  12-04-2019 23:57
  
  All those gleaming blank walls going up in Lake Forest’s new civic center.
  The city doesn’t want them to be plain or boring, but while there are a lot of skills city staffers have running the local government, interior decorator isn’t among of them.

  For Malmon, who later learned how deeply her brother had struggled with mental illness during his four years in college, facilitating open conversations about mental illness and suicide on high school and college campuses became a life goal.

  No, really. He quit Tuesday night. No Laker official has appeared in public since.
  Actually, Johnson made the front office disappear years ago, rarely appearing at the Laker facility or doing much of anything in the day-to-day operation.
