Why join the LMPO?
Here is what your dues provide
1. BUOYS -We have about 30 buoys throughout the lake. (replacing 8 this year.) Take them out each fall, clean, repair, replace as needed and again put them out each summer. (Also the insurance and upkeep of the LMPO pontoon boat used.)
2. DAM - We pay taxes, maintenance and inspection (inspection was $1400 in 2022) for the dam property. 3. MAPS - We purchase lake maps for the membership every 5 years, and we distribute complimentary copies of the lake directory to dues paying members. 4. LAKE QUALITY - We also test multiple sites around the lake for coliform bacteria, and we pay for of the dam. We have funds earmarked for fish cribs, but progress has been limited by the DNR’s restrictive permitting. 5. SPECIAL PROJECTS - We also support special projects that benefit the community. We purchased the dock for the Michigamme Township Park and in 2022 we donated $1400 toward a modern sound system for the Township Hall’s gymnasium. We regularly donate to the July 4th Committee and the museum’s annual fundraisers. 6. MICHIGAMME MESSENGER - This is the yearly newsletter that was given out at the annual meeting. We unfortunately have had difficulty resurrecting the Michigamme Messenger. Any Volunteers? 7. ANNUAL MEETING- Last, but certainly important. The donuts, hot dogs and chicken for the meeting. Animal Spring FeedingMARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - Spring is slowly making its way to the U.P., and with it comes new animal activity.
The DNR says most issues you will encounter are likely due to food. They urge you to use caution if you have been feeding the birds this spring. The department advises bringing in bird feeders and any pet food stored outside. The department also advises against feeding deer at this time of year. “Once the snow really starts to go we really urge people to put those bird feeders away,” said Brian Roell, DNR wildlife biologist. “They are just a huge attractant of bears. Bears come out of the den and they’re hungry and they’re looking for an easy food source and black oil sunflower seeds are nutritious and obviously delicious to them.” DNR staff also encourage people to be mindful of new deer activity while driving, especially in areas of melted snow. Have fun and make Michigamme look special!
