Nice work Ginny. Eleven bags of garbage means there were at least 11 piles of garbage out on the lake this winter fishing. These are your LAKES people! Sober up and think about it.

Thanks Ginny for doing more than your part! Every bit helps. Too bad cities think they can continue dumping storm water, along with what it carries, in a manner and type one cannot visibly see. It is too often what one cannot see that is the larger culprit. Keep up your efforts.

Casey, What does your statement have ANYTHING to do with the rest of this discussion thread. I guess moving forward, I will rethink how much attention I pay to your 'contributions' if this is an example of how close you pay attention to the topic.

To the Alex Tech student that found my daughters jumpdrive on a school computer. Please return it. I will buy you a new jumpdrive if this one is returned with it's seven years of photographs on it. We had a bad virus on my computer. It had to be wiped out. We lost a lot of things on my computer because of the virus but we were able to save some of the things on jumpdrives. I had forgotten that my daughter had a lot of my photos in her folders along with her life photos of her and her friends from the last seven years. As you can see, she even had the photo file used for her graduation party. There are photos of two of my dogs that have passed and my other two when they were babies. There were family get together photos that never can be replaced. My Mom is now in a nursing home, unable to know anybody anymore from alzheimers, but that jumpdrive contained some of the last photos of her when she still was a little like herself. Please don't erase it, I will buy you a new one. Alex Tech has some good ones for low prices. Please return it. Just say you were trying to figure out who it belonged to and I will reward you with a new jumpdrive from the book store at Alex Tech. Thank you

I agree that this is a big THUMBS UP to Ginny and others that help clean up before the ice goes out. However, shame on those who leave all that crap out there in the first place! Come on people; does it take that much effort to be responsible and treat our lakes like your own front yard, that exactly what it is. Thanks Again Ginny!
