Search For Missing Teen Continues

The search for a missing Fort Frances teen continues.

14-year-old Maddi Bruyere left home Wednesday night to attend the teen dance at the Memorial Sports Centre and had spoken with her caregivers late that night, but never returned home.

OPP Constable Anne McCoy says they're hoping someone has information about her whereabouts.

Bruyere is described as being 5'7", thin build with long dark hair kept in a pony tail

She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a dark grey shirt.

Health Card Suspensions Isolated Cases

Health Ministry officials say reports of cancelled O-HIP cards are isolated incidents.

There are still more than 3.5 million Ontario residents with the old red-and-white health cards that have no expiry date and no picture.

Health Minister Deb Matthews says there have been no changes to the program to move people over to the new cards, and wants people to know they can still use their old health cards.

Large College Classes Expected

Classrooms at Confederation College's Rainy River campus could be close to capacity this fall.

Nearly one-hundred first year students have already registered for classes.

Campus manager Anne Renaud expects those numbers to increase with applications for programs still being accepted.

Renaud admits there will be some challenges in trying to fit everyone one in, but says it's a good problem to have.

Hayes Wins Quest Again

Her performance of Heart's hit song "Alone" has earned Brittnay Hayes her second Quest for the Best title.

Hayes, who won in 2009, was voted the best vocal performance following the final sing-off last night with Larissa Desrosiers.

Hayes lost the sing-off last year, but took home $15-hundred in the Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce sponsored event..

Area Residents "Be A Donor"

There continues to be strong interest in the Rainy River district from residents to register their consent for organ and tissue donation.

Figures release show 39 per cent of Fort Frances residents and 25 per cent of those living elsewhere in the district have already signed on with a provincial registry.

That's higher than the provincial average of 22 per cent.

Rainer Roost Celebrates 25 Years

Anniversary celebrations for an assisted living facility in Rainer.

Decker's Family Care established Rainer Roost 25 year ago as a 7 bed unit, expanding later to 23.

John Decker says they've been able to fill a real need.

A open house will be held tomorrow at 1 p.m. with the facility making a special dedication in honour of a former resident.

Warm Weather To Continue

More warm and dry weather is on the way for the Rainy River district.

Environment Canada's Chantal Cerny says the higher than normal temperatures already experienced this summer will likely continue in the fall.

The average temperature for June was 1.4 C above the norm while the thermometer this month has reached over 30 C four times, compared with the average of two.


Rainfall amounts for June was the lowest it's been in eight years while another monthly record low could be achieved in July.

Health Care To Many Could End

Millions of Ontarians could find themselves without health insurance coverage if they ignore government notices to get a new health card.

There are still more than 3-and-a-half million residents with the old red-and-white cards, including a CTV reporter who was told her OHIP card had been cancelled and she'd have to pay $60 to see a doctor.

The old cards don't have expiry dates, but government officials say people were sent three notices to get the newer one.

If the card holder doesn't respond, and the health card hasn't been used in seven years, the government will suspend it.
