Saturday April 20th brought out the volunteers for the annual Nineveh Road Clean-Up. Organized for the past number of years by Carrie Vavul, the result is clean edges along the front entrance to Cordry Sweetwater Lakes. We usually stop at the north Brown County line but.....one group got carried away and continued into Johnson County to the Dollar General Store!
Last week, Angela VonHoven gathered some volunteers together to assemble new flag poles for both Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes. The assembly included putting the poles together, attaching the flags, and attaching solar powered lights! (YES LIGHTS!) The Conservancy workers will be installing the flags in the near future. Much appreciation to Angela for managing this project for the past few years.
The ECLIPSE was beautiful, awesome, indescribable,! Even without the eclipse the day was beautiful, no clouds, warm, and enjoyed by all. There were even "tubers" out!
There's been lots of talk about the coming total eclipse on April 8th, 2024. Neighboring communities are planning events over the entire weekend of April 6th-8th. Area hotels are all booked. Parking in school parking lots is up for dibs. Everyone is being warned/cautioned about the influx of people and traffic issues. The local law enforcement are taxed and admit the projected crowds are overwhelming! Our area does not have any planned activities but.....locals are getting their boats launched and ready for the afternoon event. Even the lakes may be crowded! Lets hope for a clear sky on April 8th! Stay tuned!
Much time and discussion at the March 19th, CSCD Meeting was devoted to Wake Boats and Wake Surfing. No solid decision was made although the Board did pass a motion for a 60 day moratorium on any new "boats designed to create large wakes" to be stickered. This does not apply to boats that are currently stickered with the district. There was also discussion about further testing, weight limits, and length measurements.
The CSLOS (Cordry Sweetwater Lot Owners Association) sponsored spaghetti dinner was standing room only! Maybe it was the wine! The "dessert auction" brought in over $1,000! Good job CSLOA Board Members and volunteers.
Sweetwater Realty is at the Indianapolis Boat Sport and Travel Show. The even goes from February 16th - 19th....and February 22nd - 25th. Stop by our booth in the Champions Pavilion and say hello.
Friday afternoon brought the most significant snow of the winter season. Perhaps 3-4 inches of snow were dumped in a short amount of time causing many "slide offs" and wrecks around central Indiana.
The ice is gone as of today. Temperature in the 50's. Sunny and no wind. Time to Water Ski.
It was "standing room only" at the CSLOA Chili Supper on February 3rd. Mucho thanks for the CSLOA sponsoring this event. Hats off to judges Herb Benshoof, Andy Tanner, and Mike Leavitt. Applause to winners Heather Hess, Gretchen L, and Marcia Harper.
Sweetwater Lake is completely iced over. Below 0 temperatures overnight finally got the job done. It probably won't last long as warm temperatures are predicted for the coming week.
Winter has officially arrived! One (1) degree outside this morning! The coves are freezing over! Fresh layer of snow on the ground this morning!
It was a cold windy day as the annual January CSCD Board meeting began at 1:00 PM. The election count was not finished until 3:45 pm. At that time, the official board meeting began. The first item on the agenda was the election results. A record 373 votes were cast with only 21 votes in question. Jim Maulden with 225 votes won his area seat defeating Scott Casey with 146 votes. Randy Brumfield won his area with 193 votes defeating Cathy Brown with 124 votes and Denise Coudill with 56 votes. Hats off to all who participated.
The first measurable snow of 2024 came today (01/06/2024) It was too warm for it to stick around for very long. The conservancy road crew treated all the main roads the evening before.
