The 2020 U.S. census is a little more than a year away, but that hasn’t stopped Jay Young from worrying about what it will mean for Illinois. Young, of the watchdog group Common Cause Illinois, has spent so much time thinking about the decennial count of the state’s population that he recently had a dream that he showed up to a census-related meeting unpre- pared. “There is so much at stake and I constantly worry that we are HANNAH PETERS/GETTY behind,” he said.

ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT If you believe your only options are agonizing knee pain or surgery... You are WRONG! Thousands of Chicagoland Boomers and Seniors are now getting knee pain RELIEF, INSTEAD of knee replacement.

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. We know this because we hear people say this over and over again at the Joint Relief Institute in Orland Park.

EDITORIALS Another issue Lightfoot and Preckwinkle should talk up: Chicago transportation The pension plight. Violent crime. Job creation. Mayoral runoff candidates Lori Lightfoot and Toni Preckwinkle have tan- gled often on these and other topics. But there’s a subject they haven’t hit as hard that’s just as central to the lives of Chicagoans. What is it? Getting to work. If neighborhoods are the city’s lifeblood, its streets and express- ways, train lines, bus routes, bike paths and sidewalks are its vascu- lar network. The City that Works doesn’t work if congestion brings mobility to a crawl. Lightfoot and Preckwinkle have touched on some transit issues, but we’d like to hear more.

I must be in a nostalgic mood, because just a couple of months after writing about the legacy of John C. “Jack” Bogle, the father of the index mutual fund, I am writ- ing about another legend, Warren Buffett.

Terry Savage The Savage Truth Should investors trust the January Barometer?

The 10th anniversary year of this bull market got off to a great start in 2019. After posting the largest one-day point decline in history on Christmas Eve, January proved the Grinch did not steal the stock market. At the end of the first two months this year, the S&P 500 stock index gained 17.5 percent. Despite a weak start in March, the stock market has already far outperformed the DREAMSTIME historic average annual return of the S&P 500 index, which is slightly over 10 per- cent, including reinvested dividends.

Jimmy Greenfield On the Blackhawks

MONTREAL — Regrets? I’ve had a few. I regret that time I tried to Rollerblade down the Rocky Mountains. I regret not listening to my mom when I was 6 years old and she told me not to touch the stove because it was, you know, on. And I regret not eating dinner before the Canadiens game then getting a Big Mac meal at mid- night as I was leaving the Bell Centre. It was delicious, of course, but going to sleep on a full stom- ach of fries, a Coke and special sauce was regrettable. Do the Blackhawks have some regrets about this season? I’m betting they have a few as well.

If only ... the Hawks had fired Joel Quenneville during the summer. The reason the Hawks gave for not firing Quenneville after last season seemed to make sense. The 2017-18 season wasn’t his fault because Corey Crawford was hurt and Marian Hossa was gone. It would have been “unfair” as Hawks President John McDonough put it at the news conference after Quenneville was fired. And it might have been. But giving Quenneville just 12 games and only one mini-slump before firing him indicates fairness wasn’t the issue. They felt a

ROUNDUP Auburn wins first SEC title since ’85

Bryce Brown scored 19 points, and the Auburn Tigers won their first SEC Tourna- ment championship since 1985 by routing eighth-ranked Ten- nessee 84-64 in Nashville, Tenn. No. 22 Auburn (26-9) hadn’t played in this game since 2000, and the fifth-seeded Tigers won their fourth game in as many days to capture only the second SEC Tournament title in program history. The Tigers have won eight straight and 10 of their last 11 heading into the NCAA Tournament. Better yet, Auburn and coach Bruce Pearl have be- come the nemesis to his old program, beating Tennessee (29-5) three straight times. Auburn ruined the Volunteers’ hopes of winning back-to-back SEC regular-season titles for the first time with an 84-80 win to wrap up the season a BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE PHOTOS week ago, and the Tigers also Kenny Goins (25) and Cassius Winston bump chests during Michigan State’s late run to beat Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament final Sunday. are the last team to beat Tennessee in Knoxville.

CUBS WHITE SOX Jimenez: ‘I tried to do too much’ Club’s top prospect to start season at Triple-A Charlotte By Jack Thompson Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Eloy Jimenez ad- mits he was pressing in his bid to make the White Sox opening-day roster. “I accept it and I’m going to work hard,” Jimenez said Saturday of his demotion to minor-league camp earlier in the week. “I tried to compete. They gave me the chance to be the best player I can be.” “I tried to do too much. I think that’s why I don’t have the good results,” he said. Jimenez, the centerpiece of a 2017 trade that sent pitcher Jose Quintana across town to the Cubs, has been the subject of speculation as to his arrival in the big leagues. The 22-year-old outfielder, ranked as the No. 3 prospect overall by Baseball America and MLB.com, wasn’t called up a year ago despite a monster season split between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Char- lotte — where he’ll start the 2019 season. He hit a combined .337 with 22 homers and 28 doubles in 456 at-bats. He will likely get the major-league call in late April, at which time the White Sox will gain an extra season of contract control over him because of service time. This spring, Jimenez hit .154 with two doubles and a home run in Cactus League play. He struck out nine times and did not draw a walk, going 4-for-26 overall. Manager Rick Renteria said making the move Wednesday, with two weeks left in ELAINE THOMPSON/AP spring training, should allow Jimenez to get Jon Lester says “I’ve got to get those innings up” to take pressure off a bullpen that is missing some key contributors from last season. his timing down. That was something Jimenez said was an issue for the first time in his young career. “We want him to get as many at-bats as possible, continue to work out in the outfield,” Renteria said. “Here we were doing approximately every other day or Starters’ long haul every third day, and he needs to get his timing back on track.” CUBS RECAP more frequently this season.

IN PERFORMANCE ‘American Dream’ takes on too much By Howard Reich Chicago Tribune

The internment of Japa- nese-Americans during World War II will forever remain a stain on our his- tory and surely is a subject ripe for the operatic stage. “An American Dream,” which had its Chicago premiere in a Lyric Unlim- ited production Friday night at the Harris Theater, attempted to address that formidable topic within the confines of a one-act cham- ber opera. Though the piece — first staged by Seattle Opera in 2015 — couldn’t encompass the breadth and darkness of this American tragedy, it deserved some credit for trying. Certainly composer Jack Perla and librettist Jessica Murphy Moo dreamed big in trying to link this moment in history to a still more deadly attack on humanity: the Holo- caust. That’s a lot of catastro- phe to pack into a single act. Too much, in fact, for this mostly gentle, soft- spoken piece to contain. But if “An American Dream” couldn’t do justice TODD ROSENBERG PHOTO to the enormity of these So Young Park, from left, Christopher Magiera and Catherine Martin in “An American Dream,” which compresses big subjects into a too-small package. crimes, it at least offered a small, slender window into music evoking Marc neo-romantic, Americana this way.

Heidi Klum often said on the reality competition series “Project Runway” that “one day you are in, the next day you’re out.” That’s what has happened to the supermodel as the series returns on Bravo.
