JULIELEE STITT Equity Reporter QU YON August 11.2010 The main artery of Quyon is accepting traffic again, as the bridge connecting the two ends of Egan Street reopened According to Pontiac Mayor Eddie McCann, the project's completion didn\u2019t come a minute too soon.They had a few delays during the course of the construction, and it got that people were tired of the detours,* said the mayor.The bridge required repair, with the cost of replacing it more economical than mending the existing structure.Construction started last fall, with the project extending longer than expected.Construction was budgeted at $1.6 million, but it will cost more than that due to delays and unforeseen expenses, said Denise Mornssette, from MNA Charlotte LÊcuyer\u2019s office in Campbell's Bay.Pnor to 2009, $90,000 was invested in the bridge.The new bridge was raised by three feet, piers were replaced and the shoreline was cleaned up, said McCann.\u201cBut it looks good, they did a good job and people are happy with it,* said the mayor.Work on the bridge was done by Caron Construction Inc.According to McCann there were delays, causing the public to become impatient.Quyon resident Rejean ne Larose is happy construction is done and is satisfied with the final product.\u2018It was long, but 1 think the new bridge is very nice,\" she said Alain Caron of Caron Construction Inc., said that watchman Leonard Lloyd, below, was instrumental in the bridge's construction.\t>|\t.S*n rwf eomrv Spanning the .ip over the Quyon lu.*.v- w\tJT Quyons 9 Lloyd helps with bridge JULIELEE STITT Equity Reporter QUYON August 11.2010 Quyon residents have been anticipating the completion of the town's bndge, but few have been watching as closely as Leonard Lloyd.At sixty-seven-years old.Lloyd watched the bndge being built, taking about 3,000 pictures to document the process He stood on the finished structure Friday afternoon, weanng a look of pride as real as the white hard hat he placed with conft dence on his head \u201cI love it.1 never helped to build a bndge in all my life and now 1 know how,\" he said Lloyd acted as a watchman, making sure people didn't interrupt construction or use the bndge before its completion.According to a letter of recom mendation, written by Alain Caron, whose construction company built the bridge, \u201cWith (Leonard's) help, we have been able to minimize complications on the construction site related to theft, vandalism and inclement weather conditions.\" Caron went on to desenbe Lloyd as helpful, effective, dedicated and honest Born in Ottawa, Lloyd moved to Pontiac with his family at a young age, he said As for why he got involved in the project, Uoyd said the answer was simple.Tm useful * Ontario HST, Pontiac gas, a good combination LOUISE BROWN Equity Editor SHAWVILLE August 9.2010 Since Ontario instituted the Harmonized Sales Tax on gasoline prices, Shawvillc gas station owners report higher sales.Before July 1, Ontario drivers paid a five per cent federal goods and services tax for gasoline on top of excise taxes.Now that the GST has been blended with the provincial sales tax under the HST, gasoline is taxed eight per cent more \u2018It\u2019s helping, I think so,\" said Brian Rogers owner of J&J Grocery.\u2018It could be because of the tax, it's also because people are on holidays and they're around,\" he added \u2018I have not heard anyone say that they are buying here because of the tax.\u2019 He said it\u2019s hard to compare the sales he\u2019s making this summer with last summer because there was so much rain last year, mean mg there were less cottagers.Adam McDonald is convinced the HST is better for his business in Shawville, Bean's Service Station.Since the HST was applied on July 1, he said he seems to be selling more He even ran out of gas twice, it was selling so fast.\u2018Now in Ontario, it matches the Quebec Sales Tax, so it makes it a level playing field,\" he said.\u201cPeople are not going to run to Renfrew to save five dollars.\" Out at the pumps on Monday, business was a little slower than it was on Sunday, said Bean\u2019s gas station attendant Nicholas Rebertz.\u201cUsually on Sundays they fill up here and go back home,* he said, referring to cottagers from Ontario Furniture store owner Lloyd Hodgins said the changes don\u2019t affect him, because he\u2019s always bought gas locally \u201cI own a business and hope that people will do the same for me,\" he said Please see HST page two Cottagers Tony and\tRon Richard thinks\tLloyd Hodgins says Val Keenleyside\tmore will buy

Wednesday, August u.2010 Pa^e^ DG: Slaughterhouse co-op looking for a project manager to advance file on a full-time basis Continued from page one Under the Meat Inspection Act, provincially certified plants can only sell within their own borders.Federally inspected plants don t have that limitation According to Cannon's riding assistant Gerry Philippe, the member continues to support the project Philippe said they haven t had an official conversation with the board of directors as to how much money the project needs to proceed.\u201cWe have to incorporate a project into a program, right now we cant do that because it s a provincial abattoir, rather than federally inspected and regulated.\" According to the riding assistant, had the project continued with a federal status, there was a program that it would have qualified under for funding.To date, federal involvement has been minimal admitted Philippe, who said they invested originally in the feasibility study, after which point he said the project began to sway between federal and provincial status.\u201cIt could be the Prime Minister representing the nding and it wouldn t have any bearing,\" Philippe said.\u201cWe have to follow the law, that s the beauty of it all and that s the handicap of it all.\" Pontiac Liberal candidate and beef farmer Cindy Duncan-McMillan said if anyone is in a position to advance the project it s the current MP.\u201cWho s in a better position to make it happen than he is?\" she asked, referring to his status on Parliament Hill.Duncan-McMillan said the slaughterhouse would be a means to add value to farmer's products, and if realized would owe its success to the people steering the project and its merit.\u201c1 have never encountered a more dedicated or determined group of individuals to get a project done,* she said Pontiac Warden Michael McCrank said while no one is expecting \"a bag of money,\" the project is an important file.\u201cWe've been working on this for a few years, and we continue to think it\u2019s a very important file, that's why we've put so many man hours into this,\u2019 said the warden.The provincial status may be stopping federal funds for the project, but it may not affect an operational slaugh terhouse when it comes to marketing the transformed meat.OVFMC has said it will accept cattle from Ontario, with some stakeholders in the project coming from the province, but due to laws regulating provincially inspected slaughterhouses it would be unable to sell the transformed product.A fact which could change, depending on the outcome of a pilot study, examining the \u201cchallenges that currently prevent small and medium sized meat establishments in Canada from meeting the federal requirements and participating in interprovincial trade.\" According to an email from Guy Gravelle at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the body is currently working to develop a pilot project that would assess the viability of interprovin-cial trade.\u201cThe ultimate goal of the pilot projects will be to develop tools to help these plants meet requirements for inter- provmcial trade,\" wrote the media relations officer in an email.\u201cFederal, provincial and territorial officials will be working over the summer to determine where and when the pilots will take place,\" wrote Gravelle The implications would be significant for small slaughterhouses, located near provincial borders \u201cIt would allow slaughter- houses to widen their market, basically,\" said Clement Flardeau from the Ministère de I Agriculture, des Pecheries\tet\tde 1 Alimentation du Quebec IMAPAQ).Griffin said given the chance the abattoir could make money.\u201cWe ve been studied to death here with this co-op, and there is money to be made'at it.\" Regardless of the downpours, annual Luskville picnic was a success ANDREA CRANFIELD Equity Reporter LUSKVILLE August 8, 2010 What started off as a bright and sunny day ended in downpour for more than 200 people attending the 34th annual Luskville picnic put on by the Golden Eagle Club.The picnic had to end a few hours early because of the weather but it was an overall success.The downpours were not torrential, and people enjoyed the many activities offered while braving the cold rain.There was a barbecue, horseshoes, inflatable bouncy houses for kids, musical entertainment by-Hubert Belisle, a picnic, face painting, draws and games for kids.Romeo Belisle, the president of the Golden Eagle Club, helped to organize the day\u2019s activities along with director Michel Lebrun, vice president Randy Dagenais and some volunteers Belisle said it was a lot of work getting ready.The picnic was started just for something fun to do; a family outing, said Dagenais.\u201cIt was cut short because of the rain but it was still a success,\" said Belisle.Dagenais added, \u201cIt was supposed to last until 8 p.m., but we left around 5 p.m.because it started to rain at 4.30.\" The Golden Eagle Club is a hunting and fishing club that has been around for 34 ,\u2019#y*ars.There are close to 200 \u2022y rubers, The club holds three events per year and the next event will be a hunting party in November.It was André Liard\u2019s first time attending the picnic and he said he had a great time \u201cI have a daughter in the club.She said, We're having a party today, do you want to come?\u2019 and 1 said \u2018Sure!\u201d said Liard, from Wolseley, QC.\u201cI have a grandchild with me, there are a lot of things for kids to do here \u2019 Liard didn\u2019t mind the rain too much.\u2018It\u2019s not too bad, it could be pouring,\" he said.Draws were held and Jean Pierre Menard won a hip of beef Sharon Stephen won half a pig.Andre Belisle won some chicken, and Jeaneaut Chartrand won the \u201cspecial prize\", a camping tent.The picnic was good, it went well,\" said Dagenais.\u201cWe went through about 50 dozen corn on the cob and about 60 or 70 dozen hot dogs, so it must have been a good turnout.\" Saw Andrea ifteU TH\u20ac fQUfi !

offering at Lake I-eslie Lusk villes Festival Enchante\u2019s classical music was applauded throughout Ottawa\u2019s mainstream media For people who are looking for something a little classier than a fiddle and step dance show, Pontiac is shaping up to be a great destination for those looking for highbrow as well as lowbrow entertainment.No offence is directed towards the efforts of country, folk and bluegrass musicians, of course.This wnter could not be a bigger fan of the traditional music that is the backbone of North American soci-ety.A varied and vibrant cultural sphere is necessary for tourism to develop.This includes music, performing and visual arts.The areas in which Pontiac is lacking, are in the culinary arts.The opening of a new Caribbean restaurant in Campbell's Bay adds to the hope that this area of Quebec will appeal to jetsetting travelers.Spending a weekend at Woodhaven in Bristol for a relaxing weekend with my family, 1 saw Pontiac from a tounst\u2019s perspective.Despite these major advances in higher culture, there was an amazing lack of dining facilities for tourists such as my very well traveled family.For some, this is part of the appeal of coming out to the region, but for most people, it\u2019s a downside.My mom wanted to just randomly stop in somewhere to eat, but in Bnstol, the only place to eat is at one of the golf courses or out of the chip stand (which was \u201cClosed for two weeks,\u2019 as the sign said outside of the establishment).Coronation Hall had a few desserts, but nothing in the way of a \u201clight lunch,\u201d as my mom put it.We drove to Quyon to try and find something, and had to resign ourselves to a picnic on the wharf It was a perfect day for a lazy lunch on the patio, but a patio was nowhere to be found, so we bought deep fried treats at the chipstand and sat on the bench as we watched the ferry shuttle travelers from Quebec to Ontario.For my family, this was a lovely way to spend the afternoon, but for snootier travelers who love to savour the summer sun, this would not be nearly enough.We traveled to Isle aux Allumettes, because I know how beautiful that island is.Again, lunch on a terrace was nowhere to be found.We could not even find a suitable place for a picnic, besides the steps of St.Alphonsus church.We bought some food at Karl s bakery to make our own lunch and my family was so amazed by the pretzels that they bought however many were left in the store.My parents would not have known about the bakery had I not informed them.And there was no way they would have randomly set up a picnic on the steps of the church, had I not done that exact same thing the week before during the Tour de L Isle Besides the Chutes Coulonge and the Marchand Bridge, not much is obvious to the passing traveler.The simple presence of a clean and inviting patio would not only benefit the people living in Pontiac, but it would be an obvious draw to visitors from out of town Back at Woodhaven, Cafe 349 was the only restaurant the French and American tourists I met at the beachfront B&B would contemplate for their dinner They complained of the lark of choice, but how are they

Wednesday afternoon floating near the Chenaux Boom about six miles from the scene of the tragedy.Whilst the funeral service was being held early Thursday morning the body of the younger brother, Hilliard, was recovered by Roma Delorme and Wilfred McCallum, caught in a netting about half a mile below the place of the drowning.Both bodies were viewed by the Coroners of Renfrew and Pontiac Counties who decided an inquest was unnecessary.The funerals were held on Thursday from the home of their father, John Salway, at Stark\u2019s Corners to Radford cemetery, both being attended by a large number of friends and relatives of the dis trict.Left to mourn the untimely departure are the widow, for merlv Bessie Gordon, of Bristol and little daughter, Mary, of Carl Salway and their

with high winds, and decidedly variable temperatures.Many of our citizens attended the lawn social at the brick church, Bnstol, on Monday evening, and report that it was a most successful affair.The attendance was the largest ever seen at a similar event in Bristol.Over $135 was taken at the gate.The supper was first class with spe cial reference to the pork and beans The program included several addresses from rev.gentlemen and others.The barn and out-buildings of Mr Walter Stanton in Onslow were struck by lightning dunng a storm which swept over that section on Monday night and entirely destroyed, including about 40 tons of hay.The fire occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock, and the reflection was plainly visible here, the impression being that it was only a toupie of miles away Also the buildings of Ben Hudson of Bnstol are reported to have been destroyed by fire caused by lightning during the storm of Thursday afternoon A dispatch says: One of the greatest projects for the

news: Missing from our îles until Nov 5, 1885 ST\\i As readers of this column know, 3 Kathanne is travelling in 2010.This Sfe t*» i ' is her latest dispatch from Australia's Victoria state, where she and her husband Eric are house-sitting an organic lavender\tfarm until end-Sept.After being in Australia\tsince April \u2014 and after having visited this continent 26 years ago for four months \u2014\tI can say with some authority that it\u2019s practically impossible not to see lots of wild animals if you are in the rural areas or remote outback.It's an undeniable thrill to see dingoes (wild dog), brumbies (wild horses), or emus (flightless birds resembling ostriches).However.I believe there's a very special excitement to seeing kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, possums, and koalas.This is because they are marsupials.What s a marsupial?Simply put.marsupials are mammals that birth live, immature young that are reared for the first phase of their lives in their mother\u2019s piouch.This pouch contains teats, so as all mammals do, young receive nutrients while suckling Kangaroo characteristics Kangaroos are fascinating marsupials for many reasons, particularly for their hopping gait They cannot walk because their hind legs are incapable of independent motion \u2014 nor can they hop backwards For them, forward hopping is the only way most of them can move \u2014 other than the rarer tree kangaroos, that is.Tree kangaroos possess independent motion in their large hind legs so they can climb trees.But even this too reverts to hopping when on the ground Because of their large back legs, they are in a classification known as macropods.Kangaroo pouches Macropod marsupials' pouches open forwards \u2014\tthis is in contrast to the wombat, for instance, whose pouch opens backwards There are advantages to a rear opening pouch as the tiny wombat.after being bom, can both find and then wriggle easily into its mother's pouch In contrast, the naked, 1.5 cm-long, blind kangaroo baby must navigate from its mother\u2019s vagina up through the forest of her fur (the hairs of which point downward toward the mother's tail) to find the pouch's opening It's a miracle these tiny, defenseless babies can find and crawl into the pouch However, once inside, the baby discovers a warm, secure haven where they can feed upon one of four teats Kangaroo capabilities Nature is rooted in competition and survival of the fittest Female kangaroos, like several animal species such as our North American bears, can delay the development of a fertilized egg, holding onto it inside her body until conditions are right for what should be a healthy pregnancy and birth.Human beings do not have this capability, but it's an incredibly useful characteristic.If you're a wild animal and there is a drought, if you are sick, or if there exist a host of other impede ments to good chances of survival both for mother and young, the growth or delay of development of the fertilized egg, or blastocyst as it is called.therefore depends upon the external environment\u2019s effect upon the mother \u2014 or illness.Even more astonishing perhaps, once a kangaroo becomes pregnant, she also becomes fertile again After mating, a blastocyst develops, waiting until the already-developing embryo is birthed Then it will start to grow In other words, a sexually mature, healthy female kangaroo is \u201calways pregnant\u2019 if we count the presence of a blastocyst as being pregnant Pouch politics Once the young is secure in its mother\u2019s pouch, who knew there would be competition for the four teats?Here\u2019s what the Bible of Aussie mammals, The Australian Museum Complete Book of Australian Mammals, tells us: \u201cThe situation is complicated by the fact that a young macropod does not cease to suckle immediately after leaving the pouch: weaning extends over several weeks, dunng which penod it suckles by inserting its head into the pouch.From the time of birth to the time of weaning, it feeds from the same teat, so its younger sibling must therefore attach itself to one of the other three teats.\u2019 Kangaroo stamina It is unusual in the animal world for a female mammal to have to contend with breastfeeding her young of two completely different generations.But this is what the amazing kangaroo does.And that\u2019s another thing: I cannot imagine how uncomfortable it must surely be to be standing grazing, and have the baby (called a joey) scramble with its sharp claws so it can jump out of its mother\u2019s pouch Nor can I imagine the young jumping back into the pouch And now that IVe seen this type of jumping in and-out for myself, I wonder even more at it.However, kangaroos are obviously exquisitely well-designed not to mind either scenario, and that\u2019s quite something when you think about it.How many kangaroos' pouch flap or abdomen are torn and become infected after being ripped by their own young?Astonishing marsupials Because I'm traveling through Australia, locals forgive me for thinking 'roos, possums, wombats, and other entters are so fascinating If you are a regular reader of this column, you'll know that all animals fascinate me However, just as in Pontiac, many farmers as well as urban dwellers consider all of these Australian marsupials and other wild mammals such as brumbies and camels, senous pests Having kangaroos grazing valuable pastureland displeases station (ranch) owners - but \u2019at least\u2019 they are a native species The feral camel, however, is not: it is a natu ralized, introduced escapee, which is proliferating at an alarming rate in the Outback Their popu lations are the reason why, right now, the Australian government intends to cull 60.000 feral camels Whatever side of the fence you sit on, I think wr can all agree these living creatures with whom we share our natural world are fascinating \u2014 and well adapted to their environment

The structure cost $15,000 and is suitable for children aged five to 12.Another play structure that also cost $15,000 was revealed in 2008.Now the two contraptions add a lot of colour tuid entertainment to the park.Sponsors of the project were Fonds Agri Esprit de Fac, who donated $10,000, SADC who donated $2,500, Chevaliers de Colomb who donated $ 1,000, Député Mme.Charlotte L\u2019Ecuyer who donated $600, Phtirmacie Julie Jones who donated $100, Promutuel LaVallee who donated $100, Les Filles d\u2019Isabelle who donated $50 and Lionel Tessier who donated $50.\"This year we received $10,000.What a surprise that was.It was wonderful,\u2019 said Benoit Paré, Gabie's father.Benoit used to be the president of Les Amis du Parc before his daughter took over.It\u2019s been close to 10 years since the organization was started after the idea was brought up at council There was a committee of about four people on Les Amis du Parc before Benoit took over.He organized all of the events for about five years.The principle is to provide activities for kids and give them things to do,\u2019 said Benoit.Au Parc du Centenaire de Fort-Coulonge began to see changes 10 years ago once the committee formed and they started making renovation plans.Now children can enjoy swings, slides, two play structures, a roundabout and some other toys and apparatuses.'Before we started renovating it was not very functioned,* said Benoit.\u2019Security was a concern of ours The SCHL (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) look after criteria for parks They decided to invest and help make it a real ptu-k.We needed money for set up and the toys to be installed We got between $30,000 to $40,000 the first year.\u2019 There was nothing here a few years ago.They started building chairs and benches and it started from there,\u2019 Gabie added.*1 have kids I\u2019m doing this for them and all other kids too.* In 2006, La fête des Amis du Peut became registered as an association with the government.'I consider myself nonprofit but I\u2019m retdly not.I\u2019m registered with the government,\u2019 said Gabie.They needed to freshen up the pEirk.\u2019 Family fun day takes place every two years, and everything is donated by local businesses.There was Andrea CfcriflWd THE EQUITY Family fun day activities included face painting, a barbecue, pony rides, firefighter activities and more.AncPeo Cranfleld THE EQUITY Emilie Godin, 5, enjoys a pony ride on Smokey.Pony rides were provided by R.S.Ranch in Mansfield.a barbecue, pony rides, balloons, cupcakes, face pEunt-ing, wagon rides to the Patro (pulled by a truck), activities with Fort Coulonge firefighters, playground fun and more.This was the third family fun day.Tim Graveline and Irene Labelle brought their three children to family fun day and said they thought it was great.\u2019It was a lot of fun,* said Labelle.The new structure is fantastic.\u2019 Graveline added, \u201cI used to play in this park when I was a kid.I think it\u2019s great what they\u2019re doing.I love it and the kids love it.\u2019 Alyssa Labelle, 13 said she really enjoyed the day and had a lot of fun.Her favourite activity was the pony rides.Gabie hopes to keep adding to the park to get more use out of it.As a high school teacher she thought one possibility would be to add something that teenagers might enjoy.*1 surveyed the kids at school and asked them What would you like in the park?\" All they said was they wanted tables and chairs.\u2019 said Gabie.She thought of Life Trsul outdoor fitness equipment Andrea Cranfleld THE EQUITY Sisters Kayla Legault, left, and Vanessa Legault had a great time at family fun day on Aug.8.After waiting patiently for a cupcake.Kayla finally gets to enjoy her treat.or perhaps, something to do with water.\u2019It\u2019s harder to please teenagers than smsdl kids,* she said.Gabie also hopes to one day build a gazebo for picnics in the park.JOHN A.BURNETT LTD.( ASKIH M 4\\Xt M 114 MUM 4B.M W I IER.2S«i URN C ASKIH JXIIMt MUM 4B.I I1K.I420 HRs ( VSE III MM I IA MIIM 4B.I 1ER C AM'III D\\44 MUM 4R.I IER.2»* HRS CASKIH 42484 MIDI AKIM C 4M III < V8* - Ml n.Rors.l HR : »mi HRS CASKIH 8*4X1 MUM SR I DK CASKIH A84XI 44HM 4B.I 1ER CASKIH DM4 I DH44* HRS CAS» (*4*SMI>Slt»R IH 784 1 1ER IH 724 - ( AK1MI HRS USED TRACTOR BLOWOUT !!

DRE.ISABELLE GAGNON La hernie discale Vous est-il déjà arrivé d\u2019éternuer et de ressentir une douleur au bas du\tdos?Bizarre, non?Lorsque vous êtes assis durant une longue pénode vous ressentez aussi une douleur au bas du dos?Dés que vous sollicitez moin drement les muscles de votre dos, la douleur se fait à nouveau sentir?Et bien, sachez que vous pouvez souffrir d'une hernie discale On en entend souvent par 1er, mais on ne comprend pas toujours exactement en quoi ça consiste.La hernie discale La colonne vertébrale est composée de vertèbres, de disques intervertébraux, de la moelle épinière et de nerfs spinaux.Le disque intervertébral est un coussin de cartilage qui relie chacune des vertébrés mobiles entre elles.Les disques ont trois fonctions principales : Permettre le mouvement de la colonne vertébrale Absorber les chocs et les impacts.Assurer aux nerfs assez d\u2019espace pour émerger de la colonne.Le disque est constitué de deux parties:\tle noyau interne, d\u2019apparence gélatineuse, qui est entouré par l\u2019anneau fibreux, composé de plusieurs couches de cartilage.Dans son état normal, le disque ne déborde ni vers l\u2019avant, ni vers l'arrière, ni vers les côtés.Un disque ne peut pas se « déplacer \u2022 ou \u2022 glisser \u2022 : il s\u2019amincit, se bombe, se fendille ou se rompt.Une protrusion discale survient lorsque le noyau pousse dans les fibres les plus faibles de l'anneau cartilagineux.Ce bombement peut affecter le canal où se situe le système nerveux.À un degré supérieur, lorsque le noyau traverse complètement toutes les couches de cartilage, on parle alors d\u2019hernie discale Les fibres de l'anneau sont ainsi rompues et des fragments du noyau peuvent être libérés dans le canal contenant le système nerveux Le disque perd sa fonction d\u2019absorption des chocs et les mouvements sont très douloureux.Egalement, une irritation au niveau des nerfs peut survenir et c'est pour cette raison que l\u2019on retrouve souvent de la douleur qui irradie dans une jambe (sciatalgie ou \u2022 nerf sciatique \u2022} ou dans un bras Si le disque n'irrite pas le nerf, il est possible que la hernie passe inaperçue Comment est-ce que ça arrive?Si les pressions sur le disque sont trop élevées feu si le dos est constamment sollicité par des mouvements répétitifs, une hernie discale peut survenir.Avec le temps, le noyau gélatineux contenu à l\u2019intérieur du disque s\u2019asséche et la colonne vertébrale perd de sa tonicité et de son élasticité.Lage est donc la cause principale de dégénérescence discale.Les personnes âgées de 35 ans à 55 ans sont le plus à risques.Le disque est plus disposé à se blesser en rotation ou en flexion: ces mouvements peuvent causer des déchirures à la circonférence de l'anneau fibreux du disque.Une action brusque combinée à une mauvaise posture, comme soulever une lourde charge en position de torsion du tronc, est un geste risqué.Un bon exemple est le mouvement de pelletage de la neige Des faiblesses dans la paroi du disque sont alors présentes, ce qui est propice à la hernie.Une hernie discale cause des douleurs sévères et aigües ainsi que des spasmes musculaires importants La douleur peut aussi s'étendre à une autre partie du corps, qui correspond au nerf touché par le bombement du disque.À long terme, on note une faiblesse et une diminution du tonus des muscles reliés au nerf touché par la hernie.Prévention Comment est-ce que je peux prévenir l\u2019apparition d'une hernie discale?Faire régulièrement de l\u2019exercice, s\u2019échauffer avant d'entreprendre une activité physique et éviter les mouvements à risque est obligatoire.11 s'agit du meilleur moyen de conserver la force et la souplesse de votre dos.Les députés confirment 175 logements communautaires OUTAOUA1S \u2022 Le ministre délégué aux Transports et ministre responsable de la région de l'Outaouais, monsieur Norman MacMillan, la députée de Gatineau, madame Stéphanie Vallée, la députée de Pontiac, madame Charlotte L Ecuyer, la députée de Hull, madame Maryse Gaudreault et le député de Chapleau, monsieur Marc Carrière, au nom du ministre des Affaires municipales, des Régions et de l'Occupation du territoire, monsieur Laurent Lessard, ont confirmé que le gouvernement du Québec permettra la construction de 175 logements communautaires et abordables supplémentaires dans la ville de Gatineau, ce qui entraînera des investissements de 21 millions de dollars Mes collègues et moi sommes très heureux de cette annonce qui constitue une excellente nouvelle, tant pour les ménages dans le besoin que pour notre économie régionale.Grâce à ces investissements, nous contribuerons a améliorer la qualité de vie de nos citoyens et, du même coup, nous stimulerons lactivité économique de la region\", a déclaré le ministre MacMillan Rappelons que le dernier budget, rendu public le 30 mars dernier, comporte plusieurs mesures totalisant 323,4 M$ dinvestissements supplémentaires pour aider à mieux loger les ménages québécois Le gouvernement du Québec a notamment annoncé la construction de 3 000 nouveaux logements communautaires et abordables au Québec.Cela représente 210 millions de dollars additionnels consentis pour le programme Accès Logis Québec et porte (objectif gouvernemental de 27 000 nouveaux logements communautaires à 30 000 Cette somme hausse à près de 1,3 milliard de dollars l aide totale accordée depuis 2003 à ce chapitre.Avoir un logement de qualité, c'est essentiel et nous l\u2019avons bien compris.C'est pourquoi nous intensifions nos interventions et déployons beaucoup def-forts pour qu un plus grand nombre de Gatinois et de Gatinoises puisse trouver un milieu de vie adapté à leurs besoins\", a ajouté le ministre MacMillan Je suis très heureux de ces\tinvestissements puisqu'ils permettront à la Ville de Gatineau d atteindre son objectif annuel en matière de nouveaux loge ments abordables.Les besoins pour ce type de logements sont importants dans Gatineau puisque la Ville connaîtra la plus forte croissance démographique au cours des 20 prochaines années au Québec\", a déclaré le maire de Gatineau, monsieur Marc Bureau.Mentionnons également que depuis le 1er juin dernier, tout nouveau projet d habitation réalisé en vertu du programme AccèsLogts Québec doit être conçu de façon à obtenir la certification Novoclimat L efficacité énergétique constitue une mesure importante du plan de développement durable de la Société d habitation du Québec Nous avons comme objectif de poursuivre le développement de projets structurants pour 1 avenir, des projets plus performants, plus verts et plus sains pour les citoyennes et les citoyens du Québec ainsi que pour les générations fritures, qui sont de plus en plus écoresponsables ', a fait savoir le ministre Laurent Lessard.Il est aussi important de maintenir un poids santé.Dans certains autres cas, la musculature de l\u2019abdomen et du dos doit être renforcée afin de bien soutenir la colonne vertébrale Enfin, il faut se réserver des moments de détente et de repos Si vous devez rester en position debout, servez-vous d'un tabouret bas sur lequel vous poserez les pieds à tour de rôle, en alternant toutes les cinq à duc minutes.Si vous devez rester assis durant de longues heures, accordez-vous des périodes de repos.Levez vous, faites

Golf Course Thirty-three men participated and well over $300 in prizes was won.\"People came from all over the region to play.There are people from Norway Bay, Shawville, north of Shawville, Ottawa etc.,' said James McCambly who started the tournament because there were no other low net tournaments around Anyone who has a handicap from Norway Bay or an index from another golf club is welcome to enter.An index is a way of knowing what a golfers' handicap is at any golf club A handicap determines a player\u2019s net score from the number of strokes actually played In this wav, players of different skill levels can compete against each other with an even playing field.The lower the handicap score is, the better the player is.\u201cThey used to always have a handicap.Now they have an index With an index, you can take it to any club and look at their sheets and say their index is for example, 68 2 or whatever, and you know what handicap you have at any club It's transportable, it's very, very accurate.\" said McCambly.McCambly organized the tournament with Jim Power and Louie Batstone McCambly has been organizing the tournament every year since it began and he plays in it as well McCambly thought he would start a tournament with an entry fee and more prizes to give away that was based on low net scores.People of any age are welcome to play in it.The low gross score is the total score and the low net score is the total score minus the handicap.\u2018If you have a handicap and we know over the course of 20 games or so how well you play, that gives you a handicap or index so everybody is playing virtually equal.Gross is the best person wins.Net is everybody is equal,\u2019\tMcCambly explained \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work getting ready for it but it\u2019s fun, I enjoy it,\u2019 said McCambly.\"I OVERTIME I LUKE MURPHY Proper rest Last week I f\twrote about the t -» importance of athletes training aJ continuously year round, if they want to find success.Of course, it\u2019s important to continue to work on your sport, continue to hone your skills and not let your guard down.But it's equally important to get the rest and sleep your body needs.Four things you must do to improve and maintain your health: eat nght, exercise, manage vour stress level, and get proper rest.Let\u2019s talk about proper rest.Working out consistently is one of the best things you can do for yourself, but there is a limit to your body's stress level.Exercise helps keep the body and mind vibrant, but never overlook the essential need for rest.When you rest, the body rebuilds, repairs, and grows.Doing too much too quickly will result in injury or muscle damage This is why rest and sleep in your life is so important.You need to find that happy medium.Getting a good night\u2019s sleep is important because your body actually does a lot of its healing during this time.Without rest your body starts breaking down.Think about how you function when you\u2019re tired and haven Y slept \u2014 you can Y concentrate, your reflexes are slower, and you might be less patient and more irritable.This goes for your body also.Most of the time, sleep is taken for granted.Proper sleep in proper amounts is essential I canY believe the number of people I know who try to function on less than five hours of sleep, when six to eight hours per night is the minimum requirement.Getting proper rest is important for everyone, and those who have a hard time falling asleep can feel the effects more than others Trust me, it shows We know who sleeps well and who doesnY.For those of you who work out and exercise regularly, integrating recovery time into your training program is important because it\u2019s during your rest time when the real effects of your workout begin to take place \u2014 your body is able to replenish and repair damages.Without this sufficient time your body will continue to break down from intensive exercise Symptoms of overtraining and improper rest include a feeling of general sluggishness, depression, decreased performance and increased risk of injury, among others.During sleep, when the entire system is slowed down breathing is slower, heart beats are regular, digestion is lessened, and nerves and muscles are relaxed \u2014 the body\u2019s maintenance system has a chance to run its course.Thus we understand that rest and sleep is essential for the system to be able to continue in its function and also build up the body.Remember not to over do it! Too much of anything is a bad thing.You need to be able to balance exercise and rest, or you won Y see those improvements you desperately seek.You\u2019ll only take a step back.That\u2019s my two cents.What do you think?Murphy is a former profes siorxal hockey player who now resides in Shawville contact him at news(athee quityca.Pontiac Baseball League teams have played 14 games with playoffs approaching ANDREA CRANFIELD Equity Reporter MANSFIELD August 11,2010 Each team on the Pontiac Baseball League has now played 14 games so far this season The six women\u2019s teams and six men\u2019s teams have been playing some exciting games of ball all summer at the Amyotte baseball field in Mansfield.The women play every Tuesday and the men play every Sunday.The teams play strictly for the love of baseball.It is all volunteer run and there are no prizes or money involved.The playoffs are on Aug.20-22 at the Amyotte ball field.Everyone is welcome and people are asked to bring food donations for Bouffe Pontiac.If there are any questions, please call Rene Ladouceur at 819-683-2740 Here are the results of the games- like to organize things like that It's quite a bit of work but everybody says they really enjoy it.\u2019 Don McCaffrey has played in the tournament for many years and said he had a great time this year \u2018It was fine, wonderful Even the weather cooperated,\u2019 he said McCaffrey has been playing golf for the past 15 years, \u2019Ever since I came to the bay \u2019 He plays for the camaraderie and not the score \u2018It\u2019s so much fun, it\u2019s so social It's not about who wins or loses,\u2019 he said \u2018I just like the camaraderie \u2019 On Saturday the winners were as follows: Jim Power was the first place low net trophy winner of the tournament, winning a $30 pnze He also won the trophy, which McCambly made 11 years ago This was his second year winning the tournament.The second place low net score winner was Brian Huck who won $20 Lee Batstone and John Melbourne tied for third place and received $5 each Kevin Koehane won the low gross score shooting 81.He received a $15 pnze James McCambly, left, presents the winning trophy to Jim Power who won the 10th annual low net McCambly tournament at Norway Bay Golf Course.McCambly made the trophy himself 11 years ago.On Sunday the winners were as follows:\tLee Batstone got his ball closest to the pin on hole number three Kevin Koehane was closest on hole number five.Steve Moffat got hole number six, John Foster number seven.Wilf Brousseau number eight and nine.The team winners on Sunday were as follows: Team number one was D.Hamilton, D McCaffery, T.Gamble and Hillis Connelly Team number two was D.Macaw, B Osborne, Tim Oakes and W Brousseau.Team number three was Koehane, D McKercher and John Foster \u2019A great time was had by the participants, we hope to have 40 next year,\u2019 said McCambly.The date for next year\u2019s tournament is set only a couple weeks after this year's tournement ends.R.PECK Randy Reck 819 459-2924 «mNnw.rpeckcoiistrocdon.cefn E-mail specks rpeckconstnictton com DREAMSTAR BEDDING jrum $129 wur*_ $429 W\" una _ $329 Tuna $999 I * Û \u2022 o » RECLINING ROCKERS COMPLETE BEDROOM SUITES W.YM Yund(.OmofCX»er\\ \\ Two-Year Consecutive Diamond Award Winner!

Even though weight was not a factor this year, Lillian Weber, the membership chairman of the PMFGC said there were quite a few large catfish that were caught.\u201cThe big ones seem to be biting today,\u201d she said.The few people who did take part in the tournament seemed to have a good time.Rick Larocque, from Norway Bay, comes to the derby every year and said he really enjoyed it this year He has been fishing for the past 40 years or so and said he\u2019s always loved fishing.When not participating in derbies, he likes to fish on his own.Seven fish were caught between him, his wife Rita Larocque and grandson Raymond Perriard, 7.\u201cThe derbies are fun, I like them,\" said Larocque.\u201cRaymond comes every year too, he loves fishing.We just like to get out in the boat and fish \u2019 Raymond agreed that the derby is fun and said he had a great time.Since catfish are bottom feeders, Larocque uses minnows as bait and puts his fishing line on the bottom of the river \u2018We tried worms but it didn\u2019t work,\u201d he said.Laro< que and his family arrived at the derby at 8:30 a m.They came m to shore to eat lunch before heading back out on the water again.They called it a day at 4:40.\u201cIt was fun but that\u2019s long enough,\u201d said Larocque.Gerard Trudeau has been fishing for 40 years and said it was a good derby He liked the fact that it was a catfish derby because he thinks catfish are easier to catch than other fish, although that didn\u2019t stop Gerard from reeling in some other catches.\u201cI caught seven catfish, two pike, five bass and one pickerel,\" he said.\u201cI just threw them all back.\u201d Gerard said he likes fishing because he just likes the sport of it.He has been in a number of derbies over the years.After the derby the fishermen headed over to the Legion to eat dinner and talk fish talk.Ron, who has been president of the PMFGC for the past 10 years said it was a lot of work to organize the derby but there were a lot of volunteers that helped out.\u201cI do all of the advertising and get everyone organized.I tell everyone about the event and hope everyone shows up at the dock.I just try to get everyone out and make a few dollars,\u201d said Ron.All of the money made at the derby is going towards the next event the PMFGC puts on, stocking the waters with fish and perhaps a charity as well.\u201cWe don\u2019t need money except to run the next event.We just go from one event to the next.I'm not sure what charity it will be this year.It\u2019s the last event of the year,\" said Ron.\u201cOur mandate is to

people go fishing they have nice big trout to catch.\" If someone allows members from the PMFGC to fish in a lake on their property, the members will fill up the lake with fish for them Ron was hoping to make enough money at the derby to donate some to the boardwalk in Quyon.But the PMFGC also needs enough money for the next event.There is going to be a meeting at a later date to discuss

5.2010 There aren\u2019t many activities grandparents and grandchildren can enjoy together, said Linda Thompson The co-owner of Norway Bay Golf Course said golfing is the exception.\u201cWhat else can a 17-year-old boy do with his grandparents?1 think it s the best sport because of the family connection,\u201d she said After a month of golf in July, the relationship between seniors and youth golfers capped off Thursday, with the Junior Club Tournament.With close to 20 players playing, the season ended with healthy and measured competition between players in both the \u2018A\u2019 and \u201cB\u2019 Divisions.Players in the \u2019A\u2019 section were 14 to 17-years-old, and players in the \u201cB\u2019 division could be as young as 10.\u201cIt s a very adult experience for them,\u201d said Thompson, about the competition.The seniors may have years of experience but many of the young players have grown up on the greens Thirteen-year-old Ayden Hod gins is one young golfer who has been on the links for \u201cmany years,\u201d swinging his first club at the age of five.\u201cIt teaches a lot of different qualities, like respect for the course, patience, and just all around stuff that you need to become a good adult and a good citizen,\u201d said Hodgms about the benefits of the sport and interaction with the seniors.According to Hodgins, golfing with seniors also lessened the chances of cheating.\u201cNobody\u2019s going to try and get one stroke off, which is good,\u201d he said In the \u2018A\u2019 division, Riley Young, from Bristol played a close game against Dylan McNamara, with the winner decided on the ninth hole.Fifteen-year-old McNamara, from Aylmer was the division winner.He finished seven over par, with a final tally of 39.According to the defending champion the best part of the «day was: \u201cPlaying against other kids around my age and trying to win the tournament.\u201d While players enjoyed the competition, the benefits of playing are countless, said Ashley Monn.She works at Norway Bay Golf course and helped organise players for the tournament \u201cIt s experience, it's for fun and they get to meet new people, its a challenge for them,\" Morin said The day was all about players under 65, but the seniors are fundamental to the tournament, said Thompson \u201cWe have seniors that are the backbone of the junior golf tournament,\u201d she said.Winners were announced at the end of the tournament, with one special gift that went to a player based on chance rather than skill level.Along with the Norway Bay Golf Course, local Leonard Hall sponsored a club membership to be given to a player for the next season The winner was determined by draw Hall isn't a golf player, but he plans to continue to cosponsor the season pass in the future: \u201cEvery year, as long as I'm alive,\u201d he said As for how the tournament went, senior Ed Watters thought it was a success \u2018Excellent, they re very courteous and
