The Times from Munster, Indiana • 35

a a a a a a a a THE TIMES Sunday, December 29, 1974 E.C. Park Project Stalled EAST CHICAGO. Judge Alfred Pivarnik has extended a temporary restraining order that bars East Chicago's Park Board from starting a $5.3 million park project. Pivarnik also released $160,000 in partial architectural fees to the Chicago firm of Perkins and Will, which drafted the park rehabilitation program. It has been learned that the park board held an unannounced meeting Dec.

16. The same day the board cancelled a meeting with a citizen's group on the grounds it couldn't convene because of a pending lawsuit. Charles Pakurar, First District Precinct Organization president, had been promised the 1 Dec. 16 meeting with the park board to discuss why First District parks had been excluded from the $5.3 million rehabilitation program. About 35 residents, including members of the Coalition of Concerned Citizens, filed into City Hall on Dec.

16. They found a bulletin board note saying the meeting had been cancelled. The coalition had come to question board members about alleged irregularities in Metro's bid documents on the park contract. Minutes of the Dec. 16 meeting show that the meeting was held at 4:30 p.m.

in park department offices at 1615 W. 142nd St. The minutes show the board hired Hammond attorney Saul Ruman to represent them individually and as board members in the lawsuit. Attorney fees WithLarry Steoart hold $426 presented to him and his son, Dearl, by stewardess Money flight Marsha to Grieger. Chicago.

He The lost his wallet took on a passengers up Miracle a collection where and it was delivered to Whiting, Steoart is staying with friends. Cash Donations Cheer Dad, Son in Dilemma CHICAGO (AP) "I just forgot that people are like that," said Larry Steoart of his fellow-passengers on Flight 107. "I'm a big man and it's hard to hold back the tears." Steoart was talking about $426 which stewardess Marsha Grieger gave him Saturday at a friend's home in Whiting, Ind. With the money, contributed by passengers and crew on the American Airlines flight, were a set of stewardess wings, a chief pilot's wings and a note to Steoart's 3-year-old son Dearl, nicknamed Rocky: Someday have your daddy tell you how 11 of us and 240 passengers fell in love with a little guy most have not even seen. In the meantime, if you ever get the feeling that the whole world is bad and no one cares, give these wings a long look." Rocky and his benefactors' paths first crossed when Steoart, of Detroit, flew to Chicago to get medical attention for the boy, who is unable to control the muscles in his legs.

Himself a disabled construction worker, Steoart was taking the boy for an examination at Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children. But when the pair arrived at O'Hare International Airport on Thursday, Steoart discovered his wallet $80 was missing. He lacked even money to get to the hospital. Ms. Grieger she prefers the feminist designation was the first to learn of Steoart's dilemma.

After a fruitless search of the plane for the wallet, she collected $27.50 for cab fare to the hospital. But Steoart, in tears, refused to take it until he was given the names of the crew so he could repay the money. Later, as the flight continued to Phoenix, Ms. Grieger asked passengers to look for Steoart's wallet. Some of the 240 persons aboard the DC10 recalled Rocky from the neck braces he wears to support the two collar bones he broke in the past year.

Then it happened "like wildfire," said Capt. Smokey Callahan, the pilot. "A couple of people started talking about the man and Rocky, and somebody started taking up a collection." "The first man gave me $20 and before I went three steps I had $150," said Ms. Grieger. "A man on the other side of the aisle asked me what I was doing and when I told him he began collecting on that side.

"It was beautiful, but crazy. It was just unreal. A 9-year-old boy drew a get-well card and gave it to me to give to Rocky. Other people wanted his address to send him cards." Jeffers Fires Lawyer As 'Delaying Tactic' HAMMOND Garland Jeffers, jailed leader of Gary's notorious Family drug gang has fired his Chicago attorney. Federal prosecutors call the action a "tactic" to delay his trial on charges of operating a continuing criminal enterprise.

Jerrers, who was transferred Friday from Cook County Jail in Chicago, to Fort Leavenworth, under a 15-year sentence for drug conspiracy, is slated to go on trial March 17 in Lafayette, for directing the Family's network of illicit heroin and cocaine sales. If convicted on the charge, Jeffers faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. On Christmas Eve, Jeffers' latest attorney, James A. Stamos, nephew of Illinois Supreme Court Justice John J. Stamos, filed a motion in U.S.

District Court here to withdraw as Jeffers' defense lawyer citing "irreconcilable differences." Stamos said because of the "differences" he could not adequately prepare Calumet Region Obituaries and conditions of payment are not mentioned in the minutes. Friday's hearing in Lake Superior Court in Hammond never progressed beyond the issue of whether those bringing the suit posted a sufficient surety bond. Plaintiffs Dr. Edward L. C.

Broomes, Edward Edwards, Dr. J. Winston Harper, Mrs. Katie Mason and Ceasar Bonilla have posted a $1,000 bond. The bond was raised to $25,000 by Judge Pivarnik to insure Metro Construction and the park board against financial loss.

They posted the necessary increase. Park Superintendent Victor Torres and Perkins and Will architect Paul Handing, subpoenaed as witnesses, never got to take the stand.

A LITTLE ANGEL When God called little children To dwell with him above, We mortals sometime question The wisdom of his love. For no heartache compares with The death of one small child, Who does so much to make our world Seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling The aged to his fold, For he picks a rosebud, Before it can grow old. knows how much we need them And so he takes a few To make the land of heaven, More beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, Still somehow we must try, The saddest word mankind knows Will always be good bye. So when a little child departs, We who are left behind, Must realize God loves children Because angels are hard to find. We love you and miss you, Mommy, Daddy, brothers, Michael and Brian.

the defense of the case, and that Jeffers had, in fact, fired him. But Jeffers has a track record for trying to "disrupt the case against him," said Asst. U.S. Atty. Richard A.

Hanning. Hanning said the government is "extremely suspicious" of Jeffer's motivations and will ask that the motion be denied by U.S. District Judge Allen Sharp. When the federal government first began chipping away at narcotics trafficking in Northwest Indiana Jeffers was represented by the law firm of Max Cohen and Nick Thiros. At Cohen's direction, the firm was withdrawn from the case.

Later, Judge Sharp appointed E. Kent Moore, under the Federal Defender Program to represent Jeffers following the gang leader's continued refusal to obtain private counsel. Hanning said this latest move by Jeffers "appears to be just another effort to delay the proceedings against him." IN LOVING MEMORY of John Ellis Oberg, who passed away December 29, 1967.
