Taking March Break Seriously

Move along people! Nothing to see here this week. I decided to take March Break seriously, for once, and skip work for almost a week. Therefore, nothing of interest--well public interest anyway-- entered my mind over the last few days, which left me in a predicament for this space.

Could I actually not have an editorial? Will people notice?

Yes, I could have pulled my laptop on the 3 hour drive to, or back from, Syracuse where we spent a few days. But I didn't: I was immersed in my family.

Instead, I took the time to sing silly songs, play 100 questions, lose a round of "I Spy with my little eye" and talk to my kids about their dreams and aspirations. I studied every detail of each of my kids faces and enjoyed their wittiness and brilliance. I learned a lot!

Most of all, I was reminded that that you can't put a price on memories like these.

Am I rested? Of course not! I spent three days being my 4 kids personal clown! I'm exhausted! But I'm happy. And I'm satisfied.

I am truly blessed by the gift all of my kids are. They are wonderful human beings, fine, outstanding young souls and I can't wait to see all that they will become. They are kind, polite, gentle, meek... I delight in who they are, which my husband have a lot to do with. I am blessed by him too.

Remember...

"Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you."

Friday, March 27 - 7:45am

When I'm old and gray, I won't remember that I didn't work for those few days. I will remember that my kids all $16 members - $18 non-members pretended to be one another to try and fool me, laughing and giggling each time I would call them their brother's or Become a business Seeker before sister's name. I won't be reminiscing on the editorial I didn't write, I will be pondering on the fun they had, the end of February for swimming in the pool at the hotel, and how we steadily had e C ome o to be the "mom and dad horseys" carrying the babies into n D o n't b the deep waters on our backs. I won't remember that I had o v e r ... sh y! to come home on a Thursday morning and rush this paper (10 month membership yearly $95) to press, or how expensive this little escapade was. I will cherish the visit www.theseeker.ca for details memories of making too many waffles at the breakfast buffet for kids who think they can eat much more than they actually can. I will go back to the carousel or the hanging rope maze at the BIG Destiny USA mall and look back at the time spent basking in one another's company. Quality time.

Letters to the Editor It was suggested at the Budget Committee session that TAG was not a stable organization or that there were questions about its future?.

TAG Cornwall has been around over thirty years, over twenty in the same location.

While it has endured criticism, as all organizations have at one point or another; it has functioned and nurtured some of the finest talent that has ever been exhibited in Cornwall.

It has also been the place where many young people have been exposed to the arts via school and Summer programs.

TAG Cornwall is not about making money. It's about promoting art, especially local art and frequently local artists have been given an opportunity that they would not have in a traditional commercial gallery.

This incredibly important service is vital to any community if it truly values the Arts & Culture.

Sadly, five of our eleven elected officials essentially recommended cutting off further funding for TAG for the balance of this year. The questions asked at our presentation were not related to the presentation. The statements made were hurtful given the sacrifices that this new board was happy to make to ensure the future success of the Art Community in Cornwall and the area.

We hope that council as a whole would consider the full and true impact of TAG and its place in Corwalll and support the Arts as many of them stated they would during the election.

As President of TAG Cornwall I would like to invite all of the community to let council know that the arts are important to them and that TAG Cornwall is the centre of Art in our great city.

I hope to see many of you at the March 23rd Council meeting.

Wyatt J Walsh, President TAG Cornwall Dear Editor: The Federal Government?s new Anti-terrorism Bill C-51 is sweeping, dangerously vague, and likely to face legal and constitutional challenges on many fronts. Terrorism is a real threat and requires effective measures to keep Canadians safe but we should not have to choose between our security and our rights and freedoms.

We need a responsible, principled, balanced approach.

As Canadians rally across the country in opposition to the anti-terror bill, I hope that the Harper Government will be

open to NDP amendments to Bill C-51 that will make the bill better. Bill C-51 with its broad, vague definitions threatens the civil rights and freedoms of all Canadians, including freedom of speech, right to privacy, especially online, and security. Anyone who criticizes the Government?s social, economic, and environmental policies could be targeted by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), for example, social activists, First Nations, environmentalists, critics of the government?s foreign policy, labour activists, political foes etc.

The anti-terror bill gives sweeping new powers to CSIS without equally enhancing oversight.

Nor is there any plan in the bill to work with communities on concrete, effective measures to counter radicalization of youth.

I am disappointed that Justin Trudeau and Liberal Party have chosen to side with the Harper Conservatives to support the passage of this deeply flawed bill that threatens our rights and freedoms and erodes our Canadian way of life.

Bill C-51 must be amended to strengthen oversight, protect Canadians? civil liberties, and counter the radicalization of youth in Canada.

Canadians deserve better.

Yours truly, Brian Lynch, President, SDSG Federal NDP riding association

Lunenburg Man Pleads Guilty to Two Counts of Animal Cruelty Under the Ontario SPCA Act On May 15, 2014, the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Branch received a call from the Eastern Ontario Health Unit requesting assistance with a possible rabies exposure. Arrangements were made to have a sample taken from a deceased dog in the care of Mr. Tessier. On May 16, 2014, Mr. Tessier brought the body of a deceased 12-year-old Yorkie-type dog named ?Jazzie? to the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Branch. Mr. Tessier explained he was looking after Jazzie for his father who was in the hospital. On May 10, 2014, his son?s unvaccinated Chow-type dog bit Jazzie in the head, causing head trauma. He stated the dog was not brought to a veterinarian for medical attention. On May 14, 2014, the Yorkie began drooling and frothing at the mouth and passed away a few hours later. Following an examination and X-ray of the deceased dog, many medical issues were revealed including misalignment of the lower jaw, a fracture of the mandible, multiple fractures of the skull and severe crushing wounds to the skull. The dog did not have rabies. ?If pet owners are unable or unwilling to care for an animal there are better options than letting the animal suffer,? says Steve Toy, Senior Inspector. ?Contact your local Ontario SPCA to discuss available services.? Mr. Tessier was sentenced and ordered to pay a fine of $500 per charge ($1,000 total).To report cruelty please call 310-SPCA or email your concern to cruelty@ospca.on.ca.

I N D EPEN D EN T R ESEARCH ER S: M O ST N EED ED !

by Countess Trottier/Trotzier

In a well-run Free Enterprise System, the bottom line of businesses - large and small - should show a profit.

T here are, of course, many factors contributing to showing a successfully well-run enterprise.

Given a fair chance at succeeding, small business entrepreneurs can actually make a country: wholesome; the residents: healthy and capable of making money for essential necessities that provide a healthy, pleasant lifestyle.

W ith these basic points, let's examine the conditions of the City of Cornwall. T his winter piles of snow along downtown Pitt Street and adjacent business streets prevented potential customers from coming downtown to do business. T he parking meters were obvious.

H owever, there weren't any clean parking spaces. I witnessed a few determined customers who nearly toppled over the snow banks trying to get back to their parked cars. T his horrendous situation lasted ALL WIN T ER LON G, thus SER IOU SLY AFFECT IN G T H E EN T R EPR EN EU R S' PROFIT S! I N D EPEN D EN T R ESEARCH ER S/EN T R EPR EN EU R S: M O ST N EED ED !

Since municipal representatives and staff/employees acted freely to ignore this "heart-breaking" situation causing lost of important sales and profits, then Independent Researchers/Entrepreneurs are definitely free to solve the snow bank problems in the Cornwall downtown areas and which conditions have severely harmed the business owners' bottom line.

D ESI GN I N G SN OW - CLEAR I N G T RUCKS Everyone is encouraged to participate and is free to design, and produce, special snow-clearing trucks which are capable of sucking in the snow inside a tank that is designed to instantly heat, melt and turn the tons of snow into water. From this water, an elaborate yet functional "electrolysis" machine takes in the snow water and converts it instantly into oxygen and hydrogen.

T he hydrogen can then be used to fuel the trucks. In addition, the extra hydrogen can be stored instantly in a number of containers that can be deposited at some hydrogen drop-off points.

(Another alternative: the instantly heated watered-down snow can be directly dropped off at different locales - and some even used to form large skating rinks for WE T H E PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.) Back to hydrogen...I have met Dr. Roger Billings who succeeded to run very successfully a few cars that ran on hydrogen. As well, I have enjoyed driving in a hydrogen-powered truck and a car while attending a conference on alternative energy held in Arizona. And N O ! We never lifted off like helium balloons! N or did we explode!

In South Florida, John I. Perry, with his team of Independent Researchers, using their PEM (proton exchange membrane) hydrogen fuel cells, have made many successfull advancements in the usage of hydrogen technology...and including the production of an ocean-surveying submarine using hydrogen. All researchers are alive and well!

Yes, Independent Researchers can help alleviate the snow-piling problems and the sordid bottom lines of the many struggling small business entrepreneurs in the downtown areas of Cornwall....and other cities in Canada and all of N orth America. YOU CAN DO IT ! p.s.: With the HAARP project and other similar weather manipulations causing increasing amounts of heavy snow storms, W E T H E PEOPLE M UST NOT ALLOW OURSELVES T O GET "SNOW ED UN D ER!"

TIPS FRO M THE TAX M AM

Jo se e

SAUVE Trying to lower your tax burden can be very taxing! I have compiled the following list of what makes up the most ?missed? deductions because individuals don?t tell their tax preparers or do not realize that these can sometimes be tax write-offs: - Did you make any payments to a union or professional organization?

- Did you make any payments for childcare or daycamp and you have receipts?

- Did you move and change employment or self-employment?

- Did you pay for a safe deposit box?

- Did you pay interest on a loan taken out for investment purposes?

- Did you pay for investment accounting?

- Did you use your vehicle to travel for your work (to and from work does not count)?

- Did you have an office at home that you use for your work?

- Did you pay legal fees to enforce payment of alimony or maintenance?

- Did you pay legal fees to enforce payment of wages?

- Did you receive an allowance from your employer for auto expenses?

- Are you single and did you support a dependent?

- Are you or your spouse/partner disabled?

- Are any of your dependents disabled?

- Does a relative or your spouse?s relative who is 65 or older reside with you?

- Did you pay interest on your student loan?

- Did you or your spouse/partner or dependents pay tuition fees?

- Did you have any medical expenses?

- Did you make payments to a health plan at work or privately?

- Did you make any donations to a registered charity?

- Did you make any donations to a registered political party?

- Did you make any contributions to a labor sponsored funds?

- Did you have any self-employed income? Did you hire an assistant?

- Did you pay for supplies used in your work?

- Were you paid in part by commissions?

- Did you take public transportation (train, bus, trolley, etc.) to get to work or school?

- Did you enroll your children (under the age of 16) in sports?

If you answered YES to any of these, talk to your tax preparer about it! Depending on certain requirements, you might just save a few dollars!

Hi to all of you pretty and handsome readers that are taking the time to read ~The Seeker~ this week. It's Cornwall's most Positive and Informative REAL NEWSPAPER!!! The last days of Winter are behind us and SPRING is finally here to STAY!!! The leftover snow is slowly melting away... leaving our streets, walkways and roads ice and snow free.

We are finally able to see bits and pieces of greenery on our lawns. YAAAY!!! We soon will be seeing the pretty, little crocuses and tulips pushing their sweet faces up through the ground to display their colourful Spring outfits. I look forward to walking around Cornwall to see the "New Awakenings of Spring Time." Happy First (Official) Day of Spring, Today, Everyone!!!

I have to share with you all that I went to my very first ~Cornwall Colts~ hockey game, last Thursday evening with my dear friend, Wendy Sedgewick. One of the players just happens to be Grant Cooper, (the son of some other good friends of mine, Lise and Greg Cooper.) What A Game!!! Although they didn't win against the Hawksbury team, I had a wonderful time with my friends and the rest of the fans. Thanks to Wendy's mom who bought us tickets for Saturday's game. The ~Cornwall Colts~ beat the pants off of the ~Trois Rivieres~ team!!! This game was so Exciting and Exhilarating that it kept me and the rest of the fans at the edge of our seats!!! The score at the end of this game was 4 To 1!!! GO COLTS GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE FINALS, BOYS!!!

TIP OF THE WEEK: Spring Time brings about New Beginnings and Fresh Starts... So, Why not treat

yourselves to a New Wardrobe this season???

1. The first thing you must do is go through your wardrobes. (Anything that you haven't worn in 6 months or more please donate these items, or give them away to family and or your friends.) 2. Check through the many fashion magazines, the many different catalogues or even online to see what is in style for the Spring of 2015. 3. Take photos of these different styles to see what you can do that is similiar to these styles and looks. 4.

Please check out the many thrift stores that are here in Cornwall, like the Salvation Army, Value Village & the Agape Centre. They are stocked up for all of your Spring clothing and footwear needs and wants. If you can't find the items you like at these stores, then check out the beautiful Spring Fashions at our Canadian owned ~Giant Tiger~. 5.

By donating your unwanted items, you not only feel good doing so, but you make others feel good as well. That's what is it all about!!! Right??? By making yourselves and others feel good makes your life much more positive and way more happier. Happy Shopping Ladies & Gents.

John and I had a FUNtastic time last Sunday afternoon doing a "photo shoot" with two New Models, Amy Karelse & Kristine Picken. We had a BLAST working together for nearly four (4) hours taking hundreds of photos of their four (4) different characters. These photos will be used for our ~Photo Dreams~ portfolio. John and I are being blown away by the final outcome and so will you!!! Wait until you see these MAGNIFICENT works of art!!! Please Go & Check Out www.photodreams.ca to see what we have been working on and to find out more of what ~Photo Dreams~ is all about.

M O RRELL Establishing a Filing System

Manual/ Electronic Part 1 of 5 Whether you are the only one accessing files or you share them with a staff, the filing system you choose must be organized so everyone can find what they're looking for in a few seconds. If the filing system is difficult to use, you will hang onto papers for fear of losing them and you'll soon have piles of papers covering your desk or all over your house.

Definition - Manual Filing System A manual filing system is filing documents using file folders and a filing cabinets/ banker box. The documents are normally store alphabetically by main categories using hanging folders then filed in a manila folder.

For those working in an environment using medical files, legislative documents, court cases, etc., a numerical system is a the perfect retrieval method . Files can also be filed using an agenda types of system (by month and day).

Definition - Electronic Filing System An electronic filing system is storing documents within folders on your computer's hard drive. In the computer world the documents are stored in a digital filing system, as opposed to the physical filing system in the manual way.

Advantages Of A Manual Filing System Manual systems: - are easier to understand as you do not need computer knowledge.

- cannot be destroyed by an accidental power loss. Also, hackers cannot access a manual filing system from another computer. This helps with security issues.

- Depending on their setup, are an easier, more personal way to keep files and records in order. Filing cabinets can be locked with a key.

Oh the tricks we play!

Graduates are from left: The ?Sw inging B?s?

Ever yone w as from left: Teresa MacInnis, Co-President; Barb Mazerolle, Graduate; still laughing as they ate Gr aduation cake.

Linda Lauzon, Co-President.

If You Have A Business Consider The Liability Risk If you're a self-employed small business owner, you will most likely be the only one accessing your filing system (confidential, secret or eyes only). If you have employees, you have to determine how much access you want to grant each employee - for which files - to reduce your liability risk.

In some business everything is scanned and then immediately shredded, including the forms you fill out when you arrive for the first time. If you decide to go this route (paperless/ totally digital), you'd better have an absolutely awesome - and highly trustworthy - IT professional who sets it all up for you with bullet-proof security and a full-proof backup system! If not, you shouldn't even think about it.

If you have any other questions that you would like answered, please call Marie Morrell at 613-936-6873 or email: office@workeasysolution.com

Sha ry n

THO M PSO N Over the years, I have tried many different recipes. This scone recipe is so very very good! It is definitely one of my top ten favourite recipes!

You can bake them plain or vary the add-in ingredients. For example, the last time I baked a batch, I added some dried cranberries and grated orange zest. You can add chopped dried apricots and toasted almonds or some lexia raisins. You can vary the yogurt by using orange yogurt or vanilla yogurt to change the flavour. Any of the above suggestions seem to turn out just fine.

If you enjoy a nice warm scone right out of the oven, you will fall in love with this recipe. It is just that good!

This recipe is for a dear friend, Jean H. who tried a couple of my scones and loved them. Now Jean you can bake up a batch yourself! Have a great week!

T HE BEST SCONES EV ER!

ONE OF OUR FA V OURI TE RECI PES METHOD: -Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. OR use convection bake at 410 degrees F. -Line your baking sheet with parchment paper if you wish your scones to have a lightly baked bottom, or leave your baking sheet ungreased and not lined with parchment paper for a bit darker bottom to your scones.

-Sift or whisk the flour, white sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and Kosher salt in a fairly large bowl.

-Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the butter is the size of peas.

-Gently mix in the yogurt. I use a plastic bowl scraper to mix in the yogurt. This way I am not over mixing the biscuit dough.

-At this point, add in the fruit and/ or nuts or zest you wish to put in your scones.

-Lightly dust your work surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it.

INGREDIENTS: 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

-Gently knead the dough to mix thoroughly. I use my plastic bowl scraper to do this, and avoid touching the dough with my warm hands. This will keep the dough cold.

1/ 3 cup white sugar 1 rounded tbsp. baking powder

-Pat out the dough into 2 circles. Cut the scones into triangles, just like the spokes of a wheel. Place the scones on your prepared baking sheet.

1/ 2 level tsp. baking soda 1/ 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/ 4 tsp. Kosher salt

-I brush the tops of the scones with a little half and half cream or you can use an egg wash of a beaten egg with a tbsp of water.

-Now sprinkle the tops of the scones with some sanding sugar. I learned about this sugar from Martha Stewart on TV. The sugar is a coarser sugar than regular fine white sugar but not as coarse and crunchy as the coarse sugar you fin on top of turnovers. We carry this sugar at my store Sharyn's Pantry. I also use it to sprinkle over top of any fruit pies I bake. It gives a nice sheen without the crunch.

1/ 2 cup very cold butter 1- 1/ 2 cups organic yogurt (we carry this at Sharyn's Pantry) half and half cream for brushing over top of the scones and some sanding sugar (we sell this at Sharyn's Pantry) VARIATIONS TO ADD IN: (we carry all of the fruit at Sharyn's Pantry)

-Bake the scones on the second rack from the bottom of your oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Don't let them over brown. Serve warm

Choose: 1 cup dried cranberries with 2 or 3 tbsp. grated orange zest

from the oven. ENJOY!!!

OR 1 cup lexia raisins

DESNO YERS REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY: Members of Focus Art were very enthusiastic about their participation at the Woman?s Day Show held at the Civic Complex on March 8,2015.The fair, which is well described elsewhere by the media, was a huge success.For the artists it was an occasion to sell original art products that have ladies?needs in mind.

For the Association it was an opportunity to let the public know about the many activities offered by the group.

Many visitors to the kiosque claimed to have little talent for art but after talking with them for a while we sometimes discovered that they did want to do some painting or photography and just needed a little encouragement. ÂŤIt?s not necessary to be a Monet or a Van Gogh? just enjoy the process, lose yourself in time with paper, color and line? . Âť This was repeated over and over by the hosts at the table. ?As in everything, understanding the process helps you appreciate it?.

Visitors to the table also inquired about programs for youth art, senior art lessons, and art lessons in French. The talk about a Centre for the arts is also a more frequent topic. Often Focus Art members were asked where one would go to see the art of members. More and more, there are answers to these requests but there are still areas not covered in the community.

All of these very important queries were noted and will help direct future actions by our organisation. So the day was a give and take for all. We send our congratulations to Mai---Liis Renaud and Julia Lucio (the Seeker Gals) for their successful initiative.

Bravo to all participants. Our special thanks to our volunteers. Thank you to all who spent time with us on Woman?s Day. Merci.

Cornwall Seaway Lions Club donates $30,000 to CCH Foundation A strong show of support for the new chemotherapy program at Cornwall Community Hospital was evident at the last Cornwall Seaway Lions Club meeting. Together their members approved a $30,000 donation to CCH Foundation to fund equipment for this new service which is anticipated to come to the hospital by the end of this year.

CCH Foundation Board Treasurer, Dale McSween, along with Executive Director, Erin Killoran, accepted the cheque from Cornwall Seaway Lions Club President, Marcel Ravary, and Ribfest Chairman, Phil Shorey. These funds were proceeds of Ribfest, and Lions Club members were proud to give these funds to such a worthwhile cause in our community. This brings the Cornwall Seaway Lions Club to a total of over $47,000 donated to CCH since 2010.

KEY POINTS OF CHEMOTHERAPY PROGRAM: The program initially became public knowledge when Jeanette Despatie made a presentation about the hospital at a city council meeting last fall.

In 2015, Cornwall Community Hospital will implement a new chemotherapy program. This is not a service currently offered here in Cornwall, but unfortunately is desperately needed to help individuals in our community who are fighting cancer.

This program is expected to treat 275 patients per year.

Currently, hundreds of cancer patients in our area are relying on family or friends to transport them to Ottawa, and Winchester, and sometimes Kingston or Montreal for their cancer treatment and appointments.

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, in

2012 more than 400 people in Cornwall and SD&G needed transportation services to get to their cancer related appointments.

While some patients rely on these volunteer transportation programs, others have family or friends who are able to transport them to treatment. This however, involves taking time off work, not to mention the obvious costs of gas, parking and even hotel stays during the winter months.

The average transportation cost (not including parking, meals and lost wages) to one round trip appointment is $66.On average cancer treatment requires a minimum of 14 trips resulting in a minimum of 42 hours of travelling time.Just the transportation costs alone for an average cancer treatment can be a minimum of $942.

The basis for the chemotherapy program at our hospital is the specialized Sterile Preparation Room. With dedicated air systems and specific design requirements, the cost of the room itself is$100,000. This room is the link between the pharmacy and the patient treatment room. The total equipment cost is$300,000. Therefore the total project cost is $400,000.

Although the Ontario government funds hospital operations and building capital, there has not been an increase in CCH?s base funding budget to accommodate this project. In the face of restrained government funding, there is an expectation for local communities to contribute towards the purchase of equipment and services. Where the government leaves off, CCH Foundation reaches out for donor investment.

CHEMOTHERAPY FUNDRAISING:

Chemotherapy fundraising kick-off with the Lions Club cheque for $30,000.Fundraising for chemotherapy will continue with the annual Radiothon on Thursday, April 2 from 6am-7pmThis year?s Radiothon will be held in the main entrance of CCHDonors can call the donation hotline or bring their donations to the donation desk at the main entranceNEW! Drive thru donations will also be offered this year.

Donors will be able to donate right from their car at the Janet Macdonell Pavillion entrance.

G RANT Cornwall's Galaxy Cinemas along with Once Upon a Dream Boutique gave little princesses the chance to meet Cinderella last week at the local theatre. Many young girls were in attendance as Cinderella stood in the lobby to speak with her fans and pose for photos.

Cinderella movie is still playing and it's a wonderful movie! My daughter and I went to see it and we both enjoyed it very much.

Once Upon a Dream Boutique started out in 2011 as a mobile princess party company called "Bibbidi Bobbidi Birthdays" and re-branded in 2014 to become "Once Upon a Dream Boutique" featuring a mystical boutique and party palace where children and family can come to enjoy the same high quality entertainment in our magical environment. You can visit them at 812 Pitt Street (Unit 7) or visit their website at http:/ / www.ouadboutique.com/ The Downtown continues to look better after some local merchants had their new signs put up last week. Val and Paulie's Diner (known as Pat's Home Cookin') and Fantasy Realm were two of the local businesses that had new signs put up. Check them out at 227 and 229 Pitt Street.

Cornwall ? Ontario Power Generation wishes to advise hunters, anglers and recreational boaters on the St. Lawrence River that ice booms will be removed from narrow stretches of the river, starting on Mar. 23, 2015.

These booms, which were placed in the river off Galop Island, in the North Channel, near Johnstown and at Prescott, are chain-and-wood devices used to prevent the build-up of ice during the winter. They ensured an even freeze on the river, helping to improve power generation during the winter months.

All users of the river should take extra care in the narrow reaches where the work is being undertaken to remove the booms.

Ice booms are placed in the same narrow reaches of the St. Lawrence River each November and removed in the spring when the ice has melted, before the St. Lawrence Seaway shipping season commences.

Ontario Power Generation would like to remind boaters to take every precaution around its dams and generating stations, and to practice safety on Ontario?s waterways.
