 Welk writes in his monthly update to residents, quote, Under Minnesota law, the damage your wake causes are treated the same as damage caused by an actual collision. Personal watercraft must stay at least 150 feet from shore. There is no required distance for boats, but by staying at least 200 feet from shore or other structures, boaters can reduce the likelihood their wakes will cause damage to shorelines, docks, lifts, and other private property. End quote. The Walker Hackensack Akeley School Board is looking for a new high school principal.
