Even at an early age, Randy Sauve knew he loved comic books. “I remember reading them, when I was around 10 or 11,” he recalled, in his 227 Pitt Street store, Fantasy Realm. “Along with the kids in the neighbourhood, we’d all trade comic books. I mean, we’d read them then we’d want to get our hands on another one.” But then, something happened that transformed the outlook the young man had

on the illustrated stories. “One day, I decided I didn’t want to trade them anymore,” he said. “I wanted to keep them, to collect them. Therefore, I’d go into thrift shops or convenience stores where they had second hand comics for around 10 cents.”

More than just a hobby : Randy Sauve’s Fantasy Realm

FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca

CORNWALL | Even at an early age, Randy Sauve knew he loved comic books. “I re- member reading them, when I was around 10 or 11,” he recalled, in his 227 Pitt Street store, Fantasy Realm . “Along with the kids in the neighbourhood, we’d all trade com- ic books. I mean, we’d read them then we’d want to get our hands on another one.” “One day, I decided I didn’t want to trade them any- more,” he said. “I wanted to keep them, to collect them But then, something happened that transformed the outlook the young man had on the illustrated stories. “One day, I decided I didn’t want to trade them anymore,” he said. “I wanted to keep them, to collect them. Therefore, I’d go into thrift shops or convenience stores where they had second hand comics for around 10 cents.” His collection eventually grew a n d , at the tender age of

They sold really well. Even at that time, I was calling it Fantasy Realm.” Fast-forward to today, and the comic book expert is now at the helm of a staple store in Cornwall. Tucked away between two other stores, Fantasy Realm has now been opened for 30 years. Even through the many changes brought to Pitt Street, Sauve’s business has always been thriv- ing. “When I set up shop, I was only 23,” he explained. “Pitt Street was a mall of some sorts, meaning the road

Sauve knows exactly what trends are taking the world by storm. Therefore, the business- man decided, early on, to take full advan- tage of the bidding website eBay. “About 20 to 25% of my sales are made via the Internet,” he explained. “It’s very dif- ferent from how it was long ago. When we used to go to conventions, we used to emp- ty the store and pack all the merchandise in a van. We’d unload it all at a hotel and try to make enough money to pay back the booth we rented at the event. Nowadays, I’m not worried of making enough money to pay for the booth. I hand out my business cards and, although some people might not buy my things at the convention, they’ll buy products on my eBay store.” Cornwall and Area Pop Expo (CAPE) What started as an idea almost three years ago is "nally coming to life. “We’re very excited to bring this event to Cornwall,” said Sauve. “We have been to dozens of similar events in Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Boston and Montreal and we think there is more than enough support in Eastern Ontario to make our event a suc- cess.” CAPE promises to have similar draws as ComicCon, a convention and trade show that showcases the genres of science "ction and fantasy. Celebrity guests, such as actors and artists, are big draws along with exhibi- tors showcasing anything related to pop culture, comic books, video games, anime and more. The event will take place on April 18, 2015, at the Benson Centre.

They were teenagers.” As if to make things even bet- ter, as his clien- tele adapted, so did Pitt Street. “I still serve the people I used to when I "rst opened,” he outlined, smil- ing. “It’s great, because now Pitt Street is once again a street and the clients that used to come here on skate- boards now drive.” Adapting to changes As a fan as well as a retailer,

rotations, as these can have a positive in- #uence on attracting and recruiting health workers to rural areas.” In cooperation with the provincial gov- ernment, the University of Ottawa, and Queen’s University, CCH continues to wel- come students and residents on-site for the opportunity to complete their medical training. “As a hard-working, growing community, Cornwallites deserve the best in medical care. And the best way to ensure that is by becoming an academic teaching institu- tion,” said Dr. Tim Heeley-Ray. “If we build it, they will come”. Andrea Cameron is the coordinator of DME at CCH. Her phone rings persistently with requests for medical students to earn their credits or gain residency while she dis- cusses why people are so eager to come to Cornwall. Currently, registration is full, but that doesn’t stop the requests from coming. “The students call asking if they can come here on their March breaks, during reading weeks, or over the holidays,” said Cameron. “It has gotten to be where we actually have to recommend other places for them to go, because I have already booked all the physi- cians’ time.” She then points to her calendar which is covered in ink with the names of students and their matching physician or preceptor.

Discovering the true meaning of Christmas FRANCIS RACINE francis.racine@eap.on.ca

MORRISBURG | The Playhouse’s newest play, Lights, camera … Christmas , o!ers audiences of all ages a ring-side seat to witness the ‘behind the scenes’ ups and downs of producing a 70’s TV Variety Christmas Show. The new holiday family show by Jesse Collins, runs until Decem- ber 14 and takes audience members back to the days of good old-fashioned variety entertainment, when everyone gathered around the TV set to watch the traditional Christmas Specials. The play is complete with the comedy, song and dance numbers and traditional seasonal music that made them so popular. It plunges audiences into the "ctional world of singing star GordieRoberts andhis troupe of actors, singers and dancers. There’s trou- ble on the set and Gordie’s world is falling apart. The Network corporations are threat- ening to cancel his show if he doesn’t come up with new material that re#ects the new Disco rage. But he’s reluctant to change and his days as a TV director appear to be over.

On top of that, his wacky troupe is also pressuring him to create new routines, there’s revolt brewing within the ranks and his girlfriend, Marilyn, is feeling neglect- ed and threatens to leave. It all plays out through the eyes of good old Uncle Charlie, as the cast and crew "ght against the clock to nail down their song, dance and comedy numbers before show-time. Lights, camera … Christmas is directed by Jesse Collins, an Emmy Award nominated director for the PSB series Zoboomafoo, and choreographed by Liz Gilroy, director and choreographer of the Toronto produc- tion of Rob Ford, The Musical . The show stars Derek Marshall as Gordie Roberts, with Liz Gilroy, Brian Young, Zach Counsil, Du! Mac- Donald, Geo!rey Tyler, Rod Campbell and Miranda MacDonald. Meredith Zwicker is musical director and Sean Free, set design- er. Alex Amini is costume designer.

If you have any real estate ambi- tions, you could take some very profitable steps in this direction. You are a bit tempted to redecorate just before Christmas. GEMINI You have plenty to say for yourself, but be sure to have the right infor- mation before you speak out. You might have to translate a very im- portant message. CANCER There is a lot of action on the ho- rizon. You may be sorely tempted to buy something quite expensive. Your Christmas gifts are likely to exceed the budget that you had set for yourself. LEO You take some time to reflect dee- ply. Moreover, it would not be sur- prising if you feel the need to culti- vate a spirituality that is more in accordance with your beliefs. VIRGO If you need to be in close contact with a lot of people, don’t forget to wash your hands frequently so you won’t catch any germs. Your im- mune system is rather fragile. LIBRA Time is a scarce commodity and so you have to choose carefully bet- ween obligation and pleasure. The important thing is to bring more balance into the different areas of your life. SCORPIO Travel plans are taking shape on the horizon. Even though your de- parture is only in a few months, you begin to prepare. Perhaps you need to renew your passport? SAGITTARIUS Some small annoyances are to be expected. You can no longer ignore all the things you’ve put off doing. You feel like celebrating once these jobs are completed. CAPRICORN It wouldn’t be surprising if you are able to clinch a contract that will transform your life. Your perseve- rance allows you to attain great heights, even on a personal level. AQUARIUS There is loads of work and lots of details that take forever to settle. Having a break would be beneficial for you. All you need to do is take some time to appreciate the pre- sent moment. PISCES You find yourself in the spotlight. You’re probably the only person able to accomplish a particular task, and you’ll be entitled to all the gratitude that is offered to you.
