largest number of service calls in the
city. According to Commander William
Hanhardt, head of the 14th District
since April 1974, citizen call s for service
during the 8th period totalled 13,345 as
compared to the city-wide district aver­
age of 9,502 call s; during the 9th police
period, the district handled 13 ,310 ser­
vice calls while the city-wide average
was 9,285.
"I wish citizens used more discretion
when they dial 911 for the police,"
Neighborhood Relations Sergeant
Howe said . "Most of the calls are about
kids-kids gathering in lots ; kids play­
ing ball in the streets and alleys; kids
who are too noisy." lfwe could onLy con­
vince people to be more reasonable and
to call when something really happens,
such as criminal acts , "suspicious" per­
sons or activities, we could do a much
better job. Those other calls cut down
valuable patrol time."
Sergeant Howe gave two examples of
the ridiculous calls which are handled
by police. One involved a woman who
ca ll ed at 1 p.m. in the afternoon com­
plaining of sma ll children riding plastic
tricycles on the street in front of her
house .
In the second , a woman complained
she was afraid her neighbor would call
police because her 22-year-old son was
play ing his radio too loud . She wanted
the beat officers to tell her son to turn
down his radio .
The biggest problem in the district is
the youth gangs; the second is narcotics ,
and the two go hand-in-hand, said

Commander Hanhardt . The Shakes­
peare District has more gangs within its
boundaries than any other district­
with some 30 at last count. To a large
degree their activities are racially
motivated-white vs. Latino-with
each fighting to protect their neighbor­
hood or " turf."
Commander Hanhardtand Sgt. Howe
have met with gang leaders-members
on occasion. "We've had them come into
the station, sat down with them and
talked so that we cou ld gain some feel­
ing as to their problems in tela tion to
the community," Howe said. Comman­
der Hanhardt added:
"Our feelin g is this ... the police have
a respo nsibility to enforce the laws.
What some of our community groups
refuse to acknow ledge is that gang
members live here . .. they are resi­
de nts of the same community. The
police cannot gather them up and set
them somewhere else. And, as long as
the two groups have an effect on each
other, the least they can do is to sit down
and attempt to find a common ground
for understanding in order to so lve some
of their problems."
Commander Hanhardt said h e at­
tempted to set up a meeting with gang
leaders and one of the commun ity
groups which has been very vocal in
us'i ng the gangs as an issue.
"I wrote them a letter August 8th in­
viting them to a meeting with th e gang
leaders. As of this date, they sti ll have
not bothered to respond ," H a nhardt
said. "Frankly, I'm not too sure they
want to solve the gang problem-if they
did they would lose their "issue."

of great concern to those working in the
14th District. The Logan Square Boys
Club, for example, was started back in
1936 by the then commanding officer of
the station, Captain John Howe. The
members met on the third floor of the
Shakespeare station for many years
until they moved to their present loca­
tion.
For the last several years , Sgt. Howe
and Officer Ron Hull have conducted a
youth sports program by organizing
football , basketball, floor hockey,
softball, and other seasonal sports for
elementary school youngsters in coop­
eration with the Park District.
Last year, a girls' football team was
organized at the girls' request. The idea
of the sports program is to involve
youngsters in activities in an attempt to
influence them away from gangs and
narcotics. Said Howe:
"It's the kind of a program where
police and youngsters-boys and
girls-can work together and learn
about each other.
"The program has been successful.
Officer Colleen Austin,
Sergeant Terry Forbes and
Officer Dorothy Price con­
fer on assignments.
Many youngsters, some of whom are
now in high school, come back to the
station for assistance with various prob­
lems. Recently one boy came in seeking
help for drug addiction; another, sought
help for his parents who were having
problems ."
The sports program involves some
1,200 youngsters-boys and girls per
year. In addition, Sgt. Howe and Officer
Hull are often called in by the schools to
talk to patrol boy groups about safety;
and to youngsters who get into trouble
or have other problems.
The 14th District ended 1976 with a
5.7 per cent decrease in index crimes
and a 7.6 per cent in total crimes for the
year. The highest number of crimes re­
ported for the year were : theft,
burglary , and auto theft.

IiTinkers' jog for fun, find side benefits "At first it requires a real commit­
ment to be a daily jogger, but after a
short time you truly begin to enjoy it,"
said George Theisen, 1st District Loop
foot patrol, who recently ran in the first
Chicago Distance Classic, covering the
12.7 mile distance in less than two
hours.
Running 12 plus miles in less than
two hours averages to a little faster
than six miles per hour. This doesn't
sound too fast does it? Well, it's no world
record, but it certainly is respectable for
any runner , particularly when you con­
sider Theisen is 53 years old and that he
spent two weeks languish ing in an in­
tensive care unit of a hospital suffering
from a serious heart attack just two
years ago.
Shortly after he was released from the
hospita l and while recovering from his
illness, his doctor suggested that he
start jogging short distances. So
Officer George Theisen

Officer James Gehr (right)
of 1st District go through
stretching exercises be­
fore going out for practice
run with "Tinkers" running
club .
Theisen embarked on a controlled jog­
ging program, s lowly building his body
up to the point where he's running at
least eight miles per day. The program
was so successful that he began to enter
into competitive events and now does so
on a regular basis. A recent physical
examination revealed there was no
trace of his past heart ailment. "You
have to ha ve a pretty strong body to run
12 miles, because the last few miles
you're running on sheer guts," Theisen
said.
Theisen is not the only outstanding
runner in the 1st District, there are
many, 35 in all. Take for instance Police
Officer Tom Stanton, a nine year De­
partment veteran also assigned to Loop
foot patrol. When weather permits,
Stanton hoofs it to work abo ut three
times a week. Running from Western
Avenue and Howard Street to the 1st
District represents about 13 miles, then
pounding a walking post all day should
be enough to make a person a gold
medal winner. "Not so;' says Stanton, "I
still do some additional running and
quite often run with two of my four chil­
dren, Megan and Michael."
Stanton has entered numerous long
distance races in the middle west, in­
cluding three 26 mile marathons, plac­
ing very high in many of them. "Most
unattached joggers or runners, (no club
affiliation) enter competition for their
own personal satisfaction, but it's a real
good feeling when your club enters as a
team and they really do well. For exam­
ple, when we entered the Chicago Dis­
tance Classic , there were almost 6 ,000
runners, which included teams from the
University of Chicago and Villanova,
and our club finished in the top 26 perContinued on page 8

"How do you win a race when fellows
like Frank Shorter and Rick
Wolhunter, two of the nation's top run­
ners, and a few college hot shots are
running against you? Anyway, we're
sure running in good company and I
enjoy every minute of it."
When asked what it takes to be a suc­
cessful long distance competition run­
ner, Stanton replied:
"Training for long distance is a long
haul committment. You have to slowly
extend your distance over a period of
many months to minimize the stress ofa
long race. But, let us assume you're a
light trainer. Knowing this you decide
to run slow so you can at least finish.
However , most novice runners don't
know how to pace themselves and be­
come victims of their own impatience
and don't finish, or at best have nothing

ant John O'Malley watch "Tinkers"
work out.
left at the end. This also can happen to
the more experienced runners but notas
often. So it's a combination of concen­
tration, control and physical abili ty and
this is where my wife Cheryl comes in.
You can do all the training you want but
if your diet is poor you will never de­
velop your stamina to the point needed
to sustain yourselfin the long races . She
really goes out of her way to prepare the
right foods for me."
Stanton always has recognized the
value of physical conditioning and en­
joys running plus other physical sports.
However, it only has been in the last
three years that he has involved himself
in serious running . "Sometimes tennis
or handball partners are hard to come
by, but you can run anytime alone," he
said.
Stanton also is presently studying to
become a Deacon at St. Mary Margaret
Church and finds that running gives
him time to relax and meditate.
As the number of joggers began to
grow, Stanton, through the leadership
of Lt. John O'Malley and the coopera­
tion and considerable help from Com­
mander Paul McLaughlin, the 1st Dis­
trict running club was formed, and in
the past summer have merged with the
Training Division joggers, headed by
Director John Jemilo.
They ' have been entering into com­
petitive events under the club name of
the "Tinkers." (A "Tinker" is an Irish
gypsy who makes his living along the
road by his wits.)
O'Malley , the general manager, with
the help 9f Officer Tom Allison, their
public relations man, have carefully
formed the inner structure of the club.
The primary objective of the club is to
improve and sustain the physical fit­
ness of its members, and they are urging
all other members of the Department to
join them or start a club of their own. " It
is generally accepted that the key to
physical fitness and mental alertness is
the cardiovascular system, which in­
cludes the heart, lungs and blood ves­
sels. Studies have shown that regular
exercise, particularly of the endurance
type, such as jogging or running,
strengthens the cardiovascular sys­
tem:' O'Malley said.
Recognizing the obvious health bene­
fits derived from jogging, there also are
stresses ... pulled muscles and other
minor problems. When a new jogger is
brought into the club , he is strongly
urged to get a stress test from his doctor ,
so he knows what program to follow.
Fred Caito, trainer for the Chicago
Bears, has volunteered his time and in­
val uable advice on the do's and don'ts of
training such as the type of footwear to
use and the right surfaces to run on.
"Shortly after I beganjogging, one of my
knees began to swell. Caito asked me
what kind of footwear I was using.
When I told him, it was a good quality
shoe, he suggested a different type. I
continued jogging without interruption
and the swelling disappeared. He also
works with a number of Department
members with back problems," said Al­
lison.
The final objective O'Malley and Alli­
son are working on is official recogni­
tion from the Department so the "Tin­
kers" can enter competitive events as
representatives of the Chicago Police
Department.

022's softball
team made it to the championship game of the
Police Department league. After finishing the
regular season with a 6- 2 record, the team
started the playoffs by walking over 023 (win­
n ing by a forfeit). 016 then conquered bya score
of 16-15, with Ray Macey turning in the play of
the game tagging a man out at the plate while
lying on the ground . The next game pitted the
good guys against 009 and the good guys won
15-10. The semi-final match was against 006
from which most of us came and from which Tom
Quirk still was . John "Wacky" Byron pitched a
superb game, allowing only six hits as 006 was
shut out 8-0. That was the highlight of the
playoffs, because we lost the title game to Mass
Transit 17-8 . They came out fast scoring 13
runs in the first two innings which sealed the
fate of the game . A two out-six run rally in the top
of the seventh came too late and was too little to
affect the final outcome. It was a good season
and everyone had a lot of fun and drank a lot of
beer at the post game clubhouse meetings.
Marty Ryan ran the team with help from George
Demas and Don Duffy and kept everyone rea­
sonably happy . The others on the team were: Jim
O'Hara, Jake Jacoby, John Byron, Keith Dorng,
Mike Hughes the elder, Ed Todd, Tom Shannon,
Jim Quinn, Ray Macey, Mike Hughes the tall, Joe
Berglund, Jim Knighlly (who came over from 004
in a late season waiver deal), Pat Conlon, and
yours truly . .. Now back to other news from
0 2 2 ... Roger Busch vehemently denies rumors
that he was caught prowling the alleys of Mt.
Greenwood looking for returnable bottles ...
Kenny Freyer went to his summer place on his
baby furlough and wouldn't tell anyone where it
was. No one would talk to him when he came
Bob Desmond must have a printing
back
press in his basement, he just got a summer
place near KF's, and he won't tell where it's at
either . . . Jerry Shannon and Mike Leonard were
good this month but have an option on being
mentioned every so often . . . Pat McHugh has a
summer place and invited his team to spend a
day there . Are you listening, KF? .

023: Hello, crimefighters' ... Summer is over
and a lot of our personnel must take Labor Day
seriously- J. Fornuto and his wife , Debra, gave
birth to James Michael; Dave and Beth Nowak
were blessed with Matthew; Ralph and Shelia
Culver added Christopher John to their family ; P.
Flynn and his bride , Liz, premiered Sean Michael
into the world; J. Laskero took T. McQueeney's
wife to the hospital to give birth (that's a part­
ner); and from what I understand, there were a
few more births that I don't have details for.
Must have been a cold winter (or a poor TV
season!) ... Condolences to: Sgt. J. Eckeron the
death of his father-in-law; AI Frigo on the pass­
ing of his father; and, of course, we all offer our

his partner, " Crutch" of Starsky and Crutch

time getting to know his new son while he is
temporarily out of action.. Whadayawant­

pated in the Red Cross Blood Program recently.

Officer William Schober Officer Joan Gustafson Police Officers Joan C. Gustafson
and William Schober of the 20th Dis­
trict, for exhibiting professional action
in the apprehension of a burglar re­
cently, were awarded the honor of Police
Officer of the Month.
Gustafson was assigned to a burglary
on the 2200 block of West Arthur Av­
enue. While completing her report, she
heard Schober being assigned to a
burglary right next door.
The two officers met and agreed to
conduct a systematic search of the area,
during which time they heard other
calls of burglaries being reported.
While approaching a building from
which they had heard the sound of

block away. In the suspect's possession
was found a white pillow case and small
bag containing proceeds of the various
burglaries.
After taking the suspect to the dis­

revealed that he had committed the

DEPARTMENT COMMENDATIONS Patrol Specialist Ernest H arris,
22nd District, was on patrol in the area
of 95th Street and Racine Avenue early
one morning when he observed four
women walking toward an automobile.
Directly behind the women walked
three men , one of whom appeared to be
armed .
Harris turned and drove toward the
gro up . As he app roached, the suspected
gunman threw a revolver to the ground
and fled. The other two men began to
run but were apprehended by Harris,
who then notified the Communications
Center and gave a description of the es­
caping offender. The women informed
Harris that, as they were leaving a
nearby apartment building, the men
had announced a robbery.
While on patrol, Officers Don ald
B arnes and H enry P e nnington, 1st

Friend Indeed
Award
Police Officer Frank Kajari, 21st Dis­
trict, is the recipient of this month's
WGN "Friend Indeed" Award for his
off-duty capture of a strong arm robber
which led to the appreh ension of three
other offenders.
Kajari, while jogging in the forest
preserve at 6700 North Caldwell Av­
enue, heard a youth cry for help. He
immediately ran to the boy and dis­
covered that he was just robbed of his
money and bicycle by four older youths.
The officer searched the surrounding
area and eventually found one of the
offenders leaving the area on the vic­
tim's bicycle . Kajari gave chase and
Officer Frank Kajari
quickly apprehended the youth.
Kajari asked a passerby to notify the
police while he held the offender. The
other three youths were caught a short
time later by the arriving police.

* * *
As a result of the sharp increase in
arson cases within the Humboldt Park
and Old Wicker Park communities, in
the past year, a group of police officers
from Special Operations Group Areas 4
and 6, were assigned to a special mis­
sion to curb the outbreak of fires.
The arson mission , under the direc­
tion of Sergeant James Davern, con­
sisted ofOfficers Juan Acosta, Ronald
Armata, Robert Baade, Chester
Dzierzynski, Lon Nigro, Robert
Schaller, Anthony Zdziarski, Miles
Myers, and Louis Palikij.
From its inception, the Arson Mission
was confronted by two handicaps; there
appeared to be no motives behind the
crimes and that, because many of the
victims had been threatened by the ar­
sonists , citizens were reluctant to pro­
vide police with information.
The Arson Mission not only patrolled
the area in search of arsonists but took
every opportunity to talk with residents
in hopes of gaining their confidence.
The quick success of the group per­
suaded many citizens to come forward
with information which resulted in a
total of 24 arson and attempted arson
arrests in the first year of operation.
The Unit Meritorious Performance
Award was conferred upon the officers
for their exceptional professional skill.
Lanners, in response to a broadcast on
the 2200 block of North Leavitt Avenue,
discovered a man throwing bottles from
a window of a building at passersby.
When the officer attempted to talk to
him, Lanners was fired upon . Other of­
ficers soon arrived and were informed of
the situation .
McKeigue , having had previous ex­
perience with the subject, went to the
man's apartment with Nere and Keane.
There, he attempted to pursuade the

him in German. The offender refused
and pointed his revolver directly at the
officers, who fired at the man , fatally
wounding him.
Police Oficers Larry Pike and
Robert Stevens, 20th District, re­
cently responded to a broadcast of an
armed robbery at a grocery store on the
3000 block of West Devon Avenue.
The officers obtained a description of
the offender and immediately searched
the area, while checking other potential
targets for burglaries. As they were
checking another grocery store nearby,
they observed a robbery in progress.
They cautiously entered the store and
positioned themselves behind the two
armed robbers. The officers were able to
disarm the offenders without harming
the victim. Both suspects were taken
into custody and charged.

roll call for Human Relations Section
with (clockwise) Officers Wesley
Blaauw, Nathan Burton, Ed Preston,
Rudolph Brown, Frank Jasch and
Johnny Spencer.
Human Relations. • •
job with a pulse
Long Hours. You don't just put in
yo ur eight hours and go home and di­
vorce yourself from the activities of the
day if you are an officer in the Human
Relations Section. You are on call there,
too.
"There are many calls that I get at
home when someone needs help. They
know that they are not abandoned after
making the initial plea for help," said
Officer Rosella Clayborn, one of the 22
police officers assigned to the section.
Feeling the pulse of a community and
keeping an "open line " of two-wa y
communications has been an important
adjunct of the section ever since its in­
ception in 1948.
"We investigate any possible areas of
unrest that may loom up in a commu­
nity to try and defuse an explosive situ­
ation," said Lieutenant Ernest Taylor,
commanding officer of the Human Rela­
tions Section. "Our officers try to keep
in close contact with community or­
ganizations and their leaders . They a lso
look into racial, rel ig ious and nation­
alistic incidents, a nd investigate viola­
tions of statutes a nd ordinances regard­
ing civil rights.
"Their feedback helps the Depart­
ment keep abreast of a ny situation so
that it can be prepared to h ave adequate
police protection."
Clayborn, and her partner at the
time, Sergeant Ike Williams, were in­
strumental in recovering a gun from
some youths in an incident in which
"the youths tried to convince us was ra­
cially motivated;' said Clayborn.
"It was a case of knowing when a
yo ungster is n ot telling the truth. It
could have become a racial incident.
One of the youths was shot and they
tried to pass it off as though a white
youth had done it . But through constant
repeat interviews we finally convinced
the hospita lized young man to tell the
truth. He finally admitted that one of
Lieutenant Ernest Taylor his buddies accidentally shot him ;' sa id

Clayborn recently spent long hours
and days on a vandalism case trying to
help an elderly couple , who were vic­

timized by $19,000 in criminal damage
to their property.
"The property was ideal for van­
dalism and escape routes without the
offenders being seen by anyone," said
Clayborn. "After interviewing the
couple, I went to the district involved
and arranged for the Neighborhood Re­
lations and tactical officers to step up
special attention on the residence. The
Preventive Programs provided a survey
for better protection of their home and
suggested they have trees around the
property cut down for better visibility.
One of the couple's problems was not
having a telephone to notify police, so
we referred them to the Mayor's Office
for Senior Citizens to try and get the
deposit required waived."
"We are able to spend a lot more time
in different areas we are sent to and can
concentrate on a case," said Clayborn.
"We try to get to the human side of an
issue and gain respect from youths and
adults so that they know we care. That's
why I hope, someday , that officers as­
signed to the field could spend some
time in our section and see how it oper­
ates . I think they would learn the
humane side of police work, which we
look at differently."
The section's work isn't only in the
field of Human Relations. "We also re­
spond to other investigations while out
in the field;' said Williams. "We assist
beat cars on a ci ty -wide basis-whether
it is a felony or accident case. We have
startled other police officers when we
answer a radio call for police action in
an area we might be working. One day
we responded to a call of a burglary in
progress and officers arriving on the
scene were surprised. One told us 'we
didn't know you did any work' ."
To point up their cooperation with
other units in the field while investigat­
ing community incidents came while
concentrating on a case of an arson by
bombing in which a victim lost his hand.
Officers Madelyn (Maggie) O'Neill,
and Richard Spiegel were on the team
which went from house-to-house in the
investigation.
"We canvassed the neighborhood and
began interviewing all families that
live within the area to gather any possi­
ble information relative to the arson
case," said O'Neill. " In addition to the
many persons in the community that we
checked with, we worked closely with
other units-the district, Bomb and Ar­

monitoring what is going on, and what
the issues· are, we are able to report to

action to take."
However, Blaauw and Officer Henry

Tattered pieces of cloth, peach seeds,
two mismatched earrings, scraps of gift
wrapping paper, empty beer bottles­
all items you would quickly toss into the
nearest trash can. Everyone, that is, ex­
cept Josephine Duncan, senior clerk in
Records Processing. She has the talent
and ingenuity to transform this odd as­
sortment of "ju nk" into works of art.
If you happen to visit Duncan at
home, you would be amazed at the col­
lection of handmade creations she has
displayed throughout her apartment. In
one corner hangs an eagle made en­
tirely of multi-colored beads while in
another sits a beautiful bouquet offlow­
ers made of strips of metal from a dis­
carded jukebox .
On a table in her kitchen lives a whole
Lillputian community . What makes
this group oflittle people unique is that
their heads are made out of apples,
oranges , corn husks, prunes, hickory
nuts, clothes pins, and baking dough.
An appleseed model of Abraham Lin­
coln stands next to a woman garbed in
an authentic replica of a dress worn in
1790. Next to them, two prehistoric men
are locked in combat; one is created out
of hardened dough while a hickory nut
serves as the other's head. The shriv­
elled face of an old man peers at you
beneath a cap and gown at another end
of the table.
"The clothes a re the most difficult
part of the doll to make," said Duncan,
pointing to a prunehead bridal party,
complete with a maid of honor and
bridesmaids. "The bodies are made of
wire with either old nylon stockings or
cloth wrapped around it.
"You can achieve some interesting
results making figures out of fruit. This
one turned out to look like Jonathan
Winters, so I dressed him as the charac­
ter he portrays in the garbage bag com­
mercial."
While only God can make a tree, Dun­
can does a fine job reproducing the
beauty of flowers using wire and beads.
One of her more interesting arrange­
ments is a piece containing 50 flowers ,
each one representing a state flower . " It
required a lot of work," she said, "be­
cause to arrive at the true color of the
state flower, I had to dye many of the
beads myself. Some of the flowers, wi th
their fine detail, posed a problem."
Applehead recipe
l-Peel the apple and carve it into the general
shape you desire (for prunes, you would just have
to shape the fruit).
2-lnsert a thin wire through the core of the apple.
3-Roll the apple in lemon juice (it acts as a
preservative. The life of an applehead is 100
years.)
4-Hang the apple in the sun to dry. (Some people
place it in their oven; it may be quicker but the sun
method produces better results.)
5-Cross your fingers and hope it turns out the way
you want it. (You will learn from trial and error.)
6-When it's completely dry, roughly two weeks,
experiment with the head's features. Paint on
eyebrows, cotton or yarn from an old sweater will
serve as hair, and buttons and straight pins will do
for the teeth and eyes.
Another one of her remarkable
bouquets is a vase of mums, each one
containing more than four yards of
twisted aluminum. The vase is made
out of broken jewelry and bits of metal.
" Most of my work I give away to
friends and relatives," she said. Her
work table is littered with various
bracelets, belt buckles, and necklaces
she is currently working on as gifts.
Many of the stones in the jewelry she
has ground and polished herself.
"I try to show people the beautiful
things they can make out of almost any­
thing in their homes;' she says. "Espe­
cially for retired people on low incomes
with a lot of time on their hands."
Separating her living room from the
hallway is a curtain running the length
of the doorway. Nothing very remarka­
ble until you realize that it is created
from colorful wrapping paper and more

than 1,400 beads. "It was a tedious job,"
said Duncan, "requiring two hours of
work for each curtain stran d."
Duncan donates much of her work,
including a finely detailed wooden
model of the first jail in Illinois, to vari­
ous worthy causes throughout the city.
She constructs colorful Christmas trees
for institutions where live plants would
be impractical.
She is also a collector of antique
glassware, cream and sugar sets, and
salt and pepper sha kers . ''I'm very
proud of my collection;' she says, "but I
am prouder of my little creations. Any­
body can give of their time to collecting
but it requires a lot more work to make
something yourself."
