Whole Foods Hyde Park opens with “bread breaking”
By SONIA SCHLESINGER
Herald Intern
The Whole Foods Market in Hyde
Park held its opening ceremony at
8:45 a.m. on Wednesday, June 22
,and opened for business at 9 a.m.
The first customer arrived at 4:45
a.m. By 9 a.m. there were over
1,300 customers lined up at the
main entrance on Lake Park Avenue
and the line stretched to East Hyde
Park Boulevard and down Harper
Avenue to 52nd Street.
At the opening ceremony, Ald.
Sophia King (4th) applauded Whole
Foods, 5118 S. Lake Park Ave., for
employing more than 90 local team
members and showcasing 12 South
Side vendors. King and members of
the store’s management team presented a $25,000 Healthy Kids innovation grant to the University of
Chicago’s Oriental Institute to fund
a program that uses the archaeological exploration of food in ancient
civilizations to understand human
health.
“This is not just about being a
business that comes into the neighborhood; it is about being a good
community partner,” Store Manager
Eric Galinvaux said. “I think our
donation to the Institute is a good
example of this.”
Hyde Park resident Arnett HowellFaulkner, whose skincare lotion,
AHF Body Chemistry, is sold in the
Hyde Park Whole Foods, said the
opening of the Hyde Park location
played a significant role in her product launch.
“We waited to launch the product
specifically at this Whole Foods,”
Howell-Faulkner said.
As the line moved forward, employees kept new customers from
entering the store until enough other
customers had exited so as not to
exceed maximum capacity. Regional Vice President of Operations,
David Schwartz, said this is the first
time that has happened at a Chicago
Whole Foods opening.
Customers in line expressed excitement about the new store.
“We haven’t had a store this close
in some years,” said Margaret Gay,
who lives a block away from the entrance. “We used to have one and it
was great, but it closed, so the closest store we’ve had was on 55th.
Now this is convenient and I love
this store.”
Gay said, “I’m just happy they’re
here. The neighborhood has
changed tremendously in the last
few years...so I think new businesses are coming to the area. I
know they’ll do well because I think
the whole community shares my
sentiments.”
Kenwood resident Annette McGee
said, “I walked here from
47th [Street] but I should have gotten here earlier. I’m all about quality, even if I have to pay a little
more.”
Whole Foods executive coordinator of operations Tom Marciniak, associate store team leader George Wimms,
Alderman Sophia King (4th), vice president of purchasing Bobby Turner, executive coordinator of purchasing
Matt Mell, Oriental Institute school and community program manager Carol Ng-He, store team leader Eric Golinvaux and vice president of operations David Schwartz “break bread” in a symbolic opening of the Whole Foods
store at 5118 South Lake Park Avenue Wednesday, June 22,

The Whole Foods Lake Park construction project was announced in
2005. The store was originally supposed to open in 2014 but the opening date was pushed back due to
construction delays. It replaces Village Foods, a low-cost grocery store
that occupied the space until 2012.
Schwartz said that Whole Foods
chose the Hyde Park location as part
of its expansion to the South Side.
“There are already stores in
Chicago and I wanted to move
south,” Schwartz said. “The previous one to open was at Roosevelt
Road and Canal Street and the next
obvious location was here. [Hyde
Park] is tied to the university but
also has a very well-established
community on its own.”
In addition to donating to the Oriental Institute, the store held five
community giving days last week,
in which five percent of sales are
donated to five local organizations:
Blackstone Bicycle Works at Ex-
perimental Station, the Hyde Park
Art Center, the Hyde Park Jazz Society, the Hyde Park Neighborhood
Club, and the Hyde Park Historical
Society.
Schwartz emphasized the organization’s excitement in coming to the
neighborhood. “I honestly think this
is the largest crowd I’ve seen in
Chicago,” Schwartz said. “We’re
just so happy to be here and that the
community is happy to have us.”

Herald Intern
The new Michaels craft store had
its grand opening Sunday, June 26
at 10 a.m. The ribbon cutting ceremony began at 9:45 a.m., before
which customers had lined up to the
storefront for hours. The first one
hundred people in the store received
gift cards to celebrate; over $1500
in gift cards and prizes were given
throughout the day.
“I’ve been here since seven,”
Hyde Park resident Cassandra
Robinson said. “I was the first one
here. I’m so happy the store is
here.”
The new location is at 5104 S.
Lake Park Ave., as part of the shops
inside City Hyde Park, and is one of
the many recent additions to the
Hyde Park neighborhood.
“This is the first time we’ve been
able to buy a spool of sewing thread
in Hyde Park for like decades. This
is so needed,” neighborhood resident Leslie Travis said. “I saw a
bunch of my knitting students here,
they’re really excited about being
able to buy yarn.”
The Hyde Park Michaels location
and open design, as well as about
20,000 square feet of arts and crafts
materials. Different sections of the
store include jewelry, floral, fram-
ing, knitting and sewing, baking,
arts, and kids crafts.
“It’s nice to have it,” Hyde Park
resident Rebecca Reynolds said. “I
use Michaels a lot, so it’s nice to be
able to come a little closer to home.”
This store is the most convenient
Michaels for Hyde Parkers, the next
closest location being at 1101 S.
Canal Street.
“I can see a lot of people coming
in here, they’re excited for even this
whole building to be here,” said
Sophia Castellanos, operations
manager of the store. “It’s more accessible for them, otherwise they
have to travel far. This area is pretty
artsy, so it’s convenient for them.”

Friends reflect on deaths of Hyde Park psychotherapists
By SAM RAPPAPORT
Staff Writer
Friends and associates of psychotherapist Robert Moore offer an
illustration of the man that stands in
stark contrast to the circumstances
of his death.
Moore, a former professor at the
Chicago Theological Seminary
(CTS), 1407 E. 60th St., and his
wife Margaret Shanahan, a prominent Jungian psychotherapist, were
found dead, Saturday morning, June
18, in their Hyde Park home in the
1400 block of East 54th Street.
Police were responding to a call
for a well-being check, that Saturday, at 9:49 a.m., when they happened upon Moore, 73, and
Shanahan, 65, inside of their home,
both with gunshot wounds to the
head.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the deaths
of Moore and Shanahan and said
that Moore’s death had been ruled a
suicide while Shanahan’s had been
labeled a homicide.
President of the C.J. Jung Institute
of Chicago Stephen Martz studied
under Moore at CTS in the 1980s.
Martz described Moore as an open
and welcoming man that often assumed the role of an advisor.
“Robert was an early mentor for
me,” Martz said. “He was very compassionate, very caring, the kind of
human being that really connected
well with students.”
Jason Coulter, the pastor at
Ravenswood United Church of
Christ, was another one of those
students whom Moore had a great
impact on.
“[Moore] helped me to make
sense of how I was equipped to
serve the church, God and humanity,” Coulter said. “He had an ability
to allow others to be vulnerable in
his presence. With professor Moore,
you felt safe to be yourself.”
Moore was the long-time instructor of a course titled “Theories of
Change” at CTS. Coulter said that
almost every student who has fil-
tered through CTS in the past 25
years has taken the course.
On Monday, June 20, CTS hosted
a “reflection and remembrance”
gathering for Moore and Shanahan,
Approximately 40 people attended
the event.
CTS spokeswoman Susan Cusick
issued the following statement on
the recent tragedy.
“Chicago Theological Seminary is
deeply saddened by the deaths of
Dr. Margaret Shanahan and Professor Robert Moore,” Cusick said.
“Professor Moore was a valued
member of the seminary’s faculty
from 1977 until his retirement from
full-time teaching in 2012.”
Like Moore, Shanahan often assumed the role of counselor and
mentor to those around her, according to one of the psychotherapist’s
close friends.
Mary Kay Devine, the wife of
Coulter, first met Shanahan in 2006
when her husband was enrolled at
CTS.
“We had a really special relation-
ship,” Devine said of Shanahan. “I
feel like she really played the role
of another mother in my life, and
I’m happy that I got to learn from
her.”
Devine said that she was hit hard
by the news of Shanahan’s death, in
part, because she expected Shanahan to be around for decades to
come.
“She was always willing to share
advice,” Devine said. “I’m just
lucky I was able to bask in her wisdom.”
Martz explained that both Shanahan and Moore were passionate,
strong personalities within the Jungian community, but that their involvement had waned in recent
years.
“We haven’t seen much of them in
recent years,” Martz said “We’re all
trying to look back and see how this
could have happened.”
Martz and others think that
Moore’s deteriorating mental health
could have played a role in his actions.
“Moore’s health was deteriorating,” Martz said. “Some have said
that it could have been vascular dementia.”
Devine said that she was aware
that Moore had experienced physical health difficulties in the past but
that her knowledge of the details
were limited.
Confusion and a general disbelief
seem to be the predominant reactions to the manner of Moore and
Shanahan’s deaths.
“I can’t believe it,” Devine said.
“The fact that it’s such a tragic end
to such beautiful lives—it’s just an
overwhelming crush of confusion.
For them, everything was about
seeking mental health and balance
and beauty in the world. For their
lives to end this way—I just can’t
comprehend it.”

CPS addresses lead testing at community meeting
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Chicago Public Schools (CPS)
gave updates on the lead testing at
public schools during a community
meeting Thursday, June 23 at Hyde
Park High School, 6220 S. Stony Island Ave.
CPS CEO, Forrest Claypool, and
other city officials presented the report to about 10 community members who attended the meeting.
Claypool said that CPS initially
thought to test lead levels in
Chicago schools after the water
contamination in Flint, Mich. He
said that phase one of the testing has
been completed—-a total of 324
schools.
Certain schools were chosen for
the first round of testing based on
three criteria: having pre-kindergarten classrooms, being built before 1986 or having a working
kitchen within the school.
The local schools that were tested
include Kozminski Community
Academy, 936 E. 54th St., on May
4; Ray Elementary School, 5631 S.
Kimbark Ave., on May 24; Reavis
Elementary School, 834 E. 50th St.,
on June 8 and Bret Harte, 1556 E.
56th St., on June 11.
So far, the only results available
are for Kozminski and Ray. CPS
tested four samples from water devices inside Kozminski, two that did
not detect any lead levels and two
that detected a level below 15 parts
per billion (ppb), which is the Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) action level for lead.
CPS tested 14 water devices at
Ray, with 10 containing a below av-
erage action level. The other four
were not detected at the reporting
limit.
Claypool said that the remaining
205 CPS schools will be tested, including high schools and those that
were built after 1986, and that testing will resume in the fall because
the samples must be taken when
normal water use conditions are
present.
Dr. Cort Lohff from the city’s Department of Public Health said that
overall, there has been a decrease in
lead levels.
“In some ways, this has been a
success story,” Lohff said. “Every
year we continue to see that levels
of kids who are tested for lead decrease. The good news here is we
continue to see dramatic declines,
which means exposure to lead is
going down.”
Claypool said the school district’s
results on lead testing is updated on
a daily basis on their website,
cps.edu/leadtesting.

There is no need to mar the
middle of Jackson Park with another intrusive artificial object
To the Editor:
I submit that Project 120’s plan to
put a music pavilion east of the Darrow Bridge in Jackson Park might
not have been appreciated by the
park’s designer, the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. In
1891, he wrote a letter protesting
the placement of a music hall on
Wooded Island, saying that people
should consider it “a place of relief
from all the splendor and glory and
noise and human multitudinousness of the great surrounding Babylon.” In his public advocacy,
Olmsted repeatedly showed that he
understood the value in unbuilt
spaces, saying for example that
Presque Isle in Michigan, “should
not be marred by the intrusion of artificial objects.”
Jackson Park is one of our city’s
few remaining spots of urban
wilderness. Birdwatchers come
from far away to see the animals it
draws, families come to picnic,
many come to fish. As our population grows, such places become
fewer and fewer, and as habitat decreases across the hemisphere, the
number and variety of birds decreases as well.
The proposed pavilion will dis-
place trees and green space, impair
views, and bring extra noise, all unnecessarily. We already have many
permanent music venues on the
South Side of Chicago. Jackson
Park itself already hosts the Chosen
Few festival every year without the
need for permanent structures. If the
communities surrounding Jackson
Park collectively decide, through a
local, open process, that public land
is needed for a new music venue,
we can find a more appropriate location for it than in the center of a
natural area.
Olmsted’s attitude was prescient.
He was writing in an era before amplified music, before the Park was
surrounded by road noise from traffic moving at highway speeds, before several bird species once found
in Chicago went extinct. Olmsted
knew from experience what neuroscientists have since quantified, that
a walk in nature has beneficial effects on the brain. He would have
understood that that there is no need
to mar the middle of his park with
another intrusive “artificial object.”

Hyde Park native sells healthy snacks at local Whole Foods
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
The buzz surrounding the new Whole Foods
in Hyde Park, 5118 S. Lake Park Ave., comes
down to the responsibly produced and health
conscious products the chain store is known
for. What’s different about this Whole Foods,
in particular, is a lot of the merchandise that
make up the shelves are made by locals.
Jordan Buckner grew up in Hyde Park and
attended the University of Chicago Laboratory School, 1362 E. 59th St., until he graduated from the eighth grade in 2003. Buckner’s
handmade tea-infused energy snack,
TeaSquares, sits in the snack aisle at the Hyde
Park Whole Foods.
Buckner started the concept for TeaSquares
only four months ago as a way to promote
healthy eating habits for his friends and fam-
ily.
“I was experimenting with a couple different
snacks because a lot of people that I know eat
very unhealthily,” he said.
He said that having grown up around the
food business, because his mom owns a catering company, Buckner was interested in cooking and finding that satisfying, yet healthy,
snack.
“If you think about why a lot of people like
to snack in the first place, it’s because they are
hungry and looking for something to satisfy
them,” he said. “But then they are also usually hitting a lull in their day and are looking
for a pick me up or some type of energy to
boost them.”
That’s where the tea in TeaSquares comes

Jane Bergman Stone, 84
Jane Bergman Stone, 84, a lifelong resident of Hyde Park-Kenwood, died at home on June 18,
2016 after a 38-year on again off
again battle with cancer.
Bergman Stone was born in
Chicago on November 14, 1931, to
Hyde Parkers Lewis and Ruth
Genzberger Bergman. An unrepentant Trotskyite, she was active in
radical political causes ever since
high school. She graduated from the
University of Chicago Laboratory
High School in 1947 and earned her
four-year diploma from Hyde Park
High School in 1949. She then attended Roosevelt University, where
she met her husband, William
Bruhn Stone.
She was proud of the range of jobs
she had, including waitress, telephone operator, and interviewer for
the U.S. Census Bureau. One of her
first jobs brought her into the fight
against cancer long before she had
the disease; in the 1950s, she
worked as a lab technician at U of
C Hospitals in a cancer research lab.
She volunteered at the American
Civil Liberties Union. She also
worked as a volunteer tutor and
fundraiser for a program that helped
mothers in Woodlawn earn their
high school G.E.D.
In later years, she was active in
Hyde Park book clubs, and swam in
Lake Michigan until the age of 83
with friends at Promontory Point.
Until a few years ago, she joined
them for an icy dip in the lake every
January 1.
According to her daughter, Joyce,
Bergman Stone “raged fiercely
against the dying of the light,” and
encouraged her children to work for
a better society.
Bergman Stone was preceded in
death by her husband, William B.
Stone, who died in 2000.
She is survived by her brother,
Robert Bergman (Julia Putnam),
who lives in Seattle; two sons,
David (Deborah Caldwell) and

King gives updates on her time in office at second town hall
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Ald. Sophia King (4th) has now been in office for about 70 days and spoke a little bit
about what she has been doing in that time
during a June 20 4th Ward town hall meeting
at Hales Franciscan High School, 4930 S.
Cottage Grove Ave.
King said that there is a lot of detail that
goes into aldermanic duties.
“It’s all very encompassing. Most people believe the alderman is their bridge so I see it as
a hub to other services which entails a lot of
detail, follow-up and relationship building,”
she said.
She did say she was pleasantly surprised at
constituents’ willingness to help address problems and shape possible solutions.
“I have gotten more support in terms of people saying ‘How can we help?’” King said. “I
feel a genuine community effort.”
King spoke about her positions and how she
will vote on some of the active ordinances
within the City Council. She said she is for
the home-sharing ordinance as it stands which
calls for more regulation and taxing of home-
sharing services like Airbnb.
She said she is against the ridesharing ordinance as it stands, which would require drivers to get fingerprints and drug tests. Uber and
Lyft, two of the major ridesharing services in
Chicago, both have said they would leave
Chicago if the ordinance was passed.
“Uber and Lyft have come in to South Side
communities that were previously not served
and have given jobs,” King said.
King also voiced her support of the paid sick
leave bill, saying, “People should be able to
take off when sick and Chicago is very behind
in terms of that.”
In the previous town hall in May, King was
outspoken about her passion for affordable
housing, and told constituents at the meeting
that she was able to negotiate Chicago Housing Authority units in four new developments
being built in the South Loop, the first affordable housing units in that area.
With lots of issues being brought up at the
last town hall meeting, King said that in the
survey they handed out, the top three topics
that constituents of the 4th Ward said were
most important to them were safety, economic
development and youth engagement.
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson listens as Ald. Sophia King (4th) answers a
question from an audience member during a 4th Ward Town Hall Meeting at Hales Franciscan High School, 4930 S. Cottage Grove Ave., Monday, June 20.
Marc Monaghan
King is tackling the safety issue by partnering with Chicago Police Department (CPD)
for the Safe Summer: Building Community
Block-by-Block initiative.
“We are going to reinstate safe passage
workers during the summer in crime hot spots
that we have identified,” King said.
King invited CPD Superintendent, Eddie
Johnson, to last night’s meeting to speak more
on this summer’s initiative.
“If we all work together and paddle in the
same direction, we can affect change,” Johnson said. “The police department can’t do this
alone.”

By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) reversed
their decision today in regard to a pre-K special education class at Bret Harte Elementary,
936 E. 56th St. The special education class
will no longer be cut from the curriculum next
year.
Heather La Riviere, a parent of a student in
the class, said that CPS asked to hear her story
and said that they wanted to work to keep the
program.
“They told me that they were going to keep
it going for another year and see what can be
done about enrollment,” La Riviere said.
She said CPS also mentioned the possibility of establishing a parent advisory board for
the program to help spread the word about the
program to boost enrollment. La Riviere said
this past year has really been the first year that
the class was noticeably under enrolled.
CPS cited the reverse in decision because
there was an overall need for the program in
the neighborhood.
“CPS is committed to providing all of its
students with a quality education and meeting the needs of diverse learners in every
Chicago neighborhood,” said Michael Passman, a spokesman for CPS. “Following a review of the school’s enrollment projections
and a consultation with the Harte administration and school community, CPS determined
that a need exists for the early childhood instructional classroom at Harte.”
La Riviere’s daughter, Rose, has been in the
program since October and La Riviere said
that she has noticed significant development
in her daughter and her two classmates.
“A big part of why this program is success-

ful is it integrates the regular preschooler class
with them,” La Riviere said. “They all do
story time together and play on the playground together. [Rose] interacts with everybody and everybody talks to her and knows
her.”
She said that Rose and her other classmates
work on the same things as any other preschooler, like putting sentences together,
using picture-word association and learning
numbers.
A play-in protest was planned at Bret Harte
on Tuesday, June 21, to protest the decision
to cut the class but because of the change of
the decision they celebrated instead.
“I feel great, I’m so happy for my daughter
and her classmates and I’m so happy for Bret
Harte,” La Riviere said. “[The program] is a
great inclusive environment and is really a
model of how kids with all abilities can be included in the school culture.”

Gates leads discussion on ethical redevelopment
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Urban redevelopment in cities can sometimes
be a difficult topic to discuss, which is why
Place Lab took the question of “What does ethical redevelopment in Chicago look like to
you?” to artists, activists, scholars and community members at a public convening event,
June 22, at the Logan Center, 915 E. 60th St.
Place Lab’s work focuses on what it means
to redevelop urban neighborhoods, especially
in Chicago, in an ethical way, rather than by
profit-driven practices. At Wednesday’s event,
attendees and guest speakers spoke on their
own thoughts to the answer the question.
“I do not believe that ethical redevelopment
can be a feel good conversation,” said Charlene
Carruthers, the national director of the Black
Youth Project 100.
Theaster Gates, the director of Place Lab,
who echoed Carruthers’ thought, said, “It is
complicated, messy work in the redevelopment
of our cities in a way that could provide lots of
different tactics and strategies and roads to
what this work is.”
Attendees had the chance to write out their
own thoughts about the topic and post it on a
blank white board that quickly filled up with
experiences, ideas and issues.
One post read, “These projects often feel like
(archeological) sites where the broken (Black)
pieces of community are tinkered with, and
studied, like artifacts. I want development that
leads to economic empowerment and self determination.”
Another post said that a problem of redevelopment is that planners of the developments
are not engaged in or from the community in
which they are working.
Guest speakers spoke on the role of different
groups of people or areas of thought to collaborate on the ethical redevelopment conversation.
“We need to acknowledge those in communities who have been marginalized,” said Cathy
Cohen, Political Science professor at the University of Chicago (U. of C.). “The changing of
policy is not enough…there are not enough
hipster coffee shops to make this go away.”
Urban redevelopment can’t be talked about
without bringing up gentrification, as Mabel
Wilson, a professor at Columbia College, said,
“Like people, places too have a history and we
must always bear in mind that societies form
in order to put particular people in particular
places.”
But there are some ways to actually look at a
neighborhood and provide it with the redevelopment it needs, while keeping in mind the residents who live there.
Lisa Lee, the director of the Department of
Art and Art History at the University of Illinois
at Chicago, said that by looking at it from an
artist’s perspective, creative thinking could
happen in the process.
University of Chicago (U. of C.) professor ,Theaster Gates, and U. of C. Institute of Politics executive director, Steve Edwards, respond to audience questions during the U. of C. Place Lab’s
first “public convening” on ethical redevelopment at the Logan Center for the Arts, 915 E. 60th
St., Wednesday, June 22.
Marc Monaghan
“It can happen by bridging the gaps through
a shared practice of everyday life,” Lee said,
adding that all people of a community should
think of themselves as “social sculptors” of the
bigger picture.
Carruthers said working together, from all
tiers of people in the redevelopment process,
is what will make it ethical.
“Constellations over all ecosystems of the
various ‘We’s’ requires a collective ‘We,’” she
said.
These types of conversations will continue as
Place Lab hosts more events like these in hopes
that communities and those who live in them
will become more involved.
“Our hope is that the things that are happening are a kind of demonstration act of the work
that we’re all doing and that maybe we can all
do more,” Gates said.

Logan Center hosts Katherine Dunham birthday celebration
Herald Intern
Dance students, instructors, anthropologists
and disciples of the late Katherine Dunham
gathered at the Logan Center for the Arts, 915
E. 60th St., on Wednesday , June 24, to celebrate her 107th birthday.
A University of Chicago alum (class of
1936), Dunham studied anthropology as an
undergraduate. She traveled to Haiti in the
1930s, where she researched the Caribbean
dance techniques that would ultimately influence her own. She went on to create the Dunham Dance Company, and later to establish
the Katherine Dunham Museum and Children’s Workshop in East St. Louis, IL.
The event, organized by the Logan Center’s
Community Arts Engagement Program Coordinator, Dominique Boyd, brought Chicago’s
Dunham aficionados and members of East St.
Louis dance ensembles to celebrate. It included a “Happy Birthday Katherine Dunham
Cake,” a slideshow of Dunham quotes and
photo, and a display of artifacts she brought
back from Haiti and her later travels.
Boyd explained that this celebration, inspired by a Winter 2016 University of
Chicago Magazine article about Dunham, is
essential to the commemoration of Dunham’s
work in multiple cities.
“We hope that it will be the beginning of
connections made between people in Chicago
and East St Louis,” she said.
Partway through the celebration, members
BUCKNER
of the dance ensembles, their mothers, who
referred to themselves as “Dance Moms” and
other guests introduced themselves. Many remarked upon the opportunities Dunham
dance has given them and on the importance
of remembering her life and legacy.
“She was a shaker; she made you wake up
and recognize things, and Dunham became a
way of life,” said “Mama” Geri Williams who
teaches Dunham Technique at ETA Creative
Arts on 7558 S. Chicago Ave. “It’s how you
approach things; it helps people to become
aware of themselves, open up, and appreciate
other people and cultures.”
Williams explained that the Dunham technique includes three stages: bodywork, progression and conditioning. Dunham had
arthritis in her knees since high school, and
her development of the technique, a synthesis of African dance and ballet movements, allowed her to dance anyway.
“The technique is about finding your center,” Williams said. “This is your foundation
and from there you can branch out and do all
kinds of dance.”
The event was also attended by Ruby
Streate, who danced with the Dunham company and now teaches Dunham Technique in
East St. Louis.
She explained that she has taken it upon herself to help the world remember her friend
and mentor.
“My responsibility is to make sure Dunham’s legacy is preserved. Ms. Dunham
could’ve left her legacy anywhere but has de-

“The tea provides a little bit of natural caffeine and the nuts
and seeds each provide a natural, sustaining energy from the
healthy fats,” he said.
Buckner said he grinds up tea leaves into a powder and mixes
it in with the other ingredients that include raw almonds, organic pumpkin seeds and coconut oil, in a small batch process
that uses a unique dehydration technique at his production facility located in the Greater Englewood area. Each bag contains about 35mg of natural caffeine.

cided to make it in East St. Louis,” she said.
Her Katherine Dunham Kids Workshop,
which works with children ages 4-18, performed earlier in the day at the Harold Washington Library downtown. Jawum Smoot, a
member of the workshop, said he is grateful
for what he has learned from Katherine Dunham dance.
“It has taught me a lot,” he said. “Determination, the understanding that you can never
give up, that you are stronger than what you
TeaSquares offers three flavors: Acai Blueberry Tea, Madagascan Vanilla Tea and Citrus Green Tea Matcha, which Buckner said is his current favorite.
“It has a unique sweet flavor from the matcha and then the
orange pieces give it a citrus burst,” he said. “The cool thing
about tea is there are thousands of different flavor blends and
combinations, so we will be making more flavors down the
line.”
First things first, Buckner is focusing on getting his merchandise inside local businesses. TeaSquares is available at
the Whole Foods in Hyde Park and Evanston, and will also be

think, and that the only way is up.”
Following the celebration, Streate taught a
Dunham Technique Master Class at the University’s Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry
next to the Logan Center.
Of the celebration and class, she said, “This
is just the beginning, just a seed planted to remember her legacy, that of us being whole
people, communities, not fragmenting dance,
making sure we...know who we are.”

Hashtag Lunchbag Helps Feed the Homeless
Herald Intern
Volunteers from the South Side and the
South Suburbs packed lunches for the homeless, Saturday, June 25, at the Promontory,
5311 S. Lake Park Ave., for Hashtag Lunchbag’s monthly event.
The organization, which started in Los Angeles three years ago and grew through social
media, brings people together in various locations throughout the country each Saturday
to pack and distribute lunches to the homeless. Volunteers decorate brown paper bags,
make sandwiches to put inside, and write personal notes to include in the bag. They are
asked to donate $10 to purchase supplies for
the next month’s event.
The event began in Chicago when Ebony
Washington, a resident of Kenosha, Wisc.,
learned about the group and decided to start a
regional branch. The group has worked in
several locations throughout the city and
came to Hyde Park last year.
“We love this location because it’s small but
everyone is so friendly,” Washington said of
Hyde Park. “I feel like this group represents
the neighborhood well because no matter who
you are, you can walk around and see people
who look like you.”
According to Washington, both regulars and
new groups, including girl scouts, high school
students and sports teams, volunteer each
month. She explained that she appreciates the
common interest volunteering provides.
“I like that it doesn’t matter who you are,
that you can wake up on a Saturday morning
and say I want to help people, and it becomes
like a party where you meet like-minded people who just want to help Chicago,” she said.
Volunteer Racquel Fullman, an AuburnGresham resident, agreed that she is grateful
for the opportunity to help her city.
“I love knowing I can help put a smile on
someone’s face even with so much violence
and corruption in Chicago,” she said. “It feels
good to create more peace and positivity
within my city; I love it and am so grateful I
found it and every month I am here.”

New luxury men’s shoe store opening on 53rd Street
By ALLISON MATYUS
Staff Writer
Jojayden Handmade, a men’s shoe store featuring luxury, handmade shoes, opened on
Friday, June 24, at 1457 E. 53rd St.
For Jojayden’s founder, Wale Nubi, the
opening of his first store has been almost five
years in the making but his passion for luxury
shoes has been a lifetime love affair.
“I was born into a family that loved fashion,” said Nubi, who grew up in Nigeria.
He said his older brothers would send him
designer shoes like Gucci and Ralph Lauren
when they couldn’t wear them anymore, and
that he soon became known as the “shoe guy”
at his high school, always sporting expensive
shoes on his feet.
Nubi’s love of shoes took him to Italy, Spain
and China in order to learn the different
processes of how luxury shoes were made and
types of leather to use so he could begin to
make his own pairs.
He has been selling his personal brand, Jojayden, online and at Chicago shops such as
The Silver Room, 1506 E. 53rd St. Whether
he is selling his own shoes or other brands,
Nubi said the goal for Jojayden is to always
feature handmade crafted goods.
“Handmade shoes have a certain quality to
them and there is an appreciation for the time
and technique that goes into it,” Nubi said.
“It’s a shoe you can have forever, so it should
be an investment.”
Jojayden’s merchandise ranges from $100
to $350 and a majority of the products he carries are crafted by hand.
One aspect of his brand is that customers
can build their own shoe through a custombuilt process. Nubi said customized pairs take
about three weeks to make and are hand
stitched in Spain using cow skin leather.
Aside from dress shoes, Jojayden also carries fashionable sneakers, watches and other
accessories. Nubi said they are going to start
to carry merchandise for women as well, such
as high-end heels and handbags.
“For me, the store will serve as a spot where
I meet the people that wear my shoes,” Nubi
said. “Shoes are something that people want
to try on, so it makes sense for a store to be
the next step.”
Jojayden is open Monday through Saturday
from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. and on Sunday from
11 a.m. until 6 p.m.

othing succeeds like excess could be
the guiding principle behind the preBroadway world premiere of “The
SpongeBob Musical,” the stage version of
Nickelodeon’s popular animated television
series “SpongeBob SquarePants” that started
in 1999 and spawned “The SpongeBob
Movie: Sponge Out of Water” in 2015.
For starters, set designer David Zinn, lighting designer Kevin Adams, and projection designer Peter Nigrini to represent the underseas
world of the incurably optimistic little sea
sponge and the other residents of his hometown, Bikini Bottom, have eye-poppingly
tricked out the stage and much of the auditorium of the Oriental Theatre. Elaborate Rube
Goldberg-like constructions flanking the
proscenium periodically spew boulders, and
in the lavishly decorated front boxes, musicians offer a pre-show Hawaiian-style serenade. The blocking of flying sequences and
other special effects are mostly very clever,
and the feel-good finale is an all-out extravaganza of bubbles, paper streamers, and
bouncing balls sent out into the audience.
The high-powered creative team includes
writer Kyle Jarrow (“A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant”), coconceiver and director Tina Landau (a
Steppenwolf Theatre Company ensemble
member), choreographer Christopher Gattelli
(“Newsies” and many more), and orchestrator and musical supervisor Tom Kitt (“Next
to Normal,” “If/Then,” and many more). One
of their innovations was to invite a dozen-orso top pop stars to contribute the songs, which
range from blues and gospel to pure Broadway. A few of the highlights are “No Control”
by David Bowie and Brian Eno, “Hero is My
Middle Name” by Cyndi Lauper, “Super Sea
Star Savior” by Yolanda Adams, “Poor Pirates” by Sara Bareilles, “Chop to the Top” by
Lady Antebellum, “(I Guess) I Miss You” by
John Legend, and “Best Day Ever” by Andy
Paley and Tom Kenny. In “Bikini Bottom
Boogie,” Steven Tyler and Joe Perry serve up
an amusing satire of their own Aerosmith
with the help of the Electric Skates. Internet
phenom Jonathan Coulton is responsible for
the opening “Bikini Bottom Day,” which gets
a couple of reprises followed at the end by
“The SpongeBob Theme Song.”
Another decision that works surprisingly
well was to let the actors appear as people
rather than cartoon characters. Zinn’s generally inspired costumes include a shock of yellow hair for SpongeBob (Ethan Slater), a
pointy pink wig and pink-and-green shorts
and shirt for Patrick Star (Danny Skinner), his
starfish BFF, and an extra set of legs for
Squidward Tentacles (Gavin Lee), whose tap
number “I’m Not a Loser” (by They Might Be
Giants) with the Sea Anemones brings down

The talent assembled for this production is
formidable. Slater’s SpongeBob, a topnotch
singer with a touch of rock ‘n’ roll, is everything one could hope for in a hero with a relentlessly positive attitude—sort of a
modern-day Candide—but enough humility
to have doubts about whether he’s “manager

to save the day. Sandy has devised an “erupter Lazare, in a system of concubinage known as
interrupter,” and their plan is to climb to the plaçage. He has just died under possibly questop of Mount Humongous and throw it in, tionable circumstances, and in Yu Shibagaki’s
though when Patrick Star is led astray by the set design, his ghostly-white body is sussardines who declare him their savior, pended on a board throughout the evening.
Beartrice has three daughters by Lazare:
SpongeBob and Sandy are afraid they will
fail. Furthermore, when they get up on the Agnès (Diana Coates), Odette (Aneisa
mountain and look down on Bikini Bottom, Hicks), and Maude Lynn (Angela Alise Johnthey see that fear and selfishness are tearing it son). Nineteen-year-old Agnès has fallen for
apart even without the volcano. The obvious a very rich, young white man and desperately
message, delivered by SpongeBob, is that wants to go to an upcoming ball to arrange to
only by working together can we overcome be his placée, but her mother, who would have
to be there to sign the papers, violently obobstacles.
While there is much to admire in “The jects to any of her daughters becoming what
SpongeBob Musical”—the songs, the ensem- she considers sex slaves, even though—or
ble, the humor, even a few touching mo- perhaps because—that’s what she has been all
ments—and I enjoyed it more than I thought these years. Lazare, before his death, apI would, some of the scenes run on too long proved of the girls going to the ball, and it was

Bikini Bottom. I also wish the show were a Odette, who is darker than Agnès and worries
bit edgier, and it might have to be to survive that it will be harder for her to find a mate
on Broadway. Since SpongeBob and Sandy (lighter was better in that society), wants to
don’t know if the “erupter interrupter” will go to the ball, too, so she agrees to pretend to
work, it even occurred to me that the evening be her sister’s mother and to sneak out with

her. Maude Lin, on the other hand, has devoted herself to God, and is very holier-thanthou about it.
Beartrice and her daughters live in Lazare’s
mansion, and her main goal is to hold onto it.
He left it to her in his will, but now that the
city is part of the United States, she fears
(justly) that the new powers that be will come,
women of color will be second-class citizens,
and the house will go to Lazare’s white wife.
She needs the money to buy it from that other
woman, if necessary, but ironically the only
way she’s likely to get it is if she lets Agnès
become a placée.
Three other women with ties to Beartrice
and their own agendas also are on the scene.
Her sister Marie-Josephine (Penelope
Walker), who may be crazy or just eccentric,
has been kept locked up in the attic presumably to keep her from her long-ago lover, a
drummer who is dead but who she wants to
join anyway. Makeda (Jacqueline Williams),
Beartrice’s slave for 20 years, just wants her
freedom, and Beartrice has promised that
once she has the mansion, she will free her.
La Veuve (Linda Bright Clay), another free
woman of color, visits, ostensibly to pay her
respects, but she gets into long, bitchy fights
with Beartrice. As it turns out, she stole her
rival’s first common-law husband, who also
died under unexplained circumstances, and
now she wants to buy the house from Lazare’s
white widow right out from under Beartrice.
While the verbal battles between La Veuve
and Beartrice are intermittently amusing, like
so much else in this production, they go on
too long. It doesn’t help that the formidable
Mitchell’s Creole accent—at least I think
that’s what is supposed to be—often is hard
to understand.
Of the daughters, only Odette is the least bit
sympathetic. Having always been in the
shadow of the lighter-skinned Agnès, she discovers her attractiveness and sensuality at the
ball and, after being caught and humiliated by
her mother, makes an unexpected break for
freedom that ruins her sister’s prospects as
well. Not unexpectedly, the three girls engage
in lots of cat fights, with Makeda, who essentially raised them, acting as a mediator. She’s
also enlisted by Marie-Josephine to conjure
up Lazare’s spirit to find out if Beartrice murdered him. This plot line strikes me as a red
herring, and what happens to MarieJosephine at the end is a mystery, though she
does free herself from imprisonment.
Shibagaki’s set suggests New Orleans with
a projection of wrought-iron fences, but we
get little sense of the mansion, the furniture is
minimal, and the whole thing has a budgetbasement feel. Paul Whitaker’s lighting and
Christopher Kriz’s sound design suggest
things like a storm but are nothing special.
I’m not sure if Izumi Inaba’s costumes are
meant to be period, because they’re an odd
mix of more-or-less 19th-century looking and
more modern, again possibly because of financial constraints. Fabian Obispo’s music
had me scratching my head, as did Breon
Arzell’s choreography/movement.
Throughout “The House That Will Not
Stand,” Beartrice’s response to potentially
threatening outside forces is to keep everyone
locked up in her house, essentially imposing
her own form of slavery. I think it would be
better if Gardley explored this and the other
themes in a more realistic and comprehensible fashion using characters who came across
as real people rather than stereotypes. That
also would have given the talented actors
more of a chance to shine and less inclination
to be too broad.

BIRKHOFF RESIDENCE, 1903
4833 SOUTH WOODLAWN AVENUE
OFFERED AT AN EXCEPTIONAL PRICE $1,675,000
This stately residence and coach house have been featured in the New York Times
and as Crain’s Luxury Home of the Week. Located in the heart of the Kenwood
Landmark District, the 6,000 sq ft house was designed for real estate developer
George Birkhoff. Over the course of the ensuing century, many of architect William
Barfield’s details have been covered over. Recent work has brought back much of
his original intent. Window seats with leaded glass above flank the wood-burning
living room fireplace. Floors have been refinished to bring back the luster of inlaid
wood, and the second floor now features an elegant master suite.
The large and gracious rooms contain irreplaceable historic elements, yet much
more remains to be discovered. With 7 bedrooms, 4 and 2 1/2 baths, full basement, lushly landscaped over-sized yard and a 2-bedroom coach house, this is an
incredible value - and an opportunity to write the next chapter of an extraordinary
story.

Designed and built in 1904 by legendary architect Howard Van Doren Shaw,
this residence is approximately 10,000 sqare feet - excluding the full height
basement and coach house. On a magnificent South Kenwood block, the
house is sited on one of the ten largest privately owned residential lots in
Chicago. The large house retains the easy flow and focus on family that were
Shaw hallmarks. Shaw designed and built the home at the peak of his career,
when he had the assistance of his principal protege, David Adler, whose
hand is also evident. The current owners have created an enchanting home
out of a work in progress. Much of the preparation needed to renovate and
update this amazing property has been completed. The house is looking for
yet another romantic, visionary owner who will appreciate the joy of living
in a masterpiece which also happens to be a fantastic family home.
