About 4,100 people were evacuated as Rosenort St Agathe and St Adolphe faced rising waters, with Premier Roblin crediting unusual precipitation since March 4.

Hatch appeal denied in fraud case from Lethbridge
The Alberta appellate division upheld a five year term for Stuart W. Hatch after fraudulently converting more than 15 000. The sentence was the longest of six concurrent penalties dating to November 1965 for the former supervisor of the Lethbridge Central Feeders Association. Hatch, 48, had repaid the funds, according to his lawyer Max Moshovich. Justice Porter noted that calculated theft must be pardoned.
