Did you know there is a Shaman in the City?

What is shamanism?Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that combines meditation with focused intention to heal and grow. Shamanism is a way of life that may utterly transform the one who practices it. In shamanic cultures, the word "Shaman" means "the one who sees in the dark "or "the one who knows. Through processes such as soul retrieval, hypnotic past life regression, ceremony and rites of passage the Shaman works directly with Spirit in the healing process – as indigenous healers have done for centuries.

What are the Shamanic students saying?“Shamanism to me is a gift ... the gift of Freedom, the gift of Love, the gift of finding Oneself...and more… while experiencing the true magic in life.” Lorraine

“Shamanism to me is the path home. Being a Shaman is being in hyper-awareness mode – the knowledge and trust that what comes is.” Claudine

“Being a Shaman allows me to connect with my inner guide, with nature and with spirit to shed the past, be in the present and be the bridge for others. It’s allowing what is.” Rosanne

Who is the Shaman in the City?Josée Larski is the Shaman in our city. Josée is a Doctor Of

Homeopathy, Hypnotherapist, Yoga Teacher and an Ordained Minister. She has been guiding group workshops and individual

sessions for over 15 years. Her gift is to give you a strong sense of presence. Once you experience being fully in the moment, you have the potential to see and to change. Create the life you want and experience the magic of life every day!

MORRISBURG GOES LEASH FREEby Bob Sloan

Recently the Cornwall Dog ParkAssociation committee visitedMorrisburg’s “off-leash” dog parkto see how they have beenmaking out since their opening last August. We had a chance to speakto a few of its patrons, while allowing our own dogs to try out the newdigs. The park officially opened last August, and after speaking withseveral of the dog owners present, it seems to be unanimous that thepark has become the hub that it was meant to be.

Everyone we spoke to is quite pleased with the facility, and frequentsit on a regular basis. Obviously it’s been so busy that organizers havesectioned off a large area to regain worn-out grass, and give it achance to grow. The temporary fencing does not impede your parkvisit – it just guides you to a different area. Our team sees this as animportant finding, and we have some idea of how to prevent overusage once we build our park.

“We see visitors from all the surrounding communities includingCornwall, and when you build one there, we will visit you too”, says onelocal patron. “There is very little that could be done to improve thewell-thought-out park, except maybe some benches inside the parkfor dog owners”, mentioned another dog patron.

There appears to be quite a bit of interest from Cornwall, especiallywhen you notice all the local sponsorship stones purchased from ourcity businesses. These stones are handsomely engraved and areoffered in several sizes depending on your donation. The smallerbricks appear to be of more interest to private donors. Since theseparks operate year round, and offer great exposure to tourists, itmakes good advertising sense to invest this way.

We found their community board current, as it mentioned manyactivities and promoted local service groups too, which is a great wayto keep a community connected. The rules were clearly posted, andeven the reminder bags to pick up after your dog were well stocked. Isaw several people drop change in the donation box, which helpscover the ongoing expenses for the park.

Because they have established two separate “off-leash” areas, therewas no known confrontation yet between dogs, which is always aconcern when socializing our canine friends. This is the main purposeof an off-leash park: it creates an opportunity for a dog to learn how tobe with other dogs, and humans. The end result is a much calmer andobedient dog. A good park should offer this option to separatesmaller dogs to avoid squabbles between the extreme sizes. Failing tohave this could increase the risk of serious injury to your dog, simplyby playing too rough or predatory drift (which is where the pack giveschase to a target dog). Morrisburg has provided this service withsignage that is clearly posted for dogs under 30 pounds to use thesmall dog area.

Now the big questions are: Do dog owners forget to pick up after theirdog? Are they not buying their dog tags, or getting the appropriatevaccinations? Are there issues of irresponsible owners? I would tendto think the answer is yes. However, I would bet my money on the factthat these issues are slowly being corrected now that the park is inplace where owners can network with one another to improve theunderstanding of the responsibilities that come with owning a dog.

Congratulations to all of those who were involved in setting up aterrific leash-free park. Well done so far with how you are running it, aswe learned from those who are using it.

Our team may not have a park yet, but we are well on our way insetting one up for our community, and your effort is an importantmodel for us to present to our city.

The start time is 7:30am, andadmission is only $10. Call Julie at Economic Development (613-933-0074) to purchase your tickets, and call soon because only200 are available.

Ontario By-Election! Dalton McGuinty and the Liberals will tryto get a majority government thanks to an Ontario PC MPPretiring. Elizabeth Witmer of Kitchener-Waterloo is steppingdown, and depending on the outcome, this could change thebalance of power at Queen's Park. The recent budget was mademore fair, because McGuinty had to negotiate with the NDP. Aminority government and NDP vision helped ODSP recipients andhelped protect thousands of day care spaces. If it wasn't for a

minority government and the NDP, these improvements to the budgetnever would have happened. A majority Liberal government would bedetrimental to many in the province. There is still much work that needs tobe done with the budget. For example, Ontario is dead last in wage growth,and we still need a job creation tax credit!

Lauzon claims he is undecided on motion that could re-open the abortion debate! Lauzon says he wants to talk with constituents before making a decisionto vote in favour of a motion that would likely re-open the abortion debate. Of course this is a decisive issue, some people are in favour of it, and some people are not.This is a cop-out on Lauzon's part. Methinks it likely Lauzon will vote in favour of this motion.

National Day of Mourning! The annual National Day ofMourning took place, hosted by the Cornwall and DistrictLabour Council, on April 27th at Lamoureux Park. This is aday of remembrance for workers who died in the workplace,and the event promotes workers’ safety. This same weekDalton McGuinty metaphorically spit in the face of injuredworkers by appointing Tory MPP, Elizabeth Witmer, to behead of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).Witmer has been nothing short of a hostile opponent of theWSIB and its objectives. This calculated decision byMcGuinty to achieve a majority government comes at theexpense of workers who need the WSIB.

Naturally Delicious ... with the Health Nut CHOOSE A SAFE

SUNSCREENWhen shopping for sunscreen, the myriad ofbottles and tubes jamming store shelves canleave even the savviest consumer puzzled.What's the difference between UVA andUVB radiation? What's behind those long,unpronounceable ingredient names? And

does it really matter which sunscreen you buy?

In a word, yes! Some products do work better than others. What'smore, even some sunscreens claiming to be "natural" may containtoxic, possibly disease-causing ingredients.

UVA and UVB: Are You Protected?

Two types of ultraviolet radiation from the sun affect our skin: UVAand UVB rays. UVB rays are important for their role in helping the skinproduce immunity-protecting vitamin D, but overexposure causessunburn.

According to the American Cancer Society, a sunscreen labeled SunProtection Factor (SPF) of 55, is less than two percent more effectivethan one labeled SPF 30. Higher SPF varieties may also contain morepossibly harmful chemicals.

While all commercial sunscreens protect against UVB, not all blockUVA rays. This form of radiation causes tanning more than burningand is linked to premature aging of the skin and skin cancer (J investDermatol 2010; Epub). Sunscreens that offer UVA protection are oftenlabeled "broad-spectrum", although the level of protection is difficultfor the consumer to determine since it is not reflected by the SPFvalue.

To further complicate matters, the testing used to determine SPFvalues is imperfect. According to researchers, the instruments used in theprocess have limited precision (Skin Pharmacol Physiol 2010,23:201-12). Evenwhen ratings are accurate, the average user applies sunscreen at a quarter ofthe concentration used in lab testing, hence making it less effective than thenumber on the bottle implies (J Am Acad Dermatol 2010;62;218-22).

Oxybenzone

Oxybenzone is readily absorbed into the skin, in fact, one of its roles insunscreen is to enhance penetration of other ingredients. Center for DiseaseControl studies found Oxybenzone in the urine of 97% of people who used ittopically. Oxybenzone is an endocrine disrupter, a chemical that acts like ahormone and disrupts normal hormonal functions (Environ Health Perspect2008;16:893-7). One recent study showed that fish exposed to oxybenzone haddecreased reproductive ability (Aquat Toxicol 2008;90:182-7). This ingredientcan also cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

Zinc Oxide And Titanium Dioxide

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are minerals that act as blockers as they reflectUV rays away from the skin, unlike chemical blockers that absorb UV rays. Theyare touted as safe sunscreen options because they are not absorbed into theskin, and they very effectively protect against both UVA and UVB rays.

SPINAL COLUMN with Dr. Paul Poirier


The arts is something that we, at the Local Seeker, dearlypromote and support. Sports have a tremendous amountof visibility in this city, it seems. Arts on the other hand, areoften overlooked.

Our calendar of events tries to include as many arts relatedvenues as possible, and there are many priceless finds in it!This was the case with St.Joseph's Secondary School'sinterpretation of "West Side Story" being performed nowthrough May 5th at the old General Vanier auditorium.

I was expecting a high school musical. I was expecting an amateurish rendition ofa famous play, sung over pre-recorded tracks and barely bearable. I was expectingthe room to be filled with bias parents who have no clue about real talent sincethey see their kids as being the next Canadian Idol. Instead, I was amazed. Inretrospect, I had prejudged the whole thing.

What I witnessed was a nearly professional play, performed by teens that shouldall be on the next Canadian Idol, and over music performed by a live orchestra, justlike on Broadway. It was uplifting to see so many youngsters being given theopportunity to showcase their talent in front of an audience.

Speaking with Mr. Levac, the man behind it all, I found out that a musical is beingproduced each year at St.Jos. Everything, even the orchestra, is run by students orformer students. And the play is put in place rather quickly; the cast and crewstarted rehearsal on February 6 this year, and they were ready for opening nighton April 27. That's a mere 12 weeks of rehearsal.

Participating in a play is a wonderful way to partake in a collaborative creativeprocess andexperience the truemeaning of teamwork. All it takes isone teacher willingto go the extramile. I am surethese youths willtake away fondmemories of theire x p e r i e n c e .Memories thatthey will reminisceabout, long aftergraduation.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening of entertainment and pure enjoyment. I even shed afew tears.

Julia, Out and About!

OUT & ABOUT with Julia LucioLet’s Get Real!

I was driving through Martintownand Williamstown the otherweekend, and noticed how most ofthe farmers are expanding theirfields and cutting down all thetrees and shrubs that used toseparate them. What is now

visible is acre after acre of clear-cut fields;not a tree in sight. I wondered why this was happeningand why the beautiful farmland and trees were beingdestroyed in this manner. A local bee keeper informed methat since these farmers grow nothing but genetically-modified (GMO) corn or soy beans, they have increased thesize of the fields to maximize their yield.

You see, in the old days, farmers would rotate their fields,grow many different varieties of vegetables, and havelivestock that would roam the fields. They needed thedivision between these fields. This division of tress andstreams also allowed the honeybee (the bee thatpollinates all our food) to have a place to rest and drink.Now, the large mono-culture farms have taken over. Thereare no divisions, no natural rest-stop for the bees, for oureyes, or for the animals. These farms have become factoriesthat just grow GMO Corn and/or GMO Soy. Most of this

“product” is grown to make High Fructose Corn Syrup - amanipulated sugar in the lab that makes us crave it more. It is put inevery processed food in North America! In Canada, it is labeled as“fructose-sucrose”, sneaky eh?!

Why is this so bad, you may ask? GMO means that the seed hasbeen manipulated by scientists to resist pesticides (which thefarmers will spray to kill bugs and pests). This makes sense in theory,but this seed cannot reproduce, therefore, is it really alive? In turn,the bugs and pests are becoming resistant. As a result, the scientistshave really only created superbugs instead of good corn.

This got me thinking; this so-called food made with all thesemanipulated food chemicals and preservatives (like McDonalds,Burger King, frozen pizza, etc...), is it really food? When a burger cansit on a shelf for months without rotting, is that really food? I spokewith a bunch of college students the other day and they admittedthat the majority of their daily diet includes pizza, McDonalds andfast-food. This generation thinks this is ‘food’. If they continue to eatlike this for the next 20-30 years, how many of them will still be alive?The movie Forks Over Knives chronicles the lives of two medicaldoctors in the US. Research proved that a high-animal protein dietpaired with a lot of processed food not only leads to, but createscancer, diabetes and heart-disease. I am very worried about ourfuture generations.

Someone said to me, “I can’t believe that more people don’t knowabout how bad the state of our food is, and now that I know, I can’tgo back to eating like that anymore!” The answer to all of this is veryobvious; we need to eat simple, real, live food. It will not only saveour lives, but will also send a clear message to the mega-corporations - who are altering our food for greed and profit - thatwe don’t want their cheap, so-called food anymore. Isn’t your healthand the health of your children worth spending a few more dollarsat the Farmer’s Market, or buying from a local, organic farm? I bet ifwe all stopped buying coffee every single day at Tim Horton’s andput that extra money into the “Real Food Budget”, we would all behealthier and happier.

My daily practice of Yoga has helped me to become unified andwhole. What I mean by that, is I don’t see myself as a separate mindand a separate body. I think this separation is important in makingus feel disconnected and not in tune with what is happening inside.In Yoga, we become one with ourselves and feel ourselves so that wewant to nourish our being and not just feed our bodies.This distinction is quite powerful. Choose wisely in nourishing yourbeing, practice yoga on a daily basis so you can be connected andfeel your best. Don’t you deserve it?!

SEEKING THE ARTS . SEEKING THE ARTS A Leap of FaithOver the years I have discovered that every so often weare required to take a leap of faith. It could be a small one- like going to a new restaurant someone hasrecommended - to something much bigger, like leavingyour current job for the life of being an artist. Of coursethere are many kinds of leaps that happen, but one thingthey all have in common is that they require movingoutside of your comfort zone.

There is a science around this that many gurus of self-help have developed, it’scalled Psycho Cybernetics. One type of cybernetic device is most commonlyused in your home to regulate your thermostat controls on your furnace. Set itat a temperature, and if it gets too warm it shuts off the furnace; when it gets toocold it turns it back on. We also have a built in cybernetic device that wants tokeep us in familiar territory as far as work, food and relationships go. Ancientman needed this in order to help him survive. Whether you like it or not, thiscomfort thermostat controls the choices you make constantly throughout yourday. Where you like to eat, shop, the music you listen to, the friends you hang outwith and even the type of art you make.

The problem with this built in control system, is unlike your plants in the livingroom, the constant sameness of the day to day comfort zone is not a good placefor creativity to develop. It is when we take a step outside this zone that ourbrain comes alive! What dangers or wonders are we going to find around thatunknown corner? What will happen if I turn left instead of right on my otherwisefamiliar road? This, my friends, is the place where stuff happens! Stuff that mayend up being the best - or the worst - decision you ever made. One thing is forsure: you are finding out you are alive.

It is important to push yourself a little to take a chance on something new inorder to bring new opportunities your way. It is way too easy to say “No, nottoday”, and let the opportunity pass by. It is also tough to give up something

that is like an old shoe to give yourself a chance to see what else there is for you out there.If we become stuck in our comfortable place for too long, soon it will no longer be fun orprofitable, but we are so used to it that change becomes a little too scary and so we stayput. Unhappy yet comfy; that’s us. Most importantly remember, if it doesn’t work out,you can change it again, because nothing should be the same forever.

I know about this because I have done it before and that is where I am right now. I havedecided to take a leap into the unknown and change things up a bit. My first shake-up isto leave my comfy, cozy studio with all its glorious space and lots of teaching room to asmaller spot in my home. I have been too focused on teaching and have let my exhibitingof my work slide way down in my list of priorities. I also want to finish my book, and thattoo seems to take a back seat to the needs of a rented studio space. This winter I wroteand produced more work in my little sea-side condo than I have in my studio during thepast three years! That was my, AHA! moment, as Oprah would say.

So wish me well as I remove my slippers and housecoat, get out of the Lazyboy chair andleap feet-first into the unknown.

PS You are welcome to join me!

Writing the story of YOUWhen I was young, I dreamed of being ateacher. I also dreamed of performing onthe stage. I aspired to be a writer. I knewthat someday I wanted to help people.

All of these dreams have come true for me,in some form or another. They haven’thappened in the order I would have likedthem to. They also didn’t happen

anything like how I had pictured they would.

My life’s events certainly did not unfold according to mychildhood plans, yet the basic needs behind what had mechasing those goals were still met.

I have learned to accept that my current life situation containscertain limitations, and in order to reach my goals I need to beflexible, patient, and learn to work within my limitations.Fighting my restrictions and limitations would only lead tofrustration and discouragement.

Perhaps right now you are in the place I was not that long ago.You might be looking at your present situation with a great dealof discouragement and frustration. You might have projectsthat have never come into fruition and life-long goals that havebeen sitting on the shelf.

You might feel as though your best days are behind you andthat there is no way, in your current situation, your dreams canever come true. I was in such a state of fear years ago that I wasafraid to even say my dreams out loud, they seemed sounattainable. The saddest part is that I was my own worst critic.

Eventually, I came to the fortunate realization that my futurewas a blank page to be written upon. I was the author. I feltempowered. I became very encouraged with the idea that Icould influence the entire course of my life.

I began to feel confident enough to go forward with the decision tofollow my own path, and not where others felt I should go. I left others’expectations behind and began to write my own truth.

Self-doubt and fear did their best to talk me out of every single decision.

For every negative belief, I fired back at them with an arsenal of facts. Irhymed off stories of people who had gone before me and succeeded. Ishowed them my past history of successes as proof that I could andwould make it all happen.

As the author of my story, I thought How do I want this all to end? If mylife was a book and people were to read it, what do I want to seehappen?

Is it time to begin writing on your life’s blank page? When people readthe story of YOU, what will it say?

G For HAPPY with


Bending the truth on your résuméBruce Lee once said; “If you don’t want to slip uptomorrow, speak the truth today.” We mightaccomplish short term objectives by distorting thetruth or fabricating a fact or two, but undoubtedly,at some point, misrepresentations or outright falsedeclarations on a résumé will be uncovered.

You’re probably familiar with an example or two of a con-man who falsifiedschool records to show he had a medical degree or was the recipient of amedal or award – extreme cases where there were potentially serious if notlife-threatening consequences. But what about little ‘white lies’ and minorexaggerations? There are no hard and fast statistics on the subject (after all,how many people would actually admit to lying on a résumé), but estimates

suggest that between 20% and 40% of all résumés contain at least oneembellishment or stretch the truth a little!

The areas of a résumé, observers note, most prone to some degree of falsification are:Education; Previous job title or responsibilities; Pay; Reasons for leaving andAccomplishments. Recently I reviewed a résumé for a position I was filling, in whichthe applicant stated he had worked at a certain company as a supervisor for anumber of years. The HR manager at the company was given as a reference. Duringmy call to the manager I asked specifically about the scope of supervisoryresponsibilities the candidate had. After a few seconds of silence the manager askedme if we were talking about the same candidate, as the one I was calling about hadnever been a supervisor! Clearly this was cause for some concern. The candidate mayhave been able to fill the role of supervisor and might have been technically qualified for the position I was hiring for, but what does this say about his integrity? Ifhe is willing to misrepresent himself on his résumé to such a degree, what might he be capable of later: Falsifying health and safety records; productivity reports;expense sheets; invoices? This is where the concern lies (no pun intended). What does employing such tactics say about the candidate in general?

As mentioned in a previous article, employers will conduct a reference check. Not only do they want to know whether or not an applicant was punctual and a goodteam player, but they are also checking what has been given as verifiable fact. More and more, employers – and again this is largely affected by the level of theposition – will ask for college and university transcripts or copies of certificates relating to courses and accomplishments. Be prepared to provide them if asked.

Why a candidate left a previous employer is of particular interest to a hiring manager. This will always be asked – of the candidate and again during the referencechecking process. It can be a tough question to answer, especially when the reasons are not the best. Even if the previous employer does not answer explicitly, muchcan be learned from a brief silence or a refusal to answer at all. It is best to be honest and get everything out there and on the table. Honesty will be appreciated.

Hiring managers will always dig into a résumé if they feel it is worthy of a more detailed look. They might outsource this process or do it themselves. They want tomatch what you are listing with what they are looking for. A job description or list of requirements is a wish list pointing to the ideal candidate. Some elements areabsolutely essential while others are ‘nice’ to have. If ever you feel you are qualified for the job but lacking a certain skill set, don’t avoid applying, or worse; applyand be creative with the facts about your work or school history! Your cover letter is the perfect opportunity to state you are lacking certain experiences orqualifications but would be more than happy to upgrade and take further training. You can over-emphasize qualifications you do have.

Everything on a résumé is verifiable and subject to scrutiny. It is tempting to ‘stretch’ the truth in the hopes we’ll land our dream job or any position for that matter,but be sure that whatever you are stating does not come back to bite you tomorrow.

Setting Goals Have you ever wanted to go bungee jumping? Everwant to go rock climbing, but you can’t seem tomake the time? I’ve recently learned the importance

of setting small, yearly goals that help me remember that it really is about thelittle things in life.

Setting goals is not only about a sense of achievement; it’s about pushingyourself to be the best version of you, every day.

In the past recent weeks, I felt like I was coasting in my day-to-day life. Don’tget me wrong, I am so very blessed to have all the opportunities thatsurround me, but I know that I am only the very best version of me when Itake time out of my busy schedule to do something for me – something thatignites my fire and that helps me re-focus and re-energize myself.

Recently, I’ve made a goal list that includes eleven things that I want to do thisyear, which are completely achievable and can be done alone and with familyand friends.

What good are goals if your loved ones can’t share in your success?

GOAL LIST:

1- Eat lobster – I’m not a fan of fish, but I’m willing to try it!

2- Drive a standard car – Lord, give the passenger strength to put up withme during this time!

3 - Get family portraits done – Family means the world to me and I’ve noticed thatI have no recent family portraits; time to make this happen!

4 - Go to a Drive–In – Summer 2012 will change this!

5 - Spend a night out on a beach - I’m not a big fan of camping, but there’ssomething that speaks to me about lying under the stars and taking in all of thatbeauty!

6 - Take a spa day - It’s important to take time for you, so I’m making a day of it and you should too!

7 - Run 5K -This is a personal goal that I’ve been putting off for the last year, no more excuses! (Yes I will bewearing running shoes!)

8 - Go Snowshoeing - Anyone that knows me, knows how much snow and I do not get along, but I’ve recentlyseen some pretty cool ads and read some interesting articles on this. I think it would be something that I couldbe proud to say “I did that!”

9 - Read a book - I haven’t read a book in over a year. Articles and magazines are great, but I miss a good read.I think the Happiness Project is going to be my pick!

10 - See a musical play – Music is such a big part of my life, and theatre was one of my passions when I was ateenager. It’s one of those things that I’m not sure why I let it go, but I’m thrilled to rekindle my love for MusicalTheatre.

11 - German Hang -This is a gymnastic movement that I have been trying to do for three months at the gym,this year will be the year!

Take those little things that you’ve always wanted to do, write them down and make them your reality. Life isjust too short to wait for something to happen, you have to make things happen!

See it, believe it, do it. Stay fabulous,V.

Dear Joe,I have a small porch on the side ofmy house that was built sometime ago. It has quite asignificant lean to it that seemsto be getting worse, not quickly,but gradually sinking along theoutside. I would like to know ifthere is a way to fix this or if Ineed to replace the porch.

Thank you for your help. I love reading your piece each week,Regards, Bill.

Bill,Thank you so much for the great question. And thank you for being a loyalfollower of my little piece.There could be a couple of reasons for the sinking feeling you are having aboutyour deck. The root of the problem will be under; either under the deck orunderground. If the deck is truly sinking, then the footings on which it was builtwill be sinking into the earth. Now unless you have tons of weight constantly onyour deck, which I am sure you don’t, this is probably not the case. Brand newfootings may sink a bit over the first few years as the soil beneath them re-compacts after excavation. This is why it is eminently important whenexcavating for any concrete work - post, piers, floors or foundations - that the soilat the bottom of the excavation remains undisturbed, and all loose fill becleaned from the bottom of the hole before aggregate or concrete is poured. Soif your deck is older, this won’t be the case as the settling process is long sincecomplete.

I think the better bet is that the posts which rest upon the footings have begunto rot. If the footings are very close to the earth, and were of untreated lumber,

then chances are water has wicked up through the end grain of the post and it has beengradually deteriorating and sinking, year after year.

To fix this you have a couple of options. Both will require jacking up and leveling of thedeck. One option is to unbolt and replace the existing posts, and then rest them back onthe piers. If you can’t remove the posts because of the deck’s construction, then you shouldcut off the bottom foot of the post (or until you find solid wood) and replace this with a

“About Th

e House”

pressure treated piece of the required length to repair the damaged post.Pressure treated or metal splints on all four sides will ensure that the repairwill be strong enough to support the deck and its occupants. A couple hoursafter work should be enough to knock off this little repair and have your decksitting pretty for years to come.Best of luck Bill, and have a great summer, Joe

Preds not afraid to make bold movesHeading into the playoffs, the NashvillePredators were the NHL’s most improvedteam – at least on paper.

At the trade deadline, the Preds seemed tobe the big winners; adding Andrei Kostistynand Hal Gill from Montreal, and Paul Gaustadfrom Buffalo. Then, just before the playoffs

began, they welcomed back Alexander Radulov from the KHL.

But after Kostistyn and Radulov were suspended by the team thisweek, you have to wonder if GM David Poile did more harm than goodwith some of those moves.

Every year, NHL teams take some risks at the trade deadline, addingplayers for a stretch run. Sometimes, those moves make generalmanagers look like geniuses. But many GM’s will take a pass on aplayer, because of the fear he could mess with team chemistry.The Preds were already a playoff team, and with four good playersadded to their roster, they were set for quite possibly a long run, deepinto spring. But we don’t always know what’s going on in the dressingroom and behind the scenes.

This week, when the duo reportedly missed curfew, Poile was forced tomake a difficult decision in sitting the star players. It was a risky call,especially considering his team was trailing the Phoenix Coyotes 2-0 inthe Western Conference semi-final.

Nashville responded with a win over Phoenix in Game 3, to get backinto the series. Poile and the Predators meanwhile, proved once againthat they’re not afraid to make a bold move.

HABS GET THEIR MAN: After a month-long search for their 17thgeneral manager, the Montreal Canadiens hired Marc Bergevin this week. It wasa circus season in Montreal to say the least, so it’s nice to see the Habs gettingback to their classy ways. For the most part, the entire hiring process was keptconfidential and low key. Now that the Habs have a GM, the focus will switch tothe head coach position. Bergevin has already moved interim coach RandyCunneyworth back to his original post as an assistant coach. Whether or not hewill remain with the team would likely depend on who is named head coach.

SUSPENDED SAINTS: Linebacker Jonathan Vilma is the latest New OrleansSaint to be suspended without pay, as he will miss the entire 2012 season fortaking part in the team’s bounty system. I’m glad NFL commissioner RogerGoodell came down hard on the Saints as a team, but I don’t know if individualplayers should be singled out and penalized so harshly. It makes me think ofwhen I hear someone get upset with a player who agrees to a 10-year $250million contract. You can’t blame the player for taking the deal! But, this bountysystem problem comes down to one thing that seems to be missing in prosports nowadays: respect. And the NFL is doing what it can to protect its playersright now.

SEAU SUICIDE SHOCKING: Twelve-time Pro Bowler Junior Seau committedsuicide this week, sadly adding his name to a long list of former athletes whohave taken their own life in recent years. Seau was 43. Before anyone judgesSeau, they should really try to put themselves in the shoes of a former proathlete. Can you imagine being THE MAN throughout high school, then beingTHE MAN throughout college, then spending the next 20 years as THE MAN inthe NFL? Then, all of a sudden, you are in your forties and it’s all over. You don’tknow what to do anymore. You’re no longer THE MAN; the star. You can say allyou want that these athletes are spoiled rotten, but they’re human beings whosacrifice their body for years and years. Then, when it’s all over, they have somany mental issues to deal with. Unfortunately, Seau is just the latest victim.While the NHL, MLB, NBA and NFL player unions do have programs in place tohelp retired athletes cope with change, the time is now for the leagues to cometogether and share ideas that could save lives in the future.

WILD LOOKING FOR REPEAT: The Windsor Wild is only two wins away fromrepeating as LNAH champs. Windsor leads Thetford 2-0 in the best-of-sevenfinal. Game 3 is Friday night in Thetford-Mines, QC.

PIPER’S POINTS: My pick for the Habs GM position was Pierre McGuire, whowas reportedly the runner-up for the job. As for the coaching position, you haveto think that with a rookie general manager, the Habs will likely go with anexperienced coach. Bob Hartley or Marc Crawford could likely be the next benchboss in Montreal

SEEKING SPORTS NEWS A weekly look at racing fromboth sides of the 1000 IslandsI had my first two day race weekend of the seasonplanned for this past weekend, but once again MotherNature played a role in deciding my plans. First upwas a return trip to Brewerton Speedway on Fridaynight, and then Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Parkas they made a second attempt to start their 2012season.

We had a little bit of everything weather-wise last week; a littlesun, a little snow, and a lot of rain. The wet weather forced track officials atBrewerton to cancel their racing program. They made the call Thursdayafternoon, giving everyone lots of notice that the track was just not going to bein sufficient shape come race time. Other tracks in the area that race on Fridaynights soon followed suit, so it was a quiet night at home instead of an excitingnight at the track.

Saturday was a much different story. With an extra day of nice weather to drythe area, Can Am Motorsports Park was in great shape to get the 2012 seasonunderway. It was a cold night at the track, but that didn’t stop over 100 raceteams from filling the Can Am pit area…forcing some competitors to parkoutside the pit gates, and on the adjacent Go Kart track. A healthy field of 35Empire Super Sprints, 21 Sportsman, 20 Pro/Street Stocks, 20 Modifieds, and 12Late Models were on hand for competition.

It was a great night for Sammy Reakes IV as he won his first ever Sprint Carfeature. This was only his fourth ever start in a Sprint car, and he had to fight forit, holding off 2011 Empire Super Sprint champion Chuck Hebing at the finish.Hebing was second, followed by Shawn Donath, Steve Poirier, and JustinBarger. Chris Raabe took home the win in the Modified dash, he finished aheadof rookies Tom Conklin and Shane Pecore. Raabe started from deep in the field,and took advantage of a late race restart to collect the win. Dylan Evoy won

more features then anyone in the Sportsman class in 2011, and he continued his winningways with an opening night victory. He held off 2011 Can Am Sportsman champion JoshVanBrocklin, Brandon Hagan, Anthony Stockman and Ryan Poole. Jordan Keruskie wasthe Late Model winner, over Tim Sears Jr. and Alan Fink, while Joey Ladouceur survived alate race restart to capture his first win of 2012 over Roch Aubin and Sid Harmer Sr. AdrianBigelow won the 30 lap Enduro at the end of the evening.

As a fan of Can Am Motorsports Park, it was nice to see such a great turnout of cars. Theyhad a good crowd considering the cold temperatures, and it really was a good start to theseason for them. The true test will come after the other tracks in the area open up, but Ithink Can Am has a lot of great things going on this year, and they will be just fine. Theyhave some great incentives in all classes to help support the weekly racers, and alucrative point fund in all classes, and they are working hard at getting the track in theright direction.

Evans Mills Speedway is another track that is working hard to better their program for2012. They are offering a bigger purse, and have really improved in a lot of areas. I hopeto make it over there at some point this year, but with them racing on Saturday nights, itwill make it tough.Judging by the pre-season banter, Brockville Speedway and Mohawk Speedway will havethe highest car counts of my weekly tracks. Brockville averaged 18-20 Modifieds on agiven night in 2011, and with the addition of Pat O’Brien, Lee Gill, Dale Planck, CareyTerrance - amongst others - it will make for some exciting racing in an already stellar fieldof cars. Mohawk Raceway had good car counts as well last year, and will bolster that thisyear with Stephane Lafrance and Danny O’Brien adding to their field. I can’t wait to getstarted!

Cornwall Speedway has the most exciting schedule of 2012, with both the World ofOutlaw Late Models and World of Outlaw Sprint Cars coming to the track this year. Theywill also have a Big Block Modified Super DIRTcar Series race, a Sportsman DIRTcar Seriesrace, Pro Stock DIRTcar Series race, as well as three 100 lap Small Block Modified CanadianNational Series races, with two of them also counting towards the 358 Modified DIRTcarSeries.This coming weekend, I will be back at Brewerton Speedway on Friday night for their fullracing program of Modifieds, IMCA Modifieds, Mod Lites and 4 cylinder Super Stocks. OnSaturday afternoon I will head to Brockville Speedway for their practice session from 1pmto 4pm, before heading back over to Can Am for their regular racing program. MohawkRaceway will open for the 2012 season on Friday, May 11th, with Brockville hosting theirfirst race on Saturday, May 12th. Cornwall Speedway opens the following weekend witha 100 lap Mr. DIRTcar Series/Canadian Nationals Series event on May 20th.I look forward to seeing everyone at the track.

Last Parent - Teacher InterviewParent -Teacher interviews are a time to hearfrom the school leaders who see your child in adifferent environment on a daily basis. It is atime to keep an open mind, ask questions andencourage your child to do their very best.

Last week was my last parent-teacher interview.I have never missed any of them; since Bradwas in junior kindergarten, right up to his final

high-school semester. It was bittersweet, as I enjoy this twice a yearexcursion to my son’s school, where I have an opportunity to hear fromhis teachers, visit with faculty and catch up with other parents.

Not everyone attends, and that is unfortunate. If nothing else, itgives you a chance to visit the school, find out the teachers’ opinions ofyour child’s strengths and weaknesses, and encourage that last dose ofbest efforts to raise their marks and focus on theirgoals. Even if you don’t agree with the assessment, it gives you astrong foundation to help them get back on track. It’s the mid-pointwhere marks can either increase, plummet or remain the same.

As I walked through the hallowed halls of St. Joseph CatholicSecondary School, I was greeted by familiar faces. Some I have sharedthis journey with since elementary school and couldn’t help but feelnostalgic. Not only was this my last time to speak to his teachers, but it

may be the last time I visit the school which holds so many memories for me. Theschool building was once my high-school, General Vanier Secondary School(GVSS). The current St. Joe’s principal attended high school with me, as did one ofthe guidance counselors, and a lot of the parents I met up with were formerclassmates. They have more than one child, and so as some near the end of theirsecondary school journey, their siblings have just begun a fresh new journey, astheir parents prepare for round two or in some cases three.

I chatted with parents whose children are also embarking on new journeys.Some are going off to college or university and others decided to take the extrayear and work on improving marks or taking courses needed to achieve theircareer goals. It was different this time. I now work at St. Lawrence College, and assuch, the educational

Manage your credit score… and reap the financial rewardsFirst, let me assure you that you’re never just a number when you deal with me. But the hard truth is – to most lenders – you actuallyare a number. It’s an important number: your credit score. Your credit score is your passport to financial opportunities. The higher thebetter. Known as a FICO score – with a possible range of 300 to 900 – your number tells lenders what kind of a risk you are likely tobe as a borrower. With a credit score above 800, for example, the lenders are going to be very happy to see you at their door. You’llalso have a chance to save big on any borrowing you do. Why? That high of a credit score says you’re reliable and responsible withyour debt; you should get fast approval at the best possible rates. But maybe you were late paying your credit cards a few years ago.Bad news: any history of late payments or a record of a debt being sent to a collection agency – and your credit score is going totake a serious hit. It doesn’t matter how much the debt was for. If your score tips below 600, you may pay a premium on yourborrowing rate.

Maybe you didn’t even know that someone – somewhere – was keeping track of how you handled your credit. But if you’ve ever had a credit card, borrowedmoney, or leased a car, the credit agencies probably know who you are.

The good news is that you can manage your credit score to make the most of your financial opportunities. First of all, knowledge is power. It’s easy to findout your credit score, and to see your full report, which is everything that a lender would see. You can order your credit report free through the mail, or youcan order it online and, for a small fee, you can download it immediately. To get started, contact Equifax at 1-800-465-7166 or www.equifax.ca. You can alsocontact Trans Union at 1-866-525-0262 or www.transunion.ca. As soon as you get your report, check closely for any errors in your file. If something is wrong,report it immediately, so that your file can be corrected.

You should know that your credit score captures your perceived lending risk at a moment in time, so your score can change from month to month. Thecompanies that hold your credit accounts and loans report transactions to credit bureaus regularly. That’s a great opportunity for you, because it meansyou can improve your score with the right credit “behaviours”.

The basics are simple. You need to pay your bills on time – making at least the minimum payment. Using your credit card regularly and paying it offpromptly is better than not using it at all, or carrying a big balance. Your score will be higher if you have a gap between your credit limit, and what youcurrently owe. Try not to let your balance run higher than one-third of your limit. The longer your history, the better. Don’t cancel your oldest credit card –even if you no longer use it. That good history can help you. Get advice before you cancel unused cards. And don’t regularly take out new credit accounts.

Are there more strategies for credit score improvement? Sure. Start by talking to an experienced mortgage planner who can review your situation and helpyou determine how best to improve your credit. A mortgage planner deals with over 50 lenders and knows their qualifying criteria. They can also discussspecial credit repair mortgages designed to get you back on track if you’ve had some past credit problems. These mortgages are designed to consolidatedebt at today’s great mortgage rates, which will certainly help your credit score improve. Credit is part of the mortgage business and since mortgages aretheir only business, it’s a great place to start.
