BUSTED: Alleged Jet Ski Hater

Sue T. wrote a letter to The Bullett telling us about how she hates jet ski's.

 

 Officer Jet Ski Joe spots Sue T., alleged Jet Ski Hater on Skaneateles Lake. The subject appears to be feeling no pain, and may be disregarding local ordinances to stay outside 500' of every man, woman, child, and duck, algae, and leaf floating on the lake.

Sue T's jet ski hate-letter:

' I have to admit that I have been annoyed when I see people on jet skis zoom into shore at a high speed, totally disregarding swimmers, boats, etc. I have a camp on the other (wrong) side of the lake and have seen them go between the shore and our raft while we were in the water. However, I can't see totally banning them. We need to stress education on proper behavior when using these things.

 I know a family who have a couple of pwc's. Their kids have been taught to use these vehicles correctly. If they don't, they aren't allowed to use them for the rest of the summer. If the rich Skaneateles and summer people would spend more time teaching values to their children instead of buying them a bunch of things, maybe we wouldn't have problems like this. Also got to agree that the huge SUV's and vans people drive (usually with only one person in them) are doing more polluting than pwc's. '

Signed, Sue T.
