We had a great time getting for Iowa Great Lakes Association!

SPIRIT LAKE – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will begin another phase of work on Center Lake this fall to improve habitat and water quality on the 257-acre lake southwest of Spirit Lake. Project partners began the restoration project in 2013 by installing a series of urban conservation practices including bio-swales, rain gardens and other low impact development practices in the watershed to slow rainwater and filter out sediments and nutrients. Other improvements on agricultural lands have been ongoing.

Two rock barriers were constructed earlier this year to block common carp from entering wetlands on the south side of the lake where carp typically spawn, helping to keep their numbers in check. Carp can have a severe impact in shallow lakes such as Center Lake and adjoining wetlands. Iowa DNR fisheries staff will conduct an enhanced analysis of the common carp population in the coming years to develop and implement reduction strategies. Plans for the current phase of the restoration project includes stabilizing more than 1,100 feet of shoreline along the north shore, constructing a permeable rock fish barrier between Center Lake and West Okoboji Lake to limit common carp entering the lake, and improvements to two wetlands between Center Lake and West Okoboji Lake to improve the water quality flowing to West Okoboji Lake.

Construction on all components will be completed by the fall of 2017. To facilitate and provide construction access to the steep shoreline work on the north side of Center Lake, project partners will attempt to temporarily lower the lake approximately one foot this fall. The lake will only be lowered long enough to complete the shoreline work. Past and ongoing work on Center Lake is being funded by the Iowa Lake Restoration Program, Okoboji Foundation, Dickinson County Water Quality Commission, Iowa DNR (EPA 319 Program), Center Lake Improvement and Protection Association, Iowa Watershed Improvement and Review Board, City of Spirit Lake, Lakes Regional Healthcare and Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The project has also been supported by the Okoboji Protective Association and the Iowa Great Lakes Association.

WHY WOULD YOU EVER USE A PRE-BUILT CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM!? If you are using Wordpress or another pre-built CMS for your website read this!

We built a custom content management system (The Tpanel) which can also be used as a people, resources, e-commerce, and calendar management system in tandem with the CMS.

The biggest problem with pre-built content management systems is you're breaking the abstraction that the particular CMS was build for. In other words, you're spending time, resources, and money to make a round peg fit in a square hole. You have the facade of extensibility, but in reality you are left with a site that's very bad in terms of architecture and that looks like something like Frankenstein's monster in the back-end. Which slows your site and can classify you as spam on Google.

Some of the benefits of the Tpanel:

- It offers most advanced analytics than Google analytics

- All your employee, resource, e-commerce, calendar, and contact data is all in one secure spot using the same code instead of 3rd parties that don't work well with each other

- Our easy to use interface has 100% satisfaction guarantee, if you don't like it we will change the layout for you ... for free

- The Tpanel allows you to create multiple users with different permissions which is something Wordpress doesn't let you do

- The Tpanel uses a flat file database system which means it is fast and lightweight on the server

- We use military grade security & encryption to guarantee your data

- With built in DDOS & rainbow table attack prevention it will keep your site running and safe

- Every Tpanel comes with a instant support chat that sends a text with your message directly to our phones for us to instantly respond

- 100% responsive design so you can manage data on your desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone

- Your Tpanel is 100% custom to you website and only one developer works on it meaning all the code works well with each other and there is no bloated code slowing down your website

To learn about all our benefits & how you can get the Tpanel for as low at $20 a year call/text us at 712-330-7918, email us, or message our social media pages!
