Drexel Ave. as the future site of a four-story condominium building on a building permit issued on July 24, as reported by the Herald last week. City Planner Charles Roesner of the Chicago Department of Trans- portation said that the “cottage is not going to be replaced with a condominium; in fact, there are no plans to demolish the cottage,” and the property owner, Tessie Fry, confirmed that she did not sell to developers. No demolition permit has been issued for the property at 5477 S. Drexel Ave. by the Cook County Assessor’s Office. “The lot used to be part of the house’s property, so they share an address at the moment,” said Roesner. He said this despite the fact that the website of the County Assessor’s Office identi- fies the site of preliminary con- struction north of Fry’s property as 5475 S. Drexel Ave., a 3,120 square-foot lot with a 2018 as- sessed value of $9,360. A spokesman for the Cook County Recorder of Deeds said that previous owners of the 1891 single family house at 5475 S. Drexel Ave., John Alvert and Lennie B. Jones, were foreclosed upon in 2015. The Berger Invest- ment Group bought 5475 S. Drexel Ave. in 2017, and 4143 Drexel LLC, which has a mailing address in northwestern exurban Crystal Lake, Illinois, acquired the property on Sept. 12, 2017.

Obama Foundation raised over $232, million according to annual report By AARON GETTINGER Staff Writer The Obama Foundation reported $232,985,747 in revenue, with 99.8 percent coming from contri- butions and the rest from interest and “other income in its first an- nual report.” The report offers an overview of the organization’s goals and val- ues as well as figures about its fi- nances and the diversity of its staff. Individual donations made up $220,730,322, or 94.9 percent, of the fundraising, with $11,862,220 coming from corporate and foun- dation sources. Out of its $22,108,294 in oper- ating expenses, $12,560,630 (56.8 percent) went to programs, $5,294,922 (24 percent) went to general and administrative costs and $4,252,742 (19.2 percent) went to fundraising. The section on diversity, equity and inclusion said a third of the Foundation's leadership team identify as people of color and two-thirds are women. The Foun- dation said it spent $6 million in 2017 on 70 diverse businesses across the legal, digital, insurance and design sectors, among others, including $1.5 million at Chicago- based companies. The report estimated that the OPC will lead to 5,000 construc- tion jobs and 2,500 permanent jobs. It anticipates 760,000 annual visitors to the OPC, with “$3.1 billion expected to reach Cook County in the first 10 years of the Center's operations” and $2.1 bil- lion in economic impact on the South Side. The organization detailed the Obama Foundation Scholars pro- gram, launched this month, wherein 25 participants will com- plete a master's program in inter- national development and policy with the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and a dozen more will do a one- year program at Columbia Uni- versity in New York City. Two pilot programs — Training Days, day-and-a-half-long civic trainings to launch this fall, and the six month-long Community Leadership Corps leadership pro- gram for 18- to 25-year-olds in Chicago, Phoenix and Columbia, South Carolina — were also dis- cussed. The report summarized plans for the Obama Presidential Center Museum. Its ticketed core exhibits will present the stories of the for- mer President, First Lady and Ad- ministration especially in light of African American, civil rights and Chicago history. Materials on dis- play will come either from the museum's collection or the Na- tional Archives. The garden and plaza levels and the Sky Room observation space will be free and open to the public. “The work of our Foundation won’t be easy, nor will it be ac- complished overnight,” said Pres- ident Obama in a letter that prefaced the report. “Lasting change takes patience and persist- ence. It takes resilience amidst setbacks and disappointments. And it takes hope — that times can get better, that progress can be made, that history can be shaped — as long as all of us play our part.” [email protected] Get Up-to-date News Alerts and stay informed!

Our Parks filed a motion in U.S.District Court on Wednesday, Aug.8 to block further Obama Presiden-tial Center-related construction inJackson Park days after the ChicagoPark District began clearing treesfor the new track and field that is tosucceed the one presently on thedesignated site of the Center.Protect Our Parks and additional
individual plaintiffs are suing theCity and Park District to block con-struction of the OPC in JacksonPark, saying that the plan to trans-fer the OPC site from the Park Dis-trict to the City, which will lease itto the Obama Foundation, is legallyinvalid. The Court has agreed to the de-
fendants’ motions, most recently inJune, to delay the lawsuit until theCity Council passes an ordinanceallowing the land transfer, but theplaintiffs’ motion asks the Court tocompel the City and Park District toanswer their legal complaint withhaste.“All environmental organizations
with a conscience, even if it is in-convenient, have a moral environ-mental duty to help us stop theshocking, appalling, outrageous,shameful, disgusting, scandalousand odious destruction of JacksonPark without court permission,”said plaintiff Charlotte Adelman ofWilmette, Illinois.While the new track and field is
not a part of the OPC campus itself,Protect Our Parks allege that theCity and Park District have begunOPC-related work after saying con-struction would not begin before thetransfer of land. Protect Our Parks went on to say
that the lawsuit is not premature re-gardless of when the ordinancepasses because nothing the ParkDistrict and City “may attempt toaccomplish in a speculative futureCity Council action will affectPlaintiffs’ existing causes of ac-tion.” “The Defendants have had this
lawsuit for approximately threemonths, without any substantive re-sponse to the suit,” read the motion.“In the interim, all the Defendantshave done is delayed and sought anopen-ended continuance of all liti-gation, presumably until afterground is broken for the ObamaCenter, at which point the Defen-dants will claim the suit is moot.”“This Court should not counte-
nance the Defendants’ actions,” saidthe plaintiffs. The Park District released infor-
mation on which trees would be re-moved because of the new track andfield construction in early May.Also, the city council voted to en-dorse the OPC in Jackson Park laterin May.Local groups advocating for and
against the OPC in Jackson Parkhave also weighed in on the issue.The protection of trees in JacksonPark has long been the subject oflocal activism, from the instances ofprotesters chaining themselves to
them during the 1950sand ‘60s freeway re-volts."Kids always trump
trees!” said JacksonPark Advisory Coun-cil President LouiseMcCurry, who calledchildren “the primaryusers of JacksonPark,” with “thou-sands” of children andadults using the parkfor a multitude of rea-sons. “We are proud of the
kids, teams, schools,and their coaches whoactively participatedin the planning of anew track and turffield near the JacksonPark Fieldhouse,” Mc-Curry said. “We willproudly participate inthe planting of newtrees to replace any re-
moved during the creation of thiswonderful new sports track and turfsports field for the positive park useof our thousands of kids playingsports in Jackson Park.”Margaret Schmid of Jackson Park
Watch said that Obama FoundationCEO David Simas had committedto not cutting down trees until thefederal historical and environmen-tal appeals process is completed.Simas promised not to do this inJanuary, according to a ChicagoSun-Times report. “We think this raises big questions
about trust. All of these things raisequestions about commitments thathave been raised and not followedthrough,” Schmid said. “It’s not thesort of thing that can make us feelcomfortable that all can be well inthe end, and it doesn’t feel like agood boost to the Obama legacy.” Schmid expressed further concern
about the public comment processregarding the replacement of base-ball fields in Jackson Park that havebeen displaced by the new track andfield. Under the conditions of theUrban Park and Recreation Recov-
ery Act (UPARR), a Carter-eragrant program, all active recreationspace in parks that received federalfunds must be maintained. Because of UPARR, former base-
ball fields on the site of the newtrack and field must be replacedwith adequate active recreationspace. In April, the Midway Plai-sance Advisory Council discussedusing a section of the park betweenthe Illinois Railroad embankmentand Stony Island Avenue for suchuse. As of July 27, the municipal De-
partment of Planning and Develop-ment’s website on the federalreview of Jackson Park improve-ments — i.e., infrastructuralchanges done for the constructionof the OPC and the implementationof the South Lakefront FrameworkPlan — the public process regard-ing the Midway Plaisance andUPARR-required recreation spacewill begin in “late summer.”The Park District submitted an ap-

ceived hands-on experienceas entrepreneurs by runninga food truck business ear-lier this month. The students, who are part
of an entrepreneurshipcamp run by The AcademyGroup, 222 N. Canal St.,helped operate La Conditafood truck parked near 57thStreet and Ellis Avenue onthe University of Chicago(U. of C.) campus duringlunch hours on Aug. 1, 2, 6and 7.The Academy Group
serves over 300 low-in-come and minority studentsfrom fourth to 12th gradeacross Chicago. AcademyGroup student Zion (onlythe first names of the stu-dents were given) said thecamp “teaches kids fromdifferent schools to be en-trepreneurs and leaders.” The summer camp is
based at Walter Payton Col-lege Prep High School,1034 N. Wells St., saidDanny Kim, the instructorof the camp’s fifth gradeBusiness Management classand a Chicago PublicSchools (CPS) teacher inthe Back of the Yardsneighborhood. To make this year’s entre-
preneurship experiencepossible, The AcademyGroup partnered with KrisMika, owner of La Condita. Zion said her class had
been preparing to run thefood truck for about threeweeks. The students madeadvertising flyers, went onfield trips to learn aboutmanaging a business andpracticed making foodthemselves. The fifth graders, who ran
the business on Aug. 7,were selling arancini diriso, or Sicilian stuffed riceballs, but as a part of theentrepreneurship programthe class voted to markettheir dessert as theSweetacini. The Sweetaciniis a rich, warm ball ofsweet rice stuffed withmelted nutella and coveredwith a selection of toppingsthe class came up with:strawberries, whippedcream, chocolate syrup andpowdered sugar. The Academy Group stu-
dents set up a table next tothe food truck and soldtheir Sweetacini to the peo-ple in line for the foodtruck and others whopassed by for $5 with a $1off discount for U. of C.students and staff. “We want to learn how to
be business managers,”Zion said. The business ex-
perience teaches kids pa-tience and how to deal withrejection, she remarked.“People can be dismissive,[but you have to] keep yourcool.” A U. of C. graduate stu-
dent in line was hesitant tobuy a Sweetacini at first,but one young entrepre-neur’s affable and confi-dent marketing paid off,and the graduate studentagreed to place an order. Yannick, another student
in the summer camp, addedthat only an hour after thefood truck opened for busi-ness the students had al-ready served 13 customersand made $60. They are infierce but friendly competi-tion with another class fromthe camp, which operatedthe truck on Aug. 6 andearned $73. The studentssaid that the money will gotoward their camp and theirschools. The class learned about
“accounting, advertising,and money,” Yannick said. Another camper said, “If
we ever wanna be in a busi-ness ... we’ll know how itworks.”

Protect Our Parks motions to halt construction, advance suitBea Lumpkin celebrates 100th birthday at Harper Square Co-opBy AARON GETTINGERStaff WriterBeatrice “Bea” Lumpkin,who lives in the Harper SquareCo-op in Kenwood, has reachedher centennial year. Shepresided over a birthday partyheld in the lobby of 4800 S.Lake Park Ave. on Aug. 10,where residents, well-wishersand admirers feted her withchampagne and cupcakes.Charismatic and spry, Lump-kin regularly takes the bus to theSouth Side YMCA, 6330 S.Stony Island Ave., for morningswims.“I don’t go with her. She does-n’t need anybody to go withher,” said neighbor EvangelinaMiller. “I’m usually on myown, and she’s usually comingor going or exercising alreadywhen I get there.”“You’d never think that 100could look and move as good asshe does, and I hope, whateverit is, she has bottled it so I candefinitely purchase some off theshelf,” Miller said.Another neighbor, IonaGraves, said she has been in-spired and amazed and lived inwonderment since meetingLumpkin. “She is an incredibleperson with an unlimited
amount of energy, and shemakes all of us look like slack-ers.” Graves spoke of the time thatLumpkin walked down and up13 flights of stairs to checkabout the cause of a power out-age with the building's manage-ment, later finding out thatLumpkin, in fact, walks up anddown the stairs several times aweek.Lumpkin was born in the EastBronx during the WoodrowWilson Presidency. Her parentswere political refugees, mem-bers of the Jewish Labor Bundwho fled Russia during thetsarist crackdown that followedthe failed 1905 Revolution. Shestarted her first job assemblingradio tube sockets at 14 in 1933and joined the Young Commu-nist League the same year. She took part in studentstrikes against fascism and mil-itarism, hunger strikes for un-employment relief and theprotests against the framing ofthe Scottsboro Nine.Professor Jenny Carson ofRyerson University in Torontoread about Lumpkin while re-searching laundry workers inNew York City during the De-pression, whom Lumpkin,whose mother worked at the
Triangle Shirtwaist factory, hadorganized.“By the time we met in person… I knew that Bea was the realdeal, that rare breed of personwho practices what theypreach,” wrote Carson in 2012.“Her life reveals that the greatmarch towards a more inclusiveand egalitarian society has been
laid by people of conviction,people whose passion for socialjustice inspires those aroundthem to recognize the power ofcollective action and unity.”After working in the defenseindustry during the SecondWorld War, Lumpkin met herhusband, Frank, and moved toChicago in 1949, working as a
technical writer at Allied Radio,a predecessor to RadioShack. “It was said if you couldn’tget a job in Chicago, you could-n’t get a job anyplace,” Lump-kin said. She led protests againsthousing discrimination, forclean drinking water and a 17-year battle against WisconsinSteel, where Frank worked, thatended with a $19 million settle-ment for workers laid off after aplant closed. She became a Chicago PublicSchools math teacher in 1965,after camping across Europe,for two months, and was activein the Chicago Teachers Unionand the Coalition of LaborUnion Women, which shehelped found in 1974. Lumpkin was also a profes-sor at Malcolm X College andpublished research on the non-Eurocentric history of science— on Ancient Egyptian math-ematics, for instance, and mul-ticultural lesson plans for CPS.She campaigned for HaroldWashington and BarackObama and continues her ac-tivism today.“I grew up knowing about thestruggle of working people toorganize, and over the years it'sbeen like a continuation,” shesaid. “And that's what's filled
my life with purpose and won-derful experiences. And we aremany and they are few, so wewill win.”When asked about advice forpeople who want to live to be100, Lumpkin said she couldsay a lot of “smart-aleck” thingsin response and asked whetherthat particular expression wasstill in the popular use. “When Iuse slang, I have to stop andthink, ‘Hey, nobody may knowwhat this even means any-more!’”“Support the people's struggleso you can be on the winningside,” she ultimately answered.Lumpkin is an active memberof the Illinois Alliance for Re-tired Americans and will lead adiscussion, “Correcting RacistLies We Learned in School,” atan Alliance meeting on Mon-day, Aug. 27 at the Service Em-ployees International UnionHealthcare Illinois office, 2229S. Halsted St., from 10:30 a.m.to noon, preceded by a coffeehour at 9:30 a.m. All are wel-come.Lumpkin’s autobiography,“Joy in the Struggle: My Lifeand Love,” is available onAmazon.

The Academy Group stu-dents set up a table next tothe food truck and soldtheir Sweetacini to the peo-ple in line for the foodtruck and others whopassed by for $5 with a $1off discount for U. of C.students and staff. “We want to learn how tobe business managers,”Zion said. The business ex-
perience teaches kids pa-tience and how to deal withrejection, she remarked.“People can be dismissive,[but you have to] keep yourcool.” A U. of C. graduate stu-dent in line was hesitant tobuy a Sweetacini at first,but one young entrepre-neur’s affable and confi-dent marketing paid off,and the graduate studentagreed to place an order. Yannick, another studentin the summer camp, addedthat only an hour after thefood truck opened for busi-ness the students had al-ready served 13 customersand made $60. They are infierce but friendly competi-tion with another class fromthe camp, which operatedthe truck on Aug. 6 andearned $73. The studentssaid that the money will gotoward their camp and theirschools. The class learned about“accounting, advertising,and money,” Yannick said. Another camper said, “Ifwe ever wanna be in a busi-ness ... we’ll know how itworks.”

Shocked by shootings To the Editor: I, along with many others, am shocked
about the amount of violence about twoweeks ago. I believe that the police are doing all they can
to prevent the violence but I also believe thatthe rest of the criminal justice system in CookCounty is failing the public.Cook County Board President Toni Preck-
winkle has publicly stated that way too manyblack males are incarcerated and she has madeit her mission to address her concerns. She hasinfluenced State's Attorney [Kim] Foxx, ChiefJudge Timothy Evans and Sheriff [Tom] Dartto adjust their policies to follow her beliefs.State's Attorney Foxx has instructed the
Felony Review Unit of her office to limit thenumber of felony charges brought against indi-viduals who are arrested with a firearm withinCook County. The Chicago Police Departmenthas recovered over 5,000 firearms in 2018 butI doubt if even half of those arrested werecharged with a felony. The clearance rate formurders in Chicago is under 15 percent for2018 and if one removes the domestic relatedhomicides and the homicides were the offenderis deceased one will unfortunately discover thatthe actual clearance rate is under 10 percent. Ihave been informed that detectives have askedCCSAO, Felony Review Unit to approvecharges against individuals on many other casesbut have been turned down because they wantadditional evidence. I was really shocked whenI heard that of the 66 reported homicides fromJuly 2018 have resulted in prosecution in onlyone incident.Chief Judge Evans has instructed the judges
in Bond Court to release as many individuals as
possible on recognizance bonds. It makes nosense, to me, that an individual already on pa-role or who has previous bond forfeitures shouldbe granted a recognizance bond. I also find ittroubling that when an individual who has beenreleased on a recognizance bond fails to appear,the judge whom he was to appear in front of is-sues a ruling of "bond forfeited, case stricken,no warrant issued". There are no sanctions at-tached to failing to appear for the hearing!Sheriff Dart is allowing individuals already
on parole or who have failed to appear in thepast for a hearing to walk the streets on homemonitoring. There have been credible reportsthat many of those released on home monitor-ing are not being tracked by his office and he isfailing to advise the public of same.The police are trying their best but the re-
mainder of the criminal justice system is fail-ing the citizens of Chicago.Note: I am a retired police officer with 33+
years of service with the Chicago Police De-partment and was fortunate of having served indoing investigative work for 30+ years of mycareer including assignments as Commander ofVice and Narcotics, Deputy Chief of OrganizedCrime and Detective Division and Deputy Su-perintendent of Internal Affairs.

Park ScamTo the Editor: If anyone has been paying attention to what is
happening behind the scenes, the proposedObama “Center” in Jackson Park has continuedto morph from the official NARA PresidentialLibrary it was promised to be into a Lucas Mu-seum redux and Obama tchotchke museum andfinally a daily changing amorphous Obama"Center" and what can now be honestly identi-fied as little more than a towering 235 feet highObama shrine and a complex of other buildingsto serve as a political clubhouse to clone com-munity organizers of himself – at undisclosedpublic expense – on priceless lakefront dedi-cated public park land to be stolen from the his-toric Jackson Park.Meanwhile the residents of Woodlawn and
adjoining south side neighborhood who werefirst promised that this project would “generatethousands of jobs and generate $3 billion ineconomic activity” were cold shouldered andrejected when all they asked for was the ObamaFoundation to enter into a carefully preparedCommunity Benefits Agreement drafted by the18 organization membership South Side Com-munity Benefits Coalition; a CBA that merelyput in writing an enforceable obligation to ac-tually do exactly what Obama was pretendingto be offering.Don't the deserving residents and taxpayers
of Chicago deserve something more than a conjob from their Mayor?

Mayoral Candidate Troy LaRaviere pledged to ‘be a candidate for the people’By AARON GETTINGERStaff WriterMayoral candidate Troy LaRaviere pledged
to “be a candidate of the people” during a“People’s Assembly” listening session onAug. 8 at the Parent Cooperative for EarlyLearning preschool, 5300 S. Shore Dr.LaRaviere, President of the Chicago Princi-
pals and Administrators Association, attackedMayor Rahm Emanuel as the mayor of CEOs,bankers, school privatization proponents and“vulture capitalists,” saying they have organ-ized to take “great control” of the federal,state and municipal governments.He praised, on the other hand, “everyday
working people” who organize around the is-sues of housing, education, homelessness andtaxation and said his campaign would partnerwith them.“We end up having to select from the people
who are in the pockets of those who mean usno good,” he said. The goal of his campaignis thus to create a movement “to give every-body a mayor.” He pledged not to take dona-tions from corporations or those “trying to dobusiness with the City.”Invoking Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’
2016 presidential campaign that invigor-ated the political left in the United States,LaRaviere said he wanted his campaign to“lift up issues and lift up voices that nor-mally don’t get the time of day.”An aide said that canvassers in Hyde Park
had heard many residents’ concerns about ed-ucation, housing and the community benefitsagreement push. LaRiviere invited those atthe meeting to suggest topics to talk about ingroups, and the audience eventually voted todiscuss environmental justice and racism aswell as education.After aides summarized the group discus-
sions, LaRaviere responded to the concernsthey raised. He discussed finding a place toteach his son how to ride a bike, choosing apath near Lake Calumet, near the industrialIndiana border, instead of the crowded Lake-front and 606 trails.“We got to the spot and rolled down the
windows, and the smell was —” he paused,grimacing. “I looked at my wife, and shelooked at me. There wasn’t a word said. Werolled up the windows, and we drove backhome. We didn’t want to think about our-selves or our son riding in that.”“There are people who live in this every sin-
gle day, he said. “They can’t just pack up.Their kids are living in this. Their kids arebreathing this everyday, [something] that Ididn't even want my son exposed to for fiveminutes.”LaRaviere called for a public information
campaign about environmental issues inChicago, saying, “People just don’t knowwhat their brothers and sisters are goingthrough.” He also appreciated the discussiongroup’s suggestion to merge environmentaljustice with the community benefits agree-ment push, which he endorses. He further en-dorsed equity frameworks, or equity analysis,wherein governmental bodies judge propos-als based on their community impacts and de-grees of community involvement in planningprocesses.Responding to discussions of education cur-
riculum, LaRaviere discussed his publicschool-enrolled son’s amazement at the Uni-versity of Chicago Lab Schools’ foreign lan-guage and specialized arts programs when heattended summer school there.“We know our education system is in sham-
bles. It's not doing something right,” he said,calling the state of democracy in the UnitedStates a reflection of its education system.
Civics, he said, should be the most-empha-sized aspect of education, with engagementon all levels of government.A graduate of what was then Dunbar Voca-
tional High School in Bronzeville, LaRavierealso lauded trades-related education, callingit an “avenue” into entrepreneurship andwealth.LaRaviere endorsed an elected Chicago
Public Schools (CPS) board with public fi-nancing for elections at the event. He com-pared the current board with the “thugs” and“gangsters” on the City Council, apparentlyreferencing an incident last month at theChicago Aldermanic Black Caucus’ annualfundraiser when Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) of
the Far South Side and Ald. Willie Cochran(20th) of Woodlawn called young black pro-testers against the construction of the CopAcademy gangsters.He later called Chicago Public Schools “the
most understaffed school district in the Stateof Illinois,” saying it ranked next-to-lastamong the state’s 858 districts in the ratio ofstudents to certified staff. As he said CPSranked in the top half of expenditures per stu-dent, however, he questioned where themoney was going.“All of those things that we need that we
don't have, we need because there are not re-sources for our school system or the resourcesare being diverted toward the funders of thecorrupt gangsters,” he said, identifying cor-ruption as the central root of Chicago’s ills.LaRaviere was born in Chicago in the early
1970s and raised on the South Side. Heserved in the U.S. Navy before attending theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana–Champaignwhere he received his bachelor’s and master’sdegrees in education. He became a teacherwith CPS in 2005, an assistant principal in2007 and principal at Blaine ElementarySchool in Lakeview in 2011. In 2016, he be-came President of the Principals Association.LaRaviere campaigned for County Com-
missioner Chuy Garcia in the last mayoralelection and served as a Sanders delegate andon the platform committee at the 2016 Dem-ocratic National Convention. He lives in Bev-erly.Some of the participants at the event came
from outside of Hyde Park–Kenwood; LaR-aviere’s campaign has a South Side receptionplanned for next Saturday, Aug. 18 from 3p.m. to 6 p.m. at BJ’s Market and Bakery inCalumet Heights, 8734 S. Stony Island Ave.Additionally, there are People's Assembliesplanned in Uptown and Logan Square nextweek.

potluck held at a Madison Park residence, saidorganizer Maureen Graves. “It was peoplewho wanted to do something about the crisis
that was created by deciding to separate fam-ilies,” she said.Graves said that incarcerating asylum seek-
ers is unnecessary as it makes sense for themto cooperate with the process so as to belegally protected in the United States.The barbecue was the local edition of the
Families Belong Together Community Cook-out, a fundraising project held in locationsacross the country over the weekend by Peo-ple’s Action, a national progressive politicalnetwork headquartered in Chicago.

Dyett High School is one of the recipients of CPS, CTU $10 millioninvestment for better support and services to kids and familiesBy GABRIELLA CRUZ-MARTÍNEZContributing WriterWalter H. Dyett High School for
the Arts, 555 E. 51st St., was amongthe 20 schools selected to receive acombined $10 million investment toimplement the Sustainable Commu-nity Schools Initiative, a new initia-tive that pairs schools withcommunity organizations to providecritical services to better supportchildren and families. Chicago Pub-lic Schools and the Chicago Teach-ers Union announced the list ofschools on Aug. 7. In order to be considered for the
initiative, schools must be registeredfor neighborhood open enrollment,and located in a low-income com-munity with 81 percent or more ofthe students qualifying for free or re-duced lunch.The pilot program, scheduled to
start in October, was created to “in-crease parent and community en-
gagement, improve school climateand address students’ socio-emo-tional needs,” according to the CTU.The model, produced after nearlytwo years of negotiation betweenCPS, CTU and community allies inthe Grassroots Education Move-ment, also includes trauma servicesand restorative justice practices forstudents and family members, pro-vides children with out-of-schoolprograms, and helps ensure that cur-riculum is culturally relevant. “When schools and communities
work together, great things happenfor our children,” said Mayor RahmEmanuel in a statement. “The Sus-tainable Community Schools Initia-tive will help foster collaborationand cooperation between schoolsand communities in neighborhoodsacross Chicago. This is a win for ourstudents, our schools and our com-munities.”Dyett High School will partner
with Kenwood Oakland CommunityOrganization (KOCO), which has a
longstanding reputation for helpinglow-income and working familieswithin North Kenwood, Oaklandand its adjacent communities. In2015, KOCO led in the formation ofthe Coalition to Revitalize Dyett,which successfully advocated tohave Dyett re-opened, remain anopen enrollment neighborhoodschool, and incorporate green tech-nology into its curriculum after theChicago Board of Education phasedit out.“We are extremely grateful to have
this grant come to our school,” saidDyett Principal Beulah McLoyd.“We want Dyett to be a pillar of au-thentic engagement in theBronzeville and larger south sidecommunity, for it to serve as a tech-nology hub that can support and ben-efit everyone, and fill the demand foran arts high school in on the southside.” According to McLoyd, the school
plans to accomplish several differ-ent projects with the investment, in-
cluding providing diverse learnerswith a counseling department thatand will support their emotional andacademic well-being, and meets anadequate student to counselor ratio[at minimum one social worker per250 students] with the aid ofKOCO; increase enrollment thatcan weather population changes,prioritize support in student leader-ship initiatives, and create a robustafter-schools program and schoolcurriculum focused on the school’sart focused vision. Examples of resources the school
community can receive through theprogram also include children andfamily health services, social andemotional learning support, enrich-ment and recreational activities, fam-ily programming and homelessnesssupport services. “These are a few of the interest
points we’ve discussed with com-munity members at Dyett, but wewill have future meetings led by theKenwood Oakland Community Or-
ganization to decide where we wantthese resources to go,” addedMcLoyd. The planning committee will con-
sist of two Dyett parents, one stu-dent, one teacher and members ofthe neighborhood. In addition to receiving $500,000
to implement the Sustainable Com-munity Schools Initiative, earlierlast month Dyett High School wasannounced to be among the 28 se-lected schools to receive renova-tions to their science laboratories aspart of the district’s new $75 millioninvestment plan to upgrade 82 pub-lic high school labs over the nextthree years.“This will help us ensure that stu-
dents have a solid foundation in thearts and sciences, so that they canfully compete in a global economy,”said McLoyd in a written statement.Dyett High School is slated to re-
ceive new science labs for the 2019to 2020 school year.
La Rabida ranked among the most beautiful hospitals in the USBy ANDREW SHIHerald Intern La Rabida Children’s Hospital,
6501 S. Promontory Dr., wasranked among the Top 20 MostBeautiful Hospitals in the US bySoliant Health, an American health-care staffing company on July 20.La Rabida, which provides spe-
cialized care to over 9,000 childrenand families per year, is the onlyChicago hospital to make the list.La Rabida entered the contest and aquarter-million voters determinedthe ranking.“We’re very proud and humbled
to make Soliant Health’s 2018 MostBeautiful Hospitals list,” said LaRabida CEO and President BrendaWolf in a statement. “The beauty ofLa Rabida comes from our commit-ment of wanting kids to feel likekids when they come through ourdoors; the child-friendly facilities,hospital grounds and staff speak tothat commitment.”She said, “Knowing this designa-
tion comes from the general public
is really gratifying; we appreciatethat people from all over the coun-try recognize that La Rabida is a re-ally special and beautiful place.”La Rabida’s main campus, situ-
ated on a peninsula, faces JacksonPark Harbor with its back to thelakeshore, where the Chicago sky-line is visible. The building is mod-eled after the SpanishGovernment’s 1893 ChicagoWorld’s Fair exhibition hall, whichitself was a replica of the MonasteryLa Rabida in Andalucia, Spain. Theexhibition hall was donated to theCity of Chicago, becoming a sani-tarium, and has been serving chil-dren since 1896. The nautical theme, which incor-
porates wave patterns and represen-tations of sea life, begins at themain entrance and continuesthroughout the hospital. The hospital’s rehabilitation
amenities include an aquatic therapypool and a rehab gym, which re-wards young patients with views ofthe Lake. Staff members use thegym’s toys and state-of-the-art
equipment to turn therapy into en-gaging games. Kids like Dennis (lastname withheld), who is part of theoutpatient program, can shoot hoopson the mini-basketball court withrehab aides like Crystle Grinen. La Rabida’s second floor accom-
modates the S.S. La Rabida, thecruise ship-style inpatient unit. Arotunda connects the north andsouth “decks,” which have been re-modeled to give every child theirown room. Each of the 34 “cabins”has a view of the water. The Child Life Pavilion annex,
hanging over Lake Michigan, is a“clinic-free” space where kids can“come just to play.” Just off thePavilion is the newly unveiled,grant-funded therapy kitchen, akitchen and dining area adapted forchildren with disabilities that can beused for occupational, physical andspeech therapy.Clouds hang from the ceiling of
the airy second-floor waiting area,which houses the hospital’s ownpharmacy and overlooks the outpa-tient reception. The outpatient re-ception area has seating for familiesand is framed by floor-to-ceilingwindows with unobstructed vistasof Lake Michigan. The outdoor outpatient reception
area and the shady playground-stylehealing garden, where the WhiteSox recently led a batting practicefor patients, is a sanctuary for fam-ilies and patients. The hospital’s roof provides a
habitat for wild geese, and everyyear, hospital personnel help set thenewly hatched goslings down. Lauren Clennon, a communica-
tions specialist with five years ofhealthcare experience, said being bythe lakeside adds to the therapeuticvalue for kids and lends itself reallywell to the healing process. The La Rabida staff are affection-
ately known as the “crew.” “I’veworked here for six months,” saidClennon. “Every single person is allin to the [hospital’s] mission.”La Rabida is a safety-net hospital
and Medicaid covers many ex-penses. Care that is not covered butis still a fundamental part of well-ness for children is provided withthe generous support of volunteers,grants and donors. Clennon said what makes La Ra-
bida so special is that “a corner-stone of admission is supporting notjust kids but also families.” She said, “Just being here in the
morning, watching the sun comeup, it’s a beautiful place to work.” La Rabida Children’s Hospital will
hold its third annual Back-to-SchoolDance for patients on Aug. 24. For more information, visit La
Rabida’s website,www.larabida.org.

By ANNE SPISELMANTheater Critic
Samuel D. Hunter's “The Harvest,” which isenjoying a well-acted Chicago premiere byGriffin Theatre Company, begins with five
twentysomethings in a grubby church basement.They are standing or kneeling, sometimes mov-ing around the room, praying individually, theirfervor increasing until they are doing what'sknown as “speaking in tongues.”The one hour and forty-five minute drama, setin the small town of Idaho Falls, Idaho, ends themuch the same way, only this time the worldmay have changed for at least one of them.These tableaux also are emblematic of theirquest for meaning and their basic failure to com-municate with each other.The characters are young Evangelicals in thefinal days of preparation for a mission to an un-named Arabic-speaking country in the MiddleEast. We get to know them gradually, as Hunterdoles out their back stories, sometimes with-holding information that, once it is revealed,clearly is crucial. He's never condescending andalways compassionate towards his creations,though we can clearly see their shortcomings.Most of them are going for four months to con-vert Muslims to Christianity by “witnessing,”and it's hard to know whether the vagueness
about the destination is indicative of their clue-lessness and innate sense of superiority or theplaywright's reluctance to be too specific lest hisplay become dated. Certainly, as Ada (KiaylaRyann), the relentlessly upbeat organizer whohas been “over there” before, leads them throughrole-playing exercises, it's clear they have noidea what they're getting into.A young married couple, Marcus (Taylor DelVecchio) and Denise (Kathryn Acosta), aregung-ho, though when Marcus finds out his wifeis pregnant, he arranges without her knowledgeor consent for them to spend their time overseasin an office. This is just one example of him ex-ercising control over her, from the moment hetells her she's speaking in tongues “wrong,” andthe two actors do a compelling job of conveyingthe nuances of this toxic relationship.Also signed up for four months is Tom (CollinQuinn Rice) a very nervous young man who hasnever been out of the town, has issues with hisdevout father, and is worried about his best friendwith whom he shares a love of classical music..That friend is Josh (Raphael Diaz), who unlikethe others, is planning to relocate indefinitely andwill be in a different village, something thatdeeply disturbs Tom.Josh's crisis of faith is at the center of the story,and Diaz's layered performance makes it palpa-ble. Traumatized by the recent death of his alco-holic father and his miserable life with the mansince the loss of his mother, he's desperatelyseeking a sense of purpose and a sign from Godthat he's doing the right thing. But Tom isn't theonly one who doesn't want him to go: Josh's sis-ter, Michaela (Paloma Nozicka), who left thefamily years ago and didn't even make it backfor dad's funeral, returns from Oregon intent onpreventing her brother from throwing his lifeaway, as she sees it.Not surprisingly, accusations and recrimina-tions fly between the siblings, with Josh accus-
ing Michaela of desertion and neglect, andMichaela using her need to get out, the methhabit she's kicked, and a bad boyfriend as ex-cuses. When she suggests that she and Joshcould live together on the family farm he inher-ited, he suspects that she just wants a place tostay and a piece of his inheritance, though a briefvision of how the farm could be brought back tolife shakes his resolve.Adding another dimension to the arguments isthe late arrival of Chuck (Patrick Blashill), whofills Josh — and us — in on his father's historywith the church and how he became an alco-
holic. Whether his tale, a long monologue, is trueor not is unclear, because he's the pastor of thechurch and has an ax to grind. His presence alsohelps explain, late in the game, Tom's behavior.Under Jonathan Berry's canny direction, theending of “The Harvest” is ambiguous, or at leastlighting designer Heather Gilbert's final cuemakes it seem so. Sotirios Livaditis' set designis so convincing it feels dank, while Mieka vander Ploeg's costumes suit the characters well, andSarah Ramos' sound design peaks with a thun-derstorm, While I found the play manipulativein parts, it's also thought-provoking.

Saturday night’s Chicago Symphony Or-chestra (CSO) concert at the pavilion atRavinia was originally to have featured
Illinois native Matthew Polenzani, a tenor ad-mired here in Chicago and around the world.When he became ill, a substitute was engagedwho also promptly became ill. But third time’sthe charm: Michael Fabiano, who had alreadybeen slated for a performance the night before,stepped in and wowed the audience with a mag-nificent performance.He was joined by Nadine Sierra, an accom-plished soprano who made her professionalopera debut at the tender age of 16 and has beenin great demand ever since.Presiding at the podium was James Conlon,music director for the CSO at Ravinia from2004 to 2015, who brought confident and as-sured leadership.The program was a well-conceived mash-upof Rossini and Donizetti. The former was rep-resented by orchestral music from his operas(overtures and one ballet), while scenes fromthe latter’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” made upthe balance of evening’s music.The Donizetti excerpts were the highlight ofthe evening, going from strength to strength.First, Sierra and Fabiano took on the Act I duetwhere Lucia and Edgardo declare their love foreach other and they exchange rings to marktheir promise to marry.Sierra conveyed the earnest and devoted pas-sion of a young woman while Fabiano laced hisperformance with ardent love and a confidentassurance. Among the lines the characters eachsing alone and then later together is “the breezewill carry my most ardent sighs to you,” as theynote that they must first be parted before theycan marry. The soothing Ravinia breezesseemed full of ardor as they sang, and by thetime they took on the line together it was un-mistakable that love was in the air. Conlon en-sured that the orchestra provided firm support.Sierra’s mad scene was a triumph. For this,principal flute Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson waspulled from the orchestra and performed at thefront of the stage next to the soprano. The ef-fect was breathtaking. The American soprano captured all the rawemotion of Lucia’s transformation from a happyyoung woman in love, to a desperately confusedand demented bride who has just killed the manshe was forced to marry. Sierra spun out golden
lines of music, delicate, ecstatic, and deliriousin turns, and sculpted the long opera segmentso that each of the peaks and valleys were beau-tifully rendered.Höskuldsson, formerly of the Metropolitan
Orchestra, has performed this music manytimes and brought a clear and intelligent under-standing. With the flute echoing and enhancingthe emotion of the soprano line, the full duetquality of the music was expertly realized. Hissound was polished, warm and haunting.Even before the excerpt was complete, at amoment when the music lulls to silence, the au-dience was on its feet with tremendous applauseand hoots and hollers of approval. After themusic was complete, the audience again regis-tered their overwhelming approval.The last of the “Lucia” excerpts was the finalscene of the opera, where Edgardo learns thathis love has died and he contemplates a lifewithout her. That is unendurable and so he de-cides to kill himself. Fabiano equaled Sierra inhis ability to dig down into the music and bringforth the desperation of a doomed lover. Hismoving account was infused with anguish anddespair and like Sierra before him, his perform-ance was interrupted with roaring applause. Injust three scenes, this pair of singers provedonce again the power of Donizetti’s music.The concert opened with Rossini, the overtureto “The Barber of Seville.” Conlon opened witha creamy and gentle sound from the orchestra,leading effectively into the stormy section. Thefrenzied pace at the end of the overture wasbracing but it never smudged the clarity of theindividual lines.The overture to Semiramide gave the CSO’swind section an opportunity to shine and theyprovided a quiet and thoughtful approach thatled directly to big, full sound from the entire or-chestra. “Passo a sei,” the Act I ballet from “WilliamTell” highlighted the folk dance quality of themusic with the low string pizzicato like a dancein itself. The celebratory quality of the scorecame through vividly.The concert closed with the overture to“William Tell.” The opening “Dawn” sectionfeatured principal cello John Sharp as soloist,whose work was poignant and effective. Theother low strings provided a firm anchor. Thefollowing “Storm” had admirable bluster in thetrombones. The “Ranz des vaches” (“Call to theCows”) was a soothing pastorale. The finale,“The March of the Swiss Soldiers,” was gal-loping good fun, fleet and sleek.

During the pre-show announcements forthe performance of Chicago ShakespeareTheater's “A Midsummer Night's
Dream” in Eckhart Park, the actress playing He-lena came out on stage and asked people whowere seeing a Shakespeare play for the first timeto raise their fans (which had been given out withprograms and had the Bard's image on them).Quite a few went up.And just before the show started, she encour-aged the audience not to become discouraged ifthe language sounded foreign: Their ears wouldsoon get used to it.In case you hadn't guessed, the Chicago Shake-speare in the Parks program is aimed at newbiesin the hopes perhaps of turning them on to the-ater in general and/or Shakespeare in particular.Artistic Director Barbara Gaines has trimmed thecomedy to 75 minutes or so, amped up thesound, peppered it with hip hop and other con-temporary pop, and packed in a passel of localreferences, starting with the fact that Theseus
(Kevin Gudahl) is no longer the Duke of Athensbut rather the mayor of our city.It's all in good fun, even if it's likely to annoypurists and doesn't always make logical sense.For example, the rustics, dubbed “Chicagoworkers,” head to Garfield Park—locations areindicated by banners — for their final prepara-tions to entertain the duke, er mayor, and hisbride Hippolyta (Jasmine Bracey), and fromthere, one of them says he can see the weddingparty assembling at Buckingham Fountain,which would be impossible.To her credit, Gaines' cuts haven't done theessence of “Midsummer” any real harm, espe-cially since parts of the full play can be pretty te-dious. She's also incorporated the doubling thatI believe is essential, with the same actors play-ing Oberon and Titania as Theseus and Hip-polyta, and Cage Sebastian Pierre as bothPhilostrate at court, now City Hall, and a won-derfully mischievous Puck in the forest, or rather,parks.Puck's glittery purple punk outfit and wig areeye catchers, as are many of the costumes by de-signer Mieka van der Ploeg's, among them theass head for Bottom (Adam Wesley Brownthrough Aug. 19; Sean Fortunato starting Aug.21), though he could use a tail, too. An amusingnod to the audiences of today is Puck's conster-nation at trying to figure out what “formal attire”means as he attempts to follow Oberon's in-structions regarding the young people.The plight of the two couples is one of the threemain plot lines, along with the workers' re-hearsals of “Pyramus and Thisbe,” and Oberon'splan to get Titania's changeling boy by makingher fall in love with some vile thing, to wit the
transformed Bottom. At the outset, Hermia(Faith Servant) has been promised by her father(Jarrett King) to Demetrius (Tyrone Phillips), butshe loves Lysander (Christopher Sheard) instead.Faced with the prospect of death or banishmentto a convent if she disobeys her dad, she andLysander decide to flee — to his aunt's house inGary, Ind. Meanwhile, Helena (Laura Rook) is inlove with Demetrius, who scorns her thoughthey were previously engaged, and she hopes toget back into his good graces by revealing Her-mia and Lysander's intent.They all get lost, and thanks to Puck's interfer-ence, their affections get misplaced. Gaines elim-inates some of the ensuing arguments andwanderings but keeps the best bits, such as Her-
mia and Helena's fight over their respectiveheights, here augmented by part of Randy New-man's “Short People,” which frankly seems to bestacking the deck. Unfortunately, the escalatingshrillness doesn't serve the lovers well, and thesescenes would benefit from more subtlety and lessshouting.The tendency to overdo things arguably un-derestimates the audience and is the main flaw ofChicago Shakespeare's “A Midsummer Night'sDream,” but overall the play and the productionlend themselves extremely well to a pleasantsummer evening in the park. Gaines has changedthe ending a bit, but like so much else here, thespirit of harmony and inclusiveness are true tothe original.

Samuel D. Hunter's “The Harvest,” which isenjoying a well-acted Chicago premiere byGriffin Theatre Company, begins with five
twentysomethings in a grubby church basement.They are standing or kneeling, sometimes mov-ing around the room, praying individually, theirfervor increasing until they are doing what'sknown as “speaking in tongues.”The one hour and forty-five minute drama, setin the small town of Idaho Falls, Idaho, ends themuch the same way, only this time the worldmay have changed for at least one of them.These tableaux also are emblematic of theirquest for meaning and their basic failure to com-municate with each other.The characters are young Evangelicals in thefinal days of preparation for a mission to an un-named Arabic-speaking country in the MiddleEast. We get to know them gradually, as Hunterdoles out their back stories, sometimes with-holding information that, once it is revealed,clearly is crucial. He's never condescending andalways compassionate towards his creations,though we can clearly see their shortcomings.Most of them are going for four months to con-vert Muslims to Christianity by “witnessing,”and it's hard to know whether the vagueness
about the destination is indicative of their clue-lessness and innate sense of superiority or theplaywright's reluctance to be too specific lest hisplay become dated. Certainly, as Ada (KiaylaRyann), the relentlessly upbeat organizer whohas been “over there” before, leads them throughrole-playing exercises, it's clear they have noidea what they're getting into.A young married couple, Marcus (Taylor DelVecchio) and Denise (Kathryn Acosta), aregung-ho, though when Marcus finds out his wifeis pregnant, he arranges without her knowledgeor consent for them to spend their time overseasin an office. This is just one example of him ex-ercising control over her, from the moment hetells her she's speaking in tongues “wrong,” andthe two actors do a compelling job of conveyingthe nuances of this toxic relationship.Also signed up for four months is Tom (CollinQuinn Rice) a very nervous young man who hasnever been out of the town, has issues with hisdevout father, and is worried about his best friendwith whom he shares a love of classical music..That friend is Josh (Raphael Diaz), who unlikethe others, is planning to relocate indefinitely andwill be in a different village, something thatdeeply disturbs Tom.Josh's crisis of faith is at the center of the story,and Diaz's layered performance makes it palpa-ble. Traumatized by the recent death of his alco-holic father and his miserable life with the mansince the loss of his mother, he's desperatelyseeking a sense of purpose and a sign from Godthat he's doing the right thing. But Tom isn't theonly one who doesn't want him to go: Josh's sis-ter, Michaela (Paloma Nozicka), who left thefamily years ago and didn't even make it backfor dad's funeral, returns from Oregon intent onpreventing her brother from throwing his lifeaway, as she sees it.Not surprisingly, accusations and recrimina-tions fly between the siblings, with Josh accus-
ing Michaela of desertion and neglect, andMichaela using her need to get out, the methhabit she's kicked, and a bad boyfriend as ex-cuses. When she suggests that she and Joshcould live together on the family farm he inher-ited, he suspects that she just wants a place tostay and a piece of his inheritance, though a briefvision of how the farm could be brought back tolife shakes his resolve.Adding another dimension to the arguments isthe late arrival of Chuck (Patrick Blashill), whofills Josh — and us — in on his father's historywith the church and how he became an alco-
holic. Whether his tale, a long monologue, is trueor not is unclear, because he's the pastor of thechurch and has an ax to grind. His presence alsohelps explain, late in the game, Tom's behavior.Under Jonathan Berry's canny direction, theending of “The Harvest” is ambiguous, or at leastlighting designer Heather Gilbert's final cuemakes it seem so. Sotirios Livaditis' set designis so convincing it feels dank, while Mieka vander Ploeg's costumes suit the characters well, andSarah Ramos' sound design peaks with a thun-derstorm, While I found the play manipulativein parts, it's also thought-provoking.
