DREDGE LOCAL POND? — The Ausable Conservation Authority have pledged, technical
assistance to Exeter to determine the best way to dredge the big pond at the dam. Members
of the Authority viewed the dam and park on their tour of the watershed on Saturday (see

The kids still have fun though as demonstrated by Calvin McKerral on stilts, Paul Wilson
on the raft and Bob Skinner patiently waiting his turn. —Staff Photo
