Following is important plan ning information for the proposed use hearing: Amount of unappropriated revenue sharing funds in the local trust fund - $16,064.00 Amount of revenue sharing funds expected to be received during the upcoming fiscal year - $64,256.00 Nunda Township Board of Trustees Anita Sherwood, Supervisor Helen Milone, Town Clerk Dated 2-21-78 (Pub. Mar. 1,3,8,1978) Late Derby Notes A week after the derby, McCullom Lake was tested by the fishery biologist. It was determined there is only 4 p.p.m. of oxygen in the water. It is likely the lake is ex periencing some winter kill, how severe is not yet known. The heavy cover of ice and snow, lack of depth, contribute to the problem. Hopefully by next winter, there will have been enough dredging ac complished to prevent winter kill in the future. This condition points out the need and im portance of keeping the dredging program funded, and the dredge in operation. Auction A reminder, the McCullom Lake Conservation club is again co-sponsoring an auction, to be held Sunday, March 5, at tye McCullom Lake beach house on Orchard drive in McCullom Lake, starting at noon. All articles in good working order will be appreciated, and may be an outright donation or on consignment, (no clothing or mattresses please, state law). Articles may be brought to the beach house Sunday morning, March 5, pickup service for large items or loads can be arranged for on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4, by calling 385-8910. For persons wishing to help and support the dredging program on McCullom Lake, please be generous with donations, and attend and support these projects. All sale funds goib the dredge fund. As soon as the ice is gone from the lake the dredge program will again be under way, by sup porting these various projects help to insure funding is a must. A Repeat Shop and Share days at a local food store are coming up, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 21 and 22. (Just before Easter) The Conservation club was so pleased with the results and cooperation of Shop and Share days held in November, under the able supervision of Mrs. Charles (Joyce) Larson, that Joyce advises we will try again. More details and information next week. In the meantime all of you shoppers out there and start getting friends and neigh bors interested and aware of March 21-22. All monies will again go to the dredge fund for McCullom Lake. A Problem A problem, that is always difficult to solve again seems to be out of hand-dogs. It has been noted, too many dogs are being allowed to run loose, or being walked on McCullom Lake. Some of these dogs also go ashore and overrun private property. Dogs are not per mitted to be on McCullom Lake at any time, or on the beaches. Please confine your pets to your own property. Cookbook Good news: The McCullom Lake Conservation club cook books have arrived. For all you gals who donated recipes, and ordered books, you may con tact Mrs. Ed. (Harriet) Hammer, your cookbook is waiting for you. The cookbooks are worth the long wait, the dredged-up recipes sojjnd delicious, there is even a chuckle or two included. If a book was not ordered they may be purchased now while sup plies last, by contacting Harriett. To Mrs. Harriet Hammer, and Mrs. Joyce Larson, for a lot of time and effort spent getting this project under way and completed, the club appreciates their effort. A job well done. Proceeds from sale of cookbooks go to the dredge fund. Meeting Highlights The regular meeting of the Conservation club held Thursday, Feb. 16, was well attended and very interesting.
