EDITOR IN CHIEF: Julia Lucio

We don't al ways remember t o say t hank you Monday is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for that I don't even know where to begin. Everyday, I count my blessings, but sometimes, like every human being, I tend to take them for granted. I complain, whether it is about my job, about my kids or about my money situation, temporarily forgetting that I am more fortunate than most.

At times, writing gets very draining. You put your all in the words you use and you seldom get feedback. You spend a lot of time questioning if what you are doing the right thing or if you even are reaching people. This week, I was reminded twice that it is all worth it.

After a long meeting Tuesday evening, my husband and I came home and parked the Truck in the lot next door for the night. A nice couple was taking a walk on Second Street, going away from my house. The lady turned around and called out to me. "Are you Julia?", she said. After I acquiesced, she continued, "I'm Brenda from Cogeco!"

I had spoken with Brenda over the phone before and she had such kind things to say about the paper and our doings in the community that she had wanted to do a segment about us on TV. That didn't happen, but I didn't really care. I felt like I had gained a friend in the business and you can't put a price on that.

to say is something they are looking forward to reading every week and that really made me feel content and thankful about having this opportunity.

Then, yesterday, I received a letter in the mail. This one was from a lady who came by my office last week and requested copies of a certain article published weeks before about a friend of hers. I did my best to help. As she stood there while I was digging for said article, she asked who I was. I said my name. She then proceeded to let me know that we are on total opposite sides when it comes to politics. I told her not to read my upcoming editorial. She, of course, read it anyway.

The letter was showing appreciation for my help. It also said that she had read the article and that we couldn't think more differently, but that no matter our differences, she would continue to avidly read the Seeker. She described my articles as "written from the heart, down, dirty and stimulating" and she ended her letter with "You have my total respect".

I can't begin to express how touched, humbled and flattered those words made me feel. It is easy to gain the respect of those who share your points of view; we're on common grounds to begin with. But getting the respect of someone who thinks differently, now that's the ultimate compliment.

So despite the fact someone backed up in my husband's passenger door (Hello ladies at the Collision Reporting Centre!!!)and despite having teenager hassles this week, I AM thankful. I am thankful for my family. I am thankful for my work.

I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful for my life. I am especially thankful for my readers, those who agree and those who disagree. They keep me going week in, week out.

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and whatever you do, don't forget to show your gratitude.

WALKING DEAD ACTRESS KIMBERLY LEEMANS SPECIAL GUEST AT CAPE 2017 The Cornwall & Area Pop Event presents special guest Kimberly Leemans.

She is an up-and-coming talent. She began her television career as a contestant on America?s Next Top Model. Since then, she?s gone on to secure guest roles on shows like The Vampire Diaries and Nashville.

Kimberly Leemans made quite the impact when she joined The Walking Dead during season 6 as Crystal, a resident at the Hilltop community where Rick hopes to find allies. Other guest attending CAPE 2017 include Yanic Truesdale (Gilmore Girls), Don Teems (Walking Dead), Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls and Guardians of the Galaxy), and Chris Sullivan (Guardians of the Galaxy and Stranger Things). CAPE 2017 takes place April 22nd and 23rd 2017 at the Benson Centre.

FLAG RAISED TO MARK OCTOBER AS UNITED WAY MONTH - United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) raised the United Way of SD&G flag at the County Administration building to mark October as United Way month. ?We are so pleased with the continued support for United Way of SD&G from SDG?, said Lori Greer, United Way Executive Director. ?We greatly appreciate enthusiasm for our Campaign each year and for being United Way local community heroes.?

United Way of SD&G was the recipient of proceeds from the Warden?s Annual Golf Tournament, providing $1,500 to the 2016 Campaign. SDG staff also support the United Way campaign through special events and payroll deduction.]

CORNWALL COLTS WIN TWO OF THREE ? The Cornwall Colts earned four out of a possible six points in three CCHL regular season games this past week after winning two out of three. After 4-2 and 4-3 wins in a home and home series with Smiths Falls, the Colts dropped a 5-2 decision to the league leading Canadians in Carleton Place on Sunday. The Colts sit alone in 3rd place in the Robinson Division as well as the overall CCHL standings with a record of 7-4-0-1 (15 points). Colts Captain Grant Cooper?s two goals vs the Canadians give him 10 on the season and the CCHL lead in that offensive category Cooper is also tied for 3rd in points with 17. Colts forward Nick

Lalonde is tied for the CCHL lead in scoring with 7 goals and 11 assists for 18 points. Colts net minder Liam Lascelle is tied for 2nd in goaltending wins with 6. Lascelle?s .917 save percentage leaves him 3rd in that category while his 2.48 goals against average is 5th overall.

HOSPITAL TO GO SMOKE-FREE - On January 1st 2018, all hospitals in the province of Ontario will be mandated to be smoke-free, under the Smoke Free Ontario Act. Until January 1st 2018 hospitals are permitted to identify one designated smoking area on the grounds for patients, employees and visitors. CCH has identified a designated smoking area for staff and patients, until the smoke free deadline of 2018. There has been an increase in smoke free signage, a smoke free logo created and distributed on all patient handouts.

E-cigarette use is also prohibited on the property. An individual found to be smoking in the smoke-free area (indoor or outdoor) of a hospital or psychiatric facility may be charged with an offence, and if convicted, could face a maximum fine of $1,000 (for a first offence) or $5,000 (for any further offence).

According to Smoke-Free Ontario, exposure to second-hand smoking causes about 425 deaths in Ontario annually, while tobacco smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in Canada, causing 40,000 premature deaths each year.

FLU IMMUNIZATION CLINICS START IN NOVEMBER - Starting on November 1st, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) will begin holding seasonal influenza immunization clinics throughout the five Eastern Counties. In addition to the walk-in clinics, the health unit will also hold clinics by appointment at its offices. The clinics by appointment are open to everyone, but priority is given to people with young children, physical limitations, medical considerations or special needs. A pamphlet announcing clinic dates, times and locations has been mailed out to every household. Clinic information can also be found on the EOHU?s website at www.eohu.ca ?You need to get immunized every year to be protected because the viruses that cause the flu do change frequently,? explains Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health. ?The flu can cause serious illness and even death for some people.

The vaccine is safe and your best protection against the flu. It?s free and available for everyone aged 6 months and older.? The EOHU reminds residents to bring a piece of identification to the immunization clinics. For clinic dates and locations, check your mailbox or visit www.eohu.ca You can also call the EOHU at 613-933-1375 or at 1 800 267-7120 and ask for Health Line.

MAYOR JIM BANCROFT SAYS SCHOOL CLOSURES WOULD BE DEVASTATING - The closures proposed through the Upper Canada District School Board?s Pupil Accommodation Review

process will deliver a devastating blow to South Stormont, specifically the area schools of Ingleside and Long Sault.On behalf of Council, Mayor Bancroft reported that South Stormont is appalled by the lack of foresight by the UCSDB with the potential direction suggested in the Report. A copy of the full Report is available at the municipal office or on line at www.ucdsb.on.ca ?In 2016 small rural communities continue to be attacked by funding models approved by the provincial government and driven by school boards. The idea of closing schools in up to five local townships to assist the school board with a speculative long term potential plan to build a new school 10 to 15 years later is at best, absurd. South Stormont?s hamlets of Ingleside and Long Sault were created 60 years ago. Our residents had to relocate, understanding the hope for a new future, and these schools have been key building blocks of the communities. Sixty years later, we should not be forcing parents to change directions again with little chance in seeing any improvement of their children?s education?, said Mayor Jim Bancroft.?

LOCAL COMMUNITIES MUST BE HEARD ON SCHOOL CLOSURE PROPOSAL - MPP Jim McDonell demanded a commitment from the Minister of Education to ensure the community?s voices in the upcoming consultations on potential school closures in Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry are taken into consideration. Under the current Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines, the Board must only consider the ?value to the student? and the ?value to the Board? in their decision to reassign pupils, because the Government removed ?value to the community? and ?value to the local economy? in 2015. ?This Government has a record of depriving communities of a voice when it comes to what their communities want and what is best for their future? MPP Jim McDonell stated. ?They did it with the Green Energy Act and municipal zoning powers by ignoring people and municipalities and forcing industrial wind and solar plants on unwilling communities. They did it when they closed the Kemptville Agricultural College, without any consultation. Now they are doing it again with the Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines and local schools. How can this Government look rural Ontarians in the eye and tell them, with a straight face, that their concerns will be listened to when they?ve removed the Board?s obligation to do so?? ?Rural education isn?t just about a Board?s bottom line? MPP McDonell stated. ?Local schools are vital to rural family values, community spirit and the pride of our youth. Many schools in our area score very well in published rankings which is an attracting factor for prospective residents. By reducing the Board?s tax base and removing local community voices from key decisions such as school closures, this Government is dealing a massive blow to the viability of rural Ontario communities.?

BURKE Technol ogy To Be Thankf ul For Although computer, communications and electronics technology can be addictive and potentially keep us from truly socializing, there is also the other side where these technologies have improved our lives.

GPS systems can be a dedicated unit, an option for your car or something that is built into your cell phone. A GPS is typically used to help you navigate to your destination but it can also be used to help rescuers find you in an emergency situation. The GPS that is built into a car might help relocate the car if it is stolen.

The webcam and a chat program like Skype helps to keep in contact with friends and family around the world. That in itself is something to be thankful for. However, similar technology helps doctors save lives in emergency situations. If the patient is in Edmonton but the specialist is in Ottawa, the video conferencing

technology could be used to assess the patient and allow the specialist to provide guidance for any required procedure.

For the past few years we have seen reports of how drone aircraft can be a nuisance or even potentially dangerous. However, there has recently been a drone developed to deliver an interactive defibrillator to an emergency site that may not be reached by ambulance in time. Consider a situation where someone in a remote location appears to be having a heart attack. Their position is determined via the GPS on their cell phone. The drone is dispatched, and travels at speeds approaching 100 km/ h.

Within minutes, it arrives at the site and, via a two-way on-board video conferencing system, the medical professional assesses the situation. Then, if necessary, instructions are provided about how to use the device. Also, when people are trapped in dangerous environments such as during a mining accident, a drone can be used to transport food, medicine, a length of rope or an air line.

These are only three examples of computer, communications and electronics technology, yet they have made a positive impact.

Truly three examples of technology that we can be thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Th ank sgi v i ng!

I have so much to be thankful for, every day, not just once a year at Thanksgiving. Gary and I have been happily married for 50 years, we have 3 wonderful daughters with loving husbands, 9 grandchildren, our faith, good friends and good health, our store just celebrated 36 years in business, an old farmhouse in the country which we love along with 2 dogs to keep us young! I hope you will have a wonderful day with your families. This is what it is all about! I have two pie recipes for you to try. We just got our locally grown cranberries to-day at Sharyn's Pantry. Buy a few bags and stick them in your freezer. We also have fresh locally grown summer savory for your turkey stuffing, as well as locally raised free run chickens and turkeys.

OU R FAM ILIES' FAVOU RITE PU M PKIN PIE At our house, I always make many pumpkin pies for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. That is the law! No matter what else we will have, there must be pumpkin pies, and lots of them!

INGREDIENTS: 1- 29 oz. tin of canned pumpkin (This is plain pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling.)

5 eggs, beaten 2 cups of dark brown sugar 2 heaping tsp. ground cinnamon 1 heaping tsp. ground nutmeg 1 medium heaping tsp. ground ginger 1 level tsp. fine salt 1- 16 oz can of Carnation evaporated milk 3 - 9" unbaked pie shells METHOD: -Set your oven to 425 degrees F. Have your oven rack on the lowest level.

-Beat the 5 eggs in a bowl until nice and light. Add the evaporated milk and pumpkin.

-In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt together.

-Add the brown sugar and spices and salt into the pumpkin mixture. Mix well. Use a whisk.

-Pour the filling into the 3 pie shells. Divide it evenly between the 3 pie shells.

-Carefully place the pumpkin pies on the lowest baking level rack.

-Bake the pies for only 15 minutes at 425 degrees F. then lower your oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and continue to bake the pies for 40 to 50 minutes.

-Bake the pies until a cake tester inserted into the centre come out clean.

ENJOY!

Good day to you and everyone else who is taking the time to read ~The Seeker~ this week.

Good Bye September... Hello October. Hello to the beautiful colours of Mother Nature's Fall Fashion Show!!! I do really hope that you are taking some time out of your busy schedules to get out and about to witness the Beauty of Autumn!!! We are very fortunate to have a lot of great spots to view the upcoming colors, such as the ~Eco park~ at the west end of ~Lamoureux Park~, or along the ~Long Sault Parkway~, or even on the recreational path to the West of Cornwall. Let's also not forget the trails at ~Grey's Creek~, or the ones at the ~Migratory Bird Sanctuary~, as well. Our multicolor-show is short in this part of Ontario, so get out there to see the brilliance of the leaves before they are on the ground. We probably have a couple of good weeks ahead of us for leaf viewing. See You Around!!! Now, Where Are My Low- Heeled Goulashes???

ITEM OF THE WEEK: This week I would like to share a very unique item that was given to me.

(Making it another priceless gift.)

It is a purse shaped like a puppy, but made out of a coconut. It even has a beautiful satin lining inside, yet is an Authentic Coconut that is polished to look like shiny patent leather. It has to be one of the most Unique Purses that I have ever owned!!! I would like to thank my dear friend, Karen Muise who bought this for me at the old ~Agape Center~, now known as ~New for You~.

She told me she just had to buy it, as it had my name written all over it.

She was right!!! l Love It!!!

This sure was a busy week for John and I. One of my daughters, Ella Rose, was married to her childhood sweetheart, Steven on October 1st. I wrote about how they met and were re-aquainted last week... So this week I'll tell you all about the wedding. First of all, the venue was amazing, the ~INFINITY CONVENTION CENTER~ in Ottawa was just completed, and this wedding was their very first event! It's hard to describe just how beautiful this place is, but more importantly, I wish to say how beautiful the bride and the wedding was. All of my seven

children & their significant others, and most of my grandchildren were all together for the first time in many years. Some who have not been as close to me as I would like, saw a new side of me when I got up to read a short speech in front of about 150 people. Many people including promenate family members approached me afterwards to tell me my speech made an impression on them. Five years ago I would never have agreed to do a speech, but I was well prepared, both

mentally and emotionally. To see my daughter, Ella Rosey so happy with her Steven was the greatest gift I could ever receive. John took some photos, but Ella Rose runs a wedding business in Ottawa and had her own people do the official photography. Here is a photo John took of my seven children, their significant others, and six out of eight of my grandchildren. WHAT A TIME HAD BY ALL!!! Especially ME!!!

Ella Rose & Steven's wedding reception included a multi-course meal, an open bar, a free photo booth and a DJ playing great tunes to keep my family and new friends dancing all night long. This was all held in an amazing brand-new venue that my daughter, Ella Rose said cost $20 million. John and I stayed at a nearby hotel where we got to spend some "quality time" together and we enjoyed a great breakfast the next morning to end a perfect weekend. (It sort of felt like a pre-honeymoon of our own.)

The next morning we visited my Mommy, and stayed for several hours, chitting and chatting about family and many other interesting topics. She had been unable to attend the wedding due to her health, but we filled her in on the events of the previous day, along with bringing along a BIG bouquet of flowers from the wedding, and photos we showed her from our camera. After this "quality time" spent with my 76 year old Mommy... It was off to visit my youngest son, Marcus, and his gf Kelsey. Where they treated us like a King and Queen by enjoying some fine wine, eating delicious meatball subs and wedding cake, and by playing music and spending "Good Times" together. We watch a funny movie afterwards and then decided to stay overnight. Marcus & Kelsey made us a delicious breakfast the next morning. Afterwards we spent some more time chitting and chatting about life and other things. The boys decided to play some music together on two different guitars of Marcus'. What A Weekend!!!

John and I finally returned home in our new vehicle, a Chevy HHR that afternoon. This extended weekend was a great mini-holiday, despite the fact that we got home a lot more tired and spent than we were when we left. I suppose that's a sign of "Living Life to the Fullest", as the weekend was jam-packed full of Joy & Happiness with my loving family along with New & Old friends. Upon our return, John and I decided to go to sit quietly at the beach near Ingleside, to reflect on the wonderful weekend we had and to recharge our batteries.

After all...We Are Getting Old...er!!!

TIP OF THE WEEK: Don't Complicate Your Life: 1. If You Are Missing Someone... CALL! 2. Do You Want To Meet Up?...INVITE! 3. Do You Want To Be Understood? ...EXPLAIN! 4. Do You Have Questions?...ASK! 5. If, You Don't Like Something...SAY IT! 6. If, You like Something? ..STATE IT! 7. Do You Want Something?...ASK FOR IT! 8. Do You Love Someone? TELL THEM!!! Do not complicate your life by sitting around and wondering this and that and the other... DO SOMETHNG ABOUT IT!!! For me, I reached out to a couple of family members who had not been in touch with me in a long time.

Whether they respond or not, is not the issue, but the fact that I reached out makes me know in my heart that I did the right thing. I promise that reaching out to your own distant family or long, lost friends will also make your life a lot more loving and much more Positive!!!

UNTIL NEXT WEEK: Do not bother about what others think about YOU! Just FOCUS on YOUrself and Be POSITIVE! Some people are always negative ... So, Do Not Let It Bother You!!! Be Happy & Show Others That You Really Are!!! If someone doesn't like YOU, it's THEIR problem, Not Yours. If someone insults you or spreads lies, it is THEIR problem, Not Yours. It only becomes our problem when we ALLOW it to bother us. It's the law of Mind Over Matter - If You Don't Mind, They Don't/ Won't Matter!!! We can all hold our heads up high and be truly happy, despite what the naysayers are doing. Perhaps they may even come around to the positive side of life by seeing our example.

THE PAPER MILL STEAM WHISTLE For generations the Cornwall paper mill steam whistle signaled both the rhythm of routine as well as danger.

For many workers it signaled shift change. For youth of the entire community, especially those without a watch nor sense of time, it announced curfew. Although few seem to be aware nor care, here in Ontario youth under 16 are not to be on the streets nor other public places between midnight and 6 a.m. unless accompanied by a responsible adult. A repeated sequence of two or three whistle blasts announced a fire on paper mill property: Like some other large industries in the former Cornwall Township, the paper mill had its own fire brigade.

The fire signals directed the fire crew to the right area and made the entire community hold its collective breath.

In preparation for the Domtar mill closure in 2006, the day that the steam plant was to shut down, the whistle was blown long and loud one final time. An employee made an audio recording of that eerie final blast and played it for those gathered for last Friday's 10 year reunion. It seemed to pierce several attendees to their very core.

M O RRIS,RM T Can cer . This is a delicate topic for too m any people. Unfor tunately, w e can all say w e know som eone w ho has been diagnosed w ith cancer. W ith the r esear ch that has taken place in r ecent year s, m any of us ar e for tunate enough to say w e know som eone w ho has beat cancer.

Br east cancer is the m ost com m on cancer found in w om en, accor ding to the Canadian Cancer Society. Due to the high occur r ence of this disease, ther e is an abundance of infor m ation on how to detect and fight br east cancer. (I tr uly hope ever yone of you r eading this ar ticle does a br east self-exam r egular ly, like w e?ve all been taught to do.)

How ever , w hat w e don?t hear about is w hat br east cancer can do to a per son?s m ental and em otional health, even after r ecover y.

For m any w om en, br easts ar e an expr ession of fem ininity. For m other s, w e use our br easts to pr ovide nour ishm ent for our childr en. Som e w om en w ill use their br easts to attr act a par tner.

Although m ost w om en w ill com plain about their br easts being a nuisance, m any of us couldn?t im agine not having them .

In an ar ticle published in Canadian Living r ecently, the author explor ed the m any com plex feelings and thoughts that a w om en battling br east cancer can feel. The w om en in the ar ticle, r egar dless of the people r allying ar ound them telling them how str ong and beautiful they still w er e, w er e constantly r em inded of their jour ney ever ytim e they looked in the m ir r or.

Can M assage Th er apy t r eat can cer ? No. Can M assage Ther apy pr event cancer ? No! M assage Ther apy CAN r educe str ess and anxiety. M assage Ther apy CAN pr ovide a gentle, loving touch, as opposed to the som etim es cold, r ough, and painful exper ience that is cancer tr eatm ent. M assage ther apy CAN help w ith som e of the aw ful side effects som e people exper ience after cancer tr eatm ent, such as neur ological pain and dysfunction, m uscle w eakness and sor eness, scar tissue for m ation, lym phedem a, and cir culation deficiency, to nam e a few. W hether you ar e new ly diagnosed, battling the disease, or in r em ission, a Register ed M assage Ther apist w ill have tr aining for effectively tr eating these and other conditions associated w ith cancer. One other side effect of cancer of any for m is negative body im age. Even though you ar e fighting the har dest you?ve ever fought in your life, your body is still am azing.

G e ise l FOCUS ART JURIED EXHIBITION FOCUS ART exhibitions have become highly anticipated events in the Cornwall Community art scene. They have showcased local talent for over ten years. A strong supporter, the Cornwall Public Library has repeatedly transformed their space into an exhibition hall for us and loaned out storage areas to house our equipment in order to promote local art and culture.

This past spring, FOCUS ART looked to expand its audience and was fortunate to be able to relocate a pop up gallery in the Cornwall Square. The storefront located on the upper level near the food court attracted many shoppers who visited the exhibit and voted for their favourite artwork.

FOCUS ART has acquired a painting from last spring?s People?s Choice Award winner Kathleen Morin as a prize for a fall raffle. The painting is valued at $850 and each ticket is sold for $10 each. There are only 400 tickets printed and the chance to win this beautiful painting is 1 in 400 or less. The winning ticket will be drawn at FOCUS ART?S annual Christmas party on December 7, 2016. What a great Christmas present for the lucky winner!

A NOTE ABOUT ANN SUTHERLAND GRUCHY, S.C.A. www.anngruchy.com Ann Sutherland Gruchy is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists living in rural Ottawa south, working and teaching in her Kars studio. She paints in acrylic, oil and watercolour and is known for her minimalist landscapes as well as her large, bold non-representational works.

She has been an artist for 25 years, served as juror for many art groups, won numerous awards and taught classes and workshops in watercolour and acrylic/ mixed media. She holds regular ?Open Studio Workshops?.

Soon, FOCUS ART will be presenting a Juried Exhibition at the Square. The difference between a juried show and a regular exhibition is that all the artwork shown in the exhibit will be adjudicated by a professional artist. This year?s juror is Ann Sutherland Gruchy, S.C.A. The jury process will take place on Saturday October 15 from 10 am to 4 pm.

Participating artists will be invited for the judging.

The public is also invited to drop in and observe the proceedings to see how and why artwork is picked for exhibits.

Ann is an active member of the Art Lending of Ottawa, a not-for-profit artists' cooperative; OMMA, North Gower/ Kars DISCOVERY TOUR and the Manotick Art Association. Her work is shown at Norman Felix Gallery, Toronto, ON, Artemisia Gallery, Westport, ON, The Grotto, Merrickville, ON, Gruchy Studio / Gallery KARS, ON and the Balderson Gallery

The public will have the opportunity to meet our artists during the event?s opening party. This party, called a ?vernissage? is set for Friday October 21 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The selected works will be on display from October 20 to 30, with the store open on each Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of these two weeks. Visitors can participate in a ?name the painting? contest for a chance to win a gift certificate from the Cailuan Gallery on Pitt St.

what most people would call ghosts. As an empath, energy healer, teacher and transitional dream-walker, it was anything but fun to feel what all these disembodied spirits were actually feeling. Most of them had died after being unjustly accused of witchcraft and being subjected D.Div., C.A.E.H., C.D.W., C.S.H. to torture of the most agonizing methods and so when their physical body?s died, the emotions of fear, grief, anger and revenge prevented most of them from crossing over and left them earthbound.

The Essence of A Ghost

* * Note: This is a re-print of my last article with the CORRECTED workshop date* *

It?s that time of year again when the weather cools down, the leaves turn beautiful colours, pumpkin spice everything is all around us and we begin to think about Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas holidays. Halloween is probably my favourite holiday, followed closely by Christmas. My thoughts now turn to the fun of Halloween night, which will bring so many kids to our door, as I participate in making the house look as scarily enticing as I can with the full effects of smoke, scary music, spooky decorations and of course, getting dressed up to terrorize everyone who ventures near. Halloween is one of those nights where it?s fun to be scared, where it?s alright to take on the persona of someone or something else and to hide behind a mask for a while. Can you imagine though being scared and behind a mask all the time?

It?s also the time of year when all the ?haunted walks?, ?spooky rides?, and ?ghost hunting? begins. It?s very interesting to watch how others will flock to events and places that might just contain the energies of ghosts, spirits, poltergeist and demons in order to be ?scared?. Last year, I had the privilege of being in Salem, Mass. in the middle of October with my family, all of whom are energy workers and we attended some of the more recognized sites that most definitely do contain the energies of

It?s all good and fun to go looking for ghosts but unfortunately, most people don?t know what to do with one when they find it. There are many TV shows that look for proof that they even exist. I can tell you from personal experience that they do, and you won?t only find them in a graveyard; they exist everywhere and will often try to return to the places and people that are compatible with their energy. Ghosts used to be people, who died with unfinished business. They are in a lot of pain because if they weren?t, they wouldn?t be ghosts. They would have moved on into the light of love but because they left their physical body holding onto heavy, negative energies, they have stayed earthbound, wandering aimlessly until they can find closure.

When I find a ghost, I will always try to give this being what it needs from my loving heart to help it move on and find peace. That?s just who I am and it?s an ability that I?ve been gifted with. If you?d like to get more information on ghosts and the paranormal, I?d invite you to our upcoming workshop on October 16 in Cornwall called ?Piercing The Supernatural Veil- Developing Your Paranormal Intuition and Cleansing Abilities.? We?ll educate you and show you how to possibly help these lost souls to move on with their existence instead of just giving you a momentary thrill of connecting with them because that?s just what love would do.

Th e Dad Sh ow 12 Week Ch al l enge Welcome to The-Dad-Show 12 week health challenge!! Over the next 12 weeks, we'll be talking about the right kind of fuel we need to feed our bodies and how we can improve our overall health. Basically a kickstart to guide you in the right direction towards your own personal health goals. We all deserve a healthier lifestyle and hopefully we can achieve this together. **** We are not health professionals. We are individuals that want a healthier lifestyle and want to motivate others along the way.

Week 5 Chal l enge The-Dad-Show challenges you to prepare a new healthy snack. Again, variety is key when eating healthy and part of it is replacing those fat or surgery snacks with something fun and healthy. ...be creative. Tips will be given on The-Dad-Show episode of Thursday October 5th @8pm, only on www.dunet.ca. All shows are recorded and available to listen from our website after the live broadcast.

The main benefit for making a new healthy snack is that it will make your repertoire that much bigger and that makes it less likely for you to make a bad snack decision. When you reach for a healthy snack first, you're halfway there!

Wh y I'm doin g it I decided to do the 12 week challenge for motivation.

Although I eat healthy most of the time, living with someone who eats whatever/ whenever wasn't helping me.

About 9 yrs ago, we started eating organic, eliminating chemicals from our food and household.

One thing I've been wanting to better myself by was quitting coffee and red wine (Mmm wine) and what better way?

It's been difficult so far but I've definitely cut down! I knew it wasn't going to be easy with 3 children but I need to be a good role model for them.
