I have lived on Fairview Lake twenty years. During that time the wild life population has decreased. this summer especially animal life is noticeably scarce. Only one turtle has been seen sunning on a log. Only one bull frog bellows at night. The chirping of hundreds of small frogs in the evening has been silenced. Instead of several Osprey, only one has been perched for fishing up in a tree. Spiraling, jumping of golden carp is seldom seen this year. No snakes have been seen on shore. No river otters have slid over the weir this summer. Not one fingerling small mouth bass has been seen. Eagles are still present Five were seen at one time soaring over the lake. There are no great white egrets this year. What has threatened wild life survival in Fairview Lake?

Found
Under my dock I have a tire with a Styrofoam Center with the embedded letters TOPPER. Not sure if from someone’s floating dock or something I should dispose of. It is really heavy and I’m not sure how to dispose of it.
My address is 20306 NE Interlachen Lane.

Lakeshore Park Improvement Community Open House
The City of Fairview is planning updates and amenities for Lakeshore Park this spring and summer. They have an initial concept plan and would like your input. Initial concept plans include two viewing platforms in the western natural area and clearing the lower brush to open up the western view of the lake. Please come with your ideas on how the city should be improving this park.

“Al Goetz, who lived on Interlachen Lane for 45 years, died suddenly Friday night. It appears to have been a heart attack. He and his wife, Bettianne, were instrumental in the formation of FLPOA. Al always loved our fun activities on the lake. He enjoyed being in the our famous 4th of July parade as his boat was famous for years for the folding chair routine! He and Bettianne always enjoyed the mid-lake socials on Saturday nights. They raised two daughters, Debbie and Jill, on the lake. Daughter Jill and her family built on the south shore right across from home!!
A celebration of life will be held sometime after the holidays. We will miss him very much.”

Blue Green Algae
The city of Gresham reported potentially toxic blue green algae in Fugitsu Ponds which connects with Fairview Lake via Fairview Creek. Avoid contact with lake water that is scumy and green. Be especially careful with small children and dogs as their tolerance is lower.
