MEET FOR RETARDED The regular meeting of the board of directors of the McHenry County Association for the Retarded will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 8 p.m. at 4001 Dayton street, McHenry. McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency Director John J. Shay was recently named president of the American Society of Professional Emergency Planners (ASPEP). According to Ernest Terrien, vice- president of ASPEP, Shay was elected to the president's position for the leadership he showed while president of the state Emergency Management association and the efforts made to bring other civil defense units together. Shay said the ASPEP was formed in an attempt to promote better relations between the federal planners and the local emergency services coor­ dinators. . "Problems that arise in Great Falls, Montana, or El Paso, Texas, are the same ones that arise in Podunk, Iowa," Shay said. "We want to get all the planners coming together to learn the same things." Shay pointed out that the society has developed files on disasters that have already occurred so that the people charged with managing disasters will not have to continuously "re-invent the wheel." With the resources of the ASPEP, local planners can learn from earlier disaster management mistakes, Shay observed. Shay said the future role of the ASPEP could be to help guide less experienced civil defense coor­ dinators when problems arise. "There is no school in the U.S. where you can learn the emergency coordinator's job," Shay said. "The society also helps in this regard." Membership in the society is limited to those people who have successfully completed the Career Development program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Completion of the entire program represents the highest level of academic achievement currently available in the emergency management field.

SHAY Present Transit Program At Dec. 2 Public Hearing / / / - / GOODWILL IN CITY Goodwill Industries local representative Mrs. Agnes Adams has announced that the Goodwill truck will be in McHenry Friday, Nov. 26. For pick-up information call 385-0863. The proposed Five-Year Transit program for Fiscal Years 1983 through 1987 was presented to the Finance and Transportation Policy committees of the Regional Tran­ sportation Authority and recom­ mended to the full Board for Public Hearings. The document, which describes the Authority's plans for operations and capital improvements for the next five years, will be the subject of public hearings to be held Dec. 1 and 2 throughout the RTA's six-county region. In addition to the public hearings, the proposed program will be presented to each of the county boards, subsequently revised as necessary, and finally submitted for adoption to RTA's board of directors. The most significant aspect of the proposed program is that the RTA eliminated during FY82 the large negative fund balance incurred in FY81. The RTA was helped in this effort by reductions in expenses, and the receipt of federal grants for commuter railroad service in FY82. State legislation deferring $20.8 million payments, which RTA would have had to make to the state during FY81, FY82, and FY83, also aided RTA's financial position. To balance the budget for FY83, will, however, require additional revenues or expense reductions totaling *mf million. The proposed program provides a discussion of alternative means of achieving the balanced budget required by law. In addition, funds are included in the budget for interest expenses on 1982 Interim Financing Obligations, which have been issued in order ta reduce RTA's payable balances. The public hearings for the proposed Five-Year Transit program, Fiscal Years 1983-1987 on Dec. 1 and 2, will be held at 10 different locations within the Authority's six-county region of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake. McHenry and Will. Any person may present views at the hearings orally or by submitting written material not later than Dec. 9. Copies of the document will be available for public inspection in the RTA offices, 7th floor Reference room, 300 North State, Chicago. The documents will also be available at most public libraries and municipal offices in northeastern Illinois, seven days prior to the hearings. Public hearings are scheduled to be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m., and from 7:30 p.m. to conclusion. In McHenry county hearing will be held Thursday, Dec. 2, at the McHenry county courthouse, 2200 North Seminary avenue, Room 203, Woodstock.
