I'M PASTER PAIRS HERE IN OUR NORTHWEST SIDE STUDIO.

>> I'M NOT FOND YOUR OF TIE.

>> WELL, GOOD.

>> AND AS THE SPLENDID PHIL PONCE GETS READY TO SWITCH TO SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS AT THE END OF THE MONTH WE RELIVE MORE PHIL PONCE MOMENTS.

>> AND PARIS, I BACK IN WOODRIDGE AND AS PART OF OUR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES".

YOU KNOW THIS COMMUNITY WAS HARD HIT BY SUNDAY NIGHT'S TORNADO BUT IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING THE COMMUNITY OF NEIGHBORS AND RESIDENTS THEY HAVE BEEN COMING TOGETHER DISTRIBUTING MEALS AND SOME PICKING UP MEALS FROM THE WEST SUBURBAN COMMUNITY PANTRY.

WE'LL HAVE MORE FROM THE ORGANIZERS HERE AT THE PANTRY AND THE MAYOR AND SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS HOW THEY ARE RECOVERING.

FOR NOW, BACK TO YOU.

>> WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT AND TO FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES..., COOK COUNTY OFFICIALS TOUT ' IMPROVING FISCAL OUTLOOK FOR THE COUNTY AS COVID SUBSIDES.

TONI PRECKWINKLE UNVEILED THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET FORECAST FOR 2022 TODAY IT PROJECTS A SHORTFALL OF $121 MILLION.

A FIGURE THAT IS 70% SMALLER THAN A YEAR AGO WHEN THE PANDEMIC RAGED.

THE COUNTY FINDS ITSELF INTO A BETTER POSITION THANKS TO A BILLION IN COVID FEDERAL RELIEF FUNDS AND AN IMPROVING ECONOMY.

COOK COUNTY PROJECTED TO END WITH A $60 MILLION BUDGET SURPLUS.

>> AND PRECKWINKLE IS ANNOUNCING SHE SA POINTING THE CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER TO A SECOND FIVE-YEAR TERM.

THE DOCTOR WAS APPOINTED IN 2016.

PRECKWINKLE PRAISED HIS HANDLING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND A SPIKE IN OVERDOSES IN A STATEMENT.

THE APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.

>> THE UNITED CENTER MASS VACCINATION SITE IS SHUTTING DOWN THANKS TO IMPROVED COVID NUMBERS AND DROP-OFF IN DEMAND.

>> MORE THAN 20% OF THE CITY'S COVID-19 VACCINE DOSES CAME FROM CITY-RUN SITES LIKE THE UNITED CENTER AND MORE LOCAL OPERATION WILL TAKE PLACE AT MALCOM X COLLEGE.

A CITY RUN SITE AT CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY IS OPEN FOR WALK IN APPOINTMENTS UNTIL SATURDAY JULY 3.

>> DAYS AFTER A MAJOR TORNADO RIPPED THROUGH WEST SUBURBAN DUPAGE COUNTY MORE STORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING.

THE VILLAGE OF WOODRIDGE WAS HIT HARD BY THE EF3 TORNADO THAT SENT RESIDENTS INTO THEIR BASEMENTS SUNDAY NIGHT.

THE COMMUNITY IS OUT PICKING UP THE PIECES.

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN SPENT THE DAY REPORTING IN WOODRIDGE AS PART OF OUR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES".

WHAT KIND OF WEATHER ARE WE EXPECTING TONIGHT?

>> WELL, I'M TOLD NOTHING SEVERE NOTHING AS SEVERE AS SUNDAY NIGHT BUT THE WEATHER SERVICE IS PREDICTING STORMS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

IT DID RAIN FOR A GOOD BIT OF THE DAY TODAY.

NOT SO MUCH AT THE MOMENT AND WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THE IMPACT OF THAT RAIN AS WELL AS THE IMPACT OF THAT RAIN ON THE DROUGHT LATER ON.

BUT IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG ROAD FOR SOME MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY.

OBVIOUSLY PLENTY OF DOWNED TREES HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE STORM'S TRACK BY FOLLOWING A SERIES OF TREE TRUNKS WITHOUT BRANCHES THEY WERE TORN OFF OR CUT DOWN FOR SAFETY.

THE HOUSING DAMAGE IS SUBSTANTIAL AS WELL.

160 HOMES RECEIVING MAJOR DAMAGE AND 30 HOMES A TOTAL LOSS.

WE SPOKE WITH ONE NEIGHBOR WHO VOLUNTEERS AT HER CHURCH ST. SCHOLASTICA WHAT THAT DAMAGE WAS LIKE.

>> THE NEXT MORNING I GOT UP EARLY AND I WANTED TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE, NOTHING.

BUT I HAD ALL THIS DRY WALL IN MY FRONT YARD.

WHERE IS THE DRY WALL COMING FROM?

SO I WALKOUT, A BLOCK-AND-A-HALF AND THEN... YEAH.

>> A NEIGHBOR'S HOME?

>> IT WAS A LOT OF NEIGHBORS' HOMES.

IT WAS EVERYBODY IT WAS DEVASTATING.

>> NOW, JENNIFER ANTELIZ IS A SELF DESCRIBED TAKE CHARGE PERSON AND SHE TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO ORGANIZE THE FOOD DONATIONS IN THE ST. SCHOLASTICA SCHOOL GYM MAKING MEALS FOR ANYONE AND VOLUNTEERS, NEIGHBORS, USING FOOD DONATED BY THE FOOD PANTRY AND BEEN WORKING TO GET THE WORD OUT THAT IT'S AVAILABLE.

AND THE CHURCH HAS HAD VOLUNTEERS SINCE IT RECEIVED DAMAGE THE RECTORY WAS TOTALED.

THE CHURCH'S DIRECTOR POINTS OUT A LESSON FROM ONE OF THE RELIGIOUS TEACHERS THAT THE PHYSICAL -- EMOTIONAL RECOVERRY MAY TAKE LONGER THAN THE PHYSICAL.

>> WE ARE OK. PHYSICALLY WE ARE OK.

THE EMOTIONAL PART WILL COME AS THE PHYSICAL BUILDINGS AND THINGS HAVE TO RECOVER.

BUT FOR RIGHT NOW I AM OK. AND THAT'S ONE THING WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE'S GOING TO BE RESIDUAL AND THAT IS WHY I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE OUR CHURCH DOORS ARE OPEN FOR MASS.

THAT IS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN START HEALING.

>> AND ONE THEME THAT I'VE NOTICED EMERGE FROM MY CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS IN THE COMMUNITY HERE, IS JUST HOW MUCH THEY HAVE SHOWN UP FOR ONE ANOTHER.

THIS INCLUDES 35 AMERICAN RED CROSS VOLUNTEERS CALLED UP SOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT.

THE GROUP CREATED A MAKESHIFT OVERNIGHT SHELTER HERE AT THE LOCAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL WHERE ONE RESIDENT HAS NEEDED TO STAY CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY WITH THE VOLUNTEERS.

THE FACT THAT SO FEW WERE IN NEED OF SHELTER SHOWS MANY PEOPLE WERE STAYING WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY.

VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN DELIVERING HUNDREDS OF MEALS AND FOOD, WATER AND WI-FI AT THE SCHOOL.

COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR HOLLY BAKER POINTS OUT THAT THOUGH SOME OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAVE SEEN SO MANY DISASTERS EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT.

>> EACH DISASTER IS UNIQUE IN ITS OWN WAY AND IS DIFFERENT.

SO NO MATTER HOW MANY TORNADOES, HURRICANES, FLOODS YOU'VE SEEN EVERYONE IS BIG, IS DIFFERENT AND BIG TO THE PEOPLE GOING THROUGH IT.

>> NOW, OF COURSE, THE LAST THING THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS IS MORE SEVERE WEATHER.

WE SPOKE WITH COLLEGE OF DUPAGE METEOROLOGIST ROLL GIFT PAUL SIRVATKA AND NOT PREDICTING SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT BUT THERE IS THE LIKELIHOOD FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING AND THUNDERSTORMS.

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT FLOOD POTENTIAL WITH THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS WITH MODELS COMING IN WITH FIVE-SEVEN INCHES OF RAIN.

>> THAT SHOULD END THE DROUGHT.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME BUT THE DEFICIT OF PRECIPITATION IT WILL ERASE THAT.

>> PAUL SIRVATKA HAS BEEN STUDYING THE SMALLER TORNADOES IN THE CHICAGO ONE THE ONES THAT RATE AN EFO THE WEAKER ONES BUT HE SAYS THE CONDITIONS SUNDAY NIGHT WERE RIGHT TO CREATE THE ONE LEAVING THE DAMAGE WE'VE SEEN.

>> THIS EVENT HAD A VERY STRONG CIRCULATION.

THE RADAR SIGNATURE INDICATED A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO AND SO WHEN WE SEE THE EF2 AND EF3 DAMAGE WHICH IS ABUNDANT, IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME.

IT WAS TRAGIC THAT IT OCCURRED AT SUCH AN AWFUL TIME IN THE EVENING HOURS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD GONE TO BED SO THEY WERE NOT PREPARED FOR IT.

>> PAUL SIRVATKA SAYS THAT HE HAS HEARD FROM RESIDENTS THAT THEY DID NOT HEAR THE TORNADO SIRENS.

HE PUTS OUT THOSE SIRENS ARE OUTDOOR WARNINGS SO PEOPLE OUTSIDE THEY KNOW TO TAKE COVER OR TO GET INSIDE.

HE POINTS OUT THEY ARE NOT AS AUDIBLE IF YOU ARE INSIDE DURING THE STORM WHEN THE STORM IS CREATING SO MUCH NOISE VERSUS ON A TUESDAY WHEN THINGS ARE CLEAR AND THEY ARE BEING TESTED.

HE ADVISES RESIDENTS YOU HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO RECEIVE ALERTS THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM ON OUR PHONES.

BUT HE SAYS WEATHER RADIO IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.

PARIS WE WILL HAVE MORE LATER ON.

WE WILL BE HEARING FROM THE MAYOR OF THE VILLAGE OF WOODRIDGE.

FOR NOW, BACK TO YOU.

>> THANKS, BRANDIS.

>> ILLINOIS' ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE PACE OF REFORM AT THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT SOMETIMES DRAWING THE IRE OF MAYOR LIGHTFOOT.

A REPORT HIGHLIGHTED A BLOWN DEADLINES AS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT STRUGGLES TO KEEP UP WITH THE CONSENT DECREE BEING ENFORCED BY KWAME RAOUL'S OFFICE AND UPROAR OVER A WRONGFUL RAID ON ANJANETTE YOUNG'S HOME ADDED TO THAT FRUSTRATION.

AND JOINING US TO SHARE HIS PERSPECTIVE ON POLICING AND ISSUES IS ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL KWAME RAOUL.

WELCOME BACK TO "CHICAGO TONIGHT."

FIRST, WITH THAT BOTCHED RAID OF ANJANETTE YOUNG, THE MAYOR PUT OUT REVISED SEARCH WARRANT POLICIES.

PUTS PROTECTIONS IN PLACE BUT DOES NOT ELIMINATE NO KNOCK WARRANTS.

YOU CALL THIS INSUFFICIENT.

HOW SO?

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL WITH ALL POLICIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT.

THE PROCESS IS IMPORTANT AS WELL AS SUBSTANCE.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT AND ENGAGEMENT WITH OUR OFFICE IN FORMULATING POLICY BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONSENT DECREE.

SO WHILE THE CITY TAKES THE POSTURE THAT THE CONSENT DECREE DOESN'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC WORDS SEARCH WARRANT IN IT, IT DOES SPEAK TO ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC, ENGAGING WITH CHILDREN AND SO FORTH AND THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED WITH ANJANETTE YOUNG AND MANY SEARCH WARRANTS.

ONE OF THE CRITICAL THINGS THAT IS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE SITUATION WITH ANJANETTE YOUNG IS I THINK SHE INDICATED SOME 43 TIMES THAT THE OFFICERS WERE IN THE WRONG PLACE.

THERE NEEDS TO BE PLACE IN POLICY AS TO WHAT YOU DO WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE.

SOMETHING TO EXPEDITE TERMINATING PRESENCE IN SOMEBODY'S HOME THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THERE NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE POLICY WHAT YOU DO TO DEAL WITH INTERACTIONS WITH CHILDREN.

THAT NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN POLICY GOING FORWARD.

>> WRONGFUL RAIDS HAVE IMPACTED CHILDREN THEY HAVE BEEN IN HOMES WITH CHILDREN WITNESSING THEM.

>> YEAH.

AND THEN YOU HIGHLIGHTED IN YOUR INTRODUCTION THE ISSUE OF NO KNOCK WARRANTS WHICH WE SEEN THE IMPACT OF THAT.

I THINK WE CAN BAN NO NORTH CAROLINA WARRANTS.

IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO FALL INTO THIS IF YOU PUT IN PLACE SUCH POLICY YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PURSUE CRIMINALS WHO ARE IN HOMES.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

YOU CAN BAN NO KNOCK WARRANTS YET STILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO ACTIVE POLICING.

>> AND THE NEW POLICY DOSE NOT BAN NO KNOCK WARRANTS.

ARE YOU SAYING THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS NOT SOUGHT INPUT YOUR OFFICE IN FORMULATING SOME OF THESE POLICIES?

>> FOR SOME OF THE POLICIES WE'VE SEEN PROGRESS WHERE WE WERE.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE APPROACH THAT WHILE WE MAY BE ADVERSARIES IN A CASE THAT LED TO THE CONSENT DECREE, OUR INTENT IS TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY TOWARDS CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING, TOWARDS SAFETY FOR OFFICERS AND SAFETY FOR THE PUBLIC AT LARGE WE DON'T SEEK TO BE ADVERSARIES.

>> AND YOUR OFFICE IS THE ONE ENFORCING THAT CONSENT DECREE AND THERE'S THE INDEPENDENT MONITOR MAGGIE HICKEY WHO CAME OUT WITH A REPORT SAYING THE DEPARTMENT FAILED TO MEET ABOUT 40% OF THE DEADLINES AND COMPLYING WITH THAT CONSENT DECREE.

HAS IT GOTTEN BETTER?

>> YES, THERE HAS BEEN PROGRESS.

WE STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO.

ONE OF THE THINGS THE RECOGNITION OF THE CHALLENGE THAT THE MAYOR HAS TAKEN ON.

SHE INHERITED A PROBLEM AND THE FIRST YEAR SHE HAD THREE SUPERINTENDENTS AND A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP AT THE TOP OF THE DEPARTMENT.

AND THAT'S GOING TO CAUSE A LAG.

AND WE'VE HAD A PANDEMIC THROWN IN THE MIX AS WELL.

SO I APPRECIATE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OBSTACLES TO IMPLEMENTATION.

THAT ASIDE, I THINK WE CAN CONTINUE TO IMPROVE ON THE PROCESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOT LOOK AT THIS AS A BOX CHECKING PROCESS.

IT NEEDS TO BE A FULSOME INVESTMENT IN WORKING OUR WAY TOWARDS CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING THAT CAN RESTORE THE PUBLIC'S TRUST AND CREATE GREATER COOPERATION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND LAW ENFORCEMENT TO FIGHT CRIME IN CHICAGO.

>> AND THE POLICE SUPERINTENDENT PUT OUT NEW POLICIES ON FOOT PURSUITS IN THE WAKE OF THE SHOOTING GETS OF TOLEDO AND ALVAREZ DO THOSE POLICIES GO FAR ENOUGH?

THEY LIMIT IT BUT THEY DO NOT BAN THEM.

>> AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS WAS RECOMMENDED BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WHEN SHE ISSUED HER REPORT ON THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMBRACED PRIOR TO MAYOR LIGHTFOOT COMING INTO PLACE AND SUPERINTENDENT BROWN.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMBRACED AT THE OUTSET OF OUR CONSENT DECREE THAT WAS RESISTANCE TO, INCLUDING THE POLICY AS PART OF THE CONSENT DECREE.

YET WE WERE ABLE TO GET LANGUAGE THAT GAVE THE MONITOR THE AUTHORITY TO MANDATE A POLICY WHICH SHE DID IN MARCH AFTER EVALUATING DATA.

AND THE CITY TOOK IT UPON THEIR OWN AFTER TWO INCIDENTS THE ADAM TOLEDO AND ANTHONY ALVAREZ INCIDENT TO QUICKLY DRAFT A POLICY.

WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE INPUT AS WELL AS THE MONITOR TO HAVE INPUT ON THAT POLICY AFTER THE FIRST DRAFT.

AND AS A RESULT OF THAT INPUT, I THINK IT'S IMPROVED.

WE STILL NEEDS WORK AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WE CAN IMPROVE IT.

>> AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME LEFT.

PART OF YOUR OFFICE IS CONSUMER PROTECTION, MONITORING UTILITY RATES AND LOOKING OUT FOR CONSUMERS.

LAWMAKERS HAVE DEBATED THIS ENERGY BILL THAT IN PART GIVES HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS IN SUBSIDIES TO EXELON TO PROP UP NUCLEAR PLANTS.

IS THIS BILL FAIR TO RATEPAYERS?

>> YOU KNOW, THE ULTIMATE QUESTION IS DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY FINALLY END.

OUR INPUT HAS BEEN TO TRY TO PROTECT THE IMPACT ON RAY PAYERS.

THERE IS A BALANCING ACT.

THERE ARE A LOT OF JOBS AT RISK WITH THIS.

AND WE ARE IN A TRANSITION NOT ONLY IN ILLINOIS BUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY ON HOW AND WHAT WE RELY ON FOR ENERGY.

AND SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT PROCESS.

PART OF THIS, THERE IS A REPAYMENT OF TAX MONEY TO THE RATEPAYERS THAT SHOULD BE ACCELERATED AND SHOULD BE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENT OF THIS DEAL.

THIS LEGISLATION.

AND THAT'S BEEN OUR POSTURE FOR A LONGTIME.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THE RATEPAYERS SO THAT THERE IS LESS BURDEN ON THE RATEPAYERS.

>> ALL RIGHT THANKS TO ATTORNEY GENERAL KWAME RAOUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME, PARIS.

>> AND UP NEXT, A BRONZEVILLE CHURCH THAT BECAME A LANDMARK FOR BLACK CATHOLICS PREPARES FOR ITS FINAL MASS.

SO PLEASE STAY WITH US.

>> NEXT MONTH THE LATEST WAVE OF CHICAGO AREA CATHOLIC CHURCH CONSOLIDATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE AND MERGE PARISHES AS PART OF THE RENEW MY CHURCH INITIATIVE.

AMONG THEM WILL BE FIVE CHURCHES IN AND AROUND BRONZEVILLE THEY ARE CORPUS CHRISTI, ST. ANSELM, ST. AMBROSE, ST. ELIZABETH AND HOLY ANGELS.

AS QUINN MYERS REPORTS THAT IS PROMPTING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FATE OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE FUTURE OF BLACK CATHOLICISM IN THE CITY.

>> CORPUS CHRISTI CATHOLIC CHURCH LOOMS OVER KING DRIVE IN BRONZEVILLE WHERE IT HAS STOOD AT 49TH STREET SINCE 1914.

FOR KATIE WILLIAMS HALL THE CHURCH HAS BEEN A FIXTURE HER FAMILY FOR ALMOST AS LONG THIS CORPUS CHRISTI OPENED ITS DOORS TO BLACK CHICAGOANS IN THE 1930s.

>> SINCE MY GRANDFATHER JOINING IN THE 30s THERE'S BEEN SOMEONE FROM THE FAMILY OR SEVERAL SOMEONE'S OF THE FAMILY WHO HAVE BEEN MEMBERS.

>> WILLIAMS HALL WAS BAPTIZED AT CORPUS CHRISTI, GOT MARRIED HERE AND RAISED HER CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH AND HER GRANDDAUGHTER AND GREAT NEPHEW WERE BAPTIZED HERE, TOO.

>> I KNOW IT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH NOW BUT HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY ARE THE FIFTH GENERATION OF A FAMILY THAT HAS BELONGED TO A CHURCH AND HELPED BUILDUP THIS CHURCH OVER THE YEARS I HOPE THAT THAT WILL BE EXCITING AND MEANINGFUL TO THEM.

>> FOR DECADES, CORPUS CHRISTI WAS A BUSTLING PARISH.

ONE HOME TO AROUND 3,000 MEMBERS.

IT OPERATED A GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND EVEN A CREDIT UNION THAT GAVE LOANS TO BLACK CHICAGOANS WHEN MOST BANKS WOULDN'T.

BUT THIS SUNDAY, WILLIAMS HALL AND HER FAMILY WILL ATTEND THEIR FINAL MASS AT THE CHURCH.

FOR THE LAST TIME, THEY WILL PRAY AND SING UNDER THE SOARING VAULT CEILING DESIGNED BY JOSEPH WILLIAM McCARTHY.

ON JULY FIRST, CORPUS CHRISTI AND FOUR OTHER CHURCHES SERVING PREDOMINANTLY BLACK COMMUNITIES ON THE SOUTH SIDE ARE SET TO BE UNIFIED INTO ONE.

THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH CATHOLICS IN THE AREA ANYMORE TO SUPPORT THAT MANY PARISHES.

>> THE FIVE PARISHES WILL CALL THIS BUILDING HOME.

HOLY ANGELS CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH WILL BE RENAMED OUR LADY OF AFRICA.

FOR CORPUS CHRISTI MEMBERS, THE MOVE WILL BE BITTERSWEET.

BUT NOT EXACTLY A SURPRISE.

>> AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE CHURCH IS IT'S EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN.

THE HEATING BILL, WATER, ELECTRICITY, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE'S WATER DAMAGE THAT HAPPENED TO THE CHURCH.

AND IT'S EXPENSIVE.

WE HAVE A DWINDLING CONGREGATION.

>> LARRY COPE IS ANOTHER LIFELONG CORPUS CHRISTI PARISHIONER AND THE CHURCH'S HISTORIAN.

HE UNDERSTANDS IT'S NO LONGER FEASIBLE FOR THE EXPANSIVE CHURCH TO OPERATE AS A STAND ALONE PARISH.

BUT HE AND WILLIAMS HALL ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE BUILDING AFTER THE FINAL MASS.

ITS WALLS ARE LINED WITH OTHER NATURE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS AND STATIONS OF THE CROSS PAINTINGS SEVERAL HAVE BEEN RESTORED.

>> I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CHURCH AND AGAIN, THE OTHER CHURCHES.

LIKE PARTICULARLY ST. AMBROSE AND ST. ANSELM ARE LARGER OLDER CHURCHES AND IT'S LIKE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM?

THESE WERE MAJOR INSTITUTIONS IN THE COMMUNITY AND ARE THOSE BUILDINGS JUST GOING TO BE SITTING THERE VACANT?

>> IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS FROM WTTW NEWS, A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE SAYS THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC PLANS FOR CORPUS CHRISTI AT THE MOMENT AND IN A STATEMENT WROTE THAT AFTER CHURCHES ARE CLOSED QUOTE THE PROPERTIES ARE SECURED AND SACRED ITEMS OR IMPORTANT OR PARTICULARLY VALUABLE ITEMS ARE REMOVED.

AND CENTRALLY STORED TO BE RELOCATED LATER TO ANOTHER PARISH WITHIN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO OR A DIOCESE.

OVERALL, COPE SAYS HE IS ROOTING FOR THE PARISH MERGER TO BE SUCCESSFUL BUT SAYS BLACK CATHOLICS IN CHICAGO NEED MORE SUPPORT TO GROW AND FLOURISH.

>> WE'RE BLACK, AND WE'RE UNAPOLOGETICLY CATHOLIC.

IN AN AREA THAT HAS EVERY OTHER CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION.

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE A SMALL COMMUNITY AMONGST ALL OF OUR OTHER CHRISTIAN BROTHERS WE HAVE A VOICE THAT NEEDS TO BE HEARD AND NEEDS TO STILL BE PRESENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> AND KATIE WILLIAMS HALL SAYS SHE WILL BE ATTENDING MASS AT OUR LADY OF AFRICA EVEN IF IT WON'T BE QUITE THE SAME.

>> WE HAVE BEEN ATTENDING CHURCH ALL OUR LIVES AS A FAMILY FOR THE MOST PART.

I HOPE WE CAN AT LEAST CONTINUE THAT.

>> FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT" I'M QUINN MYERS.

>> AND AND CORPUS CHRISTI MEMBERS SAY THEY ARE HOPING AN INSTITUTION OR MUSEUM TAKES AN INTEREST IN THE CHURCH'S STAINED GLASS AND PAINTINGS.

AND ST. ELIZABETH WILL SERVE AS A HERITAGE CENTER FOR FATHER AUGUSTUS TOLTON WHO ESCAPED SLAVERY TO BECOME THE FIRST RECOGNIZED BLACK CATHOLIC PRIEST IN THE UNITED STATES.

WE CHECK BACK IN WITH BRANDIS FRIEDMAN WHO SPENT THE DAY REPORTING IN WOODRIDGE AS PART OF OUR "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES".

>> AND EARLIER TODAY, I SPEAK WITH GINA CUNNINGHAM SHE IS THE MAYOR OF THE VILLAGE OF WOODRIDGE.

AND I BEGAN BY ASKING HER WHAT RECOVERY HAS BEEN LIKE THIS WEEK FOR HER COMMUNITY?

>> AFTER THE INITIAL DEVASTATION AND SEEING ALL THE DESTRUCTION THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, WHICH WAS EXTREMELY GUT WRENCHING, TODAY I KNOW IT IS A NEW DAY.

SO AND DRIVING THROUGH WOODRIDGE, YOU KNOW YOU STILL SEE SOME DEBRIS AND THE HOUSES THAT ARE DEMOLISHED OR HALF A HOUSE MIGHT BE STANDING.

BUT FROM MONDAY TO TODAY IT IS INCREDIBLE.

THE CLEANUP WORK, POWER IS RESTORED 100% THROUGHOUT WOODRIDGE.

THERE'S STILL POCKETS THAT MAY NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

SOME INDIVIDUAL HOMES.

BUT I'M PROUD OF WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY AND NOW WE'RE REALLY CONCENTRATING ON HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS.

>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE OR WHAT DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAS YOUR STAFF TOLD YOU ABOUT THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE?

>> SINCE MONDAY MORNING VERY EARLY, I HAVE BEEN GOING OUT IN THE COMMUNITY MYSELF AS WELL AS EVERY EVENING TRYING TO GO AND VISIT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED.

AND I'VE SEEN FOR MYSELF THE LOSS.

YOU MAY PULL UP AND SEE LIKE A SUBJECT DIVISION THAT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS NOT HIT AND YOU GO BACK TO A STREET AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THE DAMAGE.

>> HOW MANY HOMES?

>> SO A TOTAL -- I HAVE FIGURES.

WE HAVE CHECKED AS A VILLAGE ABOUT 900 HOMES.

AND OUT OF THAT NUMBER WE KNOW THAT APPROXIMATELY 30 ARE TOTAL LOSSES.

WHICH IS DEVASTATING.

AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE ABOUT 400 HOMES THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED AND OUT OF THAT NUMBER ABOUT 160 HAVE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE.

>> THE FOLKS WE'VE SPOKEN WITH TODAY WE'VE HEARD A THEME OF RESIDENTS, NEIGHBORS HELPING EACH OTHER AND COMING TOGETHER AND I'M GETTING MORE OF A SENSE OF THAT FROM YOU.

WHAT IS THE CITY DOING TO HELP SUPPORT THESE NEIGHBORS?

>> WE HAVE REACHED OUT AND ACTUALLY WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE PEOPLE REACHING OUT TO US SUCH AS THE WOODRIDGE ROTARY AND I HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN A CHARTER MEMBER AND I AM AN HONORARY MEMBER AND IT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT OUTREACH.

THEY EXPECTED IN AND HELPED RESTAURANTS PACK LUNCHES.

DELIVER HOT FOOD AT NIGHT.

IT'S TREMENDOUS.

AND THE NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO IMPORTANT TO US AND I SEE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I'M OUT.

THE OTHER DAY I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC WITH SOME TRUCKS THAT WERE DOING REPAIR WORK ON A STREET CALLED EVERGLADE HIT VERY HARD.

A LOT OF DAMAGE AND TREE DAMAGE AND TREE LOSS WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT TO US BEING WE ARE A TREE CITY U.S.A. COMMUNITY.

BUT AS I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC A LITTLE BIT I SEE A GENTLEMAN ACROSS THE STREET BRINGING UP BRANCHES TO HIS PARKWAY AND HE LOOKS OVER AND HE SEES A NEIGHBOR WHICH I DID NOT SEE THAT NEIGHBOR STRUGGLING TO BRING A LARGE BRANCH UP.

HE DROPPED WHAT HE WAS DOING CUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR AND WENT AND HELPED HIS NEIGHBOR BRING OVER, I THINK SIX BRANCHES I SAW WHILE I WAS WAITING THERE.

JUST EVEN IN YOUR OWN NEED, OUTREACHING TO HELP A NEIGHBOR AND THAT IS THROUGHOUT WOODRIDGE.

NEIGHBORS WHO ARE OFFERING AND OPENING UP THEIR HOMES.

>> AND IN ABOUT THREE MINUTES, THIS WEST SUBURBAN COMMUNITY PANTRY WILL BE CLOSING FOR THE NIGHT.

PARIS, WE WILL HAVE MORE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HERE ABOUT HOW THIS COMMUNITY PANTRY HAS BEEN HELPING THIS WEEK AND DURING THE PANDEMIC.

FOR NOW, BACK TO YOU.

>> BOY, THOSE PICTURES OF TREES UPROOTED LOOKS DEVASTATING BUT AS THE MAYOR SAID YOU SEE THE BEST COME OUT IN PEOPLE THANK YOU.

>> AND STILL TO COME ON "CHICAGO TONIGHT"...

THE LEADERS BEHIND THE PROPOSAL TO RENAME LAKE SHORE DRIVE ARE WILLING TO COMPROMISE.

BUT THERE IS A STIPULATION.

THAT AND MORE FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S HEATED CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

>> AND IT DOESN'T END WELL IN THE MOVIES BUT RESEARCHERS REVIVED MICROSCOPIC CREATURES FROZEN IN THE PERMAFROST FOR 24,000 YEARS.

>> GEOFFREY BAER TACKLES THE ANGLES AND NAMES AND STORIES IN THE STREET SYSTEM IN THIS WEEK'S "ASK GEOFFREY".

>> I HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT SONG?

♪WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE.

>> AND AS PHIL PONCE GETS SET TO MOVE FROM WEEKLY SEGMENTS TO SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS IN TONIGHT'S "PONCE MOMENTS" WE LOOK BACK AT OUR FAVORITE ARTS AND CULTURE ENCOUNTERS.

FIRST, SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES..., PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCED A BIPARTISAN COMPROMISE ON INFRASTRUCTURE.

THE PRESIDENT MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT WITH A GROUP OF 10 SENATORS TODAY.

THE DEAL IS SMALLER THAN THE $2 TRILLION PLAN HE PROPOSED THIS CALLS FOR $973 BILLION IN FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION, WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND BROADBAND.

>> I'M PREPARED TO DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO GET DONE TO MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD.

THAT IS WHAT I DID WITH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN.

LET ME SAY THIS.

WHEN WE CAN FIND COMMON GROUND THAT IS WHAT I WILL SEEK TO DO.

>> RESCUE CREWS ARE SEARCHING FOR SURVIVORS AFTER A 12 STOREY BUILDING COLLAPSED OUTSIDE MIAMI EARLY TODAY.

OFFICIALS SAY THERE ARE AT LEAST 99 PEOPLE UNACCOUNTED FOR AFTER A PART OF THE CHAMPLAIN TOWERS SOUTH CONDO COLLAPSED IN SURFSIDE.

ONE IS DEAD ACCORDING TO REPORTS BUT THAT NUMBER COULD RISE DRAMATICALLY.

PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS ACTIVATED FEMA TO BE READY TO ASSIST IF THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR REQUESTS IT.

>> THE LEADERS BEHIND THE EFFORT TO RENAME LAKE SHORE DRIVE FOR JEAN BAPTISTE POINTE DuSABLE WILL AGREE TO A COMPROMISE ON THE PLAN BUT ONLY IF THE VOTE HAPPENS TOMORROW.

THIS AFTER YESTERDAY'S FIERY CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

WTTW NEWS REPORTER HEATHER CHERONE JOINS US WITH MORE.

WHAT DOES THIS LATEST PLAN CALL FOR?

>> WELL, LAKE SHORE DRIVE WOULD BECOME DUSABLE LAKE SHORE DRIVE ON THE OUTER DRIVE FROM 67TH STREET TO HOLLYWOOD AVENUE IN EDGEWATER.

AS YOU SAID THIS IS A DEAL ONLY AVAILABLE TOMORROW AND ONLY IF THERE IS AN END TO THE PARLIAMENTARY SHENANIGANS THAT DELAYED THIS VOTE TWICE.

>> WHY WAS THAT PLAN DELAYED AGAIN YESTERDAY?

REMIND US.

>> WELL, THERE WAS A DISPUTE OVER THE CONFIRMATION OF MAYOR LORI LIGHTFOOT'S PICK TO LEAD THE CITY'S LAW DEPARTMENT CELIA MEZA.

THAT PROMPTED THE MAYOR AND HER ALLIES TO ABRUPTLY ADJOURN THE MEETING AND SCHEDULE A NEW MEETING FOR 1:00 P.M.

TOMORROW WHERE WE'LL ALL HEAD BACK TO CITY HALL AND TRY TO SEE IF THE CITY COUNCIL CAN GET STUFF DONE.

>> AND THERE'S LINGERING ANGER OVER THE ENDING OF THAT MEETING.

22 ALDERPEOPLE SENT A LETTER TO THE MAYOR WITH A POINTED REQUEST ONE OF THE SIGNATORIES WAS ED BURKE.

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

>> WELL, THEY ACCUSED LIGHTFOOT OF TRAMPLING DEMOCRACY IN CHICAGO BY SELECTIVELY USING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE ON THE COUNCIL FLOOR TO BENEFIT HER ALLIES AND HER INITIATIVES.

AND THEY SAY THAT IT REACHED A HEAD YESTERDAY AND THAT THEY WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANYMORE.

AND THEY URGED HER TO WORK MORE COLLABORATIVELY WITH THEM OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

>> WE'LL SEE WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE.

WE ARE OUT OF TIME QUICKLY, IS THIS COMPROMISE GOING TO PASS TOMORROW?

>> I LEFT MY CRYSTAL BALL IN THE OTHER ROOM.

YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE.

>> OH, ALL RIGHT.

HEATHER THANK YOU ANYWAY.

THANK YOU.

>> THANKS, PARIS.

>> AND YOU CAN READ HEATHER'S STORY ON OUR WEBSITE AT WTTW.COM/NEWS.

>> AND UP NEXT A ROUNDUP OF STORIES MAKING WAVES IN THE WORLD OF SCIENCE.

SO STAY WITH US.

>> RESEARCHERS IN RUSSIA REVIVE CREATURES FROZEN IN ARCTIC PERMAFROST FOR MORE THAN 20,000 YEARS.

AND A NEW VACCINE FOR MALARIA AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MUSIC AND MEMORY AND HOW LAUGHING GAS IS USED TO TREAT SEVERE DEPRESSION.

JOINING US NOW IS UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PALEONTOLOGIST, NEIL SHUBIN THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS ARCTIC ZOMBIES.

FIRST OF ALL THEY ARE FROZEN IN PERMAFROST FOR 24,000 YEARS.

WHAT IS IT.

>> IT IS A SINGLE CELL CREATURE WITH HAIRS AROUND ITS MOUTH AND THEY TWITCH A LITTLE BIT AND THEY ARE COMMON AND THEY ARE COMMON UP IN THE ARCTIC.

>> HOW DID SCIENTISTS REVIVE THEM?

>> THEY DUG IN THE PERMAFROST 11 FEET WHICH IS FROZEN TUNDRA.

AND THEY USED CHEMICAL ANALYSIS TO TELL THERE WAS 24,000 YEARS OLD THEY HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN ICE FOR 24,000 YEARS THEY PUT THEM IN A DISH.

AND THEY THAWED THEM OUT GRADUALLY IN THE DISH AND THEY LOOKED UNDER A MICROSCOPE THEY SAW THEM SWIMMING AND THEY WERE REPRODUCING.

THEY WERE THRIVING.

THEY'RE BACK.

>> GOODNESS.

HOW DID THEY DEVELOP THIS ABILITY TO GO TO SLEEP OR WHATEVER THE TERM IS FOR 24,000 YEARS AND COME BACK?

>> IT'S CALL CRYPTO BIOSIS.

A SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

THEIR LIFE PROCESSES COMPLETELY STOP AND THEY CAN SIT FROZEN LIKE THAT FOR 24,000 YEARS MAYBE MORE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY HAVE A SERIES OF PROTEINS THAT SIT INSIDE THEIR CELLS THAT ALLOWS THEM TO FREEZE OVER AND PREVENTS DAMAGE.

AND THE DAMAGE THAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY ARE FROZEN, THE DAMAGE HAPPENS WHEN THE LIFE STOPS AND DAMAGE HAPPENS WHEN THEY THAW ALL THOSE THINGS CAN WREAK HAVOC ON A CELL BUT THE PROTEINS PROTECT THEM.

>> WHAT IS THE END GAME AND THE POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS?

>> THEY PROTECT CELLS THEY CAN PUT CELLS IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION IT WOULD BE FABULOUS FOR WOUND HEALING IN PEOPLE AND BASICALLY INCREASE THE VITALITY OF OUR CELL.

>> LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC THAT IS MAKING HEADLINES.

AND THIS IS THE NEW MEDICINE FOR MALARIA.

THIS IS RESEARCHERS AT WALTER REED ARMY INSTITUTE DEVELOPED THIS NEW VACCINE.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE OLD ONES?

>> WELL, THEY DIDN'T WORK WELL.

WHAT HAPPENS THEY WOULD WEAR OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE.

AND MALARIA IS A SCOURGE.

OVER 200 MILLION PEOPLE GET IT EVERY YEAR AND HALF A MILLION DIE FROM IT AND THERE IS NO VACCINE TO WORK AGAINST IT UNTIL NOW.

>> THIS MALARIA WAS TESTED ON MICE.

HOW DO THEY CREATE THIS VACCINE?

>> IT IS MRNA VACCINE, IF YOU HAD THE PFIZER VACCINE OR THE MODERNA VACCINE THEY ARE MRNA AND IT IS A MOLECULE OF MRNA AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

AND WHAT IT DOES, IT ENTERS THE BLOODSTREAM AND CAUSES THE BODY TO MAKE A PROTEIN THAT MIMICS THAT ON THE CELL OF THE BUG THAT CAUSES MALARIA WHICH YOU CAN DEVELOP ANTIBODIES AND DESTROY THE BUG.

THIS WORKS IN MICE.

SO IT IS A LONG STEP TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE BUT IT'S EXTREMELY PROMISING.

MUSIC AND MEMORY.

RESEARCHERS FOUND A LINK BETWEEN MUSIC AND MEMORY.

WHAT DID THEY DO?

>> OK. WELL, DO YOU HAVE A TONE THAT SITS IN YOUR HEAD AND YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT?

>> THE "CHICAGO TONIGHT" THEME.

>> CALLED EARWORMS AND THEY FOUND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARWORMS AND MEMORY.

THEY TOOK UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS STUDENTS AND PLAYED MUSIC ONE WEEK AND A WEEK LATER THEY PLAYED THEM A MOVIE WHICH THEY HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE WITH THE MUSIC AND THEY HAD ANOTHER GROUP OF STUDENTS WHERE THEY DID NOT PLAY MUSIC.

AND THEY DID THE SURVEY AND ASKED THE STUDENTS IF THEY DEVELOPED EARWORMS.

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THE STUDENTS WHO DEVELOP AN EARWORM TO THE MUSIC COULDN'T GET THE MUSIC OUT OF THEIR HEAD REMEMBERED THE MOVIE EXTREMELY WELL.

THAT IS LIKE THEY JUST SAW IT YESTERDAY.

AND THEY HAD A LONG-TERM RECALL OF IT, WERE PROBED ABOUT THE MOVIE LIKE A MONTH LATER THEY STILL REMEMBERED IT.

SO THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSIC AND LONG-TERM MEMORY.

>> SCIENTISTS HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THAT FOR SOMETIME THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN MUSIC AND MEMORY.

A RECENT EXAMPLE WAS A MOVING VIDEO THAT WENT VIRAL SHOWING FORMER BALLERINA WHO HAD DEMENTIA.

AND MUSIC FROM SWAN LAKE WAS BEING PLAYED ON HER HEADPHONES AND WE ALSO SEE VIDEO OF HER FROM 40 OR 50 YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WAS PERFORMING IT.

ARE THERE POTENTIAL CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THIS WORK?

>> THAT VIDEO IS INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.

BECAUSE WHAT YOU WILL NOTICE THEY PLAYED MUSIC EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS ALZHEIMER'S SHE HAS FULL MUSCLE MEMORY HER FACE HAD THE EMOTIONS AND SHE WAS ABLE TO RECALL LONG-TERM MEMORIES.

THE IDEA IS CAN ♪ THERAPY HAS BEEN AROUND BUT WE CAN TARGET IT AND IDENTIFY TUNES AND WE HAVE TUNES THAT WE LIKE AND ONES THAT SIT IN OUR HEADS AND WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.

CAN WE TARGET THIS TO PEOPLE THAT WE CAN HELP THEM AND PARTICULARLY IN PEOPLE WITH MEMORY LOSS.

AS WE GET OLDER IT'S MORE COMMON SO WE WILL NEED THERAPIES.

>> LAUGHING GAS TO TREAT DEPRESSION COLLEAGUES OF YOURS AT U CHICAGO HAVE FOUND A NOVEL WAY TO TREAT SEVERE DEPRESSION AND WHAT HAVE THEY DISCOVERED?

>> THEY DID A STUDY WHERE THEY GAVE PEOPLE FROM HOUR 50% LAUGHING GAS NITROUS OXIDE AND IT KNOCKED THE PEOPLE OUT BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAD PROFOUND DEPRESSION WERE RELIEVED OF THE SYMPTOMS FOR 24 HOURS.

THAT WAS PROMISING BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE RESULT IS THAT THE PEOPLE OFTEN HAD SIDE EFFECTS THEY HAD HEADACHES AND NAUSEOUS.

SO THEY TRIED THIS TIME IS GAVE A 25% MY INDUSTRIES OX NITROUS OXIDE GAS AND WHEN THEY REMOVED IT THEY TESTED THEIR SIGNS OF DEPRESSION FOR WEEKS LATER AND THEY FOUND THAT THERE WAS A REMISSION OF DEPRESSION A PARTIAL OR COMPLETE REMISSION OF DEPRESSION FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS.

IT WAS MUCH MORE ENDURING.

IT'S PROMISING FOR PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE INTRACTABLE DEPRESSION.

>> DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE SORT OF THING THAT MIGHT BE USED FOR TREATING SHORT-TERM PEOPLE WHO DON'T RESPOND TO MEDICATION?

>> I THINK THAT IS THE PLAN.

IF PEOPLE ARE NOT RESPONDING TO TRADITIONAL MEDICATION THESE THERAPIES THIS AND OTHERS SEEM TO HAVE AN EFFECT WITH PEOPLE INTRACTABLE AND PROFOUND DEPRESSION.

>> NEIL SHUBIN I WANT TO SAY ON A PERSONAL LEVEL IT'S BEEN WONDERFUL WORKING WITH YOU OVER THE YEARS.

AS I'VE SAID BEFORE WE STARTED YOU HAVE TONS OF CHARISMA AND YOU ARE SUPER SMART IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.

>> THANK YOU PHIL.

THE PLEASURE HAS BEEN MINE.

>> AND NOW, PARIS BACK TO YOU.

>> THANKS, PHIL.

AND NOW WE CHECK BACK IN WITH BRANDIS FRIEDMAN WHO IS COANCHORING FROM SUBURBAN WOODRIDGE AS PART OF OUR "IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SERIES".

>> AND PARIS, RIGHT NOW WE ARE JOINED BY LAURA COYLE, SHE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE WEST SUBURBAN COMMUNITY PANTRY.

THANK YOU FOR HOSTING US HERE IN YOUR WAREHOUSE.

TELL US ABOUT SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU ALL HAVE MADE THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY TO HELP RESIDENTS RECOVER?

>> IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STORMS HIT ON SUNDAY, WE GATHERED AS A TEAM HERE AND WE WERE GRATEFUL THAT OUR FACILITY WAS STILL IN TACT.

SO THAT WE COULD BE HERE TO SERVE THE PUBLIC AND WE DECIDED THEN WE WOULD EXTEND OUR HOURS THIS WEEK.

SO WE HAVE ADDITIONAL HOURS FOR DONATION AND FOR CLIENT SERVICE.

AND WE ALSO DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BASICALLY WAIVE ANY OF OUR RESTRICTIONS WE HAVE WHO COULD COME TO THE PANTRY IF THEY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE STORM.

IT'S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE KNOW THEY CAN COME TO US AND WE ARE AN EMERGENCY RESOURCE IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY LIMITATIONS ON WHO CAN COME AND VISIT US.

>> WHEN YOU SAY WAIVE RESTRICTIONS THE INCOME REQUIREMENTS.

>> AN INCOME OR ELIGIBILITY PHASED IN INCOME THAT WE ASK OF PEOPLE AND SO DURING A SITUATION LIKE THIS, THAT IS IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.

WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN GET THE RESOURCES OUT TO PEOPLE.

>> HOW WOULD YOU SAY THE STORM IMPACTED RESIDENTS THAT YOU WERE ALREADY SERVING?

>> IT'S BEEN CHALLENGING.

I MEAN FOR RESIDENTS WE HAVE BEEN SERVING AND RESIDENTS WE'RE NOT.

PEOPLE ALL ACROSS THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THIS.

OUR PEOPLE WE'RE SERVING OUR VOLUNTEERS EVERYONE.

WE'VE HAD PEOPLE COME IN FOR SERVICE JUST EVEN TODAY WHO YOU KNOW HAD ANYTHING FROM THE ROOF BLOWN OFF THEIR HOUSE TO THEY LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF POWER FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

WHETHER OR NOT IT DAMAGED YOUR PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY THERE'S STILL AN IMPACT A GREATER IMPACT ON PEOPLE EVEN IF IT WAS THE LOSS OF POWER.

>> HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND THE NEEDS THEY HAVE?

>> I MEAN, I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGES THINGS IS WE WERE JUST TURNING THE CORNER FROM THE PANDEMIC.

AND WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT LAST MARCH, WE WITHIN A MONTH SAW OUR NUMBERS INCREASE BY DOUBLE.

OUR NUMBERS DOUBLED.

LITERALLY ON THE SPOT ESSENTIALLY.

SO WE KNOW THAT AND THAT'S BEEN SUSTAINED.

IT STARTED TO LEVEL OFF JUST RECENTLY AND NOW THIS HAPPENED.

I FEEL IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WE ARE HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I FEEL BADLY FOR EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAS JUST GETTING BACK ON THEIR FEET AND NOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS.

>> DID THE PANTRY RECEIVE ANY DAMAGE?

>> WE HAVE NOT HAD WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY DAMAGE.

WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

BUT LITERALLY, A MILE THIS WAY AND A MILE THAT WAY, IT'S JUST DECIMATED >> WHAT ARE YOU ANTICIPATING DOWN THE ROAD AS FAR AS NEEDS.

OBVIOUSLY THE RED CROSS IS IN THE AREA RIGHT NOW.

WHAT IS NEXT IN THE WEEKS AHEAD?

>> WE'RE REALLY AN AGENCY THAT IS HERE FOR THE LONG-HAUL.

AS PEOPLE ARE USING THE RED CROSS' SERVICES RIGHT NOW FOR THAT IMMEDIATE RELIEF WE'RE THE AGENCY WHO IS HERE IN THE COMMUNITY ONCE THAT SORT OF MOVES ON AND THEY NEED TO START GETTING BACK ON THEIR FEET.

WE ARE ANTICIPATING WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE VISITING US, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ASKING US TO CONNECT THEM TO OTHER AGENCIES AND SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY AND PROBABLY A GOOD SIX MONTHS TIME-FRAME FOR PEOPLE TO REALLY GET BACK ON THEIR FEET.

>> AND WHAT OTHER WAYS BEYOND FOOD ARE YOU STEPPING UP TO HELP THE FOLKS IN NEED?

>> WE HAVE FOOD, DIAPERS, PET FOOD, CLEANING SUPPLIES, WE ALSO HAVE A SERVICE WHERE WE CAN CONNECT PEOPLE WITH THINGS LIKE GAS CARDS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA THAT PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR EVEN SHELTER WE CAN CONNECT PEOPLE TO THOSE SERVICES.

WE HAVE A HOTLINE THAT WE'VE SETUP WHERE BASICALLY PEOPLE CAN CALL IN.

THEY PRESS ZERO ON THE NUMBER AND SOMEONE WILL ANSWER HERE AND CONNECT THEM TO THE SERVICES THEY NEED.

>> COMPREHENSIVE ACCESS.

THANKS TO LAURA COYLE.

AND THE TEAM HERE FOR LETTING US HANGOUT HERE TONIGHT WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> WE WILL BE BACK TO WRAP UP WITH YOU IN A BIT BACK TO YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND UP NEXT, GEOFFREY BAER TACKLES THE CHICAGO STREET GRID IN AND A AND CORE PRESENTATION OF ASK SKVMENT FIRST, WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEATHER... >> ANGLES, CURVES, ONE WAYS AND DEAD-ENDS.

CHICAGO'S STREET SYSTEM HAS BEEN A SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR THE RESIDENTS AND ITS HISTORY AND QUIRKS DATE BACK TO BEFORE CHICAGO WAS EVEN FOUNDED.

GEOFFREY BAER IS HERE WITH MORE IN THIS WEEK'S "ASK GEOFFREY".

WELCOME BACK GEOFFREY.

>> THANKS, BRANDIS.

>> WE HAVE TWO RELATED QUESTIONS.

THE FIRST ONE... >> SO THE STREET GRID IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF EVERY CHICAGOANS LIFE WHETHER YOU REALIZE IT OR NOT.

AS THE QUESTION MENTIONS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT EAST-WEST STREETS ON CHICAGO'S NORTH SIDE HAVE NAMES LIKE DIVISION AND LAWRENCE.

WHILE ALMOST ALL OF THE EAST-WEST STREETS ON THE SOUTH SIDE ARE NUMBERED.

YOU KNOW, LIKE 47TH STREET.

79TH STREET AND SO FORTH.

THE STORY BEHIND CHICAGO'S STREET NAMES DATES BACK TO THE CITY'S EARLY DAYS WHEN THE CITY WAS SPLIT INTO THREE PARTS.

WE HAD A NORTH DIVISION, A SOUTH DIVISION AND A WEST DIVISION.

NOW, STREETS IN THE SOUTH DIVISION AT ONE TIME DID HAVE NAMES.

BUT AS CHICAGO STARTED GROWING THINGS GOT MESSY.

THE CITY WAS RAPIDLY GOBBLING UP TOWNSHIPS AND THIS RESULTED IN A LOT OF DUPLICATE STREET NAMES AND ADDRESSES A NIGHTMARE FOR CIVIC PLANNING LET ALONE MAIL DELIVERY.

IN 1861, TO LIMIT THE CONFUSION CITY COUNCIL PASSED AN ORDINANCE TO RENAME THE STREETS ONLY IN THE SOUTH DIVISION LATER KNOWN AS THE SOUTH SIDE AS NUMBERS.

CHICAGO CARTOGRAPHER, DENNIS SAYS ONE REASON THAT THEY ONLY RENAMED STREETS IN THE SOUTH DIVISION COULD BE BECAUSE MANY OF THE ORIGINAL NAMES WERE ORDINARY LIKE BRIDGE STREET OR OLD STREET.

THIS WAS IN CONTRAST TO NORTH SIDE STREETS WHICH WERE MORE HIKELY TO BE NAMED FOR CITIZENS AND EARLY CHICAGOANS.

IT MIGHT HAVE SEEN AS DISRESPECTFUL TO REMOVE THOSE NAMES IN LATER YEARS I AM OF THE NAMES WERE CHANGED ANYWAY.

ANOTHER REASON COULD BE THAT CITY LEADERS EXPECTED CHICAGO MOSTLY TO EXPAND TO THE SOUTH.

AND THIS MEANT THE NUMBERS WOULD BE MORE CONVENIENT AS THE CITY EXPANDED TO ADD MORE NUMBERED STREETS.

BUT THE HEADACHES WERE NOT OVER.

ANNEXATIONS LED TO STILL MORE INSTANCES OF MULTIPLE ADDRESSES AND THIS WAS RESOLVED IN THE 20TH CENTURY THANKS TO AN INTREPID URBAN PLANNER, AMATEUR URBAN PLANNER.

EDWARD P. BRENNAN.

BRENNAN PROPOSED STARTING A CENTRALIZED STREET NUMBERING SYSTEM UNIFYING THE STREET NUMBERING ALL OVER THE CITY WITH THE AXIS BEING STATE AND MADISON STREETS IN THE LOOP AND IDEA THE CITY BEGAN ADOPTING IN 1908.

DENNIS OUR CARTOGRAPHER DID POINT OUT ANOTHER PROPOSAL FROM AROUND THAT TIME WHICH WOULD HAVE ALSO REPLACED NORTH SIDE STREET NAMES WITH NUMBERS.

ON THIS MAP, FOSTER AVENUE, AN OLD REAL ESTATE MAP, IS ACTUALLY LABELED OR ALSO LABELED 5 NORTH 59TH STREET AND THAT IS EXTRA STRANGE TODAY BECAUSE FOSTER IS 5200 NORTH.

>> THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONFUSING.

THEN THERE ARE THE DIAGONAL STREETS.

HOW DO THOSE FIT IN?

>> WELL, MANY OF CHICAGO'S ANGLED STREETS AND AVENUES LIKE CLARK, LINCOLN, ACTUALLY FOLLOW FORMER NATIVE-AMERICAN TRAILS.

AND THEN THESE BECAME STREETS WHEN NONNATIVE SETTLERS CAME INTO THE AREA.

AND THEY TURNED THEM IN SOME CASES INTO PLANK ROADS LIKE ROADS MADE OF WOODEN PLANKS.

AND THE GRID WAS BUILT ACROSS THE ANGLED THOROUGHFARES.

>> AND WHAT ABOUT THE LAST PART OF THE QUESTION.

WHAT WOULD CHICAGO BE LIKE WITHOUT THE ANGLED STREETS?

>> IT MIGHT BE HARDER TO GET AROUND.

IMAGINE HAVING TO ZIG-ZAG THROUGH A RIGID GRID RATHER THAN CUT THROUGH ON ARCHER OR MILWAUKEE.

DIAGONAL STREETS WERE KEY PLAYERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MANY CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS.

THEY CREATE MASSIVE INTERSECTIONS LIKE THE SIX CORNERS IN PORTAGE PARK.

AND THEY CONTINUED TO BE CENTERS OF COMMERCE IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE CITY.

>> GEOFFREY BAER THANK YOU AS ALWAYS.

>> MY PLEASURE.

>> AND DON'T FORGET YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT CHICAGO'S STREET GRID AND SUBMIT YOUR OWN QUESTION TO GEOFFREY BAER AT WTTW.COM/NEWS.

>> AND WE'RE BACK WITH MORE RIGHT AFTER THIS.

HE SAID WHAT DID YOU SAY AT THE MEETING OF THE YIPPIES AND I STARTED SINGING ♪WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE,AND THE CLERK'S HAND WENT OVER MY MOUTH AND SHUT ME UP AND I WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE COURT.

THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER I WAS IN SHOCK.

>> GET THE STATEMENT PREPARED.

>> HOW RED WERE YOUR CHEEKS HOW HARD DID YOU BLUSH INTERVIEWING RITA MORENO.
