SAVE UPTO The wet and icy conditions also make stream banks extremely slip- pery and hazardous. School children are advised at this time. of year to avoid streams and rivers to prevent slipping and being swept away by the fast flowing waters. The Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority monitors stream and river conditions throughout the entire year but with particular diligence during the period of "spring break-up' since dangerous creek conditions and localized flooding problems are a near cer- tainty. The Authority maintains a warning system to notify local municipalities, mill and dam operators, police and emergency departments, school boards and the media, whenever flooding or hazar- dous creek conditions can be expected. Residents of the Brooklin, Ashburn and Myrtle areas with con- cerns about high stream levels and hazardous creek conditions should contact C. Conti at Central Lake On- tario Conservation Authority 579-0411. Viewpoint From page 16 "out of the game." And don't think that isn't done.
