Dear Seeker Chicks Letter to the Editor:
My lawn mower wouldn’t crank —just wasn’t turning no matter how hard I pulled. Sigh…Goodness gracious, I thought to myself. I felt it was dead, and was tempted to throw it out and buy a new one, thankful it had served us through 10 long years. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to see if it could be repaired. So took it in to Claude’s Small Engines Limited, at 203 11th St. W., Cornwall, for a quote. They called me a couple days later and said it was ready for pick-up. Aghast, I was like Whoa…”I just wanted a quote, man. That way I know if it’s even worth fixing rather than buying a new one,” I said. Very respectfully, he replied that the repair fee was only $15 (and some change), because I had tilted it on the wrong side and oil went into the muffler. Yay! I was jumping with joy. Wow…it’s really great to find a repair shop with integrity. They could’ve, as so many others in the repair industry do, said it took 3 or 4 hours to fix, and that it needed this part or that part—and I wouldn’t know the better. Claude’s Small Engines Limited awesome! Great customer service! Great Rates!
As the crashing of a tree in the Forrest sends resounding sound so does the opinion or acknowledgement of readers opinions . The most recent edition of the Local Seeker sends out resounding impact as well . "The Rapid Prince" which as you know passed into history before our gen could sail on it ; however the photo display from the Cornwall Community Museum piques memories of the people we did grow up among in Cornwall as well as the oral history of the Rapid Prince creates rekindled thoughts . Note the lady having her cigarette lit and the pose on the gangplank by Courtaulds employees ; my grandparents immigrated to Canada from England during the opening of the Plant .They as others also found ways to enjoy Cornwall by opening second sources of business ; in their case a General Store across from East Front Public School . -----The recent Lions Club Awards Dinner and Team Cornwall Breakfast featuring Matt Dunnigan , a record setting Quaterback from Louisiana Tech prior to the Edmonton Eskimos was headline news , not only because of his success in the college ranks but adapting to the CFL , no small feat and then converting that into a succesful as well as knowledgable , informative analyst role on TSN's CFL football broadcast's . For those of us who grew up in Cornwall post 1949 there was lots of interests to keep us rivetted on sports , business and seeing/listening to guest speakers from the world of athletics at Minor Sports dinners . In fact if you were from Montreal "The Big Four " of pre CFL days often used minor pro teams to harbour prospects ; Cornwall and Ottawa Rough Riders were linked for a few seasons . A healthy demise of this minor pro sport happened despite it's long history , even including challenges for the Grey Cup . So , the draw of a Dunnigan here for two well thought out events does seem to be a repetetive effort as every speaker of note brings the same message if in a different way . Also ; as the reason for a Dunnigan making the Trek to podium is to cast encouragement to Cornwall Business and the Minor Sports Community it is also for honest and genuine presentation of the Jaques Richard Trophy . A finger print unlike foot prints associated with the measure of development and greening . The finger print would be considered as the left behind evidence of a major players presence at locally sponsored dinners .rb Ron Bates ps my first Director in Parks & Recreation played for the Sarnia Imperials a football team that lost Five Consectiuve Grey Cups to SK RoughRiders from 1928 -1932 . / he played in the late sixies;a record holder CFLer and NFLer stopped off in Sarnia for a stint during the fifties .
Fur ball turned Puppy Dog—Seeker Chick Mai-Liis was very happy when she picked up her son Kristian’s dog Husk up from the pet groomers. He went in looking like a big fur ball and came out looking like a cute puppy dog thanks to the owners and pet stylists of KonKor Pet Salon, Konnie Malyon (facing left) and Kortney DAlessio (facing right). Husk is no small dog and when they see him coming they know they have their work cut out for them but the girls did an excellent job once again. Thanks so much. Be sure to visit them with your pet at 1558 Pitt St. - 613-936-6545 - for all breed Dog and Cat Grooming.

COFFEE GRINDS
More guest speakers announced for Rock the Vote! Former MPP Jim Brownell and City Councillor Maurice Dupelle have both been added to Cornwall's Rock the Vote 2012. The event takes place Saturday, June 16th at the Church on Sydney (130 Sydney Street) in beautiful downtown Cornwall. The event features live music including Graham Greer, Sean Harley of the Trench Town Oddities, Rodney Rivette, Sara Murphy, and Switchgear. Guest speakers include MPP Jim McDonell and Cornwall Mayor Bob Kilger. The event is for all ages, runs from 1pm to 10pm, and is absolutely free! I would like to thank Rock the Vote's media sponsors: The Local Seeker, Ourhometown.ca, Mix 96.1, and Fox 101.5 FM. Latest Polls show NDP have surged ahead of the Conservatives! For the first time in history the NDP has ranked ahead of the Conservatives and are now the most popular party in Canada. The NDP have 34% support, while the Conservatives are down to 30%. Thomas Mulcair has successfully built upon Jack Layton's legacy. However, the NDP have had a little help from a Conservative government - from Robocalls, to the fighter jet boondoggle, and even the omnibus bill - the Tories continue to stumble and Canadians see this every day.
Conservatives broke election laws, and I'm not talking about Robocalls either! In 2006 the Conservatives and Steven Harper broke election rules on spending. The Conservative Party this past week pleaded guilty to spending more than $18 million over the legal spending limit, and filed a false return to Elections Canada that omitted many expenses. The court gave the Conservatives the maximum fine, an underwhelming punishment of $52,000. In turn, the Conservatives broke election laws, and Harper formed his first government. The Conservatives talk tough on crime, and they want to build more prisons, but they can not even be bothered to follow the rules of our democracy. When political parties break election laws, and only get a slap on the wrist, this undermines the public’s trust, and hurts our democratic institutions. Conservatives and Jim Flaherty out of touch again, this time taking aim at EI recipients! According to Flaherty there is no such thing as a bad job, and people who get laid off should be willing to move to another province, or accept the first minimum wage job they can get outside of their field. NDP critic Peggy Nash disagrees, and she was quoted as saying, "If you are a computer software developer, will you be working at Tim Hortons? If you are an unemployed teacher or nurse, will you be working in the agricultural sector picking fruit?," she asked. "(That) is a colossal waste of skills ... talent and training." Nash is absolutely correct! The Finance Minister's hard line approach to Employment Insurance is punitive and does not help people find work in their respective fields. Flaherty also seems to forget EI is an insurance policy that both employers and workers pay into, and as an insurance program it is there to help people who lost work when it was no fault of their own, and gives them an opportunity to find new meaningful work and get back up on their feet. Flaherty and the Conservatives do not have a strong economic plan, so instead they go after those unfortunate enough to get laid off.
Food insecurity! No wonder the Conservatives did not want the UN in our country; because a United Nations food envoy describes conditions in Canada as "shocking". Over 900,000 households, and over 2.5 million people have food insecurities. There are many poor people in inner-city neighbourhoods, people on social assistance, and people who live in remote Aboriginal communities who are living in extreme and desperate conditions and cannot afford enough healthy food. Issues of poverty and hunger are becoming an international embarrassment for Canada. Canadians should have a right to healthy and affordable food, but unfortunately the Conservative government has declined to allow cabinet ministers to meet the UN envoy. Changes will not happen without education and political will, something the current government has not demonstrated. Tories shut down environment research group over ideological differences! Our Federal government has stopped funding the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, which produces research on how to create sustainable development. Environment Minister Peter Kent said the reason for the closure was because the research could be done elsewhere, but Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird spilled the beans, admitting the Conservatives stopped funding this group because of the content of their research. The Conservatives simply silence anything that does not conform to their agenda and ideology. Cornwall Chosen as Site for Ontario-Wide Tour Warning of Ontario Budget Cutbacks to Health Care! A town hall meeting will be held on Thursday, May 24th at 7:00 pm at the Navy Veterans Club, 30 6th Street East. Speakers include: Dennis Howlett, Canadians for Tax Fairness; Ross Sutherland, M.A., RN and Anne Clark, ONA; Elaine MacDonald, municipal councillor and Natalie Mehra, director, Ontario Health Coalition.

LIVE AUCTION The Silent Auction runs for 2 weeks, and on Thursday May 24th at 6:00pm it
Library programs and services cuts and closures in Canada! The Conservative government of Canada undervalues libraries, and this is disappointing. A multitude of library programs and services across our great nation have undergone recent cuts and closures. Any one of these are cause for concern - collectively they are seriously harming the ability for people to access information, research, and to ensure our published heritage will be preserved. Please review the following, and after you do, you are urged to contact your local MP and MPP outlining your position. To summarize, the cuts include: i) Elimination of the Federal Community Access Program impacting Internet and computer access at public libraries and community agencies ii) Severe cuts to Library and Archives Canada (20% reduction in workforce), including an end to the current ILL service iii) Elimination of the National Archival Development Program, a program that supports local archival activities iv) Closures of government department libraries v) Elimination of two school libraries; in Nova Scotia, and Windsor Essex Catholic District School Board in Ontario. Help rock the vote and contact your Member of Parliament today!

Getting Connected We all have a basic need to feel connected; to be part of something bigger than ourselves. That sense of community, that team spirit and the united feelings are something we can relate to. Recently, I had a few opportunities to get to know new people, re-connect with old friends and acquaintances, and bond over a common goal. I attended the recent Team Cornwall AGM. This ambassadorial group proudly promotes our community and good new stories, and gives us an opportunity to network and share. I was deeply moved by the guest speaker Matt Dunigan. The legendary Hall of Fame CFL quarterback shared his experience about being a football player; being part of a team; his strong love for his wife and family; and his heartbreaking loss in his professional career that catapulted him into a new one. I was also fortunate to spend a few days in Kingston this week, taking part in the St. Lawrence College’s Learning Connections. At first I was going to drive up alone, but an email circulated suggesting we carpool, and I am so glad I responded. It gave me an opportunity to get to know four of my co-workers a little better. In the two-hour drive, we discussed many things. They are dynamic, knowledgeable and kind women. Once arrived, we were entertained by the opening keynote speaker who gave us a riveting presentation.
We broke into various workshops of interest after lunch and it gave us a chance to meet additional co-workers from all departments and campuses. These shared discussions brought up interesting points and suggestions; plus we were able to put a face to the emails we receive. Out-of-town participants had an option to stay in residence - which I did - and as a group we went to dinner at a local eatery. Portion sizes were generous and the food was delicious. Our selections were as varied as our positions, but we found common interests. We shared stories, learned about hobbies and goals, offered tips and overall spent a very pleasant evening. Day two of the conference was another opportunity to attend workshops, and also a chance for me to catch up with my Kingston department. Overall, these conferences and team-building exercises open new doors, facilitate communications and provide connections and opportunities. I am grateful that I was able to attend. These bonding and networking occasions can rejuvenate us and help us feel part of something bigger. I plan to keep in touch with the new contacts I’ve made, and an occasional outing or chat with my friends and acquaintances is in order. It may lead to some gardening tips; some cooking suggestions; new music discoveries; shared sports recaps; some personal development or inter-office communication. Connecting is a vital part of human behaviour. Be it a quick note, a dinner, a coffee, a walk make time. It will benefit you and others in many ways.

Naturally Delicious ... with the Health Nut
Hello everyone! Hope all is well! I think that we can now really believe that the cold winter season is behind us for another year... woohoo!!! Nothing like having the windows open and letting fresh air in the house, I love this time of the year. The warmer weather and longer days also mean that school will be out very shortly, and I need to start getting ready for my spot as a regular vendor at The Seaway Valley Growers Farmers’ Market (The Brick parking lot). I’m very excited about this and hope to see many of you there this summer. It starts Saturday, June 2nd through Thanksgiving week-end, rain or shine, from 7am to noon. It’s going to be great! Just to let you know, my five new gluten-free dessert recipe videos are now up on my website for you to view any time you need inspiration. They are very easy to prepare, step by step instructions. You can check these out at my website, www.thehealthnut.ca. At the bottom left corner you will see the You Tube TV icon, click on it and this will take you to all of my recipe videos…enjoy! I’ve been on quite the health journey lately, I finally decided to go ahead with something that I have been wanting to attempt for a long time: juicing for 10 days. After doing my research and preparing myself mentally and physically, I did it! I absolutely loved the experience! I lost weight, and I now feel younger and rejuvenated.
These are great juicing drink recipes; very healthy for you. They are soooo delicious, you will want a second one for sure. What is neat about doing this is that your body doesn’t have to work so hard to digest the enzymes that are so wanting to nourish your whole body. *It is always best to drink within 30 minutes of making, to get all the amazing benefits.
FREE CPR Training Event on Wednesday, May 24th In celebration of National EMS week we, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, are pleased to partner with SD&G Emergency Management Services for a FREE CPR Training Event on Wednesday, May 24th.
Approximately 45,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada, the majority at home or in public places. In Ontario alone, about 7,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually. For every minute that passes without help, a person’s chance of surviving a cardiac arrest drops by 7% to 10%. Learning CPR is easy and it could mean saving the life of a friend or family member. When defibrillation is applied with CPR in the first few minutes, it can improve a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival up to 75%. You don’t need to be a doctor to help save a life! The more people in our community with these life-saving skills, the more lives may be saved.” The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada sets the Canadian Guidelines for CPR, defibrillation and other aspects of emergency cardiovascular care in Canada. This free CPR Training Clinic is sponsored by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario in partnership with Emergency Management Services of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry. Space is limited so if you are interested please register early.
These are 2 great morning drinks MINTY BERRY GREEN DRINK 2 ripe mangoes, 2 handfuls organic spinach, 1 cup organic strawberries, 2 sprigs organic mint leaves (Farm Boy), ½ organic lemon, 1 cup filtered water. Wash and prepare your ingredients, and add one at a time into your juicer . There you have it! Nature’s milkshake ready for you to enjoy! ORANGE DELIGHT DRINK 2 oranges, 1 banana, 1 handful organic green grapes, 1 cup organic strawberries, 2 handfuls organic spinach, ½ a lemon. Wash and prepare all ingredients. Place in juicer and enjoy! If you have a juicer tucked away in your cupboard (still in the box perhaps), why not dust it off and join myself and Lisa Blanchard (owner of Spirit Tree Yoga Studio) in our 10 Day Juicing Challenge?! This will kick off at 6:30pm on Saturday, June 2nd, with an exclusive health documentary viewing for all participants that have placed their names on the list. The official juicing day starts Monday, June 4th.. Hop on board and live your best life ever!!! We are receiving a great response from this, it will be an awesome life-changing experience for all involved. You can follow my webcam juicing experience if you click on the Facebook icon on the main page of my website.

MORTGAGE MATTERS with Derrick Cracknell
Budgeting Towards Homeownership
Do YOU need YOUR
Transitioning from renter to homeowner is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make throughout your lifetime. It can also be a stressful experience if you don’t plan ahead by building a budget and saving prior to embarking upon homeownership. Budgeting is a core ingredient that helps alleviate the stress associated with money issues that can sometimes arise if you purchase a home without knowing all of the associated costs – including down payment, closing expenses, ongoing maintenance, taxes and utilities. The trouble is, many first-time homeowners fail to carefully think about their finances, plan a budget or set savings aside. In this society of instant gratification, money problems can quickly escalate. The key is to create a realistic budget based on your goals. Track your spending and make your dollars go further by sticking to your budget once it’s in place. Budgeting offers a step-by-step formula for figuring out how to best save your hard-earned money to invest in homeownership. Start by listing your household income, then your household expenses, and review your spending habits. All of this can be done on a pad of paper or on a computer spreadsheet. Keeping receipts for everything that you purchase will enable you to accurately keep track of where your money is going each month so that you can review and make necessary changes to your plan on an ongoing basis. Examine all areas of your life - from entertainment to the type of food you buy, where you buy your food and clothes, and how and where you travel. Also look at your spending personality and make necessary adjustments. Are you a saver, a splurger, a spontaneous shopper or a hoarder? Become smarter with your money and avoid impulse buying. If you find you’re spending a lot of money in one area - such as entertainment for instance - set aside a reasonable amount each month and prepare to stop spending money in this area once your budget has been exhausted.
Budgeting provides you with the opportunity to re-evaluate your needs and wants. Do you really need the magazine subscriptions, the gym membership and all the other things you may spend money on each month? Although everyone needs some “me time” to wind down, could you not get that by taking a walk or reading a good book you borrowed from the library? I f you can set your budget solidly in place before you head out home or mortgage shopping, you will be far more prepared to purchase your first home.

The following are the top three tips to help you prepare for the purchase of your first home:
Save up for big-ticket items. As you accumulate money in your savings account, you will be able to also save for specific purchases to help furnish your home – avoiding the buy now, pay later mentality, which can have a negative impact on your credit when you’re seeking mortgage financing. Surround yourself with a team of professionals. When you’re getting ready to make your first home purchase, enlist the services of a licensed mortgage professional and a real estate agent. These experts are invaluable to you as you set out on the road to homeownership because they help firsttime buyers through the home purchase and financing processes every day. They will be able to answer all of your questions and set your mind at ease. A mortgage professional has access to multiple lenders, and can help you get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know exactly what you can afford to spend on a home before you head out house-hunting; while a real estate agent will be able to match your needs with a house you can afford. Both parties will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get the best bang for your buck. And, best of all, these services are typically free. They will also be able to refer you to other reputable professionals you may need for your home purchase, including a real estate lawyer and home appraiser.

COMFORT IN CONVERSATION WITH V.
Cornwall Chosen as Site for Ontario-Wide Tour Warning of Ontario Budget Cutbacks to Health Care
Live Organically I recently watched a video that talked about living your life “organically”. I’m not talking about organic foods; I’m talking about your everyday life. What it means is simple: “Live your life without enhancements, limitations, unnatural and negative people and situations”. As women, we have the power to choose who and what we let into our life, and it’s important to do so cautiously as we - more often than not - use our hearts over our minds. This can sometimes blind our judgements. I’ve done this many times and I’m willing to bet you have too. Little by little, I’m becoming more aware of who and what I surround myself with, and who I allow in my inner circle. Every day, we are surrounded by unnatural and pessimistic people and situations; this does not mean they are bad people, it just means they have chosen to focus on the negative in their life and not the positive. Unfortunately, we have all done this. The next time this occurs, take a few minutes to realize what is happening and make a choice: focus on the good or the bad. We have the ability to choose every day when we wake up, if today will be positive or negative. Easier said than done, I know! But I choose to live my life positively, with small reminders such as friends and family. With every opportunity that comes my way, I remind myself that life is beautiful and full of potential if I let myself be open and let the good in…. give it a shot! I’m willing to bet you’ll feel fabulous! Take a moment and analyze your day; did you have a smile on your face or a frown? Did you take a minute and enjoy a positive moment, compliment or person? When we pay attention to these little things on a daily basis, we become more appreciative of the great things that we have in our lives. We all have things in our lives that can weigh us down, but remembering to stay positive through it all can have a major effect on the outcome of the situation. Remember, you can't lead a positive life with a negative mind.
Most Ontarians don’t realize that the McGuinty government’s recent “austerity” budget will catapult the health system into another round of cuts and restructuring. With this warning, the Ontario and Cornwall Health Coalitions are launching a 15 city tour across Ontario, including a town hall meeting in Cornwall, to prepare citizens to stand up and protect local access to health care services. “The government’s budget for health care is worse than even the most radical of recommendations. With the harsh new budget, the government is planning another major round of cutbacks and restructuring that will particularly hurt patients who need hospital care, nursing home placements, outpatient clinics and long-term care,” said Elaine MacDonald, chair of the Cornwall Health Coalition. “We are holding a town hall meeting to discuss the government’s plans and what they might mean for our local communities,” MacDonald said. “With the town hall meeting, we will be launching an action plan to protect Cornwall’s health services from further cuts.” “We don’t want to see any more hardship as a result of patients unable to access the care they need,” said Natalie Mehra, director of the Ontario Health Coalition. “We are bringing a new warning about what is coming up, and we are asking residents to join us in the fight-back campaign to protect local access to public health care services.” “There is no question that we can succeed in protecting needed care in our local communities,” Mehra added. “But to do so, we need to be prepared and vigilant.” The coalition hopes that all community members who care about preserving public health care services will join the town hall meeting to hear updates about the budget cuts, give their input, and plan the fight-back campaign. The town hall meeting will be held on Thursday, May 24th at 7:00 pm at the Navy Veterans Club, 30 6th Street East. Speakers include: Dennis Howlett, Canadians for Tax Fairness; Ross Sutherland, M.A., RN and Anne Clark, ONA; Elaine MacDonald, municipal councillor and Natalie Mehra, director, Ontario Health Coalition. For more information please contact Elaine MacDonald 613-938-7763 or Natalie Mehra 416-230-6402 (cell).

Gladstone Kindergarten Students Start Vermicomposting in the Classroom A Kindergarten class at Gladstone Public School has begun setting aside their apple cores, banana peels, and even old stinky socks, so they can feed the worms that live in their classroom. Their ‘classroom vermicomposting’ became a reality because of a school partnership with All Things Food of SD&G, who applied for funding from TD Friends of The Environment to fund the initiative. The project includes a wooden worm hotel that came complete with a starting colony of approximately a ¼ pound of red wiggler worms. The students enjoy feeding the colony every 2 or 3 days with organic waste that they set aside after their healthy snack. There are currently 25 such partnerships across the United Counties. Elementary teacher Ann Symington was hoping to find something handson and engaging for her students that would help teach them how they can make a positive environmental impact. This classroom project was a perfect opportunity for the students to talk about Earth Day, learn more about how to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill sites daily, and find out how they can make a small difference in their own daily lives. The young lady in the left is Rose O’Dair and the young man on the right is Max McIntyre-Labelle
On Friday April 20th, the class invited all parents to come to the school and enjoy a brief presentation on the project. Each student had the opportunity to come to the front of the class, and with the help of illustrations on the SMART Board, explain more about the project. The students taught their parents about composting, showed them what they were feeding the worms, and talked about the many uses for the end product; compost.

ART SEEKERS by Sandra Taylor Hedges
SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS You don’t have to be Crazy to be an Artist, but it helps!
Guess what this is??
Whether you are an artist yourself, or just happen to hang out with them, you know that we are a wonderful crazy bunch. We don’t exactly fit the normal prototype (whatever that is!) We do however stand out just a little from the crowd, and that is strongly due to the fact that we refuse to grow up. From time to time we do grow up for a while, but that is usually way too stressful for us to handle for prolonged periods of time. When I say “grow up”, what I really mean is to conform to the acceptable behavior that goes along with our age in years. We will play the Grown Up for a short time; behave like a mature adult, be responsible, dress age appropriate, pay our bills when we are supposed to and even work at a ‘real’ job and show up on time. The problem is that the muses are calling to us to come back to Wonderland, and it is a siren call that is hard to resist for very long.
I like to compare the world an artist lives in to Alice in Wonderland, not because we are Alice but because we would fit quite nicely into that world. I have often mused that a true ‘left brain’ person walking into a room full of artists having a party would be very much like walking into a room full of characters from Alice in Wonderland. There would be Mad Hatters, dressed funny and spilling things; Rabbits worrying about getting places on time but never doing so; Caterpillars smoking strange things and asking profound questions; a smattering of Queens fighting across the room and shouting “off with their heads!”, and amongst all this din there would be a Door Mouse or two sleeping peacefully in a corner.

An annual flooding of bold imaginations, the Student Show is coming to the Cornwall Regional Art Gallery from May 19 to June 13.
So the question is: why are we like this? The short answer (as I am sure there is a long one) is that we are wired to live in our ‘right brain’. It is both our strength and our weakness. We want to be sensible and do the things we are supposed to do - the way it is supposed to be done and on time - but we just can’t because it’s boring. An artist just can’t do boring. We live in the side of the brain that is in touch with an abundance of infinite possibilities. The world of imagination is our world, and change is what we feed on. The changes are what stimulate us towards even more possibilities, and when we aren’t stimulated we become ill both physically and mentally. Show me a sick artist and I will show you an artist that is being forced to spend too much time in the ‘real world’. Unfortunately, there is big money to be made trying to change us, cure us, or make us fit into society, but it can’t be done. Just like our friends, the Gay population, there just isn’t a cure for this. It is the way we are wired. If only our society would understand that our beautiful madness is an important part of the human equation, then we could be supported in doing what we do best and we will all move forward as a species.

Zentangle Untangles the Complexities of Art Brenda Shaver Shahin (CZT) is excited to offer Zentangle classes at the Benson Centre on May 30. Classes are filling fast but there is still lots of room. This new art form is a simple method of creating designs from repetitive patterns comprised of deliberative strokes that build upon each other. Paper and pen are the only equipment needed. "Someone who has never called themselves an artist and has as little as 15 minutes can create a beautiful piece of art," says Brenda. Zentangle is not just for beginners, experienced artists are finding it to be a great way to kick start their creativity. Brenda became fascinated with Zentangle when looking for a way to relax and increase her focus while going through some very stressful times. She stumbled on www.zentangle.com and after dabbling with patterns, realized that not only did she enjoy the process, it helped her to concentrate. Brenda travelled to the USA, to obtain teacher certification from the founders Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts and is teaching classes to individuals, groups and corporate teams. The art can be also be done on quilting, wood, pottery. In Zentangle there is no right or wrong, each piece of art is unique. Erasers are not among Zentangle supplies. “Just as in life, we cannot erase our mistakes” says Brenda, “we learn to go forward and build upon them.” Zentangle is fascinating. When creating a Zentangle, you enter a meditative state in which intuitive insights flow freely." Brenda’s goal is to help as many people as possible. "It's like I have been given a gift and I will keep paying it forward." For more info call Brenda at 537 2071 or email bshavershahin@gmail.com
HEADING For HAPPY with Sara Murphy
SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS Letting go of anger and stepping out into the sun “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” Buddha I was thinking about forgiveness the other day, and was wondering why it seems that some people have a much easier time forgiving than others. I believe that forgiveness is a choice we make. It doesn’t just happen overnight. When you forgive someone, you are not condoning what they have said or done. Forgiveness is not a ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ card. I believe that when we forgive, we are giving ourselves a gift. We have chosen mental and emotional freedom over being held captive by our anger. If we can take a negative experience and use it to learn about ourselves and others, how can we not benefit? By forgiving, we release ourselves from the pain and bitterness that comes with having a death grip on hurt. We can refuse to let go constantly re-living the painful words and moments over and over but what enjoyment is there in staying stuck in the past? By remaining a victim, you give all of your power over to the individual who hurt you. Letting go and moving on gives YOU the power and sets you free. Coming to the understanding that being human means making mistakes, allows you to not only forgive others, but also forgive yourself. Some people will dwell heavily on their own mistakes and mentally punish themselves for making past errors in judgment. I have had a much harder time forgiving myself for hurt that I caused, than forgiving someone else who had severely hurt me.
Anger and bitterness eat up so much of our energy, leaving us with little to invest in those who are truly deserving of our love and attention. If you were to sit, stew and bicker for weeks about your boss and the raise you deserved but didn’t get, think of how much of your energy and happiness you would be giving up in that time. All of the energy wasted could have been used instead to show love and kindness to your spouse, children, co-workers and friends. You could have also used some of that time to contemplate or research solutions to improve your current job situation. Holding on to anger is like walking around with a dark cloud hovering above your head. You remain cold and damp, and no one wants to stand next to you. Choosing forgiveness gives you the power to step out from under the cloud and into the sun. This is where your positive energy will radiate, infect others and attract all the goodness you deserve.

her. I will miss our little chats when she leaves us this month and wish her only the very best in her new destination.
MY MAPLE SYRUP BAKED BEANS
The secret to the best baked beans is to use Great Northern Beans. These beans are twice as big as our navy or pea beans. They are more mealy and seem to boil and bake in less time as well. It is the only bean I use for baked beans now. Try them and see the difference! 2 lb. Great Northern Beans (dry) (we sell these at Sharyn's Pantry) 2 large onions, diced 1 cup (or more) pure maple syrup 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup zippy (spicy) BBQ sauce any brand 1 to 2 tsp. dry mustard powder 1/2 cup minimum to 2 cups or more leftover cooked ham, chopped up into bite-sized pieces (you can even use canned flakes of ham if you don't have leftover roasted ham) 4 bacon slices, cooked and cut up ( reserve 2 tsp. of the bacon fat to add into the pot of baked beans ) salt and pepper to taste apple slices to lay on top of the beans as they bake a little maple syrup to drizzle over the apple slices METHOD; -Pick over the package of dry beans. You may find a few field stones the same size as the beans. -Place the dry beans in a sieve and rinse them under cold running water. -Place them in a large pot, covering them at least 5" above the top of the beans with cold water. Allow them to soak overnight (or for 8 hours in a
cool place). -Bring the beans to a boil, skim off any scum which forms as they boil. This will go on for 15 or 20 minutes, keep skimming off the scum and discard it. -Now turn the heat down to a simmer and partially cover the pot. Boil the beans for 3/4 of an hour or until they are completely tender. Beans will not soften once you bake them, they must be tender from the boiling process. When you can press down on a bean and it will squash down, it is tender enough. -Ladle the boiled beans into your bean pot or casserole dish. Buy a bean pot for the best results. I am using my Grandpa's bean pot. On the bottom of it is marked with a grease pencil 25 cents. That's how long a bean pot can last1! Reserve all the bean liquid. -Mix the onions, maple syrup, ketchup, BBQ sauce, dry mustard, ham, bacon fat and bacon slices and add to the beans in the pot. Stir in some salt and pepper and mix all together to combine. -To this, pour in enough reserved bean cooking water to the bean pot. You must have the level of the liquid to cover the top of the bean mixture. -Cover the bean pot with a lid and bake them in a 300 degree F. oven for 5 to 6 hours. -About the last hour or so of baking the beans, lay the apple slices over top of the beans and drizzle them with a little maple syrup. Cover the pot and continue baking the beans. -Check a couple of times during the
baking to see that the beans are covered with enough liquid, You may need to add a little more bean cooking water. -Take the lid off the bean pot durin the last few minutes of baking to allow the apple slices to brown a bit. -Extra baked beans freeze beautifully. I just use zip loc bags to freeze the beans in. ENJOY!
MY MAPLE BAKED BEANS IN A CROCKPOT
I have added some cooked ground beef to the beans with tasty results. This is a good recipe as well. 1 lb. Great Northern Beans (dry) 1 lb. lean ground beef (use Sharyn's Pantry locally raised beef) 2 onion, diced 12 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled to bite-sized pieces 2 tsp. dry mustard powder 3/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tsp. ground black pepper 1- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt about 2/3 cup reserved bean cooking water 2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced thinly a little maple syrup or brown sugar to sprinkle over the apples
METHOD; -Pick over the beans to ensure there are no field stones. Rinse in a sieve under cold water. Place the beans in a large pot and cover them with lots

of cold water. Allow them to soak for about 8 hours in a cool place. -Boil the beans until tender, skimming off any scum which comes to the surface as they boil. -As the beans are boiling, cook the ground beef and onions in a frying pan. -Place the cooked ground beef, onions and bacon right in your crockpot. -Use a slotted spoon and ladle the cooked beans into the crockpot. Keep the bean water, you will be using some of it to add to the beans in the crockpot. -Stir in the dry mustard, maple syrup, ketchup, Kosher salt and pepper. Add about 2/3 cup of the reserved bean cooking water. Stir to combine everything. -Lay the sliced apples over top of the beans. Drizzle them with a little maple syrup. -Place the lid on the crockpot and set the temp on LOW. Add in a bit more bean cooking liquid as necessary during cooking. Try not to lift the lid often, as you lose the temperature in the crockpot. -Cook for 5 to 7 hours. These beans are simply delicious! ENJOY!

JOB TIPS with John
EMPLOYMENT SEEKER The Follow Up A number of people have contacted me over the last little while about whether or not they should follow up with an employer once they have submitted a resume in response to a job advertisement. In short – yes! There are a couple of tips that might help with your follow-up and tell the hiring manager that you are indeed serious about the job. There are also a couple of things you want to watch out for. Most definitely, there is a ‘way’ to follow up.
A lot of job advertisements today state that only those being considered will be contacted for an interview. This is great for those who receive a call, but what about those who don’t? In some cases, it is difficult to get back to every single applicant; especially when the advertisement results in dozens if not hundreds of applicants. Getting back to candidates is something I strive to improve upon. Well-presented and well-thought-out applications do receive a call-back, even if it is to say “thank you – we will consider you for the next opening”. As I have mentioned before; hiring managers can recognize a targeted application and many will try to call the candidate either way. If you are serious about a job and feel that you have submitted a ‘competitive’ application, then you will want to follow up. Again, this will show that you are serious about getting the job, and you may just prompt the hiring manager to take a look at your resume again. If you haven’t been successful, this will afford you the opportunity to ask why you didn’t get the job. If it’s a field you really want to get into, you might want to ask what you are missing, what skill sets you can improve upon or what courses they recommend you take in order to be more successful next time. I know that the ultimate aim of an application is to get a job, but not getting one can turn into a useful learning experience. Spending a few minutes on the phone with someone who regularly hires for that type of position is like speaking to a job coach or consultant for free. Take advantage of the time you get. Give it a little time before following up. You can do this either by phone or by email. I wouldn’t recommend just showing up. The people you want to see might be occupied or attending to other matters and will not be able to give you the time needed to discuss your particular application. Email works fine and most hiring managers will respond to a question about your application. Waiting at least a week before following up is acceptable. If doing so by email, a simple Dear Sir / Madam; followed by a couple of lines stating who you are and that you are curious about the status of your application is fine. I received an email recently that went something along the lines of: “Are you people still hiring? I applied a couple of days ago and I didn’t get a phone call.” Perhaps not the best way to approach a company, as it might come across as a little unprofessional. How you apply for a job and how you follow up is an indication in the mind of the hiring manager as to how you might be as an employee. Always follow up. Think of yourself as a salesperson selling product You! Good salespeople always follow up with prospects once they have submitted a bid or proposal. It shows the potential customer that they want their business. Show you are interested and serious about getting the job. Be sure to allow the company a little time to review your application. Whether or not your application was successful, try to view the entire process as a learning experience. Should you get to speak to the hiring manager, be sure to pick their brains clean! You never know what valuable insight you may get.

“ About The House”
rules are there. Precipitation, primarily in the form of rain is a large part of what the zoning department works to control. They design the streets and the sewers, but also inform us as to how much of the area of our property can be paved, roofed or otherwise covered so as to prevent the rain from hitting the ground and being absorbed into the earth. The more bare earth you have in your city, the more rainwater and meltwater can be absorbed into the ground, thus not being handled by the cities’ waste water system. More paving equals more rainwater being channelled to the storm sewer and not being absorbed by the ground.
Dear Joe, I have a patio at the back of my home made of two-foot patio stones. Do I need a permit if I want to expand on it? I would like to make it larger. Thank you for your help, Scott B., Sent via FaceBook
Scott, Thank you for the great question. It’s not often I am presented a question like this. This can help identify some of the finer points of the city planning rules. Though, a situation like yours is something that many DIYers take for granted. Most would never think to inquire as to the requirements of the city planning department. But I am very glad you asked. The Ontario Building Code regulates how buildings and accessory structures are constructed. A patio by its very nature is not a structure and so is not regulated by the Building Code. Any building or hard landscaping (i.e. retaining walls), over 18 inches qualifies as a structure under the OBC and so must conform to the rules, such as the 32-inch setback from property lines. So that answers part of your question. Now, the zoning department will have more to say about your situation than the building inspector will. When we endeavour to develop our property - as we are entitled to do - we have to keep in mind why the
Aesthetics is another concern. If we were allowed to pave our entire yards, we would in short order end up with a city that looked like downtown New York or some Mad Max, post-apocalyptic wasteland with nary a living plant in sight. So the city planners are also concerned about this issue. That being said, here are the guidelines from the mouth of the city planner: 40% of main street frontage can be paved or hard-landscaped (patio stones, interlocking brick, flagstone, etc.), 60% if you live in a townhouse or row house. Back yards and side yards not facing a main street can be covered up to 100% if you so choose, with the one caveat being this: though you will have no contest from the city planners, you may have a lawsuit on your hands if your completely-paved back yard is graded so that all the rainwater is washing out your neighbours prize-winning rose beds. Well Scott, I hope that answers your question. Best of luck with your patio project, Joe Keep watching here each week for more household tips and renovation advice.

Step Into Motion Dance Company Offers Weekly Dance Classes to Students at Central Public School and East Front Public School Members of the Step Into Motion Dance Company – students from St. Lawrence Secondary School – have been offering after- school dance classes to students in grades 4-6 at Central Public School and East Front Public School for the last few weeks. On Mondays, SLSS students – led by SLSS teacher Gisele Paquette – instruct Central students in a one-hour dance lesson. East Front students have the same opportunity on Thursdays. Participating students only pay $20 for ten classes. The money raised will go towards SLSS, and participating SLSS students will receive community service hours. SLSS students Kristen Murrell, Etharany Sivanathan, and Erica Gilmour have had a lot of fun teaching dance to the younger students. “We do this so that we can put dance into other schools, and give younger students exposure to it,” said Murrell. “We teach different techniques. We’re also working on a dance that will be presented at the Step Into Motion dance festival on May 17 and 18.” “It’s been an awesome experience working with others,” said Gilmour. “This gives students different skills and abilities. We’re creating and working together.” East Front Public School grade 5 student Bianca Saucier said she’s learned a lot in just a few weeks. “You get to learn new dance moves,” she said. “They’re really good teachers. They go around to make sure you’re doing it right.” Grade 4 student Mubarak Iqbal said he and his brothers dance for fun, but he’s learned more moves since joining the after-school class. “I like dancing,” he said. “We’re doing cool tricks that I didn’t know before.”

A weekly look at racing from both sides of the 1000 Islands Although the 2012 racing season is a few weeks old for many - including myself -that have traveled to tracks further away, it was nice to finally see some racing action close to home. With the opening night events at both Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night, and Brockville Speedway on Saturday, it was certainly going to be an exciting weekend. There has been a lot of talk over the off-season about what the car counts would be like, and who was racing where. Both Brockville and Mohawk expected to have a stellar field of quality cars in the Modified and Sportsman divisions, but nobody really knew for sure who would be on hand until opening night.
First up on my weekend agenda was a trip to Mohawk International Raceway. This will be my usual Friday night home for the 2012 season. 27 Modifieds, and roughly the same amount of Sportsman helped fill the pit area on opening night. The off-season rumors were confirmed that Danny O’Brien and Stephane Lafrance will be racing weekly at the track this season, and they were joined on opening night by Luke Whitteker and Billy Dunn, as well as the usual cast of Mohawk Raceway regulars from 2011. The Modified feature was very exciting, as Billy Dunn roared through the field to take the lead. Just when it looked like he had the race won on the final corner of the final lap, he lost power leaving Billings nowhere to go, opening the door for Danny O’Brien to sneak by unscathed for the win. Dunn did get pushed across the line in second as he was hooked together with Billings. Gage Morin was third, Luke Whitteker was fourth and Billings was fifth. The Sportsman division was exciting as well, with Brandon Hagan, Josh VanBrocklin and 2011 champion Dylan Evoy battling for the win. At the finish, it was Hagan topping the field over VanBrocklin, Evoy, Dan Jalbert and Kyle Wilson. Joey Ladouceur won the Pro Stock season opener, with Corey Castell winning the Bandit feature and defending champion Mathieu Robinson claiming the Mod Lite feature. On Saturday night at Brockville, another strong field of cars were on hand. Dale Planck, Lee Gill and Pat O’Brien - all former Brockville Speedway champions returned to battle an already impressive field of cars from 2011, including 10time Brockville champion Danny O’Brien, Stephane Lafrance, Bobby Herrington, Matt Billings and Tim O’Brien for the BOS opener. Just like the previous night, it was Danny O’Brien claiming the opening night win. Dale Planck was second, Bobby Herrington third, Matt Billings fourth and Pat O’Brien rounding out the top five. The Sportsman feature provided the most exciting finish, as rookie Corey Wheeler led every lap except the last one. 2011 Sportsman champion Chris Herbison made his move coming out of turn four on the outside lane to inch past Wheeler by four one-thousandths of a second in one of the closest finishes in Brockville Speedway history. Finishing behind Wheeler in third was Ryan Poole, with Mitch Primeau, and Steve Barber rounding out the top five. Benoit Dubois won the Street Stock feature, Joe McNichols captured the 4 cylinder Rookie class main event, while Paul Billings took home the win in the Vintage Modified division.

SEEKING SPORTS NEWS Legue, Meloche, Barker top my LNAH wish list The LNAH is coming to town next fall, and for local hockey fans, it will be a chance to see some familiar faces on home ice. Imagine watching Cornwall’s own Jeff Legue or former Colt sniper Eric Meloche skating for the hometown team once again. Cornwall has its share of talented players who are currently winding down their careers in pro leagues across the U.S. and overseas. Others are wrapping up their junior careers and are looking for a place to play. Now, they have the option to come home and play professional hockey. The LNAH consists mainly of former QMJHL skaters; however the league will allow Cornwall a certain amount of former OHL or CCHL players. Those specifics will be decided soon. The Windsor Wild will be moving to Cornwall for the 2012-13 season. Mitch Gagne is the director of hockey operations and former Colts owner Al Wagar will coach and be an assistant general manager. Both will have a great influence on bringing high-end talent to the Seaway Valley. While Gagne, Wagar and Co. have their wish list, here are a few players that I believe could be a good fit: Jeff Legue, 30: The Cornwall native just finished his fifth season with the Sheffield Steelers of the Elite Ice Hockey League in the UK. Last season was Legue’s most productive; he scored 34 goals and added 47 assists for 81 points in 54 games. Legue would certainly draw local fans to the Ed Lumley arena. Eric Meloche, 36: Meloche is actually in the LNAH already. He played last season for St. Georges. He had 41 points in 44 games. You’d have to think that Cornwall would make an attempt to acquire Meloche, who would also put a few extra spectators in the stands.
Brennan Barker, 26: After four seasons at the University of Alabama-Huntsville, the Long Sault native suited up for the Tulsa Oilers of the Central Hockey League. The rugged defenceman had 7 points and 122 penalty minutes in 59 games. He’d be a perfect fit in this league. Ian Boots, 25: The former Colts sniper played the last two seasons for SUNY-Oswego after playing for Ohio State University in 2008-09 and 2009-10. He had 13 goals and 15 assists for 28 points in 30 games last season. Jeff Winchester, 30: The former Cornwall Colt was a star defenceman in the Federal Hockey League last season in which he won a championship with New Jersey. The year before, he played pro hockey in the Netherlands. Andrew Schembri, 29: The former Colt suited up for the Deggendorf Fire of the German Premier League last season. He had 25 goals, 39 assists for 64 points in 33 games. The season before, the Mississauga native played in the Netherlands. Jonathan Jasper, 20: The former Cornwall Colts defencemen just finished his overage season with the Peterborough Petes in the Ontario Hockey League. It was Jasper’s third and final season in the OHL. The 6’3” 200-lb. Williamstown native collected 10 assists in 49 games.
At other area tracks, Alan Johnson took the win at Brewerton Speedway on Friday night. Jason Potter captured the main event at Can Am Motorsports Park on Saturday night, Billy Decker was victorious at Fulton Speedway, and Matt Sheppard won at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.
WINDSOR LOSES FINAL: Cornwall will be taking over a pretty good team in the Windsor Wild, which has made it all the way to the league final the last three seasons. Windsor fell in six games to Thetford in the LNAH final this year. Last season, Windsor was playoff champions. Meanwhile, the organization has apparently decided on a team name and it will be revealed at an upcoming press conference.
This coming weekend will be the first full weekend of the year, and it will be a busy one as we celebrate our Victoria Day Weekend with four consecutive nights of racing. On Friday night, I will be back at Mohawk International Raceway; Saturday night will be Brockville Speedway; Sunday night is the opening night at Cornwall Speedway as they host a 100 lap Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified Series event; and Monday the 358 Series travels to the other end of the province to Merrittville Speedway in Thorold, Ontario.
BROWN LEADING THE WAY: All the talk has been about goaltenders in these NHL playoffs, but my choice for the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP) at this point would have to be Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings. The LA captain has done everything for his team: He has 7 goals and 7 assists in the Kings first 11 playoff games. He has three game-winning goals and two shorthanded markers. Oh, and the power forward also leads the team with 51 hits.

CARTER DEAL PAYING OFF: The Los Angeles Kings took a big risk at the trade deadline, acquiring Jeff Carter and his long-term deal from the Columbus Blue Jackets for defenceman Jack Johnson and a 1st round draft pick. Carter is finally paying off for the redhot Kings after scoring a natural hat trick in Game 2 of the Western Conference final. Carter hasn’t been overly productive for LA in the playoffs, but he definitely gives the Kings three good centres along with Mike Richards and Jarret Stoll.

TORTS ACT TIRING: I get that New York Rangers coach John Tortorella doesn’t think (or won’t admit) that his team is tired at the halfway point of the playoffs. But if the Rangers are pushed to a third seven-game series in a row (and assuming they actually get past the Devils) they will be at a disadvantage in the Stanley Cup final, whether Torts wants to admit it or not. Especially if they are matched up with probable Western Conference champs Los Angeles, which is steamrolling through its competition. JAYS FLYING LOW: With their recent slump, the Blue Jays are hovering around the .500 mark. In a 162-game season, there will be plenty of ups and downs, but one thing is for sure, if Toronto is to compete for a playoff berth, they have to be much better against their own division. After being swept in a two-game mini-series vs. Tampa Bay earlier this week, the Jays were an awful 4-10 against AL East rivals. PIPER’S POINT: Henrik Lundqvist may be the Rangers MVP, but he sure is getting a lot of help from his teammates in the playoffs. Rangers defencemen Dan Girardi leads all players with 52 blocked shots through 15 games. Teammate Ryan McDonagh is second with 42. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan leads all forwards with 26.

SPINAL COLUMN with Dr. Paul Poirier
PIPER’S POINT CONTINUED ...
THE LATEST RESEARCH ON CELL PHONE RADIATION Chances are you are one of the 4 billion people who use a cell phone. You may have heard a lot of conficting information about the effects of electromagnetic radiation on your health. One report claims the the radiation is perfectly harmless, while another warns that cell phone use is a one way ticket to brain cancer. I recognize that cell phones are an immensely usefal part of modern life. They may, however, may affect our bodies in ways we do not yet fully understand. I encourage patients to look at the research and learn a few strategies to decrease the risk potential of cell phones. BRAIN CANCER CONNECTION? The recently released results of the interphone study gives new insight into the relationship between cell phone radiation and brain cancer. This 10 year analysis, the most extensive ever of its kind, was conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The study spanned 13 countries, 6,420 cancer and tumor cases and 7,658 healthy control subjects. The interphone researchers found no overall relationship between cell phone use and cancer. However, the top 10% of users (those with 30 minutes or more of daily talk) showed a 40% greater risk of developing glioma, a relatively common and incurable type of brain cancer. These patients consistently reported that they used their cell phones on the side of the head where the tumours we located (Int J Epidemiol 2010;39:675-94).
What is it about electyromagnetic radiation from cell phones that might cause cancer? One investigation suggests that this type of radiation transforms the proteins in brain cells in a way that interferes with normal cell division (Biochem J 2007;405:559-568). Another shows genes as well as cell proteins altered by just one hour of radiation from a cell phone (Proteomics 2006;6:4769-80). FERTLITY CONCERNS Men who carry cell phones in their pants pockets or on a belt clip may be interested in the possible effects on their sperm count and quality. The tissue of the testes is particularly vulnerable to the effects of heat. A scientific article in the journal Fertility and Sterility reports that cell phone exposure decreases sperm count, viability and activity (Fertil Steril 2008;89:124-28). Sperm are also vulnerable to DNA damage from the type of radiation produced by cell phones, potentially resulting in not only decreased fertility but also miscarriage or health complications in offspring (PLoS OnE 2009;4:e6446). HOW TO REDUCE YOUR RISK 1) Reduce your cell phone use and use land lines whenever feasible, and "power off" your cell phone whenever possible. 2) Keep your cell phone away from your body. Use a hands free or speaker phone option to avoid holding the phone against your head. 3) If your cell phone indicates a weak signal, don't use it. It will emit higher levels of electromagnetic rays as it straining to connect with a distant tower.
The Mohawk Race Parts Pro-Stock Series will start off also at Cornwall with the first of 6 events presented throughout Eastern Ontario, Northern New-York and Quebec, on the line a 40-lap feature paying a hefty $750 to the winner. The best Pro-Stock drivers of both provinces along with drivers from Northern New-York will be on hand.
4) Choose a lower radiation cell phone model---radiation can vary by a factor of 8 from model to model. See www.ewg.org/cellphone-radiation for a comparison of radiation levels for over 1000 models.
The Sportsman with 20 laps, Semi-Pro with 15 and a dozen for the Mini-Stock will also be on the racing card. The pit gates will open at 3:30pm with general admission opening at 4:30pm. Time trials for 358-Modifieds are scheduled to start at 6pm. The first heat is scheduled for 7pm sharp.
6) Do not sleep with your phone in your bed or too close to you bed. Ideally, "power off" the phone at night.

THE LOCAL SEEKER (May 18 - pg. 21)
5) Consider some shielding devices available to apply to your cell phone to block radiation.
7) Do not allow children to use cell phones. Their thinner skulls and immature immune systems make them particularly vulnerable to the potential health risks of electro magnetic radiation. Dr. Paul Poirier www.drpaulpoirier.com

JennFit HEALTHY TIP: EAT REGULAR MEALS Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. When you're very hungry, it's also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Healthy snacking between your meals can help curb hunger, as long as you don't eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal. Remember to eat lean organic protein, organic vegetables and good fats like organic coconut and cococnut products, organic avocado and raw organic nuts throughout the day.
