Introducing the Launch of PROJECT DOMINOIf you are looking for an expressive, spontaneousand a good wholesome artistic adventure, thenProject Domino is for you. The fun of it all is thatyou arrive in wonder, you are then guided byaward-winning, multi-media artist, expressionistand coach, Carole Jeghers, to not only share anincredible experience but to also come away withyour masterpiece. This is exactly what happened atthe November Focus Art meeting.

How does Project Domino work? Everyone startswith the same rectangular shape on which thereare two squares, one black and one white indiptych formation (one art work made up of twoparts).

Then it’s playtime. Participants are invited to selectany three colours. The timer starts. On Carole’s signal, the artists begin to create fast, enthusiastic, flowing,rhythmic images. Moments later on the signal, participants are asked to stop, rotate their work and startagain at this new angle; this is repeated until the work has been rotated 360 degrees.

On stop (hard to obey) the enthusiasts step back, self-critique and are given one more minute to fine-tune.Imagine this work of art has been actualized in seven intense minutes. The artists are left surprised andsurpassed by their own creativity.

In the end each individual artwork is joined in a fantastic mural formation like dominoes and can beinterchanged endlessly thus recreating a new communal artistic composition.Much like every individual forms families, friendships, and communities in perpetual motion.

If you wish to live this amazing and amusing Project Domino in your schools, communities, businesses, clubs or events, CaroleJeghers invites you www.carolejeghers.com or email her at [email protected]

In the top photo you have Focus Art members enjoying the all-new Project Domino with Carole Jeghers.

Letters & OpinionBRIAN LYNCH IS DISPLEASED WITH THESENATE - Dear Seeker, The ongoing Senateexpenses scandal and subsequent cover upby the PMO is further proof that theunaccountable, archaic Senate of Canadawith its culture of entitlement should beabolished as Canada’s NDP has longproposed. An appointment to the CanadianSenate is like winning the cash for life lottery.

Senators earn $135,200 a year as a base salary with generous benefitsand expense accounts, serve until age 75, and sit in the Senate for anaverage of 71 days a year. The total annual cost for Canadian taxpayersto maintain the Senate is over $92.5 million. The Senate, which wasestablished in 1867 to defend the interests of the wealthy, is useless,undemocratic, unaccountable, and costly. We do not need appointedparty hacks with their sense of entitlement to write or rewriteCanadian legislation. Nor is the Senate needed to protect provincialinterests which is done by the elected M.P.s and the provincialgovernments. We especially do not need an elected Senate incompetition with the elected House of Commons. An elected Senatewould be a recipe for political gridlock as they have in the UnitedStates. The Government of Canada, in consultation with the provincesand territories, should hold a national referendum on the abolition ofthe Senate. If the majority of Canadians voted to abolish the Senate,then it would be up to the federal and provincial governments toamend the Canadian constitution accordingly. It’s time for theoutdated, discredited, unaccountable, patronage-corrupted Senate togo. As Jack Layton often reminded us: “Don’t let them tell you it can’tbe done.” Yours truly, Brian Lynch.

GUY LAUZON SAYS HONOUR CANADA'SMEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM - I can’tthink of any segment of our society thatcommands more respect among Canadiansthan men and women of the Canadian ArmedForces. These brave citizens have sacrificed –and continue to sacrifice – in the service oftheir country. On November 11, constituentsacross Stormont - Dundas - South Glengarry

will demonstrate that respect at various cenotaphs. On RemembranceDay I encourage every man, woman and child in SDSG to honour thedetermination and sacrifices of our brave men and women of theCanadians Armed Forces both past and present. MP Guy Lauzon.

Marriage Isn’t As Hard As It Seems

Marriage: It’s what happens after the wedding. Marriageis the life you build together as husband and wife whenthe hoopla of being “bride” and “groom” dies down. Oncethe celebration is over and everyone has sobered up,what you’re left with is a blank slate waiting for yourfuture to be drawn out. How you fill that slate is up toyou. Everyone always seems to say “Marriage is hardwork” but maybe it’s not so hard. Maybe all you need is

a little creativity and some give and take to turn that blankslate into a wonderful masterpiece.

Every relationship, whether it’s marriage, common-law, or simply a seriouspartnership assumingly has an abundance of love, trust, and faithfulness but thereare three other, not-so-secret, ingredients that the best relationships also have:Laughter, dedication, and compromise. When you add these things in it’s as thoughyou’ll have the icing on top of the cake.

When you marry someone you can laugh with you’ll be able to smile every day. Evenafter a fight, if your spouse can make you smile, then you’re on the right track. Being with someone who makes you feel good and who you can be silly with, takesaway the pressures from the outside world for that small moment in time. It’s nothard but it seems as though some relationships start losing the laughter once they’vebeen together for a while. Get it back. Never stop being silly together and never letthe world get so hard that you forget to laugh. Your and your spouse’s laughtershould me the music that fills the walls of your home.

Being dedicated to your marriage doesn’t mean that you can’t have a life outside ofthe home. It means that you are dedicated to working on your relationship andalways doing things to make the other person happy. Showing the other person youthought about them that day or doing a chore around the house you know the otherperson hates doing. It’s really the little things that prove how much you care and howdedicated you are. It’s not about extravagant vacations or expensive date nights(although those are nice from time to time) but it’s about showing your partner youlove them, every day. It’s about telling them you care and are committed, throughways other than just words.

Compromise is such a key that so many couples miss out on. Sure there will alwaysbe times when you’d rather stay in your pajamas than go to breakfast with the in-laws, or maybe you’d rather watch a Sex and the City Marathon instead of the SuperBowl. But doing things together that mean a lot to your partner strengthens yourrelationship and when you look back on the little things you guys did for each other,it will create a deeper bond. Just make sure it’s not always just one of you doing thecompromising. You both need to put in the effort for it to work, or else the oneputting in all the effort may start to get resentful. This truly needs to be about giveand take and the more you do it, the easier it gets.

Like everything in life that is important to us, marriage will test us. If it’s worth it, you’llstick around and if it’s just too hard then maybe you’ll walk away, and that’s okay too.Of course there are always some instances where neither husband nor wifeunderstands why their marriage fell apart, and sometimes it’s events beyond theircontrol which forced them to separate. But in most cases, it’s really just about keepingthe love alive and knowing that your marriage is worth it. Sure, it may get tough butit’s not HARD work to paint that slate. After all, they tell us that if we find a job we love,then we’ll never have to work a day in our lives; so why can’t this also apply to theperson we marry and the future we paint together?

My HalloweenAdventuresI visited Cannamore Orchard thisevening. It wasn't the easiest thing tofind, as I did not have a GPS. It wasslightly expensive when comparedto most of the other Halloween

expeditions. However, it was well worth the cost!There were terrors of every sort at the creepy old orchard.From two very different mazes, to a village featuringwitches, ghouls and coffins and a terrifying hay-ride lead bytractor through the brush, the night was full of screams interror and I will definitely be visiting again next year!

McMaze was amazing. It had been years since the lasttime I had ventured there. The expansion that took placeover time was astounding! There were four out of five mazesrunning, and their wagon ride was incredible. We had a 20minute walk through their haunted forest, which terrified us.There were plenty of screams and my companions stayedattached to me looking for protection from the horrors wefaced.

The final night of myhaunted adventureswas spent at

Cornwall’s Historic Jail and at theFright Nights haunted walk, leadby the Grim Reaper across thestreet. The jail was frightening! Ihad been in there before duringthe day and I had not beenunnerved at all. However, giventhe teens chained to the wallsscreaming for their lives, andmore creepy aspects sprawledout through the entire maze, I wasactually shaken when I walked out. Mycompanions also were unnerved, but myson did surprisingly well, having waved at many of the teens, until heinsisted on being carried.

The haunted walk was affordable--$2 got you in-- and they alsoaccepted canned food for charity as payment. At the end of a short nicewalk along the bike path, there was a corn maze set up on theMocktails patio beside the civic center. It was fantastically done and Ireally hope they do it again next year.

Overall, my haunted experiences were great and were followed by anight, later in the week, filled with trick-or-treating through the town.Now candy fills our bellies and the terror tingling nights are over foranother year.

Achieving Personal Goals

November is here andall I keep wondering is“Where did Octobergo?” It was such a busymonth. My time with my

personal trainer at SLC comes to anend, and I will miss it. Although I was uncertainhow successful I would be; twice a week, I’d donthe fitness gear and head to the gym. I knew Ihad weak arms and my goal was to tone mymuscles. A major part of the program wasworking with weights, something I always shiedaway from.

In the end, after 9 weeks, I can see a majordifference, particularly in my arm strength. Thiswas apparent when I needed to move a heavystorage bin to a height that was over my head.With no help in sight, I was able to do so. That isnot all though, as I went through my training,the weights increased in increments and extracircuits were added. There was an overheadweight lifting pull that I used to need assistancewith, and at my final class I was able to do so onmy own.

These little triumphs really made me proud. Inever could do a chin up, in fact some of myworst childhood memories was staring at thatbar and praying that I would finally find success.

Well it took about thirtysome years, but I finally can say Ican do it. The method is a bit different as we use an exercisemachine, but I was able to so in 12 reps. Pushups wereanother struggle for me, but in the end that improvedsignificantly, as did the plant and several other strengthmoves.

I always knew I had strong legs, but the exercises gave meeven more strength and some guidance on how toimprove. I am still blown away that I could do a leg press of246 pounds and back leg pulls of 80 pounds each leg.

I am not the only one who felt the difference. Sure wesometimes whined on our way up orafterwards, but in all, we feel stronger,fitter and motivated.

Congrats to the class of Fitness & HealthPromotions at St. Lawrence College-Kingston campus. We appreciate thetime and effort, as for my trainer KrisKlith, well I know sometimes I was a bittoo talkative, asked a lot of questionsbut I enjoyed every minute and willcarry this experience with me.Hopefully I won't lose the momentum.

The Eastern Ontario Training Board is excited toannounce the launch of a new project calledEmployerOne. The project will provide employers inStormont, Dundas & Glengarry and Prescott-Russell theopportunity to identify their occupational and skillrequirements through an online survey. The data gatheredfrom the survey will be summarized by the Eastern Ontario

Training Board and shared with employers, employerassociations, educators and service providers in order to develop a community action plan.

The information gathered through the EmployerOne Survey will provide the communitiesof SD&G and P-R with valuable information about the current workforce. The results willimprove the balance between labour market supply and demand, which in turn will supportlocal economic and social development. Employers will have access to the human resourcesrequired to develop their business, while individuals are provided with a betterunderstanding of the local workforce requirements, which will support job search, careerdevelopment and career decision making.

The EmployerOne Survey is now available for employers to complete online at the linkbelow. Employers who complete the survey between November 2013 and January 2014 willbe entered in an early bird draw and have the chance to win a ‘dinner for two’ prize valuedat $150. Winners in SD&G will have the choice to experience either the European flavours ofSchnitzels or the fine dining of Table 21. Winners in P-R will have the opportunity to choose

between grill and bar delights of Stephanie’s or the steak and seafood haus of Stoneriver Dining.Additionally, all participants will be entered into a draw for the grand prize of an Apple i-Pad Mini,16GB. http://fluidsurveys.com/s/employeronesurvey2014/

SAT NOV 9SUNDAY NOV 10 Flanders Field

by John McCrae

In Flanders Field the poppies blowbetween the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skythe larks, still bravely singing, flyscarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days agowe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

in Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:to you from failing hands we throwthe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who die

we shall not sleep, though poppies growin Flanders Field.

The SEEKER Teamexperiencedan OFFICE MUGGINGlast Tuesday byVariety 104.5


What a nice way to start your day! Bakea batch of lemon and blueberry muffinsand brew a pot of coffee. This recipe isone of my favourites. If you want tofreeze some muffins, wrap each muffinin saran wrap, then place the muffins ina ziploc bag to freeze. The muffins willbe just like freshly baked once you thawthem. Just warm it in your microwavefor a minute, then enjoy!

DELICIOUS LEMON ANDBLUEBERRY MUFFINS

This recipe will make 12 muffins. You can double it if you wish.

INGREDIENTS:1 -1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour1/2 cup granulated sugar2- 1/2 level tsp. baking powder1/4 tsp. fine salt1 extra large egg3/4 cup milk1/3 cup butter, melted1 cup fresh blueberries

TOPPING:2 tbsp. granulated sugar1 tbsp. freshly grated lemon zest

METHOD:-Preheat your oven to 400degrees F. Place paper muffinliners to fit in a 12 cup muffintin.-Sift the flour, granulated sugar,baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.-Measure, then melt the butter in your microwave. Cool slightly.-In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then stir in the milk and melted butter.-Make a well in the centre of the sifted dry ingredients. -Pour the beaten egg mixture into the dry ingredients.-Stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated with the liquid ingredients.-Gently fold in the blueberries.-I use a stainless steel scoop to evenly fill each muffin cup with a perfectlyrounded top of batter. Filling 3/4 full. We sell these handy scoops at my store,Sharyn's Pantry.-Mix the granulated sugar and lemon zest and sprinkle this evenly over the 12muffins.-Bake the muffins in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. Position the oven racksecond from the bottom for evenly baked muffins.-To test for doneness, gently touch the top of the muffin, if it springs back, it isdone. You can also use a cake tester, insert in the centre of the top of the muffin.If it comes out clean, the muffin is done.

HONEY BUTTERThis is so easy to make and simply the best spread for any muffin.Stir equal amounts of room temperature butter with liquid honey. This will keepfor a week or so. Spread it on any muffin for a real treat. ENJOY!

Three Steps You Can Take toPrepare Your Car for Winter. By Debbie Villenuve

A big part of being a car owner and a driver is makingsure your vehicle is safe to drive no matter when youplan to have it on the road. We all know the weather inCanada can be very unpredictable and fall oftentransitions into winter before we’re ready.

Canadian drivers are often caught off guard when bad weather hits, and manyare unprepared when inclement weather finally does arrive. According toAllstate data, December typically sees the highest number of collision claims incomparison to the other winter months. Drivers can protect themselves by preparing for the winter months while theweather is still good and the roads are still clear.

Here are a few timely reminders on preparing for bad weather this fall, so thatyou can stay safe on the roads this winter.

1. Schedule a Check-up: Autumn is a perfect time for your mechanic to checkyour battery fluid levels, battery posts and cable connectors. Bad connectionscan keep your car from starting. Replace worn windshield wipers and ensureyour defroster and heater are working properly to keep visibility clear.

2. Shop for Snow Tires: Snow tires grip the ice and road at coldertemperatures better than all-season tires, and also have deeper tread patternsto push through more snow and slush as the tire rotates. If you do purchasesnow tires, get a complete set. It’s important to have four of the same type oftire on your vehicle. An advantage of looking into purchasing tires during theautumn means you’ll have the chance to shop around for a set that is best foryour car and your budget.

3. Assemble an Emergency Kit: During the winter, blizzards can come out ofnowhere. In the event that you become stranded on the roads during a storm,it’s best to have a winter safety kit in the trunk that includes a warm blanket,flashlight, gloves, boots, flares, a good ice scraper, washer fluid, water and non-perishable foods. Take the time to prepare an emergency kit for your car beforethe chance of bad weather arrives.

These three tips can go a long way in helping to ensure you safely get throughthe coming winter months on our roads. If you’re interested in learning more about being safe on the roads thiswinter, visit allstate.ca or feel free to contact me at 613-933-3512 or [email protected].

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS

As the beauty of autumn fades away, and the daysshorten, many of us Creatives will start to feel a bitstagnant. With snow on the horizon, it may excitesome, but November really is that weird in-between month where the beauty of nature –inspiration to so many of us – can’t be relied on.

Here is my approach to dealing with this month:

Fill in the blanks.

Like a colouring book,this month serves as anopportunity to use ourart as nature-in-our-control. We can producebright, lively, happypieces that will help tobalance the blah of themonth.

It doesn’t mean that youneed to paint landscapes– I’ve painted very few ofthose. I’m referring tofilling in the blanks ofinspiration, by creatingyour own. Try somethingnew. Throw some paintaround. Mix somemediums you normallywouldn’t. Give yourself a weekend pass on doing your normal creatingand create something exciting – something raw, where there is littlethought and lots of emotional drive. Create something with loud musicon, a big glass of your favourite beverage, and surround yourself with atleast one or two other Creatives.

on If you have kids, you’re in luck – they are so much more creative than most of usgrown ups. Even the uncreative ones can take off when given a pre-paintedcanvass (black or blue, or any colour they love), and then asked to use theirfingers, or a stick, or to paint a dream. With music on and eyes away, they willget creating and I promise, it will inspire you to do the same.

Patrick Guindon is a local Creative. He is a primary school teacher, andhas made lots of creative things. You can follow him on Facebook(www.facebook.com/patrickguindonart) and on Twitter @123patrickg.

Try this: paint some blobs and shapes. Then, use a sharpie to turn them intowhatever catches your fancy! These blobs became aliens for me

What better way to beat the November bluesthan hands on activities in photography or oilstick painting.

Wednesday November 6 at their regular monthlymeeting members of Focus Art explored theamazing world of oil sticks, not to be confused withoil pastels. Members were elated by the versatility ofthe medium, which evoked the creative spirit ineach. “This is great,” exclaimed Linda Geisel as shemanoeuvred the beautiful colours. Not one of us

arrived at the same product but through the enthusiasticguidance of Carole Jeghers, artist and art instructor, wediscovered the pleasures of art play. “This is my first real artworkshop” said self-taught Moïse Chartier Lasate, “and I had somuch fun”.

Across the hall, a group concentrated on the possibilities of theircamera with Don Mitchell offering technique and artisticguidance. Members were then invited to put to practice whatthey had discussed.It’s always a good time to enjoy sweets and Adèle Constantineautried her skills at gluten and sugar free cookies. Well done.

Hi there everyone for anotherweek of reading Cornwall'smost favorite andinformational paper, theSeeker. Booyah!!! What aWeek!!! I did a lot of Smiling.

My friend Isable Comeausuggested that John and Igo to the "Haunted Jail" and"Lamoureaux Park Walk,"with her, last Monday

evening. It was a Blast and ahalf for us. The students and voluteers did a

marvelous job of make-up and costumes. I have to admit Iscreamed out twice and had many gasps throughout thewalk in the jail and the stroll in the park. Mocktails hadmarshmallows and hotdogs readied for the public to cookover an open fire. A nice, warm way to end the evening.

I also had the chance of dressing up at four different places,for three different nights, last Thursday, Friday and Saturday.I took on that Chance and Challege. If you know me by nowyou knew I would. It all started with having to "dress up" tohelp out my eldest daughter, Melinda and my fourgrandkiddies. I had to help get them ready and was incharge of handing out the Halloween Goodies. I decided todress up in the 70's style. It was comfortable and it wasn'ttoo scarey or sexxyfor the little onesand or my eldestgrandson, Lincoln. Ididn't want to scarehim in any way,shape or form. I thenhad to go back homeand decide what towear for Halloween

Night itself. I settled on a"Spanish Lady in Red." I feltbeautiful in this red and blacksatin and lace dress. I looked"Bella" in it, with my very tall,black hair, with a red rose and allthe *bling* .Of course I, alsowore my shiny, red-rubied, 6inch high heels with this. I had afun night with my friend, AnnieBouchard at theGlengarrian Pub.

We didn't WINanything, but theFun we shared wasall that matteredthat night.

The next evening Ihad to dress again togo to the Vu NightClub to listen to'Above the Violet'. Alive, Cornwall rockband, that my partner, John Listerproduces. He was a Pharoah, King of Egypt (Cornwall) and Yes, I was hisSpanish Queen!!! (Same dress, yes, but, different crowd, differentvenue.) On Saturday night, it was my best friend, Isabelle's birthday atthe Glengarrian. I had to "dress up," yet again, but into somethingcompletely different...John, the same Pharoh, but me - I was a LadyPirate with a cutlass, pirate hat and all my *blingy* booty. An eveningto remember.Enjoying Good Times with Good Friends. Listening andDancing to Good Music.

What more could I ask for??? Nothing!!! Life Is Meant To Be Lived. SoLive, I Say!!! Have Lots of Fun, Laugh A Lot, Dance Every Day and BeKind To One Another!!!

Pay It Forward has made me "Fan of the Week," once again. I love thatI have been honored and mentioned for something I truly Believe inand have done all of my life. Please Pay It Forward, if only in a smallway, today or tomorrow or when you are able. Thank you from me,Positively Marlene.

Until next week...Keep Giving....If Only a Smile...Marlene Baker of www.fashionography.ca

In Praise of Older WomenRecently I have found myself attracted to the stories ofolder women. Whether it is my own age that drives me

there or simply that older women are interesting, I haveyet to decide. What I do know for sure is that all of us are going to age and

we have a say in how this aging will happen. And so I write this to share some ofwhat I am observing, to explore my own journey of getting older and to share alittle of the wisdom I am picking up along the way.

Choose Your Role Models CarefullyI enjoy older women. I like their humanity and I love their stories. There is adeeper sense of wisdom beneath those wrinkles and grey hair. And yes, like you,I have noticed that not all older women (and men) are people I would choose tohang-out with. And so it is that in our own journey of growing older, I suggestwe choose role models who inspire us. Maya Angelou comes to mind for me.Now is her late eighties, this is a woman who continues to teach andshare herstories with a self-deprecating way that is humorous and wise.

I also watched a brief film on YouTube the other day, Fabulous Fashionistas,about six older women, average age 80. In sharing their lives several thingsbecame obvious. First, each of these women had a sense of purpose, whetherthat was continuing to work, having a passion, or promoting a cause. As I watchmy family members and some of my friends age, I realize that growing oldhappens quickly when there is nothing to keep you engaged, a reason to throwyour feet on the cold floor each morning.

Secondly, each of these women had a sense of style, even flare. They embraced a “the hellwith it” attitude that spoke of caring little for what others think or do, and simply showingup the way you are and want to be. I love that. Break all the rules, the way you aresupposed to act like because someone in society said that older women should not wearminiskirts or jeans, have long hair or drink beer in public.

Thirdly, they were active. Despite knee and hip replacements, daily exercise was a must.Dance, running, yoga, whatever it took to keep the muscles and bone moving; use it orlose it.

Yes, I loved these women.

You Know BestWhether you are 23, 45, 69 or 83, today is the day to decide what aging looks like for you.My suggestion – don’t settle. By that, I mean disregard the expectations of others anddecide on what is perfect for you. Set your intentions around what you truly want ratherthan what you think you ‘should’ be doing.

We are entering an era where more and more of us will be growing old together. At 63, Imay be closer than some of you. Perhaps that’s why I find myself looking for those rolemodels at the moment and making some decisions about aging with grace.

I am learning that age is largely about attitude. I have watched friends and family assumethat they were no longer valuable and choose to step away. It saddens me to see them,disengaged and growing older with each moment. I have also observed the opposite,those women who continue to ‘kick ass’ regardless (I won’t name them here but you knowwho you are). They are artists, gardeners, writes, dancers, and most importantly, they arealive. Aging for them seems to be at a stand still.

And so I say to all of you, women of all ages, and men if you choose to join in, it is time forus to celebrate:• to be enlivened by life and never put down• to live with purpose and never give up• to be inspired and inspire others• to dress for YOU and disobey the rules• to play with your inner child and never grow up• to choose your path, what’s perfect for you, and turn a deaf ear to

‘they said’• to work and play as you choose rather than being the norm• to re-fire rather than re-tire when the time comes.

Final ThoughtsAs one of the women in Fabulous Fashionistas noted, ageism is pervasive insociety; the focus on youth and all that goes with it lingers. Reality tells us thatolder women are quickly becoming the majority. I say, let’s not be the silentmajority!

If you want this attitude to change, be part of the change. If you don’t know how,find some role models to inform you. If you have retired, re-fire, identify a newproject or cause, re-ignite your passion. Most importantly live large, be bold, andbe YOU!

y Organizing A FrontEntrance And Mudroom Front Entrance And ClosetFirst impressions are hard to ignore when youmeet someone or when you enter someone’shome. Consequently, the entrance to yourhome must always be tidy and presentable. Ifyou enter your home and you feel good - not

stressed or overwhelmed - then it’s likely your guests willfeel good too.• You must be able to hang guests’ coats in the front closet. If you have

a long rod and things on the floor are piled as high as the rod, install cube shelving stacked along the side.

• Keep only the “in-season” coats in the closet. Keep “out-of-season” coats in another closet, or in a bin somewhere else in the home.

• Consider an over the door organizer for gloves, scarves, etc. with nice labels.

• Display an umbrella stand.• Place a bench for people to sit down on when they remove or put on

their footwear.• Choose a color for the walls that is pleasing to the eye.• Consider installing a lamp on a timer, so the space is always well lit for

you and for guests.

• Don’t leave the mail at the front door, deal with it right away.

• Consider hanging a hall mirror to spread light and make the entrance feel larger. It’s a last minute resource to ensure nothing is stuck in yourteeth before you greet your guests or leaving the home.

Mudroom (Back Entrance)A mudroom is the space most commonly use by the whole family. This isplace to hang seasonal coats and remove boots and overshoes. You’llprevent tracking in mud and water drippings from show or rain, and keepfrom cluttering up the main entrance.

A mudroom should have:• A bench for people to sit down on and remove or put on their

footwear.• Hooks on which to hang wet clothing, and a closet for dry jackets and

coats.• Shelves or cupboards and containers to hold small items, like mittens,

hats, and gloves.• A key holder (put a tag on keys you do not use often so that you’ll

remember what they’re for).• A plastic doormat to contain wet or dirty footwear.• As a decor, a grouping of pictures the family likes.• A display of mementos on a shelf or storage cupboard.• A welcome sign or seasonal wreath on the door.

Other Purposes• A powder room for adults and children, which will keep them from

tracking dirt through your house to use the bathroom.• If near a pool, a shower and area for pool cleaning supplies.• A shared space with the washer and dryer as part of the laundry room.• An area for pets with various supplies or canned goods.• A potting area, with sink, counter, and storage space for garden

supplies.Marie can be reached at 613-936-6873 www.workeasysolution.com

FILM FESTIVAL BOUND...and beyond!Despite multiple setbacks over the months, Dr. Paul's biographicaldocumentary film on brain cancer, named "the test of a man"(www.testofaman.com) is finally completed. The final segment of this"David and Goliath" story about overcoming life's adversities wasfilmed this past weekend in the Ottawa region at the CanadianMuseum of Civilization's theater whereby Dr. Paul was involved atransformation challenge.

Now that the film's final editing has been completed by localproducer Shaun Ryan Savard (www.playmakerstudios.com) the filmhas been submitted into multiple film festivals on both sides of theborder as well as to key people in Hollywood and Toronto as well asat the prestigious "AFM" (www.americanfilmmarket.com)

This project stems from Dr. Paul's desire to make brain cancer betterknown, understood andappreciated throughoutNorth America....andbeyond. Dr. Paul has also recentlybeen approached byHollywood producers to"upgrade" his documentaryshort into a full lengthfeature film but as hestated to this paper..."allthese things have to takeplace in their proper order,one cannot have the cart infront of the horse andexpect results". He's thusbidding his time meantimealigning his ducks but willconsider transitioning thedocumentary short into afull blown film provided thecore elements of the storyremain factual.
