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.

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 MORE INSIDE...

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.

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. Photo Courtesy of St. Thomas 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.

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.” [email protected] Tim Gallo will become the new principal of St. Thomas the Apostle School., He is currently the assistant principal at the school and will take over responsibilites as the school’s head once current principal Candice Scheidt Spencer Bibbs steps down June 30.

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. Marc Monaghan Local School Council (LSC) secretary and community representative Michael Scott interrupts LSC chair Lesle Honoré Smith to propose a motion, which was seconded and passed, that fellow LSC member parent representative Nkrumuh Hopkins be asked to leave the LSC meeting for not respecting the chair during the meeting at Murray Language Academy, 5335 S. Kenwood Ave., Wednesday, May 25. Marc Monaghan 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.” [email protected] 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.

I also understand that she has been interested in this position since former Alderm a n [ T o n i ] Preckwinkle stepped down but was not able to garner political support. The relevance with this, if true, is that if she was interested in this position six years ago, why would she not have become more visible with things to point to since then. She has said on numerous occasions that she was not sent by anyone. I believe that. I have not heard one elected official come out to speak aggressively in her favor. That is both refreshing and alarming at the same time. The same individuals from city hall that shared that she had an interest back in 2010/2011 said her sponsors may not have been elected officials but that the mayor was lobbied by the business elite. Any input that you can give would be appreciated. Although I do my best to get out of the house to attend community events and meetings (much less the past year due to a debilitating condition) so I am thankful for outlets like your newspaper and web presence to get information out to the masses when I cannot be there in person. My goal is to get a more precise understanding of who Ms. King is by clarifying who she has been. There is a local pastor that said he would not stand by as someone who has not been involved in community engagement becomes alderman. Well, he is one of the references for Ms. King, yet I can not find any references to Ms. King being involved in the community on the development, education or violence that has been out front as issues the 4th ward has faced. The good news is I have heard again and again that Alderman King has worked tirelessly to meet individuals, groups and organizations since she took office. That is a great sign of someone that is willing to work and a reason to think the best. Anything you can do to bring light to this subject I would be thankful. Thank you. Sincerely, James T.

[email protected] 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.

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.” [email protected] 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. “As I look at current racial and ethnic ten- sions, which have been a part of our city’s his- of Rivera’s.

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.

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. [email protected] Police searching for four suspects in Woodlawn shooting By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer Chicago Police and University of Chicago (U. of C.) Police responded to a shots fired call in the 6100 block of South Kimbark Avenue, Tuesday, May 24, at approximately 3:25 p.m. According to an U. of C. security alert, four possible suspects in a white Chevrolet Impala were seen leaving the area at a high rate of speed. No one was injured in the incident, and police are unsure of the motive for the shooting. At the time of the shooting, students at Andrew Carnegie Elementary School, 1414 E. 61st Pl., which is only a few blocks away from the site of the incident, were preparing to leave for the day. [email protected] 8 Hyde Park Herald, June 1, 2016 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.

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).

See CALENDAR on page 14 June 1, 2016, Hyde Park Herald 11 12 Hyde Park Herald, June 1, 2016 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. Nancy J.

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.

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.

All in all, “Tug of War: Foreign Fire” is an audacious experiment and engaging enough that I can’t wait to see what “Civil Strife,” which includes “Henry VI, Parts 2 and 3” and “Richard II,” is like. “One Man, Two Guvnors” HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Where: Court Theatre, 5535 S. Ellis Ave. 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- See THEATER on page 16 CALENDAR from page 10 Wednesday, June 1 Shannon Cason’s Homemade Stories. $15-$20. 7 p.m. The Promontory, 5311 S.

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! Let us know what you think. Send letters to: Editor, Hyde Park Herald 1525 E. 53rd St., Suite 920, Chicago, IL 60615 email: [email protected] Solution to May 25, 2016 Crossword Puzzle 16 HUNGRY?
