Pilsen site a ‘blessing’

As the snowfall turned heav-
ier and the temperatures
dropped Tuesday night, Rene
Hernandez, 57, huddled under
four blankets he set on the
ground by the entrance to the
Dvorak Park Fieldhouse on
Chicago’s West Side.
He lay there, shaking at
times, but glad he had found a
safe and dry spot to spend the
night, he said.
Since frigid temperatures hit
Chicago, he has spent most
days in the neighborhood li-
brary taking refuge from the
cold. But at night, he has had
nowhere to go. Churches and
shelters where he found a
warm place to spend the eve-
ning in past years are no longer
open, he said.
“If someone lets me stay
somewhere warm, I can follow
any rules they have,” Hernan-
dez said in Spanish this week.
So when Diego Morales ar-
rived to ask Hernandez if he
wanted a ride to a place where
he could stay for the evening,
he was reluctant at first — but
suddenly got up, put on his
sandals and grabbed his bag.
“Let’s go please,” the man
told Morales.
Morales helped Hernandez
to a waiting car and drove him

Data shows stark divide
in vaccinations in Illinois
Demographics reveal wide disparities
along lines of race, ethnicity and age

Confirming fears of inequity in
COVID-19 vaccinations, newly
released state data shows that
Black and Hispanic Illinoisans so
far have been vaccinated at half
the rate of white residents.
And nearly three weeks after
the state opened up shots to all
senior citizens, a Tribune analysis
of vaccination and census data
shows wide variation in how
many seniors have gotten shots. A
handful of counties have gotten a
first shot into at least half of those
65 and older, but the vast majority
have not, including some where 9
in 10 seniors have yet to get a first
shot.
The state Department of Pub-
lic Health released the demo-
graphic data Friday, becoming
one of the last states to do so.
While the data offers no expla-
nation for the disparities, the
racial and ethnic divide tracks

Trump team calls demand to ‘fight’ routine speech
By Eric Tucker,
Lisa Mascaro
and Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Donald
Trump’s impeachment lawyers
accused Democrats of waging a
campaign of “hatred” against the
former president as they sped
through their defense of his ac-
tions and fiery words before the
Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S.
Capitol, hurtling the Senate
toward a final vote in his historic
trial.
The defense team vigorously
denied on Friday that Trump had
incited the deadly riot and said his
who say a higher share of Black
and Hispanic residents might
have a harder time lining up
shots, or might be wary of taking
them because of past discrimi-
nation.
“You have to put in a lot more
work in order to make this as
equal as possible,” said Afya
Khan, infection control practitio-
ner at Loretto Hospital on Chi-
cago’s Far West Side. “Our team
members have been pushing
themselves to get the word out. It
can’t be done through just an
online database.”
The Tribune’s analysis shows
that as of Friday, 11% of white
residents had gotten at least one
dose of the two-dose regimen of
vaccine shots. The same was true
of just 5% of Black residents and
4% of Hispanic residents.
For those over 65 of any race or
ethnicity, 26.9% had gotten a first
shot. Of Illinoisans ages 16 to 64,
8.8% had gotten a first shot.

vaccination site in Chicago

encouragement of followers to
“fight like hell” at a rally that
preceded it was routine political
speech. They played dozens of
out-of-context clips showing
Democrats, some of them senators
now serving as jurors, also telling
supporters to “fight,” aiming to
establish a parallel with Trump’s
overheated rhetoric.
“This is ordinarily political
rhetoric that is virtually indistin-
guishable from the language that
has been used by people across the
political spectrum for hundreds of
years,” declared Trump lawyer
Michael van der Veen. “Countless
politicians have spoken of fighting
for our principles.”
CDC: In-person
school can resume
The nation’s top public
health agency said Friday
that in-person schooling
can resume safely with
masks, social distancing
and other strategies, and
vaccination of teachers,
while important, is not a
prerequisite for
reopening.
■ The Food and Drug
Administration has
informed the drugmaker
Moderna that it can put
up to 40% more
coronavirus vaccine into
each of its vials, a simple
and potentially rapid way
to bolster strained
supplies, according to
people familiar with the
company’s operations.
■ The Pentagon has
approved the deployment
of 20 more military
vaccination teams that
will be prepared to go out
to communities around
the country, putting the
department on pace to
deploy as many as 19,000
troops if the 100 planned
teams are realized.

Illinois public health officials
said Friday that 10% of all Illinois-

the state administered a record

The milestone comes as Gov.

include those with preexisting

equity, and announced an ex-

“People with underlying condi-

Illinois Walgreens using extra doses from feds
Additional COVID-19 vaccinations not
available yet at CVS, Jewel, Walmart
By Lisa Schencker
Chicago Tribune
The federal government
is sending additional doses
of COVID-19 vaccines to
pharmacies across the
country, but in Illinois,
those doses will only be
available at Walgreens —
not CVS Health, Mariano’s,
Jewel-Osco or Walmart.
Walgreens expects to be-
gin administering the extra
doses Friday, in its Illinois
stores in medically under-
served and “socially vulner-
able” areas. Walgreens an-
ticipates initially receiving
about 39,300 doses a week,
which will be in addition to
the doses it already receives
through the Illinois De-
partment of Public Health.
Other retail pharmacy
CHICAGOLAND
chains in Illinois, including
Mariano’s, Jewel-Osco and
Walmart, are vaccinating
people, and have been for
weeks, but with doses ob-
tained through health de-
partments, not the federal
program.
The extra doses going to
Walgreens this week are
part of the new federal
retail pharmacy program,
which the Biden adminis-
tration announced last
week. Nationwide, phar-
macies expect to receive
about 1 million extra doses
this week through the pro-
gram, with the number
likely increasing over time
as vaccine supply improves.
The program begins
amid frustration in Illinois
over demand for vaccines
that far outstrips supply,
leaving many people
spending hours online try-
ing to find appointments.
Illinois is now vaccinating
people ages 65 and older
and front-line essential
workers, including teach-
ers and grocery store em-
ployees. Gov. J.B. Pritzker
also announced Wednes-
day the state will allow
people under 65 with cer-
tain health conditions to
start receiving vaccines
Feb. 25, though Chicago
and suburban Cook County
will not.
In some states, the fed-
eral program marks the
beginning of vaccine ad-
ministrations at CVS stores.
CVS stores in 11 states are
getting vaccines, but Illi-
nois is not one of them.
Kroger, which owns
Mariano’s, will get vaccines
in seven states through the
federal program, and Al-
bertson’s, which owns Jew-
el-Osco, will get them in
five states. Walmart will get
vaccines in 22 states. None
of the doses will go to stores
in Illinois.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
worked with states to select
which pharmacy chains
would receive the addi-
tional doses during this
first phase of the program.
They were selected based
on the number of stores,
ability to reach the people
most at risk of getting
severely ill with COVID-19
and alignment with a state’s
existing vaccination plan,
according to the CDC.
The Illinois Department
of Public Health did not
immediately respond to a
request Thursday for more
information about why
Walgreens was selected in
Illinois and not other phar-
macy chains.
The stores initially se-
lected for the program in
each state are just a starting
point, and eventually, their
stores in every state will
administer vaccines, ac-
cording to the CDC.
In Illinois, Walgreens,
Mariano’s, Jewel-Osco and
Walmart have been admin-
istering vaccine doses for
weeks obtained through
state and local health de-
partments. Jewel-Osco is
vaccinating at 143 of its
stores, Mariano’s at 31
stores and Walmart at
eight, according to the state
health department. Costco
is not yet vaccinating at its
Illinois stores. Walgreens
will be vaccinating at 520
stores, including 339 that
will now be receiving doses
through the federal govern-
ment.
CVS has not been giving
vaccines in its Illinois
stores, but starting Friday
plans to administer about
80,000 doses at four of its
Illinois stores outside the
Chicago area. Those doses
are not from the federal
program but were redi-
rected from long-term care
facilities after the federal
government overestimated
how many doses would be
needed in those facilities,
Pritzker has said.
Larry Lewis, CVS direc-
tor of state government
affairs, told a state Senate
committee Thursday that
CVS has been in “constant
communication” with the
governor’s office and Illi-
nois and Chicago public
health departments “as we
prepare for the rollout of
mass vaccinations as more
supply becomes available.”
In neighboring Indiana,
Kroger and Walmart will
get vaccines through the
federal program, and in
Wisconsin, vaccines will go
to Walgreens stores.

‘Kid cop’ jailed again as impersonating

sergeant, in person and on social media
Accused of making
response to calls,
pulling people over
By Paige Fry and
Rosemary Sobol
Chicago Tribune
A 26-year-old man who
has pleaded guilty three
times to impersonating a
police officer since he first
posed as a cop when he
was an eighth grader is
being held in jail again
after Chicago police say he
pretended multiple times
to be a Chicago police
sergeant on social media
and in person.
Vincent Richardson
was charged with three
counts of felony imper-
sonation of a police offi-
cer, police said. He was
also wanted on a warrant.
Cook County Judge
Arthur Wesley Willis set
bail at $75,000 during an
online bond hearing Fri-
day afternoon.
Richardson is accused
of pretending to be a Chi-
cago police sergeant three
times: on Jan. 14, Jan. 27
and Feb. 3, all in the 2300
block of West Jackson
Boulevard, in the city’s
Near West Police District.
Richardson, who was
dressed in a full police
uniform, “assisted” Chi-
cago Housing Authority
security officers during a
traffic stop at 9:30 p.m.
Feb. 3 at the Jackson Boul-
evard address, police said
in an officer safety alert
issued Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Friday
that Richardson was
known to frequent a CHA
building at 2333 W. Jack-
son Blvd., where he be-
friended several security
guards and told them he
was a Chicago police
sergeant. He wore a Chi-
cago police uniform and
appeared to carry a weap-
on with him.
One of the security
guard witnesses first met
Richardson on Jan. 8, and
said Richardson had been
wearing a Chicago police
sweater and badge and a
holster with a gun, prose-
cutors said.
On Jan. 14, Richardson
was at the CHA property
in full Chicago police
sergeant attire and told
another security guard
that he had been a police
officer for six years in the
Gresham, Englewood and
Chicago Lawn districts
and that he had been pro-
moted, prosecutors said.
The security guard later
told police about hearing
the sound of gunshots
coming from the courtyard
and reporting it over the
radio. Richardson tried to
locate the source of the
shots fired and used a
flashlight to tell cars to
slow down, which was
captured on city surveil-
lance cameras, prose-
cutors said.
On Jan. 28, Chicago po-

In 2013, Richardson pretended he

officer when he tried to buy police
equipment.
lice became aware of
someone impersonating
an officer on TikTok and
Instagram, prosecutors
said. In a TikTok video,
Richardson is seen firing a
weapon at a shooting
range.
On Feb. 3, police started
keeping watch on Rich-
ardson at his home in Lisle
and saw him leave his
home in a Chicago police
sergeant uniform, prose-
cutors said.
That day, Richardson,
who was still in the uni-
form and with a gun belt,
handcuffs and a scanner,
went to the CHA property
while driving a black Lin-
coln sedan, prosecutors
said. He pulled over a
vehicle, searched the peo-
ple inside and released
them. One of the security
guards also asked Rich-
ardson that day about his
gun — which the guard
told investigators ap-
peared to be a replica or
BB gun — and Richardson
left the area.
On Feb. 4, Richardson
contacted the security
guards and said he was
promoted to SWAT, and he
tried to sell them law
enforcement equipment,
prosecutors said. Two days

On Feb. 9, officers saw

he was arrested.

tion for possession of a

said. He also had two
previous felony convic-
tions, in 2013 and 2016, for
impersonation of a police
officer, that both resulted
in 18-month sentences.
His private defense at-
torney Jae Ku Kwon con-
firmed that Richardson
lives in Lisle and said that
his girlfriend and mother
live nearby. Richardson
also has steady employ-
ment as the fleet manager
for a third-party Amazon
contractor.
Richardson has a long
history of impersonating
the police, beginning
when he was 14. In that
incident, in 2009, he was
so convincing that he was
assigned a radio and went
on patrol with a real officer
for more than five hours
on the South Side, driving
a squad car and even mak-
ing an arrest before police
caught on.
Then-Mayor Richard
M. Daley furiously called
out police. “Where is the
desk sergeant? The field
lieutenant? The captain on
duty?” he said. In all, 14
officers, including the cap-
tain running the watch
during Richardson’s shift
and seven sergeants, were
brought up on departmen-
tal charges, according to
an Internal Affairs report
on the incident obtained
by the Tribune under a
Freedom of Information
Act request.
The report faulted su-
pervising officers for being
unaware of Richardson’s
presence, while the patrol
officers were taken to task
for not noticing he was an
impostor and not properly
notifying their superiors to
the presence of an officer
from another district.

The governor said his
administration’s decisions
to expand phase 1b eligibil-
ity to people under 65 with
preexisting conditions and
to partner with federally
qualified health centers
will help mitigate inequal-
ities.
“People with underlying
conditions are dispropor-
tionately low-income and
nonwhite,” the governor
said, adding that the eligi-
bility expansion is “the
right thing to do” for those
with comorbidities like
cancer and heart disease.
He said the state’s vacci-
nation plan further sup-
ports underserved commu-
nities through the Illinois
National Guard vaccina-
tion assistance program,
the deployment of federal
disaster teams and the
COVID -19 mitigation
awareness campaign,
which focuses “on reduc-
ing hesitancy and sharing
facts in multiple lan-
guages.”
“Already we’ve seen our
vaccinated population look
more and more like the
population of Illinois, espe-
cially since we began phase
1b,” he said. “Illinois has
one of the strongest equity
efforts of any large state in
the country but we still
have so much work to do,
there’s no doubt, to ensure
that people of color get
vaccinated.”
The Pritzker adminis-
tration also announced that
a month from now, as more
vaccine becomes available,
it will increasingly direct
shipments to clinics in
underserved areas.
And while it acknowl-
edged the vaccine inequity,
the administration argued
the problem was one af-
fecting states across the
country, and that Illinois’
figures were not as bad as
those found in other highly
populated states.

has heard the same tale of
racial inequalities in other
health crises such as diabe-
tes and the HIV/AIDS epi-
demic.
“This isn’t new,” she said.
“This isn’t a shock to me.
This is what communities
of color have bared the
brunt of since we came to
this country. If we really
want to undo this narrative,
then we have to move from
shock to action. The num-
bers are there. The ques-
tion is: What are we ready

The Rev. Emma Lozano
of Pilsen’s Lincoln United
Methodist Church was
cautiously hopeful last year
when she asked members
of her church whether they
would get the coronavirus
vaccine once it became
available. Nearly all said
yes: Many had lost loved
ones to the disease that has
disproportionately killed
Latinos in Chicago.
But that hope faded
when phase 1b opened,
making the vaccine avail-
able to people 65 or older
and front-line essential
workers. Churchgoers re-
ported struggling with

barriers and websites that

said no appointments were
available, Lozano said.
She said she’s skeptical
that vaccine hesitancy ex-
plains the disparity, as peo-
ple at her church have been
clamoring for appoint-
ments: The church is keep-
ing a list of attendees eligi-
ble to receive the vaccine
that has reached 300.
“When there’s a ration,
it’s almost like it goes to the
most important first, and
we all know where we line
up in that on that totem
pole,” Lozano said. “I just
think it’s so unfair.”
U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy”
García, who represents
heavily Hispanic neighbor-
hoods in Chicago and Cook
County, blamed the dispar-
ity on “long-standing, sys-
temic inequities … includ-
ing hospital and pharmacy
deserts, language barriers,
and fears of deportation
when seeking medical as-
sistance.”
‘Alarmingly low’
Loretto Hospital has
made a concerted effort to
promote the vaccines in the
predominantly Black com-
munity, partnering with lo-
cal clinics and other organi-
zations to build its regis-

tration list.
Given the mandate from
city and state officials to get
the shots into as many
Black and brown arms as
possible, Khan was disap-
pointed by the statewide
data.
“The percentages are
alarmingly low,” Khan said.
“The main goal was to take
care of the communities
that were hit the hardest.
This is where we, as hospi-
tals and providers, need to
step up and continue to
answer questions, listen to
concerns and find the hesi-
tancy. There’s no reason to
be scared. All we want to do
is save your life.”
Loretto schedules ap-
pointments only for people
who live, work and receive
regular medical treatment
in the city, Khan said, but
has received inquiries from
suburbanites after it ap-
peared on an online list of
Chicago hospitals with ac-
cess to the vaccine.
Dr. Marina Del Rios,
who in December became
the first Illinois resident to
receive the vaccine, be-
lieves it’s inaccurate to
blame the inequity on vac-
cine hesitancy in commu-
nities of color.
As the social emergency
medicine director at the
University of Illinois Hos-
pital, she has seen concerns
about the vaccines’ safety
ebb since December, while
the sense of frustration and
confusion over how to
schedule an appointment
has soared.
“I’ve seen my own col-
leagues make appoint-
ments for their parents and
grandparents because they
know how to work comput-
ers,” she said. “They have
the time to sit down and

County Board President
Toni Preckwinkle jointly
rejected Pritzker’s eligibili-
ty expansion due to insuffi-
cient supply for those who
are already eligible in
phase 1b.
Pritzker argued it was an
issue of equity.
“By expanding the pool
of those eligible to get a
vaccine as our supplies are
projected to increase, Illi-
nois is advancing the goals
of attaining equity, keeping
those most at risk healthy,
and reducing new cases,
hospitalizations and
death,” Pritzker said. “Al-
ready we’ve seen our vacci-
nated population look
more and more like the
population of Illinois, es-
pecially since we began
phase 1b.”
A Tribune analysis of
recently released state data
shows that so far, Black and
Hispanic residents have
been vaccinated at half the
rate of white residents.
Pritzker said vaccine
supply to support the ex-
panded pool will come
from increased weekly
shipments from the federal
government, as well as the
expected arrival of the
Johnson & Johnson vac-
cine, which is set to reach
the federal Food and Drug
Administration for poten-
tial approval Feb. 26.
In another step meant to
tackle vaccine distribution
their parents and grand-
parents. They don’t have
the time for that or even the
resources.”
William Hall, staff chap-
lain at the social services
organization UCAN, said
that beyond appointments
being scarce, people in the
South and West Side com-
munities he works in do not
have the time and re-
sources to get the shot.
To trek to a pharmacy or
clinic often requires more
time than the 30-minute
lunch break some essential
workers are given, or it
causes a gap in child care
parents cannot fill, he said.
Moreover, some residents
struggle with internet ac-
cess.
“My reaction to it is
simply this: poverty has
taken the vaccine out of
arm’s reach,” Hall said. “As
much as we are fighting to
get more quantity of the
vaccine, let’s fight this sys-
temic thing, which is pov-
erty, that’s preventing us
from getting these vac-
cines.”
The vaccination dispari-
ties are not fair to hard-hit,
majority nonwhite com-
munities, said Dolores Cas-
tañeda, a community activ-
ist in Little Village and
research associate for the
University of Illinois at
Chicago’s School of Public
Health.
“It’s not fair for us to see
the vaccine go to other
communities who really
not be in danger like us,”
said Castañeda, who said
she’s “constantly” getting
calls from residents about
sick family members or
about funerals.
She suggested ramping
up public education initia-
tives to help people under-
stand the vaccine and how
to get one, and posting

lated information in places
like laundromats, grocery
stores and churches where
inequalities, Pritzker an-
nounced that next month
Illinois will partner with
Federally Qualified Health
Centers to get more vac-
cines to those “who are
most challenged when it
comes to health care ac-
cess.”
As Illinois’ distribution
plan stands, the state re-
ceives its allocation from
the federal government
and sends supply to local
health departments, which
then apportion the vac-
cines to FQHCs, hospitals
and other vaccination sites.
The new partnership
will essentially eliminate
the middleman, with cer-
tain FQHCs receiving vac-
cines directly from the fed-
eral government starting
the second week of March.
That supply will be on top
of what the state is already
getting, the director of the
Illinois Department of
Public Health, Dr. Ngozi
Ezike, said Friday.
Ezike said the state’s
vaccine efforts continue to
focus on increasing com-
munity engagement and
vaccine education among
people of color.
“We must ensure that
the vaccine is distributed
in an equitable way,” she
said. “That’s equitable with
respect to our seniors, with
respect to geography and
of course with respect to
race and ethnicity.”
Pritzker and Ezike con-
tinued to urge patience in
securing vaccine appoint-
ments.
“We’re asking people for
that dreadful word, we still
have to say it: patience,”
residents are more likely to
see them.
Jorge Mújica, an organ-
izer at workers-rights or-
ganization Arise Chicago,
suggested that a multi-
language call center or ra-
dio-based information
campaigns in multiple lan-
guages could make infor-
mation more accessible to
those who don’t have good
internet access or don’t
speak English.
But most accessible,
Mújica said, would be on-
site workplace vaccination.
“Don’t wait for them to
go to a vaccination center,”
he said.
Success and
failure
Peoria County is a study
in the complexities of vac-
cine distribution.
On one hand, 75% of
those 65 and older have
received their first vaccina-
tions — the highest per-
centage in the state. On the
other, it is seeing extreme
racial disparities, with 25%
of white residents vacci-
nated compared with 8% of
Black residents and 6% of
Hispanic residents.
Monica Hendrickson,
public health administrator
of the Peoria City/County
Health Department, said
Heartland Health Services,
a federally qualified health
clinic, has been reaching
out to people who may not
have a primary care doctor
or who haven’t received
health care recently.
The health department
also has a strike team with
paramedics to give injec-
tions at housing complexes
for seniors, low-income
people and the disabled.
As for the counties
where few seniors have
been vaccinated, AARP Illi-
nois told the state Senate
Thursday that the current
sign-up process is poor,
with freezing websites,
long waits on hold and
waiting lists that don’t
specify when someone will
be called.
“Overall, Illinois distri-
bution of the COVID-19
vaccine has been marked
by unpredictable amounts
of vaccine delivered, shift-
ing eligibility criteria, vary-
ing and confusing distribu-
tion plans across counties,
and online registration sys-
tems that confound even
those who are computer
literate and leave behind
those without internet ac-
cess,” the group wrote in
submitted testimony.
“The situation has led to
frustration, confusion, and
anxiety for many. It is time
to stop pointing fingers of
blame and work together to
remove the barriers that
exist so that all individuals
and families can access the
vaccine regardless of age,
income, race and ethnicity.”
Chicago Tribune’s Dan Pet-
rella and Aurora Beacon-
News reporter Sarah Freish-
tat contributed.
Ezike said.
“I am wishing everyone
a happy Valentine’s Day
weekend,” Ezike added.
“In that spirit, please re-
member, let’s spread love
and not COVID.”
With Illinois adminis-
tering a record 95,375 vac-
cinations Thursday, the
state total rose to 1,644,483.
The number of Illinois
residents who have been
fully vaccinated — receiv-
ing both of the required
two shots — reached
374,722, or 2.94% of the
state population.
Over the past seven days,
the state averaged 59,009
vaccines administered
daily. One week ago, that
number was 49,082.
The state on Friday re-
ported 2,598 new con-
firmed and probable cases
of COVID-19 and 32 addi-
tional fatalities. The total
number of known infec-
tions in Illinois is 1,158,431,
and the statewide death
toll is 19,873.
The seven-day state-
wide positivity rate for
cases as a share of total
tests was 3.1% as of Thurs-
day, reaching its lowest
level since the week ending
July 19, when the rate was
3.0%. Friday’s new cases
resulted from 103,009
tests.
As of Wednesday night,
1,915 people in Illinois
were hospitalized with
COVID-19, with 437 pa-
tients in intensive care
units and 211 patients on

COVID-19 vaccination event
By Steve Sadin
For News-Sun
Louis Walker and his
wife, of Waukegan, lived in
fear of getting COVID-19
again after contracting the
disease on March 4 and
experiencing only mild
symptoms.
Now he is less con-
cerned.
Walker was one of ap-
proximately 1,200 people
vaccinated Thursday to
stop the spread of the
coronavirus pandemic dur-
ing a mass vaccination
event at Cristo Rey St.
Martin College Prep in
Waukegan run by Jewel-
Osco.
All vaccinations were by
appointment through Jew-
el.
“This was so important
after living through if be-
fore,” said Walker, who at
67 is part of a priority group
now receiving shots. “For
me, it wasn’t bad. My wife
had a problem smelling. We
both tested positive in the
beginning.”
After vaccinating health
care workers starting in
December, classified as
group 1a by the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention, Illinois has moved
into inoculating group 1b,
consisting of front line es-
sential workers and people
over 65.
The partnership be-
tween Cristo Rey and Jewel
came together quickly.
School President Preston
Kendall said he was looking
for a way to do something
good for the community
since the campus opened
its expanded space at a time
only a quarter of the stu-
dent body was there at any
one time.
The school has been in

Kendall reached out to
Jewel to see if it needed a

ple against the disease. His
timing was right. Jim Bolin,

Park Ridge residents ask city to
require sidewalks be cleared of snow
By Jennifer Johnson
Pioneer Press
Complaints about Park
Ridge businesses failing to
clear snow and ice from
their sidewalks have
elected officials agreeing to
again discuss the issue,
though it will not be a
priority, the chairman of
the council’s procedures
and regulations committee
said this month.
Residents Tricia
Williams and Carolyn Ford
sent letters to the City
Council, voicing concerns
that uncleared sidewalks in
commercial areas are un-
safe for pedestrians, some-
times forcing them to walk
in the street in order to get
to their destination.
Both letters noted that
the city does not have a
local law requiring proper-
ty owners to clear snow
from their sidewalks. The
residents asked the City
Council to consider such a
requirement.
Ford, speaking to elected
officials during an online
meeting Monday, said the
city already has ordinances
requiring lawns to be
mowed and properties to be
maintained, and she ques-
north on the Stevenson
when it hit a concrete wall
on the northbound side of
the expressway, then went
over a concrete median,
according to preliminary
information released by
Trooper Omoayena
Williams, a state police
spokesman. The car then
fell off the interstate and
hit a light pole before
stopping at Archer Avenue
and Robinson Street.
The car plunged about
43 feet down and came to a
rest on a grassy area along
Archer, Williams said.
A 27-year-old man and a
22-year-old woman were
killed, state police said.
Two others were taken to
Stroger Hospital in critical
condition, according to the
had a week to find a site
after learning it was getting
a shipment of the Pfizer
vaccine from the state.
“We wanted a place in
Waukegan because of how
hard it’s been impacted by
the disease,” Bolin said.
“We know this community
very well. Once we knew
we had the doses, we
looked for a place and the
school offered.”
With less than week to
put a plan together, Kendall
said Jewel provided the
vaccine and the technicians
to administer it. The school
handled the logistics from
the time recipients arrived
at the building until they
left. Teachers, students and
staff all volunteered to help.
“We’re all about commu-
nity service,” Kendall said.
“We challenge our students
to say what they believe.
How you live that out is
important. There is noth-
ing more important we can
do for the community than
try to help end the pan-
demic.”
With more vaccine com-
ing, Cristo Rey is hosting
another event with Jewel
Tuesday. This time,
Kendall had a hand in
selecting a few of the re-
cipients. As he developed
plans for the vaccinations,
he contacted the Waukegan
Fire Department for assist-
ance if there was a need for
paramedics.
“I found out none of
them were vaccinated yet,”
he said. “They’re going to
be part of the next group
Tuesday.”
Reports of people in
group 1b seeking vaccina-
tions, but unable to sched-
ule them because few ap-
pointments were available
at pharmacies like Jewel-
Osco and Walgreens, have
been prevalent.
Kathy Sheppard and her
husband John of Lake Bluff
are no longer part of the
group.
“A friend called me
(Tuesday) and told me to
get on the Jewel website
tioned why similar rules
cannot be passed to ensure
that public sidewalks are
clear following a snowfall.
“Other towns have this,”
Ford said. “I don’t see how
it would be hard to figure
out.”
Williams said she has
encountered snow-covered
sidewalks outside busi-
nesses along a stretch of
Busse Highway and had to
walk in the street because
the area was inaccessible.
“My big concern is that
businesses don’t clear the
sidewalks and it’s not safe
for pedestrians — especially
in my area where there are
pedestrians who use public
transportation, like the Dee
Road Metra station and the
Pace bus,” she said.
Previous city councils
have discussed what to do
about property owners who
fail to clear their sidewalks
of snow, but aldermen have
always stopped short of
implementing a local law or
policy.
In 2009, an ordinance
was drafted requiring snow
and ice to be cleared from
public sidewalks abutting
businesses in the city
within 24 hours of accumu-
lation of 2 inches or more.

CDC: In-person school can resume
New guidance shows
shots in teachers are
not a prerequisite
By Collin Binkley
and Mike Stobbe

The nation’s top public
health agency said Friday
that in-person schooling can
resume safely with masks,
social distancing and other
strategies,andvaccinationof

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
released its long-awaited
roadmapforgettingstudents

middle of a pandemic that

people in the U.S. But the
agency’s guidance cannot
force schools to reopen, and
CDC officials were careful to
say they are not calling for a
mandate that all U.S. schools
be reopened.
Officials said there is
strong evidence now that
schools can reopen, espe-
cially at lower grade levels.
The new guidance
includes many of the same
measures previously backed
by the CDC, but suggests
them more forcefully. It
emphasizes that all of the
recommendations must
be implemented strictly
and consistently to keep
school safe. It also provides

WASHINGTON — The

maker Moderna that it can
put up to 40% more corona-

vials,asimpleandpotentially

While federal officials
want Moderna to submit

hopeful sign that the nation’s
vaccine stock could increase
faster than expected, simply
by allowing the company to

Two people familiar with
Moderna’s manufacturing,
who spoke on the condition
of anonymity, said retool-
ing the company’s produc-
tion lines to accommodate
the change could conceiv-
ably be done in fewer than 10
weeks. That is because while
the amount of liquid in each
vial would change, the vials

“It would be a great step

administration’s vaccine
development program.
Last month, Moderna
asked for permission to
increasethenumberofdoses
in its vials to as much as 15

“We’ve used stronger

“And I can assure you that
this is free from political

Slaoui cautioned that
Moderna might still have to
gear up its drug production
so it had more vaccine to fill
the vials. “Whether it will be
40% increase immediately
or a 20% increase at first”
is unclear, he said. Another
outside expert said the FDA
might require an on site
inspection of the company’s
manufacturing process if it
changes.
In a recent email response
to questions about the
company’s discussions with
regulators, Stephane Bancel,
the chief executive offi-
cer of Moderna, wrote, “No

company’s spokesman, said
talks with federal officials
were continuing.
On Thursday, President
Joe Biden announced that
the federal government
had locked in a total of 600

Moderna and Pfizer, which
developed its drug with
a German partner, BioN-

requires two doses, spaced
three to four weeks apart,
that would be enough to

Pentagon OKs 20 more COVID-19 shot teams
By Lolita C. Baldor
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Pentagon has approved the
deployment of 20 more mili-
tary vaccination teams that
will be prepared to go out
to communities around the
country, putting the depart-
ment on pace to deploy as
many as 19,000 troops if the
100 planned teams are real-
ized.
The troop number is
almost double what federal
authorities initially thought
enough to return.
The new guidance was
embraced by both sides of
the debate, with each saying
it bolstered their position.
House Minority Leader
Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.,
said it’s further evidence
that schools are equipped to
reopen now.
The new information
“affirms what many of us,
including students and
parents, have known for
months: It is critical for
schools to open as safely and
as soon as possible,” he said.
Becky Pringle, president
of the National Education
Association, applauded the
guidance but said schools
are failing to meet it. Most

next month, a significantly
more contagious variant
of the virus could become
dominant. Another vari-
ant that appears to weaken
the protection of existing
vaccines has also shown up
in the United States.
Biden said that the nation
would not be able to vacci-
nateallAmericansbytheend
of the summer, citing “gigan-
tic” logistical challenges. He
blamed the Trump admin-
istration for not creating a
better system to administer
shots. But that argument will
wear thinner as his time in
office continues.
So far, about 10% of Amer-
icans have received at least
one dose of vaccine. Pfizer
has delivered about 52% of
the nation’s supply while
would be needed.
Chief Pentagon spokes-
man John Kirby said
Friday that Defense Secre-
tary Lloyd Austin’s latest
approval brings the number
of COVID-19 vaccination
teams so far authorized to
25, with a total of roughly
4,700 service members.

So far, only one of the first
five teams approved last
week has been announced
and deployed. That 222-

Carson, Colorado, has
arrived in Los Angeles,
where it will help with a
federal vaccination site at
California State University.
Kirby said that the depart-
ment expects to have more
details soon on where the
other four will deploy.
The Pentagon first
received the original request
from FEMA in late January,
urged local officials to assess
whether a bad outbreak is
occurring in a community
when making decisions
about sending adults and
children into schools.
The guidance included a
color-coded chart, from blue
to red, on assessing commu-
nityspread,includingratesof

and the percentage of posi-
tive tests.
That said, high commu-
nity transmission does not
necessarily mean schools
cannot be open — especially
thoseattheelementarylevel.
Ifschoolmitigationmeasures
are strictly followed, the
risk of spread in the schools
should still be low, the guid-
ance suggests.
The document suggests
that when things get risky,
elementary schools can go

days, but that middle and

NEWS BRIEFING
Biden aide suspended
after threat to female
reporter over story
From news services
WASHINGTON — White
House deputy press secre-
tary T.J. Ducklo has been
suspended for a week with-
out pay after he reportedly
issued a sexist and profane
threat to a journalist seek-
ing to cover his relationship
with another reporter.
White House press secre-
tary Jen Psaki said Friday
that Ducklo’s conduct was
“completely unacceptable.”
Psaki said while she had not
spoken about the incident
with President Joe Biden,
Ducklo and aides “at the
highest levels” of the White
House’s communications
team had apologized for the
incident.
“No one wants anyone to
feel uncomfortable, to be put
in an uncomfortable posi-
tion,” Psaki said.
Psaki said in a statement
earlier Friday that Ducklo
had been suspended with-
out pay with the approval of
White House chief of staff
Ron Klain. She said Ducklo
“is the first to acknowledge
this is not the standard of
behavior set out” by Biden,
and that Ducklo had sent
the reporter in question “a
personal note professing his
profound regret.”
Ducklo’s personal life
came under scrutiny this
week when Politico reported
on his relationship with a
reporter for the news outlet
Axios who was assigned to
cover the Biden campaign
and its transition.
On Friday, Vanity Fair
published a report citing
two unnamed sources that
Ducklo had threatened the
Politico reporter to try to
suppress the story, telling
her “I will destroy you.”

New York Gov. Andrew
Cuomo’s top aide told
Democratic lawmakers
that the administration
took months to release data

Justice Brett Kavana-
ugh, one of three justices
who said they would have
let Smith’s execution go
forward, said Alabama’s
policy applies equally to all
inmates and serves a state
interest in ensuring safety
and security. But he said
it was apparent that his
colleagues who disagreed
were providing a path for
states to follow.
States that want to avoid
months or years of litiga-
tion over the presence of
spiritual advisers “should
figure out a way to allow
spiritual advisors into the
execution room, as other
States and the Federal
Government have done,” he
wrote in a dissent joined by
Chief Justice John Roberts.
Justice Clarence Thomas
also would have allowed
the execution of Smith, who
was sentenced to die for the
1991 murder of 22-year-old
Sharma Ruth Johnson in
Birmingham.
Alabama had up until
2019 allowed a Christian
prison chaplain employed
by the state to be physi-
cally present in the execu-
tion chamber if requested
by the inmate, but the

“froze” over worries the

Republicans who term

a “cover-up” are now call-
ing for investigations into
and the resignations of both
Cuomo and the aide, secre-
tary to the governor Melissa
DeRosa. And a growing
number of Democrats are
joining calls to rescind
Cuomo’s emergency exec-
utive powers, blasting the
administration’s defense of
its secrecy.
The disclosure of DeRo-
sa’s comments, made on a
Wednesday conference call
with Democratic legislative
leaders, came as the Demo-
cratic governor and his
administration were already
facing backlash over their
handling and reporting of
outbreaks in nursing homes.
Assange extradition: Pres-
ident Joe Biden’s adminis-
tration plans to continue to
seek to extradite WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange

Justice Department
spokesman Marc Raimondi
on Tuesday said the U.S.
government will continue
to challenge a British
judge’s ruling last month
that Assange should not be
extradited to the United
States because of the risk he
would commit suicide.
In a Jan. 4 ruling, the
judge, Vanessa Baraitser,
said, “I find that the mental
condition of Mr. Assange is
such that it would be oppres-
sive to extradite him to the
United States of America.”

in response to two earlier
Supreme Court cases.
For most of the modern
history of the U.S. death
penalty since the 1970s,
spiritual advisers have not
been present in execution
chambers, said Robert
Dunham, the execu-
tive director of the Death
Penalty Information Center.
The court’s order in
Smith’s case contained only
statements from Kavanaugh
and Justice Elena Kagan.
“ Wi l l i e S m i t h i s

his last wish is to have his
pastor with him as he dies,”
Kagan wrote for herself and
liberal justices Sonia Soto-
mayor and Stephen Breyer,
as well as conservative Amy
Coney Barrett. “Alabama
has not carried its burden
of showing that the exclu-
sion of all clergy members
from the execution cham-
ber is necessary to ensure
prison security.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch and
Justice Samuel Alito did not
make public their views, but
at least one or perhaps both
of them must have voted
with their liberal colleagues
to keep Smith’s execution
on hold.

Kathleen Styles, the
Census Bureau’s chief of

Biden to slowly allow 25K
seeking asylum to enter US
By Elliot Spagat
Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — The Biden
administration on Friday
announced plans for tens
of thousands of people who
are seeking asylum and
have been forced to wait in
Mexico under a Trump-era
policy to be allowed into the
U.S. while their cases wind
throughimmigrationcourts.
The first wave of an esti-
mated 25,000 asylum-seek-
ers with active cases in
the “Remain in Mexico”
program will be allowed
into the United States Feb.
19, authorities said. They
plan to start slowly, with
two border crossings each
processing up to 300 people
a day and a third cross-
ing taking fewer numbers.
Officials with President
Joe Biden’s administration
declined to name them out
of fear they may encourage
a rush of people.
The move is a major
step toward dismantling
one of former President
Donald Trump’s most
consequential policies to
deter asylum-seekers from
coming to the U.S. About
70,000asylum-seekerswere
enrolled in the program offi-
cially called Migrant Protec-
tion Protocols since it was
introduced in January 2019.
On Biden’s first day in
office, the Homeland Secu-
rity Department suspended
the policy for new arriv-
als. Since then, some
asylum-seekers picked up
at the border have been
released in the U.S. with
notices to appear in court.
Biden is making good on
a campaign promise to end
the policy, which the Trump
administration said was crit-
ical to reversing a surge of
asylum-seekers that peaked
in 2019. But the policy also
exposed people to violence
in Mexican border cities and
made it extremely difficult
for them to find lawyers and
communicate with courts
about their cases.

impact will be to compress
the window during which
lawyers can challenge bad

Homeland Security said
the move “should not be
interpreted as an opening

ularly to the United States.”
Administration officials say
the vast majority of people
who cross the border ille-
gally are quickly expelled
under a public health order
that Trump put in place in
March amid the corona-
virus pandemic. But some
asylum-seeking families
have been released in Texas
and California, working
against that messaging.

Friday accepted the Italian
president’s bid to form a new
government, announcing a
Cabinet of experts mixed
with experienced political
hands, at once seeking to
reassure financial markets
and tame a potentially
unruly coalition of former
rivals.
The formation of a
broad-based government of
national unity was widely
expected after most politi-

for Draghi. Italy is at a criti-

Draghi also submit-

Sergio Mattarella, who has
the job of officially naming
them. The new government
will be sworn in Saturday,
followed by votes of confi-
dence in both houses of
Parliament, expected early
next week.

UK court: Nigerians are allowed to sue Shell 3 Fox News hosts
By Stanley Reed
The New York Times
LONDON — Britain’s
Supreme Court said Friday
that a group of about 50,000
Nigerian farmers and fish-
ermen could bring a case in
London’s High Court
against Royal Dutch Shell
over years of oil spills in the
Niger Delta that have pol-
luted their land, wells and
waterways.
The judges said there was
the potential that a parent

Co. of Nigeria, which op-

The court overruled a
lower court that had said
that there was no case to be
brought against Shell in
Britain. On Friday, the
judges said there was “a real
issue to be tried.”
The ruling is “a water-
shed moment in the ac-

director says no demolition is planned at mall lawyers Rudolph Giuliani

By Jennifer Johnson
Pioneer Press
A new anchor tenant is
coming to Golf Mill Shop-
ping Center in Niles as the
village’s economic director
downplayed speculation
that demolition is planned
for portions of the mall.
John Melaniphy, Niles di-
rector of economic devel-
opment, said Burlington, a
national retailer, has signed
a lease for the former Kohl’s
space at Golf Mill. The
village is working with the
company on building per-
mits, he said.
Kohl’s closed in October
and relocated to Morton
Grove’s Sawmill Station
shopping center at Demp-
ster Street and Waukegan
Road.
It is unclear when Bur-
lington may open at Golf
Mill and it is also unclear
what the opening will mean
for the Burlington store at
2614 W. Golf Road in Glen-
view’s Talisman Center,
which is located just one
mile east. Messages left with
Burlington media personnel
were not returned.

said.
There are no other con-
struction or demolition
plans at the mall itself,
Melaniphy said.
“No, absolutely none,” he
said, responding to a local
news report that the village
and Golf Mill ownership
have discussed “possible
demolition” at the center,
which consists of a number
of vacant stores.
Melaniphy acknowl-
edged that enclosed malls
around the country are look-
ing at alternatives for the
future and some, like
Hawthorn Mall in Vernon
Hills, have torn down sec-
tions in order to incorporate
new development.
There have been a “vari-
ety” of potential redevelop-
ment options discussed for
Golf Mill, including ones
that would require demoli-
tion, but nothing concrete
has been decided, Melan-
iphy said.
“It’s an idea, and they
could change the mall con-
siderably, but no decision
has been made,” he said.

COVID-19 through eyes of ... a dog
By Kim Selting
I have to admit, this whole quarantine
thing hasn’t been so bad for my lot. Shelter
adoption rates are up which means that my
friends are finding homes, and I’ve seen so
much more of my own family. We’ve never
taken so many walks together, and I can
always find someone to snuggle or play
with or to touch.
I don’t mind seeing the same people
each day. In fact, I prefer it. But I know that
my people are not used to this finite world
of interactions, though sometimes I think
that my people secretly envy my limited
sphere of relationships. They do seem
endlessly fascinated with my shenanigans,
and I’ve had more than my 15 minutes of
fame on social media.
This year, we dogs have been entrusted
with a very important mission: to help our
two-legged friends navigate this pandemic.
We’ve always been there, and are answer-
ing our call to duty even more these days.
When I hear my family talking about a
loved one who is ill with COVID and who
requires hospitalization, I realize that it
must be difficult right now to be a patient.
Humans are faced with a frightening, life-
threatening disease, and they often can’t
have more than one family member with
them to hear what the doctor is saying. I’m
used to having someone else speak for me.
There is always at least one advocate with
me when I go to the veterinary hospital.
These days much of the decision-mak-
Effects of mob mentality
Mob mentality is defined as “a large
and disorderly crowd of people, usually
bent on riotous or destructive action.” It
is a scary term in and of itself.
Assuming most of the people who
besieged the Capitol on Jan. 6 were ev-
eryday Americans with families and jobs,
what would lead them to write this awful
chapter in our history? It is because a
surging, destructive group is capable of
eradicating a person’s sense of right and
wrong, of convincing a person that the
group is brave and the mission honorable,
and of deceiving followers into thinking
they are free of guilt and retribution.
In numbers, there is strength, but also
the very important aspect of anonymity.
The world has seen mob mentality and
riotous behavior from probably the be-
ginning of human history and in every
part of the globe. One of the most time-
less examples of mob action and mob

resonates to this day: Crucify him, crucify
him.

Finding unity
in neighborly love
For the past couple of years, oligarchs
on the right and anarchists on the left
have turned father against mother,
brother against sister, child against par-
ent, neighbor against neighbor, and
Christian against Christ.
It seems the majority of Republicans
now consider Democrats “enemies”
rather than “political opposition,” and
vice versa for a large portion of Demo-
crats, according to a CBS poll.
Neither the rich nor the lawless can
win this fight on the basis of right or
education or law, so they must club their
enemies with propaganda, interest rates,
private armies and sedition.
Is there any way Americans can learn
to love their neighbors once again?

Hit them in campaign chest Further reason to convict
Watching the second impeachment
trial of Donald Trump, it’s hard not to feel
powerless. This is not a trial being held in
a court of law. Senators are not being held
to legal standards or precedent. This is a
political event, which despite all evi-
dence presented, is not likely to end in a
fair or just verdict.
No political party, especially in these
divisive times, will ever convict its own.
Senators are wary of upsetting Trump’s
political base, so many have set a record
of disagreement over whether the trial
should be happening at all and are hiding
their cowardice and self-interest behind
process arguments.
These senators will not be convinced
by evidence or argument; they knew how
they would vote before the trial even
began.
So what will these senators listen to?
Base constituents and big-money donors.
Corporate CEOs must inform these
senators that no accountability means no

A number of Republican senators fear to
vote to convict Donald Trump for incite-

and Democrats, to vote “guilty.”

Many seniors are unable to get vacci-

alone and at the opposite end of the state
wants to have social interaction. Expand-
ing vaccination coverage for inclusion
purposes seems counterproductive when
you are reducing accessibility to those
who have been touted as the most vulner-
able population. I cannot help but won-

his pledge to not jump the line to get

And poof! Now he does!

I wish I could tell my family to take care

They keep track of my medications, know

with peanut butter or cheese or sausage. I
guess if I was a human, I would have to do
that for myself. You know, if I had thumbs.
If ever there was a lesson we dogs could

GROWING UP
HENSON
Brian Henson of the Jim Henson Co. is seen at the Jim Henson Creature Shop on Jan. 28 in Burbank, California.
Muppets creator’s
son Brian carrying
on his dad’s legacy
By Robert Lloyd
Los Angeles Times
The Jim Henson Co. is having a
busy pandemic.
Ten new episodes of the Dis-
ney Plus series “Earth to Ned,” a
semi-improvised talk show
hosted by a big puppet alien —
and one of this writer’s favorite
series of 2020 — launched in
January. As of last week, Disney
Plus also hosts Henson’s prehis-
toric, satiric family sitcom from
the early 1990s, “Dinosaurs,” a
sort of puppet Flintstones minus
the humans, with all five seasons
of “The Muppet Show,” the foun-
dation of modern Muppet my-
thology, following Feb. 19. (Disney
has owned the “Muppet Show”
Muppets since 2004.)
Meanwhile, there are new

from Apple TV Plus and an up-
CHARLENE GEHM 1951-2021
Dancer thrilled audiences and critics
By Anna Kisselgoff
The New York Times
Charlene Gehm, a dancer who
thrilled audiences and critics
alike with her excellence in an
unusually wide range of roles
with the Joffrey Ballet and other
troupes, died Jan. 10 at her home
in Manhattan. She was 69.
Her husband, Gary MacDou-
gal, said the cause was cancer.
Audiences who saw Gehm
perform in the Joffrey from 1976
through 1991, when it was based
in New York (it is now in Chi-
cago), knew she could give as
good as she got while being
yanked, dragged and thrown
around in the combative, knock-
down duets of William Forsythe’s
“Love Songs.”
By contrast, she was an expert
in stillness, minimalism and ar-
chaic-profile poses when paired
with Rudolf Nureyev, as guest
artist, in the Joffrey’s 1979 land-
mark revival of Vaslav Nijinsky’s
“L’Apres-Midi d’un Faune.” He
was the mythical fawn, and she
was the marvelously deadpan
nymph who aroused him.
In “Les Patineurs,” by English
choreographer Frederick Ashton,
Gehm could show off her strong
classical technique; in his “Wed-
ding Bouquet,” her gifts as a witty
comedienne were on display. As
Jennifer Dunning wrote in The
New York Times, Gehm’s per-
formance as a tipsy wedding
guest could make one laugh even
while appreciating its “subtlety,
grace and a touch of the bitter-
sweet.”
Earlier, in the 1970s, as a mem-
ber of the National Ballet in
Washington, she danced in a
variety of other works, including
George Balanchine’s ballets, a
coming Discovery Plus cooking-
for-kids show, “Duff’s Happy Fun
Bake Time,” featuring celebrity
pastry chef Duff Goldman and
puppet friends. And another
strand of the Henson legacy is
examined in a new documentary,
“Street Gang: How We Got To
Sesame Street.”
After the death of Jim Henson
in 1990, the company remained
very much a family affair: Brian
Henson is its chairman; sister Lisa
is CEO and president; and sister
Cheryl is the president of the
grant-dispensing Jim Henson
Foundation.
Perhaps the most telling thing I
can say about Brian is that in the
course of a recent 45-minute
conversation over videoconfer-
ence, to talk about “Ned” and
growing up Henson, he used the
word “delight” or “delightful” no
less than 11 times.
Q: One surprising thing
about “Earth to Ned” is how
well it works as an actual talk
show.
A: I like to say that when we at
production of “The Sleeping
Beauty” and a version of “Cinder-
ella” choreographed by Ben
Stevenson, her early mentor.
Along the way, Jerome Robbins,
who had seen her in his works for
ballet companies, hired her to
perform in the 1980 Broadway
revival of his musical “West Side
Story.”
For all her success in different
styles, Gehm (pronounced with a
hard G) had her own distinctive
stage presence. A willowy blonde,
she was, in Stevenson’s words,
“gorgeous,” carrying herself “not
like Marilyn Monroe but Grace
Kelly.” For Stevenson, Gehm’s
versatility was a perfect fit for the
new, small American troupes of
the 1960s and ’70s.
As co-director of the Washing-
ton Ballet with Frederic Franklin,
Stevenson needed dancers “who
could do everything,” he said in a
phone interview, adding, “I had
only 28 dancers.”
Gehm was “very valuable, and
choreographers always wanted to
use her in the new ballets,” he
said. “She was a good classical
dancer with a secure technique
and beautiful line, a soloist rather
than a prima ballerina. She had a
very positive personality.”
Denise Charlene Gehm was
born Dec. 14, 1951, in Miami to
Verna Mae (Wiley) Gehm and
Charles William Gehm. Her
mother was a waitress who be-
came a caterer, and her father was
a high school chemistry teacher.
Their older daughter, Jeannie,
died at 18 in a car accident in 1962.
At age 6 Charlene was enrolled
locally by her mother in the Mari-
on Lorraine Dance School, which
taught different genres. By the
time she was 8, a booking agent
had arranged for Charlene to

the Henson company pitch a
show, there’s always some aspect
we have no idea if it’s possible.
We’ve always believed a normal
Muppet-style hand puppet can
handle an improvising environ-
ment, but with animatronics
there are multiple performers
integral to the performance.
Ned has six puppeteers: one
voicing and operating the mouth,
one operating the rest of the face,
which is like 30 or 40 motors.
Then there’s a puppeteer inside
working the body and the head
position. And then there are three
doing the hands.
And the rule in our company is
that that kind of character cannot
improvise and shouldn’t ever do
talk show appearances and stuff
like that. We were promising
basically the thing we had ruled
impossible.
We had to program into Ned’s
personality that he’s a little bit out
of control. We said, “If he were a
person, he’d be one of those peo-
ple that if you had him over for
dinner, you wouldn’t put any stem
wine glasses near him.” And the
perform in evening shows at
Miami’s tourist hotels. Her
mother made costumes for her
acrobatic routines, and her father
created the props. In one act, she
was a sea urchin arising from a
shell; in another, she was a jockey
on a horse jumping over small
hurdles. The music came from
her mother’s record player.
Charlene also studied ballet
with nationally known teachers
Georges Milenoff and Thomas
Armour. Awarded a scholarship
to the Harkness Ballet School in
New York, she began her profes-
sional career in 1969 with the
Harkness Youth Dancers, di-
rected by Stevenson. Funded by a
patron, Rebekah Harkness, the
troupe was transformed into the
Harkness Ballet.
In 1971 Gehm followed Steven-
son to the National Ballet, which
closed in 1974. Gehm spent that
year with the Chicago Ballet,
where Stevenson was briefly
co-director with Ruth Page. After
appearing with the Ballet de
Caracas in 1975, she joined the
Joffrey.
She married MacDougal in
1992. A business executive, he
was a general director of the New
York City Ballet, active in the
Republican Party in Illinois and
appointed to various posts by
President George Bush, including
as a U.S. delegate to the United
Nations. They also had a home in
Chicago.
In addition to her husband,
Gehm’s survivors include her
stepsons, Gary MacDougal Jr. and
Michael MacDougal.
After retiring from the Joffrey
Ballet in 1991, Gehm received a
bachelor’s degree in arts adminis-
tration from New York University.

guests really enjoyed being in that
situation.
Q: Is there a Henson way of
doing things that puppeteers
need to learn from you or are
these techniques now uni-
versal?
A: There is something very
different about our fundamental
approach to puppetry. It requires
a camera and it requires the pup-
peteer to see what the camera is
seeing; to get really good, you
need to be able to convince the
camera that the character is
thinking. And the audience will
even say, “Oh my God, that pup-
pet was expressive” when the
puppet has no expression.
The top hurdle, particularly
once you start improvising, is
when you bring a puppet to life
on a screen and completely forget
about your own arm. It’s the
opposite of method acting. The
really good improvising puppet-
eers get to a place where they can
almost be entertained by the
puppet they’re working because
they’re not even aware they’re

making the choices. You’re trying
almost to bypass your critical
mind and go straight from your
unconscious to the character.
Q: One of the remarkable
things about puppets is the way
they bring people — whether
children in a living room or
adult showbiz professionals on
“Ned” — into their reality.
A: There is something inher-
ently delightful when you breathe
life into an inanimate object. And
often, the more inanimate the
object, the more hilarious it’s
going to be — you know, if sud-
denly the stapler has got attitude
[picking up a stapler], “Are you
kidding. You’re gonna hit my head
again?”
It’s a great way to connect with
somebody in an inherently de-
lightful way not burdened with
anger or baggage or attitude or
judgment. Once you start playing
with puppets you’re pulling all the
scarier parts of social interaction
out of the mix; instead, you’re in
this delightful playtime. But I
think with puppetry, part of it is
the audience knows that it’s not
alive and delights in the character
even more because of that.
Q: When you were growing
up in a house of puppeteers, did
puppets seem like creatures or
tools?
A: They seemed normal. It took
me until I was about 10 years old
to realize that I was in the circus
family in the neighborhood. My
dad was super hard-working. And
my mother [Jane Henson] created
the Muppets with my father, so a
lot of their discussion was around
the Muppets. So I had a ton of
respect and reverence for the
puppetry. It was his work, it was
his art, and he took it very
seriously.
Did I have a relationship with
the characters as if they were my
brothers and sisters? No, I cer-
tainly didn’t. Did I love and appre-
ciate when my dad would put on
Kermit the Frog and perform?
Absolutely, but to me it was my
dad.
Q: Was there puppeteering at
home? Did your father ever put
on a puppet and play with you,
or was that something sepa-
rate?
A: Well not often, although my
dad did everything with sound
effects. And sure, if there was a
funny opportunity to tell us what
he thought the dog was thinking
and to reach down and sort of
articulate the dog and give him a
bit of a voice, he would certainly
do that. It was just in his nature.
But he was working so much that
he wasn’t trying to do it again at
home.

don’t want this great young
couple getting unneces-
sary questions.
It’s not as if I bang on
about how marvelous they
are together. As with my
other child and grandchild,
I give updates as part of the
normal topic that is asked
about each other’s family
in a chat.
My friends are likely
posing what they perceive
as normal questions, but
it does rub a raw wound.
My spouse and I waited
four years for a longed-for

ing, “When do you plan

comments.

my friends in the American

to politely shut down just
about any query.

aren’t you sweet?”
That’s it! Then you
change the subject.
Otherwise, you could
assume that these folks are
really wondering what you
think of your daughter’s
guy. And so you can say,
“Well, we really like him.
They’re a lovely couple.
Whatever they choose to
do is fine with us.”
Dear Amy: “Seething
Sister” had a brother who
continued to “correct” and
bully her through social
media because of her
sexuality. I am very disap-
pointed that you didn’t tell
her to completely cut out
this relationship.
— Disappointed
Dear Disappointed:
“Seething Sister” claimed
that she was consider-
ing complete estrange-
ment from her brother. I
suggested that disengaging
from him on social media
might be enough.

Doc explores quest to make

Black art invisible no more
By Christopher Knight
Los Angeles Times

“Black Art: In the

Absence of Light,” the new
documentary film from
acclaimed director Sam
Pollard that began stream-
ing Feb. 9 on HBO, opens
with a clip from a noto-
rious 1976 “Today” show
interview.
Tom Brokaw is the
host. David C. Driskell,
Christopher Plummer in the film“All the Money in the World.” GILES KEYTE/SONY PICTURES an artist and art histo-
rian, is the guest invited

Christopher Plummer shined in to the program to discuss

his groundbreaking show,
“Two Centuries of Black

these iconic film performances American Art: 1750-1950,”

By Katie Walsh
Tribune News Service
Oscar-winning actor
Christopher Plummer
recently died at the age
of 91, after an impressive
decade-spanning career,
with a list of iconic film
performances that will
forever be associated with
him. Here’s a selection of
some of his best and most
memorable roles and
where to stream them.
Everyone remembers
Plummer as the stern and
handsome Captain von
Trapp from “The Sound
of Music,” opposite Julie
Andrews as Maria, the
nun-turned-nanny who
connects to her young
charges via song. The
beloved musical is always
worth a rewatch; catch
it on Disney+ or rent it
for $3.99 from iTunes,
Amazon or YouTube.
Plummer played legend-
ary “60 Minutes” news-
man Mike Wallace in
Michael Mann’s 1999 film
“The Insider,” about Big
Tobacco whistleblower
Jeffrey Wigand (Russell
Crowe) and his negotia-
tions with news producer
Lowell Bergman (Al
Pacino). Rent this thriller
for $3.99 on Amazon,
YouTube or Vudu.
Rian Johnson’s 2019
whodunnit “Knives Out”
revolves around the ques-
tionable death of crime
writer and Thrombey
family patriarch Harlan,
played by Plummer. This
twisty tale is on Amazon
Prime, or rent it for $3.99
on YouTube or Vudu.
Much of the discussion
around Ridley Scott’s 2017
film “All the Money in the
World” centered on the
last-minute recasting and
reshoots that excised the
scandal-plagued Kevin
Spacey to replace his
performance as J. Paul
Getty with the legend-
ary Plummer. Despite the
extraordinary shooting
circumstances, Plummer
turns in a great perfor-
mance as the miserly Getty,
who is preoccupied with
building his villa while his
grandson is kidnapped in
Italy for a hefty ransom.
The performance earned
him an Oscar nomination
for best supporting actor.
Rent it for $2.99 Amazon,
or $3.99 on iTunes and
YouTube.
Plummer earned his
only Oscar statue, for best
supporting actor, for his
performance in Mike Mills’
indie film, the touching
2010 movie “Beginners.” A
tribute to Mills’ father, the
film follows the process
of septuagenarian Hal
(Plummer) coming out
of the closet to his son,
Oliver (Ewan McGregor),
while also revealing he has
cancer. It’s a beautiful film.
Watch it on HBO Max or
rent it for $3.99 on Amazon,
YouTube or Vudu.
Plummer was also
Oscar-nominated for
his performance as Leo
Tolstoy in the 2009 film
“The Last Station” ($2.99
on Amazon or Vudu, and
$3.99 on YouTube), and be
sure to catch him opposite
Crowe in Ron Howard’s
2001 film “A Beautiful
Mind” ($3.99 on iTunes,
Amazon, YouTube or
Vudu). He’s also fantastic
in the Elliott Gould-star-
ring 1978 bank robbery
thriller “The Silent Part-
ner,” available on Crite-
rion Channel or Kanopy.

the first major museum
survey of its subject.
What, Brokaw wants to
know, did Driskell think
of the critical drubbing in
The New York Times by
Hilton Kramer, the paper’s
chief art critic?
Despite a significant
abundance among the
200 assembled works of
art by dozens of import-
ant artists, the reviewer
insisted that the show was
“often more interesting as
social history than for its
esthetic revelations.” Note-
worthy as anthropology,
in other words, not as art
history.
The ancient racist trope
distinguishing between
merely interesting arti-
facts and profound works
of art — that is, between
the objects produced by
“primitive” versus “civi-
lized” cultures — was ines-
capable. Driskell was not
having it.
He gave a devastating
answer. Pausing at the
mention of the prominent
art critic’s name he replied,
in essence: Who?
Driskell disappeared
Kramer. The occupant of
the most important seat
in American art journal-
ism was knowingly made
a cipher.
Next question?
Driskell could be said
Kerry James Marshall’s“A Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow
of His Former Self,” 1980, egg tempera on paper. HBO
to have mirrored what
Ralph Ellison probed in
his indispensable novel,
“The Invisible Man”:
the controlling, suffo-
cating power of social
and cultural invisibil-
ity. Pollard’s documen-
tary turns immediately
to splendid painter Kerry
James Marshall, who saw
Driskell’s “Two Centuries”
show during its debut run
at the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art when he
was 21, and for whom Elli-
son was also a touchstone.
Provocative cultural
connections are subtly
unveiled. Marshall, now
65, has since made his
mark as among the most
important artists of his
generation through a
nuanced and moving
representation of Black
American civilization.
“Black Art: In the
Absence of Light” could
use more incisive moments
like that. The film covers
a lot of territory, including
interviews with notable
artists, curators, historians
and collectors.
Better too much than too
little, of course. Pollard’s
brilliant documentary
“MLK/FBI,” which lays
out in excruciating detail
the racist campaign of
destruction waged against
the civil rights leader by
J. Edgar Hoover, is also
streaming. I’d suggest
watching it first, followed
by “Black Art: In the
Absence of Light,” which
ponders the fruits of
institutional demand for
cultural equity animated
45 years ago and that is
only now beginning to be
fulfilled.

continue with the ace of clubs and a club ruff, he would not
be able to get off dummy. He would be left with a club loser

dummy! Now a club to the queen, the ace of clubs, and a club
ruff got his total up to eight. Nicely played!
Ruffing a winner in dummy is not the first thing you think
of, but it neatly solved declarer’s problem on this deal.

Get out the onesies.
Jake Arrieta is returning to to
the Chicago Cubs.

pending a physical.

BLACKHAWKS
Hawks after loss: ‘Just kind of
a bad feeling in all our stomachs’
By Phil Thompson
Chicago Tribune
Chicago Blackhawks coach
Jeremy Coliton acknowledged
there was “lots to learn, lots to
teach” from a 6-5 loss to the
Columbus Blue Jackets in which
the Hawks took the lead twice
and watched it crumble within
the final three minutes of the
game Thursday night at the
United Center.
Chicago’s best sports section, as judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors
of the rotation that led them to the
2016 World Series title, returns
after a subpar stint with the
Philadelphia Phillies, with whom
he went 22-23 with a 4.36 ERA
after signing a three-year, $75
million deal in March 2018.
Arrieta will turn 35 on March 6
and isn’t the same pitcher he was
in 2016, but the Cubs are betting
he’ll be a steady presence in the
rotation and a strong influence in
the clubhouse, reuniting with
friends Kyle Hendricks, Anthony
Rizzo, Javier Baez, Jason Hey-
ward and others.
He’ll join a rotation now led by
Hendricks, who credited Arrieta
Lesson No. 1: “Take care of the
puck,” Colliton said.
“A lot of what they generated,
particularly in the first two
periods, was off us turning the
puck over, or we end up taking a
penalty after a turnover,” he said.
“I thought we did a lot of good
things, particularly early, espe-
cially in the first 30 minutes.
“But we give them life when
we didn’t need to.”
Every team has turnovers, but
for helping him improve the
mental side of his game.
“Jake was really the guy when I
first got called up who took me
under his wing,” Hendricks told
the Tribune in 2017. “Sitting on the
bench, talking about hitters, talk-
ing about teams, game planning,
how to survive at this level, and
more importantly see his work
ethic, how he goes about his work
in between starts — his sides
sessions, his cardio. … I’ve learned
a lot on how strong mentally he is
and how to take that out on the
mound.”
Turn to Arrieta, Page 2
throughout the early part of the
season, the Hawks’ have seemed
to pay immediate consequences.
Some of it could be growing
pains for young players and some
could be chemistry among unfa-
miliar teammates, but those be-
come less valid as excuses as the
season grows older.
The progress the Hawks have
made in some corners has been
as undeniable as it was unexpect-
ed, but this persistent problem
Jake Arrieta, who pitched his best as a Cub, returned on a one-year deal.
CHRIS SWEDA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
hamstrings that progress.
“Just a bad feeling in all our
stomachs,” rookie Ian Mitchell
said. “One kind of got away from
us.
“We’ve got to learn from it and
try not to let it happen again. …
We’re still learning. It still sucks,
though.”
Here are four takeaways from
the game.

CLIPPERS 125,
BULLS 106
LaVine
playing
like a Star
‘The game is so easy’
for Bulls guard
By Jamal Collier
Chicago Tribune
While competing against the
Chicago Bulls for several differ-
ent teams over the past four
seasons, Garrett Temple formed
a strong impression of Zach
LaVine. At the start of training
camp, as he listed reasons for
signing with the Bulls, he de-
scribed LaVine as “a budding
superstar.”
One month into playing along-
side LaVine, Temple called him
“the most athletic, most fluid”
teammate he has ever had. With
10 years of NBA experience on 10
different organizations, Temple
has had a lot of teammates.
“Numbers-wise, the game is so
easy for him on the offensive
end,” Temple said before Friday’s
125-106 loss to the Los Angeles
Clippers. “He’s able to score a lot
of different ways. The numbers
he’s putting up right now are
amazing, so it’s just a matter of us
winning games and him leading
us to wins to take him to that
superstar level.
“He has all the tools, and he’s
doing an amazing job scoring,
efficientlysetting other people
up, taking what comes to him.”
LaVine is proving Temple’s
assessment correct with career
numbers this season.
Entering Friday, LaVine was
averaging 28.2 points — sixth in
the NBA — with 5.3 rebounds
and 5.3 assists per game. He’s
posting near 50/40/90 shooting
splits (52/43/86) and a 65% true
shooting percentage. Those are
all career highs across the board.
LaVine has improved his scoring,
assists and effective field goal
percentage each year since join-
ing the Bulls.
“It wasn’t even the first im-
pression as a teammate,” Temple
said. “It was the first impression
as a competitor and just knowing
coaches that have coached him,
that have been around him since
he was young, since he was a
rookie in Minnesota.
“The competitive spirit that
he has, I think the competitive
spirit was something I saw once I
got on the team with him that I
didn’t know if he had it or not.

Shelby Miller opted out of the 2020 season after being signed to a minor-league deal with the Brewers.

among non-roster invitees to Cubs camp
By Paul Sullivan
Chicago Tribune
The Cubs released their list of non-roster
invites to spring training, which includes
once-promising pitcher Shelby Miller.
Miller, 30, a first-round draft pick of the
St. Louis Cardinals in 2009, was one of their
top young pitchers and went 26-18 with a
3.33 ERA in three seasons before being dealt
to the Atlanta Braves after the 2014 season
in a multiplayer trade that brought Jason
Heyward to the Cardinals.
Miller lost a league-high 17 games in 2015
despite a 3.02 ERA with the Braves and was
traded after one season to the Arizona
Diamondbacks in deal that netted top
shortstop prospect Dansby Swanson. In-
juries and ineffectiveness plagued Miller
Arrieta
Continued from Page 1
Arrieta arrived in Chicago without fan-
fare as part of a multiplayer deal with the
Baltimore Orioles in 2013, was sent to
Triple-A Iowa to start his Cubs career and
didn’t begin to gel until 2014. But once he
got into a groove, Arrieta quickly estab-
lished himself as the ace in 2015, going 22-6
with a 1.77 ERA, the lowest of any Cub in
nearly a half-century.
His second-half ERA was 0.75, the lowest
of any pitcher in major-league history, and
he threw a no-hitter against the Dodgers in
Los Angeles on “Onesies Night,” one of the
team’s costume-themed trips. Arrieta fa-
mously wore the onesie during his
postgame news conference, adding to his
legend.
After a brilliant regular season he shut
out the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0 in the NL
wild-card game to get the Cubs into the
Division Series, and helped them advance
to the National League Championship Series.
After adding a second no-hitter against the
Cincinnati Reds and going 18-10 during the
championship season in 2016, he entered
his free-agent year with a chance to become
one of the highest-paid starters in the game.
But the Cubs did not sign him to an
extension, and when he left after the 2017
season, some experts felt he would com-

Both teams will allow limited fans to home
spring training games.
The Sox will allow a socially distanced
crowd of 2,400 seats at Camelback Ranch —
18% of capacity — and sell single-game
tickets starting at 11 a.m. CT on Feb. 20.
Tickets will be sold in pods of two, four and
six seats.
The Cubs will sell single-game tickets to
spring games at Sloan Park in Mesa starting
at 1 p.m. Feb. 19. Attendance will be limited
the next four seasons — he went a combined
6-21 with a 6.89 ERA with the Braves and
Texas Rangers.
After signing a minor-league deal with
the Milwaukee Brewers in 2020, Miller opted
out of the COVID-19-shortened season.
The Cubs also will bring in infielder Matt
Duffy, who drove in 77 runs and hit .295
with the San Francisco Giants in 2015,
finishing second in National League Rookie
of the Year voting. But Duffy never was the
same after suffering an Achilles injury in
2016 and last played with the Tampa Bay
Rays in 2019, hitting .252 with one home
run and 12 RBI in 46 games.
Another veteran getting a shot in camp is

mand a contract in the $150 million to $200
million range. Arrieta felt the same. After
the Washington Nationals paid Steven
Strasburg $175 million over seven years in
2016, Arrieta was was asked if he’d
command that much when he became a
free agent.
“I’ll let you judge that,” he replied. “Just
look at the numbers.”
But the market was slow to develop for
free agents all winter, and Arrieta had to
settled for a late deal with the Phillies.
Though an average annual salary of $25
million was nothing to sneeze at, it was for
far fewer years and less total money than
original estimates.
The Cubs pivoted to free agent Yu
Darvish just before the start of spring
training but before signing him offered
Arrieta a last-ditch, six-year, $120 million
deal. He turned it down.
When Arrieta returned to Wrigley Field
with the Phillies in early 2018, he didn’t
pitch against his former team but received a
standing ovation from Cubs fans as he stood
outside the dugout during a video tribute.
“It felt like it did when I played here,” he
said that night. “Fans were just really
appreciative of what we were able to create
over the years I played here, from the end of
’13 to last season. Just really special, and it
was a really special time to be a Cub, and it
still is for the guys who are part of this
organization.”
Arrieta’s stay in Philadelphia didn’t go as

Here’s the rest of the Cubs’ 25-man list:
Right-handed pitchers Joe Biagini,
James Bourque, Juan Gamez, Jake Jewell,
Trevor Megill, Tommy Nance and Michael
Rucker; left-handed pitchers Rex Brothers,
Brendon Little, Adam Morgan, D.J. Snelten
and Jerry Vasto; infielders Abiatal Avelino,
Trent Giambrone, Alfonso Rivas and Pat-
rick Wisdom; outfielders Michael Hermo-
sillo, Nick Martini, Ian Miller and Rafael
Ortega; and catchers Taylor Gushue and P.J.
Higgins.
Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to
report Wednesday, with the first full-squad
workout set for Feb. 22. The Cubs an-
nounced their revised Cactus League

in Peoria, Ariz.
planned, as the number suggested. He went
4-4 with a 5.09 ERA in nine starts in 2020
and missed the finals week with a right
hamstring strain. Phillies fans were harsh in
their assessment of Arrieta’s abilities, and
there was no thought of returning.
The Cubs seemed like a long shot too.
They haven’t spent on free agents this
offseason — outfielder Joc Pederson’s
guaranteed $7 million deal is their largest
expenditure of the winter.
Cubs President Jed Hoyer said last week
that he had more money in the budget and
expected to have seven or eight potential
starters in 2021 because almost everyone
would be limited in their innings after the
60-game 2020 season.
Arrieta will join Hendricks, Zach Davies,
Alec Mills and Trevor Williams in the rotation.
Arrieta never has lacked for confidence
and figures to try to prove everyone wrong
who assumes he has peaked and no longer
can be the front-line starter he was with the
Cubs from 2015-17. As Hendricks once said,
Arrieta never has put any limits on himself.
“He’s never going to let anyone tell him
what he can’t do and he really does believe
he’s that (2015) pitcher all the time,”
Hendricks said. “You’ve got to think you’re
one of the best, even when you’re not going
so well, to have that confidence. He always
has confidence in himself.”
Can Jake 2.0 be as big of a force in a Cubs
revival as he was six years ago?
Hoyer is betting on it.

A year ago, LaVine was open about his
goal to make the All-Star team, seeking
recognition for elevations to his game. This

campaigning for himself and taken a much
more understated approach. He’s acknowl-
edged he would like to be selected, and

Cubs agree
to multiyear
extension
with WSCR
By Phil Rosenthal
Chicago Tribune
No one knows what the Chicago
Cubs’ future will look like. What’s
certain is radio listeners will hear it on
WSCR-AM 670.
The team and the Entercom Commu-
nications sports talk station announced
Friday that they agreed to a multiyear
extension of their partnership, which
would have expired after the 2022
season.
Specific details were not disclosed.
WSCR-AM became the Cubs’ radio
flagship in 2016, in time to broadcast
their first World Series championship
since 1908.
The agreement covers select spring
training exhibitions, all regular-season
games and, when there is one, the Cubs’
postseason. WSCR’s game broadcasts
also will be available for free in the
Chicago area via the station’s stream on
the Entercom Radio.com website and
app, as well as smart speakers.
Pat Hughes, 65, who is set to begin his
26th season as radio play-by-play voice
of the Cubs and 39th as a major-league
announcer, has one year remaining on
his current deal. But every indication is
they want to keep him and analyst Ron
Coomer on board for the foreseeable
future.
“The Score has produced some of the
most memorable moments in Cubs
history and perhaps more than in any
other year, we look forward to soon
hearing the familiar voices of Pat
Hughes and Ron Coomer calling Cubs
games,” Crane Kenney, Cubs president
of business operations, said in a state-
ment.
Rachel Williamson, regional presi-
dent and market manager of Entercom
Chicago, said in the announcement she
was “beyond thrilled to be extending our
partnership with the Cubs organiza-
tion.”
While pandemic precautions re-
quired Hughes and Coomer to call road
games off TV monitors from their
Wrigley Field booth through the Cubs’
abbreviated 2020 season and postsea-
son, it appears they will resume traveling
this year.
WGN-AM 720 was radio home of the
Cubs from 1959-2014. Entercom lured
the team away from that long-term
marriage that began in 2015. Because
WSCR-AM was in the last year of an
agreement to carry White Sox games,
the Cubs were heard for a season on
Entercom’s WBBM-AM 780 before
moving to the Score.
Locking in this rights extension might
nudge along discussions concerning
possible collaboration between the
Score and Marquee Sports Network, the
television channel the Cubs launched
last year with the Sinclair Broadcast
Group.
It’s not expected such a partnership
would involve simulcasting WSCR pro-
grams on Marquee, but the two media
outlets might be able to work together
on other content.
Chicago’s White Sox this offseason
jumped from WGN-AM to WMVP-AM
1000. Len Kasper, who has spent the last
16 seasons as TV voice of the Cubs,
signed on the Sox’s radio play-by-play
announcer.
would attend the game if so, but his
conversations with coach Billy Donovan
have not been focused on those goals.
“He understands at this point in his
career that individual accolades come when
the team does really well,” coach Billy
Donovan said. “When your team does well,
players get recognized. Certainty if our
team can continue to grow, develop and
improve and get better and be very, very
competitive and be in a situation where
we’re winning more, he’s going to get
recognized for those things. I think he’s
aware of that.”

MLB cuts spring training travel
Major League Baseball revamped its spring training exhi-
bition schedule because of the pandemic, cutting travel for
Florida-based teams in an effort to minimize coronavirus
risks. College baseball teams, which often play big league
clubs but are not subject to major league testing proto-
cols, were dropped from the revised schedules announced
Friday. Split-squad games, traditionally used in the first
half of the exhibition season to allow evaluation of more
players, also were eliminated. Florida-based teams may
decide to dress at their own ballparks and travel in uniform
for road exhibitions to increase distancing while putting
on uniforms. Arizona-based teams traditionally dress and
take batting practice at home stadiums, then travel for road
exhibitions. Pitchers and catchers open spring training
workouts Wednesday, and the exhibition season starts
Feb. 28, two days later than initially announced. The regu-
lar season remains on track to start April 1 after the Major
League Baseball Players Association rejected the clubs’
proposal to delay opening day until April 22 and cut each
team’s schedule from 162 games to 154. The rejected plan
would have pushed back the start of spring training until
March 22.
Pouncey twins retire from NFL
Mike and Maurkice Pouncey
came into the world together.
They’re leaving the NFL in
the same way. The 31-year-old
twin brothers announced their
respective retirements on Friday
after spending a decade among
the best centers in the league.
Maurkice Pouncey spent 11 years with the Steelers, earn-
ing two All-Pro nods and nine Pro Bowl selections while
serving as the security blanket for quarterback Ben Roeth-
lisberger. Mike Pouncey reached the Pro Bowl four times
while playing for the Dolphins and Chargers. “To my
big brother Mike Pouncey thank you for always pushing
me to be the best,” Maurkice posted on Instagram. “The
sacrifices we made will forever go unnoticed but Together
(13x ProBowls 2x first team all Pro’s 3x second team all
Pro’s) who would’ve ever thought that as kids !” Maur-
kice Pouncey had one year remaining on the three-year,
$33 million contract extension he signed in 2019. He was
limited to 13 games this season after being placed on the
reserve/COVID-19 list.
Oregon QB headed to transfer portal
Oregon quarterback Tyler Shough has announced he is
entering the transfer portal with three years of eligibility
remaining. “I would like to thank my coaches at Oregon
for the opportunity and many lessons learned these past
three years,” Shough posted on Twitter. “Huge thank you
to the fans and Eugene community for welcoming me here
and making this place special.” Shough started all seven
games for the Ducks this season as a redshirt sophomore,
passing for 1,559 yards and 13 touchdowns. He was inter-
cepted six times. Oregon finished 4-3 overall and won the
Pac-12 title with a 31-24 victory over USC in the champi-
onship game. The Ducks fell 34-17 to Iowa State in the
Fiesta Bowl. Shough won the starting job in fall camp in
2020, but he was replaced in the team’s bowl game for long
stretches by backup Anthony Brown. Shough complet-
ing 7 of 9 passes for 79 yards and an interception against
Iowa State. “Thank you to my teammates and brothers for
making this place a home. I will forever cherish the bonds
we have built together,” Shough posted to Twitter. “Once
a Duck, always a Duck.” Shough is the eighth scholarship
player at Oregon who has announced a decision to transfer.

DAYTONA 500

Duels costly
for Hendrick
Motorsports
Bowman may lose pole,
Byron knocked off front row
By Jenna Fryer
Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — What

should have been a tune-up for the
Daytona 500 might have cost Hendrick
Motorsports the front row for NASCAR’s
version of the Super Bowl.
Alex Bowman and William Byron
were slated to lead the Daytona 500
field to green but that’s in danger follow-
ing Thursday night’s qualifying races.
Bowman had an engine problem in the
first 150-mile race and, if his motor needs
to be changed, he’ll forfeit Sunday’s pole.
Byron was collected in a crash in the
second Duel and it ruined his Chevrolet.
He needs to move to a backup car for the
500 and the swap sends him to the back
of the field.
“Bummer,” Byron said. “Man the thing
was fast.”
Aric Almirola won the first race. After a
rain delay pushed the second Duel into a
Friday morning finish, Austin Dillon used
a cross-over move on Bubba Wallace to
beat Wallace to the checkered flag.
Almirola in a Ford was slated to start
behind Byron but will slide up to the front
row when Byron falls to the back. Dillon
in a Chevrolet will wait to see if Hendrick
changes Bowman’s engine this weekend.
Austin Cindric and Kaz Grala both
earned their first berths into the Daytona
500 by claiming the two available transfer
positions in the Duels. Ty Dillon, Timmy
Hill, Garrett Smithley and Noah Gragson
all failed to advance.
Smithley and Gragson were racing
each other for the transfer spot in the
second race when Smithley tried to duck
around Gragson. Brad Keselowski on his
outside wasn’t expecting Smithley to fill
the gap and the two collided, starting a
wreck that eliminated both Smithley and
Gragson.
Byron also was caught in that crash.
Novak Djokovic falls on the court in a match against Taylor Fritz on Friday during the Australian Open in Melbourne. BRANDON MALONE/GETTY Bowman sensed a problem with his
engine and rather than push it too far, he
drove to pit road during the first race to
AUSTRALIAN OPEN give his No. 48 crew a chance to save his
pole-winning run.

Djokovic could be done

No. 1 seed says he tore a muscle
in 5-set win, may withdraw
Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — Novak
Djokovic said he tore a muscle during a fall in
his five-set victory in the Australian Open’s
third round and might need to pull out of the
tournament.
His opponent, American Taylor Fritz,
wasn’t so sure. He figured Djokovic defi-
nitely will be back out there Sunday to
continue his pursuit of a ninth champion-
ship at Melbourne Park and 18th Grand Slam
title overall.
“If he can play like he played in the fifth, I
don’t see why he wouldn’t play,” Fritz said.
“He’ll beat pretty much anyone.”
The No. 1-ranked Djokovic seemed to be
cruising along with a two-set lead Friday
night when his left foot gave out from
under him as he tried to change directions
and he slipped awkwardly on the white
“MELBOURNE” lettering at the back of the
blue court. He took a medical timeout for
treatment on his side and later was helped
more by a trainer. Fritz got back into the
match, before Djokovic eventually won 7-6
(1), 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2.
When it ended, Djokovic puffed his chest,
held his arms out wide and bellowed, his
voice echoing through an empty and other-
wise silent Rod Laver Arena. The match
began with spectators present, but they
were forced to leave a little past 11:30 p.m. —
about an hour before Djokovic wrapped up
his win — because a local COVID-19 lock-
down began at midnight.
During an on-court interview, he was
subdued.
And pessimistic.
“I know it’s a tear, definitely, of the muscle.
So I don’t know if I’ll manage to recover from
that in less than two days. I don’t know. I
don’t know. I don’t know if I’m going to step
out onto the court or not,” said Djokovic,
who is supposed to face 2016 Wimbledon
runner-up Milos Raonic with a quarterfinal
berth on the line.
“I am just very proud of this achievement
tonight,” Djokovic said. “Let’s see what
happens tomorrow.”
The only man in the draw with more
Grand Slam trophies than Djokovic, No. 2
Rafael Nadal, has been complaining about a
bad back since last week. Nadal’s bid for his
men’s-record 21st major title — breaking a
tie with Roger Federer — continues Saturday
in the third round against Cameron Norrie.
Others in third-round action Satur-
day include No. 4 Daniil Medvedev, No. 5
Stefanos Tsitsipas, No. 7 Andrey Rublev, No.
9 Matteo Berrettini and the last American
man in the tournament, unseeded McKen-
zie McDonald.
In addition to Djokovic-Raonic, the
fourth-round matchups slated for Sunday
are No. 3 Dominic Thiem vs. No. 18 Grigor
Dimitrov, No. 6 Alexander Zverev vs. No. 23
Dusan Lajovic, and No. 20 Felix Auger-Alias-
sime vs. Aslan Karatsev, a Russian qualifier
who is ranked 114th and making his Grand
Slam debut.
On Friday, Djokovic’s match was halted
for about 10 minutes while the crowd was
cleared out, which bothered Fritz.
“I mean, to be honest — like, completely
honest — it’s absolutely ridiculous that at
a Grand Slam match, we’re asked to leave
the court for 10 minutes in the middle of the
match,” said Fritz, a 23-year-old from Cali-
fornia who was seeded 27th. “That shouldn’t
be a thing at a Grand Slam. ... We shouldn’t
have played tonight if we weren’t going to
finish the match on time.”
No fans will be allowed at the tournament
for at least five days.
“In a way, it’s unfortunate for the crowd
that we didn’t finish the match with them
seeing the end. They were enjoying it,
certainly,” said Djokovic, the champion in
Australia each of the past two years. “On
the other hand, you know, for me regard-
less of the crowd in the stands or not, I was
just trying to focus on what’s going on with
an injury and just praying and hoping that
somehow it would get better.”
After his movement and usually strong
returns were clearly hampered in the third
and fourth sets, Djokovic began to assert
himself more in the fifth.
Things swung suddenly back in his favor
with a break to 4-2.
“Looked like he was struggling in the third
and the fourth, and he didn’t really look like
he was struggling in the fifth,” Fritz said. “He
looked fine in the fifth. Let’s be honest.”
This setback dropped Fritz’s career record
in third-round matches at Grand Slam tour-
naments to 0-6.
“I make (the) third round literally every
single Slam. I just want to make it to the
fourth round,” Fritz said. “Like, it’s so tough.
I fought so hard and wanted it so bad, and it’s
just really tough to go out like that.”
“I don’t want to keep running it,”
Bowman radioed.
The team spent Friday troubleshoot-
ing the engine in Bowman’s pole-winning
Daytona 500 car. Changing the motor and
forfeiting Bowman’s starting spot will be
a last resort.
Chad Knaus, vice president of compe-
tition for Hendrick, said the No. 48 team
will ideally use Saturday’s final two prac-
tice sessions to determine if the engine
can make it 500 miles on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Wallace, in his debut for
the new 23XI Racing team owned by
Michael Jordan, flirted with his first win
in a Cup car. He was the leader on the
final lap of the second Duel until Dillon
crossed to Wallace’s inside and inched
ahead.
Wallace tried to hold it steady but
wobbled after banging doors with Dillon.
“Good debut but nothing to be really
happy about myself,” Wallace said. “It’s
OK for drivers to be hard on themselves
— that’s how we motivate ourselves. I
know I’ve got a lot to learn here.”
Cindric and Grala both got into their
first Daytona 500 through NASCAR’s
quirky qualifying for its biggest race of
the year. The race had 48 entrants for 40
slots, but all but four are claimed by teams
with guaranteed entry.
It pitted eight drivers for four spots,
with two awarded to David Ragan and
Ryan Preece in Wednesday’s time trials.
The other two spots were open to the
highest-finishing “open” cars in each
Duel — unless the highest finisher was
Ragan or Preece.
Preece passed Ty Dillon in the final
stretch of the first race, and even though
Dillon finished sixth out of 22 cars, the
transfer spot dropped to Cindric based
on his qualifying speed from a day
earlier.

BLACKHAWKS

Takeaways Jackets’ counterattack finished with Boone

Continued from Page 1
1. Do the Hawks or the NHL track goals
off turnovers?
That would be an interesting statistic.
No need to relitigate each prior instance
of times an opponent immediately con-
verted a turnover into a goal. We’ve seen it
in games against the Carolina Hurricanes,
Dallas Stars and others, not to mention
instances in which the Hawks narrowly
dodged a score.
The first goal Thursday night came in
the first period after Nicolas Beaudin was
picked off coming out of the defensive zone
and Cam Atkinson scored a short-handed
goal on a breakaway. Side note: Atkinson
(one goal, three assists) and Jack Roslovic
(two goals) terrorized the Hawks.
Beaudin said he was “just trying to skate
the puck there, trying to pass it to Kaner
(Patrick Kane), (Nick) Foligno got a good
stick and Atkinson had a pretty good shot.
That was my fault.”
Beaudin made up for it in the second
period with his first-career goal, which
gave the Hawks their first lead.
But the rookie wasn’t alone. The Hawks
recorded a season-high 17 giveaways in the
game.
The Hawks have a lot of younger players
such as Beaudin, and they’ve made their
share of mistakes. But a lot of time the
comeback kids have rallied to upset wins.
But this time players across the board had a
role in letting the other team stage a
comeback.
The Hawks pondered whether this
letdown still could be a teachable moment.
“It’s not really the player’s job to think
about moral victories and learning from
different situations,” Kane said.
Added Colliton: “We’ve stayed alive by
not beating ourselves and we’ve come
through in big moments. Tonight was the
opposite. We were good, especially early,
and we didn’t manage the game and came
out on the wrong end of it.
“I’d rather learn when we win, but we’re
going to learn just the same.”
2. As the Hawks’ penalty kill failed
them, they also lacked ‘killer instinct’
in the third period.
The Hawks’ run of 14 penalty kills came
to an end on the Blue Jackets’ second
power-play opportunity, a boarding penal-
ty on Nick Zadorov that followed a
Columbus takeaway — incidentally, the
streak started during the first game against
the Blue Jackets.
Late in the second period, Roslovic
one-timed a pass from Max Domi to bring
the Blue Jackets within a goal at 3-2.
In the third period, the Hawks failed on
a short-handed shot on goal and the Blue

Jenner putting in the rebound off Atkin-
son’s shot, bringing them within a goal at
4-3.
“We turned the puck over (and) took a
couple of penalties they scored on,”
Colliton said of the third-period collapse.
Eight minutes into the period, Roslovic
struck for the second time.
Goals from Michael Del Zotto and Kevin
Stenlund came 1 minute, 27 seconds apart,
with the latter coming with 1:14 remaining.
Four goals in the third and the Hawks’ fate
was sealed.
Said Kane: “A lot happened from us
going up 4-2 to them scoring on the power
play, them tying it up, got the lead, feeling
good again, then they tied it up and took
the lead. Just have to be better at shutting
down the game.”
Colliton said the Hawks gave away the
momentum they had built early in the
second and third periods.
“We have to manage the puck better and
have a killer instinct in the third period
when we have the lead,” he said.
3. The loss overshadowed the strides
Patrick Kane has made with his line.
Kane, Alex DeBrincat and Pius Suter
played about 15 minutes together and
dominated possession at five-on-five, ac-
cording to NaturalStatTrick.com.
The trio produced two goals: Kane’s
nifty backhanded tap to Suter and DeBrin-
cat’s cross-ice pass to Kane for his
power-play goal in the third period.
“Suter’s just getting better and starting
to familiarize himself with the NHL
game,” Kane said. “He wins pucks back,
he’s driving the net really well and creating
space for his linemates. DeBrincat’s been
great pretty much all year.
“I still think there’s more there. I can be
better. I lost a couple of pucks tonight I
probably don’t usually lose and could
create more.”
Kane has had a goal or assist in six of the
last seven games, but he’s not trying to do it
all himself. As good as he is, the Hawks only
can go so far relying on him.
“I just feel like this year I’m not going
into games feeling pressure that I have to
do too much,” he said. “Team is going to be
competitive, guys are going to have good
shifts, make good plays and work hard for
the team. It’s a good team mindset right
now.”
4. Ian Mitchell and Nicolas Beaudin
celebrate firsts together.
Mitchell and Beaudin scored their
first-career goals 56 seconds apart to start
the second period.
Mitchell had to wait until his 15th game
to get his first goal, a tap-in off David
Kampf’s pass.
Beaudin scored off a back-wall bounce
when Zadorov’s shot went wide.
