Celebration at École catholique Marie-Tanguay
Cover photo and article by : Carol Grant Productions
Marguerite Bourgeois arrived in Montreal (Ville-Marie) on November 16, 1653 to open a new school and teach the children. However, the children were afraid of her religious attire. To attract the children to her school, Marguerite had an idea to make pull taffy! She prepared this confection with molasses and maple syrup in front of the children and pulled it. The smell and taste and the pleasure of pulling the taffy soon had the children coming to the school where she began teaching them to count, read and write. Marguerite therefore became the first teacher. Since that time, French schools have been celebrating "La Sainte-Catherine" day in her honour. Last night, (Thursday, November 28th) École catholique Marie-Tanguay celebrated this tradition by hosting a supper complete with live entertainment by Les Affreux Lurons. Students and their families were treated to a delicious meal catered by Prestige Catering. More Photos on page 13

The Board is in the process of realigning its focus to become more sustainable and requires public input. This is a chance for residents to bring forth ideas that will enhance the festival, and in turn ensure its longevity. When: Wednesday, December 4th, 2013; 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

BOWL FOR KIDS SAKE HONOURARY CHAIR TO BE NAMED - The Honourary Chair for the 2014 Tim Hortons Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake will be announced at a media launch taking place at on December 2nd at Olympia Bowl in Cornwall. The bowling alley, located at 71 Ninth St. W. and Nativité Bowling at 301 McConnell, play host to the City Challenge portion of the nonprofit organization’s annual big bowling fundraiser. The 2014 Tim Hortons Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2014 in Cornwall and on Sunday, February 9, 2014 in Chesterville. The annual fundraiser is integral to the operation of the seven free mentoring programs provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cornwall and District. The event sees over 200 teams of local bowlers lacing up to help the non-profit agency raise close to 30% of their annual operating budget. “We are already seeing new teams signing up for this year’s event and look forward to seeing even more new teams join us!” said Executive Director Amanda Brisson. Brisson said the influx of new teams is an encouraging sign that, with the community’s help, BBBS will meet and possibly surpass the $63,000 raised last year. BBBS mentorships instill trust and selfconfidence in the youth enrolled and provides opportunities for them to learn leadership skills and try new things, all while having fun.
SHOP LOCAL - Shopping locally is about more than buying goods and services close to home. It's an investment in the local economy that helps to support jobs and produces benefits for the entire community. That's the message being spread by officials of the City of Cornwall and Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce in the lead up to the 2013 holiday season. "Shopping locally helps to build strong communities by sustaining the many local businesses which employ residents and contribute to the overall quality of life we enjoy," said Mayor Bob Kilger. "We are fortunate to have a great array of local restaurants, retailers and professional services right here in our community." When purchases are made locally, a greater share of the money stays in the community and gets reinvested in the community through things like wages, taxes, community donations, supplies and various support services from other local businesses. "Buying local helps to stimulate local economic activity, which is good for the overall health of our community," said Kevin Hargreaves, President of the Cornwall and Area Chamber of Commerce. "When we shop at home, we are supporting our family members, friends and neighbours who work for and manage these businesses." To help raise awareness and support for shopping locally, the City and the Chamber of Commerce have launched a Facebook page called 'We Shop In Cornwall'. The Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/WeShopInCornwall

CENTENNIAL CHOIR OF CORNWALL COME TO CHRISTMAS -What images and delights does the word Christmas bring to mind?

providing many enjoyable moments in the midst of this busy season. The popular Christmas Concerts will be held Friday December 13th at 8pm and Sunday December 15th at 2 pm at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 28 Second St. E, Cornwall. Tickets, which are $15 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under, are available at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, the Lottery Kiosk, 2nd Floor, Cornwall Square and at Home Hardware on 10 Thirteenth St. E., in Cornwall. Tickets are also available from Choir members. Come celebrate the wonder and love of this magical season.
Sports & Lifestyle LACASSE A STAR - For the third time this season, a River King has been chosen as one of the LNAH three stars of the week. Goaltender Loic Lacasse was named 3rd Star today by the league after earning two wins in goal for Cornwall last weekend. In two contests (a 5-4 shootout win at Valleyfield and a 6-1 home victory over Thetford-Mines) Lacasse had a 2.40 goals against average and .939 save percentage. Lacasse (5-5-2) now has a .910 save percentage, which ranks him second among LNAH starting goaltenders. Dany Roussin of Saint-Georges was named the 1st Star after a five-point weekend (2 goals and 3 assists). Sorel-Tracy’s Gregory Dupre had a hat-trick last weekend vs. Jonquiere and it was enough to earn him the 2nd Star.

The Love Hawk
You Can't Change Him Women are generally hopeful romantics and generally too hopeful for their own good. We believe in fairy tales and that the men we love will love us back, no matter what. That they will change their lifestyles, change their ways, change their minds… all to be the best boyfriend or husband they can be.
THIS SATURDAY Centre Culturel de Cornwall and Généalogie et archives Saint-Laurent
present :
Un Noël d’Antan
EEEEE, wrong. If this is your mindset, well, I’m sorry in advance for bursting your bubble. Men are not projects and as much as you would love to fix the bad boy, there’s a very little chance that you will succeed. As women, we have this innate need to help people and we believe that if we spend enough time and give enough of ourselves that we can truly make a difference. In all reality though, why on earth do you want to waste your time on someone who may never truly give you all you need? Stop making excuses for him and realize maybe that’s just who he is. This isn’t to say that miracles don’t happen sometimes and there are plenty of girls who swear they got their boyfriend to do the good ol’ 180 switch. There are also people who win million dollar lotteries and others who get struck by lightning. The chances of any of these things happening are all slim. If your man isn’t giving you all of his heart you need to find out why or get the eff out.
When someone is in love, or even “in lust” or “in like”, they want to be with the person they care about. So, if a guy really likes you and he wants to see you, nothing will stop him. If he wants to text you, he will text you. If he’s not that into you, he’ll find an excuse. This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with YOU but if he’s not feeling the connection why do you want to be with someone who’s not into you 100%? If you’re already past the lusting, liking, early stuff and you both have settled into a comfortable relationship and you find his true colours are starting to shine through, ask yourself if the colours shining through are bright and happy or dark and dingy? This makes all the difference. If you’re waiting for a marriage proposal from a guy who has been adamant that he doesn’t want to get married, well you might end up waiting for a long time. Like I said earlier, men are not projects. What you see is who he is and if he has never been one to surprise you with mushy poetry, well don’t be dreaming that he’s gonna turn into Edgar Allan Poe if you just give him time. Maybe you’ll get into a fight once and his apology will be in the form of a haiku, but realistically, that’s just not who he is. And if he wants to marry you, he will. He will find a way to make sure that he’s the only guy who will ever be in your life for the rest of time, until all of eternity. This isn’t to say marriage is the only way. I know plenty of couples who are happily un-married but this is a choice they made together. If you are fine not tying the knot then that’s great, just don’t settle for anything less than you always dreamed of. A good friend of mine’s mother once told me: “The bad boy thing gets old”. She was right. So, whether your single, dating, or waiting (for a ring) figure out if you’re in love with the man you’re with or the man you hope he will become. Stop trying to change the guy you’re settling on and realize that there is a guy out there who will give you all you want…. Who will love you for who you are and understand your worth; maybe a modern day Edgar Allan Poe?

The Comfort of Home There is a method to my madness; most people wonder why I keep my car services in my hometown which is now just under 2 hours away from where I currently live? Well service is part of it, and it does give me a reason to visit. With the news of an impending storm, I made an impromptu decision to return to my hometown last weekend. I completed the last of my big events for this year; Donor Night, and called Seaway GM to see if they could install my winter tires that were in storage. They were able to fit me in, so I dashed off after work and arrived shortly before they closed on Friday so they could work on it in the morning. I also called my mom to see if they would like some company. I made the decision to stay in Kingston for Christmas this year and so this could be my last trip home before the holidays.

I returned to my parents' home and my mom had prepared a feast which could be considered my first Christmas meal. We caught up on everything as I gravitated towards one of the 3 gliders in her kitchen. It didn't take long for my niece Ella and nephew Josh to arrive and join the conversation. Not seeing me as often, they had plenty to tell me, including their Christmas list. They pulled out the catalogues and flyers to show me what they were talking about; this took me back to not only my son's childhood, but my own. I used to be well-versed on what kids want, I knew all the toys by name and now as I glance at the book, I realize that there are many I am not familiar with; although many are popular again. Their mom Melanie joined us and after I called my oldest sister Lisa, she came by as well.
Lisa's daughter recently moved to Texas and so she joined the wonderful world of Facebook and Skype. On that particular night she was heading home to Skype with Monika and then packing to see her youngest, Emily in Sudbury. Everytime I lament about distance, I think of her because she really has to travel far to see either daughter, and is hoping to head to Texas for the holidays.

We decided to bypass the gift exchange this year, except for the little ones, because reality is that funds are tight. I'd much prefer to spend time with them when I am not in a rush and maybe in the new year, we can have our girls' weekend where they come and see me. This impromptu trip gave us a chance to catch up, and although my staying over is something my niece and nephew can't fully grasp, it was great to return home. In the morning my dad treated us to Tim Hortons as I waited for my car to be ready. There are some things to expect with my dad; he'll drop everything and go and run errands for his girls and his grandsons and that includes a Tim's run or a quick jaunt for ingredients or supplies needed. He is one of the true family men. I was proud when he brought me to the college to drop off something and he was able to see the Donor Wall for the Difference We Make campaign I worked on, and to see my name in its full glory on the appreciation wall. He also could see how many people have contributed to the Cornwall campus. My car was ready before noon so I returned home to say my goodbyes. Of course, it wouldn't be a trip home if I didn't leave stuff behind, I broght a box of stuff to give away, and she sent me back with my repaired shoes, some homemade beets from my Aunt Huguette and many other treats and some boxes I stored there after I moved. My instinct was right to get the tires changed as our first big snowfall arrived a few days later, and although a snow day was declared in both cities; I had no problem navigating with my trust Michelins. Sometimes I assess my life and think of what is missing, but then I realize what I have and give thanks. Truly the best presents are the people in your life who love you and I have several.

Adjusting Your Thinking “I am keeping this because it might come in handy one day”. By thinking this way, you will end up with a zillion warehouses full stuff, and you will become the next segment on the TV show, “Hoarders, Buried Alive”, or showcased on American and Canadian Pickers. If you do not know what the item is or what it is for, you definitely do not need it. Therefore, it is time to part with it.
Small Appliances Get rid of:
• anything broken, or take items worth repairing to a repair shop within the week. Ask yourself, how long has it been broken; will you be able to find parts? Depending on how long an item has been out of commission, it may have become obsolete and not worth repairing.
• impulse-bought items you will never use. Sell them through free ads in the local papers, on Kijiji, have a garage sale, or donate them to charity.
Plastic Containers •
Don’t hang on to spare lids or tubs unless they are a complete set.
• In the kitchen, keep see-through plastic containers so that you’ll know at all times how much of what’s inside. If you can’t see the tops of the containers once they’re stacked, writing on top what is inside won’t help in the long run. • Keep no more than six (6) containers of the same size (small, medium, large). It is better to purchase a few extra when you need them than to store a bunch when you don’t.
Papers
• Recycle what you do not need, such as: expired coupons, incoming junk mail, greeting cards, outdated activity calendars, old business cards, information on items you don’t own anymore, books you have read, old catalogues and magazines (remove articles/ information you want to save and file it in the appropriate place in your filing cabinet). • Reminder: Magazines, books and newspapers create a lot of clutter in the home. Often, newspapers and magazines are left lying around long after the publication date and are never looked at again.
Odds And Ends
• Throw away pens and dried-up markers that no longer work. • Take empty ink cartridges, old batteries, and electronics to Staples
Office Depot for recycling.
• Check how many note pads you have, if you have too many, recycle them or give them away. •
DID YOU KNOW ... The SEEKERS website gets more than 700 visitors a day. CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO ADVERTISE WITH US?
GETTING RID OF CLUTTER - WHAT TO DISCARD
Toss broken or old remote controls for which you no longer have the device.
• Do not store indefinitely items for your family who have moved out, or for your friends or neighbours. Ask them to pick up their belongings; give them a deadline. They will probably tell you to donate the item(s) to charity.

TRY LYNN'S CAROB BROWNIES
carry these amazing cookbooks at my store, Sharyn's Pantry. I had a really nice afternoon visiting Lynn, meeting her husband Kyle and her 4-legged friends. Thanks Lynn for just being you! A note about carob. This is not chocolate but it has a sweet subtle flavour similar to chocolate. Carob has half the fat of chocolate and has no caffeine. We carry it in the powder form and in chipits both unsweetened or sweetened.
CAROB BROWNIES
INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup melted butter 1/4 cup carob powder (sold at Sharyn's Pantry) 2 beaten eggs 1/2 cup real maple syrup or honey (or 1 cup of brown sugar)
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Hi there to all of you beautiful people of Cornwall reading the Seeker this week. I do hope you are all thinking about Christmas now that we have some of the "white stuff" falling and staying on the ground. Did you know that there is just a little more then 3 weeks, until the BIG "C" DAY!!! A little scary and very exciting at the same time. Don't you agree??? I have a very large family, (seven children with their significant others, plus five grandchildren - plus.. plus.. plus) What I have been doing every year to help myself out, (so I am not going crazy at this time of year) is I start shopping and picking up gifts throughout the year. This way I am not rushing and or worrying so much about not having enough time or money to get what I feel are "Special Gifts" for each of my family members. I don't just get stuff. I like to find "treasures" that would suit and be liked by the person I am giving it to. I also like to wrap up each present in a nice way by adding some pretty, colourful ribbons or a bit of glitter or even a small tree ornament to make the gift look more inviting.
You must know me by now and know that I will be doing most of my shopping at the many thrift stores available to me and everyone here in Cornwall. There are many "Gift Ideas" for you and your family and friends to choose from at the Salvation Army, the Agape Center and at Value Village. These are the many places you can go to to get affordable Christmas gifts and winter boots and clothing from. By purchasing your Christmas or any other items from these stores, know that you are not only helping yourself out, you are also helping the less fortunate people in our community. Sadly there are many.
Tip of the Week: Instead of being worried about having enough METHOD: money to buy gifts for your loved ones, why not think of other ways -Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix well. goodies or give a coupon or a card -Pour the batter into the greased 8" pan and bake the brownies for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to promise a "Special Day" with the brownies to cool completely before frosting. them. Christmas Time, is more than just for giving gifts.

RIVER KINGS PROMOTIONS
After a successful weekend on the ice, the River Kings are now looking to capitalize on the momentum at the box office.
Local hockey enthusiasts looking for a great deal can attend the next two River Kings games for only $10. Regular prices for adults are $14. However, on Nov. 29 (vs. Valleyfield) and Dec. 7 (vs. SorelTracy), fans will receive $4 off their ticket when brining nonperishable items to the box office at time of purchase. “This team is something really special,” said co-owner David Small. “We hear it around the league from other teams all the time and we would like the opportunity to show the City of Cornwall what they have right here in their own backyard.”
SAVE: Loic Lacasse makes a save on Simon Courcelles of the Isothermic.
The team would also like to announce that for the balance of 2013 games, any child wearing their minor hockey jersey to the Civic Complex will be admitted to a River Kings game at no charge. Children must be accompanied by an adult. After victories last weekend vs. Valleyfield and Thetford-Mines, Cornwall is now 5-5-2 on the young season.
GOAL: The River Kings had plenty to celebrate last Saturday night with a 6-1 victory over Thetford-Mines.
ONLY 5 GAMES LEFT IN 2013! Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday,
Nov. 29 vs. Valleyfield Dec. 7 vs. Sorel-Tracy Dec. 14 vs. Jonquiere Dec. 21 vs. Riviere-du-Loup Dec. 28 vs. Jonquiere

Photography is one of those things that everyone appreciates. I have become very passionate about the art, and ever since getting my first SLR I have been able to capture life in so many ways. But of course I am not the only one who loves taking pictures, and going to The Art Gallery in Cornwall proves this. This year’s photo contest shows the artistic vision of so many talented photographers in the Cornwall area. I could not help but take the opportunity to pay a visit to the exhibition and check out all the fine art the Gallery displays.

This is the 4th year in a row the photo contest has happened, and through all those years the exhibit has been able to show off all kinds of fascinating art. The gallery was very peaceful, as people conversed with one another discussing and viewing the art. It was really amazing to see the sheer talent we have in the Cornwall community. Many of the photos were beyond everyone’s expectations. It’s amazing to see how other people view the world through a lens.
Every single picture in the exhibit was unique, taken in all different types of styles. From portraits, landscape, to macro shots; there was something the fit everyone’s taste in photography. The theme chosen this year was the “quality and drama of light in photography,” which is good because using natural light in your pictures always brings the best results. A particular photo which caught my eye was one which was taken of the sun. Used to take the picture was a high tech telephoto lens and camera which brought out a lot of texture. It was interesting to see this detailed photo of the sun knowing it was the greatest source of light for all photographers. Each picture in the exhibit truly proved the true potential of using natural light from the sun to capture the greatest shot. Sylvie Lizotte is the executive director for The Art Gallery, and the one most responsible for making it all happen. She tells me the Art gallery puts on about 10 exhibits a year, expanding on more than just photography, but painting as well. She even talked about introducing an exhibit which would be completely new for artists in the Cornwall area. “For this year I’m going to organize a fabric juried show. Like anything done with fabric; sculpture, wall hangings, painting with fabric or anything with fabrics,” she said. “The purpose of this is to challenge artists and to show different medium, because it’s not just oil or water colors.”

EXCITEMENT BUILDS FOR 23rd ANNUAL APPLES & ART STUDIO TOUR
The Apples & Art planning committee today announced its decision to register as a not-for-profit organization; a starting point for the much anticipated, 23rd annual studio tour.
This announcement comes on the heels of the Cornwall Regional Art Gallery’s (TAGs) decision to opt out of organizing the tour, as it has in the past. But the artists say they’re committed to both strategic planning and execution to promote the September 27/28 event.
“It’s a big change for the artists. Many of us have never even met each other before,” says committee member and artist Rose Desnoyer. “But after two meetings to analyze the situation, define what we have to do, and come up with a plan, we’re confident we can make it happen.”
Committee spokesperson, artist Virginia Lake, who is spearheading the
registration of the not-for-profit status, says one the biggest challenges is implementing the action plan: “There’s a lot to do by Valentine’s Day, our proposed deadline for the call to artists. Artists have to register so we have the beginnings of a budget to pay for what we need.” For more than two decades, the studio tour budget has come solely from the artists’ registration fees. Fees allow for printing of brochures, signage, advertising and other promotional efforts. “We’ve never had a corporate sponsor but hope one or two might step forward to help us,” adds Virginia. Apples & Art is a not-for-profit group of local artists who annually open their studio doors to welcome the public in and celebrate art.
