What’s behind hues
filling Chicago skies?
Smoke from Canadian wildfires and city’s
pollution converge for otherworldly display
By Adriana Perez
Chicago Tribune
You may have been wonder-
ing about the recent vibrant,
reddish sunsets and hazy skyline
in Chicago. What’s behind these
phenomena can be traced back
to a combination of particulate
matter and smoke from Cana-
dian wildfires and pollutants that
create ground-level ozone.
These conditions have
occurred before, as recently as
last July when wildfires in the
western United States caused red
suns and moons and hazy skies to
be visible across Illinois.
While the red sun and
milky-looking skies might give
the city an otherworldly, even

The Venezuelan migrant had
been in the school for a month.
“We are so proud. We are so
thankful,” said Davila’s mother,
Marisela Adames. The family is

Why does the sun turn red?
“Why is the sky blue? Sounds
like a philosophical question, but
there’s a real reason for it,” said
Trent Ford, Illinois state clima-

Pledge
to reopen
clinics
gets tested
Johnson campaigned
on decade-long mental
health battle; will he win?
By John Byrne
Chicago Tribune
Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inau-
guration pledge to reopen Chica-
go’s city-run mental health clinics
puts him on the clock to deliver a
win for advocates who have been
waging that fight for more than a
decade.
It also sets him up to make good
on a longtime goal of one of his
strong union supporters, by creat-
ing jobs at the clinics for members
of the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Employees.
Whether he follows through
could be one of the most important
Rorschach tests on how Johnson’s
first term gets viewed.
To appreciate the existential
parameters of this fight, head back
to 2012. That’s when then-Mayor
Rahm Emanuel shuttered six of
the 12 city-run clinics.
Almost from the moment Eman-
uel announced his intention to
close the centers, patients and their
supporters commenced a series
of protests that drew attention to
what they said was the mayor’s
disregard for their well-being.
Twenty-three people were
arrested after barricading them-
selves inside a Woodlawn clinic in
2012, and protesters turned up at
Emanuel’s public events around
that time to heckle him over the
decision.
AFSCME lost dozens of posi-
tions for its members when the
clinics closed, and the union joined
in the push to reverse the decision.
It’s a fight that’s never ended.

conduct. Read it at chicagotribune.com/accuracy. is charged in a superseding
indictment filed in Octo-
ber 2020 with bribery, wire
fraud, mail fraud and lying
to the FBI. He has pleaded
not guilty.
The jury of eight women
and four men was empan-
eled at the Dirksen U.S.
Courthouse Tuesday after-
noon after more than a day
of questioning in U.S. District
Judge Steven Seeger’s court-
room. The trial is expected to
last about a week.
Prosecutors are sched-
uled to begin present-
ing witnesses Wednesday,
including current state Rep.
Robert Rita, (D-Blue Island)
and former state Rep. Tony
Munoz, a Chicago Demo-
crat.
Link, who resigned from
office before pleading guilty
to unrelated tax evasion
charges, could take the
witness stand in the after-
noon.
It’s a trial filled with
political intrigue, both in
the lineup of current and
former elected officials
expected to testify as well
as the backdrop of ongoing
federal investigations swirl-
ing around Weiss’ associates,
including the Cook County
assessor’s office that Joseph
Berrios once helmed.
One name not on the
witness list is Arroyo, who
pleaded guilty to his role
in the alleged scheme but
did not agree to cooperate
with prosecutors. Seeger
sentenced Arroyo to nearly
five years in prison last year,
calling him a “corruption
superspreader.”
The case centers on the
largely uncharted world
of sweepstakes machines,
sometimes called “gray
machines,” which allow
customers to put in money,
receive a coupon to redeem
for merchandise online and
then play electronic games
like slot machines.
Since the machines can
be played for free, they are
not considered gambling
devices. Critics, however,
contend the unregulated
devices, which operate in
cities, including Chicago,
that have banned video
gambling, are designed to
skirt the law.
The indictment alleges
Weiss paid bribes to Arroyo
beginning in Novem-
ber 2018 in exchange for
Arroyo’s promotion of legis-
lation beneficial to Weiss’
company, Collage LLC,
which specialized in the
sweepstakes machines. The
bribes were paid via off-the-
books lobbying payments
to Arroyo’s consulting firm,
Spartacus 3 LLC, according
to the charges.
In her opening state-
ment, O’Neill said that
Weiss desperately wanted
the state’s massive gambling
expansion bill to include
language explicitly legalizing
sweepstakes machines, but it
was left out of the proposal in
the 2019 spring session.
“Instead of giving up, the
defendant doubled down,”
she said.
That August, Arroyo
arranged a meeting between
Weiss and Link, who was
the chief sponsor of the
gambling legislation, at
Wendy’s restaurant in High-
land Park to discuss intro-
ducing a sweepstakes bill in
the fall veto session, O’Neill
said.
“This was no ordinary or
legitimate business meet-
ing,” O’Neill said. What
Weiss and Arroyo did not
know was that Link was
cooperating with the FBI
and secretly recorded the
meeting, she said.
During the meeting,
Arroyo said he was going
to introduce a “trailer bill”
in the veto session expand-
ing the use of sweepstakes
games and offered to make
periodic payments to Link
in exchange for his support,
according to the charges.
“I would like for you
to carry the bill,” Arroyo
allegedly told Link. “I don’t
have nobody in the Senate.”
Three weeks later, Link
was again wearing an FBI
wire when Arroyo allegedly
delivered the first of the
promised $2,500 checks at
a pancake house in Skokie,
O’Neill said. Arroyo and
Weiss had driven to the
meeting together, but Weiss
stayed in the car.
“This is, this is the jack-
pot,” Arroyo allegedly told
Link as he handed over the
check. Additional monthly
$2,500 payments were
expected to be made over the
next six to 12 months, federal
authorities alleged.
O’Neill said that at the
direction of the FBI, Link
had them make the check
out to a purported associate
named “Katherine Hunter,”
who didn’t actually exist.
When Weiss was later
questioned by agents, he
lied and said Hunter was
a a lobbyist who lived in
Winnetka and that he’d
spoken to her on the phone,
O’Neill said.
Sorosky, however, said
Weiss did not intentionally
lie to any federal official.
Instead, during a “surprise”
interview, he “did his best
to cooperate with the FBI
agent and tell the FBI agent
the truth as best as he knew
it,” Sorosky said.
Sorosky said Weiss first
hired Arroyo as a consul-
tant to help fight a proposal
by then-Ald. Patrick O’Con-
nor to ban sweepstakes
machines in Chicago. “That’s
perfectly legal,” he said.
“That’s not a crime.”
As far as the alleged
scheme involving Link,
Sorosky said Weiss had
no knowledge of it, noting
that the two legislators had
excused themselves for a
private conversation at the
pancake house when the
bribe was discussed on tape.
It was Link himself who
introduced the bribe when,
under the direction of the
FBI, he asked Arroyo, “what’s
in it for me,” Sorosky said.
“Jim Weiss didn’t come
to this meeting to bribe Sen.
Link,” Sorosky said. “He
came to this meeting to try
to save his business.”

CHICAGOLAND
Trial starts for
man charged in
fatal shooting
Attorney says he ‘hatched a
plan’ to kill pregnant woman
By Madeline Buckley
Chicago Tribune

In the months leading

up to her shooting death,
Stacey Jones, a Cook
County probation officer
who was eight months
pregnant, told family and
friends that the father of
her unborn child threat-
ened her and told her he
didn’t want more children,
prosecutors alleged.
But when she didn’t
get an abortion, Corey
Deering, the father, who
was married to another
woman, “hatched a plan”
to end her life, along with
that of her child, Cook
County Assistant State’s
Attorney Michelle Papa
alleged during opening
statements Tuesday at the
Leighton Criminal Court
Building.
Deering, 42, is stand-
ing trial on two counts of
murder in the fatal shoot-
ing of Jones, 35, and the
death of the infant, known
as Baby Boy Harrison, who
doctors delivered after the
attack but who only lived
for four days.
Prosecutors began
presenting witnesses
Tuesday, as emotional
family members sat in the
gallery.
“Stacey Jones did not
live to see the birth of her
baby,” Papa said. “Stacey
was left there bleeding,
dying on the front step of
her home.”
Prosecutors accused
Deering of shooting
Jones three times in the
back around midnight on
Oct. 13, 2020, outside of
her Jeffery Manor home,
while Jones’ two sons, then
7 and 11, slept inside. They
said he was driven to the
home by Camelia Black-
mond, another woman
he was involved with who
was also pregnant with his
child.
Deering ’s attorney
Patrick Campanelli,
though, pointed the finger
at Blackmond, who he said
had a motive as a romantic
rival of Jones. Campanelli
said his client was a youth
football coach and has 12
children.
“She was wiping out the
competition,” Campanelli
said of Blackmond, who
gave birth to Deering’s
daughter two days after
Jones’ death.
Earlier in the evening
on Oct. 12, Papa alleged,
Deering called Black-
mond and asked for a
ride. Deering told her to
park a little distance from
Jones’ house, and got out
of the vehicle, Papa said.
Blackmond then heard
the gunshots, prosecu-
tors said.
Through tears, Black-
Stacey Jones, 35, was eight
months pregnant when she
was shot three times in the
back around midnight on
Oct. 13, 2020. She was killed
and her baby died four days
later. COURTESY
mond told the jury she
didn’t know why Deer-
ing asked her for a ride or
where he was directing her
to drive.
In her opening state-
ment, Papa said Deering
was lurking outside when
something caught Jones’
attention, so she put her
gun in her pajama pants
and went to look outside.
Jones and Deering inter-
acted, Papa said, and he
shot her in the back when
she turned away from
him.
Emergency responders
found Jones unresponsive,
Papa said, but doctors were
able to deliver her son
alive. The baby died Oct.
17, 2020. In a photo shown
to the jury, Baby Boy Harri-
son was swaddled in a blue
blanket.
Papa said the medical
examiner’s office deter-
mined the boy died due to
lack of oxygen caused by
his mother’s death.
During his opening
statement, Campanelli told
the jury the prosecutors’
case centers around Black-
mond, a “woman scorned.”
He said no fingerprints or
DNA tie Deering to the
scene of the shooting.
“You may not like my
client, but it doesn’t make
him a murderer,” he said.
Both Blackmond
and Jones met Deering
through the youth football
program at Ogden Park in
Englewood, where their
sons played, prosecutors
said. Jones’ uncle Bryant
Jones sobbed through
his testimony, telling the
jury he introduced Jones
to Deering after hearing
about the football program
and suggesting her boys
get involved.
Prosecutors said Deer-
ing did not want Jones to
proceed with the preg-
nancy, and that she told
friends she was scared for
her life because of it.
“When the defendant
told Stacey Jones he wasn’t
having no more kids, he
meant it,” Papa said.

it, and it goes in all direc-
tions.”
Because blue light has
the shortest wavelength,
it’s scattered the most effec-
tively. But a high concentra-
tion of particulate matter
in the air, which may travel
from faraway fires carried
by the wind, allows longer
wavelengths of orange and
red light to scatter around
as well. Recent dust storms
have also caused vibrant,
colorful sunrises and sunsets
in the state as well.
Ozone is invisible, but
the pollutants that produce
it — particularly nitrogen
oxides — can cause a brown-
ish haze in the sky, accord-
ing to Brian Urbaszewsk,
director of environmen-
tal health programs at the
Chicago-based Respiratory
Health Association.
“You’re getting the smoke
particles, but you’re also
getting the nitrogen oxides,”
Urbaszewsk said. “So there’s
a bunch of overlapping
circles here. So it’s not one
or the other … but I think
it’s pretty safe to say most
of what is called visible air
quality that people are notic-
ing is wildfire-driven.”
G ro u n d - l eve l ozone:
Ground-level ozone is
different from the naturally
occurring ozone layer found
higher up in the atmosphere,
or stratosphere.
It is produced when
two types of pollut-
ants — organic chemical
compounds, which are
produced in the manu-
facture of products like
paint, pharmaceuticals
and refrigerants, and nitro-
gen oxides from diesel and
gasoline engines — react
in sunlight. That means
that ground-level ozone is
produced more effectively
and concentrates more in
hot, dry and still weather.
And Chicago just had its
driest May in decades, and
the fourth driest ever.
Natural ozone is bene-
ficial because it protects
humans from the sun’s
harmful ultraviolet rays. But
ground-level ozone can have
a variety of adverse impacts
on human health.
Urbaszewsk said when
a person inhales ozone, it
chemically burns the throat,
airways and lungs, which
leads to swelling. This can
cause shortness of breath,
asthma attacks, coughing,
chest pains and throat irri-
tation.
“Ozone was the main
problem before this
past weekend, as higher
temperatures and a lot of
sun and low winds simply
cooked everything we were
putting up already to make
ozone,” said Urbaszewsk.
“Likely some of the smoke
from … Canada helped
generate more ozone, but
we put up a lot of air pollu-

Movement, which worked
with patients to spear-
head protests against the

sor in the Department of
Afro-American Studies at
the University of Massachu-
setts at Amherst, Losier said
he’s struck by how the fight
to reopen the clinics has
remained potent for over a
decade.
“What’s really amazed
me has been the degree to
which the question of the
closure of the clinics and
the struggle around trying to
prevent that has remained
fixed in people’s political
imagination in the 10 years
since,” he said.
It remains to be seen
whether Johnson will follow

ics and his inauguration

Chicagoans get the mental
health care they need,
“including reopening our
mental health care centers
across the city of Chicago.”
A Johnson spokesman
declined to comment on the
administration’s plans for
the mental health clinics.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot
likewise campaigned in
2019 to reopen the city-run
facilities, only to back away
from the pledge when she
won, saying it made more
sense to boost funding to a
broad array of mental health
nonprofits. She increased
mental health spending to
$89 million as part of her
2023 city budget.

well as downstate that make
a lot of ozone even without
wildfires.”
For Ford, these air quality
issues in Illinois underscore
“how connected things are.”
The high-pressure system
and stillness of winds have
caused drought and helped
increase ground-level ozone.
The same atmospheric
patterns are also bringing
in dominant airflow from
the wildfires thousands
of miles away in Canada,
which carries PM2.5, or
particulate matter smaller
or equal to 2.5 micrometers.
For comparison, the width
of a human hair is about 80
micrometers.
PM2.5 is produced by
sources such as vehicle
exhaust and industry emis-
sions as well as forest fires.
But Johnson faces a much
different political base than
Lightfoot did, with progres-
sive grassroots organiz-
ers and union activists
who expect him to deliver
on their priorities, noted
Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle, a
co-founder of Southside
Together Organizing for
Power, a group that played
an important role in fighting
the clinic closures.
“What I’m excited about
with this political moment
— don’t get me wrong, I
love Brandon, Mayor John-
son, I think he’s a great guy
— but what gets me excited
is not him and his person-
ality as much as the struc-
tural pressures upon him,”
Ginsberg-Jaeckle said.
“The same things, to be
frank, that are causing such
alarm among those who
like to, who are generally in
Naperville and like to throw
bombs at city politics, are
the same things that have
me excited.”
AFSCME has been a
strong Johnson supporter.
The AFSCME Interna-
tional Union PAC contrib-
uted $100,000 to his
mayoral campaign this year
ahead of the April runoff
election, according to state
campaign finance records.
And AFSCME Illinois Coun-
cil 31’s PAC contributed
$56,750 to Johnson in 2018
during his successful run for
Cook County commissioner.
AFSCME Council 31
spokesman Anders Lindall
said the union doesn’t back
candidates because they
expect a quid pro quo. “We
support candidates who
have the right position on
our issues, not the other way
Particulate matter from
wildfires: In an average
year to this date, a square
mile would’ve been burned
by wildfires in the Cana-
dian province of Quebec.
But this year, 600 square
miles had already burned
as of Monday. According
to Quebec’s fire prevention
agency, this is the result of
high temperatures and dry
conditions.
These wildfires — more
than 150 in Quebec, accord-
ing to NASA — are having
far-reaching consequences
that cross borders and have
affected states as far south
as Virginia. The Illinois
Environmental Protection
Agency issued a statewide
alert last week that air qual-
ity through Monday would
be “unhealthy for sensitive
groups.”

around,” he said.
“And the other thing
is, Mayor Lightfoot
campaigned on (reopening
the clinics) four years ago,
and we did not endorse Lori
Lightfoot,” Lindall contin-
ued. ”That wasn’t a political
consideration. And Bran-
don Johnson campaigned
on it this time around and
we remained neutral in the
(mayoral) primary. So this
is really about the policy for
us.”
The need to reopen the
clinics has become more
commonly accepted over
the past decade, Lindall said,
making it easier for Johnson
to do so.
“This is not happening
overnight, and I certainly
think the new mayor alone is
not out on an island,” Lindall
said. “But there has been a
growing consensus to the
point that I think it’s prob-
ably difficult to find a lot of
people today that would not
The Illinois EPA provides
daily air quality readings
based on the Air Quality
Index for 14 regions across
the state. The index is a
color-coded system that
classifies air quality from
good to hazardous.
According to the agency,
the Chicago area’s air ranked
good only one day in the
past two weeks. During that
time, the main challenge was
ozone smog, as Urbasze-
wsk said. But in the past
few days, PM2.5 produced
by wildfire smoke has been
the main driver of air qual-
ity index readings, he added.

say that the 2012 closures
were a mistake.”
Lindall argued the clinics
provide much more consis-
tent care in part because
they can, in most cases, pay
better salaries and offer
better benefits than private
providers that experience a
lot of staff turnover.
And he said there’s better
transparency when the city
is running the facilities,
allowing the public to see
what kind of care patients
are receiving and how funds
are being spent.
“When the city is provid-
ing the services, we know
who is being served, when,
how and by whom,” Lindall
said. “And the accountabil-
ity is direct. CDPH (Chicago
Department of Public
Health) has a management
structure, the agency head
reports to the mayor and the
City Council has the legisla-
tive oversight of all of that.”
Lindall said nonprofits
area being PM2.5. As dry
conditions continue in Illi-
nois, the state is also at risk
for drought and fires.
“Over time, the science
has shown that it’s really
the smallest particles doing
the most damage,” mainly
because the human body
is not that good at filtering
out really small particles,
Urbaszewsk said. “They’re
the most connected with
bad health outcomes. They
also go the deepest in the
lungs.”
Initially, particulate
matter may cause burning
eyes and a runny nose. But
once in the deepest portions
of the lungs, it can cross into
the bloodstream, messing
with blood chemistry and
causing heart stoppages.
Fine particulate matter has
also been linked to prema-
ture births, diabetes and
even dementia, Urbasze-
wsk said.
“There are deaths from
ozone, and there are deaths
caused by fine particulate
matter. It’s about 10 to 1,”
he said. “Ozone deaths have
generally been in the few
thousands a year nationally.
When you’re looking at fine
particulate matter-generated
deaths from air pollution,
it’s tens of thousands. So it’s
much more dangerous.”
Though projections indi-
cate longer and more intense
wildfire seasons in North
America over the next few
decades, Ford said, there’s
no way to say how this will
affect air quality.
“What that means for
our air quality here is really
uncertain,” he said. “I’ve
seen some discussion of
more wildfires in West-
have a role to play too.
“It’s definitely not an
‘either-or’ situation,” he
said. “The level of unmet
need in our city is such that
it’s ‘both-and.’ ”
There are “around 70”
AFSCME -represented
mental health worker
positions currently on the
city payroll, including 62
employees working at the
remaining five city-run
clinics who also conduct
mental health outreach in
Chicago libraries. Five other
city workers represented by
AFSCME serve as mental
health co-responders with
police.
That’s down from 92 posi-
tions when 12 clinics were
operating, Lindall said.
The Cook County Health
Department took over the
sixth remaining city clinic,
in Roseland, beginning in
2017. That one is now run by
a private company, with the
county putting in $800,000
annually, according to a
county health department
spokeswoman.
The city clinics see just a
small fraction of the number
of people in Chicago who
receive mental health
services.
According to the Chicago
Department of Public
Health, city clinics served
1,782 patients in 2022 while
there were 73,899 patients
served citywide at city clin-
ics and the various nonprofit
agencies and other mental

— does that mean more of

it’s really hard to say, it really

Staying safe and healthy:
In order to reduce health
risks when air quality read-
ings show high concentra-
tions of ground-level ozone
or fine particulate matter,
people can opt for less
intense outdoor activities,
shorten or take more breaks
during outdoor activities,
reschedule activities to the
morning or evening when
ozone is lower, or move
outdoor activities inside.
Even if you’re inside,
you should keep indoor air
clean. Don’t use wood fire-
places, gas logs, gas stoves
or candles, and don’t smoke.
Don’t vacuum, either, since
that stirs up particles that
are already inside. Run the
air conditioner if you have
one, keeping the fresh air
intake closed and the filter
clean.
“Knowledge is power,
basically,” Urbaszewsk
said. “So take it easy, stay
hydrated, don’t overexert
yourself. Especially on that
day. And of course, follow
your doctor’s advice in terms
of medication and other
things.”
Citizens can stay up to
date regarding air quality in
their area by visiting the U.S.
EPA’s AirNow.gov website.

pandemic.
Alexa James, chief exec-
utive officer of the National
Alliance on Mental Illness
Chicago and a member of
the Johnson postelection
transition team’s Health &
Human Services Subcom-
mittee, said the city needs
to be nimble to deal with
the crisis.
“If you look nationally
at city health departments,
they have learned that
being their own provider is
complicated, because they
haven’t found that they have
the flexibility to innovate,
and that just being a clin-
ic-based care center, we’ve
all learned through a lot of
work, that integrated health
systems, meeting people
where they are … is really the
way to create more trust in
the mental health system,”
said James, whose nonprofit
receives city funding to help
pay for a mental health help-
line.
Reopening the city-run
clinics would buck that
trend, she said.
“City health depart-
ments nationally have really
stopped becoming provid-
ers,” James said. “They’re
really gap-fillers, they’re
funders, they’re conveners.
What I’m understanding
from this administration is
they may want to change
that agenda, they may want
to get back into the provider
business … There’s definitely
strong opinions on either
side, but what we believe is
that sharing costs with the
state, the county and the city
is going to give us more bang
for our buck.”

Student gradation rights bill goes to Pritzker
% By Gloria Casas
For Courier-News
Legislation awaiting the
governor’s signature could
prevent situations like the
one in which a South Elgin
High School student was
told to remove a Hispanic
academic scholarship stole
the day of her commence-
ment ceremony.
State Sen. Cristina Castro,
D-Elgin, is the chief co-spon-
sor of a bill introduced in
February that addresses the
issue and ensures students
have a right to wear stoles,
sashes or cords related to
their “cultural, ethnic or reli-
gious” identities.
The legislation was
written and sponsored by
Sen. Suzy Glowiak Hilton,
D-Oakbrook Terrace, in
response to an incident
last year in which an Evan-

dress code policies “shall not
prohibit the right of a student
to wear or accessorize the
student’s graduation attire
with items associated with
the student’s cultural, ethnic
or religious identity or any
other protected character-
istic or category identified
in the Illinois Human Rights
Act.”
Items deemed obscene or
derogatory toward others
are prohibited, according to
the bill.
Castro said the bill is
meant to guide school
districts to avoid these types
of situations in the future.
Because Gov. J.B. Pritz-
ker has not yet signed it, the
legislation could not have
helped South Elgin High
School graduate Stepha-
nie Pedroza, who was told
to take off the stole she
received from the Elgin
Hispanic Network in honor
of a scholarship she won and
her Mexican heritage.
A high school dean told
Pedroza she had to remove
the accessory if she wanted
to participate in the May 27
graduation ceremony at the
NOW Arena in Hoffman
Estates.
She was told School
District U-46 had a strict
policy against wearing such
attire but district officials
later said the decision was up
to individual high schools.
South Elgin allows students
to wear stoles not provided
by the school if a student
asks permission beforehand,
something Pedroza was not
told, she said.
“Intentionally or uninten-
tionally, it impacts someone’s
day in their life that they only
get one time,” Castro said.
Castro is a former Elgin
Hispanic Network official
who has been involved with
the organization’s scholar-
ship committee. This was the
first year the network gave
stoles to scholarship recip-
ients, she said. “It identifies
with the Latino culture,” she
said.
School districts have
students from many differ-
ent cultures who want to
honor their heritage at
graduation, Castro said. It’s
especially important for
first generation students
like Pedroza to honor their
family, who often make
many sacrifices to help them
achieve academic mile-
stones, she said.
“As long as it’s not offen-
sive, why would we tell a
student not to show their
appreciation?” Castro said.
U-46 Superintendent
Suzanne Johnson read
a statement at Monday’s
School Board meeting in
which she apologized to
Pedroza on the district’s
behalf.
“The feedback and atten-
tion from the community has
been heard,” Johnson said.
“We appreciate everyone’s
engagement and advocacy
on this matter. I would like to
express on behalf of School
District U-46 our sincere
apologies for the distress
caused to Stephanie.”

committee announced its newest
endeavor, and arguably its most
challenging — to make a serious
dent in Chicago’s gun violence.
The benchmarks for success
that the committee has set are
lofty, to say the least. In five years,
the group wants to bring down
the yearly number of Chicago

peak of 804 in 2021. In 10 years, it
wants that number brought down

Summer in Chicago invari-

This past weekend serves as
a perfect example. The city was

Migrant crisis gives Chicago

diversity a stress test
Clarence Page
America’s latest migrant crisis has
come to Chicago and, in an unfortu-
nately Chicago-style way, threatens to
reopen old divisions over race, ethnic-
ity and whether new arrivals might be
getting helped before others in need
who are already here.
With migrant families sleeping on
the floor of police stations and the city
running out of space and resources
for the unhoused, the City Council
approved $51 million in migrant aid
last week, after considerable shouting
and gnashing of teeth.
A week earlier, three conservative
aldermen who opposed the measure
temporarily blocked a final vote
during Mayor Brandon Johnson’s first
City Council meeting May 24. This
time, after it was reintroduced during
last Wednesday’s meeting, the appro-
priation passed 34-13.
But not before opponents in the
council gallery repeatedly booed back-
ers of the funding measure during the
public comment period and during
the formal debate, despite Johnson’s
efforts to restore decorum.
Emotions ran high as citizens and
activists expressed anger and fear over
the possibility that millions of dollars
might be spent on temporary shelters
for new migrants before doing more
to address existing problems of the
unhoused.
But as debate ended, I appreciated
South Side Ald. Jeanette Taylor, 20th,
for pointing out tearfully that this
dispute should not be seen as a conflict
between Black Chicagoans and the
mostly South American migrants.
“Hurt people don’t hurt people,” she
said repeatedly.
“It’s right to want to help other
people, because as Black people, that’s
what we do,” she said. “But, when the
hell are y’all gonna help us? When?”
That’s not an unreasonable ques-
tion. Former Mayor Lori Lightfoot
failed to be reelected partly because
of her widely perceived slowness in
responding to concerns such as those
Taylor referenced.
But, history in this city, built by
waves of immigrant laborers and lead-
ers, shows that Chicago — like Amer-
ica — prospers when its people work
together for mutual benefit and avoid
divisive quarrels over “where’s mine?”
Just as Lightfoot was ending her
tenure, the city was hit with a sudden
surge of migrants who have been
bused or flown from southern states to
Chicago and brought to police stations
to await shelter beds.
City officials and volunteers say
the responses has been spotty, as the
new arrivals came without warning or
preparation. Of course, that was part
of the argument that Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott and other mostly Republican
governors gave when they began send-
ing migrants to Democrat-run cities to
protest federal immigration policies.
Fortunately the number of migrants
stopped by the Border Patrol after
illegally crossing the southern border
has fallen from more than 10,000 a day
to about 3,000, despite predictions of
a surge after the Title 42 COVID ban
ended May 11. The decline has been
attributed to such factors as tougher
penalties and more deportations after
Title 42 was lifted.
For now, it remains to be seen
whether Johnson or Gov. J.B. Pritzker
might want to follow the lead of Cali-
fornia Gov. Gavin Newsom in protest-
ing the migrants sent to his state.
Ramping up his own long-running
feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSan-
tis, Newsom, a Democrat, strongly
hinted that the Republican presiden-
tial hopeful could face kidnapping
charges.
After a group of South American
migrants were sent unannounced to
Sacramento in an apparent public-
ity stunt, Newsom cited California
kidnapping laws in a snarky tweet
directed at DeSantis, saying, “This
isn’t Martha’s Vineyard. Kidnapping
charges?”
That was an apparent reference to
DeSantis’ stunt last year of sending a
group of Venezuelan migrants to the
wealthy liberal Massachusetts vaca-
tion spot. Newsom said his admin-
istration is working with his state
Department of Justice to “investigate
the circumstances around” who paid
for the plane trips.
While I appreciate Newsom’s
desire to express as much mockery
as DeSantis’ antics deserved, I’m not
delighted to see migrants seeking
refuge under international protections
for asylum-seekers being used, once
again, as pawns by politicians. They
deserve better.
And Chicago, along with other
Americans, deserves to have a better
immigration policy than what we have
seen since the last major overhaul
in the mid-1980s. Unfortunately too
many political leaders in both parties
seem to care less about our broken
borders than about having the issue as
a cudgel to beat up the other side.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

Column unfair to Kissinger
Responding to Elizabeth Shackelford’s recent assess-
ment of Henry Kissinger as secretary of state during a
particularly difficult time in America (“Kissinger’s hideous
legacy haunts US role in the world,” June 2), I applaud her
for a fair assessment of foreign policy that occurred when
the world was in the midst of global strife long before
“global”-anything was a daily headline. I also have this to
offer.
She looks back and offers a critical assessment of what
should have, could have, would have been done, if only. I
challenge Shackelford with the question: What would she
have done?
We can all look back with a critical eye and post an opin-
ion that bombards others with an assessment of anyone,
in this case Henry Kissinger as he turns 100 years old,
because what was done was wrong, not politically correct.
For instance: Columbus was a fiend. Daniel Boone was a
nemesis to Native Americans. Who else?
Was Shackelford there? What would she have done
things differently knowing the choices she made were
going to have consequences?
When putting into context the role of Kissinger, please
be mindful that time did not allow for months of meetings,
focus groups and man-on-the-street interviews. These
were difficult decisions, and in hindsight, right or wrong,
the decisions were made, and there were consequences.
Political affiliations aside, there was blood everywhere.
Vietnam was a tragedy never to be forgotten or erased
from history.
I would challenge Shackelford to run for office and
change the world. Was Kissinger correct in his deci-
sion-making? No, not always. Is any politician correct?
Being in those shoes is a tough role, one in which
enemies are made. People die. Boys become men. Women
become widows, and children lose their fathers.
Please step up to the plate.

Aldermen’s expense records
Tribune reporter Alex Harrison’s story “A perk for
ex-Park District official” (June 5) contains the sentence,
“The payments came from little-known aldermanic
expense allowances, which have grown steadily over
the years and now provide each of the city’s 50 council
members $122,000 annually to spend on almost anything
they want with little oversight.”
When I was an assistant legislative inspector general
for the city of Chicago, the office’s duties by ordinance
were to “receive and investigate complaints of miscon-
duct against aldermen and city council employees.”
Back then, from 2012 to 2016, for the short period the
office existed before aldermen voted it out of existence,
researching aldermen’s expense accounts was on the top
of our list, and we found many improprieties. While we
were given a printout of an alderman’s expense account
spending, we still needed to verify what we found by
checking the actual receipts.
At that time, aldermen’s expense account receipts and
request for payment reports were kept in shoe boxes
on giant bookcases in a large, dark, dusty storage area
in City Hall. We would have to dig through those boxes,
see expense requests that seemed wrong, photocopy the
receipt and put it back in the shoe box.
While I assume that now the expense account reports
and receipts are scanned and available online for investi-
gation by the city’s inspector general’s office, I wonder if
there is an employee of that office who checks the expense
accounts monthly?
I suggest that organizations like the Better Government
Association devote time to look at those monthly expense
records to research how aldermen are spending their
$122,000 stipend not just for questionable expenses but
also for “interesting” expenses. Once when I was research-
ing a particular alderman’s expense spending, there were
many meals with receipts from Hooters. Interesting.
— Kathy Posner, Chicago
Social connections and jobs
Willie Wilson’s excellent column on Black youth
unemployment offers specific recommendations to
address this generations-long problem (“Unions can
help reduce city’s violence with apprenticeships, jobs,”
June 1). But it has a glaring omission: the “family busi-
ness” factor. Not only in the blue-collar sector, but also
most prominently there, children follow in their parents’
career paths. Police work, firefighting, even elected office
is passed down, along with jobs as carpenters, plumbers,
electricians and other occupations, even unionized ones
with apprentice programs.
In another, loftier realm, “legacy admissions” are a long-
time fixture in Ivy League and other educational institu-
tions. Because status and inheritance weigh in, so should
racial and ethnic quotas, arguably. Across our society,
personal connections count for more than personal qual-
ifications. Famously, a Chicago machine minion in the old
days supposedly said, “We don’t want nobody (sic) nobody
sent.”
Because this is so deeply embedded in our culture, find-
ing a fix is very difficult, and making it happen would be
even harder. But recognizing and owning our complicity
in the problem is the start. Then, consciously setting aside
preference favoring “my kind” when recruiting young
people for job training would make a real difference over
time, for all of us.
Take the thumb off the scales of justice and equity.

Chicago should follow other cities,
protect against unjust evictions
By Dominic Voz
The idea that a ZIP code and
even a street address tell a predic-
tive story about the quality of an
American’s life is an idea reach-
ing critical consciousness around
the world. As public health arti-
cles routinely posit, the ZIP code
may trump the genetic code in its
determinacy of lifelong wellness
and opportunity.
We are also awakening to the
fact that it is not just where we
live, but how we live, that deter-
mines our access to healthy space,
our resiliency from displacement
and our feeling of belonging. The
White House’s recent Blueprint
for a Renter’s Bill of Rights shows
that Washington is taking cues on
this topic from a force of tenant
activists, angered by the unequal
ravages of the pandemic.
Race, as always, plays a major
role. Not only are Black and
brown people much more likely
to live in unhealthy or even toxic
residential conditions, but they
are also evicted at much higher
rates than white people nation-
wide. Though the issue may be
complex, displacement and rising
costs have undoubtedly contrib-
uted to the “New Great Migra-
tion,” which sees major cities
such as Chicago losing Black resi-
dents at a record clip.
The upstream legal structures
that govern where and how we
live are a web of federal, state
and local laws. But perhaps most
proximate to residents’ day to day
lives is the municipal or regional
“landlord tenant ordinance.”
These laws govern how much
landlords can require for fees,
what they can put in their leases,
how they manage late payments
and eviction, what repairs must
be made and how, and more.
Recently, Evanston’s Housing
and Community Development
Committee, or HCDC, began
to debate the future of landlord
tenant relations in the city. Its
next meeting will take place on
June 20. Local fair housing and
legal aid groups, including Open
Communities, have advised
the city on potential ways to
strengthen its existing Residen-
tial Landlord Tenant Ordinance,
or RLTO.
The city has been quietly
debating whether to follow in
the footsteps of tenant revolu-
tions in cities such as Los Angeles,
Portland and St. Paul, Minneap-
olis, or whether to seek to only
strengthen modest floors of rent-
er’s rights.
I would’ve never pursued a musical theater career without ChiArts
By Kyrie Courter
In the midst of graduation
season, I have been reflecting
on my own Chicago commence-
ments that have led me where
I am honored to be today — on
a Broadway stage in the cast of
“Sweeney Todd.”
My first graduation in Chicago
marked both a major change in
the trajectory of my arts career
and the future of our city’s arts
community. As I was among
the first graduating class at The
Chicago High School for the
Arts (ChiArts) in 2013, I had the
unique opportunity of experi-
encing Chicago’s first public arts
high school during its beginnings.
After my family moved to Hyde
Park during my junior year, I
transferred to ChiArts with a love
of singing and experience with
set building.
Arriving at ChiArts, I felt as
if everybody knew everything
about musical theater — so I
knew I had to catch up. I felt this
fire ignited under me to put in
the extra work to understand
what I was studying and really be
creative about the assignments
that ChiArts teachers were giving
me. I noticed that my fellow class-
mates seemed inspired by each
other, and it was a refreshing
change from my previous experi-
ences in education.
I would have never pursued a
career in musical theater without
my education. ChiArts showed me
that a future in the arts truly can
be a “real” career, and a big part of
that was the hands-on experience
with the arts faculty and guests
brought in who were all working
professionals in the arts. That’s
when it hit me that I really could
develop my future in theater.

The nationwide
housing affordability
crisis fuels a multitude
of devastating
downstream impacts,
including homelessness
and toxic stress.
The aforementioned cities
have radically shifted the power
dynamics in recent years, enact-
ing just cause for eviction laws,
limiting the use of credit scores
and background checks, mandat-
ing advanced notice of sales and
providing tenants with greater
notice periods and even ceilings
on rent increases as Oregon did in
2019 (and as Illinois’ constitution
continues to preempt).
If Evanston is wise, it will seek
the revolutionary road. Not for
the sake of abstract progressiv-
ism or to simply follow the pack,
but to continue the vital work
of repairing a broken system.
Almost 50% of Evanston rent-

the Performing Arts, I started my
career in theater here in Chicago,
moving from roles at Steppen-
wolf Theatre, Goodman Theatre’s
production of “School Girls; Or,
The African Mean Girls Play!,”
Drury Lane Theatre’s “The Color
Purple,” Writers Theatre’s “Next
to Normal,” Porchlight Music
Theatre’s “Dreamgirls” and many
more productions before I moved
to New York.
During my time working in
theater in Chicago, I learned a
lot about trusting myself and
the tools I’d gained through-
out my education. I learned that
my excellence won’t look like

ted to my own personal craft and

ing they spend more than 30%
of their income on rent. Many
spend more than half. Given
economic stratification by race, it
is no surprise that Evanston, too,
is witnessing a reduction in its
population of color.
What dismal irony it would
be to see the city that passed the
nation’s first local reparations
ordinance continue to lose 27%
of Black residents every 20 years
due to high costs, displacement
and needless instability.
The hurt is everywhere,
however, as the nationwide hous-

multitude of devastating down-
stream impacts, including home-
lessness and toxic stress. Lost
your job and are short on rent?
The late fees will turn the knife.
Your landlord wants to flip the
unit or doesn’t like your kids?
See your nonrenewal notice on
the door. Can’t move your family
in 30 days? Risk an eviction, the
“scarlet E.” These are the every-
day concerns of low- and even
moderate-income renters.
In 2021, regional advocates
it — always approaching my work
with my own vessel as my guide.
I became very comfortable with
understanding my artistry, and
the shapes and colors in my own
toolbox, and I continue to hone
them so that I am less inclined to
compare my tools with someone
else’s.
Even if I’m using the same
color as someone else, we may
be using it differently; mine may
be like a permanent marker and
theirs, a colored pencil.
My time in Chicago theater
motivated me to become a life-

self-mastery, but it also inspired

pursuit of knowledge and growth
with sustainability and ease. I

worked with a progressive Board
of Commissioners to pass Cook
County’s RTLO, providing some
basic floors and ceilings to resi-
dents. Many of the same advo-
cates helped pass the countywide
Just Housing Amendment in
2019 — one of the nation’s most
robust protections for people
with records in the housing
context.
These laws represent immense
strides toward a more just rental
market, but tenant advocates are
far from done.
Throughout Chicago-
land, tenants can be evicted or
told their leases are not being
renewed without any good cause,
leaving them subject to landlord
whims. Outside Chicago, tenants
are provided meager notice for
rent increases. Numeric scores
are used as a scapegoat for
denying tenants on prejudicial
grounds. Even tenants who may
have excellent rental histories are
reduced to a crude risk calcula-
tion based on problematic data.

with groups such as the Chicago

on trusting myself and my capa-
bilities enough to say, “I know
I can do this because I can, and
I don’t need to prove myself to
anyone. I can perform my tasks
with technique and truth, and I
don’t need to push myself past a
sustainable limit.” Preserving this
mentality is a daily challenge and
is only made more challenging
as a Black woman being typecast
and being told what stories I can
or can’t tell because of my genetic
makeup.
I’ve learned that I control the
narrative and I can tell many
stories in whatever way I know
how. I took these lessons from my
ChiArts and Roosevelt education
and my time in the Chicago arts
world into New York City and
my time here on Broadway now.

In many ways, the project of

Even in my audition process for
“Sweeney Todd,” I knew I needed
to remember that it’s never about
just booking the job — it’s about
telling the story. It’s about tapping
into your own authentic artistic
expression, which will get you
further in the booking process
than worrying about whether
or not you’ll book it every single
time.
Tapping into that joy and love
for what I do has been the origin
of my artistry — given that it was
first my passion that, in turn,
became my profession.
I owe it to myself not only to
bring that love, joy and passion
to every opportunity I get to
perform, but also to as much of
my life as possible. I’ve loved
“Sweeney Todd” since I was a
child, and I used to wear that
DVD out. I never thought I’d be
in “Sweeney Todd” on Broad-
way, but the universe comes back
around and says, “You love your-
self, and this is something else
that you love. And because you
are confident in yourself, you are
pouring passion and technique
and artistry into this audition, this
performance, this career.”
I applaud and recognize the
current graduating classes this
year and congratulate them, espe-
cially ChiArts’ 11th graduating
class! I, like those graduates, was
fortunate to have learned how to
mold my artistry, add to my tool-
box, hone my technique and tap
into my passions during my early
arts education in Chicago. Places
such as ChiArts gave me access to
incredibly high-level arts assets
as a public tuition-free school.
ChiArts also gave me the ability
to discover my dreams in the first
place, and for that, I will forever
be grateful.

Williams to open Virtue in
2018.
“I’ve always felt that it’s
extremely difficult to do
something if you don’t see
anyone who looks like you
doing it,” Brown said. “So
I’d like to thank chef Erick
Williams. For the last 13
years, you have been that
example for me. I stand
because you stood.”
The regional Best Chef:
Great Lakes award also
went to Chicagoans this
year, as Kwon and Flores
were named the top chefs in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan
and Ohio.
“We have incredible
team members, and they’re
just good people that want
to take care of people, and
everything has fallen into
place because of them,”
Kwon said, tears flowing
freely. She also thanked
Flores, her husband and
business partner, and their
puppy, Longganisa.
As for Flores, he said he
never expected the Fili-
pino food he grew up eating
would bring him to this
point.
“To be recognized for
cooking my mom’s food is
insane,” he said. “I never
thought we’d be cook-
ing Filipino food until we
opened Kasama.”
Previously, they were
the pastry chef and chef de
cuisine, respectively, at the
Michelin two-star restau-
rant Oriole.
And as for what the award
will mean for Kasama, “It
means we can grow as a
team,” Flores said. “It will
help us in the future and
push forward and allow our
team to keep doing what we
love.”
Diana Dávila of Mi
Tocaya Antojeria was also
up for the Best Chef: Great
Lakes regional category, as
were Detroit’s Omar Anani
(Saffron De Twah), Andy
Hollyday (Selden Standard)
and Sarah Welch (Marrow).
While Dávila had started
off the night hoping for a
win, she also noted the effect
attending the Beards had.

Two other Chicago restau-
rants up for awards — Obelix
was among 10 nominees for
Best New Restaurant, and
Sepia was nominated for
Outstanding Hospitality
— did not come away with
wins. Kann, a restaurant in
Portland, Oregon, won Best
New Restaurant, and Maine
restaurant The Quarry won
the Outstanding Hospitality
award.
Last year, Kasama was
nominated for Best New
Restaurant, which ulti-
mately went to Owamni, an
Indigenous-focused restau-
rant in Minneapolis.
Virtue and Kasama have
been consistently celebrated
and honored since their
respective debuts in 2018
and 2020.
Kasama introduced its
13-course tasting menu
dinner a year after opening
as a takeout-only spot for
breakfast and lunch. In 2021,
it received the Tribune’s
sole “outstanding” four-star
review, before going on to
receive a Michelin star in
2022 and a smattering of
other accolades.
At the start of 2019, former
Tribune critic Phil Vettel
declared Virtue “excel-
lent” and Williams was
named Chef of the Year
in the Tribune’s annual
Dining Awards in 2020.
Virtue was also named a
Michelin Guide Bib Gour-
mand recipient, which the
guide designates as offering
high-quality food at afford-
able prices.
Brown has also become a
well-known chef in his own
right; on the 19th season
of “Top Chef,” he came
in fourth place and was
declared the fan favorite.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritz-

the ceremony. He thanked
Chicago’s newly inaugu-
rated mayor, along with the
James Beard Foundation,
Choose Chicago and Illinois
Restaurant Association.
He praised Chicago as
one of the most “vibrant,
diverse and mouthwater-
ingly delicious food cities in
the world.”
Mayor Brandon Johnson
also spoke at the start of the
night.
“How about this amaz-
ing moment,” he said. He
praised the city’s five-star
dining restaurants and also
the humble hot dogs and
Italian beef sandwiches.
Last year marked the
return of the event after
the James Beard Founda-

for the first two years of the
pandemic amid a reckon-

law Frankie VanDeman and Jeanne Mathews, many
nieces and nephews and her beloved dog Rocky.
Gaile Elizabeth (Boone) Green was born to Clara and
Daniel Boone on October 30th, 1947 in Evanston, IL.
She was raised in Winnetka, Illinois and spent her
summers building memories and lifelong friend-
ships in northern Michigan on Crystal Lake. She
met her soulmate Ron in Berea, KY while attending
school in the area, and they married in September
of 1966. Love, at first sight, grew into a lifetime of
mutual adoration and adventure. Gaile and Ron
eventually landed in the Phoenix area after spend-
ing some early years in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and Evanston, Illinois. She became attached to the
desert and its natural beauty. She was quick to pick
up lizards, save birds from an array of troubles, or
nurse baby animals back to health. Animals were
her passion and she had a deep respect for all living
things. She became active in volunteering at several
non-profit agencies throughout her life, such as the
Lincoln Park Zoo, The Phoenix Art Museum as well
as Liberty Wildlife in Phoenix, an organization dear
to her heart that rehabilitates wounded birds of
prey.
Gaile was an avid reader (always had a book to
recommend), an enthusiastic golfer, a curious and
passionate traveler, a witty conversationalist, every-
one’s champion (nobody expressed pride for others’
accomplishments better - deserved or otherwise),
and the world’s best listener. She respected every-
one, and in turn, encouraged people to talk to her.
She always left people with a feeling of value.
She was generous, non-judgmental, warm, and
welcoming. She cherished her family. She loved
watching her grandchildren grow and shared in
their passions and interests. She always asked
questions of others and rarely bothered to mention
herself. People gravitated to her kind spirit and she
had more best friends than anyone we know. Often
we would hear, “Oh I love your mother. She is simply
the best.” We agree. She was the best. We all miss
her terribly and hope we can carry her effortless
kindness and compassion with us forever.

Serritella, Anthony “Tony” ‘Bubbles’
Tony, a Southside Chicago Cubs fan, lover of animals
and waitresses - known as
an affable flirt who tipped
generously – passed away on
5.28.23 at 88 years old.
At the age of 8, Tony got his
start peddling newspapers
and running numbers on a
Loop corner; an experience
that fostered street smarts
and a charisma he would car-
ry through life. After winning the lead role in his hit
high school play “Jenny Kissed Me” (despite never
auditioning nor reading the script), he enrolled in
the “University of Tony” with the motto: Anything
you need to know, you ask me. It is also where Tony
developed a penchant for books and poetry, specifi-
cally his own.
The youngest of five siblings, born to Antonio and
Antonia, and survived by his sister Dolly, Tony lived
in the same Bridgeport three-flat he shared with
extended family his entire life. This proud Italian
American often touted his many intrinsic talents:
fearlessness to spark a conversation with anyone
including Prince, Sylvester Stallone, and Harry
Caray; unbeatable 16” softball skills; ability to men-
tally compute columns of fractions (further honed
during his CBOE years); and looking several years
younger than his biological age.
Tony is also survived by his two “lazy” daughters,
Christie and Corrine, who refused to join his alma
mater and dared to sleep past 6:00am on weekends.
While they didn’t appreciate being awoken and
dragged to Las Vegas’ midnight shows for Elvis and
the Rat Pack during custodial parental summers,
they both now understand and value his uncon-
ventional and treasured “life” lessons. Tony leaves
behind a deep void, and Chicago will certainly be
less colorful without him.
If you wish to honor Tony’s memory, he would love
an animal rescue donation. As we can bet Tony al-
ready chatted up St. Francis of Assisi, boasting that
cash is on its way. It is the story, not the life, that
lives eternal.

Laborer
The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of
Greater Chicago is preparing to hire a small
number of laborers over the next four years.
These jobs are in Cook County at plants that treat
sewage. There are no jobs in downtown Chicago.
People in these jobs may work in unpleasant
surroundings and are exposed to unpleasant
odors.
You must show your Social Security Card and
Photo Identification (with your birth date) at the
basic skills written test.
Failure to show these documents may result in
disqualification from the Laborer examination
process.
You must be at least 18 years old by June 12,
2023.
How we will hire Laborers:
1. As previously announced, the Illinois State
Lottery Pick 4 (evening) game from Sunday,
May 21, 2023 was used to get the numbers for
the Laborer lottery list. (The Illinois State Lottery
has no interest in the way the District hires
people.)
2. The winning numbers are 3799. The Fireball
number may not be used to substitute a
number.
3. If the last four digits of your Social Security
number are between 3799 and 4299, you will
have until June 12, 2023 to file an application for
Laborer.
4. Applications must be filed by the following
method: Submitted ONLINE through the
District's Online Employment Center at
www.districtjobs.org.
Applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m.
Central Time on the closing date, June 12, 2023,
to be considered.
5. All communication with applicants during the
selection process will be by email. It is the
applicants’ responsibility to check their email for
important notifications from the District during
the selection process.
6. Applications from anyone whose numbers are
not between 3799 and 4299 will be disqualified.
You must show your photo identification (with
your birth date) and Social Security Card at the
basic skills written test to confirm you have the
winning numbers or are within the range of the
winning numbers plus 500. Failure to show these
documents may result in disqualification from the
Laborer examination process.
7. Candidates must be able to read and
understand simple instructions at approximately
the sixth grade level and be at least 18 years old
by June 12, 2023.
8. In the event, that more than one applicant has
the same last four digits of their social security
number, ties will be broken by the date and time
of application submission.
9. A short list of candidates, based on their rank
in the lottery, will be asked to take a basic skills
written test which is tentatively scheduled for
Saturday, August 19, 2023. Candidates will
receive more information about the basic skills
written test if they are placed on the lottery list
and are within the selected range.
10. A short list of candidates who pass the basic
skills written test, based on their rank in the
lottery, will be interviewed. Interviews are
tentatively scheduled between the dates of
September 19 - 21, 2023.
11. Candidates who pass the interview will be
eligible for hire as a Laborer. Appointments will
be made from the rank ordered eligible list. The
eligible list has a duration of four years.
12. If you are offered a job, you will take a
physical exam, including a drug test, criminal
history background investigation and an
evaluation of your ability to meet the specific
physical demands of the job.
13. If you are hired, you will have a one-year
probation period (250 days worked).
14. If you are hired, you must have a valid
Illinois driver's license within six months of the
date of appointment.
15. If you are hired, you must live in the
boundaries of the District within six months of
completing probation. (The District covers about
90% of Cook County.)

is $30.02.

Unruly
passenger
incidents
increase
Failing to comply
with flight crew
is top infraction
By Terry Castleman
Los Angeles Times
With air travel recovering
from the pandemic, a new
study found that bad behavior
among airline passengers has
continued to rise.
A new analysis by the Inter-
national Air Transport Asso-
ciation shows that unruly
passenger incidents on
airplanes increased 47% from
2021 to 2022, from one inci-
dent per 835 flights to one inci-
dent per 568 flights.
Though incidents of physi-
cal abuse often draw the most
attention, the most common
types of incidents were
“non-compliance, verbal abuse
and intoxication,” according
to the report. Other misdeeds
included bringing outside
alcoholic drinks into the cabin,
failing to wear a seat belt and
packing too much baggage.
Physical abuse incidents
occurred on 1 in every 17,200
flights, a small fraction, but
still an increase of 61% over
the prior year. By compar-
ison, the odds of a person
being struck by lightning in
their lifetime are 1 in 15,300,
according to the National
Weather Service.
The rise of incidents comes
despite the Federal Avia-
tion Administration issu-
ing a zero-tolerance order in
2021 against unruly behavior.
Instead of receiving warn-
ings or being required to seek
counseling, violators began to
face criminal prosecution or
fines of as much as $35,000.
Airlines also have the author-
ity to ban an unruly passenger
from flying on their carrier in
the future.
“Passengers and crew are
entitled to a safe and hassle-
free experience on board,” said
IATA Deputy Director General
Conrad Clifford. “While our
professional crews are well
trained to manage unruly
passenger scenarios, there is
no excuse for not following the
instructions of the crew.”
The FAA said in April that
it had sent 250 cases of unruly
passengers to the FBI for
potential criminal prosecu-
tion, including one in March,
when a man tried to stab a
flight attendant with a broken-
off spoon.
FAA numbers showed that
about two-thirds of unruly
passenger reports were related
to face masks before April
2022, when a federal judge
struck down masking require-
ments on planes and public
transportation.
Incidents of passengers
failing to comply with the
flight crew, the most common
category in 2022, were up
37% over 2021 and included
smoking and vaping in lava-
tories, “failure to faster seat
belts when instructed,” carry-
ing on too much baggage
or failing to store it, and
consumption of outside alco-
hol on the plane, according to
the IATA.
The data come from more
than 20,000 reports submit-
ted by some 40 airlines.
“No one wants to stop
people having a good time
when they go on holiday — but
we all have a responsibility to
behave with respect for other
passengers and the crew,” said
Clifford.

cal abuse incidents occurred,

Commissioner: Southland
needs hospital trauma center
Gordon says she is looking into how to
establish a round-the-clock care facility
By Mike Nolan
Daily Southtown
Cook County Commissioner
Monica Gordon said Monday she’s
working with leadership of South-
land hospitals to explore estab-
lishing another hospital trauma
center, stating “the life expectancy
of citizens” suffering traumas such
as gunshot wounds is being jeop-
ardized.
Advocate Christ Medical
Center in Oak Lawn is the only
Level 1 trauma center in the south
and southwest suburbs.
The state Level 1 designa-
tion indicates the highest level
of trauma care, although there
are also hospitals with Level 2,
such as Silver Cross Hospital in
New Lenox, and Level 3 designa-
tions. Level 1 trauma centers offer
round-the-clock care with on-site
specialists.
The University of Chicago

Vienna Beef’s $20M plaza plan revealed
Company will redevelop former home in Bucktown; slated to open in spring 2024
By Louisa Chu
Chicago Tribune
A $20 million Vienna Beef
Plaza is coming to Chicago.
Vienna Beef, the company
best known for the iconic Chica-
go-style hot dog, announced
plans Tuesday to redevelop its
former home in the Bucktown
neighborhood into a new restau-
rant and corporate headquarters
with retail stores and an outdoor
gathering space.
“Vienna Beef has long imag-
ined what possibilities exist at
our former factory location,
where Vienna was in opera-
tion since the early 1970s,” said
Vienna Beef senior vice presi-
dent Tom McGlade in a state-
ment.
The former factory cafe orig-
inally served as a cafeteria for
employees. Once open to the
public, it became a favorite for
lunch at affordable prices.
The attached retail store
offered everything needed to
make Chicago-style hot dogs
at home, from the increasingly
elusive natural casing dogs by the
pound to kosher dills available
by the pickle or 5-gallon bucket.
The company will plant 80
trees and hundreds of plants for
a “lush garden feel” on the site of
its former factory, the company
said, for “an opportunity to host
indoor and outdoor events.” The
redeveloped space is set to open
in spring 2024.
up,” Gordon said.
She said it is possible a hospi-
tal such as UChicago Medicine
Ingalls Memorial Hospital in
Harvey, Advocate South Subur-
ban in Hazel Crest or Franciscan
Health Hospital in Olympia Fields
could be modified to become a
trauma center.
“Right now, if there is a gunshot
victim, they have to go all the way
to Christ, and the time it takes to
get there depends on the traffic,”
Gordon said.
Gordon was elected last fall
to represent Cook County’s 5th
District and succeed retiring
commissioner Deborah Sims.
South suburbs in the district
include Chicago Heights, Harvey
and Riverdale.
Gordon held a news confer-
ence Sunday outside of Ingalls,
where, she said, south suburban
residents face long wait times for
emergency room help and staffing
isn’t sufficient.
“I’m not blaming the staff at all,”
Gordon said Monday. “They are
doing the best they can do.”

“Our community is excited
to see Vienna Beef reinvest in
the neighborhood by adaptively
reusing the original Vienna
headquarters,” said Ald. Scott
Waguespack, 32nd, whose ward
includes the Vienna Beef site.
The 150,000-square-foot
development will also include a
big-box store, other retail shops
and more than 200 parking
spaces.
The new restaurant will
display memorabilia from
Vienna Beef’s 130-year history.

to Ingalls’ emergency
department by his mother.
Walker said his mother
had collapsed recently at Gordon
a school facility in Harvey
and suffered a head wound and
was bleeding profusely. He said
there was a 45-minute wait for an
ambulance then an extended wait
in the emergency room.
Ingalls Memorial merged with

system said it couldn’t comment
directly on the treatment of Walk-

but it said it “remains committed
to providing high-quality care to
all patients in all the communities
served by the health system.”
Gordon said the crisscrossing
of multiple freight rail lines in
the south suburbs adds to travel
time to a trauma center. Also, she
said, the closing in recent years of

of the cost of opening and
operating one is planned.
“We’re at the infancy
stage of doing what we can to
make this happen,” Gordon said.
She said that she is reaching out
to hospital leadership at Ingalls
and other local hospitals about
her goal.
“We want to connect with
hospital leadership of any of those
hospitals to make this happen,”
Gordon said.
University of Chicago Medi-
cine opened its Level 1 trauma
unit on Chicago’s South Side in the
spring of 2018, and noted “trauma

“Trauma systems must be

city and the state, in consultation
with trauma program experts and
healthcare providers throughout
the Chicagoland area,” U of C

The new restaurant will be
more upscale than a cafeteria,
according to a spokesperson,

“more conducive to an in-person

will again feature classic Chica-
go-style Vienna Beef items, with
more details closer to opening.
The iconic Chicago-style
hot dog starts with a steamed
poppy-seed bun, then purists
say a natural casing Vienna

North Branch of the Chicago

Approximately 50 employ-

and Bridgeport at the end of this
year to Vienna Beef Plaza, the
company said.

Merck sues to stop law on
Medicare drug bargaining
Pharmaceutical firm pushes back against program aiming to negotiate prices
By Rebecca Robbins
The New York Times
The pharmaceutical company Merck
on Tuesday sued the government over a
federal law that empowers Medicare for
the first time to negotiate prices directly
with drugmakers.
Merck’s lawsuit, filed in federal court in
Washington, is the drug industry’s most
significant move to fight back against a
substantial change to health policy, which
will go into effect starting in 2026. Demo-
crats pushed through the Medicare nego-
tiation program last summer as a provision
of the Inflation Reduction Act, framing it as
a way of lowering drug prices.
Only some drugs will be subject to nego-
tiation with Medicare and only after they
have been on the market without competi-
tion for years. But Merck, which generated
$14.5 billion in profit last year, claimed in a
statement Tuesday that the law would stifle
its ability and that of its peers to make risky
investments in new cures.
Other drug companies have suggested

It’s a niche area of TikTok,
and creators use odd content
to gain serious cash, exposure
By Kate Ryan
The New York Times
During a three-part special examining
the crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer
that aired on the daytime talk show “Dr.
Phil,” host Phil McGraw played a TikTok
video of a 27-year-old woman named
Stanzi Potenza as evidence that true-crime
fandom had gone too far. In the video,
Potenza said she was so obsessed with
Netflix’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer
Story” that she stayed home from work in
diapers to binge the series uninterrupted.
As it turns out, Potenza had made a video
satirizing true-crime obsessives — and
McGraw mistook it as sincere.
Potenza is a cringe comic and actor who
calls herself a “sketch comedian from hell.”
She gained millions of followers on TikTok
and YouTube by posting mansplaining
public service announcements, sarcas-
tic impersonations of Satan and bone-dry
parodies of the horror film “The Purge.”

SEC lawsuit targets crypto platform Coinbase
By Michelle Chapman
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Coinbase has been
targeted by U.S. regulators in a new lawsuit
Tuesday that alleges the cryptocurrency
platform is operating as an unregistered
securities platform and brokerage service.
The lawsuit from the Securities and
Exchange Commission comes only a day
after it filed charges against Binance, the
world’s largest crypto exchange, accusing
it of misusing investor funds, operating as
an unregistered exchange and violating a
slew of U.S. securities laws.
In its complaint, the SEC said Coinbase
made billions acting as the middle man for
cryptocurrency buyers and sellers but did

that they will choose to cut certain drug
development programs because of the
projected dent to their revenue. Several
have already said they were reassessing
their research plans.
Merck said it was seeking a court order
or another legal remedy that could exempt
Merck from having to participate in the
negotiation program.
In the complaint filed Tuesday, the
company’s lawyers at the law firm Jones
Day claim that the Medicare negotiation
program is unconstitutional. They claim
that the program would coerce Merck to
provide its products at government-set
prices, violating a clause of the Fifth
Amendment that prohibits the government
from taking private property for public use
without just compensation. They also claim
that the program would violate Merck’s free
speech rights by coercing the company to
sign an agreement it did not agree with
upon the conclusion of the negotiation.
But several experts who study the indus-
try said the constitutionality arguments
were weak and would face an uphill battle
comedy is a little painful,” she said. “It hurts
so good.”
As a concept, cringe is deceptively hard
to describe. As a content category, cringe is
vast, encompassing everything from dated
cultural norms to a strategy that musical
artists employ to reach real fans.
Cringe is not any one thing, but you know
it when you see it.
On TikTok, you can make a career out of
being intentionally cringeworthy in a niche
area of the platform known as CringeTok.
Potenza has more than 3.8 million follow-
ers on TikTok — a following large enough
that it can translate into lucrative brand
deals, bonuses and merchandise sales. Her
videos, she said, have earned her more than
$200,000 annually.
To craft the perfect CringeTok video,
creators mine the depths of the internet
and their own experiences for traits they
can exaggerate.
These videos are different from uninten-
tionally cringey videos in which an over-
abundance of earnestness combined with
a lack of self-awareness leaves viewers feel-
ing uncomfortable.
Riri Bichri started posting CringeTok
videos in 2020, and by April, she had quit
her job as an electrical engineer to pursue
not give investors lawful protections while
acting as a broker.
“Coinbase has for years defied the regu-
latory structures and evaded the disclosure
requirements that Congress and the SEC
have constructed for the protection of the
national securities markets and investors,”
the SEC said in its complaint, which was
filed in U.S. District Court for the South-
ern District of New York. It seeks injunctive
relief, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus
interest and penalties.
Coinbase said the SEC has not been
transparent in how it regulates cryptocur-
rencies.
“The SEC’s reliance on an enforce-
ment-only approach in the absence of clear
rules for the digital asset industry is hurt-
in court. “What Merck argues is ‘coercion’
is actually the establishment of a freer, more
rational marketplace” that will address a
crucial root cause of high drug prices, said
Dr. Ameet Sarpatwari, an expert in pharma-
ceutical policy at Harvard Medical School.
Experts noted that the negotiation
process gives drugmakers leeway to reject
Medicare’s final offer and walk away with-
out a deal if they are not happy, subject to
a tax.
In September, the government plans to
announce the first 10 drugs that will be
subject to negotiation in 2026.
The program could also affect Merck’s
long-term plans for its blockbuster cancer
drug Keytruda.
The current version of Keytruda,
administered as an infusion, will face its
first competition in 2028, so its sales are
expected to erode regardless of whether it
is targeted by the program. But Merck had
been expecting to bring in significant reve-
nue from a new formulation of Keytruda it
is developing that can be more easily given
under the skin.

following of 800,000 subscribers by draw-

and her own cringey behavior for inspira-
tion.
“If I’m not embarrassed by what I did
yesterday, if I’m not cringing about what I
did yesterday, I did not grow,” Bichri said.
In July 2020, TikTok established the
Creator Fund to reward popular accounts
and encourage content creation.
It initially pledged to distribute $200
million and now expects the fund to grow
beyond $1 billion. How much each creator
gets can vary.
“Payouts from the Creator Fund are
based on a number of factors,” said Maria
Jung, TikTok’s global product communica-
tions manager. “These factors include what
​​
region your video is viewed in, engagement
on your video and the extent to which your
video adheres to our community guidelines
and terms of service.”
It has been widely reported that eligible
creators typically get a few cents for every
thousand views a video gets, although Jung
wouldn’t confirm that number.
Creators with millions of followers and
views per video can make a few thousand
dollars a month from the Creator Fund.

a demonstrated commitment to compli-

cer and general counsel for Coinbase, in a
written statement, adding: “The solution is
legislation that allows fair rules for the road
to be developed transparently and applied
equally, not litigation. In the meantime,
we’ll continue to operate our business as
usual.”
The SEC had warned Coinbase in March
that it could face securities charges and
had long signaled that Coinbase had been
flouting securities laws with its position
that cryptocurrencies were not securities
and therefore did not need to register as
a broker.

Site tracks
Biden gains
on projects,
investments
By Josh Boak
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The White House
on Tuesday launched a website to map and
track tens of thousands of infrastructure
projects and private manufacturing invest-
ments, an effort by the administration to
show the positive impact of its policies on
the U.S. economy to a skeptical public.
The site, Invest.gov, documents roughly
32,000 infrastructure projects and more
than $470 billion worth of investments in
the production of electric vehicles, batter-
ies, computer chips, biotech, clean energy
and other sectors.
President Joe Biden is seeking reelection
in 2024 by trying to show how his policies
are reshaping the U.S. economy to address
climate change and compete with rivals such
as China.
Natalie Quillian, deputy White House
chief of staff, said the site shows that Biden’s
agenda is “underway and working.”
“We want people to be able to see what’s
happening in their communities,” Quillian
said.
Americans have generally given Biden
poor reviews on his economic leadership.
Just 33% approve of how the president has
handled the economy, according to a May
survey by Associated Press-NORC Center
for Public Affairs Research. High inflation
coming out of the pandemic has eroded
confidence in Biden’s economic steward-
ship, overshadowing the 3.7% unemploy-
ment rate and more than 13 million jobs
added during his presidency.
The rollout of the site comes shortly
before the administration will engage in
additional public outreach with a second
round of its “Investing in America” tour. It
plans to send out Cabinet secretaries and
other officials around the country as part of
the two-week July 4 congressional recess.
BUSINESS BRIEFING
World Bank sees
slow growth pace
WASHINGTON — The World Bank said
Tuesday that the global economy remained
in a “precarious state” and warned of slug-
gish growth this year and next as rising
interest rates slow consumer spending and
business investment.
The bank’s tepid forecasts in its latest
Global Economic Prospects report highlight
the predicament global policymakers face
as they grapple with stubborn inflation, the
aftermath of the pandemic and continuing
supply chain disruptions.
The World Bank projected that global
growth would slow to 2.1% this year from
3.1% in 2022. That is slightly stronger than
its forecast of 1.7% in January, but in 2024,
output is now expected to rise to 2.4%,
weaker than its previous prediction of 2.7%.
Actors guild OKs
strike by June 30
Actors represented by the Hollywood
union SAG-AFTRA voted Monday to autho-
rize a strike if they don’t agree on a new
contract with major studios, streamers and
production companies by June 30.
The strike authorization was approved by
an overwhelming margin — nearly 98% of
the 65,000 members who cast votes.
The guild, which represents over 160,000
screen actors, broadcast journalists, an-
nouncers, hosts and stunt performers, begins
negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Pic-
ture and Television Producers on Wednes-
day, more than a month after the Writers
Guild of America began striking over its own
dispute with AMPTP. If the actors’ union
moves forward with the strike, it would be
limited to television and film productions.

NY pot market’s slow start
leaves farmers holding bag

growing reliance on chatbots

By Ken Sweet
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Can you
trust Erica, or Sandi or Amy
to increasingly control parts
of your financial life with-
out giving you inaccurate
information or sending
money to the wrong place?
T h a t ’s w h a t t h e
Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is asking
in a report released Tues-
day, where the bureau lays
out a number of concerns
about the growing use of
chatbots by banks to handle
routine customer service
requests.
The CFPB worries that
banks or loan-servicing
companies may cut back on
human customer service
employees and push an
increasing number of
routine tasks to AI. Further,
the regulator says, poorly
designed chatbots could
run afoul of federal laws
that govern how debts are
collected or how personal
information is being used.
“If firms poorly deploy
these services, there’s a
lot of risk for widespread
customer harm,” said Rohit
Chopra, director of the
CFPB.
For several years, banks
have been handling more
and more customer service
requests with chatbots,
often with female-sound-
ing names like Sandi for
Santander, Amy from
HSBC, or Eno at Capital
One.
Bank of America runs the
biggest and most successful
financial chatbot under the
Erica brand. Erica handles
hundreds of millions of
inquiries a year from BofA
customers.
Initially bank chatbots
were used to for basic
inquiries, like changing
a customers’ address or
phone number, or tell-
ing a customer where the
nearest branch is or what
the routing number might
be on their account. But
as banks have invested
millions into these services,
chatbots have gotten espe-
cially sophisticated, able to
understand full sentences
or even help a customer
move money around or pay
a bill.
The CFPB estimates that
roughly 4 out of 10 Ameri-
cans interacted with a bank
chatbot last year.
JPMorgan Chase is
reportedly developing
plans to use ChatGPT and
artificial intelligence to help
customers pick appropriate
investments. Bank of Amer-
ica bankers can use Erica to
build customer profiles and
potentially recommend
products to those custom-
ers.
While these services may
save customers minutes
or hours waiting on hold
to reach a human to ask
a routine question, the
agency has concerns about
whether these chatbots
will be able to handle the
nuances and complicated
nature of consumer protec-
tion laws without giving
customers inaccurate infor-
mation.
“There are federal laws
that give customers rights
when it comes to debts, or
disputing a transaction, and
if customer service agents
are being substituted for
chatbots, that can pose
problems if that software
gives them inaccurate infor-
mation,” Chopra said.
Chopra, both in his role
as director of the CFPB and
previously as a commis-
sioner at the Federal Trade
Commission, has raised
concerns that banks and
companies may violate
consumer laws if they
poorly implement algo-
rithms or AI software.
more than 200 other farm-
ers produced.
Now, another growing
season is underway, and
farmers are in a financial
bind — still sitting on much
of last year’s harvest.
“We are really under the
gun here. We’re all losing
money,” Jacobs recently
said at his farm on roll-
ing land near the Vermont
border. “Even the most
entrepreneurial and ambi-
tious amongst us just can’t
move much product in this
environment.”
New York pot farm-
ers aren’t the only ones
struggling with difficult
economic conditions. Mari-
juana growers in western
states have also complained
that low prices, tough
competition from the black
market, high state taxes, and
federal banking and export-
ing restrictions have made
it tough for legal growers to
make money.
But the farmers’ plight
in New York is directly tied
to the bumpy launch of
the state’s recreational pot
market.
State leaders had always
planned to gear up the
market in stages, giving
a chance for a diverse
set of participants to get
a toe-hold. The state’s
process for licensing new
dispensaries, however, has
moved at a far slower pace
With few places to market his pot, Seth Jacobs wonders
last month what to do with all of the marijuana grown on his
Slack Hollow Organics farm in Argyle, N.Y. HANS PENNINK/AP
than expected.
Last fall, Gov. Kathy
Hochul foresaw 20 new
shops opening every month
or so to start this year.
Instead, one store was open
by the start of the year, with
11 more opened since.
Unlicensed shops rushed
in to fill the void, espe-
cially in New York City, but
those outlets aren’t a legal
market for the state’s farm-
ers. Federal law prohibits
the New York farmers from
transporting their crop
across state lines.
That means limited shelf
space to sell the 300,000
pounds of cannabis grown
in the state last year, much
of the product meant to be
processed for items like
gummies and vapes.
Statewide, there is esti-
mated to be hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of
unsold cannabis, about 80%
in the form of cannabis oil,
according to the Canna-
bis Association of New
York, a trade group. There
are concerns the smok-
able flower will eventually
become too old to sell.
Jacobs keeps his bins of
buds at Slack Hollow Organ-
ics in secure, temperature
controlled units. More
valuable still is the distillate
at various processors he’s
waiting to sell.
Elsewhere in rural New
York, Brittany Carbone,
co-founder of Tricolla
Farms, said the stock they’re
sitting on includes 1,500
packs of pre-rolled joints
and about 2,000 packs of
edibles.
“What we really need
to see is more retailers get
open, and that’s going to
actually give us the sustain-
able solution,” Carbone
said.
The lack of sales is a
particular problem for small
farmers who stretched
themselves thin financially
to produce last year’s crop
and now need capital for
their second year.
In New York, many crit-
ics blame missteps by state
officials in their well-inten-
tioned effort to open the
market to a diverse array of
entrepreneurs. That meant
reserving the first legal
pot harvests for struggling
hemp farmers. And people
with past marijuana convic-
tions were given the chance
to open some of the first
dispensaries.

ELECTION 2024
Entering race with targets in sight
Christie seeks GOP
nomination, vows to
put heat on Trump
By Jill Colvin
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Former
New Jersey Gov. Chris
Christie filed paperwork
Tuesday formally launching
his bid for the Republican
nomination for president
after casting himself as the
only candidate willing to
directly take on former Pres-
ident Donald Trump.
Christie, who also ran
for president in 2016,
announced his campaign
later Tuesday at a town
hall in the early voting state
of New Hampshire. After
losing the nomination to
Trump seven years ago,
the former governor and
federal prosecutor went on
to become a close off-and-on
adviser before breaking with
the former president over
his refusal to accept the
results of the 2020 election.
Christie enters a grow-
ing primary field that
already includes Trump,
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,
former U.N. Ambassador
Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen.
Tim Scott of South Caro-
lina. Former Vice President
Mike Pence will be formally
launching his own campaign
Wednesday in Iowa.
Christie, who during his
time as New Jersey’s gover-
nor established a reputation
as a fighter with a knack for
creating viral moments
of confrontation, faces an
uphill battle to the nomina-
tion in a party that remains
closely aligned with the
former president, despite
Trump’s reelection loss in
2020 and Republicans’ poor-
er-than-expected showing
in the 2022 midterm elec-

D-Day’s 79th anniversary
Defense chief Austin
lauds Ukraine forces
in war against Russia

ON OMAHA BEACH,
France — An overwhelming
sound of gunfire and men’s
screams. That’s how World
War II veteran Marie Scott
described D-Day, as Tues-
day’s ceremonies got under-
way in honor of those who
fought for freedom in the
largest naval, air and land
operation in history.
This year’s tribute to the
young soldiers who died
in Normandy also reminds
veterans, officials and visi-
tors what Ukraine faces
today.
On Tuesday, the whistling
sound of the wind accom-
panied many reenactors
who came to Omaha Beach
at dawn to mark the 79th
anniversary of the assault
that led to the liberation of
France and Western Europe
from Nazi control.
Some brought bunches
of flowers; others waved
American flags.

her ears. She was just 17

tions.
Christie has cast himself
as the only person with
the guts to take on Trump
directly and has warned of a
repeat of 2016 if candidates
fail to confront him.
“I’m not dumb. The way
to win is to beat the guy
who’s ahead. And so what
would a campaign look like?
A campaign would look like
a direct frontal challenge
to Donald Trump trying to
return to the presidency,”
Christie recently said in a
podcast interview.
Anti-Trump Republicans
are particularly eager to see
Christie spar with Trump on
Portsmouth, England. Her
job was to pass on messages
between men on the ground
and Gen. Dwight D. Eisen-
hower and senior officers
who were supervising the
operation.
“I was in the war. I could

Scott said she was
“disgusted” that another
war was now raging on the
European continent follow-
ing Russia’s full-scale inva-
sion of Ukraine in February
2022.
“For me, war should only
be undertaken if it’s abso-
lutely (necessary), if there’s

WAR IN UKRAINE
Dam’s collapse triggers emergency
Kyiv, Moscow trade
blame, evacuate
thousands in south
By Vasilisa Stepanenko

KHERSON, Ukraine —
A major dam in southern
Ukraine collapsed Tuesday,
flooding villages, endanger-
ing crops and threatening
drinking water supplies as
both sides in the war scram-
bled to evacuate residents
and blamed each other for
the destruction.
Ukraine accused Russian
forces of blowing up the
Kakhovka dam and hydro-
electric power station,
which sits on the Dnieper
River in an area Moscow
has controlled for more
than a year. Russian officials
blamed Ukrainian bombard-
ment in the contested area,
where the river separates
the two sides.
It was not possible to
reconcile the conflicting
claims.
Russian and Ukrainian
officials used terms like
“ecological disaster” and
“terrorist act” to describe
the torrent of water gush-
ing through the broken dam
and beginning to empty an
upstream reservoir that is
one of the world’s largest.
Ukrainian President Volo-
dymyr Zelenskyy called
it “the largest man-made
environmental disaster in
Europe in decades.” U.N.
Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres called it “another
devastating consequence
of the Russian invasion of
Ukraine.”
As homes, streets and
businesses flooded, author-
ities expressed concerns
about drinking water
supplies and emergency
crews evacuated thousands
of people from Ukrainian
and Russian-controlled
areas.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
— Florida Gov. Ron DeSan-

Tuesday that three dozen
migrants whom the state
flew from the U.S. south-
ern border to California
on private planes all went
willingly, rebuffing allega-

that the individuals were
coerced to travel under false
pretenses.
Two planes arrived in

DeSantis’ administration
has transported migrants
from Texas to other states.
Last fall, Florida flew 49
Venezuelans to the upscale
Massachusetts island of

move was intended to
protest federal immigra-

Last month, DeSantis,
who recently announced a

law a bill approving $12 mil-
lion for a program to relo-

never set foot in Florida.

a stunning new dimen-
sion to Russia’s war, now in
its 16th month. Ukrainian

be moving forward with a

offensive in patches along
more than 600 miles of front

gious congregations in the
Sacramento area, said all of
the migrants had already
been given pending court
dates by U.S. immigra-
tion officials before they
were approached in Texas
by people promising jobs.
Trejo said that they had
been “lied to and deceived.”
California Gov. Gavin
Newsom’s office, mean-
while, doubled down on its
criticism of DeSantis.
“This is exploitative
propaganda being peddled
by a politician who has
shown there are no depths
he won’t sink to in his
desperate effort to score
a political point,” said
Anthony York, a spokesman
for Newsom.

Sergei Shoigu charged that
Ukraine destroyed the dam
to prevent Russian attacks

what he alleged was a failed
Ukrainian counteroffensive.
He claimed Ukraine had lost
3,715 troops and 52 tanks

its standard practice of not
commenting on its casual-

Republicans target FBI chief
with threat of contempt vote
By Luke Broadwater
and Adam Goldman
The New York Times
WA S H I NG T O N —
House Republicans said
they would move this
week to hold the FBI direc-
tor, Christopher Wray, in
contempt of Congress,
escalating their attacks on
the federal law enforce-
ment agency as they grasp
for evidence of wrongdoing
by President Joe Biden.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky.,
chair of the Oversight Com-
mittee, made the announce-
ment after summoning FBI
officials to Capitol Hill for
a closed-door briefing on
a document containing an
unverified allegation of
bribery against Biden when
he was vice president.
The Trump Justice De-
partment investigated the
allegation, which involved
his son Hunter Biden’s deal-
ings in Ukraine, in 2020, but
prosecutors could not sub-
stantiate the claims, accord-
ing to two people familiar
with the matter.
Yet Comer, who has said
he is investigating whether
Joe Biden traded on his
office for money, has repeat-
edly insinuated that there is
more to it; on Monday, he
asserted that the allegation
“has never been disproven.”
At the chair’s insistence,
Wray’s team brought the
document to a secure area of
the Capitol on Monday and
briefed Comer and Rep. Ja-
mie Raskin of Maryland, the
committee’s top Democrat,
on it for about 90 minutes.
But Comer complained af-
terward that the agency,
citing concern about pro-
tecting the identity of the
informant, declined to al-
low other members of the
committee to view it.
“We will now initiate
contempt of Congress hear-
ings this Thursday,” Comer
told reporters on Capitol
Hill, adding, “The ball is in
the FBI’s court.”

tion against Biden is the

sive, even though observers
note that crossing the broad
Dnieper would be extremely
challenging. Other sectors of
the front line are more likely
avenues of attack, analysts
say.
Experts have previously
said the dam was in disre-
pair, which could also have
led to the breach. David
Helms, a retired American
scientist who has moni-
tored the reservoir, said in
an email it wasn’t clear if
the damage was deliberate
or simple neglect by occupy-
ing Russian forces.
But Helms also noted a
Russian history of attacking
dams.

Department began investi-
gations into former Presi-
dent Donald Trump’s role in
trying to overturn the 2020
election and his handling of
classified documents after
leaving the White House.
Republicans have relied
on former FBI agents —
some of whom have em-
braced Jan. 6 conspiracy
theories and have even
accepted money from a
Trump ally — to provide in-
formation against the bu-

Wray provided, contained
an allegation from an infor-
mant relaying a conver-
sation with someone else,
which the informant could
not corroborate. He said the
Justice Department under
former Attorney General
Bill Barr “found no reason
to escalate it from an assess-
ment to a so-called prelimi-
nary investigation.”

source said that he had no

whether the surge was due
to a real threat of floodwa-
ters destroying crops.
Authorities, experts
and residents have been
concerned for months about
water flowing through —
and over — the Kakhovka
dam. After heavy rains
and snowmelt last month,
water levels rose beyond
normal, flooding nearby
villages. Satellite images
showed water washing over
damaged sluice gates.
Ukraine controls five
of the six dams along the
Dnieper, which runs from
its northern border with
Belarus down to the Black
Sea and is crucial for the
country’s drinking water
and power supply and that of
Russian-occupied Crimea.
Calling attention to the
document is Comer’s latest
effort to keep public atten-
tion on Hunter Biden’s
business activities, which
Republicans have made a
focus of their investigations
for years.
Rep. Dan Goldman,
D-N.Y., a member of the
Oversight Committee
who examined allegations
against Joe Biden and Bu-
risma as part of a House
impeachment team in 2019,
said the Republican narra-
tive had fallen flat because
Biden sought to crack down
on corruption in Ukraine,
not enable it.
“The facts are actually
directly contrary to any of
the Republican allegations,”
Goldman said.
The FBI went to some
lengths to make the docu-
ments available to lawmak-
ers, first inviting them to
bureau headquarters and
then bringing the material
to the Capitol to accommo-
date their schedules.
“The FBI has continu-
ally demonstrated its com-
mitment to accommodate
the committee’s request,
including by producing
the document in a reading
room at the U.S. Capitol,”
the bureau said in a state-
ment Monday. “The esca-
lation to a contempt vote
under these circumstances
is unwarranted.”

POLITICAL CHANGE OVER TIME
Carter helped build on King’s work
He collaborated with
MLK’s family — but
never met reverend
By Bill Barrow
Associated Press
ATLANTA — The voice
of Martin Luther King Sr., a
melodic tenor like his slain
son, carried across Madison
Square Garden, calming the
raucous Democrats who
had nominated his friend
and fellow Georgian for the
presidency.
“Surely, the Lord sent
Jimmy Carter to come on
out and bring America
back where she belongs,”
the venerated Black pastor
said as the nominee smiled
behind him. “I’m with him.
You are too. Let me tell you,
we must close ranks now.”
Carter then shared a
moment with Coretta
Scott King, clasping hands
and locking eyes with the
widowed first lady of the
Civil Rights Movement,
their children looking on.
For the Kings, closing the
1976 convention affirmed
their continued reach — and
their pragmatism — eight
years after Martin Luther
King Jr. was assassinated.
For Carter, it marked the
evolution of a white politi-
cian from the Old Confed-
eracy: As a local leader and
state senator who aspired for
more, he had mostly avoided
controversial stands during
the civil rights era. During
all their years in Atlanta, he
never met the movement’s
leader.
“Carter never did
anything racist himself. But
he didn’t participate,” biog-
rapher Jonathan Alter said.
“And King was right there.”
Yet the alliance Carter
later forged with the King
family endured as he grew
into a governor, president
and global humanitarian
who advanced racial equal-
ity and human rights.
“He was one of the few
presidents who really was
an advocate for the Black
community out of a pure-
ness of heart,” said the Rev.
Pacifist sect from Russia shaken by invasion
War in Ukraine has
ended any desire to
return to motherland
By Dan Bilefsky
The New York Times
CASTLEGAR, Brit-
ish Columbia — When he
was growing up among
the Doukhobors, a pacifist
religious group that immi-
grated to Canada from czar-
ist Russia, J.J. Verigin would
sometimes arrive home from
school to find naked elderly
women trying to burn down
his family’s house.
One attempt, in 1969,
succeeded, said Veri-
gin, 67, who recently
recounted the episode. A
blaze destroyed precious
family artifacts, including
correspondence between
his great-great-grandfa-
ther, a prominent Douk-
hobor leader, and Russian
writer Leo Tolstoy, an early
admirer of the Doukhob-
ors’ pacifism and Christian
morality.
The elderly women,
Verigin explained, were
part of a small and radical
splinter group within the
Doukhobors who periodi-
cally stripped naked and lit
buildings on fire to protest
land ownership and what
they viewed as excessive
materialism. Some among
those charged with arson
had another motive, he said:
getting deported to Mother
Russia.
These days, with the
Ukraine war raging, most
Doukhobors no longer
aspire to return to Russia,
said Verigin, who leads
the largest Doukhobor
organization in Canada,
and studied in Moscow in
1979. The fires, which for
years grabbed headlines in
Canada, and polarized the
Doukhobors, are also a thing
of the past, he said.
“Pacifism is at the core
of what it means to be a
Doukhobor, and the war
in Ukraine has ended
any residual desire that
remained to return to
Russia,” said Verigin, the

Now 98, Carter is receiv-

he was gunned down in
1968, would have been 94.
Certainly, King would
have expanded his own
legacy with a longer life span
— after civil rights victories
for Black Americans, he
turned his focus to challeng-
ing Western militarism and
rapacious capitalism — and
there’s no way to know what
kind of relationship King
might have had with Carter
once the Georgia Democrat
reached high office.
As it was, Carter used the
most visible decades of his
public life to reflect King’s
values and often his rhetoric,
while playing a central role
in memorializing King as an
American icon.

brothers and sisters because
we, too, have faced repres-

In the 18th century, the
Doukhobors (the name
comes from a Russian phrase
meaning “spirit wrestlers”)
rejected the icon worship
of the Russian Orthodox
Church. They also resisted
serving in the imperial mili-
tary; in 1895, thousands of
Doukhobor soldiers set fire
to their weapons, which
led to the group’s violent
suppression and exile.
Tolstoy devoted royal-
ties from his novel “Resur-
rection” to help finance
the Doukhobors’ transit to
Canada, and in 1899, more
than 7,500 immigrated to
what became Saskatche-
wan to help farm the Cana-
dian prairies. In 1908, the
majority resettled in the
rural mountainous region

emphasis on peace, express-

Carter quoted many
of the same theologians
King cited in his practice
of nonviolent resistance,
and he would join King in
2002 as a Nobel Peace Prize
winner. As a former presi-

King’s birthplace, burial site
and the family’s Ebenezer
Baptist Church.
The former president
even served as private medi-
ator for King’s children,
helping settle an extended
athletes and, in at least one
case, a drag queen.
“Assimilation is a chal-
lenge to our way of life,”
Verigin said.
At a recent choir prac-
tice at a Doukhobor cultural
center, Jasmine Popoff, 34,
a nurse with purple hair,
led her choir in a rousing
version of Leonard Cohen’s
“Hallelujah” — in Russian —
followed by a spirited rendi-
tion in English of Queen’s
“Somebody to Love.”
“As Doukhobors, it’s
important that our culture
evolves so that we keep it
going,” Popoff said.
As the discussion turned
to the war during a rehearsal
break, choir members of all
ages said they rejected the
authoritarianism and mili-
tarism of Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
“I don’t feel any connec-
tion to Mother Russia
because Russia isn’t our
mother,” said one singer,
Kelly Poznikoff.
Verigin said that, because
of anger over the Ukraine
dispute over their parents’
estate.
“I appreciate his efforts”
ending the highly publicized
fight, Bernice King said.
Barely 5 years old when
her father was killed, the
younger King said she
does not “know for sure”
when the families’ friend-
ship began. She thinks her
mother made the first over-
ture, after Carter became
Georgia governor in 1971.
“My mother was the kind
of leader who made sure
that she connected with the
people she felt could assist
her in the work that she
was doing to continue my
father’s legacy,” King said.
It had not been obvious
before Carter reached state-
wide office that he could be
such a partner.
During the peak of the
Civil Rights Movement,
as Martin Luther King Jr.
worked with President
conflict, several Doukhobors
in recent months had been
denied service in local shops
in Castlegar.
In the past, prejudice
against the Doukhobors in
Canada has been fanned
by the extremist splinter
group, the Sons of Freedom,
which in the 1920s began
marching in nude protests
and torching public build-
ings and homes. Members
of the group opposed prop-
erty ownership and public
schooling for their kids. In
the ’50s, dozens of their kids
were forcibly sent to govern-
ment boarding schools.
Among the last of the
radicals was Mary Braun,
who in 2001, at age 81, was
sentenced to six years in
prison after setting fire to a
community college building
in British Columbia. Before
her sentencing, Braun
disrobed in court. She had
previously gone on numer-
ous fasts and lit small fires in
courtrooms.
Nadja Kolesnikoff, a yoga
instructor who grew up in a
Lyndon Johnson on the
Civil Rights Act and Voting
Rights Act, Carter was a
one-term state senator.
He supported Johnson’s
election in 1964 and never
aligned with segregation-
ist colleagues in Atlanta,
but Carter didn’t speak out
in favor of the federal laws
during his two campaigns
for governor.
When King was assassi-
nated, Carter did not attend
the funeral. In 1970, he
won the governor’s race as
a conservative Democrat,
avoiding explicit mentions
of race while assuring voters
of his general preference for
“local control” over federal
intervention.
A “code-word campaign,”
Alter called it.
Then, at his inaugura-
tion, the 46-year-old Carter
issued a surprise edict: “The
time for racial discrimina-
tion is over.”
Sons of Freedom household,
said she had been confused
at age 5 when her paternal
grandmother burned down
her own house and was
jailed for three years.
“We were supposed to
be pulling together as a
community,” she said. “I
never asked her why she
did it.”
But Kolesnikoff said her
upbringing was also empow-
ering. Her family used kero-
sene lamps and stored
vegetables and fruits under-
ground in winter. Luxuries
were frowned upon.
“I learned to be self-suf-
ficient, and to this day I
feel there is nothing I can’t
do,” she said by phone from
Costa Rica, where she lives.
At the Doukhobor Discov-
ery Center in Castlegar, the
museum director, Ryan
Dutchak, said that some
Doukhobors over the past
decades had changed their
Russian-sounding last
names for fear of being
ostracized. In Canada’s 2021
census, only 1,675 people
identified as Doukhobors.
Elders say preserving the
Russian language holds the
key to the group’s survival.
On a recent Thursday,
dozens of Doukhobors gath-
ered for a spiritual meeting.
Wearing colorful kerchiefs,
blouses, skirts and aprons,
the women sat on one side
across from the men. On a
table lay a loaf of bread, salt
and a pitcher of water, tradi-
tional symbols of Doukho-
bor hospitality.
“Gospodi blagoslovi” —
Lord grant us your blessing
— they said before singing
the Lord’s Prayer in melodi-
ous Russian.
Standing at the front of his
classroom at an elementary
school in Castlegar, Ernie
Verigin, a Russian teacher,
acknowledged the chal-
lenges in preserving the
Doukhobor faith.
“The younger generation
wants a quick fix, but spiri-
tuality is a lifelong process,”
he said. “It’s hard to compete
when my 14-year-old daugh-
ter is on Instagram and Face-
book.”

NEWS BRIEFING

Prince Harry short on

specifics in testimony
against UK tabloids
From news services
LONDON — Prince
Harry’s historic show-
down Tuesday with the
publisher of a British tabloid
exposed his deep suspicions
of the press but offered
little concrete evidence
to support accusations of
phone hacking that he said
caused so much anguish in
his life.
Harry accuses the
publisher of the Daily
Mirror of using unlawful
techniques on an “indus-
trial scale” to score front-
page scoops on his life.
As he sat in the witness
box in the High Court in
London, Harry told Mirror
Group Newspapers attor-
ney Andrew Green that he
had “experienced hostility
from the press since I was
born.” The prince accused
the tabloids of playing “a
destructive role in my grow-
ing up.”
Green apologized for the
one instance the Mirror
Group has admitted to
hiring a private investiga-
tor to dig up dirt on Harry,
which was not among the
claims he has brought. The
Mirror Group denies or
doesn’t admit his other alle-
gations.
Green acknowledged that
the duke had “lived a life of
tabloid life intrusion,” and
then in a sympathetic tone
set about dismantling his
case.
Taken back in time to his
12th birthday and onward
through early adulthood, he
was confronted with arti-
cles that he has complained
about and asked to identify
the source of wrongdoing
by Mirror Group journalists.
Harry was forced almost
immediately to acknowl-
edge that he wasn’t certain
he read the 33 specific arti-
cles about him when they
were published.
“Is it realistic, when you
have been the subject of so
much press intrusion by so
many press, both domestic
and international, to attri-
bute specific distress to a
particular article from 20
years ago, which you may
not have seen at the time?”
Green asked.
“It isn’t a specific article;
it is all of the articles,” Harry
said. “Every single article
has caused me distress.”
He suggested the articles
were the result of phone
hacking or some other
unlawful information gath-
ering method that “desper-
ate journalists” relied on for
any news nugget about his
life.
The 38-year-old son of
King Charles III is the first
senior British royal since the
19th century to face ques-
tioning in a court. The future
King Edward VII appeared
as a witness in a trial over a
gambling scandal in 1891.
The current case dates
from 1996 to 2011 — a
period when phone hack-
ing by tabloid journalists
was later discovered to have
been widespread. It led to
revelations of more intru-
sive means such as phone
tapping, home bugging and
using deception to obtain
flight information and medi-
cal records.
Santos investigation: A hypersonic missile capable
federal magistrate ruled
Tuesday to make public the
names of the cosigners on
indicted Rep. George Santos’
$500,000 release bond, but
said she’ll keep them secret
for now to give his lawyer
time to appeal the decision.
U.S. Magistrate Judge
Anne Shields’ ruling came
a day after Santos’ lawyer
said the New York Republi-
can would risk going to jail
to protect the identities of
his cosigners whose backing
enabled his pretrial release.
Santos, 34, represents
parts of Queens and Long
Island. He pleaded not
guilty May 10 to charges he

campaign, lied to Congress
Pension protests renewed in France: French gendarmes in riot gear hold their shields in place Tuesday during a confrontation

aire and cheated to collect
unemployment benefits he
didn’t deserve.
Santos has defied calls to
resign and has said he won’t
drop his bid for a second
term. He is due back in court
June 30.
Iran missile: Iran claimed on
Tuesday that it had created a
of traveling at 15 times the
speed of sound.
The new missile — called
Fattah, or “Conqueror” in
Farsi — was unveiled on
Iranian state television.
Iranian officials did not
release footage of a Fattah
successfully launching and
then striking a target. Gen.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head
of the paramilitary Revolu-
tionary Guard’s aerospace
program, later said that
there had been a ground test
of the missile’s engine.
Hypersonic weapons,
which fly at speeds in excess
of Mach 5, or five times
the speed of sound, could
pose challenges to missile
defense systems because
of their speed and maneu-
verability. China is believed
to be pursuing the weap-
ons, as is America. Russia
claims to already be fielding
the weapons and has said
it used them on the battle-
field in Ukraine. However,
speed and maneuverability
isn’t a guarantee the missile
will strike a target. Ukraine’s
air force in May said it shot
down a Russian hyper-
sonic Kinzhal missile with
a Patriot battery.
Haiti earthquake: An earth-
quake with a preliminary
magnitude of 4.9 struck
southern Haiti early Tues-
day, killing at least four
people and injuring 36
others, authorities said.
The quake struck before
dawn near the southwestern
coastal city of Jeremie at a
depth of six miles, accord-
ing to the U.S. Geological
Survey.
Two homes collapsed in
the quake, and a key route
that connects Jeremie and
Les Cayes was blocked,
according to Haiti’s Civil
Protection Agency.
Holloway case suspect: A tion providers sued the state
Peruvian judge Tuesday
affirmed this week’s planned
extradition to the U.S. of
the main suspect in the
unsolved 2005 disappear-
ance of American student
Natalee Holloway on the
Caribbean island of Aruba.
The judge’s ruling came
less than 24 hours after
the attorney for Dutchman
Joran van der Sloot filed a
writ of habeas corpus in an
attempt to stop the custody
transfer.
Law enforcement author-
ities scheduled the extradi-
tion for Thursday.
Van der Sloot’s attorney,
Maximo Altez, filed the
challenge Monday after his
client changed his mind and
decided to fight the govern-
ment’s decision to send him
to the U.S. to be prosecuted
on wire fraud and extortion
charges after a meeting with
Dutch diplomats.
Van der Sloot has been
serving a 28-year sentence
for the murder of a Peruvian
woman.
Kansas abortion law: Abor-
of Kansas on Tuesday, chal-
lenging a new law requir-
ing them to tell patients
that an abortion medication
can be stopped, and other
restrictions that include a
decades-old requirement
that patients wait 24 hours
to terminate their pregnan-
cies.
The lawsuit, filed in state
district court in Johnson
County in the Kansas City
area, argues that Kansas has
created a “Biased Counsel-
ing Scheme” designed to
discourage patients from
getting abortions and to stig-
matize patients who termi-
nate their pregnancies. The
lawsuit contends that the
requirements have become
“increasingly absurd and
invasive” over time and
spread medical misinfor-
mation.
The providers hope the
state courts will invali-
date the entire state law
that spells out what they
must tell patients — in writ-
ing — and when, with a
single, specific style of type
mandate for the forms.

Chicago Tribune
The Field Museum has a new
dinosaur, one that is both larger
and a better swimmer than Sue.
A 46-foot-long Spinosaurus cast
was suspended in the main hall
of the Field Museum on Friday,
pulled off the ground by wires
hanging from the glass ceiling.
It’s a display of the world’s larg-
est predatory dinosaur, surpassing
the museum’s famous T. rex fossil
Sue by 6 feet. The Spinosaurus was
semiaquatic, hunting prey in rivers.
For this reason, exhibit devel-
oper Benjamin Miller said they
decided to pose the cast in a swim-
ming position to “feel like you’re
a fish and this big river monster is
swimming down at you.”
The Spinosaurus is popular with
kids, Miller said, so it was natural
for the Field Museum to bring one
to Chicago.
“At some point in the last 10
years, every kid who likes dinosaurs
decided that Spinosaurus is their
favorite,” he said. When Miller leads
10 years, every kid who
likes dinosaurs decided
that Spinosaurus is their

hopefully it will make a lot of kids

Fox stumbles, recovers with style
From news services
Michael J. Fox lives with
Parkinson’s disease, but it
seems that won’t get in the
way of putting on a show.
Over the weekend, the
“Back to the Future” star,
61, appeared at Fan Expo
Philadelphia, where he
reunited with co-stars
Christopher Lloyd and
Thomas F. Wilson to
discuss the time travel
flick. However, his grand
entrance Sunday did not
seem to go according to
plan.
In a video, Fox appears
to enter the stage to roar-
ing applause from the
audience. While making
his way over to his seat, he
bows to Lloyd. However
after a couple of bows, Fox
loses his balance, stum-
bling until he lands on a
couch onstage.
Just as fans gasp and
groan, Fox jumps back on
his feet. “Wow,” he seems
to exclaim as audiences
whistle and cheer for his
recovery.
People in attendance
weren’t the only ones
commending Fox after the
fall. On Twitter, fans called
him a “serious trooper”
and a “an inspiration to us
all.” TikTokers lauded the
star for his “smooth recov-
ery.”
“Who cares if he fell,”
one TikTok user said. “He’s
a legend.”
Swift, Healy split: Singers
Taylor Swift and Matty
Healy have reportedly
called it quits fewer than
two months after they

reported the breakup news
Monday. A source told

that pop superstar Swift,
33, and the 1975 front-

REVIEW ‘AGNES OF GOD’ ★★★§
Drama doesn’t shy away from a difficult story
By Emily McClanathan
For the Chicago Tribune
In John Pielmeier’s 1979
drama “Agnes of God,” now
playing at Redtwist Theatre,
faith collides with reason
and past abuses haunt the
present when a young Cath-
olic nun is investigated after
the death of her newborn
baby. Directed by Clare
Brennan, this compelling
revival is part whodunit and
part psychological thriller,
with a dash of philosoph-
ical discourse that never
detracts from the painful
human drama at its center.
After its premiere at the
Eugene O’Neill Theater
Center, the play went on
to Broadway, a national
tour and several interna-
tional productions before
being adapted into a 1985
film starring Jane Fonda.
Pielmeier based the script
on the 1977 trial of a nun in
upstate New York, who was
charged with manslaugh-
ter and criminally negligent
homicide after her baby
was suffocated.
In the fictional version
of events, Sister Agnes
(Soleil Pérez) is 21 years old
when she secretly delivers
a child in her bedroom at
the convent. A gentle soul
with a simple mind and
an angelic singing voice,
Agnes was taken in by
Mother Superior Miriam
Ruth (Debra Rodkin) after
she was orphaned at the
age of 17. When the infant’s
body is discovered and
Agnes is arrested, the court
orders a psychiatric evalu-
ation of the young woman
by Dr. Martha Livingstone
(Jacqueline Grandt).
Pérez is mesmerizing as
Agnes; wide-eyed, eager
to please and shockingly
innocent of the ways of the
world, the nun claims not
to remember giving birth
or even understand the
mechanics of reproduction.
During her sessions with
Dr. Livingstone, it becomes
clear that she was severely
abused by her late mother,
who terrorizes her from
beyond the grave through

from the Inquisition,” says
Dr. Livingstone early on;
Miriam retorts, “And I’m
not from the Middle Ages.”
Mother-child troubles
come up not only for Agnes,
but for all three charac-
ters. Dr. Livingstone recalls
many arguments with her
mother over matters of reli-
gion, her choice of romantic
partners, etc. In the first act,
Miriam reveals that she was
a wife and mother before
taking her vows, but is now
estranged from her chil-
dren. In addition, she drops
a bombshell revelation
about Agnes’s family that
shakes up Dr. Livingstone’s
understanding of the case.
Rather than laying all the
blame at the feet of religion,
as this play easily could, it
also makes the point that
Sister wary of giving niece advice on ill mom
Dear Amy: I am an older
woman, retired after a long
career as a counselor.
I am the oldest of five
siblings. My sister is one
year younger. She is very
talented, creative and
generous. However, my
relationship with her can
often be difficult due to her
bipolar disorder.
She has described
herself “as mean as a
snake” during her manic
periods. She is medicated
and has been seeing a
psychiatrist for years. She
lives with her husband,
who drinks to excess after
he plays golf most days
and does volunteer work. I
think it’s how he manages.
My sister has had
conflicted relationships
with all four of her chil-
dren from time to time.
There is one daughter
in particular with whom
she has the most problems.
Perhaps they are more like
each other — I’m not sure.
That daughter contacted
me yesterday via text,
asking me if I could give

ASK AMY

You’ve dodged her
“ask,” but you don’t seem
to know the question yet.
She may need mainly to
express her own frustra-
tions or concerns. You
might be able to pass along
some of your own strate-
gies for maintaining a rela-
tionship with her mother.
In my experience, when
people ask for advice
(versus being offered
unsolicited advice), they
are more likely to listen,
consider it carefully and
(sometimes) follow it.
You know your sister. If
you believe that she might
use your contact with her
daughter against both of
you, you could emphasize
that your conversation
must remain private.
Dear Amy: When a loved
one dies, who should pay
for a luncheon after the
service? When my father
passed away, I was in a
poor financial situation.
After the service, all I
wanted to do was go home
and have time to myself.
I overheard several
people grumbling about no
after-service meal being
readied for the mourners.
Why should the grieving
party have to be sure that
attendees eat afterward?
The family is going
through enough losing
someone without trying
to come up with money to
feed the crowd. If attend-
ees want a meal after the
service, someone should
gather others and organize
something. Your thoughts?
— Grieving Daughter
Dear Grieving: There is
no one answer to this.
Some families who have
the means will cater a
lunch. Other families
will welcome mourners
(many bearing casseroles),
date about 26 audience
members. With dim light-
ing (by Sam Anderson) and
sacred vocal music playing
before the show, entering
the venue feels like being a
chorister in a small chapel.
At either end of the stage
is a church pew backed
by patterned screens that
stand at a diagonal angle.
Dr. Livingstone’s desk also
has an extreme tilt, giving
the sense that things are
off-kilter in this ostensibly
holy place.
For a woman as trou-
bled as Agnes, the judicial
system in which she finds
herself caught up offers
little optimism for the
future. Although Miriam
and Dr. Livingstone both
try to help her, they under-
stand that prison or a
back to the home, where
a friend or more distant
family member will help to
organize and serve.
Others will meet at the
corner pub to raise a glass
in memory of the departed.
In my church commu-
nity, a group of volunteers
fixes a lunch for those
who attended a funeral at
the church; the funds are
donated by others.
These gatherings can
be positive experiences
for family members; no
doubt sometimes they are
also absolutely exhausting.
No matter what, you (the
grieving party), were not
responsible to pay for, feed
and entertain people after
your father’s funeral.
The remarks you over-
heard were unconsciona-
ble. I’m very sorry.
Dear Amy: I read your
response to “Unsure” with
my mouth open.
Some 17 years ago, I had
an online relationship just
like Unsure’s. Although I
did meet my online person
in real life, he had all the
power because I forfeited
it, and I hung on far too
long hoping and, sadly,
even begging after he’d
clearly moved on with a
real-life partner.
Hindsight shows I
passed up several oppor-
tunities to create real-life
happiness holding onto
that attachment. I’m now
alone. I hope Unsure takes
your sage advice.

‘Ted Lasso’ finale proved show’s whole point
Way for people to
get unstuck may be
rank sentimentality
By Ted Anthony
Associated Press
Roy Kent cries. Nate
Shelley apologizes.
Rebecca Welton lets her
anger go. Trent Crimm
finishes his book. Keeley
Jones embraces her
strength. And the kind-to-
a-fault but often lost Ted
Lasso finally — after three
seasons, but arguably after
nearly a lifetime — figures
out exactly where he needs
to be.
Criticized by some for
losing its way in its third
season, “Ted Lasso” ended
up exactly on brand — by
taking a sharply drawn
crew of characters who had
lost their ways and gotten
stuck, and freeing them
from shackles that were
often of their own making.
“Can people change?” Roy
Kent (played by Brett Gold-
stein) wonders. The answer,
after the recent finale, is a
resounding “probably.”
“Perfect is boring,”
Coach Beard (Brendan
Hunt) says at one point in
the Season 3 (and likely
series) finale. And if there
had been a travel guide to
the Apple TV+ show, that
quote might well have sat
opposite the title page.
“Ted Lasso” has been
a Whitman’s Sampler
of pandemic-era stuck-
ness with a message that,
whether it was delivered
with a subtle glance or
a giant narrative mallet,
couldn’t help but resonate
in a post-pandemic land-
scape: The moments that
have trapped you don’t
have to last forever.

Prine doesn’t dodge
famous father’s legacy
Musician makes own way in compelling
debut album about loss, love, growing up
By Scott Stroud
Associated Press
Standing before a packed
house at the Basement,
one of the most intimate
music venues in Nashville,
Tennessee, Tommy Prine
talked about the death of
his father.
“It sucks to lose a parent
at any age — in my case
when he was the world’s
greatest songwriter,” he
said during a recent sold-
out show.
Prine’s father, singer-
songwriter John Prine,
​
died of complications from
COVID-19 in April 2020 at
age 73. His death prompted
a surge of worldwide
mourning remarkable even
for a time in which grief had
become an everyday thing.
The heartbreak was espe-
cially acute in the music
world. Prine’s kindness to
aspiring musicians only
added to the connections he
made with his music. Many
channeled their grief into
tribute songs, straining to
process the unthinkable.
It turns out something
similar was happening in
Prine’s own family.
Last year, Tommy Prine
released “Ships in the
Festival
from Page 8
represents a smaller collec-
tion of titles than the Music
Box’s previous festivals,
without the traditional
reliance on widescreen
warhorses dominating
past years’ calendars such
as “West Side Story,” or
“Spartacus,” or “Lawrence
of Arabia.”
There’s a reason for that,
says Music Box technical
director Julian Antos, one
of a team of projection-
ists well-versed in wran-
gling enormous cans of
wondrous, fragrant, entic-
ing analog photochemical
film.
This year’s films all came
from contemporary direc-
tors devoted to the 70mm
film format, albeit in differ-

were stuck — trapped in
the amber of their own
circumstances or choices.
Keeley (Juno Temple)
was stuck. Roy was stuck.
Jamie (Phil Dunster) was
stuck. Rebecca (Hannah
Waddingham) was stuck.
Trent, Colin and Sam
(James Lance, Billy Harris
and Toheeb Jimoh) were
stuck. Nate (Nick Moham-
med) was stuck. Even
Sharon the sports psychol-
ogist (Sarah Niles) was, to
some extent, stuck.
And of course Ted
himself (Jason Sudeikis),
a lost boy with a mustache
and a plenitude of plati-
tudes who had been stuck
in the quicksand of grief
for most of his life and,
it turned out, needed
a mission to get others
unstuck to help him find
his own way forward.
The character who’s
stuck in the mire is noth-
ing new. It has been a
useful and oft-used narra-
tive engine from “It’s a
Wonderful Life” (1946)
through “Groundhog Day”
(1993) and beyond.
Harbor,” a song as moving
and vulnerable as anything
written by anyone about
Prine’s father. It doesn’t
run from what he lost but
pushes back against the
impulse to curl up in the
fetal position. It comes as
close as any song out there
to putting the colossal
weight of grief caused by
the pandemic in its proper
place.
Prine, 27, is poised to put
out an entire album of songs
about loss, love and growing
up. “This Far South,” slated
for release June 23, is brave
not only in the head-on way
it deals with his father’s
death, but also in how the
son of a legend confronts
the inevitable questions
that come with practicing
the same craft.
In an undertaking laced
with risk, Prine neither
turns away nor tries too
hard. He has made an
album that’s all his own,
and it’s mesmerizing.
“Honestly, even if my dad
wasn’t who he was, I feel
like I would’ve made the
same record,” Prine said
in a recent interview. “I
didn’t include these songs
because of who he is, and I
also didn’t shy away from
ent ways and “workflows,”
Antos says. “Boogie Nights”
was filmed on 35mm, and
the recently struck 70mm
print should look “very,
very, very nice,” he says.
“Nope” was shot almost
entirely on 65mm film,
nearly half the footage
using IMAX cameras, plus
35mm film for a few scenes.
From that, a digital inter-
mediate was made for the
movie’s digitally projected
run in multiplexes. A
70mm film print came after
that, as part of the film’s
awards-season campaign
— to no avail for “Nope”
Oscars-wise, but to plenty
of avail for 70mm film fans.
“Babylon” and “Incep-
tion” followed similar
workflows, both filmed
in 35mm, which led to a
digital intermediate, and
then back to film for 70mm
But something more
intense is happening lately.
Take a tour across genres
in the American streaming
landscape over the past,
say, four years, and you’ll
find a surfeit of stuckness in
pretty much every direc-
tion you look.
The Scarlet Witch in
Marvel’s “WandaVision”?
Stuck. Nadia in “Russian
Doll”? Stuck in strikingly
different ways in Seasons 1
and 2. Alma in “Undone,”
Carmy in “The Bear” and
“Mare of Easttown”? Stuck,
stuck and stuck. Even
some of streaming’s most
recent stars — “Severance,”
“Shrinking” and “Star Trek:
Picard” — focus on central
characters who are stuck
by bad choices, trauma or a
lost sense of purpose.
Then there are the shows
about the very embodiment
of stuckness: “Ghosts” and
“School Spirits,” both of
which address the problem
from the vantage point of
people who have shuffled
off the mortal coil but —
even then — can’t seem to
figure out how to get where
them because of who he is.”
Writing songs helped
Prine sort through all he
had lost. The intimacy of
that journey makes his
father’s legendary status feel
almost like a distraction.
“I’m Tommy Prine, and I
lost my dad in the pandemic,
and that’s going to be a focal
point of what I’m trying to
get across,” he explained.
“And like, I understand that
it was a pretty public thing,
and most people are going
to have that context — and
I think it will actually serve
the record that they have
that context — but you
know, I don’t think that they
need to.
“I think they can just
listen to it from the perspec-
tive of a young man who
lost his father too soon.”
The occasional refer-
ences are vivid but never
cloying: the card games
they won’t play, the conver-
sations they won’t have. In
a beautiful song called “By
the Way,” he touches on
the unique experience of
hearing his father’s voice in
unexpected moments.
“I don’t want to talk about
the day you slipped away,”
Prine sings. “It’s still hard to
hear your voice in the songs
that we used to sing.”
But Prine shares other
vulnerabilities, and the
influences of people who
screenings such as next
month’s at the Music Box.
What’s all that mean for
the actual visual experi-
ence of watching a movie
in 70mm?
“The end result,” Antos
says, “the prints we’re
showing — all but ‘Incep-
tion’ are brand new. This
is the finest quality you
can get with a projected
image, in terms of light,
and color and sharpness.
The depth of the image has
this wonderful texture and
weight to it that’s just so … “
Brief pause, then the word
comes to him: ”pleasant.”
The real test, Antos says,
requires some field work.
“If you’re at a multiplex,
and you open the door to
one of the auditoriums
and check out the “Super
Mario Bros” movie or
one of the Marvel movies,
they’re going.
“Ted Lasso” distilled this
theme to the Nth degree
without resorting to super-
natural activity. This batch
of humans was, viewed
from a bit of a distance, an
entire citadel of stuckness
— albeit in varied ways.
Keeley was paralyzed by
uncertainty, Roy by anger,
Jamie by trauma and ego,
and Trent by expectations.
Nate was being derailed by
feelings of inadequacy, and
Colin by a fear of judgment.
Sam was stuck by expecta-
tions familial and national.
Rebecca was drowning
in the scars of a partner’s
psychological abuse.
Arguably the only main
character not stuck was
Leslie Higgins (Jeremy
Swift), jazz virtuoso and
dedicated family man —
and the only character to
understand all along that
right here, right now was
the place he wanted to be.
He had a leg up on many
of us. The COVID-19
pandemic was, for a time,
stuckness incarnate. “Ted
Lasso” debuted right in
Tommy Prine, son of the late singer-songwriter John Prine, is
seen April 25 in Nashville, Tennessee. GEORGE WALKER IV/AP
aren’t his father figure in as
much or even more.
The hand of co-producer
Ruston Kelly, for example,
can be heard in the album’s
anthemic flourishes and
confessional lyrics. A song
called “Reach the Sun”
starts with a late-night
panic attack but ultimately
soars in a style reminiscent
of Kelly’s best work.
Kelly joined Prine
onstage at the Basement,
and in an interview after-
ward mentioned another
influence on both of them,
Sufjan Stevens.
Kelly had steered Prine
toward Stevens’ “Carrie &
Lowell” album, and Prine
heard a sound suited to the
wistful urgency he wanted
to convey.
Prine said he never set
you’re going to see some-
thing that looks a certain
way.” A little dingy. A little
clinical. A lot of underlit
green-screen murk.
Compared to that visual
experience, July’s Music
Box 70mm festival “should
be a nice chance for people
to see images thoughtfully
made for their enjoyment.”
Individual tickets for “New
Adventures in 70MM”

members. Four-film passes

the middle of it, on Aug. 14,
2020. Now, almost three
years later, aren’t we navi-
gating through an entire
generation coming of age
amid an isolating pandemic
and deep political fissures?
Aren’t there millions of
folks locked in tiny, indi-
vidual struggles to avoid
getting stuck or trying to
avoid staying that way?
The other elephant in the
“Ted Lasso” room — one
directly related to stuckness
— is also something that
invoked the British-Amer-
ican divide so often played
​
for laughs on the show.
Earlier this year, the
“Lasso” cast visited the
White House to talk about
mental health. At the time,
Sudeikis said this: “We
shouldn’t be afraid to ask
for help ourselves.”
That suggests — no,
proposes overtly — that
going it alone, “Ameri-
can-style,” isn’t always
plausible and that, as the
​
poet John Donne put it so
many centuries ago, “No
man is an island entire of
itself; every man is a piece
out to be a singer-song-
writer — “It was probably
​
the last thing I wanted to
do for the rest of my life” —
but it proved to be a “saving
grace” when he confronted
the challenge of losing his
father.
Given the shadow that
looms over anyone named
Prine who dares to try his
hand at creating original
music, listeners would do
well to imagine how they
would respond if they didn’t
know this album came from
the son of a legend.
It’s possible, maybe even
likely, that Prine’s music
will find a whole new audi-
ence, on social media and
in other ways music passes
from hand to hand these
days. Some listeners his
age and younger may never
Museum
from Page 8
ered in 2008 by a team
in the Saharan Desert,
including Field Museum
researcher Matteo Fabbri.
Fabbri said the 2008
discovery changed scien-
tists’ understanding of just
how much the Spinosau-
rus spent swimming.
It has dense bones that
made swimming easier, for
example, unlike birds or
other predatory dinosaurs
that have hollow bones.
Those bones would have
helped it submerge itself
underwater in pursuit of
prey.
“It was the first time
we had a smoking gun
to say that this dinosaur
was spending a lot of
time swimming in water,”
of the continent, a part of
the main.” The bringing
together of so many differ-
ent people from so many
places — an international
soccer team — provided
the ideal canvas for the
show’s thesis. Turns out
that varied points of view
can produce better results.
Go figure.
Those who say “Ted
Lasso” was treacly and
wandered a bit during the
third season make legit-
imate points. Plot lines
were dropped or overly
compressed. Nuanced
antiheroes were not this
show’s jam, and never did
dark doings define the day.
The only true villain —
Rupert Mannion (Anthony
Head) — was mostly a foil, a
scheming island alone in a
sea of sentimentality.
That was OK. Because if
the show had a message for
the stuck among us, it was
this: Maybe, just maybe,
rank sentimentality can get
you unstuck. And more to
the point, maybe you get
unstuck by bringing a piece
of yourself to everyone
else. “The best we can do,”
Higgins says, “is to keep
asking for help and accept-
ing it when you can.”
Feelings get you stuck,
but feelings also set you
free. Effort can make you
vulnerable, but effort
matters.
“I just had to try,”
Rebecca tells Ted at one
point in the finale. That’s
ultimately the answer to
getting unstuck. And it
points right back to the
song we heard every week
in the opening credits — the
key, in the end, to unlocking
the whole show.
“It might be all that you
get.
I guess this might well
be it.
But heaven knows I
tried ...”
“Honestly, even if
my dad wasn’t who
he was, I feel like
I would’ve made
the same record. I
didn’t include these
songs because of
who he is, and I also
didn’t shy away
from them because
of who he is.”
— Tommy Prine about
his debut album,
“This Far South”
have heard of his father,
but these songs will make
connections on their own.
Anyone who listens will
hear the promise of an
artist following his heart
with uncommon courage.
John Prine fans might hear
something familiar in the
album’s disarming honesty,
but they’d also encounter a
new voice delivering music
that crackles with intensity.
Tommy Prine says he
doesn’t think about the
legacy question much,
though it has crossed his
mind. But that’s just one
more thing that he has put
in its proper place.
“I’m just making the
music that I want to make,
and music that is a repre-
sentation of who I am as a
person,” he said. “I had a
completely different set of
experiences growing up
than my father had, and I
have my own story to tell.”
Fabbri said.
He said it was amaz-
ing to see the Spinosau-
rus lifted up into its new
home. The cast was made
in Italy, then shipped to
the museum by plane.
“Four a.m., we started
mounting the specimen,
and it was a great, great feel-
ing to see that everything
went well,” Fabbri said.

Filmmaker Roach journeys into Crossword

TV land for quirky, noirish show
By Lindsey Bahr
Associated Press

Filmmaker Jay Roach

usually has a moment of
panic and doubt before
production starts on a proj-
ect. It’s something Sydney
Pollack, a mentor of his,
once assured him was
normal. He had also read
something similar about
Mike Nichols in a biogra-
phy. Good company to be
in, sure, but still not the
greatest feeling to be think-
ing, “I’ve made a horrible
mistake, and how can I get
out of this?”
But for his latest
endeavor, “High Desert,”
his first foray into episodic
television, he didn’t have
that. Now in the midst of
its eight-episode run on
Apple TV+, “High Desert”
stars Patricia Arquette as
a hustler named Peggy
Newman, a former addict
and dealer scraping by
in the Southern Califor-
nia desert, working as a
saloon girl in an Old West-
themed park. Her husband
​
(Matt Dillon) is in jail. Her
mother (Bernadette Peters)
has recently died. And
more strait-laced siblings
(Christine Taylor, Keir
O’Donnell) are looking to
sell the home she lives in.
In an attempt to make some
extra money to keep her
place, she decides to pick
up P.I. work, though her
methods are different from
her reluctant boss (Brad
Garrett).
Peggy, Roach said, was
like a “rock ’n’ roll Lucy
Ricardo.” She’s dysfunc-
tional on one level, but also
has a wholly unique swag-
ger and confidence that’s
not unwarranted, which
comes to life through
Arquette’s performance,
partly inspired by Patti
Smith and the Runaways.
Roach got the script —
written by Nancy Fichman,
Jennifer Hoppe, and Katie
Ford — from Ben Stiller, a
longtime friend who is an
executive producer, to see
if he’d consider directing
the pilot. Soon, Roach was
asking to do all eight.
Jay Roach, seen May 3, directed “High Desert,” his first time
working in episodic television. CHARLES SYKES/INVISION

New investors raise
team’s value to $85M
Cubs co-owner Ricketts

By Julia Poe
Chicago Tribune
The Chicago Sky are adding
new investors and a splash of
capital as the team seeks to
expand its facilities, staff and
player resources amid a year of
record growth for the WNBA.
The franchise’s owners sold
10% of the team this week to a
group of investors — including
Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts
— for $8.5 million, providing the
team with a new valuation of $85
million.
The Sky’s valuation is now
second in the WNBA behind
the Seattle Storm, who set their
Chicago’s best sports section, as judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors

Stroman, the organization
was told, was donating $20,000
to Brave Space Alliance to aid
its work on the South and West
sides.
“I’m going to be very frank: It

These values are a dramatic shift

ern Conference title.
With this new round of invest-
ment, the Sky added six minority
owners — all women.
Aside from Ricketts, the group
includes Foot Locker CEO Mary

Contemporary Art chair Cari

PGA, European tours

Controversial move
ends feud, lawsuits

The PGA Tour ended its expen-

golf venture and now is joining
forces with it, making a stun-

merger that creates a commercial
operation with the Public Invest-

As part of the deal, the sides
immediately are dropping all
lawsuits involving LIV Golf.
From the golf side, still to be

Brooks Koepka and Dustin John-

defecting last year for signing

Grifol
enjoying
climb in
1st year
Manager trying to
utilize lessons learned
from previous jobs
By LaMond Pope
Chicago Tribune
NEW YORK — All of Pedro
Grifol’s previous roles in base-
ball — from scouting to serving
as a bench coach — have come in
handy during his first season as
a big-league manager with the
White Sox.
“Every single job,” Grifol said
in the visiting manager’s room at
Yankee Stadium before Tuesday’s
3-2 victory against the New York
Yankees. “All the way from my
area scouting, when you have to
learn how to evaluate, to advance
scouting to international, every
single job I’ve had has served a
(purpose).”
He recalled a conversation he
had Monday with bench coach
Charlie Montoyo about winter ball.
“I managed four years of winter
ball — it’s a tough environment
to manage in,” Grifol said. “I was
managing guys who were older
than me and that taught me a
ton. Just the day-to-day stuff that
you had to take care of and worry
about. Every job has been really
important for this.”
Just more than 60 games into
his big-league managerial career,
Grifol said he hasn’t been surprised
by much. Part of it comes from
what he learned in all those previ-
ous roles. And also his coaching
staff.
“I have a good staff, man. I
think the staff is really important,”
Grifol said. “They have experience,
they’ve been in the big leagues a
long time. The versatility of this
staff, the wisdom and experience
they have.”
The job right now for Grifol and
the coaching staff is to try to dig
out from a rough start. The Sox are
20-14 since beginning the season
7-21.
“I’m enjoying the climb,” he said
when asked if he’s still enjoying the

From the commercial side,
the governor of Saudi Arabia’s
sovereign wealth fund joins the
PGA Tour board of directors and
leads the new business venture as
chairman, though the PGA Tour
will have a majority stake.
News of the deal came as a
surprise to many watchers of
the lawsuits and Saudi Arabia’s
inroads into U.S. politics, sports
and culture.
“This is a huge development and
obviously upends a world of golf,”
said Kristian Ulrichsen, a Middle
East fellow at Houston’s Baker
Institute.
Under Crown Prince Moham-
med bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s
sovereign wealth fund has made a
point of seeking out investments,
like LIV, where it could shake up
existing industries, Ulrichsen said.

U.S. women’s sports, a key focus for
Nadia Rawlinson, who joined the
franchise as operating chairman
and co-owner in January.
“It’s pretty significant when you
can live your passion and purpose,”
Rawlinson told the Tribune. “With
women who are notable in their
own right, to come in as investor
owners and to really play a role in
women’s sports and bringing that
into the future is a pretty heady
opportunity.
“I respect deeply each and every
one of these women. There’s no
words to describe it and I feel very
proud to be a part of this group
and helping bring it together. It is
a highlight of my career to be able
to do that with these women.”
The new valuation, conducted
by Loop Capital, included addi-
tional investments from Rawlin-
son and longtime minority owner
John Rogers. The sale is pending
final approval from the WNBA’s
Board of Governors.
Longtime owner Michael Alter
will retain his primary stake in
the Sky. The remaining previous
minority investors also will retain
their places in the ownership
group, although details regarding
individual stake values were not
disclosed.
The addition of Ricketts is
a long-awaited move after she
entered into preliminary conver-
sations with the Sky last summer
about an investment in the team.
Ricketts felt investing in the Sky
aligned with the philanthropic
goals of her and her wife, Brooke
Skinner.
She already was working in
coordination with the Sky after
facilitating the team’s multiyear
broadcasting deal on the Cubs-
owned Marquee Sports Network.
“Brooke and I would love to
support the Sky in any way we
can,” Ricketts told the Tribune last
July. “We really respect, admire
and appreciate all that Michael
Alter has done for that team. They
are one of a few (WNBA) teams
that weren’t started in connection
with an NBA team, and so the chal-
lenges that has had and the impact
that has had on the team makes
Michael’s investment all the more
impressive and I really appreciate
that.”
Rawlinson described Ricketts as
“an amazing support to the fran-
chise” even before she officially
invested.
While a connection with the
Cubs was welcome, Rawlinson
said Ricketts’ inclusion reflected
the Sky’s emphasis on finding
“sophisticated investors” when
assembling this group of minority

Copper missed the Sky’s first
free throw in 17 attempts with
2:07 left in regulation, but they
secured the offensive rebound.
Copper made her next two free
throws during a three-point
possession to tie it at 85.
Rookie Aliyah Boston broke
a tie on each of Indiana’s final
three possessions of regulation —
the last for a 91-89 lead with 2.7
seconds left.
But after a timeout, Smith beat
the buzzer with a layup to force
overtime.
All five starters for Indiana (1-5)

owners.
“Of course (Ricketts’ inclusion)
is a great signal, but that’s not why
we thought this would be a great
partnership,” Rawlinson said. “It
wasn’t, ‘Oh, let’s look at what the
synergies are between the Chicago
Sky and the venerable Chicago
Cubs franchise.’ That wasn’t the
primary focus. It was really going
back to the values of alignment,
that we were singing from the
same songbook and that we had
the same belief system. And so it
felt right.
“(Ricketts) has been someone
who’s opened up her resources
from expertise and best practices
that (the Cubs) have for us to learn
from and vice versa. I think there’s
a huge opportunity there on both
sides.”
For Rawlinson and the Sky front
office, attention will turn quickly to
the next milestone — creating an
independent training facility.
The Sky currently train at Sachs
Recreation Center in Deerfield,
a 29-mile drive from the team’s
home court at Wintrust Arena.
Players don’t have 24/7 access to
a gym or weight room.
The team previously improved
provisions for players within the
recreation center — purchasing
high-tech recovery equipment
such as a $50,000 AlterG tread-
mill, building a separate weight
room and creating a family room
for parents on the team — but
Alter told the Tribune the owner-
ship group understands that a
separate facility is a necessary
next step.
While the team is open to
scouting sites throughout the city,
Rawlinson said the primary goal
is to develop a facility either near
Wintrust Arena in the South Loop
or on the South Side. The Sky’s
lease at Sachs Recreation Center
ends in 2024, which the team could
target as an early goal to move into
a newly established facility.
“These projects tend to take
multiple years, so it’s not going to
be this season — but it’s also not
going to be five years from now,”
Rawlinson said. “This is definitely
in the near to mid term and some-
thing that we can feel confident
talking about and getting people
excited about the opportunity of
what the Sky practice facility will
be.”
Rawlinson said the Sky feel
“pretty comfortable” with their
current financial positioning,
although another round of fund-
raising or future capital infusions
aren’t off the table.
Besides investment in an inde-
pendent training facility, the
Sky will utilize the new invest-
ment capital to improve the
team’s marketing and expand the
front-office staff.

BLACKHAWKS PROSPECT WATCH
Injuries tested Nazar
2022 draft pick showed
resilience, feels more
mature for camp
By Phil Thompson
Chicago Tribune
During Blackhawks develop-
ment camp last summer Frank
Nazar — fresh off being drafted
in the first round — looked and
sounded like a fresh-faced kid.
“Just seeing the jersey and real-
izing that this is the NHL kind of
set in, like, ‘Wow, this is what I’ve
always been looking forward to.’
I thought that was pretty cool,”
a wide-eyed Nazar told Chicago
reporters in July.
Less than a year later you can
hear the maturation in Nazar’s
voice.
“I guess that’s what college
does to you,” he said with a laugh
during an interview with the
Tribune.
“I’m just learning all those life
aspects, like learning how to cook
or how to do my own laundry. Just
trying to figure my way around.”
It’s more than that.
Nazar went through some
sobering experiences during his
freshman season at Michigan.
The center’s start was delayed
last fall by a lower-body injury
that required surgery — he still
doesn’t want to get into the details
— but he learned a lot about
himself from that early setback.
“When I first found out the
news, I was kind of scared, like,
‘Oh, am I missing the whole
season? Like, am I going to be out
the whole time?’ ” he said.
“I was able to find out that if I
worked really hard and (if ) every-
thing went really well recov-
ery-wise, I’d be able to come back
and make it for the playoffs. So
every time I went to the weight
room or went on the ice, it was
something that I thought of for
a goal.”
Nazar was out 18 weeks and
returned Feb. 10 for the Wolver-
ines’ Big Ten tournament series
against Michigan State.
The first game was uneventful
for Nazar — a good thing — but
he had reservations about play-
ing the next day, the “Duel in the
D” in Detroit.
“I was still debating whether I
should play in the second game,
so I didn’t push it too hard,” he

“That’s sort of one of their
mantras, is to try to be disruptive
and to take on the status quo,” she
said. “And in this case, they seem
to have succeeded.”
As for PGA Tour players, most
were bewildered by the shocking
turnaround. It didn’t help that a
news outlet broke the embargoed
announcement before PGA Tour
Commissioner Jay Monahan
could send a memo to the players.
Most learned of the development
on social media.
“I love finding out about morn-
ing news on Twitter,” two-time
major champion Collin Morikawa
tweeted.
Many were not happy. Wesley
Bryan tweeted, “I feel betrayed,
and will not ... be able to trust
anyone within the corporate
structure of the PGA Tour for a
very long time.”
Byeong Hun An added on Twit-
ter: “I’m guessing the liv teams
were struggling to get sponsors
and pga tour couldn’t turn down
the money. Win-win for both
tours but it’s a big lose for who
defended the tour for last two
years.”
The announcement comes a
year after LIV Golf began. Mona-
han was at the Canadian Open
that week and said pointedly
about any player who joined
LIV or was thinking about it:
“Have you ever had to apologize
for being a member of the PGA
Tour?”
Now they are partners, giving
Saudi Arabia a commercial voice
in golf’s premier organization.

path, we were going down ours,

said. “I ended up deciding to play
because it’s a big game.”
Nazar played and he scored —
unassisted.
“Definitely helped a lot,” Nazar
said. “It was a pretty good bounce
my way, but I ended up getting
into a two-on-one and coming in
and faking the shot and shooting
it over the goalie’s glove.
“But (it meant a lot) just scor-
ing that goal after being out for so
long, in front of that many people,
and I had a ton of friends and
family there.”
Nazar learned a lot last season
about mental strength — and not
only his own.
After a locker room outbreak of
adenovirus, defenseman Steven
Holtz was placed into a medi-
cally induced coma after suffer-
ing complications.
“Just going through what I
went through,” Nazar said, “and
what our team had to go through
with all of our ups and downs with
our player being put into a coma
and him coming out, and scoring
the game-winning goal (in over-
time March 3) against Wisconsin
in our first playoff game … mental
realize all this tension in the game
is not a good thing,” Monahan said
in a phone interview with The
Associated Press.
“We have a responsibility to our
tour and to the game, and we felt
like the time was right to have that
conversation.”
Monahan was headed to
Toronto to meet with players at
the Canadian Open, though most
top players are not there. And
while this likely will only lead to
greater riches in golf, there still
was explaining to do on why the
tour would merge with a group
that tried to take away some of
the PGA Tour’s best players and
was seen as the latest example of
“sportswashing.”
“I understand the criticism,”
Monahan said. “For me, you
take the information you have at
the time and make decisions in
the best interests. Things have
changed. This was the right time
to have this conversation.”
The deal was in the works
for the last seven weeks, when
Monahan first met with Yasir
Al-Rumayyan, governor of the
Public Investment Fund. Players
typically approve changes to the
schedule and other competition
matters. On this one, they were
left out.
“No one had word of this,”
Monahan said. “Our players
expect us to operate in the best
interests of the tour.”
Instead, he cited guidance from
corporate members of the PGA
Tour board.
Still, Monahan has his toughest
work ahead of him.
He sought loyalty from his play-
ers against a league accused of
taking part in sportswashing, an
attempt by Saudi Arabia to shift
focus away from its human rights
abuses, such as the 2018 killing of

strength was a huge part of my
game that I was able to dial in on
and realize how important it was.”
Nazar finished with two goals
and five assists in 13 games but
didn’t feel like his game reached
100%.
“After going through an injury
like that, being able to come back
and gain more speed and power,
I think that’s what I was missing
a little bit at the end of the year —
that little jump,” he said. “I didn’t
feel slow, but I didn’t feel like I
had that one extra step on the guy
like I normally do.”
That has been part of his train-
ing this summer — “I’ve got a lot
of making up to do after missing
some time” — as well as building
on his skills.
He considers himself “a little
underrated” on defense, “just like
my hockey IQ and being able to
read plays and be able to transi-
tion from defense to offense fast
and use that to my advantage.”
Nazar is likely a candidate to
join the Hawks after his second
college season ends next spring,
but he didn’t want to speculate on
his future beyond the fall.
He plans to attend Hawks
development camp after this
month’s draft, then “I plan on
coming back to Michigan for
next year as of right now. Have
a good summer and come back
even better.”
journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Now the very group that posed
such a threat is now the PGA
Tour’s commercial partner.
Along the way, PGA Tour play-
ers also got rich. The tour raised
prize money at elite events to $20
million, the same purse for LIV’s
individual competition. The 2024
schedule has been reshaped for
roughly 16 tournaments like that.
“In the short term, I expect a
lot of questions and criticism,”
Monahan said. “In the long run,
players who stayed with the PGA
Tour will see they benefited in
many ways.”
The agreement combines the
Public Investment Fund’s golf-re-
lated commercial businesses and
rights — including LIV Golf —
with those of the PGA and Euro-
pean tours. The new entity has
not been named.
Al-Rumayyan will join the
board of the PGA Tour, which
continues to operates its tourna-
ments. The PIF will invest in the
commercial venture.
“From the very beginning, the
whole initiative was how to grow
the game of golf,” Al-Rumayyan
said. “And I think what was
achieved today was exactly that.”
Augusta National and the
Royal & Ancient welcomed the
news because it ends the bitter
feud. Augusta National said the
deal “represents a positive devel-
opment in bringing harmony to
men’s professional golf.” R&A
CEO Martin Slumbers said it
would help golf “move forward
in a collaborative, constructive
and innovative fashion.”
As for the new role of Greg
Norman, Al-Rumayyan said
only that Norman is LIV Golf’s
commissioner and details of his
future role would be announced
in the coming weeks.

Cubs get shut out

Hendricks shows
flashes of dominance
against the Padres
By Meghan Montemurro
Chicago Tribune
SAN DIEGO — A long layoff and
serious shoulder injury can create
uncertainty in which version of a
pitcher comes back, even with Kyle
Hendricks’ pedigree.
The Cubs’ inconsistencies over
the last five weeks continued in
a four-game series split against
the Padres, getting shut out twice,
including Monday’s 5-0 loss.
Hendricks, though, pitched well
in his third start back. He went six
innings and allowed four runs with
most of the damage coming in a
three-run second when he lost his
rhythm.
“It looked like vintage Kyle to
me,” manager David Ross said.
Ross was forced to watch most
of the game from the clubhouse
after getting tossed one out into the
second inning. He stormed out of
the visitors dugout at Petco Park
moments after his ejection when
Hendricks fell behind 2-0 to Padres

items that you’ve never had to get
before are expensive.
“That’s our second-biggest
program.”
Stroman researched and found
three LGBTQ+ nonprofit organi-
zations to donate to in honor of
Pride month, one in each city he
has represented during his nine-
year big-league career: The 519
in Toronto, Hetrick-Martin Insti-
tute in New York and Brave Space
Alliance in Chicago, which was
founded five years ago during a
trans liberation march.
“It’s very sad and weird to me
how people can have such hate
for a group of people. They’re no
different than any of us,” Stroman
told the Tribune. “So, yeah, any
opportunity I get to support or
to show them that I’m there with
them, I’m always going to do that.
“Unfortunately baseball culture
and how a lot of people think in
baseball from top down, it’s pretty
scary. Even throwing out that
‘Love is love’ (on Twitter), like I
tell people, just go through the
comments yourself and that just
shows where baseball is.”
Stroman’s public support of
the LGBTQ+ community reso-
nates beyond the sport at a time
when trans people in particular
have been targeted through states’
legislation.
“It means he wants to be more
than an ally at this point — you’re
a comrade and you’re an advocate,
you’re an accomplice. And that is
what we need right now,” Rice
said. “We need our allies to evolve

catcher Gary Sánchez.
A fuming Ross directed his frus-
tration about an inconsistent strike
zone to plate umpire Phil Cuzzi,
who handed him his second ejection
of the season. Sánchez connected
for a two-run homer three pitches
later.
“I just thought our guys were
grinding some really good at-bats
early on the first two innings,” Ross
said. “That guy (Blake Snell) has got
a high walk rate to righties and there
were some balls that weren’t strikes
called strikes on the outer edge.
I just wanted to try to voice that a
little bit and probably got a little too
aggressive with it.”
Hendricks could have benefited
from those same strike calls Snell
received early. However, he down-
played the differing strike zones.
“You don’t worry about it,”
Hendricks said. “You’re just trying to
to the point where you are taking
a public stand, you’re using your
platforms to say, ‘No, not here in
Illinois, not here in Chicago.’
“Because we are surrounded
by states who have anti-LGBTQ
legislation, Illinois has become a
refugee state for medical refugees,
folks who are seeking not only
gender-affirming care, but abor-
tions and things like that too. So
this is a really organic and inten-
tional way to reiterate Chicago’s
dedication and Illinois’ dedication
to our community as a whole.”
Stroman said he was very
bothered by Blue Jays reliever
Anthony Bass sharing a video on
social media last week that advo-
cated for anti-LGBTQ+ boycotts
of companies such as Target and
Anheuser-Busch.
This followed the Los Angeles
Dodgers uninviting, then re-invit-
ing, the Sisters of Perpetual Indul-
gence to their Pride Night on June
16. Controversy arose when U.S.
Sen. Marco Rubio and former
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence
claimed the nonprofit’s members
dressing as Catholic nuns is offen-
sive.
Washington Nationals and
former Cubs pitcher Trevor
Williams posted a statement May
30 on Twitter objecting to the
Dodgers’ decision to again include
the Sisters of Perpetual Indul-
gence, which has fundraised and
worked in the LGTBQ+ commu-
nity since 1979.
“I’m a big believer everyone’s
equal,” Stroman said. “It doesn’t
matter who that person decides to
love. It’s still a human being at the
end of the day. How I see people
talking about it, I want to support

make your pitches and you’re trying
to get bad contact anyway and get
outs, so I’m looking for swings. It
was unfortunate Rossy had to go out
there. I think that was more protect-
ing our hitters.”
Hendricks gestured toward
Cuzzi after his 1-0 pitch to Sánchez
because he didn’t see whether Cuzzi
called a ball or strike.
“It was definitely a ball — it was in
— so I went back to Ross,” Hendricks
said, “but he said he wasn’t reacting
to me at all, it was off our hitters. I’ve
just got to keep making my pitches.”
Hendricks didn’t walk a batter
and struck out four in the loss. It
was his first time working with
rookie catcher Miguel Amaya in a
big-league game after they teamed
up at Triple-A Iowa for two of
Hendricks’ five rehab starts. He
complimented Amaya’s work
behind the plate, crediting the rook-
them even more. Going through
my mentions and seeing how
people are, it’s a very toxic world
we live in.
“I do things in the moment with
how I feel, and that’s how I felt.”
The Cubs will host their annual
Pride celebration next Tuesday at
Wrigley Field. The team will make
a donation to the Legacy Project
— a Chicago-based cultural and
education nonprofit centered on
researching and promoting the
contributions of LGBTQ+ individ-
uals — to support the creation of a
bronze memorial marker in honor
of Glenn Burke, the first openly
gay MLB player. The marker will
be displayed on the Legacy Walk
in Lake View.
A Pride market, featuring
LGBTQ-owned and -friendly
businesses, will be open from
4:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Galla-
gher Way outside Wrigley. Pride
flags will fly around the Wrigley
marquee through June.
“I look forward to our Pride
Celebration every year,” co-owner
Laura Ricketts said in a statement
announcing the team’s Pride
events. “The Cubs have celebrated
and championed the LGBTQ+
community for decades, not just
during Pride Month, but all year
round. I’m honored to represent
both the Cubs organization and
the LGBTQ+ community and
serve as an advocate for diversity,
equity and inclusion.”
Second baseman Nico Hoerner
wanted to highlight Stroman’s
initiative and the step he’s taking
to support the LGBTQ+ commu-
nity by sharing the pitcher’s post
to his own Instagram story Friday.
It was Hoerner’s way of appreciat-
ie’s presence.
Hendricks received three pitch-
clock violations, which he attributed
to losing his rhythm on the mound.
“When things speed up and
you’ve got a lot going on, guys on
base, really got to simplify things
and just have some things you can
go to,” Hendricks said. “So that’s
an adjustment we’ll make between
starts, but it’s been getting easier and
easier for sure.”
Even with the one-inning hiccup,
Hendricks gave the Cubs the type
of start they needed. He kept them
in the game and looked stronger
as the outing progressed. It’s an
encouraging outcome given the
unknowns that surrounded his
return and which version the Cubs
would see.
“I feel really good to be honest,”
Hendricks said. “Body physically
feels great, shoulder feels great. And
I feel like life’s on it. Everything’s
coming out like I want. A lot of soft
contact, just a couple of pitches over
the middle there when I got out of
the rhythm.
“But other than that, really
executed everything from there on
out. I can definitely roll with that
and I feel like I’m in a great spot.”
ing Stroman’s vocal and financial
support.
“Baseball is a game that should
be for everybody to enjoy,”
Hoerner told the Tribune. “It’s
a space that I hope is open to all
types of people. I don’t think me
sharing anything is that big of a
statement, but if there is an oppor-
tunity for a fan out there to feel
like they’re included and appreci-
ated in our game, that’s significant.
“It’s kind of a no-brainer for
me, but I know there’s been some
controversy lately with the stuff in
LA. I just hope that baseball feels
like a game that’s approachable for
all types of people.”
Hoerner’s public acknowledg-
ment was not lost on Stroman.
“He’s someone who really gets
life, I feel like, from all angles, and
that’s something that’s missing in
this game,” Stroman said. “Some-
times baseball players or athletes,
people forget to be human beings
and just go through life thinking
that we’re human beings, not just
these people that play a sport for
a living. So Nico’s very conscious
of that.”
Aside from Stroman’s impact-
ful donation, Brave Space Alli-
ance receives grants, though the
essence of its funding comes from
small, reoccurring monthly dona-
tions ranging from $5 to $100.
“That speaks volumes to the
political climate of Chicago,” Rice
said. “We are all realizing that our
liberation is all connected and that
the way we become free and liber-
ated is if we’re all free and liber-
ated. It’s close to my heart that
most of our funding is from our
Chicago living folks who just want
to support what we’re doing.”
WHITE SOX 3,
YANKEES 2
Giolito
pitches
6 no-hit
innings
By LaMond Pope
Chicago Tribune
NEW YORK — Lucas Giolito
was nearly part of another
historic night.
Giolito pitched six no-hit
innings for the White Sox in a
3-2 victory against the Yankees
on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
Giolito struck out seven and
walked three, exiting after
throwing 100 pitches.
Joe Kelly entered in the
seventh and struck out the first
two batters before walking
Willie Calhoun. Isiah Kiner-
Falefa broke up the combined
no-hit bid when his fly to
left-center fell between Andrew
Benintendi and Luis Robert
Jr. for an RBI double. There
appeared to be miscommuni-
cation between the outfielders.
Giolito and three relievers
combined for a three-hitter to
win the opener of the three-
game series.
The Sox were vying for the
21st no-hitter in franchise
history. Giolito threw the 19th
on Aug. 25, 2020, against the
Pittsburgh Pirates at Guaran-
teed Rate Field.
That one was played with no
fans in the stands because of the
pandemic.

job. “Obviously I did not enjoy
at all the 10-game losing streak.
I didn’t enjoy 7-21. Did not enjoy
that.
“But I’m enjoying getting
better and playing better. I’m
enjoying getting better all the
way round: the team, myself,
the staff.”
Grifol knows improvements
are needed offensively, defen-
sively and with the pitching
staff if the Sox are going to
climb in the American League
Central standings.
Offensively, the Sox are work-
ing on chasing fewer pitches.
The team’s O-swing% (swings
at pitches outside the zone),
according to FanGraphs, is
36.7%, the worst in the majors.
“We’ve got to get better,”
Grifol said.
“And it’s not just to win
games, it’s to maximize their
ability. We have a lot of talent
on the offensive side of the ball
and if we swing at good pitches,
we’re going to do some damage.
So we have to get better at not
chasing.
“We’re constantly searching
for that. They’re searching for
it; we are too. We’re searching
for it together.”
Grifol likes how the pitch-
ing has progressed, “however,
there’s times we’ve got to get
better when we’re way ahead
in the count. 0-2, 1-2, you almost
can’t allow slugging in those
counts. You fight to get to 0–2,
1-2, you’ve got to put guys away.
But we’re better at it. The pitch-
ing has improved big time.”
The team had a 5.88 ERA
through 28 games and a 3.80
ERA in the next 33 games.
Defensively, Grifol wants
to see the Sox improve at
“preventing free bases at 90
feet. Stolen base, we’ve got to
get better at holding, eliminat-
ing attempts.”
The league average for
caught stealing is 21%, while
the Sox are at 17%.
All of those — and more — are
areas the Sox are focused on.
Despite the early stumbles, the
Sox (27-35) are 4½ games out
of first place in the AL Central.
While the aim is the division,
the focus is on the day to day.
But Grifol did note that the new
schedule has created an inter-
esting wrinkle.
“There’s no sample on this
new schedule, like how does
this thing work,” Grifol said.
“Everybody is playing every-
body. So as far as who’s in, who’s
out, I think we’re going to see
some things a little different
than we have in the past. How
different I don’t know.
“But the new schedule is
going to play a new factor some-
where. Because everybody is
playing everybody. You can’t
say these guys have a tough
schedule or a tough month.
Everybody is going to have that
month. That’s another reason I
don’t get too far ahead on this
stuff.”

Cleveland Indians played 16 innings

Golden Knights’ power play heats up
Bruce Cassidy acknowledged between
Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup
Final that his Golden Knights’ power
play has been hit or miss all season.
It’s hitting now like players in a high-
stakes game of blackjack — and has the
Knights two wins from the Stanley Cup.
They got two more power-play goals
Monday in their 7-2 rout of the Panthers in Game 2, with
Jonathan Marchessault, above, cashing in for his team-
record 11th goal of the playoffs and Brett Howden adding
another in the final minutes. Marchessault also scored
on the power play in the series-opening win Saturday.
“Marchy’s pretty hot,” said Jack Eichel, who assisted on
Marchessault’s power-play goal. “We’re just trying to
communicate and move the puck. When things break
down, try to make plays and support each other.” Dating to
the Western Conference finals-clinching win against the
Stars, the Knights have scored on the power play in three
consecutive games for the first time since late December.
The unit is 4 for 11 (36.4%) in the final versus the Panthers.
“It’s picking a good time to get going,” Cassidy said.
Bills’ Hamlin takes another big step
What was once routine for Damar
Hamlin, such as pulling on a helmet
and heading out to practice, has become
something the Bills safety celebrated
with a phone call to his parents. That
was the case last week, GM Brandon
Beane said Tuesday, after Hamlin
participated fully in practice for the first
time in the six months since having a near-death experi-
ence during a game against the Bengals. “Just so proud of
him,” Beane said. “... He’s still got more milestones to hit.
But to think back, we’re just at the beginning of June, and
that was the beginning of January, and we were just hoping
he’d live. Now he’s not only got a normal life, but we’re
talking about playing ... NFL football.” The Bills practice
on Tuesday was the first in which reporters saw Hamlin
take part in team drills. Hamlin enjoyed his first full session
May 31, in a practice that was closed to reporters, after
which the player called his parents. The 25-year-old went
into cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated on the
field after making what appeared to be a routine tackle
during a game against the Bengals on Jan. 2.
French champ PSG fires manager
Paris Saint-Germain fired manager
Christophe Galtier just days after the
soccer club won its second straight
Ligue 1 title and fifth in six years. In
Galtier’s first season, he led PSG to the
2022-23 league title but failed to deliver
success in the Champions League.
Bayern Munich knocked out PSG in the
last 16. ESPN reported that PSG sporting director Luis
Campos informed Galtier, above, on Tuesday of the firing.
PSG reportedly has had discussions with former Bayern
manager Julian Nagelsmann about the job as well as
former Spain and Barcelona coach Luis Enrique. Nagels-
mann is PSG’s top target, with the German coach hoping
French great Thierry Henry will join him as an assistant.
Galtier, 56, joined PSG last summer after leading Nice
to a ninth-place finish. He also coached Lille and Saint-
Etienne. Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos will also
leave the club this summer after their contracts expire.
ESPN reported in May that Neymar also would like to
leave PSG. The club is willing to let him go if they receive
a good offer. —News services

NBA FINALS

In Game 3,
pressure
on Nuggets
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

MIAMI — Erik Spoelstra has preached

about the value of adversity for months,
not shying away from saying that it
helped the Heat get to these NBA Finals.
And now the Nuggets are dealing with
a little taste of it as well.
Game 3 of the NBA Finals is Wednes-
day night in Miami, the series between
the eighth-seeded Heat and top-seeded
Nuggets knotted at a game apiece. It got
that way after the Heat rallied to win
Game 2 in Denver 111-108 on Sunday
night, an outcome that prompted
Nuggets coach Michael Malone to openly
share frustrations — primarily over a lack
of discipline on a lot of possessions.
“We had a really good film session this
morning,” Malone said Tuesday. “I gave
an opportunity for everybody on our team
to speak and talk about what they saw on
the film. It was a very honest conversa-
tion. Guys owned what they needed to
own. We have to learn from Game 2 to
use it to our advantage.”
In other words, the Nuggets need to do
what the Heat did coming out of Game 1.
The Heat faced significant deficits
in both games in Denver — 24 points in
Game 1 and 15 points in Game 2. And
while there was a comeback try in the
opener, getting within nine late, the Heat
managed to erase the whole deficit and
then some in Game 2.
“You’re in the finals,” said Spoelstra,
seeking his third championship as coach
of the Heat. “You’re going to be dealing
with great players, great teams. You have
to find a way to overcome it and make
it difficult and do a lot of things that are
tough.”
Wednesday’s winner obviously gets
the upper hand with a 2-1 series lead,
Phil Mickelson and the rest of LIV Golf will soon be back playing alongside PGA and European tour players. SUHAIMI ABDULLAH/GETTY and history will tip in that team’s favor as
well. When a finals is tied 1-1, the Game 3
winner has gone on to eventually claim
COMMENTARY the title 80% of the time (32 times in 40
past instances). And 2-1 series leaders,

Merger a shocking sellout

After all the talk, PGA Tour
to tee it up with the Saudis
By Steve Politi
NJ.com
Well, say this for Phil Mickelson: He was
right.
Mickelson said that joining LIV Golf was
a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” and not
only did he cash a reported $200 million
check, the shocking news Tuesday means
he will end up right back playing on the
newly merged LIV-PGA Tour.
The six-time major champ is also the
one who called the Saudi financial backers
of this new tour “scary (expletive) to get
involved with,” but how awful can they be
if everybody is getting paid by them now,
right?
(Spoiler alert: Still plenty awful!)
And say this for Rory McIlroy: He was
right, too. Right, and wronged. He took a
principled stance against the players who
were fleeing to LIV, and the PGA Tour was
all too happy to send him out there like
of those caged-up carts that retrieve balls
on the driving range. McIlroy stood up
for things like loyalty and, you know, not
sportswashing for a murderous regime.
Where did that get him? Next to a smil-
ing Mickelson on a tee box, soon, on the
TBD-named tour.
And you thought “Succession” had a
sour ending.
The PGA Tour’s decision to merge with
LIV Golf is the kind of stunning develop-
ment that will take weeks, if not months, to
fully sort out.
The ramifications are huge for golf, of
course, as LIV — with the Beastie Boys
blaring on the tee boxes, no-cut 54-hole
events and dopey team names — blends
with the traditional sport of Jack and Arnie
and we are left with, well, no one knows
exactly what.
But this is bigger than golf. The Saudi
Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund already was
busy collecting generational soccer players
for its national league. If it can, essentially,
buy an entire sport, who knows how its
billions will end up changing the landscape
of the leagues we follow and the games we
love.
This is uncharted territory. This, in a
word, sucks.
The PGA Tour sold its soul in sicken-
ing fashion this week. Just 10 months ago,
commissioner Jay Monahan told his play-
ers that the LIV defectors were “trying to
use lawyers to force their way into compe-
tition alongside our members in good
standing.”
Now, Monahan is welcoming them back,
leaving the loyal players who turned down
their eight-figure overtures looking like
saps.
Just last spring, Monahan sitting next
to CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz saying his
“heart goes out to” the families who lost
loved ones on 9-11 — including many who
believe Saudi money was responsible for
those attacks.
“I would ask any player that has left or
any player that will ever consider leaving,
have you ever had to apologize for being a
member of the PGA Tour?”
They will now. Terry Strada, chair-
woman for 9/11 Families United, ripped
Monahan and the PGA Tour on Tuesday
afternoon “as it appears their concern for
our loved ones was merely window-dress-
ing in their quest for money.”
For all the players who said they would
not sell out for the brutal Saudi Arabian
regime, well, Monahan just did it for
them.
This, clearly, is a man without a gag
reflex.
“So weird,” tweeted Chris Murphy,
U.S. senator from Connecticut. “PGA
officials were in my office just months
ago talking about how the Saudis’ human
rights record should disqualify them from
having a stake in a major American sport.
I guess maybe their concerns weren’t
really about human rights?”
Guess not!
If you are looking for silver linings, at
least the best players on the planet will be
together on the same golf courses each
week. But, on a competitive level, it was
always clear that the PGA Tour was going
to win out. For every Brooks Koepka
that signed with LIV, there were eight
Wayne Ormsbys or Jediah Morgans. The
sparse crowds in Bedminster last summer,
with many of those fans only coming to
ogle Donald Trump and his pals, were
evidence that the LIV was hardly catching
fire. TV ratings were practically micro-
scopic.
So why did Monahan blink now? The
answer likely lies in whatever his PGA
Tour didn’t want to surface during discov-
ery. The commissioner makes the lawsuits
go away, and for all intents and purposes,
he makes LIV disappear along with them.
He’ll try to pass that off as “an awesome
day” — which, not coincidentally, is how
Mickelson described it on Twitter.
The rest of us will have to decide if we
still want to watch a sport that is now
essentially owned by the same murderous
regime that killed Washington Post jour-
nalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The rest of us will wonder, if the Saudis
can open their massive wallet and buy the
PGA Tour, what they might throw their
billions at next.
Golf will never be the same. Will sports?
regardless of whether they won Game 3
or not, have taken the title 79% of the time
(49 times in 62 past instances).
The Heat are in the finals for the
second time in four seasons, but are play-
ing their first finals game actually at home
since 2014 — the 2020 appearance was in
the bubble, with no fans in the buildings
for most of that experience and only a few
family members for the finals.
“No matter what, they are going to
be behind you,” Heat guard Kyle Lowry
said. “They are going to give you energy.
You know, if the other team is on the run,
they are going to give you a little boost. If
you’re on a run, there’s going to be a crazy
boost. The overall energy for your team
and your group, it will give you a little bit
of a lift — but it won’t win you the game,
because you’ve still got to go out there and
hoop.”
Hooping at the end of games hasn’t
been an issue for the Heat in this series.
They are outscoring the Nuggets 66-45
in fourth quarters in this series, shoot-
ing 64% to the Nuggets’ 44% in the final
period and holding a 33-9 edge in points
off 3-pointers.
But the first three quarters, they’ve
trended big-time toward the Nuggets.
They have outscored the Heat 167-138
in those periods, outshooting the Heat
53% to 39%. The Heat have outscored
the Nuggets 57-48 on 3s in those quar-
ters, but that’s nothing like the unman-
ageable margin the Nuggets have dealt
with in final quarters.
There wasn’t a lot of worry coming
from either side Tuesday, when the
teams had to go through the obligatory
public workouts as part of the NBA media
off-day slate. The Nuggets were loose,
smiling a lot. The Heat were doing much
of the same.
Moods will change by the end of
Wednesday night. One of the teams —
either the big pre-finals favorite Nuggets,
or the eighth-seeded, nothing-to-lose
Heat — is going to be two wins away from
a title.

Chicago’s favorite barbecue sauce
titan makes it into Hall of Fame
By Nick Kindelsperger
Chicago Tribune
Another Illinois barbecue
legend has been inducted into
the American Royal Association’s
Barbecue Hall of Fame.
While Dave Raymond might
not be immediately recognizable
to most people, you’ll likely know
his nickname: Sweet Baby Ray.
The sauce company he helped
found in 1986 is one of the most
popular in the country, with an
estimated 84 million Americans
slathering it on dishes in 2020,
ranking behind only A.1. Sauce.

The association applauded
Raymond for crafting a great
product with a catchy name,
noting that what he might have
lacked in classic chef training, he
“made up for in sweat, hard work,
(and) trial and error.”
Raymond said he picked up the
nickname while playing basket-
ball on Chicago’s West Side. “My
brother was bigger than me and
everyone called him Ray, so I was
Baby Ray,” Raymond said. “I had
a good jump shot, and some-
one said, ‘Hey, that’s sweet, Baby
Ray.’ ”
Raymond started out in the

This summer, the 30th
annual African/Caribbean

CHIVE PESTO
POTATO SALAD
This vibrant homemade pesto is
made with fresh chives and parsley in
place of basil. It’s a bright sauce with
savory onion notes, making it a great
dressing for mild, creamy potatoes.
Green beans or asparagus are added
to the potatoes during the last
few minutes of cooking for an easy
one-pot approach. Once drained, the
potatoes and veggies are returned to
the hot pot to dry out in the residual
heat, which means your potato
salad won’t end up watery. Toss
the potatoes with the pesto while
warm so they readily absorb all of the
flavors. Make this highly adaptable
recipe with any vegetable on hand;
peas, corn and broccoli florets are all
great alternatives.
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Total time: 45 minutes
2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ounces green beans or asparagus,
cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 cup packed parsley leaves
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped chives
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. In a large pot, combine potatoes
with enough salted water to cover
by 2 inches; bring to a boil over high.
Reduce heat to a brisk simmer and
cook until potatoes are completely
tender in the center, 8 to 12 minutes,
adding green beans or asparagus
during the last 1 to 2 minutes of
cooking. Drain, then return mixture
to the hot pot and let rest until very
dry, about 2 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a food processor,
pulse pine nuts and garlic until
finely chopped. Add the parsley
and pulse, scraping down the
sides and bottom of the bowl, until
well combined. With the machine
running, drizzle in oil and purée
until smooth. Transfer the pesto to
a large bowl. Season with salt and
pepper, and add the cheese, chives
and lemon juice; mix well.
3. Add warm potato mixture to
the pesto and season with salt
and pepper. Mix well. The salad
can be made 3 hours ahead and
kept refrigerated. Bring to room
temperature and toss well before
serving.
SESAME TOMATO SALAD
This simple yet stunning salad
celebrates the beauty of summer
tomatoes and highlights their
sweetness with a rich, tangy sesame
vinaigrette. A mild, buttery California-
style olive oil will meld well with soy
sauce and sesame oil, so avoid using
a spicier olive oil that may be bitter.
The dressing and tomatoes can both
be prepared separately a few hours
ahead and kept refrigerated. The
tomatoes will release juices as they
sit, which can dilute the dressing, so
serve the salad with extra dressing
on the side for a fresh hit of umami.
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Total time: 20 minutes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy
sauce
2 tablespoons distilled white
vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon granulated sugar, plus
more to taste
3 pounds mixed tomatoes, large
tomatoes chopped or sliced and
small tomatoes halved
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup chopped basil
1. In a medium bowl, combine olive
oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil,
garlic and sugar; whisk to combine.
2. Arrange the tomatoes on a
serving platter and season with salt
and pepper. Drizzle with half of the
dressing and top with basil. Serve
the remaining dressing on the side.

SAVORY FRUIT SALAD
This colorful, sweet-tart fruit salad has a savory
twist, making it a vibrant side dish, a refreshing
dessert or both. Fresh fennel gives the salad an
unexpected, subtle anise fragrance and adds
crisp texture to counter the soft, juicy fruit. A
few berries mashed with golden honey and fresh
orange juice provide moisture — and a deeper
layer of natural sweetness. A final addition of
fresh mint, lime juice and salt perks up the fruit
and brightens the salad.
ROASTED ZUCCHINI PASTA SALAD
This pasta salad is loaded with 2 pounds of
zucchini, roasted until golden and caramelized,
then tossed in a tangy garlic-tahini dressing.
Roasted sunflower seeds bring crunch and
nuttiness. (Pepitas, slivered almonds or chopped
walnuts are other great options.) Golden raisins
add unexpected pops of sweetness that round
out the tart lemon. The zucchini can be roasted a
few hours ahead or even the night before. Make
the pasta salad a few hours ahead and keep
refrigerated; bring to room temperature and give
it a final toss before serving.
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Total time: 50 minutes
2 pounds zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1/4-inch thick (8 cups)
1 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound short pasta, such as medium shells or
fusilli
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed
sheet pan, combine zucchini, scallions and
3 table-spoons of oil; season with salt and
pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in an even
layer. (It’s OK for the slices to overlap.) Roast
until tender, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 minutes.

SWEET CORN SALAD
WITH BUTTERMILK
VINAIGRETTE
Fresh corn on the cob is given a quick
blanch for this salad, an easy yet
valuable technique that takes away
the starchy flavor and brings out the
natural sweetness in the kernels.
A cool, light buttermilk dressing is
spiked with sour cream, garlic and
black pepper for creamed-corn
vibes without the heaviness. Crisp
cucumbers add crunch and pair
beautifully with the herbaceous
dill; feel free to use any soft herb,
like chives, parsley, tarragon or basil.
Make the salad a few hours ahead to
allow all of the flavors to meld.
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Total time: 30 minutes
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 ears fresh corn, shucked
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 small cucumbers (such as Kirby or
Persian), quartered lengthwise and
thinly sliced (2 cups)
1. Set up a large bowl of ice water.
In a pot of salted boiling water,
blanch the corn until the raw flavor
is gone and corn is bright yellow, 2
minutes. Drain and transfer corn
to the ice water and let cool. Drain
well, then cut kernels off the cobs.
(You should have about 8 cups of
kernels.) Discard cobs.
2. In a large bowl, combine
buttermilk, oil, sour cream, dill,
shallot and garlic. Season with salt
and pepper; whisk until smooth.
3. Add corn and cucumbers to
the dressing. Season with salt and
pepper; toss to evenly coat. The
salad can be made a few hours
ahead and kept refrigerated. Bring
to room temperature and toss well
before serving.
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the berries
(preferably strawberries or raspberries, or both)
and crush them with the tines of a fork until
mashed and saucy. Stir in honey and orange
juice. Add the remaining fruit and toss to evenly
coat. Cover and macerate in the refrigerator,
stirring occasionally, for 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
2. When ready to serve, add fennel, mint, lime
juice and salt to the fruit bowl and gently fold to
combine. Serve immediately.

Mini Reviews
from Page 1
Goat Diner could be an extension
of the multimillion-dollar houses
around the block.
Yet each restaurant is better
than it needs to be, albeit with
varying degrees of success.
They’ve done stunning
work with the space inside and
out, down to three distinctly
designed outdoor sidewalk patios
protected with umbrellas. It’s a
bit bittersweet that no sense of
the old bowling alley remains.
It was a brothel even further
back, and I wish we could honor
the people who were sex work-
ers with more than a titillating
mention.
The following mini reviews
are listed in alphabetical order.
They’re not starred, because
while I did visit the restaurants
more than once, typically we fully
dine twice before rating.
GG’s Chicken Shop
Chef Lee Wolen, best known
for Boka in Lincoln Park, named
GG’s Chicken Shop for his
mother, Geri Simon, and it’s even
better than expected for a Miche-
lin-starred son’s tribute to his
mom.
The crispy fried chicken sand-
wich has become a fan favorite
for good reason at the count-
er-service lunch and dinner
shop. If you’re thinking, “Not
another fried chicken sandwich
(with breast meat at that!),” hear
me out. Or at least try to, if the
crackling crust isn’t too loud,
giving in to juicy flesh, touched
with spicy mayo and hot honey,
shrouded by a cool cabbage slaw,
on a bed of housemade bread
and butter pickles, all held on a
toasted brioche bun. It’s a Miche-
lin-starred chef’s take on peak
Popeyes mania.
But GG’s was always meant to
be a rotisserie chicken restaurant.
Get the whole chicken meal to
best appreciate the impeccably
roasted skin, especially across the
back hiding the prized nuggets
known as chicken oysters. The
sauces are stunning as well —
barbecue, chimichurri, garlic
ranch and honey mustard — each
made with the care of an Escoffier
saucier.
Then there are the sides, quite
frankly my favorite part of just
about any meal. Here, almost
every one is outstanding. GG’s
mac and cheese holds an incred-
ibly intense concentration of
golden sauce. Crispy Brussels
sprouts are beautifully seasoned
with chile and lime. Sweet corn
elote captures summer with
cotija and chipotle. Even a broc-
coli slaw with almonds, raisins
and lemon poppy seed dressing
transcends what could be a fancy
deli salad with too many ingre-
dients by striking a refreshing
balance.

but in 1985, Raymond’s team
came in second place.
Excited by the response, he
created the Sweet Baby Ray’s
company with his brother and
Mike O’Brien. But Raymond
didn’t just bottle the sauce and
hope for the best. Instead, he
aggressively marketed it by
pounding the pavement.
“I started on North Avenue
and went from Austin into the
city, hitting both sides of the
streets,” Raymond said. “After
that, I went to other streets, and
then went to the suburbs.”
It wasn’t easy. “My opinion is
that it takes 200 times to be told
no until you know how to be told
yes,” he said. “No one was worse
than me at first. I like to think I
got better as time passed.”
Raymond also spent a lot of
time giving out samples, as was
documented in a Tribune arti-
cle from Sept. 2, 1990: “Cook-
ing 20 to 30 pounds of meat at a
six-hour stretch and using up to
two gallons of Sweet Baby Ray’s
barbecue sauce, he can be found
at grocery stores and parking
lots throughout DuPage County,
enticing consumers to try the
sauce ‘that’s boss,’ as the label
so expectations were high. But
they’re just nice mashed potatoes.
A mixed green salad set no such
bar, and sadly none were met
without unsightly wilted leaves,
my pet peeve with greens.
That crispy fried chicken sand-
wich can substitute cauliflower
instead, but don’t do it. They’re
generous florets, but so surpris-
ingly soggy, losing the point of the
lovely crust.
An oatmeal cream pie is an
excellent excuse to eat two chewy
cookies sandwiching a sweet
creamy filling. The chocolate dirt
pudding is seriously delightful,
topped by gummy worms, with
chocolate cookie crumbs over a
deep, dark custard. It’s not just
kid’s stuff.
Nor is the kid’s meal, with big
crispy chicken tenders, cloaked
in the signature fried crust, plus
wonderful waffle fries seasoned
with spice rub. There was no age
limit on the meal (now 10 and
under), so I wished the drink
choices weren’t just apple juice or
chocolate milk — maybe some-
thing a little more grown-up off
the menu to toast the fantastic
GG’s instead.

Itoko
Chef Gene Kato, best known
for Momotaro in the West Loop,
named Itoko for the Japanese
word for cousin, but it feels like a
more distant relation, who lives
across some choppy seas.
The must-order dish at the
dinner-only restaurant might
be the TCD, or tuna chirashi
don, which literally translates to
“scattered tuna bowl.” But there’s
nothing scattered about it. A
precise puck of finely sliced toro,
or belly meat, is crowned with a
heaping scoop of Kaluga caviar
and pickled onion cubes over
perfect sushi rice, with a side of
small nori sheets. After taking a
moment to admire the presenta-
tion, it’s time for TCB (taking care
of business, baby!) and that’s the
making and immediate eating of
exquisite DIY hand rolls.
I had originally meant to
review Itoko alone, but after three
proudly states.”
His work paid off, as Sweet
Baby Ray’s became one of the
country’s most popular bottled
barbecue sauces. He eventually
sold it to Ken’s Foods but still
helps run two catering compa-
nies and the Sweet Baby Ray’s
Barbecue restaurant in subur-
ban Wood Dale with his nephew
Larry “Duce” Raymond. “I try
to stay away because now is his
time,” Raymond said. “One of my
biggest blessings is to have my
nephew as my business partner.”
Raymond hopes to see Chicago
mentioned more for its barbe-
cue. He’s a huge fan of Smoque
BBQ, Honky Tonk Barbeque
and especially Honey 1 BBQ.
“I want people to know what a
high-level Chicago barbecue is
at,” Raymond said. “We have the
old-time barbecue places and the
new chef-driven places. We have
the backyard grillers, who barbe-
cue all winter long.”
Raymond joins a few other
Illinois-based barbecue legends
in the hall of fame, including
James Lemons of Lem’s Bar-B-Q,

cue and Meathead Goldwyn, the

attempts to order the 10-day
dry-aged bluefin tuna, subject to
availability, it just wasn’t available.
But before the aforementioned
DIY hand rolls, I went to wash
my hands and realized all three
restaurants were connected by a
back hallway, a hint to the build-
ing’s past as a real speak-easy. It
would’ve been an oversight to not
consider the trio together.
Back at Itoko, the haru yuzu
nonalcoholic cocktail began the
evening with promise. Haru
means spring, and it thoughtfully
reflected the season’s greenness
with a perilla leaf set against the
flavors of yuzu, an Asian citrus
fruit.
A pair of hearty robata grill
sliders with beef tsukune, more
flattened and elongated than
meatballs, served on housemade
bao buns, held no aroma of char-
coal or grilling, and could’ve been
steamed alongside the strangely
sticky spongy bread.
The three-piece set of
hand rolls with tuna, scal-
lop and salmon were artisti-
cally composed, with so many
elements that clearly took time,
from puffed soba to avocado
mousse to my ultimate weakness,
crispy salmon skin. But time is the
enemy of hand rolls. When they
hit the table, I could see the nori
had wrinkled, becoming tough
and choking to chew.
The donatsu, or doughnut, is
served in two parts. The warm
pastry ring with chocolate
ganache sits on a plate over a
bowl of matcha semifreddo. They
are delicious separately, but seem
disjointed together, and a heavy
option among just a few desserts,
for a dinner that’s otherwise light.
The junior yakitori don on the
kids menu (no age limit!) has the
better dessert with semifreddo.
But first excuse my squees from
just a memory of the kawaii-cute
Totoro bento box holding grilled
chicken thigh, a soft poached egg,
gai lan and rice. That meal ends
with a matcha taiyaki, the fish-
shaped cake.

Little Goat Diner
Stephanie Izard, best known
for Girl & the Goat in the West
Loop, moved her beloved Little
Goat Diner from its original
corner on the restaurant row
of Randolph Street. (The chef’s
obsession with goats, by the way,
goes back to the Pyrenean cham-
ois, a goat and antelope called
an izard or isard in Catalan and
French, respectively.)
The new diner is truly little,
a fraction of the size of the old
location. And it’s stylishly retro,
inspired not by the ’50s, but the
’70s, as the chef told me when we
spoke about the opening.
But Izard seems to be in her
chile crisp era, sometimes result-
ing in too many flavors that are
somehow not enough.
Don’t get me wrong. I love OG
Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp,
with the vintage photo of founder
Tao Huabi watching from the
label. But it’s best when there’s a
neutral flavor played against it. I
can’t tell you how many times I’ve
wolfed down nothing but big red
spoonfuls over bowls of hot white
rice.
This Little Piggy, an all-day
fan favorite breakfast sandwich
from the original diner, made the
move to Lakeview, with its Sich-
uan-spiced pork sausage patty, a
sunny-side-up egg, scallion ched-
dar biscuit, blackberries and chile
garlic chive sauce. It’s a sandwich
in name, but better as a fork-and-

and chile crunch biscuits, are
solely available between 7 and 10
a.m. at the Grab N’ Goat walk-up
window.
My plan was to get some sand-
wiches from the window, then sit
down for service too.
I got there with 15 minutes to
spare, but stood outside ignored
by the busy staff inside. Was the
window working? The chef had
said they were waiting on a part.
But signs on the sidewalk said it
was open?
After too many awkward ques-
tions with myself, I just asked for
a table from the friendly host, and
was rewarded with terrific hospi-
tality from a super server.
But in that time, we learned
the lesson that it was too late
for some of the breakfast sand-
wiches, which surprised my
server as well, since he usually
works dinner.
The Little Goat latte consoled
any loss with soothing warm
spices and judicious sweetness.
The new cinna-monkey bread
was all about the icing, accord-
ing to the chef. But the pull-apart
cinnamon biscuit bites are kind
of a simple genius, negating the
need for utensils.
The Ribeye Sammie, with
havarti cheese, mashed avocado,
caramelized onion and caper
herb dressing on ciabatta bread
was generous, but just had too
many big flavors jammed into one
sandwich.
Broccoli with Sichuan every-
thing crunch, which my server
said was one of his favorite dishes,
was overwhelmed and again
obsessed with chile crisp flavor.
Delightfully oversize banana
and blueberry muffins, the
kind where the tops wear a
skirt begging to be bitten into,
should have us sending one clear
message: Bring back Sugargoat
bakery, please! A peanut butter
cookie holds a hint of bold, almost
burned flavor that’s nostalgic and
elusive, which I love. Izard’s own
favorite cookie, the spiced pecan
brown butter, crumbles in bites of
brave and balanced flavors.
The Sugargoat fry pie, formerly
known as the chocolate French
fry pie, was inspired by what’s
become the classic flavor combo
of dipping Wendy’s fries into a
Frosty, of which I am not a fan.
This pie though, takes crunchy
chocolate-covered potato
matchsticks, over a silky malted
chocolate filling, in a French fry
crumble crust far beyond its fast-
food origin story.
And in a slice, it shows just so
many flavors can be enough.

Instant caramelized shallot-cheese fondue from the new cookbook “Cook It Wild.” MAYA VISNYEI/CLARKSON POTTER

f your idea of a meal while camp-
ing is something quick and bland —
maybe a power bar, a can of beans or
some instant noodles — food writer
and critic Chris Nuttall-Smith suggests
something else, just as quick but also tasty.
An avid backpacker, hunter, skier and
wilderness paddler, Nuttall-Smith has
devised ways to bring a gourmet experi-
ence to the outdoors. With minimal fuss
around a fire, he prepares spice-kissed
lamb kebabs, restaurant-quality risotto,
fire-baked pecan sticky buns and more.
He’s put it all in “Cook It Wild: Sensa-
tional Prep-Ahead Meals for Camping,
Cabins, and the Great Outdoors,” from
Clarkson Potter, an imprint of the Crown
Publishing Group. There are 75 recipes
for lunches, dinners, desserts, snacks and,
necessarily, cocktails, published just as the
summer outdoor season arrives.

INSTANT CARAMELIZED
SHALLOT-CHEESE FONDUE
This one-pot is drop-dead easy and crazy
delicious, and it will make you a bona fide
backcountry star.
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredient weight: 2 ½ pounds
Can be cooked over a fire or backpacking
stove; good for all campers
Keeps: 3 days unrefrigerated or up to 1 week
kept cold
At home:
1 tablespoon salted butter
3 small shallots, thinly sliced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
12 ounces Gruyère cheese, rind removed
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Scant 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
At camp:
1 cup dry white wine (thawed)
Prepared cheese and shallots (thawed)
1 crusty baguette
A few hardy, crunchy dippables, such as
endive leaves or apple slices
Directions:
1. Caramelize the shallots (at home).
In a small skillet over low heat, melt the
butter. Add the shallots and salt, and let
them caramelize slowly and gently, stirring
occasionally, until they’re tender, sweet-
tasting and an appealing hazelnut brown,
15 to 25 minutes. Let the shallots cool, then
wrap tightly in a small piece of parchment
paper or wax paper.
2. Prep the cheese (at home). Meanwhile,
over a small bowl, grate the Gruyère on
the coarse side of a box grater. Add the
cornstarch and nutmeg, and toss to combine
thoroughly. Pack the cheese mixture into
a resealable bag or airtight container, stick
the packet of caramelized shallots inside the
bag (on top of the cheese), seal the bag and
refrigerate or freeze. (The cheese mix and
shallots will keep for 1 month, frozen.)
3. Melt, burble and serve (at camp). In a
small saucepan over medium heat, bring the
wine to a simmer. Add the cheese mixture
and shallots. Decrease the heat to low and
stir to melt the cheese. Once the cheese has
melted and the fondue is bubbling gently,
decrease the heat to its lowest setting. Your
goal is warm, very gently bubbling cheese. If
your stove’s lowest setting has the cheese
bubbling furiously, feel free to shuttle the
pan on and off the burner. Serve fondue with
sliced or torn bread and crunchy dippables,
as well as forks if there are known double-
dippers in your midst.
— Recipe from “Cook It Wild”
paella takes the dish back to its roots —
field workers in Spain used to cook it on
shovels.
Nuttall-Smith approached the book
hoping to interest campers at every level.
“Can I have a book that is going to be inspir-
ing and delicious for backpackers, and as
inspiring and delicious for paddlers and for
RVers and for backcountry skiers and beach
rats?” he said. “There’s very few that try to
reach out to a whole cross-section.”
The layout is very clear, with each recipe
divided into “at home” and “at camp”
sections, how many people each dish
serves, the weight, how long it will keep,
and symbols for his recommendations, like
dishes best for paddlers or ones needing a
camping stove.
“At some point, you just realize how
rewarding it is, how special it is, to eat
something really good when you’re in one
of the most beautiful places you’ve ever
been to. It just caps the experience,” he said.
Nuttall-Smith even designed the book
so that each recipe could be photographed.
He has no desire for readers to add the
weight of his book to their packs.
“Who the hell wants to go camping with
a cookbook?” he asked, laughing. “Even if
you’re car camping. Like, when I’ve been
car camping, my car’s just loaded to the
gunwales. I don’t want a cookbook.”

Here, help comes to you
Rural community paramedics don’t wait for an emergency to provide folks with home visits
Story and photos
by Arielle Zionts
KFF Health News
S
andra Lane said
she has been to the
emergency room
about eight times
this year. The 62-year-
old has had multiple falls,
struggled with balance and
tremors, and experienced
severe swelling in her legs.
A paramedic recently
arrived at her doorstep
again, but this time it
wasn’t for an emergency.
Jason Frye was there for a
home visit as part of a new
community paramedicine
program.
Frye showed up in an
SUV, not an ambulance. He
carried a medical bag into
Lane’s mobile home, which
is on the eastern edge of
the city, across from open
fields and train tracks that
snake between the region’s
open-pit coal mines. Lane
sat in an armchair as Frye
took her blood pres-
sure, measured her pulse
and hooked her up to a
heart-monitoring machine.
“What matters to you
in terms of health, goals?”
Frye asked.
Lane said she wants to
become healthy enough to
work, garden and ride her
motorcycle again.
Frye, a 44-year-old Navy
veteran and former oilfield
worker, promised to help
Lane sign up for physical
therapy and offered to find
an anti-slip grab bar for her
shower.
Community paramedi-
cine allows paramedics to
use their skills outside of
emergency settings. The
goal is to help patients
access care, maintain or
improve their health, and
reduce costly ambulance
rides and ER visits.
Such programs are
expanding across the coun-
try, including in rural areas,
as health care providers,
insurers and state govern-
ments recognize the poten-
tial benefits to patients,
ambulance services and
hospitals.
Gary Wingrove, a
Florida-based leader in
community paramedi-
​
cine, said the concept took
off in the early 2000s and
now includes hundreds
of sites. A 2017 survey of
129 programs found that
55% operated in “rural” or
“super rural” areas.
Community medicine
can be helpful in rural
areas where people have
less access to health care,
said Wingrove, chair of the
International Roundta-
ble on Community Para-
medicine. “If we can get
a community paramedic
to their house,” he said,
“then we can keep them
connected to primary
health care and all of the
other services that they
need.”
Frye works at Camp-
bell County Health, based
in Gillette, a city of about
33,000 in northeastern
Wyoming. Leaders of the
community paramedicine
program plan to expand it
into two adjacent, largely
rural counties dotted with
ranches and coal mines on
Mpox is down, but US cities could be at risk for summertime outbreaks
By Mike Stobbe
Associated Press
The mpox health emer-
gency has ended, but U.S.
health officials are aiming
to prevent a repeat of last
year’s outbreaks.
Mpox infections
exploded early in the
summer of 2022 in the
wake of Pride gatherings.
More than 30,000 U.S.
cases were reported last
year, most of them spread
during sexual contact
between gay and bisexual
men. About 40 people died.
With Pride events
planned across the country
in the coming weeks, health

the prairie that stretches
from the Black Hills to the
Bighorn Mountains.
Gillette serves as a medi-
cal hub for the region but
has shortages of primary
care doctors, specialists
and mental health services,
according to a community
needs assessment. People
who live outside the city
face additional barriers.
“A lot of them, especially
older people, don’t want to
come into town. And basi-
cally, those tiny commu-
nities don’t usually have
health care,” Lane said. “I
think it’s just kind of a pain
for them to drive all the
way into town, and unless
they have a serious prob-
lem, I think they tend to
just figure, ‘Well, it’ll work
itself out.’ ”
Community paramedi-
cine programs are custom-
ized to the needs and
resources of each commu-
nity. “It’s not just a cookie-
cutter-type operation. It’s
​
like you can really mold it
officials and event organiz-
ers say they are optimistic
that this year infections will
be fewer and less severe. A
bigger supply of vaccine,
more people with immu-
nity and readier access to
a drug to treat mpox are
among the reasons.
But they also worry that
people may think of mpox
as last year’s problem.
“Out of sight, out of
mind,” said Dr. Demetre
Daskalakis, who is advis-
ing the White House on its
mpox response. “But we
are beating the drum.”
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
recently issued an alert to
HEALTH
to wherever you need to
mold it to,” Frye said.
Most community para-
medicine programs rely on
paramedics, but some also
use emergency medicine
technicians, nurses and
social workers, accord-
ing to the 2017 survey.
Programs can offer home
visits, phone check-ins or
transportation to urgent
care clinics and mental
health centers.
Many programs support
people with chronic
illnesses, patients recov-
ering from surgeries, or
frequent users of 911 and
the ER. Other programs
focus on behavioral health,
hospice care or post-over-
dose response.
Community paramedics
can provide in-home vacci-
nations, wound care, ultra-
sounds and blood tests.
They can also offer exercise
and nutrition tips, teach
patients how to moni-
tor symptoms and help

U.S. doctors to watch for
new cases. The agency
published a modeling study
that estimated the likeli-
hood of mpox resurgence in
50 counties that have been
the focus of a government
campaign to control sexu-
ally transmitted diseases.
The study concluded
that 10 of the counties had
a 50% chance or higher
of mpox outbreaks this
year. At the top of the list
are Jacksonville, Florida;
Memphis, Tennessee; and
Cincinnati — cities where
10% or fewer of the people
at highest risk were esti-
mated to have immunity.
Another 25 counties have

affect people’s health. For
example, paramedics might
inspect homes for safety

lonely patients with a

Paramedics and patients
said some rural residents
struggle to access health
care because of long
distances, cost, lack of
transportation or danger-
ous weather. Some hesitate
to seek help out of pride or
because they don’t want to
be a burden to others. Some
limit trips to town during
ranching and farming
crunch times, such as calv-
ing and harvesting seasons.
Delayed care can let
health problems fester until
they become an emergency.
Advocates say providing

and education can help

costs. Fewer emergencies
mean fewer ambulance
runs and hospital patients.
low or medium immunity
levels that put then at a
higher risk for outbreaks.
The study had a range of
limitations, including that
scientists don’t know how
long immunity from vacci-
nation or prior infections
lasts.
So why do the study? To
warn people, said Dr. Chris
Braden, who heads the
CDC’s mpox response.
“This is something that is
important for jurisdictions
to promote prevention of
mpox, and for the popula-
tion to take note — and take
care of themselves. That’s
why we’re doing this,” he
said.
That could help ambu-
lance services and hospitals
reduce costs and the time
patients wait for help.
A 2022 scholarly review
found that data so far
suggests these programs
reduce costs. It also found
links to improved health
outcomes and decreased
use of ambulances and
hospitals.
A pilot program in
Fort Worth, Texas, saw a
61% reduction in ambu-
lance rides, according to
an academic study of 64
patients.
MedStar, the operator,
made the effort permanent
and says its 904 partici-
pants needed 48% fewer
ambulance trips, saving an
estimated $8.5 million over
eight years.
But rural ambulance
services, especially volun-
teer ones, can struggle to
staff and fund community
paramedicine programs.
Kesa Copps, a co-worker
of Frye’s, previously
worked as an emergency
medical technician in
Powder River County,
Montana, which has fewer
than 2,000 residents. Some
residents must drive more
than an hour to reach the
nearest hospital. The area’s
volunteer ambulance
service started a commu-
nity paramedicine program
in 2019.
Copps said the program
reduced hospital readmis-
sions and extended some
elderly patients’ ability to
live at home before being
admitted to a nursing facil-
ity. She visited patients
between ambulance runs.
That’s different from the
Campbell County Health
model, in which commu-
nity paramedicine is a full-
time position, not split with
emergency work.
A syringe is prepared with the mpox vaccine in August at a
clinic in New York City. MARY ALTAFFER/AP
Adam Johnson, direc-
tor of the Powder River
ambulance service, said the
community paramedicine
program shut down in 2021
after everyone with the
necessary training left the
area. Johnson said para-
medics are signing up to
restart the program.
States are increasingly
recognizing and regulat-
ing community paramed-
icine. Some ambulance
services and health care
organizations have piloted
community paramedicine
programs with the help of
state or federal grants. If
they find the service saves
money, they may decide to
continue the program and
fund it themselves.
Community paramed-
icine may soon expand in
neighboring South Dakota,
another largely rural state.
South Dakota ambu-
lance services have exper-
imented with community
paramedicine and lawmak-
ers recently voted to autho-
rize and regulate it.
Eric Emery, the state
representative who intro-
duced the bill, plans to start
a program on the sprawl-
ing, rural Rosebud Indian
Reservation, where he
works as a paramedic.
Back in Gillette, Frye also
checked in on Linda Gwitt,
a 78-year-old facing diabe-
tes, depression and a lack
of social support after her
husband was hospitalized
with dementia.
“I had him to wait on me,
and now I have nobody,”
Gwitt said.
Frye said he would see if
he could help start a senior
walking group that Gwitt
could join. He told her that
socializing can improve
health.
“You’re not alone,” Frye
told Gwitt.

Older folks, beware of COVID-19 test fraud
Scammers using
Medicare numbers
to bill government
By Susan Jaffe
KFF Health News
Medicare coverage for
at-home COVID-19 tests
has ended, but the scams
spawned by the temporary
pandemic benefit could
have lingering conse-
quences for seniors.
Medicare advocates
around the country who
track fraud noticed an
eleventh-hour rise in
complaints from bene-
ficiaries who received
tests — sometimes by the
dozen — that they never
requested. It’s a signal that
someone may have been
using, and could continue
to use, seniors’ Medicare
information to improperly
bill the federal government.
The U.S. Department
of Health and Human
Services’ Office of Inspec-
tor General has received
complaints from around
the country about unso-
licited tests being billed to
Medicare, said a top inves-
tigator.
“Unfortunately, most
of these schemes are the
result of bad actors receiv-
ing stolen Medicare bene-
ficiary information,” said
Scott Lampert, assistant
inspector general for inves-
tigations.
Being targeted once can
mean a person is vulner-
able to future scams. A
stolen Medicare number
can be used repeatedly to
get payment for all kinds
of things or sold to other
fraudsters, said Maroa
Alvarez, who oversees New
York state’s Senior Medi-
care Patrol. The organi-
zation helps identify and
educate beneficiaries about
Medicare fraud throughout
the country.
“If you have someone’s
Medicare number, you can
bill Medicare for proce-
dures, tests, drugs, services
and durable medical equip-
ment,” Alvarez said. “On

PEOPLE’S PHARMACY PRESCRIPTIONS AND HOME REMEDIES
One heartburn medicine may Causes of chronic back pain
have ability to treat shingles
By Joe Graedon, M.S.,
and Teresa Graedon,
Ph.D.
King Features Syndicate
Q: While searching for
treatments for shingles,
I found your website.
One article described
the heartburn medicine
Tagamet as having a posi-
tive impact. You did not
mention anything about
the correct dose. Can you
give any more information
about how much Tagamet
to take for shingles?
A: It will come as a shock
to most health care prac-
titioners to learn that
the heartburn medicine
cimetidine has shown
activity against shingles.
This painful skin condition
is linked to infection with
chickenpox (varicella-
zoster) earlier in life.
​
When the immune
system weakens, the
virus can be reactivated
and cause a rash. Antivi-
ral drugs such as acyclo-
vir (Zovirax), famciclovir
(Famvir) and valacyclovir
(Valtrex) can discourage
viral replication and speed
healing if given as soon as
the rash appears.
A reader of this column
notified us several years
ago that his medical
colleagues in Europe
prescribed cimetidine
off-label to treat shingles
and zoster-associated
pain. Unlike antivirals,
this ulcer drug affects the
immune system (Canadian
Family Physician, Febru-
ary 1994). The authors cite
a study using 400 milli-
grams of cimetidine three
times daily, which is much
higher than the heartburn
dose.
Researchers offering
case reports of success
with cimetidine against
shingles have called for
robust clinical trials. To
date, however, such studies
do not appear to have been
conducted.
than credit card or Social
Security numbers.”
One beneficiary in Indi-
ana suspected something
was amiss after receiving
32 unrequested tests over a
10-day period, said Nancy
Moore, the Senior Medi-
care Patrol program direc-
tor for Indiana. None of the
people who submitted a
complaint recalled giving
out their Medicare number,
she said.
In another variation of
the problem, Medicare
paid for tests for some Ohio
beneficiaries who never
received them, said Lisa
Dalga, project manager for
Ohio’s Senior Medicare
Patrol.
“Information is the
commodity of the 21st
century,” said Moore, who
said she urges beneficiaries
to guard their Medicare
numbers.
It is possible that some
unwanted packages were a
mistake, after pharmacies
or other suppliers turned
a one-time request into a
continuing monthly order,
a switch allowed under the
program’s rules that benefi-
ciaries were responsible for
There are case reports of success with the drug Tagamet
against shingles, but no clinical trials yet. DREAMSTIME
Q: I have begun taking
Wegovy for weight loss.
The only real side effect
is nausea. It can hit me
at any time, and though
unpleasant, it isn’t severe.
I heard that ginger helps
to combat nausea, so I
picked up some ginger
chews at my pharmacy.
This has helped some-
what, but I am concerned
that I cannot find how
much ginger is actually in
each chew. Are there other
options that specify the
quantity of ginger?
A: Ginger cookies or candy
are unlikely to reveal
dosage strength. Ditto
for chews or teas. You
can probably find ginger
capsules in a health food
store. A typical dose of
ginger (Zingiber offici-
nale) for nausea is 1,000
milligrams (Integrative
Medicine Insights, March
31, 2016).
Another option you
might consider is sniff-
ing alcohol wipes. These
are used to clean the skin
before an injection, so you
probably already have
some. A Dutch study found
that nauseated patients
who sniffed isopropyl alco-
hol in the emergency room
were less likely to require
correcting.
Along with those
from New York, Indi-
ana and Ohio, Senior
Medicare Patrol direc-
tors in Tennessee, Texas
and Utah reported a rise
in complaints about the
unwanted tests as the bene-
fit’s cutoff date approached.
Alvarez said that lately
test suppliers had “gotten
more aggressive,” call-
ing and emailing seniors
— something legitimate
Medicare representa-
tives do not do — as well as
running misleading inter-
net ads.
When the COVID-19
public health emergency
ended May 11, Medi-
care stopped paying for
over-the-counter tests,
though it continues to
cover those provided in
a clinic, doctor’s office or
other health care setting
and processed by a labora-
tory. Some private Medi-
care Advantage plans may
continue paying for the
at-home tests.
Medicare spent $900.8
billion providing health
coverage to 64 million
beneficiaries in 2021. But

symptoms include a rapid
rise in blood pressure,
digestive distress, agita-

the program loses as much
as $90 billion a year to
fraudulent claims. Some
of the more well-known
scams have involved medi-
cal equipment like power
wheelchairs.
Sara Lonardo, a spokes-
person for the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, confirmed Medi-
care received complaints
about unwanted tests but
said they came from only “a
small portion” of Medicare
beneficiaries who received
tests.
Last year, President Joe
Biden’s administration
offered all households a
limited number of at-home
tests for free as part of its
effort to combat COVID-19.
A few months later, in
April 2022, CMS decided
to pay for eight tests per
month for those with
Medicare Part B outpatient
coverage, including tens of
millions of seniors, one of
the groups most suscep-
tible to severe illness and
death from the virus. It was
the first time the agency
agreed to cover nonpre-
scription, over-the-counter
products at no cost to bene-
Q&A
Mayo Clinic
Q: It seems like everyone
I know has back pain. My
husband and I both suffer
from back pain but mine is
a dull ache while he seems
to have shooting pain. Why
are our backs so suscep-
tible to pain and how do I
know when we should talk
with our doctor?
A: Back pain is extremely
common. About 80%
of adults in the U.S. will
experience low back pain
at some point. Your back
is made up of 30 bones
stacked in a column
surrounded by muscles
and ligaments. Nearly
every movement you make
involves your back. This
constant movement and
support mean your back is
susceptible to strain.
Not all back pain is the
same, though, and symp-
toms vary widely. Occa-
sionally, a person with
back pain can pinpoint the
time it started, like when
attempting to lift a heavy
object or after a fall. More
commonly, no specific trig-
ger or event led to the pain.
Here are common causes
of back pain:
Muscle or ligament strains:
Muscle or ligament strains
are usually caused by a
single event, such as using
poor body mechanics to
lift a heavy object. Strains
feel like a sudden stab-
bing, localized pain. This
pain worsens when you
contract the muscle or
twist. Redness, swelling
and bruising can occur.
The pain can be intense.
Occasionally, people state
that they have “thrown
out” their backs. In most
cases, they have a muscle
or ligament strain.
Osteoarthritis: Low back
pain often is caused by
osteoarthritis, the most
common type of arthri-
tis. Arthritis can lead to
a narrowing of the space
around the spinal cord or
nerve roots, a condition
called spinal stenosis. It

ficiaries.
In a recent statement,
federal law enforcement
officials said “wrongdoers
allegedly sought to exploit
the program by repeatedly
supplying patients or, in
some instances, deceased
patients, with dozens of
COVID-19 tests that they
did not want or need.”
So far, the Justice
Department has confirmed
only one case involving the
testing scam. A doctor in
Florida and a test supplier
in Georgia face charges
after they were accused
of illegally paying an
unnamed Virginia market-
ing company approxi-
mately $85,000 to obtain
beneficiary numbers “for
thousands of Medicare
beneficiaries through-
out the United States,”
according to an indictment
filed by the department in
April and obtained by KFF
Health News.
The indictment said the
pair submitted more than
$8.4 million in fraudulent
claims for COVID-19 tests
“regardless of whether the
Medicare beneficiaries had
requested or needed the
DREAMSTIME
occurs most often in the
low back and neck. When
this occurs in the low back,
common symptoms are
pain in both legs, tingling,
numbness and sometimes
muscle weakness.
Bulging disk: Disks act
as cushions between the
bones, or vertebrae, in your
spine. The material inside
a disk can bulge and press
on a nerve. This is called a
bulging disk. Pain from a
bulging disk usually occurs
in the low back and radi-
ates into the hips, buttocks
or legs. It often feels better
when resting.
Herniated disk: A herni-
ated disk results when
a tear in the tough outer
layer of a disk allows
inner disk material to
protrude. Herniated disks
also are called ruptured
disks or slipped disks.
Compared with a bulg-
ing disk, a herniated disk
is more likely to cause
pain because it protrudes
farther and can irritate
nerve roots. Depending on
where the herniated disk
is, it can cause pain, numb-
ness or weakness in one or
both legs.
Sciatica: Sciatica is named
after the sciatic nerve,
the largest nerve in your
body. It most commonly
occurs when a herniated
disk, bone spur or spinal
stenosis compresses part
of the nerve. Sciatica is a
sharp, shooting pain that
runs from your low back
down the side or back of
your leg. Typically, sciatica
affects only one side of
tests.”
The details of several
Medicare summary notices
— quarterly statements
of services beneficiaries
received — obtained by
KFF Health News show
Medicare paid suppli-
ers $94.08 for at-home
COVID-19 testing using a
billing code for “a single
test.” Most retail pharma-
cies sell a two-pack of tests
for about $24.
Lonardo said Medicare
paid up to $12 for one test
and that the number of
covered tests was limited to
reduce “the risk of abusive
billing.” She declined to
explain why the Medicare
summary notices indicated
a payment of $94.08.
Beneficiaries may be the
best fraud detectives for
preventing medical iden-
tity theft. Senior Medicare
Patrol programs encourage
them to look for any items
on their benefits state-
ments — like back braces
and lab tests — that Medi-
care paid for but that they
never received.
If Medicare has paid for
an item once, beneficiaries
may not be able to get it
when they really need it —
regardless of whether they
actually received it.
Diane Borton, a 72-year-
old from New Smyrna
Beach, Florida, has thrown
out some of the expired
tests she received but never
asked for, yet she still has
25 tests. She said she called
the 1-800-MEDICARE
helpline twice about the
unwanted packages but
was told nothing could be
done to stop them.
Borton didn’t pay for
her supply, but that’s not
why she’s concerned. “I
don’t want my government
paying for something that
I’m not going to use and I
didn’t ask for,” she said. “I
feel like it is such a waste of
money.”

your body.
Degenerative disk disease:
As you age, the disks
between your vertebrae
shrink and lose pliability.
This narrows the space
between the vertebrae and
can make your spine less
flexible. Degenerative disk
disease does not always
cause symptoms. If it does,
symptoms vary. Generally,
pain comes and goes over
a long time. It may feel
better when you change
positions or walk, and
worsen when you sit.
Most low back pain goes
away on its own in six to
eight weeks with self-care,
such as resting from heavy
lifting, applying heat or ice,
using over-the-counter
pain medications and
stretching. Talk with your
health care professional
if you have a history of
cancer, or if your pain:
„ Is constant or intense,
especially at night or when
you lie down.
„ Occurs with a fever,
swelling or redness on
your back.
„ Occurs with unintended
weight loss.
„ Occurs with new
bowel or bladder control
problems.
