The companies cannot be allowed to merely construct caps over their pits and leave the ash there in perpetuity while it leaks into our waters. It’s up to us to force polluters to clean up the messes they’ve made. Lobbyists for the polluters are busy contacting our legislators with a very different message.

CUBS Rizzo likes returning against Scherzer First baseman didn’t want to miss out on ‘chance to face the best’ By Mark Gonzales Chicago Tribune

WASHINGTON — With the Cubs in the early stages of a daunting stretch of 33 games in 34 days, Anthony Rizzo wasn’t about to miss Friday night’s game against Max Scherzer and the Nationals. “He’s one of the best,” Rizzo said Friday night upon his return after missing four consecutive games because of back stiffness. “It’s fun facing him because of the intensity he brings every game. These are the games you don’t want to miss because we get a chance to face the best.” While Rizzo’s return figures to strengthen a streaky lineup, the Cubs’ best chance to survive the likes of the Nationals, Phillies, Astros, Cardinals, Rockies and Dodgers during this stretch could hinge on a rotation largely respon- sible for their quick rise from the bottom to the top of the National League Central. The starting pitchers entered Friday with a 2.33 ERA in their last 30 games since April 8, and their 3.19 ERA overall was second to the Dodgers’ 3.17. “I thought this would have happened last year,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I really thought this is what we had last year.” The most obvious improve- ments have come from Jose Quin- tana and Kyle Hendricks, each of whom has allowed three runs or fewer in seven consecutive starts. In addition, Jon Lester has al- lowed only one earned run in his last five starts. Cole Hamels, who started Fri- day and allowed two runs in five innings, hasn’t given up more than three runs in his last eight starts after allowing five runs in five innings in his season debut. And a healthy Yu Darvish has displayed snippets of dominance, including his 11-strikeout per-

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP Koepka on a binge Even without his ‘A’ game, record 36-hole score leads to a massive 7-shot lead By Doug Ferguson Associated Press

Then he turned up dead, his body floating in the Chi- cago River, beaten and mutilated. That was in the early 1980s. In the years after his murder, gun and gang vi- olence in Chicago soared, and the city, to many, appeared lawless.

SUMMER READING AUDIOBOOKS The joy of audio books

By Amy Wilentz

y first experience listening to audio books was with my children, early in the Harry Potter era, when the books were just being published. I had taken the kids on a skiing adventure in upstate New York, where I discovered they were committed non-skiers. Instead, they swam in the little motel’s pool, and we listened to the discs of “The Prisoner of Azkaban” every chance we got. We’d rush to the car to go bowling, and then linger to listen. We’d hurry to the car to get a meal, then Mlinger again, reluctant to step out of the story. Jim Dale, the actor who read the books, made my life ing us. with kids in the car magical and exciting rather than what Now, decades later, I live in Los Angeles and have a it usually was: another locus for yelling, whining and grueling commute to work that can involve hours of inch- irritation. Sometimes, after parking at home, we’d take the ing along the 405. It is bearable for one reason: audio discs with us and sit stony eyed on the couch in the apart- books. I’ve come to see time in the car, or walking the dog, ment, continuing to listen, even though all of us had al- or cooking a meal as opportunities to read, though it is a ready read for ourselves whichever book Dale was read- different kind of reading, one that is overlaid on the pass-

Then the actor Sean Pratt stepped to you there — with the upT to read the audio version, which made all the differ- ence. I can still remember where my dog Monk and I were book itself, so that you (Larchmont Boulevard, Monk inspecting a corner of the Trina Turk boutique) when Hal made his obsessive plans have specific book for buying marijuana in the book. Every time I drive down Melrose near Paramount now, I think of Poor Tony memories in specific Krause who shot up while wearing a feather boa and heels as Monk and I were walking there. “Infinite Jest” is just one of the books I’ve listened to places that are not that was far superior in audible form. Some books are just too long, too heavy to carry, too daunting a chore to actu- always a chair or your ally read. I’ve listened to three others in the fabled “ginor- mous classic” category, all by (of course) Dickens. As desk or your bed. books, they would collectively weigh (approximately) six tons, but as audio books, they’re as light as air. Here are two things that happened to me because of audio books. One: I had to stop in my tracks. Rereading “Anna Karenina,” this time on audio, I got to the legendary pages about Vronsky’s horse race. The section is famous for its breath-stopping suspense, which I remembered from reading the book many years earlier. I recalled that, like so many things in “Anna Karenina,” it did not turn out well. So I’m walking along, and Vronsky’s “Taking a stone from the right pocket of my greatcoat, flying over fences with his beloved, coddled mare, Frou- and putting it in my mouth, I replaced it in the right Frou, and his rival Makhotin is neck and neck astride pocket of my greatcoat by a stone from the right pocket of Gladiator when … I have to turn the book off. It’s too my trousers, which I replaced by a stone from the left stressful and exciting. pocket of my trousers…” and so on. I want both to stop it and to prolong it. I stand there in As Crowley narrates this math morass, the obsessive the sun, next to a well-tended garden of ferns and azaleas, compulsion of the character somehow becomes comedy, the sprinklers going on a lawn, Monk sitting watchfully, the mathematics lyrical, and by the time Crowley and I and just wait until I can bear the suspense again. And then are halfway through the segment, I am laughing so hard I turn it back on, and the action unfolds as I knew it (yes, alone in the car), that I miss my exit and nearly crash would.

Go off the beaten path with these small-press books

By Kathleen Rooney

ontemplating the title, the cover, and even the author — all these are boxes a prospective reader might check before deciding to purchase and consume a book. But considering the publisher? Probably not. And therein lies a missed opportunity. Because while the majority of the books American readers experience are put out by the so-called Big Five Publishers based in New York City, the first decades of the 21st century have seen a flowering in the increasingly diverse ecosys- tem of small press publishing nationwide. These publishers offer harder — but by no means impos- sible — to find delights that take the imagination into unexpected realms well worth exploring. CAs a small-press publisher myself since 2006 — when I opus with fresh eyes. Ishmael, Ahab, Pip, Stubb, Starbuck, co-founded Rose Metal Press, which specializes in litera- and Moby Dick himself are all here, filtered through Mor- ture in hybrid genres — I have a vested interest in writing ris’ affectionate and adventurous sensibility, reminding this, of course. But I believe it to be true.

46 ARTHRITIS PAIN RELIEF INSTITUTE Specializing in Joint Pain Relief

Are you suffering from arthritis or pain in your knee? Is this pain affecting your life? Does it limit your participation in activities? Are medications failing to control the pain? Do you want to avoid joint replacement? Arthritis Pain Relief Institute can help! I do not want surgery, what can Arthritis Pain Relief Institute do for me? Your knee needs lubricant to act as a cushion and absorb the shock of walking. As you age the natural lubricant dries up. Our Board Certified Pain Management Physicians are specially trained to gently replenish your natural joint lubricants with an FDA approved gel lubricant. This gel allows your joints to move with a cushion and without friction, thereby eliminating your pain, returning you to an active lifestyle and prevent further damage. Our skilled physicians have performed over 50,000 joint injections and can perform this simple procedure in less than 30 minutes. You will be able to walk out of our office, drive yourself home, and resume normal activities. Why have previous injections not worked for me? When injections are performed blindly (without imaging), the majority do not place the lubricant in the joint. It is nearly impossible to achieve the optimal results using blind methods. Our physicians use digital imaging which allows for perfect placement of the lubricant. Why is this necessary? Arthritis will not heal itself and will worsen with time. This treatment can help prevent further deterioration and allow you to live pain free for 6 months or more. Will my insurance cover this procedure? The procedure is covered by Medicare, AARP, BCBS, United and other major insurance carriers, often at no charge to you. Our financial specialists will help you to determine the details of your individual plan coverage. CALL NOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE SCREENING! Appointments fill quickly. Don’t wait!
