Time is now to winterize garden The main purpose behind laying down winter mulches is to keep the ground frozen for the entire season. Alternating freezing and thawing cycles of exposed soil can be very The (EXTENSION) People AMml destructive to roots and crowns of many plants. Not only can roots be broken or cracked due to soil heaving, but crowns and roots can quickly dry up when exposed to harsh winter winds or sunlight. A good snow cover all winter is an excellent natural mulch, but winter weather is too unpredictable to depend on this. Straw or marsh hay (salt hay) are good choices for winter mulches. Try to get them as weed-seed-free as possible to avoid future problems. Both of these materials are good choices because they do not readily mat down and smother plants. Anchor them well with boards, large branches, chicken wire, or other suitable materials to keep them in place. Leaves are another potential material for winter mulches, but most have the drawback of matting when wet. Evergreen branches, such as from used Christmas trees, are a good choice. These can be put down after a light snowfall or over existing straw or marsh hay mulches. Except for extremely tender or non-hardy plants, wait until the ground begins to freeze MCC to participate in community involvement day The Illinois Community Educa­ tion Association (ICEA) reports an increased need to share suc­ cessful citizen involvement models and make the public aware of what individuals can do to start their own successful ac­ tivities. To this end, and in conjunction with National Community Educa­ tion Day, the ICEA is sponsoring its first Project Showcase, to be held on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Arl­ ington Heights High School. Titled "Project Showcase: The Olympics of Involvement," the event is intended to promote and assist the development of quality citizen involvement programs in Illinois communitites. It is hoped that people^ institutions and organizations working together to improve educational, recreational and social services will improve the quality of life# in Illinois' neighborhoods and communities. The day has been organized so as to provide maximum exposure of successful citizen involvement projects, a means of exchanging Information and methodology that will increase the number and quality of citizen involvement pro­ jects and give recognition to com­ munity members' efforts in achieving their objectives. According to Jim Gray, MCC associate dean of instruction for community services and a board member of the ICEA, more than 20 projects from the McHenry area will be featured and both MCC and the Crystal Lake Park District will be presenting displays. Activities for the day will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. at Arlington Heights High School, located on Euclid Road, off Route 14. At 9 a.m., display projects will be opened to view. They will be organized by the following categories: utilizing community r e s o u r c e s ; h o m e - s c h o o l - community participation in plann­ ing and decision making; inter­ a g e n c y c o o p e r a t i o n a n d strengthening the home. Other features will include a street theatre presentation from Aunt Martha's at 9:30 a.m.; a talk by Dr. Arthur Jones, superinten­ dent of Forest Park's school district, at 11 a.m.; and a panel discussion on community involve­ ment at 2 p.m. The public is invited to attend the event. No advance registra­ tion is required and the only cost for the day is $3.50 for a box lunch. There is no fee for admission or materials. before applying winter mulches. Most perennial flowers and spring bulbs need four to six inches of mulch. Mulching will also protect root systems of shrubs and smaller shade trees from extremely deep freezing and the soilheaving problems. Keep mulches slightly away from trunks and stems, however, to avoid possible gnawing from mice. Strawberry beds should also be mulched in late fall for winter protection. Preparing lawns for winter is perhaps the easiest of all the various parts of the home land­ scape. The main thing to remember is to mow on a regular basis until the lawn is completely dormant. Mowing height may be lowered to two inches or slightly less to prevent matting of the turf, which provides cover for mice and may increase the chances of snowmold development.

"It taxes a campaign the size of ours a good six weexs to build momentum and begin generating signifiant results. Until results begin flowing steadily around mid-November, the overall direction of the campaign is always highly uncertain to our volunteer leadership." "Recognizing that both Warner and Claussen are established supporters of United Way, the sigmnantly increased results reported by each are a welcome early sign that our Used book sale The McHenry County College Ski Club will hold a used book salt at the college Monday and Tues­ day, Nov. 12 and 13, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. There will be hundreds of titles to choose from, dealing with a large variety of subjects.
