Congratulations to Patrick McPhie and Joyce Gilks on the arrival of their first child on Jan. 24. They welcomed a . . .
baby girl named Priyanka Jennifer Leigh. She is a grandchild for Cheryl Dolan and a great-grandchild for Alice Dolan of Quyon. Best wishes to the whole family.
Our deepest sympathy is with the family of Bunny Foran, as she passed away on Jan. 22. Bunny was a wonderful, sweet woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Thoughts are with her loved ones at this sad time.
The Pontiac Provincial Tournament has been held over the past two weekends at the arena in Shawville drawing teams and fans from all over to the area. Kudos to the organizers and volunteers who contribute to hosting this tournament. Congratulations also to the Pontiac teams who competed, especially the Peewee A and Midget A Lions that won the championship in their respective divisions. Way to go.
Wishing a very happy birthday to my aunt, Mona MacKechnie, as she celebrates her 85th on Feb. 1. Birthday wishes are also going out to Bob Brouse on Feb. 2. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
