PAGE 6 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29. 1978_ States To Get Additional $49.5 Million In Federal Wildlife Aid Over $49~million in Federal Aid funds for sport fish and wildlife restoration and hunter safety programs has been apportioned for distribution by Secretary of the Interior Cecil D. Andrus. This brings to $87.2 million the amount made available to the states this fiscal year by the federal government. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser­ vice Director Lynn A. Greenwalt said these funds will be used by the states and governments of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa to finance fish and wildlife programs. Of the total funds available, $62.9 million is for wildlife restoration and $24.3 million is for fish restoration. Federal Aid funds are made available to the states in two apportionments annually as tax receipts become available at i#the Treasury department. This year a preliminary ap­ portionment of $37.7 million was made on Oct. 3, 1977, for fiscal year 1978. The second apportionment, announced today, represents an additional $49.5 million. Funds From Excise Tax > Funds for wildlife restoration and hunter safety programs come from an 11 percent excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition, a 10 percent tax on pistols and revolvers, and an 11 percent tax on certain ar­ chery equipment. Distribution of wildlife restoration funds is based on a formula which takes into account the number of hunting license holders and the area of each state. These funds may be used on approved state wildlife projects such as the acquisition of land suitable for habitat, development and management of habitat, and research to aid in managing game species. pMcHenry High Athletes : A waiting Better Weather With the recent snowfall over the weekend, a damper has been put on the McHenry high school athletic program for this spring. Just when it looked as if the athletes were going to get some outdoor workouts, up popped the snowfall. However, if the weather does prevail Gary Gray's tennis team will open the home season tomorrow against Lake Zurich. §jKen Swanson's diamond crew s has yet to venture out of the gym, and a doubleheader is ahead of them for Saturday. Don Boland's thinclads hope to entertain Wauconda here on Monday, and on the same day the girls track team journeys to Crown to take on the host Vikings and Lake Forest. Next week finds the girls Softball team at Grant, while the girls badminton team plays host to Zion. The badminton team along with Mike Shanahan's swimmers who travel to Maine North have no weather worries, unless of course a freak accident occurs and that is doubtful. So one of these days the weather is bound to break for the good. Then at that time the entire athletic program at the high school will be in full swing, and you fans will have numerous choices to attend one of many events taking place. orth Park ollege asketball ALMAY For North Park college {enior forward and team paptain A1 May there were two loments last Saturday night in Rock Island, 111., that he will remember the rest of his life. The first came with 3 :26 to go in the national championship game with Widener and the vikings leading 64 to 46. Coach Dan McCarrell put a guard into the game for A1 so the Vikes could run their delay game better. The £,000 North Park fans in the record crowd of 2,800 went berserk when May shot arms in the air and signaled to the * crowd, "We're number one." The second moment came at the close of the game when A1 May, the unsung hero of many of North Park's 21-straight victories, went to center court and as team captain accepted the national championship trophy from Ralph McFillen of the NCAA office. For May, a 6-5 graduate of Marian Central Catholic high school in Woodstock, and a native of McHenry, the Vikings' 69 to 57 triumph over Widener in the championship finale was a fitting climax to a tremen­ dous career. Since joining the Vikings' varsity as a regular midway Jhrough his freshman year May and North Park have won 71 games while losing only 26. During that span he scored 608 OPENING MARCH 31st! $/FAIRWAY INN AT PISTAKEE COUNTRY CLUB YOUR HOSTS: Barbara Walters ft Alice Lenz OPEN YEAR ROUND SERVING: • Lunch • Dinner 7 Days a Week!

The states, however, may also use these funds for wildlife restoration projects. Fish restoration funds come from a 10 percent excise tax on fishing rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits, lures, and flies. Distribution of the funds is made according to a formula based on the number of fishing license holders and the area of each state, including coastal and Great Lakes waters. Ac­ tivities performed by the states include the purchase of land and water areas, construction and rehabilitation of lakes, development of access sites and facilities for fishermen, and research to aid in management of sport fisheries. points, 20th highest ever at the northside Chicago school. He set a career record at North Park for fieldgoal percentage, hitting 238 of 444 shots, for a 53.6 percent career mark. He played in 98 games as a Viking which is third highest, his 728 career rebounds is the fourth best mark. Along the way to setting his field goal per­ centage mark he had three of the top six seasons ever in that category at North Park (.571 in 1976 is 1st; .543 in 1978 is 3rd; and .528 in 1977 is 6th). This season he had highs of 19 points in a 98 to 87 win at Knox college, and three times he had 11 rebounds in a game, against Carroll twice, and against Knox. His career highs both came in 1976 with 22 points versus Illinois Wesleyan and 21 rebounds versus Aurora. . "A1 May deserves a lot of credit for the leadership he gave the team this year as captain," says Viking coach Dan McCarrell. "A1 never stopped hustling in four years and his hustle and desire just had to rub off on his team­ mates. It's contagious. Our 29 and 2 record, the nation's longest winning streak at 21 games, a conference cham­ pionship and a national championship, these are memories A1 May will have to be proud of the rest of his life." » * • • The reason some peo­ ple don't stick to the truth is that such a policy would eliminate a lot of conver­ sation. It is time again to scratch around for something to fill a column. Have been putting it off all day. Now it is Sunday night with sleepy eyes starting to droop. It is also the heel of an Easter Sunday, a joyous day about to fade away for another year. Just to get out of the house which we are always happy to return to, we took a spin (as my mother used to say) around the town and found a peaceful, quiet atmosphere prevailing. In a few short hours, the wheels will start turning and McHenry will be buzzing. The Easter bunny has picked up his basket and quietly hopped away. Referring to the bunny as a "him", a little child corrected me with, "You should say her -- Hims don't lay eggs". Him, her or it didn't plan on a white Easter. The importance of making free throws in a basketball game was never more pronounced than in Duke's 4- point victory over Notre Dame. The fine Duke team made 32 out of 35 attempts from the line. Of course, Notre Dame couldn't put it all together in the early stages of the game. Duke set up a zone defense that stopped the cold shooting Irish. Kentucky showed Arkansas they are the best, unless Duke has different ideas. Sorry to read about the ugly head of poor sportsmanship showing up in the Arkansas cheering section. Some unkind cheers went up when Kentucky players approached the free throw line. Words won't kill you. But, somebody could get killed when a beer soaked brave guy throws a bottle onto a football field or baseball diamond. Booster Club Pancake Breakfast Sunday, April 2 The McHenry high school Booster club will hold a pan­ cake breakfast on Sunday, April 2 at the American Legion home on Ringwood road. Time is from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Proceeds will go to aid the athletic program at the high school. Work In Europe Program Offered For Students Hundreds of U.S. students will find jobs in France, Ireland and Great Britain this summer through the Work in Europe program sponsored by the Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE). For the past nine years, this popular program has provided students with the direct experience of living and working in another country and, at the same time, helped them reduce the cost of their trip abroad. The Work in Europe program virtually eliminates the red tape that students faced in the past when they wanted to work abroad. Participants must find their own jobs but will have the help of cooperating student travel organizations in each country. In France they may work during the summer; in Great LAKE REGION YMCA NEWS The brave guy should be put in a small room with his in­ tended victim, the door locked from the outside and key lost for a while. Seemed like everybody knew everybody else at the Longhorn one recent evening and it was fun .,. John Corso, one of McHenry's finest, came over to say hello. It was a high spot in the evening for us. It is so nice when young people remember you. John attended Ripon college and stayed there after graduation. Among his other duties, he is coaching football. He was a fine high school and college athlete and still looks in the pink. The Booster club, with a flock of enthusiastic members will serve a pancake breakfast next Sunday at the American Legion home. This group is out to aid the athletic program at our high school. They are on the ball. So -- let's eat pancakes and boost the Boosters. Hope you will read separate story on A1 May, former Marian Central athlete. Al, a senior at North Park college, was captain of the basketball team that won the Division Three National Basketball championship. The team had a visit to Chicago's City hall where Mayor Bilandic presented a trophy and proclamation designating Monday, March 20, as "North Park College Basketball Team Day in the City of Chicago". More than that -- the team had lunch with the Mayor. Congratulations, Al, on a fine athletic career. We like the story going round that everybody has a cure for your cold except your doctor. My prescription is to feed a cold and starve a fever And, I never have a fever Britain they may work at any time of the year for up to six months; in Ireland they may work at any time of the year for up to four months. The jobs are usually un­ skilled - in factories, depart­ ment stores, hotels, etc. Salaries are low, but students generally earn enough to pay for their room and board while they work. A typical job would be that of chambermaid in a hotel in London's West end. But last summer one enterprising student found work as an ap­ prentice jockey for one of Ireland's racing stables. To qualify for CIEE's program, students must be between the ages of 18 and 30 and must be able to prove their student status. To work in France, they must also be able On March 11 and 12 thirty- eight members of the Piranha's swim team of Lake Region YMCA competed in the Illinois Area YMCA Swim . cham­ pionships in Peoria, Gail and Glenna Gosch of the McHenry area were members of a medley relay team with Chris DeVine and Tammy Sharp which placed eleventh.

REGULAR MEETING The next regular meeting of the McCullom Lake Con­ servation club will be held April 20 at 8 p.m., Spojnia camp, 2500 N. Spojnia road. McCULLOM LAKE (Part I) This will be the first of a series of articles on McCullom Lake's early history, present programs, and future goals. McCullom Lake, located one mile northwest of McHenry, was named after William McCullom, who came to McHenry from Virginia in 1837. William and brothers, John and David, settled on the West shore of McCullom Lake. William and wife, Catherine, were parents of six children. William died June 1,1884, at the age of 83. In the early history of Mc­ Cullom Lake, it was known as McCullom Slough, being for­ med for the most part by ground water seepage and springs, being shallow and marshy. In 1890, this 245-acre slough was dammed up, a dam being constructed on what is now known as the Herman Mass property, bounded by the Chicago and North Western railroad tracks. The dam constructed was 4 feet high, with a 2' 2-foot concrete lip drop box spillway. Since that time, it has been known as McCullom Lake. It is a 245-acre lake, with a maximum depth of 9 feet, an average depth of 4 feet, a shoreline of 15,700 feet of 2.9 miles, a watershed of 768 acres. Topography is gently rolling soils, variable, glaciated area. McCullom Lake bottom is owned by Lakeland Park Property Owners association, and other individual owners around the lake. From the beginning, to the present, McCullom Lake has been a private lake. In the early years, McCullom Lake was shallow and marshy. Then in the 1940's a private owner, who owned the present Herman Mass property, dredged the northeast end of the lake to a depth of 8 to 10 feet. Management and im­ provements of the lake during this period were undertaken by various private owners and groups, working to improve the lake, including the McCullom ONE DAY INCOME TAX SERVICE CALL 385-4410 for appointment Lake Hunting club, which is still in existence today, but no longer connected with Mc­ Cullom Lake. The problems of insufficient depth, murky (turbid) water, undesirable species of fishes, lack of funds and proper m a n a g e m e n t , m a d e homeowners and groups around the lake aware that an effective lake management program was needed. In 1952, Bruce Muench, the area fishery biologist of the Illinois Department of Conservation, became actively involved to study the lake problems, and recommend future steps to be taken to solve some of the problems of McCullom Lake NEXT WEEK Next week, Muench's recommendations will be the subject for the continuing series on McCullom Lake. The purpose of this series, of articles is to inform, create interest, hopefully seekpeopl4 to become interested in helping and understand the problems of McCullom Lake. Does anyone have a bit of history, facts, or perhaps a humorous story, about the lake they can share" If so, please contact your columnist, she will be glad to include any information in the articles.
