Lake Leota or Goose Poop Pond?

Ahhhh, I can almost imagine it now. The ducks and
geese chasing my two year old daughter around the park
because she won't drop her piece of bread. Those are
beyond Kodak moments. What makes a park a park? I
think it's the memories created there by customer
appreciation parties, family reunions, sports
memories, etc.etc,,,,,,,,,

The " crisis " of the future and present of the Lake
that Leonard built is interesting to me. I have
passively followed this situation and have formed an
uncharacteristic strong opinion. Break down the
eyesore that is the ....... dam and let the wild waters
return back to there normal stream based state. That
way you eliminate the whole dredging issue completely.
Let the lakebed return to its original intended
state with marsh grass and the like. Make a hiking
trail around or through parts of it and the school
system could use it as an educational resource for
kids to learn about our ecosystem. Best of all,
citizen Jerry Maguire doesn't have to show Evansville
the money.

Worst case scenerio, you solicit offers from corporate
sponsors and build a stadium where the now deceased
lake stands.

Nature intended things for a reason. All this talk
and worrying about a problem man created. It's not
Leonards fault, but his names all over it.
