HAVE YOUR SAY Last week, we published an invitation to participate in an online survey from the City about the possible creation of a future Art Center. Where is that Art Centre? What does it look like? What does it offer? Who uses it? These are all questions that this feasibility study aims at answering.

Before I proceed, I will disclose that I do sit on the City's Culture Plan Committee and on the Board of Directors of Focus Art Association. I am a signer, a patron of the Arts and am very involved as an activist of culture as I find this area to flourish with great talent, some of which I am fortunate enough to call friends.

Advertising with the Seeker is not an expense... It's an investment!

Make sure to budget your ads today to help make 2016 your best year yet!

The Seeker is seen by and estimated 10,000 pairs of eyes weekly. Our readers are very loyal. Our main demographic consists of women, 34-50 years old, who make the buying decisions in the family.

But when I took the survey, I took it as a Cornwall Tax Payer.

Did I think it was perfect? No. It?s not. It is flawed. I may be asking the wrong questions, to the wrong people and seems a tad bias, but here?s the thing: It is a first step, the beginning of a dialogue, the only way citizens will have their say as to where Artists end up. Regardless of the questions being asked, even if we feel it?s a waste of time, whether we are artists, art lovers or do not care at all for the topic, WE NEED TO PARTICIPATE.

Artists living here have been said to not be able to work together. However, there is a wind of change in the air. Over the past few weeks, I have seen first-hand that various groups can stand together, for one common purpose, for THE one common goal. It is possible for them to SEEKER TEAM speak with one voice. Singers, painters, Your one st op shopf or... sculptors, glass blowers, guitar players, comedians, actors and all other individuals that Advert ising are encompassed in the word ARTIST, can and GraphicDesign will stand TOGETHER. The area is in a decisive WebDesign stage right now. As tax payers, let?s help the Print ing- Phot ography City figure out what direction it should take for VideoRecording the benefit of all citizens.

And artists, I know it?s hard, need to play politics. They need to lobby, to be vocal, to spread the word. They need to personally invite others to be vocal. They need to show their passion for Art Only then will they help the city help the Art Community succeed in being the best free thinkers they can be.

NEWS & POLITICS John St ewart Est at e Memorial Trust announces grant s - The

Advisory Board of John Stewart Estate Memorial Trust is pleased to announce grants totaling $8,495.70 were recently made, for the year 2016, to agencies servicing the needs of the aged and poor in the City of Cornwall and the United Counties. There were 14 grants ranging in size from $250.00 to $1,100.00. The recipients in The Cit y of Cornwal l were: Centre Agape Center, Seaway Senior Citizens Club, and Cornwall Senior Citizens Club. The money for such annual grants is investment income derived from the sale in 1991 of the John Stewart Home, once located at 613 Second Street East in Cornwall. The Home was opened in 1930 as a modest facility to provide housing for poor and indigent persons. To date over $218,670.00 in income has been distributed to appropriate agencies. Representatives from the United Counties and the City of Cornwall constitute the Advisory Board, with the Minister of St. John?s Presbyterian Church in Cornwall, sitting as a permanent member, to acknowledge the religious heritage of the original donor, Mr. John Stewart. This year is the 111th anniversary of his death. The Estate continues to be administered by Scotia Wealth.

MPP Jim McDonel l present ed Minist er of Finance Charl es Sousa wit h a summary of recommendat ions gathered during local Pre-Budget Consultations held in Cornwall and Morrisburg on February 9th and with all our municipal councils.The local community came together to voice their concerns and requests from the upcoming provincial Budget,? MPP McDonell stated. ?This valuable feedback could contribute significantly to building a 2016 Budget that would begin bringing Ontario out of the financial hole dug by the Liberals over the past decade. The Liberal government, however, appears to have written the Budget documentation even before the official round of Pre-Budget Consultations was completed by Finance Committee.?The Finance Minister announced yesterday that the budget will be delivered on February 25th. ?The Budget, its estimates and the accompanying legislation must clear numerous bureaucratic and drafting steps before being even remotely ready for presentation to the Legislature,? MPP McDonell commented. ?Such an early introduction means the drafting and refining process entered an advanced stage before Finance Committee or local communities could collect feedback and recommendations. The whole process now appears just to have been a public relations exercise and as the schedule now proves, just a waste of everyone?s time and money.? MPP McDonell insists he will continue to advocate for local concerns to be heard in the Legislature. ?I have brought our recommendations to our Finance critic and I will bring this feedback to the table, during both the debate on the Budget and in amendments to the Budget Bill,? he concluded.

ARTS & CULTURE Great Turnout For Famil y Day At The Summerst own Trail s In Spit e Of The Col d The morning temperatures ? it was -17 at 10 am ? were not conducive to drawing people outside, and the Family Day activities at the Summerstown Forest trails started out slowly.

But the sun was out and by noon, things had picked up and in the end, more than 200 participants ? including 50+ families ? came out to enjoy winter activities. Most people came out between noon and 2 pm when the weather was nicest and things got pretty hectic. ?We?re pretty much being run off our feet,? said a smiling Liam Carson, who was in charge of distributing the XC ski and snowshoe equipment. But thanks to the more than 25 volunteer members of the Friends of the Summerstown Trails (FOTST) who came out to help, things moved along smoothly, including the distribution of the nearly 20 dz of hot dogs, and countless cups of hot chocolate and marshmallows. This was the 5th annual Family Day at Summerstown Trails event hosted by FOTST and for many families, it is a great opportunity to experience XC skiing or snowshoeing for the first time at no cost as all the equipment is available free of charge throughout the day. The event was generously supported by SPORTS & RECREATION Cardinal & Son, Wholesale Meats. The trails are situated on Summerstown Road, 1.6 km north of exit 804 of the 401, and are openseven days a week. There is no charge to access the trails and donations are accepted to offset thecost of maintaining the trails.

Rental of equipment on weekends only. More information at www.summerstowntrails.com The But t erf l y Chil d was wel comed int o t he Col t s f amil y with an autographed team jersey, along with personalized autographed memorabilia from former Ottawa Senator Jesse Winchester. The Senators are Jonathan?s favourite team. A cheque for $5,000 was presented to Jonathan and DEBRA Canada with the money raisedcoming from the sale of special DEBRA bracelets.

5 Quest ions wit h Cornwal l Nat ive Denis Sabourin

Art icl e by Jul ia Lucio - Submit t ed Phot os Denis Sabourin has definitely been busy since he graduated from Cornwall's "La Citadelle" back in the nineties. For 13 years, he's been running Xactly Design, a successful graphic design studio and advertising agency that has been providing the nation?s capital with branding, design, web, social media and marketing expertise. He also has been part owner of the Ottawa franchise of the National Basketball League of Canada . His latest hobby? Coffee Beans!, Wine and Brews! Here are 5 questions about it.

How did you come up wit h t he idea of st art ing t his new concept ?

After running my ad agency Xactly Design & Advertising in Ottawa for over 10 years, I decided to go live in Manhattan for 6 months two years ago. It?s in East Village that I found my love for coffee, and admired the concept of using the great atmosphere of a coffee shop for more. And oh yeah, I met & became friends with a few celebrities while I was there too.

Where is t his f abul ous new pl ace?

Located on 111 York Street, in the heart of the Byward Market, Origin Trade has raised the bar for coffee aficionados seeking a unique atmosphere in the downtown core.

Origin Trade has differentiated themselves from other coffee shops by showcasing both Single Origin beans as well as craft beers and local wines.

This hybrid of coffeehouse by day, lounge by night is a new concept for Ottawa and is proving to be a hit. The seamless transition from bustling coffee shop to after work lounge with a focus on local wine and brews is innovative.

Whereas most coffeehouses close up shop as the sun goes down, Origin offers their patrons the opportunity to put down their latte and crack a beer without changing locales.

In addit ion t o cof f ee, brews and wine, what does t he menu consist of ?

The menu is light and focused on locally sourced snacks, featuring daily soups, sandwiches, charcuterie boards and of course an array of fresh baked goods to nibble on throughout the day.

What 's dif f erent about Origin?

This concept has been attempted by a few Ottawa establishments, but no one else has perfected the idea quite like Origin. The sleek design features inviting leather couches, hand crafted wooden tables and a minimalist concrete bar, which proves to be the ultimate vantage point to watch the skilled baristas create complex looking coffees.

Origin?s edgy vibe is unlike other well-known coffeehouses. The layout of the cozy space allows for a casual meeting place with friends, coworkers and clients, or a quiet date night tucked away. With the exposed brick walls and brass accents, the interior of the lounge feels more like a Brooklyn staple than an Ottawa hangout. The new establishment has been picking up traction with local business owners as well as patrons.

Popular Ottawa hangout, Atari & the famous Navara by Rene Rodrigues (winner of Canada?s Top Chef) picked up Origin Trade

as their sole coffee supplier after sampling their distinctive taste, and other restaurants are taking notice. Between the complex flavours of the locally roasted Single Origin beans and the friendly service, you` ll find yourself making excuses not to go home quite yet. Origin Trade is leading the trend for this new style of coffeehouse.

Is Cornwal l going t o see t o see one of t hese in t he near f ut ure?

Funny enough, we?ve already gotten calls to franchise! So you never know! There might be a location in Cornwall coming! I would love that! I do miss good ol?Cornwall! :)

Thank you Denis, and Best of Luck in your new venture!

af t er al l ... February is "HEART HEALTH" mont h!

Ka thle e n

Morris,

RM T

February is Heart Health Month. One preventative measure for heart health that is often overlooked is massage therapy. Many studies have been performed regarding the effect of massage therapy on the cardiovascular system. What has been found is that the cardiovascular system greatly responds to massage therapy, leading to a decrease in heart rate, improved vascular circulation, as well as a decrease in ischemia (reduction of blood flow to the tissues).

Cardiovascular disease is a group of diseases involving the blood or heart. This can include angina, hypertension, and heart attack.

While each disease comes with its? own risk factors and symptoms, they are all serious and need to be treated accordingly. For most people, this means major changes in diet and exercise, with regular check-ups with your doctor. Many people use this opportunity to find ways to reduce stress and anxiety.

The sympathetic nervous system, which controls the fight or flight response, will release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline when stimulated. Massage reduces the levels of these hormones, and increases endorphin levels (feel good hormones), which in turn slows down respiratory and heart rates.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) can be greatly reduced with massage.

The long, slow strokes used during massage relax the blood vessels, slowing down the rate at which blood flows through your body.

Hypertension has been associated with a higher risk of heart failure.

JENNI

M ACDO NALD Why Use a Mort gage Broker Inst ead of a Bank?

Credit to online blog of Geoff Lee DLC GLM Mortgage Group based in Vancouver, BC for this article 1. Saves You Time ? Mortgage Brokers have access to multiple lenders. They work with lenders you have heard of and some you probably haven?t. Mortgage Brokers already know most of the products that are out there to choose from so you don?t have to research them yourself.

2. Saves You Money ? Mortgage Brokers, if they are successful, have access to discounted rates. Because of a Broker?s high volume, lenders often offer discounted rates that are not available directly through the branch.

3. Reduces Your St ress ? A Mortgage Broker takes on the stress for you by making sure all the paperwork is in place and keeping good communication with you (often even late nights and weekends!) so that there are no surprises.

4. Gives You Access To New Lenders? Some lenders work exclusively with Mortgage Brokers.

5. Services Are Free and Your Opinion Mat t ers? Mortgage Brokers are paid by the

lender and not by you. If you, as a client, are happy, you will tell your friends about the service. Mortgage Brokers rely on referrals to succeed in their business so your opinion of their service will always matter.

6. Consider Al l Sit uat ions ? As Mortgage Brokers, we see every scenario out there. Damaged credit, low household income, low net worth might be a deterrent for the bank, but a Mortgage Broker knows lenders that consider all types of unique situations. A plan and strategy are usually suggested to make sure there is a mortgage option available in the future.

7. The Mort gage Brokerage Indust ry Is Monit ored By Governing Bodies ?Mortgage Brokers are mandated to ensure they have principles and values that are based on the best interest of the client. Mandated courses and documentation are required to obtain and maintain a license to sell mortgages.

8. Mort gage Brokers Have A Thorough Knowl edge About Mort gages ?

Interestingly, a Mortgage Broker has to be licensed and cannot discuss mortgages with you unless they are licensed. This is unlike the bank who can ?internally train? their staff to sell the specific products available from their bank. The staff at your bank do not have to be licensed Mortgage Brokers.

Sl ip Sl iding Away

by Syl vie O'Rourke As we approach Azure Mountain I realize that there will be little to see from the summit today because the mountain is invisible from the ground. It is cloudy and beginning to snow. The summit view is what I consider the reward after a strenuous climb but today I am not particularly perturbed because I have a second thing to look forward to.

The sign at the trailhead says ?1.0 mile.? What it doesn?t say is that this mile is straight up. It is a fairly mild day and the snow if falling gently. After we sign in, we snowshoe to the base of the mountain and start the climb to the summit. We huff, and we puff, and take frequent breaks in the guise of waiting for each other but in reality we just want to get our heart rates to slow down. I know from having climbed this mountain several times before that we will be on the summit within an hour, a relatively short distance compared to other hikes.

We are climbing this mountain as part of a Fire Tower Challenge launched by the Adirondack Mountain Club. To earn a badge, we must climb 18 mountains in the Adirondacks and 5 in the Catskills, all of them topped with historical fire towers. This is our fifth one as a group. When we finally reach the summit we are met with high cold winds. The climb up the fire tower is brutal and we only pause long enough to take a few pictures. As predicted there is minimal visibility but I am undaunted because the best part is yet to come.

Rather than climb down the way we have come, we take a route less travelled on the north side of the mountain. This is what I have been

looking forward to. This is not an official trail, but it is one used by skiers and other more adventurous people like us. Rusty Yogi knows the way and leads us down a path where the snow is fluffier and deeper. On the steep section we use our snowshoes as skis. Those of us who are wearing longer snowshoes can also sit back on them and slide down as if on a toboggan. It is difficult to stay upright because of the steepness and the inability of our snowshoes to grip the loose snow. None of us are spared.

At this point it is difficult to tell who will win the title for best wipeout but Camo Guy and Trail Napper are definitely in the lead for the most. I am so busy snapping pictures of their descents that I don?t notice until it is too late that Camo Guy is barrelling towards me like a bowling ball and I am suddenly struck down like a pin. I am laughing so hard that I have difficulty getting up. Trail Napper has a few more interesting falls but when Camo Guy does a spectacular face plant, it is clear that he has earned the title for the day.

Much too soon we reach the base of the mountain and I am wishing that I could do it all over again.

a "HEART HEALTH" heal t hy act ivit y f or sure!

remove the foil and allow the pastry to cool for 5 minutes. Change the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

I'm sure that a quiche was originally invented by a smart housewife who only had some milk, eggs and cheese and maybe some leftovers from the last nights supper. I found some ham in my freezer that I had ground up after baking a family sized ham a few months previous. This was my flavour enhancer for my quiche. I had some baby spinach and Gruyere cheese just begging to go into my quiche. I made 2 quiches using these ingredients. Here is what I did...

-While the crusts are baking, saute the chopped onion in the 2 tbsp. of butter and add in the baby spinach and ground ham.

Saute for a few minutes only.

-Grate the Gruyere cheese.

-Brush Dijon mustard over the base and sides of the pie crusts. This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy from the filling as they bake.

INGREDIENTS: 2 unbaked, deep 9" pie shells (we sell these at my store, Sharyn's Pantry)

-Whisk together the eggs, both creams and milk, thyme, ground nutmeg and salt and pepper.

a couple of tbsp. of Dijon mustard to paint (brush on) over the pie crust, once it is blind baked

-Place the ham, onion and part of the grated Gruyere cheese in the pie shells. Pour the egg mixture over this. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over top.

2 tbsp. butter 1 Spanish onion or 2 large yellow onions, diced 2 cups of baby spinach 1 to 1- 1/ 2 cups of ground ham (of course you can use canned flakes of ham) 3/ 4 to 1 cup of Gruyere cheese grated 5 or 6 extra large eggs 1 cup heavy cream 1 / 4 cup half and half cream 3/ 4 cup skim milk (or use 1 cup of homo milk instead of the half and half cream and skim milk) 1/ 2 to 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves rubbed 1/ 2 tsp. grated of ground nutmeg 1 tsp. Kosher salt 1/ 2 tsp. ground black or white pepper METHOD: -First, blind bake the pie crusts. Use tin foil NOT parchment paper to completely cover the pie crusts. Place dried beans or pie weights to cover the bottom of the pie crust to weigh them down. Partially bake the pie crusts in a 375 degree F. oven for 25 minutes. Then, carefully

-Bake the quiches in a 350 degree F. oven or 40 to 50 minutes on the 2nd from the bottom oven rack. Bake the quiche until a knife tip inserted in the centre comes our clean.

NOTE: When I did my quiches, I used parchment paper instead of tinfoil for the blind baking. The parchment did not cover the top edge of the pastry and it became darker than I would have liked.

Remember, I always say that God lets me do something wrong so I will tell you what to do right! Here is the perfect example. Use the foil!

What was really delicious though, was the ham I had ground up from my baked ham. This ham had some of the glaze ground up along with the ham so it had such a sweet, delicious flavour from the maple syrup and mustard. If you bake a ham, be sure to grind up some of the leftover ham and freeze for future use.

I made some Western omelettes with the remaining ground ham for our breakfast next day. Yummy! Along with our quiche, I made some garlic bread from leftover hamburger buns. ENJOY! SHARYNTHOMPSON, Owner of SHARYN'SPANTRY - a family-runbusinessfor 35 years.

DESNO YERS WHAT?S IT ALL ABOUT? There is much kerfuffle in the arts recently and sometimes we don?t know where to go or who to believe. One could choke on the bombardment of hearsay and false information in the air. But there is one fact not to disregard.

This is a survey presently on line, regarding a community centre for arts and culture. As artists and patrons of the arts, it is important to voice our opinion on such a centre. Though some remain sceptical, others bubble with enthusiasm regarding the reality of such a space. What is important, that is we must keep an open mind and participate.

Fitzpatrick coordinator for the city: ?This is the first round of public feedback collection and stakeholder meetings for the feasibility study for the center of arts and culture in Cornwall, and suggestions are of great importance?.

I began this article by stating that there is much commotion in the arts, none the less some activities will certainly lead to change. This is your chance to get the facts and voice your opinion. We may not have the centre by ?tomorrow? but your participation will help determine the nature it will take.

Bil ingual Survey on l ine : arts and culture feasibility study or at the Open House.

Open House : Cornwall Civic Complex - Salon B (100 Water Street, Cornwall), Wednesday, February 24, 2 to 4 and 6 to 8pm.

A little history. The process began in June 2011,when a study (Culture-scape) sponsored by the city of Cornwall and its regional partners, resulted in a recommendation for the development of art and culture in Cornwall and the United Counties: "...the need for a publicly identifiable place which is recognized by the entire community and which can act as a Centre for training, production and experience of cultural activities and products". The final plan recommended the creation of a regional arts council (YAC, Your Arts?

Council) and the development of a multi-functional Arts and Culture Centre.

OTHER ACTIVITIES TO WATCH FOR

Now in 2016, after much deliberation, the Feasibility Study has focused on the requirements of programs and activities, groups of potential users, the location, and other important factors that the team (Paul Sapounzi and VG Architects) must take into account in its design of a potential center.

Cent re cul t urel de Cornwal l , one of Focus Art?s partners, is planning their yearly tradition: La Cabane Ă sucre (Sugar Shack), March 19 and 20. More publicity in the Seeker will display a schedule of events.

Late 2015, the consultants visit more than a dozen possible sights and exchange with local representatives in the community. Now the public is invited to voice ideas. A survey on line is the most rapid and extensive way to get as many points of view as possible. This is followed by an Open House on February 24th when the public can exchange with the consultants.

The team is considering dynamic, interactive listening sessions that will provide them the valuable feedback. As Receipts!!! How important expressed by are they? Every year, I get Jamie many clients who say ?I don?t have the receipts but I can get them? (referring to medical appointments, child care, rent etc.).

Workshop: Saturday, February 20, 1 to 4pm., Focus Art collaborates with OBO Studio to give a workshop on Monet. A group of 15 artists will gather at OBO Studio where Emily Macleod and Tracy-Lynn Chisholm will coach in the ? Art of Painting as did Monet ?.

The Spring Show is planned for the Cornwall Square in April. Time to get new artwork started. The high volume of traffic will be great visibility for your art.

Next Members?meet ing: March 2 at Le Centre Charles-Émile Claude. A demonstration by Kathleen Morin on producing portraits using technology and personal talent. ?

Tax Tip 3

Receipts are very important because Revenue Canada can ask for any receipt they want to see for the last 7 years. They could ask for copies of your rent receipts as far back as 2008!

The property you resided at in 2008 has changed hands twice and you have no way of getting a hold of your old landlord or getting receipts. This means a Re-assessment and repayment of Ontario Trillium Benefits with interest and possible penalties. Do not delay in getting your receipts as soon as possible and keeping them on file for 7 years. You never know when the tax man will want to see them!

A couple of weeks ago, I experienced this tremendous urge to write about heirloom organic potatoes and it appeared in The Seeker, entitled: "Organical l y Grown Pot at oes Can Save Humankind!" Then, I discovered that a special speaker at the COG Conference will actually speak on the importance of potatoes, "ORGANIC SEED POTATO PRODUCTS."

TRO TTIER/TRO TZIER "ORGANIC SEED POTATO PRODUCTS" FROM EARTH TO *OUTERSPACE*

On Saturday, February 20, 2016, the CANADIAN ORGANIC GROWERS (COG) OTTAWA-ST. LAWRENCE-OUTAOUAIS CHAPTER will hold their ECO-FARM DAY 2016: FROM SOIL TO TABLE at the Ramada Inn, 805 Brookdale Ave., Cornwall, ON. The Conference is offered in partnership with ECOLOGICAL FARMERS ASSOCIATION OF ONTARIO (EFAO). There will be several Trade Show Exhibitors.

Yes, I had suddenly made the realization, then, that organically grown heirloom potatoes can save humankind in many ways. Heirloom organic potatoesare growing in most countries around the world, with different nations preparing the potatoes in innumerable tasty and veryhealthy recipes.

The Conference is from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you are interested in attending, please call: Gary Weinhold at 613. 487-2257.

Now... hope many of you are going to think like me... When our Ancestral Dwellers from the Planet Venus make their friendly presence once again on our Planet Earth- since they had been the major advanced civilization on the Continent of Atlantis - we can receive them

One of main conference session topics includes "ORGANIC SEED POTATO PRODUCTS." FASCINATING! There is a universal law that

In addition, I just read that in OCTOBER 1995 t he HEIRLOOM ORGANIC POTATO BECAME THE FIRST VEGETABLE GROWN IN OUTERSPACE WHILE ABOARD THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA!

with banquets of food prepared primarily from the peaceful Ambassadorial Plant: The many-eyed potatoes which has become in a way the source of our ability to move on into space and meet our Galactic Friends such as those from the Planet Venus.

The Friendly Potato from South America is absolutely remarkable. After the 1500's, the potato began to supply its important food-nutrients to the people in Ireland, Scotland,Germany via Frederick the Great, France via Antoine Parmentier;and on and on the nutritional potato introduced itself to nearly every nation on this Our Home Planet Earth; and after the 1995 experiment, we can count on the potato to help us move onward into outerspace ... with food in our stomach!

May I suggest that we keep our eyes opened like the potatoes and watch the skies! When the time arrives to meet our visitors from Venus who are intelligent, compassionate, polite and from whom derives the Ancient Pyramid Civilization, we will happily acknowledge this interstellar happening with peace in our heart, and with the most polite demeanour. I would like to add: Let's leave it to the Many-Eyed Potatoes to perform Miracles as every nation offers our Visitors their most appetizingpotato dishes!
