1882
John Rogers Sr. honored with street naming
By SONIA SCHLESINGER
Herald Intern
Hyde Park residents, city officials
and family of John W. Rogers Sr.
gathered at Stony Island Avenue
and 57th Street on the morning of
July 5 to dedicate an honorary street
sign to the late Judge.
Several city officials and family
members gave tributes to Rogers,
including Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, Ald. Leslie
Hairston (5th), Mayor Rahm
Emanuel, Rogers’ son John W.
Rogers Jr. and Rogers’ cousin
Juanita Temple.
Rogers, a long-time Hyde Park
resident who died in 2014, flew 120
missions over Europe during World
War II as a Captain in the AfricanAmerican Squadron, Tuskegee Airmen’s 99th Pursuit.
After the war he applied to the
University of Chicago Law School
but was turned down. In response,
he went to the Law School in his
Captain’s uniform and successfully
argued that, having served his country, he deserved admission. After he
graduated in 1948, he formed a private law firm. In 1977, Rogers was
appointed to the Cook County Juvenile Court where he served for 21
years.
“This [dedication] is a small way
of recognizing a person who…put
their thumb on the scales of justice
and tipped it towards justice,”
Emanuel said. “We are a better city,
a better community, and clearly a
better country because of all the
things John Rogers fought for…and
I want to thank the entire Rogers
family for sharing him with the city
of Chicago.”
Emanuel then introduced John
Rogers Jr., founder, Chairman and
CEO of Ariel Investments. “Our
“Die-In”
public accomplishments are great
things but our personal accomplishments are also meaningful,”
Emanuel said. “And we can all see
the accomplishments of John
Rogers Sr. as a father by looking at
John Rogers Jr.”
Rogers Jr., who attended the University of Chicago Lab School,
spoke of the impact that Hyde Park
and the University of Chicago had
on his father.
“I know my parents chose to live
here because of the specialness of
Hyde Park and its commitment to
helping others,” he said. “So many
great leaders have come from this
community and I think it’s not a coincidence because there is something magical going on here.”
Jesse Jackson Sr., who also attended the event, cited Rogers’ insistence on fighting in Europe and
attending U. of C. Law School as a
testament to his character.
Marc Monaghan
“His will to fight back against all
odds is what defines him,” Jackson
said after the ceremony.

Locals revive the Blue Gargoyle
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
About forty men and women protest the killing of young black
men and women by police, with a “Die-In” on East Hyde Park
Boulevard just south of President Obama's house on Greenwood Avenue, Friday, July 8.

Members of John Rogers Sr.’s family including his nieces Laurel Stradford
(on far left) and Juanita Temple (on far right), his widow Gwendolyn Dubose Rogers (2nd from left), granddaughter Victoria Rogers (3rd from left)
and son John Rogers Jr. (center) are joined by Cook County board president Toni Preckwinkle, Ald. Leslie Hairston (5th) and Mayor Rahm
Emanuel as they pose with a copy of a sign designating the portion of 57th
Street between Stony Island Avenue and South Cornell Drive, Honorary
John W. Rogers Drive, Tuesday, July 5.
In 2009, The Blue Gargoyle
closed its doors after serving South
Side residents for over four decades
with youth activities, youth and
adult education programs and social
services. Now, seven years later, the
Blue Gargoyle is coming back to
provide community needs once
again.
The nonprofit organization originally closed due to lack of funding
from the state. It is now being revitalized by a group of people that include singer Maggie Brown.
“At the time I didn’t realize it, but
my band was hired to play a benefit
for the Blue Gargoyle back then,”
Brown said. “I knew it was to raise
funds but I didn’t know how close
they were to closing their doors.”
In its hay day, the Blue Gargoyle
provided adult and youth literacy
classes, counseling and tutoring
services, crisis intervention, GED
preparation and employment services to over 1,000 people of all ages
with over 100 volunteers.
The intention to bring back Blue
Gargoyle has always been in the
backs of the minds of those who
were involved with its programs and
had positive experiences there.
While the new Blue Gargoyle will
be a little different based on new
needs and resources, the name, the
location at the University Church,
5655 S. University Ave., and the
goals remain the same.
“The mission is to provide alternative activities to youth and have a
community hub that allows for collaboration and communication,”
Brown said.
With the help of the University of
Chicago’s Community Programs
Accelerator, the new Blue Gargoyle
will have the resources and help
from the program’s students to carry
out the mission that was started in
1968. Brown said they already have
some volunteers and interns who
are interested in working at the new
organization.
The current focus is to develop the
programs that will make up the
Blue Gargoyle as well as building
up partnerships from other area organizations.
Brown said the new organization
will have after school programs and
weekend activities that focus on

culture and the arts. While Brown
said the biggest need right now is to
focus on youth, specifically teens,
they will not be excluding those
who need the organization’s services.
“It all depends on what the community needs,” she said. “We do not
need to define or limit it to anything
right now.”
Right now, Brown and the board
of five people are working to get the
word out about Blue Gargoyle’s
comeback. Brown and her sister,
Africa, are hosting a series of variety shows that highlight youth performances to get the word out about
what is to come.
The next shows are July 29 and
Aug. 19 starting at 7 p.m. at the
University Church. Admission fee
is $5.
Brown said that while things are
very much in the early stages of
opening, it is “in the realm of possibility” that the Blue Gargoyle will
be serving the community once
again by the end of this year.

Harper Court flower store closed
Smart Comics
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
The floral design store, Nancy
Krause, 5229 S. Harper Ct., closed
its doors for good on Tuesday, July
5, after being in the Hyde Park
neighborhood for two years.
Krause said that despite loyal
clientele, the store wasn’t generating as much business as her Lincoln
Park store located at 1101 W. Web-
ster St.
“The clients that I did have here
were fabulous and wonderful people and they tried to be really supportive, but with rent and
everything, it gets expensive,”
Krause said.
She said the decision to close
down shop was her last option,
since her time at Hyde Park has
been nothing but a positive experience.
“It makes me really sad,” she said.
Krause said that she will still be
able to serve those clients from
Hyde Park since she delivers across
the city.
Nancy Krause is the eighth business to close in the neighborhood so
far in 2016.

Local Vet Center faces closure

Washington Park’s Remake The
World (RTW) Vet Center has until
October to remedy a number of
building code violations or else it
faces closure by the city.
Founded in 2010 by the husbandwife duo of Arnetha GholstonHabeel and Daniel “Doc” Habeel,
RTW Vet Center, 5536 S. King Dr.,
has developed from a food pantry
for veterans into a multi-faceted resource center for Washington Park’s
destitute community members.
For years now, the center has provided food, housing and links to
mental health services for Washington Park’s homeless, unemployed
and working-poor.
In April 2015, however, Chicago’s
Department of Buildings slapped 38
building code violations onto the
center, threatening its survival. City
officials told Gholston-Habeel at the
time that the code violations came
after an undisclosed person requested that the vet center building
be inspected.
The building code violations cite
faulty doorways, defective plumbing and a damaged porch among
other things.
John Worthy, a member of RTW’s
board of directors, said the organization would need to raise approximately $75,000 to complete the
necessary building repairs by October of this year.
According to Worthy, the October
deadline is actually an extension
that the city granted RTW in May.
Worthy said that the organization
has turned to private donors as its
last hope for survival.
“At this point,” Worthy said, “it’s
up in the air. As it stands now, we
are far from having the resources to
get all of this taken care of.”
Worthy said that if the vet center
is to fold, a large number of impoverished and disabled South Side residents will be left without any
support structure whatsoever.
“If you show up downstairs and
sign your name, we will feed you
until you’re full,” Worthy said. “No
one else in the city will do that.”

Family wins $53 million malpractice trial against UCMC
By SONIA SCHLESINGER
Herald Intern
A Cook County jury awarded $53
million to a 12-year old boy and his
mother, Thursday, June 30, as a result of their 2013 lawsuit against the
University of Chicago Medical
Center (UCMC). This is the largest
medical malpractice suit in Cook
County history, according to prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Fieger.
The boy, Isaiah Ewing, was born
in 2004 at UCMC with a severe
brain injury after nearly 12 hours in
fetal distress. He now lives in a
wheelchair; his mother, Lisa Ewing,
feeds and dresses him. The $53 million sum includes $28.8 million for
caretaking and $7.2 million for future medical expenses.
The Ewings’ lawsuit, represented
by Fieger, detailed UCMC doctors’
and nurses’ neglect of the mother
and child, from failure to recognize
abnormal fetal heart rate to failure
to perform a timely cesarean section.
At a June 30 news conference following the jury’s announcement of
the verdict, Fieger told reporters
that Ewing had not experienced any
problems in her pregnancy prior to
her son’s birth. He explained that
UCMC records indicate Isaiah’s
suffocation due to lack of oxygen at
birth rather than the hospital’s claim
that he had contracted a phantom
brain infection they never could
have detected.
“It’s complete nonsense, all of the
records say he was suffocated at
birth and they made a phony claim
at the trial that the records were
lies,” Fieger said in an interview
with the Herald. “The child, Isaiah,
was taken immediately to the
neonatal Intensive Care Unit and

they diagnosed him as suffering for
asphyxia and that was the diagnosis
for 12 years.”
During the suit, the hospital filed
for mistrial. A UCMC statement
following the announcement of the
verdict said the Michigan appellate
court had deemed Feiger’s tactics
“an attempt to incite the jury to heap
upon the defendant the moral outrage that is now reserved for the
Nazis.”
Lorna Wong, director of media relations for UCMC, said in the statement that the defendant believes
Fieger’s improper conduct influ-
enced the decision.
“When [the jury doesn’t] believe
that the records are false, to then say
blame the lawyer, that’s laughable,”
Fieger said. “It should have been
higher than $53 million but that’s
how it works in America. If you
have money you can say anything.”

July 13, 2016, Hyde Park Herald
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Longtime Hyde Park resident and former
local politician Abner Mikva passed away on
Monday, July 4, at the age of 90.
Mikva’s Hyde Park legacy began when he
started as a student at the University of
Chicago Law School in 1948. It was when he
was living in Hyde Park that he decided to
run for a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives for the 23rd District and after winning the primary, was the first independent
Democrat from Chicago to have been elected
to the state legislature.
In 1968, Mikva became the State Representative for the 2nd Congressional District,
which included the Hyde Park neighborhood
that he lived in. He represented Hyde Park
until the districts were redrawn in 1972.
He described his time in Hyde Park in a
1991 Hyde Park Herald article by saying,
“I’ve always said Hyde Park isn’t a neighborhood, but a state of mind. People who live
there just identify with the community.”
From 1975 to 1979 he was a member of the
U.S. House of Representatives from Illinois’
10th District.
Mikva would go on to be appointed by former President Bill Clinton as the Chief Judge
of the U.S. Court of Appeals where he served
from 1991 until 1995. Under the Clinton
presidency, he was also in the White House
Counsel in 1994 and 1995.
Though he had an impressive political career, his daughter, Rachel Mikva, said that he
was always most passionate about his time in
Congress.
Abner Mikva
1926-2016
Rachel Mikva, the director of the Center for
Jewish, Christian and
Islamic Studies at the
Chicago Theological
Seminary, said that that
same passion ended up
igniting in her and her
siblings for their future
careers.
“He was committed
to repair the world and
make a difference in
people’s lives, but he
was also powerfully
committed to his family so he instilled in us
a capacity to believe in
ourselves and each
other and a community’s strength to work
together,” she said.
Mikva returned to Hyde Park again in 1997
where he and his wife, Zoe, founded the
Mikva Challenge, which Rachel Mikva said
was always his greatest life’s work and was
the best thing he ever did. The Mikva Challenge is an organization that challenges high
school students, teachers and schools in the
Chicago area to be active participants in the
political process.
President Barack Obama even attributes his
President Barack Obama presented Abner Mikva with the Presidential Medal of Freedom
in 2014.

“At heart, his identity was most bound up
in the legislative process and being a Congressman,” Rachel Mikva said.
Growing up seeing her father promote positive change through his political roles,
political passion to Mikva, back when
Obama met Mikva at the University of
Chicago Law School, where Mikva was the
Schwarz Lecturer.

Obama said in a prepared statement. “He
saw something in me
that I didn’t yet see in
myself, but I know
why he did it—Ab
represented the best of
public service himself
and he believed in empowering the next
generation of young
people to shape our
country.”
Obama presented
Mikva with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014.
Mikva was an established politician, but
was also very much
involved in the Civil
Rights Movement and social justice issues.
In April of 1991, Mikva told the Hyde Park
Herald that he and his wife “were very much
a part of the civil rights movement in
Chicago.”
Mikva went on the say, “It’s an old labor of
love…the stimulation of being involved in
the important issues of the time is beyond description.”
Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. of Rainbow
PUSH said Mikva was a strong supporter of
Dr. Martin Luther King, the freedom
marches, open housing, fairness and equal
justice for all.
“I consider him a friend and a mentor and
celebrate the reunion of Ab Mikva and Dr.
3
King, brothers united in heaven,” Jackson
said in a written statement.
Rachel Mikva also spoke about her father’s
passion for social justice.
“Everything he did, every position he held,
was about social justice,” said Rachel Mikva.
“Throughout my adult life, I have heard wonderful stories about the ways in which my
parents’ work, has inspired people’s own desire, commitment and capacity to make a difference in the world.”
A public memorial ceremony for Mikva
will be scheduled for early August. In lieu of
flowers, Mikva’s family invites friends to
make a donation to the Ab and Zoe Legacy
Fund at Mikva Challenge.

During his lifetime, Abner Mikva was a
politician, judge, professor and civil rights
advocate.

Op-Ed: Mikva’s Lesson on Democracy Resonates Today
I grew up four blocks away from Abner
Mikva’s house in Evanston. In the late 70’s,
my contact with then Congressman Mikva
was limited to trips to his house on Halloween
when he or one of his family members would
hand out full size Hershey bars to the neighborhood ghosts and pirates. I appreciated
his largesse so much that one year I
changed out of my cardboard robot costume
and came back to his door as “boy in wrangler jeans with metallic silver face paint” just
to get another one of those jumbo chocolate
bars.
As a member of a not-very-political
Evanston family, I made the understandable
mistake of assuming that the exclamation
mark at the end of the myriad Mikva! teeshirts worn by every third person in Evanston
was in recognition of his confectionery generosity.
As a college junior at the University of
Michigan, I spent the winter of 1990 interning
at the Washington DC based Rainbow Lobby,
an organization dedicated to election reform
— long before election reform was a mainstream topic. The Rainbow Lobby battled to
level the playing field for third-party candidates and independent voters. We challenged
ballot access rules for third-party candidates,
the partisan construct of the Federal Election
Commission and the News Election Service,
and we picked a fight with the newly formed
Commission on Presidential debates in a case,
Fulani V. Brady, that wound up on then Judge
Mikva’s desk.
The case was groundbreaking. Lenora Fulani, the first African-American and woman
to appear on the presidential ballot, was arbitrarily denied a place in the Presidential debates in 1988. Fulani sued to challenge the tax
exempt status of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which the DNC and RNC
had only recently established to guarantee direct party control over the fall debates.
We lost the case on the grounds that Fulani
lacked standing to challenge the CPD’s tax
exempt status. But Judge Mikva dissented
most eloquently, and his words still echo
today. He wrote “whatever its proper role in
correcting imbalances and imperfections in
the status quo, government certainly must not
abandon its posture of nonpartisanship. The
government of any democracy, let alone one
shaped by the values of our Constitution’s
First Amendment, must avoid tilting the electoral playing field, lest the democracy itself
become tarnished.”
His words inspired me and many others to
devote our lives to the advancement of
democracy – which 25 years later continues
to require vigilance.
Today, American politics lies somewhere on
the spectrum between rigged and dysfunctional. Voters are angry and distrustful of
politicians and political institutions, most especially the political parties which have overstepped their bounds in many ways. 43% of
Americans now identify as independents — a
protest against the complete partisanization of
every aspect of politics and government. Our
democracy has become tarnished because
lawmakers have indeed tilted the playing field
in favor of party control and against new
voices, new coalitions, and most especially
the voters, as Judge Mikva warned 25 years
ago.
And so the work continues and I hope he
would be proud. As president of Open Pri-
maries, a national political reform organization, we are working to push back against partisanship and enact public primaries so that
everyone can vote for who they want, regardless of party. We’re an important voice in the
growing voter empowerment movement. In
September, I am coming back to Chicago to
participate in a political reform summit sponsored by the Illinois Campaign for Political
Reform at Columbia College. We will be discussing—among other issues like redistricting reform—“Illinois Primaries: How Open
Are They?”
Abner Mikva recognized the danger of government itself becoming a platform for partisan politics many years ago. We would be
wise to heed his words as we grapple with
how to move our politics, and our country,
forward. I remember his words every day,
just as I remember those chocolate bars.
John Opdycke
President of Open Primaries
Jennie Mendelson, 94
Jennie Mendelson (nee Rosenberg) died on June 28 at the age of
94.
Mendelson grew up in New Jersey, attended Newark College of
Engineering and moved to Hyde
Park in Chicago with her late husband Saul Mendelson in the late
1940’s. Later they moved to South
Shore.
Mendelson was active in politics
and a generous advocate of pro-
gressive causes. She was a founding member of Women Strike For
Peace and along with her husband
Saul, led efforts to desegregate
Chicago’s
Rainbow
Beach.
Mendelson was a member of Independent Voters of Illinois for 40
years, of which her husband was at
one time State Chair and then South
Side Chair. The Mendelsons were
helpful in introducing Barack
Obama to progressive Hyde Park–
South Shore politics and getting
him the critical IVI endorsement
when Obama first ran for office in
the 13th State Senatorial District in
1996. Mendelson worked at the
University of Chicago for 25 years,
where she supervised the Admissions Office of the Graduate Humanities Division and was very
proud to show her U. of C. gold
watch.
Mendelson is survived by sons
Jack (Carole), Neal and Paul and
granddaughter Emma Mendelson.
A memorial service is planned.
Memorials in her name may be sent
to The Greater Chicago Food Depository, 4100 W. Ann Lurie Place,
Chicago, Illinois 60632.

Letter to the Editor response: Campoli’s“Egg”sculpture in Nichols Park should have a plaque
To the Editor:
Recently I made a close-up inspection of Cosmo Campoli’s “Egg”
sculpture, now situated next to and
on the north side of the Murray Language Academyon 53d Street in
Hyde Park.
To my dismay, I could not find a
plaque or any other kind of identification in the vicinity of the piece,
stating either its title or the artist’s
name. This is a shame. Campoli was
a famous Chicago artist in the ‘50s.
He was one of only three Chicago
artists who were included in the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition titled New Images of Man. For many
years he was also an important and
much-loved instructor at IIT’s Institute of Design.
ADVICE PLEASE: Who, or what
agency, institution, etc., should be informed of, or appealed to, to rectify
this unfortunate situation?
Thank you for your consideration.
Richard G. Sessions
Cosmo Campoli’s Bird of Peace sculpture in Nichols Park, 1355 E. 53rd
St.
Spencer Bibbs
Mr. Sessions:
The sculpture that Mr. Sessions
refers to in the letter, Bird of Peace,
is a bronze statue whose body is
shaped like an egg, and whose claws
stand atop two more eggs. Its artist,
Cosmo Campoli, created it in 1970
and it was dedicated to Nichols Park
on June 3 of that year. It is affectionately known as the Nichols Park
mascot and underwent a $10,000
restoration in 2004.
Campoli, who specialized in eggrelated art, built the sculpture that
stands at the 53rd Street entrance to
Nichols Park near Murray Elementary School. The Nichols Park egg
sculpture is one of many around the
country. The most famous is “The
Bird of Death” from the New York
Museum of Modern Art’s 1959 exhibit, the “Images of Man.”
A Hyde Park native, Campoli
taught at the Institute of Design at
the Illinois Institute of Technology.
His work was exhibited at the Hyde
Park art center. He was particularly
interested in conveying bird’s spirits
in his works, most of which now be-

long to private collections.
Campoli is beloved in Hyde Park.
A local Thai restaurant once named
one of their dishes “Pasta Campoli”
in his honor. In 2005, a group of
Hyde Parkers assembled outside the
sculpture to sing happy birthday to
him.
While the sculpture does not have a
plaque, it does have a nameplate that
lies directly in front of the base of the
sculpture and reads Bird of Peace,
Cosmo Campoli, 1922-1997. Be-
cause the sculpture is located in the
park, the Chicago Park District
would be the city department to contact to request a plaque. The Chicago
Park District’s Park Enhancement
Committee would review the proposal, primarily considering issues
of funding and the historical importance of the artwork before determining whether to grant the request.

Winners of SECC neighborhood enhancements include organizations in Hyde Park and Washington Park
By SARAH PAN
Herald Intern
Last Wednesday, July 6, the South East
Chicago Commission (SECC) announced the
six winners of the 2016 Neighborhood Enhancement Grants. The grant winners were
picked based on written proposals and
strength of potential neighborhood impact.
The projects will further the city’s beautification.
“This is one of many ways the SECC and
our partners commit to improving the quality
of life in our footprint neighborhoods, and we
could not be more pleased with the response
from the community. We received 15 applications for this year’s Neighborhood Enhancement Grant program, so there is clearly a need
for funding small community beautification
projects,” said Wendy Walker Williams, SECC
Executive Director.
The 2016 winners and projects for Hyde
Park area include:
* Cornell Park Advisory Council: Installation of the Cornell Park Nature Area & Kiosk,
located at 54th and Cornell, with a focus on
native plants. (Hyde Park)
* Chicago Public Arts Group: To complete
the 57th Street Underpass Mural by installing
the two final mosaic panels. (Hyde Park)
* Washington Park Chamber of Commerce:
55th Street Business Beautification Project to
include landscaping and installations along the
Garfield Boulevard/55th Street corridor on va-
cant and business lots. (Washington Park)
“With so many amazing projects, it was not
an easy task to select the final slate. The committee was truly inspired by the creativity, passion, and dedication that all of the applicants
bring to their communities. We are confident
the completed projects will inspire civic pride
and be springboards for further enhancements,” SECC Board Member Jennifer Bosch,
who chaired the grant committee, said.

University of Chicago alum gets his own exhibit
By SARAH PAN
Herald Intern
Class of 1911 University of Chicago graduate Cyrus Baldridge (1889-1977), traveler,
artist and author, now has his own exhibit in
the University of Chicago’s U. of C. Special
Collections Research Center Exhibition Library. The exhibit opened Friday, June 24, in
the library at 1100 E. 57th St.
The exhibit, “Cyrus Leroy Baldridge: Illustrator, Explorer, Activist,” showcases a
number of illustrations Baldridge previously
gave to the university, as well as a number of
never before showcased pieces. U. of C.
alumnus Jay Mulberry, who also played a role
in curating the exhibition, loaned some of
these pieces.
“He was a person with a very unusual
background, and some amazing skills and
personality traits,” Mulberry said. “As an
adult, he was constantly on the move. Him
and his wife went places and did things that
no one else at that time did.”
Cyrus began his illustrations as a frontline
artist of World War I, describing war life to
newspapers. He later traveled around the
world with his partner, author Caroline
Singer, illustrating a number of books written
by her.
“I hope that the sense of story telling, of
which Baldridge was a master, will come
across in the way we have structured the exhibition,” Alice Kain, co-curator of the exhibit, said. “We selected artworks that
highlight his key books and travels, and we
have supplemented this with photographs and
other pieces to give a complete picture of his
background and motivations.”
Baldridge kept in close contact with the U.
of C. after graduating, donating a number of
his works to the libraries.
“He remained very dedicated to the school,
and eventually gave a great deal of money and
much of his collection to the University,”
Mulberry said. “They’ve been sitting there for
about 60 years, this is the first time they’ll be
on display.”
The exhibit will bring Baldridge some lost
recognition.
“This is a big thing for me. It’s like a dream
come true,” Mulberry said adding that it
makes him happy to see Baldrige getting the
recognition he deserves.
“I hope people will find the artworks themselves as fascinating and striking as I did
when I first encountered them,” Kain said.
“They speak for themselves, the colors are

vivid and subjects range from portraiture to
imaginary landscape, from scenes of war to
children’s books...there is a huge variety. This
is the first time the majority of these pieces

Litehouse Grill hosts rap battle at biweekly tournament
By Sonia Schlesinger
HERALD INTERN
The Litehouse Whole Food Grill, 1373 E.
53rd St., will host its biweekly Open Mic
Night on Friday, July 15, at 8 p.m. While the
event, run by Ronald Edwards, usually in-
cludes pre-selected artists, this week’s Open
Mic will feature the second round of a rap battle that began at the July 1 Open Mic Night.
The event is tournament-style: on July 1 the
12 starting teams were narrowed down to six
for the July 15 event. The six will compete
against each other in groups of two (Kosi vs.
CB Beatz; Booman vs. Stark of HUEY; and
Lockwood vs. Sly Messi) to determine which
three teams will move to the final round for
the July 22 event.
According to Edwards, some of the groups
are regulars at open mic nights while some are
new. To determine which contestants and
works would compete, Edwards put a submission process on his website for which each
group had to send three beats, and he chose
the ones he liked best.
Edwards explained that the tournament

DuSable hosts 42nd annual Arts and Crafts Festival
By SARAH PAN
Herald Intern
Last weekend, July 9 and 10, the DuSable Museum of
African-American History held its 42nd Annual Arts and
Crafts Festival in Washington Park. The festival ran from noon
to 10 p.m. both days, with free admission.
The festival was lively with people constantly coming and
going around the dozens of white tents spread out in front of
DuSable Museum, 740 E. 56th Pl. Jazz and blues music was
loudly broadcast across the park from a large center stage,
from both live musicians and DJs at different intervals during
the day.
Art sold at the Festival ranged from bags and hats to shirts
and jewelry, from paintings and clothing to baskets and woodcarvings. A majority of the products were handmade and
uniquely crafted. A number of food vendors were present as
well, goods ranging from homegrown fruit to hot dogs.
The Museum’s founder Margaret Burroughs created the Festival in 1974.
“Dr. Margaret Burroughs realized there was no place that
showcased African-Americans,” festival manager Marilyn
Hunter said, “So in 1974, she decided she would hold an annual arts and crafts festival to showcase African-Americans
in this community.”
The 2016 Festival theme was “Connecting Black Art & History-Celebrating Excellence,” celebrating the Museum’s mission “to promote understanding and inspire appreciation of
the achievements, contributions and experiences of African
American history, culture and art.”
“It’s a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy family and friends, and also visit the museum to
see our exciting new exhibits, including Drapetomanis: Grupo
Antillano and the Art of Afro Cuba, our beautiful Masterworks
Gallery and Freedom, Resistance and the Journey Toward
Equality,” Perri Irmer, DuSable Museum President and CEO,
said.

“Bat Boy: The
Musical”
SOMEWHAT RECOMMENDED
Where: Griffin Theatre Company at The
Den Theatre’s Heath Main Stage, 1329 N.
Milwaukee Ave.
When: through July 24
Tickets: $39.50
Phone: 866-811-4111
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
J
udging by the riotous audience response
at the performance I attended (not the
opening), Griffin Theatre Company’s
Chicago premiere of “Bat Boy: The Musical”
has gained a cult following.
Frankly, I don’t get it.
The 1997 musical with a book by Brian
Flemming and music and lyrics by Laurence
O’Keefe (“Legally Blonde,” “Heathers: The
Musical”) is a ridiculously overplotted mishmash that draws on everything from bad horror films to revival meetings and careens
wildly between satire and seriousness. Inspired by a series in the defunct “Weekly
World News” about a half boy/half bat creature discovered in a cave, it also explores a
host of themes ranging from our fear of anything different to age-old questions about the
relative importance of nature and nurture and
whether or not education can tame man
enough to control the beast within.
The main problem with Griffin’s production
directed by Scott Weinstein is that it can’t decide whether to play it straight or camp it up,
and so it alternates disconcertingly and never
establishes any consistency of tone. The buffoonery is exacerbated by the fact that many
of the actors play multiple characters, often
changing just a wig, jacket, or apron right in
front of us to switch genders as well as roles.
Another issue is that the five-person band
conducted by musical director/keyboardist
Charlotte Rivard-Hoster is very loud, and the
miked performers are too amped up for the
size of the space. Half of the often clever
lyrics of the mostly rock numbers get lost, especially as they crescendo to their finales. The
next morning, I could barely remember a single melody, much less any of the words.
In Flemming’s version, the adolescent Bat
Boy (Henry McGinniss) is discovered in the
cave—nicely conjured by set designers Jeff
Kmiec and Greg Pinsoneault, lighting designer Brandon Wardell, and sound designer
Christopher Kriz—in Hope Falls, West Virginia, population 500, by three amateur spelunkers, one of whom he bites out of fear.
They capture him and take him to the local
Sheriff (Michael Kingston) who, not knowing
quite what to do, brings him to the home of
town veterinarian, Dr. Thomas Parker (Matt
W. Miles), thinking that he’ll probably be put
down.
But while the vet is a away on a hunting trip,
his wife Meredith (Anne Sheridan Smith)
forms an attachment to the boy, who’s being
kept in a cage, and daughter Shelley (Tiffany
Tatreau) decides she’d like to keep him as a
pet. Mom renames him Edgar, and when she
finds him howling along to her lullaby, sets
about teaching him to speak, read, and generally become civilized.
The only thing is Edgar won’t eat the delicious meals Meredith cooks for him. However, Dr. Parker immediately recognizes the
problem and not only agrees to let his estranged wife keep her new surrogate son if
she’ll return to his bed, unbeknownst to her,
he also supplies the boy with a steady diet of
small furry animals, so he can drink their
blood.
Meanwhile, the townspeople, who’ve been
forced to rely on ranching since the steel mill
closed, are up in arms because their cattle are
dying due to a mysterious cause. In addition,
Ruthie (Erin Daly), the girl bitten in the cave,
doesn’t seem to be getting better. They blame
the Bat Boy for these misfortunes and can’t
believe Dr. Parker has kept him alive.
For his part, Edgar, who has become erudite
with an upper-crust British accent, thanks to
BBC language tapes and Meredith’s instruction, keenly feels pain and guilt due to his
baser nature. He wants to be saved and to
prove to the town that he’s changed, and he
sees an upcoming revival meeting led by the
Rev. Billy Hightower (Ron King) as a way to
do both. When Dr. Parker, who has promised
the town he’ll keep the boy away from the
meeting, fails to dissuade him or Meredith
from going, he realizes he’ll never win his
wife back and instead puts his secret agenda
for revenge into action.
Shelley has fallen in love with Edgar and,
helping him escape from the mob, offers him
salvation in the form of carnal bliss—in a parody of the “Peaceable Kingdom” presided
over by the great god Pan and a panoply of
animals and animal puppets devised by costume designer Izumi Inaba and puppet designers Lolly Extract and Amber Marsh,
whose work is a highlight of the show.
Their happiness, alas, is short-lived. Between a complicated, hair-raising back story
that makes the relationship between Edgar
and Shelley impossible and Dr. Parker’s part
in this history, the family is doomed.
The only reason to care, though, is McGinniss’ well-grounded performance as Bat
Boy/Edgar. Lanky and agile, he seems almost
infinitely varied and engaging as he morphs
from a wild animal into a troubled young man
with a soul. If the rest of “Bat Boy: The Musical” matched him in believability, it would
actually have more of a bite.
“Chimerica”
RECOMMENDED
Where: TimeLine Theatre Company, 615
W. Wellington Ave.
When: through July 31
Tickets: $22-$51
Phone: 773-281-8463
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
L
ucy Kirkwood’s “Chimerica,” a London hit and winner of the 2014 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play,
is a not unfamiliar blend of mystery-thriller
and newspaper procedural sparked by the
iconic photo of the “Tank Man” with shopping bags in both hands standing defiantly in
front of a row of tanks trying to leave Beijing’s Tiananmen Square the day after the
June 4, 1989 massacre of protestors. The
Chicago premiere at TimeLine Theatre Company comes across as the British playwright’s
indictment of the superpowers’ shortcomings
ranging from American journalistic practices
to Chinese government oppression.
Taking her title from a term coined by Harvard historian Niall Ferguson in his 2008
“The Ascent of Money,” which details the codependent economic relationship between
China and the United States, Kirkwood also
looks at the political and social differences
and similarities between the countries and
their cultures, as well as their mutual
hypocrisy. Perhaps most intriguingly, she
highlights the misconceptions—especially
about the nature of heroism—that arise from
judging by appearances.
Her story ping-pongs in time and space between Beijing and New York following two
men, one American and one Chinese who,
like their nations, may consider themselves
friends but really don’t understand each other.
As a romantic interest for the American photographer, there’s an English market research
pro who mistakenly thinks she can profile
Chinese shoppers and quantify their habits
using a Western model, while the Chinese
teacher is a widower haunted by his wife
whose death is key to the plot.
Two early images of the fictional photographer, Joe Schofield (Coburn Goss), provide
insight into his character. As a young man, he
excitedly snaps the “Tank Man” photo from
his hotel room window while talking to his
crusty wise-cracking editor, Frank Hadley
(H.B. Ward), at a thinly disguised New York
Times. The Chinese security forces are
pounding on his door, and he hurriedly hides
the film. Fast forward 23 years, and Joe is a
hard-boiled veteran photojournalist on a plane
back to Beijing with his gruff wise-cracking
reporter colleague, Mel (Chris Rickett), when
they strike up a conversation with Tessa
Kendrick (Eleni Pappageorge), who is equally
tough-talking but more vulnerable than she
seems. Tessa is chugging down cocktails because she’s terrified of flying, so Joe holds her
hand to calm her during takeoff.
We later find out, when they’re back in New
York having an argument-fueled on-again offagain affair, that they also had sex on the
plane, which Joe claims was his charitable attempt to distract her from her fears. Beside
being something that’s unlikely to happen in
real life, this is just one example of his questionable, unbelievable behavior.
Joe becomes obsessed with what happened
to the mysterious “Tank Man”—and questions like ‘What was in his shopping bags?’
When he gets a tip that he might be alive and
living in New York, he decides to track him
down, convinced that commemorating his act
of heroism, seen ‘round the world in those
pre-internet times, will be a service to him
and to humanity, not to mention a great story.
In his increasingly desperate search, Joe
does things no halfway ethical journalist
would ever do. They include blackmailing a
senator with a youthful photo of her snorting
cocaine to get information from voting
records, paying off a fishmonger for a lead,
and assaulting a flower seller who may be related to the person he’s looking for. He’s remorseful at times but relentless and basically
oblivious to the consequences of his actions,
even as he destroys the lives of almost everyone with whom he comes in contact.
Meanwhile, back in Beijing, Joe’s friend
Zhang Lin (Norman Yap), the moral conscience of the play, becomes one of the victims of his thoughtlessness. Zhang Lin also
grapples with memories of his wife and
Tiananmen Square, was well as the death of
his neighbor, at age 59, from pollution caused
by the city’s smog.
Zhang Lin’s struggle is the most harrowing
part of the play, and Kirkwood has a very neat
twist at the end that I didn’t quite see coming,
though I should have. The three hours getting
to that point, however, are something of a
slog, especially given the numerous stereotypes and the playwright’s morally superior
attitude.
TimeLine’s fairly straighforward alley staging neither enhances nor diminishes the piece.
Director Nick Bowling lets some of the actors
shout too much, but he coaxes fine performances from others—among them Christine
Bunuan, Cheryl Hamada, Caron Buinis, Dan
Lin, and Janelle Villas—in a variety of minor
roles. Wai Yim also stands out as Zhang Wei,
Zhang Lin’s more fearful and conservative but
loving brother.
John Culbert’s scenic design is fairly minimal, with most of the context coming from
Mike Tutaj’s projections. The lighting is by
Brian Sidney Bembridge; the apropos costumes are by Sally Dolembo, and André J.
Pluess is responsible for the sometimes melodramatic sound design.
Overall, I was intrigued while I was watching “Chimerica” but rather unsatisfied afterward.

Compost transport service celebrates first year in Hyde Park - Kenwood
By SARAH PAN
Herald Intern
Healthy Soil Compost (HSC), a Chicago organization that
transports neighborhood compost materials to earthworm
farms and other agriculture coalitions, celebrated its first year
of service on July 1. The organization has had Hyde Park residential participants since the beginning of its development
and in the past few months hired more cyclists, including one
stationed solely in Hyde Park.
The service is entirely bicycle powered: employees travel by
bike to pickup locations and transport the organic waste (such
as scraps of food, loose paper and garden trimmings) to locations where they can be broken down into compost and reused
as soil.
“I choose to be bicycle powered because it allows for a much
greater social interaction and to create conversation about
waste,” Jonathan Scheffel, founder and manager of HSC, said.
“When I’m carrying my trailer, it allows people to know what
we’re doing. I don’t think I’d get those interactions on a truck.”
Currently, HSC has around 200 residential and 11 commercial members.
“The first members were in Hyde Park,” Scheffel said.
“They’re still with us; they love it. A lot of people interested
in composting down there: it’s a big community of gardeners.”
Five new cyclists were recently hired, including Kenwood
resident, Jason Jackson. He transports compost materials from
between four to 12 stops around Hyde Park twice a week.
“I love it,” Jackson said about the job. “This is my favorite
part of the day. Not that I don’t enjoy my other job, but this is
just a ride in the open air; I get to see everybody. I’m a waver,
LITEHOUSE

serves his goal in diversifying his open mic nights.
“I’m always looking for ways to separate myself from other
open mics. I want everything I do to stand out,” he said. “I realized that there were a lot of very great producers in the background while the rappers got all the shine, so I wanted to give
the producers the spotlight and do something different. I put
those concepts together and came up with this.”
[email protected]
like ‘Hey everybody! Hey!’ It’s great to be out in the community and see everybody’s face.”
There are 34 locations in Hyde Park currently using HSC
services, with that number changing every week. Monthly
pickups start at $15.
“Anybody’s a potential member,” Scheffel said. “Sixty percent of trash is generally compostable or biodegradable. It’s
just such a simple thing to separate and recycle.”
The service plays a big role in recycling new, healthy soil
for farmers and gardeners.
“You can’t grow more life without recycling life,” Scheffel
said. “Healthy food is grown using healthy soil. You can’t
grow healthy soil without returning the organic matter back.”
