The Pontiac has experienced heavy snow accumulation this past week. For those who can recall the winter of 1970/71, we did in fact witness several heavy snow falls. The resulting accumulations had residents shoveling off the roof of single story homes, and walking down off the roof directly on to the snow bank. While it seemed remarkable at the time, I am hopeful that we will not have a repeat of that much snow this year. More snow means more snow removal.

Congratulations is extended to Sarah Graveline and Ryan Smiley on the birth of their beautiful son Henry. His is a little playmate for big sister Madelyn.

Waltham was saddened to hear of the passing of Elaine Cole of Dawson Creek, BC. Elaine was born and raised in Waltham. Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with her sister Glenda, siblings, family and friends at this difficult time.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Peggy Wila Olivine Nadeau of L’Isle-Aux- Allumettes. Our heartfelt sympathy thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this difficult time.

Warm birthday wishes are extended to Stephanie Pilon-Ryan, who is celebrating her birthday on Dec. 16. Enjoy your special day Steph.
