Spring is upon us and so is the legacy of the
winter season. A walk along Sunnyside Road on Long Lake is
indeed a pleasant activity. It would be more pleasant if the
speed demons would slow down and not threaten life or
limb.
At anytime of the year one has to be acutely
aware of two hazards. First you must keep your head up to make
sure the speed demons don't wipe you out. Secondly, you must
keep your head down to avoid stepping on the amassed dog
doo-doo of the winter.
It's reprehensible dog walkers do not pick up
after their pets. Perhaps if some were fined to the full extent
of the law, more responsibility in this regard would be
assumed.
I can't understand is why anyone having a
home on Long Lake would not pick up after their dog. The feces
eventually wash into the lake from where most of residents
obtain their water. Condemnation of Long Lake would
significantly reduce their property values and make life in
this area intolerable. I am sure we could all do better.
