\ 7 Outline Building Plans At YMCA Annual Meeting New board members of the Lake Region YMCA elected to terms of office recently are shown at the annual meeting in Cary. Pictured are Vale Adams and Dean Paul of McHenry, John Lynch of Cary, Jerry Davis of Woodstock and Mrs. Marguerite Phelps of Cary. The eighth annual meeting of the Lake Region YMCA was held in Cary last week, with seventy-two persons present for the delicious roast beef dinner. The business meeting included the election of new board members, the president's yearly report, news of the 1970 Capital Fund campaign, presen­ tation of building drawings, fi­ nance summary for building and future plans. The meeting was also the oc­ casion for the celebration of the Lake Region Vs Men's club fifth anniversary. Entertain­ ment was not overlooked and the guests were treated to the unusual and inspiring artistry of John Mosiman, a noted ar­ tist who presented chalk talks to music, with special lighting effects. James Beroth, the evening's master of ceremonies, began the program at 7:15 p.m. with words of welcome, followed by the invocation lead by the YMCA Executive Director James Zoellick. Mayor Robert Fuchs of Cary initiated the formal business portion of the evening with a welcome and his hope for added success for the Lake Region YMCA. He also noted that the building program would be a great asset to the entire fu­ ture of the area. The business meeting was then turned over to George Huffman, YMCA board president, who asked for ap­ proval of the 1970 minutes of the annual meeting after they were read by Russell Magill, recording secretary. Russell Magill reported on the election results of new board members. Persons elected for three year terms were Dr. James Claypool, Clifford Fa- gan, B.C. Mathews and Robert Rosenthal, all of Crystal Lake; Vale Adams and Dean Paul of McHenry and Jerry Davis of Woodstock, John Lynch of Cary was elected for a two year term and Mrs. Marguerite Phelps of Cary was elected for a one year term. Following the announcement of new board members, Mr. Huffman gave his president's report in which he indicated the highlights of the YMCA's bus­ iest year. Program participa­ tion increased beyond all orig­ inal projections and the leasing of Thunderbird farm as the site for summer activities proved to be a most reward­ ing venture. Mr. Huffman noted that in 1970 2,019 persons join­ ed and participated in the Lake Region YMCA, and although it had been anticipated that total participation might level off, a total of 3,366 different per­ sons were active in YMCA pro­ grams during 1970. This repre­ sents a increase of 433 persons over 1969. Mr. Huffman noted that the Vs biggest event was the Cap­ ital campaign which had the am­ bitious goal of $1,450,000. Al­ though the goal was not reached, a very positive factor was the team's organization, which came close to reaching its goal. This was important because it proved the people of the YMCA's service area believed and sup­ ported the goals of the YMCA. He continued to tell his au­ dience there was an exciting year to come, which needed the dedication and hard work of all board and governing members. He concluded by saying that the 1972 summer program would be held on "Y" property. Business continued with Harry Braun's presentation of the Building Fund report. The latest figures showed pledges of $244,060 from the top level group of the campaign, $125,- 748 from the Big Gifts group and $188,236 from the Teams organization. A grand total of $558,044 has been pledged for the building program of a per­ manent home for the Lake Re­ gion YMCA. Mr. Braun noted that reminder statements were being mailed to all building fund contributors and that people would be informed regularly of each new step in the building program. Robert Englert shoed slides of the floor plans of the new building. The slides showed a 37 by 75-foot-six lane, indoor, competitive swimming pool, men and women* s locker rooms, washrooms, a game room, three offices, lobby and boiler room with pool filtration equipment. The building is an expandable two-story structure. It is also hoped that at the time of con­ struction additional excavation could be completed in the base­ ment area for an unas signed space. An explanation of the financial side of the building program was made by Robert Wilford. Mr. Wilford informed the au­ dience that the building plans as viewed are estimated to cost $600,000. Additional consider­ ations are land, $39,000; a well, $14,000; a septic system, $15,- 000; furnishings and equipment, $28,000; architects, $34,000; YMCA building and furnishings service, $16,000; parking and landscaping, $10,000; campaign costs, $50,000; incidentals, $3,- 000; YMCA operating budget to 1972, $50,000. The amount really needed, he pointed out, is $859,000. Plans are already being pre­ pared for the acquisition of building loan monies and the above ideas would make up the difference. He concluded, "that bids would be let soon, ground breaking would be this summer and with rededication of all, the isoaaaaaaaaaa NEW Cocktail Lounge is NOW OPEN LIVE ENTERTAINMENT & DANCIN6 FRIDAY JANUARY 29th J.

For the older movie fans, this one will be reminis­ cent of those seen in the 40's where the stars acted the part-- and there was a plot to the film. Ali MacGraw, as Jenny Cavi-^ lleri, is the daughter of an Italian banker and Ryan O'Neal, as Oliver Barrett 4th, is the son of a millionaire (Ray Mil- land). Oliver and Jenny fall in love and do most of their courting at libraries and while doing their homework. Later, after they are married, a poignant "love story" is portrayed in t h e i r l i f e t o g e t h e r t h o u g h plagued with the knowledge that Jenny is dying of an un­ identified blood disease. If there is a lesson or point to this film, it's the fact that true love is still a beautiful goal in life. The film is en­ hanced by a lovely musical score without rock. It has a "GP" rating. r £ l 0 M £ . A L AV J A S FOfi- A 0F A CAL<-£t>"biO A/flMf" The Law Serves You Approximately half the cases on the Supreme Court's calen­ dar are devoted to the inter­ pretation of various provisions of the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution), according » to the Illinois State Bar As­ sociation. A cornerstone of the Amer­ ican judicial system is contain­ ed in the sixth amendment. It provides "In all criminal pros­ ecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to have assistance of counsel for his defense." The Bill of Rights to the Illinois Constitution gives the same guarantee. It means every per­ son accused of a crime has a right to have a lawyer defend him in the courts. This assures an accused person or a defen- adant, whether rich or poor, of a chance for a fair trial. Even hiii'i'y intelligent, edu­ cated persons are not skilled enough in the science of the law to defend themselves. The lay­ man is unfamiliar with legal rules and therefore lacks the skill to adequately establish his innocence. To protect the rights of the in­ dividual, the state established the Office of Public Defender. If a person accused of a crime punishable by a jail sentence is financially unable to pay for his own legal counsel, the court must provide a lawyer for him. Usually this is the public de­ fender. Each Illinois county with a population of 35,000 or more now has a public defender. County Boards in counties with fewer than 35,000 population may create an Office of Public Defender. Further, any two or more adjourning counties within the same judicial circuit may create, by joint resolution, a common office. All public defenders are duly licensed attorneys and their salaries are paid from the coun­ ty treasury. A public defender acts as the attorney (without fee) for all persons charged with the commission of any criminal offense who are either held in custody or whom the court finds are unable to em­ ploy legal counsel of their own. -The Illinois^State Bar Associa­ tion said it is his duty to see that the accused has the benefit of all rights and legal protec­ tion bestowed upon him by the law. If a defendant or an accused person demands a lawyer oth­ er than the Public Defender, and can show good cause for this demand, the court will honor the request. This law­ yer will be compensated for his services with public funds. The court requires an affidavit signed by any defendant who requests a court-appointed law­ yer. The defense counsel, whether he is personally re­ tained, court-appointed, or has volunteered his services with­ out charge, has an obligation to defend the accused to the very best of his professional ability. The right to legal counsel applies from the moment a per­ son is arrested. The United States Supreme Court set the standards for pre-trial rights to counsel in the 1966 case of Miranda vs Arizona when it stated "After a person is taken into custody...prior to any ques­ tioning the person must be warned he has the right to re­ main silent, that any statement does make may be used as evidence against him, and that he has the right to the pre­ sence of an attorney, either re­ tained or appointed. If the per­ son indicates in any manner %nd at any stage of the process that PAGE 7-PLAINDEALER-FRI6AY, JA'NOARY 29. 1971 he wishes to consult with an attorney before speaking there can be no questioning." The high court also ruled that the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel provision applies in any techniques used to produce an identification of a suspect, audi as lineups and face-to*-face en­ counters between a suspect and witness.
