Cornwall ON - So you’re at a garage sale and you come across a box of glass negatives.  Hmm…you lift a few to the light to check them out and you give the person $45 after bargaining them down from $70.    Imagine finding out they were the work of Legendary Photographer Ansel Adams?

That’s exactly what happened to Rick Norsigian and after officially verifying them has had them valued at over $200 Million dollars!   Now that’s a lottery ticket!

Iroquois ON - The Iroquois Golf Course was smelling mighty fine as Organic Lamb and Porc cooked.   It was a Five Mile meal served with local Vegetables, Fruits, and meet provided by Waratah Downs Organic Farm, 11211 Rowen Rd, Iroquois, Ontario.   Some amazing organic cheese from New Care Eco Farms Peter and Maria Biemond rounded out an amazing meal.

The head speaker was Mr. Tom Manley of Homestead Organics who discussed the ready availability of local food, the choice and selection available, and the benefits not only in quality, but in having an organic economical impact by having local food producers supporting local communities.

The evening was co-ordinated by The Seaway Referral Network.  For more information you can contact PJ Robertson by clicking their link.

MPP Jim Brownell was in attendance, and we’ll be adding video shortly.

Cornwall ON - If you’ve ever watched Coronation Street here in Canada you’ve seen the cat in the opening credits.   His name was Frisky and sadly like all good things in life Frisky went on to that great mouse house in the sky.   However a collector bid on his ashes and paid a whopping $1200 for his remains.

LINK

The tabby beat 5,000 other cats to get the part in 1990 and was featured in more than 1,000 episodes of the show before he died 10 years ago at the age of 14.

Frisky was a favourite with viewers and made numerous public appearances to raise thousands of dollars for charity.

I officially don’t feel so bad owning that tiny jar of Dilithium Crystals from Star Trek and the Estate of James “Scotty” Doohan now!

Cornwall ON - When Kris Rothley looks in her closet, often she can’t decide what to wear. Rothley, who is married and a mother of three, is also the Dean at the Ontario Hockey Academy. With a very busy lifestyle, she welcomes the Six Items or Less challenge to simplify her life.

Rothley read about Six Items or Less on the Internet. She was intrigued and wanted to try it herself. The challenge for participants is to wear only six articles of clothing for an entire month.

“I’m hoping to waste less time staring into a packed closet, and I look forward to the money I will save by not buying clothes for a month”.

Rothley is well acquainted with challenges. From running a marathon to university studies, she has challenged herself both athletically and academically, and has had success in her endeavours. She has degrees from M.I.T, Cornell University, and a Ph. D from Yale.

One obstacle for Six Items or Less is choosing just six items of clothing out of all the choices in the closet. Another part of the challenge is wearing different combinations of those six items and diversifying them with accessories. The six items does not include accessories, undergarments, work uniforms, work out clothing, jackets, shoes, or swimwear.

“I want to make space in my closet and do something positive by donating some of the clothes that do not make the six item cut-off to the Agape”.

The Six Items or Less website does not adhere to a philosophy or ideology. It is simply a challenge for people to try. But regardless of the indent,  the experiment has deeper implications.

All clothing produced and purchased has an ecological footprint. From extracting resources, to manufacturing, transportation, and washing clothes, all these things have an impact on the environment.

Many people have an abundance of stuff they don’t really need or use, so an experiment like Six Items or Less is an opportunity to reflect upon this.

Rothley is going to blog about her experiences and take photos and post them as well.

Nancy Munro had an awful lot of hair.  She estimated it was longer than 17 inches and she donated her braid to raise money for Cancer.
