FREDERICTON Flood forecasters in New Brunswick are keeping a close eye on the Saint John River but say the forecast for the Easter long weekend looks favourable. Geoffrey Downey, a spokesman for the province s River Watch program, says a massive ice jam at Perth-Andover, near the border with Maine, remains in place but is starting to erode. There was a big channel running through it yesterday, which is good, so it s not holding back any water, Downey said Thursday. He said, however, that there have been reports of people on the ice jam taking photos. We can t stress enough how dangerous that is, and (it) becomes dangerous for anyone who might have to go to rescue them, Downey said.
