Kudos to Bob Sloan

and his Dog Park Club members

for the unique and engaging Woofe

st Festival in

Lamoureux Park on October 6th.

The event was welcomed by many dog lovers of

the city

and area, but more importantly, as an annual event,

Woofest rounds out the range of fe

stivals our city offers

residents and visitors.

More and more municipalities list a dog park on their

webpage as one of their amenities and this gr

oup is

working hard to add Cornwall to th

e list of full-service,

canine-friendly communities.

May they succeed.

As our dog Cooper says, “Bow-wow.

Go Bob”

With autumn there is a cooling off periodoutside, however in Parliament a newsweltering political season has begun. Summeris over, the days are getting darker, and there isa crisp cool change in the air.Liberal Leadership race heats up! 10short months ago he was havingtemper tantrums and shoutingprofanities across the House ofCommons. Now, Justin "Pirate Beard"Trudeau is running for the Liberal

Leadership. The man who had a fuddle duddle, andthe man who is unclear about his stance on Quebec separation,dreams of following in his father's footsteps to one day becomePrime Minister of Canada. Regardless of who wins the LiberalLeadership, they will face the daunting challenge of leading a thirdplace party. At least they have the solace of knowing things can'tget much worse for the Liberals (it is not like they will fall behindthe Green Party or the Bloc). However if Trudeau does win, expectthe gong show we have been so used to in the House of Commonsduring the Chretien and Martin era to be resurrected in full force.Mulcair and Harper, whether you agree with their policies or not,both have demonstrated substance and leadership. Charisma alonewill not win an election, and if Trudeau does not show realleadership and does not demonstrate real substance, expect theLiberals to once again be eating the dust of the Orange and Blue in2015. I would like to share with you a quote from Wesley Mouch whoasked: "If his name were Justin Smith would you still support him?"For Trudeau to be successful he will have to leap out of his father'slong shadow and prove he is his own man, and that he deserves to beleader regardless of his pedigree. He may have scored a TKO in theboxing ring, but in the political ring, both Harper and Mulcair willprove to be much tougher opponents for this young hungrypolitician.

Conservative MP insensitive over Latyon's death! Conservative MP RobAnders told iPolitics.ca that NDP leader of the official opposition Tom Mulcairhastened former NDP leader Jack Layton's death forcing him to fight in the 2011election. Anders later apologized for his idiotic, insensitive and ridiculouscomments. Last Monday in one sentence he said: "My comments in iPolitics withrespect to Mr. Mulcair and Mr. Layton were insensitive and inconsiderate. Iapologize to Mr. Mulcair and to Mr. Layton's family". Layton passed away monthsafter leading the NDP to the status of official opposition, a historic victory for theparty. Anders stooped very low with his initial comments which shocked decentCanadians everywhere, especially those who lost loved ones to cancer. Laytononce said, "Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is betterthan despair." This is a lesson Anders would benefit from learning. On a final note,I am surprised Conservative MP Rob Anders could make such observations aboutLayton and Mulcair since he has a habit of falling asleep on the job. Last year hemade headlines for falling asleep during question period in Parliament, and he hasbeen in the news yet again for dozing off, this time at a veterans meeting (ameeting that he arrived 15 minutes late to). My advice to Anders is this: wake up!Anders made the news yet again, this time criticized over his "bathroom"comments. The Conservative MP opposes Bill C279, a private member's bill aimingto amend the Human Rights Act to include gender identity and gender expressionas grounds for discrimination (something long over due). According to an articleon the CBC from earlier this week, he says "the bill's goal is to give transgender menaccess to women's washrooms, which has led it to be nicknamed the 'bathroombill' proposal." Anders is an embarrassment to the House of Commons, he has nocomprehension of serious issues, and he should consider doing Harper a favour,and resign before he does serious damage to the Conservative Party. The fact thatthe Prime Minister is not being more critical of his MP is very revealing.

Ontario NDP win by-election and stop McGuinty majority! The headline in theToronto Star read: "NDP win in Kitchener-Waterloo by-election leaves McGuintyhumbled, Hudak humiliated". Ontario NDP candidate Catherine Fife celebrated herby-election victory in Kitchener-Waterloo, stopping a Liberal majority, and taking aseat held by the Ontario Progressive Conservatives for many years. AndreaHorwath and the Ontario NDP are gaining steam, as progressive voters are joiningthe orange crush, as McGuinty and the Ontario Liberals trample on workers' rightsto collectively bargain. McGuinty and the Ontario Liberals are losing steam, andHudak and the Conservatives who were shut-out of both by-elections have to startlooking inwards at themselves. Congratulations to Catherine Fife, Andrea Horwath,and the Ontario NDP.Big Bird will be a part of the 47% in Mitt Romney's America! I don't often talkabout American politics, but the recent debate between Obama and Romney gotme thinking. When you look at all the challenges the United States is facing, forRomney to attack PBS in a Presidential Debate is deplorable at best. Big Bird willbecome a part of the 47% in Mitt Romney's America. It is a shame too, becauseSesame Street is the largest classroom in the United States. Quite literally millions

of children learn their ABC's and basic numeracy skills and so much more onSesame Street - core curriculum that prepares children to excel in elementaryschool. Is this about the US budget, or is this really about political ideologyagainst anything publicly-funded regardless of the obvious benefits forsociety? I have an English Major and I am a school teacher. My love for literacystarted at a very young age thanks to television programs like Sesame Street.However if Mitt Romney has his way, Sesame Street will start to resembledowntown Flint Michigan. How much of the budget is spent on PublicTelevision? The answer is less than one-tenth of one percent (and that is forall public television in the United States). This is a small price for so manyobvious economic and social benefits.

Local Entrepreneur solves common renovationproblem With the popularity of open concept living space, and the increase in the number of “do-it-yourself” home renovation projects, one question always seems to pop up: Is this aload bearing wall?

A local entrepreneur has created a product that takes the guess work out of the equation:a bright yellow sign that identifies load bearing walls.

“It really is all about being safe” said Denis St. Denis the creator of the product.“Removing a load bearing wall creates an unsafe situation by allowing walls and floorsto sag, damaging the structure involved. Using these load bearing signs quickly alertscontractors and DIY individuals to that fact, saving a lot of problems and headaches.”

Mr. St. Denis recommends that one of these signs be placed on each and every uprightsupport in the framing of all load bearing walls. Drywall can be installed as usual. The signs are made of long-lastingmaterial and therefore will still be around 5, 10 or even 75 years later when the next renovation project is underway. Atthat time, the signs will become visible as the drywall is removed, clearly identifying that the wall is load bearing and astructural engineer should be consulted.

Roy Perkins of the local Rona Home Centre outlet was so pleased to learn of this product that he now stocks the sign andhas placed it prominently near the order desk.

“This is a great product,” explained Mr. Perkins. “All new builds should have this notice included in the appropriateplaces, and any renovations that identify a load bearing wall should also use them. We commend Mr. St. Denis forbringing this product to the home building and renovation market.”

Load Bearing Warning Signs are available in both English and French and have been affordably priced. Mr. St. Deniscurrently has a Canadian Patent and a USA Patent Pending for his product. Load Bearing Wall Signs are currently availableat the Rona Home Centre located on Marleau Avenue here in Cornwall.

Finally Listed After months of working on renovations, packingand making the final touches, my house is listed!It is a relief, and yes, it does leave me withbittersweet feelings, but I could not delay theinevitable any longer. The house had to go onthe market, so I could finally start my new life,without the past weighing me down.

It was supposed to happen in September, but due to delayswith renos and lack of time, I had to hold off a little. In the end, it wasa concerted effort, and family and friends played key roles. As much asthey supported me, when it came time to meet with the realtor, I hadto do this on my own.

I nervously waited for them to arrive and was moving things up untiltheir arrival. As I showed them my home and went over details, it feltgood. Sure, there are always things I wished I had done, and as Ibrought them from room to room, I could still sense potential. Thereare rooms I rarely used, and it is a shame. The downsizing process hasleft me to question all that I hung onto, and as they finalized thedetails, I drove away while they finished looking over my place. I hadto be back in Kingston later that day, so I did not see the “For Sale” sign

until Thanksgiving weekend.

Seeing the sign was a relief, and it also meant an open door to realtors andpotential buyers. I picked Brad up in Belleville on Friday and after staying in mynew place in Kingston, we made our way back for a low-key Thanksgivingcelebration. When Brad left in early September, we were still in the midst ofmajor renovations, and he only saw one floor finished. Now that he had returned

for Thanksgiving break, he was able to see the completed home, and as empty asit was, he was able to say goodbye.

So now as I adjust to my new life, and my visits to Cornwall slowly dwindle, I knowthat the house on Elgin Street will always hold special memories. It is the onlyhome Brad ever knew and the place where I called home for over 23 years. I amsurrounded by the things that meant the most, and I also let go of what I nolonger needed, wanted or had room for.

With time, my home will greet new owners, who I am sure will love it as much aswe did. That is the thing about leaving a home; it is brick and mortar, it has nofeelings but it can hold so many. We sat around the table and said what we werethankful for this Thanksgiving: the safety of my only son, the promise of a newcareer in a new city and of course, the comfort of family that pulled together andhelped make this transition easier. So if you drive by and see a "for sale" sign on aproperty, don’t look at it as just a place, look at what it can mean for you and yourloved ones.

Alright, before we start let’s see ifanyone is paying attention to what Iwrite in these things.

Let’s give something away! Now I’mgoing to have “CONTEST! CONTEST!CONTEST!” written on the frontpage, so if you want to win you haveto be reading this! Here’s thequestion: What’s my favorite Spike

Lee movie? Simple! Just let us know what you think it is,and the first correct person will walk away with the movieon DVD, as well as a few extra DVDs as gifts! (That’s a $60movie giveaway!) I’d love to give you an inside tip on whichmovie it is, but then that wouldn’t make it a challenge!Email your answers or comments to me [email protected].

On to our review!

Somehow I’m not sure Bruce Willis was in the loop when hesigned up for his latest sci-fi flop Looper.

The story takes place in the past, the year 2044…which isthe past in the movie, but in the future for us, where timetravel doesn’t exist, but they know about it, but only themob uses it, in the future. Oh and where French is an exoticlanguage. Oh right and people can float coins with their

minds. Not objects, just coins. With me so far? Très bien!

Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a Looper. A Looper is a hired gun whowaits at a place in the past to shoot and dispose of a body, sent backfrom the mob in the future. A Looper is called a Looper, becausewhen his loop is closed, the mob sends back his older self, which theLooper unknowingly kills, and then goes on spending his silver untilthe end of his loop. Joe’s future self, older Joe is played by Bruce Willis,who leads a life of crime and debauchery, until he meets the womanwho changes his life. Although I don’t think she actually says anylines in the movie.

When the time comes for Joe’s loop to be closed, he decides hedoesn’t want his loop closed - gasping in amazement! I don’t thinkany of us in the theatre were shocked by this, except perhaps theyoung men sitting next to us who were wearing half a bottle of PacoRabanne cologne each and seemed to be the only two people whoactually enjoyed the film.

Like all future movies that try and include time travel, there areobvious holes, which of course they dismiss trying to explain, withone cheap line of dialogue. I’m sure Albert Einstein was rolling in hisgrave.

Oh yeah, and Emily Blunt is in the movie too. She’s a farmer, who canmake it rain by using an old-fashion round tub washing machine thatflies. OK, I’m sure that’s not what it was, but it looked like it.

The most amazing part of the entire film is how much they were ableto make Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like a young Bruce Willis.

Don’t see Looper. Save your money for Sky Fall, coming next month.

#2 By John Earle I fell down the stairs this week-end. Literally, woke up

in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom andhalf asleep, took a misstep and down the stairs I fell.Ouch. It really hurt and I have a few cuts and bruisesto sport now. I was lucky I didn’t break anything andso grateful for the care and kindness my daughtershowed me that morning at 5:30 am as she washedthe blood off my face.

It got me thinking about what would happen if Ihad more than just a couple of bruises, as my stairs are very narrow,

sharp and steep. What if? A recent story popped into my head about ayoung woman who had lost her leg in a quake. Her response to theexperience was unusual. As she recovered, she received an outpouring offunds and support. Instead of bemoaning her loss, she donated the fundsand raised a lot more to assist in the reconstruction of the community thathad taken her leg. Her dictum “You can't change what happens to you.Sometimes life sucks. But you have control over your response. Life is a lotmore pleasant when you focus on the positive.” Brelsford.

This is so simple yet inspirational and once again reminds me that at somepoint in life, there comes an event or a moment that tests you. Thatpossibly asks you who you want to be and where will you go or what areyou made of. And when you decide to speak out - choose to lead and takechances - incredible things happen. When we embrace our uniquenessand encourage ourselves and others to focus on our best traits rather thanwhat society sees as flaws, we have a lot of energy to go forth with our lives

in the way we choose.

Take Wangari Maathai for instance, an environmentalist activist who became thefirst African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. She held a belief thatdevelopment in Kenya and Africa could be ecologically, socially and economicallyviable. Her decision to lead this belief led to the planting of over 40 million trees andover 30,000 women trained in agricultural and environmental trades.

How about Canadian great Angela James, the female hockey legend who won fourworld championships? What would have happened if she had not persisted,discovering ice after playing ball hockey for many years, in finding a team thatwould give her ice time as she was mocked on many occasions? She is one of thefirst two women inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

There are so many women who inspire us to be great! When you read about aninspiring woman, it makes you stop and look at life differently. They will awe youwith their determination, grace and dignity. They choose their attitudes and focuson their belief which is expressed in the lives that they create. My hope is that bysharing some of these stories, it will inspire you to be self-confident like thesewomen and find the source within yourself to lead your life with flair. No specialpowers are needed, just self-belief.

As for me and my minor injuries, I did grumble the next day until I was gentlyreminded, by the breezy smoky Fall air, amongst the gorgeous swell of colordisplayed by the hundreds of leaves dotted alongside the banks of the St. LawrenceRiver, that I was in fact walking, with both my legs intact.

WINNERS THIS WEEK

This is a perfect time of year to make this tasty , nutritioussupper dish. It uses sweet green and red peppers, zucchini,eggplant, onions and tomatoes. All these vegetables are inabundance from Farmers' markets or you own garden. Youcan cook them vegetarian or add in some cooked, crumbledItalian sausage or ground beef. You choose and enjoy yourmeal!

INGREDIENTS:1/2 lb. bulk Italian sausage or lean ground beef (optional)6 sweet green peppers3 small zucchini (about l lb.)1 medium sized eggplant (about 1 lb.)1 cup of thinly sliced onion (I use a Spanish onion)1/2 cup olive oil2 cloves of garlic, minced

METHOD:-In a large skillet, using 1 tbsp. olive oil, cook the Italian sausage or hamburger, breaking up the meat as it browns. Cook until meat is thoroughlycooked. Remove the cooked meat from the skillet and set it aside.-Rinse all of the vegetables in cold water.-Cut the tops off 2 of the green peppers. Cut off the bottoms. Slice down the pepper and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into 1/4" strips. (Theremaining 4 green peppers will be stuffed.)-Cut the zucchini crosswise into 1/2" slices and cut the eggplant lengthwise into quarters, then across into 1/4" slices.-Heat about 3 tbsp. olive oil in the skillet and to this add the green pepper strips, sliced onion and minced garlic. Saute this for about 5 minutes,stirring often until the peppers and onions are tender. Using a slotted spoon, lift the vegetables from the skillet to a bowl and set them aside.-Add 2 more tbsp. of the olive oil to the skillet and add the sliced zucchini. Cook this for about 2 minutes, turning frequently. Cook until they aretender. Transfer them to the bowl of peppers and onions. -In the skillet, saute the eggplant in the remaining oil, turning frequently as they cook. Cook for about 5 minutes or until tender.-Return the pepper and zucchini mixture to the skillet. Add to this the salt, pepper, tomatoes and parsley. If you are using meat, add the cooked,crumbled Italian sausage or hamburger now. Continue to cook for several minutes, until everything is hot and the tomatoes are cooked. Removethe pan from the heat and set it aside for now.-Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.-Using a paring knife, cut the tops off the 4 remaining green and red peppers. Remove the cores and seeds. Don't cut through the bottom of thepeppers.-Use a 13" X 9" baking dish. Spray it with non-stick spray. Stuff the peppers with the vegetable and meat mixture. Any extra vegetable mixturecan be spread over the bottom of the baking dish.-Arrange the stuffed peppers in the baking dish. -Sprinkle the bread crumbs and butter mixture over top of the stuffed peppers.-Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes in the pre-heated oven. Bake until the vegetables are hot. About 25 minutes into your baking time,sprinkle with the shredded cheese and return to the oven. Once the cheese melts and begins to brown slightly, remove the pan from the oven.-This serves 8. Enjoy!

Stuck in a moment and youcan’t get out of itTo err is human. Ain’t that the truth! Whether youcall them mistakes, errors in judgment or “slip-ups”,we all have been there. Maybe it was the time youforgot to use your filter and the hurtful wordscame pouring out; or you made that poorjudgment and hurt someone you care about. Weall can relate to having done something we

regret.

Maybe we were the victim of a hurtful or traumatic incident and just like theU2 song, we are “stuck in a moment.”

If we could hop aboard a time machine and return to the past to have a shotat a do-over, the line-up would most likely wind around the world a half-dozen times.

How do we get PAST our PAST? Is there a way to NOT allow the incidences ofour past define us? Obviously, everything that we have experienced hasmolded us and shaped us into who we are right now. Your family, friends,jobs and relationships have all played roles in creating you.

A past hurt may have you walking wounded. A previous betrayal has taughtyou to not trust. An absent parent may have left you with abandonmentissues. A past illness has you living in fear. At what point do we stop allowingour past to define us?H

EADIN

G For HAPPY with Sa

r a M

u rph

y When you think of yourself as a person with many, many layers it is easier to seethat we are more than merely one incident. Life is just not that simple.

Think about all the roles you play in life. We are so diverse and multi-layered. Noone is just one thing. If I made the decision to define myself solely as a cancersurvivor, it would hold me back and be unfair to myself. If I defined myself bymy past divorce pain, I would be doing myself and my daughter an injustice. IfI dwelled on poor decisions that I have made in the past, I would never be ableto move ahead and grow as a person.

I am so much more than my mistakes. I am strong and extremely capabledespite the challenges I have had to face. I want to be seen and accepted forALL that I am.

I have met people who were so focused on one aspect of my life; say my cancerexperience or the breakdown of my marriage. I don’t “live there” anymore, andI have moved on. In other words, I am over it! I would much rather talk about allthe other exciting and positive things that are happening in my life right now,because this is where I now live! I am a culmination of my past experiences, butthey do not define me.

Will you let your past define you, or will you let it refine you?

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS Excuse me; do you havethat only in Red?This past weekend I had the pleasure, no thatwasn’t what I would call it; the fun, no, not thateither. Well let’s just say I participated in an ArtShow and Sale in a small town just outside ofOttawa. Except for a few showers it was theperfect October day with cool air and warm

sunshine. The Art show, although it was indoors,had a Farmer’s Market going on just outside so the amount of visitorsgoing through the exhibit was very good. I would have gladly tradedmost of the visitors, which reached close to one thousand, for a handfulof true appreciators and perhaps buyers of art.

The problem with the set up we had at this location was there was toomuch art for the small space. The visitors filed by very quickly and as theymoved along their eyes started to glaze over. This often happens whenthere is too much to take in; soon it all becomes a blur of colour.This is not a unique situation as most opportunities for the Visual Artistare now ones that are created by either an organization of Artists or agroup of Artists themselves. This usually means setting up in aCommunity Hall with booths or a park with tents. For the most part thisworks well for the Visual Artist and Crafter as it gives them a chance toshow what they do to the public. The real problem is that unless you areselling small items that are $5 - $50.00 dollars the public is not there topurchase serious works of art that will grace their living rooms. It isinevitable that someone will ask if you have one of those flower paintingsonly in red or blue to go with their bathroom décor.

This type of sales venue can be disheartening for many Visual Artists thatalready struggle with their self esteem and have the masses telling themto get a real job. My advice to them is that they should consider theaudience and not give up. I watched people glance and pass at somebeautiful creative mixed media art in the booth beside me without evenbreaking stride only to stop and gasp at a realistic portrait painter, ooingand awing at how it looked like a photograph, hmmm, that’s anothertopic so I will leave that alone for now. There were many Artists who didnot sell a thing all weekend and not because their work was substandard.Even the portrait painter for all the attention he got was disappointed inthe lack of commissions. “Tire Kickers” I said to him, “Hmm, Tire Kickers” heagreed.

The most interesting thing I observed at this event was the Artiststhemselves; we paced like caged tigers; we nibbled constantly on thefood set out; drank way too much coffee to try to stay alert; dozed offoccasionally in our chairs and at one point I mused that we were likeStreet Walkers, hanging out in and around our small booths along theaisle hoping someone found something that interested them.

Have a good week,Sandra Taylor Hedges, Fine Artist,Teacher and Past President of Focus Art

Congratulations ...You're going to have a baby. We believe youand your baby deserve the best. We want tohelp new mothers learn what is best fortheir babies right from the start.

RISKS TO BE AWARE OF:

-Statistically, breastfed infants of smoking mothers have 10times more nicotine in their systems-Smoking during pregnancy makes your child 3 times more likely todevelop ADHD than if you didn't smoke-Alcohol is a known health risk because no one knows what the "safe"amount to drink is for a pregnant woman-Many seemingly innocuous products such as Dimetapp, Nyquil,Dayquil, and Tylenol may also cause birth defects and miscarriages-Studies have shown that women who drink more than 3 cups of coffeea day (containing caffeine) reduce their odds of conception by 26% asbabies absorb 20% of ALL drugs during one's pregnancy

ARE YOU CONSIDERING AN EPIDURAL?-Note that epidurals cause longer labours with slower progress-Can also cause fevers in mothers during childbirth-Epidurals increases the need for Pitocin by up to 3.5 times, thus causingslow and irregular contractions-A quadrupling of the need for antibiotics for your newborn-Epidurals can also induce neonatal jaundice

C-SECTION VS GOING NATURALA recent study found that the cord blood from babies delivered by C-section only contained one third the IgA antibodies compared to control groups, thus exposing the baby to products that will render them allergic.

NATURAL BREASTFEEDINGMany substances in breast milk contain anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties so that later on in childhood these breast milk-fed children out-perform otherkids as well as have lesser ear infections. Cow's milk, on the other hand, is often contaminated with traces of steroids and antibiotics. Thus formula-fed childrenare twice as likely to develop a neurological irregularity.

ONE'S NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTIONING WELL IS KEYThe nervous system controls all actions (voluntary and involuntary) including the five senses, digestion, elimination, breathing, heartbeat even the wiggling ofyou toes but especially YOU and your baby's health at this critical stage.

Dr. Paul Poirier www.drpaulpoirier.com

P.S. Don't forget about our smoking cessation workshop this Monday (6:00pm) at the Ramada. Call 613-936-1386 as seating is going quickly!

Iabsolutely loved thisexperience and can’t wait fornext year’s market season tokick off again. The vendors arevery devoted and givingindividuals as well, and we hada great time serving all of you

who came to the market on a weekly basis. Thank you foryour local support and especially buyinglocal.

My next vendor experience will be onSunday, November 4th at Marlin’sOrchards, 11:00am to 4:00pm for the TrunkSale and Pamper Me Party - a fundraiser forMS. This will be an awesome day, $5 perperson at the door. Consider it your one-stopshopping experience for Christmas. Make sureto bring CASH!!! Many original vendors will beon hand at this awesome greenhouse venue, it

will be amazing! Last year, the day raised $11,000 forthe cause. The organizers (www.we3girls.ca) are hopingto match or surpass that amount this year so pleasespread the word, social media is a great way of doingthis. Let’s make this year the best one ever!!! Hope to seeyou there, I will have healthy eating cooking seminargift certificates at my booth available for Christmasgifts. Something for that person who haseverything…give them the gift of health!

It being Thanksgiving lastweek-end helped me putmany things intoperspective. It made merealize how life and health isprecious. It also made me

realize how lucky I am to have an amazing husbandand son. I chose to start writing in a gratitude journal each and every day again. This helpsme put my day in a bright, positive light, and really helps me focus on what I want to achievethat day. Nothing like putting it out there in the Universe; I strongly believe that how youproject your thoughts will truly reflect what you will be living that day. If you think that theday will be awful and dreary because of your job, co-workers, traffic, parking, etc…then youcan be sure that this is what your day will attract.

We need to realize the power that we have within us to make each and every day a goodone. No matter how things go, you can usually find one positive thing in your day. It may notbe obvious at first…. maybe you came home and your family prepared a great meal; your kidgot a great report card; you may receive a note from a loved one; your child runs and givesyou a big kiss, hug and says “I love you”! It doesn’t have to be something material, but if youlook really close you will find something to be thankful for.

More and more I realize that we cannot take life for granted, we need to appreciate andnurture it. We only have one chance at it and we want to make it a good one. We need to treatothers the way we would like to be treated. Really, we are all equal, and it is the choices thatwe make daily that create difference and distance between us. If I could think of two wordsthat feed on this negativity they would be jealousy and envy. These feelings lead to manyhardships and rips between friendships and families.

October is anti-bullying month, something very dear to my heart (especially having worked in a school environment for the last 20 years). We need to takethese actions seriously, stand as one and show the victims that they are not alone and can live their lives without worry, pain and sorrow each and every day.If we stand up against these bullies (kids or adults) then they will be the ones standing out and seeing that they need to change their actions in order to fitinto our society.

Dear Joe,I have a triplex in the eastend of town. The frontporch has sagged to thepoint of being unsafeand the tenants areunable to use it. I have

told them that it will berepaired shortly but I am unsure as to how to go about repairing it andto what degree. The actual wood of both the upper and lower deckslooks OK, so I don’t want to replace them if I don’t have to. The roof issturdy but I will need to re-shingle it. Can you tell me what to look forand how I should diagnose the problems that need to be fixed? Howshould I decide what to save while still keeping it safe? Thanks, BMD

Thank you for the great question,This is a very, very common problem with all of the tenements built as Cornwall boomed between 1900 and 1940. Most were built in the samebasic style with one unit above, and one below, each with a front porch facing the street. As they age, the points most susceptible to deteriorationare the wood components directly exposed to the weather or the earth. The first thing to go usually, are the wooden posts which rest on thefootings, and the bottoms of the posts which support the upper two structures. Changing these is fairly simple. It requires some careful jackingand then simply cutting out the old posts and replacing them with new pressure-treated lumber. Now you’ll have to do a careful inspection of thestructure of the two porch floors. This will require getting dirty. You’re going to have to crawl under the porch with a good light and a hammer andscrewdriver. Do a good visual inspection and with your hammer, give all the framing members a good hit to test their structural integrity. Ifeverything appears OK, take the screwdriver and poke the wood joists concentrating on the tops and ends of each one. If no rot is discovered thenit should be just a matter of replacing the posts and levelling everything out. If the joists are rotted then you will be looking at a completereplacement. Other than that, a good visual and tactile evaluation should be enough to evaluate the porch and make your decision as to what toreplace and what to keep. Now, keep in mind, building codes have not only changed since this house was built but, there were no building codesto speak of when it was built - so the porch as it was originally constructed probably would not conform to today’s codes. You have to be awarethat if you’re reconstructing any part of it, it will now have to conform to the Ontario Building Code, so you will need a permit and a building

inspector to come and make sure that all of your work is safe and conforming. Good luck with your project,

Thanks for reading, Joe

327 2nd Street E. Thank-you



A weekly look at racing fromboth sides of the 1000IslandsAfter plenty of build-up and hype the last fewweeks regarding Super DIRT Week 41, it has nowcome and gone. As with most Super DIRT Weekevents, we had plenty of excitement; we had to

deal with Mother Nature; and we had the usualcontroversy during the weekend that always seems to be the case with the

biggest race of the 2012 season.

My Super DIRT Week began on Tuesday, October 2nd as I joined up withDillon Sallows and his race team and began to make the trip to the New YorkState Fairgrounds. We traveled to Central Square, New York and campedthere until Wednesday morning, and then made the short drive to the NewYork State Fairgrounds in Syracuse to set up camp for the week.

Rain from overnight and the damp temperatures made it impossible for carsto get on the track at the mile on Wednesday, but racing on Wednesday nightat nearby Cayuga County Fair Speedway took place as the 358 Modifieds andSportsman both had Mr. DIRTcar Series events. Tim McCreadie took the leadin lapped traffic from Brett Hearn with just two laps remaining to pick up thewin. Matt Sheppard, Danny Johnson and Stewart Friesen rounded out thetop five on what could very well have been the final event in the history ofthe Cayuga County Fair Speedway. Steve Gray who led all 30 laps of thecaution-free event won the Sportsman race. Martin Pelletier finishedsecond, Greg Martin was third with Don Spatorico and Dave Marcuccilirounding out the top five.

Cars were finally able to hit the track on Thursday at Syracuse with practice for alldivisions and Big Block Modified time trials. I also attended the media luncheon heldat the Fairgrounds on Thursday morning. Thursday night was a busy night for race fansas both Rolling Wheels Raceway and Brewerton Speedway had events scheduled. BillyDecker was the winner at Brewerton in the Hurricane 100, while Brett Hearn took thecheckers at Rolling Wheels for the Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified event.

Friday consisted of more practice and qualifying for the 358 Modifieds andSportsman, plus the Futures races for first-time Syracuse racers in each division.Justin Wright won the Big Block Modified Futures race, with Tim Sears Jr. winningthe 358 Modified Futures event. There were so many Sportsman cars on hand, theyhad to be split up into two groups for their Futures races, with Mathieu Desjardinstaking the win in one of the races, and Gary Lindberg winning the other. Fridaynight was the twin 20 qualifying heat races for the 358 Modifieds and triple 20 heatraces for the Big Blocks. Billy Decker and Danny Johnson shared the stage splittingthe Small Block heats while Decker, Billy Dunn and Bobby Varin won the Big Blockheats.

Saturday had a dreary start, forcing track officials to cancel most of the events. The358 teams did get some practice as did the Sportsman cars. They also got the 358Modified Gander Mountain 150 race in the books, as Tim McCreadie scored thepopular victory over fellow Watertown, New York area racers Billy Dunn and TimFuller. Ronnie Johnson and Mat Williamson rounded out the top five. Matt Billingshad a great run, scoring a sixth place finish.

The Sportsman race that was scheduled for Saturday got postponed until Sundaymorning, and made for a busy schedule with the Pro Stock race and Big Block SEF200 also on the card. Rocky Warner made a late race pass on Mathieu Desjardins toscore the win. Cody McPherson, Chris Herbison and Jimmy Spellmon rounded outthe top five. Pete Stefanski took home the Pro Stock win over Joey Ladouceur, RockyWarner, Roch Aubin and Rob Yetman.

With rain approaching, the SEF 200 for the Big Blocks was expected to be a race tolap 100. Rain after lap 100 would be an official race. As the race approached the 100lap mark and light rain began, it was Brett Hearn out front, and with 113 laps in thebooks, the race was called complete as Hearn won the $50,000 SEF 200 for the firsttime in 17 years. Matt Sheppard finished second, Jimmy Phelps was third, JustinHaers in fourth and Pat Ward rounded out the top five. It was a tough break for TimFuller, running in second, having to pit for fuel just one lap earlier.

This coming weekend is the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals atBrockville Speedway. Friday night is the Go Nuclear Late Models and DIRTcar ProStocks. Saturday is the 360 Sprint Car Challenge, DIRTcar 358 Modifieds and TUSAMod Lite Series. Sunday is the Big Block Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman and StreetStock invitational.

Tips forPaying OffYourMortgageFasterMortgages in Canada aregenerally amortizedbetween 25 and 30-yearterms. While this seemslike a long time, it doesnot have to take anyonethat long to pay off theirmortgage if they chooseto do so in a shorterperiod of time.

With a little bit ofthinking ahead, and asmall amount of sacrifice,most people canmanage to pay off theirmortgage in a muchshorter period of time bytaking positive stepssuch as:

Making mortgage paymentseach week, or even every otherweek. Both options lower yourinterest paid over the term ofyour mortgage and can result inthe equivalent of an extramonth’s mortgage paymenteach year. Paying your mortgagein this way can take yourmortgage from 25 years down to21.

When your income increases, increase the amount of yourmortgage payments. Let’s say you get a 5% raise each year at work. Ifyou put that extra 5% of your income into your mortgage, yourmortgage balance will drop much faster, and you won't feel like you arechanging your spending habits.

Mortgage lenders will also allow you to make extra payments onyour mortgage balance each year. Just about everyone findsthemselves with money they were not expecting at some point oranother. Maybe you inherited some money from a distant relative, oryou received a nice holiday bonus at work. Apply this money to yourmortgage lender as a lump-sum payment towards your mortgage andwatch the results.

By applying these strategies consistently over time, you will save money,pay less interest and pay off your mortgage years earlier!
