Tonight

WLIC Annual Meeting

Not a moment too soon, the perfect opportunity for our leadership to address what has to be the most important task for the coming year...no, not amenities at C Point, or maintenance of access areas, or addition of dock spaces. Protection of the lake...of course. The recent sewage spill and the road work on Barry road pose major threats to the lake. Have you been down to the "hole" that used to be the bridge? I was down there Sunday. Impressive, as they lay the footings and pad for what will amount to a mongo cement culvert to span Barry Road. Take a look. While you are there you will see in North Cove the huge mud bar that represents sedimentation from upstream. Not so impressive. As a matter of fact, scary. The development to the north of the Lake can only continue to contribute to the "stuff" that ends up in the Lake, not to mention what will happen as the Barry Road project goes into full swing.

The media reports about the sewage spill emphasize the urgency of the matter. If the quality of our water is even a question why would someone want to buy a property here? If you can't swim in the lake would we need a beach? If the fish are tainted would you bother fishing? Hopefully the directors tonight will signal what the plan is for 2010.
