“Reimagining Utopia” focuses on multidisciplinary artists and visions of a better future.
Recently, several articles appeared about the phenomenon of “Hygiene Theater”—the focus on largely ineffective COVID-19 safety measures like Clorox wipes and plexiglass dividers designed to give people a false sense of security indoors. Some in the theater industry are rapidly signing up for this new brand of drama, such as Broadway announcing that it will reopen at 100 percent capacity in September, eager to trade profits for the safety of its patrons and casts. …Read More
All city-operated vaccination sites on Thursday will begin offering Pfizer vaccinations to kids between the ages of 12 and 15.
The announcement this morning came a day after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization for that age group and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to grant full approval tomorrow.
“Like adults, all youth age 12 and older are encouraged to get the vaccine,” said Chicago’s chief health official Dr. Allison Arwady said in a statement.
The statement said city-operated vaccine site appointments for Thursday can be booked through the City’s call center at 312-746-4835 or through www.zocdoc.com/vaccine, although the website as of 10 a.m. this morning still indicated that anyone under 16 was not eligible.
“Current data show that the vaccine is safe and effective in children, and it not only protects our kids, but also their families and our communities,” Arwady said.
Many of Chicago’s intentionally-divested communities lack viable access to fruits and vegetables — and there’s an ongoing debate about which entity is to blame, according to a 2018 study detailing supermarkets and food access.
In the meantime, the folks at Urban Growers Collective are teaching those communities how to grow fruits and vegetables at several farms around the city.

Urban Growers’ co-founders, Erika Allen and Laurell Sims noticed discrepancies over time, prompting them to step in and assist communities branded as “food insecure.”

The collective operates eight “urban farms” across the city in neighborhoods such as South Chicago, Bridgeport, and Riverdale’s Altgeld Gardens and Phillip Murray Homes, a housing project long known for being a symbol for environmental racism nicknamed the “toxic doughnut,” according to a Chicago Sun-Times report.
Each site operates “production-oriented” farms where Urban Growers staff members offer educational opportunities for leadership development, training and food distribution. Each farm exposes communities — adults and teens — to organic growing methods, growing practices and year-round production strategies.
Before the Sky traded Gabby Williams to the Sparks, the talented forward requested a trade back last month, GM James Wade said yesterday. Wade cited disagreements over her role on the team and her unwillingness to participate in training camp before joining the French national team for EuroBasket as reasons that the Sky decided to move on.

Yesterday, we asked you: What’s your favorite piece of architecture in Chicago? Here’s some of what you said…
“Buckingham Fountain. So beautiful. It sometimes feels like you’re in another part of the world. Like Italy or Greece. It’s just so grand. Magnificent!” — Sandra Sanchez
“Crain Communications Building, aka the Diamond building. The architecture of this building is unique to Chicago’s skyline. It’s recognizable at first glance and the windows adorn this structure with a vision of reflective strength. As a small child, back in 1983 when it was built, I remember being in awe of its shape and beauty. Seeing it makes me feel the love I have for my city.” — Leslie Kollene Warren
“The Wrigley Building on Michigan Ave., because it is fanciful and magnificent altogether. Flying buttresses on the top floors are perfect.” — Kathey Koziol
“The Water Tower. It survived the Chicago Fire, as did my great-grandparents. So it has always been my connection to Chicago, its past, and to my family history in Chicago.” — Betty Blomfield
“I love all of the details found in and on the Palmolive and Fisher buildings. The Mansueto and Harper libraries at the University of Chicago are both breathtaking as well.” — Jonathan Raymond
“The John Hancock building. It has such sleek lines, nice color and the antennas are equal lengths.” — Kelly Naughton

Colt Brennan, a star quarterback at the University of Hawaii who finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy balloting, died early May 11, 2021, his father said. He was 37. | Ronen Zilberman/AP
Brennan, who has had public struggles with alcohol, died at a hospital in California, his father, Terry Brennan, told The Associated Press.
HONOLULU — Colt Brennan, a star quarterback at the University of Hawaii who finished third in the 2007 Heisman Trophy balloting, died early Tuesday, his father said. He was 37.
Brennan, who has had public struggles with alcohol, died at a hospital in California, his father, Terry Brennan, told The Associated Press.
“He just spent one too many times on the dark side of life, and it caught up with him,” Terry Brennan said of his son.
Brennan transferred to Hawaii after stints at Colorado and Saddleback College in California. A certain pro prospect, he bypassed the NFL Draft in order to play his senior year for Hawaii coach June Jones.
Brennan led the Warriors to its finest season ever, going 12-0 in the regular season.
Georgia ended Hawaii’s hopes for an unblemished record, defeating the Warriors 41-10 in the Sugar Bowl.
He returned, in part, to pay back to a school and a coach that gave him a second chance, and he had no regrets.
“Hawaii has inspired me to do a lot of great things,” he told The Associated Press in 2007.
Brennan was drafted by Washington in the sixth round of the NFL Draft in 2008, but he never played a regular season game in two seasons.
Brennan had been living at an addiction treatment center in Costa Mesa, California. His father said he took him to a hospital emergency room on Sunday because his son had been drinking. “I could tell he was not well and needed help,” Terry Brennan said.
But the detox facility was full, so without his family realizing it, Colt Brennan was released. He was unconscious when he was taken back to the hospital, where he later died, his father said.
He was surrounded by family members when he died.
“His sisters made sure he had the Bob Marley music going by his side,” Terry Brennan said of the reggae his son was fond of from his time in Hawaii. “They had a lei around his chest.”
Patrick Kane recorded 66 points in 56 games this season despite a lingering injury. | Karl B DeBlaker/AP
“We’ve done a lot of good things to make it feel good in games, and then other games it hasn’t felt as great,” Kane said in his exit interview Tuesday. “So it’s just an ongoing process. Hopefully we can get to the point where I’m not feeling it at all.”
Patrick Kane, in terms of production, manufactured another fantastic season for the Blackhawks in 2021.
Playing in all 56 games, he recorded 66 points, which will place him in the top seven in the NHL once every team finishes.
But as the year wore on, something looked slightly off in the 32-year-old superstar. In Monday’s season finale, he took off on several potential counterattacks — with the crowd, accustomed to so much Kane magic over the years, cheering in anticipation — only to pull up and eventually turn the puck over.
And in his exit interview Tuesday, Kane confirmed he has dealt with a previously undisclosed injury since the 2020 playoffs last August. He declined to specify the exact injury.
“I’ve got one little issue that I’ve been dealing with,” Kane said. “[I’m] trying to figure that out and hopefully it’s nothing too serious. Hopefully [I’ll] just get it fixed and not have to worry about it next year.
“We’ve done a lot of good things to make it feel good in games, and then other games it hasn’t felt as great,” he added later. “So it’s just an ongoing process. Hopefully we can get to the point where I’m not feeling it at all, and [I] feel strong on the puck and feel like it’s not an issue when I’m out there. That’s the ultimate goal.”
Kane said he expects to know more about what it will take to fix the issue, and how long the recovery process will take, after additional conversations with doctors in the coming weeks. He sounded optimistic he’ll be back at 100% health for training camp come September.
In the meantime, Kane anticipates a more low-key offseason. He wants to spend more time with his son, who turns six months old Wednesday.
Kane captained Team USA in the World Championships in 2018 and 2019, the last two times the event occurred, but isn’t attending this year’s tournament, which runs May 21 to June 6 in host countries Latvia and Belarus. Brandon Hagel (Canada), Dominik Kubalik (Czech Republic) and Nikita Zadorov (Russia) are the three Hawks so far confirmed to be participating.
“The past few years I’ve really skated a lot in the summer,” Kane said. “I’ll maybe take a little bit more time off the ice [this summer], but I don’t think it should affect anything I’m doing as far as training and working out.”
The wear-and-tear buildup is somewhat inevitable due to Kane’s age and tenure in the NHL, having hit his 1,000-game milestone this season. He reflected Tuesday on the “full circle” aspect of evolving from the Hawks’ youngest player during his first few seasons to their oldest — by more than four years — in Sunday and Monday’s lineups.
Kane also lamented his lack of goal-scoring this season. He finished with 51 assists yet only 15 goals, and scored just four goals in 33 games after hitting the 400-career-goal milestone Feb. 28. The self-blame is largely unfair, considering he still led the Hawks in scoring by 10 points, but that dissatisfaction has always fueled him.
“[When] I was producing a lot and had a big start to the season, we were in a playoff position,” he said. “Obviously, that didn’t continue and we faded out of a playoff position. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Those two things go hand-in-hand. In the future, [I have to] produce more consistently and be better for the team.
“With the way our team plays now, it’s not so much puck possession as it is moving the puck ahead and tracking it down. I’ve been used to playing that puck possession game my whole career, so it’s a little different, but I have to find a way to create no matter what the situation is. [I’m] looking forward to bouncing back next year.”

Since sundown Monday, 28 Palestinians — including 10 children and a woman— were killed in Gaza, most by airstrikes, health officials there said.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — A confrontation between Israel and Hamas sparked by weeks of tensions in contested Jerusalem escalated Tuesday as Israel unleashed new airstrikes on Gaza while militants barraged Israel with hundreds of rockets. The exchange killed a number of militants and civilians in Gaza and at least three people in Israel.
The barrage of rockets from the Gaza Strip and airstrikes into the territory continued almost nonstop throughout the day, in what appeared to be some of the most intense fighting between Israel and Hamas since their 2014 war. The fire was so relentless that Israel’s Iron Dome rocket-defense system seemed to be overwhelmed. Columns of smoke rose from many places in Gaza.
By late Tuesday, the violence extended to Tel Aviv, which came under fire from a barrage of rockets launched from the Gaza Strip. A 50-year-old woman was killed. The outgoing volleys set off air raid sirens across the city, and the main international airport closed temporarily.
Hamas said it launched a total of 130 rockets, its most intense strike so far, in response to Israel’s destruction of a high-rise building in Gaza earlier in the evening. The sound of the outgoing rockets could be heard in Gaza. As the rockets rose into the skies, mosques across Gaza blared with chants of “God is great,” “victory to Islam” and “resistance.”
One rocket struck a bus in the central city of Holon, just south of Tel Aviv. Medics said three people, including a 5-year-old girl, were wounded and the bus went up in flames.
Since sundown Monday, 28 Palestinians — including 10 children and a woman— were killed in Gaza, most by airstrikes, health officials there said. The Israeli military said at least 16 of the dead were militants.
Two women were killed by rockets fired from Gaza that hit their homes in the southern city of Ashkelon — the first Israeli deaths in the current violence. At least 10 other Israelis have been wounded since Monday evening.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the fighting would continue for some time. In a nationally televised speech late Tuesday, he said Hamas and Islamic Jihad “have paid, and will pay, a heavy price.”
“This campaign will take time, with determination, unity and strength,” he said.
Even before the two Israeli deaths, the Israeli military said it was sending troop reinforcements to the Gaza border, and the defense minister ordered the mobilization of 5,000 reserve soldiers.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, a military spokesman, told reporters that the objective was to send a “clear message” to Hamas.
Diplomats sought to intervene. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demanded a halt to the “spiraling” violence, a U.N. spokesman said. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to the Israeli foreign minister to condemn the Hamas attacks and “reiterate the important message of de-escalation,” the State Department said.
The barrage of rockets and airstrikes was preceded by hours of clashes Monday between Palestinians and Israeli security forces, including dramatic confrontations at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, a sacred site to both Jews and Muslims. The current violence, like previous rounds, including the last intifada, or uprising, has been fueled by conflicting claims over Jerusalem, which is at the emotional core of the long conflict.
In a sign of widening unrest, hundreds of residents of Arab communities across Israel staged overnight demonstrations denouncing the recent actions of Israeli security forces against Palestinians. It was one of the largest protests by Palestinian citizens in Israel in recent years.
In the central Israeli town of Lod, police fired tear gas and stun grenades after mourners threw rocks at officers during the funeral of an Arab man allegedly shot to death by a Jewish resident the night before. Thousands took part in the funeral, and police said the crowd set fire to a patrol car, a bus and a motorcycle. Two police officers were injured.
Israel and Hamas have fought three wars and numerous skirmishes since the militant group seized control of Gaza in 2007. Recent rounds of fighting have usually ended after a few days, often helped by mediation by Qatar, Egypt and others.
Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes, including two that targeted high-rise apartment buildings where militants were believed to be hiding.
One strike demolished a 12-story building in Gaza City that housed the offices of top Hamas officials. Israeli drones fired a series of warning shots at the roof to give people time to leave the building before it was destroyed. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
At midday, an airstrike hit a building in central Gaza City, sending terrified residents running into the street, including women and barefoot children. The Islamic Jihad militant group confirmed that the strike killed three of its commanders.
Another strike hit a high-rise as people were conducting dawn prayers, killing a woman, her 19-year-old disabled son and another man, residents said. Health officials confirmed the deaths.
The Gaza Health Ministry said 28 people, including 10 children and the woman, have been killed and 152 wounded. Ashraf al-Kidra, a spokesman for the ministry, said Israel’s “relentless assault” was overwhelming the health care system, which has been struggling with a COVID-19 outbreak.
The escalation comes at a time of political limbo in Israel.
Netanyahu has been caretaker prime minister since an inconclusive parliamentary election in March. He failed to form a coalition government with his hard-line and ultra-Orthodox allies, and the task was handed to his political rivals last week.
One of those rivals is Israel’s defense minister, who is overseeing the Gaza campaign. It was not clear whether the political atmosphere was spilling over into military decision-making, though the rival camps have unanimously expressed support for striking Hamas hard.
The support of an Arab-backed party with Islamist roots is key for the anti-Netanyahu bloc. But the current tensions might deter the party’s leader, Mansour Abbas, from joining a coalition for now. The sides have three more weeks to reach a deal.
The current violence in Jerusalem coincided with the start of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in mid-April.
Critics say heavy-handed police measures helped stoke nightly unrest, including a decision to temporarily seal off a popular gathering spot where Palestinian residents would meet after evening prayers. Another flashpoint was the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where dozens of Palestinians are under threat of eviction by Jewish settlers.
Over the weekend, confrontations erupted at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which is the third holiest site of Islam and the holiest site in Judaism.
Over several days, Israel police fired tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets at Palestinians in the compound who hurled stones and chairs. At times, police fired stun grenades into the carpeted mosque.
On Monday evening, Hamas began firing rockets from Gaza. From there on, the escalation was rapid.
Gaza militants fired more than 500 rockets at Israel, with about one-third falling short and landing in Gaza, Conricus said.
At midday, a barrage of some 10 rockets whizzed above the southern city of Ashdod, filling the skies with streaks of white smoke.
A rocket that hit an apartment building in Ashkelon injured six people, according to Israeli paramedic service Magen David Adom. A building in Ashdod was also hit, lightly wounding four, Israeli police said.
The military hit 130 targets in Gaza, including two tunnels militants were digging under the border with Israel, Conricus said. He did not address Gaza Health Ministry reports about the dead children.
Seven of the deaths in Gaza were members of a single family, including three children, who died in an explosion in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. It was not clear if the blast was caused by an Israeli airstrike or errant rocket.

Medina Spirit and two other horses trained by Bob Baffert will be under extra scrutiny in the days leading up to the second jewel of the Triple Crown.
BALTIMORE — Preakness officials said Tuesday they are allowing Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit to enter Saturday’s race subject to additional testing and monitoring.
Medina Spirit and two other horses trained by Bob Baffert will be under extra scrutiny in the days leading up to the second jewel of the Triple Crown. The Maryland Racing Commission and Baffert have agreed to the conditions for Medina Spirit, fellow Preakness runner Concert Tour and Beautiful Gift, who is expected to run in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes on Friday.
Medina Spirit drew the No. 3 post in a field of 10 horses as the 9-5 morning-line favorite. Concert Tour drew the outside 10th post and is the second choice in the wagering at 5-2.
Maryland Racing’s chief veterinary officer, Dr. Dionne Benson, said at the draw that tests on the three Baffert horses are expected back Friday. This is an additional layer of blood testing added to the usual postrace tests.

The prosecutor also filed notice that she’ll also seek hate crime charges against 22-year-old Robert Aaron Long.
ATLANTA — A man accused of killing eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, in shootings at three Atlanta-area massage businesses was indicted Tuesday on murder charges, and a prosecutor filed notice that she’ll also seek hate crime charges and the death penalty.
A Fulton County grand jury indicted Robert Aaron Long, 22, in the March 16 slayings of Suncha Kim, 69; Soon Chung Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; and Yong Ae Yue, 63. The indictment only covers those four killings that happened at two spas in Atlanta, and not the attack in Cherokee County in which Xiaojie “Emily” Tan, 49; Daoyou Feng, 44; Delaina Yaun, 33; and Paul Michels, 54, were killed.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis also filed notice that she intends to seek hate crime charges and the death penalty against Long, who is white. The hate crime charges are based on the actual or perceived race, national origin, sex and gender of the four women killed, the notice says.
Georgia’s new hate crimes law does not provide for a stand-alone hate crime. After a person is convicted of an underlying crime, a jury must determine whether it’s a hate crime, which carries an additional penalty.
The indictment charges Long with four counts of murder, four counts of felony murder, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and one count of domestic terrorism, according to online records.
The domestic terrorism charge says Long committed a series of illegal acts “which were interrelated by distinguishing characteristics, with the intent to cause serious bodily harm and to kill individuals and groups of individuals, and with the intent to intimidate the civilian population of this state and of its political subdivisions.”
Four of the aggravated assault charges have to do with the shootings of the four victims who died. For the fifth, the indictment says Long pointed a gun at another woman, causing her “reasonable apprehension of immediately receiving a violent injury.” The notice of intent to seek hate crimes charges says she was targeted based on her actual or perceived sex and gender.
Long was arrested the night of the shootings on murder charges and is being held without bond after waiving an initial court appearance in March in Cherokee County Magistrate Court. A Cherokee County grand jury was scheduled to meet Monday and Tuesday this week, but it was not immediately clear whether prosecutors presented potential charges to the grand jury for the shooting at a spa near suburban Woodstock in which four were killed and one person was wounded.
Willis’ decision to seek the death penalty is a departure from her stance during her campaign to be district attorney last year.
During a candidate forum last year, Willis answered yes when asked: “Will you commit to refuse to seek the death penalty?”
The killings are eligible for the death penalty because each was committed while Long was in the act of committing another capital offense, namely the killings of the victims, the notice of intent says. Each killing was also “outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible, or inhuman in that it involved depravity of mind” and was committed during an act of domestic terrorism, the notice says.
Police have said Long shot and killed four people, three of them women and two of Asian descent, at Youngs Asian Massage near Woodstock just before 5 p.m. on March 16. He also shot and wounded a fifth person, investigators said.
He then drove about 30 miles south to Atlanta, where he shot and killed three women at Gold Spa before going across the the street to Aromatherapy Spa and fatally shooting another woman, police have said. All of the Atlanta victims were women of Asian descent.
After the shootings at the two Atlanta spas, Long got back into his car and headed south on the interstate, police said.
Long’s parents called authorities to help after recognizing their son in still images from security video that the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office posted on social media. They provided cellphone information that allowed authorities to track their son to rural Crisp County, about 140 miles south of Atlanta.
State troopers and sheriff’s deputies spotted his SUV on Interstate 75, and one of them forced Long to spin to a stop by bumping his vehicle. Long then surrendered to authorities.
In an initial interview with investigators, Long claimed to have a “sex addiction,” and authorities said he apparently lashed out at businesses he viewed as a temptation. But those statements spurred outrage and widespread skepticism given the locations and that six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent.
