New Milford officials took to the sky yesterday to tour waterways via helicopter in preparation of this summer.  Mayor Pete Bass says with inland state park beaches closed for the summer, local officials are fine tuning plans to ensure waterways remain safe. As the Housatonic River, depending on the area, can be dangerous with swift under currents Bass says it's imperative to protect those that enjoy the river and first responders who will be responsible for emergency services if someone is in need on the river.  There will be continued patrols of the areas of Gaylordsville, Youngsfield, Pickett District, Bleachery Dam, Gorge Area, inland streams.
