Let t er s t o t he Edit o r Dear Editor I have a question for all Municipal Councils ? why haven't all of the Municipalities launched a constitutional challenge under section 92A (2) of the Constitution? Surely if all municipalities united and did this the costs would be minimal and it would assist all the people. It is quite clear under 92A (2) that the province cannot be involved in discriminatory pricing practices, and yet the province is. 92A (2) states: Export f rom provinces of resources 92 A (2) In each province, the legislature may make laws in relation to the export from the province to another part of Canada ? the production from facilities in the province for the generation of electrical energy, but such laws may not authorize or provide for discrimination in prices or in supplies exported to another part of Canada. With the province selling electricity subsidizing other jurisdictions (Manitoba and Quebec), surplus or not including distribution charges, is it not discriminatory against the people of Ontario? Therefore the province is in violation of the Constitution with the present pricing, as it is charging Ontarians more than it is charging these other areas. As for the Ontario Energy Board ? their responsibilities include, "to protect the interests of consumers with respect to prices and the adequacy, reliability and quality of electricity service," (section 1 O.E.B. Act). The Board maybe in conflict because the same section states: "To promote electricity conservation and demand management ? consistent with the policies of the Government" ...So much for the "price freeze" until next year. So question ? how can the Board ensure that a consumer's interests are protected when the Board must be consistent with government policies? A question to government ? why would anyone purchase shares, in Hydro One, when the government must ensure the price of electricity is not discriminatory? Hydro One was created as a non-profit provider (public service) and is to ensure the people of
w a i t i n gf o r ?
Of f i ce Hour s
Ontario have electricity at cost, including distribution, so wouldn't this mean people are purchasing shares in a company with no profit?
327 2ND STREET E. CORNWALL, ONTARIO Monday to Friday 10am to 5:30pm Closed 1-1:30pm for lunch
If anyone is of the opinion that electing another party is going to assist in this issue, think again, as we haven't heard anything from the parties about this government's breach of trust (gas-plants) or this constitutional issue. One merely has to look at the disgrace the land registry (Teranet) is in, MPAC, etc., to see they all have the same mandate and it is not to assist the people, it is merely to say what is needed to get re-elected to support the back-room cronies who get the goodies yet give the same failed advice. Isn't it time for a real change?

ACTOR MICHAEL KOSKE GUEST AT CAPE 2017 The Cornwall & Area Pop Event presents special guest and Walking Dead zombie Michael Koske. Michael Koske acting credits include frequent appearances as a featured "Walker" on AMC's The Walking Dead. His zombie likenesses have appeared on t-shirts, figures, playing cards, and other official merchandise, and he's graced the pages of Entertainment Weekly, The Walking Dead Official Magazine, the cover of The Ultimate Guide to Zombies, Rolling Stone Magazine, and most recently, the cover of TV Guide. He has also appeared as a daywalking Vampire on The Originals which is a spinoff for the Vampire Diaries, USA Network's Necessary Roughness, the movie The Crazies, The Following featuring Kevin Bacon, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Need for Speed, Goosebumps, Captain America: Civil ?War, the third installment of the The Divergent Series: Allegiant, season 3 of Sleepy Hollow and most recently Hidden Figures starring Kevin Costner. Other guest attending CAPE 2017 in addition to Michael Koske include Kimberly Leemans, Yanic Truesdale, Don Teems, Sean Gunn, and Chris Sullivan. CAPE 2017 takes place April 22nd and 23rd 2017 at the Benson Centre. EOHU AND CCPS ISSUE FENTANYL WARNING IN EASTERN ONTARIO - The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) and the Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) are warning the public that illicit Fentanyl, also known as bootleg Fentanyl, has been seized by authorities within the 5 Eastern counties. Illicit Fentanyl can be found on the street in a powdered form or pressed into pills that come in any colour, shape and size. The pills can also have a variety of markings and be disguised to look like other products made by the pharmaceutical industry (Oxycontin, Percocet, etc.). It may also be added to other illicit drugs like cocaine, heroin and crystal meth. ?Illicit Fentanyl can be found in any street drug and its concentration will vary from one pill to another due to the lack of quality control,? explains Daniel Parkinson, Chief of Police at the CCPS. ?Even a small amount of illicit Fentanyl can be deadly, which explains why it has caused hundreds of deaths throughout the country.? ?Fentanyl, whether it?s the real thing produced by the pharmaceutical industry or illicit, is an opioid drug that slows down the part of the brain that controls breathing,? says Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health at the EOHU. ?Illicit Fentanyl is deadly because the dosage is not controlled and it can therefore cause people to
completely stop breathing.? The health unit and Cornwall Police are reminding the public not to buy any drugs off the street as there?s no way of knowing what?s inside them. All opioid drugs can be dangerous and should only be taken as prescribed by a medical professional. 1500 RESIDENTS SIGNED PETITION TO SAVE LOCAL SCHOOLS According to MPP Jim McDonell: Over 1,500 residents of Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry came together to sign an online petition to save our local rural schools from closure. In an underhanded move, last year the Government removed community benefit and local economic benefit factors from the Pupil Accommodation Review Guidelines, the document in which School Boards must comply with to make decisions on building and closing schools. Any resident of rural Ontario will tell you how the local school is a keystone of the community, providing local opportunities for families to raise children and give them an outstanding education. This drives economic activity and community development across Ontario. The Ministry of Education must come to its senses and return these two key values to the PARG. NEW COMMUNITY ADDICTION AND MENTAL HEALTH CENTRE - The new one level, 22 000 square feet building located at the north end of the Cornwall Hospital property is ready for occupancy and the moves are scheduled during the month of October. An official ribbon cutting ceremony and open house will follow early 2017. The following services are moving: Adult Mental Health Services: Geriatric Mental Health Services, Addiction Services, Community Withdrawal Management Services, Assertive Community Treatment Team / First episode Psychosis, Mental Health Crisis Team / Peer Support, and Child and Youth Mental Health Services. Parking is available: Coming off of McConnell: please turn at the traffic light indicating the Emergency entrance. You can enter the parking lot numbered P2 on your left. Coming from Marleau Avenue: turn onto hospital property and at the stop sign turn right, then right again into P2. There are 2 handicap parking spaces by the new building, facing McConnell Avenue and there are more in the ungated P3 parking adjacent to P2. f there is no parking available in on the north side of the building, please park on the south side of the hospital in either P5 or P6. There is only one entrance
available to the public; the main entrance which faces McConnell Avenue. Please check in with reception upon your arrival; you will be directed to the appropriate area. There is a new phone number for the centre, but the older phone numbers will also still work for a short period of time to ensure a smooth transition. The new phone number is 613-361-6363 or toll free at 1-844-361-6363. CELEBRATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT WEEK - The City of Cornwall is celebrating Local Government Week with a series of special events on Saturday, October 22nd. Residents are invited to stop by City Hall, the main Fire Hall and the Justice Building courtyard from 10 am to 2 pm and take part in the festivities. Some of the free, family-friendly activities on tap include: A ?Cool Engines and Flashing Lights?display of vehicles and big machines such as a police cruiser, ambulance, snowplow, dump truck, and a Cornwall Transit bus; Tour City Hall and Council Chambers. Have a seat in the Mayor?s Chair and try on the Chain of Office; Tour the Fire Hall and check out some of the equipment and fire trucks; Appearances by the Town Crier and Sparky; and a community barbecue by the Kinsmen Club of Cornwall. Running from October 16 to 22, Local Government Week is a province-wide initiative that aims to raise awareness of the important role local government plays in our communities. ?This is a great opportunity for residents to find out more about their municipal government and the important programs and services it provides,? said Mayor Leslie O?Shaughnessy. CORNWALL NATIONALS ADD DEFENCEMAN - General Manager Mitch Gagne and the Cornwall Nationals have come to terms with defenceman Zackary Rheaume. The 22-year-old blueliner from Ottawa was impressive during last weekend?s training camp at the Civic Complex. Rheaume, 6-foot-3, 190 lbs., played for the Gloucester Rangers and Ottawa Jr. Senators in the CCHL. Cornwall hosts Watertown in Federal Hockey League pre-season play on Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Civic Complex. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. The Nationals?inaugural FHL home opener is Sunday, Oct. 30 vs. Danville. The puck drops at 1 p.m. Season tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased at the Cornwall Nationals office, located downstairs at the Civic Complex. Prices are $290 for adults, $230 for seniors (60+) and students (13 to 18) and $115 for children 12 and under.

your new spouse, let loose and party hard because this is your day and you should have the time of your life. But when the wedding is done and everyone has gone home, continue to have fun. After the honeymoon is over and the bills are due, remember your wedding night and the good time that was had. When you have your first fight as a married couple talk about it, deal with it together, and move on as one. Always make sure to weave fun into your marriage, even on the hard days. Laugh together as much as you can, play like kids even when you?re tired, and go on adventures as often as possible. Find excitement even in the little things and keep learning together as you go. Your wedding will be amazing and will be a day you never forget, but always remember that your marriage is what?s important. Your marriage should be your main focus and you should put as much effort into your relationship as you have into your wedding planning, because your wedding will last one day but your marriage will last a lifetime. Make it a fun one. Shannon Ferguson is a writer who recently returned to her roots in Cornwall.

The official opening of the exhibition for the public is Thursday October 20. The vernissage will be held on Friday October 21 starting at 6:30 pm at the Cornwall Square, upper level near the Food Court. The public is invited to meet and greet the artists and to join in to congratulate the winners of the show. The exhibition will continue for the next two weeks. There is no charge for admission. Visitors are also invited to participate in the ?Name the Painting? contest. The winner will receive a gift certificate from Cailuan Gallery on Pitt Street.
FOCUS ART 12t h ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION at CORNWALL SQUARE This year?s juried exhibition attracted 50 members submitting a total of 123 pieces of artworks. These works of art were judged by Ann Gruchy, a professional artist hailing from North Gower. Ann is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists and has acted as juror for many of the art groups in Eastern Ontario. While art appreciation is subject to an individual?s taste, an experienced juror examines the technical elements as well as the creative imagination in the artwork. Some of the elements in the judge?s considerations include composition, colour, texture, movement or flow, framing and skillful use of the media. The creative components refer to the way an artist expressed an idea or feelings with depth and originality. Ann commented, after her critique, that she was impressed with the quality of the submissions. She stated that her main goal as a juror is to encourage artists to grow and to perfect the skills. She also suggested that artists should respond to the call for juried exhibitions whenever possible. They
In an effort to produce high quality workshops and programs for their members and public, FOCUS ART is conducting a fundraising raffle. The winner will take home an original painting by popular local artist Kathleen Morin titled ?Come Walk with Me? (30?x40? Acrylic). The tickets are $10 each. The draw will be held at Focus Art?s Christmas gathering on December 7.

F rommy pantry...
Sha ry n
THO M PSO N W ho isn't busy these days? But, we all have to eat. The trick is not to take forever getting a meal on the table. I try to have a good stock of basic pantry items, fresh veg, (which isn't hard with my garden) and help from items in my freezer. Before Thanksgiving, I made up extra pie crusts and froze them. It is a previously made pie crust that made this supper so quick and nice. I made a delicious quiche and fried some leftover potatoes to go along with it. W hen Gary left to go to Cornwall, I was working in my vegetable garden. One hour later, we were ready to sit down to a delicious supper. In less than an hour, the quiche was ready to eat. A salad would go nicely here as well, but I had some leftover potatoes that made great homefries and I'm Irish and love potatoes! NEVER FAI L PASTRY (One of my custom er s told m e that after m e giving her this r ecipe for pastr y, she has had no tr ouble m aking her pies any m or e. This is r eally a w onder ful pie cr ust, flaky and tender alw ays. If any of you need a bit of help, just com e by my stor e and M onday, Fr iday or Satur day and I w ill be glad to help you.)
to gently com bine the liquid into the flour m ixtur e. This w ay my hands don't w ar m up the pastr y. If all of the flour m ixtur e w on't m ix in, don't be afr aid to add in a bit m or e cold w ater. The pie pastr y m ust stick together w hen you take a sm all handful.
I NGREDI ENTS:
-If you have a pastr y cloth and r olling pin cover , it w ill m ake your job r olling out the pastr y so m uch easier. (We sell these at Shar yn's Pantr y. It w ill be the best thing you ever did for your self to m ake r olling pie cr ust so easy!)

6 cups of unbleached pastr y flour (w e sell this at Shar yn's Pantr y) 2 tsp. fine salt 1 tsp. baking pow der 1 tbsp. br ow n sugar 1 lb. of Tender flake lar d 1/3 cup butter 1 egg beaten in a m easur ing cup along w ith 1 tbsp. w hite vinegar and enough cold w ater to fill to the 1 cup level
M ETHOD: In a lar ge bow l, m easur e the pastr y flour in a lar ge bow l, add the salt, sugar , and baking pow der. -Cut in the lar d and butter w ith a pastr y blender until the lar d and butter ar e in sm all pieces the size of peas w ith just a few bits lar ger. -Beat the egg in the m easur ing cup and add the vinegar and enough cold w ater to m easur e 1 cup total. -Pour this over the dr y lar d and flour m ixtur e. -I use a plastic bow l scr aper
-Take about a baseball sized pastr y and flatten this into a disc.
-Use just a bit of all pur pose flour to dust your counter top or better yet, your pastr y cloth and r olling pin cover. Roll out your pastr y and place it in your pie plate. -Continue r olling out the pie cr usts, place a sheet of plastic w r ap in betw een each pie plate. -Place the pie shells in a lar ge plastic bag and fr eeze for futur e use. These w ill be r eady to use for a quickly m ake quiche, or a pie. -One r ecipe w ill m ake about 12 pie shells. How good is that? YOUR QUI CHE (You can use any vegetables you have, fr esh or leftover w ill be fine)
M y Plan f or a qu ick su pper I NGREDI ENTS: -
one unbaked pie shell, use a 9" or 10" deep pie cr ust 3 extr a lar ge eggs and enough m ilk or cr eam to m easur e 1- 1/2 cups in total 1/2 a Vidalia onion, diced 1/4 of a sw eet r ed pepper , diced one br occoli cr ow n, br oken into sm all bite-sized flow er ets 3 tbsp. butter gr ated Gr uyer e cheese, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup total Gulden m ustar d or Dijon m ustar d
M ETHOD: -Set your oven r ack to the low est position. Tur n your oven on to 400 degr ees F. -Take your pie shell (fr ozen is fine) and place it on a baking sheet w ith sides. Save cleanup and line the baking sheet w ith par chm ent or tinfoil. -Tear of a lar ge piece of tinfoil and spr ay one side w ith no-stick spr ay. Gently cover the pie cr ust w ith the foil to pr ess into the sides and edges of the pastr y. Use pie w eights or soup peas to fill the foil. The w eight of these w ill stop the pastr y fr om shr inking as it bakes in the oven. -Bake the cover ed cr ust for 10 m inutes. Then car efully lift off the
foil and pie w eights. -Br ush the cr ust w ith the m ustar d. This w ill do 2 things, it w ill pr event the cr ust fr om getting soggy fr om the egg filling and secondly it w ill give m or e flavour to the quiche. - Bake the uncover ed pie cr ust in the oven for 5 m inutes longer. Keep the quiche shell on the baking sheet. -M eanw hile w hile the cr ust is doing its thing in the oven, saute in a fr ying pan in the butter , the onion and sw eet r ed pepper and br occoli flow er ets for just 5 m inutes. -Now , spr inkle the par tially baked pastr y w ith a sm all handful of the gr ated Gr uyer e cheese, then spr inkle over this the onion, pepper and br occoli pieces. -Pour the egg and cr eam m ixtur e slow ly into the pastr y shell. Spr inkle w ith the r em aining gr ated cheese. -Bake the quiche in a 350 degr ee F. oven for 30 to 35 m inutes or until the tip of a par ing knife com es out clean w hen inser ted into the top centr e of the quiche. -Once out of the oven, cut and ser ve and ENJOY!!!

G ALW 5 helpful home organizing ideas to help you make the most of your time and space!
I am sure you would love more time to do the things you love or even just make your busy day flow better. Do you cringe at the thought of getting organized? It can seem like an overwhelming chore, especially if you are super busy. Below are 5 easy ways to fit getting organized into your schedule, no matter how busy you are, and help you make time for the things that really matter. 5. Take baby st eps. We have all heard this a million times, but it works. Pick an easy task and take 10 to 20 minutes everyday to tackle it. Sound impossible? Just doing 10 minutes over 7 days will give you over an hour of organizing time, and you won?t even notice. 4. Pick a project you can f inish quickl y, like a section of your closet or a drawer. Giving yourself small projects that you can master in 10 minutes will help boost your motivation. Being motivated will help you keep going and you will see results quicker. 3. I?ve al ways heard t hat get t ing up 30 minut es earl ier and going t o bed 30 minut es earl ier is a great way to become more efficient and organized. I think it?s a great suggestion but I think 30 minutes is too much. Using the same philosophy, try getting up 15 minutes earlier and going to bed 15 minutes earlier. It?s more realistic, 15 minutes is easier to find in your day than 30. 2. There is onl y 24 hours in a day so have a look at your daily schedule and see where you can make some positive changes. Be realistic. Look at the things that have to happen first, like work, meals etc. You have to work and eat, but look at how to make meals more efficient and start there. Maybe you can batch cook or have a night of frozen meals. Next look at the things that are luxury, like watching television. Are you a couch potato? Or on Facebook all day? these are easy things to do less of or even cut out. 1. Downsize. We live in a society where we accumulate and never get rid of things. Maybe it?s time to purge. Besides feeling great, purging helps you get rid of things you don?t really need. Make yourself feel even better by donating your stuff to a charity. If you need cash, have fun and have a yard sale. Less stuff means less time maintaining it, like dusting and organizing. Get rid of the stuff you are always fussing over, and viola! More time.

the chilly weather in November. "The people in Canada are so great. That's the best part about touring Canada. We look forward to the shows because the fans make them amazing. We have a great time playing in Canada. The weather will probably suck though," said Trever Keith with a chuckle.

Trever Keith says he is going to keep his eyes peeled for the new Chixdiggit beer while in Canada, however his hops loyalty remains with a Denver brewery. "I never tried Chixdiggit beer. I'll have to look for it. There is a brewery in Denver, Colorado called Big Choice Brewing and their beer is the best," Trever Keith exclaimed.
Ottawa Ontario - Face to Face are playing the Bronson Centre in Ottawa on November 10th as a part of their upcoming Canadian Tour.
Face to Face, which formed in 1991, have had many hit songs including "Disconnected", from their 1995 album 'Big Choice'. That song was a radio hit and appeared in the movie National Lampoon's Senior Trip and in the movie Tank Girl.
The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Trever Keith, bass player and vocalist Scott Shiflett, guitarist and vocalist Dennis Hill, and drummer Danny Thompson.
Other Face to Face hit songs include "Blind" and "Ordinary" which both appeared on their 1996 self-titled album. The black and white album cover portrays a man looking at his own face in the mirror.
The legendary California punk band is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a new album titled 'Protection' that came out on Fat Wreck Chords earlier this year.
If Trever Keith were to look in the proverbial mirror today, who would he see? How has he and the face of his band changed over the past few decades?
"I have a ton of respect for Fat (Wreck Chords). They have been around for over 25 years and have always stayed independent. It has been a homecoming for us that has been awesome. Everybody is so cool to us and is really great at what they do. They know how to promote punk rock records and at the end of the day it's as simple as that. That is what we need," Trever Keith stated.
"I see an old guy!" Trever Keith laughed. "We are older. There have been a few lineup changes. I think we are a better band," he added.

The new album was produced Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore at the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado. Working with the legendary punk drummer in the studio was a thrilling experience for Trever Keith. Bill Stevenson, the former Descendents and Black Flag drummer, helped influence the song arrangements and the use of background vocals in the mix. He has an impressive resume as a producer and engineer working on fan favorite albums from NOFX, Propagandhi, Anti-Flag and more. "Working with Bill Stevenson was amazing, scary, fun, and something we hope to repeat again for the next record," Trever Keith reflected. The album 'Protection' has 11 songs on it including a track titled "14:59" - It's a song that is based on a cultural obsession with mindless entertainment and people getting 15 minutes of fame without actually offering anything of substance to society. "It is about the culture of reality based entertainment and people who are only famous for being famous without anything to offer; a culture which not only exists in the US, but also in Europe and Canada as well," Trever Keith observed. Trever Keith explains the song is not meant to be political, and it is in no way related to the culture that has lead to reality television host and star Donald Trump running for the U.S. presidency. "No 14:59 is not about Donald Trump nor does it have anything to do with politics," Trever Keith added.
Face to Face split up in 2004, but reformed four years later in 2008. During their hiatus band members worked on other projects including The Offspring, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Saves the Day, and Legion of Doom. Since 2008 Face to Face has been touring and releasing albums regularly. Face to Face continues to be a very successful band after 25 years drawing enthusiastic crowds everywhere they go. Trever Keith has so much gratitude for Face to Face fans and he describes them as family "The only appropriate response is 'Thanks'! Thanks for all of your support over the years. Because of you it feels like a family and we look forward to spending time with you," said Trever Keith. In addition to a new album and touring, Face to Face will also be paying homage to their early work. The band is re-releasing special edition vinyl copies of their first few records. Playing in Face to Face has been a gratifying and rewarding experience for Trever Keith. He feels fortunate for the opportunity. "We do what we do and we are fortunate enough to have a lot of people like it," Trever Keith concluded. Face to Face play live on Thursday, November 10th, 2016 at the Bronson Centre in Ottawa Ontario. The venue is located at 211 Bronson Avenue. Opening the concert for Face to Face are the Crusades and The Valveenus. Ticket s are $28.50, t he show st art s at 7pm, and t he event is al l ages. Ticket s are avail abl e onl ine, and t icket s al so avail abl e at Vert igo Records, bot h Compact Music l ocat ions and St omping Ground in Ot t awa. This event is present ed by spect rasonic.com.

M O RRELL WITHOUT COMMON SENSE You Cannot Make t he Right Decision, Ensure Your Wel l Being Or Prosperit y Part 2 of 6
Acquiring Common Sense St ep By St ep
The more you're trained to think one way (workplace, family, culture, etc.), the greater the chance that sometimes you allow sloppy or auto-pilot thinking to take the place of common sense. Common sense isn't a one-stop-destination; it's a way of thinking that needs constant nourishing and application.
Leaning About The Purpose And Meaning Of Common Sense.
Common sense depends on not over-complicating the situation by keeping it simple (applying experience and general knowledge to the situation), and understanding it is self-trust that you considered experience and which is valid in future situations. Common sense depends on the situation and the context. Your common sense is one aspect of your life; it might be excellent while failing dreadfully in another aspects. The purpose of common sense is basically thinking that it will prevent you from making irrational mistakes or decisions. It is a thinking approach that may open your eyes to the possibility that insisting on being right prevents you from seeing the bigger picture.
Th e Dad Sh ow 12 Week Ch al l enge Welcome to The-Dad-Show 12 week health challenge!! Over the next 12 weeks, we'll be talking about the right kind of fuel we need to feed our bodies and how we can improve our overall health. Basically a kickstart to guide you in the right direction towards your own personal health goals. We all deserve a healthier lifestyle and hopefully we can achieve this together. **** We are not health professionals. We are individuals that want a healthier lifestyle and want to motivate others along the way.
Week 6 Chal l enge
The human mind is easily convinced an idea to be is right, while indicators clearly demonstrate otherwise. As a human being you are fallible and your brain works in certain ways to provide shortcuts to ensure your survival. In a split second judging can land you in hot water as you react instead of thinking.
TREAT YOURSELF to a moment of relaxation. Between hectic work schedules and taking care of yourself, you probably already have plenty of reasons to pamper yourself with a spa! Listen to The-Dad-Show episode of Thursday October 27th @8pm, only on www.dunet.ca. All shows are recorded and available to listen from our website after the live broadcast.
Things Your Mind Does To Override Common Sense:
Benef it s of a day at t he spa
Maintaining your own sense of reality which is out of proportion with specific reality. For some people, their sense of reality becomes the only sense of reality and they believe that they can manipulate or transform situations to turn out the way they want them to be.Reflex which is a reactive thinking based simply on what you've learned through your life. This type of thinking leads to errors in thinking because you refuse to push beyond standard associations formed in our mind about how things 'should be'. Consequently your common sense is overridden making you think your problem is solved without thinking it through. This type of thinking easily controls you by validating current popular theories in some societies which control social opinion through inflating fears of germs, criminals, terrorists, and job unavailability.Invoking absolute certainty. 'Absolutist' black and white thinking about the world and others is a way that never allows space for doubt. For such thinkers, the 'one true way' is the only way and therefore seems like common sense even though it isn't.Pigheaded', a simple unwillingness to be wrong, ever. Founded on any number of reasons including insecurities, fear, incomprehension, anger, and fear of ridicule. Pigheadedness is the cause of many irrational and unjustifiable decision or action.
1- Care for your skin 2- Loosen your muscles 3- keep your nails healthy 4- Detoxify 5- Disconnect 6- Relieve stress 7- Gain a sense of renewal
Common sense also prevents you from being narrow-minded about rules, theories, ideas, and guidelines that would obstruct your decision in a particular situation. In other words, just because someone says so, or it has always been done that way, is not a reason to abandon common sense about present needs and changed circumstances.
Next week more examples about actions that override common sense. I f you have a ny questions, plea se ca ll ma r ie M or r ell at 613-936-6873 or ema il: office@wor kea sysolutions.com or visit: w w w.wor kea sysolutions.com
Wh y I'm doin g it The reason I decided the join the 12 week health challenge is because I needed to change my eating habits. It was not uncommon for my husband and I to share a Pop and Chip almost every night. We have 3 young children and they were starting to follow suite with our habits. I needed to show them the right example. Since we've started, my energy level is up; believe it or not; it's much easier to get out of bed in the mornings! I feel more alert! The support coming through the group has helped motivate me and I'm excited to see the end results. We've discovered new healthy foods; and that's exiting all in itself! Thanks for coming up with this great idea; and thanks to the group for their motivation and support!

MacDonald more of ...What Do Al l These Mort gage Changes Mean t o Me? Let?s start our discussion of mortgage changes with the October 3, 2016 announcement to change the qualification interest rate for a 5 year fixed mortgage term effective October 17, 2016. The government made the changes to control the housing markets in Vancouver and Toronto but we are all affected by the decision.
There are other changes included in the October 2016 announcement but they do not significantly or directly influence our local residential housing market in the immediate future. The results of the other changes may be the closure of monoline lenders (lenders that do only mortgage lending), less rental mortgages available, increasing interest rates and less choice in mortgage products and less foreign property investment. These are only predictions and time will tell what the true consequences will be. Basically, until now, when you apply for a 5 year fixed mortgage, your ability to pay for the mortgage was calculated on the actual rate you would pay (around 2.49% ). If the amount of your total debt came in around 44% or less compared to your gross income (depending on your credit score and the lender you were working with), you would likely be approved for the mortgage. With this change, you will still pay 2.49% interest but in order to qualify how much your
mortgage payments will cost you, the payments are calculated at the posted rate (currently 4.64% ). The posted rate has been used to qualify variable rate mortgages, Home Equity Lines of Credit and 1-4 year term mortgages for years. This change now requires 5 year fixed mortgage terms to be included as well. That may not seem significant but let?s look at a specific situation: You want a mortgage of $200,000. With a 25 year amortization at a 2.49% interest rate for the 5 year term, the payments would be about $894.94. That amount is added to your other monthly debts and your ratio has to come in under 44% compared to your gross income. The new rule means, even though in real life you will be paying $894.94 each month for the next 5 years on your mortgage, the application will have to show you will be paying $1,122.96 each month for the next 5 years and still calculate under 44% compared to your gross income. That?s an extra $228.02 per month added to your total debts. It can make the difference between an approval or decline if your credit card debts are fairly high. You may not qualify for the full $200,000 anymore.
If you are in the middle of purchasing or refinancing your home, please contact me and we can go over your particular situation to see if this change will affect your ability to get the mortgage you are looking for.

About a year ago Dave Hause (who is in The Loved Ones and Painted Black) joined the Falcons. Hause has been an excellent addition for the band, and his professionalism juxtaposes well with Kelly's lawless approach to music writing. So many small local businesses have come and gone over the years. Do you recall Levesque's on Second Street East, two buildings west of the former Post Office (now Public Library)? Did you know that store was not their only location? A tutoring service operates above there today. This photo from 1960 illustrates the once highly popular neon signage throughout the downtown. Besides Levesque's, the Jade Garden Restaurant, Elco Electric, City Smoke Shop, King George Restaurant and Cornwallis Hotel are also in our past. This 1932 newspaper ad promoted the grand opening of Levesque's at an unspecified address, but conveys the impression that it was not their first location. A 1947 high school year book ad has Levesque's Baby Shop Reg'd operating out of 168 Montreal Road. Looking at this ad we see the 168 Montreal Road store operating as Levesque's Remnant Shop. Some versions of the ad call it a Remnant and Baby Shop.
Earlier this year, The Falcon released its second album, "Gather Up The Chaps, on Red Scare Industries". It was recorded at Atlas Studios in Chicago, a very familiar spot for Brendan Kelly. "The record is conceptually about kind of dark, dick swinging id. There's a lot of self loathing and self destruction baked into those songs. Lots of drinking, lots of drugs, stuff of that nature. We recorded it in Atlas Studios in Chicago, where the Lawrence Arms records all our records, and it was overall pretty standard in terms of laying stuff down", said Brendan Kelly. What is Kelly's favourite song off the new album? A song entitled "Dead Rose" which demonstrates his growth as a songwriter.
A 1953 newspaper ad had the baby shop now at 140 Pitt Street. And in 1969, operating at its final premises at 29 Second Street East, Levesque's was celebrating 31 years of growth, then marketing its wares to youth heading off to college. These are but a few of the images from our past housed at your Cornwall Community Museum and Archives.
I nterv i ew w i th punk super group T h e Fa l c o n Article by Jason Setnyk | Submitted Photo Ottawa Ontario ? Punk rock super group The Falcon play November 17th at Zaphods in Ottawa as a part of their Canadian tour. The Chicago-based band features guitarist and vocalist Brendan Kelly (The Lawrence Arms), drummer Neil Hennessy (The Lawrence Arms), vocalist and bassist Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio), and Dave Hause (The Loved Ones and Painted Black). Guitarist Todd Mohney (Rise Against) was also in the band for a brief period of time and recorded on the bands 2004 album. It's worth noting Todd Mohney's early contributions to The Falcon since he is what inspired the bands formation.
"Well, Dave is a spectacular performer and a great singer and a ripper on the guitar. He's so so good. He and I had never worked together before but I think that our different ideas really lent each other to a unique cool spot. I'm really into fuzz and biffed strings and happy accidents and reckless mood type stuff, and Dave is a consummate pro. The meeting of minds brought us to a place on "Gather Up The Chaps" that I don't think either of us could have gotten to on our own.
"I really like the song "Dead Rose" because it's really a departure for me as a songwriter and I feel like it turned out way better than I imagined it would", Brendan Kelly added. The Falcon mixes humour with many of it's songs ? and according to Kelly humour adds self awarness.
"Humour is the key to great art. Things don't have to be "funny" to have a sense of humor. Humour adds self awareness. That's why Minor Threat's lyrics hold up better than Gorilla Biscuits' lyrics. Nobody would ever say Minor Threat was a funny band, but they had a sense of humor that makes Gorilla Biscuits look a little self important and dour by comparison. Just to be clear, I love Gorilla Biscuits. No disrespect intended there. The Falcon is definitely influenced by lots of bands, not just funny ones. We love the rock," Brendan Kelly concluded. Opening the show for The Falcon is comedian Kyle Kinane. Kinane's first television appearance was on The Nanny playing "Young Roger Clinton". Kinane has performed his stand-up on television programs Last Call with Carson Daly, Live at Gotham, Conan, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He has opened for comedians Patton Oswalt and Daniel Tosh on tour. Wisconsin punk band Arms Aloft are also playing the gig. The concert t akes pl ace Thursday, November 17t h, 2016 at Zaphod Beebl ebrox on 27 York St reet in Ot t awa. It st art s at 8pm. Ticket s are $15 and t he event is 19+.
"The Falcon was inspired by Todd Mohney, formerly of Rise Against, who's just an amazing guitarist and performer. My band the Lawrence Arms was on tour with Rise Against and he had such a reckless awesome style that I wanted to start a band that had a bombastic name and sound. The Falcon was born. Dan and I grew up together and Neil is in the Lawrence Arms, so they came aboard immediately. Dave came about after Todd was long gone and we reformed to play the Red Scare 10 year show. Todd was in the band for a very brief period, then he moved away and I haven't seen him since. Last I heard he does mega-distance bike racing now. Great guy, great player, and I'd love, love, love to see him again", guitarist and vocalist Brendan Kelly reminisced. Mohney is not the only connection The Falcon has with Rise Against. Neil Hennessy, who currently plays in The Falcon and The Lawrence Arms, also played rhythm guitar in the summer of 2015 for Rise Against as a part of their European tour. In addition he co-wrote the Rise Against song "Swing Life Away", and he is also credited for doing percussion on a Less Than Jake album.

BAKER Hey there to all of you Cornwallites reading the fabulously most positive and informative "REAL" newspaper in the land. (The Cornwall & S.D.& G. land that is.) I hope you've been out enjoying the splendoriful fall colors! It's been an awesome year for leaves, as we've kept mostly dry without too much wind, enabling the leaves to stay crisp and bright, and more importantly, on the trees for an extended time!
Last week, John and I had a chance to go on a mini vacation, so we decided to just do it! During the week, we spent 2 nights at a cottage on Elbow Lake. (North of Kingston, in the middle of nowhere!) We went with my youngest son Marcus, and his girlfriend Kelsey to her parent's cottage. We were in the middle of the most beautiful scenery, in a fabulous cottage overlooking the water, surrounded by colorful trees. It was a complete break from the normal routine, and provided solice for the soul, and we all got to know one another a little bit better too. When such opportunities knock, I recommend taking them, which brings me to my tip of the week. TIP OF THE WEEK: Special moments are all around us, just waiting for us to take advantage of them. As an example of this, John and I were on our way somewhere and noticed the leaves at the corner of Brookdale and Ninth Streets, a busy intersection that we usually speed past. But on this day, we parked at the old Tourism lot, now the Eight Zero Zero Restaurant, and took a few photos. The one of me laying on the ground was taken there, and we only took twenty minutes away from wherever it was we were going in the first place. The short break was invigorating though, and put me in touch with Mother Nature, quite literally. These are the moments we remember in life. Had we not stopped, we would have gotten our errands done twenty minutes sooner, but without any element of fun. We also would not have had anything to remember, but by stopping, we have the pictures and the memories of a short fun little break from life. I recommend taking short fun breaks often! No time in your schedule? Make time! We are

AND REMEMBER
all given 24 hours each day, and it is up to us how we choose to spend most of them. Remember, we don't stop playing because we get older, we get older because we stop playing. So keep that inner child alive, play in the leaves, stop and look at flowers, or antiques, or anything that strikes your fancy. Fly a kite, build a fire, go for a walk. These are the moments of life that are worth living, and they are also the moments we will cherish and remember. FAMILY NEWS: This week, most of my children are away on a trip to Cuba, thanks to my daughter who recently got married. She has made this a yearly event, after bringing them last year. As a result, I've been babysitting some of my grandchildren, Abigail, Sampson and William, in Alexandria until my eldest daughter returns. It's given me an opportunity to connect with my grandkids more as they continue to grow up. ITEM OF THE WEEK: This week I'd like to show you a very cool purse that I found at Value Village for just $7.99. It features some very intersting compartments, including a hidden one in the base of the purse that contains an umbrella! They sure thought of everything with this purse, as it will be perfect for the fall weather ahead. COMMUNITY NEWS: John and I will be exhibitors at the Wedding Expo this Sunday at the Ramada Inn. It runs from 11:30 to 3:30, so come and see all of the vendors who can help you with your Wedding Planning. Over $1000 in prizes will be given away, so be sure to attend. This is also a time when John and I will reveal our new business cards and new name, Lister Photos. (www.listerphotos.ca) Another annual community event I will begin talking about in my column is Jamming for Hospice, the brainchild of Patti Edwards. This year marks the fifth year for this fundraising event. It will be held on Nov 26 at the Agora Center, and begins at 3PM. I will actually be the M.C. for the event, which is a huge step out of my comfort zone. It's ten hours of fun, with all proceeds going to Cornwall Hospice. This year there are nine musical acts performing so far, perhaps more will be added as the time draws near. This is a wonderful cause, so please mark it on your calendar and be sure to attend. Until Next Week: Remember, in this life we are all walking up the mountain and we can sing as we climb or we can complain about our sore feet. Whichever we choose we still have to do the hike. I decided a long time ago singing made a lot more sense. So keep a smile on your face, and a skip in your step until next week! Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca www.listerphotos.ca
