BOB BLAZIER One of the most active persons in McHenry county, at every level of participation, is Bob Blazier, superintendent of School District 47 at Crystal Lake. Asked why he is so heavily involved in so many volunteer enterprises, he said, "The community has been very good to me and I have a strong feeling that people who work in community supported organizations such as school districts have to return the compliment and work hard for the community." Currently, Blazier and Rick Ber- notas, principal of North Junior high school at Crystal Lake, are making United Way presentations to school districts of the county. Already they have met with the administrative staff of District 200 at Woodstock and with the superintendents of the two McHenry school districts. Plans are to contact administrators of all 21 public school districts and McHenry County college to seek support for the United Way. If a district wants Blazier and Bernotas to make a presentation on the payroll plan to collect for the United Way, they will be glad to do this. Some districts will handle their own programs. Blazier says that District 47 has been committed to the payroll plan for a very long time. He says, "We think it is a good way to raise money painlessly for the United Way which assists so many agencies, from the Scouts to the Senior Citizens." In discussing the United Way. Blazier said, "Number One, it is a coalition of community oriented organizations interested in making every town they work in a better place to live in." Blazier says, "The United Way has taken away the problem of continued fund raising by a series of groups and capsulized it into one major drive during the year.

The major thrust of the campaign will be in October and will continue on until the end of the year. In testimony prepared for a legislative hearing in Crystal Lake recently, Woodstock Mayor Frances Kuhn said proposals developed by the Executive com mittee of the Chicago Area Tran sportation Study Council of Mayors to restructure regional transit could provide what she termed, "at least the basis for a rationally-organized, well- run, financially-stable transit system." Ms. Kuhn, a member of, the Executive committee and of the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission, told legislators on the Illinois Transportation Study com- mision that the mayors' proposals differed significantly from other comprehensive measures voted down .in the last General Assembly. And, she added, "all of them differ from the stopgap measure that did pass which reapportioned the RTA board in favor of the suburbs and gave the RTA authority to issue short-term notes. That was no solution at all." Mayor Kuhn said the council, which represents the 270 municipalities of the six-county region outside Chicago, has been involved in transportation issues since 1970. It was the threatened total collapse of regional transit that moved the executive committee to spend arduous months developing a solution with broad regional support. Under the mayors' proposal a four- part structure would replace the RTA. Overall fiscal control would be vested in the North East Transit System (NETS) board. Operations would be controlled by three service boards; Commuter Rail, Chicago Transit, and Suburban Bus. Ms. Kuhn said NETS' duties, paid for by a one-percent share of transit sales tax revenues, would include receiving and disbursing, according to formula, the revenues earmarked for transit support. NETS also would provide funding estimates to the service boards and would review and PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29.1982 collar county boards and mayors. Both boards, Ms. Kuhn said, would set policy as well as fares and service levels and each would be required to recover a fixed share of its cost from the farebox as would the CTA. Mayor. Kuhn said among the features designed to provide better suburban service is the further division of the Bus board into Cook county and Collar county committees to develop separate operating budgets and cash plans. The CTA basically would remain the CTA, Ms. Kuhn said, but the board would have seven members, five appointed by the mayor of Chicago and two by suburban Cook county mayors. In setting rapid transit fares, the CTA could not discriminate bet ween Chicago and suburban portions of its service area. approve the budgets and cash plans that the service boards would be required to submit on a specific schedule. "But fiscal oversight," Ms. Kuhn said, "is NETS' main function and to~ enforce its authority it would have the power to cut off operating funds to any service board whose budget was not in balance." No member of any board would be salaried; there would be token compensation of $2,500 a year. Control of NETS, Commuter Rail, and Suburban Bus boards would be in suburban hands. The mayor ex plained that of seven NETS members, four would be appointed by suburban Cook and collar county officials and mayors. Most Commuter Rail Service board members would be named by suburban interests but the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois would each appoint one member too. The Suburban Bus board would have 11 members, six named by suburban Cook county mayors, the rest by 4-H HOUSE LEADER Sue Malenuis was recently installed as assistant song chairman of 4-H House on the University of Illinois campus.
