OUSTING ALGAE: Spring cleaning begins on Bald Eagle Lake - KMSP-TV

This is an interesting video and deals with Algae Bloom. The Limnologist, Matt Kocian, just happens to be the son of  friends of ours and is a good source of information. Take a look and see how they deal with the problem and what the costs are.

We're Back in Business just in time for Ice Out

Thank you Kari for the photo of the last remaining ice on Lake Thompson as of May 4th. Can you see the block out on the ice? Kari said it fell about a half hour after the photo was taken. So I'm wondering .....who had May 4th as their guess???

The blog has been down as of late but I've managed to figure out the problem and fix it, hopefully it will stay fixed for a good long while!

Winter Flyer- Dues & Ice Out

 

Attached is the Lake Thompson Association Winter News letter.  This is our first attempt to recreate the lake association members email group for a more timely and efficient communications tool.  We are using the email address that you gave us last year.  Those that do not have an email address will be sent information via US Mail.  The goal is to have as many members on our lake email group in order to additionally save on mailing costs.  Please understand that we will have some undeliverable emails due to incorrect email addresses for various reasons.  We plan to update our email group on a regular basis as corrections are identified.

 

Please let us know your current address, phone numbers and email address with your mailed dues payment and ice out guess.  Note the earlier ice out contest mailing date deadline of February 20, 2013.

Lake Thompson Association Winter News

January 2013

Hello and Winter Greetings to all

-It is that time of year when we start thinking of the summer to come and fun at the lake.  It is also time to pay your Lake Thompson Association dues. $30.00 per year

-Paying your yearly dues awards you the chance to guess the official DAY AND TIME when you think the ice will officially

be OUT for Winter 2012/2013.  See form below.

-The annual meeting will be on Friday evening, 6/28/13, at Holiday Acres. 5:30 PM with the ICE OUT WINNER announcement

-Any comments or issues or concerns of members who cannot attend the annual meeting can be addressed to board members before the meeting. 

-For discussion will be the request for grants for any treatment of AIS, that may be found in Lake Thompson.  At this time we have been lucky with no AIS discovered in 2012.

PLEASE CONSIDER VOLUNTEERING AT THE BOAT LANDING for prevention of AIS entering lake Thompson.  If you can only be there for an hour or two one day in June, July, and August you will be helping the small group which provides this service to the lake owners at this time with no compensation. 

-To save on postage, this letter will go out by email first.  Any whose emails are rejected or who have not provided us with an email address will receive their letter by US Mail.

Some Summer Fun....

I have been having trouble with posting and uploading photos lately and hopefully I may have found at least what might be a temporary solution. It seems that we had used up our allotted space of 2 g's and would have to gain more space by purchasing it. Blogger has also changed some things so that I have to upload photos only to Picasa and then sync them to the web in order to post them here. But I managed to accomplish what I needed as this was a test run and maybe we'll be good for at least awhile.But in the meantime enjoy some of the photos that Mary Oelrich Rolling took at this summer's Annual Picnic. If you see youself or others you know, please leave a note and we'll tag those faces. a big thank you to Mary for taking the time to snap this happy group and send them on to me. If you don't hear from me for awhile it's most likely that I ran into some more problems, but don't worry we'll work on getting things fixed even if we have to pay the small fee they might require. And hopefully I'll be able to post some more of Mary's photos.
