Far south development ban lifted for U. of C.
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
At a community meeting Thursday night, the University of Chicago
(U. of C.) talked about upcoming
projects for the southern end of its
campus.
During the 6 p.m. meeting at
AKArama Community Service
Center, 6220 S. Ingleside Ave., the
university presented three projects
that will be built on the south side
of the university’s campus.
According to William Towns, the
assistant vice president of neighborhood initiatives at U. of C., the
university had a previous agreement
that they would not develop south
of 61st Street. Towns said that based
on community meetings and the
feedback from those meetings, there
is no longer a ban on developing
south of 61st Street.
The location for the university’s
latest charter school will sit on 63rd
Street between Greenwood and
University avenues. The currently
vacant lot will be a 70,000 square
foot three-story school with a 50
percent green roof, garden areas and
a full size football field.
Students from grades 7-12 will be
able to attend the new school.
According to Patrick Wilson, the
project manager at U. of C., construction for the charter school will
begin some time in June and the
project is expected to finish by the
winter of 2017.
The other projects consisted of the
Keller Center for the Harris School
of Public Policy that currently sits
on the site of the New Graduate
Residence Hall at 1307 E. 60th St.
The Keller Center will provide
space for teaching, research and
events.
For this project, there will mainly
be a focus on changing the interior
of the building, while maintaining
and preserving the Greek columnstyle architecture. The project will
begin this November and is expected to be completed by August
of 2018.
A modern-looking 90,000 square
foot structure will be built on the
corner of 60th Street and Woodlawn
Avenue as a place for meetings,
conferences, special events and
workshops. The new building will
be called the David M. Rubenstein
Forum because of recent gifts made
by the U. of C. alum. Construction
for this project is scheduled to begin
some time this year.
The Keller Center and the David
M. Rubenstein Forum will sit next
to each other across from the Midway Plaisance Park.
These three projects are an effort
from the university to expand and
revamp the southern end of its campus.
“There will be an overall vibrancy
and a lot more change in activity on
our South campus. These are long
time goals for our university,” said
Marlon Lynch, the associate vice
president for Safety and Security at
U. of C.

The new and improved Clarke’s
Diner, 1447 E. 53rd St., will have a
soft opening this weekend to test the
waters on the refurbished restaurant.
Franchise owner Tom Tsatas said
that they will be up and running Friday, May 27, but that they are still
in the process of training new employees, perfecting the new menu
items and getting everything together.
The diner will be open 24 hours a
day except on Mondays in June,
when it will be closed. This Tuesday, May 31, the diner will be
closed to regroup the staff on how
the opening weekend went.
“It’s always difficult to get things

up and running at first and train the
new staff but we are making sure
everything will run smoothly,” said
Rebecca Ramos, executive assistant
at Clarke’s Hyde Park.
New menu items include hummus, avocado toast, wraps, organic
options, and a chopped salad. Prices
went up about a dollar, but Tsatas
said the quality will match that of
the Lincoln Park and Evanston locations.
As far as the diner itself, the
booths and tables got an upgrade
and the front window, which is also
an accordion door, will now be used
to create an indoor-outdoor atmosphere. Tsatas said that he hopes to
open up a patio section with outdoor seating soon.

St. Thomas School Principals to transition in June
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
After a 49-year education career,
St. Thomas the Apostle School principal, Candace Scheidt, will retire at
the end of June.
Scheidt will be replaced by current assistant principal, Tim Gallo,
but is confident he will continue the
work she has implemented at the
school over her five years of leading it.
“I feel like this is the right time to
leave because I have found the right
person that I think will carry the
program beyond what I’ve done,”
Scheidt said.
The passion in Scheidt for education was present her whole life and
she says she was a born teacher.
Scheidt came to St. Thomas five
years ago by what seems like fate
after leaving her previous principal
position to get ready to retire.
“I remember taking walks in Hyde
Park and I remember stopping and
looking at this beautiful building
and saying to my companion, ‘I
want to be principal at that school
some day,’” Scheidt said. “Little did
I know that my dream would come
true.
When she was hired, she agreed to
work for five years and do as much
as she could with her time at the
school.
“After so many years in the field
of education, I felt that I’d give it
my last hurrah and I have enjoyed
every bit of it,” she said.
St. Thomas the Apostle School
principal, Candace Scheidt, will retire at the end of June.

During her time at St. Thomas,
Scheidt has doubled the enrollment,
broaden the relationship with the
community, introduced and expanded technology into the classrooms as well as intensify the
academic programs.
She said the relationship between
parents and the school has increased
and that more parents have become
involved with the school’s community making connections between
teachers and families stronger.
“At our school you have at least 80
percent of families who show up for
meetings,” she said.
When she first came in, Scheidt
encouraged experimental learning
through field trips and put an emphasis on teaching specialists like
music, art and physical education
teachers and librarians.
Gallo said he will continue
Schedit’s vision for the school once
he takes over at the end of this
school year.
“I’ve been very lucky in the sense
that she has prepared this transition
to happen seamlessly,” Gallo said.
Gallo started at St. Thomas six
years ago as a teacher and has
taught 4th and 6th grades. Scheidt
said she knew his capability early
on.
“Three years ago I asked to talk
with her and see how she thought I
was doing as a teacher and she said,
Appleby resigns as U. of C. Lab Director
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
University of Chicago (U. of C.)
Laboratory Schools Director, Robin
Appleby, announced in a letter to
the lab community Wednesday,
May 25, that she will be resigning
from the position after only two
years.
“Over the past two years, we have
been engaged in the complex and
satisfying work of completing the
final stages of the Lab+ strategic
plan, fostering the growth of the
Schools, signing a new 4-year contract with Lab’s Faculty Association, building new programs and
partnerships, and achieving full
ISACS re-accreditation,” Appleby
said in her letter. “It has been an
honor and a privilege to collaborate
on
this
important
work
with Lab’s leadership team, faculty
and staff, and our colleagues across
the University of Chicago. But
as the Schools ready for a
new strategic planning process, the
time is right for me to step away to
focus on my family and pursue
other professional opportunities
aligned with our global interests.”
Jeremy Manier, the assistant vice
president for communications at the
U. of C. said that Appleby will step
down on June 30 and a search for a
new director will begin July 1.
For the time being, Beth A. Harris
will serve as interim director. Harris’ background includes 13 years
as Vice President and General
Counsel at Lab, as well as serving
on the school board from 2002 to
2015.

rollment increase while keeping the
quality of their programs, as well as
modernizing through technology
and building development while
staying true to the school’s rich history and mission.
Scheidt said that Gallo has the
school’s mission at heart and that he
is focused on the values that St.
Thomas is built on.
“We are rooted in serving God’s
children in extraordinary variety
and rooted in community,” Gallo
said. “I’ll carry that spirit forward.”

LSC hosts emergency meeting to save asst. principal
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
An emergency Local School Council (LSC)
meeting was called last night to discuss the
sudden termination of the Murray Language
Academy Assistant Principal, Rhonda Butler.
Butler was fired on Monday, May 16, by
Principal Gregory Mason, after working there
for two years, and the school’s staff and parents had to hear through the grapevine about
her termination rather than by a formal announcement. The meeting at Murray School,
5335 S. Kenwood Ave., was called to hold a
munity’s trust and [Murray’s] leadership has
been called into question.”
Parents and staff had a lot of questions, none
of which could be answered by the LSC due
to lack of information between the council
and the administration. Smith called it a
“breach of trust in communication” and said
that “decade-long relationships have been
ripped apart.”
What was clear is that everyone thought
highly of Butler and her many roles at Murray. The assistant principal at Chicago Public
Schools has a long list of duties, including
teacher evaluation, student discipline, sched-
“The lack of communication is sickening,” said parent Daron Hurst, referring to communication
between the school administration and the parent body, during the Local School Council meeting at Murray Language Academy, 5335 S. Kenwood Ave., Wednesday, May 25.

forum for parents and teachers that had questions regarding her termination, and the tension in the air was thick.
“I think what gave us a pause was the lack of
communication,” said LSC chairwoman,
Leslie Honore- Smith. “We still have not been
formally notified as we sit here in front of
you.”
Concerned parents and staff packed the
Murray School library at the 6 p.m. meeting,
which LSC members said was the most
crowded meeting they have ever seen. The
LSC opened the floor for people to speak
their minds about the matter.
“I believe Ms. Butler was an example of excellence of hire that was made to build the
Murray community,” said teacher Thelma
Tennant, the president of the Parent Teacher
Organization. “Her firing has shaken the com-
uling, graduation, bus transportation and social and emotional learning.
A big question on everyone’s mind was
what would the school do without an assistant
principal?
Smith said that they are at risk of not having
that position next year if Butler’s place is not
filled. She said that if a position is not settled
at the time when the budget is handed out,
that position is usually not taken into consideration for the next school year.
Smith said that with graduation and end of
the year events coming up, it’s hard to understand why her termination had to happen at
such a critical point of the school year.
“I think the timing of it just isn’t ideal with
everything we have coming up,” she said.
Mason was present at the meeting and sat
quietly for the most part, until he spoke at the
Project 120 Update
Ald. Hairston to host Project 120 community meeting
By SAM RAPPAPORT
Staff Writer
Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) has
set a date for when Chicago
Park District officials will speak
with community members
about recent and proposed
changes to Jackson Park.
The meeting aims to assuage
the concerns of park goers who
have felt, in recent months, that
park revamps are going forward with little input from the
community.
The meeting is scheduled for
6 p.m., Tuesday, May 31, at La
Rabida Hospital, 6501 S.
Promontory Dr.
In addition to park district officials, representatives from the
non-profit organization Project
120 will be in attendance. Project 120 has been responsible for
many of the latest revitalization
efforts within Jackson and
Washington parks.
At a 5th Ward meeting on
Tuesday, May 24, Hairston
took issue with Project 120’s
decision-making power.
“Some people outside of the
community have decided it’s
best that they make decisions
for us,” Hairston said. “But
their vision is not our vision and
their vision is not my vision.”
Hairston explained that, at the
May 31 meeting, Park District
officials will present a timeline
of recently finished and forthcoming projects in Jackson
Park.
“Nothing is going to happen
in these parks unless we are a
part of it,” Hairston told her
constituents.
The alderman also stressed
that with the Obama Presidential Center coming to the South
Side, residents will have to become more involved in park
governance processes if they
are to have any say in future
plans.
She said, “We really need to
be involved, we can’t sit back
and let others make the decisions that impact our communities the most.”

end to address the concerns that were brought
up.
“Perhaps we may agree to disagree on how
I handle this matter,” Mason said. “That is my
decision on how I handle this matter and how
I handle all matters as it relates to running the
school.”
Mason also commented on the “inappropriateness” of the public meeting, saying, “I
don’t think these kinds of things should play
out in newspapers and I don’t think these
kinds of things should play out in pubic.”
Mason said that in response to all the concerns he heard, he will be submitting a letter
addressing those concerns that the teachers
and parents have brought to his attention on
Friday, May 27, which is Butler’s last day as
the assistant principal.
As far as if Murray will have another assistant principal or not, Mason said, “I will run
this school as I am charged to do and at that
point when I am not here someone shall do
that and that’s how the school will run and
until then I am the principal and I run this
school.”
Mason has had three assistant principals
during his years as principal at Murray.

4th on 53rd volunteer spotlight
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Believe it or not, the 4th of
July is a little over four weeks
away, and the volunteers for
the 4th on 53rd Parade are
getting ready to put together
one of the biggest events of
the year in Hyde Park.
The 25th annual 4th on 53rd
Parade will take place at 10:
30 a.m. Monday, July 4th in
Nichols Park, 1355 E. 53rd
St.
The parade, the entertainment, the decorations and the
behind the scenes magic are
all put on by a group of community volunteers dedicated
to making a successful 4th of
July for the neighborhood.
First time volunteer, Laura
Stanley, is the volunteer coordinator for this year’s
event.
“I was looking for something to fill time and get involved in the community,”
Stanley said. “It’s a great and
unique tradition to Hyde Park
and it’s something I want to
keep alive.”
Stanley is in charge of recruiting volunteers and managing them on the day of the
event. She said that right now,
there are about 30 to 40 people signed up as volunteers,
but that they need about 100
people.
“We are looking for people
to volunteer during the actual
day at this point,” she said.
“Things like running a game
or being a parade marshall.”
Local volunteers such as
Kristi Moseby, who is the
performance stage manager,
fill most of the director spots.
This is Moseby’s third year
as a volunteer and she sees it
as an opportunity to expose
her business by lending her
time.
Moseby is the owner of the
Kenwood School of Ballet
and because she is in charge
of the performance aspects of
the event, her dance students
get the opportunity to perform.
“I don’t mind giving my
time in exchange for my stu-
dents to be featured,” she
said.
Moseby does everything
from securing sponsorships
and floats to lining up the
main stage show, organizing
costume changes and getting
all the equipment needed for
the main stage at Nichols
Park.
She said she really enjoys
volunteering because of the
other business owners she has
met and made relationships
with.
“It’s fun to connect with
other business owners and
work on a project together in
the community,” Moseby
said. “We have a lot of incentive because we want our
hands in our community.”
The 4th on 53rd Parade
committee is still looking for
more volunteers, so interested residents can sign up on
the 4thon53rd.com website to
be a part of a Hyde Park tradition.

U. of C. panel focuses on the data analytics of political campaigns
By SAM RAPPAPORT
Staff Writer
Remember the Harper’s Magazine subscription you signed up for last month? The
Clinton campaign knows about it, and there’s
a good chance they’re using that information
to help predict who you’ll be voting for in November.
Modern day political campaigns are tapping
into exhaustive databases of voter information, which could include everything from
loyalty card usage to Internet searches, to
streamline outreach efforts and focus resources in areas of critical importance.
Two of the nation’s top political data strategists, Alex Lundry and Tom Bonier, came to
the University of Chicago (U. of C.), on
Wednesday, May 26, to talk about just how
well political campaigns have come to know
us.
The event, titled “In the Crosshairs: How
Campaigns Use Data to Target Voters,” took
place in International House, 1414 E. 59th St.,
and was moderated by veteran political reporter Sasha Issenberg.
Lundry, the co-founder of Deep Root Analytics and former Chief Data Scientist for the
Romney Campaign, said that voters are still
largely unaware of the extent to which campaigns sift through personal information.
“Pretty much whenever you’ve signed away
any information,” Lundry said, “it says in the
fine print, ‘we’re going to sell this information.’”
So that’s how campaigns get the information, now what do they do with it?
“We look at all the information we have on
a person and make an informed guess of who
they will vote for,” Lundry said. “It’s basically
a sophisticated form of stereotyping.”
For instance, a campaign might look at 100
people who, based on a long list of shared
variables, fit within a certain profile. If the
campaign finds that 90 of the 100 people fitting that profile say they will vote for Donald
Trump, they’re able to estimate that out of
100,000 voters fitting within the specified
profile, 90,000 of them will cast a vote for
Trump.
Bonier, CEO of TargetSmart and a veteran
democratic strategist, said that information
like this helps campaigns know where to allocate resources.
“There are so many voters we don’t need to
talk to because they’ve already given us an
answer,” Bonier said. “You all have answered
questions for us without really knowing it.”
The process is not easy, however. Complex
5
algorithms and statistical models are needed
to make sense of the thousands of variables
imbedded within these vast databases of voter
information.
Moreover, studies have shown that the data
analytics of political campaigns is really only
able to influence the election by one or two
percentage points. Thus, even the most talented data analytics team isn’t going to swing
the election unless it’s an extremely close
race.
Regardless, Lundry said, this new era of
data targeting and voter profiling has allowed
campaigns to become more fiscally responsible.
He said, “This helps campaigns be more efficient with the money that they’re already
going to spend.”

Concert focuses on quality through music
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
On Sunday, June 5, the Cantante Chicago
choir will perform a special concert at the
First Unitarian Church, 5650 S. Woodlawn
Ave.
The performance is entitled, “Walk Together,” and will focus on racial understanding and reconciliation from a wide selection
of African American spirituals. Benjamin
Rivera, the director of the choir, said that the
goal of the performance is to form a partnership of cooperation to end the racial tension
that plagues not only the city of Chicago, but
also the United States as a whole.

Raoul supports elected school board
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
State Sen. Kwame Raoul, (D-13), has sponsored a plan in favor of an elected school board
for Chicago Public Schools (CPS).
The House Bill 557, which calls for a democratic process in CPS’ school board, passed the
House on March 3 in a 110-4 margin and is currently under consideration in the Senate.
Raoul said that he plans on holding community meetings throughout the city this summer to
hear from the public and work out the details regarding the bill.
“Chicago’s children deserve nothing less than full equality with the rest of the state – parity
in funding and in democratic governance of their school district,” Raoul said in a written statement. “It’s time to get this right, and I look forward to working with our parents and advocates
to give CPS the government our schools so desperately need.”
If the bill were to pass the Senate, the city would be divided into 20 different districts for
elected board members plus one citywide member as the board president. Employees of CPS
or contractors within the school district would not be eligible to run as an elected board member. The elections would take place in 2018.
[email protected]
Tickets are $20 or $10 for students, but
Rivera said they will not turn away someone
if they can’t afford it and that they also welcome larger donations. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Chicago Children’s
Choir, which serves more than 4,000 children
across the city.
Rivera’s vision for a concert focusing on
celebrating people’s differences and diversity
has been a long time coming because of the
racial and ethnic tension he has seen while
growing up in Chicago.
“The goal is to foster a sense of community
and if we can do that through music, then I
think we can accomplish a lot,” he said.

Shots fired on Ingleside
Similarities between shootings on Ingleside and Kimbark
By SAM RAPPAPORT
Staff Writer
A shooting involving multiple young men
took place in the 6100 block of South Ingleside Avenue on Wednesday, May 25, according to a resident of the block.
A University of Chicago student who
wished to go by the initials T.L., said he was
walking near the former Fiske Elementary
School building, 6145 S. Ingleside Ave., at
about 4 p.m., when the incident occurred.
The student said he saw two cars—a white
Chevrolet Impala and a small, black SUV
with a white roof—speeding southbound on
Ingleside Avenue toward the cul-de-sac at
62nd Street. Upon reaching the dead end, T.L.
said, both cars came to a screeching halt and
a young man, who appeared to be between 15
and 16-years-old, jumped from the white
chevrolet and began sprinting toward the
Fiske school building. Two other men then exited the black SUV and ran after the fleeing
teenager.
Soon after the three men disappeared behind
the Fiske school building, T.L. said he heard
multiple gunshots.
T.L. said the two cars fled the scene just before multiple Chicago Police and University
of Chicago Police officers responded to the
incident.
One day prior to the Ingleside incident, a
white Chevrolet Impala was involved in a
drive-by shooting only a few blocks away, in
the 6100 block of South Kimbark Avenue.
Both of the shootings took place between 3
p.m. and 4 p.m. No one in either of the incidents was reported injured.
Neither the Chicago Police nor the University of Chicago Police were able to give any
information regarding the Ingleside shootings.
Chicago police often do not file incident reports for shootings that do not result in injuries.

The end of a
season and a
revolutionary
cello
By M.L. RANTALA
Classical Music Critic
T
he Chicago Ensemble concluded their
39th season at International House in
Hyde Park ten days ago on a Sunday afternoon. The ensemble brought its usual mix
of old and new chamber music and one player
brought along an intriguing new instrument
that had the audience buzzing at intermission.
On hand to perform for the ensemble were
mezzo-soprano Stacy Eckert, flutist Susan
Levitin, cellist Steven Sigurdson, and the
group’s music director and pianist, Gerald
Rizzer.
The concert opened with the Trio in F
Major, Hob. XV:17 by Haydn. The very first
strains from the cello were commanding and
bold and the striking black color of the instrument made it a point of fascination. During the intermission Sigurdson explained to
several audience members that it was a carbon fiber cello made by the new instrument
makers Luis and Clark. (It seems the company is not averse to being compared to the
great explorers Lewis and Clark.) The carbon
fiber Luis and Clark employ in their string in-
struments is the same as that used in sailing
vessels as well as in sports equipment. It is incredibly strong and durable and it creates an
instrument with powerful sound. Sigurdson
noted that a carbon fiber instrument doesn’t
always blend well with wooden string instruments, so he only plays it when doing solo
work or performing in ensembles as the only
string player. He also noted with pleasure that
Yo-Yo Ma owns a carbon fiber cello.
Not everyone is pleased with these new instruments, with some claiming, for example,
that they need to better conduct vibration.
In this case, it was a joy to hear music from
carbon fiber. Sigurdson used it to create slashing intensity as well as rumbling dark sound
in the Haydn.
Rizzer’s piano was articulate and he played
with easy amiability and a beautiful light
touch. Levitan’s flute was at times rather too
airy and a few passages were smudged.
Ravel’s Chansons Madécasses found all
four musicians on stage, with Eckert immediately capturing the audience’s attention with
her smooth sound. Her simple declarative
style was perfect for the music.
“Nahandove,” the first song of this short
cycle, opened with Eckert and Sigurdson engaged in pleasing duo work. The piano entrance introduced the more exotic and erotic
sound of the music with Eckert singing with
controlled power and a smoldering passion.
The conclusion featured some lovely, haunting piccolo work by Levitan.
The message of anti-colonialism in “Aoua!
Aoua!” was expressed with unbridled power
by Eckert and she evoked the rage of a caged
animal. Rizzer’s piano was both frightening
and threatening and Sigurdson’s cello sobbed
briefly toward the end of the work.
“It is nice” opened with engaging flute by
Levitan, later joined by very high strains from
the cello. Eckert sounded mysterious and the
calm of the music was made to seem almost
eerie.
This was followed by Ned Rorem’s 1960
Trio for flute, cello and piano. In Rizzer’s
spoken introduction to the work he noted that
Rorem had studied at Northwestern and before he began as a student there he took private lessons from the Bronzeville legend
Margaret Bonds.
The cadenzas were given shine, first by
Levitan and later by Sigurdson. The Allegro
had energy and a bit of whimsy. The Largo
was notable for Rizzer’s ominous sound at the
piano. The final movement had punch and the
often stacatto music later gave way to a big
finish.
After the intermission Sigurdson had a
chance to let his carbon fiber cello take center stage for “Incident,” a 2010 piece for cello
and piano by Patrick Castillo. This work was
a winner of the Chicago Ensemble’s ongoing
Discover America competition, a project to
reward the best in contemporary chamber
music compositions.
The cello was always clear, even in the
quiet moments and Sigurdson sounded particularly attractive in the lyrical lines which
were tinged with sadness, at times sounding
almost despondent. Rizzer’s piano provided
pretty flecks of color throughout.
Gabriel Pierné’s Sonata da Camera, a 1926
work for flute, cello and piano, opened with
a spirited melody that the trio made cheerful.
Sigurdson had heartfelt sound in the Sarabande and the Finale found all the players
creating an agreeable bouncy effect.
Eckert returned for the final work on the
program, “Seis Canciones Castellanas,” six
folk songs by Jesús Guridi. Although based
on Basque folk songs, Rizzer explained that
the music was as much Guridi’s as it was traditional and the results were pleasing. Written
for soprano, Rizzer and Eckert transposed
down a couple of the songs. Eckert’s rich
lower register was on display in the opening
song, and there was strength with dignity in
“I don’t want your hazelnuts.” Throughout,
Eckert displayed a natural approach to the text
and Rizzer’s support was flowing and well
punctuated.
As always, the concert included a splendid
reception with coffee, tea and wine as well as
a brimming buffet of fruit, cheese, meatballs
and more. Before the concert, at the intermission, and after the music ended, members of
the audience chatted with each other as well
as with the artists while enjoying nibbles and
sips.
After the concert Rizzer spoke to me briefly
about next season – the ensemble’s 40th. He
said the Chicago Ensemble was thinking
about experimenting with the format of their
concerts, perhaps designing each one around
different ideas: a vocal concert, one devoted
entirely to warhorses, one made up of only esoteric music, and so on.

“Tug of War:
Foreign Fire”
RECOMMENDED
Where: Chicago Shakespeare Theater,
Navy Pier
When: through June 12
Tickets: $85-$100
Phone: 312-595-5600
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
I
t takes chutzpah to turn Shakespeare into
an anti-war advocate and his history plays
into a quasi rock epic, but that’s pretty
much what Chicago Shakespeare Theater
artistic director Barbara Gaines does with
“Tug of War: Foreign Fire,” the first half of
her marathon adaptation of half-a-dozen of
the Bard’s works (though one, “Edward III,”
probably was only partly by him). The second
half, “Tug of War: Civil Strife,” debuts in the
fall, and together they’re the centerpiece of
the year-long Shakespeare 400 Chicago celebrating his legacy four centuries after this
death.
Clocking in at six hours including two intermissions and a 45-minute meal break, “Tug
of War: Foreign Fire” combines parts of “Edward III,” “Henry V,” and “Henry VI, Part I”
to focus on the 14th- and early 15th-century
wars between England and France, though it
also touches on struggles with Scotland and
sets up the discord among nobles that will
lead to civil war. The title not only suggests a
battle for supremacy but also an age-old children’s game, and Gaines’ opening image is of
a bunch of kings in paper crowns competing
for control of a gilded tire suspended from the
ceiling.
The point, of course, is that the reasons the
royals make war on each other are equally
childish. Capricious English King Edward III
(an impassioned, imperious Freddie Stevenson) claims the French throne from his
mother’s side but initially goes north to ward
off King David of Scotland (Neil Friedman)
who has captured the Earl of Warwick
(Michael Aaron Lindner) and his daughter,
the Countess of Salisbury (Karen Aldridge,
bringing depth to all her roles). It’s only when
she rejects his lustful advances that he redirects his energies and joins his son, Edward,

Nancy J. Johnstone, 83
Nancy J. Johnstone passed away peacefully
on May 25, 2016, in the University of
Chicago’s Center for Care and Discovery
Hospital. A Hyde Park resident for 55 years,
she was 83 at the time of her death.
Johnstone was born in Detroit to Harold and
Pearl Stavers on August 2, 1932.
Widely known for her generosity, graciousness, and warmth, Johnstone was an accomplished professional woman. She received her
B.A. from Wittenberg University in Ohio, and
in 1954 enrolled in the prestigious School of
Social Service Administration (SSA) at the
University of Chicago (U. of C.). There, she
met her future Canadian-born husband, John
Johnstone and within a year had moved with
him to Ottawa where she earned her Masters
degree in Social Work at Carleton University.
Nancy and John returned to Hyde Park in
1961 and two sons were born to the family.
Johnstone began her career as a social
worker at Youth Guidance, a social service
agency, located in downtown Chicago. Youth
Guidance is noted for its high-quality, innovative school-based programs targeted to
Chicago’s at-risk children and youth. For 32
Say It!
Let us know what you think.
years, Johnstone served as the Executive Director of Youth Guidance. She was instrumental in establishing, in partnership with
Chicago Public Schools, the first full-time offices within area schools, thus laying the
foundation for innovative school-based initiatives. Today, this capacity building in-school
programming is the cornerstone of Youth
Guidance, directly serving more than 8500
youth. Under Johnstone’s leadership, the
agency grew from a budget of $100, 000 and
eight staff members to one of $5 million with
more than 100 dedicated staff. Johnstone retired from Youth Guidance in 2005 only to
take on the co-leadership of the Hyde Parkbased Chicago Child Care Society, the oldest
existing child welfare agency in Illinois. In
2012, at 79, she retired from CCCS.
For 18 years Johnstone was a lecturer at U.
of C., teaching both social work and professional development, and she was a Life Member of SSA’s Visiting Committee. In 1994,
Johnstone received a Public Services Citation
from the U. of C. Alumni Association for exemplary leadership in voluntary service. In
addition to being an advocate for at-risk
youth, Johnstone rallied for Chicago’s professional women; among other things, she
was a life member of The Chicago Network,
an organization of women in professional
leadership positions throughout the Chicago
area.
In addition to traveling in Europe, the family spent many summers in Southwest Michigan, where Johnstone enjoyed gardening and
swimming. She loved planning holidays and
celebratory events with her family and delighted in visiting her sister and brother-inlaw, Jean and Jim Leighton, both now
deceased, in San Diego.
Johnstone is survived by her loving husband
John and her sons Eric and Bruce. A celebration of life for Johnstone will be held later
this summer. Donations may be sent to Youth
Guidance or the Chicago Child Care Society.

Shoesmith holds rally in support of CPS 20 for 20
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
All 516 students at Shoesmith Elementary
School, 1330 E. 50th St., participated in a
rally on the afternoon of Thursday, May 26, as
part of the 20 for 20 campaign hosted by
Chicago Public Schools (CPS).
CPS students are 20 percent of the state’s
total enrollment and the families and communities provide 20 percent of the tax money
that funds public education. Despite these figures, CPS schools receive only 15 percent of
the state’s funding on education. The 20 for
20 campaign is trying to even the playing
field between CPS schools and the rest of the
state’s districts.
At Shoesmith, students were surprisingly in
tune with what is going on in Springfield.
“We’re marching to show awareness that
Gov. [Bruce] Rauner needs to give us a fair
budget,” said sixth grade student Nyla Ealey.
“It’s just horrible and unfair and unequal for
our schools.”
Students marched around the perimeter of
Kenwood Park holding picket signs they
made themselves and chanting things such as,
“Two, four, six, eight! Governor Rauner,
don’t discriminate!” and “Equality means you
and me!”
“We are here to go out and engage our kids
because they have tons of questions about this
and are forming their own opinions,” said
Principal Sabrina Gates.
Their march coincides with some of their
classroom studies, as the 4th graders are
studying the history of protests and 5th
graders are learning about human rights.
First grade student Jeremiah Thiocary even
wrote a letter to Rauner on Wednesday complaining about the inequality between North
Side and South Side schools.
“I want everything that up North has,” Thiocary said. “They can take iPads home and do
their homework on it and we don’t get that because we are on the South Side.”
Thiocary, along with his classmates, held
their signs up proud and chanted loud for the
right to equal education.
Shoesmith teacher Patricia Lofton said it’s
inspiring the kids are getting involved.
“It’s good that they are aware of their surroundings and their school and what’s going
on right now,” Lofton said.
Last week, CPS announced the 2016-17
school year cuts, which could end up being
between 20 to 30 percent at each school.
Lofton said that 20 percent for Shoesmith
would be $290,000 or three-to-four teaching
positions or programs that could get cut.
Shoesmith students also rallied at 9 a.m. on
Friday morning down 53rd Street to spread
awareness on the 20 for 20 campaign to their
community.
“Two, four, six, eight, Governor do not discriminate,” chanted students from Shoesmith Elementary School, 1330 E. 50th St., as they marched around Kenwood Community Park protesting
budget cuts, Thursday, May 26.

Last month Baroque Band issued a
shocking email to the press and to their subscribers announcing that its upcoming June
concerts would be the ensemble’s very last.
After these three performances, this early
music group will disband.
The final concert is entitled “L’Arte
del Violino” (The art of the violin) and includes Bach’s Concerto for two violins in D
minor as well as works by Locatelli and
Leclair. Guest soloists will be violinist Rachel
Marc Monaghan
Barton Pine and Jesse Irons. Baroque Band
founder and artistic director Garry Clarke will
conduct.
The ensemble will give this concert
in three different venues: tonight at 7:30 p.m.
in the Grainger Ballroom at Symphony Center (220 S. Michigan Ave.), Friday at 7:30
p.m. in Hyde Park’s Augustana Lutheran
Church (5500 S. Woodlawn Ave.), and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Music Institute of
Chicago (1490 Chicago Ave., Evanston).
For nine seasons Baroque Band has
been a presence in Hyde Park and has built a
local following. Its final concert in the neighborhood — and its penultimate concert ever
— will be a bittersweet affair for many.

When: through June 12
Tickets: $45-$65
Phone: 773-753-4472
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
I
generally don’t like farce, but Richard Bean’s “One Man,
Two Guvnors” is one of the funniest shows I’ve seen at
Court Theatre—or anywhere. Director Charles Newell has
assembled a cast of Chicago’s A-list actors, and the way they
play off each other to make this exercise in sheer silliness their
own is an inspired example of carefully orchestrated chaos.
An adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s 18th-century commediastyle classic, “The Servant of Two Masters,” “One Man, Two
Guvnors” transposes the action to Brighton, England, in 1963
and adds songs by Grant Olding that satirize the pop music of
the time, including the Beatles, of course. In Court’s production, the multi-talented actors not only sing and dance, they
also play the musical instruments, yielding some amusing interludes, such as a solo on saw. There’s also a bit with the evergrowing skiffle band (under musical director Doug Peck)
performing a bluesy number on a moving trolley pushed with
greater and greater difficulty by one Francis Henshall.
Francis is the “man” in the title, and the harlequin character
of commedia dell’arte, who is named Truffaldino in Goldoni.
Nicholas Hytner’s original 2011 National Theatre production
of Bean’s play, which eventually went to Broadway, earned
accolades—and a spot on late-night American television—
for British comic James Corden in the role.
Timothy Edward Kane, Court’s Francis, is a totally different
physical type that the pudgy Corden, but I can’t imagine any-
one being more hilarious. He anchors the increasingly frantic
antics with amazing physical agility and impish glee, while
admitting that he’s not the brightest and is just trying to satisfy
his all-consuming hunger in the first act and lust in the second.
Kane also has us in the palm of his hand, whether he’s breaking the fourth wall to explain commedia, slyly alluding to his
own incredible one-man “An Iliad” at Court (one of many insider jokes), or bringing an audience member onstage to help
him amass his own lunch in a tour de force dining scene that
has him juggling his two “guvnors” (employers) and their
meals both physically and metaphorically.
Those two guvnors are gangster Roscoe Crabbe, who has
come to Brighton with his manservant Francis to collect on a
debt from local underworld figure, Charles “the Duck” Clench
(Francis Guinan), and Stanley Stubbers (the perfectly deadpan Erik Hellman), the upper-class English twit who hires him
(and insists on calling him “Henshall”) while he’s hiding out
in preparation for fleeing to Australia. But it turns out that
Roscoe isn’t really Roscoe but rather his twin sister, Rachel
(diminutive spitfire Elizabeth Ledo), who has disguised herself
as her brother to get the money to run away with her lover,
who happens to be Stanley, who has murdered Roscoe.
Got that? Well, it doesn’t really matter. The point is that
Francis does everything to keep his two guvnors from finding
out about each other whereas all the confusion would clear up
if they got together.
But that’s not all: There’s also a subplot. Charles “the
Duck’s” remarkably empty-headed daughter, Pauline (Chaon
Cross), was supposed to wed Roscoe as part of the debt payment, but since everyone heard he was dead, she is seemingly
free to marry her true love, Alan Dangle (Alex Goodrich), an
aspiring actor.
The evening opens with their engagement party, which is a
little hard to get into because of the deliberately bad jokes and
British Music Hall schtick. The others present are Alan’s father, Harry Dangle (Ross Lehman), who also is Charles’
lawyer; Jamaican-born landlord Lloyd Boateng (Allen
Gilmore), an old friend of Rachel’s, and Dolly (Hollis Resnik),
Charles’ bookkeeper and a proto-feminist with a craving for
men who becomes the object of Francis’ affections and frequent invitations for a weekend in mispronounced Majorca.
Then Roscoe and Francis show up—and all hell, complete
with plenty of pratfalls and buffoonery, breaks loose.
Rounding out the cast are Derek Hasenstab and Elisa Carlson, who leads the band on percussion. Lehman also doubles
as a trembling geriatric waiter with a poorly functioning pacemaker and a penchant for opening wine bottles in a most peculiar way, one of the many marvelous moments of visual
comedy.
Rather than making any attempt to be realistic, Newell’s
staging reflects the artifice of theater and the origins of commedia as street performance. Collette Pollard’s scenic design,
enhanced by Keith Parham’s lighting, features a painted sea-

THEATER
from page 14
side backdrop and a boardwalk flanked by two tiny buildings
where the guvnors are respectively ensconced for their meals.
In front is a strip of sand with a couple of beach chairs and
other paraphernalia. Mara Blumenfeld’s outrageous costumes
capture the period but really push the boundaries into clown
territory. They’re also full of delightful details like “the
Duck’s” yellow accents.
Court’s season has overall been pretty serious, so capping it
with a show that’s as much fun as “One Man, Two Guvnors”
is the a great idea and an ideal way to start the summer. Go see
it.
Say It!

David Adler, whose hand is also evident. The current owners have created an
enchanting home out of a work in progress. Much of the preparation needed
to renovate and update this amazing property has been completed. The house

of living in a masterpiece which also happens to be a fantastic family home.
