Moose FM CFBG 99.5 - Muskoka

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.

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.

There will be some Muskoka flavour at this year’s NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships in Milton, Georgia. The pinnacle of college golf will see two former South Muskoka Curling and Golf Club junior members battle it out, as coaches. Brennan Webb of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and John Handrigan of the University of Florida Gators are assistant coaches at the number 6 and number 9 ranked schools and will lead their teams in to next week’s tournament.

Two local minor ball associations are merging. The Boards of Directors for the Muskoka Hornets and Huntsville Minor Baseball voted unanimously this weekend to merge. HMBA President Kristy Clarke says by merging, the organization can gain access to Hornets infrastructure including coaching programs and expertise, player development, access to equipment, and overall baseball knowledge. The Hornets Board will now add a HMBA member.

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.
