Happy new year! Welcome to the first Seeker edition of 2014.

Isn't it fun to start a new year? Personally, I always find it to be a good time for me to spice things up, perhaps even take a resolution or two.

In business, it's a time to reflect on the past year, analyzed what worked and what didn't and plan for the future. It's like getting a clean slate.

In the spirit of starting fresh, you will notice that our logo has undergone a makeover replacing Mai-Liis' face and my own with a picture of our famous clock tower (thank you John Lucio for taking the picture). Our website has also gotten a facelift.

Actually, it is more like a Botox injection than a facelift. It's freshened up, rejuvenated without having changed so much that you won't recognize it. Let us know what you think!

We have big plans for 2014. We already have started to work on our awards ceremony, which will take place on a Saturday for the first time. We also are talking with new columnists, signed up a new amateur meteorologist and are introducing a new coupon page. Fun, fun, fun!

But this year is especially exciting: it's municipal election year. We are barely getting into the second week of the year and the political buzz is going around full spin. Already 2 people have formally announced that they are running for city council (see articles within) and we have heard that the next few weeks will see many more names put forth. We will be highly involved in the campaign and will bring you the news as we see it.

Thank you for your continuing readership! All the best to you and yours in 2014!

Presented by Jason Setnyk News & Politics UNITED WAY REACHES 100% OF GOAL - “As always our community came through very generously. I am always overwhelmed to see the

I truly love our city.”, said Campaign Chair Nolan Quinn, “We would like to thank Cornwall Electric for their ongoing support to United Way. Through payroll deductions and a corporate match donation, they were able to raise a grand total of $16,971.00. What a outstanding achievement. Way to go Cornwall Electric!”

As in previous years, there are plans to establish an outdoor rink in Lamoureux Park. This will be accomplished as time and resources permit. “The support we receive from volunteers is critical to the success of our outdoor rinks,” said Jim Althouse, Parks & Landscaping Supervisor. “We are always looking for residents who are willing to contribute some time to help keep the rinks going.” Anyone interested in volunteering to assist with the outdoor rinks can contact Lorne Taillon, Leisure Arts Coordinator, at (613) 938-9898 ext. 2.

Arts & Culture LOTS OF MUSIC CONCERTS - There were plenty of concerts for music fans this holiday season, including Spirit of a Season at Vu and Barstock at Lola’s Pub and Grub. Here are snapshots and reviews of the Freeway and Elly May concerts that took place at La Maison Tavern over the holiday.

CITY GETS RED CROSS PRIZE FOR WATER SAFETY -The City of Cornwall’s Parks and Recreation Department was recently recognized by the Red Cross for its efforts in promoting water safety. Through annual campaigns, Red Cross promotes attitudes and practices to encourage the safe enjoyment of water activities throughout the summer months. As a Red Cross training partner, the City’s aquatic staff participated in the Red Cross Water Safety Public Education Contest to promote water safety at City facilities and throughout the community. The City hosted a number of events including Drowning Prevention Day activities, a Seniors Trade Show and Theme Days at the outdoor pools. Roughly 600 residents participated in the various events throughout the summer and they received information on water safety, boating and open water safety, lifejackets & personal floatation devices (PFDs), backyard pool safety, diving and safe entries.

OUTDOOR CITY RINKS - Game on! A number of outdoor rinks are now up and running, with more expected to be ready in the near future. As of last Thursday morning, outdoor rinks in Dover Heights, Gallinger, Grant, Menard, Optimist and Reg Campbell parks were ready to accept skaters.

Additional rinks in Alexander, Broadview and King George parks are expected to be ready to host some shinny games soon. The outdoor rinks at Optimist and King George parks feature outdoor

On Saturday December 28th Elly May rocked the stage at La Maison again. They had their CD release in Cornwall back in September.

Opening for them last night were Ottawa rock band Garden of Weeds, and local musician Keegan Larose. Garden of Weeds are an up and coming Canadian rock band who put on an energetic show, and remind me just a bit of the band Sloan. Keegan Larose is maturing as a singer and showman, and he put on a good show last night. He now sings with confidence, and he has a lot more movement on stage. This is a big step for the young talented guitar player, showing he is ready to take centre stage as a singer-songwriter or as lead singer of a band.

Freeway played La Maison on Friday December 27th celebrating their 15th Anniversary. The Cornwall punk band played a mix of original songs and covers. The crowd in attendance sang along to many songs and it was a fun night. Daniel Martin, lead singer of Freeway, took to the stage between sets to play an acoustic cover of The Decline, an 18 minute song by Nofx, that he sang in just over 15mins. Just seeing an acoustic cover of that song was worth the price of admission.

14 Way to Make 2014 Your Best Year Yet 1.

Stop procrastinating. Life isn’t going to slow down for you and sorry, but you’re not getting any younger. If there’s something you want to do, stop putting it on the back burner.

Step up and get it done. You’ll thank yourself later on.

2.

Be more positive. Sure, you can say you’re a positive person all you want but unless you THINK and ACT positive, your words mean won’t mean much. If you’re already talking positive, it’s a great start but now start believing what you say. Start living it and you’ll notice the things around you will start looking up.

3.

4.

Get healthy. You’ve been saying you want to get in shape for months now but you keep procrastinating (see #1). Cut out the junk food and start taking the stairs. Being healthy now means being healthier later on.

Continued from page 3.

Sports & Lifestyle MELOCHE AND DESORMEAUX JOIN RIVER KINGS Eric Meloche is back with the River Kings. The River Kings will welcome back a familiar face to their lineup this weekend. Eric Meloche has come to terms with Cornwall and is expected to play on Saturday night when the Sorel-Tracy Eperviers pay a visit to the Civic Complex.

Last season with the River Kings, Meloche had 11 goals and 18 assists for 29 points in 31 games. The 5-foot-10, 200 lb. power forward also chipped in 62 penalty minutes. The 37-year-old veteran will be a welcome addition in the locker room.

Eric has agreed to come help us out and it’s nice to have his leadership presence,” said head coach Steve Simoes. “He’s a competitor.” The River Kings have also added another big, tough defenceman, and it’s a name local hockey fans are quite familiar with. Simon Desormeaux, the former Cornwall Comets and Akwesasne Warriors defenceman, has come to terms with the Cornwall River Kings. The 38-year-old last played in 2011-12 for the Warriors in the Federal Hockey League. In 18 games, he had 9 assists and 75 penalty minutes.

My name is Jason Setnyk, and these are the Seeker Snippets.

5.

Loosen up. Life has a way of bringing people down and stress can sometimes get the best of you. Don’t let it. Start going with the flow a little more and stop being wound so tightly. Have fun and enjoy life, you only get one after all.

6.

Be nice. Sometimes it’s hard to be nice when you’re dealing with dumb people or assholes. Kill them with kindness, my dear. Be so nice that if anyone ever called you a bitch no one would believe them.

7.

Don’t settle. You are fabulous and you should never feel the need to settle. Be it in your relationships, your job, your friendships; if you aren’t getting all you need then wish them well and be on your way. Why waste another minute of this year on something with no return?

8.

Have fun. Put some time aside to just have a good time. Dance, sing, laugh with your friends, do something silly. Let go of your inhibitions and act like a kid again. When did you get so old and rigid, anyway?

9.

Speak up. If you have something to say to the world, or even just one person, let it out. The weight off your shoulders will be worth it.

10.

11. laugh.

Smile more. It’s the cheapest and easiest way to a prettier face.

SEEKER SNIPPETS

Do something you’ve never done before. Taking risks is sexy.

Laugh. All the time. Even if you’re by yourself…in the middle of a store. Just

12.

Be helpful. Being helpful makes you feel better and gives some meaning to your life. Hold the door open for that little old lady or widen your scope and volunteer at a shelter. Either way, you’ll make someone’s day better, which will in turn make you smile more (see #3).

13.

Put down your phone. There’s no reason to be texting while you’re out to dinner with friends or family. Focus on the people in front of you, they’re the ones who will be there when the power fails.

14.

Love. Find love in every aspect of your life and never hold back. Love fully and compassionately and tell those you love that you do. Love people, love things, love yourself, and love your life. Let this be the year that you allow love into your life and you will learn who you really are.

Here’s to 2014. The year you become better, the year you find your true self. May you get everything you wish for and work hard towards your goals. Love. Live. Smile. Be good.

Do good.

Letters & Opinions WHY MARK A MACDONALD COULD BE CORNWALL'S NEXT MAYOR - In the 2014 Municipal Election Mark A MacDonald could very well be elected Cornwall’s next Mayor.

That is if he chooses to run. Mark A MacDonald had 40% of the vote compared to Bob Kilger’s 57% of the vote in 2010, but a lot has changed since then. From 2006 to 2010 Cornwall’s City Council appeared to have a clean record, and many municipalities including Cornwall benefited from the stimulus phase of Canada’s Economic Action plan in 2008-2009, including over $9 million dollars from the Feds that went into building the beautiful Benson Centre. All 2006 incumbents who ran for re-election were elected again in 2010 with the exception of Mary Ann Hug (who finished twelfth). The 2010 Mayoral race was Bob Kilger’s to lose. Despite that, Mark A MacDonald ran with intensity and integrity, and he was building some momentum, however he lacked a clear message that resonated with the majority of voters. But that has changed. Fast forward a few years, and the whistle-blower boondoggle’s have become public knowledge, tax dollars have been wasted, and more and more citizens are displeased with the performance by this current Council. While City Council’s dirty laundry was being aired in public, Mark A MacDonald found his voice on several key issues, and he has become a grass roots leader in the community. Most notably with the closure of the Cornwall General Hospital, he was instrumental in organizing concerned citizens to try and save the hospital for future public benefit and use. Now Mark A MacDonald has been a strong voice in the movement to stop the building of tanks on the City’s water front. He has been writing a series of short and clear letters to the editor critical of Council on key issues that resonate well with voters. In 2010 Bob Kilger won the election by 17% of the vote. Mark A MacDonald would have needed about 9% of Kilger’s vote to have won that election. Now Mark A MacDonald is on the upswing, and incumbents including Kilger no longer have the advantage they did in 2010. A lot can change between now and October, but if Mark A MacDonald chooses to run in 2014, he could have an excellent chance of becoming the next Mayor of Cornwall Ontario.

The fierce storms, blistering cold and dangerous weather conditions prevented many people from being with loved ones this Christmas; and I was one of them. The inclement weather we are experiencing makes travel difficult and power outages abounded. It was nice to see that so many people affected by the power loss were spending their time talking and connecting. I think we all need to do this a little more; but with heat.

The ice storm prevented me from being home for Christmas this year, or even pre-Christmas weekend, but I was able to visit in between Christmas and New Year’s and enjoyed seeing most of my family. In order to go anywhere, I had to remove several inches of ice off my vehicle. After two and a half hours, countless trips for hot water to melt it down and a lost battle with the scraper, I finally was able to drive again.

My son traveled to my place for Christmas Eve. He almost didn’t make it as last minute train ticket was purchased, since my car was still encased in ice. We attended mass with friends and then a Christmas Eve dinner and gathering. When he announced he was coming, I dashed to make it a real Christmas with a full meal, all of his favourites and some connection time. The holidays are a time of nostalgia, reconnecting with family and friends and reminiscing about cherished time.

With the holidays over, it is always a great time to reflect on the previous year and take stock. I personally review my changes twice a year; in July my birth month and at the end of December. It’s astounding to realize how much changes in a year. I assess the changes in my life, the highlights, the low points, the goals reached, the opportunities taken and even the poor decisions. As the holidays wind down and a new year dawns, we see more healthy living, inspirational and motivational messages. Eat better, exercise more, remove drama and enjoy life more. It is a new chapter.

So what does this year hold? Time will tell…but I will continue to be grateful for the family and friends that I cherish. Stay warm!

HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE & ALL! May 2014 be YOUR YEAR!

"I believe creativity is the essence of being human. I believe I make myself, and Evening & Weekend I won't buy my soul off the rack." ~Anitra Freeman~, Artist.

appointments also!

"My mission is to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the www.mailiisthegraphicdesigner.ca world." ~Phil Knight~, Founder of Nike.

As I sat thinking about what to write for my New Year's column, being me, I felt that I should do something a little different. So here it is...

What is calling to you? What is the deepest, most true message that is calling to you? Get very still and hear it. Do everything it takes to really listen, hear it, absorb it. We each have something calling to us that ONLY WE CAN DO. You have the exact set of skills, you have lived through the exact circumstances, you have met the exact people and lived in the exact places at the exact time to be where you are, and to hear exactly what is calling to you at this very moment. So what is it?

Don't let your music go unsung. Don't let your stories go untold. Don't let your mission go undone. Don't let your love go ungiven. Don't hide your talents.

Don't ignore the messages that are showing you.

Find what is calling to you and go for it. We need you to do this! You have a purpose in your life that only you can fulfill. You are Phenomenal, Beautiful, Handsome and Radiant. Your talents are Unique, Compelling and Needed. Now is the time to do this, so what better way to start the New Year, than to choose your “Personal Mission Statement”. This will provide you with clarity, and gives you a sense of purpose. It defines who you are and how you will live.

Your mission should: *Define who You are

"My mission is to enstill hope and happiness in everyone I know and love." ~Marlene Baker~ CEO, Fashionography.

There is no specific format for writing your Personal Mission Statement. Only YOU will know how to write it, but try to keep it clear, brief and exciting. Just ask yourself, "What is My Calling, My Life's Aim? What Inspires me the most?

What Activity or Service is urging me to pursue?"

Until next week, I wish you all the Success and Happiness that a New Year can bring. May you All have a most exciting and life changing kind of year ahead.

Please Pay It Forward and Do someone a "kind gesture," today, like giving away a SMILE!!!

From a young age Carilyne Hébert knew she wanted to help people. Exactly how she’d make her dream come true came to her more recently: Politics! Carilyne Hébert is the first person to file her nomination papers to be a candidate in the 2014 Cornwall City Council election.

It’s no secret that Hébert is passionate about her city. She’s lived in Cornwall since she was a child. Originally from Alexandria, her family moved to Cornwall for their small business.

At the age of 15, Hébert’s passion for helping people took flight as she headed south to the Dominican Republic to participate in a “Humanitarian” aid mission with her high school, La Citadelle. She says that was a life changing experience for her, “This was such a reality check for all of us. I knew within the first 24 hours I wanted to dedicate my life to helping people. At first, I thought I wanted a career in international development. However, when I returned to Cornwall and started getting involved in social justice, I realized quickly that there are people in our own community who are in need.”

Hébert then threw herself into charity and volunteer work in Cornwall. She is a Big Sister with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, is active in various committees in the community and most recently became a board member with the Agape Centre. “At times it seems I put in more volunteer hours in a week than I do my actual job.”

Full time, Hébert is the Center Coordinator for Contact North/Contact Nord Cornwall. The provincially funded non-profit organization provides access to distance education to people in rural Ontario. “We are changing lives with education,” says Hébert. The network partners with Ontario’s 24 public colleges, 20 public universities, school boards, and literacy and training providers to help Ontarians participate in education and training opportunities without leaving their own community.

Hébert sees the importance of the work she does in her job every day. “Education is the key to prosperity” She also knows what the Cornwall community needs through her volunteer work within the city. Now, she wants to give more. “Serving in a soup kitchen and being on non-profit boards are all wonderful things and I encourage everyone to give back to our community. However, I know one sure way to make a real difference in people’s lives is becoming part of our municipal government. I am ready to dedicate my time to making this great community everything it has the potential of being.”

“I want to raise a family in Cornwall. I am happy to see the progress the city is making but the possibilities are endless. There is so much more we could be doing to create a better Cornwall – one we all want for our families today and for generations to come. I want to be part of that change”

The Seeker has learned that Mr. Todd Bennett will also be running for City Council.

For the last 9 years Mr.Bennett has been part of the management team at the local Farm Boy store here in Cornwall.

After running for City Council in the 2010 election he discovered his passion for the city of Cornwall. He has since become a member of 3 committees of council: he chairs the Culture Plan Committee, co-chairs the Economic Strategic Plan Implementation Committee, and is a member of the Waterfront Development Committee.

NEWS THIS WEEK from www.theseeker.ca

My Secret for a Healthier and Wealthier Life In 2014 For those of you who would like to reclaim their life and space, be healthier and wealthier, and have more free time to do what you love, I will share my secrets with you.

When people drop by unannounced at any time of day or evening, they always wonder how I can be so organized and keep my house so tidy and clean.

Believe me, it is very simple.

I can already hear a bunch of excuses coming from everywhere. However, like most of you, I: • • • •

have an eight-hour work day as the administrator for seven businesses; do volunteer work with three organizations have family obligations; and two dogs that need attention.

In spite of my busy lifestyle, I still find time to do what I love best: writing, doing needle work, and reading about other cultures, art, collections, science and history.

One of my secrets is that everything in my home has a specific place. Once an item is finished being used, it goes back right away to its place. This way, you will never again waste time looking for it, nothing is ever out of place, and everything always looks clean and tidy. When doing something, do it once, do it right.

When organizing a room for the first time, it could take you quite a bit of time. Engage the help of a professional organizer, and it could take a third of the time compared to doing it yourself.

Another of my secrets helps when planning activities I use only one book to write down everything I think of doing, so as not to forget anything I need to do, no matter when it needs to be done (no more little notes all over the place). When it is time to do a task, I put it an agenda.

The overall secret to being organized is to have a daily routine and to stick to your agenda as much as possible. As an example, here is my routine: I wake up, shower, get dressed, make the bed, put away clothes from the night before, put dirty clothes in the hamper, have breakfast, and then meet friends at Tim Hortons. Then I work four hours, take a 30 minute lunch break, and work another four hours. Then I check the mail, prepare supper, eat, wash and put away the supper dishes, and then sweep the kitchen floor.

In addition to this, every day:

• I take a half hour to clean one or two rooms in the house.

By the end of the week every room has been cleaned, including some closets and cupboards.

• When I wash dishes (big pots and pans that do not fit in the dishwasher), I take an extra 15 minutes to clean one drawer or cupboard in the kitchen. In just a few days the whole kitchen is clean.

• Before going to bed, I walk around the house ensuring everything is back where it should be, since I am not the only one living at home, ensuring everyone will find everything they need the next day.

• Once in bed, I look at my activity book to review all my entries. I choose what to put in my agenda for the next day and week.

It may sounds like a lot, but it’s not. You just need the will to make your life easier. When everything looks clean and in its proper place, you are less stressed, enjoy more free time, feel more energetic, and have more disposable income since you're no longer running around to re-buy the things you forgot you already had. If you follow my methods, you will know, all the time, where everything is.

MAKING MARTHA'S MUFFINS

MARTHA'S BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Please note that the muffin batter is very thick. I will add some grated lemon zest into the batter the next batch I bake. The recipe will make 11/2 dozen large muffins.

INGREDIENTS: 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened (this is 3/4 of a stick of butter) (I just have the solid pound package of butter, so I divided it into 4 equal pieces with my knife blade, then I took one of the quarters and used 3/4 of that to get the 6 tbsp. of butter.) I used regular salted butter.

3 cups plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. fine salt 1- 1/4 cups granulated sugar 1 large whole egg plus 2 egg yolks (I use extra large eggs always) 1 cup of milk (I warmed my milk in the microwave to bring it to room temperature) 2 cups of fresh blueberries sanding sugar and ground mace for topping the muffins (You could substitute the ground mace with ground nutmeg.) (we sell the sanding sugar at Sharyn's Pantry)

METHOD: -Preheat your oven to 375 degree F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners.

You will need 18 muffin liners. I sprayed all of the top of each muffin tin using Pam spray.

-Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

-With an electric mixer set on MEDIUM speed, cream the butter, which must be soft, and the granulated sugar until nice and fluffy. I mixed this for several minutes.

-Add the egg and the egg yolks with the vanilla and mix well until combined.

-Reduce the speed of the mixer to LOW. Now alternately add the sifted flour mixture with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour.

-Gently fold in the fresh blueberries by hand, NOT with the electric mixer.

-Using a scoop, fill each muffin liner right to the top.

-Mix together some sanding sugar and a little ground mace or ground nutmeg to sprinkle over top of each muffin. You can also use instead of this, the following crumble topping if you wish. Next batch, I will try the crumble topping.

-Bake the muffins until lightly golden of top, rotating the tins, halfway through the baking time. The muffins will take between 25 and 30 minutes to bake. Mine took 26 minutes.

-(I placed my oven racks, using the second from the bottom for even baking and browning.)

CRUMBLE TOPPING FOR THE MUFFINS

INGREDIENTS: 1 -1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup light brown sugar 3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup ( 1 stick of butter), melted and cooled

METHOD: -Whisk together the 1- 1/4 cups of flour with the brown sugar, salt and ground cinnamon in a bowl.

-Pour in the cooled melted butter and toss with a flexible spatula until large crumbs form.

-Sprinkle this mixture evenly over batter in each mold. Use this instead of the sanding sugar and ground mace.

ENJOY!!!

JULIA’S Cool Site of the Week

When I die Have you ever stopped and wondered about what happens to your Social Media profiles when you die?

Recengly, as I was browsing through facebook, I saw an obituary. It was one of a young man, probably in his twenties. The obits was linked to his facebook profile where people offered their condolences. It was eerie to think that this face I was looking at, this life I was “creeping” was not longer of this world.

Macabre? Maybe, but aren’t there things that you wish to settle before you die? Someone you want to say sorry to? Some secret you want revealed?

This is the way to go! Afterall, you do not want to become a facebook ghost.

Webinista, Socialista and Visual Dazzler, Julia is also an Entrepreneur who owns and operates the WebDesign and Marketing firm VersaCore Tech Designs, and co-owns the Seeker Newspaper in Cornwall Ontario. Wife of Political Writer John Lucio and mother of 5, Julia's main background is in Arts, Literature and programing. Julia is the president of the Cornwall Business Network and sits on the board of directors of Focus Art. She is a member of the Lions club, Team Cornwall and the Chamber of Commerce.

Julia can be reached at jmlucio@versacore.info

It got me thinking. “What happens to your social media life when you die?”.

I typed that into google and got an interesting response.

Much to my surprise, I found that there are quite a few companies that will handle removing all your social profiles for a nominal fee. http://legacylocker.com/ is one of them. Legacy Locker lets people create a "legacy letter" to be automatically emailed to all their contacts in the event of their death that can include passwords and instructions for their digital profiles. The email can also contain a video.

My search also led me to a facebook app, https://apps.facebook.com/if_i_die/, which lets you record a video which will be played privately or publicly on your profile after 3 of the “trustees” you name confirm your passing.

Dear Seeker Chicks - Letters to the Editor We residents of the City Cornwall have expressed our reasons to Stop this Storage Tank project Common Sense, Best Land Use, Community Input and Support, City's Waterfront Plan, What's best for the Environment, Encourages proper development of this Historical area, Le Village BIA support, Chamber of Commerce support, Public use Possibilities, Transparency, Best suited to create a partnership to get the job done, area residents desire for local improvements and they have safety concerns, Job creation and increase the tax base, What's best for our Tourists trade, What our community plans recognize is Location, Location, Location.

G H Chuck Charlebois, 613 360-2832

Mark A MacDonald says Chuck Charlebois must be included in talks Dear Seeker, Chuck Charlebois must be included in any further discussions regarding the construction of the chemical storage tanks. It’s a “no brainer”.

He is the leading voice behind the cause and he will remind them that there is only one solution, NO TANKS. A unanimous motion at a duly recognized public meeting made that message loud and clear.

FROG AND TOAD

NATURALLY DELICIOUS ... with the Health Nut

New Year and resolutions go hand in hand…. most of us swear to improve our diets, eating h e a l t h i e r, exercising etc….. Well I am here to help you start off your year on the right foot…

It’s nice to have a break from the extreme cold, but there’s more to come! We are also looking ahead to spring. What I often think about is how normal and natural the extreme cold is. It’s amazing to realise that in the natural world, small bodies can survive this cold. At this very minute, there is another world going on under the snow, comprising of a network of tunnel, and nests inhabited by small creatures. A few weeks ago, I actually caught a glimpse of a small very dark body, a mole perhaps, as it emerged momentarily from its underground haven. I heard recently on the radio that with global warming and the decrease in snow cover, small mammals are now at risk due to loss of habitat. With a ripple effect, larger animals who eat these small rodents will be lacking in food.

Turtles are dug into the mud at the bottom of ponds, lakes or rivers. They will only emerge from the depths when the sun is warm enough to help them digest their food. They might have to return to their winter homes temporarily if we have a late snowfall or frost. They are very adaptable. Even the eggs somehow “know” when to start developing, and can remain dormant even after being laid. Of course, a huge number of turtle eggs are eaten by predators before ever hatching. We once came upon an Eastern Painted turtle in the midst of laying. We were able to see the eggs dropping out of her body, into the hole she had laboriously dug. She ignored us, and we went on our way.

I don’t know about you, but I always love to get a glimpse of those majestic giants, those huge snapping turtles that lurk in many Ontario waterways..

We often saw one of these giants, who lived , or seemed to frequent, Potato Bay at the summer camp I went to. Somehow, I never had any fear of these creatures .Even now, in the dead of winter, I think of them fondly, and in the spring, will celebrate their survival of yet another winter.

Chelsea Jodoin's art is on exhibition for the first time in Cornwall at the gallery Le Corrid'ART during the month of January.

The title of the show is Extroversions.

Chelsea is a graduate of l'école secondaire la Citadelle; she pursued her studies at the University of Ottawa where in April 2013, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with specialization in painting.

!!!!!!!!

!!

Her work is large and filled with colour, movement and emotion. "In my work, I challenge and explore the limitations of abstraction and figuration..." notes Chelsea in her artist statement.

She has shown her work at Studio Sixtysix, Ottawa, Momentum University of Ottawa, Paradigm Gallery, Ottawa and the University of Ottawa.

Chelsea will be on hand to greet guests on Friday January 10, between 5 and 8 pm.

The Centre culturel (124 Anthony street, Cornwall - 613-932-9106) is very proud to promote Chelsea's art and welcomes the public to come and appreciate the work of this young new talent.

LE COIN FRANCO

It’s time for New Year’s Resolutions.

Of course, that’s what everyone is talking about, thinking about, and writing about.

But who is creating visually about it?

Here is your challenge for the month: create something visually that tells about a resolution or goal that you have made. It could be a picture, a sketch, a sculpture – the options are nearly endless. It can be straightforward (a painting of you sweating it out at the gym because this year you really are going to lose all that Christmas weight), or abstractly hidden (a sculpture made of empty plates and celery to show the same goal?).

Do this with your kids, if you have some. This isn’t just a creative activity for grown ups. By doing this along side your children, you’re not only supporting their creative growth, but you are also showing them the importance of setting goals, thinking about ways to better themselves through artistic reflection, and giving them something to do if the weather gets too bleak to spend more than a few hours outside.

Post photos of your artwork to my Facebook page, too! I would love to see what you and your family have come up with.

Patrick Guindon is a local Creative. He is a primary school teacher, and has made lots of creative things. You can follow him on Facebook (www.facebook.com/patrickguindonart) and on Twitter @123patrickg.

On Wednesday, December 18, for the eighth consecutive year, students at Immaculate Conception enjoyed a delicious homemade turkey luncheon prepared by their teachers.

The teachers cooked and carved turkeys, prepared pots of gravy, peeled and mashed potatoes, boiled the corn and prepared dessert.

This year the turkeys were donated by, Gisele Gray, Farm Boy and Baxtrom's, The Independent Grocer.

John Baxtrom also donated 14 bags of corn, 200 + homemade peanut free cupcakes, 200 + dinner rolls, plates, cutlery and 4 cans of cranberry sauce! He delivered the groceries personally on Monday, December 16, and praised our teachers for reaching out in such a heartfelt way to our students. Mr. Baxtrom said, "I don't think I have ever heard or seen another school do this." On the morning of the luncheon Mr. Baxtrom, Mrs. Baxtrom and their son delivered fresh, homemade peanut free snowmen cupcakes that Mrs. Baxtrom had baked and iced the night before!

Each student donated one potato, but many students generously contributed more.

Teachers generously contributed all other items necessary for the luncheon and put on their chefs' hats.

TURKEY LUNCHEON

The Local Immigration Partnership (LIP) is excited to announce International Sport Day 2014. The event is designed to give newcomers to the Stormont, Dundas & Glenngarry and Prescott-Russell regions the opportunity to meet people, make friends and have some fun playing sport. The LIP is looking for avid fans of either Soccer and/or Cricket to take part in the indoor event to be held in March.

Soccer is arguably the most popular sport in the world. Dubbed the ‘the beautiful game’, the sport is played across Europe, South America, Africa and East Asia by professionals and amateurs. The Soccer World Cup, held every four years, is the most watched sporting event on earth. Over 700m people were glued to their televisions’ as they tuned in to watch Spain edge past The Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup final.

Cricket, dubbed ‘the gentleman’s game’ due to its association with the English aristocracy in the 17th century, has become a global phenomenon. Quickly escaping its origins, the sport has made household names out of players in Australasia, England, South Africa and South Asia. The 2011 World Cup semi-final between Pakistan and India attracted an audience of over a billion people. Bolstered by the introduction Twenty20 cricket, the game’s popularity continues to grow across the world.

So if you think you can bend it like Beckham or cover drive like Dravid, or if you just love cricket and soccer, then the LIP wants to hear from you. The feedback LIP receives will decided which sport will be played on the day and the event is open to all newcomers aged 18 and over.

To register your interest, please visit our website www.5eo.ca or alternatively contact the event organizers Kimberly, Sonia and Craig at (613) 932 0210. kimberlyvl@eotb-cfeo.on.ca sonias@eotb-cfeo.on.ca craigm@eotb-cfeo.on.ca

A huge thank you is extended to all teachers and staff at Immaculate Conception. Our parent and grand parent volunteers worked very hard and without them the luncheon would not have been possible: Natalie Bissonnette, Christine Fontaine, Gisele Gray, Anita Moquin, Ryan Prevost, Lynn Ravary, Ria Rozon and Tanya Vierling. THANK YOU!

SEEKER SNIPPETS - SEEKER SNIPPETS Municipal Works provides update on snow and ice removal efforts Snow removal operations on Cornwall's streets, boulevards and sidewalks are continuing however due to the large accumulation of snow and ice received in the past couple weeks, combined with the effects of the recent deep freeze-thaw cycles and rainfall activity, these operations are progressing slowly.

The City's Municipal Works Department is using all available resources, including contractors, to address the snow and ice conditions on roadways and sidewalks.

"Like many other Ontario cities, we are experiencing challenges as the weather has been very changeable and demanding," said Bill de Wit, Division Manager, Municipal Works. "We want to thank all motorists and pedestrians for their patience and understanding as we continue our snow removal efforts."

Provided that additional snowfall is not received in the immediate future, City crews and contractors will continue to work during the day and night removing snow to address line of sight issues and snow storage capacity on boulevards.

Due to the development of ice pack conditions on many sidewalks, it is extremely difficult for snow and ice removal operations to proceed in an effective manner. Many sidewalk sections have not been cleared and cannot be cleared using standard sidewalk snow removal equipment. Therefore snow and ice removal on sidewalks which have not been cleared can only continue when warmer weather conditions allow use of standard equipment. Where possible, larger equipment normally used for snow removal on streets and boulevards will be used to clear snow and ice on sidewalks.

International Taekwon Do Instructor from Cornwall receives 4th Degree Black Belt Ms. Betty Ann Villeneuve, Head Instructor of Freedom Taekwon-Do recently participated with belt testing December 2013 under Master Pierre Laquerre, 8th degree Black Belt at the Academie de Taekwon-Do in Trois Rivier, Quebec. After over six hours of a grueling exam three individuals were promoted to their Fourth Degree Black Belt.

The exam included a fitness exam, a written exam, as well as black belt fundamentals, patterns, sparring, stepsparring, self defense and board breaking. The three individuals, Phu Nguyen from Ottawa, François Sevigny from Quebec City, and Betty Ann Villeneuve from Cornwall, all did exceptionally well.

In attendance; were Mr. Nguyen and Ms. Villeneuve’s instructor, Mr. Steven LeGrow 6th Degree Black Belt, Head Instructor of Team Blackburn TKD, Mr. David Chaffee 2nd Degree Black Belt and Miss April Chaffee 1st Degree Black Belt, Assistant Instructors of Freedom Taekwon Do. Congratulations Sabum Nim Gae Nguyen, Sevigny and Villeneuve

Sidewalks which have been cleared will be maintained to an acceptable standard comprised of snow removal with salt and/or sand application. It is important to note that the ice melting effects of salt have limited effect in extremely cold weather conditions. Residents using sidewalks are encouraged to proceed with caution to avoid slips or falls.

Residents who have questions or require further information can contact the Municipal Works Department at (613) 932-5354.

About the City's transportation network

The City's transportation network is made up over 270 kilometres of roads, over 170 kilometres of sidewalks, 180 kilometres of roadside ditches, 17 municipal parking lots, 62 traffic signals, and 9,000 traffic signs. These assets are maintained year round in accordance with provincial maintenance standards through activities such as road patrols, crack and pothole repairs and sidewalk trip edge inspections and repairs. In addition, a combination of City and contracted resources are used to maintain the transportation network during the winter months.

It Pays to Play: CORNWALL RESIDENT WINS RECENT ENCORE DRAW Congratulations to Marc Luc Tremblay of Cornwall, the latest winner of $100,000 with ENCORE (December 20, 2013 LOTTO MAX draw).

“I actually bought two tickets on my wife’s birthday as a gift, but I decided to keep them instead,” shared Marc, a father of four, while at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim his prize. “I don’t check my tickets regularly so that’s why it took me so long to come in.”

Marc’s biggest win before this one was $70 with INSTANT BINGO. The truck driver plans to pay off bills, put some money towards his mortgage and maybe take a trip. “It’s a very good boost,” he concluded.

ENCORE can be played in conjunction with most online lottery games for an extra $1.

There is an ENCORE draw every day.

The winning ticket was purchased at CNIB Lottery Kiosk in Cornwall Square on Water Street in Cornwall.

Olivia and Liam Remain Most Popular Baby Names in Ontario Ontario Making it Easier for Parents to Register Newborns Online

Olivia and Liam are the most popular names for girls and boys born in Ontario for the second year in a row.

Olivia has been the favourite name for girls since 2008, followed by the same second, third and fourth place names from last year — Emma, Sophia and Ava. Emily joins the ranks to round out the top five. For boys, Ethan, Jacob and Lucas once again took spots two through four, with Benjamin coming in at five.

Ontario gives parents up to one year to register their newborn’s birth online.

Through the easy-to-use 4-in-1 Newborn Bundle, they can register their child’s birth and apply for their birth certificate, social insurance number and Canada child benefits, including the Ontario child benefit, in one easy step. Birth certificates ordered online are guaranteed to be mailed within 15 business days or they’re free.

• The Ontario Registrar General compiles annual lists of given baby names from registered births in the province for the previous year.

• ServiceOntario’s 4-in-1 Newborn Bundle was the first of its kind in Canada when it launched in 2007. Since then, more than 720,000 newborns have been registered in Ontario using the service.

• The Ontario child benefit provides up to $1,210 per child per year for nearly one million children to support Ontario families.
