LETTERS TO THE EDITORAs I travel across Stormont-Dundas- South Glengarry,people talk to me about theneed to get this provinceback on track and to createthe jobs that will allow ourchildren to enjoy a brightfuture. Small businesses

owners are frustrated by the unnecessary regulations

and government forms. The Canadian Federation of

Independent Business identified Ontario employers as

having to face the largest regulation burden in Canada,

costing them more than $11.8 billion in 2013. In

today’s world, our entrepreneurs and employers face

stiff competition from all over the world and

government needs to be a partner, not a roadblock.

Over the past ten years, the world has seen an

significant increase in worldwide consumption of

goods, while Ontario has experienced a loss of over

300,000 manufacturing jobs and a drop of six places to

rank fifteenth in the world’s top manufacturing

nations. Over this same period of time, our average

industrial electricity prices have skyrocketed to more

than double that of our neighbours in Quebec,

Manitoba, and Michigan. Instead of keeping power

rates down to help create jobs in the economy, this

current government has focused on creating jobs in

the power sector itself, willing to have consumers pay

any price to achieve this short-sighted goal.

Earlier this year, I tabled legislation to address issues

that manufacturers are having with the Technical

Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), Bill 61. This

government agency places unnecessary roadblocks in

their way, stifling innovation and their ability to

compete in this very competitive market. By the time

our businesses are able to work through the expensive,

time consuming and unpredictable approval process,

their competitors have already moved on to the

generation of equipment. They need the ability to

adopt new equipment and methods as soon as they

are available if we want to regain our leading position

as the economic engine of Canada.

Bill 61 will create an accountable, public procedure for

adopting new standards or amending existing ones

without delay, to accommodate new knowledge and

innovation. It will also require that the TSSA’s

inspection and safety criteria be made public so that all

businesses and designers will know what standard

they are being held to and to ensure consistency.

Agencies such as the TSSA, must be a partner with

business that encourages growth and allows them to

be competitive. Recently, I heard of a local producer

that experienced so many delays and unnecessary

costs in the installation of a new line, that they moved

the planned second line to a neighbouring jurisdiction.

Equipment that has been approved for installation in

every province and state in North America is being

forced through this expensive and unpredictable

approval process. It’s unnecessary and it has to change

if we are going to re-build Ontario. It’s time for a

government that will actually work and partner with

entrepreneurs and make the necessary changes that

will stimulate the growth needed to generate the good

paying, high-skilled jobs that we want for our children

and our grandchildren.

Jim McDonell

ONELL SAYS IT’S TIME TO

RE-BU

ILD ONTARIO On Labour Day people will gather as they always do

to celebrate the great gains of the past: an 8-hourworkday, a 40-hour week, sick leave, pensions,maternity leave, compensation for workplaceinjuries and so much more. Thanks to the efforts ofa strong united labour movement, and the wageand benefit gains they made, income disparity inCanada decreased steadily during the last half ofthe twentieth century. That was cause for rejoicingthen and it’s reason for hope now.

The currently increasing income disparity is not thedefault. It hasn’t always been, it shouldn’t be now

and we have to correct it for the future’s sake. Changing times bring newchallenges and the challenge we face now is that growing disparity and thesocial ills it brings in its wake. As the gap between the 1% and the rest of us, the99%, grows, workers’ organizations like local labour councils, the Workers’ ActionCentre and the Ontario Federation of Labour are calling for an immediateincrease in the minimum wage. At $10.25 an hour and frozen for three years, thecurrent wage leaves workers 19% below the poverty level. Shame. No oneshould work full time and live in poverty.

In the labour movement, we’re calling for an immediate increase in theminimum wage to $14.00 an hour. This rate would put a worker 10% above thelow income cutoff poverty line. We call further for an automatic annual cost-of-living increase, and the right to a 35-hour work week. Together we have to startto turn the tide that is leaving the poor getting poorer, the rich getting richerand the middle class growingmore insecure daily. This Monday, when wecelebrate the great gains of the past, let’s remember that a fair and equitablesociety is possible and let’s remember that we can’t build that a fair andequitable society without giving working people a fair recompense for theirlabour. Fair is fair. When the price of bread gos up, wages must too. End thefreeze. $14.00 an hour now.

Elaine MacDonaldPresident of the Cornwall & District Labour Council

ELAINE MACDONALD CALLS FOR $14 AN HOUR MINIMUM WAGE

Dear VERY BLUNT PERSON who submitted a definition of CornwallOntario in the URBAN DICTIONNARY(http://www.urbandictionary.com/ search for Cornwall, Ontario)

For your information, Cornwall is a beautiful small town on the majesticSt. Lawrence river, conveniently located on the USA border and one houraway from Montreal and Ottawa, making it ideal logistically. Cornwall hasa vibrant French community, which adds to its charm. It is also home to ahuge population of very talented actors, painters, singers, musicians,writers, etc.

In the summer time, people gather around areas such as Lamoureux Parkwhere a wonderful play area and splash pad is available for the kiddos.Almost every other week-end, big events such as Lift-Off, Ribfest,Waterfest or the Kinsmen Car Show take place at that park, attractingpeople from all over. Our beautiful bicycle path on the waterfront goeson for miles and go through the many conservation areas nearby, whereyou can observe nature at its best.

Cornwall also offers an unparalleled variety of fine dining options for atown of its size. Local places to try while you're here are: Schnitzels, Bar Q,Truffles Burger Bar, Table 21, Moon, The Grind, Eight Zero Zero, TinyTables, Mocktails, J&T Restaurant, Thums Kitchen and the Cline House TeaRoom.

Unfortunately, Cornwall is infested by a small percentage of toxicnegative parasites, such as yourself, whose view of Cornwall is like that ofthe definition you submitted. You bugs are very hard to eradicate. Youpropagate a fasle distorted image of our lovely city to the masses and thedamage you do is vast and go far beyond our town.

If you don't like it, stop bitching and get the hell out of my town.

@ the St. Lawrence AcousticStage in Morrisburg.

A few weeks ago several ladies were shoppingin my store, Sharyn's Pantry. My friend MorrisShaver came in with some of his zucchinirelish he had just made the day before. Itasted a sample of it and it was delicious. Theladies couldn't help but overhear ourconversation about the relish and asked himfor the recipe. Laughing, he said, I had put therecipe in my column a few years previously.The ladies, all sisters, were having a greattime chatting. One of the sisters, Betty, was

visiting from Kapuskasing and I promised I wouldprint the recipe in my column especially for her. Well, Betty, here it is. Ifirst made this recipe in 2003. It makes 5- 16 oz. jars and 1- 8oz. jar. Itis delicious served over a hamburger or hot dog and goes well with anyroast. Of course, we carry all spices and pickling salt needed atSharyn's Pantry.

SHEILA'S ZUCCHINI RELISHINGREDIENTS:NOTE: INSTEAD OF HAND CHOPPING, YOU CAN USE YOUR FOODPROCESSOR TO QUICKLY CHOP UP ALL OF THE VEGETABLES.12 cups of a mixture of green and yellow zucchini (this is about 1 largegreen and 1 large yellow zucchini) 6 cups of chopped onions3 cups of chopped sweet red bell peppers (remove the seeds)3 cups of chopped sweet green bell peppers (remove the seeds)1/3 cup pickling salt4 cups white sugar3 cups white vinegar3 level tbsp. cornstarch2 tsp. ground turmeric2 tsp. celery seed2 tsp. yellow mustard seed

METHOD:NOTE: You can hand chop the vegetables or use your food processor for a finerand much quicker method of chopping. Morris used his food processor and therelish was lovely.-Slice the succhini in half lenghwise and then in half again into quarters. Remove theseeds.-Chop up the zucchini into 1/8" to 1/4" pieces.-Dice the onions.-Seed and core the peppers and chop them up into small pieces.-Place the chopped zucchini, onions and peppers into a large bowl. Sprinkle them withthe pickling salt. Allow them to stand overnight.-The next day, place the veggies in a large colander and rinse, then drain well.Pressing out any liquid through the colander with your hands.-In a large stainless steel pot, add the sugar, vinegar and cornstarch.-Add the drained chopped veggies and the spices.-Place the pot over medium high heat. Stir constantly. Once the mixture comes to aboil, allow the relish to cook for 20 minutes. Stir constantly, to prevent any scorching.-Have your mason jars sterilized and hot. Boil your snap lids and rings for 5 minutes.-Using a canning funnel, fill the hot, sterilized mason jars with the hot relish.-I use a dampened paper towel to wipe the rims of each filled jar before I apply thesnap lid and ring to each jar.-Check that the lids have "popped" to seal, then label and store the jars in a cool, darkplace.

Off to School? MakeSure Your StudentPacks their Insurance

I’m Debbie Villeneuve, your local AllstateInsurance Agent here in Cornwall with someGood Hands Advice for everyday life.

Parents might be surprised at the value of all the items a student takesaway to school, including clothing, laptops and jewelry. Many eventake musical instruments or sporting equipment. Protecting theseitems is important, so consider adding tenant insurance to the list ofitems you give your student as another school year gets underway.

While some students live in dorms on campus, many rent apartmentsand according to Statistics Canada, only 50% of renters have tenantinsurance, which can be a huge mistake. Tenant insurance isinexpensive and covers renters for several unexpected eventsincluding;

• Vandalism and lock replacement;• Leaving water running and flooding the apartment or a neighbour’s apartment;

• Living expenses if the apartment or house is so damaged the student must stay elsewhere while repairs are made;

• Medical expenses if someone is hurt on the property.

If a student is renting with friends, make sure they have their owncoverage and that everyone is named on the lease. If only one personis listed, they will likely be held liable for injuries or damage.

The good news for parents is that their personal home insurancepolicy will likely cover many of their child’s belongings while they arefull-time students. However, young Canadians who are not full-timestudents or who have made a permanent move from their parents’house may need their own coverage. Parents and students shouldalso consider specific insurance on expensive items because somepolicies may include limits to coverage on some big ticket items.

Bottom line - check with your insurance provider to be sure your child’s needsand valuables are fully protected. The student in your life should only have toworry about quizzes and term papers, not how they’ll replace their laptop ifit happens to be stolen.

. Find out more about how you can protect your student’s belongings atwww.goodhandsadvice.ca or you can contact me at 613-933-3512 x5050 or at [email protected]

Continued from cover

Our little area offers quite the selection of fine diningpossibilities. In our sea of dining options, patrons areoften looking for more than the usual suspects. Theyare looking for an experience. Something they canremember. Something that will go beyond thenormalcy of "going out to eat". This, they will find atthe Cline House Tea Room.

The Tea Room at Logan's Gallery has been opened for quite some time. InCornwall, it is known for its charming decor and especially for its decadentdesserts. It has always been there, besides the gallery, offering tasty treats anda wide variety of teas, but now, Mike Logan has taken his passion of cookingand entertaining to a whole new level.

Every two weeks, on a Friday night, the entire square footage at Logan's Galleryis transformed into an enchanting eatery, for the duration of a delectable 5course mouth-watering dining extravaganza. For that evening, the daytimeframing and art business becomes home to enticing smells and delectablefood, much to the area's foodies' delight. The gallery's New England charmpairs neatly with the food tasting as your sight is gracefully entertained by themarvelous collection of framings, paintings and drawings hanging on the walls,while your taste buds are being stimulated by the carefully chosen selection ofdishes prepared by Mike and his sister Judy, served on oh-so-pretty china.Presentation is everything.

"The experience was leisurely and welcoming, and I've never had a meal thatdelicious outside the ones my mother would prepare on the holidays." Said mygood friend Aleta Poulin who attended the last two dinners with me. "I don'tknow how else to say it but mmmmm!" The first dinner we attended had anItalian theme and offered a bottomless pasta bowl and the best tiramisu I'vehad in years. The second dinner had a more of a French theme and featured"coq-au-vin", roasted squash and carrot soup and delectable pies.

The next event will take place on September 13th and is open by invitationonly. If you are one of the lucky people who are within the 6 degrees ofseparation with the Logans, get ready for an Italian night at the gallery. If not,you can always friend me on facebook and I'll see what I can do to get youinvited!

I'm Julia Lucio and I'm out and about.

The first meeting of Focus Art was aresounding success.First we were entertained by MikeMcAnany and then enlightened by ourguest speaker Gerald Swift. Gerald, artistand entrepreneur, inspired us with his

story. From his very beginnings, his evolution through watercolors, acrylics, oils, pastels,pen & ink, pottery, book illustrations, to making movies with the help of today's newesttechnologies, there isn't much that he hasn't dabled with in his journey through the arts.

He quoted an excerpt from "The Lost World" one of his favorite books, "There isadventure all around us" which certainly exemplifies what Gerald's life has been.

A great story teller, he amused us with stories relating to many of his paintings and inspiring us to push our boundaries and explore new venues.With new members and the promise fo a fun year this was a great start to a new season.

Tracy-Lynn and Emily announced an upcoming workshop with charcoal at their OBO Studio and city councillor Elaine Macdonald announcedthat the city has opened a bank account to start the fundraising needed for a future art centre. All good news...

Time to Fall BackIt’s September; thetime for studentsand teachers toreturn to school,routines resumeand a transition

begins. Slowly the cooler weathercreeps in and schedules begin to form asto-do lists, registrations and homework isplanned for. As I am in a schoolenvironment, it is inspiring to see thestudents as I make my way through thecorridors and by the cafeteria. Some areaway from home for the first time, othersare returning and looking forward tograduation, they are looking ahead andtaking steps towards their career ambitions.

I decided to take a night course this year increative writing. I rediscovered the joy ofwriting a few years ago, but haven’tdabbled in the creative form for quite sometime, but I am looking forward to it. Afterwatching my son work diligently on hisfantasy novel and reading his submissionsfor his creative class, I am inspired to meetwith other writing enthusiast and let myimagination wander.

School is not the only thing new on myagenda, as I have also signed up and

committed to at least a few months of hot yoga, andrecently received my reminder that the personaltraining I signed up for will begin in a few short weeks.I will work with one of our students in the Fitness andHealth Promotion program.

Fall is also the time when the TV shows I love to watchreturn with all new episodes. As I have been very busy,I have recently indulged in a little “binge watching” toget caught up. This is the beauty of the DVR, I canwatch back to back episodes and after a non-stopsummer, it is just what I needed. I am now caught upon Arrow, Grey’s Anatomy, The Listener to name a few.

This cooler weather also means a transition in clothes,so although the heavy sweaters are not out yet, it alsomeans I personally packed away the capris, sandalsand summer clothing. I’m not quite ready to saygoodbye to all my favourites, so a slow merge ishappening as bright colours, lightweight pants andskirts re-enter my wardrobe.

As schedules ramp up, it is good to plan for what isahead. I’m taking stock, preparing meals ahead andtrying to stay on top of things. Travel will decrease, andI am sad that I won’t be in Cornwall to celebrate mynephew Josh’s 10th birthday, but I know he will have agreat time with the mobile gaming centre my sisterarranged for him.

I have spoken with several moms who are suddenlybalancing all the schedules for their children as sportsresume, homework is to be completed, lunches mustbe prepared and earlier bedtimes are set. I also knowseveral of my friends are now coping with the absenceof their children as they leave home for post-secondaryeducation. It was a bittersweet weekend for many andhaving experienced it last year, I know it takes someadjustments, but getting that call or text where theytell you about their day, there new teachers, newclassmates and new experiences, you can’t help but beproud of them. Are you happy to see the return toschool and schedules?

When and where did you begin your career?I attended St. Lawrence College here in Cornwall, graduating with adiploma in Graphic Design and Fine Arts and a College Certificate inPhotography. After that I attended Sheridan College where I completed acertification in modeling and related careers.

How did you get into medeling?While at Sheridan I was recruited by an International Top Model Agencyand began modeling in Milan, Italy. Shortly after that I was recruited byBest One Modeling Agency for a contract in Paris, France.

When did you start painting?Actually, while in Paris I was a frequent visitor to the art galleries like theLouvre, the Orsay Museum and the Picasso Museum, loving the culture ofParis, with the fashion designers and photographers and all the beautysurrounding me. Unfortunately though my modeling took up most of mytime and I couldn’t paint as much as I wanted to.

Where did you go next?After Paris I was recruited by Ford Modeling Agency in N.Y.C. and livedthere for 5 years. I loved the excitement of the West Village Art Districtand this along with the artists Salvador Dali, Botticelli and Michael Angelowas a great influence and inspiration on my painting.

After more than a decade away, I returned to my hometown of Cornwalland set up my studio where I love to paint and teach Tai Chi (which Ilearnt while in N.Y.C.)

I exhibited my art at Café Connectionz and the Grind and now have myfirst solo exhibition at TAG Art Gallery. It has taken me almost 20 yearsto accomplish this dream and my show continues until September 13th.So I encourage everyone to come down to see the show titled “From Paristo N.Y.C” - a collection of acrylic paintings which speak about my lifeexperience.

what about the future?I would like to paint larger pieces concentrating more on local people andwould like to do some commission work for local businesses.

Thank you Kevin and we wish you all the best for your future success.

Fall HarvestThis is the time of year where, ifyou’re not careful and you leaveyour car window open, yourneighbour may leave you extrasfrom the garden on your frontseat. Fall harvest brings youeverything from apples andbeans to tomatoes and zucchini.

Farmers’ Markets are bursting with fresh produceas well as canned fruits and vegetables for you to enjoyall season long.

If you’re like me and you didn’t get a chance to get yourgarden in this spring, it isn’t too late to plant lettuce orspinach in containers for fresh salads well into October!Pair these greens with the beets and carrots you canfind either in your garden, at a farmers’ market (or fromthat generous neighbour).

In Cornwall, Prescott Russell and SD&G, there are over80 farms, markets, food shops and producers that useor grow local ingredients. Pick up a Farm Fresh Map atvarious locations in the area and spend a day soondiscovering some of the bounty right here in ourbackyards.

Roasted Vegetables are a great way to take advantageof the harvest with very minimal work. Use a bakingsheet and toss the veggies with olive oil, herbs andseason to taste. I like to keep the vegetables separateso I can use one or two at a time a couple of nights ina row and then use the leftovers for a hearty Roasted

Vegetable Soup.

Roasted Fall Vegetables2-3 lbs assorted vegetables (butternut squash, carrots, parsnips, redonion, zucchini, tomatoes etc.)Extra virgin olive oilSalt PepperAssorted fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano, etc.)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel and cut the vegetables into equalsized pieces, about 1–in/2.5-cm chunks. Toss vegetables separatelyin olive oil in a large bowl with herbs and season with salt andpepper.

Spread the pieces out in a single layer so that the vegetables don'ttouch. (If you need to, use two sheets.)Roast until browned and just tender, 45minutes to 1 hour. If you’re usingvegetables like zucchini and tomatoes,add them 15-20 minutes after theheartier vegetables so they’ll finish atthe same time. Remove and toss withadditional herbs.

*Beets are an amazing addition to theroasted vegetables. If you’re roastingbeets, trim them and wrap them in foiland roast with the other vegetables.

Hi there Ladies, Girls & Guys on thisbeautiful and sun-shiny September day. Ican hardly believe how quickly August haspassed us by. Although it is still "officialy,"Summer until the 21st, it's time to get yourwarmer Fall clothing and footwear out, forthese cooler mornings and evenings.Time to start putting away or (givingaway) your summer clothing and thingsfor another year. (Please donate to themany thrift stores, here in Cornwall.)Thank you.

The Fall colours are starting to show their pretty faces, among the differenttrees and plants at this time of year. They are starting to put on their FallFashion Colours, as we all should be doing. This season's fashion involves"mixing and matching" the many bright colours together with ourwardrobes, along with some pieces of black and white items thrown in forthat "WOW Factor." The contrast is stupendous and by wearing black andwhite it really makes you stand out in a crowd, (That is, if you want to. I maydo this from time to time...you know me. )

Tip of the week: Get your clothing ready by giving them a quick "tumble"in the dryer. I do this with a lot of my clothes that have been hanging in mycloset for a season. They don't need to be cleaned, just "freshened up" a bit.
