PRESIDENT’S COLUMN
Hello fellow members. As I'm writing my column
today it is snowing and I am growing weary of
winter... COMEON SPRING...
With winter comes Ice fishing and those that
attended the Ice Is Nice tournament had a great time ...
as always. Thanks go out to all the people that helped
with the event to make it a success... There are too
many members to list everyone.
The Winter Woodswalk
black powder shoots are still
going on - dates are Feb 7th,
Mar 7th, and April 4th, the
cost is $8.
We also hosted the winter
Horseshoes Tournament on
Jan 31st what a hearty bunch
of members we have around
here. They don't let cold and
snow get in the way of fun
I hope that you came out to the club for the Super
Bowl party this year. We had 2 big screens TV's to
raffle off. Thank you Andy Willets for the great party.
Make plans to come out to the St. Patty's day
dinner of corned beef and cabbage. It will be right
before the entertainment night impersonators. Come
for the dinner and then enjoy the music - $20 for
both...What a deal!
February 8th at the MLCA Swap Day many great
items were there to be had. I know, I bought a few
and will make good use of them.
March 21st we are having a CPL class $75 for
members $125 for non members. Please sign up
EARLY.

The Birds of Multi-Lakes - The Mute Swan
Another large white bird that frequents Reed Lake each summer is the Mute Swan. This past year we
had a pair of these birds with two baby "cygnets".
Mute Swan
Trumpeter Swan
Mute swans are among our largest birds averaging 20-25 pounds with a wing span of nearly 7 feet.
Both sexes have a black face patch with a fleshy knob on the forehead that overlays an orange bill.
The Trumpeter Swan, a rarer species in our area, has an all black bill.
These birds are not really mute - they, grunt, snort, or hiss to communicate, especially if threatened.
Their diet consists of submerged aquatic vegetation and they can consume 4-8 pounds of plants daily.
In early June, Mute Swans lay an average of 6 eggs at a rate of one egg per day. The eggs hatch 35
days after the last egg is laid.
During the nesting and brood rearing-periods mute swans are very territorial. Both males and females
are aggressive toward people and other waterfowl within their nesting area. Sometimes their behavior
is so aggressive that they will drive other waterfowl out of areas and reports of swan attacks on people,
especially small children and users of personal watercraft, are common. Some communities have
programs in place to eliminate Mute Swans from their waterways.

The Winter Skeet & Trap
League is having a great
season with over 60
shooters!!!
A recent Thursday evening
was designated as “Hat
Night”, which only partially
explains some of the oddities
seen in a couple of these
shots. 
At the time the top right
picture was taken, no one
noticed anything unusual, but
later someone pointed out
the “flameout” seen in the
enlargement.
The shell is ejecting
normally, the gun continues
to function normally, but the
flames have everyone
scratching their heads.

My Multi-Lakes
W
Donn E. Green, CWO, USN, RET
here do I begin? How can I tell you? Well, let
me preface my humble story with a little
information that will help you understand where
I am coming from. I am not a Multi-Lakes member nor
have I ever been. This is as much about Michigan United
Conservation Clubs and the Michigan way of life as it is
about Multi-Lakes. The time frames, events, and people I
talk about will be for information and reference more than
for accuracy. My mom and dad both worked and were
not involved in clubs of any nature until after I left home
to join the military after graduation from Walled Lake H.S.
I grew up across from Dodge Park V in Log Cabin
Beach on Commerce Lake during the forties and fifties. I
began coming to Multi-Lakes in the very early fifties to
fish Reed Lake and to be around the club for working
bees. I became a Junior Member and participated in many
events, matches, etc. There was always work to be done in
the early years and there were always many volunteers. It
was not uncommon to be waist deep in water helping put
the dock out each spring and be rubbing elbows with the
club president and not knowing it. It seemed like there
was always a clean up or working-bee of some sort going
on and many times we would go out and plant seedlings
on the property or just clean the club grounds. I do not
remember a lot about these early years except that every
man I met there treated me, like his own son and I don't
ever remember being asked who my dad was or if he was a
member. I was truly taken under many wings and
mentored everywhere I went, in every thing I did there;
they became like family.
My folks were friends with the Smale and Graycheck
family's who were related to Roy Styles and we always
tried to make the annual family picnic that Roy was
involved in for numerous years. These picnics were huge,
with games and competition for the children all over the
grounds down by the lake. There were horseshoe
tournaments and some very good pitchers that were club
members. My dad and I were very good at pitching
horseshoes and one of the highlights of the picnics for us
was getting in the tournament. This is where I first met
Detroit Tigers great, Dizzy Trout and his son who would
come out for the picnics and play horseshoes as well, and
the four of us would often play father and son doubles
against one another.
During the mid fifties, Multi-Lakes hosted Michigan
Outdoorama and it would draw competitors from
neighboring states as well and was a big event. One of the
club members, Arnold Rahn, a long time bar tender and
friend of the children encouraged me to compete in the
first one. He knew I was an avid fisherman and
told me to come over and get into the casting
14
competitions. I entered the "dry fly", "wet fly" fly-casting
competitions, and the “3/8 oz” and “5/8oz” plug casting
competitions. I had no idea what the competitions were all
about, the rules or anything.
I walked from home the first day of the first
Outdoorama and was just hanging around the dock when
a smallish red haired gentleman came up to me and began
talking to me and about the competition. He explained
the competitions to me and helped me rig my fly outfit for
the competition and gave me a few of the hook-less flies
needed for the competition. He took me out and showed
me how to cast into the 5 casting rings and how the
competition was scored. The championship was set up
for Class A and B for men and Class C for women and
children under 15 years of age.
That first year I took first place in three of the four
events I entered in Class C and second in the fourth. I saw
this gentleman that was so gracious to me giving casting
demonstrations up by the clubhouse later in the day and
then the next day during the awards ceremonies in the
clubhouse. I believe he won one or both Class A flycasting championships and when he was introduced I
learned that he was also the many-time world fly-casting
champion, Ben Hardesty. This gentleman later became a
vice president for the Shakespeare Company and we kept
in distant touch with one another. The president of the
club for this Outdoorama was Ray Chabot who presented
me with my plaques that I still have today and am still very
proud of. Unlike the commercial venue of today's
Outdoorama, this event was primarily competition and
exhibition held at one of Michigan's conservation clubs.
There were a handful of us that began a slingshot
group in the latter fifties. I cannot remember the member
names but Karl Kovak, Mr. Brown, about 6 other men
and a couple of women were the first members of the
club. The first couple of meetings were in the small bore
range but due to conflicts with small-bore competitions,
we were forced into the clubhouse. The first night we
shot in the clubhouse we stretched one tarp for a
backdrop against the East wall. This meeting didn't last
too long because Mr. Brown and myself were putting our
steel bearings through the tarp into the wood walls.
Weldon Payne, the club President at the time frowned
upon that and asked that we come up with a better
mousetrap so we went to two tarps the following week.
I have not shot slingshot since I left the club and have
not followed the sport or what it has become today. The
slingshots we used back then were made of metal (not sure
of what kind) with two cut slots in them and we could buy
them though the club. We used two flat, thin rubber
strips and a leather pouch with two holes in the ends with
the slingshot. The pouch was secured to the bands with
small pieces of round rubber bands, wrapped and tied off.
