News from Boot Lake (10/16/18) Earlier this summer while on one of our many dog walks we ran into Bob Gaie the Doty town supervisor and mentioned the speed situation on Archibald Lake rd. He stopped by today and told us he will be installing 2 new pedestrian signs on our road, one at the beginning of Pine Ridge and Archibald and the other at the triangle. I also showed him the potentially dangerous spot where cars at the bottom of the hill by Dick can't see our driveways when we're backing out so a Hidden Driveway will be going up. These signs are not much, but they might stop someone from getting hurt or worse. While I had Bob's ear I asked him about the upcoming tax increases and the bottom line it's all about the ambulance services in our area or the lack there of. Due to the lack of volunteers they need the tax increase to fund a 3 person 24/7 crew at the Mountain station. This increase must be agreed upon by the towns of Mountain, Riverview, and Doty and if one town does not go along the plan the tax increase will fail and we might be without an ambulance service. This has already happened to the towns of Langlade and White Lake and they have to rely on ambulance response form Antigo while could take over an hour.

Snapshot Day
Ben & Amy represented Boot Lake at the Lakewood location. Volunteers sampled 11 lakes in the area for AIS. Ben & Amy sampled at Boot and Bass lake with Chris Kolasinski, a Water Resources Management Specialist with the DNR. Our site coordinator was Paul Skawinski from UW Stephens Point. We found native algae and aquatic plants in the 2 lakes along with invasive banded mystery snails which know are in both lakes. AIS were found in some lakes that there a documented population already. Next year Snapshot Day will be on August 17, 2019 if anyone else would like to volunteer. We are helping to stop AIS and learning more about the lake ecology too
Boot Lake Water Data for 2018 (updated 8/20/18) Here is the 3rd and last lake data for the year. I was a little surprised at some of the readings. The water surface temps went down a little over July as expected, but in August the temps stayed the same down to 15 feet at 77.1 degree and below that increased at least 1 degree from previous readings down to the bottom. Additionally, you would expect the secchi clarity depth to decrease due to algae and plant growth in the water, but this month stayed the same as July. Amy did note that while filtering the water for the chlorophyll test the filter media had a slight greenish hue, but not enough to affect the water clarity. Kurt
