Vol. 50 No. 7 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2012 64 pages $1.00 (plus tax) Second dog won his fight By John Bkila OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF A second small dog in as many days fell prey to a coyote attack last week in northwest Oakville. A 16-pound schnoodle (half schnauzer, half poodle) was attacked at around 10 a.m. last Wednesday while on a walk with its owner north of Upper Middle Road, near Grand Oak Trail. The dog survived -- a much better fate than what befell a five-pound maltipoo (half-Maltese, half-poodle) that was snatched and killed near Heritage Way Park and Saddler Circle a week ago Tuesday morning. Last Wednesday morning, Oakville resident Kim Ramsahoye and her schnoodle, Chachi, were out for a walk with a neighbour and her puppy. Both dogs were leashed. See Owner page 5 Trust fund set up for three boys The family of the late Katherine Newman of Oakville has established a trust fund for the slain mother's three sons. Newman, 43, was found stabbed to death inside her Treetop Terrace home around noon Thursday, minutes after her estranged husband, Kyle Newman, also 43, was fatally shot during an altercation in the parking lot of the Halton Katherine Newman police Oakville division station. While police have yet to formally connect the two deaths, investigators have said they are not seeking any other suspects in the woman's death.

Oakville resident Sylvie Blais was walking her five-year-old, four-pound Yorkshire terrier, Angel, along a ravine in West Oak See Dog page 7 By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Community rallies for sons eric riehl / oakville beaver home safe: Northwest Oakville resident Kim Ramashoye is glad her family dog, Chachi, who was attacked by a coyote last Wednesday, is home safe and sound. Chachi is a little worse for wear, having sustained some injuries, but managed to escape and run home after being attacked while on a walk with Ramashoye. For safety tips on living with, and encountering, coyotes, see page 5. There may have been some visible tension between them at times, but to many, Katherine and Kyle Newman were just two Oakville parents taking their children to hockey practice. It is now clear there was so much more hidden beneath the surface. See Boys page 4 5,300 sq. ft. of Play Space!
