Report: Lakeshore General
to add hospital beds

The hospital, which serves over 215,000
residents of the West Island, will add 20 general medicine beds and 10 surgical beds, according to a source.
“This announcement represents an historic
opportunity for our HSSC to develop and better respond to the needs of our population that
continues to grow and age,” said the Health
and Social Services Centre (HSSC) West
Island in an internal email, obtained by the
Chronicle, that was sent to LGH staff.
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

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.

West Island Chamber
reassures local labour force
● [email protected]
The West Island shouldn’t have difficulty in attracting new
businesses to the area after it was hit hard, last week, by closures
and layoffs in the retail and manufacturing sector, according to
the executive director of the West Island of Montreal Chamber
of Commerce.
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.
And it won’t be easy to fill, including the Pointe Claire out- giants that could be or would be interested in filling the space Inc. said it was outsourcing jobs at its Pointe Claire distribution

“As any one can imagine, there would be very few retail
The closures were announced just days after Avon Products
Though it’s unclear how many will lose their job, a company spokesperson did say that the “majority will lose their job.”
The CLD West Island said news of the job cuts is an
example of the fragile state of Quebec’s recovering economy.
“It’s always sad for those people that are affected by the economic conditions we have here in Quebec,” the CLD’s director
general Nicolas Roy told the Chronicle on Jan. 14.
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.

The year-long campaign will cost $48,000.
The library’ 16,000 subscribers and the
general public will enjoy a dozen of special
activities throughout the year to mark the anniversary, added the mayor.
“They can take advantage of our services
and enjoy making discoveries in a stimulating
environment. This makes our community
more interesting and more dynamic,” he said,
referring to the library’ subscribers.
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.

HOW DO YOU ASSIST RESIDENTS
AND THEIR FAMILIES?
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. That’s our greatest
strength, and that’s how we make a difference.

The daily challenge of what to cook for
a hungry and fussy family can be a frustrating experience for the person in
charge of supper — especially if the feedback is not usually applause! 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.
Maybe your family will even treat you to
another course!

comfort an accident victim without aggravating their injuries. 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.
Something for everyone
When we’re used to a packed routine
anchored by a full-time job, it may seem
strange to add even more to our weekly
schedule with a night class. But making
time for ourselves and our interests does a
world of good and helps us go back to routine and family energized and nourished.
Whether you’re looking for a way to have
fun, learn about a new subject, or meet
people with similar interests, you’re sure to

Get moving and stay fit!
“This is the year I’m finally going to get
in shape!” For so many of us, January
means new (or renewed) resolutions to get
moving, lose weight, and get healthy. 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.

Do you
Most people own digital cameras these
days. But how many of us really know how
to use them properly? There is so much
more to a digital camera than the automatic
settings.
The best way to make the most of your
digital camera is to take some classes in
photography or at least attend a basic photography workshop. As well as becoming
more knowledgeable about your camera,
10206 – Médias – 28 et 29 janvier 2015
you will learn to take some great photos by
using the manual settings. Notions such as
exposure, focusing, use of the flash, and
shutter speed are not that difficult to master. In just a few weeks you should be able
to use your camera to its full potential.
As well as learning various techniques,
attending a series of photography classes
will enable you to develop your “eye”, or
your ability to compose a stirring

portrait. 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. Usually classes are composed of
small groups so that everyone receives the digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera or
attention they require. Course require- having a compact camera that has a manual
ments may include knowing how to use a override.
Did you know that you don’t need any
knowledge of drawing in order to learn
how to paint? In fact, the only requirement to register for a painting class is
simple: the desire to create. So, even
though you may never have held a paint
brush in your life, you can still embark on
a fascinating journey into the world of
art, colour, and self-expression.

canvas, wood, or metal are offered in most
communities. 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.

helping wrap gifts at Fairview pointe claire from Nov. 22 to Dec. 24, 2014. The more than 175
volunteers that filled more than 600 man-hours required to take care of clients at our two giftwrapping kiosks in the mall allowed the Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation to take further
steps in its mission, which is to advance the state of patient care at the Lakeshore General Hospital
through the purchase of equipment not funded by the government. Their efforts helped the
Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation bring in more than $34,000 toward the purchase of a fetal
monitoring system, which will allow expectant mothers and their doctors better peace of mind
throughout the delivery process. The Lakeshore General Hospital Foundation would like to extend

Lions listless in weekend losses
Lac St. Louis sit in eighth place; playoff spot already clinched
● [email protected]
The Lac St. Louis Lions (21-16-2) were
drubbed over the weekend, losing by scores of
5-1 and 5-2 to Chateauguay and LavalMontreal, respectively.
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.

● [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

saves in the loss.
48 hours earlier
The Lions were just as bad on Friday night
as they hosted the lowly Rousseau Royal of
Laval-Montreal (12-20-6) at the Dollard Civic
Centre.
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.
