Lake Ontario Levels Fall as Great Lakes Run Low
Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes show their lowest levels since 1947 with Ontario 7 inches below average, Erie 3 inches, Superior 6 inches, and Michigan and Huron 8 inches short. Experts expect a 1 1/2 foot drop more by November before a mild rise, due to 20 percent below normal precipitation in 1998. Dozens of boats have grounded on sandbars as marinas struggle with shallow slips and repairs rise in demand. A sailboat named Blown Away grounded on a 4 foot sandbar, forcing aid from a jet skier to free it.

Red Cross and Central Kentucky Blood Center officials report tattoos and piercings sharply reduce available blood supplies, with many first time donors unaware of the rule.
