PHILLIPS Staff Writer The Chicago Free School will not be moving to Augustana Lutheran Church of Hyde Park in January as planned. The church is currently in negotiations with its current resident program The Hyde Park Suzuki Institute to remain in place. The Chicago Free School, a private school where everything is decided by community consensus, was expected to open its doors this fall at its new permanent location in Augustana, 5500 S. Woodlawn Ave., but were told by inspectors that upgrades needed to be made to the church to meet fire code standards for a school. The school had to quickly relocate to the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club (HPNC) 5480 S. Kenwood Ave., until all the upgrades were complete, which was expected to be January, 2015. Lauren Beitler, founder of The Chicago Free School, said the school would no longer be moving to the church. “The cost of construction was going to be too expensive and our budget couldn’t support that in its first year,” Beitler said. She said the school will remain at the HPNC until the end of the year and will explore new options, including remaining at the club, for its 2015-2016 school year. Lucinda Ali Landing, founder of The Hyde Park Suzuki Institute, a longstanding music program that was going to be evicted from the church, said the institute is currently in negotiation with Augustana’s new leadership to determine if its month-to-month lease agreement can become a more “standard, permanent” lease agreement. “Around Thanksgiving weekend, Suzuki was informed by Augustana leadership that the Chicago Free School would not enter into a lease agreement with Augustana,” Ali Landing said. “We had a wonderful meeting with the new church leadership. They invited us to extend our stay.” Interim pastor Julie Ryan See AUGUSTANA on page 2 Augustana Lutheran Church, 5500 S. Woodlawn Ave., reversed its decision to evict the Hyde Park Suzuki Institute and replace it with the Chicago Free School. The church is currently in negotiations with Suzuki.

The CPD and Chicago Department of Transportation are seeking public input regarding needed revetments along the Morgan Shoal area, from 45th Street to 51st Street. A revetment proposal, discussed at the Mandrake Park Fieldhouse, 3858 S. Cottage Grove Ave., last Monday, would raise the lakefront park by three feet. That stretch of parkland currently sits about 12 feet above sea level. Raising it three feet higher would help protect the shoreline, path and Lake Shore Drive, when another storm like the Halloween windstorm that damaged the path blows through.

Hyde Park Blvd. Owen M. Lawson III Hyde Parker approved as city treasurer By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL Staff Writer Chicago’s new treasurer is a Hyde Parker with a campaign based in the neighborhood. Goldman Sachs veteran and Harvard Business School graduate Kurt Summers, 35, was appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel last October just two days after Stephanie Neely announced her resignation. Three weeks after being approved by City Council, on Dec. 1, the political newcomer celebrated his new job with a reception at his campaign headquarters at the Del Prado, 5307 S. Hyde Park Blvd. “This is the first time I’ve ever run for anything, outside of student body,” Summers said in a recent interview at his campaign headquarters. “Electoral politics is all new for me.” Summers’ transition from serving as Senior Vice President of asset management firm Grosvenor Capital Management to public office has been a fast and busy one. So far, he’s pledged to make trips to the city’s 77 community areas in 77 days as part of a campaign effort dubbed “77 in 77.” At the same time, he said he has been attending meetings to “make a dent” on the city’s roughly $20 billion in pension debt by cutting fees paid to managers of multiple public employee retirement funds. According to Summers — who is running unopposed — the decision to open his campaign headquarters three blocks away from his home was not only convenient but also historically significant. His grandfather, Sam Patch, was a close friend of and political strategist for late Mayor Harold Washington, a nearby resident. “As a citywide candidate and someone who is from the community, and whose grandfather was a close friend of Mayor Washington — someone I called uncle Harold — it’s special and significant to me, to have that close connection to where he lived and where he operated out of.” Summers, who moved from Bronzeville to Hyde Park while attending Whitney Young High School, also has ties to other area politicians. A onetime neighbor of state Sen. Kwame See SUMMERS on page 8 AUGUSTANA from page 1 succeeded Stephanie Jaeger, who resigned from her role as pastor of Augustana. Before the offer to remain at Augustana, Ali Landing and her board members were still searching for a new location in Hyde Park that would be suitable to the needs of her music students. “We found lots of beautiful spaces in Hyde Park. The problem was going to be being able to afford the space,” said Ali Landing, who said plans to share space with MUSIC from page 1 Park summer festival on 53rd Street, which between 2010 and 2013 showcased such bands as The Family Stone and War and attracted tens of thousands of visitors. Unlike the Celebrate Hyde Park summer festival, the event wouldn’t take place on the street, according to chamber Executive Director Wallace Goode. “We have pretty much committed that we’re not going to close down any street to make this happen,” Goode said. The George Franklin Memorial Concert Series could count as the committee’s summer music festival, according to Goode.

Waves came through there, they ripped up asphalt, threw it back in the lake, stones were almost at Lake Shore Drive.” The Morgan Shoal is a glacially created bedrock outcropping just six feet beneath Lake Michigan’s surface. The shoal acts as a natural barrier for the lakeshore and helps to create the pebble beach. The lake is currently about two feet shallower than its height in the 1970s and 1980s. Paul Wiese, vice president of SmithGroupJJR, a consultant on the project, said the revetment wants to prepare the lakefront for the possibility that the lake See SHOAL on page 14 the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS), 1407 E. 60th St., did not work out. Ali Landing said she and the board members want Suzuki to remain Hyde Parkbased but would consider working with other neighborhoods as well. “This past year’s experience has opened our eyes and exposed us to other wonderful neighbors and community partners in Woodlawn, Englewood, South Shore, Bronzeville and Washington Park,” said Ali Landing. “We look forward to satellite programming in 2015, expanding our mission around the city.” [email protected] the SECC and University of Chicago Office of Civic Engagement began offering financial support to the concert series, which was founded by Nichols Park Advisory Council President Stephanie Franklin’s husband in 1995. But even if the committee’s planned event is something bigger, it will likely remain in Nichols Park, according to Goode. “The goal will be, we will host some kind of summer music event,” Goode said. SECC Executive Director Wendy Walker Williams said the committee is in the early stages of planning for the next year and is “not ruling anything out.” “We are thinking about a summer music festival, but cannot confirm any details yet,” Williams said.

December 24, 2014, Hyde Park Herald 3 Bob Fioretti, mayoral candidate, warms up to Hyde Park By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL Staff Writer Bob Fioretti is staking political positions to the left of Mayor Rahm Emanuel — including on Hyde Park issues — as the 2nd Ward alderman’s campaign to unseat him heats up. Fioretti, a supporter of Bronzeville activist Jay Travis last spring during her primary bid against state Rep. Christian Mitchell (D-26), is seen as a leading progressive challenger in the 2015 mayoral race. Fioretti has distanced himself from Emanuel in a number of ways, including by Vineyard Church Hyde Park calling for a moratorium on new tax increment financing (TIF) projects. Fioretti stressed that TIFs should be used in blighted areas — not places like 53rd Street, where the University of Chicago’s (U. of C.) Harper Court project was subsidized with $23 million in TIF funds. “I think things could have been handled without using taxpayer assisted money on this,” said Fioretti, who cited tax incentives and credits as alternative ways to spur development. “Our TIF program has siphoned off so much money from paying for our schools, our parks, our first responders,” he added. “It has helped create the financial problems that we have here in this city.” Fioretti admitted that he hasn’t thoroughly examined the issue of the U. of C. police department’s patrol of 37th through 64th streets, but said that the private force should be subject to the Freedom of Information Act. He added that although he has called for hiring more police officers, “we can’t police ourselves out of the problems that we have. We need to reopen our mental health clinics. We need a very active and robust, aggressive CAPS system, community policing system.” On bringing an adult trauma center to the South Side — an issue Emanuel has been silent on — Fioretti said one is “absolutely” needed and he would do “whatever it takes” to help get one here. He said he thinks the U. of C. is reluctant to open one and that the city needs to make it easier for them to do it. “I’ve always been in favor of bringing a trauma center,” he said. “We need one on the South Side.” He added that he would meet with the grassroots Trauma Center Coalition that is pushing the U. of C. to open a level 1 adult trauma center.

BARBARA FLYNN CURRIE (D-25) I am thrilled that the General Assembly approved my measure to provide an election day fail-safe for Illinois voters. When Gov. Pat Quinn signs Senate Bill 172, our citizens will be able to register and vote in their home precincts on every election day starting in 2015. Last spring we approved Election Day registration but only for the Nov. 4, 2014 election. The experiment was a success. People did sign up and they did vote. Unfortunately, there were very long lines at the few locations where same-day opportunities were available. Those lines won’t be a problem going forward, as voters will be able to register and vote in their own precincts. I’m proud that Illinois will join the 12 other states State Rep. that offer Election Day registration. Those states include our neighbors Iowa and Wisconsin, states Barbara Flynn Currie (D-25) that generally have higher voter participation rates than we do. The election bill also expands early voting opportunities. And it will sign us up to participate in the Electronic Registration Information Center and the National Change of Address database. With these tools, election authorities can keep better track of voter eligibility and make sure voters who move have an easy way to register to vote at their new address. Voting rights are fundamental to our system of democratic governance. Expanding access to the ballot is critical to ensuring that each of us can exercise our right to vote. SHOAL from page 2 water could raise by another two or three feet in the future. Building the lakefront three feet higher and about 75 feet into the lake, would help to prevent against flooding along the nearby road. “We might be able to create more recreational opportunities in this narrow band between the lakeshore and the lakefront,” Wiese said. Ideas included adding snorkeling to visit the Silver Spray, a ship that sank on Morgan Shoal in 1914. The wreckage can be seen from the shore when the water is low and is a popular spot among divers. A 2006 plan that would have built a peninsula on top of the wreckage was scrapped. Another public meeting will be scheduled in late January. Construction is not expected until at least 2017. [email protected] By DASCHELL M. PHILLIPS Staff Writer Chicago Public Schools (CPS) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) Friday for a new high school in the current Dyett High School building. The Coalition to Revitalize Dyett High School said the type of school CPS is seeking to put in place is not the right fit for the community. In its RFP, CPS states that it is looking for proposals that will allow it to operate the school or make it a contract school to open in the 2016-17 school year. CPS is not seeking proposals from charter schools. Other criteria for the Dyett building, 555 E. 51st St., include providing a program which engages its students and also meets the needs of the local community and embody the five pillars that CPS believes help increase graduation rates, academic preparedness for college, and helps in both career and life. “Members of the community have expressed a strong interest in a new school at the Dyett site and we look forward to working with the community to develop a new high-quality option for students living in the neighborhood,” said CPS CEO Barbara ByrdBennett in a written statement. “We are committed to ensuring the new neighborhood school at Dyett meets the community’s needs and will evaluate proposals from all interested parties.” Jitu Brown, education organizer for the Kenwood Oakland Community Organization and the Coalition to Revitalize Dyett High School, said CPS is still not listening to the community. “While we are pleased that the school will stay open See DYETT on page 7 Hyde Park Cats are meowing now By LINDSAY WELBERS Staff Writer Hyde Park Cats recently achieved a 501(c)(3) status, making it a tax-deductible nonprofit organization. The group has placed more than 500 felines in permanent homes since its founding in 2008. It traps and gives medical care, including spaying or neutering, to feral or abandoned cats in Hyde Park. Cats that would be better suited as pets are put in a foster home until a permanent owner is found. Those that are better suited to a life outdoors are released back where they were found. “Some of the cats go back onto the street and we use our funds to help feed the feral populations,” said founding member and treasurer Mary Jean Kraybill. “The major expense is medical cost for cats in foster care who come to us with serious medical issues.” Every cat is spayed or neutered, which the organization pays a discounted $65 to have done. They also receive vaccinations, microchips and care for any other medical problem they may have. “We do our very best to help every cat that comes across our door and some of the cases that come in the door are really daunting in terms of what needs to be done,” Kraybill said. Having 501(c)(3) status means that donations to Hyde Park Cats can be tax-deductible, increasing the number of people who might consider donating to the organization. “We have a lot of people who care about our work and that will help them help us,” said Terren Wein, founding member and president. In 2008, Kraybill and Wein began caring for a colony of feral cats, one of many across the city, living near their homes. They provided food and had each cat fixed. Programs, like the one run by Hyde Park Cats, give people the tools and support to trap feral cats near their homes and have them spayed or neutered before returning them to the area they came from. Putting an end to the cats’ abilities to reproduce limits their numbers, curbs unwanted behaviors — like midnight yowling — and keeps them from straining their resources through overpopulation. In return a well-controlled colony of feral cats can keep a neighborhood’s pest population in control.

Dyett is currently in its final year of operation and will close in June. Brown said the reopening of Dyett is a testament to the parents, students and community members who for the past three years fought back against the decision to close the school but is a sad commentary when the response is to sell the school to a private operator.

Brown said the coalition is against contract schools because they don’t have to hire union teachers and they run their schools like portfolios, pushing out low-performing students or children with special needs so that they meet their academic goals in order to be allowed to operate more schools. Brown said CPS could open the doors of Dyett in 2015 if the coalition’s suggestions for a green technology high school were considered. “We’ve identified a principal and mapped out a curriculum and budget for the school,” Brown said.

In response to student and faculty demands the administration will conduct two “campus climate surveys,” convene a Diversity Advisory Council and sponsor an event during winter quarter to discuss the broader issues of diversity and inclusion. “The diversity and inclusion issues we face as a society are significant, with multiple, deep, historical roots that reach into the present. They are important for every institution to address, including universities. For our University, inclusion has an additional fundamental significance because of our commitment to a culture of rigorous and open inquiry, which demands a rich mix of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds,” the letter read. The first of two surveys will “examine the climate with regard to sexual misconduct and sexual assault.” It is expected to be completed by June. Another survey “will focus on diversity, inclusion and the climate for underrepresented groups.” It will be completed as soon as possible, but after the survey on sexual violence. Planning has begun for that survey. The Diversity Advisory Council will include members of the student body and faculty. Adam Green, professor in the Department of History, will act as chair and report to Isaacs and Zimmer. Green will coordinate with William McDade, provost for Research and Minority Issues. The council will advise regarding broad approaches and specific further steps to increase the diversity of the faculty, students and staff. It can also make recommendations on programming and educational opportunities. More information regarding the discussions scheduled for winter quarter will be made available at a later time. “It is crucial that we continue to cultivate a campus climate that welcomes talented faculty, students, and staff of all backgrounds, and that we attack bias, discrimination, and harassment that can threaten that culture and the individuals within it,” the letter said.

RANTALA Classical Music Critic M anfred Honeck is an Austrian native with deep roots in the central European music scene. His work has included stints in Vienna, Zurich, Leipzig and Stuttgart and he is now the music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. Honeck was the guest conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) at Symphony Center earlier this month for a well-chosen set of masterworks by three major central European composers. The main work on the program was Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Honeck was artful in leading the orchestra, without a score, in this lively and joyful composition CATS from page 4 There are only five cats left in the colony that Wein and Kraybill began caring for since 2008. “This little group of five is totally bonded. They rub against each other, they’re the most wonderful cats. I’m just sad I can’t bring them in,” Kraybill said. “I think it would be quite cruel to pin them up.” An outdoor cat’s lifespan averages two Beethoven himself once described as “one of my best works.” Richard Wagner observed that it is the “apotheosis of the dance.” The first movement established that Honeck is adept with rhythmic expression, always using the dotted rhythms to propel the music forward. He conducted with a light touch, contrasting strong sound with moments full of light and air. The funereal rhythms of the “Allegretto” were rendered with skill and the repetitions given organic growth. The richly dark music was at times exquisitely quiet, then slowly building to dramatic climaxes. The rollicking “Presto” was bright and well punctuated and the rapid movement from pianissimo to fortissimo was thrilling. The final movement, imbued with color and splendid definition, moved along at a gripping pace. There were boisterous whirlwinds of complex rhythmic activity with an exciting triple forte (the first time Beethoven had used this dynamic years but this colony has been thriving for eight, Kraybill said. The unexpected outcome from the founding of Hyde Park Cats is that there is a place for Hyde Parkers who want to help out the feline population, but for whatever reason are unable to take one in. “I think people really appreciate knowing they’re empowered to do something,” Wein said. “Now we have a network to help people take care of them.” Hyde Park Cats can be contacted through hydeparkcats.org. [email protected] marking). The concert opened with Haydn’s Symphony No. 93 in D Major. The opening movement showed great attention to contrasts while the second drew out the humorous moments. Quiet passages grew into blustery declarations, thanks to the bassoon. The souring sounds of the “Menuetto” were charming and the final movement was elegant, with lovely legatos and punchy staccatos. Also on the program was the Strauss tone poem “Don Juan.” It opened with energy and punch with Honeck leading the orchestra in an exuberant performance. Concertmaster Robert Chen offered a luscious solo and the brass were bold and brash. The orchestra moved easily from the poignant to the urgent, always holding the attention of the audience.

Belmont Ave. When: through Jan. 4 Tickets: $36-$50 Phone: 773-975-8150 By ANNE SPISELMAN Theater Critic W ith all the accolades I heard heaped on The Ruffians’ “Burning Bluebeard” last year, I expected to be blown away by the reprise of the show about the 1903 Iroquois Theatre fire. But while the concept is brilliant, and some of the execution is riveting, Jay Torrence’s script would benefit from judicious editing, and Halena Kays’ direction could be toned down in sections. Still, the piece, which originated with the Neo-Futurists in 2011 and is as much performance art as play, taps into a basic human impulse. Who does not long for the chance to revisit a tragic event and give it a happy ending? And what are the purposes, possibilities and limitations of art in the face of such a crisis? Torrence, who also portrays Iroquois stage manager Robert Murray, and the ensemble of five actors playing clowns playing real performers on that fateful day, Dec. 30, 1903, tackle the tale in an innovative way designed to immerse us in the experience. After Murray offers an introduction touching on the cause of the fire — a moonlight effect doomed by faulty wiring — we watch the others emerge from body bags on Dan Broberg’s stunning set of the burned-out theater (which was on the site of the Oriental Theatre, built in 1926) complete with frayed red-velvet curtains and electrical flaws. Reminiscent of the characters in “Six Characters in Search of An Author,” they are ghosts determined — or doomed — to relive the final performance, a matinee of the pantomine “Mr. Bluebeard,” in the desperate hope of getting it right, so that the packed house of mostly mothers and children go home happy rather than 600 of them being killed by one of history’s most disastrous fires. Combining music (much of it anachronistic), dance, clowning, mime, circus techniques and audience participation, they interweave scenes from the fairytale “Mr. Bluebeard,” which involved 400 performers, with factual and fictional details of what happened that afternoon. The tension mounts as the urgency of averting the disaster of the Act II moonlight scene gets closer. The plot of the panto, which is about the evil potentate Bluebeard (Anthony Courser playing Henry Gilfoil) who murders his wives, ingeniously connects with the actors’ desires. When Bluebeard discovers his latest wife has entered the secret room holding the others’ bodies against his orders and is about to murder her, the Faerie Queen (Molly Plunk) — there’s always a Faerie Queen in Christmas pantos, we’re told — intervenes, just as the actors want her to save everyone from the fire. Instead, we learn how a series of wellmeaning actions made matters worse. Convinced the fire curtain would come down and do its job, the famous comedian Eddie Foy (Ryan Walters) urged the audience members in the balcony to return to their seats and stay calm, which they did. But when Murray got the stage door open so the performers could escape, the rush of cold air into the theater sent a massive fireball directly their way. On the other hand, one of the only performers to die was Nellie Reed (Leah Urzendowski), an aerialist who poignantly tells us how she was locked into her rigging high above the stage awaiting her big scene in which she flew out into the audience scattering rose petals over their heads. As events move towards the inevitable climax, masterfully evoked by sound designer Mike Tutaj, the Fancy Clown (new cast member Pam Chermansky) increasingly emerges as the malevolent one whose notion of leaving us with something “memorable” is deeply disturbing. Dressed in costume designer Lizzie Bracken’s singed, torn, white-satin clown suit, with her malicious whitefaced sneer, she’s in stark contrast to Plunk’s mute Faerie Queen in tattered chiffon, a lithe contortionist with a beatific smile. The beginning and ending of “Burning Bluebeard” give me the most pause, though parts of the middle are a bit confusing. After the dramatic opening, there’s a long, repetitive section with a lot of frantic activity and shouting that sets up what’s going to happen but basically is unnecessary. The actors behave like little kids rather than their characters; Torrence, for example, flicks on a cigarette lighter to suggest the conflagration to come — and does this three times, in case we don’t get the point. The manic tone doesn’t make sense, and I wondered briefly if the whole evening was going to be like that. I’m more ambivalent about the ending, because there seem to be several of them. I won’t give it away, and my companion insisted that it has to be the way it is, but being something of a pessimist, I’m not so sure. One thing is for certain, though, “Burning Bluebeard” is the most unusual holiday show around. It’s also a vivid reminder of a low point in Chicago history — including plenty of corruption, political and otherwise — and certainly worth seeing for its striking theatricality.

December 24, 2014, Hyde Park Herald 15 Curator at Logan Center returning to European roots By JEFFREY BISHKU-AYKUL Staff Writer After two years serving as the Logan Center’s inaugural visual arts program curator, Monika Szewczyk is leaving the University of Chicago for Athens, Greece. Szewczyk will join a panel of curators for a 2017 European exhibition of contemporary art, “Documenta 14.” During her time at the Logan Center, 915 E. 60th St., she curated and co-curated around 10 shows, ending with “Szalon,” an exhibit of works playing off the meanings of the word in Polish (“crazy”) and in Hungarian (“salon”), as well as Hebrew’s similarsounding “Shalom” (“peace”). As in “Szalon,” Szewczyk’s shows often featured seemingly disparate works defying a strict, overarching theme. Logan Center curator Monika Szewczyk. Spencer Bibbs “There was never a prescription from the people who hired me of what I was supposed to do,” Szewczyk said. “And that was part of the really attractive aspect of the job.” Szewczyk said she sought to convey in her work the feel of a “curatorial studio,” likening her style to that of a studio, which she said is in flux and open to a wider range of interpretation. The Logan Center did this, according to her, by hosting opening receptions weeks after a show was unveiled or by curating a dynamic exhibit such as last winter’s “The Fifth Dimension,” in which new artworks would appear over time. “I think that if things make sense too quickly, then we don’t actually process them, or use them to understand the complexity of the world,” Szewczyk said. “I think art is there to provide a stumbling block to the automatic way of thinking.” But for Szewczyk, it was not only the Logan Center shows that defined her time here: The globetrotter’s two years as a Woodlawn resident was her first experience living in the United States. A Poland native, Szewczyk saw firsthand the emergence of the Solidarity movement, and then moved at age 10 to Vancouver, where she watched Communism collapse from afar as a high school student. She stayed there to attend college and graduate school, and was a curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery before moving to Europe, where she edited publications for the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art while in Brussels, Berlin and Rotterdam. “I was a great fan of Obama, and I was aware of the mythos of this place,” Szewczyk said of her move to the South Side of Chicago. She added that it was “a profound decision, because it really helped to shape how I understand Chicago and how I understand the United States.” [email protected] Hyde Park JCC - Aquatics and Sports Aquatics Group Lessons, Private Lessons, Parent-Tot Classes, GuardStart, Jr. Swim Club, Water Polo Club and American Red Cross Lifeguard Courses.
