Daniela Gaborik stood for four hours in the dreary cold for a chance to say goodbye. Like thousands of others who mourned Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, Gaborik and Meccia came to services Wednesday because they had been touched somehow by the man who led Chicago's 2.3 million Roman Catholics. Gaborik said Bernardin consoled her upon the death of her son four years ago. "He was a true shepherd," she said. "And I have to say goodbye." Bernardin, the son of Italian immigrants who rose to become the nation's most senior Catholic Church official, died last week at his Chicago mansion of pancreatic cancer.

Meccia cherished several personal meetings with Bernardin. At one of those encounters, Meccia told Bernardin how much his brave stance in the face of cancer meant to him. Bernardin was interred in the Bishop's Mausoleum at Mount Carmel Cemetery. As snowflakes fell and the light faded. Bishop Timothy Lyne said in a homily on the mausoleum's steps that mourners should be consoled by the fact Bernardin will now be in heaven "to introduce us once more to the God he loved so much, the God he served so well."

ValuJet executive deflects responsibility for crash er's cargo By TOM WELLS Associated Press Writer In hours of vague responses MIAMI and a ValuJet executive deflected responsibility for the today canisters suspected in the deadly blaze aboard Flight 592. David Gentry, ValuJet's vice president of heavy maintenance, clearly frustrated questioners at a federal hearing in Miami by repeatedly pointing to the role of a maintenance company hired by the airline. Gentry said Sabretech packed the canisters before they were loaded into the jetlin finger-pointin- hold and was responsible for the safety caps that should have been on the canisters. The caps, investigators said, could have prevented the fire aboard the DC-9- . d into the EverThe jetliner glades May II, killing all 110 people aboard. After Gentry's testimony, Amanda Myers, who lost her parents on the flight, said families are frustrated because the National Safety Board's inquiry Transportation "doesn't seem to be going anyplace." "We're not getting any answers," said Myers, of Coral Gables, Fla.

Why weren't they disposed of here in Florida?" The canisters, which contain a mixture of chemicals, can generate heat up to 500 degrees when they are triggered to provide oxygen to passenger emergency masks. "There are batteries, paint and other hazardous materials coming off ValuJet's planes," Gentry testified. "We don't tell them what to do with it. They have been in the business for a long time." Bernard Loeb, NTSB investigator angered by the obscure responses that prompted investigators to repeat questions two or three times, asked: "Does this not raise some question for the flying public about the air worthiness of an airplane when-theget on it?" " "Is it your responsibility?" "Yes," Gentry conceded.

Enenbach is a member of a citizen patrol empowered to issue parking tickets to people who choose to illegally occupy handicap parking spaces. Craig Enenbach to target girls J Pj AP Photo Handicapped given right to issue tickets to offending motorists By DAWN FALLIK Associated Press Writer OMAHA. Neb. Debating whether to write a $100 ticket. Craig Enenbach fidgeted in his wheelchair as he rolled toward a driver parking a car illegally in a spot reserved for the handicapped. "I just don't like the confrontation." he said, getting out his ticket book with a sigh. "The best situation is to be able to take a photo of the car. put a ticket under the wiper and go away." The driver pulled out of the spot as Enenbach approached, but that's not always the case for the 20 members of the Omaha Handicap Parking Patrol. The patrol is one of at least 12 groups nationally that deputizes volunteers to write tickets for vehicles parked illegally in handicapped spaces. Made up mostly of handicapped people, volunteers usually write tickets during their free time, trying to catch violators while running errands in places such as a supermarket parking lot. where Enenbach was on patrol. Other patrols, like the one in Kokomo, Ind., are actually scheduled by police for ticket- - writing duty around town. volunteers the Because already know most of the handicap parking guidelines from their own experiences, most of the tickets stand up in court. "People come out and see the ticket and what are they going to do? Scream about parking in a handicapped stall to someone who is in a wheelchair with an oxygen mask?" said Sheriff Tim Dunning of Douglas County, which includes Omaha. "Most of them shut up and pay the fine." Several states, including Colorado, Florida and Michigan, have developed the volunteer programs on a city or county basis. Oregon offers the only statewide program. Fines for first-tim- e offenders Most from $100. to $10 range groups write about 1.000 tickets annually, considerably more than police patrols. "I'd say we wrote less than a n tickets on handicapped spaces last year." Dunning said. Harlan Cauthron, who sets up programs in Phoenix with the Paralyzed Veterans of America, said volunteers' safety is a major concern, but there have been few problems.
