Pritzker
warns

violators
‘You’re putting everyone
around you in danger’
By Angie Leventis Lourgos and
Katherine Rosenberg-Douglas
A viral video purporting to show a

crowded house party in Chicago over the
weekend prompted Gov. J.B. Pritzker to
admonish the young partiers who ap-
pear to be standing shoulder to shoulder
and flouting social distancing orders
amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I have not seen the video though I did
hear about it,” he said Sunday during his
daily coronavirus briefing. “First, I want
to remind everyone that by doing that, by
standing together, not social distancing,
many people not wearing masks, you’re
literally putting everyone around you in
danger. They are putting you in danger
and, very importantly, all of those people
are putting their families and their
friends who are not there with them in
danger.”
While the Tribune could not verify
the authenticity of the video or the
location of the large party, other media
outlets reported that the footage was
taken in Chicago. Some of the youths in
the video were wearing Chicago sports
paraphernalia; a few attendees appeared
to be wearing masks, though none
maintained the prescribed safe distance
of 6 feet.
“The whole purpose of social distanc-
ing, of wearing masks, of staying at home
in fact, is we don’t want to spread this to
our loved ones or to others in the
community,” Pritzker said. “So I would

which goes one better — or worse.
After telling governors early in the coronavirus
crisis that they were on their own when it comes to
securing protective equipment for first responders
who are tending to coronavirus patients, the
Trump administration not only has been consistent
in its shabby treatment — Florida was an exception
early on — it has then actively prevented masks,
ventilators and other desperately needed equip-
ment from getting to the states and the people who
need them most.
According to WLRN, 1 million coveted N95 face
masks, the gold standard in protecting people who
come in contact with the infected and that were
destined for Miami-Dade County, were “taken” by
the federal government. Frank Rollason, Miami-
Dade County’s head of emergency management,
had another word for it, “hijacked” — “because
that’s what happened” …
It’s an outrage, given that many states have had
to jump through hoops to finagle masks and other
vital equipment by almost any means possible.
Outrageous, but, unfortunately, not uncommon.
States across the country have been in the oddest
competition with the federal government, which
has confiscated masks from Massachusetts, testing
supplies from states in the Northwest and ther-
mometers from, again, Florida. And states have
gotten no clear answers about how, or even if, the
federal government is redistributing the materials,
stockpiling them or selling them at inflated prices.

Recently there was a story in which a

Then a doctor wrote a letter to say that

that patients should head there “if you

Confusion swirls about

government help
The financial fallout from COVID-19
continues, and given the myriad govern-
ment programs and announcements, it is
understandable if you feel confused. Here
are some common questions and answers.
The IRS moved the tax deadline to July 15,

but what about quarterly estimates?
On April 9, the IRS announced more
deadline updates. In addition to the April
15 filing and estimated tax payment being
extended to July, the agency also moved Q2
estimates, which would have been due on
June 15, to July 15. “This means that any
individual or corporation that has a quar-
terly estimated tax payment due on or after
April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, can
wait until July 15 to make that payment,
without penalty.”
Additionally, individuals, trusts, estates,
corporations and other non-corporate tax
filers qualify for the extra time. If you can’t
make the July deadline, you will need to
file an extension (form 4868) to October 15.
Remember: An extension to file is not an
extension to pay any taxes owed, so you
need to estimate your tax liability and pay
any taxes owed by the July 15 deadline to
avoid additional interest and penalties.

How to respect your team’s time

Communicate clearly,
don’t expect people
to be available at all hours
By Hillel Fuld | Inc.
These are challenging times, and that

certainly is true across the board — person-

When it comes to working remotely,
which is how a vast majority of us are
working now, of course, there are some
guidelines leaders can follow in order to
achieve productivity while also giving your
team members the personal time and space
that they need.
Define working hours

and stick to them
When you are all in an office, it is quite
obvious when everyone is working because
you see them there. When you are working
remotely, the norms are blurred, the rules
often are unclear and expectations some-
times are ambiguous.
As a manager, it is your job to remove
that lack of clarity. Communicate clearly
with your team what working hours are
and stick to them, no matter what. That
includes you.

Peterson, Alan Elm

The world lost a great titan and teacher when Alan
Elm Peterson passed away
peacefully on April 20th,
2020 at the age of 90. His
generosity was profound and
his leadership esteemed.
Alan Peterson was born of
the Great Depression. He
arrived on Friday the 13th of
September 1929. Maybe it’s
fitting he passed away amidst
a global pandemic. Those formidable challenges
built a man of resilience, integrity and compassion.
A natural entrepreneur, Alan rose to partner at
Arthur Andersen in 1966 and served until 1980,
when he established Peterson Consulting. In
1994, he founded Tucker Alan. He was a pioneer
in the world of government contract consulting
and founded the litigation consulting practice at
Andersen in the early 1960’s. His accomplishments
included testifying before Congress and contribut-
ing to GAO reports. A “Computer World” article
from 1979 quotes his insight, even though he never
learned how to operate one.
Transforming business came naturally. When his
high school yearbook lost funding, Alan Peterson
arranged to keep the tradition alive. He was a sharp
negotiator, a skilled wordsmith, and an intellectual
powerhouse.
Being a lifelong student fed his yearning for knowl-
edge. From his early childhood in Orion, Illinois, to
his studies at Northwestern University, Master’s GENERAL LEGAL

JULIO AGUILAR/GETTY
Saints nearing deal

with QB Winston
The Saints and quarterback Jameis
Winston are working on a contract pro-
posal to make the former Buccaneers
starter a backup to Drew Brees in New
Orleans, according to reports Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Saints have announced
that dynamic reserve QB and utility play-
er Taysom Hill has a new two-year con-
tract. ESPN reported that the new deal is
for a total of $21 million, including $16
million guaranteed.
Winston is coming off a season in
which he led the NFL with 5,109 yards
passing and ranked second with 33
touchdown passes, but he also led the
NFL in interceptions with 30. That made
Winston the first QB in NFL history to
have at least 30 TDs and 30 interceptions.
The Bucs allowed Winston, whom it
drafted first overall out of Florida State in
2015, to enter free agency and replaced

CUBS
Grace still
waiting for
next at-bat
Former Cubs great is on deck
with Marquee Sports Network
By Mark Gonzales
Mark Grace remembers his final at-bat of
the strike-shortened 1994 season.
“I struck out against Rod Beck,” Grace
said last week.
That moment capped a 5-2 loss to the
Giants and preceded a 232-day players
strike. Grace hopes he doesn’t have to wait
that long to resume his duties with the new
Marquee Sports Network and the Cubs
organization he parted ways with after the
2000 season.
“This job came out of nowhere,” Grace
said. “All of a sudden it became a dream job.”
Grace, 55, remains extremely popular
with fans and media members who covered
him during his 13 seasons with the Cubs, a
run that included four Gold Glove awards
and three National League All-Star selec-
tions.
And Grace warmed quickly to his
assignments, which included a hands-on
demonstration with Anthony Rizzo on the
art of playing first base and a three-inning
stint as a guest analyst with play-by-play
announcer Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies
during a Cactus League game.
Grace said he was scheduled to serve as
analyst for a Cubs-Dodgers game at Sloan
Park on March 12 — the same day Major
League Baseball suspended spring training
amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Who knows what’s going to happen?”
Grace said.
But he looks forward to a return to
Wrigley Field with an organization that he
left on chilly terms before signing with the
Diamondbacks, with whom he won a
World Series ring in his first season in 2001.
Grace has served as a pre- and postgame
analyst for selected Diamondbacks games
since 2017, but he works as an independent
contractor. That arrangement allows him

with the Cubs.
THE LOST DANCE

“I think when I go to Chicago, it will sink
in,” Grace said.
Grace’s segment with Rizzo whetted his
appetite for performing more assignments
with the network.
“First, I’m a big (Rizzo) fan,” Grace said.

Since the sports world went mainly dark
IN BRIEF
Newman:
I’ll be ready
for return
News services
Ryan Newman said he will be ready to

race when NASCAR resumes competi-
tion, which could be as early as May 17.
Newman suffered a head injury in the
season-opening race at Daytona Inter-
national Speedway. The Indiana native
spent less than 48 hours in the hospital
before walking out holding hands with
his two daughters.
Ross Chastain drove the No. 6 Ford in
place of Newman for three races before
the NASCAR season was suspended
March 13 because of the coronavirus
pandemic.
Speaking before NASCAR’s iRacing
event Sunday, Newman said on Fox
Sports that he will be ready to race when
NASCAR calls drivers back to the track.
“That’s the absolute plan for sure. I
am healthy,” Newman said. “I have been
blessed with another layer of this
(coronavirus) situation giving me more
time to heal and I look forward to being
back in the seat, for sure.”
Newman was in a spectacular crash
while racing for the lead on the final lap
of the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17. His
airborne car was hit by another car, his
Ford rolled several times and came to a
stop on his roof. It took several minutes
to get him out of the car and transferred
to a Florida hospital, where his condition
was considered serious but not life-
threatening.
NASCAR said in a statement that
Newman hasn’t yet been cleared by the
series to return.
“We share Ryan’s enthusiasm in his
return to the track,” the statement said.
“We look forward to Ryan returning to
racing as soon as he is medically cleared
TOM PENNINGTON/GETTY
to race.”
The defending NFC champion 49ers addressed key positions in the draft and traded for seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams. Newman used his brief appearance on
Fox Sports to give thanks again for the
NFL DRAFT WINNERS AND LOSERS outpouring of support he has received
during his recovery.
Gold standard: 49ers

“I am so excited and thankful all at the
same time to be healthy and at some
point get back in a race car when the
world starts turning again,” Newman
said. “And thankful for all the people and
support that I’ve got from family, fans,
fill needs, get richer

you name it that have prayed for me, you
name it, you have given me this multi-
tude of miracles.”

A GOOD TIME TO LOOK BACK
We’re all missing sports these days. So with the games on hold, we’re offering a daily dose of memorable moments as chronicled through sports history:
Good day for a no-no (APRIL 27, 2003)

This published when Kevin Millwood
pitched his first career no-hitter to lead the
Phillies over the Giants 1-0, on April 27,
2003. It occurred on the same day two
other no-hitters were recorded. Derek Lowe
pitched a no-hitter against the Rays in
2002 with a 10-0 win for the Red Sox and
in 1994 Scott Erickson, who allowed the
most hits in the majors the previous season,
pitched the Twins’ first no-hitter in 27 years
as the Twins beat the Brewers 6-0.

Here are the answers to the weekly quiz:
Q.1—Both vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ J95 ♥ K92 ♦ AKJ32 ♣ A9 Dick Tracy By Joe Staton and Mike Curtis
Partner opens 1H and right-hand opponent passes. What call
would you make?
A.1—No immediate heart raise would do this hand justice.
Start with 2D and support hearts next.
Q.2—Neither vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A 10 6 4 ♥ A 6 ♦ A 8 5 ♣ A J 10 3
As dealer, what call would you make?
A.2—It is easy to make an argument that four aces and two
tens, all undervalued in the 4-3-2-1 point count, make this hand
worth 18 or 19 points, but we expect most will open 1NT.
Q.3—East-West vulnerable, as South, you hold:
♠ A Q 9 3 ♥ Q J 7 6 ♦ 10 8 4 ♣ 8 6
North East South West
Animal Crackers By Mike Osbun

♠ A 7 6 2 ♥ Q J 10 4 ♦ 6 4 2 ♣ Q 9
West North East South
1♦ 2♣ Dbl* ?

What call would you make?
A.4—The redouble of a negative double shows a useful hand
that can’t raise. Redouble. Perfect!
