a lecture from an acquaintance convinced that wood burning in the vicinity will harm children irreparably as you are to engender cherished childhood memories. Granted, many of today’s advances in safety have clear benefits – no one is looking for a return to the days of lead paint being used on playground installations – but at the same time, how are our children ever going to learn responsibility and self-reliance if there is always a parent around to do it safely for them? Last month, we let our daughter ride her bike to school by herself for the first time. We live about 1.3 km from the school, and we have to cross a fairly busy thoroughfare in order to get there, but after a few anxious moments, I realized that letting my daughter engender some of her own independence and build her selfconfidence was worth a few minutes of worry – and regardless, I had already let her go. What good would worrying do? Pick-ups and drop-offs Don’t even get me started on how few children walk to school by themselves anymore. When I was a kindergarten student, I think my mother might have walked with me once or twice, but after that, I was on my own. By high school, not only was I expected to walk Continued on page 18 NO.

Given the irreparable nature of the bears’ ailments and the impossibility of administering medicine during the hibernation period, zoo officials determined euthanasia was the best course of action. Ecomuseum Zoo has space for one more bear, and it will, in all likelihood, be a male. Since zoo officials are preoccupied with Genie and Juno at the moment, the Ste. Anne de Bellevue zoo will only welcome a male bear next year following the end of the hibernation period. When asked whether breeding would be Is a male bear on the way?

After a long search, the Ecomuseum Zoo announced last week the arrival of three-yearolds Genie and Juno. “They’re really lovely bears and they’ve begun interacting with each other,” said David Rodrigue, the Ste. Anne de Bellevue zoo director, of the female bears. Born under human care at the Zoo Sauvage in St-Felicien, Genie arrived in mid-May; Juno, on the other hand, arrived in early June as an orphan bear from Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg. The latter was just 10 pounds, riddled with frostbite and lacerations, when Manitoba’s wildlife agency discovered the abandoned one-year-old cub in Feb. 2012 – a miraculous feat, according to Rodrigue. “Normally they don’t survive without the guidance of their mother. No one understands how she survived,” he said of June, who should have weighed 80 to 90 pounds when first discovered. The two will live in separate habitats for the next two weeks. A transition habitat was built adjacent to another bear habitat, for which Genie has called home, in order to accommodate Juno and to ensure the two bears progressively adapt to each other’s presence. Though the two can’t actually make physical contact until early July, Rodrigue said the bears continue to interact by sight and smell as they alternate between habitats. The arrival of Genie and Juno follows a sixmonth period when the zoo was void of bears. Last November, the zoo’s veterinary team euthanized ailing bears Suzie and Marge, met with old age-related conditions. Suzie, who was a remarkable 28 years old at the time of her death, suffered from significant and progressive muscle loss, whereas her 5622859 AMT’s paid parking pilot initiative poses dilemma for Pierrefonds-Roxboro ● [email protected] An AMT pilot project targeting RoxboroPierrefonds Train Station will cause a safety dilemma in the surrounding neighbourhoods, according to the borough’s mayor, Dimitrios (Jim) Beis. Effective July 1, 20 per cent of the train station’s 887 parking spaces will be reserved for paying customers; the result is roughly 170 fewer free spots, leaving those incapable of paying the required $80 monthly fee stuck wit- hout parking. “To me you’re catering to the segment of the population that can pay. What about those who can’t? We have to serve our community and all equally. An initiative like paid parking separates the users,” said the mayor, adding the option left for customers without a parking spot is to either take their car to work or park on neighbouring streets near the train station, causing secondary problems. The latter has long been a safety issue for the borough, said Beis, one which city officials An important message ATTENTION Customers of Rideau Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home: pierrefonds-Roxboro borough mayor Jim Beis is upset Roxboro train station was among five train and metro stations selected for the AMT’s paid parking pilot project.

The borough has already responded by coordinating with the Societe Transport de Montreal (STM) in adding two new bus 407 stops in front of borough hall, so as to encourage residents to take public transit to travel to the train station.

The borough was not consulted, added Beis, and that “as partners, all efforts should have been made way in advance to communicate this information together so we could have come up with a solution.” According to Martin, AMT head Nicolas Girard spoke personally to all municipalities impacted by pilot project such as DeuxMontagnes, Terrebonne, Ste. Therese, and Pierrefonds-Roxboro among others. The project is expected to last between six to 12 months, after which AMT officials will evaluate the paid parking scheme. “After the evaluation, we’ll consider implementing the tariffs to more stations,” said Martin.

The event was held June 2 at the Beaconsfield Golf Club in Pointe Claire, and every penny helps a West Islander who needs it, said WICS executive director Caroline Tison. “One in five West Islanders turns to a local charitable group for help every year and the needs are growing,” Tison said. “For example, requests to West Island food banks have increased by 22 per cent since 2010. With the help of generous members of our community – including golf tournament supporters - we fund three West Island food banks. This lets them focus more on their mission of feeding families in need and less on fundraising.” Kim Reid of On Rock Community Services, one of three food banks supported by WICS, elaborated on the food security needs in the West Island during a testimonial at the tournament. West Island Community Shares is also a proud partner in yet another fun fundraising event – a designer purse auction, which will be held June 17 at Marlowe (981 St. John’s Blvd.) restaurant in Pointe Claire from 5:30 until 10 p.m. The event will see more than 70 designer handbags, from Chanel, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Michael Kors, Nappa, Browns, M0851, Rudsak, Pragai Couture, Dooney & Bourke, and many more.

The MIB is tasked with surveillance and the enforcement of municipal bylaws 24 hours a day, seven days a week – the first of its kind in Quebec, said the mayor. “Some people do things illegally and they tend to do them on the weekends when the city is closed,” Trudeau told the Chronicle, adding the public security in its former state was incapable of responding to complaints related to urban planning and engineering. As a result of an internal organizational review, the city decided to train and transfer select employees from urban planning and the engineering departments, among others, to the MIB. Aside from surveillance and the enforcement of bylaws, the trained staff of 16 and counting will continue to apply measures of road safety, crime prevention, and animal control. They have no powers of arrest, however. According to the inspection agency’s co-ordinator Rejean Cauchon, the transformation of the public security unit was undertaken “to (improve) the service we already have.” “Let’s say for example your neighbour is AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATPUMP GOODMAN DUCK FREE WALL MOUNTED® Indoor comfort of your home at your fingertips with an easy to use remote control. city officials unveil the Municipal inspection Bureau, a spin-off of the former public security patrol unit.

It What exactly is raw feeding? A balance raw diet contains meat, ground bones, organs, and some vegetables. Kelp is often added for minerals and fish oil for omegas. The bones in the diet are also raw so they are digestible and are the main source of calcium. This is how carnivores obtain their calcium in the wild. Keep in mind that cooked bones are not digestible and sharp fragments could cause a problem. time to send us the following note regarding her experience: “I have wanted to try feeding my own dogs a raw diet for several years. I hesitated because I thought it would be a problem to manage the food, to keep track of thawing etc. We recently switched to Mountain Dog Food (MDF) - and I am so delighted I 'joined the club'. My 2 Golden Retrievers go nuts for the MDF. They are calmer, their fur is even more shiny and the best of all - NO MORE SCOOPING!!!! I will never go back to dry food again.” For many lucky pets, raw feeding is now becoming more mainstream.

For many people it is difficult to imagine feeding their pets anything else. is from owners who are looking for the most appropriate diet for their pets. Dogs and cats are carnivores; their systems have been tuned through millions of years of evolution to thrive on a prey diet (the original raw feeding). We may have have adapted to feeding kibble but our dogs biology is still adapted to do best with a raw diet. Dr Karen Becker (a well-known vet who practices preventive medicine), ranks a balanced raw diet as the best food for cats and dogs health. 5316555 An increasing number of customers have been inquiring about, and jumping on the bandwagon with raw feeding for their dog or cat. Many are moving to raw because they believe it is the healthiest way to feed their pet. Some breeders are feeding raw and asking their puppies or kittens new families to do the same. Other pet owners have been asked to feed raw by their vet, digestive issues or persistent food allergies can be resolved when moving to raw feeding. 2201, BOULEVARD DON-QUICHOTTE, NOTRE-DAME-DE-L’ÎLE-PERROT www.golfatlantide.com • 514 425-2000, ext. 5 Bubba is now 15 months.

Québec, le 18 juin 2014 5624481 474 back and forth from school – it was the only way to go. Today, you almost never see elementary-school-aged children walking to school, and even in high schools, kids are getting lifts at an unprecedented pace. The irony? By ensuring their children are safe when dropping them off, parents have inadvertently made the pick-up and drop-off zones at schools among the most dangerous aspects of contemporary suburban life. Want to really give your child a chance at a real life in this crazy new world of ours?

Both situations require some proper testing: X-rays to see if the ball is out of its socket for a dislocation. For a separation, X-rays should be taken to confirm and prove if there is a bump or step deformity at the top of the shoulder. In both cases, there is a basic four-step process to follow after having initially consulted with a physician or athletic therapist: mobility, stability, strength, and finally, power. The duration spent in each phase depends on the severity of the shoulder injury.

When do the headaches occur? What happened before? What did you eat? To get you started, here are five of the many possible causes and some tips to help you decrease the frequency of your headaches. 1. Hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia results when a meal is delayed and your body’s blood sugar drops. Often, a lack of protein contributes to this condition. Some people experience shakiness, dizziness, nausea, irritability, trembling, trouble concentrating, and headaches or migraines. How do you feel when a meal is delayed? One of my clients had been suffering migraines for years. The problem was so debilitating, she was taking a strong anti-seizure medication. Her migraines always occurred first thing in the morning after a night when her supper had included very little protein. This caused hypoglycemia and triggered her migraines. We decided she needed to increase the amount of protein she ate, eat more frequently, and reduce her intake of refined carbohydrates and sugar, which helped her tremendously. 4. Poor diet or food intolerances If you suffer from headaches, eating a diet with a variety of healthy, whole, fresh foods is essential. Chemicals, additives, and food coloring in packaged, processed foods can trigger headaches. It is best to also avoid sugar and anything containing it. Possible food intolerances for migraine sufferers include chocolate, alcohol, citrus or aged foods, to name a few. 2. Dehydration Bathed in saline solution, the brain is the most hydrated organ in the body. A lack of water can trigger or prolong headaches. If you have a headache, drinking two or three glasses of water can reduce the pain. The client in the example above, whose migraines were triggered by hypoglycemia, drank very little water so her migraines would last for days. Once we got her drinking plenty of water her migraines went away much faster. If she had been drinking a lot of water, she’d have gotten rid of them much faster. Your weight, in pounds, divided by two, indicates the approximate number of ounces of water to drink per day. For each cup of coffee, tea, or alcohol, add in another cup-and-a-half of water to compensate for the diuretic effect of these beverages. 5.Stress Tightness in the neck and shoulders cause tension headaches. Stress management is key. Practice deep abdominal breathing regularly, try yoga, meditation, a massage, or taking a walk. Proper spinal alignment by an osteopath or chiropractor can also help. There are other causes of headaches and migraines, such as a congested liver, eye-strain, anemia, magnesium deficiency, and hypothyroidism. Identify and start addressing what is unbalanced in your body to find relief. 3. Hormonal Imbalance Keep track of your headaches or migraines and note when they occur. I had a client track her migraines and it was clear they occurred during the time that she was ovulating and right before her menstrual cycle. By taking some simple supplements to balance her hormones, she was able to find relief. Sue-Anne Hickey is a certified naturopath, weight loss specialist, and yoga teacher.
