At Ward’s age of 24, that amounts to a lifetime. Dahleen Some would say Glanton that Ward, a gang member who was in and out of trouble with the law, had been working his way to this point for a long time. But his mother apparently never saw it coming. Maybe it’s because she would not open her eyes. In an interview during the waning days of her son’s murder trial last summer, April Ward sat down with me to talk about the son she knew. She insisted, just as she did on the witness stand during the sentencing hearing Monday, that he was a good son. ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE PHOTOS She told me he was never in a gang, and most certainly is not a murderer. “I raised him spiritually, always in Frosty, furry line church,” Ward, 45, said during a lunch break in the courthouse cafeteria last year. “My son can quote Scripture. He knows it for low-cost pet well. His grandma taught him that.” The young man who confessed to police vaccine clinic on video that he went to a South Side park one afternoon in 2013 and fired into a group Dozens of pet owners, including Vidal of high school students, striking Hadiya, Diaz with his American pit bull, Missy, was not the child she had raised with her husband.

He was 14 or 16, and he’s the leader of some gang that’s been around 20 years? “That makes him look bad. It makes him look like an animal. My son is not an ani- mal. He’s not a mad dog walking around crazy.” It is understandable that a mother would not want to believe that her son is some sort of monster. No mother would. Perhaps Ward isn’t evil. But he certainly 5 ideas for massive isn’t the choirboy his mother has tried to make him out to be. And that’s a problem, not just with her, but also with many moth- ers of gang members.

We all know the name Jayme Closs. Let’s be responsible with it. A 13-year-old girl spotted at a bus stop. Her home invaded by a shotgun- carrying predator who kills her father, then mother. Months at a rural Wiscon- sin home, hidden under a bed. The allegations following Jayme Closs’ dis- appearance tell a story beyond night- mares. Her astonishing abduction and its exhilarating end — Jayme alive, running free and quickly reunited with family after 88 days missing — has understand- ably captivated the nation’s attention. So far, authorities have successfully bal- anced the public interest in justice with concern for the victim’s privacy. Jake Patterson, 21, has been charged with kidnapping Jayme and killing her E.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE True masculinity isn’t toxic Equating “traditional masculinity” with “toxic masculinity” (“So long, masculinity, you’re a relic of unenlight- ened times,” Jan. 11) is a terrible disser- vice to men, even more to boys, but also to women and girls. The “war of the sexes” has been with us for a long time. “Machismo,” an older term for toxic masculinity, is a distortion of true mas- culinity. Boys need to be raised to be strong, caring, considerate men, not to be macho, but also not to be girls. The corresponding distortion of femininity is feminism, really another form of machismo, in which true femininity is considered a weakness. Femininity is also strong, caring and considerate but in a different mode. You will know true gentlemen and true ladies if you meet them. — William G. White, Lombard Heart birth defects in adults The recent story by Alison Bowen (“Teen born with half of a heart com- petes in ‘American Idol of ballet’ in River Forest,” Jan. 14) regarding Naomi Babcock was very heartwarming and informative. Malformed hearts, also called congenital heart disease, are the most common of birth defects occurring about 1 in 100 births. The skill of pediat- ric congenital heart doctors allows most of the children with such dire defects, who in the past would not have sur- vived, to not only survive but also thrive into adulthood today!

The Democrat’s signing of the order Tuesday, his first full day as governor, was opposite the stance taken by his predecessor, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who twice vetoed legislation that sought to ban salary history ques- tions during the hiring process. Numer- ous states have approved such bans, often termed No Salary History laws, in hopes of narrowing the gender pay gap. Rep. Anna Moeller, D-Elgin, who sponsored the vetoed legislation, said in a Facebook post that she plans to reintroduce a bill again this year. Pritzker has pledged to sign it after it passes the General Assembly, she said. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel last year issued an executive order prohib- iting city departments from asking or seeking out a candidate’s prior wage. Women’s advocacy groups say basing a new hire’s salary on previous compen- sation perpetuates disparities in pay between men and women, who may have been underpaid in the past. Women also tend to work in lower-paying jobs and are more likely than men to take time off or reduce hours to care for children or other family members, which affects prior salary levels.

A Nebraska bill defines meat as “any edible portion of any livestock or poultry, carcass, or part thereof,” unlike the plant-based burger on the right. NATI HARNIK/AP NEB. BILL LOOKS

NFL Partners “Here’s what I would say: Expect the unexpected, if that’s possible. in prime Campbell, from Page 1 You always say, ‘Don’t block “you can’t (simulate that). And he ghosts,’ but you better be ready did it.” Pace and Nagy excitedly take for all eventualities.” that sweet aftertaste into Nagy’s — Brad Childress, former NFL coach on facing first full offseason with Trubisky. Bill Belichick and the Patriots in the playoffs Of course, there’s the obligatory shot of vinegar. While the Bears are free to sketch their offseason road map. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play Sun- day for the AFC championship and a Super Bowl berth. With Mahomes’ eye-popping 50 touchdown passes, the quarterback drafted eight spots behind Trubisky is the odds-on favorite to be named the NFL’s most valuable player. But the 2017 draft is etched in stone. Fretting over it serves no purpose for Pace and others at Halas Hall who are dedicated to exploiting this Bears champi- onship window. Not that Pace regrets taking Trubisky over Mahomes, anyway. Regrets aren’t his thing. As Mahomes rocketed to star- dom in his first season as a starter, proving to be the type of quarter- back that sure would pair nicely with this Bears defense, Nagy took the long view with Trubisky. Trubisky needs experience and more experience in the offense, we heard. He’s a self-described reps guy. A full offseason will do him wonders. Well, Trubisky completed Nagy’s 101-level class, his grade an 11-4 record. There were many promising moments, like the six-touchdown, no-interception blowout of the Buccaneers. There also were troubling stumbles, like his three-interception night against the Rams. And since Pace brought up the playoff game, it’s fair to point out MADDIE MEYER/GETTY the Bears were 0-for-3 in the red Patriots coach Bill Belichick always seems to come up with a new wrinkle when he and his staff put together a game plan for the playoffs. zone and scored a touchdown on only one possession. Both sets of performances will AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME fuel Nagy and Trubisky on their push.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Luke Wal- ton began a wellness program for his Lakers coaching staff. Steve Kerr reached out to Steve Clifford after each spent significant time away from the sideline because of debilitating headaches and other symptoms. Coaches around the league are taking preventive measures to help deal with the grind and stresses of a long NBA season. That hasn’t always been the case. Now, the NBA Coaches Association provides guidance to its members on everything from diet and exercise to sleep and mental health. “Well, we’re trying. We all are trying, we all are conscious of it,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “I don’t think we’re very good at it, honestly. I know I’ve tried. It’s still very hard to accomplish. The game consumes us. It consumes me at least, and it should, if you love it. And it’s just hard to turn off. It’s important. We have to do it. We should have been doing it.” After a late arrival in Bay Area last month, it was after 10 p.m. when Rivers had the team tissue therapist work on his body, in- cluding knees and ankle — “and my brain.” He has consulted a sleep doctor, too. In L.A., Walton is being proac- tive by encouraging every mem- ber of his staff to stay physically, mentally and emotionally heal- thy.

Bernie Bickerstaff took a power nap that allowed him to be fresh for a long night on the NBA bench. J.B. Bickerstaff now does it the same exact way as coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. The coaches association is pro- viding support and guidance like never before, and many coaches are making a point to openly discuss wellness strategies and share ideas. There’s also a close-knit sup- port system within this crop of NBA coaches that Dallas’ Rick Carlisle, the coaches association president, considers special. “We also have a unique group of head coaches right now, guys that are extremely competitive but have great respect for one another and provide a high level of support for each other,” Car- lisle said. “Guys who are going through tough times with health and even things like losing streaks. We’ve got a very high character group.” For example, Clifford so appre- ciated a call he got last season from Kerr, each having gone through his own challenging health ordeal that kept him from the bench for an extensive stretch. Clifford, then coaching the Charlotte Hornets, missed more than five weeks dealing with agonizing headaches that after a battery of tests were deemed to be caused by sleep deprivation. Kerr has endured some of the most high-profile absences.

Rob Friedman, a pitching coach outside Atlanta, felt unleashed. The man who runs the “Pitching Ninja” social media accounts had been locked in a battle with Major League Baseball and Twitter last spring over the suspension of his popular account, which features captivating videos of baseball’s nastiest pitches. Now Friedman had his account back, with Major League Base- ball’s blessing to celebrate Noah Syndergaard’s “Black Magic Sinker” or Blake “The Witch” Treinen’s 99-mile per hour fast- ball that shimmies in and out of the strike zone. His online follow- ing nearly doubled between his April 2018 suspension and the new year, pushing him over 100,000 followers. (He also signed a modest deal with Major League Baseball when his account was restored; terms were not dis- closed.) “It was almost like I came back with a vengeance,” he said in a recent phone interview. “I wasn’t mad at anybody, but I knew I could tweet whenever I wanted to. More people noticed me. Pitch- ers came to my defense. I felt more confident in what I was putting out there.” And so the man who once characterized his digital struggle with the most analog of major American sports as a contest between “the suits” and “the people” decided to bring his two decades of coaching experience to social media. Earlier this month he launched an entirely new service, called “Flatground,” named for a type of training session for pitchers. Instead of showcasing profes- sionals, he solicited videos of high school and amateur hurlers. He’d retweet the footage and ask “Pitching Twitter” — an online community of college and pro evaluators, coaches and pitchers — to weigh in with tips and advice, and to connect promising pro- spects with college recruiters or professional scouts. “I just saw a need in the baseball community to prevent people from falling through the cracks,” said Friedman, whose son pitches at Georgia Tech. “This is some- thing I’ve seen over and over again with my son coming up in travel ball and high school. And now there were guys who were asking me to retweet them so they could be seen.” Two of those pitchers were playing independent league base- ball, meaning they were not signed with a professional team. Both could hit 102 mph on a radar gun. “If you’re throwing 102 and can’t be seen, what about all these other guys I’ve seen who are good and throw 88 and 90?” Friedman asked. “They’re not going to seen or go to college. “Showcase ball and travel ball is expensive. Not everyone can af- ford it. And that means not everyone can afford to be seen. Maybe this way we could break down some barriers and help people get noticed in the process.” At least for some of the prospec- ts who have submitted footage to Friedman in recent months, the publicity has helped them connect with college and pro scouts. Both independent league pitchers Friedman mentioned have signed, DUANE BURLESON/GETTY with the Brewers and Orioles.

Take one for the team. That’s what Andy King had been asked to do. For weeks, Fyre Fest — a sup- posed new and luxurious Bahamian music festival that had attracted the inter- est of thousands of Insta- gram-loving millennials — had been on the brink of collapse. King, a 57-year-old respected event producer who has hosted charity functions for Leonardo DiCaprio and environmen- tally friendly Oscar parties, had flown down to Great Exuma in an attempt to save the much-hyped event. He did so at the request of his protege, Billy McFar- land. For years, King had served as the twentysome- thing’s mentor, helping the would-be entrepreneur launch a credit card that promised exclusive benefits for wealthy New Yorkers. But when King arrived on the island, things were far worse than he’d anticipated.

No one Geppetto is re- sponsible for Pinocchio’s well-being. The result has encour- aged in a remarkable range of puppetry — a kind of State of Puppetry festival 2019 — drawing on ancient styles and improvised origi- nals, dance and film, satire and documentary. One show, from a French com- pany (of course) takes as its central character a shop- ping bag; another offers Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Ayn Rand; there are veterans of Broadway’s “War Horse” and local storefront companies. What follows then are five distinctive styles of puppet- ry at this year’s festival. Spectacle Puppetry As the name implies, the flashiest puppetry genre, often using immense char- acters (Broadway’s “Kong Kong”), or requiring pup- peteers subsumed inside a puppet (the “War Horse” stage production), or just recognized by a single name: Henson.

Horoscopes Dilbert By Scott Adams Today’s birthday (Jan. 17): Articulate your long-term visions this year. Plot strategies, and schedule regular actions. Love and beauty appear unexpectedly. Family fortunes take a turn this winter, before a partnership leaps forward. Initiate a personal change this summer before launching a passion project. Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is a 7. A breakdown or bad news could disappoint. Dreams could seem more distant. Still, there’s an unexpected opportunity for action. Taurus (April 20-May 20): 8. Postpone an important deci- sion until you’re certain that the funding is there. Unexpect- ed repairs could pre-empt scheduled programming. Adjust the budget to suit current realities. Baby Blues By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott Gemini (May 21-June 20): 7. Treat yourself with the same compassion you show others. You may not meet your own expectations sometimes. You’re only human. Cancer (June 21-July 22): 5. Slow down, and consider op- tions. Reality may not meet your fantasy. When scattered or overwhelmed, take a walk to think things over. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): 7. A barrier between friends could dis- solve a fantasy. Moderate a disagreement. Reassure someone who feels abandoned. Check facts and data. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): 8. Change directions with a profes- sional project. An obstacle could frustrate. Look for hidden opportunities. You can find what you need. Maintain your sense of humor. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): 7. Extra expenses could stall your edu- cational adventure. Limitations could thwart your intentions. Zits By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman Watch and wait for better conditions. Find a different route. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): 8. You can provide what your partner lacks. An unexpected plot twist affects your shared finances. Don’t lose what you’ve got. Doubts interfere with progress. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): 7. Share the load. Support each other through a challenge. Clean up a mess. Let the little stuff go. Actions speak louder than words. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): 8. Slow down to avoid accidents or mistakes. Things may not be as they seem. Step carefully. Don’t fall for a trick. Nurture your physical energy. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): 7. Relax and play with people you love. It could get messy. Listen to what’s going on around you to avoid disagreement. Share your compassion. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): 6. Home improvements could Mr. Boffo By Joe Martin disrupt things. They may require a bigger mess than ex- pected. Temporary confusion or chaos could interrupt. Clear clutter, and feed helpers.

He led a low spade to his 10 like a man who knew it would work. Tommy cashed the king of spades and led another diamond to West’s ace. Tommy ruffed the club continuation in dummy and cashed the ace and queen of spades, discarding a heart and a club from his hand. He led a heart to his king and ruffed his last club with dummy’s king of trumps. In the two-card ending, Tommy scored both his queen and nine of trumps through East’s 10. Not a real trump coup, but close enough to please Tommy.
