Arts and Culture NewsArt Council elected at Arts and

Culture Summit! Bruce Davis posted

on the SD&G Culture Facebook page:

Congratulations to SDG Cornwall &

Akwesasne's Art Council - Stephen

Davies, Jason Setnyk, Ann Brady,

Amanda Marini Rhode, Sandra

Vander Veer, Marie Morrell, Charlotte

King, Carolyn Davis, Richard Salem, Betty Healey,

Noella Cotnam, Chuck LeClair, and Dan Archambault. The

with local arts, as visual artists brought their own art to display

at the summit. The outside of the theatre also received a bit of

a signage face-lift and looks fantastic. Guest Speakers included

Esther Bryan (Artist/Quilt of Belonging), Loree Lawrence

(Ontario Arts Council Community and Multidisciplinary Arts

Officer), and Carol Feeney (Executive Director of Quinte Arts

Council). The event was MC'd by Graham Greer. Two City

Councillors were in attendance from start to finish: Bernadette

Happenings around Cornwall!Special edition of Wild Country 96.5's Drew Scott Morning

Show is Saturday, September 29 at the Cornwall Square!

Join us at Centre Court for a Special Edition of The Drew Scott

Morning Show with Celebrity Guests CMT's Samantha

Stephens and Country Music Artist Greg Hanna. Join Drew and

Samantha for all the news and the dish about your favourite

country stars between 8:00 am and 11:00 am. We are thrilled to

announce that Country Recording Artist Greg Hanna will

perform following the live radio remote. Samantha

Stephens is happy to call Nashville, Tennessee home and finds

peace in her deep country roots. Samantha is a singer, songwriter

and CMT host. Samantha has interviewed the biggest country stars

on the red carpet and likes to share the inside scoop every weekday

morning on Wild Country 96.5. Drew Scott started in radio when he

was 16 and is originally from Florida. Drew moved to New York in

2000. In addition to mornings on Wild Country 96.5, Drew is the

the Corporate Program Director for various radio stations within

Martz Communication Group Inc. Drew entertains his audience

every weekday morning on The Drew Scott Morning Show on Wild

Country 96.5. When Greg Hanna sings about hopping down off of

the tractor after a long, hot day in the sun on the farm, it’s not just

a line in one of his songs - it’s a scene from his life and the very

essence of who he really is. The Eastern Ontario native grew up on

a dairy farm, and is just as happy fixing fence or milking cows as

he is performing on stage in front of thousands of screaming

fans. And the songs on Greg’s new self-titled album aren’t just

products of his immense talent, they’re also a glimpse into his

very soul – little snippets of his life, painstakingly sewn into an

audio patchwork. Greg is a "Good Ol' Boy", better known as a

"Northern Hillbilly". Growing up in a small farming town, and

having been raised as a dairy farmer, Hanna knows the "work

hard - party hard" mentality first hand, and shows it on the stage

as he always gives 110%. "I love to entertain and make people

smile!", he says. "When I get off the stage, everyone is havin' a

party!" His high energy show is one everyone should experience

as Greg works his way up through the ranks of Country Music.

Raise Your "Awareness" ofBenefits of Life Insurance

September is Life Insurance Awareness Month

in the U.S. When you consider the benefits you

and your family may receive from lifeinsurance, you might agree that Canadashould also have a month focused on thisimportant part of your overall financialpicture.

According to the 2012 Insurance Barometer Study, published by the

non-profit LIFE Foundation and LIMRA, a research and consulting

organization that specializes globally in insurance and financial services,

too many North Americans are uninsured or under-insured. In fact,

nearly a third of all consumers think they need more life insurance. And

it appears that one of the main reasons so many people lack sufficient

life insurance is their perception that they can’t afford it. Yet, the cost for

basic term life insurance has fallen by about 50 percent over the past 10

years, according to the LIFE Foundation.

The cost — financial, emotional and psychological — of not having

adequate life insurance certainly outweighs the expense of carrying the

proper coverage. You’ll hear about many things that are designed to “last

a lifetime,” but in the case of life insurance, that expression is

appropriate. Consider the various times in which you should look at the

need for life insurance:

When you’re married — Many married couples assume they won’t

need life insurance until they have children. But if you or your spouse

died, would the surviving spouse’s income be sufficient to pay off the

mortgage, or even the rent? How about credit card balances, car loans

or student loans?

When you’re married…with young kids — Now, in addition to having to

pay off the mortgage if anything should happen to you, your surviving

Financially Speaking with Brian Seguin

spouse will have to find the money to educate your children — and that’s a big

challenge, given the rapidly escalating expenses associated with post-

secondary education. But with sufficient life insurance in place, your spouse can

deal with the high costs of higher education. Furthermore, if you have

permanent life insurance, such as whole life or universal life, you have the

potential to build cash value, which you may be able to tap to help pay for

school — while you’re still alive. (Keep in mind, though, that using some of your

cash value could lower your policy’s death benefit.)

When your children are grown — Even with your children grown and gone,

you can benefit from life insurance. For example, if your spouse outlives you by

a decade or more, will he or she have enough money to enjoy a comfortable

lifestyle?

When you’re retired —Your need for life insurance doesn’t retire when you do.

For one thing, you may be able to access the cash value of your permanent

insurance to help meet your retirement expenses. (Keep in mind this may affect

your death benefit.) And your policy’s death benefit could help your children or

other heirs deal with estate taxes, if any exist. Furthermore, if you’d like to be

able to pass on something to your children or grandchildren, life insurance may

be an ideal vehicle, because the proceeds are typically income tax free and can

avoid the time-consuming process of probate.

Life insurance can offer a lifetime of benefits. So make sure you get the

coverage you need.

Insurance and annuities are offered by Edward Jones Insurance Agency (except

in Quebec). In Quebec, insurance and annuities are offered by Edward Jones

Insurance Agency (Quebec) Inc.

The Seeker Chicks are excited to welcome

our newest writer, Film maker John Earlewho will be doing our movie reviews everytwo weeks. Happy to have you on theSeeker Team John!

Hysteria! No that’s not what I’m suffering from, but it

is the title of the film I was fortunate enough to see at

the kick-off of the Aultsville Wednesday night movie

series this past week. I was very excited to see this particular film because of

“all the buzz”. OK, that was in poor taste, but it’s not often you get to enjoy the

history of the vibrator and Maggie Gyllenhaal on a 50-foot screen.

The film is a period comedy. Yes I said period comedy. Now don’t get me

wrong, I enjoy a period comedy just as much as the next person. Who can

forget the timeless classic line, “Stay classy San Diego” from Will Ferrell’s Ron

Burgundy character in 2004’s Anchorman? Not a Ferrell fan? How about the

witty repartee of Gene Wilder in The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter

Brother?

Wait a minute, I was talking about something wasn’t I? Oh yes. Victorian

women on the verge of HYSTERIA!

Hysteria (Rated R) is set in 1880s London at a time when the world is coming

out of the dark ages of medicine. The young Dr. Mortimer Granville (Hugh

Dancy) is struggling to find his way in the world of leeches, bleedings, tonics

and pills for just about whatever ails you, from gangrene to gall stones. Unable to

continue with this barbaric way of treatment, he’s cast out into the street.

Eventually he finds himself in the office of Dr. Robert Dalrymple (Jonathan Pryce), a

successful doctor who has found a successful way to treat female hysteria; pelvic

massage. Granville quickly gains employment at the private practice after a slew of

rejections across London.

As you may imagine the film quickly has you rolling in the aisles as soon as the first

London socialite has her legs in the stirrups.

The recreation of 1880s London is magnificent. The imagery of Victorian London and

the costumes are sensational. I quickly found myself wanting to dress in a top hat and

tails as I reached for my next handful of popcorn.

The female leads in the film are extreme opposites, and for me, their portrayal of these

women was one of the wonderful aspects of the film. Emily Dalrymple (Felicity Jones)

is the portrait of proper English etiquette, while her sister Charlotte (Gyllenhaal) is a

modern London woman fighting for women’s right to education and to escape the

drudgeries of everyday life. Charlotte self-sacrifices almost everything to help the

less-fortunate who frequent the settlement house she runs in London’s east end.

The young and dashing Granville is shocked by his new employers’ daughter, and yet

strangely, you get the sense that even while engaged to her sister Emily, he is drawn

to Charlotte’s passion.

Rupert Everett rounds off the cast as Edmund St. John-Smythe, a wealthy eccentric

friend of Granville’s, whose curiosity for modern inventions - such as the telephone

and all things electric - are what lead Granville on his discovery of the vibrating

electro-massager.

The film is a delightful light-hearted comedy that I would recommend to anyone

who’s looking for something fresh, funny, and charged with the electricity to get the

job done!

le It takes courage to speak up, to saysomething that may potentiallyoffend people. Yet I am fired up. Ineed to take a stand. I need to tellpeople that I think men will neverbe objectified to the level thatwomen are. Whoa. Hold the phone.Really, in this day and age, aren’twomen participating on the sameplaying field?

Don’t believe me?

I dare you to do this. Go to the Internet and Google-searchimages “GQ Man of the Year”. Then Google images “GQWoman of the Year”. Do it! Notice anything different?Seriously, it seems to me that the men are honouredenough to get clothes, like pristine suits and gorgeous ties.Yet, Lana Del Rey, GQ Woman of the Year is sporting …diamonds. That’s it. This irks me to the ninth degree.

And, despite that she may be a great musician, this spreadhas no basis for convincing me that a naked woman - aPhotoshopped doll no doubt - is the intended “Woman ofthe Year” for other women to look up to. I can safelyassume that this cover was to generate publicity for themagazine.

Why is that? One could say purely for profit. The advertisingbusiness has been manipulating, objectifying and degradingwomen for ages. Putting a touched-up, unrealistic photo on afamous magazine will no doubt cause women to take pause andreflect on their own bodies.

Think about it. If we were manipulated to love our bodies, to respectourselves, get paid the same as our male counterparts and weretold that aging was a natural progression to our authentic andsoulful selves, do you honestly think we would be buying $45.00bottles of eye creams by the dozen? Five different anti-wrinklecreams that tell us we need to erase, erase, erase those awful,repulsive lines? Spending hundreds of dollars coloring our hair,making sure that we cull every grey that comes our way?

Hmmmmm...probably not. I am not even going to touch cosmeticsurgery and the like. However, as women in the media areconstantly being told that “being young” is desirable, we know thatit facilitates the multibillion-dollar sales of anti-aging cosmetics,creams and plastic surgery. And if we believe everything in themedia, it would appear that 51% of the population is definitely in“need of fixing”. Wow, what a sure-fire way to get rich!

The reality is, we cannot change the multi-national corporationsand their skewed portrayal of women, we can only change the waywe view ourselves. A bigger concern for me is not with theadvertisers - they are doing this to gain maximum profit - but withthe women who are allowing themselves to be photographed inthis way to begin with. It truly disquiets my mind.

Sanctuary in Morrisburg (next toUpper Canada Village), Cooper

Marsh (near Lancaster), or Gray’s Creek.

Then there is always the beautiful Gatineau Park or the

Laurentians . We need to take advantage of this amazing color-changing

time of year.

Let’s not forget the delicious apples in our area as well. You can purchase freshly

picked apples at Marlin’s Orchard on Highway 2, as well as at Avonmore Berry Farm

on Avonmore Rd. I decided this week that I would focus on three awesome, natural,

healthy apple recipes. Easy and delicious!

APPLE CHIP RECIPE (makes 2 cups)INGREDIENTS2 large apples2 tbsp sugar1 tsp cinnamon

PREPARATION-Preheat oven to 200 F. Thinly slice apples crosswise about 1/8-inch (2 mm) thick

with a mandoline or sharp knife.-Arrange apple slices in a single layer on two parchment-lined rimmed baking

sheets. In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle evenly over apple

slices.-Bake in the top and bottom third of the oven until apples are dry and crisp, about

2 hours. Remove from oven and let ‘chips’ cool completely before transferring to a

sealed container for up to three days.

HOMEMADE MAPLE APPLESAUCE (refrigerate up to 2 weeks)INGREDIENTS6 tart apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces2 other sweet apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

PREPARATION-Combine apple pieces and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to

maintain a simmer.-Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the apples are very soft and falling apart, about

30 minutes. Mash the apples to the desired consistency and stir in maple syrup and

cinnamon.

HOMEMADE MAPLE APPLE CRISPINGREDIENTS6 cups cooking apples, sliced 1 tsp ground cinnamon1/2 tsp ground nutmeg2 tbsp pure maple syrup1 cup dried cranberries

PREPARATION-Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of 8 inch square pan.

-Spread apples in bottom of pan, sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top, drizzle with maple

syrup and add cranberries.-Mix remaining ingredients in bowl, until it is crumbled. Place on top of apples.

-Cook for 45 minutes. Serve hot or room temperature. Delicious served with plain organic

yogurt.

Come and better your lives from the inside out. Come live one of my healthy eating cooking

seminars, it will change your life for sure. You will learn how easy it is to prepare amazing,

delicious recipes for you and your family. I still have room for Saturday, November 10, 1:00 to

4 :00pm. Please let me know ASAP…thanks for putting yourself first!

PLEASE NOTE: Due to a strained back muscle, unfortunately I am unable to be at the

Farmers' Market tomorrow (Saturday, September 29). I hope to be returning on Saturday,

October 6 (the last Saturday of the market). So sorry for this inconvenience....life happens!

Naturally Delicious ... with the Hea

lth Nut For Now

The process of moving canmake everything seem sotemporary. I am in asituation where I technicallylive in two places.That means double theresponsibility, double theexpenses and double the

pressures. When I am in Kingston where Irecently moved, I feel guilty about what I have leftto do in Cornwall and what I am missing out on;when I am in Cornwall, I want to be in Kingstonsetting up my new place and getting to know mynew surroundings. It also means I use “for now” alot more than I usually do.

Most of my furniture is gone in Cornwall, althoughI still prefer to stay there. Family and friends haveoffered to let me stay with them, but I prefer tostay in my own place. I have enough comforts tobe able to do so, I can tackle the last of the sortingand packing and for a little while I can enjoy all thenew renos.

The traveling between the two locations can be very tiringand it is almost four hours of unproductive time. For now, Imake the most of my time on the 401, I listen to music andknow that I have a destination to get to. I am very lucky thatfamily has pitched in and helped get the place ready, as wellas my ever-reliable handyman best friend.

The makeshift life between the two, means I make due withwhat I have. I finally picked up a microwave this week, andwhen I returned to Cornwall without any extras, I saw whatI had left. Unfortunately a comb and brush were missing,and after getting caught in the rain three times, it was lotsof fun. Luckily on last weekend’s visit I went to see myhairdresser Wendy and was very relieved to get a fresh cutand style.

Unfortunately visits were not on the agenda this pastweekend. There was too much left to do. The floors are nowdone, and so the plan is to remove what is left in the house.We still have so much stuff and it is really hard to gothrough. Part of me wants to hang on to what is left andpart of me wants to walk away. I told my friends it is likeboot camp for me. In a little over a month with very littlespare time, I had to - at a glance - decide what stays andwhat goes. My apartment was a new build so I didn’t see myplace until move-in day, so that made selections evenharder.

Overall I am pleased with what made the cut. I’m sure overthe course of the next few months, more will go, but fornow, I am deciding what fits in the new life and whatdoesn’t. The foosball table has to go as do most of the boardgames and loads of books. I am pleased that I was able todonate many of them to other book lovers. I hope to have ayard sale for some of the bigger items. My family inheritedmany of my treasures, and my niece and nephew ages 5 and9, felt like they had Christmas in September when theywalked through the room we dubbed "the toy room". Bradleft it unsorted towards the end, and so they selected theirfavourites and made several trips to load up Grandma’s car.

For now, I will enjoy both times; when I am in Kingston I willlook forward to new beginnings and make my place myown, and when I am in Cornwall, I will be surrounded bywhat was, and will make that final push to finally release thepast. I look forward to the time when the visits to Cornwallwill be that; a time for catching up and reminiscing. But fornow, I will continue my double life and be grateful for thefamily and friends that make it a little bit easier.

WINNERS THIS WEEK

With the very busy lives we all live, by supper time, we are

beginning to fade just a bit. Having just a few recipes that don't

take long to prepare will make your life that much easier. By

planning ahead to have salad greens, fresh vegetables and some

source of protein (e.g. salmon, chicken, beef), already in your

fridge, you are on your way to an easy meal. No stopping after

work to pick up needed ingredients. Shop once a week, with

your menus in mind for at least the days which you will be out at work. Once home,for supper, begin preparing the item which

will take the longest. As that cooks, you can scrub and microwave potatoes or cook some rice in just a few minutes. Vegetables

such as beans, broccoli, cauliflower or carrots will steam in just about 5 minutes. If you make your own salad dressing, prepare

a triple recipe and keep the extra dressing in a mason jar in your fridge. Your salad will be ready in a jiffy. I am a great believer

in making extra portions of veggies to use in another meal. Extra main dish servings make great lunches for the next day.

Try my maple salmon for a real treat. As that cooked, I steamed broccoli and made a potful of jasmine rice. Supper was ready in less than 30 minutes.

MAPLE AND ORANGE SALMON FILET (serves 2)

Actually, I had no recipe for this, it just invented itself as I cooked. By

brushing the salmon with some Dijon mustard, it helps to keep the salmon

nice and moist. As the salmon cooks, make some jasmine rice and steam

some broccoli. Allow one salmon filet per person.

2 salmon filetsDijon mustardfreshly ground black pepper2 Mandarin oranges (or Clementines )

4 tbsp. pure maple syrup

METHOD:-With a piece of paper towel, pat both sides of the salmon dry.

-Rub some Dijon mustard over top, bottom and sides of the salmon

filets.-Season them with a little pepper.

-Heat one tsp. of olive oil in a heavy- bottomed frying pan. Sear the salmon on one side and

turn to sear the sides as well, for a minute. Then turn the salmon over.

-Zest one of the oranges, then squeeze the juice from both oranges over the salmon. Sprinkle with the orange zest.

-Drizzle them with the maple syrup and continue to cook the salmon over medium-low heat for about 7 or 8 minutes.

-The salmon will be lovely and moist, the orange juice and maple syrup will nicely glaze the salmon. This is really good and fast too!

Enjoy!

Mortgage Life Insurance ExplainedMortgage professionals can protect their clients’ families and theirhomes through a mortgage life insurance policy.

Mortgage life insurance is simply a life insurance policy on thehomeowner which will allow their family or dependants to pay offthe mortgage on their home should something tragic happen tothem. This is not to be confused with mortgage default insurance,which lenders require to cover their own assets if you have less than

20% equity in your home. Mortgage life insurance is meant to protect thefamily of a homeowner and not the mortgage lender itself.

While it is nice to think that if you were to pass away your mortgage would be paid off, is itreally necessary for you to pay for this service? If you already have an adequate amount of lifeinsurance then the answer might be no.

If you are the primary breadwinner in your home and your death would leave your familywithout the means to pay for the mortgage, then mortgage life insurance might be a goodoption.

When looking at mortgage life insurance policies, it’s important to know if the policy that youchoose is portable, and if it’s backed by a large organization. A mortgage professional willtake you through the ins-and-outs of mortgage life insurance. By evaluating what you reallyneed, and the differences in coverage and costs, you can make the best decisions for you andyour loved ones

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS

Visual Artists getting Paid,What a Concept.This past weekend I attended the Art Summit at the

Aultsville Theatre next to St. Lawrence College here in

town. The purpose of the Summit was to form an Arts

Council that would work on behalf of the Artists of

Cornwall and Region to help showcase and promote

the arts in our area. This is a win-win for both the

Artists and the City of Cornwall, not forgetting the benefits to all the

towns that make up our region. The artists win with the support they will be

receiving and the City and towns through the generation of tourist’s dollars

that will be attracted to see what we do. It is a long road from here to there

but at least we are starting the journey.

My only disappointment in the day was the poor turnout of Artists. The

Parade of Nations website has over 500 artists listed of all disciplines listed

but we had a little over a hundred artists show up to support the election of

the council. The actual number that ended up nominating and voting were

closer to 60 by the time we got to that part of the agenda. You can be sure

however that if any belly aching happens it will be coming from the people

who didn’t take part in the voting.

My real subject of my column is a topic that came up at the Summit and that

is about artists getting paid for what they do and in particular visual artists.

It’s amazing really when you think about it that although we create

something that has value we are rarely considered when it comes to being

paid for showing what we do. If concerts are being organized even for fund

raisers Musicians are often paid for their performances as well as allowed to

generate revenue from the sales of their CD music. If you want to download

or listen on the radio to music there is a royalty fee paid to the producers and

musicians for the privilege of listening to their creations. So why then is it not the

same for Visual Artists? When we show our final product of our creation we are often

charged for the privilege of exhibiting it either in exhibition fees or in high

commissions.

Video and film makers routinely charge admission fees to view their work and we

gladly pay them when we go to the cinema to watch the finished product. Theatre

people have the same arrangement so why not the visual arts? We are always

looking for a chance to be seen and go to several extremes to do so with Websites,

Artist run galleries, Festivals and Art Shows all of which cost the Artist several

hundred dollars to produce only to watch the masses file by, oohing and awing at

the work and most of the time leave and carry on with their day. The funny thing is

this has become so accepted that we don’t even question this process. Our creations

have taken the same status as a Flea Market, just something to do on a Sunday.

In order to find some solutions to this problem let’s look creatively at how we can Pay

the Visual Artist whether they sell the painting or not. Let’s pay them to set up their

work in a local Art in the Park venue, it doesn’t have to be a large amount but it

would give the artists some money for taking their time to participate instead of

charging them to be there. Art Fairs could only charge a small percentage on the

total sales for the day either by an honour system or central cash. After all we are

often at the mercy of poorly run organizations that don’t advertize the venue and we

go to the expense of paying an exhibition fee, getting there and very few people

show up. Rent or Lease art for decorating your restaurants or businesses and if

someone shows an interest in buying it the artist would replace the painting with

another and pay the owner a commission. All exhibitions should have a donation

box to be shared with the exhibiting artists for the pleasure of viewing their work

and show support. When it comes to charity events everyone wants artwork to

auction off so why not offer to pay the artist a portion of the final bid or even start

with that payment as a minimum bid with the balance of the proceeds going to the

charity.

I know it is a wild idea but we Visual Artists need to eat to and when you feed us,

we in turn feed your soul!

2012 ARTS & CULTURE SUMMITContinued from front cover

The SDG CFDC based on its research anddevelopment of how arts councils have beenformed in other regions in Ontario decided thatit was important to create a grass rootsmovement and have the arts and culture sectorvote on and interim Board of Directors. “This

Not now…Mommy’sbusy working out

Being a parent is a tough job, in the

best of circumstances. Being a

SINGLE parent is double duty.

It is a 24-hour job that really

should be performed by about

four individuals- four very strong,

resilient individuals. And yet, day after day, single moms

and dads manage to pull it off.

Just when you think the work is done for the day, and you’d

love to sit down and read a newspaper (a huge luxury in my

world), you remember about the trash that needs to be put

out, or the lunch that needs to be made.

I joke that I am a prisoner in my own home after 7 o’clock at

night, but the truth is, some days it is no laughing matter.

With the cost of a babysitter reaching almost minimum

wage, I tend to choose my nights out very carefully.

Parenting is generally known for its lack of predictability, so

forget about making solid dinner plans with your single

friends. Never gonna happen.

Many single parents suffer from a lack of social life or the

time and energy for hobbies and love relationships. With

school now back in session, my nights are rarely my own.

Feed the dog, feed the child. Walk the dog, bath the child.

Laundry, dishes and lunches out of the way. Do a last

minute email check and zzzzzzzzzz. Oh yeah….a workout.

How about I just lay here on the bed and close my eyes and

think about working out. Does that count?

Just like married people with children need to nurture their

relationship and not lose their sense of “couple-ness”, single

parents need to remember that being a martyr helps NO

ONE. Forgetting to take care of yourself will not benefit you

or your children. Moms often feel a sense of guilt about

taking time to do something for themselves, but parents

NEED this “downtime” to recharge our emotional batteries.

I tend to throw myself one-hundred percent into my work and family

life, forgetting to come up for air. I have to make a conscious effort to

meet my needs. Maintaining a good life/work balance is a constant

challenge.

I have been guilty of avoiding a social life because of fatigue.

Sometimes I have felt so many demands placed on me that just the

thought of one more exhausts me. I have realized, however, that

when I do make the time to have a dinner out or meet the girls for a

drink, that I go home feeling re-energized and content.

There may be grass to cut, a fence to fix, emails to return and laundry

to be done, but tonight, for everyone’s sake, I’m just going to close

my eyes and block it all out…..while I lay on the bed imagining myself

working out.

SEEKING SPORTS NEWS

A weekly look at racingfrom both sides of the1000 IslandsAs the summer officially came to an endthis past week, we prepare to enter intothe Fall season. This means that the biggerevents of the 2012 racing season are

upon us. Applefest Weekend at BrightonSpeedway was on my schedule this past weekend, with the much-anticipated arrival of the Mr. DIRTcar Sportsman Series on Fridaynight and the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified Series on Saturday night.

Despite a forecast that called for rain throughout the week for bothlast Friday and Saturday, Mother Nature proved that she was aracing fan in 2012 as Brighton Speedway ended their season atApplefest with no rainouts at all. Applefest Weekend proved to bea great event. Friday night’s show was highlighted by the DIRTcarSportsman with Cody McPherson inheriting the win after hisbrother got a flat tire with just three laps remaining. MartinPelletier finished in second with Chris Herbison, Gary Lindberg andJustin Sharp rounding out the top five. Another big moment onFriday night when local fan favorite April Wilson picked up her firstever win driving a Vintage Modified. It was certainly a fantasticmoment for the entire Wilson family.

After camping at Brighton on Friday night, and seeing it rain hardthrough the early morning hours, I was skeptical as to whether ornot Saturday night’s events would take place. The skies cleared

though, and the racing resumed for the second half of Applefest Weekend.Doug Anderson of Brighton took home the win in the 50 lap Pro Stockfeature, which was part of the Duel in the DIRT Series between the BrightonSpeedway Pro Stocks and the Merrittville Speedway Hoosier Stocks.Anderson won the race, but it was Merrittville’s Rob Murray claiming the Duelin the Dirt championship. The 358 Modified’s highlighted the show. It lookedlike Dale Planck was on his way to another series win, but with 13 lapsremaining, and riding around under caution, his right front shock broke offthe car - from contact with another car several laps earlier - and his chanceswere over. Mario Clair and Carey Terrance swapped the lead over theremaining laps with Clair picking up the win over Terrance, Travis Braun, MattWilliamson and Chad Chevalier.

This coming weekend will be the annual Outlaw 200 Weekend at FultonSpeedway with Sportsman highlighting Friday night’s show followed by theOutlaw 200 on Saturday. This race will then lead into Super DIRT Week whichbegins on Tuesday, October 2nd and runs through Sunday, October 7th.

Brockville Speedway is also gearing up for their 2012 season finale with the1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals on October 12th to the 14th.The Go Nuclear Late Model Series and Mr. DIRTcar Pro Stocks are on the cardfor Friday night. Saturday’s show consists of Sprint Cars, 358 Modifieds andthe TUSA Mod Lite Series, while Sunday’s program will be Big BlockModifieds, Sportsman and Street Stocks.

Finish Line Web Design is proud to announce that we are completely redoingthe Finish Line website. The launch of the new site should happen over thenext few days leading up to Super DIRT Week. The goal, as always since thebeginning of Finish Line Web Design in 2009, has been to be affordable forour clients, and to keep improving the services that we offer, and I feel wehave been doing that each year. Finish Line Web Design has also become adealer for Arizona Sport Shirts, so give us a call today if you need shirts foryour race team, business, event or organization. Keep checkingwww.finishlinewebdesign.ca for the new look website over the coming days.

lle River Kings impress in debut

As far as first impressions go, I don’t think theCornwall River Kings could have made a better one.

Cornwall’s newest hockey team played its firstexhibition game last Saturday in front of a decentcrowd of 1,617 at the Ed Lumley Arena. The hometeam skated away with an 8-4 victory in its first pre-season LNAH game.

Okay, it’s only one night and it’s only one game. But, even so, it’salready quite clear that this league is very different from the Senior AAleague the Comets played in a few years back.

There were many curious fans out on this night and they were treated tofast, hard-hitting hockey. In the LNAH, you won’t see three or four stagedfights at centre ice but you will see a good scrap or two on most nights. Onthis night, Anthony Pittarelli, listed at 5’9” and 175 lbs., won over the crowdwhen he was forced to drop the gloves with Sorel’s Adam Bourque, whoeasily had four inches on him. We’ll call it a draw, but Pittarelli drew cheerswhen he pinned Bourque.

Pittarelli, 24, also scored a beautiful short-handed, unassisted goal and setup Steve Simoes for the final goal of the night with a nifty pass: A GordieHowe hat trick for the unsigned Pittarelli. Head coach Al Wagar and GMWayne Veary took notice, no doubt, and I’m sure the gritty forward will beputting ink to paper very soon.

Meanwhile, the line of Shawn Collymore, Pierre-Luc Faubert and formerColts captain Darcy Findlay continued to impress. The trio, which wasformed at training camp, were factors every time they were on the ice.Collymore tallied twice in the first period alone and the line went on to

collect six points on the evening.

Former NHLers Eric Meloche and Yves Sarault weren’t even in the lineup for the RiverKings, who were also without Nicolas Corbeil and Nick Romano as well.

Cornwall visits Sorel on Friday night for their first exhibition game on the road andthey’re back on home ice next Saturday night (Oct. 6) when Trois-Rivieres comes totown. After a good first impression, even bigger crowds could be in store for the River Kings.

COLTS ROUNDUP: The Colts look to rebound tonight after a horrible weekend lastweek, when they gave up a total of 13 goals against in two losses. In both contests,Cornwall gave up the final four goals of the game. The Colts host the division-leadingCarleton Place Canadians this evening at the Civic Complex … At some point, headcoach Ian MacInnis will have to choose which goaltender will be his go-to-guy in thecrease. Cornwall is currently rotating between Matt Jenkins, James Edwardson andJordan Piccolino … Former Colts centre Connor Primeau is now skating with theChar-Lan Jr. B Rebels. Primeau, who parted ways with the Colts last month, has suitedup in all four games for the Rebels, who are off to a 3-1 start.

KENT A SURVIVOR: Jeff Kent, a five-time Major League Baseball all-star, is now acontestant on the CBS show Survivor. Kent, 44, was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jaysin 1989 and went on to play 17 seasons, collecting 2,461 career hits. Kent, who earnedapproximately $86 million during his career, is now competing for $1 million on thereality TV series.

PIPER’S POINT: It was nice to see Ricky Romero pick up his first win since June 22 onMonday night in Baltimore. Heading into this season, the Blue Jays looked solid withRomero as their ace but after the lefty went an incredible three months in betweenwins, there’s no way GM Alex Anthopolous can’t acquire a No. 1 starter this off-season,can he? It hasn’t helped that No. 2 man Brandon Morrow was injured for a goodchunk of the season either. As long as the Jays have mediocre pitching, they won’tcontend for a wild card position, let alone compete in the AL East.

Cornwall Woofestwill have aspecial guestvisiting usfrom Hudson, QC. Eleven-year-old Dylan Burdon is arock hunter, and has amassedquite an amazing rockcollection since he was sixyears old! “Rocks aren’tboring once you get to know them”, Dylanchuckles when he rattles on about the origin ofeach rock, and their usage in our everyday lives -from medicinal to industrial. Just listening to himis a discovery on its own, as his knowledge ofrocks explodes into great detail revealing hisobvious passion he has on the subject.

He gathers his rocks when he travels with Mom,Dad, and his older brother Jamie, from places likeAlberta, Nova Scotia, and Arizona to name a few.His collection is not limited by his travels, and ifhe is really pressed for a new gem, then he simplyorders it through the mail, and has done so fromas far away as Brazil, and Australia.

He may not have a pet dog, but he does have a“pet rock”, and that would be a hematite.Considering his collection of really good rocksspans beyond five hundred, picking one favouritestone is a tough decision. But since hematite hasmultiple applications and is connected to justabout everything on Earth, this makes it a perfectchoice out of shear interest alone…for now.

He has one mission at Cornwall Woofest, andthat’s to help people understand and rememberthe difference between a rock and a mineral.

Dylan will be showing his rock collectionfrom 1:30 – 3:00 pm.

QUIT SMOKING FOR GOOD

WORKSHOP COMING OCTOBER ...

Over the past 16 years, I've had many people come

through my doors for what you might expect. The list

includes sciatica, bursitis, arthritis and so on. Very few,

however are aware that "some" chiropractors also offer

services toward quitting smoking as well. This is typically done using Light

Amplification by Stimulation Emission of Radiation machine. Sounds fancy? Not

really! That's just the fancy definition of the acronym for "LASER" therapy. Lasers

have been around for much longer than most people think. Its what reads your

CDs, your DVDs, your laser printers, laser optics for your communication

needs...the list is endless. Lasers have even found themselves useful in the

operating room for brain surgery, eye and cataract surgery among so many

other fields within the health spectrum.

Now, its also been found that auriculotherapy (otherwise known as laser

therapy of the auricle) has up to 94% success in the cessation of smoking. This

therapy is similar yet different than accupuncture. Accupuncture uses needles

on pressure points of the ear concept whereas auriculotherapy uses electrical

impulses (via laser) on the outer aspect of the ear. Each pressure point is

stimulated for about 60 seconds and the entire procedure only takes about 1

hour. So the question becomes a simple one. How bad do you want to quit? Do SPIN

AL COLU

MN with Dr. Pa

ul Poirier

you have 1 hour in your "busy" lives to set aside toward resolving this

albatross you've carried around your neck for so long? If you answered

no then I suggest you stop reading this article. Many of you have tried

alternatives like nicotine laced gums, transdermal nicotine patches as

well as products like Champix and Zyban which have addictive qualities

to them yet you never get the problem resolved in any meaningful or

permanent way..

This is why I've decided to start up my monthly health workshops at the

Ramada Inn again starting with a crash course on laser therapy in

relation to the cessation of smoking. This workshop will be on Monday,

October 15th at 6 pm sharp so please call 613-936-1386 ASAP to

reserve your place as seating will be limited. You will learn the ropes of

exactly how laser therapy works to rid you from the shackles of the

cigarette. You will also learn about the importance of the worlds most

powerful super natural detox products (including magnesium, vitamin

C and Chlorella) toward the elimination of the 4,700 toxins found in

cigarettes that wreak havoc in your body. The sooner you pull out all

those poisons from your body the sooner any cravings, irritability and

insomnia will disappear.

From November on we'll also have other workshops based on other

topics as well.
