)> CIHI Ward 'Yuppies' emerge as new voting population One of the most interesting facets of this year's presidential race has been the emergence of a new class of people I had never heard of before. For years, analysts, candidates, journalists and others involved with the loopy process of democracy talk about courting the black vote, the Hispanic vote, the women's vote. But the Yuppie vote? Who are these young, upwardly-mobile professional type 1 folk who've become the darlings for political pundits? and Gary Hart. Do any live in Illinois? Or do they all reside in Connecticut? Or more personally, am I a Yuppie? That sobering thought crossed my mind the other morning while I was knotting my upwardly mobile tie around my young professional type neck. I made a spot check of my apartment for signs of yuppie- ism: a wife named "Muffy," a drawer full of reptilian sports shirts and aerobic wear, somewhat tastelessly large gold jewelry. I found none. Looking out the window, I saw not a BMW (the ultimate yuppie-mobile), but my unreliable '75 Chevy. However, I wasn't totally convinced until I meticulously scanned the bumpers. No Gary Hart stickers to be found. I think the yuppie movement is closely aligned with the radical yippie movement of the 1960s. Look at Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, both leaders of the yippies. Rubin's now some big financial consultant and Hoffman spent several quiet years living in fashionable Long Island. Both probably voted for Gary Hart. I don't think either Rubin or Hoffman have lost their radical fire. They've just adopted the modern golden rule: Them that's got the gold makes the rules. Having money, considered tragic by the yippies, is a staple of the yuppie movement. I found this out when I went undercover to study the yuppie lifestyle. Jacques Cousteau originally planned to lead the expedition, but he bailed out when he found out we weren't mispronouncing "guppie." "Poor people are really a drag," one woman, identified only as Buffy, told me recently near the fruit juice vending machine of an exclusive Chicago area health club. She had just finished an aerobic workout and was brushing out her upwardly mobile hair. Being healthy is another segment of the yuppie lifestyle she said she's into (most people have interests, yuppies are "into" things). Buffy, a 30-ish vegetarian stockbroker who's into primal screaming, said yuppies have recently grown tired of controlling chic suburban school boards and the PTA and want national voices. Biff, her relationship partner (a "boyfriend," as some might say), said yuppies are into - * Gary Hart because he espouses the new ideas of the yuppie movement. , It really is quite fitting that the yuppies support Hart, or Hartpence, whatever his name is. He is a product of the most pablum-like period in recent cultural history, one that emphasizes form over substance. Don't misunderstand me, I think Reagan and Mondale are just as despicable, but they are the products of other eras and they gag me on different levels. Hart, on the other hand, shamelessly compares himself to John Kennedy, who probably was not our greatest president, but certainly was the only keeper out of the last six. One of JFK's most endearing qualities was his appeal to the youth of the nation, much the same as Hart is now doing. I don't think Dick Nixon could have inspired a generation of American youth to go dig wells in Botswana with the Peace Corps like JFK did. Hart is taking the same Kennedy bent--he's even trying to look like a young commodore of the Hyannis Port Yacht Club. There's nothing wrong with appealing to the glorious American past, but when Hart said "Ich bin ein Bridgeporter" during an emotional speech in the Con­ necticut primary, I thought he was pushing it. However, that doesn't seem to matter to the yuppies who admire Hart's youthful appeal (even though no one's sure quite how old he is) and his new ideas (although we really don't know what they are). "When Hart made a campaign stop out here and told the crowd 'Ask not what Oak Park can do for you, but what you can do for Oak Park,' that really told me something," Biff said professionally. It told me to head for the door. ~ry im A WONDER LAKE INN I FEATURING CHINESE & AMERICAN CUISINE • We're Celebrating Easter and our 7th Anniversary! Come Join Us! I 7th Anniversary | SPECIAL!

APRIL 18, 1984 SPRING GROVE CITIZENS COUNTER from p.«. i considering a permit ap­ plication, Keller said in a phone conversation with the press. Hie application is currently under consideration by a technical staff which will review the permit to see that it is in compliance with state regulations. Since receiving the letter from the EEPA April 10, Stinespring has contacted other abutting property owners in Nottingham Woods subdivision, individuals from local and county boards, and officials at civic, township, and state levels in order to determine who has received notification of the permit ap­ plication. "I was surprised I was the only one who received such a letter," Stinespring said. Sunday night's meeting was organized to disseminate in­ formation . on the permit ap­ plication to citizens from the Spring Grove area. Many of them expressed concern about possible health and odor problems they feel will ac­ company the sludge operation, similar to concerns expressed by Richmond residents late in 1982. Stinesgring^ctii^ person for the organizational meeting, urged those present to register their attendance. "By gathering here together, if there is something we can do, at least we have some formal organization," he said. In order to facilitate any possible action citizens may take, a formal fact-finding committee was adopted con­ sisting of local residents, with Stinespring acting as chair­ person. The committee is seeking legal advice and has invited Arnold May to attend a special meeting to discuss the proposed sludge operation. The meeting will be held at the Spring Grove Elementary School Wednesday, April 18 at 8 p.m. When contacted by the press, May declined to comment on whether or not he will be attending Wednesday night's meeting. He also declined comment on the permit application itself, but did in­ dicate he had authorized the EEPA to inform Stinespring that a permit bad been applied for. Stinespning stressed the purpose df the citizen's com­ mittee was to provide and gather information. "This will be nothing but a positive group. This will not be an anti- individual group. We are not attacking an individual. We are not attacking a business. We are here because we have legitimate health concerns." A resolution expressing those concerns was presented by Robert Martens and unanimously adopted by the citizens committee. The resolution expressed concern for the "health, welfare, and property values" of residents in McHenry County. It also voiced an objection to the IEPA's "failure to inform local governments of its in­ tended sludge disposal sites," as well as its failure to inform abutting landowners and other local and state officials. The resolution requested that the IEPA be advised to supply notice of any site or site renewal to be used for the disposal of waste, either toxic or non-toxic, and that such notice be served to all concerned bodies before the sites are considered. Comments and concerns developed by these governments should be con­ sidered and answered before the permits are issued. A copy of the resolution will be registered with the IEPA and McHenry County. Any action the citizen's committee may take will be decided once further in­ formation has been obtained, Stinespring indicated. The committee hopes that, if enough public support is generated, the permit ap­ plication may be withdrawn or revoked. The committee is checking into a possible ex­ tension ofthe May 4 deadline set by the IEPA and is also seeking information on a possible public hearing.
