The Hays Years 1934-1968: Sixties
During the years from 1934 to 1968, the Motion Picture Production Code, usually called the Hays Code, stifled filmmakers or made them creative when it came to sexuality. The code stated that "any inference of sex perversion," including homosexuality, was prohibited. Films could be made if nothing was overt and if queer characters were not presented positively. It should be noted that this was not government censorship; the restrictions were self-imposed by the movie industry itself – but out of concern that if they didn't act the government might impose regulations on the industry. By the sixties, the code was routinely was being tested.

2012 Resolution Update
This week has been one of ups and downs; but given the circumstances I was fairly disciplined.
I had to attend three dinners outside of the home as part of some special events this week. They could not be avoided and all of them were rich food options, even though I tried to prepare for them by reducing my caloric intake the rest of the day.
My saving grace, though, was a dedicated high-calorie-burning workout schedule that I stuck to like a pit bull, even when I was tired and distracted by other things.
All said, I was still pleased with the outcome.
Last Sunday, I weighed in at 192.6 lbs. This week, I broke the 190 lb barrier -- but just barely. I weighed in today at 189.4 lbs. This amounts to a 3.2 lb drop for this week. And it was hard work. Still, 3 lbs in one week is pretty admirable given that I need to average 3 lbs in one month to keep pace with my goal. I'm building up a pretty good reserve just in case I need them.
Anyway, visual evidence... Here's this week's head shot:
Compared to the picture snapped on Jan. 1, 2012:
My naturally round face makes it hard to see much change, but I think the progress is now becoming clearly pretty evident, especially around the jowls and neck lines. Every Sunday I also take a series of four full body shots (front profile, left side profile, right side profile, and back profile) to be able to track the weight loss evolution over my full body during the course of the year. And the change in these pictures is pretty pronounced. Perhaps at the end of this year I'll put together one of those slide shows where one can see a full year's worth of change in rapid presentation format -- both in the head shots as well as the four full body shots.
On to week four and the end of the first month!

Special Medjugorje Pilgrimage in Fiat 500 cars by 17 members of Taranto Fiat club
The Fiat 500 is a car produced by the Fiat company of Italy between 1957 and 1975, with limited production of the Fiat 500 K estate continuing until 1977. Recently there was a very special pilgrimage to Medjugorje when a group of 17 Italians arrived in old Fiat 500 cars. They created a stir when they parked in front of the Hotel Herceg. The inspiration for the trip came when one of the club members had a dream. In this dream the Blessed Virgin suggested a trip to Medjugorje. The man told his friends so the Fiat tarantino club organised the trip with his beloved Fiat 500 car. (Source:Mediterranews.com). Hundreds of thousands of Italians travel to Medjugorje each year.

-----0-----If there is a vintage clothing capitol in this world of ours, I will guess it is Portland, Oregon. What can you say about a city that prides itself on off-beat style.
Weird or not, Portlandians love and wear vintage, and cool vintage shops are scattered around the city. I thought I'd share a series of posts about vintage shops we visited on a recent winter excursion to Portland.
Simply Vintage * BOUTIQUE
Simply Vintage is also one of my favorite stores on etsy, (so what's a little competition, we can spread the love ;-) along with Fab Gabs, both located in vintage central on planet Earth in Portlandia!

This game is—as most of you know—a continuation of the Xehanort Saga of the Kingdom Hearts series. The story is very well-set-up, and the player must explore seven worlds—Worlds of Sleep—and lock their Keyholes. You play as both Sora and Riku in two connected storylines, making your way through the Realm of Sleep in order to restore those seven worlds to their original state. The worlds' stories are well-done and very in-depth, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing each world. They were all connected to the main story very well, so no disappointment there; and the ending is pretty darn good... a great lead-in to Kingdom Hearts III.
However, what kept the story from getting a 9 or 10 is that I feel it faltered in several places. A few of the compone…

When Jason Federico ran for commissioner on the department of public works, he discussed the technological advances the DPW could use to create efficiencies. He received more than 900 votes and won his seat against incumbent Tom Irving.
When Jason Federico ran for commissioner on the department of public works, he discussed the technological advances the DPW could use to create efficiencies. He received more than 900 votes and won his seat against incumbent Tom Irving.
Although he can't confirm they all voted for him, he could have received 77 votes from members of his own family.
"I ran into my father's cousin recently, and she told me she got out to vote for me," he said. "It couldn't hurt, that's for sure."
Federico's ties to Pembroke took root in 1913 when his father's grandmother's parents moved to town. He said they had seven kids who all lived in Pembroke, and for the most part, the next generation stayed in town as well.
"A large number of them are still in Pembroke," he said.
Over the years, members of Federico's family have been active in town. Federico's great uncle, Alfred Lanzillotta, was the police chief from 1946-1969, when he died. His grandmother, mother and aunt all work in the town's schools as well.
At one point, he said his family made up nearly all of the residences on Dwelley Street.
Federico is just beginning his three-year term as a DPW commissioner, but time will tell if a member of such a well-established (and large) Pembroke family can help bring the town into the future.
Federico said his first month as a DPW commissioner has gone well. He's been learning the ins and outs of the position, and where different projects stand; but he hasn't forgotten about the technological upgrades he discussed while campaigning for the position.
"I want to get a handle on where the different projects stand," he said. "Then I'll see if we can incorporate a more deliverable web-based mapping plan that a guy in the field can use."
Federico said right now workers have to flip through all kinds of maps to learn details about a certain area of town when work is set to start on a project. He said if web-based mapping is applied properly, workers could do the same thing at the site on their phones.
"It's a matter of being hooked in," he said.
Federico said he hopes he and the other commissioners can find funding for such a project.
"I can help by championing it," he said.

I guess I forgot to post pictures of when the kids went to Jungle Jim's. The three oldest kids loved it. Claire didn't like the rides. She loved watching all the kids running around though. She's a people watcher.
Gavin and Griffin played on the bumper cars.
A safari ride.
Claire obviously didn't like it. :)
The Amazon.
This ride was like the teacups at Disneyland. The worked there helped out and spun the kids every time they came around.
Claire was so sad when we had to leave.
Just kidding. She was crying because I made her pose for a picture. She's opinionated and lets you know exactly what she's thinking. I wonder where she gets that from. :)
Next up is our Nativity that the grand kids did!

I need.
I used to think I was a pretty independent, do-it-on-my-own, kind of gal.
And I was. Don't get me wrong.
I had to grow up fairly fast in some areas of my life.
I lost my grandpa to prostate cancer when I was 5. When I was 8, I lost my grandma to a heart attack. When I was 12, I lost my closest aunt to pancreatic cancer. When I was 18, I came very nearly to losing my mom to breast cancer. At 22 my uncle passed away from colon cancer. My oldest brother is handicapped--there have been multiple times throughout my life that we have almost lost him.
Through each of these moments in my life...I have felt the need to be the strong one. The one who could handle it on her own. Except I couldn't. I was NEVER alone...and I always turned to my Heavenly Father to help me, but I never really relied on anyone else.
With the last (almost) 3 years of trying for a baby...I have realized how much I really NEED.
I need friends that care.
I need someone to tell me a funny joke or story to help make me laugh--because sometimes I have a hard time smiling about things.
I need to know that my family loves me...cares about me...cares about what I'm going through.
I need people to ASK how I'm doing...not just assume that I'll tell them if I need to talk or need some help.
I need people to be at least a LITTLE sensitive to what I am going through...
I sometimes just NEED a hug...and someone to let me cry for a few minutes without being judgmental.
Today though, and not for the first time I might add, I really NEEDED to talk to my aunt Kathy. She is the aunt who died when I was 12. I really am so sad that I didn't get to know her as I was growing up and as an adult. My mom says now, that I remind her so much of Kathy--that she and I did things the same. I always loved Kathy...she lived just around the block from us and was in my ward. I loved seeing her. Also, she was the school nurse at my elementary school--so I literally got to see her everyday. It was awesome. She was my moms best friend. Kathy didn't get married until she was 45 and then died 5 years later. She never had kids of her own.
I've been struggling lately with everyone having babies. And its silly of me to be upset by it, I know that. I am so happy for my family and friends who get to have kids and grow their families...but its hard on me. Its hard to see them get so easily, something that just doesn't seem to be in the cards for me...and something I just want so badly.
Today I went to the cemetery...I went to talk to my aunt Kathy. I need to know how she dealt with it. The pain and grief of not having a family...the emotions of watching everyone around you have what you want so dearly. How? How did she manage?
I talked to my mom about it a few months ago...just wondering if Kathy ever talked about it with her. My mom said she couldn't remember Kathy ever saying anything...and my mom felt bad, but that she never really thought about how hard it must have been to watch everyone have what she wanted.
Today, I really needed just about 10 minutes for the heavens to open, so I could get some strength and advice from her.
Today I was reminded of how much I actually NEED.

Diabetes symptoms are any and all of those symptoms that usually accompany the disease called diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes as it is known by most people. Diabetes is actually a group of diseases that are metabolic in nature and which tend to give a person high blood sugar. High blood sugar often occurs when the body does not make enough of the necessary insulin or the cells in the body do not respond to the insulin that has been produced. Whenever high blood sugar happens in the body, it is what helps to create the classic symptoms that are tied to the disease.
These set of symptoms are very identifiable and are often what prompts an individual to get checked out by their physician when they occur. Some of the most classic of diabetes symptoms include polyuria, which is going to the bathroom to urinate quite often. There is also polydipsia, which is a constant thirst and polyphaga, which translated is a constant hunger or increased level of hunger for food overall.
As was previously stated, diabetes is a group of diseases. There are different forms of the disease and these include Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, congenital diabetes, steroid diabetes, monogamic diabetes and diabetes related to cystic fibrosis.
Almost all forms of diabetes can be treated successfully with insulin and have been treated with it since it became available back in 1921. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled with the help of medication in a lot of cases. Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes are both chronic in nature. There is no known cure for either of these two forms of the disease at present.
Just as there are different types of diabetes, there are different types of symptoms in addition to the classic ones mentioned. Some of the other symptoms include changes in vision, skin rashes, dehydration, fatigue, weight loss, vomiting, dry mouth, and irritability, to name a few.
The onset of diabetes symptoms can happen rapidly or very slowly or be invisible in some cases. It is the masking of these symptoms, or the fact that they seem harmless a lot of the time, that can cause diabetes to go undiagnosed in many patients. It is only through the early detection and treatment of this disease that a person can possibly avoid the complications of diabetes. Diabetes complications are often related to the eyes, feet, skin, heart, kidneys, and blood pressure.

But my lazy days are officially behind me now. My wonderful friend (and in my opinion, one of THE greatest photographers/artists in the WORLD) Amanda Summerlin of http://www.amandasummerlin.blogspot.com/ managed to throw up a multitude of posts while refinishing her office so my lame excuses just won't cut it anymore.
I want you to meet my friends.....Melissa, Destiny and Grace. I call them my friends because I truly like each one of them individually. This isn't one of those deals when you meet a family and you take some of the not-so-nice ones because you really like the other one(s). You can just tell by looking at them that they are sweet people.
We met Des first (affectionately referred to as "Des" or "Dorstiny" by our family) when she came to Rachel's 9th birthday party. She was as quiet as a church mouse. In fact, we weren't sure that she could speak for the first two or three years that we knew her. She and Rachel quickly became fast friends and she was a chosen member of our family whether she wanted to be or not! We've watched her grow and we looked up one day and realized that this sweet, quiet little girl had turned into a gorgeous young lady (I sound like my grandmother calling someone a "young lady" but that's all that I can adequately say to describe how much she's changed!). The even more cool thing about her is that she's as sweet and wonderful on the inside as she is on the outside. She's proven to be a wonderful, trusted friend and we absolutely love her!
The whole "photo shoot" started out as Melissa's request for me to do a few pictures for their Christmas card. As soon as I saw how fun they were going to be, we went with it and Grace incorporated some of her ideas for poses. That's when the real fun started!
I'm sure that you've heard of "sisterly love" but I decided to throw in a few shots to demonstrate it in action!
And just when you thought that the fighting was about to begin, here is the sisterly love that I was talking about......
Don't ever doubt that there's love at this house!
Here's more proof that beauty runs in the family...
We're hoping to find a day soon to get Dad in some pictures so stay tuned for more of these guys to come!
Who would have ever guessed that one quiet little girl at a birthday party would have brought such wonderful friends into our lives and our hearts?
I hope that all of this family's wishes come true!
Thanks for everything guys! We love you!

Under the weather

I'm not at my best right now. Saturday I spent the better part of the day in bed with a high fever. The fever has gone away, but I'm left with stomach problems now. I really wanted to avoid getting sick, but it wasn't to be. The teachers and Araminta all tell me that this almost always happens to travelers after about a week or so. Just call me punctual.
UPDATE 9/21/09: I'm feeling much better now. Thanks to those who prayed for me.

We're a community group based in Strontian in the West Highlands. Faced with an inadequate Primary School building, and unhappy with our local Council's proposals to address this, we came up with our own idea: we would build a new facility ourselves, and lease it to the Council to use as a school. Fortunately the Council agreed to this, and we are now building what we believe will be the first community-owned school in Scotland.
Our model is similar to the better known and more controversial Private Finance Initiative (PFI). However in our case, the developer (us!) is constituted as a Community Benefit Society democratically controlled by our members, mostly village residents. Our goal is to provide the best facility we can for our kids, not profits for shareholders - but if once our loans are paid off we do make any profit this will be re-invested in community development. We are calling this a Community Finance Initiative (CFI), and believe it could be an exciting new model of public & community partnership for the future.
Without an adequate school building we will lose the young families we have and not be able to attract new ones. Without young families in our village, it will die. So this project is about much more than just a school for the children, it is about the sustainability of our rural community.
At the moment our Council cannot commit to leasing the building for more than 10 years (though they may do so). We have therefore designed our school building in such a way that if it is no longer needed for a school, it can be converted for another use - probably affordable housing, as this is another key priority in our community.
We have worked hard to get all necessary approvals in place, and now have funds for the main construction from grants, a commercial loan and a community share offer. However, we now need to raise funds for the 'extras' which will turn our school facility from being a good one to an even better and greener one. Currently the children have very limited outdoor space, but the new school will give them much more, and we want to landscape this with appropriate planting and equipment - to include a school polytunnel, an outdoor shelter, and other outdoor equipment. We also want to equip the new building with roof mounted PV panels, so that the children grow up with renewable electricty being a normal part of everyday life.
We estimate that these 'extras' will cost at least £25,000 and have set this as our initial target. If we can raise more, we can purchase more equipment and also start to reduce the size of our commercial loan on the main building. Please help us if you can!

Will it never end? That must be the question going through the heads of the wild life and horses who have survived one of the longest, coldest, and snowiest winters in the last 30 years. Just last week the Park received another 12 inches of snow. I don't know what the total is for that area, but Bismarck has had over 99 inches this season. We are 1.8 inches from breaking our all time record of 101 inches in the winter of '96-'97. One advantage is that it will ensure a good growth of vegetation once the snow melts off and the sun warms the frozen ground.
We like to make a trip to the Park for our Anniversary in late December, so after Christmas we spent a couple days in the Park enjoying a fresh blanket of snow. We had seen High Star's band in the SE corner of the park on our way to Medora the first morning. It was pretty tough going through the deep snow, but we were able to get close enough to them for a few photos. All looked as if they were faring well, even with the deep snow they had to paw through for every bite. Baldy and Bashful trotted over for a visit while we were there, but High Star was not interested in neighborly niceties and ran them off.
Since the Park had so much snow, the loop road was closed; we spent the rest of that day skiing the Little Missouri. The snow was excellent for cross country skiing and the weather was perfect with bright sun and very little wind. It is always a thrill to see the buttes in their winter dress, like something from a Bev Doolittle Painting. The next day we hoped to see some more horses when we skied up the loop road on the north side of the Park. We got about two miles in before the weather turned cold and windy, so we high tailed it back to the car before we got caught in a storm. The only wild life we saw on our skiing trek was a very cooperative Cotton Tail, but there were numerous deer, bison, and elk along the main road.
In early March I was able to return to the Park with some friends. We missed the first break up of the ice on the Little Missouri by about 12 hours. From what we heard, it was quite impressive. ( read about this on Ranger Nathan's blog. http://rangernathan.blogspot.com/ )
The loop was still closed but we found Brutus and his fillies, Dolly and Autumn, near Wind Canyon. Dolly appeared to be in foal, but it is probably Embers' foal, since he had her in his band from May until September. Further up the road to the east we found Cocoa, Busy Blue with her yearling, Amigo, and Stormy with her yearling, Rusty. The two year old fillies, Maggie and Maddie were missing. Along the road, against the warm south side of a high river bluff, we found Curious George. Though he was thin and shaggy, he seemed to be well.
On April 3 we were able to go out with Mike Oehler, the Park Biologist. From the Fryburg road we saw Thunder with his mares, Rain and Winter, and their offspring as well as High Star with his band and a couple additions. Sweetheart and her two year old, Oreo, were with them. We were surprised to see that Sweetheart had been taken from the double band of Singlefoot, Red Face, and Satellite.
On the way back to town, we spotted four young bachelors on the south bluff, overlooking Cedar Canyon. Farther west, we crawled under the fence to get a better look at Little Sorrel's band. He was missing a few, some of which we found later with Gray Ghost and some we suspected were with the young stud, Cruiser.
Being with Mike, we were able to take the loop road deeper into the Park. Much of the road was still covered with 6-8 inches of snow and one drift on Boicourt Ridge forced us to turn around, but we were still able to find several more bands. Red Face, Singlefoot, and Satellite had four new foals with them. Two foals had been sited earlier, one with Copper and one with a young stud, Cloud, who had acquired the old mare, Flicka, so the count is five stud colts and one unknown for now.
It is a wonder how those tiny foals survive the cold and storms that still rage through the breaks in the spring, but the horses of the Badlands are made of sturdy stuff. For their sake and our own, we will pray for warmer temperatures as we look forward to another trip to the Park in two weeks.

|Meadow in the upper end of Potato Canyon
At the intersection of FR 437 and FR 437A, we continued on FR 437 as it left the canyon and took us up on the high ridge in between Potato Canyon and Pepper Canyon. On top, it was a bleak landscape. Snags left from the Scott Able Fire rising starkly from weeds and scrubby shrubs. No replacement evergreens as far as the eye could see, even though this fire happened 13 years ago. Down in Pepper Canyon there were patches of fall color,most likely bushy maples and box elders. We passed a small brown " 433" sign before the road descended to the upper end of Potato Canyon, which had not been burnt. We parked the truck, got out and began walking down the canyon, as the weather began to bluster. We were met shortly( perhaps a 1/2 mile down the canyon) thereafter with a fence and a no trespassing sign, so we returned to the vehicle.
Back up on the ridge, we investigated the road labeled 433 , walking a short ways before it disappeared in the weeds, rocks and scrub. The dark gray skies, and the increasing wind made the thousands of acres of snag covered hills seem even more ominous, so rather than search for the upper trail head for Wayland Canyon we drove back down.
We drove up FR 64 back down at the bottom but the only clue we found regarding the Wayland Canyon Trail was sign on a green fence saying " Private Property No Wayland Access." Disappointed, we gave up and went looking for a picnic spot, which we found on Forest Road 258 near its intersection with Forest Road 564. We then enjoyed the drive over the ridge on a good county gravel roads ( Otero D19 and D17), which brought us to Wills Canyon and then back to NM 130.
Back at the rental cabin I did some searches for Wayland Canyon, only finding out about the destruction of many homes in the canyon during the Scott Able Fire in 2001 and little else. I'm thinking perhaps the trail may have been obliterated back then, but I'm not sure. I 'm wandering why the the Forest Service would continue to have the trail on its website if it is not signed(everything has sign in the Lincoln now) and no longer seems to be accessible or viable. I spoke to the fellow at the information desk at the Cloudcroft Ranger Station,but he had no idea about it either. He only offered that if it didn't appear on the latest Lincoln NF Vehicle Use Map then it probably was no longer there( although it is a foot trail and not for vehicles so perhaps it would not appear on this map anyway). If anyone knows anything about this trail , please let me know. Note: FR 437 gets very rough past the point where we parked. We drove for little way before smartly deciding to quickly turn around. Here is a link to awesome website for information on Sacramento District trails regarding Wayland Canyon trail. I have not gone back to test these directions for access,but this site is reliable.

Just a quick post today. The kids were invited to a birthday party today and at the last minute I realized I needed a card. So I quickly put this gift card holder/card together using a file I purchased from the silhouette design store. This was so easy to cut and assemble. It took all of ten minutes if that long.
I had purchased a target gift card and it fit perfectly inside. For the sentiment, I used a stamp set by "Fiskars" titled "happy birthday". The ink pad I used is black by close to my heart.

This week I attempted another recipe form the cool Japanese youtuber's channel that i mentioned in my last blog . This recipe was not vegan but I tried to change around some of the ingredients. In place of butter I added margarine…milk–> oat milk….eggs–> banana. I read that you can use either banana or apple sauce as an egg replacement. It did have a slight banana flavour.
Mine got a bit burned because I left it in longer than the recipe said to because i wasn't sure if it was ready. But all in all it still turned out okay…edible lol. my sisters enjoyed it.
This is how mine came out.

Day -42 and counting
That wonderful sunshine that we had yesterday is hid behind the clouds again. I've worked on writing four articles that I want to finish before November first. I think I'm looking forward to burying myself into the fiction world soon. I'm getting tired of the real world issues that I've been dealing with and writing about.

It's 4:17 AM and I can't sleep!
Below are some possible reasons of my restlessness:
1. I am going back to work after a three day weekend and my brain is already hard at work on my to-do list.
2. I have two very pregnant ladies in my life and am wondering how they are sleeping. Or are they possibly in labor?!
3. I had a cup of coffee after my 3:00 PM cut off time.
4. I'm hungry.
5. I have a small skin tag that magically appeared on my right eyelid.
6. I have to fly up north in a few days for work and don't know what outfits to pack.
7. I'm tired.
8. Cracks keep appearing on the walls. Is it time to call out the foundation guys??
9. I can't forget to call the lawn guy! Our yard needs some major TLC!
10. Will my carbon monoxide detector work if there's a leak?
11. I can't remember if I reserved a room at the hotel? If not, I hope the couches are comfortable in the lobby!
Ok. Enough ramblings. I am going to attempt a nap before my alarm goes off in an hour!
P.S. this is a self portrait as I was typing under my covers!

BERNARD A. HEEREY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANTv.SAM MANIATIS ET AL., DEFENDANTS-APPELLEES
549 N.E.2d 691, 192 Ill. App. 3d 868, 140 Ill. Dec. 40 1989.IL.2017
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Sophia Hall, Judge, presiding.
APPELLATE Judges:
PRESIDING JUSTICE MURRAY delivered the opinion of the court. LORENZ and COCCIA, JJ., concur.
Plaintiff Bernard A. Heerey appeals from an order of the trial court granting summary judgment to defendants in a dispute over the ownership and obstruction of an alley on Chicago's near north side. *fn1 The defendants are Sam Maniatis (Maniatis), the beneficial owner of property abutting the disputed alley, and the City of Chicago (City); Western National Bank of Cicero (Bank), the title owner of Maniatis' property, is not involved in this appeal.
The pertinent facts are as follows. On February 6, 1985, Heerey filed a three-count complaint against Maniatis, the Bank and the City. In count I of his complaint, Heerey sought a declaratory judgment against the City, asserting that a certain alley lying adjacent to and contiguous to the east line of Maniatis' property and the west line of lot 4 of Heerey's property is a private alley. Count II of the complaint sought an injunction against Maniatis, barring his future interference with the alleged private alley. Count III of the complaint sought compensatory and punitive damages for Maniatis' past interference with the alleged private alley. After defendants filed answers to the complaint, Heerey filed a motion for summary judgment, and Maniatis and the City filed cross-motions for summary judgment, both asserting that the alley was a public one.
On March 29, 1988, the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of defendant Maniatis and against Heerey on the cross-motions for summary judgment, and dismissed Heerey's entire complaint. In doing so, the court, in a written decision, stated: "The issues presented to the Court by the motions are: (1) whether Heerey is prohibited from litigating to have the alley declared private by a restrictive covenant contained in a prior 1899 deed in Heerey's line of title; and (2) whether the subject alley is private as Heerey argues, or public as Maniatis argues. The Court having considered the briefs and affidavits finds that Heerey is prohibited from suing to have the alley declared private. The Court does not reach the issue of the public or private status of the alley." The restrictive covenant contained in the 1899 deed referred to by the court, which preceded Heerey's purchase of the property abutting the alley (lot 4), states as follows:
"A part of the consideration herein is that the grantee herein and all persons holding under and through him [of lot 4] shall never join in any petition to vacate the public alley next west of those premises, but such alley shall forever remain a public alley situated in the City of Chicago." (Emphasis added.)
On July 13, 1988, Heerey filed a motion for reconsideration. The trial court subsequently denied the motion, and this appeal followed.
On appeal, Heerey seeks either a reversal of the trial court's dismissal of his cause with a declaration that the alley is a private one and a remandment for a determination of his injunction count (count II) and damages count (count III) of his complaint or a remandment with instructions to the trial court to enter a declaratory judgment on the ownership status of the alley after an evidentiary hearing and a hearing thereafter on counts II and III of his complaint.
Heerey makes his prayer for relief based on arguments, among others, that the trial court erred in leaving the ownership of the disputed alley unresolved, that it erred in dismissing the entire complaint where there were three counts in the complaint and only one was addressed by the court's order, that it was error for the trial court to hold that the restrictive covenant contained in the 1899 deed barred his action, that the alley could not be public as a matter of law, and that the trial court misinterpreted the restrictive covenant which it relied on.
Maniatis argues that the trial court properly concluded that the restrictive covenant barred the action and, accordingly, the court properly entered summary judgment in his favor. In addition, both Maniatis and the City argue that the alley is a public one.
Summary judgment should be granted where "the pleadings, depositions and admissions on file, together with the supporting affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." (Wright v. Adonis Compania Naviera, S.A. (1978), 59 Ill. App. 3d 108, 110; Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987, ch. 110, par. 2-1005(c).) Evidence is to be construed strictly against the moving party and liberally in favor of the opponent. (Clausen v. Ed Fanning Chevrolet, Inc. (1972), 8 Ill. App. 3d 1053.) The right to summary judgment must be clear beyond question, and an order granting summary ...
