RTE. 120 McHENRY MARKET PLACE 305-665$ The destruction of mar­ shes and other wetlands in the Chicago region means that several species of birds and fish, which don't nest elsewhere in Illinois, may . soon go the way of those other former denizens of the region, the black bear and bison. Carl Becker, endangered species biologist for the Illinois Department of Conservation, identifies sixteen Illinois endangered and threatened species of birds, fish and amphibians which occur mostly in northeastern Illinois. The animals singled out by Becker are found in other states but would not be found outside the Chicago area in Illinois. Some of the birds may be sighted in other parts of the state during migration, but are believed only to nest in Illinois in the Chicago area. Native Chicago area en­ dangered birds are the piping plover, Wilson's phalarope, Forster's tern, common tern, black tern and yellow-headed blackbird. Also cited, but in the less dangerous "threatened" category, are the common gallinule, veery, Brewer's blackbird and Henslow's sparrow. Native fish on their way out of the Chicago area are the endangered longjaw cisco and the threatened cisco, longnose sucker, pugnose shiner, blacknose shiner and lake whitefish. The endangered spottled turtle is the only Chicago area amphibian listed. Of this dwindling group of Chicago area residents, only the longjaw cisco is on the Federal endangered species list as well as Illinois'. The reasons for each species slipping into en­ dangered or threatened status vary, but man's heavy hand upon the environment is usually a major factor. All of the six endangered Chicago birds, two of the threatened birds and the spotted turtle live in wetland areas which have systematically been drained, filled or flooded for development. The two varieties of shiner have been adversely af- * fected, though indirectly, by the loss of wetlands. Both these tiny minnow species are intolerant of muddy waiters and loss of wetlands has contributed to additional xjaMVi runoff - Illinois, r streams. Sis The Lake Michigan fishes on the endangered list are struggling in an en­ vironment made topsy-turvy by too much commercial fishing and the introduction of several exotic species such as the alewife and sea lamprey. Most of the native Chicago endangered and threatened species do not occur elsewhere in the state because northeastern Illinois is on ..the fringe of their breeding range, says Department of Conservation wildlife biologist Vernon Kleen. A few like the spotted turtle probably were never abundant in Illinois but even these rarer populations should be preserved, he says, because they enrich the gene pool of the species. "A lot of times it is peripheral populations that eventually adapt to changing conditions,", Kleen argues, adding "and this gives (scientists) a chance to view evolution at work." All too often, while an animal is being forced out of fringe areas it is also losing habitat in the center of its range as well, Kleen says.: Wetlands so crucial for most of these species are fast disappearing as more sophisticated methods are developed to economically exploit them. In 1885 McHenry county had ap­ proximately 35,000 acres of wetlands. Now only 28,740 acres of wetlands are left in the entire 6-county Nor- 10HNI FREUND Freund Funeral Home Serving Wonder Lake and Chicagoland Area 815-728-0233 7611 HANCOCK DR. WONDER LAKE theastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC area) according to NIPC. Actually, endangered birds and fish are squeezed down to about 5,300 acres (excluding Lake Michigan) in the NIPC region, counting known nesting spots, other pristine marsh and bog areas and adjacent woodlands. "The only hope I have is for those areas that are in public ownership. There is a relentless pressure" for development," Becker says. Other than actually buying land (especially costly in the Chicago area), about the only way to protect wetlands is ^ . through zoning regulations. Many of the counties in the area' are tightening restrictions for wetland use as more people become aware of the problems of disappearing habitat and of the concurrent values of wetlands for flood control and recharging the ground water aquifer. Currently, Lake county is considering a com­ prehensive natural feature ordinance which would prohibit further construction in its estimated 14,830 acres of wetlands. Public opinion seems behind the ordinance, according to a county planner. "People are more enlightened now," says Jerrold Soesbe, director of the Lake county Forest Preserve district, which has aggressively pursued acquisition Of wetland areas along the DesPlaines river. Occasionally habitat improvements can be made, such as last month's blasting of potholes in the Chain O'Lakes area to create more open water in the Chain's marsh areas and increase its attractiveness to various types of birds. A chief beneficiary may be the yellow-headed blackbird. Such opportunities are limited, however, by our lack of knowledge of many of these disappearing animals. Heads Seal Campaign health service agency to offer occupational therapy in McHenry county to persons 21 years of age and older, on a full time basis. This program fills a void that has existed in the rehabilitation therapy service system available to the disabled of McHenry county. During the short time this service has been available, over 50 client treatments have been given. The Easter Seal Therapy center is dedicated to the provision of direct service care and rental of equipment such as wheelchairs and crutches to the hundreds of physically disabled children and adults from McHenry county. Of each dollar donated to Easter Seals, 97 percent stays in McHenry county. 3 There's nothing sure except death and taxes -- and in­ creases in the cost of oil. i ' .

The Easter Seal Spring campaign, of which Ms. Stout is chairman this year, is being held from March 1 through April 6. Ruthe Stout has been named Spring campaign chairman for the Easter Seal Society for McHenry County. She has resided in Crystal Lake for twenty years, and is a past member of the Easter Seal Advisory board and has been active in various community volunteer organizations. Donations made at this time make it possible for Easter Seals to continue to reach out to handicapped children and adults - no matter what the age - no matter what the disability. The Easter Seal Therapy center has been serving the handicapped of McHenry county for 31 years. Last October the Easter Seal society added oc­ cupational therapy services to its existing rehabilitation program which includes physical therapy, speech and language therapy.
