Dear Editor: I’m writing you this letter in hopes you will publish it. Maybe some of your readers will see my name and write to me. I’m in confinement at Lucas Ville, Ohio.

Waubee lake property owners established program
The board of directors and officers of the Waubee Lake Property Owners Association, Inc. met August 23 to initiate a lake management and maintenance program. The following programs were established with a board member or officer assigned to each program: A. Waste control B. Stream control C. Weed and algae control D. Water testing E. Police control F. Monetary funds G. Fish surveys H. Publicity Waste control will be concerned primarily with insuring that all septic systems meet state standards and are functioning properly. Stream control will be working with state and local agencies to make certain that water entering Waubee Lake by streams meets state standards, and that the outlet is kept free of debris. Water testing will work closely with the two above programs in identifying polluters and pollutants. Some preliminary water testing has been completed and initial results indicate that no doubt all septic systems should be checked. Plans are now being formulated as to the best method of accomplishing this examination. Weed and algae control has been given the task of keeping the association informed on the latest and best chemicals and methods available for controlling water weeds and algae. The duties of police control will involve the removal of floating debris from the lake, the identification of its source, and the prevention of further occurences. Other duties will include establishing a resident law officer to investigate water speeding, littering of water, and various other breaches of law. The monetary funds program has been assigned the promotion of collecting yearly dues and investigating the availability of local, state, and federal funds for maintaining public waters. Fish surveys has been asked to contact the state department of natural resources in an attempt to obtain the results of any recent surveys made by this department on Waubee Lake. Publicity has been assigned the

task of periodically informing the association members of the progress, accomplishments, and action being taken by the officers and board of directors. The water weed cutting and harvesting machine has been restored to good operating condition, and neighboring property owners are urged to group together in contacting Clarence Fike for weed cutting service. If the weeds on several adjoining properties can be cut at the same time and if property owners will work together in removing the weeds from the lake, the task can be made much easier and less time consuming. Current officers and board of directors are as follows: President — Steven A. Kaiser Vice president — Jim Stork Secretary-treasurer —
