CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

Why COVID-19 numbers are rising again

Public could be following ‘recipe for a surge’
By Madeline Buckley
and Angie Leventis Lourgos
Chicago Tribune
Coronavirus cases in Chicago
and Illinois are inching upward
again, part of a nationwide pattern
that is causing experts and officials
to worry about another surge of the
virus while cities and states race
to vaccinate people as quickly as
possible.
In Chicago, doctors see telling
signs of a potential surge, includ-
ing smaller outbreaks in some
areas that they fear will coalesce
into a bigger outbreak before most
people are vaccinated. And Mayor
Lori Lightfoot cited concern on
Wednesday, pointing to a “quan-
tum leap” in coronavirus numbers,
and said Chicago won’t proceed
with further reopening measures
until numbers go down.
Still, as vaccines pick up, experts
hope the inoculations will help
lessen the uptick.
Chicago’s positivity rate as of
Thursday was 4.6%, an increase of
over a percentage point compared
with 3.4% last week. The seven-day
rolling average of cases went up to
519 in that same period, which was
up 41% from the week prior.
Illinois public health officials
announced 3,526 new cases on
Thursday, with a statewide positiv-
ity rate for cases of 3.5%, compared
with 2.7% the week before.
Meanwhile, just over 17% of
Illinois residents have been vacci-
nated, according to state data.
“It’s the tortoise and the hare
race,” said Dr. Emily Landon, an
epidemiologist at the University
of Chicago School of Medicine.
“The vaccine is the tortoise, and
we know it’s going to win eventu-

struggle with drugs

MINNEAPOLIS — George
Floyd’s girlfriend tearfully told a
jury Thursday the story of how
they met — at a Salvation Army
shelter where he was a security
guard with “this great, deep South-
ern voice, raspy” — and how they
both struggled mightily with an
addiction to opioids.
“Our story, it’s a classic story of
how many people get addicted to
opioids. We both suffered from
chronic pain. Mine was in my neck
and his was in his back,” Courteney
Ross, 45, said on Day 4 of former
Officer Derek Chauvin’s murder
trial.
She said they “tried really hard

The defense has argued that
Chauvin did what he was trained
to do and that Floyd’s death last
May was caused by his illegal drug
use, underlying health conditions
and his natural adrenaline. An
autopsy found fentanyl and meth-
amphetamine in his system.
Ross’ testimony could help
prosecutors blunt the argument
that drugs killed Floyd. Medical
experts have said that while the
level of fentanyl in his system could
be fatal to some, people who use
the drug regularly can develop a
tolerance to it.
Chauvin, 45, is charged with
murder and manslaughter, accused
of killing Floyd by kneeling on the
46-year-old Black man’s neck for
9 minutes, 29 seconds, as he lay
face-down in handcuffs, accused
of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at
a neighborhood market.

For a few brief hours Thursday afternoon, Chicago

The Cubs’ home opener marked one of the city’s
first mass events since the pandemic began, requir-

to myriad protocols that would have seemed
completely alien and wholly unnecessary just 13

had to wear a mask and attendance was limited to
just 25% of the park’s 41,000-seat capacity.

the Quad Cities, said before the game. “The excite-

Some Tuesday election candidates LaHood
are no strangers to controversy fined for
By Robert McCoppin
Chicago Tribune
One candidate has been the
subject of a federal investiga-
tion. Another stands charged in
a red-light camera case. Another
was charged with taking part in
a gambling ring. All are among
the mayors and village presidents
running for reelection in Chica-
go’s suburbs in Tuesday’s general
municipal election.
As voters choose their local
leaders, some longtime incum-
bents are stepping down, includ-
ing in Evergreen Park, Frankfort,
Northbrook, Lake Bluff and Oak
Lawn, leaving wide open races for
new leadership, while in Aurora
and Hoffman Estates, incumbents
face multiple challengers.
One of the more hotly contested
races is in southwest subur-
ban Lyons, where federal agents
raided the village hall and the
private insurance office of Mayor
Chris Getty in 2019 as part of a
wide-ranging corruption inves-
tigation.
The FBI seized information
about a red-light camera company,
a popular brewery, an embattled
video gaming magnate, and a
construction and quarry business
owner in town, records show.
Getty, 38, who is seeking his
fourth term, is the son of former
Mayor Kenneth Getty, who went
to prison for bid-rigging and theft
from the village, after a previous
FBI raid on village offices in 1996.
Ken Getty maintained his inno-
cence and blamed his political
rivals, and later helped his son
defeat them, before Chris Getty
appointed his father to the village
planning zoning board in 2011.
Challenger Richard Gatz Jr., 67,
is a Marine veteran and former
village trustee who works as a
cash handling supervisor at the
headquarters of the Illinois Toll
Highway Authority. He’s running
with a slate of trustee and clerk
candidates called the Village
Integrity Party.
“It’s time to run against him
because of all the corruption going
on,” he said. “It’s unbelievable.”
Chris Getty maintains that the
FBI interviewed him and never
filed charges because, he said, he
committed no crime. Federal offi-
cials did not respond this week to
a Tribune request for comment.
Investigators were looking into
bribes allegedly given to suburban
politicians to get red-light camera
contracts, Getty said. The village
had ended its red-light camera
operations a few years previously,
he said.

By Darcel Rockett
Chicago Tribune
Talking to Eli Coustan about his
website ILVaccine.org makes you
wonder what you were doing at
age 13.
Eli found out about the diffi-
culty people were having booking
COVID-19 vaccination appoint-
ments after he helped his grand-
parents. Putting his programming
skills to work, his website aims to
make the process easier.
Launched in February, the site
lists information about locations
across Illinois that are offering
COVID-19 vaccinations, including
availability and eligibility infor-
mation. As of Wednesday, Eli said
the site had reached 14,600 unique
visitors.
“It needs to be easy for people
to get appointments. If you’re
an essential worker, especially a
front-line essential worker, you
don’t have the time to be in all
the Facebook groups monitoring
everything,” he said. “You have
time to check a few things every
day, maybe. At the very beginning,
I saw how hard it was firsthand.
… When they release (appoint-
ments), nobody knows. And if
you’re not at the right place at the
right time, you’re not going to get
it. So that’s why I created it.”
Eli’s site has been referenced by
many since its inception, includ-
ing Illinois Senate Republican
leader Dan McConchie, U.S. Rep.
Jan Schakowsky and the Amer-
ican Medical Association’s daily
COVID-19 briefing in recent days.
He’s always improving the site,
from making it available in Span-
ish to adding accessibility tools
(bigger text, contrasting colors).
Eli keeps the site updated with the
help of volunteers.
He squeezes in work on the

said. “It’s behind me, behind
Lyons. We’ve moved past it. We’re
continuing to focus on moving the
community forward.”
The investigation was part of a
wide-ranging probe that already
has led to criminal charges against
a number of neighboring subur-
ban officials and Democratic
power brokers.
A federal grand jury continues
to investigate the case, and pros-
ecutors have said in court that
further charges are expected.
Chris Getty’s controversies go
back several years. Getty told the
Tribune in 2009 that he’d give
up income from liability insur-
ance sold by the family-run Getty
Insurance Agency to local bars,
which his administration regu-
lates. The move came after the
paper raised conflict-of-interest
questions. He also denied claims
that his father had sold insur-
ance despite having his insurance

license revoked.
In southwest suburban Crest-
wood, one officeholder who was
charged in the red-light camera
investigation, Mayor Lou Presta,
is running for reelection. Inves-
tigators said he was caught on a
recording in 2018 accepting an
envelope of with $5,000 cash from
a red-light camera firm.
Presta, whose case is still pend-
ing, has denied the charges. The
charges were announced last year,
around the same time Presta filed
a campaign report that red-light
camera company SafeSpeed gave
him $5,000 in Election Day work-
ers and expenses in 2018.
Former Crestwood Trustee
John Toscas, who ran a losing
campaign against Presta in 2013,
is running for mayor again with
a slate of three trustee candidates
and a clerk.
In north suburban Mettawa,
Casey Urlacher, the brother of
former Chicago Bears star Brian
Urlacher, is running for reelection
against former Mayor Jess Ray.
Urlacher joined the race only after
then-President Donald Trump
pardoned him in January of
federal sports gambling charges.
That was too late for Urlacher to
have his name on the ballot, so he
is running as a write-in candidate.
Though the town has a popu-
lation of less than 600, Urlacher
had raised more than $50,000 in

His father, Charles Coustan,
said the site is a little bit of a 24/7
obsession with Eli. He thinks Eli
easily spends 40-plus hours on it
per week.
“With the limited availabil-

the pandemic, if he’s going to be

a difference,” he said. “This has

Among the other races in the
suburbs for mayors and village
presidents:
In Wilmette, two members
of the village board, Senta Plun-
kett and Joel Kurzman, are vying
to become the next board presi-
dent. Both candidates emphasized
economic development, flood
control and affordable housing as
top priorities.
In the state’s second largest
city, Aurora, Mayor Richard Irvin
faces challenges from carpenter
and veteran John Laesch, and Ald.
Judd Lofchie. With the city facing
a $1 billion debt, all three prom-
ise economic development. The
challengers question the use of
tax increment financing, or TIF
districts, that divert property tax
revenue for development.
In west suburban Oak Park,
Village President Anan Abu-Taleb
is not seeking a third term. Village
Clerk Vicki Scaman is running
against community activist and
former park district worker Cate
Readling for the office.
In Hoffman Estates, retired
police Lt. Mark Mueller and chal-
lenger Nicholas Waryas are trying
to dethrone longtime incumbent
William McLeod.

loan lie
Ex-legislator ‘willfully’
failed to disclose $50K
when transport chief
By Rick Pearson
Chicago Tribune
Former central Illinois Repub-
lican congressman Ray LaHood
has acknowledged to federal pros-
ecutors that he failed to disclose a
$50,000 loan he received through
a wealthy Lebanese-Nigerian
businessman
during his tenure
as U.S. Transpor-
tation secretary in
President Barack
Obama’s adminis-
tration.
The acknowl-
edgment came
in the form of a LaHood
non-prosecu-
tion agreement
reached with federal prosecu-
tors in the Central District of
California and apparently was
an offshoot of a larger investiga-
tion into campaign contributions
made by the businessman, Gilbert
Chagoury.
Because he is not a U.S. citi-
zen, Chagoury is prohibited
from contributing to political
campaigns.
Prosecutors disclosed late
Wednesday that LaHood, 75,
of Peoria, who was Transpor-
tation secretary from 2009 to
2013, denied to FBI agents that
he had received the loan until he
was shown a copy of the $50,000
check.
He also did not tell agents that
he knew Chagoury was the ulti-
mate source of the loan.
According to the non-pros-
ecution agreement signed by
LaHood in December of 2019, but
not made public until Wednesday,
LaHood met Chagoury and Toufic
Baaklini, one of Chagoury’s U.S.
representatives, in July 2009 at a
convention in Los Angeles.
In 2011 and 2012, the agree-
ment said, LaHood was suffering
“significant financial difficulties in
part due to problems from home
remediation and sought funds to
conduct home repairs.”
Through an unnamed inter-
mediary, Baaklini gave LaHood a
$50,000 personal check with the
word “Loan” written in the memo
line.
Prosecutors said LaHood
understood Chagoury was the
ultimate source of the funds.
The agreement said LaHood
“willfully” failed to disclose the
loan in annual financial disclosure
statements because Chagoury
in 2009 “was reported to have
been on the U.S. ‘No Fly List’ ” of
suspected terrorists. Chagoury
has denied being involved in
terrorism and filed a lawsuit in an
effort to restore his flying privi-
leges in the U.S.
As part of the agreement,
LaHood agreed to pay a $40,000
fine to the federal government and
repay the $50,000 loan.
Federal prosecutors said the
factors they considered in agree-
ing not to prosecute LaHood were
his “willingness to acknowledge
and accept responsibility” for his
actions, his cooperation with the
government, the nature of the
offense and “LaHood’s substan-
tial mitigating factors.”
LaHood did not respond to a
request for comment.
Separately, Chagoury, who
lives in Paris, agreed to pay the
U.S. government $1.8 million
to settle allegations he illegally
contributed $180,000 to four
different political candidates
through proxies. Baaklini and
Joseph Arsin of Paris reportedly
assisted Chagoury in his illegal
contributions, and they entered
into payments to the government
to settle allegations against them.
Before the Republican LaHood
joined the Democratic Obama
administration, he represented
the central Illinois 18th Congres-
sional District from 1995 to 2009.
He was succeeded in Congress
by his son, Republican U.S. Rep.
Darin LaHood of Peoria.
Just months before signing
the non-prosecution agreement,
the elder LaHood was named in
September 2019 chairman of the
board of directors of the Abraham
Lincoln Presidential Library and
Museum in Springfield by Gov.
J.B. Pritzker.
The Pritzker administration did
not respond to a question about
LaHood’s status on the library and
museum board.

CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK

VP Harris to talk vaccine equity during Chicago visit

By Lisa Donovan
Chicago Tribune
Vice President Kamala
Harris will visit Chicago on
Tuesday to talk about equi-
table distribution of the
COVID-19 vaccine, accord-
ing to the White House. It’s
her first official visit here
since she and President Joe
Biden were inaugurated.
In rolling out the vaccine,
national and local Demo-
cratic leaders, including
Biden and Harris, Gov.
J.B. Pritzker, Mayor Lori
Lightfoot and many others,
have focused with varying
success on putting commu-
nities hardest hit by the
pandemic at the front of
the line to receive a vaccine,
including older adults and
Black and Latino residents.
The federal government
put up mass vaccination
sites, such as the one at the
United Center on Chicago’s
West Side, to help drive that
effort.
Since the election, Harris
has worked to encourage
people to get the vaccine
and close the anticipated
equity gap. When she
got her first dose of the
Moderna vaccine back
in December, she did it
before the news cameras,
emphasizing that she
trusted science and others
should too. It came as poll-
ing showed some vaccina-
tion hesitancy in the Black
community.
That mistrust is born of
historic racism in medical
treatment and studies.
Last week, the White
House announced $270
million of the $1.9 trillion
pandemic relief bill Biden
signed into law earlier this
month would go to 45 Illi-
nois health centers, includ-
ing 19 in Chicago. Health
centers serve 1 in 5 rural
residents and 1 in 11 people
nationwide. More than 91%
of patients live at or below
200% of the federal poverty
guidelines, and nearly 63%
are racial or ethnic minori-
ties, according to U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services statistics.
After the election,
Harris began working to
close the equity gap. Since
taking office, Harris has
been working to close the
vaccination gap, announc-
ing grants to local health
centers that serve commu-
nities where vaccine rates
are low.
The White House didn’t
release details about her
trip to Chicago or whether
she’ll meet with fellow
Democrats Lightfoot or
Pritzker.

Rising

know it’s going to win even-
tually. But how far is the hare
going to get?”
Chicago public health
Commissioner Dr. Alli-
son Arwady cautioned on
Thursday that the rise in
cases could mean a signif-
icant increase in sickness,
hospitalizations and deaths.
Going into what will be a
holiday weekend for many,
Arwady advised the public
to be careful.
“You don’t want your
Easter celebration to turn
into a contact tracing event,”
she said.
The head of the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention grew emotional
on Monday when speaking
about a potential influx of
cases, telling reporters: “I’m
going to lose the script, and
I’m going to reflect on the
recurring feeling I have of
impending doom.”
The director, Dr. Rochelle
Walensky, said there is hope
for the future, but asked
people to continue wearing
masks and social distanc-
ing. President Joe Biden has
also asked governors who
revoked their states’ mask
mandates to reinstate the

Heights. STACEY WESCOTT / CHICAGO TRIBUNE
protective measure.
“But right now, I’m
scared,” Walensky said.
Locally, doctors say the
increase is likely a combi-
nation of reduced restric-
tions, particularly for bars
and restaurants, increased
travel for spring break and
the spread of more conta-
gious variants. People may
also feel more comfortable
going out because many in
more vulnerable popula-
tions in the area are being
vaccinated. The upcoming
Easter holiday may contrib-
ute as well.
“We know the recipe for
a surge,” said Dr. Khalilah
Gates, a pulmonary and crit-
ical care specialist at North-
western Memorial Hospital.
“It is traveling, vacationing,
gathering.”
Gates noted there was also
a surge around the Thanks-
giving and Christmas holi-
days.
Michael Cailas, associ-
ate professor at the School
of Public Health at the
University of Illinois at
Chicago, said the Chicago
area is in a similar place,
which he called a “transition
plateau phase,” as it was last
summer, before a surge of
cases in the fall. On the posi-
tive side, he said deaths are
slightly decreasing.
Cailas, though, said the
variants, which appear to
spread more quickly, are a
concern. In many European
countries, most of the posi-
tive cases are variant cases,
he said. Parts of Europe have
locked down again amid
surges.
In the United States, the
most prevalent variant is
the B.1.1.7, known as the U.K.
variant, with 11,569 reported
cases, according to data from
the CDC. The South Afri-
can variant, or B.1.351, has
312 reported cases, and the
Brazilian variant, P.1, has 172.
In Illinois, 218 cases of
the U.K. variant have been
reported, along with 19 cases
of the Brazilian variant and
three cases of the South
African variant, according
to the CDC. The Illinois
Department of Health is also
reporting 27 cases of a vari-
ant identified in California,
B.1.427/429.
The U.S. reported a seven-
day average of 56,995 new
COVID-19 cases of all types
as of March 26, about 7%
higher than the previous
seven-day period, accord-
ing to the CDC.
Because of the potential
for another outbreak before
most people are vaccinated,
doctors are urging people to
not let their guard down.
Gates noted the city is
seeing an increase in cases
in younger populations that
are mostly not eligible for
the vaccine yet.
Ald. Michele Smith of the
43rd Ward, which encom-
passes parts of Lincoln
Park and Old Town, said
this week in a newsletter
to residents that her ward’s
ZIP codes led the city in
new cases last week, many
of which were diagnosed in
people younger than 40.
In Michigan, a state where
many Chicagoans holiday,
there are more cases of
young people being admit-
ted to hospitals, Landon
said.
Landon noted that we will
“have a much nicer summer
ahead of us” if people try
to mitigate the surge now.
A bigger uptick could
mean government officials
roll back some reopening
measures.
“If we all just kind of
give up ... and say we’re not
going to try to mitigate this,
we could be looking at big
surges again,” Gates said.
“It’s scary, to say the least.”
Still, experts say there
is reason to be hopeful
too. Though he said he is
concerned about the uptick
in cases, Dr. Robert Citron-
berg, executive medical
director of infectious disease
and prevention for Advocate
Aurora Health, pointed to an
increasing number of people
who have been vaccinated
along with the individuals
who already had the virus.
“The good news is, I don’t
think the numbers are there
to have a massive surge like
we did in the fall and winter,”
Citronberg said.
He believes the second
half of the year could be an
improvement and pointed
to Biden’s target of July 4 as
a turning point. He stressed
that people should continue
masking and social distanc-
ing.
“I think if people continue
to get vaccinated, that’s a
pretty realistic target,” he
said. “We’re close, we’re just
not there yet. So hold on.”

Chinatown Square. ABEL URIBE/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Students

not alert police about hate
crimes due to language
barriers, internalized shame
or pressure to be perceived
as successful, a concept
known as the “model
minority myth,” the students
said.
Jessie Chen, a first-year
medical student at Loyola
University Chicago, said this
culture of silence masks the
severity of anti-Asian prej-
udice.
“It’s very much not part
of the dialogue,” said Chen,
26, who’s from San Fran-
cisco. “Especially with the
Atlanta shootings, a lot of us
in the Asian American and
Pacific Islanders commu-
nity are putting our foot
down. ... This is our moment
to really voice our opinions,
our concerns and make
long-lasting change.”
Just last week, 32-year-
old Kaylee Cong raised the
alarm after her Vietnam-
ese father was punched
from behind in the Uptown
neighborhood. Though her
60-year-old dad waited to
confide in his daughter and
didn’t file a police report,
Cong shared the informa-
tion on her nail salon’s social
media and contacted law
enforcement.
She told the Tribune her
generation shouldn’t stay
silent and must help older
relatives because “it’s hard
for them to speak up for
themselves.”
‘Trying to erase
my culture’
Sooah Kim, a second-year
law student at the Univer-
sity of Illinois, said she’s
worried about her parents,
who live in California. Her
dad interacts with custom-
ers at a store where he works
and her mom doesn’t speak
much English, she said.
“If something happens to
her, how is she going to be
able to handle it?” said Kim,
29, who was born in South
Korea. “When you grow
up as an immigrant kid and
your parents don’t speak the
language or know certain
things, you grow up protect-
ing them.”
Kim, who lived in Ecua-
dor during childhood and
came to the U.S. for college,
is among thousands of Asian
international students at
the Urbana-Champaign
campus. On one of her first
days of law school, some-
one asked if she went by
“Sue” instead of her given
name, a microaggression she
described as “trying to erase
my culture.”
Kim said her friends have
also experienced anti-Asian
rhetoric in recent months.
One was walking on campus
when people yelled “Ching
chang chong,” and another
was confronted at the
grocery store by someone
who said, “Go back to your
country.”
“It’s not only that we’re
seeing this in the media.
We’re scared,” she said.
“When I leave my house and
I’m by myself, I am always
conscious of who’s around
me.”
faced for 150 years — differ-
ent kinds of systemic racism
and individual racism,” he
said. “For Asians in the U.S.,
we have to learn how to
navigate a society that can be
hostile and sometimes racist
and sexist.”
About 37% of students
at U. of I.’s flagship campus
identify as Asian, Chih said.
Of those approximately
20,000 students, a little
under half are international
students from Asian coun-
tries, and about 11,000 are
Asian American students,
mainly from Illinois, Chih
said.
Though the Asian Amer-
ican Cultural Center
is remote during the
pandemic, Chih said many
students are reaching out
feeling angry, scared and
tired.
“I try to validate their
feelings of fear and anxi-
ety,” he said. “The act of
naming what’s happening
to Asian Americans as racist
is powerful because race in
this country is so often cate-
gorized as a Black-white
issue.”
Thousands of
‘hateful incidents’
For Edgar Yap, a second-
year medical student at
Loyola, the last few weeks
have felt emotionally drain-
ing. He’s trying to prepare
for a crucial exam in June,
but his days are also filled
with phone calls to check
on his parents and meet-
ings with faculty as part of
Loyola’s chapter of the Asian
Pacific American Medical
Student Association, for
which he recently was pres-
ident.
“Like other minority
groups, we are also shoul-
dered with the burden to
educate others about our
experiences while process-
ing what’s happening and
grieving,” said Yap, 26, a
Filipino American. “But at
the same time, we have to
put our heads down and
continue with the work that
we are supposed to do. It’s
a lot.”
Yap’s parents live in
California’s San Francisco
area, not far from a spate
of attacks against elderly
Asians.
On March 17 — a day after
the Atlanta shootings — a
75-year-old Chinese woman
was punched in the eye and
an 83-year-old Vietnamese
man was assaulted, allegedly
by the same perpetrator,
in downtown San Fran-
cisco. And in late January,
an 84-year-old Thai man
was shoved to the ground
while walking around his
neighborhood, leading to
his death.
Around the same time,
a string of random attacks
rocked Oakland’s China-
town neighborhood. A
suspect was charged with

pushing a 91-year-old Asian
man.
Yap, whose 82-year-old
father enjoys daily walks
through the park, said those
incidents caused concern
because “you never know
what could happen.”
Renewed outrage swept
New York City on Monday
after a 65-year-old Filipino
immigrant was attacked
by a man who kicked her
in the stomach, repeatedly
stomped on her head after
she fell and yelled, “You
don’t belong here,” accord-
ing to reports. Bystanders
watched the attack without
intervening.
Data document the anec-
dotal rise in anti-Asian
violence.
From 2019 to 2020, police
reports of anti-Asian hate
crimes increased by 145% in
the country’s 16 largest cities
while the total number of
reported hate crimes fell by
6%, according to data from
the Center for the Study
of Hate and Extremism at
California State University
in San Bernardino.
The first spike in anti-
Asian hate crimes occurred
in March and April “amidst
a rise in COVID cases and
negative stereotyping
of Asians relating to the
pandemic,” according to
the center. Former President
Donald Trump’s frequent
references to COVID-19
as the “Chinese virus” or
the “Kung Flu” also stoked
racial tensions, critics have
said.
Two anti-Asian hate crimes
were reported in Chicago
during 2018 and 2019, accord-
ing to city data. Numbers for
2020 and 2021 weren’t imme-
diately available, but the Cal
State center collected infor-
mation showing two were
reported last year.
Stop AAPI Hate, a consor-
tium that formed in March
2020, gathers a broader cate-
gory of “hate incidents” that
are self-reported through
its website. The group has
received 3,795 reports of
verbal harassment, physical
avoidance, physical assault,
civil rights violations and
online harassment directed
at Asian Americans.
Reports from people 60
and older made up only 6.2%
of those incidents.
Shalani Shankar, a profes-
sor of anthropology and
Asian American studies at
Northwestern University,
said older Asians who immi-
grated to the U.S. might be
less likely to come forward
with negative experiences.
“Thinking about anti-
Asian violence as excep-
tionalism is something that
older immigrants have to do
as a way to survive,” Shankar
said. “They risk so much by
coming to this country. And
for those for whom things
go well, economically and
socially, in general, I think
that they feel a lot of grati-
tude toward this country.”

‘I’m trying to hang in there,’ says mom Community activist

of 13-year-old boy fatally shot by police struck by CTA bus
By Rosemary Sobol,
Jeremy Gorner and
Laura Rodríguez Presa
Chicago Tribune
The person fatally shot
by a Chicago police officer
early Monday during what
police said was an “armed
confrontation” has been
identified as a 13-year-old
boy, officials said.
Adam Toledo, of the
2700 block of South Millard
Avenue in Little Village,
died of a gunshot wound
to the chest, according to
Cook County medical exam-
iner’s office spokeswoman
Brittany Hill. Toledo was
pronounced dead at the
scene, and his death was
ruled a homicide.
Another representative
for the medical examiner’s
office said that according to
its records, the boy wasn’t
identified until Wednesday.
She would not say who iden-
tified him.
Toledo is the youngest
person to be fatally shot by
the Chicago police in years.
In a telephone interview
Thursday afternoon, the
boy’s mother, Elizabeth
Toledo, said no one has told
her about what happened to
her son early Monday morn-
ing.
“I’m trying to hang in
there. It’s hard,” she told the
Tribune in a distraught tone.
“I have lots of questions.”
The shooting happened
about 2:35 a.m. Monday,
near 24th Street and Sawyer
Avenue on the West Side,
according to police spokes-
man Tom Ahern and a police
media notification.
Ahern said police had
responded to the area
because of an alert from
ShotSpotter, the city’s
gunfire detection system.
“Officers observed two
subjects in a nearby alley,
one subject fled on foot
which resulted in an armed
confrontation,” Ahern
wrote. Both people were
male, and one of the two,
who was armed, “fled from
officers,” according to a

police media notification.
They were later identified
as Toledo and Ruben Roman
Jr., 21.
Police began running
after the person who fled,
and there was a “confronta-
tion in an alley” in the 2300
block of South Spaulding
Avenue.
The alley behind Farra-
gut Career Academy High
School, 2359 S. Spauld-
ing Ave., runs behind
the odd-numbered side
of Spaulding and the
even-numbered side of
Sawyer.
The confrontation ended
with an officer shooting the
armed male in the chest,
according to the media noti-
fication.
A firearm was found and
taken into evidence, accord-
ing to Ahern, who shared an
image on Twitter of a hand-
gun on the ground next to an
evidence marker.
Roman, of the 1400 block
of West Elmdale Avenue in
the Edgewater Glen neigh-
borhood, was taken into
custody and charged with
misdemeanor resisting or
obstructing a peace officer,
said Kellie Bartoli, a police
spokeswoman.
Elizabeth Toledo, 44, said
she last saw her son Sunday
during a gathering to memo-
rialize a relative who died a
few years ago. Adam Toledo
had attended Gary Elemen-
tary School in Little Village
and was in seventh grade,
she said.
“He was in school,” she
said. “He used to like bike
riding. He used to listen to
music.”
Adam Toledo had four
siblings, his mother said.
Elizabeth Toledo said she
didn’t know he was away
from home Sunday night
or early Monday. She said
she filed a missing person’s
report for her son and
believes that’s how police
contacted her.
She said she was making
funeral arrangements on
Thursday for her son. As for
the shooting, she said she
didn’t know anything about
her son having a gun.
“I want (to) know what
happened,” she said regard-
ing how her son died. “... He
was a little kid.”
The shooting was being
investigated by the Civilian
Office of Police Accountabil-
ity, which released a state-
ment on Thursday, saying
the bodycam video may not
be released because of the
Juvenile Court Act.
“Due to the age of the
victim, absent the issuance
of a court order and pursu-
ant to the Juvenile Court
Act (705 ILCS 405/5-905(5)),

OPENIKNG DAY

ment level is going to be way up
there for everybody.”
In a city where the two baseball
teams have each managed to win
just one World Series in the last
century-plus, opening day allows
fans a feeling of optimism. Hope, as
they say, springs eternal, however
long the historical odds.
And on Thursday — 550 days
since baseball fans were last able
to attend a regular-season game in
Illinois — the Cubs opener took on
a significance beyond the sport.
The 10,343 spectators got
a chance to reclaim a sense of
normalcy, even while seated in a
socially distant manner and watch-
ing their team lose 5-3 to the Pitts-
burgh Pirates in a game that lasted
four hours.
“I’m just happy to be back here
in the park,” said Jon Sternberg, a
Sandwich resident who bought a
ticket online for $115 to sit in the
farthest reaches of the upper deck.
With limited fans, the entrance
to the bleachers had no line for
most of the hour leading up to the
game. Though fans were given an
exact time to enter — as opposed to
a window — spectators were still
allowed inside if they showed up
early.
Outside the right-field entrance,
Teena Moore waited as her
boyfriend tried to download their
tickets onto his phone, a necessity
for fans this season with the Cubs
using only digital tickets.
Like many fans the Tribune
spoke with at the ballpark, Moore
said she already had been vacci-
nated and she wore two masks as
added insurance. She also thought
pod seating, cashless operations
and delivered concessions would
create a safe environment to watch
the game.
And a safer, if less raucous, envi-
ronment meant she wouldn’t have
to endure another season of spec-
tator-less baseball.
“It was horrible,” Moore said.
“To try to watch them on TV with-
out any fans was horrible, but I still
hung in there and I still watched
them because I’m a die-hard fan.”
Despite the fans’ return, proof
of the pandemic — and fears of
a resurgence — were evident
throughout the park.
In addition to the park giving
fans hand sanitizer and KN95
masks upon entry, 75% of the seats
had zip ties on them to create the
social-distancing requirements
mandated by Mayor Lori Light-
foot.
The mayor was there to assist
those throwing out the first pitch.
The well-known White Sox fan
was greeted with boos at the start
of the game in what has become a
traditional greeting for politicians
at both of the city’s ballparks.
Though the Cubs adopted new
protocols to foster a safer in-per-
son experience, the changes didn’t
make everything run smoother on
opening day. Multiple upper-deck
concession stands, for example,
were unable to sell grilled sausages
and Italian beef due to a computer
malfunction, a technology failure
that borders on unthinkable trag-
edy in Chicago.
Online concessions ordering
also proved so slow that many fans
gave up and walked to the counter
to order food, as if it was 2019.
When one Tribune reporter’s QR
code failed to load for his Italian
beef order, he tried to switching to
the ballpark’s Wi-Fi to get a faster
connection and, by extension, his
food.
“Don’t bother,” the sympathetic
woman behind the counter tolhim.
Western Springs resident gets to be a White Sox doctor, and fan
By Kimberly Fornek
Pioneer Press
Dr. Gregory Nicholson, who
has lived in Western Springs for
20 years, is ready for opening day
and so are the White Sox.
Nicholson, an orthopedic
surgeon with Midwest Orthopae-
dics at Rush, has been tending to
White Sox players’ injuries and
evaluations since 2004.
The team is “a thoroughbred
ready to run,” he said, the day
before the Sox open their 2021
season in California, playing the
Angels.
When Nicholson was a little
boy, his family moved often for
his father’s job, but eventually
settled in Indiana, where Nichol-
son rooted for the White Sox and
Chicago Bears.
So being one of the team physi-
cians is a privilege, he said. “I don’t
take it for granted.”
Nicholson is one of three or four
musculoskeletal doctors from
Midwest Orthopaedics who attend
spring training and every home
game during the season, along
with a primary care physician.
As soon as the team gives them
the schedule, the doctors decide
who will cover which games,
depending on their own schedules,

The same reporter ordered two
hot chocolates from the concession
delivery system, but when they
didn’t materialize after an hour,
he went in search of his drinks. He
eventually tracked down cocoa
vendor Mike Levy, who helpfully
located the system for the order
and then handed over two cups.
“This would be so much faster if
it were cash,” Levy said.
The Cubs said the technology
hiccups were to be expected upon
their inaugural run and the organi-
zation will address any problems.
“When rolling out any consumer
facing technology and then scaling
it to thousands of people to deliver
product in real time, you’re going
to face some challenges,” said
Julian Green, the team’s senior
vice president of communications.
“We’ll assess today’s perfor-
mance and pull it forward to the
next home game. The goal is to
keep improving the mobile tool.”
But for these few hiccups —
there was also at least one assigned
seat that had a zip tie on it when
the ticket holder arrived — fans
seemed overjoyed with opportu-
Nicholson said.
They are there
to diagnose and
treat any inju-
ries that occur,
and “give the best
advice possible,”
not only for the
Nicholson White Sox staff,
but also for the
visiting team, he said.
Pre-pandemic, the doctors had
seats behind the dugout where
they watched the games unless
it was cold or raining, when they
would stay in the training room.
This year, with limited fans spread
out in the ballpark, he is not sure
where he will be during the game.
If the Sox make it to the play-
offs, the doctors will travel to every
game, home and away, he said.
For spring training in Arizona
each year, “it’s all hands on deck,”
Nicholson said, especially the first
few days when the pitchers and
catchers report to training camp.
Everyone, including the coach-
ing staff, gets an entry physical, he
said.
During a game, the coaches may
not seem very active, but during
spring training and practice, “they
are pitching batting practice,
they are shagging fly balls, hitting
infield grounders,” Nicholson said.
nity to do something so, well, ordi-
nary again.
Louis Lee inherited his love for
baseball from his great-grand-
mother, whose husband played
in the Negro Leagues. When he
visited her house as a child, there
were only three things he could
watch on TV: “The Andy Griffith
Show,” the news or the Cubs.
Lee typically goes to at least 20
games a season, so not being able to
attend any games last year brought
“a little heartache, a little pain,” he
said.
“Everybody has their differ-
ent vices and all of that,” said Lee,
who requested off work Thursday
a month in advance. “One of mine
happens to be baseball. And every-
body who knows me knows, open-
ing day, you will not see me unless
you’re here with me.”
David Lukes attended his first
Wrigley Field opening day in 1971.
He came back for opening day the
next year. And the next.
On Thursday, the 76-year-
old Elk Grove Village resident
marked his 50th home opener.
For the first several years, Lukes
Injuries can occur during work-
outs, too.
When a player gets a major
injury, other doctors often get
involved, especially if a player
was with another team before the
White Sox.
“A player may already have
a relationship with another
doctor,” Nicholson said. “There’s
a lot of communication between
the doctors, the Sox training staff
and the player himself about his
treatment and recovery.” With
high paid athletes, “agents get
involved,” he said.
“There is a lot of money
involved,” Nicholson said. Profes-
sional athletes have only a short
window to play and earn their top
salaries. “We are very sensitive to
that.”
Michael Kopech, a pitcher with
a 100-mph fastball, for example, is
returning after missing the 2019
season recovering from elbow
surgery, known as Tommy John
surgery, and skipping the 2020
season for personal reasons.
Fans may wonder if the time off
will help or hurt his pitching abil-
ity.
“Is he going to be rusty or does
he have more bullets in the gun?”
Nicholson said. Time will tell,
but like most players, he has been

purchased haggled tickets outside
the ballpark before the game,
while his wife, Sharon, waited at
the McDonald’s across the street,
in case he got arrested and needed
her to bail him out. Now, he buys
the tickets in advance, she said.
One year, David Lukes had a
procedure three days before the
opener, leaving him with 40 staples
running up his abdomen. He said
his sons checked him out of the
hospital for the day and took him
to the game, where they watched
several innings before heading
back to the hospital.
“If he’s come in on a gurney
(for that previous home opener),
he’s not missing any of them,” said
Sharon Lukes, who added that
both she and her husband have
been fully vaccinated.
As giddy as fans seemed inside
the ballpark, people outside the
confines were equally as enthusi-
astic about the return of in-person
baseball.
Ridvan Mustafa has worked
for 25 years at the corner of Clark
Street and Waveland Avenue sell-
ing Cubs merchandise.
Without fans inside the park and
restrictions on local bars last year,
Wrigleyville was a “ghost town,”
Mustafa said.
He and his team set up the
merchandise stand, Clark Street
Sports, the first week of last year’s
season, but quickly “gave up”
because there were no one around.
The stand relied upon its mall loca-
tions to keep the business afloat.
“It was one of our worst years,”
Mustafa said. “Without fans, this
(merchandise) doesn’t do anything
for us.”
Thursday, however, was a differ-
ent story.
Even with the limited spectator
capacity, Mustafa said the atten-
dance “felt like a lot more.” Fans
were quick to snag a winter hat or
Cubs face mask before entering
the stadium or watch the game
outside, he said.
“There’s been a lot more traffic
today,” he said. “It’s a good thing.”
The bars around Wrigley also
appeared to be roaring back to life
working out all during the offsea-
son, Nicholson said.
“Throwing is a whole body act
that starts from your foot. As it
comes up through your leg, your
hips, your core, you are gathering
energy and imparting energy to
the ball. All that energy has to be
smoothly decelerated. It’s like you
are cracking a whip,” he said.
But baseball injuries occur in all
positions.
“We do exit physicals for all the
players in September,” Nicholson
said. With input from the doctors,
the training staff prepares a regi-
men of skills and strength and
conditioning exercises for each
player, based on what position
they play.
Nicholson believes caring for
major league athletes, who func-
tion at a higher level and make
more demands on their bodies
than a weekend athlete, makes him
a better physician to treat nonpro-
fessionals of all ages who play
sports in competition or for recre-
ation. He sees patients at Midwest
Orthopaedics offices in Oak Brook,
Oak Park and Chicago.
He also is a sports fan, having
played football, baseball and
tennis in high school, and coached
his own children in the Western
Springs Junior Football League.
after months of shutdowns and
crippling restrictions. The Cubby
Bear, Deuce’s, Murphy’s Bleach-
ers and Old Crow Smokehouse
all reached capacity before the
seventh-inning stretch.
Alex Quintanar, who came from
the suburbs with four friends,
stood in line at the Cubby Bear after
leaving Wrigley early because of
the cold. He praised the ballpark’s
COVID-19 protocols and said lines
moved quickly with the limited
crowd inside. (The game was still
considered a sellout because the
club sold all available seats.)
“It’s amazing to be back out
here,” he said. “Seeing the neigh-
borhood like this, it’s a beautiful
sight. It’s a piece of art.”
And, in another nod to normalcy,
the ballhawks crew gathered
Thursday afternoon at Waveland
and Kenmore avenues to chase
home run balls. The group now
includes Christopher Sorley, a
40-year-old Portage Park resident
some may remember as “Mai Tai
Guy.”
Sorley went viral in 2019 when
he was accused of swiping a
home run ball from two boys in
the bleachers, igniting the debate
about the etiquette of such situa-
tions.
That, of course, was the last
season Sorley was inside Wrigley
Field. He spent much of last year’s
shortened season hunting with the
other ballhawks outside the park.
Though he said he usually
attends about 50 games a year,
Sorley showed up on Waveland on
Thursday because opening-day
tickets were too expensive.
He said he has tickets for other
games in this homestand and he’s
hoping he’ll spend less time on the
street during games this season.
“It’s kind of getting back to
normal is really how I feel,” Sorley
said. “Getting back in the swing of
things, and hopefully by the play-
offs, if we make them, God will-
ing, we all can be in the ballpark
— 40,000 of us.”
Chicago Tribune’s Stacy St. Clair
and Paul Sullivan contributed.
His youngest daughter is pursu-
ing a career as a speech patholo-
gist, but none of his other three
children, who are all in their 20s,
followed him into medicine, he
said.
Although Nicholson also has
been a doctor for the Chicago Fire
soccer team, the Chicago Bulls and
DePaul University teams, he was
more interested in musculoskel-
etal care than sports medicine in
medical school at Indiana Univer-
sity and specifically, shoulders
during his internship and orthope-
dic residency at University Hospi-
tal of Cleveland.
At that time, in the 80s and early
90s, “there wasn’t a lot of exper-
tise in treating shoulder injuries,”
Nicholson said. “It wasn’t thought
of as a sports subspecialty. There
wasn’t the volume of knowledge”
that there was about other parts
of the body, he said. “I felt like I
wanted to concentrate on that.”
He has gone on to design instru-
ments and implants for shoulder
and elbow surgery, been a text-
book editor and published multi-
ple paper on treating shoulder and
elbow problems, Midwest Ortho-
paedics states on its website.
“It has been a fascinating and
rewarding field,” he said.

The rapid releases ease
pressure on the Border
Patrol and its overcrowded
holding facilities but shifts
work to Immigration and
Customs and Enforcement,
the agency that enforces
immigration laws within the
United States.
Families are released
with booking records; only
parents are photographed
and fingerprinted.
The Border Patrol began
the practice last week in
Texas’ Rio Grande Valley,
which has seen the biggest
increase in the number of
migrant families and unac-
companied minors crossing
the border. Last week, the
agency added instructions
to report to an ICE office
within 60 days to adults’
booking documents.
But some got no docu-
ments at all, including
dozens at Our Lady of
Guadalupe Catholic Church
in the Texas border city of
Mission, where about 100
migrants released by U.S.
authorities had been arriv-
ing each night to sleep on
mats in classrooms in a shut-
tered elementary school.

GOP’s McConnell
to oppose project
‘every step’ of way
By Josh Boak

WASHINGTON — Pres-
ident Joe Biden set about
convincing America it
needs his $2.3 trillion infra-
structure plan Thursday,
deputizing a five-mem-
ber “jobs Cabinet” to help
in the effort. But the enor-
mity of his task was clear
as Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell vowed to
oppose the plan “every step
of the way.”
Speaking in Kentucky,
McConnell said he person-
ally likes Biden and they’ve
been friends a long time.
But the president will get no
cooperation from the GOP,
which objects to the corpo-
rate tax increases in the plan
and says they would hurt
America’s ability to compete
in a global economy.
“We have some big phil-
osophical differences, and
that’s going to make it more
and more difficult for us
to reach bipartisan agree-
ments,” the Republican
leader said.

right,” Klain said in an inter-
view with the news organi-

what are the elements that

Those conversa-
tions could be limited to
Democrats as McConnell
declared: “I’m going to fight
them every step of the way.”
Biden told his Cabinet at
its first meeting that he is
enlisting several of them to
help with the push: Trans-

WASHINGTON — U.S.
health officials have autho-
rized two more over-the-
counter COVID-19 tests that
can be used at home to get
rapid results.
The move by the Food

experts have advocated

Customs and Border
Protection, which over-
sees the Border Patrol,
said it stopped issuing
court notices in some cases
because preparing even one
of the documents often takes
hours.

ground checks and are

The agency didn’t answer
questions about how many
migrants have been released

without documents at all.

back the plan.
It’s monitoring Wall
Street for any celebrations or
jitters. It’s forming alliances
with advocates, while deal-

corporate tax hikes and
project details. And Biden’s
administration also intends,
per the plan, to cajole other
nations to stop slashing their
own tax rates in what has
been a race-to-the-bottom
to attract and retain multi-
national businesses.
Biden’s vehicle for financ-

a key dividing line. Repub-
licans object to raising the
corporate tax rate to 28%
from 21%, one of the many
changes so that business
taxes would fund infrastruc-

Republicans had cut the
corporate rate from 35%
in 2017, a hallmark policy
achievement of Donald
Trump’s presidency.

The FDA said Abbott’s
BinaxNow and Quidel’s
QuickVue tests can now be
sold without a prescription.
Both tests were first OK’d
last year but came with
conditions that limited their
use, including prescription
requirements and instruc-
tions that they only be used
in people with symptoms.
The home tests allow

Immigration attor-

to people being released

the requirement to check

migrants to apply for a

one that’s only for people
already in the country. In
that option, they meet a

“It’s a whole different

director of Lawyers for
Good Government’s Project

And if they fail, they get “a
second bite at the apple”
before a judge.
Initially, U.S. authori-
ties didn’t even require the
ICE check-in when it began
releasing families without
court notices over the past
two weeks.
But they shifted course.
D’Cruz said ICE could
potentially issue a notice
to appear in court, expel
people from the country or
do nothing.
“There are so many
different options, and I
don’t know what’s going to

Capitol rioters’ regrets run amok
Some expressing

PHOENIX — The

photographed dangling by
one hand from the Senate’s
balcony during the Jan.
6 riot at the U.S. Capitol
turned himself in six days
later. While buckled in the
vehicle delivering him to
the Boise jail, Josiah Colt
made a video apologizing
and expressing shame for
storming the building.
Jacob Chansley, the
self-described QAnon
Shaman who posed for
photos on the Senate dais
while sporting face paint
and a furry hat with horns,
also lacks the enthusiasm
he once showed for the riot.
A month later, he wrote an
apology from jail.
Confronted with compel-
ling video and photographic
evidence in court, dozens
of rioters have apologized
and expressed regret as
the consequences of their
actions have started to
sink in. The ramifications
include potential job losses,
financial ruin and possible
time behind bars.
“This is going to have
consequences for these
people for the rest of their
lives — and it should,” said
John Flannery, a former
federal prosecutor and
Capitol Hill lawyer.

Last week a gunman
opened fire at a supermar-
ket in Boulder, Colorado,
and killed 10. A week before
that, six women of Asian
descent were among eight
people killed at three Atlan-

The suspect in the Cali-
fornia shooting was identi-
fied as Aminadab Gaxiola
Gonzalez, 44, of nearby
Fullerton. He was critically
wounded and it was unclear
whether he suffered a
self-inflicted wound or was
shot by police.
Police said Gonzalez
knew all the victims either
personally or through
business. They said rela-
tionships were still being
determined. No names of
the victims were released.
The shooting occurred
Wednesday in a two-story
building that houses a vari-
ety of businesses in Orange,
southeast of Los Angeles.
Police received multiple
reports of gunshots and
officers were on the scene
almost immediately, Orange
police Lt. Jennifer Amat
said.
Gunfire could be heard
as officers arrived. They
fired at the suspect from
before his arrest as he spoke
on the video, later posted by
KBOI-TV.
“I never intended to do
anything that would bring
a black eye to my family,

that he had received death

rioters sooner than others.

over within several minutes,
Amat said.
Police said the shooter
apparently targeted the
office suites of a company
called Unified Homes, a
mobile home brokerage.
Paul Tovar told KTLA-TV
that his brother owns the
company.
“He’s not answering his
phone, neither is my niece,”
Tovar said while anxiously
waiting outside the build-

really hard.”
Scott Clark, owner of
Calco Financial, said he’s
worked out of the build-

Unified Homes has been
in that location for seven or
eight years.
Clark said he’s chatted
with the owner, sometimes
inviting him inside his own
office to take a break.
“He works so hard. He’s
there day and night,” Clark
said. Since the pandemic
began, Clark said parents
would often bring their chil-
dren to work.
As a procession of riot-
ers ended up before federal
judges, some issuing apolo-
gies before they got to court,
it was impossible to discern
who was sincerely sorry and
who was expressing contri-
tion in a preemptive bid for
leniency from the court.
From behind bars after
his arrest in March and with
a bond hearing upcoming,
18-year-old rioter Bruno
Joseph Cua penned a letter
to his judge, assuring the
court he was regretful and
had been humbled by the
experience. “Lesson fully

wrote, according to court
documents.
Two months earlier Cua

on social media saying he’d

Firm in J&J vaccine mix-up
cited in past, records show
By Richard Lardner,
Jason Dearen and
Linda A. Johnson
Associated Press
The company at the
center of quality problems
that led Johnson & Johnson
to discard 15 million doses
of its coronavirus vaccine
has a string of citations from
U.S. health officials for qual-
ity control problems.
Emergent BioSolutions,
a little-known company
vital to the vaccine supply
chain, was a key to John-
son & Johnson’s plan to
deliver 100 million doses of
its single-shot vaccine to the
United States by the end of
May.
But the Food and Drug
Administration repeat-
edly has cited Emer-
gent for problems such as
poorly trained employees,
cracked vials and problems
managing mold and other
contamination around one
of its facilities, according
to records obtained by The
Associated Press through
the Freedom of Informa-
tion Act. The records cover
inspections at Emergent
facilities since 2017.
Johnson & Johnson said
Wednesday that a batch
of vaccine made by Emer-
gent at its Baltimore factory,
known as Bayview, cannot
be used because it did not
meet quality standards. It
was unclear how the prob-
lem would affect future
deliveries of J&J’s vaccine.
The company said in a state-
ment it was still planning to
deliver 100 million doses
by the end of June and was
“aiming to deliver those
doses by the end of May.”

though they may be in the

attack on what many regard
as the citadel of American
democracy, the sentiment
among prosecutors, judges
and the public at large, at
least for now, isn’t exactly
lenient.
To date, more than 300
Capitol Hill rioters have
been charged. Several are
accused of careful planning
and of coordinating the
attack. Most aren’t accused
of committing violence or
damaging property but of
walking past security lines

areas.
In most cases, there’s little
dispute those charged did

having provided evidence of
that themselves.

according to the records
obtained by the AP. The
FDA’s lead investigator
cited the company for fail-
ing to train employees “in
the particular operations
they perform as part of their
function and current good
manufacturing practices.”
The FDA’s inspection of
Emergent’s Bayview plant
also faulted the company
for a series of quality control
shortcomings, according to
the records. Although the
inspection was not trig-
gered by work on a COVID-
19 vaccine, the issues listed
by agency inspectors stand
out due to the large role
Emergent would soon have
to combat the pandemic.
The FDA criticized the
Bayview plant for failing to
ensure that electronic data
generated through testing
of drug ingredients “was
protected from deletion or
manipulation.”
Emergent also did not
follow proper testing and
lab procedures at Bayview,
the FDA said, noting that
“deviations from test meth-
ods are not investigated, and
are manually corrected days
after performance, with no
supporting data or docu-
mented justification.”
The FDA also criti-
cized Emergent for care-
lessness in the handling of

was included in the Jan. 16
complaint charging him.
Some rioters, several
speaking through attorneys,
have said they went along
with the flow of the mob and
gave little thought to what
they were doing.
James Rahm said in a
video statement before he
was charged that he knew
the second he stepped
across the threshold of
a Capitol door “the FBI
was coming for me.” The
61-year-old said he was
seized by the “passion of the
moment.”
Psychologists have long
observed how individuals
in frenzied crowds seem to
lose their sense of individual
responsibility and become
willing to engage in anti-so-
cial behavior they’d never
contemplate on their own.
But courts are unlikely
to allow lawyers to use the
psychology of crowds as
a defense at trial. It could
potentially be raised at
sentencing to try to explain
how those with no previous
criminal record ended up
breaking the law.
Among the most well-
known personalities in
the Capitol riot to issue
an apology is Chansley,
who stormed the building
while carrying a spear and
expressed his disappoint-
ment with Trump, who had
denied his pardon request.
In his apology, Chansley
asked for patience for him
and others who participated
because they were “having
a very difficult time piecing
together all that happened
to us, around us, and by us.”
“We are good people who
care deeply about our coun-
try,” Chansley wrote.

who denied Chansley’s bid
to be released from jail had
questioned whether the
Arizona man was still under
Trump’s spell.
observed items in a “reject
cage” that did not have
reject labels, and wrote that
“separate or defined areas
to prevent contamination or
mix-ups are deficient.”
The inspection was the
most recent in a series of
critical reports from the
FDA about Emergent,
including one following
a December 2017 inspec-
tion at a plant in Canton,
Massachusetts, in which
the FDA said the company
had not corrected “contin-
ued low level mold and
yeast isolates” found in the
facility.
In September 2018,
agency investigators ques-
tioned why Emergent had
“an unwritten policy of not
conducting routine compli-
ance audits” at a separate
plant in Baltimore, known
as Camden, where an
anthrax vaccine, BioThrax,
is filled into vials.
The FDA declined
requests to discuss the
inspections at Emergent’s
facilities.
Emergent spokesman
Matt Hartwig said the
company’s “rigorous qual-
ity checks” identified a
batch of drug substance
that did not meet its stan-
dards. “Discarding a batch
of bulk drug substance ...
does occasionally happen
during vaccine manufac-
turing, which is a complex
and multi-step biological
process,” he said.

CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK
Hope rises in a season of holy days
More services open
doors to worshippers
as vaccines take hold
By David Crary
and Mariam Fam
Associated Press
For Christians across the
country, Easter services
Sunday will reflect an
extra measure of joy as the
nation experiences rising
optimism after a year of
pandemic. Even if still
observing restrictions, many
churches may draw the larg-
est numbers of in-person
worshippers in months.
It’s a season of major
holy days for other faiths as
well, occurring in a brighter
mood than a year ago. Jews
are observing Passover this
week, and Muslims will
enter the holy month of
Ramadan in less than two
weeks.
In Houston, the Rev.
Meredith Mills is eagerly
anticipating a return to
in-person worship Sunday
in the sanctuary of West-
minster United Methodist
Church. Except for a few
Christmastime services that
drew a handful of people, the
church has been worship-
ping on its front lawn since
October.
“Many of our people are
two weeks past their second
shot of vaccine, so the
comfort level is a lot higher
now,” said Mills, who had
her own bout of COVID-19
in January. “It almost feels
like we’ve been in Lent for
a year, and we are ready for
Easter.”

Vaccine lag pushes France into 3rd lockdown
By Norimitsu Onishi
and Constant Meheut
The New York Times
PARIS — After more
than a year of lockdowns
and months of a sputter-
ing vaccination campaign,
Europe’s efforts to curb
the coronavirus pandemic
suffered another setback
this week as President
Emmanuel Macron of
France announced the start
of a third national lockdown
in a desperate move to halt a
new deadly wave.
With infections surg-
ing, hospitals swelling with
patients and the virus now
reaching into classrooms,
Macron effectively aban-
doned a monthslong gamble
to keep France open in the
hope that a steady pace of
vaccinations would make a
lockdown unnecessary.
Macron said that restric-
tions currently covering
about one-third of the coun-
try’s population would be
extended nationwide for
four weeks starting Satur-
day, and that schools would
be closed for at least three
weeks.
As the tally of coronavi-
rus deaths pushed relent-
lessly close to the 100,000
mark, and with the highly
transmissible variant first
detected in Britain now
accounting for two-thirds
of France’s new infections,
Macron gave in to scientists
and opposition politicians
who had been pressing
for a lockdown in recent
weeks, and joined the list of
European nations already
hunkering down before the
virus.
The decision on schools
— which France had
succeeded in keeping open
longer than other nations
and which the government
had showcased as the bright
spot in an otherwise trou-
bled handling of the virus
crisis and the vaccination
campaign — was a particu-
larly hard blow for Macron.
Though he and other
members of his government
had consistently described
closing schools as a measure

At Saint Ambrose Cath-

“Across our world we
have all experienced a year

difficult and challenging
year, we are ready to walk

of last resort, the president
announced Wednesday
that, after the Easter holi-
day, primary schools would
close for three weeks, and
that middle and high schools
would close for four weeks.
“We have kept them open
since September 2020,”
Macron said, referring to
the schools. “France is one
of the few countries that
have made this choice while
being hit hard by the virus.”
Exhorting the French to
keep making efforts, Macron
said that the goal was to have
all adults vaccinated by the
end of the summer “because
it is the key to reconnect
with life, the key to reopen
our country.”
Macron’s announcement
reversed the stance he had
taken since early this year.
In late January, even
as neighboring countries
were applying restrictive
measures and his own scien-
tific advisers were advising
him to do the same, Macron
rejected a new national lock-
service Sunday for up to
200 worshippers — 40% of
capacity — and an outdoor
service that can be heard
over parishioners’ car
radios.
“Everyone wants to be
back ... but some chose not
to out of caution,” the Rev.
William Schipper said.
Rabbi Jonathan Perlman
of New Light Congrega-
tion in Pittsburgh said the
Passover holiday has strong
parallels to the pandemic in
that “it was first celebrated
in quarantine,” after God
ordered Israelites in Egypt
to shelter in their homes
through the night.
“Now we know that many
of us took shelter in homes
for an entire year; travel
was forbidden; meeting
in person in large groups
violated basic principles of
health,” Perlman said via
email. “For me, like my Isra-
down.
That strategy seemed to
be working.
But by mid-March, infec-
tions rose sharply and the
vaccination campaign failed
to gather speed, amid the
disarray of the rollout of the
AstraZeneca vaccine.
Both political opponents,
with an eye on the presiden-
tial election scheduled for
next year, and some scien-
tists said he had “lost his
gamble.’’
Bruno Cautres, a politi-
cal scientist at the Center
for Political Research at
Sciences Po in Paris, said the
handling of the coronavirus
crisis had become a political
challenge for Macron, who
has long promised to make
government effective and
who had “taken personal
responsibility’’ in opposing
a third national lockdown.
“What appears today is,
on the contrary, the idea of a
head of state who plays it by
ear and who doesn’t really
know where he’s going,”
elite ancestors, there was
something transformative
about the entire experience.
... The vaccination felt like a
gift from God.”
Perlman has been offer-
ing services virtually and
in person at a chapel in
the Beth Shalom syna-
gogue. New Light formerly
worshipped at the Tree of
Life synagogue, where three
members of its congregation
were among 11 Jews killed
by a gunman in 2018.
Rabbi Motti Seligson of
the Hasidic organization
Chabad-Lubavitch said
many U.S. Jews held Pass-
over Seders in small groups
due to the pandemic. There
was unexpectedly large
demand online for the
Chabad.org Haggadah, a
new instructional version
of the sacred text for the
start of Passover — that was
designed for small Seders,
Cautres said. “The judgment
that the French will make of
the handling of the crisis will
be the pillar of the 2022 elec-
tion.’’
Amid increasingly dire
warnings from health offi-
cials, France on Tuesday
reported more than 5,000
people in intensive care
units for the first time since
last April.
Over the past week,
France recorded an aver-
age daily tally of more than
38,000 new cases, nearly
triple the number three
months earlier.
Macron’s bet that tight
restrictions were not needed
appeared to be based on an
efficient vaccine campaign
that never materialized.
France, like most of the
European Union, lags far
behind some other countries
in inoculating its people.
French health authori-
ties said Wednesday that
about 8.5 million people had
received at least a first shot
of a COVID vaccine, or about
with about 300,000 down-
loads instead of the expected
100,000, he said.
Ramadan, a time for fast-
ing and worship, is typically
centered on togetherness
as Muslims congregate
for prayers and iftars, or
evening meals to break
the daily fast. Last year the
pandemic forced Muslims to
re-imagine some rituals, and
some will continue to do so
this Ramadan.
Salima Suswell, founder
and executive director of
the Philadelphia Ramadan &
Eid Fund, said it is partner-
ing with mosques to provide
“grab-and-go” iftars three
days a week. For the feast at
the end of Ramadan, it will
distribute toys and decora-
tions to help families cele-
brate privately.
“We want to make fami-
lies aware that there is a way
to still enjoy the benefits of
13% of the total population.
Britain has vaccinated
46% of its population, and
the United States 29%,
according to data from The
New York Times.
Macron has argued that
his decision in January had
not been wrong because
it had not led to the explo-
sion of cases that had been
predicted.
“I can state that I don’t
have any mea culpas,’’ he
told a French newspaper
Sunday.
Antoine Flahault, the
director of the Institute
of Global Health at the
University of Geneva, said
the French government
had generally followed the
advice of scientists until late
January.
But, on Jan. 29, Macron
rejected the advice of his
own scientific council — a
government body that the
president had set up last
year to advise him on coro-
navirus issues and that had
pressed for a strict four-
the holy month of Ramadan,
while safely social distanc-
ing at home,” Suswell said.
At the Muslim Associ-
ation of Puget Sound in
Redmond, Washington,
worshippers may again
gather to perform Rama-
dan’s taraweeh prayers
after being unable to do so
in 2020.
“A lot of people are
really excited,” said Sheikh
Adam Jamal, assistant
imam. “There’s people,
seniors, who probably have
been doing taraweeh (at a
mosque) every year since
they were young. ... They’ve
missed it for a year — that
was just devastating.”
However, capacity will
be limited at the mosque.
People can also drive by to

week lockdown.
Flahault said that despite
the government’s decision
to keep things open, no new
measures were put in place
to prevent a new surge.
“For the entire month of
February, there’s going to
be an absence of goals, an
absence of real strategy,’’ he
said.
The government
responded to the worsening
situation in mid-March with
new restrictions on certain
regions, affecting a third
of the population. Busi-
nesses considered nones-
sential were forced to close,
people’s outdoor activities
were limited and travel to

was banned.

reflected the reality that, in
France’s system of govern-
ment, power is concentrated
in the hands of the president.
As in previous key
moments in the pandemic,
rumors had circulated
for days before Macron’s
Wednesday speech, with
ministers admitting, albeit
anonymously, to the French
news media that they had no
idea what measures would
be implemented.
In recent months, the
Elysee has tried to finesse
Macron’s handling of the
virus crisis, distancing him
when trouble has emerged
and moving him closer
when things have looked up.
That strategy has some-
times taken on strange
twists, as when his entou-
rage this week seemed to
try to fend off criticism that
Macron had ignored the
advice of epidemiologists.
The president was much
less dependent on experts
than he had been a year
earlier, they said, because
he had studied and read so
much on the virus.
“The president has
acquired a real expertise
on issues of health,’’ his
national education minis-
ter, Jean-Michel Blanquer,
was quoted as saying in Le
Monde. “It’s not an inacces-
sible subject for an intellect
like his.”

NEWS BRIEFING
Myanmar marks 2
months since military
ousted Suu Kyi in coup
From news services
YANGON, Myanmar
— Protesters in Myan-
mar on Thursday marked
two months since the mili-
tary seized power by again
defying the threat of lethal
violence and demonstrat-
ing against its toppling of
the country’s democratically
elected government.
Security forces have been
unable to crush the massive
public resistance to the Feb.
1 coup despite their use of
escalating violence, includ-
ing routinely shooting
protesters. International
efforts including sanctions
imposed by Western nations
on the military regime have
failed to restore peace.
In Yangon, the coun-
try’s biggest city, a group
of young people gathered
shortly after sunrise Thurs-
day to sing songs honoring
the more than 500 protest-
ers killed so far. They then
marched through the streets
chanting slogans calling
for the fall of the junta, the
release of deposed leader
Aung San Suu Kyi and the
return of democracy.
Protests were also held in
Mandalay and elsewhere.
The demonstrations
followed a night of violence
including police raids and
several fires.
In Yangon, several retail
shops owned in whole or
part by Myanma Economic
Holdings Ltd., an invest-
ment arm of the military,
went up in flames.
The crisis in the Southeast
Asian nation has expanded
sharply in the past week,
both in the number of
protesters killed and with
military airstrikes against
the guerrilla forces of the
Karen ethnic minority in
their homeland along the
border with Thailand.

for Myanmar warned the

London officer convicted:
An officer in London’s main
police force was convicted
Thursday of being a member
of a banned neo-Nazi group,
his force said, becoming the
first British police officer to
be convicted of a terrorism
offense, according to the
BBC and other British news
sources.
Benjamin Hannam, 22,
a probationary police offi-
cer who applied to the
London force, the Metro-
politan Police, in 2017 and
joined it in early 2018, was
found guilty of member-
ship of a banned organiza-
tion — the neo-Nazi group
National Action — as well
as two counts of fraud by
false representation and
two counts of possession of
document likely to be of use
to a terrorist, the police said
in a briefing.
The fraud charges related
to lying on application forms
for his police position, local
media at a court in London
reported.
Hannam demonstrated an
“adherence to fascist ideol-
ogy and a potentially veiled
but nonetheless evident
neo-Nazi mindset,” the pros-
ecutor, Dan Pawson-Pounds,
said, according to The Inde-
pendent, adding that he had
met with people at National
Action events even after the
group had been banned.
The group, which praised
the murder of a British
lawmaker, Jo Cox, was
outlawed in December 2016.
The trial began in March,
but the court had banned
reporting of its details to
avoid a risk of biasing future
jurors in a separate case
against Hannam, according
to local media.

Russia recalled its ambas-

“I do.”
On Thursday, Russian

Moscow to rethink its ties
with Washington.
Lavrov also voiced
regret about Washington’s
rejection of Putin’s offer
to arrange a quick public

defuse the tension over the
remarks.
“The confrontation has

has signed legislation to end
long-term solitary confine-

day.
Under the new law, pris-
ons and jails will not be
allowed to hold inmates in
solitary confinement for
more than 15 consecutive
days. Solitary confinement
will be banned entirely for
several categories of prison-
ers including minors, people
over 55, pregnant inmates

The legislation, which

said vaccines “present
our best way out of this
pandemic,” but noted that
to date, only 10% of Europe’s
population has received one
dose and that only 4% have
been fully protected with
two doses.
“As long as coverage
remains low, we need to
apply the same public health
and social measures as we
have in the past, to compen-
sate for delayed schedules,”
Kluge said.
Even those numbers hide
the true scope of the prob-
lems facing the European
Union’s 27 nations, where
only about 5.6% of its people
have had a first vaccine shot,
according to the bloc. In
Britain, that figure is 46% of
its population.
Kluge warned European
governments against having
“a false sense of security” for
having started their immu-

noted that Europe remains
the second-most affected
region in the world in terms
of new coronavirus infec-

After that second dose of
vaccine, what comes next?
John Kass
After receiving my second
coronavirus vaccine shot on
Thursday, I thought I could feel
the onset of the dreaded reac-
tion I’d read about: I thought so
because my hair was starting
to hurt.
It’s always a signal. Call me
weird. But my hair always
hurts just before I get flu-like
symptoms like the kind I’d read
about. Every time I get sick,
first it’s the hair. Then come the
aches, the shivering chills, the
sweats, and Betty starts chas-
ing me around the house with
chamomile tea.
I hate store-bought chamo-
mile tea. It only works if picked
by hand from the side of the
mountain, and then only by an
authentic wrinkled old yia-yia
dressed completely in black.
The store-bought stuff is weak
sauce.
I’d rather have whiskey.
“Your hair’s hurtin’?” said the
nice woman who jabbed me in
the arm at Walgreens. “You said
your hair’s hurtin’?”
I think so, I whispered, as we
sat behind the privacy screen,
me telling her that the hurtin’
hair is a signal my body sends
me at the beginning of flu-like
symptoms.
“Well, I just gave you the
shot 20 seconds ago, literally
20 seconds,” she said. “If your
hair is hurting already, it’s all in
your head. I never heard of the
hair-hurting thing. Is that real?”
That’s my truth, I said. My
truth!
Nowadays, truth is relative
and feelings count far more
than reason. Everything is
about feelings. We only refer to
science when it might advance
our political arguments. So all
you have to do is say “that’s
my truth” to someone and the
argument stops. Because feel-
ings.
But we weren’t having a real
argument. And she was a very
pleasant person, though paid
to jab arms all day. She told
me that years ago, her mother
owned a South Side soul food
restaurant. I told her about
Priscilla’s on West Roosevelt
Road, where I was going after
this second injection to cele-
brate my freedom from all
those coronavirus Karens, if I
didn’t die first from the shot.
“You’re not going to die,” she
said.
Certainly hope not, I said.
But I’d read about bad reac-

Mary Murtaugh is a recently
retired nurse who says she has
never been shy about promoting
good health. She wasn’t shy the
day she asked her favorite grocery
store cashier if she’d been vacci-

The cashier was emphatic. No.
And she wasn’t going to be. After
listening to the cashier explain
that she’d had a bad reaction to a
flu shot, Murtaugh persisted.
“I told her that I would
be worried if she contracted
COVID,” Murtaugh says, and the
clerk promised to think about it.
Promising to think about some-
thing is often no more than a
polite deflection. But the cashier
did think about it. She later
reported she’d gotten two doses
of the Pfizer vaccine and thanked
Murtaugh for the “gentle push.”
“Sometimes,” Murtaugh says,

other scary coronavirus fear
stories we’ve been fed 24/7 for

tant to get a vaccine can be like
trying to garden in the Sahara.
When I asked people on Face-
book how they’ve handled
vaccine resistance among their
friends and family, they cataloged
the pushback they’d received, a
mishmash of fear and fantasy:
Needles hurt. COVID-19 is a
Democratic hoax. The vaccines
are a government conspir-
acy. They’re made of synthetic
materials and we shouldn’t put
synthetic materials into our
bodies. The government is using
vaccines to insert nanoprobes
into our arms.
One woman lamented that an
old high school friend wouldn’t
get vaccinated because during
a visit to the beauty salon she’d
heard about a man in Poland who
dropped dead upon receiving the
shot.
It’s tempting to generalize
about vaccine resisters, but they
don’t all fall into neat categories.
One conservative-voting man I
know has gotten the vaccine, but
his adult children refuse to.
Dragana Laky’s dad didn’t fall
into a neat category either.
“To my great and unpleasant
surprise,” Laky says, “my father

Her father is 77, and she

Chicago. It’s in our

keep trying to persuade
the vaccine hesitant.
“although, or because, he’s

a physician. One of his daughters
is a physician. Eventually, after
Laky, her mother and sister talked
to him separately, he relented.
“He got his first Pfizer shot the

key was toning down our outrage
and blame game and going the

the privacy screen where she
was administering a vaccine to
someone else.
Not yet, I said. But it proba-
bly will.
And I waited. But I lived.
There were a few of us wait-
ing the required 15 minutes or
so to make sure we didn’t have
resistance.
It worked for Tom Dore, too,
when someone close to him
refused a second shot after a bad
reaction to the first.
“I told him about the science
that I’d read about, and made all
the rational arguments,” Dore
says. They argued politics. The
resister resisted. Then said he’d
think about it. And eventually
gave in.
Another victory, but, Dore
adds, “It was a hell of a struggle.”
Vaccines, like politics, can drive
wedges between people in any
country. My Facebook friend
Bor Greiner lives in Slovenia. He
has a friend who’s a nurse. He’s
pro-vaccine. She isn’t.
“Even though I tried to
emphasize her responsibility as
a role model in our not-so-big-
of-a-town,” he says, “she firmly
drawed the line, grasping for: My
life, my choice. What I walked
away with is that on Facebook I
would probably snooze her for 30
days while in real life she remains
my dear friend.”
Most of the people I’m close to
have been eager for a vaccine. The
exception was my youngest sister,
Gina. Gina lives alone. She doesn’t
a bad reaction, and as we stood
there with our masks on, we
chatted about how we’d live
now that we’d taken the second
shot. And if we should apply for
vaccine passports or simply ask
our political leaders for tattoos
inked into our foreheads.
I announced that I planned
to use my COVID-19 vaccina-
tion card as voter identification
so that I might vote by mail in
Georgia.
“I don’t think that’ll work,”
said the pharmacist.
There was a woman wearing
a polo shirt — one that adver-
tised a real polo club — who had
just returned to Illinois from a
long stay in Georgia. A former
neighbor of mine from when
we lived in the western suburbs
recognized me, even with my
mask on. Others joined in.
They all agreed that I could
not vote by mail in Georgia.
And they didn’t feel all that
good. It wasn’t COVID-19. It
was their property taxes and
the repressive nature of Illinois
politics.
“You don’t want to know the
difference in taxes,” said the
woman who’d just come back
from Georgia. “It’ll make you
sick.”
“I paid off my house a few
years ago, but now, with the
taxes, I feel I’m just renting it
from the government,” said the
former neighbor.
Those of us lucky to get
that second dose might not be
free of politics, but we can tell
ourselves we’re free of COVID-
19. And now that we’re vacci-
nated, we can walk outside
without masks and even pick
up after our dogs without
masks if we so choose. But
WWFS? What Would Fauci
Say?
He says so many things.
And so do the others. And we
wonder: Will it ever change?
Will the culture of fear in this
lockdown state ever subside?
Will the vaccinated feel free
enough to walk outdoors with-
out masks? Or have Americans
been beaten down so thor-
oughly that we’ll put on multi-
ple masks so as not to get yelled
at?
The scientists and political
lockdown artists will always
want us covered up. They warn
of new variants of the virus. All
this has given them something
they never thought they could
achieve — power. And now that
they have it, they won’t let it go.
My hair hasn’t really started
hurting. But I do feel a pain in
my gut, remembering who we
were, and what many of us have
become.

Combating dollars on improving infrastruc-

plastic crisis
The Tribune recently
published online an excellent
wire story about the problem of
plastics, “Mississippi River cities
join project to map plastic pollu-
tion: ‘It’s literally choking our
oceans’ ” (March 4). Plastics are
also being dumped into our Great
Lakes at the rate of 22 million
tons each year. They infiltrate our
lives through water, air and soil
and have serious consequences
for human and animal health in
addition to choking our environ-
ment.
Plastic, which is created from
fossil fuels, also contributes to
climate change at every step of
its life cycle, from extraction to
refinement, manufacture, trans-
portation, disposal and waste.

Biden’s skewed
priorities
The Biden administration
plans to open eight new emer-
gency sites holding 15,000 beds in
non-Health and Human Services
facilities for migrant children at
the southern border at a cost of
$775 per child per day.
While approximately 40,000
U.S. veterans remain homeless,
the children of migrants who do
not respect our immigration laws
will get accommodations costing
more than a night at a fine resort
or hotel.

Savvy CEOs at leading compa-

vote in school board races

Usually, school board elec-
tions garner as much atten-
tion as a lecture on the life and
times of Cyrus McCormick. (He
invented the reaper). That’s the
unfortunate reality behind local
elections. Since 2013, turnout
in local elections has dropped
across the Chicago suburban
landscape. In Kane County in
April 2019, turnout in local elec-
tions dipped to a nadir of 9.9%.
In McHenry County, even worse
— 9.7%.
This spring could be different.
COVID-19, which has upended
just about everything in our
lives, has seeped into upcoming
school board elections across
the Chicago region as a domi-
nant issue. Challengers, many
of them parents who want their
schools reopened, have lit a fire
under dozens of school board
contests. School districts are
reporting a ramp-up in first-
time candidates. Voters steamed
about how districts handled
pandemic school closures,
together with those wary of
premature reopening, could
trigger a major uptick in turnout
on Tuesday.
Given the abysmal track record
for turnout in local elections,
any improvement is welcome.
But why does it take a pandemic
to get parents and taxpayers
engaged in one of the most
important ballot decisions
voters face — who should over-
see the school districts that
educate their children and the
property tax dollars that support
them?
We’d guess not many Illinois-
ans have been to a school board
meeting. If you did attend at
some point, you likely would see
votes taken on issues that matter
in a big way: annual signoff of
the budget and other day-to-day
expenses; textbook and curric-
ulum changes; the hiring and
firing of school district super-
intendents and their expen-
sive contracts; school calendar
changes and more.
What happens when voters
make poor choices in school
board elections — or get disen-
gaged altogether? Rewind to
2017, when the feds indicted
the former superintendent
of Lincoln-Way High School
District 210, Lawrence Wyllie,
on fraud and embezzlement
charges. Wyllie is accused
of taking $50,000 in school
district money for the construc-
tion of his own dog obedience
school on district property. He
also allegedly took an extra
$16,500 in taxpayer money
to give himself a “retirement
stipend,” and pocketed $14,000
in district funds by explaining
it as compensation for unused
vacation days. He also is accused
of fraudulently inflating the
district’s financial outlook by
using bond funds to pay for
operating expenses, which
created an additional $7 million
in debt for the southwest subur-
ban school district.
All of this allegedly happened
under the noses of elected
school board members, one of
whom referred to Wyllie at one
point as an “absolute genius in
school financing.”
Need a reason to vote in
school board elections on Tues-
day? Remember Lincoln-Way. In
2017 when Wyllie was indicted,
we wrote: “There’s also a crucial
lesson here for taxpayers. It’s
their money that’s getting pock-
eted in these scandals, their
kids’ education that’s at stake,
and their votes that can make all
the difference between a school
board member who cares and
one who couldn’t care less.”
Wyllie pleaded not guilty to
the charges and his case has
been continued numerous times.
It’s on the shoulders of voters
to not only show up to the
polls on Election Day but to
research candidates before-
hand. It’s not enough to pick
a name that sounds nice, or to
shrug and blindly check the
names of incumbents, election
after election. It’s not enough to
assume that if the teachers union
endorsed candidates, that must
mean they’re qualified. Teachers
unions have their own skin in the
game when it comes to having
allies on the school board; those
interests often lie more with
teacher pay and benefits — your
future property tax bill — than
outcomes for kids.
So, here’s hoping local elec-
tions on Tuesday, which include
municipal, park and library
district, school board and town-
ship races, improve on the
dismal turnouts seen across the
suburbs in 2019: suburban Cook
County, 14%; DuPage County,
14.8%; Lake County, 11.1%;
Will County, 13.1%; and as we
mentioned, Kane County, 9.9%;
and McHenry County, 9.7%.
Remember, your tax money is
at stake, and so is the education
of your children.

Help is on the way, but we as
citizens must act. Congress has
an opportunity to address the
climate crisis and the plastic
pollution crisis by passing the
new Break Free From Plastic
Pollution Act of 2021, which
builds on state laws across
the country and outlines plas-
tic reduction strategies that
place the onus on the fossil fuel
industry and plastic producers
to realize a healthier and more
sustainable future.

Plastic Reduction strongly urges
our lawmakers in Washington to

ABOUT COVID AND CHOICE EDITORIAL CARTOON

Schools are designed to teach students, but ever since

the pandemic hit, it’s been parents who have learned some
hard lessons. They may welcome the fact that districts are
finally beginning to open up, but many are also taking a
more active role in their children’s education. And states
have been responding, with multiple legislatures under-
taking one of the biggest expansions of school choice in
history.
„„West Virginia. On March 29, Gov. Jim Justice signed
into law the most expansive school choice program in the
country, a nearly universal option for education savings
accounts.
„„Kentucky. The state legislature overrode Gov. Andy
Beshear’s veto of a bill to create the Bluegrass State’s first
school choice program — tax credit-funded education
savings accounts.
„„South Dakota. On March 18, Gov. Kristi Noem signed
into law an expansion of South Dakota’s tax credit schol-
arship program.
„„Georgia. Gov. Brian Kemp will soon have on his desk a
bill that expands eligibility for the state’s existing voucher
program for students with special needs.
„„Florida. The Legislature is considering a proposal
to consolidate the state’s five existing school choice
programs into two streamlined education savings account
options.
„„Arizona. The Legislature is considering an expansion of
the state’s existing education savings account program to
include students who attend a low-income school.
… These measures are a swift rebuke to the teachers
unions, which have not only stood in the way of education
access during the pandemic, but have been the primary
obstacles to education choice for decades.

OPINION

People in support of transgender rights rally outside the Alabama State House in Montgomery on March 30. NICOLE CRAINE/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Trans bans in sports pose a harder question

than most advocates are willing to admit
Eric Zorn
When it comes to youth sports, how
should we define “girl”?
I posed this question via email this
week to the National Center for Trans-
gender Equality because I’m trying
to sort out my thoughts on this spate
of new and proposed laws around the
country aimed at compelling trans-
gender athletes to identify as the
gender they were assigned at birth for
purposes of athletic competition.
For example, under these proposals,
trans girls would be restricted to play-
ing on boys teams.
It’s undeniable that many of the
backers of these laws are social
conservatives contemptuous of
transgender people, dubious of the
phenomenon and fearful that the blur-
ring of gender lines will lead to social
decay. They are the same people, in
many cases, who are also pushing state
bans on medical interventions for
minors that help trans kids live in their
new identities.
These dark motivations aside,
however, it’s also undeniable that
those born male — and particularly
those who go through male puberty
— have a significant average advan-
tage in most sports over those born
female. Boys tend to be bigger, faster
and stronger than girls, which is why
we separate the sexes for most athletic
contests after elementary school.
And so it’s not objectively unreason-
able, hateful or transphobic to want to
preserve that separation and the divid-
ing line that makes it possible.
How do we do that?
“It’s really pretty straightforward,”
replied David Farmer, the press
contact for the National Center for
Transgender Equality. “Transgender
girls are girls, and transgender boys
are boys. “
I’m in agreement with that in nearly
all ways. Trans people deserve not just
full rights but full respect and all the
accommodations society can reason-
ably muster. I trust medical decisions
to them and, when they are minors, to
their parents. Honoring their identify
preferences — including pronouns —
is basic human decency.
But when it comes to athletics, the
broad, preemptive argument that
saying you’re a girl makes you a girl
isn’t persuasive or rooted in science.
Which is why the culture-war cry
“Save Girls Sports!” affixed to many
of these bills seems to be gaining trac-
tion, with legislation introduced this
year in 25 states ostensibly aimed at
“protecting the integrity” of female-
only competition.
Opponents argue that these bills are
a solution in search of a problem. Less
than 2% of high school students iden-
tify as transgender. Boys are not show-
ing up at girls tryouts simply to game
the system. Gender transitioning is not
a lark boys undertake so they can fill
trophy cases.
In our correspondence, Farmer
compared the proposals to efforts to
restrict voting opportunities based on
phantom claims of widespread voter
fraud, to the so-called bathroom bills
that were based on wholly imaginary
fears that male predators claiming to
be women would use public restrooms
as venues for assault, and to claims
that legalizing same-sex marriage
would lead to schools teaching chil-
dren to be gay.
Backers of the restrictive trans-
sports bills point to isolated examples
of athletes who formerly identified
as male and had far greater success
in competition after transitioning to
female.
“Imagine it is your girl who is
denied a victory she has earned,”
wrote Bianca Stanescu in USA Today
last year. Her op-ed was based on a
lawsuit filed on behalf of her daughter
and others on her school track team
alleging biological males edged them
out for qualifying spots in a regional
meet. “Imagine your daughter, who
works day and night to shave off mere
fractions of a second, is denied a win
or a college scholarship — all because
she has to compete against boys who
identify as girls.
“And imagine,” she added, in a
reference to the hostility that greets
any questioning of liberal orthodoxy
on transgender issues, “your child is
marginalized and ridiculed just for
raising questions.”
OK, but imagine that you have a
trans daughter with utterly average
physical skills who finds friendship,
camaraderie and fitness opportunities
in school or club sports, as most kids
do. Imagine telling her she has to quit
or undergo the confusing and possibly
damaging experience of identifying
as a boy if she wants to keep playing
just because, somewhere, there are
trans girls excelling due to a biologi-
cal advantage gained from growing up
with male hormones.
“Transgender kids want to play
sports for the same reason as other
kids,” Farmer wrote. “Because it’s fun,
because you can learn important life
lessons about teamwork and because
it can help to build self-esteem. A
(transgender) seventh-grader hoping
to play on her school’s softball team
isn’t seeking some kind of advantage.
She’s hoping to play softball as who
she really is.”
As to defining “girl,” Farmer pointed
me to NCAA and International Olym-
pic guidelines on transgender female
athletes — both of which require
sustained medical treatments to lower
levels of testosterone to help level
the playing field — but he declined to
suggest a best-practices standard for
youth sports, saying it would require
“a very nuanced answer.”
Let’s look for one. Creating reason-
able, highly specific gender identity
guidelines for sports is likely the key to
winning the support of those who are
sympathetic to trans rights but who
are inclined to back the restrictive
proposals based on a good faith inter-
est in fairness in girls athletics.
A lot of extraordinary kids with
ordinary hopes and dreams are count-
ing on it.

No wrecking ball can touch our family memories

By Karen Anderson
Another old house was razed in Chicago.
One of many the city has lost to floods, fires
and now, ubiquitously, wrecking crews
sent by savvy developers.
The light blue Victorian two-flat was
bulldozed with little fanfare. Crowds did
not gather to lament a lost piece of history.
No one protested. Few knew the former
inhabitants or the story of the immigrant
family that purchased the original gray
painted lady back in 1886 and resided there
for four generations, until 1972.
Nor did anyone know there was an attic
hideaway, painted and wallpapered by
two young sisters, who thought of it as a
haven from the outside world from a stock
market crash and the Great Depression. No
one in the neighborhood knows that the
granddaughter, whose bedroom was on the
second floor, sat at the window seat during
winter, scratching etchings into the single-
pane frosted window while listening to
muffled clangs of the streetcar from Clark
Street and the foghorn bellowing in from
Lake Michigan.
In its final years, up until its demise
on March 26, 825 W. Buckingham
Place was, well, out of place and time.
Wedged between goliath brick multifam-
ily complexes, the home was set farther
back from the street. Prettier and more
ornate than its dull, hulking block mates,
the house looked fragile, like it was being
taunted, bullied by its bulkier neighbors in
a game of Squeeze the Lemon.
She held her own. But with no dramatic
escape, as in the movie “Up,” the old gal
was delivered a knockout blow by a yellow
Kobelco excavator. My sister Darlene was
there to snap pictures, salvage pieces of
exterior trim and send my mom, my sister
Sandy and me texts with updates and
photos of the demolition.
My mother, Gale Ann Barnes Ander-
son McKinley, lived in that house. Her
great-grandfather Edward O’Dea, an Irish
immigrant laborer from County Galway,
purchased the home from Clarence Buck-
ingham and the Baird & Bradley Real
Estate and Loan Agency. At the time my
mother moved in, she was 7 years old, sent
to live with her Nana, Irma Roach O’Dea,
because her mother, Frances (Nancy)
O’Dea Barnes, had died delivering her
third child.
Gale Barnes attended Our Lady of
Mount Carmel school, an eight-minute
walk, just around the block on Belmont
Avenue. She lived in the same bedroom her
late mother grew up in, played games with
the neighborhood children and frolicked in
the vacant lot next door.
“I was just thinking about that place
and the good times living there,” my mom
said to my sisters and me via text. “It was a
classy house for the age. I often thought of

living back there.”
Her father died of a stroke in the 1960s,
months before I was born. She married,
divorced, worked as a secretary while rais-
ing four kids, remarried, became a widow,
lost her baby sister, Nancy, seven years ago
and most recently lost her brother, Mike.
She’s endured two knee replacements,
several spine surgeries, ankle surgeries,
atrial fibrillation and debilitating arthritis.
Stoic beyond reason, my mom is the most
optimistic, kindest soul I know. But the
isolation is wearing on her, on us all.
Having seen her only once since Christ-
mas, at her suburban condo outside on
the deck or just inside as I stood near the
open patio door, I realize I have taken my
82-year-old mother and her stories for
granted over the years. During the COVID-
19 pandemic I’ve kept my distance, dread-
ing that I’d unknowingly infect her. I have
missed seeing her and hearing her tales in
person. And when we’re both fully vacci-
nated, I plan to plop right next to her on
the sofa, flipping through photo albums,
listening to more stories from her life. Her
generation has unfairly borne the brunt of
this pandemic, leaving so many families
with stories that will no longer be told by
those who lived them.
The old lady at 825 W. Buckingham
Place will be missed by only a small few,
and soon forgotten when the lot fills in
with a less poetic replacement, one of
which my mom would not approve. A
house can reveal its decor, its insect infes-
tation, its age. But its walls do not speak.
“I have lots of stories about that place
when you want to hear them,” my mother
said to my two sisters and me through text.
Yes, Mom, I want to hear them. I want to
hear them all.

Protesters rally March 3 outside Chicago City Hall for an elected school board. ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Come clean, Mayor Lightfoot: Do you
support an elected school board or not?
By David Greising
Mayor Lori Lightfoot is in a tight
spot.
It’s a spot she built herself, so she’s
responsible for the fix she’s in. And
how she gets out will have lasting
effects on her success as mayor.
The spot in question is this: How
to reverse field and come out against
an elected school board for Chicago
Public Schools?
Running for mayor, first-time politi-
cian Lightfoot told voters she favored
an elected school board. Almost
from the day she took office — and
certainly, by the time she began joust-
ing with the Chicago Teachers Union
early in her term — Lightfoot appar-
ently decided that was a bad idea.
If that’s her view now, as is evident,
it’s well past time Lightfoot makes
that clear.
The idea remains very much alive.
An elected school board for Chicago
has a good chance at passage during
the current legislative session. If
Lightfoot hopes to stop it, she’ll need
to show a forcefulness and effective-
ness in Springfield she has not yet
marshaled as mayor.
State Sen. Robert Martwick’s
proposal calls for a fully elected,
21-person school board for Chicago.
Lightfoot has criticized Martwick’s
plan without yet presenting her own.
She has said 21 members is too
many. That people in this country
The path to solving gun violence? Science.
By Nina Vinik
Let’s not surrender to pessimism about
the political standoff over addressing our
country’s gun violence epidemic. There is
still something our political leaders agree
on when it comes to gun safety policies,
and that’s finding out what works, and
what doesn’t.
Hope for a bipartisan path toward
saving lives starts with science and
research.
In 2020, the U.S. experienced the high-
est number of firearm fatalities in a single
year in our history, as an estimated 43,000
Americans lost their lives to gun violence
— principally due to suicides and commu-
nity-based gun violence. Yet it took back-
to-back mass shootings in Atlanta, Boulder
and, just Wednesday, Orange, California,
to refocus attention on this overlooked
public health crisis — and the urgent need
for a comprehensive plan to address it.
For more than two decades, the federal
government provided negligible support
for research into gun violence, the result
of bullying by the gun lobby. But starting
in 2019, a divided Congress approved $25
million to support gun violence studies,
and renewed that funding in 2020.
While the new dollars are a good
start, they do not come close to the need
given the magnitude of the problem in
terms of lives lost and families torn apart.
Compared with the economic costs of gun
violence, estimated to be well over $220
billion annually in health care costs, crim-
inal justice expenses and other direct and
indirect costs, this is a drop in the bucket.
OPINION
illegally, whose children make up a
large part of the school population,
wouldn’t get a say. That money would
become too big a factor in school
board elections.
She even told The New York Times
that schools would not have reopened,
despite COVID-19 concerns, had the
mayor not controlled the schools.
Still, in Springfield, it’s hard to
stop something with nothing. And
if Lightfoot does not act — and soon
— Martwick’s something has a good
chance to become law.
Lightfoot nearly lost the fight once
already. During the state legisla-
ture’s lame-duck session in Janu-
ary, Martwick’s proposal nearly got a
Senate vote that would have sent it to
Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s desk, before Light-
foot’s intergovernmental operations
team even realized it was moving,
sources told me.
Senate President Don Harmon got a
call from the mayor’s representatives.
Harmon agreed not to call the school
board measure for a vote, but at a cost.
Instead, Harmon passed a different
bill Lightfoot opposed: an increase to
Chicago firefighters’ retirement bene-
fits that will cost the city $850 million
through 2055.
It was a pick-your-poison moment
for Lightfoot: Stop the school board,
or stop the pension hike. She couldn’t
stop both. A spokeswoman for the
mayor declined to comment on the
episode.
For those who doubt the importance of
investing in research, there are numerous
examples of scientific findings that have
saved lives:
„„Universal background check laws imple-
mented in states through permit-to-pur-
chase or licensing policies are effective at
reducing rates of gun homicide and suicide,
yet nationally, about 22% of gun transfers
take place without a background check.
„„A woman is five times more likely to be
murdered when her abuser has access to
a gun. Prohibiting firearm possession by
people under domestic violence restrain-
ing orders, including dating partners, is a
proven strategy to reduce intimate partner
homicides.
„„Investing in community-based inter-
ventions that target those at highest risk of
violence have shown promise at reducing
violent victimization.
„„Access to firearms in the home is a risk
factor for suicide. Laws that enable tempo-
rary firearm removal from someone in crisis
have been shown to prevent suicide.
This evidence comes largely from states
and cities that have adopted innovative
policies and programs to address gun
violence because the federal government
has failed to tackle this problem head-on.
But this patchwork approach is plainly
inadequate. It is long past time for an
all-of-government response that draws on
this and other existing research.
For all we know about gun violence and
its solutions, there is still much to learn.
Among many critical, unanswered ques-
tions are these:
What factors are contributing to
Chicago Tribune | Section 1 | Friday, April 2, 2021  15
The Martwick proposal is back
now, and if Lightfoot hopes to stop it
again, this time she’ll need her own
plan.
People following the drama expect
it to be a hybrid — some elected, some
mayoral appointees. They expect it to
be smaller, as few as nine members.
They expect it to come next week.
Whatever form it takes, Light-
foot needs to justify her reversal and
explain why she sees a hybrid as
better. Besides reopening the schools
— an unusual case — what other bene-
fits does she see? And since the mayor
likely will retain virtual control in a
hybrid setup, how does she square
that with her prior impulse to bring
representative democracy to the
school system?
There are plenty of reasons to be
skeptical of elected boards in big-city
school systems. Too often, they
get caught up in a no-win wrestle
between teachers unions and char-
ter school advocates. The cost of
campaigning can drive grassroots
candidates out of the races. This
leaves the field to the well-off or richly
backed.
These facts were in evidence when
Lightfoot ran for mayor. If she is
worried now about ceding control
to her nemesis, the CTU, she should
level with voters and say so.
The mayor also could point to ways
in which mayoral control has worked
in Chicago.

of mass shootings declined in 2020, over
time they have become more frequent,
and more lethal. Mental illness is a poor
predictor, since most people with mental

to be victims of violence. What behaviors

mass shootings?

Would an elected Chicago school
board have had the wherewithal to
oversee such wrenching changes?
There’s also an argument that
academic performance is moving in
the right direction. Despite daunt-
ing challenges — including financial
stresses that would tax the capabil-
ities of an elected board — Chicago
Public Schools has shown steady
educational progress.
Chalkbeat Chicago, in tallying test
results from 2019, reported more
than a decade of growth before level-
ing off beginning in 2017. A distress-
ing performance gap persists, and
is growing unacceptably between
Latino and white students, but the
overall positive trend is something
mayoral control has helped deliver.
Lightfoot is about to break her
campaign promise to help create an
elected school board. Elected leaders
have a right to change their position,
but they owe the public an honest
explanation when they do.
David Greising is president and chief
executive officer of the Better Gov-
ernment Association.
in rates of firearm homicides last year,
but others, such as Baltimore, had much
smaller increases or even a decrease. Some
cities have turned to targeted interven-
tions — such as reclaiming vacant lots,
street outreach and focused deterrence
— but the results have not always been
consistent. Further research is needed into
which interventions have greatest impact,
and in what combination.
How do we curtail the increase in
firearm suicides? Nearly two-thirds of
gun deaths are suicides, and the rate has
been increasing for a decade. Emerging
evidence points to strategies for reducing
risk, including counseling on safe storage
of firearms, requiring permits to purchase
firearms and extreme risk protection laws.
Additional research is needed to learn
what types of gun storage are most effec-
tive at reducing suicide risk, and how to
improve storage practices.
These questions are just the begin-
ning. As we’ve learned from the COVID-
19 pandemic, the answer to reversing a
deadly public health crisis depends on
credible science. And credible science
requires resources. Unlike the coronavi-
rus, there is no vaccine that will end gun
violence. But the pandemic has taught us
that saving lives starts with identifying
solutions that work.
This isn’t a Democratic idea, or a Repub-
lican idea — it’s just the right idea.

Wrigley returns to Chicago business roots
Chewing gum
billionaire purchases
Windy City Cannabis
By Robert Channick
Chicago Tribune
Billionaire chewing gum heir
William “Beau” Wrigley Jr. is
returning to his Chicago business
roots, but this time he’s selling
weed.
Parallel, an Atlanta-based mari-
juana company Wrigley launched
in 2019, announced Thursday it has
purchased six Windy City Canna-
bis dispensaries, entering the
fast-growing Illinois recreational
weed market in a big way.
The $100 million cash and stock
deal includes Windy City Cannabis
dispensaries in Homewood, High-
wood, Posen and Litchfield, with
dispensaries in Carpentersville
BUSINESS
and Macomb slated to open this
month. The deal, which requires
approval from state regulators, is
expected to close in the second half
of 2021.
“The acquisition of Windy
City enables Parallel’s entry into
Illinois, one of the best perform-
ing cannabis markets in the U.S.
to date,” Wrigley said in a news
release. “Parallel is expected to
have one of the largest retail foot-
prints in Illinois among U.S. canna-
bis operators.”
Wrigley was unavailable for
comment.
Not including the Windy City
acquisition, Parallel has 42 retail
stores in Massachusetts, Florida
and Nevada, as well as cultiva-
tion and manufacturing sites in
four states. It is building a produc-
tion facility in Pennsylvania with
plans to open medical dispensaries
across the state over the next year,
the company said.
Parallel plans to go public this
summer through a special purpose
acquisition company.
Wrigley, 57, is the great-grand-
son of William Wrigley Jr., who
founded his namesake company
in Chicago in 1891 by making soap.
The company started producing
Juicy Fruit and Doublemint gum
soon thereafter, and a chewing
gum dynasty was born.
The great-grandson Wrigley
took control of the family business
in 1999. He sold the company for
$23 billion in 2008 to confectioner
Mars.
In a February interview, Wrigley
told Forbes his marijuana company
“can be bigger than the Wrigley
company.”
The sale of the six Windy City
Cannabis dispensaries unwinds
a pioneering Chicago-based
company that was an early major
player in the state’s weed industry.
Curaleaf, a publicly traded
Massachusetts marijuana
company, took possession of three
Windy City Cannabis dispensa-
ries Thursday after state regu-
lators signed off last month on
its $830 million acquisition of
Chicago-based Grassroots in July.
Greenhouse and Windy City were
dispensary brands affiliated with
Grassroots.
Windy City Cannabis dispensa-
ries in Justice, Worth and Lincoln
Park, along with six Greenhouse
locations, are moving under the
Curaleaf banner in April.
The other six Windy City loca-
tions were separated from the
Curaleaf deal to comply with state
restrictions capping ownership
at 10 dispensaries, and will move
to Parallel after the $100 million
acquisition closes.
“The industry as a whole has
changed dramatically in the five
years or six years since we started,”
said Steve Weisman, 34, a Grass-
roots partner and CEO of Windy
City. “We didn’t have an exit plan
when we began, but it would have
been hard to predict that this is
how we would have ended up.”
The owners of Windy City
could receive as much as $155
million with performance-based
payments through 2023 through
the sale to Parallel, the companies
said in the news release.
Marijuana sales in Illinois have
soared since the state legalized
recreational use in January 2020,
reaching $1.03 billion last year.
There are 96 recreational dispen-
saries in the state as of April 1,
according to the Illinois Depart-
ment of Financial and Professional
Regulation.

Hold the
confetti
Robinhood replacing
lampooned feature
By Stan Choe
Associated Press

NEW YORK — The bursts of

confetti that shower screens of
Robinhood investors when they
make their first trade — and serve
as the punchline for critics who
say the popular app treats invest-
ing like a game — are going away.
Starting this week, Robinhood
began retiring the confetti, which
was meant to celebrate custom-
ers hitting milestones like making
their first deposit or enabling new
features, such as upgrading to its
paid Gold-level membership.
The last pops will go off next
week, to be replaced with a suite
of animations that are decidedly
measured in pace, with nary a flake
within them.
“They’re meant to be moments
of pause, moments of understand-
ing,” said Rich Bessel, head of
design at Robinhood.

put hospital closures on hold for the rest of the pandemic

By Lisa Schencker
Chicago Tribune
Hospital closures in Illinois might have
to wait until after the COVID-19 pandemic
subsides under a bill headed to the gover-
nor, who called it a “remarkable piece of
legislation.”
The measure follows controversy over
the potential shuttering of Mercy Hospital
in Bronzeville.
The expansive bill, which addresses
health care disparities affecting brown and
Black Illinois residents, would allow the
state Health Facilities and Services Review
Board to put off approval of applications to
close hospitals.
It would allow the board to defer action
on new and recent applications until the
expiration of a statewide disaster decla-
ration made by Gov. J.B. Pritzker because
of COVID-19, the expiration of the public
health emergency declared by the federal
government, or until July 1 — whichever
occurs later. It would also allow the board
to hold off on earlier applications that are
now pending before the board, such as
Mercy’s, for 60 days.
“There are other safety net hospitals
that are in trouble ... and we’ve got to put
a stop to this now,” said state Sen. Mattie
Hunter, D-Chicago, who sponsored the
bill.
Safety net hospitals often struggle finan-
cially, partly because they serve many
low-income people who may not have
health insurance or people with govern-

Chicago-born entrepreneurs cash in

on their former careers in NCAA
By Robert Channick
Chicago Tribune
As head manager for the Univer-
sity of Michigan men’s basketball
team, Jason Lansing has spent four
years doing scut work — mopping
up floors, unloading equipment
and showing up for early morning
rebounding duty.
With Michigan ousted from the
NCAA tourney Tuesday, Lansing,
22, a senior from Chicago set to
graduate in May, will turn his
attention to a potentially more
lucrative role — helping former
college players across multi-
ple sports cash in by selling their
game-worn gear online.
The Players Trunk, an e-com-
merce website launched last
Jason Lansing, 22, a University of Michigan senior from Chicago, sits with summer by Lansing, two fellow
some of his Michigan gear for his online business, The Players Trunk, selling managers and two former Michi-
game-worn sports gear in partnership with former college athletes. gan basketball players, sells every-
ERIN HOOLEY/CHICAGO TRIBUNE thing from used jerseys and shoes
to locker room nameplates. The
startup, which stores its grow-
ing collection of player-supplied
products in a suburban garage,
has taken off so quickly it has
already drawn seed funding from
a Chicago venture capital firm.
“It’s really about growing it and
getting as many athletes as we can
to the platform, and sharing our
mission of really empowering the
athletes to monetize themselves,”
Lansing said. “Because they
haven’t been able to monetize their
whole career and, in a sense, have
been exploited.”
College sports is a multibillion
industry with broadcast rights,
merchandising, sponsorships and
ticket sales, built on the perfor-
mance of amateur athletes who
have long been unable to monetize
their success without forfeiting
their eligibility to compete. NCAA
rules prevent current athletes from
receiving compensation beyond
a scholarship providing a free
college education.
The Players Trunk features gear
from more than 400 former college
athletes representing nearly 100
schools. Prices range from $20 for
a football beanie offered by former
Ohio State lineman Brady Taylor
to $4,000 for a game-worn jersey
from Cassius Winston, a four-year
star point guard for Michigan State
now in his rookie season with the
NBA’s Washington Wizards.
Players keep the “vast majority”
of the revenue, Lansing said. He
declined to provide specific reve-
nue figures but said the site has
processed more than 5,000 orders.
“Sales have definitely been
above our expectations,” said
Lansing, whose father, Andy
Lansing, is president and CEO of

Workers at second Chicago weed dispensary vote to unionize

By Robert Channick
Chicago Tribune
Workers at a Windy
City Cannabis dispensary
in Chicago’s Lincoln Park
neighborhood narrowly
approved a vote Wednesday
to join the United Food and
Commercial Workers Inter-
national Union.
The 11 to 10 vote, pend-
ing certification from the
National Labor Relations
Board, would make the
Lincoln Park dispensary
the second in the state to
unionize as the nascent
weed industry takes root in
Illinois.
“It was a really close
election,” said Jake Lytle,
22, a $16-per-hour prod-
uct specialist at Windy City
Cannabis who helped orga-
nize the union effort. “But
we were happy to get the
results that we were hoping
for.”
Complicating the results,
the dispensary, which
opened in July, has a new
owner as of Thursday.
Curaleaf, a publicly traded
Massachusetts marijuana
company, took possession
of nine Illinois dispensa-
ries after state regulators
signed off last month on its
$830 million acquisition of
Chicago-based Grassroots
last July.
Three Windy City Canna-
bis dispensaries — in Justice,
Worth and Lincoln Park —
and six Greenhouse loca-
tions are moving under the
Curaleaf banner in April.
“Curaleaf is evaluating
whether to exercise a right
to file objections to the
outcome of the election with
the NLRB,” the company
said in a statement Thursday.
The union has been orga-
nizing cannabis workers
since 2011, but the move-
ment has gained traction in
recent years as more states
legalize. On Wednesday,
New York became the 16th
state to approve recreational
marijuana use.
In February, workers at
the Sunnyside dispensary in
Chicago’s Lakeview neigh-
borhood, which is owned
by Chicago-based Cresco,
became the first in Illinois to
ratify a union contract. The
state’s first cannabis union
contract was ratified in
December by more than 180
workers at the Cresco Labs
cultivation center in Joliet.
Marijuana sales in Illi-
nois have soared since the
state legalized recreational
use in January 2020, reach-
ing $1.03 billion last year.
There are 96 recreational
dispensaries in the state as
of April 1, according to the
Department of Financial
and Professional Regulation. Workers at a Windy City Cannabis dispensary in Chicago’s
Lincoln Park neighborhood narrowly approved a vote

Anticipation building for
US hiring boom this year
By Christopher Rugaber
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — With hopes rising
for a powerful rebound in hiring this year,
Friday’s jobs report for March will provide
crucial insight into whether those rosy
expectations may prove true.
The most optimistic economists are
predicting the government will report that
as many as 1 million jobs were added in
March — a blistering gain that would help
recover a decent chunk of the 9.5 million
jobs that remain lost to the pandemic.
Still, the increase might not be quite that
large: Overall, economists surveyed by data
provider FactSet have forecast an increase
of 615,000.
After a year of epic job losses, waves of
coronavirus infections, and small-business
closures, numerous trends are brighten-
ing the outlook. Consumer confidence in
March reached its highest level since the
pandemic intensified. Americans have
increased their spending as the latest stim-
ulus checks have been distributed. More
states and cities are easing restrictions
on restaurants, bars and indoor gather-
ings. Vaccinations are being increasingly

$3.5 million retrofit helps turn
former Macy’s into a polished
spot where students can learn
By Lisa Rathke
Associated Press
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Students who once
shopped at a downtown mall in Burlington,
Vermont, are now attending high school in
the former Macy’s department store, with
gleaming white tile floors and escalators
whisking them to and from classes.
The Downtown Burlington High School
opened March 4, about six months after
school administrators closed the existing
school, just under 2 miles away, because
toxic industrial chemicals known as PCBs
were found in the building and soil during
renovations. That left students stuck
at home learning remotely for much of
the school year during the coronavirus
pandemic.
As school officials looked for space where
students could attend school in-person,
they eventually eyed the empty department
store, which closed in 2018. They talked
with architects and learned it was a possi-
bility, Superintendent Tom Flanagan said.
Rule speeding up pork plant line output tossed Jobless claims
By Josh Funk
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — A federal judge has
thrown out a rule allowing pork plants to
speed up production lines because the U.S.
Department of Agriculture didn’t properly
consider the risks to workers.
The judge in Minnesota ruled Wednes-
day that the agency’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service didn’t follow proper
procedures before President Donald
Trump’s administration issued the rule in
2019. The lawsuit was filed by the United
Food and Commercial Workers Inter-
national Union along with local unions

homa, and the nonprofit consumer advo-

administered, although new confirmed
infections have risen from lower levels in
recent weeks.
The $1,400 checks in President Joe
Biden’s $1.9 trillion economic relief plan
have increased consumer spending, accord-
ing to Bank of America’s tracking of its debit
and credit cards. Spending jumped 23% in
the third week of March compared with
pre-pandemic levels, the bank said.
“We’re seeing a powerful response to
stimulus payments from the consumer,”
said Michelle Meyer, an economist at Bank
of America.
Lower-income Americans responded
with vigor, with spending among cardhold-
ers earning under $50,000 soaring 69%
compared with pre-pandemic levels. More
than 127 million of the stimulus payments,
worth $325 billion, have been distributed.
The burgeoning economic activity is
showing signs of translating into more jobs.
Karen Fichuk, CEO of Randstad North
America, a recruiting firm, said the
company is seeking to fill 38% more perma-
nent jobs than it was at the end of last year.
Demand for workers is particularly strong
in manufacturing, information technology,
logistics, and health care.
“It’s weird but cool at the same time,” said
freshman Moses Doe, 15, who said he and
his family shopped plenty at Macy’s before
it became his school.
He’s getting used to the new space every
day, he said, and the escalators and eleva-
tors are nice features.
The building underwent a $3.5 million
retrofit supported by the state that added
partial walls for classrooms while keep-
ing some Macy’s remnants, like the spar-
kly white tile floors, bright red carpeting,
Calvin Klein and Michael Kors signs, and
a large-scale Levi’s jeans photo on a class-
room wall. The library is housed in the
former Macy’s china department, while the
gym is in a former store’s warehouse and is
still unfinished.
Senior Lila Iyengar Lehman, 18, said she
didn’t know what to expect of the store-
turned-school.
“I have to say even though everyone
complains that it’s loud and crowded, I just
am so much happier being around people.
It’s way better than being stuck at home on
your computer all day long,” she said. “And
although the situation’s weird, I think, you
know, everyone’s doing the best with the
circumstances, so I think it’s pretty great
overall.”
cacy group Public Citizen.
U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen said
the agency “expressly identified worker
safety as an important consideration and
requested public comment on whether
increasing line speeds would harm workers.
Then, after receiving many comments rais-
ing worker safety concerns, FSIS rejected
the comments and eliminated line speed
limits without considering worker safety.”
The USDA said Thursday that the agency
is reviewing the ruling, and it remains
“deeply committed to worker safety and a
safe, reliable food supply.”
Union officials praised the ruling because

“We are definitely starting to see the
economic recovery reach a turning point,
including in the hardest hit industries, such
as hospitality,” Fichuk said.
Job listings on the website Indeed.com
jumped in the last week of March, with
available jobs now 13.5% above pre-pan-
demic levels.
Jed Kolko, Indeed’s chief economist, said
that job postings in higher-paid sectors,
such as financial services and technol-
ogy, have accelerated in the past couple of
months.
That increase is “a sign of longer-term
economic confidence,” Kolko said, because
employers typically don’t advertise such
positions until they’re confident that the
prospects for growth are sustainable.
Robust job growth in March, however,
will raise an important question: Can it
continue at the same pace?
Besides the 9.5 million fewer jobs that
exist in the U.S. economy than before the
virus struck, an additional 2 million or so
jobs would have been added in the past year
under normal circumstances. That means
the U.S. economy still needs 11.5 million
more jobs to regain something close to full
health.
Despite some challenges with noise
because the classroom walls don’t rise to
the ceiling, the school is working, officials
said.
Iyengar Lehman said a lack of windows
and students being prohibited from leaving
the building for unexcused reasons is also
a challenge.
Normally seniors would be allowed to
leave during blocks when they don’t have
class but due to coronavirus protocols, offi-
cials said that’s not possible this year.
Unlike the other school, classrooms are
closer together, so students get to see their
classmates and teachers, creating a sense
of community, Flanagan said. Just half of
nearly 1,000 students attend at a time.
For now, the district has leased the build-
ing for 3 1/2 years while it learns more about
the PCBs at the old school and what needs
to be done.
After being remote for much of the year,
several students said it’s been beneficial to
reconnect and be part of the community.
“It’s really, really nice to see all my
friends,” Iyengar Lehman said. “Like I
forgot how much I miss all those little
interactions with people like passing in the
hallways and saying ‘hi’ to teachers and just
chatting with your friends.”
repetitive motion injuries for workers.
“With the success of this lawsuit, our
country’s essential workers have sent a
powerful message that the safety of Ameri-
ca’s food and workers is not for sale,” UFCW
International President Marc Perrone said.
Public Citizen attorney Adam Pulver,
who represented the unions, said the
agency should have considered worker
safety.
“An agency can’t put its hands over its
ears and refuse to consider facts that cut
against its policy preferences, as USDA did
here,” Pulver said.
The judge said her ruling won’t take
effect for 90 days to allow regulators time to
determine how the change will affect plants
that already switched to faster line speeds.

Justices side
with FCC
on media
ownership
By Mark Sherman
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on
Thursday unanimously upheld federal regu-
lators’ decision to ease ownership limits on
local media, rejecting a claim that the change
would hurt minority and female ownership.
The court said the Federal Communica-
tions Commission acted reasonably in 2017
when it modified rules predating the inter-
net.
The old rules prohibited a single entity
from owning a radio or TV station and a daily
newspaper in the same media market. They
also limited how many radio and TV stations
one company could own in a single market
and restricted the number of TV stations a
company could operate in one media market.
“The FCC considered the record evidence
on competition, localism, viewpoint diver-
sity, and minority and female ownership, and
reasonably concluded that the three owner-
ship rules no longer serve the public inter-
est,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote for the
court.
The decision comes as newspaper and
broadcasting industries say they need the
changes to deal with growing competition
from the internet and cable companies.
The FCC adopted the changes on a party-
line, 3-2 vote, with three Republican-ap-
pointed commissioners in the majority. The
dissenting Democratic appointees and other
critics said the changes would encourage
consolidation and hurt diversity.
Republicans have long sought changes to
the media ownership rules. The FCC in 2017,
then-run by a Republican chairman, decided
that since the internet has so changed media,
allowing more consolidation in newspapers
and broadcasters would be good for consum-
ers.
The FCC now has a Democratic chair-
woman who dissented from the 2017 order.
BUSINESS BRIEFING
Factory activity
flourishing in US
WASHINGTON — U.S. manufacturers
expanded in March at the fastest pace in
37 years, a sign of strengthening demand as
the pandemic wanes and government emer-
gency aid flows through the economy.
The Institute for Supply Management, a
trade group of purchasing managers, said
that its measure of factory activity jumped
to 64.7 last month, from 60.8 the previous
month. That’s the highest since December
1983. Some of the gain may reflect a bounce
back from February, when harsh winter
weather in southern states knocked some oil
refineries and petrochemical plants offline.
Measures of new orders, production, and
hiring all jumped, and more companies
reported optimistic outlooks about future
conditions.
Feb. construction
spending slumps
WASHINGTON — U.S. construction
spending fell in February after several
months of steady gains, likely because of
unseasonably cold weather and winter
storms in the South.
The Commerce Department said Thurs-
day that spending on building projects
slipped 0.8% in February, after a 1.2% gain
in January.
The drop was driven by lower spending
on apartments, hotels, hospitals and educa-
tional facilities.
Public construction spending also
dropped sharply, declining by 1.7%.
State and local government budgets have
come under strain during the pandemic,
as tax revenue has fallen amid widespread
unemployment and lower business revenue.

Miller
enters
transfer
portal
In stunning move,
freshman appears to
be leaving Illinois
By Shannon Ryan
Chicago Tribune
Illinois’ future after Ayo
Dosunmu became murkier
Thursday when starting guard
Adam Miller entered the trans-
fer portal, a team spokesman
confirmed to the Tribune.
ESPN first reported the
transfer. A photo of Miller
with the caption “transfer”
was posted to his Instagram
account.
Miller, who started all 31
games and averaged 8.3 points
and 2.8 rebounds while shoot-
ing 34% on 3-pointers as a
freshman, was expected to
help fill the gap with Dosun-
mu’s likely departure for the
NBA draft.
The 6-foot-3 Miller was a
top-35 prospect in the Class of
2020 out of Morgan Park and
another Chicago recruiting
boon for coach Brad Under-
wood.
Miller committed in Novem-
ber 2019 but did not sign with
Illinois until April 2020, pick-
ing the Illini over offers from
Arizona and Louisville.
Miller transferred from
Peoria Manual to Morgan Park
before his sophomore year of
high school. He earned the Mr.
Basketball of Illinois award as
a senior.
“Adam was a big part of our
success this season, starting
every game as a freshman and
contributing not just on offense
but defensively as well,” Under-
wood said in a statement. “He
has a very bright future ahead,
and we wish him all the best.”
The Illini won the Big Ten
Tournament and played in the
NCAA Tournament for the
first time since 2013, losing to
Loyola in the second round. But
they might need to rebuild their
roster quickly.
Dosunmu’s departure seems
certain. Center Kofi Cockburn,
a sophomore, is expected to
enter his name in the NBA draft
as he did after last season.
Seniors Trent Frazier and
Da’Monte Williams have the
option to return with another
season of eligibility but might
consider their college careers
complete.
If all leave, Illinois would be
without four starters and most
of its offensive firepower.

Associated Press
The last time Roy Williams left
North Carolina, he was a virtu-
ally unknown assistant who was
getting his first shot as a college
head coach at tradition-rich
Kansas.
Now Williams is leaving the Tar
Heels again with a resume chock
full of honors — as a retiring Hall
of Famer with more than 900
wins, three national champion-
ships and a legacy built on more
than three decades of success at
two of college basketball’s most
storied programs. Williams
won 903 games in a career that
included titles with the Tar Heels
in 2005, 2009 and 2017.

By Shannon Ryan

DePaul reached a deal Thurs-
day with Oregon assistant Tony
Stubblefield to take over as the
Blue Demons men’s basketball
coach, according to sources.
Stubblefield, 51, has been on
Dana Altman’s staff for 11 seasons,
including this season as an asso-
ciate coach. DePaul will be his
first head coaching job.
CBS Sports reported he signed
a five-year deal.
He replaces Dave Leitao, who
was fired after going 69-112 in six
seasons of his second stint with
DePaul.
Stubblefield has helped bring
top-15 recruiting classes to
Oregon and coached in seven
NCAA Tournaments with the
Ducks. He also spent four seasons
as a Cincinnati assistant.
He previously worked on Lou
Henson’s staff at New Mexico
State for six seasons, filling in
as interim head coach when
Henson battled health issues
during the 2004-05 season.
Stubblefield worked as an
assistant at Texas-Arlington and
Texas-San Antonio after begin-
ning his career at University
of Nebraska-Omaha, his alma
mater.
DePaul had attempted to lure
Kenny Payne from the New York
Knicks, but the deal fell through
at the last minute, according to
sources.

Stubblefield was involved in
the recruitment of three Oregon
players who were part of a rape
investigation and eventually were
dismissed from the university.
The case was dropped, but the
university reached a settlement
with a woman who said Altman
and Stubblefield were aware of
guard Brandon Austin’s suspen-
sion for sexual assault at Provi-
dence but recruited him anyway.
Stubblefield received public
support from the university pres-
ident, who said the coaches did
not act improperly.
At DePaul, he will be tasked
with revitalizing the Blue
Demons, who haven’t made the
NCAA Tournament since 2004.
DePaul completed a 5-14 season
with a second-round loss to
Connecticut in the Big East Tour-
nament.
This is the first major hire for
athletic director DeWayne Peevy,
who took over in August after
spending 12 years in Kentucky’s
athletic department.
Six DePaul players entered the
NCAA transfer portal since the
season ended: Pauly Paulicap,
Ray Salnave, Darious Hall, Oscar
Lopez, Kobe Elvis and Keon
Edwards.
DePaul has three incoming
freshmen who signed in Novem-
ber. Keeping four-star Simeon
point guard Ahamad Bynum, a
top-100 national recruit, will be
a priority.
According to The DePaulia,
Stubblefield is expected to retain
assistant coach Tim Anderson,
who was the lead recruiter for
Bynum.

But the resume speaks for itself.
La Russa was inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014 for
a career that includes three World
Series titles — 1989 with the Athlet-
ics and 2006 and 2011 with the
Cardinals.
He is third on the all-time wins
list for managers.
Some wondered how La Russa
would mesh with today’s players.
That hasn’t been an issue.
“He knows the time that we as a
player need to spend on the field,”
Sox first baseman Jose Abreu said
last week through an interpreter.
“He knows when you need to rest.
He knows how to take control of
how you measure your work.
“The atmosphere that he has
created along with the coaches has
been outstanding. We’re putting
special emphasis on the little
things. We’re working on specific
areas of the game that we need to
in order to win games and to be a
complete team.”
Shortstop Tim Anderson agreed.
“He understands the players and
also understands the staff as well,”
Anderson said before Thursday’s
game. “I think we are in a good
spot.”
Abreu received a scouting report
on La Russa from Angels first
baseman Albert Pujols. La Russa

ensuring expectations would be
even lower.
After a first-inning double by
Anthony Rizzo, the Cubs went
0-for-18 before Eric Sogard
doubled into the right-field
corner to lead off the eighth.
And that was it.
The Cubs struck out 13 times
and scored all three runs on sacri-
fice flies.
“I don’t put a lot of stock in this
one,” manager David Ross said.
“But they count.”
Kyle Hendricks, who threw a
complete-game shutout in last
year’s opener on a beautiful,
80-degree midsummer night,
failed to get to the fourth inning
on a 36-degree spring afternoon.
A boatload of Cubs relievers
whose bubble gum cards prob-
ably would’ve ended up in your
bicycle spokes if they had pitched
when you were growing up,
walked eight and hit a batter over
the next five innings before Alec
Mills tossed a perfect ninth.
Despite the game’s outcome
and dreary four-hour length —
and snafus such as some upper
deck concessions being unable
to sell Italian beef and sausages
because of a computer malfunc-
tion on the first day of the touch-
less payment era — the Cubs felt
good about the return of fans to
their iconic ballpark.
“It was a moment where I
personally just took an extra
moment when I took the field
to appreciate their cheers, being
able to play in front of them,”
Rizzo said. “It was definitely
something I’ll never forget, taking
the field today.”
Cubs management had artifi-
cial crowd noise on call in case of
emergency, ready to foist it upon
fans if they forgot how to cheer or
boo since the final day of the 2019
season 18 months ago.
Fortunately they didn’t have
to break the glass. The fans were
sufficiently loud from the get-go,
starting with the pregame intro-
duction of Jake Arrieta, who
received a rousing welcome
home, to the traditional booing of
whichever mayor is currently in
charge — Lori Lightfoot, in this
instance.
Those lucky enough to acquire
a ticket got a chance to see a
little bit of everything, includ-
ing an actual sacrifice bunt
from Hendricks in the second
inning. During the shortened
2020 season, when the National
League adopted the designated
hitter, the Cubs had only one
sacrifice all year, that coming
from Ian Happ. Ross even made a
double-switch in the fifth inning,

managed Pujols for 11 seasons in
St. Louis.
“Albert told me how much Tony
respects the game and how much
Tony respects the players and the
people around him, and he wasn’t
wrong,” Abreu said. “I vouch for
that. It has been incredible to be
with Tony, to be part of this team.”
Thursday’s Sox starter, Lucas
Giolito said La Russa has contin-
ued to “foster a great environment
in our clubhouse, our family envi-
ronment.”
“Mutual respect between every-
one,” Giolito said last week. “Tony
being very open and honest about
the things on his mind going into
this season, we love that. That’s
what we’re all about here, every-
one respecting each other and
being honest.”
Those types of reviews have
been the norm, according to
general manager Rick Hahn.
This is La Russa’s second stint
with the Sox, having served as
manager from 1979-86. The Sox
won a division title in 1983.
What do they have in store for
2021?
“We believe we have a shot, and
they’re working at it,” La Russa
said, “We respect for the growth
of Kansas City and Detroit. But
also with Minnesota (and) what
Cleveland had done to dominate
that division, so we’re walking in
there hungry.”
a familiar National League move
rendered meaningless last year by
the DH.
These were irrelevant in the
total scheme of things. But for
those who enjoy the NL style of
play and know it’s doomed once
the universal DH becomes part
of the next collective bargaining
agreement, you still can appreci-
ate the small things in life.
And without any offense, the
Cubs still had a shot in the ninth
inning, trailing 5-3 after outfielder
Joc Pederson walked with one
out and took second on a wild
pitch.
“We had two hits, Joc getting
on there at the end, we get the
tying run to the plate …” Rizzo
said. “We just didn’t hit well.”
Javier Baez was called out
on strikes after complaining to
plate umpire Mark Wegner on
the previous pitch, and Jason
Heyward struck out for the third
straight at-bat to end it.
Ross, who has spent more
time running spring training
camps (two) and summer camps
(one) than actually managing
big-league games, gave his players
an inspirational speech Wednes-
day, the day before the opener. He
didn’t want to discuss it Thurs-
day, but after hearing Heyward
leaked the gist of the speech to
Chicago media, Ross laughed and
let loose.
“I just think everybody is on
a different mission,” Ross said.
“Everybody is out to prove some-
thing.”
That would include Ross, of
course, and Hoyer as well. Their
guru, Theo Epstein, is gone, and
now they’re on their own.
What’s their mission? Without
naming names, Ross pointed to
players “trying to prove they are
established big-leaguers” (such as
most of the bullpen), role players
“trying to establish that they are
everyday players” (such as David
Bote), players “that have been
labeled they can’t do this, they
can’t do that” (such as Pederson)
and players “on one-year deals
and on the back end of contracts
(such as Rizzo, Baez and Kris
Bryant).
“That’s kind of how I addressed
the group,” Ross said. “Talking
about respecting the journey each
individual guy is on, and what
they’re trying to accomplish.”
It’s a long journey, and Thurs-
day was but one small step for the
Cubs. It might have been a back-
ward step, but it’s a start.
Long after the game’s end, Ross
went out on the field to play fetch
with his dog, Maya, with no one
in the stands and only the rush of
the “L” train breaking the silence.
All in all, it was good to be
home.

CUBS HOME OPENER
‘Refreshing’ reopening
Cubs fans sing the seventh-inning stretch Thursday, opening day at Wrigley Field. The Pirates defeated the Cubs 5-3. BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE PHOTOS
Return to stands brings
range of emotions
By Colleen Kane
Chicago Tribune
Excitement, relief and hope were among
the emotions Cubs fans expressed Thursday
as they returned to Wrigley Field for the first
time in 18 months.
After the COVID-19 pandemic forced fans
to cheer for the 2020 team in front of their TVs,
10,343 masked, socially distanced Cubs devo-
tees watched in person the 5-3 loss to the Pitts-
burgh Pirates to open the 2021 season.
Here’s a look at some of their stories — how
they handled the “horrible” time away from
their favorite team, their reactions to snagging
opening-day tickets and their thoughts about
attending a game while COVID-19 cases are
still a problem.
’I have a life with the Cubs’: Longtime Cubs
season ticket holders Georgia and Jack Leese
can see Wrigley Field from where they live in
Lakeview.
Looking at the empty ballpark in 2020 was
“very difficult,” said Georgia, 86.
So naturally they were thrilled to be return-
ing to Wrigley for opening day.
“I think it will be cold, I think it will be excit-
ing and I think the Cubs are going to win,” Geor-
gia said by phone before she left for the ballpark.
Georgia grew up in Portage Park and took the
Addison bus to Wrigley, where at that time she
could buy tickets for front-row seats. Jack, 89,
is also a lifelong North Sider who attended the
1945 World Series, Georgia said.
They attended the 2016 World Series games
in Chicago. Over 30-plus years, Georgia missed
only one Cubs Convention. And they usually
spend March in Arizona for spring training but
didn’t travel there this year because of COVID-
19.
So when season ticket holders of more than
30 years found out there would be fans at the
home opener, they were diligent in their pursuit
of tickets, a process she said “wasn’t easy.” They
don’t yet have tickets to other games this season.
“I have a life with the Cubs that I haven’t
really pursued the way I would like to,” Geor-
gia said. “As soon as it opens up, they know we
want to go. They know we want our seats. But
I’m grateful. There are a lot of people who can’t
go today, and I’m sorry for that.”
Georgia and Jack both have been vaccinated,
but she still takes precautions such as wearing
a mask and staying within her family bubble.
She said it will be a new experience not
sitting with their “buddies” in the usual seats
because of the limited fan attendance. But it
will be better than watching on TV, as they did
last year.
“Everyone has a few reservations, but I
would say that we’re very busy people and very
active, and that’s been shot down this year,”
Georgia said. “So we try to do what we can and
be sensible. There are people who do more and
people who do less.”

so routine-oriented and such a hard worker
behind the scenes — I told him, ‘You know
you can’t throw a complete game shutout
every opening day.’ ”
Thursday wasn’t a great first impression
after the Cubs touted the staff’s pitchabil-
ity in the offseason and during spring train-
ing, relying more on command than pure
stuff. Eight Cubs pitchers combined to walk
11 Pirates hitters. It represented their most
walks since they recorded 12 on March
30, 2019, against the Texas Rangers. Right-
hander Alec Mills was the lone reliever not
to issue a free pass.
Their loss could have been more lopsided:
The Pirates went 3-for-20 with runners in
scoring position.
The Cubs found themselves trailing
two batters into the game. Pirates rookie
Ke’Bryan Hayes followed Adam Frazier’s
game-opening walk with a two-run homer
off Hendricks. On a day like Thursday when
he knows he’s off mechanically, Hendricks
said it requires a tougher mentality to get
through the outing.
“You have to work a little harder,”
Hendricks said. “You use your warmup
pitches before the inning to try to find some-
thing, make a little adjustment, but you’ve
got to stay with that focus of trying to make
A Cubs fan tries to stay warm during the season opener Thursday at Wrigley Field.
Growing up with Harry Caray and Steve
Stone: Angie and Ryan Schassen moved to
Forest Park from Oregon last year and planned
to attend every Cubs game until COVID-19 kept
fans away.
On Thursday, they attended opening day —
Angie’s first game at Wrigley Field and Ryan’s
seventh or eighth — and they were “pretty
damn excited,” Ryan said from outside the
entrance to the Wrigley bleachers.
Ryan, 44, grew up a Cubs fan in Oregon
because he watched the team on WGN.
“Harry Caray and Steve Stone were me and
my brother’s babysitters,” he said.
The first time his father went to Wrigley
Field when he was in his 40s, he cried. Ryan
and Angie traveled to Wrigleyville for the 2016
World Series even though they didn’t have tick-
ets. They soaked up the atmosphere at the bars
and wrote their son’s name — Ryne — in chalk
next to Ryne Sandberg’s outside the field.
“When we got married when I was 19, I told
her, no matter what, when the Cubs make the
World Series, we’re going to be in Wrigleyville,”
Ryan said. “I don’t have to be at the game. I just
have to be in the neighborhood.”
This time they were inside Wrigley Field
to experience the unusual atmosphere with
limited fans.
“It’s Wrigley Field. To me, it’s the same,” Ryan
said.
Added Angie: “I guess we’re part of the atmo-
sphere, so we better bring it.”
’This is what we do’: The T-shirt stand on
Sheffield Avenue that Angel Lopez runs didn’t
open during the pandemic because the cost of
licenses and permits would have overtaken the
revenue from limited sales.
So having fans back at Wrigley Field is about
more than cheering on the Cubs for Lopez and
other vendors.
“This is what we do. If we don’t do this, we
don’t do nothing,” Lopez, 55, said. “Bringing it
back is bringing life back to us, to our families.
Kris Bryant and Ian Happ watch the end Thursday’s season opener at Wrigley Field. The Pirates

a good pitch and hopefully something clicks.
“Today it just wasn’t there for me. It was a
battle the whole time out there.”
The Cubs offense didn’t help, managing
only two hits in the loss.
They answered in the bottom of the first
inning. Willson Contreras reached on a field-
er’s choice after Ian Happ led off with a four-
pitch walk and advanced to third base on
an Anthony Rizzo hit to right field that he

It’s been pretty hard. Everybody here has kids
in college and all this other stuff, and it’s pretty
hard to need something at home and not be able
to get it for your kids.”
Lopez said he has lived in Lakeview his
whole life and started working for apparel
vendors as a kid, so being without it for a year
“put a big dent in our heart.” They had to let
some employees go, he said.
“Last year was kind of depressing for every-
body,” he said. “It does take a toll on people.”
Lopez said the stand was open Thursday as
a trial run to see what kind of business came in.
He hopes they can keep it running.
“We really don’t know how long we are going
to be here now,” he said. “We’re just trying it out
and will see how it goes. If it goes good, then
we’ll come back out. If not, we’ll have to go into
retail stores and do business with them.”
A‘refreshing’ return: With limited fans in atten-
dance, the entrance to the bleachers had no line
in front of it for most of the hour leading up to
the game.
Outside the right-field entrance, Teena
Moore waited as her boyfriend tried to down-
load their tickets onto his phone, a necessity
for fans this season with the Cubs using only
digital tickets.
Moore, a South Side Cubs fan, said she wore
multiple pairs of pants and socks on the chilly
afternoon to be comfortable. When fans were
kept from the ballpark last season, she watched
on TV.
“It was horrible,” she said. “To try to watch
them on TV without any fans was horrible, but
I still hung in there and I still watched them
because I’m a die-hard Cubs fan.
“(This game) will be refreshing. I’m just so
ready to hear ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame.’ “
Moore, 51, said she wasn’t too worried about
COVID-19. She is vaccinated and was double-
masked to be extra careful. She thought the
pod seating, cashless operations and delivered
concessions would help make it safer.
turned into a hustle double. A Kris Bryant
walk loaded the bases, positioning the Cubs
to knock Pirates starter Chad Kuhl out of
the game early. Joc Pederson’s sacrifice fly to
left field scored Contreras to cut the Pirates’
lead to 2-1. Javier Baez flew out to strand two
runners on base.
Contreras was nearly single-handedly
responsible for the Cubs’ second run. A
fielding error allowed him to get on base
Steve Grolmus, 57, a season ticket holder
from the Quad Cities in Iowa, said he would
feel better attending if he was vaccinated but
believes games can be held safely if everyone
follows the rules.
Grolmus still came to Chicago, where he also
owns a place, a couple of dozen times during
games last season.
“It was hard,” he said. “It was sad to come up
here and not see people around. It was a tough
season.”
He expects the fans that are in attendance to
be high energy.
“It won’t be the same, but I think everybody is
so excited, the excitement level is going to way
up there for everybody,” he said. “So I’m really
looking forward to it.”
The return of ‘Mai Tai Guy’: As the Cubs-Pi-
rates game crawled along, several people
took seats at Gallagher Way to watch the TV
broadcast on a giant screen.
Inside the paid attendance area, a few chil-
dren ran around and fans milled about.
One fan who has grown used to spending
Cubs games on the outskirts of Wrigley Field
is Christopher Sorley, a 40-year-old Portage
Park resident some might remember as “Mai
Tai Guy.”
Sorley went viral in 2019 when he was
accused of swiping a home run ball from two
boys, igniting the debate about the etiquette
of such situations. That, of course, was the
last season Sorley, who said he usually attends
about 50 games a year, was inside Wrigley Field.
Last year, when he realized he wouldn’t be
able to go inside, he became a regular visitor to
the ballhawks crew that sits at Waveland and
Kenmore avenues.
“When they redid the season, we were like,
all right, we can’t be inside, but we can still be
around the park,” Sorley said. “There are no
restrictions for that. … Opening day (in 2020),
people were itching to get out, and everyone
was ready to go, so we had 40-50 people at the
highest point.”
Sorley often passed by veteran ballhawks
such as Moe Mullins and Dave Davison, but
over time he has gotten used to doing what it
takes to compete for home run balls.
“When you see it for the first time, it’s intense
when the ball comes out because everyone is
running,” he said.
“These grown men are chasing after this
little 9-inch sphere of yarn and thread. No one
is out here to hurt anybody, but the point is to
get the ball. You’re going to have some body
contact. You’re going to have an elbow to the
ribs here.”
Sorley and a few other ballhawks were gath-
ered on Waveland on Thursday because open-
ing-day tickets were too expensive, but he said
he has tickets for other games this homestand.
He’s hoping he’ll spend less time on the street
during games this season.
“It’s kind of getting back to normal is really
how I feel,” Sorley said. “Getting back in the
swing of things, and hopefully by the playoffs,
if we make them, God willing, we all can be in
the ballpark — 40,000 of us.”
to open the bottom of the third. He subse-
quently stole second base and advanced to
third on a throwing error on the play. He
scored on Rizzo’s fly ball to center to make
it 3-2 Pirates.
Eric Sogard led off the bottom of the
eighth with a double, ending a stretch of 15
consecutive batters retired by the Pirates.
Another sacrifice fly, this time from Contre-
ras, brought the Cubs within two runs. After
Pederson drew a one-out walk in the ninth
inning and moved to second base on a wild
pitch from Pirates right-hander Richard
Rodriguez, Javier Baez and Jason Heyward
struck out to end the game.
“They’re just going to have days like that,
and the offense has got to weather through
that and try to put something together there
at the end,” Ross said. “But just kind of a
crappy game.”
The Cubs aren’t overreacting to one game
amid the hoopla surrounding opening day
and the challenges that come with playing
in 36-degree weather. The offense’s under-
whelming debut stirs reminders of the
group’s collective shortcomings the past
couple of seasons. But the loss didn’t dimin-
ish the Cubs’ joy at playing in front of fans at
Wrigley again.
“I personally just took an extra moment
when I took the field to appreciate them
being here and their cheers and being able
to play in front of them,” Rizzo said. “It was
definitely something I’ll never forget.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

ARIZONA VS. UCONN

UConn’s
Bueckers
leading as
a freshman
By Jim Vertuno
Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — One is a freshman

who stepped into the job of leading the
most successful program in women’s
basketball. The other is a senior who
accepted the call to build one of the worst
into one of this season’s best.
Together, UConn’s Paige Bueckers
and Arizona’s Aari McDonald are two of
the most dynamic scorers in the country
heading into their Friday night clash in
the women’s NCAA Tournament Final
Four.
UConn won the River Walk region and
rides into its 13th consecutive Final Four
as Bueckers this week became the first
freshman to win The Associated Press
national player of the year award.
The challenge for Bueckers this season
was learning how to lead a program
that had already produced some of the
game’s greatest players — including
Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi,
Maya Moore and Breanna Stewart — in
the Huskies’ charge for a potential 12th
national championship.
Before the season began, UConn coach
Geno Auriemma considered bringing her
off the bench just to ease her into the role.
Two weeks of watching Bueckers in prac-
tice tossed that idea “out the window,”
he said.
Bueckers led the Huskies (28-1) in
scoring, assists and steals this season and
scored 28 points in their 69-67 regional
final win over Baylor. Auriemma this Baylor forward Flo Thamba shoots against Villanova in the second half of a Sweet 16 game Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. All-

biggest games we played.”
But she’s still a freshman playing in
her first Final Four at a program where BAYLOR VS. HOUSTON

Matchup of rebounding programs

winning it all is the annual demand.
UConn hasn’t made it to the champion-
ship game since 2016.
“She’s still a young kid who was playing
against high school girls last year, so yeah,
this is big. Nothing that I say is gonna
change the bigness of it,” Auriemma said.
“I’m sure there’s a part of her that, you
know, is anxious, nervous, all the things
that you would be if you were her in a
game like this ... But somehow, someway,
she finds what all great players do. She
finds that thing that she has inside of her
that very few people have, that allows to
her to function in those big moments.”
McDonald’s burden was to build a
winner at a program stuck in a basket-
ball desert. Coach Adia Barnes put that
job on her as soon as McDonald trans-
ferred from Washington in 2017 when
the Wildcats were living at the bottom
of the Pac-12.
McDonald sat out the 2017-2018 season
and watched at Arizona won just six
games. Now she is the conference player
of the year and has the Wildcats on level
ground with the Huskies for at least one
more day.
“It’s crazy. We really started at the
bottom,” McDonald said. “Coach (Adia)
Barnes and the other coaches. They do
a great job recruiting. They changed the
culture since I’ve been here. My team-
mates have put in so much work and it’s
exciting to see it all pay off.”
The Wildcats (20-5) won the Mercado
region as a No. 3 seed. McDonald has
scored at least 31 points in each of the
Wildcats previous two games. Against
Indiana in the regional final, she twisted
her left ankle with 2:35 left, but limped
back on to put the exclamation on the
win with a 3-point play. She said the ankle
should be fine Friday night.
“Nobody thinks we can win. We’re the
underdogs We’re going to play loose and
free” McDonald said.
The UConn-Arizona winner advances
to Sunday’s final against the winner
of Friday’s other semifinal matchup
between Stanford and South Carolina.
Auriemma and Barnes met in the 1998
women’s NCAA Tournament when
Barnes the point guard led Arizona to the
Sweet 16, in what had been the school’s
deepest tourney run. UConn won 74-57,
but Auriemma remembers Barnes, who
was the conference player of the year that
season, as an “impossible matchup.”
“You couldn’t guard her with a guard,
you couldn’t guard her with a forward,”
Auriemma said. “(Now) she has made
women’s basketball at Arizona supremely
important. She’s just, I think, a coach for
the future who’s having tremendous
success in the present.”

By Doug Feinberg

SAN ANTONIO — Dawn Staley remem-

The longtime Stanford coach actually
suggested that Staley not become the head
coach at the Philadelphia school because she
was still playing in the WNBA and wouldn’t
have the time to do both well.
Twenty-one years later and Staley admits
she still has a bit of a chip on her shoulder about
that conversation and has used it as motivation
both at Temple and now South Carolina.
“I don’t look down on her because she put
that chip on my shoulder,” Staley said. “I just
needed that, the past 21 years. I thank her for
making the chip a little bit bigger.”
The two friends meet Friday night in the

W
hen Sam Wilson, aka the

were denied a bank loan
for their family business in the
first episode of the Disney+ series
“The Falcon the Winter Soldier,” it
prompted all kinds of interesting
conversations about superheroes
and money. Who is getting paid

tion to the financial realities of
being a superhero. But be they
alien or cyborg or simply humans
imbued with extraordinary abil-
ities, none are exempt from the
shows have more room to noodle
around and the question of Sam’s
financial straits got me wondering
about the subtext: Do we gener-
ally expect certain people to “save”
us … for free? And if so, what does
that say about where we are as a
society?
The scene at the bank functions
primarily as an acknowledgment of
the systemic anti-Black racism that
exists in America. (Charles Pull-
iam-Moore wrote a terrific piece
recently for the pop culture site io9
that’s worth reading, about why the
show’s portrayal of racism is both
too much and not enough.)
But you can’t talk about that
billionaire like Tony Stark, Iron
Man himself, thought to ensure
Sam and the other Avengers were
taken care of in perpetuity?
That “one of the richest geniuses
in the world didn’t think about
that, but would have no hesitation
asking any Avenger to jump in front
of a bullet,” is a commentary all its
own, researcher and media critic
Sydette Harry noted on Twitter.
“And I think it’s super appropriate
for this moment.”
When the series opens, we learn
that Sam is working with the mili-
tary as a government contractor.
In the real world, companies like
this rake in millions of dollars, and
comic books have long incorpo-
rated economic realities into their
storylines.
“The question of how superhe-

comics,” said Julian Chambliss,
a professor at Michigan State
University and the author of
“Assembling the Marvel Cine-
matic Universe: Essays on the
Social, Cultural and Geopolitical

Rodrigo drops reflective new single
From news services
Olivia Rodrigo has
returned with the
follow-up single to her
record-breaking debut
release, “Drivers License,”
and announced that her
first album is coming on
May 21.
Released Thursday, the
track, titled “Deja Vu,”
details the suspicion that
one’s ex-significant other is
now doing everything that
made a relationship special
— with someone else.
Rodrigo’s vocals give
the song’s biting lyrics
a sweet kind of burn,
perhaps expanding on the
subject matter of “Drivers
License.”
“The concept of deja
vu has always fascinated
me, and I thought it would
be cool to use it in a song
around the complex feel-
ings after a relationship
ends,” Rodrigo says. “I
started writing and record-
ing ‘Deja Vu’ last fall and
had so much fun creating
the different melodies and
sonic textures that you
hear throughout.”
Rodrigo’s “Drivers
License” debuted at No. 1
across major streaming
services and broke the
Spotify record for the most
single-day streams for a
non-holiday song. The
song also had the biggest
weekly streaming debut
for any song globally in
Spotify’s history, and
debuted at the top of the
Billboard Hot 100.

in making the other kids
laugh than actually doing
what the nuns told us to do.
That was my talent — so I
went with it (he laughs),

It paid off all right. Since
then Leary has ticked off

Dear Amy: My fiance,

He will talk about any and

He doesn’t care if anyone
is interested in what he is
saying. He will tell endless
stories. It doesn’t matter
if he has told the same
story more than once to
the same person. He gets
started and doesn’t stop
until people walk away.
He can’t seem to read
the social cues that indi-
cate people want him to
stop talking. He has been
reprimanded more than
once by his employers
about talking to workers
on his job sites and wasting
their time on the clock.
If I invite friends over,
it doesn’t matter that we
are having a conversation;
he will interrupt and try to
steer the conversation to a
subject that he enjoys.
I’ve stopped inviting my
friends over because his
behavior is embarrassing.
He complains that he
has no real friends to
do things with but holy
smokes, I might know
why!
Albert is a really nice
guy, but I have started to
dread going to gatherings

DEAR CHICAGO:
A year into the pandemic, we are seeing the
resilience of Chicago’s arts and cultural community.

our sector continues to find ways to bring joy,
connect, challenge, and inspire. You cannot
stop artists from making, and they have provided

funding. We were the first to close and we will
be the last to reopen. Chicago’s arts sector has
experienced over $4.7 billion in lost revenue and
over 86,000 lost jobs in the past year.

We ask the City of Chicago to invest $25 million
for COVID relief for Chicago’s artists and cultural
institutions. We ask that this funding be distributed
equitably, prioritizing artists and communities of

color. If we agree that the arts are critical to the
lifeblood of this great city’s vitality and its future,
we also need to agree to invest public resources
to support this work.

regular stipend.
That kind of detail is distinct
from the approach taken by DC
Comics, said Chambliss, “where
they’re doing the right thing
because they have this noblesse
oblige because they’re very rich,
like Batman, and they fight crime
as a noble social mission. By
contrast, one of the things that
defined Marvel in the 60s was
this emphasis on the real. These
are characters that live in a world
that looks and feels exactly like
ours, it’s just a little bit more
incredible and a little bit more
fantastic. And this is because
Marvel launched at a time of
great social transformation, with
an emerging youth culture and
the civil rights movement and a
questioning of the status quo.
“And one of the things that
makes the Marvel characters so
accessible is they have the same
worries that you do,” he added.
“They have jobs and need those
jobs. Peter Parker is constantly
about to be evicted. He has a
terrible boss. But he’s still Spider-
Man, he shows up and saves the
day.”

sive experience,” said Jill Valen-
tine, executive director of Stage
773. “We are embracing a bold
new theatrical world as we recon-
ceive the relationship between
artist and audience.
“We dreamt of creating a venue
like no other in Chicago, one that
would become an immersive
art playground — part theatri-
cal performance, part an artis-
tic experience, part lighting and
media installation, and part expe-
riential wild roller coaster — that
could be considered a national
destination.”
Plans call for the new tick-
eted, self-guided endeavor,
which Valentine said would
employ human actors along with
extensive technology, to open in
November.
“By creating moments that
weave together art, technology,
storytelling and theater, we hope
to provide attendees with a trans-
formative experience, creating
wonder, connection, realization
and transcendence,” she said.
Valentine also said that the old
Stage 773 business model had
been leading to financial losses,
an issue naturally exacerbated by
the pandemic.

word of our time, but this is

open thanks to new guidelines,
those within the music industry
face greater hurdles. Not only did
the pandemic eliminate (legal)
concerts, parties and live perfor-
mances, it also may have elim-
inated an entire generation of
emerging music industry profes-
sionals.
The industry, of course, is
comprised of more than just the
musicians who make the music.
There are the venue owners,
event producers, bartenders,
teachers and fans, among many
others. And the success of the
industry hinges on each facet
coming together to create a
symbiotic relationship of music
consumption. But if there is no
booker to book the shows, no
venues to see them and no fans
interested in attending, where
does that leave the industry?
In a precarious state.
Prior to the pandemic, Andrew
Walker worked as security for the
Metro. As a music manager for
the musician Doso from 2016-
2019, Walker hoped his proximity
to promoters and booking agents
could provide opportunities for
Doso. Some of his efforts were
beginning to pay off.
Doso’s last show pre-pandemic
was March 1, 2020, at the Beat
Kitchen. However, once lock-
downs began, Walker said his
world essentially “stopped.”
“It was like everything shrunk,”
he recalled.
They tried coordinating lives-
tream shows, but without a
large, built-in fan base the shows
required too much capital to
make in the way they desired.
Since then, Walker has largely
been absent from the industry,
instead pivoting to carpentry, a
field he had been in before the
start of the pandemic.
What initially began as a good
source of daily income has turned
into a potential new career path.
Walker has applied to engineer-
ing school and may move to

Williams. “Peter Parker ends up
getting the job at the Daily Bugle
because he’s taking photos of
himself as Spider-Man and selling
them so he can make rent. So you
have this hero who has to have a 9
to 5 during the day and it’s a very
practical decision. At one point,
he even tries to join the Aveng-
ers specifically in the hopes of
making more money.”
As comics editor Kevin Phelan
points out in Screenrant: “If
Spider-Man’s early adventures
teach readers anything, it’s that
great powers may come with
great responsibility, but not
necessarily a great paycheck.”
That struggle is interesting
to me, because it says so much
about what we value as a culture.
Shouldn’t those who are taking
where we find ourselves and
it describes our situation,” she
said. “All of us at the helm of 773,
in collaboration with our board,
have been creatively assessing
options for a new way forward.”
Under its former name of
The Theatre Building (later
Theatre Building Chicago), Stage
773 played a crucial role in the
early development of Chicago’s
off-Loop theater movement,
housing hundreds of theater
companies and shows since its
founding in 1977 by the late Byron
Schaeffer, Jr., a longtime theater
professor at Northern Illinois
University.
A former grocery ware-
house acquired by Schaeffer for
$250,000, the space originally
had three, 148-seat theaters and
became a catalyst for the devel-
opment of Chicago’s Belmont
Avenue as an entertainment
district and indeed for that
section of Lakeview.
Notable actors who performed
there include John Malkovich
and Joan Allen (in Steppenwolf
Theatre Company’s “Say Good-
night, Gracie” in 1979), William
Petersen and Gary Cole (Remains
Theatre production of “The
Tooth of Crime” in 1982) and
David Schwimmer (the Look-
ingglass Theatre production of
“West” in 1991). For decades, the
building specialized in offering
space to companies that either

Oregon in the fall to do renewable
energy engineering. Although he
is still involved in Doso’s career,
he has also accepted a pivot away
from the industry.
Likewise, Joslyn-Marie
Alvarado, who prior to the
pandemic worked as a music
teacher by day and a musician at
night, has now finished her certi-
fication to become an optician.
“I don’t mind my day job, but I
truly miss having music in my day
all day long,” Alvarado said. “But
as a recently divorced woman
living on her own, you just do
what you got to do!”
Of course, the pandemic has
also offered some creative oppor-
tunities. For Brett Swinney, the
community arts engagement
manager for Art + Public Life at
the University of Chicago, the
lessons he has gained during the
pandemic will continue to fuel
his programming initiatives in a
post-vaccinated world.
“This whole chaotic expe-
rience was this whole call to
the biggest risks, with the highest,
be paid the most?
Chambliss had a better
perspective: “Shouldn’t you pay
more money to the people who
could prevent these calamities
in the first place? Wouldn’t it
be better to pay teachers more,
so they can have more time and
smaller classes and put more
emphasis on emotional intelli-
gence? Wouldn’t it be better to
make sure that everybody every-
where has food at all times? That
everybody has a place to live?
Because if you did that, how many
people who are doing bad things
would be doing those bad things?
Statistically, a lot of things would
be better.”
I think about how much we
collectively as a society rely on
or preferred to avoid that burden.
Notable Chicago theater
companies that were residents
there at one point or another
include Chicago Shakespeare
Theater, Famous Door Theatre
Company, Porchlight Music
Theatre, Bailiwick Repertory
Theatre and both Steppenwolf
and Remains. And that is far from
a complete list.
The Theatre Building, run for
years by Ruth Higgins, Schaeffer’s
widow, also produced new musi-
cals under its own New Tuners
moniker.
In 2010, the building was
sold for $1 million to a group
called Chicago Muse (then run
by Sean Cercone, now the CEO
and president of the powerful
company Broadway Licensing).
Chicago Muse then handed over
the building in 2012 to Lukaba
Productions, a group of inves-
tors associated with the Chicago
director and improvisor Brian
Posen, who resigned as creative
director of Stage 773 in 2017
following allegations of inap-
propriate behavior. (Lukaba also
acquired the storefront directly to
the east of the building in 2012.)
In more recent years, the build-
ing has specialized in burlesque,
sketch comedy and improv festi-
vals, although it continued to
rent to groups such as American
Blues, Hell in a Handbag Produc-
tions and others.
Lukaba will remain the owner,
action to develop this new set of
rules and stay consistent to the
qualities and values that existed
before,” said Swinney, adding that
the drive to do something and do
it together made the difference.
“Everyone approached it
differently, from Elastic Arts to
Constellation to Links,” he said.
“I think everyone kind of knew
they were over their heads in the
beginning, but with that collabo-
ration it felt easier to transition.”
They also began to notice that
while the arts community came
together to support perfor-
mances, it still fell short in repre-
sentation outside of a white lens.
Enter Real Freedom Projects,
a Black-led platform launched
by arts industry professionals to
highlight projects from BIPOC
creators in Chicago.
“We knew within our collective
capacities we could start creating
more opportunities for artists and
performers like us,” Swinney said.

the work of organizers and activ-
ists, who put themselves on the
front line and push for the kind
of material changes that improve
our lives. It might be one of the
most financially precarious ways
to live your life. It costs money
to advocate for change. It’s time
consuming. And draining. Those
costs are also reflected in super-
hero stories.
“Everybody needs money,”
Williams said. “Those organizers
and activists still have to operate
in a capitalist society. So do super-
heroes. The parallels are there. So
regardless, bills are going to come
due.”
Speaking of actual costs,
Chambliss mentioned the
comic “Damage Control,” which
features “a company in the
Marvel Universe that cleans up
after battles. But we haven’t seen
that in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe yet,” with the exception
of “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
I would watch that.
“Would you?” Chambliss asked
doubtfully.
I would! And I’m not alone in
seeing the potential. ABC green-
lit a series based on the comic in
2015. A show never materialized,
but Disney’s ambitions for the
Marvel brand seem never-ending.
And if its early slate of shows has
proved anything, the company is
willing to experiment.

and the yet-untitled producer of
the yet-untitled show will oper-
ate under the Lukaba nonprofit
umbrella with Valentine, Posen
and the visual artist CoCo Ree
Lemery involved as creatives and
other artistic collaborators to be
named later.
The Posen Family Foundation
will provide some of the funding
for the show, although there are
other investors.
The new venture has disrupted
the plans of some longtime Stage
773 tenants, including Hell in a
Handbag Productions.
“Our finish line to surviving the
pandemic and industry shutdown
has been moved,” said American
Blues artistic director Gwendolyn
Whiteside.
“In order to open for our artists
and audiences this year, we’ll run
a marathon disguised as a short
sprint. We’re looking forward to
reopening to live, in-person audi-
ences for the 20th anniversary
of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life: Live in
Chicago!’ We are currently look-
ing for a home. Like Mary Bailey,
I’m throwing a rock and making a
wish on a building.”
Much the same could be said
for Lukaba, apparently coming
out of the pandemic with a strik-
ingly distinctive and ambitious
enterprise.

pandemic opened up opportuni-
ties for the two to learn from and
collaborate with artists in a way
they never had in the past.
“We’re all locked down, but
our curiosity hasn’t been elimi-
nated,” said Maris, who launched
an Instagram live series featur-
ing artists from different medi-
ums discussing their creative
processes. “The impetus to
connect with artists on this really
personal, almost urgent level,
has become heightened and it’s
become really beautiful.”
Earlier this year, the duo
released the video for their new
single “Line of Best Fit,” featur-
ing Miranda Quinn, a dancer
from Alvin Ailey American Dance
Theater, in New York, who also
appeared on Maris’s Instagram
Live show. And the two also
wrote and recorded new music
utilizing safe COVID protocols.
“This LP is the thing we’re
most proud of during this time,”
said Maris. “Even if we hadn’t
recorded, I’d still be proud of us.”
One of the most difficult
aspects of navigating this
pandemic, however, has been
figuring out what comes after
it. Venues like Thalia Hall and
Constellation have begun experi-
menting with intimate live events.
Kristen Kaza, an event creator
and owner of No Small Plans
Productions, said she is trying
to take her next steps. After
releasing informal polls on her
Instagram account, Kaza said
the pandemic has made her and
other professionals recognize the
unsustainability of the industry.
“It was already operating on
really thin margins, already a very
volatile and unreliable proposi-
tion to expect pay equity depend-
ing on ticket sales,” Kaza says.
Taking cues from the restau-
rant industry, she is looking at
building in fees in ticket prices
that go back to the workers.
Kaza is also considering ways
to make music spaces more
accommodating for the audience.

the pandemic was not just a

a way for fans — many of whom
may not have been able to see
artists in the past due to financial,
psychological or physical limita-
tions — to participate in the music
viewing experience.
“Many people find bars, clubs,
venues difficult to access,” Kaza
said. “What I’m really hoping is
we … (expand) our idea of what
it can look like to be together. I
don’t want things to go back to
what they were.”
For those within and outside of
the music industry, the pandemic
has caused lasting psychological
scars that will likely take years to
unravel. For an industry reliant on
in-person interactions, how will
they recover from more than a
year without?

don’t know if I’ll be able to feel
fully at ease in that social setting
— socially, emotionally — after
this year,” Baruc said.
She had left her gig at Uncom-
mon Ground right before the start
of the pandemic and planned
to focus more on her visual art,
including creating a solo show
featuring a live music lineup.
“My friend explained it the
other day: We are holding still,
but the information we are taking
in every day is moving so fast,”
Baruc said. “I’m hesitant to create
a social setting that just tries to
act like, ‘Hey, let’s just get back
to normal.’ I think people will
have difficult realizations in that
setting.”
What comes next for the
Chicago music community is a
test of patience and drive. How
does the industry adapt to a
changed world after months
spent outside of it?
As the world picks up the
pieces from the shattering of our
everyday conventions, so too
does Chicago’s music community.
What we will experience moving
forward may not look the same as
before, but it is better than noth-
ing at all.

‘EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE’ ★★

A-list cast let down by flimsy

script in domestic potboiler
By Katie Walsh
Tribune News Service

While watching “Every

Breath You Take,” a
domestic potboiler with a
story ripped straight from
a Lifetime movie, there’s
really only one question
Univision Communications is launching its own streaming service, PrendeTV. DREAMSTIME (aside from some of the
more egregious plot holes):

Spanish-language TV giant
How did Oscar winner
Casey Affleck become
involved in this project?

launches streaming service

By Meg James
Los Angeles Times
Univision Communica-
tions is making an ambi-
tious push into streaming
with PrendeTV, an adver-
tising-supported Span-
ish-​​language service with
more than three dozen live
television channels and a
deep library of on-demand
programs.
The recent launch of
PrendeTV comes just three
months after a new owner-
ship group took control
of Univision with a goal
of returning the storied
Spanish-language broad-
caster to prominence. The
company stumbled during
its 14-year ownership by
private equity investors
who were slow to recog-
nize generational changes
in TV viewership — and
the rise of Netflix.
Univision, based in
Miami, is promoting
PrendeTV as the first U.S.
streaming service stocked
entirely with Spanish-​
language programming.
Unlike many of its
competitors — including
Netflix, FuboTV, Sling TV
and AT&T TV — the Pren-
deTV app can be down-
loaded and watched for
free. Univision believes
ad-supported platforms
will have the biggest
potential for growth, and it
has signed up such major
advertisers as McDonald’s,
Coca-Cola, Toyota, Chase
bank and Walmart to help
support the programming,
according to Univision’s
president and chief trans-
formation officer, Pierluigi
Gazzolo.
Univision’s high-stakes
gamble on streaming
comes amid declines in
traditional television view-
ership. Its longtime rival,
Telemundo, also is seeking
to engage Latinos with its
offerings on NBCUniver-
sal’s Peacock streaming
service, which is available
for $4.99 a month.
Univision’s new service
provides livestreams of its
two over-the-air broadcast
TV networks — Univision
and UniMas — but not the
company’s popular cable
TV channels.
At launch, the service
will offer more than 40
entertainment chan-
nels, including movies,
sports and children’s
programming. It also
will have 11,000 hours
of on-​demand library
content, which includes
shows from Univision and
Mexico City-based Grupo
Televisa (a minority owner
of Univision), as well as
Brooklyn-based FilmRise
and international power-
houses Caracol TV in
Colombia and Rede Globo
in Brazil.
Prende (which in
English means to “turn
on”) will eventually have
more than 150 films from
Hollywood studios, includ-
ing Walt Disney Co., Lions-
gate and MGM.
At launch, the service
will have nine telenovela
channels; seven movie
channels, including “Cine
Boom” and “Cine Holly-
wood”; and three family
channels. It also will offer
soccer channels including
“Liga Mex” and “Futbol
Europeo.”
PrendeTV will be avail-
able to users of Amazon
Fire TV, Apple TV and
iPhone, as well as Google’s
Android phones and TV.
Gazzolo said Univision has
been negotiating a distri-
bution deal with Roku.
This isn’t Univision’s
first foray into streaming.
The broadcaster previ-
ously experimented with
platforms devoted to the
company’s programming,
including its melodra-
matic soap operas. And
nearly two months ago,
Univision bought another
ad-supported indepen-
dent streaming platform
— VIX TV — which has
over 20,000 hours of Span-
ish-language program-
ming. Univision plans to
combine VIX with Pren-
deTV.
The debut of screen-
writer David Murray,
“Every Breath You Take”
is directed by Vaughn
Stein, whose last outing,
the prestige-schlock flick
“Inheritance” starring Lily
Collins, follows the same
blueprint as this family
thriller: A-list actors and
the sheen of big budget
production values applied
to a pulpy, B-movie plot.
German actress Veron-
ica Ferres serves as a
producer on the film, and
co-stars as the concerned
boss of Phillip (Affleck),
which is probably why
this otherwise minor
role becomes so inte-
gral. Phillip is a psychol-
ogist, a bookish, quiet
man married to Grace
(Michelle Monaghan)
and father to Lucy (India
Eisley). As the film opens,
the family mourns the loss
of Grace and Phillip’s son,
killed in a tragic car acci-
dent. Unable to connect
with his wife and daugh-
ter over this unspeakable
loss, Phillip throws himself
into his work, especially
the treatment of a troubled
young woman, Daphne
(Emily Alyn Lind), with
whom he takes a nontra-
ditional approach, sharing
his own personal struggles
as a method to get her to
open up.
When Daphne turns
up dead of an apparent
suicide, her brother, James
(Sam Claflin), turns up on
Phillip’s doorstep. Sent
to school in England at a
India Eisley as Lucy in “Every Breath You Take,” which is playing
in select theaters. ED ARAQUEL/VERTICAL ENTERTAINMENT
young age, the prodigal
son and self-proclaimed
unsuccessful novelist has
returned to the dreary
Pacific Northwest because
an agent is interested in
his writing. Now, he finds
himself packing up his
sister’s home. Phillip and
Grace invite the seemingly
bashful James to dinner,
which, as it turns out, is a
bit like asking a vampire
to cross your threshold.
Almost immediately, it’s
obvious that James’ inten-
tions are sinister, if a bit
vague, as he begins show-
ing up at Lucy’s school and
Grace’s real estate show-
ings, ingratiating himself
into their lives, and ulti-
mately, secretly seducing
both.
Michael Merri-
man’s cinematography
is sleek and sophisti-
cated, rendered in a cold
palette of icy blues and
grays appropriate to the
setting. The score of whin-
ing strings, composed by
Marlon Espino, does the
heavy lifting when the
script does not, acting as
a warning siren of sorts
when it comes to James.
Clues as to James’s identity
are not threaded through-
out, but merely dumped in
a baffling climatic reveal.
That the audience isn’t
brought in on unravel-
ing this mystery is deeply
unsatisfying.
Affleck is in his element
as a grieving father unable
to access his emotions,
pushing away his wife and
daughter. Phillip’s sorrow
permeates the atmosphere,
as James drives a wedge
into his already cracked
family unit. Claflin is a
fascinating actor too. One
never knows if he’s sinis-
ter or sincere, and he’s
skilled in his ability to slide
between the two modes,
turning them on and off as
he manipulates the women
around him. But the script
conceals too much of his
character, and doesn’t
offer anything psycholog-
ically rich or complex for
either actor to work with.
Every character is merely a
stereotype or symbol, not a
fully-fleshed out person.
Indeed, one has to
wonder what every actor,
including Monaghan, is
doing in this flimsily writ-
ten psychological thriller,
but perhaps, that question
isn’t even worth the spec-
ulation.
MPAA rating: R (some
violence, profanity and brief
sexuality)
Running time: 1:45
Where to watch: In select
theaters and available on
demand on April 2

The Magician finished down two in this contract. He had
