A SIGN OF THE TIMES The message at a Highway 11 home south of Earlton is straight-forward – “Stay home. Save our families. Protect our friends.” “I thought it was important that people know this,” said Annie Rivard, at far left. Rivard is a nurse at Temiskaming Hospital and her daughter Natasha is also more vulnerable to illness because of health issues. Rivard said she’s taking the public health messages “very seriously.” The kids – from left, Natasha, 12, Mikael, 10, and Jacob, 14 – were also looking for projects during the extended March break, she said.
