I recently learned about the fact that they are considering demolishing Wehr's Dam at the covered bridge park in South Whitehall Township. I have fond memories of leaning to fish here with my dad. We caught a sunfish who we took home with us, named Sunny, and he lived in our pond at home for over 15 years. He loved eating worms right out of our hands! BUT-I can see the other side where having the dam might be harming the ecology of the area (including possible negative impact on fish like Sunny). IF that is true-then I would rather see whatever is best for the ecosystem done. Here are some articles if you wish to read further on this issue:
-Article one from The Morning Call 9-13-14
-Article two from The Morning Call 10-9-14
-Article from WFMZ relating the events at a SWT meeting on this issue
In other news-I had recently been musing that I wondered what was going to happen to the King George Inn. Turns out that the SWT commissioners created an ordinance protecting it and so it cannot be demolished! I am gladdened by this news! Here is an article with more info on that.
So-what do you think should happen to Wehr's Dam? Comment below and let me know!
