Lake Reports


 President's Message
We’ve spent a lot of time at the lake this winter, skating and skiing.  There hasn’t been so much snow as previous years, but does there seem to have been more people ice fishing than before?

With a house on the lake, there are always visitors, so last year we decided to add a bedroom. After a few design iterations we were ready to go by September. At least we thought we were … then we remembered the Shoreland Permit. We decided it made most sense for a professional to prepare the application. The process was straightforward, but it took time (and money). So construction will start in spring. It’s important to control development at the waterfront, buthopefully you can learn from our experience – if you plan to do any construction, even for a simple project such as an extension to a deck, look into the permit process early!

The last time loon chicks survived on Kanasatka was 2004. In 2008, the raft was moved and was used by a nesting pair who hatched chicks, but unfortunately the chicks did not survive. So, in the hope of a successful nesting pair in 2010, please stay away from the raft area and give the loons some peace, and remind your renters and visitors to do the same. If you would like to check out the loons, the web cam will be used again and can be viewed from our web site.

TREASURER'S REPORT
In 2008, we received dues from 81 families and in 2009 we had 75 dues paying members.  While that was a slight drop in dues, we continued to be on the positive for cashflow.  This will allow our water quality testing program to continue as well as our donations to the Loon Preservation Committee, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, the New Hampshire Lakes Association and the Squam Lake Association. 

Thanks for your support.
Doug Whitley,  Treasurer
