PUNCH LINE Apathy A very disappointed Mrs. Charles (Joyce) Larson, in charge of Shop and Share days held March 21-22, reports that effort netted the Conservation club $79.18. There were 1,000 cards distributed, only fifty- eight cards used in all, thirty - nine from the McHenry area. The club appreciates the efforts of those who did go out and shop and participate. The money has been deposited in the dredge fund. April Meeting The April 20 meeting of the McCullom Lake Conservation club was held at Spojnia camp. Reports on dredging, proposed by-law changes, election, lake management, lake bottom control, plus regular business, provided an interesting and informative meeting. President Jerry Raycraft advises the Conservation club now has two full time CETA employees, to work on the dredging and related projects. Also, the fishery biologist is due any day now to shock the lake to determine how much of the fish population survived the winter­ kill. The club is quite active these days, and would like more people to attend meetings and become involved. Next meeting is May 18, Lakeland Park Community house, 1717 N. Sunset avenue, 8 p.m. Could Use Help Would you like to volunteer some time helping with dredging? Anyone having free time and can help, please give Bill Winkel a call, he will ap­ preciate hearing from you. McCullom Lake History Part 5 Last week, in part 4, we examined recommendations of various agencies, and experts in their field, regarding problems of McCullom Lake and their possible solutions. This week, some of the ac­ tions taken as a result of these recommendations. The most recommended solution is "more depth" (dredging). The problems confronting people and organizations in im­ plementing a good dredging program are not simple. Along with dredging, environmental, pollution, additional water supply, preservation of watershed and drainage areas must also be considered, if long term solutions are to be realized. Recognizing dredging to be the best of possible solutions, how can financing be arranged for such an ambitious program? Should the lake be opened to the public, making it possible to qualify for federal- state funds, or should the lake remain private, and finance improvements by homeowners and organization pledges and donations? Further examination of facts raises the question, should dredging come first? Or should pollution, weed, silting, and other problems be solved first? Another consideration, who will take responsibility for im­ plementing these important programs. Most of the years of 1975-76 were devoted to discussion, fact finding, getting advice and recommendations. Most everyone could agree, the ideal lake program would attack the pollution, weed and en­ vironmental problems first. However, dredging would provide needed depth to prevent future winter-kill, control some of the weed problems, without introducing more chemicals into the lake, provide better swimming and recreational use of the lake. After much debate, a program for lake management and dredging began to take form. The possibility of getting federal and-or state funding i was researched. Unless the ™ lake becomes a public lake no funds could be made available. This raises an important question. Should, or can, Mc­ Cullom Lake remain private? Federal or state grants could provide funds for needed studies on watershed, pollution, dredging, and related problems. On the other hand, problems would be created, all beaches would need sanitary facilities, lifeguards, etc., which would be costly. Annexation and ownership of some beaches would also be involved, as well as lake patrol. Even though funding could be obtained, it seemed unlikely these funds would actually be received for at least two years. The desire to have the lake remain private prompted the McCullom Lake Conservation club to start planning for a dredge program. Such problems as decreasing water supply, pollution, weeds, would have to be addressed while and after dredging was in progress. In the late winter of 1976 and early spring of 1977, a local engineer, Ed Hammer, presented a possible five-year dredging prOgram to the Conservation club. As a result, Hammer was authorized to prepare a complete dredging package for McCullom Lake. The proposed dredging program, and recom­ mendations of Hammer will be the subject for the next and final article in this series.

Relay Loans For Farm Storage Facilities Now Available "LIGHT POEMS" A free exhibit of black and white photographs by Weg Thomas of McHenry entitled "Light Poems" will be shown at the Woodstock Opera House daily through Wednesday, May 31. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland has announced the latest step in a program to help farmers build needed storage facilities on their farms. Farmers may now obtain Commodity Credit corporation (CCC) loans to build high- moisture forage and silage storage structures and for remodeling existing storage structures. Previously, loans were available only for con­ struction of new facilities for high-moisture grain or grain silage and dry grain. Ray Fitzgerald, ad­ ministrator of U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation service (ASCS), said this action will be of particular benefit to dairymen and livestock producers with storage facilities that need modification and remodeling to increase capacity and ef­ ficiency. During the past year, farm facility loan provisions have been broadened and liberalized to help achieve the goals of the price support and farmer- owned grain reserve programs. Eligible producers may borrow up to 85 percent of the cost of buying and installing storage facilities and drying equip­ ment, including concrete and wiring costs. The loan limit for this use was increased last year to $50,000 from $25,000. Other changes made in the past year allowed storage needs to be based on two years' production rather than one; permitted storage capacity used for the grain reserve program to be excluded in determining need; reduced down payments required of farmers from 30 percent, to 15 percent; reduced interest rates on loans from 7.5 percent to 7 percent; and lengthened the repayment period of new loans from five years to eight years. As a result, Mr. Fitzgerald said loan activity has greatly increased. During 1977, 53,565 loans were made totaling $412.3 million to build structures with storage capacity of 513.3 million bushels. During 1976, 10,816 loans were made, totaling $55.6 million, for storage capacity of 79.1 million bushels. Additional information about the farm facility loan program and its eligibility requirements may be obtained from ASCS county offices.

This is compared to a no hit game, fifty points in a basketball game, or over 200 yds rushing in football. It doesn't come often. Whrtey also broke his own 200 freestyle record. Pat Murray set a soph record in the 200 I.M., and Mark Betancourt a soph record in the 50 freestyle.
