(ABC 6 NEWS) - As the weather gets warmer more swimming options are opening in Rochester. Cascade Lake was the only place to cool off in town last summer. This year it s back open, but there are some changes.
The lake was open all summer long last year, but this year it is only open Friday afternoons through Sundays due to mining on the lake. It s actually a dredging operation they suck the sand and the sediment off the bottom of the lake that is put in that big pile over there and the water drains out and it is good, clean sand that they can use for construction whether it is fill material or concrete, said Rochester Parks and Forestry Division, Michael Nigbur.
Among the listed volunteers was Greg Munson, who later denounced the practice of oiling eggs to limit development. The neighbor of Silver Lake Park said he feels the practice is inhumane and suggested the volunteers replace eggs with ceramic substitutes instead of treating them.
Widman said other members of Silver Lake Friends opted not to participate after concerns were raised, but volunteers who helped the effort voiced a desire to return.
Replacement and oiling are options supported by the Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
During the first day of volunteer addling, Munson and approximately 25 protesters voiced a variety of objections at Silver Lake Park, with some opposed to the oiling option and others objecting to any management effort that would reduce the number of goslings in city parks.
