    • Longtime islander follows lake's ups and downs  -- Larry Havens has a homemade chart documenting the ups and downs of Lake St. Clair since 1935, spread out on an old metal bench at Delta Hardware on Harsens Island.  He traces the lake's swings with a finger work-roughened from a lifetime of driving sheet piling and building docks and seawalls.  "They used to say there was a seven-year cycle, but that's not true at all," said Havens, a longtime Harsens Island resident and a retired marine contractor.  "Bottom line is precipitation."  That squares with what Keith Kompoltowicz, a meteorologist for the United States Army Corps of Engineers, is seeing.  "The largest factor in all of the Great Lakes in terms of water levels is the changes in the weather patterns and the changes in the hydrologic cycle -- the movement of water in the system, how much is coming in through snow and rain, how much is leaving through evaporation and through the normal outflow of a lake," Kompoltowicz said.
