OTTAWA RIVER FLOOD

Doug Antler has run the Kingfisher Lodge, a fishing/hunting outfitter and campground, at Deux Rivières for 34 years, during which he’s seen the river go up and down like a yo-yo and even helped monitor water levels. He believes the downstream floods this year were partially man-made because “two-and-a-half feet” of water was drawn down on his stretch — and sent downstream — on April 27.

“They didn’t have to dump that water.”
