Tracey now has a place to showcase all or her creations.

The Grand Opening of the new Red Wind Studio is taking place on Saturday, March 22 from 10am to 5pm. Draws and Demos will run throughout the entire day at 410 Cumberland Street, adjacent to the SheConnex space. The acquisition of a new space not only means that Tracey will be able to focus more on studio work and put more items on display. It will also allow her to branch out into new ventures. For example, it will open the door to the retail aspect of her business. Paints and brushes will be available for purchase. Tracey will carry the Canadian made FAT paint and FAT wax. The paint is a low VOC Artisan chalk style paint perfect for furniture and home décor items. Equally new and exciting are the workshops. Tracey will be offering hands-on sessions, where you will learn how to use the products available for retail, to create your own masterpieces. Tracey will continue to offer custom work for clients and have furniture and home décor items available for purchase.

Facts and Fiction

This year's political campaign is still in its infancy. Yet, even though only a few have announced they are running, rumours are already spreading like the plague. Like a great big storm, sharp tongues are biting like the frost (no pun intended) in the hopes of leaving their victim buried, frozen, under six feet of snow.

Watch out, the knives are coming out! In the last week alone, some juicy details ranging from illegitimate fatherhood to criminal wrongdoing have landed on my desk, which I find very awkward. The Seeker is not big on gossip and negative news, yet, people thought it right to inform me, quite in details, of the despicable things some of our candidates have allegedly done. Shame on you.

It’s that time of the year again!

The problems with rumours is that they are usually not backed up by facts. However, people oftentimes believe them as if they were gospel. A rumour is spread by a person with a specific intent in mind, which usually is to assassinate someone's character. People who indulge in gossip may be doing it innocently, just as a way to pass time or to do some meaningless chit-chat with friends, but they are instrumental to the whole process. People who intend to spread rumors will seek out the right gossipers to talk to in order to circulate the rumour.

“Gossip destroys morale, creates negative energy at work and stops coworkers from becoming a united team...” says Judith Orloff, MD, the author of Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions. “...It impacts productivity by taking a worker's mind off the task at hand." Is this really what we want to do to our politicians? Don't we want to actually promote unity amongst them? Don't we want to empower them so they can do a fine job if elected at city council? I'm not insinuating to turn a blind eye to everything bad being said about our future leaders--we have a responsibility to make sure we put morally sound people in power. But personally, I won't speak about things that do not affect their ability to perform their jobs. I'm also cautioning you to verify your sources and to make sure the things you say about others are factual. Let's not forget we are playing with people's lives and careers. Honestly, if the things I hear are not true, I want no part in repeating them. I don't know about you, but if you're looking for me, I'll be out there tearing down the rumour mill. No one's personal life is in the public interest. It's gossip, bottom line. End of story. -Kevin Spacey

How can she expect our agriculture and agri-food sector to continue innovating and expanding across the Province if there are no available courses east of Guelph?” Premier Kathleen Wynne has combined her duties with those of the Minister of Agriculture and Food since February 2013. “Kathleen Wynne either knew of the closures when she sang her Government ’s praises to agri-food sector representatives in St-Albert on Monday or she has no idea what the department she oversees partt me s up to” – MPP McDone cont nued “Both scenar os are d shearten ng The consequences o hav ng a par t t me M n ster o Agr cu ture are b e co m n g c e a r S h e h a s n o gra s p o t h e m p o r t a n ce o o c a a gr c u t u ra e d u c a t o n n Eastern Ontar o and has no nterest n a v brant and susta nab e agr cu ture sector ”“Loca armers have strong t es to the A red and Kemptv e campuses wh ch have prov ded educat on n the agr cu tura fie d or a most a century F ve o my brothers attended the Kemptv e campus went on to success u careers n the agr cu ture ” recounted MPP McDone “Our reg on has a v brant agr cu tura her tage rooted n str v ng or exce ence The agr cu tura sector s the reg on s number one ndustr y and the Kempt v e and A red campuses have p ayed a ma or ro e n ts success prov d ng oca educat on opportun t es or asp r ng armers” – MPP McDone conc uded “ Th s government has wasted b ons o do ars on a ed programs such as the cance ed power p ants and now we see the resu ts o those expens ve m stakes Two o our reg on s key educat ona nst tut ons are c os ng e m nat ng more than a hundred good pay ng obs Expect ng our next generat on o armers to move to Gue ph or the r educat on shows that the L bera s have n o u n d e r s t a n d n g o t h e n e e d s o E a s te r n Ontar o ” My name s Jason Setnyk and these are the Seeker Sn ppets

FOCUS ON THE GOOD with Carol Grant

Our WEEKLY LOOK at CHARITIES & ORGANIZATIONS in our COMMUNITY!

There are SO many organizations out there that offer help in so many ways and we'd like to focus on all of the good things this city has to offer.

Whether you need help for yourself or your pet, there is someone who can help. Whether you are a child, adolescent, young adult or a senior in need, there is also someone who can help. Whether you have cancer, diabetes, heart disease or any other ailment, there is someone who can help. Our city is blessed to have organizations that help with such a wide variety of services and our hope is to inform you throughout the year about these wonderful agencies or organizations. It is my hope to focus on an extensive range of services out there including but not limited to organizations such as Canadian Cancer Society, United Way (and its various represented agencies), Canadian Red Cross, Cornwall Community Hospital, Boys & Girls Club of Cornwall, OSPCA, Agape Centre, Canadian Diabetes Association, ASAP, Heart & Stroke Foundation of Ontario, Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Canadian Mental Health Association, VCARS, St. John Ambulance, and Kinsmen Club, just to name a few. This weekly feature is FREE of charge and will help gain exposure for your organization to help you reach out to those in need who could be looking for the help you have to offer! If you are involved with a local charity, non-profit organization or an agency that can be of help to someone in need, please contact me to be featured in an upcoming article. I will arrange to take photos and do an article on your organization.

I can be reached by telephone at 613-932-0935 or by sending me an email (with the subject Focus on the Good) to carolgrantproductions@hotmail.com

The Long Haul Back Home Last weekend, was my moving weekend, back to Cornwall from Kingston. The slow move over the last month lightened the load, but as anyone who has moved knows; when you pack up your belongings they take a lot of boxes, bins and space. I arranged for a UHaul from Kingston and for a drop off in Cornwall. On Friday, I left for work before 6am so I could leave earlier. After packing some more things, I discovered that I ran out of boxes. My final step was to bring my cat and all of her things to Cornwall. My cat can be very anti-social and was not thrilled with going in her cage for the long drive back. Her pain infused meows were tough to bear as she wrestled to free herself from the cage. Once settled in my car, the movement and the music calmed her down, but her protests were still known. Bright and early on Saturday morning, I picked up my Cornwall moving guys and after a Tim Hortons’ stop, we were on the highway and gearing up for a busy day. Two of the three moved me to Kingston in 2012 and as they recalled the hot day with the non-functioning elevator, we made our way back. Even though we had an elevator this time, it was the long hallways and the lack of carts or dollies that took the toll on us. We worked diligently to carry all of my boxes, bins and what little furniture I have. They cursed my son’s penchant for books, as I have thinned out my collection, but Brad is still holding on for now. I matched them in strides and did not let up, I had to push through the pain and get this done. The 4 am start to the weekend and very little sleep, was something I had to endure, in the end, it will be worth it. The 20 foot Uhaul was loaded as was my Vibe, that carried home the two things I was adamant about not breaking; my televisions. The boys climbed into the Uhaul as I made the solo journey back. Once we returned to Cornwall, my friend Sue’s son Dylan and his buddy Jason helped unload the Uhaul. They were not aware of the flight of stairs, but it didn’t take them long as they piled my things in my new place. The cat, was not a happy camper and it took until later that night for her to show herself. So now, the unpacking begins. The final decisions of what stays, what goes, where things fit are happening. Cable and Internet are set up. Oh how I missed my DVR. I still have a few things left in Kingston, but for the most part, I am back. Thanks to all who helped make this move easier. The guys have set a moratorium on moving me, it has to be at least 4 years, according to them. Time will tell, but home is where the heart is and there is no question where mine is.

-Dr. Paul Poirier; (Earthway Chiropractor Clinic)

Being positive and open to continue my education and learning I believe that Zumba is a lifestyle. I strive to make my Zumba classes pressure -free, fun, exciting with a motivating environment that will leave you anxious to return. My primary goal is to help people lead a healthier, happier life and have fun along the way resulting in positive, long term lifestyle changes.

HEALTH

Here is a list of the individuals that will represent the health professionals at the event;

Imagine… for just one hour, you can turn the world off and turn the music up and dance your stresses away! It is for this reason I call Zumba a true "Happy Hour." My main goal is to turn each and every member into a "Happy Shiny Person."

•

This year, Maison Baldwin House will again be the recipient of all profits of this event. Last year we raised well over $1100 in 3 hours for the cause, we hope to double that amount this year! For this reason, we will be asking a $2 minimum donation at the door…..thank you for your support!

The reason I love to teach Zumba Fitness is simple: Every class feels like a party!

HEALTH

On Saturday, April 5th, 11am to 3pm ..we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Healthy Living Wellness Fair at The Agora Centre , 301 McConnell Avenue (formerly Nativity Hall). The buzz is around our city and surrounding area, everyone is so looking forward to having all of these health-minded professionals and individuals under one roof.

We are very happy to welcome Christal to the Seeker Team - I believe everyone knows this “girl with amazing energy” and we look forward to hearing from her once a month.

with Carol Grant BRIAN’S DAY

Cornwall & area residents have once again shown their generosity by helping out a local sports leader, Brian Tardiff (photo left).

•

Brian was honoured last weekend during "Brian's Day", a fundraiser held on March 8th at the Benson Centre to help raise funds that will go towards supporting his journey with Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Hundreds of people gathered to participate in the day's events which included a silent auction, hockey games, Zumba with Christal Bowen (photo right), live music by "Twisted Kilt", autograph session with two-time Olympic medalist Lori Dupuis (below with Seeker Chick Mai-Liis) and other activities.

SPORTS

OUT AND AROUND CORNWALL

SPORTS •

We wish Brian our sincere wishes for good health and are happy to know that he has such tremendous support in his journey.

•

At last known count, the event raised nearly $32,000 which confirms the tremendous support Tardiff has in the area. Tardiff will be one of the new inductees in Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame this year in the Builder category during the August ceremony.

SPORTS

Brian is instrumental in establishing the city's minor girls' hockey and baseball/softball leagues here in Cornwall and it's only fitting that so many past and present athletes were on hand to help celebrate this wonderful man.

SPORTS Geoff Smith, Rod McLeod and Angie Baker led the charge by organizing this event and anybody would be privileged to have any one them in their corner, let alone all three. I’m proud to say my family is a part of the Cornwall Girls Hockey Association. The majority of the volunteers came from the CGHA and they worked like a well oiled machine. The day couldn’t have gone any better and it was because of their wiliness to work together. It was a day to celebrate the work of Brian and Sue and it’ll never be forgotten. Good luck in your journey Russ, we’re behind you all the way.

But all those rank behind this past weekend’s Brian’s Day. The one day fundraiser that raised more than $34,000 to assist Brian “Russ” Tardiff and his journey with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) showed why Cornwall is a second to none when it comes to being a caring community. The day involved several hockey games, Zumba, skills competitions, Lori Dupuis autograph signing, a band and a silent auction all in support of Brian and Sue Tardiff.

The great success of the day speaks to a few things, namely what Russ has given to the girls hockey and local softball communities for the better part of the past four decades.

•

Being Chairman of the annual Benson Cornwall Lions Club Sports Awards Dinner, Cornwall Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner and the Tim Horton’s Big Brothers/Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake as well as master of ceremonies for the former Chad Kilger Golf Tournament and the one time Children’s Treatment Centre NHL Slovak golf tournament have been highlights of a fun career so far.

This is being written a couple days after the event and I’m still amazed at the turnout, the community spirit and how much was raised.

Christi Lalonde FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT; Underground Spin Studio - www.undergroundspinstudio.ca Sponsor through Heart & Stroke – www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1105970

A Heart & Stroke Yoga Fundraiser was held on Thursday, February 27th at Spirit Tree Yoga Cenre wherein 18 yogis raised $1048.00 for the Heart & Stroke foundation by committing to do 50 Sun Salutations. Everyone was able to complete them in 28 minutes!! It was great fun and this will become an annual event. Unfortunately, one of our cherished members, Kathryn Addie, was supposed to attend the fundraiser but ironically she passed away of a heart attack (she was only 54) prior to the event. We are going to honour her memory by dedicating the annual fundraiser to her. Next year it will be known as the Kathryn Addie Heart & Stroke Yoga Fundraiser.

ENJOY BROCCOLI SOUP AND COCONUT MACAROONS When will our winter ever end? As I write this column, they are calling for a snowstorm tomorrow. I know in my heart that some of our worst snowstorms come in March and even April. So I am not keeping my hopes up for an early spring. Remember back in the early 1970's, the storm that had snow piled right up to our house roofs. To try and make you, or me, forget about the weather, try making my broccoli soup (with no cream) and my favourite coconut macaroons. Both dishes are plain delicious!

BROCCOLI SOUP WITH POTATOES AND CHEESE

If you don't own an immersion blender, pick one up soon. This little hand-held gadget purees soups, sauces, gravies, and even smoothies to a silky smooth consistency. I use mine in this instance to puree the soup once all of the vegetables are tender. Then I add in the grated sharp cheddar cheese. I served it in the tea cups that came with my china set. No spoons are needed.

INGREDIENTS: 2 medium onions, diced 1 shallot, finely diced 1 tbsp. butter and 1 tbsp. olive oil 1 tbsp. minced garlic in oil 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced 1- 946 ml. carton of low sodium chicken broth 3 or 4 cups of broccoli (stems sliced thinly and florets cut into bite-sized pieces) 1 cup (or so) grated sharp cheddar cheese (if you are using a bar or cheese, cut about a 4" piece off and grate it) 1- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt 1 tsp. ground black pepper

METHOD: -Saute the diced onion and shallot in the butter and olive oil. Once softened, stir in the minced garlic in

oil. -Add the diced potatoes and saute for several minutes. -Stir in the chicken broth and broccoli . -Simmer, covered for about 15 or 20 minutes, until all of the veggies are nice and tender. -Using an immersion blender (or a food processor or blender), puree the soup into a nice smooth, silky texture. If you are using a hand-held immersion blender, be sure to keep it touching the bottom of your pot of soup at all times while pureeing. If you happen to lift it up a bit as you are pureeing, you will be wearing most of the soup, not eating it!!! I almost did this myself as I was pureeing the soup. Haha, I just caught myself on time! -Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and heat the soup to your desired taste. Season it now with some salt and pepper. Use my above guidelines for seasoning. -This soup will serve about 6 cups or so. -NO cream is necessary here. The potatoes help to provide the thickness and creaminess. Guilt-free delicious soup! ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS:

2 egg whites at room temperature 3/4 tsp. of cream of tartar 1- 300 ml.can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk 1 tsp. pure vanilla 1 tsp. pure almond extract 4 cups of sweetened angel flake coconut

METHOD: -Set your oven to 325 degrees F. -In a spotlessly, grease-free mixing bowl, using your electric mixer, whip the room temperature egg whites until frothy. Now sprinkle in the cream of tartar. This helps to stabilize the egg whites and keep them nice and stiff. Whip until stiff peaks form. -In another bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the vanilla and almond extract. -Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites into the condensed milk mixture. -Fold in the angel flake coconut. -Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. -Using a cookie scoop for fast cookie making, (or use a rounded teaspoonful of cookie batter), drop the cookie batter onto the parchment lined baking sheets. Allow a couple of inches in between each cookie for spreading as they bake. -Bake the cookies for about 14 to 15 minutes, just uintil they turn a light golden. -Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for several minutes, before lifting them off to continue cooling on wire cooling racks. -This recipe will make about 20 large macaroons or about 36 smaller macaroons. ENJOY!

SHARYN THOMPSON, Owner of SHARYN’S PANTRY OPEN: Monday to Saturday - 9 to 5 812 Pitt Street, Unit 6, Cornwall, Ontario 613-936-1998

EASY COCONUT MACAROONS

This is such a quick and easy recipe. Whenever I have a couple of egg whites leftover from another recipe, I use them to make these macaroons. For variation, you can add some sliced almonds in the batter or on top of each macaroon, or place a piece of a cherry on top of each one for a very festive look. They are just plain delicious as they are alone!! We carry all ingredients and the handy cookie scoops needed, at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. Once you try a cookie scoop, you will be spoiled forever at how perfect and evenly sized cookie each one will be.... and so fast to do too!

It's my kind of place to have a good home cooked meal at affordable prices. Do check it out next time you're wanting a good place to eat breakfast or lunch. You won't be disappointed... I promise. The next thing I found out was that Isabelle had won two tickets to a Hypnotist Show at the Ramada. I was curious on who she was going to

by Marlene Baker

To our joy, Sandy and two other gentlemen were there. We started with a quiet meditation by Sandy. she told us that we had to walk with the timing of our breaths. After awhile we stopped and were told just to listen to the different sounds that were around us, without thinking of anything else. It was so Peaceful and Calming and very Relaxing to walk without talking or thinking and to see the beautiful sights and sounds of Mother Nature that were before us. I would highly recommend doing this with your husband/wife, boy/girlfriend or with other family members or friends. This is such a wonderful way to pass some time with the ones you love or like. I will keep you informed of the next Meditiation Walk.

Until next time.. Please Pay It Forward if Only with Smile or a kind gesture or word. Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca take with her... so I asked. "You," was the answer. I was all fired up for this Hypno Date... I was Nervous, Excited and nervous all week...Then came the day... Thursday... Was I really going to go up on stage, for the second time in my life???

The thing she had instore for me was that I had to be a music conductor who hit people on the head with my balloon baton whilst they were all playing "imaginery instruments". The slower they played, the more I bomped them on the head to get them to play faster. There was a part where we all danced to the different decades, from the 60's to today's music. After the show I went back to my table where Isabelle, Lise Parisian and three other ladies were, and asked them if I had been up there for 5 minutes and What the heck were all those balloons doing all over the stage??? You see you don't remember the things you did, whilst being hypnotized. But that all changed, when I went to say, "Thank you and Good Bye," to Kenda. A gentleman (another Hyponotist, I believe) that was beside her, was talking to her about allowing the people involved in the show to remember the things they did on stage. He went on to tell her to undo my blocked memory. When she did, I felt like there were champagne bubbles going throughout my body and I felt so refreshed and I REMEMBERED EVERYTHING!!! I laughed and laughed and laughed!!! I could not believe I had sung in front of 200 people or had made a Sex Toy that I really explained

•

Yes, No, Maybe So??? Well after a couple glasses of red wine before we left for the Ramada, and then a glass of Southern Comfort and gingerale and a couple of trips to the Ladies Room, I came back to the table to face the music...well the Hypotist, Kenda Summers. She had remembered me from the last show in July. She asked me, "Marlene are you going to go up???" I was still undecided at that point and told her so. Kenda then said, "Aww Go on up Marlene, I have something in store, just for you." Well that helped me make my decision right then and there. I didn't go...Yes, I did... hehehe. I was In like Flynn! What an experience, I experienced, to say the least. I sang, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" in front of 200 people. I pictured Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday" to the USA president in my mind. ( I DON'T SING!!!) I forgot my name, and I made a sex toy out of a long balloon called the High Thigher.

Tip of the week: It's time to get your Spring/Summer footwear out of hiding to be cleaned or fixed for the Spring Season. Time to purchase any footwear that you may need or want. All of the thrift stores like the Agape Center, Salvation Army or Value Village are stocked and ready for you to come in to see their GREAT SELECTION of Footwear!!! By purchasing from these non profit stores you are helping others in the community that are less fortunate then yourselves. Thank you from me in advance.

LIFESTYLE

Well, I must tell you all that I have had an interesting week, to say the least. Starting last Tuesday afternoon... John, my friend Isabelle, and I started off our day at Pat's Home Kitchen on Pitt Street. Val (the owner) and the waitresses are so nice and they treat us like family.

Then on Saturday afternoon John and I were invited to go on a "Meditation Walk in the Woods" with Sandy, the owner of Om Satya Yoga here in Cornwall. We had a little trouble when we first arrived, the gate to the park that we were to meet at was closed and there was a ton of snow everywhere. We then went to the other gate and waited to see if anyone would arrive there. No one did, but I did try and feed some Chick-a-dees. No now avail..there were filled up bird feeders and they weren't interested in my seeds. After 15 minutes or so we decided to go back and see if there were anyone else around. We saw some cars and decided to walk in to the parking lot where we were to meet.

Positively Marlene

The sun is brighter and warmer these days, and I can feel and smell that Spring is in the air. I saw some little green shoots coming out along my walkway the other day, which made me very happy and made me smile from earring to earring.

so well about!!! All in All a Fabulous Evening of Fun & Frivolity...to say the least.

Good Morning, Good Day or even a Good Evening to YOU, reading the most positive and most informative newspaper in Cornwall, Ontario.

I was recently listening to a workshop on Body Intelligence that discussed the Anat Baniel Method for greater vitality and intelligence. The workshop discussed that anyone, regardless of age or physical limitation, can experience renewed intensified vitality—greater health, flexibility, strength, sensuality, clarity of mind and enthusiasm, now and throughout life. Anat stated that “our level of vitality is directly connected to our brain. When the brain thrives, growing and making new connections, we are invigorated and infused with a new sense of aliveness and possibility, capable of infinitely new ways of moving, thinking, and feeling.” She further states that we increase these brain connections through movement and what she calls the “9 Essentials.” Here is a sample of the “Essentials”: 1. Movement with Attention: Movement is life and movement helps our brain think and grow. When we pay attention to our movement and how we are feeling as we move, our brain creates billions of new neurological connections. This does not happen when we do not pay attention. When we move automatically, we only reinforce old habits of behavior. 2. Subtlety: Here is scientific proof that the adage, “no pain, no gain” is not beneficial to brain health. Actually, by using less force we increase our sensitivity. As sensitivity increases, the brain is able to perceive very fine detail which in turn allows the brain to organize new information into successful action.

Dating is Relationship Proofreading We all make mistakes; some bigger than others. To address last week’s incident, I firstly would like to apologize to anyone I offended with the uncensored language in my article “Being Cheated on Helped You”. When proofreading, I accidentally overlooked some harsh words that should have been removed and for that I am sorry. Dating is like proofreading, in a way. We meet people who look great at first glance but upon further investigation and deeper probing we find things that might not mesh with our personalities, we notice inconsistencies in their personality, we see that a future together just won’t happen. But, like proof reading, dating around is necessary to get the perfect result. You don’t just give up when you find an error. You don’t just throw the towel in and stop writing. You work to fix it and you learn from it and you use it to make yourself and your work better. So, just because some relationships haven’t panned out recently and your dating pool seems to be shrinking, you can’t get discouraged.

3. Variation: When we insert variation and playfulness into our lives, we provide our brains with a richness of information it needs to Every day you are adding a new page to the book of YOU and every create new possibilities in our movements, feelings, thoughts, and date you go on and new relationship you get into will shape your BUSINESSES! of out us lifting our senses and awareness, actions.

5. Awareness: According to Anat Baniel awareness is to be knowledgeable about what you are doing, sensing, thinking, and experiencing at any given moment. When you are aware, you are fully alive and present. Your brain is working at its highest level, noticing subtle nuances of what is going on around and within you, revealing options and potentials, greatly accelerating learning. You are enlivened and joyful, contributing to others, becoming more enlightened, and fulfilling more and more of your human destiny. By applying these “Essential” principles to your life, you create greater neural pathways, to experience life to its fullest. Yoga provides the means to apply these principles to your life. In yoga, we move with attention and bring awareness to our breath and poses. We move slowly and deliberately, creating greater neural pathways and enhancing the communication between the brain’s two hemispheres. In yoga, we experience variation and subtlety, keeping the brain working and perceiving.

only stepping stones to something much greater and that you’ll appreciate the right person a lot more because of it. Don’t think of the people who didn’t work out as uncensored mistakes; for nothing is really a mistake if you learn from it. You are only proofreading your dating pool and soon you will see it all come together. As for me, you can rest assured that I have learned from my mistakes. Even though I never intended to hurt or offend anyone, I know that I did and it’s safe to say I can add this experience to my life chapter entitled “Cursing Isn't Cool”.

On Wednesday, March 19th, Canadians will gather at select Cineplex locations across the country and join a global audience of over 1400 cinemas across 32 countries viewing the Royal Ballet’s production of The Sleeping Beauty as it is broadcast live via satellite from the Covent Garden stage of the prestigious Royal Opera House in London UK.

The timeless ruins and shadowy, creeping trees contrast with the opulent gilt of the Royal court scenes in a visually spectacular production. This is all set against Tchaikovsky’s remarkable score, one of the most-loved ballet scores of all time. With Disney’s Maleficent hitting Cineplex cinemas this coming May, this is the perfect opportunity for longtime fans and those new to the ballet to see the classic in all its glory before it is retold.

For screening times call: 613-932-4500, 1325 Second Street East, Cornwall http://www.cineplex.com/Theatre/galaxy-cinemas-cornwall

LE COIN de la FRANCOPHONIE

L’Amalgame, lieux d’échange et jeux de par tage

Ouf! Le Gars de Québec est passé... Une expérience enrichissante mais essoufflante. Un véritable marathon! Six représentations sur deux fins de semaine consécutives et exaltantes. Ensuite il a fallu plier bagages pour libérer les Dream Builder Studios. La chorale, les Écrilibristes, les Mille Feuilles, n’ont pas fait relâche. Ça s’est terminé en beauté avec une semaine en compagnie des petits-enfants. Qui disait qu’à la retraite on s’ennuie ?

Les jeudis, à l’Église Sainte-Thérèse, le Chœur en Fête prépare son tour de chant du printemps. Le 25 mars 2014, à la bibliothèque publique de Cornwall, la porte sera récitée et chantée, sur tous les tons, par les Écrilibristes. Le 1er avril, les Mille Feuilles échangeront leurs coups de cœur, leurs suggestions de lecture, de chansons et de musique. Mais n’oubliez surtout pas le 27 mars journée mondiale du théâtre...

«… Nous nous rassemblons pour pleurer et se souvenir; pour rire et contempler; pour apprendre, affirmer et imaginer. Pour s’émerveiller, pour avoir le souffle coupé face à notre capacité pour la beauté, la compassion et la monstruosité. Nous venons pour l’énergie et le pouvoir. Pour célébrer la richesse de nos différentes cultures et pour dissoudre les frontières qui nous divisent. (...) »

Le dramaturge sud-africain Brett Bailey est l'auteur du message international de la Journée Mondiale du Théâtre 2014. Cet artiste du bout du monde représente bien les artistes de L’Amalgame des arts de la langue française et du théâtre. Ce que nous savons le mieux faire c’est de partager notre enthousiasme.
