Autumnal equinox with shorter days and cooler nights But pack away all your summer clothes yet The march of the which brings so much diversity to our temper ate climate has followed a differ rat beat this past year and may hold a few more surprises the weeks and months ahead A lot depends on El Nino a warm ocean current which periodically overrides the cold humboldt cur rent off the west coast of South America with Environ ment Canada are quick to point out that Ontario weather is largely the result of random combinations of various climatic factors and prediction Is really just a matter of probabilities guessing the odds But the umsually mild winter cool wet spring and hot dry summer which have Just experienced was part of a world wide pattern of dramatic and devastating climate disturbance And it apparently centered on the largest known occurrence of El Nino el yo 000 000 square kilometers of According to Amir of Environment Canada the carl test known link in the casual chain of this phenomenon is a reversal in direction of the powerful Pacific trade winds from west east the result of changes in at mospheric pressure This allows large masses of warm water normally blown up against Australia and other western Pacific shores to rush across the ocean to the coast South America where they override the nutrientrich Humboldt current cutting off the food source for many species of fish One con sequence was that the entire population on Christmas Island abandoned their nestlongs and disappeared in the past year There are weather effects as well South America endured heavy rainfall from the heal and moisture evaporated into the atmosphere Elsewhere in the Pacific droughts replaced The resulting toll in Ihe human life property loss and agricultural failure is staggering Roughly 220 deaths and a billion agricultural loss were attributed to it in the United States alone Here at home drought has severely cut crop yeidls and reportedly contributed to the serious pollution of Toronto beaches Looking ahead difficult Mr i believes this occurrence of El Nino is drawing to a close But above normal temperatures arc still being reported off South Americ and as mistaken fore casts last year revealed lists have not yet developed a reliable system for predicting EI Nino behaviour They Ye sure to keep trying since the little one may offer answers to climate patterns the world over In the meantime the September November Ontario forecast shows a 5560 warmer than normal temperatures Qimm Griffin Sprowl Funeral service was held September for Griffin Sprowl

for stationary school buses Such a the penalties for not stopping which could include six dement points fines of up to and even imprisonment But the most important reason of all is simply this Your mistake could cost a child life And that kind of mistake is never forgotten So remember dnvers going in both directions must sto for a school bus flashing its red lights And dnvers approaching from behind must slop at least metres about A car lengths behind the bus And this year there s something new to watch for Every school bus in Ontano is now equipped with a STOP SIGN ARM that is auto raised when children are getting on or off a school bus So keep an eye out thus fall for flashing lights and stop signs on school buses Please don take a chance with the life CAN YOU AFFORD TO FORGET
