Insurance Fraud? When I upgraded my cell phone back in February, I was offered a replacement warranty. I usually don't fall for these things, but this was a high ticket item, for which I was looking at over $600 to replace if anything happened, so I seriously considered it. "Imagine you get out of the store and you drop your phone and break the screen," the clerk said. "With this insurance, it doesn't matter! You are covered for breaks, water damage, even if it gets stolen! You just give the company a call and they will send you abrand new one. It won't cost you a thing! No hassle to having to send the phone in for repair or anything, you just get a new one!"
For less than $10 a month, that seemed like a good deal! I am on a two year contract so I figured I would take it for the first year, then cancel it as my phone lost its value. But then, the unimaginable happened. I had to replace my phone. I got caught in a whole bunch of rain last week while visiting a theme park in Montreal. My phone got wet. It still works, but my speakers quit functioning. I looked to see if I could fix the thing, but it seemed very complex and time-consuming. Then I remembered: am I not covered for that sort of thing? And sure enough, I was! I called my phone company who
referred me to the insurance people. These guys gave me a link to go to and fill out a replacement form. The form required a whole bunch of things for me to send in, including a photo ID and a proof of purchase of the device. Not quite the "You just give the company a call and they will send you a new one" that I was assured.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
ONLINE M OST CLICKED STORIES
Still, the promise of getting my new phone within 24-48 hours got me through the hassle. Except... After my claim was reviewed, I received an email telling me my device was not available at this time. It didn't ask me if I wanted something else as a replacement, simply asked if I wanted to put my claim in back-order.
- NDP Ral l y4Change Comes t o Cornwal l on Sept ember 25
I wasn't a happy camper. I gave the insurance company another ring to ask how long exactly this "back-order" thing would take. "3 to 7 days," the lady said. Ok, not too bad. I think I can survive that long without a ringtone. When I finally got the email telling me they had restocked my phone, I was ecstatic. I followed the link to complete my request, entered my mailing address, selected the $0 shipping package and clicked next.
- $15,000 For Local ized Chemot herapy In Cornwal l
DON'T M ISS
What filled the screen then was a "Fee Summary" with a form for payment requesting my Visa or Master Card number. The total was a hefty $226 to cover a "replacement service fee". Wait. What? So the insurance, which is supposed to cover my device for anything, for which I have paid a total of $70 over the last months, now wants $200 to send me a device that was supposed to be replaced at no cost? "It won't cost you a thing," he said. Remember?
Na t ur a l So l ut io n s Wo r k
Sure, I should have been more carefull reading the very small print. I tend to take people's words at face value sometimes, but no, I won't order the phone. I'll buy the broken part for $9.95 and fix the darn thing myself after all.
Connie Augi 613-932-8818
Oh, and I'm definitely cancelling the insurance!

BAKER Hi There to ALL of you Cornwall and S.D. & G. area readers this week. I hope that you were able to enjoy the very last of the ~HOT~ SUMMER DAYS this week!!! John and I went for perhaps our last kayaking trip this year, with the water levels being so low. Autumn returns with it's multi-coloured leaves and all of this past Summer's harvest of delicious fruits and vegetables. Tis time to put away ALL of the SUMMER things, and Time to take out the AUTUMN stuff... like sweaters, long sleeved shirts, pants and your closed-in toe shoes and boots. No More Sandals for this year. Well, unless your John, who won't stop wearing his sandals until the first snowfall. Oh, No! That four letter "S" word!!! Hopefully it, the "S" stuff won't be coming our way for a very looong while!!!
TIP OF THE WEEK: As I mentioned, it's that time to take out all of your Autumn clothes, shoes, boots and things from their storage places. You can REFRESH your clothes by hanging them outside to get sanitized by the ~SUN~ and to receive the FRESHNESS from the brisk Autumn winds. If they fall off the clothesline, oh well, it is fall, after all. Or, If you don't have a clothesline, then you can use your dryer to help freshen up your clothing. All you have to do is place a damp towel and a dryer sheet with your already-cleaned clothes that you previously put away in the early Spring. By letting them tumble around for 10 to 15 minutes, it will give your clothing a lovely scent, and puff them up and out for you to wear without that musty or mothball storage smell. We can also freshen ourselves up ... By getting out and about in the fresh Autumn air... It will not only make you happy, but it will make you healthier, too!!! Bring along a friend, neighbour or family member or pet to enjoy the fresh air, the sunshine, and the experience of being in the Great Outdoors. The oxygen will rejuvinate your body and mind, the sun will give you some healthy vitamin D, and the exercise will pump that oxygen throughout your body, and re-awaken your thinking. The side effects? It will reduce Depression, Stress and Anxiety, giving you an overall sense of well-being and happiness. A lot of people here in Cornwall tell me that there isn't much to do on a Friday or Saturday night... Well, A wonderfully talented "LIVE BAND" is returning to ~The Port Theatre~ on Saturday, October 3rd. John and I really enjoyed their live performance last year and I am so happy that they are coming back to entertain us with their LIVE SHOW once again!!! I had the pleasure to talk to Steve Milley (one of the band members) of ~The Mot hership~ a Tribut e band t o Led Zeppl in. I asked him t hree quest ions. Here they are... QUESTION # 1. Steve, "~The Mothership~ rocked Cornwall last year. How excited is the band about coming back to ~The Port~ on October 3rd?" Steve answering, "The band is very excited about coming back to Cornwall. We don't play soft seat venues very often, it is a completely different vibe than playing a club show. The crowd seems more concentrated on
watching and listening to the band than a club show. This type of venue keeps the band on our toes so to speak. Everyone in the room has their eyes and ears on the band's performance." QUESTION # 2. "Iíve experienced my share of tribute acts before, but each of you in ~The Mothership~ seem to actually become the Led Zeppelin members. I mean, youíve got the music down perfectly, but youíve also got the looks, personalities, body movements, and basically the whole vibe of each member. How is that even possible?" Steve, "It was important to us when we put this project together that we do the whole Led Zeppelin Live experience justice. We are really hoping that the audience members can re-live, and if we are lucky, be transported back in time to a 1973 Led Zeppelin concert with the clothes, equipment, and music of Led Zeppelin." QUESTION # 3. If you were to summarize playing at ~The Port~ in Cornwall in one or two sentences, What would you say?" Steve, "I would definitely say it was a joy and privilege for the band to play at ~The Port~. The owners were very kind and professional to work with. The crowd was Loud !! and were true fans of Led Zeppelin. The crowd knew every note and lyric to all the songs, and in some cases were singing louder than the PA. It was a great pleasure for ~Mothership~ to have played ~The Port~ and we have made many new friends in Cornwall from that night. We are looking forward to our show October 3rd!! See you there !!!" John and I, and a lot of other Cornwall FANS, will be singing and dancing along to ~The Mothership~ on October 3rd!!! Doors OPEN at 7:00 p.m., and the show Starts at 8:00. I look forward to this LIVE SHOW and ALL of you there!!! ITEM OF THE WEEK: This week I chose another item that I had received for my 55th birthday this year. I had always wanted this item and my Johnny made it happen for me. I am, after all, an Irish lass, and I felt that to truly be one, I had to possess this item for my very own. It is a Shillalagh. It literally means "Descendants of ? alach." It is also known by many names, including bata in Gaelic - which means, "fighting stick." The original cane gets its name from the Shillelagh Forest in County, Wicklow. This forest was once famous for its' massive stands of fine oaks. Sadly, most of them were cut down and then were exported. When you know how few of these trees remain in Ireland, it is very sad knowing, that many of the famous buildings in Western Europe were built with Irish imported Oak. A "Shillelagh" is a wooden walking stick and club, or cudgel made from a thick, knotty stick with a large knob on top of Blackthorn wood (sloe) or Oak. I bet you didn't know that!!! My shillelagh came from a nearby flea-market, and John had purchased it from a collection of walking sticks/ shilleghs that came from a world traveller who worked for National Geographic. How cool is that??? Now I am off for a walk in the wild woods with my very own Shillelagh. (I secretly hope to meet up with someone or something that may need a good cudgeling. *wink* wink*) UNTIL NEXT WEEK: HAPPINESS Cannot Be Travelled To, Owned, Earned, Worn or Consumed. Happiness is The "Spiritual Experience" of Living Every Minute with Love, Grace and Gratitude. If you've been trying to find or buy happiness, perhaps you've been looking outside of yourself. Maybe you should take a LOOK on the INSIDE!!! Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca & www.photodreams.ca

Th e Wo b b l y Wal k er Wal k er ?Th o n - p ar t o f t h e Al ex an d r i a Ter r y Fo x Ru n took place last Sunday at Alexandria Island Park. The event was created by Leukemia and bone marrow transplant survivor Robert Hardy, for People With Limited Mobility Who Otherwise Might Not Consider a Fundraising Run. 65 year old Robert created the walker?thon after a balance condition forced him into retirement from marathon cycling. When Hardy first turned to competitive cycling to get over his cancer and get on with life, he founded a 120-km Terry Fox Bicycle Challenge in 2001, represented Canada in the 2003 and 2005 World Transplant Games, completed six 354-km Rideau Lakes Cycle Tours and six 120-km Article by: Terry Fox Challenges, missed 2008 and 2009 Mai-Liis Renaud because of hip replacement and came back with a new shorter 50-km Terry Fox Challenge for 2010-2012. Several surgeries and complications in October 2012 resulted in complete loss of balance. Because he has no bal ance he chose t o use a wal ker and so he chose t o race his wal ker. Says Robert, "At 9.05 am on Sunday morning, 20th September I started my 10km speed walk with my walker. 1 hour, 11 minutes and 35 seconds later I was done. It wasn't my best time. It was a good time. At 65 I'm still alive. My best time is 1 hour and 6 minutes. At 1 pm I was joined by the "wobbly walker" racing team, who are a group of mature athletes who, for most part, train with the "Palace Racing Team" " . We completed a distance of 2 km and there were no incidents, apart from one speeding ticket issued to a reckless individual, not to be named. I have been a Terry's Team member since 2001. I became a Terry's Team member because I had leukemia. " Robert is definitely a great motivator and is performing this Friday at 7pm in a Fundraiser for the Glengarry Memorial Hospital at the Priest's Mill in Alexandria in Part icipat ions Music Hal l Theat re Product ion of "Syl l abif icat ion f rom a Sycophant .

TRO TTIER/TRO TZIER CREATING A SERENE WORLD IN BALANCE There is a new,powerful international time based on:
movement taking place at this
We The Peopl e can abol ish al l wars, et hnic cl eansings, human l abor camps and sl avery, incl uding propaganda and f al se, sl anderousaccusat ions. We The Peopl eare ref using t o have t he "gag rul es" imposed upon us who seek t he TRUTHS! The more people read and discover hidden truths, they have become intolerant of distortions of facts, false propaganda/ lies, unnecessary and highly disruptive bloody revolutions, and highly poisonous, toxic wars and the pollution they are causingto OUR PLANET EARTH! Many Individuals, like myself, have been wondering: Why do we have such uncivilized, sadistically-ruled dictators controlling the lives of people? Why all these bloody, painful wars and the slaughtering of innocent babies, teenagers, adults, elderly people occurring? Why are our friends: Nature's Creations -being tortured and killed in these many inhumane cruel worldwide incidents? ... to satisfy the sadistic egos and the hidden agendaof a few ... !?
WE HAVETHE BESTPRICES
Cal l us t oday...
In studying our human past, after the highly advanced pyramid civilizations took place, and then, the worldwide floods which occurred about 10,000 years ago, history began to be written down by a select few and mainlyby apriesthood who kept the art of writing and reading mainly for themselves ... ! Since that period, it is being discovered on a regular basis that there existed such ego-maniacal desires to destroy other nations and the inhabitants. The Romans performed this genocidal act very systematically as they ethnic-cleansed most of the Celtic Druids, the people in Germania now known as Europe, the highly advanced Etruscans; then Genghis Khan's massive slaughters; theethnic cleansing in the Americas; and more recently, the communist ravages of so many countries including Tibet, Cambodia, Central America ... . As painful as it is to read about these uncivilized and even genocidal wars, it hurts as much to read about the intentional gag rules on We The People to not know about our True His/ Herstory.The burningof ancient libraries holding the rarest, irreplaceable documentations of our distant ancestors' wisdoms is absolutely unforgivable! Also unforgivable are the atrocious,legalized killings - by torturing the victimsfirst ...the Seekers of Truth ... our Independent Researchers who were totally dedicated to usher in an informed, humane, sereneworld. Due to the Internet and the present uses of global communications which Nikola Tesla proceeded to provide us with initially, each Individual Seeker of Truth can discover important remnants of the Truth of our Pyramid Civilizations, as well as the discoveries concerning life on Earth after the massive flood nearly 10,000 years ago when the restructuring of Earth life for many began. Discovering the Truth and the Wisdoms expressed by our Most Ancient Wise Women and Wise Men is a Path ... a Way ... to understanding the problems of antagonisms, and to encourage people to begin to prevent all forms of dictatorial controls and wars. I have also concluded that there is one group of humans who can form a nucleus to help guide We The People towards a Serene World in Balance. This special group are the Natural Healers that exist in every nation of the world. These Individuals seek to holistically, ayurvedically, shamanically heal! They are capable of healing sick individuals: mind, body, spirit, soul and the environment. As more and more Individuals worldwide are learning to become Naturall Healers, and their knowingness that each creation is Divine and Unique, the trend is and will be to make each one of us: WE THE PEOPLEself-realize and perfect our Self. This is going to happen ... as it is now developing in many areas of the world and in the higher consciousness of human beings in this new SERENE WORLD IN BALANCE!

WHATA DELICIOU SPIE!
I made this elegant pie a few weeks ago after picking some of our raspberries. To them I added some fresh peaches and blueberries. This is such a lovely combination of fruit to eat either in a fruit salad or in a pie. For a topping, I made a crumble crust similar to the topping on a fruit crisp. Try this pie while we INGREDIENTS: 1 unbaked pie shell - a deep dish 9 or 10" pastry 1 beaten egg white to brush over the bottom and sides of the crust to prevent it from becoming soggy
FOR THE FILLING: 4 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced 1- 1/ 2 cups fresh blueberries 2- 1/ 2 to 3 cups fresh raspberries 3/ 4 cup white sugar 2 very heaping tsp. cornstarch 1/ 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/ 4 tsp. ground nutmeg FOR THE TOPPING:
still have fresh peaches and raspberries. I know you will just love it too! If you wish, you can freeze the baked pie, but I would add some ascorbic acid to the fruit filling to stop the peaches from darkening. I first made this pie for Gary's birthday in 1990. WOW! that's 25 years ago! Have a great week! METHOD: -Beat the egg white and brush this over the bottom and sides of your unbaked pie crust. Let this dry for about 15 minutes. This little trick will keep your bottom crust from getting soggy from the juice in the fruit. -Set your oven to 375 degrees F. You will use the 2nd from the bottom oven rack in your oven. -Peel and slice up the peaches. Add them to the raspberries and blueberries in a bowl. -In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. -If you are going to freeze the baked pie, I would add about 1 tsp. ascorbic acid to the sugar and cornstarch mixture. This will prevent the peaches from darkening as the sit in the freezer. -Stir this into the 3 fruits. Mix well but gently. Pour this into the unbaked pie shell. -Prepare the topping: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and oat flour. Cut in the cold cubes of butter until they look like small peas.
1- 1/ 4 cups oat flour (Or you can use unbleached all-purpose flour, but oat flour is far better to use in a crumble topping, having a sweet, nutty flavour. We carry this at my store, Sharyn's Pantry.)
-Sprinkle this over the fruit in the pie shell. Spread out evenly, right to the pastry crust edges.
1- 1/ 4 cups brown sugar
-Allow the pie to cool a bit before slicing and serving. Serve with ice cream for a real treat! ENJOY!
1/ 2 cup + 3 tbsp. cold butter, cut into small cubes
-Bake the pie for 35 to 45 minutes in a preheated 375 degree F. oven.

Ch am b er t o Ho st Can d i d at es Deb at e, Wed n esd ay, Oct o b er 7 t h ... The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce will host a federal, candidates debate in partnership with TV Cogeco on Wednesday, October 7 in Salon B of the Cornwall Civic Complex beginning at 7:00 p.m. The debate will be televised live, in High Definition, on TV Cogeco?s channel 700. There are a number of issues tied to the upcoming election that impact the Cornwall region. That?s according to Chamber President, Denis Carr. ?We?d like to see more federal support for economic development,? says Carr. ?A recent report in the National Post revealed that over half the government?s $2 billion Municipal Infrastructure Loan Program went to the province of Quebec. We?d like to see a more equitable balance with Ontario getting its
fair share.? Carr also pointed to the new international crossing. ?We are a principal gateway, not only to Cornwall and the Counties, but to Canada itself. The Chamber would like to see both the Federal Bridge Corporation and the Federal government step up with funding to help create an entry to the city that showcases both our region and the country as a whole.? Broader issues for the upcoming election include taking steps to revitalize Canada?s economy which is currently lagging behind other countries. In addition, an abundance of issues surrounding Parliament Hill have brought with them questions of leadership from all three main parties. Then, there is the
matter of Canada?s security in the current climate of terrorism. ?The debate will give people from across Cornwall and the Counties a chance to hear the platforms from each of the candidates to determine where they stand on the issues at hand,? continues Carr. ?On election day, the Chamber urges voters throughout the Cornwall region to get out and vote. A strong turnout sends a clear message that our constituency expects results.? The debate begins with a moderator posing a series of questions to each of the candidates followed by a scrum. The public in attendance will also have an opportunity to ask questions of each of the candidates.

G EISEL IT?S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR! THE ANNUAL JURIED SHOW Members of Focus Art are invited to enter the Annual Juried Show that is held at the Cornwall Public Library from October 3rd to October 28th. The show begins by the jurying of the works on Saturday October 3rd. This will begin at 11 am. It is an open jury.
The open jury is the signature part of the Focus Art process. The artists and general public are invited to sit in while the judge comments on each piece of artwork before deciding if the work is accepted into the show. It is exciting as well as a great opportunity to learn from the critique of your work and that of the others. Pictured here are the artists at a past juried show, listening to critiques. This year, the association is fortunate to welcome Pierre Giroux to jury the art. Pierre is a Cornwall born painter who has exhibited in various galleries across Canada. He studied in the Florence Program in Italy, as well as the Ontario College of Arts & Design in Toronto. He later returned to school and studied animation at Sheridan College. Within two years, love and serendipity lead him to the west coast where he established a following across Canada - and beyond. For the past 15 years, Pierre specialized in painting interior scenes of old homes, where the architecture and play of light bring to life the memories and emotions of the space. His work is in great demand and is available through the well-respected West End Gallery in Victoria and Edmonton. You can enjoy his work by visiting www.pierregirouxart.com
CALL
613-935-3763
Pierre decided to come home to his roots. Since his return, he successfully exhibited at OBO Studio in early summer. He is currently completing a series of historical landscapes of Cornwall. These paintings will grace a number of walking tours being developed for the Downtown and Le Village as well as for the Cornwall waterfront. Interested artists who are not members of Focus Art are welcome to join while dropping off their art at the Library. Membership is a mere $25.00 and funds serve to host other activities during the year. Drop off is in the lobby of the Library: 3 pieces are accepted at $5.00 each. The money is used to finance the prizes in each category. If work is very large see website for details www.focusartonline.org or call Linda at 613-703-9301 Thursday: Oct ober 1st (3pm t o 8pm) Friday: Oct ober 2nd (3pm t o 4:30pm) Sat urday: Oct ober 3rd (9h30am t o 10h30am) f or art ist s f rom out of t own ONLY *All art must be dry and ready to hang otherwise it will be refused. The jury process will go on all day Saturday. Works not accepted (you will receive a call if you are not attending the open jury) must be picked up on Saturday or Sunday. VERNISSAGE: (award ceremony) Public Library, Wednesday, October 7 at 7pm (in lieu of regular meeting). You have the details, now it is up to you to decide to be part of this great event. If you have never done this, I strongly encourage you to do so, and experience the valuable learning only a critique can give you. If you are a regular participant, bring a friend along and share the happening. The best of luck to all. More details and the application forms are on the website: www.focusartonline.org

M O RRELL HOW TO PRIORITIZE WHEN EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT BOTH AT WORK AND AT HOME
In her ow n w or ds, being an entr epr eneur is ?both exciting and ter r ifyingat the sam e tim e?. How ever,it is the path that Sylvie Ler oux-Lanthierhas chosen to follow in opening her Vir tual Assistant business.
Part 1 of 2 Do you have too much on your plate? You tried tackling your tasks by priority but it feels like everything is important. Do not get overwhelmed. It is not impossibl e. During my career as project manager, it was my responsibility to organize and prioritize projects tasks. Use these helpful tricks to help you manage your workload at the office, as well as your ever-growing list of to-dos at home, with your family, or friends. So is everything important? Most people tend to think "important" and "urgent" are synonymous. They are not . Even if everything on your plate is supposed to be equally important, you still need a way to break down which ones you must spend your t ime on f irst . The following tips will help you get a feel for how important - time wise - your projects really are.
?W ith Steps3 Plus I take ?the extr a steps for your business?that m any sm all businessesneed?, explained M s. Ler oux-Lanthier. ?It took m e aw hile to nam e and descr ibew hat I w anted to do, but w hen I found the Canadian Association of Vir tual Assistantsonline, I knew exactly w hat it w ould be.? The desir e to see sm all businessessucceed in her hom etow n and in her countr y, is w hat fuels her. ?Ther e ar e plenty of people w ho offer a w ide var iety of ser vicesand pr oductsto their com m unity,but they str uggle in the bir th year s of their businessbelieving they have to do ever ythingthem selves. For sm all businessesthat is just not possible. Par tner ingw ith a pr ofessional w ho char gesby the m inute is cost effective,and hir ing a vir tual assistant saves on your expensesand fr ees up your tim e to do the things that you love to do. That is pr obably the r eason you becam e an entr epr eneur in the fir st place.?
Sometimes you may receive a call from a co-worker or supervisor informing you of another "URGENT" project. Subsequently, ask your supervisor to identify and decide what other projects' deadline you should ignore to work on this ?new?emergency. Acquiesce that you understand your supervisor is accountable for this decision and you will follow his/ her written directives as soon as it is on your desk as a proof to others that their project has been put on hold by management until further notice to handle an unexpected emergency.
Steps3 Plus pr ovidesadm inistr ative,m ar keting,cr eative and or ganizational ser vices. New businessesneeding the help of a par t-tim eor full tim e em ployee, but w ho cannot affor d that expense,or sim ply do not have the r oom for an em ployee,ar e able to obtain that assistancefr om a r em ote location. W ith the pow er of the inter net today and the ease w ith w hich w e can com m unicate,vir tual assistantsar e becom ingm or e and m or e the nor m . Ever y vir tual assistant is unique based on their par ticular skill set. M s. Ler oux-Lanthierhas 20 year s of exper iencein adm inistr ationand office m anagem ent,pr oduction,adver tising,gr aphic design and w eb cr eation. Ser vices ar e availableon a one-tim ebasis or on a r egular on-goingbasis allow ingbusiness ow ner sto m ake the best use of their financesexactly w hen and for w hat they need.
WORK VERSUS HOME At work, your supervisor's primary responsibilities are to help you understand what your priorities are, and what you should be working on first. However, everywhere el se, you are in charge of your own work.
Businessow ner soften str uggle on cer tain aspectsof their business. Ever yone has specific tasks w her e they ar e not exper iencedand ther efor enot as pr oductive as they should be. As opposed to spendinghour s doing som ethingunpr oductive or less pr oductive,w hy not hir e som eonew ho can do it better and in less tim e, and spend your ow n tim e doing w hat you do best? In m any cases the potential of ear ning m or e pr ofit in those hour s w ill m or e than cover the cost of hir ing a vir tual assistant to do the job. It also r educesyour str ess and fr ustr ation,and som etim esyou cannot put a pr ice on that!
At home, you are your own boss and sometimes you just have to pick something from your to-do list and get started to build some momentum. MOST IMPORTANT in bot h cases, ask around. When prioritizing tasks involving other people like your family, friends, and coworkers: - talk to them;
To discuss your needs or to contact Steps3 Plus, call 613-932-4483. Web: www.steps3plusinc.ca Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Steps3PlusInc?fref=ts
- find out when they need your input/ help on that specific task; - find out how much work get s backed up around t he t hings you wil l be working on with them; and - ask if someone can lend a hand. If they do not need you for another week and someone else needs you tomorrow, or if they are not as busy as you are, you know what to do.
