Camp Clayville Gets State & Fed OK







4-H Camp Clayville gets go-ahead from state and federal agencies to open.



Campers and parents were delighted to learn that Leechers Lake got the all-clear from both hazardous waste agencies--a first in the Lake's history. In the past, Leechers Lake has produced higher-than-acceptable levels of PCBs and Kepone.

Ed Houser, who has overseen the management of the lake for thirty-five years, maintains that the lake is safe "as long as the kids don't dive too deep and disturb the bottom mud." When asked about eating the fish caught in the Lake, Houser said that most of the fish stay close to the surface and should be fine for eating.
