LUCIO I've run out of t hings t o say The political climate in the United States has got me speechless. I don't think I've ever witnessed such a nasty election. Even the Bush / Gore recount in Florida in 2000 has nothing on this one. Every day, more scandalous skeletons come out of each of the candidates' closets. Even the raw horror of The Walking Dead seems pale in comparison. Talk about a scary Haloween! It's just exhausting. So I'm mentally drained. I will return next week, after we know the results of this God Forsaken Election. I'm sure my tonge will be untied by then... Especially in front of a Trump Victory. Have a nice week...

LOCAL BLUES BAND NOMINATED FOR FIVE AWARDS - The Paul DesLauriers Band have been nominated in five categories at this year?s Maple Blues Awards. They have been nominated for: Entertainer of the Year, Electric Act of the Year, Guitarist of the Year- Paul DesLauriers, Bassist of the Year ? Greg Morency, and Drummer of the Year-Sam Harrisson. ?It?s an honour, of course to be recognized by our peers in the industry and even more special when those recognition?s come from fan-based votes. We never make music with the goal of winning awards and the like, we are just humbly working to make the best music we know how to and hope it appeals to people. So when that does come, it?s certainly gratifying,? Paul Deslauriers said. Online voting for Maple Blues Awards begins on November 1st.
EMPTY BOWLS FUNDRAISER FOR AGAPÈ CENTRE - The idea behind the event is that after sharing a meal, everyone will go home with a beautiful but empty pottery bowl ? serving as a reminder of those in our community who go hungry. Agapè is bringing the popular fundraiser to Cornwall for the first time on Sunday November 13. Event-goers get to choose a unique handcrafter bowl, fill it with gourmet soup by local chefs paired with a fresh bun and apple crisp for dessert. After eating the meal with friends, each guest takes home their one-of-a-kind bowl, all for a $30 ticket. ?This fundraiser brings people together to share in a hearty meal, so it dovetails nicely with our mission,? said Johanne Gauthier, Operations Manager at the Agapè Centre. Ann Marlin, local potter of over 40 years, and founder of Marlin Orchards, volunteered to gather 100 bowl donations from local and area artisans, each piece valued at $25-$40 each. ?Empty Bowls is a project that is quite familiar to potters. They are very earthy people and close to nature using natural resources to make a bowl, which symbolizes the importance of the work of the Agapè Centre to keep the bowls filled,? said Marlin. ?The response of the potters in my recent show was tremendous! They were all so enthusiastic and generous.? The event takes place Sunday November 13 upstairs at the Agapè Centre, with three sittings: 11am, 12pm and 1pm. There will also be a silent auction. 3rd Annual Candl el ight Vigil Friends of Vet s - The 3rd Annual Candlelight Vigil for Veterans and Soldiers with PTSD took place Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016 at the Cornwall Legion Cenotaph starting at
5:30pm. The candlelight vigil is to honour and support for our military heroes and their families after suicide. Many Canadian war heroes are still hurting after serving our country proudly in battle. They return home broken and so many end their lives because of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). There are almost 59 Canadian military soldiers claimed suicides each year since the war ended while 158 were killed in combat action during the Afghan War. Very few of these soldiers ask for help or they are not getting the proper help needed. This continuing rate of military and veteran suicides is very disturbing. Friends of Vets, a local peer to peer support group, here in Cornwall helping military veterans, their families and friends letting them know that they are not alone to suffer with any difficulties that they may be experiencing. Many of us in Friends of Vets still are hurting with PTSD issues after our military service. People with PTSD are at high risk for suicide. News of so many suicides in the military is unacceptable to us and we gladly stand up for our fallen brothers and sisters and speak out to our government, our military leaders, and our community in letting everyone know this problem is real so that we all may help to prevent any more suicides in our Canadian Military and Veterans. CORNWALL NATIONALS WIN HOME OPENER IN OT ? Lou Dickenson scored at 1:14 of overtime to give the Cornwall Nationals a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Danville Dashers on Sunday afternoon. Cornwall?s inaugural Federal Hockey League home opener was played in front of 971 fans at the Civic Complex. Dickenson also scored the first ever Nationals goal, 41 seconds into the contest on a breakaway. Cornwall outshot Danville 38-32. Dickenson (first), Brausen (second) and the speedy Graham were the announced stars. The Nationals are back in action next Friday when they visit the Berlin River Drivers. Cornwall is back on home ice Saturday, Nov. 5 vs. the Watertown Wolves. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. MPP JIM MCDONELL CRITICAL OF ENERGY RATES MPP Jim McDonell questioned the Premier today regarding her Government?s continued mismanagement of Ontario?s energy system by presenting examples of constituents facing energy poverty and pointing to the Government?s questionable figures in the planned deal to buy power from Quebec. ?Ontarians, especially in rural areas, have been facing unaffordable electricity bills for years? MPP Jim McDonell commented. ?Rates have quadrupled since they
took office and extra charges such as the Global Adjustment have sent bills through the roof. Ontarians have already overpaid $37 billion through the Global Adjustment and will pay $133 billion more by 2032. The Premier said it was ?worth it?, but it clearly wasn?t. The latest actions on the electricity file have been prompted not by a policy awakening by the Premier, but by a loss in the safe seat of Scarborough-Rouge River. How many more constituents?misery is the Premier?s energy delusion worth?? The Government recently announced that a new deal to buy power from the Province of Quebec would save ratepayers $70 million over 10 years. When questioned on CFRA, the Minister of Energy stated a saving of 10 cents, but avoided stating over what time period, despite repeated prodding by the host.

THO M PSO N I have started my Christmas baking! Beginning with my meat pies. It was a process taking a couple of days, first cooking up the ground pork and chilling it. Then after work on Saturday night, I made up 2 batches of pie pastry, then chilled this overnight. Sunday arternoon, I assembled them.
M M E. JEHA NE BENOI T'S RECI PE FOR PORK TOURTI ERE
I used Mme. Jehane Benoit's recipe for her pastry and pork filling. The queen of French Canadian cooking and a past representative for Tenderflake Lard. Remember seeing her on TV making pie crusts using Tenderflake Lard in the TV commercial? I first made this recipe in the year 2000. Knowing that she made this, I knew the results would be perfect. I have written in my journal, what tender, flaky pastry and delicious meat filling it was. Her pastry is completely different to what I am used to doing. You cut 1- 1/ 3 cups of Tenderflake lard into the dry flour mix and with the remaining lard, you stir it into a cupful of boiling water, stirring until dissolved. When you stir this into the pastry mixture, it feels almost fluffy, not like ordinary pastry. One recipe uses 4 tsp. of baking powder and 4 tsp. of lemon juice. If you have any trouble making pie crust, this recipe is the one for you to make. It must be refrigerated for 1 hour to 12 hours before you can roll it out to use. It rolls out easily and won't tear when you lift it into your pie plate. You have to try this!
INGREDIENTS -
-
5 cups of unbleached all-purpose flour 4 tsp. baking powder (level) 2 tsp. fine salt (level) 1 lb. Tenderflake lard - divided into 11/ 3 cups and 1 cup (at room temperature) 1 cupful of boiling water (Place in a bowl, just when ready to use.) 4 tsp. lemon juice 1 egg beaten well
METHOD: -In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt together, using a whisk or sifting this together. -Divide the lard into 1- 1/ 3 cups, following the guide on the box of lard for the proper measurement. -Add the 1- 1/ 3 cups of lard to the flour mixture and using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the lard into the flour until the size of small peas or chunky cornmeal. -Now have the water boiling and pour this into a bowl. Immediately, add in the remaining 1 cup of lard. (I first cut this into chunks before I added it into the boiling water to speed up the melting process.) Stir this until all of the lard has melted into the water. -Beat the egg in a small bowl and to this add the 4 tsp. of lemon juice. (I just used my bottle of Real Lemon Juice from the fridge. It works just fine.) -Add the beaten egg and lemon juice into the melted lard and water. By this time, the mixture has cooled enough that it won't cook the beaten egg mixture. Whisk this in to mix well. -Now, add this liquid mixture into the dry flour and lard mix. I used a plastic bowl scraper to gently combine everything. -Once mixed thoroughly, shape the pastry into balls and place them in a large ziploc or plastic bag. I made 10 balls of pastry per recipe. This was just the right size for rolling out a pie crust for my 9" pie plates. Place them in your fridge for 1 to 12 hours. I did this from overnight to the next afternoon. -Of course, I use my pastry cloth and rolling pin cover with just a sprinkling of flour to prevent the dough from sticking on the cloth and rolling pin cover as you roll it out.
-Gently place each rolled out pie crust into the pie plates. My Mum taught me to fold the circle of pie crust into 1/ 4's, then place it in your pie plate. You can also gently roll it over your rolling pin and unroll it over the pie plate.Carefully and gently press the bottom and sides of the pie crust into the pie plate. Using a knife, cut off the pastry right at the edge of the pie plate. -Now you can fill the pastry with your chilled pork tourtiere filling. -Roll out a second pie crust, having it about 1" larger than the top of your pie plate. Or cut off excess pie crust around the pastry to 1" past the rim. -Take the pastry and gently fold it under the rim of the bottom pie crust. This method will completely seal any filling into your pastry. You will follow this method whether your pie filling is sweet or savoury. Crimp the edges for a pretty seal.
flaky layers of lard and your crust will not be flaky and tender. -Top with the top crust. (See above in my pastry recipe to know how to cut the pastry and turn the rim of the crust underneath the bottom pastry crust. -Bake the pies until golden in a 400 degree F. oven. Or wrap and freeze the unbaked pies. Label and date each pie. -A cooked tourtiere can be frozen from 4 to 5 months only. -I keep my unbaked frozen tourtieres for 1 year easily. Remember that the meat filling has already been cooked. ENJOY!
-Two recipes of this pastry made 7 meat pies, 3 mincemeat pies and 2 pie shells.
MME. JEHANE BENOIT'S RECIPE FOR PORK TOURTIERE FILLIING THIS IS FOR 1 PIE - INCREASE QUANTITIES ACCORDINGLY TO MAKE MORE PIES INGREDIENTS: -
1 lb. of lean ground pork 1 small onion chopped finely 1 small garlic clove, finely minced 1/ 2 tsp. fine salt 1/ 4 tsp. celery salt 1/ 4 tsp. ground cloves 1/ 2 cup of water 1/ 4 to 1/ 2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
METHOD: -Place eveything except the bread crumbs in a large heavy bottomed pot. -Bring the water to a boil and cook the mixture for about 20 minutes over MEDIUM heat. -Lift the pot from the heat and add a few spoonfuls of the dry bread crumbs. Allow this to stand for 10 minutes. If the fat is sufficiently absorbed in the bread crumbs, do not add any more bread crumbs. If it isn't, continue to add more crumbs in the same manner. -Cool the meat, then spoon it into the pastry lined pie plate. NEVER add HOT meat filling into a pie crust as you will melt the

BAKER
November has snuck up on us. It's hard to believe next month contains both Christmas and New Year's Eve, but we are near to that time of year. Where did October go? It seems to have flown by, and I sure hope the cold winter months fly by as well. The good side to this is that it is STILL possible to find trees with glorious colors on the leaves. Normally by this time of year, all of the leaves are soggy brown or dingy yellow and under our feet. We've had a wonderful color show this fall, and as I mentioned, it isn't even finished yet. Here's what Robert Frost had to say about the month of November: "As the dead leaves lie huddled and still, No longer blown hither and thither; The last lone aster is gone; The flowers of the witch-hazel wither..." Just reading that makes me want to find my mittens! TIP OF THE WEEK: Be sure to set your clocks back on November 6th. It is important to set the clock in your car while you are parked. Apparently, a large number of people attempt to change their clocks while driving. This is a BAD idea, and you can be charged with distracted driving if caught, not to mention you are risking your life as well as those around you. Did you know that for the days following the time change, there is an increase in car accidents, simply because everyone is adjusting their body's sleep schedule? Some studies have reported as much as a ten percent increase in accidents in the fall, and a seventeen percent increase in the spring. So be a little more cautious and make sure you continue with as normal a sleeping pattern as you are able to. Although the number of heart attacks can increase after the spring time change, they also DROP in the fall for three weeks following the time change. To make the change easier on yourself, start a few days earlier, staying up a bit later each night and getting up a bit later if your schedule allows. That way there is less of a shock when the clocks do change in the fall. I was able to enjoy a mini-vacation at a 150 year old inn in Merrickville
last Saturday. John and I had done work for the owner, and he invited us for a fantastic dinner, and an overnight stay in the bridal suite, all at no cost to us! We also went to a nearby bar to celebrate Halloween, and you can see a photo of me as a Transylvanian Countess in our hotel room. While in Merrickville, we visited a number of local shops, including Rideau Creek Landing and Kate's Treats & Treasures where I was able to find some unique fashion items. We were only there for the last part of Saturday, and the beginning of Sunday - yet it felt like an entire weekend. The funny thing was that a year ago we photographed the bridal suite, and I remember commenting on how nice it would be "if only" we could stay there one day. And so my little dream came true. Never be afraid to wish for things, because you never know what thoughts you may have that will turn into reality one day. So think kind thoughts, and never be afraid to wish big! ITEM OF THE WEEK: This week, I would like to show off an ear-ring holder that John bought me on our weekend away. Not only is it a nice little statue to enjoy, but it holds up to 50 earrings in little holes around the brim of the hat, as well as a few finger rings at the base. COMMUNITY NEWS: Jamming for Hospice is less than a month away. If you'd like to get involved, or just to attend, there are still tickets available. Please contact Patti Edwards @ 613-551-0110. Thank you in Advance. I look forward to seeing a lot of you there. I'll get a good view of you too, as I'm the M.C. and will be spending quite a bit of time on stage, introducing the musical acts, and being well out of my comfort zone! UNTIL NEXT WEEK: Have fun and stay humble. After Albert Einstein became famous, people hounded him for autographs. Here's what he had to say about it: "Sometimes, surrounded by all this good cheer, I'm puzzled by some of the things that I hear. And wonder, my mind for a moment not hazy, if I and not they, could really be crazy."

How ever , the obvious opposite to thinking is the r eality that som e things need ver y fast thinking and r apid decisions that w ill pr oduce sound r esults. This r apid m ental pr ocess is the type of thinking that tells you that you'r e not going to connect w ith a per son the m om ent that you m eet him /her , or that a poor ly placed ladder is going to fall and needs to be shifted pr onto, or that you need to quickly jum p out of the w ay now of an out-of-contr ol car. How do you put together r apid m ental pr ocess w ith r eflective thinking under the r ubr ic of 'com m on sense'? It's sim ple - spend your r eflecting tim e w isely so that you w ill r eact w isely w hen quick thinking is r equir ed. Com m on sense builds on your thinking over past exper iences, enabling you to r efine your under standing of the w or ld and how it w or ks tim e and tim e again. This is in contr ast to a per son w ho only r eacts on gut r eactions, biases, and has failed to consider pr evious exper iences.

?I like that I can just hop in my car and dr ive dow n to Cor nw all and per for m in a beautiful r oom like the Aultsville Theatr e. The island of New foundland is as big as Texas but the entir e population is only about 500,000, so ther e r eally isn?t enough w or k to sustain an ar tist like m e. I m iss the sm ell of the sea,? Sean M cCann stated. The r oad fr om Ottaw a to Cor nw all is about an hour aw ay, but the r oad to r ecover y w as a m uch longer jour ney for Sean M cCann. The stor y of Sean M cCann?s str uggle w ith alcoholism br oke out w hen he w as inter view ed by CBC. It had been announced that he w ould be leaving Gr eat Big Sea after the bands 20th Anniver sar y tour (w hich included a stop at the Civic Com plex her e in Cor nw all Ontar io). Sean M cCann, w ho r eleased the solo album ?Help Your self ?, lear ned to help him self and has been sober for five year s this Novem ber. He r ecounts the suppor t fr om his w ife and fam ily, and he r em inds us that w e ar e all w or thy of being loved, and that w ith fam ily w e ar e never alone. W ith that suppor t, he w as able to help him self. ?I r ealized I had a pr oblem w hen I tur ned 40 and began to exper ience blackouts. I googled the ter m ?alcoholic? and a questionnair e cam e up and I passed w ith flying colour s. I tr ied and failed to quit dr inking sever al tim es and it w as only thr ough the inter vention of my w ife that I w as able to finally face my past and over com e my addiction. M usic is my m edicine and my str uggle is ongoing but seem s to get easier as tim e m oves for w ar d. I w ill be 5 year s sober on Novem ber 9th and I feel gr eat. I w ould r em ind anyone w ho suffer s fr om addiction that w e ar e all w or thy of love and that together w e ar e never alone,? Sean M cCann r em inisced. Sean M cCann is pr oud of w hat he, Alan Doyle, and Bob Hallett accom plished
?We ar e still financially entangled unfor tunately, so once a year ther e ar e accountants and law yer s to pay off but other than that w e ar e not r eally in contact. I am pr oud of w hat w e accom plished in Gr eat Big Sea but ultim ately it w as an unhealthy place for m e and I have no desir e to go back . I w ish both Alan and Bob w ell in w hatever paths they choose.
Sean M cCann has been m aking a nam e for him self as a solo ar tist. He had a successful fir st album r ecor ded by Joel Plaskett. He also r eleased ?The Sean M cCann Song Book Volum e One?. The book sold out and is now on its second pr essing. Ther e w ill be a volum e tw o, and new songs out by ear ly 2017. ?I am alm ost thr ough my second pr essing and people seem to have r eally em br aced the idea of com bining the songs w ith M eaghan Sm ith?s br illiant Ar tw or k along w ith M usical notation, lyr ics, and guitar chor ds. It w as a lot of w or k ? a tr ue labour of love but in the end it definitely r esonated w ith my audience and helped ever yone sing along so I believe it w as w or th all the effor t. I w ill be w or king on Volum e 2 w ith my fr iend and Ottaw a neighbour Jer emy Fisher ear ly in the new year. Songw r iting is a habit I just can?t seem to quit,? Sean M cCann added.

Article and Photo by Jason Setnyk Cornwall Ontario ? Geof Isherwood, whose name will appear in the credits of the upcoming Marvel movie release Doctor Strange, will be visiting Cornwall next week.
guest at the Red Carpet World Premiere of Marvel?s Doctor Strange in Hollywood California on October 20th. He recounts his experience and meeting Benedict Cumberbatch afterwards.
Comic book artist, film concept illustrator, and storyboard artist Geof Isherwood will be at Fantasy Realm on Saturday November 5th from 10am to 5pm to meet comic fans.
?I received a surprise email invitation from Marvel to the world premiere of the movie on October 20th. So, my wife Amanda and I decided we could not miss this opportunity, and flew out to L.A. and Hollywood. It was fascinating to observe the entire red carpet event live, and from the inside,? said Geof Isherwood.
Geof Isherwood has done work for both Marvel and DC Comics including such titles as Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, Conan the Barbarian, Daredevil, Suicide Squad, and more. He has also been a penciller and inker for such titles as The Astonishing Spider-Man, the Fantasic Four: Atlantis Rising, Thor, and X-Men. His movie credits include the 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse and the 2009 horror-thriller Orphan. Now he can add Doctor Strange, a comic he first started work on twenty-five years ago, to his credits. He was given special thanks in the movie credits, and he got to see it first hand at the official World Premiere. Geof Isherwood was a special
Geof Isherwood was impressed with the movie and Benedict Cumberbatch?s performance as Doctor Strange ? he thought the film, the visual effects, and acting were excellent, inventive, and awe-inspiring. ?The movie itself was excellent. No spoilers, but I can say that while the visuals were so inventive and awe-inspiring, Benedict Cumberbatch?s performance of Doc was so human that he grounded the story in reality, and that made it work. Also, there is enough humour sprinkled in that adds nervous
relief, and in places you would never expect. This was one movie that grows on you in retrospect, and, to me, provides a crossover for moviegoers do are not normally Marvel fans, yet has enough specific references to Dr. Strange lore that us longtime fans (and artists) are left slavering for more. What these movies can show the public is how much imagination went into these characters in the comics that so many have dismissed over the years as juvenile nonsense. Folks can see what attracted us as readers when we were kids,? Geof Isherwood disclosed. Geof and Amanda enjoyed the magic they saw on screen, and they enjoyed the magic after the screening where they met the star of the new superhero blockbuster movie. ?To top things off, Amanda and I were invited to an after-party at the Magic Castle, a private club for magicians. There, we had the rare chance to meet and speak for a few minutes with Mr. Cumberbatch himself, a thoroughly charming and gracious man,? Geof Isherwood recounted.
Earlier this year Geof Isherwood?s name could be spotted in the credits of the the X-Men: Apocalypse movie as a conceptual artist. He had previously worked on X-Men: Days of Future Past. He has also worked on Battlefield Earth starring John Travolta, Gothika starring Halle Berry, and The Fountain starring Hugh Jackman, and as a storyboard artist in the 2009 horror-thriller Orphan. Geof Isherwood's comic book resume includes work on Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, Conan the Barbarian, Daredevil, Suicide Squad, The Astonishing Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising, Thor, X-Men and more. For those who would like to meet Geof Isherwood in person, they can do so on November 5th. Fantasy Realm is located at 227 Pitt Street in downtown Cornwall Ontario.

M O RRIS,RM T When someone we care about is sick or unable to care for themselves, we do everything we can to help them. From lending an ear while they talk about what?s hurting, to making chicken noodle soup and washing their dishes, to driving them to and from medical appointments and cleaning their house and bathing them, caregivers play a very important role. Some are paid caregivers, such as nurses and personal support workers, entering a sick person?s home to provide some much needed care or tending to them in a hospital or nursing home setting. Some are spouses, children, parents, siblings. Regardless of the relationship or whether or not a caregiver is paid for their efforts, it is exhausting. Many caregivers suffer burnout.
I have seen quite a few people suffer from the stress of caring for someone else. The stress and exhaustion associated with caring for another person can lead to physical maladies on the caregivers part; diminished immune system, aching body, lack of energy. It can also lead to mental and emotional stress and anxiety, difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, and constant exhaustion. Some online resources list ways to prevent burnout:
- Get outside and walk in the sunlight - Connect with people who can offer YOU support - Get a healthy diet full of mood boosting nutrients, as well as plenty of water - Join a caregiver support group - Get enough sleep so you can feel rested I would add to these that making time for you is key. Whether you enjoy a movie by yourself or with your family, getting together with friends to play a sport or cards or gossip, or a hobby such as painting or crafting, making time in your week (or every two weeks if you?re too busy) can give you something to look forward to as a reward to a hard week or month. If you are starting to feel exhaustion from your role as caregiver, give your RMT a call and schedule a massage. While we can?t remove your exhaustion and make your role less stressful, we can provide an environment that, for an hour or so, is just about you and your well-being. As I?ve mentioned in previous articles, massage can help lower stress and anxiety, aide sleep, relax your mind, and boost energy levels in some cases. Massage also treats the aches and pains that are associated with stress and lack of sleep. You?re doing everything for someone else, why not let me take care of you?

The-Dad-Show challenges you to speak up and help bring awareness to men's health. To the women out there, help us spread the word and help to prevent young men from dying too early. Listen to The-Dad-Show episode of Thursday November 4th @8pm, only on www.dunet.ca. All shows are recorded and available to listen from our website after the live broadcast.
The benef it s of spreading t his awareness is monument al and can help save the lives of the ones that might be a bit too stubborn to go get checked out. Proper nutrition and exercise will go a long way to prevent all kinds of health issues that men deal with at a early age and can be prevented. Getting checked out also helps as if we catch something in its early stage, greater chance we have at reversing it and live long healthy lives.
Might as well take advantage of the shock and awe effect and help spread some awareness about men's health. Yes the magical, powerful beard has been shaved off in support of bringing more awareness to men's health. As mentioned before, it's the main reason why I set out and battle the daily struggle of fueling my body with the right nutrients. I figure I have a better chance at a longer life if I prevent rather than wait to treat a sickness that I developed due to a poor eating lifestyle, it's the main reason why I started The-Dad-Show 12 week health challenge. Too many men out there are diying way too young an age when it could have been prevented and that's the message we want to get across. Is it worth shaving this sexy beard? If I can get one person to pay attention to the seriousness of this, ABSOLUTELY !

Riverview 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. At its peak, Riverview was bounded on the north by McDonald Avenue (Third Street East), on the east by Belfort Street (St. Felix Street), on the west by Guy Street and on the south by Montreal Road. PHOTO: Interior of former St. Felix de Valois Church The original name Belfort Street is in relation to Fort Augustus (a former windmill converted to a fort); the current name St. Felix Street is in honour of the patron saint of the original St. Felix de Valois Church. That Church and its parish school were in Riverview, St. Felix de Valois Church was constructed on Montreal Road at the intersection of St. Felix Street in 1937 and succumbed to an electrical fire on its 50th anniversary in 1987. A modern church replacement by the same name was erected at 620 Glengarry Blvd. Built in 1838, in response to the 1837 Rebellion, the structure was the only masonry fortification located in the PHOTO: Fort Augustus Eastern District. The conversion from windmill to fort was done under the command of Colonel C.B.Turner, commander of the Eastern District along with Captain George Phillpots of the Royal Engineers. Loophole embrasures were punched into the sides of the masonry mill and the roof was raised a few feet to accommodate the octagonal observation gallery. Following the rebellions in Upper and Lower Canada, the fort was abandoned and sat silently in a field for decades. In 1929, Miss Bertha Colquhoun, the owner of the property, donated a small patch of land upon which the fort stood to the Township of Cornwall, on the condition that the township agreed to ?maintain the fort and grounds as a public park.? Residential expansion in Cornwall soon enveloped the site. The fort had deteriorated due to neglect and was seen as a hazard to the youth of the area. In the summer of 1944, the Township of Cornwall demolished the Fort. It would now be located near 404 Easton St. and St. Felix Street. ?

Befor e 2008, a pr oper ty ow ner could get a 40 year am or tization. In 2008 that changed fr om 40 year s to 35 year s. In 2011, fr om 35 year s to 30 year s and r ecently, in 2012, the m axim um am or tization for m ost m or tgages changed fr om 30 year s to 25 year s. Som e longer am or tizations w er e available fr om som e lender s if you had over 20% equity in your hom e but the new announcem ent lim its that possibility. If lender s decide to continue som e m or tgages am or tizations over 25 year s, they w ill now star t to char ge higher inter est for those m or tgages. Basically, the am or tization is the num ber of year s that the total m or tgage can be spr ead over. The longer the am or tization, the longer it takes to pay off your m or tgage but the sm aller your m or tgage paym ents. For instance, on a $200,000 m or tgage am or tized over 40 year s (at an inter est r ate of 3%), the paym ents w ould be $713.83 m onthly. The sam e m or tgage am or tized over 25 year s is $946.49. That?s a m onthly differ ence of $232.66. This could be the differ ence betw een an appr oval or a decline. The significance of this change is not only the am ount of m or tgage paym ent that you use to qualify your initial pur chase but also influences your r efinance options in the futur e. If you w ant to r efinance your hom e and you cur r ently have over 25 year s left on your m or tgage, you have no choice but to use the new m axim um r efinance am or tization of 25 year s or less. This m ay lim it the am ount of m or tgage you can qualify for in or der to pull out equity fr om your hom e. * * Please not that by continuing to sim ply r enew your cur r ent m or tgage w ith your lender , you avoid any involvem ent w ith the changes but if you ar e looking to m ake any sor t of change, you now have to abide by the new r ules.* * If you ar e in the m iddle of pur chasing or r efinancing your hom e, please contact m e and w e can go over your par ticular situation to see if this change w ill affect your ability to get the m or tgage you ar e looking for.

They Do What at Her High School ?
BURKE
I asked my daughter what I should write about this week and she mentioned the peer pressure at her high school with regards to cell phones. The pressure is all about what phone you have as opposed to what phone you should have. As in, you have an iPhone 4? Really? You might as well be using stone knives and bear skins. Like, you absolutely need the newest iPhone 7 or you just are not up to date. And this pressure exists within the Android community as well. You have a Galaxy S5? Well, obviously you've done something to upset your parents otherwise you'd be using the Galaxy S7 by now. Apparently her school's "cell phone police" even confront teachers who have old technology; 2 years being considered old. While there have been no lynchings at her school yet, she tells me that there tends to be quite a bit of teasing and mock shunning. It can't be too serious though, my daughter is using a 4 year old Nexus 4 and she has yet to be tarred and
feathered. I remember when I was in high school, I felt fortunate that I had a TI-30 calculator, and nobody tried to pressure me into buying the HP 41C. In other news, the Samsung Note 7 is still a topic of discussion. Originally the problem with these phones, the burning battery, was due to faulty batteries. Samsung didn't make the battery, some other company did. And Samsung responded quickly, making sure that consumers with affected phones could exchange them for one with a non-defective battery. Unfortunately, continuing reports of burning phones prompted Samsung to discontinue production and recall all Samsung Note 7 phones world wide. It appears that all cell phone stores that sold the Note 7 will allow for an over the counter exchange for another phone. Good to see that manufacturers and retailers are doing the right thing, right away! With only about six weeks until Christmas, and three weeks until Black Friday, I will be starting the technology buyers guide next week. Computers and peripherals, portable electronics and even some software might find its way onto the list. Have a great weekend and enjoy the fall weather while it lasts.
