The lake doesn't belong to any one group. And, no one group should have to suffer at the expense of the other.

Children need to be safe on ALL lakes. If a cowboy mentality exists, you take whatever steps are required to control it.
Are you suggesting that children's camps and performance boats can't exist on the same area of the lake at the same time? If so then it is the performence boats that have to go. PERIOD!
The entire lake is BY LAW available to children's camps. The camps own considerable waterfront property and have every right to use the lake. They are also the "literal owners" of the lake area adjacent to the property they own. Suggesting that camps should be banned from parts of the lake is outrageous and indefensible. I will assume you made that comment without thinking it through.
