CFN – June is Seniors’ month. A nice way to honour it is to celebrate with some wonderful seniors. There were a lot of seniors at the Legion Friday night celebrating. It was our annual Cornwall General Hospital Alumni dinner. The Class of 1964 celebrated fifty years. Attending forContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – One of the things that few people know about me is that I’m agoraphobic. IE I have fear of crowds and in particular speaking in front of crowds. I know; it’s nuts;but there’s something magical about challenging our fears that amps me up. I used to jokeContinue Reading
CFN – Today I will be voting. It is always a tough call because I want to believe what is said, and then after I must live with the decision, especially hard when it seems most of the campaign promises were empty promises. Everyone has an opinion, but very fewContinue Reading
CFN – I happened to be in Martintown recently. I had taken my cat, big big baby Tiger to Shannoncourt Central Bark Center for a bath and had some time to kill while my poor little darling pussycat was under the hose to get rid of excess fur. Looking forContinue Reading
CFN – Dr. Nat Shah, a prominent family physician, has been given many awards and accolades over the years since he first came to Cornwall in 1960. He has worked tirelessly for our community, at our local hospitals and for many charities. Last year he received the Queen’s GoldenContinue Reading
CFN – It was recently brought to my attention that a person commenting on the Cornwall Standard Freeholder site is using the moniker “gardengirl13”. I am not sure if this is on purpose or not, I choose to believe the party is innocent until proven guilty, but it deeply offendsContinue Reading
CFN – Value Village is an interesting place. If you can get past the odd smells here and there, and the fact that at least one person has previously owned the goods at which you’re ogling, then hey, it can be quite enjoyable. Considering I very seldom find myselfContinue Reading
CFN – I was aiming to write about gardening today, as the sprouting heads of the tulips along our walkway, and the bright yellow manes of the crocuses, that I proudly planted last year, excite me beyond words. I still aimed to write about gardening even after I read about theContinue Reading
CFN – Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel have said some amazing things over the years. Once I thought I had made up a clever quip which would have rivaled any ‘Yogi-isms ‘or ‘Stengeleses’ but I found out Yogi had already thought it up. So much for my ego. I don’tContinue Reading
CFN – I have been following recent local events and reading many people’s opinions on many matters and am constantly surprised by the ignorance I encounter. Do these people not have access to google? Have they not completed grade 6? Do they not have any rational intelligent friends who careContinue Reading
CFN -To go to ‘Pot’ or not : that is the question. No offense to our immortal poet but it is the question of the day. Having worked for 14 years at Mount Carmel House Treatment Center in St. Raphael’s, ON which was an Inpatient Treatment Center for Alcohol andContinue Reading
CFN – One of the first few things I learned when studying journalism is the importance of being unbiased. You can’t rationally write an objective article about somebody or something if you have an attachment of any kind to the subject. Your opinion will sway the flavour of your article,Continue Reading
CFN – I’m surrounded by robots. I’ve seen “Terminator“ so I know how this ends: with them killing us all. Scientists are already predicting that by 2029, our robots will be smarter than us. This is what you call a slippery slope, folks. I don’t seriously believe that but IContinue Reading
CFN – Kudos to Cornwall Transit for providing shuttle transportation on Feb. 15 and 16th, so that people and their families could enjoy the holiday weekend and the Winterfest . Thank you. A wonderful program to assist seniors who are alone is offered by the Glen Stor Dun Lodge throughContinue Reading
CFN – More and more scientists are proving and acknowledging the power of positive thoughts. Not only how it affects us individually, but our world around us. I recently watched a Ted Talk (brilliant talks for anyone who is interested in enlightening themselves. The topics vary, and the speakers areContinue Reading
CFN – I don’t know whether to call the Vet or talk to one of my addiction colleagues. My cat Tiger, big big baby, is sniffing celery leaves. He is no longer content with his ‘pot’ catnip; now he is in ecstasy sniffing celery. What is this?? As soon asContinue Reading
CFN – More than ever, it seems a quality seriously lacking today in humanity is accountability. It is very frustrating to be knowingly lied to, the current fad of shirking responsibility. Some news from today made me ponder the subject in depth. Example one: A friend is selling their home.Continue Reading
