A new Miss Teen Ontario East has been crowned for the tenth time. Sophia DeCarle had the coveted tiara placed REGION onREGION her head on Sunday, April 17 at the Renfrew Recreation Centre at the end of the pageant. The Grade 11 student at Madawaska Valley District High School was sponsored by Miss Madawaska Valley. After the announcement was made, DeCarle .COM said she couldn’t believe it. “All I could think about was the amazing journey I had ahead of me,” said DeCarle. “I cannot wait to start getting out in the community and doing my duties. I am excited.” She was almost at a loss for words. “I am ecstatic, I don’t even know what to think right now,” said DeCarle. “I had no clue. I was having such a great time. It was amazing and I am shocked.” The 17 contestants had a full night with a number of musical performances, an evening gown show, impromptu questions session and the awards presentation. “The night was amazing it was so busy I had so much fun, you are rushing around getting dressed. The production was great,” said DeCarle. “It was so successful and I could not have asked for a better night.” DeCarle said she feels she has grown a lot over the weekend and is ready for what the year brings.

Jason Pepin would have been happy with a free coffee. So when he rolled up the rim on his medium triple-triple Tim Hortons coffee cup last month and discovered he’d won the contest’s grand prize, he was a little shocked. “I haven’t even won a free lottery ticket. It took about four days to finally click in I actually won a new car,” he said. “Now it’s getting more and more exciting every day that passes. I wasn’t even expecting it one bit.” The 23-year-old Campbell’s Bay, QC man was at the Stewart Street Tim Hortons in Renfrew on Friday, April 15 to pick up his shiny, new 2016 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T. Pepin was joined by his two children, three-year-old Zoey and sixweek-old Mason, along with their mom Jackie Merchand. Also on hand for the presentation was family friend Charles Stephens, who actually purchased the coffee for Jason before the buddies returned to Pepin’s home in Campbell’s Bay, where he rolled up the rim and discovered the prize. Merchand said at first she didn’t believe Pepin had actually won the car. See QUEBEC, page 3
