SECTION 2 - PAGE 6• PLAINDEALER HERALD, WEDNESDAY.OCTOBER 31.19S4 Volo Bog has new display of typical wetland habitat A unique wetland habitat display in the visitor center at the Volo Bog State Natural Area, In- gleside, was recently completed as a result of a $2,000 donation to the conservation department's "Helping Our Parks' Endeavors" program. The donation was made by Northrop Corporation's Defense Systems Division in Roll­ ing Meadows. The lighted exhibit, geared to helping school groups and other v i s i t o r s u n d e r s t a n d t h e significance and value of wetland areas rnd their inhabitants, is set into a wall of the visitor center. Lifeline representation of wetland flur; and fauna, including cat­ tails, water lilies, ferns, herons, raUs and various mammals, are seen with a background painting of a typical midwest wetland. Constructed by Volo Bog Site Superintendent Tim Kielar and In­ terpreter Alexia Trzyma with the aid of local volunteers, the display can be viewed from$~a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. weekends and most holidays. The state natural area, which has been designated by the U.S. Department of the In­ terior as a National Natural Land­ mark, and is dedicated as an Il­ linois Nature Preserve, is located n o r t h e a s t o f M c H e n r y o n Brandenburg Road. Steve Gonzalez, coordinator of t h e H e l p i n g O u r P a r k s ' Endeavors program, said, "This wetlandhabitat display exists on­ ly because of the Northrop Cor­ poration's desire to become in­ volved in a project that will benefit Illinois' citizens." Helping Our Parks' Endeavors was instituted by the conservation department last year as a means of encouraging Illinois citizens and corporations to purchase or donate items of all kinds that the d e p a r t m e n t n e e d s , b u t c a n ' t a f ­ ford to buy. • ' . i Since its inception, the Helping Our Parks' Endeavors program has received donations ranging from cash and equipment to volunteer labor, from such diverse sources as campfire girls, c o r p o r a t i o n s , s p o r t s m e n ' s organizations, women's clubs and individual doqors. Among items contributed to the 'Annie' benefit night set The Townsquare Players of Woodstock will give a benefit per­ formance of "Annie" at 8:15 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 8 for Turning PoinJ, Inc., an agency which pro­ vide! services to people involved in family violence. Ticket prices are $8 for aaults for A seats, $7 for adults for B seats, and $5 for children and «senior citizens. Tickets, are now available through the Woodstock Opera House during business hours, or o n p e r f o r m a n c e n i g h t , i f available. state parks so far are a 275-gallon drum and other parts needed to assemble a woodburning stove to heat the site superintendent's of­ fice at Illini State Park, bird seed, wood duck nesting boxes, bluebird nesting boxes and a snowmobile. Perhaps the largest equipment gift to date was a pair of hayracks and a farm tractor given last sum­ mer by Charles Reed of Rockford. The vehicles are in use at Rock Cut State Park. Cash contributions have ranged from a few dollars to $2,000, most of which were given for a specific purpose, such as a $50 gift to pur­ chase a park bench in memory of a donor's relative, $75 from a sportsman's club to buy fingerling walleye for stocking in Lake Le- Agua-Na, and a $50 donation for a trail sign and display case by the Roadside Naturalists Nature Club of Mt. Vernon. , O t h e r i n d i v i d u a l s h a v e v o l u n t e e r e d t h e i r l a b o r f o r various department projects. There also are some practical advantages, Gonzalez points out. For example, the 1984 Tax Reform Act allows individuals using the unitemized 1040A tax report form to deduct 25 percent of the first $300 in contributions. A married taxpayer, filing separately from a spouse, may take a 25 percent deduction on the first $150 in dona- Arthritis exercise classes to begin in early November Exercise cla^ ,es, designed for people with arthritis or persons over 55, are being offered by McHenry County College's com­ munity education office.

Hispanic population now helped in alcoholism council division The Northern Illinois Council on Alcoholism will host its official kickoff luncheon Nov. 1, for the opening of their new Hispanic ser­ vices division. In servicing the Hispanic com­ munity for the last several years, the need for prevention and educa­ tion in the alcohol and drug abuse area has greatly increased along with the Hispanic population. NICA recognizes the fact and has developed a Hispanic program to meet the special cultural needs. Materials and programs have been develQped and will be available to anyone needing assistance. Also developed is a referral service for anyone with a social service need? Funds for the program have been provided by the Lake County Board of Health. The program is staffed by Hec­ tor Rodriguez and Maria Eaker De Coronado, who are both bil­ ingual. They are available for assistance Monday through Fri­ day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For further information about the services or the kickoff lun­ cheon, contact the NICA offices (312) 244-4434 and ask for Maria.
