Temperatures increase dangers of water
EXETER - Present forecasts are
calling for +5 degrees C for the
weekend and a chance of showers
on Monday. With these mild tem-
peratures, snow melt will cause in-
creased flows in streams and rivers,
particularly by Monday.
With ice thickness being ex-
tremely variable on rivers and
smaller streams being either filled
with ice. snow and water or having
snow covered banks, children
should be advised to stay away
from watercourses. The temptation
to stray too closely to watercourses
may be particularly great when
children are on the March break
holidays.
Remember, we often get into
trouble in places we are most famil-
iar. Keep on guard and if you hap-
pen to fall into the chilly waters:
call for help, try to grab onto a tree

stomach, anything that will stop
you from travelling down the river
with the current. Always play with
friends and if someone does fall
into the frigid waters, have some-
one run for help - don't try to res-
cue the person by yourself. Re-
member this season of winter cold -
it would not take long for you to
lose your strength and you would
get hypothermia.
Blyth Festival Singers
to perform Easter concert
EXETER - The Blyth Festival
Singers will be presenting a con-
cert of seasonal music for Holy
Week and Easter at the Exeter
United Church on April 8, 1995.
Exeter United Church is
pleased to present this special
concert. It is one of three perfor-
mances that the Blyth Festival
Singers will be presenting in Hu-
ron County during the Easter sea-
son.
The Exeter concert will be
highlighted by the performance
of 'The Crucifixion' by John
Stainer. Subtitled "A Meditation
on the Sacred Passion of the
Holy Redeemer," this passion
story is told by the choir and ten-
or soloist John De Jagar of Gode-
rich.
The program will also include
a selection of other traditional
and contemporary compositions,
from 'Behold the Lamb of God'
from Handel's 'Messiah," to 'A
Fourth African Trilogy'. The
stately tempo of the Handel piece
provides an interesting contrast
to the rhythms of 'A South Afri-
can Trilogy,' which includes
three pieces from a collection
"Songs of Protest and "Praise
from South Africa." The music
speaks of the political climate of
ouch Africa, but carries the uni-
ersal statement, "We are march-
ing in the light of God."
Blyth Festival music director
Wade Whittaker of Seaforth, has
selected an eclectic variety of
music to complement 'The Cru-
cifixion' for this concert. The
various pieces of music aim to
inspire reflection, celebration and
praise, as well as comment on the
struggle for peace and freedom
throughout the world.
For ticket information call 235-
0860.
