As you know, the Seekers Choice Awards are coming up really fast.

In the past years, we have asked people to nominate who they thought should win, and then followed this nomination period with a voting period, where all nominees were listed and could be selected. Anybody could nominate and be nominated in the various categories. This was very popular and last year, more than 1000 nominations came in.

However, this system was flawed in the fact that it didn't help us select who was really deserving of the award or letting us know more about the business or person nominated. In essence, it was a popularity contest.

This year, we made things a little different. In order to nominate, readers needed to write a paragraph stating why they thought the nominee should get an award.

This little extra step has seemingly turned off a lot of people and only 77 nominations came in to date.

Furthermore, as opposed to having provided a name in all 10 categories, more often than not, only one category was filled. That leaves us with a very narrow list.

Have we become really that lazy?

I always say it: technology is great. It has simplified our e C ome o n D o n't b lives immensely. The world is a better place for it. But has o v e r ... sh y! it created a generation of people who need things to be oversimplified in order to accomplish anything? Has it dumbed us (10 month membership yearly $95) down? Are we incapable of formulating a thought? Sure, we can visit www.theseeker.ca for details absorb a wealth of information, but when it's time to share that info, are we not able to do so if it implies doing more than just clicking a "like" or a "share" button? Are we really that passive and attention deficient ?

There are so many great people in this community. They are hardworking people who do everything they can to go the extra mile to help out others, or provide an excellent service, or entertain a crowd. They deserve more than the second it takes to click like or share. They deserve your nominations and unless you take 5 minutes to explain why you think they should be considered, they won't make it.

Go to our website now. Don't put it off till tomorrow. I am certain you know at least one person who really should be considered, be it a volunteer, an artist or a business owner. Be a Seeker: bring out the gems of our community to light.

Letters to the Editor It was with great dismay reading your editorial regarding TAG Cornwall.

Cornwall Lions celebrate 75 years of service

TAG has been in the community for 30 years now. It is stable and certain disclosures were not made by its author who you do not identify.

As a gallery we have faced many challenges historically, and will do so in the future like any charity that is run by a volunteer board. Change is the norm; not the rarity.

Why was the relationship between The Seeker partners and Focus Art not disclosed? We have seen some disturbing comments from some Focus Art members against the gallery.

Your editorial throws blind accusations without any real proof of any wrong doing. Why is that?

You point out that a lot of "hearsay" is floating around, but isn't that exactly what your editorial is doing?

We have seen both the Art Council and our only public gallery facing funding issues with the city.

Surely a newspaper that claims to focus on positive news begs the question of why such TMZ like negative gossip about one of the foundations of Art for Cornwall?

Finally it seems that you suggest to terminate TAG in your last paragraph. We live in a community where instead of saving our institutions and land marks we bulldoze or burn them.

TAG is not going anywhere. We have been home to the Arts in Cornwall now for 30 years. It's time for the Arts community to pull together more than ever.

It's time for petty politics to be put aside and focus on art.

Last Saturday night, the Cornwall Lions Club held a terrific banquet at the Best Western Parkway Inn in celebration of their 75th year in service. Guests from all 41 South Clubs, many dressed up in 1940?s attire to commemorate the early beginnings of the club, enjoyed a wonderful meal and were entertained by a Frank Sinatra impersonator, Michael Mirand.

The Governor, the 1st VDG and PDGs, Region and Zone Chairs were also in attendance. Letters from the Governor General of Canada, The Prime Minister of Canada, The Premier of Ontario, our Member of Parliament and Member of Provincial Parliament were read to the public.

The event also honoured a couple of outstanding Lions, giving the Melvin Jones Fellowship award to Lion Ted Langstaff and the Helen Keller Award to Lion Paul Lefebvre.

The Seeker would like to congratulate the Cornwall Lions for their outstanding achievement.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management students triumph at 2015 SCMA Case Competition Students from the inaugural year of the Logistics and Supply Chain Management program at St. Lawrence College?s Cornwall Campus demonstrated the strength of this new one-year post-diploma program by placing second at HEC Montreal and seventh overall in Canada at The Supply Chain Management Association?s (SCMA) 2015 Student Case Competition.

The February 28, 2015 competition gave students an opportunity to showcase their talents to some of the industry?s top firms.

Participants included Emma Budziarek, Sultan Kittaneh and Jim Sigg who were coached and mentored by Program Coordinator Carla Kingston.During the competition, teams studied a business case and presented their solutions to a panel of judges.

Participants focused on resolving real-world strategic and tactical challenges through the examination of topics such as logistics, network design, procurement, relationship management and sustainability. Working in teams, the students explored a scenario pertaining to a supply chain problem. The teams then developed recommendations based on their research, data analysis and study of financial implications.

TIPS FRO M THE TAX M AM

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Jo se e

SAUVE The DISABILITY TAX CREDIT (DTC) is a non-refundable credit offered to disabled individuals or dependents that are disabled. In order to claim this credit, you must pay taxes. If your payable tax is zero, it will not produce a refund for you. Anyone can apply for the DTC and the list of accepted conditions which include Sleep Apnea, ADHD, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, MS, MD, and an endless list. When approved, if the physician who completes the application provides the date of diagnosis in the past, an individual could be looking at up to 10 years of tax dollar credits adding up to approximately $17,000. There are many companies out there who prey on the disabled by making it appear that you need a DTC ?Promoter? in order to get this credit. After years of these promoters taking up to 30% of individual?s credits, the CRA is finally putting a curb on these promoters by implementing the DTC Promoters Restrictions Act which will limit the maximum fee a promoter can charge for their services. Promoters will also claim that they can earn you up to $35,000 but that also involves investing the original $17,000.

It doesn?t take a special promoter to apply for this credit ? all you have to do is complete your portion of the form and have the physician who is most familiar with your condition complete his portion. The process takes roughly 3 months.

For a complete list of conditions that apply and for more information about the DTC, visit www.sauvetaxservices.ca

Hi There, Ho There to all of you wonderful and special people reading ~The Seeker~ this week. It's Cornwall and the S. D. & G. area's most positive and informative "REAL" paper which is read by 100's of people just like you. How was your March Break??? What did you do for the "Break" from the very, long and snow filled Winter season that we experienced this year? I do hope that you and your loved ones were able to manage to do something significant during the much anticipated March Break. Even, if you got to share some "Quality Time" together or by just doing something different to get away from your every day routines. WELCOME TO SPRING!!! It is here...really it is (as of March 21st) but Maw Nature is taking her sweet time this year it seems.

"They"(who ever "they" are..) do say, "If March comes in with a lion, that it will go out like a lamb."

Here's to looking forward to sunnier and much warmer days in the near future.

Don't forget to Check Out ~The Seeker~'s very own weather guy, ~Johnny Radar~ for the 5 day forecast each and every week.

I had the most wonderful opportunity to visit with my eldest daughter, Melinda and her four beautiful and healthy children, Lincoln, Abigail, Sampson & wee William. It was a sunny week, but Boy, Oh Boy, those winds were wickedly cold and brisk to do much of anything outside. We did manage to have ourselves a whole lot of FUN, despite the frigid Spring temperatures that Mother Nature throw at us last week!!! My youngest son, Marcus was also visiting with Melinda and decided to take the two oldest grandkiddies (Lincoln & Abigail) outside to do some "body surfing"

family that ranged from nearly three, to nearly fifty five, we managed to enjoy all kinds of movies, documentaries and even some comedy shows together. On our last afternoon together, Marcus decided to make some Peanut butter cookies, during our time together. We all had pitched in, in some small way to help make this scrumptious activity happen. The cookies were golden brown and so large when they came out of the oven (they had spread out whilst baking) that we called them "Sharer Cookies." Because of being so BIG for one person to eat by themselves, one had to share half of it with someone else. We also decided (well, I did as I brought them with me) to play some "inside badminton" in the livingroom area. ( I know, I know that I'm a bad influence.. NOT! We wanted to have FUN... I am the Grandmother after

all!!!) The object of this game was to see how many times the two people who were playing could keep it in the air. Abigail & Marcus were the "Grand Winners," as they kept it going for 11 times in a row!!! All in all I had a most delightful and fun time with my family during March Break this year.

Tip of the Week: Here are (12) twelve steps to Self Care. 1. If it feels WRONG, Don't do it. 2. Say EXACTLY what you mean. 3. Don't be a "People Pleaser." 4. TRUST your Instincts. 5. NEVER speak Bad about yourself. 6. NEVER give up on your Dreams. 7. Don't be afraid to say, "NO!" 8. Don't be afraid to say, "YES!" 9. Be KIND to Yourself. 10. Let Go of what you can't Control. 11. Stay Away from Drama and Negativity. 12. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

SPRING Is Here and Here to stay for yet another fabulous year. It is TIME to get your "Fashions Sense" On, Ladies & Gents!!! It's TIME to check out the New Looks & Fashions for Spring 2015!!! You can check out the many different Canadian stores (like ~Giant Tiger~) with their Spring Fashions on display, take a look at the Spring/ Summer catalogs, or take a look at the many Spring Fashion Shows, or even check online to see what's ~HOT~ & New this season for ideas for yourselves to choose from. You can Mix & Match your "New items" with your "Old ones" to "Freshen Up" your wardrobes, if you have a certain budget to stick to. The many thrift stores like ~Value Village~, or the ~Salvation Army~ and even the ~Agape Centre~'s, ~New For You~ shop are all stocked up with New Spring clothes and footwear to suit all of your budgets and all of your Spring/ Summer wants and needs. You do know that by shopping at these stores not only are you saving money you are helping these non-profit organizations help those in our community who are much less fortunate then ourselves. Thank you in advance for helping people, any of whom may be your next door neighbour. I may just see you at the ~New For You~ shop or at ~Value Village~, shopping for my New Spring Wardrobe.

Until Next Week: Please Pay It Forward. It's about Caring & Sharing. It's about Compassion & Kindness.

It's about Generosity. It's about Sacrifice & LOVE. You Get what you Give. SO GIVE OFTEN & ABUNDANTLY!!!

Desgroseillier family celebrate 25 Years of owning La Maison Article and Photos by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario -- The Trevor Walsh Band was in Cornwall on Saturday to help with the 25th Anniversary celebrations.

"It's 25 years the family has owned the bar - starting with Gerry and now with Dan Desgroseilliers. It was great to see some of our past staff and customers come back to celebrate with us. I am sure people will love the new look and we invite everyone to be part of our next 25 years", says Rodney Rivette who's company Rock Star Productions manages entertainment at La Maison.

It was a full house on Saturday for a fantastic concert.

Music fans also got to see some new renovations to the stage including new lighting and a new sign on the stage.

Congratulation to the owners of La Maision on twenty-five years of success.

M O RRELL Establishing a Filing System

To set up your filing system, scour the house and collect all the family paperwork. Look for these types of documents. It also gives you an idea for categories and subcategories:

Manual/ Electronic

- Automobile: Car titles, automobile insurance

Part 2 of 5

policies, car repair records, tire warranties, owners' manuals and car loan documents.

Finding The Filing Systems That Works Best For You

- Banking: Bank statements, cancelled checks, check

You have to find the system that works best for you. However the filing system that works the best in a home isalphabetical.

With this system, you can find what you are looking for in a few seconds. By setting up your filing system alphabetically, anything you are looking for can only be in one or two places, three at the most when using the name of a person in your family.

For example, if you need the manual for a printer, it will be filed under "O" for Office Equipment or '' H'' Household inventory; then place the manual in a manila folder called "Printer." That's it. You file all the information about a person in your family under their first name, then file the information as previously mention .

Warning: Too many categories may cause confusion and defeat the purpose. So, keep the number of categories to a maximum of 3.

Planning - Phase 1 To implement a truly effective filing system, you need to start with a plan. Simply slapping a label on a folder won?t cut it.

registers, safe deposit box numbers and keys, money market accounts and certificates of deposit.

- Bills and loans: Credit card statements, receipts from utilities, cable and phone companies, bank debit cards, loan documents, furniture loans and department store accounts.

- Health and healthcare: Medical records, doctor and dentist information, prescription receipts, medical bills, health insurance policies, insurance handbooks and insurance cards.

- Housing: Mortgage statements or rent receipts, house title, property appraisals, floor plans, deeds, home inspections, land surveys, title insurance policies and property tax assessments.

- Household items: User manual, warranties, receipt of purchase, information on service providers, anything expansive for insurance purposes, meaning Valuables: Appraisals, inventories (photographs of art, antiques, jewellery, rare books, silver, china or crystal).

- Insurance: Insurance policies, policy amendments and declarations sub-categories) .

sheets.(under

their

own

- Legal: Marriage certificates, birth certificates and

upright in the filing cabinet drawer or a banker box.

adoption papers, estate files and wills, powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney (living wills), military service and discharge papers, security clearances, passport, proof of citizenship and Social Security cards.

- hanging folders coloured tabs - not too dark

-

For supplies will need :

- several hanging folders - a must to keep files

otherwise you will not be able to see what is written

- manila or coloured folders. If you use color folders you will need sticky labels because once you write the name of a file on dark colour paper it can be very hard to see.

Gathering Paperwork and Records

Retirement: Pension documents, Individual Retirement Accounts, Social Security information and annuities.

Megan Wegg, who toured with Circus de Soleil, is the manager and director of "Move with the Beat" which combines dance and acrobatics.

There were many children participating, adorned in colourful costumes.

Each of the performances were judged and critical feedback was given to all the participants.

One of the judges was Miles Faber, who was the runner up on So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 1.

"I think the most important thing for novice competitors is to have fun while they learn", said Wegg.

About a hundred and fifty dancers participated from various dance companies including two Cornwall area schools: BCDC and Powell School of Dance.

According to Wegg "Move With the Beat" will return to Cornwall next spring.

TRO TTIER WATER NEEDS OUR LOVE AND GRATITUDE

by Countess Trottier/ Trotzier As prophesied by the Wise Ancient Mayan, an awakening is taking place all around the world. The Ancient Mayans, as well as many other Indigenous Peoples, have known that the Winter Solstice time period of December 21, 2012, was the beginning of the end of patriarchal controls and their 6,000 years of violent wars, hatreds, slavery, illusions, imbalances between the feminine and masculine energies.

During the Winter Solstice of 12/ 21/ 2012, the Sun aligned withPlanet Earth and with the Center of the Galactic Milky Way. This happens every 26,000 years causing a completion of one cycle and the beginning of another cycle.

Throughout the World during the 12/ 21/ 2012 Winter Solsticemillions of Individuals participated in ushering in the great beginning of our NEW ERA OF FLOWERS, AETYR ENERGY, SERENITY, AND AT LONG LAST AWORLD IN BALANCE WITH THE FEMININE AND MASCULINE ENERGIES CO-CREATING A WONDERFULL WORLD FOR ALL HUMANS ANDFOR ALL CREATIONS IN NATURE ...

INCLUDINGTHE CLEANING OFEARTH'S WATERS. As the Mayan Elders prophesied a spiritual mind-set would begin and from manysmall beginnings of Individuals wanting to clean up the world and the world's water, this year thousands and thousands of people joined in prayers to reinforce the positive and loving energies on Planet Earth and to bring forth

In one experiment, Dr. Emoto had a group of students form around some glasses of water. He had them think of the great love they had for the water before them and to send the water thoughts of gratitude. This water was then later analyzed. He also arranged to have the same group of students concentrate on another set of glasses of water before them but this time to feel only hate and bitterness for it. This water was also analyzed.

The result was in the crystallisation that water forms. In the love and gratitude state the crystallisations of the water were immaculately designed crystals and of such beauty! While in the hate and bitterness state the water looked deranged, imbalanced, and yes topsy turvy!

It has since then been proven by White Russian scientists that water can actually feel and retain memories of experiences.

DESNO YERS MEMBERS?MEETING April 1 The visual arts have long been the solitary sister in the art family. Visual art is performed alone in the studio and then brought forward and shared upon completion. It is at this time that the critique begins and the artist moves away and allows the work to stand on its own.

Times have changed.

Contemporary art adds an element of performance in many ways, inviting action and audience participation. In the 1960?s active art broke the barriers of traditional art in such a way that visual art became entertainment.

Art Battle is a manifestation of visual art, performance and audience participation.

This activity, for the very private studio dwellers, is a threatening venue.

But like the moth drawn to the flame the artist can?t help but want to know more about it.

For this very reason and because an actual Art Battle is planned in May at the Social on Sydney, Focus Art has planned a mock art battle in the comfort zone of our April 1 ?meeting?.

Members will set up a mock art battle and give each other the ?fun ? of experimenting the event. We shall be both audience and performers. A canvas and acrylic paint will be furnished. Members should bring their own brushes (for acrylics) and wear paint clothes. Bring munchies if you like and of course your ideas.

Visit: Artbattle.ca

See you April 1 at 7 pm Centre Charles-Ă&#x2030;mile Claude

Artists need bring their ideas, art material, a table covering and a lunch.

Please register that we may organize adequate space. rosedesn@cogeco.ca Looking forward to seeing many of you.

APPLES AND ARTS Studio Tour: Don?t forget that if you plan to be part of the Apples and Art Studio Tour you must register by March 28, 2015. Application is on the website.

Jacqueline Milner is offering to help with taking pictures of your work.

Small workshop, maximum 6 participants per workshop to go over best practices for photographing artwork. Whether it is 2-d work, sculptural or under glass. This will be available to 2015 Apples & Arts participants only. We will discuss best practices, equipment needed, (participants need to bring their cameras, tripod if available, fully charged batteries and a memory card with space to take photographs in the studio) Participants not intimately familiar with their camera, please bring your camera manual. Discuss cropping and resizing of images ready for web use. Saving files to your computer and how to retrieve files from your computer is a prerequisite.

Date for workshop (I can host with minimum of 4 participants.)

Saturday, April 11, 10 ? 12 Price per workshop, to be paid in advance to reserve spot, is $20.00 incl. tax Interested parties can e-mail their interest jacqueline@image-inephotography.com I will then e-mail a Paypal invoice which they can pay online. Once a spot has been reserved and paid, it is non-refundable.

SHARING HAPPINESS: Tracy-Lynn Chisholm, member of Focus Art, is well known for the friendly whimsical art that attracts your eye at every fair, public place and exhibition in the area. She is sharing this happy style with students wanting to take her course on April 11 from 1 to 5. Interested? Reach her at obostudios@hotmail.com for more details.

PAINT-IN: Our previous paint date March 5 was so popular that we are repeating the get together. Once again we meet at OPG (Ontario Power Generating) Visitors?Centre at 2500 Second Street West.

by Heather A. Robertson The sweetest feline whiskers you ever did see, that?s what!

After nearly 6 months of searching for my treasured tabby, Rusty, who wandered off back in November, I decided it was time to acquire another cat. A few miserable days with the ?flu? made me realize that there needs to be a furry cuddler to keep you company when you?re sick.

After a brief review of the local SPCA website (sdg@ospca.on.ca and www.sdg.ontariospca.ca) I accepted the fact that I needed to see these animals in person( you know what I mean!) A good friend accompanied me out of sympathy and likely to be sure I didn?t adopt a dozen. So many beautiful kittens put on a performance to attract our attention. One cutie kept reaching through the cage to stroke the attendant, while a jet black teenager spoke to us , came to the front of his cage then snuggled up to me when I held him. Meanwhile, this gorgeous chubby calico didn?t bother to even move from her little cabin. Who could resist this independent attitude? Obviously, not us! I had to sit down; we are talking about a cat who has not missed many meals! Her shelter name was Chloe; at six years old she might not get adopted whereas the kittens likely would. We agreed to ?reserve? her and it was arranged that she would visit the vet?s the following day. A shave exposed a scar, confirming she had been spayed in the past. A few minor treatments, a microchip inserted, $180 payment of adoption feescalico Cat and she was mine.

Once home, she gave us a complete home inspection; she ignored food, water, and litter for two days. I invited family and friends to vote on a new name for her. She is a diluted calico; instead of white, orange and black, her colours are diluted to white, beige and charcoal grey. So? should she be Calico, or maybe Duster or Bunny because she kept investigating behind and under furniture which resulted in dust bunnies in her whiskers and ears?

Also considered KC for Kitty Cat; Camiaow because of her colouring; Rochy, Pebbles,or Penny to poke fun at some family names! I couldn?t call her ?Whatzername? for long.

Well, the new owner of our home is Kalico with a ?K? for pizzazz, and she already answers to Kali. She is sedate, a real chub, and very cuddly. Life is good.

Community Health Centre at the corner of Pitt and Fourth Streets .It?s like a treasure chest of fresh goodies with so many treats. There are 2 choices: the $10 box or the $15 box.

We always get the larger one because we really enjoy the variety.

Folks bring their own cloth reusable bags, and you?ll need 2 for each Green Box. The crew of volunteers are the cheeriest group you?ve ever dealt with, and everyone is so helpful. Besides the produce, which is local whenever possible, there are great recipes and tips about this month?s specials. This month the

box provided: marvellous carrots, cilantro, lettuce, potatoes, sweet potatoes, red peppers, an avocado, oranges, apples, cucumbers, a cabbage, bananas, lemons, broccoli, green onions, and celery (I think). At times, we have enjoyed parsnips, chard, mushrooms, asparagus, pears, spinach, clementines, beets, onions, radishes, and so much more. Very often the pick-up day coincides with a class called Cooking Out of The Box ( a free monthly program). There are samples available to try, and I have loved any dish offered. The soups and salads are especially delicious. Jessica McLeod is the Registered Dietician in charge, and you can enquire about these programs by calling 613-930-4892, ext 229. Try it, you?ll love it.
