NEW GUARD RAIL

A new guard rail system was installed on November 11th, 2010 on Church Hill/Nineveh Road. After several serious accidents, the Conservancy voted to have a guard rail system installed.

NOVEMBER WATER SKIERS

70 degree weather on Monday, November 8th produced some water skiers on Cordry Lake. Pictured is Dan Federspill, Cordry Lake property owner, enjoying the glassy smooth waters. Dan and a couple of friends just couldn't resist getting one more ski ride in before winterizing the boat.

FROST-NO SNOW-YES!

Looked out over the lake this morning and noticed the white roof-tops. Thought that must be a really heavy frost. WRONG! It was the season's first covering of snow!

WORK BEGINS!

Yipee! Work on the new cell phone tower has begun. Grading and graveling of the area south of the fire station just off of Sunset Drive began today.

CRACK SEALED?

The roads crew has been "crack-sealing" for the past few weeks. The weather has been cooperative and the crew has kept busy. Sealing the cracks in the pavement prevents water for entering and freezing in cold weather. If you notice sand on the roads, the sand is used to cover the hot tar and keep it off vehicles.

DEAR REDUCTION PROGRAM UPDATE

So far it's hunters....Zero (0) and deer One Thousand (1,000) The archery season has produced no deer. The target area has been shut down for the Fire Department Open House and the Haunted Forest project. Possible construction start up on the cell phone tower may also interfere with the program.

TRICK OR TREAT

The annual "trick or treat hayride" through Cordry Sweetwater Lakes was a huge success. The party started at the Church of the Lakes with fun and games. Then, the 15 wagons loaded up 175 Children and their parents for trick or treat stops through the lakes area. (Mainly Center Lake Road and Cordry Drive)

WHERE'S HOWARD?

The statue of Howard Prince at the entrance to Prince's Lakes is gone. The Prince family offered the lot to the town of Prince's Lakes with the stipulation that the statue remain. The town rejected the offer so.....the Prince family removed the statue and the lot is up for sale. Several alternatives for the statue are being considered. Placement at the "Y" of Lakeview and Rozelle Drives and/or the Town Hall are two of the considerations.
