For the “It’s his business and no one else’s” crowd regarding the vaccine, well, that argument doesn’t really hold up here. The Packers, 7-1 and in possession of the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs, will now head to Kansas City, Mo. this weekend for a key midseason game without the reigning league MVP. Their offense remains in disarray as a result. Rodgers can’t play. Third-string quarterback Kurt Benkert remains out after his own positive test. And Jordan Love, the projected starter for now, will have to spend the coming days hoping he doesn’t return an ill-timed positive test that could force him out of action Sunday as well.
Rittenhouse, who lived in far north suburban Antioch, was 17 when he fatally shot two people and wounded a third in downtown Kenosha with an AR-15-style rifle that a friend testified Tuesday he purchased for him because Rittenhouse was underage.

Compare that with suburbs with the highest vaccination rates, all above 80%, and all but one a north suburb: Barrington, Glencoe, Glenview, Northbrook, Olympia Fields and Wilmette. (This may not count communities with their own health departments, which aren’t covered by the county’s.)
Former Edmonton Oilers owner Peter Pocklington put the name of his father, Basil Pocklington, on the 1983-84 section of the Stanley Cup, but it was later stamped over, the spokeswoman said. No name has been completely removed and the Cup restamped, she said.
The measure, which takes effect Jan. 1, requires additional disclosures from officials on personal financial interests, aims to prevent lawmakers from lobbying their former colleagues immediately after they leave office, and allows the legislative inspector general to initiate investigations of alleged wrongdoing without the blessing of the ethics commission, among other changes.
