Be sure to come! REMEMBER WHEN We were delighted to receive a letter from a former Wonder Lake correspondent for the Plaindealer, Mrs. John (Dorothy Heilman) Weich- mann. Dorothy, who moved to Arkansas from McHenry 5 years ago, works full time for the Mountain Echo, a county paper and also writes a column. Having moved to Wonder Lake in 1938 (a real pioneer!) her memories offer us some first person "Remember Whens". She wrote, "My grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Heilman, built what is noto, I think, Viola's store (more recently,^ Paulette's Pantry) and opened it in March of 1938. Next door towards the lake was a little out-building which Ivar Fredricksen used for his contracting business. In fact, he built the store. Next to him was another little store. Besides the gas station on the corner, that was it for businesses on Hancock drive. Jerry Kobovy's tavern on the lake was there also. I hardly know Wonder Lake anymore and recognize few names but I have many fond memories of growing up there just the same. I- visited the David Dolby's there in June. That area used to be known as Wickline bay and we lived there for several years after Grandpa sold the store. Josephine Moellner was the teacher at Harrison school, then a little one-room building with a wood stove for heat in the winter and two outhouses for bathroom facilities. The school has come a long way since then." Your letter was most in­ teresting, Dorothy. It would be a pleasure to share more of your "Remember Whens". COMMUNITY CALENDAR Aug. 18, registration, Harrison school A Guide To Travel for the State of Illinois' By Gojan Nikolich Illinois settlers once spoke the dialects of Marseilles and Rouen and on some mornings climbed stone turrets to hoist the fluttering royal banner of France's King Louis XV. These buckskinned "first ones" came as early as 1673, ate a spiced sausage called andouille and had the Oliniwek Indian recipe for deep fried fritters. When they traveled it was by canoe and always with a loaded flintlock at their sides. They thought the Mississippi river bluffs were peppered with gold and silver. And they built forts-great, brooding stone and timber installation whose restored and original remains offer an in­ teresting weekend sorte into the colorful French colonial heritage of Illinois. Fort De Charti es--The hardwood forests along the Mississippi in southern Illinois had just begun to turn when Pieite Duque de Boisbriant arrived in the fall of 1718 with orders to build the first of France's permanent military posts. Between 1720 and 1756 the fort was rebuilt several times until it achieved its present stone construction, courtesy of a French engineer named Francois Saucier. During its prime, Ft. De Chartres en­ closed 4 acres of land along the Mississippi, boasted walls that were four feet thick and 18 feet high and could house 400 soldiers. Today Ft. De Chartres State Park includes a 1,100 acre recreation area and the sites of an old French village and 18th Here's where to go and what '>ii<nwrtwy Indian settlement to do when you get there: Aug. 20, U.S. Coast Guard re­ cycling program, McHenry Market place, 9 to 1 Aug. 21, Indian Ridge picnic, east side firehouse, 2 p.m. Aug. 26, school opens at Harrison Aug. 27 and 28, Hickory Falls street sale, Ken's garage; U.S. Coast Guard auxiliary meeting, east side firehouse Aug. 28, Nativity Lutheran church 25th anniversary Sept. 7, registration, CCD, Christ the King church Bvs®435ST including Goodbye My Fnend/What I Did For Love You AreThere/Put A Light In Your Window crSt&Fi en**** Top Record Values sssiss* Willie I'm*** Nelson TW«or»,G ̂ A Thousand Way on* nilroadLady a Satin Stock Li's ail Tapes (MFG.Code 5.98 and up) when yon present this coupon!

KTE. 120 McHENRY OPEN DAILY 9-9 SUNDAY 10-6 nun Located south of East St. Louis, several miles from Prairie du Rocher and along Route 155, Ft. De Chartres features rebuilt guard houses, an old military well and powder magazine, gatehouses and the original foundation of the officer's quarters. On Saturday at 1 p.m. during the summer a French six- pounder cannon is fired. Renamed Fort Cavendish when the British took over, the fortress was the seat of English rule in Illinois until 1772 when it was abandoned and partially destroyed. Visitors to the state park can picnic, visit a museum, hike, and enjoy a year-round 'in­ terpretive program. Fort Creve Coeur-Now the object of an energetic restoration project which will eventually see the old fortress as it was in the 17th Century, Fort Creve Coeur is where Sieur de La Salle entered the Mississippi river valley to claim the midwest for New France. Built in 1680, it was the first building constructed by a European in Illinois. Over 20,000 visitors are ex­ pected to attend the "Fort Creve Coeur Rendezvous" slated for Sept. 24-25. Reflec­ ting the traditional excitement . experienced by fur trappers and frontier explorers who organized similar good times in the 1600's, the rendezvous will be held all day. Admission is free and what you get is a re- enactment of voyageur camp life-canoe races, a parade, "bridge walk" arts and craft festival, muzzle-loading con­ tests, foods and entertainment. For more information, contact: 309-699-0186. Creve Coeur is located across the Illinois river from Peoria. Fort Massac-History hints that the present site of Fort Massac State park was first used by DeSoto and his Spaniards in 1654 as protection from a marauding band of Indians. French explorers built a trading post here in 1702. Not until 1757, however, did French cannon and soldiers make the trek here-in this case under command of Charles Philippe Aubry, who was getting the shakes over rumors of a British war party heading toward the Mississippi river. Illinois' last great French fort is today a 1,381-acre state park which highlights fishing in the Ohio river, boating, tent and trailer camping, picnic areas with outdoor stoves and drinking water, and a museum. Fort Massac also flew the Union Jack of Britain and in 1778 served as a debarking point for George Rogers Clark who, with his revolutionary troops, went on to capture Kaskaskia Virginia. Visitors to the fort can see four blockhouses and corner bastions which were used by enlisted men as living quarters. You can reach kthe fort via Route 24, northeast of Metropolis just across the Ohio river and the Kentucky border. Fort Kaskaskia-Built on a bluff along the Mississippi during the French-Indian wars, the fort stood until 1766 when local townspeople destroyed it rather than have it fall into the hands of the British. The town • of Kaskaskia, founded in 1703, was Illinois' first Capitol in 1818. Enshrined today in a small brick building on Kaskaskia Island is the famous "Liberty Bell of the West." Given as a gift to area settlers by King Louis XV, the bell was forged in La Rochelle, France in 1741 and is eleven years older than its counterpart in Philadelphia. And it's cracked, too.• ' • Kaskaskia Island was ravaged by a flood in 1881 which cut a new channel for the Mississippi river directly through the center of the-old capital. Today the 14,000 acre island is completely isolated from the Illinois mainland and can be' reached only by traveling through Missouri. To reach the fort remains, the island and nearby at­ tractions such as the rambling French colonial home of first lieutenant governor, Pierre Menard, travel to southern Illinois along Route 3 to the towns of Chester and Ellis.Grove. \ Fort St. Lo»te~Once located atop the huge riverside outcrop which gave Starved Rock State park its name, Fort St. Louis was built in 1683 to control river traffic coming south from Canada into the New World territories. Planned as the first iif a series of installations that would keep the British confined to the eastern colonies, the rock-top fortress was the brainchild of Sieur de La Salle. The fort was' abandoned in the 1690's by the King of France following several brutal area raids by Iroquois Indians. Later, the fortress was used by the Indians themselves and as a temporary base for illegal trading expeditions. Though only a marker now remains of La Salle's fort, Starved Rock State park offers over 2,300 acres of camping, boating and recreational land. A park lodge features dining facilities and overnight ac­ commodations. Some of the most dramatic rock for­ mations, ravines and stream- filled canyons are found at Starved rock-cut by wind and an ancient glacier from native St. Peter's Sandstone. Starved Rock and old Fort St. Louis are located south of Route 80 near Utica in La Salle county. Extension Comments (By George J. Young, Extension Advisor, McHonry County, University of Illinois Soybean Insects Some green clover worms have been reported in McHenry county. To justify a spray treatment, it usually requires twelve or more half-grown worms per foot of row and 15 percent defoliation. If treat­ ment is needed, sevin, malathion, lannate or dipel will do the job. Read and follow directions for application. Renovating Pastures Now is the time to start thinking about renovating pastures. Mid-August is the proper time for this in McHenry county. Pasture renovation is important because yields are usually increased, nutritive quality is improved and erosion can be reduced. More livestock also can be run on renovated pasture because brush, weeds and inferior grasses have been eliminated and replaced with more productive forage sftecies. Good renovation also in­ cludes improving soil fertility. Use a soil test to determine needed nutrients. The soil pH should be 6.5 or higher. Fer­ tilizers should be added about three weeks before seeding. Renovation can be made with the usual tillage system or no- till procedures, using special seeders. If using a tillage system, disc with a heavy tandem disc, then wait a couple of weeks to let the hot August sun kill most of the disced sod. Disc again just before seeding, then level with a harrow, roll with a corrugated roller, broadcast the seed mixture and roll again. September rains will bring up the seedlings. The no-till system simply requires overgrazing, then seed, apply fertilizer and plant. The system also requires herbicides or a careful grazing technique to control com­ petitive vegetation. After seedlings emerge, remove the livestock and allow the pasture to DUUO up a food reserve for the winter. Hogs The quarantine for swine pseudorabies that was in effect early this spring on three McHenry County farms has been removed by the state veterinarians. Webworms Homeowners who notice heavy moth flights should consider treating their lawns for sod webworms. Webworms usually damage lawns in August. Observe the number of moths that collect around porch or other lights at night outside the home. If only a half-dozen or so are seen, treatment may be unnecessary. If twenty or thirty or more are present each night, homeowners should consider treating lawns about .ten to fourteen days later with car- baryl. ' (sevin), diazinon, chlorpyrifofc {8urtt>An J,T or aspon." The treatment will combat webworm larvae, so time must be allowed for the eggs to be laid and hatched. Homeowners should carefully follow all label directions and precautions on whatever product they use. A healthy, vigorous lawn is also a good defense, because it can support a number of webworms by producing more grass than the worms can eat.

Quite A Claim Some weeks after receiving a f10,000 check for the loss of her jewelry, a woman informed her insurance company that she had found the missing items. In a postscript, she added noncha­ lantly: "J didn't think it would be fair to keep both the jewels and the money, so 1 sent the $10,000 to my favorite charity." c?il!
