Special Olympians To Finals CrCMe'S HOfH© Soved Clients of the Northern Illinois Special Recreation association and the Pioneer Center for the Exceptional are shown here as they practice for the semi-finals held May 31 in Aurora. The winners will go to the finals held in Bloomington, June 29-30 and July 1. One would never think that United Way agencies in McHenry County would ever be involved in Special Olympics. Well, two of them are: The Northern Illinois Special Recreation association 'NISRA) and The McHenry County association for the Retarded. Their young clients worked hard through two workshops and five practices to prepare themselves for the state Special Olympics held in Aurora May 31. More than 400 competitors, representing five counties throughout the state will participate and the gold medal winners will go to the finals at Illinois State University in Bloomington, 111., June 29-30 and July 1st. Forty three contestants were from McHenry County. Their participation is a co-operative effort by NISRA and McHenry County association for the Retarded, both organizations are members of the United Way of McHenry county. A total of eight coaches under the direction of NISRA program supervisor, Maryanne Zinke are presently readying their eager charges for such events as the 50 yard dash.

June 1,1979) v- relays, standing long jump and the Softball throw. The McHenry County association for the Retarded is the prime sponsor for programs operated at Pioneer Center for the Exceptional. This organization is a training center designed to offer training and placement, sheltered employment and mental health that involves family and community responsibility on the part of the client enrolled in the program. NISRA is a cooperative of four park districts that have joined together for the purpose of serving persons with special needs. They provide recreation programs for the mentally and" physically handicapped who would not be provided recreational services from any other source. A 630-acre tract located 30 miles north of Madison, Wis., has been purchased by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service (FWS) through a program referred to as "Unique Wildlife Ecosystems." This is the first land acquisition in the Great Lakes area under this program authority. The 630-acre tract is an in­ tegral portion of a 2,000-acre proposal known as the "Fox River Sandhill Crane marsh." Acquisition of the remaining acreage is anticipated in the future, pending Congressional appropriations. The Fox River marsh was threatened by drainage for agricultural development. Over 600 acres of marsh located downstream from the newly purchased FWS site was drained in 1974. Conversion to agriculture usage was an imminent conclusion for the Fox River Sandhill Crane marsh as well. The greater sandhill crane, for which this tract is named, is the species of major concern. Shallow marshes provide ex­ cellent breeding staging and feeding areas for sandhill cranes. Sandhill cranes are highly territorial, sometimes defending areas of up to several hundred acres, FWS biologists said. Five pairs of cranes have nested and successfully raised young for the last several years. Approximately 60 non- breeding creanes remain on the marsh during the summer. In the fall, the marsh serves as a staging area for up to 350 sandhill cranes. In addition to the area's value for sandhill cranes, it is recognized by the FWS and other wildlife authorities because of a diversity of wildlife species and habitat types. According to surveys the area harbors a minimum of 100 species of birds, 26 species of mammals, 17 species of reptiles and amphibians and six species of mollusks. Ten distinct plant communities ranging from upland pines and hardwoods to aquatic or wetland types are found on the area. Several wildlife species found at the marsh are recognized on Wisconsins's list of endangered species while others are on the "watch" status The area has excellent potential for environmental education and scientific research. Research on sandhtff cranes has been conducted hdre for the last four years. /The tract is within 50 miles of I both the University of Wisconsin at Madison and Stevens Point. The Fox River marsh enhan­ ces the recreational and educational potential of John Muir park which is located on the east side of the marsh. Used in combination and protected from further degradation, th­ ese areas will be a valuable educational asset. En- Farms To Host City Guests A good Farm Bureau program reaching out to city people is the Farm-City ex­ change, Larry Harris, McHenry County Farm Bureau manager, has announced. This is an opportunity for a McHenry county farm family to have a city family live with them on the farm for a week­ end-to join in the daily routine and help out on the farm while learning. Later the farm family visits the city family at its home to gain an understanding of that part of the farm-city relationship. Weekend for the visit to farms is July 13-14-15, and this fifth annual exchange is a statewide venture. The McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee is assisting with this program. City families are chosen by WGN, Chicago, and KMOX, St. Louis, in a carefully established procedure that has proven successful. Last year, the Harold Borhart family hosted the Bill Bailey family of Palos Heights and report an informative, enjoyable ex­ perience. "We encourage McHenry county farm farmilies to participate in this program this year. Call us at lthe McHenry County Farm Bureau for more details and for us to place names on the list we send to the Illinois Farm Bureau", Harris said. "The IAA coordinates the program for Farm Bureau, and last year 80 farm families took part." * The way this program works is something like this: The city family usually arrives on the farm around 5 or 6 p.m. on Friday, stays overnight, works around the farm with the host farmer and his wife on Saturday, spends Saturday night with the family, goes to church on Sunday, enjoys a farm family dinner, relaxes a bit on Sunday afternoon, works out a return visit-and goes home with a better un­ derstanding of farmers and farming. The chance to exchange ideas and views after acquain­ tanceship blossoms into trust and friendship sets this program apart from other efforts to reach out to city people. How does the "getting acquainted" come about? At the Borharts, for example, Harold was in the midst of haying at his dairy farm so Bill Bailey was "drafted" and soon he was driving a tractor. "He also raked hay. We were putting up the second cutting of alfalfa," explained Harold. In this program, the organizfens match families so that children of similar ages in the participating families have counterparts. Michelle Bailey, for example, had Linda Borhart as her teacher while learning to lead a cow around the farm lot. Perhaps Bill Rood of DeKalb county, two-time host to families, summarizes this program best. "We do our work we need to do, and we worked hard the first morning. But to have city folks visit us is a vacation for our family, too." Harris said he encourages families in McHenry county to contact him and learn more details about hosting a city family. vironmental education and scientific research may be permitted on these areas to help better understand the relationship with naturally occurring plants and animals. Recreational activities in­ cluding hiking, nature study, photography, wildlife ob­ servation, hunting and fishing will be allowed if they are compatible with management objections. According to FWS spokesmen, the area will be managed as a "satellite refuge" by personnel from Necedah and Horicon National Wildlife Regues. Funding for the "Unique W i l d l i f e E c o s y s t e m s ' program" is authorized under the Land and Water Con­ servation Fund Act of 1965. Lands acquired under this program will be a part of the National Wildlife Refuge system. The preservation process is initiated by the identifcation of areas which qualify as unique or nationally significant wildlife ecosystems. Selection criteria includes wildlife habitats that are unique to a region or nationally significant wildlife ecosystems which provide benefits to the public over a broad geographical area. Areas utilized by a diversity of wildlife species will be given consideration in the evaluation. Habitats used by threatened and endangered species will also receive c r i t i c a l e v a l u a t i o n .

A plan which identified these ecosystems and o u t l i n e s a s t r a t e g y f o r preservation is being prepared by the FWS for each state. The second step in the process is the preservation and PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JUNE 1.1979 natural ecosystems. If future generations are going to know and enjoy wild places, decisions must be made to insure the preservation of wildlife ecosystems as dynamic, interacting com­ ponents of life itself.

The manner of preservation selected will provide optimum protection to the wildlife resources and best serve the long-term needs of the American public. Difficult decisions must be made between development and preservation of remaining GI Bill Check Lisi If you're a veteran planning to enroll in or return to school under the GI Bill, the Veterans administration has a useful check list to help keep those VA education benefits coming regularly: ..Double check your choice of courses to be certain they will count toward your educational objective ...Register early. VA and your school need time to process your registration so that GI Bill checks can be started your way promptly. ...Avoid dropping classes after registration. ...File for your GI Bill benefits as early as possible. ...If you have to interrupt your education, notify VA promptly and advise the date you expect to return to classes. ...If you change addresses, notify VA promptly. Of course, you'll want to notify the school and the post office, also. ...Submit transcripts to the college admissions and records office immediately after ap­ plication is made. This will speed up the school's cer­ tification to the Veterans Ad­ ministration. ...If you have any questions about the GI Bill or eligibility for it, contact the nearest VA regional office, or a serv ce officer from one of the natio ial veterans organizations KnowK/" (y* - j ^ Why is it said that light­ ning is caused by updraits? Is that true? First, it's true that updrafts are the cause of lightning. So that's why this statement is heard. Warm updrafts are the most usual producers of this spring's light-noise electrical discharge. Warm air rises and when it rises fast, and cools quickly, it builds up an electrical charge, which is eventually dissipated with a flash and a bang. The cumulonimbus (thunderhead) cloud is the source of strong updrafts and lightning and thunder. After the first big drops, then the heavy rain, and after the low, dark leading edge of this giant cloud passes above you, at that time the danger of lightning striking you on the ground is greatest.
