Weather 2 Neighbors Almanac 2 Sports This is a 2 section, 20 page newspaper Workers behind township park project honored McHeniy f Local organizations tiw»i» /jjf |f % combine their efforts Park Plan By Kelly Thompson Plaindealer Staff Writer The spotlight was focused on Steve Pollock, Johnsburg High School vocational director, Jack Haffner, McHenry County JTPA di­ rector and Albert Adams, McHenry Township Supervisor. Ken Schaefer, project architect, said without Adams, Pollock and Haffner no park would be built. "I marvel at what can be accom­ plished when government agencies work together," he said. Frank Daigh, DCCA suprvisor who monitors JPTA programs, said, "This is the best project I've ever seen. It emphasizes linkage." He added that this project might serve as a model for the nation to follow. Near the meetings end, Pollock presented Adams with a plaque for his efforts. The plaque featured a shovel mounted on a wooden sur­ face, in commeration of the groud breaking ceremony. Adams said when the community building is finished the plaque will rest in a glass case for all who took part in the project. Originally, the park was planned to be a five-year project. That num­ ber was whittled to two because of the speed of the young workers. People working behind the scenes to make the McHenry Township Park a reality were pushed into the limelight Wednesday and forced to take a bow. - The actors, working under the guise of about seven organizations, were honored in front of the more than 100 people in attendance. They were saluted, at the park site, for providing a linkage system to carry out construction of the project. The plan called for the enlistment of about 20 local youths - participat­ ing in a summer program under the Job Training Partnership Act r to prepare a 53-acre lot for a park. The site is situated on Rt. 31, adjacent to the township building. Funding for the project came through government dollars alloted to the JPTA. It was made possible through donations by agencies and organizations. The organizations in­ clude local unions, private industry council, county board, highway de­ partment, township, Johnsburg . High School, migrant council, Illi- •™J nois Department of Commerce and Off Community Affairs and other local organizations. mNO* OAMf AR£A ruT\J*E u oo) ruru*€ (lOO) f PL AT 7 •Qrooo 4 STOMOt Steve Pollock, right, vocational director for Johnsburg 5 High School, presents Albert Adams, McHenry Township supervisor, with a plaque, as an expression of gratitude for the Township Board's effort in building the park.
