Thursday, January 13,1966 THE McHENRY PtAOTDEALER Section Three -- Page Fiye PlSTAKEE HIGHLANDS ROSEMARY LUTZ HYatt 7-3814 WATER COMPANY PROPOSES 50% RATE INCREASES How many of you know that .there is a pending request before the Illinois Commerce Commission from the Pistakee -Highland water company, askt ing for a 50 per cent increase in our water rates? This rate increase was to go into effect in November of 1965, but was • delayed until March of 1966. , This increase will affect all .of us, so I'm sure that the resi- • dents of Pistakee Highlands will be glad to know that the Pistakee Highl inds Association intends to take action on our •r -Jxihnlf. At the Jan. 5 meeting • ©P*the association, this pending increase was' discussed fully. A motion was made and passed for the association to hire an • ^attorney to take the necessary " steps to fight -this increase. It might also be of interest to know ^ that the water company does not intend to give any ZBeiter service for this 50 per '"Wnt increase. ~__At this time Bob Lutz, president of the association, introduced Vern Holm as the new - treasurer of the association. Vern is replacing Milton -Croasdale, who recently resign- ~ed.~ . There will be a Christmas pick-up on Saturday, Jan. T5? In the past it has boon the policy of the Teen Club to collect all the trees in the community, but because many of the male members are not available on Saturdays, the Pistakee Highland association officers will pick-up all the disc a r d e d t r e e s . A n y o n e w i t h trees to be picked-up should have them in their homes by 9 a.m. on the fifteenth. At this month's meeting it ' was also voted on to make a . parking lot at the side of/the community center facing/ the ; channel. This has always been an eye sore to the community and will be a pleasant improvement. Also parking his always been a problem, when using the center and this lot will certainly be put to good use. the entertainment for the evening. First number was the song "Chestnuts" sung by Tony and Pat Kosa; then , Linda Sluga and Mary Hansen doing "I'm Getting Nothing for Christmas". Tony Kosa and Linda Sluga sang "Winter Wonderland", with Debbie Hansen as the snow man. Closing the entertainment was a sing-a-long of Christmas Carols. The main purpose of the parent- teen--night was the panel discussion. The panel consisted of five parents, Mrs. Mamie O'Neilh/Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause (Mr. and Mrs. Peters) and Mr. and Mrs. Kosa; and five teens, Butch, Moch, Diane Sinicin, Linda Sluga, Pam Pulk and Pat Kosick. Questions were deposited earlier in the evening by both parents and teens and when the discussions began they were drawn out of the box at randonm. The panel lasted about an hour and among the topics were the drinking age and dating. TWs parent-teen night is only a firemory now, but I'm sure the ^parents attending will long remember it.
