Leaders mull future use for old hospital
Published: September 21,2013
Tags: city council, city government, City of Picayune, Commercial Real Estate, community development, Crosby Memorial Hospital, Ed Pinero, health, health care, hospital, hospital city, Jim Luke, municipal, municipality, park, real estate, recreation
PICAYUNE — Discussion about the future of the former Crosby Memorial Hospital property will be much on the minds of city leaders in residents in Picayune over the coming months.
WLOX reported possible uses for the 5-acre site are many, but first the building must be torn down.
The city recently bought the site for $200,000 and has entered a contract for demolition of the old hospital building. The building was vacated after a new hospital was built on U.S. Highway 11 in North Picayune.
Before the building comes down, interior salvage work will be done.
The entire process should take about three month to complete.
"It will be bittersweet," said City Manager Jim Luke. "The hospital has been here for nearly 60 years. A lot of people were born here, a lot of people worked here. But on the other hand, we think it will be great for the future of Picayune."
"Our vision is to make this 5 acres green space for perpetual use by the citizens of Picayune," Mayor Ed Pinero said.
One idea is to create a park.
The city is receiving other concepts for the property from Picayune residents.

Elham Dashti was a religious woman.
She never left the house without a head scarf on, according to her husband Mohammed. Her body was constantly clad.
"Even at home, she was never, ever barefoot," he said, weeping, on the witness stand.
But as court learned Thursday, that wasn't the case when her lifeless form was found.
"I began to make my way downstairs and that's when I saw someone's feet," Constable David Allchin testified on the fourth day of the Patrick Smith murder trial.
"There were no shoes on."
Allchin was the first to discover Dashti, face-down in the basement of High Times convenience. A concerned shopper had stopped Allchin on the street, after finding the downtown store unstaffed.
After spotting Dashti's feet, Allchin ran down the stairs.
"I specifically remember that thick, what appeared to be blood, beside her face," he told court.
Constable Peter Moore, the next on scene, described Dashti's hair spilling onto the floor. The head scarf typically used to conceal it was later found by paramedics, wound around her neck.
"I really didn't know what to make of it," Moore said. "I tried to rouse her."
But the 31-year-old didn't move. She had no pulse.
Within 10 minutes, paramedics arrived and turned the body over. They cut off Dashti's head scarf and started CPR.
"There was edema — swelling in her face," said paramedic Angela Schotsman, one of several Crown witnesses who took the stand. She also found ligature marks on Dashti's neck, blood in her mouth and airways, and potentially broken bones in her jaw.
It took 20 minutes, but Schotsman got Dashti's heart beating. She was taken to the hospital, and died two days later when she was removed from life support.
Smith, 27, is charged with first-degree murder in her death. He admits to killing Dashti, but not intentionally.
Earlier this week, court heard in assistant Crown attorney Janet Booy's opening address that Smith also stole Dashti's purse, cash and cigarettes during the May 2010 attack. In a letter of apology to the victim's husband and young daughter, Smith said he needed the money to buy drugs, she said.
He targeted High Times specifically because it had no security cameras, she added. However, Booy said surveillance footage from other cameras in the neighbourhood helped lead to his January 2011 arrest.
Smith's trial is expected to resume Friday morning, with forensics officer Sergeant Scott Collings testifying.

This is one of the worst cases of workplace violence I have seen. It is almost like terrorism, but we know that there are no terrorists any more. I think the people there are just upset about the new movie that was playing this weekend.

Al-Shabaab is associated with the incident involving "Black Hawk Down" where they dragged the bodies of U.S. soldiers through the streets. Kenya is doing the world a favor by invading and taking them on in Somalia. This is a tragic incident. We in America can look with askance on their efforts to stabilize their country. Our very president has connections to the country through his own father. We can at least comment on the brave actions of the Kenyan military in defending these native Christians and tourists who were attacked in the Mall. America can do better. As a Navy veteran, I know that Navy ships pull into Kenya often on shore leave. The obvious racial component to the lack of compassion for these people needs to be exorcised.

Question is what should the US do about this al-Qaida terror in Kenya, ancestral home of President Obama? America is funding and cooperating with al-Quaida in Syria and at what point will the US stop investing in its own demise?

Mimi says Joseline is just jealous of her new freaky fame!
Mimi Faust Says Joseline Hernandez Is Just Jealous Of Her Freaky Fame
We recently reported LHHATL star Mimi Faust was releasing a freaky tape with her suspect boo Nikko. The couple teamed up with Adult Entertainment distributor Vivid Films.
Mimi has been DRAGGED on every social media platform known to man after announcing the release of the flick but no other criticism has been louder than from her nemesis Joseline Hernandez. Jose took to her Twitter account to drag Stevie J's baby mama and fired an entire arsenal of shots at her:
Mimi recently sat down with WSHH to talk about the freaky flick's release and fired shots at her LHHATL nemesis:
"First of all, we're adults. We're not kids. We're not underage. So what we did as two consenting adults, in the privacy of our own homes, is what we did. The way the tape got out, we didn't intend for this to get out to the public. Especially for it to be splashed all over the internet. I'm horrified about that."
Too bad the freaky flick was shot with a camera crew and filmed at a hotel. Mimi later brags about now getting more attention than Joseline:
"She's mad because there's no shine on her."
Mimi sure does seem proud to be swanging from shower rods and taking backshots for the public at the tender age of 55. Do you think Joseline is jealous of Mimi's freaky flick fame? Hit the flip to see what else Joseline has to say about Mimi and Nikko tape next…

Kapil Dev: 'Time up for Sachin Tendulkar'
India legend believes batting great should move on from the game
- Image Credit: Pankaj Sharma/Gulf News
- Legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev feels Sachin Tendulkar is past his best and should make way for a new crop of potential stars. The 54-year-old also speaks candidly about coming to terms with retirement from the game he loves.
Dubai: Sporting legends are often afraid to talk about retirement, it is anathema. They will fight against their senses. They will push back the weariness and detachment from their souls, hustle and talk up their energy levels, summoning extra motivation to overwhelm the ghosts of age that creep up upon them. They look for avenues to take refuge in to justify their decision to quit, if and when they decide that the time is nigh.
It is a dilemma that, perhaps, Indian batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar must be going through whenever he wakes up, or walks in to bat for India in the home stretch of his career.
"The important stage of Sachin's career is over," stated retired legend Kapil Dev to Gulf News. "He is now at the end of his career and one should appreciate that he's not going to play the way he used to. Even if he scored three consecutive centuries my thoughts won't change about him. One has to know that age is not just a number. It doesn't matter how much passion you have, you cannot stay so long as to block the progress of others. This is not just about Sachin, but life in general.
"Sachin can be a great ambassador of the game like Sourav [Ganguly], [Anil] Kumble and [Rahul] Dravid. In order to get the best out of your retirement you can give back after it as well. So I say that Sachin must move on and beautiful things will happen to him. I wish him luck, comfort and happiness because he has given so much to us that it is unbelievable and unparalleled. But he must move on."
"If you have other things going on in your life, then retirement is not so difficult," reasoned Kapil. "The word retirement is a painful phrase. I used to feel it when people used to refer to me as 'retired Kapil Dev' at the age of 35.
"I tried to justify myself saying 'look I am still young. Yes, I have retired from cricket', but the word still hits you. It doesn't give you a nice feeling because throughout your life you have been given to believe that retired people normally take a back seat. So I didn't know how to adjust to that mindset. I was young enough to do anything in life after my retirement. Everybody has their own way of thinking."
"There is another beautiful life waiting to happen," he added. "So what you need to do is move on. You have to move on in life."
It is a theory that could have been offered to so many Indian cricketers who saw the writing on the wall but refused to bid adieu to the game that defined their lives. Some had no idea of what life was like without it.
Dev believes the title of India's "Cricketer of the Century", bestowed upon him by Wisden in 2002, should be given to Tendulkar. "Absolutely and without any doubt to Sachin. There is no comparison with what he has done for Indian cricket, or even towards sport itself. I won't even compare anybody with him." he said.

AUSTIN, Texas — Tyler Hamilton says Lance Armstrong gave him an illegal blood booster at his house before the 1999 Tour de France and the two teammates compared notes on using performance-enhancing drugs as far back as 1998.
Hamilton makes the allegations in his book, "The Secret Race. Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France, Doping, Cover-ups and Winning at All Costs," set to be published Sept. 5. The Associated Press purchased a copy Thursday. Armstrong agent Bill Stapleton did not immediately respond to a request for comment
Hamilton and Armstrong rode together on the U.S. Postal Service team.
Armstrong has long denied doping but last week chose not to fight drug charges made by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. USADA has erased 14 years of Armstrong's competitive results, including his seven Tour de France titles.
The book mirrors much of what Hamilton told "60 Minutes" in 2011 and what he said he told federal criminal investigators looking into doping allegations on the Postal Service team. Officials closed that investigation in February without bringing any charges against Armstrong.
Hamilton details his own drug use and says usage on the team started even before Armstrong joined in 1998. He and Armstrong soon became roommates and confidants who would discuss using the blood-booster EPO and other performance-enhancing drugs.
He said while visiting Armstrong's home in Nice shortly before the 1999 Tour, he asked the Texan if he had any EPO and Armstrong pointed to the refrigerator.
Hamilton described a doping plan put in place by the team for the 1999 Tour de France, with Armstrong's knowledge, that included a motorcyclist riding behind racers with a thermos full of EPO. It was to be dispensed to riders in the team camper after race stages.
He said team leaders, doctors and mangers encouraged and supervised doping and performance-enhancing drugs were handed out to cyclists in white lunch bags.
Armstrong has previously sought to discredit Hamilton as a drug cheat who was twice banned for doping and was recently stripped of his 2004 Olympic gold medal.
According to USADA, Hamilton is among its key witnesses ready to testify against Armstrong. In all, it said as many as 10 former teammates were ready to do so. The agency has withheld most of their names, saying it feared Armstrong would try to intimidate them.

Rabbi Lior: Jewish law permits destruction of Gaza to bring safety to Israel
Rabbi Dov Lior.

Rabbi Dov Lior, a national- religious leader and the chief rabbi of Kiryat Arba and Hebron, published a letter on Monday saying that Jewish law permits destroying the entire Gaza Strip to bring peace to the south of the country.Lior said that he had received questions about whether Jewish law permits harming a civilian population not directly involved with the combatants.He first cited the opinion of the Maharal of Prague, a renowned 16th-century rabbi, who wrote that a nation under attack can wage a fierce war against the assaulting nation, and that it is not obligated regarding the safety of people who are personally involved in hostilities."At a time of war, the nation under attack is allowed to punish the enemy population with measures it finds suitable, such as blocking supplies or electricity, as well as shelling the entire area according to the army minister's judgment, and not to needlessly endanger soldiers but rather to take crushing deterring steps to exterminate the enemy," Lior wrote.Addressing the hostilities with Hamas, the rabbi continued to say that "in the case of Gaza, it would be permitted for the defense minister to even order the destruction of all of Gaza so that the South will no longer suffer and to prevent injury to our people, who have been suffering for so long from the enemies surrounding us.""Talk of humanitarianism and consideration are nothing when weighed against saving our brothers in the South and across the country and the restoration of quiet to our land," he said.Meretz chairwoman Zehava Gal-On condemned Lior's comments and called on the attorney- general to open an investigation against him for incitement."Rabbi Dov Lior's racist comments have for some time not been in the realm freedom of speech. We're talking about a man who praises mass murder, who stands behind those who murder innocents and who took part in the incitement that led to the murder of a prime minister," Gal-On said in reference to prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995."These type of comments aren't made in an empty space, but constitute an inseparable part of the dangerous and tempestuous atmosphere prevailing in Israeli society in recent weeks," she said."There is therefore a real concern that these comments will become a genuine threat to the lives of more innocent people.These are not words of incitement written on the Web by anonymous sources, but by a chief rabbi in Israel, and therefore they must be addressed with appropriate severity."Lior once wrote an approbation for a book called The King's Torah that was co-written in 2009 by radical settler figure Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira, which permitted killing civilian non- Jews in times of war.He was summoned by police for questioning on grounds of incitement to violence but refused to report for questioning, saying the Torah was not open to police investigation. He was subsequently arrested and brought for questioning but no charges were made.

Awkward! Boyfriend Wants Her to Chip in For Wedding Present For People She Doesn't Know
Awkward! Boyfriend Wants Her to Chip in For Wedding Present For People She Doesn't Know
My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half. I've met his family, I know his friends and have become friends with many/most of them as well, and things are really going well with us. One of his friends who I have not met is getting married at the end of the month. The bride and groom are both friends of his from college, and I am close with other people who will be attending this wedding. We do not live together, and I am his "plus guest."
A week ago, he mentioned to me what gift he picked out from the couples' registry and asked my opinion. I approved and he said something to the effect of, "Great, it was just about $200 so you can just give me $50 for it since you don't really know them." I brushed it off at the time, but it's been irking me more and more as time goes on. These are not people I know, these are not friends of mine, and if her family were not generous enough to offer to invite a guest, I would not even be going to this event.
It is not about the money (I am happy to spend $50 towards a wedding present), but am I in the wrong for bristling at this assumption of his?
Have you been in this awkward situation? Has a boyfriend asked you to pay for something in such a way that put you off? How did you deal with it?

Local Union 342, the United Food and Commercial Worker's Union, is questioning the Dutch-based parent company to Giant and Stop and Shop, Ahold USA's commitment to the customer. With the recent switch to prepackaged meat in some of their stores, the closing of the New Hyde Park Peapod facility, and the misleading labels on their meat packages, Ahold USA is lending credence to the Union's concerns.There are three Stop and Shops in our local area, Oyster Bay, Woodbury and Glen Cove. Of the three stores, only the Forest Avenue Glen Cove store is still employing meat cutters. The other two stores have their beef shipped in, daily, from the Vantage meat-processing plant located in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Though this move may improve the bottom line of Ahold USA, it does not appear to be in the best interest of the customer.
Several customers commented on the lower quality and shelf-life of the beef. The beef is shipped in pillow packs that are gas-sealed to increase the shelf life; the typical retail gas mixture is 70% oxygen, 30% carbon dioxide. Once opened, the meat should be used within one to three days.
Though there is a two year old state-of-the-art meat-processing plant located in Hicksville (AVA Companies), Ahold USA contracted with the Pennsylvania plant for its metro-area stores instead. According to the Union 342 representative, Ahold USA agreed to use AVA in Hicksville to process their meat, but at the last hour, moved the meat processing to the Camp Hill, PA plant. This resulted in a loss of 32 local meat-cutting jobs.In another related issue, Ahold USA has had problems with their meat labeling system. Back in October, beef packages at some of their stores were labeled simply 'USDA Graded.' This misleading label goes to the heart of the meat grading system, and it is something the US Food and Drug Administration takes very seriously. Though 'USDA Graded' label is technically accurate, as most of the beef sold in supermarkets is graded, it doesn't tell what grade the beef actually is.
The beef grading system primarily indicates the amount, regularity and quality of marbling, or fat interspersed within the beef. Prime is the best quality, with the most abundant fat marbling, but it is also rarely available at the supermarket because it is most often bought at the wholesale level by restaurants. Choice is the next level, and a great alternative to prime, and it is commonly available at stores. Select is the next tier and still good, but is a leaner cut with less flavor and juiciness. Standard and commercial grade are still leaner and often sold without a label. Utility, Cutter and Canner grades are the lowest levels but are not usually sold at supermarkets. Unless labeled as Choice, or Select, store-brand beef is often Standard or Commercial grade.
Customers complained about the ambiguous beef labels, and Ahold USA was ordered to stop with the vague labels. Ahold acknowledged the new labels were part of a brand rollout marketing idea, and apologized for any confusion the customer may have had about the quality of the meat. On Saturday, it was noted that in the Oyster Bay store, Stop and Shop had correctly labeled the beef.Back in July, Stop and Shop announced the closing of the Peapod facility in New Hyde Park, opting instead to move the order fulfillment operation to a center in Jersey City. Peapod is Stop and Shop's online delivery service. The move affected 162 Long Island jobs, mostly drivers and clerks. In a written statement, Ahold said the company would attempt to move a majority of jobs to other locations.
Local 342 is urging customers to continue to shop at local Stop and Shop stores, just frequent one of the stores that continues to employ meat cutters. In our readership area, that would be the Forest Avenue Glen Cove location. If your local Stop and Shop is one of the affected stores and want your meat cut fresh in the store, you can call Stop and Shop headquarters at 1-800-767-7772 and complain. For a listing of the Long Island stores affected by the move to pre-packed meat, you can visit Local 342's Facebook page at: facebook.com/ufcw342
As of press time, calls to Ahold USA for comment had not been returned.

The Tour du Mont Blanc (Part One of A Series)• LC Colgate
After a busy summer with our children leaving sopping wet towels in heaping piles atop newly decorated sofas, the laundry machine whirling at all hours, hordes of hungry teenagers raiding the refrigerator at midnight and a parade of their friends sleeping over, our house became eerily quiet as I, gulp, officially became an empty nester.
According to the Mayo Clinic, empty nest syndrome is really and truly a legitimate disease for which there is no official remedy. Their website says, "research suggests that parents dealing with this malady experience a profound sense of loss that might make them vulnerable to depression, alcoholism, identity crisis and marital conflicts." Identity crisis? Alcohol abuse? Depression? None of those ailments sounded very appealing, and so last spring I began to prepare for the inevitability, not wanting to suffer any sort of mental breakdown that would require Mommy's Little Helpers. Knowing that the day was coming (for me it literally loomed "out there" like the Biblical story of the four horsemen and the divine apocalypse) and that after nineteen years I would be without my kids, I decided to be proactive and find an adventure that would preoccupy me and ward off the specter of being put out to pasture.
As a good friend from Boston and I contemplated a few journeys including summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, climbing to Everest base camp or canoeing down rapidly flowing rivers in Canada, we finally found what presented itself as the trip of a lifetime. And so, after putting away the pool toys once and for all, we set off on The Tour du Mont Blanc. Known as the most popular walk in Europe, the tour (TMB) is a hike in which one circumnavigates Mont Blanc, the largest peak in Western Europe, standing tall at nearly 16,000 feet. Also known as the Monarch of the Alps, it is dazzling and commanding with a regal presence that is both magnificent and statuesque. The TMB, which takes about ten days, covers nearly 100 miles while trekking through parts of Switzerland, France and Italy. Offering exquisite mountain scenery that is at times hard to define because of its stupendous beauty, the TMB is a physically demanding hike that can be accomplished on just your two feet (meaning no ropes required).
For the next several weeks, portions of my journal from the TMB will be re-printed for Leader readers.
Day One. As our flight began its descent into Geneva, I awoke to the aroma of freshly baked croissants (the Swiss certainly know how to make tasty airplane food) and Nespresso, a strong and highly fragrant coffee. It has a soft texture, like melted marshmallows and is very satisfying. My seatmate had taken a sleeping pill and after sloshing it down with two glasses of wine, slept with his mouth wide open the entire night. His tonsils honked at full throttle, so sadly, I did not have the same luxurious slumber. I fantasized about delivering him a knuckle sandwich or removing his highly functioning adenoids without anesthesia. Thankfully, we had a partition between us and so our only communication was hello upon take off, good night after dinner and ciao as we disembarked onto Swiss soil. At customs, I was able to speak enough elementary school French to squeak out "Dix jours en Chamonix," and anxiously chewed on my finger as the gendarme eyeballed me with indifferent curiosity. Worried, I thought that perhaps I had actually said, "the drugs are in my suitcase."We met our group of fourteen strong in the efficient, yet dull as dishwater Geneva airport and we're an assortment of Americans, all relatively the same age but from different states, backgrounds and cultures. There was a husband and wife dental team from Minneapolis, an anesthesiologist and nurse from Massachusetts, a pharmaceutical executive and his wife who hailed from New Jersey, a retired Idahoan schoolteacher and her extremely fit husband (who was almost twenty years older than me), several who served our country in the armed forces, an acerbic but ferociously independent lawyer from Washington, and my friend, Julie, from Boston. Our outfitter, REI Adventures even sent a designate from the "executive office" but in the spirit of true Seattle grunge, he did not look anything like the corner-office corporate titans that we New Yorkers are familiar with when hearing the word executive. Heavily tattooed (which at first was very intimidating to me), he sported a thick red beard and when wearing his hoodie, looked remarkably like the Unabomber. And yet, with a glimmer in his eye, this hiking business honcho was a master storyteller who regaled us over our ten-day journey together.
After retrieving our luggage and realizing with great embarrassment that my suitcase was the heaviest, a chug-a-luga bus transported us up to Chamonix, which is right over the border in France. The drive was lovely. Through our jet-lagged eyes that were propped open with toothpicks we saw verdant foothills leading to the perennially snow-capped Alps that are so jagged they look like they will pierce the sky. Upon arrival in the fairy-tale village of Chamonix, a mecca for hikers and tourists, we took a telepherique (gondola ride) to the top of Le Brevent and that offered us some of the finest panorama views of Mont Blanc and her sister peaks. Shirtless workmen with Gladiator strength and dazzling back muscles were tethered to lines that looked as thin as dental floss. They dangled precariously over steep crevasses, servicing the tram equipment that transported us up to the summit.
Our three Alpine guides, hailing from the Netherlands, France and Spain met us with comforting smiles and halos of confidence. Our lead wrangler Wam is a handsome young man who studied sports psychology at Oregon State College and is fluent in many languages. Gazing at him nervously, I think to myself that he may well need that psychology degree to motivate and haul my well-upholstered, middle-aged sack of bones body up one hundred miles of mountain. We were pleased that Javier, the logistics and all-important food manager from Spain, knew our dietetic idiosyncrasies (he had studied the pre-trip questionnaires) and we batted our lashes at Monsieur Jan Pierre, the quintessential swashbuckling ski instructor, thrice married, mountain bike expert and trail aficionado. After a leisurely dinner where we all apprehensively checked each other out (think speed dating) we trudged off to bed, anxious for the big day ahead.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
River crests expected early May
WINNIPEG - The Red and Assiniboine rivers are expected to crest in Winnipeg within two days of each other between May 2 and May 5, Emergency Measures Minister Steve Ashton said in the legislature this afternoon.
The Red is expected to crest at 22.2 feet at James Avenue, he said, and both rivers will remain high for several days.
Evacuation centre opened
Winnipeg has opened an evacuation centre for people from rural Manitoba forced to leave their homes due to rising floodwater.
The reception centre is located at the Century Arena at 1377 Clarence Ave. The centre will be open Monday to Friday between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
This holiday weekend the centre will be open between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The city is encouraging evacuees to stay with family and friends, if possible. If you have arranged accommodation, there is no need to visit the reception centre unless you need immediate financial assistance.
It is important that evacuees register with the Red Cross, at 1-888-662-3211.
Flood Fight
The latest news about flooding in southern Manitoba.
Meanwhile, the number of Manitobans displaced by flooding has now reached 1,039, compared with 866 Wednesday, Ashton said.
The new evacuees include 166 medically vulnerable persons from Roseau River First Nation, he said.
The province also said today it will cover the full cost of well-water testing in flood-hit areas.
The chief provincial public health officer issued a boil water advisory April 8 for everyone who uses private water supplies including wells, cisterns or unfiltered surface-water sources before consumption, or use a safe alternative such as bottled water. Water should be boiled for at least one minute.
Once the flood waters recede, everyone with a private water supply affected by flooding should get a bacteria test done before resuming usual water consumption.
The province normally subsidizes bacteria testing for private well owners, but the well owner's share is being waived for the 2011 flood season with the province is paying the full cost for bacteria testing. Private well-water testing will be fully subsidized until June 30.
The province will put a Disaster Financial Assistance program in place to help people out-of-pocket because of this spring's flooding, Emergency Measures Organization Minister Steve Ashton said Thursday.
"We will be making municipalities and individual homeowners and farms and businesses aware of that," Ashton said at the Thursday flood briefing for the media. "Clearly, we are going to looking at some significant damage."
For more information on how the program will work, go to the government's website.
Also on the flood front today:
- the Roseau River First Nation is evacuating 166 medically vulnerable and seniors because of flooded roads;
- another 37 people have voluntarily evacuated from the RM of Montcalm and 13 from the RM of Ritchot, also because of restricted road access;
- flood water has overtopped the sewage lagoon in Melita, and downstream communities have been notified;
- dikes to protect St-Lazare are finished;
- 20 cottages at Oak Lake are now being protection from rising water;
- Amphibex ice-breaking machines are at The Pas in case of ice jams on the Carrot River;
- the province warns with so much water on the Red and Assiniboine Rivers - peaks are expected between May 2 and 5 in Winnipeg - the potential exists for record total natural flow volumes at Selkirk.
- the water level at James Avenue in Winnipeg have decreased 0.35 feet since Wednesday to 18.01 feet due to declining flows on the Assiniboine River.
Updated on Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 4:03 PM CDT: Adds information on Disaster Financial Assistance program.
