With Sadness

It is with deepest regrets we report the passing of Dr. Marcia Skjaerlund, wife of our Associations current President David Skjaerlund.  Our thoughts and prayers are with David and the Skjaerlund family. 

Sailboat drifting

Conrad Mason reports that there's a small white sailboat in front of their house.  Ann spotted it around 8 o'clock yesterday morning. She doesn't know which way it's moving. It's not moving much so it must be anchored but still dragging it as the boat bobs.

Check your boats.

Lake Level Readings on the Website

We are now posting our lake level readings on our website.  You can follow along as we document the level of  LTL and Shalda Creek at the culverts.  Go to our Association's website, www.littletraverselake.org, and click on the 'Lake Level" tab.  There is a green selection called "Current and Historical Lake Levels". Click on the green box and a Google docs will open.  Give it a few seconds to load completely.  The data starts in 2015, so scroll down to about line 400 for the most recent information.  Enjoy!

Save The Date - Around the Lake Garage Sale

The Around the Lake garage sale will return in 2018.  It will be held on July 14, 2018.

Start organizing your treasurers and mark your calendar.  More information will be available as we get closer.

Latest E Coli Testing

Another E coli test was completed on the lake on September 12, 2017.  5 locations were tested with results ranging from a low of 1 colonies/ml to a high of 58 colonies/ml.  This is an improvement from the results we received this summer and are considered safe.  Testing will continue as well as attempting to identify the source.

Coffee with the Board

This Saturday, September 16, 2017 at 9:30 AM, join the Board and Association members at the Cleveland Township Hall for an informal discussion of issues that are affecting the lake.  We will be discussing water level, water quality, the Heritage Trail and other issues.  This is an opportunity to get updated on the latest and share your thoughts and ideas.

 

This discussion is for members only.  Please try to attend.

Charter Rate Increase

Charter just notified Janice Sohn that their cable rate is almost doubling ... we are interested in knowing if any LTL homeowners:

.   use a TV antennae, either outdoor or inside?

.   How many channels do you receive?  

.   What are the channels?  Pbs?  CBS?  Etc

.   Are there any installers in Leelanau county or TC area?  If yes, name and contact info plz.  (I've been googling but it "appears" no one is local.). 

Any and all input is appreciated.  Many thanks.
