Politics! It rules the world! But can get oh-so-very dirty. Running for office, whether it'd be in a municipal, provincial or federal election, or even on a much smaller scale such as a board level, can reveal people's ugly side. Oh, can they can get weird when their names are on the ballot! Power is not something everybody handles well. Some heads get inflated rather quick.

El ect ion backst abbing
A true leader has key strengths: they are humble, they are honest, they show integrity, they are good listeners, they have passion and they delegate. They are team players and do everything for the betterment of the project at hand. They build people up, always. They give their team all the tools they need to succeed, they don't set them up for failure. Oppositely, bad leaders tend to have a self serving interest when doing things. They want control over every detail and have no accountability, no transparency. It's their way or the highway, yet they always find somebody else to blame for their mishaps. Aristotle said: ?He who cannot be a good follower cannot be a good leader.? Never, in the history of leadership, was a greater truth divulged.
Being a good follower helps you handle criticism. It also makes you aware that criticism should be done in private and praises, in public. Being a good follower makes you a dependable leader. Being a good follower means you understand the importance of giving glory to the team rather than having the light shine upon yourself. It also means you are not afraid of losing control over certain things; it makes you able to let go of tasks and delegate rather than micro-manage people. Currently, I sit on three boards of directors in various capacities. I also sit on diverse committees. I lead and I am led. I handle both well. And I see both extremes of the leading spectrum. I have good leaders and leaders who are simply incapable of following, therefore, incapable of leading. With federal elections at our doorsteps, we need to keep this in mind when the time comes. Look at the head of each party. Where do they come from? Are they good followers? Can they analyze their actions objectively? Do they get defensive when their shortcomings are pointed out? Do they engage the offense mode when they feel cornered? Do they resort to attacks when they run out of answers to tough questions? Do they change the subject to deflect? I was surprised to see some of the discourse coming form the headquarters of our local campaign offices recently. I couldn't believe how quickly the focus got nasty. Rather than informing me about their platform or their values, politicians quickly point fingers to their opponents, in an effort to show me how inadequate said opponent is. It's not about who is better for the job. It's about who's better at hiding their dirt under the carpet.

Enhancing the lives of those we touch by helping people reach their goals

Int erview and Phot o by Jason Set nyk Cornwall Ontario -- Attention cosplayers and geek culture enthusiasts there is a fantastic event happening this weekend! CoTiCon (Cornwall Tiny Convention) is taking place this Saturday August 22nd at the Cornwall Civic Complex from 10am to 8pm. The event features 45 exhibitors and artists including Ottawa City Garrison 501st Legion from Star Wars. There is also a line up of special guests and panelist covering cosplaying and crafting, gaming, and a masquerade. Another highlight will be a comedic speech from voice actor Geoff Allan ?I hope that local geek culture fans will participate in this fun event and cosplay (costume play) for the occasion? says Annie DeRochie, organizer. ?We will be hosting a masquerade (costume competition) for those who would like to have their costume judged by our guest cosplayers including some cosplay masters. Of special note is our extensive gaming opportunities including a Super Smash Bros tournament, locations to play Magic The Gathering and 3DS meet ups.? This year CoTiCon has partnered with Big Brother & Big Sister and the Cornwall Public Library. Five Quest ions wit h CoTiCon f ounder and cospl ayer Annie DeRochie 1 - What are t he origins of Cot icon? CoTiCon started when I saw an opportunity. I've been attending conventions since 2010, and been loving the concept since even before then. So last year I heard of the Summer Company program, which gives students a grant and
a chance to run and learn about business, and saw that I had a chance and opportunity to run a convention closer to home. I didn't think I could do it at first, being nearly 17 at the time, but I have many friends now that have experience as well as run their own conventions or help staff them that were able to help me out. 2 - How has Cot icon grown / changed in it s second year? Well for this year, growth is probably the best way to describe it. We have Salon B of the Civic Complex full of exhibitors, with nearly 50 who will be attending, as compared to two-fifths of that of last year. We also have another room open this year, one's for gaming (like last year) and the other smaller room is for panels, which we had in the big room last year. We've also got a really awesome masquerade director for the masquerade/ costume contest this year, as well as word of amazing cosplayers who will be showing up and competing, as well as we have a very enthusiastic individual who loves running Smash Bros Tournaments in the gaming room. And, we've managed to spread the word even more, and because the good reputation from last year's event a lot more people are interested in attending. 3 - What got you int o cospl ay and making your own cost umes? I got into cosplaying after simply googling things about my favoruite game, The Legend of Zelda. From there I found pictures of cosplayers, then learnt about conventions and found out that there was one coming up in Montreal. So, younger me got my seamstress mother to assist me in making a costume of a minor Zelda character, and eventually learnt to do things myself, and want to make bigger, more technique driven things. Now I'm interested in making costumes that would include corsets, hoop skirts and require fine detail. So what started as a fun little
hobby as a kid became what I absolutely love doing and am now hoping to use in a career 4 - What is your f avourit e cost ume t o model and why? My favourite costume so far is my most recent, Twinrova from the Legend of Zelda (just so happens to be the same Zelda title as my first costume). It's definitely not the most comfortable that I've made so far, but it was the most fun to make! It involved making a full corset, poofy pants, a fun belt, and a very interesting wig and head piece. Plus, people seem to love it which makes me feel really great about my work. 5 - What has been your f avourit e convent ion t o at t end and why? My favourite convention will probably always be Otakuthon in Montreal. This was my first convention ever, and I really enjoy it. It's also Canada's second largest anime convention, so it has a lot to see and do! Plus, I've met some great friends who I will probably have for life, which is really the best part of conventions!

Sunflowers, that?s what! On a recent trip to visit my family I encountered a delightful contribution by a farmer! They don?t just grow food, you know! On the northern boundary of St Thomas, Ontario (near London) a farmer has planted a few small fields with sunflowers. The fields needed a rest, so these sunflowers are to be enjoyed. You can take photos, pick a small bouquet, study the growth close up, and whatever is left will feed the birds.
CALL 613-935-8101 Ask f or John or Jul ia
What a generous gesture! Wondering if we will ever see fields like that around our area! If any one knows of one email: info@theseeker.ca or call us - 613-935-3763

BAKER Welcome back, to all who are reading the most Positive and Informative "REAL" paper in the Cornwall & the S.D. & G. area this week.
and the joy back in my heart. Now I can get back to telling you about a surprising source, not only for pleasure, but also for healing. We've all heard of ultrasound, where high frequency sounds are
I hope you're enjoying the extreme heat by going to the beach, a pool, or otherwise keeping cool. There's a little secret to keeping cool in my tip of the week further down in my column.
Since my last column, I have turned the big 55. I still feel much younger than my years, as I seem to view the world from the inner child. This is something we all can do, and you sometimes see very elderly people smiling like children over simple things such as a nice view, or a fun sound. Life seems to program us to tune out so much of the common joys around us. Those who live longest seem to make time and pay attention to all of these little moments. In too much of a hurry to notice a butterfly, or a flock of birds? Slow down. Smell the roses. We only live once, and a lot of things are put here for our pleasure. Some of these things can actually heal us which I will get to a bit later in the column. During the time that the Seeker was on holiday break, I had the opportunity to travel to Marineland, thanks to my daughter Melinda taking me along with her own family. We drove down to Niagara Falls, spent a night there and drove back again. A long trip, but worth it for her kids (and me) to enjoy something unique. A bit of sad news, but with a happy ending, our beloved cat, Marshmellow, passed away just after I wrote my last column three weeks ago. He was only a year and a half old but it turned out that he had uncurable liver cancer. He had a short, yet happy life, with no pain. But my daughter Melinda did something very special. It was she who had given us Marshmellow, and she was able to find another Persian kitten and arranged with John to share the cost. She surprised me by telling me some wild tale as to why we had to go to Renfrew, but it was to pick up my new little kitten, which we named 'Cloud' due to his white and grey colors. Cloud is just twelve weeks old and a delightful little pet. Thank you Melinda and John for doing such a thoughtful thing, and putting the smile back on my face,
used for healing. But the much lower sound frequencies between 20 and 140hz also provide amazing healing power. Benefits include lowering stress, decreasing symptoms of dysponea, (difficulty breathing, or catching the breath) lowering blood pressure, faster healing of bones, a 40% reduction in heart attack risk, and healing of both infection and swelling, and muscle, tendon and ligament injuries. Oh, and these frequencies also cause us to live longer! So where can we find a source for these frequencies that we can have available on a regular basis? Believe it or not, cats purr at these frequencies, and not only when they are happy. They also purr when they are stressed or injured, as a way to facilitate faster relief and healing. All we need to do is spend some time, preferably daily, with a purring cat, and we benefit from the healing effects. There has been a lot of research on this, and it is absolutely true. (Just Google it) So not only do John and I have a new kitten, but the little guy will keep us healthier! Getting back to the last few weeks, I was able to enjoy another fun outing. My eldest son Clyde, came from Ottawa to take John and I to the Biodome in Montreal to walk through different ecosystems and experience life from a much different perspective than at a zoo. I got to walk through a jungle, complete
more, then through several other eco systems. I even got to see penguins, and stick my hand into frigid water to feel a starfish. It took a couple of hours to see everything, and we had a great time, returning to Cornwall to enjoy some local food at Cornwall BBQ before Clyde returned to Ottawa. These (Marineland and the Biodome) were two fabulously fun visits to see nature in a different way than possible on a day to day basis, and I loved every minute of it, but mostly spending time with my children. I also have been enjoying some kayaking fun with John. We find a secluded creek to kayak down, and generally see lots of wildlife. This time of the summer, we get to enjoy a flock of egrets. An egret is like a flamingo, only it is pure white with a wingspan of seven feet. This year, we counted fourteen in the flock that regularly comes to our area. There are also plenty of Great Blue Herons, turtles, beautiful dragonflies, and many other types of birds and waterfowl. John and I photograph as much as we are able to, and these outings usually include a dip into the refreshing waters. I'll pack us a lunch that often includes an alcoholic drink for each of us, but also plenty of water too. (Hey, it may not be the high seas, but it just seems appropriate to drink rum while on the water) We may be out for two hours, or five, depending on how we feel, what nature is presenting to us, and how far along a waterway we decide to venture. Once the equipment is purchased, it is an inexpensive and fun way to laze along a river or creek on a summer day, with the sun on your face, and your toes in the water. Cornwall offers plenty of places to kayak, and there is even a kayak rental facility in nearby Summerstown. Tip of t he Week: TEN WAYS TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT 1. Do one thing at a time. 2. Do it slowly and deliberately. 3. Do less. 4. Put space between things. 5. Spend some time each day doing nothing at all. 6. Don't waste energy worrying about the future. 7. Be present in conversations. 8. Don't just eat, SAVOR your food. 9. Savor your life, each moment. 10. Use boring chores as an opportunity to meditate while doing them. Bonus t ip of t he week: Besides drinking plenty of water, wet your hat. Seriously, if you want to keep cool in the scorching heat, just wear a wet hat. Evaporation of the water will cool your head, and this is where the body transfers heat away from itself. Just remember to keep re-wetting the hat so you can enjoy the cooling effect.

CANADA REVENU E AGENCY SCAM S ON THE RISE There are several scams circulating right now that can make tax payers panic! These have been around for years but have been on the rise as of late according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website.
PHONE SCAM: Someone posing as a CRA agent leaves a message on your answering machine with a number to call back or speaks with you directly. They will tell you that you owe an incredible amount of money (a recent call was $90,000) and that you have to pay it immediately or the RCMP is coming to arrest you, or they threaten to garnish your wages, or take you to court and sue you. If you get a call of this nature and speak to a person, tell them that you are hanging up
immediately and calling the official CRA Number for verification. If they leave a message on your answering machine, DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER given. Instead, call the official CRA helpline at 1-800-959-8281, report it and ask them to confirmthat you do NOT owe $90,000!
EMAIL SCAM: It?s a very simple email that states that CRA has determined that you have a refund waiting for you but you have to register and log in to get it. First of all, if CRA really did have a refund, they have your address and in most cases, your banking information and would simply deposit it into your bank account or mail you a cheque. DO NOT click on any links provided.
The process for registering for a CRA account is done online on the CRA website and it takes about 7-10 business days to process as they send you a password in the mail that you must use to verify your account. CRA does NOT email individuals except to let them know that they have mail in their online account. No personal information is ever exchanged in emails from CRA. Remember ?Knowledge is Power!? so protect yourself and your information by never falling victim to the sharks out there!

The title of my column sounds a bit funny, but it's true. Last Saturday, I had the day off - That is a real treat as I work every Saturday. So, I wanted to do some yardsales. My first yardsale, I hit paydirt when I found about a dozen cookbooks, being given away for free to a good home...my home that is. One of the books was written by Pasquale Carpino, who
PAGLIA e FIENO
(Whit e and Green Past a wit h Cream Sauce)
Not e: The Italian name means "straw and hay" because of the way the white and green pastas are intertwined and tossed up together. You can use any type of thin pasta. INGREDIENTS:
"OU R SU PPER A YARDSALE"
had a lovely Italian cooking show on TV many years ago. He was a favourite of mine and my husband Gary. He would sing beautiful opera songs as he cooked. In this (free) cookbook, Gary found a recipe for "Paglia e Fieno", (this is White and Green Pasta with Cream Sauce). This is similar to Fettucine al Fredo which we love. So I made this for our supper. I had some lovely homemade buns to go along with it. Here is Pasquale's recipe for you to enjoy. METHOD: -In a large deep frying pan, heat the butter and cook the sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped garlic for about 5 minutes. -In a bowl: mix together the heavy cream, eeg yolks, Parmesan cheese and seasonings, and set this aside for now. -Cook the pasta and drain. Reserve a bit of the cooking water in case you need to thin out the sauce a bit.
2 tbsp. butter 1 garlic clove, chopped (I used 3)
-Add the cooked and well drained pasta to the frying pan with the mushrooms and garlic. Toss to mix well.
1/ 2 of an 8oz. pkg. sliced cremini mushrooms 6 oz. heavy cream (next time I will use 8 oz.) 1 egg beaten or 2 egg yolks beaten 4 oz. good quality grated Parmesan (try Sharyn's Pantry Parmesan, it is not salty) a pinch of ground nutmeg
-To this, add the cream mixture and toss until the sauce begins to thicken. -Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan cheese. ENJOY!
1/ 4 tsp. rubbed basil 1/ 2 tsp. salt

TRO TTIER/TRO TZIER DON'T BE A LITTER BOAT! An eco-conscious friend of mine, Lee, had a hospital in Key West, Florida, where she treated injured marine life. This one incident which she related to me concerning a baby dolphin made me become an avid guardian of the oceans and fresh water systems and do all I can to stop people from littering = throwing thrash into the water! Thus started a Florida State endorsed program to include on the back of every vessel decal this important message: DON'T BE A LITTER BOAT! Every year, for over 10 years, this wise declaration was seen by every vessel owner as they purchased their annual decals. THE TRAGIC INCIDENT - as related by Lee - WHICH LED ME AND A GROUP OF LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE TO ALERT "HUMANS" TO NEVER USE THE WATERS OF EARTH AS THEIR TRASH CANS HAPPENED, AS FOLLOWS:
what they swallow. Consequently, the plastic bag, be it biodegradable is immaterial since it takes time for it to biodegrade, had remained stuck inside the young dolphin's stomach.
Because of this horrible habit by humans of throwing off litter in the oceans and fresh water areas, this healthy, playfull dolphin died from starvation. It isn't only plastic bags that is causing massive cases of starvation and early deaths of our marine friends, but other human litter such as food wrappers, fancy colorful boxes, combs, balloons, clothes, cigarette butts, cigarette packages, shiny aluminum soft drink can, beer cans, heroin needles, firecrackers, leftover junk foods and on and on ....! Vessel owners and their guests should be respectful of the Marine Life which has Every Divine Right To Exist in clean, healthy waters. Humans men, women, teenagers, children - have an obligation to keep the waters of the world clean of all kinds of litter! In memory of this beautiful young Dolphin and our many other Water Friends who have been killed by humans' careless habits, I dedicate this article and the message: DON'T BE A LITTER BOAT! Thank you for caring and politely reprimanding anyone littering be it anywhere in the waters of Canada or the World!
This young, playful dolphin was vibrant with the will to live and the desire to be friends with the people - BUT IT WOULD NOT EAT. As much as Lee tried to entice it to do so, the baby dolphin would not take anything. This lasted for nearly five days. On the fifth day she noticed it becoming very weak and suddenly it had stopped moving. Such a tragic death caused Lee to perform an autopsy. She discovered why this joyful, wonderful healthy dolphin would not eat .... it could not swallow any food. Inside the baby dolphin's stomach was a plastic bag that some human had carelessly tossed off into the water. Since dolphins eat jelly fish and plastic bags can resemble them as they balloon out in the water, it had mistaken a human's discarded trash for food. Dolphins, like many marine animals cannot throw up or throw out

- empty a double closet and customize it to suit your sewing needs;
M O RRELL SEWING/ ARTS & CRAFTS ROOM Part 1 of 2 SEWING ROOM If you have a room just for sewing, be sure to leave a space for all of your tasks like ironing and cutting. Shared Space In A Room Serving Another Function - You can use a guest room, office, or bedroom; however, you must get creative with storage space.
- add to an area shelves, drawers, a counter, hooks and baskets. When the space is not in use, close the doors or use a curtain to cover the space.
Portable Space - Use decorative storage incorporating as much style as possible to match your decor. - Use storage device on casters you can position where you need it. - Store your sewing machine in a small carry on piece of luggage with wheels to carry it around the house. - Choose a place where you will have access to all of your items. The most frequently used items should be at arms reach to minimize getting out of your chair to retrieve something. - Choose a place as close as possible to a source of natural light. If not, choose halogens bulbs which are the closest thing to natural light.
Decor - To make your room brighter, choose lighter colors to easily see stitches and beads.
- For additional storage, keep fabrics, under a bed, in clear plastic containers with wheels.
- Make your space as comfortable as possible t aking int o considerat ion how t al l you are. Check out several heights for sitting and standing if doing pressing or cutting.
- Place the sewing machine under or inside a piece of furniture looking like a table when the machine is put away.
- Carpet ing in t he sewing area is not recommended; hardwood, linoleum or tiles are the best to save time on cleanup.
St orage ideas for a cutting board and other sewing items: - under the bed;
- Use a chair on castors for easy movement; a chair doesn't work as well on carpet, even wit h a vinyl mat .
- behind a dresser or headboard;

Spirits were high in the Park, with the loyal followers of Seaway Winds. This group got started in 2001, and are now playing their fifteenth season. Barb Hunter is the entertaining conductor. People on every bench, with umbrellas for sun or rain, whatever Mother Nature decides. We are not quitters; we will stay, whatever the weather. Orchestra members proved their mettle by carrying on despite the heat in the bandshell! Like a toaster oven, I think. We think of the orchestra as local, belonging to Cornwall, but have to recognize that the musicians are dedicated folks from all over, even travelling from Vaudreuil, Canton, Alexandria, Maxville, Ingleside, Ottawa, Winchester and more. (I have to admit, I get so comfortable listening to the music that I often forget to take notes.) Little tidbits of musical trivia are shared throughout the concert, like: did you know that some marches have an extra note, called a ?stinger?. The Marine March, entitled Semper Fideles, does NOT have a stinger, and Marines would be most offended if a musician were to add one! We enjoyed Semper Fideles, (played properly, of course), followed by the Australian Waltzing Matilda. We hummed or sang along, but have to admit some of us hummed when we ran out of
lyrics. Farewell to Nova Scotia touched some hearts, and so did a Cajun folk song from Louisiana called ?La belle et le capitaine? ( the pretty girl and the captain). A Dixieland flavour was next with Dinah, Tin Roof Blues, and High Society. Lots of swaying going on! More trivia: a tuba straightened out would be 25 feet long. Who Knew?
Switch to 1950?s, a wonderful rendition of Elvis?s Suspicious Minds, and Lonesome Street. For a Spanish March, Emporito Roca, volunteers from the audience were invited to be auxiliary percussion members and did a fine job. Most were a bit reluctant to hand back their instruments at the end of the Bandshell Boogie from the Dave Clark era. We also enjoyed some Swing tunes like Puttin? on The Ritz, It Don?t Mean Thing If It Ain?t Got That Swing, and Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Bugle Boy From Company B. Next treat, a medley from ?Wicked?, Looney tunes favourites, conducted by percussionist Gilles Lepage ( that night he was barefoot in the Park), the 1950?s theme march for

the Mickey Mouse Club, some pieces from Cold Play. (Clocks, Lost, Viva la Vita ) The finale was a delightful Instant Concert: 30 snippets of songs played in 3 minutes. I really wanted a replay button, so I could hear again the ones that were familiar, but escaped me. Sort of like Name That Tune, from the good old days. I didn?t get to hear my old favourite, The Baby Elephant Walk, so will have to see the next Seaway Winds concert on October 17 at Aultsville Hall and again at the Christmas concert at St Peter?s Church . This orchestra is like the ?comfort food? of the music world!

THIS IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS with the candidates running in the October 19th Federal Election. The purpose of these interviews is to introduce you to the candidates and help you make an informed choice of who to elect as our Member of Parliament.
2 - W h at i s t h e m ost i m por t an t Feder al i ssu e af f ect i n g peopl e h er e i n t h e r i di n g of SDSG? How w i l l you r par t y addr ess t h i s i ssu e? About NDP Ca ndidate Patr ick Bur ger : He is a teacher and w or ked as a pr ofessor of English Liter atur e at John Abbott College for the past 18 year s. ?I believe that education is key to building a str onger Canada and ensur ing success for futur e gener ations?. He is also the pr oud ow ner of a sm all far m in Lunenbur g. ?I under stand the im por tance of agr icultur e to our r egion and am com m itted to investing in r ur al econom ies. W ith the NDP, I w ant to help fam ily far m s pr osper and r em ain viable for futur e gener ations?. Patr ick and his w ife Am anda have been happily m ar r ied since 1998. They have thr ee r escue hor ses and a cat nam ed Bar ney.
FIVE QU ESTIONS WITH NDP CANDIDATE PATRICK BU RGER 1 - W h at m ak es you t h e best ch oi ce f or ou r M em ber of Par l i am en t ? W h at i s you r m ost si gn i f i can t ach i evem en t i n t h i s com m u n i t y? I have a r eputation for integr ity and for know ing my ow n m ind. I am not a yes-m an, but som eone w ho com es to decisions based on my ow n values and r eflections. I r epr esent a par ty w hose goal is to cr eate a Canada w her e no one is left behind, and ther e ar e needs in this r iding that ar e not being addr essed by the cur r ent gover nm ent. M y m ost significant achievem ent is that a gr oup of like-m inded people ? passionate, dedicated and m otivated by a desir e for a fair and just society ? the SDSG NDP Riding Association, has chosen m e as the candidate in this election.
Ther e ar e so m any issues, but if I w as to choose one for our r iding w ith an aging population, it w ould have to be the issues affecting senior s. One thir d of our senior s face a steep dr op in their standar d of living w hen they r etir e. Pover ty is on the r ise am ongst senior s, par ticular ly w om en. The NDP w ill r estor e the age of OAS and GIS eligibility to 65. We?ll w or k w ith the pr ovince to expand long-ter m and hom e-car e ser vices, w e?ll r einstate door to door m ail deliver y and intr oduce a national phar m acar e pr ogr am so senior s w on?t have to choose betw een buying food or their m edication. 3 - W hy do you t h i n k Th om as M u l cai r i s t h e best ch oi ce f or Pr i m e M i n i st er ? I have been im pr essed w ith Tom ?s pr incipled leader ship and tr ustw or thy char acter since he quit the QuĂŠbec Liber al cabinet because of the cultur e of cor r uption w ithin the Liber al Par ty. He?s a leader w ho can m ake difficult decisions and w ho has the exper ience needed to r eplace Stephen Har per. As w e have seen over the year s, Tom know s w her e he stands ? and backs it up w ith action. His solid char acter com es fr om his backgr ound: he?s the second oldest of ten kids, and he know s w hat it m eans to w or k har d and live w ithin your m eans. This is the kind of m an w e need as the Pr im e M inister of Canada. 4 - W h at ar e you r t h ou gh t s on St eph an Har per an d Ju st i n Tr u deau ? After ten year s, it?s clear that Stephen Har per ?s
pr ior ities ar e w r ong for Canada. M iddle class fam ilies ar e w or king har der, but can?t get ahead. Incom es ar e dr opping and household debt is r ising. Instead of helping m iddle-class fam ilies m ake ends m eet, he?s giving a tax br eak to the w ealthiest 15% w ith incom e splitting. He?s gutted envir onm ental law s and Feder al assistance to OHIP. Justin Tr udeau hasn?t m et expectations. He has no ser ious plan and is unsur e w hat his pr ior ities ar e. He said he?d stand up to Stephen Har per on key issues ? like Bill C-51 ? but didn?t. He?s not up to the job of defeating Stephen Har per. 5 - How do you f eel t h e Con ser vat i ves h ave h an dl ed t h e econ om y? W h at i s t h e NDP pl an f or t h e econ om y m ov i n g f or w ar d? The Conser vatives have added 120 billion dollar s to the national debt w hile incom e dispar ity continues to gr ow quickly. Too m any Canadians ar e unem ployed and the jobs being cr eated ar e par t-tim e and pr ecar ious. M or e and m or e Canadians ar e str uggling to r etir e w ith secur ity. The NDP w ill cr eate an innovation tax cr edit for businesses that invest in m achiner y and equipm ent. This w ill save m anufactur er s m aking R&D investm ents 40 m illion each year. We w ill cut the sm all business tax r ate fr om 11 to 9 per cent and w e w ill extend the acceler ated capital cost allow ance for m anufactur er s.

Ot t awa Sen at o r s Co d y Ceci an d M at t O'Co n n o r Vi si t Co r n wal l Article and Photos by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario ? It was a sea of red, gold, and black at the parking lot of Canadian Tire in Cornwall Ontario. Thursday August 20th 2015 marked the second annual Ottawa Senators hometown series. Hockey fans got wristbands earlier in the day for the chance to get autographs and photos with Ottawa Senators players Cody Ceci and Matt O?Connor. Fans were all smiles today, bringing their favourite hockey jerseys, hats, and cards to get signed. A few hundred people were in attendance including Skyler (pictured bottom row left). The Ottawa Senators mascot Spartacat was also at the event meeting and greeting and taking photos with fans. This was an event for the whole family. Two mini hockey rinks were put up and kids played hockey. Also two hockey net shooting ranges were also put up and kids practiced their shooting aim. Despite the warning of thunder showers and the gloomy sky, the rain held off for the entirety of the event. Thank you Sens for visiting Cornwall.

It all started with a bright purple poster announcing a Bible Blast to the Past. Twelve youngsters , ages 5 to 12, and a team of dedicated volunteers are meeting for 5 mornings at St Matthew?s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1509 Second St West for bible stories, games, crafts, and fun. This event (hopefully the First Annual Bible Camp) was organized by Church volunteers, led by Faith Mission Outreach to Children. There is a large tent set up right in the Church, they have a Time Machine, a box of hidden prizes awarded for many achievements, and the youngsters bring home a craft item each day. One was a lovely lamp, lined with things from nature and lit by a battery operated candle. Very elegant, and a symbol of that day?s lesson. Apparently, the water play each day was wonderful. Teams having a water fight with wet sponges one time, water balloons the next. ( so welcome on those hot days) If I mentioned the amazing fresh fruit snacks at break time, they would be inundated with adults looking for treats. There is even homework. Participants take home pictures on today?s lesson and colour them for contests the following day. Each picture was given positive comments and encouragement, and 3 winners were allowed to try for a prize. Themes like crazy hair day and silly shirt day ( or was it silly hair and crazy shirt?) have the children arriving so excited to start the fun. I have been so impressed by the adult volunteers and leaders. There was a nominal fee of $5 per child or $10 per family for the week. Hopefully, it will be offered again next year when they will be inviting children and volunteers again. You could make enquiries at 613-938-6683 or pastor@stmatthewscornwall.ca

GONE CYCLING! By Syl vie O?Rourke
It is a w et and dr ear y Satur day evening. I am feeling r estless and claustr ophobic. M y husband suggests an im pr om ptu Outdoor Club event for the follow ing m or ning in spite of the for ecast announcing another cool and r ainy day. At fir st I am not ver y enthusiastic but the m or e I think about it, the m or e I believe that this is just w hat I need. Som etim es w hen you w ait for per fect conditions, you just end up being disappointed. The for ecast is calling for an all-day dr izzle ? not enough to w ar r ant staying indoor s and m issing out on an oppor tunity. So, if anyone is looking for us, tell them w e?ve gone cycling! So her e w e ar e at the Lam our eux Par k bandshell on a gr ayish w indy day to m eet a fr iend and good spor t, I w ill r efer to as ?Sienna Henna.? She is alr eady ther e, eager and w aiting. Today w e ar e r ather am bitious, having decided to cycle a 60 km r ound-tr ip fr om Cor nw all to Lancaster. The pr om ise of ice cr eam at our tur n-ar ound point is enough incentive for Sienna and I. Dr essed in our r ain gear our tr io takes off to cycle on the Water fr ont Tr ail. It?s just us ver sus the w ind. The good thing about this w eather is that
ther e is ver y little tr affic to contend w ith. Fr om the seat of our bicycles w e ar e able to appr eciate sights that w e w ould nor m ally dr ive by m uch too quickly. We cycle past Flanagan?s Point, the site of the Pr ecious Blood Chur ch, w her e as a child I r ecall occasionally attending by boat. The point w as nam ed after John Flanagan, a far m er and canal paym aster, w ho donated the land as a fr ee bur ial site. The view of the St. Law r ence River m akes up for the fact that this section of the bike path abuts the highw ay.
Sum m er stow n but not enough for it to hinder our pr ogr ess. We eventually cr oss the highw ay to take a br eak and r ead a Histor ical plaque at the site w her e a Catholic boar ding house know n as JuvĂŠnat du Sacr ĂŠ Coeur oper ated fr om 1946 to 1990. Pr ior to this, the m ain house built in 1872 w as know n as Fair field house and w as the hom e of a legend nam ed John ?Car iboo? Cam er on w ho m ade his for tune as a gold pr ospector. His stor y is a fascinating one but you w ill just have to look it up your self because our br eak is over and it is tim e for us to continue on our m er r y w ay.

We pedal our bicycles by Dim itr i?s Restaur ant, a popular spot for boater s and patio-lover s alike.

We still have the r etur n tr ip but this tim e the w ind w ill be at our backs and our bellies w ill be full.
