We use the lake alot for water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, kayaking and <br />pontooning and have found them to always be respectful and careful. We have watched the <br />competitions and just wished this had started earlier so our 3 children could have participated as they <br />grew up on the lake. <br />We support their application and believe this would be a good use of currently under utilized park <br />property. We also believe this could also help our area high schools develop a good rowing program that <br />many children could participate in and then go on to college programs such as the U of M's. <br />James and Cindy Bigham, 1545 Long Lake Blvd, Orono, MN. Thank you for your consideration of this <br />matter. <br />
