On a sunny but cool Saturday morning, a group of visitors to the Volo Bog waited in front of the Dairy Barn that serves as the museum center. The group, which ranged from a 2 year old to adults of various ages, was eager to hear the story of the Volo Bog, the last fresh water quacking bog in Illinois. It was not long until they were joined by volunteer docent Pam King. She began with the story of the quaking bog, taking the group back 6,000 years to the time when the bog was first beginning to be formed following the melting of the great glacier which once covered the area. King has been giving tours to visitors for many years. “I believe I hold the record for presenting the coldest tour (-10 degrees) to the tour given on the hottest day somewhere around 100 degrees,” she said with a laugh. One of the first things visitors notice when walking the bog area is that the elevated boardwalk

How the bog formed The story of the bog begins when the Wisconsin Glacier covered most of the Midwest region, including most of Lake County. As it melted and receded from the area it left debris and chunks of ice, which had separated from the glacier. The extremely large ice chunks warmed and melted and formed many of the waterways for which Lake County is known. The area that is now known as Volo Bog was originally the site of a steep-sided lake of about 50 acres. Poor drainage of the area resulted in it developing a floating mat of sphagnum moss, which was the first step in creating a bog. The growth of the moss changed the condition of the water making it acidic, just right for the growth of acid loving plants. “Because of the acidity

Lake County Sheriff’s Office participated in the annual Click It or Ticket high-visibility seatbelt enforcement campaign to highlight the importance of seatbelt use through enforcement and community outreach. This campaign brings awareness to area residents. 97 citations for seatbelt violations were issued by Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies during one of the busiest holiday travel periods of the year. “We believe our outreach and enforcement efforts both save lives and raise awareness in our community,” said Sheriff John D. Idleburg. “Our Sheriff’s Deputies can tell you first-hand the number of lives they’ve seen saved in serious crashes because of the use of a seatbelt.” Illinois’ seatbelt use rate is nearly 95%, but unbelted occupants disproportionately account for more than half of those killed in traffic crashes. This Click It or Ticket campaign aims to change the behavior of the millions of people who still don’t buckle up. Thousands of lives could be saved each year if every vehicle occupant was properly restrained when traveling on the road.
