6-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, November 29, 1989 Newtonville Alive "Sootbuster", Mark MacPher- son, recommends a "Chimney Cap." Well informed in his trade, chimney sweep Mark MacPherson, cares enough to take the time to explain, explain, procedures and benefits of safe wood burning... Whether a person is an "old hat" at burning wood or settling into a new home,'with their first .fireplace or wood appliance, chances are there is something to be learned. , "I can't stress enough,'.' says Mark MacPherson, "the critical importance of keeping the chimney clean of creosote. Buildup of creosote is the primary cause of chimney fires, which in turn, have been known to lead to serious damage to the home." With the new efficient wood burning burning systems on the market today, alot less wood is used. However, because of sometimes lower burning burning temperatures, creosote builds • up much faster. Creosote must be removed to prevent the threat of chimney fires, or potential personal harm. There is no chimney cleaning timetable as such, but chimneys should be cleaned as often as they need it. One cleaning in the year should be a careful, complete one, -covering the stovepipe connection • and the inside of appliance as well. "Facts to Burn By" ' » - Rugs, furniture, newspapers, woodpiles, matches, should be kept a safe distance from the appliance. - Coals buried in ashes can stay very hot for days. Ashes must be emptied emptied into a non-combustible, preferably metal container. - When ingredients of wood smoke condense and stick to a surface such as a flue, it is- called credsote. Little Scoops... - Sadly 84 year old Annie Cathcart passed away suddenly November 22, 1989. I never met Annie, Author of the Orono Times Kendal News. From Annie's thoughts and messages, in her weekly articles though it is our loss of a warm caring caring person and heavens gain for sure. - The staff at the Newcastle Village Bank of Commerce wish to thank all United Way supporters who con-, tinued to give to the United-.Way drive unselfishly over the past few New Dialysis Unit at Oshawa receives funds Creosote is combustible. Deposits can build up to the point where the flue is severely restricted, limiting heat output - can result in noxious fumes, sparks can ignite creosote. - Avoid burning pieces of cardboard, cardboard, newspaper, Christmas tree branches or wrapping paper that can be drawn up into the chimney smoke chamber and possibly ignite. - There's no mistake about a chimney fire - they roar; the stovepipe connector will shake or vibrate. -- Get out, call the fire department! - Screened in chimney caps are highly recommended. Their benefits include: keeping out birds and small animals, leaves, and minimizing moisture accumulation, that can eventually rust any metal parts of the unit. Prices range from, $40 - $50 depending on size. - Smoke detectors work. They are now and important part of the Building Code. *lt is recommended that a smoke detector be installed at each level of the home; i.e. base- ihent, first, second stores. More than one detector will act as a backup as well, should one fail to operate. Fire is serious business. Proper maintenance of your woodburning stove or fireplace is just as serious. There, is feothing quite like a warm fire on a cold winter's night. Knowing the fire you are burning is safe from the first kindling spark to the puffs of smoke high above the roof, gives added warmth to the soul.

The division of nephrology at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto will assist staff at Oshawa General Hospital to put the new service into operation in about nine months. The six stations for Oshawa are part of the $23 million, 75-station program to expand treatment facilities for kidney diseases announced announced by the minister in June. Treatment of kidney disease is one of several specialty care arèas identified by the ministry, on which it is concentrating its resources. Under the expansion program, the ministry recognized the priority of need for dialysis service east of Metro Toronto.
