Talk:Christmas Lake

Zebra mussels
I've added a 'graph about the 1st 2 rounds of anti-invasive treatment, based solely on the Star-Trib's coverage (which Google News picked up) in reporting on the occasion of the 2nd round. IMO it should be worth looking back for coverage at the time of the first round. IIRC, the species is well established in the Great Lakes via ocean-going ships, and many localities purport to enforce practices (hull-scrubbing of road-portable pleasure boats when they are loaded onto trailers?) to impede the inadvertent transfer of ZM larvae between lakes; presumably sport-fishermen visiting Lake Superior (or perhaps L. Mich.) were (at least indirectly) responsible. Perhaps its potentially close-knit landowners, or the M'haha-Creek District, will formally or informally pursue a witch-hunt, and even recovery of mitigation costs. --Jerzy•t 18:27, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Last fall, not early this year
Today's G-news includes info on timing, in place of yesterday's confusing or wrong info. --Jerzy•t 23:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Our article mostly of historical interest!
While this source doesn't name Xmas Lake, the implicit effort to keep that lake from infecting Minnetonka seems to have come to naught, with 'Tonka & Mille Lacs both on the ZM list. --Jerzy•t 20:25, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
