On Vacat ion

DIDYOU KNOW?

Just a note to let you know that I'm having a fabulous time on vacation.

So far, we've visited Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas and are now visiting family for a week in San Antonio.

On the way back, we'll see Atlanta, Washington DC and Altantic City.

Our little troublesome trailer is holding on, we've almost lost a few parts on the way, but so far, so good.

I can't remember the last time I've taken a whole month vacation, if ever, but I'm sure enjoying it.

Don't miss my article in September relating our adventures! Till then, enjoy the end of the summer!

OTTAWA SENATORS HOMETOWN TOUR TO VISIT MORRISBURG ONTARIO Local hockey fans might be disappointed to learn that the Ottawa Senators Hometown Tour series doesn?t have a Cornwall Ontario date scheduled at press time. The Hometown Tour series which began in 2014, visited Cornwall Ontario in both 2014 and 2015. Die-hard Sens fans can still meet some of their favourite players at the Morrisburg Canadian Tire on Tuesday, August 30th, 2016. The Morrisburg event is scheduled to take place between 1:45pm and 5:15pm, and the autograph session will take place from 3:45pm to 4:45pm. There will be a wristband policy in effect for autographs.

Wristbands will be limited and available in a first-come basis at the customer service desk of the Morrisburg Canadian Tire store at 8am the morning of the event. The Ottawa Senators will announce which players are visiting closer to the date. Last year Cody Ceci and Matt O?Connor, pictured here, visited both Cornwall and Morrisburg on the same day. This year the Ottawa Senators Hometown Tour series will be visiting Brockville Ontario after the Morrisburg event. In addition to meeting Ottawa Senators players, there will be games and activities for children, a chance to win Ottawa Senators tickets, and more.

SPLASHPAD IN RIVERDALE PARK CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING - City officials joined with residents on Friday to celebrate the official opening of the new splashpad in Riverdale Park. Youngsters Peyton and Dexter, pictured here, were among the first to try it out! They approve of the new splashpad.

The splashpad ? the third such facility in Cornwall ? is located east of the existing playground structure and features over a dozen different water features. A fully-accessible change room and washroom facility was also established nearby as part of the project. ?This is an important investment that adds to the quality of life that our residents enjoy,? said Mayor Leslie O?Shaughnessy. ?It is sure to be well-used by residents and I?m excited that families will be able to make use of it this summer.? The new splashpad will be in operation seven days a week, from 9 am to 8 pm.

This is the same operating hours as the two other splashpads in Lamoureux Park and St. Theresa Park.

SÉGUIN PATATE?S 60TH ANNIVERSARY BENEFITING AGAPÈ CENTRE ? Supporting the Agapè Centre has never been more tasty! A The local chip stand icon, Séguin Patate, is celebrating 60 years of fries with some special deals on Sunday August 21 from 11am to 6pm.

Owner Mike Allaire will give away 60 t-shirts to lucky customers at the top of every hour. And there will be a hint of nostalgia: Séguin Patate will bring back the 25¢ fry cone for the day. Allaire remembers the old days of summer with Séguin Patate chip trucks ringing their bells up and down the streets of Cornwall. He hopes the fry cone will bring people back to the delight of sucking up every last drop of vinegar out the bottom of the cone (once the fries were devoured of course). All proceeds from the following celebration specials will be donated to the Agapè Centre. ?Cornwall?s been my hometown for 53 years. I?ve got a pretty good business going,? said Allaire. ?I?m feeding a lot of people here, but a lot of people are going hungry. So I?m giving back from what I have.?

CARILYNE HÉBERT JOINS CORNWALL ONTARIO ADOPT-A-STREET PROGRAM - Carilyne Hébert just finished safety training for the Adopt-a-Street program in Cornwall Ontario. She is ready and equipped to keep her neighbourhood clean. ?(I?m) all ready and equipped to keep my neighbourhood clean,? said City Councillor Carilyne Hébert on social media. The Adopt-A-Street program is seeking new volunteers. It is a chance to work with the City of Cornwall and other community-minded volunteers to maintain litter-free streets, sidewalks and parks! It?s also an opportunity to meet other people who share a sense of civic pride and are picking up litter in their neighbourhoods! The Adopt-A-Street program will help beautify Cornwall Ontario. It creates a more positive milieu for citizens, leads to more civic pride, and makes Cornwall more attractive to visitors and potential new businesses.

Adopt-A-Street allows people to get involved and feel proud about their community. And it costs very little. It?s a win-win situation! For more information visit the City website.

CORNWALL TRANSIT OFFERING FREE RIDES TO SENIORS AUGUST 10TH - Cornwall Transit is offering free rides to seniors on Wednesday, August 10th. Residents the age of 65 and over can ride for free all day long. Seniors who already have a monthly pass will be able to bring a family member or friend on board for free. ?This initiative will allow us to showcase our service to potential new riders,? said Transit Division Manager Len Tapp. ?It also gives us an opportunity to thank the seniors who use our

service on a regular basis.? As part of the Senior Day promotion, a series of ?secret riders?will be handing out prizes to senior riders on the buses throughout the day. ?Based on the response we received, we?re making this an annual promotion for Cornwall Transit,? said Mr. Tapp.

For additional information on Cornwall Transit, please visit their website or call (613) 930-2636.

SDSG NDP RIDING ASSOCIATION BBQ IS AUGUST 21ST - The

Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry SDSG NDP Riding Association invites the public for an afternoon of fun at its annual barbecue on Sunday, August 21, 2016. ?We?re still basking in the glory of summer, and there?s no better place to do it than Lamoureux Park.

The festivities will be held in front of the Cornwall Lions Club bandshell from noon to 3:00 pm.

Admission is free and everyone is most welcome,? says local SDSG NDP Riding Association President Carilyne Hébert. As always, a wide array of family friendly activities will be on offer, including games for children of all ages, face painting, and plenty of free food and drinks for all. For your dancing pleasure, local stage actor Paul Aubin will be at his laptop spinning tunes to get you on your feet. And making a return appearance to provide live musical entertainment for you will be Project Mantra, fronted by Brockville city councillor Leigh Bursey.

THE AGAPÈ CENTRE: HUNGER DOESN?T TAKE A SUMMER VACATION - The Agapè Centre, which also services children, is looking for some local super heroes to donate food, money, and grocery gift cards to help battle hunger. Hunger doesn?t take a summer vacation, so the local food bank needs some local super heroes now! School?s out and the kids are savoring their holidays, but for many families in our community summer is one of the hardest times to keep food on the table. Ask any food bank, including the Agapè Centre, what time of year is their busiest for donations and they?ll tell you it?s December. But hunger doesn?t happen just at Christmas. Many low-income families rely on school meal programs to help their get children the nutrients they need to thrive. During the summer months, kids don?t have access to these programs so parents on low income often struggle to be able to provide meals for their children. ?The summer months can be difficult for many families to keep food on their tables, so we?re faced with a higher need for services from families,? said Johanne Gauthier, the Agapè Centre?s Operations Manager and Interim Executive Director. ?But it?s also the time of year that we see a substantial drop in donations.? Over the summer, the Agapè Centre sees more children eating in the community kitchen. The charity will issue tax receipts for any donation of $20 or more (cash or food or grocery gift cards with receipts).

Hist oric Beaconsf iel d Beaconsf iel d was one of the early suburbs in the former Cornwall Township that became a Cornwall neighbourhood on January 1, 1957 when the City annexed much of the Township.

Originally Beaconsfield was bounded on the north by Second Street West, on the south by the Cornwall Canal, on the east by the Town Limits (the west side of Cumberland Street), on the west by Cornwall Township (Gregor Avenue, later re-named Brookdale Avenue). It?s one of the oldest neighbourhoods outside of the Square Mile and boasts of some 150 year old homes.

Prior to current day Brookdale Avenue, the first segment of what was to become that street was Gregor between Spruce Street (later renamed Water Street) and Second Street West. Later, the segment of road between Second Street West and Fifth Street West was Brookdale. Still later, Gregor became part of Brookdale which resulted in a renumbering of the buildings on Brookdale in order to start the sequence at Water Street West instead of at Second Street West.

St . Francis de Sal es 1st Church & Rect ory - from the findings of Thom Racine In the 1920s St. Columban Parish opened a mission chapel at the intersection of what is now Brookdale Avenue and Water Street to serve the growing needs of Beaconsfield as well as nearby Laflecheville and Smithville. In 1937 the chapel was replaced by the new parish of St. Francis de Sales on Second Street West. This photo shows the original St. Francis rectory, the first church and the original neighbouring houses to the east.

None of these buildings remain today.

M O RRIS,RM T Massage f or Chil dren A new school year is approaching and I can hear parents rejoicing! Students are experiencing a slew of different emotions; some are excited to go back to the routine and to see their friends and teachers. For the really young ones, they may be excited to start school or nervous about leaving mom and dad for a full day. Others are dreading the multiple assignments, peer pressure, exams, and long bus rides. Add to that the weighted backpacks students have to lug back and forth to school. Even though stress and anxiety seems to be rampant in our society today, many people still shrug off students emotions as laziness or difficulty with academics.

I have mentioned in previous articles the benefits of massage therapy for stress and anxiety, but that isn?t all that our kids have to deal with.

Backpacks get heavier as the year progresses and students now have Smartphone?s that they seem to be on constantly (according to mom and dad). There is an epidemic given the moniker ?text neck?. This is a reduction in the curvature of the cervical spine (the neck) caused by looking down constantly. (And, no, it isn?t just happening to teens.)

Students are also experiencing major hormonal changes at about the time their backpacks start getting heavier. With changes to the body, many kids change their posture, whether to hide their developing bodies, turning inward due to shyness, or to compensate for muscle weakness due to poor posture and inactivity.

We can?t stop teachers from giving assignments. Nor can we convince people to stop spending so much time on their phones. What we can do is get our kids into activities that strengthen their muscles and improve their confidence. We can send them for regular massage therapy to focus on relaxing the muscles that have tightened up and may be causing headaches or back and shoulder pain. Massage therapy for children and teens is also a great way to boost confidence. Although young people come into the office timid and unsure, usually with subsequent treatments, they are bubbly and able to express themselves confidently. In my own office I do have several young clients who make regular appointments. So before your little ones start school this September, let?s set up an appointment to get them started on the right foot!

That song br ings m e back to w hen I w as 19, pr acticing w ith my fr iend Gr eg Cox, and m oved to Calgar y, and w e w ould play on the fr ont por ch of his far m house. That w as a tough song to lear n, to get those shots r ight, but now as you get older , you?r e like, w ow that?s a r eally easy song. It tells m e I did m ake an im pr ovem ent since I w as 19. That?s just a m em or y, just like ever y other song, like Roller , I r em em ber w her e I w as w hen I hear d that. It br ings you back I guess,? said Roy Nichol w ith a gr in.

Int erview wit hAprilWinedrummer RoyNichol

W hen Cor nw all dr um m er Roy Nichol joined Apr il W ine in 2012, he w asn?t just joining a classic r ock band, he w as joining an im por tant par t of r ock histor y. The jour ney to joining Apr il W ine began w hen Roy Nichol w as dr um m ing for a band called Sam Hill, how ever his jour ney to becom ing a pr ofessional m usician began w hen he star ted dr um m ing at the age of 15. Now 58 year s old, Roy Nichol has played in a slew of bands including Apr il W ine, Sam Hill, the Stacey Thor n Band, Shotgun, Steeler , and Spar e Par tz. Roy Nichol r ecalls vividly the phone call and band pr actice w ith M yles Goodw yn that lead him to becom e their dr um m er.

bands like the Rolling Stones, Styx, Jour ney, and Rush. The band enjoyed com m er cial success both on the r adio and on M TV. W hat does that histor y and playing w ith those m usicians m ean to Roy Nichol? ?It?s har d to conceptualize w hat that histor y is because at the tim e I w as not par t of the band.

People tell m e, oh you m ust be a r ock star. I?m not a r ock star. I play w ith r ock star s. They?ve done all the leg w or k . I?m filling in for Jer r y M er cer , a fantastic dr um m er , and one of my idols w hen I w as younger. I?m just com ing in. I?m a par t of the band, I do my job, and w e play w ell together , but I?m not par t of their histor y.

?It star ted w hen the band Sam Hill w as playing her e, at Dr eam Builder Studios, for a Hallow een par ty. M ar k Ow en, the ow ner of Dr eam Builder Studios, has a com pany called Indie Guitar s. M yles Goodw yn uses one of the Indie Guitar s. So M ar k called him and asked if he w anted to com e to the Hallow een show w e had.

M yles says sur e, and him and Steve Segal cam e. They saw m e play in 2011.

Tim e w ent by and all of a sudden a m utual fr iend of our s, Ar t O?Reilly w ho ow ns Str ung Out Guitar s calls m e and says M yles Goodw yn is looking for you. M yles Goodw yn? He says yes, her e is the num ber , call him . I called M yles, and M yles says yes I?m looking for a dr um m er for my opening act to open for Apr il W ine.

M yles says he is going to be in the opening act, it?s just him . We had a m eeting and he says to lear n these 3-4 Apr il W ine songs.

That w as m id-w eek on aWednesday, and he said com e to my place and w e?ll jam on them .

We w ent to his place, and w e talked for about an hour , w alked ar ound the place and got a good feel for each other , then he said lets jam on som e songs.

So it w as just m e and him playing som e songs, and then at the end he says, I got to level w ith you, I need a dr um m er for Apr il W ine. He said, you got the job if you w ant it. I said I?ll take it. He said w e have tw o days r ehear sal, M onday andTuesday, then w e?r e in Alber ta for six gigs r ight off the bat. So it w as pr essur e to lear n all the songs in that tim e fr am e, but it w or ked out fine. Her e w e ar e in 2016, and I?m still in the band,? Roy Nichol r ecounted.

Apr il W ine, w ho for m ed in 1969, have had m any accolades. They w er e inducted in the Canadian M usic Hall of Fam e, nom inated for eleven Juno Aw ar ds, had sever al album s go gold and platinum , w er e on the Billboar d Top 200 char ts for 40 consecutive w eeks, and they opened for

At fir st you?r e a little intim idated of cour se, and not just playing w ith M yles Goodw yn, but w ith Br ian Gr eenw ay too. He joined the band in 1977.

I consider him a par t of the or iginal band. He?s been in ever y r ecor ding, ever y concer t, and ever y gig since 1977. But playing w ith M yles, after w hile, I?m just doing my job. I?m not star str uck or anything. We have a cam ar ader ie betw een us. We play good as a gr oup. The w hole gr oup sounds good w ith Richar d Lanthier playing gr eat bass, the r hythm section together is good and tight. He w ants m e to play dr um s and to play w ell. It?s an easy job for m e,? says Roy Nichol.

47 year s after it?s or iginal inception the band continues to tour and fill venues to capacity.

Apr il W ine still tour Canada and play festivals and gigs in the United States and Eur ope. Roy Nichol gets to exper ience the m agic of Apr il W ine fir st hand fr om behind the dr um kit ? w hether he is playing M onolith or DW dr um s. His favour ite Apr il W ine song to play is ?Oow atanite?, because

Apr il W ine last r eleased an album ten year s ago in 2006. The band has no plans on r eleasing a new album . ?Nobody w ants to hear new m usic. Ever yone w ants to hear the hits. If you put out new m ater ial, I don?t even know if r adio stations w ould pick it up and play it, because ever yone w ants to hear the old songs. They have m em or ies associated w ith the old songs, they don?t have m em or ies w ith the new songs,? Roy Nichol explains.

Roy Nichol and Apr il W ine played all the hits at Lift-Off 2013, and helped cr eate som e aw esom e m em or ies for Cor nw all m usic fans, w hen they played his hom etow n together for the fir st tim e. One of Apr il W ine?s top songs is ?I like to Rock? and it tur ns out so did Cor nw all Ontar io.

Despite a blazing heat w ave over 5000 people attended a Sunday after noon show to see Apr il W ine r ock live in concer t. ?All my fr iends w er e ther e to com e out and suppor t. And it w as extr em ely hot!

I r em em ber my kids ther e, and I got pictur es of my kids, they ar e soak and w et because it?s so hot. Richar d Lanthier , our bass player , alm ost fainted on stage because it w as so hot.

The sun w as just beating dow n that tim e of day. It w as the hottest day of the year. It w as still gr eat and ever yone loved it?, Roy Nichol added.

Although ther e is no specific date planned for an upcom ing gig in Cor nw all Ontar io, Roy Nichol is confident the band w ill play Cor nw all again som etim e in the futur e. In the m eantim e, Roy Nichol can still be found playing the occasional show in Cor nw all. ?I still play ar ound w ith a band called Spar e Par tz, w ith my br other Peter Nichol, M ike Tessier , and Kelly Heenan. I play the odd gig w ith them . Som etim es I?ll go and sing w ith the Lost Boyz w hen I?m at one of their gigs, because w e?r e all r eally good fr iends. Right now I?m w or king on a pr oject w ith my br other Peter Nichol, M ike Tessier , and myself. We have an or iginal band com ing out shor tly. Because I use to sing in a Jour ney tr ibute, and w e did all the Jour ney stuff w ith Sam Hill, it kind of sounds like Jour ney but a bit new er too. So that?s the big pr oject I?m w or king on now ,? Roy Nichol concluded.

10 M I NUTE NO-BA K E COOK I ES

Sha ry n

THO M PSO N

In all of our very hot weather, the '10 Minute no-bake cookies' has a great deal of appeal to me. Last week, Diane Goulet, after shopping in my store, kindly e-mailed me her old family recipe she has made since her childhood. I just made them this morning with great results. Part way through, as I was dropping the mounds of cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet, I decided to add a bit of a twist by adding some coconut. These also came out very nicely. You choose how you like them. You can vary the flavour by changing the instant pudding flavour. Diane favours pistachio flavour pudding, but I didn't have this flavour on hand. I used butterscotch instant pudding with delicious results. Thanks Diane for caring and sharing. Have a great week! Make some special memories and do this recipe with your children or grandkids.

METHOD:

DIANE'S 10 MINUTE NO BAKE COOKIES VARIATIONS:

STOVE-TOP METHOD:

You can vary the flavour by changing the instant pudding from chocolate, vanilla, butterscotch or pistachio. I also added about 1 cup or so of sweetened angel flake coconut as well, and using the 4 serving size, instant butterscotch pudding mix- 113 gram package. I used my microwave to cook the mixture in an 8 cup size Pyrex measuring cup/ bowl.

INGREDIENTS: -

1.

2.

3.

4.

2/ 3 cup Carnation evaporated milk 1/ 2 cup butter 2 cups white sugar 1 pkg. - 113 gram, 4 serving size instant pudding mix, any flavour (Diane prefers pistachio, I used butterscotch, what I had on hand this morning.)

3 cups of quick cooking rolled oats (I used about 1 cup or so of sweetened Angel flake coconut as well. I didn't accurately measure this, it just fell into the bowl. haha!)

5.

-In a saucepan, heat over medium heat, the evaporated milk, butter and sugar. Bring this to a boil, stirring often.

-Remove the saucepan from the heat source and add in the dry pudding mix. Use a whisk to blend until smooth.

-Stir in the rolled oats. Mix well. (Add the coconut now if you wish to use some.)

-Use a cookie scoop (from Sharyn's Pantry) or a teaspoon, and drop the batter onto parchment lined baking sheets.

-Place these trays in your fridge until the cookies are cool, firm and set.

MICROWAVE METHOD:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

-This was my choice of cooking. Here is what I did: -Using an 8 cup glass, Pyrex measuring cup/ bowl: stir together the evaporated milk, butter and sugar.

-Heat on HIGH in your microwave for 4 or 5 minutes, until the mixture come comes to a boil. Stir well to combine.

-Use a whisk to add in the dry pudding mix. Mix well to combine until nice and smooth.

-Stir in the rolled oats and coconut if you are using some.

Mix well.

-Use a cookie scoop (from Sharyn's Pantry) or a teaspoon to drop the cookie dough onto parchment lined baking sheets.

-Refrigerate the trays until the cookies are firm and set.

-The recipe made 70 cookies and they were done in a snap! This is a go-to recipe to make in hot weather. Perfect to do along with your children or grandkids. ENJOY!!!!

BURKE

Back to Sch ool - Part 2

On a recent visit to Algonquin college I noticed many students with laptop computers. With that in mind, this week's focus will be on general purpose laptop computers appropriate for senior high school and college use.

HP, Lenovo, Toshiba and Dell are all well known for their high quality laptops. Other brands such as MSI and Asus may not be as well known, but are also respected by computer enthusiasts.

And then there is Acer. Enough said. My son, who has worked in two high volume computer repair centres, recommends Lenovo and Toshiba. My own experience with HP, Dell and Asus has been very positive. That being said, I have researched equipment by most of the listed brands and have found several models appropriate for most college students. These models are typically priced between $500 and $750 and feature either Intel CPUs (i3 or i5) or AMD CPUs (A8 or A10), have 4 to 8 GB of RAM and at least 500 GB of storage.

They tend to have screens between 14" and 16", which make them perfectly suited to college use. Smaller systems are more portable, but the smaller screens can be tiring for some people. I have not listed Apple since their notebook computers are priced in the $1,100 and up price range.

Some notable examples of these Windows 10 computers are as follows: Asus R series 15.6" notebook with AMD A10 CPU, 1 TB storage and 8 GB RAM for around $600, Lenovo IdeaPad 100 15.6" notebook with Intel i3 CPU, 500 GB storage and 8 GB RAM for around $600,

and the Asus X540 15.6" notebook with Intel i5 CPU, 1 TB storage and 8 GB RAM for around $750. Honourable mention goes to the sub $500 Dell Inspiron 15 3000, currently on sale and equipped with Intel i3 CPU, 500 GB storage and 4 GB RAM. All of these computers have integrated video circuitry, so they are not oriented towards any graphically demanding games. However, they are the appropriate level of computer for surfing the Internet, writing reports and creating presentations. They will all run the typical "office" software required by students, so any one of these notebooks should be both useful and economical. Keep in mind that a notebook backpack or similar carry case will be required and an additional mouse makes using a notebook computer much easier.

I use a notebook to write these articles. I have a laptop cooling stand, external keyboard and a wireless mouse. The cooling stand ($30) lifts the notebook screen to a more ergonomically correct level while also cooling my computer. The external keyboard ($30) reduces wear and tear on the laptop itself and provides me with a superior quality keyboard on which to type. The wireless mouse ($30) is much easier to use than the notebook track pad. When I have to go mobile, the laptop case allows me to pack the notebook, charging system, mouse, extension cord and a few other items into an easy to carry bundle.

Contact your local trusted computer store to find out what they have for your college student's back to school needs.

Next Issue on Friday, September 2, I will take a look at some performance oriented notebooks appropriate for college students.

Hud so n The Aura- Our Connect ion t o The Divine

By WendyHudson,D.Div.,C.A.E.H.,C.D.W.,C.S.H. The dictionary definition of an aura states it is ?An invisible emanation or energy field that surrounds all living things?. Many believe that the aura is emitted from the physical body much like a light bulb; however, it?s the opposite. The physical body is the result of the aura, which steps down energy and vibration from the highest sources down to the lowest, resulting in our physicality. Not only do humans have auras, but so do all living things, including every animal, insect, plant and even a rock.

The aura actually surrounds the body and therefore is regarded as an extension of the physicality. Energies flow through the aura, both in and out and reflect everything about us as individuals including our personalities, lifestyle, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and energetic wellbeing or lack thereof.

The Barbara Brennan model says the aura has 7 layers, with each layer interpenetrating all the layers under it. They each have a different name, color, have unique characteristics and functions. The first three, which are closest to the physical body all relate to the physical plane. The fourth one is called the Astral Plane, which is a bridge between physical and spirit and the fifth to seventh layers all relate to our Spiritual self. The closest thing to scientific proof that we have an aura would be Kirlian photography which I?ve included a picture of. The fingerprints show the aura, while the whole body picture shows what the aura might look like clairvoyantly. Each layer of the aura also interconnects with each of our chakra centres, making it impossible for us to hide feelings, beliefs, fears, etc. from our loving universe. The aura is pretty easy to see with the naked eye, and we teach several techniques in our school. Often, at sunset, if the lighting is just right, you may notice shimmering or a slight shadow around a tree.

That?s it?s aura you?re seeing.

So, why is our aura so important and why should we care about it?

Because it is our 2 way communication device with the Universe, Source, God, or whatever you choose to call the highest vibrational energy there is. If we bring in the Laws of Attraction that has been extensively written about, then we understand that the energy and vibration that we give off is then replicated and given back to us again? .like attracts like? .all through our aura. In our aura is all the information you?ll ever need about who you really are and what you?re doing here in physical form. It?s you, vibrating at the lowest, physical frequencies all the way up to the highest, spiritual ones. It is you, existing not just in the 3rd dimension, but in at least seven different dimensions at the same time since each layer actually exists in other states of consciousness. Through healing work, the aura as well as the chakras can be cleared of any energetic blocks (I covered this topic in a previous article), allowing your physical, emotional and mental bodies to be balanced and positive, thus drawing more of the same to yourself. Now that sounds like something worth pursuing.

Legendar y Vancouver r ock band Chilliw ack w ill be playing the Navan Fair in Ottaw a onFr iday, August 12th, 2016. The band consists of lead singer and guitar ist Bill Hender son, guitar ist Ed Hender son, bassist Doug Edw ar ds, and dr um m er Jer r y Adolphe.

Befor e r efor m ing in 1997, the band w as active for 18 year s fr om 1970 to 1988. Dur ing that span they r eleased 11 album s including four that w er e cer tified platinum in Canada. Chilliw ack have som e notable hits such as ?M y Gir l (Gone, Gone, Gone)?, ?W hatcha Gonna Do?, ?I Believe?, and ?Lonesom e M ar y?.

Int erview wit h Chil l iwack f ront man Bil l Henderson

Bill Hender son, w ho w on a Juno Aw ar d for Pr oducer of the Year and a SOCAN Special Achievem ent Aw ar d, says Chilliw ack br ings the audience back to a differ ent tim e. ?In our show w e do a lot of the hits, w e play songs the people know w ell. They ar e fun to play.

We play stuff fr om the ear ly 70s songs like ?Lonesom e M ar y?. We take the audience back to a psychedelic tim e. It?s a r efer ence point of w her e w e com e fr om . Our pur pose is to get on stage to have a gr eat tim e w ith our audience. It?s w hat m akes it w or thw hile. It?s an em otional exper ience. It goes deep in us and it goes deep in our audience,? Bill Hender son explains.

If m usic is a r efer ence point of w her e w e com e fr om , it?s per haps only fitting that the legacy of Br ian ?Too Loud? M acLeod?s lives on ever y tim e Chilliw ack plays a show. The for m er guitar ist of Chilliw ack died of br ain cancer in 1992. He w as a w ell know n pr oducer and shar es songw r iting cr edits w ith Br yan Adam s, Lover boy, Chicago and other s.

?Yes I do believe (Br ian ?Too Loud? M cLeod?s legacy and m em or y lives on in our live show ) to som e extent. It br ought attention to our band w hen he w as in the gr oup for six year s. He has an extr aor dinar y and unusual talent. We w er e lucky to have him w or k for us. The legacy is deep. Songs like ?(M y Gir l) Gone, Gone, Gone?, and ?W hatch Gonna Do?, his sound is ther e, and it lives on in those songs,? says Bill Hender son.

Bill Hender son?s favour ite Chilliw ack song to per for m live is ?Seventeenth Sum m er ?. ?M y favour ite Chilliw ack song to play live? That is a tough one. It changes fr om night to night. ?Seventeenth Sum m er ? is kind of a gr unting and chanting thing. People get up and dance. We do differ ent things w ith the song each night. We have fun w ith that song, w e have fun w ith all of our songs though?, Bill Hender son confided.

In 2015 m usic fans w er e tr eated to a new m usic video by Chilliw ack for the song ?Take Back This Land?. The song becam e a r allying call dur ing the last Feder al Election. The song w asn?t just about the election accor ding to Bill Hender son.

W hether it is logging or fr acking or w hatever else, ther e is still a lot m or e w or k to do in Canada.

?Ther e is lots m or e w or k (to take back this land). It?s bar ely begun. It w as inspir ed about the election. It?s som ething w e need to addr ess. I w anted to inspir e people. Ther e is a lot of w or k to do in Canada. It?s beautiful the land itself. In or der to m ake it good and keep it good, ther e is a lot of w or k to do. Ever y action has effects and r eper cussions.

Things happen w hen people push politicans and m ake them m ove?, Bill Hender son added.

Ar e ther e any plans for a new Chilliw ack album ?

The shor t answ er is no.

?We m ay com e up w ith an album , but I?m not thinking of that. If you w ant an album to be successful it takes tim e, m oney, and ener gy ? including cr eating videos. Then you have to pr om ote it like cr azy. I?m 71. I?m not that inter ested in building my car eer. I just w ant to take the hear t and soul of w hat is Chilliw ack and keep playing live. The line up of the band has been the sam e for the last 17-18 year s. We have just been playing Canada and it?s still gr ow ing,?

Bill Hender son concluded.

The Navan Fair show star ts at 9pm and is $10 adm ission. Those w ho w ant to get into the beer gar dens m ust be 19+. The Navan Fair is located at 1209 Colonial Road in Ottaw a, Ontar io. _________________________________________________

It's a good way to empty your dresser drawer of all the little knick knacks that remind you of someone special or a special time in your life. The shadow box can sit on a coffee table if it's small enough or make the shadow box a coffee table if it's big enough.

DEM PSTER SHADOW BOXING Not wit h your f ist , wit h a f rame.

Shadow box framing is a great way to show off things you had in your dresser drawers and closets and rarely see. If you properly display them you can admire them all the time and they're safe and protected from the environment.

Grandpa was in the war and is no longer with us, what better way to honour his memory than to frame his war medals, letters to home, photographs and any other token that reminds you of him. This type of framing is a great way to tell a story about somebody's life, whether from the past or present. It could be a piece of grandmother's costume jewelry, her rosary and bible.

You might want to frame your child's sport jerseys or your signed jersey from your favourite hockey player. You might have a coin collection, butterflies, bottle caps or pins. Seashells and pocket watches, anything and everything.

The shadow box is a deep frame that can accommodate items that are three dimensional, in other words something that isn't flat. If you have a flat item to include such as a photo, you can float the photo so it appears to be floating in mid air by supporting the photo with a block underneath. A grouping can be created that is pleasing to the eye, with mats and a frame that flatter the object.

The shadow box frame can be made from two different frames back to

BAKER Hi To All of you Cornwallians who chose to pick up a ~Seeker~ paper to read this week. This will be the last issue for the month of August as we are all going on holidays for 2 weeks. You will be able to pick up a paper when we will have returned on September 4th.

Until then, I do hope that you will be and have been enjoying the Summer thus far doing the things that smiles and memories are made from with the ones that you love and cherish.

Tip of t he Week: Here are TEN Facts That Every Woman Should Know:

1. Everyone has rolls when they bend over.

2. When someone tells you that you are pretty or beautiful, believe them.

3. Sometimes we all wake up with breath that could knock out a goat.

4. For every woman unhappy with her stretch marks there is a barren woman who wishes she had them.

5. You should definitely have more confidence in yourself. And if you saw yourself the way others see you, you would.

6. Don't look for a man to save you. Be able to save yourself.

7. It's okay to not love every part of your body....but you should. Just Sayin'.

8. We all have that one friend who seems to have it all together. That woman with the seemingly perfect life. Well, you might be that woman to someone else.

9. You should be a Priority. Not an Option, a Last Resort, or a Backup Plan.

10. You Are A Woman. That alone makes you pretty remarkable. As you get older (as I am...56 and counting...) you will start to understand more and more that in life it is not what you look like, or what you own, it is what kind of person you have became. Start today, if you haven't already started... By Being The Awesome and Unique Person That YOU Were Meant To Be!!! Like ME!!!

It em of t he week: The item I have choosen for this week is a beautiful, purplish-pink polka- dotted dress with a satin ribboned waist and neckline and a tie that my eldest daughter, Melinda gave me for my birthday. This pretty dress was orginally priced at $50.00 and she got it for ONLY $12.10!!! WHAT A DEAL!!! It was purchased from a sweet little Consignment / New Items shop called ~CAROLE'S BOUTIK~ located at 26 Main Street South in Alexandria, Ontario where Melinda and her family live. This ladies boutique is certainly a diamond in the

Th u r sdays Fr idays Sat u r days on t h e

rough. The store front window has a beautiful display, but it doesn't do it much justice. As you walk in the door there is a tall, silver Knight statue that welcomes you. As I walked in further... my eyes were happily gazing at rainbows of coloured tops, shorts, skirts, purses, shoes and so much more. I was instantly impressed on the way that the store was laid out. It was so easy for Melinda and I to find items that we would have liked to try on or just to look at until another time, such as their "Party/ Graduation Dress Room" that was filled with a miriad of fancy, brightly -coloured Princess dresses along with all of the accessories that any Princess or Graduate would love to possess. The staff was very helpful and friendly and I even got to meet the lovely owner, Carole as she stopped by to see how things were going. I highly recommend that you and your lady friends go and see this sweet boutique for yourselves. It is only a short 40 minute drive from Cornwall. HAPPY SHOPPING LADIES!!!

Be True To Yourselves. As you set out onto Life?s road, unsure of the path you will go, the most important thing you can do is to always be true to ?YOU!? Always remember who YOU are in moments of Struggle or Fear. Never Forget or Give up on the Hopes and Dreams you hold so dear. There will be Setbacks and Rejection and Moments of Failure too, but you must Overcome any frustration to achieve the Potential of YOU. Don?t forget to Smile, or Laugh, or to Live in the Present. No matter where Life takes YOU make every Memory Pleasant. As you travel along on your journey, know that you?re never alone... I will always be here for YOU should YOU need the comfort of Home.

Unt il Next Week: There ARE two things that define YOU... Your Patience when You have Nothing and Your Attitude when you have Everything. On a "Bad Hair Day"... There is always LIPSTICK OR A Fashionable HAT!!!

the same question again. If this still, does not work, you can talked about their feelings, taking in to consideration that you do not know exact l y how they feel since you are not in their shoes. Do not use the term, ?I know?, say instead ?I t hink I may underst and?. Do not discuss the problem they are upset about until their emotions have been dealt with. Let them know you would like to help them resolve the situation but it needs to be dealt with calmly. Do not let people who you would rather not interact take control of your time; you have other things to do. So tell them you have another commitment and reschedule. Using this approach cl oses t he door on t he subject while the heat is still up.

M O RRELL ORGANIZED MIND - DEALING WITH DIFFICULT PEOPLE Part 2 of 2 Additional hints about dealing with difficult people 1. The last thing you want is to get into an argument; so keep your cool .

Unless the person you are talking to is wrong and you have t he proof right in f ront of you - ready t o show t he f act s - t o sol ve t he probl em, do not argue. Instead say: "Give me some time to let me check further into this please. We need do this once and to it right."

2. Know your boundaries, meaning: no one has to be friends with everyone and you do not owe favours to anyone.

3. Do not engage with angry and irrational people; sometimes it is easier said then done. However, the best thing to do is listen quietly. Let them rant and rave while you are keeping cool . When they are done speaking, ask if they like to reschedule to discuss the mater more calmly. If this does not work and they start yelling again wait; let then finish and ask

4. If you have no choice but spend time with people you dislike, they are most likely experiencing the same feeling about you. Situations such as these would not occur if the service provided was not of value to them, whether it is a work skill, specialized knowledge, or relative to emotional support.

The most import ant t hing t o remember is that people who have an issue to deal with and who are treating you this way, which is unacceptable, are doing it for reasons t hat has not hing t o do wit h you personal l y. Do not worry about figuring them out; worry about how you are going to manage their annoyances.

Remember you are val uabl e and you have your own goal s t o achieve.

Bot t om l ine, be patient, be strong, keep your cool and take deep breaths.

Eventually the answer will present itself. Remember, you can only deal with facts and go by the rules put in place.
