CARE plans to start shelter in Skokie Group drew concern in 2014 for high euthanasia rate By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
Community Animal Rescue Effort, an animal rescue organization that used to operate Evanston Animal Shelter, is planning to start a shelter in Skokie. CARE operated Evanston Animal Shelter starting in 1987, the city asked them to vacate the space in April 2014 amid controversy over canine euthanasia rates. Karey Uhler, a volunteer with the group and member of the board, said they were excited about the move, as they currently have been operating under a foster home system, in which animals are hosted at homes of volunteers before they are adopted. “We always wanted a permanent space to be able to help more animals,” Uhler told The Daily. “This space will be able to help us rescue more animals.” Uhler said the group was “in love” with the building, and Skokie’s centralized location in the North Shore suburbs was ideal. The group also hopes to be able to provide dog training out of their new shelter. “Our goal is to always help the community they are in,” Uhler said. In 2014, communit y
members and the City Council became concerned with the group’s euthanasia rate among the dogs they took in. At the time, an animal shelter volunteer who had been keeping records reported the rate was between 45 to 50 percent, a number which was disputed by CARE officials. When staff from the city and CARE could not compromise on a plan to move forward, City Council voted to remove the group from the municipally-owned shelter. A new group, Saving Animals for Evanston, has been running the animal shelter since 2015. Uhler said the group doesn’t want to dwell on the past. She said CARE’s current live release rate is over 97 percent. “It’s really hard being a volunteer organization, we all love animals,” Uhler said. “The numbers don’t always tell the full story.” CARE will operate in Skokie as a private facility, Uhler said. In an email, Uhler wrote “while working within the Evanston system there were standard operating procedures, rules and regulations that needed to be followed. CARE will be operating under an entirely different model in Skokie.” CARE is a no-kill organization, meaning that they do not euthanize animals due to limited time or space, Uhler said.

Weinberg freshman Chuyuan Qiu, originally from Nanjing, China, will be remembered at an on-campus memorial service on Friday in Alice Millar Chapel.
Friends remember Weinberg freshman as adventurous, kind By ALICE YIN

When Chuyuan “Chu” Qiu was accepted to Northwestern University, her friends knew she had found her next adventure. “There will be so many things to discover in Northwestern,” she told Yi Gao, first-year Cornell University
graduate student and a childhood friend, in January. The two were chatting about the future excursions to Chicago and the foreign dishes of the Midwestern United States that Qiu would experience. Qiu was a Weinberg freshman, resident of the Residential College of Community and Cultural Studies and member of the Kaplan Humanities Scholars Program. On Sept. 22, the
Nanjing, China native was fatally hit by a cement truck while biking on Sheridan Road and Garrett Place. “We were telling her how exciting the life at Northwestern will be,” Gao said. “And it’s just so sad. She can’t actually experience what we said.” Qiu’s death has sparked Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) to call for a lowered speed limit on Sheridan Road, a sentiment echoed by Communication
senior Emily Blim in an online petition that has culled more than 550 supporters, as of Thursday evening. Bike lane installations for Sheridan Road were postponed by City Council in 2014 until 2017. A graduate of Nanjing Foreign Language School, Qiu ran for and won a student council position as chair of student life and » See CHU, page 11
Late-night dining options relocate New food truck Elder late-night goes to Sargent; Fran’s moves into Hinman By YVONNE KIM

W ith ne w loc ations for late-night food and improvements to dining hall options, Northwestern Dining is implementing changes beyond the altered closing times at Norris University Center this year. Elder and Willard dining halls used to offer late-night dining, but the services have been relocated to Sargent and Hinman dining halls, respectively. Fran’s Cafe moved to Hinman after Willard closed at the end of last year. “While we can’t fully recreate the atmosphere that was Fran’s, we are definitely trying to make sure that the menu is reflective of Willard,” said Ken Field, director of dining.

Berrios described the new environment as less cozy and emptier than last year. “I don’t know if it’s because
people don’t know about us, but it’s not even half,” she said. “There’s a lot of people who live in this building who don’t know we are here.” Fran’s is now open one hour longer, from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., Mondays through Thursdays. It ser ves the same food as it did last year with some items added to the menu, Berrios said. Though it will no longer be open for late-night dining, Elder now offers breakfast between 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., said general manager of resident dining Buzz Doyle. “We felt like more students would access and use the late-night option if we moved it to Sargent and made it more convenient,” Field said. Doyle said the transition from Elder to Sargent has been smooth. About 150 » See DINING, page 8
rolls into Evanston First to open since city council passed new food truck law By JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @TheJonahDylan
Shortly after turning 50, Nathaniel Davis decided to quit his job at Dyson, a vacuumcleaner manufacturing company, and start a food truck. Davis had no professional experience cooking, but invested in a food truck, called Wicked Good Wiches, nonetheless. “I’ve always really wanted to own a restaurant, but the idea of a food truck really grabbed me,” Davis said. “I decided, rather than continuing my career, I would do this.” When Davis started the process of obtaining a license for a food truck in Evanston around
six months ago, only businesses with a brick-and-mortar location in the city could operate a food truck. But in June, city council passed an ordinance that opened the food truck market in Evanston to businesses without a brick-and-mortar location. Wicked Good Wiches is the first food truck in Evanston to be licensed under the new rules. And just four and a half weeks ago, he started operating in downtown Evanston. Davis typically is open for lunch on weekdays at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Sheridan Road, near Allison Hall. Evanston’s old food truck law also didn’t allow trucks to operate within 100 feet of any establishment that sold food, including schools and hotels. This rule and the brickand-mortar requirement led another food truck to sue the » See FOOD TRUCK, page 11
