WORKERS UNITE FOR LABOUR DAY CELEBRATIONS - Labour Day Celebrations were held on September 2nd at Lamoureux Park, where the Cornwall and District Labour Council invited working people and their families to a bbq, a stage show featuring Little John, a walk for leukemia, and music by Trevor Walsh.

Across the country, labour day celebrates the workplace gains that raised the standard of living and heightened the quality of life for Canadians since the labour movement began in the late nineteenth century: a five-day week, an eight-hour day, the weekend, sick leave, maternity leave, pensions, compensation for workplace injuries and so much more.

But the day isn’t only about the past. The labour movement is a contemporary force that is responding to new challenges confronting workers, especially a living wage. The minimum wage in Ontario has been frozen at $10.25 for three years.

Labour Council president Elaine MacDonald invites workers and their families to demand a minimum wage of $14.00 an hour. It’s only just.

SDSG NDP BREAKFAST IN CHESTERVILLE Brian Lynch, President of the Stormont-DundasSouth Glengarry Provincial NDP riding association has announced that the local NDP riding association will be holding a breakfast on Friday September 20 at 8 a.m. at the The McCloskey, 22 Victoria St., Chesterville. Lynch stated: “We are very pleased to have as our guest speaker at the breakfast John Vanthof, the M.P.P. for TemiskamingCochrane and NDP critic for Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs. Mr. Vanthof will speak on issues facing rural communities like SDSG and NDP agriculture and rural policies.” Vanthof was first elected to the Ontario legislature in the October 6, 2011 provincial election. Prior to last year, he operated a dairy farm for almost 30 years outside Earlton in Northern Ontario. Vanthof also served for 10 years as the President of the Temiskaming Federation of Agriculture, as a director on the board of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario, and for 12 years on the municipal council. Lynch indicated that everyone is invited to attend the breakfast. Lynch explained: “This will be an excellent opportunity for local residents to discuss rural issues and initiatives to make life better in rural Ontario.” Elaine MacDonald,

RABIES VACCINATION CLINICS TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 14TH -The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU), in cooperation with local veterinarians, will be holding rabies vaccination clinics this month throughout the Eastern Counties.

The clinics will take place on September 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. and will offer the rabies vaccine for cats and dogs at a cost of $20 per pet. No examination will take place. Details about clinic locations can be found on the EOHU’s website at www.eohu.ca. n order to protect the community against rabies, it’s required by law that all cats and dogs three months of age or older be vaccinated against the disease.

Even if your cat or dog is an indoor pet, they still need to receive the rabies vaccine because bats carrying rabies can enter into residences. For more information on rabies and the upcoming rabies vaccination clinics, visit www.eohu.ca. You can also call the EOHU at 613-933-1375 or at 1 800 267-7120 and ask for Health Line.

It showcases first-time exhibitors along with familiar artists who have anchored the program for years. Whether they are new or seasoned exhibitors, all the artists have created works and explored themes that will provoke, engage and delight, and as per custom, the artists are opening their studios free of charge. The venues are located throughout the united counties from South Lancaster through Cornwall to Morrisburg. Given the beauty of the season and the scenic drives from studio to studio, the Apples & Art Tour doubles as a 2-day staycation in the fall.

THE SEEKER Vol. 4 Issue 34 - September 6 - pg. 3 CLASSIFIED ADS: 613-935-3763 ext 2 www.theseeker.ca

As I travel across StormontDundas- South Glengarry, people talk to me about the need to get this province back on track and to create the jobs that will allow our children to enjoy a bright future. Small businesses owners are frustrated by the unnecessary regulations and government forms. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business identified Ontario employers as having to face the largest regulation burden in Canada, costing them more than $11.8 billion in 2013. In today’s world, our entrepreneurs and employers face stiff competition from all over the world and government needs to be a partner, not a roadblock.

Over the past ten years, the world has seen an significant increase in worldwide consumption of goods, while Ontario has experienced a loss of over 300,000 manufacturing jobs and a drop of six places to rank fifteenth in the world’s top manufacturing nations. Over this same period of time, our average industrial electricity prices have skyrocketed to more than double that of our neighbours in Quebec, Manitoba, and Michigan. Instead of keeping power rates down to help create jobs in the economy, this current government has focused on creating jobs in the power sector itself, willing to have consumers pay any price to achieve this short-sighted goal.

Earlier this year, I tabled legislation to address issues that manufacturers are having with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), Bill 61. This government agency places unnecessary roadblocks in their way, stifling innovation and their ability to compete in this very competitive market. By the time our businesses are able to work through the expensive, time consuming and unpredictable approval process, their competitors have already moved on to the generation of equipment. They need the ability to adopt new equipment and methods as soon as they are available if we want to regain our leading position as the economic engine of Canada.

Bill 61 will create an accountable, public procedure for adopting new standards or amending existing ones without delay, to accommodate new knowledge and innovation. It will also require that the TSSA’s inspection and safety criteria be made public so that all businesses and designers will know what standard they are being held to and to ensure consistency.

Agencies such as the TSSA, must be a partner with business that encourages growth and allows them to be competitive. Recently, I heard of a local producer that experienced so many delays and unnecessary costs in the installation of a new line, that they moved the planned second line to a neighbouring jurisdiction.

Equipment that has been approved for installation in every province and state in North America is being forced through this expensive and unpredictable approval process. It’s unnecessary and it has to change if we are going to re-build Ontario. It’s time for a government that will actually work and partner with entrepreneurs and make the necessary changes that will stimulate the growth needed to generate the good paying, high-skilled jobs that we want for our children and our grandchildren.

ELAINE MACDONALD CALLS FOR $14 AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE

MPP JIM MCDONELL SAYS IT’S TIME TO RE-BUILD ONTARIO

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR On Labour Day people will gather as they always do to celebrate the great gains of the past: an 8-hour workday, a 40-hour week, sick leave, pensions, maternity leave, compensation for workplace injuries and so much more. Thanks to the efforts of a strong united labour movement, and the wage and benefit gains they made, income disparity in Canada decreased steadily during the last half of the twentieth century. That was cause for rejoicing then and it’s reason for hope now.

The currently increasing income disparity is not the default. It hasn’t always been, it shouldn’t be now and we have to correct it for the future’s sake. Changing times bring new challenges and the challenge we face now is that growing disparity and the social ills it brings in its wake. As the gap between the 1% and the rest of us, the 99%, grows, workers’ organizations like local labour councils, the Worker s’ Action Centre and the Ontario Federation of Labour are calling for an immed iate increase in the minimum wage. At $10.25 an hour and frozen for three years, the current wage leaves workers 19% below the poverty level. Shame. No one should work full time and live in poverty.

In the labour movement, we’re calling for an immediate increase in the minimum wage to $14.00 an hour. This rate would put a worker 10% above the low income cutoff poverty line. We call further for an automatic annual cost-ofliving increase, and the right to a 35-hour work week. Together we have to start to turn the tide that is leaving the poor getting poorer, the rich getting richer and the middle class growingmore insecure daily. This Monday, when we celebrate the great gains of the past, let’s remember that a fair and equitab le society is possible and let’s remember that we can’t build that a fair and equitable society without giving working people a fair recompense for their labour. Fair is fair. When the price of bread gos up, wages must too. End the freeze. $14.00 an hour now.

Elaine MacDonald President of the Cornwall & District Labour Council

Dear VERY BLUNT PERSON who submitted a definition of Cornwall Ontario in the URBAN DICTIONNARY (http://www.urbandictionary.com/ search for Cornwall, Ontario) For your information, Cornwall is a beautiful small town on the majesti c St. Lawrence river, conveniently located on the USA border and one hour away from Montreal and Ottawa, making it ideal logistically. Cornwall has a vibrant French community, which adds to its charm. It is also home to a huge population of very talented actors, painters, singers, musicians, writers, etc.

In the summer time, people gather around areas such as Lamoureux Park where a wonderful play area and splash pad is available for the kiddos.

Almost every other week-end, big events such as Lift-Off, Ribfest, Waterfest or the Kinsmen Car Show take place at that park, attracting people from all over. Our beautiful bicycle path on the waterfront goes on for miles and go through the many conservation areas nearby, where you can observe nature at its best.

Cornwall also offers an unparalleled variety of fine dining options for a town of its size. Local places to try while you're here are: Schnitzels, Bar Q, Truffles Burger Bar, Table 21, Moon, The Grind, Eight Zero Zero, Tiny Tables, Mocktails, J&T Restaurant, Thums Kitchen and the Cline House Tea Room.

Regards,

Unfortunately, Cornwall is infested by a small percentage of toxic negative parasites, such as yourself, whose view of Cornwall is like that of the definition you submitted. You bugs are very hard to eradicate. You propagate a fasle distorted image of our lovely city to the masses and the damage you do is vast and go far beyond our town.

Jim McDonell

If you don't like it, stop bitching and get the hell out of my town.

“One of a kind ... with you in mind!”

I’m Debbie Villeneuve, your local Allstate Insurance Agent here in Cornwall with some Good Hands Advice for everyday life.

Parents might be surprised at the value of all the items a student takes away to school, including clothing, laptops and jewelry. Many even take musical instruments or sporting equipment. Protecting these items is important, so consider adding tenant insurance to the list of items you give your student as another school year gets underway.

While some students live in dorms on campus, many rent apartments and according to Statistics Canada, only 50% of renters have tenant insurance, which can be a huge mistake. Tenant insurance is inexpensive and covers renters for several unexpected events including; • Vandalism and lock replacement; • Leaving water running and flooding the apartment or a neighbour’s apartment; • Living expenses if the apartment or house is so damaged the student must stay elsewhere while repairs are made; • Medical expenses if someone is hurt on the property.

If a student is renting with friends, make sure they have their own coverage and that everyone is named on the lease. If only one person is listed, they will likely be held liable for injuries or damage.

The good news for parents is that their personal home insurance policy will likely cover many of their child’s belongings while they are full-time students. However, young Canadians who are not full-time students or who have made a permanent move from their parents’ house may need their own coverage. Parents and students should also consider specific insurance on expensive items because some policies may include limits to coverage on some big ticket items.

NOTE: You can hand chop the vegetables or use your food processor for a finer and much quicker method of chopping. Morris used his food processor and the relish was lovely.

Bottom line - check with your insurance provider to be sure your child’s needs -Slice the succhini in half lenghwise and then in half again into quarters. Remove the and valuables are fully protected. The student in your life should only have to seeds. worry about quizzes and term papers, not how they’ll replace their laptop if -Chop up the zucchini into 1/8" to 1/4" pieces. it happens to be stolen.

-Dice the onions.

-Seed and core the peppers and chop them up into small pieces. . Find out more about how you can protect your student’s belongings at www.goodhandsadvice.ca or you can contact me at -Place the chopped zucchini, onions and peppers into a large bowl.

When first enter my shop, you will quickly discover my specialties. The very popular organic hazelnut spread (nutella), organic caramel and organic maple spread are hard to keep on the shelves. The comment that I often hear is “omg… I will eat this in one sitting!!”. Of course I discourage you from doing this, you can for sure stretch it out through the week. They are all very tasty mixed in with plain organic yogurt, on top of fruit, some have even drizzled it on frozen yogurt. No matter how you decide to enjoy it, it is for sure a great treat for your taste buds.

I also offer a great variety of dry mixes (muffins, brownies, cookies, pancakes), all you need to do is add the wet ingredients.

You will find these in each corner of my space, they are very accessible and you can always read the ingredients. These are made fresh on a weekly basis. The step by step instructions that you will find inside each bag makes them very easy for you to prepare. I also offer a gluten free selection of dry mixes (pizza dough, cookies, muffins, bread and pancake) that are very easy to prepare as well. For cross contamination reasons these are kept behind the counter.

If you are looking to give your body a great boost of energy, you would probably also enjoy my raw nut energy mix or maple granola. My raw energy bars are always available, come early for best selection and not to be disappointed. Hope to see you soon at my little shop, 812 Pitt Street, unit 40, just passed Earthway Chiropractic Clinic on the left side…. Every Saturday..9am to 4pm.

I am very fortunate to have a co-worker that lives out her passion through the lens of a camera. I knew that she was the one that would best represent the true story of my new little shop. Marie Andree Ouimet, is a great lady to contact for your next special event.

What I truly appreciated is that she took the time to listen to my ideas as well and then we went from there. She is very professional and comfortable to work with and I promise that you will not be disappointed in the final product.

Continued from cover Our little area offers quite the selection of fine dining possibilities. In our sea of dining options, patrons are often looking for more than the usual suspects. They are looking for an experience. Something they can remember. Something that will go beyond the normalcy of "going out to eat". This, they will find at the Cline House Tea Room.

The Tea Room at Logan's Gallery has been opened for quite some time. In Cornwall, it is known for its charming decor and especially for its decadent desserts. It has always been there, besides the gallery, offering tasty treats and a wide variety of teas, but now, Mike Logan has taken his passion of cooking and entertaining to a whole new level.

Every two weeks, on a Friday night, the entire square footage at Logan's Gallery is transformed into an enchanting eatery, for the duration of a delectable 5 course mouth-watering dining extravaganza. For that evening, the daytime framing and art business becomes home to enticing smells and delectable food, much to the area's foodies' delight. The gallery's New England charm pairs neatly with the food tasting as your sight is gracefully entertained by the marvelous collection of framings, paintings and drawings hanging on the walls, while your taste buds are being stimulated by the carefully chosen selection of dishes prepared by Mike and his sister Judy, served on oh-so-pretty china.

Presentation is everything.

"The experience was leisurely and welcoming, and I've never had a meal that delicious outside the ones my mother would prepare on the holidays." Said my good friend Aleta Poulin who attended the last two dinners with me. "I don't know how else to say it but mmmmm!" The first dinner we attended had an Italian theme and offered a bottomless pasta bowl and the best tiramisu I've had in years. The second dinner had a more of a French theme and featured "coq-au-vin", roasted squash and carrot soup and delectable pies.

The next event will take place on September 13th and is open by invitation only. If you are one of the lucky people who are within the 6 degrees of separation with the Logans, get ready for an Italian night at the gallery. If not, you can always friend me on facebook and I'll see what I can do to get you invited!

I'm Julia Lucio and I'm out and about.

First we were entertained by Mike McAnany and then enlightened by our guest speaker Gerald Swift. Gerald, artist and entrepreneur, inspired us with his story. From his very beginnings, his evolution through watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels, pen & ink, pottery, book illustrations, to making movies with the help of today's newest technologies, there isn't much that he hasn't dabled with in his journey through the arts.

5 Questions with local artist Kevin Jude MacDonald Interview by Mai-Liis Renaud

When and where did you begin your career?

I attended St. Lawrence College here in Cornwall, graduating with a diploma in Graphic Design and Fine Arts and a College Certificate in Photography. After that I attended Sheridan College where I completed a certification in modeling and related careers.

by Kris Ward

kriscrossroads

in his First Solo show entitled ” From Paris to N.Y.C”

I decided to take a night course this year in creative writing. I rediscovered the joy of writing a few years ago, but haven’t dabbled in the creative form for quite some time, but I am looking forward to it. After watching my son work diligently on his fantasy novel and reading his submissions for his creative class, I am inspired to meet with other writing enthusiast and let my imagination wander.

School is not the only thing new on my agenda, as I have also signed up and committed to at least a few months of hot yoga, and recently received my reminder that the personal training I signed up for will begin in a few short weeks.

I will work with one of our students in the Fitness and Health Promotion program.

Fall is also the time when the TV shows I love to watch return with all new episodes. As I have been very busy, I have recently indulged in a little “binge watching” to get caught up. This is the beauty of the DVR, I can watch back to back episodes and after a non-stop summer, it is just what I needed. I am now caught up on Arrow, Grey’s Anatomy, The Listener to name a few.

How did you get into medeling?

While at Sheridan I was recruited by an International Top Model Agency and began modeling in Milan, Italy. Shortly after that I was recruited by Best One Modeling Agency for a contract in Paris, France.

When did you start painting?

Actually, while in Paris I was a frequent visitor to the art galleries like the Louvre, the Orsay Museum and the Picasso Museum, loving the culture of Paris, with the fashion designers and photographers and all the beauty surrounding me. Unfortunately though my modeling took up most of my time and I couldn’t paint as much as I wanted to.

Where did you go next?

After Paris I was recruited by Ford Modeling Agency in N.Y.C. and lived there for 5 years. I loved the excitement of the West Village Art District and this along with the artists Salvador Dali, Botticelli and Michael Angelo was a great influence and inspiration on my painting.

After more than a decade away, I returned to my hometown of Cornwall and set up my studio where I love to paint and teach Tai Chi (which I learnt while in N.Y.C.)

I exhibited my art at Café Connectionz and the Grind and now have my first solo exhibition at TAG Art Gallery. It has taken me almost 20 years to accomplish this dream and my show continues until September 13th.

So I encourage everyone to come down to see the show titled “From Paris to N.Y.C” - a collection of acrylic paintings which speak about my life experience.

what about the future?

I would like to paint larger pieces concentrating more on local people and would like to do some commission work for local businesses.

Thank you Kevin and we wish you all the best for your future success.

This cooler weather also means a transition in clothes, so although the heavy sweaters are not out yet, it also means I personally packed away the capris, sandals and summer clothing. I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to all my favourites, so a slow merge is happening as bright colours, lightweight pants and skirts re-enter my wardrobe.

As schedules ramp up, it is good to plan for what is ahead. I’m taking stock, preparing meals ahead and trying to stay on top of things. Travel will decrease, and I am sad that I won’t be in Cornwall to celebrate my nephew Josh’s 10th birthday, but I know he will have a great time with the mobile gaming centre my sister arranged for him.

I have spoken with several moms who are suddenly balancing all the schedules for their children as sports resume, homework is to be completed, lunches must be prepared and earlier bedtimes are set. I also know several of my friends are now coping with the absence of their children as they leave home for post-secondary education. It was a bittersweet weekend for many and having experienced it last year, I know it takes some adjustments, but getting that call or text where they tell you about their day, there new teachers, new classmates and new experiences, you can’t help but be proud of them. Are you happy to see the return to school and schedules?

Kevin Jude MacDonald

It’s September; the time for students and teachers to return to school, routines resume and a transition begins. Slowly the cooler weather creeps in and schedules begin to form as to-do lists, registrations and homework is planned for.

As I am in a school environment, it is inspiring to see the students as I make my way through the corridors and by the cafeteria. Some are away from home for the first time, others are returning and looking forward to graduation, they are looking ahead and taking steps towards their career ambitions.

If you’re like me and you didn’t get a chance to get your garden in this spring, it isn’t too late to plant lettuce or spinach in containers for fresh salads well into October!

Pair these greens with the beets and carrots you can find either in your garden, at a farmers’ market (or from that generous neighbour).

In Cornwall, Prescott Russell and SD&G, there are over 80 farms, markets, food shops and producers that use or grow local ingredients. Pick up a Farm Fresh Map at various locations in the area and spend a day soon discovering some of the bounty right here in our backyards.

Roasted Vegetables are a great way to take advantage Cornwall Complex Civic Center of the harvest with very minimal work. Use a baking 100 Water Street East sheet and toss the veggies with olive oil, herbs and Cornwall (Ontario) K6H 6G4 season to taste. I like to keep the vegetables separate so I can use one or two at a time a couple of nights in a row and then use the leftovers for a hearty Roasted Vegetable Soup.

Roasted Fall Vegetables 2-3 lbs assorted vegetables (butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, red onion, zucchini, tomatoes etc.)

Extra virgin olive oil Salt Pepper Assorted fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano, etc.)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and cut the vegetables into equal sized pieces, about 1–in/2.5-cm chunks. Toss vegetables separately in olive oil in a large bowl with herbs and season with salt and pepper.

Spread the pieces out in a single layer so that the vegetables don't touch. (If you need to, use two sheets.)

Roast until browned and just tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. If you’re using vegetables like zucchini and tomatoes, add them 15-20 minutes after the heartier vegetables so they’ll finish at the same time. Remove and toss with additional herbs. *Beets are an amazing addition to the roasted vegetables. If you’re roasting beets, trim them and wrap them in foil and roast with the other vegetables.

I can hardly believe how quickly August has passed us by. Although it is still "officialy," Summer until the 21st, it's time to get your warmer Fall clothing and footwear out, for these cooler mornings and evenings.

Time to start putting away or (giving away) your summer clothing and things for another year. (Please donate to the many thrift stores, here in Cornwall.)

Thank you.

The Fall colours are starting to show their pretty faces, among the different trees and plants at this time of year. They are starting to put on their Fall Fashion Colours, as we all should be doing. This season's fashion involves "mixing and matching" the many bright colours together with our wardrobes, along with some pieces of black and white items thrown in for that "WOW Factor." The contrast is stupendous and by wearing black and white it really makes you stand out in a crowd, (That is, if you want to. I may do this from time to time...you know me. ) Tip of the week: Get your clothing ready by giving them a quick "tumble" in the dryer. I do this with a lot of my clothes that have been hanging in my closet for a season. They don't need to be cleaned, just "freshened up" a bit.
