PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 16, 1974 McCullom Lake Gerry M ilbratz 385-8543 "Know RTA" Committee tell Defects Of Bill Community Center Schedule Includes Many Activities Scheduling for the com­ munity center thus far in­ cludes; Mondays 7 to 10 p.m. - kids open activity night. Fridays 7 to 10 p.m. - kids open activity night. Saturdays 7:30 p.m. - volley ball for persons 18 and over. And the different village organizations will hold their meetings, approximately once a month, each. This still leaves quite a few open days, and it is hoped more residents will volunteer some time* to chaperone the kids. Anyone who can spare an occasional afternoon, or evening to chaperone, is asked to cHl Jerry Raycraft. More equipment is needed for the community center. Donations of new or used sports equipment, table games, card tables, or cash to purchase * these items would be very welcome. BOARD MEETING =^==The village board meeting was brief, dealing mainly with communications. There was discussion about renting out the village hall occasionally, for private social affairs. It was decided the hall could be rented out, but only at the discretion of the board. The next board meeting will be Feb. 12. BEACH GALS The Beach Gals agreed, at the Jan. 9 meeting to take turns chaperoning at the community center, every Monday night, beginning Jan. 14. At least two adults will be present those nights, from 7 till 10 p.m. to stay with the kids. These will be open nights, meaning there will be no organized activity. The kids can use the sports equipment, or play games, as they choose. By-laws presented were not approved, due to controversy ; on one section, which will be re- discussed at the next meeting, Feb. 6. YOUTH CLUB Youth club meeting nights have been changed to the second and fourth Mondays of the month, to coincide with the open activity night, at the community center. It is hoped this change will encourage !IBM* attendance in the club. , The club was organized, so the young people of the village could plan their own projects, and activities. But aside from the first few meetings, where the kids did exceedingly well in organizing tag dayrf, there hasn't been much interest shown in setting anything else up. Could it be they want the adults to do all the planning, for them? For all interested young people, from 8 to 18, the next meeting will be Jan. 28, 7 p.m. in the beach house. GET-WELL WISHES Hoping this issue finds Allan McKim up and around again. Mr. McKim was having back trouble and we all hope he's feeling better, now. WINTER SPORTS «Hard as it is to believe, there are some people who are en­ joying this snowy weather. Among them are Karen and Marty Parks, and Les and Phyllis Venable, who spend a lot of time riding their snowmobiles. The Pennys also go snowmobiling, and like to ride around the lake, on Steve Penny's new snowmobile. Ice skating is popular now, too, and the Michels, the Suchors, Gleesons, and Scarbroughs all have a lot of fun, skating. A lack of sleds is no problem to the kids who go sledding at gate 5. They go down, four or five on one sled, or on small sheets of plastic, or cardboard. Some kids who go sledding there are the Wymans, Whites, Damianos, Walters, Kellers and Sullivans. OCCASIONS Mr. and Mrs. Boyle celebrated their wedding an­ niversary, Jan. 15. Hope they had a happy day. And best wishes to Frank and ^Carrie Kurth, whose anniversary is Jan. 22. Debbie Strauman's birthday is Jan. 16, and the Regners will be celebrating Mike Regner's first birthday, Jan, 20. LITTLE LEAGUE And speaking of uniforms, some boys still haven't turned in their Little League uniforms. C'mon boys, the Mayerrwant to get them stored, and ready for next season. You can drop them off at the Mayers' house when you go out to play after school or on the weekend. INFORMATION PLEASE Karen Parks and I are planning to put together a booklet containing facts on the village of McCullom Lake. Its purpose will be to provide residents with information on the various organizations, and services in the village. Names of village officials will be listed, also important phone numbers, plus some background on the history of the village. We'd like to include businesses, and HI GAL Interior Flat Latex • f '< wvBJVl tes&SSfl only IL'S Pro hardware 1228 N r.rpon St. People against the passage 6f the proposed Regional Tran­ sportation Authority bill met Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Marriott hotel near O'Hare. Attending the 9 a.m. meeting were state legislators, civic ^officials, and interested citizens primarily from the suburban areas of Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Kane and Will counties. However, there were also people there from Cook county and areas downstate. The theme of the meeting was "kNOw RTA" because this group of legislators feel that when people in the 5 collar counties around Chicago really "know the facts" about the proposed RTA bill, they will vote "no" in the March 1$- referendum. Rep. Donald E. Deuster, R. of Mundelein, who is chairman of the Illinois House Sub­ committee on Mass Tran­ sportation, moderated the program. Rep. Deuster opened the meeting by recognizing there were those attending who are against an RTA in any form, while there were others who are against the proposed RTA bill as a poorly con- • structed piece of 4egislation which discriminates against the suburban counties. This latter group sees the need for some positive form of RTA legislation in the future, but feel the current Senate Bill 27 as an ill-conceived, plan that was hastily rammed through the legislature early in December. In fact, Deuster pointed out that there are forty- six different areas of the bill which should be amended to make it acceptable to those in the five-county area. business services available in ' this area, and so ask anyone who operates a business here, to call either Karen or me. Other panel members noted that what the proposed RTA bill offers is a transit authority firmly Under control of the city of Chicago. Under the proposed bill, the RTA governing board would consist of nine mem­ bers--four appointed by Mayor Daley from the city of Chicago, two selected by the Cook County board, and only two representing all five suburban counties. The chairman is chosen by a ipajority vote of these eight members. In addition to the lack of suburban representation on the RTA board, those opposed say there is no sure guarantee that one penny of the $171 million annual RTA budget will be spent anywhere except within the city of Chicago. Milton Pitkarsky, chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, has already been quoted as saying that $171 million could not "bail out" the financially plagued transportation system. Source of revenue for the proposed RTA includes a 5 per cent regional gasoline sales tax, (becoming more expensive as the price of motor fuels continue to rise), and an unlimited tax on parking facilities in the six-county area. "Parking facilities" is un­ defined and unrestricted. It could include church parking lots, shopping centers, municipal metered spaces, and even private garages, ac­ cording to opponents. The committee also lists these deficits: "Section 4.04 of the bill allows the RTA board of directors, who are appointed and non- elected, to issue bonds and notes up to $500,000,000 Ok billion) without referendum at private sale, uncompetitively. "As the RTA board is now proposed, its chairman is not required to have public tran­ sportation experience.

Some of you may have already received them or will be receiving them within a few days. Just a reminder that if more dues are paid early in the year more work in the sub­ division can be planned. Beatrice Ehlert started the year by being the first to pay the 1974 dues. Please also read the letter ^enclosed from the salary is unlimited, and the salary of the other directors is $200 per day, plus expenses, without requiring a full day's work for a full day's pay." Area voters are reminded that there will be no description of the bill dn the ballot when the RTA is put up for referendum vote March 19. Hence for more details on the bill, or in­ formation on how to help the "kNOw RTA" committee, call Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., at Crystal Lake, or stop by his office at No. 8 Crystal Lake • v board of directors and pay special attention 4o the necessary expenses. Every bit of money is needed from dues in addition to a lot more financed by special subdivision projects. We need everyone's support to come out ahead. Let's all follow the leader and get our dues paid early. RESOLVED As a resident of West Shore Beach I will help my neighbor more this year. When 1 shovel snow I will not put the snow back into the street. When I see garbage dumped I will gladly pick up the mess. When my neighbor is incapable or ill I will shovel their snow or go to the store for them. To help save gas I will call to see if someone else wants to go to town. I will attend the Association meetings and become a member of the Ladies Club. With the new year I will try to be a better individual for our community and help improve our subdivision. PROTECT US Do you have a child walking along Ringwood Road? With the prevailing snow and ice conditions it would be safer for the children to ride to school. A possible solution would be a car pool from the subdivision for the protection of their lives and it would also save family gas too. Each mother contact Dolores Jaburek who has volunteered to be the coor­ dinator. If two or thr^ee carloads dropped the kids at school we could eliminate maybe eight unnecessary trips and keep the kids off the road. Please think about it seriously. SKATING FUN The ice is hard for the ki<$s and grown-ups alike! If you want a skating partner or need a hand at shoveling the ice call me and I'll be there. Skating is •< great exercise and a lot of you could use it. Let's have some fun. MISSOURI TRIP • It was a pleasant holiday season for Mrs. Radlein who spent many happy days with her relatives. In Owensville, Mo., she visited with her nieces and nephews; in Springfield and Verona she stayed with the ' Parkers. Now she's back to more snow and fond memories of a relaxing and exciting trip.
