THE WORM KIDS WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY ARE BACK IN BUSINESS As opposed to the rumour being spread around by who knows who, competitors maybe, the Worm Kids, who gained national attention last year when the city enforced a bylaw prohibiting them to advertise their business via a sign on their property, are back at it. Kristopher, Kristina and Clayton Cadieux want their clients to know that they are not going anywhere. They are back in full force and are gearing towards the best worm season ever! This year, the young entrepreneurs even plan to donate part of their proceeds to a charitable organization, possibly the Children's Treatment Centre. What a fine example of kindness, initiative and ambition. So if you need worms, you know what to do!

PERSONAL GOOD NEWS I know this is not a blog and I don't normally take this space to speak about myself in details. I do sometimes give personal examples that pertain or relate to the particular topic at hand, but I try to stay away from making this a Julia thing. I raise questions, on mainstream topics and aim at making you, the reader, react. This week is different. The last 3 months have been really, really hard on me. My health has been an issue and I was worried that something was seriously wrong. Symptoms pointed to possibility of cancer and, well, I was terrified. I kept having this horrible vision where the world goes on without me and where I don't get to see my kids grow up. It got me awfully depressed. The mind is a terrible thing. I tried to stay away from negative thinking but with the symptoms not subsiding, I found myself getting in a deeper and darker hole and resiliently accepting the eventualities. People started to notice: I had lost passion. What was the point if it would all end anyway?

having any reason to act like my days were numbered, I acted like they were. Once I consciously realized that, I forced myself to get out if it! I started taking better care of myself and counting my blessings. Then, something magical happened. The symptoms stopped. Today, I'm happy to report the many MRIs, biopsies, smears, blood test I took within the last 2 months all returned normal, except for one thing that came back abnormal but insignificant I still don't know why my symptoms happened, but at least I know what it's not and it's definitely NOT the big C. I am worry free. So as I sit here, I am, again, counting my blessings. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I'm glad I live in a country that allows me to be preventative. I am blessed. I really feel for the many who have to sit in the doctor's office to receive bad news. I got a glimpse of what that feels like and my heart goes out to all of them.
Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death.
Put simply, I was feeling sorry for myself. Without even

Co r n wal l Rad i o Vet er an Su e St ewar t An n o u n ces Ret i r em en t fr o m Co r u s Rad i o ?s Fr esh 1 0 4 .5 FM Cornwall, ON ? Corus Radio?s Fresh 104.5 FM Local radio veteran Sue Stewart delivered her final Fresh Mornings broadcast today, Friday, April 8. A friendly and familiar voice and personality to listeners across the Cornwall community, Stewart has decided to leave the broadcasting industry in order to pursue new opportunities after 20 successful years on the air.?We are certainly going to miss Sue here at Fresh 104.5 FM,? said Bill Halman, Program Director, 104.5 Fresh Radio. ?This is the end of a great chapter in Cornwall radio. Sue has been entertaining our community for close to two decades. Many listeners consider her a friend and will certainly miss getting their days started with her.? A native of Finch, Ontario, Sue?s strong connection to her community allowed for an even stronger connection with her listeners. In 10 years she has become a beloved morning fixture of Corus Radio Cornwall. For the past six years, Sue has shared mornings with on-air partner Jimmy Kalaitzis, hosting Fresh Mornings with Jimmy and Sue, which was ranked the # 1 radio show in the market in the most recent 2016 fall ratings. ?Sue has done much more than host a morning show in Cornwall, she has helped shape this community,? adds Halman. ?From sharing the nuances of her family life on the air, to the charity work she immerses herself in, and to the numerous events she hosts and MCs week after week, there are few that commit themselves the way Sue has. We truly wish her the best.? (Cornwal l ) ?

The Grade 7 students won an all-expenses paid trip to the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Montreal May 15-20, after their project Salt vs. Ice was selected as the top junior project at the 41st Annual United Counties Science Fair, hosted at St. Lawrence Secondary School in Cornwall. The pair overcame daunting odds. About 500,000 Canadian students complete science fair projects each year in Canada, with only 500 advancing to national competition. The intermediate students? project tested the efficiency of various salts from ?fast-melt? to table salt in melting ice. Through the scientific process the pair evaluated each formulation?s effectiveness in melting ice for different lengths of time. They proved that fast-melt was best for a short period, but basic table salt works best for longer periods of 30-40 minutes. Another big winner at the fair was the team of Viscount Alexander Public School students Vincent Jean-Louis and Aum Shah. The pair?s experiment, Solar Powered AA Battery Charger won the Ontario English Catholic Teachers?Association Trophy for best atom project. They collected a variety of other hardware including: the St.
Lawrence College Technology and Trades Trophy for best in physical science; the Ontario Power Generation Trophy for best in energy; the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Trophy for best in applied science; the Manufacturing Process Integration Quality Control Trophy for best in electronics, electricity, electrical engineering and/ or related technology, and an Outstanding Research Award Certificate ($200 prize).

Thanks to a local artist, patients attending the new Cornwall Hospital Chemotherapy Unit can enjoy a beautiful piece of artwork. Jason Sauve, of Cornwall, worked in nursing for several years before transitioning to a full time artist. When asked what the inspiration was for his ?tree of hope?, he explained that it symbolizes inspiration and strength. ?I wanted to portray a warm bright healing sense. To see something bright and colourful can literally shift a person?s day!? affirms Jason. ?What a lovely addition to our Chemotherapy Unit. We hope it does brighten the day of those visiting the unit, for years to come,? declares Jeanette Despatie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cornwall Hospital. The Chemotherapy unit at Cornwall Hospital has begun treating patients with genitourinary (which affect the urinary tract) and lung cancers and with experience and proficiency the services will expand to other cancer types.

HUDSO N Devel oping Your ?Psychic? Abil it ies Wit h Energy Heal ing
With the nature of my work, I am quite often asked if I am psychic. I will often answer ?yes? to that question but will always add that everyone else is also ?psychic? and that we all have these natural gifts and abilities. We should replace the word ?psychic? with ?intuitive? since we all have our own intuition. I guess the word ?psychic? appeals to more people though since it often creates visions of mysterious, powerful abilities. But, it can also take us out of our own personal power and sovereignty, looking instead to someone else for the answers that are really inside each of one us all the time.
A W O RLD IN BALANCE
There are many different types of intuition that we can develop, but the four most common ones are what we call ?The Clairs.? These include clair-voyance, clair-sentience, clair-audience and clair-cognition. We all have at least one of these natural abilities and determining which one or ones are yours is as simple as determining how you learn and process information. If I were to say, ?The cat climbed up
Co unte ss
the tree?, take a moment to determine how you processed that. If you saw the cat and the tree, then you?re clair-voyant which means to see. If you felt the cat, imagined how soft its fur is or perhaps felt love or emotion for the cat, then you?re clair-sentient, which means to feel. If you heard the cat?s claws digging into the tree or perhaps heard it meow, then you?re clair-audient which means to hear. And finally, if you just knew the cat was in the tree, without having to see, feel or hear it, then you are clair-cognitive, which means to just know something. Perhaps you had a combination of two or three of these. As you do your own personal healing work, clearing out negative, limiting belief systems, dropping wounds, fears and opening up to your true self, all of your ?clairs? will become apparent to you and then in turn strengthened. In our school, as you heal while learning how to be a healer, we watch our students awaken to their true selves and their beautiful gifts of intuition. A strong intuition is a very valuable gift and a huge asset for the energy healer and for anyone in general. Being able to navigate through life, connected to your inner knowing, being able to receive messages through a clear energetic system will ensure a life lived with passion and purpose. Next week, I?ll be introducing the chakra system, what it is and how it works. Until next time. To f ind out more about what we do, who we are, what we t each and any upcoming workshops and cl asses, pl ease visit our websit e at www.awakeningangel s.ca.
INSECTIDES/ PESTICIDES ANDSPRAYED OVER OUR FOODS, LANDS AND WATERS.
TRO TTIER-TRO TZIER Lately I have been hearing how ill health such as heart problems, cancer, arthritis and other ailments exist because it is a family's genetic disorder and it runs in the family! Someone I know very well underwent an open-heart operation and she was told that her problem was due to a family history of heart problems. Since I know the family members she was referring to, and her own habits, I made her realize that: If you are ill, let not yourself be diagnosed bytheillusion that it's because of genetics! As we continued to sit together, I got her permission to ask her questions which would prove that if she had a severe heart problem - it was because of her lack of eating discipline and other factors - and - it had nothing to do with her family's genes. I asked her: 'How many years did you smoke: poisonous nicotine and inhaled poisonous carbon dioxide/ monoxide from cigarettes?" She answered: "Many years." I asked her to be explicit. "Fifteen years!" she admitted.
Decades before Health Canada started to admit that smokingcigarettes can destroy a person's health, many independent researchers had alreadydiscovered the TRUTH and attempted to inform the people to quit smoking. They had researched the subject and found out the reasons why in the mid-1950's and onward men and women were dying from lung cancer, throat cancer, heart diseases. They had found the causes for these increasing ill healths and the causes were in many cases the nicotine inhaled from cigarettes,plusthe carbon monoxide/ dioxide, plus the many other laboratory-made compounds (over 3,000). Yes, they realized that such poisons as cigarettes with their tarnished chemicals and nicotine would cause Individuals to become ill. After all, they, and some of us who are aware of the situation, know that the human body needs to receive (inhale) OXYGEN --AND NOT CARBON MONOXIDE/ DIOXIDE; in addition, upon checking not only dictionaries, but also the pesticide background of NICOTINE ... the TRUTH WAS RIGHT THERE: NICOTINE IS A DEADLY POISON; IT IS OFTENUSEDBY THE AGRI-CHEMICAL CORPORATIONSTO KILL INSECTS AND IS ADDED TO
Then, I asked my friend, "What are your favorite foods?" She replied, "I like french fries. And chips, soft drinks, dough nuts." I asked her, "What nutrients are found in soft drinks?" Blank! she didn't know. Had she done her research, instead of allowing a doctor to blame her family members' genetics, she would have discovered that SOFT DRINKS HAVE NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE = NONEAT ALL! FURTHERMORE AS WITH THE DOUGH NUTS THEYCONTAIN A LOT OF PROCESSED WHITE SUGAR WHICH HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF NOT ONLY FERMENTING IN THE BODY (like the sugar in wine ferments), but IT ALSO REMOVES MANY NEEDED MINERALS. When the body becomes overloaded with junk, the heart cannot function well since it does not have the essential nutrients and thus = heart problems = illness. This type of personal research should be done by everyone before going"downh-ill". I have a motto: PERFECT HEALTH IS OUR DIVINE RIGHT! We were created to enjoy perfect healthbecause AN ALL PERFECT SOURCE CREATED US AND GAVE US ALLTHE HERBS, PLANT FOODS, FRESH WATERS, NOURISHING SOILS, MINERALS, SUNLIGHT, EVENING DARKNESS, SEASONS, AND PURE (NON-GMO) SEEDS SO THAT WE CAN BE HEALTHY. If ill health exists, it is because of many factors. Such as for cancer! When these words are uttered after years of being repeated by the mass media:'We have to find the Cure!' ... I wonder who they are trying to mislead! First, there is no single cure for cancer and there is no silver bullet! Cancer and ot her modern diseases that are affecting millions of people in Canada and the United States, including other countries, can be prevented: ONLY WHEN YOU THE INDIVIDUAL DECIDE ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE AND DESIRE FOR WELLBEINGNESS TO START FINDING THE CAUSES FOR YOUR ILL HEALTH! TRUST THE INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS, INCLUDING THE HOLISTICHERBALISTS WHO HAVE LEARNED THE HEALING WISDOMS PASSED ON TO THEM FROM THEIR ANCESTORS GOING BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS.Yet, because of the mass programming of the left brain, the modern, man-made laboratorymethodsand their drugs,with very little testing, are being blindly accepted! Remember the potato message: BE LIKE THE POTATO AND OPEN UP YOUR EYES TO THE TRUTHS.

Loca l concer t pr omoter , Jeff Br unet, (seen left) of Alka line Enter ta inment, ha s been wor king ha r d to step up the Cor nwa ll music scene by br inging some gr eat ba nds to our Seaway city.
M y new thing is painting actually! I star ted that after having left M ontr eal to live in the countr y (M ont Tr em blant) and quickly pr ogr essed to a pr ofessional standar d. Other ar tists ar ound the ar ea (m ostly M ontr eal expats them selves) took notice and invited m e to join in tw o differ ent collectives w hich I help r un in the for m of tw o ar t galler ies near the ski and golf r esor t. Although painting is r elatively new to m e, I found the w hole fr am e of m ind and pr ocess to be exactly the sam e as that r equir ed to w r ite songs. And as w ith The Box, I keep changing subjects and explor ing new styles as I go. Just Google m e up and check it out!
Jeff, w ho has been in the m usic scene for 25 year s, star ted off as a r oadie and then m oved to Ottaw a w her e he booked bands for a bar called Bar r ym or e's. It w asn't long befor e Jeff r ealized that he could star t booking bands for his ow n venues and he has been ver y busy "pow er ing up" events in Cor nw all over the last few m onths. I know as I design all his poster s and tickets and m ust say that I enjoy w or king w ith him and also getting to know the bands that he pr om otes.

I'll tell you w hat: take five differ ent "exper ts", put them in a r oom and ask them how to be successful in today's m usic business and you'll get five differ ent if not dow nr ight contr adictor y answ er s. Nobody know s how this ever changing business w or ks anym or e. But tw o things haven't changed: getting along w ith a gr oup of people and w r iting a song that'll appeal to people's hear t. Those have been the sam e ever since the daw n of tim es! And Youtube is full of good advice by songw r iter s w ho w ill pr ovide tips on how to w r ite a solid tr ack .

Our ver y fir st guitar player cam e up w ith the idea of calling us The Box and I kind of liked the myster y aspect of it, like an old box tucked aw ay in an attic full of sur pr ises.... You never knew w hat you w ould find in that box!

The sam e applies to us r eally in that w e alw ays com e up w ith unexpected stuff both m usically and lyr ically. One song w ould r ecount a m ur der stor y (L'affair e Dum outier / Say To M e) and the next w ould be an obser vation on ever yday life (Or dinar y People) and another yet w ould sim ply be an up-lifting tr ack (Closer Together ) and so on... That's w hy I alw ays thought the best w ay to descr ibe our m usic w as to call it "Radio Pop" since all of these tr acks and m any other s becam e instant r adio hits.

The actual band m em ber s ar e the second incar nation of The Box and have been the sam e people since 2004 (12 year s alr eady!!) I'm the only sur viving or iginal m em ber of the band! I've m et them all w hile w or king the M ontr eal scene at differ ent levels, be it the adver tising w or ld (I w r ote in excess of 400 jingles since 1996) or the studio session com m unity w her e som e of them oper ated on a r egular basis. This actual line-up is the steadiest The Box has ever been. Back in the '80s, m usicians kept com ing in and out, som e of them having difficulties coping w ith the constant tour ing and all... We ar e now six on stage:
W h at sh ou l d m u si c l over s i n Cor n w al l ex pect t o h ear an d see w h en t h ey com e t o see you per f or m at La M ai son on Sat u r day, Apr i l 23r d? Ha ha! W hy all the old hits of cour se!! And new er m ater ial too in the fir st half of the show... One thing is for sur e: once this par ty gets going, ther e's no looking back! And believe m e, this band is a ton of fun to w atch live as w e've been honing this show for the last 12 year s!
Fr anรงois Br uneau; guitar s Dan Volj; bass M ar tin Lapier r e; dr um s Guillaum e Jodoin; keys Isabelle Lem ay; vocals and myself...

All in a 10 year per iod is quite a feat! But it also took it's toll by squeezing ever y dr op out of that lem on to an exhausted br eakup in 1992. Refor m ing the gr oup in 2004 (w ith 3 album r eleases since) w as also a m ajor challenge given the ever changing natur e of the r ecor d business. But w e do it for entir ely differ ent r easons now , fun being the m ain m otivation for us. We'r e out of the r at r ace now and have no intentions to get back in; so w hile I have no plans for futur e r ecor dings yet, the door is never closed either.

SAUVE Tax Tip 10 A lot of people think or are told and believe that they can deduct the expenses they incurred during the course of their employment (uniforms, safety boots, First Aid courses, parking etc.). The truth is that none of these can be claimed on your income tax return. Schedule 1 already provides individuals with the Canada Employment Amount in the amount of $1146 which means that if you earned $1146 or more in income, you are already claiming $1146 in Employment Expenses. Transportation Employees (Truckers & Railway workers), Tradespersons who have to buy their own tools and employees required to use their vehicles or a home office as part of their contract may be entitled to claim Employment Expenses. However, in order to claim Employment Expenses, your employer must also complete form T2200 attesting to the fact that you do have to pay these expenses as part of your contract. Motor Vehicle Expenses are the most popular Employment Expenses but there are very strict guidelines that must be followed in order to do so. An employee must keep logs of every single kilometre they claim as an employment expense, keep all receipts (gas, maintenance, insurance, licensing) and must take odometer readings on the first and last day of each year. This is a non-negotiable obligation if you wish to claim Motor Vehicle Expenses. You also must NOT have received reasonable reimbursements for the motor vehicle expenses (for 2015, Revenue Canada considers reasonable reimbursements as 54 cents for the first 5,000km and 48 cents for the remainder ergo average 51 cents per km) from your employer.

VALADE Heal t hy f amil ies st art wit h heal t hy eat ing. W hen you think of healthy eating w ith the push fr om today?s society it?s easy to get caught up in it, think it?s too expensive or com plicated. ?No gluten!? ?Or ganic is best!? And as tr ue as these ar e, not ever yone can buy the $5 loaf of br ead that is gluten fr ee or has the tim e to m ake it, and not ever yone can affor d all or ganic foods in the super m ar ket. Th e i m por t an t t h i n g i s t h at you get you r m i n i m u m r equ i r em en t s an d eat r eal f ood! Eat act u al f r u i t s an d veggi es! Want to know an easy w ay to do it that is low cost? Gr ow your ow n fr uits and veggies! People often for get the im por tance of getting r eal ? not pr ocessed or sw eetened or canned and salted ? foods in their diet. It?s sim ple, easy, and does not need to cost a lot. I t t ak es 5 m i n u t es t o t h r ow a si m pl e gar den sal ad t oget h er , you can choose the item s you enjoy, top it how ever you like, then you can eat it for lunch w ith chicken, or as a side w ith steak at dinner. You can add som e pepper s and gr een onions to your m or ning eggs, or apples and bananas in your cer eal. Put som e pickles or spinach on your sandw ich and thr ow an or ange in your w or k bag. It?s that easy! And you can do it w hen eating out too. Ask for a salad or fr uit on the side w ith your m eal instead of those fr ies! Veggi es can gr ow an yw h er e. Your ow n back yar d! Pots on your w indow ! Have a cem ent or stone yar d? Tr y checking out w ooden slate gar dening. Have a balcony and no actual yar d to gr ow in? Build a gr ow box or put planter s ar ound the edges, put hanging pots in your w indow s. I had a planter in my w indow one year for gr een onions, and it w as the best year I've had for them .
An im por tant thing to note is even if you gr ow your ow n, you should still at least r inse them off befor e you eat them . W hite vinegar is a gr eat thing you can add to som e w ar m w ater to help clean off fr uits and veggies, and it also helps them to last longer. Don't alw ays have tim e to cut, r inse, etc? Plan a day once a w eek to buy, cut, w ash and put aw ay all your veggies and lar ger fr uits in single por tions, and buy fr uits like bananas and apples that r equir e not pr ep. I h ave f ou r easy t i ps f or gr ow i n g a gar den , n o m at t er w h er e you deci de i t w i l l go. Believe in your skills as a gar dener. You need to know you can do this! Follow the r ecom m endations on the back of the seeds or the label of the plant. Water , feed, and love your plants. You don?t need big fancy expensive soils or feeds. I star ted gr ow ing a potato plant in my kitchen in M ar ch one year. Just plain black soil, in a hanging basket! By M ay it w as about 6 inches high on the stock and lots of r oots! And don?t be discour aged if you do not do w ell the fir st tim e. Tr y again! Don ?t f or get t h e su n an d t h e w at er .
SCHEDULE
Place your plants in an ar ea that has lots of sunlight. Water it daily, but not in the hottest par t of the day. I like to do it in the m or ning, or in the evening w hen ther e is still sunlight but not over pow er ing sunlight. W hen I m oved last, w e tilled a spot I thought w ould be gr eat for a gar den. But on obser vation, the ar ea did not get a lot of sun. In fact 3/4 of the day it w as shaded by a fence and shed. So w e tilled a new ar ea last year , r ight in the back, and in the sun! It w as a spot intended for flow er s but the food gr ew ver y w ell. We planted a tom ato plant that gr ew over 7ft tall! As w ell as a cauliflow er , cucum ber s, pepper s and a few other things. The str aw ber r ies w e planted in the other tilled spot, not so m uch! Pu t over pow er i n g pl an t s f ar aw ay f r om each ot h er . The fir st year I did my ow n gar den, I lear ned a valuable lesson. Don?t out over pow er ing plants close to each other ! I m ade the m istake of lum ping cucum ber s and squashes together. The cucum ber s totally took over the squash plants, gr ew over them . I had cucum ber s for m onths. M y pepper s, tom atoes and other veggies did w ell? but my poor squash? not so m uch. I think I only got one! So spr ead them out, put plants that gr ow up instead of out betw een them . M ak e i t f u n ! Get the fam ily involved in it. Get younger childr en to help w ith putting seeds and bulbs in the gr ound, or help hold the hose w hen you w ater. Get older childr en to help dig holes and allow them to w ater on their ow n. Get ever yone involved in the gr oom ing M ake it a gam e, see w ho can get the m ost w eeds in a pile. Talk to the childr en about how these plants w ill soon tur n into food they can eat! Get them to help pick it w hen it?s r eady and w ash ever ything off. And then m ake a yum my salad they can help eat!

Concl usion: Best Pract ices f or Comput er Securit y If you have been following this series about computer and software security, you've learned about ransomware and socially engineered exploits. A healthy dose of paranoia and some common sense can go a long way to keeping your computer secure. Computer hardware and software companies like Apple, Microsoft, HP, Dell and others are not likely to call you to let you know that there is something wrong with your computer. Hang up on these posers and don't click on the false virus alerts.
Try to stay on websites that are known to be safe and secure. Although reputable sites can be hacked, they are also the most likely to be properly safeguarded against being hacked. Hover your curser over a link before clicking to make sure it refers to the proper destination. Enable the pop-up blocker in your browser, disable stored passwords, erase your browsing history after every session online and reduce your browser cache to 50MB Ensure that your operating system, browser and any other software you use (Adobe Reader, Flash, Java, etc) is either up-to-date or removed, depending on your needs. Install some good security software. Ther are several free products available such as Avast! Free Antivirus, AVG Free Antivirus and Zone Alarm Personal Firewall. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to remove some infections and CCleaner to help proactively remove potential problems. There are paid programs such as BitDefender Total Security and Kaspersky Total Security; and if you have valuable data paying for one of these programs makes sense. Installing and properly configuring a highly rated computer system security program should
help keep your equipment secure. Do some research and find the best product for your needs. E-mail security is also important. One way to do that is to have a web-based e-mail provider like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or a similar service. These large firms have all implemented different types of viruses scanners. The incoming email and outgoing emails are scanned for infections, but typically only check for viruses. Regardless of which e-mail client you use (Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail, etc) it is important that the preview mode is turned off. If an e-mail is automatically loaded, there is the odd chance that malicious code can automatically install a virus or other type of malware. Do not allow for automatic downloading or opening of attachments. Scan all attachments and don't open e-mails from people you don't know. Remember the "I love you" virus? It spread via e-mail and affected over 45 million computers. It can be considered one of the world's most dangerous computer related disasters as it cost over 5 billion in damages worldwide. Set your e-mail client software to its highest security setting and if you have antivirus or system security software, enable any e-mail scanning feature it may have. Do not open e-mails from people you don't recognize. Although your web mail service provider may scan your e-mails for infections, you should also employ tight security processes to ensure that you are not compromised. Yes, ensure that your e-mail client is up-to-date. You will also want to ensure that your Internet gateway - either your modem or router - is secure. Go towww.grc.com/ shieldsup and run their tests. If you fail the tests, read their explanations. If you are not comfortable with their suggestions, you can contact your local trusted computer professional and have them help you harden your equipment against being exploited.
Next week: Sel ect ing your next comput er.

BEHIND THE SCENES of t he Focus Art exhibit ion at Cornwal l Square
The public is also involved by casting a vote for their preferred art piece.
If you have ever volunteered to put on a play, a concert or an art exhibition, you have a good idea of what goes on before the curtain goes up. To the eye of the observer it might seem a bit chaotic. This perception is usually false; as in all art presentations there is a procedure in place to help get the job done.
When hosting an art exhibition, as Focus Art has for the past 12 years, many lessons have been learned and the teams get better at it every time. The installation of more than 90 pieces of art begins with strong leadership. Louise Mignault and Julia Lucio, vice-presidents of the Association, accepted the challenge with brio. The team clinched a partnership with Cornwall Square for space and with YAC (Your Arts Council) for the cost of required insurance. A partnership with several community sponsors permitted the leaders to finance publicity, equipment and the drawing of Pierre Giroux?s magnificent painting. Primarily, success depends on the collaboration of many volunteers equally avid to put on a great show. Louise and Julia, through excellent communication skills, saw to publicity and the maintenance of the standards set by previous shows all the while adding their own signature. Was it always smooth? Is any event perfect? I hear that?s the fun of it all; excitement, humour and the creativity to solve problems. Just crazy fun!
I peaked in at the exhibit before the Vernissage (opening) on April 8th. The show is like a breath of fresh air. Very well done. I strongly encourage you to take the time to explore local art at the Cornwall Square the weekend of April 8 and 16. Just a thought. Isn?t this proof that Cornwall and SDG need a centre for the arts? I look around and there is so much talent to be discovered. We are all looking forward to the results of the Feasibility Study for a Center for the arts coming soon.
Hanging commit t ee set t ing up t he exhibit ion.
The actors in such an endeavour are too many to name here. However one cannot ignore the hard work of Elaine Arkwright as treasurer, responsible for intake of the artwork, finances, information for labelling and the precious care of every art piece until all was hung. She organised an efficient team that made the process professional and good fun.

M ACDO NALD Are You Sure You Want To Be A Landl ord? Part 1 of 3 So, you?ve heard some people talking about all the money they make from their rental properties and think it?s a good idea for you too! It might be? or it might not be! Being a landlord is more than sitting back to watch your bank account grow. Here are some of the topics that you need to consider before you leap into the world of rental income properties with 4 doors or less (properties with more than 4 doors have different rules): First , you need t o f ind t he right propert y. Falling in love with a rental property is not an option. Only the numbers are relevant when choosing a property. Write yourself a little spreadsheet to calculate what your net income will be. You need to assume that

any given rental unit will be empty for at least one month of every year. In Cornwall, usually tenants are easy to find but that is not a guarantee. If you can?t afford to pay for a rental unit while it?s empty? . Then, it?s not the right property for you. Sometimes you inherit tenants with a property. More about tenants later but please be aware that if a tenant has a lease a new owner cannot just raise their rent or cannot evict (even if the landlord wants to move in). Carefully screen the tenants and consider their current rents. Also, confirm whether utilities are included in the rent. An easy way to verify the monthly costs of the utilities is to call the Utility and ask how much the equal billing would be on that unit/ building. I recommend always putting utilities on equal billing and pre-authorized payment to reduce the number of hours you have to spend on running your rental properties. Second, you need t o purchase t hat propert y. The down payment minimum required to purchase a rental property is 20% (and with most lenders 25% ). Some lenders will also charge a higher interest rate for a rental property. There are other costs incurred when you purchase a rental property such as an appraisal (Cost will be between $300 - $600 depending on the number of doors), legal fees, work order searches, title insurance, land transfer taxes, etc. You will need to speak to your lawyer about other costs that are involved in purchasing a multi-residential building.
