Is it just whit e pride?

Pride : a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed inbearing, conduct, etc.

After 6 years in power, The President of the United States (@POTUS) finally was allowed to get his own Twitter account.

Within minutes, the poor guy was flooded with tweets coming from idiotic racist right wingers throwing racial slurs at him as if they were going out of style.

The bombardment and intensity of the insults aimed at POTUS revealed just how little has been achieved in the States as far as eradicating the hatred goes. "Welcome to Twitter N*gger", "Hello Black Monkey", and "We need a rope" are only a few of the milder messages the President received that day. Some were much more graphic and quite frankly, hard to read. Is that what we call "white pride"?

I was kind of hoping twitter would put a stop to it; I understand we have freedom of speech but when we reach the point where that speech becomes hate speech, shouldn't the person be silenced?

PHOTO JOURNALIST: Carol Grant THANK YOU to the many volunteers who contribute to this paper

I looked further.

Did you know that if you type "nigga house" in Google Maps, the very first result that shows up is the white house? And you know why?

O UR CO NTA CT INFO RM A TIO N

Surely, the White House did not use the words "nigga house" to describe their website! The keywords and meta tags do not include those words, but Google uses algorithms to index stuff. It also relies on user interaction and these users, by flooding sites with keywords that link to a certain page, can trick Google's algorithms into making mistakes. Is that what we call "white pride"?

I was kind of hoping Google would put a stop to it; I understand errors happen, but when these errors reach the point where they propagate hate, shouldn't they be rectified? Immediately?

Millions of Americans hide behind the "White Pride" label, yet the white pride movement is deeply rooted in racism. Their logo is widely used by white separatists, white nationalists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists. They proclaim they have a right to be proud of their race, but do they have that right to the detriment of other races? They deny that there is such a thing as "White Entitlement". They stick their heads in the sand to avoid facing the injustice going on in their own country. They use the bible to justify their actions. They demean, insult, belittle. And they do it to anyone who's not white. Even the President.

I believe white pride is an excuse to be racist. I personally refuse to be part of anything that makes others feel less significant. I believe that to lift yourself up, you have to lift up others. And I believe that the way you treat people comes back ten folds.

Remember. We all bleed red.

Comedy Event t o Benef it Friends of Vet s

Cornwall Ontario -Comedy returns to La Maison on Friday May 29th brought to you by Off your Rocker, for a charity event for "Friends of Vets". Friends of Vets is apeer support group for men and women who have served their country along with their dependants. Headlining the event is Brendan McKeigan who has appeared on George Stroumboulopoulos, the prestigious Just for Laughs festival and is no stranger to performing for both American and Canadian military. McKeigan has just returned from a military base tour overseas."I was overseas for nearly three weeks. We were at three bases in Kuwait, two in Iraq, another in Ethiopia, and a final stop in Djibouti. The shows were vastly different than any other atmosphere. Some of these shows were outdoors. In Baghdad, I was on stage and got heckled by a few Choppers that were landing about 200 yards from the show. That doesn't happen very often back home", recalls McKeigan of his tour overseas.Brendan recalls the experience fondly."It means a lot to go entertain the military. This was a USO tour, but it was great to visit a few bases that had a nice mix of countries all sharing the base. The best compliment I've ever received was whenever I get told, "For an hour and a half, I forgot I was deployed." Nothing anywhere is going to compare with that. Not even free drinks after a show". The show also features locals Stuart Asselstine, Jimmy Brunet, Ottawa comic Aaron Powers and hosted by Mark Vincent. Show starts at 8:30 at La Maison, $15 tickets available at La Maison, Floral Expressions, and ticketscene.ca

Cornwal l ?s Francophone Capabil it ies Cel ebrat ed

CEO and Founder of BFL CANADA, and the band REPLAY are proud to announce the production of a series of fundraising concerts aimed at promoting local Women?s Hockey.The first concert will be held on June 19th at the Aultsville Theatre in Cornwall. Profits will be distributed to the Cornwall Girls Hockey Association, a member of the OWHA. Also, as a special gesture, part of the proceeds for this first concert will go to Brian Tardiff, whose lifelong commitment to Women?s Hockey and sports in the area is legendary amongst the Cornwall community. Mr. Tardiff and his family have been battling with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig?s disease) since late 2013.For the occasion, REPLAY, Canada?s most authentic tribute to The Beatles, will recreate the magic of Beatlemania during a night of greatest hits from the British superstars. ?Girls were a big part of The Beatles? success, so playing Beatles music to support Women?s Hockey is great for us to do as a tribute band!? comments John Oriettas, Manager for the group. Mr. Rod McLeod, President of the Association, hopes that the night will be a big success, both for the Association and for Women?s Hockey in general.Tickets on sale through www.admission.com or the Civic Complex Box Office, 100 Water St. East, Cornwall Ontario 613) 938-9400. You can also visit the Aultsville Theatre at www.aultsvilletheatre.com

Visitors to Cornwall businesses will soon have a more visible sign of Cornwall?s francophone capabilities via stickers that will be displayed at various locations around the City. The stickers bear the phrase ?Ici on parle franรงais? which translates to ?French is spoken here? and are available to any business that offers French services to the public. ?The stickers are a small but important sign that people are welcome to converse in French,? said Mark Boileau, Manager of Cornwall Economic Development. ?Being able to be served in your own language is very welcoming to visitors.?The stickers are expected to be displayed on doors and windows of restaurants, retailers and offices throughout the city. The stickers carry the same design as street banners erected recently to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Francophones in Ontario.

Cornwall is one of Ontario?s most bilingual cities. Almost half of the population (43.26% ) can converse in both English and French. Francophones represent 25.4% of the City?s population. The first official record of a francophone population in Cornwall dates to 1829, showing that 74 out of 812 Cornwallites were of French origin.

Today, Cornwall?s francophone community enjoys a strong presence in the Cornwall.

Stickers are available at the offices of Cornwall Economic Development at the Cornwall Civic Complex. Business owners are also able to download the artwork via the City's Website.

VEGETABLE GARDEN TIPS AND SYRUP FOR YOUR HUMMINGBIRDS

The weather is just fabulous and I can't wait to get in my garden. Gary and I were spreading manure over our garden yesterday.See my tips for your vegetables and companion planting. Once that is tilled in I will plant two new garden areas. Our dear little hummingbirds are back. It is one of our greatest summer pleasures just to sit at our kitchen table and look through the patio doors at these sweet little birds. If I am out on the deck, they just whiz past me. When we hang the freshly made syrup, they will come right up to the feeder and

SYRUP FOR YOUR HUMMINGBIRDS You can't get any easier. Just bring to a boil for a minute or so: 2 cups water and 1/ 2 cup of white sugar (Don't add any red food colouring to the syrup.)

Once the sugar is dissolv ed, it is finished. Make sure that you scrub out the inside of the hummingbird feeder and the little spouts they drink from. Rinsing well with plain water. Just pour in the warm or room temper ature syrup to fill it. Extras may be stored in a glass jar in your fridge.

MY FAVOURITE COMPANION PLANTING METHOD: After much reading and listening and learning, this is the order in rows which I plant vegetab les.

Certain vegetab les really do better if planted along certain other ones. For exampl e, beans HATE onions and peas. One the other hand, tomatoes love garlic and carrots and basil. Here is an exampl e of the order in each row that I plant the following vegetab les: tomatoes and basil and garlic , carrots , peas, cucumb ers and bush beans (or a single row of each of these vegetab les) corn and beets (you can plant squash or pumpki n seeds every 4' along the row of corn) (the squash will help stop any racoons from getting at your perfect ly ripe corn) broccol i, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower sweet pepper s 3

drink while we hang it up. You just don't get any better than that! If you haven't ever fed the nummingbirds, go and buy a hummingbird feeder. They are only about $10.00 or less. Make the following recipe for their syrup and replace the syrup with fresh about every 5 days in the heat of the summer. Don't put any red food colouring into the syrup as this is bad for the tiny bird's kidneys. Have a great week everyone!

A TIP FOR THE BEST, REDDEST TOMATOES EVER: For each tomato plant: Dig a nice hole that is about 3" deeper than the root system of the tomato plant. Into the hole, sprinkle 2 or 3 tbsp. of skim milk powder into the hole. Along with the milk powder add to this 2 tbsp. of natural wheat bran. Then place the tomato into the hole and spray water to fill the hole. Now cover in the ground into the hole. The milk powder will act as bone meal, providing calcium to nourish the tomatoes. The natural wheat bran will kill any cutworm in the ground surrounding the tomato plant. The cutworm will eat the bran and then explode when it hits any moisture. Not very nice but you want your tomatoes for you not the cutworm! Be sure to place a tomato cage around the tomato now or stake it and gently tie it as it grows. This way you will not disturb the root system as it grows in size. You can buy a small bag of milk powder at Sharyn's Pantry.

A TIP FOR THE BEST SWEET PEPPER S: Plant your sweet pep per plants as you would normally do. Now take your fing ertip and run a circle about 1/ 2" in dep th in the soil 5" from the stem of the pep per plan and about t all around the pep per. Into this circ ular indentat ion, spri nkle a littl e eps om around the circle around the pep salt all per Now cover this up with eart h. The plant. epsom salt , I find, help s to keep the blossom s that form on your pep per plant from falli ng off if a heavy wind or rain occur. The pep you hav e to a large size as wel l. You can get pers grow the epsom salt at Sharyn' s Pantry.

BAKER

Hi there all you wonderful people reading ~The Seeker~ this week. Mother Nature sure has been very co-operative in giving us some beautiful Spring temperatures at this time of year. Every day brings us more of the "Beauty of Spring," in our gardens, front/ back yards and in my case, my side yard. I love going out each day to see what has "popped up" or "opened up" in the flower gardens that our landlady so lovingly cares for every year. I also wanted to thank you all for voting for John and I. Thank you ever so kindly for taking the time to vote for us...We both have made it into the Top 5 Seeker Choice Nominees in our categories!!! YAAAYYY!!! I look forward to seeing some of you next month at ~Cornwall's Golf & Country Club~ for ~The Seeker Choice Awards~. Now, What am I to wear??? How am I going to have my hair done??? What comfortable, but still sexy, shoes am I to wear for an evening of dancing???

Hmmm??? Choices... So many choices to choose from!!! Don't forget to purchase your tickets to one of Cornwall's BIGGEST & SWANKIEST EVENTS of the Year!!!

I also wanted to ask you to help out a "Good Cause" by donating your unwanted items to H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Cornwall.) This is a nonprofit organization right here in our beautiful city of Cornwall that helps people in need. It is a group that helps people out with gas money for rides to hospitals and or doctor's appointments and prescriptions. Also if you are in need of any appliances, clothes, dishes or furniture they will try their very best to help you. If they can't help you, then they will point you into the right direction to other organizations and groups to help you with your needs.

H.O.P.E is being run by a wonderful woman, Karen Muise who needs all of the help you can give her. She has a weekly auction from her home with the donated items that raise money to be used for those people in need. Without these donations she can't have the auctions or help anyone. So when you are doing your "Spring cleaning" please put aside items that can and could be used for these weekly auctions. I myself have bid on many interesting and unique items throughout the year that have made others happy, including myself. Please get in touch with Karen on the facebook group page, H.O.P.E. if you or anyone you know needs help or can donate new and used items. Thank you kindly in advance. Please do your part... One small step, one helping hand and one kind heart to helping others in need in our city of Cornwall.

Tip of the Week: Always REMEMBER That : 1. You are Beautiful/ Handsome 2. You are Worthy. 3.You are Important. 4. You are Special. 5. You are Unique. 6. You are Wonderful. 7. You are Talented. 8. You are IRREPLACABLE!!! If you remember these (8) eight things about yourself... You will and can be very happy all of your live long days. Please pass this tip along this week to the ones you love, know and cherish.

I don't know if you had an enjoyable ~Victoria Day~ weekend, but I certainly did!!! John and I went kayaking for a 4 hour trek last Saturday along one of Hoople Creek's subsidiary meandering waterways. We had brought along a small cooler with us, that held our drinks and lunch for the afternoon. What a day we had, enjoying the beautiful sunshine and all of the Wonderful Sights of Mother Nature's World.

We were pushed along at times by the cool and refreshing breezes without any effort at all. What A Life We Share!!! Then on Monday John and I were invited to my second oldest son, Luke and his wife Tonya's country home, near Chesterville, Ontario. We had a lot of FUN with them and their little son Odin, along with my eldest daughter Melinda, her husband Mike, and their four children, Lincoln, Abigail, Sampson & wee William. We all got to enjoy ourselves with the wildly blowing winds and the ~Hot~ sun shining down on us. The grandkiddies and I were playing in the baby pool and riding on their bikes and having a gay old time together. (I was in Grandmother Heaven!!!) John and I then decided to go for a nice walk by the creek to see what was happening down there. When we returned we decided to take three of the grandkiddies (Abigail, Sampson, & William) for a walk down by ~Kirby Creek~ to pick wild flowers and to see the Walleye jumping up from their watery home. This led to a challenge with Tonya, Luke and Lincoln. Who can catch a fish with their bare hands??? Well, it turned out that Luke was the one who did just that!!! (with a little "fish herding help" from Tonya and Lincoln.) Then, we all got to enjoy deliciously made BBQed hamburgers, sausages, and hot dogs cooked by Tonya and Mike. As we were all returning from the creek, the sun was coming down and the biting bugs were coming out. Sadly but gladly, it was time for us to depart from this beautiful country setting with our filled tummies and joy-filled hearts.

Deciding What To Keep Group items you want to keep by cat egory in clear plastic bins.

Only items you real l y need are worth storing. If you have not used an it em f or several years, discard, sell, or donate it.

Do not keep anything you do not use just because you paid good money for it. Sell it, or donate it as a gift instead; do not waste storage space.

Discard anyt hing broken or have it repaired, wit hin a mont h, if it is worth it and you can still find parts.

Just because something came in a set, does not mean you need to need/ store every piece. Sort out what is useful to you and give away or sell the pieces you will never use.

If you do not use something every day, storing it is the way to keep it out of the way.

Inst al l enough lights to light up every nook and cranny in your storage area so you can see what you are doing.

OH! PRECIOUS DANDELIONS! As the spring sun appears, its warmingrays stir up myriad of celestial-earth dandelions that shinevaliantly all over fields,people's yards, riverbanks ... and fill eco-lovers hearts with joy!

Who are the eco-lovers of dandelions? Everyhuman who knows what's good for their soul and body!

Photo: John Lucio

Young children rush to pick up the flowery stars! They are never happy with just one dandelion, but we see the young girls and boys rushing a few feet here...there togather more and more and more.

What bouquets of radiating energy the dandelions emit!

And these moments remain embedded in the soul which time can never touch, nor erase. And every year these memories return bringing with them those moments of experiencing pure beauty and total joy.

Categories To Sort By Luggage - Keep only the pieces you use, with larger ones at the back and smaller in front. Do not nest them; you will forget something is inside.

Home of f ice, hobby and craf t suppl ies - Store extra inventory on shelves in clear plastic containers and label them.

Seasonal decorat ions and art suppl ies - Buy divided boxes designed to hold holiday ornaments. These prevent the ornaments from being broken, and eliminate the need to wrap each individual ornament in paper. Regal catalogues are a good source for all kinds of neat organizing items.

Personal paper it ems - Store Owner?s Manuals and warranties for new product purchases in a filing cabinet. Create a file for each item, and store everything in alphabetical order for quick retrieval.

Bul k f ood and paper suppl ies - Supplies such as canned goods, drinks, and other non-perishable foods, bath tissue, napkins, and paper towels can be purchased in bulk on sale or at warehouse stores, and stored on shelves by category and in the room in which they will be used.

Miscel l aneous it ems - Silverware, large capacity coffeemakers, punch bowls, cups, dishes, card tables and chairs should be kept by categories in separate clear plastic bins so dust does not get to them.

Ref rigerat or/ f reezer - Some people keep a fridge and/ or freezer in the basement to store drinks, ice, party overflow food, and big-batch recipes. Put the refrigerator/ freezer on a platform to protect from floods.

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

They enlighten their friends that dandelions in Canada (and throughout the world) are most beneficial because they cleanse the liver, the kidneys, the blood. In other words dandelionsprovide the human body with a natural way to remove the toxins and pollutants that are endangering so many people's health -and which have been there for too many years ... in many cases. Even the dandelion roots are superb cleansers of poisonous body toxins. Our most wiseancestors who practised herbal healing knew that dandelions are capable of removing water waste in the body and can help alleviate painful arthritic and rheumatic pain.

"What's in them that's so good?" asks the soon-to-be-converts.

With a modest attitude of knowingness, the eco-lover of dandelion tells them: "Dandelions are rich in calcium, potassium, natural sodium; high in vitamin A, C, E and iron; with moderate amounts of essential selenium, silicon, manganese."

And with a winning smile the eco-lover of dandelions offers a gift of her dried dandelion leaves to the new eco-lovers of dandelions who are so gratefull and can't wait to do a complete search on their new medicinal plant.

Th e SEEKER CLIENTS say...

Picnic suppl ies - Keep together your cooler, basket, portable dishes, utensils, grill, charcoal, and blankets.

To ensure a good supply of locally grown dandelion leaves, the eco-lovers hasten to pick the tender young leaves, place them in large paper bags to dry out, then carefully store them in glass jars in a cool, dark cupboard. On a regular basis they take some leavesout and crumble them into their soups, stews, pastas, salads. They also make herbal teas with the leaves to sip while discussing with their "pullers-of-dandelion-weeds-friends" the many reasons they too should become eco-lovers of dandelions.

Paperwork and memorabil ia - Store tax records for the past six years (for individual) - for a business (a longer period). Other things such as real estate papers and warranties should be kept in a fire/ waterproof filing cabinet. If you cannot afford a filing cabinet, use banker boxes and store them on a high shelf to protect them from floods. Store val uabl e it ems/ import ant papers (wills, power of attorney, etc. ) into a safe deposit box at the bank.

As adults, those joys are not only to be reminisced, but there now exists the learned discoveries about the way dandelions can benefit one's health.

After a winter of imported greens, it is with delight that eco-lovers prepare herbal teas with the dandelion flowers which they sip after having enjoyeda great salad with the dandelion leavesso full of chlorophyll and oxygen. They did make sure beforehand that the areas where the dandelions were picked were totally free of any kind of toxic pesticides and fertilizers. Of course!

A NYONE CA N BE A V ENDOR! HURRY UP! LA ST CA LL! Jul y 24-26

At 9 a.m. on the third Wednesday of each month, a mix of seniors and students gather in a hallway on the first floor of General Vanier. They?re all volunteers, donating their time in exchange for some leftover food and the satisfaction of a job well done. Their goal is to fill about 150 plastic bins with fresh produce - in only an hour.

Corey Robidoux, a student at T.R. Leger School, tries to be there every month, helping to lift and stack the boxes after they are filled. He says he enjoys giving back. ?It?s a good, generous thing to do for the community. [My teacher] Miss Lalonde asked if I wanted to help, so I volunteer every month.?

Assistance from students like Robidoux is essential to the program, says Health Promoter Stephanie Hemmerick, who works for the Centre de santĂŠ communautaire de l?Estrie. ?We get a lot of students from T.R. [Leger] which is great because one of the challenges with our volunteers is they?re older and can?t lift.?

These volunteers are the backbone of the Green Food Box, a program which provides fruits and vegetables to local families at an affordable rate. This month, about 15 people gave their time to ensure the boxes were properly packed on time. Directions and encouragement were doled out in a mix of French and English as green bins slid along a row of tables, quickly filling up. The contents of the boxes vary according to what is available. Asparagus, grapefruit, and beets were part of this month?s haul, alongside favourites like potatoes, apples, and bananas.

All told, about 15 different products went into the $15 box. While organizers aim to buy from local producers, that?s not always possible.

Cal l JOHN LUCIO Vendor Coordinat or 613-360-1607

?A lot of people don?t realize how short the local season is,? said Hemmerick. ?We do manage to get about 80% local in our boxes during the summer months.?

Summer is an excellent time to start ordering from the Green Food Box. Each order is filled with healthy food and plenty of care. Visit www.greenfoodbox.ca for pickup and payment details.

WINNERS OF THE PEOPLE?S CHOICE at t he Spring Exhibit ion hel d at t he Cornwal l Library

At the first Board meeting of Focus Art, members of the executive were elected: Linda Geisel, president, Julia Lucio and Louise Mignault vice-presidents, Adèle Constantineau, secretary and Elaine Arkright, treasurer.

The Board begins its term with an ambitious project. Focus Art will participate in Ribfest this July. The idea was first presented at the AGM and has continued to grow. The proposed plan is to have an exhibition tent for members? art, performance art by artists at specific times (ex. A mock art battle) and artistic activities for the crowd (children or adults can paint or color).

Of course this will be great for the visual arts allowing artists to mingle and share with the public at an event that attracts a wide variety visitors.

Who knows where this can lead. It will require all artists wanting to share their passion to spend a few hours at Ribfest. Volunteers will be needed.

This could be a novel way to mix the visual arts with the experience of having fun in a totally different way. You can say it?s bringing art out of the gallery to fair.

CALLING ALL ARTIST La Semaine française is happening in Cornwall May 30 to June 6. Focus Art is a part of the activities.

All artists are invited - To come out and paint on Montreal Road between Arthur Street and McConnell on May31 (tents will be set up) and at Lamoureux Park on June 5 and 6.

- Display their art in empty storefronts on Montreal Road - Participate in an art exhibition in the Dalbec building next to Milano restaurant in front of the Community Police. This will be the headquarters of all the events and an excellent venue for displaying your art. (no fee only a 20% on sales) There will be many activities, street dancing, and activities in Lamoureux Park.

If you want to run for a long time, run in a group?. (a friend)
