       A bold statement, and one that is TRUE!
       The Oxbow Dam is a looming danger to the communities &
       neighborhoods just west of it's location. This is under
       hydraulic pressures applied by all that water it's holding back.
       Here's a map for reference.

       Go and take a look at this dam, if you can find it. It's all
       covered with trees and is scheduled to be cleared with the new
       Canal Corporation's Earthen Embankment Integrity Program, or
       EEIP as it's called. You will have to walk the outer slope of
       this dam to see the huge gouges caused by all those trees
       funneling water and weakening the slope due to tree roots &
       erosion.
       Now, go read this news article about the Edenville Dams that
       just flooded Midland Michigan and see the same issues there are
       on this very Dam in Fairport. Michigan is still fighting this
       unsafe dam problem, and getting it repaired will be no easy
       task. Is Perinton going to be the next Midland?

       Mike Caswell, your neighbor and Co-Founder of the ECNA has been
       trying to use Nextdoor as a tool to keep Fairport Residents
       notified of this danger and how bad this particular earthen dam
       at the Oxbow has become. His reward is that he has been booted
       from Nextdoor for the third time now, this time for another 30
       days because Nextdoor Fairport doesn't think community safety is
       as important a topic as lost kittens.
       Here's Mike's latest email to Next Door moderators to inform
       them they are avoiding very key subjects for Fairport... Public
       Safety.
       The big trouble with Nextdoor Fairport is that a Facebook Group,
       calling themselves the Stop the Canal Clear-Cut, has taken
       control of what topics get discussed in Fairport, having placed
       several moderators on the Nextdoor Fport watchdog committee.
       They do not like the ECNA, they do not like Mike Caswell and the
       certainly do not like to discuss public safety, they are against
       fixing these unsafe Earthen Dams.

       It's up to you all what you do with your safety and the safety
       of your community, but what is happening right now in Fairport
       is a recipe for disaster, Just ask Midland residents who thought
       their Earthen Dam wouldn't break.
