HOOVER DAM

Final grading and finish work is being completed on the East Lake Dam in Prince's Lakes. The lake has been empty since the flood of 2008. Residents hope to be using the lake this summer. Locals have nicknamed the project "Hoover Dam!"

NEW MAINTENANCE BUILDING

The CSCD discussed the need for a new maintenance building/office building at the monthly meeting. Four architectural firms submitted bids for fees. Of those four firms, two were asked to return with bids on different forms. The present maintenance building is in deplorable condition and the office building is running out of room. They voted to rent storage space outside of the Conservancy for old records and files.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

Started watching the weather forecast a couple of days ago in hopes of attaining a long time goal: "To water ski and snow ski all in the same day!" The weatherman came through and produced the perfect day! Water skied on Cordry mid-day and snow skied this evening at Paoli Peaks in southern Indiana. And the kicker...it was my birthday! (59 and holding!) Thanks Bryan. Jeff, and Luke.

BOAT SHOW

The Indianapolis Boat, Sport, and Travel Show began on Friday, February 17th and continues to February 26th. This show is alway a sign that spring and the boating season is just around the corner.

RAPTOR PROGRAM

Several new wooden bird houses have appeared near the wooded areas in the conservancy. These units are part of a program sponsored and paid for by the South Central REMC electricity supplier. Future plans include an eagle nesting unit.

PRIDE IN WORK

The road/water utility workers sometimes have some free moments when rainy weather curtails their outside work. This winter, they refurbished the 1981 Conservancy tractor. It looks like brand new! Fellow workers agree that most of the credit goes to Josh. (far left)

SUPER BOWL WATER SKI

Sunshine and glassy water made it possible for several of us to launch the boat and do some water skiing on Super Bowl Sunday.
