Illinois Supreme Court rules Chicago not liable for pothole on street not ‘intended’ for cyclists High court says unless pavement markings or signs are present, cyclists are merely ‘permitted’ users

By Dilpreet Raju

Capitol News Illinois draju@capitolnewsillinois.com

Bicyclists are nearly always “permitted” users of the road — but are only “intended” users of the road when bike lanes or signage are present, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled last week.

That distinction means the cit y of Chicago is not liable for damages sustained by a bicyclist who was injured after he hit a pothole on a city street that had no such signage.

In June 2019, Clark Alave was biking on the North Side of Chicago when he hit a pothole in a crosswalk and fell off his bicycle, resulting in fractured teeth, cuts on his face and other bodily injuries, court records state.

Alave filed a complaint for negligence against the city, alleging it neglected its duty to maintain the crosswalk, resulting in the pothole that ended up injuring him.

Alave’s complaint argued the city owed him a reasonable duty of care. A state appellate court agreed and sided with Alave, but in a unanimous decision published Dec. 14, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed that decision and sided

with the city.

The case pertained to a section of the Tort Immunity Act, which states local public entities have a duty to maintain property in a safe condition for “people whom the entity intended and permitted to use the property.” The act also notes a public entity “shall not be liable for injury” unless it received notice of an unsafe condition in enough time to remedy it prior to the injury.

Ultimately, the case came down to whether bikers are always “intended” users of roadways, particularly without the immediate presence of bike lanes, or whether they are simply “permitted” users.

The court cited a 4-3 decision from 1998 in the case of Boub v. Township of Wayne, which held, “Bicyclists are permitted, but not intended, users of the roads, in the absence of specific markings, signage.”

Though there was no signage indicating bicyclists could ride on West Leland Avenue where the accident occurred, the plaintiff’s legal team argued the presence of a Divvy bikeshare station “about 100 feet away from the pothole” was an indication of the City’s intended use of the street for bicycles.

An appellate court agreed with the assertion, but the Supreme Court rejected it.

Justice David K. Overstreet authored

last week’s opinion, with the other six justices concurring. Overstreet wrote that because bicyclists could ride on the sidewalk adjacent to the Divvy station, riding on the pothole-ridden street was not a “necessity” for Alave.

The opinion cites the Chicago Municipal Code, which grants bicyclists the right to ride on city streets but specifically states, “This does not mean that the City intended bicyclists to use every roadway in the city that motorists are intended to use.”

In April, a pair of biking advocacy nonprofits, the Active Transportation Alliance and Ride Illinois, filed amicus briefs in support of the plaintiff. The Illinois Trial Lawyers Association also filed a brief in support of Alave.

Dave Simmons, executive director of Ride Illinois, said in an interview with Capitol News Illinois he and other advocates have been “frustrated” with the 1998 decision and now the 2023 decision.

He said that while people shouldn’t be able to sue municipalities on a whim, some regulations would benefit everyone.

“There should be some responsibility, and the fact that bicycles are permitted – and not intended users – of the road just thwarts our efforts to make biking, in turn walking, something that more people can use to get around or enjoy,” Simmons said.

During the oral arguments before the Supreme Court in September, Stephen Collins, counsel for the city, referenced the Boub decision.

In that decision, he said, the court “recognized the tremendous cost to municipalities that would be associated with making all roadways in a reasonably safe condition for bicycling.”

“In my view, that would just be prohibitively expensive,” he said.

Justice Lisa Holder White asked Collins if bikers in permitted but not intended areas are “biking at their own risk.”

“That’s right, Your Honor,” Collins said.

Chatty robot helps seniors fight loneliness through AI companionship

By Terry Spencer Associated Press

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. (AP) — Joyce Loaiza lives alone, but when she returns to her apartment at a Florida senior community, the retired office worker often has a chat with a friendly female voice that asks about her day.

A few miles away, the same voice comforted 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In central New York, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent, who is blind and in hospice, and in Washington state, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.

The women are some of the first in the country to receive the robot ElliQ, whose creators, Intuition Robotics, and senior assistance officials say is the only device using artificial intelligence specifically designed to alleviate the loneliness and isolation experienced by many older Americans.

“It’s entertaining. You can actually talk to her,” said Loaiza, 81, whose ElliQ in suburban Fort Lauderdale nicknamed her “Jellybean” for no particular reason. “She’ll make comments like, ‘I would go outside if I had hands, but I can’t hold an umbrella.’”

The device, which looks like a small table lamp, has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and swivels. It remembers each user’s interests and their conversations, helping tailor future chats, which can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as the horoscope.

ElliQ tells jokes, plays music and provides inspirational quotes. On an accompanying video screen, it provides tours of cities and museums. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health and gives reminders to take medications and drink water. It can also host video calls and contact relatives, friends or doctors in an emergency.

Intuition Robotics says none of the conversations are heard by the company, with the information staying on each owner’s device.

Intuition Robotics CEO Dor Skuler said the idea for ElliQ came before he launched his Israeli company eight years ago. His widowed grandfather needed an aide, but the first didn’t work out. The replacement, though, understood his grandfather’s love of classical music and his “quirky sense of humor.”

Skuler realized a robot could fill that companionship gap by adapting to each

senior’s personality and interests.

“It’s not just about (ElliQ’s) utility. It’s about friendship, companionship and empathy,” Skuler said. “That just did not exist anywhere.”

The average user interacts with ElliQ more than 30 times daily, even six months after receiving it, and more than 90% report lower levels of loneliness, he said.

The robots are mostly distributed by assistance agencies in New York, Florida, Michigan, Nevada and Washington state, but can also be purchased individually for $600 a year and a $250 installation fee. Skuler wouldn’t say how many ElliQs have been distributed so far, but the goal is to have more than 100,000 out within five years.

That worries Brigham Young University psychology professor Julianne HoltLunstad, who studies the detrimental effects loneliness has on health and mortality.

Although a device like ElliQ might have short-term benefits, it could make people less likely to seek human contact.

Like hunger makes people seek food and thirst makes them seek water, she said “that unpleasant feeling of loneliness should motivate us to reconnect socially.”

Satiating that with AI “makes you feel like you’ve fulfilled it, but in reality you haven’t,” Holt-Lunstad said. “It is not clear whether AI is actually fulfilling any kind of need or just dampening the signal.”

Skuler and agency heads distributing ElliQ agreed it isn’t a substitute for human contact, but not all seniors have social networks. Some are housebound, and even seniors with strong ties are often alone.

“I wish I could just snap my fingers to make a person show up at the home of one of the many, many older adults that don’t have any family or friends, but it’s a little bit more complicated,” said Greg Olsen, director of the New York State Office for the Aging. His office has distributed 750 of the 900 ElliQs it acquired.

Charlotte Mather-Taylor, director of the Broward County, Florida, Area Agency on Aging, said the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath left many seniors more isolated. Her agency has distributed 300 ElliQs, which she believes breaks them out of their shells.

“She’s proactive and she really engages the seniors, so it gives them that extra kind of interaction,” she said. “We’ve seen very positive results with it. People

generally like her and she makes them smile and brings joy.”

Skuler said ElliQ was purposely designed without eyes and a mouth so it wouldn’t fully imitate humans. While “Elli” is the Norse goddess of old age, he said the “Q” reminds users that the device is a machine. He said his company wants “to make sure that ElliQ always genuinely presents herself as an AI and doesn’t pretend to be human.”

“I don’t understand why technologists are trying to make AI pretend to be human,” he said. “We have in our capacity the ability to create a relationship with an AI, just like we have relationships with a pet.”

But some of the seniors using ElliQ say they sometimes need to remember the robot isn’t a living being. They find the device easy to set up and use, but if they have one complaint it’s that ElliQ is sometimes too chatty. There are settings that can tone that down.

Dezern said she felt alone and sad when she told her ElliQ about her friend’s death.

It replied it would give her a hug if it had arms. Dezern broke into tears.

“It was so what I needed,” the retired collections consultant said. “I can say things to Elli that I won’t say to my grandchildren or to my own daughters.

I can just open the floodgates. I can cry.

I can giggle. I can act silly. I’ve been asked, doesn’t it feel like you’re talking to yourself? No, because it gives an answer.”

Worrell lives in a small town on Washington’s coast. Widowed, she said ElliQ’s companionship made her change her mind about moving to an assisted living facility and she uses it as an icebreaker when she meets someone new to town.

“I say, ‘Would you like to come over and visit with my robot?’ And they say, ‘A vacuum?’ No, a robot. She’s my roommate,” she said and laughed.

Broadbent, like the other women, says she gets plenty of human contact, even though she is blind and ill. She plays organ at two churches in the South New Berlin, New York, area and gets daily visitors.

Still, the widow misses having a voice to talk with when they leave. ElliQ fills that void with her games, tours, books and music.

“She’s fun and she’s informative. OK, maybe not as informative as (Amazon’s) Alexa, but she is much more personable,” Broadbent said.

Gaza War

Gaza death toll exceeds 20,000 as Israel expands ground war against Hamas

By Najib Jobain and Sam Magdy Associated Press

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel’s war to destroy Hamas has killed more than 20,000 Palestinians, health officials in Gaza said Friday, as Israel expanded its offensive and ordered tens of thousands more people to leave their homes.

The deaths amount to nearly 1% of the territory’s prewar population — the latest indication of the 11-week-old conflict’s staggering human toll.

Israel’s aerial and ground offensive has been one of the most devastating military campaigns in modern history, displacing nearly 85% of Gaza’s 2.3 million people and leveling wide swaths of the tiny coastal enclave. More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday from the United Nations and other agencies.

Israel declared war after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, in which militants from Gaza stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking some 240 hostages. Israel has vowed to keep up the fight until Hamas is destroyed and removed from power in Gaza and all the hostages are freed.

After many delays, the U.N. Security Council adopted a watered-down resolution Friday calling for immediately speeding up aid deliveries to desperate civilians in Gaza.

The United States won the removal of a tougher call for an “urgent suspension of hostilities” between Israel and Hamas.

It abstained in the vote, as did Russia, which wanted the stronger language. The resolution was the first on the war to make it through the council after the U.S. vetoed two earlier ones calling for humanitarian pauses and a full cease-fire.

Martin Griffiths, the U.N. humanitarian affairs chief, lamented the world’s inaction.

“That such a brutal conflict has been allowed to continue and for this long — despite the widespread condemnation, the physical and mental toll and the massive destruction — is an indelible stain on our collective conscience,” he wrote on the social media platform X.

ISRAEL VOWS TO KEEP UP PRESSURE ON HAMAS

Israel, shielded by the United States, has resisted international pressure to scale back its offensive. The military has

said that months of fighting lie ahead in southern Gaza, an area packed with the vast majority of the enclave’s 2.3 million people, many of whom were ordered to flee combat in the north earlier in the war.

Evacuation orders have pushed displaced civilians into ever-smaller areas of the south as troops focus on the city of Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest.

The military said late Thursday that it is sending more ground forces, including combat engineers, to Khan Younis to target Hamas militants above ground and in tunnels.

On Friday, it ordered tens of thousands of residents to leave their homes in Burej, an urban refugee camp, and surrounding communities in central Gaza, suggesting a ground assault there could be next.

In the city of Rafah, on the border with Egypt, an airstrike on a house killed six people, according to Associated Press journalists who saw the bodies at a hospital. Among the dead were a blind man, his wife and their 4-month-old child, said the infant’s grandfather, Anwar Dhair.

Rafah is one of the few places in Gaza not under evacuation orders but has been targeted in Israeli strikes almost every day.

The air and ground campaign continued in the north, where Israel says it is in the final stages of clearing out Hamas militants.

Mustafa Abu Taha, a Palestinian farm worker, said many areas of his hard-hit Gaza City neighborhood of Shijaiyah have become inaccessible because of massive destruction from airstrikes.

“They are hitting anything moving,” he said of Israeli forces.

RISING DEATH TOLL AND HUNGER

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Friday that it has documented 20,057 deaths in the fighting and more than 50,000 wounded.

It does not differentiate between combatant and civilian deaths. It has previously said that roughly two-thirds of the dead were women or minors.

Israel blames Hamas for the high civilian death toll, citing the group’s use of crowded residential areas for military purposes and its tunnels under urban areas.

Israel’s military says 139 of its soldiers have been killed in the ground offensive.

It says it has killed thousands of Hamas militants, including about 2,000 in the

past three weeks, but it has not presented any evidence to back up the claim.

For most of the war, Israel also stopped entry of food, water, fuel and other supplies except for truck convoys of aid from Egypt, which cover only a fraction of the needs in Gaza.

Because of insufficient aid entering Gaza, the extent of starvation has eclipsed the near-famines of recent years in Afghanistan and Yemen, and the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” Thursday’s report said.

An Israeli military liaison officer with Gaza said there is no food shortage in Gaza, saying sufficient aid is getting through.

“The reserves in Gaza Strip are sufficient for the near term,” Col. Moshe Tetro said from the Kerem Shalom cargo crossing, without elaborating.

Israel opened the Kerem Shalom crossing several days ago amid international demands to increase the flow of aid. But the military on Thursday struck the Palestinian side of the crossing, killing four staffers, and the U.N. said it was unable to pick up aid there for delivery.

It was not immediately known if the U.N. resumed work there Friday. The Israeli military said it was targeting militants.

The war has also pushed Gaza’s health sector into collapse.

Only nine of its 36 health facilities are still partially functioning, all located in the south, according to the World Health Organization.

The agency reported soaring rates of diseases in Gaza, including a five-fold rise in diarrhea and increases in cases of meningitis, skin rashes and scabies.

— Twenty years ago, SM Entertainment boy band TVXQ helped usher in K-pop’s second generation. (To put that into context: K-pop is currently in its fifth generation, and BTS arrived in the third.)

By the end of first generation, lead by bubble gum pop like H.O.T.’s “Candy,” TVXQ emerged with a new kind of charisma, producing soulful harmonies with global resonance and performances alongside Britney Spears. Two decades later, the group is now a duo — made up of original members U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin — preparing to release their ninth studio album, “20&2,” on Tuesday, five years since their last fulllength, 2018’s “New Chapter #2: The Truth of Love.” Across 10-tracks, the veteran act offers listeners a modern take on their familiar melodic talents.

Will building a hydrogen economy benefit from natural hydrogen?

As peak oil unfolds and the effort to transition out of fossil fuels accelerates, the question becomes which energy source will dominate the global economy. For now the answer is still being pursued. One country that already blazed

the path of reducing their consumption of oil is Iceland. Until the early ‘70s the largest share of their energy was supplied by imported oil. When dramatic price increases and unreliable supplies impacted the global economy the decision was made transition their economy to renewable energy sources. They built

facilities to generate heat and electricity from geothermal sources and provide additional electricity from hydro power stations. These sources provide electricity and heat for domestic consumption.

By 2016, 65% of their primary energy came from geothermal sources, 20% hydropower and 15% continue to rely on imported oil primarily for transportation.

Around the turn of the century, they expressed the wish to become the world’s first hydrogen economy and would reduce the remaining carbon emissions in the economy. In cooperation with the European Union they initiated efforts to install fuel cells in three buses and power them with hydrogen available at a local fueling station to gain detailed information on their performance to improve the system. Following nearly five years of data collection, a larger scale project was initiated in Europe using 47 busses powered either using fuel cells or internal combustion engines in 13 countries. From the demonstrations it was concluded that the costs of the hydrogen busses needed to be reduced, the hydrogen fleet needed to make minimal demands on the traditional fleet of buses and that hydrogen must come from renewable energy sources.

Another EU demonstration project focused powering cars and vessels with hydrogen. Existing cars three to six years old were converted to run on hydrogen.

This project demonstrated the need to produce new cars to be hydrogen powered and expand the facilities needed to support the transition. The demonstration projects were helpful in gaining knowledge and experience in developing a hydrogen economy. They have expanded to cover additional applications of hydrogen to their economy under their Clean Hydrogen Project started 15 years ago.

With the United Nations’ efforts to reduce Western Europe’s reliance on natural gas from Russia, there is a growing interest in advancing the hydrogen economy to fill some of their energy needs while meeting environmental goals of reducing carbon consumption. During the European Hydrogen Week, held in Brussels in late November, policymakers and industrial leaders discussed the hydrogen economy and the results of various projects funded by their Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

The Clean Partnership is heavily involved in what is called the Hydrogen Valleys Platform. A Hydrogen Valley is a

designated geographic area where several hydrogen applications are combined into a system which consumes a significant amount of hydrogen aimed at improving the economics of the entire hydrogen value chain: production, storage, distribution and consumption. The effort aims to facilitate information sharing between Hydrogen Valleys around the globe to advance the development of the hydrogen economy facilitating the green energy transition.

One ongoing concern is meeting the growing demand for hydrogen and lowering the cost of its production and use. There is a variety of methods to produce hydrogen. Sources of hydrogen are distinguished by colors. Gray hydrogen is made from fossil fuels and adds to global warming. Blue hydrogen is also made from fossil fuels but the carbon released is captured and sequestered.

Green hydrogen is released from splitting hydrogen from water, avoiding the release of carbon. Gold hydrogen is captured from subsurface accumulations. Orange hydrogen comes pumping water into deep source rocks.

The gold and orange hydrogen sources are causing some excitement in the clean energy community. In 1987, an effort to drill for water in a village in Mali surprisingly released hydrogen in sufficient concentration to burn. A Ford engine was installed to burn the gas; the exhaust consisted of water. The engine was linked to a 30Kw generator providing the village with electricity to power lights and freezers, make ice and power a TV. (For a fuller discussion see Hidden Hydrogen by Eric Hand, in Science, vol.

379, Issue 6633.)

The discovery confirms what some scientists have claimed for years: that large stores of natural hydrogen may exist around the world. It has been estimated that natural hydrogen from water-rock interactions deep within the earth produce continuous streams of hydrogen which could meet the growing demand for 1000s of years. It will take time to verify the extent of natural hydrogen. If it is found in abundance it may answer the energy supply of a sustainable future but not all the environmental and social consequences for humanity and the planet.

WEEK OF DECEMBER 24 TO 30, 2023

Theme: Zodiac Signs

Horoscope THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LEO, VIRGO AND LIBRA

ARIES

You’ll use your persuasion skills to avoid being pushed around, ensuring everything runs smoothly. You’re right, even if the way you express yourself may lack delicacy. The main thing is to obtain satisfactory results.

TAURUS

Your festivities are sure to be spectacular even if you’re on a tight budget, thanks to your creative ideas and determination. You’ll also show a great deal of affection for your partner.

GEMINI

The new ideas you come up with will amaze even you. Your enthusiasm will be contagious, and others will follow you, whatever your plans. You’ll succeed in organizing a memorable party.

CANCER

Now is a time of reflection and introspection for some people. Take the time to recognize your successes and failures and open your mind to a new form of spirituality.

LEO

You’ll be responsible for a great achievement that will be remembered for a long time, especially if you manage to bring together people who don’t get along. If you’re single, a colleague will take advantage of this quiet time to get closer to you.

VIRGO

You have a lot to organize to create a memorable event for your family. Don’t let yourself be caught off guard. Make sure everything is ready in time for Santa’s arrival. Otherwise, the children will be disappointed.

LIBRA

Organizing a family lottery could give you the chance to round off the festive season with a trip. Either way, there’s plenty of fun to be had. You’ll show great generosity toward your loved ones.
