An April snow storm on the weekend of the 23, followed by constant rainfall, has caused the Ausable River to swell. Alec Scott, with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority says up until that point, the water level had been below normal. Scott says there's nothing to be concerned about. However, he cautions parents and guardians to keep children and pets away from the river to avoid any mishaps. (photo/Stephanie Mandziuk) Veal There were 118 head of veal on offer.
