The source couldn’t confirm the total cost of the additional beds. The Health Ministry confirmed the addition of the beds. The beds will help reduce the wait time at the hospital. According to a 2013 CBC Fifth Estate report, the average Emergency Room (ER) wait time was 22.7 hours – five more than the Quebec average. The health centre services over 78,000 in the 18-44 age group, and more than 60,000 in the 45-64 age group. The addition of the beds is related to McGill University Health Centre’s (MUHC) move to the new NDG-based superhospital, and according to the source, the HSSC has been chosen by the Ministry of Health to assume some of the former’s services.

TC Media – Courtesy of WICS ● [email protected] (Source: WICS) Notes of Interest >5422690 4 - Wednesday January 28, 2015 - The Chronicle - www.westislandchronicle.com KirKland West Island Community Shares (WICS) announced last week that the Pharmaprix ‘Tree of Life’ campaign raised a record-breaking $29,179 this year. Ten West Island pharmacist-owned Pharmaprix stores participated in the 14th edition of the campaign, which lasted five weeks in the fall. “Women’s health is a priority for Pharmaprix. More than 15,000 West Island women who seek help from a local community group this year will benefit from the funds raised by the campaign. We’re proud to contribute to their well-being by supporting West Island Community Shares,” said Nada Nasreddine, pharmacist-owner of Pharmaprix Beaconsfield/Kirkland and president of WICS. Since its inception in 2000, the Tree of Life campaign has raised more than $250,000 for the West Island charity. During the campaign, Pharmaprix cashiers asked customers to purchase and personalize a “Tree of Life” icon: a «leaf» for a dollar, a «butterfly» for $5, an «acorn» for $10 and a «cardinal» for $50. The icons were prominently displayed on the Tree of Life in all participating stores and 100 per cent of campaign proceeds were donated to WICS. The campaign helped a segment of the population in need of the charitable organization’s help. “One in 5 West Islanders – 20 per cent of the population - needs the help of a local community group each year,” said Caroline Tison, executive director of WICS. “Thanks to participating Pharmaprix stores, their staff and clients, they will find the help they need, right here in the West Island. The organization, which provides recurrent funding to 38 West Island community groups that deliver services to residents in need, has until March 31 to reach its fundraising goal of $1.3 million.

Joseph Huza told the Chronicle the West Island has a lot to offer to prospective businesses. “For the most part, the West Island does a good job in attracting new business to the West Island as we have so much to offer: skilled labour, excellent education institutions, bilingual workforce, established industries, and an international airport,” he said. Last week, Target announced they were closing all 133 locations in Canada, including their Pointe Claire store. About 200 employees at the St. John’s Boulevard outlet will lose their job within the next two months. The Minneapolis-based retail giant reported US$72.6billion in sales in 2013, yet failed to make an impact in the Canadian market. The Canadian operations have lost over $2 billion in operating losses since 2011. According to Target, the imminent closures will lead to pretax losses of US$5.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014. “Post analysis seems to point towards the method in which they entered the market, allowing competitors to adjust, not providing quality merchandise in a timely manner,” said Huza. Around 200 employees at Target’s pointe claire store will lose their job in the next two months. TC Media – Rob Amyot With each Target store at least 100,000 square feet, it’s estimated that at least 13 million square feet of space across the country will be empty in the next16 to 18 weeks.

The Pittsburgh-based Genco is expected to take control over the West Island facility, and offer limited employment to former employees – but at reduced wages and benefits. “It is sad as Avon was an excellent contributor to the community, providing long-term employment and support local causes. Replacing these kind of jobs is difficult,” added Huza. Last summer, Avon stated it would slash 600 jobs in its corporate organization in an effort to save $400 million in spending by 2016. The North American business, which is the largest direct cosmetics-selling company in the world, had 36,700 employees by the end of 2013. Meanwhile, Sony is closing 14 stores across Canada, including its outlet in Fairview Pointe Claire shopping centre, over the next eight weeks the company announced last week. Eight employees at the West Island store will lose their job. The electronics giant is expected to lose nearly $2 billion this year. The Chamber said finding new businesses is not only important to “lessen the impact of outflow of employment,” but the key in assuring the long-term viability of the West Island.

Montreal police continue their search of the person responsible of breaking into a Pierrefonds apartment last week. During the Jan. 22 incident, a laptop was stolen after a Hortie Street apartment was broken into sometime after the tenant left for work at 11:45 a.m. Upon his return at midnight, he noticed his front door opened; part of the frame touching the floor. According to Const. Daniel Maheu of neighbourhood police station 3, the tenant entered the apartment, but feared the suspect was in one of the rooms. He thereafter left the apartment and called the police. Police can’t confirm whether there was more than one suspect at the scene of the crime. Every room was evidently searched for valuable goods, added Const. Maheu. Police don’t have any leads, or a description of potential suspects. >5983278 EVENT FROM JANUARY 26 TO FEBRUARY 2 RECEIVE THIS GIFT CARD OF TM WITH THE PURCHASE OR LEASE OF A NEW FORD CAR* GET AN ADDITIONAL $500 on select new cars You’re guaranteed to win at your Quebec Ford Store. ^ WINTER WARM-UP BONUS DON’T PAY FOR UP TO ON 0% APR PURCHASE FINANCING 90 DAYS ** monthly term contracts on select new cars (O.A.C. from Ford Credit) fordquebec.ca Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription.†† www.westislandchronicle.com - The Chronicle - Wednesday January 28, 2015 - 9 WISE BUYERS READ THE SMALL PRINT.

Giving quality of life back to our eldest residents is our passion. My team and I see elderly people and those with a loss of autonomy as human beings above all. It would be easy to treat them as “sick people,” but here, we do things differently. ARE THERE STORIES OR PEOPLE WHO STAND OUT AS MORE MEMORABLE TO YOU? First, we avoid anything that could dehumanize them. It is absolutely vital that we not make any assumptions about who our residents are when they arrive. Offering them proper assistance requires that we take the necessary time to get to know each person well, build mutual trust and give them time to get fully comfortable with who we are. At Le Vivalis, the establishment adapts to the residents and not the other way around. Through hard work, humility and respect, we are looking for the best practices. KirKland There are more than 100 people at Le Vivalis, and they are all memorable. Every human being’s daily life is about home, family, pastimes, and taking any of that away can have dramatic consequences. We cannot replace all of those things, but we must listen to each resident and strive to compensate. For example, I visit my residents every day to stay in touch with them, to show them they matter to us. My team is made up of 65 exceptional people who get up every morning to help our residents and improve their quality of life. We have to be humble enough to understand what they are going through.

The latter is the science of wine making, a technical area involving the chemistry of wine. Make cooking classes KirKland KirKland kind of celebration.

Cooking classes are one solution to this problem, helping weary cooks add interesting new flavours to the family menu. Many different types of cooking classes are available. They can help to correct faulty basic techniques or inspire householders with variety and imagination. Others are designed to help cooks master specific aspects of cooking, such as making chocolate, decorating cakes, or learning the art of “slow-food” cooking. There are also classes to learn to cook with healthier foods or to perfect some international recipes, such as Asian soups, Indian stews, or Italian pasta. Many different formulas of study are available, including private, semi-private, or group classes. Usually, everyone participates in the creation of the dishes and then tastes the results in a friendly atmosphere. Students return home with new techniques and tested recipes to delight their families. The new knowledge will add a whole new dimension of personal accomplishment to meal preparation. So, warm up your winter with some new cooking skills to try on your loved ones. No more wracking the brain for new ideas, no more gloomy faces around the table.

The more adults who know these skills, the better our own chances for surviving common accidents! Life-saving skills taught in swimming lessons, first aid training given by non-profit organizations, and workplace safety training are all ways to better equip ourselves to deal with an emergency. Community first aid classes aim to inform and train the general public in basic or advanced first aid, ranging from applying bandages and splints to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is reassuring if at least one person in every family home is versed in these skills. Companies and businesses with a certain number of employees are expected to ensure that some of their staff are trained in first aid and CPR, and workplace health and safety training is essential for people working in high risk environments, such as restaurants, factories, and construction sites. It is highly recommended that pre-teens and teenagers who want to begin babysitting take a certification course. Babysitting classes, usually offered through non-profit organizations or community centres, train young people to act responsibly in case of an emergency. In addition to reassuring the parents of their young clients, a certified babysitter can be proud of their newly acquired basic first aid skills.

For others, exercise is already an integral part of their weekly routine and the New Year is an opportunity to take advantage of great deals on classes and gym memberships. Whichever is the case for you, it’s possible to find a physical activity that will suit your needs as well as your abilities. Popularized in the 1980s, aerobics and step aerobics are ideal for increasing the heart rate to burn calories and lose weight. Classes are guided by certified instructors and rhythmical music helps with physical coordination and motivation. Groups are variously designed for beginners, intermediate, or advanced participants so that everyone can work out in their own comfort zone. Spinning classes have become popular in recent years. These group stationarycycling sessions have popped up in fitness centres all over the country. This activity is based on the same principal as aerobics, including music, guidance from an instructor, and adapted-level classes. Another newcomer to the world of physical fitness is CrossFit. Developed in California, CrossFit is a brand-name training session available at many gyms that combines weight lifting for building muscular strength with a cardiovascular workout. While this type of high-intensity workout is suitable for high-level athletes, classes are adapted to introduce beginners to the activity as well.

Among the many subjects that might be included in a series of classes are how to photograph people, scenery, and buildings, understanding the art of composition and framing, and learning the techniques of night-time or sports photography. Introductory classes in photography usually include a section on theory as well as practical sessions both inside and outside. Many community centres offer basic photography classes to adults, but they are sometimes available in schools or through workshops given by professional photographers.

In fact, the only requirement to register for a painting class is simple: the desire to create.

Some are evening classes offered at learning institutions, others are Saturday workshops given at community centres. Course fees usually cover all the necessary materials, which the instructor provides unless otherwise indicated. This is especially the case for most beginner classes. An introduction to painting allows people to discover the basic notions of drawing and how to handle the medium: knowing how to use a brush and the colour wheel, how to apply the paint for a desired effect, how to explore space, perspective, and depth as well as playing with light and shadow. These are skills that enable students to explore their abilities and create original works of art. Taking a painting class also builds selfesteem, because it is a way to express oneself other than through words. Painting also helps develop a sense of observation and perseverance. Best of all, learning how to paint can be an escape from daily routine, as you work at your own pace and in your own style, freely expressing your emotions.

Though the West Island hockey team now sits in eighth place in the Midget AAA Hockey League of Quebec (LDHMAAAQ) with only three games left in the season, they’ve already secured a playoff berth. On Sunday, the Lions put in a listless performance as they visited a very formidable opponent in the Chateauguay Grenadiers (22-10-7). After a pretty even first period, the Grenadiers upped the intensity and pace of the game, outshooting the Lions 18-12 in the middle frame. Though Ryan Brushett’s 27th goal of the season halved the Grenadier’s 2-0 lead just before the end of the second period, the Lions couldn’t muster any offense in the final period of regulation. In fact, they were outshot 14-3 as Chateauguay scored three unanswered goals on a Lions team that was undisciplined. Lac St. Louis was assessed 13 minor penalties. Grenadiers forward Maxime Comtois was The Lions look to break a two-game losing when they take on the commandears of Levis Friday named first star of the game with a goal and an assist. night at the Dollard civic centre. TC Media – Chronicle Photo DDO set to host Rogers Hometown Hockey 18 - Wednesday January 28, 2015 - The Chronicle - www.westislandchronicle.com ● [email protected] Several National Hockey League (NHL) alums will join the Rogers Hometown Hockey tour which is about to get underway in Dollard des Ormeaux this weekend. Sportsnet’s PJ Stock and John Bartlett, as well as Montreal Canadiens legend Guy Lafleur are just some of the names expected to descend upon the Dollard Civic Centre on Saturday and Sunday to join Canadian sports broadcast icon and Rogers Hometown Hockey host, Ron Maclean. The two-day event begins at noon on Saturday with several free, hockey-themed and interactive activities, and will end on Sunday after the Canadiens take on the Arizona Coyotes at 12:30 p.m. on City. Thousands are expected to take in the game at the outdoor viewing party. This will be Rogers Hometown Hockey’s 16th stop on a 25-city tour, that’s seen an average attendance of 6,000 people from British Columbia to Ontario, according Sebastian Gatica, senior communications manager at Rogers. Among the highlights at the Civic Centre, located at 12001 de Salaberry Blvd, will be a KidZone with an inflatable mini-stick rink and pick up hockey games on McDonald’s Ball Hockey Rink. The tour will visit St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador on February 7-8. For more information, visit www.hometownhockey. com.

The home team got off to a slow start, allowing three unanswered goals through the first 40 minutes of play. Though defenceman Alexander Krief managed to get the Lions on the board just 2:04 into the final period, the goal was matched a minute later when Dean Liarakos beat Ryan Coughlin during Rousseau Royal penalty kill. Laval-Montreal would go on to score another goal to beat Lac St. Louis 5-2. Coughlin made 28 saves in the loss. Week ahead The Lions need to right the ship – and right it quickly. It won’t be easy; they face the best team in the league Friday night in Dollard des Ormeaux as they host the Commandeurs of Levis (33-5) before welcoming the Amos Forestiers (15-19-4) Saturday night.
