Lake health and pickleball?
To the editor:
"City leaders" ask your constituents, friends and relatives.
1. What do you think about our lakes?
2. What do you think about pickleball?
Two weeks ago, the council approved $2 million of the "Wise" Tax funds for the Lakes. Stop using the acronym "lost" to refer to our hard-earned dollars. As tiny infants, we learned "lost" is not good.
May 15, 2026, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources approved a pilot study for Easy Environmental Solutions stock symbol (EZES) for Nano-Void to pump oxygen into our lakes. Fairmont was copied; sent needed DNR paperwork.
EZES offered to help apply $200 or so, filing free with Fairmont's OK.
Mark Gaalswyck of Easy Automation, the largest employer in Martin County, is majority owner of EZES, a local farm boy, has done very well, wants to give FMT.
I placed a "long" ad in the last PhotoPress explaining EZES innovations and opportunity for FMT. If you care about our human, lake and city economic health, you find it encouraging.
Know of Fairmont's cancer history? Wonder could it be our water? I do. Oxygenated lakes, dirt and human bodies are healthy.
$8,000 per month, minimum two months, with three months credited rent to purchase. Barely covering EZES costs. Less than one percent of the $2 million. Is it worth the risk?
Nano-Void sits on a pontoon-covered dock, possibly doubling as a swim dock, maybe at Gomsrud beach. Positive results, each dock is $150,000, transferred through channels; we'd probably need a few.
Some people might say, "seems like the city council can't decide what day it is without some purported expert telling them what to think." I wouldn't dream of saying it.
Call your councilman, mayor and administrator and tell them you are holding them responsible for your health, your kids, grandkids’ health, lake health and our city's economic health.
Oh, ya, that is their job, isn't it?
Today, a stranger asked when I will speak at council, "I will get my friends together and show up."
Join us, 5:30 p.m. Aug. 24, for public input before the meeting, usually just a few minutes.
Thank you.
