If so, read you oath again and give me the hearing and answer my charges. If not have a good life and go with your God. - James Sat, 20 Jun 2009 07:39:01 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12832 Or should I say "Et tu, James?"

"Deputy Water Resources Director Pam Francis said there are low-cost alternatives preferable to the large footprint decontamination stations. She said small steam clean units like Hudson sprayers can be used on wet boats." Looking at the Hudson website I see no steam or hot water sprayers (which makes me think we need someone with some technical experiance who can tell the difference). So now $100K later we find out we could have bought a pump sprayer and a bottle of bleach! Jason Roberts comments on liability can be easily solved, if someone wants to launch their boat they sign a waiver, pay a use fee and have their boat inspected. So we may have to turn a few away in the process. All of these suggestions for clorine and cable tagging took me all of about half an hour to find on the DFG website last week so I wonder what is taking the task force so long to discover them? I still contend a RFID tag program would work and be more reliable than a questionnaire about where boats have been. We all know none of those people in forclosure lied about their income to get a mortgage! There need to be stiff penalties for trying to avoid inspection. As for the signs entering the county, I have only seen the one on 29 around Hidden Valley. Not very visable, unlit and I think almost obscured by a tree, some of those flashing LED signs would be more appropriate and use of the Caltrans info signs if they are in a location to alert people entering the county. But with just a couple weeks before July 4th I am sure things will be delayed so as not to turn anyone away no mater what the future cost to the citizens of Lake County. - kd006 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:37:36 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12817 me of the book And The Band Played On by Randy about the coming HIV Epidemic. With the problem being treated like a One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest with the cast and director our Lake County Government, I would get a Michelin Three Star Chef to advise how to eat them mussels, like PETA is People Eatin Them Animals.

Lake County needs a person / organization / or agency to take the lead in making sure Quagga Mussels do not enter Clear Lake. And until it is a "priority" to save the Lake from a mussel invasion, the talk will continue. - annaraven4 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:06:56 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12812 may well be in charge of the lake. Wonder who owns the launch facilities tho;) Seems if F&G calls the shots on the lake, THEY ought to be manning the decom stations. - Donna Christopher Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:50:21 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12810 I seem to recall that closing the lake is out of our hands too, wasn't discussed in the past that DFG would have to call that one? I just wonder how many more years it's going to take for someone to come up with a plan? "At Konocti Vista Casino, they're seeing many boats coming from Arizona and Nevada." sounds like cause to take action! - kd006 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:21:31 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12808 Ms. Yoder. Drinking water is FAR more important than recreational boating - close the Lake until you come up with a workable plan. The closed lake would insure (hopefully) and workable plan coming to fruition in a very timely manner. And don't worry bear, once they figure out were not in red ink in Lake County - we soon will be, the State went hat in hand to the Feds and were sent home empty handed. Which is surprising - we seem to have some pretty good ponzi schemes going on in State government and that seemed to be the criteria for bailout money. - Donna Christopher Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:28:11 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12804 is this a Lake County decision? It's a national problem. - Grace OMalley Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:56:23 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12802 "stimulus" working for us out there. Lake County can ask for some of that money for Quagga Mussel control. Really helped the unemployment numbers, too. Sent the numbers of unemployed right on up to 10 percent, yahoo! Politicians are good for America. They help us to learn to love to pay our taxes. More unemployed, more taxes. Never better. - bosun Wed, 17 Jun 2009 05:34:40 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/9141/919/#comment-12801 like the US Congress and Sacramento legislature. Seems like this political incompetence is contagious. Where can we turn for action? At least Lake County is not filing bankruptcy yet like the morons in Sacramento will have to.....soon. - chubcobear Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:48:49 +0100
