unchecked power to set rules
for federal elections and to draw

excitement and optimism
with cautions that the team
needed to know it had a
“legitimate partner” in local
governments.
He was referring to the
team’s deadlock with a trio of
local school districts whose
finances stand to be impacted
by potential property tax
changes at the racecourse.
While Warren and other
Bears officials have said the
team will pay its fair share in
property taxes, and Warren
repeated that point Monday,
they’ve also made clear that
they’re only willing to pay so
much, especially before the
property is operational.
The team proposed paying
$4.3 million in property taxes
for the land, which Warren
said was $1.5 million higher
than what former owner
Churchill Downs paid for
the same land. The school
districts have proposed the
team pay about $8 million in
property taxes.
Warren called on local
school districts to return to
the negotiating table and
said he was hopeful about
the future of those talks.
However, he said, “If we’re
not communicating, which
we haven’t been, there’s not
going to be much progress
made.”
Over the last month the
Bears have met with officials
in Naperville, while leaders
in Rockford and Wauke-
gan have also thrown those
towns in the ring as potential
destinations for the team.
Team executives have
also met with new Chicago
Mayor Brandon Johnson.
At the time Johnson said
he and Bears brass had
discussed their “shared
commitment to Chicago,”
adding “we want to make
sure we can keep shuffling
here in the city of Chicago
with the Bears.”
Warren said he had gotten
a phone call from another
potential host municipality
on his way to the event, but
a Bears representative Tues-
day declined to name the
most recent suitor.
Asked what kind of
contribution an average
Arlington Heights resident
could expect to make in
taxes, Warren said “those
are questions I would ask
their local political leaders.”
The only formal agree-
ment between the team
and any local government
so far is a predevelopment
agreement with Arling-
ton Heights, approved in
November 2022. That agree-
ment details how they hope
to work together and lays
out a road map, beginning
with two studies analyzing
possible impacts to the local
economy and traffic.
Warren said the team
would move ahead with
those studies once the
organization was certain it
would be moving to Arling-
ton Heights.
Michael Mach and Lynne
Park, of Schaumburg, said
they attended the meeting
to see what local business
leaders had to say about the
project.
Mach, 60, said he was a
fan of “whatever is bring-
ing money into the region”
but acknowledged that a
future stadium development
“would change the region
dramatically.”
He said he and Park saw
traffic backup on Illinois
Route 53 on their way to the
meeting and observed that
the infrastructure needed
improvements, regardless
of whether the team devel-
oped the racetrack.
Former Arlington Heights
Trustee John Scaletta, who
retired from the Village
Board in May, said his take-
away from the meeting was
that the Bears were still
“very interested” in Arling-
ton Heights.
He attended hoping to find
out when the impact stud-
ies would be complete, he
said, and left with an answer
of sorts: “They’ll have the
study completed when they
know for sure that Arlington
Heights is going to be their
future home.”
Scaletta said he was left
wanting to know “what
the Bears were really look-
ing for” from local govern-
ment bodies. It also struck
him that the team hadn’t
yet thought in detail about
how a potential develop-
ment would interact with
the village’s existing down-
town, he said.
During the meeting
Warren had said he would
be “ecstatic” about the pros-
pect of the team’s relocation
if he were a local business
owner and mentioned the
idea of spectators being able
to walk to events.
“There is a close prox-
imity between the stadium
and downtown Arlington
Heights, but (it isn’t) walk-
able,” he said.
Tom Woznicki, 65,
attended the meeting as
a supporter of the project
and called the event “a good
start.” He said he’d love to
see it “come to fruition here,
rather than Naperville.”
Woznicki said he didn’t
have positive or negative feel-
ings about the idea of public
money helping to fund the
development. In fact, he said,
he thought the team should
pay less in taxes while it rede-
velops the site.
“If we have to come up
with extra money, so be it,”
Woznicki said. “It’s going
to be better for the whole
economic area.
“Our housing would go up
in value. It would bring more
people into town.”
Arlington Heights offi-
cials have said they won’t
allow the project to move
forward unless the team
can show it will be of a net
economic benefit to the
area.

dropped
Accused mother
and son now file
suit against CPD
By Sam Charles
and Madeline Buckley
Chicago Tribune
A woman captured in a
viral video being punched
in a South Side restaurant
before her attacker was shot
and killed allegedly by her
young son has announced a
lawsuit against the Chicago
Police Department over the
handling of the case.
At a news conference
Tuesday attorneys for Carl-
ishia Hood, 35, said they
filed a lawsuit against the
department in connection
with her arrest, though a
copy of the complaint was
not immediately available.
“What happened to me
was totally unnecessary,”
Hood said Tuesday. “I just
need a little time to heal and
to get my life back with my
baby.”
Hood and her son were
charged with murder in the
June 18 shooting death of
32-year-old Jeremy Brown.
Hood was also charged with
contributing to the delin-
quency of a minor, court
records show.
The Cook County state’s
attorney’s office this week
dropped murder charges
against Hood and the teen
after the video surfaced
showing a man repeatedly
punching the woman in
the moments before he was
shot and killed. The foot-
age has circulated on social
media in recent days.
Prosecutors said Monday
the murder charges against
Hood and her son would be
dismissed “based upon our

light of emerging evidence.”
“Based upon the facts,
evidence and the law we are
unable to meet our burden
of proof in the prosecution
of these cases,” the state’s
attorney’s office said in a
statement.
In an unstamped copy
of the lawsuit filed against
the city of Chicago and five
Chicago police officers,
Hood alleged false arrest
and malicious prosecution
related to the June 18 shoot-
ing. The complaint alleges
that Hood was “brutally

tion” by Brown, who it said
had multiple arrests for
domestic battery against
women and a conviction for
aggravated robbery.
Her son shot Brown in
a “clear and obvious act
of defense of an unarmed
woman,” the complaint said.
It alleged the police officers
“had multiple opportunities
to review the video surveil-
lance and ascertain the lack
of criminality.”
An arrest report filed in
the case stated that Hood
“instructed her juvenile
son” to shoot Brown after
she and Brown got into an
argument at the Maxwell
Street Express in the 11600
block of South Halsted
Street. The report said
Hood turned herself into
police and, upon a search,
police found an unloaded
semi-automatic handgun.
Hood had a valid
concealed carry license and
firearm owner’s identifica-
tion card, the report said.
Though the charges
were dropped, a represen-
tative for the Chicago Police
Department said Tuesday
detectives still consider the
case to be a cleared murder.
Court records show
Brown had a pending gun
case at the time of his death.
On Dec. 31, 2022, Brown
was arrested at a gas station
at 111th and State streets.
His arrest report stated
that officers saw him walk
into the gas station with
a gun-shaped bulge in the
front pocket of his sweater.
O f f i c e r s f o l l owe d
Brown inside but found
no weapon when they
searched him. The station’s
clerk, however, “discreetly
related” to the officers that
Brown dropped a handgun
in a trash can just before the
officers entered. Officers
wrote that they recovered a
9mm semi-automatic hand-
gun in the wastebasket.
Brown was charged with
one count of being a felon in
possession of a firearm and
two counts of aggravated
unlawful use of a weapon,
court records show. That
case was still pending at the
time of his death and a hear-
ing was scheduled for June
21 — three days after Brown
died.

Former lawyer sentenced
to 3-plus years in prison
By Jason Meisner
Chicago Tribune
A former Chicago attor-
ney was sentenced Tues-
day to more than three
years in prison for helping
her brother hide hundreds
of thousands of dollars
in assets in bankruptcy
proceedings tied to the
collapse of a Bridgeport
neighborhood bank.
Jan Kowalski, 59, pleaded
guilty last year to concealing
assets from a bankruptcy
trustee, admitting she falsi-
fied documents and lied
during testimony in bank-
ruptcy proceedings for her
brother Robert, costing
creditors about $357,000.
In sentencing Kowalski
to 37 months behind bars,
U.S. District Judge Virginia
Kendall called her conduct
“extremely serious,” partic-
ularly for an attorney who
had taken an oath to uphold
the law.
“It is the complete antith-
esis of what an attorney is
supposed to be doing,”
Kendall said. “People lose
faith, and it really is the
beginning of the destruc-
tion of our judicial process
and the destruction of our
democracy.”
Kowalski’s attorney,
William Stanton, had asked
for probation, saying she
suffers from a lengthy list
of physical and mental
ailments, is the sole care-
taker for her elderly mother
and has a son who has had
his own difficulties.
Before she was sentenced
Kowalski, who was dressed
in a hooded sweatshirt,
stood at the lectern and
lamented her situation but
did not apologize for her
conduct.
“My mother and father
had three children, and all
three of us are indicted and
going to jail, probably,” she
said. “And now there is no
one to care for my mother.”
Kowalski was among
more than two dozen defen-
dants charged as part of a
multiyear investigation into
the failure of Washington
Federal Bank for Savings, a
family-run institution that
had been a mainstay in the
city’s Bridgeport neigh-
borhood for more than a
century.
The sprawling probe also
ensnared Patrick Daley
Thompson, the then-11th
Ward alderman and scion of
the Daley political dynasty.
He was convicted last year
of two counts of lying to
federal regulators about
loans he had with Wash-
ington Federal and falsely
claiming mortgage inter-
est deductions on his tax
returns.
Thompson, who by law
was forced to step down
immediately after his
conviction, was sentenced
to four months in prison.
Robert Kowalski, who
was a large debtor of the
bank when it was closed
by regulators in December
2017, was convicted at trial
earlier this year of conspir-
ing with the bank’s pres-
ident, John Gembara, to
rack up millions in collat-
eral-free loans, then lying
about and concealing assets
and income in bankruptcy
proceedings and on his tax
returns.
Gembara, meanwhile,
was found dead Dec. 3,
2017, in the Park Ridge
home of a bank customer
where he had been staying.
An autopsy report showed
Gembara was found seated
in a chair in his bedroom
with a rope tied to the banis-
ter and around his neck.
His death was ruled a
suicide by the Cook County
medical examiner’s office.
The Kowalskis’ other
sibling, William Kowalski,
was also charged in the case
but has since entered into a
deferred prosecution agree-
ment that will likely lead to
the charges being dropped
in exchange for his cooper-
ation.
As part of that agreement,
William Kowalski admitted
he and his brother embez-
zled about $190,000 from
Washington Federal to buy
a Sea Ray 420 Sundancer
boat named Expelliarmus,
the famous spell in the
Harry Potter book series,
court records show.
Eight others have pleaded
guilty to roles in the scheme.
Several others are awaiting
trial, including William
Mahon, a then-top official
with the city’s Streets and
Sanitation Department
who is charged with will-
fully filing false tax returns
and failing to disclose a
$130,000 personal loan
he’d received directly from
Gembara.
According to prosecu-
tors, Jan Kowalski helped
her brother conceal more
than 100 cashier’s checks by
putting them in her attor-
ney’s trust account, using
some of the funds to invest
in real estate and eventu-
ally withdrawing the rest
in cash.
When the bankruptcy
trustee unearthed the trans-
actions, Jan Kowalski lied
repeatedly to try to cover
the fraud, first by creating
phony account ledgers and
later by flat-out lying about
where the money came
from while under oath in
bankruptcy proceedings,
according to court records.
Robert Kowalski, 61, who
was jailed after his convic-
tion in March, is still await-
ing sentencing.

Air
from Page 1
right now,” Ford said.
As of 11 a.m. the air-qual-
ity index had risen to a level
considered “very unhealthy,”
according to AirNow, a
website that combines
data from county, state and
federal air-quality agencies
nationwide. This means
everyone is at risk of experi-
encing health effects.
Weather officials also
issued air-quality alerts into
Wednesday for the Great
Lakes region and the Lower
Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
Smelling smoke is an
immediate sign to stay
indoors, said Zac Adelman,
executive director of the
Lake Michigan Air Directors
Consortium.
“It’s very common to see
smoke in the atmosphere
above us,” Adelman said.
“It’s not common to have
high concentrations of
smoke coming down to the
surface like we’re experienc-
ing it now.”
Smoke blows into Chicago
“fairly regularly,” Adelman
said. “There’s somewhere
burning in North America
at all times.”
How more smoke ends up
at the surface level is more of
a question of how it travels.
“We’ll be looking at this
event for a long time to
figure out, you know, what
the particular dynamics and
chemistry were that caused
the smoke to come down to
the surface here,” he said.
Factors like atmospheric
conditions, how large the
fires are and existing air
pollutants in the city make it
difficult to pinpoint exactly
why Chicago has such bad
air quality, despite other
cities experiencing similar
issues, he said.
Particulate matter known
as PM2.5, which can be
emitted by factories, power
plants, diesel and gasoline
vehicles, residential fire-
places and wildfires, was the
main driver behind Tues-
day’s elevated air quality.
As of 7 a.m. on Tuesday
particulate matter levels
were “three, four, times
higher than we typically
observe here,” Adelman said.
These tiny particles of
solids and liquids in the
air are one of the biggest
pollution concerns, said
Brian Urbaszewski, direc-
tor of environmental health
programs for the Respiratory
Health Association.
“It is a function of where
the fires are, where the
weather systems are and
where the winds are blowing
all that smoke in,” Urbasze-
wski said. “We’re in the
crosshairs.”
PM2.5 refers to how large
the particles are in microm-
eters. For comparison, the
average strand of human
hair is about 70 micrometers.
“There are particles that
are small enough to get to
the deepest portions of your
lungs, actually get in your
bloodstream,” Urbaszewski
said. “In addition to all the
problems that ozone causes,
they also trigger things like
heart attacks and strokes.”
According to Scott Baker,
a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service
in Romeoville, as of Tues-
day the weather service has
issued nine air-quality alert
days for the Chicago metro-
politan area in 2023. Seven of
those days have been in the
month of June.
“It seems more frequent
this year than what we’ve
had in recent years,” Baker
said. “Especially for one
month having seven days,
it’s definitely not the norm.”
The most recent air-qual-
ity report from the Illinois
Environmental Protec-
tion Agency showed that
in Chicago there were no
“unhealthy” air days in
2021. In 2020 there were two
“unhealthy” days.
Kim Briggs, spokesper-
son for the Illinois EPA, said
that Tuesday’s air quality
in Chicago was forecast as
“unhealthy,” but there were
a few hours where “very
unhealthy” levels were
recorded.
The Illinois EPA provides
daily air-quality readings
for 14 regions across the
state based on the air-qual-
ity index. It is a color-coded
system with six catego-
ries that classifies air qual-
ity from good to hazardous.
Very unhealthy is one cate-
gory below hazardous.
The index is a combina-
tion of levels of particulate
matter and ground-level
ozone, also known as smog.
Though ozone in the atmo-
sphere is good for filter-
ing out harmful ultraviolet
rays, it’s not great for human

“This pollution in the air

McNamara said.
By late evening she was
refusing to leave her house,
worried about the potential
impacts that breathing the
air would have on her. On the
Southwest Side many older
adults work outside, espe-
cially construction workers
and street vendors, she said.
“They can’t stay home,”
she said.
When Faye Crouteau, of
Uptown, went for a walk by
the lakefront Tuesday morn-
ing she said she noticed the
air smelled like burning
tires. Afterward, she was
sitting outside wearing a
mask because she couldn’t
be inside her condo while it
was being inspected.
She said her wife strug-
gles with asthma and long
COVID-19. When her wife
woke up this morning, the
first thing she said was, “I’m
having a really hard time
today.”
Crouteau said she was
aware of how bad air qual-
ity was in New York City in
early June but wasn’t partic-
ularly concerned about
Chicago.
“We’re usually saved by
the lake,” she said. “But
that’s obviously not the case
today.”
The mayor’s office issued
a statement Tuesday saying
the city has initiated a
comprehensive response,
including outreach to
vulnerable populations, and
special precautions such
as moving Chicago Park
District camps, Chicago
Public Schools and other
activities indoors where
possible.
The city advised people
without access to prop-
erly ventilated and safe
indoor conditions to use
the city’s public libraries,
senior centers, Park District
facilities, and the Cultural
Center or the six commu-
nity centers.
“This summer, cities
across North America have
seen unhealthy levels of air
quality as a result of wild-
fire smoke, impacting over
20 million people from
New York City, Washington
D.C., Montreal, and today
here in Chicago,” the state-
ment said. “As we work to
respond to the immedi-
ate health concerns in our
communities, this concern-
ing episode demonstrates
and underscores the harm-
ful impact that the climate
crisis is having on our resi-
dents, as well as people all
over the world.”
How to stay safe
Experts recommend
that people stay inside and
keep the windows closed.
Running the air conditioner
or using an air filter would
also help. It’s not a good idea
to do any physical activity
because you breathe in more
polluted air when overexert-
ing yourself.
The current air condi-
tions are unhealthy for
everyone, but the risks are
increased for children and
adults with respiratory and
pulmonary conditions, offi-
cials said. If going outdoors,
Urbaszewski said wearing a
face mask can decrease how
many smoke particles you’re
inhaling.
“It’s all about minimizing
the amount of smoke you’re
breathing,” he said. “If you
have (face masks), it’s a good
day to use them.”
As for pets, Urbaszewski
said to remember they need
to breathe too.
“Taking a long jog with
your dog, probably not a
great idea today because
you’re gonna feel lousy, and
so will the dog,” he said.
Dr. Ravi Kalhan, a pulm-
onologist at Northwestern
Memorial Hospital, said
anyone exposed to “this
degree of unhealthy air” is
likely to have symptoms to
varying degrees, whether it
be constrained breathing,
a burning sensation in the
throat or red, watery, itchy
eyes. But those with chronic
conditions should take extra
care.
He said spending several
hours outside in this level
of poor air quality roughly
equates to smoking a quarter
to a half-pack of cigarettes.
Northwestern’s pulmo-
nary clinic was experienc-
ing an increase in calls from
concerned patients Tues-
day related to the air quality,
Kalhan said. The emergency
room was also seeing an
increase in visitors.
“The unfortunate thing
for people with chronic
conditions, and for anyone
for that matter, is that these
are not one-off events
anymore,” Kalhan said. “If
it was a once-a-year event
where we have to only deal
with these problems for a
day, it’s more manageable,
but we’re seeing unhealthy
air quality with such
frequency lately that we’re
needing long-term strategies
and solutions.
“Kids and people in the
summertime are outside
a lot, and being exposed
to a significant amount of
particulate matter is going
to have long-term health
consequences. If this keeps
happening, we’re going to
have to grapple with a real
public health problem.”
As other regions of the
country dealt with excessive
heat, Chicago’s temperatures
reached only the low 70s
Tuesday. Those tempera-
tures are expected to climb
into the low 80s over the
next few days. Severe thun-
derstorms and excessive
rainfall are possible through
Saturday, weather officials
said.
Ford, the state climatolo-
gist, said there are air-qual-
ity alerts as far south as the
Kentucky border, making
this a statewide problem for
the next few days.
For some parts of south-
ern Illinois, where there’s
both an air-quality alert and
excessive heat watch, Ford
said it’ll be tricky to address
these compounding issues.
“One of the suggestions
for reducing the potential for
heat health issues is finding a
shady spot if you don’t have
air conditioning, getting
outside,” he said. “But you
also have this ‘You shouldn’t
go outside. You need to mini-
mize your time outside.’ ”
Everyone should take
these air-quality warnings
seriously, Ford said.
“Even if you’re as healthy
as they come, it can really do
damage to your lungs, your
respiratory system,” he said.
“If you need an excuse to
take it easy and not exercise,
this is a really good excuse.”
Carrying on
Englewood resident
Stephanie Freeman, 65,
knelt in front of her house,
snipping weeds with metal
scissors. She wore slides and
pink pajama pants.
She said her lawn mower
broke down in January, and
she comes outside periodi-
cally to cut back the over-
growth outside her house.
Freeman was surprised
to see the “heavy waves of
smoke” when she walked
outside.
“I was a little shocked,”
he said. “I didn’t know what
had happened.”
At this time of the year her
allergies normally act up, she
said, and the air quality just
makes it worse. But despite
the hazy skies she said she
was determined to carry on
as usual.
“It’s not easy work, and
it’s been slower going than
normal,” Freeman said. “But
after doing all this exer-
tion I am feeling just a tiny
bit winded. I’m excited to
go inside and be in a more
comfortable environment.”
Residents walked by with
dogs and played soccer
across the street. Freeman
used an old wet T-shirt to
clean off the scissors and
stood straight up, holding
the fence next to her house
for balance.

form of the theory say this
means no other organs of
state government — not
courts, not governors, not
election administrators, not
independent commissions
— can alter a legislature’s
actions on federal elections.
Roberts rejected that
position.
“The Elections Clause
does not insulate state legis-
latures from the ordinary
exercise of state judicial
review,” he wrote.
The ruling dismissed the
theory, one that an unusu-
ally diverse array of lawyers,
judges and scholars across
the ideological spectrum
viewed as extreme and
dangerous.
But election law special-
ists cautioned that Tuesday’s
decision elevated the power
of federal courts in the
process, allowing them to
second-guess at least some
rulings of state courts based
on state law.
As Roberts put it, “state
courts do not have free rein”
and are subject to oversight
by federal courts in cases
involving federal elections.
But he said quite little about
the nature and extent of that
oversight.
“The questions presented
in this area are complex and
context-specific,” the chief
justice wrote. “We hold
only that state courts may
not transgress the ordinary
bounds of judicial review
such that they arrogate
to themselves the power
vested in state legislatures to
regulate federal elections.”
Justices Sonia Sotomayor,
Elena Kagan, Brett Kavana-
ugh, Amy Coney Barrett
and Ketanji Brown Jack-
son joined the chief justice’s
majority opinion.
The case will have no
practical impact in the
dispute that gave rise to it,
involving North Carolina’s
congressional voting map.
A recent ruling by the state’s
Supreme Court authorized
the Republican-controlled
Legislature to draw maps as
it sees fit, ensuring that the
resulting districts will be
warped by politics.

Officials: Whiting refinery to blame for odor

A release from the BP
Whiting refinery from
severe weather is to blame
for the pungent odor that
spread across Lake, Porter

Sunday, according to the
Porter County Emergency
Management Agency.
Indiana state officials
are investigating the situ-
ation.
In a statement posted
on Facebook at 12:23 a.m.
Monday, the agency wrote
that “due to severe weather
conditions in the region
today, BP’s Whiting refinery
experienced an operational
disruption that triggered
unplanned flaring of gases
from their facility.”
The statement noted that
“BP advises they expect the
situation to be resolved in

IN CONJUNCTION WITH NAI HIFFMAN
Members of the League of Women voters rally Dec. 7 outside
the Supreme Court in Washington. DREW ANGERER/GETTY 2022
No. 21-1271, concerned a
voting map drawn by the
North Carolina Legislature
after the 2020 census that
was initially rejected as a
partisan gerrymander by
the state’s Supreme Court.
Experts said the map was
likely to yield a congres-
sional delegation made up
of 10 Republicans and four
Democrats.
The state court initially
rejected the argument
that it was not entitled to
review the actions of the
state’s Legislature, saying
that adopting the indepen-
dent state legislature theory
would be “repugnant to the
sovereignty of states, the
authority of state constitu-
tions and the independence
of state courts, and would
produce absurd and danger-
ous consequences.”
Republicans seeking to
restore the legislative map
last year asked the U.S.
Supreme Court to inter-
vene, arguing in an emer-
gency application that the
state court had been power-
less to act.
The justices rejected
the request for immediate
intervention, and the elec-
tion in November was con-
ducted under a map drawn
by experts appointed by a
state court.
The GOP lawmakers ap-
pealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court, saying the state court
was not entitled to sec-
ond-guess the Legislature.
The composition of the
North Carolina Supreme
Court changed after elec-
tions in November, favoring
Republicans by a 5-2 margin.

land Security deputy direc-
tor Paul Petrie told the
Post-Tribune that his office

that the refinery experi-

The Indiana Depart-
ment of Environmental
Management is investigat-
ing the situation, according
to department spokesman
Barry Sneed. In a state-
ment, Sneed wrote that “an
Office of Air Quality inspec-
tor is scheduled to be on
site today to obtain addi-
tional information on the
reported loss of power over

The Porter County Emer-

called a “shameful manipu-
lation of fundamental prin-
ciples of our democracy and
the rule of law,” the new
majority reversed course,
saying the Legislature was
free to draw gerrymandered
voting districts as it saw fit.
Many observers had
expected the U.S. Supreme
Court to dismiss the case in
light of that development.
But Roberts concluded
that the case involved a live
controversy and that the
Supreme Court retained
jurisdiction over it.
In dissent, Thomas, writ-
ing for three members of
the court, said the case was
“indisputably moot.” He
added that the majority’s
reasoning on the merits was
unpersuasive.
“In the end,” he wrote,
“I fear that this framework
will have the effect of invest-
ing potentially large swaths
of state constitutional law
with the character of a
federal question not amena-
ble to meaningful or princi-
pled adjudication by federal
courts.”
Thomas said he feared the
ruling would invite last-min-
ute lawsuits over election
disputes. “They will arise
haphazardly, in the midst
of quickly evolving, politi-
cally charged controversies,
and the winners of federal
elections may be decided
by a federal court’s expe-
dited judgment that a state
court exceeded ‘the bounds
of ordinary judicial review’
in construing the state
constitution,” he wrote. “I
would hesitate long before
committing the federal judi-
ciary to this uncertain path.”
The pungent, sulfur-like
odor was reported across
the region.
In a Facebook post at
9:25 p.m. Sunday, the
Porter Police Department
wrote that the department’s
phone lines were “flooded
with Emergency and
Non-Emergency calls in
reference to an overwhelm-
ing ‘gas’ smell outside” and
noted that the social media
users had reported the odor
from Portage “all the way up
into Michigan.”
A BP Products spokes-
person did not return a
request for comment.
Portage Mayor Sue Lynch
said in a statement that she
had been in touch with
police Chief Mike Candi-
ano and fire Chief Randy
Wilkening, as well as repre-
sentatives from IDEM,
Northern Indiana Public
Service Company and local
emergency management
agencies to find out what

conduct.
Lawyers were due in
court Tuesday for a case
management conference in
preparation for a tentative
Jan. 21 trial date. But court
records show that DeNicolo
requested to dismiss the liti-
gation last week.
Cook County Judge
Daniel Kubasiak granted
her request “with preju-
dice,” meaning DeNicolo
cannot refile. The judge
also ordered DeNicolo and
Ferguson to pay their own
attorneys’ fees and related
costs.
There is no mention of a
financial settlement in the
public case file.
Attorneys on both sides
declined to comment.
Efforts to reach Ferguson,
56, and DeNicolo, 45, were
unsuccessful Tuesday, and
Hubbard Vice President Jeff
England did not respond to a
request for comment.
DeNicolo was laid off
from WTMX, the station
known as “The Mix,” in May
2020 after a 20-year career
there. In her lawsuit, she
alleged Ferguson used his
position to coerce her into
performing oral sex from
January until August 2004,
typically after a company
event or after work.
Ferguson “used code
words to communicate his
unwelcome demands for
oral sex,” telling DeNicolo
he “needed a backrub,” the
suit alleged.

weeks ago.

campaign to help pay for the
services and the legal costs
associated with bringing
her murderer to justice had
raised more than $135,000
of its $150,000 goal as of
Monday.
“Due to the uncertainties
associated with this inter-
national case, the cost may
become a significant finan-
cial burden to the family and
could be a critical factor in
the proceedings of the
criminal and civil lawsuits,”
according to the post accom-
panying the campaign, orga-
nized by Liu’s twin sister,
Alice. “Funds will be used
to cover any legal costs, and
expenses of bringing her
home, funeral, and memo-
rials.”
Liu’s body was returned
to Naperville over the
weekend, according to the
crowdfunding post, which
said visitation will be held

ment for fear she would
“lose her job, be publicly
shamed, and humiliated
out of the radio industry
or otherwise driven out of
radio by a vindictive Eric
Ferguson,” the suit said.
She alleged Ferguson
had “blocked (her) career
advancement” and even-
tually “caused their mutual
employer to terminate
her using COVID-19 as a
pretext,” according to the
lawsuit.
DeNicolo’s suit came
about six months after a
popular Ferguson co-host,
Melissa McGurren, left
the station in December
2020 without disclosing a
reason. Kathy Hart, long-
time co-host of the “Eric
& Kathy” morning show
on The Mix, also departed
without explanation in 2017.
McGurren broke her
silence after DeNicolo sued,
alleging in court filings that
Ferguson had created an
unbearably hostile work
environment. Two other
women also came forward
with allegations about
Ferguson: a former sales

the University of Illinois

visiting Neuschwanstein

Halal loaded Cheat Day Fries,

from Page 1
began with 200 halal restau-
rants and markets in the U.S.
back in 1998. This year, it’s
up to more than 15,000, with
over 600 in Illinois — from
outposts of The Halal Guys
to new additions such as Hot
Chi and Atomic Wings.
On holidays like Eid
al-Adha, which falls on
Wednesday, the rise in halal
food options makes it easier
for Muslims to celebrate the
day’s spirit of sharing with
loved ones and community.
And for health-conscious
non-Muslims, the halal stan-
dards for meat — animals
are fed vegetarian diets and
can’t be treated with antibi-
otics or growth hormones,
for a start — make it clearer
what’s ending up on the
plate.
Hot Chi opened in Revival
Food Hall (125 S. Clark St.,
hot-chi.net) in late May,
after the owners opened in
the Chatham neighborhood
(100 W. 87th St.) and at From
Here On, the food hall at the
Old Post Office in the West
Loop (433 W. Van Buren St.).
The first Hot Chi opened
in 2021, said Amer Abdul-
lah, one of the owners of Hot
Chi along with his brother,
Mutaz Abdullah, and Kinan
Moufti, a family friend.
“We like to say Hot Chi
was born in Nashville but
raised on the South Side,”
Amer Abdullah said. “It’s
kind of got a fun South Side
vibe to it.”
In preparation for the
grand opening of their third
location, the team began
posting TikToks, and one
went viral, gaining Hot Chi
a devoted following.
“It was both exhilarating
and stressful,” Amer Abdul-
lah said.
The Abdullah family has
been in the restaurant busi-
ness for three decades, he
said, and Hot Chi was devel-
oped from a recipe he and
his partners experimented
with at the family’s South
Side restaurant, Cedars
Mediterranean Kitchen,
1206 E. 53rd St. When his
father died in 2019, Abdullah
took over running the Hyde
Park restaurant and began
tweaking the menu.

harissa glaze, sumac-
dusted onions, pickles and a
creamy toum garlic sauce, all
between a soft yet substan-
tial brioche bun.
The sandwich was a hit,
so the brothers and Moufti
decided to build a new
restaurant around it. They
gave their chicken sandwich
an expletive-laced name
suggesting it’s better than
Popeyes in hopes of compet-
ing locally with national
brands.
They also created the Hot
Honey Butta’ chicken sand-
wich, which Abdullah said
is “quite special” because of
its sweet and spicy nature.
Both are Hot Chi’s signa-
ture sandwiches and both
are halal.
The tenders are the only
menu item at Hot Chi that
are not halal, Amer Abdul-
“We like to say
Hot Chi was born
in Nashville but
raised on the South
Side. It’s kind of got
a fun South Side
vibe to it.”
— Amer Abdullah, one of the
owners of Hot Chi
lah said, because they have
yet to find a halal supplier
for tenders with prices low
enough to keep them afford-
able for Hot Chi’s customers.
Abdullah said it was
important to the team that
some, if not all, of the menu
should be halal. Zabiha meat
comes from an animal that
was hand-slaughtered in
the name of God, instead of
machine-cut, in a way that
aims to ensure the animal
does not suffer and is treated
humanely. Halal is an Arabic
word that means “permis-
sible” and refers to foods
and other products — from
cosmetics to pharmaceuti-
cals — allowed in Islam.
“Amid all of the zeitgeist
around vegan and vegetar-
ian, I found that what the
Prophet (Muhammad) and
God taught us 1,400 years
ago was such a wonderful
balance between treating
animals well while still being
able to sacrifice them for our
human consumption for us
to survive and live,” Amer
Abdullah said. “Specifi-
cally, being very careful in
how they are slaughtered
but also, most importantly,
saying a prayer before,
became a very important
value to myself, and I shared
that with Kinan and Mutaz.”
Current market
options for the “perfect
hand-slaughtered” halal
meat would end with
chicken sandwiches at Hot
Chi priced over $20 each, so
for now, they source from
vendors who use machines
with a method that closely
mirrors halal standards and
still meets some of Hot Chi’s
values.
Along with chicken sand-
wiches and tenders, Hot
Chi also serves a salad and

SCOTT STANTIS/FOR THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Jim Crown’s loss is another cruel blow

for the city’s efforts against gun violence
For decades, civic-minded
business leaders have been will-
ing to engage with this city’s
quality of life. Their field hasn’t
mattered, nor has their residence
in city or suburb. Through vehi-
cles like the Commercial Club
of Chicago’s Civic Committee,
they’ve rolled up their sleeves
with the understanding that they
have a role to play in making
Chicago a better place to live.
James Crown, the billionaire
chairman and chief executive
officer of Henry Crown & Co.,
managing partner of Aspen Skiing
Co. and a director of JPMorgan
Chase & Co. and General Dynam-
ics, among others, was a perfect
example.
Crown died Sunday in a
single-vehicle accident at
the Aspen Motorsports Park
in Woody Creek, Colorado,
the Pitkin County coroner’s
office said in a news release.
Crown, whose family long has
had successful ventures in the
Aspen area, was celebrating his
70th birthday by driving a race
car around a track. Survivors
included both his nonagenar-
ian parents, Renee and Lester
Crown, irreplaceable philanthro-
pists themselves, his wife, Paula,
four children, two brothers, four
sisters and two grandchildren.
While their hearts were going

problem with gun violence.
Earlier this month, he
announced he was putting his
efforts and formidable resources
behind a crime reduction strat-
egy focused on persuading fellow
business leaders to invest in
the city and offer jobs to thou-
sands of people in the city’s most
dangerous neighborhoods. At the
same time, he set about funding
violence intervention programs
and other crucial reform efforts
designed to bring down the city’s
unacceptable murder rate.
“Historically, the Civic
Committee has not been involved
in public safety matters,” Crown
told the Chicago Sun-Times less
than a month ago. “I gotta say

When it came to gun violence,
Crown was right when he said
that “holistically addressing the
issue” was the only way to go. He
knew that a distinct, triage-type
strategy was needed for situations
where violence was escalating
suddenly, as well as a long-term
plan for creating jobs, improving
schools and building supportive
infrastructure.
Those ideas aren’t new or radi-
cal, of course, but Crown was
willing to use his clout to insist
that his peers put more focus on
them and, in a city where great
ideas have been floating around
for years, intense focus and the
provision of resources probably
are what matter the most.
In essence, Crown was promis-
ing mobilization.
Businesspeople tend to like
credible, well-defined goals.
Crown had one. Reduce murders
to fewer than 400 a year within
five years. That would be 400
too many, and still far beyond
what most cities could imagine
tolerating, but it would be a vast
improvement over the 700-plus
number common here in recent
years. Experts see such a goal
as achievable; after all, that was
roughly the city’s average annual
murder rate in the 1990s.
Clearly, those of us who appre-
ciate all that Crown did for
Chicago have a challenge before
them. To continue this work and
meet this goal.

ABOUT THE DEMISE OF BORIS JOHNSON

A bipartisan House of Commons committee recently
found that former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had
deliberately misled lawmakers about his staff’s repeated
violations of lockdown rules that had been imposed during
the peak of the COVID-19 crisis. The committee’s report
makes for grim reading. But it also may mark a crucial first
step toward restoring Britain’s tarnished democracy.
Johnson, who was forced out of office last year in
part over the events that became known as “Partygate,”
resigned as a member of Parliament on seeing the report’s
conclusions. Echoing another ex-leader in hot water,
Johnson decried the process as a “witch hunt,” and the
Conservative-majority committee as a “kangaroo court”
whose findings were “deranged.” Don’t believe it.
No one reading the 108-page report and annexes
could conclude that it lacked rigor. Its conclusions
were unequivocal and damning. The committee found
five different ways in which the former prime minis-
ter committed contempt of Parliament. Some of John-
son’s explanations were “so disingenuous that they were
by their very nature deliberate attempts to mislead the
Committee and the House,” the report concluded. As one
tabloid put it, Johnson told a “proper whopper.” And not
just one. As for the conduct itself, the report detailed six
parties at government buildings during 2020 and 2021,
when strict lockdown rules were in effect. ...
The report found that Johnson was aware of the gather-
ings, knew that they violated COVID rules, and repeatedly
attempted to mislead lawmakers about them. ...
Democracies can survive officials who behave badly, but
not institutions that tolerate them or fail to uphold their
own rules. ... It will now be up to Prime Minister Rishi
Sunak — who entered office promising “integrity, profes-
sionalism and accountability” — to make good on his
commitment to raise standards in public life. That will be
a significant challenge — but, as Johnson’s reckless reign
showed, a worthy one.

Chicagoans and suburbanites are split
in their views on NASCAR event
By Will Johnson
When then-Mayor Lori Light-
foot was pitching a downtown
stock car race to a skeptical
City Council last summer, she
predicted it would be a huge hit
with the public. “The level of
excitement that I have seen from
people, who frankly were clos-
eted NASCAR fans, all across our
city, I think is off the charts,” she
said.
Lightfoot got more than a few
things wrong while in office, but
she may have called this one right.
Even if many city and suburban
residents have no plans to attend
NASCAR’s first-ever street race,
our research shows that most
agree that Chicago will benefit
from it.
While the city was erecting
grandstands and barricades in
and around Grant Park for this
weekend’s spectacle, we polled
a representative sample of city
and suburban residents about the
race as well as Chicago’s tradition
of hosting large-scale outdoor
events in the Loop.
Here’s what Chicagoans and
suburban Cook County residents
said.
Overall, people are equally split
on shutting down Grant Park
and parts of DuSable Lake Shore
Drive to create the 2.2-mile race
circuit. Four in 10 approve, and
4 in 10 oppose, with the remain-
der saying they have no opinion.
Approval rises to 45% among
people 18 to 34 years old, while
opposition increases to 46%
among people 55 and older.
Fewer people are OK that City
Hall rescheduled events such as
Taste of Chicago to accommodate
the racecourse over the Fourth of
July holiday. Only a third approve
the city’s decision to reschedule
or relocate other events. Support
drops to 1 in 4 among 35- to
54-years-olds.
While 70% say they have little
inclination to attend the race —
ticket prices, which range from
$269 to more than $4,000 for
the big race on Sunday, may be a
factor — more than half of people
18 to 34 and 4 in 10 people of color
are interested. Also, for a third of
people and almost half of those
55 and up, NASCAR itself doesn’t
appear to be the turnoff — they say
they don’t like to attend summer
Illinois law hinders protest of Palestinians’ oppression
By Marilyn Katz
and James Klutznick
In the early morning hours
one day last week, we and many
others received an urgent plea
for help from a friend in Palestine
whose family home was under
vicious attack by men with guns
and incendiary weapons.
What surprised us was not the
cry for help. The last six months
have seen a steady increase in
violence against Palestinian
villages, and Palestinian and
Israeli friends alike have shared
the news. The surprise was that
the request came from a member
of the Illinois General Assembly.
State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid
was visiting his parents at their
family home in Turmus Ayya —
an idyllic West Bank village that
is home to many families whose
younger members are U.S. citi-
zens, including some Illinoisans.
The Rashids’ home, like dozens
of others in Turmus Ayya and
neighboring villages, was under
attack by Israeli “settlers” — a
term Israel uses to describe Israe-
lis who, with government funding
and in violation of international
law, have been given land and
resources to build communities
in the West Bank. Israel occupies
more than 60% of the territory
and has had settlements there
since 1967.
The excuse for the settler
attack that left dozens of homes
and cars burned was the killing
of four settlers by two Palestinian
gunmen on Tuesday, which was,
in turn, likely retaliation for the
Palestinians killed the previous
day during an Israeli attack on the
Jenin refugee camp. However,
the vigilante campaign by Israeli
settlers has been intensifying all
year. In Illinois, an “anti-boycott”
law prevents us from taking broad
action to protest this violence and
oppression.
More than 100 Palestinians
have been killed this year, includ-
ing more than a dozen children,
making it one of the deadliest

festivals or events in Chicago.
Large majorities think
NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race
will be good for the city. Three in
4 say it will positively affect tour-
ism, and two-thirds think it will
also help Chicago attract other
major sporting events. While a
logistical headache for residents,
the real value to the city may rest
with the visitors the race attracts.
We won’t know, of course,
whether turning the city’s front
yard into a racetrack was worth it
until the cars and drivers have left
Chicago for their next event.
On one hand, two days of
national TV coverage showing
the Loop skyline and the lake-
front in their summer splen-
dor could go a long way toward
getting tourists to set aside crime
concerns and vacation here. Tele-

years so far for West Bank Pales-
tinians since 2005, according
to the United Nations. Palestin-
ian homes and stores have been
ransacked, vehicles trashed, fields
ravaged and residents terror-
ized. Surprisingly, even the Israeli
media have called these actions
“pogroms,” evoking the Russian,
Polish and Ukrainian attacks on
Jewish communities that led
to the mass exodus from those
countries in the 19th and early
20th centuries.
While the U.S. and the U.N.
have condemned the attacks,
Benjamin Netanyahu’s govern-
ment has not only ignored settler
violence but also announced that
the government supports the
creation of more than 4,500 new
homes for settlers in the occu-
pied territories. This is, again, in
violation of international law and
agreements with the U.S. and a
mockery of the fact that Palestin-
vised violence or mayhem, on the
other hand, would only reinforce
perceptions that Chicago is too
dangerous.
Regardless, the event is prov-
ing that, despite widespread
worry about public safety among
people who live and work here,
the city remains a magnet for
out-of-towners. As Julie Giese,
president of the Chicago Street
Race, told the Tribune last month,
almost 40% of tickets have been
purchased outside the Chicago
area, with sales in 48 states and 12
countries. Critically, this means
the event could generate new
revenue rather than just diverting
dollars Chicagoans would have
spent anyway on other diversions.
Altogether, NASCAR has forecast
that 100,000 spectators will fill
Grant Park over the weekend.
ians living in more than 60% of
the West Bank under Israeli rule
cannot obtain residential permits,
including to add a room.
Who are the perpetrators of
this violence? It is often younger
men and women who live in the
settlements. The settlements
range from a collection of small
homes to communities of 30,000
or more. Since 2000, they have
flourished, to 150 settlements or
“outposts,” with 700,000 Israelis
living on Palestinian land, often
seized unlawfully in violation of
international law and protest.
In a statement on Monday, U.N.
spokesperson Farhan Haq said
“the Secretary-General reiterates
that settlements are a flagrant
violation of international law.”
According to Haq, the secre-
tary-general also said that “the
expansion of these illegal settle-
ments is a significant driver of
tensions and violence and deep-
And that means money for
the city. NASCAR is paying a
$500,000 permit fee and giving
the city a cut of ticket receipts
and sales of food, beverages and
merchandise at the track. Based
on projected attendance, Chicago
and other governments could also
receive nearly $9 million in sales
and hotel taxes.
As anyone who’s lived here for
a while knows, Chicago seems
to be one long outdoor festival
from Memorial Day through
Labor Day. Almost half of city and
suburban residents alike groused
in our poll that they’re too disrup-
tive to be worthwhile, but 4 in 5
told us that summertime events
such as Taste of Chicago and
Lollapalooza set Chicago apart
from other cities, with 9 in 10
saying these events are an import-
ens humanitarian needs.”
The expansion of the settle-
ments “further entrenches Isra-
el’s occupation of Palestinian
territory, encroaches on Palestin-
ian land and natural resources,
hampers the free movement
of the Palestinian population
and undermines the legitimate
rights of the Palestinian people to
self-determination and sover-
eignty,” the statement said.
Who are the victims? The
3.2 million West Bank Palestin-
ians forced to live in a fraction of
their historic lands, ruled by the
Israeli military on the ground
and drones in the air, through
hundreds of road obstacles and
101 permits that not only impede
travel but employment, health
care and home care as well. It is
a sad irony that while West Bank
Palestinians live less than a few
miles from the Mediterranean
Sea, unless they can obtain the
ant part of Chicago’s culture.
For the next two years, this
nonstop party will include
NASCAR’s Chicago Street Race.
Here’s a way for Mayor Brandon
Johnson to one-up his predeces-
sor: Bring back Taylor Swift. The
nearly 200,000 people who filled
Soldier Field for her three sold-
out shows helped Chicago hotels
set an all-time record in booked
rooms and revenue. And no one
complained about street closures
or noise.
Swifties, what do you think?

right permits, they can never go

While President Joe Biden’s
administration has “protested”
the actions of what are essentially
Israeli terrorists, it is unclear
what further concrete steps the
Biden administration will take.
However, those of us here in Illi-
nois have the opportunity to act
to support our legislative leader
and take action that is both moral
and effective.
We have seen the power of
nonviolent state-level actions
such as boycotts, including the
efforts that brought apartheid
to an end in South Africa. In
Illinois, we are prohibited from
taking such action with respect
to Israel.
In 2015, the Illinois General
Assembly passed a law making it
illegal for the state to do business
with any company that refuses
to do business in the occupied
West Bank. Lawmakers’ target —
companies like Ben and Jerry’s,
which sells ice cream in Israel
but not, for moral reasons, in the
occupied lands.
It’s time to recognize the real-
ity of the Middle East and treat
the illegal occupation of Pales-
tine with the same integrity with
which we stood up against South
African apartheid. It’s time to
repeal the anti-boycott laws that
prohibit us from taking the same
moral stance we took toward
South Africa that was so effective.
By overturning the ill-con-
ceived “anti-boycott” law now in
effect in our state, we can demon-
strate our commitment to democ-
racy and equity for all Illinois
citizens and their families in the
Middle East.

History is flexible for Trump’s MAGA troops

Clarence Page
I used to believe, as George
Santayana is said to have said, “Those
who fail to learn the lessons of history
are doomed to repeat them.”
Nowadays, amid culture wars and
the rise of former — and possibly
future — President Donald Trump’s
MAGA movement, Santayana’s senti-
ment might as well be “If you don’t
like history, rewrite it.”
That’s what House Republicans
tried to do last week. With a breath-
taking disregard for the history that
actually happened, Reps. Marjo-
rie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Elise
Stefanik, R-N.Y., introduced reso-
lutions to “expunge” Trump’s two
impeachments, as if such Articles of
Impeachment had never passed the
full House of Representatives.
Yes, as you may well recall, Trump
is the only president to be impeached
twice— and both Senate trials ended
in acquittal.
But that official acquittal was not
enough for Greene and Stefanik, who
know a golden opportunity to grand-
stand when they see one. Then again,
they could hardly have picked a more
appropriate hero to champion than
the grandmaster of alternative facts,
Trump himself.
On his long list of greatest hits,
Trump claims he won the 2020
election “by a lot” (despite losing to
President Joe Biden in both the elec-
toral and the popular votes) but had
his victory “stolen” by massive voter
fraud, despite more than 80 judges
and members of the Supreme Court
who found otherwise.
He still claims “my economy”
was the best in the nation’s history
(it wasn’t), that he “completed” his
border wall (he didn’t) and that his
administration “accomplished more
than almost any administration in the
history of our country,” a claim that
brought laughter when he delivered it
to the United Nations General Assem-
bly.
I used to think my favorite dysto-
pian novel, George Orwell’s “1984,”
was a work of fiction. But Trump and
his MAGA followers make Orwell’s
world of Big Brother and “thought
police” sound like the evening news.
Yet, as thought-policing goes,
Trump and his movement are only
perched at the tip of a very large
culture erupting all the way down
to local school boards and librar-
ies. As much as I defend freedom of
speech and the press, I am constantly
dismayed by those who take those
freedoms for granted without examin-
ing what they really mean.
More ominous, is how easily our
democracy can be compromised by
ambitious politicians such as Rep.
Kevin McCarthy, a California Repub-
lican whose desperate struggle to be
elected speaker of the House came on
the heels of a diabolical deal. Under
the concessions he made, there was
a rules change to allow any single
member of Congress from either party
to bring a “motion to vacate,” which
could force a vote on removing the
speaker.
Republican members loved that,
since it empowered all members,
including Greene, whose bizarre
tweets included suggestions that the
2018 California wildfires may have
happened not because of climate
change but because some kind of
“space laser” might have lit things on
fire.
Needless to say, her campaign
contributions also were inflamed with
each new burst of publicity and back-
lash of sarcasm from her numerous
critics. The result has been less “1984”
than “Animal House.”
“Who controls the past, controls
the future,” says slogan of “the Party”
in charge of the “1984” government,
“who controls the present controls the
past.”
That’s what’s really at stake in
today’s political culture wars.
“The American people know
Democrats weaponized the power
of impeachment against President
Donald Trump to advance their own
extreme political agenda,” Stefanik
said. “President Donald Trump was
rightfully acquitted, and it is past time
to expunge Democrats’ sham smear
against not only President Trump’s
name, but against millions of patriots
across the country.”
We’ll see. As ridiculous as the
people in charge of the House may be
these days, I may mock them some-
times but not their supporters.
As angry, narrow and bitter as their
complaints may be, their gripes are
no less legitimate than those of any
other voters. It is up to Democrats as
well as Republicans to hear and debate
the real problems faced by voters and
come up with some thoughtful ways
to address their concerns.
I’m talking about such mundane,
earthly concerns as the economy,
violence, education, jobs and public
health, just for starters.
Such concerns may not be as excit-
ing or sexy as the aforementioned
fictional space lasers, but they are very
real.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

City workers’ parade efforts
Thanks to all those who organized and participated in
Sunday’s parade for reminding the world that Chicago
deserves its reputation as an inclusive city for gender- and
sexually diverse individuals.
I live in Lakeview East/Northalsted and attended the
Pride Parade. I appreciate both the importance of the
event and the disruptions to the residents who live in the
neighborhoods that host the parade.
I appreciate the support of the city Streets and Sanita-
tion Department workers and administrators. Who knew
snowplows had a summer job? Before the parade began,
city snowplows were used to block traffic from affected
streets, putting them within a block of where they were
going to be used as part of the cleanup. Smart, logistical
and perhaps even economical.
Within hours of the end of the parade, I saw street
sweepers on Broadway, in staggered formation, cleaning
up fallen leftovers of the parade in a coordinated pattern.
Monday morning, I walked on clean streets and sidewalks,
where I observed city workers picking up the smaller
piles left behind by machine cleanups. I’m sure work is
still going on given the number of streets affected by the
parade, but I am impressed.
Finally a recognition — one that thankfully feels odd to
make in Chicago. Given recent and pending cases before
the U.S. Supreme Court around personal choices and civil
rights for the LGBTQ community, I want to recognize
those city administrators and workers who worked in the
cleanup, despite personal or religious views about their
gay neighbors and city neighborhoods.

Behavior at Pride celebrations
Regarding “LGBTQ+ Pride revelers flash feathers,
flags across country” (June 26): I would have laughed at
this Associated Press article if it weren’t so obtuse. Those
revelers flashed a lot more than feathers and flags. There
is a disgusting display of nudity and sexual behavior at
Pride celebrations, which is completely unfit for public
consumption.
If members of this community are truly looking for
acceptance, they might want to start by being more
respectful.
— Pam Cook, Lisle
Inflated estimate for parade
Sunday’s Pride Parade was said to be attended by 1
million people. Let’s do some simple math. If the parade
route is 32 blocks long, each block would have to have
more than 31,000 people.
This happens with all parade estimates, so it’s about
time to give more accurate estimates. Because 50 years
from now, someone will see that number and say “wow.”

NASCAR a boon to city, hotels
Prior to COVID-19, the state’s hotel occupancy tax was
the largest growing source of tax revenue for Illinois.
But the hotel and tourism industry has yet to fully
recover from the devastation of the pandemic and fuel
Illinois’ economy the way we once did. Our staffing levels
also remain below pre-COVID-19 numbers. In fact, hotel
employment is down by more than 250,000 jobs nation-
wide compared with February 2020 levels, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Bringing travel, tourism and large-scale events back to
Chicago is necessary to restore our industry as one of the
top economic engines, employers and tax generators in
the state. Major events and conventions have a cascad-
ing effect on the local economy. For every $100 a hotel
guest spends on lodging, they spend another $222 in other
places such as restaurants, retail stores and attractions.
That is why I was encouraged to hear Mayor Brandon
Johnson speak in support of the NASCAR Chicago Street
Race Weekend. He noted that “events like the Chicago
Street Race are critical to continuing positive tourism
growth and the type of economic activity necessary to
benefit Chicago residents and communities.”
For the inaugural NASCAR races next month,
two-thirds of the 100,000 attendees will be from out of
town, according to event planning firm CSL International.
Four out of 10 attendees will be staying at hotels. An esti-
mated 24,000 hotel room nights in Chicago will be booked
over the July 1 to 2 weekend, providing a much-needed
boost for the industry. Already, we’re seeing multiple
reports of hotels on pace to sell out. The worldwide atten-
tion will boost Chicago’s reputation, paying dividends for
years to come.
Most importantly, the hardworking men and women in
Chicago’s hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions, as well
as at the event, will experience the upsides firsthand. The
Chicago Street Race is expected to produce more than $31
million in payroll earnings and generate $3 million in direct
taxes to the city and several million more to the county and
state. Overall, the weekend is expected to generate more
than $113 million in economic benefits for the city.
This kind of event not only helps get more people back
to work in the hospitality industry, but it also helps show
visitors and TV viewers that Chicago is a great place to live
in and visit.

Lodging Association

Loss of admirable civic leader
I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of James
Crown.
Crown was a pillar of Chicago, a prominent voice in the
Jewish community and a true civic leader who loved his
city. Even in recent weeks, he was busy rallying his fellow
business leaders around an ambitious new jobs program to
change the odds for thousands of young folks around the
city and keep them safer. He cared deeply about Chicago
and wanted to make it a place where everyone could
thrive — no matter who they are or what part of town they
call home. My hearts go out to his wife, Paula; his mother
Renee; children Torie, Hayley, W. Andrew, and Summer;
and grandkids during this incredibly difficult time.

OBITUARIES
JAMES CROWN 1953-2023
Scion of one of Chicago’s most
wealthy, philanthropic families
By Bob Goldsborough
For Chicago Tribune
A scion of one of Chicago’s
wealthiest and most phil-
anthropic families, James
Crown held key roles with
venerable institutions such
as the University of Chicago
and the Museum of Science
and Industry, and was often
at the center of conversa-
tions over the city’s politi-
cal, business and civic issues,
including the epidemic of
gun violence.
Crown died Sunday, his
70th birthday, after the
vehicle he was in crashed
into an impact barrier at the
Aspen Motorsports Park in
Woody Creek, Colorado,
near Aspen, where he had
a home. Crown had been a
resident of Chicago’s Gold
Coast.
The Crown family issued
a statement late Sunday
confirming news reports of
the accident.
“Tremendously civic-
minded, Jim was kind, and
his passion for caring was
unending,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker
said in a tweet early Monday.
“MK and I were saddened
to learn of the passing of our
friend Jim Crown.”
Born James Schine Crown
in Chicago, Crown was the
grandson of industrialist
Henry Crown, who in 1919
founded Material Service
Corp., which later merged
with aerospace and defense
firm General Dynamics.
Crown’s father was longtime
civic leader Lester Crown.
Crown received a bach-
elor’s degree in political
science from Hampshire
College in Massachusetts in
1976 and then a law degree
from Stanford Law School
in 1980.
Crown worked for five
years for investment bank
Salomon Brothers in New
York before returning to
Chicago to join his fami-
ly’s investment firm, Henry
Crown & Co. He became
the company’s president
in 2002, overseeing invest-
ments and his family’s
fortune, and added the roles
of chairman and CEO in
2018.
He served on the boards
of several major corpora-
tions, at one time being lead
director of Sara Lee Corp.
At the time of his death he
was on the board of JPMor-
gan Chase & Co., and recent
filings showed that he was
bank’s largest insider owner,
with a $1.72 billion stake.
Crown’s role in JPMor-
gan Chase stemmed from
his family’s ownership in
predecessor banks, dating
to the First National Bank
of Chicago. Crown’s grand-
father Henry had begun
buying shares in First
Chicago in the early 1970s
after the bank’s stock
crashed following the Hunt
brothers’ failed attempt to
corner the silver market.
First Chicago merged
with NBD in 1995 and then
with Bank One in 1998, and
in 2000 Crown and another
board member, John Hall,
recruited Jamie Dimon to
be Bank One’s CEO. Bank
One in 2004 was acquired
by JPMorgan Chase, which
made Dimon its CEO.

he “was still an unlikely
candidate running for the
U.S. Senate,” Barack and

Obamas said. “He even
introduced our girls to the
joys of Aspen winter.”

ranked among his top
campaign bundlers.
“He was an extraordi-
nary civic leader and a loyal
and devoted friend who
I have now known for 25
years,” said Obama Foun-
dation CEO Valerie Jarrett.
“Jim chaired the board of
the University of Chicago at
the same time that I chaired
the board of the University
of Chicago Medical Center,
so we worked together very
closely, and he used his
energy and commitment
to excellence and brought
all his incredible power
and used it to be a force for
good.”
Crown and his wife
earlier this month attended
a White House state dinner
for the prime minister of
India. In a statement Presi-
dent Joe Biden said “it was
heartbreaking to learn today
of his shocking death.”
“Jim lived a great Chicago
story — one that tied our
nation’s industrious past
to an ever-hopeful future,”
Biden said. “His commit-
ment to Chicago was bone
deep; many flagship insti-
tutions benefited from his
generosity.”
Crown also was a strong
supporter of former Mayor
Rahm Emanuel.
Crown was a longtime
University of Chicago
trustee who chaired the
board for six years. In 2021
he and his wife, Paula,
donated $75 million to the
U. of C.’s social work school,
which was renamed the
Crown Family School of
Social Work, Policy and
Practice.
“The challenges facing
today’s communities require
innovative, interdisciplinary
and proactive solutions,” he
told the Tribune at the time.
“We are honored to make
this investment in under-
standing and addressing
profound societal challenges
on both a local and global
scale.”
Crown served on the
boards of General Dynam-
ics Corp., the Museum of
Science and Industry and
the Aspen Institute.

force formed by the Civic
Committee of the Commer-
cial Club of Chicago with the
goal of reducing deaths from
gun violence.
“We are clear-eyed about
the challenges, but we also
think it’s necessary to have a
shared set of ambitious goals
when it comes to reducing
violence and saving lives,”
Crown told the Tribune
several weeks ago.
“We have to do our best to
stay attractive to the corpo-
rate community because of
all the benefits that happen
for all the citizens here, if
we’ve got a stable employ-
ment base and employers
that are succeeding.”
Jarrett lauded Crown’s
“central role representing
the business community”
with the task force.
“The countless hours that
he has spent in that effort
will be a part of his legacy
as well,” she said. “When
you think of the Chicago
business community and
people who don’t just talk
but devote their energy and
time and action, Jim’s name
is at the top of the list. He’s
a role model for what civic
leadership should look like.”
In their statement the
Obamas said that Crown
“cared deeply about Chicago
and making it a place where
everyone could thrive — no
matter who they are or what
part of town they call home.”
Chicago Mayor Brandon
Johnson expressed similar
thoughts.
“A lifelong Chicagoan,
Jim gave back to the city
through philanthropy and
leadership on a number of
civic and academic boards
as he was deeply committed
to investing in Chicago and
its people,” Johnson said in a
statement. “With his gener-
osity, Jim truly embodied
the soul of Chicago.”
Crown and his family
had held an investment
in Aspen Skiing Co. since
1985 and they had owned
the company outright since
1993, with Crown serving as
managing partner.
In describing Aspen
Skiing to the Tribune in
2004, Crown called it “the
best mix of business and
pleasure of anything I do.”
In addition to his father,
Crown is survived by his
mother, Renee; his wife,
Paula; three daughters,
Torie, Hayley and Summer;
a son, W. Andrew; two
brothers, Steven and Daniel;
four sisters, Patricia, Susan,
Sara Crown Star and Janet;
and two grandchildren.

ran a successful mail order company for years and
took great joy in providing model horse enthusiasts
both young and old with fine Breyer model horses.

Tworek, Mary Jane

Mary Jane Tworek, of Park Ridge, IL, age 84 passed away peacefully at Glenbrook Hospital on Wednesday,
June 21, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Mary Jane was born in Chicago
on December 8, 1938, to John and Jane Bowler. She graduated from St. Gertrude
INSTALL!
School, St. Scholastica Academy, and Mundelein College with a bachelor’s degree in
teaching. She went on to achieve a Master of Science in the teaching of mathemat-
ics from the University of Illinois
Chicago. She remained friends with many of her classmates throughout her life.
Mary Jane was passionate about teaching. Over her career, she taught in the
Chicago Public School system and at St. Francis Xavier School in Wilmette.

Mary Jane met the love of her life, Ron Tworek, during college, and after dating for
two years, they married on November 25, 1961. Not surprisingly, Mary Jane invited her students to the
wedding. Ron and Mary Jane moved to Park Ridge to raise their two daughters and son. Mary Jane was
active in the community; she volunteered in the school system, taught religious education at Mary Seat of
Wisdom, served as a Brownie troop leader, and she served as a community advocate. She enjoyed playing
tennis and often asked one of her children to run
over to the park to reserve a court for her and her friends. Mary Jane had a flair for fashion, always
wearing just the right outfit to every event and often changing her hair color and style to stay ahead of
the trends. For many years, in addition to teaching, she worked at Neiman Marcus to support her vast
wardrobe.

Mary Jane and Ron enjoyed traveling to Marco Island, Florida, where they purchased a condominium to es-
cape the Chicago winters. Family was important to Mary Jane. She valued spending time with her children,
grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. After Ron passed, she organized family trips to Disney World and a
visit to her parents’ hometowns in Ireland. Her family will carry the memories forever.

Mary Jane is survived by her daughters Karen (Paul) Ernst and Deborah (Stephen) Piscitelli and son Michael
(Ann) Tworek. Mary Jane was the proud grandmother of seven grandchildren, Matthew (Annie) Ernst, Brian
(Beth) Ernst, Catherine (Andrew) Kosch, Joseph and Robert Piscitelli, Dylon and Emma Tworek, and two
great-grandchildren, Jack and Nate Ernst.

We take comfort that Mary Jane is now reunited with Ron, who predeceased her in 2007. She was also
preceded in death by her parents, John and Jane Bowler, and her sister, Kathleen Stawinoga. Mary Jane
leaves behind a sister, Patricia Flaherty; a sister-in-law, Marlene Tworek; and many wonderful nieces and

State to
gain health
insurance
controls
Pritzker signs bills
providing power over
prices, ACA exchange
By Lisa Schencker
Chicago Tribune
Illinois will soon run its own
Affordable Care Act health insur-
ance marketplace and have the
power to stop sky-high price
increases of plans sold on it.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a pair
of bills Tuesday aimed at giving
Illinois more control over health
insurance prices and the Afford-
able Care Act marketplace,
also known as the Obamacare
exchange, where people can buy
individual and family health insur-
ance plans.
The bill signings Tuesday came
amid criticism aimed at Pritzker
for his decision to close enroll-
ment for many people in a separate
health care program for immi-
grants in the country without legal
permission.
One of the bills signed into law
Tuesday will allow Illinois to run
the exchange where health insur-
ance plans are sold, by 2025. Now,
consumers must go to the feder-
ally-run healthcare.gov to buy
exchange plans.
Pritzker called the new law a
“monumental achievement” at a
news conference Tuesday and said
it will “protect Illinoisans from any
future changes in federal policy
that seek to undermine access to
affordable health care.”
The idea behind that law is
to allow Illinois to better reach
consumers and shield the
exchange from political shifts at
the federal level. Former Presi-
dent Donald Trump made it clear
during his tenure that he was not
a fan of the Affordable Care Act,
and he cut much of the funding
for outreach and for workers who
assist consumers with buying
plans.
“You are less subject to changes
in the political winds so if there’s
a change in administration at the
federal level, you’re a little bit more
insulated,” said Sabrina Corlette, a
research professor at the Center
on Health Insurance Reforms at
Georgetown University.
By running its own exchange,
Illinois could also give consumers
more chances to buy health insur-
ance. Now, consumers can typi-
cally only enroll in exchange plans
during an open enrollment period
that runs from Nov. 1 through
mid-January, or if they experi-
ence certain life changes, such as
the birth of a child or job loss.
When Illinois runs its own
exchange it could open additional
enrollment periods if needed, such
as if there’s a disaster that creates
a need for health insurance, or if a
big employer leaves an area of the
state, said Theresa Eagleson, direc-
tor of the Illinois Department of
Healthcare and Family Services.
Illinois will also be able to better
understand which areas of the
state might need more outreach
or education on the exchange,
based on applications data, Eagle-
son said.
Illinois will join 18 other states
running their own Affordable
Care Act exchanges, Corlette
said. Health insurance companies
will pay assessments to the state,
rather than the federal govern-
ment, to help run the state-based
exchange. The state’s budget for
next fiscal year also includes $10
million to help get the exchange
off the ground.
The second new law will give
Illinois regulators the power to
reject or modify proposed price
increases for individual and
small business health insurance
plans, such as those sold on the
exchange, starting with plans for
2026. The law will not apply to
health insurance plans offered by
large employers, because those
plans are regulated by the federal
government.
“To have the ability to go back
to insurance companies now and
say, ‘This does not work,’ is really
an important tool in our toolbox to
be able to protect consumers,” said
Dana Popish Severinghaus, direc-
tor of the Illinois Department of
Insurance.

Walgreens aims to cut
another $4.1B in costs
Cites weaker demand
for COVID vaccines,
uncertain economy
By Lisa Schencker
Chicago Tribune
Walgreens Boots Alliance is
raising its cost-savings goal by
17% to $4.1 billion after a disap-
pointing quarter — a move that
comes just weeks after it said it
was eliminating 10% of its corpo-
rate workforce.
The announcement Tuesday
follows a weaker-than-expected
quarter marked by less demand
for COVID-19 tests and vaccines,
a slow respiratory illness season,
and consumers facing infla-
tion and an uncertain economy.

Office language and its etiquette not the same
Digital-influenced
vocabulary altering
old-school structures
By Brooks Johnson
Star Tribune
“Proud to say we are leveraging
core competencies to align with
the shift to omnichannel.”
Whether this sentence makes
you laugh or cringe, it is imme-
diately recognizable for its over-
use of corporate buzzwords and
jargon.
But this isn’t exactly a helpful
alternative for an all-hands email
or public announcement: “Q1
results just dropped and they’re
lit!”
For a private Slack message to
a co-worker, though? Why not?
Casual, digital-influenced
language is crashing the old
formal structures of work-
place communication, thanks
in no small part to hybrid office
arrangements and the variety of
messaging apps now in use. And
every new generation of workers
brings a new vocabulary.
“It has been a concern for
employers over the last five to
10 years with new generations
coming in with new styles of
seeing the world — everything is
so casual and quick and instan-
taneous,” said Karen Burke, HR
knowledge adviser at the Society
for Human Resource Manage-
ment. “It’s magnified now with
more employee communication
happening electronically.”
Virtual communication has
opened up more channels for
to $4.65.
“Our performance in the third
quarter did not meet our overall
expectations, and we are disap-
pointed to have to change our
fiscal 2023 guidance,” CEO Roz
Brewer said during an earnings
call.
She said Walgreens admin-
istered 800,000 COVID-19
vaccines during the third quarter,
down 83% from the third quarter
of last year.
Consumers are also being
more cautious in their spending,
she said.
“Our customer is feeling the
strain of higher inflation and
interest rates, lower SNAP bene-
fits and tax refunds and an uncer-
tain economic outlook,” Brewer
said. “They are pulling back
on discretionary and seasonal
spend.”
Additionally, Walgreens plans
to close 150 stores in the U.S. and

dialogue in the office — Micro-
soft Teams video meetings
and chats, Slack channels and
private messages — but it brings
the abbreviation-riddled, emoji-
laced language of text messages
into the office.
Again, that’s fine for personal
conversations among colleagues,
Burke says, so long as it is not
harmful. She said employees —
and their bosses — need to know
their audience and use the right
tone, and terms, for the occasion.
“When speaking to your
manager or director you may need
to turn down the abbreviations
being used,” she said. “I think a lot
of employees, and I wouldn’t put
an age on it, are having challenges
knowing their audience.”
Conflict can arise not because
slang or abbreviations are
unknown but based on whether
they belong in the workplace.

300 in the United Kingdom, said
James Kehoe, executive vice pres-
ident and global chief financial
officer for Walgreens Boots Alli-
ance. The plan is to close those
U.S. stores by fall 2024. Details
were not immediately available
about the locations of those stores.
Walgreens had an operating
loss during the first nine months
of this fiscal year of $6.4 billion,
compared with an operating
income of $2.2 billion during
the same period last year. That
was due, in part, to $6.8 billion,
pre-tax, for opioid-related settle-
ments and litigation. Walgreens
has agreed to pay billions of
dollars in settlements in a number
of lawsuits over its alleged role in
the opioid epidemic.
The earnings call Tues-
day came about a month after
Walgreens said it planned to
eliminate 504 corporate jobs,
with most of the cuts coming
as quicker and using less words,”
Burke said.
It may simply be a matter of
coaching, new-hire training or
ongoing reminders to set expec-
tations in the workplace, virtual
or not.
“Communications plans are
being updated to include digi-
tal communications, and we see
them being used more,” Burke
said. “I’m seeing more employ-
ers asking for sample policies.”
That comes alongside a rise
in social media videos turning
mundane office lingo into fodder
for content.
One trend on TikTok and
Instagram in recent years is
giving new definitions to office-
speak like “Let’s circle back.” @
loewhaley jokingly describes
“Let’s take this offline” as “What
you’re saying is irrelevant to this
conversation and I need you to
stop talking. Also maybe we’ll
discuss it later.”
Social media creators are also
credited with bringing terms like
“quiet quitting” into the main-
stream, changing the way we talk
about work, not just what we are
saying at work.
“I’m not telling you to slack off,
but you can only do what you can
do,” @resumeaddict opined on
Bare Minimum Mondays.
The jokes about office jargon
strike a chord because they can
create a language of belonging —
or exclusion.
Harvard Business Review stud-
ied the use of jargon in 2021 and
found that while it can simplify
internal communication and
offer a feeling of membership,
from Walgreens’ Deerfield and
Chicago offices. Those reduc-
tions are saving the company
about $100 million, Kehoe said.
Walgreens has been striv-
ing in recent years to transform
into a health care destination,
to compete with rivals CVS
Health and Amazon. Walgreens
has invested billions in Chica-
go-based VillageMD, which
has primary care clinics next
to Walgreens stores across the
country.
Walgreens also completed its
acquisition in March of CareCen-
trix, a company that coordinates
home care for patients, includ-
ing after they go home from
the hospital. Earlier this year,
VillageMD acquired Summit
Health-CityMD, which provides
primary, urgent and specialty
care in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
central Oregon.
it can also impose costs. Again
it comes down to knowing your
audience.
“Jargon use can hurt impres-
sions of a speaker; audiences
often view these speakers as
conniving, manipulative or less
likable,” the study said.
One way to combat overusing
buzzwords and niche terms: Start
at the top.
“If you want to reduce exces-
sive jargon use in your company,
start with communications
from the top,” the authors
found. “Low-status professional
members use jargon precisely
because they associate it with
status, so breaking that associa-
tion is key.”
Somewhere between exces-
sive emojis and endless jargon is
a business-casual approach suit-
able for most office interactions
and public-facing communica-
tions.
The Plain Language Action and
Information Network (PLAIN),
a group of federal employees
focused on easy-to-understand
government communication,
says: “Write for your audience. ...
Know the expertise and interest
of your average reader, and write
to that person. Don’t write to
the experts, the lawyers or your
management, unless they are
your intended audience.”
These kind of soft skills may
have been missed by new hires
who spent the last years of their
schooling in largely virtual envi-
ronments. But Burke said it’s
never too late to learn.
“It’s communication etiquette,”
he said.

Biden to run on economy
— but voters seem wary
President to tout positive results, take on polling that shows his support weak
By Josh Boak
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden
is eager to take full political ownership
of the U.S. economy — a reflection of the
White House belief that inflation is fading,
job growth is solid and voters need to know
about it.
But polling has consistently shown the
economy to be a weak spot for Biden’s
reelection hopes. Just 33% approve of his
leadership on the issue, according to a May
survey by The Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs.
For much of his presidency, Biden has
blamed high gasoline prices, painfully
rising food costs and other cost-of-living
expenses on the pandemic and the war in
Ukraine.
He said those two factors were beyond
his control as inflation hit a 40-year high
last summer and crushed his approval
ratings.
In a Chicago speech Wednesday, Biden
will begin a new effort to convince a

A new kind of congregation
In Europe’s empty churches,
prayer and confessions make
way for drinking and dancing
By Raf Casert
Associated Press
MECHELEN, Belgium — The confes-
sionals where generations of Belgians
admitted their sins stood stacked in a
corner of what was once Sacred Heart
Church, proof the stalls — as well as the
Roman Catholic house of worship — had
outlived their purpose.
The building is to close down for two
years while a cafe and concert stage are
added, with plans to turn the church into
“a new cultural hot spot in the heart of
Mechelen,” almost within earshot of where
Belgium’s archbishop lives. Around the
corner, a former Franciscan church is now
a luxury hotel.
Across Europe, churches, convents and
chapels stand empty and increasingly dere-
lict as faith and church attendance shriv-
eled over the past half-century.
Now, ever more of the once-sacred
structures are repurposed for anything
from clothes shops and climbing walls to
Consumer confidence rises to Jan. 2022 high
By Matt Ott
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The American
consumer’s confidence jumped in June to
its highest level in 18 months as a strong
labor market continues to buoy the U.S.
economy.
The Conference Board reported Tuesday
that its consumer confidence index rose to
109.7 in June from 102.5 in May. That’s the
highest the reading has been since January
2022 and much higher than economists had
forecast.
The business research group’s present
situation index — which measures consum-
ers’ assessment of current business and
labor market conditions — rose to 155.3

worried public that the U.S. economy is not
heading for recession but actually thriv-
ing because of his leadership. For him,
there’s a happy confluence of the coming
2024 reelection campaign and a favorable
turn in recent economic data, leading the
White House to believe that public messag-
ing about “Bidenomics” will help to rally
Democratic voters going into next year.
The message is not a new one, though the
White House believes it bears repeating so
that it soaks in.
“It’s a vision about growing the economy
from the middle out and the bottom up —
you hear us say that over and over again,
because we believe that trickle-down
economics does not work,” White House
press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said
Monday’s at a news briefing about the pres-
ident’s upcoming remarks. “We have the
data to prove it.”
Consumer prices rose at an annual
pace of 4% in May, down from 9.1% last
June. That’s still higher than the Federal
Reserve’s 2% target, indicating that infla-
tion remains a challenge. But employers
nightclubs.
It is a phenomenon seen over much
of Europe’s Christian heartland includ-
ing Germany, Italy and other nations. It
really stands out in Flanders, in northern
Belgium, which has some of the greatest
cathedrals on the continent and the finest
art to fill them. If only it had enough faith-
ful. A 2018 study from the PEW research
group showed, in Belgium, that of the 83%
that say they were raised Christian, only
55% still consider themselves so. Only 10%
of Belgians still attended church regularly.
On average, every one of the 300 towns in
Flanders has about six churches and often
not enough faithful to fill a single one. Some
become eyesores in city centers, their main-
tenance a constant drain on finances.
Mechelen, a town of 85,000 just north
of Brussels, is the Roman Catholic center
of Belgium. It has two dozen churches.
Mayor Bart Somers has been working for
years to give many of the buildings a differ-
ent purpose.
“In my city we have a brewery in a
church, we have a hotel in a church, we
have a cultural center in a church, we have
a library in a church. So we have a lot of new
destinations for the churches,” said Somers,
who as Flemish regional minister is also
from 148.9 in May.
The board’s expectations index — a
measure of consumers’ six-month outlook
for income, business and labor conditions —
climbed to 79.3 this month from 71.5 in May.
A reading under 80 often signals a reces-
sion in the coming year. The Conference
Board noted that reading has come in below
80 every month but one since February
2022.
The board said that consumers’ fears of
a recession declined in June, with 69.3%
of respondents saying a recession is some-
what or very likely in the next 12 months,
down from 73.2% in May.
Consumer spending, which makes up
about 70% of U.S. economic activity, has
held up well despite the Federal Reserve
added a robust 339,000 jobs last month in
a sign that the economy appears poised to
keep growing. And the inflation-adjusted
annual increase in what people earn each
hour turned positive in May, one of the
main indicators that White House officials
had been looking at for proof the economy
was helping workers.
Part of Biden’s challenge is that confi-
dence in his economic leadership has
waned. In March 2021 just after his round
of pandemic relief became law, 60% of
U.S. adults approved of how the president
was handling the economy, according to
an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs
poll. Since then, that figure has essentially
halved.
Still, there are signs that people’s views
of the economy are improving. The Univer-
sity of Michigan’s survey of consumer senti-
ment showed that Democrats, Republicans
and unaffiliated voters generally feel better
about the current state of the economy than
they did a year ago. But confidence among
Democrats is still weaker than it was during
Biden’s first year.
involved in repurposing some 350 churches
spread across the densely populated region
of 6.7 million.
A landmark repurposing project in
Belgium was Martin’s Patershof hotel in
Mechelen, where the interior of the church
was gutted to create rooms where the beds
have headboards resembling organ pipes
and a breakfast room next to the altar
where wafers of gold leaf hover overhead.
With its understated luxury, it offers
contemplation, and more.
“In the hotel, people sleep in a church,
maybe have sex in a church. So you could
say: ethically, is it a good idea to have a hotel
in a church? I don’t have so many hesita-
tions,” said Somers. “I am more concerned
about the actual architectural value.”
The design value is especially clear at St.
Anthony of Padua church in Brussels, also
known as Maniak Padoue climbing club
these days.
“The stained glass brings a real shimmer-
ing and warm light to the venue when the
sun goes through it, so we can really feel
the presence of the remains of the church,”
said Kyril Wittouck, the co-founder of the
club. “The altar is still in place, so we are
surrounded by remains and it reminds us
where we actually are.”
raising interest rates in its effort to cool
the economy and bring down persistent,
four-decade high inflation.
At its last meeting, the Fed elected not
to increase its benchmark borrowing rate
after raising it 10 straight times over 15
months.
Last month, the government reported
that consumer spending jumped 0.8% from
March to April, the biggest increase since
January. Much of the increase was driven
by spending on new cars, which soared
6.2%.
The next consumer spending report,
which includes an important measure of
inflation that is monitored closely by the
Federal Reserve, is scheduled to come out
Friday.

EV startup
Lordstown
applies for
bankruptcy
By Michelle Chapman
Associated Press
Commercial electric vehicle startup Lord-
stown Motors Corp. has filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection nearly two months
after it warned that it was in danger of fail-
ing.
In early May, the electronics company
Foxconn wavered on a $170 million invest-
ment in Lordstown. The Ohio company
said in a regulatory filing at the time that it
had received notice from Foxconn on April
21 that it was in breach of their investment
agreement because it had received a delist-
ing warning from Nasdaq two days earlier.
Lordstown said at the time that given the
uncertainties, there was substantial doubt it
could continue as a going concern.
Lordstown was in danger of being delisted
from the Nasdaq because its share price
closed below $1 on March 7 and continued
to falter after that.
Foxconn told Lordstown at the time that
it may unwind their agreement if Lordstown
did not resolve its listing issues. Lordstown
said in May that it had notified Foxconn that,
among other things, it believed the breach
allegations were without merit and that the
terms of the investment agreement didn’t
allow Foxconn to end the deal following the
initial closing.
Lordstown said Tuesday that it was filing
a lawsuit against the technology company
Hon Hai Technology Group and certain affil-
iates, including Foxconn. Lordstown said
the lawsuit “details Foxconn’s fraud and
willful and consistent failure to live up to its
commercial and financial commitments to
the company.” It claims Foxconn’s actions
led to material damage to Lordstown and its
future prospects.
Lordstown said it’s also looking to sell its
Endurance vehicle and related assets.
BUSINESS BRIEFING
Ford again cuts
white-collar jobs
DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor Co. is
going through another round of white-collar
job cuts as the company continues to reduce
costs amid a transition to electric vehicles.
The company confirmed Tuesday that it
has begun to notify several hundred engi-
neers and other salaried employees that their
jobs are being eliminated. The firings come
after around 200 Ford contract employees
were let go last week.
Spokesman T.R. Reid wouldn’t give a
specific number of jobs being cut this week
but said they are not nearly the scale of those
made last summer when the company let go
of 3,000 white-collar workers and another
1,000 contractors largely in the U.S.
Most of the cuts were in engineering, but
all business units will see cuts, Reid said.
Manhattan tolls
OK’d; cost not set
NEW YORK — New York has received
crucial federal approval for its first-in-the-
nation plan to charge big tolls to drive into
the most visited parts of Manhattan, part of
an effort to reduce traffic, improve air qual-
ity and raise funds for the city’s public tran-
sit system.

Lithium paradox in NASA’s

objection to Nev. site’s mine
By Scott Sonner
Associated Press

RENO, Nev. — Envi-

Gov. J.B. Pritzker during a news conference at Chicago Union Station on Monday. Illinois will
run its own Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplace. ANTONIO PEREZ/TRIBUNE
Bills
from Page 1
Each year, insurance
companies selling exchange
plans must make public
certain proposed rate
increases online before
they actually increase
prices. Until now, the Illi-
nois Department of Insur-
ance reviewed the rates and
could try to ask insurance
companies to lower them if
they were too high. But the
department could not actu-
ally say no to price increases.
In some years, Illinois
consumers have faced
double digit price increases
in the monthly premiums of
exchange plans.
On average, prices for the
lowest cost silver-level plans
on the exchange increased
by 11% across the state this
year, according to an Illinois
Department of Insurance
analysis.
“We know that health
care prices and costs are
going up, and this is one
way for the state regulatory
agency to be able to push
back on costs for consumers
and to try to make it more
affordable,” said Stephani
Becker, associate direc-
tor of healthcare justice at
the Chicago-based Shriver
Center on Poverty Law.
The new law could also
help to keep insurance
prices down for small busi-
nesses, said Elliot Rich-
ardson, president and
co-founder of the Small
Business Advocacy Coun-
cil, at the news conference.
It’s a “gut punch” to small
businesses when health
insurance prices increase
each year, he said. “This bill
provides hope that small
business premiums will
stabilize and eventually
come down,” Richardson
said.
The bill did, however,
have a handful of critics,
including the National Asso-
ciation of Mutual Insurance
Companies.
“For decades Illinois
(has) had an open market
in which consumers bene-
fit from insurers compet-
ing,” said Andrew Perkins,
regional vice president
for the Great Lakes region
for National Associa-
tion of Mutual Insurance
Companies, in a statement.
“Although this bill doesn’t
directly impact property
and casualty insurance, we
disagree with the concept
that regulation is a better
way to price products than
the competitive market.”
Under the new law, Illi-
nois regulators will be
able to reject or modify a
proposed rate if they deem
it “excessive, unjustified
or unfairly discrimina-
tory.” They can also reject
rates that are too low that
endanger “the solvency of
an insurer.” In 2016, Illinois
insurance company Land
of Lincoln collapsed, leav-
ing nearly 50,000 Illinois
residents scrambling to
find new insurance midyear.
Land of Lincoln said it set its
prices lower than it other-
wise would have in antic-
ipation of getting certain
payments from the federal
government that never fully
materialized.
With the new law, Illinois
will join 41 other states that

In Railroad Valley, satel-
lite calculations are critical
to gathering information
beamed from space with
widespread applications
from weather forecasting
to national security, agri-
cultural outlooks and natu-
ral disasters, according
to NASA, which said the
satellites “provide vital and
often time-critical informa-
tion touching every aspect
of life on Earth.”
That increasingly in-

Thus the Nevada desert
paradox, critics say. While
lithium is the main ingredi-
ent in batteries for electric
vehicles key to reducing
greenhouse gases, in this
case the metal is buried
beneath land NASA says
must remain undisturbed to
certify the accuracy of satel-
lites monitoring Earth’s
warming atmosphere.
“As our nation becomes
ever more impacted by an
evolving and changing envi-
ronment, it is critical to have
reliable and accurate data
and imagery of our planet,”
said Mark Moneza of Planet
Labs, a San Francisco-based
satellite imaging company.
A Nevada congressman
introduced legislation
earlier this month seek-
ing to revoke the bureau’s
decision. Republican Rep.
Mark Amodei told a House
subcommittee last week
that the decision under-
scores the “hypocrisy”
of President Joe Biden’s
administration.
“It is supposedly a goal
of the Biden Administra-
tion to boost the develop-
ment of renewable energy
technology and reduce
carbon in our atmosphere,”
Amodei said. “Yet they
support blocking a proj-
ect to develop the lithium
necessary for their clean
energy objectives.”

not submitted any formal
project plans in 2021 when
NASA requested the land

claimed to have done ex-

ium resource it said is one
of the 10 largest deposits in

Jan. 6 intelligence widely ignored
Senate report: FBI,
DHS didn’t act as
warnings poured in
By Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
FBI and the Department of
Homeland Security down-
played or ignored “a massive
amount of intelligence infor-
mation” ahead of the Jan. 6,
2021, attack on the U.S Capi-
tol, according to the chair-
man of a Senate panel that
Tuesday released a scathing
report on the intelligence
failures ahead of the insur-
rection.
The report details how
the agencies failed to
recognize and warn of the
potential for violence as
some of then-President
Donald Trump’s supporters
openly planned the siege in
messages and forums online.
Among the multitude of
intelligence that was over-
looked was a December
2020 tip to the FBI that
members of the far-right
extremist group Proud
Boys planned to be in Wash-
ington for the certification
of Joe Biden’s victory and
their “plan is to literally kill
people,” the report said.
The Senate Homeland
Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee said the
agencies were also aware
of many social media posts
that foreshadowed violence,
some calling on Trump’s
supporters to “come armed”
and storm the Capitol, kill
lawmakers or “burn the
place to the ground.”
Michigan Sen. Gary
Peters, the Democratic
chairman of the Homeland
panel, said the breakdown
was “largely a failure of
imagination to see threats
that the Capitol could be
breached as credible,”
echoing the findings of the

his jail cell with a surplus
of bed linens the night he
killed himself. Nearly all
the surveillance cameras on
his unit didn’t record. One
worker was on duty for 24
hours straight. And, despite
his high profile and a suicide
attempt two weeks earlier,
he wasn’t checked on regu-
larly as required.
The Justice Depart-
ment’s watchdog said Tues-
day that a “combination of
negligence, misconduct and
outright job performance
failures” by the federal
Bureau of Prisons and work-
ers at the New York City jail
enabled the wealthy finan-
cier to take his own life in
August 2019, finding no
evidence of foul play.
Inspector General Mi-
chael Horowitz blamed
numerous factors for Ep-
stein’s death, including the
jail’s failure to assign him a

Sept."11 commission about
intelligence failures ahead
of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The report by the panel’s
majority staff says the intel-
ligence community has not
entirely recalibrated to focus
on the threats of domestic,
rather than international,
terrorism. And government
intelligence leaders failed
to sound the alarm “in part
because they could not
conceive that the U.S. Capi-
tol Building would be over-
run by rioters.”
Still, Peters said, the
reasons for dismissing
what he called a “massive”
amount of intelligence
“defies an easy explanation.”
While several other
reports have examined the
intelligence failures around
lar checks. Had the guards
done so, Horowitz said, they
would’ve found Epstein had
excess linens, which he used
in his suicide.
Horowitz’s report comes
nearly four years after
Epstein took his own life at
the Metropolitan Correc-
tional Center in Manhattan
while awaiting trial on sex
trafficking and conspiracy
charges. It also comes weeks
after the AP obtained thou-
sands of pages of records
detailing the wealthy finan-
cier’s detention and death
and its chaotic aftermath.
The failures are deeply
troubling not only because
they allowed Epstein’s
suicide but also because they
“led to questions about the
circumstances surrounding
Epstein’s death and effec-
tively deprived Epstein’s
numerous victims of the
opportunity to seek justice,”
Horowitz said in a video
statement.
Horowitz’s investiga-
tion, the last of several offi-
cial inquiries into Epstein’s
death, echoed previous find-
ings that some members
of the jail staff involved
in guarding Epstein were
overworked. He identified
13 employees with perfor-
mance failures and recom-
mended possible criminal
charges against four work-
and newspaper clippings.
Lashing out at special
counsel Jack Smith as a
“deranged Trump hater,” the
former president accused
federal prosecutors of leak-
ing the damning July 2021
tape to torpedo his presiden-
tial bid.
“(They) ‘spun’ a tape and
transcript of me which is
actually an exoneration,
rather than what they would
have you believe,” Trump
wrote late Monday on his
social media site. He did not
explain how the tape could

san 2021 Senate report, the
House Jan. 6 committee last
year and several separate
internal assessments by the
Capitol Police and other
government agencies — the
latest investigation is the
first congressional report to
focus solely on the actions
of the FBI and the Depart-
ment of Homeland Secu-
rity’s Office of Intelligence
and Analysis.
In the wake of the attack,
Peters said the committee
interviewed officials at both
agencies and found what
was “pretty constant finger
pointing” at each other.
“Everybody should be
accountable because every-
body failed,” Peters said.
Using emails and inter-
ers. Only the two workers
assigned to guard Epstein
the night he died were
charged, avoiding jail time
in a plea deal after admitting
to falsifying logs.
Horowitz’s report also
revealed new details about
Epstein’s behavior in the
days before his death,
including that he signed a
new last will and testament
while meeting with his
lawyers two days before he
was found unresponsive in
his cell the morning of Aug.
10, 2019. Jail officials did not
know about the new will
until after Epstein’s death,
Horowitz said.
Few of the cameras in
the area where Epstein
was housed were record-
ing due to a mechanical
failure July 29. The prison
had contracted for a camera
system upgrade three years
before his death, but it had
not been completed, in part
due to serious staffing short-
ages.
Meanwhile, Epstein was
alone the night of his death,
even though the prison’s
psychology department
had informed 70 employees
that he needed to be with
a cellmate after his previ-
ous suicide attempt in July.
His cellmate was neverthe-
less transferred Aug. 9, with
no action taken to replace
be seen as exculpatory.
In the tape, obtained by
CNN, Trump can be heard
bragging about having a
secret Pentagon plan for
attacking Iran.
He leaves little doubt he is
keen to show off a top secret
document to researchers
working on a memoir of his
former chief of staff Mark
Meadows, telling them it is
damaging to Joint Chiefs
Chairman Mark Milley, with
whom he was feuding.
The special counsel’s in-
dictment alleges that those
views collected by the
Senate committee and
others, including from the
House Jan. 6 panel, the
report lays out in detail the
intelligence the agencies
received in the weeks ahead
of the attack.
There was not a failure to
obtain evidence, the report
says, but the agencies “failed
to fully and accurately assess
the severity of the threat
identified by that intelli-
gence, and formally dissem-
inate guidance to their law
enforcement partners.”
As Trump, a Republican,
falsely claimed he had won
the 2020 election and tried
to overturn his election
defeat, telling his support-
ers to “fight like hell” in a
speech in front of the White

an unmonitored personal
phone call the night before
he was found dead, a viola-
tion of BOP policy.
Horowitz’s report high-
lighted some of the many
problems plaguing the
Bureau of Prisons, many of
which have been exposed
by The Associated Press.
The agency, the Justice
Department’s largest with
more than 30,000 employ-
ees, 158,000 inmates and
an annual budget of about
$8 billion, is plagued by
severe staffing shortages,
staff sexual abuse and crim-
inal conduct, among other
issues.

plan of attack on an unspec-
ified foreign country.
“This totally wins my case
(against Milley), you know?”
Trump says, apparently
showing them the docu-
ment. “Except it is highly
confidential.”
“This was done by the
military and given to me,”
Trump says, adding that the

says. “Now I can’t, you know,

Trump’s apparent show-
ing of documents to other
people at the 2021 meeting
could undercut his claim in
a recent Fox News Channel
interview that he didn’t have
any documents with him.

on Fox. “There was nothing

And at a 10 a.m. briefing
as protesters gathered at
Trump’s speech and near
the Capitol were “wear-
ing ballistic helmets, body
armor, carrying radio equip-
ment and military grade

that there were “no credible
threats at this time.”
The lack of sufficient
warnings meant that law
enforcement were not
adequately prepared and
there was not a hardened
perimeter established
around the Capitol.
The report contains
dozens of tips about violence
on Jan. 6 that the agencies
received and dismissed.
The FBI, for example,
was unexpectedly hindered
in its attempt to find social

contract for its third-party

WAR IN UKRAINE
Ukraine’s pushback slogs forward
Russians put swath
of mines in fields as
copters add defense
By Andrew E. Kramer
and Eric Schmitt
The New York Times
ZAPORIZHZHIA,
Ukraine — The column of
Bradley armored vehicles
rumbled forward, filled with
Ukrainian soldiers, bringing
a new and potent American
weapon to the war’s south-
ern front.
But then one hit a mine.
The explosion blew off one
of the vehicle’s bulldoz-
er-like tracks, immobiliz-
ing it. The entire Ukrainian
column reversed direction,
pulling back.
Three weeks into a coun-
teroffensive crucial to
Ukraine’s prospects against
Russia, its army is encoun-
tering an array of vexing
challenges that complicate
its plans, even as it wields
sophisticated new West-
ern-provided weapons. Not
least is a vast swath of mine-
fields protecting Russia’s
defensive line, forming a
killing field for Ukrainian
troops advancing on the
open steppe of the south.
“Everything is mined,
everywhere,” said Lt. Ashot
Arutiunian, the commander
of a drone unit, who watched
through a drone’s video link
as the mine exploded under
the Bradley and halted the
column’s advance.
Over the weekend, a
mutiny on Russian soil by
mercenary forces raised
hopes in Ukraine that its
army might find the going
a bit easier, even though the
rebellion quickly died out.
But Ukrainians still face
hurdles that differentiate
this campaign from their
swift push through the
Kharkiv region in Septem-
ber and even from the
more arduous offensive
that recaptured Kherson in
November.
The terrain in the south-
east is mostly flat, open

In Kremlin stagecraft, Putin
tries to rewrite mutiny story
By Alan Yuhas
The New York Times
During a mercenary
warlord’s daylong mutiny
against Russia’s military,
Russian President Vladimir
Putin appeared just once,
vowing “decisive actions”
to take on “a betrayal of our
people.”
After the five-minute
address, Putin was out of
sight again, leaving Russians
to wonder about their pres-
ident’s absence amid the
most dramatic challenge to
his rule in 23 years.
But the Kremlin’s image
machine shifted into
action Tuesday, with Putin
suddenly making televised
speeches — an attempt to
rewrite the story about
what happened and assure
the Russian public that he
is still pulling the levers of
power, whether people can
see him or not.
After an angry address
to the nation, delivered at
about 10 p.m. Moscow time
Monday, Putin met with his
Security Council. Seated
nearby — but one seat
removed, so as to be not too
close — was Defense Minis-
ter Sergei Shoigu, whose
feud with the Wagner
mercenary boss, Yevgeny

fields, in contrast to the roll-
ing hills of the Donbas or
the heavily forested north,
depriving Ukraine’s troops
of cover. The Russians have
also been dug in for months
in expansive trench lines,
making uprooting them
more difficult.
In addition, KA-52
Russian attack helicopters
have been able to slip past air
defenses, slowing Ukrainian
movements while damaging
or destroying Western-pro-
vided tanks and armored
fighting vehicles.
And not only are the mine-
fields bigger and more ubiq-
uitous, but Russian troops
have proved adept at replen-
ishing minefields cleared by
Western-supplied equip-
ment, a senior U.S. military
official said.
Ukrainian forces in some
locations along the front
line are pausing to reassess
which breaching and clear-
ing tactics and techniques
are working best, the offi-
cial said.
The fierce resistance has
Prigozhin, led to the mutiny
and a march on Moscow.
Prigozhin had for
months excoriated Shoigu
and Russia’s top general,
Valery Gerasimov, for their
handling of Russia’s inva-
sion of Ukraine, accusing
them of cowardice, corrup-
tion and incompetence.
Prigozhin has also insisted
that his rebellion was only
about them, and not Putin.
That Shoigu was at
Putin’s side at the Security
Council meeting showed
that he remains enough in
the president’s favor to be
seen as a close counselor.
Shoigu still has many crit-
ics, especially among influ-
ential pro-war bloggers, and
whether he will ultimately
keep his job is an open ques-
tion.
On Tuesday, with a red
carpet on towering steps
and dozens of soldiers
arrayed in front of him,
Putin thanked the mili-
tary for having “essen-
tially stopped a civil war”
in remarks seen on state
media.
The speech finally
showed Putin outside of
a nondescript room, and
in an identifiable place:
Cathedral Square in the
Kremlin, the historic seat
taken a toll on Ukraine’s
weaponry. The United
States committed 113 Brad-
ley Fighting Vehicles in
March. At least 17 of them —
more than 15% — have been
damaged or destroyed in
the fighting so far, the offi-
cial said.
These obstacles have
turned the early stages of
the counteroffensive into a
slow and bloody slog, limit-
ing Ukraine’s forces to about
4 miles of territory gained
in their farthest advance so
far. That’s less than half the
distance Ukraine needs to
cross — threatened by mines
and relentless Russian artil-
lery bombardment — to
reach Russia’s main defen-
sive positions.
“They dug in, they mined,
they are ready,” said Yevhen,
a private with a paramilitary
police unit who, like some
other soldiers, insisted on
being identified only by
his first name and rank. “It
is difficult, but there is no
other option.”
Despite the counterof-
of power. Putin has often
used the palatial buildings
and rooms of the Kremlin,
a fortified complex in the
heart of Moscow, to proj-
ect the image of a singular
Russian leader, flanked by
loyal officers and resem-
bling the generations of
czars who ruled from inside
the Kremlin’s walls.
The triumphant imagery
and heroic rhetoric stood
in contrast to the week-
end’s photos and videos in
which it seemed no one was
in charge: Wagner fight-
ers breezing into a major
city with armored vehi-
cles, Prigozhin chatting
with military officers in a
command center he had
just seized.
The message was in
line with years of imag-
ery and language from
Putin, who has for decades
styled himself the protec-
tor of stability. He also said
that Wagner was entirely
financed through the state.
In doing so, Putin essentially
asserted that the mercenary
force was always just a tool
of the Kremlin and never
beyond his control, despite
the fact that Prigozhin’s
fighters took over a major
city in hours and reached
within 125 miles of Moscow.
fensive’s slow progress,
Ukrainian officials say
the main battles to breach
Russian defenses are
ahead, and with the bulk of
Ukraine’s force still kept in
reserve, it is early to gauge
success or failure, they
contend.
Ukrainian President Volo-
dymyr Zelenskyy, conceding
progress has been “slower
than desired,” cautioned
against what he portrayed as
unrealistic expectations of a
cinematic blitzkrieg through
enemy lines.
“Some people believe
this is a Hollywood movie
and expect results now,”
Zelenskyy said in an inter-
view with the BBC this past
week. “What’s at stake is
people’s lives,” he said. “We
will advance on the battle-
field the way we deem best.”
In Washington, officials
in the Biden administration
are publicly urging patience
even as they privately fret
that the initial progress
has been slow. One senior
administration official called
Prigozhin arrives in Belarus,
skirts Russia uprising charge
Associated Press
Yevgeny Prigozhin,
owner of the private army
of prison recruits and other
mercenaries who have
fought some of the deadli-
est battles in Russia’s inva-
sion of Ukraine, escaped
prosecution for his abortive
armed rebellion against the
Kremlin and arrived Tues-
day in Belarus.
The exile of the Wagner
Group owner was part of a
deal that ended the short-
lived mutiny in Russia.
President Alexander
Lukashenko confirmed
Prigozhin, 62, was in
Belarus, and said he and
some of his troops were
welcome to stay “for some
time” at their own expense.
Prigozhin has not been
seen since Saturday, when
he waved to well-wishers
from a vehicle in the south-
ern city of Rostov. He issued
a defiant audio statement
Monday. And on Tues-
day, a private jet believed
to belong to him flew from
Rostov to an air base south-
west of the Belarusian capi-
tal of Minsk, according to
data from FlightRadar24.
Meanwhile, Moscow said
preparations were under-
way for Wagner’s troops
fighting in Ukraine, who
numbered 25,000 accord-
ing to Prigozhin, to hand
over their heavy weapons to
Russia’s military. Prigozhin
had said such moves were
being taken ahead of a July
1 deadline for his fighters to
sign contracts — which he
opposed — with Russia’s
military command.
Russian authorities also
said Tuesday that they have
closed a criminal inves-
tigation into the uprising
and are pressing no armed
rebellion charge against
Prigozhin or his followers.
Still, Russian President
Vladimir Putin appeared
to set the stage for financial
wrongdoing charges against
an affiliated organization
Prigozhin owns. Putin told
a military gathering that
Prigozhin’s Concord Group
earned $941 million from

the results of the first couple
of weeks “sobering,” adding,
“They’re behind schedule.”
The senior U.S. military
official also acknowledged
the slower-than-hoped-for
pace of operations but added
that this was not unexpected
given the extensive Russian
defenses, and cautioned
against drawing any broad
conclusions based on the
initial operations.
Both officials spoke on the
condition of anonymity to
discuss confidential govern-
ment assessments.
Ukraine is seeking to split
Russian-occupied territory
in the south into two zones,
cutting supply lines to the
Crimean Peninsula and
creating a springboard for
further advances. To do so,
it must push south about 60
miles from the former front
line, where Ukraine halted
Russia’s advances in March
2022, to the Sea of Azov.
Russia’s main defenses
lie a dozen miles behind
defended territory. Those
are most difficult to cross.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko helped broker
the deal. BELARUSIAN PRESIDENTIAL PRESS SERVICE

military with food, and that
Wagner had received over
$1 billion in the past year for
wages and additional items.
“I hope that while doing
so they didn’t steal anything,
or stole not so much,” Putin
said, adding that authori-
ties would look closely at
Concord’s contract.
For years, Prigozhin has
enjoyed lucrative catering
contracts with the Russian
government. Police who
searched his St. Petersburg
office Saturday said they
found about $48 million in
trucks outside, according to
media reports the Wagner
boss confirmed. He said the
money was intended to pay
soldiers’ families.
The charge of mount-
ing an armed mutiny could
have been punishable by up
to 20 years in prison. Prigo-
zhin’s escape from prose-
cution is in stark contrast to
Moscow’s usual treatment
of its critics, including those
staging anti-government
protests in Russia, where
many opposition figures
have been punished with
long sentences in penal
colonies.
Lukashenko said some
of the Wagner fighters are
now in the Luhansk region
in eastern Ukraine that
Russia illegally annexed last
September.
Lukashenko, who has
ruled Belarus for 29 years
while relying on Russian
subsidies and support,
portrayed the uprising as
Ukraine’s strategy has
been to probe, striking at
multiple sites to find a weak
point. Russia, preparing for
the attack for months, is
seeking to slow Ukrainian
troops with mines, artillery,
attack helicopters and coun-
terattacks before they can
find a gap and send troops
flowing through.
Success for Ukraine
now hinges on how many
tanks, armored vehicles
and soldiers it can preserve
before reaching the primary
defensive line and in a
battle to break through.
Over the winter, Ukraine
and Western allies trained
and equipped about 40,000
soldiers for the attack.
“How much will they
have left available at that
point?” Michael Kofman,
director of Russia studies at
CNA, a research institute in
Virginia, said in a telephone
interview. “A lot of what we
see so far is inconclusive.”
At two of three points of
attack, south of the town
of Velyka Novosilka and
the city of Zaporizhzhia,
Ukraine has punched
forward bit by bit and
reclaimed eight villages. At
the third, south of the town
of Orikhiv, where the Brad-
ley hit a mine, the assault has
appeared to stall.
Ukraine has advanced
in the two locations where
troops were provided fewer
new Western weapons,
and stalled where the most
sophisticated new weapons
— American Bradleys and
German Leopard 2 tanks —
were deployed.
It’s not clear if that is
because Western weaponry
was intentionally deployed
in areas where there were
stiffer Russian defenses.
Local factors, soldiers
fighting in this area said,
could explain the slower
progress where Western
weapons were deployed.
The nearest villages, useful
for finding abandoned
houses for cover, are farther
from the front line than at
other sites.

the clash between Prigo-
zhin and Russian Defense
Minister Sergei Shoigu.
While the mutiny unfolded,
he said, he put Belarus’
armed forces on a combat
footing and urged Putin not
to be hasty in his response,
lest the conflict spiral out of
control.
He said he told Prigozhin
he would be “squashed like
a bug” if he tried to attack
Moscow, and warned that
the Kremlin would never
agree to his demands.
Like Putin, the Belarusian
leader portrayed the war in
Ukraine as an existential
threat, saying, “If Russia
collapses, we all will perish
under the debris.”
Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov would
not disclose details about
the deal with Prigozhin,
saying only that Putin had
provided “certain guaran-
tees” aimed at avoiding a
“worst-case scenario.”
Asked why the rebels
were allowed to get as close
as 125 miles from Moscow
without facing serious
resistance, National Guard
chief Viktor Zolotov told
reporters, “We concen-
trated our forces in one
fist closer to Moscow. If
we spread them thin, they
would have come like a
knife through butter.”
Zolotov, a former Putin
bodyguard, also said the
National Guard lacks tanks
and other heavy weapons
and now would get them.

ABORTION
Ohio scrambles to do Aug. election
State had rejected
summer votes, but
reversal adds chaos
By Julie Carr Smyth
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A
high-stakes August special
election with national polit-
ical implications is upend-
ing local election offices
across Ohio, as already
stressed election workers
are suddenly faced with a
mountain of logistical chal-
lenges after Republican
lawmakers backtracked on
their own law.
Officials have to lure poll
workers away from vaca-
tions, relocate polling places
booked for weddings, main-
tenance or other events,
and repeatedly retest ballot
language after the state’s
high court found errors.
“It’s disheartening. It’s
exhausting,” said Michelle
Wilcox, a Democrat and
director of elections in
Auglaize County in north-
west Ohio. “When you’re
overworked, haven’t had
breaks, are stressed, things
can happen. These are
the things that lead up to
catastrophes on Election
Day, and to have to do it on
such a short timeline is trou-
bling.”
The tight timeframe was
imposed by Republican
lawmakers, who reversed
a new law that had taken
effect in January to elim-
inate August elections. In
May, they added the Aug.
8 special election for a
measure that seeks to make
it harder to amend the state’s
constitution. If passed, the
amendment would raise the
threshold for passing future
constitutional changes
from a simple majority, as
it has been for more than a
century, to 60%.
Republicans’ immediate
goal is to make it harder for
voters to pass an abortion
rights amendment that is in
the works for November.
Other brewing consti-
tutional amendments also
could be affected, includ-

taped to the front door: “My
last day of seeing patients
is November 18, 2016,” he
wrote. “I recommend that
you begin looking for a new
physician as soon as possi-
ble.”
Griley has since died, and
his deserted clinic is a dusty
snapshot of Guam’s past —
and some say, its future.
Though abortion is legal
in Guam up to 13 weeks
of pregnancy, and later in
certain cases, the last doctor
who performed abortions
left Guam in 2018. The clos-
est abortion clinic on Amer-
ican soil is in Hawaii, an
eight-hour flight away.
And a pending court case
could soon cut off access to
abortion pills, the last way
for most women on Guam
to get legal abortions.
As anti-abortion activists
around the country capital-
ize on momentum from the
overturning of Roe v. Wade,
Guam, a speck of land in the
Pacific, stands out.
Forces on both sides of
the abortion debate say that
the island of 154,000 people
is on track to become the
purest example of what
life would be like under a
near-total ban. More than
a dozen states have banned
most abortions, forcing
women there who seek to
terminate pregnancies to

All of Ohio’s living ex-gov-

tutional change — along
with a sweeping coalition
of labor, faith, voting rights,
civil rights and community

ance of powerful anti-abor-

business groups.
Chris Melody Fields
Figueredo, executive direc-
tor of the Ballot Initiative

ing movement in Repub-
lican-led states to weaken
citizens’ access to direct

national implications.

travel elsewhere, sometimes
at great cost and risk to their
health.
But none is as isolated as
Guam.
“Guam is a litmus test,”
said the territory’s attorney
general, Douglas Moylan,
a Republican who opposes
abortion. “If anti-abor-
tion forces were to succeed
anywhere in the United
States, I would say Guam
would be one of them.”
There are two doctors
who are licensed in Guam
and willing to provide abor-
tions, and both are based in
Hawaii, where they can see
patients through video calls
and prescribe abortion pills.
That could change if the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
reinstates a territorial law
that would require women
to see a doctor in person to
obtain pills.
A streak of anti-abortion
sentiment runs through
Guam, and there are other
attempts to further restrict
the procedure. Moylan is
“What happens in Ohio,
win or lose, will have an
impact moving forward and
have a reverberating effect
across the country because
it’s stuck between two major
election years, and it’s a
special election,” she said.
“It will set the tone for how
we go into 2024 legislative
sessions, what tactics, what
nuances state legislatures
may do to try and under-
mine the will of the people,
and impact the ability of citi-
zens to bring issues to the
ballot.”
Despite the significance,
August’s Issue 1 could be
decided by a fraction of Ohio
voters. Turnout predictions
diverge wildly.
Republican Joe Kuhn,
a member of the Auglaize
County Board of Elections,
said the question should
go before voters in a regu-
lar general election when
fighting in federal court to
try to revive a 1990 law that
banned nearly all abortions
but was blocked by a federal
judge. In the meantime, the
Legislature passed a bill last
year that would prohibit
most abortions after six
weeks of pregnancy. It was
vetoed by Gov. Lou Leon
Guerrero, a Democrat, a
nurse and the island’s first
female governor.
She recalled that as a
student in California before
the Roe v. Wade decision, she
cared for women who were
“hemorrhaging because
either they self-aborted or
they went to underground
abortion clinics, and they
didn’t do it right.”
As the head of the Guam
Nurses Association, Leon
Guerrero testified in oppo-
sition to the 1990 ban,
which would have made it a
crime to perform, undergo
or seek an abortion, except
in some medical emer-
gencies, or to encourage
women to have abortions. A
history suggests turnout
would be greater.
“This goes well beyond
the abortion-reproductive
rights issue that’s going to
hit in November. This affects
every other issue that would
touch the Ohio Constitution.
The law’s been in place since
1912,” he said.
Military and overseas
voting began Friday, and
voter registration closes
July 10. Early voting begins
the next day.
Chronically low turnouts
were among the reasons
Ohio nixed August elections
in the first place. Republi-
can Secretary of State Frank
LaRose testified at the
time that they were bad for
taxpayers, election officials
and the civic health of the
state, largely because few
people show up.
“That means just a hand-
ful of voters end up making
federal court ruled that the
law was unconstitutional
and blocked the territorial
government from enforc-
ing it, but it remains on the
books.
“Everything that’s going
around impacts Guam, and
our women here, because
we’re much more isolated
in terms of access to health
care,” the governor said.
The Guam law that
requires women seeking an
abortion to receive govern-
ment-mandated informa-
tion from a doctor — and
only in person — has been
blocked by a court order
while a legal challenge
proceeds. The two Hawaii-
based doctors argue in their
lawsuit that if the injunction
is lifted, it would become
practically impossible for
them to assist women on
Guam through telemedi-
cine.
Advocates of abortion
rights fear what will happen
on Guam — which has high
rates of sexual assault and
big decisions. The side that
wins is often the one that
has a vested interest in the
passage of the issue up for
consideration,” he told sena-
tors last year. “This isn’t how
democracy is supposed to
work.”
A group of Republi-
can lawmakers refused
to reverse course on the
issue, as LaRose since has,
preventing passage of a bill
that would have reinstated
an August election one time
and provide $20 million to
run it.
Legislative leaders
decided the bill wasn’t
needed, tucking the special
election date into the reso-
lution that sent Issue 1 to the
ballot without the money
to pay for it. One Person
One Vote, the opposition
campaign, challenged the
move as illegal but lost.
The money has been
maternal mortality — if
access to abortion pills is
effectively blocked. The
lawsuit filed by the Hawaii
doctors, for instance, argues
that women on Guam would
face heightened medi-
cal risks, as well as daunt-
ing financial and logistical
burdens.
According to census data,
the median annual house-
hold income, excluding mili-
tary families, was $58,000
in 2019, or about 20% below
the national average.
Famalao’an Rights,
a reproductive rights
nonprofit founded in 2019,
stepped up its organizing
in 2022 when the proposed
six-week ban was gain-
ing traction. A legislative
committee’s 2,200-page
report on the bill crackled
with anguished emails and
handwritten letters from the
public, mostly opposing the
ban.
Then came the Dobbs
decision and its aftermath.
“It just felt like we were at
included in the state budget
bill, but Wilcox, the Auglaize
election director, said the
absence of available money
has created another set
of time-consuming tasks
for election boards. That
includes clearing expenses
with county commissioners
that would normally be part
of their annual budgets and
filing tedious reimburse-
ment paperwork.
In addition, she said,
contracts with polling
places didn’t include the
August election date. That
means postcards will have
to go out telling voters of
the relocations, then again
in the fall reminding them
to return to where they
normally vote.
To attract people who
might be planning August
vacations, Franklin County
voted to increase pay for its

to the finish line, and then
the finish line moved,” said
Kiana Joy Yabut, a leader in
the group.
The Dobbs decision was
demoralizing for the activ-
ists, who are bracing for
more anti-abortion bills and
preparing to help women
obtain abortions, even if it
means breaking the law.
“I would gladly go to jail,”
Yabut said.
Women on Guam said
they have already been deal-
ing with the difficulty and
stigma of abortion for years.
Happy Tingson was
working as a hotel house-
keeper in 2015 when she
became pregnant. She told
only two people: her best
friend, Rhea Patino, and her
boyfriend at the time.
“Not a single smile on his
face,” said Tingson, who was
comforted by Patino and
another friend when she
became emotional during
an interview at her sister’s
house. “He was pretty much
saying, ‘It’s not the right time
for us to have it, we’re not
financially stable,’ ” Tingson
said.
Patino drove Tingson
to the Pregnancy Control
Clinic, which has since
closed, to receive the proce-
dure, which cost $500 in
2015. “When I finally got it
done, I felt kind of broken,”
Tingson said.
She never told her
parents, who are now dead,
she said. She still hasn’t told
her older brother.
Asked if any of her friends
had also undergone an abor-
tion, Patino interrupted:
“Me.”
When Patino, a server,
became pregnant in 2020,
she and her boyfriend at the
time agreed they could not
afford to raise a child.
“I felt helpless,” she said.
“Try talking to a doctor, and
they’re like, ‘I’m sorry, we
don’t support that.’ ”
Patino, who by then was
seven weeks pregnant,
decided the most reliable
option was to fly to Florida.
Planned Parenthood waived
its $500 fee for her.

NEWS BRIEFING
Appeals court in NY
sheds Ivanka Trump
from fraud lawsuit
From news services
NEW YORK — An appeals
court dismissed Ivanka
Trump on Tuesday from
a fraud lawsuit brought
against her father and his
company last year by the
state’s attorney general.
The civil lawsuit, brought
by New York Attorney
General Letitia James,
accused former President
Donald Trump of padding
his net worth by billions
of dollars and misleading
banks, insurance companies
and others about the value
of his assets, including golf
courses and the Mar-a-Lago
estate. It named his three
eldest children — Ivanka,
Donald Jr. and Eric Trump
— as defendants, along with
multiple Trump Organiza-
tion executives.
In a ruling Tuesday, the
Appellate Division of New
York’s Supreme Court
dismissed the claims against
Ivanka Trump, ruling that
they were barred by the
state’s statute of limitations.
While claims over alleged
wrongdoing after February
2016 were permissible, the
court said, Ivanka Trump
had stepped back from
involvement in the Trump
Organization and wasn’t
accused in the lawsuit of any
misconduct during that later
time period.
The panel left it to a
lower-court judge to deter-
mine whether other parts
of the lawsuit would also be
barred by the state’s statute
of limitations.
A representative for
Ivanka Trump did not
immediately respond to a
request for comment. James’
office said in a statement
that it planned to continue
to pursue the case.
The lawsuit is the result
of a three-year investigation
into Trump and his business
by James, a Democrat.
It details dozens of
instances of alleged fraud,
many involving claims made

on annual financial state-
ments that Trump would
give to banks, business asso-
ciates and financial maga-
zines as proof of his riches
as he sought loans and deals.
Trump has dismissed the
investigation as a “politically
motivated Witch Hunt.”
The Attorney’s General
Office is seeking a financial
penalty of $250 million, as
well as a ban on Trump and
his family from doing busi-
ness in New York. The case
is set to go to trial in October.
Georgia elections chief:
Georgia Secretary of State
Brad Raffensperger is sched-
uled to speak to federal pros-
ecutors from the office of
special counsel Jack Smith,
who is investigating efforts
by former President Donald
Trump and his allies to over-
turn his 2020 election loss.
In a phone call Jan. 2,
2021, Trump suggested
Raffensperger, the top elec-
tions official in Georgia,
could help “find” the votes
necessary to reverse Demo-
crat Joe Biden’s narrow
presidential election win
in the state. The call came
after Trump and his allies
spent weeks insisting with-
out evidence that wide-
spread election fraud was
the cause of his loss in Geor-
gia and publicly berating
Raffensperger for failing to
take steps to reverse it.
The secretary of state’s
office Tuesday confirmed
that he would speak to
special counsel Jack Smith’s
prosecutors Wednesday in
Atlanta.
Efforts by Trump and his
allies to overturn his loss in
Georgia are also the subject
of a separate investigation
by Fulton County District
Attorney Fani Willis in
Atlanta. Raffensperger testi-
fied before a special grand
jury in that case last June.

REVIEW ‘ROCK HUDSON: ALL THAT HEAVEN

ALLOWED’ ★★★

The double life of

a Hollywood star
By Nina Metz
Chicago Tribune
A documentary about one of
Hollywood’s biggest stars of the
20th century, “Rock Hudson: All
That Heaven Allowed” (riffing
on the title of Hudson’s 1955 film
“All That Heaven Allows”) is the
portrait of a boy from Winnetka
— a New Trier alum and self-de-
scribed “Midwestern hick” —
who found fame and fortune on
screen. But he lived a double life,
which he kept under wraps until
his fatal AIDS diagnosis in the
’80s.
There was his heterosex-
ual public image — of brawny
style and wit, a 6-foot-4 leading
man who could switch easily
from adventure films to Doug-

to romantic comedies opposite
Doris Day in the ’60s, to the TV
police procedural “McMillan &
Wife” in the ’70s and the night-
time soap “Dynasty” in the ‘’80s.
His closeted private life was an
open secret in Hollywood, if not
to his wider audience. He was
gregarious and charming and had
an abundance of sexual flings and
a close circle of friends, but no
long-term romantic relationships.

Summer Smash opening was epic day of hip-hop
By M.T. Richards
For the Chicago Tribune
Mother Nature is a
cruel mistress. Because
they exist at the mercy of
nature, outdoor music festi-
vals sometimes go epically
wrong. Nevertheless in
2018, the fashion-forward
Chicago hip-hop conglom-
erate Lyrical Lemonade
gambled on live music. And
it paid off. Summer Smash,
the hip-hop bonanza
co-founded by Lyrical
Lemonade and SPKRBX,
has been going strong for
a half-decade. This year’s
festival takes place over
three days across three
main stages — not in Doug-
lass Park on the West Side
as in past years, but at Seat-
Geek Stadium in south-
west suburban Bridgeview,
home of the Chicago Fire.
Where there’s fire,
there’s smoke (but no Ice
Spice; she backed out of the
festival a day before show-
time). On Friday, thousands
of revelers — most of them
young, many of them male,
bare-chested and back-
packed — convened for Day
One of Summer Smash. It
had to have ranked among
the weediest affairs in
living memory. The festival
grounds are long — Seat-
Geek Stadium sits on about
60 acres — but no matter
where a person roamed on
Friday night, the stench of
cannabis followed. Some
festivalgoers were hot to
trot; we would not have
expected to encounter
twerking at, of all places,
a calm and cerebral Vince
Staples set.
Either way most of the
attendees went about their
business peacefully. A
heavy-lidded young man in
dreadlocks inquired about

“Do you (handwrite) your
articles or type them out?”
he asked in a guileless
drawl.

razzmatazz to satiate this
reporter’s inner child.

Adult child stressed out caring for ill mom
Dear Amy: I’m halfway
through a two-week visit
with my 89-year-old mom,
and my stress level is
through the roof.
On the one hand, I know
that her life isn’t easy due
to numerous health issues,
including memory and
vision loss — plus the death
of my dad just over a year
ago. On the other hand —
and my siblings would all
agree — she makes every-
thing so much harder than
it has to be, for herself and
for everyone around her.
The criticisms,
complaints, put-downs
and need to control every-
thing make it so hard to
find the patience I should
have. It doesn’t take very
long when trying to do
anything with her before
I’m frustrated at the way
she treats me and what I’m
being put through while
trying to help her.
And I hate myself for
it. I can hear the whine of
an unhappy child in the
grumbling of the adult
I’m supposed to be, and
by nightfall it’s not just
one day’s worth of issues
I’m trying to let go of, but
decades of conflict, misun-
derstandings and bad
behavior on both our parts.
She’s 89. She’s sick. She’s
alone. She’s my mom. Why
can’t I be more tolerant?
— Intolerant Caregiver
Dear Intolerant: The
reason you can’t be more
tolerant when provid-
ing care to your mother
is because providing care
for an ill and challenging
parent is a huge and heart-
breaking experience.
This is one reason that
professional caregivers
are worth their weight in
gold. Caregivers outside
the family are not triggered

val closer Kid Cudi was
mixed. Some, including a

seemed to rue their invest-
ment in Cudi; they came
for the epochal oldies, not
his more recent material.

Dear Amy: I am a single
woman in my mid-30s. I’ve
grown sad and frustrated
with not being able to find
a relationship, despite
going on dates. I’m sad
not to have a husband and
family at this point, both of
which I very much want.
However, I am trying hard
to make the best of my life.
My problem is this:
I often contend with
remarks from married or
engaged co-workers along
the lines of I am “able to do
more with work” because I
“don’t have to get home for
anyone” and I’m “lucky to
live alone.”
One co-worker
complained to me about a
minor issue with wedding
planning and burst out, “Be
grateful you’re not getting
married!” while another
randomly advised that
if I choose to pursue my
profession, I “shouldn’t get
married or have kids.”
These are remarks from
men and women. I am hurt
by these comments and
sometimes I become angry.
How can I respond

Dear Don’t Know: I agree
that these comments,
while likely tossed off
without thinking, are inap-
propriate in the work-
place. You could rehearse a
version of, “I think it would
be great at work if we
didn’t voice our assump-
tions about each other’s
personal lives.”
Dear Amy: Responding to
“Terminated,” I was also
tempted to flame a former
boss who harassed me out
of a great corporate job.
I cooperated with HR
with a candid exit inter-
view, but left it at that.
Some six years later, I had
another excellent corpo-
rate position, and the
former boss’s name came
up at a meeting. I was less
than flattering in response.
Later my CEO took me
aside and said, “I know
Mr. X was very difficult to
work for, but you should
know that when it came
down to hiring you or the
other finalist, it was his
glowing recommendation
that got you the job.”

as a reference, but the

Triplets steal show in Anderson’s latest movie
Faris girls thrilled
to meet co-stars in
film ‘Asteroid City’
By Peter Larsen
The Orange County Register
Ella, Gracie and Willan Faris
landed in Spain two years ago to
make their feature film debuts
in Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid
City,” and like any first-timers,
they were excited to meet their
co-stars.
Woody from the “Toy Story”
franchise. Gru in the “Despicable
Me” movies. And Marvel’s Black
Widow, even though the triplets
haven’t seen any of her superhero
flicks yet.
“Dad doesn’t let us,” explained
Ella Faris, who, like her sisters,
turned 8 years old in June.
These co-stars were, to be clear,
Tom Hanks, Steve Carrell, and
Scarlett Johansson, respectively.
Not too bad for a debut film.
In “Asteroid City,” Ella, Gracie
and Willan Faris often appear
with the typically Wes Ander-
son deadpan mien. At home in
Orange, California, they were
anything but as they chattered
away about “Mr. Wes” and “Mr.
Tom,” as well as Jason Schwartz-
man, who plays their father in the
film, and Jake Ryan, who plays
their older brother.
“He’s our friend; we made
friends with him,” Ella Faris says
of Ryan, now 19, who was about
the triplets’ age when he made his
Anderson debut in 2012’s “Moon-
rise Kingdom.”
“We played ‘Super Smash Bros.’
with him in the cabin,” Gracie
adds.
“Asteroid City” is a quintes-
sential Anderson film, packed
with most of his usual troupe of
actors. In addition to Schwartz-
man, Anderson regulars such as
Adrien Brody, Edward Norton,
Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Jeff
Goldblum and Tony Revolori are
in the cast.
Many of them — as well as
other stars including Bryan Cran-
ston, Jeffrey Wright, Margot
Robbie, Hope Davis and Matt
Dillon — have already done
publicity for “Asteroid City.”
The Orange County Register,
however, arranged its own junket
with the Faris triplets, arriving
‘Tommy’
from Page 10
Korins clearly decided he was
tired of more corporatized assign-
ments, always a busy designer’s
lot, and to just go for it.
He appears to have set about
the business of showing the audi-
ence the inside of Tommy’s mind,
and, boy does he, whether that’s
the shattering of a mirror, manu-
facture of an idol or unwinding of
pain seen and felt by a single boy,
representative of all who suffered
so deeply from parental silence it
took their own voice.
Korins figured out how to have
no cumbersome visual baseline,
preferring a kind of non-sentient
black from which his staccato,
often skeletal images can, and
then do, explode like rockets. And
they do so on surfaces, and in
dimensions, that you don’t know
exist. Until they do.
The new “Tommy” is a visu-
ally and sonically overwhelming
show, but in the positive sense of
that word; its spectacle is miti-
gated by a startlingly accurate
sense of its milieu. In the original
Hudson
from Page 10
maintaining a straight image
made that too difficult. But either
way, Hudson’s wealth, and his
agent Henry Willson, were key to
keeping all of this under wraps.
When the tabloid Confidential
threatened to do a piece exposing
Hudson’s homosexuality, Will-
son offered up Tab Hunter, who
was one of his other clients, as a
sacrificial lamb instead. The film
doesn’t delve into how Hudson
might have felt about that, if he
felt anything at all.
Willson was a less-than-ethical
operator. He is described in the
film as the equivalent of a woman-
izer — a “manizer” — and it was
understood that his male clients
would sleep with him as part of
the bargain. What Hudson made
of that arrangement is left unex-
plored, but there are hints that he
may have had an opportunistic
streak, at least early in his career,
dumping an earlier paramour and
manager who was Hudson’s first
real friend in Los Angeles in favor
of whatever career gains Willson
could provide.
Even so, “People loved him.
He was just a decent, wonderful
guy. And that’s unusual in Holly-
wood,” someone says in director

at their home where the young
actors were coloring at a table
when we arrived.
After a snack of milk and potato
chips, we got down to business,
and asked Ella, Gracie and Willan
how they landed the roles of
Andromeda, Pandora and Cassi-
opeia Steinbeck, daughters of the
recently widowed photographer
Augie Steinbeck.
As the Faris girls tell it, it
sounds easy to get a part in a Wes
Anderson movie.
“You audition!” Gracie Faris
says. “And then you have some
other kids, and they audition. And
then we said, ‘Can we do it again?’
And then we got it.”
Willan Faris explains further:
“The point is to get an audition. If
you audition for it, and then they
think you’re perfect for it, and you
get it.”
Did they know much about the
story or their characters going
into the audition?
“We knew that our (characters’)
mom died, and we were trying to
get her back,” Gracie Faris says.
For the Faris family, acting has
been part of family life almost
since the triplets were born.
Chris Faris works as a marriage
and family therapist, though local
music fans once knew him as a
founder of the indie rock band
Devious Means. Colleen Faris
worked as a junior high teacher
staging, which I well remember,
the images of provincial British
life felt less rooted, less actualized
and less authentic, even as the
show traverses the war years to
the 1980s and yet beyond.
This time the requisite styl-
ization still is there but with a far
better sense of everyday life.
Had this palette been off, this
new take on “Tommy” would
have hit the rocks because the
visuals are so dominant. But it all
works because it’s all in service
of the emotional stakes that Pete
Townshend (along with John
Entwistle and Keith Moon) built
into their prescient master-
piece of a rock opera, a piece that
became famous in multiple media
because it maintained its cool
rocker sheen and remove while
also breaking apart the repressive
aspects of its era — and telling the
British it was OK to put down that
anesthetizing pint and feel.
To put that another way,
“Tommy” was turntable therapy
while also offering the afflicted
some necessary cover. And the
times have changed less than you
think.
McAnuff’s work really is
Stephen Kijak’s film.
But there’s another quotation
that’s even more revealing: “He
was a great performer, not only in
acting but in life.”
That presents a number of
challenges for Kijak (whose
credits include documentaries
about Judy Garland and Lynyrd
Skynyrd) because Hudson
didn’t give probing interviews
during his lifetime. Kijak talks
to a number of old friends and
lovers and they “form a really
neat, compact arc that will bring
you from the pre-Stonewall era
before gay liberation to the other
side of the AIDS crisis,” he said
in a recent interview. But the
film struggles to capture what
Hudson’s personality was like
in private. Nor does it talk about
his drinking, which reportedly
became an issue later in life.
But it’s a terrific portrait of
how Hollywood once functioned
— and the artifice of it all. “I was
under contract with Universal
Pictures and I was with them for
17, 18 years,” Hudson says in an
archival interview. “Universal
in those days was a wonderful
studio. They took care of every-
thing for the actor: The house
you live in, the shopping, your
meals cooked, it was all done for
you so that the only thing you had
to be concerned about was your
until the girls were born. Infant
and child twins and triplets are
valued assets in film and televi-
sion, and the idea of introducing
them to acting arose after Colleen
decided to stay home with the
kids.
By the time they were 6 months
old, the girls had made their debut
in a public service television ad for
the Bill Gates Foundation. Before
they were a year old they’d been
cast as babies in TV series such as
“This Is Us” and “Superstore.”
When they were a year and
half, Ella and Gracie, who, unlike
Willan, are identical twins, were
cast on “Grey’s Anatomy” to
double as Little Ellis, the daugh-
ter of Meredith Grey, the charac-
ter played by Ellen Pompeo. It’s
a role they’ve played in nearly 30
episodes in the seven years since.
“What’s nice is during a typical
year, it’s maybe four to eight weeks
throughout the year where there’s
a couple of days in the week for
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ or an audition,”
Chris Faris says. “It has an impact
on our lives, of course. But it’s been
fairly well-integrated.”
The girls attend public school,
and several of their teachers were
among the crowd at a friends and
family movie premiere in Santa
Ana, California. Colleen Faris
coaches their softball team, and
she and her husband try to keep
Gracie, Ella and Willan involved
something. This new production
argues for the wisdom of having
original directors redo their work,
in this case both co-authorial and
directorial, some 30 years later;
they know the piece and don’t
have to waste time in its compre-
hension or in some kind of
“response.” This particular direc-
tor has done all kinds of other
work on Broadway, most with
equal spectacle but less psycho-
logical weight, but it’s pretty obvi-
ous this show remains at the core
of what he feels he brings. His
new approach is all about feeling,
and that of course is the only way
through Tommy’s door.
That said, no one wants to see a
“Tommy” where actors don’t sing
their faces off, and from Ali Louis
Bourzgui, who plays the title
role with a fascinating quizzical
authority, to Christina Sajous,
who wails her way through the
Acid Queen, they most certainly
do. There’s also remarkable
work from Adam Jacobs (previ-
ously “Aladdin”) as Tommy’s
dad. Jacobs, doing something
far different from anything I’ve
seen him do before, manifests an
uptight physical rigidity that is
performance.”
In the early ’50s, he shared a
home with fellow actor Robert
Preble, and the pair were
featured in the magazine Photo-
play. Through today’s lens, the
accompanying images read as
hiding in plain sight, particularly
one in which they are shirtless,
posing by a convertible in jeans,
their muscles flexing. Hudson is
kneeling and polishing the fender
while Preble leans under the car’s
hood. They were roommates, the
story claimed. Just two bachelors
looking to save a buck on rent.
But soon enough, Hudson’s
marriageability became too
conspicuous to ignore and a
wedding to his agent’s secretary
was hastily arranged in 1955. The
marriage didn’t last, but it served
its purpose.
The documentary is at its stron-
gest when it considers Hudson
juxtaposed with the eras he lived
through. He had a fairly unencum-
bered life — his house in Beverly
Hills was dubbed “The Castle”
and it was the frequent site for
gatherings, away from prying eyes
and cameras — only to see all that
shatter when his fellow political
conservatives, including one-time
friend Nancy Reagan, all but aban-
doned him in his hour of need.
“Tales of the City” author
Armistead Maupin was among
in activities with other children,
whether that’s soccer or dance or
art classes.
Mr. Wes, as the girls call their
“Asteroid City” director, was kind
and helpful during the shoot, the
girls say.
“Before we did it, he said, ‘You
know how actors work,’#” Willan
Faris says, explaining how Ander-
son told them to focus on their
characters’ motivations. “#‘So you
have to think in your head what
you want them to do, and then
spread it out to the world.’#”
A favorite scene that all three
remembered with great excite-
ment was an outdoor meal during
which they were in the back-
ground between Schwartzman
and Johansson.
“We got to eat real ice cream,”
Gracie Faris says.
“And usually it’s pretend food,
but I also had chili in one of the
last scenes. Willan had a hot dog.
Gracie had a hot dog —”
“ — with mustard,” Gracie adds.
“And we all got lemonade and
chips,” Ella Faris finishes.
Later, Chris and Colleen Faris
give the back story to the hot dog
scene, which didn’t make the final
edit.
“They’re in the background
of the scene while Jason and
Scarlett are talking,” Chris Faris
says. “This is the most hilarious
thing because it’s kind of a more
actually very moving, especially
at the ending, when the theatri-
cal version offers a more explicit
intergenerational reconciliation
than anyone heard in 1969.
But then the rest of the cast,
which includes Alison Luff as
Mrs. Walker, John Ambrosino
as a tortured Uncle Ernie
(Ambrosino has a show all of his
own) and Bobby Conte as the
kind of Cousin Kevin I knew as
a kid (and not to my benefit), is
excellent. And the show exits
with a great wall of ensemble
sound on “Listening to You,”
functioning both as a generational
catharsis and a reminder of why
The Who, and especially Town-
shend’s music, still can command
arenas, even if opera companies
weren’t listening to a 20th-cen-
tury opera hiding in plain sight.
This production feels more
finished than any tryout here in
recent memory. But if I had to
note something to improve, it
would be that more work could
be done later in Act 2 to better
frame the moment, post-Sally
Simpson, when Tommy switches
tactics and disengages his own
centrality; that’s not yet clear here
Hudson’s inner circle and he talks
about a conversation they had in
the ’70s, when he urged Hudson
to come out of the closet. Appar-
ently, Hudson considered it but
never followed through. It’s a
tantalizing “what if?” Later, it
was Maupin who would confirm
publicly that Hudson was gay:
“People had to learn how to
behave like adults about this
subject,” is how he puts it.
Hudson became sick just as
the AIDS crisis was worsen-
ing. “All we did was go to funer-
als and fundraisers,” one of his
friends says. Hudson sought
treatment in Paris, where his
diagnosis was kept secret, until
it wasn’t. His publicist made the
announcement — how involved
was Hudson in that decision?
It’s unclear — and he became the
most famous person at the time
to publicly confirm his AIDS
diagnosis. What followed was
deplorable treatment; the hospi-
tal in France wanted him out and
no airline would fly him back to
the States, leaving his publicist to
charter a 747 to get him home.
He died not long after in Octo-
ber 1985. Less than a year later,
Roger Ebert would interview
Sara Davidson, author of “Rock
Hudson: His Story.” He begins
with a blunt statement: “If Rock
Hudson had collapsed in Los
emotionally heavy scene.
“And then you hear Ella or
Gracie in the background going,
‘Mr. Wes! We need more mustard!
Is there any more chips? Gracie
ate her hot dog — you have more
hot dogs?’#”
The crew all broke up with
laughter, Colleen Faris says.
“No one talks to him like that,”
she says of Anderson.
The girls talk on, flashes of
memories erupting into new
stories. During one scene they got
to beat up a broken-down car.
“Gracie was throwing glitter
at a car,” Ella Faris says. “Willan
was throwing a rock at the same
car. I was banging the car with a
hammer.”
They got to jump on Hanks
and mock-fight him. Their on-set
studio teacher taught them to
flamenco dance, which they
demonstrated.
It was, all five of the Farises
agree, a wonderful adventure, a
memory that mattered even more
than the movie they made.
“I’ve loved Wes Anderson since
I saw his movies,” Chris Faris
says. “To them, he’s just this lanky
Mr. Wes guy, you know, and he’s
the director of me. Like there’s
no concept of our adult world for
them.
“And that’s exactly as it should
be because it’s even more pure
when they’re there on set.”
(also true of the ’93 version) and it
creates a narrative stutter in what
is otherwise a master class in
wordless storytelling at a break-
neck pace. That’s the section that
needs the creatives’ focus.
“Tommy,” Townshend has said,
always was intended to be a hope-
ful work and that’s true, although
when you view this show in 2023
rather than 1993 the long-term
conduct of the first rock gener-
ation and the polarizing legacy
they have left us certainly flies
into your head.
They (I guess we, given my
place on the cusp) didn’t expunge
the sins of their parents so much
as act them out. But for anyone
who likes to use “OK, boomer”
as a cheap pejorative, “Tommy”
at least is back to explain some of
the whys and wherefores.

Angeles instead of in a Paris
hospital, he would have died
with all of his secrets still intact.”
That was how Hudson wanted
it, according to Davidson, who
said he feared the truth “would
destroy the image he had care-
fully built up over 35 years.”
The film doesn’t grapple with
this complexity, of Hudson’s feel-
ings about his carefully mani-
cured public image and his state
of mind when his health turned
cataclysmic. The film also makes
no mention of a lawsuit one of his
former lovers filed after his death.
It was Elizabeth Taylor and
Doris Day who publicly stood by
him in the end. There’s a touching
anecdote from another Hudson
biographer, Mark Griffin, that’s
not in the film but worthwhile
all the same. At home, during
the star’s final days, “everyone
was maintaining a very polite
distance,” Griffin told CBS. “And
Taylor, quite admirably, said,
‘Well, this is ridiculous.’ And she
crawled into bed with him and
cuddled with him and hugged
him.”

CEO reassuring Hollywood Crossword

film lovers after TCM layoffs
By Stephen Battaglio
Los Angeles Times

Warner Bros. Discovery

has been making significant
personnel cuts throughout
the media company to help
reduce its debt.
But there is one division
where layoffs can prompt
Hollywood types to charge
down Warner Boulevard in
Burbank, California, with
metaphorical pitchforks
and torches — the cable
channel Turner Classic
Movies.
David Zaslav, chief
executive of Warner Bros.
Discovery, is learning as
much as he faces blow-
back over changes at TCM,
which curates and shows
uncut, ad-free pre-1980s
films that provide viewers
a portal into Hollywood
history. Its loyal viewers
include some of the top
directors in the business
— Steven Spielberg, Paul
Thomas Anderson, Martin
Scorsese and Francis Ford
Coppola, among them.
Their alarms sounded
recently when company-
wide layoffs wiped out the
entire tier of top manage-
ment at the channel,
including Charles Tabesh,
the longtime senior execu-
tive in charge of program-
ming.
Veteran general manager
Pola Changnon is also leav-
ing, along with the execu-
tives overseeing marketing,
strategic partnerships and
studio production. The
network is being added to
the portfolio of Michael
Ouweleen, who over-
sees Adult Swim, Cartoon
Network, Discovery Family
and Boomerang.
“Michael shares our
passion for classic films
and believes strongly in
TCM’s essential role in
preserving and spotlighting
iconic movies for the next
generation of cinephiles,”
Kathleen Finch, chairman
and chief content officer of
Warner Bros. Discovery’s
networks, wrote in a note
to staff.

Who’s next for the Hawks after their first pick? 10 prospects to target in the 1st and 2nd rounds of draft
By Phil Thompson
Chicago Tribune
It hasn’t happened often in Dan
Marr’s 33 years in scouting, but
the 2006 NHL draft pretty much
followed the script.
Marr was the amateur scouting
director for the Atlanta Thrashers,
who were picking at No. 12, and
“I told our GM (Don Waddell) if

MLB opts to play despite
‘very unhealthy’ air alert
The Cubs have played in
worse-looking conditions at
Wrigley Field than Tuesday
night’s 5-1 loss to the Philadel-
phia Phillies.
Few can forget the Cubs game
against the Atlanta Braves in
April 2018 when the wild chill
was 25 degrees and players
were drenched from the howl-
ing rain and a hawk wind in
their face the entire afternoon.
The Braves blew an eight-run,
eighth-inning lead, and cried
about the conditions afterward.
“If we all don’t come out of
here with pneumonia I think
we’ll be alright,” Braves reliever
Luke Jackson said.
Chicago’s best sports section, as judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors
just see the air go out of the Maple
Leafs because they had the same
thing,” said Marr, who has been
director of NHL Central Scouting
since 2011.
The Chicago Blackhawks won’t
have that problem.
They have the first pick Wednes-
day, giving them the right to select
consensus No. 1 prospect Connor
Bedard. But they also have a second
first-round pick, No. 19 from the
Tampa Bay Lightning, that could
yield what would be top-10 value
in other drafts.
“I’m pretty sure the Blackhawks
are going to have a very, very good
first day at the draft,” Marr said.
And on Day 2, the Hawks have

four second-round picks, includ-
ing No. 35, No. 44 (from the Ottawa
Senators) and No. 51 (from the
Lightning).
Their lowest pick in the second
round is No. 55 (from the New York
Rangers). If ever there was a time
to have multiple high-round picks,
it’s this year.
“The top 50 or 60 players in this
class is deep,” Marr said. “After that
it tails off.”
Marr said this draft class is
unusual in that a lot of top candi-
dates have varied skills and play-
ing styles, so teams have a better
chance of landing the targets on
their draft board.
“It’s a real smorgasbord where

they’re going to be able to pick
and choose the type of player that
they’d like to add,” he said. “In all
likelihood, that type of player will
be available when it’s their pick.”
The Hawks made ripples with
Monday’s trade for Taylor Hall,
but no draft picks were involved:
The Boston Bruins got to dump
$6 million in salary and received
defensive prospects Ian Mitchell
and Alec Regula.
The Hawks got a leader and
offensive wing to likely line up
with Bedard. They’re also about

floor, even with Hall, so they still

Save the dates: Hawks will open on 5-game trip
By Phil Thompson | Chicago Tribune
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Blackhawks fans
who already might be salivating over the
possibility of seeing Connor Bedard make
his NHL debut will have to wait — unless
they’re ready to book a flight.
The Hawks will be on the road for their
first five games of the 2023-24 season, start-
ing with the opener against the Pittsburgh
Penguins on Oct. 10.
They will swing through Boston,
Montreal, Toronto and Colorado the next
nine days.
The first chance to see Bedard at the
United Center comes on Oct. 21 against the
defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas
Golden Knights. The Hawks will host the
Boston Bruins on Oct. 24 to close a two-game
homestand.
But first things first: The Hawks have to
draft Bedard with the No. 1 pick Wednesday,
though that’s likely a foregone conclusion.
Asked on Tuesday if it has sunk in yet that
he not only is about to be drafted, but also
might play with newly acquired Hawks

Davidson has always said is we’d like to build
this team through the draft — then we have
more control of players because they’re our
own draft picks,” Hawks amateur scouting
director Mike Doneghey said. “It’s easier
to sign them when you already have them
in the system. We made a huge dent in our
prospect pool last year and we’ll bring it even
further this year.”
Here are several players the Hawks might
consider in the first and second rounds, along
with comments from Marr and Doneghey.
1. Calum Ritchie, center
Age 18, 6-foot-2, 184 pounds
Team: Oshawa Generals (OHL)
Doneghey: ”He led the Ivan Hlinka tour-
nament in scoring (10 points: four goals, six
assists). He was just on the Canada team in
April that won the (World Junior Under-18)
bronze medal, and he put up numbers there.
He’s a skilled forward. He plays wing with
Canada, but he plays center in Oshawa. He’s
obviously got a long body at 6-2 and he’s a
good skater.”
Marr: ”When you needed an offensive
chance, he would create an offensive chance.
When you had to defend a lead, he would
defend a lead. He just made things happen.
… He moved up on our final rankings just
because we had so much respect for (his)
game.”
2. Daniil But, left wing
Age 18, 6-5, 203
Team: Lokomotiv Yaroslavl (KHL)
Marr: ”He went from 11 to nine (in
the international rankings). ... He consis-
tently stands out with his passion. … In the
men’s league, he didn’t necessarily get the
numbers, but he was in on the play. And
anytime you see that with a young player
who plays at the pro level, where he’s able
to contribute, it’s impressive. … His skill set
stands out for a big guy, his puck skills with
his stick handling.”
3. Mikhail Gulyayev,
defenseman
Age 18, 5-10, 172
Team: Omsk (Russian junior league)
Doneghey: ”He’s a good puck-moving
defenseman. He skates really well, he’s
offensive. He sees the ice very well. He prob-
ably projects as a top-four defenseman in
the NHL.”
4. Quentin Musty, left wing
Age 17, 6-2, 200
Team: Sudbury Wolves (OHL)
Doneghey: ”The second half of the year,
after the coaching change (from Craig
Duncanson to Derek MacKenzie), he had a
lot of points. … He’s a big body. He’s shown
the ability to score.”
5. Étienne Morin,
defenseman
Age 18, 6-0, 180
Team: Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL)
Marr: ”(Morin) is my favorite defen-
seman in this draft class. He reminds me
of Marc-Édouard Vlasic with San Jose. ...
(Morin) gets the job done with or without
the puck. Very calm and composed, just a
smart player. ... From midseason to our final
ranking, Étienne went from 24 to 19.”

“It’s a good try,” Davidson said to laughs.
“I respect the function and ceremony of the
draft and what that means for the families.
... There’s a place to announce those things
and that’s on stage at the draft. So that’s what

But he did allow himself to comment that

3. Home bodies?
The Hawks have only one away game in
February: at Carolina. The other nine are at
the UC.
4. Working for the weekend.
The United Center will host 25 games on
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays — their most
weekend home games since 2008-09. Seven
of those games will be matinees, which is
two more afternoon games than they had last
season. Those will start between 1 and 3:30 p.m.
5. That’s a wrap.
After finishing their home slate against
the Nashville Predators and Carolina Hurri-
canes, the Hawks will close out the season on
the road against the Golden Knights and Los
Angeles Kings.

6. Oscar Fisker Mølgaard,
center
Age 18, 6-0, 166
Team: HV71 (Swedish Hockey League)
Marr: ”He’s got the two first names,
‘Oscar Fisker.’ He’s from Denmark (but)
played in Sweden. He’s kind of a sleeper guy
that will go higher than what he’s ranked. …
He’s not a big guy, but he plays bigger than
his size. … He just has that compete in him,
that extra effort. … He did well for himself by
representing Denmark at the World Cham-
pionships and by representing himself at the
combine” despite a knee injury.
7. Danny Nelson, center
Age 17, 6-3, 212
Team: USA U-18 National Training Devel-
opment Program
Marr: ”Nelson played defense growing
up and they converted him to a forward. …
It was like an accelerated development (at
NTDP). Instead of going like one, two, three,
four, five, he was kind of going like two, four,
six, eight. … He has a good frame on him. He
got stronger as the season went along. That
gave him more confidence.”
8. Gavin Brindley, center
Age 18, 5-8, 168
Team: University of Michigan
Marr: ”Brindley plays with a passion and
a compete where he’s not going to be denied.
But he’s a quick and clever player. And he
goes into traffic. … He’s a front-door type
player. … (Adam) Fantilli did his thing, but
some nights I had general managers come
up to me to say Gavin Brindley was the best
player on the ice.”
9. Charlie Stramel, center
Age 18, 6-3, 222
Team: University of Wisconsin
Doneghey: ”We’ve known him for a
couple years. He’s a Team USA guy and he’s
played Minnesota high school hockey before
that. He’s a big center and he’s strong and
powerful.”
Marr: ”He’s your big power forward. He
did exceptionally well with the combine and
he’s physically mature. … (As) a freshman,
you’re hard-pressed to (make an) impact
when you get to the NCAA, but he got better
and better as the season went along.”
10. Andrew Gibson,
defenseman
Age 18, 6-3, 202
Team: Soo Greyhounds (OHL)
Marr: ”(One of ) the players that might be
sleepers. … Had an unfortunate injury that
kept him out almost three months. But he
finished the season strong when he did come
back with Canada at the U-18s.”

Brits love their Cubs
How a social media account has helped grow UK fan base
By Meghan Montemurro
Chicago Tribune
LONDON — A trip to Mexico
six years ago unexpectedly
changed the direction of Mike
Ivory’s sports fandom.
Four days into a vacation with
his wife, Ivory stopped in to the
sports bar in their hotel, where
he saw a baseball game playing
on the TVs. The England native
was surrounded by Cubs fans in
the bar and started talking with
those seated around him as they
watched the game, learning about
the history of the franchise.
“I was hooked,” Ivory told the
Tribune. “I watched a lot of base-
ball throughout that whole holiday,
but it was really the Cubs that I kept
going back to to look at the scores.”
When Ivory returned to the
United Kingdom, he figured other
baseball fans must be out there
despite the sport’s low popular-
ity in the country. So Ivory started
a Twitter account (@Chicago-
CubsUK) to connect with other
baseball lovers in both his native
country and the U.S. — and more
specifically, Cubs fans.
Ivory, 31, saw the engagement
grow after the inaugural London
Series in 2019 with the New York
Yankees and Boston Red Sox. He
brought on his friend Joe Fran-
cis, who followed Ivory’s Twit-
ter account and often engaged
with it, to help grow the account
to reach more UK Cubs fans.
Because Francis worked at a bar,
often getting home around 5 a.m.,
he still would be up when Cubs
night games wrapped up.
The pandemic created lots of
downtime in 2020, and for Rachel
Marsh, 26, a video call that year
with her Cubs-loving friend in
Illinois created the perfect storm.
The Cubs’ shortened season was
underway when, during one of
their chats, her friend directed
her phone toward the TV to show
Marsh a game and explain the
sport and team.
“I was getting annoyed having
to look at two screens, so I found
a stream, put it on and I’ve barely
missed a game since,” Marsh told
the Tribune. “I chose the Cubs in
that moment, and here we are.”

Cubs fans Rachel Marsh, 26, and
Mike Ivory, 31, at the London Series
at London Stadium. RACHEL MARSH
Marsh always had been a big
sports fan. She grew up watch-
ing cricket and saw similari-
ties to baseball — or, as she put
it, “cricket on steroids,” adding
with a laugh that her comparison
“could trigger some people with
the pun there.”
“I like how it is drawn out, I
like that it takes time,” Marsh
explained. “I like that it’s not just
hit the thing as hard as you can
and you’ve won the game, that
it’s mental and physical. I love
how many games there are. I love
that it just completely takes over
everything.”
Ivory and Francis eventually
invited Marsh to help run their
UK Cubs fan account when they
saw her knowledge and engage-
ment. Sadly, Francis unexpect-
edly died last year. Ivory and
Marsh remain close to his mom
and see her regularly.
For Ivory, Marsh and other
devoted UK baseball fans, the
Cubs playing in the London Series
last weekend felt like a holiday. A
chance to see their favorite team
in person in their home country
represented a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity, a sentiment echoed
by Cubs fans who traveled from
the U.S.
Ivory and Marsh attended both
games at London Stadium, where
the Cubs split the two-game series
against the St. Louis Cardinals.
“I really hope this does have a
lot of positive impact on getting
people to be Cubs fans,” Ivory said.
“I reckon MLB is where the NFL
in the UK was maybe 20 years ago.
We seem to be at the very start.”
 Chicago Tribune | Section 3 | Wednesday, June 28, 2023 3
Major League Baseball iden-
tified London and the UK as an
important avenue to build its
brand overseas and specifically
in Europe. MLB pays attention
to where other American sports
leagues have chosen to play inter-
national games.
Since 2007, the NFL has played
a game in London every season
except 2020, including multiple
games per season since 2013 with
three more scheduled this year.
The Bears played in London in
2011 and 2019.
“Number one, London is a great
sports town, and because there’s
sort of a natural affinity for sport
here in London, it’s a great place
to gain a foothold into Europe,”
MLB Commissioner Rob
Manfred said Friday. “Secondly,
just for historical reasons, there’s
a special affinity between Great
Britain and the United States. We
understand baseball as a uniquely
American phenomenon in some
ways. But if you’re trying to inter-
nationalize, starting in friendly
territory seems like a good plan.”
The Cubs-Cardinals series drew
110,227 fans for the two games,
nearly 8,500 fewer than the inau-
gural Yankees-Red Sox series.
“The bad things caused by
the pandemic is a very long list,”
Manfred said, “but one of the things
I regret is that we weren’t able to
build immediately on the momen-
tum that we felt we gained from the
Yankees-Red Sox series here. It was
a really popular event. Great games.
Economics were really strong in
terms of merchandise sales.
“But it is a fact of life that the
pandemic caused delays on a
variety of fronts, and we feel like
bringing another rivalry here and
making a commitment to come
back next year (with the New York
Mets and Philadelphia Phillies)
will allow us to regain the momen-
tum that we might have lost.”
Said Ivory: “Between 2017 and
2023, the UK is completely unrecog-
nizable now when it comes to base-
ball. We’ve got so many accounts
now that are doing so many good
things to promote the game that
it’s just going to go from strength to
strength, and I’m just excited to be
part of where we’re going.”

before the game, earning Ameri-
can League Player of the Week for
the first time in his career.
“It’s something that makes me
really happy,” Robert said of the
recognition. “It’s just the result of
all the work I’ve put in. I’m very
happy for it and it’s something
that motivates me to keep work-
ing hard.”
He slashed .444/.524⁄1.111 (8-for-
18) with four home runs, five RBIs
and six runs in six games last week.
Robert homered twice in Sunday’s
4-1 victory against the Boston Red
Sox and hit a game-tying solo home
run in Saturday’s 5-4 win.
He was the first Sox position
player to earn the award since José
Abreu from May 24-30, 2021, and
the first Sox outfielder to receive
the honor since Jiménez from
Sept. 9-15, 2019.
“He deserves it, he’s earned it,”
manager Pedro Grifol said before
Monday’s game. “It’s not so much
the production, but it’s the work
he put in, the buy-in that he’s got.
Really proud of him. He’s put in
really good work.”
Robert continued his tear
Monday, hitting a solo home run —

Players Association convened
during the day to determine
whether to postpone the game,
but opted to play on.
The collective bargaining
agreement dictated the decision
on such a cancellation would
be in the hands of MLB and the
union, not the teams involved.
Ian Happ, the Cubs player
representative, said Tuesday’s
decision to play was made by
MLB after consulting with the
union.
“The league felt the levels
were playable,” he said. Happ
said the smoke affected the flight
of the ball, but it wasn’t too bad.
The air quality index was
around 250. Happ said there
was “no line,” or number,
that would make conditions
unplayable, and he didn’t know
how MLB came to its deci-
sion. “Good question,” he said,
adding, “I don’t know how
often wildfires are going to
affect baseball games, but until
somebody goes out and sets a
standard of what that is, it’s just
an arbitrary line and we’re all
trying to figure it out together.”
Otherwise, it was business as
usual around Wrigley Field.
Earlier in the day, dozens of
children gathered in Gallagher
Way outside the park to watch the
computer-animated movie “Wall-
E,” a film that includes a message
about the hazards of environ-
mental neglect. The smoky haze
from the fire was widespread
but did not obscure the video
board secured on the Cubs’ office
building, and none of the parents
seemed too concerned about the
air pollution.
There have been fouler smells
emanating from Wrigley in years
past, but usually it was due to
the play of the Cubs. The smell
during Tuesday’s game was more
like a campout at Wrigley, and
a smoky crowd of 37,072 turned
out to watch a jet-lagged Cubs
lineup look lifeless against Phil-
lies left-hander Ranger Suárez,
who held them to one run on
four hits over 7 ⅓ innings.
Cubs starter Jameson Taillon
allowed five runs in five innings
in another uninspiring outing,
falling to 2-6 with a 6.90 ERA.
A couple of hours before
game time, Cubs manager David
Ross said he didn’t have enough
knowledge of the situation to
say whether he was concerned
about playing in the unhealthy
air conditions.
“I was out walking around
earlier in the day,” he said. “It
was not ideal. There’s probably
smarter people making decisions
on that than me.”
Some players did what they
had to do. Trey Mancini was out
on the field early to take ground-
ers and extra infield practice
after making some egregious
fielding errors on the road trip
in Pittsburgh and London. Most
Cubs took batting practice.
Cubs second baseman Nico
Hoerner noted it “definitely
smells pretty smoky outside,
(so) we’ll do pretty limited stuff
outside pregame, and then see
what we’ve got.”
Asked if the players had any
concerns about playing under
such conditions, Hoerner said: “I
think we’re all kind of just learn-
ing what that really means, the
air quality numbers and things
like that I’m not really famil-
iar with. Hopefully we’ll be all
right.”
Hoerner then let out an
awkward laugh.
Of course, most of the players
are in good shape and relatively

his 22nd of the season — in the first
inning. He had two of the team’s
three hits in the 2-1 loss.
Through Monday, Robert ranks
second in the AL in homers and
extra-base hits (42), third in slug-
ging percentage (.569), total bases
(165), defensive runs saved (9),
fourth in OPS (.897), tied for fourth
in runs (52) and tied for eighth in
doubles (20).
“The main key is being able to
play every day,” Robert said. “I’ve
been healthy. And that’s what you
want. I have some ups and downs,
but I think I’ve been consistent in
my work and my routine. That’s
probably the only thing you can
control.”
He’s played in all but three of the
team’s 79 games this season.
“Basically if you are not play-
ing every day, you can’t show who
healthy. More at risk were older
fans and those with heart or lung
disease.
MLB canceled games in New
York and Philadelphia on June 7
due to the hazardous air pollu-
tion from the Canadian wild-
fires. White Sox manager Pedro
Grifol said that night at Yankee
Stadium: “A couple of guys,
myself, my throat started hurt-
ing a little bit. Maybe it’s mental,
maybe it’s not. Still, they did the
right thing.”
The Cubs organization
conceded to the poor air quality
by allowing the Chicago media
to vote on whether to keep the
press box windows closed for the
game. Typically the Cubs keep
it open if it’s over 50degrees,
whether the writers agree or
not. The writers on Tuesday
voted unanimously to keep the
windows closed.
The surreal atmosphere took
a little of the focus away from
the Cubs’ recent hot streak.
They returned home from a 4-1
road trip and stood three games
behind the National League
Central-leading Milwaukee
Brewers, in spite of being two
games under .500. The Cubs play
four games in Milwaukee next
week.
“If you’re in contention, the
record doesn’t matter, right?”
Ross said. “You’re either in it
(or not). We’re three games
back and I don’t care if we’re
20 games over .500 or you’re
20 games below .500. If you’re
three games back from the
people leading your division,
you’re three games back. That’s
the way I look at it.”
Fortunately for Ross, the Cubs
weren’t 20 games below .500 or
else he’d be hearing it from fans,
no matter where they stood in
the race. The Cubs have been
playing well the last three weeks,
riding their starting pitching and
improved hitting in clutch situ-
ations.
“We went through a stretch
there where hitters were doing
really well and then a stretch
where the pitchers were doing
really well, and we couldn’t
put it all together,” left fielder
Ian Happ said. “But we put it
together.
“The lineup shakeup with
(Mike Tauchman) at the top has
been really good, and Dansby
(Swanson) hitting four or
five, and getting (Cody Bell-
inger) back, all those things put
together (have helped).”
The Cubs made a couple
of roster moves beforehand,
selecting the contract of first
baseman Jared Young from
Triple-A Iowa and optioning
Miles Mastrobuoni to Iowa.
Young was designated for
assignment after last season, but
re-signed and finally made his
way back to the Cubs.
Drew Smyly and Kyle
Hendricks will start the final two
games of the series, and Ross
expected Marcus Stroman’s blis-
ter to heal in time to make his
next start Saturday against the
Cleveland Guardians.
Stroman told reporters in
London he could use some rest
during the All-Star break, which
might mean the Cubs’ top starter
would be unavailable to pitch in
Seattle. That would be OK with
Ross.
“He knows his body really
well,” Ross said. “He’s really in
tune with his body. If he feels like
he needs a break I’m sure he’ll
take that break. That’s between
him and Major League Baseball.
Hopefully he gets selected for
the All-Star Game.
“I think he deserves that as I’m
sure (the media does). After that,
that’s a personal preference.”
you really are as a player,” Robert
said. “This year, to me, it has been
the biggest key (that) I’ve been
healthy.”
Robert is one of five players in
Sox history (eight times) with
20-plus doubles and homers before
the All-Star Break, joining Frank
Thomas (1993-94, 2003), Abreu
(2014, ‘19), Jermaine Dye (2008)
and Magglio Ordóñez (2000).
“I think every ballplayer wants
to be the best that he can be, and
that’s my case every time that I go
out and every time that I’m on the
field,” Robert said.
His play led Grifol to say after
Sunday’s game, “There’s no doubt
in my mind this guy’s an All-Star.
No doubt. I don’t know who needs
to hear it, but this guy’s an All-Star.”
Robert said Grifol’s words
“means a lot.”
“That’s the most important, for it
to come from the manager,” Robert
said. “I appreciate that.”
Robert said of the possibility of
an All-Star selection, “It would be
something very special because
I think I’ve been doing a pretty
good job up to this point. If I’m not
there, well, it wouldn’t matter. I’ll
be doing whatever I’ve been doing
since Day 1.
“It’s not something I can
control.”

McDavid wins 3rd NHL MVP honor
Connor McDavid won his third Hart
Trophy as NHL MVP on Monday
night, falling one vote short of unani-
mous selection after the highest-scor-
ing season by a player in more than a
quarter-century. McDavid also won
the Ted Lindsay Award as the NHL’s
most outstanding player as voted by his
peers. The Oilers captain led the league with 64 goals,
89 assists and 153 points. That’s the most points since
Mario Lemieux in 1995-96. McDavid previously won the
Hart in 2017 and 2021 and the Lindsay in 2017, 2018 and
2021. Universally recognized as the best hockey player
in the world, McDavid is still searching for his first Stan-
ley Cup title after the Oilers lost in the second round of
the playoffs to the eventual-champion Golden Knights.
“Certainly it’s not lost on me what these trophies mean in
the grand scheme of our game,” McDavid said. “To do it a
number of times, it means a lot to me. Obviously, it’s not the
motivating factor, but it’s special still.” One voter out of 196
picked the Bruins’ David Pastrnak as MVP. Members of the
Professional Hockey Writers’ Association vote on the Hart.
Tragedy sidelines NASCAR’s Johnson
Police in Muskogee, Oklahoma,
confirmed Tuesday they are investigat-
ing the shooting deaths of three rela-
tives of seven-time NASCAR champion
Jimmie Johnson. The bodies of Jack
Janway, 69; his wife Terry Janway, 68;
and their grandson Dalton Janway, 11,
were discovered Monday at a home
in Muskogee, located about 50 miles southeast of Tulsa,
Muskogee police spokesperson Lynn Hamlin said. Hamlin
said investigators believe Terry Janway shot and killed
her husband and grandson before shooting herself. Police
responded to the home after a woman called 911 to report
a disturbance with a gun before hanging up, said Hamlin,
who confirmed the three are the parents and nephew of
Johnson’s wife, Chandra Janway. Johnson’s race team,
Legacy Motor Club, announced it was withdrawing his
No. 84 Carvana Chevrolet from this weekend’s NASCAR
Cup Series event in Chicago. The team added: “The John-
son family has asked for privacy at this time and no further
statements will be made.” Johnson, 47, is racing on a part-
time basis this year as co-owner of Legacy.
Dressel off to tough start at nationals
Caeleb Dressel dropped farther and
farther behind, a far cry from the
dominant swimmer he was at the last
Olympics. In his first major competi-
tion since a long layoff, Dressel finished
29th in the 100-meter freestyle at the
U.S. nationals on Tuesday in Indianap-
olis, falling far short of qualifying for
the world championships in an event he won at Tokyo two
years ago. Dressel touched the wall behind the other seven
swimmers in the last of eight preliminary heats. His time
of 49.42 seconds was a whopping 1.79 behind top qualifier
Ryan Held, who swam one heat earlier, and a sobering
reminder of how far Dressel has to go after surprisingly
walking away from swimming last summer during the
world championships. Dressel previously had discussed
the mental health struggles he faced ahead of the Tokyo
Olympics, which included panic attacks and depression.
Dressel’s time Tuesday was nearly 2.5 seconds off his gold-
medal performance (47.02) in Tokyo. Dressel, 26, won five
golds at those Olympics. He still has three more chances to
qualify for the world championships. —AP

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES

LSU ‘lucky to have’

Johnson as coach
By Eric Olson | Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — Jay Johnson was a West Coast guy and

doing just fine coaching at Arizona when the opportunity
to take over at LSU presented itself.
The Tigers were long established as college baseball
bluebloods, and Johnson would have been lying if he said
he weren’t at least interested in taking a look at succeeding
the retiring Paul Mainieri after the 2021 season.
Johnson said knowing he would have Dylan Crews on
the roster for two years made the job irresistible.
With the Golden Spikes Award winner leading the way
along with star transfers Paul Skenes and Tommy White,
the Tigers made the 46-year-old Johnson the first base-
ball coach to win a national championship before his third
year at a school.
LSU was the consensus No. 1 team in the nation from the
preseason until May 8, and now the Tigers are back where
they started after winning a three-game College World
Series finals with an 18-4 win over Florida on Monday
night for their seventh title and first since 2009.
The Tigers bounced back from a 24-4 loss in the second
game of the finals, giving up the most runs ever in a CWS
game.
“I really believe this will go down as one of the best teams
in college baseball history,” Johnson said. “So consistent in
the regular season. I think the SEC Tournament is the only
week of the year we had a losing record, if you think about
that. Eleven wins in the postseason, six of them against
SEC teams.”
Johnson didn’t mention LSU (54-17) won two of three
CWS meetings with No. 1 national seed Wake Forest, the
Atlantic Coast Conference team that had replaced the
Tigers atop the polls seven weeks ago.
Crews had been the catalyst for the program since he
opted out of the 2020 amateur draft to sign with LSU.

After 1, ‘nobody knows’

Top pick won’t be surprise,
but lots of intrigue to follow
By John Wawrow
Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Blackhawks
general manager Kyle Davidson
arrived for the NHL draft in Music City
this week reflecting on the tear-down
job he began conducting a summer ago
by trading away Alex DeBrincat and
Kirby Dach.
And that was before Davidson essen-
tially completed the process by dealing
away Patrick Kane to the Rangers in
February. Then, the organization and
longtime captain Jonathan Toews
decided to part ways.
On Wednesday, the 34-year-old GM
gets to begin building the Blackhawks
back up again with the No. 1 pick, with
which the team is expected to select
17-year-old Canadian sharp-shoot-
ing and playmaking center Connor
Bedard.
“It feels so long ago, but the diffi-
culty in some of those decisions is very
present in my mind,” Davidson said
Tuesday. “It’s heartening to see the
development in some of those players
that we acquired in the draft last year.
And I feel we’re in a good spot moving
forward.”
Davidson, like most GMs who have
had the No. 1 pick, won’t divulge who
he’s selecting. Still, he was more than
eager to praise Bedard, who is being
referred to as a generational talent and
has drawn comparisons to Connor
McDavid following consecutive
100-point seasons with the Western
Hockey League’s Regina Pats.
“Great player. Great person. I think
everyone’s seen how he’s handled
himself in the lead-up to this draft,” he
said. “Obviously, a lot of attention. He’s
shown a maturity beyond his years:
17 years old, but you’d never know it on
how he’s handled things.”
Bedard, meantime, was trying not
to look too far ahead or discuss the
Blackhawks, including a chance to play
alongside Taylor Hall (the No. 1 pick in
2010), who was acquired by the team a
day earlier in a trade with the Bruins.
“Nothing’s happened yet,” said
Bedard, the WHL’s first player to
score 71 goals in 24 years, and whose
143 points were the most since 1995-
96. “I take things day by day. And if
they take me, that’ll be unbelievable.
But we’ll see what happens.”
Beyond the near certainty of Bedard
going first, there are several subplots to
how the rest of the first round unfolds.
The intrigue revolves around when
Matvei Michkov — a forward who’s
skilled but under contract to play in
his native Russia through 2025-26 —
is selected, and when the first defen-
seman goes off the board in what is a
top-heavy class of forwards.
University of Michigan forward
Adam Fantilli, only the third fresh-
man to win college hockey’s Hobey
Baker Award as the nation’s top player,
Sweden’s Leo Carlsson and USA Hock-
ey’s William Smith are projected to
round out the top four, with Michkov
potentially in the mix.
The Ducks hold the second pick,
followed by the Blue Jackets, Sharks
and Canadiens.
“Well, I don’t think there’s going to
be any surprise at No. 1 ... and then after
that nobody knows,” Blue Jackets GM
Jarmo Kekalainen said. “We’re going to
do our list the way we see it no matter
what. And if somebody wants to shock
us and take somebody else No. 1, then
we’ll take whoever is highest on our
list.”
The Ducks, meanwhile, have been
curiously silent.
GM Pat Verbeek has declined to
address reporters in the weeks lead-
ing up to the draft, and his first public
comment won’t likely come until he
steps to the microphone to announce
the team’s selection.
Michkov’s presence is the wild card
of the proceedings.
The 18-year-old has shown flashes of
his playmaking brilliance, but mostly
on tape the last two years because
NHL teams have difficulty getting
to watch him firsthand due to travel
restrictions resulting from Russia’s war
in Ukraine.
“Nobody’s seen him. He’s a ghost,”
said Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong,
whose team holds two first-round
picks at Nos. 6 and 12.
Austria’s David Reinbacher is
regarded as the top defensive prospect,
though NHL Central Scouting chief
Dan Marr predicted Quebec’s Etienne
Morin will be the first to be selected.
And don’t rule out trades, with a
majority of teams outside the top 10
seeking to move up in the draft order
in what is described as one of the
deeper offensively skilled draft classes
since, perhaps, 2015, when the Oilers
selected McDavid first overall and the
Sabres followed with Jack Eichel.
AP writers Stephen Whyno, Larry Lage
and Teresa M. Walker contributed to
this story.
Air Force, added 5 mph to his fastball and had what ESPN
analyst Kyle Peterson one of the most dominant seasons
ever by a college pitcher. Skenes set the SEC record for
strikeouts in a season and was the first collegian in 12 years
to fan more than 200.
White, who came from North Carolina State, hit 24
home runs and led the nation with 105 RBIs after taking
over for first-round draft pick Jacob Berry at third base.
White hit the 11th-inning walk-off home run against Wake
Forest that put LSU in the finals.
Thatcher Hurd, who came from UCLA, was a week-
end starter and middle reliever who matched his season
high with six innings while earning the win in Monday’s
18-4 win.
The freshman class yielded Gavin Guidry and Griffin
Herring, both of whom played major roles out of the bull-
pen in Omaha.
Another of Johnson’s key moves was convincing desig-
nated hitter Cade Beloso to return for a fifth year after
missing last season with a knee injury.
“Had to beg him to come back — not beg him, but recruit
him to come back and not move on with his life,” Johnson
said. “And then to have that tournament. We’re not the
national champions without him.”
Beloso hit the go-ahead home run in a win over Wake
Forest that staved off elimination, and he connected in
the 11th inning to beat Florida in Game 1 of the finals. He
also had a key homer in the super regional final against
Kentucky. Beloso finished the season batting .324 with
16 homers.
“This program is so lucky to have coach Jay Johnson,”
Beloso said. “He’s not stopping, I promise that.”
In his second season as LSU baseball coach, Jay Johnson led
the Tigers to the national championship. JOHN PETERSON/AP

fire rages in Warlord’s kitchen. This is
only partly a metaphor.
While three determined chefs
bustle about the Avondale restau-

corner of the open kitchen. Flames leap off the
wood, licking the sides of the hearth. All the
while, heat pumps into the kitchen, drenching
the chefs in sweat.
Trevor Fleming, Emily Kraszyk and John
Lupton don’t seem to mind. The three Chicago
restaurant veterans first met at Table Fifty-

spending years in kitchens like Rootstock,

plotted to open a restaurant together.

where we could do what we wanted.”
Just as important was what they didn’t want,
which is why Warlord might as well be called

chefs’ names aren’t even listed on the website,
though you can find a black-and-white group

It gets more mystifying. Care to peruse the

Sweet-tart salmon is
ready in no time
By Melissa Clark
The New York Times
It’s easy to forget that
rhubarb is a vegetable. Much
of the time, you’ll find it buried,
like a fruit, under an avalanche
of sugar baked into a pie, crum-
ble or cake, or maybe simmered
into a compote.
But rhubarb isn’t just for
dessert. With a bracing acidity
reminiscent of citrus or pome-
granate and no pesky seeds, it
lends brightness and tang to all
sorts of savory dishes. It also
adds body, cooking down into
a thick sauce with a soft, pulpy
texture much like tomato (an
actual fruit), though sharper
and pinker.
My favorite way to show off
rhubarb’s savory side is to use
it as a foil for rich ingredients
like fatty meats, buttery sauces
and oily fish, which the stalks’
tartness cuts like a light saber.
Think vinegar, but with preci-
sion and finesse.
In this recipe, I match rosy
rhubarb with even pinker
salmon fillets for a simple,
Steak kebabs are perfect for casual dining
By Gretchen McKay
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
For this meat lover, there may
be no better summer dinner than
a fat and juicy ribeye steak cooked
to perfection over a bed of hot
coals. But boy, is that a splurge in
these days of high inflation, espe-
cially when you’re also cooking
for others.
The economical stand-in to
that expensive steak doesn’t have
to be burgers. Instead, buy a less
premium cut of meat, cut it into
chunks, let it soak for a few hours
in a savory marinade and then
stick the pieces on a skewer with
your favorite vegetables.
Kebabs are not only more
cost-effective than steaks, but also
an easy way for home cooks to get
meat and a variety of vegetables
on the table at the same time.
Plus, skewered food is just
fun to eat, especially in summer,
when dining tends to be a little
more casual.
For this recipe, I used top
sirloin, a cut that’s leaner than
ribeye but still full of beefy flavor.
A quick bath in an acidic and
garlicky marinade guarantees it
will be tender.
A few tips: Be careful not to
thread the skewers too tightly;
the heat won’t be able to properly
circulate if the meat and veggies
are crowded together.
Also keep in mind that meats
and vegetables cook at different
rates — you’ll want to choose ones
with similar densities. Produce

smaller should be cooked on a
separate skewer and taken off the
heat earlier.
I used bell pepper, Vida-
lia onion and zucchini for my
slide into compote territory
(in which case, save it for your
morning yogurt).
When the sauce reaches
a perfect balance of tart and
sweet, spoon some over the
fish fillets before roasting. This
allows the rhubarb filaments
to singe and caramelize in the
oven’s high heat. Then serve
kebabs, but you also could thread
the skewers with mushrooms,
eggplant or red onion — whatever
floats your boat. For a less spicy
sauce, reduce or omit the jala-
peno pepper.

the rest of the rhubarb mix on
the side for a fresher, zippier
bite.
If you can find deeply red
rhubarb stalks, they’ll give
you the most vivid presenta-
tion. Green stalks, though just
as flavorful, cook down to a
listless beige and aren’t nearly
as pretty. Still, that’s nothing a
flamboyant garnish of scallion
greens couldn’t fix.
You can substitute other
fillets for the salmon, but
proceed carefully. You need a
strongly flavored fish to stand
up to this strident sauce. Asser-
tive mackerel, swordfish, blue-
fish and tuna all stand their
ground nicely. But mild fillets
like cod, flounder and halibut
will be quickly overwhelmed.
Rhubarb is not for delicate
proteins.
I love this dish on a bed of
buttery rice, which absorbs
the flavors of the salmon and
the sauce and mellows them
perfectly.
Rhubarb’s always a joyful
dessert, but to really get to
know it, bring it to dinner.

RHUBARB ROASTED SALMON
Makes: 4 servings
Total time: 25 minutes
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, more to
taste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar, more for serving
½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger, more to
taste
Salt
6 ounces rhubarb, trimmed and sliced
1-inch thick (1 ⅓ cups)
4 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Red pepper flakes, for serving (optional)
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a
rimmed baking sheet with parchment
paper, if you like, for easier cleanup.
2. Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the
scallion greens for serving. In a medium
saucepan, combine remaining scallions,
sugar, vinegar, ginger and a pinch of salt.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and
simmer until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Add the rhubarb. Cover pan and cook,
stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb
is just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove
pan from heat and, using a spoon or fork,
mash the mixture until it falls apart into a
chunky purée. Taste and add more sugar,
vinegar, ginger and salt if needed. It should
taste balanced between sweet, tangy and
salty.
4. Arrange salmon skin-side down on
the prepared baking sheet. Season lightly
with salt and pepper. Spread half of the
rhubarb mixture on top of the fillets (save
remaining rhubarb for serving). Top fillets
evenly with cubed butter. Roast for 8 to 13
minutes or until the salmon is just cooked
through.
5. Garnish the fillets with the reserved
scallions, red pepper flakes (if using) and,
if you like, a drizzle of rice wine vinegar.
Serve with the remaining rhubarb sauce.
flakes, oregano and a pinch of salt
and pepper in a bowl or resealable
zip-close bag.
2. Add steak chunks; stir/massage
to combine and make sure all the
meat is covered with marinade.
Place in refrigerator for at least 1
hour or up to 4 hours.
3. When ready to cook, preheat
a grill over medium-high heat to
about 425 degrees. (I cooked over
charcoal.)
4. Prepare cilantro sauce by
placing all ingredients in a food
processor or blender and blending
until smooth; taste and add more
lime juice or salt to taste. Set aside
while you grill kebabs.
5. Using metal or bamboo skewers
that have been soaked in water,
thread the marinated meat along
with the veggies, alternating them
on the skewer. (I divided everything
between four skewers.)
6. Be sure to keep a little daylight
between the individual pieces — it’ll
help everything cook evenly on
the grill. You’ll also want to brush
the skewers with some of the
remaining marinade and discard
the rest.
7. Brush grill grates lightly with
oil. Place kebabs on hot grill and
grill until center of steak registers
about 140-145 degrees for medium,
turning kebabs occasionally, about
8-9 minutes.
8. In large bowl, fluff cooked
rice with fork to separate grains,
then add lime juice and zest and

9. Transfer rice to a large platter
and place kebabs on top. Serve
immediately with cilantro sauce.

sometimes they don’t even

know exactly what will
go on the menu minutes
before service. “That’s the
exciting part,” Lupton said.
“The restaurant is a living
thing. Everything evolves
constantly. You never really
know what it will be.”
It’s not like Warlord goes
full free jazz every night,
improvising the dishes top
to bottom. There are cate-
gories. In general, you’ll find
a few starters, a pasta dish,
both a raw and a cooked
fish, plus a large red meat
offering. As for specifics,
your guess is as good as
mine.
This makes discuss-
ing dishes for this review
almost futile. I went on
a Friday, and by the time
a Tribune photographer
arrived to take photos
Monday, at least half the
dishes were different. I
tried a phenomenal monk-
fish chop (paired with a
delightful hollandaise and
bright green asparagus);
Warlord was instead serv-
ing a 12-day-aged swordfish
three days later. I’m sure it
was lovely, but all I know
for certain is that even the
swordfish won’t be avail-
able by the time this review
publishes.
The chefs claim they
aren’t purposefully trying
to alienate diners. Instead,
flexibility is required,
because the majority of
the vegetables and meat
are local, and they are
dependent on the farmers.
(While the fish obviously
isn’t local, the crew works
with a distributor who
brings in seafood based on
the season.) Some dishes
even change by the second.
When asked what cut of
pork was used for one dish,
Lupton said he wasn’t sure.
“We get a quarter of a
pig,” Lupton said. “When
an order comes, it’s luck of
the draw what piece you
get. Three people from the
same table could get three
different pieces. They are all
delicious but different.”
This is not standard
restaurant practice. Usually,
dining is all about creat-
ing consistent experiences

for the customer. But often
Warlord feels like an inten-
tional revolt against the
supposed wisdom of the
current dining scene. Hate
QR codes and additional
service fees? You won’t find
any of that here. You might
have to wait in line or miss
a dish you saw posted on
Instagram because it’s no
longer available, but that’s
just part of the deal.
I already lost my favor-
ite dish, which paired the
aforementioned pork with
beets and a dark red beet
sauce the color of blood.
Confrontational and strik-
ing, it looked more like a
minimalist art piece than
dinner. But the earthiness
and sweetness of the beets
played off the exceptionally
juicy pink-hued pork, which
had picked up smoky notes
from the wood-fired grill.
Nearly every dish has
been stripped of ornamen-
tation, allowing the chefs
to drill down to its essence.
“Less is more,” Fleming
said. “The best thing to do
is pay homage to a quality
ingredient. This has become
our style.”
So it’s a bit surprising
that with all this evolution
of dishes, one constant is a
burger. Of course, it’s a great
one, made with extra-sa-
vory, dry-aged beef that’s
full of fascinating mineral
notes. It’s paired with
sweet, charred onion and
a luxuriously soft bun that
compresses with the slight-
est touch. At the moment,
it’s only $16, an absolute
steal.
“We always knew we
wanted to have a burger,”
Lupton said. “We didn’t
want to exclude anyone. We
also provide a higher-end
experience, but you can
come for a burger and a beer
and hang out. That’s what
we thought about.”
The menu prices are
surprisingly moderate, with
all but one under $31. (At
least, this was true on my
last visit.) Sure, a 10-ounce,
dry-aged rib-eye goes for
$60, but considering the
prices that steak goes for
downtown, that’s entirely
reasonable.
“We talk about menu
prices all the time,” Fleming
said. “We see what people
are charging. But we know
what our food prices are.
I want to cook for artists
who appreciate what we
are doing.” And this just
isn’t plastic-wrapped meat
they get from a supplier and
immediately serve. Most of
the meat and seafood come
in large hunks, which are
then placed in Warlord’s
striking dry-aging fridge,
located behind the host
stand.

I tried the adobada tacos,
which feature absurdly
juicy slivers of marinated
and charred pork cut off a
vertical spit.
But if it’s in stock, the
taco to try is the costillas.
The cooks grill marinated
pork ribs over charcoal
until the bones slip out
and you’re left with outra-
geously tender nuggets of
slightly sweet and spicy
pork that’s infused with
smoke. You can get the meat
on a perfectly acceptable
store-bought tortilla, but I’d
spring for the freshly made
corn tortillas, which pick up
toasty char marks from the
griddle.

A spring theme counters the dark elements of the historic

Wheaton building in which Maypole is located. The restaurant
opened Thursday. MEAGAN SHUPTAR/GETTY

Maypole brunch, Vanaman recom-

from Page 1
Ruxbin restaurant in West
Town and helped open the
restaurant Mott St., also in
West Town.
Vanaman has family in
the western suburbs and
now has a toddler so was
looking to move out of
the city. When she visited
the Maypole space and
instantly felt inspired, it
wasn’t long before she
signed on and had a menu
ready. The restaurant
opened Thursday at 121
W. Front St. in downtown
Wheaton.
“Seeing how big the
community was out here
and how welcoming every-
one was, it was meaning-
ful to me,” said Vanaman,
Maypole’s executive chef
and co-owner. “Their
philosophy behind hospi-
tality was right in line
with what I wanted to do
with food, so it just kind of
clicked.”
Vanaman, who was
born in the Philippines
and grew up in the United
States, created a menu
that is representative of
her heritage. She hopes
it’ll lay the groundwork
for community gatherings
and celebrations, so you’ll
find meals served family
style and even set meals
for two.
The must-order item is
the fried chicken thighs
marinated in toyomansi, a
mix of Filipino soy sauce
and calamansi juice.
Although you can order
the chicken as part of a
rice bowl, on a bao or even
on an ube waffle during
mends ordering it in a
sandwich dressed with
Asian slaw, spicy pickles
and garlic aioli. It’s her
homage to the chicken
sandwich from Filipino
chain Jollibee, a sandwich
Vanaman says is “perfec-
tion.”
“Like in most forms of
art, the more specific you
get, the more universal
it becomes,” said Alicia
Hauge, director of oper-
ations, co-owner and
designer of the space.
“Words like ‘ube’ or ‘long-
ganisa’ or ‘pancit’ might be
unfamiliar to the west-
ern suburbs, but there’s
an opportunity to connect
with it because it was very
specifically comforting to
chef.”
Dishes rooted in Vana-
man’s memories and
experiences are the back-
bone of the menu. You’ll
find a pork belly adobo
with bold flavors that
made Chad Hauge “cry a
little bit in joy” because it
reminded him of Amer-
ican comfort food. The
team’s favorites include
calamansi pie and the
lumpia spring rolls, which
come from a recipe passed
down through Vanaman’s
family and are often hand-
crafted by her mother and
sister.
“I want to gather people
and expose them to foods
that are super important to
me and at the same time be
approachable and fun for
people who might not be
too familiar with the flavors
of the Philippines or South-
east Asia,” Vanaman said.

The tractor has the capacity
to drive itself, though, as with
self-driving cars, the notion can
make people nervous. Still, driv-
ing a tractor is a dangerous job,
particularly with vineyards on
slopes. Farmers die every year
in tractor accidents. Self-driving
offers an additional bonus.
“It allows us to provide more
opportunity for vineyard work-
ers to be able to manage multiple
tractors and more complexity,
rather than one person, one trac-

things,” Matthiasson said. “More

The tractor comes with
cameras and sensors controlled
by proprietary software, which
not only enables autonomous
driving but also the gathering of
data about a vineyard, like crop
health, yield estimation, insect
life and moisture.
If wine was not exactly his

The search for autistic girls
More females are being diagnosed,
raising questions about evaluations
By Azeen Ghorayshi
The New York Times
Morenike Giwa Onaiwu
was shocked when day care
providers flagged some
concerning behaviors in
her daughter, Legacy. The
toddler was not responding
to her name. She avoided
eye contact, didn’t talk
much and liked playing on
her own.
But none of this seemed
unusual to Onaiwu, a
consultant and writer in
Houston.
“I didn’t recognize
anything was amiss,” she
said. “My daughter was just
like me.”
Legacy was diagnosed
with autism in 2011,
just before she turned 3.
Months later, at the age of
31, Onaiwu was diagnosed
as well.
Autism, a neurodevel-
opmental disorder char-
acterized by social and
communication difficul-
ties as well as repetitive
behaviors, has long been
associated with boys. But
over the past decade, as
more doctors, teachers and
parents have been on the
lookout for early signs of
the condition, the propor-
tion of girls diagnosed with
it has grown.
In 2012, the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention estimated that
boys were 4.7 times as likely
as girls to receive an autism
diagnosis. By 2018, the
ratio had dipped to 4.2 to
1. And in data released this
Report finds moving to EVs could save US lives
HealthDay News
Consider yourself a life-
saver if you opt for an elec-

Electric cars can save
millions of lives and
reduce health care costs
by improving air quality so
people can breathe better,
according to a new report
by the American Lung
Association. Zero-emission

exhaust gas or other pollut-
ants into the atmosphere.
past spring by the agency,
the figure was 3.8 to 1. In
that new analysis, based
on the health and educa-
tion records of more than
226,000 8-year-olds across
the country, the autism rate
in girls surpassed 1%, the
highest ever recorded.
More adult women like
Onaiwu are being diag-
nosed as well, raising
questions about how many
young girls continue to be
missed or misdiagnosed.
“I think we just are
getting more aware that
autism can occur in girls
and more aware of the
differences,” said Catherine
Lord, a psychologist and
autism researcher at the
University of California,
Los Angeles.
In the first study of
autism, published in 1943,
Dr. Leo Kanner, a psychi-
atrist at Johns Hopkins
University, identified 11
children — eight boys and
three girls — with “the
powerful desire for alone-
ness and sameness.”
It wasn’t until 1980
that autism was officially
recognized in the Diagnos-
tic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders, the
primary classification
system used by psychia-
trists.
But the diagnosis was
narrowly defined, requir-
ing a pervasive lack of
interest in people, as well
as language impairments
and particular fixations, all
detected before a child was
30 months old.
Instead of gasoline, these
vehicles are powered by
batteries that use charging
stations.
If all new cars, pickup
trucks and SUVs sold
by 2035 were EVs, there
would be up to 89,300
fewer premature deaths,
2 million fewer asthma
attacks, 10.7 million
fewer lost workdays, and
a savings of $978 billion
in public health benefits
across the U.S. by 2050,
according to the report.

As experts gained under-
standing of autism as a
spectrum of behaviors, the
DSM’s criteria broadened.
Children could have diffi-
culty making friendships
or imitating others; verbal
or nonverbal communica-
tion delays; or restricted or
repetitive interests, such
as a preoccupation with
specific topics.
Most girls diagnosed
with autism in those early
days had intellectual
disabilities, making it easier
to identify them, Lord said.
And many clinicians,
she said, did not know
that autism could mani-
fest differently in girls
who have less noticeable
physical manifestations
of the condition. Studies
since have shown that girls
with autism are more likely
than boys to camouflage
their social challenges,
sometimes by mimick-
ing source of air pollution

to have challenges meeting

said report author Will
Barrett, senior director for
clean air advocacy at the
American Lung Associa-
tion.
So far, six states have
followed California’s lead
in prohibiting the sale of
new gas-powered cars by
enacting the Advanced

ing the behaviors of the
girls around them. What’s
more, girls are often treated
differently by adults, such
as being told to smile or
being encouraged to partic-
ipate more in group play.
Even the toys clinicians
used to evaluate chil-
dren for autism were later
criticized for being more
appealing to boys.
“There have always been
autistic girls,” Lord said. “I
think people didn’t knock
themselves out to be aware
that girls might be treated
slightly differently.”
The most recent edition
of the DSM, published in
2013, acknowledged an
even broader spectrum of
behaviors that might indi-
cate autism and specified
that autism in girls could go
unrecognized because of
“subtler manifestations of

In addition, the Environ-

thirds of new passenger

2032.

Kevin Pelphrey, a
neuroscientist and autism
researcher at the Univer-
sity of Virginia Brain Insti-
tute, said that more than
15 years ago, when his own
daughter began to show
signs of autism, even he
didn’t recognize them.
Pediatricians told him,
“#‘It’s probably not autism —
she’s a girl,’#” he recalled.
The brain systems
involved in social behav-
ior develop more quickly
in girls, he said, which may
be a “protective factor” for
girls with autism, especially
in early childhood. But as
they grow older and social
relationships among girls
become more complex,
girls with autism begin to
stand out more and are
often bullied, Pelphrey said.
“That leads to another
big difference between
boys and girls: Girls can

to develop anxiety and
depression,” he said. Those
problems can also obscure
the underlying autism and
lead to misdiagnoses.
In a 2017 review of
dozens of studies, research-
ers from Britain estimated
that the true sex ratio was
closer to 3 to 1. Some online
surveys that include people
who have self-diagnosed
show an even lower skew of
males to females.
Although autism is no
doubt underdiagnosed in
girls, most experts say that
it’s more prevalent in boys.
Autism has strong genetic
roots, and some studies
have suggested that the
sex differences may stem
at least in part from innate
biological differences.
For example, girls with
autism tend to carry larger
genetic mutations than
boys do. Girls may need a
bigger “genetic hit” to be
impacted, Pelphrey said,
possibly because they carry
protective genetic factors.
The shifting demograph-
ics of autism are not limited
to sex.
The proportion of
nonwhite children with
autism has also grown
over the past decade. In
the CDC’s recent report,
autism rates among Black
and Latino 8-year-olds
surpassed those of white
children for the first time.
“Autism was this thing

Q: Did you mention grape-
fruit juice in conjunction
with beet juice for blood
pressure control? Or was
I dreaming? Can I drink
grapefruit juice without
the health police chasing
me?
A: You were not dream-
ing. We wrote about this
research two years ago
(British Journal of Clinical
Pharmacology, February
2021). In a small random-
ized controlled study,
participants had their
blood pressure taken after
consuming beet juice or
placebo beet juice with
grapefruit juice at various
visits. On one visit, they
also consumed beet juice
with water. The partici-
pants did not know which
combination they were
drinking.
The authors reported
that grapefruit juice
enhanced the blood-pres-
sure-lowering effect of
beet juice. They conclude:
“Given that the taste
was improved by grape-
fruit juice, this combina-
tion has potential for use
as a dietary approach to
improve BP.”
The only reason the
“health police” might
disapprove is if you are
taking a medicine that
interacts with grapefruit.
