‘They made everyone feel so special with their love'
LAC DU BONNET — Mourners wiped away tears and shared a fond memories as they paid tribute to Susan and Richard Nowell, the couple who died May 13 as a wildfire ripped through homes on Wendigo Road in this tight-knit community. There almost weren't enough seats in the town's community centre Friday as nearly 700 friends, family, and community members gathered to remember the Nowells at a 90-minute celebration of life. The stage was filled with brightly coloured flowers and a collage of photographs. Emmett Nowell, the couple's youngest son, looked at the large crowd and took a deep breath, to steady himself before speaking. A service Friday celebrated the lives of Lac du Bonnet residents Richard and Susan Nowell. 'They made everyone feel so special with their love,' said Emmett, who was the first family member to speak. 'I could really stand up here and talk about them forever.' 'My parents have taught me everything I know, from riding a bike, to fishing, to learning how to treat others. They showed me to never worry about anything and have supported me through everything I've wanted to do. I know they will always be watching over us.' Sue, 61, worked at Mrs. Lucci's Resource Centre, a local non-profit that operates a café and thrift store. She had supported the town's free food program, Lunch is on Us. Rich, 59, was employed by Manitoba Hydro for more than 36 years. The operating and electrical technician worked out of the Great Falls generating station 24 kilometres north of Lac du Bonnet They met more than 30 years ago in Island Lake in northern Manitoba, where they quickly fell in love, said Rich's sister Candace Skromeda. They moved to Lac du Bonnet, where they had two sons, Ryland and Emmett. Ava Skromeda said she was the daughter her aunt and uncle never had. They possessed a special kind of love that filled the room. 'Our family is always loud, always laughing, and they always seemed to be in the middle of that,' said Ava. She said Sue was the queen of one-liners, a talented baker, and she had the most contagious laugh. Ava said Sue's baking was so good she was meant to be in charge of the wedding cake on the day she got married. She said Sue had already started planning the colours, flavours, and layers of the cake. Her relationship with Rich was completely different. 'He called me the most annoying person he's ever met,' she said with a chuckle. 'He was always fixing something, pranking someone, or starting food fights.' Ava said she remembers Rich starting a food fight at Easter involving pies. 'His smirk meant he had either done something dumb or was about to,' she said. She said her aunt and uncle are gone too soon and she'll never understand why. 'I promise to carry your spirits with me, to love fiercely, laugh loudly, and never stop being myself,' she said. Ryland choked up while speaking about his parents. 'They were two of the most selfless, compassionate people I have ever met,' he said. Ryland said his parents showed their love in different ways. He said his mother would always greet everyone with a smile, hug or a joke. 'It didn't matter who you were, she always listened. If you were talking to her, you didn't just have her attention — you had her concern, sympathies, and help,' Ryland said. Ryland remembered when he called his mother asking for help because he had invited his girlfriend over for a homemade dinner, but didn't know how to cook. 'I didn't have a lot of time, I didn't have many ingredients, but I still wanted to make something good,' he said. Wednesdays A weekly dispatch from the head of the Free Press newsroom. She spent time looking over recipes that he could cook. Eventually she recommended a chicken parmesan dish. He said the date went perfectly, thanks to his mom. Ryland said his dad showed love through his actions and always wanted to help people. He recalled that last winter he'd had an argument with his dad and drove into a ditch with his truck minutes later. 'I had to swallow my pride and ask him for help right after we got into a disagreement, and he was out in the garage less than five minutes later,' Ryland said. 'That's the kind of person he was. No matter what, he was always there to help.'

Raccoons invaded her walls amid a neighbour's reno weeks ago. Now this Toronto woman says she's fed up
For the past few weeks, Ariel Lukaniuk says she and her partner have been sleeping in their second bedroom. That's because her row house in Toronto's east end is connected to a building going under renovations two doors down, where raccoons have infiltrated the walls and made their way over to her bedroom wall. She says a family of them has been living there ever since, scratching and screaming through the night. On top of that, her dog is frightened by the noise and barks at the walls through the wee hours. "It sounds like a horror movie," Lukaniuk said. "It's psychotic, the sounds all night, and I can't sleep." Lukaniuk says she's been trying to get the city and the neighbouring building owner to remove the animals for weeks, but they haven't shown any urgency. WATCH | Raccoons making racket in Toronto woman's walls: Video shows raccoons in Toronto woman's bedroom wall 16 hours ago Duration 0:26 Ariel Lukaniuk says she and her partner haven't been able to sleep for weeks since a reno project down the road, connected to the row housing in which she lives, allowed raccoons to infest her bedroom wall. The city and building owner say they're working to remove the animals, but Lukaniuk says they're not moving quickly enough. She says she contacted the city through 311 about three weeks ago, asking them to remove the animals and ensure her neighbours — a housing non-profit — cut off access to the walls at the renovation site. Despite assurances that the problem is being addressed and multiple emails, she says the raccoons are still there. And she's fed up. "Every time you think they're helping, it's just like, snail pace," she said. "I'm just really tired." Lukaniuk says she first contacted the city about the problem on May 13 and was told staff would look into it. After emailing back and forth over the next 10 days, she says her caseworker told her the city still hadn't contacted the building owner. So Lukaniuk says she called them herself to ask what they could do. Building owners trying to trap raccoons The building under renovation, located on Main Street near Gerrard Street E., is owned by Community Circle LandTrust (CCLT), a non-profit housing provider. CCLT took over the building from Toronto Community Housing Corporation in 2022 to turn it into affordable housing. During renovations this spring, the back wall on the ground level was completely removed for several days, allowing raccoons access to the inner walls of the row housing, Lukaniuk says. CCLT CEO Alia Abaya says both the city and Lukaniuk contacted the non-profit on May 23. On May 24, the back wall was sealed and a pest control company was contracted to install a trap on the property, which was done on May 26. On May 27, Abaya says the trap was still empty and CCLT had a roofer check for other entry points. The roofer installed a one-way door at a possible entry to keep the raccoons from coming back. Two days later, the trap hadn't caught any raccoons and it was removed, she says. CCLT then issued a work order on June 2 to set a new trap and install one-way doors in between the attics of the properties, which Abaya expected to be completed that day. "While we can appreciate that it's challenging for our neighbours that we have not had success in catching the raccoons yet, we are working diligently to address the situation," Abaya said in an email. 'It's super frustrating and super exhausting' Lukaniuk says nothing's changed and the noise is beginning to impact her work as well as her sleep. She's worried the one-way door installed by the roofer has trapped the raccoons in the walls, saying she hasn't seen them leave since it was put in and the scratching and screaming has intensified. She's worried the raccoons could die in her walls, or chew a wire and start a fire. But the city won't adequately respond to her concerns, she says, or allow her to hire her own pest control since the problem originates on another private property. "They just keep saying the same thing: the situation is being addressed by [Circle Community LandTrust]. It's not being addressed," she said. "They're just like a robot.

Street sweeping, parking ban ends Friday evening
Trucks are seen in an Edmonton neighbourhood cleaning the streets. (Supplied) The City of Edmonton says spring street sweeping and the residential parking ban will come to an end Friday at 5 p.m. Crews cleaned more than 6,200 kilometres of roadways, bike lanes and major pathways since starting the sweep on April 14. 'Due to an increase in the number of snow events and freeze/thaw cycles in the region during the winter season, 230 per cent more traction material was applied to roadways and active pathways,' said the city in a Thursday statement. 'This resulted in a larger amount of debris on the roadways, requiring more passes and slower speeds during spring street sweeping.' Crews will continue to respond to notifications in areas requiring further sweeping. Residents are encouraged to call 311 to report areas with heightened levels of debris. Regular weekly sweeps will be conducted in business improvement areas and other high-speed roadways throughout the season.
