has been a passion for Emily all of
her life. This year she entered the
University of the Arts’ (formerly

annual Show Off competition. This
competition offers grade 10, 11
and 12 students the opportunity to
showcase their artwork. If a stu-
dent’s work is chosen by the jury
panel, their artwork is included in
the annual Show Off! exhibition at
AUArts. This year the exhibition
was from March 11th to March
23rd. Emily submitted three pieces
and not only was one of her piec-
es was selected by the panel, but
Emily was awarded second in the
whole competition. She received an
award of $1000.00 for herself and
a matching award to OJSH Art de-
partment. Art teacher Mrs. Walker
is planning to use the funds to pur-
chase a slab roller for clay.
Emily’s prize winning piece is
called Chordae Tendineae (Latin
for heart strings). Her artwork was

plans on a career as a medical illus-

Did You Know?
• The Onoway Legion
is the only active service club in
Onoway! Along with assisting vet-
erans and their families, the legion
also serves the wider community.
A staunch supporter of the Lac Ste
Anne Cadet Corps and the #On-
oway Scouts group, the Legion
donates money and rental space to
several other youth organizations,
seniors’ projects, and community
groups and projects like the Lac Ste.
Anne Food Bank.
• When you buy Neva-
da or raffle tickets at the Legion,
you’re supporting your community.
The Legion donates a portion of
gaming proceeds to the community.
This year, eight different communi-
ty groups - both adults and kids –
received money this year.
• Thursday, June 6 is the
75th Anniversary of D-Day! On that
day, around 156,000 troops fought
to gain a foothold in Normandy, be-
ginning the push that eventually de-
feated the Nazis almost a year later.
• Only 25% of money
raised through raffles and Nevada
tickets is kept by the Legion. Half
the proceeds are paid out in prize
money, and the remaining 25% is
donated regularly to local commu-
nity groups.April 9, 2019 Community Voice Page 17

that each year more than 47,000

are caused by electrical failure or

Overloaded electrical circuits
are a frequent culprit in residen-
tial fires. Fortunately, overloaded
circuits are preventable. Accord-
ing to the Electrical Safety Foun-
dation International, the follow-
ing are some potential indicators
that circuits are overloaded.
• Flickering, blinking or
dimming lights
• Frequently tripped cir-
cuit breakers or blown fuses
• Warm or discolored
wall plates
• Cracking, sizzling or
buzzing from receptacles
• Burning odor coming
from receptacles or wall switches
• Mild shock or tingle
from appliances, receptacles or
switches.
• Learning to recognize
the signs of overloaded circuits
is an important step in making
homes safe, as the NFPA notes
that home fires contribute to hun-
dreds of deaths and more than
1,500 injuries each year. Such
fires also hit homeowners in their
pocketbooks, causing an estimat-
ed $1.4 billion in property dam-

• Prevention is another
key component when safeguard-
ing a home and its residents from
fires sparked by electrical fail-

vent electrical overloads.

Check that all basement flood drains are not blocked or covered. For extra precaution, you can install a water alarm to let you know if water is accumulating. 7.
