One of the most important things we can do as responsible property owners is to help protect our shorelines, and in turn protect healthy waterways and ecosys- tems that thrive in our area. Protecting shores is vital for many rea- sons. Development right up to the shore causes problems that many property owners do not necessarily consider when creating a perfectly manicured lawn up to the edge of the water. Fertilizers and runoff from asphalt surfaces, parking lots, rooftops and road- ways are able to more quickly and directly enter lakes and rivers when development occurs tight to the shore. Many of these are toxic or so intense in concentration that they help to fuel algae blooms later in the season that cause problems for humans and many species of wildlife. One option is to create a shoreline buffer area sufficient in size to help absorb these toxins before they reach our precious waterways. A shoreline buffer model has been cre- ated at the north end of Millers Bay along Photo by Rob Zimmer Menominee Park where residents can see Shoreline preservation relies on property owners to use a buffer model to prevent runoff problems and encourage strategic plant growth. firsthand how this system works.

The Mason County Sheriff’s Office said Douglas Fleischfresser was on his motorcy- cle at about 1:04 p.m. and was attempting a U-turn that entered the path of the vehicle driven by Melissa Roe, 50, of Fennville. Investigators don’t believe alcohol or speeding played a role in the crash and said Fleischfresser was wearing a helmet. Fleischfresser served as a pastor of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ and was a licensed psychotherapist serving with Lutheran Counseling and Family Services in Oshkosh. He was a colonel in the Wisconsin Army National Guard, where he served as chap- lain for the 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry Regiment in the 32nd Infantry Brigade, and named State Command Chaplain for the Guard in 2018. He served deploy- ments in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Oper- ation Enduring Freedom and active-duty mobilization for Operation Noble Eagle after the 9/11 attacks.
