NEWS-HERALD Southwest ‘Like a friend of the family ... since 1924’ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014 Volume 89, Number 20 75¢ Newstand Price Dore School parents plead for relief Addition sought to alleviate overcrowding at Clearing facility By Dermot Connolly A parent action group affiliated with Dore School attended a Chicago Board of Education meeting this week to plead its case for an addition to alleviate overcrowding at the school. The parents group has utilized social media as well, recently creating a Facebook page for parents and interested community members called Dore Mission Addition that already has more than 100 members. Among those who joined the PAC was former Dore LSC member Gerard Shultz. He and his wife, Bridget, a current LSC parent representative, have three children at Dore, a one-story school with pre-K through eighth grades. “The school was built for 400 students and there are close to 800 there now,” Shultz said Monday. Shultz said there has a been an overcrowding problem at the school, located at 6108 S. Natoma Ave., since his twin sons started there. They are now in sixth grade. Shultz and his wife also have a daughter in third grade. “The principal (Elizabeth Martinez) and See DORE, Page 23 A parent action committee has been formed at Dore School to lobby for an addition parents say is long overdue at the overcrowded pre-K-8 school.

(Submiited photo) Hauntings at St. Turibius, old Lourdes High School Halloween fun is just around the corner Today is Friday, Oct. 24. Next weekend we celebrate Halloween. I hope the weather’s nice so all the little ghosts and goblins can have a fun day trick-or-treating. Halloween is the No. 1 time of year that pets go missing. Some get frightened by all the costumes and some just see an opportunity with the door being opened so many times. Keep an eye on them. Someone posted a picture on Facebook the other day of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Ashland Avenue in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. When I was little, whenever we knew we couldn’t make church on Sunday we would go to a 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday night there. It took a while before other Catholic Churches had an evening Saturday Mass. Join SWOP (Southwest Organizing Project) for a Fall Assembly with Gov. Quinn Sunday, Oct. 26 at the corner of 62nd and Washtenaw, site of the “Reclaiming Southwest Chicago” initiative. This meeting is a follow up to a meeting in January. Gov. Quinn made a commitment to both the Reclaiming Southwest Chicago effort and new permanent supportive housing development. The primary focus will be to assess the progress on these two issues, plus push for new commitments of $150 million for affordable and accessible housing in the state capitol budget. If weather does not permit an outside meeting, meet at St. Rita of Cascia Church at the corner of 63rd and Washtenaw. For more information contact SWOP at (773) 471-8208. You can read more about SWOP at http://www.swopchicago.org. Joe Sharader, a longtime former resident of the Gage Park community, sent us some information about an upcoming event. He is writing on behalf of Tom Scanlon, who on Nov. 22, 2013 died of a rare neurological disease known as CJD. He died within weeks of showing symptoms and left behind an unemployed wife Karen Sala Gage Park correspondent 5351 S. Rockwell St. Chicago, IL 60632 (773) 471-1429 and two small children. Tom was born in Canaryville and later moved to Gage Park, attending St. Clare and then Brother Rice High School. The organizers of the event are looking for donations and sponsors of any kind (beverages, gifts, monetary donations) for a benefit to help Tom’s wife, Kim, pay medical expenses and to continue to support the family. Please join them on Nov. 15 at Gaelic Park in Oak Forest from 2 until 7 p.m. Tickets are $35. I will try to get more information as to how to buy tickets, etc. Joe has posted it on my Gage Park Chicago Illinois page on Facebook also.

Did you know that www.hauntedplaces.org has compiled a list of the most haunted sites in the state, and St. Turibius Church is on the list? It is claimed that the ghost of a priest named Father Joe Lechert lingers in the church, and both parishioners and altar boys say they have seen his ghostly figure and smelled his cigarette smoke. I’ve attended school and church there and have not witnessed this experience, thank goodness. Other neighborhood hauntings include the old Lourdes High School. Teachers and custodians allegedly have reported hearing footsteps and haunting music echoing through the halls. It is claimed that nuns who have died over the years haunt the school. On the third floor it has been said you can hear someone walking down the hallway. In Stritch Hall, shadows reportedly have been seen. The old Lourdes High School is now John Hancock High School, and reports allege the ghosts are still there. I do recall having some classes on the third floor, and those classrooms were a little creepy. And walking to Stritch Hall in the basement for choir practice was just as creepy. And of course there is the ever-popular Resurrection Mary. Since the 1930s, several men driving northeast along Archer Avenue have reported picking up a young female hitchhiker who is wearing a party dress. When the driver nears Resurrection Cemetery, the young woman asks to be let out disappearing into the cemetery. As the weather is getting colder and you are switching from summer to winter clothing, please keep in mind those that are in need of warm clothing. St. Richard Parish, 5032 S.

There will be boxes in the vestibule of the church starting in November. Super Bingo will be played this Saturday, Oct. 25 at St. Richard.

SOUTHWEST NEWS-HERALD Page 3 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014 Ray Hanania Southwest News-Herald Columnist Baby Boomer dreaming of days gone by As I sat at Midway Airport the other day waiting for a flight, I was remembering how the world has really changed, as most Baby Boomers my age do. I’ve written in the past how Midway was just an open air field on Cicero Avenue, and how my friend Mike Tarsa and I would fire Estes rockets across Cicero Avenue at the airport. There were no planes, and no terrorism, really, so it didn’t matter. The air traffic controllers, who lazily sat in the old tower, were intrigued and even helped us retrieve the rockets when they landed. But the changes from the early 1970s to today have to do more with society than the expansion of the airport itself. For its compact size, Midway Airport is phenomenally efficient. I’ve even changed my mind about Southwest Airlines, which I criticized many months back because of their confused boarding process. I tried Spirit Airlines and realized immediately how much better and cheaper Southwest Airlines really is. Hey, the airlines can’t be perfect, I guess. Just take off and land without any problems. It was the air commuters at Midway and later at Reagan National that intrigued me. Years ago when the cellphone first arrived in a large shoulder-strapped bag, the priority at the airport was to find an electrical outlet. Today, the new airport designs have electrical outlet stations all over the place, against every wall, with stand-alone computer desks right at the gate. It’s not easy to get one though, because every passenger has about three electrical items that need to be charged from iPhones, computers to iPods. People were circling like hawks looking for baby rabbits, waiting for an outlet to peek out from under the tall grass. Even seniors had headphones on, listening to who knows what on their old iPods and even a few with iPads. Southwest offered WiFi onboard the two-hour flight for $8. No food, though, besides a tiny bag of peanuts and a plastic cup for my Diet Coke. I spend the whole flight trying to get the WiFi to work so I could watch a movie on HBO GO, a subscription service tied to my expensive monthly Comcast Cable TV service at my home. Convenience has a high price, people. When I got home, I got back into my routine of driving my son the three blocks to his school. I don’t waste my time telling him I walked a mile and a half to and from school four times every day — we used to come home to watch Bozo’s Circus at lunch time at home, back when schools gave kids one-hour lunches. Today, the world is filled with serial killers, and 15-minute lunches, and lawsuits that blame everyone but the parents when a kid goes wrong. As I drive my son to school, I see the 10 kids waiting for the yellow school bus to pick them up. They’re not talking. Nearly every one of them, and all ages, are looking down at a cellphone texting their friends, while wearing earphones. They’re not talking to each other. People get really upset when we talk about gay marriage. Wait until the kids start to marry their machines. So I bring the puppy and I spend the entire ride talking to my son. It’s only 10 minutes, because I purposely drive under the 20 mph speed limit, like an “Old Man,” of course. Cars beeping behind me, or speeding around me. Where are the speed cameras when you need them? But it’s a lot more fun than talking to a computer. Ray Hanania is a former Chicago City Hall reporter and political columnist. Reach him at [email protected]. Republican Trustee Sharon Brannigan and Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd), running against each other in the Nov. 4 election, answer questions at a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters on Oct. 16 at Moraine Valley Community College. (News-Herald photo by Dermot Connolly) Lipinski, Brannigan air their differences at candidates forum By Dermot Connolly U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd) and Republican challenger Sharon Brannigan covered a lot of hot-button issues — from unemployment to Obamacare, immigration to Ebola — in their Oct. 16 forum at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills. Brannigan linked Lipinski to what she calls the failures and scandals of the Obama administration, while Lipinski stressed his independence and willingness to work with Republicans. Lipinski, who has been in office since 2005, noted that President Obama has not talked to him in the five years since Lipinski voted against the Affordable Care Act. Former Palos Heights Mayor Bonnie Strack moderated the event sponsored by the League of Women Voters. She described the meeting of the two candidates vying for the 3rd District Congressional seat in the Nov. 4 election as a forum, rather than a debate. In any case, it was well attended, with standing room only in the small theater. Lipinski and Brannigan shared a friendly handshake before sitting down to field questions submitted by audience members. In his opening statement, Lipinski said he shared the frustration many in the district feel due to the “ideological bickering” that has prevented Congress from getting much done. “I listen to my constituents, not party leaders,” he said. “I am a problem solver, maybe because I am an engineer.” Lipinski detailed his five-point jobs plan, which includes modernizing infrastructure; fair trade; strengthening manufacturing; and investing in education and innovation.

Serving the community since 1986 708-288-6265 Tony Venturella Certified Agent Call to make your appointment today at your home or my office Group Insurance Also Available Email: [email protected] Wed: www.venturellainsurance.com When asked what he would do about the Affordable Care Act, the health insurance law referred to as Obamacare, Lipinski said some changes needed to be made. He was among the few Democrats who voted against it. “Since then, people have realized that there are problems with it. But Republicans have stuck with the going-nowhere approach of trying to get rid of it entirely.” Lipinski supports “getting rid of funding for abortion” allowed in the law, and changing the definition of “full-time” from a 30-hour work week to 40 hours. “Workers are getting their hours cut because of it,” he said, referring to the rule that businesses with at least 50 employees must offer health insurance to fulltime employees. Brannigan grew up in Chicago’s Mount Greenwood neighborhood and lived in Oak Lawn before moving to Palos Heights, where she is a township trustee and business owner. Noting that “Obamacare” was what got her into the race, she said she opposed the “intrusive and overreaching policies” of the Obama administration. She described Obamacare as “the anvil on the backs of small businesses.” “I have a small business (a floral shop) that has created local jobs. I need to be able to hire more people,” she said. “Citizens and business are leaving Illinois entirely. It is not a business-friendly state.” Brannigan said she believes “getting rid of Obamacare,” and cutting the corporate tax rate from 39 to 20 percent, would result in such a growth in the economy that the $17 trillion national debt could be slashed. She said every government department should cut budgets by 1 or 2 percent.

SOUTHWEST NEWS-HERALD Page 5 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2014 Joe Boyle Southwest News-Herald Columnist Living in fear isn’t really living We seem to live in fear these days. I don’t know if it is due to the screaming headlines on TV, online or the print media. Perhaps it is just because of the world we live in. Some people talk to me about the Ebola crisis in our country. Crisis? If you live in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone, then you are not only dealing with a crisis but an epidemic. Over 4,000 people have died from the disease in those West African countries. As of Tuesday, one person has died in the United States because of Ebola. Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, died in a Dallas hospital on Oct. 8. Two nurses who had some contact with Duncan have contracted the disease. So, far that’s been it. That does not make it an epidemic. It should also be reported that the two nurses are said to be recovering. Most likely more people will die in the U.S. from the flu this winter than Ebola. Ebola is a serious virus. But this disease is treatable. Educating ourselves about this disease can go a long way in curbing some of the hysteria out there. Along with this latest saga we have an election to deal with. On Tuesday, Nov. 4, for voters who have not voted early, a decision will have to be made on various state offices. The main event is the governor’s race between Democratic incumbent Pat Quinn and his GOP opponent, Bruce Rauner. If you witnessed any of the debate that took place on Monday night, you might agree that instead of Channel 7 hosting this event maybe Vince McMahon should have stepped in. Instead of podiums, perhaps a boxing ring or wrestling mat would have been more suitable. We have just over another week of this. But another election is just around the corner. Chicago residents will have to prepare for the mayoral and aldermanic elections in February. While some readers have expressed a sense of weariness about the barrage of negative ads in the Quinn-Rauner race, perhaps it takes our minds off other daily struggles. The ongoing stalemate in the Ukraine continues to drag on as Russia’s stubborn leader, Vladimir Putin, continues to say he is providing assistance to Russian supporters on Ukraine soil. The citizens of the Ukraine have a different view, of course. Continuing economic sanctions may be the only way to reach Putin. Perhaps draining Russia’s pocketbooks is the only to way to handle Putin’s ego. With the emergence of Ebola, cable TV talk shows are aghast that not enough is not being done to prevent the disease from spreading in this country. Of course, just over a month ago ISIS was the continuous topic. On many of these radio and TV gabfests, these armchair experts blame President Obama for the emergence of ISIS and yes, Ebola. An argument can be made that a more urgent response toward ISIS should have taken place. Unfortunately, we are going to be dealing with other armies of renegades in the future. I say continue to bomb away when dealing with these heartless, cold-blooded murderers. To wage a war on the ground seems absurd. We have spent over a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan, and where has it got us? The lesson here is that some logic should always be the first consideration before waging wars that have no boundaries. Many residents are anxious. It is difficult to remain upbeat when you are without a job. It is difficult to remain optimistic when you are working at a couple of low-paying occupations. I’ve already heard from several people who are worried about the coming winter. They are concerned that another polar vortex is going to rush in like a glacial sledgehammer. My answer to that is: Anything is possible. But why worry before it happens? Hey, we have Halloween fast approaching, and Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner. In other words, lighten up a little. Joe Boyle is the managing editor of the Southwest News-Herald. He can be reached at [email protected] Cong.

She was appointed by Mayor Daley in 2000 and has won four elections. Thomas, chair of the council’s education committee, did not provide a specific reason for stepping down. A lawyer with degrees from the University of Illinois and DePaul University, Thomas was not available for comment on Tuesday. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel praised Thomas’ years of service. “For nearly 15 years, Ald. Latasha Thomas has been a champion of the residents of the 17th Ward that she serves, including dedicating herself to increasing the investment and economic development needed to push forward change in her neighborhoods and communities,” Emanuel said in a statement. “Latasha has also been a tireless advocate on education issues critically important to Chicago’s children and families — from expansion of early childhood education to full day kindergarten. Her colleagues and I will miss her in City Council, and we wish her the very best.” While Thomas provided no reason for not seeking re-election, she did mention on a couple of occasions this summer that she was considering retirement.

Postmaster: send address changes to: Southwest News-Herald, 7676 W. 63rd St., Summit, IL 60501 The right way to treat Ebola at home and abroad An epidemic of Ebola virus disease (EVD) is raging in three West African countries. It has been contained in two West African countries, and is confined to a handful of cases among health care workers in the United States and in Spain. These facts bear remembering whenever any of us watch misleading television coverage or listen to politicians disgracefully fear monger on this tragic issue. Ever since the bubonic plague depopulated Europe in the Middle Ages, epidemics have triggered hysteria and have captivated publics with terror, dread and helplessness. Ebola is no exception, but it needn’t be. This newspaper had the privilege of being briefed on the Ebola virus last weekend by an official from Partners in Health, the Boston-based global health organization that cares for the poor in the most impoverished corners of the planet. The discussion left us hopeful, but wary. The know-how to combat the spread of the virus exists, provided hysteria-driven politics does not get in the way. A proposal sponsored by Chicago aldermen Ed Burke (14th) and Mike Zalewski (23rd) to test passengers arriving at Midway and O’Hare International airports who have traveled to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea is appropriate and seems reasonable in spirit. However, residents of our community must not lose sight of the enormous power to do good that American knowledge and resources can bring to the table beyond our shores. In coming months, Partners in Health will help to operate as many as 15 new clinics in the countryside of Liberia to contain the Ebola crisis. The facilities will be built by the U.S. government and staffed by American and foreign health care workers. The French and British governments will each handle similar programs in Guinea and Sierra Leone. Here’s why such efforts matter to us here in Chicago; why our taxpayer dollars are well spent on this crisis; and why talk about quarantining West Africa is the exact wrong thing to do right now. The Ebola epidemic actually began in Guinea in December 2013 and then spread to Liberia and Sierra Leone this year. A small outbreak of 20 cases then occurred in Nigeria, where it has been contained, and one case occurred in Senegal, where the outbreak was declared over two weeks ago. Yes, outbreaks of Ebola can be contained. They can and have been in two African countries; they can and will be in Europe and they can and will be in the United States. Here’s how. Whenever a case of Ebola is reported, health professionals swarm people who have been in contact with Ebola victims to see if the virus has been transmitted to them. Everyone must be monitored for 21 days and, if necessary, quickly treated. This is an enormously labor-intensive and medicine intensive-undertaking. And it requires sufficient facilities. This leaves relatively wealthy countries such as the United States, Britain and France best equipped to contain the spread of Ebola within our shores and within the three West African countries where the epidemic is raging. Failure is not an option. Reversing the rate of Ebola infection in three far-away African countries is clearly in this country’s national interest. And yet, doing so raises the risk of transmission to our health care workers. This is a risk worth taking. Secondary infections of medical workers in the United States and in Spain have, in fact, occurred, but have yet spread to the general population. Meantime, more than 9,000 cases have been reported in three tiny West African countries, resulting in 4,500 deaths. If the epidemic continues to go uncontained in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, then as many as 10,000 new cases a week could be reported in those countries by January 2015, says the World Health Organization. In some areas of West Africa, people have become suspicious of both the government and hospitals; some hospitals have been attacked by angry protesters who believe that the disease is a hoax or that the hospitals are responsible for the disease. Many of the areas seriously affected by the outbreak are areas of extreme poverty, with limited access to soap and running water to help control the spread of disease. The United States, our British and French allies, are uniquely qualified to contain and to reverse the spread of the Ebola epidemic. And we should do so, because we can. Self-interest dictates we face our fears with stoicism and resolve and allow those among us who can actually solve the problem the support and resources to do so. Letters to the Editor Stop flights from West Africa Ebola affected Liberians and other West Africans who can obtain plane tickets will be headed to the United States. How many more can we handle coming into our country? We only have a handful of hospitals that are currently equipped to handle Ebola. Each of these has only four or five equipped isolated treatment areas. I have friends in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria. We must help them by providing West African hospitals with what they need to fight this fatal disease. America spends billions on war every year. Spending a few billion on equipping West African hospitals and training staff will be a great investment in saving our planet. I hope the West African nations will help us financially since our nation is broke. Closing commercial flights from this part of the world is a prickly idea for many. We have Americans who are living or visiting in Liberia who need to get back to America. We can screen them and fly them home. Medical teams, equipment and tons of medicine must go to these areas. There are plenty of planes that can be booked for the months and probably years of Dick Durbin has his respect and his vote I will be voting for Democrat Dick Durbin in the Illinois U.S. Senate race. Senator Durbin, without a doubt, is one of the most respected and effective senators in the nation. He has led an exemplary effort to raise the the national minimum wage, and has common-sense, people-first solutions to the issues of our day. Do we really need a senator who, with his party, wants to lower corporate income taxes? This at a time when corporations are more profitable than any time in our nation’s history? How much more greed do we need supporting big oil and big pharma and the rest? Durbin provides solid thinking and a common man’s approach to government. We desperately need another six years of his leadership in the Senate. I wholeheartedly support Dick Durbin for U.S. Senate. —Ed Kozak, Chicago’s Garfield Ridge medical service that will be demanded. This will not be a permanent situation. However, we cannot allow everybody to board planes to the United States and circulate in our country while spreading Ebola. Securing our borders from illegals, drug traders, ISIS and Ebola is a task that seems almost insurmountable. We are not winning the war on border security. We don’t want to lose the Ebola war. There must not be any surrendering in this area of national security. A few hundred Ebola cases in this country would be more than we could handle. The real answer to the Ebola crisis is finding a cure. More than ever we need billions of dollars invested in medical research. Millions of Americans simply endure and live with disease instead of beating disease. We are desperate for a new era in America’s medical research. It’s time for a cure for cancer, neurological disease and Ebola. —Dr. Glenn Mollette Newburgh, Ind. YOUR OPINION IS WELCOME The Southwest News-Herald welcomes the opinions of our readers.

The “anniversary” years always seemed like good ones to focus on: 25, 50, and 75. Even if we didn’t live through those times we learn a lot about our neighborhood heritage. So, that is why I chose 1964 as the year we might spend some time visiting. Fifty years is a good benchmark. Boy was I disappointed. I’m just going to give it to you straight. Here’s the first headlines I encountered during the Fall of 1964: Bullet Fired at Robbers Kills Woman; Youths Lead Police on Wild Chases; Woman Dies At Daughter’s Funeral; New Parking Lot Opens; Police Captain Blames Residents for their Problems. Here’s the surprising scoop on the last one. Receiving many complaints from parents because their children were being beaten and harassed by a gang frequenting the area, the district commander put the blame for the children’s problems on their parents, asking how many knew where their kids were in the evenings and after curfew. He said, “The simplest way Kathy Headley Chicago Lawn & Marquette Manor 6610 S. Francisco Chicago, IL 60629 (773) 776-7778 to keep children out of trouble is for parents to say no, occasionally.” Lori H. was the first one to get last week’s 1964 kick-off question correct. Thanks to everyone who called. I love hearing from you. What was at 2522 W. 59th St.? It was the Certified grocery store Markvart’s. On sale this week 50 years ago was McLaughlin’s Manor House Coffee, 3 lbs. for $1.99. Let’s check out that new parking lot story. The article was referring to two of those self-park metered lots. Mayor Richard J. Daley came to cut the ribbon for the new lot at 63rd and Western next to the Hi-Way Theatre. The second lot would be at 63rd and ‘Young Frankenstein’ to be screened at library A free screening of the 1974 movie “Young Frankenstein” will be held at 2 p.m. today (Friday, Oct. 24) at the Oak Lawn Library, 9427 S.

It didn’t seem exciting enough to make the headline but as I read on I found it was a unique arrangement between the Marquette Manor Chamber of Commerce and the city in which local merchants guaranteed the financial success of the lots. The lots needed to bring in a return of $60,000 over a 10-year period to pay for themselves. If meter collections did not cover the $6,000 per year needed to operate both lots, the chamber would pay the balance through contributions from its members. The idea of a community guaranteed city parking lot was first presented in 1957. A special ordinance allowing it was passed in 1962. So, in all, it took seven years from the idea’s inception until the project was completed. It’s another example of how perseverance by community groups can get things done. It just takes a lot of time to get the ball rolling. Here are the names of some of the Chamber leaders who worked toward the success of the project: John F. McCarthy, John Pakel, Edward Parkey, Hy Warsham and Max Shapiro. Can you pair them up with their businesses back in 1964? We accept Medicaid/Medicare and most other insurances TAX CENTER INC.

Central Ave., Chicago, attended the International Order of the Golden Rule (OGR) Fall Forum educational seminar in Nashville, Tenn., on Oct. 10. Central Chapel and fellow members helped raise money for Habitat for Humanity in Tennessee by generating new ideas designed to enrich funeral ceremonies for families and improve their ability to help families in their time of need. For every idea raised, a donation was made to help low income families fulfill their dreams of home ownership. “The meeting provided valuable opportunities to gather with my fellow OGR members,” said Moynihan. “We learned practical tips from experts in the fields ranging from aftercare to new trends in funeral service. Each offered ways to revitalize funeral homes’ value to their communities by providing healing aftercare programs and helping families define truly valuable funeral ceremonies.” Founded in 1928, OGR is an association of funeral homes whose members join by invitation only. OGR firms tend to be the more progressive or exceptional firms in their market areas. “Attending the Fall Forum is a re-energizing experience which helps us to improve the services we offer to families here on the Southwest Side,” said Moynihan. “I always enjoy gathering with other OGR members who share our mission for providing the most distinctive service at the most affordable cost. Those two things go hand-inhand for us.” Moynihan Niego Real Estate celebrates its 20th year Niego Real Estate, 6625 W. Archer Ave., Chicago, celebrated 20 years of service for the city neighborhoods of Clearing and Garfield Ridge on Sept. 27. Opening its doors in September, 1994, the owners of Niego Real Estate said they have become the premiere real estate office on Chicago’s Southwest Side, helping over 3,600 families with their real estate needs. Joe Niego and Paul Hendershott, of Niego Real Estate, attribute the company’s success to an emphasis on strong family values. They believe that all clients should be treated like one of the family. The purchase of a new home or sale of a lifelong residence is one of the most important and emotional event in someone’s life, according to Niego. “There is nothing more rewarding than helping a senior citizen in the neighborhood, who is anxious and nervous, sell their home with joy, or assisting a first-time homebuyer achieve their American dream,” said Niego. “We love what we do.” The staff at Niego Real Estate said that Hendershott is one of the “most optimistic and successful realtors in the Chicago market today.” The staff said that he can be found daily in the neighborhood bringing a record number of buyers to see their next home. “We definitely live in interesting times,” said Hender- Staff members at Niego Real Estate, 6625 W. Archer Ave., Chicago, have some fun dressing up as characters from the “Wizard of Oz.” Niego Real Estate celebrated its 20th anniversary last month.

(Submitted photo) St. Laurence students explore reasons for fatigue during school The St. Laurence High School Anatomy and Physiology classes explored the reasons why high school students have the tendency to be tired during school. They used their knowledge of body systems and the levels of organization displayed by these systems to test a pos- sible solution to the fatigue problem. Students tested a number of different solutions. Solutions ranged from eliminating electronic devices before bedtime to exercising before bedtime as mechanisms to improve sleep patterns and eventually decrease tiredness during school. Many groups saw improvements in sleep patterns and provided a great learning environment with classes of fully attentive and awake students. St. Laurence is located at 5556 W. 77th St. in Burbank.

Central Ave., Burbank, sold pink raffle tickets and raised over $683 for Susan G Coleman Cancer Awareness Foundation. (Submitted photo) Ebola Officials at Advocate Christ Medical Center, 4440 W. 95th St., Oak Lawn, say they are making preparations to deal with the Ebola virus. (News-Herald photo by Joe Boyle) Continued from Page 1 for stepping up for our city and our nation.” Officials at Holy Cross Hospital, 2701 W. 68th St., Chicago, said preparations have been taking place the last couple of weeks in regard to Ebola. “There have been discussions and sharing of basic information about the Ebola virus,” said Dennis Ryan, a spokesperson for Holy Cross, now a member of the Mount Sinai Health System. Ryan said the staff at the hospital has been studying information about the disease that has resulted in over 4,000 deaths in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. He added that the staff at Holy Cross is currently learning the proper protocols for treatment of the disease. Hospital officials from the city and southwest suburbs have said communication is key in dealing with the Ebola virus. Officials have noted that the disease is not spread through the air like the flu. The two nurses in Dallas who contracted the Ebola virus most likely got it from coming in contact with the patient’s bodily fluids. Both nurses were in contact with Liberian national Thomas Eric Duncan, the first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the U.S. Duncan died on Oct. 8. While local hospital officials have stated that it is unlikely that the disease will spread in the Chicago area, the anxiety and fear of Ebola have created tension. Last week, a patient at Advocate Christ Medical Center, 4440 W. 95th St., Oak Lawn, was believed to have the Ebola virus. However, staff at the Oak Lawn hospital pointed out that the person did not have the Forum Continued from Page 3 “It would be immediate. Businesses want to stay here and grow,” she said. Brannigan wants to bring the corporate tax rate to 15 percent permanently and favors “a reasonable flat tax.” Lipinski said tax reform is needed, but because of loopholes, few corporations actually pay the 39 percent rate. He said the loopholes must be closed if the rate is reduced. “Everyone agrees that the national debt is too high and must be brought down. But there are no easy solutions. Everything has to be put on the table and dealt with on a virus, only symptoms of the flu. It was initially believed that the female patient had visited West Africa recently. Hospital officials learned later that the woman had not been to West Africa. However, staff at the hospital knows major concerns persist. But the administration at Advocate Christ Medical Center said they are preparing for methods of treatment in case a patient does have the disease. Better communication between hospitals, along with federal and state departments, will help in dealing with Ebola quickly, an Advocate Christ Medical Center spokesperson said. “We have been preparing for Ebola for over two weeks,” said Kelly Cusack, a spokesperson for Little Company of Mary Hospital, 2800 W. 95th St., Evergreen Park. Carol Hoffman, MT, CIC, the infection preventionist at Little Company for the past 21 years, said she tries to relieve the fears of people who have questions about Ebola. That would include nurses. “You would not get infected unless you are with a person in the later stages of the disease,” Hoffman said. “They (medical personnel) are dealing with a patient and bodily fluids from vomiting could spread the disease.” Cusack and Hoffman said guidelines for treating Ebola patients have changed rapidly since the situation in Dallas. Sharing information and gaining more knowledge about the disease is crucial, they both said. “We are coming into the flu season,” Hoffman said. “There is so much fear out there because the mortality rate for the disease is 50 to 70 percent. I want to assure everyone that this is treatable. There are just a lot of myths out there.” In Chicago, Emanuel and CDPH said they are prepared. More than two months ago, the city began working directly with local hospitals and providers to make the necessary preparations. “Chicago is strong and knows how to work together to get things done,” said CDPH Commissioner Bechara Choucair, M.D. “By creating a network of providers we are going above and beyond national guidelines to ensure that our city remains healthy and safe from infectious disease.” bipartisan basis.” He said any tax reduction would have to be made up somewhere. While the deficit has gone down in recent years, and spending was cut by $1.2 trillion over the past 10 years, the deficit has to be cut by about $2.5 billion over the next 10. “We cannot saddle our children and grandchildren with this large debt,” Lipinski said. Brannigan got a standing ovation from her supporters at one point when she listed a litany of crises. She blamed Obama for them, and linked Lipinski to them. Brannigan contends that Lipinski was in favor of an “open borders” policy because he did not vote for a bill that would have denied entry to all migrants from Central America who were flooding to the border during the summer. However, Lipinski said that while he has supported funding for border security and fencing, the bill in question was too far-reaching, and would have affected youths already living here and given temporary legal status. Asked about the Ebola crisis, both candidates agreed that the Centers for Disease Control did not handle the situation very well. Brannigan said she wanted all travel visas withdrawn for people coming from the three West African countries dealing with Ebola, and Lipinski said no visas for people coming on vacation should be issued. vice principal (Sean McNichols) have been very resourceful, but they are out of ideas,” Shultz said. In addition to having seventh and eighth grades in mobile units outside, Dore has teachers and other staff using closets for offices, Dore said. “We have art on a cart” due to the lack of an art room, Shultz said. “And library books are at different locations around the school. “I understand that the vice principal’s office is now in the boiler room with the engineer,” he added. Shultz said parents have been in touch with Ald. Michael Zalewski (23rd) about the issue. “It took us five years to get a new playground,” Shultz said. The new playground equipment was installed this year. He said parents are frustrated because they have seen new additions go up at other area schools, including Hale, at 6140 S. Melvina Ave., as well as improvements at Kennedy High School. He said they are wondering when their turn will come. “Despite the overcrowding, the test scores we put out are at the top,” said Shultz, noting that Dore is rated a first-level school. However, he said children in the special-needs program often have to relocate to another school after fourth grade, because “we just can’t fulfill their needs” due to the space limitations. “That disruption is hard on them,” he said. A woman with a daughter in second grade who just joined the action group, and was dropping off some paperwork at Dore on Tuesday, said the school is definitely in need of an addition. “The principal has been very attentive,” she added, explaining that when the number of students in her daughter’s class rose above 40, a third second-grade class was immediately opened. “But there is no more room for expansion,” she said. The woman, who did not want her name used in this story, said she planned to attend the Board of Education meeting. “This will be my first time,” she said, explaining that she joined the parents action group because she heard that if there is no addition, the gym will be divided into classrooms next year. “Then we won’t even have a gym. We definitely need an addition,” she said before hurrying away. A request for comment from Chicago Public Schools officials on Tuesday was not answered in time for deadline. Assault Continued from Page 1 was treated. It was later confirmed by hospital officials that she was assaulted. Stiggers was charged after investigators learned that his DNA matched evidence taken from the victim’s sexual assault kit, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said. Cook County Judge Stanley Sacks sentenced Stiggers to the 71year prison term during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Courts Building.
