(Signature of Portnt or Guardian) State utility board kicks off campaign GEORGIA 1. COBB Free cultural arts concert scheduled at Fox Lake The Chain O' Lakes Cultural Arts Association will sponsor the Chain O'Lpkes Orchestra, under the direction of Georgia I. Cobb, founder, in concert at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 10 in the auditorium of Grant Community High School, Fox Lake. More than 50 musicians will take up their instruments for the free concert and they range in age from elementary school students to senior citizens. Concert goers will witness Stephen J. Wolff, local com­ poser, borrow the baton from director, Ms. Cobb, to conduct "Thoughts of Home" and "Chain O'Lakes Suite," which he composed; and Mani^el Guzman, featured piano soloist, gives his performance of "Caminamos Juntos," his own composition. Wolff is the eldest son of the family of 17 children from Lindenhurst who appear as "The Wolves," the largest single family dance and show band in the world. He holds a master's degree from Bowling Green University and plans to pursue a doctorate in music. Guzman, a 30-year-old native of Mexico, is a graduate of Bellas Artes, school of music, in Mexico City, and was awarded a four-year scholarship for a performance he gave on double organs. He has a professional background which includes performances throughout. Mexico and has appeared locally in several establish­ ments He currently resides in Grayslake. Hie Chain O'Lakes Cultural Arts Association will offer a free reception, immediately following the concert, so that those who attend may meet the orchestra's founder, the featured guests, and all members of the Chain O'Lakes Orchestra. Illinois' first * statewide organization of gas, electricity, telephone, and water utility customers has kicked off an eight-month campaign aimed at recruiting 100,000 new mem­ bers. Hie Citizens Utility Board (CUB), which was created by the Illinois General Assembly in 1983 to represent consumers at utility rate increase hearings, will target its earliest efforts in downstate Illinois. The drive will incorporate a series of "town hall" meetings, designed to acquaint consumers with CUB. The first of the meetings will be held in early June, and are tentatively scheduled for East St. Louis, Carbondale, and Effingham. CUB meetings are to be held in each of Illinois' 22 Congressional Districts during the campaign. By statute, CUB has legal authority to mail its messages and membership recruitment materials to consumers in their utility bills. Utility companies are required to mail CUB- produced literature up to four times per year. "CUB is consumer clout," said Howard Learner, a Chicago public-interest attorney and CUB president. 'It's about time Illinois citizens had a strong voice speaking up for them and speaking out against rate in­ creases and wasteful practices that cost us all too much money. CUB will do that," he said. Learner predicted that CUB would meet its goal of 100,000 members statewide by the end of 1984. Minimum membership dues have been set at $5 per in­ dividual. Proceeds will initially support a small administrative, research, and organizing staff, but will eventually be used to retain professional experts as consumer representatives, challenging proposed rate in­ creases before the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). "Currently, only a handful of citizen organizations can afford the expert help necessary to make their case before the ICC," said Learner, "but every single utility company can. That's why the ICC is so often persuaded to raise our rates." An 11-member interim board of directors, which includes McHenry resident Lynne Donarski, was named by the . Governor and * legislative leaders earlier this year. Ttieir terms are set to expire on December 31,1984. They will be replaced by a 22-member permanent board elected by dues-paying CUB members in each of Illinois' Congressional Districts. CUB will not be supported by tax dollars. A state loan of $100,000, payable with interest in 1986, will support CUB's initial efforts. v Illinois is only the second state to create a CUB. Wisconsin's CUB has successfully in­ tervened in more than 50 rate cases, and is estimated to have saved that state's consumers nearly $200 million. The County of San Diego, Ca. has also created a CUB. Illinois CUB opened its office at 59 East Van Buren, Suite 801, Chicago 80605 in late May. Contributions should be sent to CUB at P.O.
