D&C Housatonic Hair Works has a seat waiting

CORNWALL — David Muni has always found himself lured by the charms of West Cornwall. A drive through the Covered Bridge and up the hill was almost a ritual for the Watertown native from the time he could drive. So it seemed like fate when one day he and CJ Burke took a detour on their way to Torrington.

“We saw a sign that the place was available. We stopped and peeked in the windows and talked about how we would love to run a nice little salon like that,” Burke said. “By the time we hit Mohawk, we decided that’s what we were going to do. By the time we hit Torrington, I decided I...

CORNWALL — A chimney fire at the Pine Street home of Pat and Jerry Blakey on Feb. 2 burned itself out by the time firefighters arrived. But it was a close call that served as a good reminder of how unexpectedly the most common residential fire of the season can happen.
“Being a fireman, I had been at many chimney fires, and had one in my home before,” Jerry Blakey said later that day. “But there was no roar. We had no clue inside the house what was going on.”

Still seeking history of Gramps

Thu, 02/07/2013 - 10:41am

CORNWALL — A handful of responses has not yielded any real clues about Gramps, the big brown dog taken in by the Little Guild last month. He was picked up as a stray in Litchfield, and that is all that is known about his past.
Most worrisome of his many medical problems are the violent seizures.
Gramps is doing much better with mild doses of anti-seizure medication. But it is not always the best long-term approach. A medical history is vitally important to his ongoing treatment.
He is large for an American bulldog, at about 98 pounds, but is still a bit underweight.

CORNWALL —Two of Cornwall’s three post offices are slated for a reduction in service window hours. They will be among the 13,000 nationwide to see reductions as the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) struggles to regain financial footing.
While the cuts are part of a business reorganization plan, the final decision will be made after a process of public input. That includes a survey sent to residents last week and a public meeting planned for Feb. 21 at 1 p.m. at the West Cornwall Post Office.
Reductions have already been made in neighboring towns.

CORNWALL — “What’s going on, Cornwall?” This isn’t Facebook, of course, but The Lakeville Journal decided to ask the question and see what’s been happening in the first month of the new year.
And when asked, First Selectman Gordon Ridgway responded, jovially, “Not much.”

CORNWALL — In addition to all the hard work the Cornwall Conservation Trust (CCT) has done to secure preserved land that has amounted to a network of natural recreation land here, the trust just got a “bonus.”
More than a quarter of a 241-acre parcel of conservation land acquired in December by the Kent Land Trust is in Cornwall. It was purchased with a $1.7 million donation from Audrey and Robert Tobin of Warren.
A rugged forest portion is adjacent to Wyantenock State Forest and is near Kent Falls State Park. A small portion is in Warren.

CORNWALL — He’s a big, brown dog plagued with lots of painful afflictions: a bad back, broken foot, infections. Yet Gramps is always willing to play ball and greet anyone who comes into The Little Guild animal shelter.
“We had a litter of puppies in the lobby, and he slept with them every night until they were all adopted,” said Denise Cohn, the shelter’s executive director.
Someday, the Guild staff hopes, Gramps will take his sweet personality to a loving home. Right now, all anyone wants for him are his medical records.
