I'll be the first to admit it...

Delegating is hard work.

But when a job is assigned to someone, it is imperative for the success of the project to let the leaders lead. There is nothing more detrimental than having a bunch of backseat drivers contradicting and second guessing every turn the actual driver takes.

Second guessing is a block to the good decision making process. It turns people into indecisive individuals who constantly come back on their decisions. Decisions made and voted on must be stuck to.

Micro-management is oftentimes the demise of organizations. The opposite is also true. You need to find a balance, empowering members or employees, giving them tasks, letting them make decisions and yes, at times, mistakes, but allowing them the chance to learn and grow from such mistakes and fix their booboos. Don't step in if something goes wrong; let them own it.

It's hard! It's hard to let people make mistakes! It's hard when you have the business or organization's best interest at heart to make the conscious decision to allow the possibility of things going wrong. It requires a tremendous leap of faith.

It's hard to admit to yourself that other people can do what you do, as well as you do it, if not better at times. It takes maturity to accept that we are all replaceable -- except for me, of course ;) -- the show must and will go on with or without you.

But it is also liberating! Not only do people shine when they are empowered, but they will likely exceed your expectations. With trust, they truly accomplish wonders. And the stress you had on your shoulders all this time, the stress you actually put on yourself, will eventually dissipate...

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit. -Andrew Carnegie

LTE: TO THE TRADITIONAL VOTER! Dear Edit or, Driving about Cornwall, I am amazed by all the Conservative signs and had me wondering, ?What goes on in the mind of a Conservative voter??.

Do they listen to the news? Do they research at all? My experience when talking to them , most are traditional voters. ?I have always voted Conservative so why would I change now?? While other Canadians are taking their time to make an informed decision, the traditional Conservative voter has made their decision way back when their parents told them to vote Conservative or, when they became of age to vote. They ignore all that the Harper Government has done for them.

Let me list a few!

Fact: The Harper Government has been accused of cheating on the elections EVERY election they have won. 2006 Elections Canada charged 4 of the senior officers for overspending; 2008 Dean DelMastro convicted of 4 counts of fraud and now till serving his sentence in jail; 2011 Voter suppression, Robocalls.

Micheal Sona went to prison. And now?

The Mike Duffy scandal! 31 senates under RCMP investigation. How do we trust them with that record?

Let?s not forget the prorogations to avoid the ?No Confidence Vote in 2010-2011.

This is the party you are voting for?

If you have a car that has had its time and no longer works for you, what do you do? Trade it in? Or let it sit in your driveway to rust away? Now, what do we do when a government is not working for us anymore? Trade it in or put up with it just as you put up with that rusty car sitting in your driveway.

What has Harper done for you and your children? Lifted the Protection Act on our fresh waters and rivers, gagged our Environmental scientist and ordering them to destroy their data on their findings. Oh, did I mention the Canadian Elections Act? Making it harder to vote, will discourage many voters.

Then there is Bill C-51 which takes many of our Citizen's rights away, secretely negoiating the TPP deal during the

elections; a deal, that just might change our currency. Bill C-24, the right to revokeCanadian Citizenship. Balanced budget? Surplus? Why are we in a recession now?

Harper boasts of a surplus. Where did the surplus come from? He closed 9 essential Veteran Affairs Offices, cut the CBC, cuts to National Childcare program. the Canadian Child care Federation, the Childcare Advocacy Association and the CPP. He killed the Canadian Research Institution, the National Assembly of Woman & Law, The Feminist Alliance, the Woman?s Legal Education and Act Inst,,,Woman?s Health Contribution Fund, many Canadian Woman?s Health Networks. And; COURT CHALLENGES PROGRAM FOR EQUALITY was discontinued. Next cut will be to EI once elected back into Parliament.

And that my friends, is what Harper has done for you! Are you going to get rid of that old car that doesn?t work for you, or are you going to trade it in?

Happy Voting!

5 Qu est i o n s wit h CAS of SD&G publ ic rel at ions of f icer Kiml y Thivierge On Saturday October 3rd, the Children's Aid Society launched their yearly "Break the Silence campaign at Lamoureux Park. Despite the chilly weather and the strong winds, the community showed up in numbers to show support to the cause.

I visited the event and asked Ms. Thivierge, who is seen far right, in the photo below with her team of volunteers for the day, the following questions:

The Second Annual KIDS' Expo was held at the Cornwall Civic Complex last weekend. "The everything related to kids 0-18 years event" featured many fun activities for children including sports clubs, dance clubs, arts, day care centres and plenty of exhibitor booths featuring products and services geared towards kids.

Said organizers Ginny Pereira and Mai-Liis Renaud, "This years event was a great success with over a thousand visitors and next year we are looking at an even bigger and better show!"

The Children's Aid Society had many activities set up outside for people to enjoy including a dunk tank, inflatable rides and the "Break The Silence Launch" where participants were able to pop their paper bags to signify breaking the silence against child abuse. This year Paper Bags were popped inside at the KIDS' Expo and outside simultaneously and caused last year's participation record to be broken, as hundreds gathered to let their voices be heard in unison.

BAKER

Hi there to all of you intelligent and bright people reading ~The Seeker~ this week. I would like to discuss a topic usually felt to be taboo for a lot of people. The topic is death, and I lost a friend this week and would like to share a little about this, as we all encounter such situations in our lives from time to time.

The friend had been battling cancer, but succumbed to an infection due to a weakened immune system brought about by chemotherapy. First of all, it got me to realizing that none of us will get out of here alive. We will all breathe our last breath when the time comes. We do have each day though, and each and every one we are given is a gift to be cherished and lived to the fullest. It is also important to know that our loved ones and friends or family make their own choices and hopefully are living the best kind of life they can. We can only account for ourselves though, and sometimes our own choices may impact the length and quality of our lives. We are not really here for long though, and so I have learned to try and live in the present. Saying 'if only I did that' is living in the past, which is gone forever. We can plan for tomorrow, but really we only LIVE Right Now!!!

The choices we make today will affect our future, and in many cases, the length of time and happiness we will enjoy. So tell those you care about that you love them, and don't forget to tell yourself too. On any given day, there is beauty all around us, in nature and in people's hearts. When we get close enough to people to feel their essense, we form a special bond, and when death takes them away, we feel the loss. This is all a part of life though, and it is better to make such bonds for the time that we can, than to keep to ourselves and never discover the magic that lies within other people, whether they are family, or a friend. Life is to be lived and shared with those we choose to be close to, and when death comes around, like the falling leaves of a mighty tree, there is a different kind of beauty, like an empty winter scene, missing something, yet beautiful in its own way. Leaves become new soil, and provide life for new trees. Life doesn't end, it just changes form. I believe that is true with those who have departed this earth too... that they have taken on the form of an angel, or at least of some eternal energy of love, perhaps watching down protectively on those they left behind who will join them once again when their time comes.

Famil y News: It was both John's & my daughter-in-law, Tonya's birthday on September 30th. Last Saturday we got together with Melinda, Mike and their four children at Tonya's & Luke's place in Chesterville to celebrate. It was a glorious, sunny day and we had so much FUN outdoors.... riding bikes, climbing trees, doing cartwheels and playing soccer and throwing around the HUGE Frisbee. We,(Sampson William & I) even went into the cornfield to see the tall stocks and the ears of corn that are already to be harvested. BTW... Have yourselves a very, Merry kind of Thanksgiving weekend with your Family & Friends enjoying the BOUNTY of Autumn. A HUGE Thanks goes out to all of the farmers and their labourers for all of the hard work they did this year to enable us to have our tasty Thanksgiving meals.

Item of the week: This week I am choosing something that I purchased from ~The Agape Centre~ about 4 years ago. I only wear a few times a year and this is the time of year that I do. It is this western-style orange, suede jacket, that I paid ONLY $5.00 for. It was among the Halloween costumes. I thought WOW! There is a lovely little jacket that I would love towear...other than just using it for a Halloween costume. I usually wear it with some leopard prints and some brown tones...This jacket looks so good among the coloured leaves of Autumn.

You have to take the time to LOOK for these kinds of "Unique Items and Bargains" at the many Thrift Stores right here in Cornwall.

There's the ~Salvation Army~ and ~Value Village~ that are all stocked up for all your Seasonal Needs & Wants!!! Go and See if YOU can Find a Bargain or two or three today. The monies that are raised at the Agape~ & at the ~Salvation Army~ goes towards helping those who are less fortunate then ourselves. HaPpY ShoPPinG Everyone.

Tip of t he Week: Here are (11) Healthy Steps To Take Today...or Tomorrow... 1. Zero Hours of Television. 2. One hour of Exercise.

3. Two litres of water. 4. Three cups of green tea. 5. Four short mental breaks. 6. Five small meals.

7. Six a.m. "Wake Up" time. 8.

Seven minutes of Laughter. 9.

Eight hours of Sleep. 10. Nine p.m. end of your day, Off to BED You Must Go. 11. Ten things of Gratitiude. By doing these eleven things each and every day, they will make YOU a much Healthier and Happier person indeed!!! Happy Days Are Here Again!!!

Unt il Next Week: If YOU don't make the time to work on CREATing the LIFE YOU want...YOU are eventually going to be FORCed to SPEND a LOT of time DEALing with a LIFE YOU DON'T WANT!!! So spend the TIME making a LIFE that will Make and Keep YOU ever so HAPPY!!!

My dear friend, Robert (Bob) Boulerice was born on March 19, 1956. He was in the military for 7 years and he worked as a Commissionaire and at Domtar as well. Bob was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for over 28 years and he attended C.C.V.S. for his high school education. Bob was a kind-hearted man who lived his last days with a genuine smile on his face and with joy and generosity in his heart. He could always make you smile or laugh by just being around such a positive and funny man. Bob leaves

behind his second wife, Karen and his four sons, and one daughter... who will all sadly miss him. As with so many others that he befriended over the many years. May you have lots of FUN joking and playing with the angels, whilst awaiting those that you left behind. R.I.P. Bob, I will sorely miss you my friend.

TRO TTIER/TRO TZIER OH! HEALTHY PUMPKINS The nights are getting longer. Large families of Canada Geese are following their Chieftains and migrating to the South ... many to their winter homes in South Florida. Garden plots are nearly all empty of their summer harvests, and are now proudly showing the cool, orange pumpkins whichare serenely waiting to be selected and taken intopeople's homes.

Mothers become busy preparing pumpkin soups and chowders, mashed pumpkin mixed in with potatoes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin breads, pumpkin preserves, pumpkin chutney, dehydrated pumpkin seeds, salsas and so many other recipes.

Many people eating these delightful pumpkin foods fail to realize how nutritionally healthy they are. Pumpkins are rich in beta-carotene which keeps cancer cells at bay; they offer protection against heart disease and asthma; they delay the aging degeneration of the body; due to their high fiber content, they help people to lose weight; they are also excellent for the eyes.

Pumpkins have some of the highest amounts of beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, and zinc found in their seedswhich help to improve the serotonin in one's brain allowing for greater feelings of: I Feel So Good!

For those of us involved in preparing heal t hy skin care product s, we just love pumpkin pulp which we either prepare ourselves by cooking the pulp then processing it into a"mash" or by using the organic "mashed" pumpkin in cans.

This wonderful pumpkin mash is excellent for making a Pumpkin Facial Mask. To prepare: Add 1/ 4 cup of pumpkin mash in your blender,2 tbs organic whole milk yogurt, 1 tsp raw honey. Blend for 1 minute. Pour into a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then on a clean face, massage the mask over your face, your neck, your decollete. Leave on for 7 minutes, then wash off with warm water and pat dry. Apply a facial moisturizer about 15 minutes later.

Wit h t he rest , prepare a Pumpkin Body Scrub. In a bowl pour the remaining pumpkin,add either 3 tablespoons of Himalayan salt crystals or organic raw sugar,2 tsp organic avocado oil (or another oil of your choice),4 tbs organic whole milk yogurt, 2 tsp raw honey. Let sit for 5 minutes, then go in the shower and wet yourself completely; turn off the shower and with your finger tips spread the Pumpkin Body Scrub all over your body. Be gentle, you don't have to scrub although it's called a'scrub'. Turn on the shower and with warm water rinse off. Mmmm! After doing this exfoliating beauty treatment, your skin feels so silky clean and soft to the touch!

OUT AND ABOUT with Carol Grant

Pumpkins are truly great healers for both your internal and external body. As people become more knowledgeable about the healing and beautifying benefits of pumpkins, I sense that peopleare going to be adding these great beauties in their home gardens.

The Pumpkins are ready for us ... they've been waiting a long time!

Comment ary and Phot o by John Lucio - It was good to see Cornwallites at the Civic Complex last Wednesday actively engaging in the political process of their city, asking questions, being passionate about what interests and/ or disturbs them. Caring. Getting fired up and being concerned about the future of the city they live in.

PUMPKIN SWIRL CHEESECAKE

This week I have a pumpkin swirl cheesecake recipe for you to try. My family will still be expecting at least 3 pumpkin pies for dessert at our Thanksgiving meal. Guess who always makes the pies? Happy Thanksgiving!

crumb mixture over the base of the pan and one inch up the sides of the pan.

INGREDIENTS: THE CRUST: - 25 ginger snap cookies - finely crushed to measure about 1- 1/ 2 cups - 1/ 2 cup very finely chopped pecans - 1/ 4 cup of butter, melted THE CHEESECAKE: - 4- 8 oz. pkg of Philadelphia cream cheese (not low fat, use regular) at room temperature and quite soft - 1 cup of white sugar - divided to 3/ 4 cup and 1/ 4 cup - 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract - 4 extra large eggs at room temperature - 1 cup of pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) - 1 tsp. ground cinnamon - 1/ 4 tsp. ground nutmeg - just a pinch of ground cloves

-Using an electric mixer on HIGH, beat the cream cheese with 3/ 4 cup of white sugar and the vanilla until well blended and fluffy.

-Add the eggs, one at a time beating on LOW speed and just until blended.

-Remove 1- 1/ 2 cups of the cheesecake batter and place this in a small bowl. Stir the remaining 1/ 4 cup of sugar, the pumpkin puree and spices into the remaining batter. Taste this, you may want to add a bit more spices here.

-Spoon half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared crust and top this with spoonfuls of the plain reserved cheesecake batter. Repeat layers of plain and pumpkin batter.

Use the flat blade of a knife to swirl in a marbling effect with the batters.

Make it pretty!

-Bake the cheesecake for 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes OR until the centre of the cheesecake is almos set.

(To test this, gently shake the pan, if the cheesecake is done, it will be set except for the middle 2- 1/ 2 inch area in the centre. This part will be soft and jiggly.

(taste the pumpkin and cream cheese filling, you may want to add a bit more spices to your taste.)

METHOD: -Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Use a 9" springform pan. If the pan is a shiny silver, bake the cheesecake at 325 degrees F. If the pan is a dark nonstick pan, lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. -Crush the gingersnaps cookies to fine crumbs and add to them the finely chopped pecans and melted butter. Use your food processor.

-Spray the springform pan with non stick spray and press the

-Run a knife blade or metal spatula around the edge of the springform pan. Allow the cheesecake to cool before removing the rim.

Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

-Store any leftovers in the fridge. This cheesecake will make 16 servings. ENJOY! SHARYNTHOMPSON,

A piece of hist ory capt ured f rom t he Seaway Bridge in support of a great cause Cornwall ON ? The bridge may be down, but two community-minded individuals are keeping the memory alive ? and supporting an important cause at the same time.

More KIDS Expo Pics

Barry Cox, owner of the Trophy Shop, and his friend Brian Leitner, owner of BAM Laserworks, have teamed up and created a unique keepsake out of bolts taken off the Seaway International Bridge. The two have used their trades to design and craft the bolts in a Plexiglas case with an engraved plaque with an image of Cornwall?s iconic landmark.

There are a limited number available, with each piece having its own serial number. These are a labour of love, each made personally by Barry and Brian themselves with materials provided at cost

by Cornwall Glass. Demo Plus has also given the pair access to the scrap piles to pick out the bolts being

used.

Each bolt is being sold for $150 and the proceeds will be donated to Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation. The funds raised will support the purchase of equipment for the new chemotherapy area.

Barry and Brian are also working on a less expensive piece of memorabilia using the bridge washers. They are aiming to sell these for around $25 so that everyone can have a piece of Cornwall?s history.

When Brian and Barry first heard that chemotherapy was coming to Cornwall Community Hospital, they immediately wanted to help.

Barry lost both his brother and sister in-laws to cancer at young ages, and Brian knows first-hand the difficulty associated with driving a family member to Ottawa for treatment. ?I drove my mom back and forth to Ottawa for her

appointments, and it was awful. While I took her to Ottawa, another family member stayed back to care for my father who was also ill. Time off work, the cost of gas and parking ? the logistics are such a challenge,? says Brian. Both agree that having chemotherapy right here at home will make a huge difference in the lives of many families in our community. ?We?ve all lost someone we care about to cancer,? adds Barry.

The limited edition bolts are available at the Trophy Shop or by calling 613-938-6444 You can also visit bamlaserworks.com or cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca for more information.

To date, Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation has raised approximately $300,000 of the $400,000 required to purchase equipment for the chemotherapy area.

Ginny and Mai-Liis wish to thank their Exhibitors, Volunteers and Everyone who came to visit the Second Annual KIDS' Expo last Saturday. They look forward to seeing everyone next year at the Third Annual event. In the meantime if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Ginny at Creation Workshop - 613-935-5584 and Mai-Liis at Invitations and More by Mai-Liis at 613-932-4812.

Once in a Bl ue Moon

By Sylvie O?Rourke

Tonight is a special night because we are going out to paddle in the light of the blue moon, the second full moon this month.

At dusk, members of the Cornwall Outdoor Club and several guests gather at our waterfront meeting spot in Ingleside. Our charismatic leader is already there greeting people and giving directions to newcomers.

There are sixteen of us filling two canoes and a dozen kayaks, a great turn-out, especially given the possibility of a storm later tonight. The wind is indeed strong but our determination is stronger. Once we have all launched, we choose to go against the current, so that our return in the dark will be easier. The waves are rough and we have to paddle hard. It is fun to meet so many new people on a single event.

We discover why a couple of our guests are such strong paddlers.

They are Newfoundlanders

and are used to unpredictable weather conditions. Another guest, accustomed to solo paddling, is quite happy to be meeting people with similar interests.

As our flotilla approaches Farran?s Point Campsite we feel the stares of the campers upon us. I suppose we resemble a parade of sorts. A curious young woman runs towards the edge of the water and yells out: ?Are you a club?? ?Yes,? we shout back, ?we are the Cornwall Outdoor Club.?

By the time we pass the campsite, the sun has started to go down and we are treated to a fiery display, the quiet magic of changing colours.

The sunset?s reflection on the St. Lawrence amplifies the effect and we are awestruck. Some of us gaze trance-like at this gift of nature, immersing ourselves in the

experience while others scramble for their cameras to try to capture the moment. The sun has no sooner set than the moon, a large and perfect glimmering orb, makes its appearance, rising above the trees. In silence, we gather together to watch its ascent. Much too soon it disappears behind the clouds and we are left in the dark. Given the growing accumulations of clouds up above, we are feeling fortunate to have seen it at all.

With our headlights and reflectors lighting the way and the wind at our backs, we have a smooth return journey. The campfires and decorative lights along the shore also help guide us around the point. Despite the lack of lighting we locate our launching site without too much difficulty. I am glad that we took this opportunity to moon gaze on this special night because blue moons really are quite rate, happening approximately every three years.

What better way to celebrate this event than with a group of friends on the St. Lawrence River. We will certainly do this again but we won?t wait for the blue moon to shine. That will take way too much time.
