Good morning, Chicago.

Sister Jean of Loyola University, who stands atop Chicago’s A-list of celebrity clergy, waited until she was 103 to write her memoir.

Clearly, she didn’t take the advice packed into its title: “Wake Up With Purpose! What I’ve Learned in My First Hundred Years,” out Feb. 28. Clearly, what she learned in her first hundred years was how to procrastinate.

Certainly, she’s not alone in waiting until later in life to write a book. Laura Ingalls Wilder waited until her 60s before writing her first “Little House” novel. And Norman Maclean waited until his 70s, after retiring from the University of Chicago, before he wrote his first book, “A River Runs Through It.”

The Tribune’s Christopher Borrelli recently spoke with Sister Jean. He asked about her century-long case of writer’s block. Sister Jean said, in fact, she really had been too busy to think about writing a book.

In 2018, when she became a ubiquitous media darling just as her beloved Loyola Ramblers men’s basketball team reached the Final Four, several publishers approached her. She was busy. But now that she has written a book (with sports journalist Seth Davis), “it’s really been the busiest time of my life.”

Lately, she’s blessing all of the dorms. She’s talking to “Access Hollywood,” NPR and “Good Morning America.” And that’s beside her main focus: The Ramblers’ season.

She said this with her signature twinkle.

Former Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy vowed before crowds of police officers and other mourners at United Missionary Baptist Church to bring slain Chicago police Officer Clifton Lewis’ killers to justice. His promise drew loud claps at the otherwise solemn ceremony.

But after more than a decade, justice appears elusive.

In an election destined to be defined by new City Council representatives taking over in many Chicago wards, longtime West Side aldermen are looking to buck the turnover trend and keep their seats.

It’s certain that 16 aldermen who were elected in 2019 will not join the new council in May, thanks to several retirements, a handful opting to run for other offices and one forced out when he was convicted of federal tax crimes. Several other incumbents on the 50-member council are in tough reelection fights.

Although home prices soared over the last two years and mortgage rates have doubled since the start of 2022, Cook County rents have risen so much over the same time frame that some longtime renters are swapping their leases for mortgages.

They’re finding help through down payment assistance and educational programs, many of which are geared toward Black and brown communities that have historically been denied equal access to homeownership.
