BELTON LAKE VOSOT

FAMILIES AND FRIENDS CAME TOGETHER ON THE LAKES YESTERDAY IN
CELEBRATION OF LABOR DAY.

LAKE BELTON, WAS ONE OF THE MANY THAT WAS FAIRLY CROWDED THROUGHOUT
THE DAY INCLUDING BIKERS, BOATERS, AND CAMPERS.

ONE ISSUE THAT MANY PARK RANGERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHEN DEALING WITH
ANY HOLIDAY IS SAFETY ON THE LAKE. LUCKILY, ON THIS LABOR DAY, THERE
WERE NOT ANY ACCIDENTS ON LAKE BELTON AND SAFETY WAS NOT A HUGE ISSUE.

TODD SPIVEY, PARK RANGER AT BELTON AND STILLHOUSE HOLLOW LAKES, SAID
HIS CONCERNS WERE THAT BECAUSE THE LAKE HAD NOT BEEN FULLY OPERATIONAL
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THAT THE DAY MAY NOT RUN SMOOTHLY. HE ALSO SAID
THAT IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREPARE FOR THE WORST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST,
WHICH HE BELIEVES HELPED THE DAY TO RUN SO EASILY.

SOT: Very little problems this year. Id like to contribute it to
education. Maybe people getting the word out there and
just some good responsible boaters and swimmers out there.

THANKFULLY THE DAY WAS RUN WELL AND THERE WERE NOT INJURIES OR
ACCIDENTS ON LAKE BELTON, CONTRIBUTING TO AN ENJOYABLE AND SAFE LABOR
DAY.
