John Gonya; I didn't hear that you were doing the watch thing. I would like to be involved as I live here year around. Ginny and I are interested.
Thanks frank Nye

John Gonya, sorry your event wasn't better attended, obviously there is much less of a population this time of year. I understand the reasons you had this seminar in October (free materials etc). I'm sure a lot more of us would have liked to attend, including my family. If you would like to include my area in the neighborhood watch I would be glad to oblige. This time of year is hit or miss for most of us, although I think its one of the nicest times of the year up here. We appreciate all the efforts you have put forth this year. Thanks for a very safe summer.

Barb, Chuck still lives in Indianapolis. Actually, the blinds on the front are new, we finally had to retire the old ones but the ones on the ends are still the originals. It will seem strange to be at the lake without my parents. I didn't get up there this year at all.

Thank you to all who attended the Safe Communities event at Town Hall on the
4th. I will plan another event for early summer 2009 to reach a larger crowd.
I had to hold this event in October due to it being crime prevention month and
it allowed the town to receive all of the materials for FREE. You will
hopefully see signs marking this community as a "Neighborhood Watch" area in the
near future. I am also looking in to making Clear Lake a "Meth Watch Community"
to let the drug users know they are not welcome here.
Again, thank you to those who were able to make it and I hope you all enjoyed
the presentations. Thank you Mr. Oldsen for the nice comments.
Ron Oldsen 776 Lake Dr. 71.97.197.228 Sunday, October 05, 2008 05:21:00 PM
Thanks John Gonya! An excellent presentation yesterday, its unfortunate that more folks didn't take the time to attend. For those of you who missed the informative session at the Town Hall we learned a lot about the drug issues here in Steuben County (as well as others), the new Neighborhood Watch Program, a K-9 demonstration, and lastly the Steuben County "SWAT" Team. All the presentations were extremely informative and appreciated.

Thanks Tom. I checked it out yesterday afternoon and it looks real good, but the real news is that I was out of the water LAST Sunday!!! I watched you go past my place so often last weekend with boats on your hitch, I figured you knew something I didn't, so Tim and I pulled the last of the summer toys.

In response to Mike Shellenberger msg. I tried to telephone you but found the number listed in phone book not a working number. My Mom owns and I have been through one appeal hearing and just am interested to share information, ideas & possible strategies to put a stop to this "taxation without fair representation". You can reach me in Findlay Ohio at 419-423-1542 (office). I am mailing a new appeal form today and actually will be through the Clear Lake area sometime this coming Monday, Oct. 6th. Hope to talk to you and others at some point.

While I had certainly lost touch with Jerry since I left Indiana, it was not for lack of desire. Time goes on, life starts and suddenly you are consumed with family, job, mortgage etc... but news like this
definitely brings it back around to the good times once had. I will certainly miss Jerry and the crazy adolescent time spent growing up on Clear Lake. Some memories to make some smile during this time: island parties before they (we) were legal, going to the Yacht Club dances in the boat, a left over keg in the back of the Ski Tique (sorry Mr. Deitrich), seven people in the 912, lap after lap after lap of Lake Dr., missing curfew because of some crazy idea Jerry had... I could go on and on but through it all Jerry was the first, last and loudest to laugh. He will be missed.

I am still in disbelief and very saddened about Jerry. As time flies... Jerry,
Jeff Bokel and I were inseparable and the best of friends 10 years ago. Some of
my favorite memories of Clear Lake were because of those two and all the lake
fun we easily ventured into. Jerry's sense of pleasantry was compared to no
others- he could roll the funniest things off his tongue that always kept
laughter continuous throughout the evening. We would drive around the lake
listening to the entire “Little River Band” CD and he would sing every word
verbatim. I always think of that memory when I hear those songs.
My prayers go out to the family and friends, whom will fell this loss,
and with all my certainty, he is in his bass boat in heaven and in the only,
other most beautiful place then Clear Lake this very minute. I am very sorry for
this heartbreaking loss and will hold my memories of our friendship even closer
at this time.

The ramp should be closed until around October 10th. Like Frank said, it will be improved. It should be wider and have a handicap accessible area. I also heard something of a floating dock making it easier to launch boats.

****REMINDER****
The "Clear Lake Celebrates Safe Communities" event will be this Saturday,
October 4th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.. I will have information on
Neighborhood Watch programs, Crime Prevention information, and tips on keeping
your home safe year round. There will also be an investigator from the IMAGE
Drug Task Force on hand to do a presentation and answer questions about drugs,
specifically Methamphetamine. Clear Lake is not immune to this problem so I
have asked for a presentation on what to watch for with meth labs. There will
also be a K-9 unit on hand that will do a demonstration and a member of the
Special Response Team to show off some equipment they use when the enter these
meth labs.
I hope to see everyone there! I would also like to get some volunteers for
starting up the neighborhood watch program in each ward and having block
"captains" for each area. See you there.

Dear Fellow Lakers,
I am Jerry Dietrich's oldest sister. I want to thank everyone for their prayers
and concerns during this traumatic time in the lives of my family and all those
who knew and loved him. Our family is holding on with the Lord's strength and
through the memories and stories some of you have shared with us. Thank you.
Jerry loved this lake and had many great memories growing up here. No one could
find a turtle or a snake as quickly as he could and I am certain he knew all the
great fishing spots...sorry, apparently a good fisherman never tells his
secrets! Of course, what I will remember most about my brother was his wit,
sense of humor and his giving nature. And every time I look out onto that
beautiful lake, I will remember the treasured son, brother, uncle and friend who
will be sorely missed.
The arrangements are as follows:
Viewing from 5-8pm on Wednesday, Oct. 1

I received word this morning that fellow laker and friend Jerry Dietrich died last night from his injuries sustained while at work this past week. We are very saddened with his passing. For those of you that knew Jerry this is a great loss to Clear Lake. Again, please keep Jerry's family in your thoughts and prayers. Funeral services are pending, will post later.

Tom Wehrenberg was instrumental in providing Swim Buoys around the lake and I am sure this has prevented injury and possibly death. On the South Side of the lake there is a long stretch without Swim Buoys, very dangerous. Before we have our Swim Buoys out in the lake boaters will come very close to our dock and will miss seeing any swimmers.

Don't know if there are any old lakers who remember my parents, Charles and Joan Phelps, but they have both passed. Dad died Nov. 16, 2007 and Mom on Jan. 12, 2008. The Phelps cottage has been in the family since something like 1939. Dad's father, Charles A. bought it. Anyway, just thought I'd drop this in the bulletin. Melindahascats@aol.com

Sad news about another one of our own. Jerry Dietrich was involved in a tragic mowing accident on a golf course in Fort Wayne Indiana. He was life-flighted on Wednesday after being pinned under a commercial mower in a pond on the course. He is in Park View Hospital in an induced coma. Please have Jerry and his parents Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Dietrich and family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Some of you may have noticed the Schrader Auction signs posted along the 850E entrance to
Clear Lake. This land, which will be auctioned on October 23, backs up to the Koeneman Lake conservation area and is in a prime location to help assure the quality of water flowing into Clear Lake.
MJ Fitzenrider 332 Lake Drive 71.97.199.65 Wednesday, September 24, 2008 09:33:17 AM
Clear Lakers: While many of us are still reeling from the shock of losing our
friend and community leader, Paul Federspiel, this may be a fitting time to
explore and enjoy those special areas preserved through the work of the Clear
Lake Conservancy. Kasota Island, Koeneman Lake and Spangler Grove are three
examples of land that has been purchased or generously donated and placed under
the protective umbrella of the Clear Lake Township Land Conservancy. Paul and
other conservancy leaders before him, current and past board members and several
generous land donors have acted to protect green space and environmentally
sensitive areas around the lake from further development. Thanks to their
leadership, collective wisdom and foresight these protected lands will remain in
their natural state for current and future generations to enjoy.
With such a gorgeous week-end in the weather forecast, this is a perfect time
to get out and reap the benefits of these gifts from our land conservancy. Take
a walk though any of these preserved areas and know how blessed we are to have
such preserved beauty surrounding us.
It has been suggested that a group might want to meet on Kasota Island Friday
( Sept.26) at 5:00 PM to individually enjoy the beauty of the island and to
collectively gain some closure on Paul's death by sharing some memories of him
in an area he was so significant in preserving. If you would like to participate
but your boat has been put away for the winter, meet on the Yacht Club dock by
5:00. Others with boats still in the water will be circulating by to give you a
ride to the island. If a trip to the island doesn't work for you, then enjoy
one of the other conservancy area with thoughts of Paul on a Job Well Done.
Those with boats in the water who are planning to meet at the island, invite
anyone who you think might want a ride and meet on the north side around 5:00.
We can take turns circulating by the Yacht Club dock if others want to join in.
The 5:00 time should allow anyone to join us and still have time for other
evening activities.

Dear Clear Lake Family,
Your Town Council, Clerk-Treasurer, Town Superintendent and Staff are devastated over the loss of our friend and colleague, Paul Federspiel. Paul was a member of the Clear Lake Master Plan Steering Committee and was closely involved with the Master Plan's completion and adoption. In Paul's memory, we will proceed with that goal. Visit the www.townofclearlake.org website for updated information. Please join us in keeping Kathy and the Federspiel and Latz families in our thoughts and memories as they go through these difficult times.
Bev Parke 532 Lake Drive 69.245.180.243 Sunday, September 21, 2008 10:03:44 PM
First our condolences to the
Federspiel family. You will be in our prayers. On a far more mundane level, we have put a gold sleeper sofa by the road (532) for anyone interested. It is in good shape; we just will not need it in our new cottage. Free for the taking.

Clear Lake Friends and Neighbors,
We are appealing to everyone within the Fountain Beach Property legal
description on your 2008 Real Property Tax statement. We encourage you to
appeal your tax liability in protest of the grossly overstated land value. None
of us would argue that our property value has appreciated significantly, but
what is a fair assessment of that appreciation? We disagree with the current
evaluation system.
Attached you will find Form 130 - Petition for Review of Assessment by Local
Assessing Official to appeal your property taxes. We have also included Form
HC10 - Claim for Homestead Property Tax Credit.
Our land value is the highest on the lake at an average of $540,000. Visit
http://www.in.gov/dlgf/4931.htm to
search addresses around Clear Lake and you will see that our values are far and
above everyone else. For example, a typical value for a lot on Island View
Section is $280,000. Property value on Point Park, where there are several new
large homes, is $375,000. Fountain Beach 1ST Addition is $318,000. East Bay
Park is $214,000. These are just a few examples of the land values around the
lake.
You have 45 days to appeal from the date the taxes were mailed. Most were
mailed on August 18, 2008. We need to hurry! If we Lakers show our
dissatisfaction with the current system, maybe we can get it changed. We do not
believe we are alone in this. Urge your friends and neighbors, no matter what
area of the lake they live on, to appeal. There is more power in numbers.
One other tool we have used to show justification for the appeal is an
independent appraiser. Mike recommends Matt Kruse of Putnam Kruse Appraisal
Group http://www.pfkruse.com. You can
contact Matt at 260-665-2274 or 260-414-2020. Matt’s father is Dennis Kruse,
Indiana State Senator, District 14. Don’t delay sending in your appeal form.
If you choose to get an appraisal, you can send it in later.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Make the right choice and appeal.
Don’t feel you can’t do anything about it. You can, and we can together.
Sincerely,
Mike Shellenberger 912 Lake Dr

Mr. Disser, I believe you are correct on the distance between watercraft being operated at speed. However, I am still learning the boating laws and have to lean on the DNR for some questions. That would be the case with your other question about launching a boat with a marine head or permanent berth. I will check on that and let you know. Thank you for the positive comments.
John Disser 224 and/or 280/14 Clear Lake 208.119.151.50 Tuesday, September 16, 2008 01:45:39 PM
Dear Mr Gonya Town Marshal,
I didn't get to meet you over the summer but heard many good things about you. Law and order on Clear Lake are part of what has made the Lake what it is today. Thank you.
In the past, (way past, like the '60's) I remember reading boating regs for CL. At that time I believe 200' was the required distance between watercraft operating in open water at speed. If that still applies, some people need a reminder of what 200' looks like. I think I aslso remember that at that time it was "illegal to launch or allow be launched on Clear Lake any watercraft containing a marine head or permanent berths. Is that true today ? No particular reason for the question, my brothers and I were talking old time CLlast summer and this came up.
Thanks again for your service to the Town

What a beautiful morning. While in the hot tub this morning Ron & I watched the Ospey as he circled and dove into the water for fish. He was finally successful about 5 minutes ago (8:45am) and is now on the east side of the island in the dead tree eating his catch. He had a difficult time getting airborne with the fish in his claws, but managed to get to the island.
Our rain gauge in the vineyard had 3.25" for Friday night Saturday and 1.75" for Sunday.
Bill Zeller 248 Lake Drive 66.209.133.183 Monday, September 15, 2008 08:29:31 PM
Art, as Robert and Curt reported Clear Lake was somehow spared from the 6" plus rain we were forcasted. Most of the rain pushed north. I talked to a friend today who lives on Coldwater Lake, he said they had more rain then Clear Lake and south. He saw two covered pontoon boats free floating about a hundred yards apart on the main part of Coldwater lake last evening. Seems everythings fine at Clear Lake.
Robert Yeager 524 Lake Drive 64.12.116.141 Monday, September 15, 2008 12:59:24 PM
In response to Art Bok, Curt Wilkinson and I can report that everything is peaceful and quiet on the East shore on this Monday afternoon. Still a bit cloudy and the lake level has come up a couple of inches or so, but nothing is out of place and there has not been any wind damage here like you had in the Dayton area. Any more questions, just ask.

Kudos to the law enforcement efforts this summer. You were very visible on the road and the water. A suggestion for next year--perhaps patrol the water more around dusk. It seemed as though many were on the water skiing, tubing, speeding at that time of day--a danger to pontooners and fishermen as well as themselves.

(unofficial) If you cranked up your boat lift bringing your boat just above the water level of recent times, you may want to head back to the lake, (if you don't live there) and crank it up further, especially pontoons. With the 6 inches plus of rain we will be getting from this system, the lake may raise more then a foot, floating off many boats and pontoons off their lifts. Just a heads up.

From Beth McCracken...
Perhaps you, like many of us, have made comments such as “I wish someone had made a video of houses around the lake years ago so we could remember how things used to be.” Several of us who are interested in recording and preserving “how things used to be” on our beloved lake have formed a committee to research local history. The initial goal is to compile facts and family stories that could perhaps be archived in the basement of Town Hall and ultimately be available to current and future citizens for reference.

If you are interested in getting the school year back to day after Labor Day to Memorial Day go to www.saveindianasummers.org/ and fill out the petition which is being presented to the Governor and Indiana General Assembly this year. Fifteen or Sixteen states now have this in effect and Ohio will probably pass this year. In other words give us back our summer.

Fox hound and a black lab were found at 496 lake drive Sept 4. The fox hound had an orange collar and number which came from Hillsdale Humane society. The dog had been relocated around the Detroit area. The black lab had a black collar with no information. The black lab was beautiful and probably a year or two old with a great temperament. If you know of someone who lost their dog then call 517-523-2308 or call Heathers phone 419-551-5068

To Nedine Buchhop ... Actually the tax rate for schools went down this year from last.
Maybe the Fremont Schools as percentage of your total taxes it went up? Or the value of
your property in relation to all properties changed?
Taxes are calculated by taking the total funds requested by a taxing unit (i.e. Fremont
Schools), approved by the state, and that amout is divided it by the total assessed
valuation. The valuation of your property is then compared to the total valuation. Your
% of the total (tax rate times valution = tax charged) is the tax that you are charged.
Hope this helps.

It is with great sorrow that I would like to inform our lake friends of the passing this week of our mother, Betty Parke (1032 Lake Dr.). Betty has been a Clear Laker for 50 years and had our lake in her heart until her passing. The memorial service will be Tues. (11:00 AM) at the Clear Lake Lutheran Chapel with lunch following. Come join us in a celebration of her exquisite life.

This is a special offer for those who look at this web site. I made a special purchase
of 22 by 108 vinyl boat lift covers that are about one-half the price of the ShoreStation
brand. I have been selling this replacement for three years or more and the customers I
have sold it to think it is great.
I may be able to get them for a week if I run out. They have welded seams as well as
stitched and they fit better than the two other brands we have been selling. Stop in or
call me about the price, color, etc.
I don't plan on using this site ads unless it is a good deal for you. Thanks, Fred.

Bob - I've been researching thru that database for several days trying to make sense of it and the assessor's office wasn't real helpful (they're swamped). If there is someone willing to educate me a little, I'd love to discuss it. I can be reached at "Tom dot Schmidt0 at Gmail dot com" (replace the "dot" and "at"). Thanks, Tom

As John Schenkel said in his posting, different platted subdivisions have VERY different assessments per lake front foot.
You can check out your assessment (and anyone on the lake) by going to co.steuben.in.us Click on GIS online, go to Steuben County,IN, (property search will have a circle by it), and Enter.
Steuben County GIS
Here you can key in a name and click on Search, or you can key in an address and click on Search. When you locate the property, click on the Parcel ID number and you will get lots of information. The 4th category down is "Land-Accessor's Office". The Base Rate here is the assessment per lake front foot.
John Schenkel 472 64.12.116.141 Tuesday, August 26, 2008 07:28:01 AM
Thanks Tom and Chris. I also had a call from another Clear Laker yesterday who is justifiably upset over the complete arbitrainess of the assessment system in this County that is based on platted subdivisions around the lake, and not on the lake as a whole. Neighbors it seems differ in front footage assessments by almost $5000 per front foot because one is in one subdivision and the other in an adjoining one. This whole thing is a mess right now!
Tom Schmidt 254 Lake Dr 72.86.74.215 Monday, August 25, 2008 08:52:36 PM
Yes, I really meant to say Homestead Credit, not Mortgage Exemption which is an entirely different thing. The Homestead Credit is only supposed to apply to your primary residence as defined by where you actually live full time, subject to various residency tests.
Chris Folland 52 Lake Drive 71.120.174.126 Monday, August 25, 2008 05:25:00 PM
I'll add a little more to this discussion. In checking property taxes for homeowners
claiming a homestead credit on their CL home their property taxes went down
appx 30-40%.
For those who did not claim the Indiana homestead credit or are not eligible (erg
non-Indiana resident), the drop was less that 1% assuming that your assessed value did not
increase.
Since 2007 was a reassessment year in Indiana many property's values were adjusted up (or
brought closer to market value).
Tom Schmidt 254 Lake Dr 71.97.196.131 Monday, August 25, 2008 12:43:27 PM
John, mine also went down in Fort Wayne for primary residence. As I understood it, the
"relief" is targeted differently to second/rental homes, agriculture, businesses, etc.
Primary residences, or those that qualify for mortgage exemptions (whether taken or not),
can trigger the cap of 1% of assessed value in 2010 (1.5% in 2009). I don't know what the
trigger actually was for 2007 pay 2008. I think second homes/rentals will be 2% and
businesses 3% in 2010 (2.5% and 3.5% in 2009) which won't be triggered often, because of
the inherently high values of lake property. A second home assessed at $500k would be
roughly capped to $10k taxes at 2% in 2010, which is probably higher than what is being
paid now.
Many also saw a big 2006 pay 2007 increase due to the court mandated change to "market
valuation" method prior to the talk of relief. Lake property assessed values were
apparently quite out of line with market valuation before since they moved faster than
market over time. There was also a 4-year re-assessment change in 2003 pay 2004 that hit
us pretty hard (70% almost 1.7x). Overall, ours increased 150% or 2.5x from 2003 to 2007,
though no improvements were made to our property during that whole time.
Out of curiosity, I spot checked a few properties within the county that were primary
residences, using the Steuben County GIS public records system, and those apparently did
go down significantly for 2007 pay 2008, just as in Allen County. So most are probably
happy, except second lake home owners. For us, based on the new plan, I don't expect the
2009 and 2010 phase-ins to make them go down either.
John Schenkel 472 205.188.116.141 Monday, August 25, 2008 10:42:20 AM
My tax bill in Fort Wayne went down this year 32%. I talked to the Steuben County Auditor and Assessor, and the answer I got was something like--well it IS lake property! I think it is interesting that in almost all of the surrounding newspapers, there are numerous articles about the homeowner taxes going down except there has been no such article I have found for Steuben County. How they managed to keep the taxes up while everyone else has gone down is a mystery to me. I would like an insight if anyone has some real good inside information.

Bruce Spangler 222 Clear Lake Drive 71.97.186.242 Monday, August 25, 2008 10:19:05 AM
It is my understanding that the "Tax Relief" is on 2008 taxes that we will pay in 2009. The information in the recent tax bills, would indicate a significant reduction in next years tax bills. But as we all know, what goes down will probably go back up.
Nedine Buchhop 778 Lake 72.11.18.229 Monday, August 25, 2008 07:14:54 AM
While listening to the WANE morning news, I once again heard the phrase "property tax relief". Apparently, this phrase does not apply to Clear Lake property owners. What a jump!!! And how were the taxes computed? Some had no increase, some a slight jump, and others an exorbitant increase. And I can't understand how our lakefront footage is worth $5000 (per foot) more than our next door neighbors. We must have a better quality of sand. Does anyone truly know the logic--and I use the word loosely--of this? One more rant--thanks to the state for the short notice of when taxes are due.
Tom Schmidt 254 Lake Dr 71.97.196.131 Friday, August 22, 2008 10:45:12 AM

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew about the upcoming Public Hearing for the new
ordinances, Monday, Aug. 11 at 5pm at the Town Hall. These are comprehensive changes that
will have a serious impact on what can and can not be built. If you are at all
interested, please go to the Town website and look into this in more detail:
http://townofclearlake.org
If you have questions or comments, please attend the hearing or let your representative
on the town coucil know what you think. Please pass this on to anyone else who might be
interested.
Here are a couple highlights:
Minimum Lake Yard Setback
• The average lake yard setback based on the lake yard setback of the six nearest lake
houses. However, no lake yard setback shall be less than 30 feet. Image to be added in
Draft C
Here is what was posted on the Town website (you will have to go to the town website to
follow links):
Clear Lake Master Plan Progress Update - Proposed Zoning Ordinances
In April, 2007 the Clear Lake Master Plan Steering Committee (CLMPSC) initiated meetings
with Ground Rules, Inc. of Indianapolis to study, review, and help develop a new Clear
Lake Zoning Ordinance as a part of the revised Clear Lake Comprehensive Master Plan begun
in 2006. CLMPSC’s work is reflected in the proposed draft of the new zoning ordinances
linked to this notification.
The complete Zoning Ordinances document consists of 258 pages and may be viewed at this
link: Proposed Zoning Ordinances.
A smaller document (138 pages) consisting of only Articles #2, #5, & #11 which contain the
most used regulations are available here: Proposed Articles # 2,5,11. This document may be
more manageable to review than the entire Ordinance document.
An informal public question and answer session with the CLMPSC and Ground Rules, Inc. is
scheduled for Monday, August 11, 2008 at 5:00 PM at the Town Hall. The committee and
Ground Rules will explain the process they used in constructing the draft and will answer
questions relating to the document.
On Saturday August 23, 2008 a formal Public Hearing will be held at which suggestions and
recommendations will be accepted from the public. That hearing will take place at St.
Paul’s Catholic Chapel at 9:00 a.m..
Everyone is cordially invited to attend both sessions. The formal Public Hearing is a
critical 1st step in the process of adopting the new Zoning Ordinances.

My connection to the era of the mid 1800's is a Quarter. When I was swimming in the lake in approximately 1963 to 1965 and found this Quarter in the sand on the bottom within 10' of shore. I figured it was nothing special. Here it was dated 1853. Dad, Denver Eckert originally at Cottage #350, took it to a coin dealer and they said then that it was valued at about $35.00 if I recall. My last check on it was 20 years ago and then it was worth about $85.00.
Maybe it's time to take it back in to see how much it's worth now as I still have it locked away for safe keeping.
As to the Cementary at Lake Anne, a close friend of mine lives on Lake Anne on the east shoreline. His name is Mike Ricica and has been on Lake Anne for close to 50 years. He might know something on this. Alan

Just to add some color to the Burying Grounds story, some of which may be true since my memory is not what it used to be---When I was growing up at Clear Lake in the late 40's and 50's, one of my best adult friends was "Mac" McCarthy who lived at 790. He was a great story teller, and had some real credibility with me since he would take my friend Rick McMeen (then of 884 and we were of 888) to the Salsbury fields to the South and hunt for and find all kinds of Indian arrow heads. He also took us over to Lake Ann to the "Indian burial grounds" which were on the north east side of the lake on top of a hill in the woods and hunt for arrowheads.
Mac was a WWII vet who had lost a leg, and in those days NOBODY ever locked doors. Rich had a hip bone issue and was on crutchs and needed braces for his leg. With that kind of empathy between those two, Rich and I would visit Mac sometimes before he got out of bed in the morning-yes I was a morning person even then. Mac had three different artificial legs-one was a peg, one was really beat-up and for everyday use, and the third (still really crude by today's standards) was his Sunday leg, and we would hide all of them THEN wake him up. I'm sure that's where I learned new and colorful language. Anyway, he always put up with us, and I still have arrowheads that foster the most fond memories of Mac and Rick and I tramping all over the places around Clear Lake.

My grandson "lost" his purple swim raft sometime after last Tuesday. If anyone retreves it, we would appreciate it back. It is like the old blow-up rafts for one person, except it is out of foam instead of a blow up. He does not have the use of his legs, and he really likes floating on it.

At 6:30 this morning my husband heard a noise and looked to see that a flower pot on our deck had been knocked over. It had been knocked over by a deer that was standing in the water right in front of our sea wall looking up at our house. He was a young buck and had very short antlers. After standing there in the water about 10 minutes he started swimming toward the middle of the lake. We saw a fishing boat with two men in it heading toward the deer. They "guided" the deer across the lake to the point where Winches live. The men got off onto Winches dock, and we assume that the deer got out of the water there and took off. The men took off in their fishing boat after watching for a while, and we assume they watched the deer until it was out of sight. I have been here since 1963 and have only seen deer in the lake one other time!

NEWS RELEASE: On Friday July 18th, Officer's Compton and McCarty served a warrant on James McBride (Pat's son) in Fort Wayne. McBride is being charged in connection to several burglaries in Clear Lake and around the county. McBride is also a suspect in several crimes in Dekalb County.
After an extensive interview, McCarty and Compton returned to Fort Wayne with a State Police detective and Fort Wayne PD and recovered some of the property from the crimes. This investigation is ongoing and will hopefully yield more property and more charges on those involved.
During the interview, it was learned that several suspects have been in the Clear Lake area to steal whatever they can get their hands on. Please keep your house and outbuildings locked. We will continue to remind you if we find doors open at night.
Also: Keep an eye out for a brown or maroon 1990's GMC truck, possibly occupied by two females in their 20's. They are suspected of stealing mail out of mailboxes in the northeast part of the county. There has been one report of it on Clear Lake.
I will keep you updated.

I have had a lot of questions concerning golf carts. Here is the police department's take on the issue:
Golf carts will be allowed on Clear Lake town streets as long as the driver is at least 15 years old with a picture ID. The cart is supposed to have a slow moving vehicle sign on the back (orange triangle) and a red light on the back that can be seen from 500 feet.
If someone is found being reckless or dangerous on a cart, it can be impounded and the driver cited. Please use good common sense when operating and DO NOT go out on the state highway or county roads.

David L.K. Platt frequent visitor (formerly of #902) 205.188.116.141 Monday, June 30, 2008 01:42:38 PM
My Grandpa Hughes (mom's dad) had 902 Lake Drive, when I was a kid, and mom got us (me and my two younger brothers) up to Clear Lake pretty frequently, even a few times in the winter. My great-aunt Hartman still has 750 Lake Drive. I keep casually looking for a place of my own, there, because I have such wonderful childhood memories of Clear Lake, and I want my wife and two-and-a-half year-old daughter to have them, also. As it stands now, I'll rent a cottage (#915 is great, but it's #804, this year, 7-5 through 7-11), for a pre-planned week, but if it's short notice and/or brief, the Clear Lake apartments has also been great, and very helpful. I hope I don't make anyone nervous if I'm driving around REALLY slow in my white neon with a black roof (long story), but I never want to leave, and I want to take in as much as I can before I have to go. Everyone take care!!

I cannot thank you all enough for the website, the cams (ESPECIALLY the cams, and more recently the live cam), and this bulletin board. I have not said anything before, but have wanted to, so many times. I grew up at Clear Lake, and find my way back as often as I can. I cannot put into words how great it feels to be able to 'peek in' and feel like 'part of the neighborhood', especially when I cannot be there. Thank you all, so very much!!!

Mower Repair - If you ever need a lawn mower or tractor or similar equipment repaired, a fellow by the name of Charlie (I don't even know his last name) who lives on IN 120 about a quarter mile west of CR 600 probably can help. He has fixed several of mine and is good, fair, and reasonable. He does it as a side-job generally on weekends. His number is 495-2176. Mention that I

Attention Clear Lake residents: On Wednesday night, the Police department recovered a large water trampoline that has reportedly been stolen from Clear Lake. It is unknown when the theft occurred but it is connected to the break-in's over the winter.
If you know someone who owns a water trampoline and has not put it out yet or has one missing, please contact them to make sure they still have one. If the victim is located, please have them contact me at 495-9620.
There is also a suspect vehicle that may still show up in the area. Please watch for a purple Ford Ranger with "In God We Trust" plates of ZD1695. Call 911 immediately if you see this vehicle so we can track him down. I will notify you via the bulletin board as soon as I can get him in custody.

For Sale: Douglass Flying Scot Sailboat, Trailer & Lift: $3200. Sailing the past few weekends has been great—here’s your chance! This 19’ fiberglass Flying Scot #403 Douglass day sailor is in real nice solid shape. It includes 2 mainsails, 2 jibs, a spinnaker, almost new blue boom cover, rudder lift system, one-man mast lifting bridle, refurbished Gator uni-lever self tilting trailer and rebuilt aluminum lift. Stored indoors, it was registered and sailed last year. The Flying Scots have been built essentially the same since 1957 and new ones cost almost $16,000. If you would prefer the boat and trailer without the lift there are people that would like to buy the lift only. See http://flyingscot.com for specifications and videos. See at 136 Lake Dr. 260-495-9102.

books available. The Clear Lake Association teamed up with the Police Department and
purchased online safety coloring books. The books are filled with saftey tips for kids
who go online and on the back there is a website that the kids can sign up for their club
and play more games.
It is a fun and safe rainy day activity. You can pick them up at town hall or flag down
myself or the deputy marshal's and we will have some copies in the squad car.

Bev Park: Curt Wilkinson asked me to tell you that either he or Joy will mow your grass either Monday or Tuesday, much depending on the weather. Hope this will meet your needs.

I enjoyed the video cam yesterday. I’m in Florida and had to watch the sailing regatta from the computer. Not the same as sailing but felt like I was there. Flying home today.

During the high winds of Friday, we lost 2 chair back cushions. They are tan in color and will probably be between cottage 222 and the condos. If you happen to find them please call 495-3954 and I will come and pick them up. Thanks Bruce Spangler

A public hearing is scheduled for Monday, June 9, 7 P.M. at the town hall regarding fireworks and animal control, along with a few others. A summary of the two major ordinances has been posted on the Town's web site for review and comment on Monday. The Town invites input, and e-mail can be sent through the Town's site. The animal control ordinance contains some significant changes. Thanks in advance for participating in the process. Paul Federspiel, Town Council

Tim & Greg, I'm pretty sure the town's web site will be updated in the near future and then kept up-to-date.

Greg, We agree with you. Town council, board of zoning appeals, and plan commission minutes should be kept current. It would be a great way for the rest of us to stay up to date with what is going on at the Lake. Thanks Tim

The town of Clear Lake used to put the minutes of their various meetings on line. However there have been no minutes since 2007 for town council, board of zoning appeals, and plan commission.
These minutes were one of the ways that those of us that don't live at the lake full time could keep up on what's happening with our local government. I for one would like to see them kept up-to-date.
