Dining at NDG’s

Anancy gives you

memorable Jamaican

food and

culture, tooOnce upon a time, the location that now hosts Restaurant Anancy

(6587 Somerled Ave., 514-486-2629) was a Jewish book store that

morphed into a terrific stationary and magazine shop. What’s

interesting is that, even though food has supplanted

literature as the key item for sale here, the spot

is still a vast repository of knowledge. Owner

George Grant is making sure of that.

Grant, who hails from the Jamaican mountain

village of Mandeville, is extremely

knowledgeable of both his Jamaican history

and the culture of national food that dates

back to when the Spanish were expelled from

Jamaica by the British in the 17th century.

“Food is one way that we Jamaicans have

maintained our history,” Grant maintained.

Take jerk chicken and beef, for instance. When

the Spanish fled to Cuba to escape the British,

they unloaded many of their slaves and

animals. “Hiding in the woods, the slaves

needed to cook the meat to survive, but

they didn’t want to create smoke from

their fires. They cooked the meat in the

ground and this basic method is still used

today.”

Ackee and saltfish with rice is another dish

that has been prepared for hundreds of

years. Jamaican rum and other goods would

be shipped to England. “On the way there,

they would pick up cod from Nova Scotia,

take it back, salt and cure it and then mix it

with local ackee fruit to create a dish that is still

eaten today, in Jamaica…. and at Anancy,” Grant

said.

Actor Sheen has beentroubled for a long, long timeWith Charlie Sheen burning up theentertainment media nowadays, I can’t keepmy mouth shut anymore. Sheen is quitenotorious, but is first and foremost a prettygood actor, the son of screen legend MartinSheen and the brother of actor and directorEmilio Estevez. Sheen’s actual name is Carlos

Estevez. Despite the fact he’s quite talented in his own right, it’s his off-screen antics that mark his career above all else. His drug use, carousingwith prostitutes, abusive actions toward his ex-wife and currentpartner… all these traits point to a very troubled individual.

Well, I can state now that I have more than a random knowledge ofCharlie Sheen’s character. I spent more than a month working with him,when I was the publicist on the 1997 feature film Free Money, mostnoteworthy in that it starred screen legend Marlon Brando in whatwould be the legend’s second-to-last film prior to his death in 2004. TheFilmline International production, which shot in-and-around Montreal,was a pretty horrid film and never screened in theatres, playing insteadon the USA cable network and later released on DVD.

Starring Brando, the film co-starred a fairly impressive cast includingMira Sorvino, Thomas Haden Church (then a newbie to the big-screen)and Sheen. It also re-united Brando and Martin Sheen, who hadappeared together in the seminal war film Apocalypse Now, in whatwas a surprise casting move arranged by the producer.

As publicist, my most challenging role was working with Sheen,primarily on the interview slated for release as part of the ElectronicPress Kit (the standard EPK, or “Making Of “segment). Brando prettymuch ruled the set while he was working, dictating terms as he saw fit.I spent several days trying to get Sheen to agree to do the EPK interviewand one Friday, I was informed that he had agreed to an interview thefollowing day. By this time, about halfway through filming that summer,Sheen had already generated a nasty buzz in Montreal. He was reportedby many witnesses as being drunk and acting erratically throughoutdowntown Montreal – one evening, he was seen drunkenly weavingacross Crescent St. waving his jacket in front of him like a bullfighter, ashe challenged oncoming cars - was regularly seen cavorting withhookers and had his own large trailer, his name emblazoned on theside, in which he was said to host some pretty wild parties. I did notwitness this, but other members of the crew did.

The morning of our interview, the production assistants told me to beready for Sheen early, but I waited 3-4 hours before he finally turned up.To my surprise, he insisted that he would only do the interview ifChurch, with whom he had become buddies on set, would accompanyhim. I had no intention of interviewing Church, whose sole claim tofame at that time was the TV series Wings, but I had no choice. Theinterview took about an hour and, as evidenced by the VHS tape I stillhave in my possession, was total nonsense. Sheen and Church wouldnot answer one question seriously and spent almost the entire timecracking up. The interview was quite unusable.

My only other experience with Sheen directly occurred the night of thewrap party, at some downtown club. Arriving very late and drunk orstoned to the point where he could not walk straight, Sheen made animmediate beeline to my then wife, whom he subsequently tried topick up. It was quite funny, actually, but also sad. The one thing I can sayin Sheen’s defence is that, despite his nightly dalliances with booze,drugs and hookers, he always turned up on set ready to work. I neverheard complaints that he was a liability to the production, although thenegative publicity was certainly an embarrassment. Then again, so wasthe film… and Sheen had nothing to do with an awful script, directing,etc. With the cast they had, this should have been a winningproduction, rather than a mere footnote in history.

I hope Sheen gets his act together before it is too late. Hollywood eatsits young and it would be a shame if he can’t be helped, especially sincehis problems have become so public and, in fact, life-threatening.

Dining at NDG’s Anancy gives you

memorable Jamaican food and

culture, too(continued from cover)

Since opening in January 2008, Anancy has become extremely popular withdiners from all cultural backgrounds, which makes Grant extremely happy. “Iwanted this place to be different, presenting our national cuisine in a mannerthat Jamaicans would enjoy, but that the wider community would beinterested to try, as well. And it’s working… we get people of all races,religions, cultures. Montreal is a pretty good place for that intermingling and Ifeel the people here are very open to exploring our differences.” It is theauthorities worldwide that seem to have a problem with that, he added, notthe majority of the populace.

“Food is a great unifier and it doesn’t have to follow geographic lines toexpand awareness and bring people together.”

One subject that makes Grant extremely unhappy is the new restaurant cashregister system the Quebec government is forcing entrepreneurs to purchase.Big Brother is one step closer to becoming reality. “I am really agonizing aboutit, because as a small businessman, they are forcing me to spend $4,000 onthis new system, called MEV. It will allow Revenue Quebec to scan everydollar that comes into my restaurant. I have nothing to hide, but this hugeexpense hurts smaller restaurants the most and is nothing but one additionalform of government control.”

Still, Grant remains undaunted and he’s not afraid to take risks in business, itseems. It turns out that Anancy is but one of THREE businesses the 48-yearold is operating currently. A practising real estate agent by trade, Grant alsoowns and operates a bagel establishment, of all things, on the South Shore.Brossard Bagel in Greenfield Park churns out bagels in wood-burning ovensthat are easily as good as those at legendary spots such as St. Viateur andFairmount Bagel and is about to expand to two locations, the other to befound on Taschereau Blvd. “Our bagels are authentic hand-rolled and aredelicious, plus we will be adding Jamaican cuisine, as well,” Grant revealed.

Grant ends with a challenge, promising that a visit to the beautifully-appointed, clean and fragrant Anancy will give you the impetus to learn moreabout his proud culture. “Jamaicans are known to be barrier breakers,” hestated. Now that I have a real hankering to sample ox-tail stew for the firsttime, I tend to agree.

Anancy is open for lunch Tuesdays – Fridays from noon till 4:00 p.m. and for supperdaily from 4:00 – 10:00 p.m. They also provide home delivery. Their website is foundat www.anancyrestaurant.com and you can also check out Brossard Bagel atwww.brossardbagel.com.

Rand gone from Q-92?

Anyone know about Aaron Rand’s departure from Q-92? I have heard he finally told station GM Mark Dickie - the one who fired Paul/Tasso and SuzanneDesautels - to shove it and that Cat Spencer is taking over. Pretty reliable source.

Local Morot loses to idol at Oscars

Local F/X wizard Adrien Morot, one of Canada’s best (whose firm, Maestro F/X, handled the aging of Paul Giamati in Barney’s Version) lost an Oscar in the BestMakeup category to his idol, Rick Baker, who won with Dave Elsey for The Wolfman. But having this great guy, whom I’ve worked with many times, merelynominated was a great achievement. Now in his early forties, I estimate, Morot resided in Cote Saint-Luc for a period over a decade ago.

Everybody has a story

I like to read all kinds of literature, but by far Iprefer fact-based books. There is nothing likebeing entertained and educated. I enjoybiographies (both auto and otherwise),memoirs, true crime stories and investigativejournalism. I count among my favouriteauthors David Sedaris and Dave Barry, whotell stories based on their own lives and

experiences seasoned with delicious bits of observational humour.

If you are interested in similar reads:

A few years ago I read I Killed, compiled by Ritch Shydner and MarkSchiff. It is an assembly of stories by stand-up comics, about theirvarious adventures on the road. Given the authors and subjectmatter, one would expect I Killed to be a laugh riot. While there aremore than a few hilarious tales, some are frightening, (where thecomic in question became the target of an angry or violent mob), andothers touching (like a comedian performing before a dying father).

Fired!, written and edited by Annabelle Gurwitch, is an amusingassembly of stories about getting sacked. There are pieces about thefirst jobs of some celebrities, (like driving a cab or working at a deli),and how they were let go and why, as well as tales from everydaypeople. Also interspersed throughout the text are little sectionscalled “Fired Facts” that contain interesting tidbits and statistics aboutemployment and unemployment.

Humorist Patrick McManus’s semi-fictional The Grasshopper Trap wasone of the funniest books I have ever read. It details his childhoodgrowing up in a rural Idaho (as if there any parts of Idaho that are notrural, but I digress) and his current life as an outdoorsman whose wifeand daughters dislike hunting, guns and the “great outdoors” ingeneral.

Ghost Pine:All Stories True, by the very talented Jeff Miller, is anexceptional compilation of his essays from the acclaimed fanzine ofthe same name. In it he details his life growing up in bland suburbanOttawa and his adventures in Montreal’s underground, artsy, newbohemian society. Inspired and brutally honest, Ghost Pine takes thereader into a world average people rarely see. My favourite section iscalled “The Social Justice Club.” Didn’t we all have a similar experiencein high school?

There is no story like a true story.

Ten movie classics you must seeIn preparing film clips for a course I’m teaching on genre in Toronto,I’ve had occasion to see, anew, some classicmovies. A few, such as After Hours, haven’t heldup, but most have. Here then are 10 movieclassics you must see.

Citizen Kane (1941): Orson Welles’s powerfuldrama, loosely based on the life of media tycoonWilliam Randolph Hearst, is a remarkableachievement, utilizing cinematic techniques thatare still startlingly modern. Amazingly, Welles wasonly 27 when it came out.

The Godfather (1972) / The Godfather Part II (1974): Francis FordCoppola’s two gangster epics, relating the tumultuous life of theCorleone family, are perfection itself, from the screenplays to theperformances to the direction. And Nina Rota’s haunting score mayvery well be the best ever composed for the movies.

Tootsie (1982): Dustin Hoffman plays an out of work actor whodecides to re-create himself by dressing as a woman to gainemployment. Directed by Sydney Pollack, Tootsie has a stellar cast,smart dialogue and hilarious situations. A great American comedy.

M (1931): Peter Lorre delivers a stunning performance as a child killerin this disturbing German drama masterfully directed by Fritz Lang.Eighty years later, M still has the power to shock.

Casablanca (1942): What can I say? Humphrey Bogart and IngridBergman in a love story set during World War II. Adventure,excitement and two iconic figures reliving their onscreen past. Play itagain and again.

Beetlejuice (1988): Tim Burton’s dark and funny horror comedyabout a ghost couple who don’t want to leave their home isindescribably original. The set pieces, particularly the sequence setto Harry Belafonte’s ‘Day-O’ have to be seen to be (dis) believed.

North By Northwest (1959) – One of Alfred Hitchcock’s best moviesstill stands out for the classic crop dusting scene with Cary Grantrunning for his life amongst the cornfields. An ingenious suspensemovie.

Carrie (1976): Director Brian De Palma turns Stephen King’s debutnovel into a horror tour de force, the tale of a psychokinetic girl(played beautifully by Sissy Spacek at the start of her stellar career)and the disaster that strikes all around her. Gory, inventive andunforgettable.

A Night at the Opera (1935): The Marx Brothers, Groucho, Chico andHarpo, wreak comic havoc at the opera in one of their best movies.The uproarious cabin sketch is a deserved comedic milestone.

Hollywood the ultimateimage factoryEverything in Hollywood is image. Smoke andmirrors. Manufactured. I know what you arethinking... “Wow Steven, that never occurred tome. Thanks for enlightening us.” Okay, so it is

obvious, it’s what we do here... but when you are in the trenches,trying to make a buck, just trying to get a job and work, everythingseems mighty real. The pain is real, the bills are real, the rejection isreal and one’s desperation is real.

There is nothing like the Academy Awards (heck, the whole awardsseason) and their run-up campaigns to remind you what could bewaiting for you at the other side of the rainbow. In my ultimateimaginary script, the one I have been writing and editing about mylife, I am the Phoenix set to rise, just one little indie film away fromthat red carpet.

What we see from our comfy couches is scripted. The “real” getssupplanted by the image-making machine, to the point oneponders whether or not these rarified people we put on thismanufactured pedestal actually fart like the rest of us. It is allhermetically sealed for our consumption with a “sell by” date. Asdisgusting as they have been, Charlie Sheen’s recent outbursts are,as were Mel Gibson’s before him, cold blasts of ugly reality, examplesof when a life goes off-script. As audiences we crave theseunscripted moments, the drama... the public farting, if you will. Yetwe still yearn for the glorified world embodied by the AcademyAwards... the pubic fake-out.

The other night I attended a low-key event put on by the lovely folksat SCREAMFEST - an annual horror film festival. The crowd wascomprised of directors, writers, actors, make-up artists, etc... a reallywonderful and eccentric group that traditionally works on thefringes of Hollyrock. On this night I spent some time with one FrankIppolito. Frank is an incredibly talented make-up F/X artist - talkabout a guy who knows a thing or two about manufacturing animage! Frank has been plying his trade behind the camera for anumber of years and recently had the dubious honor of discoveringwhat it would be like to suddenly have his life scripted for him. TheSyFy Network here in the US has a reality competition show calledFACE OFF, where young special effects make-up artists are pittedagainst each other not unlike Project Runway. I and my family hadbeen watching religiously. Frank was the first real stand-out on theshow: Stand out ass, that is. He was the show’s villain, but drinkingand yakking with him left me with a completely opposite opinion. Imean, he loved my movie! The guy was so real and engaging,nothing like the Frankie on the show. What’s the world coming to?Even reality show characters are fake!

When we said good-bye, he told me to; “tell your daughter you metFrankie and he was a nice guy - it’s all in the editing, I played thegame.” And he was good! Academy Award good. Ok, maybe not somuch…

n Keeping in touch

One important factor that avid networkersdon't handle adeptly is keeping in touchwith their potential and existing clientele.Entrepreneurs go to networking events,collecting as many business cards as theycan, yet they don't successfully follow upwith their potential customers. An evengreater crime committed by entrepreneursoccurs when they successfully close a sale and thenimmediately move on to the next customer. Why is this acrime, you may ask? Before moving on to your next customer,you have already forgotten about the sale you just closed.What are you doing to thank the customer? What are youdoing to encourage the customer to refer other customers toyou? Where are your after-sale techniques, that could preventyou from taking money out of your pocket without you evenknowing it?

It is much cheaper to keep an existing customer than it is toattract new ones. The first thing you should do is create anewsletter and a list of all of your contacts. Each time youmeet a potential client, or close a sale, you should add theiremail address to your list so that you can keep them up todate with new products, promotions and, most importantly,keep you on top of their mind the next time they need yourproduct or service. That customer will likely feel soappreciated after you kept in touch with them, they willhappily refer their contacts to you. Once they are referred bysomeone who has had a positive experience, your network ofreferrals will keep growing and growing.

Unfortunately, entrepreneurs believe that if a customer ishappy with their product or service, they will automaticallyrefer you to their contacts. Most of the time, you have to askfor referrals, or ask them if they know of anyone who couldbenefit from your products or services. What happens whenyou don't cultivate soil? Your plants don't grow as well, right?The same concept applies to your customers. Another way tocultivate your clientele is to offer them benefits for doingbusiness with you or promoting your product or service. Ifyou are a real estate agent for example, you can offer yourclient the option of having their move or their notary costspaid for, should they do business with you. People lovegetting deals, and if they save a few thousand dollars bydoing business with you, I promise you that they will talk totheir friends and family about you.

If there is one point I want to impress upon you most, let it bethis: The relationship is most important above all else. Makesure that you are kept top of mind by establishing a programthat allows you to keep in touch with your clients. Whether itis an occasional phone call, a birthday card, or a holiday card,these are all effective ways to show you care, you'rethoughtful and that they mean more to you than a sale. Ittakes a little more work to do the extra "keeping in touch," butI am confident that it will send the strong message that youvalue the relationship and want to please them for life.

Q&A on concussions

With so many reportsabout concussions inthe sports mediathese days, we askedour residentphysiotherapist toenlighten us on thematter:

What shouldparents, coaches

and athletes know about concussions?

RV: Concussions are a very seriousmedical issue and should be dealt withby professionals who know andunderstand the injury process andhealing of a concussion. Most athletes Isee for a concussion don’t realize thatthey have or had one.

So you’re saying that people are stillvery unclear on what a concussion is?

RV: Yes that is very true. In a studyperformed on Canadian universityfootball and soccer players on theirperception of concussion symptoms, itshowed that close to 3/4 of themexperienced concussion-like symptomsbut only 1/3 of them realized theyactually had a concussion. This clearlyshows that the need for educationalawareness is required at all levels ofsports and athletics.

Let’

aSo what is a concussion?

RV: Simply put, a concussion is an injury tothe brain. Just like most other sportsinjuries there are gradients of severity thatinvolve inflammation. But instead ofdecreased range of motion following anankle injury there is decreased mentalstatus and function in the case of aconcussion.

How does it occur?

RV: A concussion will occur from a directblow to the head, an impact causing asudden head movement similar to awhiplash or an indirect contact resultingin the head contacting the ground, ice orsnow surfaces.

What are the signs and symptomscoaches, parents and athletesthemselves should be aware of?

RV: Most common signs of a concussioninclude: headaches, being dazed or dizzy,memory difficulties, nausea, blurred visionand fatigue. But parents and coaches needto be alert to any sudden changes inawareness of the athlete. Skiers sufferingfrom a concussion will often ask manyquestions and repeat the same questions.Be aware of any changes in personality…the person could becomeuncharacteristically aggressive, forexample. They could also show changes inability or loss of coordination. You have to

remember, as well, that a concussion is a serious medical injury and only trainedprofessionals can do a proper evaluation.Being aware of the signs and symptomscan, however, prevent further damage.

But isn’t unconsciousness a determiningfactor in the severity of a concussion?

RV: Absolutely not. The study discussedpreviously showed that even athletes whoconsidered themselves to only havingtheir “bell rung” had concussionsymptoms. You can suffer a severe headtrauma without losing consciousness. Infact, most concussions do not involve lossof consciousness.

So why is a concussion considered soserious?

RV: It is a serious medical condition mainlybecause of the possibility of long termdamage and disability occurring. Anotherconsideration is the limited ability of thebrain to heal itself. Once brain tissue andnerve complexes within the brain aredamaged, they do not repair themselves.The last and maybe the most significant isthe repeat factor. Concussions arecumulative injuries, the more youexperience, the more severe the damageand the longer it takes to recover aftereach one.

Billy Geez: Mainly because of the meat… and the mingleWhen last we visited with Angelo Anzovino and Mark Fraser, owners of NDG’s BistroBilly Geez restaurant (6254 Somerled, corner Grand Blvd., 514-487-0876), the placewas crowded, as is often the case. Weekdays at lunch-time, when students burstthrough the doors in anticipation of their favourite foods, or Saturday afternoons,when it is thick with families, Billy Geez is legendary to locals who have becomeregulars over the years.

For the rest of us, visiting and trying a burger here for the first time is something ofa revelation. So, when Billy Geez became a contestant in this paper’s first-everburger competition, it was with a skeptical eye that anyone here considered thatthey just might emerge victorious. In fact, it was only through the urging of aformer student who overindulged here once too often that they were included at

all. Yet, at contest’s end, they actually emerged as a co-winner, proving that theregulars had loads of common sense, and extremely good taste, after all.

For 20 years now, Anzovinohas lovingly taken care of his diners, inviting his brother-in-law, Fraser, to join thehappy mayhem more recently. We spoke with them both regarding why Billy Geezhas become such a popular entity on the local business scene. “I think the meat weuse has a lot to do with it,” Anzovino said. “It is supplied fresh daily and we certainlygo through enough of it. But it also has a lot to do with the special secret sauce weuse on our burgers, sauce that is made for us by a senior woman who hails fromGrenada.” True enough, ask any fan about Billy Geez’s burgers and they all mentionthe sauce, two special sauces, in fact, as well as the melt-in-your-mouth burger patty.

The NDG-raised Anzovino, a graduate of Marymount High, has been in the business along time, having worked as a bartender at TGI Fridays on Cathcart prior to takingover this establishment. Fraser, also from NDG, attended Concordia, studyingpsychology and sociology before working at various businesses. “I liked the place a lotand when Angelo invited me to join him, I thought it would be great to keep it in thefamily,” Fraser said. “All my buddies come by, and all sorts of people come here toenjoy a meal and to mingle, so it’s a great, happening place to work, never dull.”

One thing about Billy Geez is that it is a small-but-comfortable place to go if you wantsomething that’s fast to cook, but slow and enjoyable on the savourability scale. Theprices are also very affordable, so while you’ll leave full, you’ll feel like you’ve spentnothing at all. Many people like to stop in to watch Habs games and other sportingevents while chowing down, so make Bistro Billy Geez your next leisure destination.
