Project Chemo Cap
My friend, Sharon Kay Willbrandt, died in 1993 of
breast cancer. She couldn’t get over the expenses associated
with having cancer that are not covered by insurance such as baby-sitting, cabs
to appointments, motels for out of town patients, wigs, prosthesis’ etc.
Being a big woman’s advocate, she worried about the other women she met
during treatment who were living paycheck to paycheck.

Caution with Fireworks Urged as 4th of July Approaches
Hearing the sound of oohs and aahs from fireworks
being launched over the water is a summertime tradition for many Johnson Lakers.
But with the tradition comes a risk and a cost.
The U.S. Fire Administration reports an estimated 23,200 fireworks fires in 2002 caused approximately $35 million in property loss; Almost 60 percent of those fires occurred during the month of July around the Independence Day holiday, according to a new report from the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Warmer Weather Takes Toll on Snowmobile Trails
Overall the trails are in poor condition. The Gandy
Dancer trail should be avoided as there are many bare spots. As of now the
trails remain open because the trails in the woods are in pretty good shape yet.

Storm Winds Cause Scattered Damage to JLPOA Member Properties - West Side Pictures
Downed trees blew into homes, blocked roads and
destroyed property around Johnson Lake on Sunday, April 18th. Fortunately, no
injuries were reported and structural damage appears minor. The storm system
developed in Minnesota and raced across Burnett County late Sunday afternoon. A
tornado warning was in effect as a brief but extremely strong wind and
marble-sized hail pelted the area along the leading edge of the system. The
storm moved from West to East, with the worst damage to Johnson Lake property
occurring in line from Brynilson Road on the West side of the lake to properties
along Schoonover Road on the East side. We've divided our coverage to shorten
your download times.
The storm took down trees on and near the Laceks' Lodge property on the West side of the lake. Brynilson Road was blocked as well. Most of the trees broke off well above the ground, but this pine fell over - roots and all - onto The Lodge. The tree poked several holes in the roof.
