Trump team puts the ‘brief’ in press briefing

BY JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s White House is putting the “brief” in press briefings. Sean Spicer, the em- battled press secretary, spoke for 30 minutes Tues- day and didn’t answer a number of basic questions, including whether the president believes Russia interfered in the 2016 election and whether Trump had seen the hotly debat- ed Senate health care bill. Once more freewheel- ing exchanges, White House press briefings have been shrinking both in length and content as Trump’s senior aides clamp down on information and contend with the president’s own lack of message discipline and preference for speaking directly to his fan base. 6A WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 2017

BIRNEY IMES SR. Editor/Publisher 1922-1947 BIRNEY IMES JR. Editor/Publisher 1947-2003 BIRNEY IMES III Editor/Publisher

PETER IMES General Manager ZACK PLAIR, Managing Editor BETH PROFFITT Advertising Director The MICHAEL FLOYD Circulation/Production Manager Opinion Dispatch MARY ANN HARDY Controller OUR VIEW Turner’s good qualities should not be forgotten Marty Turner was a no-show Tuesday in what would have been his last official meeting as a Columbus City councilman. When the new council meets for the first time next month, Fredrick Jackson will occupy the seat held by Turner for the past four years as the Ward 4 councilman, the only new face on the six-member council. There have been few one-term councilmen who have achieved the sort of notoriety as Tuner, much of it harmful and much of it harmful to himself. Turner often spoke in the heat of the moment when his emotions overcame good judgment. His social media outbursts were embarrassing and counter-productive. Sometimes, good intentions were undermined by poor decisions or poor choice of words. While we have often been sharply critical of Turner’s behavior during his tumultuous four years on the council, we nevertheless believe he displayed some character- istics that his fellow council members as well as Jackson, also a newcomer to politics, would do well to emulate. There was never any doubt that Turner cared about what was happening in the city and in Ward 4, par- ticularly. He was always willing to listen to residents’ complaints and help where he could, if he could. He was consistently approachable to residents and accessible to media. Turner proved himself to be an independent voice on a council that has been known to fall into predictable voting blocs. Turner simply didn’t play that game. We admire that sense of independence. While his conduct was often regrettable, his instincts were often quite good. His was the first — and for a time — the only voice to be heard in city government in the wake of the Ricky Ball shooting when residents looked to their elected officials for reassurance. Time and again, Turner spoke out — forcefully, if not always effectively — on important matters. While not denying his shortcomings, it is only right to acknowledge his contributions. In some respects, the only thing that prevented Turner from being a truly outstanding councilman was Turner himself. If Jackson can display the same level of passion, independence and accessibility that Turner demonstrated in his four years on the council, the city will benefit. So we tip our hat to that part of Marty Turner and wish Jackson well as he steps into his position on the THE NATION council.

YOUTH FOOTBALL COLLEGE BASEBALL Stingy Gators go to 2-0 at Series Florida, Oregon State only unbeatens

BY ERIC OLSON The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — The Florida baseball team entered the College World Series last year with eight players taken in the first 10 rounds of the 2016 Major League Baseball draft and was an overwhelming favorite to win its first national title in baseball. The Gators scored three runs in 18 innings and became the first Southeastern Conference team since 2007 to go two games and out. This year, with 16 freshmen and sopho- mores and two 2017 draft picks, the Gators have allowed one run in their first two games and are one victory from playing in the best-of- three finals next week.

atatouille is a classic vegetable dish starring eggplant, zucchini, peppers and tomato that Ris deeply steeped in the culture of Medi- terranean France. When I married a man from the heart of Provence, one of the first lessons I received from my new mother-in-law Muriel was how to make a proper ratatouille. (The other was how to pluck feathers from a newly-butchered bellofthekitchen.com turkey, but that’s a story for another day.) During an annual reunion of girlfriends, Anne Freeze of Columbus and her “team” prepared a Mexi- can-themed dinner on their assigned evening. The menu included chicken enchilada verde casserole, Turns out, my American sensibilities had me like that pictured, and a sopapilla-like dish for dessert. The recipes are included today. cooking a ratatouille far too long, making it a gloppy stew of indistinguishable mixed vegetables, a crime I’ve seen committed more often than not here in the US.
