I've just had a call from Pam Hebert to let people know four divers will be in the water tomorrow, August 28. These are the same people who were here a few years ago looking for evidence of invasive milfoil or other pests growing in Joe's Pond. The divers are from Aquatic Concern out of Fairlee, Vermont. They will be in the water from about 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., surveying along the shoreline in various likely spots, around Sunken Island, and shallow areas where invasive plants may be lurking. They will also be taking pictures of the large sunken boat that they discovered on their previous dive. They estimated it to be about 30 ft. long and said it had probably been under water many years. This is a mystery we hope to solve one day.

In the meantime, if you see strange activity tomorrow along the shoreline, you'll know it is these divers. Ray Richer will be along with his pontoon boat, and President Tom Dente and others from the JPA will be on hand either on the boat or at the boat access where the divers will begin their search. If anyone has questions, please call Tom at 684-3615.
