Renews residents will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the church's construction this summer. The church is next to the Mass rock where in the early 1700s Roman Catholics in the area gathered to hold mass in secret because it was illegal to do publicly. A grotto, built in the late 1920s, is also nearby.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Conference call system overloaded - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Some residents in Bay Bulls last week were so eager to learn who their new mayor and deputy mayor would be that they overloaded the Town’s conference call system. The system allows up to 25 people to call into the public meeting and listen in at home. A number of people dialing in last Wednesday night were met with a busy signal as the conference call had reached its limit. For those who missed the action, Ethan Williams, who earned more votes than any other candidate this election, was nominated by former mayor Keith O’Driscoll for the position of Mayor. Williams, however, declined, citing his young age and status as a full-time student. O’Driscoll, in turn, was nominated for the position by Jason O’Brien and Williams. O’Driscoll accepted the role, and will once again serve as mayor. Next, both Williams and O’Brien accepted nominations for the role of deputy mayor, and the matter was put to a secret ballot vote. Williams claimed that victory, and will serve as deputy mayor. Pictured, from left, are newcomer Johnathan O’Dea, Jason O’Brien, Mayor Keith O’Driscoll, and Deputy Mayor Ethan Williams. Missing from the photo is councillor Corey Ronayne. In neighbouring Witless Bay, former Deputy Mayor Jacob Hayden was acclaimed as Mayor and councillor Justina Nawaz was acclaimed as deputy mayor.

      <image:title>Stories - Nathan Gosse Memorial Award - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Goulds resident is this year’s recipient of the Nathan Gosse Memorial Award for significant contributions to the field of environmental health. Deborah Smith was presented with the award at a meeting of the Newfoundland and Labrador Branch of the Canadian Institute of Public Health Inspectors (CIPH). Smith is Manager of Laboratory Services at the City of St. John’s Regional Water Supply. She started her career in the mid 1970s as a Medical Laboratory Technologist at Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook. Since 1982, the Witless Bay native has been employed with the City of St. John’s Regional Water System where she was the lone technologist for over 20 years. Smith’s duties include managing the laboratories at the Bay Bulls Big Pond Water Treatment Plant, Windsor Lake Water Treatment Plant, Petty Harbour Lond Pond Water Treatment Plant and the Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility. Smith and her staff also look after 70 water sampling stations throughout the regional water supply system, analyzing water and wastewater samples from source to tap to harbour. The award is named for the late Director of Environmental Health for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, who hailed from Harbour Grace. Presenting her with the award were CIPH past president Tammy McDonald, left, and fellow institute member Douglas Howse.</image:caption>

Power played 15 games with the Breakers this season and posted a 2.62 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.

      <image:title>Stories - Saints Peter and Paul Parish donation to community food pantry - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Members of Saints Peter and Paul Parish made the first ever donation to the Bay Bulls community food pantry. Donations were collected by parishioners over a number of weeks and dropped off at the pantry, located just outside the Town Hall, by youth from the church’s Living Faith Program last month. Resident Margaret Dinn is credited with bringing the idea of a community pantry to town staff for consideration, and last November council purchased $1,000 worth of materials and partnered with the Carpentry Program at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary to bring the idea to life. Pictured, from left are Parker Clowe, Joel Windsor, Patsy O’Brien, Nathan Windsor, and Jack Clowe. Town of Bay Bulls photo</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - 24th annual Art Hicks Memorial Basketball Tournament - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Stella Maris Academy hosted the 24th annual Art Hicks Memorial Basketball Tournament this past week. Between team registrations, door prizes, and 50/50 ticket sales, organizers raised just over $2,000 for the school’s sport program. The family of the late Art Hicks made a financial donation and also donated a number of team hats, while members of the Trepassey 50 plus club volunteered to cover the door all weekend. Five teams participated and Sable Contracting nabbed tournament gold. Plans for the 25th annual tournament are already underway. From left to right are Kyle Collins, Trevor Ivany, Brant Williams, CJ Clowe, Conor McCarthy, Nathan Mulcahy, and Noah Power. It was the first time in some years that the tournament was held. Hicks was a respected businessman in Trepassey who operated a hardware supply business and was a big supporter of the community’s sports teams.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Dunne Memorial Academy Runners - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>A number of runners from Dunne Memorial Academy in St. Mary’s participated in the Newfoundland and Labrador Athletic Association’s (NLAA) X-Country Series, held over three weekends in Bowering Park each Fall. Some days are beautiful for running, and others are not, but the weather doesn’t deter the runners from Dunne Memorial. In left photo, going from left to right, Dalton Corcoran, Noah Van De Bulk, Kellan Tobin (who placed first in two out of his three races and second in his third), Connor Corcoran, Katie Toope, Skye Corcoran and coach Karen Hearn. Meanwhile, Heather Squires, Kain Tobin, and Noah Van De Bulk represented the school at the School Sports Newfoundland and Labrador (SSNL) Cross Country Running regional tournament held in Carbonear earlier this month. In right photo are coach Karen Hearn, Heather Squires (who placed 14th in the senior girls race with a personal best time), Kain Tobin (who placed second in the senior boys race), and Noah Van De Bulk (who placed third in the junior boys race).

      <image:title>Stories - Crushing it again - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Members of the Southern Shore Crush U17 girls’ softball team were named provincial champions after a competitive weekend of softball in Outer Cove. The girls finished third in the round robin tournament and went up against Conception Bay Centre in the semi-finals. The Crush prevailed after a close game that went an extra inning and then met the undefeated Outer Cove in the finals, whom they bested 10-0. Pitcher Kate Dalton was named the team’s Player of the Game.

      <image:title>Stories - Jayden Turner receives Don Johnson Hockey League award - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mobile Central High student Jayden Turner received the Don Johnson Hockey League award for Most Dedicated Teammate earlier this month. Turner plays in net for the U15 AA Privateers, and has been playing hockey since he was five. Turner said being named most dedicated player was a great feeling. “I was happy just making the AA, and getting on the Privateers, the team I wanted to get on, with the coach I wanted,” said Turner. “Coach Pat Yetman guided us this whole year, through every moment. It was a very memorable and enjoyable season. Lots of new friends were made. It was a great year.” Turner said becoming most dedicated means wanting to win and hyping up his fellow teammates every game. Crystal Turner photo</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Bill Guiney had a bit of company as he completed his 331 km loop around the Irish Loop in aid of mental health causes last Saturday. By the time he managed the final trek up Signal Hill, Guiney had logged some 500,000 steps on his counter. “We will be continuing to look for donations and stories for the upcoming book titled PUSH which we hope to have on the shelves by spring 2024,” said the mental health advocate from Renews. On hand with Guiney for the final steps were supporters, from left: Emma Lake, Ferryland MHA Loyola O’Driscoll, Kim Kelly, Pauline Lake, Guiney’s wife Susan Guiney, and Darla Chidley of Ferryland. Guiney plans to self-publish the collection of some of the stories that people have shared with him during his many fundraising walks, push-up feats and other adventures in aid of mental health promotion.

      <image:title>Stories - The Irish Loop Quilt Guild - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Irish Loop Quilt Guild is celebrating a year of accomplishment. The group has participated in several 12-hour day retreats at Saltwater Country, done a local shop hop, made donations of denim pillows for the homeless to The Gathering Place in St. John’s, and have made a baby quilt to donate to One Plane Away – a charity that accepts baby care packages in Nunavut. Guild member Pennie Hancock said groups like the Quilt Guild add to the community. “It’s especially important now after the challenges of COVID, both socially and economically,” she said. The guild allows adults to gather together in a small, safe, group setting and enjoy the company of others. Joining a guild also provides the opportunity to share skills and techniques. “Donations of quilted items help fill a need in our community and lets those in need know that others are available to help,” said Hancock. “Working on projects to donate to the community also gives a sense of accomplishment and purpose to the guild.” In the upcoming year, the group has chosen to make and donate a quilt to the Quilts of Valor project for Canadian Forces veterans. “In addition, it’s been proven that a vehicle full of quilters going on a shop hop adds much needed funds into our economy with their planned purchases of fabric, gas and a meal stop along the way,” said Hancock. The guild meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at Saltwater Country, in Bay Bulls. Pictured, from left to right, are members Pennie Hancock, Colleen Power, Justine Finlay, Deborah Maddox and Joanne Moss.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Mock disaster shows students consequences of impaired and reckless driving - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>With assistance from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, members of the Goulds fire department, Barrett’s Funeral Home, the RNC, St. John Ambulance, and Eastern Health, St. Kevin’s High School last week hosted a mock disaster to show students the consequences of impaired and reckless driving. The school typically hosts a mock disaster every three to four years. “The whole idea is to educate students and raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence, whether of alcohol or drugs, and especially of distracted driving,” said St. Kevin’s teacher Nicole Clarke. “It shows them what could be the worst-case scenario.” Roughly 10 students participated in the demonstration, and those students began meeting with Gerry Antle of the Goulds Fire Department back in late April to begin planning the event.

      <image:title>Stories - Afternoon Tea with the Presentation Sisters - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nineteen years after the Presentation Sisters sold their convent and left Witless Bay, 13 of them, five of whom were former residents, returned for afternoon tea. The reunion, organized by the Heritage Committee of Witless Bay, had been planned for last November but was postponed due to a case of COVID, and a hoped-for visit on Valentine’s Day was delayed due to a winter storm. Finally, it proceeded on a sunny Saturday, May 13. On arrival, the sisters were greeted by members of the Heritage Committee. Also attending were several local residents, some of whom were taught by the sisters, who graciously volunteered to help with Heritage Committee events.  After being encouraged to leave the kitchen where all migrated upon entering the house, they were escorted to the second storey chapel where Heritage Committee Co-Chair Maureen Walsh and member Colleen Hanrahan described the committee’s activities since its formation in 2004, and the role the former convent played. The youngest member of the Committee, Chelsea Green, delivered a solo rendition of Patsy Cline’s Walking After Midnight to an appreciative audience including her grandparents, parents and brother. Following this, all were invited to the dining room for tea, sandwiches, and sweets. The afternoon ended with a singalong accompanied with live accordion music. “In all, it was a wonderful afternoon in a historic setting which the Irish Presentation Sisters first occupied in 1860,” said Walsh. Above, starting at the top of the stairs and going from left to right are: Sr. Doris Walsh, Sr. Sheila Leonard, Sr. Margaret Mary Gosse, Sr. Marie Furey, Sr. Francis Pennell, Sr. Mary Molloy, Sr. Helen Martinez, Sr. Mary Rossiter, Sr. Betty Quinlan, Sr. Marilyn Doyle, Sr. Mary Dower, Sr. Roisin Gannon, and Sr. Clo Martin. Missing from the photo is Sr. Martina O'Reilly, who is also a former student.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Members of the Gould’s Lions Club recently presented a monetary donation to Lisa Courtney for Nevaeh’s Pantry, located at 78 Keith Drive. Like other free little pantries, folks can donate or pick up food according to their need. The pantry is named for Nevaeh Denine, who raised thousands of dollars for cancer research through her lemonade stand before passing in 2018 at nine years old.</image:caption>
