The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

CELEBRITY REPORT Singer Nelson to release 70th studio album in April Willie Nelson will release his 70th studio album, “First Rose of Spring,” on April 24, just five days ahead of his 87th birthday. It’s an 11-track collection that includes two songs he wrote with the album’s pro ducer, Buddy Cannon, and others written by peers and admirers including Chris Stapleton, Randy Houser, Billy Joe Shaver and Toby Keith. “First Rose of Spring” also features his renditions of Johnny Paycheck’s 1977 country hit “I’m the Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised” and the cabaret-pop clas sic “Yesterday When I Was Young (Hier Encore),” originally popularized in 1964 by French singer Charles Aznavour before Roy Clark’s English-language version became the country-singer guitarist’s big gest hit in 1969. The title track is the first release from the album, and the video is out now. The songs Nelson wrote with Cannon are titled “Blue Star” and “Love Just Laughed.” The new album also is the 14th from Nelson since he signed with Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings division in 2012. The previous two, “Ride Me Back Home” in 2019 and “My Way” a year earlier, both earned Nelson additional Grammy Awards, for country solo performance and traditional pop solo album, respectively. Singer Lambert when ill: ‘If I can’t be great, I would rather wait’ When it comes to winning streaks, Miranda Lambert has a track record worth boasting about. Each of the seven albums she has released since her 2005 breakthrough, “Kerosene,” entered the Billboard Top Country Album Charts at No. 1, and one of them, 2014’s “Platinum,” earned her the second of her two Grammy Awards. Named the Recording Industry Associa tion of America’s 2019 Artist of the Year, Lambert has also won 13 Country Music Association awards and nine Academy of Country Music Lemale Vocalist of the Year awards. But years of stardom and growing suc cess don’t make an artist immune from the same everyday pressures and maladies as their fans or anyone else, especially when it comes to getting ill. The key difference is that when Lambert recently came down with a very bad cold — midway through her ongoing 2020 “Wildcard” winter tour — it adversely impacted her band, her road crew, her bank balance and thou sands of fans. “I recently had to cancel a few shows, which is rare and absolutely breaks my heart,” said the veteran vocal dynamo and songwriter, who conducted this interview via email after her doctor instructed her to cancel her phone interviews. “When your voice goes, there is no backup,” Lambert continued. “It just stops the train from rolling. I take pretty good care of myself, especially while on tour, because a lot rides on being healthy.” But no amount of enthusiasm from her fans can convince her to do a substandard show, as the Texas-bred Lambert is quick to acknowledge. “If I can’t be great, I would rather wait and come back when I can be,” she said. “People spend hard-earned money to come see us play, and I owe it to everyone — including my band, crew and myself — to show up and be 100 percent. Not every night is perfect. And those shows where I don’t feel like I delivered properly really push me to try harder. The good news is we play a lot, so there is always room for improvement.” Tribune News Service TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1732, the first president of the United States, George Wash ington, was born in Westmoreland County in the Virginia Colony. In 1857, Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, was born in London. In 1924, Calvin Coolidge delivered the first presidential radio broadcast from the White House. In 1935, it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House. In 1984, David Vetter, a 12-year-old Texas boy who’d spent most of his life in a plastic bubble because he had no immu nity to disease, died 15 days after being removed from the bubble for a bone-marrow transplant. In 1980, the “Miracle on Ice” took place in Lake Placid, New York, as the United States Olympic hockey team upset the Soviets, 4-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.) In 1987, pop artist Andy Warhol died at a New York City hospi tal at age 58. In 1997, scientists in Scotland announced they had suc ceeded in cloning an adult mammal, producing a lamb named “Dolly.” (Dolly, however, was later put down after a short life marred by premature aging and disease.)

No need to pump iron or drag a tire to get strong. It looks so much cooler to do something ordi nary with great strength and poise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Fantastic gifts don’t always come wrapped in pretty paper with a bow on top. To know you’re getting some thing good even when the indicators are mixed — this is the art and talent you’ll have today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can turn a person off by meet ing them in that headstrong “I’m a lot and SO interested in you” way. Since you’re being bothered and feeling experi mental, you may as well give the strategy a try. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Questions can be kind or they can be invasive. You know what to answer and what to avoid. More importantly, you know what to ask to open doors. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The minute you feel pressure, you know that you have power. Otherwise, why would they have to assert themselves like this? Step back. Accept pres sure from no one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Before you go to the store or sign up for a class or throw money at the situation, consider that maybe what’s needed is another way of thinking about what’s going on here. How else can you see it? LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Take it slow and calm. Your safety and well-being are your No. 1 priority. Don’t let the excite ment of new responsibilities, people and circumstances overshadow that. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Every stage and room of life is different. What plays well on one doesn’t look so great on another. There are matters of scale and light to consider. Get help setting things up. Another eye on the thing won’t be a bad idea. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are things you have but no longer need and other things you need but you don’t have. It’s time to get rid of the excess to make room for the new. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Casual situations will suit you, and you’ll appreciate how you can discover and be yourself without the pressure of need ing to pretend or perform. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Though some will protest, you don’t owe anyone your atten tion. Beautiful things happen when you give your attention only as you want to give it, without obligation or guilt. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As beautiful, ornate or gilded as a room may be, if you can’t get out when you want to, it’s still a cage. It’s a day to test and protect your freedom.
