ED I TO R One of the few people who do something at city hall seems to be Brock Frost. Yes, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the rookie councilor, but at least, he?s not sitting idle on his heinie, waiting for issues to fix themselves. Love him or hate him, Frost is active, he?s bringing forth some innovative ideas. Unfortunately, he?s shut down most of the time. Happy to see councilor Towndale?s motion for council attendance being posted on the website adopted. It?s a step in the right direction for transparency? But you have to wonder about Councilor MacDonald being so passionately against the idea? Paul A. Cornwall

Bus Trips - Fun f or t he Whol e Famil y By Emma Mel drum, special t o t he Seeker Are your kids itching for an adventure this summer? Do you dislike driving long distances, but want to take a family trip away from home? The Township of South Stormont has devised the perfect solution: organized bus trips! The first is a jaunt to Mont Cascades. If this appeals to you, sign up soon - the last day to pay for the trip is July 20th! The bus leaves from Long Sault at 8:00 a.m. on July 24th. A whopping 8 hours is provided for fun at the water park. The second option is for those who love the big city. On August 13th, the bus will leave from Long Sault bright and early (4:30 a.m.). Stops include Ripley?s Aquarium and a Blue Jays game. Sherry-Lynn Harbers, the Recreation Programs Coordinator, says the trip to Toronto has appealed to all types in the past: ?We have families, couples, and older adults all going on this trip, this Toronto adventure has attracted all different ages.? The bus trips are well priced, with the first costing $30, and the second $140 (or $140 for children 13 and under). Both include the bus and entry to the events listed in the itinerary. Many families will be receiving Universal Child Care Benefit this week. An adventure away from home may be the perfect way to treat the kids. ?[We want] to provide safe and fun trips for the Township of South Stormont,? sad Harbers. ?We want to provide bus trips to those who do not want to be driving in the city as well as those who would rather go with a group while we provide a friendly atmosphere.? Anyone interested in more information or wishing to sign up should call the Long Sault arena at 613-534-2419.

RIVER KINGS UNVEIL NEW LOGO
The lion has left town and the Cornwall River Kings will sport a new look when the 2015-16 season kicks off this fall. The team has unveiled a new logo today:
?I think everyone needed a fresh new look to the team,? said owner Steve Moreau. ?The old logo left a sour taste behind due to the politics which surrounded it.?Although the previous logo was decent, most fans didn?t want to be reminded of the trials of the past any longer. With this in mind, Moreau decided to make the change to something which matches the name of the team a little more. What is a River King? ?A River King was a Lumberjack, a log runner, the guy who jumps from log to log while riding down the current of a river. A tough guy who could take a beating and still get up for more. A guy who didn?t give up because of challenges. This logo represents just that. A tough River King holding a hockey stick,? said Moreau. While the River Kings will once again have a new look on the ice, players will return to Cornwall with the same owner in place as the previous season. This is a first in franchise history as the River Kings enter Year 4.There is finally stability, consistency and organization in the office, which is key to any successful business according to Moreau. Now, the LNAH franchise is focused on building the team both on and off the ice. ?When people have a sense of stability they work without the fear of uncertainty and deliver a higher quality product,? said Moreau. ?This is one of the key factors to what this team needed.? Season tickets are now on sale at the River Kings office in the Civic Complex. Pricing is as follows: Adults $250; Seniors/ Students $200; Children under 12 $140.-
Warden?s Gol f Tournament Support s Local Unit ed Way The Count ies, Ont ario ? Warden Eric Duncan of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) hosted the annual Warden?s Golf Tournament last Friday and donated the proceeds to the local United Way.This year?s event was held at Summerheights Golf Links in Cornwall, and welcomed participants from across eastern Ontario including local business owners and dignitaries. Local United Way President Danny Aikman, Executive Director Lori Greer, and Past Campaign Chair Nolan Quinn were also in attendance.?We are really happy with the great turnout and the support for our event again this year,? stated Warden Duncan. ?It?s a great day to get together and network, and to raise funds for an important organization in our community.?Friday?s event continues recent efforts undertaken by Warden Duncan to strengthen ties between the County and local community groups, including the United Way. The United Way held its Annual General Meeting again at the County Administration Building in June. Warden Duncan was invited to participate on the United Way?s Allocation Committee for a second year, comprised of local Board members and community leaders.?Our United Way funds a lot of great programs and agencies that are available to all residents in the region, and the County continues to play a big role in promoting that message,? Warden Duncan concluded.For more information on the United Way of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, visit www.unitedwaysdg.com. Photo: SDG Warden Golf Summerheights Golf Links

Your Art s Council , Cornwal l & t he Count ies is going t hrough some changes, redef ining it sel f t o bet t er serve t he communit y Cornwall, ON ? Your Arts Council, Cornwall & the Counties (YAC) is redefining the way they run their gallery spaces. Richard Salem, the YAC Facilitator, had this to say. ?YAC is managing three gallery spaces in Cornwall: in the foyer at the Aultsville Theatre; at the YAC office in the Aultsville Theatre; and at the Grind CafĂŠ & Wine Bar. We?re planning to expand that circulation to include other venues, but that?s the current circuit. We?ve typically been running month-long shows dedicated to one or two artists at a time at each venue and it?s been challenging for some artists to fill the space available. To make things more inclusive and to spread out the timeline for the exchange of art, we?re moving away from a show-based approach featuring a single artist, though there will still be some of those too. Instead, we?re taking a few pieces from any artist who wants to exhibit and rotating them through all of our gallery spaces. Any artist from the region can submit their work for consideration and circulation. In order to enjoy the full rotation, art must be for sale, and the artist must be willing to part with commissions of 20 or 30 percent, depending on the venue where the item is sold. Interested artists should know that the venue management has final say on whether any given creative work can be hung in their establishment.? ?If you?re a visual artist in Cornwall & the Counties and Akwesasne and want to consign your work to YAC?s circulating gallery, please send a few pictures of your work to the email below. We will let you know if and when we can include your art in our gallery spaces.? ?If you have a business in our region and are interested in exhibiting fresh local art, please note that the pieces are insured, and we will hang them without damaging your walls. You may also choose to rent art if selling on consignment isn?t appropriate for your space.?

Cheers t o t he First Annual Summer Beer Fest Cornwall Ontario -- It was a sunny Saturday to enjoy sweet suds. The first annual Summer Beer Fest was a hopping success. An impressive 1200 advanced tickets were sold and the event on July 11th was a sell-out.
Dave Evans shook Cornwal l al l night l ong
The Summer Beer Fest was an interactive beer and wine tasting festival presented by the Seaway Food Festival and Jet Set Pub (NAV Centre). Guests had the opportunity to sample new products and engage directly with producers and vendors and learn a bit about the science of what goes in their mug. There were 15 breweries, over 35 beers and ciders, winery, and local food vendors. There was also live music and Switchgear headlined the show with an unplugged set. Other live acts included Nicholas Seguin & Dylan Groulx, Jesse Ferguson, and Bruce Ciccarelli. Congratulations to Summer Beer Fest on a successful inaugural event.
Cornwall Ontario -- Before Bon Scott there was Dave Evans the original lead singer of ACDC who was recruited into the band by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young back in 1973. Evans recorded the single "Can I sit Next to You, Girl" in 1974, and the b-side of "Rockin in the Parlour". He visited Cornwall Ontario on Saturday night as a part of his first ever Canadian tour. The original lead singer of ACDC performed an amazing concert at La Maison Tavern and shook Cornwall all night long. His original music is harder than ACDC and is almost reminiscent of Judas Priest in their prime. There were about a hundred people in attendance who enjoyed the concert and got to experience an important part of rock and roll history. Opening the show was ACDC cover band Thunderstuck. Next week local ACDC fans will be able to see another ACDC cover band for free at Ribfest. Perhaps the close proximity of these two events hurt attendance a little bit. However it shouldn't have. Dave Evans is a genuine and authentic musician and one 'hell' of a performer. His show is among the very best to come to Cornwall in the past decade. After the concert Dave Evans met with fans, had his picture taken with fans, and signed autographs. Evans musical resume includes being a part of Rabbit, The Badasses, The Hot Cockerels, Thunder Down Under, and the Apprentice. Most recently Dave Evans collaborated with former Alice Cooper guitarist John Nitzinger to produce the album Revenge in 2013, and in 2014 Evans released an EP length album that was nominated for two UK Music Industry Awards. Dave Evans is continuing his Canadian tour with ACDC cover band Thunderstruck. This is his first visit to Canada, and hopefully he'll be back again soon. He is an incredible performer.
Greer t he Next Generat ion Meet Liam and Ben Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario -- On Thursday July 9th Sevengate played Arts in the Park at the Bandshell in Lamoureux Park. The band features Dylan Delonge, Liam Greer, Ben Greer, and Hunter Delorme. Graham Greer, who is the father of Liam and Ben, is the lead singer of the Barstool Prophets. One year ago it was Graham Greer playing in Lamoureux Park. July 9th would have been the first day of Lift-Off had it not been cancelled this year. Last year the Barstool Prophets helped kick off the first day of Lift-Off opening for Glass Tiger. About a hundred people were in attendance last Thursday to see Sevengate and the Black Diamonds. Coming soon to Arts in the Park: Sunday July 19th is a Community Showcase featuring Tracy Lalonde and more. The show starts at 1:30pm.

The Women?s National Baseball team hit the mound in Cornwall Ontario at Legion Park on Tuesday much to the excitement of the hundreds of people in attendance. Team Canada hit a proverbial home run coming back from a 11-7 deficit against the Cornwall River Rats Men?s Senior Team. Late in the seventh inning, thanks to a pair of walks while bases were loaded, the Women?s National Baseball team rallied and eventually won the game 12-11. Women?s baseball has been added to the Pan Am games, and in preparation the Women?s National Baseball Team is playing a series of nine exhibition games.

extra special for one member of Team Canada. Outfielder Jenna Flannigan got to play in her hometown of Cornwall as a member of Team Canada. ?We have a great team of committed athletes, and I am thrilled that I can showcase our game in my hometown,? said Jenna Flannigan in a quote to Choose Cornwall. Jenna Flannigan, who is 23 years old, recently finished her Masters in Sciences and Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. Flannigan's baseball resume is both extensive and impressive. It includes playing in the National Capital Baseball league as a member of the River Rats. She also won a national title playing with Team Quebec in 2011, and she won gold again playing for Team Ontario in 2012 and 2013. She also won a bronze medal playing for Team Canada at the Women's Baseball World Cup in 2012. The Pan Am games for baseball commence July 20th in Whitby when Team Canada squares off against Team Cuba.Recently Flannigan carried the Pan Am torch at the Ottawa Championship Professional Baseball Game.

River Kings add t wo more? CORNWALL ? The River Kings have come to terms with two key veterans. Williamstown?s Jonathan Jasper will return to Cornwall in 2015-16. The 6-foot-3, 200 lb. defenceman was limited to 18 games last season. He had seven points and 22 penalty minutes.

The speedy Jean-Philippe Caron has also agreed to terms with general manager Rick Lalonde. The 5-foot-10 forward from Shawinigan, QC, had 25 points in 37 games for the River Kings in 2014-15. Caron chipped in six points in Cornwall?s first-round series vs. Sorel. Lalonde expects to announce more signings in the coming weeks. Also, a head coach and captain will be announced soon.

TEMPORARY LAWN WATERING RESTRICTIONS: Ci t y
News
What it means f or you.
The summer months bring warm and dry weather which places an increased peak demand on the City of Cornwall?s water supply system. In addition, there are plans to upgrade and repaint the City water tower on Tollgate Road this summer. The 4.5-million litre capacity water tower will be drained and off-line for a period of time during the work, and that will place an additional demand on the water supply system. In order to ensure adequate water pressure and volume during this work, the City is encouraging residents and businesses to conserve water by following the measures laid out in the new Lawn Watering Restriction By-Law. The By-Law will be in force for 2015 only. Under the new By-Law, property owners with even addresses (ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) can water their lawn on even calendar dates while owners with odd addresses (ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) can water their lawn on odd calendar dates. This is not an outright ban on lawn watering but rather an opportunity to water every other day if need be. The By-Law, which was approved by City Council on Monday night, sets out these restrictions for the period of July 15th to September 30th of 2015. This will coincide with the planned work to the water tower on Tollgate Road. Although residents who contravene the By-Law can be subject to a $300 fine, the primary purpose is to conserve water especially during peak demand periods. According to Mr. St. Marseille, the City will be focusing on blatant cases of wasted water (should they be encountered) as opposed to recreational uses such as a child playing in a sprinkler on a hot summer day. ?We still want children to be children and have fun,? said Mr. St. Marseille. ?The intent isn?t to outright ban lawn watering but rather to target flagrant instances where water is being wasted.? Residents who have specific questions or concerns about the lawn watering restrictions can contact the Municipal Works Department at (613) 932-5354
Lawn Wat ering Tips As part of the effort, the City is encouraging residents to keep these lawn watering tips in mind:
FAQs about Lawn Wat ering Rest rict ion By-Law Why is t he Cit y impl ement ing t his By-Law? The Lawn Watering Restriction By-Law is in effect for the summer of 2015 and it is associated with plans to undertake structural maintenance on the City water tower on Tollgate Road this summer. The 4.5-million litre capacity water tower will be drained and off-line for a period of time during the work, and that will place an additional demand on the water supply system. The restrictions are in effect until September 30th. How does it work? Property owners with even addresses (ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8) can water their lawn on even calendar dates while owners with odd addresses (ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) can water their lawn on odd calendar dates. This is not an outright ban on lawn watering but rather an opportunity to water every other day if need be. Does t his By-Law appl y t o washing my car in my driveway or wat ering f l owers? No. Brief or sporadic water uses like washing a car in the driveway or watering flowers are not covered by this By-Law. Who do I cal l if I wish t o report an inf ract ion or f or addit ional inf o surrounding t he By-Law? Residents are asked to call Municipal Works at (613) 932-5354. A big focus of the implementation will be to educate residents about the By-Law and provide general information on water use. What about wat er used f or t hings l ike st reet cl eaning? The City uses a street flusher and a sweeper to remove things like animal feces and other garbage and debris from the roads. It?s also used for preventative maintenance to keep debris out of catch basins and sewers. The City monitors the amount of water used and only uses the minimum amount required. How wil l t his af f ect t hings l ike spl ash pads and kids pl aying in sprinkl ers? The By-Law is intended to address blatant cases of excessive lawn watering (should they be encountered) as opposed to recreational uses such as children playing in splash pads or sprinklers on a hot day.
The healthiest lawns exist when they are watered deeply at infrequent intervals. Your lawn does not require much water to thrive - about 2-3 centimetres (1 inch) of water per week either by rainfall or by watering for established lawns. Water at the right time of the day. The best time is in the early morning when evaporation is at a minimum and this enables greater penetration of the water into the ground. The City recommends a brief period of lawn watering between 5 am - 10 am on your permitted watering day. Use the right kind of sprinkler. Sprinklers that shoot low to the ground are superior to oscillating/ fan type sprinklers that lose much of their water to evaporation and wind drift before hitting the ground. Trim your grass, don?t shave it. Leave the grass at least 6-8 centimetres (3 inches) long to provide shade for roots.

The coming week is chock-full of opportunities for free movie entertainment in and around Cornwall. Check out the listings below for when and where to take the family. Mart int own: The village will be a busy spot on July 18th when kids and adults gather to watch ?Home.? The movie will start at 9:00 p.m., but get there early to find a good spot to lay your blanket and set up your chairs. Drinks and snacks will be sold on location at 4850 County Road 20 (the community centre).

RIBFEST ...A NEW ROAD TAKEN

my friends have gently chided with remarks that sticky BBQ fingers and art are odd bedfellows. Maybe so. Some artists say: ?I?ll wait and see how it goes and if it works I might participate next year?. In a way I don?t blame them; it?s the safe way to go. However change in the world never happens with that recipe. The Association is carving a trail and hopes that it will meet interested sightseers on the path.. That said, I reflected on the nature of festivals. The purpose of such events is to attract people and share a community event where entertainment, food, music and
socializing are at the center. Ribfest certainly does this. Just think about how the event is initially communicated by a well-designed poster. From the get-go, the visual arts helped bring the audience to the fair. Visual design plays an important part in creating the entire party atmosphere. When the Board of Focus Art decided to promote itself by being present at the largest happening held in Lamoureux Park, it was in fact doing so to promote the artists. The venue is not gallery quality yet it is an opportunity to showcase some of the finest local art to thousands of people.
steering committee and the volunteers is gigantic. They worked so hard to stay within budget, to offer a secure space for the art, to invite partnerships with the community and to be creative and entertaining in their approach at attracting a crowd. I?m amazed at the generosity and goodwill merchants and organizations have for the arts. The sponsorship received is once again a testimony that we are ready to find a home for the arts in Cornwall. As you visit the tent or the activities, please note the different sponsors who have endorsed us.

Cornwall is changing. People want the arts to have their space. At the Focus Art tent there will be activities for all ages; come draw the Dude in the park, observe Mo誰se carve in soap stone, watch me paint with my compressor, or let the kids color the pig and much more. Ribfest is a festival of music, food, fun and now... art. Be sure to visit our tent near the band shell.

T H E B EST POTAT O SA LA D EV ER !
THO M PSO N When I asked my husband Gary, how he would describe this potato salad, he quickly replied,'the best potato salad ever!'. This truly does describe this wonderful light, delicious salad. It is not dragged down with heavy salad dressing. You make a cooked mayonnaise and then add some Miracle Whip along with some whipped cream. The result is a fluffy, light and lightly flavoured dressing, perfect for a potato salad. My
INGREDIENTS: -
1/ 2 cup butter at room temperature 1 cup of water 1/ 4 cup regular white (distilled) vinegar 1/ 2 cup white sugar 4 - 1/ 2 rounded tsp. cornstarch 2 well beaten extra large eggs 1- 1/ 2 tsp. dry mustard 3/ 4 cup Kraft Miracle Whip Salad Dressing 3/ 4 cup whipping cream, whipped stiff 5 to 6 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 3'4" to 1" cubes 6 to 8 eggs, boiled right along with the potatoes (one less pot to clean this way) 1 large red onion, cut into small dice 4 to 6 green onions, sliced 8 - 10 large radishes, sliced then diced 3 ribs of celery, diced 1- 1/ 2 tsp. Kosher salt 1 tsp. ground black pepper
METHOD: -Use a double boiler, or a bowl placed over a pot of boiling water. Combine the butter, water and vinegar and heat this until the butter is melted. Then to this add the white sugar mixed with the cornstarch, dry mustard and the beaten eggs. Cook this, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened. This will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Stit constantly during this time. Set this aside to cool. Once it cooled a bit, I placed the saucepan in the fridge to cool more quickly. -Peel and dice the potatoes, place them in a large pot, (I used my Dutch
good friend Dorothy tasted some salad I brought for my lunch at work to-day and said 'I want that recipe!' I know that you too will just love this recipe. I will never make an ordinary potato salad again! Try this!!!! It is so refreshing to serve at supper with our very hot summer days now!
oven pot) along with the eggs. They will cook perfectly along with the diced potatoes. Once the potatoes are tender, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of very cold water. The cold water will prevent a dark ring from forming around the egg yolks. Change the water around the boiled eggs with more cold water. Drain the potatoes and let them sit in a colander to cool to room temperature. -Prepare the vegetables, and add them to the cooled cooked potato cubes. -Peel the hard boiled eggs and chop them up using a pastry blender or a potato masher. Either utensil works very well to mash the eggs. Add them into your vegetables. -To the cooled cooked homemade mayonnaise, add the Miracle Whip and the whipped cream. This combination makes the best salad dressing you have ever used! Season all with the Kosher salt and ground black pepper. Taste to suit your self, adding more or less salt or pepper as you like. Note: Kosher salt is less salty than regular table or sea salt. We carry the best Kosher salt at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. You will taste the difference! -Gently, stir this dressing into your vegetables. Mix well and keep refrigerated. You can sprinkle on a bit of paprika for garnish if you wish. ENJOY!!!

She is after all a photographer, like me, to name but a few of Ella Rose's many talents in the modeling and promotional world of food and fashion. Her promotional company is called ~Ella Modella~. She is "Original & Unique," just like her Mom!!! I am one, very proud Mother... That's for sure!!!

Hey there to all of you Cornwallites reading the fabulously most positive and informative "REAL" newspaper in the land. (The Cornwall & S.D.& G. land that is.) Well, Well, Well! Mother Nature has certainly been on the ball this week with her Summer weather delighting all of us who love the ~HEAT~ of the ~SUN~. I do hope that you are doing a lot of FUN activities this summer with your family and friends. I certainly have been doing just that!!! I had the pleasure of travelling into Ottawa last Thursday night to spend a few days with my third daughter, Ella Rose and with my youngest son, Marcus. I also had the chance to meet up with a beautiful facebook friend, Mary Rose who turned out to be as special in "Real Life," as she is on facebook. This week marks my 111th column... NOW, THAT'S A BIG WOW!!! Don't you think??? On Friday afternoon (after I had spent a quiet and relaxing morning by myself) Ella Rose messaged me to inform me to be ready to be picked up by a driver for a manicure and pedicure at one of Ottawa's well known salons, ~Crazy Nails~ on Bank Street. I arrived to enjoy being seated in a really cool, red see-through massage chair with two lovely young women getting right down to business on cleaning my old nail polish off. As I sat in the BIG comfortable chair, I had my feet massaged and my nails polished, painted, buffed and dried. After being in this chair for about a half hour, I decided to push on the chair's remote for "the massage." My! My!! My!!! It was wonderfully exhilarating and somewhat intense at times. (It certainly wasn't made for the weak of heart or a weak back.) As I sat in this comfortable chair for such a long period of time, being waited on hand and foot, I took the chance to watch Life Go By...literally. Through the glass window I got to enjoy the flavour of our beautiful capital city of Ottawa. There were all types of different people walking, sauntering, running at times and even strolling by the window of Crazy Nails~ for me to see. It sure was a lot different than seeing the people that live here in Cornwall. Nothing wrong with that, but it was very interesting for me to see all of the different styles of clothing and footwear that Ottawans wear. I love my new hometown of Cornwall...Please don't get me wrong, I am originally from Ottawa, so, you know... It's All Good!!! When we left ~Crazy Nails~, Ella Rose and I decided to go to China Town (in the Somerset Street area) to enjoy some freshly made Pho together. After we finished our scrumptious shrimp rolls we then left to go to Landsdowne to see the HUGE changes that the city had done to this area of Bank Street. There were many low-rise condos with many others being built all around the area. There were many upscale restaurants and even a movie theatre that caters to adults, allowing them to have drinks and food served to them whilst watching a movie. How Cool Is That??? It was a ~HOT~ day and we were rather thirsty, so Ella Rose and I decided to go into ~Jack Astor's~ for a cold and refreshing glass of Italian wine. The atmosphere was ~Electrifying~ with music BLARING and all different sizes of screens everywhere with sports and other shows playing. We then left the downtown area to go back home to watch some shows, and to chit & chat together for hours and hours. We hadn't done this kind of thing in a very, very long time. It was so lovely and heart warming for me to do so. The next day (Sat.) we got to finally sleep in and I was
Soon after that, Marcus, my youngest son, arrived to spend some time with me before he had to go to work. He ended up making me a delicious lunch that we got to enjoy under a HUGE sun-umbrella in the beautifully gardened back yard that was filled with multi-colored flowers, butterflies and lots of birdsong. After a few hours we had to leave to get Marcus to work, (He works in a restaurant that makes and bakes fresh pasta and bread everyday) and I was heading over to my face book friend, Mary Rose's home for a very long awaited visit. Well, I have to say our "Meet & Greet" went really well. Mary and I hit it off wonderfully, just like we were long lost friends. We chitted and chatted for hours and hours and hours enjoying each other's conversation and company in her lovely, little backyard oasis. Mary is a fantastic and very talented artist and she owns two older cats, and three very cute Yorkies. We learned a lot about each other and we basically are the same kind of people. I called us "Kindred Spirits" because that's the way we recognize one another. I was then picked up much later by Ella Rose and Marcus (another surprise) and we headed back to Ella Rose's to spend some more "family time" together. At that moment I felt that I was in Heaven being with two of my youngest children who I rarely get to see. The next morning I arose to another beautiful day, but sadly my visit had come to an end. I had to catch the Greyhound bus back home...back to Cornwall... back to my Johnny... and back to all of my beautiful and wonderful friends and acquaintances that I had left behind. It is always so nice to visit family and friends from afar, but it is also rather nice to get back home, too.

Whenever life gives you opportunities to visit friends or family, it's always a good thing to make those chances turn into life experiences, if possible. Putting off visits can allow years to add up without seeing loved ones, and life is much too short for that. Travel. Visit. Live. Love. Your life is worth it! Tip of t her Week: Here are seven basic rules to help you to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF: 1. You are responsible for creating your own happiness. 2. You know and follow your own values and principles on a daily basis. 3. You are learning and inproving with every new experience. 4. You are capable of overcoming obstacles in your life. 5. Your attitude can permeate all external conditions. 6. You are willing to make short-term sacrifices for long term gratification. 7. Others respect you, and see you as a source of insight and motivation. Until Next Week: May you always have HAPPINESS to keep you Smiling, TRIALS to keep you Strong, SUCCESS to keep you Confident and FAITH to keep you Going.

?Real Change begins with issues that affect us all at home, within our riding. That is why I endorse the Liberal commitment to stopping the Harper government from doing away with door to door mail service in Canada and I endorse the Liberal commitment to protecting rural mail delivery and service.? ?The Canadian Union of Postal Workers and others have launched a campaign to make Canadians aware of the Conservative government plans to cut postal services. We want to work with postal officials to continue to make postal service the best that it can be and help protect local jobs and existing services,? said Ms. Clement. The Liberal commitment to postal service is just one of several steps to restore openness and transparency to government. The Liberal plan will also modernize the way government works by: - implementing measures such as requiring that government data and information is truly accessible - giving Canadians a voice in Ottawa by allowing more independence for Members of Parliament and government watchdog - sending party politics in the Senate; ensuring open and fair elections by moving forward with Electoral Reform strengthening Elections Canada and banning partisan government advertising making evidence-based decisions on programs and policies - providing better and more timely services to Canadians with a more inclusive and engaging policy-making process including an equal number of women and men in a Liberal Cabinet. ?I?ve attended a number of events since becoming the Liberal candidate in this riding and many of these concerns have been raised directly with me. We are listening and we are proposing Real Change for the benefit of all Canadians,?

Cit y of Cornwal l receives $35,000 age-f riendl y communit y pl anning grant Pictured (from left) are Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell, Mayor Leslie O?Shaughnessy, Project Coordinator Carmen Cousineau and Shared Services General Manager Myles Cassidy. The City of Cornwall is pleased to announce that it has received $35,000 as part of the Ontario Government?s Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant Program. This is the maximum provincial grant allowed for medium-sized communities with populations between 20,000 and 99,000 residents. ?This grant will help us to develop a comprehensive action plan to address both the current and future needs of older residents of Cornwall. It will identify specific practical recommendations that will ensure Cornwall remains a safe, affordable, accessible and enjoyable City for everyone,? said Myles Cassidy, General Manager, Shared Services. It is important to note that even though Cornwall?s population has remained fairly stable, the average age continues to rise. In 2006, the median age was 42.7 years which increased to 45.6 years by 2011. This is higher than the provincial average of 40.4 years. ?Since Cornwall has a higher proportion of older adults it is critical that we actively continue to seek opportunities that will allow residents to lead active, safe and meaningful lives in our community,? said Mayor Leslie O?Shaughnessy. ?We will be creating an advisory committee to provide recommendations, guidance and advice on this important initiative.? Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell stated, ?Age-friendly communities promote healthy and active aging. Our residents are supported in maintaining their independence and are provided community supports and services they require to lead a quality life. I am very pleased Cornwall is an age-friendly community - a community that works for seniors, works for everyone.? "Our collective challenge is to ensure our communities grow to meet the evolving needs of every person regardless of their age or ability. This is why age-friendly planning is so important and it?s why we are continuing to work with municipalities, seniors?organizations and other community partners, to help ensure that seniors can participate fully in community life," said Mario Sergio, Minister Responsible for Seniors Affairs. Project Coordinator Carmen Cousineau will be meeting residents, organizations, social groups, businesses and the non-profit sector to gather information and suggestions.
