RE:

P03

02-10

Dear Mr.

Halloran,

I

am responding

to

your recent

phone

call regarding a

phone

conference on Felr~iary

10,

2003.

As

you know I left

a phone

message for

you

advising you

that

I

hadbeen in

the

hospital and did not get

home to

receiveyour message

until

February 8,

2003, and February

10,2003

was already spoken forfor

me with

medical treatment

appointments I had to honor.

I

also left a message that I

would

write

you last

week

advising

you of

days I would be

available for

a 3-way

telephonic

conference.

This

is the first

chance

I have had to

correspond with you.

On February 12, 2003

I had to

return

to the

hospital

to receive IV medications,

and transfhsions and was released

yesterday.

As

you know from prior correspondence, I

have

been quite ill.

It

has been very difficult for

me to do much right now.

I am not

staying at my home right now due to

requiring assistance and-having physical limitations.

I can provide

you

with

days

I

would hope

to be available to discuss this noise

complaint, and I understand that you and

the

Board needupdates and

need

to move the case along.

Perhaps

it

would

be better to shelve

this casefor

the

next

4-5

months,

as

I am having to travel

some distance out of town for

medical care andhospitalizations.

I am uncomfortable

committing

to

dates for calls

to

you

and possiblynot

able to follow through

due

to

health care

commitments that arise on my

behalf.

Unless Mr. OConnor and his

client have fixed the problem ofnoise

pollution

coming from the

roof

ofthe

school,

we will

need

to keep this case open to try

and

resolve the matter.

It is my

hope you

and

Board will be understanding

ofthe

circumstances.

People

get

sick, Mr.

Halloran.

Ifthe

school

had resolved the noise problem years

ago as I requested, I would not need

to be

spending

my

personal unpaid

time to put

this letter together, finding someone

to type it tbr me,

and even havingto deal with

this issue when I

should be

focusing on health

matters currently before me.

Please

advise at your convenience

on whether you

wish to try and

set-a-date for-a-phone-conference, with

the

understanding

that

I may

need

to

cancel

at late notice due to

health care

matters, or if~wshould delay

the matter for several

months until

my

health care improves and

we can move on this

casehopefully uninterrupted,

if

Respondent has

not

corrected

the

noise

problem as of thisdate.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Rebecca

RE:

Dear Mr.

Halloran,

I have enclosed a

letter

I mailed to you on February 19, 2003

still

in the enclosed envelope

which came

back to me.

As you

know,

and

will note from

the

enclosed letter,

I have

been

quite ill,

and thishas

taken up

most

ofmy

time and energy

in recovery.

As I looked at the envelope I realized that I made the mistake in the

address

explainingits

return

to me.

It was typed

1100

Randolph, and not

100 Randolph.

This

was

my mistake

and 1 take responsibility for it, and not getting correspondence to you

before now.

I had surgery again, on March 10, 2003

and I was released on March

15,

2003

and

when I arrived home I saw the returned

envelope in my mail.

I

am not sure what to do about pursuing this noise matter.

I will need you to advise me, or advise if I should contact Dorothy

Gunn

again.

I heard the ACnoise at the

school last night

so obviously Mr.

O’Connor

has

not convinced

his

client, Unit

5,

North PointeGrade School to silence or

buffer the AC fan

noise.

I had hoped

they

would take

care

of the problem during the

November

-

March months so

we could close

out thismatter

before us

with

the respondent.

Mr.

Halloran,

I would be happy to

discuss the AC noise problems with the newUnit

5

School Superintendent if he would like to fulfill the promise Unit

5

made to

me

in 2001

regarding the noise ifMr.

Steska is willingto correct the problem so we can

dismiss this

complaint.

Mr.

Steska, the

school

superintendent,

has

my permission to contact me to

discuss

the noise problems.

IfMr.

Steska chooses

not

to contact me to resolve the noise complaint, it is my

recommendation

that we sideline

this matter

for

the next

4-5

months until I know my health

is more predictable and

I can put forth the work necessary

to prepare for the

hearing, and

commit to further

phone

conferences with

all

parties.

Right

now,

I

an-i at the mercy of

doctor

appointments, and treatment

out of

town,

so there is a lot oftravel

time for

me,

and still

recovering while

under medications whichcan affect

my responses.

Perhaps

this

is

why

the address

mistake

was made on

your

envelope, as I may not have read it right while under medications.

I need to put my health first,

Mr. Halloran.

Obviously,

Unit

5

has

no interest in helping their neighbors,

and

correcting the noise problems

coming

from the school,

so the noise will remain

for us to pursue several months from nowwhen I have

medical

authorization to begin doing business work again associated

with

this

complaint.

I will apologize to you

and

the Illinois Pollution Control Board

only

for the continuance needed to finish this case.

IfUnit 5

would cooperate and control the AC fan

noise

they

have forced upon its neighbors I would not have to be takingpersonal

time

to

be contactingthe IPCB and fighting

with

Unit

5

when I should be focusing on my

health

I will

Sincerely,

Rebecca
