It turns out, the secret of enjoying the “golden years” is NOT simply having a giant nest egg for retirement Why? Recent research showed that Baby Boomers and seniors who lead an active lifestyle during retirement, and continue doing the things they truly enjoy, free of pain, ARE happier, regardless of income level or wealth. And truth be told, people who don’t have their mobility to enjoy their favorite activities at that age, all the money in the world won’t bring true happiness.

Campaign, from Page 1 the runoff. The little reliable polling that has emerged shows a jumbled race to replace outgoing Mayor Rahm Emanuel, with no candidate having reached 20 percent of the vote, leaving many campaigns to believe a finish in the high teens could be enough to move on to the next round.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING EDITORIAL CARTOON

Two years on, it remains self-evident that the Trump presidency poses a grave threat to democracy, nonwhite people, and even our ability as human beings to inhabit the planet. It remains equally apparent that there is a collective responsibility to resist — him, his supporters, what they mean, what they want — though what shape that resistance should take, and what demands it places on those who partake in it, are less apparent. The Resistance, capitalized into a movement, was supposed to answer that. It should be a source of power in contending with Trump’s destructive agenda. Instead it has been little more than a tool, a form of branding, for the most be- nign type of opposition, trading on the radical resonance of the word “resistance” in order to appear more powerful than it actually is. The Resistance is a movement in the sense that those who have taken up its banner call it a movement, but no more than that. It is a movement because it is rather than because it does. Perhaps it’s unfair to ask the Resistance to be anything more than that. It may, charitably, be best understood as a social media campaign rather than a movement. … What it has done is given people a slogan under which they can rally. It has allowed them to find others who are frus- trated, isolated, and afraid. It has raised aware- ness and kept people informed about some of the most pressing issues of this still young presidency. That’s worth something.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Teach history pragmatically I had two reactions when reading Max Boot’s lament about the public’s ignorance of history (“If schools stop teaching history, we’re doomed,” Feb. 22). The first was that this accusation is hardly new. George Santayana is credited with stating in 1905 that, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Nevertheless, the results Boot reports from the survey taken by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni are shock- ing, which leads me to ask: What is the American Council of Trustees and Alum- ni, and who where they surveying? Were these incoming freshmen? Did the survey sample the general population? This matters because organizations are always taking surveys and using the results to accuse school systems of not doing their jobs. That leads me to my second reaction to Boot’s column, his assumption that you have to major in history in college to be literate in it. He states that in the late 1960s, 5 percent of female and 6 percent of male undergraduates majored in history as opposed to less than 1 percent and 2 percent currently, respectively. Why did he feel the need to distinguish between fe- JIM WATSON/GETTY-AFP 2017 male and male undergraduates?

That is, are there more students in college now Stop looking to other countries for than in the late 1960s?

Jill Schlesinger BUY YOURSELF Jill on Money How to talk to loved ones about money SOME TIME It’s February, so it’s a good time to talk to Not chasing big paycheck brings greater rewards your special someone(s) about money. That “s” is intentional, because we need to expand our financial conversations from our partner/ spouse to all of our loved ones: the romantic ones, the kids and the parents. Talking to a spouse/partner You know that stress about money causes a lot of relationship friction. The conflicts usually occur because each person arrived into adulthood with a different relationship with money. When I conducted research for my latest book, I found that your family of origin shapes these feelings and habits, for the good and the bad. Keep that in mind as you talk to your partner about money and know that he or she may come from a dissimilar circumstance and also may be hardwired differently about finances. According to psychotherapist Benjamin Seaman, before you start any dialogue about money, “you need to check yourself. Ask whether this conversation will bring you together or not.” If you are using it as an excuse to launch an interrogation, stop in your tracks because that is not going to serve anyone well. Once you have shifted from adversarial to collaborative, set aside a specific time and place to talk and share information about concrete issues, such as any secret or separate accounts (including outstanding debt), and also review financial priorities, such as retirement, college planning and cash flow management.

Terry Savage The Savage Truth Watch out for fees on savings plans

Are you paying too much for your 529 college savings plan? If you’ve bought through a broker or adviser, the answer is almost certainly yes. States have a “direct-sold” plan that you can access through a website, without paying commissions, so it has always mystified me why some parents and grandparents pay extra to get virtually the same access to tax-free college savings plans. States run their own plans, and DREAMSTIME typically offer both broker-sold and direct-sold plans.

It’s high time to ditch the Ping-Pong tables, beanbag GAME OVER chairs and beer taps at work By Howard Tullman

It seems we’re reaching the end of the Ping-Pong and pool table period. It couldn’t come soon enough for me. Something just feels different these days, and maybe it’s a growing need to hunker down a bit and take the task of “taking care of business” a lot more seriously. Let’s dial back leisure in the office, lower the vol- ume on the whining and worrying about hurt feelings, and double down on sweat and toil. We call it “work” for a reason and, while it can certainly be plenty stimu- lating and rewarding, work is not intended to be all fun, all the time. Never was. There’s still no substi- tute for hard, purposeful work and no more likely path to eventual success. Talent and creativity are great, and should certainly be encouraged, but effort and execution are what really matter.

MATT ROURKE/AP Flyers fans celebrate after Claude Giroux scores against the Pittsburgh Penguins during overtime of an NHL Stadium Series game Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The Flyers won 4-3 in front of nearly 70,000 fans despite rain pounding the ice in the third period. Innovations allow NHL to stage outdoor games almost anywhere By Stephen Whyno Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Dan Craig sleeps maybe four hours a night leading up to outdoor games. He only goes out to dinner because he can check the status of the ice on his phone. “Your mind’s always going,” said Craig, the NHL’s vice president of facilities operations. After staging outdoor games in a deep freeze (Edmonton) and summerlike warmth (Los Ange- les), the NHL seems capable of taking hockey outside just about anywhere in the U.S. and Canada knowing the ice will be almost as good as the sheets found inside. When the Flyers hosted the Penguins on Saturday night, it was the 27th NHL outdoor game since 2003. Next season’s Winter Classic is at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where the average high on Jan. 1 is 56 degrees (13.3 Celsius). No worries, hockey fans. “We put the parameters out there as into what we feel the challenges are going to be at a certain climate in a certain area and this is what we’re going to run up against,” said Craig, who has worked all but two outdoor games. “And if we have to go to get different equipment, we go get different equipment. If we need more staff, we just go get more qualified people to come in and give us a hand to make sure that everything works the way it’s supposed to.” Weather is the biggest hurdle that can’t be controlled.

By Jimmy Golen Associated Press

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Baseball is on the clock. The traditionally timeless sport implemented a pitch clock all around major league spring training for the first time Saturday in an attempt to hurry up both pitchers and hitters and keep the modern fan from tuning out the increas- ingly lengthy games. Sixteen games across Florida and Arizona were played under the new rules for the first time, rules that were being phased in without threat of penalty for the first few days or more. There were no notable incidents the first afternoon, when three of the six games approached or surpassed 3 hours. “I hope it gets the tempo up,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said after the St. Louis Cardinals beat Miami 11-1 in 3 hours, 15 minutes. “It sounds like at the minor league level they get used to it, and that’s the way you go.” Baseball has long billed itself as a timeless sport, but as average game times creeped over 3 hours that has become less a badge of honor and more a reason for some young or short-attention-span fans to turn to other forms of entertainment. Since taking over as commissioner, Rob Manfred has made speeding up games one of his primary goals. Last year, the average length of a nine-inning game fell to 3 hours — five minutes shorter than the previous season, but still 36 minutes longer than a typical game in 1976. After pushing for an agreement with players last season, baseball management decided on its own to experiment with pitch clocks during spring training this year. Own- ers have the right to implement them for the regular season but would prefer to reach an agreement with the union. “I don’t think there’s negotia- tion here. As players, it just shouldn’t be in the game. Having a pitch clock, if you have ball-strike implications, that’s messing with the fabric of the game. There’s no clock in baseball and there’s no clock in baseball for a reason,” said Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer, a newly elected member of the Major League Baseball Players Association’s executive committee. “I’m not going to put my name next to this clock.” Los Angeles Dodgers veteran Rich Hill threw seven pitches in the first inning and retired the Chicago White Sox in order. “I didn’t notice the pitch clock,” he said. “I’m against it, but I think it’s just really a fundamental thing for me. That’s it, period. It’s there, great, maybe we can be aware of it. But if it’s going to dictate the outcome of the game, I would CHARLIE RIEDEL/AP hope everybody who loves the Kansas City Royals pitcher Jake Newberry prepares to throw during the fifth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Texas Rangers as game and watches baseball would a pitch clock counts down in the background Saturday in Surprise, Ariz. be against it for that reason only.” “If it’s out there and it’s, ‘Hey, we Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues have to pick it up, we’re using the said they talked about the clocks in clock to use as a warning or a their pregame meetings, but didn’t guideline,’ that would be fine.

APPRECIATION Last great director from Hollywood’s Golden Age

Michael Phillips Tribune movie critic

Stanley Donen brought a new kinetic freedom to the screen musical. Until news of his death, at 94, came Saturday, many considered him the last of the great Golden Age Hollywood directors. Donen began his career as a 16-year-old chorus boy in the 1940 Broadway landmark “Pal Joey.” The musical made a star of Gene Kelly. With Kelly, he went on to co- direct the MGM film versions of “On the Town” (1949); a lot of people’s favorite musical, “Singin’ in the Rain” (1952); and “It’s Always Fair Weather” (1955). On his own, Donen directed eight other musicals, including “Roy- al Wedding” Donen in 1963 (1951), “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1954) and “Funny Face” (1957), the latter starring his boyhood idol, Fred Astaire. “Funny Face” also starred Audrey Hepburn, whom Donen directed in two of the 1960s’ most fashionable and unpredictable romantic comedies: “Charade” (1963) and “Two for the Road” (1967). Donen died Thursday in New York City. The cause of death was a heart attack, confirmed Sat- urday by one of his sons, Mark Donen. Famously combative as well as highly inventive, Donen started as a dancer and later moved into choreography and directing. He was born in Columbia, S.C. All his life he retained stinging memories of his classmates’ anti-Semitic taunts, recounted in many interviews. His father, Mordecai Mo- ses Donen, ran a dress shop, and hailed from Augusta, Ga.; his mother, Helen Cohen, was a native of Columbia. VALERIE MACON/GETTY-AFP “It was sleepy, it was awful, I Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper perform the Oscar-winning song “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born” on Sunday at the Academy Awards. hated growing up there, and I couldn’t wait to get out,” Donen 91ST ACADEMY AWARDS told biographer Stephen M.

By Jake Coyle Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The segregation-era road-trip drama “Green Book” was crowned best picture at the Academy Awards, handing Hollywood’s top award to a film seen as a feel-good throwback to some but ridiculed as an outdated inversion of “Driving Miss Daisy” by others. In a year when Holly- wood could have made history by bestowing best- picture on Netflix (“Roma”) or Marvel (“Black Pan- ther”) for the first time, the motion picture academy instead threw its fullest support behind a traditional interracial buddy tale that proved as popular as it was divisive. But Peter Farrelly’s “Green Book” weathered criticism that it was retro- grade and inauthentic to triumph over more ac- claimed films and bigger box-office successes. Spike Lee was visibly upset by the win. “Green Book” also won best supporting actor for Mahershala Ali and best original screenplay. Lee won his first competitive Oscar while the CHRIS PIZZELLO/INVISION motion picture academy Director Peter Farrelly, center, and the cast and crew of “Green Book” accept the award for best picture Sunday at the Academy Awards. spread around awards for Ryan Coogler’s superhero actress category.
