The Lake Zoar Authority Marine Patrol has started carrying out spot checks on the sandbar.  Last month there was a disturbance between two people who are known to frequent the area.  The Authority says the parties reported closure to the incident and there was no further safety risk.  But Police presence on and near the sandbar will continue going forward. The Marine Patrol of the Lake Zoar Authority has also been doing spot checks at the state boat launch ramp to inspect every boat coming in for compliance.  At least 54 boats were inspected, 12 of which were turned away for being unsafe. There will be another spot check at the state boat launch in the coming weeks.
