Car smashes into downtown business DEREK DUNN

A car rammed into a wall in downtown Arnprior on Monday morning. A burgundy GMC Terrain jumped the newly widened sidewalk at 125 John St. in late morning, hitting Star-Set Jewellers before coming to a rest. It was leaking fluid when emergency crews arrived on scene. By noon police and firefighters were still on scene and the street was reduced to one lane. There was no ambulance to be seen. Fire Chief Jeff Crawford said it would be speculation to talk about the cause, but did add the SUV struck a parked vehicle before hitting the wall. It also narrowly missed a natural gas line and meter. On arrival the fire department established and maintained scene safety, disabled and immobilized the vehicle so no further damage could be done, disconnected the car battery to reduce the possibility of a spark causing a fire and made sure the gas line was not leaking. “We also assessed the wall, which had structural damage and determined there was no danger of collapse and that safety to building occupants was not compromised,” Crawford said. “Thankfully and luckily there were no pedestrians walking by at the time this happened. “Firefighters waited on scene to make sure the vehicle was safely

It narrowly missed a natural gas meter and caused what appears to be significant damage inside the business. No injuries occurred. removed from the wall and loaded on to a flatbed tow truck.” Crawford confirmed there were no injuries. Amy O’Connor works at Star-Set.

She took numerous photos of the interior showing broken glass, overturned tables with items strewn on the floor, and a lengthy crack in the wall leading from the window.

“It’ll take a couple of days for an insurance adjuster to come in and assess how much damage was really done,” she said. The external brick wall is also cracked.

Area municipal leaders are being asked to support postal services and workers now that a federal review has tabled 45 recommendations. One suggestion by the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates is to convert postal offices into “community hubs.” Councils in Renfrew, McNab/Braeside, Horton, Madawaska Valley and elsewhere were provided a copy of a letter sent to Carla Qualtrough, minister of Public Services and Procurement. Renfrew and Horton have sent letters of support. The Liberal government is considering, among other suggestions, a restoration of doorto-door delivery nation-wide after the former Conservative government began instituting community mailboxes (CMB). Diane Mitchell with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers spoke to McNab/Braeside council at the Dec. 19 meeting, asking for backing on such issues as: · Maintain Canada Post’s moratorium on CMB conversion and restore door-to-door delivery for all households that lost it; · Maintain the moratorium on post office closures and examine how to expand their opening hours; · Assess how Canada Post could offer more services through existing retail network; · Study how to transform post offices into community hubs;

· Study the possibility of using Canada Post to offer wide band internet services and better cellular phone services in rural areas; · Develop a specific and rigorous process for collaboration between Canada Post and municipalities. Mitchell argued that postal services are an economic positive for rural communities in particular. But postal workers could be tasked with other duties, such as checking on elderly residents. Post offices could offer recharging stations for electric vehicles. An idea tossed around last year was for Canada Post to offer banking services in rural areas. Deputy Mayor Brian Armsden asked for more details on internet and cellular service improvements. Mitchell had no further information, but did mention residents could, in the future, access internet services on a computer at post offices. Council will consider supporting the letter at a later date. Renfrew council approved a motion to petition the federal government to continue doorto-door delivery and expand postal services. “I am totally in favour of door-to-door delivery and I am not in favour of postal boxes as a number of corners in Renfrew would be affected,” said Mayor Don Eady. “I really think in my case if I got mail twice a week I would be happy and I agree and think we should look at different ways of offering services.”

Arnprior staff suggests 1.5% tax increase; some fees may rise DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Town of Arnprior staff has suggested a 1.5 per cent municipal tax increase for this year. At the Jan. 8 meeting, council learned that the average homeowner (assessed at $226,500) would pay an additional $100 this year, when including the education and estimated county portions. The town would get about $80 of that. Council will pore over the draft 2018 budget and take in resident suggestions over the next month to adjust spending priorities and find savings. A surplus from 2017 is also possible, and if provincial grants for work on William Street and lights at Nick Smith Centre come in, the town could have another $1.5 million in the bank. Talks take place Feb. 20 and 21, with a vote expected at the Feb. 26 meeting. The county’s rate is set on April 30, with the final overall rate established in May. When introducing the document, chief administrative officer Michael Wildman said the draft budget follows council’s desire for paying upfront (to avoid interest charges) for capital projects. It also sets aside money to replace equipment and facilities to prevent sudden tax spikes in future. “What you see here is a solid pay-as-you-go budget,” Wildman said. The town is on track to be debt free by 2033, provided no major expenses arise. Currently its annual payment — following the downtown revitalization that required some borrowing — is just under $2.9 million. Councillors made it known to staff that road and sidewalk repairs outside the downtown are now a priority. Often, as a cost-savings, resurfacing is accompanied with water and sewer pipe replacements. That will take place this construction season at the western end of William Street. In fact, William will cost about $2 million over the next two years. Together with paying off downtown revitalization, not a lot is left for other projects. Gary Crescent will be resurfaced this year, and regular “rolling rehabilitation” – meaning filling in potholes and cracks – will take place. But other streets in decay will have to wait. Reeve Walter Stack asked about MacDonald Street in particular. “It’s every bit as bad as Craig and Hugh,” Stack said. Nearby Tierney and Landrigan streets were done in recent years.

Following the meeting, Wildman talked about • $25,000 assessment cost for D.A. Gillies • $20,000 for a reverse osmosis water system; the Assessment Management Plan (AMP) that (museum) building; • $20,000 for a municipal government app. determines when to redo roads. • $55,000 to replace emerald ash trees, espeContributions to reserves could total “When we over contributed in 2016 and 2017 cially at Caruso Park; $331,000 this year to $4.4 million. we knew that there would be a short recovery period where we would do a little less per year afterwards, but our average linear asset life cycling will still be in line with the 2017 AMP target of $2.7 million per year,” he said. The town spends significantly more than in the past. In 2010 it was $363,000; the next year $185,000; then $807,000; followed by $1.1-, 1.4-, and $1.8-million in the lead up to the $10-million revitalization. So while there is a slowdown on roadwork ahead, in the plans for the coming years are Alicia Street in 2020 and 2021; Craig and Hugh will see work in 2021; Hugh again in 2022, along Notice of Public Meeting Regarding Development Charges with Third Avenue.

Conservative insider challenges Cheryl Gallant for nomination DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

It’s official — there is a race to represent the federal Conservative party in the riding of Renfrew-NipissingPembroke. On Friday, Jan. 12, Mike Coates of Greater Madawaska was accepted as a candidate to face off against incumbent MP Cheryl Gallant. No other candidates have emerged. The two will try to boost membership sales until the vote happens, likely on the weekend of Feb. 23-24 at two locations. Gallant, who has been the MP since 2000, requested and received the short campaign race, even though the party opened up the nomination process in order to grow the membership following the Liberal majority victory in 2015. “Your continued trust allows me to raise the issues that are important to you and your family,” Gallant said on her website. “You know from my record, I will always defend our way of life, even when outsiders do not understand.” Coates sat down with Metroland Media at the Arnprior Public Library to offer his take on a number of topics, including democratic renewal, the local economy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Andrew Scheer. He wanted to make it a race in part because debate and giving a platform to a wide array of ideas are important to him. Following the loss of power after back-to-back majority governments, the Conservative party is in rebuild mode. However, having incumbents across Canada face challengers poses a threat to party unity. Coates said he intends to put party first and not attack Gallant for her gaffes over the years and lack of popularity inside the party and on parliament hill. “It’s all about democratic choice,” he said. “I respect the job Cheryl has done. I’m trying to make this about what I can bring to the riding after her 20 years. I’m trying to keep this positive and to put my best foot forward. And I’ll be the first in line to support her should she win; and hopefully she’ll be first to support me. We are all Conservatives at the end of the day.” Coates says His sense of fair play comes from a couple of places. He grew up just outside Halifax; the Maritimes has always been a Red Tory region, preferring centrist Progressive Conservative policies, not the decidedly right wing Reformist ideas from Alberta that dominated the early years of the Conservative party. He also has lengthy and successful experiences in business, which often demands working with a people of various beliefs to pragmatically achieve results. Conservatives across the country share at least one common goal: growing the economy and reducing unemployment. However, Coates dances the line

social conservative values. He said he strongly believes in family values, in the church, and in an approach to the economy that reduces the role of government and reduces taxes to business and people. There is little doubt that Coates has played a long and influential role in the conservative movement. He worked every national campaign from 1988 to 2008, serving as party secretary, treasurer; was an early supporter of Stephen Harper; and headed the debate team for Harper’s leadership campaign and subsequent election campaigns in 2004, 2006, and 2008. “I’m a longtime partisan. I was born in blue diapers,” he said. “I’m a big believer in bringing all parts of the party together.” It was more than halfway through the interview when the topic of Kevin O’Leary was brought up. Coates isn’t a name dropper, but was willing to talk about his chairing the celebrity entrepreneur’s campaign to lead the Conservative party. The race needed a businessperson of O’Leary’s statue (he was a television personality on Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank), Coates said. The fact that O’Leary isn’t a career politician was also a plus for him. In a National Post opinion piece he said a lot of issues and concerns were raised, making the process a success for conservatives. The former global vice chairman of Hill+Knowlton Strategies, a public relations and public affairs company, Coates has also led the company’s operations in Canada, the U.S., Latin America and Australia. Now retired, he has made Centennial Lake his primary home since 2014 after building the cottage 12 years

ago. “I just love the area and it’s because of roots. It’s just like the Maritimes,” he said. “I love hunting and fishing and golfing, but that’s not enough after I retired. I felt it was my time to get back into politics. So I’m in with both See COATES, page 5 feet.”

Coates’ connections paying off Continued from page 4

His extensive business contacts have paid off for at least one town in the riding. Coates is a member of the Eganville and Area Development Group. Reliability and speed are a problem with internet service, but not anymore. “I knew exactly who to speak to at Bell,” he said. “It’ll now be fixed before tourist season starts in June. And there’s a lot more that can be done. Economic development and job creation are the two areas I’m preoccupied with.” He vowed to champion the forestry and agriculture sectors. “Nobody seems to be talking about them and doing something to solve them,” he said. “I can’t solve every issue, but I know the people to speak to.”

Those sectors could be dramatically influenced by current negotiations that will update the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Coates is not impressed with how the Liberals’ approach. “They want to wait and see what (President Donald) Trump wants, not take action themselves, not set the agenda on their own.” Trudeau’s government is more talk than action, he said, pointing to the lack of movement on peacekeeping. It goes after small business, doctors, and medium sized businesses by calling them part of the problem. Coates said the “selfie prime minister” will lose to the “sincerity and authenticity” of Scheer in 2019. On Trudeau’s recent conflict of interest violations (he is the first prime minister found guilty of breaking an ethics’ law for vacationing on a lobbyist’s pri-

vate island), Coates said the “Laurentian elite” background plays a role. “His lack of life experience caught up with him,” he said. “Anybody in business, Mr. Harper never would have done that.” Scheer offers a different face and different style than Harper, but has the same views on the economy. The nanny state presumes to know better than individuals when it comes to their hard-earned money. As partisan as he can get, Coates often comes back to bringing all stakeholders together to produce results. His business background kicks in during almost every topic. “I’m a big believer in the big tent,” he said, “and in our democratic traditions. That’s why I expect both Cheryl and I will conduct ourselves with civility and play to our respective strengths.”

Recreation project to focus on females Arnprior rink to resurface for curling DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

A provincial grant would see more physical activities for Arnpriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s female population. The municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation department gained approval from council at the Jan. 8 meeting to apply for the almost $18,000 Females in Action grant. The town will contribute almost $4,000 to the two-year project that begins May 1. Females in Action is meant to offer low- to no-cost programs that improve the â&#x20AC;&#x153;physical literacyâ&#x20AC;? of participants, reads the staff report. That means they will learn new skills such as kayaking, paddle boarding, snowshoeing and orienteering, and participate in programs such as dance.

An unique aspect to the project is it â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoids transportation issues.â&#x20AC;? Cost and transportation are two main factors prohibiting females from participating in physical activity and socializing. Females in Action takes the programs to schools and seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; residences, along with utilizing the curling club. Mayor David Reid said he would support the grant application because he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to avoid funding sources.

bonspiel April 20-22 DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

The Arnprior Curling Club will celebrate its 150th birthday this year with an ambitious bonspiel. Held April 20-22 at Nick Smith Centre, the bonspiel would include up to 32 teams (split into recreational and cash spiel divisions) and daily entertainment at the community hall. The rink will be prepared a week in advance to allow teams practice time. Four or five surfaces will be included, recreation director Glenn Arthur said in a report proposing the event to council at the Dec. 11

He added that the recreation department and curling club have partnered to offer a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and bully-proofing programs. Arthur has determined the costs to taxpayers will be outweighed by revenue generated. The net profit is expected to be $6,600. Practice time ice rentals, plus profits from the bar and community hall will offset the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $7,990 contribution, he said. Council approved the idea.

OPINION

Connected to your community

A chance to speak up The Province of Ontario is providing a unique opportunity for the public to have a say when it comes to funding. Ontario is the first province to commit funding ideas from the public as part of its budget process. In 2017, people submitted 404 ideas, 923 comments and cast 19,229 votes as part of Ontario’s Budget Talks program, an innovative online consultation designed to develop policies that will be part of the province’s future. Visit Ontario.ca/Budgettalks to vote for your three favourite ideas before 5 p.m. Jan. 26. Selected ideas will be announced as part of the 2018 budget. Last year’s three top ideas - reducing and preventing food waste, improving digital services for libraries and accessing digitized health data - were included in the 2017 budget. More than 700 ideas were submitted this year in five focus areas, including: child care, seniors, small business, students and healthy living. Up to $5 million will be available to implement ideas. “Engaging people across the province

in the budget process is part of Ontario’s plan to create fairness and opportunity during this period of rapid economic change,” says a press release from the province. “The plan includes a higher minimum wage and better working conditions, free tuition for hundreds of thousands of students, easier access to affordable child care, and free prescription drugs for everyone under 25 through the biggest expansion of medicare in a generation.” Minister of Finance Charles Sousa urges citizens to participate. “Budget Talks is an excellent opportunity for the public to submit ideas that will help build a brighter future for people across Ontario. Public engagement is fundamental to the development of good public policy. We now need your help to decide which ideas will be funded as part of the 2018 budget.” This is a real chance for us to help shape programs and initiatives that will directly affect us and those around us. A familiar public refrain is that government doesn’t speak for the people. This is a chance to be heard, don’t miss it.

Why community newspapers matter, especially in small towns When I was just 11 years old I was featured on the front page of a community newspaper. I was a feisty, determined, pre-teen who was going to change the world and the paper was telling my story. It was 2004 and my favourite hockey player Glenn Anderson of the Toronto Maple Leafs was being denied his chance to play for Olympic glory. I started a petition and ended up delivering it to the commissioner of the National Hockey League in New York City. Every step of the way my local, community newspaper was by my side telling my story to my neighbours. This adventure started in my classroom and sparked my interest in journalism. People often ask me if I like my job. I tell them I love it. Yes, there are long hours, late nights and confusing budget reports to decipher. I like to write, not do math.

TIFFANY LEPACK Tiffany’s Take If I were not a newspaper reporter I would have been a history teacher. My job now combines both of my passions: storytelling and history. The role of a community newspaper reporter is significant for generations to come. “When you’re writing about a community, in a way you are writing the history of the community,” said former Stittsville News editor John Curry in an interview in the last issue of that paper on Jan. 11. “What is today’s news in the community, that

becomes tomorrow’s history. Your history is very important as a nation or as a community or even as a family.” Last weekend was my scheduled weekend to work, which is always a fun time as I get to experience a wide array of community events. On Saturday afternoon I hung out with the fun and friendly folks at the Renfrew Curling Club. I was stopped in my tracks as I looked down at their coffee table: an article I wrote last year was inlaid under a piece of glass. Over the summer, probably on another weekend I was working, while in Calabogie, they had posted on the wall a clipping of the Raise the Roof Outdoor Hockey Tournament, which last year raised $6,500 for the rink roof campaign. (This year it is set for Jan. 26 and 27, contact Dan Charbonneau for more information, 613295-2800). Every school I walk into has newspaper clippings displaying their students in the paper.

Last summer the Early ON (formerly Arnprior Early Years Centre) held a fundraiser. The kids ran at me for what I knew was going to be a front-page picture. I heard about and saw that photo in my community for weeks after. Kids (and adults too) love looking through newspapers and physically touching the pages on which their picture appears. During the recent Renfrew council meeting Mayor Don Eady acknowledged the local media in attendance and thanked us for the fair and balanced coverage from the last year. Every week our office receives calls asking when the paper will be delivered. These are just a few experiences and examples I see on a regular basis of the impact of our industry.

Unusual weather is good, bad for animals MICHAEL RUNTZ Nature’s Way

After a prolonged period of frigid weather, many of us welcomed the well-above-normal temperatures that reached double digits. Snow once so deep that snowshoes or skis were useful footgear shrank and turned to liquid. Roofs became visible and shovelling walkways became a distant (unfortunately short-lived) memory. One could almost hear the unspoken celebrations. But did our wild neighbours share in our exuberance? Did the temporary vanishing of snow and the break in freezing temperatures help or hurt them? With so many types of animals in our area, each with different needs and ways of surviving winter, the wild swing in environmental conditions brought a mixed bag of positives and negatives for them. Some animals undoubtedly benefited from the warmth. For winter-active birds and mammals, the warmer it is, the less energy they expend to stay warm. Deep snow hinders the movements of large mammals. Whitetailed deer have relatively short legs (a metre high at the shoulder) so less snow means less energy spent getting around. However, when a deep freeze follows a melt (as happened recently), the snow’s surface becomes icy and slippery, making walking difficult. If an animal breaks through the crust, injured legs can result. Small mammals roam through the subnivean space (the layer of loose crystals between the ground and the bottom of the snow), but when during a sudden melt especially if it rains, that subway vanishes so they must travel on the snow’s surface, making they easy prey for hawks, owls, foxes and other predators. But their demise makes predatory animals beneficiaries. But if the subnivean space remains intact and small mammals continue using it, after a flash freeze predators are unable to penetrate the icy surface of the snow and they can starve. Animals that spend winter in underground chambers can also be penalized. A combination of rapid snowmelt and heavy rains can flood dens, potentially drowning dormant snakes and chipmunks. The water might also affect black bears, which seldom spend winter in substantial dens. Many just roll up in hollows under fallen trees or upturned roots. Experiencing sub-zero temperatures after getting wet could well negatively affect these light sleepers. And animals that remain active all winter could suffer if their hair or feathers got wet and temperatures plunged. And then there are grey jays. These gentle birds of the north store food for the winter. That food — mainly mushrooms, insects, and fruit — is stored in late summer and autumn. It is perishable so it must remain frozen to still be edible in late winter and early

Dan Strickland, former Algonquin Park chief park naturalist and grey jay researcher extraordinaire, found a link between the decline of grey jays in western Algonquin and the decay of their food caches caused by mid-winter thaws. Wild swings in winter temperatures appear to be occurring more regularly, a consequence of

climate change. Thus, the future of grey jays in the southern part of their range is questionable. The next time we experience a thaw of the magnitude of this recent one, instead of celebrating perhaps we should be lighting candles. The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca.

Quilting was also a time for sharing and togetherness Quilting was for the middle of the week. It couldn’t interfere with Monday’s washing, Tuesday’s ironing, Friday’s baking and Saturday’s cleaning house, peddling wares in Renfrew and buying supplies. And so, those who could spare the time on an off day, would meet at a neighbour’s house, and the afternoon would be spent quilting. Since Aunt Bertha Thom, on the farm next to us, had a fair sized parlour, the quilting frame was usually set up there. There was a heater stove in their parlour too, not like our little room off the kitchen that was sealed up tight as a drum at the first sign of snow, and where you could see your breath on any given day after. It was a rare treat for me to be at Aunt Bertha’s when the women of the Northcote area gathered for an afternoon of quilting.

Aunt Bertha’s hand swept unbourhood women were already sitting in chairs around the quilt. It was rolled up in some sort of thick rod, which sat on the back of two kitchen chairs. And what had already been quilted was rolled inside. The rest of the quilt was on a like-roller across from the quilters, also on the backs of two kitchen chairs, and as they worked, the finished part would be rolled under, as the sewers worked their way to the other side. I thought it was a very clever way of doing things. That day, Velma and I took our dolls into the parlour, and we crawled under the span of the quilt, and settled down, with strict orders from Aunt Bertha to keep quiet. The talk around the quilt that day was about the happenings around Northcote. The fire that took a neighbour’s barn, and how the farms around dug in to help

Mary Cook’s Memories

der the quilt and Velma grabbed the few cookies being passed down to us. And then it was time to call it a day. Suppers had to be made, and chores to be tended to. The quilt was left up in Aunt Bertha’s parlour, but shoved closer to the wall. And there it would stay until another day when the women of Northcote could spare an afternoon. Going home across the field in the cutter I wondered about why it was called a quilting bee, and the purpose behind it. It was a chance for Mother to get to know the neighbours, and a time when they could share their cares. I wondered, but had no idea what happened to all the quilts they worked on during the long winter months. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

BIRTHDAY

PRAYERS A PRAYER FOR YOU I said a prayer for you today, and I know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart, Although He spoke no word. I didn’t ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn’t mind, I asked Him to send treasures, Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He’d be near you, At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you, In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care, I prayed the most of all.

Oh what fun, you’re turning one! We couldn’t imagine one year ago today, how much joy and love you would bring into our lives. Happy 1st Birthday Parker Love Always, Mom and Dad DEATH NOTICE

Roy McCormick January 21, 2008 10 years gone I am the wind in the trees that rustle the branches Listen!! I am the waves in the water Breaking on the shore Listen!! I am the swishing of the flowers In the gentle summer breezes Listen!! I am in the laughter of your children As they play in the park Listen!! I am in the beating of your hearts As you lay quietly thinking Listen!! I am in every busy moment of your day, In every silent moment of your night As you go on breathing, living, loving... Remembering... Listen!! I’m still there. Always loved, Rose and family

I remember the day I met you, and the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true. That I can go on living, When I no longer have you, And the memories of the happy years, When we were together, The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever, And when I’m sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, “Cheer up and carry on” Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, “Don’t cry I’m only sleeping, We’ll meet again someday.” Lovingly remembered, Raymond, Bonnie, Barry, Theo, Jenna and Delaney

Emmett Leclair 1931 - 2015 We who loved you sadly miss you, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near. We miss you Dad! Brenda, Bill and Family

DENTAL HEALTH T IPS From Arnp rio r Tooth

In this week’s column I would like to discuss tooth whitening; a procedure that has become very commonplace. This article describes various options as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Doctor

to your teeth for use with bleaching gel at home. This solution ensures total coverage and very even whitening. The disadvantages of home bleaching are the time commitment (the trays must be worn for rather long periods of time daily for up to two weeks) and a severe sensitivity to cold for some time post treatment.

In most social or business situations, first impressions are extremely important. A beautiful smile with straight, white teeth makes a great contribution to both your appearance and confidence.

An alternative to home bleaching is bleaching performed in a dental office. This generally requires only one or two office sessions and involves the application of a custom gel directly on the discoloured teeth. In addition, lasers or other bleaching lights may also be used. The use of laser for bleaching reduces the time required for treatment and greatly minimizes post treatment sensitivity.

The whiteness of your teeth can be improved in several ways. Most drug stores offer whitening strips or conventional bleaching gel and trays, which are the easiest ways to whiten your teeth. Unfortunately, because they are not specifically customized for your teeth they may cause uneven whitening with occasional discoloured spots. For improved results with whitening at home, a consultation with your dentist can identify the specific reasons for any discolouration of your teeth and can specify the most appropriate type of bleaching treatment for your needs.

Should you have any questions on this or any subject pertaining to dentistry please feel free to contact us; we are always pleased to assist you in your quest for better oral health. We also welcome suggestions for future articles. Arnprior Tooth Doctor, Dr. Shahriar Jalali, 613-600-4342 dr.jalali@arnpriortoothdoctor.ca

If the discolouration is normal (not related to a congenital disease or use of tetracycline or fluorosis) the simplest and most cost effective method is to have a custom tray precisely fitted

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
