Page 14 - PLAINDEALKK-HKR ALD, WEDNESDAY . MARCH 20, 1985 Turning Point offers refuge to domestic violence victims Turning Point, Inc. is a McHenry County not-for-profit social service agency that offers support and assistance to family members involved in domestic violence. Support groups for battered women, abusive men and parents experiencing dicipline problems are operated by Turning Point volunteers. A family "Stressline" is an­ swered 24 hours a day, seven days a week by trained volun­ teers. The volunteers provide a non-judgemental listening ear, emotional support, assistance in developing alternatives to violence, and referral to other resources. All calls are con­ fidential and range from mat­ ters of crisis to requests for information. "Safe Homes" are available for family members who have left their homes due to violence. Having a refuge for a few days allows the battered woman the opportunity to assess her situation and determine what is best for herself and her children. This may involve returning to the home or starting a new life. An advocate meets with the woman to provide moral support and information. The advocate outlines options and resources available to a woman in McHenry County. For information, call the Turning Point office at 338-8081. For help call the stressline at 338-8080. Most Chicago-area residents favor seat belt law rcent believe seat belts save lives. By Deborah Collura Plaindealer Herald News Service The majority of Illinois residents recently surveyed by the Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) favor the mandatory regulation of seat belts. The recent public opinion survey, which was conducted by CATS in February at the 1985 Chicago Auto Show, revealed that 61.3 percent favor the new seat-belt law, according to Karen Richter, CATS regional systems analyst. The purpose of the survey was to measure public reaction to the new state law requiring mandatory use of seat belts by all front seat passengers, and determined compliance with the current child restraint law. Of those surveyed, 49 percent were from Chicago; 48 percent were from Illinois; and three percent were out-Of- state residents. The survey revealed that 58 percent of the participants currently use seat belts; 78 percent intend to comply with the new law; and 85 percent believe seat belts save lives. "We received a high response that people do believe seat belts save lives," Richter said, which may be the reason why the majority favors the new law. When the survey was broken down even further, findings revealed that 65 percent of females favor mandatory seat belt use, while 59 percent of males responding believe in the new law, Richter stated. , Highest seat belt usage was among those under 16 years old. And those least likely to use seat belts were in the over 45 age group. The state is projecting that 300 lives will be saved during the first year the seat belt law takes effect. The Illinois law becomes effective July 1, 1985. In the second part of the opinion survey, 92 percent said they would participate in placing their children in an ap­ proved chila restraint device. According to Bicunas, Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation reports show that actual experience reveals a 50 percent reduction in children's fatalities since the child restraint law went in effect several years ago. Landfill firm wants to re-open hearings By Angela Burden PtatadMlar Herald New* Service A request to re-open the public hearing on the McHenry County Landfill Inc. application for a landfill near Huntley has been made by the applicant's lawyers. The landfill firm claims that a preliminary review report by the county waste disposal consultants was suppressed by the state's attorney's office and not submitted, as required by law, to the county Regional Pollution Control Facility Committee when it considered the application. The county board denied the landfill ap­ plication last month. Service news BOB HEBER Bob W.

United Way hires budget director Lance Penny, a resident of Libertyville, has been hired as the director of budgeting and allocations for the United Way of Suburban Chicago. The United Way of Suburban Chicago is a federation of United Ways in Northeastern Illinois and is one of the allocating members of the United Way- Crusade of Mercy along with the United Way of Chicago. It represents 90 United Ways covering 200 suburban com­ munities. One of the primary functions of the United Way of Suburban Chicago is to allocate funds to its members from United Way- Crusade of Mercy dollars to help support human care and youth services in the suburbs. During fiscal year 1985 the United Way of Suburban Chicago has allocated $12,031,000. By making the request for re­ opening the hearing process, Crystal Lake lawyer James Militello emphasized in his notice to the committee that the applicant does not waive his objection to the committee's reported secret deliberations, which apparently violated the "letter and spirit of the Illinois Open Meetings Act." The committee, apparently at a nonpublic meeting last month, deliberated its recommendation to the county board in regard to the landfill application. The special county committee was unanimous in recom­ mending denial of the landfill application to the county board, which upheld the recom­ mendation. The committee conducted a lengthy public hearing on the application for location of a landfill on a 113-acre site north of Huntley. Many objections from residents of that area and from environmental groups were heard. The hearings and legal transcripts of them have cost more than $30,000, which, ac­ cording to county ordinance, must be paid by the applicant.
