BOAT LENGTH ENFORCEMENT CHANGE

At its July 20, 2010 meeting, the CSCD changed policy on boat length enforcement on Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes. Previously, the Conservancy accepted Indiana titles as proof of boat length requirements. Now, the Conservancy will begin physically measuring any new runabouts to be stickered for the lakes. Any runabout (hull-type craft) over 19' will be disqualified for use on the lakes This decision was passed without any organized study of surrounding lakes, safety issues of certain types of boats, etc. Previously stickered craft will not be measured. The pictured boat is an inboard ski boat designed for minimal wakes, superior manuverability, and safety oriented propeller placement.

GOOD BYE SWANS

The CSCD approved a motion to remove the two swans from Sweetwater Lake. Seems as though the swans have been territorial and aggressive in the North end of Sweetwater. Dr. David Brickler of Trafalgar has offered to remove the swans and relocate them to his acreage and pond to accompany his other exotic animals. I personally "nursed" them through last winter's cold weather not realizing the consequences. Lesson learned.
