WESTERN CRAWFORD COUNTY / WCO JOE RUSSELL Pymatuning Lake- Unfortunately I have not been around for the last week to see if anyone has been catching fish, however I can tell you that as of this evening (12/3/2002) the lake appears to be skimmed over with ice so it would seem that the boating season is over for a while. A tragedy nearly took place this weekend when 4 people in a boat capsized and were stranded in the water. I was not able to respond but another officer was contacted and was supposed to respond for me but from what I understand everyone made out OK. Luckily one of the boaters had a cell phone and was able to call 911 and summon help immediately, otherwise it could have been much worse with hypothermia or worse. My hat is off to all the volunteer ambulance, fire, rescue, and dive team members who responded to help. These people deserve our respect and admiration for all they do and all they give to our community of their own time. If you know of someone in one of these positions take a second to thank them for a job well done and if you don't know them even better just stop by their station and say thank you. Conneaut Lake- Horsepower requirements for Pymatuning- The public comment period has ended now so all that is left is for the powers that be to tally up the results. We will be having a meeting with all the heads of the departments sometime soon and see what all the comments were then they will be compiled and taken to the legislative leaders if everyone wants a raise or it will be dropped and nothing further said if the majority doesn't want one. As soon as we know something that is definitive I will pass it along. |
