From Doug Markham ...<'TK><
Guys,
We got no help from the Lebanon Democrat as far as I know during out efforts to
defeat the Corps.
This morning Larry Woody has an article about the man drowning the other day
BELOW THE DAM and
the dangers of the fishing below them as the Corps warned us.
Please let everyone you know understand that this is a bogus article.
Kenny Elliott, the angler who died last week, died in an inlet of Johnson
Creek on Cheatham Lake well above the dam.
It also says that life jacket wear below dams is "seldom" enforced.
I have no idea where he got that from.
Sorry to see that Larry chose to take this path in the argument we fought so
hard
to win, especially since he chose not give the issue much coverage.
I understand that eventually someone will die again below a dam, but there will
be scores more who die d on the lake side, as we worked hard to prove, because
some anglers and boaters refuse to put on a life jacket.
Thanks,
Doug M.
