Less than one month ago the
Ching Family from Oroville, and the Mautz Family from Paradise along with thousands of friends lost their beloved Brent, Kristen,
Hailey, and Caleb who were residing in Durham, CA.Words do not explain this loss.For
the water skiing community we lost some of our best friends also.Brent was an accomplished skier with
Kristen tearing up the course for the first time in the summer of 2008.Hailey (5 years old!!) went
from skiing double to long line slalom… THE highlight of the year.Meanwhile Caleb (3) did not miss
many passes on his doubles… The Ching family enjoyed their last summer here on earth enjoying
their new ski lake that was filled for the first time in the spring.They spent nearly every day on the
lake and gave it all the use it could handle.We are all so fortunate to have known the Chings and feel
even more fortunate to be involved in their dream of living on a lake.Please keep them and their families
in your prayers.No set on the lake will be done without them cheering us on.We
will miss you Ching Family!!

Lake Update – April 2009
Only a few more weeks to go…Boat Ramp is in, Ag well pad is poured, boat guide and slalom
course anchors installed.Just a few final touchups before the lake will be filled soon!!Alfalfa
being cut this week and forage crop only a few more weeks from being hayed.We should be using the lake
by May 1st.The canal was just charged the other day.This was a good example
of a need for irrigation water prior to the lake being charged for irrigating permanent crops.
It looks like we will hold off until the fall to complete the docks.Simply running out of time this spring.However here are pictures of similar docks built on the
other two lakes completed in the past two years.It’s hard to believe that this is the third lake
built in three years.All are awesome projects that have turned out better than expected. To view more
