MAE SAI, Thailand — Expertdivers Sunday rescued four of 12boys from a flooded cave innorthern Thailand where theywere trapped with their soccercoach formore than twoweeks, asadangerousandcomplicatedplanunfolded amid heavy rain and thethreat of rising water under-ground.

Eight boys and the coach re-mained inside the Tham LuangNang Non cave complex as au-thorities paused the internationaleffort until Monday to replenishair tanks along the treacherous

exit route.But the success of the initial

evacuation raised hopes that allwill beout soon, althoughofficialssaid it could takeupto fourdays tocomplete.

“The operation went muchbetter than expected,” said Chi-ang Rai acting Gov. NarongsakOsatanakorn, who is overseeingthemission.

He told reporters that fourboyswere brought out and taken to thehospital in the townofChiangRai,the provincial capital, for evalua-tion, and the operation wouldresume after about 10-20 hours.

The names of the rescued boyswere not released.

His announcement, at a news

conference more than an hourafter helicopters and ambulanceswere seen rushing from the cavearea, drew cheers and applause.

Narongsak had dubbed Sundayto be “D-Day” as the complicatedeffort was launched in the morn-ing.

He said 13 foreign divers andfive Thai navy SEALswere takingpart in the key leg of the rescue:taking the boys from where theyhave been sheltering and throughdark, tight and twisting passage-ways filledwithmuddywater andstrong currents.

The hundred or so peopleweregathered in the historic SouthShore Cultural Center — educa-tors, organizers, religious leadersand the mothers of men and boysshot by police.

They were called there byWilliam Calloway, a communityactivist who was seeking theirhelp in themonths ahead.

“Laquan McDonald,” he an-nounced to the crowd, pausing tolet the name sink in. “We need toprepare our hearts for what isabout to happen. We need to askourselves: What will justice looklike?”

Three years ago, Callowayfought for the release of a video ofa white Chicago police officershooting the black teen 16 times,shocking images that launchedefforts to reform the Police De-partment. In the more than 21⁄2

years since, he has attended mostof the court hearings for OfficerJason Van Dyke, the first Chicagocop to be indicted on murdercharges ina fatal on-duty shootingin decades.

Now, with a judge pushing forthe highly anticipated trial tohappen this summer, Calloway isworrying about what the verdictwill do to the city.

Howdo activists respond if VanDyke is acquitted? How do theykeep police reform alive? How dothey help the African-Americancommunity deal with the traumaof it all?

In short, howdoes the city copewith thiswatershedmoment?

“Just watching a human beinggetting murdered like that —trauma is real, and I want to bevery sensitive to people,” saidCalloway, 29. “I want to gaugeabout howmuchwe can take in atone time and make sure we offersafe spaces where people can talkabout how this trial is makingthem feel andhow this outcome ismaking them feel.”

Whenshe toldahealthprofes-sional at a South Side facility, hedismissed it, saying many Afri-can-Americans have lumps intheirbreasts. In the threemonthsit took to get appointments andtests with other professionals toverify it was cancer, it had growninto a stage 2 tumor.

King, 59, is not alone. Racialdisparities in breast cancer diag-nosis and survival ratesmayhavemore to do with neighborhoodthan race, according to a new

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign analysis.

The study looked at patientsages 19 to 91 from breast cancerregistries in six states, includingIllinois. More than 93,600 blackwomen living in big cities from1980to2010were includedinthedata set (about 14,000 from theChicago area), which looked atneighborhood racial composi-tion and segregation, povertyrates and access to mammogra-phy.

The study found that residen-tial segregation, defined as livingin a neighborhood with a pre-dominantly African-Americanpopulation, significantly in-creased black women’s rates of

late-stage diagnosis and doubledtheir odds of dying of breastcancer. White women living inpredominantly African-Ameri-can neighborhoods had compa-rablemortality rates.

Dahleen Glantonhas the day off.

Achance encounter on a traininvariably leavesmewith an afterim-age I never get frommeeting someoneon an airplane.Maybe that’s becausesunlight streaming through a pas-senger-carwindowbounces on andoff a fellow traveler theway the lightof amovie screen flickers across theaudience.

For example,mymental image ofDavid is as vivid as itwaswhenweshared a handicapped-seating area ona South Shore train a year ago. I’llnever forget him.

I got on first,makingmyweeklyrun fromChicago to ourweekendhome in northwest Indiana. Theconductor ledme to the section of thecarwhere seats could be pushed up toaccommodatemy three-wheeledwalker.WhenDavid rolled down theaisle in awheelchair,more seats hadto be lifted up andmywalker reposi-tioned.

DavidwasAfrican-American, ap-peared to be in hismid-30s andworethe squared-off knit skullcap seen inpredominantlyMuslim countries.Mygrandfather, a Jewish immigrant,wore a cloth version.

We smiled,mutually amused by theawkwardness of our situation, andasked the obvious icebreaker: “Whereare you going?”

Davidwas on the final lap of a longday.He’d taken the South Shore toChicago, switched to aMetra trainthat took him to a southwest suburb,then rode hiswheelchair a couple ofmiles to a bank.

Hiswife and 11-year-old sonwalked alongside, he explained, ges-ticulating towhere they sat, acrossthe aisle and few rows behind us.

He’dmade the trip at the behest ofhismother,whoneeded some sort oftransaction completed there. On theway back, he stopped to pray. “Wher-ever there ismosque nearby,” he said,“I like to see it.”

Hismother lives in Lawndale,where he’d been a gangbanger. A carcrash put him in thewheelchair.

“Drugs and fighting,” he said. “As akid, I beat up a buddywho startedtalking about Islam.Wewent tochurch.”

Years later, he recalled his buddy’smessage and became aMuslim. “Ilearned that peace is better than vi-olence,” he said.

I noted that Iwas born inLawn-dale,which puzzled him.To establishmy credentials, I recited the nick-nameof the high school’s teams: “TheMarshall Commandos.”

I explained that Lawndale oncewas a Jewish neighborhood. The factthat I’dmoved onmademe an experton thewiderworld, inDavid’s eyes.

Hehas a friendwho lives in aFrench city, Avignon as I recall.They’ve spoken by phone. “You knowwhere that is?”

“I’ve been there.”“Where else have you been?”I ticked off a list: Italy, England,

Germany, Thailand, Israel,Mexico,Greece, Turkey. I collected postagestamps as a kid, and those colorful bitsof papermademewant to seewherethey came from.As soon as I couldafford it, I started traveling.

For a fewminutes, Davidwas quiet,his lipsmoving in silent prayer. Thenhe said: “Iwant to travel too ”

His faith teaches that allmen andwomen are essentially the same,whatever the color of their skin. Aquest for peace is common to us all.Hewants to see thatwith his owneyes. “Have you been toMecca?”

No, I replied, adding that I hadbeen to Jerusalem, another city holyto Islam.

“What’s it like? Tellme.”

I said that atop Jerusalem’sOldCity is the golden domeof amosquerevered byMuslims. Below it is theWesternWallwhere Jews pray.Notfar away is theChurch of theHolySepulchre, according toChristiantradition the site of Jesus’ burial.

“All of that is bounded bywalls ofJerusalem stonewith such a distinc-tive hue that once seen they’re neverforgotten,” I said. “The calls to prayerinArabic echo those inHebrew, andchurch bells toll.”

David stared off into themiddledistance, as if trying to fix thatwordpicture inmemory. The conductorcalled out— “MichiganCity!”—where I get off. David andhis familywere going on to SouthBend. Therent is cheap, he explained. And it’s abetter place for a boy to growup thanwhere he did.

But someday,David toldme, he’sgoing to see theworld.He’s deter-mined to bear personalwitness to theessential truth of humanity’s oneness.

As I got up,wewished each otherpeace.He inArabic: “AssalamuAlaikum.” I inHebrew: “ShalomAle-ichem.”

Often since then, I’ve asked theAlmighty to grantDavid hiswish. Isuppose you could attribute that toliberal guilt:Why should I enjoypleasuresway beyondhismeans?

But tome, that’s not really it. It’sbecause I can picture his expressionof ecstatic joywhen, and if, David getsto see that golden dome rising overwalls of Jerusalem stone.

Even for children who wer-en’t separated fromtheirparentsduring immigration processing,the psycho-emotional stressorsof making such a journey can be“far worse than the physicalones,” retired pediatrician JohnKahler said.

Kahler returned last weekfrom McAllen, Texas, where hehelped treat 300 Central Ameri-can children whose parents areseeking asylum in the UnitedStates.

“McAllen is a pretty, dramaticborder town that has been bicul-tural for many years,” saidKahler, of Palos Park. “It isground zero for what is happen-ing in this country right now.”

Kahler, a founding and cur-rent board member of Med-Global, an international relieforganization that has sent mis-sions to Puerto Rico, Yemen andBangladesh, worked for most ofhis life at Cook County Hospitalin Chicago. He spent the past 20years serving thepoor inmedicalmission work in Africa, Mexico,Central America, Greece, Leba-non and Yemen. In 2016, he wasamong the last Western doctorsout ofwar-tornAleppo, Syria.

When chaos broke out at theU.S. border following enactmentof a new policy that resulted insome asylum-seeking adults be-ing separated from their chil-dren as they await court pro-ceedings,Kahler saidacolleaguewith MedGlobal called andaskedwhether he could help.

He spent a week assisting themedical team at the CatholicCharities Humanitarian RespiteCenter in McAllen. While there,he said, he treated children fromHonduras, El Salvador and Gua-temala andchattedwithmanyoftheir parents.

Kahler said he did not treatchildren who had been sepa-rated from their parents.

“There are two holding facili-ties in and near McAllen. Thechildren we treated had been

held in the short-term detentioncenter with their parents,” hesaid.

After five to seven days ofprocessing, he said, these fam-ilies were released with a courtdateanddroppedat theMcAllenbus station. Near there, at theCatholic Charities center, theyreceived a meal, a shower, achange of clothes and medicalcare, he said.

President Donald Trump’s“zero-tolerance” policy, Kahlersaid, called on Immigration andCustoms Enforcement author-ities to hold asylum-seekers,deemed to have entered thecountry illegally, in long-termdetention while they await theircourt date, which can takemonths.

Because youngsters cannot beheld in federal detention, evenwith their parents, for longerthan 20 days, children of adultssent to long-termdetentionweretaken by the Department ofHealth andHuman Services andmoved into the foster care sys-tem,Kahler said.

The adults whom authoritiesdeemed should be held longerwere taken to Port IsabelleServiceProcessingCenter inLosFresnos,Texas, farther out in thedesert, he said. Their children,he said, were sent to variousdestinations across the country,includingChicago.

That policy set off a firestormof criticism across the country,with protests erupting in manyU.S. cities and towns and result-ing in Trump signing an execu-tive order June 20 ending thefamily separations.

As the government continuesto sort through the logistics ofreuniting families, Kahler wasasked about life at the Texasborder and the effect that at-tempting to relocate to a newcountry amid political turmoilhas on children.

Of the children he did see, hesaid, “Every single one of themhaddiarrhea.”

He attributed that to poor-quality food or inconsistent

mealsduring their journey to theborder, which, for some, tookweeks or months, crossingthrough two or three countries.

There were four overridingmedical complaints, Kahler said.“People would say, ‘He’s lostweight, he has diarrhea, he has acough and he has a fever.’ ”There were exceptions, he said.One father had traveled fromHonduras with his 6-year-oldchild who had hydrocephalus, abuildup of fluid in the brain.

But theemotional stressof theupheaval takes a greater toll,Kahler said.

In addition to clinginess andwithdrawal, he said, there arefour or five characteristics asso-ciatedwith themigration saga.

“Asenseof loss, difficultywithtransition, anger, depression anddepersonalization, which is theloss of identity that comes withlosing your culture and commu-nity,” Kahler said. “Those arepretty common among refugeesand immigrants.”

When adults get to wherethey’re going in the UnitedStates, they often experience afeeling of relief, he said.

“For them, arriving at theirdestination is a success,” Kahlersaid. “Not so for children.”

For kids ages 2 to 8, settlinginto a new area can bringsadnessandayearning forhome,even if home was a dangerousplace, he said.

Those children who are sepa-rated from their parents faremuchworse, Kahler said.

Young children need securitymore than anything, and to havesuch a disruption at a timewhenthey are developing their senseof self-worth can be “devas-tating,” he said.

“Older kids can cognitivelyunderstand being separated,”Kahler said. “But when you takethem away, I don’t care howgood the child careworker is, it’snot good enough to make up fortheir parents.”

So why do so many parentsmake the journey? “What theytoldmewas that, as difficult as it

is to leave their home, theirculture, everything they knowand come here, where theyknow they are not wanted, it ismuchworse to stay,” he said.

Kahler said most say they arenot running to the U.S. as muchas they are running away fromviolence. Fear of rape and gangbrutality force many parents tomake difficult choices, he said.

“In the end, I think they’rewilling to come here becausethere’s a chance life could bebetter and they hope their chil-drenwill be safer,” Kahler said.

He said that while there areseveral potential “solutions” toimmigration upheaval, “the hu-manitarian one is to not make itso difficult to get into the coun-try, toat leastmake iteasier togetthe process started.”

“Some say we need morejudges on the border,” Kahlersaid. “But lawyers could fill thatrole. They could do that firstlevel of screening.

“We could set up a morehumane crossing, a respite tran-sition center, along the border,humane places where peoplecan stay in lieu of jail during thevetting process.

“I’m not in favor of peoplerunning all over the place. Butwe’ve got the capability to keeptrack of them. And we shouldkeep track of them.”

The big solution, he said,“according to every one of therefugees I talked to, would be totakecareof theproblems in theirhome country so they can goback.”

Jurors who convicted DonnieRudd lastweekofmurderinghiswifenearly a half-century ago were nottold that hewas also suspected in theshooting death of an ArlingtonHeightswoman.

But the killing of Loretta Tabak-Bodtke in 1991 could be a factor inRudd’s upcoming sentencing.

Rudd—who’s76,and,according tohis lawyer, ill with cancer — was afree man for 45 years after the deathof Noreen Rudd, the 19-year-oldCarpentersville woman he’d marriedless than a month earlier. DonnieRudd was found cradling his fatallyinjured bride in their Ford Pintowagon ina field inBarringtonHills inSeptember 1973, and authorities atthe time accepted his explanationthat another driver ran them off theroad.

But in the intervening decades,while Rudd was working in theChicagoareaasanattorneyspecializ-ing in condo laws, he was alsosuspected— and even called before agrand a jury— in another killing, thatof Tabak-Bodtke, who was 59 whenshewas shot to death in her home.

Rudd had provided legal servicestoTabak-Bodtke,but she, like someofhis other clients, thought he wascheating her and had threatened tocomplain to the state disciplinaryboard, according to authorities andcourt documents.

Tabak-Bodtke’s husband discov-ered her lying in a pool of blood intheir kitchen with multiple gunshotwounds to her head, according tocourt records in the Noreen Ruddmurder case.

At least two neighbors said theysaw a car with “Mr. Condo” vanityplates in Tabak-Bodtke’s drivewaythat day, and one saw a white maleleaving her home with a briefcaseafter gunshots had been heard, ac-cording to the legal filing.

A re-examination of the ArlingtonHeights cold case was whatprompted authorities to take anotherlook at Noreen Rudd’s death, leadingeventually to her being exhumed andtoDonnieRudd’s arrest in 2015.

It’s unclear, though, if authoritieswill pursue charges against Rudd inconnectionwithTabak-Bodtke’sslay-ing now that he’s been convicted ofkilling the second of his five wives.Arlington Heights police say theycontinue to investigate the Tabak-Bodtke case, and the victim’s daugh-ter, StephanieTabak, said she’s hope-ful that with the publicity surround-ingDonnieRudd’smurder trial, somenew evidence might come to light inher mother’s death. Tabak attendedRudd’s trial in Cook County’s RollingMeadows court.

Rudd’s defense attorney, TimGrace, said prosecutors cannotcharge Rudd with Tabak-Bodtke’sdeath if they bring it up at hissentencing, which has yet to bescheduled.

“That would be a double jeopardyissue, basically double punishment,”Grace said.

Rudd will be allowed to choose tobe sentenced under 1973 or currentguidelines. The old standard calledfor a minimum of 14 years with nomaximum, but Rudd could poten-tially be eligible for parole after sevenyears. Under current sentencingstandards, he would face 20 to 60years and would have to serve 100percent. It may be a moot point for aman of his age andhealth.

“If hegets anymore than five years(in prison), it’s basically a deathsentence,” Grace said.

Rudd had put up $400,000 to bebailed out of jail — much of whichwill now fund his defense — but wastaken into custody after his convic-tion.

Graceplans to argue for anew trialat Rudd’s next court hearing July 26.

The attorney said Rudd’s state-ments to Arlington Heights police in2013shouldnothavebeenadmissibleas evidence. Segments of that state-ment were played in court for thejury, which asked to review themagain during its deliberations.

Jurors “obviously thought therewere inconsistencies inwhat he said.But he was an elderly man beingquestioned about events that oc-curred decades before,” Grace said.

The defense attorney contendsthat documents pertaining toNoreenRudd’s life insurance, of which Don-nie Ruddwas the beneficiary, shouldnot have been admissible. The prose-cution asserted Rudd killed his bridefor money. Grace argued in hearingsbefore the trial that there was noevidenceRudd knewhewould bene-fit from the proceeds.

After Rudd’sconviction,another coldcase lingersBy George HoudeChicago Tribune

A 3-year-old boy was killedSunday morning in an extra-alarm fire in the city’s GrandCrossing neighborhood on theSouth Side.

Chicago firefighterswere bat-tling the fire in a multiunitbuilding at 1421 E. 67th Placeafter getting the initial call about10:30 a.m., said District ChiefBarry Garr of the Chicago FireDepartment.

The child suffered cardiacarrest at the scene andwas takento Comer Children’s Hospital in“very critical condition,” FireDepartment spokesman LarryLangford said.

The boy was identified asMaqkwone Jones, who lived in

the block where he was killed,according to the Cook Countymedical examiner’s office. Hewas pronounced dead at 11:36a.m. Authorities earlier said thechildwas 4 years old.

Preliminary information indi-cated that adults were not homewith the boy at the time of thefire, but that remained underinvestigation, Langford said.

The stateDepartment ofChil-dren and Family Services wasnotified and responded to thescene, police said.

A death investigationwas alsounderway, though the causewaspossibly smoke inhalation, ac-cording to police.

Onlookers gathered nearSouthDorchesterand67thPlaceas a heavy smell of smoke filledthe air. A firefighter requiredtreatment after he became over-heated battling the fire, and athird person required treatmentfor smoke inhalation, Garr said.

About 170 people, includingemergencymedical services andadditional support personnel,

cameto thescene,Langfordsaid.“My boyfriend said, ‘I smell

something burning, I smellsomething burning,’ ” said on-looker LauraWilliams.

Williams said she saw awom-an, who she believed to be themother of a child inside, rundown Dorchester toward theburning building.

“I saw her flying from thatcorner,” said Williams, pointingacross the street.

IrisWatsonwalkedover to thescene after she got a call fromher sister Frances, who livesnext door to the building thatcaught fire.

She said she saw paramedicsdoing chest compressions on aboy whose face was covered insoot.

“I hope the kid will be OK,”FrancesWatson said.

FrancesWatson said she liveswith her son, who has a disabili-ty. She was glad she wasn’tfeeling well Sunday and stayedhome fromwork.

“If I had went to work, he

would not have left the building.So things happen for a reason,”she said.

Shewasable together catCryBaby, who meowed in a carrieras the fire died down, out of theapartment.

Watson left her three parrotsbehind, but she showed photosof the rescued birds to others onthe sidewalk.

“By the time the trucks gothere, it was blazing,” onlookerZdattoneUda said.

Brenda Pelts was two blocksaway cleaning out her car whenshe noticed the smoke and“heard the sound of firecrack-ers.”

“It sounded like an M-80going off,” she said.

The onlookers cleared outwhen firefighters walked backfrom the building around 12:45p.m. The fire remains underinvestigation.

The Rev. MarshallHatch, pastor of NewMount Pilgrim MissionaryBaptist Church on theWestSide formore than25years,sounded tired and defeatedon the phone.

A reporterwanted to talkabout the upcoming VanDyke trial, but Hatch wasstill distraught over a CookCounty judge’s decision aday earlier in a case involv-ing another black teenkilled by a Chicago cop. Itseemed to have given him abitter taste of what liesahead.

Officer Robert Rialmohad fatally shot QuintonioLeGrier in late 2015 as the19-year-old wielded a base-ball bat. A downstairsneighbor — an innocentbystander — also was shotand killed. Late last month,a jury found Rialmo’s ac-tions unjustified andawarded LeGrier’s family alittle more than $1 millionin damages.

But in another questionposed to jurors, they indi-catedRialmohad feared forhis life in the split secondsbefore he shot LeGrier. Thecontradictory conclusionsled the judge to throw outthe $1 million verdictagainst the city.

Hatch, who deliveredthe eulogy at LeGrier’s fu-neral, said his phonestarted ringing right afterthedecisionbecamepublic.The callers were troubled— as he was — by the

message from the court-room.

“(LeGrier) is worthless.Worth. Less. He is notworthy of compensation,”Hatch said. “… That is verysad.…Icouldn’t givepeoplea lot of hope as to what todo. The system seems sohorribly rigged. It justleaves a knot in the stom-ach.”

Other major cities, fromBaltimore to Minneapolisand Milwaukee, have putpolice officers on trial forfatal on-duty shootings, butin each case the officershave been cleared ofwrongdoing.

While those verdicts re-sulted in largely peacefulprotests, riots and lootinghave taken place in somecities in thewake of contro-versial police shootings.

Calloway quotes the Rev.Martin Luther King Jr. toexplain such a violent reac-tion.

“Dr. King said a riot is‘the language of the un-heard,’ ” saidCalloway,whosaid he does not supportviolence. “In the black andbrown communities, theirvoices have been sup-pressed.”

Experts said theverdicts,indeed, tap into deep feel-ings of anger and resent-ment in a black communityhistorically mistreated by alargely white criminal jus-tice system.

“It’s just festering,” saidLawrenceBrown, an assist-ant professor in the Schoolof Community Health andPolicy atMorgan StateUni-versity in Baltimore. “It’semotionally woundingtoward black communities.… We’ve watched so manyof these cases over the pastfew years, not to mentionthe longerhistoryofwatch-ing black people be killed,and no one be held ac-countable. So it’s like, ‘Herewe go again.’ ”

Fracturedrelationship

The graphic images ofMcDonald’s shooting re-inforced for many a long-standing history of exces-sive force byChicagopoliceas well as a code of silencethat protects wrongdoing.The furor over the disturb-ing images led to sustainedstreet protests, the firing ofthe police superintendentandmurder charges againstVan Dyke. And a scathingU.S. JusticeDepartment re-port concluded that Chi-cago police had long en-gaged in systemic civilrights violations, findingsthat have emboldened areform movement as thecity struggles to right thewrongs.

The central question atVan Dyke’s trial will bewhether the veteran officerwas justified in his belief

that 17-year-old McDonaldposed a lethal threat, eventhough the video showedthe teenwalking away frompolice with a knife in hishand. Three other officersare awaiting a separate trialon charges they tried tocoverupVanDyke’s actionsby exaggerating the threatposed byMcDonald.

Since the video’s release,City Hall has struggled tomend its fractured relation-ship with the black com-munity.

The distrust stems inpart from the city with-holding the video from thepublic for almost a year.Many blame Mayor RahmEmanuel for the delay, say-ing he didn’t want the issueaffecting his re-election in2015 — an allegation themayor staunchly denied. ACook County judge forcedEmanuel’s hand, orderingthe video released in No-vember 2015, months afterEmanuel’s re-election vic-tory.

Emails obtained by theTribune under the Free-dom of Information Actshow that top mayoralaides scrambled as theybraced for the reaction tothe troubling images in theweeks before the video’srelease.

The Van Dyke trial willlikely resurrect similaranger and distrust — day byday, even hour by hour —given the gavel-to-gavelcoverage the case is sure toreceive.

Brown, of Morgan State,

said a city can take one oftwo paths.

“There could be pre-paredness out of fear, pre-paredness because we areafraid of what black peoplewill do,” he said. “While theother reaction can beunderstanding that the ver-dict can be a traumaticmoment as well. … Thepolice killingwas a trauma-ticmoment.”

With this second ap-proach, the citywouldpushahead with policing re-forms and hopefully ad-dress the pain that the trialwill inevitably produce, hesaid.

When asked about howthe city was preparing forthe verdict, AdamCollins, aspokesman for Emanuel,said conversations — bothformal and informal —were ongoing.

“The discussions we’rehaving at City Hall areabout every dimension ofpublic safety, and in par-ticular are about continu-ing to promote a positivedialogue with residents,building on our partner-ships and developing re-lationships rooted in trust,”said Collins, who addedthat thecitywascommittedto pushing ahead with po-lice reforms.

‘What if hewalks?’

Calloway, who lost aDemocratic primary elec-tion for a South Side statelegislative seat earlier this

year, said he decided onholding the initial meetingat the South Shore CulturalCenter after he had been incourt earlier that same dayand heard the judge push-ing for Van Dyke’s trial totake place soon.

“Now I am starting tothink,” Calloway recalled.“What if hewalks?”

People had already beenasking him if he thoughtVan Dyke might be acquit-ted.

The Chicago Communi-ty Trust agreed to pick upthe cost of the initial meet-ing.

The decision was an ob-vious one, according toMaritza Bandera, the com-munity foundation’s man-ager of civic engagementand partnership.

“It was one of those like,‘Why didn’t we think ofthat?’ ” she said. “Regard-less of what the verdict is,how do we have theseconstructive conversationsabout what does justicelook like? In other cities,there have been massiveprotests that in some in-stances have turned vi-olent.”

Those who attended theSouth Shore meeting saidthe discussion was at timesraw, with people express-ing anger at the potentialthat Van Dyke would es-cape punishment. Someproposed launching a pub-lic campaign to educate thepublic on the legal process.Others suggested makingsure community centers —libraries and social serviceagencies — were open sopeople could gather to talkand vent.

The upcoming meetingswill also deal with howactivists and organizationsacross the city can coor-dinate their response onthe day of the verdict.

Calloway said riotingsets communities back,pointing to the economicconsequences still felt ontheWestSidehalf a centuryafter the unrest followingKing’s assassination. In-stead, he supports targetedactions — peaceful protestin business districts as away to raise awareness anddraw attention to the goalof a fairer Police Depart-ment.

While he remains un-convinced that Van Dykewas justified in the shoot-ing, Calloway said, the“movement” is not target-ing all of law enforcement.

“The movement sup-ports police. We just don’tsupport bad police,” hesaid. “Constitutional, ratio-nal police officers — wesupport those.”

Hatch, years older thanCalloway, spoke about theneed for more extensivereforms that will restorefaith within the black com-munity — life-changingjobs programs for youngmen, for instance.

He said justice will comewhen the city recognizesthat, in some neighbor-hoods, police are seenmorelike occupying armies thanpeace officers. Like Cal-loway,hesaid thecityneedsto treat police abuse withthe same seriousness asother crimes.

“They should stand forwhat is right,” he said.“Hold police accountable.”

Work is underway indowntown Tinley Park toinstall a new, and whatvillage officials hope is van-dalism-proof, fountain inZabrocki Plaza.

A fixture in the down-town area and just west ofthe Oak Park AvenueMetratrain station, the fountainwas toppled and heavilydamaged over Labor Dayweekend in 2016 when aman apparently attemptedto climb it.

That fountain — whichreplaced another one in thesame location that was top-pled in 2010 — had a largecircular base with a three-tiered center, with watercascading from theupper tolower tiers and into thebase.

In picking the newestfountain, village officialsopted foradesign theyhopewon’t be such a hands-onexperience for visitors tothe plaza.

Manufactured by a Cali-fornia company, Tournesol-Siteworks, thenewfountainalso has a large circularbase, but the water-filledpoolwill be ringed bywaterjets, with additional jets inthe center. It will be outfit-ted with multicoloredlights, and both the jets andlights can be controlled re-motely. The fountain costsabout $42,000, excludinginstallation, which is beingdone by a Wheeling com-pany, Fountain Technolo-gies.

The installation is ex-pected to be complete latethis week, according toJohnUrbanski, assistant di-rector of public works forthe village.While themate-rial looks like stone or con-crete, it is fiberglass, he said.

The village plans to holda dedication ceremony afterthe fountain is done, butdetails are still beingworked out, according toVillage Manager Dave Nie-meyer.

Surveillance camera vi-

TheTinleyParkmanwascharged with one count ofcriminal damage to proper-ty, and the village received$10,000 as part of a pleaagreement.

That fountain had costabout $38,000.

The fountain had beenused by homeless preven-tion agency Together WeCope for its annual Pluck aDuck fundraiser.

If you believe your only options are agonizing knee pain or surgery... You are WRONG!Thousands of Chicagoland Boomers and Seniors are nowgetting knee pain RELIEF, INSTEAD of knee replacement.

It turns out, the secret of enjoying the“golden years” is NOT simply having agiant nest egg for retirement Why?

Recent research showed that BabyBoomers and seniors who lead an activelifestyle during retirement, and continuedoing the things they truly enjoy, free ofpain, ARE happier, regardless of incomelevel or wealth.

And truth be told, people who don’thave their mobility to enjoy their favoriteactivities at that age, all the money in theworld won’t bring true happiness.

We know this because we hear peoplesay this over and over again at theJoint Relief Institute in Orland Park.Comments like this . . .

“I didn’t know how much LIFE andSLEEP I was missing because of myknee pain, until it went away with thiswonderful treatment.”

— George R.

You know how it is . . .You start to recognize your knee is

hurting, and you try pain medicines, braces,or different over-the-counter arthritissupplements. Soon enough, you realizethey either cause lots of side effects, orthey fail to live up to their promise of fast,long-lasting relief, and are not worth theprice of the bottle they come in.

And BECAUSE you’d preferNOT to go under the knife . . .And can’t afford to be put in bed for

several weeks, and because you knowpeople who still hurt EVEN after surgery . . .you give up, and learn to live with the pain.BUT, you miss out on things you enjoy doing,and lose your golden years one activity ata time.

With less activity, comes weight gain, anddepression . . . Yes, you can put up with thisache in your knee, but the cost of doingnothing about it is HUGE. You are not doingyourself a favor by “toughing it out.”

“Six months later, I found out theone thing between me and losing20 lbs, WAS my knee pain”

—Mary T.

“Every daywashard. I couldn’t enjoymy favorite activities anymore. Butthankfully, now I’m back in full form.I am doing yard work for the firsttime in years!” — Phil M.

What are my options if I don’twant to undergo surgery?

Today we live in an age with tremendoustechnology advances, and that’s whatJoint Relief Institute doctors use to putnew life and energy into failing kneejoints.

Using precise, advanced imaging, theygently place an all natural joint lubricantdirectly inside your knee to replacethe lost fluid that’s causing your pain.This treatment has proven to have a veryhigh rate of success.

However, it HAS to be done rightwith advanced imaging . . .

A recent study examined trained

doctors and surgeons who attemptedthese injections without using advancedimaging. Instead, they simply felt theknee with their fingers and BLINDLYdelivered the replacement fluid.

The study revealed that these doctorsmissed the target most of the time . . .In fact, 30% of the time, they didn’t even

place the treatment inside the joint.Yes THIRTY percent. It is not a typo.

Even after missing the target, they had noway of knowing they missed, because theyare not SEEING it with advanced imaging.

That means these patients went awaythinking they had received a life-changingtreatment, and, in fact, did not get anybenefit at all. Even worse, many of themwent on to have surgery they didn’t need.

How did Joint Relief Institutefind the Antidote to thisMISERABLE failure . . .

The doctors at the Joint Relief Instituteare trained in using cutting-edge lowdose motion digital imaging. These highlyskilled, Board Certified doctors are able tosee into the knee joint.They actually watchthe medicine, live, as it goes where itneeds to be. This technology is so precise,so advanced, and so forefront that it wasable to make a whole difference in Non-surgical treatments.

“We’ve had so many patients tell usthey RECEIVED treatments like Synviscor Orthovisc in the past, and it didn’twork. So they were considering surgery,and some even had surgery scheduled.Luckily, we were able to save many ofthose people from the knife.” Said Dr

Mike Hana at the Joint Relief Institute.

Joint Relief Institute’s proven accuracyand effective treatment is why people aretraveling hundreds of miles to get kneepain treatment from their Doctors.

Why did Knee treatments fromJoint Relief Institute become

the talk of the town?Many seniors walk out feeling better

than they have in years! So as you mightimagine, when their friends see themmove easier, walk further, sleep betterand are happier, they want it also.

Only days after this treatment, peopleusually notice a decrease in: Pain...Stiffness...Muscle weakness... Swelling...Locked joints...Reduced range of motion...and Cracking sounds.

Most patients who receive the treatmentare able to live pain free for up to 6months, and some even get relief for 3-5years with NO additional treatments.

How does the treatmenthelp relieve your joint pain...

It’s pretty simple, really. You see, whenyou’re young, you have a thick, fluidprotein inside your knee joints to lubricatethem as you move.

This fluid also acts as a cushion andshock absorber inside your knee. It’scalled synovial fluid, and it works muchlike the oil in a car’s engine to keep all theparts moving freely, without friction.

However, as you age, this fluid dries out,leaving your bones to painfully rub andgrind against each other with every step.And unfortunately, there’s no way for thejoint to make more.

After years of trusted service in moving

you everywhere you need to go, you

start to feel a subtle ache in your knees

with certain activities like kneeling

down, or getting out of the car. With

time, it becomes a constant ache. If left

untreated, it can keep you awake at night,

and hurt with every step.

The good news is, researchersdiscovered an almost identical, all naturallubricating fluid called Hyaluronic acid.It has been proven in numerous clinicalstudies to act as a natural lubricant inyour joints.

It’s FDA approved and is a perfect cushionand shock absorber for your joints. Onceit’s correctly placed inside your knee,it can make them feel just like new again,eliminate any rubbing and friction, and

make your joints glide smoothly.

Are there any side effects to thistreatment? Is the treatment painful?

After numbing the skin with a specialspray, Joint Relief’s imaging technologymakes this treatment virtually painless.And because you are getting a supplementfor a protein we are all born having, thereare NO known after effects.

That is right, this is a quick, naturallong-lasting, non-invasive, non-surgicaltreatment with NO known side effects...

Is it true this naturaltreatment costs NOTHING?...

Yes, more good news, besides the painrelief, is that because this non-surgicalprogram has already proven to helpthousands of seniors, Medicare and otherinsurance plans DO cover the full cost ofthe treatment.

So there is very likely NO COST to youfor this life-changing treatment.

do it right,” said Sargis. “Theirtimeline dictates our timeline.”

Right now, ChicagoWater Taxihas seven stops—Ogilvie/UnionStation,MichiganAvenue,LaSalle Street, theChicagoRiver-walk at Clark Street, NorthAve-nue, Chinatown and its recentlyadded location at ChicagoAve-nue. The boats run fromMarchintoDecember. A one-way pass is$5,which is steeper than a busride, but you can get bargains inbulk— a 10-rideweekday pass is$20 and a 31-day pass $60,mak-ing it an attractive alternative forsome commuters.

Shoreline Sightseeing, knownfor its architecture tours, also haswater taxis, though they cater totouristsmore than commuters,with a shorter daily schedule, acalendar limited to the summermonths and higher prices, at $6to $10 a trip for adults. Shorelinealso serves a different route,going along the river fromUnionStation/Willis Tower toMichi-ganAvenue andNavy Pier, or onLakeMichigan betweenNavyPier and theMuseumCampus. AShoreline representativewas notavailable for comment.

ChicagoWater Taxi servicestarted in 2007 andhas been onan “upward trajectory” sincethen, seeingmore than 400,000riders last year. It nowhas fourboats but plans to add a fifth in2019, Sargis said.

TheMetropolitan PlanningCouncil, a Chicago-based publicpolicy research group, issued areport in 2016 supporting “infill”water taxi stations on bothNorthand South branches of the river,and recommended integratingthe service intoVentra, transitsystemmaps, on-board an-nouncements, schedules andsystemplanning.

The council’s report also sug-gested looking at the longer-termfeasibility of expandingwatertaxi service south fromPingTomPark on theChicagoRiver and ontheCalumetRiver.

JoshEllis, vice president forthe council, said the dockswilllikely be built by developers, withWendella running operations outof them.

“The added residential andemployment density anticipatedat those siteswill help build acustomer base, andwhile thewater taximay not be the fastestoption in all situations, it’s a very,very pleasurable one, and thatwill only further the appeal ofthese new riverfront areas,” Ellissaid.

Ellis said the currentwatertaxi system is “pretty competi-tive” timewisewith the bus ortrain for some routes, particularlyUnion Station toChinatownor toMichiganAvenue.

Sargis said that his companyhas been influenced by the re-port, and its first two new loca-tionswill likely be on the SouthBranch of the river. “It looks liketherewill be a lot of tenants, a lotof activity on the SouthBranch,”he said.

The first new stop could goaroundHarrison Street at thenewdevelopment north of RiverCity in the next two or threeyears. “We’ll expand the stop asthe vacancy of the site goesdown,” Sargis said. The next stopcould be at The 78 developmentat Roosevelt Road, he said.

A development spokeswomanexpressed confidence that theboatswill be available. “In addi-tion to new roads, bike paths,walkways and aCTA station,residents and commuters nearThe 78will havewater taxis as aconvenient, fast and safemode oftransportation,” saidTricia VanHorn, a spokeswoman for Re-latedMidwest, which is devel-oping the 62-acre site.

Other stops could go on theriver’sNorthBranch at the

plannedLincolnYards devel-opment along both sides of theriver betweenNorth andWebsteravenues, at a possibleNorthBranch park and at theTribuneMedia-owned site at 700W.ChicagoAve., Sargis said. The 78,LincolnYards and theTribunesite are all candidates for a sec-ondAmazon headquarters.

Cupkovic saidR2 is interestedin a stop at theMorton Saltware-house onNorthElstonAvenueand theGoose Island boat yard,where a brewery is planned at934N.North Branch St.

ChicagoWater Taxi expandedits season last year, running boatsuntil Dec. 15 instead of stoppingafter theThanksgivingweekend.Sargis said the companywouldlike to go as late into the year aspossible. One of its boats isheated, and itwantsmore cli-mate-controlled boats in thefuture.

“We know inNewYork andBoston, commuters ride (on thewater) year-round,” said Sargis.He noted that theNorthBranchof the river tends not to freeze,because of barge traffic, so thecompanymight be able to go laterinto thewinter once it starts a“more robust”NorthBranchroute.

Sargis does not foreseemorestops on themain branch.

Regular ChicagoWater Taxicommuter Peter Scannell, 51, ofDownersGrove, said he thinksmore stopswould be popular.Hesaid he prefers the boat to playing“humandodgeball” on the roads.

“This is one of the best parts ofmy day,weather permitting,”

Scannell said during hiswatertaxi ride towork from theMetrastop. “I use this to get off thestreets.”

“It seems like a pretty civilizedway to commute towork,” saidBill Bunker, 53, of Edgebrook, onhisway to a businessmeeting andtrying awater taxi for the firsttime.

Sargis saidwhen it’s time toaddmore stops, ChicagoWaterTaxiwill workwith theChicagoDepartment of Transportation,theU.S. ArmyCorps of Engineersand theU.S. Coast Guard.

Road closingsahead in 2 suburbs

ChicagoRidge and SchillerPark residents: Get ready forsomemidsummer traffic hassles.

In northwest suburban Schil-ler Park, the Illinois Tollwaywillclose the ramps connecting Ir-ving ParkRoadwith the north-boundTri-State Tollway (Inter-state 294) startingMonday aspart of thewidening of centralI-294. The closurewill lastthrough the end of the year.

In southwest suburbanChi-cagoRidge, RidgelandAvenuewill be closed at the intersectionwithMetra’s SouthWest Serviceline startingWednesday andcontinuing to July 20whilecrews replace and resurface therailroad crossing.

Both the vehicular and pedes-trian crossings for Ridgelandwillbe closed for thewhole project.Passengers can get to the board-ing platforms forMetra’s ChicagoRidge station at the pedestrian

crossing in front of the depot andwest of Ridgeland.

Commuterswho use the park-ing lots south of the tracks shouldfollowposted detour signs,Metrasaid. Anyone driving to the sta-tion should allow for extra time.Parking is also available for adaily fee at theOakLawn andWorth stations.

TheMetra project includesremoval and replacement of rails,ties, ballast, rubber panels andasphalt, saidMetra spokeswomanMegThomas-Reile.Wiring alsoneeds to be replaced.

The Irving Park ramp closuresare needed to accommodatetraffic andworkers during con-struction on the tollway.

In order to continue to havefour lanes of traffic on I-294,driverswill be shifted to theoutside shoulders, thus eliminat-ing themerge lane for vehiclesentering the tollway during thisstage of construction, the IllinoisState TollHighwayAuthorityexplained. The toll authority isbeginningwork to repair andwiden I-294 to five lanes betweenBalmoral Avenue inRosemontandWolf Road in Franklin Park.

A posted detourwill directtraffic from Irving Park to useMannheimRoad and Interstate190 to access northbound I-294.

ObermannamedtoU.S. rails board

FormerMetraChairman andChicagoAld.MartinObermanhas been nominated to a seat ontheU.S. SurfaceTransportationBoard, a bipartisan agency thatoversees railroads.

TheWhiteHouse saidThurs-day that Oberman, aDemocrat, isnamed for the remainder of afive-year term expiringDec. 31,2023. Oberman is a lawyer inChicago and also serves on theboard of theChicagoMetropoli-tanAgency for Planning.

Oberman, 73, has been cred-itedwith helping to repairMe-tra’s reputation after years ofscandal at the commuter railroad.

Known as a progressivewhosupportedMayorHaroldWash-ington during the 1980sCouncilWars, Obermanwas electedMetra board chairman in 2014 tofill out the termof BradO’Hallo-ran,whohad resigned underheavy criticism.Obermanwasreplaced as chairman this pastfall by LakeCounty railroad con-

sultantNormanCarlson.TheRail CustomerCoalition,

an association of trade groupsrepresenting freight rail users,supports Oberman’s nomination.The SurfaceTransportationBoard,which oversees railroadrates,mergers and construction,has been operatingwith only twomembers instead of its full five,which has hampered operations,said Scott Jensen, spokesman forthe coalition.

“It hasn’t been able to domuch, and there have been a lotof rail issues out there, includingservice disruptions,” Jensen said.“We’re looking for boardmem-berswith experience and knowl-edge of rail issues, but not peoplefrom the rail industry itself.Mr.Oberman fits that bill.”

The Senate transportationcommittee approved the nomina-tion of two additional boardmembers, Patrick Fuchs andMichelle Schultz, bothRepubli-cans, this past spring. The com-mittee alsomust approveOber-man’s nomination, and all threemust be approved by the fullSenate.

If all three are confirmed, theywill join RepublicanAnnBege-man andDemocratDebMiller onthe board.

Rep. DanLipinski, aWesternSpringsDemocrat and Illinois’most seniormember on theHouse transportation committee,said he looks forward toworkingwithOberman to alleviate railcongestion and improve commut-er rail andAmtrak service.

“I urge the Senate to confirmhim as soon as possible,” Lipinskisaid in a statement.

Passengers board a Chicago Water Taxi last week along the ChicagoRiverwalk. The four-boat fleet had more than 400,000 riders last year.

A pilot may have saved lives bycrashing amedical helicopter in agrassy area along Interstate 57rather than onmajor highways ora train station nearby, officialssaid Sunday.

The four people on boardSaturday evening were injuredbut no one was hurt on theground when the Eurocopter 135air ambulance crashed on Chi-cago’s South Side. A passengerwhowas transported to ahospitalwas reported in critical condition,while the three crew memberswere in stable condition, said

Deputy District Chief WalterSchroeder of the Chicago FireDepartment. Updated conditionswere not available late Sunday.

The Federal Aviation Adminis-tration said the crash occurredaround 9:15 p.m. Saturday nearthe junction of three express-ways.

Schroeder said the pilot issueda mayday call before the crash,but the exact cause is not yetknown. He commended the pilotfor putting the aircraft down in agrassymedian away from traffic.

Deputy District Chief LyndaTurner said the pilotmaneuveredthe helicopter to land belly-downwith all rotors intact. The heli-copter was smoking but not onfire, she said.

“The pilot did an excellent jobof landing ahelicopter thatwas inan emergency situation,” Turner

said.The helicopter was headed

toward the Gary airport. It isunclear where the flight origi-nated.

The FAA and the NationalTransportation Safety Board areinvestigating.

Results of the FAA report willnot be made public until theinvestigation concludes, whichcould take up to amonth, spokes-man Tony Molinaro said. PeterKnudson, an NTSB spokesman,said that his agency’s investiga-tionwill be finished in one to twoweeks and that he expected thewreckage would be cleared lateSunday.

Three of the four on board hadalreadymade itoutof thehelicop-ter by the time firefighters ar-rived, Turner said.

People gathered along an over-

pass south of the scene lateSaturday, trying tocatchaglimpseof the fallen helicopter.

Among the onlookers wereNadira and Mike Crown, whosaid they were walking their dogin their Beverly neighborhoodwhen they heard sirens.

They returned home, turned

on the TV and learned of thecrash. They then drove to theoverpass.

The crash caused a snarl inChicago traffic, with northboundI-57 and southbound I-94 lanesremaining closed Sunday.

procedure; regenerative stem cell therapy.

Local Regenerative Medicine Center is now

offering painless stem cell injections for pain

and advanced procedures for arthritic and/

or degenerative conditions, expecially those

found in the knees, hips, should, neck and

lower back.

These remarkable treatments can repair tissue

in the body that has been damaged from

age, disease or degeneration. They do this

by pinpointing the impaired areas, removing

the swelling with powerful anti-inflammatory

properties and healing them by regenerating

new cells and tissue.

This innovative therapy is particularly effective

in treating such conditions as degenerative

arthritis, degenerative cartilage and ligaments,

bone spurs, degenerative joint disease,

bursitis, tendinitis, and especially Osteoarthritis

of the Knee.

According to the Local Regenerative Medicine

Center chief medical officer, patients can

experience a significant decrease in pain and

an improvement in range of motion within

weeks of treatment.

“We are so excited about the results we are

seeing with our patients. More Importantly,

think they would have tak-en my concerns more seri-ously,” King said.

Dr. ZeynepMadak-Erdo-gan, study co-author andassistant professor of nutri-tion at the University ofIllinois at Urbana-Cham-paign, agrees. “Residentialsegregation, coupled withits high correlation to lowsocioeconomic status, iskeeping certain communi-ties from having access to

essential resources whichare pertinent for optimalhealth,” she said.

Chicago’s segregation is-sues are well-known — arecent report by ApartmentList found it to be the13th-most-segregated met-ro area in theU.S.Data fromthe Center on Society andHealth found that thoseliving in less affluent neigh-borhoods have shorter lifeexpectancies — for exam-ple, 69 in segregatedWash-ington Park versus 82 in

adjacentHydePark.But not all cities are

created equal.Dr. Anne Marie Murphy,

executive director of theMetropolitan ChicagoBreast Cancer Task Force,points to New York City,which has relatively lowbreast cancer disparitiesand lower death rates forAfrican-American womenwith breast cancer.

“You can’t really tell methat African-Americanwomen in New York are

somehow biologically dif-ferent from African-Ameri-can women living in Chi-cago,” she said. “We knowthat these things are notmainly biological. … Thereis a segregation of resources(here) in addition to overallsegregation.”

The Chicago task force isa nonprofit that brings to-gether community leaders,advocates and health careproviders to address theracial disparity. More than50 health care institutions

throughout the city haveeither joined or expressedan intent to join.

Breast cancer oncologistDr. April Swoboda, an as-sistant professor of medi-cine at Rush UniversityMedical Center, a task forcepartner, agrees with Mur-phy, saying biological fac-tors play a role in breastcancer diagnoses despiterace or ethnicity, and thatenvironmental factors likeaccess to health care, stressand racism should not be

underestimated in themor-tality ratedisparitybetweenblack andwhitewomen.

“It’s very much a multi-factorial thing. There is somuchwork that needs to bedone.Weneed to tackle thisproblem from every angle,”Swoboda said.

Valerie Wilmington, alifelong South Sider wholives in West Pullman,thinks her neighborhood isa detriment to her care. The61-year-old had a mastec-tomy of her left breast in2017 and is undergoingdaily radiation treatmentsuntilmid-July.

She said that finding anearby treatment center —where she feels comfort-able with the services — isimpossible; insurance getsin the way of choosing afacility and physician shefeels is worthy of her care;and getting to and fromappointments in a reason-able time frame is cumber-some.

She said that althoughher radiation treatmenttakes 15 minutes, the as-signed transportation toand from the health facilitytakes hours because of thenumber of peoplewhohaveto be picked up anddropped off en route. Shesaid it’s not atypical for herto leave at 9 a.m. and not behome until around 2 or 3p.m.

“When you’re diagnosedwith something so seriousas cancer, it should not bewhere you don’t have theoption to go to whateverdoctor or hospital that ismost comfortable for you,because you don’t have theright type of insurance. Youdon’t have any options, soyou have to go where theycan take you — that’s al-ready depressing,” she said.“You have to fight twice ashard to get the help thatshould be right there foryou.”

The task force helpedWilmington get to and fromappointments and findservices covered by her in-surance, but the side effectsof the treatments (neuropa-thy in her hands and feet)are having an impact on herability to work at a foodtraining facility on theWestSide.

Since her diagnosis, bothher sister and niece (amother of four in her 30s)have been diagnosed withovarian cancer. They’reboth South Siders as well;Wilmington is serving as aguide through their cancerjourneys.

“Where are the goodplaceshereontheFarSouthSide?Wheredoyougo?Youdon’t have a lot of options.Cancer is nothing new. Sowhere are the centers?” shesaid. “Everyone is goingwhere they can, where theycanget to for treatment, andyou don’t know if you’regetting the best care or notbecause we don’t haveenough options to tell usone is better than anotheror one specializes in thistype of cancer. … We don’thave those types of things.”

According to task forcedata, of the 12 AmericanCollege of Surgeons Aca-demic ComprehensiveCancer Programs in Chi-cago, five are on the NorthSide, three are in the IllinoisMedical District, one is inMaywood and only threeare south of the Loop

Dr. David Ansell, seniorvice president for commu-nity health equity at RushUniversity Medical Centerand author of “The DeathGap: How Inequality Kills,”says that where you live“somewhat dictates whenyou die and is independentfromyour beliefs, behaviorsand biology.”He cites struc-tural racism as the rootcause of residential segre-gation and subsequenthealth disparities, such asproximity to a good-qualitymammogram.

Ansell said everythingfrom redlining, varying in-surance rates by race, aconcentration of affluentcommunities with no low-income housing (limitingmobility for those lookingfor better opportunities)and a lack of quality healthcare facilities in predomi-nantly black areas — allcontribute to the “spiderweb of reasons” the studyrings true.

Madak-Erdogan said sheand co-author U. of I. grad-uate student Brandi Smithhope the study captures theattention of policymakersand urban planners, as well

Illinois legislators passedthe Breast Cancer Excel-lence in Survival and Treat-mentAct in2015,whichwillestablish a standard level ofbreastcare foreverywomanin Illinois. But the law hasyet to go into effect, saidstate Rep. Robyn Gabel,D-Evanston, who is work-ing to get it implementedduring the next legislativesession.

U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly,D-Ill., chairwoman of theCongressional Black Cau-cus Health Braintrust, saysshe andher colleagues fromother communities of colorkeeppushing for theHealthEquity and AccountabilityAct to reduce racial dispari-

tieswhenitcomestohealth,but it, too, has yet to pass.

“It’s more of a compre-hensive bill to improvehealth care access and de-liveries to all communities,but especially to communi-ties of color,”Kelly said. “It’sbeen very difficult to getcertain bills passed. ... We’lljust keep introducing it un-tilwe get it done.”

In addition to legislation,Ansell says building andimproving health care fa-cilities in low-incomeneighborhoods should be

part of the solution.“It isn’t about race, it’s

about who is getting ex-posed in what neighbor-hood, andbymoving it froma biological problem to astructural problem and ty-ing it to quality of care, wewere able to demonstrateimproved quality of care,”Ansell said. The task forcesays it has reduced breastcancer disparities by 35percent between the initialstudy in 2006 and 2014 byenhancing care in existingneighborhood health insti-tutions.

“It’s solvable,” Ansellsaid. “Butunlessweactuallyget to neighborhood re-design and change and ad-dress the historical neigh-borhood segregation thathas resulted from racism inthe United States, we’ll ne-ver get out of thismess.”

NATION&WORLD

If Secretary of StateMike Pompeo’s visit toNorth Korea on Friday andSaturday was designed toease worries about theprogress on denucleariza-tion talks between Wash-ington and Pyongyang, itseems to have failed.

Just hours after Pompeoleft the North Korean capi-tal and described the nego-tiations as “productive,”North Korea’s ForeignMinistry released ascathing statement thatcast the entire endeavor indoubt.

“The U.S. side came uponly with its unilateral andgangster-like demand fordenuclearization,” thestatement said, adding thatthe American attitudetoward the talks had been“regrettable.”

But North Korea’s state-ment itself was notable forfar more than just its nega-tive tone. Running morethan 1,200 words in anofficial English-languagetranslation released by thestate-run Korea CentralNews Agency, it may offerthe most comprehensivesignal yet of how Pyong-yang views the possibilityof abandoning its nuclearweapons.

This vision will notshock seasoned North Ko-rea-watchers, who say thatPyongyang has been con-sistent on the nuclear issueover the years. But it maycome as a surprise to thosewho heard President Don-ald Trump when he saidthat there was “no longer anuclear threat from NorthKorea” a day after he metwith North Korean leaderKim Jong Un for the firsttime in Singapore.

Pyongyang is now em-phasizing that it views thebrief, 400-word agreementreached at that summit as

just the very beginning oftalks, not a promise tounilaterally disarm.

“They undoubtedly seethis as the first stage in aphase-by-phase, step-by-step simultaneous ap-proach leading to denucle-arization,” said Joel Wit, aformer State Departmentofficial who helped negoti-ate a 1994 nuclear agree-mentwithNorthKorea.

Indeed, the wording ofNorth Korea’s statementmay also suggest that itviewed the four items intheTrump-Kimagreementas a schedule. Denuclear-ization was the third itemon the list. The first itemwas to establish “new U.S.-DPRK relations,” followedby efforts to build “a lastingand stable peace regime ontheKoreanPeninsula.”

But the North KoreanForeign Ministry com-plained Saturday that Pom-peo’s teamhad“nevermen-tioned the issue of estab-lishing a peace regime on

the Korean peninsula”while they were in Pyong-yang. Instead, the state-ment said, the UnitedStates had continued itscalls for “CVID”: complete,verifiable and irreversibledenuclearization. Thatterm has been repeatedlyused by Pompeo and otherU.S. officials to describeWashington’s aims..

The United States maynot ultimately agree toNorth Korea’s goals, butWit and others said thattalks should continue. Sug-gesting that the UnitedStates needed to find aspecial negotiator to meetcontinuously with theNorth Koreans, Wit saidthat it was “a fantasy tothink that this can be doneovernight” but that it couldbe done eventually.

Right now, North Koreaappears to believe so too.

“We still cherish ourgood faith in PresidentTrump,” the statementread.

Pompeo slams ‘gangster’ claimTOKYO—Secretary of StateMike Pompeo shot back

againstNorthKorea on Sunday, saying the regime’s criti-cism thatU.S. negotiators acted in a “gangster-like”wayduring his two-day visit to Pyongyangwas unfounded.

“If those requestswere gangster-like, theworld is agangster,” said Pompeo, noting thatU.S. demands forNorthKorea to denuclearizewere supported by a consen-sus at theU.N. SecurityCouncil.

The secretary of state also said that despite a criticalstatement released byNorthKorea’s ForeignMinistry onSaturday night, he thought the two sides hadmade prog-ress.

WASHINGTON—Law-yers for President DonaldTrump unleashed a blister-ing attack on former FBIDirector James Comey in aconfidential memo lastyear to the special counsel,casting him as “Machiavel-lian,” dishonest and “un-boundedby lawandregula-tion” as they sought toundermine the credibilityofa lawenforcement leadertheyseeasacriticalwitnessagainst the president.

The letter, obtained byThe Associated Press,underscores the intense ef-fort by Trump’s legal teamover the last year to tarnishComey’s reputation and pitthe president’s wordagainst that of the formerFBI director. Comey’s fir-ing in May 2017 helped setin motion the appointmentof special counsel RobertMueller, and one-on-oneconversations with Trumpthat Comey documented ina series of memos helpedform the basis of Mueller’sinquiry into whether thepresident obstructed jus-tice.

The June 27, 2017, letterwas written by Marc Ka-sowitz, then thepresident’slead lawyer, asMueller andhis team were in the earlystages of their investigationinto Trump associates andas they had begun examin-ing whether the president,by firing Comey, hadsought to stymie an FBIinvestigation into theTrump campaign’s ties toRussia. The White Houseinitially pointed as justifi-cation for the firing to aJustice Department memothat faulted Comey for hishandling of the HillaryClintonemail investigation,though Trump later saidthat “thisRussia thing”wason his mindwhen hemadethemove.

It’s not clear to whatextent, if any, the attacks onComey have resonatedwithMueller’s team,which

is broadly investigatingRussian meddling in the2016 presidential electionand continues to seek aninterview with the presi-dent to assess whether hehad a corrupt intent whenhe fired the FBI director.And even in the face ofwithering criticism,Comeyhas been largely consistentin his telling of his interac-tions with Trump in hismemos, his book and pressinterviews he’s given inrecentmonths.

The 13-page documentprovides awindow into theformationofa legal strategythatremains inusetodaybyTrump’s lawyers — to dis-credit Comey’s value as awitness. It could have newrelevance in the aftermathof a Justice Departmentinspector general reportthat criticized Comey fordeparting from protocol intheClinton investigation.

The letter aims to iden-tify for Mueller what thelawyers believe are griev-ous errors both in howComey handled the Clin-ton investigation and in hisearly, and limited, encoun-ters with the president. Init, Kasowitz argues thatComeycannotbe trustedasa witness because he re-peatedly embellished histestimony before Congress,put his “own personal in-terests and emotions”above FBI protocol and lefta cloud of undue suspicionabove the president’s head.

“Over the last year, Mr.Comey has engaged in apattern of calculated uni-lateral action unboundedby governing law, regula-tion and practice, andplainly motivated by per-sonal and political self-interest,” wrote Kasowitz,who has since steppedaside as lead lawyer.

Lawyers for Comey de-clined to comment Sat-urday, as did Peter Carr, aspokesman for Mueller.Kasowitz and Trump law-yer Jay Sekulow did notreturn messages, and for-mer Trump attorney JohnDowd declined to com-ment.

The document, unlikeother correspondence be-tween Trump lawyers andMueller’s team, does notdwell on questions ofTrump’s guilt or innocence.Instead, it casts in a nega-tive light actions thatComey has said he care-fully reasoned and that hehas vigorously defended inhis book and interviews.Those include the decisionto announce without Jus-tice Department consulta-tion the conclusion of theClinton investigation, andthe decision months laterto brief Trump, then thepresident-elect, on sala-cious allegations about himin a dossier.

“Mr. Comey continuedhis Machiavellian behaviorafter President Trump waselected,”Kasowitzwrote.

WASHINGTON—Presi-dent Donald Trump re-turned to Washington onSunday after a weekendweighing the strengths andweakness of four leadingcandidates for the SupremeCourt athisNewJerseygolfclub, mulling the likely re-sponse of key senators andhis core supporters to eachprospect, according toWhite House officials andTrump advisers involved inthe discussions.

Trump — over rounds ofgolf with friends, mealswith family, and a flurry ofphone calls and meetingswith aides — remained coyabout his final decision,which will be announcedMonday, but did offer cluesabout how he sees the fourfederal judges atop hisshortlist: Brett Kavanaugh,Thomas Hardiman, Ray-mond Kethledge and AmyConeyBarrett.

Hardiman, a runner-upwhen Trump chose NeilGorsuch as his high courtnominee last year, receiveda wave of new attention inthe weekend discussions,according to two peoplebriefed on the matter butnot authorized to speakpublicly about it.

But White House offi-cials cautioned Sunday thatTrump’s informal conversa-tionswith golf partners andfriends did not necessarilyhint at whom he wouldultimately select for thecourt, a decision that could

tilt thebench to the right fordecades.

Still, Trump has re-counted how close he cameto selectingHardiman, whowas recommended by thepresident’s sister and some-timeconfidante, retired fed-eral judge MaryanneTrump Barry. She servedwith the Pennsylvania-basedHardiman on theU.S.Court ofAppeals for the 3rdCircuit.

And Hardiman’s work-ing-class roots — his timedriving a taxi during hisdays as a law student atGeorgetown University —have been cited as an attrib-ute inside theWhiteHouse,along with his conservativerulings. His boosters, sens-ing this weekend thatHardiman could be ascend-ing on the president’s list,

have been busy makingphone calls to friends inTrump’s inner circle.

“He’s got a story that’scompellingbeyond the taxi-cab,” former senator RickSantorum, R-Pa., a friend ofHardiman’s, said inaninter-view. “I’m talking to peopleabout his service workwithhis church in West Virginiaand about how he hashelped people seeking asy-lum from communist coun-tries. He speaks Spanish.His wife comes from aDemocratic family, and heknows how to engage withall kind of people, not justRepublicans.”

Santorum added thatpicking Hardiman couldhelpTrumpbolster his sup-port in Pennsylvania, a cru-cial state in his electoralcollege victory in2016 anda

2020battleground.Previously, the three

front-runners for the nomi-nation have been seen asKavanaugh, who serves ontheU.S.CourtofAppeals forthe District of ColumbiaCircuit; Michigan’s Keth-ledge, from the 6th Circuit;and Indiana’s Barrett, fromthe 7th Circuit. All threecandidates remain in con-tention, but Trump has re-vived talk of Hardiman be-cause he has not felt com-pelled, yet, to tap one ofthem.

Senate Majority LeaderMitch McConnell, R-Ky.,whowill lead the confirma-tion fight on Capitol Hill,spoke with Trump byphone on Friday, accordingto two Republican officialsbriefed on the exchange.

The officials under-

scored that McConnell didnot push any choice on thepresident. But, the officialssaid, McConnell did notethat Hardiman and Keth-ledge could fare well in theSenate because their repu-tations and records werenot as politically charged asothers on the president’sshortlist of nominees.

Trump is searching for areplacement for Justice An-thonyKennedy.

Kennedy’s retirementhas given conservativestheir first hope in decadesfor a court thatwould strikedown Roe v. Wade, thelandmark decision that le-galized abortion. But, at themoment, it is liberals whoare focusedonmakingthisagalvanizing issue.

In an interview on NBCNews’s “Meet the Press,”when asked about Roe, Sen.Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said that“these judges, whichever

one’s nominated, shouldfollow the Ginsburg strate-gy,whichhasbeen:nohints,no foretelling of howthey’re going to determine”controversial cases.

That was a reference toJustice Ruth Bader Gins-burg, who said during her1993 hearing that it wouldbe “wrong for me to say orpreview in this legislativechamber how I would castmy vote.”

During the 2016 cam-paign, and in subsequentinterviews, Trump repeat-edly assured conservativevoters that his nomineeswouldscrap the45-year-olddecisionthat legalizedabor-tion across the country. In2016, he told Fox News’Chris Wallace that Roewould be overturned if hegot to appoint “two orthree” justices, “because Iam putting pro-life justiceson the court.”

But PresidentDonaldTrumphas every confidence thatonMonday night, the nation’s attentionwill be rightwherehewants it.

Aftermore than aweek of pitched speculation, Trumpwill go onprime-time television to reveal his choice to fillthe SupremeCourt seat vacated by retiring JusticeAn-thonyKennedy, selecting a conservative designed to rallyRepublican voters in amidtermelection year. Andwiththat, the optics-obsessed presidentwill be in his comfortzone— taking center stage in amassive show.

Trump’s upcoming “Supreme” show is the latest exam-ple of Trump’s push to remake the federal benchwithyoung conservative judges, a crusade he believeswill ener-gizeGOPvoters concerned about the state of the judiciary.

COLORADO CITY, Ariz.— The religious leader pre-dicted many an apocalypseinhis timeas theheadof theFundamentalist Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-daySaints. There was supposedto be one in 2005. Then itwas delayed until 2012.Scratch that—2016.

Each time, the destruc-tion was to be the same.Earthquakes. Fire. Swift anddramatic—in the lateryearsspringingWarrenJeffs fromprison and returning him toColorado City, where hisbreakaway polygamist flockawaited.

But Jeffs, convicted in2011 of sexually assaultingtwogirls, is still behindbars,serving a life sentence. Anda different kind of apoca-lypse is slowly descendingon the town, fueled by hops,barley and grains.

Edge of theWorld Brew-ery and Pub opened inMarch on Center Street — adevelopment unthinkableeven a year ago. Lastmonth,a vape shop opened acrossthe street from the townhall.

In November, there willbe four seats open on theseven-member ColoradoCityTownCouncil.Of the 11candidates running, none isFLDS, assuring the sect nolongerwill hold amajority.

Unprecedented change iscoming to Colorado City,and one need not be aprophet to see evidence of ittaking hold.

None of this pleases Jo-seph Allred, a member ofthe current council and anFLSD member who is notup for re-election.

“When you bring in a lotof things America likes —particularly the vices likealcohol and tobacco andthat sort of thing— you losea lot of the enjoyments ofthe simple things,” he said.“I like the quiet of a small

town. I like peace. I like nocrime. I like neighbors help-ing neighbors. I think bring-ing a lot of those things inmakes a small town lose itsvalues.”

Freeman Barlow, who isrunning for oneof the coun-cil seats, doesn’t see it thatway at all.

A former member of thesect, he tells an all-too-familiar story about beingexiled by Jeffs and havingthe leader turn Barlow’sown children against him.Under Jeffs, “apostates”were driven from the com-munity through shunning.Barlow returned to townafter Jeffs and his brotherLylewere lockedup.Barlowleft the FLDS church.

Colorado City, he said, isready to rejoin the worldand dump the values es-poused in the Jeffs era.

But shaking the townfrom its past is proving to bea slowprocess.

Many roads through thetown of about 5,000 remainunpaved after years of ne-glect. The gas station haspumps, but no fuel supply—itwascutoffwhenJeffswasrunning things. Many

houses remain hidden be-hind tall walls built at Jeffs’behest to keep residentsfrom prying eyes. A pile ofcargo trailers lies haphaz-ardly along Highway 389 —a two-lane road that takespeople west to St. George,Utah, and east to LakePowell.

Hildale, Utah, the townacross the creek and theArizona border, has beenmoving faster at remakingitself after electing a major-ity non-FLDS city councilearlier this year.

Mayor Donia Jessop saidthe towns, which shareservices such as water andelectricity, are known col-lectively as Short Creek.Because the sect still con-trols Colorado City, Jessopsaid, it has been difficult tomake changes.

“They’re not interested,”Jessopsaidwhile sippingona light beer at the breweryon a late Friday afternoon.

Shehasbeena force sincewinning election last year,immediately opening com-munication with the largestland owner in the ShortCreek area, the United Ef-fort PlanTrust,which is run

by seven boardmembers.Together, the town and

the trust began identifyinghomeowners who were farbehind in paying propertytaxes and homes that hadbeen abandoned.

Jeff Barlow, executive di-rector of the trust, said thattax revenue would be cru-cial to future funding ofcapital improvement proj-ects in both towns. JeffBarlow’s father isacousin toFreemanBarlow.

The trust was formed inthe 1940s as a way for thetowns to essentially sharethe land owned by thechurch, Jeff Barlow said.When Jeffs took over ashead of the FDLS in 2002,he took control of the trustand asserted his power bykickingpeopleoutofhouseshe said they did not own.

Several former FLDSmembers sued the churchin 2004, and Jeffs sub-sequently lost control of thetrust. During their investi-gation, authorities uncov-ered abuses, scams andfraud that permeated thechurch.

Barlow said that thenumber of “apostates” re-

turning are sizable and thatmosthave settled inHildale,given the secular nature ofits city government. Gettingcooperation fromofficials inColorado City, where halfthe population is thought tostill belong to the sect, hasbeen impossible, he said.

But the trust has movedaheadwhere it can.

The main park in towngleams with bright greengrass and new playgroundequipment. A train for chil-dren that circles the park isbeing fixed, and crewsworked in the hot afternoonsun straighteningand layingdown the tracks.

The Short Creek area sitsin a canyon surrounded bydramatic red rock hills thatoffer hiking trails leadinginto Zion National Park.Last year, a high-end camp-ingsiteopenedat thebaseofseveral trails that provideviews of the Virgin River. Abed-and-breakfast openedin the Hildale compoundthat had been constructedfor Jeffs upon his “release”fromprison.

But it’s the brewery thatseems to be driving most ofthe talk about Short Creek’s

future.Gwen Darger, one of the

owners of Edge of theWorld, said she knew itwould be a statement toopen a bar here. A ColoradoCity native, she had nobusiness or brewing experi-ence but believed the regionwas ripe for commerce.

She got Nick Dockstader,a local brewer, to beginmakingastout, IPAandpaleale before Colorado Citywas able to deny the appli-cation tomake and sell beer.Darger said they did an endrun by going directly to theArizona Department of Li-quor Licenses and Controlfor approval. The state ap-proved it inAugust.

“Itwas an avenueopen tous, so we took it,” Dargersaid. “And to be fair, the cityhasn’t givenus any trouble.”

The brewery wasn’t surewhat kind of crowds itwould get. Darger said theystartedoffbyofferingArizo-na-based beers and gradu-ally began to rotate in theirown brews on tap. It’s still asmall operation, thoughthey would like to expandwith outdoor patio seatingandmaybe even livemusic.

On a recent late after-noon, as the sun filteredthrough the brewery’s win-dows and trees cast longshadows on the brick fa-cade, the placewas full.

Sitting at thebardrinkinga Mudshark Morning BuzzStout, Derrick Holm lookedaround as large-screen tele-visions showed sports high-lights.

Holm, 24, grew up inColorado City under Jeffs.He said he’s sometimes be-wilderedbywhat ishappen-ing in the town that hadbeen in the dark for so long.

“It’s still hard to believe,”he said. “The religion keptus from getting bigger andfrom socializing with eachother. This has become agreat place to finally meetpeople and just talk andhang out.”

He paused, both armsresting on the bar. Then hesmiled. “It feels great.”

Ariz. city once runby a religious sectrevamps its imageBy DavidMonteroLos Angeles Times

President DonaldTrump is still weighingwhether to agree to aninterview in special coun-sel Robert Mueller’s inves-tigation but there’s concernabout what he sees as acorrupt and tainted probe,Trump’s lead attorney said.

Trump’s lawyers areclose to making a determi-nation, but a decision hasbeen put off asmore detailsemerge about “bias” on thepart of investigators, RudyGiuliani said on one ofthree television appear-ances Sunday.

“How could you expectus to justwalk upour clientlike a lamb going to theslaughter? We wouldn’t belawyers if we would dothat,” Giuliani said onABC’s “This Week,” strik-ing a similar tone to com-ments he’s made repeat-edly since he joinedTrump’s team inApril.

He called it “the mostcorrupt investigationIhaveever seen,” taking his cuefrom the president. On Sat-urday, Trump tweetedabout “the Rigged Witch

Hunt and the ‘Special’Counsel.”

On NBC’s “Meet thePress,” Giuliani said hedoesn’t think Mueller, aformer FBI director, is per-sonally biased or corruptbut that “he’s surroundedby biased people” he failedto vet properly, includingFBI agent Peter Strzok,whose anti-Trump text ex-changes from 2016 fed Re-publican allegations of bias.

Mueller removed Strzokfromhis teamassoonas thetexts were discovered, andMueller is a Republican.

ButGiuliani saidonNBCthat Trump’s lawyerswouldn’t recommend aninterview for the president“unless they can satisfy usthat there is some basis forthis investigation.”

“It’s our firm belief, andwe think nothing contra-dicts this, the president didnothing wrong,” Giulianisaid.

Giuliani also said that hehas counseled the presi-dent against granting a par-don to his longtime fixerMichael Cohen.

“I have advised the pres-ident, which he under-stands: no discussion ofpardons,” Giuliani said inan appearance on ABCNews’ “ThisWeek.” But heseemed not to rule out thatthepresidentmight change

hismind.“You can’t abridge your

power todo it.That’s some-thing you can decide downthe road, one way or theother,” Giuliani said.

Cohen, Trump’s formerattorney who once fa-mously said that he wasprepared to “take a bullet”and “do anything” to pro-tect him, is under intensify-ing scrutiny from federalprosecutors in Manhattan.They are investigating hisbusiness practices, as is theteam led byMueller,who isinvestigating matters con-nected to Cohen as part ofthe broader probe of Rus-sian election interferenceand possible obstruction ofjustice by the president.

While Giuliani said hehad advised Trump againstpardoning Cohen, he alsoargued that to rule out apardon “wouldn’t be fair tothe president, wouldn’t befair to Cohen, wouldn’t befair to future presidents.But the fact is there’s noreason for a pardon rightnow.”

On CNN’s “State of theUnion,” Giuliani said that ifMueller issued a subpoenato compel Trump to testify,his legal team believes itcould be quashed.

The Washington Post con-tributed.

“How could you expect us to just walk up our client like a lamb going to the slaughter?”Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

been learning to dive onlysince July 2, when the firstsearchers found them.

Caverescueexpertscon-sider an underwater es-cape to be a last resort,especially with people un-trained in diving.

The death Friday of aformer Thai navy SEAL,Saman Gunan, under-scored the risks. The diver,the first fatality of therescue effort, was workingin a volunteer capacity anddied on a mission to placeoxygen canisters along theroute.

But Narongsak said ear-lier that mild weather andfalling water levels in re-cent days had created opti-mal conditions for anunderwater evacuation.Thoseconditionswon’t lastif the rain resumes, he said.

After the four boys wereremoved from the cave,heavy rain started falling.

Authoritieshave said themonsoons could cause wa-ter to rise in the cave. Thatalong with dwindling oxy-gen levels, added to theurgency of getting the teamout. Earlier efforts to pumpwater out of the cave havebeen set back by heavydownpours.

Narongsak said Saturdaythat experts told him newrain could shrink the un-flooded space where theboys are sheltering to 108square feet.

The next phase of theoperation would startMonday after rescue teamsreplenish the supply ofoxygen tanks along theroute toensure thesafetyofthe journey, which takesseveral hours.

On Sunday night, Thainavy SEALs posted a cele-bratory note on their Face-book page, saying: “Havesweet dreams everyone.Good night.Hooyah.”

The boys and theircoach, whose team isknown as the Wild Boars,became stranded whenthey were exploring thecave after a practice gameJune 23.

Monsoon flooding cutoff their escape route andprevented rescuers fromfinding them for almost 10days.

The ordeal has rivetedThailand and captured theworld’s attention. Thesearch and rescue opera-tion has involved dozens ofinternational experts andrescuers, including a U.S.military team.

Elon Musk’s Space Xrocket company plans tosend a “tiny kid-sized sub-marine” in case it’s needed.A spokesman for Musk’sBoring Co. tunneling unit,which has four engineersat the cave, said in an emailSunday that Thai officialshad requested the deviceand that divers have deter-mined it could potentiallyhelp the children throughnarrow, flooded cavepassageways.

Musk said on Twitterthe aluminum sub wouldbe testeduntil Sundaymid-afternoon California timebefore being placed on a17-hour flight to Thailand.Heposted avideoof adivertesting the device in a pool.

President DonaldTrump tweeted Sunday:“The U.S. is working veryclosely with the Govern-ment of Thailand to helpget all of the childrenout ofthe cave and to safety. Verybraveand talentedpeople!”

To ensure a clear pathfor getting evacuees to thehospital and to safeguardtheir privacy, authoritiesordered themedia to moveaway from the cave beforethe boys came out.

The boys sounded calmand reassuring in hand-written notes to their fam-ilies that were made publicSaturday.

The notes were sent outwith divers who made an11-hour, back-and-forthjourney.

One of the boys, identi-fied as Tun, wrote: “Momand Dad, please don’tworry, I am fine. I’ve toldYod to get ready to takemeout for fried chicken. Withlove.”

One particularly touch-ing note from another boysaid: “I’m doing fine, butthe air is a little cold, butdon’t worry. Although,don’t forget to set up mybirthday party.”

In a letter of his own,coach Ekapol Chantha-wong apologized to theboys’ parents for the or-deal.

“To the parents of all thekids, right now the kids areall fine, the crew are takinggood care. I promise I willcare for the kids as best aspossible. I want to saythanks for all the supportand I want to apologize tothe parents,” hewrote.

LONDON — A womanwho was poisoned by amilitary-grade nerve agentin southwest England diedSunday, eight days afterpolice think she touched acontaminated item that hasnot been found.

London’s MetropolitanPolice force said the casehad become a homicideinvestigation with 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess’s deathat a hospital in Salisbury.She and her boyfriend,Charlie Rowley, 45, wereadmitted June 30 after fall-ing ill a few miles away inAmesbury.

Rowley remains in criti-cal condition.

Tests at Britain’s defenseresearch laboratoryshowed the pair was ex-posed to Novichok, thesame type of nerve agentused to poison a formerRussian spy and his daugh-ter in Salisbury in March.Police suspect Rowley andSturgess handled a dis-carded item from the firstattack, though they havenot determined for certainthat the two cases arelinked.

Britain blames the Rus-sian state for the attack onSergei Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter — anallegationMoscowstronglydenies.

Prime Minister TheresaMay said shewas “appalledand shocked” by Sturgess’sdeath.

Assistant CommissionerNeil Basu, Britain’s topanti-terrorism police offi-cer, said thedeath“hasonlyserved to strengthen ourresolve” to find those re-sponsible.

More than 100 detect-ives have been workingalongside local officers tolocate a small vial or othercontainer thought to haveheld the nerve agent thatsickened the two. Officialssay the search and cleanupoperation will take weeksor evenmonths.

SouthTexas residents receivenotices about borderwall

ROMA, Texas — Moreproperty owners along theU.S.-Mexico border inSouth Texas have saidthey’ve received noticesfrom the federal govern-ment asking to reviewtheir land, which could beused for border wall con-struction.

KENS-TV reports resi-dents in the town ofEscobares, includingMay-or Noel Escobar, receivedletters from the ArmyCorps of Engineers andU.S. Customs and Border

Protection a few weeksago to get their consent tosurvey their land.

Rio Grande City SchoolDistrict board presidentDaniel Garcia said thedistrict got a letter in Mayabout district propertythat’s beingconsidered for“tactical infrastructure,such as a borderwall.”

In blow toMay,U.K.’s topBrexitofficial quits government

LONDON — Britain’smost senior official incharge of negotiating thecountry’s exit from theEuropean Union resignedSunday, accusing PrimeMinister Theresa May ofundermining Brexit withher plan to keep closetrade tieswith the bloc.

Brexit Secretary DavidDavis quit just two daysafter May announced shehad finally united herquarrelsome governmentbehindaplan for adivorce

dealwith theEU.In a blow to the prime

minister,Davis toldMay ina letter that the govern-ment’s proposals for closetrade and customs ties“will leave us in at best aweak negotiating position,and possibly an inescap-able one.”

Davis’ late-night resig-nation undermined May’salready fragile govern-ment, which has lost sev-eral ministers in the pastyear.

Contradictoryorders issuedaboutBrazilex-president

SAO PAULO — Brazil-ian judges issued contra-dictory orders Sunday onwhether former PresidentLuiz Inacio Lula da Silvashould remain jailed or bereleased.

Amid the dramaticback-and-forth, it was un-clear if da Silva wouldwalk free.

The latest decision wasfrom Judge RogerioFavreto of the Fourth Fed-eral Regional Tribunal,who said Sunday after-noon that da Silvamust befreedwithin the hour.

More than two hoursafter that decision becamepublic, da Silva was stillbehind bars serving hissentence for a corruptionconviction.

Da Silva’s lawyers haveargued that he should nothave been jailed until allhis appeals were ex-hausted, and they havefiled several petitions forhis release that have so farbeen rejected.

The concept of free speech is easy todefendwhen thewords are agreeable. Thetest comeswhen someone expresses viewsthat are unpopular or inflammatory. Is thecontroversial or contemptible speaker orwriter also given space in themarketplaceof ideas?Or is he or she shut down?That’showyou knowwhether freedomof speechis respected.

AtMarquetteUniversity inMilwaukee,administrators failed that test as it relatesto protecting a professor’s academic free-dom. But happily, theWisconsin SupremeCourt onFriday corrected the school’serror by sidingwith the professor, JohnMcAdams, in deference to free expression.In the era of “safe spaces” and “triggerwarnings” on college campuses, inwhichopinions deemed to be disagreeable areoften banished, this ruling comes as abreath of fresh air.

The court said Marquette was wrongto suspendMcAdams for criticizing agraduate student instructor by name in aposting onhis conservative blog.Howeverangry or upset other facultymemberswere

aboutMcAdams’ attack on the instructor,the professor should not have been sus-pended because his contractwith the uni-versity guaranteed academic freedom.Thecourt ruled 4-2 that he should be reinstat-ed.

This case isn’t about hate speech or aNazimarch, nor— to be clear— is it a FirstAmendment issue,whichwould involvegovernment action. This is about free ex-pression on a college campus,where theexchange of ideas should be treasured.

Marquette is a private Jesuit university.McAdams, a tenured political science prof,authors a blog called theMarquetteWar-rior. The post that got him in trouble,writ-ten in 2014, told of a student in a philoso-phy classwho tangledwith the instructorover gaymarriage and gay adoption.“Everybody” favors gay rights, the instruc-tor declared, but one student followedupafter classwith a dissenting opinion. Theinstructor deemed that viewpoint intoler-ant and invited the student to drop theclass.

What happenednext formed the basisforMarquette’s decision to punishMc-

Adams. Because he identified the instruc-tor in a post that gotmedia attention, theinstructorwas attacked by others online. Afaculty committee recommendedMc-Adams be suspended for failing tomeetfaculty standards. If that benchmarksounds fuzzy, considerwhat several pro-fessors alleged in an open letter: “Mc-Adamshas betrayed his role as a facultymember by pitting one set of studentsagainst another, by claiming the protectionof academic freedomwhile trying to denyit to others, and by exploiting current polit-ical issues to promote his personal agenda.”

There’s a lot of opinion expressed in thatsentence,which could be answered bysayingMcAdamswas thewrongedparty:Hewas punished for highlighting howconservative perspectives are quashed ona liberal campus. As hewrote in his offend-ing post: “Howmany students, especiallyin politically correct departments likePhilosophy, simply stifle their disagree-ment, orworse yet get indoctrinated intothe views of the instructor, since those arethe only ideas allowed, andno alternative

views are aired?”The court saidMcAdamshad a contrac-

tual right to express his views.Heshouldn’t have beenheld responsible forthe nasty emails sent to the instructor byother people. “Just because vile commen-tary followed the blog post does notmeanthe blog post instigated or invited the vile-ness,” the court noted. It said the facultycommitteewas biased againstMcAdamsbecause onemember signed that openletter.Marquette argued that itwas actingto protect students, not control speech— ifthe blog post hadn’t identified the instruc-tor, the schoolwould not have punishedMcAdams.

But that, in a nutshell, iswhy this casewas about freedomof expression. IfMc-Adamshadhurt no feelings, aroused nopassion, kept things safe by protecting theinstructor’s identity, therewould have beenno controversy.

ButMcAdamsdid express himself ag-gressively, andMarquette had an obliga-tion to defendhim.Not because the schoolliked his blog, but becauseMcAdamshad aright to express himself.

A lesson in free expression for Marquette University

ManyRepublicans loathedwhat his rulingsmeant forgay equality, affirmative action, abortion andhis refusal tobe anAntonin Scalia clone. Theymockedhis rhetoric forits highfalutin vagueness.

ManyDemocrats expressed their contempt for him ashe left, decried his consistent federalism, and simplycouldn’t grasp howa socialmoderate could also favordefending the rights of fundamentalists unfairly treated bythe state government or of bigmoney in politics because ofthe First Amendment.

I have to say, I respected him for all the reasons thepartisans hated him.What hewas able to dowas to holdtwo ideas in hismind at the same time: that historymovesforward and laws and institutions need to adjust to thosechanges or die; and that the core conception of individualliberty should remain the animating principle of Americaand theWest.

I see thismost clearly in hisweighing of religious libertywith gay rights.Hewas intent on showing howcompatiblethey ultimatelywere, if only individual freedom,modera-tion and civilitywere allowed to do theirwork.

What happenswhenneighborhoods getred-hot? They get exclusive. And as theydo,working-class Chicagoans find them-selves priced out of communities that they,and perhaps generations preceding them,had called home.

TheTribune’s Jeff Coen andGregoryPratt recently reported onMayorRahmEmanuel’s stumbles as he’s tried to tacklethe tricky issue of affordable housing.They discovered that in gentrifying neigh-borhoodswhere affordable housing ismost needed, fees paid by developers tofundhousing at below-market rates getdiverted elsewhere. Inmany cases, thatmoney showsup on the South Side,wherehousing needs are great, butwhere afford-able housing isn’t as acute of a problemasit is on theNorth Side.

They also found that the amount ofaffordable housing being built in the city isfalling short of CityHall’s projections. In2015,whenCityHall strengthened thecity’s affordable housing ordinance,Emanuel’s teampredicted the creation of1,200newhousing units by 2020. But as ofthe end of the first quarter in 2018, a Trib-une analysis showed that the ordinancerevamphad yielded only 194 affordablehousing units, or a five-year pace of 431units.

With a re-election campaign underway,themayor’s been spitting out housinginitiativeswith dizzying speed—by ourcount, sixmeasureswithin a span of aweek that, oneway or another, aim tomake housingmore affordable. Amongthem:■ The creation of a housing departmentthat brainstorms long-term remedies tothe city’s lack of affordable housing;■ The establishment of a $30million fundto funnel low-cost financing to developersbuying apartment buildings in gentrifyingneighborhoods,with the catch that thedevelopers have to set aside at least 20percent of the units as affordable housing

for at least 15 years;■ The expansion of the city’s transit-oriented development program to fourheavily usedCTAbus lines. The city’sTODprogramcurrently encourages high-density housing and retail near train sta-tions. Apartment builders inTODareasmust provide affordable housing. Thatrequisitewould apply toTODprojectsnear bus lines alongWesternAvenue,AshlandAvenue, ChicagoAvenue and

79th Street.Will thesemeasures chip away at the

exclusivity that’s creeping intomore andmore neighborhoods?Timewill tell. Inthemeantime, there are immediate stepsthemayor can take to rev up affordablehousing, particularly on theNorth Side,where it’s needed themost.

First, he can expand a pilot programaimed at sparking the construction ofmore affordable housing on theNear

North andNearWest sides, and along theMilwaukeeAvenueCorridor,which runsthroughportions of theNorth andNorth-west sides’ Avondale,West Town andLogan Square neighborhoods.Under thecity’s AffordableRequirementsOrdinance,developers can either set aside as afford-able housing a portion of the homesthey’re building or pay a buyout fee. Thatmoney goes to a fund that the city uses onits own efforts to build affordable housing.

The pilot programeliminates the buy-out option and ensures that if developersare going to build in those neighborhoods,they’ll have no choice but to include af-fordable housing in their plans.Whynotexpand the program to other neighbor-hoods, particularly fast-gentrifyingNorthSide communitieswhere families aregetting forced out by sky-high rents?

Emanuel can also put hismayoral cloutbehind an affordable housing proposal ontheNorthwest Side that’s run into a brickwall. NearNorwoodPark, a developerwants to build 299 apartments, up to 30 ofwhichwould be set aside as affordablehousing. At a zoning committeemeetinglastmonth, aldermen rejected the project,citingAld. AnthonyNapolitano’s concernsabout impact on traffic and local schools.

The real reason for the project’s rejec-tion?The committee caved toNapolitano’suse of aldermanic prerogative, an unwrit-ten rule that gives aldermen veto powerover projectswithin theirwards. Thedeveloper, GlenStar Properties, hasclaimed in a lawsuit thatNapolitano’sopposition is tied to the project’s inclusionof affordable housing.

Memo toEmanuel:Howabout a littlemayoral prerogative?Use your clout tomake theGlenStar project happen. Everyneighborhood benefitswhen it attains asense of balance. Gentrification can beinevitable inmany communities, but thatdoesn’tmean those communities have togive up affordability.

GROWTH VS. AFFORDABILITY

Neighborhoods need both

PERSPECTIVE

If you believe certain pockets of oursometimes breathless press, socialismis having a bit of amoment inAmeri-ca. The surprise primarywin of 28-year-oldAlexandriaOcasio-Cortez—aphotogenicDemocratic Socialistwhodefeated 10-termDemocraticincumbentRep. JosephCrowley inNewYork, andwho advocates for afederal employment guarantee andsingle-payMedicare for all—hasinspiredmultiple discussions aboutthe rising role of socialism in theDemocratic Party.

This is not a newquestion, ofcourse:Howcouldwe forget the resil-ient popularity of our ownSen. BernieSanders,who is admittedly less chicbut avowedly just as socialist? Regard-less, the debate rages on:Why is so-cialism so hot right now? Is the social-istmovement the new tea party?Cansocialism sell in theMidwest? Thirtyyears fromnow,will America lookmore likeDenmark?

This last question became a bitawkward for someon the left, given aNewYorkTimes report fromCopen-hagen focusing on the socialist-lean-ing state’s new immigration policy:“Starting at the age of 1, ‘ghetto chil-dren’ ”— that’s apparently the officialtermused by theDanish government

— “must be separated from their fam-ilies for at least 25 hours aweek, notincluding nap time, formandatoryinstruction in ‘Danish values,’ includ-ing the traditions of Christmas andEaster, andDanish language.Non-compliance could result in a stoppageofwelfare payments.”

Big governments, in otherwords,tend to do big-government things, andtheymight not always be good, andyoumight not always like it. Thisshould not come as a surprise, butthere it is. Speaking of awkward, andalso speaking of socialism, let’s noteven bring upVenezuela,which is aterrible, tragicmess.

Most discussions surrounding thepotential rise of socialism focus onmillennials— you know, that bright-eyed generation forever scarred by thefact that theywill never be a part ofthemagnificentGenerationX. I kid, Ikid: I barelymade the cut intoGenera-tionXmyself. I even got carded at thegrocery store on the Fourth of July,and I’m super excited about it, whichis prettymuch all the evidence youneed that I am indeed officially old!Anyway, let’smove on.

Millennials are known for favoringsocialismmore than any other agegroup in theUnited States: In onewidely reported 2016YouGov survey,43 percent of respondents in the 18-29age group viewed socialism in a pos-itive light. (In the 30-44 age group,with the oldestmillennials clocking inat age 37, 27 percent saw socialismfavorably.) But beyond their views oncollectivist government schemes,

millennials also tend to share someinteresting ideas aboutmarriage,child-rearing and family life, as twonew surveys—one fromPewRe-search, and the other from theMorn-ingConsult for TheNewYorkTimes— reveal. Thesemight havemore to dowith socialism than onemight think.

Pew’s report, released inMarch,showed a stunning decline inmarriagerates among the younger generation:“About 6-in-10millennials (57 per-cent) have never beenmarried,”mak-ing them “more than three times aslikely to have nevermarried” as theirgrandparents. Around two-thirds ofunmarriedmillennials eventuallywant to getmarried, they tell pollsters,but “29 percent say they are not finan-cially prepared” and 26 percent say“they are too young andnot ready tosettle down.” That latter 26 percent, inotherwords, are still regularly gettingcarded at the grocery store, obliviousto the churningwheel of time. Ahem.

Fertility rates in theUnited States,meanwhile, have reached a recordlow, as addressed inTheNewYorkTimes/MorningConsult poll. “There’sa lot of concern aboutwhy today’syoung adults aren’t having asmanychildren,”wroteClaireCainMiller inthe poll’s accompanying report. “Sowe asked them.”The answers arerevealing.

About half of the respondents hadchildren,with a significant percentagedeclaring they’d have fewer childrenthan their ownparents— and formany, reportedly, thiswas due tofinancial concerns. Among the non-

parents, 24 percent of respondentsdeclared they did notwant children;an additional 34 percent said theyweren’t sure.When askedwhy theydidn’twant children orweren’t sure,36 percent said theywanted “moreleisure time”; 30 percent said theysimply had no desire for children.Twenty-four percent said theyweren’tsure they’d be a “goodparent”;mean-while, 18 percent said their careerwasa “higher priority.”

Togetherwith themarriage stat-istics reported by Pew, these answerspaint an image of an increasinglyatomized and individualist genera-tional subset— at least in terms oftheir personal lives. It’sworthwon-deringwhether these trends alsohappen to heighten the appeal of acompletely different kind of “togeth-erness”— albeit a forced togetherness— found in the formof socialism.

The real irony, of course, is thatsocialism can actuallywork, as long asit’s not in government-based form. I’mtalking, of course, about the family—the original socialist organization, alsoknown for dramatically fighting pov-ertywhen it remains intact. Familiesmight seem fairly off-trend, at least ifyou believe the latest round of stat-istics. Perhapsmillennials can bringthemback. As theymight find out, thegovernment can be a poor substituteindeed.

“I didn’t leave theDemo-cratic Party. The party leftme.”—RonaldReagan

Now I knowhow theGipper felt.

Once upon a time, yousee, I thought Iwas a littlebit conservative.Mind you,I could never sidewith theright on social justicemat-ters like the treatment ofLGBTAmericans, African-Americans andwomen,where they have alwaysbeen irredeemablywrong.But I did agreewith themon the importance of fa-thers and on the need forself-reliance, a strongmili-tary and foreign-policyrealism.While I supportgovernment regulation ofbusiness, consumer stand-ards and the environment, I

was evenwilling to listen toconservative complaintsabout excessive red tape.

Thing is, I still holdmoreor less the same views, butI’mnobody’s idea of a con-servative. I didn’t change,but the definition of conser-vative did. And that forces arealization:

With apologies to JohnF.Kennedy, Ich bin ein libe-ral.

Thatwill, I know, bringhowls of derision fromconservatives. They’ll see itas a portentous announce-ment of a self-evident truth— likeKareemAbdul-Jab-bar announcing he is tall.

I get the joke, but thejokemakesmypoint.

We live in a starkly bipo-lar politicalworld. One isred or one is blue, one isright or one is left. But I’vealways resisted the ideathat I had to choose a teamand line up behind its talk-ing points. I’ve always saidno political philosophy hasamonopoly on good ideas.

So Iwas neverwilling tocallmyself liberal. Or con-

servative. I liked the idea ofweighing the facts andthinking a thing throughformyself.

Iwas naive, though.While Iwas holding out ona lonely island of principle,themiddle space betweenthe extremes shrank tonothing. Political identitybecame actual identity, and

onewas required to choosesides, like a kid in the slumsforced to choose betweenrival street gangs,withconscientious objection notan option.

And the choice isn’treally a choice at all, be-causewhat used to beconservatismno longer is.When’s the last time you

heard the right talk aboutthe kinds of things—fatherhood, clear-eyedforeign policy— that oncehelped define it?

No, these days, being“conservative”means beingangry and fearful at the lossofwhite prerogative. Itmeans to embrace—or atthe very least, tolerate,which is functionally thesame thing—anewandbrazen strain ofwhitesupremacy. Itmeans to bedismissive and destructiveof the norms of democraticgovernance. Itmeans towillingly accept nonstoplies, intellectual vacuity andnaked incompetence andpretend they are signs ofstable genius. Itmeans tobewholly in thrall to theCult of Trump.

SmallwonderGOPheavyweights like col-umnistsGeorgeWill andMaxBoot and campaignstrategist Steve Schmidthave disavowed their partyout of devotion towhatconservatismused to be.Theirmoral couragemakes

obviousmost Republicans’lack thereof.

That said, onewonders ifitwill not turn out thattheseworthies are simplyholding out on their ownlonely island of principle, ifconservatism’s headlongmarch toward fascismwillnotmake them the oneswho seemnaive 20 yearsdown the line. But that’stheir problem.

This column is aboutmyproblem,which I guess I’vesolved, thoughnotwithoutregret for the dayswhen Ifelt free towalk betweenpolitical extremes andnotdeclaremyself. But in 2018,that’s an unaffordable luxu-ry. In 2018, one of thoseextremes represents adanger as clear and presentas any foreign adversary.

So yes, I ama liberal.Because I have, literally, noalternative.

PERSPECTIVE

The campaign to sway publicopinion andPresidentDonaldTrumpabout his choice to fill theSupremeCourt vacancy left byJusticeAnthonyKennedy’s re-tirement is in its final hours. On aclosely divided court there ismuch at stakewith this nomina-tion. As a lifelongRepublican, Iamangry about the unfair publictreatment of some of the potentialnominees and amashamedofsome of the anonymous snipingbymy fellow conservatives.

I learned as a young lawyerthat being a judicial conservativemeans youdo not ignore, redefineor add to the text of theConstitu-tion or thewords of a congres-sional statute to achieve a policyoutcome. I learned that a judicialconservative exercises humility,understanding that judges havean important but limited role inthe nation’s constitutionalscheme. Judicial conservatives donotweigh in on issues that arerightfully the responsibility of the

government’s elected branches. Ilearned that a judicial conserva-tive puts aside personal biasesand actswith integrity and thecourage to do the right thing evenif unpopular.

Being a judicial conservativemeans having a healthy respectfor precedent, and beingmindfulof the public’s reliance on earlierdecisions butwilling to overturnthose that are plainlywrong, asrequired by a judge’s oath of of-fice.

Of course every potential no-minee should be carefully vetted,but baseless attacks complicatethe nomination process and in-crease the chances that the presi-dent fails to nominate the strong-est candidate. For example, itwasreported thatDistrict of Colum-biaCircuit JudgeBrett Ka-vanaugh dissented in a case inwhich the circuit panel ruled touphold theAffordableCareAct.Kavanaugh dissented on the basisthat the court lacked jurisdiction.Unnamed conservatives arguethat he should havewritten to

invalidate the statute. I learnedlong ago that a true judicial con-servative exercises restraint anddoes not decide or speak to themerits of a disputewhere there isno jurisdiction.

The same reporting includedanother casewhere theDistrict ofColumbiaCircuit ruled to allow apregnant teenwhowas in theU.S.illegally to get an abortion. Again,Kavanaugh dissented, and onceagain nameless conservativesargued that the dissent shouldhave gone further, no doubt frus-trated thatKavanaughdid nottake on abortion rights eventhoughhe is bound as a circuitjudge to followSupremeCourtprecedent. I remember a timewhen true judicial conservativesdid not act to advance a socialagenda through dicta—wordsthat have no legal bearing in thecase at handnor serve as prece-dent for future cases.

Themost outrageous excusegiven to opposeKavanaugh is hisservice in theGeorgeW.Bushadministration.Hehas been

accused of being a “mainstream”or “establishment”Republican, asif thismakes him anunreliableconservative. I remindmyRepub-lican friends that JusticeNeilGorsuch also served in theBushadministration, yet I do not recallconservatives using that as anexcuse to question his commit-ment to the rule of lawor to con-servative principles. Based onwhat I knowand experienced,Kavanaugh servedwith honoranddistinction in theBush ad-ministration.He carried out thepresident’s policies, and to penal-ize himnow for his service to ourcountry is unfair andwrong.

The president has a difficultjob of trying to anticipate howsomeonewill decide cases 25 or35 years fromnow.History is fullof examples of dashed expecta-tions, disappointments and frus-tration over the decisions of jus-tices once considered “reliable”by supporters. Surprises are nevera good thing for an administrationwhen it comes to appointments tothe court. It iswise for this presi-

dent to nominate someonewhohas an established track recordand experience—much asGor-suchhad before his nomination—as a true judicial conservative.

I understand social conserva-tives’ frustrationwith the courtand their desire to see a justiceappointedwhowill advance andprotect their interests. Butweneed to remember that theSupremeCourt is not an exten-sion of theWhiteHouse, or of anypolitical party or socialmove-ment. The court should never beperceived or used as ameans topromote andprotect a conserva-tive policy agenda. If that hap-pens, then conservatives losecredibility and the country ispoorer for it.

Fellow conservatives, stop the baseless attackson a potential Supreme Court pick

There aremany definitionsof patriotism.MarkTwain saidpatriotismmeans supportingyour country all the time andyour governmentwhen it de-serves it.

I like this, but it’s flawed.Sometimes your country— i.e.,the people— can do things thatrequire the government tocorrect its citizens. That’swhywehave aBill of Rights. Some-times “we the people” arewrong, and the individual isright. That’swhatG.K.Chestertonwas getting atwhenhe said, “ ‘My country,right orwrong’ is a thing thatno patriotwould think of say-ing. It is like saying, ‘Mymother, drunk or sober.’ ”

In otherwords, patriotism isa simple concept in the abstract— “love of country”—but it canbe complicated in its applica-

tion.I lovemydaughter deeply,

but that love does notmeanunconditional support foreverything she does orwants todo. Sometimes the greater actof love is to say “No” or “You’rewrong.” But I think all reason-able people can agree that anyfatherwho says to his daughter,“Iwish youwere never born”does not love his child.

Which bringsme to a Fourthof July essaywritten forVox-.com, “ThreeReasons theAmericanRevolutionwas aMistake,” byDylanMatthews.

He begins: “This July 4, let’snotmincewords: Americanindependence in 1776was amonumentalmistake.Weshould bemourning the factthatwe left theUnitedKing-dom, not cheering it.”

Matthews’ three reasons:TheAmericanRevolutionprolonged slavery; independ-encewas bad forNativeAmeri-cans; andwewould have abetter systemof government ifwehad a parliamentary systemlike other former colonies oftheBritish crown.

Now, I could argue againstall these propositions, but that’snot the point Iwant tomake.Instead, let us concede themfor argument’s sake.

It strikesme as incontrovert-ible that this is an unpatrioticargument.

That is not to say it is an evil,dishonest or treasonous argu-ment. But if the dictionarydefinition of patriotism is “de-voted love, support and defenseof one’s country,” then dispas-sionately arguing that itwouldbe better if theUnited States ofAmerica hadnever existedstrikesme as a singularly unpa-triotic thing to do.

And that’s OK.Oh, I disagreewithMatthews, but it has al-ways struckme that the cultur-al prohibition against ever“questioning” someone’s patri-otism tends to confusemorethan it clarifies. During theGeorgeW.Bush years, itwas acliche of the left to insist that“dissent is the highest formofpatriotism.”Of course, oncePresident BarackObama cameinto office, dissent becamesynonymouswith racismac-

cording tomany of the samepeople.

By theway: It’s simply nottrue that dissent is the highestformof patriotism.AsmyNa-tional Review colleague JohnO’Sullivan puts it: Dissent is thehighest formof patriotism.Treason is the highest formofdissent. Ergo, treasonmust bethe highest formof patriotism.

This points to the problemwith the schizophrenicwaywetalk about patriotism. Too oftenit is an anathematizingwordused to brand someone as aheretic or traitor. That’s howSen. JoeMcCarthy used it, andone finds versions of it on thenationalist right every day. Butsince theMcCarthy era,wealso cast the act of questioningsomeone’s patriotismas some-how treasonous or evil too.“Howdare you questionmypatriotism!?” is one of the greatconversation stoppers.

Of course, some forms ofdissent are, indeed, rooted inpatriotic love of country. Butsomedissent is rooted in dis-dain, contempt or even hatredfor this country. And some

dissent is simply informedby akind of cosmopolitan indiffer-ence toAmerican exceptional-ism. These attitudes aremoreprevalent on the left than theright, but they are not un-known to the right. One ofmyintellectual heroes, Albert JayNock, often commented thathe’d be just as happy to live inBelgiumasAmerica.

I thinkwe simultaneouslyexpect toomuch and too littleof the concept of patriotism.Anatheist by definition has no loveof Jesus or the divine. Thatdoesn’tmean an atheist cannotbe a goodperson. Indeed, oneof the best things about athe-ism is its honesty.Wehave noword for the personwhodoesn’t have special affectionfor our country that isn’tfreightedwith negative conno-tations. It seems themoment isripe to coin one.

Whenhe gave noticeThursday after-noon that hewould soon be out the door ashead of theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency, Scott Pruitt invoked theAlmightyin his resignation letter to PresidentDon-aldTrump.

“I believe you are serving as presidenttoday because ofGod’s providence,” hewrote. “I believe that sameprovidencebroughtme into your service.”

Pruitt’s departure frompublic servicewillmean forgoing a fewof the perks andpowers that he seems to think divine inter-vention brought hisway, such as:■ AWashington condo owned by a lobby-ist and rented to him for just $50 per night;■ A$43,000 soundproofmeeting booth inhis office that violated federal spendinglaw;■ Expensive first-class and private jettravel;■ Being able to lobbyChick-fil-A to con-sider giving hiswife a franchise;■ Being able to ask aides to find a lucrativepost for hiswifewith theRepublicanAttor-neysGeneral Association;■ Being able to ask various aides andmem-bers of his security detail to run errandslike fetching his dry cleaning and buyinghand lotion, snacks and amattress from theTrump InternationalHotel for him;■ ScoringRoseBowl tickets fromaPRfirm representing energy companies;■ Apparently being able to use secret cal-endars to avoidmaintainingwritten re-cords ofmeetings;■ Thepower to demote or intimidate lotsof EPAemployeeswho complained aboutall of this.

Rest assured that providencewill stillwatch over theEPAdespite Pruitt’s exit.His successor as the agency’s acting ad-ministrator, AndrewWheeler, is a formerlobbyist for the coal industry. And thepresident—who remained a staunch de-fender of Pruitt from themoment hismyri-ad problems began seeping out publiclyalmost a year ago—put a happy gloss on

the departurewhenhe praised Pruitt forbeing a “terrific guy” and for doing an“outstanding job.”

One lessonwe can draw fromPruitt’sresignation is that there are plenty of like-minded and conflicted souls inTrump’sWashington ready to fill his shoes. Anotheris that the president andhis family have setsuch a lowbar for ethical conduct that youcan understandhowPruittmight havetaken their cue anddecided to go hogwildhimself. As it’s turned out, Trumphasn’tdrained the swamp inWashington—he’sjust stocked itwith bigger alligators. “Out-standing job” has been redefined in somecases as “grifting” and in others as “feastingon the taxpayer’s dime.”

Let’s not forget TomPrice,who stepped downlast September fromhisperch atopHealth andHumanServices after itwas revealed he hadbooked a string of expen-sive, taxpayer-fundedcharter flights. (His finalemailmessage toHHSemployees also citedprovidence: “Duty isOurs—Results are theLord’s!”) TrumpfiredDavid Shulkin,who ranVeteransAffairs, inMarch after itwas disclosed thatShulkin took hiswife andhis securitydetail on an 11-day, taxpayer-fundedEuro-pean trip that involved only a fewdays ofbusiness (butmanaged to include two freetickets to a tennismatch atWimbledon).

Meanwhile, Commerce SecretaryWilburRoss has drawn attention for finan-cial conflicts of interest that have doggedhis tenure. Ross owns companies thatimport auto parts and SouthKorean steel,businesses directly affected by his rolehelpingTrump craft trade policy. Ross alsohas investments in companies co-ownedby theChinese government and a shippingfirmwith links toRussian PresidentVladi-mir Putin’s son-in-law and apparentlycontinues to hold a stake in theBank ofCyprus. (an institution that has attracted

the interest of special counsel RobertMueller becauseTrump’s former cam-paignmanager, PaulManafort, had ac-counts there.)

Lastmonth, Ross noted that he didn’tengage in insider tradingwhenhe shortedthe stock of his shipping firm shortly be-fore news reports emerged about its linksto Putin. OnMonday, Ross disclosed thathe had also shorted two other stocks aspart ofwhat he called “technicalways ofdisposing the stocks.”He’s taken advantageof this technicality five timeswhile servinginTrump’sCabinet.

Over at the InteriorDepartment, thatagency’s inspector general launched a

review recently of aprivate land deal involv-ing Interior SecretaryRyanZinke and thechairman ofHalliburtonCo. Zinke holds sway onpolicies involving newenergy drilling on publicland.Hehas acknowl-edgedmeetingwith theHalliburton chairman,DavidLesar, and otherbusinesspeople in his

government office to chat about devel-opment deals, but he has criticized report-ing on the discussions as “fake news.”

The president’s daughter Ivanka,whoserves as a seniorWhiteHouse adviser, stillowns an apparel and accessories licensingbusiness that sources some of its clothinginChina and operates globally.

Her husband, JaredKushner, has had ajack-of-all-trades portfolio asWhiteHouseadviser,with a special emphasis on foreignpolicy and theMiddle East. Kushner andhis family also have business ties to firms intheMiddleEast that raise the same conflictof interest questions looming over hiswifeand other inhabitants of Trumplandia.According to the couple’smost recentfinancial disclosure forms, they earned atleast $82million in outside income lastyearwhileworking in theWhiteHouse.

Trumphimself sets the ethical tone in all

of this, of course.He hasn’t effectivelycordonedhimself off from theTrumpOrganization’s business activities, and heremains themost financially conflictedpresident of the last 100 years.Hundreds ofbusinesses, trade groups, foreign govern-ments and other entitieswithmattersbefore the federal government have pa-tronizedTrump-ownedproperties sincehe becamepresident, according to PublicCitizen, an advocacy group. Trump’s cam-paign, Republican organizations and gov-ernment agencies have spent at least $16.1million at Trump’s properties since hedeclared his presidential bid in 2015, ac-cording to a recent report fromProPublica.

It’s nowonder, then, that the presidentand theRepublicanswhoback him sat ontheir hands over the past year as Pruitt’sproblems festered. That logjamwas bro-ken, in part, by a schoolteacher andmothernamedKristinMinkwhopolitely ques-tionedPruitt about his conflicts andfreeloadingwhen she happeneduponhimat a restaurant on July 2. Video footage ofMink asking Pruitt to resignwent viral.

“If you’re doing your job properly as acivil servant, youwant to hear from thepeoplewho are paying your taxes,”Minksaidwhen interviewed onMSNBCabouther encounterwith Pruitt. “And I thinkthat it’smy, it’smy right as a citizen, it’smyresponsibility as amother, and the samething goes for everybody else inAmerica.”

Mink—and everybody else inAmericaforwhomshe provided an example—willhave to avoid becoming numb to all of this,though. Trumphas a boundless interest inmakingmoney, and as long as he continuesignoring the financial conflicts of interestthat tar his presidency, others onhisWhiteHouse teamare likely to follow suit.

GroupthinkManypeople cannot understand

whyPresidentDonaldTrump’s sup-porters remain loyal despite his fre-quent lies and atrocious behavior.Allowme to explain.

Inmyninth-grade gymclass,wehad been divided into two teams toplay baseball. It happened that theteacherwas not able to see if a runnerwas safe or out at first base. Everyoneon the runner’s team said hewasclearly safe,whilemembers ofmyteam said hewas out. Iwas playingright field and saw that runnerwassafe and said so. The teacher thendeclared that hewas safe.My team-mateswere indignant that I had be-trayed the cause.

Keep inmind, these teamswererandomly created, had been in exist-ence formaybe 15minutes, andwouldcease to exist at the end of the period.Yet team loyalty trumpedphysicalreality formost ofmy classmates.

Trump’s supporters believe he is ontheir side.We are in the grips of adangerous personality cult. Demo-crats, Republicans and independentswho are rightly aghast atwhatTrumpis doing need to domore than pointout his lies. Theymust show the peo-ple that he is not on their side.Hispolicies on taxes, trade, health careand the environment are designed tobenefit a narrow segment of America’scorporate elite and are hurtingmostAmericans. Bluewave or not, the tidewill turn onlywhen the people under-stand this.

—Michael Sullivan, Carbondale, Ill.

Self-driving nightmareIt defies logic that the insanity of

developing driverless cars should becontinued, as theTribune has recom-mended.Driverless cars are not onlybrainless, literally, they aremost obvi-ously dangerous. Thiswas evident inthe recent pedestrian death caused byone of these creations as itwas beingtestedwith a backupdriver. Uber, thefinancial backer of that car, blamedthe backupdriver’s negligence for thefatal accident. It turned out that asafety-braking systemhad been disa-bled aswell. “Eventually,” accordingto theTribuneEditorial Board, “thetechnologywill be advanced enoughto no longer require backupdrivers…taking human error out of the equa-tion.”

Because computerizedmachinescan be flawed, too, driverless cars alsotake out the human judgment to dealwith possibly unprogrammed emer-gencies, blockages, engine problems,damage caused by other cars, policingand somany other issues. The in-volvement in driverless cars byUberand other ride-sharing companiesindicates they plan to use them to savemoney andpick uppassengers. As-suming a driverless carwill knowhowto reach a pickup site,what if thescheduled passenger is drunk or acriminal and tries to take over the car?

Driverless cars are too risky tomakethe roads any safer.

—EdStone,Northbrook

Forgetting the averageI continue to be frustratedwith all

government retirees being lumpedtogether by theTribune. The averageteacher does not receive a goldenparachute, unlike some in positions ofpower.

Remember that the averageteacher,whomyounever discuss, haspaid 9 percent of his salary toward hispension for his entire career. Teachersdo not receive Social Security. Re-cently, you suggested removing theirsick day pay enhancement. There is ashortage of subs as it is.Many teach-ers come to teachwhenperhaps theyshouldn’t because of the promise ofthat benefit.

I’m tired of reading about teachersreceiving toomuch in retirement, letalone for their teaching careers.Whodo you thinkwillwant to enter thefield of education?There is already ashortage. Do younot realize howshortsighted your view is?Ourwell-educated children are our future. I’mtired of theTribune referring to therelative handfulwhohave benefitedas if itwere the average retiringteacher.

—AliceGruenberg,Northbrook

A lasting legacyIn his book “Traitor to his Class,”

this is howH.W.Brands summedupFranklinD. Roosevelt’s tenure aspresident: “Did he get everythingright? By nomeans, and he neverclaimedhe did. But he got a greatdeal right … beyond everything else,he providedhope.

“He learned fromUncleTed andWoodrowWilson that the presi-dency is above all else amoral office.A presidentwho speaks to thehopes anddreams of the people canchange the nation. Roosevelt didspeak to the people’s hopes anddreams, and together they changedAmerica.

“Heunderstood that hewasmerely president, not a czar.

“But evenmore than domesticmatters, he got the big (interna-tional) issues right.He held thealliance together.

“The principle that guided hisforeign policywas that close in-volvementwith theworldwasAmerica’s responsibility and inAmerica’s interest.

“(People) put their faith inRoose-velt because he put his faith inthem.”

I shudder to think howPresidentDonaldTrump’s legacywill read.

Monday, July 9, 2018 | Section 2

As youhead off to the beach, themoun-tains or enjoy a staycation this summer, hereismy annual list of books that I have enjoyedso far this year. I encourage you to check outthese top picks— they really are page-turners.

“Thinking in Bets” by Annie DukeYour financial life requires a number of

decisions, some ofwhich contain an elementof luck that you can’t control, not tomentioninformation that is hidden fromview.

In her easy-to-read book, poker champion-turned-business consultantDuke teaches youhow to becomemore comfortablewith uncer-tainty andmake better decisions as a result.

Duke argues that shifting your thinkingfromaneed for certainty to a goal of accu-rately assessingwhat you knowandwhat youdon’twillmake you less vulnerable to reactiveemotions, knee-jerk biases anddestructivehabits in your decision-making.

“Presence” by Amy CuddyHave you ever left a nerve-racking chal-

lenge and immediatelywished for a do-over?Maybe you felt you flubbed a job interview, aperformance or a difficult conversation. If so,you are (a) human and (b) someonewhoshould readCuddy’s bestselling book,whichwas released in paperback earlier this year.

Cuddy notes that the verymoments thatrequire us to be genuine and commandingcan instead cause us to feel phony andpower-less. To help, she offers techniques to liberateus from fear in high-pressuremoments, per-format our best, and connectwith and em-power others to do the same.

“When the Wolves Bite: Two Billionaires,One Company, and an Epic Wall StreetBattle” by Scott Wapner

CNBChostWapner took a brawl betweenWall Street titansCarl Icahn andBill Ackman(over supplement companyHerbalife) andturned it into a page-turning tale ofmoney,power, pride and greed.

Wapner gained unprecedented access tothe players andunravels this remarkablewarof egos, showing the extrememeasures theparticipantswerewilling to take. The disputebecame a years-long feud, completewithsecret backroomdeals, public accusations,billions of dollars in stock trades and onedramatic insultwar on live television.

“I Love Capitalism!: An American Story”by Ken Langone

As a legendary financier, co-founder ofHomeDepot and philanthropist extraordi-naire, Langone’smemoirmight seem like ajust another ego-infused tome. But in a seriesof captivating stories, he showshowawork-ing-class boy fromLong Island struggled inacademics, broke intoWall Street and scram-bled for anMBAat night.

Langone says: “Absolutely anybody is enti-tled to dreambig, and absolutely everybodyshould dreambig. I did. Showmewhere thesilver spoonwas inmymouth. I’ve got toargue profoundly andpassionately: I’m theAmericanDream.”

“What Would the Great Economists Do?:How Twelve Brilliant Minds Would SolveToday’s Biggest Problems” by LindaYueh

Did you snooze throughEcon 101?Did youskip it entirely?Noneed toworry, becauseYuehhaswritten awonderful book that re-counts the theories of 12 of themost famouseconomists, as she explains their influence onour lives and also determineswhether or nottheir ideas can help uswith the policy chal-lenges thatwe face today.

While it’s easy to recognize the schoolyard bully,workplace bulliesusemore sophisticated tactics. Some of themare difficult to prove,and other behaviors allowbullies to fly under the radar.

But it’s important to recognizewhat behaviors constitute bullying becauseone in theworkplace can be enough to create a toxic environment. According tosurveys by theWorkplaceBullying Institute, these are someof themostcommon tactics that bullies use.

Making false accusations: Seventy-one percent of survey respondents saida bully had accused themofmakingerrors they didn’t commit.

plarywork.Despite evidence that aprojectmeets the company’s stand-ards, a bullymight say it’s not goodenough or doesn’tmeet guidelines.

Encouraging people to turnagainst the target: Bullies feelmorepowerfulwhen they gain allies. So, inan attempt to getmore people on theirside, they often encourage others toturn against the person being tor-mented. Fifty-five percent have seenthis happen in theworkplace.

Abusing the evaluation process:Bullies often are dishonest about theirtarget. Forty-six percent say they’veseen a bully lie about another person’sperformance on an evaluation.

somepowermaymake arbitrary rulesand then accuse the target of beinginsubordinate if those commandsaren’t followed. Forty-six percenthavewitnessed this first-hand.

Using confidential information tohumiliate someone: Whether youconfided inHR that you’re strugglingwith amental health issue or you tolda supervisor you’re going through adivorce, a bullymight try to use thatinformation against you.

Making impossible demands: Abully is likely to give his or her targetridiculous demands. Forty-four per-cent have seen a bully assign someonean impossible deadline ormake un-reasonable requests.

Dealingwith aworkplace bully iscomplicated, especially if it’s yoursupervisor. But it’s important to takeaction to address the situation be-cause bullies can take a serious toll oneveryone in theworkplace.

Save emails and other evidence ofpunitive and abusive behavior, andmake a case to uppermanagement. Ifotherworkers also are being tor-mented, enlist themandpresent aunited front against the bully.

Here are a fewways to enjoy some smooth sailing for less.

SOURCE: Kiplinger

Sail and saveGet more bang with a river-cruise bundle

River cruises are often less expensive overallthan ocean cruises.Most ships bundlewineand beer, shore excursions andmore into thesticker price, whereasmainstream cruisestypically charge extra for these treats.

Do your own thing

Depending on the port andwhichactivities you choose, shore excursionscan be expensive. Do your homework andbook your ownprivate tour, rent a bike orkayak, or go for a hike on your own.

Position yourself for savings

When cruise ships reposition from theCaribbean to theMediterranean in the spring, and the otherway in the fall,they take passengers along at a reduced rate. Transatlan-tic crossings usually feature the cheapest daily rates, soyou can sail on some of the best ships for about $50 a dayafter taxes, according toCruiseSheet.com.One caveat:You’ll spendmuchmore time at sea than in port.

Cash in on the privileges of ownership

Investorswho own at least 100 shares of stock in theparent companies of Carnival, Norwegian andRoyal

Caribbean cruise lines can receive onboard credit ($50 to$250). You’ll have to send proof of ownership to the cruise

line a fewweeks before departure, but you can claim this creditevery time you sail. (Don’t rush to buy shareswithout checkingout the companies first, as youwouldwith any investment.)

One of the benefits ofmilitary serviceis theVAmortgage loan, a special dealavailable to anyonewhohas served inthe armed forces.

The loans can be used for newhomepurchases and cash-out refinances.Even if you once had aVA loan and paidit off or sold the house, you can getanother VA loan to buy a newhouse, asyour eligibility never expires.

If you knowa veteranwho is eligible,please pass on this information.Morethan 70 percent of our younger veter-ans have yet to take advantage of thislow, fixed-rate 30-yearmortgage—currently 4.5 percent (4.651 percentAPR)with no points and zero downpayment.

Here’s how theVAHomeLoansprogramworks:■ Nodownpayment is required be-cause of the government guarantee.The loan is 100 percent financing. You’llstill have to pay for aVA appraisal,standard title insurance costs, attorneyfees and any lender processing fees ortransfer taxes. A small VA funding feealso is rolled into the principal of theloan. (Lenders have creativeways ofhelping you cover those costs.)■ These are 30-year or 15-year fixed-rate loans, andmany lenders require aminimum640 credit score, unless youare refinancing a current VA loan.Spouses’ incomemay be used to qualify;theymust have a 640 score too.■ Borrowersmust have a conservativedebt ratio and fully documented in-come.■ These loans are sold into the second-arymarketplace,much as traditionalloans, but because of theVA’s guaranteethey are in demand by investors, pro-vidingmarket liquidity.■ VA loans require nomonthlymort-gage insurance, as FHA loans do, somonthlymortgage payments are lower.Also, if you have at least a 10 percentservice-connected disability, yourVAfunding feewill bewaived.■ There is a VAbenefit limit that is tiedto the conforming loan limit of$453,100 for single-family homes, con-dos and townhomes. It also applies totwo- to four-unit properties. TheVAloan guarantee is capped at $453,100, soa 25 percent downpayment is onlyrequired on anyVA loan amount above$453,100.■ All VA loansmust be owner-occu-pied.

You also can use aVA loan to refi-nance your current loan at 100 percentloan-to-value (assuming you do notintend to take cash out), andmanyVAlenderswill finance 90 percent of thevalue of the home if you need cash outthrough the refinance.

The first step in getting aVA loan isfilling out your certificate of eligibilityusing the applicationVAForm26-1880.When applying, you’ll also need thenames and addresses of all employersfor the previous two years, and yourW-2s and pay stubs.

You can find the application formsandmore details at VA.gov, or you cancall theVAEligibility Center at 888-768-2132.

For specific information aboutmort-gage loans, contact theVALoanCenterat 877-827-3702,Monday throughFri-day, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST to find yournearest local office.

Ourmilitary has served to protectour country, and it’s only fair they getthismortgage benefit in return. Theinterest rate is roughly at the currentmarket rate, and the ability to fund theentire purchase pricewith no costlymortgage insurancemakes aVA loan agreat deal for vets.

And that’s the SavageTruth.

Program offersveterans moreaffordable wayto buy home

Manywhohave long-term care insur-ance have experienced sticker shockrecently as insurance companies that sellthese traditional policies have signifi-cantly increased their premiums.

Even companies that had not previ-ously raised their rates for existing poli-cies have hiked their premiums. If youalready have purchased a traditional long-term care policy, there is no guaranteethat your premiumswill not be raised.Insurance companies historically havebeen successful in requesting and receiv-ing premium increases from the stateinsurance departments.

For example,MassMutual recently hasrequested a 77 percent increase in premi-ums for 54,000policy holders.

LIMRA, an association that specializesin providing information about long-termcare, indicates that between 2015 and2019, 25 percent of peoplewho are 65yearswill need up to two years of long-term care. Fourteen percentwill need fiveyears, ormore, of long-termcare. Becausenursing home costs in some areas of theU.S. costmore than $100,000per year,having some type of long-termcoverage isprudent.

A hybrid policy is one option for peoplewho recognize the need for long-termcare insurance but don’twant to take achance that theywill be forced to paymuchhigher premiums in the future. Oneof the features generally availablewith ahybrid policy, naturally at a cost, is a guar-antee that rateswill never be increased.

Some of the companieswith strongfinancial ratings offering hybrid policiesare Lincoln Financial, Nationwide, SafeLife, Pacific Life andNewYorkLife.

One type of hybrid policy is a singlepremiumpolicy that provides traditionallife insurancewith a rider that providessomeLTCcoverage. Other types of hybridpolicies arewhole life and universal lifepolicieswith anLTC rider that allows you

to pay premiumsmonthly or quarterly.Many insurance companies ask that pre-miums for hybrid policies be paidwithin10 years. LincolnNational allows policy-holders up to age 65 to pay the full cost.

Some companies, such as Prudential,JohnHancock andLincoln Financial,offer optionswith theirwhole life anduniversal policies to access death benefitsto cover LTC-related expenses.

State Life offers a joint, second to diepolicy that allows either spouse tomakewithdrawals to cover LTCexpenses. StateLife also allows retirement assets to beused to fund life insurance premiums.

Other advantages of hybrids: Individu-alswith pre-existing conditions can ob-tain coveragemore easily, and approvalgenerally can be achievedwith a 45-min-ute telephone call.

Policy-holders can recoupmuch oftheir premiumspaid if theywant to cancelthe policy. There generallywould be asurrender period, such as five years, be-fore this option could be used.

Another attractive option is an exten-sion or benefit rider,which allows you toreceive additionalmonthly benefits afterthe base amount has been exhausted. Thisfeature can double the time frame inwhich you can obtain benefits.

Your benefits are guaranteed. Youhavea contractually guaranteed death benefitand a guaranteed amount of long-term

care coverage.One of the disadvantages of the hybrid

policy, in comparison to traditional long-termcare policies, is that somebenefitscan be limited to 60 percent or 75 percentof actual costs.

Another disadvantage is that becausepremiumshave to be paid in a shortertime frame,many people don’t have theimmediate assets or enough recurringincome to pay the required premiums tomeet the shorter time frame.

Another disadvantage is that there is notax deduction available for premiumspaid.

An excellent source for informationrelated to long-term care policies, otherthan your insurance agent, is theAssoci-ation for Long-termCare Insurance(aaltci.org or 818-597-3227).

There is no question that a significantpercentage of senior citizenswill requiresome type of long-term care coverage.

The hybrid policies offermany advan-tages to peoplewhowant someprotectionwith the knowledge that they canhavesome life insurance protection, options torecover some of their premiumspaid, anda guarantee that their premiumswon’tincrease to the point that they have tocancel their LTCcoverage.

Q:Howdoes a shared-benefit riderfor long-termcare insurancework?Does it costmore than regular cov-erage?

A:One of the big unknownswith long-termcare insurance is predicting howlong you’ll need benefits. Although theaverage need for care is about three years,youmight die before needing any care oryou could have a long-lasting condition,such asAlzheimer’s, and receive care formuch longer. Getting a shared-benefitriderwith your spouse is away to hedgeyour betswhen choosing your benefitperiod.

Instead of two separate benefit periods,a couple has a pool of long-termcare ben-efits to split. For example, rather thanhaving three years for each spouse, youmayhave a total of six years of coveragethat either one of you canuse. If yourspouse needs care for two years, you’ll stillhave four years of coverage.

Adding a shared-benefit rider to aLTCpolicy generally costsmore than buyingtwo separate benefit periods, increasing

the cost by about 16 percent for a three-year benefit period— six total years ofcoverage for a couple—and 10percent fora five-year benefit period, or 10 years total,saysClaudeThau, a long-termcare insur-ance specialist inOverlandPark,Kan.

But having the shared benefitmaymakeyou feelmore comfortablewith buying ashorter benefit period.

Q:Mydaughterwill be starting col-lege this fall. Canweget a taxbreak forpaying for college?

A:Youmay get a tax credit for payingher college tuition, depending on yourincome.

If yourmodified adjusted gross incomeis below$180,000 formarried couplesfiling jointly or $90,000 for single filers,then you can claim a full or partial Ameri-canOpportunityCredit for tuition bills.The credit isworth up to $2,500per eligi-ble student, based on 100percent of thefirst $2,000 of qualified education ex-penses and 25percent of the next $2,000.

To qualify, your daughtermust be at-tending school at least half-time for atleast one academic period during the year.

Studentswho are not attending college

at least half-time orwho are beyond theirfirst four years of collegemay qualify fortheLifetimeLearningCredit instead. Thiscredit isworth 20percent of the first$10,000 in qualified education expenses,up to amaximumof $2,000per return.

To qualify for a full or partial credit in2018, yourmodified adjusted gross incomemust be less than $134,000 ifmarriedfiling jointly or $67,000 if single. There isno limit to the number of years that youcan claim theLifetimeLearningCredit.

SUCCESS

Your college-bound freshmanneeds a starter credit card to coveremergencies, plane tickets home andtextbooks.

What are your options?Whatshould you look for? Andwhat groundrules do you intend to put in placebecause youwant the plastic to beusedminimally?

A lot of improvements have beenmade in theway credit cards can bemarketed to college students, thanksto theCredit CardAct of 2009. Collegestudents no longer can be bombardedby card issuerswithT-shirts, drinkholders and other come-ons to enticethem to sign up for a card themomentthey set foot on campus.

Credit card issuers also cannotmarketwithin 1,000 feet of the cam-pusmain gate, and students under theage of 21 have a harder time getting astandard card on their own.

That said, it is generally a good ideafor your college freshman to carry onepiece of plastic to dealwith the unex-pected.

Many card companies allowparentsto act as co-signers on an application,whichwill help himor her to build acredit history. This is better than justadding your student to your own cardas an authorized user, where he or sherides on your good credit record.

Banks typicallywill require the newcardholder to showproof of income,such asmoney earned froma part-time or full-time job, or evenmoneyregularly deposited by you into yourchild’s bank account.

Many parents turn to a securedcredit card for their student, whichrequires a security deposit that essen-tially becomes your line of credit.Because you can’t charge beyond theamount of the deposit, this could be agood choice if you’re concerned yourstudent’s idea of an emergency is threelarge pizzas atmidnight.

Discover, Capital One, Citi andothers have secured cards targeted atstudents. They generally comewithlowor no annual fees, and offer re-wards programs or cash-back deals fordining out, entertainment, gasolineand shopping throughAmazon andother onlinemerchants.

If you think you can do better thanyour ownbank’s credit card offers,check out comparison sites such asLowCards.com, CreditCards.com,Credit Karma andNerdWallet.

What should you look for?Stickwith credits cards that don’t

require you to pay an annual fee forthe privilege of using the plastic.

With identity theft so prevalent,many card companies nowoffer freecredit scores andmonitoring servicesso you’re immediately alerted if there’stroublewith the account.Many startercards for students also offer cash bo-nuses or credits on your balance forgood grades.

If your studentwill be travelingabroad during this school year, con-sider cards that don’t charge trans-action fees— typically around 3 per-cent of a transaction—on purchasesmade in a foreign currency.

Bewary of appealing introductoryterms, such as zero percent interest onbalances for the first sixmonths. Frommyperspective, if you are just startingoutwith a credit card and are unablefrom the get-go to pay themonthlybalance in full, you shouldn’t have acard in the first place.

And even if your student pays themonthly credit card bill online, thestatement still needs to be scrutinizedformistakes.

Don’t let your student leave forschoolwithout going over the groundrules. Purchasesmust be paid in fulleverymonth and on time, and failureto do someans the plastic goes on ice.

And be sure to clarifywhat consti-tutes an emergency andwhat doesn’t.

Lay ground rulesfor your teen’sfirst credit card

Muchhas beenwritten about hiringanddeveloping top performers in theworkplace, but less attention has beenpaid to the effects of toxicworkers onorganizations.

The term “toxicworkers” is in vogue.Wehear it a lot. Butwho are they, really?

OneHarvard study exploring 50,000workers across 11 companies concludedthat a toxicworker “engages in behaviorthat is harmful to an organization, includ-ing either its property or people.”

Toxicworkers are not always low-functioning or low-status employees hid-ing in cubicles. They often are talentedandproductive peoplewho act out in theworstway and, froma business stand-point, can affect your bottom line. In fact,themorewell-educated,wealthy andprestigious they are, themore toxic theymay be.

The researchers for theHarvard studyoffered this statement: “Suchworkers cangenerate enormous regulatory and legalfees and liabilities for the firm.”

These damagingworkers adverselyaffect fellow co-workers or other com-pany assets and, say the authors, “cancausemajor organizational cost, includingcustomer loss, loss of employeemorale,increased turnover and loss of legitimacyamong important external stakeholders.”

Whether you sit up in theC-suite levelor downon the production floor, ignoringthe problem rather than exposing itwillonlymake itworse.

Here are five of themost glaring signsthat I have seen that confirmyouwork ina toxic office or company.

Gossip is spreadingThis is how toxicworkers actively act

out their unhappiness. They’ll congregatein hush-hush circles around cubicles aftermeetings to put a negative spin onwhatjust transpired or to crucifymanagementand company direction.

They’re basically corporate teenagerswhose timewith the company is about toexpire, and they rely on each other forstrength and safety. Keep a close eye outfor theirwhereabouts; theymay go out oftheirway to befriend newhires to vilifysomeone or something and spread theircancer.

Morale is at an all-time lowWhen you find listless and unmotivated

workers, look to toxicmanagement first.Discouragement and lack ofmotivation

usually indicate a fear-based culture thatdoes notwelcome employees to offer theirideas, input, creativity or strengths to theoverall company strategy because they aremerelyworker bees rather thanworthycolleagues and business partners in pro-ducing excellence. Thiswill suck the life,energy andmotivation straight out of anemployee.

Managers are dictators, not leadersExpanding on the last point, dictator

managers foster a toxic culture of distrustthatmakes it unsafe to disclose informa-tion orwork in close collaboration.

Job survival under a dictatorship isday-to-day, due to the unpredictability ofthe environment you’re in.

The human touch is lostPeople are considered to be objects or

expenses rather than assets, and there islittle concern for their happiness orwell-being. Their personal or family livesmustbe sacrificed for the job, as evidenced by50-hour-plusworkweeks, little or novacation time and 24/7 availability forwork communication.

Employees are pressured to competeagainst one another internally,which isenforced by individual performancemea-sures rather than teamperformance.There’s also little evidence of leaders’compassion and empathy for employees.

Health issues and absenteeismare on the rise

As a result of this soulless lack of hu-manity, toxicworkplaces are stressful andunhealthy. Over time, peoplewill breakdown and experience health issues, in-cluding physical (think fatigue) and emo-tional (think depression, burnout or anxi-ety). That results in loss of productivity.

Asmore people becomediscouragedand frustrated under the grip of a toxicworkplace, you’ll note a rise in anger,

conflict, irritability and blowups, not tomentionmore sick days, absenteeism,turnover and other problems.

It is everyone’s responsibility to keep afinger on the pulse of the organization tomake sure people are safe andnotworkingin a hostile environment. But if you’re thetarget of a toxicworker, there are a fewthings you can do to cope.

Rally like-minded colleagues you cantrustwho’ll become your allies andwatchyour back.

Avoid toxicworkers by creating phys-ical distance between themand you. Re-search indicates that if you’remore than100 feet away from somebody, theymightaswell be in another country.

Communicate assertivelywhendealingwith bullies and toxicworkers. State thefacts and document everything that goeson. And I domean everything.

Steer clear of the office gossip-mongers.Be professional, get yourwork done andgohome. Avoid confrontationwith a toxicworker, but if it finds you, don’t backdown. Bewilling to stand up for yourselfor the target on your backwill only getbigger. Justmake sure to pick your battleswisely.

Focus on the positive, and look for thegoodwork of others. Praise otherswhohave helped youwith a project or havedone outstandingwork; itmight encour-age other co-workers to do the same.

High cost of toxic workersSigns of problems thatcan affect bottom line

CHESTERF/DREAMSTIME

Q:Myson is onhisway to college thisfall. Canhe just stayonmyhealth insur-ancepolicywhenhe’s in college?

A:Health insurers that provide depend-ent coveragemust continue to cover adultchildren until they turn age 26. But youshould find outwhether your sonwill haveaccess to in-network providers after hegoes to college.

If your plan’s network extends to thecitywhere he’smoving, then staying onyour plan is usually his best bet. But if hisnewcity doesn’t have in-network pro-viders, hemayhavemuchhigher out-of-pocket costs or very limited coverage,depending on your type of plan.

Somepreferred-provider organizationplans provide coverage for out-of-networkproviders. But they usually charge higherco-payments, require bigger deductibles

and set a higher out-of-pocket spendinglimit for out-of-network providers (oftendouble the cap for in-network providers).Andmost healthmaintenance organiza-tion plans typically don’t provide any cov-erage for out-of-network providers, exceptin emergencies.

If your sonwon’t be near any in-net-work providerswhile at school, considerthe type of care hemight needwhile he’saway,whatwould happen if hewere to getsick or injured, andhowoftenhe’ll returnhome.

For instance, youmaywant to keephimon the family plan—even if itwill costmore— if he’s generally healthy and theschool allows students to be treated at thecampushealth clinic for aminimal charge,says LisaZamosky, senior director of con-sumer affairs for eHealthInsurance.com.

“In that case, he can get routine care atthe clinic andplan to handle other neces-sary visitswith his regular doctorwhilehomeon vacation,” she says. “In the case ofan emergency, theAffordableCareActrequires all emergency-roomvisits to becharged as in-network, regardless ofwhichERyou endup in.”

Another option is to buy campus insur-ance at his college. Compare the price ofthat coveragewith the cost of keeping himon your policy andpaying extra for anyout-of-network care or clinic visits.

He also could check out buying an indi-vidual health insurance policy throughyour state’s health insurance exchange.(Go toHealthcare.gov to find a link to yourstate’smarketplace.) If he’s still your de-pendent, hewon’t qualify for a govern-ment subsidy to helpwith the premiumsbased onhis own income. But it’s stillworthwhile to compare the costs andcoveragewith his other options.

Also, consider catastrophic plans,whichare available only to people younger thanage 30. “They offer the samepreventivecare and other benefits as otherACAplansbut comewith lower premiums andhigherdeductibles,” Zamosky says. (Catastrophicplans are not eligible for premiumsubsi-dies.)

Ed Schultz, a onetimesportscaster and conserva-tive radio talk showperson-ality who redefined himselfas an outspoken liberal onradio and TV and for yearshosted one of MSNBC’shighest-rated prime-timeprograms, died Wednesdayat his home in Washington.Hewas 64.

His son, professionalgolfer Dave Schultz, an-nounced the death. Thecause was not immediatelydisclosed.

Schultz was a collegefootball starwhowas forcedto reassess his future whenhe failed in his efforts tobecomeaplayer in theNFL.“It was the biggest disap-pointment I had ever had todeal with,” he told theMinneapolis Star-Tribunein 2011. “It took a few yearsbefore I realized there waslife after football.”

He soon found his nicheinbroadcasting, first asaTVsports reporter in Fargo,N.D., and later as a play-by-play football and basketballannouncer for North Da-kota StateUniversity.

In 1992 he began a con-servative political talk showon a Fargo radio station andbecame a High Plains ver-sion of Rush Limbaugh.Loud and aggressive on theair, he often railed at thehomeless and unemployed,saying, “How about gettinga job?”

“I was pretty much awarmonger and a prettygreedy guy,” he told TheWashingtonPost in 2005. “Ialways wanted to make asmuch money as I possiblycould and felt the down-trodden didn’t deserve abreak.”

During the 1990s,Schultz began a politicaltransformation after hemethis second wife, WendyNoack, a psychiatric nurse.

Their first luncheondate,Schultz wrote in his 2004autobiography, “StraightTalk From the Heartland,”tookplace at the cafeteria ofa Salvation Army homelessshelter,where sheworked.

He learned that many ofthe people he met at theshelter were veterans, writ-ing, “I got a lump in mythroat, and it wasn’t thebaloney (sandwich).”

By 2000, Schultz an-nounced that he had be-come a Democrat — al-though of the “gun-totin’,redmeat-eatin’ ” variety.

He considered himself aliberal, although he re-mainedopposedtoabortionrights.

“The Ed Schultz Show,”

his radio program originat-ing in Fargo, went intonational syndication in2004as oneof the country’sfew liberal radio talk shows.At its peak, the show hadmore than 3 million listen-ers aweekonmore than150stations.

Schultz became a consis-tent critic of the adminis-tration of George W. Bush,and he disparaged “therighties”of theconservativeTVand radio commentariatas “mean-spirited and in-tentionally dishonest.”

He aimed for working-class“JoeBeercan” listenershe believed had been ig-nored by the liberal elite.

Stylistically, his show re-sembled the conservativeprograms he challenged,with hard-rock and countrymusic fillers, all held to-gether by Schultz’s blustery,combative manner. Heoften interrupted his callersinmidsentencewithastern,“Wait a second!”

In 2009, Schultz movedtoNewYork tobecomehostof MSNBC’s “The EdShow” in the 9 p.m. Easterntime slot.

He brought a looselyscripted, free-flowing styleto the cable network andwas a resounding success inhis early years.

He scored higher ratingsthanhis opposite number atCNN,AndersonCooper, yethe was far behind his con-servative competitors onFoxNews.

Meanwhile, Schultz con-tinuedtohosthisdaily radioprogram, on which he de-nounced conservativebroadcaster Laura Ingra-ham in2011 as “a right-wingslut.”

He apologized in publicand voluntarily asked for aone-week suspension fromhisMSNBC show.

“Radio is about emotion,”he said. “That was a mo-ment when I got carriedawaywithmine.”

Over the next few years,Schultz’s ratings faltered asMSNBC moved his show

fromone time slot to anoth-er. “The Ed Show” wascanceled in 2015.

The following year heresurfaced as the anchor of“NewsWithEd Schultz” onRT America, a cable andonline network previouslyknown as Russia Today —and described by MichaelMcFaul, a former U.S. am-bassador to Russia, as “aninstrument of the Russianstate.”

At MSNBC, Schultz hadsaid Russian PresidentVladimir Putin was “crip-pling”his country, but inhisnew job he appeared toundergo yet another politi-cal change of heart.

“The Clinton camp istrying to do all it can toconnect Donald Trump toPutin,” he told the Postduring the2016presidentialcampaign. “They’re tryingto cast anyone on RT in anegative light. I think it’sdeplorable. We’re journal-ists.We’re fair.”

Edward Andrew Schultzwas born Jan. 27, 1954, inNorfolk, Va.

His father was an aero-nautical engineer, hismother a high school Eng-lish teacher.

As a quarterback at whatis now Minnesota StateUniversity Moorhead,Schultz led the NCAA’s Di-vision II in passing in 1977.He had tryouts with theOakland Raiders and NewYork Jets, then brieflyplayed pro football in Cana-da before beginning hisbroadcasting career in 1979.

Hismarriage toMaureenZimmerman ended in di-vorce. Survivors also in-clude five stepchildren.

Schultz never claimed tobe a Washington insider oran authority on politics.Instead he maintained thathe followed the same for-mula as Limbaugh andother talk show practitio-ners.

“It’s entertainment,” hetold the Los Angeles Timesin 2006. “It’s theater of themind. It’s pace and sound.”

LAS VEGAS — The Kings’four-year, $78 million offer sheetfor guard Zach LaVine had thepotential to drive a wedge be-tweenLaVine and theBulls.

But after the Bulls officiallymatched theoffer onSunday, bothsides say all iswell.

“I am happy,” LaVine saidSunday at the NBA SummerLeague. “I am in a really goodplace. I am extremely excited. Iam glad all the mayhem is over. Ireally didn’t have to deal with it —myagent dealtwith a lot of it. I ama happy man. I am ready to getback and I am happy to be able tocall Chicago home for a goodamount of time.”

While LaVine has told peopleinside and outside the organiza-tionhowmuchheenjoysChicago,there were some questions if hewould return to theBulls.

LaVine told ESPN’s The Unde-feated that he was “disappointedthat I had to get an offer sheetfrom another team.” He went onto tell ESPN, “It appears thatSacramento wants me more thanChicago.”

On Sunday, LaVine down-played that talk.

“I never had any bad willtowardsChicago,” he said.

As for the terms of his newcontract, he said, “You can’t bedisappointed with a number atthat level. ... That’s around thenumberwehad inmind.”

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg dis-missed the idea that there mightbe any lasting tensionbetween the

Joe Maddon flashed a smilethat speaks of the homestand hisCubs had just experienced, going7-1 despite trailing in every game.Nothing has been easy, whichwas partly why it was so sweet towatchJasonHeyward score from

The memory of that play wasfreshafter theCubsbeat theReds6-5 on a bases-loadedwalk in the10th inning. It was sure to beoften discussed on the flight toSanFrancisco.

Heyward seemed certain tojust stop at third base on the

Javier Baez single but kept mo-toring after a casual throw fromBilly Hamilton to second base-man Scooter Gennett, whoseemed flat-footed taking the lob.

Hamilton used his speed tobedevil the Cubs throughout theweekend series, and two inningsearlier had scored from first on astolen-base try that caused errors

by catcherWillsonContreras andcenter fielderAlbert Almora Jr.

DidHeyward get payback?“It kind of looked that way,

didn’t it?” Maddon said. “I had agreat read of it. (Heyward) waswatching the middle infielders.He saw when the ball got to

Jon Lester knew hewas in line to be namedto the National LeagueAll-Star team. The sur-prise came when fansvoted catcher WillsonContreras and secondbaseman Javier Baezinto the starting lineup.

Contreras had en-tered the final round ofvoting second to theGiants’ Buster Posey by144,499 votes. Baez hadbeen behind theBraves’ Ozzie Albiesand the Reds’ ScooterGennett among secondbasemen but closed agap of 270,297 to grabthe starting job for theNL.

Both Baez and Contreras arethrilled to be first-timeAll-Stars.

“Iwasn’t really following (vot-ing),’’ Baez said Sunday after the

Cubs’ 6-5, 10-inningvictory over the Reds.“Iknowwehavea lotoffans and they dedicatea lot of time to us, towhatwe do outside thefield. I feelblessed tobehere in this spot.’’

Lester (11-2, 2.85ERA) was voted ontothe team by his fellowNL players. He’ll makehis fifth trip to theAll-Star Game and saidhehasn’t thoughtaboutwhether he wants topitch or use the three-day break to rechargefor the secondhalf.

He’s especiallyhappy to have Contr-eras accompanyinghim. When David Rossretiredafter 2016, somewondered how Lester

hewas blamed for the firing of then-coachPaulWesthead just 11 games into the 1981-82 season. In reality, Buss had alreadydecided tomake a change, and Johnson’scomplaints simply facilitated that change.Johnsonwas larger than life, but hewasnever larger thanBuss.

ShaquilleO’Neal tried to run theLakers,loudly demanded that the owner pay him,andBuss sighed and shippedhimout.

KobeBryant tried a different type ofpower play, loudly demanded the ownertrade him, andBusswisely refused andbuilt twomore titles aroundhim.

Heck, for aminute, evenLaVarBall triedto run theLakers, and that lasted until hisoldest son started clanking shots andhisself-involved act turned into a clown show.

Noplayer has ever run theLakers, butJames is going to try, andwhile his resumegives him that right, it also raises the ex-pectations that itwillwork.

Check that. Itmustwork.

LOSANGELES—Aweekhas passed, thecheers bursting outacross SouthernCali-fornia in little geysers ofjoy, an exclamation inthe grocery store line, afist bump at the coffeeshop, a toast from thecorner of the bar.

LeBron James is really going to be aLaker.He’s really coming here.Hastilystitched “23”T-shirts are hanging in sport-ing goods stores. Amural at BabyBluesBBQ inVenice features a drawing of Jamesin a Lakers jersey reading “TheKing ofL.A.” It’s absolutely not a dream.

But aweek has passed, and now it’s timeto check reality.

James is nowgoing to be surrounded bypressure, the sort that could have beengauged over theweekend by steppingoutside anywhere in SouthernCalifornia.

That kind of heat.If James is indeed going to be theKing of

LA, sometime in his potentially four sea-sons here, hemust lead theLakers to atleast one championship.

Itmight not sound fair. Itmight feel likeit’s asking oneman to drag a franchise fromzero to 60 in a basketball heartbeat.

But it’s the reality of his status, his his-tory andhis newfound control of LosAn-geles’most popular sports team. If basket-ball’s greatest playerwants to be consid-ered a truly great Laker, he has to guide theLakers to championship greatness, period,end of legacy.

At least one title. That is James’man-date.Wilt, Kareem,Magic, Shaq, Kobe,they all put a ring on this town. All but onetruly iconic Laker haswon at least one title,and the outlierwasElginBaylor, but hewas still part of a championship because heretired nine games into the 1971-72 titleseason.

Nobody is expecting it to happen inJames’ first seasonhere.Not in the power-houseWest.Notwith this still developingteam.

If theymake the playoffs andwin at leastone round and challenge for theWesternConference finals, it has been a success.

TheLakers having the salary-cap spacefor James to attract another superstar herenext summer changes the stakes. Theexpectations for at least one championshiparrive as soon as next season andwill re-main until he leaves.

At least one ring. It’s James’ heat, be-

cause theLakers basketball operation isnowclearly his operation.

There’s nomore pressure onMagicJohnson.He’s splendidly done his job,fulfilled the reasonhewas hired.He didn’tjust sign James for his skills but for hisvision, andhe’s smartly going to defer to aguywho sawhisway to eight consecutivefinals and three titles.

This is not a hostile takeover. TheLakersare giving their ball to James and seeingwhat he can dowith it. It’s an understand-ablemove. It’s also one that puts the onusdirectly on him.

LeBron is not only a Laker, but, for aslong as he is here, the Lakers are LeBron.

What James is being empowered to do,incidentally, has never been done. Fromthe time JerryBuss established himself asthe boss, no single player has ever beenable to completely run this legendary fran-chise.

Magic Johnsonnever did, even though

LASVEGAS—DanielCormier hung both ofhisUFCbelts over hisshoulders Saturdaynight and proclaimedthe long-awaited own-ership of somethingmore.

“I hold all the cards now,”Cormiersaid. “Tonight ... almost feels like des-tiny.”

At 39, after being tortured by twolosses to former light-heavyweightchampion Jon Jones (one overturned bya Jones positive drug test last year),Cormier claimed the signature victoryof his career atUFC226 by knockingout heavyweight champion StipeMio-cic (18-3) in the first round.

By joiningConorMcGregor as theonlymenwho’ve simultaneouslyworntwobelts, Cormier (21-1) is armed todictate the terms for the remainder ofhis career.

Hehas another lucrative superfightcoming against former heavyweightchampion and currentWWEperformerBrockLesnar next year.

Andhewill ponder long andhardwhether hewants to again fight Jones,whodefeatedCormier first in 2015 intheUFC’s pre-U.S. Anti-DopingAgencydays, then causedCormier to take apurse reduced by $1millionwhenhetested positive two years ago before aplanned fight.

Askedhowhe could justify taking afightwithLesnar,whohas towait outhis ownUSADA-mandated six-monthtesting period after a 2016 positive test,Cormier said: “We’re living inmyworldnow, so I dictate the rules. Plus, I reallydon’t like Jones.”

Lesnar entered the cagemomentsafterCormier’s fight ended, and theyengaged in awrestling-style argument,including a shove fromLesnar and abrief skirmish between entourages.Cormier insisted the exchangewasn’tstaged.

“Brock decided to step in the octagonwithme,” Cormier said. “He’s a prowrestler.He does fake fighting. So I’ll dofake fightingwith youuntil I putmyfists upside your face.”

SAMARA,Russia—Itwas just about theonly thing Jordan Pickford got wrong allgame.

“It was a daft injury by myself,” theEngland goalkeeper recounted. “I went topunch the (ground) and ended uppunching my knee and hurt my thumb. Itwas a bit of anger. But I’m a man, not amouse. I’m fine and I’ll live another day,won’t I?”

Pickford left Samara Stadium on Sat-urday with a heavily bandaged left hand, aglass vase to commemorate a player-of-the-match performance in England’sWorld Cup quarterfinal win over Sweden,and with his newfound status as the prideof a nation.

The global reputation of English goal-keepers has taken a battering in recentyears but Pickford is reshaping opinionswith his standout performances in Eng-land’s surprising run to the World Cupsemifinals inRussia.

Four days after beingEngland’s penalty-shootout star against Colombia in theround of 16, the 24-year-old Pickfordproduced threebrilliant, one-handedsavesin a 2-0 win over Sweden to ensure histeam ultimately enjoyed smooth progressto a semifinalmatch against Croatia.

The only previous England goalkeepersto appear on such a stage were GordonBanks — theWorld Cupwinner from 1966— and Peter Shilton, a veteran of 125international caps who was 40 when heplayed in the 1990 World Cup semifinalloss toWestGermany.

They are England’s two greatest goal-keepers. The way Pickford’s career isprogressing, he could be joining that elitegroup.

Pickford is the most expensive Britishgoalkeeper inhistory, after joiningPremierLeague teamEverton fromSunderland lastyear for a fee that could rise to $38.3million, and the third costliest goalkeeperever after Italy great Gianluigi Buffon andBrazil’s Ederson Moraes of ManchesterCity.

He is breaking the mold. Away from hisagility and shot-stopping, no previousEnglish goalkeeper has showed suchcomposure and technical ability with hisfeet, a trait that England manager GarethSouthgate sees as vital for his team’sapproach.

“Pickford, forme, is sortof theprototypeof what a modern goalkeeper should be,”Southgate said.

Against Sweden, some of the clippedpasses Pickford made to his wingbacks,KieranTrippier andAshleyYoung,were asgood as any of England’s ball-playingmidfielders could produce.

“To be able to play the way that I thinkwewant to play going forward,” Southgatesaid, “weneed goalkeepers of that ilk.”

Whatever happens in the semifinals orpotentially the final, Pickfordwill return toEngland as one of the team’s star perform-ers in Russia. The abiding memory willlikely be an acrobatic save against Colom-bia that saw him tip Mateus Uribe’sdipping long-rangeeffortonto thecrossbarat full stretch.

It might even rival Banks’ storied savefrom Brazil great Pele in the 1970 WorldCup.The main criticism aimed at Pickfordat this World Cup was his failure to stopAdnan Januzaj’s curling shot that earnedBelgium a 1-0 win over England in thegroup stage. The ball almost went over thehead of Pickford, who dived to his rightand attempted the savewith his left hand.

Pickford is 6-foot-1, which is relativelyshort for an elite goalkeeper, and Belgiumgoalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said: “Iwould have caught it. He was too busythrowing his legs in the air.”

Pickford has shown since then that hemakes up for his lack of height with agilityand speed across his line. Just ask SwedishplayersMarcusBerg andViktorClaesson.

England is just hoping Pickford’s thumbheals in time forCroatia.

HOUSTON—The routine hasbecome familiar to theWhite Soxin this season of discontent.

Lose a ballgame, trudge to theclubhouse, stare at your smartphonewhile sitting at your locker,take a shower, head back to theteamhotel or your home and tryto forget about it.

Being one of theworst teams inbaseball can be pure drudgery.

But every day brings a newopportunity to get it right, and theSox came into Sunday’s seriesfinale against theAstros hoping toavoid a sweep and end amisera-ble trip on a high note.

Amazingly, theymanaged toleavewith some sense of satis-faction, even after a 2-1 loss thatleft them2-8 on the trip and30-60 for the season.

The reason for that optimismwas the performance of LucasGiolito,who allowed two runs ontwohits over 71⁄3 innings in hisbest start of the season.

“Todaywas a tremendouslypositive day for us asmuch as theoverall picture is very difficult towatch,”managerRickRenteriasaid. “But that outing for us, towatch himdowhat he did for ustoday ... Andnowwe’re starting tosee a couple kids like (ReynaldoLopez) doing the same things.Some thingswe’re trying to chipaway at seem to beworking, sowe’re optimistic.”

The Sox finished the seasonseries 0-7 against theAstros, thefirst time they’d been swept byHouston in a season series of sixormore games. Itwas also thefirst time theywere swept in aseries atMinuteMaidPark.

Of amore immediate concernwas the delicate right hamstringofAvisail Garcia,whowas re-moved in the sixthwith tightness.Renteria said itwas precaution-ary, butGarcia justmissed twomonthswith the injury, so therehas to be some concern, right?

“He’s had it lingering a little,beenworking on it, doing every-thing, all his exercises tomaintainhimself,” Renteria said. “He’sbeen runningwell. But if he feelsany little thingwe’re cognizant ofthe fact he’s beenmanaging it awhile andwewanted tomakesure it didn’t escalate.”

Still, the story of the daywasGiolito,who came inwith ama-jor-league-worst 6.93ERA.Healsowas at the bottom inWHIP(1.62) andWAR (-0.8).

The Sox knowGiolito has theability to succeed. Last year theright-hander allowed twoorfewer runs in five of his sevenstarts after a lateAugust call-up,with a 2.38ERA.

Giolitowalked the first batter,George Springer, on four pitchesbefore hittingAlexBregman toput himself in a first-inning jamonce again. Same oldGio?

Not quite.Hemanaged to getout of it and didn’t allow ahituntil JoseAltuve’s solo home runon the first pitch of the fourthinning. The only other hit cameon a suicide squeeze in the eighthbyMarwinGonzalez that broughthome thewinning run.

“I’mdisappointed inmyself,”Giolito said. “I hadhim0-2whenthewinning run scored, hewasstill bunting and Iwas supposedto execute a pitch up in the zone.

Itwas up in the zone but kind ofin easy bunting territory. Itwassupposed to be higher than that.

“So thatmistake and the homerun toAltuve— twomistakeskind of gotme. But I’mhappywith how I pitched, for sure.Something to build off of,makingan adjustment after the first in-ning andworking from there.”

Many fans frustrated byGioli-to’s seasonhavewonderedwhyit’smore beneficial to let him takehis lumpswith the Sox instead offiguring things out inTripleA.

“Because the benefitswould bethe reality that you are dealingwithmuchmore impressiveat-bats,which are the ones he’sgoing to have to be dealingwith inorder to compete andhave suc-cess here at themajor-leaguelevel,” Renteria said. “Those arethe discoveringmoments for him.

“He’s finding out how toma-neuver throughmoments likethat. Sowhynot allowhim to doit against the best?We are tryingto find out asmuch as possibleabout each one of them, and theyare trying to find outwho they arethemselves.”

The Sox continue to search forthemselves. One of these daysthey justmight find it.

Paul SullivanOn the White Sox

the last White Sox to start in theAll-Star Game or for the fans tovote him into the All-Star Game,”Abreu said.

“That made this moment evengreater. Like I always said, I like torepresent this organization. I liketo wear these colors. I always domybest to represent this team. It’sa really, really big honor. Whenyou receive news like this, it’s likea relief.”

Abreuwas selected as a reservefor theALsquadduringhis rookieseason in2014,going0-for-1withaflyout against TonyWatson in theAL’s 5-3win.

He’s in one of theworst slumpsof his career, hitting .183 (28-for-153) in 40 games sinceMay 27after going 2-for-23 in his last sixgames of the trip.

Manager Rick Renteria said hedidn’t believe Abreu’s bat speedhad slowed and that the problemwasmoremental.

nition like that, it’s special, eventhough I’m passing through atough time. It’s something youappreciate.”

Abreu finished with more than1.8 million votes to hold off theAstros’ Yuli Gurriel by more than175,000.

Abreu thanked the fans, theorganization and even the Chi-cagomedia for the honor.

“And my family, of course,” hesaid. “They are my strength andsupport me every time. They aremymotivation.”

Abreu, 31, is the first Soxposition player voted into thestarting lineup in 22 years, sinceFrank Thomas was the AL starterat first in 1996. Pitcher Chris Salestarted for the AL in 2017, andMarkBuehrle started in ’05.

“Itmeansa lotwhenyourealizeall the time that has passed since

“I think he’s trying to carry aheavy load, to behonest,”Renteriasaid. “As much of a professionalhitter as he is, I still think he takesa lotonhisshoulders.Forhim, thisis really a situation in which he’strying to do a lot for many people,so he’s got a lot on his plate. I feelthat he’ll get past that and under-stand what he needs to do, andhe’ll be the same ‘Pito.’ ”

After leaving Cuba and estab-lishing himself in the majors,Abreu has embraced playing onthe South Side, even through thelosing years.

In his mind, this was a win forhimand the Sox organization.

“You are maybe having a toughtime and you have news like this,it’s a relief,” he said. “It’s some-thing that helps you to keepmoving forward.”

The Cubs and Reds tradedpunches all weekend, with Sun-day’s game not decided untilDavid Botewaswalked by rookieJackson Stephens with the basesloaded in the 10th inning. AdamDuvall had tied it in the ninthwith a blast into the left-fieldseats off BrandonMorrow.

Because they had trailed 3-2 inthe fourth inning, after EugenioSuarez’s homer against JonLester, this marked the ninthtime in 11 games that the Cubshave come back to win. Theyremained 11⁄2 games behind theBrewers in the National LeagueCentral but have gone 15-5 intheir last 20 games at WrigleyField, putting a spring in theirstep a week before the All-Starbreak.

The Cubs battledHamilton allweekend. The Reds center field-er was 7-for-10 with five stolenbases and four runs scored fromtheNo. 9 spot in JimRiggleman’slineup.The cherry on topwashisdashing from center field to graba ball lost in the sun by rightfielder Scott Schebler in Sat-urday’s game.

“That was outstanding,” Mad-don said. “I’m a big Billy Hamil-ton fan. I really am. Defensivelyhe’s as good as it gets out there.Hethrowswell,playswitha lotofenergy. Not a lot of guys wouldhave gotten over there to protecthis (teammate) like he did. I’m abig fan.”

Using a five-man infield at onepoint, the Reds escaped a bases-loaded, one-out situation in theninth. But Stephens got himselfinto trouble by walking Contr-eras to start the 10th.He followedit with a wild pitch, then struckoutVictorCaratini.

Riggleman intentionallywalked Ian Happ. Addison Rus-sell appeared to ground to Joey

Votto for the second out, but theCubs successfully appealed thatVotto had lost control of the ballbefore stepping on first as hereached intohisglove for theball.

Bote tookahigh, inside fastball

with a 3-2 count to score Contr-erasandsetoffacelebrationfromthe crowdof 38,655.

Cubs manager Joe Maddonhas said he considers Contrerasthe best catcher in the majorleagues, and reiterated that Sun-day.

Extra innings: Left-handed re-liever Brian Duensing, on thedisabled list with shoulder fa-tigue, threw a bullpen session atWrigley Field on Sunday morn-ing and accompanied Bryant toKnoxville, Tenn., for a rehabassignment. … The Cubs placedright-hander Anthony Bass onthe disabled list with an illnessand added right-hander JamesNorwood in his place.

WHITE SULPHURSPRINGS, W.Va. — Kevin Narode a hot putter to halt awinless streak of nearly sev-en years on thePGATour.

Na shot a 6-under-64 Sun-day for a five-stroke victoryin A Military Tribute at TheGreenbrier. The only previ-ous tourwin forNa, 34, cameinLasVegas inOctober 2011.

“I wasn’t sure if it wasgoing to come again,” Nasaid. “I was hoping it would—sooner than later. I’vebeenclose somany times, failed somany times.”

En route to shooting 74and finishing at 1-under 279,Phil Mickelson broke therules again—but this timehedidn’t realize it until after hisviolation.

Mickelson tamped downfescue grass with his foot infront of the seventh tee, thencalled a two-stroke penaltyon himself for improving hisline of play. Mickelson saidhe “wasn’t really thinking.”

At the U.S. Open lastmonth,Mickelson intention-ally violated the rules byhitting a moving ball on thegreen.He later apologized.

Na has had three dozentop-10 finishes since his vic-tory.He tied for secondat theGenesis Open in January,two shots back. In late Mayhe shot 61 in the first roundof the Fort Worth Invita-tional to match the courserecord and finished fourth.

Na finished at 19-under261and improved40spots toNo. 18 in the FedEx Cupstandings. Kelly Kraft (70)finished second at 14 under.Brandt Snedeker (64) andJason Kokrak (67) tied forthird at 13 under.

Na birdied six of his first10 holes, including putts of24, 33 and 43 feet.

“Every time I got over theball it felt great, and every-thing felt like itwasgoing in,”Na said.

Bulls and LaVine over howthe negotiation played out.

“Zach is a great kid,”Hoiberg said Sunday afterpractice in Las Vegas. “He isa great teammate andwe aregoingtomoveforwardwithadirection with this younggroup of guys that Zach is ahuge part of, obviously.”

LaVine came to the Bullslast year as a part of the tradethat sent Jimmy Butler andthe 2017 No. 16 pick to theTimberwolves. InadditiontoLaVine, the Bulls receivedthe No. 7 pick, which theyused to draft Lauri Markka-nen.

“We were excited lastsummer when we got adynamic athlete in ZachLaVine through the trade,and we’re excited now thatwe get to keep him,” execu-tive vice president JohnPax-son said in a statement.

“I think we’re all veryexcited about Zach comingback as a Bull and being herelong term,” Hoiberg said.“He’s a 23-year-old, he’s gotas good of athleticism as

anybody in this league. Heshoots the ball easy, I thinkhe’s going to be in greatshape coming off a full sum-mer where he’s (playing)basketball as opposed to re-hab. Sowe’re going to be in agood place heading into theseason with hopefully a fullcomplement of healthy play-ers.”

LaVine spent the earlypart of last season recoveringfrom ACL surgery beforemaking his Bulls debut at theUnited Center on Jan. 13,2018. He started 24 gamesand averaged 16.7 points, 3.9rebounds and three assistsper game. LaVine’s new con-tract likely includes languagethatprotects theBulls incasehis surgically repaired kneedevelops further complica-tions.

With a number of injurieslast season and multiplerookies added to the mix,Hoiberg is still evaluatinghow his young team willcome together. He said hesees LaVine as a good fit forthe young, athletic team theorganization is working tobuild.

“Now that he has a tasteand feel for how we want toplay, tohavethat full summerleading into training campthis year is very important,”Hoiberg said. “We feel thatwe are further ahead of thegame than we were last yearbecause of the fact that wehave a good group of guyscoming back that have beenin the system. We are goingto build on the good timesthat we had with Zach andtry to hit the ground runningwith him. ... It’s an excitingtime.”

Even with the match, theBulls could have up to $19million of salary-cap space ifthey choose to operate as anunder-the-cap team the restof the offseason. That as-sumes they renounce therights toNoahVonleh,whichis a formality. If they chooseto operate as anover-the-capteam, they havemultiple capexceptions available to themfor futuremoves.

Such matchups could hap-pen with greater frequency asparenthood becomes increas-ingly popular on the women’stennis tour.

There were a half-dozenmothers in the singles maindraw at the All England Clubthis year: 23-time Grand Slamchampion Williams; anotherformer No. 1 and two-timemajor champ, VictoriaAzarenka; Rodina, KaterynaBondarenko, Tatjana MariaandVeraZvonareva.

Two more moms enteredthe doubles event, MandyMinella and Maria Jose Mar-tinez Sanchez. A ninth, PattySchnyder, lost during singlesqualifying.

“At different points, we’vehad one or two mothers at atime,” said Kathleen Stroia,WTA Senior VP for sportsciences and medicine. “Andthen it has grown to three orfour mothers. And now wehave more, at present, thanwe’ve had in the past.”

Other Grand Slam title win-ners who were mothers whenthey won include MargaretCourt, Evonne Goolagong andKimClijsters.

“Thedifference,” Stroia said,“is now it’s becoming com-mon.”

Williams, 36, is competing inher second major tournamentsince having a daughter,Olympia, in September. Moth-erhood is an important part ofwho she is now.

Williams has spoken openlyabout a health scare duringchildbirth. About gainingweight while breast-feeding.About the joys of bringing herchild onsite to a tournamentfor the first time. About thedifficulty of dividing her timebetween family and forehands.About the precedent The AllEnglandClubmade by seedingher 25th based on past successthat includes seven Wimble-don titles, even though shewasrankedoutsidethetop150aftermissing more than a full sea-son, first while pregnant, thenafter giving birth.

“It will be really nice forthese women to take a year off,and have the most amazingthing in the world,” Williamssaid, “then come back to theirjob and not have to start fromthe bottom, scrape, scrape,scrape.”

She tweeted over the week-end about missing the chanceto see Olympia take her firststeps, because it happenedduring a training session.

What working parent can’trelate to that?

Rodina, a 29-year-old quali-fier from Russia, said that atother tournaments, she’llsometimes leave her51⁄2-year-old daughter in theplayers’ lounge with an iPad tokeep her occupied. She saidthat’s better than having her inthe stands during a match,whichmakes her too nervous.

The WTA leaves it up toindividual tournaments onwhether to provide childcare.

Asked whether the WTAmight require or encouragetournaments to provide suchservices, Stroia said the tourwill “evolve with the growingneeds of the players.”

“I hope something willchange,”Maria said. “You needsome big names to help. IfSerena comes and says, ‘I wantto have a creche,’ maybe it’llwork.”

BEARS

COUNTDOWN TO BOURBONNAIS 10 DAYS TO GO

First in a series of two-a-day position previews Coming Tuesday: Running backs and inside linebackers

What to like: Akiem Hicks and Eddie Goldman have developed aformidable partnership. Goldman missed 10 games in 2016 (ankle),which was Hicks’ first year with the Bears. But an extended run ofgood health last season provedwhat’s possible in 2018with the two ofthem anchoring the run defense. Goldman ismore disciplined stayingin his gap, butHicks led the teamwith 15 tackles for loss.

“They both know they’ve got each other’s backs,” defensive linecoach Jay Rodgers said. “If somebody screws up, hopefully the otherguy can overcome it.”

Hicks and Goldman are strong enough at the point of attack tocommand double teams, but opposing offensive lines can’t double-team them both on every snap. Occasionally last season, they tookturns exploiting single blocks and re-establishing the line ofscrimmage. In sub packages, when Hicks and Goldman are the twodefensive tackles, they can push the interior pocket and work theirrushes off each other.

Biggest question:CanGoldman’spass-rushproductioncompensateforwhatever theBears lack outside?

It’s no secret the Bears are patching together an outside pass rusharound Leonard Floyd. For the rush to be effective overall, though,they’ll needGoldman to improveonhis 11⁄2 sacks fromlast season.TheBears, at least, aren’t overly concerned about that lownumber.

“Therewerea lotofopportunities forproduction forhim,buta lotofpeople got there before he did,” Rodgers said. “His presence in themiddle is feltwhenhe’s in there, sowe feel good about it.”

Goldman has improved, Rodgers said, in complementing his powerwith finesse.

“What he has done is be able to move his feet, work his hips,”Rodgers said. “Hehas been consistentwithhis hands,working aroundthe edges. You’re seeing more of that. I think the thing you don’t seeverymuch is howmuch he affects the pocket, as opposed to the sacksthat he’s getting. So you’re seeing a lot more production in terms ofaffecting the pocket than you are necessarily getting the quarterbackdown.”

Fresh face: Drafting Nichols required a significant projection for hisNFL potential, not only because he played at the FCS level, but alsobecause Delaware’s defense featured a three-man rush in whichNichols was at the center. Their scheme required him to absorbdouble- and triple-teams.

“In Delaware, we were a lot more patient waiting for blocks,”Nichols explained. “Here, they want you to knock guys back and thenget up the field. That’s something that I really like a lot.”

Rodgers worked out Nichols privately before the draft. In additionto liking Nichols’ loose hips and accurate hands, he’s excited byNichols’work ethic andunselfish attitude.

“We have a little box in the draft room called our ‘gears,’ ” Rodgerssaid. “He has got all the gears. He has got all the … certain traits you’relooking for that don’t have to dowith football.”

You should know: Goldman is entering the final year of his rookiecontract. There’s a realistic chance the Bears will re-sign their 2015second-round pick before the regular season begins, similarly to howthey handled new contracts for Hicks and left tackle Charles Leno Jr.last year.

The Bears will gauge Goldman’s fitness and performance throughtraining camp. If they present an offer to buy Goldman out of freeagency, it would be less than what Goldman would earn on the openmarket — a discount that would still equate to financial security forGoldman,whohas never played 16 games in a season.

Quote of note: “For us, I think the biggest difference is having anoffense that’s going to score in the first half.”—Hicks

Big number: 48.2— Percentage of snaps Unrein played last season inthe 12 games before he went on injured reserve. That void, mostly inthe base package, created by Unrein’s departure must be filled byBullard andRobertson-Harris.

What to like: The Bears return four of their five main starters from2017 — left tackle Charles Leno Jr., right tackle Bobby Massie, centerCody Whitehair and right guard Kyle Long — and add a promisingnewcomer inDaniels.VeteranguardEricKushreturnsaftermissingallof 2017 with a torn hamstring, while swing tackle Bradley Sowell isback after signing a two-year contract.

The Bears hope Hiestand, who coached the Bears offensive linefrom 2005 to ’09 before spending eight years coaching in college, canget themost out of both the established anddeveloping players.

“He’s the difference,” Leno said. “He’s going to push us. …Everybody’s coming to work every single day grinding, trying to getbetterat something,whether it’sputtingyourhands insideorhandsup,whatever itmay be.He’s pushing us to do that.”

Leno has started 45 straight games and hasn’t missed a snap since2015, providing at the very least a steady presence after signing afour-year, $38 million extension last season. But he will also look toclean up his play after committing 13 penalties in 2017. Massie, whoenters the final season of his three-year contract, missed only the finalgame of 2017with a knee injury.

TheBears are keepingWhitehair at center to openhis third trainingcamp rather than push Daniels into the position immediately as arookie.

After a promising rookie year in 2016, Whitehair characterized hissecond season as “up and down a little bit,” including some snappingissues, two fumbles and seven penalties. But he thinks a year ofexperienceworkingwith quarterbackMitchTrubisky should help.

“I just want to work on being a little more consistent this year,”Whitehair said. “But toward the end of the season, I kind of got in agroove and felt better.”

Biggest question:Will Long return healthy and stay thatway?He has missed 14 games the last two seasons because of injuries,

finishingbothyearson injuredreserve.After2016anklesurgery,hehadneck, shoulder and elbow surgeries this offseason and was limitedduring organized teamactivities inMay and June.

Nagy said on the final day ofminicamp that Long should be “good togo” for the start of camp. The Bears are better with a healthy Long onthe field, but so far this year he has been relegated to helping the newlinemen.

“He really wants to be good,” Hiestand said. “He’s fun to be around.He comes in the meeting room every day with a smile on his face,looking forward to working. He’s very interested in helping the otherguys. After I’ll say something, the meeting will break and they’ll bewalking out to get a break andhe’ll be talking out therewith the youngguys. That part’s been really good about him.”

Fresh face: Daniels is only 20, so theBears see room for growth in theNo. 39 pick, an athletic playerwhohas beenwell-coached.

Hiestand and Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz both were schooled underthe late JoeMoore, andDaniels was taught at Iowamany of the thingsHiestand values in developing linemen. That has helped the union getoff to a good start.

“He understands how to block,” Hiestand said. “You put on the filmand you know exactly what you’re getting. That just jumped out.…Allthe things we teach — leverage, running guys off the ball, acceleratingoncontact, allof the littledetails thatcamefromJoe—Jamesdoesrightnow.He’s a tremendous athlete that knowshow to block.”

You should know:Players sayHiestand brings accountability.“He’s one of the best I’ve ever learned from,” Whitehair said. “He’s

verydetail-oriented, and thathelpsus out.He just focuses on thedetailand technique constantly every day. He doesn’t let much slide, andthat’s a big thing, accountability.”

Quote of note: “I told the guys, ‘When we get it done here, you’regoing to see the city likewe’ve never seen it.’ I remember that. So that’swhatwe’re after.”—Hiestand on returning to theBears and theNFL

Big number: 39—Sacks theBears allowed in 2017, 15th in theNFL.

ORWIGSBURG, Pa.— Inside the loggymnasium thatwas this rustic trainingcamp’s centerpiece, in the small roomwhereMuhammadAli got rubdowns on anold yellow couch, dozens ofmessages,etched into pinewalls like hieroglyphics,tell the story of the legendary boxer’s ten-ure at this remote Schuylkill County hide-away.

Dismayed, for example, by a loss sixmonths earlier to Leon Spinks and bywhatthe scale had just revealed, the 36-year-oldAli carved hisweight and frustration intothewoodwhile training for the Sept. 15,1978, rematch.

“8-8-78. At 227 3⁄4!”Other inscriptions, faded by time, are

nowbeing deciphered as part of amajorrestoration of theDeer LakeTrainingCamp,whichAli built and inhabited formuch of the 1970s and towhich, untilParkinson’s diseasemade it impossible, heoften returned.

The newowner of the six-acre propertyat the piney crest of SculpsHill Road envi-sions the restored camp as amuseum-educational center-corporate retreat-tourist attraction, a placewhere school-children and others can learn aboutAli,who in 21 explosive years as a professionalfighter became the best-knownperson onthe planet.

“We’d like to create somethingwherefuture generations can get a feel forwhothismanwas andwhat he did in theworldof sports and society,”MikeMadden said.“What else is there like this place? Peoplego to halls of fame atCanton orCoopers-townor Springfield to see various things,but it’s all right here. This iswhere it hap-pened.”

Madden, 54, the son of longtimeNFLcoach and broadcaster JohnMadden, is anunlikely savior for the camp situated in thehills betweenReading andPottsville on theedge of the state’s coal regions. Thoughhe’d grownupwith anAli poster in hisbedroom, the bald, beefyCalifornia realestate investor had never heard ofDeerLake until the 2016 day his boyhood idoldied.

“Mydadwas in the hospital recoveringfromhip surgery and Iwas visitingwhen Isawon theESPN ticker thatMuhammadAli just passed away,”Madden recalled in aphone conversation. “Driving home, Iwaslistening to talk radio, and all these guysweremessing uphis story. I lived throughthat history and thought, ‘If this is howhistory iswritten, it’s horrible.’

“So Iwent home andGoogled some stuffaboutAli, and one of the storiesmade areference toDeer Lake. I couldn’t get it outofmyhead. I had to see it.”

Soon afterwardMadden took a red-eyeflight east andwalked the site extensively.Within sixmonths, andwithout a specificplan, he’d purchased it fromaReadingkarate instructor for $520,000.

Following settlement,Madden called histhen-80-year-old father,who coinciden-tallywas sitting in his California officewithTroyAikman, lamenting the fact that greatsports figures such asVinceLombardi andSugarRayRobinsonwere being forgotten.

“I knewhehad a photo ofAli there, so Iaskedhim to turn around and look at it,”MikeMadden recalled. “I said, ‘Do you see

he’s smiling?Well, that’s becausewe’regoing to have a hand in preserving hishistory.’ AndDad said, ‘Well, damn it,somebodyhas to do it.’ ”

For eight years, boxing’s self-proclaimed“King of theWorld” trained in this off-the-grid locale.Hemingled easilywith thelocals and they grewused to him, his col-orful entourage andhis Rolls-Royce. Some-times onhis early-morning runs, young-sterswould jog behindhim.One cancer-stricken boywas especially close, visitingAli often. At the boy’s funeral, a photo he’dtakenwith the champ rested in his casket.

From 1972 through 1980,Deer Lakewasopen to theworld. Its unfettered accessdrew fans and journalists fromall over theworld. Even after Ali retired, devoteescontinued to come.

“Peoplewere always popping in andout,” said SamMatta, a former sportswriterwho is the camp’smanager. “Can you imag-ineTomBrady or LeBron Jamesworkingout someplacewhere people could comeand see them?They’dwalk away. But evenwhenhewas themost famous person onearth,Muhammadwelcomed everyone.”

Until going to Schuylkill County, Ali—then living inCherryHill—had trained inMiami, but costswere high anddistrac-tions numerous. Impressed by a visit toArchieMoore’s SaltMine campnear SanDiego, Ali asked businessmanagerGeneKilroy, a native of nearbyMahanoyCity, tofind a similar,more suitable venue.

Kilroy, once dubbed “TheFacilitator” ona Sports Illustrated cover, knewaPottsvilleboxingmanager namedBernie Pollack,who ownedwhat had been amink farm.Ali visited the secluded site and bought itfor $10,000.

“Hewas happy atDeer Lake,” saidKil-roy, 76,who lives in LasVegas. “He loved it.All the houses he bought, someone elselived there first. This is something he cre-ated.

“He cut the logs, he knewwhat kind ofgymhewanted— itwas his own creation.And itwas just far enough off the beatentrack to keep a lot of people away.”

While the camp’s 13 buildingswerebeing constructed, Ali resided in a trailerand trained inReading, 30miles to thesoutheast. Once settled in, he reveled inDeer Lake’s spartan lifestyle.

“Therewere trees down there,” saidMatta, pointing toward a valley to thewest.

“Hewould go downwith an ax and cutthemdown.Well, the guywhoowned theland and the trees sued.Muhammad even-tually settledwith him for something like$2,500.”

By the end of the ’70s, bothAli andDeerLakewere fraying. Thoughhis last fight,forwhichhe trained in theBahamas, tookplace in 1981, the boxermaintained owner-ship for years.He sold it in the 1990s toReading karate instructorGeorgeDillman,a onetimeworkout partner. Dillman op-erated it as both a karate camp and a bed-and-breakfast, the Butterfly andBeeB&B.

Over the years, to satisfy occasionalnostalgic or spiritual urges, Ali returned.The last visit came in 2001, the strickenformer champion peering at his formercamp through a limousinewindow.

These days a dentist’s billboard featur-ing a smiling toothmarks the dusty turnoffonRoute 61 to this almost-forgotten sportstreasure at the top of SculpsHill.

Madden, according toKilroy, has in-vestedmore than $1million in the camp’srebirth. Its 45-year-old structures,many ofwhichwere rotting andporous, have beenrepaired and improved byAmish crafts-men. Somehave been decoratedwithperiod furniture, equipment, appliancesandAlimemorabilia.

“We’re trying to replicate everything,”Matta said.

As a guide for the project,Maddenturned toKilroy,whowas bestman at oneofAli’sweddings and a pallbearer at hisparents’ funerals. The crustymanagersupplied both stories and photos from theDeer Lake years.

“When I saw those photos, I knewwehad to put themondisplay,”Madden said.

Nowdozens of them—alongwithAliquotations, fight posters, ticket stubs andmagazine covers— adorn thewalls of thespacious gym,with its regulation ring andpunching bag.

Up a hill from there is the cozywhitemosquewhereAli prayed five times daily.Out back, adjacent to a large stone grill theboxer built, is his cabin, equippedwith thesamewater pump, oil lamp and coal stove.A shortwalk away are the bunkhouses andthe kitchen,whereAli’smother andLanaShabazz,MalcolmX’s daughter, preparedmeals.

Those bunkhouses,Matta said,might besuitable for corporatemeetings or as thea-terswhere tourists could view someofAli’s

61 professional fights.“Mike’s not sure how it’s all going to

work or howmany people are going tocome to see this place,”Matta said. “But ifwemarket it right, they’ll come.”

When the camp’s doorsofficially open,visitors can viewAli videos on numerousTVmonitors— aHowardCosell-narratedbiography in the gym, a 1974 “DickCavettShow” tour ofDeer Lake inAli’s cabin.

“I’mmore at homehere than I am inmyCherryHill house,” Ali toldCavett. “I’mliving like the slaves did, like Jack Johnsondid.”

Themosque’s TV features an excerptfroma 1977 appearance inEngland, duringwhich, in response to a child’s question, Aliriffed onhis spiritual beliefs.

“We’re hoping to bring schoolkids here,sowehad someprincipals and schoolsuperintendents come in andwatch thatclip,”Matta said. “We asked them if itraised any separation-of-church-and-stateissues, and they said no.HenevermentionshisMuslimbeliefs, butwehave somesmall-minded people in this area andwe’reafraid that ifwe start bringing in kids,they’ll right away be saying, ‘You’re takingthem to amosque?’ ”

The revived camp,whose owner hopeswill one day be listed on theNationalHis-toric Register, already has attracted visi-tors. Documentarians fromHBO filmedhere last August for a project partly fi-nanced byLeBron James. ABBCcrewarrived inMarch. According toKilroy, aboxing-mad Saudi prince visitedwith hissons and offered to buy the place.

“People used to come and talk aboutfixing this place up,”Kilroy said. “This kidcame andput hismoneywhere his heartis.”

There’s no timetable yet forwhen thepublicwill be admitted, but this autumn,Madden said, select groups of schoolchild-ren— “focus groups,” he called them—willtour.

“We’ll sit themdownafterward and askwhat they liked,what they didn’t,whatwas boring andwhatwasn’t,” he said.

In themeantime,Maddenhas hosteddinners here for business executives andcivic leaders.He thinks hosting a few cor-porate retreats a year could finance educa-tional programs.

Deer Lake’s most striking featuremaybe the 18 huge boulders scattered aroundthe property. On them,Ali’s father paintedthe names of great boxers, including hisson’s. In no surprise, perhaps, Ali seemedenamored of the one that honored SonnyListon, the fighter he beat in 1964 to takethe heavyweight title.

In one photo from the 1970s, Ali isstanding proudly atop theListon boulder,gazing out at a spectacular vista of theAppalachian range, a viewmature hillsidetrees nowobscure. Another, taken twodecades later, showshim in the same spot,this time recreating his famous “Get up andfight!” gesture from the secondListonfight.

WhenMadden’s son, Jesse, saw thatsecondphotograph, he climbed the rockand took a selfie in the samepose.Not longbefore, he knewnothing of Ali. It’s a trans-formationMikeMaddenhopes repeatsitself often.

“My challenge now,” he said, “is figuringout away to get people up there andthrough the place. It tells a great storyabout an important historical figure. I justwonder if these kidswhowalk aroundwiththeir noses in their phones all daywill getit.”

“Mike’s not sure how it’s all going to work or how many people are going to come to see this place.But if we market it right, they’ll come.”

G amble in any casino inLas Vegas, and thehouse always has anedge.

So why should thenew WNBA team in Sin City beany different?

No, we’re not talking about theso-called “Vegas flu” that afflictedsome hockey teams that came toplay the Golden Knights duringthe NHL season. The Aces havethe advantage of a schedulinganomaly that gives them six homegames when their opponent isfinishing a back-to-back. That’sover a third of their home games.

The next-closest team is theMystics with three such games.Five teams don’t even have onehome game like that.

The WNBA downplayed theoddity.

“The determination of theregular-season schedule is com-plex, involving many factors, in-cluding scheduling requirements,arena availability, broadcast win-dows, production assets, competi-tive balance, travel and rest andrecuperation for our teams andplayers,” the league said through aspokesman.

The scheduling advantagehasn’t really paid off so far for theteam that moved to Nevada fromSan Antonio last winter, as theAces are 1-2 in such games. Acesplayers were unaware of thescheduling quirk but noted theytry to take advantage of teamsplaying back-to-back games.

“Idothink it’s somethingyou’reconscious of,” guard Kelsey Plumsaid. “I think it is an emphasis torun, but we try to run in general.Wetrytoplaywiththefastestpacein the league.”

Despite a 6-12 record, the Aceshave been leaving a solid impres-sion on their fans and opponentsas owner MGM has gone all-inwith the team.

From signage around the cityfeaturing the team, a giant Acesjersey on the Statue of Liberty infront of the New York, New Yorkcasino and top-of-the-line accom-modations for the players, LasVegas is making the WNBA feelverywelcome.

MGMspentover$10milliononthe Mandalay Bay Arena to makeitWNBA-ready, adding a state-of-the-art video board and makingsure nearly every seat has a greatview.

“We’re going to do it right,” saidBill Hornbuckle, president ofMGM Resorts. “With a WNBAteam, it’s not about core econo-mics for us, it’s about visitation.It’s about getting the communitybehindus and showingonce againthat Las Vegas will support sportsteams.”

Hornbuckle said the WNBAhas been a great partner. Will thisnew relationship lead to an NBA

team joiningLasVegas in the nearfuture? Hornbuckle said it’s notimmediately in the cards, butMGM has a “tight relationship”with WNBA President Lisa Bor-ders and NBA Commissioner Ad-amSilver.

“Only time will tell where thatgoes,” Hornbuckle said. “We’renot in a hurry to get anNBA team.We thought it was important toshow that when we get intosomething,we go all-in.”

The new franchise has beengetting rave reviews from theleague and its players.

“Everything they’ve done so farhasbeen incredible,”Borders said.“It’s been first class all theway.”

MGM has made home gamesan experience.

Boys II Men sang the nationalanthem before the first game, andthe halftime showwas a perform-ance by Jabbawockeez. Even be-fore fans got into the MandalayBay Arena, performers fromMichael Jackson One by CirqueduSoleilwereoutsideputtingonashow. Other MGM acts have alsoperformed at games.

“It’s about the whole experi-ence andmaking sure the fans areentertained,” saidcoachBillLaim-beer,who is also running the teamas president.

“We’re in this for the long haul,

andwe hope to be the destinationfor free agents.”

Besides the top-notch facilityand apartments, players can takein the hottest new restaurants orclubs in Vegas. Getting reserva-tions or tickets is just a phone callaway.

“We want it to be fun for (theplayers),” Hornbuckle said. “Wewant to get the reputation that(players will) want to play forVegas.

“We all love to win, (but it’s)one day at a time, one year at atime.”

Center Carolyn Swords, whohas played in a few WNBA citiesover her career, has been im-pressed so far.

“They are definitely treating usverywell,” she said.

So have theAces’ opponents.“The trip from the airport was

all Aces, so they’re doing a goodjob advertising everywhere in thehotels,” Sparks forward CandaceParker said. “It was a fun experi-ence. Being one of the first twoprofessional teams to play inVegas, I think that’s huge.

“They’re doing a good job.They’vegotagoodfanbasegoing.”

The Aces are averaging about5,600 fans.

“Our fans, in general, have beenamazing,” guard Kayla McBridesaid. “If you look, it’s been prettypacked for all of our home games.Whoever’s coming in, we’re hav-ing a lot of our fans out.

“It’s cool to see Floyd (May-weather) out here supporting us.Tohavehimsetasidetimetocomesee us is really, really cool. I thinkwe’re trying to change everythingandwewant to give thema show.”

The Clemson co-of-fensive coordinatorpaused, smiled andcouldn’t hide his joyabout riding an all-ter-rain vehicle through thewoods. The walls brokedown as Elliott made a humanconnection with mock inter-viewer Jon Oliver in the bestpossiblepreparationhecanget fora head coaching job.

Despite helping the Tigers wina national title, Elliott has neverinterviewed for a head coachingjob.

“Twophone calls,” Elliott said.College football as a public

entity can’t institute aRooney rulelike the NFL, which compelsteams to interview minority can-didates for head coaching jobs. So

insteadof focusingall its effortsonthe schools, the NCAA is puttingsome of its rising coaching candi-dates through its Champion Fo-rumtobetterprepare themfor theinterviewprocess.

It is an effort to increase thediversity in thePowerFiveconfer-ences and across the country.

“You can’t shame people intohiring people,” said Oliver, a for-

mer University of Vir-ginia athletic adminis-trator who now workswith the Champion Fo-rum. “You can’t tell(schools)what theyneedto be doing. Butwhatwecan do is make sure (thecandidates) are ready.”

Jasper and Elliott had back-to-back mock interviews with theirwives seated a few feet away.Oliver played the role of theinterviewer for a job at a fictionalAtlantic University in Florida,firing questions at each coachabout a top job and asking if theyhad any questions of their own.

Afterward, Oliver critiquedthemon everything fromhow fastthey were talking to what they

shouldn’t have said. Oliver hasseen coaches go from not beingable to finish answers to having abetter idea of what to expect thenext time the phone rings aboutan opening.

“Had I not gone through thisprocess, I wouldn’t know what Iwas getting into,” Elliott said. “Iwouldn’t havebeenencouraged toprepare in the areas where Ineeded toprepare toultimately besuccessful. Because at the end ofthe day, it’s not just becoming ahead coach. It’s being a successfulhead coach and building a suc-cessful program.”

The success of coaches likeFranklin helps because Oliver iswell aware that minority coacheswho don’t succeed are less likelytoget a secondchance. Inhiseightyears running the Champion Fo-rum, director ofNCAA leadershipdevelopment Curtis Hollomonhas seen progress with moreminority coaches being in themixfor openings.

“What we’ve seen is the aware-ness of these coaches,” Hollomonsaid. “That’s one of the mainthings that we’re trying to do: letthem know that these coaches areout there, they’re in these posi-tions and they’re ready when theopportunities present them-selves.”

The program includes two

steps of interview training, videoclips to show strengths andweak-nesses, and an in-person follow-up by former Redskins generalmanager Charley Casserly andother officials. This year theNCAA invited the coordinators’wives to sit in on the program andwelcomed their input.

“It made me realize howmuchhe has grown,” said Elliott’s wife,Tameka. “Just watching him growand seeing his transition andseeing howhehas to interactwithmore people than he was used tointeracting with — not just theplayer and the family. Now you’vegot the AD and fundraisers, stufflike that.”

Jasper learned from his Riceinterview to have questions pre-pared, and Oliver told Elliott nottobroacha topicbut to expect it tobe brought up by the interviewer.Recognizingthey’regettingplentyof help from the process, coachesalso understand they have to dotheir homework and earn the jobsthey’re being prepared for.

“It’s a great initiative in whatthey’re doing in giving guys anopportunity to just be consid-ered,” Elliott said. “And then fromthere, we’ve got to do our part.We’ve got to go get the job, we’vegot to be the best person for thejob, and then whenwe get the jobwe’ve got to be successful.”

Radiohead concerts rarely have a linearfeel. They’remore like kaleidoscopes, con-stantly shifting tone and shape as they go.TheUnitedKingdomquintet’s sold-out

showFriday at theUnitedCenterwas noexception.

UsuallyU.S. tour openers such as thisone can be a bit clunky as a band shakes offthe rust. ButRadioheadhas essentiallybeen on the road for two years since re-leasing its 2016 album, “AMoonShaped

Pool,” and it hardly looked tentative as itdove into the nightmarish “Daydreaming.”

Themusic keptmorphing for the nexttwo-plus hours. Instrumentsmoved in andout—keyboards, computers, an array ofguitars andpercussion—as themusicianschangedposition and responsibilities,sometimeswithin the same song. Therelationship of those instrumentswithinthe arrangements also kept sliding around,with drummerPhil Selway andbassistColinGreenwood (plus tour percussionist

CliveDeamer) often in the foreground asthe guitars of JonnyGreenwood andEdO’Brien provided color and backgroundtextures. Or JonnyGreenwoodwould gobonkers on a synthesizer andO’Brienwould conjure noises onhis foot pedalswhileThomYorke sang, danced and shookmaracas.

WILLIAMSTOWN,Mass.—Born atSt. FrancisHospital inEvanston, thenarrator ofAdamRapp’s newplay, “TheSound Inside,” has ascended to one ofthose professorships, both tenured andscarce, teaching creativewriting at an IvyLeague school. This 53-year-oldBella hasneither spouse nor lover— she goes tobed inNewHavenwith the novels ofJames Salter anddreams of the SheddAquarium—but she does havewhatEdwardAlbee called the 360-degree view.She passes hermiddle-ageddays along-side the beguiling perfidiousness of cal-lowundergraduate youth and,with ever-growing clarity, she sees the imminence of

her owndeath.Especially sinceBella recentlywas

diagnosedwith cancer, of the likely termi-nal kind.

The oncologist didn’t caremuch andtherewas no one to pick her up fromchemo,which raises the question ofwhydo chemoat all. Sowhat should be in itsplace?

“The Sound Inside” is a gripping stun-ner of a 90-minute play fromRapp, a childof Joliet known for his dense, sophis-ticated andnarrative-heavywriting, theclosest thing that theAmerican theatercurrently has to aDavidFosterWallace, inthatRapp can give you thehead rush ofsophisticated literary allusion andunreli-

Dear Amy: Mysupervisor,“Angie,”works hard. Sheprovidesmemuch valu-able support and guidance.She is also themother of atoddler andhas negotiatedtowork 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Monday throughThurs-day; she takes care of herchild onFridays.

A few times a year,wehavemulti-day team re-treats, andAngie is neverable to attend onFridays;she rarely attendsmeet-ings or events in the eve-nings or onweekends,which happen at least afew times amonth.

More important, Angiehas been on our team forover a year andhas yet tocomplete 40hours ofmandatory training, be-cause she has not been abletomake any of the sessionsworkwith her parentingresponsibilities.

Now it’s annual reviewtime and I have the chanceto give feedback onAngie’sperformance. (Wehave apracticewhere feedbackhappens in both directions,not just from supervisor tostaffer.) Iwould like toraisemy concerns,whichare that A: It’s hard to feelshe is fully invested in ourwork if there are eventsthat she never attends, andB:Her lack of certificationthrough themandatorytraining technically putsour entire organization atrisk, should anyone chooseto look into it.

Iwould neverwantanyone to prioritize jobover family, although Idon’t think that’swhat I’masking for. And I certainlydon’twant to be awomanputting down anotherwoman for her personaland professional choices.

Am I out of line, or couldImake these commentsanonymously and respect-

fully on the evaluationform?

—Frustrated

Dear Frustrated: First, Ithink you should assumethat your evaluation,whileoffered anonymously,willnot necessarily stay anony-mous. Don’t say anythinganonymously that youwouldn’t say to “Angie”directly. She negotiatedthis schedulewith higher-ups, and surely they areaware of the conflicts thatarise. Shemay be such avalued (and valuable)employee that they arewilling to assume the im-pact of her absences.

But anything about yoursupervisor’s schedule thathas an impact on the per-formance of the teamshould be disclosed, aslong as it has an actualimpact. Theway youphrase your concerns, “It’shard forme to feel she isfully invested in herwork...” sounds subjective. Iwouldn’tweigh in onherfailure to complete certifi-cation training, becausethat doesn’t seem like it’syour business to disclose.

Dear Amy: I had beenunemployed for nearly twoyears anddrawing downmy savings accountwhilehelping a familymembernavigate consequences oflong-termcancer treat-ment,when Imade a diffi-cult financial decision.

I chose to give awed-ding gift of $1,000 to anewlywed couple in theirlate 20s, because Iwantedto support a good start totheir new life together. I donot regretmydifficultchoice butwas disappoint-ed to receive a thank-younote sent as a textmessage.

Among the generationaldifferences I amworking

hard to accept are thechoices about formalitywhen acknowledging amaterial gesture. Should Iaccept that younger gen-erations have generallychosen texting as the pre-ferred communicationchannel for informal andformal communicationand justmove forward?

—Formally Yours

Dear Formally Yours:Your giftwas quite extrava-gant; you describe it as a“difficult financial deci-sion.” Even though you sayyou don’t regret it, I’mwonderingwhy you didthis, orwhat result youmight have hoped for.Regardless, you deserve asincere handwritten note.

Textmessages haveNOT replaced a politelywritten note. But textmessages are a greatway torespond quickly. Textedthank-yous seem to fill agap for peoplewhoprob-ablywouldn’t have con-tacted you at all (beforethis technology) to thankyou for a gift. Polite andgrateful people still pick upthe phone and/orwritenotes on paper.

Dear Amy: I appreciatedyour advice to “Guilty inNC,” the dadwhose daugh-tersweremean to “Carrie”at the pool, exceptwhenyou suggestedCarriemight be “on the spec-trum.” It is not your job todiagnose people.

—Upset

Dear Upset:You are 100percent correct. Thankyou.

There aren’t a lot of peoplewho are handed the key to one ofmusic’smost beloved propertiesand told, essentially, to go havefunwith it.

But that’s prettymuchwhathappened to audio engineer PeterCobbinwhenhewas given accessto theBeatles’ originalmastertapes to create newmixes ofsongs for an anniversary reissueof the band’s colorfully inventive1968 film “YellowSubmarine,” theanimation classic thatwill em-bark on a 50th-anniversary theat-rical runwith its recent 4K resto-ration onMonday.

“What a thrill to be listening tothematerial on the originaltapes,” saidCobbin, anAbbeyRoad Studio engineerwho firstgot involved remixingmore thana dozenBeatles songs for the 1999rerelease of “YellowSubmarine.”

“I’m also amusician,” he saidby phone fromLondon recently,“and there aren’tmany people inmusicwhowouldn’t like to en-gage in theworld of theBeatles.”

Twodecades ago, Cobbin re-called, theworld of surroundsound audio for filmwas rela-tively young. Yet hewas chargednot onlywith creating a stereomix for the film’s soundtrack,which originallywas inmono, buthe also had the task of coming upwith a 5.1-multichannel versionthat could be shown in theaters aswell as enjoyed by the relative fewconsumerswhohad surroundsound systems at home at thattime.

The rights to the film, createdbymembers of the same teamthatmade theBeatles TV cartoonseries that aired for three seasonsonABC-TV from 1965 to ’67,belonged then toMGM/UA,whichwas interested in celebrat-ing themovie’s 30th anniversary.

The groupmemberswerevoiced by actors rather than theBeatles themselves, as also is thecase for the “YellowSubmarine”film. Themoviewas directed byGeorgeDunning,who also hadworked on theTV show.

Tinkering in the late ’90swith

the sound of cherishedBeatlesrecordingswas a potentiallydaunting assignment, especiallysinceCobbin knew that finalapprovalwould comedown toPaulMcCartney, Ringo Starr,GeorgeHarrison (whodied in2001) and JohnLennon’swidow,YokoOno.

“Finallywhen everyone (atMGM/UAandAppleCorps, theBeatles’ company)were feelingpretty good about it, the big daycamewhen theBeatles came in tolisten to it,” Cobbin recalled.“That happened in the earlystages of 1998.

“Despite some trepidation—wewere all a little nervous aboutit— itwas awonderful after-noon,” he said. “Ringowas there,Paul andLindawere there,Georgewas there, andYokowasthere.

“Itwas one of those days I’lljust never forget,” he said. “Theamount of enthusiasm they allhadwas just unbelievable. Ringojust couldn’t get over the detail ofhearing things he’d never heard inthe old recordings. ... They’dnever heard things remixed be-fore, let alone in a surround soundformat.We got the big thumbs-up, the validation by the peoplewhohad created it.”

Contemporary audienceswillhave the chance to experience theremixedmusic aswell as the 4Kdigital restoration of the film itselfthatwas done in 2012 for theDVD/Blu-ray home video release.The originalwas restored byhand, frame by frame, rather thanusing automated software.

The success of the 2016RonHoward documentary “EightDays aWeek” helpedwhet thea-ter owners’ appetite for Beatles-related content, according toRichardAbramowitz,whoseAbramoramadistribution firm ishandling the “YellowSubmarine”engagement as it didwithHow-ard’s film.

In that case,what started asone- or two-week engagements inseveral dozen theaterswas ex-tended several times and ex-panded to hundredsmore thea-ters.

Abramowitz isn’t necessarilyexpecting the same level of publicresponse to this 50-year-old filmbut nevertheless said, “There ishuge demand for it.

“Part of our job—aswith allthemusic films, evenmore sobecause it’s theBeatles— is tocurate the theaters. Ourmotto is‘No empty seats.’We’re not aboutsaturating themarketplace, but

we are giving interested peoplemany options.Wewant it to beaccessible and availablewithoutbeing omnipresent.”

ForCobbin, themissionwiththe sound of “YellowSubmarine”songs—a roster that includesnot only the title track but “Sgt.Pepper’s LonelyHearts ClubBand,” “EleanorRigby,” “Lucy inthe SkyWithDiamonds” and “AllYouNeed Is Love,” among the 15cuts used in the film—was tochannel the same sense of experi-mentation thatwent into theinventive animation.

“The big questionwas canwemake it sound like theBeatles,” hesaid. “Let’s not deviate (fromexistingmixes) somuch thatwealienate hardcore fans; at thesame time it’s an opportunity toreally push the boat and experi-ment. Thatmiddle groundwassomethingwe just always felt likewewere trying to negotiate.”

In fact, the balancing act re-quiredmore time than anyoneoriginally thought and pushed the30th-anniversary release from1998 into 1999.

“As I recall, even theword‘playful’was definitelymen-tioned,” Cobbin said. “We tried toimagine that if they had access tosomeof the technologywehave

today,whatwould they do?Thatwas the hallmark of their record-ing career, and you canhear itwonderfully fromalbum to al-bum, their sense of experimenta-tion, theirwillingness to try newthings.”

Ahalf-century after “YellowSubmarine” had its premiere,Cobbin says, “I think it’s one ofthose films that crossed genera-tions. I’m still surprised at howmany young people today showan interest in it.With all thethings that have beenwrittenabout themusic, the ideas, theanimation, the colors, the psyche-delic aspect, it’s something thatholds up incrediblywell. Probablyevenmoreso now that there’s agenuinely good restoration of theanimation.”

He’s referring to a painstakingprocess inwhich the filmwasrestored by hand for the 4K resto-ration to retain the original char-acter of the animation.

“It’s really quite a simple story,”he said, “but it is told using areally rich cloth, this tapestryofwonderful, almost surrealist,pop animation. It’s definitelysomething from the ’60s, but itfeels no less interesting today.”

‘Yellow Submarine’ bridges generationsBeatles film returnsto theaters to mark50th anniversary

By Randy LewisLos Angeles Times

everything from swarming fire-flies to a blood-redwave out ofStanleyKubrick’s “The Shining.”

The sound itself gleamed,withthe individual contributions ofeach instrumentalist remarkablyclear. Clearest of allwasColinGreenwood,whose bass linesprovided ballast— and cut thesharpestmelodic path throughthe volatile arrangements. Eventhe quieter songs—most ofwhichwere packednear the top of theshow—never quite settled down.

Therewere a handful of let-downs, notably “Burn theWitch,”the lead single from“AMoonShapedPool.”With its aggressivestring arrangement anddystopianlyrics, it’s one ofRadiohead’sstrongest latter-day songs, but itfelt a bitmalnourished at theUnitedCenter— too bad the bandcan’t carry a string section on theroad to do this one justice.

Otherwise, itwas a great nightfor the rhythmsection,with Sel-way orchestrating his parts in away that didn’t just drive themu-sic but also often shaped it. Thebandbegan shifting away fromthe traditional guitar-bass-drumshierarchy of a typical rock combosoon after releasing its 1990smasterpiece, “OKComputer,” andO’Brien and JonnyGreenwoodare nowbest described as soundsculptors rather than guitar play-ers.

Similarly, Yorke often treatedhis voice as another instrumentaltexture, even as he explored thevulnerability inside “LetDown”and “How toDisappearCom-pletely” and embodied the fren-zied intensity of “Idioteque” and“15 Step.”

The band, better known for itsangular arrangements, relaxedjust enough at times to swing—the bossa-nova feel in themiddleof “ParanoidAndroid,” the sham-bling groove of “TheNumbers”—yet never settled into the straight-ahead flowof a typical rock con-cert.

At the risk of coming off asexhausting or obtuse, Radioheadtwitchedwith invention.

In 1995, actorKevinBaconandhis older brother, film com-poserMichael Bacon, performedas amusic duo for a charityevent. That gigwas supposed tobe a one-off, but fate had otherplans. Twenty-three years on, theBaconBrothers have releasedeight albums and continue tocarve out time in their busyindividual schedules for tourdates.

“Juggling is the keyword,”Michael sayswith a laugh duringa conference callwith hisbrother. “I have a lot of jobs—I’m a college professor aswell.I’ve been doing film scoring solong that I’mnowvery efficientand quick. I knowhow long aproject is going to take. As far astouring goes, Iwait to see howKevin’s schedulewill pan out.”

Kevin notes that it can betough booking a tour aroundacting jobs (“Movies sometimesdrop out of the sky”), but thebrothers alwaysmake itwork inthe end.He likens performingmusic live in concert to hisworkas an actor in the theater.

“It’s never the same showtwice, so it’s like doing a stageplay,”Kevin says. “Youneverknowexactlywhat is going tohappen. It’s an experience ofhaving thatmomentwith thatgroup of people. Every night isdifferent.”

Showing no signs of slowingdown, the brothers just releaseda newalbum, a self-titledCDonForosocoMusic. It’s a strong10-track project thatmixes emo-tionally resonant classic rock,Americana and folk. In thewakeof the new release, they recentlyappeared on “TheTonightShow”with JimmyFallon.

They kicked off their summertour in early June. This currentrun of dates brings theBaconBrothers toCityWinery onThursday. The band includes

PaulGuzzone on bass, JoeMen-nonna on keyboards andFrankVilardi on drums.

Each brother boasts an im-pressive resumeof his own.Longtime actorKevinBaconhasbuilt a respected career in film,television and theater since hisbreakthrough roles in the early’80s films “Diner” and “Foot-loose.” AnEmmyandGoldenGlobe awardwinnerwith 80films under his belt, he’s alsomade successful forays intodirecting andproducing.He’smarried to actressKyra Sedg-wick andhas two grown chil-dren.His actress daughter SosieBacon stars in themusic videofor theBaconBrothers’ new song“BrokenGlass.”

Michael Bacon started hiscareer as amusician in Philadel-phia before becoming an accom-plished songwriter inNashville.He’s anEmmy-winning com-poserwhose credits includescores for the historical docu-mentary “TheKennedys” and“ThatWayMadness Lies,” anaward-winning project thatchronicles oneman’s strugglewithmental illness.

The brothers began playingmusic backwhen theyweregrowing up in a family of six kidsin Philadelphia.When it comesto their collaborativemusicalproject theBaconBrothers,Michael says the band alwaysstrives to create amemorableperformance for its audience.

“We try tomake the showasgood aswepossibly can,” he says.

Kevin sings andplays guitarwhile vocalist andmulti-instru-mentalistMichael plays guitar,cello and other stringed instru-ments. Each is a songwriterwhowrites alone. They performnewmaterial for one another, thenshare theworkwith theirwivesfor honest but tough criticism.

On the newalbum,Kevinapplies his grainy vocals to thesoaring and bittersweet electricnumber “TomPettyT-Shirt.”

“It’s not really a song aboutTomPetty,”Kevin explains. “Ifsomeone you love is strugglingwith something,my instinct isalways to try to fix it, to comeupwith the rightwords thatwillmake it all better. But that’s notnecessarily the answer. The songis about how sometimes a smallgesture can bemore helpful thananything. You just say to theperson, ‘Here, takemyoldT-shirt.’ ”

The brothers are distinctivesingerswhosemusical strengthscomplement one another. Assongwriters, Kevin brings arocker’s edge to themusic,whileMichael lists toward an acousticfolk sensibility.

For the newalbum,Michaelcontributed the songs “TwoRivers” and “ARoadWeKnowTooWell.”

“Those songs are really aboutthe same thing,” he notes. “I’vebeenmarried for 46 years. Lastyear I started looking back. In‘TwoRivers,’ Iwas interested indescribing the road thatwe’vetraveled. ‘ARoadWeKnowTooWell’ is about twopeoplewhoare on ametaphorical road triptogether. That’swhat beingmarried for ages is really like.”

One of the perks of collaborat-ing onmusic is that it allows thebrothers to spend amajor chunkof the summer together. Thisyear’s run finds the band on theroad from the first of Junethrough earlyAugust.

“Kevin and I are usually reallybusywith our families and some-timeswe’re on different sides ofthe country,”Michael says. “It’sreally nice thatwe get the chanceto spend time together.”

The tour also gives thementhe opportunity to catch upwithsomeof their dedicated follow-ers.

“In terms of the fans,wehavethis core bunch of peoplewhoare extremely committed,” saysMichael. “Luckily through socialmedia, they can all keep in touch.Sowhereverwe go, there’s al-ways a core groupwhoknow themusic and are really enthusias-tic.”

And though only theBolcomportion of theprogrammade real impact,Davies’ bracing interpre-tations of Bolcom’s Sym-phonyNo. 4, “TheRose,”and the finale of Bolcom’sSymphonyNo. 5 under-scored the value of thecomposer’s betterworks.

Davies opened the sec-ondhalf of the evening,featuringBolcom’smusic,with something rare: po-diumcommentaryworthhearing, as opposed totrivialities and anecdotes.

ForDavies succinctly out-lined the shape of theFourth Symphony’s twomagisterialmovements andbriefly explained to listen-ers the intellectual de-mands itwouldmake onthem.

Youdidn’t need to knowthatDavies has been alongtime champion ofBolcom’smusic to perceivethe depth of his reading ofthe craggy, turbulent, aptlynamed “Soundscape” open-ingmovement. A kind oftone poemevoking theruggednatural environ-ment of Bolcom’s nativeNorthwest, “Soundscape”begins briskly, then pro-ceeds to restlessly shiftmood, texture and temper-ament at every turn. Pas-sages of crashing orchestraldissonance giveway tosweeping lyric lines in thestrings,which in turn yieldto periods of busy, gnarlyphrasemaking across theensemble.

The sheer copiousness ofBolcom’smelodic inventionin “Soundscape” com-mands attention, all themore thanks toDavies’mastery of this score. Forregardless of how thick theorchestration becameorhow tautly packedwith

musical incident, Daviesilluminated its innerwork-ings. To achieve this kind oftextural lucidity anddram-atic sweep amid suchheav-ily scored passagework—and in an outdoor environ-ment, no less— renderedan already powerfulworkthatmuchmore rhetori-cally effective.

The secondmovementemerges as the heart ofBolcom’s Fourth Sym-phony, the composer hav-ing set TheodoreRoethke’spoem“TheRose” to anorchestral accompanimentfarmore serene and con-templative than the score’stempestuous beginnings.Here theweight of themusic-making falls on thevocalist, andmezzo-so-pranoKelleyO’ConnorgaveRoethke’s profoundpoetry infinite shades ofnuance in phrases sung andspoken.Hers is a hefty yetsupple instrument, herreadingmore full-throatedand extroverted thanMor-ris’ deeplymoving inter-pretation on the recordingwithLeonard Slatkin andthe St. Louis SymphonyOrchestra.

Still, O’Connor broughtample emotion to thesepages, especially the lines

inwhich the poem’s pro-tagonist remembers theinnocence of youth and achild’s love for her fatherwith thesewords: “Whatneed for heaven, then/With thatman, and thoseroses?” BothO’Connor’sandMorris’ readings recallSamuel Barber’s“Knoxville: Summer of1915,” awork unmatched inits evocation of childlikewonder and one that palpa-bly influencedBolcom’sscore.

ConductorDavies ledthe orchestra in sensitiveaccompaniments and vividinterludes ranging frompastoral tone-painting to

moments of near-stillnessto vast, granite blocks ofsound. In the end, Bolcom’sSymphonyNo. 4—andRoethke’s poem—dealtwith nothing less than themeaning of existence andour place in the universe.Davies, O’Connor and theGrant ParkOrchestra noblylived up to that formidablesubjectmatter, Bolcomcoming to the lip of thestage at thework’s conclu-sion to kiss the singer’shand.

Not surprisingly, Daviesled a lively account of thebrief, romping “Machine”finalemovement of Bol-com’s SymphonyNo. 5.

Less effectivewasDavies’ direction ofTchaikovsky’s SymphonyNo. 5, inwhich the conduc-tor’smoderate tempos,even-keel dynamics andmatter-of-fact approachdrained thework of itshyperemotional, pro-foundlyRussian character.Overamplification in thesound systemdid not help.

But, ultimately, thiseveningwas about Bolcom,and it hardly could havedone better by him.

IN PERFORMANCE

A fitting 80th birthdaytribute to William BolcomBy Howard ReichChicago Tribune

Mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor gave Theodore Roethke’s poetry infinite shades of nuancein phrases sung and spoken with Dennis Russell Davies leading the Grant Park Orchestra.

NORMAN TIMONERA PHOTO

able narrative trickery a laFyodorDostoevsky, and yettalk of Plano, Ill., and let youknow that he knows exactlyhow it feels.

Here at the tonyWil-liamstownTheatre Festival,he’smarriedwith the long-timeChicago directorDavidCromer— this is thehighly distinguished firstentry in the post-Tonyphase ofCromer’s ever-fascinating career—andtheRapp-Cromer combina-tion proves inspired.

Cromer gets Rapp.He isaRapp-like director, evenwhen that is not ideal.Healso gets Bella,who isplayed in thisworld pre-miere byMary-LouiseParker, a technically flaw-less actress fully capable ofthe abidingRapp-ish neces-sity that you be at oncedeeply vulnerable andcapable of complete remove— ideally proffering a cyni-cal callousness toward yourcharacter’s own fate. In aRappplay, youmust letyourself be consumedbysomeone and also bewilling

to send themdown theriver. AndParker gives herBella a hefty kick.Whenshe’s already down.

WhatBella eventuallychooses to do (it shocks,when it comes) involves anundergraduate, Christo-pher,who first interests herbecause of his studied con-trastwith the typicalmil-lennial:He’s a novel-writingneo-Ludditewho callsTwitter a “cheaphaiku forthe overly caffeinated.”He’seither a nascent version ofWallace or a total fake and aphony, or all of that at once,

and the intriguing youngactor in the role atWil-liamstown,WillHochman,looks a lot like theCromerof 20 years ago. That’s a lotto unpack, perhaps, butthen that’s the point of“The Sound Inside.” Thereis no one to trust.

This little clutch of gray-huedMidwesterners de-constructing the privilegedinstruction of creativecommunication at Yale—especially the drip, drip,drip of other people’swrit-ing on the psychic health ofthe aging teacher—are a bitlike a bunch ofRussianshacking away at the com-placencies of Facebook.The designers, especially

HeatherGilbert,whohas litmost ofCromer’s showsandwho lights thewayhalfway to hell here, are inon the ruse.NoYale facultyoffice ever has lookedmorelike anDostoyevskian inter-rogation room than the onecreated by the set designerAlexanderWoodward forthis theater in the verdantBerkshires, a county full ofsecondhomes ownedbywealthy people, all desper-ately trying to quiet thesound inside.

Or, at least, to stave if off.That’swhy they spend thebig bucks on the kitchenandbuildwalls all over thedeck.

Alas for those living the

unexamined life, that noisewill return if they go to thisparticular attraction,whereRapp, Cromer andParkerarewaiting in the darkwitha story. Theymight findthemselveswonderingwhat theywill dowhenthey find themselves dying,surrounded by youthfulvitality,which is true ofeveryonewho is dying, eventhose smart enough to seethat thewaynow is clear.

With the ever-increasingconsolidation of urbanradio, programdirectorsappear increasinglywary tobreak below-the-radar localphenomena. Regional taste-makers have capitalized onthe void, serving both art-ists eager for enhancedbuzz and fans seeking one-stop shops for videos, intra-city beefs and interviewswith less knownmusicians.

Without the ethicalconstraints of traditionaljournalism, they blur thelines amongpromoters,reporters, gossipmavensand curators.No one isgetting rich, but it opensthe doors to vanity labels,podcasts, party promotionand the hope of eventuallyjoining industry royalty.

“Sometimes youhave tochangewith the times. Youcan’t fightwhat’s hot,” saysCotton, 28. “It’s a dumbed-downerawhere people aretoo lazy to click on a bunchof links to read long articles,especiallywhen they canwatch aYouTube video orjust scroll through Insta-gram.”

During one recent 24-hour blitzkrieg, the SayCheese Instagram (342,000followers)—whichCottonmaintains alongwith onefull-time employee—aver-aged a post an hour.Up-dates included the latestvideos from regional stars,anniversary dedications toclassic albums,murder ratereports andnews onwhogot arrested,who’s beefingandwho got beat up.

SaysCotton, “Instagramis likeWalmart in that it’s aone-stop shopwith every-thing youneed— frommoney and jewelry beingshownoff, tomusic, to thelatest sneaker release.”

Thephenomenondidn’toccur in isolation. As late as2010, rap blogs remainedimpactful enough thatTyler, theCreator eviscer-ated twoof themost popu-lar gatekeepers,NahRightand 2DopeBoyz, for refus-ing to post his groupOddFuture’smusic.

Even then, an evolution-ary shift began to prizevisually alluring contentover text-heavy interviewsand criticism.Themostmassive rapwebsite toemerge from the erawasWorldStarHipHop,whichrewrote the template inComic Sans and offereddystopianwormholes ofstreet rap, twerking videosand amateur fistfightsshakily taped on cell-phones.

“Socialmedia is perfectfor attentionwhoreswhohave a plan,” says 03Greedo, a gifted rapper,singer andproducer fromtheWatts neighborhood inLosAngeles.His unim-peachable street credibilityand gorgeous doomedgospelmelodies helpedhimbuild a devoted cult fanbase on the streets of SouthCentral LA, but his comicsensibilities built for socialmedia helpedhimgona-tionally viral.

“My rapping is great,mysinging andproduction areimmaculate, but that’s notwhat these kidswant to

hear about. They’re like,‘That’s the guywhodoes allthe funny stuff,’ ” Greedosays. “Socialmedia controlsthemusic gamenow, but italso allows us to show thedifferences betweenpeo-ple’s sounds and looks. InLA, it’s allowedus to revealour real identities— thevigilantes, graffitiwritersand gangbangerswho areauthentic andnever followthe rules.”

Thehip-hop blogs origi-nally sprouted frommid-2000smessage boardculture to flourish as voice-driven personal fiefdomsbreaking newartists, exca-vating obscurities andspawning critical dialogue.

They eventually de-volved into diluted clear-inghouses posting dozensofMP3s and videos.

In 2012,with the socialmedia era in full upswing, aNewJersey-based Jamai-can emigre namedDJAkademiks rocketed tofameby chronicling (andmany said exploiting) theviolent controversies of theChicago rap boom.

The self-proclaimedsatirist’s techniquewassimple and swiftly repli-cated.Over gruesome stillsof dead bodies and rappersclutching drugs and assaultrifles, he’d riff on the dailygossip and trauma.ThinkHarveyLevin of TMZnarrating “Menace II Soci-ety” but catering to hun-dreds of thousands eager tohear about nascent starsconsidered too raw formainstreampublications.

With nearly amillionInstagram followers and 1.5millionYouTube subscrib-ers, Akademiks could beconsidered themost popu-lar contemporary bloggereven thoughhe doesn’twrite—his reach on thoseplatforms far exceeds thatof Pitchfork (long based inChicago), themost success-fulmusicwebsite to emergein thismillennium.

Fittingly, themost popu-lar critic of this generationis a bespectacledYouTuberfromConnecticut namedAnthonyFantano,whoseNeedledrop channel boastsover 1.3million acolytes.

In the digitalmedialandscape, the only con-stant is the acceleratedneed formore content inmyriad forms. If themusicblog arose frompost-Nap-ster flux to shareMP3swith voracious under-ground audiences, the riseof Spotify, SoundCloud,AppleMusic andYouTubepartially obliterated theirreason for being.

TheRapCaviar andAppleA-List playlists havesupplanted radio’s onetimekingmaker dominance. Andall youneed to be a taste-maker now is aTwitter orInstagramaccount and acrude facilitywith the fireemoji.

Yet the blog isn’t totallyextinct. Consider it anendangered species.

InChicago, the decade-old Fake ShoreDrive con-tinues to be a civic lodestar.Nearly every notableSouthern rapper still firstreceives national attentionvia veteran siteDirtyGloveBastard.

While inLosAngeles,the best up-to-the-minute

local rap coverage can befound at domains run byupstarts RosecransAve. andSLAPMedia.What’s clearis that thewebsite hasevolved to becomeone ofseveral competing contentdeliverymechanisms in anincreasingly complicatedandwords-averse ecosys-tem.

“Video is definitely thefuture, but thewebsitewillnever die. People still lovereading long-form storiestoo,” saysRayAutry, 31,who runsLA-basedKollegeKidd alongside his twinbrother, Richard.

Natives ofToledo,Ohio,the brothers launched theirsite in 2011with the idea ofmerging their respectivetalents inwriting and filmediting. A former intern atTheWall Street Journal,Richardwrotemostlybreaking news and features,which often focused onChicago rap and its break-out star, ChiefKeef. Rayconverted the pieces intovideo news stories.

“Kids don’twant to readall the time, they’d ratherwatch video,” RichardAutry says, explaining atrend that not coinciden-tallymirrors the cord-cutting tendencies ofmil-lennials andGenerationZ.

But theAutrys acknowl-edge that the velocity of theinternet has forced them toconstantly adapt faster anddevelop a new fluency ineachmedium.Whatwillwork onTwittermight notwork on their homepage,YouTube or Instagram.

In catering to its 455,000Instagram subscribers, theKollegeKid account reliesheavily onmemes. This canmean askingwhich fast-food restaurant you’dchoose if a zombie apoca-lypse forced you to pick justone, orwho is the bestincarcerated rapper.

“Pictures andmemes arepowerful,” RayAutry says.“A video is straightforward,but ameme canmake yourmindwander.”

And if that doesn’twork,you can always keepscrolling.

DearTom,What causes some hur-

ricanes tomove slowly?—Carl Casir

DearCarl,A recent study by James

Kossin of theNationalOceanic andAtmosphericAdministration confirmsthat hurricanes aremov-ingmore slowly.

Worldwide, there hasbeen a10 percent reduc-tion in the speed of hurri-canes between1949 and2016, and in theNorthAtlanticOceanhurricaneshave slowed by 20per-cent, especially once theyhavemade landfall.

“Every one of the haz-ards thatwe know tropicalcyclones carrywith them,all of themare just goingto stick around longer,”Kossin says.

It’s probably the resultof globalwarming.

The difference in tem-perature and air pressurebetween the tropics andpoles is reduced, slowingthewinds thatmove tropi-cal cyclones andhurri-canes.
