The lease will allow the Wing to stay put until 2018.

Summer would not get into specifics about the agreement, but did say it will help his agency secure grants to help pay for some much-needed repairs at the Cornwall landmark on the city’s waterfront, which includes a jet fighter outside the main building.

“We’re going to be staying here for a while,” he said.

In the past the Wing has bemoaned the fact that it was unable to secure a longer-term lease with the federal government, which would help it secure grant money to help repair its building.

Mark MacDonald, who worked previously to help the Wing secure a lease agreement, was pleased with the news.

“I’m thrilled about it. It’s awesome,” he said.

“It gives them some breathing room.”

Summers said the specific lease agreement documents have not yet been signed, but that should take place in the coming days.

Labour council endorses nine for council TODD LIHOU

National Foster Family Week

Girlfriend choked

A Cornwall man smacked his girlfriend and then tried to choke her, before taking off with her purse.

Police said Tuesday the 49-year-old Cornwall man was arrested Monday and charged with robbery and overcoming resistance. On Monday during an argument with his 38-year-old girlfriend the man struck her with an open hand, choked her then left with her purse.

MacDonald, Heather Megill, Andre Rivette and Guy St-Jean.

The Cornwall and District Labour Council sent questionnaires to declared municipal candidates concerning issues related to the campaign - but some have complained they never received the documentation after filing their paperwork.

Louise Lanctot, political action chair with the labour council, told Seaway News questions were circulated and answers were disseminated in advance of the Sept. 12 deadline for candidates to file their nomination papers so that there would be enough time to formulate opinions on who to endorse.

There have been complaints from other jurisdictions about candidates who missed out, as well.

“It was a problem all across the province,” Lanctot said in a previous interview.

The Cornwall and District Labour Council is part of the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).

The labour council is urging union members in Cornwall to consider its list of endorsements when voting this year.

Tax pledge controversy

Twenty three candidates for city council have signed a pledge to mitigate skyrocketing taxes in Cornwall.

But those who didn't want you to know why. Andre Rivette, an incumbent who refused to sign the pledge, said it takes more than one individual to make a difference at the council table.

From October 19 - 25, 2014, OACAS and Children’s Aid Societies recognize the vital contributions that foster families make to the lives of children and youth in care.

When children cannot remain at home due to safety concerns, the preferred option is to place the child with their immediate or extended family or a member of the community. If that is not possible, foster care may be the best alternative.

Shay settlement figure discussed at city hall TODD LIHOU

miffed that the in-camera meeting has been scheduled just a week before the looming municipal election. Others are also suggesting they want the matter to go to court, instead of settling things beforehand.

Seaway News reached out to other sources following Monday’s meeting, who confirmed the subject matter, but would not get into details about what comes next for the city and Shay.

Shay is suing the city for $425,000, plus costs, to compensate her for harassment she endured after blowing the whistle on a suspected case of elder abuse at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge.

Shay, currently on long-term disability, said in an interview last month since initiating her lawsuit

todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - City council met behind closed doors this afternoon to mull offering a whistleblower as much as $250,000 to settle her lawsuit, Seaway News has learned.

A source has confirmed the details are in relation to a $425,000 lawsuit launched against the city by Diane Shay, who worked at the Glen-StorDun Lodge.

The source added the city is hoping for a settlement that is slightly less, but wants to set the bar at $250,000. Councillors must agree to the move.

The source said some city councillors are

in January the city has yet to file a response to her request for documents and has made the decision to speak out concerning her ordeal in hopes of educating the public about the plight of whistleblowers.

“This is not so much about money. This is to communicate...how whistleblowers are treated,” she said.

The city pleaded guilty in 2011 to retaliating against Shay, who made a complaint on her own to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care about an incident at the lodge. As a result of her decision to go the ministry to file a complaint, which is mandated by law, the city began a cam-

paign of abuse against her.

The city was fined $15,000, though specific charges against then city human resources manager Robert Menaugh were shelved.

Menaugh has since been relieved of his duties and replaced and then CAO Paul Fitzpatrick has retired.

Shay has complained that that isn’t enough.

She wasn’t even afforded the opportunity to read a victim-impact statement into the court record, which is now something that often takes place.

Shay’s lawsuit seeks $350,000 in aggravated and punitive damages, as well as $75,000 in special damages, plus legal costs.

made their way into the hands of management at the lodge, resulted in Johnston losing five days pay - and she once again attacks the city for failing to allow her union representation while being investigated for sending the letters.

“After four years, I’ve decided to come forward, hesitantly,” she said in her open letter that was circulated Friday. “In hopes to give perspective that whistleblowers are indeed penalized for bringing forth concerns and that many failures exist within the hierarchy of governance.”

Johnston was initially suspended for several weeks, including losing five weeks pay but negotiations between her union and the city saw the penalty reduced to five days without pay.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A nurse who twice forwarded anonymous letters to city council detailing mismanagement and a toxic work environment at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge has gone public as a self-described whistleblower.

Julie Johnston is demanding nearly wholesale changes around the city council table, with just days to go before the municipal election set for Oct. 27.

Among her accusations is that twice in December, 2010 she sent letters to Mayor Bob Kilger and the balance of city council detailing her concerns about the lodge.

She asserts none of the city councillors received the letters.

Johnston goes on to suggest that the working conditions were so bad at the lodge that resident care was being affected.

Memorial honours Irish Famine immigrants CORNWALL, Ontario - A new Celtic cross marks both a time in Cornwall’s history and the first phase of a local Irish Famine monument project.

At an unveiling ceremony in Lamoureux Park on Saturday, dozens marked the memory of 52 men, women, and children who left the famine-ravaged land of 1840s Ireland for Cornwall, Ont., only to die a few short years later of typhoid in a temporary hospital, known as a fever shed.

Katie Burke, Irish Memorial committee chair, told the crowd huddled inside in a large white tent beside the Cornwall Community

Museum where the new Celtic cross towered in the rain that it was 167 years to the day that the hospital closed its doors.

“This memorial is for the survivors and their descendants who told their stories to keep them alive, and to all of us who have been marked by these events and now leave a marker to help others remember,” said Burke.

The committee thanked their supporters and announced that future fundraising projects will go towards inscribing the monument with the names of Dr. Bergin and Dr. MacDonald, whose public health practices ensured that Cornwall citizens were safe from typhoid, as well as the names of the Irish immigrants who perished in the fever shed.

City Limits robbed by rooftop thieves Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Burglars walked away with a safe, cash and even a wheelbarrow after forcing their way through the roof of City Limits Bar & Grill earlier this week.

Provincial police say the heist happened between late Monday night and early Tuesday morning at the South Stormont establishment on Cornwall Centre Road.

Staff member Joanne Saucier walked Seaway News through the crime scene in an exclusive interview Friday.

“We’re all shocked,” said Saucier. “I’d like to know who did it. According to the cops, there were up to five or six involved.”

It all started with an early morning phone call from the breakfast cook who informed her that the kitchen’s ceiling was heavily damaged.

Initially, Saucier chalked it up to an unusual mishap, until she checked the bathrooms. The men’s had a large hole, but even worse was the one in the women’s stalls.

“That’s when I realized this was very serious,” she said.

The crew of thieves gained entry through the ladies’ bathroom after scaling massive steel bins behind the restaurant and forcing their way through the roof. Fingerprints and footprints were still scattered across the scene.

In addition to all the damage, their metal safe and an undisclosed amount of money was stolen.

Bill Wong, project manager for City Limits, dismissed any notions of an “inside job” since the robbers entered from a part of the rooftop located directly beside a trap door.

The robbery has left Saucier shaken and afraid to do her job for the first time since she started four years ago.

“I really hope they don’t come back, but a lot of times they do,” she said.

City Limits and the SD&G OPP are asking for the public’s assistance in finding the people responsible.

“It would be a huge plus if anyone could help identify them,” added Saucier.

If you have any information, contact the SD&G OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Samson reverses himself during bizarre press conference Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Coun. Gerry Samson held a bizarre press conference Monday in front of city hall where he announced his intention to skip any more in-camera meetings prior to next week’s election - only to reverse himself when pressed minutes later.

Samson was railing against a last-minute private session at city hall Monday where sources tell Seaway News councillors will mull a

$250,000 settlement for whistleblower Diane Shay.

While Samson wouldn’t talk about the specifics of Monday’s agenda, he launched into a thundering diatribe against too many in-camera sessions - but minutes later was walking in the front door of city hall.

Samson was queried by journalists about his obligation to attend such meetings, which likely led to his change of heart.

“I as a city councillor will not sit at any further closed-door meetings

prior to this election,” Samson said to kick-off his rain-soaked press conference. It should be noted that there is just one week to go before the Oct. 27 election and no other meetings are on the books.

It was pointed out to Samson that he has an obligation to attend private sessions.

“By being there it causes a cloud of mistrust.

I don’t want to be part of that, because I had nothing to do with it,” he said, moments before attending the meeting anyway.

It was further suggested to the incumbent

city councillor that by abstaining from voting on any matters in-camera, the ultimate decision of council could be changed.

Samson: “That’s true. I didn’t consider that.

Any others (questions)?”

Then a resident, presumably a man who simply decided to attend Samson’s press conference, suggested: “If you don’t attend, you’ll never know what went on in there either...I think you should go in.”

That was enough for Samson.

“I think I will...I’ve changed my mind,” he said.

With any

opinion

Another lodge nurse comes forward with complaints Todd Lihou

December, 2010 – one set was delivered to city hall by her brother for some reason, while another was dropped off by a delivery service – were unsigned.

I’m not sure exactly what the letters said (they have not been made public), but she admits they were anonymous.

You know what we do with unsigned letters in the newspaper business? Nothing.

That’s not to say we don’t read them, or even investigate their contents…but we sure as hell don’t run them. The reason is simple – if you’re not going to stand behind the suggestions of your letter by signing it, we aren’t either.

It would not surprise me to learn that such a policy, even a tacit one, exists at city hall.

So…did senior management and city council, including Mayor Bob Kilger, wilfully suppress a complaint from Johnston who was trying to alert them to problems at the lodge? Or were they ignoring an unsigned document from a mystery person?

Johnston had this to say when I posed the scenario to her: “I’m not even going to go there.

I have my own interpretation of that.”

Johnston obviously had some serious misgivings four years ago – well before the theatrics of this election campaign.

She said she was fearful of what a signed letter would do to her…but I’m not so sure she fits the bill of a whistleblower like Diane Shay.

It sounds more to me like her story is being trotted out days before the election to attempt to influence voters.

I’ve spoken with people since Johnston’s letter went public, including those from all facets of the political spectrum.

Most mention two things: despite her altruistic intentions Johnston’s union could not keep her from being punished and she now says everything is just fine at the lodge.

And if that is the case, why make a big deal of it days before the election? This smacks of politics, plain and simple.

Johnston admits as much – she’s called for changes at city hall.

Add to that Kilger’s opponents in the election knew about Johnston and her letter before the rest of us did.

Who is Julie Johnston – and is she, in fact, a whistleblower?

Two questions to ponder as you head to the polls next week to choose just who should be a member of city council for the next four years.

Johnston penned an open letter to the public last week - this one she actually signed - that detailed her misgivings years ago concerning the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge and what she felt at the time was a toxic work environment that was affecting resident care.

Things are fine now, but we’ll get to that.

In her letter last week she goes to great pains to suggest she is a whistleblower – a person, who at great personal risk, blows the lid off a series of problems at a given institution to alert the greater good.

Is she such a person? Depends on who you believe.

Some media outlets (and others who think they are) not to mention those arguing for wholesale changes around the city council table, support the notion that she fits the bill of someone who has exhausted great personal expense to alert the public to conditions at the lodge.

But let’s look at some facts, or at least Johnston’s version of same.

Long-shot candidate Jamie Gilcig made mention of her last week at the chamber of commerce debate. Sources tell me candidates for councillor who have cozied up to fellow candidate Leslie O’Shaughnessy during this campaign were openly talking about a new “whistleblower ” days before Gilcig’s admission.

Is what Johnston did wrong? Not at all – she has every right in the world to go public with her accusations.

But I find it interesting that Kilger has been attacked for being underhanded and sneaky, when one could make the argument that is exactly what took place last week when Johnston’s letter went public.

I for one believe Johnston had serious issues with the way things were being done at the lodge way back in 2010.

As she rightly points out in her letter, people who go public like she did know they are setting themselves up for grief, so they better be passionate (read: correct) about their beliefs.

The problem she faces is that the legitimacy of her complaints, which would have likely escaped criticism had they been made public years ago, will now go under the microscope for all time because they have been tainted by politics.

Johnston told me she kept quiet out of fear.

She also suggested elected officials were put in place to protect her - but how could they know who she was when her letters were unsigned?

The final question in this sordid tale is how will her assertions be interpreted by voters?

Consider this…I believe the mayoral race in Cornwall was settled long before Johnston went public. The election may be days away, but if you’re voting in the Seaway City you already know whether Kilger or O’Shaughnessy is your man. Or Gilcig, if you want to throw your vote away.

So if the reason for going public now is political maybe, just maybe, she did this for nothing because the voters have already decided.

Then one has to ask themselves – was it worth it?

ELECTION NOTES: MONDAY’S SPECTACLE: God bless Gerry Samson – he’s trying. But if your battle cry in support of the incumbent is “he means well” then perhaps his strategy for future press conferences needs to be re-examined.

Samson held a presser Monday to announce he wouldn’t attend any more in-camera meetings at city hall until after the election.

Never mind that the election is just days away, and no other such meetings are planned, but half way through his press conference, following a couple of questions from yours truly and my buddy Bill Kingston (not to mention a suggestion from some guy who just happened to be there) Samson changed his mind.

Press conference over – thanks for coming out. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

POLICE INVESTIGATION?: Mayoral candidate Jamie Gilcig wants an investigation, perhaps by the cops (sigh), following our report this week on the Diane Shay matter – the one where we outed city council on the contents of its in-camera meeting Monday night.

Gilcig, according to an email he penned to clerk Helen Finn, is miffed because there are too many leaks at city hall.

“I think this requires prompt urgent action and possibly calling in the CCPS,” he whined.

Gilcig, who has his own issues concerning the CCPS (that’s Cornwall Community Police Service, by the way), has a “hunch” he knows the source.

Trust me my friend – you don’t.

COGECO CRAZINESS: In addition to up-tothe-minute coverage of election results at cornwallseawaynews.com, it seems the brass at TV Cogeco have run out of pundits for election night.

They’ve asked a lowly newspaper editor, who gets nervous talking to more than three people at once, to be part of their election night analysis.

Good thing I bought that new suit.

The latest salvo in the human resources saga has been fired just in time to cause some damage to election hopes for incumbents. It was an open secret that the letter from Julie Johnson about her whistleblower experience was coming; it was mentioned obliquely at the debate last week and there have been several hints about it over the past few weeks. So, the timing wasn’t just coincidence. But that’s politics. If anything, it provides some context to the missing mail issue that Leslie O’Shaughnessy has been referring to. No doubt he expects to be a big beneficiary from this. I’m less certain.

The issues aren’t new; they’re yet another replay of the never-ending story from three years ago. We learned nothing directly related to the incumbents running for office, but it feeds the perception of a continuing accountability and

E A M W O R K E R

transparency problem at the city. And perceptions seem to rule in politics. In my view, they’re milking this one cow to death.

Saying you’re going to be transparent is the easy part. From our side of the glass it’s much simpler to point out errors after the whistle has blown. I don’t think any one of the current council believes they couldn’t have done some things differently or better. They’ve learned some hard and important lessons, but the city overall is better off now because of that. I haven’t always agreed with the actions of the present council, but I’m not convinced there have been any deliberate attempts to mislead the public or conduct shady deals.

It’s possible this latest revelation will have some impact on voters, but it’s more likely that we’ve had our fill and want to move on. We need a team that is going to look after our future interests, not one that is firmly fixed on the past.

That said, there is room for change on council. In fact, some new perspectives and fresh ideas are essential if we want to keep up with an evolving city. I think the focus on economic development and long term planning is the right one and we should select candidates who are best equipped to contribute to that going forward. Our economy would certainly benefit from a local arts centre and university, so it makes sense to give both of them some support.

Taxes will always be a sore point. They’re a great topic to rally the masses and catch our attention, but we need to be mindful that election promises are often the first casualties on the rock of reality. Once the new group actually sits down and goes through a budget exercise, a lot of the motivation will be lost among the numbers. The incumbents know this; that’s why their comments have sounded a note of

caution. We need people who will know when to temper their ideals with reality.

It’s unfortunate that we don’t have many opportunities to hear more from the 28 contenders for council. In the debates, they’re squashed into two or three minute set speeches with no allowance for questions. After listening to about half of them, the brain starts to go fuzzy trying to remember who said what, a lot of which was the same thing said in different ways. There is no easy way to deal with such large numbers, but it’s just not enough for making informed choices and there’s no “try before you buy.”

These are all important issues and if they really do matter to voters, there should be a lot more of them in the voting booths on Monday.

Whatever the outcome, that would be a plus for democracy.

And that’s the way I see it.

Combat vets still on the front lines when they return home Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario – The war mask Micael Duguay wore for months as a combat veteran in Afghanistan is still visible – but he’s doing his best to keep it under wraps.

Duguay is one of the nameless, often faceless veterans of war who return to society forever changed by the trauma and pressure of living within a zone of comfort that only extends to the tip of one’s rifle.

And he has struggled with that reintegration.

Fits of heavy drinking, suicidal thoughts, police charges and a feeling of abandonment by his fellow troops and the government that sent him to war have dominated the Long Sault resident’s return to Canada.

“I can’t even remember who I was before my first tour, it’s as if I was brain washed,” he said. “I can tell you one thing for certain: I (felt) completely insane with no comprehension of how

normal people act in our modern society.”

Even something as simple as waiting in line at the bank became troubling. His reaction to stress in Afghanistan was to lash out to survive.

But that didn’t play well at the bank.

Duguay is speaking out about his experiences for a few reasons, but most specifically to educate the public about what it is like for veterans to return from combat – and about how they can appear marginalized because they lack the tools to make the monumental transition into “normal” life.

“My life spiraled out of control and no one was there to help me,” he said. “It started with a DUI with serious binge drinking and constant bar fights.” What followed was a conviction and a 30-day jail sentence.

The Globe and Mail reported in August that the federal government has been trying to support soldiers exhibiting mental-health issues, but some returning soldiers like Duguay have expressed fears that they will be medically

discharged from the military if they seek help for their problems.

Indeed Duguay was released from his duties as a reservist, after 17 years of service.Duguay said despite claims that the Canadian Forces have implemented policies to help soldiers suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), there are veterans like him who slip through the cracks. A survey of thousands of returning Afghanistan veterans this summer suggested the rate of PTSD among members of the Canadian Forces has nearly doubled since 2002.

Duguay is not surprised.

“When people don’t fit into the society that they are meant to live in or are rejected by a group they do two things,” he said. “One, they turn to radical ideas and use radical actions to get noticed. Two, they take their own lives.

“We have a chance to help veterans and put them into productive jobs but instead we choose to label them and turn our back.”

Duguay said he has wrestled with his demons

Micael Duguay, while on duty in Afghanistan.

for years and in some respects has won his personal war. The suicidal thoughts have been shelved, and he no longer struggles with something as simple as waiting in line at the bank.

The challenge now is rebuilding his life, at 40, after such a monumental shift.

Paint Quicker and More Evenly with a Roller: Although painting a wall is something nearly anyone can do, there are things you can do to save time and give more uniform results when rolling paint onto walls. Instead of putting paint in a pan, put it in a 5-gallon bucket.

You can mix more than one gallon and if there is any colour variation between the paint, it will blend into one when the cans are mixed together. Drop a painter’s screen into the bucket and hang it on the side then dip the roller directly into the paint in the bucket and roll the excess off onto the screen. Using a bucket, you will have far fewer interruptions to refill the roller pan, and if you keep the bucket close to the wall, you will spend almost

Hours: Mon.-Fri: 8am-5pm www.rayjans.com

no time reloading. Place the fully charged roller near the top of the wall and make one long stroke from the top all the way down to the bottom and then back up again. Recharge the roller, move over about one roller’s width, and repeat the process.

After you’ve made three or four stripes, come back and blend them together. This technique will save you time and help you avoid what painters call “holidays,” which are the spots on the wall where you didn’t get quite enough paint.

Childproof Power Tools: To a child playing in a basement or a garage, a power tool might look like a toy. That could lead to disaster. Here’s a simple way

to childproof your power tools. Insert a key ring into the hole in the end of the plug just like you would put on a key. The ring will prevent the plug from being inserted into a receptacle. When it comes time to use the tool, it is simple to slip the ring out.

Driving Screws into Hard Wood: Driving a large screw into hard wood like oak can be difficult, but these tips will make it easier. First, be sure to choose the right driver tip for your drill. There are three different-sized Phillip bits. Number one is for very small screws; number two is for medium screws; and number three is for large screws. You can tell the number three bit by its blunt end. After selecting the right bit, lubricate the screw with either soap or wax. If the threads run the full length of the screw, then so should the wax. If you have the right bit for the

right screw, and you have lubricated your threads, driving the screw should be fairly easy going.

Removing a Nail From a Wall: Trying to pull a nail out of the wall using a hammer can have unintended consequences.

Instead, use a wide putty knife to protect the wall. Grip the nail near the base with a pair of end-cutting pliers, rock the pliers to the side, then regrip the nail as low as possible. Repeat till the nail can be pulled out.

Prevent Heat Loss with New Windows: Cold winter weather can really drive your heating bills up, especially if you have single paned windows. Replacing those windows with dual-glazed windows can cut down on the amount of heat lost by up to 600%. Not only can this reduce your overall heating bill by as much as 25% but it will also be a lot more comfortable to sit in front of a window!

use insulation wrapped in a breathable perforated poly sleeve. Once the cavities between the joists are full, additional layers of insulation should be applied perpendicular to the joists.

Garage Floor Protection: Is winter taking its toll on your garage floor? Is it all salt and grime when you open the door? In cold climates lots of salt and road grime accumulate under your car. Due to whatever else might be in you garage, and temperatures that might be below freezing, hosing down the floor is not always an easy option for quick cleanups. Over time the mess gets worse, and surface gunk starts becoming permanent stains. Salt left for

long periods is bad for concrete, too. So what’s a homeowner to do? Sealing goes a long way toward keeping concrete in good shape. It makes cleanups easier, too.

Painting a garage floor helps, but has its down side -- like peeling and lifting where tires sit overnight. A better solution is specific concrete sealers. They’re available at your local hardware store. Generalpurpose water sealants are OK, too, but will have to be applied more often to remain effective. Either way, a good cleaning first and proper preparation (per directions) are a must.

Self-Measuring Bucket: If you need to add a precise amount of water to mix a dry material, you can create a self measuring bucket by simply boring a couple of holes in the side. When the water reaches the prescribed level, the excess simply runs out, guaranteeing a consistent quantity each time.

Insulate an Attic: Up to 45% of your home’s energy can be lost through an inadequately insulated attic. Adding insulation is a very easy way to save money on your energy bill, make your home more comfortable, and add to your resale value. Most attics have between 3 and 6 inches of insulation, but they recommend up to 12 to keep those heating and air conditioning bills under control in most parts of the country. If the top of your insulation is below the top of the joist, then you’ll need to add more, laying it in the same direction to bring it up flush with the top. If you add more insulation, don’t use the type with a paper vapor barrier; it can trap moisture between the layers. Instead

removal tool, called a Grabit, which has a reamer on one end and the remover on the other end. To use the Grabit, first load it into your cordless drill with the reamer end out and set the forward reverse switch to reverse.

Apply moderate pressure as the reamer quickly cuts a cone shaped depression. Next, loosen the drill chuck and reverse the tool so the remover end protrudes. Start the drill very slowly, again in reverse. As you apply pressure, the screw begins to back out. The Grabit comes in two sizes, one for large screws and one for small. With a set of these in your pocket, stripped screw problems are a thing of the past.

You can also get a combination CO and smoke alarm. When the alarm goes off, a recorded voice that tells you whether it’s a carbon monoxide emergency or a fire.

It is recommended that you have a carbon monoxide alarm on each level of your home.

But if you only have one, be sure to install it outside the sleeping area. And remember, CO alarms don’t last forever. If yours is more than five years old, it may be time to replace it.

Tips for brightening your basement: • Paint the walls lighter colours.

• Hang dark, contrasting wall hangings, pictures, and paintings on light-coloured walls.

• Use dark molding or wallpaper trim on

light-coloured walls.

• Make the basement more pleasant by concealing ductwork, papering or painting drywall, use area rugs or carpet, place furniture appropriately, and installing a ceiling.

• Use warm and contrasting bright colours in the room decor.

• Use mirrors to brighten dark areas, making sure that they reflect existing light to dark areas.

• Use artificial plants since there may not be enough sunlight to allow real plants to prosper.

• Most basements incorporate the use of fluorescent lighting, but that type of lighting tends to be harsh. Instead, use table lamps and indirect lighting to create a cozy atmosphere.

• Place light tile as flooring, and use brightly coloured pillows on a dark couch to encourage contrast.

How to Keep Contents in Your Drawer from Sliding: Some people find that the sound of sliding utensils when they open and close kitchen drawers can be quite annoying.

A non-slip shelf liner works very well to prevent that. If you have several drawers of the same size then cut the liners by first making a cardboard or plywood template.

Place the template on top of the liner, take a razor blade, and cut as many liners as you need. Even if your liner fits perfectly, you may still find that it’s impossible to get all of the wrinkles out. To prevent this, put a light coating of spray adhesive on the back of the liner. Then, while it’s still tacky, drop it into the drawer. The result is no slip, no slide and best of all, no noise.

Remove Stripped Screws with a Grabit: There aren’t many things that are more frustrating than a stripped out screw head.

You can’t drive it in and you can’t back it out. But there is a solution -- a new screw

Interconnected/Wireless Alarms: During a house fire, time is precious Families have just minutes to escape.

The sooner you hear a smoke alarm, the sooner you can get out. Introducing the next level i n f i r e protection: t h e interconnected w i r e l e s s smoke alarm s y s t e m from Kidde.

Featuring the first UL-listed s m o k e alarms, the Kidde W i r e l e s s System links alarms together so that when one sounds, they all sound. Its interconnected protection without any wiring!

Complete Fire Safety Plan: Are you ready for an emergency in your home?

Do you know what it takes to save your life? Your children’s lives? Kidde, the world’s largest manufacturer of fire safety products, encourages you to develop a complete fire safety plan for your home. The plan includes working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms on every level and near sleeping areas, fire extinguishers within reach and a fire

escape plan.

G e t the valance just right: Follow just one simple rule for proper proportion. When you’re measuring for window treatments,

think about how deep you want your valance to be. You don’t want it too shallow from top to bottom since it will look long and narrow. If it’s too deep, you’ll cover up too much of the window or it could look topheavy. No guesswork needed! To get it just right, decide where you want to place the top of the valance. Measure from there to the floor or sill. Divide that measurement by 5 or 6. The number you get will tell you how deep the valance should be to provide a window treatment with good proportions.

Preserving an Open Tube of Caulk: Have you finished a caulking job and discovered that you still have a significant amount of caulk left in the tube that you don’t want to waste? This simple tip can preserve that unused

caulk... at least for a while. Take an electrical wire nut and simply screw it on the end of the caulk tube. This technique works well for glue bottles and even containers that hold the chalk dust for a chalk line.

Wire nuts are available in different sizes indicated by different colors.

I f the first size doesn’t fit, just try another one!

Protect Moulding When Hammering: Do you get a little nervous when you are hammering finishing nails into moulding? Are you afraid that you might miss and put a dent in the moulding? Here’s a way to keep that from happening. Take a thin piece of wood, and bore a hole in the end of it. Slip the hole over the nail and then go ahead and hammer directly on the wood “guard”. If you miss, you will hit the guard instead of the moulding.

Remove the guard to finish off with a nail set.

of choices; everything from halogen lights that look like hockey pucks that can fit up underneath your cabinets, to lighting in the shape of a rope that you can use for accents or under shelf lighting. The key is to get out, look around and discover all the possibilities. That will start your creative juices flowing and you might just get that bright idea.

Choosing the Right Shovel: Not all shovels are created equal.

There are really only three types of shovels that you’ll use most often in your do-it-yourself gardening and landscape projects. The first is called a round point shovel. This shovel is best for digging through tough soil, digging holes, and removing larger plants.

The second shovel is called a square point shovel. It is great for scooping out loose dirt and shoveling material like sand or mulch.

Finally, there is a garden spade, which has very straight edge. This is the tool used to cut through sod and create perfectly straight lines for edging.

Waterproof An Indoor Planter Box: Whether it is in the middle of winter or any other time of the year, indoor planter boxes are always in season. If your planter box is made of wood, these three tips will help make your planter last longer and keep your plants healthier. With a putty knife, apply roofing cement to the inside of the planter.

This will protect the wood from water and keep it from rotting.

Cover the drain holes in the bottom with landscape fabric to keep the soil from washing out. Finally, fill your planter with a good quality potting soil.

Options for Prefinished Flooring: Few things add a sense of beauty and luxury to a home like hardwood floors.

The easiest hardwood-style floors to install come prefinished, and fall into three basic categories: The first is solid hardwood.

It’s usually nailed down through a wood substrate and because it is solid top to bottom, it can last for literally generations.

The second option is engineered hardwood flooring. It’s actually made up of several layers of wood, the top one being hardwood.

Engineered hardwood flooring is relatively easy to install. The edges often just snap together; it requires no glue or nails, and sometimes it floats on a foam cushion.

The third category of prefinished flooring is plastic laminate. While it looks just like hardwood, it’s made by compressing resins and other materials under tremendous pressure. It has the appearance of wood but it’s extremely durable. This is a great choice

for high-traffic areas and homes with kids and pets. There you have it! Solid wood, engineered wood, or laminate. One of them is bound to be the perfect choice for your flooring project.

Patching Concrete Steps: If you’ve just painted your garage floor and it’s peeling, here’s a trick that makes paint on concrete really stick. When you paint concrete, you can keep the paint from peeling off by washing the floor first with warm water.

Then rinse and let it dry thoroughly for a least a day. Using a clean paint brush, apply a coat of white vinegar as a pre-paint primer. Once it dries, it will increase the bond, and your paint will hold and last much longer. This works on most things concrete, and benefits many other types of surfaces, too, such as metal, wood, or plastic.

Hiring a Home Inspector: Thinking of buying a home? Avoid getting a money pit by having the home professionally inspected from foundation to roof. This process will expose needed repairs. Look for a home inspector with building experience, like a general contractor, architect or engineer.

Check the inspector’s references, and establish how detailed his report will be.

Avoid an inspector who offers to perform the work himself, or who recommends someone who can -- this could lead to a conflict.

Designing a new kitchen: If you’re planning a new kitchen, you know you’ve got a lot of design choices to make. That’s why it’s helpful to shop around and look at a variety of room sets, countertop materials, cabinet woods and colours. Perhaps the most useful visualization tool of all is the kitchen design department at a modern home improvement centre. Just bring your measurements and ideas, and the kitchen planning specialist enters it all into a computer. What comes out is a threedimensional rendering showing you just how everything will look. Want to make a change? Just ask, and moments later, there it is before your eyes. If you can imagine it, you can see it. So if you’d like to see your new kitchen even before it’s built, visit a kitchen design centre.

How to Unscrew a Broken Light Bulb: It can be a bit annoying not to mention unsafe, when a light bulb breaks leaving just a base in the socket. Here’s a simple and safe way to get it out. Take a bar of soap and insert the corner into the socket. Give it a few turns and that base will unscrew. Make sure that the soap is dry and that the power is turned off. Never use a potato. Potatoes contain moisture and that could be dangerous.

Install a Programmable Thermostat: If you have an old thermostat, you might want to consider replacing it with a new programmable thermostat, one that will turn the heating and air up when you need it, and down when you don’t, saving you a lot of energy and money. The first thing you need to do is shut the power off to your heating and air system, then remove the cover to the old thermostat exposing the wiring.

Each wire in the thermostat has a different colour and a corresponding code. Before you remove the wires, make sure you write theses codes down and label each wire. Tip: Before you let go of the wires, make sure that you wrap them around a pencil to keep them from slipping back into the wall before you attach your new thermostat Mount the new thermostat in place and attach the wires just as they were on the old one. Now simply snap on the cover plate and set the temperature!

Redecorating with Lighting: One of the easiest ways to redesign the look of your home is with lighting. There are a lot

Choosing Between Stone and Quartz Countertops: When it comes to countertops, natural stone is a very popular choice. It has a classic and timeless look as well as a reputation for durability. But many stones, like marble for example, are subject to staining. Even granite has to be sealed periodically. Now there is another choice.

While this quartz resin countertop material looks just like granite, it’s actually a manmade material made from 93 percent natural quartz and 7 percent resin. What that means is a surface that’s virtually nonporous. Quartz i s resistant to most stains and never needs sealing.

Because it’s a man-made material, quartz resin is uniform in color and texture from batch to batch.

This means that the sample you see in the store will look just like the one that shows up in your home.

Both quartz and granite make a great countertop material, but if you’re looking for something that is absolutely maintenance free, then quartz is something you should consider.

Installing a Dimmer Switch: When it comes to indoor lighting, it’s no longer a matter of black or bright; there’s a whole range of shades in between, thanks to the wonderful world of dimmers.

When dimmers first came on the market, most were knob-style dimmers. Today, there’s a lot more to choose from. You can have a slide dimmer with an on-off toggle on the bottom; a mini slide with a push button on-off; a mini slide with a decora-style rocker switch; or even smart dimmers that

can store preset lighting themes and levels.

To replace a standard light switch with a dimmer, first turn off the power. Remove the cover plate and back out the two screws holding the switch in place. Pull the switch out of the wall and disconnect the wires from the switch. If the existing switch has wires wrapped around terminals like this, you’ll need to either straighten the wire or snip off the hooked ends. If you snip, you’ll probably need to strip off the insulation.

Dimmers typically come with pigtails that attach to the wires in the box. To make the connections, twist the wires together and secure them with wire nuts that are usually provided with the dimmer.

With the connections made, carefully fold the wires and push them to the back of the box, set the dimmer switch in place and drive in the mounting screws.

Replace the switch plate, tighten the screws and turn on the power. You’re done!

Clean the Eavestroughs – Leaves and debris make a home out of eavestroughs. Cleaning them can be dirty work, but necessary in order to prevent unwanted flooding. With a ladder and some gardening gloves, removing the debris is easy. However, damaged eaves need to be repaired and can be done section by section with replacement pieces and some caulking.

If eavestroughs have sustained enough damage over the years and are in need of replacement, consider having a new system installed with screens to protect the troughs.

This will make cleaning them in years to come, much easier!

Mouldings are worth their weight in of luck.

Ideally, mouldings should be painted or gold when it comes to enhancing your home’s décor. However, installing them stained before being installed. Use 38-mm can cause a few headaches for those finishing nails; any longer than that and who take up the challenge without being they may come into contact with electrical properly prepared. For this project to be wires. Experts recommend drilling nail a success, three elements are vital: a few holes in the mouldings before installation basic tools, a meticulous nature, and a so they won’t crack when nailed to the wall. Once the installation is completed, good dose of patience.

The first step consists of measuring the use a nail punch to push the nails deeper room to determine the number of mouldings required.

When Leave wood mould ings in the room for shopping for them, several days before installin g them so they can choose mouldings acclimate to the ambient tem perature and humi longer than your wall, dity levels. as it is preferable to cut a moulding too long rather than having lots of joints.

The fewer joints there are, the more beautiful the end result.

Before cutting any moulding, make into the moulding, then apply wood filler sure that the blade of your mitre saw has and make any necessary touch-ups to the at least 40 teeth; that is the minimum for paint. obtaining a clean cut. And always measure Your building products retailer is sure twice before cutting, whether it’s a straight to be able to answer any questions you or angled cut.

Drilling to the Right Depth: If you need to drill several holes to exactly the same depth, there are three simple depth gauges you can make from things you’ll find right around the shop. Technique number one calls for tape.

Wrap the tape around your drill bit at the depth you want the hole, wrapping it around the bit in a clockwise direction. Drill until the edge of the tape reaches the surface. It is possible to over-drill when using tape, so here’s a method that will prevent that: Hold a piece of 3/4”-inch dowel with a vise or a pair of multi-grooved pliers and drill a hole through the centre. Trim the dowel to the length you need it and slip it over the bit. Now, when you reach your desired depth, the drill will stop on its own. And finally, the third option is to take a piece of copper electrical wire, insert one end into the drill chuck, and begin wrapping it around the bit in a clockwise direction. Wrapping clockwise (as you face the drill) is very important. This will keep the wire from unwinding when it touches the surface into which you are drilling. When you’ve wrapped enough wire around the bit, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to tuck the end of the wire in place. When you drill, you’ll have both a visual and mechanical stop. Well, there you have it. Three simple ways to make depth gauges for your drill: tape, stop lock, or wire.

Deck Maintenance: In many parts of the country weather has changed. Thus, family activities have moved indoors. This means you’ll never have the deck more available for deck maintenance than now.

But if you’re waist deep in snow, you might have to wait a bit. But if it’s just chilly and grey, that’s an ideal time. Perform a full inspection of all surfaces -- looking for boards that need repair or replacement. If one is damaged or has cupped or checked, flip it over or exchange it with a better one from another location. Once things are all tightened, secured and ship-shape, test to see if it is time to reseal. Then consider those special touches you’ve wanted -- like benches and planters. The weather might not be the best, but you won’t have kids, dogs or relatives to contend with either. So hit the deck.

High-efficiency Furnaces: Got a new high-performance furnace? With 90 percent efficiency or better? If so, you should know, that besides producing heat, they produce water. They achieve their high-heat output by condensing gasses in the flue and extracting resulting heat from these gasses.

A by-product of this process is water, and as with air conditioning, this condensate must be removed from the house. If you already have central air conditioning, it probably shares the condensate line with your highefficiency furnace. If so, be sure this line goes to a drain. And periodically check to be sure it’s not blocked. If the drain line goes to a condensate pump, first make sure it cycles properly and that the condensate line makes it to a drain. Check to be sure it drains freely. High-efficiency furnaces are can be quite nice if you remember to check their drains once or twice each season.

Preserving wood curtain rods: Whether they’re varnished or painted, wood rods can show wear and tear quickly.

Coat both the rod and wooden rings with two layers of polyurethane varnish and they’ll look like new even with frequent use.

Dealing with floods and emergency roof leaks: For years many parts of the country were plagued by drought, and many of those same areas are threatened with rain storms and flooding.

Here are a couple of tips for those wet emergencies.

• If a roof leak develops, drill a hole in the ceiling to reduce damage to the ceiling-cover material and to create a collection point for the leaking water. A soaked hardwood floor should be squeegeed as soon as possible after the water has been removed and slowly dried to reduce the chance of warping. Trying to remove soaked carpets will almost certainly result in tearing.

First, removed excess water with a wet-dry vac or a carpet-cleaning machine. Then pull the carpet back and remove the pad. Use a fan or a blower to dry the area out. In most cases the carpet can be reused, but the pad will have to be replaced.

Hammering in Hard-to-Reach Places: Have you ever had to nail something high over your head but you couldn’t quite reach to get that nail started? Here are a few tips that can make the job easier. Try placing the nail in the claws of the hammer and start it from that position. Or, if you happen to have a small disk magnet, you can place it on the head of the hammer and the nail will actually stick right to it. Last, put a small notch in a thin strip of wood and let that hold the nail for you.

How to Hang Pictures Perfectly: If you’re fed up with pictures that hang askew at odd angles, well, here’s my technique for hanging pictures level, so they’ll stay level.

Begin by holding the picture where you want it to hang and make a small pencil mark along the top of the frame at the center.

Spread your thumb and forefinger until they’re five inches apart, then hook them under the hanging cable on the back side of the artwork. Pull up until the cable is taut.

Then measure the distance from the cable to the top edge of the frame. Now, measure down from the original mark on the wall the same distance, in this case, about two and a quarter inches, and make a second mark.

This is where the cable will touch the wall behind the picture. Using a level, draw a line from this mark, about three inches to either side of the center. Then measure from your center mark, two-and-a-half inches to the left... and two-and-a-half inches to the right.

Align the bottom of a picture hanger (not the nail that holds the hanger) with each of these two marks, and secure each of them to the wall. If you want to make doubly sure that your pictures won’t budge, try adding small rubberized bumper stickers to the bottom corners. The double-hanger approach that will keep your picture from getting out of kilter. Careful measurements and two hooks... enough to keep your pictures right where you want them -- on the level.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

38 - Thursday, October 23, 2014

- Seaway News - www.cornwallseawaynews.com

for the week of October 24-October 30, 2014

ARIES Aries, you begin the week with enthusiasm, but excitement begins to wane quite quickly. Find a way to rally your energy levels so you can complete tasks.

TAURUS Rein in your emotions as much as possible this week, Taurus.

You will feel passionate about a project in the coming days, but you still must remain calm as you tackle the tasks at hand.

GEMINI Gemini, commitments at work may keep you from your plans, even if you have had a special event on the calendar for some time. This obligation is unavoidable.

CANCER Expect to have some serious feelings about love and romance this week, Cancer. You are empowered by the sweet feelings and what they mean for your future.

LEO Leo, you are quite adept at maintaining a stoic outer appearance, but inside your emotions are churning. Find a healthy release and you will be glad you did VIRGO Virgo, test the waters before you share a secret. This way you can get an idea of how a small group of people will react before you spread the word.

LIBRA Libra, use your natural gift for diplomacy to resolve a conflict at work. It is easy to find common ground and steer the conversation toward a reasonable resolution.

SCORPIO Scorpio, grab some friends’ attention as you attempt to garner support for a coming project. Once you have the floor, make the most of this opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS Sagittarius, everything in your life seems to be in order. Now might be a great time to schedule some well-deserved rest and relaxtion with loved ones.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, listen to your sixth sense as it guides you in a particular direction. Your instincts rarely steer you wrong. Resist the urge to follow what everyone else is doing.

AQUARIUS The first step toward change at work is to take the initiative, Aquarius. Once you make the decision to forge ahead, everything will fall nicely into place.

PISCES Pisces, don’t worry if you have to give up something you desire when negotiating with others. The chips will fall into place.

THESE WALLS Building Campaign

This year the Agapè Center proudly recognizes our 43 years of service as the largest hunger relief organization serving Cornwall and the Counties. One way we measure our success is by pounds of nutritious food distributed to hungry people, however the weight of gratitude felt by our clients is immeasurable.

Over the past four decades, we have distributed more than 4 million food items.

In the past 3 years, we’ve experienced a 30% increase in the number of request for food assistance. Along with the growing amount of pedestrian traffic and daily usage, the amount of wear and tear has also grown. The building that houses our very efforts to help those in need is beyond due for repair. Please consider a contribution to the campaign to help us reach our goals.

Davey Bedard and the rest of the committee have been working with local law enforcement

all year in preparation for the month-long campaign to help educate students from Grade 7 to 10 in the area.

Meanwhile, CAS isn’t slowing down yet.

CORNWALL, Ontario - The Children’s Aid Society is celebrating record-breaking participation for this year’s Community Dress Purple Day on Oct. 17.

Two hundred professional groups compared to 137 in 2013. Sixty-one schools across Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry. Nine communities in eastern Ontario. And the numbers are expected to rise as SD&G CAS staff tally the amount of purple ‘Break the Silence’T-shirts sold and participants involved.

“We’ve surpassed our goal, it’s overwhelming the amount of support,” said Kimly Thivierge, public relations manager for CAS. “The adult sizes have sold out completely, but youth T-shirts are still available.”

They can be purchased in both French and English for $10 at Baxtrom’s Your Independent Grocer. All proceeds go directly to the Community Kids Camp Fund.

Dozens of staff at the CAS office, along with Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger, city councillors, and Child Abuse Prevention committee members, all donning purple, gathered to celebrate the event first thing Friday morning.

Sandy foundations Pastor’s Perspective – Pastor John Scorgie

A solid foundation is nothing to sneeze at or to dismiss as something trivial. How secure would you truly feel if your house or apartment unit was built upon a shallow and sandy footing? “Not very” has to be your honest answer!

Foundations are fundamental. Solid foundations are absolutely essential! Jesus once told a parable about the necessity of building on a solid foundation. That story is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter seven, verses 24 through 27. The literal fact of a solid foundation was pointing beyond itself to a spiritual lesson, which we all have to reckon with in our life here on earth. I would strongly echo the warning of Christ to each and every one who actually thinks that a sandy foundation for your life will be adequate and do the trick. Not so! Not possible! Beware of the sandy foundation of your own self-sufficiency where you count on your own ability and wisdom apart from God and His truth and grace. Beware also of the sandy foundation of your own self-righteousness where you lean on your own good works and reputation, apart from the Lord and His truth and grace. Then, finally, beware of the sandy foundation of your own self-fulfillment where you depend on your own inner sense of well-being, apart from Christ and His truth and grace. I would encourage you today to make certain that you build your life and hope and future upon the only solid Rock there is … Jesus Christ and His faithful words!

OPINION

Memories can’t be replaced Nick Wolochatiuk

the exact longitude and latitude of any location that has been added to the ‘FAVOURITES’ function, I can return to that place at any time in the future.

For several years had my Garmin take note of fox dens, unusual rock formations, obscure canoe portage trails, ideal wilderness tenting sites, special aircraft photography locations, favourite Ma and Pa restaurants and overgrown ruins.

On the screen map of my GPS every route I had ever travelled was highlighted. It was just like leaving a trail of bread crumbs to make it possible to return to my starting point.

Unfortunately, one day in August some S.O.B. lifted my ‘trail of bread crumbs’. The replacement GPS I had to purchase is a tabula rasa as far as my favourites are concerned. It’s like getting a puppy to replace a

Only if you’ve ever had something personal stolen from you, can you understand the feeling of loss that results. By ‘something personal’ I don’t mean a credit card, or a lawn mower or a car radio. Such objects are inanimate and can be replaced by immediately calling the bank, or going to Canadian Tire or putting in an insurance claim.

I’ve had three significant ‘personal things’ stolen from me. In reverse chronological order, a GPS (2014), a camera (2011) and some notebooks (1965).

You ask, “Big deal! So your GPS was stolen. Just go out and buy another. A GPS isn’t a ‘personal’ thing.”

In my case, I have to disagree, strongly. My GPS is as personal as my notebook and my‘little black book’.

Using the ability of a GPS to determine and remember

dog that has been with me for a dozen years. Its vocabulary is zilch. Its repertoire of tricks is zero. It even has to be taught its name. My new GPS is just as intelligent as the one that I lost, but it’s still a puppy being trained to paper, to leash and to command.

Three years ago my camera ‘disappeared’. Unlike my GPS, I was able to replace it with an identical one.

The considerable financial outlay hurt, but what really hurt was the loss of the 8GB memory card. Stolen memories can’t be replaced. That camera’s SD card contained irreplaceable images of friends, canoe trips, air shows, special gatherings – and a photograph of my business card as the very first image.

It would be too much to expect any scum who steals a camera to be thoughtful enough to mail the card to its owner.

Here comes a happy ending. In 1965 my car was pilfered. The only things taken were four notebooks I called “Nature Rambles”. I had written them over the years. They contained meticulous field notes relating to my exploration of the natural environment. All gone!

Months later I received a call from a social worker.

Her client had my notebooks and wanted to return them. A face-to-face meeting was arranged.

When we got together, the young boy hung his head, eyes afraid to meet mine. Stammering, he uttered,“When I opened those books I started to read them. Your notes, your descriptions, your stories, they grabbed me. I realized how much the trees, the streams, the wildflowers – and your notebooks meant to you. I’m sorry, very sorry. Here they are.”

Agapè needs your support for “Within These Walls” Building Campaign

Todd Lihou todd.lihou@tc.tc

This year the Agapè Centre proudly recognizes our 43 years of service as the largest hunger relief organization serving Cornwall and the Counties. One way we measure our success is by pounds of nutritious food distributed to hungry people, however the weight of gratitude felt by our clients is immeasurable.

“Everyone in one way or another has had hard times. The center needs to be there in support of our own! My favorite part of volunteering is feeling excited for Wednesday to arrive. I can honestly say my heart belongs here. I feel truly blessed to be part of the Agapè Centre.” Anne Burelle Alguire, Volunteer Over the past four decades, we have distributed more than 4 million food items. Instead of looking back on our accomplishments, we’re looking ahead toward the next 20 years of hunger relief for our community.

We know that there is much to do to fight hunger in our communities we serve. Our long range goals include offering healthier nutritious food

items, starting a community kitchen for families and children and continuously looking at social enterprise as one of our sustainable revenue generators. This will allow us to serve more lowincome children, families and older adults who don’t have access to nutritious food.

As we look to the next twenty years we are excited to embrace our responsibility as the hunger resource and healthiest community food centre for Cornwall and the Counties. With the help of our family of supporters, we can break the cycle of hunger and impact the lives of literally thousands of people each year. What better investment can you think of than the return of hope, health and productivity to our communities?

In the past 3 years, we have seen a 30% increase in the number of request for food assistance. In 2012-13 we provided 173,157 food bank meals and 34,024 soup kitchen meals. 100% of eligible clients referred received services; most within 24 hours. In 2013-2014, we provided 186,900 food bank meals and 35,100 soup kitchen meals. We support 1200 clients each month.

280 people per week use our food bank services and 600 people per week use our soup kitchen.

Pictured are building campaign co-chair Bernadette Clement, Agape Centre board member Carilyne Hebert, and Agape Centre executive director Alyssa Blais.

Every person who comes through our doors better.

You can support the WITHIN THESE WALLS deserves to be treated with kindness and respect.

Lynda Baynton, of Bradford, Ont. died Sunday after being airlifted to the hospital with lifethreatening injuries the day before.

Unmasking a WWE Hardcore Legend Adam Brazeau adam.brazeau@tc.tc

CORNWALL, Ontario - Wrestling icon and best-selling author Mick Foley performed his one-man stage show Hardcore Legend: An Evening with Mick Foley at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall, on Wednesday.

“I don’t want people to think it’s a comedy,” said Foley in an interview with Seaway News.

“It’s not joke-telling. It’s a wrestling-centered storytelling show that is based primarily in humour, but doesn’t have to be funny. It’s like taking fans on the same kind of emotional journey that a wrestling match would.”

Anyone who knows about Foley, can attest that his threshold for pain is nowhere near normal human levels.

Like when The Undertaker threw him off the top of a 16-foot cage through a table or the time he lost his right ear in a match against Big Van Vader. Yet the wrestler known for his many faces fears the boo over the boom.

“As far as pain - you’ve clearly not been up on stage and bombed,” he said. “I think anyone

who’s gone up there on their own with just a microphone and had a really bad night would rather be thrown off the cell than live with the hurt that just permeates throughout your body after a really MICK FOLEY bad show.”

The wrestling veteran’s one-man act made its headlining debut in 2009, before a sold-out crowd at the world-famous Hollywood Improv.

Foley has since performed at both the Montreal “Just For Laughs” Festival and the Edinburgh “Fringe Fest” – the two largest comedy festivals in the world.

He guarantees this is a much different experience than the last tour, too.

Foley’s first of ten books Have a Nice Day hit number one on the New York Times best-seller list in October 1999.

“It comes down to the first day that I began writing, I read some of it aloud to my WWE colleagues. Seeing them gathering around and

laughing it made me realize that there might be life after wrestling,” he said.

Foley described the leap from the ring to the stage as a little side step. From stories in the ring, to the page, and on the stage, the end goal is always the same.

“The key to me is everyone leaves with a big smile on their face,” he said.

Foley’s newfound literary fame once again led him to performing.

“It wasn’t just the writing, it was the reactions to the writing,” he said. “I get a lot of the same thrills. The thrill of creating, seeing reactions, the instantaneous feedback that I got from being inside the ring. I was far more a performer than I was a competitor – that’s something I touch on in this show.”

But every once in a while performers, even as tough as Foley, must face the critic in the room. Fortunately for them, he handles it with the wild and warm-hearted nature he’s revered all over the world for.

“I don’t really get hecklers,” he said. “I get the random fan who yells out either names of wrestlers or endings to stories and then I deal politely

but firmly. The key is also not to make them feel like they’re part of the show.”

It’s no coincidence Foley is performing in Cornwall either. The Seaway City holds a significant place in his multi-faceted career.

“This will be my first return to Cornwall since ’97 when I quit WWE over the Montreal Screwjob with Bret Hart,” he said in an interview with chinlock.com. “There was a Monday Night Raw that I missed following that pay-per-view out of protest. Then when my wife read my contract to me over the phone and I realized I’d just breached my contract and couldn’t work anywhere in the world for five years, I did return in Cornwall. I try to take every city where I’ve had history and incorporate it into the show.”

Cornwall comic Mark Vincent opened the show and newly crowned Big Time Pro Wrestling (BTPW) champion Randy ‘The Rage’ Berry will hosted as the guest emcee.

“Foley’s story is nothing short of inspirational,” said Berry. “His love for the wrestling business is more hardcore than his matches.

Something I can relate to growing up as a fan and wanting to be a pro wrestler myself.”

Homestay host family welcomes Japanese student CORNWALL, Ontario - Miki Nakanishi is far from her family in Kyoto - a city with nearly 1.5 million people - but the 15-year-old still feels like she’s home thanks to the hospitality of a Cornwall family.

Dan Lalonde, his wife Renee Seguin-Lalonde,

and their daughter Ember, 12, have invited Nakanishi to live in their beautiful home until the end of the school year, through the Muskoka Language International (MLI) Homestay program.

asked to open their doors again, but this time for much longer.

Nakanishi arrived on August 30 and she makes her departure on June 30, 2015. Her new family hopes that’s enough time to immerse her in the culture.

“It makes you appreciate what it is to be Canadian – because if you have an international guest, you’re going to go explore, not just sit at home and do nothing,” said Lalonde.

Nakanishi has already tried some Canadian delicacies for the first time like poutine and a turkey dinner. But winter sports such as curling, maple syrup at a cabane a sucre, and a white Christmas are what she’s really excited for.

“We celebrate Christmas, but not big like in Canada,” said Nakanishi. “We do the tree and the gifts. Some houses decorate, but my house doesn’t.”

Fortunately for her, Lalonde guaranteed this holiday season will include a big tree, stockings, advent calendars, a village in the living room, and a lot of lights.

Nakanishi started studying English at the age of 12. But both host parents and MLI Homestay Coordinator Tina Johnson helped her

Ontario Energy Commission de l’énergie Board de l’Ontario

overcome the language barrier during the interview.

The temporary Cornwallite has also taken on an important leadership role in the household.

“Now that we have Miki around, I’m able to get my daughter out of her shell and into the kitchen more to help out,” said Seguin-Lalonde.

“I don’t have any siblings so it’s like getting a big sister from the other side of the world,” added Ember, a Grade 7 Holy Trinity student.

Nakanishi studies at CCVS and is an avid tennis player. She considers cooking class one of the best parts about high school, especially after learning how to make pizza, apple pie, and tortillas.

But a small town Canadian life even with all its charm can be too quiet for the Japanese teen who is used to taking a bus and train to school six days a week for up to 12 hours of classes and activities.

“My host family is great, but sometimes I do miss my family and friends,” said Nakanishi.

Have Your Say – Protecting Energy Consumers

How well are consumers protected in Ontario’s retail energy market?

That’s the question the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is looking at with its review of the Energy Consumer Protection Act. The Act deals with energy retailing to low-volume consumers in the province. Just over 300 thousand residential and small business consumers in Ontario currently have contracts with electricity retailers; 362,000 have contracts with natural gas marketers.

Please visit www.ECPAreview.ca and fill out the on-line survey to share your views on consumer protection with the OEB.

Colts still in third despite mediocrity Despite a .500 week, the Cornwall Colts continue to sit third overall in the CCHL standings.

Their 11-6-1-1 record (24 points) leaves them in second place in the Robinson Division.

The Colts snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-2 home ice win over Pembroke Thursday at the Ed Lumley Arena. Jay D’Amour had a goal and an assist to lead Cornwall. Denny Doubblestyne made 32 saves for the win.

The Lumber Kings exacted revenge with a 3-2 win over the Colts in the back end of their home and home series in Pembroke last Friday night. Another 32 save performance from

Dubblestyne didn’t hold up. Thomas Hargrave and Jay D’Amour scored for the Colts.

Kevin Hope continues to lead the Colts with 12 goals and 24 points in 19 games. Marley Quince and Zac Tierney lead the club in assists, each with 13.

Workhorse goaltender Denny Doubblestyne leads the CCHL with 11 wins, is 3rd in save percentage (.920) and 4th in goals against average (2.25).

The Colts only have one game this week vs. the Nepean Raiders Thursday night at the Ed Lumley Arena. Game time is 7:30.

Enforcers roots - born in a different time Thom Racine

While I don’t believe fighting will ever disappear from the game of hockey, it is rather obvious the game is moving away from one element, that has been a long standing and much maligned part of the game.

I love to research and though it is often said, the past is the past, hockey has been a lot rougher than it is today, especially with the so called ‘eye for and eye’ enforcers seemingly being weeded out of the current professional game. When I have those water cooler chats, someone is apt to say, they love the speed of the game and they don’t really miss the fighting or

would miss it, if fighting was banned from the game.

It’s about attitude these days and even the old school players and fans alike are accepting this new game. Why is it so tough to take the rough stuff out of the game? That's where research does come in handy. The past may be the past, but it holds the answers that we search for in many difficult situations. At the turn of the last century, Cornwall and Maxville were the sites of two on ice deaths, some called the incidents murder.

As Cornwall’s Owen McCourt skated onto the ice at the Victoria Arena on March 7, 1907 against the Ottawas, he would score the first of

Cornwall’s 11 goals, be involved in a fight and then, be clubbed across the head by the Ottawas Charlie Masson. McCourt was carried off the ice.

Although he would return to the game, Owen “Bud” McCourt would be dead by eight o’clock the following morning from a brain haemorrhage. Masson was charged, but eventually acquitted. The entire story is quite a tale, but what drew me to it, was the evidence given

by Cornwall hockey legend Aeneas ‘Reddy’ MacMillan at trial. Cornwall had been the scene of a hockey related murder trial two years earlier, when Allan Loney was acquitted in the on ice death, in Maxville, of Alcide Lauren.

MacMillan’s testimony on how players could

“do up an opponent, if required” could have been the first time a player was called as an expert witness. MacMillan explained to the court, that stick swingings and rough play happened in some games and he went on to say, that he had received stick blows to the head, twice during the season.

Born out of a feisty world, these two tragic deaths from another time should help us understand, the game has and always will be played with emotion. Over 100 years later, enforcers chances to ‘do up an opponent’ are dwindling and subduing that emotion without taking good tough competition out of the game, could be the answer we may all be searching for.

The average golfer could easily make up 10 most of us are not able to get onto the links anystrokes a ROUND by putting properly. This one way because of the winter weather, putting is point makes proper putting perhaps the most something you can practice at home.

There’s an old adage that the game of golf important part of any player’s game. And since should be learned from the green back to the tee.

That means putting, chipping, fairway shots, and THEN drives. Remember, most shots in a round are from around the green or on the green itself.

It’s not uncommon for some players to take as many (and often more) shots while on the green as they did to get to the green. Putting is paramount to a solid game.

The average golfer’s tendency, when putting, is to use too much of their wrists and arms, thus Open ‘til Nov. 2nd

breaking down their wrists through the putt. This is wrong and is the main culprit for poor putting.

Do not break your wrists when putting! Why? Because as soon as you do, you lose control. That wobbly wrist action is transmitted down to the putter face and the ball will go just about anywhere when contact is made. Anywhere except where you want to go, that is.

To become a great putter, the perfect combination of shoulders and arms should be used throughout the entire putt. Any wrist action involved is through the motion of the weight of the putter. In other words, it’s a natural motion, not a break.

During your putt, concentrate on your shoulders. On the backswing, your left shoulder naturally moves down and your right shoulder naturally moves up, like a pendulum. When you focus on your shoulders as if they were a clock works, your backswing becomes fluid. Your left wrist should stay nice and firm throughout this motion.

In order to set up the putting grip, first place the grip in the palm of your left hand, and your entire hand around the grip. Place your right hand underneath your left, in a similar palm grip.

Now, overlap your right hand with your left index finger. Your palms should be opposite to one another, for a nice locked-in feeling. When setting up to address the ball, make sure your eyes are over the ball, specifically your left eye (if you are a right hand golfer).

Bend your knees slightly, and hang your arms over the ball.

Shift your weight slightly forward on your left foot, favoring the left side of your body. Your hands should also be slightly forward in your stance.

SPREADING THE ‘NEWSY’: Local writer halfway done biography on first great Hab CORNWALL, Ontario - If Robert Lefebvre has anything to say about it, Edouard ‘Newsy’ Lalonde is going to live forever.

Lefebvre, a Cornwall writer who has already penned a book on the locker-room antics of the fabled Montreal Canadiens, is halfway through a biography on the first captain of the Habs who was born and raised in the Seaway City.

Without giving away too much - you’ll have to read the book for the full story - Lefebvre promises some facts about the first bonafide NHL star that many people don’t know to this day.

“He finished his career in Montreal on defence,” Lefebvre said in an interview. “And no one knows that.”

The hockey encyclopedias of today remember Lalonde as a forward in the fledgling National Hockey League who was one of the great players of the sport in the first half of the century. Before playing professional ice hockey, he worked in a newspaper plant, where he acquired the “Newsy” nickname.

To talk to Lefebvre is like talking to Newsy himself.

“I have the book about half done,” he said.

“I’m up to the part where he joins the Montreal

Johnston had a scrapbook of Newsy memorabilia who turned it over to the writer who painstakingly copied every facet of material.

He’s also completed interviews with Lalonde’s grandsons, Robert and Richard Quintal who live just outside Montreal.

Lefebvre said he began his foray into writing with a dream of cataloguing each season in the grand history of the Canadiens. That plan has morphed into one book that’s already been published, with another one hopefully on the way.

“It was something I did because I wanted have fun,” he said. “And it has just evolved.”

Canadiens. A lot of that stuff is already documented - but I have lots of material about his time in Cornwall before that.”

And like a game clock ticking away in the final minute of the third period, Lefebvre knows his time to produce a winner is running short.

“I want to have this done by the NHL’s 100th anniversary in 2017,” he said. “That’s the ideal time to have this come out. There’ll be a lot of books coming out about the centennial then - and that’s when publishers will be most interested in it.”

His first Habs effort, “Tales from the Montreal Canadiens Locker Room: A Collection of the Greatest Canadiens Stories Ever Told” debuted with a “thud” Lefebvre said.

“It came out during the lockout,” he added, referring to the season-long NHL work stoppage years ago.

It’s his hope there won’t be a repeat for the Newsy biography.

Lefebvre’s research on Lalonde dates back to his days as the man who helmed “Habs Eyes on the Prize” - a blog that has now become a popular stop for Canadiens’ fans to catch up on their favourite team, but was at the time an anthology on the team.

Lefebvre, by virtue of the blog, came into contact with Sharon Johnston, the great-great niece of Lalonde.

RESTAURANTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Her passion through rose-coloured glass Roxanne Delage CORNWALL, Ontario - For local glass artist, Candice Nixon, there was never any doubt that she would make her art her life.

“I started drawing as a little kid, always doing creative things, wearing odd stuff, doing weird things with my hair. I’ve always been just a little different, but that’s what makes me what I am.”

Growing up in Apple Hill, Nixon took her first art lesson, outside of school, at McCormick Art Studio, in Avonmore. “I painted for years, sketched, pencil, pen and ink.”

She says that she also worked in other mediums, as well, clay, metal, wood – “Whatever I could get my hands on.”

“Dad was a carpenter; he always got me involved in carpentry work, at different sites. He taught me woodworking.”

After high school, Nixon studied graphic design, at St Lawrence College, in Kingston, and eventually took a job, in her field, in Ottawa.

“I didn’t get into glass until I was out of college. I wasn’t interested because it was so strict,” said the free spirit. All I saw were church windows; I was only exposed to the one style.”

She then met a glass artist who worked outside the proverbial box, and learned the techniques she now creates with - glass on glass and fused glass. From that meeting, a new passion or obsession, as she calls it, Melting Pot Studio, was born.

Nixon left her full-time employment, and thanks to her drive and the support of family, friends and her husband, a graphic artist himself, she hasn’t looked back.

“I followed my dream; took a chance; I was young; I didn’t know any better.”

She set up a studio, and built it from there. “I went to every little craft show that I could manage got the exposure and got to the point that I was doing more exclusive shows.”

Now in her 10th year in business, Nixon’s work

has gained a certain profile in the community.

Her pieces now adorn churches, galleries and private homes, as well as most notably, the incredible installation, at Hospice Cornwall, on which she worked with another respected local artist, Noella Cotnam.

“It was an honour to work on that project.”

Now, enjoying her number one role, as mother, to her three year old son, Nixon, has recently rebuilt her business, after a flood, in her basement, destroyed her studio, last year.

“Everything was gone, including some sentimental stuff.”

Nixon says that she didn’t let that setback deter her. In fact, it inspired her to start anew. “It rejuvenated me.”

Now back at it, Nixon is once again giving workshops in various techniques, most weekends.

She will be, once again, lending her talent to the Pumpkin Carving fundraiser for Hospice, next

Candice Nixon, glass art, graphic design.

Friday, at the Cornwall Square, and will be at the Trunk Sale, fundraiser for MS, at Marlin Orchard, on November 2.

Visit her at www.meltingpotstudio.ca, or on Facebook at Melting Pot Studio, for samples of her beautiful work and workshop schedule.

CORNWALL, Ontario - A popular Cornwall rock band will close out its 2014 schedule in a big way - with Big Wreck.

The Trench Town Oddities will play The Ballroom in Watertown, N.Y. Oct. 27 with Big Wreck and Joe’s Band.

“It’s truly an honour to be sharing the bill with one of Canada’s best rock acts,” said TTO frontman Sean Harley. “I’ve seen them several times, one being right here in Cornwall at Lift Off, and I have to say they are an amazingly talented band - especially Ian Thornley.”

TTO has been trying to make a mark in the U.S. market for some time, and Harley said the gig in a couple of weeks proves the efforts are paying dividends.

“Although it’s been quiet on the home front, we have been blazing quite the trail south of the border,” said Harley. “It’s really nice to see that all the touring we’ve done in northeastern U.S.A. has finally started to pay off.”

There’s also plans for a new album.

Lancé en 1986, le Festival célèbre la diversité de la communauté homosexuelle, sur 10 jours d’événements variés comprenant entre autres des activités sportives, une vigile en faveur des droits de la personne, des activités pour les jeunes et une fête de l’arc-en-ciel.

Les francophones ont déjà leur université en Ontario : c’est l’Université d’Ottawa La tenue, au début du mois, des États généraux sur l’éducation postsecondaire en Ontario a relancé le débat sur la pertinence d’une université francophone. Permettez-moi de prendre un peu de recul et de réitérer certains faits importants.

En tant que recteur de l’Université d’Ottawa, je suis sensible aux préoccupations et revendications des Franco-Ontariens. Et je tiens à rappeler que les francophones de tout l’Ontario ont déjà leur université : c’est l’Université d’Ottawa.

Cette année, 13 000 étudiants francophones l’ont encore démontré en choisissant l’Université d’Ottawa, une université en plein essor, celle qui compte le plus grand nombre d’étudiants francophones, à l’extérieur du Québec, et dont l’excellence est reconnue mondialement.

N’en déplaise à certains, notre Université a toujours été et demeure au cœur de l’épanouissement des communautés francophones, principalement dans l’Est de l’Ontario, mais aussi dans le Grand Toronto, à Windsor et bientôt, je l’espère, dans le Sud-Ouest grâce à notre projet d’expansion à Woodstock.

Notre mission est la même depuis la création de l’Université en 1848 : permettre aux jeunes francophones de poursuivre leur éducation dans leur langue. Plus de la moitié des étudiants des conseils scolaires francophones qui poursuivent leurs études à l’université le font chez-nous; dans l’Est ontarien, cette proportion monte à 85 %. Cela veut dire que depuis notre fondation, nous avons formé près de 70 000 diplômés qui ont laissé leur

marque dans différents domaines partout dans le monde.

Au premier cycle, nos étudiants ont accès à 1 600 cours en français. Certains ont été créés spécifiquement pour la population francophone de l’Ontario et ne sont d’ailleurs enseignés qu’en français, notamment en sciences de la santé.

Nous avons non seulement des salles de classe et des laboratoires à la fine pointe de la technologie, mais aussi l’expertise avec nos professeurs et chercheurs de renommée mondiale. Ce n’est donc pas un hasard si nous nous classons parmi l’élite

canadienne et les meilleures universités au monde.

Notre projet d’expansion à Woodstock viendra consolider tout cela. En réponse à l’appel du gouvernement, nous proposons un campus francophone qui offrira des programmes en demande de grande qualité dans des régions, le Centre et le Sud-Ouest de l’Ontario, où la population francophone est en pleine croissance. À terme, ce sont des milliers de nouveaux diplômés, des centaines d’emplois ainsi que des retombées de plusieurs millions qui profiteront à l’ensemble de la communauté francophone.

Les francophones de l’Ontario ont droit à une université qui sert leurs intérêts et qui leur permet de poursuivre une formation postsecondaire de qualité exceptionnelle en français. Et cette université existe déjà : elle s’appelle l’Université d’Ottawa.

J’invite donc tous les Franco-Ontariens à soutenir leur université, un endroit où la formation en français rime avec excellence, plutôt que de songer à créer un nouvel établissement qui pourrait mettre longtemps à atteindre les mêmes normes de qualité que notre université a si bien su établir et promouvoir.

A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant.

They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands. The waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair and under the table but the man stared straight ahead.

The waitress watched as the woman slid all the way down her chair and out of sight under the table. Still, the man stared straight ahead.

The waitress, thinking this behavior a bit risqué and worried that it might offend other diners, went over to the table and tactfully, began by saying to the man “Pardon me, sir, but I think your wife just slid under the table.

The man calmly looked up at her and said - “No, she didn’t. She just walked in.”

It’s time for change.

Le temps est propice au changement.

Thank goodness the monstrous bike lanes added to Second Street. One can hardly navigate now, with the deluge of cyclists taking advantage of the new lanes – which include the added bonus of reduced lanes for, you know…cars. (By the way, we know it's only October, but we'll bet you a shilling it will be the same story next summer).

Health Canada says anyone who purchased a product named Miracle Mineral Solution There are only 62 shopping days left until should quit using it immediately.

Christmas … better start your shopping soon!

Pet Tip of the Week: Be a responsible pet owner! On Halloween evening, it’s best to keep your pets inside and away from outside doors.

They may be confused or frightened by the costumes and masks of the young trick-or-treaters who come to your door. Candy is not good for your animal companions. Don’t allow children to share their Halloween treats with your pet.

Candy, particularly chocolate, is toxic for animals and can cause vomiting, restlessness, heart problems and even lead to death. The best treats for your cat or dog are specially made treats purchased from the pet store or your veterinarian. Also, never leave lighted candles unattended! Pets are attracted to the light in a darkened room and a tail flicked through the flame can result in serious burns.

Advance Tickets Only!

Halloween safety tip around home: • Be safe at Halloween or at any time after dark. Attaching reflective strips to clothing and costumes is inexpensive and easy.

• Do not light candles around the walkways.

If you would like luminaries or to light a jack-olantern, use a battery-operated light source or glow stick. Keep walkways unobstructed and well lit. Don’t let strangers into your home.
