Public access key to tourism

What do restaurants, motels, vacation rentals, gas stations, grocery and retail stores, plumbers and real estate agents have in common? Their owners and employees all depend heavily on tourism for survival. Lake County Commissioners, through the County Parks Board, have developed a draft management plan to help guide parks and recreation activities to support this economic engine for the next 10-20 years. The 120-page draft plan is available for review on-line and at the county’s libraries. The comment period ends April 30. If you enjoy walking, biking, fishing, boating, and swimming or your job depends on visitors to the area that participate in these activities, please comment.

VISITOR: Pilings pose serious danger

I visited your city this past summer, and enjoyed all of the lovely parks, trails and city shopping with my two children. My sister and her family toured us on the lake and adjoining river with their boat and tube. We had a great afternoon, until the joy of our trip quickly turned to concern for our safety as well as a constant thought of trying to measure a decision the city made that was explained to us. We were boating on the lake with our four kids (cumulatively) age range 6-12, when I was suddenly scared out of my mind (as I was in the tube) when I saw pilings poking out of the lake (some only an inch or two), impossible for the boater to see.

One reading this letter may assume we were going too fast in a slow speed specified area, but we were hundreds of yards away from the slow zone, as well as shore (a "safe" area to boat).
