In 1842, Cornwall's first recorded theatrical performance took place in "Ivy Hall," (the future home of John Sandfield Macdonald.) When members of the local garrison proposed a series of plays to be performed at the Anglican church, some members of the congregation had plays banned, forcing the soldiers to look elsewhere. the They named their company the "Spouting Club" and performed "Charles the Second or the Merry Monarch," "Michief Making," and "Luke the Labourer or the Lost Son," to name a few of their productions. Attendance was by invitation only, leading one officer to comment that the "goodies...could only look on idly and blaspheme." Cornwall's next theatre began in 1882, when the second floor of the town hall opened, providing an auditorium with over 700 seats. Ivy Hall, (above) the site of Cornwall's first recorded theatrical productions. The future home of John Sandfield Macdonald, and the first Hotel Dieu. The 820 seat Palace Theatre, (above) on Pitt Street. Constructed in 1921, it was the first theatre to be built in Cornwall specifically as a movie house. As such, it was advertised as "The House of Comfort."
During the 1950s and 1960s, spending the Saturday afternoon at the local theatre was the thing to do. Nothing brough out the young throngs like the offer of free ice cream, and a chance to win a bicycle at the Elmer the Safety Elephant theatre parties. The sign comes down at the Mustang Drive-In Theatre, on Purcell Road, February 18, 1989. Until the late 1970s, Cornwall and area had two driveins: the Mustant and the Seaway.

The Capitol Theatre auditorium was not only used to screen films but for live concerts, trade shows and other productions. This photograph, dated 1947, is from the Ontario Archives. The Capitol opened in 1928 and could seat over 1,300. It closed for the first time in 1977. It was then purchased by the Save the Capitol Theatre Committee and reopened in 1978. Eighth years later, in 1986, it closed for good. The Roxy Theatre, today's Port, in 1954. The 775 seat Roxy opened in 1941. Architecturally, it was one of Cornwall's few Art Deco buildings. It became the Port in 1966. Photograph courtesy, Ontario Archives.

Planes, Trains, Motorcycles ...and RV trailers in Lancaster
Perhaps the only thing better than enjoying an unplanned (and of course tasty) dinner at Bruyere's restaurant in Cornwall is learning while you eat that you and your husband just won a Canada Day weekend-stay in a fully loaded RV in beautiful Lancaster Outdoor Park. Such was the case for Shirley Wesselson and her husband Paul last Wednesday night, June 27th. The two decided to enter a contest for tickets to Chilliwack at Lancaster Park Canada Day Weekend just moments before the draw during a Mix 96 live broadcast at the Bruyere's new menu launch (with all half-price entrees, to boot).

Paul and Shirley had left their hometown of Ayr, Ontario on June 26th for a 4-day motorbike trip to Shirley and Paul with Ottawa and the their bike that surrounding area and brought the to never thought they would end up extending their trip Cornwall and trading in their bikes for a luxury RV! The couple also took in the band “Chilliwack” in the park as their illustrious prize also included four free concert tickets compliments of the contest sponsors, Fox 101.5. But it wasn't all smooth sailing at first, Shirley said. “Since we were on our motor bikes we did not have linens, towels, dishes etc.but Greg from Fox Radio came to our rescue with all that we needed. It was a great weekend!”

Photographer Jason McNamara Shoots Karl Wolf's CD Cover! The following excerpt is from a press release by Bob Peters on the Choose Cornwall website: In just a few short years, photographer Jason McNamara has made a name for himself in the Cornwall area. The demand for his services may soon skyrocket following the release of Karl Wolf's new CD, Finally Free, which features Jason's photography on the cover and throughout. "I was asked to just shoot the cover but Karl liked the work so much, my photographs ended up being used for the whole album," said Jason. "In all, about 20 photos were used, and a couple of shots are being considered for magazines." Karl Wolf is a Juno-nominated music artist based in Montreal, who after three very popular albums has established himself as one of Canada's leading songwriters, performers and producers. His fourth CD, Finally Free is due out July 10th.

Documentary on Si Miller Arena Takes Home Top Honours! The following excerpt is from a press release by Kevin Lajoie on the Choose Cornwall website: When the demolition crews arrived at the Si Miller Arena last year, Chris Rohde decided to pay tribute to the storied rink in his typical fashion – by telling a story with a video camera. The result is A Tribute to the Si Miller Arena, an 8-minute documentary that examines the facility’s storied history and the important role it played in the community. Created with the help of local sports fan and history buff Thom Racine and the extensive archives from the Cornwall Community Museum, the documentary retraces many of the highlights in the arena’s 70-plus year history, from its construction through community donations in the 1930s, to the championship Royals and Colts teams in later years. The documentary was recently recognized by its peers, as TVCOGECO Cornwall received the Outstanding Short Documentary Award for the Si Miller video during the annual TVCOGECO Star Awards in Burlington, Ontario. You can watch the video by checking out the following link: http://w w w.tvcogeco.com/cornwall/galler y/our-shows/352-the source/47614-si-miller New novel by local author explores life in the Lost Villages! From the City of Cornwall website: Jennifer DeBruin has made a career of helping others articulate success, and now the first-time author is following her own advice with the publishing of her first novel, A Walk with Mary. A Walk with Mary is a story based on the experience of a woman from a generation known for its ability to bravely move forward in life - regardless of the challenges. It is a story inspired by her maternal grandmother's own experiences growing up along the banks of the St. Lawrence River near Cornwall. "As my understanding grew of who I am as a woman, empowered by the generation I was raised in, along with becoming a wife and mother, I began to understand that despite the fact that Mary’s generation did not talk about their feelings, this did not mean they did not exist", says Ms. DeBruin. "Below the surface were deep feelings of love, joy, disappointment, and loss." Ms. DeBruin was able to tap into her passions for genealogy, history, and language arts, and in doing so was able to interweave the story of Mary with the story of the ‘Lost Villages’ - the towns that literally disappeared under the St. Lawrence River during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway in the late 1950s. "It seems incredible that such historic places – settled by United Empire Loyalists in the 1780s – villages and hamlets that so many used to call home, were washed away by

the St. Lawrence Seaway as the price of progress," says Ms. DeBruin. The novel was unveiled at a special event held June 27 at the Lost Villages Museum, and hosted by local history champion and former MPP Jim Brownell - who has graciously offered to host the book launch at their museum. A Walk with Mary is now available at the General Store Publishing House, Chapters, Amazon, and will soon be available at local booksellers in the Cornwall area. An e-book version will also soon be available.
The Environment Check out Transition Cornwall + on Facebook! Transition Cornwall + is a community group created to build resilience and sustainability in Cornwall and the surrounding rural area (the + in our name) in preparation for the combined challenges of peak oil, climate change and global economic instability. We believe that with thoughtful and deliberate planning, the transition to life without cheap fuel will be far gentler, and our community can become an even more fulfilling, socially-connected, sustainable and self-reliant place to live. But we have to act together, and we have to act now. Transition Cornwall + is part of an international Transition movement that began in the United Kingdom in 2005 and has since spread to hundreds of communities around the world. We are one of 42 or more Canadian communities associated with the international Transition Network. Transition Cornwall + aims to inspire everyone in the Cornwall area to work together to increase our community’s capacity to thrive in the face of peak oil, climate change and global economic instability. We intend to: raise awareness about these upcoming challenges; work with people and groups already active with these issues; lead a dynamic community process that unleashes the collective genius of our citizens for imagining and planning for a better future; and create and implement a long-term plan to systematically reduce fossil fuel dependency in the Cornwall area. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Transition-Cornwall/183744314986840

Dear Seeker Chicks Here are some of the pictures from the successful book launch of A Walk with Mary. The Lost Villages Museum was an amazing venue. As you know, the launch/signing was in the Sandtown Advent Christian Church, but Jim Brownell, President of the Lost Villages Historical Society also opened up the school house for the light refreshments and the log cabin so guests could view my Great-Grandfather's mechanics license - which the character William Phillips is based off of (the real man was William Seymour Blacksmith in Moulinette).

They have signed copies of the book in their store at the Lost Villages Museum and the book and ebook are now available online and soon in other fine retailers. Thank you again for your support!

The odd time we are forced by different life circumstances to take a deeper look at our life; our successes; and question ourselves as to whether or not we are truly happy with where we now stand in life. When in doubt, the following quote always does the trick for me. This quote makes me realize that I am on the right path in my life and any obstacle that comes my way, big or small, I will be strong and work through it to make my dreams become reality.

Long before my first cancer diagnosis, my body was showing signs that something just wasn’t right. I had severe fatigue. I had gone from running fifteen to twenty kilometres a week to having a tough time just rolling out of bed in the morning. I had insomnia. Not the kind of insomnia where you have a hard time falling asleep, the kind of insomnia where you don’t sleep at night for over a year…ever. All day long, I fought sleep. There were hot flashes where my body temperature would rise so high, I thought my head would catch on fire and my skin would spontaneously combust. There were nights when I would wake up drenched from head to toe, sometimes several times in a night. I was very thin. I ate nonstop and never gained a pound. My voice was getting increasingly hoarser and I was constantly clearing my throat. Then, there were the mini ‘comas’. Several times, I fell into a coma-like state for what seemed like an hour or so. My eyes were open, but I would feel paralyzed. Reaching for the phone to call for help was impossible. The episodes were very frightening. I was sent to see a sleep specialist who declared me to be narcoleptic. I was told over and over that fatigue in a newly-divorced single mom was normal, that I had been through a lot. I knew my body. I knew what I was capable of handling, and I knew something was going awry with my body’s wiring, we just had to figure it out. My blood pressure was high, but my bloodwork was normal. My thyroid levels were all testing within the normal range. One night, at my cousin’s wedding, I lost my voice. Like someone flipped a switch, it was gone. I figured shouting over the loud music had caused it. When it didn’t return several days later, I assumed laryngitis. After days of having no voice, but few other symptoms, I palpated my lymph nodes. I felt a lump on one side of my throat. I suspected infection. The dentist I worked with gave me a head and neck exam. He found a golf-ball sized nodule on the left side of my neck. He recommended I get it checked immediately. Eventually, I landed in emergency, not being able to swallow because of tumours pressing against my esophagus. I saw my family doctor right away. She said “only 5-10% of these cases turn out to be cancer”, but the look on her face said it all. The pieces of the puzzle were finally falling together.
When I received my diagnosis of thyroid cancer and metastatic cancer of the lymph nodes, it all made sense. The diagnosis was a relief, and I looked forward to becoming symptom-free.

MORTGAGE MATTERS with Derrick Cracknell
HEADING For HAPPY with Sara Murphy
The long and winding road to diagnosis
Examining No-Frills Mortgage Products While No-Frills mortgage products typically offer a lower – or more discounted – interest rate when compared with many other available products, the lower rate is really their only perk. This type of product will only seem ideal for you if you have no plans to take advantage of benefits that will help you pay off your mortgage faster – such as pre-payment privileges including lump-sum payments. Essentially, this product is only ideal for: first-time homebuyers who want fixed payments and have limited opportunities to make lump-sum payments during the first five years of their mortgage; and property investors who need a low fixed rate and are not concerned with making lump-sum payments. No-Frills products also won’t let you take your mortgage with you if you purchase another property before your mortgage term is up – ie, portability is not an option with this product. Portability is an important option that could save you money over the long term if the home of your dreams is within your reach before your mortgage term is up and rates have risen, which they have a tendency to do over a five-year period.
It’s understanding why these products may seem appealing. After all, during tougher economic times who has the extra cash to put down a huge lump-sum payment? And who needs a portable mortgage if they’re not planning on moving until the market picks up? But it’s important to remember that a lot can change over the course of five years – or whatever term you choose for your mortgage. The thing is, you can still obtain great mortgage savings without giving up the perks of traditional mortgages. For starters, many lenders are willing to offer significant discounts if you opt for a 30day “quick” close. There are, however, other ways in which to earn your own discounts. For instance, by switching to weekly or bi-weekly mortgage payments, and by obtaining a variable-rate mortgage but increasing your payments to match those of the going fiveyear fixed rate, you’ll be ahead of the typical 0.1% discount of a No-Frills product within approximately three years. No-Frills products represent a great example of why interest rates are not the only important factor to consider when deciding whether or not to opt for a particular mortgage product. Much like buying a car, you get what you pay for. If you don’t want a car with air conditioning, a stereo, a cup holder, and so on, then you can get the cheapest car going…but you’ll likely regret it later.

ART SEEKERS by Sandra Taylor Hedges
SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS The Tao of Being an Artist The Buddhist philosophy is one of reaching a state of Tao or balance this is based on the idea that there are opposites that are always in affect around us. Opposites such as good and bad; light and dark; positive and negative or even Yin and Yang, these states of being are always surrounding us and within us. Once a balance has been achieved both in the world and more importantly within ourselves we reach Tao which translated mean simply, The Path. If you are an artist or know one then you know that we are often in extreme states of positive and negative often within not only the same day but the same hour. Reaching this state of balance is not as difficult as you may think just close your eyes for a moment and think of a time that you were busy creating your art. In that moment when you were writing, composing, dancing or painting you were in a place of Tao. You were not aware of time or hunger or other people around you. You were in a state of complete balance; time and space were one and you for that moment were both inside and outside of your personal reality, in a phrase you were “One with the Universe”.
If only we could stay there in that perfect place of creativity. If only we were always as at peace as we are in that moment. Unfortunately we can rarely stay there for more than a few hours at a time but those few moments or hours can make the world of difference to both you and those around you. It can also make the difference of being able to cope or not with the demands of the world, and man can it be demanding! We are under pressure all the time; pressure if we are not making money at our art; pressure if we are to fulfill commitments for performances or commissions; pressure to follow the agenda others set out for us. All of this pressure can throw you into a tailspin and you will land in what I call the Blank Zone. The Blank Zone is the equivalent to the Sargasso Sea, the place in the ocean where there is no wind and if sailors got trapped there you could just float around for days going nowhere slowly. You all know the place. This is when you sit with that blank sheet of paper or canvas in front of you with nothing coming out or you may as well have two left feet or fingers as far as the music or dancing you are doing. Your brain is buzzing with all the “Stuff” that is happening that has nothing to do with your art.
30th ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS To mark its 30-year anniversary this October, the Cornwall Regional Art Gallery is calling on visual artists of all disciplines, experience levels and ages to submit work to a special celebratory exhibition.
"For the past three decades we've always tried to reinforce the idea that art is for everyone," said gallery director Sylvie Lizotte. "Now is the time for all artists to show our community what they can do and who they are."
The Gallery hopes to be flooded with artwork. "The only thing we ask is that two-dimensional pieces be square-shaped, so that we can create a mosaic of square canvases," added Lizotte. "Three dimensional pieces are also welcome."
The six-week-long exhibition would kick off with a blacktie, gala reception on October 18. Artists can download an entry form on the Gallery's website: cornwallregionalartgallery.ca For more information contact: Vincent Pilon, Gallery Assistant 613.938.7387, vince@cornwallregionalartgallery.ca
FREE ART LECTURE AT CRAG
Eastern Ontario artist James Hrkach, whose work is currently on display at CRAG, until August 3 is offering a free lecture at
the Gallery on Saturday, July 21, at 1:30 PM.
"I would like to speak about my 30 year endeavour to discover the many levels of meaning in art and specifically to unite content and form," says Hrkach. "I was never happy with only representing or merely expressing emotion, focusing on media use or obsessing with geometric rules of composition. It seemed to me necessary to see how they could all relate...how they could collaborate." No registration necessary. Gallery hours are from Tuesday to Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Visit cornwallregionalartgallery.ca for more information.
This is where a moment of meditation is needed. Just sit quietly, if you are inside go outside for a moment and sit quietly and listen to the sounds around you. Focus on the noisy traffic or the twittering birds, take a few deep breaths slowly in and out and allow your body to relax. Let your hands go loose, your eyes close and just breathe. Once you are feeling relaxed think about the art you are trying to create, see yourself making it, see the mood or colour of it. The moment you have a clear vision in your mind get up and go back to creating your art. You have reached the state of Tao; the path to creativity.

Lock the door, turn off your phone and computer and make your art. Take all the time you can without interruption and you will create something truly glorious.

You Be The Judge Have you ever wondered what it would be like if people weren’t so judgmental? If every day you weren’t judged by your clothing; where you work; what you do for a living; where you workout; what foods you eat; the kind of car you drive; the size of pants you wear or even the type of music you listen to? It’s hard enough to be a woman in this society with all these judgments. So when we encounter these situations or people who enjoy making negative comments, it always seems to make us second-guess the decisions we’ve made in our lives, and the decisions that we will make in the future. This got me thinking, I mean realistically it shouldn’t matter what people say, but some of us have become so accustomed to believing and letting others dictate what is right and wrong in our lives and what is normal and what is not, that we tend to forget that the only person’s opinion that really should matter is your own. Sometimes, it’s important to reflect on who you are and what your wants and needs are. Just tune out the world for a few moments, take a few breaths, and remember that you are you, and you are fabulous and beautiful just the way you are. In all honesty, I’ve struggled with this myself. I’ve come to realize that the first step to being happy and leading a happy life starts with the inside you first; not what’s in the mirror, not negative comments and not the opinions of others. If you truly believe that you, just the way you are, are amazing, then you’ve just taken a major step in self happiness. We’ve all experienced hardships in our lives, no matter what age or gender you are. I truly believe that if people try to be happy with themselves, or would try to make the best of a bad situation, we would treat each other a lot differently than we do. In general, our society would be much happier. Remember that you control what the outcome of today will be. In the grand scheme of things, those unpleasant comments or situations should not consume your day, they have no right to. Create your day and when unexpected negative occurrences happen, choose to disregard them - as they have no place in your world or life. Life is a journey and we only get one go around, so be the best version of you every day!

roadSIGNS by Betty Healey
NEXT WEEKEND A Circle of Friends I think often of the importance of both friends and family and how both sets of relationships are woven into the fabric of who I am. In regard to family, I have been aware that I have two – the one I was born into and the one I have created. If we are lucky, our family of origin is one where we are able to forge meaningful relationships. Unfortunately for many of you, that is not always the case. I have this theory that most of us will be born into ‘dysfunctional families’. For some odd reason the dysfunction is all perfect as it allows us to become clear on what we really want from relationships. Then there is the family we create – our circle of friends, those people whom we choose and who choose us. Is seems choice makes all the difference as unlike family, it is not burdened with obligation. Choice versus obligation; therein lies the difference.
I am writing this week’s column from the sandy shores of Prince Edward Island where I am with my Circle of Friends. The circle first formed in 1998 when I called upon friends from different parts of my life to join me in an exploration of self, an experiment if you will. And while some of them were skeptical and others high on the ‘woo-woo’ scale, they all agreed to attend the retreat I was creating. Fast forward 14 years, and we are meeting once again. This in our sixth reunion. One has travelled from Vancouver Island, one lives here on PEI and is hosting our event. The rest of us have travelled form Quebec and Ontario. What is the draw? When the announcement goes out, like homing pigeons we feel the call to come together. As we walked the beach today, I understood why I love this circle – it is safe. This is the place where I need not wear a mask, where I can show up and truly be who I am, where I am accepted warts and all. I have learned much about friendship through this group. I have learned that I am loved and that I have an opportunity to love. More importantly I am learning that love need not have conditions and that acceptance of self and others is the greatest gift of all. I have learned to listen and be listened to, to understand and be understood, to move beyond judgment to see the light that lives within each of my friends. As I look across the room I see Ann sitting with her book, Deedy walking into the room and Jim making breakfast. Friends can ‘BE’ together, there is simply comfort in their presence. ‘DOING’ things together is not a requirement. We are simply comfortable in our togetherness. My amazement with this circle is our durability and our delight in coming together, the curiosity about one another’s lives, the laughter that spontaneously ripples through the room as one of us shares one of the AHA moments of the last two years and the question that begins every gathering we have, “What has become clear to you since we last met?” We are diverse in who we are and how we interact with life. We span the extremes of introversion and extroversion, logic and emotion, details and big picture. Our differences are what make us so interesting. I cherish the lessons I take away from this circle of friends; they infuse the other parts of my life. And while friends cross our path in many ways, for a season, for a reason and for a lifetime, I am grateful that this circle as endured the years and finds the time in each of their lives to value what we have created. Value friendship; friends are your chosen family, your travel companions, your mirrors, your teachers and your soul mates. Friends, true friends, love and experience you for who you are and this I believe, is the greatest gift one can ever receive. Today, look around you and recognize the circle of friends you have attracted to your life. Cherish them. Release any judgments that may be lingering and simply love them. ‘Such good is gleaned by like minds and interests coming together. We are at our best when we serve a common cause. We are inspired and moved by individuals whose interests are similar to ours. Just as many hands make light work, many minds make for a more creative vision.’ Melinda Fields and Lane Philips Abundantly Yours, Betty Betty Healey is an award winning author and inspiring speaker.

SEEKING SPORTS NEWS Second Annual Tri-Star Softball Challenge Softball. Prizes. 120 children. And a whole lot of fun. That’s what the Tristar softball challenge is all about. The second annual tristar softball challenge was held at Optimist Park on June 23, 2012. Over 75% of the children from the Cornwall Optimist Minor Softball League (COMSL) were there to participate in skills competitions like Batting for Distance, Base Running Speed and Throwing Accuracy. The COMSL welcomes children from 4 to 18 years old, boys and girls alike, to be a part of their recreational house softball league. In addition to a 22 game season, plus playoffs, the longest season of any summer sport in town, they host regular skills improvement clinics and the Tristar Softball Challenge where kids compete against all the children in their age bracket for medals as well as great door prizes like new bats, gloves and other equipment donated by generous local businesses. While the top athletes earn medals for their achievements, every child who participates is eligible to bring home a great prize. This year, the COMSL would like to thank its generous sponsors who helped to make the day a great success. Joe Adams, from Adams Home Services, Adam Beehler, from Adams Beehler Plumbing, Jamie Pecore, from Pecore Electric, Dwight Lefave, from ReMax Realty, Rookez Edge Source For Sports, Cristill Rock Pure Water, Eve Cambell, from MT Advertising by Design, and Peter Dugdale, from Sunlife Financial. Your support is so greatly appreciated. The event was organized by league presidents Jean and Monique Roy with a lot of support and hard work by the COMSL committee and parent volunteers without whom this great event wouldn’t be possible. The Optimist club provided refreshments for the players as well as a canteen for the hungry and thirsty parents and fans. Cool treats were donated by Dairy Queen for the high scoring teams.
Cecil Nyx & 'The Prodigy' Phil Plume MPW Tag Team Champs
'The Rage' Randy Berry It was a night of surprises last Saturday as Mecca Pro Wrestling, one of eastern Ontario's
premier independent wrestling organizations held its most unpredictable event to date "Baptised In Gold" at The Church on Sydney in Cornwall.
The 3 hour extravaganza featured 2 explosive tournaments, one to crown a new MPW Champion and the other to crown new Tag Team Champions. First we saw Cecil Nyx & "The Prodigy" Phil Plume, 2 men that have never teamed up before pull the upset on veteran tag team The Incredible Hunks (Cheeky & Deeno) in the finals of the tag team tourney to win the titles. Then in the finals of the MPW Championship tourney, it was The American Barbarian (formerly known as Damian The Barbarian) who would become Champion by defeating the odds-on favourite "The Rage" Randy Berry and the smallest competitor to ever compete for the MPW title, Shocker. Another highlight of the show was a triple threat match between Jewells Malone, Sabrina Kyle and Persephone Vice, 3 of the top female performers in all of Ontario. In the end, the 6'2" amazon Vice would prove to be unstoppable, taking out Malone with a devastating chokebomb for the win.

SEEKING MORE SPORTS NEWS It’s been a busy week in the NHL; here are my thoughts on the Free Agent Frenzy! HABS ADD GRIT: Marc Bergevin has to be pleased with his first July 1 as a general manager. The Habs signed veterans Colby Armstrong, Brandon Prust and former Canadiens d-man Francis Bouillon. Armstrong and Bouillon are good pickups at $1 million and $1.5 million, respectively. If Montreal’s top-end players work as hard as these character players, the Habs will certainly be in much better shape next season. The Canadiens also re-signed Ryan White and Travis Moen last week, ensuring that the Bell Centre will be rocking once again. PRICE GOES CHA-CHING: Carey Price hit it big with a 6-year $39 million contract with the Habs. Price will be a $6.5 million cap hit for the Habs. Some say this is too much for the 24-year-old, but it’s under the $7.0 million Pekka Rinne is getting in Nashville. And you can’t argue that Price is Montreal’s best player. Without him they would have finished 30th in the NHL last year instead of 28th! Price will be an unrestricted free agent at 30. YAPPY DIVISION: The NHL’s Northeast Division just got a bit tougher and a lot yappier. Prust (Montreal) and Steve Ott (Buffalo) give the division two more agitators that can play the game. They will fit in well in the Northeast with the likes of Chris Neil (Ottawa), Patrick Kaleta (Buffalo) and every single Boston Bruin.
Financially Speaking with Brian Seguin
FOLIGNO JUMPS TO COLUMBUS: I’m not sure why the Ottawa Senators were in such a rush to deal Nick Foligno. The Sens, who were rumoured to be moving him for quite some time, sent the 24-year-old winger to Columbus for d-man Marc Methot. Foligno is a decent-sized, rugged winger who has some offensive upside as well. The fact that he has only one year left on his contract might have been a factor. Foligno, who will earn $1.55 million next season, becomes a restricted free agent next July. Meanwhile, the Sens get an Ottawa native in Methot, who is a steady d-man with a cap hit of $3 million per season. The move was necessary after Filip Kuba signed with the Florida Panthers.
CANUCKS LAND GARRISON: One of the biggest jaw-dropping contracts was the Jason Garrison deal. The Vancouver Canucks signed the defenceman to a 6-year $27.6 million deal. The 4-year pro, who was never drafted, will make more in his first year in Vancouver than he did in all four of his pro seasons combined. Garrison had a breakout 33-point season with the Florida Panthers and you’d think those numbers would only improve with the high-scoring Canucks. MAJOR DEAL FOR SHELDON: For a guy who two seasons ago spent the year in the minors, Sheldon Souray sure hit the jackpot with the Anaheim Ducks. Souray, 35, inked a 3-year $11 million deal. Souray is a tough d-man with a blast of a shot, but he is injury-prone and rarely plays a full season. SAME JERSEY FOR BRODEUR: After all the talk, Martin Brodeur decided to stay in New Jersey. Brodeur hired agent Pat Brisson and did test the free-agent waters, but in the end he signed on for two more years with the Devils ($9 million). I can’t help but wonder what kind of commission Brisson will make for his one week of work. Even if it’s only 4%, he’s looking at $360,000. WHITNEY CASHES IN: Speaking of 40-year-olds, Ray Whitney opted for the Dallas Stars and a 2-year $9 million deal. Last season, Whitney had one of his best offensive seasons, scoring 77 points with the Phoenix Coyotes. I figured he’d retire after having also reached the 1,000-point plateau last year as well. But more and more veterans are sticking around for that extra pay day, it seems. TOUGH WEEK FOR SHANNY: A week after not being chosen for the Hockey Hall of Fame, Brendan Shanahan was overruled by commissioner Gary Bettman. Shanahan may “drop the puck” on NHL suspensions, but Bettman decided to shorten the 25game suspension that was handed to Raffi Torres in the playoffs to 21 games. Torres had appealed the decision but this is a rare move by Bettman. Torres, who blindsided Marian Hossa, served 13 games in the playoffs and now has eight games remaining. PIPER’S POINT: Alexander Radulov is reportedly gone back to the KHL, and hopefully we never have to hear of him again. In Russia, he’s a superstar who will make more than $9 million per season. Here, he’s a selfish prima donna who isn’t worth half that money. Maybe I’m just bitter because I just picked him up a month ago in a keeper fantasy pool, in hopes that he’d signed with the New York Rangers. Ah well, you win some and you lose some. rodwilson@gmail.com Follow me on Twitter: @piperspoints

Contribute to an RESP – With a Registered Education Savings Plan, you can put aside money for your children’s post-secondary education. In addition, RESP owners are eligible for the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG). When your children enter the working world: Encourage them to save for the future – A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a great retirement savings vehicle. Your children might also consider a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). You can open one, as well – every Canadian resident who has reached the age of majority can contribute up to $5,000 annually to a TFSA. Make long-term care arrangements – If you needed long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay, and you had inadequate financial preparations, the burden could fall on your children. Now is the time to consult with your financial advisor to begin preparing for possible long-term care costs. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN REACH MIDDLE AGE: Communicate your financial situation and estate plans – Don’t leave adult children in the dark as to your financial information. Share everything you can about how much you own, where you keep your assets and how you plan to eventually distribute them. By clearly communicating your situation and wishes now, you can avoid major problems later. Create a power of attorney – By creating a power of attorney, you can appoint
