Late Night Boat Accident

I heard there was a late night boating accident Saturday. One boat collided with another out near Oakwood. As far as I know nobody was hurt.

The Green Lake School System Forum

I HAVE MOVED MOVED THE COMMENTS HERE OVER TO THE NEW MESSAGE BOARD SO THEY ARE ALL IN ONE PLACE AND EVERYBODY WHO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY CAN DO IT IN ONE PLACE. PLEASE POST ANY NEW SCHOOL COMMENTS THERE. THANKS. JUST CLICK ON THE LINK TO THE RIGHT AND TAKE IT FROM THERE.

There seem to be a lot people who would like to have a forum for the Green Lake School District. I agree with them. I am in the process of changing this format so more people can start creating their own "feeds". I am pretty ignorant on problems with the school system but I get a lot of emails want a school system spot to discuss this isuse. So until I get the new format up so you can start your own "feed" here is the Green Lake School Forum for you.

Tourist Area Liquor Licenses

Two Chez has been trying to get a liquor license from the city for a couple of years. Heidel House, which could operate on a non-conforming liquor license fights them and the city in this regard. The city backs down from Heidel House. I keep wondering how many local people are even employed there at all. Other than the taxes Heidel House pays the employees can barely give directions to anything around here becasue they aren't from here nor are they encouraged to promote the area, just Heidel House. Two Chez has even agreed to put in writing that they would return any liquor license to Heidel House if there was a problem. Heidel House still declines and the city goes along. What would happen if the city did give another establishment Heidel House's "regular" license. Would they move out of town?

Summer Soltice

The Chamber of Commerce is having the summer soltice night this weekend. What stores we have will be open late. Get new pajamas.

Dimmer Day

A little local color went out of Green Lake last night when Arden T. died. He was lucky enough to have died at home in bed. I think there are a few relieved bluegills in the mill pond. I'll miss him and my sympathy to his family.

Spring Grove Fugitive

I see the woman who was protecting herself from the late night intrusion on Spring Grove Road has a warrant out for failure to show up at her court hearing. Keep an eye out.

ABA Development

At the last meeting for the ABA development the current plat was turned down. The developers are going to have to come back with a new modified plan. I think if they would increase the lot size they would not be meeting with so much resistance but they don't seem to want to do this. I noticed in the Ripon paper a photo of a bald eagle nesting in the development area. The Green Lake Center just seems to want to ignore ths aspect of the possible developement.

Camp Grow Fundraiser

I hear the Camp Grow Fundraiser at Bob and Patty Francis's house was a big success. People seemed to have great time on a beautiful night in a beautiful setting. It is great that Bob & Patty open their house for this event.

4th of July Fireworks

You only have a few weeks left to contribute to the Green Lake Fund at the Chamber of Commerce for the fireworks. Be aware that they are not free but they are the single best event the lake has every year. Make checks payable to the Green Lake Fund and send them to the Chamber of Commerce. Let Dusty know you read about it here.

The Court House Saga Continues

There was yet another meeting at the courthouse to discuss the courthouse. Unfortunately, I couldn't get there. Was anybody out there in attendance?

Tragic Event Today in Hattie Sherwood Park.....

I wouldn't speculate about such a tragic and sensitive issue, but a very reliable source has told me that the body of a male was found at Hattie Sherwoods today, apparently the victim of a gunshot wound. Naturally there will be a lengthy investigation into this and of course the full details will be released to the public in due course, but I just wanted to let our bloggers know about this very sad news.

Our thoughts and prayers should go out to the deceased, with sincere condolences to his family and friends.
