SWEETWATER JELLYFISH

I'm no marine biologist but believe it or not.....we have jellyfish. Over the years, every once in awhile, I've seen them here and other fresh water lakes. The are about the size of a quarter and clear with white markings. They are located at the buoy area between Jay Drive and Hummingbird Drive on Sweetwater Lake and swimming about 1 foot under the surface of the water.

DREDGING CONTINUES

Dredging on Sweetwater Lake coves continues. The dredger recently dredged/cleaned out the approach to the Sweetwater spillway. We hope this will cure some of the slow water evacuation during heavy rains.

OVER THE RAINBOW

According to Larry Niles of Eagle Drive who submitted this photo

, everyone left too early on Labor Day. An early evening shower cleared up and presented this rainbow over Sweetwater Beach.

NEW EQUIPMENT

The Conservancy recently purchase two new pieces of equipment to replace an aging money-wasting backhoe. Pictured is Josh sprucing up the parking lot at the clubhouse in preparation for the 57th annual Ox Roast to be held on Saturday, September 3rd.

RAIN AND HIGH WATER

Continuous rain this week has raised both lakes levels. Cordry is on "yellow light" meaning only slow boat traffic. Sweetwater is on "red light" today meaning not boat traffic at all which is very rare.

OX ROAST

Did they ever really roast an OX? The annual Cordry Sweetwater Ox Roast is Labor Day weekend Saturday from 12:00 noon to 6:00 PM. Everyone needs to support this community event. They are also looking for helpers to work a 3 hour shift. Call Dani @ 317-431-4605.

LINDA ANN
