16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, November 7, 1989 Picture framer wins professional honour Don't burn those leaves! By-law re-enforced Tyler Renaud, a local picture framer, has recently earned a professional honor. Renaud, a local high school student, has joined the group of just over 100 other Certified Picture Framersin Canada. es \ LIE An employee of the Framer's Gallery, in Port Perry, Renaud received the designation, after sucessfully completing the cer- tification examination, devel- oped by Educational Testing Services of Princeton, New Jer- sey, for the professional fram- ing organization. What this title does, is it per- mits Renaud to use the letters CPF behind his name in this business. To pass the test, one must correctly answer 104 of 1560 questions. "It was extremely hard, I really didn't think I would getit," Renaud said. This testing system was brought in about three years ago. "I think it was broughtin to regulate the framing indus- try," said Warren Strong, own- er of the Framer's Gallery. Renaud agrees, as he feels it lets people now the importance of the industry. "If someone has an old piece of art they want protected, they know that with these letters(CPF) behind someone's name, that person knows the right way to do it," said Strong. Renaud joins just over 1000 other Certified Picture Fram- ers in North America, and 1C0 in Canada. After completing school, Re- naud hopes to get into this busi- ness. "It's nice to have passed it(the test), it is a bonus in this industry. It also gains one re- spect," Renaud added. Renaud's employers Warren and Tracey Strong are indeed proud of his accomplishments. 'Not many kids get out of school with letters behind name," Tracey said. Tom Pavlock, the CPF, PPFA president stated in a press re- lease that "all who passed the test have demonstrated a high level of knowledge and compe- tence in the profession of pic- ture framing. We are proud of their achievement, and pleased tobe associated with them." Renaud specializes in limited edition print framing and the stretching and framing of nee- dlework. He was one of 19 suc- cessful candidates among the 34 who took the 3-1/2 hour ex- amination, administered by the PPFA in Toronto, on August 27. The 150 question test re- flects the knowledge and skills required of a professional pic- ture framer. their * * * %* %* 399 Queen St. 8, Sionemogy &, ' Car, Gente * x kk % + Pportp ob ort Perry, Ont.

The by-law became effective immediately after Monday's council meeting. Regional Councillor Yvonne Christie was opposed to the passing of the by-law. The by-law states that no person withing the Hamlets of Port Perry and Prince Albert shall set out or light any open fire or bonfire for the burning of grass, brush, leaves, rubbish, or for any other purpose. There are a few exceptions to the by-law, as three camping grounds will be allowed to con- tinue campfires. Others such as "bona-fide producers of farm products", will be allowed to burn according to regulations set aside inthe by-law. Any other use of fire, is sub- ject tothe Fire Chief's approval. Any breach of this by-law may resultin a fine of $50 to $1000. Although council stated that there is only a small minority burning leaves, it still is a con- siderable problem, especially in the urban areas of Port Perry, and Prince Albert. The burning of leaves has been an intolerable problem, even though the council feels they had great support from the 95% of the community that used the bags that were made available tothem. The by-law does permit the use of domestic barbeques or permanent outdoor fireplaces that are used solely for the cooking of food or decorative use provided that it is not used for the purpose of burning or in- cinerating any kind of waste product.
