State Bank POND FREE FROM STUMPS and river improvement note
A community effort cleared stumps from Pine River west of the dam improving river flow. Donations and labor credited to Charles Bennett, Walter Caple, Dan Melanghlin, and many contributors. Work began June 21 after Dr. R K Turek’s petition and included use of an Alma engine to lift stumps, with funds offset by sale of ropes and materials. The project halted before full clearance to Wolf's bridge, but progress promises future enhancements and safer boating.
