See you Saturday Norm! Mark O'Donnell

Fine work Terry, There are many who believe we need less government regulation in ours lives. This certaintly shows that in this case (or anything environmental)we need more! (or perhaps we just need the laws on the books enforced)! Mark F. O'Donnell

Norm, I would like to bring my jonboat or canoe to pick up the tires and what not that seem the hang around the islands, this stuff usually gets overlooked on cleanups as it is a little hard to haul out. Who else can join me in doing the same and provide shuttle service so we can get back to our vehicles? Thanks, Mark O'Donnell

Can't make it Saturday, so will be there Friday morning working the stretch downstream from the mouth of Rock Creek (after I fish it of course)! Norm, does the Park still pick up trash from the dumpster by the concession stand (which appears to be closed)? Mark O'Donnell

I know that when I visit out of state park, I have to pay a daily fee. Maybe, we should start with charging out-of- state visitors first!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the members and their families! MarkO

Gas prices have surged already (in what they had in the tanks before) in the area.

Fellas, Put me down. I will help out like last year. Mark O'Donnell

Hello ISAer's, About 7 days per month, Beavers can become quite irritable. Or maybe it is only 7 days per month that they are not? MarkO

Hello ISAer's,

Best of Luck on the tune-up Norm. May God look down on and smile on the patron saint of the Kankakee. Mark O'Donnell

Dave, Can you go into any detail on what was said about the Green River? I fish there a couple times a year so I'm interested. PM me if you do not what to disseminate sensitive information! Thanks, Mark O'Donnell

Hi Mike, I'll be there again to help out (unless work gets in the way). Will keep in touch on this. Remember keep the burgers frozen! Mark O'Donnell

While efforts to thwart this nuisance fish from entering up throught the Sanitary & Ship Canal into Lake Michigan are all well and fine, I wonder about the Cal Sag Channel as well. Does this not also connect to Lake Michigan? Why no efforts here? Something very serious and drastic may be the only way to stop them. The only surefire approach appears cutting off the canals/channels from the lake, period. I wonder what the State is willing to do as a last resort before it is too late? Mark O'Donnell

Then you woke up! Right? Mark O'Donnell
