Question of the Week

How has the drawdown of the water affected your summer?

JASON PETERSON, Thompson Falls – “It has definitely. I live on Cherry Creek where we fish and play. Now we have to drive 10 miles to get to the boat ramp to put our boat into the water. I can’t wait for the water to go back up.”

JACK PERRON, Thompson Falls – “We had property here but we just sold it. We are staying with our neighbor Ray Marshall and they take us out on the river. We love it here and will be back in the summers.”

SOPHIA LaFRINIERE, Thompson Falls – “We walked in the sand on the beach and found shells. I sunk down in the sand up to my chest and my family came and pulled me out. It was really scary.”

KRISTY DIETERICH, Thompson Falls – “The people who live on that part of the river and the kids that swim off the dock are affected. But we have a wonderful public pool in Thompson and it is very safe so they can go there and have fun.”

RUSSELL BALLENGER, Thompson Falls – “It affects me because the water is so low I can’t get a boat in there.

CHARLENE WOODY, Thompson Falls – “It hasn’t affected us at all. Our place is on the water and it is deep enough for the neighbors and kids to go wading and swimming and they are using paddleboards.”
