Deal would have cops detail every time they point gun

By snapping a couple ofphotos of a sign at about12:02 a.m. Wednesday, JoeKho became an obscurehistorical figure in auniquely Illinois story.

He is the last person tostep from the O’Hare Oasisover the Tri-State Tollway.Essentially a mall foodcourt on a highway bridge,the pavilion was one of fiveoases that experts say existonly in the Illinois Tollwaysystem.

Built in 1959, the oasis isbeing razed to make wayfor a fifth lane for north-bound and southbound ve-hicles as part of the IllinoisTollway’s $4 billion expan-sion of the central branchof its 294-mile networkthroughout northern Illi-nois. Tuesday night was itslast, although the adjacent7-Eleven gas stations andmini-marts will remainopen.

“It’s sad to see the placego,” said Kho, a hospicenurse from Cicero, aftertaking cellphone picturesof the sign stating that theoasis was closing. “It was aplace you could relax.You’ve got all your ameni-ties right here.”

The midnight closure

and planned demolition ofthe O’Hare Oasis in Schil-ler Park follow the removalin 2014 of the Des PlainesOasis over the Jane Ad-dams Memorial Tollway,Interstate 90. The fourremaining oases pavilionsspan the Tri-State Tollwayin South Holland, Hinsdale

and Lake Forest, and I-90in Belvidere.

Kho and others usingthe O’Hare Oasis on its lastnight said the place was anideal, central location. Onementorship group of fivecame from their homes in

The race for Chicagomayor already had 12 othercandidates, but RahmEmanuel’s surprise depar-ture still has created a politi-cal vacuum that knockedsome of his former chal-lengers off-kilter, leavingthem to recalibrate theircampaigns without having apolarizing incumbent torun against and attack.

As some of those an-nounced candidates spentmuch of Wednesday re-burnishing their credentialsand using the heightenedattention of the moment toget their biographies backin front of voters, a bunch ofother potential mayoralcontenders continued towork the phones behind thescenes, calling big-dollardonors, labor bosses andcommunity and religiousleaders to assess whetherthey have the backing tojump into an alreadycrowded field.

At least one big name waswiped off the board — LisaMadigan. The four-termIllinois attorney general re-leased a statement lateWednesday saying shewould not run.

And even as he walkedaway from a campaign for athird term in favor of spend-ing more time with his

miliar with the deal con-firmed.

The new requirement,which will be agreed uponformally in a federal courthearing Thursday morn-ing, marks a win for Madi-gan who had pushed forthe new level of docu-mentation as part of herongoing negotiations withEmanuel on a federal con-sent decree that will gov-

Chicago police officerswould be required todocument every instancein which they point a gunat someone under anagreement reachedWednesday between Illi-nois Attorney General LisaMadigan and Mayor RahmEmanuel, two sources fa-

ern sweeping reforms tothe Chicago Police Depart-ment in the coming years.

In July, Madigan andEmanuel held a joint newsconference to announcethe proposed court agree-ment, which would beenforced by a federal judgeand an independent moni-tor appointed by the court.After nearly a year ofnegotiations, the two poli-ticians agreed on hun-dreds of provisions in thecourt-mandated agree-ment that call for better

training, tighter restric-tions on use of force, closersupervision of officers, aspeedier and more effec-tive disciplinary system forcops and additional coun-seling resources for offi-cers, among other policychanges.

For more than a month,however, the mayor andattorney general had beenat odds over whether Chi-cago police officers shouldhave to document everyinstance in which theypoint a gun at someone.

Madigan called the re-quirement essential to en-suring that officers prop-erly use the threat of a gun,given the department’shistory of excessive forceand misconduct. Emanuelportrayed the docu-mentation as superfluous,while Chicago police Su-perintendent Eddie John-son said it could makeofficers hesitant to drawtheir weapons in danger-ous situations.

WASHINGTON — Inan anonymous broadside,a senior Trump adminis-tration official wrote anopinion piece in The NewYork Times on Wednes-day claiming to be part of agroup of people “workingdiligently from within” toimpede President DonaldTrump’s “worst inclina-tions” and ill-conceivedparts of his agenda.

Trump said it was a“gutless editorial” and“really a disgrace,” and hispress secretary called onthe official to resign.

Later, Trump tweeted:“TREASON?” and “If theGUTLESS anonymousperson does indeed exist,the Times must, for Na-tional Security purposes,turn him/her over to gov-

be part of the “resistance”to Trump but not from theleft, said, “Many Trumpappointees have vowed todo what we can to pre-serve our democratic in-stitutions while thwartingMr. Trump’s more mis-guided impulses until he isout of office.” The news-paper described the au-thor of the column only asa senior official in theTrump administration.

“It may be cold comfortin this chaotic era, butAmericans should knowthat there are adults in theroom,” the author wrote.“We fully recognize whatis happening. And we aretrying to do what’s righteven when Donald Trumpwon’t.”

So now that Mayor Rahm Emanuelhas dropped out of the race for mayorof Chicago, what happens next forserious challengers like Lori Lightfootand Paul Vallas?

Does Chicago politics descendagain into tribal politics and racialcoalitions, with appeals to ethnicgroups — the black candidate, thewhite candidate, the Latino candi-date?

Or does it continue as a campaignof ideas in a broken city?

Where do the oligarchs go, nowthat Emanuel is out? Does Grosvenorboss Michael Sacks, aka “MayorSacks,” a close Emanuel ally withreach at the Chicago Sun-Times, finda new horse to ride?

And does former President BarackObama decide to rediscover Chicagoand play kingmaker by anointingsomeone? Or does Obama take a moresubtle approach and simply let it beknown that he “likes” a candidate,sending up puffs of white smoke thatswing African-American votes?

Obama could have helped Emanu-el, put his arms around the troubledmayor in the last few trying months,with the mayor’s popularity plum-meting among black voters. But hedidn’t. He’s a one-way street.

In Chicago politics, there are nopermanent friends, no permanentenemies, but only permanent person-al interests. That’s how we roll. It’s allout there, unresolved publicly butthrobbing ambitiously in the dark.

Vallas and Lightfoot are now forcedto recalibrate their campaigns andtheir messages.

Though Emanuel is no longer apiece on the chessboard, he made itclear on Wednesday that he still in-tends to pull Chicago’s strings anddictate a successor. Arrogant? Yes. Hecan’t help himself.

On WGN-AM radio’s “Steve Coch-ran” program, the mayor was askedabout future candidates dropping innow that he’s dropped out.

Emanuel said, coyly, that the nextmayor of Chicago hasn’t yet an-nounced.

“Who is it?” Emanuel was asked.He wouldn’t say. But he did chan-

nel former President Bill Clinton —his corrupt former boss — by riffingon an infamous Clinton verbal dodge.

“It depends on what the word ‘is’means,” Emanuel said.

It was a comment missed by some.But it caught my ear.

Then he laughed, and bit into acrisp apple.

This game of Chicago thrones isentertaining, yes, but it is also seriousbusiness, because here’s what’s atstake:

The future of a great city savagedby decades of bad politics and tribalwarlords, and the fate of millions ofresidents who will either flee likerefugees or stick around and pick upthe bill.

Media speculation over the manynames that could swoop in for thechance to grab a piece now thatEmanuel has withdrawn has angeredLightfoot and Vallas.

I’ve played the speculation game,too. It’s part of the job.

“The media coverage disturbs me,”Lightfoot told me on Wednesday. “To

see the media focused solely on thehorse race and the powers that beanointing a winner without regard forcitizens should be disturbing to every-one.

“This notion that city governmentand the mayor’s office is pirate bootyripe for the picking is offensive,”Lightfoot said.

Yes, it is offensive, but it’s politics.“There is chaos now, no orderly

transition to new leadership,” Vallastold me. “Those who did not have theguts to challenge Emanuel or to sup-port candidates who did have the guts— because they might be punished —are now crawling in.

“Government leaders resort topolitics when they have no ideas,when they have personal agendas,they resort to the politics of spin,distraction, the politics of scapegoat-ing,” Vallas said. “They’re better atmanaging the news than they aremanaging government.”

Vallas is correct. They didn’t havethe guts. But gutless politiciansplaying it safe along the baseboardsare a historic feature of Chicago polit-ical entomology.

One is retiring Cook County ClerkDavid Orr. After the late Mayor Har-old Washington’s death, Orr wasinterim mayor for a few days. Hecould have fought to keep the job, butthat would have caused pain.

Now he wants to flirt with the ideaof running for mayor. That costs noth-ing.

I get what Vallas and Lightfoot aresaying. The race for mayor shouldn’tbe about pirate’s booty. And thosewho showed little principle or guts tochallenge the status quo, yet nowwiggle excitedly and swoop in for apiece, are what’s wrong with ourpolitics.

But this is Chicago. That’s how theyplay.

Two names loom large, and Light-foot and Vallas must step up and meetthe challenge.

Cook County Board President ToniPreckwinkle is considering a run, as isIllinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza.

Preckwinkle can raise money. She’sbeen wounded by her ridiculous poptax plan, earning her the name ToniTaxwinkle.

But she is chairman of the CookCounty Democratic Party. She hasexperience and toughness. And shehas her political protege, Kim Foxx, asCook County state’s attorney.

The last Chicago politician to beboth party chairman and mayor wasRichard J. Daley. Boss Daley, meetBoss Preckwinkle.

A mayoral candidate with thepower of subpoena would be formida-ble. And she could make an appeal onracial grounds.

Mendoza has an election to win inNovember. She’s been out publicly,hobnobbing at the City Club of Chi-cago, and won’t say much publicly.But she’s interested.

She’s blessed with a dynamic, win-ning personality, she’s Latina and 100percent Chicago. But she also has tiesto the supreme boss, Illinois HouseSpeaker Michael Madigan. And thatconnection could be problematic.

Like it or don’t like it, this is theway things roll in Chicago, whichremains, in its heart, the city of tribes.

Burn your Nike shoes. Burnevery one.

Cut the Nike swoosh out ofyour shirts and socks and sweat-wicking T-shirts. Let those holestell the world you protest thecompany’s decision to pick for-mer NFL quarterback ColinKaepernick as the face of its ad-vertising campaign celebratingthe 30th anniversary of the “JustDo It” slogan.

Burn it all. Right now.Kaepernick was the first player

to kneel while the national an-them was being played, a silentprotest of police brutality againstblack people. You have deemedthat deeply offensive to the flag,sensibly ignoring those who triedpatiently to explain that it hasnothing to do with the flag. Soyou must maintain maximumoutrage over Kaepernick’s placein Nike’s high-profile ad cam-paign.

You bristle at the tight close-upon Kaepernick’s eyes, the photo inblack and white, bearing thewords: “Believe in something.Even if it means sacrificing every-thing.”

How dare Nike, an enormousglobal corporation, make a care-fully considered business decisionthat suggests you’re on the wrongside of an issue and that yourworldview will not win out?

How dare Nike side with thosewho believe taking a stand againstinjustice might be even morepatriotic than standing during thenational anthem at a footballgame. NOTHING IS MOREPATRIOTIC THAN STANDINGDURING THE NATIONAL AN-THEM AT A FOOTBALLGAME, AND THAT IS DEFI-NITELY THE ONLY REASONYOU ARE SO OUTRAGED! YOUARE FOR SURE NOT TRYINGTO AVOID THE DIFFICULTSUBJECT OF RACE IN AMERI-CA! THAT’S A RIDICULOUSACCUSATION!

And so you must burn all yourNike gear, including any Converseshoes or apparel, because Nikeowns Converse. Burn it all up, realgood.

But don’t use all your matches,

because there’s more to beburned.

On Tuesday, none other thanthe CEO of the all-Americanjeans maker Levi Strauss & Co.wrote in an open letter publishedon Fortune magazine’s web pagethat he has sided with the liberalgun grabbers.

Chip Bergh wrote: “LeviStrauss & Co. is stepping up oursupport for gun violence preven-tion. … Americans shouldn’t haveto live in fear of gun violence. It’san issue that affects all of us — allgenerations and all walks of life.”

Bergh’s letter said the companyis teaming up with the Michael-Bloomberg-financed group Ev-erytown for Gun Safety and di-recting “more than $1 million inphilanthropic grants from LeviStrauss & Co. over the next fouryears to fuel the work of nonprof-its and youth activists who areworking to end gun violence inAmerica.”

You are shocked, I’m sure,about this development and can’twait to get home and burn thejeans off your body.

But there’s more. Bergh wenton to write: “We can’t insulateourselves from every threat. Wecan’t ‘harden’ every place wegather — whether it be ourschools, workplaces, shops,churches, or entertainment ven-

ues. But we can take common-sense, measurable steps — likecriminal background checks onall gun sales — that will savelives.”

You consider that outrageousand almost as bad as what Nike isdoing to destroy the game offootball and patriotism.

So, obviously, it’s jeans-burningtime. Drop those denim trousersand get out the kerosene. Douse’em and spark ’em up, and don’tforget to shoot video of the in-ferno with your phone so you canpost it on social media and teachthose First-Amendment-haters atLevi Strauss a lesson by destroy-ing a product you already bought.

And don’t stop at the jeans.Levi Strauss owns Dockers, soyou better torch your khakis andany “Signature PerformancePolo” shirts or “Performance Polowith Smart 360 Flex” shirts oranything that carries the Dockerslogo.

The fact that another majorcorporation has opted to cater to

the growing majority of Ameri-cans who disagree with one ofyour core beliefs, confirming yourposition on a path toward culturalobsolescence, shouldn’t lessenyour enthusiasm for ignitingitems of clothing to teach thatcorporation a lesson, even thoughthe lesson is one the corporationdisregarded long before the ideato burn perfectly good slacks evercrept into your head.

Burn the sneakers. Burn theclothes. Burn the whole darnwardrobe.

Don’t you dare questionwhether you might be the onewho’s wrong. Self-reflection andintellectual evolution is fortraitors like Kaepernick andBergh.

Your path is clear, patriot. Justdo it.

And don’t stop until you’vereached your sensible, patrioticend point: Standing tall — nakedand alone.

[email protected]

Protest change until you’re naked and alone!

SPENCER PLATT/GETTY

And so you mustburn all your Nikegear, including anyConverse shoes orapparel, because Nike owns Converse.But don’t use allyour matches, because there’s moreto be burned.

CHICAGOLAND

Rahm Emanuel couldnot have won the African-American vote needed tosecure his spot as a three-term mayor. LaquanMcDonald’s death hadseen to that.

The image of the 17-year-old lying on the pave-ment after Officer JasonVan Dyke pumped 16bullets into his body is tooingrained in African-American voters’ minds.

Whenever black peopletalk about McDonald,thoughts turn to Emanuelwho — despite his denials— many are convincedconspired for a year tokeep the police dash cam-era video of the shootinghidden from the public.

So on the eve of juryselection in the trial thatwill place Chicago centerstage in the national de-bate over police brutality,the mayor accused ofcovering up a police killingfor political gain an-nounced that he would notseek re-election.

Many African-Ameri-cans applauded.

Three years ago, blacksin Chicago turned out inforce to rescue Emanuelfrom an embarrassingrun-off defeat by CookCounty CommissionerJesus “Chuy” Garcia. Themayor won nearly 60percent of the vote in thecity’s 18 majority African-American wards on theSouth and West sides.

In a field of 13 contend-ers, Emanuel most likelywould have been forcedinto a run-off this time aswell. But African-Ameri-cans would not have hisback. Since the last elec-tion, they have become too

disillusioned and too angrywith the mayor.

They don’t like that heclosed so many publicschools in minority neigh-borhoods. They think hecould have done more tostop the shootings thatclaim hundreds of blacklives every year. Theyblame him for the poorrelationship between thepolice and African-Ameri-can communities. Theyinsist that he has paid toomuch attention to down-town business interests,while ignoring the Southand West sides.

But they despise him forthe way he handled theMcDonald case. Perhapshe deserves that.

Had it been a top pri-

ority, the mayor could havedone much more to ad-dress the issues thatplague Chicago’s blackcommunities. But it isunfair to blame Emanuelfor all of the problems inAfrican-American com-munities for decades. Italso would be unfair toignore the good that hap-pened in minority commu-nities because of him.

His commitment tosecuring the BarackObama Presidential Cen-ter in Woodlawn wasunshakable. There is nowa Whole Foods in Engle-wood and a Walmart inPullman.

These accomplishmentsmight not sound like a bigdeal to residents who takeaccess to fresh fruits andvegetables for granted. Butthey mean a lot to thepeople in a food desert.

However, these babysteps also are a testamentto just how neglectedsome of the city’s neigh-borhoods are. Residents onthe South and West sideshave continued to sufferfrom disinvestment whiletheir counterparts in moreaffluent neighborhoodshave seen so much devel-opment that they’ve grownweary of the cranes.

It is much easier toconvince a developer tobuild a multistory officecomplex in the West Loopthan to get the developerto consider a similar proj-ect in Woodlawn. Mostdevelopers are about mak-ing money, not revivingstruggling neighborhoods.

With the addition of the

Obama center in JacksonPark, the opportunities forgrowth on the South Sidewill be much improved.African-Americans canthank Emanuel for that.

Chicagoans should bewary of any mayoral candi-date who promises a quicksolution to the violence.The killings aren’t happen-ing simply because there iseasy access to guns. Theyare happening becausefrustrated people are clus-tered in communitieslacking in resources anddevoid of opportunities.

At least Emanuelseemed to understand thatwhile adding more policeofficers to violent neigh-borhoods might net morearrests, it would not fix theembedded woes caused bypoverty and destitution.

Recently, Emanuelannounced that his Neigh-

borhood OpportunityFund, which collects feesfrom downtown devel-opers and redistributes themoney to struggling neigh-borhoods, had grown tomore than $23 million.

As a result, $8.8 millionin grants will be handedout to seven businessesthat will use the money forthings such as an artscenter and a grocery storeon the West Side, a pizze-ria on the Southwest Sideand business incubators onthe South Side.

Perhaps if there had notbeen a Laquan McDonaldshooting, African-Ameri-cans would have lookedmore favorably on theseinvestments.

The mayor gave severalreasons for his decisionnot to run again. Amongthem was considerationfor his family and thedesire by him and his wifeto write a vague “newchapter together.”

We may never knowhow much of a role theMcDonald shooting playedin Emanuel’s decision towalk away. Surely, the trialwill draw more blood fromthe city’s open wound, assome of his rivals haveused the case to furtherweaken the mayor’s stand-ing among black voters.

Though Emanuel didnot mention McDonald inhis statement Tuesday, heacknowledged later thatpeople would include thekilling when evaluating histenure as mayor.

Many African-Ameri-cans already have reachedtheir decision.

No one expected themayor to step out of thering with so much unfin-ished business still on hisagenda. Perhaps that isbecause no one under-stood the depth of African-American grief overLaquan McDonald’s death.

Despite Rahm Emanuel’s denials, claims he suppressed the police video of Laquan McDonald’s shooting dogged him.

NUCCIO DINUZZO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE 2015

In Laquan McDonald slaying,mayor’s career was casualty

Dahleen Glanton

Since the last election, (black vot-ers) have become too disillusioned... with the mayor. ... But they de-spise him for how he handled theMcDonald case.

The city’s police over-sight agency has releasedvideo of Chicago police Offi-cer Robert Rialmo grabbinga man by his head andpulling him toward theground during a scuffle out-side a Northwest Side barover the summer — anoff-duty altercation thathappened three days afterhe was acquitted by a CookCounty judge of beating twomen in a tavern monthsearlier.

The altercation in mid-July is the latest in a series ofcontroversial incidents in-volving Rialmo, who stillfaces possible firing for fa-tally shooting a bat-wieldingteen and a bystander whileon duty in December 2015.

The latest incident hap-pened on the street outsideTeaser’s Pub, 7123 W. Hig-gins Avenue, about 3:40 a.m.July 13.

In a 13-second cellphonevideo released Tuesday bythe Civilian Office of PoliceAccountability, a shirtlessRialmo is seen trying towalk toward the man re-cording the footage of him,but the off-duty officer wasbeing held back by anotherman. Rialmo grabbed thatman’s arms and shoved himaway before that same manpushed Rialmo away fromthe man behind the camera.

“He’s a cop … supposedlya cop,” someone from be-hind the camera said loudly.“But he’s drunk,” that sameperson repeated four times.

At one point, Rialmo ap-pears to ask one or both ofthe men about apologizing.

“You can’t be a man aboutit, though, right? You can’tbe a man about it?” Rialmocould be heard saying.

Rialmo then grabbed oneof the men from the back ofhis head and pulled thatman toward the ground, thevideo shows.

The man who was pulledtoward the ground suffereda cut to his right upper lipbut refused medical atten-tion, according to a policereport provided by COPA.

The encounter stemmedfrom an alleged confronta-tion between Rialmo andtwo men inside Teaser’s Pubthat eventually spilled out-side.

According to the policereport, the men were head-ing to a Taco Burrito KingMexican restaurant acrossthe street when Rialmopulled up in his truck, gotout, took off his shirt andwent after one of the men.

Rialmo, however, saidone of the men spilled beeron him when they were atTeaser’s, according to thepolice report. When theoff-duty officer left the barto get food at the Mexicanrestaurant, he alleged hesaw the same man and

another man, both of whomthen pushed Rialmo. Theofficer said he pushed backand chased the man whospilled beer on him, but heran away, the report said.

In his use-of-force reporthe filed after the incident,Rialmo checked a boxmarked “gang-related” todescribe the actions of oneof the men, but the PoliceDepartment could not im-mediately elaborate on that.

Police spokesman An-thony Guglielmi saidWednesday that no chargeshave been filed over thefight and that Rialmo re-mains on paid desk duty.

The altercation camethree days after CookCounty Judge Daniel Galla-gher acquitted Rialmo oftwo counts of misdemeanorbattery stemming from afight captured on video inanother Northwest Side barin December. Rialmo hadtaken the stand to contendhe punched the men inself-defense and defense ofhis property after one triedto take his jacket near clos-ing time.

After the latest incidentin July, Rialmo’s attorney,Joel Brodsky, said the officerhad gotten off work about 1a.m. and went to Teaser’s.Two men recognized andharassed him, and onethrew beer on him, Brodskysaid. Outside, the menshouted at him, and onestarted video-recordinghim, the attorney said. Ri-almo told the man to stoprecording.

At some point, one of themen charged at Rialmo,Brodsky said, and the officer“swiped him to the side.”The officer did not throwany punches, the attorneysaid. Rialmo called 911, theattorney said.

On Wednesday, Brodskyreiterated that his client didnot start the altercation.

Even as COPA investi-gates the latest altercation,the agency is still investigat-ing the December fight. Ri-almo also faces potentialfiring by the Chicago PoliceBoard for the 2015 fatal,on-duty shooting of bat-wielding 19-year-old Quin-toinio LeGrier and 55-year-old Bettie Jones, who was abystander.

COPA

Hooray! The much-derided plan to plunk amodernist apartment build-ing on the roof of Chicago’sclassically inspired UnionStation apparently has beenshelved.

But don’t get too excited.It’s unclear what comesnext.

Ald. Brendan Reilly,42nd, on Sept. 11 will hold acommunity meeting tounveil revised plans, whichwould allow the firm rede-veloping the historic stationto build 400 hotel rooms

within the building and anoffice high-rise on the blockto its south.

The development team,Reilly said in an email toconstituents last week,“decided to completelyrevise their vision for theproject” after it was“deemed unacceptable bythe community and theAlderman due to architec-tural and traffic concerns.”

The original plans calledfor inserting a five-levelhotel within the eight-storystation and putting a seven-story, metal-and-glassapartment building on theroof. They were designedby Chicago architects Solo-mon Cordwell Buenz forRiverside Investment andDevelopment. Amtrakselected Chicago-basedRiverside last year for a $1billion-plus redevelopment

of the station and propertyaround it.

To put it mildly, the planswere not well-received.

In the Tribune on June26, I called the classical-modernist mash-up “ut-terly underwhelming” and“desultory” and said thatthe apartment addition“would bring to the forlornbut grand train station allthe grandeur of a HolidayInn.”

Others compared theproposed addition to an icecube for a colossal architec-tural headache, a self-inkedaddress stamper, or a sub-urban office building liftedoff its foundations by atornado and dropped atopthe neoclassical station.

So what comes next?The Chicago Sun-Times

last Friday published ren-derings that show an office

high-rise of about 45 storieson the block to the south ofUnion Station. In the ren-derings, which show anoutdoor plaza on that block,the apartment addition toUnion Station is gone.

It is not known whicharchitectural firm designedthat plan. Matt Larson, aspokesman for GoettschPartners, which is known tohave been working on ahigh-rise on the blocksouth of the station, de-clined to comment Tues-day.

Whatever the reviseddesign turns out to be, thedecision to jettison theoriginal plan is a majorvictory for historic preser-vationists.

Inspired by Daniel Burn-ham’s 1909 Plan of Chicagoand completed in 1925,Union Station was granted

official city landmark statusin 2002. It is the last greathistoric railroad terminalstill in use in Chicago and isone of the nation’s mostarchitecturally and histori-cally significant passengerrailroad stations. It wasdesigned by Burnham’ssuccessor firm, GrahamAnderson Probst & White.

Putting a hotel in the

station made perfect sense.Plunking an apartmenthigh-rise on top of it madenone.

Sometimes, the bestaddition is no addition.

A player took a chunk outof the McHenry VFWQueen of Hearts pot thisweek — but the game con-tinues to grow, with a $3.6million prize awaiting thegrand prize winner.

A McHenry residentidentified only as Mark K.drew the queen of clubsTuesday night, worth 5 per-cent of the pot or $277,621.That means the weeklydrawing continues for an-other week, with eight con-cealed cards remaining, anda total pot of more than $6million.

The winner of the run-ner-up prize didn’t say whathe’ll do with the money, buthe plans to spend it wisely —with the help of a financial

planner.VFW Post Cmdr. Dwane

Lungren said that Mark K.wishes to remain anony-mous, which the post willhonor. The winner stoppedby the post after the raffledrawing to confirm his goodfortune.

“He was definitely kindof shell-shocked,” Lungrensaid. “You could tell he wasvery shook up. He’d neverwon anything before in hislife. This was the first time,and he only played $5. Youonly need one ticket to win.”

The current game startedin November 2016 with adeck of 52 cards plus twojokers, all concealed in en-velopes, numbered ran-domly one through 54, anddisplayed under glass on alocked board. Players buyraffle tickets and write onthem the number of theenvelope they guess con-tains the queen of hearts.Each week, one raffle ticketis picked out of a bin, and

one envelope is opened. Ifthe queen of hearts isdrawn, the player wins, andthe game is over.

If any other card isdrawn, the game continuesuntil the next week. All thetickets are thrown out afterthe drawing each week, andparticipants must buy newtickets. Players who get aticket drawn win $100, andthe queen of clubs wins thesecond prize of 5 percent ofthe pot. The game restartswith a new deck when ajoker is chosen.

The post will keep 20percent of the pot for itsown renovations and veter-ans’ charities, while 20 per-cent will roll over to start anew game next year, afterpost volunteers and workerstake a breather.

Having sold nearly onemillion tickets last week, atsix tickets for $5, Lungrenexpects to top that easilythis week, with sales at thepost attracting long lines

every day of the week ex-cept Monday. The drawingsattract about 500 peopleinside the hall, and another200 outside.

The next drawing is 8p.m. Tuesday, and again willbe streamed live on Face-book.

The post’s raffle licenseissued by the city limits thetotal pot to $10 million andthe top prize to $6 million. Ifthe game continues with noimmediate winner, Lungrenexpects it to hit the cap inseveral weeks, in which casepost officials would hold aone-night draw-down, re-vealing every card untilsomeone wins. He does notexpect city officials to raisethe limit again as they haverepeatedly in the past.

The raffle money iscounted by post employees,stored temporarily in a safeand deposited frequently ata bank, Lungren said. Afterthe game ends, the post’sraffle license requires it to

report to the city theamount collected and dis-tributed.

Each week, a representa-tive of the city or a memberof the audience is chosen topick the winning ticket outof a rolling bin. The numberof tickets has grown so large,the post had to buy a newbin last week.

To calculate the odds ofwinning, University of Chi-cago mathematics professorGregory Lawler said, thedrawing of the raffle ticketand the drawing of theplaying card are “independ-ent events” for which the“product rule” holds, mean-ing that the probability canbe calculated by multiplyingthe individual probabilities.

That means the chancethat someone would winthe pot Tuesday would be 1in 8, for the number ofremaining cards. Thechance that a particularperson who held one raffleticket will win would be

about 1 in 8 million, if amillion tickets are sold.

The odds of a $1 ticketmatching all six numbers towin the $13 million prizeTuesday in the Illinois Lottogame, by contrast, lotteryofficials estimate, were 1 in20 million. The odds ofwinning the Powerballgrand prize are 1 in 292million.

On Sept. 16, friends andcolleagues who touchedmany parts of Val Camillet-ti’s life will meet up atFitzGerald’s Nightclub inBerwyn to pay tribute tothe owner of Val’s HallaRecords, who died July 24after a two-year battle withbreast cancer.

“It will be a celebrationof her life with lots ofsinging, lots of laughter,good food and good music,”said Andy Mead, a long-time friend who is organiz-ing the event. “It’ll be acelebration she would haveloved.”

FitzGerald’s is at 6615 W.Roosevelt Road, Berwyn.

“It will be an opportuni-ty for friends and associ-ates to gather and chat andshare memories. It shouldbe quite an event,” said BillFitzGerald, owner of thenightclub and a long-timefriend.

Folks will start to gather

for “And the Beat Goes On,Spend A Day CelebratingVal,” at 3 p.m. The officialkickoff will be at 4 p.m.,with hosts Steve Parkerand WXRT radio host TerriHemmert offering theirown memories.

Some of Camilletti’s fa-vorite music acts will be onthe bandstand, includingthe Beatle-leles, FallingStars, Ian Leith, Expo ’76and The What 4. The Singto Live Community Cho-rus, a chorus of womenwhose lives have been tou-ched by breast cancer, alsowill perform.

Between acts, peoplewill be able to tell their ownstories and perform, Parkersaid.

“It will be an open mike.We’re asking people whowere involved with her inthe community, not at thestore, to say some thingsabout Val,” Parker said.“She offered encourage-ment and support to any-one who had a kid in music.She had a relationship with

a lot of the kids. I’m hopingthey come here.”

Tickets won’t be sold.It’s a free event, with a $10voluntary donation takenfor three of her favoritecharities: Make a Wish, theAnimal Care League andMusic Cares, an organiza-tion that aids musicians inneed of medical, personaland financial assistance,Mead said.

The idea for the gather-ing started coming to-gether shortly after thestore’s annual Halla-palooza, which took placedays after she died. Severalof her good friends knewthey wanted to do some-thing to celebrate her life,said Mead.

“We held her very andnear to our hearts. She wasour partner in arms withfood, music and life. Wewant to send her off instyle,” Mead said.

Event to honor record store ownerBy Deborah KadinPioneer Press


Rahm Emanuel waselected mayor of Chicagoon Feb, 22, 2011. Four dayslater, he showed up at aneighborhood theater. Hisappearance made nationalheadlines; the attendantpublicity helped makecareers.

The venue was TheaterWit and the play in ques-tion was “A Twist of Water,”a collaboration betweentwo young, Chicago-edu-cated women, Caitlin Mon-tanye Parrish and EricaWeiss, now the co-authorsof a new and Chicago-based CBS drama series,“The Red Line.” Lyrical,searching and beautiful, theplay strove to define a be-loved but complicated citythat just gained new leader-ship.

“We are the children of arisk taken,” said the deeplyempathetic central charac-ter, a struggling Chicagoteacher and single father.

He was desperately tryingto believe his own opti-mistic words.

That was 2011. Time andthe curse of police miscon-duct and pervasive gunviolence would erode theoptimism of that beginningmoment, that seemingrebirth, as surely for theprogressive artists of thecity as, no doubt, for themayor himself.

But the Tuesday newsthat Emanuel would notseek a third mayoral termwas still the occasion foralarm.

“The thing about Chi-cago that’s pretty special,”said Roche Schulfer, execu-tive director of the Good-man Theatre, “is that thearts are considered part ofthe basic fabric of the city.You just don’t see that inmany other places. Rahmand Amy (Rule) understoodthat. That’s their mentality.That’s their understand-ing.”

There certainly is ampleevidence for Schulfer’sassertion. Emanuel put inplace a public-private planfor the renovation of theUptown Theatre, some-thing previous adminis-trations conspicuously had

failed to do. The crumblingTheater on the Lake inLincoln Park was rehabili-tated. Chicago’s arts-basedfestivals mostly flourished.When Jeffrey Seller, theproducer of “Hamilton,”needed a power line onNortherly Island to makepossible his tented Al-exander Hamilton exhib-ition, Emanuel got thatdone, too, after making surethat public school studentswould be able to get in forfree. He liked that Sellerhad not played one cityagainst another.

Emanuel’s mayoral pod-cast most often featured themayor talking with culturalpeople: Miguel Cervantesof “Hamilton”; DavidSchwimmer of the Look-ingglass Theatre; RainnWilson, appearing at theSteppenwolf Theatre Com-pany; Michael PatrickThornton of the Gift Thea-tre; the award-winning chefJoe Flamm.

His successive commis-sioners of cultural affairs,Michelle T. Boone andMark Kelly, have beenregarded as highly effec-tive. At Chicago Shake-speare Theater, Emanuel isbeloved not just for his

support of major new con-struction projects on NavyPier but for his creation ofNight Out in the Parks, aneighborhood fixture thatbegan when Emanuelfound himself watching“The Taming of the Shrew”in 2012 in Garfield Park andhas resulted in thousandsof free outdoor perform-ances in parks all over thecity.

“Rahm has been a holis-tic gift to the city,” BarbaraGaines, the artistic directorof Chicago Shakespeare,said Tuesday, soundingdeeply sad. “He paid atten-tion to the arts, he hasshown us love, attentionand support.”

And, of course, he hastalked constantly about hisown experience, albeitbrief, as a dancer. Formerdancers represent a verysmall group of big-citymayors.

Then there’s the behind-the-scenes muscling: thebringing of prominent andfrequently reluctant CEOsto the table, the personalphone calls in support of anarts organization’s capitalproject, the promotion ofChicago culture to visitingdignitaries.

He has done that too.And — arguably most sig-nificantly of all — he hasshown up in person at artsinstitutions big and small. Afew weeks ago, he wasyukking it up at the annualgala of the Black EnsembleTheater.

These acts of supporthave not always made thepapers.

As Emanuel announcedhis decision, cultural pro-fessionals were meetingwith city officials aboutplans to designate 2019 asthe year of Chicago theater.Presumably that will con-tinue with a new adminis-tration.

Presumably.“I haven’t heard any of

the other candidates com-municate anything aboutthe arts,” Schufler saidTuesday. “But I am going tobe an optimist and assumethat will happen as thingsbecome clearer.”

Emanuel wasn’t the firstChicago mayor to boosterits cultural institutions:Mayor Richard M. Daleypresided over the creationof the downtown theaterdistrict, transforming theafter-dark Loop, and MayorHarold Washington was

widely regarded as an arts-loving mayor. Where somesee artists, of course, otherssee sycophantic celebritieslooking for exposure and amayor who should havebeen spending more timewith different, less privi-leged Chicagoans. And it ispossible to care about thearts, admire Emanuel’scontribution in that arenaand still wish to see a newmayor.

So stipulated. But toargue that Emanuel saw thearts merely as a way tobuild the Loop economydoes not match the facts.Emanuel uttered the adjec-tive “neighborhood” inconcert with the noun“arts” so frequently, to notbelieve his sincere desire tobring culture to all Chi-cagoans would mean youwere accusing him of aseries of bold-faced lies. Inthat philosophy, which heconstantly put into fiscal,political and emotionalaction, he got much lesscredit from the progressivewing than he deserved.

Mayor’s departure a loss to arts in Chicago

Chris Jones

family, Emanuel couldn’thelp but take a parting shotat the dozen former chal-lengers, predicting none ofthem would become mayor.

For the Chicago mayoralhopefuls still in the race,Wednesday mostly wasabout moving on fromEmanuel.

“Now that Rahm is out ofthe race, I think that peopleare going to look at us in aslightly different way,” saidLori Lightfoot, a formerfederal prosecutor who an-nounced her run for mayorin May. “It’s not just meas-uring up against Rahm, butlooking at the breadth ofexperience that we bring tothe job.”

Part of the candidates’push to convince votersthey are the right person torun the nation’s third-larg-est city will be to differenti-ate themselves from theirfellow contenders. Little ofthat had happened to date,as the dozen candidatesmostly had railed againstEmanuel or announcedplans they contrasted withthe mayor’s record.

In a sign of what’s tocome, Lightfoot onWednesday looked to setherself apart from two ofthe other higher-profilecandidates in the race so far— former Chicago PublicSchools CEO Paul Vallasand former Chicago policeSuperintendent Garry Mc-Carthy.

In an interview, Lightfootsaid her experience as aformer federal prosecutor;deputy procurement officerfor the city; chief of staff andgeneral counsel for the Chi-cago Office of EmergencyManagement and Commu-nications; head of the PoliceDepartment’s former in-house agency for investigat-ing police misconduct; andher role as Police Boardpresident was more expan-sive than the resume ofanyone else in the race.

“That’s a breadth ofknowledge, experience andrunning complicated citydepartments that nobody inthe race has, Paul Vallasincluded,” Lightfoot said.“I’m the only person whohas that level of experi-ence.”

In another shot at Vallas,Lightfoot said she wasbuilding a citywide cam-paign, “not talking aboutwhat I did 20 years ago,” areference to his tenure asformer Mayor Richard M.Daley’s budget director andChicago Public SchoolsCEO.

Vallas, who had shown awillingness to mix it upwith Emanuel, wasted notime in responding to Light-foot. He laughed at howLightfoot had equated dep-uty positions under Daley tohis experience as budgetdirector and CPS CEO, notto mention his time runningschool districts in Philadel-phia, New Orleans andBridgeport, Conn. In total,Vallas said, he spent 14 yearsmanaging multibillion-dol-lar budgets between histime at City Hall and vari-ous school districts.

“I don’t know how torespond to someone whowas the deputy procure-ment officer. How manybudgets has she balanced?”Vallas said of Lightfoot.“With the exception of Mc-Carthy, who was police su-perintendent, how manybudgets have any of the restof these people balanced?How many collective bar-gaining agreements havethey negotiated? How manyschools have they built?How many bond rating up-grades have they achieved?I hired procurement offi-cers — probably about 12 ofthem. I’ve had law depart-ments that worked for me. Irebuilt an entire school sys-tem after HurricaneKatrina — an entire schoolsystem. Come on.”

Lightfoot also sought todistinguish herself fromMcCarthy on the same daythat white police officerJason Van Dyke’s murdertrial got underway in the2014 shooting of LaquanMcDonald. The controver-sial shooting ended up ele-vating Lightfoot’s publicprofile, as Emanuel tappedher to head a police reformtask force to recommendchanges in the wake of theMcDonald shooting.

For nearly a year, Emanu-el fought releasing policevideo of the shooting, inwhich Van Dyke shot theblack teenager 16 times as

he walked down a South-west Side Street holding afolding knife. The mayor’sadministration also reacheda $5 million settlement withthe McDonald family be-fore a lawsuit ever was filed.

When a judge orderedEmanuel to release the vi-deo in November 2015,then-Cook County State’sAttorney Anita Alvarezcharged Van Dyke withmurder the same day. Thevideo’s release led to sus-tained protests, accusationsof a City Hall cover-up andcalls for Emanuel’s resigna-tion. Amid the fallout,Emanuel fired McCarthy,saying the top cop had lostthe public’s trust.

McCarthy, who previ-ously served as police com-missioner in Newark, N.J.,and in the leadership of theNew York City Police De-partment, has said he dideverything he could havedone in the case, which wasput Van Dyke on desk dutypending the criminal inves-tigations. He has accusedthe city’s former top lawyer,Stephen Patton, of orches-trating a cover-up butstopped short of accusingEmanuel of being involved.Patton has denied thoseallegations.

On Wednesday, Lightfootraised questions about Mc-Carthy’s background.

“Garry’s got a trackrecord. People are going tolook at what he did in NewYork and what happened inNewark. They’re going tolook at what he did here anddid he bring people to-gether or did he dividepeople?” she said. “AndGarry is going to have toanswer a lot of questionsregarding the LaquanMcDonald case, the video,what judgments weremade, what statementswere made — all of thathappened on Garry’s watch.All of that is fair game.”

McCarthy did not re-spond to a request for aninterview but released astatement defending histhree decades in policing.

“Go ahead and look at myrecord. I’m damn proud ofit,” McCarthy said. “I’mproud of the more than 30years of public service, pro-viding leadership to broadand racially-diverse organi-

zations and wherever Iserved, we’ve managed tobring down violent crimeusing a holistic strategy thatencouraged more socialservices and more interac-tion with the communities.”

Vallas said that withEmanuel out, new scrutinywill be placed on whatconcrete ideas candidateshave for the city’s future.

“What are you going todo? Where’s the beef?” heasked. “I haven’t been run-ning against Rahm. I’vebeen trying to articulatewith great specificity whatI’m going to do about theissues the city is facing.Rahm’s out. Now you got toput up or shut up. Whathave you really done in yourpast that prepares you torun a multibillion-dollargovernmental enterprisethat is not only in crisisfinancially but is in crisis interms of its inability toprovide the critical sup-ports that communitiesneed to remain viable?”

Lightfoot, though, saidEmanuel’s record still willmatter and be a major partof the race, in part becauseshe expects at least one ofhis allies to run.

“The mayor’s record isstill very relevant, particu-larly so, because I think itwill be shocking if someonewho is, in effect, a proxy forRahm Emanuel doesn’t stepinto the race,” she said. “Istill think his record re-mains relevant for a host ofreasons.”

Activist and candidateJa’Mal Green has been onthe lookout for the same.

“Watch out for whomev-er Rahm puts into the race!We don’t need any moremachine politicians,” Greentweeted. “Educate yourcommunity and your family.If we want this city to workfor US it has to be acandidate that works for thePEOPLE!”

‘One-trick pony’The day after abruptly

dropping his bid for a thirdterm, Emanuel predictedthat whoever succeeds himas mayor has yet to declarehis or her candidacy.

Emanuel told WGN-AM720 host Steve Cochran hedoesn’t think any of the 12

announced candidates forthe fifth-floor office at CityHall has the skill set to dothe job.

“No,” Emanuel said whenCochran asked himwhether the next mayor isin the race. “I don’t think so.And here’s the thing: Thepublic knows that this is avery big job, and the mayorcannot be a one-trick pony.You can’t just speak on oneissue. You got to do econo-mic development, you got todo education policy, you gotto be able to get money outof Springfield and Washing-ton. You’ve got to have anability to actually invest inour neighborhoods, trans-portation, libraries, schoolsand park system.”

Behind the scenes, plentyof big names were dippingtheir toes in the mayoralpond, gauging potentialsupport. They include CookCounty President ToniPreckwinkle, 2011 mayoralcandidate Gery Chico, Illi-nois Comptroller SusanaMendoza, former WhiteHouse chief of staff BillDaley, city Treasurer KurtSummers, Cook CountyClerk David Orr andMichael Sacks, the CEO ofinvestment firm GCMGrosvenor, who is Emanu-el’s close friend, confidantand top campaign donor.

Arne Duncan, the formersecretary of education forthen-President BarackObama and a onetime CPSCEO, and former Obamasenior adviser Valerie Jar-rett also long have beenfloated as possible mayoralcandidates, though therehas been no confirmationeither is weighing a bid.

Madigan, the attorneygeneral, ended any specu-lation about a possible run.

“I am a lifelong residentof Chicago. I care deeply forthe city,” Madigan said in astatement. “There are a lotof challenges facing Chi-cago, and I plan to continuehelping as a resident andnot as mayor.”

In addition to Lightfoot,Vallas, McCarthy andGreen, the field of currentcontenders includes mil-lionaire businessman WillieWilson, Cook County Cir-cuit Court Clerk DorothyBrown, Chicago principalsassociation President Troy

LaRaviere, tech entrepre-neur Neal Sales-Griffin, at-torney John Kozlar, phar-maceutical technician andDePaul student MatthewRoney, policy consultantAmara Enyia and South-west Side lawyer JerryJoyce.

“My view is … the list isnot done,” Emanuel saidWednesday. “It’s going toshake out for about amonth, and then the voterswill make a smart decisionof who can fill that office.And what I mean by that is,you’re not going to shrinkthe mayoralty, and there’sgot to be a mayor thatactually fills this job.”

McCarthy waved offEmanuel’s parting shotswith a statement that alsodrew attention to issuesbesides policing.

“We don’t concern our-selves with Rahm any-more,” McCarthy said.“He’s not running primarilybecause of his dismal recordon education in our poorestneighborhoods and hisstripping away of the socialservices net for the peoplein our struggling communi-ties who need them themost.”

Lightfoot said she wasn’tsurprised Emanuel couldn’thelp but bash those whohad stepped up to challengehim, because “he took thetemperature, read the pollsand he could see there wasno path forward for him.”

“Of course, he says hedoesn’t think anyone in thecurrent race is going to bethe next mayor. To admitanything less than thatwould be to, frankly, rein-vigorate the reality, which ishe got out because hecouldn’t win,” Lightfootsaid. “If he thought he couldwin and he thought therewas a clear path, there is noquestion that guy — ascompetitive as he is and asruthless as he is — he wouldhave stayed in. This is a guywho loves power, who lovesmaximizing and flexing hispower. He got out becausehe couldn’t win.”

Even with Emanuel out, foes say his record a targetCampaign, from Page 1


A throng of protestersgathered outside CookCounty’s criminal court-house Wednesday to markthe start of Chicago policeOfficer Jason Van Dyke’smurder trial, waving signsand chanting the now-fa-miliar slogan: “16 shots anda cover-up!”

As about 100 demon-strators occupied a stretchof grass near California Ave-nue, nearly twice that num-ber of potential jurors hadto walk past them one byone to reach the court-house.

Later, their faces lookedsomber as half of the 200potential jurors crowdedinto Judge Vincent Gaugh-an’s courtroom.

When they learned theycould be deciding VanDyke’s fate, a few of themgave each other knowinglooks and nods. One womancovered her mouth with herhand.

In two different sessionsover the course of about twohours, Gaughan kicked offthe jury selection processfor the most closelywatched trial in CookCounty in years.

Van Dyke stood and qui-etly greeted the potentialjurors after the judge intro-duced him as the defendant.As usual, his father accom-panied him to court.

A row in the back of thecourtroom was reserved forfamily and supporters ofLaquan McDonald, the 17-year-old killed by Van Dykein an on-duty shooting in2014. McDonald’s motherwas in the courtroom formuch of the day.

Police dashboard cameravideo released in 2015 bycourt order shows VanDyke opening fire withinseconds of exiting his squadcar as McDonald, holding aknife, appeared to walkaway from police, contra-dicting reports from officersat the scene that the blackteen had threatened officerswith the weapon. The re-lease of the video more than

a year after the shootingsparked months of protestsand political upheaval.

An extra-large pool ofpotential jurors wasbrought in Wednesday totry to ensure enough peoplewho could remain impartialin the face of the massivepublicity can be found.

Wednesday’s sessionswere largely uneventful,with Gaughan readingaloud the lengthy indict-ment and instructing thepotential jurors on the bas-ics of courtroom procedure.Each swore an oath toanswer questions truthfullyand were escorted out of the

courtroom to fill out apresumably extensive ques-tionnaire on their back-grounds and opinions.

The judge, who has keptthe questionnaire underseal for fear of tainting thejury pool, declined to re-lease a blank copy to report-ers Wednesday.

The jury selection proc-ess will begin in earnest onMonday when Gaughanquestions potential jurorsindividually in private withthe attorneys and a rotationof reporters looking on.

After the potential jurorshad left the room for theday, Van Dyke’s lead lawyer,

Daniel Herbert, requestedthat the entire group beremoved from consider-ation because all of thempresumably had to walkpast the protesters to makeit into the courthouse.

“I walked through agauntlet,” he said. “It almostmade it like you were spec-tating at a zoo. You couldn’thelp but look.”

The demonstrators as-sembled on the lawn be-tween California Avenueand California Boulevardearly Wednesday, posi-tioning themselves on thewide parkway between theparking garage and theLeighton Criminal CourtBuilding.

The crowd, diverse in ageand race, loudly chanted “16shots and a cover-up!” asdrivers passing the demon-stration slowed to gawk.Some protesters broughthand-drawn signs, includ-ing one woman whose signread, “Who do I call when acriminal has a badge?”

Another protester, stand-ing on the walkway leadingto the courthouse, held asign with Van Dyke'smugshot accompanied bythe word “guilty” in boldcapital lettering.

Kane County State’s At-

torney Joseph McMahon,acting as special prosecutorin McDonald’s killing, toldthe judge there was noevidence that the protestershad any effect on the jurypanel.

The judge said any po-tential prejudice would beweeded out when jurors arequestioned beginning nextweek.

After Gaughan learnedthat a woman spectator hadcome to court in a shirtreading “Jason Van Dyke?Murder,” he told attorneysto keep those watchingfrom the courtroom galleryin line.

The woman, who wassitting in the row reservedfor McDonald’s family andfriends, was escorted out ofthe courtroom by sheriff’sdeputies once the shirt wasnoticed. She was allowedback inside after turning itinside out and covering itwith a sweater.

“Both sides have got tocontrol what’s going onhere because I’m not goingto tolerate it,” said Gaughan,who has held spectators incontempt in other high-profile trials. “I’m going tostart putting people in jail.”

Meanwhile, McDonald’srelatives believe they were

mistreated after a mix-upmeant only eight of the 23family members in attend-ance could get seats insidethe courtroom. The Rev.Marvin Hunter, who isMcDonald’s great-uncle,said he had given the namesto prosecutors in advanceand expressed anger thatroom wasn’t reserved foreverybody.

Van Dyke and his sup-porters received two rowsin the front of the court-room, while McDonald’srelatives — including hismother and sister — wereassigned one toward theback.

“We feel betrayed,” saidHunter, who is the familypatriarch. “It’s very disap-pointing because we trustedthese people.”

Hunter said he wants tospeak with prosecutors be-fore deciding whether thefamily returns for the trial.It’s possible the seating con-fusion was part of first-daykinks, he said, but hedoesn’t want his family tobe disrespected.

“We are not going toaccept it,” he said. “I’m notgoing to subject my familyto this again.”

A spokesman for theprosecution referred allquestions to the CookCounty sheriff ’s office,which did not immediatelyrespond to a request forcomment.

Also Wednesday,Gaughan held a closed-doorhearing with an unspecifiednumber of potential wit-nesses who have objected tohaving their trial testimonycaptured on photo or video.

While the process to picka jury has begun, Van Dyke’sdefense team could stilldecide that it would preferGaughan alone determinethe veteran officer’s fate.The defense has not for-mally declared its decision— one it can make withoutGaughan’s permission untilthe 12th juror is sworn in.

Another unansweredquestion hangs over theselection process: Gaughanhas said he will not rule onthe defense’s request tomove the trial outside Chi-cago until after the juryquestioning has begun.

Tina Hunter, mother of slain teen Laquan McDonald, ar-

rives at Leighton Criminal Court Building on Wednesday.

After weeks of talks,both sides told U.S. Dis-trict Judge Robert Dow Jr.last week that theyplanned to litigate thematter in court.

But on Wednesday —the day after Emanuel an-nounced he would notseek a third term — themayor’s team agreed to theprovision, according tosources who were not au-thorized to discuss theagreement publicly. Thedetails of how officerswould record such in-stances were not availablelate Wednesday but wereexpected to be presentedto Dow in a Thursdaycourt hearing, the sourcessaid.

A court motion thatMadigan’s office filed lateWednesday said there nolonger would be a need toargue the gun-pointing is-sue in court, stating thatthe two sides “have anagreement on the issue ofwhether CPD will requireofficers to record instancesin which they point afirearm at a person.”

Neither Madigan’s norEmanuel’s offices re-sponded to requests forcomment Wednesday.

While Madigan andEmanuel made a draft oftheir consent decreeagreement public in July,they still need to submit anew version in court afterreceiving public com-ment. That is not ex-pected to happen Thurs-day, the sources said, be-cause Madigan andEmanuel’s offices still arewading through the 1,700public comments col-lected on the proposedconsent decree and con-sidering tweaks based onthat input.

In addition, Dow hassaid the public would beable to submit writtencomments on the pro-posed consent decree andthat he planned to holdhearings on Oct. 24 and 25

to hear public comment onthe agreement.

A consent decree forc-ing reforms in the ChicagoPolice Department is adirect result of the LaquanMcDonald police shooting,for which officer JasonVan Dyke’s murder trialbegan this week.

For the better part of ayear Emanuel fought incourt against releasing vi-deo footage of Van Dyke,who is white, shootingMcDonald 16 times as theblack teen walked down aSouthwest Side streetholding a folding knife.The mayor’s administra-tion also agreed to pay a $5million settlement toMcDonald’s family beforea lawsuit was even filed.

In November 2015,when a judge orderedEmanuel to release thevideo, Van Dyke wascharged with murder bythen-State’s Attorney Ani-ta Alvarez on the same daythe shooting footage wasmade public. The video ledto sustained street pro-tests, accusations of a CityHall cover-up and calls forEmanuel’s resignation.

It also led to a yearlongfederal civil rights investi-gation by then-PresidentBarack Obama’s U.S. Jus-tice Department, whichfound widespread prob-lems within the Police De-partment, including regu-lar misconduct and the useof excessive force. Obama’sJustice Department calledfor a federal consent de-cree, to which Emanuelagreed before later tryingto negotiate an out-of-court deal with the newRepublican PresidentDonald Trump’s adminis-tration.

Madigan called thoseefforts “ludicrous” andsued Emanuel’s adminis-tration in August 2017 toforce a consent decree.The mayor agreed to nego-tiations with Madigan’s of-fice shortly later.

As the gun-pointing de-bate aired publicly, the

American Civil LibertiesUnion of Illinois called theprovision a common-senserequirement while Chi-cago Fraternal Order ofPolice President KevinGraham said it would “ab-solutely” put officers atrisk.

When Emanuel andMadigan unveiled thedraft consent decree inJuly, though, the mayorpushed back on the gun-pointing issue, noting thatneither the Obama JusticeDepartment’s final reportnor a report by the may-or’s own Police Account-ability Task Force raisedthe matter. Johnson saidthe CPD would “negotiatein good faith” but raisedconcerns about putting“officers in a situation thatcauses them to hesitate,”which he said could“mean the loss of life foran officer or loss of life fora citizen in this city.”

For her part, Madigansternly insisted at that Julynews conference that noprovision of the consentdecree, including record-ing when an officer pointsa gun, would “compromiseofficer safety.” She notedthat the Justice Depart-ment investigation foundthe CPD had a history of“unreasonable uses offorce” and had not kept arecord of it.

“If somebody has a gunpointed at them, you have asituation where somebodyhas been seized. We needto know when that ishappening. We need toknow where that is hap-pening,” Madigan said.“We need to make surethat we are managing risk,that officers are followingand receiving the trainingthey need, that they areheld accountable and theyare not putting themselvesin unsafe situations, andthat residents of the city ofChicago are not in unsafesituations.”

Sterigenics, a Willow-brook company being scru-tinized for its use of acancer-causing chemical,said Monday that within thenext week a third partywould test the effectivenessof new emissions controlequipment it installed inJuly.

The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency collectedair samples at some spotsnear Sterigenics’ buildingsin May with levels of ethyl-ene oxide that its modelsshowed were higher thanthe EPA considers safe overthe long term, according tothe latest research.

Sterigenics officials havesaid their air quality controlsystems are state of the artand the new equipment willreduce ethylene oxide emis-sions by 90 percent.

In order to test the equip-ment, however, the plantsneed to be operating, so thecompany will not cease op-erations as local, county andstate officials requested in aletter sent to SterigenicsAug. 31.

“We plan to test andvalidate the upgrade of ourcontrol system within thenext week,” Sterigenicsreplied Sept. 3. “We areworking with a third-partyto administer the testingand we welcome your par-ticipation in this process tofacilitate transparency.”

The EPA had said itplanned to retest emissionsfrom Sterigenics by the endof September. After many ofthe more than 400 peoplewho attended a public fo-rum Aug. 29 took EPA and

Sterigenics officials to taskfor not doing enough toprotect them from a chemi-cal the EPA upgraded inDecember 2016 from “prob-ably carcinogenic” to “car-cinogenic to humans,” gov-ernment officials said theywould expedite those tests.

Sterigenics officials saidMonday they hope the U.S.and Illinois EPA can partici-pate in its tests, but if notthey will proceed with thethird party tests and workwith the EPA to schedule atime to repeat the tests.

Concerned about theproximity of HinsdaleSouth High School to Ster-igenics’ buildings, at 7775Quincy St. and 830 MidwayDrive, Hinsdale District 86officials will ask the EPA toset up air monitoring equip-ment at the edge of theschool property. The highschool, at 7401 S. ClarendonHills Road in Darien, and itsbaseball fields are between ahalf-mile and three-fourthsof a mile northwest of Ster-igenics’ facilities.

Gower ElementarySchool, at 7941 S. MadisonSt., and Gower MiddleSchool, at 7650 ClarendonHills Road, are even closer.District 86 superintendentBruce Law said he hastalked to the Gower super-intendent, who also wantsthe EPA to monitor airquality at the Gowerschools’ perimeters.

District 86 uses UnitedAnalytical Services Inc. asan environmental consult-ant. Kevin Aikman, thefirm’s director of industrialhygiene services, attended

the Aug. 29 forum and gave areport to the Hinsdale Dis-trict 86 Board Tuesday. Aik-man recommended the dis-trict become part of EPA’stesting, rather than conductits own independent tests.

With the information thepublic has, it’s difficult tojudge the danger the emis-sions pose, Aikman said.

A lot will depend onwhich way the wind isblowing, he said. Aikmansaid he reviewed 10 years ofweather data and found thepredominant winds atO’Hare airport are from thewest, southwest and south.

When asked about therisk to students and staff atHinsdale South, he said, hislitmus test is, “Would I let mychildren go to South basedon this data? My response isyes,” Aikman said.

The Illinois Departmentof Public Health notifiedWillowbrook Mayor FrankTrilla that the agency willconduct a cancer incidencestudy to assess whetherthere are a higher number ofcancer cases in the popula-tion surrounding Sterigen-ics’ Willowbrook facilities,which are in a business parkeast of Route 83 and north ofthe Stevenson Expressway.

Company officials saidthe Willowbrook facility ex-ceeds all compliance re-quirements set by the U.S.EPA and remains commit-ted to operating in a waythat does not pose a risk tothe community or its em-ployees.

asking officials to stop its operations and leave the area.

Gurnee, Naperville andChicago’s Rogers Parkneighborhood. Othersthere Tuesday night saidthey used the oasis as astaging area before pickingup relatives and friendsarriving at nearby O’HareInternational Airport.

Trucker Bobby Luth, ofDeerfield, said he’d stopthere every week for lunchand water. On Tuesdaynight, about an hour beforesecurity guards locked thedoors, he had stopped onhis way to Joliet. Luth saidhe was hoping to score achocolate shake fromMcDonald’s, but it hadclosed. He settled for hand-fuls of 25-cent candy andgum from dispensers.

“I don’t like that it’sclosing,” said Luth, addingthat he can maneuver hislarge semi and trailer intofew places as easily as hecan at the oasis. “The con-venience absolutely can’tbe beat. I love it.”

He said he doubted thatthe additional lanes wereworth the cost to govern-ments and taxpayers.

Tasha Lumpkin had ahankering for a Panda Ex-press meal after finishingher shift at O’Hare Airport,where she works assistingagents directing planes togates.

“Oh no!” Lumpkin, ofChicago, said, when shelearned that the restaurantand — more importantly —the oasis were closed per-manently. “I’m going tomiss it,” she said of the

oasis. “It’s part of Illinoishistory. It’s an Illinois treas-ure.”

That Panda Express wasa busy store, said FarahSalek, area coach of opera-tions for the restaurantchain. Panda Express wasone of about eight eating

establishments at the oasis,including McDonald’s,KFC Express, Subway,Sbarro, Starbucks andAuntie Anne’s pretzels.The oasis also featuredrestrooms and a tollwaycustomer service center,which will be moved to theHinsdale Oasis.

Salek and a crew ofabout a half-dozen weredismantling the restau-rant’s equipment. She saidshe was sad that the estab-lishment was closing buthappy that all the employ-ees were relocated to otherPanda Express stores.

One of those employeesworking next to her wasErick Moreno, who residesin nearby Northlake andwill be working at a PandaExpress in far north subur-ban Vernon Hills.

“It’s not too bad,”Moreno said. “I like todrive.”

Others passing throughthe oasis greeted news ofits closure with little morethan a shrug.

“We have no affinity forthis particular oasis,” saidMark Balistierri, who wasdriving with LibbyMcDonald from Milwau-kee to a lake house insouthern Michigan. Theystopped at the O’HareOasis after 10 p.m., whenthe restaurants had closed,and said they would drive afew miles south to theHinsdale oasis for a meal.

“Glad we’re here to sayone last goodbye,” McDon-ald said.

Both said they’d preferless traffic congestionrather than the oasis,

which is what John Roushsaid.

Roush, who runs a pro-motional, marketing andevents business near Cin-cinnati, said he stops at theO’Hare Oasis once a monthand loves the architectureand convenience of it.

“But, yeah, that’s got tobe balanced with traffic,”he said, “and traffic has gotto get moving.” He calledthe closing “a mixed bag”and added that the proxim-ity of the Hinsdale Oasiswould help ease the dis-comfort of losing O’Hare.

“It’s not the end of theworld,” Roush said.

After Kho left and secu-rity locked the sliding glassdoor, people, including EricCampos, continued walk-ing up to the entrance.When he determined thatthe place was closed, hethrew his head back.

“I’m pretty bummed,”Campos said. “I got to go tothe bathroom really bad.”

A few feet away, brothersJerry and Steve Gradisnik,whose house is about 100yards east of the oasis, rodebicycles there to witnessthe closing. They said theyhad visited the oasis only afew times since it was built.

“That’s progress,” JerryGradisnik, 58, said of theclosing. “What are you go-ing to do?”

Added his brother, Steve,57: “We’re too old to be sad.It’s sort of history to us but Idon’t think anybody elsecares.”

Members of an ArlingtonHeights church where aformer associate pastor wassentenced to prison in 2017for distributing child por-nography are facing anoth-er controversy this weekafter its current pastor wascharged Monday in MiamiBeach for what police de-scribed as his involvementin a public sex act.

The Rev. Diego Berrio, 39,pastor of Mision San JuanDiego in Arlington Heights,and the Rev. Edwin GiraldoCortes, 30, an extern priestfrom Colombia, were ar-rested in Miami Beach onSept. 3 after police observedthe two men performingoral sex on one another in aparked car, Miami Beachpolice said.

Both men were chargedwith lewd and lasciviousbehavior, a misdemeanor,and Berrio also was chargedwith indecent exposure, po-lice said.

The alleged sexual acttook place around 3:20 p.m.Monday, according to a po-lice report, “in full view ofthe public passing by onOcean Drive and the side-walk.”

Police reports addedthere is also a playgroundon the block the car wasparked on.

In a statement Tuesday,the Archdiocese of Chicagosaid both Berrio and Corteswould no longer be able tobe priests in the archdio-cese.

“Cardinal Blase J. Cu-pich, archbishop of Chi-cago, has removed Fr.Berrio from ministry andwithdrawn his faculties tominister in the Archdioceseof Chicago, effective im-mediately,” the statementread. “The archdiocese willappoint an administratorfor the Mision San JuanDiego as soon as possible.

“It is our responsibility toensure those who serve ourpeople are fit for ministry,”the statement added. “Wetake this matter very seri-ously and will provide up-dates as they become avail-able.”

Berrio’s dismissal fromhis duties arrives after theArlington Heights church’sformer associate pastor,Clovis Vilchez-Parra, 36,was sentenced to four yearsin prison in April of 2017 fordistributing child pornogra-phy, according to court re-cords.

Vilchez-Parra also wasordered to register as a sexoffender after pleadingguilty to the charge, withnumerous other pornogra-phy charges dropped inexchange for his plea.

Following his 2015 arrestby police in Palatine, whereVilchez-Parra lived inhousing provided by theArchdiocese of Chicago,the archdiocese said in astatement that he waswithdrawn from ministry“pending the resolution ofthis matter.”

Prosecutors said Vilchez-Parra used computer file-sharing software to locate,download and distributepornographic images ofchildren younger than 13.The computer activity wastraced by the InternetCrimes Against ChildrenTask Force, prosecutorssaid. Authorities obtained asearch warrant and foundthe images on a laptopcomputer and a flash driveat his residence, prose-cutors said.

On the church’s Face-book page, an Archdioceseof Chicago press releaseposted on Tuesday explain-ing Berrio’s arrest in MiamiBeach and his removal fromhis duties was followed byseveral benevolent com-ments from parishioners,including, “We’re in prayerfor them.”

Another post stated,“Eternal Father I ask youright now for all your priestswho have fallen. In theclutches of the demon. De-fend them and protect themand do not drop them intotemptation.”

majors from University ofIllinois at Urbana-Cham-paign earn an average sala-ry of about $35,000 andabout 61 percent are em-ployed in state within twoyears of graduation.

The website relies uponmultiple data sources, in-cluding the IntegratedPostsecondary EducationData System and the Na-tional Student Clearing-house, said Mollie Foust,assistant director of theHarvard Kennedy SchoolGovernment PerformanceLab. The career outcomeinformation is the result oflinking individual studentrecords from the statehigher education and com-munity college boards tostate quarterly employ-ment and earnings records.

The website does notcontain data for graduatesliving in other states, how-ever.

“By getting this good,solid information out there,it’s going to help kids inIllinois look at more Illinoisoptions than they’ve everseen before and probablyretain folks here,” Mayssaid.

In addition to its public-facing element meant forstudents and parents, thewebsite will have an inter-nal component that pro-duces student outcomedata for each school thatinstitutional researchers

tary Betsy DeVos recentlyannounced she is seeking toincorporate data from allschools on the expectedearnings of graduates in thefederal College Scorecard.

“This tool will do every-thing she’s talking aboutright now,” said Jeffrey D.Mays, director of the Illi-nois Department of Em-ployment Security.

Visitors to the state web-site start by choosing two-or four-year colleges, thenindicate a program or ma-jor in which they are inter-ested. They then can fur-ther narrow their search bychoosing specific schoolsthey want to compare.

The site then displayswhich schools currently of-fer the preferred under-graduate program and as-sesses how they rank interms of four- and six-yeargraduation rates, net tu-ition, on-time loan repay-ment, career earnings inIllinois and several othermetrics.

For example, if one wereto explore four-year col-leges with psychology pro-grams, the website wouldshow that NorthwesternUniversity graduates ofthat program make an aver-age of $45,667 and about 40percent of graduates areworking in Illinois withintwo years of finishing theirdegrees. The same searchwould show psychology

this week. Gov. BruceRauner is scheduled to un-veil it at his quarterly Chil-dren and Youth Cabinetmeeting Thursday inSpringfield.

Several state agencieswere involved in the web-site’s creation, includingthe state’s higher educationboard, community collegeboard, student assistancecommission and employ-ment security department.They collaborated with theHarvard Kennedy SchoolGovernment PerformanceLab to develop the site overthe past two years.

All 48 community col-leges and more than 60four-year universities in thestate participated in theproject, making theirschool-level data availablethrough the site.

Rauner said the websitewill help synthesize infor-mation about local collegesand universities.

“This multi-agency ef-fort is making it easier forour students to be informedabout their higher educa-tion choices and illustratesthe competitiveness of ourschools right here in thestate,” Rauner said in astatement.

The website’s partial fo-cus on career outcomes forhigher education mirrors asimilar priority from thefederal Department of Ed-ucation. Education Secre-

The state is rolling out anambitious new centralizeddata portal for prospectiveIllinois college studentsthat compiles informationon graduation rates, costs,student debt and, for thefirst time, potential careerearnings of graduates of thestate’s two- and four-yearinstitutions.

The Illinois College2Ca-reer website features infor-mation from more than 100of public and private col-leges on subjects includingbasic tuition and financialaid, program offerings andthe most popular careerpaths for certain graduates.

Officials said it is the firststatewide, data-driven at-tempt to illustrate how col-lege graduates fare in thejob market, broken downby school and by majors orareas of study. For example,a student interested in ma-joring in engineering couldsee how graduates from aspecific program have faredin terms of average salariesin Illinois, what types ofindustries they have en-tered and how much debtthey carry after school.

can analyze.“They can do a lot more

nuanced cuts of the data,”Foust said. “Are first-gener-ation students succeedingand getting jobs? Are wom-en getting different kinds ofjobs than men?”

Project managers didtwo pilot runs of the web-site in 2016 and 2017 andconducted multiple re-gional presentations to uni-versity presidents, provostsand institutional research-ers to solicit feedback. Anearly version was launchedin April.

Eric Jome, a spokesmanfor Illinois State University,said administrators therethought the new websiteprovides a “nice snapshot”on college choices but is nota comprehensive tool thatshould supplant other re-sources, including a univer-sity’s own website.

“It’s a convenient tool fordoing basic research,” Jomesaid. “But we also cautionpeople to use lots of differ-ent sources and to digdeeper.”

The next steps will focuson outreach and publicity,particularly among highschool students and coun-selors, officials said. Theproject team also aims toupdate the system withnew data by November.

NATION & WORLD

WASHINGTON — Pres-sured by Democrats withDonald Trump on theirminds, Supreme Court no-minee Brett Kavanaugh re-jected repeated efforts atWednesday’s Senate confir-mation hearing to reveal hisviews about a presidentpardoning himself or beingforced to testify in a crimi-nal case.

For a second day, thejudge nominated by Trumpinsisted that he fully em-braced the importance ofjudicial independence. Buthe refused to provide directanswers to Democrats whowanted him to say whetherthere are limits on a presi-dent’s power to issue par-dons, including to himselfor in exchange for a bribe.He also would not saywhether he believes thepresident can be subpoe-naed to testify.

“I’m not going to answerhypothetical questions ofthat sort,” Kavanaugh saidin response to a questionfrom Sen. Patrick Leahy ofVermont about pardons.Still, he began his long dayin the witness chair bydeclaring that “no one isabove the law.”

The Senate JudiciaryCommittee hearing hasstrong political overtonesahead of the Novembercongressional elections, butas a practical matter Demo-crats lack the votes to blockKavanaugh’s confirmation.

They are concerned thatKavanaugh will push thecourt to the right on abor-tion, guns and other issues,

and that he will side withTrump in cases stemmingfrom special counsel RobertMueller’s investigation ofRussian interference in the2016 election and possibleties to the Trump campaign.The 53-year-old appellatejudge answered cautiouslywhen asked about most ofthose matters, refusing aninvitation from DemocraticSen. Richard Blumenthal ofConnecticut to pledge tostep aside from anySupreme Court cases deal-ing with Trump andMueller’s investigation.

Protesters continuedtheir efforts to interrupt thehearings, but senators basi-cally ignored their shouts asthey were removed by po-lice.

One TV viewer gave Ka-vanaugh a rave review.

Trump said he had beenwatching the hearings andthought the Democratswere “grasping at straws” inquestioning the man hechose to replace retiredJustice Anthony Kennedy.He said he “saw some in-credible answers to verycomplex questions.”

The committee’s top De-mocrat, Dianne Feinstein ofCalifornia, disagreed. “He’snot being very specific,” shesaid during a break in theproceedings.

The Democrats weren’tthe only ones who recog-nized the importance ofquestions about Trump andthe Russia investigation.Committee ChairmanChuck Grassley, an IowaRepublican, asked Ka-vanaugh right awaywhether he would be inde-pendent from the presidentwho chose him for highly

prestigious lifetime posi-tion.

Kavanaugh said, “Thefirst thing that makes a goodjudge is independence, notbeing swayed by political orpublic pressure.”

He cited historic casesincluding the Brown v.Board of Education rulingthat desegregated schoolsand the U.S. v. Nixon deci-sion that compelled thepresident to turn over theWatergate tapes — a rulingthat Kavanaugh had previ-ously questioned.

“That takes some back-bone,” he said of the justiceswho decided those cases.

But when asked morespecific questions, includ-ing whether a president canbe required to respond to asubpoena, Kavanaugh said,“I can’t give you an answeron that hypothetical ques-tion.”

The Supreme Court hasnever answered that ques-

tion, and it is among thepotentially most importantsince Trump could face asubpoena from specialcounsel Mueller.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, aMinnesota Democrat,asked whether a presidentcould be criminally investi-gated or indicted. Ka-vanaugh again said he hadnever taken a position onthose issues, though he didwrite in a 1998 article thatimpeachment may be theonly way to hold a presidentaccountable while in office.

“The Constitution itselfseems to dictate, in addi-tion, that congressional in-vestigation must take placein lieu of criminal investiga-tion when the President isthe subject of investigation,and that criminal prose-cution can occur only afterthe President has left of-fice,” he wrote in theGeorgetown Law Review.

On abortion, Kavanaugh

said the landmark 1973 Roev. Wade decision that en-sures access to abortion hasbeen affirmed “manytimes.”

“Respect for precedent isimportant. Precedent isrooted right in the Constitu-tion itself,” he said.

Kavanaugh likened Roe v.Wade to another controver-sial, landmark SupremeCourt decision, the Mi-randa ruling about therights of criminal suspects.Kavanaugh said the courtspecifically reaffirmed bothdecisions in later cases thatmade them “precedent onprecedent.”

Kavanaugh defended hisdissenting opinion last yearin the case of a pregnantimmigrant teen in federalcustody. Kavanaugh wouldhave denied her immediateaccess to an abortion, evenafter she received permis-sion from a Texas judge.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-

Utah, praised Kavanaughfor hiring female lawyers asclerks as a judge on theDistrict of Columbia Courtof Appeals, and then posedquestions about whetherKavanaugh was aware ofsexual harassment allega-tions against retired circuitcourt Judge Alex Kozinskiin California. Kavanaughconsidered the judge afriend and mentor andKozinski testified at Ka-vanaugh’s 2006 confirma-tion hearing to be an appel-late judge.

Kavanaugh said he hadknown nothing about theallegations until they weredisclosed last year. “It was agut punch for me,” he said,and he was “shocked, disap-pointed, angry.”

Asked about an email listKozinski allegedly used tosend offensive material, Ka-vanaugh said: “I don’t re-member anything like that.”

The judge’s work in theBush White House also hasfigured in the hearing, par-ticularly as Democraticsenators have fought foraccess to documents fromhis three years as staffsecretary. They say thosecould shed light on hisviews about policies fromthat era, including the de-tention and interrogation ofterror suspects. MajorityRepublicans have declinedto seek the papers, andinstead have gathered docu-ments from his work asWhite House counsel toBush.

Democratic Sen. DickDurbin of Illinois askedKavanaugh if he would seeka delay in his hearing so thepaper trail could be vetted.

But Kavanaugh declinedto engage, saying. “I do notbelieve that’s consistent”with the way prior nomina-tions have been handled.

DAUPHIN ISLAND, Ala.— Blamed for the death of aFlorida baby and intensewind and rain that pum-meled parts of the northernGulf of Mexico coast, Tropi-cal Depression Gordonweakened Wednesday butstill spread bands of heavyrains across a swath of theSouth as it swirled overcentral Mississippi.

It promised more of thesame on a forecast track

expected to take it north-east into Arkansas, whichwas forecast to get heavyrain from the system byWednesday night. By Sat-urday, what’s left of thestorm was forecast to hookto the north, then northeaston a path toward the GreatLakes. National WeatherService offices in Missouriand Oklahoma said Gor-don’s remnants could add tothe rain caused by a frontalboundary already causingheavy rains in parts of theMidwest.

Gordon never reached

hurricane strength by thetime it came ashore Tues-day night just west of theMississippi-Alabama line.Its maximum sustainedwinds reached 70 mph. Itknocked out power to atleast 27,000 utility custom-ers in Florida, Alabama andMississippi.

Pictures on social mediashowed damaged roofs anddebris-strewn beaches androads. However, no majordamage or serious injurieswere reported, other thanthe one fatality — a baby in amobile home, struck by a

large tree limb in Pensacolalate Tuesday.

Neighbors told the news-paper the victim was about10 months old.

Michael Barradas toldThe Pensacola News Jour-nal he heard the loud crackand ran out of his mobilehome and yelled, “Is every-one OK?’ ” The mother said,“No my baby’s in there,”according to Barradas.

Barradas said he ran backin his home to get a flash-light, but by the time he gotto the neighbor’s home thebaby had stopped crying.

WASHINGTON — At-torney General Jeff Ses-sions plans to meet withstate attorneys general laterthis month to discusswhether tech companiesmay be “intentionally sti-fling the free exchange ofideas,” the Justice Depart-ment said Wednesday in astatement.

The announcementcomes a week after theWhite House said it wouldexplore regulating Google— and minutes after seniorexecutives from Facebookand Twitter finished testify-ing before a Senate panel onthe companies’ efforts tostem the tide of misinfor-mation on the platforms.

Agency spokesman Dev-in O’Malley said the meet-ing also will considerwhether tech platforms“may have harmed compe-tition” with their actions, ahint that the Justice Depart-ment may be weighing an-

titrust action against thefirms.

The meeting, which hadbeen in the works sincebefore Wednesday’s hear-ing, is expected to take placein Washington on Sept. 25 —and at least three stateattorneys general haveagreed to participate, ac-cording to a person familiarwith the matter who wasnot authorized to speak onthe record and declined tosay which states were in-volved.

The Justice Depart-ment’s announcement sig-nificantly heightens thestakes for the tech compa-nies in Washington, wherepolicymakers have widelycriticized the digital plat-forms but have refrainedfrom passing legislation orlaunching probes into theirconduct.

It also raises fresh ques-tions about whether Presi-dent Donald Trump’s ownrhetoric may undercut theJustice Department’s ef-forts. In recent days, Trumphas said the companies mayfind themselves in a “very

antitrust situation,” accus-ing Google and Facebook of“suppressing” conservativeviewpoints.

But the White House isnot supposed to interferewith the law enforcementactivities of independentagencies.

Twitter and Google de-clined to comment on theJustice Department an-nouncement. Facebookdidn’t immediately respondto a request for comment.

During the hearingsWednesday on Capitol Hill,Facebook and Twitter exe-cutives assured Congressthat they are aggressivelyworking to root out foreignattempts to sow discord inAmerica, and they pledgedto better protect their socialnetworks against manipula-

tion during the 2018midterm elections and be-yond.

Facebook’s No. 2 execu-tive, Sheryl Sandberg, andTwitter’s CEO, Jack Dorsey,testified before the Senateintelligence committee inthe morning, but there wasan empty chair for Googleparent company Alphabet,which refused to send itstop executive.

In the afternoon, Dorseywent before a House panelalone to address Republicanconcerns that Twitter iscensoring conservatives.Dorsey denied that is hap-pening.

Sandberg’s appearancecame several months afterFacebook CEO MarkZuckerberg testified athighly publicized Capitol

Hill hearings. Like Zuckerberg, she ac-

knowledged Facebook’s lagin recognizing Russian ef-forts to manipulate Face-book during and after the2016 presidential election.Sandberg detailed Face-book’s efforts to fight theproblem with newtechnology and manpower.

“We are even more deter-mined than our adversaries,and we will continue tofight back,” she said.

Dorsey was candid withboth committees aboutwhat his company needs toimprove, while defendingTwitter against allegationsof bias.

Holding his phonethroughout the hearings,Dorsey tweeted some of hisopening statement to the

Senate: “We aren’t proud ofhow that free and openexchange has been weap-onized and used to distractand divide people, and ournation. We found ourselvesunprepared and ill-equip-ped for the immensity of theproblems we’ve acknowl-edged.”

He added: “Abuse, har-assment, troll armies, prop-aganda through bots andhuman coordination, misin-formation campaigns, anddivisive filter bubbles —that’s not a healthy publicsquare. Worse, a relativelysmall number of bad-faithactors were able to gameTwitter to have an outsizedimpact.”

He arrived at the coalmines, textile mills and in-dustrial factories dressed ina three-piece suit. Hewooed those in charge, ask-ing to be let in. He was just ahumble Bible salesman, heclaimed, who wanted tospread the good word to thelaborers inside.

What Lewis Hine actu-ally wanted was to takephotos of those laborers —and show the world what itlooked like when childrenwere put to work.

In the early 1900s, Hinetraveled across America tophotograph preteen boysdescending into dangerousmines, shoeless 7-year-oldsselling newspapers on thestreet and 4-year-olds toil-ing on tobacco farms.Though the country hadunions to protect laborers atthat time child labor waswidespread and widely ac-cepted. The Bureau of La-bor Statistics estimates thataround the turn of thecentury at least 18 percentof children between theages of 10 and 15 wereemployed.

Hine’s searing images ofthose children remade thepublic perception of childlabor and inspired the lawsto ban it. Today, the Libraryof Congress maintains acollection of more than5,000 of Hine’s photo-graphs, including the thou-sands he took for the Na-tional Child Labor Commit-tee.

“It was Lewis Hine whomade sure that millions ofchildren are not workingtoday,” said Jeffrey New-man, a former president ofthe New York-based com-mittee.

The organization’s mis-sion wasn’t about showingthe public that childrenwere being used for finan-cial gain — that was alreadya well-known fact. At thetime, many believed thepractice had substantialbenefits. Youth could learnthe value of hard work.Businesses could increase

their productivity and de-crease the hourly pay. Par-ents could depend on theirchildren to support the fam-ily, meaning the adultscould work less or not at all.

Hine’s photos showedthe price: unsafe workingconditions, dangerous ma-chinery and business own-ers who refused to educatethe children or limit theirworking hours.

Though there had beeninvestigations that at-tempted to expose thesecircumstances in the past,“The industry simply dis-missed those reports as —the term they would usetoday is — ‘fake news,’ ” saidHugh Hindman, a historianof child labor. “When Hinecomes along and supple-ments the investigationswith pictures, it creates a setof facts that can’t be deniedanymore.”

Taken with a heavyGraflex camera, Hine’s pho-tos were paired with cap-tions and stories from hisinterviews with the chil-dren, who would tell himtheir ages, backgrounds andworking conditions.

Hine’s affinity for tellingthe stories of the downtrod-den probably came from hisown start in life. At 18 yearsold, he began working at aWisconsin furniture factoryafter the death of his father.It was up to Hine to keep hisfamily financially afloat.

According to the Inter-national Photography Hallof Fame, Hine worked 13hours a day, six days a weekuntil he could move on to aseemingly better job — as ajanitor in a bank. He begantaking college courses onthe side to become ateacher.

One of Hine’s mentorsencouraged him to move toManhattan and begin histeaching career in one of thecity’s private schools. It wasthere that Hine picked upphotography. In the hope ofteaching his students torespect the new wave ofimmigrants coming into thecity, he began visiting EllisIsland and photographingthe new arrivals.

Hine’s work attracted theattention of the NCLC,which had been founded in1904 with the mission ofending child labor. The or-ganization had a particularproject in mind for Hine.

Today, the use of photog-raphy as a tool to exposewrongdoing is hardly revo-lutionary. But in Hine’stime, when newspaperswere just beginning to in-corporate photos into theirdaily product, it was nearlyunheard of. Hine is creditedwith inventing the term“photo story” and for popu-larizing a style of por-traiture in which the sub-ject looks straight into thecamera.

His images demand thatthe viewers look into thechildren’s eyes. In many, thechildren are looking rightback.

The National Child La-bor Committee publishedHine’s photos in its publi-city material, trying to influ-ence lawmakers and powerplayers to address the injus-tice being done. Exhibits,newspapers and prog-ressive media outlets pickedup his outrage-inspiringwork, ensuring it was seenacross the country.

But there was no suchthing as going viral in theearly 1900s. The spread ofHine’s photos and the re-form that they inspired wasextremely slow.

The Fair Labor StandardsAct, the federal law thatwould prohibit most em-

ployment of minors, wasn’tpassed until 1938. Hine diedtwo years later — longbefore his work would berecognized for the impact ithad.

Now Hine’s photos ap-pear in museum exhib-itions, are sold at auctions

for upward of $5,000 apieceand are credited with influ-encing generations of docu-mentary photographers.

“If Hine were workingtoday, he’d be traveling theworld, photographing kidsstill working 14 or 15 hours aday with no serious pay andno health benefits,” saidphoto historian Daile Kap-lan.

But the effort that fundedand published Hine’s work,the NCLC, is no longercontinuing his legacy. Theorganization spent morethan a century investigatinglabor issues in fields, sweat-shops and well-known cor-porations. But in 2017, itshut down without an-nouncing its closure. Itswebsite disappeared. Itsphone number still rings,but no one answers.

Newman, the formerNCLC president, said theorganization simply ran outof money and had troublepaying its debts. In its finalyears, the threat of childlabor didn’t have the fund-raising power it once did. Inthe rare instance in whichan organization dedicatedto a social ill had workeditself out of a job, the NCLCboard decided to “declarevictory and just move out,”Newman said.

“There may well come atime when the NCLC mayneed to be reinvented andstarted up again,” he predic-ted.

Without the NCLC, thereremains one organizationstill bearing Hine’s name: afellowship for Duke Uni-versity graduates who wantto become documentari-ans.

The young fellowschronicle lives inside foodpantries, foster homes andstruggling neighborhoods.Their work is in the spiritof Hine’s legacy — butlooks incredibly different.Along with still photos,they employ video, audioand even virtual reality toshow the injustices of theworld. None, as of yet, havehad to impersonate a Biblesalesman to get the jobdone.

MADISON, Wis. —Democrats know who theirvoters are. They just have tofigure out how to get themto the polls in November —and that’s where thepuppies come in.

Students returning to theUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison campus this sum-mer were greeted by ther-apy dogs for petting. Thoselured by the chance to rufflea dog’s ears were then askedto register to vote — a “Pupsto the Polls” gimmick thatwas just one of severalsimilar events being stagedin 11 battleground states bythe liberal group NextGenAmerica.

Young people tend tovote for Democrats, butthey also tend stay awayduring midterm elections.It’s a perennial frustrationfor the party — one they aretrying to overcome as theyseek to take control ofCongress.

NextGen America,formed by billionaire activ-ist Tom Steyer, hopes to be agame changer. Steyer is in-vesting more than $30 mil-lion in what’s believed to bethe largest voter engage-ment effort of its kind.

The push to register andget pledges from collegestudents to vote is focusingon states such as Wisconsin,Virginia, California andNorth Carolina with com-petitive races for Congress,U.S. Senate and other of-fices.

NextGen sees young vot-ers such as Kellen Sharp askey to flipping targetedseats from red to blue.

“The outcome of thiselection definitely affectsus,” said Sharp, an 18-year-old freshman from Milwau-kee who stopped to registerduring the dog event theweek before classes started.“I’m just excited to have avoice and say something.”

A poll this summer bythe Associated Press-NORC Center for PublicAffairs Research and MTVfound that most Ameri-cans ages 15 to 34 thinkvoting in the midterm elec-

tions gives their genera-tion some say about howthe government is run. Thepoll found young peopleeager to vote for someonewho shared their politicalviews on issues such ashealth care and immigra-tion policy. They ex-pressed far less excitementabout voting for a candi-date described as a lifelongpolitician.

“If we all vote, we canmake a change,” said 20-year-old Grace Austin, whostopped to pet the dogs atthe Wisconsin event andwound up registering tovote.

Austin and other collegestudents who registeredsaid they feel like theirfriends are more interestedin politics than ever before— boosting hopes of Demo-crats trying to reverse thetrend of declining youthparticipation in midtermelections.

“We want them to knowthey need to show up and

when they do, we will win,”said NextGen’s Wisconsindirector George Olufosoye.“We want them to knowthey have power.”

They certainly have thenumbers.

Since the last midtermelection in 2014, 15 million

post-millennials — thosebetween the ages of 18 and21 — have become eligible tovote. But while GenerationX, millennials and post-millennials make up themajority of voting-eligibleadults nationwide, they arenot expected to cast the

most votes in November.In the 2014 midterm,

they cast 21 million fewervotes than voters over age54, according to an analysisby the Pew Research Cen-ter. Turnout among 18- to24-year-olds hit a 40-yearlow in 2014, bottoming outat 17.1 percent, according toan analysis by the Center forInformation and Researchon Civic Learning and En-gagement, or CIRCLE, atTufts University.

NextGen points to highervoter turnout on the Uni-versity of Wisconsin cam-pus for a spring stateSupreme Court electionwon by a liberal, and spikesin turnout in other targetedraces, to argue that theirpush to register 122,000young people to vote isbearing fruit.

“We’re trying really hardto have this be much moreof an infrastructure, organi-zational thing than a two-month campaign,” NextGenfounder Tom Steyer said in

an interview. “We’re tryingto get the broadest possibledemocracy, the biggest rep-resentation.”

More media coverage ofcompetitive races, com-bined with energy from theMarch for Our Lives move-ment that seeks stricter gunlaws, has empowered youngvoters and made them “feellike it’s time to have theirvoice heard about whathappens to their genera-tion,” said Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg, director of CIR-CLE.

That’s what NextGenhopes. It has nearly 800organizers on 421 collegecampuses in Wisconsin, Ar-izona, California, Florida,Iowa, Michigan, Nevada,New Hampshire, NorthCarolina, Pennsylvania andVirginia. In Wisconsinalone, NextGen has 27 full-time workers and 40 stu-dent fellows registering vot-ers on 26 campuses.

Republicans recognizethe power that motivatingyoung voters could have forDemocrats, but they’reskeptical that participationwill increase much. In Wis-consin, Republicans havebeen targeting college vot-ers for years.

“Wisconsin Republicanswin by connecting withvoters directly where theyare — and young voters areno different when it comesto that strategy,” said Wis-consin Republican Partyspokesman Alec Zimmer-man.

Wisconsin has two of thenation’s competitive andclosely watched races.Democratic Sen. TammyBaldwin is being challengedby GOP state Sen. LeahVukmir, while RepublicanGov. Scott Walker faces achallenge from Democraticstate schools chief TonyEvers. Polls show the racesto be a dead heat — just thekind of competitive elec-tions research shows exciteyounger voters.

“I’ve never seen anythinglike this,” said NextGenworker and 2016 Universityof Wisconsin graduate JoeWaldman. “I’ve never seenthe energy, passion and ac-tivism there is now.”

BOSTON — AyannaPressley is all but assured ofbecoming the first blackwoman elected to Congressfrom Massachusetts, thelatest example of theDemocratic Party’s em-brace of diversity and libe-ral politics as the recipe forsuccess in the Trump era.

The 44-year-old’s upsetvictory against longtimeDemocratic Rep. MichaelCapuano in Tuesday’s pri-mary sets the stage forPressley to represent anarea once served by TipO’Neill and John F. Ken-nedy. Her win comes at thetail end of a primary seasonin which black politicianshave made a series of ad-vances.

In Connecticut, JahanaHayes is on track to becomethat state’s first black wom-an to win a congressionalseat if she prevails in No-vember. And black politi-cians in three states —Florida, Georgia and Mary-land — have won theDemocratic nomination forgovernor, a historic turn fora country that has electedjust two black governors inU.S. history.

Greeting voters at a Bos-ton polling station, Pressleyspoke of “the ground shift-ing beneath our feet andthe wind at our backs.”

“This is a fight for thesoul of our party and thefuture of our democracy,”she told reporters. “This isa disruptive candidacy, agrassroots coalition. It isbroad and diverse anddeep. People of every walkof life.”

Pressley was endorsedby fellow congressional up-start Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who knocked offveteran Rep. Joe Crowleyof New York in June. Press-ley backs Medicare-for-all,the single-payer healthcare proposal, whichhelped her garner backingfrom Our Revolution, theoffshoot of Vermont Sen.Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presi-

dential campaign.Pressley called for de-

funding the federal Immi-gration and Customs En-forcement agency, knownas ICE, which helped herdraw support from Massa-chusetts’ attorney general,Maura Healey, who’sgained a national followingfor repeatedly suing Presi-dent Donald Trump in anattempt to block his poli-cies on immigration, guncontrol and other issues.

“We have to be disrup-tive in our democracy andour policymaking and howwe run and win elections,”she said in an interview thissummer with The Associ-ated Press, adding thatOcasio-Cortez’s victorychallenged “narrativesabout who has a right torun and when, and who canwin” in American politics.

“My mother did not raiseme to ask for permission tolead,” she added.

Pressley tapped intogrowing cries within theDemocratic Party fornewer, more diverse lead-ership. She and Ocasio-Cortez both defeated older,white congressmen whowere reliable liberal votes,but who didn’t look likemany voters in their dis-

tricts.“With so much at stake

in the era of Trump,tonight’s results make clearwhat Ayanna Pressleyknew when she boldlylaunched her campaignagainst a 10-term incum-bent: Change in the coun-try and Congress can’twait,” said Jim Dean, chair-man of the liberal groupDemocracy for America.

The district she’s com-peting in includes a wideswath of Boston and abouthalf of Cambridge. It in-cludes both Cambridge’sKendall Square — devel-opment there is booming —and the neighborhood ofRoxbury, the center ofBoston’s traditionally blackcommunity.

Pressley has bristled atthe notion that race was adefining issue in her cam-paign.

“I have been really furi-ous about the constantcharges being lobbedagainst me about identitypolitics that, by the way, areonly lobbed against womenand candidates of color,”she said. “I happen to beblack and a woman andunapologetically proud tobe both, but that is not thetotality of my identity.”

LONDON — Britaindeepened its diplomaticfeud with Moscow onWednesday, charging twomen it says are Russianmilitary intelligence offi-cers with the nerve-agentpoisoning of Sergei Skripal,a double agent who be-trayed the service by spyingfor the West.

But U.K. authorities ac-knowledged there was littlechance Russia would handover the suspects, Alexan-der Petrov and RuslanBoshirov, to face justice inBritain.

Prime Minister TheresaMay said the use of achemical weapon in thecity of Salisbury, which lefta British woman dead andfour people, including Skri-pal and his daughter, seri-ously ill, was carried out byofficers of the GRU intelli-gence service and almostcertainly approved “at asenior level of the Russianstate.”

“This was not a rogueoperation,” she told law-makers after police re-leased photos of the sus-pects as they traveledthrough London and Salis-bury before flying back toMoscow from HeathrowAirport on March 4, hoursafter the Skripals were poi-soned.

Moscow strongly deniesinvolvement in the attack,and Russian officials saidthey did not recognize thesuspects.

Russian Foreign Min-istry spokeswoman MariaZakharova said the namesand images of Petrov andBoshirov “say nothing tous.”

British prosecutors saidthe two were being chargedin absentia with conspiracyto murder, attempted mur-der and use of the nerveagent Novichok.

Sue Hemming of theCrown Prosecution Servicesaid the U.K. wouldn’t askMoscow to hand the menover because Russian law

forbids extradition of itscitizens. Britain has ob-tained domestic and Euro-pean arrest warrants forthe suspects, meaning theycan be detained if theyleave Russia for anotherEuropean country.

Neil Basu, Britain’s toppolice counterterrorism of-ficer, conceded it was “very,very unlikely” police wouldbe in a position to arrestthem any time soon.

But, he said, “we willnever give up.”

Sergei Skripal, 67, is aformer colonel in the GRUwho was convicted in 2006of spying for Britain andimprisoned. He was freedin a 2010 spy swap andsettled in the U.K.

Skripal and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia werefound unconscious on abench in Salisbury, 90 milessouthwest of London, onMarch 4. They spent weekshospitalized in critical con-dition and are now recover-ing in a secret location. Apolice officer, Nick Bailey,was also hospitalized.

British authorities andthe international chemicalweapons watchdog say thevictims were exposed toNovichok, a type of mili-tary-grade nerve agent de-veloped by the SovietUnion during the Cold War.

The poisoning ignited adiplomatic confrontationin which hundreds of en-voys were expelled by Rus-sia and Western nations.

Six months after thechemical weapons attackrocked the quiet cathedralcity, police released newdetails about what Basucalled “one of the mostcomplex investigations”the service had ever seen.

Police say Petrov andBoshirov, both about 40,flew from Moscow to Lon-don on Russian passportstwo days before the Skri-pals were poisoned. Basusaid the passports weregenuine but the nameswere probably aliases, andappealed to the public tohelp identify the men.

Police revealed thattraces of Novichok werefound at a hotel in Lon-don’s East End where themen spent two nights.

Police didn’t test thebudget City Stay Hotel forNovichok until twomonths after the attack,but Basu said the tinyquantity of nerve agentfound there did not pose arisk to other guests.

Police believe the nerveagent was smuggled toBritain in a counterfeitNina Ricci perfume bottleand sprayed on the frontdoor of Sergei Skripal’shouse.

More than three monthslater, the bottle was foundby a local man, 48-year-oldCharlie Rowley. He washospitalized and his girl-friend Dawn Sturgess, 44,died after being exposed tothe contents.

Trump and I don’t likethem,” he said of the news-paper.

The op-ed pages of thenewspaper are managedseparately from its newsdepartment.

The president continued:“Nobody has ever done inless than a two-year periodwhat we’ve done. So whenyou tell me about someanonymous source withinthe administration, prob-ably who’s failing, andwho’s probably here for allthe wrong reasons — no.”

The newspaper, Trumpadded, “probably wouldn’teven exist” without him.

“Some day, when I’m notpresident, which hopefullywill be in about 6 1⁄2 yearsfrom now, the New YorkTimes and CNN and all ofthese phony media outletswill be out of business, folks,because there will be noth-ing to write and there’ll benothing of interest,” he said.

The essay triggered awild guessing game as to theauthor’s identity on socialmedia, in newsrooms andinside the West Wing.

Press secretary SarahHuckabee Sanders accusedthe author of choosing to“deceive” the president byremaining in the adminis-tration.

“He is not putting coun-try first, but putting himselfand his ego ahead of the willof the American people,”she said. “The cowardshould do the right thingand resign.”

Sanders also called on theTimes to “issue an apology”for publishing the piece,calling it a “pathetic, reck-less, and selfish op-ed.”

Trump allies and politicalinsiders scrambledWednesday to unmask thewriter.

The text was pulled apartfor clues: The writer isidentified as an “adminis-tration official”; does thatmean a person who worksoutside the White House?The references to Russiaand the late Sen. JohnMcCain — do they suggestsomeone working in na-tional security? Does the

writing style sound likesomeone who worked at athink tank? In a tweet, theTimes used the pronoun“he” to refer to the writer;does that rule out all wom-en?

The newspaper later saidthe tweet referring to “he”had been “drafted by some-one who is not aware of the

author’s identity, includingthe gender, so the use of ‘he’was an error.”

Hotly debated on Twitterwas the author’s use of theword “lodestar,” whichpops up frequently inspeeches by Vice PresidentMike Pence. Could theanonymous figure be some-one in Pence’s orbit? Others

argued that the word “lode-star” could have been in-cluded to throw people off.

Showing her trademarkability to attract attention,former administration offi-cial Omarosa ManigaultNewman tweeted that cluesabout the writer’s identitywere in her recently re-leased tell-all book, offering

a page number: 330. Thereality star writes on thatpage: “many in this silentarmy are in his party, hisadministration, and even inhis own family.”

The anonymous authorwrote in the Times thatwhere Trump has had suc-cesses, they have come “de-spite — not because of — thepresident’s leadership style,which is impetuous, adver-sarial, petty and ineffec-tive.”

The assertions in thecolumn were largely in linewith complaints aboutTrump’s behavior that haverepeatedly been raised byvarious administration offi-cials, often speaking oncondition of anonymity.And they were published aday after the release ofdetails from an explosivenew book by longtime jour-nalist Bob Woodward thatlaid bare concerns amongthe highest echelon ofTrump aides about thepresident’s judgment.

The writer of the Timesop-ed said Trump aides areaware of the president’sfaults and “many of thesenior officials in his ownadministration are workingdiligently from within tofrustrate parts of his agendaand his worst inclinations. Iwould know. I am one ofthem.”

The writer also alleged“there were early whisperswithin the cabinet of invok-ing the 25th Amendment”because of the “instability”witnessed in the president.The 25th Amendment al-lows the vice president totake over if the commanderin chief is “unable to dis-charge the powers and du-ties of his office.”

The writer added: “Thisisn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s thework of the steady state.”

WASHINGTON — KenStarr, the former independ-ent counsel whose investi-gation led to President BillClinton’s impeachment,writes in his upcomingbook that if Monica Lewin-sky had cooperated fromthe beginning, “the countrywould not have beendragged through an eight-month ordeal.”

Recounting his Clinton-era investigation, Starr con-tends that the former WhiteHouse intern who had asexual relationship with thepresident carried “fiercebut misguided loyalty” and“allowed herself to becomea tragic figure of late twen-tieth-century America.”

“She carries with herforever the living reality ofthe Clintons’ victim-strewnpath to power, the mostvisible casualty of the Clin-tons’ contempt,” Starrwrites in “Contempt: AMemoir of the Clinton In-vestigation.” The Associ-ated Press obtained a copyof the book, which will bereleased Tuesday.

Starr’s book recounts hisreluctant yet duty-bounddecision to serve as inde-pendent counsel in theWhitewater probe that ulti-mately led to Clinton’s im-peachment by the House oncharges he lied under oathand obstructed justice.

The memoir arrives twodecades after Congress waspresented with the StarrReport, the culmination ofan investigation that ulti-mately ended with Clinton’sacquittal by the Senate. Heoffers a scathing critique of

Bill and Hillary Clinton,describing the former presi-dent as someone “who be-lieved he was above thelaw.”

David Kendall, Bill Clin-ton’s attorney, said in astatement to the AP: “TheAmerican people sawthrough Starr’s obsessivepursuit of President Clintonand will see through hisattempt to rewrite historyto vindicate his own sulliedreputation.”

Lewinsky declined tocomment.

The book describes howinvestigators first learned ofLewinsky’s role and re-counts their talks at a Penta-gon City Ritz-Carlton —dubbed “Prom Night” — inwhich Starr’s team tried toget Lewinsky to cooperate.Starr writes that Lewinskyused a mall payphone to callthe White House in what hebelieved was an attempt towarn Clinton.

“She hissed ‘Hoover,Hoover’ into the phone, as ifshe were speaking in code,which she later explainedmeant the FBI, as in J.Edgar,” Starr writes.

Starr memoir recountsLewinsky’s ‘fierce butmisguided loyalty’ By Ken Thomas Associated Press

WASHINGTON —President Donald Trumpsuggested Wednesday thatCongress should changelibel laws so that he wouldbe better positioned to seek“retribution” against BobWoodward, the author ofthe explosive new bookthat portrays a presidencycareening toward a “nerv-ous breakdown.”

“Isn’t it a shame thatsomeone can write an arti-cle or book, totally make upstories and form a pictureof a person that is literallythe exact opposite of thefact, and get away with itwithout retribution orcost,” Trump wrote onTwitter. “Don’t know whyWashington politiciansdon’t change libel laws?”

The president’s tweetwas part an aggressive ef-fort by the White House todiscredit Woodward’sforthcoming book, “Fear,”which paints a harrowingportrait of the Trump pres-idency, based on in-depthinterviews with adminis-tration officials and others.

Woodward, an associateeditor at The WashingtonPost, has said he stands byhis reporting.

“The book means noth-ing,” Trump told reportersin the Oval Office onWednesday. He said theearly release of informa-tion from the book wasdesigned to interfere withconfirmation hearings forSupreme Court nomineeBrett Kavanaugh, “which Idon’t think it’s done.”

Venting for a second day,Trump tweeted that “Fear:Trump in the WhiteHouse” was the “exact op-posite of the fact.”

During an appearanceon Fox News shortly afterTrump’s tweet, WhiteHouse press secretarySarah Huckabee Sanderssaid she hasn’t “had theconversation” with Trumpabout any legal actions hemight pursue againstWoodward. Trump hasfrequently threatened legalaction against others hesays have wronged himwithout following through.

In January, Trumpcalled for a change in libellaws, most of which arecrafted at the state level,after the publication of“Fire & Fury,” a tell-all book

about the White House byMichael Wolff. At the time,Trump said libel laws are “asham and a disgrace and donot represent Americanvalues or American fair-ness.”

House Speaker PaulRyan, R-Wis., said Wednes-day that he has no plans toalter libel laws and wasn’taware of Trump’s tweet.

“No, is that somethingthat’s been suggested?”Ryan said when asked at anews conference whetherhe is interested in changingthe law. Ryan said he hadbeen “busy working”Wednesday morning.

Within the West Wing,aides increasingly numb todrama still were shaken bythe in-depth reporting ofWoodward’s book, whichincluded interviews withnumerous aides and copiesof internal memos.

Key allies have pushedback against the book,which quotes Trump aidesdisparaging the president’sjudgment and claimingthey plucked papers off hisdesk to prevent him fromwithdrawing from a pair oftrade agreements. Thoseissuing denials, at least inpart, included DefenseSecretary Jim Mattis andchief of staff John Kelly.

Allies also said some ofthe ire in Trump’s orbit wasfocused on former stafferssuch as ex-staff secretaryRob Porter and onetimeeconomic adviser GaryCohn, who are sympatheti-cally portrayed.

“I don’t think Wood-ward made anything up.It’s who he talked to,” saidformer Trump campaignaide Sam Nunberg, addingthat Cohn and Porter “look

like unsung heroes.”Hours after The Wash-

ington Post first reportedseveral key incidents fromWoodward’s book on Tues-day, the administration is-sued a vigorous string ofpublic denials, with state-ments from top advisers —White House chief of staffJohn F. Kelly, Defense Sec-retary Jim Mattis andSanders — as well as fromTrump’s former personalattorney John Dowd.

Mattis called the book“fiction,” and Sanders de-nounced the tome in astatement as “nothingmore than fabricated sto-ries, many by former dis-gruntled employees” with-out disputing any of thespecifics that have beenreported in excerpts.

Sanders appeared onseveral Wednesday morn-ing television shows toreinforce that message.

“Everything I’ve seen sofar out of this book doesn’tdepict what’s going on inthis building behind me,”Sanders, appearing fromthe White House lawn,said on ABC’s “GoodMorning America.” “Youcan’t have the type of suc-cess that this president hashad if what that book saysis true ... What I see comingout of this building is pureand total success. He’s hadthe most successful twoyears of any president inmodern history.”

Sanders also cited themilitary service of Mattisand Kelly.

“I would certainly rathertake the word of those twoindividuals than a couple ofdisgruntled former em-ployees who are anony-mously attacking this pres-

ident, trying to make himlook bad,” she said.

A central theme of thebook is the stealthy machi-nations used by those inTrump’s inner sanctum totry to control his impulsesand prevent disasters, bothfor the president person-ally and for the nation hewas elected to lead.

Woodward describes“an administrative coupd’etat” and a “nervousbreakdown” of the execu-tive branch, with senioraides conspiring to pluckofficial papers from thepresident’s desk so hecouldn’t see or sign them.

Again and again, Wood-ward recounts at lengthhow Trump’s national se-curity team was shaken byhis lack of curiosity andknowledge about world af-fairs and his contempt forthe mainstream perspec-tives of military and intelli-gence leaders.

Trump tweeted the de-nial statements Tuesdayevening and then, withoutproviding evidence, sug-gested the book’s releasewas timed to affect themidterm elections in No-vember.

In later tweets Wednes-day, Trump sought to pushback on the book’s portray-al of his management styleand on its reporting that hisaides found him uninter-ested in many world affairs.

“I’m tough as hell onpeople & if I weren’t, noth-ing would get done,”Trump wrote. “Also, Iquestion everybody &everything — which is whyI got elected!”

NEW YORK — A largecommercial jet from Dubaicaused a scare on Wednes-day after a pilot radioedthat it would be landing atNew York’s Kennedy Air-port carrying several pas-sengers and crew memberswho fell ill with flu-likesymptoms.

The U.S. Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preven-tion immediately quaran-tined the double-deckerEmirates aircraft holding520 passengers so it couldevaluate about 100 of them.Some had complainedabout coughs, headaches,sore throats and fevers.

Officials said 10 people —

three passengers and sevencrew members — ended uphospitalized in what Emir-ates called a “precaution.”The rest were cleared tocontinue their travels whilethe CDC sought to deter-mine what caused the sick-ness.

On social media, pas-sengers including 1990srapper Vanilla Ice, postedphotos and videos of alarge-scale emergency re-sponse when the aircrafttouched down around 9a.m. EDT at JFK. Videofrom news helicoptersshowed the jet stranded onthe tarmac for several min-utes before passengers be-

gan to emerge so they couldboard buses to get to theterminal.

Another traveler in thebusiness class section of theaircraft, Raghida Dergham,also said in an interviewthat sick passengers werein a “lower level” economysection of the plane.

“I feel great. I feel fine,”Dergham said. “Nobodywas alarmed. It was han-dled very well.”

Some passengers saidthey suspected that somepeople were sick beforethey got on the plane andblamed the airline for notdoing more to protect thehealth of others.

Twin attacks in Shiite section ofAfghan capital kill 20, wound 70

KABUL, Afghanistan —Twin bombings at awrestling training centerin a Shiite neighborhoodof Afghanistan’s capital onWednesday killed at least20 people, including tworeporters, and wounded70, Afghan officials said.

Interior Ministryspokesman Najib Danishsaid a suicide bomberstruck at the center andthen a car bomb went offnearby.

No one immediatelyclaimed the attacks, but

they bore the hallmarks ofthe country’s Islamic Stateaffiliate, which has carriedout a wave of deadlybombings against minor-ity Shiites. The Sunni ex-tremists of ISIS view Shi-ites as apostates deservingof death.

Elsewhere, a roadsidebomb killed a district po-lice chief and anotherpoliceman in the northernBadghis province, accord-ing to Jamshid Shahabi,spokesman for the provin-cial governor.

Inspector general reviews FBIhandling of Nassar allegations

WASHINGTON — TheJustice Department’s in-spector general is investi-gating how the FBI han-dled sexual abuse allega-tions against former USAGymnastics national teamdoctor Larry Nassar, aperson familiar with thematter said Wednesday.

Nassar is serving dec-ades in prison after hun-dreds of girls and womensaid he sexually abusedthem under the guise ofmedical treatment when

he worked for MichiganState and Indiana-basedUSA Gymnastics, whichtrains Olympians.

USA Gymnastics con-tacted the FBI about theallegations in July 2015but it took months beforethe agency opened a for-mal investigation. At least40 girls and women saidthey were molested over a14-month period whilethe FBI was aware ofother sexual abuse allega-tions involving Nassar.

Investigators seek trove ofNorth Carolina voting records

RALEIGH, N.C. — Fed-eral investigators in NorthCarolina are seeking anenormous number of vot-ing records from dozens ofelection offices weeks be-fore the midterm elec-tions, demands that maysignal their expanded ef-forts to prosecute illegalvoting by people who arenot U.S. citizens.

The U.S. attorney’s of-fice in Raleigh issued sub-poenas in recent days onbehalf of Immigration and

Customs Enforcement tothe North Carolina elec-tions board and more than40 county boards in theeastern third of the state,according to the subpoe-nas and the state board.

The same federal pros-ecutor, U.S. AttorneyBobby Higdon, an-nounced two weeks agothat 19 foreign nationalswere charged with regis-tering to vote or castingballots illegally becausethey weren’t U.S. citizens.

U.S.: Nicaragua on same path as Syria, Venezuela UNITED NATIONS —

The United States warnedthe Security Council onWednesday that Nicaraguais heading down the paththat led to conflict in Syriaand a crisis in Venezuelathat has spilled into theregion — but Russia, Chinaand Bolivia said Nicaraguadoesn’t pose an interna-

tional threat and the U.N.should butt out.

The sharp exchangestook place at the first Secu-rity Council meeting calledby U.S. Ambassador NikkiHaley, the current councilpresident, to address whatthe U.N. says is the govern-ment’s violent repression ofstudent and opposition

protests that have killedover 300 people since mid-April and led thousands toflee the country.

Haley said Nicaragua’sPresident Daniel Ortegaand Venezuela’s PresidentNicolas Maduro “are cutfrom the same corruptcloth And they are bothdictators.”

Trump says of shutdown:‘If it happens,it happens’

WASHINGTON —President Donald Trumpon Wednesday held outthe possibility of a govern-ment shutdown before theNovember elections overhis effort to build a wall onthe U.S.-Mexico border.

“If it happens, it hap-pens. If it’s about bordersecurity, I’m willing to doanything,” Trump saidduring a meeting with topRepublican lawmakers,citing the need to protectthe nation’s border by fol-lowing through on hisemblematic campaignpromise. “If it’s about bor-der security, I’m willing todo what has to be done.”

Trump’s stance onwhether he’d force a shut-down has zigzagged. He’spreviously suggested tolawmakers that he wouldnot allow a governmentshutdown before themidterm elections.

Lawmakers face a Sept.30 deadline to pass 12spending bills to keep thegovernment open.

Hundreds of potential jurors have puttheir lives on hold until at least next week asChicago steels itself for the trial of JasonVan Dyke. He’s the white police officercharged with first-degree murder in theshooting of black teenager Laquan McDon-ald.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s stunning an-nouncement Tuesday pre-empted the spec-tacle of a parallel trial outside the court-room. With Emanuel officially not runningfor re-election, the 12 or so remaining candi-dates lost the chance to remind voters — dayafter day after day — of how badly the may-or stumbled in response to the shooting.

Emanuel never really regained hisfooting. McDonald was killed on Oct. 20,2014, as Emanuel prepared to run for asecond term. Only after he’d been re-electeddid the public learn details of the shooting— 16 shots, several of them fired afterMcDonald had collapsed in the road — andits mishandling by City Hall and the CookCounty state’s attorney’s office.

Police officers closed ranks around VanDyke. He remained on the payroll, on deskduty, for 13 months, with disciplinary pro-ceedings on hold while the criminal investi-gation dragged on. City attorneys negotiateda $5 million settlement with McDonald’sfamily — even before a lawsuit was filed —and fought to withhold a damning policevideo until a judge ordered its release.

Struggling to contain the damage, Eman-

uel kept trying out narratives. First he said itwas all about “one individual,” as if thecriminal prosecution of a single cop couldset things right. Later he acknowledgedsystemic problems in the Police Depart-ment and named a task force to proposereforms.

He fiercely resisted intervention by theU.S. Department of Justice, then embracedit under public pressure. When the DOJchanged hands, he tried to walk away fromhis promise to submit to federal oversight of

policing in Chicago. He joined Illinois Attor-ney General Lisa Madigan at the bargainingtable only after she sued him.

In short, Emanuel’s words and actionswere calibrated and recalibrated, based onpolitical winds. In that way he was no dif-ferent from — and no better than — previ-ous mayors who could have reformed theChicago Police Department but ducked.

Chicago has a notoriously poor recordfor dealing with police misconduct. For

decades, prosecutors and police supervisorslooked the other way as Cmdr. Jon Burgeand his crew tortured confessions out ofsuspects.

Lesser transgressions, from unprofes-sional behavior to unnecessary force, wererarely punished. A dysfunctional disci-plinary process almost never found wrong-doing by an officer, feeding a culture ofimpunity in the department.

Van Dyke’s trial is likely to bring thosefailures front and center again — just asnegotiations on the consent decree arewrapping up. With the election not a factor,Emanuel can finish strong.

Voices demanding reforms — the Ameri-can Civil Liberties Union, Black Lives Mat-ter and a chorus of community groups — saythe current draft doesn’t go far enough. TheFraternal Order of Police wants no part of aconsent decree, calling it part of a “war onpolice” that will only worsen the out-of-control street violence.

It’s a tricky nexus for a third-term wan-nabe who can’t risk alienating those duelingconstituencies. But for a lame-duck mayorwho wants to leave a better city than theone he inherited, those considerations fallaway.

Instead of worrying about his place onthe ballot, Emanuel can think about hisplace in history. He can effect changes thatwill restore trust between police and citi-zens and set Chicago on the path to safe andlawful policing at last.

Emanuel can deliver lasting policereforms before he leaves office

ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

In the March 20 Illinois primary, morethan 54,000 Cook County Democrats wrotein the name of Cam Davis, a Great Lakesand water resources expert, for a board seatat the Metropolitan Water ReclamationDistrict. On Thursday, that Democrat-dominated board is scheduled to vote on ameasure that could block Davis’ path and,in effect, disenfranchise those 54,000Democratic voters.

That would be brazen cannibalism offellow Democrats, and we won’t be sur-prised if it backfires when Cook Countyvoters learn all about it.

Why would any of the eight Democratson this nine-member board risk their col-lective political futures by putting this be-trayal of their party’s voters on Thursday’sagenda? Evidently to please Chicago laborunion leaders upset about another outcomeof the March primary.

Let us explain this galling scheme,apparently conceived by some electionlawyer who tried to get too cute by half —and who now has left the board membersexposed to voters’ wrath:

The unexpected death of CommissionerTimothy Bradford three days before theDec. 4 filing deadline left his potential suc-cessors insufficient time to collect signa-tures and submit petitions to run. In a Janu-

ary legal opinion, the office of Cook CountyState’s Attorney Kim Foxx said that underthe circumstances, write-in candidates stillcould run in this 2018 election cycle for thelast two years of Bradford’s six-year term.To make the Nov. 6 general election ballot,Davis needed 8,075 primary election Demo-crats to write in his name. That more than54,000 Democrats did so is astonishing.We’re proud to have strongly endorsed him.

But in the same election — in a race for adifferent seat — incumbent Marty Durkanlost his bid to be on the November ballot,despite a tremendous push from organizedlabor. And organized labor is not amused tobe losing Durkan’s vote from a board withhuge sway over jobs and contracts.

In a separate move, after the primaryGov. Bruce Rauner moved a Republican,David Walsh, into the vacant Bradford seatas a placeholder. But Walsh isn’t running tohold the seat. Davis should easily win thatseat on Nov. 6 and replace Walsh in whatwas Bradford’s seat. Stick with us, this allcomes together.

On Tuesday, a measure surfaced on theboard’s Thursday agenda that, long storyshort, would keep Walsh in the Bradfordseat through 2020. So even though Davismight win election on Nov. 6, he couldn’tclaim the seat already occupied by Walsh.So Davis wouldn’t join the board. Instead,

Walsh would keep the seat warm until,come 2020, labor can elect Durkan or someother labor candidate to the seat. Did wemention that this measure was, quotingfrom an MWRD agenda document, “Re-spectfully Submitted, Martin J. Durkan,Chairman, Committee on State Legislationand Rules.”

Probably just a coincidence that a mea-sure from Marty Durkan’s committee couldhelp Marty Durkan someday rejoin theboard. Footnote to history: Durkan gotelected to the MWRD board in 2016 withhelp from Illinois House Speaker MichaelMadigan. We wrote at the time thatDurkan’s primary election mailers “bizarre-ly warned about the spread to Illinois ofwater problems in Flint, Mich., and be-trayed cluelessness about the MWRD andits functions.”

The net effect of this scheme, ofcourse, would be to disenfranchise those54,000 Democrats who, in the primary,wrote in Davis’ name. Because fealty toChicago labor leaders is more important toDemocratic officeholders than 54,000Democratic voters are.

In order to confirm that we understandthis for the Democratic-voters-be-damnedstunt that it is, on Wednesday we tried tocall all eight Democrats on the board. Wow,

they were just so, so busy! Racing to meet-ings, out of the office, visiting the hospital,blah, blah, blah — who has time to answerpesky questions about 54,000 voters? Thetwo Democrats gutsy enough to call us backprofessed to oppose this scheme. We’ll see.

Last we heard, our outreach was causingsuch a ruckus that the scheduled vote mightnot occur Thursday. Which isn’t to say itwon’t come back later.

Walsh, who wants to hang aroundthrough 2020, tells us Foxx’s office waswrong back on Jan. 11 to say that write-incandidates such as Davis could run. But ifthat’s correct, why didn’t Walsh go to courtbefore voters cast primary ballots and ask ajudge to declare Foxx mistaken and invali-date write-in candidacies? Instead we es-sentially have MWRD board memberstrying to make that argument now — longafter 54,000 Democrats wrote in Davis’name.

So to all the environmental and good-government groups that backed Davis’candidacy: Watch out. Under the board’sprotocols, this measure didn’t get on Thurs-day’s agenda without approval from severalDemocratic members. Those Democratsare trying to scuttle your votes. They’retrying to steal an election out from underyou.

Will MWRD Democrats disenfranchise54,000 Democratic voters?

In the 16 years since the Boston Globe Spotlight Teamrevealed what was then considered shocking evidence ofwidespread clergy sexual abuse, the Catholic Church hasproved only one thing: However good its intentions, it can’tclean up its own mess. This is not an indictment of allpriests; most serve honorably. But predator priests andtheir protectors need to be held criminally accountable.And prosecutors should get the tools they need to makethat happen. … A grand jury report, issued recently byPennsylvania Attorney General Joshua Shapiro, shows theongoing challenge of prosecuting decades-old crimes. ...

Even under the supposed enlightened regime of PopeFrancis, self-policing hasn’t worked. The pressure mustcome from law enforcement officers and lawmakers whoare prepared to treat predator priests and their protectorsas criminals. If they are convicted, lock them up.

The Boston Globe

Throughout the world today, the living parts of theCatholic Church are those where people have embracedCatholic teaching in full and have grasped that being afaithful Catholic means offering others the gift they havebeen given — friendship with Jesus Christ. These Catho-lics, who have been stirred to protest but have not beenshaken in their faith, are those who will effect the reformthe church needs.

They include those bishops, priests and lay men andwomen who have squarely faced the present wretch-edness, who are determined to get answers to the ques-tions that must be answered and who will not settle forthat form of institutional maintenance called stonewalling— whether it comes from their local bishop in the U.S. orfrom Rome.

Happily, those Catholics exist in considerable numbers.This is their moment.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING


PERSPECTIVE

OP-ART JOE FOURNIER

In many ways, the 2016 election wasa victory for capitalism, with an alleg-edly socialist intellectual presidentgiving way to a real estate mogulwhose understanding of businesswould unleash prosperity. The econo-my and the stock market are indeeddoing well. But although DonaldTrump’s administration may be goodfor capitalists, capitalists are not nec-essarily good for him.

Many a conservative has been in-spired by the hero of Ayn Rand’s “AtlasShrugged,” a brilliant businessmanand a model of what she called “theman of violent energy and passionateambition, the man of achievement,lighted by the flame of his success.”House Speaker Paul Ryan professed toregularly giving the book as a Christ-mas present and making his internsread it to learn the “morality of capi-talism.”

What is easy for those on either endof the political spectrum to forget isthat free-market commerce is notalways — or usually — a force for con-servative values. It is often just theopposite, as Nike’s embrace of Colin

Kaepernick confirms.The Republican Party has a large

complement of corporate titans in itscamp. But conservatives are remindedevery day that some of the most suc-cessful and innovative companies areled and staffed by people whoseworldview is deeply at odds withconservative ideology.

There is Amazon, whose founderand CEO, Jeff Bezos, owns The Wash-ington Post, a frequent target ofTrump’s animosity. There is Apple,where CEO Tim Cook has been avocal critic of racial injustice andanti-gay discrimination. Facebookexecutive Sheryl Sandberg has writ-ten, “A truly equal world would be onewhere women ran half our countriesand companies and men ran half ourhomes.”

Starbucks responded to Trump’stravel ban by pledging to hire 10,000refugees. After the Parkland schoolmassacre, Dick’s Sporting Goodsstopped selling military-style firearms.Google, under pressure from employ-ees opposed to creating “warfaretechnology,” withdrew from a Penta-gon project on artificial intelligence.

But at the moment, the most visibleface of corporate liberalism is Nike,whose new ad campaign featuresKaepernick, a former San Francisco49ers quarterback known for kneelingduring the pregame national anthemto protest police abuses and racism.The campaign decision provoked a

tweet from the president, who as-serted, “Nike is getting absolutelykilled with anger and boycotts.”

The company, which sells 120 mil-lion pairs of shoes a year, is not likelyto take marketing advice from a serialbankrupt. It has a long history of asso-ciation with black athletes, a groupthat includes few Trump supporters.It already offers a line of shoes namedfor LeBron James, who has publiclydenounced Trump.

Nike did take a business risk withKaepernick, and its stock dippedTuesday. But the company seems tothink it will gain more than it will losefrom the controversy, and it seemsprepared to accept whatever negativeconsequences ensue.

They are likely to be minor or non-existent. The right-wing NationalCenter for Public Policy Researchclaimed, “Nike is appealing to a small,radicalized market that supports BlackLives Matter and apparently hates thepolice.” But a large minority of thepublic sides with the kneeling players,and most people think the protestsshould be allowed regardless. If theKaepernick ads alienate some conser-vative customers, they will attractsome liberals.

Free markets have a way of dissolv-ing ancient prejudices and rigid cus-toms. Politicians in red states may tryto legislate against accommodationsfor transgender people, but businesseshave been among the most active

opponents of such measures. Many bigcompanies provided benefits to thesame-sex domestic partners of em-ployees before the Supreme Courtruled for gay marriage.

Conservatives are often inflamed bythe refusal of corporations to taketheir side. After Delta Air Lines cutties with the National Rifle Associ-ation, Georgia legislators exactedrevenge by repealing a tax exemptionon jet fuel — even though the airline isone of the state’s largest private em-ployers. Delta CEO Ed Bastian replied:“Our values are not for sale.”

What many big companies havefigured out is that Trumpism is inconflict with the behavior and atti-tudes they foster in their employees —and with the beliefs of most consum-ers. In the current polarized politicalclimate, the striking fact is not howmany corporations have challengedTrump. It’s how few have defendedhim.

The sentiment among many conser-vatives is that the country is changingin a variety of ways that threaten theirvalues. They’re right, and the compa-nies at the center of modern Americancapitalism are fine with that.

NIKE, KAEPERNICK AND THEMORALITY OF CAPITALISM

Steve Chapman


Political power playOne thing is certain about

Rahm Emanuel: He loves power.He did not drop out as a mayoralcandidate to give up power. Hewants more.

Consider: Donald Trump looksextremely vulnerable for the2020 election.

The Democratic field is full of:old guys (like Joe Biden), social-ists (like Bernie Sanders) andpeople with no name recognition.

Barack Obama would throwhis full support behind Emanuel.Even if minorities in Chicagohave their doubts about him,nationally, that endorsementwould be huge.

That sound you hear, after arespectable delay, is Emanuel’shat dropping into the ring.

— Rich Melson, Chicago

Harebrained schemeNow that Rahm Emanuel has

decided not to seek re-election,it’s time to kill Elon Musk’s pie-in-the-sky plan to tunnel fromdowntown to O’Hare Interna-tional Airport. The plan to tunnelfrom downtown to the airport

was always to help business exe-cutives save the 20 minutes morethat the Blue Line took, whileallowing them to avoid minglingwith the hoi polloi. And as for thestatement that no public fundswould be involved, we all knowwhat that means — the taxpayerswill end up paying a substantialpart of it.

For the good of the city andour taxpayers, the present ad-ministration and, eventually,whoever is elected mayor, shouldstop spending money on this wildscheme, and tell us how we aregoing to get some value out ofwhatever we have already spent.

— Frank L. Schneider, Chicago

Lasting legacyRahm Emanuel’s legacy — and

his underlying philosophy thatwe should kiss up to corporateAmerica and depend on it forbenevolence and campaign con-tributions — is a terrific failure.Nationally, this approach, imple-mented by Emanuel and his ilk,has left the Democratic Party asnothing more than a corporate-owned skeleton unable to defeata reality TV star. Locally, it has

made Chicago a place where it isnearly impossible for working-class people — and outright im-possible for poor people — toscrape by without collapsingfurther into debt. Emanuel hasnever understood that corporatehandouts for Amazon and Boeingdo nothing for the average Chi-cagoan.

To the long list of potentialreplacements, I urge you to takeheed: We don’t want the mem-bers of the old guard. They’vehad their chance to lead over thelast 30 years, and the result hasbeen a city that leaves too manypeople behind. A candidate com-pletely removed from the Daley-Emanuel era is essential to deliv-er the changes we need in educa-tion, housing and police account-ability. The time has come for bigideas and the courage to imple-ment them. Establishment poli-tics have failed Chicago. It’s timefor our young visionaries to standup and be counted.

— Frank Ryan, Chicago

What Rahm did rightTo those celebrating the an-

nouncement that Rahm Emanuel

will not run for re-election, Ihave a saying to share: “Be carefulfor what you wish for.”

Simply stated, I respect Eman-uel. He went against the grain —meaning he bucked his own partywhen necessary — and was will-ing to swallow some tough medi-cine for the greater good, even ifit hurt him politically. For in-stance, he didn’t raise propertytaxes because he enjoyed it orbecause it helped him politically,but because he knew we couldn’tkeep kicking the can down theroad.

Likewise, as a parent with kidsin Chicago Public Schools, Iappreciate that he brought somerigor back to the school day andyear, along with instituting full-day kindergarten and preschool.Those things will last a lot longerthan an election cycle.

As for his decision to close 50schools, guess what? Fifty moreshould probably be closed.Schools with fewer than 100 kids

in them — as the Tribune hasreported — are ridiculous andnot good for anyone. With peo-ple fleeing the city and state,school enrollment is way down.To keep schools open for politi-cal purposes is wrong on somany levels.

And to those decrying cityviolence, please, give some con-crete solutions. Just saying “in-vest” in communities is not aconcrete solution. Specifyingexactly what the investment is,who pays for it, what it is usedfor, who monitors it, how prog-ress is measured, and who isaccountable is a start.

I respect and appreciate thetough job Emanuel inherited andthat, for the most part, he tackledhead on, mostly earnestly. As hewalks out the door, I am re-minded of a pop song with thechorus, “You’re gonna miss mewhen I’m gone. …”

I will.— William Choslovsky, Chicago

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Rahm Emanuel’s announce-ment Tuesday that he will notrun for re-election sent shockwaves through Chicago. The2019 election of a new mayorand City Council will be a turn-ing point. As a result, you and Ican help decide Chicago’s fu-ture.

Mayor Emanuel has donesome good things for the city.Mayor Richard M. Daley presi-ded over Chicago becoming aglobal city. Emanuel cementedour position, he restored ourfinances and undertook impor-tant big projects such as devel-oping Chicago’s Riverwalk. Wehave finally nearly recoveredfrom the Great Recession.

Unfortunately, as Chuy Gar-cia charged in the 2015 mayoralcampaign, Emanuel’s tenure hasbeen a tale of two cities. TheLoop and the North Side haveflourished while the South andWest sides have not.

The times ahead are going tobe turbulent. Three great prob-lems remain in Chicago: crimeand police abuse; education andcity finances. Behind all three isa lack of faith and opportunityto participate in governmentamong Chicago’s citizens.

Come February, we willchoose a new mayor and a newcouncil. A few more candidatesmay join the race, but the dozenor so choices before us areplenty. And anyone who is goingto mount a serious campaign formayor or alderman needs theirpetitions out on the street now.Most viable candidates startedmonths ago and had their peti-tions circulating before LaborDay.

There are good men andwomen running, but they needour support to win. What mat-ters is whom you support withyour money, your work and yourvote. To win the election, amayoral candidate will need $5million, a clear platform of realpolicy proposals, a talented staffand hundreds of workers to hitthe precincts. A winning alder-manic candidate will require at

least $250,000 in most wardsand a knowledge of the commu-nity he or she seeks to serve. Soevery dollar, every hour’s effortand every vote matters. But sodo vision and leadership.

More than 250 candidates areexpected to run for the 50 alder-manic seats, and many of the oldguard are retiring. With a newmayor, it is especially importantthat the City Council no longeroperate as a rubber stamp to themayor’s wishes. It is time for thecouncil to be a legitimate legis-lature, initiating its own propos-als and holding the new mayoraccountable.

Most of all, it is time to returnto government by the people,not over the people. Severalaldermen already use participa-tory budgeting processes, inwhich constituents help decidehow city money is spent in theirwards. We need to expand thesetypes of successful experimentsto all 50 wards. When I offeredan ordinance to require that in1978, it was voted down 44-4 inthe council. Forty years later, thetime is ripe to decide how citi-zens should participate in shap-ing the government decisionsthat most affect our lives.

The 2019 election presentsbig decisions. Shall we reinsti-tute government by the people,or be content to live under anautocratic mayor and a rubber-stamp council? Shall we remainone of the most segregated citiesin North America, or claim ourrightful status as a multicultural,multiracial one? Shall we con-tinue to hold the title of murdercapital of the country? Will wecontinue to be satisfied withunderperforming publicschools? And will we pass ourmassive city and pension debton to our children and grand-children?

Consider these questions, andchoose the candidates who canlead us to a new and betterChicago.

Chicago voters, doyou want change —

or more of the same?By Dick Simpson

BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Brett M.Kavanaugh’s Supreme Courtconfirmation hearing is sched-uled to last all week. JudiciaryCommittee Chairman ChuckGrassley lost control after just 13words.

“Good morning,” he said. “Iwelcome everyone to this con-firmation hearing on the nomi-nation of ...”

“Mr. Chairman?” interruptedCalifornia Sen. Kamala D. Har-ris, a junior Democrat on thecommittee and a prospectivepresidential candidate.

She protested that the admin-istration had dumped 42,000pages of Kavanaugh’s writingsthe night before, leaving no timeto review them.

“You’re out of order,” Grass-ley informed her.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., another prospectivepresidential contender, jumpedin. “This hearing should bepostponed,” she said.

Grassley, ignoring her, wel-comed the nominee’s friendsand family.

This time, Sen. Richard Blu-menthal, D-Conn., interrupted,saying the lack of documents“turns this hearing into a cha-rade and a mockery of ournorms ... I therefore move toadjourn.”

Demonstrators in the audi-ence shouted echoes:

“This is a mockery and atravesty!”

“Adjourn the hearing!”Republicans called for order.

Grassley tapped his gavel inef-fectually. Police removed pro-testers.

There has never been a dis-ruptive spectacle like this at aSupreme Court confirmationhearing. But then there hasnever been a Supreme Courtnomination like this.

Kavanaugh may not becomethe most conservative memberof the court, but his backgroundsuggests he would be the mostpartisan. Working for KennethStarr in the 1990s, he was in-

volved in the Vincent Foster andMonica Lewinsky investiga-tions, proposing an explicit lineof questioning for President BillClinton with graphic queriesabout genitalia, masturbation,phone sex and oral sex. And as ayoung lawyer under George W.Bush, Kavanaugh was involvedin Bush v. Gore, as well as theprobe of Clinton’s pardons andlegal decisions about torture.

Hence the importance of the“documents.” Democrats say thecommittee received only 7 per-cent of Kavanaugh’s WhiteHouse documents — and someof those have been altered,while half cannot be discussedpublicly.

They would likely reinforcewhat is already known aboutKavanaugh as a nakedly parti-san appointment, solidifying thecourt’s transition from a delib-erative body to what is effec-tively another political branch.

This transition began withthe Robert Bork and ClarenceThomas hearings, and acceler-ated during the Bush v. Goreruling that gave the WhiteHouse to a Republican presi-dent and the Citizens Unitedruling that advantaged Republi-cans. It climaxed when SenateGOP leader Mitch McConnellrefused for a year to hold hear-ings on President Barack Oba-ma’s Supreme Court nomineeMerrick Garland. McConnell,having essentially put the U.S.Supreme Court on the ballot,then changed procedures tohave President Donald Trump’snominees approved by a simplemajority — thereby ending anypossibility of consensus.

And now Senate Republicansare pushing to have Kavanaughconfirmed on a party-line votebefore the public knows whathe did in the White House. Thiswill have him seated on the highcourt in time to consider what-ever challenges emerge fromTrump’s legal problems. Trumpis quite literally choosing hisjudge and jury.

Yet Kavanaugh, like his pred-ecessors, said without irony

Tuesday that “the SupremeCourt must never — never — beviewed as a partisan institu-tion.”

Among the Kavanaugh docu-ments that have been released:an email sent to him in 2002 bya White House spokeswomanabout a column I was writing.“Dude, you’ve got trouble,” itsays, informing Kavanaugh thatI wanted to discuss Clintonpardons and his work for Starr.

Kavanaugh’s two-word reply:“uh oh.”

Kavanaugh didn’t talk for thepiece, which argued that “acynical view of Kavanaugh’sactions would be that he baseshis legal reasoning on his con-servative views — that he sup-ports broad powers for a Repub-lican president and circum-scribed powers for a Demo-cratic president.”

What has emerged aboutKavanaugh — particularly hisvulgar plan to humiliate Clinton— reinforces that cynical view.This is why Kavanaugh’s de-fenders don’t want the docu-ments to come out — and whyDemocrats, and their Greekchorus in the audience, made ittheir focus Tuesday.

The protest continued steadi-ly for 75 minutes, then inter-mittently. Dozens were ar-rested. A midday Republicantally claimed 63 Democraticinterruptions and 80 complaintsabout documents — and stillhours to go. Sen. John Cornyn,R-Texas, decried “mob rule” andsaid Democrats would be “incontempt” if the hearing roomwere a court.

But five hours into the hear-ing, hecklers still shouted:

“Release all the documents!”“What are you hiding?”A weary Grassley, near day’s

end, vowed to regain control ofproceedings. “If you don’t runthe committee,” he said, “it runsyou.”

PERSPECTIVE

Using funerals for politicalpurposes is a long, but not distin-guished, tradition. In 44 B.C.eulogist Mark Antony claimed toRoman mourners that he came tobury Caesar. But his speech cre-ated a frenzy and ended up ensur-ing a death warrant for the once-“honorable” Brutus.

In contrast, aside from thecommemoration of the deceased,Americans mostly have seenfunerals as solemn reminders ofhow frail and transitory life is forall of us, and how our shared fatesshould unite even the bitterest ofenemies.

Sixteen years ago, on the eve ofthe 2002 midterm election and ata time when the U.S. was begin-ning to divide over the Af-ghanistan intervention and alooming Iraq war, Sen. Paul Well-stone, D-Minn., tragically died ina plane accident.

Wellstone’s Minnesota funeralwas meant to be a commemora-tion of a life of a public servantwell-lived. But the funeral servicewas soon hijacked by partisanspeakers and ended up a loud andoften-grating political pep rally.

The message to mourners of allbeliefs and persuasions was totranslate their grief into votes forprogressive candidates like Well-stone. Popular discontent overnews of the politicalized funeralmay well have explained why,two weeks later, the majorityRepublicans actually picked upseats in George W. Bush’s firstmidterm election.

At the recent eight-hour, tele-vised funeral of iconic singerAretha Franklin, speakers such asAl Sharpton and Jesse Jacksonturned the event into a politicalwake — calling for everythingfrom increased voter registrationto tighter standards on drinkingwater.

Activist and Georgetown Uni-versity professor Michael EricDyson embarrassed himself withadolescent hits against PresidentDonald Trump: “You lugubrious

leech, you dopey doppelganger ofdeceit and deviance, you lethalliar, you dimwitted dictator, youfoolish fascist.”

The next day, the televisedstate funeral for Arizona Sen.John McCain likewise becamejust as political.

McCain and President Trumpwere hardly friends. During the2016 election, Trump had incrude fashion impugned Mc-Cain’s stellar military service,which included a horrific 5 1⁄2

years as a prisoner of war in adank North Vietnamese prison.

For his part, McCain had earli-er cruelly called Trump support-ers “crazies.” Later he helpedbring the largely discreditedanti-Trump Fusion/GPS dossier

to the attention of federal author-ities. And he flipped on Oba-macare to cast the deciding votethat defeated Trump’s effort torepeal and replace it.

That McCain-Trump discordsoon became thematic in thefuneral eulogies.

In not-so-veiled allusions,daughter Meghan McCain re-ceived loud applause for blastingTrump, as if she had delivered apartisan campaign speech:

“We gather here to mourn thepassing of American greatness,the real thing, not cheap rhetoricfrom men who will never comenear the sacrifice he gave so will-ingly, nor the opportunistic ap-propriation of those who livelives of comfort and privilege

while he suffered and served.”Former President Barack

Obama also used his time to refer-ence Trump, with similar not-so-subtle attacks. “Much of ourpolitics can seem small and meanand petty. Trafficking in bombastand insult, phony controversiesand manufactured outrage.”

Former President George W.Bush, no friend of Trump, took aswipe as well. He contrastedMcCain with Trump’s policies onillegal immigration and the sum-mit with Vladimir Putin. “He(McCain) respected the dignityinherent in every life, a dignitythat does not stop at borders andcannot be erased by dictators.”

Once a funeral is turned intopolitics, then politics takes on a

life of its own. Meghan McCain,Obama and Bush were apparentlyall unaware of the paradox ofcalling for greater tolerance andcivility while using a funeraloccasion to score uncivil pointsagainst a sitting president.

Once solemnity is sacrificed, itbecomes legitimate to rememberthat Bush himself once infa-mously looked into the eyes ofPutin and said he saw a soul“straightforward” and “trustwor-thy” — a characterization mockedby John McCain.

Obama had waged an often-brutal 2008 presidential cam-paign against McCain that sawlow insinuations leveled at Mc-Cain as too old and at times nearsenile. Bush was accused by Mc-Cain in 2000 of running a dirtyprimary battle.

Why are funerals of celebritiesand politicians turning into ex-tended and televised politicalrallies?

Partly, the volatile DonaldTrump and his frantic politicaland media critics are locked in acrude, no-holds-barred waragainst each other — waged ev-erywhere nonstop.

Partly, everything in Americahas become politicized. There isno escape from partisanship —not in movies, sitcoms, comicbooks, late-night TV, professionalsports, social media, the internetand 24/7 cable news. Not eventhe dead escape it.

Now the funerals of notablesapparently will be televised,scripted and offer good ratingsfor political score settling. Noth-ing is sacrosanct.

Politicizing funerals will notend well.

$40M delivers Cicerowarehouse to ShipBob

With $40 million in new in-vestments announced Thursday,Chicago-based e-commerce lo-gistics company ShipBob is eye-ing an expansion — starting witha new fulfillment warehouse inCicero and a push to hire 100people in the next year.

The startup aims to help smallto midsize e-commerce compa-nies ship their products at speedssimilar to Amazon. Shipping lo-gistics tends to be the hardestpart of launching an e-commercebrand, said Dhruv Saxena, Ship-Bob’s co-founder and CEO.

“The expectation from a cus-tomer standpoint is that they willget all of their e-commerce or-

ders delivered to them like Ama-zon Prime: same-day, next-day,”he said. “These e-commercebusinesses don’t have the infra-structure to support that cus-tomer expectation.”

ShipBob plans to use its $40million round of funding to con-tinue working toward that capa-bility and improve its softwareplatform. Its new facility onOgden Avenue is six times largerthan the company’s previous Chi-cago-area warehouse. It can fa-cilitate same-day delivery for

Chicago-area customers order-ing products from e-commerceplatform Shopify.

Other e-commerce fulfillmentcompanies also are investing inthe Chicago area to keep up withbooming demand from onlineshoppers.

Las Vegas-based Rakuten Su-per Logistics announcedWednesday that it would opentwo additional fulfillment cen-ters, one in New Jersey and the

Top Chicago architects are lin-ing up to compete for the massiveO’Hare International Airport ex-pansion project, a key priority ofMayor Rahm Emanuel before heleaves office.

Jahn; Skidmore, Owings &Merrill; and Perkins+Will willsubmit qualifications to the city’sDepartment of Aviation by itsSept. 13 deadline, members of thefirms told the Tribune Wednes-day.

The city’s $8.7 billion expansionplans call for demolishing O’Hareaging Terminal 2, built in 1961, and

replacing it with a global terminaland concourse that can accommo-date both domestic and inter-

national flights. Two other con-courses would be built as part ofthe expansion.

After Emanuel announcedTuesday that he would not seek athird term, the mayor told Chi-cago Sun-Times columnist MarkBrown that picking an architectfor the new international terminalis high on his to-do list before hisreplacement takes over nextspring.

The Department of Aviationoriginally set an Aug. 9 deadlinefor architects to submit qualifica-tions, then, without explanation,postponed the date — first to Aug.28 and then to Sept. 13. LaurenHuffman, a department spokes-woman, did not respond to arequest to explain the searchprocess for the expansion, whichapparently will result in two firmsgetting separate pieces of theproject.

Farmer’s Fridge, the Chi-cago-based startup that sellssalads and other meals fromvending machines, plans todouble its operation next yearafter recently closing a $30million financing round led byformer Google CEO EricSchmidt’s venture capital fund.

Launched in 2013, Farmer’sFridge has grown to about 185machines in Chicago and Mil-waukee, with another 225coming coming on line by theend of this year, said founderand CEO Luke Saunders. Thislatest roundof financingwill help thecompanybeef up itsChicagoworkforce,while add-ing 400 to500 morefridges inother Mid-western cities such as Detroit,Indianapolis, Cincinnati andSt. Louis by the end of nextyear, Saunders said.

Saunders wouldn’t discloserevenue figures for Farmer’sFridge, a privately held com-pany. But he said Farmer’sFridge has gone from selling a“couple hundred” meals perday just three years ago toselling about 15,000 meals perday now, he said.

The company’s recentgrowth has been fueled in partby its use of technology. Lastyear, Farmer’s Fridge launchedtouch-screen technology for itsfridges that connected with anew app.

Using the app, customerscan check the inventory of thefridges closest to them andaccess customized deals as partof a loyalty program. About 70percent of all Farmer’s Fridgetransactions are now linked tothe loyalty program, Saunderssaid.

SMS Assist has begun hiringfor the office, starting with cus-tomer service roles, CEO TaylorRhodes said. The office is set toopen with about 30 employees atthe beginning of October.

“This is a chance for us todiversify and reach into newtalent pools,” Rhodes said.“Growth is a good problem tohave, but growth requires you tofigure out space and talent pools.”

Rhodes told the Tribune thisspring that the company plannedto hire more than 100 people thisyear, and he said Wednesday thatit has added at least that manyemployees in 2018 to date.

Some of those new employeeswill help with product and techdevelopment, moving SMS Assist

Chicago-based technologycompany SMS Assist saidWednesday it plans to open asecond Chicago-area office inNaperville, with room for up to400 employees.

Launched in 1999, SMS Assistconnects property managers withsubcontractors to address main-tenance issues. Clients includeresidential rental company Invi-tation Homes and JPMorganChase, and SMS Assist has morethan 20,000 vendors — electri-cians, snow removal services,

toward its next step: predictiveanalytics. The goal is to partnerwith companies that deploy sen-sors in buildings and gather datathat can be used to predict ifequipment might break.

The company’s software devel-opment team will remain down-town, Rhodes said. Its current800 employees take up threefloors in the building formerlycalled the John Hancock Center,and it recently hired a new chiefhuman resources officer to helpmanage growth. The employeesat the Naperville office will befocused mainly on working withthe subcontractors and compa-nies that use SMS Assist’stechnology.

SMS Assist is one of Chicago’sunicorns, an industry term forprivately held companies valued

Since CD savers generally focus on maximizing their rateof return, special certiicates with a name like “Raise YourRate” are going to grab some attention. But as with allthings surrounding CD selection, you’ll be well served byshopping around and then ensuring you understand anyCD’s terms before opening it.

A “raise your rate” CD, sometimes called a “bump-upCD”, offers savers a special option to increase their in-terest rate during the maturity period. Usually you’ll beafforded one rate bump, although some longer CDs allowfor two increases.

The bank will also spell out the rules for what new rateyou can capture. Generally, you’ll be allowed to take ad-vantage of the bank’s current rate on that same CD term.

It sounds ideal, at least in periods when interest ratesare on the rise. But there are still good reasons you mayprefer a standard CD.

First and foremost is the cardinal rule of always shoppingaround when choosing a CD. Rates across banks andcredit unions vary widely, especially as online accessto institutions outside your community grows. So eventhough you can boost the rate later, your rate today stillneeds to be competitive compared to other CDs.

Second, beware that you can only capture a new, bet-ter rate from the same exact term as your current CD.If your original CD is an odd term, or the bank tends torelease its best rates on promotional odd-term certii-cates, you may never have a chance to capitalize on arate increase.

If you’ve done your research and a particular “raise yourrate” CD still seems like a good buy, it certainly offers anice perk during these days of rising interest rates. Justdon’t go in without that all-important step of shoppingaround.

Is a “raise your rate” CD a good choice?

other in suburban McCook,which is expected to openin October. Amazon alsohas been bulking up itspresence in the area andnow operates more thanhalf a dozen facilities inIllinois.

There is room in thee-commerce fulfillmentworld for a company be-sides Amazon, said SunilChopra, a professor atNorthwestern University’sKellogg School of Manage-ment. To compete with thetech giant and other play-ers, ShipBob will need totake advantage of its scaleto lower the cost of itsservices for customers.

“That is the key,” he said.ShipBob’s new Cicero

warehouse is roughly thesize of two football fields.The space is still filling up,but already occupying theshelves are products fromat least 1,000 e-commercecompanies, includingquinoa snack brand I HeartKeenwah and apparel-maker Creepy Co., bothbased in Chicago. There arerows of bins filled withsmaller items, like watchstraps and zombie T-shirts,and racks of unpackedboxes stuffed with prod-ucts from socks to back-hair trimmers waiting to beordered. Workers move be-tween the rows, puttingboxes on racks and sortingthrough pallets. Employeespull deconstructed boxesfrom piles for packaging.

“There was a time whenwe knew all the clients andproducts, and that’s longgone,” co-founder JivkoBojinov said on a recentafternoon, as he walkedthrough the rows of items.

In about a year, ShipBobgrew to more than 350employees from 60. Thecompany’s hiring plans forthe next year are fueled byits plans to open morefulfillment centers anddouble the size of its soft-

ware engineering team,Saxena said.

Besides the Cicero ware-house, the company op-erates fulfillment centers inLos Angeles, San Francisco,New York and Dallas. Ship-Bob plans to open more inthe next few years, andtheir locations will dependon shipping demand, Sax-ena said.

ShipBob’s warehousesdepend on its technologyplatform to run. As orderscome in through compa-nies’ websites, thetechnology generates ship-ping labels for workers tofill in the warehouse. Theworkers wear iPod Touchdevices on their wrists andscanners on their fingers.The ShipBob app on theiPod tells them what itemsto pull, and they use thefinger scanners to confirmthey pulled out the rightproducts. The software alsohelps with back-officetasks, such as knowingwhen to restock.

ShipBob’s technologythen compares shippingprices to determine whichcarrier to use to deliver thepackages. Its technologysends tracking informationto the clients’ websites forthe consumer, who neversees ShipBob’s brand.

On a recent afternoon,new worker Lashon Gileswas filling an order offabric swatches for a poten-tial new couch. It was herthird week on the job, andnow that she knew wherethings were, the technologydid the hard parts of the jobfor her, she said. She movedamong the aisles, pullingout swatches of colors suchas “earth” and “wheat,”pointing her finger scannerat the QR code on the binand moving on.

“It’s meant to be reallysimple,” Bojinov said. Theemployees provide feed-back on how to improve thetechnology — an effort thatthe new funding will helpdrive. One of the goals is to

reduce the number of stepsemployees take, makingthem more efficient. Ama-zon has been workingtoward the same ends.

The e-commerce giant’sfulfillment center in southsuburban Monee, for ex-ample, employs a fleet ofrobots alongside its work-ers, allowing them to proc-ess more orders. Amazonalso has eyed technologythat could track the move-ment of its workers handsas they fill orders.

Owning the warehousesand the software that helpsthem operate has ShipBobpoised for growth in analready expanding indus-try, said Ira Weiss, manag-ing director of Chicago-based Hyde Park VenturePartners, one of the compa-ny’s investors.

“There’s nobody doinganything exactly like whatwe’re doing,” he said. “Sixto 12 months from now, itwill be clear to everyonethat we’ve won the mar-ket.”

The next challenge fac-ing ShipBob will be con-tinuing to execute andmanage growth, Weiss said.

The latest round of fund-ing is the company’s fourth,bringing its total raised tomore than $62 million. Thecompany did not discloseits new valuation.

California-based MenloVentures led the round, andpartner Shawn Carolanwill join ShipBob’s board ofdirectors. Carolan alsohelped with Menlo Ven-tures’ investment in Uber.Other repeat ShipBob in-vestors include Chicago-based Hyde Park Angels;Bain Capital Ventures, thePalo Alto, Calif.-based ven-ture capital arm of BainCapital; and Y Combinator,the famed California accel-erator ShipBob wentthrough four years agoshortly after launching.

That technology clearlyappealed to the lead in-vestor on the financinground, Schmidt’s SiliconValley-based InnovationEndeavors.

“We’re excited to part-ner with the visionary teamat Farmer’s Fridge to helpthem build a world-chang-ing platform and improvehealth through food,” saidDror Berman, foundingpartner of Innovation En-deavors, in a statement.

Beyond its salads, Far-mer’s Fridge has also re-cently grown its menu toinclude wraps, sandwichesand bowls.

To keep up with de-mand, the company soonwill be looking for a largerproduction facility of about50,000 square feet, prefera-bly in Chicago, Saunders

said. Currently, Farmer’sFridge products are madein an 8,000-square-footkitchen in the city’s WestTown neighborhood, inproximity to the company’soffices located in the Indus-trial Council of NearwestChicago incubator build-ing.

Farmer’s Fridge alsoplans to increase its Chi-cago workforce — fromabout 130 Chicago workerstoday to 200 by the end ofnext year.

Beyond Innovation En-deavors, the Silicon Valley-based venture capital fundled by Schmidt, other in-vestors in the $30 millionround of financing in-cluded: Cleveland Avenue,the Chicago-based venturecapital fund led by formerMcDonald’s CEO DonThompson; Danone Mani-festo Ventures, an invest-

ment fund for the Frenchfood company; and Chi-cago-based investmentfirm Hyde Park Angels.

Pete Wilkins, managingdirector for Hyde Park An-gels, said he believes Far-mer’s Fridge could eventu-ally grow to be an inter-national brand. The loca-tion of the fridges — inairports, on college cam-puses, in or near officebuildings — puts the foodclose to where consumerswork every day, Wilkinssaid.

“My view of the companyis that it has the opportunityto transform how we buyand eat healthy food. Thefridge is really just thedelivery mechanism,”Wilkins said. “I’m reallybullish on the opportunity.”

has a distinguished archi-tectural past.

Following design princi-ples of the German-Ameri-can architect Ludwig Miesvan der Rohe, Chicagoarchitects C.F. Murphy As-sociates in the 1960s de-signed glistening, steel-and-glass terminals thatmade the airport a symbolof the city’s postwar mod-ernization drive.

Additions in the 1980sand 1990s added to theairport’s architectural dis-tinction.

In recent years, however,O’Hare has felt increasinglyout of date, burdened bypost-Sept. 11 security re-quirements and rising pas-senger loads that havemade its terminals seemanything but spacious.

Firms vying for the ex-pansion project must havebeen the lead architect ontwo “successfully com-pleted” airport projects inthe last 15 years, accordingto the city’s request forqualifications.

The projects must serve

The Chicago knowncontenders include:■ Jahn, headed by HelmutJahn, whose projects in-clude O’Hare’s 1988 UnitedAirlines terminal, the 1984O’Hare CTA station, andairport terminals servingCologne, Germany, andBangkok.■ Skidmore, Owings &Merrill, whose lead de-signer for the O’Hare bid isScott Duncan. Duncan,whose most recent airportterminal was in Mumbai,India, will work with avia-tion experts from otherSkidmore offices.■ Perkins+Will, whose topdesigner Ralph Johnsondesigned O’Hare’s 1993International Terminal.Perkins+Will will teamwith London-based Pas-call+Watson, which spe-cializes in airport terminals.

The O’Hare expansionjob is important not onlybecause it forms a high-profile gateway to the city,but also because the airport

at least 7 million annualpassengers and one mustbe an international airportfacility whose constructioncost topped $200 million.

An evaluation commit-tee, whose members havenot been named, will re-view the qualifications sub-mitted by the firms andrecommend to the AviationDepartment commissionera short list of up to fivefinalists.

A timetable for naming awinner has not been set.

Two design contracts willbe awarded after the final-ists are judged, the requestfor qualifications says.

The winning team will beawarded the global terminaland concourse. Once a con-tract is negotiated with thewinning team, the city willenter negotiations with thesecond-place team for theother two concourses.

The city of London hasopened an office in Chi-cago aimed at making iteasier for Chicago-basedcompanies to expandacross the pond, and viceversa.

London & Partners, theofficial promotion agencyfor London, opened itsoffice at WeWork’s co-working location onKinzie Street in August.The employees there aretasked with supportingLondon-based companiesthat open offices in Chi-cago and helping Chicago-based companies expandto the British capital, saidLaura Citron, CEO of Lon-don & Partners.

“They’re kind of ourtalent hunters in Chicago,spotting the next bigthings and bringing (them)to London,” she said.

London has increas-ingly been a destinationfor Chicago-based compa-nies as they look to expandinternationally. London &Partners has helped morethan 50 companies fromthe city expand to Londonover the past 10 years,creating 1,000 jobs, Citronsaid. During the same timeperiod, almost 70 London-based companies — in-cluding mining companyRio Tinto Group and im-age recognition softwarefirm Blippar — openedChicago offices, creatingnearly 3,700 jobs.

The trend is especiallypronounced in thetechnology industry, ascompanies look to Lon-don-based talent for theirsoftware developmentneeds and take the firststep toward internationalexpansion.

Technology companyMediafly opened a Lon-don office in early June, itsfirst office outside the U.S.The Chicago company,which makes a softwareplatform for salespeople,worked with London &Partners when it was ex-panding, said TonyKavadas, executive vicepresident of global salesand alliances at Mediafly.

Kavadas said he realizedLondon & Partners is apromotional agency, but itwas able to provide rele-vant data and help themevaluate the market. Medi-afly didn’t have “to start atground zero,” he said.

“No matter how muchyou try to be plugged infrom the U.S., if you don’thave someone on theground that understandsit and can explain it to usand tell us what we’regetting into,” it’s more of achallenge, he said.

The resources London& Partners provides couldprove vital for startupslooking to go to London,said Sarit Markovich, a

clinical associate professorin the strategy departmentat Northwestern Universi-ty’s Kellogg School ofManagement. Many largefirms fail when they try toexpand internationally,and it’s a risky move forsmaller companies.Markovich said the risk isreduced when startupsand technology companiesget plugged in with theright mentors and com-munities in their new city— be it Chicago or London.

Chicago-basedGroupon and Grubhubalso have set up offices inLondon, for example. Cy-bersecurity firm Trust-wave opened a Londonoffice in the mid-2000s,said Rick Miller, generalmanager of the Americasand Europe, Middle Eastand Africa for the com-pany. Miller said he ex-pects to use the ChicagoLondon & Partners officefor guidance on relocatingemployees to London orkeeping up with local cus-toms and regulations.

“You can learn that,” hesaid. “But it’s probably alot faster and more directjust to have that resourcethere.”

London & Partners’Chicago office will beheaded by Kyle DeGiulio,who previously worked atWorld Business Chicago,the city’s economic devel-opment arm. The officeopened with two employ-ees. The agency has simi-lar offices in New York,Los Angeles and San Fran-cisco in the U.S.

The new office is part ofan ongoing business de-velopment effort betweenthe two cities. LondonMayor Sadiq Khan led atrade mission to Chicagoin 2016, and Chicago May-or Rahm Emanuel led abusiness delegation toLondon the next year.

Emanuel unexpectedlyannounced Tuesday thathe would not be seeking athird term in office. Be-sides Emanuel’s doggedefforts to bring companiesto Chicago and help themexpand in the city, he alsohas been supportive of thetechnology industry. Buthaving someone else inthe mayor’s office won’tchange London’s strongworking relationship withcity, Citron said.

Dennis Vicchiarelli,executive vice president ofbusiness development atWorld Business Chicago,agreed.

“The mayor helped es-tablish us, and now thatwe’re a known entity interms of the internationalstage, at some point wehave to take the responsi-bility for ourselves,” hesaid. “It kind of has its owninertia and momentumright now.”

As racial diversity tum-bles on Wall Street, JPMor-gan Chase has reached asettlement with financialadvisers who say they weretreated poorly becausethey’re black.

Six current and formeremployees at the largest U.S.bank filed what they askedto be a class action, allegingdiscrimination that’s “uni-form and national in scope.”Instead of fighting it incourt, the bank agreed topay $19.5 million to themembers of the class, ac-cording to Friday filings. Itwill also put $4.5 millioninto a fund that will backrecruitment, bias training, areview of branch assign-ments and a coaching pro-gram for black advisers.

“This settlement elimi-nates the need for litigation,allowing us to continue ourfocus on a diverse andinclusive environment,”said Tom Kelly, a spokes-man for JPMorgan. “Wewill enhance the careers ofour black advisers.” In thesettlement, the bank deniesany “wrongdoing of anykind whatsoever.”

Big Wall Street bankshave been losing blackworkers year after year inthe U.S. Inside JPMorgan,the share of black employ-ees has dropped for sixstraight years, to 13.4 per-cent in 2017 from 16 percentin 2011, according to its ownfigures. Black workers ac-count for about 1 in 10 of theU.S. employees at Citigroup,down from about 1 in 6 in2009.

The lawsuit accuses JP-Morgan of sending whiteadvisers to wealthier placeswhile assigning black col-leagues to less lucrative

branches and denying themopportunities. They hadfew licensed bankers tosupport them, were mostlykept out of a program forricher clients and got paidless, the suit says.

“These racial disparitiesresult from Chase’s sys-temic, intentional race dis-crimination and from poli-cies and practices that havean unlawful disparate im-pact on African Americans,”the six plaintiffs said in courtpapers. They are JeromeSenegal in Texas, ErikaWilliams in Illinois, BrentGriffin in Wisconsin, IrvinNash in New York, AmandaJason in Kentucky and Kel-lie Farrish in California.

“Our clients are proud ofthis outcome and acknowl-edge that JPMorgan had achoice to fight,” their lawyerLinda Friedman said in anemail. “Each case builds onthe last. This is how prog-ress is made.”

Other banks have facedsimilar allegations. WellsFargo agreed to a $35.5million settlement withblack financial advisers, andBank of America’s MerrillLynch resolved a race dis-crimination suit for $160million five years ago.

Jamie Dimon, JPMor-gan’s chief executive officer,has said the firm is makingprogress. He told share-holders in an April 2016letter that he would “dra-matically step up our effort”to hire black people.

Friedman, a civil rightsattorney, worked on one ofthe most famous Wall Streetgender-discriminationfights, known as the “Boom-Boom Room” suit. It wasfiled in 1996 against SmithBarney — when the manrunning the firm, and adefendant in the case, wasDimon.

HONOLULU — UnitedAirlines is planning toinvest $200 million in up-grades to Hawaii airportsover the next decade, offi-cials said.

United CEO OscarMunoz said the invest-ment will be geared formodernizing the tools andresources employees useat airports in the state,aiming to give customers abetter experience, theHonolulu Star-Advertiserreported Tuesday.

“We couldn’t be moresupportive of a faster, bet-ter modernization of theproduct (state airports)that is the image of Hawaiito the millions of touriststhat come here,” Munozsaid. “It couldn’t be moreneeded. All of us that flyhere constantly have seenthe effects of time.”

United is also planningto shift service schedulesto make it easier to con-nect to Hawaii from itsseven domestic hub cities

of Los Angeles, San Fran-cisco, Chicago, Denver,New York, Houston andWashington.

The changes are aimedat allowing customers todepart the mainland atnight so they can arrive inthe state in the morning,Munoz said.

The carrier is expectingto launch the schedulingchange at the Denver air-port in February.

The airline has beenoffering service to Hawaiifor 70 years. It expandedin the state over the lastyear, adding 11 new routesand more than 360,000seats on flights, accordingto the Hawaii TourismAuthority. The airline ex-pects to have nearly12,000 flights operating inHawaii this year.

United’s additionalHawaii routes initiallybenefited from increaseddemand, but then experi-enced a slight dip from theKilauea volcano eruptionand increased carriercompetition, Munoz said.

WASHINGTON — TheU.S. trade deficit widenedfor the second straightmonth in July as well as bythe most in three years,reaching the highest levelsince February, as importshit an all-time high. Thedeficit in goods with Chinaand the European Union setrecords even as the Trumpadministration imposed tar-iffs on a range of Chinesegoods, prompting retaliato-ry levies from Beijing.

The Commerce Depart-ment said Wednesday thatthe deficit in goods andservices — the differencebetween what America sellsand what it buys from othercountries — rose to $50.1billion in July from $45.7billion in June. Exportsslipped 1 percent to $211.1billion. Imports increased0.9 percent to a record$261.2 billion on increasedpurchases of trucks andcomputers.

The increase in the over-all trade gap was the biggestsince March 2015, the Com-

merce Department said. The deficit rose despite

efforts by President DonaldTrump to bring it down byrenegotiating trade agree-ments and imposing taxeson imports.

The United States hasalready slapped tariffs on$50 billion in Chinese goodsin a dispute over Beijing’saggressive efforts to chal-lenge American technolog-ical dominance. It is taxingimported steel and alumi-num and may target autoimports next, causing a riftwith the EU. Trump also hasthreatened to exclude Cana-da from a revamped NorthAmerican trade agreement.

But the president’s ag-gressive policies have hadlittle impact on the tradenumbers. The goods deficitwith China rose 10 percentin July to a record $36.8billion. The gap with the EUshot up 50 percent to arecord $17.6 billion and withCanada nearly 58 percent to$3.1 billion. The July deficitwith Mexico, however,plunged 25 percent to $5.5billion.

So far this year, the trade

deficit is up 7 percent fromJanuary-July 2017.

Trump views trade defi-cits as a sign of economicweakness, caused by badtrade deals and abusive be-havior by America’s tradingpartners.

A widening trade deficitwould drag on growth in thethird quarter after a nar-rower gap helped boost thepace of expansion in theprior period to the fastestsince 2014. While other in-dicators suggest gross do-mestic product is on trackfor solid gains in the secondhalf, the latest figures showhow Trump’s tariffs maystart to weigh on the econo-my.

“If we see tariffs andretaliatory tariffs, it will dis-rupt the flows of goods andservices — and you’ve seensome of that,” said StephenStanley, chief economist atAmherst Pierpont Securi-ties.

Mainstream economistsblame persistent U.S. tradedeficits on an economicreality that can’t be changedmuch by trade policy:Americans spend more than

they produce, and importsfill the gap. The strong U.S.economy is also encourag-ing Americans to buy moreforeign products.

Another way to see thesituation is that the U.S.economy “is straining tomeet demand; domesticproduction can’t handle allthe demand, so pulling ingoods and services fromabroad is a release valve tosatisfy very strong demand,”Stanley said.

In July, the United Statesran a deficit of $73.1 billionin goods such as cars andmachinery, but recorded asurplus of more than $23billon in services such aseducation and banking.

The China tensions arepoised to deepen, whichcould affect trade even morestarting this month. Trump— who characterizes thedeficit as showing how pastadministrations’ policieshave hurt the U.S. — wantsto move ahead with tariffson $200 billion of Chineseimports as soon as a public-comment period concludesThursday, Bloomberg Newsreported last week.

NEW YORK — Uber isaiming to boost driver andpassenger safety in aneffort to rebuild trust inthe brand.

The company has cre-ated a feature to reach outto passengers and driversif it detects an accident orunplanned stop. Driverswill also have access to ahands-free feature to pickup passengers withouttouching their phones,and they will no longer seedata detailing where theyretrieved passengers inthe past.

“This is just the begin-ning of the journey forUber,” CEO Dara Khos-rowshahi said Wednesdayduring the company’s un-veiling of the new featuresin New York City. “Wewant Uber to be the safesttransportation platformon the planet.”

Uber plans to use loca-tion data to figure out if astop seems unusual be-cause there’s no traffic orif a car hasn’t made it to itsfinal destination. If there isa long, unexpected stopduring a trip, both the

rider and the driver willreceive a ride check noti-fication to ask if every-thing is OK.

The company has alsoadded a button for driversto contact emergencyservices. Uber says usingthe button is more effi-cient than calling 911 be-cause the Uber app con-tains the vehicle’s exactlocation.

Going forward, Uberwill conceal specificpickup and drop-off ad-dresses in the driver’s triphistory so that only thegeneral area where a triphas started and ended willshow up on the driver’sapp, not the address.

Khosrowshahi hasmade safety one of his toppriorities since taking overas CEO a year ago.

Since it began operatingin 2009, Uber has beendogged by reports of driv-ers accosting passengers,including lawsuits alleg-ing sexual assaults. Lastyear, the company wasfined $8.9 million by thestate of Colorado for al-lowing people with seri-ous criminal or motorvehicle offenses to work asdrivers.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi unveils some of the com-

pany’s new features Wednesday in New York City.

Chicago Daily TribuneON SEPTEMBER 6 ...

Marie Severin, one of thefirst women to become amajor comic book illustra-tor and who helped pro-duce “Dr. Strange,” “TheIncredible Hulk” and otherclassic works for MarvelComics, died Aug. 29 at ahospice facility in Massape-qua, N..Y. She was 89.

The cause was a hemor-rhagic stroke, said a friend,Daniel Friedman.

Severin spent more than50 years as an illustrator,handling all three of themajor visual tasks in comicbook production: penciling,inking and coloring. Sheworked closely with Mar-vel’s editor-in-chief, StanLee, for decades and in 2001was named to the WillEisner Comics Hall ofFame.

In the 1970s, Severin wasa co-creator of Jessica Drew— better known as thesuperhero Spider-Woman— and designed the charac-ter’s skintight red-and-yel-low costume.

“Marie Severin did it all —penciler, inker, colorist,character creator,” historianand publisher Craig Yoe, theformer creative director ofJim Henson’s Muppets,wrote in an email. He calledher “one of the last ofcomics’ greatest generation.”

Severin began her careerin 1949, when her brother,John Severin, asked her tohelp with comic books hewas illustrating for ECComics. She was often rele-gated to what was seen asthe secondary role of col-orist.

Traditionally, a comicbook began with pencilsketches, which could bealtered before eventuallybeing drawn in final form bythe “inker.” The pencilers,inkers and writers who pro-vided the story line wereconsidered the creativeforces in comic books. Thenthe colorist — Severin’s ini-tial role — took over. Using apalette of 48 colors in thatpre-computer age, shemixed dyes and appliedhues to a series of black-and-white line drawings,thus giving comics much oftheir eye-catching vibrancy.

“It’s like music in the

background,” Marie Severinsaid in an interview with awebsite called TheSequen-tialArt.com. “I think of col-oring as the music in comicbooks.”

Despite the high level ofartistry, comic books wereseldom considered a seriousor collectible art form —even by the people whocreated them — until yearslater. The original artworkthat Severin labored over,often under intense dead-lines, was then sent tocompositors and eventuallyprinted on cheap, coarsepaper to be sold to childrenfor 10 cents.

“I would mix colors —golds, greens, blues and soon,” Severin told TheSe-quentialArt.com. “They ne-ver printed quite as vividbecause, remember, inthose days the paper wasalmost a tan to begin with,and if it wasn’t, it wouldturn so in about sixmonths.”

After her brother movedon to Mad magazine andother publications in the1950s, Severin joined AtlasComics, which later be-came Marvel Comics, andwas known at the time forits illustrated horror books.In 1954, a Senate committeeheld hearings on whethercomic books contributed tojuvenile delinquency, andthe industry was forced tocensor itself and cut back onthe freewheeling images ofearlier years.

Severin then worked forthe Federal Reserve Systemas a designer and illustratorbefore rejoining MarvelComics in the late 1950s.

“I was always drawing,but in my early years theydidn’t know me as an artist,just as the colorist whocould touch up stuff and fixlettering,” she told TheSe-quentialArt.com. “When Icame back to Stan (Lee atMarvel Comics), he didn’teven look at my portfolio:‘Oh Marie, it’s so good to seeyou. We need somebody inproduction.’”

But after Severin did anillustration for Esquiremagazine, she began to gainrecognition as an artist. Sheworked on “Dr. Strange”after its creator, Steve Ditko,left Marvel, then was in-strumental in reviving the

“Incredible Hulk” series inthe mid-1960s. Her illustra-tions, and not just her col-ors, came to be featured onthe covers of many Marvelcomic books.

“She basically worked onevery character Marvelhad,” Friedman, a physi-cian, musician and authorwho has written about Sev-erin, said in an interview.

Lee often came into Sev-erin’s office at Marvel’s NewYork headquarters withideas for how he wantedcertain characters to look.She quickly sketched as heposed as if in midpunch orcontorted his face in amenacing grimace.

“No one was able topresent action and move-ment the way she did,”Friedman said. “Basically,her model for a lot of thesecharacters was Stan Lee.”

Marie Anita Severin wasborn Aug. 21, 1929, in EastRockaway, N.Y., and grew upon Long Island and inBrooklyn. Her father de-signed packaging and otherproducts for the ElizabethArden fashion company, andher mother was a homemak-er interested in design.

Severin and her brother,who was seven years olderand died in 2012, often drewtogether at the kitchen ta-ble, and she studied thecomic books he broughthome.

In addition to her workon comic books, Severinworked on special projectsfor Marvel and also helpedillustrated Muppet Babiesand Alf comic books, as wellas tie-in publications for the“Star Wars” film franchise.

She lived for decades onLong Island and retired inher mid-70s. She had noimmediate survivors.

In 2001, she was namedto the Will Eisner Hall ofFame — considered one ofthe highest honors forcomic illustrators — andwon the Icon Award at the2017 Comic-Con gatheringin San Diego.

Severin had a wry senseof humor that she used tobattle and often overcomesexual stereotypes in a fielddominated by men. “Theysay that women gossip,” sheonce said. “Well, network-ing is male gossip, and they‘networked’ all the time.”

Riesenbeck, Sharon ‘Rocky’


Catherine Egan Rauch. Some knew her asCatherine, Kay or Cathy butthose closest to her calledher Neen. Our darling Neenpassed away on September4. She was charming, funny,deeply religious, hardwork-ing, fiercely independent,kind, charitable and loving.If you knew her, you alreadymiss her, and if this is yourintroduction to Neen, you

will wish you had known her. Neen was simply thebest of us. Neen shared so much of herself and yet,still had stories to “spill” in her last few weeks. Shewanted her wits about her till the end, and she gother wish, she remained sharp as a tack. One-linerswere common, just last week when offered a LifeSaver candy she said it “was not working.” Originallya West-side gal at heart, she graduated from OurLady Help of Christians and St. Mary’s H.S., we don’tdare say the years. Neen then started her first andonly job working for Wieboldt’s. She rose throughthe ranks to become the Executive Secretary to theComptroller in the corporate office downtown atState and Madison. Many boast of being indispens-able, but after 48 years on the job, when she retiredWieboldt’s closed its doors forever. Neen was a trav-eler extraordinaire. Whether commuting on the CTAand teaching us how to “use your elbows” to landa prime seat or embarking on one of the first TWAflights, she enjoyed every adventure. Her escapadesincluded being stranded on a NYC subway duringthe 2003 blackout and climbing out of a disabled carin a dark tunnel onto the tracks and up out of theground at age 81! Then there was the Y2K midnight‘L’ adventure downtown to the Hyatt for fireworksand champagne at age 78! When not tempting fate,working, or traveling the world, Neen perfected herblack belt in personal shopping. She loved to dance,bowl, ski and baked a mean nut cup. Neen was anoriginal member and the longest parishioner of OurLady Mother of the Church, was its Women’s Clubtreasurer and a dedicated Minister of Care. For 94of Neen’s 95 years, she lived with her close knitfamily in the typical Chicago 2-flat. Neen was thedaughter of the late Marie (Mahoney) and the lateDenis Egan CPD, sister of the late Eileen Egan, thelate William CPD (the late Marge) Egan and Mickey(the late Jimmy) McGuire. In her mid-40’s Neen mether husband, the late Ed Rauch, at the 400 Ski Cluband just a year into the marriage Ed succumbedto cancer. Neen was another mother to her ninenieces and nephews, Maureen (Ira) Helfgot, Colleen(Tom Clark) McGuire, Dennis McGuire, Jim (Liz)McGuire, Michael (Juvy Granada) McGuire, Emmett(Michele) McGuire, Noreen (Bill) Olker, Kate CPD(Dave ISP) Nanninga and John Patrick Egan CPD. Ourlives would never have been the same without ourglamorous, chic and ever present Neen. Contrary toher concern about being a burden during her recentillness, she continued to be a gift to us all to the end.We were privileged to be at her bedside daily for thepast three months, especially Michael. Neen wasalso a loving and generous Great Aunt to Michael(Alexandra) Helfgot, Neil Helfgot, Ian, Claire andColin McGuire, Maggie McGuire, William NanningaCPD, Margie (Joey) Ignoffo, Johnny Nanninga, Kay(James) Pericht, Annie Nanninga, Loretta Olker,Matthew Olker USAF, and Ellen Olker. Great GrandAunt to Rosie and Nile Ignoffo, Cora Olker and EllieHelfgot, Neen delighted in getting to know the new-est members of her family. Neen’s best friends herwhole life were her sisters, Eileen and Mickey, andher very special cousin Margie Sweeney. Neentouched many lives including many cousins, friendsand neighbors especially Laura, and her devotedcaregivers at Alden, Des Plaines. Recently, whentalking with someone who was complaining aboutturning 65, Neen said that she had done a lot of liv-ing in her 30 years between 65 and 95. It was agreat run! Neen always said she loved everythingabout her life; family, friends and her church. Neenhad no regrets, always saying she had a wonderfullife till her very last breath with all of us. We shouldall be inspired by such grace, accomplishments andcontentment. The name says it all, our Neen wasone of a kind! Family and friends will meet Saturdaymorning at Our Lady Mother of the Church, 8747W. Lawrence, Chicago for visitation from 10:30 amuntil time of Funeral Mass at 11:30 am. Intermentprivate. In lieu of flowers, donations to Our LadyMother of the Church would be appreciated. Forinfo: 773-774-3333

CHICAGO SPORTSChicago’s best sports section, as judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors

Lisa Kintz and her familyarrived at Memorial Stadiumon Saturday in a state ofgiddiness. So eager to witness the first game of theScott Frost era — “a Nebraskahomeboy,” she called him —they left their home inOgallala, Neb., at 8 a.m., 10 hours before kickoff.

Upon driving 275 miles andcrossing time zones fromMountain to Central, theyreached their seats above the25-yard line. It was overcastand humid but nothing allthat worrisome.

“We’ve sat through rain,through sleet, through snowand in 100-degree weather,”Kintz said. “We had ourponchos. We were ready.”

What transpired over thenext three-plus hours wasalmost unprecedented in the129-year history of Nebraskafootball. The only play Kintzand 90,000 of her closestfriends witnessed was anAkron kickoff that went for atouchback.

As freshman quarterbackAdrian Martinez jogged ontothe field at 7:15 p.m., Nebraskaofficial Butch Hug waved hisarms, signaling the presenceof lightning.

“Every time we sawlightning, the crowd wouldmake a noise,” Kintz said.

Long story short, Nebraskais still 0-0. The lightningnever left, causing just thethird cancellation in programhistory.

“Everybody wasdisappointed,” Frost saidTuesday. “The kids wanted toplay. They put in so muchwork over the last ninemonths to get ready for thatnight. It was strange to havethe opening kickoff and thenget the rug pulled from underyou.

When the Bears quarterback arose

for breakfast with his parents, whowere visiting from Ohio, he textedgeneral manager Ryan Pace forclarity on what had caused such aclamor. Pace’s response confirmedthat nobody at Halas Hall shouldsleep better this week than Trubisky,

perhaps the Bears player whobenefits most from Mack’s arrival.

“I was like, ‘Wow, pretty cool,’ ”Trubisky said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

Once reality sets in, Trubisky canembrace how Mack potentially altersthe overall perception of the Bears thisseason. With one bold blockbustertrade, the 2018 Bears changed from ateam overly reliant on the developmentof a quarterback with 12 NFL startsinto a possible playoff contenderriding a defense dominant enough tolet Trubisky progress at a moreappropriate rate.

MILWAUKEE — No one inthe Cubs clubhouse is thinkingmuch about the NationalLeague wild-card race, abyproduct of being alone infirst place since Aug. 1 andhaving the league’s best record.

Besides, it’s really not in thisteam’s nature to look in therear view mirror.

But with the Brewerscreeping up in the CentralDivision and the Cardinalsonly footsteps behind them, itwould be foolish to ignore thepossibility the Cubs might haveto do this the hard way if theydon’t start pulling away.

So who’s paying attention tothe wild card?

And hopefully.I should add “hopefully.” As much glee

as I’ve shown over this bold deal thatchanges this season and the next four orfive, I still must add the caveat “hopefully”because if there’s a team that can blow thisapparent gimme, it’s a Bears bunch that hasfinished in last place for four straight yearsin a league where last-place teams vaultinto first almost every season.

[email protected] @steverosenbloom

The last time the Bears made a move asbig as Khalil Mack, Jay Cutler came to town.

Ooof, yeah, sorry, Bears fans. Sorry to ripopen that scab with a backhoe, but that’sthe first comp that seems to enter theconversation.

The record books say Cutler is the bestquarterback in team history. The videotapesays he’s the most aggravating. His wife’sTV show says “Who caaaaaaaaaaaares?”

Since the Bears acquired Mack from theRaiders on Saturday, the Cutler deal —forking over multiple first-round draftchoices to fill a game-changing position —has popped up in print, online and atdinner like it’s an NFL-licensedWhac-A-Mole game.

Tangent: The NFL ought to move tolicense Whac-A-Mole with CommissionerRoger Goodell’s head popping up andgetting pounded for all the dumb thingsthe idiot, arrogant owners say and do.

And now, back to our regularlyscheduled piece in which I understandwhy some people want to enter the Cutlerdeal as People’s Exhibit A, but I urge you toprevent your knee from jerking and seewhy the Mack move is different.

The Cutler deal was a bet that athree-year player with a strong arm couldgrow into a franchise quarterback for afranchise with a long and ugly history ofproving it is unclear on that concept. Someassembly required.

The Mack deal is about bringing in anundisputed four-year star who was namedthe best player in the league on his side ofthe ball in 2016 and ramming thatestablished game-changer into a gooddefense. Plug and play.

Cutler was surrounded with excuses —bad offensive coordinators, no blockers, adearth of wideouts — although I don’trecall Ron Turner continually gettingintercepted while throwing into doublecoverage. The Cutler narrative was alwaysthat he needed help.

Mack just needs a jersey.The quarterback doesn’t always have to

be a team’s best player, but he must be oneof its top leaders. That demand became soill-fitting that you would think someoneasked Cutler to smile.

In less than a week at Halas Hall,meanwhile, Bears players have sounded sounderstandably awestruck that you wouldthink they just got Mack’s autograph.

Maybe some did, but it’s enough that theynow have him as a teammate and appearhappily to be playing “Follow the leader.”

“It means we’re trying to win,”linebacker Sam Acho said of the stunningtrade for Mack.

No, the Bears always appeared to betrying to win. This move for an All-Propass rusher in his prime without a missedgame in the last four seasons and anaverage of 10 sacks a year shows they mighthave a clue how to accomplish that.

Finally.

Mack deal no comp to CutlerSteve Rosenbloom

The Jay Cutler narrative was that he needed help. Khalil Mack is an undisputed star.

PHIL VELASQUEZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

TOP OF THE SECOND

Once Khalil Mack is upand running, what doyou think the base passrush will look like?Akiem Hicks, Eddie

Goldman, Jonathan Bullard on theline, and Mack isn’t making all thatmoney to drop into coverage. Sodoes this change how LeonardFloyd will be used? @ptpete9

Floyd certainly has the athletic ability tobe able to drop in short zones and helpin coverage. I think we will still seeplenty of Floyd rushing, and that’s the beauty of watching a defenseorchestrated by Vic Fangio. He’s verycreative and you’ll see somethingdifferent week to week. The Bears were forced to blitz defensive backs atdifferent times last season because onoccasion they were short on playerswho could get after the quarterback.They have better personnel this season,and it’s going to be fascinating to seeFangio work with upgraded talent.

The defense, with the additions ofKhalil Mack and Roquan Smith,certainly looks like a potentialtop-five unit, but given the injuryhistory of Bryce Callahan, is itsurprising the Bears cut Cre’VonLeBlanc and kept the mediocreMarcus Cooper? One injury to oneof their top three cornerbacksmeans Cooper plays. @jtbarczak

LeBlanc had an injury of his own with aminor groin issue late in the preseason.My mock prediction of final cuts hadLeBlanc staying and Cooper moving on.I thought Cooper had a pretty roughpreseason, and he had a soft-tissueinjury himself. We’ll see what shakesout in the secondary. I wouldn’t besurprised if the Bears keep an eye on some options, and they also keptundrafted rookie Kevin Toliver. Keep inmind what we’re talking about, though— the third cornerback. When is the lasttime the Bears have been so completeon defense that we’re nitpicking aboutdepth at one position? That’s atestament to the work the team hasdone to build up that side of the ballunder Fangio. We’ll see what it all lookslike Sunday night.

MILWAUKEE — Manager JoeMaddon conceded time is run-ning out for closer BrandonMorrow, who may not be ready toreturn from a right arm injury bythe end of September.

Do the Cubs have to operate asthough they would be lucky to gettheir closer back?

“I think that’s not inaccurate,yeah,” Maddon said Wednesday.“At this point of the year, he hasbeen out for a bit and we’re stillnot on the mound yet.

“This is (Sept. 5) and there are25 more days in the month. It’shard to really get him up to speedbecause you have to talk aboutbuilding arm speed up, seeinghitters, throwing, (getting a) dayoff, throwing again, and just to becautious regarding consecutiveappearances or how manypitches he’s going to throw. Sothere is a lot to consider yet.”

Maddon added there “barely”is enough time to get him back.Morrow has been on the disabledlist with a stress reaction sinceJuly 18, and the Cubs have usedPedro Strop primarily as theircloser since.

Maddon says Morrow contin-ues to make progress, but therestill is no timetable as to when hewill throw off a mound, the firstreal step in a comeback.

Morrow was hoping for amid-September target date,which was a stretch in hindsight.Obviously with the Cubs in a tightdivision race with the Brewersand Cardinals they would preferto have a healthy Morrow.

But would they risk puttinghim on a postseason roster if hecouldn’t pitch in the final 2½months of the regular season?

The Cubs were in a similarsituation in 1998 with starterKerry Wood, who was shut downon Aug. 31 with elbow sorenessand didn’t pitch the rest of theregular season. Despite the 32-day layoff, he got the call forGame 3 of the National LeagueDivision Series against the Bravesand pitched five strong innings inthe loss that eliminated the Cubs.

Wood blew out his elbow in hisfirst spring training outing in1999, had surgery and missed theentire season.

Maddon will continue to mixand match, though he said Strop“definitely has the stuff” to be afull-time closer.

“He has the right kind ofattitude,” Maddon said. “If it’s abad day he’s able to eject it, and ifhe has a great day he just moves italong to the side. I’m a big fan.”

Fresh face: Veteran left-handerJaime Garcia, a converted starterwho was signed to a minor-leaguedeal Aug. 31, was added to thebullpen mix Wednesday. Garciahas two disabled list stints withshoulder inflammation with theBlue Jays. Garcia said he’s avail-able to do anything asked.

If Michael Kopech ever doesanything worthy of legend on thefield, baseball historians will tes-tify about how the pitcher startedhis White Sox career with a raindelay in each of his first threestarts on the mound at Guaran-teed Rate Field.

They will have to debateamong themselves whether hewill be called the Rainmaker orthe Bringer of Rain.

But for now, Kopech’s odds-defying hat trick of rain stoppagesfalls somewhere between eerilycool and incredibly annoying.

At least Wednesday’s 28-min-ute interruption in the bottom ofthe second inning didn’t end hisnight like the first two rain delaysdid.

He may wish it had.The rookie gave up three home

runs in quick succession in thefourth inning, the latter twoback-to-back. Add those to theleadoff home run he coughed upto Jeimer Candelario to open thegame as the right-hander livedand died with putting his fastballin the upper portion of the strikezone.

Kopech wasn’t the only one toblame in the 10-2 loss that offi-cially eliminated the White Soxfrom the AL Central Divisionrace, but he started the down-ward spiral.

Down 5-0 with one out in thefourth inning, Kopech chucked awild pitch that advanced a runnerto third base. When Jim Adducimade him pay for that miscuewith a run-scoring double, Soxmanager Rick Renteria had seenenough. He called in Dylan Coveyand the roughest outing ofKopech’s young career was in thebooks.

Covey gave up a single toNicholas Castellanos that scored

Adduci and tacked a seventhearned run on Kopech’s tab forthe night. Kopech entered thegame with a sparkling 0.82 ERAbut an off night against the Tigershiked it to 5.02. He allowed ninehits and a walk while striking outsix.

Rain fell again at 9:11 p.m. andplay was suspended for a 33minutes. The Sox never reallythreatened Tigers starter JordanZimmerman, Daniel Palka led offthe second with a single, but afterMatt Davidson’s flyout, YoanMoncada ground into an inning-ending double play.

The Sox have keen interest inCaleb Frare’s development as aleft-hander for their bullpen ofthe future, but it was a forgettablethird of an inning for him in thesixth.

He walked Castellanos on fourpitches and gave up a two-runsingle to Victor Martinez beforehe was replaced by Jose Ruiz,another September call-up who’sbeing closely scrutinized.

Ruiz threw a wild pitch andwalked Mikie Mahtook to loadthe bases, but he limited thedamage to James McCann’s RBIsingle before striking out twobatters to end the sixth.

Still, the two relievers com-bined to turn a 7-0 rout into a 10-0pasting.

Injury update: Avisail Garciacould be available to play as soonas Thursday, but White Soxmanager Rick Renteria said theoutfielder’s right knee sorenessmight bother him the rest of theseason.

“Avi’s doing better,” Renteriasaid. “It’s basically a situationwhere the more comfortable he isgoing out there (the more) we’lluse him. But he’s being reevalu-ated.

“It’s just a matter of him beingable to manage maybe some ofthe discomfort that comes withhis knee.

“But hopefully you’ll see himback in there in the next day or so.I’ll keep talking to him and seewhere he’s at.”

Garcia has landed on the disa-bled list twice this season becauseof a strained right hamstring, andhis knee also has given himproblems.

With little to play for in Sep-tember except developing youngtalent, Renteria considered thepossibility of shutting down Gar-cia.

“I think we have to do (so) or Ihave to just manage getting himin there, getting him at bats,allowing him to play,” Renteriasaid. “I’ll have to be the one whoputs the stop on him so he cansurvive it and get through it.”

NUCCIO DINUZZO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE PHOTOS

You see it. It’s impossible to avoidwith all the coverage. The Brew-ers are ahead (in the wild-cardrace), but there are like nineteams in it. I know the Brewersand Cardinals are playing goodbaseball. It’s going to be a funfinish. It’s exciting, and as a base-ball fan that’s what you shouldwant.”

The best way for the Cubs toavoid the gridlock of the wild-card contenders was to salvagethe series finale at Miller Park,giving them a four-game leadwith 23 to play. They did just thatWednesday night, shot-gunningpast the Brewers 6-4 before37,427 at Miller Park.

It was an important victory forthe Cubs, who may have createdwidespread panic if they hadbeen swept.

“It was like a playoff game,”Javier Baez said. “To lose thisseries yesterday and come backand play hard again and get thiswin, it’s huge, because in ourdivision it’s really close.”

Coming off Tuesday’s 11-1 loss,this was as close to a must-wingame as the Cubs have playedthis season. It was scorelessentering the fourth when DanielMurphy homered off JhoulysChacin to ignite a four-run in-ning and give Quintana somebreathing room.

After Murphy’s shot, Baez didwhat Baez does best — createhavoc and getting into the oppo-nent’s head. Strangely, he man-aged to do it Wednesday whilestanding perfectly still.

After Baez singled, Chacinmade two pick-off throws to firstbase, despite the fact Baez wasstanding on the bag and didn’tmove an inch either time.

“They know I want to run, andright before ‘Riz’ stepped up tothe plate, I was watching thecatcher and he wasn’t givingsigns so I knew (the throw) wascoming back,” Baez said. “Thenafter the first one I looked at himagain and he looked like he wasgiving signs, but I saw him (be-ing) so fake about it, so I juststayed there.”

Then when Rizzo singled tocenter, Baez never stopped whilerounding second, forcing Lo-renzo Cain to make an errantthrow that sailed high over third,allowing Baez to scamper homewithout a play.

“They know I’m not afraid totake another bag, so when Ispeed up like that it makes themhurry,” Baez said.

“We’ve seen that before,”manager Joe Maddon said.“That’s who he is. He makesthings happen on the bases. He’sfearless.”

Another error y shortstopOrlando Arcia sent Rizzo tothird, and the Cubs added twomore runs on Ben Zobrist’s RBIdouble and a run-scoring infieldhit from Willson Contreras.

Quintana endured a hairybottom of the fourth but allowedonly one run while strandingthree runners. He wound upgoing 6 2/3 innings, allowing tworuns on five hits and leaving witha 6-2 lead. Quintana now hasgiven up two or fewer earnedruns in his last four starts, givingthe Cubs four consistent startersfor the stretch run.

Kyle Schwarber told Maddonhe had back tightness beforestepping up in the sixth, butproceeded to hit a massiveSchwarbomb to right beforecoming out of the game. He'sday-to-day, Maddon said.

The Brewers pulled to withintwo on a two-run homer by Cur-tis Granderson in the seventh,but Pedro Strop survived a scaryninth, stranding two runners bystriking out Granderson to end it.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Angelstwo-way star Shohei Ohtani hasnew damage in his pitchingelbow and the team says TommyJohn surgery has been recom-mended.

The Angels said Ohtani had anMRI on Wednesday in Texas thatrevealed the problem in his rightulnar collateral ligament.

“There’s more questions rightnow than answers. We’ll take itone step at a time,” manager MikeScioscia said. “There’s a lot ofconsulting that Shohei will dowith doctors and just see whatthe best course of action is, and

Eppler said. “But I do feeldisappointment for the people inthat clubhouse, and primarilyShohei.”

The latest development hasbeen dreaded by the Angels andOhtani’s millions of fans since hewas diagnosed with a sprainedUCL following a start June 6.After receiving a platelet-richplasma injection and an injectionof stem cells, Ohtani was hittingagain in early July, and hereturned to the mound with hisstart Sunday at Houston.

Ohtani lasted only 21⁄3 inningsin that start against the Astros,and he had a drastic drop invelocity during the game.

we’ll see where we are.” Then just hours after the

ominous news, the 24-year-oldrookie went 4-for-4, hit twohome runs, drove in three andwalked as the DH in the Angels’9-3 win over the Rangers.

Angels general manager BillyEppler said Ohtani hasn’t for-mally decided to have TommyJohn surgery.

Eppler and Ohtani plan to havean in-depth conversation abouthis future Monday after theAngels return from their roadtrip.

“We committed to each otherin this process, and we will getthrough it together as a team,”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

You want to know aboutJeremy Larkin, who rushedfor 143 yards and two scoresin Northwestern’s Week 1victory at Purdue?

You want to know aboutthe smallish, understatedLarkin, a distant relative ofBaseball Hall of Famer BarryLarkin, a player so adept atmasquerading as an optionquarterback that analystKirk Herbstreit called him,“My man, Larkin!” duringthe telecast ESPN telecast?

If so, you start with JustinJackson, the greatest run-ning back in NU history andLarkin’s mentor the pasttwo seasons.

Here’s what Jacksontexted: “Yeah, Lark is special,man. From early on I couldsee he wanted to be great andwas looking for ways toachieve that goal. You cansee the competitiveness inhis eyes whenever he stepson the field. I think he’sgonna be a surefire NFLback if he just keeps on thepath he’s on. Overall a greatperson and I’m really glad tocall him a good friend.”

Here’s some context.Jackson texted that Sundaynight, shortly after learninghe had been cut by theChargers, who drafted himin the seventh round. (Theysigned him to their practicesquad Tuesday.) Jackson re-ceived the inquiry andreplied two minutes later.Says something about him.And Larkin.

Here are five things toknow about Larkin:

He is pigeon-toed.Always has been. “I think

it’s gotten worse over theyears because of the way Istand sometimes,” he said.“My feet cross.”

Michael Jordan is said tobe pigeon-toed. AndreAgassi too. Larkin’s father,Jeff Larkin Sr., recom-mended his son wear No. 21

as a kid in honor of Domi-nique Wilkins, whose feetalso turn inward.

NU coach Pat Fitzgeraldsaid he thinks it helpsLarkin keep his balance,adding: “I don’t think any-one in the room can do whathe can do, turn his feetsideways. It’s pretty cool.”

Larkin also enjoys thenovelty, saying: “I think ithelps me a little with mak-ing cuts and gives me anadvantage going laterally.”

The NU strength staffnicknamed him “Pidgy.”

He was under-recruited.Larkin was the highest-

rated player in the Wildcats’2016 class (457th nationallyvia the 247Sports.com com-posite) but received noother Big Ten offers.

“I think it’s because Iwasn’t willing to play otherpositions,” Larkin said.“Schools asked: Will youplay slot (receiver)? DB? Iwanted the ball. But at thetime I was 5-9 or 5-10 andweighed 170 pounds. That’snot a Big Ten running backby traditional standards.”

Larkin is the classicWildcat — a 3-star recruitwho has developed into a4-star player.

“We don’t care aboutstars,” Fitzgerald said. “(Ourrecruiting interest) hasnothing to do with what youdo in high school. It’s whatyou are going to become. Alot of that has to do withwork ethic, and Lark hasworked his tail off. We gavethe guys the night off lastFriday. I’m giving someonea tour of the facility, and he’sin the film room watchingtape. He is that kind of guy.”

He verbally committed to his hometown Cincinnati Bearcats.

Larkin starred at La SalleHigh School (76 touch-downs, six in a single playoff

game), with the CincinnatiEnquirer labeling him “theAll-America kid” in a head-line.

Cincinnati recruiterswowed him, he said, and heenvisioned the “hometown-hero type of thing.”

“I had to take a step backand look at not just now butwhere the program wasgoing,” he said. “(CoachTommy) Tuberville wasn’tlooking too good to get anextension. Fitz is probablyhere till the day I die.”

He committed to Cincin-nati in June 2015 butchanged his mind in the fall,texting NU assistant coachMatt MacPherson to ask ifthe Wildcats had a spot forhim if he got admitted.Larkin said he did not“re-open” his recruitment,per se. It was Cincinnati orNorthwestern. NU said yes.

He’s goofy.That’s what NU defensive

tackle Jordan Thompsonsays. And they’ve beenfriends since the ninth grade.

“We have a lot of insidejokes,” Thompson said. “Buthe knows when it’s time tobe serious and when to goofoff.

“If you ask him, he’llprobably tell you a story ofrunning me over (in highschool practice), which ne-ver happened. If you’re ask-ing me, I’ll tell you a story ofbeating him in a race.”

Replied Larkin: “If hebeat me in a footrace, Idefinitely ran him over. If Istill had my Hudl (high-

lights) account, I’d pull it upfor you and show you.”

His mentor is a guidinglight.

Larkin read Jackson’s textand called it “breathtaking.”

Jackson sent a congratu-latory text to Larkin after hecarved up Purdue. Larkinreplied with a word ofthanks and asked, “Nowhow do I do it again?”

Jackson did it every Sat-urday, essentially, for fourseasons. He ranks third inBig Ten history with 5,440rushing yards. Asked whathe learned from Jackson,Larkin replied: “Oh, man.How he approached everysingle day coming to work.How he never missed agame. To see some of thosebattles, the preparation,making it to next Saturday.”

Asked if they were morefriends or competitors dur-ing their two-year overlapin Evanston, Larkin chuck-led: “Good friends. There isno competing with that guy.In offseason workouts, Itried to keep up with himand push him as much aspossible.”

Larkin and teammatesJesse Brown and TylerGillikin took over the apart-ment where Jackson livedwith Matt Alviti and MacanWilson. Larkin joked abouttrying to be just like Jackson.

“He left a couple of thingsbehind, some jackets, a Chi-cago Cubs poster,” Larkinsaid. “We find randomJustin Jackson memorabiliasometimes.”

Jeremy Larkin rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns

against Purdue in his first game replacing Justin Jackson.

NU’s new goofy,pigeon-toed RBBy Teddy Greenstein | Chicago Tribune

“I was proud of thekids for how they handledit. They were in the lockerroom saying we shouldmove the game to ourindoor facility. Thatwould have been epic.”

The Omaha World-Herald reported thatNebraska and Big Tenofficials wanted to resumeplay at 10:30 a.m. Sunday.They even looked intohousing Akron players incampus dorms overnight.

But Akron declined,citing a 2 a.m. charterflight home. The Zipsmight forfeit some of the$1.17 million they were setto receive from Nebraska.

Akron could be outsome money; Nebraskacould be outta luck.

Teams generally needsix wins to make a bowlgame, and a postseasonberth means extra prac-tice time, which Frostwould crave in his firstfull offseason.

Frost said he might tryto use his team’s Oct. 27open date to get a 12thgame — or find an oppo-nent to visit Lincoln theweekend of the Big Tentitle game, assuming theCornhuskers aren’t in it.

“If they give us anoption to fill that game insomewhere,” Frost said,“we’re going to take it.”

Frost used some darkhumor at the start ofTuesday’s Big Ten tele-conference, saying he didnot need to open with astatement: “Let’s gostraight to questions. Idon’t have much to talkabout.”

A handful of FBS teamsalready have played twice.Nebraska will have first-game jitters when it takesthe field at 2:30 p.m. Sat-urday against Colorado,which hammered Col-orado State 45-13. Theforecast from weather-.com: “Showers in themorning with some clear-ing in the afternoon.”

“We’ll make the best of

it,” Frost said. “There areprobably some little ad-vantages.They haven’tseen us on tape and don’tknow as much about ourpersonnel. But coacheswill say the biggest im-provement of the yearcomes between Game 1and Game 2. They willhave the benefit of thatand we won’t.”

Also not benefitingfrom the change: LisaKintz.

She is a tremendouslydevoted fan, with a“Husker room” in herhome stuffed with hel-met, hats, mugs, signs,lamps, balls, caps andWheaties boxes. Shedoesn’t have season tick-ets, relying on the kind-ness of friends who do.She normally goes to anearly-season game tocelebrate her Sept. 7birthday.

“I get goose bumpsevery time I’m there,” shesaid of Memorial Sta-dium.

She still had fun Sat-urday night, eating pizzaand singing in the rain.The entire stadiumrocked to “Don’t StopBelievin’ ” and turnedtheir phones into flash-lights while the PA playedToto’s “Africa.”

Dwyane Wade andwife/Nebraska alumnaGabrielle Union brought aHollywood vibe to thesideline, posting a video.

Wade: “Baby, tell themwhere we at.”

Union: “MemorialStadium, baby. … Sea ofred! It’s the Scott Frostera. We’re coming back,baby.”

Kintz will make it backthis season. She’s just notsure when.

And she wasn’t aboutto complain about drivingeight hours for the pleas-ure of seeing a singlekickoff.

“Things happen in life,”she said.

NFL

Trubisky still holds thekey to how quickly theBears can reintroduce thewords “Super Bowl” intothe local football lexicon.But trading for Mack in-creased Trubisky’s marginfor error and allowed forthe possibility of the 24-year-old struggling on anygiven Sunday and theBears still winning. Addinga former NFL defensiveplayer of the year capableof controlling games withquarterback sacks or hur-ries eases the burden onTrubisky and, while noteliminating the pressureon him, reduces it consid-erably.

The Bears now cansurvive a 175-yard, two-interception clunker fromTrubisky more easily thanbefore Mack arrived. Theycan win grind-it-outgames because of defenseand field position andturnovers the way theyused to during the LovieSmith era, at least until anew offense starts clickingand a young quarterbackcomes of age. They canmake a run at respectabili-ty without Trubisky hav-ing to be the most impor-tant player on the fieldevery time the Bears steponto it.

The layers of scrutinyexpected weekly fromlocal fans and media be-fore Mack became a Bearthreatened to suffocateTrubisky, even if nobody at1920 Football Drive everwould admit it. The hypemachine already had over-heated. Remember, thiswas an unproven quarter-back the team-sponsoredpreseason game telecastlast month compared toHall of Famer Steve Young— after 12 so-so starts lastyear.

In guaranteeing Mack

$90 million, the Bearseffectively also boughtthemselves some time forTrubisky to grow and alittle room for him tobreathe. A defense nowformidable enough tofinish among the top fivein the league because ofMack permits everyone toshow more patience for aquarterback who threw asmany interceptions astouchdowns as a rookie —seven — and completedonly 59 percent of hispasses. Nothing aboutTrubisky’s numbers justi-fied preseason expecta-tions for him that no long-er have to be enormous,not on a defense-driventeam that needs itsquarterback to be moregate-keeper than gateattraction until he looksready for a bigger role.

“If anything, it takespressure off us,” Trubiskyacknowledged about theMack trade. “There’s goingto be a lot of it. There’sgoing to be a little of it ifyou mention it. But I don’t.I know (Mack) is a greatplayer and he’s going tohelp this team. But I’m notgoing to throw to him. He’snot going to score touch-downs. So that ultimatelyfalls on us.”

Added coach MattNagy: “It’s not going tochange how Mitchellplays. He’s worried abouthimself and how he con-trols that offense.”

Nagy faces a trickybalancing act with thatnew offense: Stay as ag-gressive as advertisedsince the day he was hiredwithout rushing Trubiskyto do too much too soon.He still can call unconven-tional plays, go for it onfourth down and intro-duce as many differentformations and routecombinations as hewishes. He can channel his

inner Andy Reid. But if theBears indeed believe theirMack-led defense legiti-mately brings them closerto being a 10-win teamflirting with the playoffs,efficiency from Trubiskycould matter as much asexplosiveness.

“With us it doesn’tmatter,” Nagy claimed.“It’s how the game is go-ing. Whether we have thebest defense in the leagueor the worst, offensively,we’re always going to dowhat we do.”

That sounds like theright, rote answer for anoffensive-minded rookiehead coach still relying onthe element of surpriseSunday night at LambeauField. That will seemmuch less cool and caval-ier the first time suchaggressiveness results in

Nagy’s Bears blowing afourth-quarter lead be-cause they insisted onthrowing downfield in-stead of milking the clock.There is nothing particu-larly innovative aboutrepeatedly handing off torunning back Jordan How-ard but, if keeping the ballon the ground helps grindout a 13-9 victory over anopponent overwhelmed bythe Bears defense, sub-stance will outweigh con-cerns over style.

With Mack completingthe defense, the Bears canaccomplish more thisseason by needing Tru-bisky to do less.

That’s worth waking upfor, Chicago.

Mitch Trubisky loves having Khalil Mack but says: “He’s

not going to score touchdowns. So that ... falls on us.”


Seahawks rookieShaquem Griffin will startat weakside linebacker toopen the regular seasonSunday against the Broncosin Denver.

Starter K.J. Wright is stillrecovering from minor kneesurgery, and coach PeteCarroll said Wednesdaythat the earliest he wouldreturn is Week 2 against theBears.

Griffin, who had his lefthand amputated as a child,became one of the big sto-ries of the NFL offseasonwith his performance at thescouting combine. The Sea-hawks drafted the formerUCF star in the fifth round.

Griffin will play along-side his brother Shaquill,the starting left cornerbackfor the Seahawks.

Bell holdout takes toll:

Le’Veon Bell’s Steelersteammates spent the off-season and all of trainingcamp brushing off his ab-sence, confident in theirbelief that the All-Pro run-ning back would eventuallylet the business side ofthings play out, sign hisfranchise tender and be atwork when things got real.

He’ll show up when itmatters, they said. We’renot worried, they said.

Time to worry. And vent. Bell’s chair remained

tucked neatly into his lockeron Wednesday, meaning hewill almost certainly not beavailable when the Steelersopen the season Sunday inCleveland.

“Honestly it’s a little self-ish,” said center MaurkicePouncey, a captain who hadpredicted Bell would arriveby Wednesday. “I’m kind of(ticked) right now. It sucksthat he’s not here. We’llmove on as a team. Itdoesn’t look like he’ll be in

the game plan at this point.” “What do you do?” guard

Ramon Foster said. “Here’sa guy who doesn’t give adamn, so I guess we’ll treatit as such. I just hate it cameto this.”

Bell made over $12 mil-lion last season and is due$14.5 million this season ifhe signs his one-year tenderby the weekend and theSteelers opt not to ask for atwo-week roster exemp-tion. He will lose about$850,000 for each game hemisses.

Extra points: Seahawks SEarl Thomas ended hisholdout in time for the startof the regular season, evenwithout the long-term con-tract he was seeking. CoachPete Carroll met brieflywith Thomas but wouldn’tcommit to whether Thomaswould play in the openerSunday. ... Chiefs S EricBerry is day to day with aheel injury that has kepthim out most of trainingcamp, and his status forSunday’s opener against theChargers remains in ques-tion. Berry missed most oflast season after rupturinghis Achilles tendon in theopener. ... A person familiarwith the situation said theSaints waived rookie RBBoston Scott in response tothe re-signing of OLMichael Ola.

IN BRIEF

NEW YORK — RafaelNadal began his U.S. Openquarterfinal as poorly aspossible, shut out in a set bya 6-0 score for only thefourth time in 282 careerGrand Slam matches.

On the previous three,he’d lost. On this one, he managed to come backto win, although it took 4 hours, 49 minutes andnever did get easy for him.

The defending champi-on and No. 1 seed at Flush-ing Meadows recoveredfrom his disastrous startand other stumbles alongthe way to beat No. 9Dominic Thiem 0-6, 6-4,7-5, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5) for asemifinal berth at a thirdconsecutive Grand Slamtournament, winning aphysical, back-and-forthtussle that concluded after 2 a.m. on Wednesday.

“Very demanding, in allaspects,” said Nadal, whowill face 2009 championJuan Martin del Potro onFriday for a berth in thefinal. “A question of a littlebit of luck at the end.”

How tense and tight wasit? Not only was Nadal twopoints from losing at 5-all

in the closing tiebreaker,but he finished with fewertotal points, 171-166.

“It’s cruel, sometimes,tennis,” Thiem said, callingthe loss “the first reallyepic match I’ve played.”

When it ended, every-one in Nadal’s guest box —a group that included actorBen Stiller — leaped totheir feet to celebrate.Nadal climbed over the netto hug his opponent , thenwhisper an apology andwords of encouragement.

“I’m very sorry for Dom-inic,” Nadal said. “He’s aclose friend on tour. He’s agreat guy. A great player.”

1. Eagles: QB Nick Foles will get achance to follow his MVP performancein Super Bowl LII on Thursday nightagainst the Falcons.

2. Rams: QB Jared Goff didn’t doanything in the preseason, but thisteam might not have to score a lotwith DT Aaron Donald back.

3. Vikings: If QB Kirk Cousinsprovides a boost and RB Dalvin Cookcomes all the way back from a kneeinjury, they’re in good shape.

4. Patriots: It will be interesting tosee how Tom Brady distributes theball with questions at receiver, but it’sBrady, and the Pats usually find a way.

5. Saints: If pass rusher MarcusDavenport can have the type ofimpact the Saints’ 2017 draft class did,this will be a dangerous team.

8. Steelers: It will be interesting tosee if James Conner starts at runningback with Le’Veon Bell still holdingout.

9. Texans: QB DeShaun Watson waselectric before his injury as a rookie.But the Texans draw a tough openingassignment in New England.

10. Packers: The Packers ought tofind out quickly where they stack upin the division. They host the Bearsand Vikings in the first two weeks.

11. Chargers:There’s a lot ofexcitement for this team based on itsdefense, the presence of QB PhilipRivers and a division that is down.

12. Titans: They won a wild-cardgame and still rebooted with coachMike Vrabel. It will be interesting tosee how this comes together.

13. Bears: OLB Khalil Mack’s arrivalelevates this team after an offseasondevoted to completely overhaulingthe offense for new coach Matt Nagy.

14. Chiefs:The offense looks ready tosoar again with second-year QBPatrick Mahomes. They might needto win a bunch of high-scoring games.

15. 49ers: They were a different teamafter Jimmy Garoppolo took over atquarterback. Can Alfred Morris be alead back anymore?

27. Colts: A healthy QB Andrew Luckhas to make them more competitive.

30. Jets: The Sam Darnold era begins.

31. Raiders: It’s a long play for JonGruden in Oakland (really Las Vegas),and those Khalil Mack draft picksfrom the Bears won’t help this season.

As Khalil Mack Week continues inChicago, with some September scintilla-tion producing playoff dreams, one notableperson has been far too busy to get a feel forthe hype that exploded last weekend.

That person? Khalil Mack.For now, the defensive force who soon

will be expected to propel a last-place teamtoward the playoffs, is just a 27-year-oldtransplant, living in a suburban hotel andgetting used to a new job in a new placewith new co-workers.

Mack also has real-life chores to tend to.“I flew in from New York (last weekend),”he said. “So I’ve got to make sure I get mesome socks and drawers.”

Of course. The basics.“Y’all got a Whole Foods or something

around here?” Mack asked a little later. “Ora Walmart? I don’t even know where thegrocery store is yet.”

On Sunday, a day after the Bearsacquired Mack in a trade that opened eyesacross the NFL, the All-Pro admitted hishead was spinning. Asked Wednesdayafternoon whether that whirlwind hadsubsided any, Mack shook his head.

“Nah, man,” he said. “It’s still movingpretty fast.”

And as Mack politely glided through asix-minute interview session in the lockerroom, he further made it clear he hadbigger boxes on his to-do list to check. Likefinding permanent housing.

“I’m trying to get on the phone with myfinancial adviser,” he said, “to see what Ican afford.”

(Simple answer to that one, Khalil: All ofit.)

The Bears understand that their newestand best player is in the middle of a hecticacclimation process, both off the field andon. For this week’s purposes, coach MattNagy and defensive coordinator Vic Fangiomust come up with a realistic plan for howto use Mack on Sunday night against thePackers.

They’ll have to keep in mind thatMonday at Halas Hall marked Mack’s firsttrue practice since December. They’ll haveto get a feel for the outside linebacker’sconditioning. They’ll have to gauge howmuch of the defense Mack has absorbed.

In short, the Bears will push to getimmediate production from Mack whiletrying not to rush things.

Mack has already struck up a quickfriendship with outside linebackers coachBrandon Staley, working to understand thebasics of his responsibilities.

“He’s like my after-school tutor rightnow,” Mack said. “We’re going at it everyday.”

And as hard as Mack is working to get upto speed, he’s also forcing the Packers tointensify their preparations. Both AaronRodgers and Mike McCarthy acknowl-edged Wednesday that Mack’s suddenarrival in Chicago has given them more tothink about in Week 1.

Said McCarthy: “Number one, you justlook at his physical gifts. But what I reallyappreciate about his game is his motor. Ithink he’s an excellent fit for Chicago’sdefense.

“I think one of their strengths is theirsecond and third reaction and the way theyrally to the ball.”

Even with all that’s coming at him thisweek, even with all the loose ends in hisfootball world and personal life, Mack haspromised to give the Bears everything hehas.

Last weekend, upon arriving in LakeForest and signing a mega-extension thatguaranteed him $90 million, he expressedgreat fulfillment in feeling “wanted.” Thereception he has received this week fromcoaches and teammates has only re-inforced that feeling.

Mack hopes to reciprocate by makinghis impact felt in Green Bay.

After his lengthy holdout with theRaiders, just getting back on the field thisweek has re-energized him.

“Oh, man. That’s what I do, man. That’swhat I love,” Mack said. “That’s everythingright now, getting back into the groove andpracticing. I love the grind. And that’s whatthe feeling is right now.”

Still, if Mack can settle in enough toproduce a season-opening upset of thePackers, he’ll understand a little better thefeelings of excitement he has producedacross the city.

On Mack’s list:Getting homeBy Dan Wiederer | Chicago Tribune “I’m trying to get

Bears outside linebackerLeonard Floyd said he’s in fullpreparation mode for Sunday’sgame against the Packers despitehis fractured right hand.

Floyd’s task this week is grow-ing accustomed to playing with aclub cast on the hand, but he hasa reference point for what he’sfacing. In 2013 as a freshman atGeorgia, Floyd fractured his lefthand and played with a club cast.

“It’s a difference, like if I’mtrying to reach and grab for atackle,” Floyd said. “I’ve reallyjust got to find a way to make thetackle.

“It really doesn’t changemuch. It’s still like using yourhands. You’ve just got one of yourhands in the club. … Other thanthat, it’s all just playing football.”

Floyd didn’t give a timetablefor how long he’d wear the cast.

He and rookie inside lineback-er Roquan Smith, who has dealtwith left hamstring tightness forthree weeks, practiced in fullWednesday at Halas Hall. In fact,the Bears listed only two playerson their injury report: safetyDeAndre Houston-Carson, whodidn’t practice because of abroken forearm and a backinjury, and tight end DanielBrown, who was limited with ashoulder injury.

Smith was a little vaguer thanFloyd about whether and howmuch he might play Sunday.

He said his hamstring injurywas “never anything too crazy …just some tightness and stuff,”but he added that his leg feelslooser. He said he trusts Bearscoach Matt Nagy and the train-ing staff to make the rightdecision about his playing time.

“It feels fine,” Smith saidbefore practice. “I’ve just beenlimited, and trusting those guyson what percentage of stuff theywant me to go at, and how manyreps and stuff.”

Even if he’s still trying to getfully physically ready, Smith saidhe mentally has a good grasp onthe playbook.

“It’s very similar to what I’vedone at Georgia, so it was just theterminology,” Smith said. “I feelvery comfortable that I have allthat, really.”

Both players said they wereproperly excited about the Bearsacquiring outside linebackerKhalil Mack over the weekend,and Floyd said he thinks havingMack on board can help him inmultiple ways.

“Just being around him, beingable to see how he rushes everyday, seeing the moves he tries toset up every day,” Floyd said.“Just having him in the roombeing close to him, you can reallyget an up-close and personalview of how he’s such a greatplayer.”

View from Green Bay: Packerscoach Mike McCarthy said on aconference call with reportersWednesday that he expects tosee an improved Mitch Trubiskythis year.

Trubisky faced the Packersjust once last year, completing 21of 35 passes for 297 yards, atouchdown and five sacks in a23-16 Bears loss in November.

“You could see his growththroughout the season, andthat’s what you look for in allyoung players, especially at thequarterback position,” McCar-thy said. “He has excellent com-mand of the offense, he knowswhere he wants to go with thefootball and Year 2 we expecthim to be significantly better.”

Packers quarterback AaronRodgers said he didn’t see toomuch of Trubisky last seasonbecause he was focused onrecovering from his brokencollarbone the latter part of theyear. But he said Trubisky willface distinct challenges in goingfrom his first to second year as astarter.

“You just have to realize itgives teams an entire offseasonto study it,” Rodgers said. “(I)spent a lot of time on fundamen-tals and the little things thatcould take me from a guy whohad a decent year to my secondyear making the Pro Bowl andhad a better year.

“It was really due to scrutiniz-ing myself a lot and trying tofocus on the things I didn’t do aswell as I did the previous year,improve on those, knowing theother teams had a lot more filmon me out there now.”

eNEWSPAPER BONUS COVERAGE

GENEVA — Soccer’s newest competitionkicks off this week in Europe with fewknowing all the details of a complex format.

The UEFA Nations League certainly willget off to a good start: Germany hosts WorldCup champion France on Thursday, Englandfaces Spain on Saturday, Portugal plays Italyon Monday and Spain takes on Croatia onTuesday.

In simple terms, the competition involvesall 55 European national teams, playing insmall groups and separated into four tiersusing promotion and relegation, and producesa champion at a mini-tournament next June.

It will also award at least one place at the2020 European Championship to one of thelowest-ranked teams on the continent.

Because of the Nations League, traditionalqualifying for Euro 2020 will start in Marchinstead of the usual September following aWorld Cup.

UEFA believes all its member federationsare getting something they like. Top-rankednations want to play each other; the middleteams want winnable competitive games;low-ranked nations want hope of reachingmajor tournaments.

The North American soccer region now hasits own version, while UEFA also designed aglobal version for about 220 teams whichFIFA already has plans to adopt.

What is Nations League? A group stageinvolving 55 teams playing in four levels —Leagues A, B, C and D — from this week untilNovember; a Final Four mini-tournament inJune 2019 for the group winners of League A;playoffs in March 2020 in all four tiers to fillthe last four Euro 2020 qualifying places.

The last detail is the incentive for Europeansoccer’s smaller teams.

At least one League D team — possiblyAzerbaijan, Belarus or Luxembourg, forinstance — will qualify for Euro 2020.

Why create it? Few people seemed to likeinternational friendlies which “really don’tinterest anybody,” then-UEFA presidentMichel Platini said when launching theNations League in March 2014.

Plus, the biennial format should be good forbusiness.

“These matches are relevant for everysingle market so you optimize in eachmarket,” UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein has said.

UEFA hopes promotion of group winnersand relegation of last-place teams up anddown the four Nations League tiers will keepit dynamic.

Group stage, final four: Groups of three orfour teams play home and away on the usualnational-team match dates protected by FIFA.

Teams in the top-two tiers — League A andB, each with four groups of three nations —still have dates free for friendlies againstteams like Brazil and Argentina.

Lower-ranked teams are all booked up inthe four-team groups of Leagues C and D.

The four group winners from League Aadvance to a Final Four to decide the NationsLeague champion.

The semifinals, third-place game and finalwill be played in one nation from June 5-9.The host will be the winner of the Italy-Poland-Portugal group.

Euro ’20 qualifying: The Nations Leaguepushes back Euro 2020 qualifying into 2019,and affects the 10 groups to be drawn on Dec.2 in Dublin.

Top-tier teams going to the Final Four mustbe in one of the five smaller groups of fiveteams. That clears their June schedule for themini-tournament.

The other five Euro 2020 qualifying groupshave six teams, using all the FIFA dates to play10 games from next March through Novem-ber.

The top two teams in each qualifying groupautomatically advance to Euro 2020. Theremaining four places in the 24-team lineupwill be decided in Nations League playoffs.

Euro ’20 final four: In March 2020, eachNations League tier will have a four-teamplayoff bracket with the winner advancing toEuro 2020.

Playoffs will be for teams that failed to earna direct Euro 2020 entry through thequalifying groups. Playoff entries will go toNations League group winners, or teams withthe next-best record.

The League A playoffs could be filled byLeague B teams because most top-tier teamswill advance through the traditional qualify-ing format.

The Euro 2020 draw will be in April, just afew weeks before the tournament begins inRome.

Potential losers: Top European clubs wholiked to keep star players out of national teamsquads for friendlies are not delighted withextra competitive games on the calendar.

Even if national teams are not desperate towin the Nations League, the threat ofrelegation should mean strong teams arefielded.

Brazil, Argentina and other non-Europeannations also have fewer options for lucrativefriendlies, especially in 2019.

Soccer’s newcompetitionto kick offComplex format adds intrigueto inaugural European event

By Graham DunbarAssociated Press

Alex Smith doesn’t believe in assignedseats.

As he tried to get to know his newRedskins teammates, Smith sat in adifferent seat for each meeting.

Defensive line coach Jim Tomsulaknew that from his time with Smith inSan Francisco, and running back ChrisThompson beamed, “That’s a trait fromyour quarterback that you like to see.”

It’s a concerted effort by Smith to fit inwith the guys, something he did quicklyafter taking over as the Redskins’ fran-chise quarterback.

Be it his personality, his depth of NFLexperience or the long-term contractthat previous starter Kirk Cousins neverhad in Washington, Smith has alreadyassumed the place of unquestionedleader and made players sense anentirely different vibe around the team.

“(It’s about) putting yourself outthere, being real and nothing fake,nothing phony but getting to know theguys, letting your guard down,” Smithsaid. “I’m more conscious of it as I’vegotten older about that, about theresponsibility as a teammate, being agood teammate.”

No one around the Redskins is callingCousins a bad teammate, and team brassis reluctant to compare him and Smithon or off the field.

But ever since Smith took the field inpractice in burgundy and gold, he hasbeen the subject of glowing praise abouthis ability to lead.

“He’s always been a leader,” left tackleTrent Williams said. “You could tell he’scomfortable in that role. He’s what weneeded.”

A series of one-year contracts madeCousins unwilling or unable to fully fillthat void. After signing a guaranteed $84million, three-year deal with the Vikings,

Cousins felt he finally had a “license tolead” that was never there with theRedskins, who took him in the samedraft as Robert Griffin III, made himcompete for the starting job and neveragreed to a long-term contract.

The Redskins not only acquired Smithfrom the Chiefs but signed him to a $94million, four-year extension with $71million guaranteed and put the pressureon him to get back to the playoffs for thefirst time since the 2015 season. That’s asmuch as license to lead as anything, butthe 34-year-old brushed off the trap-pings of that kind of security.

“All you’re guaranteed is a year at atime here and even game by game,”Smith said. “I appreciate so much theopportunity I have today and right infront of me and I’m not really thinkingpast that. Contract, all this and that, I’mnot feeling any kind of comfort in that.No. I’ve got a huge sense of urgency to goout there and to go right now, to go today.I’m not waiting on anything. So it doesn’tchange my approach at all.”

It’s that approach that quickly wonSmith the respect of teammates, whospent the opening days of training camptalking about things feeling “different”this year.

This was a team with Jay Grudenentering his fifth season as coach withalmost the same core of players except atthe most important position.

“We got a lot of leaders on this team,especially with your quarterback,” safetyD.J. Swearinger said. “When you get aguy like Alex Smith in here, a lot changes.He’s changed the leadership of how theoffense approaches (the game). Whenthey break the huddle, it’s a differentbounce. It’s a different way he comes onthe line and commands the offense.”

That’s what senior vice president ofplayer personnel and retired QB DougWilliams thought the Redskins weregetting in Smith, who is coming off aseason in which he set career highs with4,042 yards passing and 26 touchdowns.Cousins threw for 4,000 yards the lastthree seasons, but the Redskins wanted along-term answer and found it in Smith.

“What we’ve seen since he’s been hereis everything that we thought, that Jim(Tomsula) was talking about, from aleadership standpoint,” Williams said.

“When he walked in the building, youcould feel Alex Smith taking control ofthe locker room and being part of whatwe were looking for from a stabilitystandpoint.”

The practice field has been the settingfor Redskins players getting an up-closelook at Smith. Cornerback Josh Normanbemoaned not being able to get enoughwork in because Smith was too accurateand wouldn’t make mistakes, andSwearinger called him the kind of playerdefenders hate to face.

Gruden, a former QB himself and anoffensive guru, sees Smith as someonewho can run his playbook and is alsotailoring some things to him to maxi-mize his mobility and decision-makingprowess.

“Really what CAN’T he do?” Grudensaid. “We’re just trying to come up with aplan of attack that utilizes his skillset andmake him as comfortable as possible.”

Smith looks and feels comfortable offthe field, too. In addition to playersadmiring how the playbook has grownbecause of his addition, Thompson andsaid Smith “seemed to just fit in with usright away.”

Gruden said Smith “doesn’t walk inhere like he’s king. He’s walking in herelike he’s one of the guys.” As one of thefittest players on the team, Smith sets awork ethic example, and his personalityis such that Gruden thinks he could playa pickup basketball game with anyoneand fit in.

Perhaps that’s why his transition tothe Redskins has been so seamless thatWilliams said it feels as if Smith has beenaround a long time.

The Redskins hope he actually is. “He has the charisma, he has the

character, he has everything that youwant in a quarterback,” Williams said.“And that’s what they’re supposed to be:a face of the franchise, and I can tell youthis: Alex Smith fits that mold as the faceof a franchise.”

As he’s gotten older, QB Alex Smith says he’s “more conscious ... about the responsibility as a teammate, being a good teammate.”

eNEWSPAPER BONUS COVERAGE

NEWTOWN SQUARE,Pa. — Rickie Fowler hasstayed at home for the lastthree weeks and two FedExCup playoff events becauseof a partly torn right ob-lique, which he says mightturn out to be the best forhim.

Players at his level faceone of the busiest stretchesof the year with four FedExCup events in five weeks,followed by the Ryder Cup.

“It wasn’t planned tomiss, but it could end upbeing a good thing with thestretch we have coming up,”Fowler said. “So glad to beback. Nice to be back with-out pain.”

The first order of busi-ness is making sure hedoesn’t play one week andthen be forced into a two-week break ahead of theRyder Cup from Sept. 28-30in France. By missing thetwo FedEx Cup events,Fowler dropped from No. 17to No. 26. Only the top 30after this week go to theTour Championship.

Fowler says the injury tohis side occurred over time,though he still rememberswhen he knew it was anissue.

“Seventh tee, 6-iron atAkron on Saturday,” he saidof the Bridgestone Invita-tional on Aug. 4. “I felt alittle bit of discomfort there

leading into it, but that waswhere I really felt it andplayed through it Saturdaythere and Sunday and thentried to rest and recover asmuch as I could going to thePGA.”

He started the finalround of the PGA Champi-onship just three shots be-hind but closed with a 71and was never a factor.

Fowler said he spent thelast three weeks at home inFlorida using ice, heat, painmedication and a lasermachine. He has a friendwho is a spinal neurosur-geon, and Fowler says heused a laser machine two orthree times a day.

He thought about return-ing last week at the TPCBoston, where he won in2015, but he didn’t startplaying until two days be-fore the Dell TechnologiesChampionship and didn’tthink he had preparedproperly.

There also was that textfrom Ryder Cup captainJim Furyk, who said he waspassing along a messagefrom former captain DavisLove III.

He said, ‘No one has eversaid they came back frominjury too late,’ ” Fowlersaid. “That’s what kind ofhelped make the decision.Let’s make sure we’re goodto go for these final twoplayoff events, and espe-cially the Ryder Cup.”

Fowler is among 21 play-

ers who played Aroniminkwhen it hosted the AT&TNational in 2010 and 2011(as Congressional was pre-paring for the U.S. Open).Fowler played in the finalgroup in 2011 but shot 74and tied for 13th.

Rookie raceJustin Thomas knows

how valuable the TourChampionship can be for aPGA Tour rookie, and notjust because of the shot atthe $10 million bonus. Hemissed out by one shotgetting to East Lake as arookie in 2015, and it ulti-mately cost him, especiallywhen Daniel Berger ad-vanced.

“I was very bummed, justbecause at that point intime, I knew when Bergermade it that he was prob-ably going to win rookie ofthe year, and that reallyticked me off because Iwanted to beat him out ofthat,” Thomas said. “And Ididn’t. So as you can see, I’mtotally over it.”

The rookie race this sea-son has two tournamentsleft, and East Lake could goa long way in persuadingplayers which way they’llvote.

Four players classified asPGA Tour rookies have re-ached the third playoffevent at the BMW Champi-onship, and Aaron Wisewould seem to be the front-

runner. He won the AT&TByron Nelson and tied forsecond the week before atthe Wells Fargo Champi-onship. Wise is at No. 18 atthe BMW, virtually a lock tomake it to East Lake.

Austin Cook won at SeaIsland at the end of last yearand is No. 42 going into theBMW Championship. An-other rookie winner wasSatoshi Kodaira of Japan,who won at Hilton Head.He was eliminated from theFedEx Cup last week, andPGA Tour members have ahistory of not voting forinternational players. In2010, Fowler won the awardover Rory McIlroy, eventhough McIlroy won a tour-nament that year.

Two other rookies, PeterUihlein and Keith Mitchell,made it to Aronimink justnarrowly. Without havingwon this year, they wouldhave to reach the TourChampionship and contendat East Lake to have anychance.

Mama KerrCristie Kerr and her hus-

band, Erik Stevens, are par-ents again.

Five years after their firstchild, Mason, was born to asurrogate after in-vitro fer-tilization, they announcedon Instagram they have hadtheir second son, whomthey named Griffin.

“A different kind of Labor

Day!” she said. The babywas born Aug. 28.

Kerr is playing next weekin the Evian Championshipin France, the fifth and finalLPGA major of the year.

Mad scientistBryson DeChambeau left

out the details when askedfor memories of his firstscience project when hewas younger.

“Funny enough, I wasactually trying to come upwith a theory that — shouldI even say this? — thatgravity actually pushed out-ward and not inward,”DeChambeau said after hissecond straight FedEx Cupplayoff victory.

Greeted by silence, hesaid, “That’s going to throwyou guys for a loop.”

DeChambeau said hewas in the sixth or seventhgrade, and his theory wasexplained well enough that“it actually got pretty highup there in the science fair.But it was pretty muchgravity that was just push-ing in the opposite direc-tion.”

But isn’t gravity whatallows a golf ball to fall intothe cup?

“No. Well, what I meanby that is I’m not going toget into that,” DeChambeausaid with a laugh. “Butthere’s a greater force that’sactually pushing outward toallow the ball to go down.

Long story short, I’d have totake a couple of minutes foryou to get that.”

Minutes?

DivotsOf the 21 players at the

BMW Championship whoplayed the AT&T Nationalat Aronimink in 2010 and2011, three were amateurs.Byeong Hun An missed thecut in 2010. The next year,Patrick Cantlay tied for20th and Uihlein, the reign-ing U.S. Amateur champion,tied for 70th. Four yearsafter hosting the Ryder Cup,Le Golf Nacional outsideParis will host the 2022World Amateur TeamChampionships. It will bethe third time the WorldAmateur Team is held inFrance. The European Toursays Made in Denmark, thetournament Matt Wallacewon last week, will movenext year to May 23-26.That’s one week after thePGA Championship at Be-thpage Black on Long Is-land.

Final word“If you play well, you win.

There’s no science or mathor anything that can go inthere. You play good, youwin. It’s pretty damn sim-ple, if you ask me.” — DustinJohnson, on what makes agood match-play competi-tor.

Rickie Fowler, teeing off at the 12th hole in the final round of the PGA Championship on Aug. 12 at Bellerive in St. Louis, sees an advantage in having sat out the last couple of weeks.

At the same time, she stressed in afollow-up to the conversation, shewanted to make it clear that the entireTerra leadership and ADC team, as wellas its many cultural and financial part-ners in the project, are what havebrought this thing into being.

That follow-up is typical of Siegen-thaler, said one of Terra’s leaders, Exe-

Still, “Jenny really helped shape theinitiative ... from its inception,” saidZinck. “She reached out to over 100individuals locally, nationally and inter-nationally before solidifying the scopeof Art Design Chicago.”

As one example of what the projecthas meant, Cesareo Moreno, chief cura-tor at the Mexican art museum, said hisinstitution’s springtime “Arte DisenoXicago” exhibition was much richerbecause ADC money meant he couldhire researchers to delve into ChicagoMexican art history and he could travelto research key artists in the story.

It’s been a five-year effort that cutsacross the boundaries of the city’s cul-tural institutions, with dozens of peopleserving on ADC’s development com-mittees.

The initiative has backed importantnew shows on Mexican art in Chicago,the African-American painter CharlesWhite, and the photographer KennethJosephson, to name just a few, withmany more still to come in the year’swaning months.

At the core of the project is the city’snonprofit Terra Foundation for Ameri-can Art, which proposed the initiativeand has backed it with more than $6.5million of its money.

And at the core of the Terra’s work

has been its lead Chicago grantmaker,Jennifer Siegenthaler, a 56-year-oldlifelong arts administrator who, as shehelped steer Terra money toward Chi-cago projects through the years, recog-nized the hunger for a project like thisand was instrumental in getting itstarted.

A primary goal is “rounding out thestory of American art to include morefrom the middle, not just the coasts,”Siegenthaler said in January, as ArtDesign Chicago kicked off.

Dear Amy: I am a 51-year-old woman. My husbanddied two years ago. Istarted talking to a manthrough one of the onlinegames I play. It started outas mild flirtation. I askedhim if he was married. Hetold me his marriage wasbasically over. He hadn’tfelt anything for his wife inquite a while. I thoughtthat was a safe answer, andwe decided to meet inperson. I felt like we hadknown each other forever.

We’ve “been together”for seven months, and he isstill with his wife. We don’tsee each other very often,but he calls every day. Welove each other. He tellsme he needs time to thinkabout how to get out of hismarriage without losingeverything he’s worked for.He also has a job that re-quires him to live in hiscity, so moving in with meis not an option right now.I have a 13-year-old daugh-ter living at home. Myadult sons are happy that Ifound someone but are nothappy that he is married,obviously.

He has brought me somuch happiness when Iwas going through somuch darkness. I don’tthink I’m rebounding.Everyone tells me he won’tleave his wife, but hedoesn’t even sleep withher. There is no love intheir marriage. How long istoo long to wait for some-one to make up his mind?

— Wondering Widow

Dear Wondering: Peoplewho are rebounding usu-ally don’t realize they arerebounding. That is theself-deluding magic of aromantic rebound.

When someone says hismarriage is “basicallyover,” one response is:

“When it is actually over, Ihope you’ll let me know.”

As it is now, he is “basi-cally” committing adultery.This is not what good,steady, reliable, honest andloving people do.

If your daughter liked aguy in middle school whoalready had a girlfriend,would you tell her tocharge ahead, regardless?Are you modeling positiverelationship behavior?Because make no mistake:She is watching.

Because you are willingto be in this relationship,he has little incentive tochange his life. For you,this relationship danglesunfulfilled promises, andover time, your own self-esteem will take a hit. Ipredict that whatevertimeline you impose on hisadultery, he will find waysand reasons to extend it.

This relationship seemsto have pulled you back tolife after your husband’sdeath. I hope you will takethis experience and use itto meet other people whoare more available to be ina fully committed relation-ship with you.

Dear Amy: My wife leftthe house and our kids(and me) four months ago.She left us to be with a newman and seems to be get-ting very serious in hernew relationship and nowis trying to have the chil-dren be OK with it.

I have tried to let herknow it is too soon forthem to be introduced toher new love interest. Ihave even sent her articleson how detrimental this isfor our children. What do Isay to my kids to try toprevent any future issuesand have them grow up as“normally” as possible?

— Devoted Dad

Dear Dad: You don’t men-tion the ages of your kids,but aside from what isgoing on with them, youshould make sure you andyour wife have a legalseparation agreement,with custody arrange-ments.

I agree that it is probablytoo soon for your childrento absorb that their motherhas bounced away fromthem (and you) and intoanother serious relation-ship. If she has visitation,you likely cannot preventher from making this in-troduction, and so youshould do everything youcan to mitigate any fallout.

Don’t pump the kids forinformation. Make surethey know that whateverthey encounter with theirmother’s mixed-up life,you are their calm, steadyand supportive dad.

Dear Amy: I’m respond-ing to the question from“Frustrated,” who wastrying to cope with theheartbreak of living with(and caring for) her hero-in-addicted daughter, whois currently sober.

Thank you for suggesti-ng that these parents seekpeer support throughNar-Anon. Meetings reallyhelped me during timeswhen my family was hang-ing by a thread.

— Sober Survivor

Dear Survivor: “Friendsand family” supportgroups have helped count-less people struggling witha loved one’s addiction.Sometimes “the chairs” arereally a lifeboat.

Former “Cosby Show” actor Geoffrey Owens wasmoved by Tyler Perry offering him a job after Owenswas publicly shamed for working at Trader Joe’s.

Perry extended the offer to Owens in a tweet Tues-day, shortly after photos of Owens working at theClifton, N.J., grocery store garnered attention online.

“That was kind of cool,” Owens told EntertainmentTonight of Perry’s offer. “I mean, that kind of soundedlike he was saying, ‘Come work with me.’ I’m so, like,skeptical. Are you actually saying, ‘Come work withme?’ Because we’ve never worked together before. So,that’s a very, very generous thing for him to say. Andwe’ll see what happens with that. But that’s encourag-ing.”

Owens, 57, appeared on “Good Morning America”on Tuesday and said he was still pursuing acting op-portunities but took the job at Trader Joe’s to helpprovide for his family. He has since left the job.

“When I first saw the pictures I was devastated,”Owens said on the show. “But the period of devas-tation was so short, because shortly after that, my wifeand I started to read these responses from like literallyall over the world of support,” he said. “It hurt, but it’samazing.”

Owens has had roles in many series in recent years,including “Elementary, “Blue Bloods” and “Lucifer.”

concept of what actors get paid —and the assumption that they allget paid well just isn’t true.

A few years ago I spoke withtheater actors in Chicago — spe-cifically non-Equity actors per-forming at storefront theaters —about what it means to earn littleto no money for each project.Even if it’s a hit show.

That means most have day jobsto in order to pay their bills, work-ing an eight-hour day and thengoing to work at night for re-hearsals or a performance.

This isn’t uncommon, which iswhy the hashtag #ActorsWith-DayJobs took off in the wake ofthe original story about Owensworking at Trader Joe’s.

The exhaustion is real. But it’sa strategic decision.

McKenzie Chinn was an actorI talked to for the piece, andhere’s what she told me:

“I think most of us were pre-pared for the grind of it, this idea offinding a way to make a livingwhile continuing to make our art.”

Will Kiley was another actor Ispoke to:

“When I moved to Chicago Ihad no concept that the pay wouldbe so low at established theaters. Iwas surprised at the stipend cul-ture; that was my ignorance.

“For the work you put in com-pared to the money you receiveback, it doesn’t feel like there’s adirect correlation. I did some in-dustrial voice-over stuff, and fortwo hours of work I got paid acouple thousand dollars, and thathelped finance moving to Chicago,but that work felt artistically shal-low and super easy. Whereas I’llwork my tail off on a storefrontshow, which is what I want to bedoing, and get paid in, you know,beer.”

Getting TV and film work candramatically change their circum-stances to a point where they canfinally quit that day job.

But even then, it’s not as muchmoney as people assume. Bigearners are outliers.

Here are the numbers for film(as of 2017) according to TheHollywood Reporter:

“An actor with only a few cred-its appearing in his or her first bigfranchise movie — like Gal Gadotin ‘Wonder Woman’ or HenryCavill in ‘Man of Steel’ — canexpect to earn between $150,000and $300,000. They’ll make con-siderably more if there’s a sequel.And on the really low end, thekids in ‘It’ were paid SAG-AFTRAscale, now between $65,000 and$75,000.”

TV actors are paid per episode.The Hollywood Reporter has thegoing rate on the low end at$30,000 per episode — “which is

what the kids from ‘StrangerThings’ earned their first season.”

“Stranger Things” ran eightepisodes in Season 1, making thata total of $240,000. For actors onbroadcast network shows with 22episodes, the $30,000-per-epi-sode year-end total is consider-ably higher at $660,000.

Both are considerable sums.But not the kind of money toensure an actor will never needto work again. And those salaryfigures are before agent (usually10 percent) and manager (anoth-er 15 percent) fees are subtracted.And before taxes.

When a show runs for multipleseasons, actors often are able tonegotiate increasingly highersalaries (the cast of “The BigBang Theory” proved that out,with its core actors earning $1million per episode), and in somecases actors are given an execu-tive producer credit that entailsprofit participation — and indeed,those actors may never have toworry about earning a paycheckagain.

But that’s true only for a smallminority of people who work asactors.

I remember talking to MarthaPlimpton years ago when shelanded the Fox series “RaisingHope,” which ran for four sea-sons. Despite the fact that shewas a household name by thatpoint and had been in numerousmovies (“The Goonies,” “Parent-hood,” “Running on Empty,” “200Cigarettes”) and guest-starred onnumerous dramas (“The GoodWife” among them) and hadpicked up three Tony nomina-tions, this was the first time she’dachieved financial security.

Television, she said, is the onlyway to make a living as an actor.

“You can try making a living inmovies, but that’s just not going tohappen anymore unless you’re alead actor in a blockbuster. I’m acharacter actor, always have been,and movies just don’t pay support-ing actors anything. Television iswhere you can make a living, andyou can maybe have a life — youcan think about planning for re-tirement, like all that stuff thatnormal people do.”

And a recurring role just isn’tenough to make that happen.

Like Plimpton, “Luke Cage”star Mike Colter had a recurringrole on CBS’ “The Good Wife.”Last month he told me about the“survival job” he had waitingtables at a restaurant in New Yorkwhile he was on the show — andyes, people recognized him.

“The problem was, I was start-ing to get jobs where people recog-nized me (including the film “Mil-lion Dollar Baby”), but I didn’thave the financial freedom to quitmy job. I needed to work at the

restaurant. And it was a goodsurvival job! So I had to decide, doI keep my survival job and justsuck it up and give myself peace ofmind financially and know exactlyhow I’m going to pay my bills? Orwas I going to jump off the cliff asan artist and go from off-Broad-way show to off-Broadway show;guest role to guest role? And forme, I didn’t want to do that. I wasmarried and didn’t want to havean unstable lifestyle.

“But getting recognized at workwas a problem! I was constantlybeing recognized and I felt like asideshow freak. People would comein and go, ‘Oh my God, you’re …’and I would say, ‘Yes (exasperatedsigh), can I take your order?’ It wasstarting to happen to me a lot,especially when I started workingon ‘The Good Wife.’

“The thing is, I was eventuallyable to quit — but I wouldn’t, be-cause I felt like, if I have time towork, then I felt like I should work.Obviously my ego’s going to take ahit if I’m recognized for being anactor on TV and yes, I still waittables. It happened several times aday, to the point where I would

take days off because I couldn’tdeal with it. But I wanted to workand it was more money, and I waslike, what’s wrong with a littlemore money? That was my insecu-rity. That was me wanting to savefor a rainy day.”

For actors, jobs come and go.“Hamilton” star Leslie Odom

Jr. told me he nearly quit actingbecause of this kind of financialuncertainty:

“It was right before my 30thbirthday and I had all these expec-tations that surrounded that num-ber for me. There was a place that Ithought I was supposed to befinancially. A place of maturationthat I thought was supposed tocome hand-in-hand with the num-ber, turning 30. I don’t think I’malone in that.

“At the very least, I thought thatyou’re supposed to be able to standon your own feet, you’re supposedto be able to pay your own rent,you’re supposed to go out on a dateand pay for dinner. That kind ofstuff. And there were times when Icould do that, and there were timeswhen I really couldn’t. And I wastired of the roller coaster.

“I was living in LA and I’d hadsome success as an actor, I can’tsay that I was completely left inthe cold. But it was really inconsis-tent and I was sick of it.”

Two years later he would landthe role of Aaron Burr in “Hamil-ton.”

None of this is predictable.Work isn’t always steady. Actorsmight be in demand at one point,not so much at another. Factor inthe pay gap as it applies to whitewomen, people of color andwomen of color especially andearning (and saving) power goesdown significantly.

That’s exacerbated by that factwomen and people of color sim-ply aren’t hired for as many roles.According to a recent study, only31.2 percent of film leads werewomen and 13.9 percent werepeople of color.

All of that can conspire to makeit even more challenging forworking actors to sock awayenough money to hold them-selves over during a dry spell.

foot the conflicted filmmaker inofficial attendance.

At the news conference pre-ceding Wednesday’s screening,according to Variety, directorErrol Morris (“The Fog of War,”“The Thin Blue Line”) foundhimself on the defensive in near-record time. Various journalistsaccused Morris of “normalizing”Bannon’s plainly racist, neo-Nazi-friendly track record as the one-time Breitbart News guru. Varietycritic Owen Gleiberman’s reviewof “American Dharma” accusedMorris of settling for softball,non-adversarial questioning, theend result being “a toothlessbromance” of ideological oppo-sites.

“Did I struggle with the ques-tion?” Morris said Wednesday,about lending Bannon cinematiclegitimacy. “The answer is yes. Ifthe question is, am I still strug-gling with it? The answer wouldstill be yes.”

A couple of hours after “Ameri-can Dharma” opened for pressand industry Tuesday on the Lido,Bannon was holed up in the plushGritti Palace hotel, where therooms start around $1,500 and goup several thousands from there.It was the perfect contradictorysetting for a man discussing hisvision of “a right-wing populistRepublican workers’ party.”

I’d emailed Bannon to talkabout his experience with Morris,and to talk about the documenta-ry’s focus, which uses extensivefootage of key films in Bannon’smovie-loving life. These includethe war films “Twelve O’ClockHigh” and “The Bridge on theRiver Kwai,” as well as OrsonWelles’ “Chimes at Midnight,”with its stark climactic betrayaland banishment of Falstaff by thenewly crowned King Henry V, his

old tavern buddy. Morris equatesthis with Trump’s banishment ofBannon from a different kingdom.

Later, after our interview, Ban-non emailed me an answer to aquestion I’d neglected to ask, areal “duh” of a question, about hisgetting disinvited to the NewYorker Festival earlier that week.New Yorker editor David Rem-nick rescinded the invite aftervarious other high-profile gueststhreatened to cancel. Bannon’s awholesaler of hate, they said.Millions more believe as much.

“Beyond Remnick being agutless coward,” Bannon said byemail late Tuesday, “we are seeinghow democracies die — by thetyranny of the mob. Our countryis based on the free exchange of

ideas — we lose this at our peril.”Bannon’s happy with “Ameri-

can Dharma,” which indicates tomany that the movie’s even-han-ded to a fault.

“The seamlessness of howErrol went through these com-plex arguments we had, aboutpolitics and culture, while layingin the background of what led upto the Trump campaign, and theninterweaving that with so manyfilms … it kind of blew me away. Ithought for good or bad, whatev-er people think, he delivered.” Headds: “There’s nothing (in it)that’s close to being unfair.” Thefilm ends with the interviewsetting, a re-creation of a Quonsethut referencing “Twelve O’ClockHigh,” in apocalyptic flames.

I ask Bannon if he’s on boardwith his former boss’ characteri-zation of the media as the enemyof the people. “I think … I thinkwhen you see the media doing anall-out onslaught against this guy,day in and day out, from his per-spective it’s justified to say they’rethe enemy of the people. You haveto put yourself in his position. It’sunprecedented in Americanhistory. It’s coming from themedia and it’s backed by theestablishment. We saw this, wejust went through this, during theHigh Holy Days of John McCainlast week. That was just an out-right … whether you hate Trumpor not … whether you detest him,and you think he’s bad and every-thing. … you can’t not invite the

president of the United States.”He hopes “American Dharma”

makes it clear, he says, that “theworking class and the middleclass in this country has beenscrewed. And the time of ac-counting is upon us.”

I mention that the left doesn’tlike the middle- and working-class in a vise any more than theright does. Maybe that’s thebridge?

“I don’t mean this to be harsh,”he says, “but America goesthrough cycles of history.” This isa familiar rhetorical device fromhis early writings, and fromcountless speeches more recentlyacross Europe. “We’re in a cyclenow where we’re not going to huganything out. To get to that unity,you’ve got to have division.”

Bannon has his own moviecoming out, though not at theVenice Film Festival. Streamingthis week, “Trump @War” is pure“propaganda,” he says, grinning,designed to fire up Trump’s baseand “make ’em wanna grab apitchfork. This is not a search fortruth.” And the coming mid-termelections, he adds, as we wrap itup, “are not about ‘persuasion.’This is muscle versus muscle.”Meantime Morris’ movie, thework of a quietly despairing libe-ral filmmaker, has made at leastone audience member content.

“American Dharma” makes itsNorth American festival debut thisweek at the Toronto InternationalFilm Festival. The film is currentlyseeking a U.S. distributor.

Much of Chicago’s culturalcalendar this year has beenshaped by Art Design Chicago, themassive multi-institution initia-tive led by the city’s Terra Foun-dation for American Art thatprobes the city’s influence onvisual arts in America.

That seems especially true inthe fall season as the final acts inArt Design Chicago take the stage,and the major science museumsaren’t doing their usual autumnintroductions of new shows. Bignew exhibitions on advertisingand design, especially, are gettingunderway, and we’re getting aconsidered look at some of thecity’s most famous painters too.They’ll be happening amid acalendar of perennial fall favoritesthat includes the Chicago Hu-manities Festival and the NationalMuseum of Mexican Art’s annual(and always new) Day of the Deadshow.

The Tribune has already pre-viewed the Chicago History Mu-seum’s upcoming show “Modernby Design,” and the Museum ofContemporary Art’s big “West byMidwest” show. So here, arrangedchronologically, are 10 (or so)other exhibitions I am particu-larly looking forward to in thecoming months:

The Hairy Who? and the Chi-cago Imagists: If you know evena little about artmaking in Chi-cago you’ve come across thesemonikers used to describe loosecoalitions that came together inthe city in the middle of the 20thcentury. Three separate shows(yep, backed by Art Design Chi-cago) will explain and exploresome of their legacy. “Break aRule” at Northwestern Universi-ty’s Block Museum (Sept. 18 toDec. 9; www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu) will examinethe work and teaching of EdPaschke, an intriguing approachto an art show. “The Figure andthe Chicago Imagists: Selectionsfrom the Elmhurst College ArtCollection” (Sept. 8 to Jan. 13;www.elmhurstartmuseum.org) isa new exhibition at Elmhurst ArtMuseum curated by SuellenRocca, an original Hairy Who?member. And “Hairy Who? 1966-1969” at the Art Institute (Sept. 26to Jan. 6; www.artic.edu) takes amore comprehensive look mark-ing the 50th anniversary of thegroup’s final Chicago show.

“David Hockney: Time andMore, Space and More …”: Wehaven’t had a lot of Hockney inthe city in the past decade, so thisshow at the warehouse space ofRichard Gray Gallery, the 81-year-old artist’s Chicago representa-tive, looks plenty intriguing. It“presents Hockney’s recent videoand photographic works in tan-dem,” Gray says. “Making itsgallery debut at the center of theexhibition is Hockney’s multipartvideo installation ‘The Four Sea-sons, Woldgate Woods, 2010-2011’... The work is composed of fournine-channel video walls andarranged within the space like thecardinal directions of a compassrose,” depicting the seasons. Sept.13 to Nov. 21 at Gray Warehouse,2044 W. Carroll Ave.; 312-883-8277

and richardgraygallery.com.

“Celebrating South Side Sto-ries”: This daylong event acrossSouth Side venues aims to showoff the area to the unfamiliar,while spotlighting new exhib-itions on South Side art and theart of DuSable Museum of Afri-can American History founderMargaret Burroughs. “The TimeIs Now! Art Worlds of Chicago’sSouth Side” opens Sept. 13 at theUniversity of Chicago’s SmartMuseum of Art, while “The Artand Influence of Dr. Margaret T.Burroughs” opens the same day atthe nearby DuSable. Both are ArtDesign Chicago shows and bothsound promising on their own,but the real treat would be tocombine them with the sort offield trip ADC has planned for thesubsequent Saturday, Sept. 15.Spanning eight institutions, thevery full, family-friendly day willinclude events at Theaster Gates’Stony Island Arts Bank, a neigh-borhood walking tour, art-makingactivities and panel discussions.More at artdesignchicago.org.

“Krista Franklin: ‘… to takeroot among the stars’ ”: It canbe easy to overlook the PoetryFoundation among the city’scultural offerings. But this well-

funded North Side organizationdedicated to the perpetuation ofprecise language maintains a fullschedule of readings, exhibitionsand other projects. Of note on thefall docket is this “speculativemapping project” on Afrofuturistand AfroSurrealist thought viahandmade paper by Franklin, aChicago writer and visual artist.Among the performers at theexhibition opening will be thepoet and musician Jamila Woods.Sept. 27 to Dec. 21 at the PoetryFoundation, 1. W. Superior St.;312-787-7070 and poetryfoundation.org.

Art on theMART: Few projectswill get a bigger, more prominent,more inescapable or more chal-lenging canvas. But thanks to acollaboration between the city,the owners of the Building For-merly Known as the MerchandiseMart and local artists, the river-facing facade of theMart begin-ning late this month will becomea video art showcase for those onthe riverwalk or Wacker Driveacross the way. The real test willbe in seeing how this actuallyworks as an art showcase twohours nightly from Wednesday toSunday and every month exceptJanuary and February. BeginsSept. 29.

“Creative Chicago: An Inter-view Marathon”: This is thefirst marathon I’ve featured in afall preview, and this one is cer-tainly more relevant to Chicagoarts than that other, sweatier fallmarathon in the city. Art DesignChicago (them again), Expo Chi-cago and Navy Pier are teamingup to present London curatorHans Ulrich Obrist in, I suppose,concert. He’ll be conducting afive-hour session — apparently aSunday drive, by his standards —with Chicago figures includingTheaster Gates, Dawoud Bey,Jeanne Gang, Richard Hunt, TimSamuelson and AmandaWilliams. The free event takesplace during Expo Chicago, be-ginning at 1 p.m. Sept. 29 in theAon Grand Ballroom on Navy Pier(artdesignchicago.org). I suggestwearing your comfortable pants.

“Keep Moving: DesigningChicago’s Bicycle Culture”:This exhibition had me at “bicy-cle” and “culture.” The ChicagoDesign Museum show soundslike it wants to focus on, in par-ticular, the early days of Chicagobike manufacturing, in a firstheyday around the turn of the lastcentury, but will also delve intothe resurgence of cycling today.Can’t wait to see how it feels

about the “Idaho stop” and the“Dutch reach.” Instead of being inthe usual Chicago Design Muse-um space in the Block 37 mall,this one will be presented in apop-up nearby in the city’s Expo72 space. It is, perhaps inevitably,an Art Design Chicago event. Oct.27 to March 3, 2019, at Expo 72, 72E. Randolph St.; 312-894-6263 andchidm.com.

“African American Designersin Chicago: Art, Commerceand the Politics of Race”:Another Art Design Chicagoshow, this major exhibition in theprime gallery space at ChicagoCultural Center looks at the workand impact of black designers inthe city in realms from cartooningto graphic design, from illustra-tion to product design. It pledgesto be “the first to demonstratehow African American designersremade the image of the blackconsumer and the work of theblack artist in this major hub ofAmerican advertising/consumerculture.” Oct. 27 to March 3, 2019,at Chicago Cultural Center, fourthfloor north exhibit hall, 78 E.Washington St.; 312-744-3316 andchicagoculturalcenter.org.

Its name is Sue. How do youdo? For all you young peoplewho read the newspaper, thatheading is a reference to a JohnnyCash tune (written by Shel Silver-stein, incidentally). It’s also areference to the Field Museum’smost famous fossil. In some 125thanniversary changes, the museummoved a titanosaur skeleton thatit wants us to think of by thename “Maximo” into its centralhall and moved Sue the T. rexupstairs, to new space amid therest of the dinosaur exhibit. Thatwas supposed to be ready nextJanuary or February or so. Butapparently things have beenmoving along, and the museum isanticipating unveiling its apexfossil in its new digs before year’send. Expect an exhibit that makesthe T. rex less of an art object,more of an animal within a histor-ical context. But I’ve already seenSue in the unfinished room, and itseems almost bigger and meanerwithout all that air of the gianthall around it. Opens in December(anticipated) at the Field Museum,1400 S. Lake Shore Drive; 312-922-9410 and www.fieldmuseum.org.

Hockney, outdoor art and epic interviewsBy Steve JohnsonChicago Tribune

“David Hockney: Time and More, Space and More …” highlights the pop art icon’s most recent work in video and photography.

RICHARD GRAY GALLERY

“Bare Shouldered Beauty and the Pink Creature,” 1965, from “Hairy Who? 1966-1969” at the Art Institute.

through, find the film clip, thebook …” he said.

As it’s turned out, a lot of theADC focus has been to bring tolight stories of artists and artcommunities that haven’t re-ceived the full spotlight.

Siegenthaler pointed to a“really important” survey showon African-American design inthe city that’ll be at the CulturalCenter beginning in October.

“It is looking at the sweep ofAfrican-American designers’innovations and contributions toadvertising and graphic designand product design and signmaking, et cetera,” she said.

She applauds this focus onperhaps under-recognized fig-ures, but, she emphasized, “theseare the stories that the institu-tions really wanted to tell. We putthe opportunity out there to ap-ply. And they came forward withthese topics they were reallyinterested in. So it’s great.”

And the experience has been acareer highlight.

“It’s one of the most rewardingthings I’ve had the chance to do,and work on,” Siegenthaler said.“Chicago is a city where there hasbeen a lot of collaboration oncultural initiatives. But it’s been

really gratifying to see how en-thusiastic the partners are aboutworking together, telling thestories that they really wanted tobring to light and feel are impor-tant. There’s a real spirit of gener-osity.”

And of audience connection,she said: “I like to go to exhib-itions more than once, theseexhibitions in particular. The firsttime, I like to get the lay of theland and get familiar with theworks and take in the story that isbeing told — and then to go backand see how the audience is inter-acting with the work. And I reallyfeel like there’s a deep level ofengagement and interest.”

Siegenthaler, who lives in Ev-anston, didn’t start out on thegrantmaking side of arts adminis-tration. She came to the then-Terra Museum of American Artin 2002 as head of the educationdepartment.

With degrees in art educationfrom Kenyon College and thenthe Maryland Institute College ofArt, she held jobs at the PhillipsCollection in Washington, D.C.,the Los Angeles County Museumof Art and the Getty Museum,also in Los Angeles.

But she sought out the Terrajob, she said, because she wantedto be closer to family, most of

whom are in the Midwest. (Shegrew up in Mansfield, Ohio.)

Just two years after she arrivedhere, the Terra Museum closed,and Siegenthaler transitioned to ajob with the Terra Foundation,which has reimagined itself asbeing a “museum without walls.”Her title is director of educationgrants and initiatives, but her

duties have come to include afocus on the city in which thefoundation is located.

That focus has been especiallyintense in this project year, shesaid, but she is hopeful that whatis happening in 2018 will have alasting impact.

“I hope it will lead to moreprojects in the future and just a

greater appreciation of Chicago,”she said. “It’s a great music town.It’s a great theater town. It’s agreat architecture town. But it’salso a great art and design town. ...And it has been all along. It’s notjust a recent phenomenon.”

CHICAGO’SHIDDEN GEMS

Warning: Spoilers aheadThis has been a great

year for local cooking con-testants. Chicago residentsrecently won “Top Chef”and “MasterChef Junior” —but the last Chicago-areacontestant left on Season 9of “MasterChef” was senthome on Wednesday’sepisode.

Midwestern Universitydental student FarhanMomin made it to the top 6of the Fox network compe-tition. He had trouble repli-cating three chocolatedesserts in the eliminationchallenge.

“It’s really difficult towalk away, but I learned somuch along this journey.Coming into this, I was adental student first andforemost, and food wassomething that I just did onthe side,” Momin said.“Now leaving, I can really

see a career in food. For me,this is just beginning.”

The two-hour episodebegan with a team chal-lenge to feed diners atProvidence restaurant inLos Angeles. It was the firsttime “MasterChef” hastaken over a restaurant thathas been awarded Michelinstars.

Momin, who lives inDowners Grove, and Iowanative Samantha Dailywere on the blue teamhelmed by Kentucky nativeGerron Hurt. FloridianAshley Mincey led pilotBowen Li and Texasteacher Cesar Cano on thered team.

Each team was taskedwith serving two appetizers— pan-seared scallops withcarrots and baby shiitakemushrooms; and roastedking salmon with kombu-cured vegetables; and twoentrees — duck breast withstuffed turnip; and NewYork strip loins with aspar-

agus and relish.“We’re home cooks.

We’re not even classicallytrained. None of us haveworked in a restaurant and

we’re about to take overone of the best restaurantsin the world. The stakescould not be higher rightnow,” Momin said.

Both teams made mis-takes, but the red teammembers had better cama-raderie and they wereawarded the win. Momin,Daily and Hurt faced thehour-long eliminationchallenge to make threedesserts — white chocolatepanna cotta with a rasp-berry coulis; whipped milkchocolate mousse; anddark chocolate molten lavacake.

Hurt performed well inthe challenge, but Mominand Daily struggled.Momin said he doesn’toften cook with chocolate.His molten lava cake wasundercooked and hispanna cotta was too ge-latinous. Still, his elimina-tion was a surprise becauseDaily had trouble with hermousse and panna cotta.

“Farhan, timing got thebetter of you and unfortu-nately you left us with alacklaster panna cotta anda grainy mousse,” judge

Gordon Ramsay said.Judge Aaron Sanchez,

Momin’s mentor during thecompetition, praised hisdistinct food point-of-viewand told Momin he’s wel-come to visit him in NewOrleans to improve hiscooking techniques.

Five home cooks remainon Season 9 of “Mas-terChef” because no onewas sent home after theelimination challenge onthe second half of the epi-sode. The winner of theseries, which airs at 7 p.m.Wednesdays, is slated toreceive $250,000.

A casting call for Season10 of “MasterChef” isscheduled to be held from10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 22 atthe Chicago MarriottDowntown MagnificentMile, 540 N. Michigan Ave.More information is atmasterchefcasting.com.

Dear Tom, The dew point has

seemed quite high most ofthis summer. Are we aboveaverage?

— Sue Ostrom

Dear Sue,Actually we are not.

With the help of Chicagoclimatologist Frank Wa-chowski, we analyzed thenumber of days at O’Hareairport with dew points of70 degrees or higher datingto 1959. Over those sixdecades, the city has aver-aged about 30 days eachyear when dew pointsreached the uncomfortable70-degree threshold, rang-ing from a maximum of 53days in 2002 to a minimumof 10 in 2009. The city’sfirst 70-degree dew pointtypically arrives in May,and the last one occurs inSeptember. July typicallyhosts the most muggy days,averaging 11. The city’smuggiest month was Au-gust 1995, logging 26 dayswith dew points of at least70. So far, the number ofmuggy days this year hasbeen about average, with26 through Sept. 5.

Tip of the day

Get rid of odor fromwasher: Over time, anodor-causing residue canbuild up from all the dirt,detergent, fabric softenerand water that passthrough your front-load ortop-load washer. One of thebest things you can do toprevent odors is removewet clothes as soon as pos-sible when the wash cycleis done. Also, leave thewasher door or lid openbetween loads to dry out.

If you have young chil-dren who might find theopen washer door an invi-tation to play, keep thelaundry room door closedwhile airing it out.

It’s one of the unwritten rulesof remodeling that a project willalways cost more and take longerthan expected. But just becausethis is the norm, you don’t have totake it as a given. With the rightcombination of planning, disci-pline and smart shopping, yourrenovation can end on budget andahead of schedule. Here’s how toget there:

Build a cushion. Hidden sur-prises, including structural dam-age behind walls and outdatedelectrical, are the biggest remod-eling budget busters. Building a 10to 15 percent cushion into yourinitial budget will help cover theseunforeseens.

Involving your contractor earlyin the process also helps set arealistic budget. While contrac-tors can’t see through walls, theymight be able to do a pre-inspec-tion of the house to spot potentialproblem areas. A spongy bath-room floor, for example, is a suresign of water damage. Gettingyour contractor on board earlywill also stop you from falling in

love with a design that’s way be-yond your budget.

Negotiate upfront. Most con-tractors are willing to haggle overthe price of the job. That’s espe-cially true if they know you’ll turninto a repeat customer, so if youhave additional projects in mind,be sure to share that informationupfront.

Getting bids from multiplecontractors will increase yourbargaining power. As with anydeal-making, the more informa-tion you have, the stronger yourposition will be.

Stick to the plan. It’s often saidthat the four most expensivewords in home remodeling are“while we’re at it.” If you’re intenton sticking to the budget, youmust resist the urge to change thedesign plan after the work isunderway.

The more detailed the design,the easier this will be. Avoid alot of “allowances” in the writtencontract, basically blank spacesthat your contractor will fill outlater, say for light fixtures or floor-ing materials. It’s easy to under-

estimate how much these itemswill cost.

Do some of the work yourself.DIY can help control projectcosts. Just be sure to make it partof the initial negotiations withyour contractor. Low-impact prepwork is ideal, say tearing up car-pets or taking away old cabinets.

At the back end of the project,finish painting is a great project totackle yourself. Doing so couldshave a few percentage points offthe total budget.

Go bargain hunting. Salvage

yards and second-hand stores canbe great sources for inexpensiveremodeling wares, from fireplacesurrounds to bathroom vanities.There are even retailers that sellentire kitchen sets that have beencarefully removed from high-endresidences.

On a major project, like a gutkitchen renovation, the measurecould save you tens of thousandsof dollars. But making used mate-rials fit your space will presentdesign and installation challenges,so it’s important to work with anarchitect and contractor with theright skill sets and experience.

If your child is just off to col-lege and you’ve been dreaming ofall the ways you could use thatnewly available bedroom, youmay want to put down the paint-brush and hold off for a bit onplans for a major room transfor-mation.

It’s an emotional time allaround, and experts adviseagainst any sudden movements,tempting as they may be.

“It’s the mixed emotions of,‘Wow, look at this potential spaceI’m gaining that I could do some-thing with,’ mixed with, ‘Oh, mykid is leaving home and theywon’t be under my roof each andevery night,’” said Amy Panos,home editor for Better Homesand Gardens magazine.

With many families pinchedfor space, an uninhabited bed-room could become a place forwork, exercise, relaxation orguests, or maybe a bigger roomfor a long-envious little sibling.

The best plan, though, is toleave that bedroom alone for atleast the first year, Panos says.That way, students can returnhome to find the warm and lov-ing environment of their roomstill standing, and they won’t feellike they’ve been forgotten ordisplaced while they were awayadjusting to their new life.

“It’s important for the child toknow they still and always willhave a comfortable place to landback at home,” Panos said.“They’re still very much part ofthe family even though they’renot living in the home full time.”

A teenager’s childhood bed-room is meaningful, a privatespot away from parents and sib-lings where they can shed a tearand be alone with their thoughts,said Vivian Seltzer, who was aprofessor of human developmentand behavior at the University ofPennsylvania for more than 35years and is now a psychologist inprivate practice working with

adolescents. “It’s like a beloved sweater they

feel comfortable in, good in, se-cret in,” Seltzer said.

She recommends leaving achild’s bedroom intact for as longas possible during the collegeyears.

Of course, it’s not always pos-sible to leave the room un-touched, especially in larger fam-

ilies. But any possible change ornew use should be discussed withthe child, after the parents makesure they agree with each other,Seltzer said.

“That’s very important becausea lot of times they don’t,” she said.“One of them has had an eye onthat room and hasn’t mentioned itto the other.”

Talk with your child about any

plans for the room severalmonths before it’s time to go, sherecommended. “Get this topicinto the discussion well ahead oftime, so that it isn’t on the verge ofthe child leaving for college,which is a very emotional period,”Seltzer said. You don’t want themto come home for Christmasbreak and be shocked, “sayingtheir whole room has changed;it’s been taken away from them.”

It can be easy to keep the roomlargely the same and still use itwhen your child is away. If youneed to sit at the desk, store yourchild’s possessions somewheresafe and private. You can tell yourson or daughter that guests maystay in the room, but it will beready for them on school breaks.

“Enjoy the space and use thespace in a smart way,” Panos said.“When the kid comes home, it’stheir space, but the three week-ends out of the month they’re nothome, you can still use it whilestill preserving a soft, comfy placefor them when they come home. Ido not believe you need to keepthe room a shrine to your child.”

Give the room a decluttering

and a deep cleaning, but makesure you don’t throw away objectsspecial to your child.

After the first year, you’ll havelearned how often your childcomes home, for how long andwith how much stuff. “Once youhave a better understanding ofthat, you can plan out somechanges that make sense for yourneeds and for how your kid feelsabout the room,” Panos said.

Then maybe you’ll replace thequeen-size bed with a twin bed ora daybed to free up more space,Panos said. You might repaint in aneutral color or buy nicer linensfor guests. Continue talking withyour child about changes.

Remember, even kids who mayseem too cool for school abouttheir room probably really do careabout it, tattered posters, rugstains and all. It’s a place filledwith memories, one that bears apersonal and sentimental stampyears in the making.

“Don’t underestimate the im-portance of that space for a grow-ing child, even if it’s a kid whoacts like it’s no big deal,” Panossaid. “It is a big deal.”

Kid leaving for college? Keep child’sbedroom mostlyintact for nowBy Lisa A. FlamAssociated Press

You may want to swap out your child’s bed for a daybed that can be used as a seating area or a place to sleep when they’re home from school.

I have some hostas inmy garden that lookfunny with strange, mot-tled colors on the leaves— different from sur-rounding plants. A friendtold me there is a diseasethat is affecting hostasand would like to know ifthis is a disease problemor a plant mutation?

— Alfred Koops, Wood-stock

Hostas are typicallypest- and disease-free andeasy to grow. Deer willtend to eat them. Garden-ers have historically beenable to buy and tradehostas without concern forintroducing any problemsto their gardens.

But there is a viruscalled Hosta Virus X that isbecoming more commonon hostas and is poppingup here and there at theChicago Botanic Garden.Hostas are the only knownplant to be infected by thisvirus. Hosta Virus X-in-fected plants will not re-cover, so it is important toprevent spreading thedisease to other healthyhostas in your garden.Remove any infected hostaimmediately. Dig up theplant with as many of theroots as possible and dis-card in the trash or burn it.The virus can only repro-

duce inside living hostacells, and it was originallybelieved that this viruswould not be able to sur-vive in the soil after theinfected roots had decom-posed. Some recent re-search suggests otherwise,so it is best to replace theinfected hosta with a plantother than a hosta. Thismay require you to replacea block of hosta to main-tain a good-looking plant-ing.

The symptoms of thisdisease can vary amongdifferent cultivars of hosta.Look for differences in thefoliage among the sameplants in a group. Watchfor stunted growth, dis-torted leaves and variouspatterns of leaf coloration.A classic visual symptom isblue or green markings ona light-colored leaf. Thesemarkings usually followthe leaf veins and bleed outinto surrounding tissue,resulting in a mottledappearance. A dark-leavedhosta may appear as if ithas had bleach spilled onit. The leaf tissue of in-fected plants often appearslumpy, puckered and of adifferent thickness ortexture than healthyplants. This is very difficultto discern on hostas thathave heavily texturedleaves.

Hostas may not showsymptoms for a year or

more after being infected.Visual symptoms can pro-vide an initial diagnosis,but hostas can sometimesbe virus-free, yet showviruslike symptoms. Colddamage and light frost cancause damage that appearssimilar to Hosta Virus X.

Unlike many plant vi-ruses, insects are notknown to spread this dis-ease. Any type of a me-chanical injury that movesplant fluids can transmitthis virus. This virus can bespread by pruning toolswhen cutting off old leavesor removing flower stalks.Other means of transmis-sion in the landscape in-clude string trimmers,mowers, shovels and evenmanual transmission.

Some research suggeststhat Hosta Virus X is mosteasily transmitted in thespring when hostas areactively growing, and diffi-cult, if not impossible, totransmit after a hostablooms. Thus the latesummer and fall may bethe safest time to dig anddivide plants to minimizethe spread of this virus. Besure to disinfect your toolswith rubbing alcohol orLysol.

High humidity, heat andrain create an excellentenvironment for mold tothrive. Mold is an impor-tant part of the outdoorenvironment, commonlyfound in soil and on decay-ing matter. When moldtravels indoors, however, itcan be hazardous to yourhealth.

Types of mold: Moldcomes in a variety of col-ors, including white,brown, orange, green andblack. Mold often has afurry look or resembles astringy slime, but certainmolds can also have apowdery look.

Black mold is consid-ered to be the most dan-gerous type of mold foundin homes. Black mold inyour home should beaddressed immediately toavoid potential adversereactions.

Mold grows at an ex-tremely fast pace — onemore reason to address itquickly. A mold colony canform in as little as 48 hoursfrom the initial contact amold spore makes with asurface. It doesn’t takelong for a small mold infes-tation to grow into a mas-sive and expensive prob-lem to remediate.

Worse still, once moldtakes hold in your home, itmay lay dormant untilprovided with the re-quired heat and moistureto multiply, which is whysummer is such a danger-ous time for mold. Moldtends to attach to porousitems or damp surfaces,which is why it tends toappear in cabinets, undertarps, behind furniture —or worst of all, inside walls.

Once it gets into the air,mold can cause asthma,allergic reactions, respira-tory infections and skinrashes.

How to prevent mold:Many mold remediatorswill tell you the samething: You don’t have amold problem; you have amoisture problem. Sobefore removing mold, youshould figure out thesource.

Make sure basementsare properly ventilated,which brings fresh air inand pushes water vaporout. Fix your foundationcracks and seal windowframes and doors.

Change your HVACfilters regularly, which willhelp prevent mold fromspreading through thehome.

What to do about mold:If you discover a smallerarea of mold — less than 10square feet — you canprobably tackle the jobyourself. Bleach cleaning isno longer the recom-mended cleaning method.First, be sure to wear pro-tective gear, like gloves,goggles and a respirator. Ifit’s a hard surface, removethe mold by scrubbing itwith water and detergent,or a multipurpose cleaner.

Dry the surface thor-oughly and as quickly asyou can. Any porous mate-rial affected with mold willlikely need to be removed.That material should thenbe sealed in plastic bags

before you dispose of it.After you’ve cleaned thearea, be sure to revisit thesite of the mold often tocheck for signs of addi-tional damage or moremold growth.

If it’s a larger area that’saffected, find a profes-sional who is trained todeal properly with mold.Reputable remediationexperts can advise you onthe best approach for yourparticular issue. To ensureobjectivity, if you hiresomeone to test for mold,be sure it’s not the sameperson who remediates it.

A mold remediationprofessional should con-tain the mold, remove it,and restore the affectedarea to its pre-mold condi-tion, which sometimesincludes replacing struc-tures or sealing the areawith a mold inhibitor so itwill not reappear.

Once the cleanup iscomplete, bring in anindependent third-partyinspection company toperform a clearance in-spection and certify thatthe mold has been re-moved.

Mold licensing variesfrom state to state and cityto city, so be sure anyoneyou hire has the correctlicensing, bonding andinsurance for your munici-pality.

This column was in-spired by something thathappened to my sister lastweek. She called me foradvice because she neededa tree removed from herrear yard and she didn’tknow any reliable tree-removal companies.

Perhaps you’ve been inthe same situation recentlyover a repair or other homeproject. Based on the num-ber of emails I receive eachweek, I see a growing andalarming trend of peoplewho are so busy, stressedand discombobulated thatall they want is the easybutton. They want themythical magic home im-provement fairy to floatdown out of the sky andplace the best contractor intheir driveway. That’s afantasy.

My sister subscribes tomy newsletter, and sheknows that I promote oneof the national contractorreferral networks. Here’swhat happened to my sis-ter, and it may have hap-pened to you. She filled outthe form at my website toget quotes from the pre-screened tree removalcompanies in Cincinnati.Guess what. There wasonly one in the network —or at least only one thatresponded.

The company sent anemployee who could onlyspeak a few words of Eng-

lish, the only language mysister speaks. She told me,“He stood 15 feet awayfrom the front door and justkept saying the word‘tree.’ ”

Frustrated, my sisterclosed the door on him, andI imagine he drove away. Somuch for pre-screeningprofessionals.

What’s the answer?What are you to do whenyou need a pro to fix some-thing for you?

Here are some facts tohelp you find the pros. In

almost all cities and townsthere are craftsmen andcraftswomen who do haveintegrity and who takepride in their work. It maybe a small number, butthey exist.

In most cities and townsthere are a small group oftradespeople who dothings the right way andknow to buy the best prod-ucts because failed prod-ucts on jobs make profitsdisappear.

The best contractorsand subcontractors usually

don’t advertise, nor do theybelong to the contractornetworks like HomeAdvi-sor and Angie’s List. Theydon’t have to. They getbooked out months inadvance just from word-of-mouth promotion fromtheir past satisfied custom-ers. This is an often over-looked fact.

The best contractorstypically purchase the bestproducts and materialsfrom local businesses, notgiant national brands. Thebest products and materials

are not always at the gianthome center big-boxstores. It’s amazing how amultimillion-dollar adver-tising budget can make youthink otherwise!

You’ll often find the bestproducts and materials atthe traditional lumber-yards that still exist in mostlarger cities and towns.You may also find some atthe old-fashioned hard-ware stores in your neigh-borhood.

The best contractors usethe best products because

they don’t want to have tocome back and fix some-thing. They don’t want youupset. They want to beworking on the next job,not be back at your houseredoing work.

Weeks and months be-fore you need the workdone, you need to start tofind the great contractors.Why? The great contrac-tors have a backlog of work.

You get the list of thesegreat workers when youtalk with the general man-ager of the local lumber-yards or the owners ormanagers of the local hard-ware stores. You ask thembluntly, “Please be kindenough to share with methe names of the three bestcontractors that come inhere that you would havework on your home.”

In the old days, my sisterwould have just opened theYellow Pages or looked inthe newspaper classifiedads for the names of treeremoval companies. Thosewere the reliable searchengines before the internet.

I instructed her to justtype this into an onlinesearch engine: “tree remov-al Cincinnati.” She’s cur-rently getting quotes andmaking sure they all havecurrent general liabilityinsurance and are in goodstanding with the state ofOhio’s workers’ compensa-tion program.

There is no easy button.You need to do the hardwork ahead of time if youwant to get the best work-ers in exchange for yourhard-earned money. I’msorry, but that’s the toughlove truth.

Pre-screen before hiring contractorOften best peopleare the ones who don’t advertiseBy Tim CarterTribune Content Agency

SANTA ROSA, Calif. —Construction crews haveput up the frame on CheriSharp’s new house, but shestill questions whetherrebuilding was the rightchoice after California’smost destructive wildfiretook her home in winecountry nearly a year ago.

She’s had to dip intoretirement savings to covera $300,000 shortfall in herhomeowner’s insurancecoverage. “We just kind ofthought we were takencare of,” Sharp, 54, saidabout her insurance policy.

The wildfire that torethrough Northern Cali-fornia in October 2017,killing 22 people and de-stroying more than 5,500structures, left many peo-ple in her position: under-insured and scrambling formoney to build a newhome on their property.

Santa Rosa was thehardest-hit city. But as oflate August, only nine ofnearly 2,700 single-familyhomes lost there had beenrebuilt, according to fig-ures from the city’s permit-ting office. An additional520 or so were under con-struction.

Many homeowners saythey are locked in negotia-tions with insurance com-panies for more money tocover the cost of building ahome at the edge of theSan Francisco Bay Area,where a technology boomhas sent home prices sky-rocketing. That, coupledwith competition amongneighbors for constructioncrews and materials, hasleft many homeownershundreds of thousands ofdollars in the red.

For Santa Rosa nativeAlex Apons, 34, the insur-ance shortfall on his homewas $200,000. He and hiswife wanted to stay be-cause they had a baby onthe way and both havedeep roots in the area.They used every insurance

dollar they received to payoff the mortgage of theirhome that burned. Therewas nothing left for a downpayment on construction.

“We had to drain ourbank account,” said Apons.“After everything is built,we’re looking at a monthlypayment on that loan that’s$1,000 more than what ourmortgage was before.”

Several other majorwildfires the same monthtook out thousands ofhomes elsewhere in So-noma County and in NapaCounty. As of April, nearlytwo-thirds of those firevictims wanted to rebuild,but most had yet to settleinsurance claims for theirproperty and belongings,according to a survey byUnited Policyholders, aSan Francisco-based non-profit that helps peopleunderstand their insurancepolicies. Two-thirds ofrespondents reportedbeing underinsured by anaverage of $317,000.

Insurance experts warnthat many Californianswhose homes were de-stroyed in this year’s wild-fires also will find theirpolicies will not cover thecost of a new home. So farin 2018, about 1,000 squaremiles have been scorched,more than 1,200 homeshave been destroyed, andnine people have died.

Insurance companiesvalue homes using factorsincluding their size, pur-

chase price and the priceof homes around them.Few homeowners updatetheir policies annually tokeep up with inflation,labor and material costsand home upgrades thatincrease the value. Insur-ance companies want tokeep premiums low tocompete with rivals andattract customers.

When Apons’ wife,Heather, called their insur-ance company in August torequest a new homeown-ers’ insurance quote, theagent cited a figure thatwould pay them $340,000less than the current pricetag to reconstruct theirhouse. The agent saidbetter coverage wouldraise their premium con-siderably, she recalled. “I’mlike, ‘I don’t care. I don’tever want to be underin-sured again,’ ” she said.

After massive firesacross Southern Californiain the past decade, the stateDepartment of Insurancehas found that insurancecompanies often under-stated replacement costs topotential customers andomitted or misrepresentedfees for permitting, archi-tects, labor and zoning,California Insurance Com-missioner Dave Jones said.

Jim Whittle, chief coun-sel for trade group theAmerican Insurance Asso-ciation, said it’s up to con-sumers to make sure theyhave enough insurance.
