activities if we are organized. This way we can share information and experiences and help one another if a problem arises We can also coordinate ongoing research and lake monitoring by interested governmental agencies to help preserve the future health of our lakes and wetland areas “We’ve already had success in seeing this concept work. " Bohlin added. He referred to a recent petition by an individual to develop wetlands on Tippecanoe Lake Suppor* for the lake property owner group was of sered by other members of the council, and the proposal was eventually defeated. “The idea behind the council,” Bohlin added, "is an idea whose time has come — it’s something we must do to protect our lakes from deterioration and to preserve them for generations to come.” Persons or lake associations wishing more information can contact Bohlin at 267-5931 days or 453-3273 evenings and week ends.
