Tell that to Jackson Jr.

Rex W. Huppke

I’m going to remember these words from former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, issued in a state- ment after federal prosecutors suddenly dropped the slew of corruption charges he was facing: “Mistakes are not crimes.” Who knows, those words might come in handy next time I get a ticket from one of Chicago’s red light cameras. “Oh, sorry your honor. I didn’t know it was illegal to run that red light. It was just a mistake, you see, not a crime.” Or perhaps I’ll do some cre- ative expense account filing and use that money to ornately deco- rate my home office so it looks like a room from the PBS show “Downton Abbey.” Then, when I’m fired and charged with em- bezzling money from the com- pany, I’ll just explain it was an innocent mistake.

Kelly jailed after failing to pay child support Singer didn’t comply with judge’s order to pay $161,000 By Megan Crepeau and Rosemary Sobol Chicago Tribune

Musician R. Kelly was taken into custody Wednes- day afternoon after failing to comply with a judge’s order that he pay more than $161,000 in back child sup- port.

Alarmed by the move- ment to legalize recreational marijuana in Illinois, high school students, law en- forcement officials and law- makers rallied against pot in Springfield Wednesday. A coalition of about 40 lawmakers, led by Demo- cratic state Rep. Marty Moy- lan of Des Plaines and House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs, also is sponsoring a resolution to slow down the effort to allow sales and taxation of cannabis.

“Look at the history of major construction projects in this country. There’s always something that turns up that you didn’t expect.” — P.S. Sriraj, director of UIC’s urban transportation center Public hearing may illuminate delays IDOT, from Page 1

To discuss the project, IDOT officials have sched- uled a public hearing from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the UIC Forum and a media briefing. It’s part of a bigger communications push from IDOT that includes a new Facebook page and a Twit- ter account. IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell said the project is “coming to a juncture, with more work shifting onto the actual expressways.” Delays on a project of this magnitude are not entirely unexpected, said P.S. Sriraj, director of UIC’s urban transportation center. He said it’s a major project made even tougher because traffic had to keep flowing through it. “Look at the history of major construction projects in this country,” he said. “There’s always something that turns up that you didn’t expect.” Along with delays came heavy costs, and differing figures. In December, IDOT offi- cials told the Tribune that the project was expected to cost $600 million. But, by then, IDOT had already told federal officials the project BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE cost had increased to $713 Workers walk over the Van Buren Street bridge as construction continues on the Jane Byrne Interchange on Wednesday. million.

EDITORIALS The downfall of Aaron Schock: Greed and ego

In a case that began with a curious Wash- ington Post reporter and an office tour, federal prosecutors have agreed to drop corruption charges against former Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock if he pays fines and back taxes. Indicted in November 2016 on 24 charges alleging he grossly misspent cam- paign and taxpayer money, Schock resigned from his seat in Congress but insisted errors on his paperwork were honest mistakes, not criminal conduct. Prosecutors seemed to bend in that direction on Wednesday. They agreed to drop the remaining criminal counts against Schock — a judge previously had dismissed two counts — if he pays back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and BRIAN CASSELLA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE $68,000 to his campaign funds.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

When Amazon pulled out of New York, the loss of 25,000 future jobs made head- lines. What isn't making headlines are the thousands of jobs being destroyed right now thanks to the city's new $15 minimum wage. Over the past four years, the minimum wage for New York City restaurants that employ more than 10 workers went from $10.50 an hour to $15. ... By the end of last year, there were fewer restaurant workers in the city than in November 2016. Even though overall employment climbed by more than 163,000. … The Hospitality Alli- ance survey found that more than three quarters of New York restaurants cut worker hours in 2018 to offset that year’s wage hike. … This is all in keeping with numerous economic studies that have documented the ill effects of mandatory wage hikes. … A study by the American Action Forum con- cluded that minimum-wage hikes that went into effect in cities and states around the country this year will kill 261,000 jobs right away, and 1.7 million jobs over the long term. Yet advocates for a $15 minimum wage press on. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill to raise that state’s minimum wage to $15 over the next six years. “Today is a vic- tory for the cause of economic justice,” Pritzker said. Pritzker should go to New York. And then try to explain the wonders of “econo- mic justice” to the thousands of people who lost their jobs because of it.

OP-ART JOE FOURNIER Chicago Tribune | Section 1 | Thursday, March 7, 2019 19 PERSPECTIVE

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Be prepared for the worst The Fox Metro Water Reclamation District was saddened by the tragic events in Aurora last month. We share an obligation to the communities we serve to keep the water sys- tems safe and our employees protected in the event of a situation such as what happened to the employees at Henry Pratt. To this end, we turned to the Kendall County sheriff’s office. Sheriff Dwight Baird responded immediately and provided a team that trained our staff should we face a prob- lem in the future. He and his deputies are our local first responders and invaluable partners in safety. If you are a business or governmental body serving the residents of Kendall County, I highly recommend you also contact the sher- iff’s office, at 630-553-7500, to set up the same type of training. Sheriff Baird has a team of experts who will collaborate with you to cre- ate a plan for your staff. It is well worth the phone call. — Patrick J.

At her election night speech last week, I noticed that Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle was reading her speech. It reminded me of the mayoral candidate forums — Preckwinkle also looked down at what I assume were her notes when the moderator was getting to the next question. When she was asked a question by the moderator, she ANJANA RAJBHANDARY PHOTO rarely answered it directly; instead, she used Nepal-born Anjana Rajbhandary, a resident of Chicago’s Logan Square community, fields lots of questions rooted in stereotypes. her time to speak her campaign talking points on that or a closely related topic. In the Sunday Tribune, columnist Eric Zorn writes about her fundraiser at the Burkes’ What it’s like to be a Nepali home under the heading “Preckwinkle’s The- atrical Dodge.” It seems she can’t answer pointed questions outside of forums either. Preckwinkle was a teacher for 10 years and woman living in Chicago is supported by the Chicago Teachers Union, so with that in mind, when you go to vote By Anjana Rajbhandary yes, but I think my fitness standards I once had a white male boss who said April 2, ask yourself one question: Which side would take me only to Everest base he respected Asian culture and how of the bargaining table will Preckwinkle be I am from Nepal, and I have a good camp.

MVC TOURNAMENT CHI TOWNES His first step was to find Loyola. Now he’s ready to lead Ramblers on another magical March.

By Shannon Ryan | Chicago Tribune

arques Townes walked around the edges of the Gentile Arena court, high-fiving fans as team tradition dic- tates. A fan stopped him and said, “Here, I want you to wear this,” as she put a Mmaroon-and-gold-striped scarf around his neck. Townes made his way to center court with his teammates to celebrate Loyola’s second straight Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title and stepped to the microphone to address the crowd. The senior guard dabbed his eyes with the scarf, soaking in his final game on campus. “We’re not done yet,” he said. Townes — who was named the conference’s player of the year Tuesday — has been playing like someone trying to make the most of his remaining time. He has been a beacon of consistency in an inconsistent season for the Ramblers, who begin their postseason encore to last year’s Final Four run with the Valley tournament this week in St. Louis.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL BEARS One more kicker put in the mix Ex-Pitt star Blewitt signed after tryout at Halas Hall

By Brad Biggs | Chicago Tribune

The Bears’ search for a kicker contin- ued Wednesday at Halas Hall with the second known group tryout, and former University of Pittsburgh kicker Chris Blewitt emerged from the pack. Blewitt, a free agent without NFL experience, won Jamie Kohl’s field-goal competition last month in Phoenix, and the Bears announced Wednesday eve- ning they signed him to a contract. The highlight of Blewitt’s college career came as a senior in 2016 when his 48-yarder in the final seconds lifted the Panthers to a 43-42 victory over second- ranked and eventual national champion Clemson. He went to camp with the Steelers in 2017 but has been looking to land a job since, and the Bears were interested after he performed well at Kohl’s camp. Blewitt kicked for four seasons at Pitt, making 10 of 17 field goals in his senior year. His best season came as a freshman BRETT CARLSEN/GETTY in 2013, when he made 14 of 18.

PHILADELPHIA — The god- father of NCAA tournament pro- jections is courtside, coolly check- ing the pings on his phone before saddling up for his ESPN broad- cast duties. He has just crafted his first in-season men’s basketball bracket projection on this Novem- ber evening, revealing to his legion of followers which 68 teams he predicts will fight it out for four tickets to Minneapolis in April. This is serious stuff — “Who’s in?!” “Who’s out?!” — as sports debates go, but Joe Lunardi is stressing more about St. Joseph’s vs. Illinois-Chicago. His laptop is closed and his phone is on mute. ”Joey Brackets“ right now is Administrator Joe. Lunardi doubles as the St. Jo- seph’s director of marketing for athletics. He bounces between greeting Hawks fans and checking in on several pregame scenes. The gameday production crew in- cludes his youngest daughter, Elizabeth, who transferred from Hofstra last year to be closer to her father. Lunardi, the man behind brack- etology, may seem part machine to sports fans — spitting out projec- tions at high speed for millions to scour and debate. The truth is he is a husband and father of two daughters, a key university offi- cial, a media personality, as well as an architect of brackets. Away from Philadelphia and St. Joseph’s, the Lunardi name for nearly two decades has been attached to the process and debate around predicting which teams will form March Madness. Fans and followers anxiously wait for his picks, often with red pens in hand. “I usually tweet my bracket before the game and don’t look at it for two hours,” said the 58-year- old Philadelphia native. “Then, I get home and people tell me how much I screwed up.” Before they split for their pregame duties, Lunardi hugs Elizabeth and gives her a package at the scorer’s table. It’s an Ariana Grande T-shirt he ordered for her, for an upcoming concert. “Love you, Dad,” she says. “Have a good game.” Just Joe Lunardi’s projected field gets updated daily on his laptop, re- gardless of whether it’s posted online. His master Microsoft Excel spreadsheet resembles the tour- nament selection committee’s cheat sheets, complete with the new-for-2019 analytics. Any time Lunardi peels off a fact for a tweet, it spreads across college basket- ball nation. Long before Twitter, ESPN knew it had something with Lunardi’s first bracket page in 2002. It received hundreds of CHRIS SZAGOLA/CAL SPORT MEDIA thousands of hits within an hour. Former St. John’s coach Steve Lavin has a word with Joe Lunardi before a game against Villanova in 2011 in Philadelphia. He then made his on-air debut.

HE’S OLD SCHOOL Cardinals QB still intends to get degree By Ben Bolch | Los Angeles Times

ootball or school? School or football? For three years, Josh Rosen felt like he was being torn between two great loves. “You can’t put F as much into one thing as you want,” Rosen said, “and I felt like I was shortchanging football a little bit by giving school so much time.” That didn’t stop the quarterback from starring in both endeavors during his time at UCLA, becoming the school’s single-season passing leader in 2017 and a five-time member of the athletic director’s honor roll. The division of labor is easier these days. Rosen has gone on to the NFL, recently completing his rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals, but he’s not neglecting that other love. Rosen has fully devoted himself to his schoolwork after returning to UCLA in January to take three classes toward his undergraduate degree in economics. The plan is to take the balance of classes he needs next winter, allowing him to walk with several friends during graduation ceremonies in the spring of 2020. It will be the end of one era just as Rosen continues the early stages of what he hopes is a lengthy professional football career. “I just never in my life imagined not graduating college,” Rosen said, “so I feel like it’s kind of my obligation to my parents almost to give them a degree in return for everything they’ve given me.” Rosen isn’t the only familiar face strolling campus this quarter. Marcedes Lewis, the John Mackey Award-winning tight end at UCLA who has spent 12 of his 13 NFL seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, is also back working toward his degree, a 34-year-old intermingling with classmates who might confuse him with one of their professors were he not 6 feet 6 and 267 pounds. Both players have returned as part of the Bruin Varsity Club’s degree completion program, which helps the school’s former athletes come back to obtain their diplomas. Provided the athletes’ professional contract doesn’t include tuition reimbursement, UCLA foots the roughly $4,800 quarterly bill for tuition, books and fees (plus an additional $9,700 for those who live out of state) as well as housing costs for those who have not gone on to make millions in a pro league. UCLA also provides tutorial support, academic counseling and access to its learning center, giving returning athletes the same services that the school’s current student-athletes receive. Christina Rivera, the UCLA senior associate athletic director who oversees the program, said 51 athletes have returned to work toward their degrees since 2016. Their ranks include former NFL running back Paul Perkins, retired MLS star Kevin Hartman, Olympic water polo gold medalist Samantha Hill and professional golfer Bronte Law. Scores of baseball players have come back, fulfilling coach John Savage’s recruiting edict that anyone who plays for him will eventually return to get his degree. Mattie Larson, a former U.S. champion in the floor exercise who says that she was one of the Larry Nassar abuse victims, returned to obtain her degree after her ordeal had forced her to abandon her studies. The length of time it takes a returning athlete to complete his or her degree depends on more than the number of classes needed; it also hinges on availability amid a busy schedule. Most of Rosen’s time is consumed by his NFL season, organized team activities and training camp, leaving the 11-week winter quarter as the best option to squeeze in schoolwork. “Quarters are short,” Rosen said, “so it’s not like I need to give a big offseason to it.” Rosen has resumed student life beyond the classroom, sitting courtside at a few men’s basketball games and hanging out at the five- bedroom apartment he used to share with teammates Matt Lynch and Ethan Fernea, who will play for the Bruins next season. Rosen has his own short-term lease in an off-campus apartment, where he busies himself with his studies. He’s taking Econometrics, Monetary Policy and Money and Banking, learning about interest rates, the bond market and international exchange. He said he had forgotten how much effort was needed to do well in a class. “It’s hard to study for a test and be like, ‘I only need a C or a B,’ ” Rosen said. “If you’re going to study your (butt) off and you’re going to try to get as high a score as you can, you usually will end up with a C or a B at a school like this, so there’s no like more or less incentive in these classes. I’m still studying as much as I did when I was here.” Rosen’s presence has predictably generated a few stares from students wondering why a top-10 NFL draft pick is strolling Bruin Walk with a backpack slung over his shoulder, but there hasn’t been any discernible reaction among his professors. “I don’t think any of my teachers know much about football,” Rosen said. “Pretty much every teacher I have is foreign, and UCLA’s a brilliant mix of minds from all over the world.” Come April, Rosen will head back to Phoenix to learn the offensive language of new Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury. He’s coming off a rookie season in which he took over as the starter in the season’s fourth game and completed 55.2 percent of his passes for 2,278 yards with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. The number that most irritated Rosen was the Cardinals’ 3-13 record. It made a player known for his outspokenness on social issues feel like not saying all that much. “If you win three games and you have 16 opportuni- ties,” Rosen said, “the last thing (fans) want to hear is about your opinions on like, I don’t know, climate change, stuff like that, so you’ve got to walk the line a little bit. The audience is bigger but you’ve just got to kind of know your time and place. Your primary job is to be a football player and you’ve got to accomplish that task before you go out and do anything else, really.” Getting a UCLA degree might enhance Rosen’s chances of becoming the next Bruin whose name is synonymous with not only athletic greatness but meaningful social change. “I’m not going to even mention my own name in the breath of these guys,” Rosen said, “but you sort of go to this school in the shadows of some of the most famously politically active in history from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Bill Walton to Arthur Ashe, so it’s got some high standards to live up to, so hopefully one block at a time. But I just like learning new things, new people and for the rest of my life I want to travel and do all that, so this is just a cool opportunity to learn.”

Kelly: ‘I’m not Lucifer’ R&B singer denies sex abuse charges in new TV interview By Tracy Swartz Chicago Tribune

In his first TV interview since being charged with sexual abuse last month, embattled R&B singer R. Kelly angrily denied accusa- tions that he has had sex with underage girls and holds women against their will. “I didn’t do this stuff! This is not me! I’m fighting for my (ex- pletive) life!” Kelly told “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King. “Y’all killing me with this (ex- pletive). I gave you all 30 years of my (expletive) career! Thirty years of my career! And y’all trying to kill me. You killing me, man. “This is not about music. I’m trying to have a relationship with my kids, and I can’t do it. Y’all just don’t want to believe the truth.” The first part of the interview, which was taped Tuesday in Chi- cago, aired Wednesday on “CBS This Morning.” More footage is scheduled to air Thursday on the CHRIS SWEDA/CHICAGO TRIBUNE morning show.

RECORDINGS Solange puts mood ahead of songs on ‘When I Get Home’ By Greg Kot Chicago Tribune

“I saw things I imag- ined,” Solange sounds like she’s waking from a dream as she murmurs at the outset of “When I Get Home” (Columbia). And then later, another vision appears: “Brown skin, brown face, black skin, black braids.” In contrast to the politi- cal, personal and social specificity of the singer- producer-songwriter’s landmark 2016 release, “A Seat at the Table,” her fourth album favors ambi- ance, texture, dreaminess. Ostensibly inspired by Solange’s hometown of Houston (the album in- cludes references to loca- JOSH SISK/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST tions, scenes and person- Solange performs at Broccoli City Festival in Washington, alities in the city), the D.C., in 2017. album presents a far more ambiguous notion of blend with the interludes “home” in the free-floating to create a continuous songs. They suggest that mood piece designed to be home is less a location than absorbed in one 38-minute a state of mind. In that listen. In contrast to the sense, the album joins the more traditional song long line of Afro-futuristic structures and insinuating releases by everyone from melodies on “A Seat at the Sun Ra to Janelle Monae Table,” the new album and their depiction of a lacks a signature tune.

At Prickly City By Scott Stantis trick two, he led the jack of hearts from his hand. Should either opponent win this with the king, the queen of hearts would be an entry for the ace of diamonds. Should the opponent with the king duck this trick, declarer would have an overtrick on this lie of the cards. He would cash the ace of hearts and ruff a heart, and then discard a loser on the ace of diamonds. This line of play would succeed whenever the missing hearts divided 4-3 — the percentage split, plus the slight extra chance the person with a doubleton heart also had no more trumps. It would also work when West started with doubletons in both majors. West could prevent the first heart ruff but not the second. Nice play!
