Today in Rogers Park - April 10th, 2013

Today in Rogers Park is a series to inform our community of relevant daily events, including the arts, entertainment, presentations and community meetings. - Bill Morton 

Madonna della Strada Chapel - Music From the Mission at 3 pm

Loyola University Chicago boxoffice@luc.edu

The Jesuits were expelled from the Spanish colonies in South America in 1767, leaving behind a remarkable musical legacy that was buried for over two hundred years. But the music did not disappear completely. ­Thanks to the Chiquitos people of Bolivia, the music was played and preserved throughout the 18‑th and 19‑th centuries. In 1985, Swiss architect Hans Roth discovered 9,000 of these musical manuscripts, and in 1990 UNESCO declared the churches of the Chiquitos a “patrimony of humanity”. Now, Dr. Gustavo Leone of Loyola University Chicago’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts has painstakingly retrieved and restored four of these incredible manuscripts, preserving a rare and invaluable treasure of the Jesuit and Catholic heritage such as “Misa Zípoli” by Doménico.

Senator Dick Durbin on Loyola Station renovation

The Loyola CTA Station will soon see major improvements, ensuring the safety of passengers and pedestrians, as the result of $11 million in federal funding, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin said today.

Durbin joined local elected officials, representatives of the CTA and Loyola University, and members of the Rogers Park community at the Loyola CTA Station to announce $18.5 million – including $11 million in federal funds – to begin immediate repairs to the dilapidated Loyola CTA Station and to conduct an environmental study on the extension and modernization of the Red and Purple Lines. The design work for the Loyola CTA station project is already underway and construction is slated to begin in the spring of 2012.

Durbin, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, secured $10 million in federal funding for the project in the fiscal year 2010 Transportation and Housing Appropriations Bill, and $1 million in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act (SAFETEA-LU).

“This project is the result of a federal, state, and local public-private partnership which has brought together the Federal Transit Authority, the CTA, Loyola University, and the local community in order to make desperately needed improvements to this station and bring it back to a state of good repair. Thousands of students and commuters use this station every day, and this funding will ensure their safety and make certain that the station is able to continue serving the transportation needs of this community for years to come,” Durbin said.

At the Loyola CTA Station, the federal and local investment will help stabilize existing infrastructure, make strategic upgrades to the existing station, and redirect passenger flow for pedestrian safety. The project will include upgrades to the viaduct and improve lighting and visibility. It will also move the station entrance farther north, and create a plaza in front of the reoriented station entrance, increasing safety for pedestrians by keeping them away from vehicular traffic. Funding through the SAFETEA-LU legislation will be used for land acquisition, and roadway and pedestrian improvements around the station.

Jesse Jackson keynote speaker at youth conference

From the Press Release:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, will be among the keynote speakers at the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership World Leadership Congress July 23-30 in Chicago. HOBY is the nation’s foremost nonprofit youth leadership development organization.

Now in its 43rd year, the 2011 World Leadership Congress is expected to attract more than 400 youth ambassadors from the United States and ten different countries who will engage in leadership learning and hands-on community service projects. Rev. Jackson will address the gathering on July 27 as part of the discussion on “Leadership for Society.”

“Over the past 40 years Rev. Jackson has played a pivotal role in virtually every movement for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality, and economic and social justice,” said Javier LaFianza, president and chief executive officer of HOBY. “We are honored to have him address our students and know that his words will be inspiring and memorable for all who attend.”

As one of America’s foremost civil rights, religious and political figures, Rev. Jackson has been called the “Conscience of the Nation” and the “Great Unifier,” challenging America to be inclusive and to establish just and humane priorities for the benefit of all. He is known for bringing people together on common ground across lines of race, culture, class, gender and belief.

Throughout all, a hallmark of Reverend Jackson’s work has been his commitment to youth. He has visited thousands of high schools, colleges, universities and correctional facilities encouraging excellence, inspiring hope and challenging young people to study diligently and stay drug free.

For his work Rev. Jackson has received more than 40 honorary doctorate degrees and frequently lectures at major colleges and universities including Howard, Yale, Princeton, Morehouse, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford and Hampton. In 1984 he founded the National Rainbow Coalition, a social justice organization devoted to political empowerment, education and changing public policy. In 1996 the Rainbow Coalition and Operation PUSH merged to form the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.

Loyola Property Management

Here is the Press Release from Loyola University:

Loyola Limited, the parent company of Loyola University Chicago’s undergraduate student-run and -managed business enterprises, has launched Loyola Property Management (LPM), a real estate portfolio management firm. Established on July 1, 2011, LPM currently manages a portfolio of nearly 25 retail and residential tenants and $2.2 million in annual revenue for its one client, Loyola University Chicago.

The second business venture of Loyola Limited, LPM will offer retail and residential property-management services. The group is responsible for budgeting expenses, securing renters and collecting rent, complying with laws and regulations, and maintaining many of the investment properties owned and operated by Loyola University Chicago. Currently, LPM employs five undergraduate employees.

“By turning over the management of its retail portfolio to LPM, the University will experience a cost savings, but more importantly, it will provide an invaluable learning experience for the students involved with the business,” said Michael Bouras, president of LPM and CFO for Loyola Limited. “While the entire focus of the group will remain on our sole client, the University, there is a chance that we will expand in the future to serve non-Loyola clients.”

With its latest business enterprise, Loyola Limited looks to capitalize on the success of its inaugural business, The Flats at Loyola Station (www.loyolaflats.com). Launched in July 2010, The Flats is an upscale, luxury 10-unit guesthouse located in the heart of Rogers Park, across the street from Loyola University Chicago’s Lake Shore Campus (LSC). The group also plans to open two other businesses on the LSC this fall. ChainLinks, an on-campus, not-for-profit bike rental and repair shop, is scheduled to open in fall 2011. Felice’s Roman Style Pizza, a fast-casual Italian restaurant specializing in pizza, along with other Italian foods, is also scheduled to open this fall, likely in October.

“What these students have been able to accomplish in less than a year is remarkable,” said Michael Brosko, associate director of capital planning for the University and Loyola Limited program advisor. “These are legitimate business operations that these undergraduates are taking on, and the entrepreneurial experience they are gaining in the process will serve them positively well after they walk across the stage at graduation.”

BED BUGS WITH MRSA SUPERBUG SUPERBAD NEWS FOR CHICAGO


As if the recent resurgence of bed bugs wasn’t bad enough, Canadian researchers have found some of the little blood-sucking critters carrying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the potentially deadly superbug known as MRSA.

Added to that, the researchers also found bed bugs with vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, or VRE, another potentially deadly antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

But to make matters worse locally, a recent survey by a national pest-control company has found that Chicago is the fifth-most bed-bug-infested city in the United States.
