The newly restored totem pole is beautiful and looks like new. Thanks to Joe Lepley andhis group of volunteers for the restoration work on behalf of the GLSA. And, thanks toJim and Cindy Dandrea for allowing the totem pole to be re-erected on their property.The GLSA now owns and is responsible for maintenance of the totem pole. When youhave time, stop by and see the restored product. The Annandale Advocate will be doing astory about the re-finishing project and the history behind and individuals involved inthe original totem pole effort. Look for more details in the Fall Loon Calls.

I want to thank everybodywho donated to the fireworkson Lake Sylvia again this year.Your generous support alsogives us a little head start fornext year. Those involved plan-ning whether or not the fire-works display would even bepossible, took a leap of faithgiven the current COVID 19crisis.
It was fun to see all theboats and it seemed each boatwas socially distanced andeverybody enjoyed the evening.It should also be rewarding toeveryone on the lake, when wework together, great thingscan happen.

Loon CallsPage 2 Summer 2020
Unfortunately, all of the GLSA's eventsthis year were cancelled but fortunately,we were able to hold the 4th of July fire-works. From all indications, it went very well,great presentation of fireworks and lots of boatsin attendance (even the mosquitos behaved bet-ter this year).
Treatment for all AIS has been completedfor this year, at least what we were allowed totreat by the DNR.
It has been a different year for all of us withthe presence of Covid-19, but it seems like traf-fic on the lake is as busy as ever. With the in-creased activity we are seeing on the lake,please remember you are sharing the lake withSUP boards, kayakers, paddle boats, sail boats,speed boats, wake boats and jet skis. Be aware,be safe and share the lake, we don't want any
accidents. Remember to read the rules for boat-ing and follow the 150' no-wake rule for ourlake.
Everybody enjoy our beautiful lake, havefun, and be safe.

GLSA 2020Annual Meeting
Due to Covid-19, theAnnual Meeting has
been canceled for this year. For thevoting of the boardof directors look for a ballot to come in the mail. Also,remember to payyour dues if you
have not alreadypaid as only paid
members can vote.
The overall water qualityin both basins of LakeSylvia in 2019 continuesto be very good and meeting theuse attainability classification ofthe State’s water quality stan-dards. Transparency as measuredwith a Secchi disk was slightlybelow the 2018 average in theEast Basin, but was way abovethe 2018 average in the WestBasin. Although transparencyvalues have fluctuated over timein both basins, and for severalreasons, the increase in the WestBasin maybe a reflection of thezebra mussel population in thebasin. There have been severalreports from folks noting moreand more zebra’s on many hardsurfaces around the lake.
Each Zebra mussel has the ca-pacity to filter a liter of water aday, quite a bit for such a small
organism. The combined area ofthe two basins of Lake Sylvia isapproximately 1524 acres with anaverage depth of about 18 feet.Therefore, the two basins com-bined have approximately 27,500acre feet of water in them at anygiven time. This equates to sev-eral billion liters of water. If wehave a population of one millionzebra mussels in the two basins,they could potentially filter all ofthe water in the two basinswithin about 9 years. Zebra mus-sel populations can expand expo-nentially once established. So intheory a population of 10 millionindividuals could filter all of thewater in the two basins in lessthan a year. Their population willcontinue to expand until they ei-ther out run their food supply orsome other natural attenuationprocess occurs. I expect water
clarity to continue to increase astheir population increases.
Total phosphorous levels haveremained below the State Stan-dards and reflect the lake’s abilityto cut off this nutrient below thelakes thermocline. This in turnlimits the biologically availablephosphorous to algae in the sum-mer growing season. The lowChlorophyll-a level during thesame time frame also reflect thelimitation of this nutrient. There-fore the over Trophic State Indexstatus still remains in the Olig-otrophic to Mesotrophic range.
The fish consumption advisoryis still in effect for both basins formercury even though the data isold and no new sampling hasbeen done or is planned for thenear future.
Water Quality Perspectives for Lake Sylvia in 2019Prepared by Mike Mischuk,Chair of GLSA Water Quality Committee
Welcome WagonIf you know of a friend or
neighbor that is new to the lake,please let us know so we can wel-come them and reach out with avariety of information on thelake and the local area. Or if youhave neighbors who moved to thelake in the last 3-4 years, checkwith them to see if they havejoined and are receiving thenewsletter.
In 2019, 12 homes were soldon the lake/s. So far in 2020 (Jan1 – July 6) there have been 6homes sold and 1 lot.
Thank you!

By Blaine BarkleyFirst the best news. The most dangerous in-
vasive species for lakes in Minnesota at thepresent time is Starry Stonewort. Lake Sylviahas it. Since it was discovered a few years ago,GLSA has followed the advice of Dr. JohnRodgers from Clemson University, a leading ex-pert in invasive species who gave us guidanceand testimony in our meeting with DNR offi-cials in St. Paul over our treatment plans. Wehave followed Dr. Rodgers treatment plan ex-actly. Based on a survey of the landing area per-formed on June 24th, no evidence of StarryStonewort was found. This invasive species isfound in many well-known lakes in Minnesotaand states east of Minnesota. No lake that wasever infested with it has ever eliminated it. Asof June 24th, it appears we are the first in theUnited States. Starry Stonewort is called a lakekiller for good reason. It has the potential tomake all but the deepest water in a lake unus-able. Lake Koronis, the first lake in Minnesotato find it spends nearly $200,000 per year totreat it.
There is a caution with our success. It couldreappear at any time. Each year that we havetreated it, less and less comes back the nextyear. We believe that the first year it was dis-covered and we used the DNR plan for treat-ment, hundreds or thousands of seeds wereproduced that were buried in lake bottom sedi-ment due to waves and boat traffic. Those seedsremained dormant until they resurfaced abovethe sediment and started new growth. While thechemical we use to treat Starry Stonewort is
very effective at killing it above the sediment, ithas no impact on seeds buried in the sediment.As a precaution, and perhaps forever, we willagain inspect the boat landing area in 30 daysand continue every 30 days until late fall look-ing for any emerging biomass. If any is found,we will immediately go back to treating it.
For some of you, you may have lake frontagewith weed issues. In the lake surveys thisspring, every area that could be treated wasidentified and is noted. Steve McComas, ourAIS surveyor’s comments are included below.Some of the weeds that people find objectionableare native weeds that the DNR will not allowGLSA to treat. However, with a DNR permityou are allowed to treat part of your beach.
This year we have seen an abundance of anative weed referred to as buttercup. It is quiteextensive this year for the first time. It is notanything GLSA is allowed to treat. I have hadseveral people call or email to express concernabout this new flowering plant because of thesmall white flowers floating on the surface thatare produced. Residents feared it was StarryStonewort. I and the other members of the Inva-sive Species Committee are pleased that peoplehave started to contact us when they see some-thing new in the lake. Please continue to do so.
Last, we have recently noticed our feet beingcut while walking on the beach. We have con-cluded it is zebra mussel shells that are assharp as razor blades and I encourage everyoneto start wearing water shoes to protect yourself

Loon CallsPage 6 Summer 2020
I was looking out the windowat the lake and yard, consideringwhat projects needed to be com-pleted before the 4th of July,when I spotted the Shoot N’Holler Loon family enjoying acalm and relaxing midweek dayon the water. The baby Loon wasswimming along with its headunder water when all at once itslipped completely under. At firstmy concern was that a fish, orturtle had pulled it down. It wasunder only 4 or 5 seconds when itpopped back to the surface. Ithought how amazing it was toview a two-week-old Loon divingfor food. I then thought it wasalso learning a skill for protec-tion, survival.
We now have, I believe 7 Loonchicks on the water, 6 by some re-ports. All the Loon chicks have tolearn these survival skills, withinjust a few weeks from birth. Justa few years back we had 10 and12 Loon chicks on the water by
the 4th of July. Times havechanged, call it progress we havemore and more year-round homeson the lake, but less Loons. Morehomes bring more people. Eachyear there are new boaters that
have to be taught, taught to learnrespect for the Loons. Each yearit’s getting harder, and harder, todrive it home to the new boatersto watch for the Loons, and avoidthem. It’s not up to the Loons to
avoid the people. A Loon can onlydive, swim, or fly so fast.
I wrote an article 20 years agoabout how boating had changed.Boats get longer, motors get big-ger and there’s more of them onthe lake. Most adults gettingclose to the retirement age re-member when a boat motor waslarge at 45 horse power. Now it’sa point of intertest to see one thatsmall. Where boats and motorshave gotten bigger, Loons haveremained the same size, and re-spect for the Loons and respectfor the lake has decreased.
Respect for the Loons and thelake has got to change. Respect istaught at home. It is the respon-sibility of the adults in the hometo teach the new boaters, theyoung boaters, respect. Teachyour family respect of what wehave, and the Loons will survive.Maybe next year we’ll have 12Loon chicks, not 6 or 7.
Summer Loon ReportBy Mike McNellis, the Old Loon Ranger
Are You AGLSA Member?
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO CONTINUEFIGHTING AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES.The future health of our lake literally
depends on it.
since there is presently no treat-ment or cure for zebra mussels.
Please continue to help keepLake Sylvia as clean as possible byreporting unusual items you see andbe extra careful if you are usinglawn fertilizer anywhere near thelake. With heavy pouring rains, itcan be washed into the lake provid-ing food for weeds and algae. Of par-ticular concern is blue green algaewhich can be poisonous to humansand pets. It also provides food for fil-ament algae which looks like cloudsof green webs floating in the water.Please keep in mind, the cost of pre-venting problems is about one tenthof the cost of fixing a problem. Company Coming to LakeSylvia and Bringing A Boat?
Please check this website for in-vasive species that your guest’s boatmay have encountered. Do your partto keep new and untreatable inva-sive species out of Lake Sylvia. Re-member, every boat going into aninfected lake has a reasonablechance of coming out of the lakewith the invasive species found inthat lake. The same goes for yourboat heading to a different lake. Youcan be spreading invasive speciesevery time you visit a different lake.https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/inva-sives/ais/infested.html
Lake Survey Notes-Blaine – we surveyed Sylvia on
June 24, 2020. Milfoil was scarceand only a few scattered patcheswere found. A EWM map is at-tached. The yellow and green dotsare not to scale and the actualarea of EWM is only a couple of hun-dred square feet (less than 0.01acres). There is not enough to treatat this time. EWM in deep lakesseems to be a bit behind schedulethis year. I have also found reducedEWM growth in Bald Eagle, WhiteBear, and Big Marine lakes. Theselakes are all over 1,000 acres. I amseeing EWM in shallow lakes and itis growing in water less than 8 feet.EWM may kick in later this sum-mer, but at the present time, it isvery sparse.
However, the native buttercup isdoing well. That is the plant withwhite flowers. We mapped all but-tercup patches around the lake andfound 51 buttercup sites. That mapis attached.
It also appears this is a big yearfor wild rice. We recorded all wildrice patches and found it at 64 sites.That map is attached as well.
We did not find any starrystonewort at the public access or anyother site in the lake.
We will post the survey maps ofthe items mentioned in the LakeSurvey Notes above on the GLSAwebsite.

By Chris Hector
Unfortunately, it dependson your perspective anddifferent people on thelake have different perspectivesand opinions. Then you need toadd a layer of state regulationsinto the equation that most peopleare unaware of, the most impor-tant layer being the MinnesotaDepartment of Natural Resourcesand their subdivisions. Next addin federal agencies that have over-site that adds to the complicationand regulations that existed nottoo many years ago that have beenchanged and you have a maze totry to walk through.
Jim Gray and Blaine Barkleyfrom the GLSA Board of Directorswere asked to take another lookinto the ability to change the lakelevel since it has been an issue forsome residents for years. Havingbeen told previously by the DNRthat nothing could be done to im-pact the very large marsh down-stream from the outlet, movingwater out of the lake faster poseda danger to it. In addition, other
lakes downstream are being some-what protected by the filtering bythe marsh of all of the invasivespecies Lake Sylvia has. The an-swer was pretty clear. They wouldnot let us do anything meaningful.
Recently another member ofthe GLSA Board of Directors metwith the French Lake TownshipEngineer relative to the culvert atthe south end of the west lake.The culvert was flowing normallyand not blocked in any way. In aletter recently given to the GLSABoard of Directors dated in 1984and addressed to GLSA, the DNRwas more willing to assist GLSAin managing the stream flowingout of Lake Sylvia. Since then thestatute that allowed some degreeof management was rescinded in2004. Prior to it being rescinded,GLSA was able to do someamount of cleaning of weeds andbrush from the stream bed to letwater flow downstream at a fasterrate.
In our most recent meetingwith the DNR hydrologist we wereinstructed since the marsh-wet-land has been in existence for atleast 25 years, the Army Corps of
Engineers would now likely get in-volved in permitting for dredgingsince increased flow would affectthe marsh. At the present time,we are limited to only dealingwith the first 280 feet of brushand weeds in the stream bedbelow the outlet culvert and eventhat may require the constructionof a filtration plant to make sureour invasive species are not beingflushed downstream to otherlakes. In a previous investigationof the cost of a filtration plant tofilter incoming water from LakeJohn, the construction cost ap-proached $400,000 without landcosts or operating costs and re-quired a year-round insulated andheated building to house theequipment.
Apart from the streambed/dredging issue, lakes andrivers in the whole state have highwater because of the unusuallyhigh levels of precipitation withmuch of it coming from downpourscausing unusual runoff during thelast several years. As a result, theNorth Fork of the Crow Riverwhich Lake Sylvia eventuallyempties to is high, and so are the
other streams and lakes thatdrain into the Crow River Water-shed. More water being emptiedout of the lakes means more andlikely worse flooding of the CrowRiver. The hydrologist also saidthere are many other lakes thatwould like to do the same thingwhen water levels get high.
The state hydrologist’s last ad-vice to us is about trying to lowerthe lake, which this year is rela-tively low, Lake Sylvia would haveless reserves of water to carry usthrough dry years and that thereis a danger of the lake level takingmany years to recover to an ac-ceptable level. He also stated thatfor every person benefitting from alower water level, there is some-one harmed by the same action.
In summary, any attempt tolower the water level in LakeSylvia by mechanical meanswould likely result in a long, com-plicated, and expensive permittingprocess, costly filtration equip-ment and that it might never beapproved after all regulatory par-ties and impacted property ownersbecame involved.
The Lake Level-Too High, Too Low, Or, Just Right?
Old timers around LakeSylvia tell us that mypresent cobblestone houseon the hill was known as the Jack-pot in the 1930s. Moonshine wasmade with stills in the cellar. Themain room had gambling tablesand slot machines. In four bed-rooms on the second floor werewomen-beautiful women, andprices were reasonable. Today itwould be a one-stop entertain-ment center! Some guys I knowaround the lake now, I would havemet at the Jackpot.
My father bought 80 acres onthe North side of the West LakeSylvia in 1932. At the time therewere only three owners on the en-tire north shore of the West Lake;Paul Sundberg, Bob Macgregorand Judge Flannery.
There weren't over 30 houseson Bull's Island, now the penin-sula, in the 30's, with Stan Bull
being the best known resident.We walked across the channel toBull's Island with water to our an-kles only. We could get throughthe channel in a canoe, sometimesgetting out to pull.
My brother Jim, my sisterMary, and I took a spin in mydad's new boat with a 3.5-horseoutboard motor. We didn't havethe motor tight enough to thetransom and it popped off into thelake. Since I was the oldest, Iasked Jim and Mary to dive for itand I would supervise. The lakewas clear and clean. We could seeit, but they came up sputteringwater and couldn't reach it.
We marked it as best we couldand went to the farm for the bail-ing hook and rope. We returnedand could see the motor on thebottom, but we couldn't hook itwith 65' of rope. Dad wasn't toohappy.
