We can also TRANSFER your VHS HOME MOVIES to DVD - 613-932-4812 It’s a very hectic start to what promises to be an even more hectic summer. First and foremost, we are hosting the fourth annual SEEKERS CHOICE AWARDS this weekend at the Cornwall Golf and Country club. This event is also a fundraiser for the Centre for the Arts Collective, a group who is working very hard to see the realisation of an Art Centre become a reality in our beautiful city. The event, which will honour small businesses, artists, athletes and volunteers in our community is now sold out. We would like to thank all our wonderful sponsors without whom this event would not be possible. This is the first of many happenings taking place this summer that the Seeker is actively involved in promoting, sponsoring or even manning. In addition to the support we regularly give to all the wonderful shows Sylvain Sound and Alkaline Entertainment bring to the Port Theater Stage almost weekly, we also will be covering in depth Lift-Off, Ribfest and Waterfest. Because Arts and Culture is such a soft spot for us here at the Seeker, we will be helping with Focus Art’s first ever TAG show entitled SUMMER IN THE CITY/ L’été dans ma ville, taking place from July 10 to July 26 inclusively at the Art Gallery. The event, spearheaded by Linda Geisel and myself (but mainly her…) and curated by Manjeet Kolbinger will feature Focus Art’s members. It’s a BIG event, requiring a lot of organization and volunteers. Please show your love for the Arts by visiting the exhibit and supporting the volunteers and artists that pour their souls into this project. The Art Gallery will be open from Tuesday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm with some private viewings Then, in September, we will be hosting the first Kidz Expo, in October will help with the CBN trade show and the Woman Show in March. And of course, let’s not forget the Municipal Elections also in October… Yes, we’re running, we’re busy, but we wouldn’t want it any other way! 'If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.' --Jim Rohn

Majority of eligible voters in SDSG did not cast a vote - The majority of eligible voters in SDSG did not cast a vote in the Ontario Election of 2014. 49.9% of eligible voters in t h i s r i d i n g v o t e d, w h i l e 5 0 . 1 % o f e l i g i b l e voters did not. Incumbent MPP Jim McDonell received 50.2% of the popular vote. The other four candidates combined for 49.8% of the vote. Jim McDonell finished 10,170 votes ahead of second place John Earle. Elaine MacDonald who many pundits thought was going to finish in second, actually received less total votes versus 2011, but her p e rc e n t a g e o f t h e p o p u l a r vo t e did increase slightly. Green Candidate Sharon Norman who w a s n o t a t t h e d e b a te s a n d d i d not have any signs up in this riding finished with over a thousand votes, about twice as many as the Libertarian candidate Shawn McRae. Despite scandals and wasted tax dollars, The Ontario Liberals finished with a majority government and Kathleen Wynee becomes the first elected female Premier of Ontario. The first new job opening in the Million Jobs plan is Tim Hudak’s job as leader of Ontario’s Progressive Conser vatives. Only 999,999 more jobs to create Tim! The PCs reckless policies cost them quite a few seats and turned off many Ontario voters. The NDP finished with small gains, with a slight increase of the popular vote, versus the 2011 election.

Sports & Lifestyle River Kings get fan favourite Anthony Pittarelli back at Draft Cornwall River Kings LNAH draft results - It’s been a busy week for River Kings general manager Mitch Gagne. The River Kings new GM made his four th trade of the week on Saturday afternoon at the LNAH draft in Sorel, re acquiring sparkplug Anthony Pittarelli from Laval for a sixth-round pick. “Pittarelli is already a fan favourite,” said Gagne. “He’ll be looking for a fresh start in Cornwall and he’ll have a better understanding of his role here.” And then there was the draft itself, as Cornwall added nine more players to its fold. The River Kings first pick didn’t come until the fourth round, 31st overall. They selected a 23-year-old defencemen from Valleyfield, Mathieu Leduc. Local defenceman Jason Lepine was selected by the River Kings in the fifth round. Cornwall also selected Billy Ulrick, who recently finished his Jr. A career with the Colts. Earlier this week, the River Kings also re -acquired popular defenceman Mario Joly from Laval for Jean-Francois Laplante, Nicolas Sigouin and 5th round pick. The River Kings also unveiled a new logo, and season tickets are now on sale for the team.

Come ROCK
by Marlene Baker Hi there to all of you beautiful and fun kind of peope reading Cornwall's most read paper this week. I hope you are enjoying the lovely Springtime weather we have been experiencing. There have been some rainy days and some sunny days, ~Hot~ one day... the next Not! Mother Nature sure is all over the map with her "temperal mood swings" this season. Summer is just right around the corner (on June 21st.) Get yourselves ready...by getting out your bathing suits, your flip flops or sandals and don't forget about the suntan lotion. My how the months have flown by so quickly this year. Especially this month of June. Where has the time gone???
What a marvelous kind of week I have enjoyed this week. So much so that I want to share it with you all. At the ~Port Theatre~ last Thursday evening John & I had the utmost pleasure to be a part of a most enjoyable evening. We were listening and watching a ~Tribute to the Blues Brothers~. They were Absolutely Sensational!!! The boys put on a most entertaining act that brought the audience to their feet. We were all dancing, singing and clapping along with the well known ~Blues Brothers'~ tappy tunes. The sad thing about this is that The Port wasn't packed to capacity. It wasn't even half filled. Why Is This? Why Not? Why are the people who live in Cornwall not supporting LIVE MUSIC??? I've been hearing about this over the past five years that I have lived here that there is nothing to do for adults in Cornwall. YES, THERE IS!!! At the Port Theatre!!! Then on Saturday evening John and I, and some of our close friends & acquaintances attended another LIVE PERFORMANCE at The Port. Captain Fantastic, a Tribute to Elton John that consisted of a seven piece band who were phenomenal to listen to. Yet again the audience and I were up clapping, dancing and singing along to these well known songs through the many decades of Elton John's career. But although these events are advertised in the local media, and shared on Facebook, the Port was once again, less than half filled. Compared to movie and restaurant prices, the cost to enjoy unique live entertainment here in a
www.www.zwithc.com
convenient location is a bargain. People are quick to say how a wonderful piece of historic Cornwall ought to be saved, but where are they when the opportunity arises to show REAL support, by buying tickets to such wonderful concerts? The Port brings a wide variety of entertainment styles, and also offers movies. We are actually in an enviable position as most cities our size do not have such entertainment brought in at affordable prices. So what is it? Do the citizens of Cornwall simply not enjoy music? Are we too comfortable in our airconditioned home-theaters to brave stepping outside of our comfort zone to watch a unique show? Or are we, as a city, simply too lazy to get out and have an enjoyable evening, when it's easier to just stay home. I have none of these answers, but it sure would be a help to the Port if people would show some actual support by coming out to experience a great show, and enjoy hot buttered popcorn and bottled or canned pop. I can't imagine any better way to enjoy the end of a day, or a week, than by going out to watch an exciting musical show at the Port, often by world-reknown tribute bands who demand much higher ticket prices in the bigger cities. The sad part is, that it costs them the same to perform here, and it costs the owners of the Port more money than they bring in, to keep these shows coming. Let's all do our part in keeping the Port alive, by attending events on a regular basis. It will keep at least one more piece of Cornwall's history alive for another generation to enjoy. TIP OF THE WEEK: There has been lots of controversy over whether or not sun-screen is safe. The general consensus is that it is not. So I am suggesting that we start out in the sun with short periods of exposure, until we have somewhat of a tan, which will permit us to enjoy longer time out in the sun. Sunscreen does block the burning rays, but has been known to be toxic in many cases, so I avoid it at all costs. Google it and decide for yourself, but do be sure to enjoy the summery weather as much as possible, especially after the long and harsh winter we endured. Until next week, this is Marlene Baker of fashionography.ca wishing you another positive week of kindness, gratitude, and giving to the less fortunate. You'll be very glad you did, and you'll feel better for doing so.

with Marie Morrell What you should know about Professional Organizing Part 2 of 4 What Should You Expect After Contacting A Professional Organizer? The first step will be to schedule a need assessment. This gives you an opportunity to meet the organizer, assess the problem area(s) and discuss the project. At this time, the organizer will help you determine your priorities; map a plan of action with an estimated cost. What You Need To Do To Prepare For The First Appointment You do not need to prepare, pick-up or clean the space to be organized. It is most helpful for the organizer to see your space as it currently is. It is not the time to go buy organizing products; this comes after a plan is established and items are categorized. The container must fit the content rather than the content fitting the container. During the need assessment meeting, the organizer should provide you with a "Keep or purge questionnaire", a detailed list of "What to discard" and information about "How to let go of possessions with sentimental value" and FOR a copy of the business' IMMEDIATE RELEASE code of ethics.
---- The area going rate and how far he/she has to travel
• If the organizer resides in a small town, it is not realistic to be charged as much as an organizer living in a larger metropolitan area. •
• •
If an organizer charges too much, he/she may lose business to the competition. Keep in mind, however, that if he/she charges much less, clients may perceive the quality of the services as inferior. The organizer must take into consideration the price of gas and vehicle usage. The automobile allowance rates, for the government, for 2013 and 2014, are: 54¢ per kilometer for the first 5,000 kilometers. Read more in the Seeker next week ...

Montreal Canadien’s Chris Nilan and the Agape Centre want to knock out hunger
assistance, this fundraiser would be a bust”, says Alyssa Blais who is Executive Director of the Agape Centre.
Article and Photos by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario — The Nav Centre was packed to help raise money for the Agape Centre food bank. The amateur boxing and sit down dinner event focused on knocking out the effects of hunger in our community.
The guest speaker at this event was former Montreal Canadiens enforcer Chris Nilan. Nilan told the audience, “We’re here for a reason, I wish we weren’t, and that is hunger”. He went on to explain, “when I was young I didn’t always want to go to school, but there are kids now who are thankful to go to school just so they can eat”. Chris Nilan has faced adversity in his own life, and he knows how difficult it is to over come some situations.
David Murphy, who was the emcee at this event, thinks Chris Nilan was a fitting guest speaker. “Its a unique fundraiser. It showcases a sport that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, while not taking the focus away on the reason for the event – to knock out the effects of hunger. Chris Nilan was a fitting guest speaker with his message of never giving up and he’s proof you can turn your life around for the better”, says Mr. Murphy.
This gala event is a key fundraiser for the local food bank to help the most vulnerable people in our community. “With this fundraiser, the Agapè Centre raises the needed funds that goes helping the most vulnerable in our community. It’s a nice addition to our fundraising in general especially since the need is great this time of year. We partner with Champs Eastside Boxing and are extremely grateful for this partnership. Jorge Luis manages the boxing side of things. Without his
There were countless volunteers and sponsors that made this event a huge success. “Last night’s fundraiser could not of happened without the generous support of over 18 sponsors, our main sponsor CMG Innovation, our lead Luc Marion, our volunteers: Scotiabank, Dave Murphy, Davey Bedard, Frank Burelle, Liam and Graham Greer, Dr. Jay Babcock, all the boxing clubs, the officials, and the announcers. Cogeco is also a big help”, says Ms. Blais.
For those who were unable to attend last night, there are still many ways people can help to knock out hunger. “I think one of the best ways is get informed about the issue, the complexity of this issue and become an active advocate for the most vulnerable. Support local organizations that help our most vulnerable, we are not the only one. It takes a community to rally around this issue, not just those who work in it”, says Ms. Blais. People can give directly to the Agapè Centre by visiting the Centre in person or they can donate online.

FROM MY PANTRY
NOT TO BE MISSED
SEEKERS CHOICE AWARDS CORNWALL’S OWN RED CARPET EVENT!
at the Cornwall Golf & Country Club
by Sharyn Thompson ENJOYING OUR SPRING RHUBARB With our late spring, I found my rhubarb patch slow in growing, but once the weather changed, it is doing just fine now. I will have some in my store, Sharyn's pantry, by the end of this week for you. It is grown organically, and all washed and sliced and frozen ready to use. here is a new rhubarb muffin recipe for you to try. Enjoy a great week!
STRAWBERRY RHUBARB MUFFINS WITH A PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING INGREDIENTS FOR THE MUFFINS:
1/2 cup canola oil 1 egg 1 cup of buttermilk (We sell buttermilk powder at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. Just add water to re-constitute it. You won't waste leftover fresh buttermilk this way.) 2 tsp. pure vanilla 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 2- 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp fine salt 1- 1/3 cups packed brown sugar 1 cup of fresh strawberries. 2- 1/2 tsp. baking powder hulled and sliced 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 cup fresh or frozen rhubarb, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon sliced in 1/2" pieces 1/4 tsp fine salt 1 cup of fresh strawberries. hulled and sliced 3/4 cup fresh or frozen rhubarb, sliced in 1/2" pieces
FOR THE PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING:
1/2 cup chopped pecans 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tbsp. cold butter
METHOD: -Set your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease or line your muffin cups with paper liners. Set aside. -In a large bowl, combine the canola oil, egg, buttermilk and vanilla. (If you are using my buttermilk powder from my store, just combine 1/4 cup of buttermilk powder with enough warm water to measure 1 cup total in your liquid measuring cup. Use a whisk to mix. It's as simple as that! -In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk this to combine all of the dry ingredients. -Add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir only to combine. - Rinse the strawberries before you hull them. Now, hull (This means you cut the stem and the core from each strawberry.) each strawberry and slice them. -Stir in the strawberries and sliced rhubarb into the muffin batter. Gently stir to combine. -Don't over mix or your muffins will be tough. -Use a scoop to fill the muffin cups 2/3 full. -Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon,and pecans. Cut the cold butter into this using a pastry blender or two knives. You want the crumble topping to resemble coarse crumbs in texture. Sprinkle this over top of each muffin batter in their tins. -Bake the muffins in the pre-heated 400 degree F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes. To test for doneness, just insert a toothpick into the top centre of a muffin. If it comes our clean, it's done. -Cool the muffins in the pans for 5 minutes before lifting them out. Serve warm for best flavour! ENJOY!

Chante-la ta chanson!
C’est dans les chansons que la langue de chez nous et que l’amour passe(nt) entre nos voix…
Voilà quelques-unes des chansons entonnées par Chœur en fête lors de sa tournée de concerts. En effet, les voix de la chorale Chœur en fête ont chanté le printemps dans les résidences de personnes âgées à Cornwall : le 28 mai au Centre de soins prolongés St-Joseph, le 29 mai au Manoir McConnell, le 5 juin à Sandfield’s Place et le 11 juin au Glen Stor Dun Lodge.
C’est une expérience gratifiante de pouvoir chanter dans une chorale composée de gens si accueillants et désireux d’agrémenter un passage de la vie des aîné(e)s. Suite mon arrivée à Cornwall l’hiver dernier, j’ai été invitée par une des membres, Cynthia Blais, puis par sa directrice, Michèle Chauvin-Bourdon, à me joindre à Chœur en fête. Depuis, je découvre des gens tellement sympathiques et chaleureux. À la même occasion, je redécouvre ma voix d’alto dans ma nouvelle ville d’adoption!
J’y ai aussi fait d’autres belles découvertes les deux soirs auxquels j’ai participé aux concerts.
Au Manoir McConnell, j’ai eu le bonheur de rencontrer monsieur (prénom?) Duplantie. « J’étais directeur de chorale » m’a-t-il dit avec fierté, tout en m’offrant de distribuer les exemplaires du bulletin des activités de juin du Centre Charles-Émile-Claude au sein de sa résidence.
Tandis qu’à Sandfield’s Place, une autre belle rencontre, cette-fois, avec madame Laurette Sabourin, attendant patiemment notre prestation, a comblé mon cœur. Elle m’a raconté un petit bout de sa vie de fermière tout en m’annonçant qu’elle célébrait ses 88 ans dans deux jours. J’ai choisi de chanter pour elle ce soir-là, pensant à mon ancienne et aimante belle-mère portant le même prénom…
I Feel the Spirit… Let it be… Lord I Want… Rock-A-My-Soul… Over the Rainbow… Si Dieu existe… Je veux toute la vivre ma vie! Lise R. Gauthier lirgau@gmail.com www.lamalgame.org

with The Health Nut You have to ask yourself, why are we living in the highest childhood obesity epidemic and autism, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer are at their highest rates?? What is happening to our food chain, what are the big food companies not telling us?? In our home, we make an effort to purchase fresh ingredients that our body will recognize and prepare weekly meals in the kitchen. We are the adults in the home and choose to purchase the groceries that we will enjoy during the week, this is our responsibility as parents. WE are role models and the most important part of life is to teach our future generation how to prepare great meals. We have to nourish our cells properly in order to live our best lives ever!!
Supporting Fast Food restaurants on a weekly basis is not a TREAT for our kids? You can research any item on any fast food menu online and quickly realize that most ingredients you cannot even pronounce…so why are we buying and eating it?? Most of these so called food items are full of nonfood ingredients, they are made to look and smell like food in labs, to trick you into thinking that you are eating real food. Man-made food items are full of sugar, this is why we crave them so much. There is no escaping it, this is the main ingredient that will make you go back, week after week to choose the same items over and over again. This is an addiction that is being created on purpose to make you want it…and it is working to these big food companies advantage. Will they be there when you are sick and lying in a hospital bed not sure what is happening to you??
One of the easiest ways to recognize sugar on a food label is by recognizing the -ose suffix. When you find words that end in ose, there's a good chance it is sugar. Sugars ending in -ose include: Sucrose, Maltose, Dextrose, Fructose, Glucose, Galactose, Lactose, High fructose corn syrup, Glucose solids Just because it doesn't end in -ose, however, doesn't mean it isn't sugar. There are plenty of other names as well that may or may not sound like sugar. HERE ARE SOME HEALTHY SUGAR ALTERNATIVES: STEVIA: A herb native to South America, stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia has no calories and no glycemic impact making it suitable for diabetics. COCONUT PALM SUGAR: Coconut sugar is nutritious and has a low score on the glycemic index, which means you don’t get a buzz followed by a crash. It tastes similar to brown sugar but is slightly richer. You can substitute coconut sugar for traditional sugar pretty much in any recipe. RAW HONEY: Is considered a Superfood and is used by many cultures as a remedy for many health ailments including ulcers, digestion problems, and even seasonal allergies. Studies have shown raw honey to have antibiotic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. Many people use honey topically on cuts and scrapes to help fight infection. MOLASSES/ BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES: Blackstrap molasses is perhaps the most beneficial and is a good source of iron and calcium. It’s quite thick and is best used in baking. It is also sweeter than sugar and so you’ll need less. I hope that you will think of all this great information when you are filling your grocery cart this week-end. This is something that has to be important and a top priority in our daily lives, we have to remember that cancer feeds off sugar.
At the supermarkets most of the foods in the middle aisles are made to last forever on shelves, they often have no expiry dates. They never change color, never rot, they just sit there and look the same forever…why is this?? These are questions that we have to ask ourselves, before purchasing them for our loved ones. Homemade bread and fresh milk are not made to last forever, they will expire in a couple of days…this is how nature is designed. WE have to question all of this and wonder why there is such a rise in health issues from the very young to the very old. There is definitely something that we are not being told and the time has come to ask questions and get answers.
In health… Sylvie Thibert (The Health Nut) thehealthnut@cogeco.ca www.thehealthnut.ca 613-662-3834
If you're trying to limit the amount of sugar you eat, then you need to learn the other names for sugar on food labels. Sugar comes in so many forms and goes by so many names that looking for sugar on a label can feel like finding a needle in a haystack!

Bylaw officers patrolling recreational path during summer months
Users of Cornwall’s waterfront recreational path may see something new this summer – members of the City’s By-Law Enforcement Division patrolling on bicycle.
The Department has acquired two bikes that will be used by staff to enforce a variety of municipal By-Laws and to promote safety along Cornwall’s 18.4-kilometre waterfront recreational path. “This will make it easier for us to patrol the large waterfront trail system and it will also make us more accessible to the public,” said By-Law Supervisor Chris Rogers. “Through these patrols, we want to help ensure that our waterfront parks and paths remain safe for all users.”
Dogs
Dogs are allowed in Lamoureux Park, however dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and the leash should not be any longer than 6.5 feet. Also, dogs must be kept at least 30 feet away from fixed structures such as the children's splashpad and playground area as well as fixed seating areas. Each owner is responsible for maintaining control of their dog and for picking up after their pet.
During patrols, By-Law Enforcement staff will be monitoring and enforcing regulations surrounding dogs, fishing and swimming in restricted areas, smoking near playgrounds and other related rules. “The bikes can be made available too for other Bylaw services like parking enforcement patrols in the Downtown and Le Village areas,” said Mr. Rogers. The bike patrols have already begun, and residents will recognize the By-Law Enforcement Officers by their grey uniform shirts with City of Cornwall patches on the shoulder. In the interest of safety in our parks and on our recreational path, the By-Law Enforcement Office would like to remind residents about the following regulations:
Pictured are members of the Bylaw Enforcement Team: Brook Laforest, left, and Eric Jarvo.
Path Etiquette
Users of the recreational path – be it cyclists, pedestrians, joggers, in-line skaters or others – are asked to keep the following rules in mind:
- Cyclists should yield to pedestrians at all times - Always keep to the right side of the path when traveling - Move completely off the path when coming to a stop - Check behind and in front before moving across the path or making a sudden turn - Notify others when you are passing by calling out a warning or ringing a bell - Obey all traffic signs and travel at a safe speed - E-bikes are not allowed on the northern portion of the path in Lamoureux Park (from the Civic Complex to the RCAFA Wing 424 building)
Please participate in keeping the path safe and enjoyable for everyone!

“No longer will businesses be required to provide only WHMIS and Bill 168 (Violence and Harassment in the Workplace) or, only to provide job specific training,” states Chamber President Kevin Hargreaves. “This new legislation is far more encompassing.”
There are two groups who will require the training. First is the personnel who supervise others and that includes lead hands, foremen, department heads, executives and business owners. The second group consists of all workers under the supervision of anyone in the above group.
For workers:
-
Duties and rights of workers Roles of H&S committees and H&S representatives Role of the MOL, WSIB Common workplace hazards and WHMIS requirements Occupational illness and long term effects
For supervisors: In addition to the points listed above, employers and supervisors will
learn:
- Duties of employers and supervisors - How to recognize, assess and control workplace hazards and evaluate controls - Where to locate additional sources of health and safety information
There are a number of government resources and training sources businesses can tap into: Ontario Ministry of Labour: www.labour.gov.on.ca
CHAMBER MEMBERS THAT OFFER SUCH TRAINING INCLUDE: Bayshore Occupational Health & Safety Solutions: www.bayshore.ca Kensington Park Recruitment: www.kensingtonparkrecruitment.com Fraser Workplace Safety Solutions: www.fraserworkplacesafety.com Drake International: www.drakehealthandsafetyacademy.com
Before we get into some possible steps you can take, let’s look at some of the reasons that women may fare worse than men, financially speaking, following a divorce: Lower income — In many cases, divorce exacerbates a situation in which women were already trailing men in earnings. In fact, women still only earn 70.5 cents for each dollar earned by men. Smaller retirement accounts — For example, in the U.S., the average balance on women’s defined contribution plans is only 60% of men’s average balances, according to LIMRA, a financial services research organization. Of course, “averages” are just that — averages. But whether you recognize yourself in the above numbers or not, consider these suggestions: Create an emergency fund. Try to put six months’ to a year’s worth of living expenses in a liquid account. Once you’ve established this emergency fund, you won’t have to dip into long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as an expensive car repair, a new furnace or a large medical bill.
Rebalance your investment portfolio. If you are now investing for yourself, you’ll want to take a close look at your asset mix to make sure it is appropriate for your situation. For example, your risk tolerance may be quite different than that of your ex-spouse’s. So if you now have total control over an investment portfolio, you need to make sure it reflects your needs and preferences. Consequently, you may need to “rebalance” your holdings.
He isn't just a great father, but he is an amazing grand-father who still walks my youngest niece and nephew to the bus stop and is very active in their lives. His life is his family. As long as they are happy, so is he. We never lacked attention growing up, and as a Domtar paper mill worker, on shift work, I am sure there are times he would have liked to be on his own, to be able to watch what he wanted, to have some peace and quiet, but with 3 girls and the love of his life His wife Lil, that wasn't likely. I am not sure he would want it any other way. So Fathers' Day was last Sunday, and it was nice to see Facebook light up with messages of thanks and photos or changed profiles of my friends and their daddies and heart warming messages for those dads who are no longer with us. So belated Happy Fathers' Day to all the dads out there. So maybe you don't hear it enough, but the time, love and energy you give, is appreciated.

Above all, get some help. As mentioned above, now is a good time to meet with a financial advisor. And if you don’t have much experience in managing your finances, you may even find it helpful to work with a trust company, which can collaborate with your financial provider to manage your assets and also provide a variety of other functions, including bill payment and record keeping. A trust company’s services can prove especially valuable to you and your family should you ever become incapacitated. Unfortunately, a divorce may leave you feeling “at sea” in many areas of your life. But by following the above suggestions, you can at least help keep your financial ship in calmer waters.

Contribute as much as you can afford to your retirement accounts. Even if you will eventually receive some of your ex-spouse’s retirement funds, you need to take full advantage of your own savings opportunities — because it’s pretty hard to save “too much” for retirement. If money is tight, it won’t always be easy, but contribute as much as you can to your RRSP or similar employer-sponsored retirement plan. At a minimum, put in enough to earn the employer’s match, if one is offered.
To rectify this, I am dedicating this week's column to all of the dads, step-dads and father-figures. You truly make a difference every day. I am very lucky that I have a dad who always put his family first. This set a very high bar for me. Ernie Ward is the kind of man who always thinks of his family, and the impact on their lives.

FINANCIALLY SPEAKING with Brian Seguin
Within a marriage, a man and a woman’s financial circumstances are generally pretty much equal. But if a divorce occurs, the woman’s situation tends to be some-what more challenging than that of her ex-spouse. And that’s why, during this major life transition, you may want to meet with a professional financial advisor to go over your spending needs and your cash flow, so that you know what you absolutely need today — and how you can plan for tomorrow.
It's hard to believe that we are in fullswing school summer break again. Where did the time go? It has been such a busy couple of months with frequent commuting that I almost missed a very important day; Fathers' Day. Although I missed my deadline to include it last week, I did not miss the day.

Killing Yr Joy Tour brings Joy to Cornwall Audience Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario — Here is a Seeker Snapshot of Animalia playing the Killing Yr Joy Tour at The Art Gallery of Cornwall.
CALL TO ARTISTS How would you represent summer in the city? What is your take on those hot days when the bright sun, colours and holiday activity spice up our days? All artists in painting, pottery, sculpting, drawing, photography and mixed media what would you do? SUMMER IN THE CITY / L’ÉTÉ EN VILLE is the theme of the art exhibition of the Focus Art Association at the TAG (Cornwall Art Gallery, 168 Pitt Street) The exhibition runs from July 10 to July 27.
Members are invited to drop off as many as 2 pieces of work ($10.00 each entry) on July 3 and 4 between 10 am and 5 pm.
About thirty people gathered in a dimly lit room for a unique concert experience Wednesday night. The only luminescence during the concert was from a single back light on the floor and the light beaming from a projector on a screen playing a series of bizarre artsy images.
There were many talented musicians playing a variety of musical genres and styles during this low-fi production at Cornwall’s downtown art hub; from electronic, to rap, to indie rock. However in this journalist’s humble opinion Amimalia stole the show.
Amimalia has a powerful voice and sings with purpose and determination. Her body movements on stage are fluidic and energetic and are well synchronized with the tone of her voice.
