Sunset This meeting will be about the dredging of our lake and annexation of our beaches. As everyone knows, our lake needs help It needed help for a few years The problems have always been put off tem­ porarily for lack of funds. The cost of buying a dredge at $50,000 plus was always a dream that could not be realized The conservation club has a very hard working registered mining engineer. Ed Hammer, who is a professional, and has donated many hours finding a solution for our lake. He has found us a new dredge that is in our reach. The cost of the dredge is about $17,000. With this dredge we can deepen our lake, have a weed removal program, and hopefully open some springs. With Lakeland Park Property Owners approval the dredge could be purchased and hopefully in operation early this summer. But the Con­ servation club needs this ap­ proval for the bank loan and to start the project This drege would be used to open a channel 25 feet wide by 12 feet deep Afterward the channel would be deepened hopefully to 40 feet This would be from the northwest side to the southwest side of the lake. The reasoning for this is because the lily pads provide spawning and eating areas or shelters for the fish Theh at the end of summer, the dredge would be used to aerate the lake over the winter, which would prevent a winter kill. The following summer there would be a channel cut up the middle of the lake to the dam. Then swimming holes would be made at each of the beaches around the lake. The Conservation club has been to the other subdivisions and everyone is in agreement as to donations and pledges. These pledges would be about $6 per year for the next 3 years. These pledges would be asked of all homeowners in all sub­ divisions around the lake Chemical weed control would cost upward of $7,000 a year and this only lasts one year After three years it would cost us $21,000 or more and the lake would only be treated for 70 acres of~weeds and our lake is a 245 acres total So this is only a small amount in relation to the large amount of money that would be in­ vested Plus would you like to swim in chemicals? Don't forget our lake is very shallow and the fish would consume the chemicals and if we eat the fish we would also eat the chemicals. If you have questions on the dredge please read the next article and attend the Con­ servation meeting Please come to the special meeting and vote on the dredge. The board members are all in favor of the dredge but need your approval for the plans to go ahead. So come on out and show that you care about your lake. CONSERVATION CLUB NEWS The McCullom Lake Con­ servation club will hold its meeting this Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Lakeland Park com­ munity house. 1717 N. Sunset. Naturally the topic will tye the dredge. They will answer all your questions concerning the dredge and its operations. So if you have any questions or doubts please come to this meeting and get your answers. Results of the winter kill were that we mainly lost the large bass. Northerns did fairly well over the winter. One that was pulled out was 14 pounds and 39 incites long. He is back in the lake and waiting for all you eager fishermen to try for him. Don't forget you must return all Northern under 24 inches in length The Conservation club asks that you return all bass under 10 inches. The club also asks that all small perch and blue gills that are caught to be kept out of the lake, they are terrific garden fertilizer and make sure your roses get some to.Another hint, if you live on the lake or are at 1 the beach, walk out to the gravel area and stir up the blue IN YOUR GARDEN Harvest Now Vegetable transplants will get off to a fast start with a good starter fertilizer. Use a fertilizer high in phosphorus and completely soluble in water such as 10-52-17. Other high- phosphorus, water-soluble fertilizers available at garden centers are also satisfactory. Mix about two tablespoons of the water-soluble fertilizer in a gallon of water and place one cup of the solution around the roots of each transplant. If no starter fertilizer is available, mix a cup"M 0-45-0 or a similar fertilizer with twelve quarts of water. Stir the mixture to keep the fertilizer from settling Place one cup of the solution around the roots of each transplant. Water-soluble fertilizers have greater initial availability and contain lower levels of harmful salts, however. Supplemental phosphorus is essential for root development of transplants when they are moved to cool soils. Water- gill nests that are made in the gravel. Hope to see you at these two very important meetings! soluble fertilizers are usually too expensive for general use and are for special uses only. Asparagus and early radishes are ready for harvest now. Harvest asparagus the third year after planting. But avoid harvesting more than one month during that season. Excessive removal of spears during the first harvest will damage plants. Harvest spears five to eight inches in length by cutting or snapping. To cut a spear, run a knife under the ground where the spear has emerged. Because the spear is cut below the point of fiber development, it is necessary to snap the stem before using. Take care when cutting asparagus not to damage spear tips that have not emerged. To snap asparagus, bend it from the top toward the ground. The spear will break at the point where there is no fiber. Because asparagus looses quality rapidly after harvest, process or refrigerate it im­ mediately. A loose head on an asparagus spear does not mean that the asparagus is unfit or unsafe to eat. Hot weather causes early development of stems and ferns that produces a loose head. If asparagus freezes in the McHenry ^ Walgreen Agency "YOUR PRESCRIPTION HEADQUARTERS" 1327 N.

It's not the size,but the length of the growing period that gives radishes a hot taste. Hot radishes either grow too slowly, or are too old. Radishes are a cool-season, fast-maturing vegetable. They usually grow best in the spring, but some late-maturing varieties can be planted for summer use Radishes grow well in almost any soil that is well-tilled and fertilized and has adequate moisture. To save on garden space, plant radishes between slow-maturing vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers or brussel sprouts. Harvest the radishes before other vegetables will compete with the radishes. Pull radishes when they are about one to one and one-half inches in diameter and relatively young. Radishes remain edible for only a short time before they become pithy or spongy and hot. Local League Of Women Voters Attends Meeting An "action biennium" has been declared by the League of Women Voters of Illinois, ac­ cording to Sandra Millius, president, the League of Women Voters of Woodstock- McHenry. Mrs. Millius headed the local league delegation to the biennial convention of the State league. The convention ended recently at the Ramada Con­ vention center. Champaign, after three days of deliberations. During the "action bien­ nium" of 1977-79, the state and local leagues in Illinois will work intensively in political arenas-state, county, and c o m m u n i t y -- o n o f f i c i a l program items decided by the convention. Targets identified during the convention by the Illinois State league are: -School finance: support of a public school finance system that achieves greater equity for student and taxpayer without diminishing local control of program and budget. -Land use: support of a statewide land use policy for Illinois. -Child welfare and juvenile justice: support of improved services of Illinois state agencies serving children and their families. -State fiscal policies: sup­ port for state fiscal policies that ensure equity for taxpayers, provide adequate funds to support state and local ser­ vices. and encourage sound land use decisions. -Corrections: support of i m p r o v e d c o r r e c t i o n a l procedures in Illinois. Other items of League in­ terest, such as concern for local government which are not continued as State league priorities, will be followed through, as appropriate, on the local level. Recipient of a first League of Women Voters of Illinois "Distinguished Public Service award" was Carolyn Chapman, B e l l e v i l l e , w h o w a s i n ­ strumental in uncovering voting frauds in the area. To lead the League of Women Voters of Illinois during the "action biennium," the delegates chose Janet Otwell, Evanston, as president. She succeeds Donna Schiller, Highland Park. Other principal officers are three vice presidents: gloria Craven, Springfield; Binnie Lang, Wilmette; and Dorothy O'Neill, Champaign.
