Vaccine ignorance triumphs in TennesseeContributoron July 20, 2021 at 12:54 am

We live in ignorant times.

By now, surely this is obvious beyond argument to anyone who’s been paying attention. From the Capitol insurrectionist who thought he was storming the White House to Sen. Tim Scott’s claim that “woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy” to whatever thing Tucker Carlson last said, ignorance is ascendant.

Yet, even by that dubious standard, what happened recently in Tennessee bears note. According to a story by Brett Kelman of the Tennessean newspaper in Nashville, the state, under pressure from Republican lawmakers, fired its top immunization official, Dr. Michelle Fiscus, and shut down all vaccine outreach to young people. Fiscus’ sin? Doing her job, working to increase access to the COVID-19 shot among kids.

Specifically, she sent a letter to healthcare providers reminding them that under the state’s “Mature Minor Doctrine,” they are legally allowed to vaccinate children 14 years or older without parental consent. According to Fiscus, the letter, written in response to requests for guidance made by those administering the shots, utilized language drafted by an attorney for the department of health and was vetted by the governor’s office.

In-depth political coverage, sports analysis, entertainment reviews and cultural commentary.

All that notwithstanding, it infuriated some state lawmakers. They used words like “extreme disappointment” and “reprehensible” and talked of closing the health department. Some anonymous person even sent Fiscus a dog muzzle. Then she was fired, and the state shut down all vaccine publicity efforts targeting young people.

This means no postcards sent out to remind kids to get their shots, no nudges on social media, no flyers or advertisements, no events at schools, no outreach whatsoever. And not just for COVID, mind you, but for everything — measles, mumps, tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis, polio.

In a pandemic.

In a state with a less-than-stellar COVID vaccination rate.

At a time when experts are tracking the rise of a deadlier new COVID variant.

It is hard to imagine behavior dumber, more dangerous, more short-sighted and more downright bass-ackward than that exhibited by Tennessee and its lawmakers.

Which is, unfortunately, right on brand for this country in this era. It was in the 2000s that Stephen Colbert coined the term “truthiness” to describe the right wing’s secession from objective fact, and some of us began to speak of them as living in an “alternate reality.” How, we wondered in newspaper columns and speeches, can we have meaningful discourse if we cannot agree on basic facts?

Years later, that concern feels too abstract. The threat turns out to be more visceral and urgent than any of us could have imagined. Yes, some people live in alternate realities. What’s worse, though, is when they have power to impose those realities on the rest of us. That’s what we’re seeing in Tennessee and elsewhere, and the results will be as tragic as they are predictable and preventable.

Ignorance is bliss, they say. But it isn’t.

Ignorance is fever.

Ignorance is chills.

Ignorance is trouble breathing.

Ignorance is an empty seat at the table, a bedroom come suddenly available.

Because ignorance is death.

And while the aphorism isn’t true, can you imagine if it were, if ignorance really were bliss? Disney theme parks would have to find a new slogan.

Right now, Tennessee would be the happiest place on Earth.

Turn the Thompson Center into a casinoLetters to the Editoron July 19, 2021 at 11:58 pm

The best repurposing of the Thompson Center could be to turn it into the casino that the city has been struggling to find a home for. It is a CTA hub so it can be accessed from just about anywhere in the city and suburbs without adding significant auto traffic. That in turn would provide a boost in ridership for the CTA.

The building is large enough to house hotels, restaurants and shops to enhance the experience. Some of that foot traffic would likely spill over to the surrounding area giving it an economic boost as well. The article in the Sun Times noted a roughly $325 million cost to rehab. To turn it into a casino would likely cost more than that. However, any new casino owner would likely spend more to build a casino from the ground up especially if it involved razing an existing structure where investing in surrounding infrastructure would likely be required. This could be a win-win.

Don’t expand Red Line

As a South Sider, I should be for expanding the Red Line from 95th Street to 130th Street. But I am not.

Taking the Red Line from 130th to downtown will take close to an hour. What’s the point? Better to expand Metra so we can get downtown in 20 minutes, same as North Siders. Few people in Skokie take the Yellow Line downtown. They take Metra, which is three times faster.

But our politicians trumpet the project because they see loads of free federal cash and jobs, but make no mistake, it won’t help South Siders get downtown.

Civic sin

Commenting on the voter ID requirement in the new state laws making voting more inconvenient, a reader tries to compare it to other common ID requirements (Letters, July 19). He almost makes sense, until you realize that, unlike his examples, nobody can vote unless one is already registered to vote, or they won’t even be given a ballot. Tacking on extra requirements as is being done in red states is a naked attempt to further intimidate or block as many Democrat voters as they can get away with. Secondary voter ID besides one’s wallet card issued by the local registration authority is just a last-ditch new hurdle, none of which was thought to be important as long as Trump won, but suddenly is a big deal because Trump lost, even though in any election, voter fraud when found is so minuscule it cannot arithmetically change the outcome of any election, as is being confirmed in the current ongoing extra recount of Arizona ballots taking place now.

Voter IDs combined with all the other roadblocks created by the new laws and other maneuverings meant to reduce voting in minority areas may actually backfire, inasmuch as one tactic is to limit or outlaw mail-in voting, a method used heavily by the infirm or the elderly, which historically has enabled many Republicans to vote. If the safeguards that existed when Trump won were considered adequate, explain how suddenly they are inadequate just because Trump lost. We should call out these draconian new voting restrictions, of which new ID requirements are a part, for what they are: part of a naked attempt to fix elections in favor of Republican candidates in red states, which threatens the constitutional rights of millions in those states. That is the real civic sin at issue, not the false bogeyman called voter fraud.

Chicago duo buys iO theater, plans to resume improv shows and classesDarel Jevenson July 20, 2021 at 12:48 am

Don’t turn the lights out on the iO theater just yet.

The North Side comedy house’s longtime owner, Charna Halpern, said Monday that she has sold the building and the iO brand to a pair of local real estate executives.

The buyers, Scott Gendell and Larry Weiner, intend to reopen the space at 1501 N. Kingsbury St. and resume offering improv shows and classes there, she said.

In its 40 years in business, iO (formerly ImprovOlympic) built a reputation for nurturing creativity and helped shape future stars including Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Stephen Colbert, Chris Farley and Mike Myers. For many years it was the educational outlet for the volatile visionary Del Close, an actor and director highly regarded for his eye for talent.

Gendell and Weiner were not available for comment, but in a statement issued through Halpern, the longtime friends said they planned to “continue the cultural gem that is this iconic theater.”

A Sea Change for a time of upheavalCatey Sullivanon July 19, 2021 at 9:15 pm

It begins, as many wonderful things do, with the sea. Enter the outdoor space at Pilsen’s BRNDHAUS-PLZEN, and the squawk and swoop of real-life gulls merges with those of Sea Change, the latest offering from the wildly creative minds behind Cabinet of Curiosity.

Throughout the roughly 70-minute production featuring music, puppetry, dance, and storytelling, directors Michael Cotey and Frank Maugeri’s seven-person cast evokes the vastness of the coastal oceans; places where worlds we know nothing of will continue long after we’re gone, just as they did long before we were here.

The script–penned by Lindsey Noel Whiting, Kasey Foster, Bethany Thomas, Liz Chidester, and Seth Bockley–deals with matters ranging from the patriarchal bullshit that sea sirens and mermaids have to put up with (Howard Pyle et al. left out a few things, it would seem) to the ever-tightening vise of climate change. Each of the loosely connected scenes are embedded with a song or two, some haunting, some delightfully silly, all threaded together with an overarching, profoundly feminist sensibility.

The production was originally created as an indoor spectacle, but COVID-19 changed that.

Opening night came with bonus drama as Maugeri and his team of vocalists/actors/dancers/puppeteers scrambled to make their open-air space just a bit more watertight. As thunder clouds roiled overhead and mist escalated into rain, the crew scrambled to set up a waterproof space for the drum kit and the electric violin as well as a tent for the crowd gathering.

“I’m being punished for my sins,” Maugeri announced before delivering one of the most engaging curtain speeches I’ve heard in 30 years. But even with some of the sound and lighting tech compromised or altered opening night, Sea Change was a magical experience, that threat of rain creating a sense of heightened community.

The cast (Kasey Foster, Sadie Rose Glaspey, Manae Hammond, Allison Grischow, Olivia Rose Comai, Sofia Balabanova-Gebreab, and Time Brickey) works with the elaborately vivid creations of puppet and object designers Ellie Terrell, Jillian Gryzlak, Jesse Mooney-Bullock, and Milam Smith, sharing the stage with underwater creatures as small as a seagull and as massive as a great blue whale.

Designer Shawn Ketchum Johnson’s set is essentially an ark fashioned from a series of (what appear to be) shipping containers. Ensemble members haul open the heavy doors throughout, revealing the ship’s inner workings or portholes that provide unexpected views of the deeps.

In Bockley’s The Lookout, we meet the man in the crow’s nest, a gent who loves his job high on the mast, ever on the alert for whales, pirates, rocks. He’s supposed to be minding the boiler as well, but he’s not, despite the troubled queries of a stranded seagull, a bird who knows a boiler-about-to-blow when they hear it. The boiler issue is a recurring theme throughout and while it sounds like a metaphor with the subtlety of a clawhammer, it actually works; the point is made, the seagull sidekick is comic gold.

When a gigantic whale glides slowly into sight–increasing to seemingly impossible dimensions not entirely unlike that Christmas tree in The Nutcracker–it’s as thrilling as a whale watch off Cape Cod. Noel Whiting’s Whale Song is also as troubling, because more and more, these magnificent creatures are falling victim to warming seas and hunters.

The whale here has a great deal to say about current conditions in a scene that unscrolls like a moving comic book while cast members slowly crank a series of handles. We meet Dave, an ordinary man who puts himself in an extraordinary situation, in what turns out to be rather an anti-Moby Dick. The scene is an elegiac reminder of just how fleeting the life of a species is in the grand scheme of things.

In Thomas’s A Mermaid’s Tail (If There’s a God), we get a drolly tragic, utterly unromantic autobiography of sorts from a mermaid/sea siren. The puppetry is intricate: As the larger-than-human-sized mermaid takes a deep dive into the man-made mythos rules that dictate her life and death, she slowly, resignedly sheds her scales. In the end, all that’s left of her is seafoam. And maybe, that’s all that’s left for any of us when you get right down to it. There are worse ways to end up.

Foster’s alternately whimsical and chilling More (which includes music by Charlie Otto) stars the moon, as a troubled shark grapples with some pointedly human issues involving the brutality of supply and demand on planet Earth. The moon–who has seen more than a few species flame out–has some good advice. Whether the flesh-and-blood creatures below will heed it remains an open question.

On a more lighthearted note: Whatever you do, do not sleep on the jellyfish scene. They’ll almost make you believe you’re underwater, in the best possible way. v

Blackhawks ‘excited about the quality’ of possible 12th overall picks at 2021 NHL draftBen Popeon July 19, 2021 at 10:56 pm

For the second consecutive year, the Blackhawks’ amateur scouting team has dealt with countless odd challenges while preparing for the 2021 NHL Draft.

Last year’s draft postponement to October left them fewer months to scout this year’s prospects, mostly via video. Canadian junior leagues held little to no games and all prospect interviews occurred over Zoom. The draft itself will be conducted virtually, with the Hawks gathered at another makeshift war room inside Fifth Third Arena.

But Hawks scouting director Mark Kelley feels confident as the Hawks — even while waiting for Wednesday’s expansion draft results — make their final preparations for the first round Friday (7 p.m., ESPN2) and second through seventh rounds Saturday (10 a.m., NHL Network).

“It’s almost been so strange that it feels like normal,” Kelley said Monday. “What we’re always trying to find out is how many players we think can affect a franchise… Once we get through that and we look at the first round, this draft mirrors most every other draft.”

The Hawks officially hold the 12th pick, but it’ll function as the 11th pick because the Coyotes’ actual 11th pick is forfeited. They also own two second-round picks (44th and 62nd), two fourth-round picks (105th and 108th), one sixth-round pick (172nd) and two seventh-round picks (204th and 216th).

Draft experts have described a growing consensus on the top nine skaters and top two goalies, but Kelley noted “not everyone is seeing the draft the way it’s being put in print.” He feels it’s more like a consensus top eight overall players.

Either way, the Hawks will most likely choose among the best in the second tier.

“It’s a little bit like last year at 17th — we’re going to need a little bit of help from other teams to look at [our options] differently,” he said. “[But] anytime you’re picking at 11th, you’re excited about the quality of player that’s going to be evaluated. Right now, we’re trying to get a sense for what we feel the teams ahead of us are going to do, and we’re getting close on that.”

The two goalies, Jesper Wallstedt and Sebastian Cossa, are interesting storylines as both are expected to land around 11th. The Hawks picked goalie Drew Commesso in the second round last year, but that doesn’t rule this possibility out.

Cossa’s 17-1-1 record and .941 save percentage in Canadian juniors last season “gets your attention,” Kelley said. And the Hawks have a “deeper history” of scouting Wallstedt, who went 12-10-0 with a .907 save percentage in the far tougher Swedish league — a “very, very good year.”

Among available forwards, Matthew Coronato, Cole Sillinger and Chaz Lucius have long been considered the Hawks’ most likely picks unless someone like Kent Johnson falls on Friday.

Kelley said he’s impressed by “how much better [Coronato] got as the year went on,” how Sillinger can “shoot the puck as well as anyone” and how Lucius “scored at a rate that would rival anyone that has gone through” the U.S. National Team Development Program.

Russian center Fyodor Svechkov‘s stock has risen sharply of late, however, due to a dominant performance (10 points in seven games) at the Under-18 Championships. He may now be on the Hawks’ radar, too. Kelley exclaimed about how Svechkov’s play is “just so solid on both ends of the ice.”

Among defensemen, there’s a perceived gap between the top four (all of whom should go in the top eight overall picks) and the next tier, but Kelley believes the “falloff isn’t far.”

Corson Ceulemans and Carson Lambos sit atop that next tier. Kelley likes Ceulemans’ “physical presence,” but the Hawks know Lambos — a “mobile defenseman that can get up and down the ice” — better because he played in their Finnish scout’s hometown.

Other, less likely 11th-pick possibilities include forwards Brennan Othmann, Fabian Lysell, Isak Rosen, Xavier Bourgault, Zachary Bolduc, Aatu Raty and Nikita Chibrikov and defenseman Daniil Chayka.

If the White Sox have a weak spot, it’s their defenseJohn Grochowski | For the Sun-Timeson July 19, 2021 at 11:25 pm

The White Sox have earned their American League-best 56-36 record (through Sunday) at the plate and on the mound.

Their 5.12 runs per game rank third in the AL behind the Astros (5.35) and Blue Jays (5.21), and they have been the AL’s stingiest team with 3.77 runs allowed per game (to 3.99 for the runner-up Astros) and with a 3.55 ERA (to 3.59 for the runner-up Rays).

In the field, there’s room for improvement. By old-school fielding percentage, the Sox’ .981 ranks 13th among the AL’s 15 teams. But they fare better by numbers that capture more of the defensive picture.

With a .693 defensive-efficiency ratio, 32 points behind the Astros but two points above average, the Sox rank eighth in the AL.

Their minus-12 defensive runs saved suggests they’ve allowed 12 more runs than an average defense facing equivalent contact. That ranks 10th, with the Rays leading at plus-56.

Runs saved are compiled for each player. The Sox’ leader has been pitcher Dallas Keuchel with six runs saved, followed by outfielder Adam Engel with five runs saved in center.

On the North Side, the Cubs are struggling with a 46-47 record (through Sunday) but have a .709 defensive efficiency and are on the positive side with 24 runs saved.

The major problem with fielding percentage is that it doesn’t account for defenders’ range. Imagine two defenses face 100 balls in play, equivalent in location and velocity. One team turns 90 balls into outs but makes 10 errors. It has a .900 fielding percentage. The other makes plays on only 80 balls, turning them all into outs, makes no errors but allows 20 hits. It has a 1.000 fielding percentage.

The better defense is the one with the lower fielding percentage that turned 10 extra balls into outs.

Defensive-efficiency ratio tackles that problem by focusing on the percentage of balls in play turned into outs. The formula is 1 – (hits plus reached on error minus home runs) / (plate appearances minus walks minus strikeouts minus hit-by-pitches minus home runs).

Defensive runs saved charts every play for batted-ball location, velocity, good plays, bad plays and more. It asks whether a fielder makes more or fewer plays than an average fielder facing the same situations.

An average defender or an average defensive team would have zero runs saved.

Beyond Keuchel and Engel, Leury Garcia has taken a utility route to four runs saved — one run each at third base, shortstop, left field and right field.

For the Cubs, Javy Baez at short and Nico Hoerner at second each have five runs saved and catcher Willson Contreras and right fielder Jason Heyward have three each. So does Matt Duffy, whose runs saved all are at third, despite having played only 168 innings there.

In sum, the Sox are one of the best teams in baseball, but their defense could be tighter.

Teatro ZinZanni revives Loop theater with laughs, thrills and a slo-mo pieCatey Sullivan – For the Sun-Timeson July 19, 2021 at 11:48 pm

It didn’t take long Thursday night at Teatro ZinZanni for The Caesar — a.k.a. the dinner theater production’s emcee/ringmaster/clown-in-chief — to get loud about the return of in-person, live theater to Chicago’s Loop.

Three times, the last with the audience roaring along, The Caesar (Frank Ferrante) roared toward the heavens: “We are here!” Part battle cry, part defiant declaration, all unbridled exuberance, it was a fittingly raucous and celebratory moment.

When: Open run

Where: Cambria Hotel, 32 W. Randolph

Tickets: $119 – $189 (includes dinner; drinks extra)

Run-time: 2 hours and 40 minutes, including two intermissions

Info: zinzanni.com/Chicago

Well, as celebratory as one can get with COVID-19 still lurking. While vaccinations are mandatory for all staff and performers affiliated with the show, there is no such mandate for patrons. Masks also are not mandated (but are encouraged for the unvaccinated) for audience members like the ones who entered the grand Spiegeltent on the 14th floor of the Cambria Hotel for Thursday’s opening night — the first the Loop has hosted since the lockdown last March. Two friends of mine were quickly moved to another table after they found out they’d been seated with an unvaccinated couple in the near-capacity, 200-person dining room where the show is punctuated by a meal created by the Goddess and Grocer’s Debbie Sharpe. Opening night, there weren’t many empty seats, nary a vestige of social distancing and few masks.

ZinZanni originally opened back in July 2019 only to fall victim, along with the rest of the theater world, to COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns the following year. Certain key elements — namely Ferrante and master clown/co-director Joe DePaul — remain intact. The rebooted and retooled acts are fantastically over-the-top and more than diverting enough to make you momentarily forget we’re emerging from a pandemic. Truly, there’s nothing like top-drawer aerial artists, contortionists, a one-person ode to King Kong, a golden chariot pulled by fluttering doves, a couple seducing each other with lettuce, and a pie floating in extreme slo-mo toward an unsuspecting Cleopatra to take your mind off your troubles.

The aforementioned Spiegeltent is reminiscent of a lobby/bar/theater space serving decor that’s “Eyes Wide Shut” by way of Liberace’s mansion and a Moulin Rouge floor show. With RuPaul’s “Sissy That Walk” featured prominently in the preshow music, the champagne bar, the regular bar and a gift shop selling pricey tiaras take on the feel of a catwalk.

There are kinks, so to speak, during the nearly three-hour production directed by ZinZanni founder Norm Langill, with Ferrante joining DePaul as a co-director.

The biggest issue: Way. Too. Much. Audience interaction. Non-professionals, a.k.a. people you wouldn’t pay to see, take up about 20 minutes of stage time. A bit involving a dance-off among three audience members has a great denouement, but it was a long, repetitious time coming. Audience interaction inevitably brings out some himbo who thinks they’re funnier than the professionals and while Ferrante is a master at breaking the fourth wall, (“You look like every Republican senator I’ve ever met.”), he resorted to shouting “SIT THE HELL DOWN” when a guy in front didn’t get the directive the first few times.

The irritants fade when the performers get the spotlight. The plot is incidental: We’re in The Caesar’s restaurant, where Cleopatra has decided to hang out after 2,000 or so years in a sarcophagus.

As The Caesar and Marco Antonio (DePaul) bombastically extol the beauty of Cleopatra (Storm Marrero), she emerges from the tomb, a royal for the ages. When Marrero launches into “Sympathy for the Devil,” it sounds like the music is welling up from somewhere ancient, an offering from the Gods of Belt. Marrero isn’t the only one with pipes. The single monikered Cunio boasts both an eerie falsetto and a rocker’s growl worthy of an arena, all while rocking six-inch ruby slippers.

Hula-hooping contortionist Vita Radionova turns centrifugal force into ethereal beauty as she morphs into a human slinky. Oliver Parkinson and Cassie Cutler (Duo 19) do a trapeze pas de deux to “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” that is every bit as hallucinatory as you’d expect. Aerialist Lea Hinz and dancer Mickael Bajazet evoke old-time Hollywood with a delightfully Chaplinesque duet. A live, five-piece onstage band conducted by Bill Underwood adds intensity and drama to the acts.

The other area that needs work is the dining service. Our silverware arrived about 10 minutes after our entrees. By the time we had finished, the people sitting behind us hadn’t yet been served. Sharpe’s menu includes a choice of entrees, hummus and olives, Caesar salad and chocolate mousse; drinks and appetizers run $7 – $16.

The bit that leaves the biggest impression, however, belongs to DePaul, a clown worthy of Sir Toby Belch, or any other of Shakespeare’s magnificently foolish wits. It all starts as a random celebration of nonsense: There’s a shoe filled with celery, a to-the-skivvies striptease in a garbage can, a beheaded Barbie, a fleet of paper airplanes, a paper box. DePaul takes seemingly random lunacies and turns them into a one-person re-creation of one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time. When it suddenly comes into focus, you will be not only laughing, but outright guffawing and you won’t give a darn about missing silverware.
