Election Updates

The provincial political engine is picking up steam. Red, blue and orange signs from the main parties in the race have appeared overnight on lawns across town. Politicians have been spotted canvassing the streets, taking advantage of the long weekend to cover some grounds.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked several times who I think the right man or woman is for the job. I always jokingly answer that since Earle’s sign is the only one that matches the colour of the Seeker Office, I would have to go Liberal. The truth is, at this point, I am nowhere near ready to publicly announce my choice. In fact, I will never be ready.

There is an expectation for media outlets to give, in their editorial pages, a public endorsement to their preferred candidate. However, it is my personal belief that we also have a duty, as journalists, to report the news, the facts, objectively, without influencing the way that news is perceived. I am not delusional. I know that I am not a major influential force in the community, but if my opinion affects even one other person’s opinion of a politician for the mere reason that I’m a newspaper editor, I choose to keep it to myself.

On the municipal front

We now have 12 people in the race for city councillors, including newcomers Brock Frost, Caryline Hebert, Davey Bedard, Roland Besner, Geoff Stephenson and Guy StJean. I can't wait for elections to take place! Hopefully, it will bring in some much needed new blood. But my fear is that the general population will not vote for the younger crowd and we'll end up with the same old peeps running the show. Rumor has it that we may lose our only 2 female voices on council, so I certainly hope this list will contain more female names before October. I have been asked to run myself, but as much as I would love to serve my community that way, time constraints make it a very unrealistic thing to consider. We’ll see.

For mayor, only one name stands on the list. That of the self-proclaimed gonzo journalist Jamie Gilcig.

False Alarm

We received quite a bit of emails and phone calls from people who have seen our “Seekers Choice Awards” event cancelled on facebook. KEEP CALM! The event is NOT cancelled. We simply had a duplicate on facebook for some reason and simply deleted one of them. However, in doing so, facebook mass emailed a cancellation notice to all the event guests, hence the panic. Rest assured that we are on track, our winners have now been selected, all sponsors are in place, and it will be the best Seekers Choice yet.

We are still looking for door prize donations, so if you or your business can give something, it will be truly appreciated.

“Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.”

Par ticipating teams came from schools, businesses, churches, spor ts organizations, service clubs and collections of families and friends, among others. “ We are thrilled with the turnout for this event,” said Mayor Bob Kilger. “ We asked people to help make our city look even better and the community responded in a big way. We had groups volunteering in virtually every corner of our city.” For the duration of the week, six garbage bins were placed in the Downtown and Le Village areas as drop-off points. Many people took advantage of the bins to do some spring cleaning around their homes or businesses.

The winner of the Jacques Richard Award for Top Spor ts Personality went to Kelly McGillis. “I was extremely thankful for being able to receive the award and that my hard work was being noticed and paying off ff.. It means a lot to me because I have worked ver y hard and have been through some pretty tough times and my c o a c h a l w ay s c o a c h e d m e a n d p u s h e d m e even when I was ready to give up”, explains McGillis.

Letters and a Opinions According to Bill Halman money won't fix education - It's been interesting to me over the last couple of weeks hearing from Provincial political leaders on, among other topics, education. The right wants to slash education budgets to save taxpayers money and the left wants to spend more to make education better for our kids. Money is a part of both solutions but that's the problem.

M oney!

St u d i e s s h ow t h at throwing (or taking aw ay ) m o n e y a t ( f ro m ) e d u c a t i o n doesn' t help. Our e d u c a t i o n s ys te m a b s o l u te l y n e e d s an overhaul, no doubt. But the one thing teachers keep asking for is RESPECT. Respect from the government (and school boards) that pay them. Respect from the parents that s e n d t h e i r k i d s to t h e m . I t s e e m s t h a t because they get so little respect, they demand more money in lieu.

If our political leaders would start to become more “Visionary ” with their platforms rather than “Reactionar y ” with them, more folks might star t to believe that things will get b e t te r i n e d u c a t i o n a n d a l l o t h e r f a ce t s o f our society. Telling me that “I’m going to spend here” and “I’m going to save there” isn’t inspiring. Giving me you vision of what you think education of the future will look like for my kids and grandkids that will set us apart from the rest of the world and at the same time help to ensure the viability of our future economy in Ontario/Canada… that has the potential to inspire. Perhaps it will be a future educator that will feel respected enough to care for our kids in a way that he/she will inspire our youth. Inspire them to find a way to make changes in our society that don’t need to take in account of how much money tax payers will save or cough up. We can dream.

We look forward to seeing you join our club and meeting you. With the spring weather come motorcycles on the roads again, so members of the CMC are asking all motorists to be on the look out for motorcycles on the road. Motorcycles are small and sometimes hard too see, so it’s up to the drivers of cars and trucks to take an extra hard look before pulling on to the road turning in driveways, changing lanes and at intersections. Motorcycle drivers are someones father, husband, wife, mother, brother, sister son or daughter, so please don't ruin their lives and yours because you didn't look twice for a motorcycle on the road. Lets make this summer a safe and fun summer on the road for everyone.

Meet Your Local LIBERAL CANDIDATE John Earle ...

John Earle is the Provincial Liberal Candidate for Stormont, Dundas, and South Glengarry. Earle is new to the political scene but he is no stranger to this community, having grown up, raised a family, and started a business here in Cornwall.

Earle is a local entrepreneur, business person, husband and father.

He made the decision to run for MPP because he feels strongly that we need to have a voice at Queen's Park. "It's unfortunate that we haven't moved forward at all in the past three years since the last election." stated Earle. "The role of an MPP is to serve the people of the riding first and foremost, and not buckle to Party politics." "I see so many opportunities lost over the past 3 years for S.D.S.G. and I think it's time someone acted in our best interest instead of partisan interests."

Earle will bring over 15 years of experience as a business development professional to the role. "I'm not a seasoned a politician; I'm someone who understands the importance of building relationships and maintaining those relationships moving forward. We need to focus on what we can accomplish in our riding in small measurable goals, and create wins for Ontario and our riding."

Earle believes in the leadership of Kathleen Wynne and her vision for Ontario. "I believe in Kathleen Wynne and her ability to lead this province." explained Earle "I think she's the only leader we can trust to continue improving healthcare, eliminate the deficit, and help Ontario's seniors thrive. Only Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals have a plan to grow the economy and build opportunity for middle-class families. That’s what leadership is.”

John Earle’s campaign office is located downtown Cornwall at 130 Pitt St. The phone number to get in touch with the office is (613) 932-VOTE (8683).

It is best to forgive ...

His message through all of this was “The best thing to do is forgive ...”

Also in the above photo is Don Fairweather.

This Saturday many groups will be fundraising for the Childrens Treatment Centre in the Bike-A-Thon Plus, a fun filled day with activities for all ages. Registration starts at 7:30 am at St. Lawrence College - Let’s hope the weather co-operates!

Article & photos by Carol Grant Local comic book store owner Randy Sauve from Fantasy Realm is having the time of his life! Sauve recently participated in both the Ottawa ComicCon and Toronto's first SuperFan ComicCon in the past two weeks as an exhibitor. The store, which is currently celebrating its 30th year in business here in Cornwall, has seen a steady rise in it customer base over the past few years and has taken advantage of this growth to further promote Fantasy Realm. The last time Fantasy Realm was an exhibitor in a show was in 1986.

Launched in 2012 ,the third edition of Ottawa ComicCon was held this year from May 9th t 11th and it boasted more than 38,000 visitors. For those of you not familiar with this show, it is a pop-culture fan convention that showcases celebrities, artists and products from entertainment genres such as Sci-fi, Horror, Anime, Gaming in all its forms, and of course, Comic Books. Over three days, guests were also treated to celebrity Q&A's, panels, workshops, comedy, game shows, autograph sessions, photo ops and a masquerade among other activites. The Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion was also on-hand with their Star Wars area and they raised over $12,000 for Make-A-Wish.

Fantasy Realm was not the only local presence at this year's show as many Cornwall residents were spotted in the crowd as shown here in these photos. One local resident, little Isabella Wilson, captured the hearts of many with her "R2-Tutu" costume. Ottawa Comiccon’s fourth edition will return to the EY Center from May 8 to 10, 2015. Be sure to check out the website, Facebook page and Twitter over the coming months to receive all the latest news and updates about the event.

Fantasy Realm's second appearance as an exhibitor was in Toronto for SuperFan ComicCon. This year saw the launch of this show which plans to be annual as well. Though the crowd was not quite as large as Ottawa, there was no shortage of celebrities, exhibitors or planned events. Guests and exhibitors alike used the smaller crowds to take advantage of networking, visiting with other exhibitors or getting autographs and photo ops.

Randy speaks fondly of his experience saying "There's no better time to get out there and show people that Fantasy Realm is still going strong after 30 years." Fantasy Realm has an online eBay store and ships products worldwide. Says Sauve, "Being able to represent Cornwall is an honour and I'm happy that I am able to showcase what our city has to offer to a new audience and a larger market". Having been positively influenced by one of his childhood artists, Mike Grell, Randy used the extra networking time to have a custom sketch drawn for him to add to his collection.

As for myself, I have always claimed to be a "geek" and have enjoyed comic books, sci-fi and superheroes all my life so, as both a reporter and a photographer, these two events were a dream come true. One of the highlights of SuperFan ComicCon was meeting a favourite star from my own childhood, Lou Ferrigno. In his childhood, he suffered a series of ear infections and lost a large portion of his hearing which led him to devote much time to weightlifting and bodybuilding. He overcame adversity and went on to star as "The Incredible Hulk". Ferrigno put his bodybuilding career on hold and first appeared in this late 1970's television series with Bill Bixby who became a mentor to him. He did go on to win two consecutive Mr. Universe titles. Ferrigno states he has been busy working on many projects including upcoming voicework as "The Hulk" on the Avengers movie, promoting his "Ferrigno Fit" program (www.ferrignofit.com), an upcoming fitness/bodybuilding challenge in California "Ferrigno Legacy" and work on a new child-friendly film "Bandit Hound" among other things. It was the ultimate pleasure meeting him and hearing him speak and I feel honoured to have had that chance.

Our weekend ended with an impromptu rooftop photosession of Heroes of the North stars "Hornet" and "8 Ball'. As the Toronto skyline framed the shots and our weekend ended, both Randy and I realize just how lucky we are to be able to make such new and wonderful memories.

Just as we were drifting off to sleep our daughter said ”Mummy, there’s a bear!” I was on the verge of sleep, and was going to say ”Don’t be ridiculous” thinking it was her little girl imagination, but thought I should lift my tired head to look out into the gloom. Sure enough, there was a large bear on its hind legs not 6 feet away from us! We shouted and clapped our hands together and banged some pots also. We took the dirty pots 50 feet away, and with that only precaution, went back to sleep.

Sleep comes to those who must have it, and the strenuous day contributed to our lack of concern. Morning brought sunshine, and another day in the woods, this one a lot more enjoyable.

By the time I arrived the others were under cover, had beds arranged, and dinner started. Forget the rule about not cooking close to the sleeping area! Bears? What bears? I remember we ate a huge mountain of food, using our little camp stove and pre-prepared food, listening to the rain drumming on the roof of the lean-to.

•

Don’t forget to always try to see the good in any situation…no matter how it seems impossible at the time, there is always something that will help you get through it, there is always someone there to listen,you just need to reach out…

My shop is only open on Saturdays, 9am to 4pm…812 Pitt Street, unit 40….just passed Earthway Chiropractic Clinic, on the left side, come in and see what everyone is talking about…I will welcome you with a greeting and smile I promise you that…you are always welcome in my shop….

Now, with the wind picking up, the slippery rocks on the trail, old hiking boots, and twinges of pain in my back, I was regretting my decision. Each step became a challenge. Each wet rock was a potential fall. It was getting dark. The others had gone ahead to set up things for the night. Each step brought me closer to the destination: a lean-to at Lake Colden in the Adirondack Mountains.

-Bake until most leaves are crisp, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through, 8 to 12 minutes total. (If baking a batch on just one sheet, start checking after 8 minutes to prevent burning.)

As I hiked along the trail, I noticed the clouds building up overhead. Being in the canopy of the forest, I did not notice the first drops. But soon after, the dripping began. Soon after that, the rocks on the trail became slippery. Then I noticed the familiar feeling of back pain, and this brought back the conversation we had had before leaving the house. It went like this: “You need a better pack than that”. I replied “It was an expensive pack even though it’s old, and it should be fine.”

•

-If kale is wet, very thoroughly pat dry with a clean kitchen towel; transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle the kale with oil and sprinkle with salt. Using your hands, massage the oil and salt onto the kale leaves to evenly coat. Fill 2 large rimmed baking sheets with a layer of kale, making sure the leaves don’t overlap. (If the kale won’t all fit, make the chips in batches.)

Cornwall Ontario - Bar Q is simply classy and upscale, it has a ritzy ambiance, and it is quite the eloquent gem for downtown Cornwall. The lights were dimmed, the venue was at capacity, and those seated had their taste buds tantalized by their drinks, and their ears tantalized by the sweet sounds of Melanie Brulee.

It was a special night for Melanie Brulee who returned to Cornwall to play a special set for her mother who was celebrating a birthday. Melanie is the former singer of popular Cornwall band and The General Electryk.

Congratulations Bar Q for hosting a fantastic event Saturday night!

Already there are many projects on the burner, mainly the three week exhibition at the TAG (The Art Gallery on Pitt Street) in July and the 10th year calendar and celebrations of Focus Art. The input of all of our members is always welcome. So don't be surprised if you are called upon for your opinion, participation or volunteering of time or talent.

Remember Art is the soul of the community....Let's take care.

Joe Zambon Live at The Port Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk

Cornwall Ontario - There was a youthful and energetic crowd at the Port Theatre on Saturday night to enjoy some Jesus inspired Catholic rock. Joe Zambon, born and raised in Iroquois Ontario, returned from a tour out east to play a gig at the Port Theatre in Cornwall.

The audience was clapping and singing along to many of their favourite songs. For music fans, there is more live music coming to the Port Theatre, including Sylvain Sound Presents “Persuasion” – A Tribute To Santana on May 24th.

FROM MY P ANTRY

FOOD

A DELICIOUS SUPPER It must be the Irish in me, because I just love anything to do with potatoes. Stephen McMenamin, a fellow food lover, came into my store a couple of weeks ago with a sheaf of his recipes to give to me. One of the recipes was for 'Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders and Buttermilk Smashed Potatoes'. Well, I love any chicken recipe and the potatoes were a given. So, this is your recipe for this week! Your supper will be ready in about 30 or 40 minutes. Just choose a nice vegetable to go alongside for a tasty supper. Fresh spring asparagus would be a nice choice. Thanks Stephen for caring and sharing!

STEPHEN'S HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS AND BUTTERMILK SMASHED POTATOES INGREDIENTS: 5 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into large chunks 1/2 cup honey (of course, use Sharyn's Pantry local, unpasteurized liquid honey) 1/2 cup good quality, Dijon mustard (Maille is an excellent brand) 2 lb. all-white meat, boneless, skinless chicken tenders salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 cups dry breadcrumbs canola oil, for frying the chicken tenders 1/4 cup buttermilk (buttermilk, despite the name, is a low-calorie milk with only 1% butterfat) 3 tbsp. dairy sour cream Frank's hot sauce, to taste 2 tbsp. (about a palmful) fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped 2 tbsp. (about a palmful) fresh dill weed, chopped 1 tbsp. (half a palmful) fresh chives, chopped

SHARYN THOMPSON, Owner of SHARYN’S PANTRY OPEN: Monday to Saturday - 9 to 5 812 Pitt Street, Unit 6, Cornwall, Ontario 613-936-1998

METHOD: -Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F. You will keep the cooked chicken tenders warm, once you have cooked them, on a platter in the oven.

-Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot and cover them with cold water. Cook them over medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. This will take about 20 minutes.

- While the potatoes are cooking: In a small bowl, combine the unpasteurized honey and Dijon mustard. Place the chicken tenders in a shallow dish and season them with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon the honey-mustard mixture over the chicken tenders and spread it around so each tender is thoroughly coated.

-Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish. Add the honey-mustard coated chicken tenders to the dish, one at a time, covering them completely in the breadcrumb mixture.

You can press the chicken pieces down into the crumbs to make sure that they stick to the chicken.

-In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add about 1" of canola oil. When the oil is hot, fry the crumb-coated chicken tenders until golden brown on each side and cooked through. This will take about 3 minutes frying on each side.

Don't crowd the pan. Continue frying until all of the chicken is cooked. Once cooked, place the chicken on a platter in the pre-heated oven to keep warm and crispy.

-Now the potatoes should be tender. Drain them. Mash the potatoes until nice and smooth. Add the buttermilk, sour cream and hot sauce, along with the chopped herbs. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

-Serve nice mounds of creamy potatoes alongside the crispy chicken tenders. ENJOY!

From the kitchen of KATHY SMART

Strawberry season is about to be upon us in full force! Woo hoo!

One of the Smart Peeps in my course asked if I had a jam recipe that didn't have any sugar.

To the kitchen I went! I created an amazing

1 minute Fresh Strawberry - Rhubarb Jam ( No White Sugar) for you Makes 3 cups

2 cups of strawberries, cleaned and sliced 3/4 cup of fresh rhubarb, chopped 4 Tablespoons of pure maple syrup ( you may like it sweeter pending on your taste) 4 Tablespoons of chia seeds ( you can find chia seeds in your local health food store) 3 Tablespoons of FRESH lemon juice or lime juice ( must be fresh) Strawberry and Rhubarb Add all of the above ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree for 60 seconds. If you prefer a chunkier jam- do 30 seconds or a smoother jam do for 90 seconds.

The chia seeds are crunchy but when you add liquid to them, the create a soft gel that is created with the lemon juice, strawberry juice and pure maple syrup.

Add to a jar and store in fridge overnight. Ta- Da!

The add in of the lemon juice helps to bring out the flavours AND helps to preserve the jam for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

3 Reasons to Add in Chia!

Why eat chia seeds?

Ch- ch-ch chia!

Fight Belly Fat. Chia has a blood sugar stabilizing effect and fights insulin which is tied to an increase in belly fat.

Brain Health. Chia seeds are jam packed with omega- 3 fatty acids that are imperative for brain health. Chia seeds also have a better conversion of omega 3’s than flax seeds.

Strong Bones. Chia seeds are an excellent source of highly absorbable calcium to build strong bones. An excellent non- dairy calcium source for vegans or daily intolerant. A serving of chia seeds contains 18% of your recommended daily intake of calcium.

How? Add in 1-2 Tablespoons of chia seeds to your smoothies, yogurt or your oatmeal in the am.

How do YOU like to eat chia seeds? My favourite is this jam or in my smoothies.:)

Remember… Live Life Delicious! xo Kathy

Plaisir d’É-C-R-I-R-E !

Écrire ne date pas d’hier. L’homme aurait inventé ce système, par besoin d’un aidemémoire, plus de 3000 ans av J.C. Marquant le début de l’Histoire, il laisse des traces, jadis

dans l’argile, aujourd’hui sur papier. En prenant le temps de réfléchir, en posant ce geste familier mais peu banal, notre conscience continue de s’éveiller et notre propre histoire de se révéler.

Je ne savais pas que j’aimais écrire. Parcontre, j’ai toujours aimé me retrouver à la Bibliothèque de Cornwall. Tous ses livres en français nourrissent amplement mon besoin d’apprendre et m’ont bien épaulée durant l’éducation de mes enfants. Aujourd’hui j’ai plus de temps libres, vous connaissez peut-être la publicité «Liberté 55», je peux participer à la bibliothèque aux activités offertes par

l’Amalgame. J’aimerais vous parler ici du cercle d’écriture nommé « Les Écrilibristes ». Intriguée, j’ai assisté à l’une de leur rencontre. Les membres accueillants et respectueux m’ont transmis le goût d’essayer d’écrire à mon tour. J’ai simplement alors ajouté, un plaisir de plus à ma vie! Maintenant, je crois mieux comprendre l’expression « l’Art d’Écrire ».Une page blanche c’est un peu comme une toile blanche pour un peintre. On y ressent la liberté incroyable de jouer avec les mots (couleurs) et de choisir ceux qui décrivent vraiment ce que l’on désire exprimer.

La communication est importante pour moi. Aller au fond des choses, écouter l’autre,

donné. A la fin de chaque mois, on prend le temps de s’asseoir durant deux heures, dans un local de la bibliothèque, pour savourer tous ces textes écrits, partagés librement et gratuitement sans attente sauf celle d’avoir du plaisir. Je ne savais pas que j’aimais écrire mais lorsqu’on me demande de le décrire, c’est le mot rire d’éc-RIRE que j’en retire!

La prochaine rencontre des Écrilibristes aura lieu mardi, le 27 mai à 16 h à la Bibliothèque Publique de Cornwall. Venez faire un tour!

Clair in the lead with 10 to go as Planck slipped to fourth with Rudolph in second and O’Brien in third. While running in the top 5, Bill Mullin rolled over hard and the red flag was out with 7 laps to go. On the green, Clair kept the lead over Rudolph and O’Brien as David Hebert made his way to fourth passing Planck. Clair led the last portion to win the race over Rudolph and O’Brien.

Lemire was strong in front at George Renaud was up in second and Dave Bissonnette in third as Eli Gilbert brought a third caution on lap 15. Lemire survived a few yellow flags was we got to 30 laps completed. Renaud made the bottom worked as he raced Lemire for the lead but the #115 car got away. Bissonnette used the top lane on lap 36 to pass Renaud. Lemire led the final laps and won the first series race of Bissonnette and Renaud.

Dave Bissonnette is already in a good position to repeat his 2013 title by finishing second to Stephane Lemire in last week`s event. Bissonnette will need to be consistent all year long as George Renaud, Jocelyn Roy, Marc Lalonde and Stephane Lebrun have eyes on the title also.

The Luminacorr Semi-Pro and the Mini-Stock division will be in action with 15 and 12 laps feature events.

Hi to all of you wonderful people reading this week's Seeker, Cornwall's dose of Positive and Informative news, read by more people than any other local paper.

Spring is in full bloom and everything has come alive. John and I have had the pleasure of going kayaking in the St. Lawrence area. We braved the waves that were being blown over our kayak tips to arrive at our secluded place where we were able to see Great Blue Herons with a 6 foot wing span. They truly are our modern day pteractacdyls with their wild cawing as they fly away. It is a wonderous sight to behold. We had a picnic whilst floating in our kayaks seeing huge fins of carp flipping in the distance. We traveled on down the meanderous stream, catching sights of flowers along the banks, seeing birds flitting from branch to branch searching for lunch or a bunch of grass to lay in it's nest.

•

I hope that you are getting out and about to take in the beautious sights in and around Cornwall's streets and avenues.

Cornwall is beautiful at this time of year and it's nice to walk about and see all of the different stores along Pitt Street and Montreal Rd., for example, the new family restaurant, Kassy's Pub. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the weekend John and I went there to taste their fare. We were pleasantly surprised to have friendly service

by Kassy herself and the breakfast that we ordered was delicious. Mike Labelle and his daughter, Kassy, have just opened at the o l d Remington's location on Montreal Rd. When you're looking for a place to go eat some delicious and well presented food, try Kassy's Pub.

On our holiday weekend John and I traveled to Neo Furniture Garage Sale at the junction of Center Road and the 138. We picked up a few "unique treasures" whilst chatting with one of the owners Guy. We drank cold drinks and enjoyed eating some delicious pizza from the restaurant right next door.

•

Tip of the week: When walking around town shopping, be aware of the sun, and prepare by wearing appropriate clothing, and perhaps a hat and even some sun screen. This will prevent some unexpected sunburn from sneaking up on you. Of course, when you're at the beach or in your back yard, also keep aware of the first sunnings of the season, until you have a base tan to protect you from burning as easily. Happy Sunny.

ORGANIZING A GARAGE AND GARDEN SHED PART 2&3 OF 3 Organization And Maintenance Advices

• Store stinky items in one place, finding a place for them is necessary. Pare down what you do not need and create a cupboard/shelving space for them. Doors are important for this shelving to keep the odours from spreading. Ensure there are no chemicals that could be toxic when mixed.

Reduce odours in the cupboard by placing a box of baking soda on a shelf.

• Maintain the freshness. There are a few ways to freshen the garage once you successfully eliminate the odours. If you have a problem with critters coming in you can scatter mothballs at any possibly entry point, these will also scent your garage. Try opening the door a few times a week for an hour or more to let the fresh air in. The more time you spend in your garage doing daily tasks the less it will smell like garage and the more it will smell like home. If you are determined to give your garage a homey-scent, try brewing your coffee in your garage once or twice a week.

• Ensure to install adequate lighting with easily accessible light switches.

• For extra space, try to get things up off of the floor. Install hooks for hanging bicycles and tools. Put up or use existing shelves and cabinets to store what belongs in the garage.

• If you like to tinker with cars and bikes, or love working with wood, you can set up your garage as an effective workshop.

• Use large, stackable, clear plastic bins for small items such as craft supplies or hand tools, and label each container.

• Buy lockable bins to store valuable or dangerous items.

• Attach shelves or cabinets to your garage walls, or put up free standing units.

• If your garage is barely big enough for the car, hang shelves on all three walls, above car-roof height.

• If you are really limited for space, parking your car in the right position can be a challenge. Try bolting a 2" by 4" to the floor as a tire stop, or hang a tennis ball from the ceiling so it just hits your windshield when you‘re perfectly positioned.

them for easier maintenance. Categories:

• garden power tools - things with electric or gasoline motors - and accessories, • garden tools, long handled and short handled, • stakes and plant supports, • watering equipment, • soil and fertilizer, grass seed, lime - the items should be bagged, • plastic and wood pots and planters, • non-gardening or seasonal stuff, • outdoors Christmas decorations, • bikes and toys, • pool toys, • sports equipment, and • plastic garbage bags.

• Keep all the garden power tools, extension cords, and gas cans together.

• Store twine, rope, stakes, and other plant supports together.

• Store weed killers, fertilizer, and other lawn chemicals on shelves on the far wall.

• Label bins listing the contents. Label everything that can be labelled, e.g., containers, pegs, nails, and hooks, ensuring everyone in the family can return items to the right place every time they get used.

• Use shelving along the back wall of the shed for containers and small items.

• Install hooks on opposing walls, and leave room for large containers on the floor.

• Install shelving and hooks for hanging long tools, hoses, rope, cords. You can also use sheets of peg board and pegs.

• Use planters for small storage.

• Use larger pots and containers for small trowels and shovels, or mulch materials such as bark, sawdust or small stones.

• Keep practical things within easy access to the door, for example, the snow blower, lawnmower, garden tools and bicycles.

• Remix potting soil, and have it ready for the next year.

Marie can be reached at 613-936-6873 www.workeasysolution.com

• First remove everything, meaning empty the garage completely. While taking everything out sort through everything using bins with the labels: ‘Garbage', for broken things and other garbage; and ‘Sell’ or ‘Donate’. Group things together outside by category, e.g., Auto Repair, Sports, Boating, Camping Gear, etc. See also garden shed categories below.

Execution

• Hang bikes on hooks from the ceiling along the side of the garage, or over the hood of your car. Install a floor to ceiling bike rack if you're storing bikes for the whole family.

• Hang rakes, brooms, shovels, folding lawn chairs and other flat items on the walls.

• Keep gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, and any other flammable items in locked cabinets and in well ventilated storage areas separated from the house, if possible store them in a garden shed.

• Store the heaviest items on the bottom shelves.

• If you keep your car in the garage, lay a doormat next to where your car door is when you’re parked. Now you can wipe your feet when you get in or out of the car.

• Put another mat by the door from the garage to your house, and wipe your feet each time you come in.

GARDEN SHED Every spring, empty everything out of the shed. Sheds come in all sizes so use common sense.

• Make three piles: one for things you’ll keep, one for throw away, and one for items to be serviced, repaired, or sharpened. Gardening tools and lawnmower blades should be sharpened every year.

• Donate or discard old items which have not been used for more than one year.

• Throw away right away the garbage pile.

• Organize the "Keep pile" into categories and choose bins of the same size and stack

City of Cornwall, Transition Cornwall+ host Commuter Challenge

The City of Cornwall and Transition Cornwall + Active Transportation Action Group are joining together to host the national Commuter Challenge during Canadian Environment Week.

From June 1st to June 7th, residents are encouraged to leave their cars at home and take advantage of the environmental and health benefits of alternative modes of transportation all while competing against other cities across Canada.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Commuter Challenge gives us a chance to recognize and celebrate the great network of bike lanes, sidewalks and recreational paths that we have in Cornwall,â&#x20AC;? said Chantal Lalonde, Health Educator / Promoter with the Eastern Ontario Health Unit and a founding member of the Transition Cornwall + Active Transportation Action Group.

The challenge rewards participants for using active and alternative modes of transportation like walking, cycling, rollerblading, carpooling or using public transit. Once registered, participants are asked to log each sustainable commute made during the week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be it for work or leisure purposes.

Participants who complete a minimum of three commutes during the week will be eligible to win some great prizes from Bicycle World, Total Cyclery & Sports and Cornwall Transit.

Cornwall Transit will be making it easy for residents to participate in the Commuter Challenge. The City-run transit service will be offering free rides all day on Wednesday, June 4th as part of its 7th annual Clean Air Day promotion. Residents will be able to ride the bus for free all day long, and the trips can count towards participation in the Commuter Challenge.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance for residents to try our affordable and reliable service first-hand, free of charge,â&#x20AC;? said Len Tapp, Transit Manager.

Pictured (left to right) are Linda Varga of Cornwall Transit and John Towndrow and Chantal Lalonde of Transition Cornwall +.

To date, nearly 1,000 workplaces and 3,000 individuals across Canada have registered to participate in the Commuter Challenge. For more info on the event or to participate, please visit www.Cornwall.ca or log on to www.commuterchallenge.ca and register yourself or your business and select â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Cornwallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as your participating city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraging local businesses to get on board with the event and make it a fun activity within the workplace with internal competitions and prizes,â&#x20AC;? added Mrs. Lalonde.
