Judge: Man can’t fix homes
Attorneys ordered to follow rules of conduct on trial publicity
By Jim Totten

Leon Bonner and his attorney,
Dennis Dubuc, left a Livingston
County courtroom empty-handed
Thursday after a judge ruled
against them on six motions in an
ongoing legal battle over Brigh-
ton’s plans to demolish two hous-
es belonging to Bonner, denying a

HEALTH
When eating turns sour
Food allergies, intolerance are unappetizing ailments
By Sarah K. Norris
DAILY PRESS & ARGUS
Getting a toddler to try new
foods can be one of the most dif-
ficult exercises a parent faces.
But when Jen Chapman hears
her son say, “Bronsen likes
that,” while pointing to her food,
she knows she can’t give him
what he’s asking for.
“Every new food Bronsen
tries has to be approved by his
doctor,” Jen Chapman said.
Bronsen, who will turn 3 in
January, has food protein-
induced enterocolitis syndrome,
or FPIES, a food intolerance that
causes Bronsen to have violent
reactions to the proteins in cer-
tain foods.
Unlike a food allergy, it’s not
Bronsen’s immune system that
reacts to the proteins in foods.
Someone suffering from a food
allergy may experience itching,
hives or shortness of breath,
while FPIES (pronounced like
the letter “F,” followed by the
word “pies”) reactions mostly
take the form of digestive prob-
lems, like vomiting and diarrhea.
Food allergies and intolerance
can range in severity from
uncomfortable to life-threaten-
ing. For people with very severe
reactions to food, accidentally
ingesting some of the allergen
can cause anaphylaxis, a severe
reaction that can cause a person
to break out in a rash or even
stop breathing.
Because there is no cure for
food allergies or food intoler-
ance, the only treatment for the
conditions is complete avoidance
of the food. This means poring
over ingredient labels, worrying
about cross-contamination and
carrying around emergency
treatment for reactions.
“The reactions turn severe
really quickly,” Jen Chapman
said. “The only way to help is to
start an IV.”
Bronsen was not diagnosed
with FPIES until he was 10
weeks old, when Jen Chapman
gave him a 6-ounce supplement
of formula and he became sick
enough to start vomiting bile.
Jen Chapman and her husband,
Mark Chapman, rushed Bronsen
to the University of Michigan
Medical Center in Ann Arbor,
where doctors were able to start
an IV and stop his reaction.
It took four days after the reac-
tion for an allergist to finally
diagnose Bronsen with FPIES.

Much of what
government calls
classified is known
By Matt Apuzzo
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Wanna hear
a secret? The United States and
Canada are probably going to
remain friends. And the conservative
and liberal party leaders in England?
They don’t like each other.
But keep that under wraps. The
United States doesn’t want that
sort of sensitive information get-
ting out for a decade or so.
While the recent leak of gov-
ernment documents onto the Web
site WikiLeaks has revealed gov-
ernment secrets on such topics as
Iran, North Korea and Yemen, the
disclosure also unmasked another
closely guarded fact: Much of
what the government says is clas-
sified isn’t much of a secret at all.
Sometimes, classified docu-
ments contained little more than
summaries of press reports.
Political banter was treated as con-
fidential government intelligence.

in severity and intolerance is often

said there are about 200 children
in the United States with FPIES.
To deal with the increasing need
for proper treatment of food aller-
gies and intolerances, the National
Institute of Allergy and Disease
released the first-ever set of clini-
cal guidelines for diagnosing food
allergies Monday.
“FAAN has been advocating
for years to have these guide-
lines,” said Julia Bradsher, CEO
of FAAN. “To improve patient
care, we needed a definitive set of
guidelines for physicians to fol-
low, to know the right way to
diagnose and treat a child or adult
with food allergies.”
The new guidelines advise that
doctors use a combination of
methods to diagnose a patient
with food allergies. Taking a com-
prehensive medical history is an
integral part of the new diagnosis
process, combined with more
standard methods like blood tests
and the “skin prick” test, where
allergens are introduced to the
patient’s skin in small amounts to
check for a reaction.
Another method used to diag-
nose food allergies is the “food
challenge” where a potential
allergen is introduced to a patient
in a controlled setting, usually a
doctor’s office.
The Chapmans are all too famil-
iar with food challenges, as they
have slowly begun to introduce
new foods into Bronsen’s diet.

The township has five wind

The towers and panels serve

Hatty also denied Dubuc’s
request to allow Bonner to repair
the homes. Seven times Dubuc

Bonner to repair the houses, and
seven times he has been denied.

Chapman said. “Now the only
things he can’t have are milk, soy
and legumes — no beans or
peanuts.”
Typically children grow out of
their FPIES symptoms in early
childhood, but it varies from child
to child. Feeding Bronsen became
easier as the Chapmans intro-
duced things like rice, wheat and
beef into his diet.
The limitations of Bronsen’s
diet still take their toll on Jen
Chapman, however.
“As he gets older, it’s harder as
we get invited to parties and
things,” she said. “He can have 90
percent of all pretzels, but if I
can’t read the label, he can’t have
any, because if it has milk or soy
ingredients, he’ll have a reaction.
“Right now, it’s so hard think-

the city can order a building to be

the costs of repair exceed 100 per-

ruled the ordinance is “unconsti-

the property owners the opportu-

Dubuc said the city’s case is
“dead.”
He said the city has not been
interested in the health and wel-

demolish these buildings. If that
was the case, Dubuc argued, the

Hatty ruled Bonner could not

with Hatty to let Bonner repair the
