HANTS LAKE SPILLWAY

Hants Lake in the Prince's Lakes group of lakes is undergoing dam renovations. A new spillway is being installed mandated by the DNR as a result of the 2008 flood. Hants Lake was one of the first lakes developed in Prince's Lakes. Before Prince's Lakes was platted, Hants Lake was a smaller pond and a favorite "swimin' hole" for Nineveh youngsters.

OVER THE DAM AND DOWN THE RIVER!

Finally! Not since June 2008 has East Lake in Prince's Lakes been at pool level. With recent rains, water is actually going over the new spillway system. Congratulations East Lakers!

CASH WAS KING!

Along with replacing the Sweetwater Gas Dock, the CSCD Board voted to purchase equipment for using credit cards at the gas pumps on both Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes. Welcome to the 21st Century! Other business discussed at tonight's board meeting included: boat ramp replacement, road striping in June/July, bids for Cordry Lake dredging due April 30th, New maintenance/office building to begin by May 1st, summer hours for office begin on May 4th, and more. The new conservancy manager, financial advisor, and board members seem to be operating in a much improved very professional manner.

CHAINSAW COWBOYS

I happened onto the Chainsaw Cowboys today next door to the IGA Grocery Store in Nashville. I couldn't believe the artistic talent this father and sons are displaying at their business site. Owls, horses, bears, benches, signs, and more. Give them a visit!

CRAZY TREE CLIMBER!

Local Tree Arborist Nathan Lane (aka tree monkey) is pictured in the top of the dead oak tree! Several oak trees had died due to a fire several years ago. The trees were between two close houses and nearly impossible to remove. Nathan in cooperation with Muck Crane out of Edinburgh are working together to lift the tree parts out to safer ground.

STORAGE BUILDING REHAB

Who could believe that someone could take that dilapidated 3 sided storage unit and turn it into an attractive enclosed storage building? Rodney Gunter of GP Construction is doing the magic! Much of the Conservancy's tools and equipment will be moved into this building during the construction of a new maintenance/office building.

SURE SIGNS OF SPRING

A sure sign of Spring is the return of the Martins. Other migratory birds have been passing through. Several Loons are on both lakes along with groups of coots.

YOGA AND AEROBICS

Don't be bashful! Aerobics and Yoga at the CSLOA Clubhouse is for everyone! There's already a mixture of fellows and ladies taking advantage of the program. Yoga is on Tuesdays and Thursdays @ 8:45 AM and Light Aerobics is on Wednesdays at 8:45 AM.
