from the eleventh floor of the Friendship Villa residence of foreign faculty
members and students to a four-story building that stands between us and the
six-lane traffic near Shenyang Aerospace University’s south gate. We
lamented last year’s start of construction when what used to be a
grass-covered lot the size of a football field fronting our building suddenly
got the whole complement of earth movers, scoopers, bulldozers, cement mixers,
and two towering cranes that moved workloads around.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

that we would at least add plants to our window ledge and get some oxygen

stopped at the construction site over the winter allowing for the cement to
mature, and this week, the crane started moving again. Styrofoam was
laid on the rooftop covered with what we thought from a distance as black
tar. I assumed the addition would control indoor climate in insulating
the building from the six months of cold as the heat-absorbent black tar
blankets the warmth inside.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

construction that includes two five-story towers at the south gate blocks

the beaten path when we exit by foot from the dorm to the
road.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=MsoNormal><SPAN

across construction yesterday revealed that the “black tar” on the roof is
actually rich loam of soil spread over the Styrofoam to grow a rooftop lawn
and garden. WOW. Not that it should have surprised us. After all,
we are a new satellite city and planners often get extra credit for adding a
touch of urban green into their plans. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV>

tend to deteriorate fast. The dilapidating University Design Department
building two blocks west of us have byzantine features, possibly a leftover
from the days when Marushka with the <I>babushka</I> and Boris with the

the soccer field in anticipation of the athletes’ practice during August’s

prescribe in our oral English classes where students are enabled to “describe

Last week, I invited folks to go online and vote for the rooftop garden
project coordinated by a young 21-year old member of the GreenRise
Intentional Residential Community at 4750, Joseph Taylor.
I am delighted to announce that, with your help, this project won the Ford
Community Green Grant today at the Chicago Green Festival, A Project of
Green America and Global Exchange. There are similar Festivals happening in
Los Angeles (Oct 19-20), San Francisco (Nov 9-10), Washington, DC (Sept
21-22), and New York (April 19-21). The prize was for $5,000. If my
attachment is successfully transmitted, you can see a photo from the awards
ceremony. Joseph is the tall one in the middle surrounded by supporters.
On a related note, we also received notice last week that the GreenRise
Building "solar project" has been awarded a $359,000 grant from the
Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation to install renewable energy
panels on our rooftop. The building at 4750 Sheridan is becoming a VERY
high profile embodiment of "green culture" to complement our neighborhood
sustainability work across the 77 community areas of Chicago.

That is very good news!! What a wonderful example of the power of focused
collective energy. And a double hooray on winning the grant for the solar
project!!! Congratulations to the ICA staff and the body of support that enabled
these victories!

America and Global Exchange. There are similarFestivals happening in Los Angeles
(Oct 19-20), San Francisco (Nov 9-10),Washington, DC (Sept 21-22), and New York

On a related note, we also received notice last week that the GreenRise Building
"solar project" has been awarded a $359,000 grant from the Illinois Clean Energy

Congratulations one and all! We had lunch with long time colleague Ann
Antenen yesterday and she was asking whether there was a rooftop garden
yet. She will be delighted with this news.
Keep up the good work, Norm and Judy Lindblad
