Beaver Scouts, Scouts, Cub Scouts and Leaders Help to Plant Trees in Annie Williams Park (Photo Submitted)

Ten new trees are blowing in the breeze at Annie Williams Park. Last week members of the 1st and 3rd Bracebridge Beaver Scouts, Scouts, Cub Scouts and Leaders helped plant 10 new trees at the park as a part of a 10-year tradition of upkeep to the park. Former Scout Leader Tony Armstrong donated the trees.

There are pockets of power outages in and around Muskoka this morning. Most Hydro One customers affected are in the Lake of Bays/ Bigwin Island area with over 300 homes without power. Hydro One says a tree fell on the main line, but they should have power up and running again by 10:30am. Other areas include Lake Muskoka, where power there is expected back up by 4:00pm.

A Burlington family is still looking for their missing cats after a crash on Highway 11. On Friday, a man was driving a pickup and towing a trailer northbound when he veered trying to avoid getting hit by a car merging into his lane. The pickup rolled onto its roof near Shoreview Drive. Two cats were in the pickup but ran away after the crash.

His wife, Michelle Riviere, contacted this station and says her husband went back to the scene after being released from hospital later that day, but had no luck finding their cats. They've been looking all weekend and still no luck. She is asking residents in the Highway 11/Shoreview and Washago areas to look in your garages, sheds and under decks, as they tend to hide when scared.

If you have any information, call the Orillia SPCA, OPP or Michelle. The contact information is on the above photo.

A Seguin man is charged with assault with a weapon and uttering threats. West Parry Sound OPP got a 911 call from a woman last Wednesday afternoon saying that her neighbour came at her, yelling threats and swinging an axe. When police arrived, the neighbour was in his garage and officers say he was very drunk with an axe leaning up against a wall. The 65-year-old man was arrested and charged.

The possibility of a sunset cruise in Rosseau will be discussed at Seguin Township council today. Council will discuss the possibility of having sunset cruises from the Rosseau waterfront during the Rosseau Farmer's Market every Friday. Also on tonight's agenda is the salary rate comparisons for the OPP in 2014.
