Eagle over White Lake
Tom and Cathy Kielich's daughter, Amanda Lamp, took this picture of a bald eagle checking out the fish situation on White Lake. Eliot Elfner reported a sighting of an eagle over White Lake as well. All of this was over the busy 4th of July week, 2018.

2018 Peacock Triathlon Photos
2018 Peacock Triathlon Photos
Every year, Ken Pientka hosts the White Lake Peacock Triathlon. It is a modified triathlon, suitable for all ages. I don't have the exact distances, but it's something like a 300 yard swim, a 9 mile bike ride and a 2 mile run. Arrangements are flexible. If you don't want to do a 3 parts, you are welcome to form a team or just do the parts you like.
Ken's wife Marilyn and a crew of timekeepers keep track of everything, and everyone has a good time. Typically Ken sends me photos and asks me when I'm going to put them on the old html website. This year, I'm putting some up before he even sent them to me. Thanks to Suzanne Richter's facebook post, please enjoy these shots from the 2018 Peacock Tri. (Click on the photo to see a larger version.)

Ken finishes and gets some much-needed hydration.

Group photo, but not the whole group.
Results. I believe the top half is for those who chose to run all 3 legs themselves. The bottom half is for teams. I like how Jon Elf had two runners, Dory and her dad, so he could choose the best time!
2018 WLPOA Lake Meeting and Picnic a Success!
2018 WLPOA Lake Meeting and Picnic a Success!
Thanks to everyone who attended the 2018 Lake meeting and/or the picnic afterward. This is a great event to visit with your lake neighbors, hear about issues affecting the lake, find out what you can do and attend an amazing brat picnic afterward!
This may have been record attendance. At one point we counted 150 people there. Above is a photo from the meeting part with the brat team in full preparation mode on the right. Mark your calendars for July 6, 2019 for next years meeting and picnic. It is a fun day.
Many thanks to Jane Terry and family, who coordinated all the food arrangements and setup. And to Mike Coursey and family who got up early to make sure all the brats were ready to go upon meeting adjournment. And to Leo Souder who made sure we had beer, coolers and everything else we needed to host a party for this big group.
Thanks to President Mark Mydlach, who kept the meeting moving along and made sure it was interesting and fun, and the rest of the board put a ton of work in behind the scenes. It is a great group of people who really care about our lake. In fact, we have a picture from a drone of most of the board hard at work getting everything setup the night before!

Thanks to Joanne Howard for the first picture of the meeting and to the CG Schmidt backup drone, "Splash!" for the second one.

2018 Annual Meeting and Picnic
July 7, 2018 - White Lake Property Owners Association - Annual Meeting and Picnic
Every year, the White Lake Property Owners Associations hosts an annual meeting and picnic for the membership, their families and guests. This year's meeting will be on July 7, 2018 at 10:30 AM on the WLMD's property at the end of White Lake Court.
Also, we typically organize a 4th of July boat parade the day of the meeting as well, but this year, the parade will be on July 4 (which is the Wednesday before the meeting.) Decorate your boat and meet on the lake at 6pm (just as 'no wake' hours begin.) It takes a minute to get organized, but then we have a slow parade around the lake to celebrate our country's birthday!

Come to the 2018 Lake Cleanup Day
2018 Lake Cleanup Day
Every year, an intrepid, volunteer crew, led by Lesa Vich - a person who gets things done - spends a Saturday cutting, raking and removing leaves and muck. This reduces the phosphorous load in the lake over the winter and spring. The 2018 Weed Cutting Day is October 20, 2018. Besides some valuable work on the lake, I am told it is a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of an earlier effort, I believe in 2009.

My company, CG Schmidt, Inc., is kind enough to let me practice drone flying and photography skills on our backup drone, "Splash!" (don't ask.) Here are some shots of the lake from June 23, 2018.
