[EWPOINT I Pioneer Press 1,000 WORDS IJack Higgins Pope Francis reminds us what matters By his words and actions, Pope Francis reminds us all what matters most in human affairs. Walk with humility. Care for the poor and pow- erless. Love the sinner. Remember that we are sinners, too. Did you see Francis gently washing and kissing the feet of 12 detainees in a youth jail in Rome? Two of the young offenders were Muslim. Two were women. One young inmate asked: Why are you doing this? To "help me be humble, as a bishop should be," he replied. This is a pope who prefers walking to riding in limos, who chooses to live for now in a two-bed apartment rather than in the opulent Apostolic Palace, who has declined to wear a gold pectoral cross and an ermine-lined mantle. Who can say yet whether Francis is up to the job? But he seems to know where to begin. Small bytes ofnewsrarely satisfy I get these "friend Friends are people you "hang in there."

I turned to the Best Minds in Medicine for my lung cancer treatment.

My cancer was inoperable, but Dr. Salgia and his team found other options.

We stayed optimistic and we fought back hard.

I wasn't about to let cancer beat me.

That's why I'm here.

An industrial conversion eirii. in an unlikely spot makes Dair e for a star single-family home BY LISA SKOLNII(

Before long, the open, airy loft style trickled up and out - conven- tional types in tamer areas began fashioning single-family homes out of old neighborhood stores and small commercial buildings. Some architects and developers even built new houses and buildings with loft-like features and floor plans, though they rarely possessed the appealing authenticity and panache or the high ceilings and huge windows that made the original structures so desirable. If you're looking for the real deal, you'll find it at 1758 W. Barry, a 25-year-old conversion of a workaday neighborhood dairy into a wonderful four-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family home that's on the market for $925,000.

And he intends to prove it with the presentation of "Opera Rocks' Sunday evening at Monastero's Ristorante. The program for the gala event looks like a guide to opera's greatest hits, especially those by Puccini. His works include the composer's beloved "O mio Babbino caro" from "Gianni Schicchi," "Musetta's Waltz" and the Act IV duet from "La Bo- heme." "Nessun dorma" from "Tu- randot," and "Un Bel Di" from "Ma- dama Butterfly" will also be sung. Schuller and guest artist David Adam Moore will present the famous duet from Bizet's "The Pearl Fishers." Other show selections will include Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Don Giovanni."
