Now she has made her first solo recording — a five-song EP —which she is launching at The Social in Cornwall on November 15. Her original music is anunusual bilingual mix of Edith Piaf, Feist, Eartha Kitt and Stevie Nicks.

Here is an awesome juicing challenge testimonial - thanks Suzanne for your amazing words!

“Last month I felt inspired to start juicing and making smoothies in order to give my digestive system a break fora little while. I have done many different types of cleanses and juicing over the years, so it wasn’t something all thatnew to me. I was all set with my juicing machine and my Vitamix close by to do the job. After 3 days into my ownchallenge I saw that Sylvie (a.k.a. The Health Nut) was having another 10-Day Juicing Challenge. So I signed up theevening before it was to start and attended her seminar the next day. Sylvie and Lisa Blanchard (Spirit Tree YogaStudio owner) had so many great tips to offer and lots of wonderful taste-testing samples. We also watched amovie that truly inspired me to take this challenge even more seriously.

I juiced and made smoothies for a total of 14 days. I lost 7 lbs and felt amazing. In the process the bloating went downalmost completely, my stomach flattened considerably and I had energy to spare. The best I ever feel is when I’mnourishing my body with whole foods, and juicing is the way to go, so the body doesn’t have to work hard at digestingand breaking down the food.

The next time, my focus will be on juicing only. I want to eliminate the fruits insmoothies and I know that I will be able to reach my goal for weight loss andfeel even better about my health with only juicing.

If you are seeking to better your health, don’t miss the next 10-Day JuicingChallenge. You will be so happy that you chose to do this. Sylvie is a shininglight and inspiring in so many ways. She guides you along on your 10-DayJuicing Challenge with all the information and recipes you might need as wellas the support that may be required.”

I wrote a few blog posts about my juicing experience. You can find themon my website http://suzanne-mcraeHere’s to juicing and to your health!Suzanne

In health….

HEADACHES

One of the most common complaints we see in oursociety is the re-occurrence of headaches. Theyaccount for well over 12 million doctor visits peryear in North America, and are the most commonreason for missing work or school.

The November 12, 2003 issue of the Journal ofthe American Medical Association found that

headaches and back pain were the leading reasons for absenteeism andreduced productivity in the workforce.

PREDOMINANTLY TWO KINDS

The two most common kinds of headaches are migraines andcervicogenic (AKA tension). Migraines hit roughly 20% of thepopulation and tend to affect women more often than men. Withinmigraines there are two subtypes known as classic and common.Classic migraines make up 10-15% of the the group and typically havean "aura" associated with them, whereas common migraines typicallymake up the balance (85%) and have no "aura" associated with thembut are commonly triggered by hormonal changes, certain foods,blood sugar changes as well as stress and fatigue. In addition, 4 out of5 migraine sufferers have a family history of the condition.

Many culprits have been linked to being the source of all the differentheadaches known to man. Migraines are known to be due to swollenblood vessels. Tension headaches are experienced by up to 88% ofpeople at some point during their lifetime and women are twice asprone to tension type headaches as men are. Tension headaches alsotypically involve the sensation of one's head being in a "vice" and arecaused because of tight muscles in the neck. Unfortunately, what isvery common for us, as humans, is to lose our ideal posture over timeand our heads tend to slip forward with the decades. This condition isknown as developing a "forward head posture". With each inch ourhead slips forward of its ideal center of gravity, this will require ourneck muscles to work harder by a factor of 10.

A large study was conducted a few years ago at the SyracuseUniversity Medical School to determine what is the most commoncause for headaches. The study was headed by U of T medical doctor,Dr. Rothbart, and it was determined that 80% of headaches were dueto damaged cervical structures, which fell within the realm of achiropractor's expertise to solve them. The other 20% were due tohormonal issues, brain lesions, hypoglycemic reasons, etc...

If you (or someone you know) is suffering from headaches, you owe itto them (or yourself ) to investigate why you are getting theseincessant attacks. One thing is certain, no one ever got a headachefrom having a Tylenol deficiency!

Equipment leasing options for business ownersHave you considered leasing your business-relatedequipment as opposed to buying it outright? Leasingenables business owners to pay for the product as it isbeing used while the revenue generated by theequipment ‘pays’ for itself. Virtually any other financingdemands a substantial down payment, deposit or

compensating bank balance. By leasing, business owners canquickly acquire use of the required equipment without major cash outlay.

Leasing can be an especially attractive option given that lease payments can be100% tax-deductible, which may mean a more rapid write-off for business owners.And because the lease term is generally shorter than the depreciable life of theequipment, payments can be expensed in a shorter duration.

National mortgage brokerage firm Dominion Lending Centres has a leasingdivision – Dominion Lending Centres Leasing – that offers leasing programsproviding 100% financing and requiring minimal investment for the ‘purchase’ ofthe equipment. Business owners can immediately take advantage of the benefitsof the new equipment without using existing capital or credit, and continuegrowing their businesses. As an alternate credit source, leases don’t interfere withestablished credit lines, which, in turn, expands available working capital.

Leasing options include new equipment leasing; used equipment and vehicleleasing; customized solutions through vendor finance programs; and lease-backs– where the lender buys equipment from a business owner and the owner leasesit back.

Technology, heavy equipment and trailers, furniture and hospitality equipment,and manufacturing and industrial equipment are just a few examples of leasingoptions available to business owners. With today’s rapidly changing technology,some equipment can become obsolete relatively quickly. Leasing frequentlyenables business owners to acquire the new equipment they need without havingto keep costly equipment working years beyond its profitable lifespan.Vendor finance allows equipment vendors to offer customers another financingoption besides cash-on-delivery or 30-day terms. On high-ticket items, this can bea major benefit, since it may not be possible for some customers to meet

immediate payment terms. By extending the financing option through a DominionLending Centres Leasing professional, the vendor provides a choice that allowscustomers to better maintain their own cash flow.

Vendor finance is also known as vendor leasing and helps build vendor-customerrelationships while improving vendor sales volume. Customers can view the vendor as aone-stop shop where they can fulfill their orders and get financing, rather than havingto seek financing beforehand from a bank or other lending institution.

With access to multiple lending sources, lease professionals cancater to leasing deals for a variety of credit scenarios ranging fromA to C credit quality. Leasing provides known payments over aspecified period – helping take the guesswork out of budgeting.

And because many Dominion Lending Centres Leasing expertsare also licensed mortgage agents, they can offer standardequipment leases and creatively structured solutions forseasonal, new or growing companies. Working with someonewho is both a lease and mortgage expert enables businessowners to even use commercial and residential mortgage andproperty credit line products, alone or in combination with leasefinancing, to help achieve the best solutions for their equipmentacquisition needs.

Dominion Lending Centres Leasing experts can even break uplarge-dollar transactions into multiple leases across a number offunders to ease and simplify the approval process.

As with any licensed mortgage agent who is also a leasingprofessional, they work for business owners and consumers – not lenders – ensuring allefforts are made to acquire the best available products and rates with their clients’interests front and center.

I made up this recipe for meatball subs 2 years agoalmost to the day. I made my own home-made sub bunsby using my bread machine to mix and knead the dough.Then I took the dough out and shaped it into about 9 or10 sub buns. As they were rising, I prepared and cookedthe meatballs. Once they were made, I sauteed onions and sweet red and yellow peppers to top the meatballs in thesub buns. Everything turned out really well. You will enjoy this recipe.

THE MEATBALLS:This recipe makes 48 - 1-3/4" meatballs. Freeze any extras. They will always be handy for another meal2 lb. lean ground beef (use our local, good Stormont lean ground beef, found at my store, Sharyn's Pantry)

3 eggs, beaten lightly2 tbsp. grainy or smooth Dijon mustard2/3 cup breadcrumbs (right in the measuring cup, add enough milk to bring the level up to 1 cup)2 tbsp. horseradish2 tbsp. minced garlic

METHOD:-Place the ground beef in a large mixing bowl. Add the beaten eggs, breadcrumbs and milk mixture, horseradish, garlic, minced parsley,Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper and the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well. I use my hands to do this.-To make the meatballs, lay a sheet of waxed paper on your counter. Pat out the meat mixture into the shape of a rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cuton the grid, horizontally and vertically to resemble graph paper, measuring each square into about 1-3/4". This way, when you pull off a chunk ofmeatball mixture, each ball will be the same size. It goes so quickly this way. - Once you have done this, saute the meatballs in a non-stick frying pan at only medium heat until the meatballs are browned on all sides and thereis no pink remaining in the centers.

THE TOPPINGS:4 yellow onions, sliced in half lengthwise, then into strips1 sweet red pepper, seeded and sliced into strips1 yellow pepper, seeded and sliced into strips2 tbsp. olive oil

CHIA SEEDS AND WHOLE - WHEAT SUB BUNSUse your bread machine on the dough cycle. Once completed, just take the dough and shape it into 9 or 10 sub buns. Place the buns on aparchment -lined tray and allow them to rise in a warm, draft-free area, until double in size. Bake the risen buns in a 350 degree F. oven for about12 to 15 minutes until the buns are lightly browned.

INGREDIENTS:1- 1/4 cups warm water (I use my potato water, saved from cooking a potful ofpotatoes, just keep it refrigerated until ready to use, and heat it in yourmicrowave until lukewarm. The potato water is full of nutrients from thepotatoes and it makes the buns more moist and tender. 2 eggs2 tbsp. granulated lecithin (we sell this. Use it in place of any fat in your breadrecipe with amazing results.

It gives the bread a very fine crumb and tenderness)1- 1/2 tsp. fine salt2 tbsp. sugar4 cups Sharyn's Pantry whole wheat flour for bread making (see thedifference!)1/4 cup chia seeds (we sell these nutritious seeds)1- 1/2 tsp. instant bread machine yeast

If I had a nickel for every time someone askedme what my favorite movie was I wouldprobably have enough money to build myown movie theatre. Trying to narrow all themovies I enjoy down to one would be analmost impossible task. So for my nextreview I’ll list my top 10 movies. For thisweek however, I want to tell you how I got“Taken” at the movies when I spent moneyon a terrible film.

I was asked to go see Taken 2 by a friend of mine who really wantedto see it. Now I enjoyed Taken, as I thought Liam Neeson runningaround Europe kicking ass was great. Liam Neeson has been in somegreat movies over the last 20 years, and to see him as a Bond-typeaction star was great. So I figured, Taken 2 would probably havesome similarities with some new twists and perhaps better action.Wow was I wrong!

First off the film is directed by Olivier Megaton. What a cool name foran action director! Too bad it’s not his real last name. He changed itas he was born on the 20th anniversary of the dropping of the bombon Hiroshima. But I enjoyed Columbiana, which he also directed, soI figured I’d give this a shot.

Where do I start? This time around Bryan Mills (Neeson) and his ex-wife Lenore(Famke Jansen) are kidnapped by the father of one of the men who kidnappedhis daughter in the first Taken, whom Mills killed. Totally plausible, just not allthat likely, but let’s continue.

So this time around it’s up to Mills’ 110-pound-daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace),to rescue them in the most unconventional way possible (I’ll get to that).

Taken 2 takes place in Istanbul, where Mills and his crack team of ex-CIAoperatives, have just finished a week acting as private security detail forsomeone important, and now Mills is hoping his ex-wife and daughter will flyto meet him for a vacation.

Now in the first Taken, which in the movie timeline is only a year prior, Kimflew to Paris with some girlfriends and gets kidnapped to be sold intoprostitution.

So Lenore and Kim travel to Istanbul and surprise Mills in the lobby. Of courseearlier in the film we learn that Mills has installed a GPS locator in Kim’s phone,so it is doubtful he wouldn’t have known, however, perhaps he was busy.

Very quickly we find out that Kim is trying to get Mom and Dad back together.She sends them off to lunch and on the way there, they are taken. Then Millsdoes what all ex-CIA operatives would do; he calls his 110-pound-daughter tocome rescue him.

He instructs her to take a grenade from the case in his room and throw it outthe window (somewhere safe, of course) so he can hear how far away she is.She then runs out of the room in a bikini and shirt, steals clothes from a locker(including shoes that fit), takes a cab to a spot Dad thinks is close and thenruns out of the cab without paying. Bryan instructs her to make her way tobuilding roof tops to set off more grenades. Istanbul apparently has no realpolicy on grenades going off in the middle of the day.

The action scenes are all sped up, Neeson isn’t the fit killing machine he was inthe first Taken, and in the end they all die…the bad guys of course. Had I notbeen with friends who wanted to see it, I would have walked out after the firstgrenade went off! Luckily Skyfall comes out this week.

Testing the Waters ofChangeAs you get older andmore set in your ways,testing the waters ofnew ideas becomes

harder to do. When you are a young(or young at heart) artist trial and error is thenatural way to find your voice but after we findthat style or approach to our craft changing itbecomes a real challenge.

First of all why would we want to change, after allthis style of doing things may be working verywell for us and the old saying “If it ain’t broke…”would seem to apply. The problem with doingthings the same way all the time is it loses itsfreshness and soon becomes same old, same oldand often we lose our original excitement offinally finding that voice. The result of this is thatour work shows it. Often it is the reason for the dreaded“Creative Block” that plagues all artists from time to time intheir careers. If you have ever experienced this block then youknow how depressing this can be.

The main reason we resist change when our artistic style isworking for us is our audience. They came to admire and loveyou when you started to produce a certain quality of work andwe are deeply afraid that if we change they will stop. Artistsalso are supported not to change by the people who sell theirart, music or writings; they want to have a consistent productto have available and if we are afraid people will stop lovingwhat we do, they are terrified. You may have become a nicelittle cash cow for them and they don’t want to risk losing that.

So what is an artist to do? Remember one important factor,why are you doing this? Why would you spend your energy ona career that is difficult to reach success at when you couldhave been a Lawyer or Accountant? You know why. Your soulwas dying when you weren’t making your art. So the realquestion becomes why you would risk everything on makingit in this business only to become what you were afraid ofbecoming in the first place, a soul less automaton?

The only way you will know if you have reached as far as youcan go (which is pretty much impossible in our business) is ifyou go back to testing the waters. Go back to the days of selfdiscovery and see if with all that you know now if you can takeit to a new and exciting next level. Remember when youweren’t afraid to experiment with the possibilities of creatingand see what you can come up with now, good, bad orindifferent. This is also a brilliant way to take a mediocre careerthat is neither successful nor unsuccessful and breathe a littleexcitement into it.

Be willing to fail and you will move forward because as a very smartperson said, who I have no idea who they are, “We learn from ourfailures more than we ever learn from our Successes” I think it wasHenry Ford.

Feel the fear and try it anyway; you just never know!

Passion for NHL is gone – for nowI’m as passionate about hockey as anyone you will evermeet. So, there’s got to be something wrong when there’san exhibition game in my hometown, and I don’t evenwant to be in attendance, right?

Well last Monday, more than 4,000 local hockey fansjammed into the Ed Lumley Arena to watch OttawaSenators captain Daniel Alfredsson, MontrealCanadiens captain Brian Gionta and other professionals

display their skills in person.

It was a very rare opportunity to see NHL players skate at the Civic Complex. Theprice was right (only $10) and it was for a great charity. Yet, I didn’t want to bethere; I chose to stay home and watch Monday Night Football.

My heart just wasn’t in it. That’s what this current NHL lockout has done to me. I’ma ticked-off fan, who won’t be taking in live NHL action for a little while anyway.Sure, I’ll watch on TV when it returns and I do miss my morning highlights on TSN.But that passion – at least for the time being – is gone.

But Gary Bettman and the NHL owners know that when a new CBA deal isreached, the fans will come back. Eventually, we all do. And hockey lovers inCornwall sure proved that this past week.

ALFIE, WE’RE A FAN OF U2: It wasn’t Alfredsson’s first visit to the Seaway City. TheSens captain apparently bought his dog here in Cornwall seven years ago. Alfie isa fan of Cornwall for that reason. His dog’s name, according to Don Brennan of theOttawa Sun, is Bono.

STAT DU JOUR: I’m not siding with the NHLPA here by any means, but non-superstars in the NHL do have to plan for the future: The average NHL player plays

5.6 seasons and only 47.5% of all players play three seasons or less. Of course, we all knowthe lockout isn’t about the average Joe.

I DON`T THINK SO TIM: I can tell you one hockey player who wasn’t happy with the U.S.election results: Tim Thomas.

nRIVER KINGS ROUNDUP: After drawing more than 7,500 fans in their firsttwo home games, the Cornwall River Kings look to gain back somemomentum this weekend. The River Kings did pick up a big win lastSaturday in Saint-George, but Cornwall fans haven’t seen their team on theice since they were outplayed by possibly the best team in the leagueduring their last home game – a 4-1 loss to Jonquiere on Oct. 27. It won’t bean easy weekend for the River Kings, who have a home-and-home withThetford-Mines, the team that beat them in last year’s league final. Cornwall(3-2-0) visits Thetford (4-1-1) on Friday night and the two teams meet againon Sunday afternoon at the Civic Complex. Game time is 2:30 p.m.

SWAMP DEBUT: The Swamp will make its debut at the Civic Complex thisweekend. The entire west end of the arena will have alcoholic beverages onsale during the River Kings game. I’m sure this section will be a huge hit onSaturday night’s at the Ed, but you can still enjoy a cold one on a Sundayafternoon, too.

DANNICK’S A FIGHTER: Dannick Lessard is still in hospital recovering fromgun-shot wounds. A suspect has been arrested in connection with theshooting of the River Kings enforcer. Multiple surgeries on Lessard’s arm willbe needed.

STILL A REBEL: At this point, it doesn’t appear former Cornwall Colt ConnorPrimeau will be skating with the Smiths Falls Bears (Primeau was dealt therelast month). Primeau appears to have settled in quite nicely with the Char-Lan Jr. B Rebels, who lead the St. Lawrence Division. Still, Smiths Falls hasthe CCHL’s best record heading into the weekend at 16-6-0-1.

GOOD BREAKUP: I know it’s only the halfway point of the season, but if theNFL playoffs were to begin today, both the Indianapolis Colts and DenverBroncos would qualify for the post-season. The rebuilding Colts (5-3), led byrookie QB Andrew Luck, continue to overachieve. Last weekend, Luck threwa rookie-record 433 yards in a win over Miami. Meanwhile, Peyton Manningand the Broncos lead the AFC West (also with a 5-3 record). Sometimes,break ups work out well for both parties.

A weekly look at racing from both sides ofthe 1000 IslandsWith racing in our area now over for another season, Cornwall MotorSpeedway would like to reflect on our season, and give recognition toall of our great champions. We also want to thank all our fans,sponsors, employees, volunteers, teams and drivers for supportingCornwall Motor Speedway, and we look forward to returning foranother season in May of 2013.

A lot of early season hype surrounded the off-season announcement thatthe World of Outlaw Late Models and World of Outlaw Sprint Cars would both be on the 2012schedule. There was plenty of disappointment when the Late Model race was cancelled due torain, but the World of Outlaw Sprint cars came into Cornwall for the first time and put on aspectacular event in late July that awed the capacity crowd. The 2012 schedule was packed withother special events, including the three race Canadian Nationals Series for the 358 Modifieds,in which two of those races also doubled as Mr. DIRTcar Series events. The Pro Stocks andSportsman also had Mr. DIRTcar events, as well as the Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series.

Dale Planck, from Homer, New York took the overall track championship in the 358 ModifiedDivision and also claimed the Canadian Nationals Series title for the first time in his career. Notto be outdone, Chris Herbison also claimed multiple titles, winning the Sportsman trackchampionship for the second year in a row, and also winning the inaugural St. Lawrence SeawaySportsman championship. Joey Ladouceur has been dominant in the Pro Stock division for along time, and recently announced his move to the Sportsman division for 2013, but not beforewinning yet another Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock championship, the Mr. DIRTcar Pro StockChampionship and the Mohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series title. Benoit Dubois was this year’sSemi Pro Champion while Martin Bernard captured the Mini Stock crown.

Although DalePlanck won two

championships this season,he certainly had to fight for itover the final few weeks, asfive drivers entered the finaltwo weeks of the season witha shot at the overall trackchampionship. His win,under immense pressure onthe final night of the seasonproved to be the differencein the overall championshipbattle and the CanadianNationals Series. LaurentLadouceur, Chris Raabe, JoelDoiron and Planck’steammate/car owner Carey Terrance all finished in the top five in track points while Danny O’Brien andTerrance again chased Planck in the Canadian Nationals.

Chris Herbison had a tremendous season in 2011 and came back even stronger in 2012. His success didn’tcome easy though, as he battled Sportsman rookie Corey Wheeler over the final few weeks of the year.Wheeler, who had graduated from the Pro Stock division, had a very impressive rookie season with a pairof feature wins. Ryan Arbuthnot, Dan Jalbert and Louis Jackson Jr. finished amongst the top five inSportsman points.

There hasn’t been a more dominant driver in any division over the past decade than Joey Ladouceur in thePro Stock division. He had three feature wins in 2012 and his consistency was unprecedented, with aseason low finish of eighth. Ladouceur won his sixth Cornwall Speedway Pro Stock Championship overRyan Stabler, Ghislain Valade, George Renaud and Dion Oakes. Ladouceur also claimed his ninth careerMohawk Racing Parts Pro Stock Series. He leaves the Pro Stock division as the winningest driver in all ofDIRTcar Pro Stock competition.

Benoit Dubois had a strong season in the Semi Pro division earning the top honors over Joey Woods,Junior Delormier, Michael McCargar and Derek Cryderman.

Martin Bernard’s first season at Cornwall Speedway in the Mini Stock division proved successful, claimingthe track championship by just four points over Mathieu Aubin. Justin Derosiers, Jamie McKee and JoelPilon also had fantastic seasons, finishing the year among the top five in points.

2013 will surely be an exciting year as well. Stay tuned for off-season news and announcements. Thebanquet for the 2012 season will he held in the Spring, with date and location to be announced after thenew year.

SEEKING SPORTSAnd youthought beingmiserablewas hard work!The name of my columncame from anobservation that somebelieve happiness issome sort of target or

destination that they are due to arrive at afterhaving suffered through a lifetime of hardship. Likereceiving a gold watch at the close of a life-longcareer, you go up to the podium and with ahandshake you receive your hard-earned badge.

“Here you go (slap on the back). Glad you hung inthere! Here is your HAPPY!”

Happiness is not a journey’s end. It can be acontinuous state of being. It also takes practice.

Yes, I said practice.

This past week, my daughter and I were discussingthe recent hurricane and how Haiti got slammedagain after just having dealt with a majorearthquake a couple of years ago. We ventured ontoa few online news sites to survey the damage.

When we came across photos of some of the poorerchildren living in Haiti, my daughter was shocked. “Why arethey smiling, Mom? They still look so happy.”

“Because they know what’s important,” I answered.

I wasn’t sure if the photos were even recent, but it was agreat opportunity to make a point - that happiness is beinggrateful for what you have in front of you and not lookingoutside yourself to find it.

When I eat chocolate, I am happy. When I watch an episodeof Big Bang Theory and find myself laughing very loudly, Iam happy. But when my satellite dish goes out in the middleof that same show, my happiness quickly turns sour.

So, how do we keep the happy feeling going?

If we know how to make ourselves happy on the short term,how do we prolong it? How do we not fall victim to the “I’mnot complete without” and “I don’t have enough” externalmessages shoved down our throats every time we flipthrough a magazine, turn on a television or pass a billboard?

Once you stop looking outwardly and turn your focusinward, you can see yourself and your life for its true value.Remind yourself daily of EVERYTHING you are grateful for.Say them out loud! Focusing on all the good in your lifeallows joy to replace dissatisfaction. Your internal “I’m not”and “I don’t” messages have to be boldly replaced with “IAM”s and “I WILL”s.

I won’t lie, it takes practice. It takes constant, daily remindersuntil it becomes habit. When I slip, I have to remind myselfof how blessed I am, how far I’ve come, or I go sneak a peekat my beautiful child asleep in her bed. Find what snaps youback and use it!

So, if you are still looking for happy - don’t get discouragedand don’t go too far. Happy is much closer than you think.

Hockey Night in CornwallArticle and Photos by Jason Setnyk

Despite the lockout, over 4800 hockey fans still got a taste of NHL actionat the Cornwall Civic Complex! A group of NHL players were in Cornwall,Ontario on Monday night for a charity hockey game to benefit theCornwall Chapter of the Max Keeping Foundation and First Assist, acharity that funds programs to benefit First Nations youth in fly-incommunities. Many stars were on hand including long-time OttawaSenator's captain Daniel Alfredsson, who was clearly a crowd favourite -

Alfie chants echoed through thearena. The game started a fewminutes late because a fewHabs players were stuck intraffic, however there were nocomplaints from the crowd, excited to seesome great hockey action!

Several Cornwall locals participated in thegame in one capacity or another. VanessaRegnier did a tremendous job singing OCanada. Former NHL Referee and currentCornwall Mayor Bob Kilger, along with Gilles

Latour dropped the puck at the ceremonial puck drop before the game. Gilles Latour ofthe Latour Financial Group is a huge supporter of the Max Keeping Foundation. Thehighlight though was when the young Cornwall Peewee hockey players took the ice duringthe first intermission to play against the NHL players - a once-in-a-lifetime experience!Chris Neil pretended to be rough-housing it with the youngsters, knocking their sticks outof their hands. Neil got mauled at the end of the impromptu mini-game by a dozenPeewee hockey players who dropped the gloves and went after the Ottawa Senator'senforcer. This was perhaps the most excitement during the entire game.

With nine players on each team, the game was played at a slower pace than a regular NHLgame, however there were still lots of great passes and fantastic scoring. Playing Mondaynight were Chris Neil, Chris Philips, Zach Smith, Guillaume Latendresse, Jesse Winchester,Brian Gionta, Stephen Gionta, Josh Gorges, Travis Moen, Derick Brassard, Tyler Kennedy,Daniel Alfredsson and many others. For those keeping score, Daniel Alfredsson’s WhiteTeam defeated Jesse Winchester’s Black Team by a mark of 13 to 9. The first star with aseven-point night was Guillaume Latendresse, the second star of the night was Zach

Smith, and the third star wasformer CornwallColt's player andOttawa SenatorJesse Winchester -who received ahuge ovation fromthe crowd. Afterthe hockey game,fans had a chanceto get autographsfrom theirfavourite stars inthe salons of theSports Hall ofFame.

Leave Your Mark When you move awayfrom your hometown, itleaves a void. As excitingas adventures in a newcity are, there is also a loss

of what is familiar, and the regular contact withfamily and friends. Last week, my son Brad and Ireturned to Cornwall for the day, to participate inthe Trunk Sale and Pamper Me Party to supportMS. It meant a total driving time of 8 hoursduring the weekend, but it was worth it.

Brad was an exhibitor last year, and we hadplanned to have his book available, but due toprinter delays, it was not. This year we were notsure we could attend. Brad had just finishedreading week and had lots of assignments due. Iwas in the middle of three back-to-back events atthree campuses, and my friend Kim had gotten ustickets to see ZZ Top the Saturday night inKingston before the trunk sale, so the timing wasnot ideal.

In the end, we made it work. We left early Sundaymorning, packed up his books, bookmarks andsome essentials to create his booth space.Unfortunately we did forget to bring extra warmclothes or coats - which we ended up regretting -but all in all we made it, about 35 minutes beforethe doors opened. Yes, we cut it close, but in notime, his books and bookmarks were displayedand we were ready for the day.

Brad had similar fears as I did; he is away studying in Belleville, andwondered how people would react to him being part of the show. Inno time we both knew. People stopped by to say hi, asked howschool was, how his second book was coming along and he also wasintroduced to new people. In the end he sold many books andbookmarks, and renewed connections with his Cornwall friends.

As for me, I was along as the driver and occasional cashier. I traveledfrom booth to booth to say hello to friends I have not seen lately. Ihave to be honest, with the move, I questioned whether or not Ishould continue my KrisCrossRoads column. After all, I did move,and last week due to illness and an extremely busy schedule, Imissed my deadline and couldn’t submit a column. I received myanswer at the Trunk Sale when several people stopped by,recognized me and told me that they had missed my column lastweek, and that they enjoyed reading it and could relate to what Iwrote. It gave me the validation that I should continue. It issomething I enjoy doing and it does keep me in touch with thecommunity I love so much.

Even though my house is now sold in Cornwall, and new owners willtake possession at the end of the month, I know that both Brad andI will return frequently to our roots, and the time we will spend inCornwall will be precious. On the drive back to my place, Bradmentioned how much he missed his Cornwall friends and I agree.Thanks to Facebook, we keep in touch and know what is going on,I still go to Cornwall for both work and personal reasons.We left our mark on our hometown - that is apparent - but moreimportantly, Cornwall left its mark on us.
