Twice Told Tales CETA Program Open For Business FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 6, 1981) At the stated meeting of the City Council Of McHenry, a tax levy of $50,448 was passed, one item of $2,500 for public benefits. The board had received a bid of $89 for cement painting of the city hall and water reservoir. An offer was made to the city board for gravelling and levelling John street, from the pavement at the Country club entrance to the clubhouse, for $1.40 a rod of the finest quality crushed rock, gravel and sand mixed all to be put through inch square mesh screens, the Country club offering to stand one-half the cost. The board rejected the offer. Beatrice Lane, who has been teaching the business courses in the high school for the past three years, has accepted a position in one of the high schools of Joliet. In losing Miss Lane, McHenry loses a very proficient teacher who has endeared herself to all who knew her. From "Bacon's Strip": "Hubert Smith's triple in the fifth off LaBahn was a real blow and it was only some exceptionally fast fielding on Sib Whiting's part, that saved it from being a homer. McHenry beat Wonder Lake 11 to 2." « FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 7, 1942) The parishioners of St. Mary's church are putting forth a special effort to make their celebration a real success for this day Aug. 10, marks the twentieth an­ niversary of the day Msgr. Charles S. Nix, their pastor, took up his duties here in that capacity. For 20 years he has guided them and labored for them to the best of his ability. As a special gift to the monsignor, his people have seen fit to sponsor the decoration of the interior of the church. An encouraging note to property owners comes out of the City Council meeting. Recognizing the need of sidewalk improvements, the council agreed to continue the plan on paying 20 cents per lineal foot on four-foot sidewalks. The property owner will pay the balance of expense in connection with the construction. All plans must be approved by the committee in charge and a permit secured for the construction. TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of August 9, 1956) McHenry may well be proud of the Girl Scouts for at the Junior County fair held at Woodstock the local Brownies took first place, with Woodstock Scouts second. The Brownie circus and the intermediate display of dolls representing Girl Scouts and Girl Guides Around the World will be exhibited all this week in the window of the post office on Riverside drive. The spreading fame of the McHenry water fighting team was given another boost when the local men captured the title for the ninth time in the last 11 years. The Plaindealer office was the scene of a small but festive party, the only un­ fortunate feature being its purpose. The party was a farewell for a very popular young man, Lonnie Rooksby, who has been the linotype operator for the last five years. The Rooksbys left to make their home in California. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the .files of August 6, 1971) Tom Bitterman, external vice-president of the McHenry Area Jaycees, and Committee Chairman Phillip Bartmann, an­ nounced that an organizational meeting will be held Aug. 25 for the purpose of establishing a McHenry Rescue squad. The McHenry Rotary and McHenry Area Jaycees are the prime movers in plan­ ning this meeting and members of those organizations, the John- sburg Rescue squad and Alderman George Harker, who represents the city of McHenry, comprise the forming committee. G r o u n d b r e a k i n g ceremonies were held to mark the start of con­ struction to enlarge the city of McHenry sewage treat­ ment plant. For the first time since cable television was first presented to McHenry's City Council in 1966, serious consideration is being given to granting a franchise. £ 1HAW MIOtA NfWl SHVICt Although funds for next ear for the McHenry ounty Comprehensive Employment and Training act will be cut by more than $1 million, the local programs are very much alive and open for business. CETA is a federally created program to train and place the, hard*to-employ in productive jobs. The program responds to the fact that many jobless people are unemployed not because they don't want to work, but because they lack the skills to find and keep jobs. Jack Haffner, director of the county's CETA programs, ana Don Bruns, the CETA personnel and e q u a l e m p l o y m e n t opportunity officer, are extremely proud of the local o n - t h e - j o b t r a i n i n g programs, and although the public service employment funding will come to an end in October, they are not worried because of CETA's linkage with private industry. * "The private industry initiative program, where the private sector has become involved, is working beautifully in the county," says Haffner. John Clark of Oak Industries, Crystal Lake, is president of the Private Industry Council established by CETA. According, to Haffner, the private industry's advisory council consists of local business people, chambers o f c o m m e r c e Assistant Director To Serve Defenders The McHenry County Defenders have hired Mrs. Pat Dieckhoff as assistant director. The McHenry County Defenders was established in 1969 to promote en­ vironmental awareness through informed and active participation of citizens dedicated to the protection of the land and natural resourced of McHenry county. Recycling, the activity for whidh the Defenders are best know*, will be expanded under the leadership of Mrs. Dieckhoff. Defenders now regularly conduct recycling drives on the first and third Saturday of every month in the city of McHenry, and on the third Saturday only, in Crystal Lake. The collection of used motor oil began in 1979 and an aluminum program is now being bf- fered. Mrs. Dieckhoff will also o v e r s e e m e m b e r s h i p utilization and recruitment. Anyone interested in membership or recycling information is encouraged to call her at the new Defender office, 459-0450. She comes to the Defen­ ders with a wide background in environmental activities. As a teacher in the Harvard schools, she was En­ vironmental Education coordinator for three years. Last summer at Pleasant Valley Outdoor center, Woodstock, she served as public relations coordinator and summer naturalist. She has been chairman of the Natural Resources com­ mittee of the Crystal Lake- Cary League of Women Voters and has recently been involved in volunteer work for the MqHenry^ County Conservation district as chairman of the Education committee, as well as a volunteer naturalist. She is presently com­ pleting her Masters Degree in Environmental Studies at N o r t h e a s t e r n I l l i n o i s university.

Haffner and Bruns are really enthused on the PIC and CETA Title VII program which aim to develop specific training programs for business and industry. These programs can be as diversified as desired by individual businesses ana industries, so they can train personnel' to their specific needs. According to Haffner, this training can take place at the private firm, at McHenry County college or Johnsburg high school. Haffner and Bruns explain the federal government and l a b o r d e p a r t m e n t ' s emphasis is in providing more money into training in the private sector.. With control by the private sector, there will be more latitude and freedom to design their own programs, rather than being told by the government what type of training may be provided. Title VII is controlled by the Private Industry council, made up of a cross section of volunteers from business, industry and local community-based organ­ izations. "Title VII is a federally f u n d e d p r o g r a m administered by the private sector, with as few restrictions as possible from the Department of Labor," says Haffner. rTm really proud of Title WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS VII... it takes a large part of CETA's program,'r Haffner T, le cites the many successes with CETA clients in McHenry county. "We've nad hundreds of people participate in the on- the-job training programs and most of them are now competing and becoming winners in the job market." Haffner emphasizes the group efforts of several agencies "that ties into CETA's successes. It's the linkage between these agencies and CETA that is an important factor" Haftner lists the counseling and help provided through McHenry County college and Johnsburg high school, in addition to the cooperation from many agencies, including Pioneer center, the probation department, chambers of commerce, the Community Forum, Youth IbHBBBBBB I I Service Bureau and the schools. I According to Haffner, CETA has a good reputation in McHenry county. "It's taken time and work ... but it's worth it. The end results are great ... the programs work," he says.
