CONSERVATION CLUB NEWS The McCullom Lake Con­ servation club opened it's meeting at the McCullom Lake meeting hall. Spojnia, you lost out. There was a very good attendance to this very in­ formative meeting. The luck of the Irish was with us that night, Ed Hammer has found the solution to our lake problems. As was published recently on the front page of the Plaindealer, our state biologists have informed us of our almost complete fish kill, or winter kill. What this means is that there was not enough oxygen to support the life of our game fish. We have some small fish left in our lake, but no large game fish. Take a walk down to our beaches this spring and look at the piers that are out of the water. This summer will not be any better. The weathermen are calling for another drought year and the weeds will be multiplying more than usual. You ask what happened to last year's weeds? They are down at the bottom decaying and filling in the lake bottom. At this point with winter kills, it does not pay to restock the lake each year and the club cannot realize the cost of $7,000 for one year of chemical weed treatment. Also what are the effects of chemicals on our lake and our own bodies? Our lake needs three solutions, to deepen the lake, to remove the weeds, and to bring in fresh water. Mr. Hammer has located a dredge that will do all this and more. You ask the price? A mere $17,000. This cost is very small in comparison to the prices that the club has received in the past. Prices last year were upward of $50,000. This dredge would be pur­ chased and set into operation early this spring. It would be used to open a channel 25 feet wide by 12 feet deep. Afterward it will be deepened to 40 feet. This would be from the nor­ thwest side of the lake to the southwest side of the lake. Why this side? Because the lily pads are here for fish spawning and there are many springs that would be opened. Then at the end of summer the dredge would be used to aireate the lake, which would also prevent a "winter kill. The following summer there would be a diagonal channel cut up the middle of the lake to the dam. This would be 40 feet deep. Then swimming holes would be made at each of the beaches around the lake. If I have caught your in­ terest, come to the Lakeland Park Property Owners meeting March 27 at 2 p.m. Mr. Ham­ mer will give a presentation on our solutions. Do you value your property? What would happen to your property value if our lake turns into a swamp? The Con­ servation club can realize this dredge if each homeowner would pledge approximately $6 a year for the next three years. This would be asked of all homeowners in all subdivisions around the whole lake. The Conservation club can only undertake this project if the Lakeland Park Property Owners agree to allow this dredge on their property. We can only go ahead if we have their approval. Their approval is very important for the bank loan and starting of this project. The members who came and enjoyed Mr. Hammer's presentation were, Elmer Thorp, Delores Jaburek, Bill Mohlman, Ted Johnson, Brook Elliott, James Grutzmacher, Anthony and Cecilia Serritella, Harold and Audis Bowlin, Thomas MaGee, John and Sharon Gacek, Elmer Boeldt, Herb Hertage, Bill Buhrman, Bill Winkel, Dick Thennes, James Roth, Nick Tabor, Jim Thennes, Gene Huff, Harriet Hammer, William Scarlett of Oak Park, David Swauir and Robert Beckett, representing Lydia Children's home in Chicago. Mr. Hammer is a registered mining engineer. We hope all the association members will be at the association meeting.

CTTJCATIONAL On March 26, the Little Red Schoolhouse and Long John Slough will mark the first outdoor hike by the county Audubon society. This unique area began in 1886 when Little Red Schoolhouse was built to replace a one-room log cabin. In 1955 it was moved to the site in Willow Springs and opened its doors to present a fascinating story of the 3 R's about animals and plants. Peter Dring, head naturalist and president of the Illinois Audubon, will be guide for the day. The year 1977 has thus far been an active one for McHenry County Audubon. "From Seasons to Seasons", held Feb. 19, attracted over 100 people. Woodstock Opera House was the site of the next program George Harrison, field editor for National Wildlife magazine, was guest speaker and presented slides and a talk on "Invite Wildlife to your Backyard". This program, held March 20, was jointly spon­ sored with the McHenry County Defenders. The March 26 trip to Little Red Schoolhouse is only the beginning of a monthly series of events. On April 26, a visit to a glacial park conservation area is planned, with a guide to point out special geological features, unique vegetation and wildlife. Remember, children are welcome. See you there! CANDLE OCCASIONS Today, March 23, is a day of celebration for Bobby Hutt and Ron Nystrom.
