JUNE II. IM2 Boost Archaeology In Area On Saturday morning. May 22, McHenry county's new Sauk Trail chapter of the Illinoic Association for the Advancement of Archaeology waa organized. Consisting mostly of members from McHenry county, the new organization hopes to be able to render valuable assistance in determining which areas and sites in the county are in need of protection and to aid the Conservation district in preserving and interpreting both the prehistoric and historic ar­ chaeological heritage of the county. The first steps to the founding of the new organization were taken when, in the summer/ of 1973 and 1974, the Conservation district contracted with the Foundation for Illinois Ar­ chaeology to make an extensive survey of the county. In 1979 and again in 1960 workshops were held at the McHenry County college concerning McHenry county archaeology and the planning to establish an ar­ chaeological society. In the spring of 1962, a group of interested citizens began meeting to establish an archaeological organization which, though fully in­ dependent of the McHenry County Conservation district, would help the district to establish goals and programs in relation to ar­ chaeological preservation and education in McHenry county. On May 22 at McHenry County Conservation district office on Harts ro«H. IS charter members approved a constitution and by-laws and proceeded to elect officers and a board of directors for the chapter. Nancy E. Marcotte of Wonder Lake was elected president. Ders Anderson of Crystal Lake became the vice- president, while Craig Pfannkuche of Wonder Lake became the secretary- treasurer. Board members elected were Cathy Plodzien of Crystal Lake, William Weber of Crystal Lake, Cookie Him of Cary, Cindy Tio of Crystal Lake and Jim Hoffman of McHenry. Included in the dueiis membership in the Illinois Association for the Advancement of Archaeology. In­ dividuals interested in membership can contact Craig Pfannkuche, MIS' Memory trail, Wonder Lake, (I1M5I- 9459). Absolutely no prior ar­ chaeological skills are necessary in order to Join. In the future, the chapter hopes to hold skills cer­ tification sessions for interested members. , . A liaison committee was established to meet with the Con­ servation district and hear their needs and suggestions. A full report by that committee of those meetings will be presented at the next quarterly meeting of the Sauk Trail chapter Aug. 14 at the conservation district main office on Harta road at 10 a.m. # Other major undertakings of the chapter will also be suggested and planned at that time.

Formerly a simple backyard with a muddy little pond, a man with land­ scaping for a hobby transformed the yard into a one-acre Shangri-La. That man is William Brown, who lives with his family in West Chicago. His wife, Shirley, is the former Shirley Wallner, of Fairway drive, in McHenry. Two spring-fed, well stocked ponds accent the backyard oasis, bordered by a sandy beac i and wooden bridge. There are approximately 40 species of wild/lowers and shrubs, 12 different types of evergreens, 15 varieties of shade trees and a wide range of ground cover. The ponds, stocked with catfish, bluegill, troui and bass, provide ex­ cellent recreation for the four Wallner children: Christine, Alan, Joan and Philip. Tod and Scott Brown live away from home. A great deal of work was done by the children, Brown said, noting that they helped not only with stones, but also spreading sand and wood chips. Wood rounds accentuate the various plantings and large stones were placed along the sloping banks of th» ponds. In the spring and fall the pondi attract migrating Canada geese aad wild ducks. The location of each wildflowef, shrub, groundcover, shade and evergreen tree was planted with optimum display in mind.
