LIFT-OFF RUNS OUT OF HOT AIR... For now...

The ink hadn't even dried up on our lift-off sponsorship contract when the news of the festival's cancellation reached our desk Tuesday morning.

It was sad to hear. Cornwall was losing their signature event, at least for this year. Shortly after the announcement, gossip started buzzing. "Why is this happening? Where did the money go? And what will happen to the money Lift-Off received from the city this year? Is Ribfest next? Speaking of Ribfest, why don't they use Local People? Nobody in Cornwall benefits from Ribfest! Lift-Off is dead, now let's make sure we kill that other festival too!"

"Drink, Link and Think"

I'm exaggerating a little, but in good Cornwall fashion, the negativity kept coming. I can't speak about Lift-Off and how they ran their ship, but here is what I know about Ribfest.

RSVP to info@theseeker.ca or call 613-935-3763 ext 1

First and foremost, it's AWESOME! Summer, BBQ, Music, Carnival Rides, FREE ADMISSION... There is nothing not to like! You think the ribs are substandard and overpriced? Don't eat them! You don't want to line an outsider's pockets? Grab a burger elsewhere and bring it to the park! You can still enjoy the shows--consisting of mainly local bands--for free, and sip on a a cold brew in the beer garden at a reasonable price.

You MUST RSVP to attend

Critics complain that Ribfest is not local. True, Ribfest does bring in a traveling show that comes from both Canadian and US cities, but please don't make it sound like it is actually closed to local vendors. A visit to the website will quickly show you the event is open to anybody. Ribbers, dry vendors, food vendors, from Cornwall or anywhere else, anybody can pitch their tent and profit from the event. No discrimination here.

And the money that is being made by Ribfest does not leave town as soon as Ribfest leaves. That money goes a long way. It goes to local charities and individuals who need it. No discrimination there either.

Ribfest is Cornwall Seaway Lions' biggest fundraising event of the year and every penny made by the festival is reinjected directly in the community. A fine example of this is the recent $30,000 given to the Hospital Foundation to help open their cancer treatment facility. Ribfest 2014 paid for that. It also allowed the Lions to make smaller donations to Mike and Tia Scott, Encore Senior services, OSPCA, Mike Proulx's volleyball tournament for CHEO, Poapst Snowsuit Fund and also provided eye exam clinics to two local elementary schools this year. I'd say Cornwall benefits plenty.

There will always be people who always complain. Lift-off charges an entrance fee in order to pay for bigger bands, people are not happy. Ribfest doesn't charge an entry fee but has no big name headliner, they're still not happy. If we want our events to survive, we have to not only get behind them and support them by attending them, but we also have to stop the negative dialogue surrounding them. THAT's what truly kills the morale of volunteer boards who generously give of themselves to create larger-than-life summer activities that benefits everyone, young and old. Next time you hear a negative comment, why not fight it with a positive?

Pre se nt e d by The Se e ke r Quilt of Belonging Receives Ontario Trillium Foundation Grant

Wednesday, April 8th, Lancaster, ON ? SD&G MPP Jim McDonell is pleased to announce that Quilt of Belonging has been awarded an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant of $56,500 over 12 months to create a dynamic new website with current technology, information and educational resources. Quilt of Belonging has become a trusted source of cultural information for Canada and the new site will increase access to educational and cultural resources by creating an online hub which will feature updated cultural profiles for all Canada?s.The Quilt?s educational resources will be put on-line so that they can be used free-of-charge, anywhere in Canada and internationally. We plan to design new resources as well, that are interactive, fun and relevant for students and educators at all grade levels. The Quilt project has long been included in school textbooks throughout Canada.

Educators have found it an effective tool for reaching youth with the messages of inclusion, acceptance, diversity, respect and belonging. The education resources will be translated into French, Mohawk, Ojibwe, Oji-Cree and Inuktituk to make the resources truly accessible to all. Our partners for this endeavour include The Native North American Travelling College, The Debajehmujig Creation Centre, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami , The Canadian Ethnocultural Council, Centre Charles-Émile Claude , Centre Culturel de Cornwall and the project is further supported by The Akwesasne Area Management Board.MPP Jim McDonell says ?Quilt of Belonging is a tangible testimony to Ontario?s and Canada?s diversity, openness and unity. Through its tours and educational material, the Quilt has brought together Canadians across generational, cultural and geographic divides. This Trillium grant will help the Quilt improve its online presence in order to deliver its bright message to more Canadians and have the best chance of having a meaningful impact. I extend my sincere congratulations to the Quilt of Belonging for this recognition of the outstanding work they continue to do in spreading a message of hope, community and tolerance. ?Quilt of Belonging has impacted millions in its16 year journey, and with the new website and on-line educational resources, will continue to reach out to the world, sharing the important message, A Place for All!

Confabulation ? Montreal?s

A new Lions Club Invites Community to Join and Make a Difference

premiere all-true storytelling event comes to Cornwall!

Confabulation, Montreal?s premiere all-true storytelling event, presents Firsts: Stories of beginnings, re-beginnings, and taking it from the top! at Dream Builder Studios (2107 Second Street W, Cornwall) on Saturday April 11th at 8pm. For the first time, Confabulation brings its wildly popular monthly showcase to Cornwall.

Confabulation is a unique storytelling event in Montreal featuring honest accounts, told without notes, props, or gimmicks. The show is inspired by The Moth, and millennia of oral tradition history, and hopes to encourage the practice and art of storytelling in this contemporary world.

Confabulation is hosted by its creator Matt Goldberg, best known for being one sixth of the Montreal-based award-winning sketch comedy troupe Uncalled For. Confabulation is co-produced by the No More Radio ?

Montreal?s first podcast network and will partner with local community theatre companies Vagabond Theatre and SVTC for this special presentation. Everyone has a story! Inspired by Cornwall?s diverse cultural scene, Confabulation will take to the road for the first time bringing three seasoned Montreal storytellers to the show ? Leigh Kinch-Pedrosa, Paul Aflalo, and Cornwall native Cassandra Togneri, ? who will be joined by three first-time local storytellers- Jean Leger, Cornwall real-estate agent, community theatre veteran, and family man; Jenny Dagenais, Cornwall native, hairdresser and make up artist, and Michael Togneri, retired air traffic control instructor, hobby sailor, and father. Enjoy interpretations on the theme of firsts with stories about near-death experiences, culture shock, homecomings, a Korean wedding, and more.

A core group of current and past Lions have made an application with Lions International to charter a new, Traditional Lions Club to serve the needs of Long Sault/ Ingleside & District. This core group has a combined service of approximately 100 years to date and is seeking civic-minded men and women to join them in making a difference in the community. The group is hosting an information session on April 23rd at 7 pm at the Trinity United Church on Maple Street in Ingleside for people who want to learn more about the club and its plans.

There will be refreshments and special guests to inform you about the great works of Lions Clubs.

A Lions Club gives members an opportunity to advance worthy causes, serve with friends, and become leaders in the community. Being a Lion gives you the chance to give back to the community, help those people in need and introduce new projects. There is no limit to where or how many community-based clubs can be formed. This Lions Club will be open to men and women having attained the age of majority.

Couples are encouraged to join as a team. The Lions? motto is ?We Serve,? and the yet-to-be-named club will live up to it. To learn more about the information session, call 613-577-0818 or 613-346-7044

SAUVE What if I get a slip AFTER I?ve already filed my taxes?

If you receive another slip (or an amended slip) after filing your taxes, it is very important to alert your tax preparer! A slip you received in 2015 that bears the 2014 taxation year cannot be saved and claimed on your 2015 tax return. The slip could be an important adjustment that will alter your income or credits on your tax return and cause you to have a larger refund or have a balance owing. Your tax preparer will make the appropriate adjustment(s) to your tax return to reflect the slip (or amended slip) and will advise you of the result. If you do not alert your tax preparer to the slip, CRA will automatically re-assess you later on in the year, but will charge you interest if this re-assessment resulted in a balance owing. Should an individual fail to file a slip 3 years in a row, CRA will assess a penalty equal to 10% of the amount that was not reported. For example, failure to file an RRSP withdrawal of $5,000 would be assessed a federal penalty of $500 and a provincial penalty of $500 for a total of $1,000. This is non-negotiable. As long as missing slips are filed prior to April 30th, no penalties or interest will be assessed.

THE LATEST BUZZ

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ADVERTORIAL

W ITH

MRS. B It never ceases to amaze me at how many "new" local people walk into our store each week! Some just happen to stop by and some have been meaning to come but never have the chance. At least once a month we get a comment "you should advertise about this gem!" (do you know how much we spend on advertising? - I want to reply back).

But no matter how much you spend on advertising, word of mouth still seems to be our best promoter.

We now have groups that travel from Montreal and Ottawa to our unique store as they were told about us from other friends and family who happened to find us. It also makes us feel good when we see our "regulars" stop by to see what's new and they tell us how "happy" our store makes them feel. I love to read the guest book and see how far away people have come from and the wonderful comments they leave. We even have a couple who come every year from Australia (their son is on a travelling team) and they make a point to seek us out. I also wish that I had a dollar for every time someone mentions how good the store smells (thanks to our wonderful selection of scented candles).

Regardless of how you discover our "gem", we appreciate it when you do stop by. The store is constantly changing and as I love to shop, probably more than you do, I can't help but bring in all kinds of new things for you to discover. The latest new line that we received is Lampe Berger. These are beautiful bottles that you fill with a fragrance or neutral liquid and they help clean your air as well as scent it. This technology has been around for over a hundred years. There are look-a-likes out there, but nothing that cleans your air too. We just received a scent that mosquitoes supposedly don't like, I will personally test it out soon and let you know. If it works for me, it will work for anyone. I think it smells too nice to work.

I hope everyone is enjoying this slightly nicer weather and we would love to see you soon.

years, their household files become so bloated and cumbersome that it's impossible to find anything again.

M O RRELL

Knowing what to keep and how long to keep is the key to an efficient filing system. I advise you to check with your legal and financial advisors to create your retention schedule list.

HAVEYOU BOOKEDYOU R WEDDINGVIDEO?

Cal l us t oday...

Establishing A FilingSystem Manual/ Electronic For example, tax records: Part 3 of 5 Planning - Phase 2 Always write using a pencil. When you no longer need a subject file and want to give it another name, erasing the current name will save you money.

As you create file folders and store paperwork in them, set aside original documents that must be stored away from the home. Legal documents, birth and marriage certificates, titles to automobiles and deeds to real property, stocks and financial documents all should be stored off-site, in a bank safe deposit box or in the case of wills and power of attorney , filed with the family attorney for safekeeping. Just make sure someone you trust knows the location of the bank and lawyer's office.

A fireproof safe in the house is also a good idea. Don't forget to add photo negatives or archived copies of digital photo files.

Memories are valuable, too!

individuals must keep 6 years of income tax paperwork; Businesses should keep a minimum 10 years or more, in case Canada Revenue Agency comes after you - you decide.

Bottom line use common sense. Knowledge of information relating to retention schedule makes it easy to prune out your files.

Creating A Space For Actions Files Actions files is a small filing system independent from your master filing system that is necessary for anyone but even more important for a business.

Instead of putting your ''need to do paperwork '' in a horizontal tray, create actions files folders and put them on a desk or table using a vertical file holder. For example, articles you need to read, papers you need to discuss the next time you speak with a family member/ client, things requiring data entry or bills. Arrange these files alphabetically or for bill payment by date. These actions files are always the same.

Hanging Folder Tab - A Must Bottom line, better be safe than sorry. The nightmare it will create and the replacement cost are astronomical and some things cannot be replaced.

Creating A Retention Schedule Everyone has a friend or relative who will never part with paperwork - ever. Over the

Each major category of paperwork must be assigned a name e.g., Vehicles, Household, etc... You will never find enough different coloured folder tabs for them all. However, for the categories you used most often, use coloured tabs; it will save you time while filing and retrieving papers.

When you know that your financial section is a blue tab, your household section- green and your vehicles files are under yellow, you don?t even have to think because your hand just naturally goes to the right part of your drawer.

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

Enjoying LEFTOV ER HA M

I already made a huge potful of delicious pea soup, so now I will continue on with a crock of baked beans using our leftover ham. To go with the baked beans, I made a pan of light and fluffy tea biscuits. Both dishes are so economical yet satisfying. I hope you try my baked bean recipe. If you like, you can add a 1/ 2 lb. of cooked hamburger into the beans as they bake. Plain or with ground beef, these beans are delicious! Enjoy a great week!

MAPLE BAKED BEANS Pure maple syrup makes these beans shine! Very soon we will have Gary and Jean Iven's pure maple syrup in my store, Sharyn's Pantry.

When our maple syrup is delivered, I know that spring is finally here!

INGREDIENTS:

Curves??Feed the Need?food drive a success

2 tsp. dry mustard 1 cup or more chopped up leftover baked ham 4 bacon slices cooked and chopped into small pieces + 2 tsp. of bacon fat, from frying the bacon 1 tsp. Kosher salt and 1 tsp. ground black pepper 1 or two apples, peeled and cored and sliced to add just the last hour or so of baking the beans. You will drizzle some maple syrup over top of the sliced apples.

?We choose the Agape Centre food bank to be the recipient of our food drive because of the work that they do to make sure that no one goes hungry in our community,? said Diane Besner, owner of Curves Cornwall With just a week before the end of the month long initiative, the group was still 130 pounds shy of their 600 pound goal, but the women at Curves stepped up to the challenge.

-Now, place the pot of beans on the stove and bring the water to a boil. You will have a scum form as the beans begin to boil. This always happens. Just take a slotted spoon and skim off this scum. Discard the scum. Allow the beans to boil until they are completely tender: for about 1 to 1- 1/ 2 hours.

-Reserve the bean water. Using a slotted spoon, place the cooked beans in your bean crock or heavy casserole or roast pan. Add to the beans, the maple syrup, ketchup and BBQ sauce, onions, dry mustard, salt and pepper, cooked bacon and the 2 tsp. of bacon fat. Add enough of the reserved bean cooking water to completely cover the surface of

-Bake the beans in a 300 degree F. oven for 5 to 6 hours.

Or if overnight, bake the beans in a 250 to 275 degree F. oven for about 8 hours. Check once of twice to see that there is enough liquid in the crock to cover the beans.

2 large onions, chopped 1 cup or more pure maple syrup 1/ 3 cup ketchup and 1/ 3 cup BBQ sauce

Members and staff of the fitness organization were asked to bring in specific items that are most needed at the food bank, like healthy cereal and school snacks, and canned veggies.

-Rinse the dried beans and place them in a large pot. Cover them by at least 5" with cold tap water. Allow the beans to soak, at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours.

the beans. Stir to mix everything. I use a foil lined baking sheet to sit under the crock of beans. If there is a boil over, my oven won't get all messy. Place the lid on the bean crock.

2 lb. Great Northern beans (dry) (We carry this far superior bean at Sharyn's Pantry. It is 200% better than a plain navy or pea bean. Try the difference yourself!)

Cover Story - Curves Cornwall?s annual food drive surpassed its goal, collecting 640 pounds of food for the Agapè Centre.

METHOD:

said Alyssa Blais, executive director at the Agapè Centre. ?People love getting real fruits and veggies with their food

-About the last hour of cooking, I lay some apple slices over top of the beans and drizzle some maple syrup over top of the apples. Take the lid off of the beans for the last 15 minutes to allow the apples to carmelize a bit. Serve hot. Extras may be frozen or another meal. ENJOY!

The food collected in this campaign has already been added to the food bank?s shelves, and will help feed the 1,000 people who access the free service each month.

One member, Ellen Boulerice, carried in 15 to 20 pounds of food items every time she went in for her workout.

Besner was very pleased with the enthusiasm from Curve?s staff and members.

The organization also purchased bags of potatoes and carrots with the proceeds from water sales for the month of March.

?A big thanks to all that participated in the drive. You made a difference in reaching and surpassing our goal,? she said. ?We did it!?

TRO TTIER/TRO TZIER ORGANIC GARDENERS ARE ECO-CONSCIOUS EARTH STEWARDS!

by Countess Trottier/ Trotzier To become an organic gardener is a decision many people have to make at this present time. Why? Because there exists, right now,too many questionable garden products that can harm humanhealth, including the health of pets, the wildlife, and our planet Earth.

Once the decision is made, the new organic gardener needs to become informed about the dangers that exist in doing gardening the corporate-conventional way.

At the same time, it is important he/ she discoversthe multi-benefits of gardening with products and ways that harmonize with nature, in many instances, practises that our wise ancestors have used for thousands of centuries. To be an organic gardener is an experience that brings such feelings of satisfaction and a deep love for our Planet Earth and its magnificent processes. For instance, when I became most impatient with the use of thelarge, heavy plasticcompost bins that took months to convert the kitchen and garden waste into pure humus, I starteddiggingholes about 10-12 inches deep and directlydropping in vegetables and fruit discards, then covering them withearth.

It was amazing! In less than one month the discards had been converted into pure humus! The Earth proved itself the be the best chemist and offered the safest way to compost by converting quickly andefficiently the leftover plant foods from the kitchen.

After doing some research and YOU are ready totake the new path towards a healthy Earth, one of the first step is to select an area or areas around your yard where you want to start your organic garden which can consist of vegetables, fruits, herbs, flowers.

The next step is to purchase organic and heirloom seeds.There aremany "organic gardening" sites on the internet which gives the name of companies that supply the seeds you decide on having in your own new pastoral arcadian garden.

At this early stage, it helps to also know why

not to buy genetically manipulated seeds which most often do not have the ability to produce seeds in the following years. These GMO seeds (genetically modified organisms)are not being accepted in countries throughout the world. These GMO seeds are also highly dependent on synthetic chemicals/ fertilizers/ herbicides to produce and arecausing healthproblemswhenever people eat these plant foods, as well as the chemical sprays are oftentimes very injurious to humans and to the wildlife.

As an organic gardener, it is going to beimportant to buy organically certifiedand heirloomseeds. Another way to start "small" is to buy organically grown vegetables and plant some of them. For example, a potato can be cut up where the eyes are and planted directly in the soil; carrot tops can also be planted; and seeds from organically grown tomatoes can be planted in your garden; my favorite is to take the cloves from an organic garlic bud and plant them directly in the earth.

It is also important toknow how to prepare the soil. When natural composting takes place, the humus produced can be spread around in the garden area. This humus is so fertile that earthworms are going to add more nutrientsas they alsoaerate the earth allowing the roots of your plants to grow easily. Yes, the earthworms are your personal guides who are going to let you know that you are doing things right. Then you are going to find yourself with other "nature guides" who are going to drop-in such ashoney bees, butterflies, birds, squirrels and other wildlife. Have no fear!

Instead feelings of achievement will overtake you:the organic gardener ... because you will realize that because of you life on Earth can continue to develop in a healthy environment ... including your own health is going to improve.Your decision to move forward and become an organic gardener ... and an eco-conscious Earth Steward is going to open up one of the most beautyfull future for you and the Planet Earth!

Next week I am going to write about what foods can be composted and more about the designing of an organic garden.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi there to everyone of you who is reading the most positive and informative "REAL" paper in the Cornwall & S.D. & G. area. Day by day the Spring-time weather has been getting warmer, the sun seems to be brighter and the birds are finally returning from their long vacations down South. Spring is a time of year for New beginnings and of Rebirth. There are many miracles that are happening all around us... All we have to do is OPEN OUR EYES to the wonderments that lay before us!!! So why not get out and about to witness the "Majesty of Spring". Take along a family member, a friend or one of your neighbours to see what you can witness this Spring. Although Mother Nature is still throwing some cold days and snow at us... the sightings of crocuses and robins give us the comfort and assurance that Spring is here and here to stay.

PO SITIVELY

BAKER

I hope that you all had a joy-filled and family orientated kind of Easter weekend everyone. I certainly did with the glee of seeing five out of my six grandchildren (Lincoln, Abigail, Sampson, William and wee Odin) and nearly half of my grown children (Melinda, Luke and Ella Rose) this past weekend. We all got to enjoy each other's company...chitting and chatting about all kinds of topics...ranging from the children's interests in and out of school, why my third daughter, Ella Rose was in London, England (just vacationing this time, as she is an International model, that models all around the world.)...and of course catching up on what everyone else has been doing or had done since the last time we had been together. We all enjoyed lots of delicious foods, that included a couple of turkeys, all kinds of tasty vegtables and tons of mouth watering desserts... like cherry cheese cake, a pumpkin pie, a key-lime pie, and our family's guarded secret of ribbon cake that only Grammy could make at one time. Melinda, the eldest of my seven children, has been making it for years and this year she has it down pat. It was not only great looking but delicious to boot. (Not that there were any boots involved.) Tee hee hee.

Congratulations on this wonderful "food feat", Melinda. (without any boots) A BIG THANK YOU goes out to my son-in-law, Michael Vance for all of the hard work he did to make Sunday's Easter meal so delicious. Thank you also to my daughter-in-law, Luke's wife, Tonya for making the delicious stir fry on Saturday evening for me and the other family members that attended. All in all, I had a most enjoyable and fun-filled Easter weekend. I just love being with and around my family. Don't all of you???

The Cornwall Area Pop Event (CAPE) is soon approaching in ONLY (8) DAYS from today. On April 18th (next Saturday) starting at 10:00 o'clock a.m. until 4:00 p.m., Cornwall is going to be invaded by hundreds and hundreds of Comic and Pop enthusiasts. Even ~The City of Cornwall~ is jumping on the bad wagon and helping out by allowing people to ride FREE on the buses that will be going to and from the event. How wonderful and supportive is that??? Way To Go Cornwall!!! Thank you so much for your support of helping out local businesses such as ~Fantasy Realm~ and ~Carol Grant Productions~ who are working hard to put this event together!!! My partner John Lister and I will be there with our green screen, ready to take photos of the people who will be wearing their cosplay costumes and different outfits. This is an ideal time to have us capture you in costume, as we are providing a service where the photo is edited to become a work of art, in the form of a movie poster featuring YOU! We do much more than simply add a background, we actually put you IN the scene in a very believable manner. To see what we mean, please visit the website at www.photodreams.ca and check out some samples. We are offering a special CAPE price, for a full sized movie poster, including printing. We look forward to seeing many of you at our booth at CAPE. Until Next Week: To those who see with kind and loving eyes, Life is Beautiful. To those who speak with tender and soft voices, Life is Peaceful. To those who help with gentle and loving hands, Life is FULL. And to all those who care with compassionate and loving hearts, Life Is Good Beyond ALL Measure.

Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca and www.photodreams.ca

DESNO YERS At the Cornwall Public Library, Focus Art is celebrating its artists.

The association is proud of its partnership with the library and the people who direct it. Pierre Dufour has been our able liaison with administration. Dawn Kiddell, library director has been our voice to the Board of directors but most of all the staff has patiently put up with our requests for all that we need to make an exhibition a reality.

If it seems simple and a success that is because it has been well handled.

The spring show is the realisation of Linda Geisel and Julia Lucio, Vice-presidents of the association and a team of volunteers who work at intake, hanging, hosting a reception and overall organisation. The biggest worry of the event is that artwork be well hung with a solid wire and well attached to their frame. Modern frames are often made of plastic and do not support the weight that is imposed on them. It is always sad to see a beautiful piece of art fall to the ground because it was not properly hung.

As always the Spring Show is exclusive to members. Often this activity incites artists to become new members (at this time of the year a new member pays only $15.00 since membership anniversary is in September).

The Show is non-competitive except that the visitors are invited to vote for their favourite piece of work. This should not be a popularity vote but

a sincere choice by the viewer of what he or she admires most in the works presented.

All artists are winners when viewers stop and reflect on their art. It feeds the soul. A visitors?notebook is left nearby to receive comments.

Painting, photography and sculpture can be a solitary endeavour and the artist, other than at the vernissage, does not always get the feed back that he or she hungers for.

Unlike in theatre or music the audience is far, removed and feed back difficult to obtain making the visual artist unsure of his progress.

Artists love to hear what you think. ?Talk of us badly, talk of well, but please just talk about us...? said someone.

Be sure to visit the Library between April 13th and May 8th and enjoy the exhibition at the south end near the windows. Don?t forget to sign the guest book and vote for your People?s Choice.

PAINT-IN: Artists reserve April 25th all day for a paint?in at OPG visitors?center. Bring your paints, canvas and lunch. Enjoy the company of other artists while you do your thing. (10 to 2:30). Welcome.

NEXT MEMBERS?MEETING: May 6 at 7pm. Year end review, budget, elections of new board and more. Centre Charles-Emile Claude, 126 Chevrier.
