Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford – The Care Centre, Heritage Fair & Glengarry Fencibles Bishop’s House Project – 030619
Black and white TV and rabbit ears!! Those were the days of great comedy , westerns and other shows , all suitable for family viewing. None of the shows had any vulgarity so all the family could spread the rabbit ears as far as they would go and watch our favourites on TV. I loved […]

Photographer Calvin Hanson Captures an Otter in South Stormont Dining on Pike 022719
It’s amazing, some of the candid shots that Calvin Hanson captures through the lens of his camera! When I first saw the animal it was swimming in the open water, and it did not have a fish. It disappeared in the water and made an appearance about 4 minutes later, this time with a huge […]
Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford – First Dementia Villages in Canada 021919
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 […]
Garden Girl – Beginning of the 2019 Garden Dream 020519
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 […]
Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford – Optimism About Heart & Stroke Month 020419
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 […]
Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford – Ice Cream @Cornwall Square, Art & a Tiger Tale! 012119
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’s Situation Room by Dawn Ford CCVS Thoughts & More 011619
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.

There’s 3 part test for Defam in Canada. If you’ve failed […]

Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford – FICTION – Joey the Christmas Elf
One Christmas several years ago, I received a gift of a beautiful Royal Doulton China rose. A little card with this lovely poem was with it: The Legend of the Christmas Rose: Long ago, to Bethlehem, came Kings from far-off lands- Bearing gifts of jewels and gold and myrrh in out-stretched hands. Lowly shepherds, from […]
Sale of Cornwall Square Highlights Bob Peters Failure @ Economic Development by Jamie Gilcig 121218
Cornwall Ontario – I’d like those of you that read this that actually care about the arts locally to think about this. Digest it. Taste it like a fine wine please. The City of Cornwall, led by Mayor Bernadette Clement and “her girls” will spend about the same money this year keeping the Bank of […]
Seniors Situation Room by Dawn Ford Looking Back at Downtown Cornwall 121018
Petula Clark’s song, “Downtown”reminds me sometimes of growing up post war in Cornwall. That line,”Everything’s waiting for you”, says it all. Pitt and Second Streets were sort of our hub’ in center town. We had it all. There were so many stores that seemed to have everything we needed or wanted. At Sleeman’s Sports Store […]

Cornwall Ontario – I kinda giggled when I found out that there was a Canadian Francophone organisation locally. Not because I disrespect Francophones, but this area has people like that silly man with his pins and of course Dianne Poirier, retired school teacher, who besides being President of this local group has been a driving […]
