By Jennifer Bowman

The body of a missing kayaker was found in Brighton Bay Saturday morning. The OPP Underwater Search and Recovery team found Justin Callahan's body after he disappeared while he was kayaking with two friends just after midnight Friday. The three were kayaking near Gosport when he fell into the water and didn't resurface. A post-mortem is scheduled for the 29-year-old today. Death is believed to be by drowning.

The body of a Dresden man who died while trying to save a child struggling in the waters of Lake St. Clair has been found. The man was one of three adults in a small boat with five children Saturday. Some of the children went swimming off the boat. One child began to struggle, so the man jumped in. Police say he was not wearing a life jacket and disappeared under the waves after he jumped in. Everyone else, including the child the man was trying to assist, returned to shore safely. Police divers found the body Sunday afternoon.

The boil water advisory for the west end of Belleville is now over. Two consecutive bacteriological water tests have proven the water is safe. Residents on Elgin, Tripp, Pepper, and Butler Avenues, Faraday Gardens, and Lake Court were advised to boil their water after a 24-inch water pipe broke last Saturday. The boil water advisory was lifted on Friday evening.

Wilson says he played safe in the final round and it backfired. "You have to make up your mind, you know, to be real aggressive, or to play just a tiny bit safe. It's hard to just go after them. Carl did that towards end, he just kept shooting at the pins because he had no choice and he performed really well," he said.
