6 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville, February 16, 1983 Section Two CFTO's Weather Expert Explains F orecasting To Rotary Club Members By Brenda Larson The unusual winter weather in the Great Lakes region this year cannot be adequately explained explained for at least 30 years. That's what Dave Duvall, CFTO-TV's weatherman, told the Rotary Club at its luncheon meeting last Thursday. Thursday. Dave said that in order to find out how different this year's weather has been and what kind of trends may be developing, the statistical in- Dave Duvall, CFTO-TV's weatherman, chatted with students from Bowmanville High School after his speech at the Rotary luncheon last Wednesday. The geography students, accompanied by teacher Bruce Ball, questioned Dave about his career. CFTO-TV was missing a weatherman last Wednesday around lunch. Dave Duvall, the ambidextrous forecaster, spoke to Bowmanville Rotary about broadcasting and meteorology. President Paul Morris posed with Dave after his speech. formation would have to be compared to other years, past and future."And you know you can do just about anything with figures," he said. But Dave, with the ease of the expert, explained the reasons for the weather, "Out in the Pacific Ocean, there is submarine volcanic activity. It's heating up a section section of the water ana the winds over that water are causing a deflection in the jet stream.All that has taken the storm centres through the Southern United States and the Mid- SUMMER CANADA83 AN INVESTMENT IN YOUTH This summer, thousands of jobs will be created for students. The federal government's SUM- -MER CANADA program will provide funding to non-profit organizations and municipalities to help them employ students, and give them career-related experience. ♦ Students who can't find summer jobs don't develop the kind of work experience that helps them bridge the gap between school and work. It might even mean a student's education comes to a sudden stop. SUMMER CANADA is designed to change that -- by helping employers help students. ♦ If you are a student interested in real work experience, you should register at your local Canada Employment Ce.ntre. If you are a member of a non-profit organization that would like funding to hire students, read on. west, and around Southern Ontario," he said. It is also very difficult to forecast in the Great Lakes region, he says, because it's a matter of guessing how much moisture is in the air when parts of the lakes freeze. "You know, I've seen storms split over the Niagara Escarpment, travel in two directing and rejoin around Port Hopë.Ÿou're sitting right in the middle of a pocket," he said. Meteorology has always held a fascination for Dave. "Weather is one of the first things on people's lips every day. And no one day is the same as the next' ', he said. He spends two hours before each CFTO newscast going over statistical and meteorological meteorological information, "then I reduce it to terms the general public will understand. The guy sitting in his comfy chair in front of the .tube just asks, 'Is it gonna rain, sucker?." Dave is allotted only one and a half minutes on World Beat News at 6 pm. He says that amount of time does not allow him to give a complete weather weather forecast. "That one and a half minute forecast is cheating you.I feel you have a right to know the reasons for the weather .If they don't give me enough time to tell you everything, you're not getting what you deserve," he said. Dave has been with CFTO since the station formed in 1961 .He also spent three years in the Canadian Air Force and meteorology was a part of his training. "I also learned how to write backwards in the Air Force, on a plexiglass board. Then when I was hired at CFTO, one of the floor managers suggested suggested I try writing with both hands. Now I have trouble writing frontwards," he said. His decision to go into broadcasting took place in high school."I was looking for a career where I wouldn't have to use math," he joked."I entered public speaking contests contests ana I did really well. I also studied Radio and Television Television Arts at Ryerson and I was offered a job before I graduated!' Besides bringing weather forecasts to CFTO's audience, Dave represents several major firms as the advertising spokesman. He also spends time speaking to student groups and service clubs. "The great thing about this business is the people. People we have never even met before before speak to us .They feel they know us.We're a part of their families. When that happens, we feel we have accomplished something," he said.
