LUCIO 'Tis t he Season Every year, the Santa Claus Parade kicks off the Season.

Nothing puts you more in the Christmas Spirit than watching all the pretty floats skillfully decorated and, of course, seeing Santa arrive in our streets.

This year, for the first time, I walked -- or rather ran-- in the parade and it was such a blessing to see all the people anxiously awaiting the arrival of Santa. Kids and adults alike had sparkles in their eyes and were enjoying the music, lights and festive mood.

Christmas is a joyous time. It is a time for us to gather together, eat, drink and be merry. It is a time where we get to spoil one another in the hopes of showing our feelings, our appreciation, our gratitude to each other. Of course, the gifts are but a token, a symbol and regardless of the size, or the cost, they all mean the same: we are loved.

Everybody can help and no donation is too small.

Last Sunday, I held the Very BIG Christmas Show at the Civic Complex. Partial proceeds of the event was donated the the Christmas Children's Fund to help in their efforts to feed and bless 1300 families this year. It's a small donation, but I hope it helps buy a few turkeys. And on the 20th, I will be at the armories helping sort out toys and distribute items. I invite you to do the same.

A good friend of mine, a champion volunteer, told me earlier this week that he didn't know if he does what he does to help others or to help himself. I know exactly what he means. Because when you really think about it, giving of yourself can be so rewarding that the line between what you give and what you get becomes really faint.

Unfortunately, not everybody goes through this time of year the same way. Many are alone.

Many are ill. Many are poor. Many are cold.

Some can't afford toys. Some can't even afford food.

Thankfully, many organizations, like the Children's Christmas Fund, have programs in place to try and help the less fortunate with going through this challenging time of the year.

This year, some 1300 local families will receive Christmas Baskets. In additions to all the ingredients required to make a good traditional Christmas dinner like potatoes, stuffing and turkey, the basket also contains much needed every day items such as milk, eggs, cereal and of course, some toys for the kids.

LUIS DEFEATS URUSQUIETA - Tony ?Lightning? Luis defeated Christian Urusquieta by unanimous decision Saturday night in Mississauga. Tony Luis now has a 22-3 record. ?I need to thank my opponent, Christian Uruzquieta for putting up a great fight. He hasn?t lost in 6 years and was on a 10 fight winning streak. And I can see why. I need to thank my new Promoters of Liveco Entertainment as well as United Promotions for giving me this opportunity. This was the perfect fight to get me back on track. It wasn?t pretty. And I have things to work on. But I am back,? said Tony Luis on social media. Tony Luis was also the Seeker Choice Award for Athlete of the Year in 2014 as voted by our readers.

WENDAL CLARK ANNOUNCES WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY STOP IN CORNWALL - NHL alumni Wendel Clark helped make the announcement that the road to the World Junior Hockey Championship will include a stop in Cornwall Ontario. The former NHL player laced up for six teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs, Quebec Nordiques, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks. Wendel Clark, the two time NHL All-Star, was the perfect choice to help make the World Junior Hockey announcement at the RBC in Cornwall Ontario on Friday. He was a gold medal winner for Canada at the 1985 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship. He has first hand experience playing at the tournament and winning. Sweden will face-off versus Slovakia for a World Junior Exhibition Game at the Cornwall Civic Complex on Monday, December 19th, 2016. The game

CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP CANDIDATE AIDS CORNWALL MAN Is there a Conservative doctor in the house? When MP Kellie Leitch arrived in Cornwall this morning for a Conservative Leadership Breakfast, she was planning to give a speech and meet party members, not offer medical services. Crash! After a kitchen staff employee at the Royal Canadian Legion collapsed and fell to the ground, Leitch quickly got up from her seat to aid the man. The orthopaedic paediatric surgeon announced, ?I?m a doctor?, as she moved through a crowd of people, and knelt beside the man to check his condition. A few minutes later the man was able to sit up and eventually he was able to stand on his own accord. An organizer asked if an ambulance needed to be called, but Leitch indicated that would not be necessary. ?He just tripped, I just made sure he was okay. He?s fine?, said Kellie Leitch who downplayed the event. Her campaign slogan is ?working hard, helping others?, and that is exactly what Leitch did at the Conservative Leadership Breakfast on Saturday morning.

TEAM CORNWALL AGM - In what has become a Cornwall tradition, Team Cornwall will host the popular Year in Review meeting on Thursday December 15th.The meeting annually attracts well over 300 community leaders who are eager to hear a recap of the year's economic activity, compiled by the City's Economic Development Department. The meeting will be held at Galaxy Cinemas on Second Street.

Doors will open at 7:00 a.m. and the meeting will begin

at 7:30 a.m. sharp.

The Year in Review report summarizes major development activity that has occurred in Cornwall over the past 12 months. ?2016 has been a busy year of notable developments in both the private and public sector,? said Bob Peters, Senior Development Officer with Cornwall Economic Development. "Our goal is to showcase the overall positive impact that results from individual decisions to invest.?

COLTS CHOP LUMBER KINGS AT HOME - The Cornwall Colts built a 3-0 lead and staved off a third period charge from Pembroke and beat the Lumber Kings 4-3 at the Ed Lumley Arena. Tristan Conrad?s second goal of the season with 1:49 left to play in the 3rd period was the game winner.

Christopher Mammas (5), Brennan Markell (4) and Sebastian Dirven (4) also scored for the Colts who improve to 15-9-0-3 for 33 points and 6th overall in the CCHL standings.

Tanner Spink chipped in with 2 assists. The Cornwall Colts outshot the Lumber Kings 41-26 with Liam Lascelle picking up the victory in goal. The Cornwall Colts only trail first place Carleton Place by 5 points heading into weekend.

NATIONALS DEFEAT WOLVES AT HOME - A hectic weekend for the Nationals was also a productive one, as Cornwall picked up two victories in three games. The Nationals defeated the Watertown Wolves 8-4 on last Sunday afternoon at the Civic Complex in front of 620 fans. Maxime Guyon, playing in his first game for Cornwall, led the way offensively with three goals and an assist. It?s a lighter schedule for the Nationals next weekend with a pair of road contests. Cornwall travels to Danbury to take on the Titans on Friday, Nov. 25th (7:15 p.m.) and the next night, the Nationals are in Berlin to face the River Drivers (7 p.m.). Cornwall has a pair of home games the following weekend. The Nationals host Berlin on Saturday, Dec. 3rd and Port Huron on Sunday, Dec. 4th.->

M ERRIAM As we prepare for the Holiday Season at Marrow and Spice, we are preparing traditional holiday foods and baked goods, but also talking to customers with special dietary needs about options available to that meet their personal requirements.

Lately many busy customers are electing to have Marrow and Spice prepare specialty meals for them so that they can enjoy delicious foods while sticking to their dietary restrictions. Whether this involves avoiding Gluten, Lactose, Salt, Carbs, or Sugar, Chef Roger enjoys the challenge of creating delicious food from scratch for you. There is always a selection of prepared and frozen entrees in the freezer for those nights when you forget to take something out of the freezer, or just don't have time to cook.

Chocolate Reindeer. Jenna from Zengarry Cheese had a great day offering samples of Zengarry's amazing cashew nut ?cheeses? in six flavours. Helen from Bee Real alternative health products was happy to show customers her new line of beeswax-based cosmetics. Jada was busy in the kitchen producing mouth-watering food from her native Thailand. People were so excited about Jada's Thai food that Marrow and Spice has decided to feature her weekly, so watch the Facebook page (ht t ps:/ / www.f acebook.com/ Marrowandspice) to know which day is Thai food day at the store!

Jada, Chef Roger and Andrea

At the same time, Andrea has been impressing all with her Christmas baking, both regular and Gluten-Free.

She recently created a couple of loaves of Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free, Lactose-Free bread, and it was delicious!

Meanwhile, Mike has been trying to stay out of the way of these two local food specialists, while still stocking he shelves with dry-rubs, pickles, kombucha, and lacto-fermented vegetables.

Folks who visited Marrow and Spice on Saturday were treated to some of the producers offering their wares in-person. Customers could visit, sample new products and ask questions. Sue-Anne Atkins of Fairy Sweet Chocolates was buried in Christmas goodies, from double-coated chocolate raisins and Espresso beans to ?Lumps of Coal?, and

"Bringing thehighest quality local produceto your family's table."

As the calendar continues to take us towards the excitement of Christmas, the staff at Marrow and Spice is looking forward to producing more food and helping our customers select interesting Christmas gifts and kits to help you prepare your own wonders at home!

We offer Zoe Gourmet Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegars, The Mix Company Gluten-Free mixes, stocking stuffers of maple syrup or honey, maple or honey candies, Fairy Sweet Chocolates, Diversitea gourmet teas, and much more!! and don't forget to call us for your Christmas catering needs!

Christ mas Shopping List , Part 2

BURKE

Wel l , it is BLACK FRIDAY - t ime t o get shopping Christmas is often a time when computers are purchased. Don't forget to buy a good computer security program.

Free coverage provided by AVG, Avast and others is better than nothing, but spending the extra can help save a lot more if your computer becomes compromised. While you may be able to find an antivirus for under $50, many of the full protection suites cost up to $100, but typically have multiple device or home licenses.

Some suites to consider are from AVG, Avast, Bitdefender, Kaspersky and Zone Alarm. Something that is often overlooked is the mouse.

In the under $100 price range, there is a wide assortment of computer mousing devices. I work on a computer constantly, so I need a mouse that conforms to my hand and glides easily. I need something that is precise and works well on various surfaces.

Corded or cordless, find the device that best suits the person using the computer. My wife's computer has two mouses, one for her and one for our daughter. Don't forget a good quality mouse pad; it can help to reduce friction and also improve recognition and tracking.

Microsoft, Logitech and Razer all produce a variety of mouses and similar devices. If you are a touch typist, or a hard-core computer gamer, $200 spent on a mechanical keyboard can be considered money well spent. Mechanical keyboards are considerably more expensive than typical membrane units, but can last a much longer time (I have had mechanical keyboards last for 10 years) and usually provide superior typing performance. The human to computer interface is very important; if you are not comfortable you won't be

as productive, or have as much enjoyment from your computer.

Thermaltake, Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries and Das Keyboard are companies known for their high quality mechanical keyboards.

Prices typically range from $100 to a tad over $200.

I wouldn't call gifts in the $100 to $200 range stocking stuffers, but they are not exactly big ticket items either. There are a number of helicopter / quadcopter drones in this price range. Many of them work in conjunction with your smart phone to provide a first person perspective viewing experience. Be careful with these drones, as there may be rules on their operation. Something I have always enjoyed are a good set of headphones. Bose, Sony and Sennheiser all make some really good sounding headphones. For those without a lot of room for large speakers, high quality headphones can provide a cost effective way to get truly awesome sound reproduction. When testing headphones in a store, always use your own music if at all possible. I recently purchased a great sounding set of headphones based upon the store's demo music; when I got home they didn't sound nearly as good. The store equipment was likely equalized with high and low end boost, which would not provide a true demonstration of the headphone's capabilities. Again, try to test headphones with your own source material. Wide screen monitors between 20 and 24 inches are also in the $100 to $200 price range. Asus, LG and Samsung have some good models and, for the budget conscious, you may be able to find an AOC and BenQ monitor with impressive imaging. Check out the various models and research them on-line just to be sure you find the best monitor for your needs. Blu-ray players often can serve as servers for Internet content such as YouTube and Netflix. Some people simply use a Blu-ray player and a computer monitor instead of a television. Oh, and Blu-ray players are also in the $100 to $200 price range.

Sha ry n

THO M PSO N Would you like to try a really tasty and easy to do crispy chicken recipe? This weeks recipe is for you. Cornflake cereal crumbs and spices coat the chicken and give it a wonderful crunch. Leftovers will make a great chicken caesar salad for next days supper. I always try to have planned leftovers from just cooking one meal. Just switch it up a bit. I used my brand new Paderno frying pan. It is amazing! Cook on top of your stove and in the oven and perfectly non-stick. It's wonderful!

Then I decided to try and make some homemade eggnog. I used my Kitchen Aid Mixer to get a real frothy eggnog. You will get 2 quarts of eggnog from 1/ 3 (a single bag)of a 4 litre bag of milk. It keeps refrigerated just fine. Starting next week, I will have Christmas recipes for you. Rita, the cookie recipes will be especially for you as promised!

It will be just one month to Christmas from this Sunday. No stress, right?

Reminder - Overnight wint er parking rest rict ions FROM NOVEMBER 15TH TO DECEMBER 14TH Parking on any roadway between the hours of 1 am - 7 am is prohibited ONLY on days when a snowfall of 5 centimetres or more is forecasted

by Environment Canada.

Like many other communities, the City of Cornwall has parking restrictions in place during the winter season.

These restrictions are necessary in order to ensure snow clearing activities can be completed in a safe and effective manner.

In recent years, the City has modified the winter parking restrictions in order to provide more flexibility to motorists whenever weather conditions permit.

The restrictions work as follows:

During the early restriction period, residents are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather forecast and local media reports. When a parking restriction is in effect, it will also be posted on the City website (www.cornwall.ca)and social media pages.

Residents can also use the Pingstreet app to receive immediate updates on restrictions Residents can also call (613) 932-5354 to confirm whether parking restrictions are in place.

FROM DECEMBER 15TH TO MARCH 31ST Parking on any roadway between the hours of

1 am - 7 am is prohibited regardless of weather forecast.

FROM MARCH 1ST TO MARCH 31ST During this period, the Infrastructure & Municipal Works Department may make an exception to the overnight winter parking restrictions based on the status of existing snow accumulation and the weather forecast.

Should the overnight parking restrictions be lifted during this period, a notice will be published on the City's website as well as social media and Pingstreet.

Please Note: Any posted parking restriction shall be observed in addition to the above overnight restrictions.

VIOLATIONS The fine for violating the winter parking restriction is $25.

The group meets weekly at the Trinity Anglican Church and has a regular attendance of a dozen or more. The cost for each participant is $40 for 12 weeks, to pay for the rental of the space.

Eric explained to the two how colored patterns or images are made in a glass cane which are then used by cross cutting the rod into pieces.

Interview with Frenzal Rhomb Article by Jason Setnyk - Submitted Photo

Both bands can som etim es get political.

Sydney Austr alia ? Legendar y Austr alian punk r ock band Fr enzal Rhom b ar e celebr ating 25 year s of m usic w ith a gr eatest hits album titled ?We Lived Like Kings? that w as r ecently r eleased on Fat Wr eck Chor ds.

In 2004 Fat M ike of Nofx or ganized Rock Against Bush in the United States and Fr enzal Rhom b?s M cDougall or ganised Rock Against How ar d in Austr alia. The sam e year Fr enzal Rhom b w er e on a Fat Wr eck Chor ds com pilation in suppor t of PETA.

The band, w hich consists of Lindsay M cDougall (guitar ), Jason W halley (vocals), Tom Cr ease (bass), and Gor dy For m an (dr um s), r eleased a new album of old songs. It?s going to be a nostalgic tr ip of 1990s punk r ock, m osh pits, gr een dyed m ohaw ks, w allet chains, band shir ts, tor n ar my pants, and com bat boots.

W ith the r ecent election of Donald Tr um p and w ith Br exit w ill punk get m or e political again?

?Our best-of album ?We Lived Like Kings? We Did Anything We Wanted? of cour se, pr obably because m ost of our album s have a bunch of seafood extender -like filler tr acks, and the best-of cuts out all that fat and just gets str aight to the hits. All the hits. Nothing but the hits,? Lindsay M cDougall confided.

?Punk is still political, alw ays kind of is, it?s just the bits that float to the top ar e the lightest, that?s just science. If you dig dow n you can find heaps of angr y people w r iting gr eat songs about shit things. And not just in the punk r ock w or ld either. Hip Hop has never been m or e political, ther e ar e m etal bands singing about a lot m or e than w ar locks and sw or ds, and so m any younger bands and electr onic ar tists ar e kind of political because the DIY w ay they r ecor d and r elease m eans they don?t need big com panies and r uin it w ith their gr ubby finger s. Except for Fat M ike?s finger s. We love those finger s,? Lindsay M cDougall r em ar ked.

The nam e Fr enzal Rhom b is Austr alian for not being sm ar t enough to know w hen to quit. After 25 year s, and num er ous injur ies and health scar es later , the band nam e is m or e pr ofound and m eaningful.

In addition to a gr eatest hits album , Fr enzel Rhom b also r ecor ded a br and new album at the sam e studio as Face to Face?s new album at The Blasting Room .

?To ever yone, even our ow n physical bodies?disdain, I?m afr aid so. Even as our or gans ar e shutting dow n. Our singer Jason has tr avelled quite a lot ar ound the w or ld, w hich is w hy he has tim e to pick up things like botfly lar vae under the skin on his head, and an actual pig-bor ne tapew or m living in his br ain. Or our lim bs spontaneously br eaking in desper ate attem pt to escape the em bar r assm ent, our stubbor n br ains, like bir ds sm ashing their heads against a closed w indow , still r efuse to get a hair cut and get a r eal job,? Lindsay M cDougall m entioned.

?We just finished it (the new album ). We r ecor ded it the sam e place w e r ecor ded our last one, and w her e so m any gr eat r ecor ds w er e done, The Blasting Room , w ith Bill Stevenson fr om the Descendents, and his par tner Jason Liver m or e (and a cast of sever al m or e key player s). It w as a lot of fun and w e think w e r ecor ded som ething r eally nice. We r ecor ded 23 songs, and w e?ll put 19 or 20 on the album , but don?t w or r y it?ll still only go for about 35 m inutes, and that?s only coz ther e?s a couple of epic 3 m inute songs to blow out the aver age. It should be out in Apr il, on Fat Wr eck, even though M ike hasn?t hear d it yet. I pr om ise it?s pr etty, pr etty, pr etty good,? Lindsay M cDougall concluded.

The band has r eleased eight studio album , but Lindsay M cDougall?s favour ite is the r ecent gr eatest hits album .

In addition to tour ing ar ound the w or ld, Fr enzal Rhom b has also suppor ted Austr alian tour s by The Offspr ing, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Blink-182.

Cornwal l ?s Hist oric Pump House Cornwall water filtration plant?s original pump house, which provided water for drinking and fire fighting purposes, was built on the south bank of the Canal opposite to the paper mill and Lock 18 and officially in operation on May 18, 1886. It was constructed by Moffett, Hodgkin & Clarke of Watertown, NY. Photo: In the first photo we see, from left to right, a Howard Smith pulpwood unloading conveyor, Lock 18 and the former pumping station for Cornwall?s water supply.

The original small brick pump house at the west end was enlarged and new pumps and other equipment added. The building at the east, constructed ca. 1918, had once served as housing for the engineer in charge and later was used to house additional pumps. Hot air heating eventually replaced the need for several stoves to heat the complex.

Steam pumps were utilized early on and two of them later retained for emergency use.

Photo: The second photo was the 1959 view from the area of the paper mill's # 11 boiler looking south across the canal. The paper mill?s # 11 Boiler House was constructed as part of 45 week 1959 upgrade and expansion which saw upgrades to the Kraft Mill, # 10 Boiler House, the Vanillin plant, creation of the North Wood Room, expansion to the Finishing Room, the addition of Paper Machine # 6 and the ensuing demise of Smithville.

Water-powered pumps had become the new standard and were so for many years in conjunction with steam powered pumps. The massive waterwheel inside the plant was powered by the drop in water from the canal to the river. In 1918 two massive centrifugal pumps were installed in an additional building, removing the need to maintain a reservoir. A less-efficient electric pump was put into action in the spring and fall when ice would interfere with the waterwheel and at anytime the water was out of the canal.

At one time water passed through an intake pipe to a well sunk into the canal bank. The pumps drew the water from the well, added chlorine and sent the mix into the water mains. In 1934, the operation was amply serving 18,000 residents as well as businesses of Cornwall and the Township with up to 8,000,000 gallons of water per 24 hour period.
