100 days of happy

I am sure by now that I am totally sounding like a broken record to you. For the last 3 weeks, I have been rambling about hashtag this, social media that, and I truly apologize to those of you who do not spend a lot of time on the internet.

I’m sorry to say I have to do it again this week, but happy to report that contrarily to previous weeks, this week’s trend can be followed online and offline.

100 HAPPY DAYS was launched on December 30th of last year by a 27 year old guy living in Switzerland. It is a positive, simple social media

experiment that invites people to share a photo of something that makes them happy, every day, for 100 days. They post it on their social media of choice, along with a short explanation of the picture and the hashtag 100HappyDays. They can also use one of its variations, or a customized one. (I use

#100daysofhappy). The website--100happydays.com--claims that 71% of those who tried the challenge didn’t finish it and quoted “lack of time” as the number one reason why. But how much time does it take to post a pic really? Do they just don’t have time to be happy? I started my own challenge on March 28th and I have to admit that doing so has caused me to stop, pause, reflect and truly appreciate the things that I have photographed thus far. Being conscious of what makes you happy can do wonders in your life. This challenge is just a fun easy way to increase your awareness. By doing this for a whole 100 days, it will also create a new habit, the habit of daily thankfulness, that will probably stick with you long after the challenge is done. Perhaps you won’t be posting a reminder of things, people or moments anymore, but you will take mental pictures which you will cherish forever. I invite you to hop on board, even if you are not an internet user; take a good ol’ pen and paper to keep a journal inventory of your moments. Be creative, Make a scrapbook... Why would you do that? (taken from the website)

People successfully completing the challenge claimed to: - Start noticing what makes them happy every day; - Be in a better mood every day; - Start receiving more compliments from other people; - Realize how lucky they are to have the life they have; - Become more optimistic; - Fall in love during the challenge.

Even when the challenge is over, your collected 100 happy moments can always remind you about the beauty of your life.

Trillium plans to re s u m e operations along Cornwall Harbour - The work by Trillium may resume as early as this week at the Cornwall Harbour site owned by Transpor t Canada. Trillium and Transpor t Canada have entered into a lease for the construction and use of tanks on the site. The City of Cornwall has been and remains opposed to the ongoing use of the Cornwall Harbour for the transpor tation and storage of calcium chloride. The City has not provided any approval for this project; Transport Canada has maintained that it has sole jurisdiction over development on the lands. “I am disappointed that Trillium has chosen to not recognize the City ’s Interim Control Bylaw,” said Mayor Bob Kilger. “I remain optimistic that a solution exists that will see a permanent end to this activity on Cornwall’s waterfront through the divestiture process.” The divestiture negotiation process with the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and Transport Canada has been initiated and is ongoing. The ultimate goal is for the City of Cornwall and the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne to take ownership of the Harbour lands, which would include the site in question.

Health Care Rally — On Monday March 31st there was be a Healthcare rally to call for renewal of the 10year federal-provincial health accord which expired on March 31, 2014. Elaine M acD onald and Diane Morin, co-chairs of the Cornwall chapter of the Ontario Health Coalition organized the march. At the local and provincial levels, especially in Ontario, healthcare funding is being progressively constrained and reduced. The Health Accord of 2004, which delivered a consistent level of funding from the federal government to the provinces and territories, expires on Monday. The federal government has steadily refused to negotiate a new accord and it is estimated that the alternative proposed by Jim Flaherty when he was minister of finance, will withdraw 36 billion from health spending over the next ten years.

Hi to all you lovely ladies and handsome gents reading Cornwall's most read paper, the Seeker. The ONLY paper in Cornwall in which you will find ONLY Informative, Positive and Upbeat NEWS!!! I hope you all have survived the last wrath of Old Man Winter throwing his temper tantrums because of having to leave for another few seasons. Mother Nature has returned and is here to stay. She's beaming her sunrays and warming up the temperatures each day, allowing for another Spring Season to begin. It's time to get out all of your Spring and Summer things everyone. Like your shorts, shirts, skirts & sandals (or crocks, for those who like those plastic things they call footwear.) Time to get out the bikes & balls, skipping ropes, the scooters & skateboards, the patio tables & chairs. You know what I mean - time for the rakes & shovels to come out, to do all of your yard work to get those flower beds & gardens readied for another year of growing. Happy "Spring Time" Everyone.

Last Friday I had a most pleasant and really fun experience of going to the Port Theater to attend a wonderful tribute show of the band, Queen. John's and my tickets were given to us by a renown Cornwall promoter of the Port Theater, Jeff Brunet. He promotes all types of Bands & Tributes here and around the Cornwall area. Jeff's your man, for Promoting. It was my very first concert at the Port Theatre and I LOVED every moment of it!!! The band members were all fantastic musicians and singers that entertained everyone that attended, last Friday evening. I really enjoyed the different outfit changes of the lead singer, "Freddy Mercury." He was really believable with his many different moves and his voice was awesomely awesome. If you have or get the chance, or if you're just plain curious, please take some time out of your busy schedules and check out the Port Theatre for upcoming events. Such as this month, a tribute to the Beatles will be playing there. I hope that you all will come out to show and give your support for this beautiful, nostalgic old movie theater that was built in the late 1930's and opened it's

doors to the public in 1941. For Without Your Support... There Will Be No Port!!! Tip of the Week: Time to "get out" and "air out" all of your footwear ladies and gents. If you have a balcony or even a window ledge will do to out them out to get sanitized by the sun and freshened up with the fresh Spring air. Time to bring them to the Shoester or shoemaker to get them re-soled and or rezippered if need be. Time to choose to Keep, to Throw away or to Donate to the many different Thrift stores here in Cornwall. By donating to the Salvation Army, the Agape Center or to Value Village you are helping those in our community that are less fortunate tham yourselves. Thank you kindly in advance. Another couple of NEW EXPERIENCES for me were that I attended my first Meditation and Weight Loss Yoga classes with Sandy of OmSatya Yoga last week. I had always wanted to take Yoga, but never had the opportunity over the years to do so. So I changed that and attended my first class, last Tuesday night. Each class is for an hour and you get to be bare-footed, wear comfortable clothes (shorts & t-shirt, or yoga or jogging clothes) and you get yourself relaxed with beautiful melodical music in the background. Sandy, the instructor went over the different breathing and meditation techniques to help each participant. You are exercising not only your body but your mind as well. After the class I didn't feel all exhausted and out of breath like when I had gone to a "normal gym". I was calm and felt rested and quite happy. The Meditation class was pretty much the same as the Yoga class, but without doing the different positions and exercises. This class teaches you to slow down, calm down and to relax. Something we humans of today don't really do, or know how. Sandy is a really good instructor and makes everyone attending her classes feel calm and very comfortable. If you or anyone that you know who may be interested and want to check out a class or two go to Sandy's site on face book OmSatya Yoga for details of classes and times. Namaste. Until next time...LIVE Well, LAUGH Often, LOVE Much and WEAR "Cute" Shoes. and Please Don't Forget to ~Pay It Forward~ in some small way or Do Some Kind Gesture to help change or make somebody's day. Smile, if only for awhile. Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca for all of your photographic needs.

SEEKER SNAPSHOTS by Mai-Liis Renaud Awesome rendition of “ Bohemian Rhapsody” ...

Last Friday evening we were treated, as Marlene above states, to a wonderful performance at the Port Theatre, by Queen Flash, a Queen tribute band from Montreal. Mandy Woods, a local singer opened for the band. A wonderful time was had by all who attended. Looking forward to “Revolution” the Beatles Tribute on Friday, April 11.

What conditions may be linked to oral health?

brushing and flossing, will generally keep them under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, microorganisms from oral infections can enter the blood stream or airways and travel to other parts of the body. This can lead or increase the risk for other types of health problems.

Your oral health might affect, be affected by, or contribute to various diseases and conditions, including:

• Cardiovascular disease. Several studies link periodontitis to the development of cardiovascular problems. Some research suggests that chronic inflammation and infection caused by oral bacteria might be linked to heart disease, clogged arteries and stroke.

• Endocarditis. Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of your heart. It typically occurs when bacteria or other germs from another part of your body, such as your mouth, spread through your bloodstream and attach to damaged areas in your heart.

• Pregnancy and birth. Pregnancy and the changing hormone levels that occur with it can exaggerate some dental problems. Periodontitis has been linked to premature birth and low birth weight. Bacteria from gum disease may trigger an inflammatory response that might induce premature labour and delivery.

• Diabetes. Gum disease appears to be more frequent and severe among people who have diabetes than those without. Diabetes reduces the body's resistance to infection therefore the gums are more at risk. Some studies suggest that people who have gum disease have a harder time controlling their blood sugar levels.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Given the strong link between periodontitis and systemic health problems, prevention is an important tool in maintaining overall health.

• Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day. • Clean between your teeth with floss or another type of interdental cleaner once a day. • Eat a balanced diet and healthy snacks. • Schedule regular dental checkups.

Contact your dentist if you see any of these signs: • gums that bleed during brushing and flossing; • red, swollen or tender gums; • gums that have pulled away from your teeth; • persistent bad breath; • pus (yellowish substance) between your teeth and gums; • loose or separating teeth; • a change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite; • a change in the fit of partial dentures. Make sure to inform your dentist about changes in your overall health, such as any recent illnesses or chronic conditions like diabetes. Provide an updated health history, including medication use. Know that your oral health can offer clues about your overall health — or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. Taking good care of your teeth and gums can really help you live well longer and prevention is the key.

• Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weak and brittle, might be linked with periodontal bone loss and tooth loss. • Alzheimer's disease. Tooth loss before age 35 might be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.

FROG AND TOAD

• Respiratory disorders. Some respiratory infections are caused by inhaling micro-organisms from the mouth and throat into the lungs. When these micro-organisms reach the lower respiratory tract, they may cause an infection or worsen an existing lung infection such as pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

I was looking through our photos on the computer this morning, and this got me thinking about summer, and about birds. I always like to look at peoples’ yards and see what kinds of trees they have planted, what choice of flowers they like, and to notice how bird and wildlife friendly they are. ” What wildlife?”, you must be asking. Diana Beresford-Kroeger in her book, “The Global Forest” gives us city dwellers a challenge: plant trees and shrubs on our little cubes of earth to provide habitat for bird, insects, bees, and squirrels. It sounds simple, but it involves letting go of our need to have the perfect lawn, the manicured hedges, the petunias all in a row. She says, in her book, that we have, collectively, the capability of providing a good portion of the habitat that wild birds need. She goes on to talk about the properties of certain trees, and how they maintain our clean air, give off medicinal scents, and provide homes for birds. Her strong clear message is this: start planting! Perhaps it is the variety of colour, form and sound that makes birds so appealing to many humans. I might agree that we do not “need” to see the elusive American bittern, but honestly, have you ever seen one , with its beak pointing straight up, or heard it’s very distinctive and repetitive “kerglump, ker glump, ker glump” as it moves through rushes in search of food? And what about the magnificent Sandhill Crane which I’ve now seen on the Bruce Peninsula, and on Manitoulin Island? These huge birds have no monetary value in the strictest sense, but are priceless just the same. Most of us cannot provide habitats for these birds in our back yards, but we could see birds of prey, finches, and countless song birds back there, if we chose to plant native species that they can get food from. We could wake up to the melodic sound of birds in our backyards, if we plan what trees and bushes we buy. Let’s think about this as we head to the garden centres in the next few weeks.

KRISCROSSROADS by Kris Ward

Sometimes life seems so cylindrical, it often appears we end up back to where we started. True; life can take us on some crazy twists and turns, and we change paths, sometimes on a whim or as part of a long-routed dream. Whatever it is, there is comfort and a sense of belonging to going back to the beginning.

CORNWALL SCRABBLE RESULTS March 2014 By Vivianne Panizzon, Club Director

---------------------------------------------Highest Average Linda Poirier 369 pts.

This week I finally said goodbye to my place in Kingston. My friend Kim was with me in those final moments and as I closed the door to lock it, she asked if I wanted to go back in and look around, one more time, and at first, I hesitated, but then stepped in again. There were no regrets, no pangs of 'am I doing the right thing', I was ready.

Highest Score Norma Forsyth 436 pts.

I returned my keys, and left without even the slightest tinge of nostalgia. I'll return frequently to Kingston for work and to see friends, but I longed to be back home in Cornwall. It was a beautiful place, but it never really felt like where I belonged. As I made my way back east on the highway, I was anxious to see my exit.

Some may think it is a fear of moving on, but it isn't and down the road, who knows, but at this time, it feels right. I am still buried in boxes, trying to figure out what stays and what goes, I have not settled in yet, but I also spent my weekends in Kingston for the last month and unpacking fell to the wayside. Little by little I will ease in to my new surroundings.

Returning to something is not a sign of weakness, sometimes it is a sign of strength, the ability to see potential and opportunity that may not have been present before. Life is full of ebbs and flows and it can be tough to navigate, but when something feels right, you have to try.

I may be in the minority but one of my favourite shows "How I Met Your Mother" ended a 9 year run this week, and the reaction to the ending was polarized, you either loved it or hated it, personally I loved it. I don't want to give away the ending, but to find out that the scenes with the kids was filmed 9 years ago and that they had determined the real meaning to the show then, has left fans baffled. Without spoilers it is clear that this story was about the bonds of friendship, the messy way things can go off the rails, that paths can change, people can enter and leave your life and that loss occurs. In the end, it is not where we live, what we have, or where we gather that matters, it is staying connected with the ones that matter. Sometimes you have to go back to where it all began.

Back to where it all began

with Carol Grant Each week we will be featuring a local non-profit, charity or helpful organization here in our beautiful city in the “Focus on the Good” section. 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.

Our WEEKLY LOOK at CHARITIES & ORGANIZATIONS in our COMMUNITY!

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.

The Beatles Tribute show is sold out.

There are a handful of tickets left and they will only be available at the Port. All the volunteers are pumped and it's going to be a great night. This is also going to be big night for Al McGimpsey

This is the month to take yourself and your kid outside to sketch. Focus in on the poking green and the new buds on the trees. Look at the things we normally look past, and sketch a close up in your sketchbook.

and his band LANDMARK.

They're a local band and this will be a night to remember for them. The Cornwall music scene needs a venue like the Port, we can't let it go the way the Capitol did!

Since it is still a bit chilly out there, there’s no harm in snapping some different photos to help add some details at the end of your exploring session. I am always snapping photos of budding flowers, and they always come in handy when I’m stuck.

Thanks for your help in making this a success.

If your child isn’t so enthralled with drawing what’s naturally there, encourage them to add some details that aren’t there. Try rendering the sketch on water colour paper, adding salt over the wet bits where some texture is needed. Add a monster to the background. Turn the tree into a beast.

Mark A. MacDonald

Spring is so full of artistic opportunities. Take it all in, and take notice of every little bit of change. Not only will you be fulfilling a creative need for your child, and showing them how to find beauty in simple things, but also encouraging their awareness and knowledge of science.

The Seeker is a proud sponsor of this show

Come and visit us this Saturday at the Healthy Living Show Agora Centre - 11am-3pm for a chance to SPIN THE WHEEL and win tickets to this show!

Exploration is how kids learn the most. This is becoming more and more prevalent in our classrooms as more and more teachers adapt their teaching methods into inquiry-based learning. You can encourage this through art at home by simply taking a walk. You may learn something too.

Show is SOLD OUT

Spring is nearly here. This is the time of year where my art reaches its prime. I am so inspired by the fresh air, the lilac trees filling my backyard with incredible scents, and the bits of green poking through the ground and past last bits of snow that want to enjoy the spring too.

NEWS FLASHES from the SEEKER WEBSITE

The Creation Science Centre certainly has "evolved" since its opening in 2012. Article and photos by: Julia Lucio "We don't like to say evolve!" said John Lounsberry jokingly after I dropped the "EVOLUTION" word in my conversation with him when I revisited the centre last Monday. "We prefer to say grow" he said with a smile.

mythology, dinosaurs, biology and archeology.

John is the Head Researcher at the museum and has worked relentlessly to put together this impressive collection. The museum is an open-minded science centre which touches on various topics such as astronomy, geology,

It currently has well over 200 artifacts on display, spanned over 5 different rooms, including an audio video section. The exhibition is partly hands-on which makes it interesting enough for kids to stay entertained and it is technical enough for all the science buffs out there to be challenged. It's surely is an interesting way to spend an afternoon. The Creation Science Centre is located at 780 Sydney Street www.creationsciencecentre.ca

Land Purchased for New Cornwall Elementary School The Upper Canada District School Board has purchased ten acres of land that will be used to build a new 400-pupil elementary school to replace the aging East Front Public School and Gladstone Public School. Trustees approved a motion at their regular meeting in Brockville Wednesday night to purchase land from the City of Cornwall and a private landowner at a total cost of $775,000, said Jeremy Hobbs, Chief Information and Facilities Officer. The land is located at the southeast corner of Marleau Avenue and Nick Kaneb Drive. Second Vice Chair David McDonald said he was excited the project is moving forward and will establish the four-school elementary system for the city originally envisioned by the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) more than a decade ago. While there were other priorities for the Board in school construction, McDonald said he is gratified to see the project coming together. “It’s been ten years and this is definitely a highlight of my political career,” said McDonald of news the project is moving forward. “I am excited to get started. This is a good thing for Cornwall and a good thing for the students at East Front and Gladstone who are looking forward to having a new building in the near future.” The Ministry of Education has approved funding for construction and PBK Architects of Cornwall will be handling the design of the new school. The firm was behind the successful design of North Grenville District High School in Kemptville and Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute. The amount of provincial funding secured for the project is not being disclosed to protect the integrity of the tendering process, said Hobbs.

East Front, located on Montreal Road, was originally built in 1934, with additions in 1954 and 1991. Gladstone, located on McConnell Avenue, was built in 1954.

Currently, the project is at the design stage. No name has yet been chosen for the school. Following approval of the designs, the project will go to tender to choose a general contractor. The tentative opening date is September 2016.

SPEC OPS Program Brings Active Living, Character Development and Leadership Training to Students at Eamer’s Corners Public School

Students at Eamer’s Corners Public School are getting fit and developing character and leadership skills through a unique program called SPEC OPS. The program encourages students in Grades 3-6 to volunteer two lunch hours a week attending the sessions, which focus on character and fitness development centred around the three pillars of: active living; character development and student leadership. Every Friday, 88 SPEC OPS participants also enjoy a sports day. Students attend the sessions and spend the first five minutes in discussions with Principal Kieran Kennedy or other staff “Champions” – including staff members Erin Davidson, Sylvie Sabourin, and Lianne Chaput – who facilitate rich discussions and experiences for students. The rest of the sessions are devoted to rigorous fitness training with exercises ranging from mountain climbing to burpees – exercises students can do at home. “We are using school as a living lab to develop and recognize character and develop student leaders,” said Kennedy. “SPEC OPS is a dynamic vehicle for children to develop skills and fitness and to be exposed to lessons of character to become better human beings. “Student engagement increases because students have a reason to come to school and to demonstrate all the great things they can do to make school and their community a better place.” The students are split into different units including: Bravo, Grade 3; Alpha, Grades 4-6 (moderate physical training); and JTF2, Grades 4-6 (intensive physical training). Students earn character rankings by demonstrating behavior that is consistent with the virtues of respect and responsibility – rankings that include bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Students who attain a platinum character level and can pass a final rigorous fitness test are granted membership in the elite Delta unit. Students are given their own ID badges created by volunteers Rebecca Besner and Renee Seguin-Lalonde, who keep track of attendance and other accomplishments such as student recognition and registration to ensure the program runs smoothly. The SPEC OPS program also offers a Ranger unit, developed to help struggling students learn basic life and social skills. The students are given program goals, such as developing a positive attitude and learning how to work with others. They are given a basic rank, and every two weeks if they have attained their goals for that section they are rewarded with a promotion to a higher rank. The SPEC OPS program helps Kennedy and his staff members connect with the children at the school – something that is important for a principal, teacher or parent volunteer to do. Regular character assemblies are held to recognize students for their achievements, to promote them through the campaign, and to honour them for acts of character. Three times a year, SPEC OPS students are treated to fun days. During the last session, students were taken to Lamoureaux Park for swimming, and then to the Benson Centre where they enjoyed indoor sports.

En parlant d’histoire...

par Klaudia Veltheim

L'histoire est une science, des sociétés et un dialogue entre le passé et le présent. L'histoire est l'histoire elle-même, en marche, c'est l'avenir en fabrication. L'interprétation du passé est aussi énigmatique que l'interprétation de l'avenir, il exige une brillante préméditation et de perception, si nous l'avons. Qu'est-ce que nous avons tous, cependant, sont des pièces de casse-têtes, des faits concrets, que ce soit en forme de documents, actes juridiques, articles de journaux, la comptabilité des souvenirs de famille, ou en forme d'un journal ou d’albums de photos. C’est ce genre d'information qui nous fournissent les événements, les coutumes, les styles et le cadre d'esprit et nous donnent l'existence dont nous jouissons aujourd'hui. Chaque culture a son propre cadre d’esprit. Dans le grand tableau, nos petits morceaux de casse-têtes peuvent être joints avec de petits morceaux d'autres cultures pour former un casse-tête plus gros que nous pouvons connecter à d'autres gros morceaux. C’est ensuite que nous nous rendons compte que ce casse-tête est vraiment multi- facettes et en trois dimensions à tous niveaux ... Les livres d'histoire sont remplis d'exemples et informations factuels. Ces livres sont également l’histoire en fabrication. C’est ce que le groupe Vintage Cornwall est au groupe de gens, il comprends. C'est une méthode mutuelle et interactive de partager de nos pièces de casse-têtes afin de découvrir autres pièces manquantes et faire les connexions, passé et présent. Il s’agît d'envisager le combat d'armes à feu qui s'est passé sur les rives de Pointe Maligne et l'île de Cornwall par ses habitants, et de réaliser pourquoi. Il s’agît d'entendre ce que nos ancêtres ont dit aux enfants de leurs enfants et de comprendre comment. Espérons que dans l'obtention de réponses, nous pouvons apprendre du passé et appliquer ces connaissances à l'avenir. Notre passé est une partie intégrale de la clef algorithmique qui se connecte à notre avenir. En abordant l'histoire de Cornwall, il est important de mettre de côté nos préjugés et de présenter tous les morceaux qui nous sont connus, des artefacts et des documents, même si ils nous font mal à l'aise. C’est seulement de cette façon que l'histoire sera connue et moins sujet à interprétation basée sur la perception.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE RUB: 4 tbsp. cajun spice 6 tbsp. granulated garlic powder 6 tbsp. granulated onion powder 6 tbsp. Hungarian paprika 4 tbsp. smoked paprika 3 tbsp. rubbed Greek oregano 4 tbsp. ground cumin 2 tbsp. ground coriander 2 tbsp. dry mustard 2 tbsp. ground black pepper 2 tbsp. Kosher salt (not regular salt) 2 tbsp. white sugar

METHOD: -In a small saucepan, boil the apple cider vinegar and the white sugar, until the sugar is dissolved. Allow this to cool. Then add to it, the canola oil, Kosher salt and dry mustard. Mix well to combine. I use a whisk. Set this aside while you prepare the vegetables. -Add the can of green beans along with their liquid into a large bowl. -Drain the can of party beans, rinsing well with cold water after you drain them. Add them into the bowl with the green beans. -Chop the vegetables and add them in. -Stir the cooled dressing mixture over the bean salad ingredients. Gently combine everything. -The salad will improve in flavour if you allow it to sit in your fridge for at least a few hours before serving. You can make this the day before your meal and it will simply get better. -This salad will keep 5 or 6 days in your fridge. ENJOY!!!!

•

TO USE: Use 1 tablespoon of the spice rub per pound of meat or on a rotisserie chicken. To apply, just rub it over the raw meat or poultry using your fingertips. Once the rub is on, cover the meat lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the meat up to 24 hours. Then get your barbecue heated up and start cooking!

INGREDIENTS: 1 cup of apple cider vinegar ( We carry Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. It is the best to use anytime.) 1 cup of white sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 2 tbsp. of canola oil 1 tsp. Kosher salt 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper 1 - 19 oz. can of green beans ( or use fresh garden beans, steamed to tender crisp ) 1- 19 oz. can of Clic party beans ( This is a mixture of all different kinds of beans all in one can, I love to use them. We carry them at my store.) 1 large Vidalia or purple onion, chopped 1 cup of celery, diced 1 roasted red pepper, chopped

A GOOD BARBECUE SPICE RUB

We sell all of the spices needed for this rub at my store, Sharyn's Pantry, if you need any. You can use this spice rub 2 ways: a) Sprinkle the rub over the meat or poultry just before you plan to grill it. b) Apply the rub a day in advance over the meat. e.g. pork ribs or a nice steak. The flavour will be much deeper and delicious as when the spice sits, it will enhance the flavour of the meat.

EASY BEAN SALAD

•

I have a good barbecue dry rub recipe using a whole bunch of spices. You probably have most of them in your pantry already. If not, come in to my store. Once you mix it up, just store it in a tightly closed mason jar and you will be all set to add great flavour to any meat or poultry you plan to barbecue. My recipe for an easy bean salad goes so well for any supper. It is great to bring along as part of your lunch as well. This morning, I saw several robins back from their wintering down south. Then I saw a flock of Canada geese flying in the distance. I am so glad to see the end of our long, long winter! Our barbecue is already all dusted oﬀ and waiting for Gary to cook. Have a great week!

People often ask me, the secret to the success of Zumba we now call a lifestyle. I have one word! The members! I call them family. Our ZwithC family is deeply connected – not by a passion for dance, but by something that is much deeper – a passion for living. We have the the philosophy of living life to its fullest. This is what sets us apart as a family, In this family, we stick together. In this family, we grow together. In this family, we pride ourselves in the fact that we are changing our community one party at a time. Over the years I have witnessed just how powerful our family can be when times are tough. If you have not yet experienced a Zumba class, do yourself a favour… join the party and become part of a movement.

with Lisa Blanchard

In addition, it gives you a total body workout unlike any other around. You will quickly find that your stress level is reduced and your energy is increased. Not to mention the weight loss, muscle toning and other results that get people hooked. With Zumba, the fun comes first, the physical benefits follow. The calorie burning is not a chore unlike traditional cardio classes.

BRIAN’S DAY in support of BRIAN “ RUSS” TARDIFF raises $38,900 The one day event known as Brian’s Day in support of Brian “Russ” Tardiff’s personal journey with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) raised $38,900. The Benson Centre was buzzing on Saturday March 8th as hundreds of people who have the privilege to know, played for, played with or simply enjoy Brian and his wife Sue’s company helped raise funds to assist the Tardiffs as they battle the progressive neurodegenerative disease. “Since the diagnosis, we’ve had nothing but an outpouring of love and support, and I have been honoured and humbled by the overwhelming kindness from everyone,” said a very emotional Tardiff. “Over the years I’ve bonded with you, connected with you, become tied to you. On March 8th, I felt the full strength of those connections, and it was beyond my wildest expectations. Never could I have imagined the caring support that I have received.” The Cornwall Girls Hockey Association along with Rod McLeod, Geoff and Sharon Smith, Angie Baker and David Murphy played a key role in ensuring the event’s success. “It was an opportunity to help one of our own in a time of need and the community’s generosity and sense of giving was never more evident,” said CGHA President Rod McLeod. “The sports community is truly one big family and it came through with more support than we ever could’ve imagined,” added Geoff Smith. “This is also our chance to thank the dozens of volunteers who helped make the event an unprecedented success,” said Angie Baker. Cornwall will host a 5km Walk for ALS on Saturday, June 7th at St. Lawrence College.

Packrat Organization 101 with Marie Morrell

Things You SHOULD or SHOULD NOT Carry In Your Purse or Wallet Part 2 of 2 -Things You Should Never Carry Each year, millions of people lose, misplace, or get their wallets and purses stolen. Then they find themselves living in fear that someone now has all of their personal information. To make it easier to report a card lost or stolen, I make a photocopy - both sides - of all my cards (bank, credit, and driver's license cards, etc.) and keep the copy at home in a fire proof save. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes. Often, because we tend to carry so much of our personal information with us, it is much easier for a thief to obtain your information, ruin your credit, and destroy your life. Canceling everything you were carrying after you lose them is very stressful, and depending on what you’ve lost, can be very costly. • Do not carry your own personal social security card or the cards of your children. Memorize the number and keep the cards in a safe and secure place at home. • For employment or application purposes, a copy of your card provided at the time needed will suffice.

Social Security Card

• Keep your original Birth Certificate, along with your social security card, in a safe, secure, and fire-proof place. You can make copies for employment or application purposes as required.

Birth Certificate

• It is wise to carry no more than two credit cards in case of an emergency. If for some reason one card won’t work, you’ll have the second card for backup.

More Than Two Credit Cards

• Many companies require their employees to carry identification cards which give access to their place of work. A thief can use this information to verify where you work for purposes of stealing your identity.

Employee Identification Card

•

Large Amounts of Cash •

Only carry as much cash as you are willing to lose.

Precious Items •

Many people carry with them precious items with sentimental value. Losing them can be devastating. Keep those things safe at home!

Checkbook •

Keep your checkbook in a safe place; use it when you need to and put it back when you’re done.

Important Papers and Receipts • •

Keep all of your important papers, receipts, and documents at home in a safe or filing cabinet.

Bank Account or Pin Numbers, E-Mail Passwords, and Alarm Codes

•

Do not carry these in a wallet or purse. If you cannot remember important passwords you need to use on a regular basis, store them on a protected computer or phone.

Gift Cards and Certificates •

Leave these at home until you’ve picked a day to use them. They are as good as money, and you don’t have to show an ID to buy stuff with them.

USB Data Storage Devices •

It can be very problematic if a thief gets a hold of one of these, since they often can contain confidential files, personal information, and all of your hard work.

Receipts • •

Some receipts contain your credit card information and signature, which opens the door for identity theft and forgery. If a thief has access to your address and can see what you bought on a receipt, they may find it motivation to rob your house.

Unprotected Cell Phone •

A cell phone without a password is a dangerous thing to carry around. If your phone does not have a password option, then carry it in a pocket or on your body instead of in a bag. If it’s a smartphone, a thief might have full access to your email and other personal information if it’s stored in your phone.

•

Traveling Abroad With a Passport You can’t really travel across international borders without carrying your passport; therefore, pack extra passport photos and a photocopy of your passport information in case the original document is lost or stolen. • Leave these documents and photos in the hotel safe. This will make getting a replacement easier and protect you from other identity theft dangers.
