What One Person Can Do When Joe Pardo was 29, his life came crashing down around him. Suddenly blinded, he had to give up his Job as an insurance salesman because of the paperwork involved. It could have been the end of everything for him, but it wasn't. Learning to become a masseur to support himself, Mr. Pardo also became in­ terested in sports, and began working out on his own. "I learned how to pfay basketball blind with my teammates telling me where the basket is," says Mr. Pardo. "I also got involved in boxing. I listen for my opponent's breathing." But his favorite sport is running,For the past six years, Mr. Pardo, now 51, has run in the twenty-six mile Boston marathon. Rising at 4 or 5 a.m., he runs every day. "When I run alone, I forget my troubles. It's beautiful - just me and God." "An excellent athlete, Joe Pardo coaches youngsters in New York city's Police Athletic league. In 1974, his boys won the All-City title for the relays. "Joe is really a remarkable man*,",: says PAL Executive Director Conrad Ford. "The kids on his track team work hard for him. He sets the example for them to do their best." Each of us has a choice at some time during life - to overcome and change things, or to be overcome, Joe Pardo chose to overcome, and his full life more than demonstrates the wisdom of his choice.

(RT. 31) McHENRY 815-385-8570 Guide To Travel By Gojan Nikolich Smothered by the weekly "what-to-do" doldrums and want an alternative to scam­ pering blindfolded across the Grand Canyon on a piece of dental floss? Then try <y canoeing-in Illinois. Though they won't match the thrill of tumbling over Niagara Falls in a big paper cup, Illinois' numerous canoe trails Jo provide some of the best watersport fun in the midwest. With turbulent rapids not un­ common, the state's system of rivers and backwoods streams makes, canoeing accessible to anyone willing to learn a few basic rules of safety. In fact, if a person can take a bftth without drowning, he probably has enough inherent smarts to grasp the essentials of this ever-growing Illinois pastime. So where does one go? There are choices: - Historic Sangamon With a predominant sand and gravel bottom, a mostly forested shoreline and the added Lincoln legend which surrounds it, the Sangamon river is suited for both the beginner and veteran canoeist. A suggested trip goes from - Lincoln Homestead State park (Rt. 36 west of Decatur) to New Salem village where Lincoln lived for six years before en-, tering Illinois politics at the old statehouse at Vandalia. Hie journey should take about three days with an overnight rest scheduled At Springfield with camping facilities at Carpenter park near Rt. 66. After a portage at Springfield, it's a long day's, paddle to New Salem where one can exit the rivet- at the Grist mill off Rt. 97. Here, (me can visit restored log buildings, shops, a country school and the RuUedge tavern where Lincoln worked during the 1830's. The little village is one of the best restored communities in the nation and also features an outdoor play slated each night except Mondays during the summer. DesPlaines Trail Though one is not likely to catch any rainbow trout in this metropolitan area sfaretm, the DesPlaines does offer miles of wooded shoreline and good practice for the traveler who needs a pleasurable , in­ troduction to canoeing. The best route runs from Libertyville to Dam Number two-the site of the annual DesPlaines river Canoe marathon which usually draws over 1,000 paddlers from throughout the midwest. The only dtlhger of a DesPlaines journey is the lack of warning signs and an oc­ casional "check dam" which may be hidden under high water. There is a check dam east of Rt. 176. . T The half-day jourAey from Willow Springs to Lemont road poses a possible danger at the old Santa Fe railway crossing where wooden pillars may be hidden during )iigh water periods. The DesPlaines, however, makes up for its proximity to Chicago by flowing quietly through a variety of forest preserves and seemingly isolated woodland...a real treat for the canoist who neither has the inclination or the time to travel a great distance for a weekend or afternoon trip. Another city rives is the north branch of the Chicago river. Flowing for seventeen miles from Skokie lagoons to Foster street, the north branch courses through forest preserves, city parks and provides varied scenery. Skokie lagoons might be a good place for the novice canoe buff to practice. The lagoon channels interconnect and provide an easy six-mile route. Fall colors in this area are also recommended by local canoeists. Spoon River Sometimes haunting, usually heavily forested and always a good bet for the traveler wanting a different view of the valley 'that poet Edgar Lee Masters set to verse decades ago, the Spoon covers 120 miles from Elmore to Havana. Campers can find overnight spots at London Mills (in the city park) and at Ellisville. Hie only dam on the Spoon river is located at Bernadotte where there is also a small park and restaurant. If water levels are high one may be able to paddle the dam. If not, then portage a good distance upstream to avoid the swift current pull toward the dam. Below Rt. 95 one will find scenic bluffs and occasional veins of coal along the riverbandk. A suggested exit from the river is at Rt. 78 west Of Havana. LowerFox • « . Although the Fox river canbe canoed even at its northern glacial lake region, the lower portion of the stream has proven to be a favorite among most Illinois canoeists. Begin the trip at Yorkville where one will paddle down­ stream for thirty-five miles. Points of interest along the route include the settlement at Norway, the Fox dells, the site of an Indian massacre and the Wedron spa with its sulphur springs. A good autumn canoe^rip - begins at Yorkville and neadis downstream where hardwood trees are said to be extremely colorful. Also along this segment of the Fox is an old three-story stone mill and nearby Black Hawk cave. Beginning at Sheridan, high 'cliffs of St. Peters Sandstone line the river's edge all the way to springs at Wedron. Perched atop one of these Muffs is the dried stump of a 640-year old red cedar tree which, until it was destroyed by vandals several years ago, was the oldest living thing in Illinois. West of Wedron, keep watch for where Indian creek flows into the Fox, Here, in a shallow valley , is the site of an Indian massacre which took place in 1832. Opposite the mouth of the creek is a box canyon and a thirty-foot waterfall.

LaSalle street, Chicago, 60601 by JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist from the Family Service and Mantel Health Clime of McHenry County v (Editor's note: This is the thirty-third in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health staff. This article is "Coping - Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Behavior.") Treatment obsessive t compulsive behavior is almost always aimed at attempting to alleviate underlying anxiety. Since this particular disorder characteristically has been formed over a long period of time, usually throughout the entire life, the symptoms of obsessive thinking and com­ pulsive behavior are extremely resistant to therapy. PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JULY I. 1977 Medication is also used to decrease the symptoms of anxiety, but the tranquilizers do not appear to be as effective for this condition as they are for other forms of emotional problems. It should be noted that despite the fact that this disorder is very resistant to treatment, the symptoms are often not extremely disturbing to the person. Although thf thoughts and rituals are time consuming and irritating, many people are able to func­ tion quite adequateiy u. spite of them. Currently, the most common form of treatment is not to attempt to get at factors in the person's early life which contributed to the pattern of obsessive compulsive behavior. Such treatment can take a great deal of time, sometimes years, before satisfactory results can be obtained. Rather than extend treatment this long, many therapists choose to help the person reduce current life stresses to the point that the anxiety level is less severe and the resulting obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors are not as disabling. As stress cannot be completely eliminated, however, there usually remains an element of obsessiveness in a somewhat milder form. Teen Workers Illinois Labor Director1 William M. Bowling recently ^ reminded 14 and 15-year-old would-be workers and their' potential employers that work; certificates are a must.
