I know crazy. While there’s some play off fever going on in la belle province the best situation that’s evolved this season is the recovery of high priced Goalie Carey Price. The man has value even with his contract, heck if LV can give a 30+ goalie in Marc Andre Fleury $7M per for 3 […]
These snowy days remind me of the winters we had when we were kids. I can’t remember too many days though that the schools were closed unless it was a very big storm. Bet we would have liked that. We walked back and forth to school and attended from 9 to 4pm, going home for […]
You could be forgiven for thinking that all online casinos and, more specifically, slot game machines are created equal. However, in terms of payout percentages, this clearly couldn’t be further from the truth. The large majority of slots players arrive at their game of choice with the preconceived notion that their favorite games are based entirely […]

These products may contain harmful bacteria. Consumers should not consume the recalled products described below. The ministère de l’Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l’Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ) transmitted an […]
It’s fascinating watching the NHL catch up in the cap age. Contract wise agents and GM’s are focusing on new tangents which make sense for both parties. Right now the buzz is over Leaf highly overrated centre Auston Matthews. In this writer’s opinion until you’ve done it in the playoffs you don’t get to be […]
What a wild spot Sens owner Eugene Melnyk has the city of Ottawa and his own franchise in. It’s a Mexican standoff really. No arena deal in place and a team that if it trades its 3 top potential UFA’s will be a motley mess of bad contracts and young futures. It’s essentially a declaration […]
This is probably my 10th year playing in the dirt. It all started with a small herb garden one year at a friend’s cottage in the Kawarthas. The next year, the lavender all came back, with the chives, and the mint. This is where I learned that mint cannot be trusted to stay where you […]
The Optimist Creed is very inspiring. I happened to come across a copy of it recently in some papers. We are fortunate in Cornwall to have a local Optimist Club which was chartered in 1948. According to their web site, the late Norm Ross was the chapter President. There were 59 charter members at that […]
A good hockey trade means both teams win. Neither GM loses face. They fill their needs. It makes for stronger trade relationships. Nobody wants to be burned or embarrassed. The old axiom is that you can’t bottle talent. In this trade Derrick Brassard never clicked for the Penguins. He and Riley Sheahan were on expiring […]
It’s been an interesting year. It’s been a weird year. With very low expectations les boys are firmly in a playoff spot, even if it’s just a wild card one. Carey decided to be Carey once his bud Captain Shea Weber was back and Tie Domi has been a refreshing player to watch. Now this […]
There wasn’t a lot of hope for the Ottawa Senators coming into the 2018/19 season; no one would have bet on them to make it to the playoffs. So, their standing of rock bottom in the NHL past the halfway mark doesn’t come as a surprise. As it stands, before the trade deadline, they’re also […]
While the season is only half over, the Montreal Canadiens are one of the biggest surprises this season. After the tyre fire of last season and some questionable management the team has had the hockey gods smile on them this season. With new Captain Shea Weber out for nearly most of the first half and […]
They way we feel about food changes from decade to decade. In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, our main concern was finding enough food to feed ourselves with restrictions and rationing in place during World War Two (although, this tended to be more of a nuisance than an actual hardship to Canadians, unlike in other […]
We lost the Brookdale Mall some years ago. I loved the Miss Cornwall Restaurant and it was also handy to have a movie theatre in the same mall. Recently we lost the Eastcourt Mall which was another nice mall but, like the Brookdale Mall area, there are still lots of nice stores there which people […]
Senior Situation Room Edition 138 Dawn Ford New Year’s has come and gone and now we are stuck with all our New Year’s resolutions… or not, if you didn’t make any. I only have two: I will try doing some jigsaw puzzles which I have never tried and get back to doing more crossword puzzles. […]
In life people make mistakes. Smart ones clean them up or mitigate them. For Comic book store owner Randy Sauve his recipe seems to be to pour gasoline on the fire and raise the rhetoric which has resulted in him being sued for defamation. There’s 3 part test for Defam in Canada. If you’ve failed […]

Area Photographer Calvin Hanson shared some of his amazing work to celebrate Christmas. The deer shots were taken at Upper Canada Bird Sanctuary, yesterday and today. The scenes were taken out on Nairne island (there is a causeway from the Bird Sanctuary to the island). Can’t wait to see the shots Mr. Hanson will get […]
