SECTION 2 - PAGE 12 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY 25. 1S84 Slide show of prairie available The Friends of Veteran Acres Prairie, a committee of the McHenry County Chapter of Illinois Audubon Society, has prepared a slide show tracing the history of Veteran Acres Prairie, pointing out the effects of early glaciers, the Walkup family acquisition of the land, the purchase of the property by the Crystal Lake Park District, and their final dedication of 30 acres to be preserved as prairie. P r a i r i e m a n a g e m e n t techniques, such as brush cutting, burning and rein- troduction of native plants which once must have been there are depicted. Close cooperation between the Crystal Lake Park District and the School Districts 155 and 47 forms the heart of the Outdoor Education Program which has its headquarters^ at Veteran Acres Park Nature Center. The second slide tray provides a tour of the prairie through the seasons - from its winter sleep to its fall burst of glory. The Friends of Veteran Acres Prairie will lend the slide show to any interested group: schools, clubs, organizations, church groups, or even small family get-togethers. When needed, a speaker from the committee will accompany the program to expalin the work th£ group is doing. V To arrange for the use of the slide presentation, which takes 30 to 40 minutes contact Bill Wingate at 459-4985 or Margaret Marchi at 385-6047. \ SALE DATES JULY 25 -JULY 31 WHILE QUANTITIES LAST i 301 W.

This was a scene at Claire Noonan's beauty shop, located on/Green Street. The women standing are identifiers-JJulia Krolowiti, left; La Verne Engle, center and Alice Gaulke, far right. The customer at right receiving a per­ manent is the late Helfta Immelcus. Residents invited to support the CUB Illinois utility customers will be seeing something new in their July bills this year: invitations to join the new Citizen's Utility Board (CUB). With the opening of the CUB membership drive, Illinois becomes the second state in the nation to have a citizens ad­ vocate board to represent utility customers in rate-setting processes. Wisconsin was the first state to establish a CUB and was successful in saving utility customers there $43 million in its first year of operation alone. In April of 1983, Illinois voters in more than 100 communities sent the legislature a clear message-- they wanted a CUB as well. Last year, the General Assembly responded, passing legislation to create an Illinois CUB. The legislation provides that an interim 11-member board of directors will help get the CUB established and the July utility bill enclosures are the interim group's first major effort at getting the CUB un­ derway. The purpose of the CUB is to give utility customers the voice they want in the rate-setting process. Voluntary CUB membership contributions will be used to hire lawyers, researchers, economists, ac­ countants, and other experts to represent us, the consumers. The enclosures soliciting membership and contributions for the CUB were included in the July utility mailings by order of the Illinois Commerce Com­ mission. Printing and some other initial CUB costs are being financed through a one-time $100,000 loan from the ICC. The special loan was included undpr t h e p r o v i s i o n s o f t h e d u B legislation and must be repaid, with interest, by 1986. Eventually, the CUB will be governed by a 22-member board of directors, with one member from each of Illinois' 22 Congressional districts. The board will not receive any tax dollars, but will instead be financed by voluntary con­ tributions of $5 to $100 from concerned Illinois utility customers. "I am extremely pleased that the CUB bill was approved and that the organization is getting underway", commented state Rep. Dick Klemm. "Illinoisans have had it with skyrocketing utility rates: They hurt our business climate, our school systems and our individual budgets as well. But, they are particularly hard on older people, and others on fixed in­ comes." "The CUB is not going to wmSLmm will guarantee that our interests and concerns will be given equal hearing by the ICC. If we can judge by the success of the Wisconsin CUB, that citizens' voice will mean citizens' savings."
