Just read an editorial in todays paper here in Havasu and was wondering what happened to Freedom? I think that the powers that be in Lake Havasu have forgotten about the word Freedom....The new ordinance related to the Channel will take effect on August 18th. The hum in the channel this last weekend is just exactly what will they do to the people in the channel...For example, if you are caught saying expletive words (even mumbling them) and a police officer hears these words you can be fined up to $2,500 or even receive a prison sentence....The verbage for the new ordiance goes like this...."prohibiting individuals who are intoxicated, and/or who are violent, seriously disruptive, unreasonably loud, or who utter abusive, obscene or offensive language, or engage in indecent exposure"....The word utter is really the important part of this concern...What happens if you stub your toe and say the "Shit" and a police officer hears that...you could, based on the ordiance be fined. I agree with some parts of this ordiance...but words can be presceived differently for those who our the powers that be? The weekend of August 18th should prove to be very interesting to all in the channel.
We met some great Nordic and Cobra folks this weekend and the parade's where fantastic. View this past Saturday Channel Shots:
