Page 6 Nipigon-Red Rock Gazette Tuesday, February 19th, 2008 BEWARE OF DANGEROUS ICE CONDITIONS Over the next few weeks Lac Seul outflow at the Ear Falls Generating Station 'will be reduced to accommodate construction work. During this time the water level below the Ear Falls Generating Station, the upper English River, Pakwash Lake and Camping Lake will change. As a result, ice conditions may change rapidly along sections of the waterway with the drop and rise in water levels, creating hazardous ice conditions and ice flows. While extreme care must be taken on any frozen lake or river, the areas near hydroelectric stations and dams are especially dangerous. Moving water can lead to thin, unstable ice conditions near the intakes and outflows. And please remember, throughout the year, the areas around hydroelectric dams and stations are not places for recreation.

Horses Feeling much Better-No Thanks to the Birds Andrew and Megan Chambers were thrilled when they visited the friendly horses and treated them with carrots, pastries and a few ear scratches and pats. Lad obviously likes his master! Photo submitted by Ed Chambers Terry and Marlene Schaaf of Dorion love horses. Not long ago they noticed that three of their horses were not feeling well. They told the veterinarian that they had not changed anything in terms of looking after their “pets”. However, they mentioned that dozens of birds (very likely House sparrows) had taken up residence in their barn this winter for the first time. The vet explained that these birds had spread salmonella through their droppings. Terry is now covering any openings with screening to keep the birds out. After taking some medication, the horses are now feeling great and as the photos illustrate, they are once again enjoying visits with children. As we left the farm, the horses were frolicking in the field - ten- der loving care has obviously paid off. Submitted: Ed Chambers Do you have your Subscription to the Nipigon-Red Rock G?

Continued from Page 2 fact, $10,000 invested in the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index in 1957 would have been worth more than $1.2 million by the end of 2007. Year after year, things happen in the world and people think of reasons they should stay out of the market. But equity markets outperform virtually all other investment opportunities on a longterm basis. During periods of market fluctuations, many people are hesitant to invest, saying they are waiting for “better times.” The problem with this approach is that better times usually become visible only after markets have already risen. Investors who have been sitting on the sidelines have missed a valuable opportunity to participate. “A far more effective approach than trying to time the market is to establish a proper asset allocation that will put you in the best position to achieve your long-term goals, and then invest on a regular basis. This will help you to establish discipline, take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise and keep your plan on track â€" no matter what the markets are doing,” said Michael.
