CJCS 1240 Radio - Local and Community Events in Stratford Ontario

Repairs to the Wildwood Dam are set to begin next week.

Water levels at Wildwood Reservoir are at their lowest in 25 years to allow for extensive work on Wildwood Dam.

Hydrologists with the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) began lowering the reservoir in August of this year.

The reservoir is now low enough to permit repairs on the dam to go ahead.

The project costs $135,000 and is funded 50% by watershed municipalities with the remaining share coming from the Province of Ontario through the Ministry of Natural Resources Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure program.

The Cullitons will need all the rest they can get tonight.

They play three games in three days starting tomorrow.

Stratford hosts Listowel for Friday night hockey at the William Allman Arena.

The puck drops at 7:30pm.

The Cullitons travel to Kitchener Saturday afternoon then Elmira Sunday night.

1240 CJCS will broadcast all the games live this weekend.

Elsewhere tomorrow night,

The St. Marys Lincolns host Leamington at 7:30pm.

Lambeth Lancers: 0  

Strickland's Toyota Atom C: 6

Game Notes:

Emma Ivey recorded her second shutout of the season as the Strickland's Toyota Atom C Aces extended their unbeaten streak to five games.  Amelie Saunders set up Faith Binns who picked the top corner and put the Aces ahead late in the first period.  Binns added three other goals and Jessie Hahn scored on a nice pass from Chloe Bannon early in the second period to extend the Aces lead. Saunders scored on a unassisted play to finish the scoring and helped out at both ends of the ice to help preserve the shutout and get the 6-0 win.

The Avon-Maitland School Board says its anti-bullying policies are working.

The board has seen a decrease in the amount of bullying incidents over the last few years.

The measures in place include a 24 hour a day help line that students are made well aware of, and the board surveys students to keep track of where, when and how often bullying occurs.

All schools in the board also produce a mandatory action plan to help deal with the problem.
