SWEETWATER SWANS UPDATE


It's been nearly a year. I took Iris into the Trafalagr Vet for her 100,000 mile check-up and asked David Bricker of Briarcrest Animal Hospital how the swans were doing. Well...he had to relocate them to a friend in northern Indiana. Dr. Brickler had a coyote problem and was afraid that the coyotes would get the swans. According to Dr. Brickler, the swans are thriving in their northern Indiana habitat.

NATURE TRAILS OPEN


After being closed for weekends during October, November, and December, the nature trails are officially open. The deer reduction program is complete for 2011. 21 deer were harvested during this year's program.

THE BEAVER RETURN!


For at last 10 years, beaver have paid a visit to the north end of Sweetwater Lake and taken up residence in the same beaver den, usually in the fall. Fresh mud and a new layer of sticks indicate that they have returned again to this same site. In addition, the beaver have built a small dam further north at the very end of the lake.

BARBERSHOP OPEN


I earlier reported that local barber Jim Adams had to close the shop at the end of the summer and into the fall due to some health issues. His clients are glad to see Jim is back in business at his regular hours in his location at the entrance to Prince's Lakes.
