Strautmanis is a Chicago native with close ties to the Obamas. He acted as a close aide to the president throughout his first term in the White House and for a time served as Chief of Staff to Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett. This was one of several community meetings Strautmanis said he would have when the foundation announced that it would be moving to Hyde Park last November. At Tuesday’s meeting, which took place at Bret Harte Elementary School, 1556 E. 56th St., Strautma- nis maintained that the OPC would be a community-driven institution. “[The Obamas] want it to be a place that inspires civic engagement,” Strautmanis said. “It will tell a story of their presidency, but they also want it to be connected to the community—to be alive.” Strautmanis aimed to dispel any notions that the University of Chicago (U. of C.) is running the show. “Some people believe this is run by the University of Chicago,” he said. “It is not.” While the U. of C. submitted the winning bid that ultimately brought the Obama Foundation and the OPC to the South Side of Chicago, Strautmanis said that the university only serves as a partner, of which the Obama Foundation has many. “[U. of C.] is an important partner but we have several other partners,” Strautmanis said. When Strautmanis was pressed for the identities of the other partners, he named public sector groups such as Chicago’s City Council and various government agencies, private foundations across the city, academic institutions and interest groups such as the Jackson Park Advisory Council. “Our intention is to do this in partnership with the community,” Strautmanis said. “And I do believe my presence here denotes the importance of the community’s role throughout the process.” After the meeting, community member Judith L. Sensibar remained skeptical about Strautmanis’s promise of community inclusion. “I want to know, who are the money partners?” Sensibar said, pointing to the idea that the foundation might be more accountable to the groups bankrolling the project than the community. “The University of Chicago is a major player here, and it’s not so interested in what the community thinks.” Michael Strautmanis, Obama Foundation vice president for community engagement, spoke about community partnerships, Marc 22, during a 5th ward meeting at Bret Harte Elementary School, 1556 E. 56th St. Marc Monaghan Strautmanis said he plans on making future appearances at community meetings, but gave no schedule. After estimating that the OPC would have an opening date in 2021 or 2022, Strautmanis said, “We’ll have a lot of conversations. There’s a lot of work to do between here and then.” [email protected] New playgrounds planned for Nichols Park By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer While Diwan acknowledged that her survey could not guarantee a representative sample of community members or prevent multiple voting, she did note that the process garnered responses from more people than would have ever showed up to a park advisory council meeting. “I think it was a great resource,” Diwan said. “Parents are online all the time now, and it’s so easy to get quick feedback.” Though the results of the survey were non-binding, Diwan said that NPAC took the results into consideration and actually ended up voting in favor of the same options. Franklin said the survey helped to streamline the procedure. “It was really a good process and Two new playground complexes will soon be coming to Nichols Park, according to Nichols Park Advisory Council (NPAC) President Stephanie Franklin. They will replace both the park’s ‘baby playground,’ at the park’s southwest corner near Kimbark Ave., and ‘bigkids playground,’ near 54th St. and Kenwood Ave. Franklin said that the funding is being provided by the Chicago Park District, which offered a choice between five playground options for each of the two locations in Nichols Park, 1355 E. 53rd St. To help the decision along, Sarah Diwan, Executive Director of the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, created an online survey listing the different playground options and distributed it amongst local parents. Diwan received over 300 responses to her survey. She presented the results at a March 10 NPAC Rendering of “baby playground” in Nichols Park,1355 E. 53rd St. meeting. Rendering of “big kid playground” in Nichols Park, 1355 E. 53rd St. Photo courtesy of Chicago Park District a good way to do it,” she said. Both Franklin and Diwan said that while the playground options provoked mostly positive responses, some community members were discontent with the amount of brightly colored plastic used in both complexes. “Many people are very happy,” Diwan said, “but there was one Photo courtesy of Chicago Park District MORE INSIDE... Blotter ......................7 Sports ......................5 Calendar ..................11 Theater ....................13 Music ......................10 Classifieds ................17 common line of dissatisfaction, which was not liking that both playgrounds have a lot of plastic. I think people might have liked to see more wooden equipment.” Franklin said that construction on the new playgrounds will begin sometime next Fall.

CTU voted 486 to 124 to authorize the Day of Action at a union meeting March 23. The Day of Action was organized in response to Chicago Public Schools’ (CPS) plans to cut teachers’ pay by 7 percent in April. CTU describes the Day of Action as a day “to build our momentum by joining thousands of parents, community members and other labor organizations.” The other organizations that will participate in the Day of Action include United Electrical Workers Western Region, Fight for $15 and Chicago State University Faculty Union. Community groups such as the Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization, Black Lives Matter Chicago and Parents for Teachers will also join in on the day. CTU is asking its members to begin picketing at their respective schools at 6:30 a.m. Teachers will not be in school classrooms on this day and will not be paid. In preparation for this event, community activist Lakeisha Hamilton has secured two locations for children to go to on this day if they need supervision. The United Church of Hyde Park, 1448 E. 53rd St., will take in children from kindergarten through sixth grade. The University Church of Chicago, 5655 S. University Ave., will host kids from seventh through 12th grade. The hours of the sites are 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and students should arrive with a lunch and $5. To register your student at one of these locations, contact Hamilton at [email protected]. Hamilton is also looking for volunteers to supervise the locations as well. The Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, 5480 S. Kenwood Ave., will also take in kids that day as part of their “No-School Vacation Days” for $50 to $60. CPS CEO Forrest Claypool responded to CTU’s announcement saying in a written statement, “We’re particularly disappointed that the CTU leadership has given Governor [Bruce] Rauner more ammunition in his misguided attempt to bankrupt and take over Chicago Public Schools.” [email protected] DuSable Museum partners with the Smithsonian By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer The DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Pl., announced, March, 23, that it is beginning a collaborative partnership with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The museum’s recently granted “Smithsonian Af- filiation” will allow DuSable to borrow Smithsonian artifacts and access traveling exhibits. The partnership will also provide the Smithsonian with access to DuSable’s rarely seen paintings and sculptures. DuSable President and CEO Perri Irmer applauded the partnership, which she said would offer the Hyde Park museum global recognition. “With Affiliate status, DuSable will bring the Smithsonian to the community and DuSable to the world,” Irmer said. “The partnership will also expose the museum’s Masterworks Collection to a broader audience by giving the work and the artists international exposure.” With the partnership, Dusable will also be able to offer Smithsonian memberships at discounted rates to its members. Irmer said, “Now members of the DuSable museum will gain access to more than 200 institutions worldwide.” DuSable is Chicago’s second institution to gain Smithsonian Affili- ate status, the first being the Adler Planetarium. Over 200 Smithsonian Affiliate organizations exist across 45 states, Puerto Rico and Panama. Including the DuSable, there are now six affiliates in Illinois. [email protected] Jamie Kalven awarded Ridenhour Courage Prize By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer Hyde Park-based journalist Jamie Kalven is the 2016 recipient of The Ridenhour Courage Prize, an award given out by the Nation Institute and Fertel Foundation that recognizes an individual’s “courageous and life-long defense of the public interest and passionate commitment to social justice.” Kalven, the founder and executive director of the journalistic production company the Invisible Institute, has garnered national attention recently for his in-depth coverage of issues of police misconduct. In February, Kalven received the 2016 George Polk award for Local Reporting. The Ridenhour Courage Prize selection committee pointed to Kalven’s work surrounding the Laquan McDonald case as well his efforts in making public over 56,000 police misconduct complaints, which he and his team organized into a database available at cpdp.co. “Jamie Kalven has for decades fought bravely to protect truthtellers while as a journalist helping amplify their stories,” the selection committee said. “Kalven’s incisive reporting in Slate’s ‘16 Shots’ gave voice to a courageous source who revealed the official police narrative’s cover-up in the shooting of Laquan McDonald. The still anonymous Whistleblower disclosed the existence of the dash-cam video of the shooting that ultimately resulted in national outrage…. We are honored to award Jamie Kalven and the Invisible Institute the 2016 Riden- hour Courage Prize for this potent combination of fearless reporting and proven human rights advocacy.” Kalven said his first reaction after learning that he received the prize was to recall one of his father’s favorite quotes. “My first reaction when I learned I had been selected to receive the 2016 Ridenhour Courage Prize was to recall a Robert Benchley line my father enjoyed quoting: ‘You must be thinking of the other Mozart,’” Kalven said. “My second was to be at once honored and hum- bled to find myself in the company of past prize recipients. My third and enduring reaction is profound gratitude for this acknowledgement of past work that serves as inspiration for the work that lies ahead.” Past Ridenhour Courage Prize recipients include President Jimmy Carter, Gloria Steinem, U. S. Rep. John Lewis (D- GA) and journalist Seymour M. Hersh. The prize is accompanied by a stipend of $10,000. [email protected] Ray, Murray, Ancona, U. of C. Charter in school news By ALLISON MATYUS Staff Writer Local teachers recognized Ray Elementary School, 5631 S. Kimbark Ave., Principal Megan Thole and Ray teacher Andrea McGehee were recognized as part of the 2016 class of the National Board Certified Chicago Public Schools (CPS) teachers. Thole and McGehee were part of a group of teachers that engaged in over a year’s worth of voluntary self-analysis and taking a closer look at their teaching methods in order to improve themselves and their students. Being a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) is the highest gold standard any teacher can receive. According to CPS, the district has the most Board-certified teachers than any other urban school district in the country. Murray Scholarships Twenty Murray Language Academy, 5355 S.

He was 94. The life of Herman Cohn was a life welllived. He served his country bravely, he served his community tirelessly and he served his men’s store customers with flair. In Cohn’s heyday, some called him the unofficial “Mayor of Hyde Park,” but he was most proud to be called patriarch of the Cohn family. Cohn was born in Germany on September 8, 1921, and lived a comfortable childhood until his world was turned upside down by Nazi atrocities. He was lucky to make his escape in 1939, on the last Kindertransport. The following year, he and his family settled in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, where other family members had moved. Cohn wasted no time in getting acclimated. He also wasted no time in courting his soon-to-bewife, Elsa Kahn. When the U.S. entered WWII, Cohn enlisted in the army and became a valuable asset, since he spoke German and knew the landscape in Germany. Right after D-Day, he landed on Omaha Beach and, later, his troop was one of those sent to liberate Dachau Concentration Camp, with no idea of the horrors to be found there. Cohn’s letters to Kahn eloquently recounted his experiences. He felt strongly that he had to say the unspeakable and bring these horrors to light. Some years ago, Cohn was interviewed for Steven Spielberg’s “Shoah.” Last year, he was interviewed and showcased in Emmanuel Rotstein’s “The Liberators” for The History Channel – Germany. Along with other liberators and survivors of Dachau, Cohn was honored last spring in Munich, during the initial screening of the documentary and during events surrounding the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Dachau. The documentary was just shown in the U.S. last November, on The History Channel. Back home after the war, Cohn purchased a dry cleaners business and, then, partnering with Eric Stern, he opened Cohn & Stern Men’s Store, which lasted as a Hyde Park institution for 54 years. Cohn counted politicians, White Sox players, Nobel Prize winners and entertainers among his customers. The store closed in 2006. Hyde Park Herald Publisher Bruce Sagan, who first met Cohn in 1953, said that Cohn was a remarkable Hyde Park resident who stuck with the neighborhood through its different eras. “He cared passionately about the community,” Sagan said. “He was one of the people that created the environment in the neighborhood.” Cohn enjoyed a lifetime of learning and a Spring collection Katie Tyler and daughter Elin collect eggs, Saturday, March 26, during an Easter celebration at Vineyard Church at the Lutheran School of Theology, 5464 S. University Ave. Owen M. Lawson III Left to right: David, Herman and Howard Cohn enjoy a beer in Munich, Germany. lifetime of giving to others. He was the go-to person for so many extended family members. They came to expect his famous lists and itineraries and he didn’t disappoint. In his extended community of South Shore and Hyde Park, he served on many boards including the South East Chicago Commission and the Hyde Park YMCA. He also served as President of the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce and Congregation Habonim. As difficult as some of Cohn’s early life was, he would be the first to tell you that the hardest thing he ever had to do was watch his beloved Elsa, after 65 wonderful years of marriage, suffer from Alzheimer’s disease for years before her death in 2009. As a husband, Cohn defined the word “devotion.” “To see the twinkle in Cohn’s eyes, the huge smile and the way his whole face would light up in the presence of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, was to experience what pure joy and love were all about,” said Phyl- lis Cohn, his daughter-in-law. Dapper, raconteur, witty, warm, loving and family man, would be some of the words to describe Cohn, Phyllis Cohn said. While short in stature, he stood tall in everyone’s eyes. He is survived by his loving children: Howard (Phyllis) Cohn, Dr. David (Valerie) Cohn, Joyce (David) Feuer; his adoring grandchildren, to whom he was Papa, Lauren (Jeffrey) Kovach, Joshua Cohn, Dana (David) Kite, Amy Feuer (Isiah Parker), Zachary (Ashley) Cohn, Aaron Feuer; his precious great-grandchildren Jori Parker, Sienna Kite and Maxwell Cohn; and his dear Margot Eisenhammer, as well as many loving nieces, nephews and cousins around the world.

Rob us of that right to democratically choose who represents us, and you’ve undermined the very backbone of our democracy. People died for the right to vote, yet this fundamental right is under attack across the nation, with political elites working in states from Florida to Texas to deny people the right to vote. We’ve got to do better in Chicago. Getting the wrong ballot is just as bad as getting no ballot, or seeing that ballot go uncounted — or being turned away at the polls — because in each of these scenarios people are being denied the right to elect their representation. There was some good news for local voters on March 15 — including a heartening uptick in turnout, with more than 11,000 voters in my race alone casting ballots to support a platform built on a commitment to the retirement security of our seniors, quality neighborhood public schools for our kids, and accountability to working families. That’s a powerful testament to committed, issues-based grassroots organizing that lives well beyond Election Day. Yet as activists, organizers and engaged residents, we must add a critical issue to our list of concerns: fair and transparent elections — and the right of every registered voter to cast a ballot for the candidate of their choice.

SPORTS March 30, 2016, Hyde Park Herald 5 The HPNC girls junior roller derby league starts training By Joseph Phillips Sports Writer The Second City Slaughter Jr. Roller Derby team held its first fundamental camp for girls ages 8-18, March 26, at the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club. “This is my first season as an instructor with the Second City Slaughter,” said Ragner Rockner, roller derby instructor for the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club, , 5480 S. Kenwood Ave. “My goal is to instill fundamentals in skaters who are both experienced an inexperienced in the field of roller derby, ” Rockner said. In session one of the roller derby camp, Rockner provided inexperienced skaters with a simulated obstacle course, that was designed to help the participants overcome fears, anxieties and collisions of a real life roller derby situation. “We understand that some of these young ladies are skating for the first time,” Rockner said. “It’s our job to put them in the safest situation possible.” To close out session two and three of the camp, Rockner divided each skater into three groups (level 1, level 2, and level 3). Teaching them the importance of crossing methods , when a skater learns to avoid contact, stopping methods, when a skater learns to stop after a sprint and changing speeds, when a skater changes motions to adapt to the speed Members of the Second City Slaughter Jr. Roller Derby team pose for a group photo with their mentors.

Hyde Park Blvd., is providing health and fitness tips for athletes throughout the community. According to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, National Athletic Training Month is held every March in order to spread awareness about all that athletic trainers do. Leonard said that many athletes obtain injuries when they change their workout routines coming out of the “off season.” He said the most common injuries that occur among athletes are shin splints, pulled hamstrings, calf strains and sore arm/shoulders. “As Hyde Park athletes start to hit the field we think it’s a great time to inform the public about these tips,” said Leonard, who has a Master’s Degree in Physical Education in Cardio (Eastern Illinois University) and a certification in Performance Enhancement therapy. As an Athletico trainer, he has worked as Head Athletic Trainer for Hillcrest High School, Assistant and Head Athletic Trainer of Major League Soccer’s Chicago Fire and a Certified Athletic Trainer/Intern for the National Football League Chicago Bears during the 2007 season. Leonard recommends that athletes follow these three fitness tips before playing a sport or working out: Take it slow: “Most young athletes often have a lot of pent up energy from inactivity during the winter months,” Leonard said. “Going too fast or too soon can be a “recipe for an injury.” Take time to stretch: Leonard said Dynamic Stretching, also Bo Leonard, certified athletic trainer at Athletico, 1644 E. Hyde Park Blvd. Owen M. Lawson III known as Static Stretching, should be applied before a workout or a practice to help decrease the likelihood of an injury while actually improving overall performance. Strengthen the core: Leonard said most athletes like to focus on strengthening their arms and legs and neglect their core muscle groups. He said core muscle exercises would help improve an athlete’s speed, agility and explosiveness on the field. Leonard, who has been a trainer for 11 years, said his passion is to change how most athletes prepare both mentally, physically, and holistically during the off season. “My main objective is to help an athlete perform at its highest level,” Leonard said. “So that they will perform at an elite level on the field.” [email protected] this group but it’s early and we still have work to do.” The Second City Slaughter Jr. Roller Derby Team is a proud partner of the Windy City Rollers of the Women’s Professional Roller Derby League.

She will be joined by Rick Perlstein, author of Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan. In her new book, Moore, a WBEZ reporter and South Side native, addresses a fundamental issue facing the city of Chicago: segregation on the South Side. While Chicago is well known for being a modern, metropolitan, global city, it also remains one of the most segregated cities in the country. Moore ex- amines and criticizes the urban policies that exclude African Americans on the South Side from the social integration and economic success enjoyed by white Chicagoans elsewhere in the city. Moore sees segregation at work in Chicago Public Schools, housing initiatives, and other city policies. Moore brings a well-informed perspective to this topic. She’s a native Chicagoan who grew up in Chatham and remains passionate about her community. As reported by the Chicago Tribune, she chose to pursue a career in journalism in part to highlight the “vibrant black communities” that local news outlets seemed to fail to capture. Covering these communities has proven to be a successful career path for Moore, who has received both the Studs Terkel Community Media Award and a Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. She aims to change perceptions about the South Side and spark consequential conversations about race through her writing and reporting. The event’s other guest, New York Times best-selling author and journalist Rick Perlstein, has also had a successful career in journalism. An alumnus of the University of Chicago, Perlstein is an accomplished historian and critic of American conservatism. Pearlstein recently wrote a biting essay for the Baffler, “There Goes the Neighborhood,” critiquing the placement of the Obama library on the South Side of Chicago. He discusses the racial tensions behind the location decision, corrupt Chicago politics, and concerns about gentrification on the South Side. Both strong critics of the unjust city policies that promote segregation and harm African Americans communities, Perlstein and Moore will combine historical and modern issues with a look toward the future of the South Side. This discussion is one of over 200 Global Voices events hosted every year, ranging from cultural performances to political debates, and fits in with International House’s larger goal of serving as a “Host of the World.” By al- lowing various voices from our local community and around the world to be heard, Global Voices encourages a richer discussion of political, cultural, and intellectual topics. This lecture will take place on March 31 at 6 p.m. in the Assembly Hall of International House, 1414 E. 59th St. This event is free and open to the public. Persons with disabilities who need assistance should contact the Office of Programs and External Relations in advance at (773)753-2274 or e-mail [email protected]. ◆◆◆◆◆ The Global Voices series is a partnership between the International House (I-House) at University of Chicago and the Hyde Park Herald to inform the community about special events hosted by I-House that are open to the public. New Hyde Park-based choir for seniors formed By ALLISON MATYUS Staff Writer A new choir is in town geared at senior singers that are looking to spark back some creativity through song. The national chorale organization, Encore, is dedicated to providing adults ages 55 and older with professionally conducted chorale programs. Encore is bringing two opportunities to get involved Illinois with new chorales in Evanston and Hyde Park. Artistic Director and Conductor, Jonathan Miller, will be holding the six-week session at Montgomery Place, 5550 S. Shore Ave., beginning April 13 which will be held every Wednesday morning from 9:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. in the East Room. Miller, who has al- ways had a passion for composing music and singing, is excited to bring seniors this kind of program, especially since he has had personal experience with the benefits. “My wife and I both have aging parents and I have watched some of those people that we have lost be very active and engage and others not so much,” Miller said. “I realized what a gift Encore is to keep people active and healthy.” According to a 2006 study from the National Endowment for the Arts, known as The Creativity Aging Study, the average life expectancy for older adults who participated in a weekly creative group program had a higher life expectancy than older adults who just kept to their daily routines. “These results point to powerful positive in- tervention effects of these community-based art programs run by professional artists. They point to true health promotion and disease prevention effects,” reports the official study. Miller said he hopes to bring these types of benefits to the Hyde Park chorale. Anyone can sign up for the open six-week sessionnot just Montgomery Place residents-and any skill level of singing is welcome. “There are a lot of people who have sung their whole lives or haven’t sung for a while and just want to get back into it,” Miller said. “You just have to have the desire to sing.” Miller will teach the chorale five songs which they will perform at a free community concert at Montgomery Place on May 22 at 2 p.m. Miller said he wanted to make the songs both fun to sing and relatable. “We have songs like ‘Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town)’, folk songs and melodies and our signature song, ‘When I’m 64’ by The Beatles,” he said. Miller said he hopes to have about 30 singers and mentioned that he already has a few people registered, who ironically, were his friends’ parents when he was growing up in Hyde Park. “Giving back to them is going to be enjoyable,” he said. “Anything I can do to support my parents generation is worth it.” Interested singers can register for $50 either at Montgomery Place or online at http://www.encoreillinois.org/.

Dorchester. The event will feature an eclectic assortment of food from various neighborhood restaurants as well as an auction and musical performance from Hyde Park’s own Willie Pickens. SCHOOL NEWS Allan Lindrup, a founding member of HPTHP, which is an all-volunteer organization that provides housing and mentorship programs for families struggling with homelessness, expects this year’s event to raise upwards of $10,000. Lindrup said that all of the proceeds will go toward programming for client families.

Susan Degrane By ALLISON MATYUS Staff Writer Eighth graders from Bret Harte Elementary School and senior residents at Montgomery Place had the chance to spend an afternoon together through WTTW’s program, Grandparent Connection. On March 23, 38 students from Bret Harte, 1556 E. 56th St., visited their neighbors at Montgomery Place, 5550 S. Shore Dr., for an intergenerational and interactive program of singing, dancing and games. The Grandparent Connection program visits six senior centers in the Chicago area each year to collaborate with kids from a nearby school. Account Executive of WTTW, Grace Winston, said that it has proven beneficial for both the kids and the seniors. “Especially in a place like Chicago where people move here from all over, a lot of children don’t get to interact with seniors much because their grandparents might live elsewhere,” she said. “Same thing with the seniors; they either don’t have grandchildren or their grandchildren live far away.” The program brings PBS personality Lori Holton Nash, known as Miss Lori from Miss Lori’s CAMPUS, who guides the kids and seniors through sing-alongs, dancing and games. Skills like hand-eye coordination, exercising and socializing benefit both kids’ development and seniors’ motor skills. The students were not shy about going up to residents and introducing themselves, even making some friends along the way. On the senior side, Montgomery Place resident Mae Wygant said she was delighted to meet the kids. “When we go for walks we pass the school all the time, so it’s nice to finally get to see the kids and meet them,” she said. “It was a pleasure to see these beautiful, smiling faces and was a wonderful way to start the afternoon.” Bret Harte students visit Montgomery Place every year for their annual holiday concert, but this event was an opportunity for the kids not in the school choir to meet their fellow neighbors and community members. “I think the children are enjoying it and meeting some of the people who live right down the street,” said third grade teacher at Bret Harte, Sandy Summers. “I think it’s a great way for them to give back to the community.” [email protected] Bunny visit Elizabeth Davenport, dean of Rockefeller Chapel, laughs as the Easter Bunny welcomes children, Sunday, March 27, at a special mass celebrating Easter at Rockefeller Chapel, 5850 S.

Beginning April 7, every first Thursday of the month will mean special discounts, deals and activities at neighborhood businesses. Over 40 restaurants and stores are participating on the kick-off event on April 7 from 53rd Street to 57th Street. The monthly event is a collaboration from organizations such as the University of Chicago, the Southeast Chicago Commission and the Hyde Park Chamber of Commerce. Wallace Goode, the executive director of the Chamber, said that other communities in Chicago have similar monthly events that have proven to be beneficial for the neighborhood and its businesses. The Uptown neighborhood has Uptown Saturday Nights and Pilsen has Second Fridays; both have proven to be beneficial for their respective communities and the businesses that make them up. “Feet on the street creates an active buzz in the community and then having feet on the street is also going in and out of our businesses which is good for the businesses,” Goode said. Hyde Park’s First Thursdays will be from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., which is plenty of time to benefit from the discounts from favorite neighborhood establishments. Deals include things such as buy one get one, money off of a purchase and free drinks or food. Both small businesses and corporate chains are participating. Some deals include 10 percent off of an order when a customer mentions “First Thursday” at both Litehouse Whole Food Grill, 1373 E. 53rd St., and Mikkey’s Retro Grill, 5319 S. Hyde Park Blvd.; free drinks and a 15 percent discount at Sir & Madame, 5225 S. Harper Ct.; all day Happy Hour prices at Yusho, 1301 E. 53rd St., and free meditation session with complimentary tea from Chaturanga Holistic Fitness, 1525 E. 55th St. While April 7 is the first event of many monthly nights, there are already plans in store for next month’s First Thursday to expand the choices and activites. “Choose Chicago will start having ‘instagreeters’ beginning our second First Thursday on May 5,” Goode said. “They will be offering free one-hour walking tours of Hyde Park that start at Ancien Cycles.” The event is meant to engage people, both from the community and outside of Hyde Park, to have a full night of dining, shopping and entertainment all while staying in the neighborhood. “Hyde Park is a walking community and when you have more and more activity going on, it energizes everyone,” Goode said. “We want it to become a destination night.” [email protected] 8 Hyde Park Herald, March 30, 2016 IT’S HAPPENING IN HYDE PARK NOW! March 30, 2016, Hyde Park Herald 9 10 Hyde Park Herald, March 30, 2016 Young singers command the stage at Lyric Opera’s Rising Stars concert By M.L. RANTALA Classical Music Critic Lyric Opera of Chicago’s Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center is a training program for young, emerging opera singers which offers instruction and performance opportunities for talented singers. The Rising Stars concert is an annual event that turns the main stage at the Civic Opera House over exclusively to these newcomers, so they can put their skills on display. The most recent Rising Stars concert was Saturday night and over a dozen young performers were part of a sparkling, finely executed event. In addition to fine singing, supported by buoyant playing from the Lyric Opera Orchestra, the program itself was a splendid array of fine opera excerpts that eschewed the usual well-trodden arias and overly familiar music in favor of arias, duets, trios and quartets less often heard. The young singers were up to the task, creating an evening of good singing and splendid entertainment. The concert opened with South African soprano Hlengiwe Mkhwanazi singing Mozart. The Act II aria, “Dal tuo gentil sembiante” from “Ascanio in Alba” sounded fresh and the singer has a natural easiness on stage. She was also outfitted in one of the most attractive gowns of the evening, a full-skirted red dress full of glitter that sparkled from every angle. Tenor Minglie Lei, mezzo-soprano Annie Rosen and soprano Diana Newman joined forces for the Act II trio, “À la faveur de cette nuit obscure” from Rossini’s “Le Comte Ory.” Lei was beautifully restrained and the women effected a beautiful blend of sound. This was one the first of many vignettes of the evening that displayed the fine acting qualities of the singers, as they drew out the comedic elements of the scene. (Perhaps to enhance the comedy, Newman’s slim purple gown less resembled a dress and appeared more like a crumpled envelope.) Tenor Jonathan Johnson took on the Act IV aria “O blonde Cérès,” from “Les Troyens” by Berlioz. His interpretation was thoughtful although a times a bit bland. Baritone Takaoki Onishi and Mezzo Lindsa Metzger created a lively duet from Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville.” In “Dunque io son?” Rosina learns from Figaro that the man she cares for returns her affection. Onishi was suave and confident and Metzger had effervescence and sported the most scrumptious dress of the night: a long red number, off one shoulder and with a flowing cape off the other shoulder. Baritone Anthony Clark Evans gave a commanding performance in an excerpt from Verdi’s “Ernani.” His “Gran’ Dio! …Oh, de’ verd’anni miei” showed off his powerful projection and excellent dynamics. The drama Ryan Opera Center Ensemble Members with program directors Craig Terry, Julia Faulkner and Dan Novak and Lyric general director Anthony Freud. Robert Kusel was spot-on and the entire performance was gripping. Bass Patrick Guetti was utterly perfect in his treatment of Bottom’s monologue from Benjamin Britten‘s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” He knew exactly when to abandon attractive singing with admirable resonance in favor of occasional squeaky sounds and his physical comedy was tremendous. Here was a handsome man decked out in glorious evening wear who completely convinced us he was Shakespeare’s silly ass. Soprano Laura Wilde took on the Act II monologue and prayer from Janacek’s “Jenufa” and infused it with wild, palpable feeling. It is no surprise that she will take on the leading role in this opera this summer at the English National Opera. The opening scene from Carlisle Floyd’s “Of Mice and Men” was given a riveting performance by bass-baritone Richard Ollarsaba as George and Jesse Donner as Lennie. Their fascinating portrayals makes one hope that Lyric will consider staging the opera sometime soon. Tenor Alec Carlson, Soprano Diana Newman as well as Mkhwanazi and Lei were engaging in the Act II quartet from Mozart’s “Die Entfürhrung aus dem Serail.” Throughout the evening Michael Christie, music director of the Minnesota Opera, deftly led the Lyric Opera Orchestra. But after the intermission, Ryan Center pianist Mario Antonia Marra took the podium and conducted the overture from Verdi’s “Luisa Miller,” creating exciting music. Wilde and Evans returned to the stage for “Sie wollen mich heiraten” from Richard Strauss’s “Arabella.” This love duet had many pretty moments, but failed to capture a sense of love. Tenor Jesse Donner gave an earnest rendition of the Prince’s Act I aria from Dvorak’s “Rusalka” while Ollarsaba’s Drum-Major Song from “Le Caïd” by Ambroise Thomas was bursting with good fun and was thoroughly amusing. Tenor Jonathan Johnson joined Rosen for a dramatic and heartfelt excerpt from Poulenc’s “Dialogues of the Carmelites.” The final two numbers were entertaining quartets (the very last found all the Ryan Center members on stage) from Friedrich von Flotow’s “Martha” and Puccini’s “La rondine” and brought to a close a concert which proved that these young singers are folks to watch.

Ellis Ave. When: through April 10 Tickets: $45-$65 Phone: 773-753-4472 By ANNE SPISELMAN Theater Critic O f all the production I’ve seen of “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” a play so personal Eugene O’Neill didn’t want it ever to be produced (and stipulated it shouldn’t be published until 25 years after his death), Court Theatre’s is the most suffused with sorrow and forgiveness. Yes, the resentments, recriminations, and barely repressed rage that tear the Tyrones apart are apparent in abundance, but they’re tempered by so many regrets and so much sadness that we truly sense the love that binds these deeply flawed people together. Directed by playwright David Auburn (“Proof”), the three-and-a-half-hour-long show highlights the shifting alliances among the family members as they hash over the past and agonize about the present and future. They’re all also in denial about something, even as they’re smart enough to recognize the self-deceptions driving their refusal to accept, or even acknowledge, the realities. The atmosphere is toxic, yet the director, unlike many, manages to capture a certain amount of humor. Harris Yulin’s subdued performance as aging actor James Tyrone sets the tone. He comes across as a man beaten down by life, with little of the dash and bravura of the matinee idol he’s supposed to have been. His love for his wife, Mary, is palpable, and his heart doesn’t seem to be in his angry arguments with his sons. His worst traits—stinginess, self-absorption, self-righteousness, etc.— come through, but his oft-repeated tropes, such as admonishing the boys for not knowing “the value of a dollar,” don’t have as much of the usual obnoxious ring. When, in the last act, he talks about peaking at 27 and regretting that he traded his chance to be a great Shakespearean actor for the easy money of endlessly repeating a popular role, it isn’t the revelation of someone who’s been putting up a good front, but we do feel sorry for him. The bravura instead belongs to Mary Beth Fisher’s Mary Cavon Tyrone, who owns every scene she’s in. Fully aware and unhappy that her husband and sons are watching her like a hawk for signs of a relapse into morphine addiction, she’s alternately self-conscious and very talkative. As the drug takes hold, she goes through stages, for example, lashing out, especially against James, then breaking down apologetically in tears. Distraught over Edmund’s illness, she denies that it’s anything more serious than a cold but, in one outburst, shows that she knows better. She relives the past over and over, blaming James’ miserliness for everything from the doctors responsible for her condition to the second-hand car that causes her embarrassment. Overwhelmed by loneliness, she begs even the maid Cathleen (Alanna Rogers) not to leave her, yet she retreats into the safety of the memories of her idealized life in the convent and her first meeting with the great James Tyrone. Fisher is terrific at every turn, simultaneously mercurial and nuanced, so we—like the other characters—are never sure what’s going to come next. For Michael Doonan’s Edmund, the object of his mother’s guilt as well as anguish, the need to be heard and accepted by both parent’s is paramount. Doonan does a good job as the younger son suffering from tuberculosis and a lot of pent-up feelings, except for the fact that he doesn’t seem very sick at all. He even delivers some pretty long speeches without a single cough. As older brother James Tyrone, Jr., or Jamie, Dan Waller doesn’t really strike one as the alcoholic failed actor who haunts the Broadway cafes and whore houses, but he comes into his own in the drunken scene in the last act (all the men are addicted to alcohol), starting with stumbling over the front steps. In a long, rambling lecture saturated with equal measures of love and hate, he warns Edmund not to trust him because he’s a bad influence who wants his brother to be a failure like himself. Waller lapses into an Irish accent and clipped sentences, which doesn’t make total sense but sort of works. Jack Magaw’s scenic design apparently replicates the O’Neill summer cottage in Connecticut, but one of the most notable things about it is the way the house is set in the mid- dle of a blackened stage, emphasizing the isolation that’s exacerbated when the fog rolls in. Lee Keenan’s lighting contributes to this unsettling effect, as does Victoria Deiorio’s music and sound design. The costumes, by Melissa Torchia, reflect the period, 1912, well. I sometimes find O’Neill’s plays too talky and melodramatic, but the pain and humanity in Court’s “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” more than compensate. ◆◆◆◆◆ “Butler” RECOMMENDED Where: Northlight Theatre, North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, 9501 Skokie Blvd., Skokie When: through April 17 Tickets: $25-$79 Phone: 847-673-6300 By ANNE SPISELMAN Theater Critic “B utler” is set in the commander’s office at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in the first month of the Civil War, but Richard Strand’s play has the same appeal as a good courtroom drama. We witness a series of arguments highlighted by cagey legal maneuvering and have the satisfaction of seeing the right side prevail in the end. Basically, Strand fictionalizes the specifics of a real incident that arguably hastened the end of slavery. On May 23, 1861, three young black men—Shepard Mallory, Frank Baker and James Townsend—fleeing the Confederacy, where they’d been forced to build fortifications, stole a boat, rowed across the James River, and sought asylum in the Union-held citadel under Major General Benjamin Franklin Butler. Since the Constitution and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required that all runaway slaves be returned to their masters, in this case rebel Colonel Charles Mallory, Butler, a lawyer who had only recently taken up his military post, knew he had to deny their request. But he feared for their lives, so he found a way around it that cannily turned on the definition of “contraband” and changed the course of history by providing a legal excuse not to return runaways. Butler’s solution to what is both a moral dilemma and a practical problem is the climax of Strand’s play, but before that, he sets up a potent verbal battle between the Major General and Shepard Mallory, the only one of the sanctuary seekers who appears. Much is known about the blustery commander’s deeply contradictory nature (read the program notes), and the playwright’s premise is that the similarities he and Mallory come to recognize in each other drive his actions. Both are outspoken, curmudgeonly, contentious, disliked even by their few friends, and determined to always have the last word, so Mallory, who is educated and can read though he doesn’t want anyone to know (slaves we’re forbidden to learn how to read at the time), matches Butler point for point and even provides key military information. With veteran actor Greg Vinkler as Butler and Tosin Morohunfola as Mallory, their scenes together really catch fire. Vinkler has a fine voice and knack for sarcasm, while Morohunfola savvily blends sullen recalcitrance, keen intelligence, and furious outbursts, making their exchanges compelling and often quite funny. Watching out for Butler is by-the-book West Point grad, Lieutenant Kelly (Nate Burger), who undergoes a change of heart and adds some sly humor to the second act. At first he intensely dislikes Mallory for giving him such a hard time, but once he realizes what the man has gone through and the danger he faces, he becomes his advocate. He’s a combination sounding board and everyman, duties Burger handles with aplomb. The main antagonist is Major Cary (Tim Monsion), the Confederate officer who comes to fetch Mallory and the others and return them to their master, as well as to spy. Smug and arrogant, he sees himself as a true Southern gentleman, but in one of the evening’s best scenes, Vinkler’s cunning Butler gives him his comeuppance both personally and politically, using the Confederacy’s own policies to undermine its authority. Stuart Carden directs at a fairly brisk pace, except for an opening scene that’s incredibly tedious. After Lieutenant Kelly reports that Mallory “demands” to see him, Butler goes See THEATER on page 14 14 Hyde Park Herald, March 30, 2016 Blackstone Bicycle Works transfers ownership By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer Jamel “J.T.” Triggs, 26, and Jermell Akins, 21, have both been repairing bicycles at Blackstone Bicycle Works, 6100 S. Dorchester Ave., since their early teenage years. Their years of apprenticeship paid major dividends, last week, when Triggs and Akins were tapped to oversee the management of the bike shop. Blackstone Bicycle Works is a branch of Experimental Station, a community of educational and cultural programs, small businesses and neighborhood initiatives. The employees at Blackstone are youth from Chicago’s South Side. Triggs said that the majority of the over 200 youth involved in the bike program come from the Hyde Park-Kenwood, Woodlawn and Washington Park communities but that some kids travel from as far as 120th St. In addition to offering internships and employment opportunities to South Side teenagers, Blackstone coordinates mentorship programs and links students with college advisors. Aaron Swanson and Chris Willard, Blackstone’s previous managers, have moved on to positions at other bike retailers. Swanson joined a shop in the West Loop and Willard plans to open a place of his own in Kenwood. “They feel they’re transferring the torch to a younger generation,” Triggs said of the shift in Blackstone’s management. “I’ve been here since I was 14, and Aaron has been a big mentor for me since then.” Triggs said that, since childhood, he’s always been somewhat of an engineer, and that made him a perfect fit for working with bicycles. “I used to take apart radios and remote control cars,” Triggs said. “When I came here, it was just natural.” Triggs is now Blackstone’s program coordinator and will focus on the curriculum of the bike program as well as the shop’s day-to-day operations. Akins, whose official title is customer sales associate, will handle bike purchases and transactions. Akins is assuming his new position with a dose of humility. “For me, it’s just business,” Akins said. “The only thing that changed is my job description.” Both Akins and Triggs said they hope to take business classes in the future and jointly Blackstone Bicycle Works head mechanic and head of production Maalik Gardner (on left), customer service associate Jermell Akins (center), and coordinator Jamel Triggs (on right) pose for the camera in their shop, 6100 S. Blackstone Ave., March 19. Marc Monaghan open up a bike shop of their own. “Englewood needs a Blackstone too,” Triggs said. “All these neighborhoods need services like this.” While Akins and Triggs officially assumed their new positions last week, they’ve been slowly taking on responsibilities since the beginning of the year. And since then, Triggs said that he and Akins have been exceeding expectations. “We’re $6,000 ahead of sales this early in the year,” Triggs said. “That’s big.” For more information on Blackstone Bicycle Works, visit experimentalstation.org/blackstone. [email protected] Louder Than a Bomb poetry festival hits DuSable By SAM RAPPAPORT Staff Writer The individual finals for Chicago’s annual Louder Than A Bomb (LTAB) poetry competition came to the DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E. 56th Pl., on Thursday, March 17. LTAB founder Kevin Coval has previously called the youth poetry festival “the best political platform in Chicago.” “You will see and hear the most acute critiques of hegemonic culture,” Coval said. “You will also hear celebrations of bodies of color.” After 16 years in the running, LTAB, ac- Luqman Muhammad of Thornwood High School performed at DuSable Museum, March 17, Photo courtesy of Young Chicago Authors in the Louder Than a Bomb poetry competition. cording to Coval, has “created a different youth in the city of Chicago.” Thursday evening, Onam Lansana, a Jones College Preparatory High School student eagerly awaited his turn to go on stage and, as Coval might say, ‘unleash his political imagination.’ “I’m excited,” Lansana said, “not nervous at all. This is what I love to do.” Lansana would later grace the stage with a poem titled “When Spike Lee Didn’t Do The Right Thing.” For Sarah Ford, a student at the Academy of Scholastic Achievement, Thursday was her first time at a LTAB event. “I’m just excited to hear the youth voices,” Ford said. Poet Mahnoor Jamal, a student at Maine East High School, performed a poem titled “I Am Scared.” “My mother is imprisoned with fear,” Jamal recited. “She is afraid of the way American eyes pierce bodies like daggers. My mother is afraid of Black guns clutched by white THEATER from page 13 on and on, using a variation on the Socratic method, to explain his astonishment at this and how much he hates anyone making demands on him except the President, his superiors, and his wife. Only later does it become apparent how this diatribe functions in a dramedy that depends heavily on wordplay hands.” Friday’s individual finals showcased the top 13 poets whittled down from 900. A panel of five judges, which included Hyde Park activist Bill Ayers, was tasked with rating each poet on a scale of 0-10. “0 being the Republican Party,” Coval explained to the crowd, “10 being Beyonce’s ‘Formation.’” DuSable Museum President and CEO Perri Irmer complemented the competition on its contributions to Chicago’s political discourse and said the event would always have a home at the museum. “I am in love with Louder Than a Bomb,” Irmer said. “The truth that comes out of these young people’s mouths is incomparable. And if you’ve been watching the news, you know Chicago’s youth are changing the city’s politic.” Coval went a step further, declaring, “Young people in Chicago are changing the sonic landscape of the entire planet.” [email protected] and cross references. Jeffrey D. Kmiec’s scenic design, with its stone accents and multipane window, nicely suggests an office in a fort, and Sarah Hughey’s lighting captures the shifting times of day. Rachel Laritz’s costumes and Andre Pluess’ sound round out the competent design elements, but the real strengths of “Butler” are a feel-good script (not easy, considering it’s a comedy about slavery) and the fine acting.
