RE:    HARBOR LAUNCH AND DREDGING

Joe Franko from the City of Whiting has completed his springtime dredging for this year.  Fortunately, Joe was able to get us open at a decent depth to the main lake.  Please feel free to launch your boats now. You should have no problem getting in or out. But I would still recommend at least for the
first few times to go slow, and maybe raise your motors, as I am not sure how deep it is. Joe will dredge more again in the fall.

RE:    WHITING PARK CLOSING HOURS

Please be aware that again this year, for whatever unknown reason, the City of Whiting has decided to not allow vehicles into the Whiting Park after 6PM. I do not understand this and we are currently pursuing a meeting with the mayor and his council to give us an answer. For now, please abide by the City of Whiting's rules.

RE:    WEATHERBUG CAMERAS

The City of Whiting has installed new high-definition WeatherBug cameras. They replaced our old WeatherBug cameras that allowed us our live viewing of the harbor, lake and beach. Unfortunately, for now, we have no access to this system.  I have contacted the City of Whiting's I.T. Manager, and he will be sending me the current link to get us all our views back.  When this happens, I will transfer the information to Norm, our I.T. Specialist and we will be back in business.
