CANADA POST AGREEMENT #40037986 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING BUILDING PERMIT FEES SET FINES AND REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS ON BUILDING PERMITS Pursuant to the Building Code Act Sections 6, 7, 8, Notice is hereby provided for a Public Meeting to be held on: WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 in the Council Chambers of the Oliver Paipoonge Municipal Complex, 4569 Oliver Road for a proposed change to the building permit fee schedule as listed below: BY-LAW NO. 618-2016 amending By-law No. 673-2012 by adding “Schedule C” SET FINES BY-LAW NO. 619-2016 amending By-law No. 673-2012 by adding “Schedule D” REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS ON BUILDING PERMITS The following is a list of refundable deposits on Building Permits: YOUR HEAT NEEDS - MET HERE www.hhimporters.ca • • • • • • Outdoor Wood Furnace Products “Classic” outdoor wood & dual fuel furnaces “eClassic” & “Edge” high efficiency down draft models “Maxim” user-friendly and highest efficiency wood pellet furnace Thermopex & Rehau pre-insulated barrier pex pipe Installation & replacement parts for outdoor wood furnaces Lac Wood Premium softwood pellets (bagged or bulk) Outdoor Wood Furnace Services • Repair • Maintenance • Inspection Note: The general penalty provision for the offences listed above is Section 36, of the Building Code Act, 1992, S.O. 1992, c.23 page 2, The Oliver Paipoonge News, May 2016 Your Authorized Central Boiler Dealer 939-1152 3879 Hwy 11/17 May 1 to 7 is EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WEEK. I am absolutely convinced everyone has a 72 hour emergency kit ready at all times, but if you have lost yours now is a good time to build your kit. Emergency kits do not have to cost a lot of money or be the Cadillac version you probable have most items already. Just not in one place or in a kit. Check out the website WWW.ONTARIO.CA/BEPREPARED for good information on what should go into your preparedness kit. Having the basics immediately available may never be needed, but in the event there is an emergency and you must immediately evacuate, having your emergency kit will be a life saver. There are many variables and differences for each family that I am not able to set out a generic kit. Going to the Ontario web site is your best and safest bet. There are many emergency sites out there, most trying to sell you a kit. The Ontario site is an approved and safe site with good information. If you have any questions you can call the fire station at 935 2622. If you have an emergency, be it illness, injury or fire, DIAL 911 immediately. Provide the operator with the information needed for the fire and emergency services to respond with the proper resources. It is hard to answer questions when you are in a hurry or upset, but the information is vital to those responding to your call. Remember, we would rather respond to a call and not be required, than not be called to respond and should have responded. Your fire and emergency services volunteers will be continuing to train and improve our skills all summer with training courses and exercises. This takes a lot of time away from our families and other hobbies. Our Municipality is very fortunate and can be proud of all our volunteers for their dedication and professionalism in providing both fire and emergency services whenever needed. So when you see them out training, or taking a few moments to enjoy the summer, take a second to let them know their efforts are appreciated. As Always, Have a safe month 4572 Oliver Rd.

I received a call that I have to send congratulations to Penny and Ron Smith as they will be celebrating their 50th anniversary in June. 1966 sure was a busy year! One week in April was set aside to recognize volunteers. In Oliver Paipoonge we sure have no shortage of them. I just convened the Soup and Sandwich, in support of the Duke Hunt Historical Museum. I made 30 phone calls for food, etc. and was never refused. Special mention must go out to Sheila, Linda, Marie and Anita for running the kitchen so efficiently. We made a total of $750.00 for the Museum. Thanks to everyone! SPEAKING OF VOLUNTEERS.....Slate River is in dire need of help to organize kids baseball. This is a great way to get out one night a week for fun and exercise and learn the basics of baseball and sportsmanship. Should start about mid May and run for 6 weeks, weather permitting.

FULLY INSURED The Oliver Paipoonge News, May 2016 page 5 Do I Look Fat in This? Chix in the Stix Now there’s a loaded question for you right? I don’t really want to know the answer. Here’s the thing. Remember a couple of months ago when I was talking about skating and the ordeal of bending over to tie up your skates while wearing multiple layers of clothes and not being able to breathe? Well with the recent spring-like weather I started discarding some items from my daily dress code. First went the socks. I much prefer to be barefoot, even in my boots. Then went my old faithful ‘holy’ button-up sweater. Then the tights and the pair of leggings I like to wear under my pants to stay warm. Which is when I discovered the truth. You know those layers I was having trouble with? They weren’t clothes at all. They’re attached. To me. Seems I’ve added a few layers over the winter months. I had a hunch. The seat belt was getting a bit snugger. I kept blaming it on my bulky winter coat. And now that summer is on the horizon it’s time to face fats. I mean facts. I need to shed some real layers. Warm weather helps. I’m not a big fan of the cold so outdoor activities in the winter simply aren’t my cup of tea. But spring and summer are different. And it isn’t unusual for me to drop a few sizes doing my everyday warm weather chores. Which got me thinking about all the money people spend on gym memberships to stay fit and trim. We could really just start up a ‘country club’ and have city folks come out here and work on our farms, big and small, or in our country yards, and charge them for it. We’d have to package it up for them, use some creative marketing, give it some fancy name, maybe start a farm just for this project alone. We could hold classes on how to split and pile firewood, how to bend and pick rows of berries, peas and beans. Potato digging. Corn shucking. Clearing brush. Digging trenches. Tossing bales of hay. Mending fences. Hanging laundry. Heck, driving tractors even. Think of all the muscle groups you use each day in the course of your country life doing chores that are just part of your normal routine. The carefully planned moves required for shovelling the winter layers from the chicken coup by Cindy Harasen alone would be hard to match in your standard Zumba or weight lifting class. I don’t think there’s a Bowflex or Nordic Track or exercise bike around that could give you the full body work out you can get from working on a farm. Especially not with the bonus of the fresh air on top of it all. There might really be a business idea in here somewhere! At the very least we hard working country folk don’t ever have to worry about joining a gym to keep in shape. Our prized rural lifestyle guarantees regular opportunities to exercise and maintain our robust chiselled physiques. Give me a month or two of that country yoga and I’ll hopefully peel off another layer and be able to find mine again!

You probably knew that. After researching May 1966 I added it to list of dates I've written about, and surprise - I already did it.

I enjoyed a Mocha while looking over my photocopies and deciding what news to write about. When I worked at the library we went there for lunch *every* Wednesday. I still try to get there every few weeks. If you go in the winter months, Tom makes amazing soups. Well I hope you have a pleasant May and wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day.
