ELECTIONS 101by Seeker Chick Julia
Isn't it interesting how you can have people
sitting next to you at work, day in, day out,
yet feel so alone? Isn't it puzzling that
even when you have a house full of noise
and activity, you can feel so totally on
your own. As a matter of fact, it
sometimes seem that the more busy
your entourage is, the more isolated one
feels... Who hasn't felt at times that their
life-long journey is filled with solitary
confinement? This is particularly true for
politicians. And this is particularly true
during election season.
Politicians are ultimately only as good as the
people they surround themselves with.
And they have to delegate and trust these
people with their own future. I can't even
begin to imagine letting go of control to
that point. Control freaks need not apply.
Politics are definitely not for them. Being a good
team player, as well as having a well-planned and
well-organized political campaign are mandatory
items to achieve success. Even if the runner says all
the right things, has all the right answers and has the
right platform, none of it matters if there is not a
means for distributing the message. Media relations
become crucial, and hitting the pavement a must.
To make matters even more interesting, contrarily to
our Southern neighbours who's campaigns can last
up to a whopping 2 years depending on the money
they have, our politicians have merely a month--two if
they are lucky--to make themselves noticed,
regardless of their campaign funds. This is where
having good staff members, namely a campaign
manager, volunteer coordinator, finance manager,
scheduler and media director, take on a whole new
kind of importance.
Let us exemplify this with a concrete example:
Bernadette Clement. (Clarification: this is in no way
an endorsement. It is meant to point out what, in
our humble opinion, Mrs. Clement is doing RIGHT.)
First and foremost, Mrs. Clement is ACCESSIBLE,
which makes a huge difference. She takes the time to talk and get the pulse of the
people. She is using SOCIAL MEDIA greatly to her advantage, keeping potential
voters posted on her whereabouts. She is VISIBLE, she is out there, she is knocking
on doors. She is LIKEABLE. Her demeanor is friendly, she has a great big smile and
she always seems to be genuinely concerned about the community. But is Mrs.
Clement lonely?
On Thursday, the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a candidates' debate at the
Civic Complex. If you can't attend in person, watch live on

Two pre World War I Easter Postcards.
St. Raphael's 1950. The first Roman Catholic Church was built in
St. Raphael's around 1790. Work on this structure began in
1821 under the direction of the future Bishop, Alexander
Macdonnell, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Upper Canada
(Ontario, 1826 - 1840.) The church was destroyed by fire
August 11, 1970, leaving the present stone shell.
An extremely rare
photograph of the
interior of St.
Raphael's by
photographer Marcel
Quenneville, 1950.
The church was
constructed with
wooden rafters in
place of pillars and
wooden pins instead
of nails. Naturally
there were no steel
beams.
Cornerstone laying of the present St. Columban's
church, the third, in 1894.

Church. The
Parish began as
a mission
church of
St. Andrew's in
1829.
Trinity (Bishop
Strachan Memorial),
Church. While the
United Empire
Loyalists undoubtedly
brought their religion
with them, the first
parish of the Church of
England (Anglican),
was not tentatively
established until three
years after their arrival,
in 1787. The church's most famous pastor was the Rev. John Strachan, future
Bishop of Toronto and founder of the Eastern District (Cornwall) Grammar School,
the forerunner of today's CCVS. Work on the present church started in 1869. The
builder's originally wanted a steeple, but the ground proved to be too unstable, and
the steeple had to wait until the later part of the 20th century when lighter building
materials made it feasible.

ENJOY FRESH MAPLE SYRUPThere is nothing more Canadian than our pure maplesyrup! Maple syrup and sugar were one of the earliestagricultural crops produced in Ontario. Way before thewhite man came to Canada, native Indians living aroundthe Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River valley used maplesyrup and maple sugar as a main sweetener of their food.Maple syrup was the main sweetener used in pioneerhouseholds until about 1875. It takes 40 gallons of maplesap to be boiled down to make just 1 gallon of maple syrup.Our friends Jean and Gary Ivens work so hard in their maplebush to make maple syrup. They are the second generation
to make maple syrup from their heritage farm. We have sold their syrup in our storefor many , many years. Our customers have brought it to their families and friendsaround the world. It has travelled to Japan, China, South America and many states inthe U.S.
Here are some delicious recipes using this national delicacy. I hope you enjoy them.
MAVIS' MAPLE SYRUP PIEMy friend Mavis Wert wrote a cookbook in 1987 with her family recipes called
Country Fare. I am lucky to have a copy of it and often use her recipes with great
results. Here's her recipe for maple syrup pie:
1 baked pie crust
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup water
METHOD;• Heat the maple syrup in the top of a double boiler.
• Make a thin paste of the flour and the water and stir this in to the maple syrup.
• Stir some of the hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks and return this to the
hot maple mixture in the double boiler.
• Cook this until thickened, stirring frequently.
• Add the butter and beat well.
• Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust and cover with a meringue. Carefully
spread the meringue to touch the pasty so the meringue won't shrink while it
bakes. Flip it up to form peaks.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes , or until the meringue is lightly
browned.
MERINGUE;2 to 3 egg whites, at room temperature
4 tbsp. fruit sugar or white sugar
a pinch of cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
TIPS FOR A PERFECT MERINGUE;
• Always have your egg whites at room temperature to whip them. (NOTE: it
is easier
to separate cold eggs, then allow the egg whites to come to room temperture befor
beating)
• Make sure when you are cracking the eggs to separate them , that no egg yolk gets
in to the egg whites or the meringue will not whip.
• Your mixer beaters and mixing bowl must be perfectly clean and free from any
grease or the meringue won't whip properly.
METHOD;
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the
cream of tartar.
• Continue beating on high speed and slowly add the sugar.
• Lastly add the vanilla.
• Beat the meringue until stiff peaks form. My Mum always said that it isn't beaten
properly until you can rub a little meringue between your thumb and index finger
and feel no grains of sugar.
• Be sure to spread the meringue to completely cover the top of the pie and touch all
the edge of pastry so it won't shrink while browning in the oven.

MAPLE SQUARESYou use maple syrup in the actual square as well as in the frosting.
1/3 cup butter
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup maple syrup
1 -1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
a pinch of salt

THE FROSTING;
-In a saucepan, boil the 1 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of milk and the 4 tbsp.
butter together for 3 minutes. Allow this to come to room temperature.
-Stir in enough icing sugar to thicken the frosting and be a spreading
consistency.
-Spread the frosting over the cooled squares. ENJOY!
MAPLE BUTTER TARTSUse homemade tart shells or buy our easy, frozen tart shells. This recipe will make
18 medium- sized tarts.
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1- 1/2 cups maple syrup
1 cup raisins (I like Thompson raisins)
1/4 tsp, fine salt
1 tbsp. butter
METHOD;
• Preheat oven to 450degrees F. Prepare pastry for tart shells or thaw the frozen
prepared tart shells.
• In a saucepan, bring to a boil, the brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins, salt and
butter.
• Cook this for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the raisins are cooked.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool.
• When the filling is cool, add the beaten eggs, vanilla and chopped nuts.
• Pour the filling into the unbaked tart shells.
• Bake in a 450 degree F. oven for 8 minutes, then lower the oven temperature
to 350 degrees F. and bake until done. ENJOY!

Well, Marie Morrell has definitely done it again!Anyone who knows Marie knows of her extraordinary organizational skills. Sunday, April 10th, 2011, we engaged in a march from the Civic Complex
to City Hall to bring awareness to the cultural aspects of Cornwall. Bernadette Clement,
Maurice Dupelle and Guy Lauzon are just a few of the supporters for this worthy cause.
The weather was in our favour and Marie used all the attending experts, in this area, to
speak out and tell a little of their own stories. Marie is the one who will continue to pull
together the fight for this cause and bring awareness to the citizens of Cornwall, who
may not realize, as yet, that a Cultural Centre is worth fighting for. Hope to see more of
you at the next walk. by Patricia Acker
MARCH FOR CULTURE By Marie Morrell
The March for culture's purpose was to bring together representatives and members of
the various groups representing the Cornwall’s Culture. Even if at this time, as a
community we are concentrating on the art culture, let’s not forget that culture
encompasses every aspect of our daily life. Culture is the evolution of our world through
all its challenges and trends. On April 10th, 15 groups’ representatives, in turn, were
invited to make a speech for the following cultural communities: art (painters,
photographers, artisans, singers, dancers), language as a form of expression (writers
and media), faith depicting our beliefs, science, education, Pride Cornwall, blind and
deaf (showing sign language below right,) poverty, governmental (federal and
municipal), countries of the world cultures and traditions (Estonian, Netherlands,
Trinidad Tobago and Jamaican), youth, seniors and businesses.
As you can see, the first march featured many various cultural sectors and the
organizer was extremely grateful for the representatives’ attendance and to the
Creator for the beautiful weather. While chatting, the representative from the
Parade of Nations for the Developmentally Challenged and those with special
needs, collected over 30 new names of groups and individuals to be added to
www.paradeofnations.com website, under artists/artisans, performers and
writers. If you did not have an opportunity to attend and provide your name for
the art culture category, please send your name, a biography, a picture and a link

MISUNDERSTANDING THE DEFINITION
OF CULTURE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
Culture encompasses everything in one’s life. “Culture” exists since the
beginning of the world; it’s all about evolution, at every stage, of
civilization. It’s about shared beliefs, learned values and attitudes,
which influences our perception of things and form our behaviour. It’s
about the way particular groups of people carry out their day-to-day
activities, following a consistent systematic way (a routine).
According to “Culture “ experts, culture is about language (the most
sophisticated medium of expression), art and science (the most
advanced and refined forms of human expression), thoughts (the ways
in which people perceive, interpret, and understand the world around
them and why the whole world is in so much trouble because
misinterpretation and misunderstanding), spirituality (the value
system transmitted through generations for the inner well-being of
human beings, expressed through language and actions), social
activity (the shared pursuits within a cultural community,
demonstrated in a variety of festivities and life-celebrating events,
interaction in al its forms (the social aspects of human contact,
including the give-and-take of socialization, negotiation, protocol,
conventions, sports, etc.). All of the above collectively define the
meaning of “Culture”.
Culture takes into account trends, an inclination about following
certain general tendencies affecting societies, such as drug, violence,
poverty, criminal behaviour, fashion, music, dance, film making,
writing, etc.
Culture also refers to bias, a prejudice in favour of or against one thing,
person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered
to be unfair based on gossip or emotion instead of logic or reason.
Biases affect judgment and decision-making. In most instances, this
negativity, affecting culture, is the result of statistics bias (data
collection and analysis), which can take several forms and falls under
several definitions, but in each case, represents some sort of deviation
from the truth. There is also"media bias" which implies a pervasive or
widespread bias contravening the standards of journalism, rather than
the perspective of an individual journalist or article.
As you can see “Culture” has a complex definition. I hope this article
will help you get a clearer picture.

I want to RANT!I think I have been watching too much of Rick
Mercer lately as I find myself with RANT – envy. Why
do I want to rant – another federal election! More
importantly I want to rant because of how the campaign is being run, by all
parties. Do these politicians think we are so stupid that we can’t see through all
their negative politicking? Is it only me or are you also tired of our federal
politicians picking away at the flesh of their fellow political leaders like a bunch of
vultures at a road kill buffet. I am tired of it!
Negative politicking is, in my view, a way of telling us that they really either: a)
have no idea what their platform is or what they as leaders (I use the word lightly
here) stand for or b) they really have no idea what we as Canadians think is
important. No wonder the number of voters are declining - we are not clear about
what we are voting for, we can only decide which of the evil triplets (I don’t count
Duceppe) is the least harmful.
I will take a deep breath at this point – I feel better. I am not however, changing
the subject. There is a saying that a country gets the government it deserves. I
really dislike this saying. As I survey the political landscape of Canada and the
paucity of true leadership that exists at the national level, I realize that somehow
we as Canadian citizens have attracted this. I know that as you read this, you are
probably throwing your hands in the air and saying not me! I know I have done so
and yet I acknowledge that I am partly responsible.
For years, like many of you, I have focused on what I dislike about our federal leaders. I have
complained and yes, as you know, I have ranted. Not once however have I come up for air and
stipulated what, in my view, would be more perfect for me. I have not focused on what I really
want from my political leaders, I have been too busy focusing on what I don’t want. The Law of
Attraction would tell me that by doing so, I am actually attracting more of what I don’t want.
So I suppose I should simply get off my high horse and get down to earth and become really
clear about what it is I really want. Here goes - my perfect political leader:
• has a compelling vision for our country which inspires me and my fellow Canadians
• has a political agenda which addresses the important issues our country faces
• clearly articulates their vision and their platform to me
• are values-centered and principled/ethical
• believe in and support the Canadian political system
• are honest
• communicate their views passionately, from both their head and their heart
• are environmentally conscious and forward thinking
• focus their attention on communicating who they are and what they stand for rather than criticizing their opponents
• are respectful of us, the Canadian voters
• are in touch with the reality of Canadian society and what our real needs are
I now hand this over to you with the following invitation – let’s stop complaining and start
acting. Your first action is to become clear on what you really want and expect from our
Canadian leaders. Use my list as a kick start if you want. Okay – you can rant too if you really
want to!
Until next time…Betty

CORNWALL DOG PARK
ASSOCIATIONS NEW LOOK!By Bob Sloan,
Cornwall Dog Park - Chair
Thanks to a generous donation from one of our local businessesVersacore, which specializes in intelligent functioning websitesand their design, the CDPA now has a brand new look!
The CDPA is a local volunteer organization made up of a group ofconcerned citizens who are looking out for the interests of ourcanine friends. Having a proper website such as this becomes apowerful tool when it comes to managing our group in allaspects. More importantly we will now be empowered with amore professional look that will deliver efficiently theinformation dog owners are looking for in our community.Along with the obvious info about park locations, services, rules,and upcoming events, the site will help us fundraise both now tobuild the park, and later for the maintenance and upkeep.
Other critical elements that will be added in our new site includePay Pal, with social media links to Facebook and Twitter. Ourcommittee members will discover the ease as to which we will beable to make changes to our site using a simple program such asword. We no longer have to study just to make a change.
Many precious volunteer hours are spent by our members onprojects, and if we can just make things a bit easier, we canredirect these energies elsewhere. To Julia Lucio (owner ofVersacore), on behalf of the CDPA committee I wish to extendyou a huge thank you for rescuing us with your generousdonation!
Julia has also offered free webhosting which is a further savingsto the CDPA, and added a booster to make us much easier to findon the world wide web!
Although Julia’s intention is to set us up and make us selfsufficient when it comes to managing the site, she will be just aphone call away if need be at no charge…wow!
Building an off-leash dog park takes a lot of commitment fromits volunteers and further requires generous donations from ourcommunity. If you wish to donate funds or ideas that wouldhelp us reach our goal, don’t hesitate to contact us through ourwebsite. www.cornwalldogpark.ca

Those that can Do;
those that can’t
Teach??Did you ever ask yourself what
does that mean? I have.
Personally I believe that this is a
rumour started by someone who
couldn’t teach the form of Art they
practice. The truth is that anyone
who is called to teach the Arts no
matter which of the disciplines, understands that this is one of
the most difficult challenges they face as an Artist.
The Artist must be able to remove him or herself from the
spontaneous action that they perform and break it down into
digestible pieces that the student can take in. This is of course
in addition to the basics of the craft such as theory, history of
and exorcizes to develop timing and hand eye coordination.
The real meat of the matter is could you, doing what you do,
explain the more intangible things such as, how do you get in
the zone? How do you make that brush stroke? How do I get
my voice to tremble without going off key? How can I get into
the mind of the character? My personal favourite, how long
until I can do that just like you? These are the challenges of a
teacher in the Arts.
Teaching the Arts is a way the Artist can make a living or at the
very least support their creative habit often sacrificing precious
personal creative time doing so. It’s for this reason it irks me to
hear anyone put these people down with a flip cliché.
Teaching is an Art in itself, a form of performance Art if you will.
One moment you are just an ordinary everyday person to your
friends and family and in an instant you must transform into the
most confident all knowing person in your field without a trace
of the insecurities you may feel inside.
Students are great for an Artists ego they admire our abilities
and want to be just like us. Most are full of raw talent that
needs a little time and guidance but the odd time you have
someone who wants to go from 0 to fame in one short lesson.
You know the one I’m talking about the “ Just show me the
short cut to doing that, I don’t have time to learn all that basic
stuff ” Imagine with all the talent you may have facing the
scrutiny of someone hoping that you may be the one that can
give them the ability to do something that you have been
working on since you were a child; something that comes as
easy to you as breathing and in 10 easy lessons, please.
So here is to you all you brave souls that face the world of education and
the Arts. Let’s change that cliché to - Those that can teach Do and those
that can’t are grateful for those that can.
Oh yes, did I mention I was an Art teacher?

WE’VE GOT THE KEY !!
That was the exciting message that I was able to pass on to ourcongregation. After holding our services at the Best Western Parkway Innfor 19 years, the Lord has made it possible for us to purchase our ownbuilding at 949 Mohawk Dr. Now begins the work of doing the renovationsthat will be needed to turn this school into a church building.
This reminded me of what takes place in our life as well when wesurrender our lives to Jesus Christ. It is just like getting the key that is goingto open many new and exciting doors. It is what the Bible calls “salvation.”It begins an incredible journey of change.
Our lives begin to take a new shape. This is much like the renovations thatwe will be doing over the next few months. Some things will have to betorn down to make space for future growth. Some walls will have to bepainted and the floors will need to be cleaned and waxed. There will also
be a need for new wiring and plumbing as well as lighting fixtures.
This is just like the changes that take place in our lives after we get the key. TheBible would call this “sanctification.” This is the ongoing changes that take placeas we become fashioned into the image of Christ. Some of these changes take alittle longer than others and it’s important to make sure they’re done well. Itaffects the way we talk, what we enjoy, where we go, and the things we do. Infact, the Bible tells us that the things we used to love are no longer appealing tous.
We hope as a church to have a greater impact upon this city and area by thechanges that we are soon to experience. But we all know that it is not a buildingthat brings about these changes in our personal lives. That only happens as wesurrender our will to God and allow Him to guide our “personal renovations.”
You can find out more about our congregation by calling the office or searching
our web site.
