Thank You, Volunteer Gardeners!
Many thanks to the Garden Club of Morgan Park/Beverly Hills for volunteering to tend BAPA’s garden areas
in the green parking lot. Their first workday was Sept. 24, and they transformed the plots that had gotten
pretty weedy and wild over the summer into lovely fall gardens. BAPA is grateful for the help! The club
members who worked at BAPA are (front, from left) Carol Zeiler and Marilyn Klein, and (back, from left)
Barb Bojarski, Barbara Gyarmathy, Nadine Harris-Clark, Caroll Vaughn, Nancy Mishlove and Nancy Brown.
BAC Completes Challenge
Beverly Arts Center (BAC) has completed a yearlong fundraising campaign
to significantly reduce its debt and establish a new banking relationship. Beverly
Bank and Trust, 10258 S. Western Ave., is
the BAC’s new banker and has provided a
$1 million mortgage payable over 20 years.
“I have every confidence that the new
and renewed leadership of this community asset will keep it moving in the
right direction” said Dennis O’Malley,
vice chairman, Beverly Bank & Trust, a
Wintrust community bank. “Witnessing
the tremendous generosity of so many
people in our community motivated Beverly Bank to take a fresh look at the arts
center’s remarkable turnaround during
the last 11 months.”
According to the BAC Board of Directors, more than 1,800 donors contributed
$1.234 million to the BAC Challenge
since Sept. 2013. At that time, the Cen-
ter’s long-term debt was $4.713 million.
Fifth Third Bank, which held the BAC’s
debt, announced a four-for-one challenge
that launched the BAC Challenge.
“The BAC Challenge exceeded all expectations,” said Barbara K. O’Malley,
BAC Board president. “The tremendous
dedication of BAC Challenge co-chairs
Mike Stanton and Jim Noonan, their
committee and our directors, has set us
on a course to create a new development
model for our arts center.”
Since 1968, the BAC, a not-for-profit
organization serving southwest metro
Chicago, has offered fine arts classes and
programs. The 40,000-square-foot facility at 2407 W. 111th St., houses galleries,
classrooms, rehearsal spaces and a 400seat theater. BAC also offers extensive
community outreach.

Chicago Artists Month (CAM) is a
program of the Chicago Department of
Cultural Affairs and Special Events held
during the month of October for Chicagobased artists and performers to promote
and showcase their work. Events are held
throughout the city.
The Vanderpoel Art Association
is named for Dutch-born John H.
Vanderpoel (1857-1911), who emigrated
to the U. S. at the age of 12. During his
teen years, he developed an interest in
art that led to a scholarship to study at
the Academy of Design, which later
evolved into the Art Institute of Chicago.
Although a renowned painter and
muralist, Vanderpoel became best known
as a premier art instructor at the Art
Institute. One of his students was Georgia
O’Keefe, who praised him as “one of the
few real teachers I have known.”
Vanderpoel developed a reputation as
one of America’s foremost authorities on
figure drawing. His book “The Human
Figure,” published in 1907, became a
‘The Buttermakers’ by John H. Vanderpoel was the
first painting purchased for the Vanderpoel Memorial Association collection.
standard textbook for art school students.
The director of the Art Institute at the
time was William M. R. French, who
lived in Beverly Hills/Morgan Park.
French persuaded Vanderpoel to move to
North Beverly, and Vanderpoel’s house
still stands at 9319 S. Pleasant Ave.
After 30 years at the Art Institute,
Vanderpoel took a leave of absence in
late 1910 to move to St. Louis to head
a museum and establish an art program.
In May 1911, Vanderpoel suddenly died
from a heart attack. He is buried in Mt.
Greenwood Cemetery.
Shortly after Vanderpoel’s death,
his friends and supporters formed the
Vanderpoel Memorial Association,
and petitioned the city to name
Vanderpoel Avenue and Vanderpoel
School for him. In 1914, his friends
bought one of Vanderpoel’s paintings,
“The Buttermakers,” and installed it in

Halloween City ‘Haunts’ 95th Street
‘Tis the season for children to start dreaming about who to be for Halloween. From
princesses to pirates, superheroes to silly cartoon characters, the Halloween City pop up
store at 2210 W. 95th St., will likely have what you’re looking for.
Owned by Party City and located in the former Borders Books building, Halloween
City offers a large selection of costumes for children and adults, masks and costume accessories, Halloween decorations and assorted treats for trick-or-treaters. The store will
be open through October. Neighborhood residents are encouraged to shop at Halloween City. If the store does
well, Party City will consider opening a permanent store on 95th Street.
Artists from throughout the
community are pitching in
to create the first Beverly
Art Walk on October 11.

Village Viewpoint
By Margie Gonwa, Interim BAPA Executive Director
About two weeks ago I sat in a meeting at the 22nd District Police station attended by four of our African American
neighbors who had suffered damage to
their property, their sense of safety and
their dignity due to ugly, demeaning and
sometimes racist spray-painted graffiti.
They were surrounded by several neighbors, local ministers, 22nd District Commander Godsel, a few beat officers and
two detectives assigned to the case, local
and regional CAPS officers, an officer
with the hate crimes division, 19th Ward
Ald. O’Shea and my colleague, Alice
Collins, BAPA Coordinator of Safety,
Property Preservation and Education.
I was sickened by what I heard.
As the victims spoke, I thought “They
are me, I am them, they are all of us.”
One young woman was a high school
English teacher who called her students
“her babies.” I have a niece who is a high
school English teacher.
One was a professional working woman

with young children. The streets of Beverly-Morgan Park are filled with moms
with young children.
One was a former journalist and now
a non-profit organization director. I am
a non-profit director as are many of my
friends.
In one quiet, older couple—the husband
a minister, I believe—I swear I saw my
grandparents dressed for an important
family affair.
One was a woman so concerned that
the children on the block not see the ugly
graffiti that she scrubbed her car -- now
it’s all scratched up.
All of these neighbors are long-time
homeowners, like you and me.
Ald. O’Shea addressed the individuals
directly and passionately saying, “This is
not who we are. This is not Beverly/Morgan Park.” Sadly, there are people among
us who commit criminal damage to property and hate crimes. But they are not
in the majority, and they do not represent
our community.
The police, taking this very seriously,
have assigned a lot of personnel and are
pursuing all theories. Is this a racist incident or not? Is it an isolated event or one
of several recent racist incidents? Most
of the victims, stinging from the “n”
word spray-painted on their property, are
experiencing racism. As of this writing,
the perpetrators have not been caught, so
we are not drawing conclusions.
As a group, we discussed measures to
be taken. Phone trees so neighbors can
watch out for and alert each other. Encouragement to call 911. Some remarks
about the homeowners installing additional fences and lighting. A rally was
held September 26, to raise awareness of
these crimes and to show unity and support for the victims.
All good things. But remember, I said
this could be me? Not exactly. I don’t
have to spend money to restore my car
after spray painted graffiti or reprioritize
my time to work with the police. I’ll bet
these individuals had other plans for their
money and time. And there’s no way to
quantify the additional emotional energy
spent due to the loss of a sense of safety
and security.

Open Meeting:
Fighting Racism
Tues., Oct. 7 - 7pm
BAPA Community Room
11109 S. Longwood Dr.
I felt the burden was falling pretty heavily on the victims to alter their behavior
to better protect themselves. That isn’t
just.
In addition, couldn’t we as a community
place some of the burden and expectation of changed behaviors on would-be
perpetrators, and on all of us who enable
this type of activity by our silence, by not
condemning racist talk in our family and
social circles if and when we hear it?
It’s time to elevate attention to the issue
of lingering racism in our community.
In the 1970s, BAPA was instrumental
in working with Beverly Hills/Morgan
Park residents to resist “white flight”
and to maintain an integrated community. BAPA and other community leaders spoke from every platform — from
pulpits to civic association meetings.
BAPA ran a housing referral program
and fought unscrupulous realty practices
seen in other neighborhoods. It worked.
Beverly Hills/Morgan Park became a national model for integration.
Two groups -- the long-established
Unity in Diversity and relatively new
Southwest Diversity Collaborative -bring people together to have the hard
discussions about race and unity in our
community.
BAPA is also at the table. On Tues., Oct.
7, 7 p.m., BAPA will host a meeting to
further enlarge the number of residents
in dialogue on race relations in our community. We encourage the members of
Unity in Diversity and Southwest Diversity Collaborative, and all community
residents, to join forces and fight racism. The meeting will be held at BAPA’s
Community Room, 11109 S. Longwood
Dr. All are welcome.

Living Well With Congestive Heart Failure
By Eileen T. McNichols, RN, MSN
Manager of Health Promotion Services
About 5.1 million people in the United
States have heart failure. In 2009, one in
9 deaths included heart failure as a contributing cause. The term “Heart Failure”
can be very daunting when your doctor
tells you that you have this significant
health challenge. According to the Geriatric Department of Medicine at UCLA,
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a very
common medical condition that varies
widely from person to person and can be
managed effectively with medications
and lifestyle changes.
Simply put, Heart Failure occurs when
the heart muscle becomes unable to pump
blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen to carry to the rest of the body or to
the other muscles and systems of the body.
Signs that you may be experiencing
CHF include tiredness, dizziness, swelling of the legs and ankles (edema) with
sudden weight gain over a period of days,
shortness of breath and cough due to a
build-up of fluid in the lungs. Common
causes of CHF include high blood pressure, diabetes and coronary artery disease. The good news is that this problem
develops slowly and can be managed
with medications and lifestyle changes.
Together with your doctor, you can manage this disorder and continue to live a
full and productive life. Here are a few
tips to help you accomplish that goal:
Watch your salt intake. Your goal
should be 2,000 milligrams or less of
salt per day. This amount is about ¾ of
a teaspoon. Many food products contain
salt. Read food labels for salt or sodium
content. Choose foods that will provide
less than 600mg salt per meal. High
blood pressure is a serious risk factor for
developing heart failure. You would be
surprised how effective limiting your salt
intake is in lowering blood pressure and
helping to eliminate fluid from the body.

Maintain a healthy weight. This is a
tough one. Many adults in the U.S. struggle with obesity. Carrying around that
extra weight puts a strain on your heart.
Losing as little as 10% of your body
weight can make a huge difference on the
overall health of your cardiovascular system. Divide your weight by ten and that
equals 10% of your body weight.
Follow a heart healthy diet. Incorporate
healthy fats in your diet like plant oils (i.e.
olive oil), omega 3 fatty acids (i.e. fatty
fish), and load up on the whole grains,
vegetables and fruits. One thing to keep in
mind is that you may need to restrict your
fluids to less than 1.5 liters per day. This is
about five 8 ounce servings.
Be alert to changes in your body. Weigh
yourself and take your blood pressure
every day. If you gain more than 3 to 5
pounds in a matter of a few days, or you
notice your blood pressure creeping up,
call your doctor. If you are more tired
than usual, develop an irregular heartbeat, notice swelling in your ankles or
start having a frequent cough, call your
doctor.
Take your medications. Your doctor
will work closely with you to determine
the medications that work best for you.
Make sure you take those medications as
prescribed. If you have concerns about
the medications, talk with your doctor
before you make any changes.
Little Company of Mary Hospital has a
proactive Heart Failure Clinic that works
with you and your doctor to keep you out
of the hospital and managing your symptoms successfully at home. For more information, call 708-229-4278.

Event Supports Work of A New Direction
A New Direction Beverly/Morgan Park
(AND) will hold its annual benefit and
reception Sat., Oct. 18, 7 to 10 p.m.,
Beverly Country Club, 8700 S. Western.
Funds raised from the event will enable
them to continue their work of providing
services to victims of domestic violence.
Tickets are $65 and include food, drinks
and dancing to music by the Smiley Tillmon Band. A grand raffle features prizes
that include air travel aboard American
Airlines and five nights/six days at the
Westin St. John Resort in the Virgin Islands, $600 in American Express points
to be used towards travel accommodations, an iPad mini, and tickets to see
Notre Dame play Northwestern in November. Raffle tickets are $20.
Although the tragedy of domestic violence has gained a great deal of media
attention recently, it is often hidden due
to social stigma. The effects of domestic
abuse, whether physical, financial, sexual
or emotional, are devastating and can be
repeated in the next generation. Children
who witness domestic abuse often grow
up to be abusers or victims themselves.
AND helps its clients break that cycle and
move people from victims to survivors.
A New Direction Beverly/Morgan Park
provides free, confidential counseling
and advocacy for families. AND is funded by community events like the annual
benefit and reception, Work Out To Wipe
Out Domestic Violence, and by local
sponsors and donors.

Crosses Into Dream
The Beverly Arts Center Auxiliary
Board will sponsor Crossing Into Dream:
A Surrealist Fashion Show, performance
and party, Fri., Oct. 10 at the Beverly Arts
Center, 2407 W. 111th St. The fashion
show is part of Chicago Artists Month,
and expresses its theme, “Crossing Borders.” The event opens with a toast at 7
p.m. celebrating the inaugural Beverly
Art Walk to be held the next day, featuring over 70 artists at 30 venues, including
the Beverly Arts Center.
The fashion show combines the
unique works of several Chicago-based
artists, including Sandra Leonard,
contemporary
surrealist,
sculptor,
designer of sculptural clothing and the
fashion show’s curator; Alan Emerson

who creates complex structures of found
objects; and Courtney L. Schneider, a
designer who addresses social issues
through satire and design.
The dream will be accessible to guests
during the before- and after-parties with
costumed figures, surrealist games, culinary creations, decor, music and more
— all created by local artists and artisans.
Attendees are encouraged to don their
own surrealist attire! Creations from the
show will be available for purchase, with
a portion of the proceeds supporting arts
programming at the BAC.

St. Barnabas School started the 20142015 year with a new principal. Elaine
Gaffney brings her extensive background
in leadership to the St. Barnabas community. Gaffney grew up in Bridgeport and
attended Catholic schools.
“I have a special place in my heart for
Catholic education,” she said. After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine
Arts in Theatre Education from Northern
Illinois University, Gaffney earned Master’s degrees in Liberal Studies from DePaul University and in Educational Leadership from Concordia University.
Gaffney’s career began at Queen of
Peace High School in Burbank, where
she taught dance, drama, computers and
health. In addition to teaching, Gaffney
became the Director of Recruiting.
“I had the opportunity to visit and
build relationships with many Southside
Catholic schools,” she said. After leaving
Queen of Peace, Gaffney worked at the
University of Chicago Booth School of
Business.
Gaffney returned to teaching and began
an administrative career at Crete-Monee
High School. There, she served as webmaster, sports information director and
public relations coordinator in addition
to teaching in the Fine Arts department.
“While at Crete-Monee, I co-created a
freshmen mentoring program, leadership
curriculum for juniors and seniors, and
coached the school’s Positive Behavior
Supports and Interventions team,” Gaffney said. When St. Barnabas posted the
principal position, Gaffney felt it was
time to utilize her leadership skills and
return to the Catholic school system.

“I am humbled to be a part of such a vibrant school community,” she said. “The
St. Barnabas teachers are second to none!
They are dedicated to their students and
their profession, and they work tirelessly
to ensure that every student reaches their
academic and social/emotional potential.”
Gaffney’s goals for St. Barnabas include expanding the use of technology in
the classroom.
“Using technology will help build upon
our strong academic foundation,” she
said. “Our students excel in the classroom and on standardized tests. They
experience their Catholic faith through
service-learning and being an active
member within the parish and Beverly
community.”
Gaffney encourages collaboration between the parents and parishioners “to
ensure a positive school climate and culture.”
Gaffney resides in Hickory Hills, with
her 19-month-old son and her husband.

Churches and their Ministries: Bethany Union Church
By Kristin Boza
Beverly Hills/Morgan Park is blessed
with many churches and spiritual gathering spaces. This article is the third in a
series exploring the many religious offerings around the community.
Bethany Union Church, 1750 W. 103rd
St., is not only the oldest church in the
Beverly Hills/Morgan Park area, but it
also is the oldest Free Church this side of
the Allegheny Mountains. Free Church
is a Christian denomination that began
when six different denominations came
together to worship and serve as Christians while leaving the nonessential elements of their faith at the door, according
to Bethany’s pastor Rev. Dr. Lawrence
Cameron. Pastor Larry, as he’s known
in his church, said that Bethany Union is
a multi-diverse worship community that
reflects the local community.
“We are African, European and Hispanic, all being a Church together,” Cameron
said. “We are fond of saying ‘here there
is room enough for everyone.’”
Bethany Union is open every day and
serves the community through several
ministries, including one of the oldest Boy Scout troops in the country, as
well as Cub and Girl Scout programs.
“We also are home to many amazing
ministries that make a real impact in the
world,” Cameron said.
The TEECH (Transforming, Educating
and Empowering Children and Humanity) Foundation offers programs that assist people coming out of incarceration
or in recovery with spiritual support and
recovery coaching, and provides training
and certification in Recovery in Green
cleaning sciences. “This program helps
them gain meaningful employment and
enjoy sobriety and serenity,” Cameron
said. Additional information on these
Rev. Dr. Lawrence Cameron, pastor of Bethany Union Church (standing) is busy with the wide variety of ministries available to the people of the congregation, the community and the city. (Photo by Rebecca Healy)
programs are available at www.teechfoundation.org.
Bethany Union recently launched Hey
Young World, a ministry reaching out to
Chicago youth.
“We support, encourage and mentor by
giving [the youth] the opportunity to be
exposed to success instead of violence,”
Cameron said. The first Success Summit
will be held at Bethany Union Church on
Sat., Oct. 18, 4 to 8 p.m., and all students
in 9th through 12th grades are welcome
to attend. Admission is free. Students can
hear from motivational speakers, listen to
music, and experience dance troops and
teams, all while enjoying pizza and pop.
“Our guest speakers are awesome and
have each been successful in their en-

deavors,” Cameron said. “We are excited
about the line-up and about exposing the
youth to two very different dance groups
who have been national winners in recent
competitions. This is a very real, positive and powerful event and we know
the high schoolers who come will go
away with delight, inspiration and door
prizes.” Bethany Union hopes to offer a
Success Summit once a quarter throughout the year.
Bethany Union is a ministry partner
with Destiny Rescue, an international
ministry that rescues children from sex
trafficking. The church is hosting A Night
of Hope: Giving Children Their Dreams
Back with Destiny Rescue on Tues., Oct.
7 at 7 p.m. The Regional and National
Directors of Destiny Rescue will be present to share their stories.
Cameron was instrumental in bringing the program to Bethany Union. “I
was reading an article about the slave
trade that is presently larger than ever
before in the history of the world...and
I came across Destiny Rescue,” he said.
“I chased down a contact and reached
out to partner with them and bring them
to Chicago. It is truly a God-thing that
will bear much fruit. I encourage people
to come to the presentation and become
better informed about this global evil and
discover ‘right now’ ways they can help
save the lives of these innocents.”
Bethany Union’s 100 members worship
on Sundays at 10:30 a.m.
“Our doors are always open and we are
a church without walls. Anybody who
is so moved is invited and encouraged,”
Cameron said. “Everything we do is for
the community and we are proud to be a
faith community, within the community,
made up by the community.”

Soccer League Scores with Area Families
By Kim Mitzner
Isela Morris, St. Walter Athletic
Association Board President, would like
to make the public aware of “a hidden
gem” in our area.
“Most people don’t realize how big the
St. Walter Soccer League is,” she said. It
is composed of 67 teams -- that’s more
than the NFL! More than a dozen area
public and private elementary schools
make up the league, which is the largest
youth soccer program available on the
Southside. The program has run for over
ten years.
The opening game of the 7 to 8 week
season was held in September. All
games are played on the fields located
at 118th and Oakley, Monday through
Wednesday at 5 to 7 p.m., and Saturday,
9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Morris invites everyone
in the neighborhood to come and visit the
fields during the games. It is free to all
spectators.
According to Morris, the children learn
to play soccer in a positive and familyfriendly environment. The concept of
working as a team is encouraged. Team

spirit is impressed upon the players. They
abide by the Humility Rule, which limits
teams to a five goal lead. Friendships and
bonds are developed among players.
The teams are set up by age, and range
from 4-year-old preschool to 7th and
8th grade, with one coach per division.
Beginning with the 3rd and 4th grade
teams, the games are scored. All children
in the younger grades play just for fun,
with no scoring.
The St. Walter Fall Soccer League
is very much a family-involvement
enterprise, and parent participation
keeps it humming. One volunteer is a
St. Walter parishioner who does not
even have any children in school. Other
helping hands are supplied by teens who
are former players in need of high school
service hours, or who just want to remain
involved. Volunteers do everything from
cleaning, to striping the fields, to working
the concession stands. The only paid
adults are the referees, and they are all
encouraged to get a certificate to referee.
According to Morris, these are some
highlights of each season: Through a

games once a year, each year the St.

The John H. Vanderpoel Art Association has
more than 500 works by American painters and
sculptors. This premier collection of 19th and 20th
century fine art was assembled to honor the
contributions of Beverly resident John H. Vanderpoel
(1857-1911), who taught painting at the Art Institute
for more than 30 years. He helped to make Beverly
a culturally-rich community. Legendary artist
Georgia O’Keeffe praised Vanderpoel as “one of the
few real teachers I have known.”
The Beverly Art Walk would like to thank the following sponsors:

Cyclocross & Trail Run
Challenge Area Athletes
By Kristin Boza
The annual Chicago Cyclocross Cup
#3 is not your typical bike racing event.
It’s an off-road race, and cyclists will
be challenged by the uneven terrain and
hills of the Dan Ryan Woods. Run by
the Beverly Bike - Vee Pak racing team,
sponsored by Paul Weise at Beverly Bike
and Ski, Chicago cyclists are gearing up
for this fun and challenging event. New
this year is the Beverly Hills 5K Trail
Run. The 5K will take place on Sat., Oct.
11, 10 a.m., and the cyclocross event will
be on Sun., Oct. 12.
Working on both events is Beverly Hills/
Morgan Park neighbor Tony Reinks, a
seasoned cyclocross racer and part of the
25-member Beverly Bike Vee Pak team.
Cyclocross is a rough-and-tumble competition that challenges riders’ skills and
biking savvy. Gaining in popularity over
the past few years, cyclocross may even
become an Olympic sport.
Since its inception in Europe in the
1920s as a way for cyclists who competed in road racing to train in the off
season, cyclocross has gained a huge following in the United States.
“Our race is one of a series of 12 in the
Chicagoland area, and we’re one of the
few actually within the city limits,” Reinks said. “When we started a few years
ago, we had about 250 riders, now we
have 600 riders coming out this year.”
Event coordinators worked closely with
the Cook County Forest Preserve staff to
plot out the course to ensure the safety of
riders while maintaining the excitement.
All riders will receive a free crepe at the
end of the race, as well as a sample of
beer from Imperial Oak Brewing, based
in Willowbrook. The crepe is a nod to cy-
clocross’ European roots, and crepes for
the Chicago Cyclocross #3 riders will be
prepared by culinary and pastry students
from schools around Chicago.
Due to the increased success of the cyclocross in the Dan Ryan Woods, the racing team decided to open up the course
to runners the day before the race. Like
cyclocross, trail running is becoming
very popular, and the cyclocross course
is a natural fit for both types of athletes.
A member of the Beverly Bike – Vee Pak
Racing Team is the track and field coach
at Lindblom Math & Science Academy,
and part of the proceeds from the 5K will
help support the Lindblom track and field
program.
Sure, it sounds like a fun run, but Reinks
cautions that it’s not for the faint of heart.
“The 5K is really something you need
to prepare for, despite being an amateur
event,” he said. “We have lots and lots of
hills that will tire you out.”
Reinks is proud of his Beverly Hills/
Morgan Park community, and loves
showing it off to the racers. “We love
Dan Ryan Woods because our team is
from the community, and it’s an underutilized area,” Reinks said. “A lot of
people are surprised that you can actually see downtown from the top of one
of the hills. Visitors are impressed that
there’s such a wide open area in Chicago;
the race brings a lot of people into our
community who otherwise wouldn’t get
down here.”
Entry fee for the 5K trail run is $30.
Participants can register at runreg.com/
beverlyhills-5ktrailrun. For more information on either event, contact the Beverly Bike - Vee Pak Racing Team, [email protected].

A Morgan Park High School reunion
and fundraiser will be held Fri., Oct. 17
and Sat., Oct. 18, and classes of 1954
to 1979 are invited to attend the “mega
multi-class” event.
Included in the plans are an opening
night reception at the Beverly Art Center,
featuring artworks by alumni, live entertainment and “A Taste of the Old Neighborhood” with treats from places like
Red’s and Original Rainbow Cone. Saturday events will include an open house
at the high school, and a dinner dance at
115 Bourbon Street is designed to bring
back memories of the sock hops and Friday night Canteen dances with bands that
will bring back the sounds of the 1950s
through the 1970s.
The planning committee welcomes
volunteers to help with these events.
Information is available on the website, empehireunion2014.com, and at
385-336-7344(385-3EMPEHI) and [email protected].
Besides catching up on old times, the
event is the opportunity to give back to
the school and community.
Alumni were sorry to learn that the
high school’s Curtain Club, which put
on annual theatrical productions, had dissolved. Blackwelder Hall, where the productions were held, needs updated sound
and lighting systems. The proceeds from
a silent auction and other fundraising activities will be donated to help with needed renovations and reviving the Curtain
Club. Auction items are being accepted.
The EMPEHI Film/Photo Project,
spearheaded by Emmy award-winning
filmmaker and MPHS alumnus Barry
Kirk, will be a compilation of old still
photos, slides and home movies, interspersed with material of historic importance, set to a soundtrack. The film will
be shown at each venue during the two
days of events. Alumni are encouraged
to send in materials for this project to
[email protected].
Reunion attendees can opt to attend any
one or all of the events. Prices are covered on the website.
There are many ways that graduates
from the classes can get involved in planning the event, such as sharing photos
and home movies, helping find sponsors, volunteering and buying an ad in
the program book. But most important
is spreading the word to everyone in the
class years included in the reunion so that
they know about the event and have the
opportunity to attend. There is even an
opportunity for alumni who are on fixed
incomes, retired or struggling financially
to apply anonymously as a “wish list
recipient” to be sponsored to attend the
reunion.
RAMBLING ‘ROUND & ABOUT
By L. Patrick “Pat” Stanton
Time for a little rambling plus some unsolicited advice. I read recently that only
one in 15 of those who were in military
service during WWII is alive today. So if
you are one of them and have quirky stories from the 1930s and 1940s, or from
your military days, reminisce for your
family now. They will appreciate it most
if you write it down.
Since those years, one custom that I
think has changed most noticeably is in
what is considered acceptable apparel.
Everybody knew what was meant by
one’s “Sunday clothes” -- the outfit appropriate for church on Sunday -- whether one attended or not. For men that
would mean a suit with shirt and tie, and
for women a modest dress with a hat, of
course. Ladies were expected to wear
hats in church, especially abroad. I recall
often seeing American women tourists
visiting a cathedral looking foolish with
a substitute hat in the form of a Kleenex
held on by hairpins. Now in America, at
least in Catholic churches I have visited,
anything goes.
Another big change is apparel for college football games. I must limit my
comments to Notre Dame games, but
I’m sure they would apply to all college campuses. I especially remember
the fashion in one season in the 1940s.
A friend of mine got the right to sell big
yellow mums with ND blue ribbons outside the stadium before the games, and
I was given a boxful to sell. I think they
sold for a dollar, maybe two at the most.
I probably got a quarter a sale, certainly
no more than fifty cents. But they did sell
because in those days young ladies in
particular dressed up for football games.
Appropriate wear would be a wool suit,
in a modest plaid, probably by Pendleton
Woolens. In cooler weather a matching
topcoat would be added. Fortunately for
me and my fellow peddlers, a big yellow
mum pinned to the lapel completed the
picture. Guys with dates wore blazers,
and some even a shirt and tie.
Today, there is no dress code for a football
game. Whatever is comfortable is sensible,
usually unisex tee shirts in team colors and
shorts or jeans. Grateful I am no longer
selling mums: I wouldn’t sell one.
One practice at football games I don’t
miss is the so-called “wave.” I always
felt bad for the players who must have
been discouraged when it appeared that
many fans were more interested in participation in the meaningless “wave” than
in what was happening on the field.
Unfortunately, another kind of wave has
never gone away. It’s the wave caused
by the “Johnny Jump-ups” who insist on
standing up for every play by the home
team. Their move then forces the spectators behind them to stand up in order
to see, resulting in a “wave” upward of
standing spectators, none of whom can
see any better than if they all were sitting
down. Sometimes it requires a chorus of
“down in front” to wake up the original
“Johnny jump-ups.” They seem to see
failure to stand when the home team is
playing as disloyal. After attending ND
games for 70 years, I can confidently
confirm that the size of the crowd standing up vs. that sitting down has never had
an impact on the results. ND students
now stand throughout the games. As they
age they’ll learn to agree with me that
comfort trumps exuberance.
Now with advice on other matters: don’t
forget to photocopy all the important
cards in your wallet, especially in light of
what seems to be non-stop hacking. Just
as important, remember where you hid
the photocopy.
Also, check your passports’ expiration.
Ten years can be too long to remember
to keep passports current. As we planned
a trip to see our grandkids in Canada,
we discovered our passports had expired
several months before. Fortunately the
renewal was easy. Walgreen’s at 103rd
and Western takes passport photos. We
had new passports in about four weeks.
I suggest that each year you note on the
January page of your calendar “PPX”
and the expiration date.
{Confession: My reference to Pendleton Woolens does not reflect my fashion awareness. When we first dated and
married, my wife Lorraine was working
in public relations at the Palmer House,
where there was a Pendleton Shop. She
loved the Pendleton outfits, so I bought
her gifts there for a number of years. She
had every pattern.)

HollyDays Benefits I Am Who I Am
Celebrity Bartenders, 2014 Photo Exhibit, New Vendors & More on Nov. 1
Shoppers looking for unique gifts,
art work and decorations as well as to
foster acceptance through awareness are
invited to HollyDays on Sat., Nov. 1, 6
to 10 p.m. at the Beverly Arts Center,
2407 W. 111th St. More than a vendor
boutique, HollyDays is “a celebration
of the beauty of every person who has
a special ability,” according to Holly
Simon, executive director of I Am Who
I Am, the not-for-profit foundation that
benefits from funds raised at the event.
With its motto of celebrating acceptance
through awareness, the volunteer-driven
I Am Who I Am provides resources and
support for families with special needs
children.
“From welcoming each new baby with
the message of ‘congratulations’ to
lending an ear for people who are trying
to navigate through the ups and downs of
parenting special needs children, I Am
Who I Am is there to help,” Simon said.
Originated as a boutique shopping
event the wide variety of unique gifts,
accessories, art and more hand crafted by
area artisans is still what entices hundreds
of women and men to HollyDays. Once
there, there are so many reasons to stay
and enjoy the celebration!
This year, three Chicago celebrity
bartenders will be pouring the popular
Holly-Tini: Grammy Award-winning
musician and songwriter Damon Ranger.
CBS News Anchor Rob Johnson, and
WGN News Anchor Micah Materre.
Damon Ranger may not be a name you
know, but you’re sure to have heard his
music. Among his songwriting credits are
the score for the movie “The Life of Pi,”
contributions to the Smashing Pumpkins
video “Tonight, Tonight,” composing for
Kanye West, and being a member of the
band Blackbox. Ranger is also a radio/
TV personality for NBC stations.
Rob Johnson is the Emmy Award–
winning anchor for the CBS 2 Chicago
evening news at 5, 6 and 10 p.m. He
joined the CBS news team in 2006. In
his career, Johnson has been at the scene
for many major news events: Hurricane
Katrina in New Orleans, the Centennial
Park bombing at the Atlanta Olympics,
and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster
in Houston, among them. Johnson
devotes much of his personal time to
supporting organizations that help people
with disabilities.

WGN News at Nine anchor Micah
Materre started at the station on
the morning news. Producer of the
popular Chicago’s Very Own segment,
Materre has won many accolades both
professionally and for her charitable
works.
The I Am Who I Am photo exhibit
showcases new faces every year. “From
Down Syndrome to autism and everything
in between, we want the world to see our
children’s abilities,” Simon said.
HollyDays guests will also enjoy music,
food and a silent auction. Vendors donate
a portion of their sales to I Am Who I
Am.
The idea for HollyDays began with a
simple party celebrating the first birthday
of Simon’s son Nate, who has Down
Syndrome. It grew into a fund raiser
for the National Association for Down
Syndrome (NADS), and then as the
major fund raiser for I Am Who I Am,
which is dedicated to reaching out in a
one-on-one, meaningful way to families
of children, but all children with special
needs.
I Am Who I Am continues to support
the mission of NADS, and also partners
with other agencies that provide services
to families with at-risk or special needs
children.
The admission donation to HollyDays is
$25 in advance through PayPay at www.
iam-whoiam.com or $30 at the door.

At the dedication of the new mural at LCMH are (from left) Brian Lepacek, Executive Director of Little
Company of Mary’s Foundation, Cesar Santaló, Miami painter and designer, and Cesar Santaló Jr.
LCMH Mural Commemorates
Beverly Breast Cancer Walk
Miami resident and internationallyknown mixed-media artist César Santaló
recently installed a five panel fiberglass
collage mural entitled “We Are Family”
at the Little Company of Mary Hospital
Women’s Center for Life and Health.
The mural commemorates the 15th
anniversary of the Beverly Breast Cancer
Walk.
The Beverly Breast Cancer Walk is the
largest three-mile walk on Chicago’s
Southwest Side. Held every year on
Mother’s Day, the event attracts more
than 14,000 men, women and children,
who walk through the historic Beverly
Hills/Morgan Park neighborhood.
Over the past 15 years, the Walk has
raised more than $4 million with all
proceeds going to Little Company of
Mary’s Comprehensive Breast Health
Center, which offers a full range of
diagnostic care specialists and an array
of integrative therapy services.
Santaló’s mural is composed of more
than 8,000 photographs from the 15
years of the Beverly Breast Cancer Walk,
and includes cutouts of Chicago political
figures as well as inspirational prayers,
religious iconography, and images of
Little Company of Mary’s founder, the
Venerable Mary Potter.
The “We Are Family” mural is a
representation of the Beverly Breast
Cancer Walk with walkers of all ages
surrounded by the beautiful architecture
and scenic landscapes of the historic
neighborhood. “My painting serves as
a time capsule of events detailing the
growth of the community involvement
and participation throughout the 15 year
history,” Santaló said.
“What began with three pioneering
women [Carol Moriarty, Nancy Mulcahy
and Lisa O’Brien] who believed in
fighting breast cancer with one step at
a time on one of the most memorable
days of the year -- Mother’s Day -has blossomed into more than 14,000
neighbors and supporters who all have
joined in the fight against breast cancer,”
said Brian Lepacek, MDiv, Executive
Director of the Little Company of Mary’s
Foundation. “We are all amazed at and
grateful for César’s breathtaking piece of
art. The collage serves as a reminder that
if we all come together as a community
and family with faith in our hearts, we
can help the fight against breast cancer we are all in this together.”

Vanderpoel Art Association Celebrates 100 Years
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Vanderpoel School at 95th and Vanderpoel
Avenue. Artists were invited to contribute
works to continue this memorial.
The response was very generous and
eventually the collection was too large
to keep at the school and arrangements
were made with Ridge Park to move the
collection there. Today there are over 600
pieces of art in the VAA collection.
Over 100 Chicago artists are represented
in the VAA collection. Highlighted in the
new exhibit will be the key artists who
were instrumental in the establishment
of many of the arts organizations and
historical events that shaped Chicago’s
art history. Some of this artwork is part
of the permanent display, but many more
pieces are being brought out of storage
for this special exhibit.
The signature piece for the exhibit is
“The Belle of Jugoslavia,” an oil painting
by Macena Alberta Barton, which
became part of the VAA collection in
1937. Barton studied at the Art Institute
of Chicago in the 1920s, taking a night
job so she could paint during the day.
In a 1931 article, journalist St. John
Tucker said of Barton, “The woman
paints in raw, screaming colors with sharp
edges and violent contrasts, and does it
with so wholehearted an enjoyment that
one enjoys along with her the terrific kick
she appears to get out of existence.”
Works by several Beverly Hills/Morgan
Park-area artists will be prominently
displayed. One is Arno Bretsnyder, who
lived by Ridge Park and studied with
Vanderpoel at the Art Institute. Another is
Jessie Horton Koessler, from the Horton
Family which owned Chicago Bridge
and Iron, who attended both Barnard and
Vanderpoel Schools.
Alice Helm French will be represented
by her 1915 pastel, “In the Garden.”
Alice was born in Lake Forest and
studied at the Art Institute, where she
met her future husband, William M. R.
French. In 1894, they built their house at
9203 S. Pleasant St., where it still stands
as a neighborhood landmark. French’s
brother was Daniel Chester French, the
sculptor who created the Lincoln statue
in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,
D.C. Alice’s “In the Garden” was painted
at the residence of Daniel Chester French
on the east coast and donated by Alice to
the Vanderpoel collection in 1915. Alice
is sometimes credited with giving the
name “Beverly” to the northern section
of the Ridge, following a visit to Beverly,
Massachusetts. Alice and William French

famous settlement house, Hull House.
Settlement houses grew out of the social
movement to better the situation of poor,
urban immigrant women and children
by offering education, daycare, and
healthcare programs. The art program
at Hull House offered educational and
cultural opportunities for disadvantaged
women. Benedict was committed to the
principle that art should not be a luxury
for the wealthy, that it could be used as an
instrument for social change. She created
opportunities for artists to exhibit their
works, including at the Art Institute. An
art gallery at Hull House was dedicated
in her name.
These are just a few of the treasures
that will be on display at the Vanderpoel
gallery in October. Art lovers and
Chicago history fans will find a visit a
truly rewarding experience.
‘Lincoln’ by Loredo Taft was a study for ‘Lincoln the
Lawyer in Urbana. (Photo by C. Flynn)
are buried in Mt. Greenwood Cemetery.
One favorite piece on permanent display
in the VAA gallery is the sculpture
“Lincoln” by Lorado Taft, which was
a study for his final work “Lincoln the
Lawyer” which is in Urbana. Taft was
a contemporary of Vanderpoel’s, also
teaching at the Art Institute, working in
clay, plaster and marble carving.
Chicago artists were engaged in social
causes and also helped to record Chicago’s
history. On display in the Chicago exhibit
will be a small portrait “Mother and
Child” by Enella Benedict, who taught at
the Art Institute and was a founder and
director for 50 years of the Art School
