IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

LAS VEGAS – The selection show for the NCAA Tournament took more than hour to reveal the 68 teams in the bracket.

That made for a lot of agonizing as teams waited to see where and when they were going to play – or if they were in at all. The delay was worth it.

After a regular season filled with parity and great performances, this year’s NCAA Tournament is shaping up to be one to remember, filled with great matchups and quite a few surprises.

Kansas, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia are the top seeds in this year’s tournament, which gets underway Tuesday. Story page B4

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Authorities say two people have been stabbed with a barbecue grilling fork after an argument in South Carolina.

Myrtle Beach police tell local media outlets they responded to a stabbing call at just before 1 a.m. Saturday.

Two people told police one of them was trying to calm a man down after a fight when he bit the other on the face. They say the man then grabbed a large barbecue grilling fork and that a prong went all the way through a woman’s hand. The other person was stabbed in the neck, according to the report. Further details weren’t immediately available.

Police say they arrested a man and took him to jail, awaiting warrants. It wasn’t known if he had an attorney.

EFFECTS OF UNFUNDED GRANTS State budget impasse jeopardizes MAP grants for MCC students

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com While state legislators have been disagreeing on ways to address an unfunded college grant program – one more quandary born of the ongoing budget standoff – at least one McHenry County student was figuring out how to stay in school despite the loss of that money.

Angela Clemons, 41, of Marengo attends McHenry County College with hopes of achieving a degree in horticulture and, one day, opening her own flower shop.

Her ability to go to school, and her

ability to send her 20-year-old daughter to school, has depended heavily on the Monetary Award Program.

“I was still eligible [last semester], but didn’t get one and almost couldn’t come back,” Clemons said. “My first reaction [after being told MAP grant funds were not coming], was to ask what we could do.”

Administered by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, the program provides grants to Illinois residents who demonstrate financial need based on information on their Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. Like several other state-funded

programs, the fate of MAP grants was jeopardized this school year because of the state’s inability to pass a budget.

Legislation that could have appropriated funds to the program was vetoed in February by Gov. Bruce Rauner, who said the bill could “explode the state’s budget deficit,” and an attempt to overturn his veto failed in the state House of Representatives two weeks ago.

Receiving a federal Pell grant and two horticulture scholarships allowed Clemons to return for the fall semester this year, and she was able to buy her required books with the $108 leftover from the Pell grant.

Had the funds come through, Clem-

ons would have been one of roughly 125,000 students across Illinois to receive a MAP grant, ISAC Spokeswoman Lynne Baker said. Last year, more than $357 million was divvied among about 128,000 students.

“This delay is probably unprecedented,” Baker said, later adding, “It’s a challenge for schools because MAP dollars are paid directly to schools on behalf of students for tuition and fees.

“There are some schools that have more MAP students than other schools, so that could be a fairly sizable portion of their tuition and fees.”

LOCAL BRIEFS Electrical fire damages house, officials say

ALGONQUIN – No one was injured in an electrical fire at an Algonquin house on Saturday night, fire officials said.

Algonquin-Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District was dispatched at 10:29 p.m. for a reported structure fire at 11962 Kingston Place, according to a news release from the district.

When crews arrived on the scene at 10:32 p.m., smoke was showing from the roof of the two-story home and all occupants were out of the home.

The homeowner told firefighters a bathroom exhaust fan was burning in an upstairs bathroom.

The fire was declared out at 10:42 p.m. Crews remained on scene until midnight and determined the fire was electrical, according to the release.

Two cats were also unharmed in the fire.

JIM SCHOLTZ n WHO IS HE? Jim Scholtz, McHenry Public Library executive director and longtime barbershop quartet singer n FAMILY: Wife, Suzi, two grown sons, one grandson n FAVORITE COMPOSER: Franz Schubert and Edvard Grieg n FAVORITE FOOD: Beef and noodles over mashed potatoes

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com McHENRY – McHenry Public Library Executive Director Jim Scholtz fell in love with barbershop quartet music on a lark.

He had been singing in school and church choir his whole life, and was a fixture in school musicals. But a group of adult friends in his church came up one

short for a quartet that would be singing on an old-time radio show in Freeport and asked him if he could sing tenor.

He agreed, and the rest is four-part harmony history.

When he’s not singing with his current group, the Clef Hangers – he has been singing barbershop since 1985 – he plays tennis and gives lessons, courtesy of his time as a professional tennis player.

Senior reporter Kevin Craver, whose knowledge of barbershop consists of the literal act of going to Slim’s in Crystal Lake and getting a haircut, talked to Scholtz about his hobbies and his career.

Scholtz: Sometimes barbershop music can get pretty boring. I’m a music composition major – barbershop music has the “mini-sevens,” meaning a large percentage of the song has diminished seventh [chords], so a lot of it sounds alike.

Valentine’s Day – you get in a car and roam around the Chicago and Wisconsin area with three of your best buds and sing and bring joy to people. That’s pretty cool. Also, barbershop music has really close harmonies and it’s a cappella. If you’re bad, everyone knows you’re bad right away.

I just like the camaraderie, that style of music and the close harmonies.

also a member at the Crystal Lake Racquet Club.

Craver: What groups are you in?

Scholtz: I was in a group in 2014 called

Tribute. We were the senior district champions for the Illinois Barbershop Harmony Society. We disbanded.

Craver: Darned Yoko Ono. Scholtz: [Laughs] And then I was in

another group called Implied Harmony.

I’m with the Clef Hangers now. I’ve been singing with them for about five years.

Craver: What is it about barbershop that you like so much?

Craver: I heard you used to play profesScholtz: As an example, we do singing sional tennis.

Scholtz: Yes. I still give lessons. I’m valentines for two or three days around

Craver: A lot of it sounds pretty similar.

Craver: How far did you get?

Scholtz: I played on the pro tour,

mostly on the challenger event, but I’ve been beaten by some very famous people like Boris Becker and Andre Agassi.

Brad Gilbert said I had the best 48-mph serve he ever saw, but I beat him.

New principal approved for 2016-17 McHenry woman joins Indian Prairie Elementary School

By ALLISON GOODRICH agoodrich@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Students at Indian Prairie Elementary School next school year will be met by a new principal after the Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board recently approved a McHenry woman for the job.

The board on Monday gave unanimous approval to hire Jodie Moss to take over for Jim Kelley, who has served as principal at Indian Prairie for 22 years, District 47 spokeswoman Denise Barr said in a news release.

Moss, who will begin July 1, will be coming from East Elementary in Zion, where she has served as prin-

cipal since 2008. Before that, she was an assistant principal at Leggee Elementary School in Huntley. Her career began as a first-grade teacher in North Chicago before she served as a reading teacher and reading coach in Lake Forest and Grayslake.

She will bring 21 years of experience in education to the job, Barr said.

Moss earned her bachelor’s degree from Lake Forest College, a master’s degree from Jodie Moss National St. Louis University, and her administrative certification from Dominican University.

She is a certified reading recovery

teacher and has an endorsement for English as a second language.

“Jodie’s leadership skills and breadth of experience in education, both as a former teacher and administrator, will enable her to carry on the tradition of excellence at Indian Prairie,” Superintendent Kathy Hinz said in a statement.

Moss said she was looking forward to next school year, when she can meet everyone at the school.

“It is clear that Indian Prairie is a truly special place with a dedicated staff and involved families,” she said.

“I am excited to join such a wonderful educational institution.”

Moss lives in McHenry with her husband and son.

• GRANTS

Continued from page A3 Last school year at MCC, about 8 percent of the average student population received a total of $483,259 through the program while roughly 10 percent of students at Elgin Community College received a total of $988,163, according to ISAC data.

While MAP-eligible students represent a minority, ECC Managing Director of Student Financial Services Kim Wagner said the loss of that money can be a big deal depending on a student’s circumstances.

“On an individual basis, a student receiving the MAP grant [also] typically receives the Pell Grant,” Wagner said. “MAP pays for tuition ... then Pell pays for books, supplies, child care, transportation ... so from a student’s perspective, without MAP, the Pell Grant will have to step up and fund those other charges.”

ECC this year opted to pick up the cost of MAP payouts, which came with a pricetag of about $800,000, Wagner said.

MCC chose not to do so, and Spokeswoman Christina Haggerty said the decision stemmed from the college’s assessment that MAP

students would likely receive other funding and financial aid.

The MCC student government before the governor’s veto collected about 500 signatures on a petition to send to Springfield, and Student Government President Hanna Passarella said efforts will continue as the budget impasse enters its ninth month.

“Each and every person who wants to be a student should have the rights to pursue that, and ...

MAP grant funding allows some of our community members to be students,” Passarella said in an email.

Clemons, whose fibromyalgia has prevented steady employment, said getting this degree and working toward her own business could eventually mean a work schedule flexible to her condition. Knowing firsthand how the lack of MAP funding can cut into such plans, she has gotten involved in student government efforts, attending meetings and educating herself about the program.

This week, the group plans to put pictures of affected students together in a collage that will be sent to legislators.

“I rely on these grants highly for both me and my daughter,” Clemons said, later adding, “Going to school is the only thing that will allow me to get a job.”

• SCHOLTZ

Continued from page A4 Craver: So how did you get into the realm of overdue library books?

Scholtz: My mom was a library director. I went to a community college, so when I went to a larger school and found the library had six floors, I took an orientation class. I double majored in library science and music. After I got out of school, I had a job at Farm and Fleet until a job opened up at Highland College for the library. I took it for a lot less money, but that enabled me to be a tennis coach and assistant basketball coach as well, and they paid for me to get my master’s degree in library science from NIU.

There’s a song called “Mood Indigo” that the Clef Hangers do. I think that’s my favorite, but I also like “Cruising Down the River” and “Sentimental Journey.”

Letters are being delivered to the affected homes Sunday night, Mullard said. The boil order is expected to be lifted within 48 hours.

Bagdikian mourned as ‘a major figure’ in journalism

By MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Tributes and remembrances for Ben H. Bagdikian came flooding in Saturday following the death of the renowned reporter and media critic who was a passionate voice for journalistic integrity.

“Ben was a major figure in 20th century U.S. journalism and journalism education, and we’re all his beneficiaries,” wrote Dean Edward Wasserman of the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.

Bagdikian, who helped publish the Pentagon Papers and wrote the groundbreaking book “The Media Monopoly,” died Friday morning at his home in Berkeley, California, said his wife, Marlene Griffith Bagdikian.

Facebook was filled with former colleagues and students mourning the loss, including Todd Gitlin, a professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University, who had this comment: “Ben was a wonderful man. All of us who loved him have to step up our decency now.”

Bagdikian’s five-decade career in journalism included covering the civil rights struggle in America and riding with an Israeli tank crew during the Suez crisis.

In 1953, he and other reporters on the Providence Journal in Rhode Island shared a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of a bank robbery and police chase. He also held a Peabody Award for broadcast commentary.

In the 1970s, while serving as ombudsman for the Washington Post, he posed as a convicted murderer to get inside a Pennsylvania maximum-security prison for articles about problems and abuses in the prison system.

Bagdikian once said he had spent most of his career “exposing the neglected suffering of others.”

In the 1970s, he obtained the Pentagon Papers – a secret history of U.S. strategy and involvement in Vietnam – for the Washington Post from leaker Daniel Ellsberg. Published revelations in the Post and the New York Times helped bolster opposition to the Vietnam War. “When you were confronted by a publisher who was scared, or had turned hostile, or a powerful institution that wanted to squash you, Ben would volunteer without hesitation to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

His example lives on,” wrote UC Berkeley professor Lowell Bergman.

In 1976 Bagdikian joined the journalism faculty at the UC Berkeley. He later became dean of the graduate school of journalism, retiring in 1990.

Bagdikian perhaps was best-known for his media commentary and criticism. In 1983, he published “The Media Monopoly,” which criticized the impact on journalism of mergers that were consolidating broadcast outlets and newspapers in the hands of giant corporations.

It went through numerous editions, including a 2004 update in which Bagdikian declared that a handful of corporations now had more control of communications “than was exercised by any despot or dictatorship in history.”

“That book, and its subsequent editions, re-energized a whole tradition of critical coverage of the media business,” Wasserman wrote. “It inspired a generation of journalists and progressive scholars to look with fresh interest at the chilling consequences of concentrated corporate control of news and entertainment.

Johnny Otis and swing-band leader Lionel Hampton. She performed at the presidential inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Childhood friend and producer Quincy Jones once described her voice as the sound of “honey at dusk.”

Anderson, who was born in Houston to a construction worker and homemaker, began singing in church when she was 3 years old. She won a talent contest when she was 12 and sang at Houston’s Eldorado Ballroom once a week for about four months.

Her family moved to Seattle in 1944 where she attended Garfield High School and began singing with the Bumps Blackwell Junior Band, featuring Jones, saxophonist Buddy Catlett

and others. She left home at 18 to hit the road with Otis’ band.

She recorded her first single “K.C. Lover/Good Lovin’ Babe” in 1948 and also married for the first time.

Over the decades, she moved between Los Angeles, New York and Europe but often returned to Seattle.

While in New York, Anderson recorded with Jones, Russell Jacquet, tenor saxophonist Clifford “King” Solomon and others, the newspaper reported.

Frustrated with her slow career growth in New York, Anderson joined Swedish bandleader Rolf Ericson to tour Europe. While there, she recorded an album, “Hot Cargo,” that was later released by Mercury Records in

1958 to rave reviews.

Time Magazine at the time called her “the best-kept jazz secret in the land” and critics of the country’s leading jazz magazine, Down Beat, celebrated her as a “new star” of the year, The Seattle Times reported.

Anderson released six albums on Mercury Records, including the muchpraised “Moanin,’ ” but her career subsided in the 1960s. In 1966, she returned to Seattle from London and quit singing.

She re-emerged, however, in the 1970s and signed with the Concord Jazz label. Anderson released “Hello, Like Before” in 1977. More than a dozen albums followed over the next 15 years.

Politics hasn’t changed over time If you think this year’s presidential election is crazy, take a look back at history.

The election of 1836 was, well, weird. The Whig party decided to run four presidential candidates simultaneously in different parts of the country: Daniel Webster in Massachusetts, William Henry Harrison in the remaining northern and border states, Hugh White in the middle and lower South and Willie Mangum in South Carolina.

While the strategy failed to dissuade voters in those regions from voting for incumbent Vice President Martin Van Buren, it did succeed in dissipating voter support.

Had the 187,308 votes cast for various other Whig candidates gone to Harrison, the race may have gone down to the wire. As it was, Van Buren captured 170 electoral votes to his opponents’ 124, and the Democrats claimed their third consecutive presidential victory.

For the record, just under 55 percent of Illinois voters supported Van Buren.

McHenry County had been split off from Cook County earlier that year, so its first election here did not occur until June 1, 1837. It was conducted at the home of Hiram Kennecott, near Half Day (now located in Lake County) and resulted in Charles H. Bartlett, Mathias Mason and Solomon Norton becoming the first county commissioners. The county’s first sheriff, coroner, recorder and surveyor also were elected.

In 1838, the county chose its first representative to the Legislature, electing Democrat Dr. Richard Murphy over Whig Giles Spring by a wide margin. On Feb. 6, 1843, the state Legislature created a framework for citizens to vote.

The Republican Party, which included some Whig refugees, ran its first presidential campaign in 1856, choosing noted Western explorer John

LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka C. Frémont. The fact he lacked any political record was viewed as a plus.

Sound familiar?

Frémont crusaded against slavery, while Democrat James Buchanan warned the Republicans were extremists whose victory would lead to civil war. His party endorsed the moderate “popular sovereignty” approach to slavery expansion utilized in the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The American Party, or Know Nothings, nominated former president Millard Fillmore. The Know Nothings chose to ignore slavery and focus on immigration. Then, like now, some feared immigrants – who were willing to work for less – were taking jobs away from red-blooded Americans.

Others feared the newcomers simply because they looked, talked and worshiped differently. And those attitudes fueled “nativism,” a belief that only native-born or established citizens should have a voice in public affairs.

No one talked about building walls, but you get the idea.

Forty percent of Illinois voters supported Fremont, including what one newspaper account claimed was a “rousing majority” in McHenry County.

The 1885 McHenry County history book states: “The county was solidly Democratic from its infancy until 1856, when the impending crisis changed the majority to the Republican side, where it has since remained.”

County records do not disclose what the aforementioned “crisis” was, but local historian Craig Pfannkuche believes the “Panic of 1857” was the culprit. A declining international

economy and over-expansion of the domestic economy prompted banks to close and made it impossible for local farmers to get loans they needed for 1857-59 planting seasons, he said.

Woodstock Reference Librarian Kirk Dawdy noted streets around the Square are named after national Democratic figures, but when migration patterns changed – with settlers coming via the Erie Canal and Great Lakes rather than from the South – so did their political leanings.

The Woodstock Sentinel reported: “The Democrats on the receipt of the news of Buchanan’s election, decided to have a celebration and brought out the old ‘Woodstock cannon’ which figured very prominently in many a political celebration in the old time.

By some mismanagement the canon was prematurely discharged and Orson Bates was so badly injured as to require amputation of the right arm above the elbow and the left hand above the wrist. He was in the act of ramming down the charge and received it full in his arm and hand.”

Bates died the following day.

Another tragic death followed the Republican National Convention of 1880. When the party convened in Chicago in June of that year, the three strongest candidates – which emerged from 14 nominees – included former President Ulysses Grant, Maine Sen. James Blaine and Treasury Secretary John Sherman of Ohio.

Sherman’s campaign manager, James Garfield, who served nine terms in the U.S. House, delivered a stirring nomination speech for his friend. Still, none of the three men in contention could muster the necessary support after six days.

On the 34th ballot, Wisconsin cast 16 votes for Garfield. On the next ballot, Blaine and Sherman switched their support to this new “dark horse” candi-

date, and Garfield received 50 votes. On the 36th ballot Garfield, who had been elected to the U.S. Senate just prior to the convention, received 399 votes – 93 more than Grant.

Garfield went on to defeat Union Gen. Winfield S. Hancock by 7,368 votes – one of the tightest elections on record. Garfield, who mustered only 48.3 percent of the popular vote, carried Illinois with 51.1 percent. However, while he and his Democratic rival each carried 19 states, Garfield mustered stronger support in the Electoral College.

Perhaps President Garfield, who was assassinated a mere 100 days after he assumed office, had it right on that June day in 1880 standing before the throng inside Chicago’s Interstate Exposition Building: “Not here, in this brilliant circle, where 15,000 men and women are gathered, is the destiny of the Republic to be decreed for the next four years.

Not here, where I see the enthusiastic faces of 756 delegates, waiting to cast their lots into the urn and determine the choice of the Republic, but by four millions of Republican firesides, where the thoughtful voters, with wives and children about them, with the calm thoughts inspired by love of home and country, with the history of the past, the hopes of the future, and reverence for the great men who have adorned and blessed our nation in days gone by, burning in their hearts, there God prepares the verdict which will determine the wisdom of our work tonight. Not in Chicago, in the heat of June, but at the ballot-boxes of the Republic, in the quiet of November, after the silence of deliberate judgment, will this question be settled.”

STATE

State lawmakers believe they may keep their records secret

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Chicago Democrat Michael Madigan is known as a tireless worker – the nation’s longest-serving statehouse speaker, chairman of the Illinois Democratic Party, kingmaker and career-breaker – and he does it all without the aid of email or an appointment calendar.

That is one extraordinary fact turned up by an Associated Press public-records request of the General Assembly’s leaders in advance of Sunshine Week. The other is that the Illinois Senate considers itself immune under the state Constitution from having to turn over records.

The AP submitted such requests to legislative leaders in all 50 states for daily schedules and emails from government accounts for the week of Feb. 1 to 7. In Illinois, which was the last state in the U.S. to adopt an open-records law, the effort produced nothing, for these reasons: •••

LAWMAKERS AREN’T ‘PUBLIC BODIES’

Individual legislators are not considered “public bodies” under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act because they cannot alone pull the levers of government like, say, the governor, who discloses his appointment calendars.

But there are nuances in key court cases on the issue and advocates say transparency is just good government.

The Secret Service and the Cleveland Police keep a close watch as Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally Saturday at the I-X Center in Cleveland.

Trump stands by his campaign rhetoric

By BILL BARROW and ALAN SCHER The Associated Press

BLOOMINGTON – Showing few signs of trying to ease the nation’s tense political atmosphere, Republican front-runner Donald Trump is standing by his antagonistic campaign rhetoric, rejecting any responsibility for violence at his rallies and defending his supporters who have been charged with assaulting protesters.

“We’re not provoking. We want peace. ... We don’t want trouble,” he told a large crowd in Bloomington, Illinois, the first of two comparatively docile events Sunday as he campaigns ahead of another critical slate of large-state primaries.

Trump’s remarks come after a near-riot Friday night in Chicago as Trump canceled a scheduled rally amid widespread altercations among his supporters, detractors and authorities.

His three-state schedule, which ended Sunday evening in Florida, also comes less than 48 hours before polls open in a five-state slate that could determine whether he wins the GOP nomination without a contested summer convention.

Against that backdrop, Trump continued to blame protesters, media and even Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders for the increasingly caustic campaign environment that his rivals assailed as “cause for pause” and certain “to do damage to America.”

Interrupted only sparingly in Illinois, Trump assured his backers their frustration is righteous rage against a corrupt political and economic system. He cast his naysayers as “bad

people” that “do harm to the country.”

He’s tried since Chicago to shift focus to Ohio, where he faces a late push from the popular governor, John Kasich. The outcome will help determine whether Trump can reach the 1,237 delegates required for nomination and avoid a contested GOP convention this summer in Cleveland.

“If we can win Ohio, we’re going to run the table, folks,” Trump said in West Chester, Ohio, his second event Sunday.

At an earlier stop this past weekend, Trump aimed directly at Kasich, calling him “a baby” and deliberately mispronouncing the governor’s Czech surname.

“He’s not the right guy to be president. He’s not tough enough, he’s not sharp enough,” Trump said at an event outside Dayton.

In line with his protectionist economic pitch, Trump noted Kasich’s support for the North American Free Trade Agreement as a member of Congress in the 1990s.

He went on to incorrectly identify the governor as KASE-itch. “Like, most people don’t even know how to pronounce his name. Kase-ick!

Kase-ick!” Trump mocked. “He cannot do the job, folks. He’s not your president.”

Kasich, meanwhile, reversed his monthslong practice of avoiding the topic of Trump.

Speaking with The Associated Press aboard his campaign bus between stops in Ohio, Kasich brandished his iPad and read a list of Trump quotes compiled by an aide.

The quotes included Trump’s comments that his audiences should “hit back” a little more and a statement that he’d like to punch a protester in the face.

La., Miss.: Floods damage thousands of homes

By CAIN BURDEAU The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – Widespread flooding in Louisiana and Mississippi has damaged thousands of homes, and the risk of more flooding played out Sunday as rain-filled rivers rose over banks.

At least four deaths have been reported in Louisiana, including that of an elderly man, authorities said.

Two fishermen have been missing for days in Mississippi.

In northwest Tennessee, more than a dozen homes were evacuated late Saturday after heavy rains breached a levee, according to emergency officials.

Flood warnings were in effect across the region as many rivers remained dangerously high.

Also of concern was another line of thunderstorms that was expected to hit parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, northern Louisiana and northern Mississippi Sunday night. Hail and tornadoes were possible, forecasters said.

But Davyon Hill, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Shreveport, said this storm system was not expected to drop the kind of record-setting rains that the region has seen recently.

“At this point, any rain will aggravate the flooding situation,” he said.

“But these (storms) are kind of fast moving and isolated.”

In Louisiana, emergency officials

A sign marks high water Sunday in a flooded section of Oil City, La. President Barack Obama has signed an order declaring Louisiana’s widespread flooding from heavy rains a major disaster. said more than 4,958 homes were damaged. That number is expected to rise as more reports come in from areas still battling floodwaters. Mississippi reported that 185 homes were damaged by floodwaters and about 650 homes sustained minor damage.

On Sunday, President Barack Obama signed an order declaring the flooding in Louisiana a major disaster.

The president’s declaration triggers federal aid for flood victims.

Louisiana Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser said he was worried that many flood victims had not purchased flood insurance.

“A lot of these people I spoke to did not have flood insurance because they had never flooded before,” Nungesser said in a telephone interview.

He warned that residents may not get federal disaster aid if they didn’t have insurance. “It’s not going to be the open checkbook,” he added.

Downpours – part of a system

affecting Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Alabama – have submerged roads and cars, washed out bridges and forced residents to flee homes.

Authorities in Louisiana’s Natchitoches Parish said Harold Worsham, 78, drowned while trying to flee floodwaters on Saline Bayou. The sheriff’s office said Worsham was in a boat that capsized as he and two others were moving items from a home onto an aluminum boat.

On Sunday, Mississippi officials said they still were looking for two missing fishermen, but had no reports of injuries or deaths there.

Flooding on rain-swollen rivers remained a major concern.

In Tennessee, Emergency Management Agency director Rickey Graves in Gibson County told The Jackson Sun that about 10 homes in the community of Kenton and a half dozen homes in Trenton were evacuated Saturday night after a levee was breached.

It’s the most widespread non-hurricane flooding the Louisiana National Guard ever has dealt with, said Col. Pete Schneider, a guard spokesman.

The National Guard said it had about 1,400 soldiers and air crews at work in flooded areas throughout Louisiana, deploying in high-water vehicles, boats and three helicopters.

By Sunday morning, National Guard crews had evacuated more than 3,295 people and 316 pets as part of its round-the-clock operations.

Search stopped for 3rd Hudson River tugboat crash victim The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Divers late Sunday stopped searching inside a sunken tugboat for the body of a third crew member who went missing after the boat crashed into a barge on the Hudson River north of New York City.

“It has moved from a rescue and recovery operation to a salvage operation,” said Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary, who added that an aerial and river search will continue on the remote chance the body of Harry Hernandez, 56, of Staten Island, New York, was ejected from the boat.

O’Leary said divers ceased their search because they were not able to access a section of the tugboat where they believe his body is located because of severe damage, O’Leary said.

The 90-foot tugboat named Specialist hit a barge early Saturday morning near where the new Tappan Zee

Bridge, which connects two counties north of New York City, is being built.

The tugboat sank, spilling about 5,000 gallons of fuel into the water.

Earlier, divers recovered the body of Timothy Conklin, 29, of Westbury, Long Island, New York. His body was brought back to shore after divers found him inside the tugboat around 11 a.m. Sunday.

The body of Paul Amon, 62, of Bayville, New Jersey, was pulled from the water Saturday.

Authorities said three tugboats were pushing a barge from Albany to Jersey City, New Jersey, when one of the three — situated on the right side as it headed south — hit a stationary barge that was part of the Tappan Zee Bridge construction project. A tugboat on the left side of the barge that was being pushed, as well as one that was pushing the barge from the rear, were not involved in the accident.

But there were reports of ra-

dio transmissions from the tug that crashed saying, according to Cuomo, “We are too close. We have to move left.” But it apparently was too late, the governor said.

Authorities believed the sunken tug is wedged directly underneath the barge it struck at the mid-span of the bridge.

Cuomo said he had been “hoping for a miracle” that the men would be found alive.

Instead, the governor said Sunday that he spent some time with the Conklin family, “which is obviously still in shock.”

Cuomo said in a statement that 21 workers were on the bridge construction barge that was hit, but none was injured. He added the construction barge was illuminated at the time of the pre-dawn collision.

Commercial divers from a salvage company retained by the tugboat owner are expected to arrive on the scene

Monday to assess the damage and figure out how to remove the wreckage from the river, O’Leary said. The company then will submit a salvage plan to the Coast Guard for approval, he said.

“When that’s under way, police will be present if they find a body,” O’Leary added.

The accident occurred near the center of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge, and the Specialist sank in about 40 feet of water within minutes, authorities said. The water temperature in the area was about 40 degrees, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Cuomo said a team was on-site to contain the leaking diesel fuel, and he did not expect any long-term damage as a result of the spill.

James Mercante, an attorney for the owner of Specialist, said the crew was licensed, competent and experienced personnel. He called the crash “a shocking, horrific marine tragedy.”

Security forces gathering around the scene Sunday were gunmen attacked people in Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast. At least six armed men attacked beachgoers outside three hotels Sunday in Grand-Bassam, killing several civilians and special forces, sending tourists fleeing through the historic Ivory Coast resort town.

UNESCO World Heritage site and popular destination for Ivorians and foreigners about 25 miles east of Abidjan, Ivory Coast’s commercial center.

It was the third major attack on a tourism center in West Africa since November.

Some witnesses said the assailants fired at random, while others said the killing was more targeted. Witness Marcel Guy said that gunmen raced across the beach in small groups, tot-

ing Kalashnikov rifles and hunting for victims.

One gunman, who had a long beard, approached two children on the beach and Guy said he heard the man speaking Arabic. One of the children then knelt and started praying. He was spared, while the other boy was not.

“The Christian boy was shot and killed right in front of my eyes,” Guy said.

Germanwings crash: New rules needed for pilot health issues

By ANGELA CHARLTON and GEIR MOULSON The Associated Press LE BOURGET, France – Seeking to ensure that suicidal pilots can’t crash their jets, French authorities investigating last year’s Germanwings crash are urging new reporting requirements for doctors treating pilots, and new measures to keep pilots from hiding mental health issues.

The recommendations are delicate.

The investigators from France’s BEA air accident agency acknowledged Sunday that it’s not easy to balance patients’ right to medical privacy and public safety, and said they don’t want to stigmatize people suffering depression.

But they argue that aviation authorities around the world need clearer rules, after Germanwings co-pilot

Andreas Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit and slammed Flight 9525 into an Alpine mountainside March 24, 2015. All 150 people aboard were killed.

Lubitz had suffered from depression in the past, but authorities and his airline later deemed him fit to fly.

What they didn’t know is that his mental health troubles had returned.

The final crash report released by the BEA on Sunday lays out in chilling detail how bad things had become.

Lubitz consulted dozens of doctors about perceived vision troubles and sleeplessness in the months leading up to the crash. One doctor prescribed antidepressants, including one whose side effects can include suicidal tendencies. Another doctor referred Lubitz to a psychiatric clinic two weeks before the crash, suspecting a potential “psychotic episode,” said Arnaud

Desjardin, leader of the BEA’s Germanwings investigation.

Lubitz reported none of this to Germanwings or its parent Lufthansa.

Neither did the doctors, citing Germany’s strict medical confidentiality laws.

The BEA said those rules need to change.

Among a list of 10 safety recommendations to international, European and German aviation authorities, the BEA said they should draw up new rules requiring medical workers to warn authorities when a pilot’s mental health could threaten public safety.

It suggested more rules like those in the U.S. and some other countries, which allow use of some antidepressants under medical supervision, to encourage pilots to seek treatment and come forward about depression.

Germany’s confidentiality laws pre-

vent sensitive personal information from being widely shared, although doctors are allowed to suspend patient privacy if they believe there is a concrete danger to the person’s safety or that of others.

Desjardin said German doctors fear losing their jobs or potential prison terms if they unnecessarily report a problem to authorities. The doctors who treated Lubitz for depression and mental illness also refused to speak with the BEA investigators, citing medical privacy – and complicating the investigation.

Johann Reuss of Germany’s air accident investigation agency told The Associated Press “there is no need to change the law.” Reuss said “it might not be easy” to loosen the privacy rules and suggested that authorities instead focus on giving doctors checklists to prevent similar scenarios with pilots.

GRAND-BASSAM, Ivory Coast – Armed men attacked an Ivory Coast beach resort Sunday, killing at least 16 people and sending tourists fleeing through the historic town of Grand-Bassam in an attack claimed by al-Qaida’s North Africa branch.

Bloody bodies were sprawled on the beach and witnesses described horrific scenes as a lazy weekend afternoon was shattered by the West Africa’s latest extremist strike.

Ivory Coast’s President Alassane Ouattara told reporters at the scene that 14 civilians, two special forces and six assailants were killed when the gunmen stormed the beach. The president arrived in Grand-Bassam a few hours after the attack, visiting the hotels and saluting security forces for their quick response.

“I present my condolences to the families of the people who were murdered, and of course I am very proud of our security forces who reacted so fast,” Ouattara said outside the Etoile du Sud, one of the targeted hotels. “The toll could’ve been much heavier.”

Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility for the attack, according to SITE Intelligence Group which monitors jihadist websites. The Islamic extremist group made the declaration in a post to its Telegram channels, calling three of the attackers “heroes” for the assault.

The bursts of gunfire sent people running from the beach at Grand-Bassam, a

four bodies sprawled out on the beach in front of a small resort next to the Etoile du Sud hotel, which is popular with foreigners.

Jacques Able, who identified himself as the owner of Etoile du Sud, said he rushed to the hotel after getting a phone call. He said one person had been killed at the hotel.

A receptionist at the Etoile du Sud described the mayhem.

“We don’t know where they came from, and we don’t know where they’ve gone,” said the receptionist, who would not give his name.

Beachgoers could be seen lining up with their hands above their heads as they filed out of the area. Residents who heard the gunfire hid in their homes, said Josiane Sekongo, 25, who lives across from one of the town’s beachfront hotels.

An American embassy delegation was in Grand-Bassam on Sunday, but the U.S. Embassy in Abidjan said it was monitoring the situation and had no evidence U.S. citizens were targeted or harmed.

Dozens of people were killed in the earlier attacks on West African tourist sites, starting with a siege at a Malian hotel in November and then an assault on a hotel and cafe in Burkina Faso in January. Analysts have warned for months that Ivory Coast, which shares a border with both of those affected countries, could be hit by jihadists as well.

All three West African countries are former French colonies and at least one of those killed in Grand-Bassam Sunday was French.

ANOTHER VIEW

Canada, U.S. have a lot to do When the U.S. and Canada get together to fight climate change, they ought to be able to make a difference. They’re not only neighbors, after all, but also among the world’s top 10 producers of greenhouse gases.

So why did this week’s announcement of a joint effort to reduce methane emissions feel so underwhelming?

Because it was. The best hope, for the climate and for both countries, is that it presages a new era of action and cooperation.

Methane emissions from oil and gas production – which the two countries agreed to cut by as much as 45 percent in a decade – make up less than 3 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, and only about 6 percent for Canada, according to figures compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence. While both countries set much bigger goals in Paris last year – the U.S. pledged to cut carbon emissions by 26 percent in a decade; Canada promised a 30 percent reduction in 15 years – neither one has yet put in place a full set of policies needed to meet them. Even if they did, the reductions would fall far short of what’s needed to prevent devastating climate change. So what could the two countries do to make more of a difference?

In the U.S., the best policy would be to impose a revenue-neutral carbon tax. Yet the current Congress would make this all but impossible. President Barack Obama’s workaround is the Clean Power Plan, which moves the energy sector toward low-carbon fuel sources. Ideally, his successor will endorse this strategy and expand on it – for example, by investing more in nuclear power.

Canada has even further to go. It has made less progress than the U.S. in cutting emissions, and the declining fortunes of its oil and gas industry have hurt its economy, limiting public appetite for ambitious change. Yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau enjoys two distinct advantages: Canada’s political system allows a government with a majority of seats in Parliament to pass legislation with no support from the opposition, and Canada’s most populous provinces already have adopted or announced plans to put a put a price on carbon.

The challenge is to combine those initiatives into a national approach that generates meaningful greenhouse-gas reductions.

At their meeting Thursday, Obama and Trudeau renewed their countries’ friendly rivalry, identifying shared goals and core differences. They even talked about more important things – such as action on climate change. If their announcement on methane emissions marks the start of a new competition, it’s a contest that will benefit both countries and the world.

VIEWS

It’s really time to stop bashing Wall Street

By MATTHEW WINKLER Bloomberg View There’s a perverse competition among some presidential candidates: Who can most loudly blame Wall Street for the problems of Main Street.

They’ve got it wrong. Financial firms are doing more to help consumers, business and industry in America than they have in decades. And for the first time since the early years of the 21st century, global investors consider U.S. banks among the world’s best.

One of the reasons the American economy is performing better than any of the largest in Asia and Europe is that its regulators have repaired the damage of the financial crisis and the worst recession since the Great Depression. Led by the Federal Reserve, they replaced incentives for reckless speculation with catalysts for old-fashioned credit creation backed by levels of capital that are unprecedented in modern times. Banks today are most willing to lend money since at least 1990. Perhaps the best measure of restored confidence

in the financial system is the 63 percent of Americans who are within 7 percentage points of the all-time-high valuation of their homes in 2006.

All but ignored in the presidential debates this year is the record $1.06 trillion of loans to commercial and industrial firms by the largest U.S. banks, an amount that has increased for 21 consecutive quarters. That’s a streak unequaled since 1985, when Ronald Reagan occupied the White House (and Bloomberg began compiling such data).

In its quarterly survey of senior loan officers, the Fed in January reported that banks have been willing lenders for 25 consecutive quarters, the longest period of commitment since President George H.W. Bush was president 26 years ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

That helps explain why investors for the first time since 2004 are paying a premium to purchase the shares of U.S. banks compared with their global peers on a price-to-book-value basis, according to Bloomberg data. The price-to-book ratio of the 24 major U.S. banks in the KBW Bank

Index exceeded the comparable measure of 157 banks worldwide for the first time since President George W. Bush was re-elected.

Home mortgages now total $9.95 trillion after bottoming in 2014 after the recession. That amount is comparable to the easy-credit days of 2006, before the financial crisis. Today, in contrast, the mortgage market shows no signs of the leveraged lending that precipitated the housing bust and, if anything, is poised to keep growing.

Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway has increased its holdings of Wells Fargo, Visa and U.S. Bancorp the past several years, recently told his shareholders they should ignore much of what they’re hearing from presidential candidates.

“As a result of this negative drumbeat, many Americans now believe that their children will not live as well as they themselves do,” Buffett wrote. “That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history.”

Buffett should know. It can only happen when Wall Street is backing Main Street.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

VIEWS Gene Lyons samples, which he analyzed for the happy hormone.

According to Elyse Wanshel’s summary in The Huffington Post, “Canines were proven to love us Homo sapiens five times more than their feline counterparts.”

That’s right, cat lovers, dogs rule!

Except, you know what? I don’t have a Ph.D. in neuroeconomics, but I do have an unusual orange tabby cat named Albert. His nickname is “The Orange Dog,” on account of how he’s the smallest member of our security team – consisting of two Great Pyrenees, a German shepherd and Albert.

Albert has many unusual personality traits. Besides preferring canine company, he’s been known to sit atop fence posts to let Mount Nebo the horse nuzzle him. The other horses, no. He wanders among cows as if they were as inert as hay bales. He’s totally devoted to me, perching on the arm of my chair watching ballgames, and lying on my chest at bedtime purring.

Then he retires to the bathroom towel closet, fishes open the spring-loaded door and lets it thump shut behind him. Around 5 a.m. – thump! – he’s up and out the door. Many afternoons he accompanies my wife, five dogs and me on an hourlong walk around the pastures to my neighbor’s hay barn, rubbing on the dogs’ legs and panting like a little lion. Sometimes he stays the night out there hunting mice. A country cat, Albert’s wise to coyotes.

I’m absurdly fond of him, and the feeling’s clearly mutual.

However, Albert has two significant phobias: cars and strangers. He vanishes when company comes, keeps the house under surveillance from an undisclosed location and materializes after they’ve gone.

So carry him to a laboratory, let a stranger take a saliva sample, play with him for 10 minutes and then let the stranger mess with him again?

Our basset hound Daisy would be fine with that. She loves riding in the car, has never met a stranger and pretty much drools all day anyway.

Elevated oxytocin levels? Albert would take a week to forgive such an indignity. He might bite. So would most cats.

What a farcical experiment. The moral molecule indeed!

So what does Albert feel when he’s lying there on my chest? I think basically what I feel: security, contentment and deep affection.

“People must have renounced, it seems to me, all natural intelligence to dare to advance that animals are but animated machines. ...

Such people can never have observed with attention the character of animals, not to have distinguished among them the different voices of need, of suffering, of joy, of pain, of love, of anger, and of all their affections. It would be very strange that they should express so well what they could not feel.” – Voltaire In the popular imagination, there are dog people and cat people, although one rarely encounters them in real life. Me, I’m leery of anybody who dislikes dogs, although it’s necessary to make allowances for people with bad childhood experiences. Cat-haters are almost invariably men. Probably cats are spooked around them.

But do domestic animals love us back?

Most pet owners find it an absurd question.

What could be more obvious than a dog’s joy at welcoming us home after an absence? Than a cat’s curling up and purring in our laps?

For the longest time, strict behaviorists clung to pseudo-scientific fundamentalism claiming that talking about animals’ emotions was sentimental nonsense. Psuedo-science, as Carl Safina points out in his wonderful book “Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel,” precisely because it required ignoring almost everything we know about their anatomy, evolutionary history and observed behavior.

“So, do other animals have human emotions?” he asks. “Yes, they do. Do humans have animal emotions? Yes; they’re largely the same. Fear, aggression, well-being, anxiety and pleasure are the emotions of shared brain structures and shared chemistries, originated in shared ancestry.”

Enter now one professor Paul Zak, advertised as something called a “neuroeconomist” – a term hinting at mumbo-jumbo to me – who recently undertook an experiment to determine which domestic animal loves us best.

Dogs? Or cats?

Judging by his Wikipedia profile, Zak is a handsome rascal who makes a handsome living advising corporate clients that we’d be better off if we went around acting like a bunch of Italians, with lots of hugging and kissing each other’s cheeks. He’s probably right, too, although your mileage may differ.

Zak’s book, “The Moral Molecule” expounds upon the wonders of oxytocin, a neurotransmitter that gives people the warm-fuzzies when people they love (or attractive Italians) embrace them. He goes on TV a lot.

Anyway, at the request of BBC-TV, the professor set out to determine which species got the biggest oxytocin boost after 10 minutes of being dandled by their owners, dogs or cats.

So he assembled 10 of each at his laboratory, took saliva samples, instructed their owners to play with them, and then took more saliva

Executive function can improve Note to readers: This column is an update of one that ran originally in January 2013.

Dear Dr. K: An aging friend was told he has problems with “executive function.”

So, of course, I’m wondering what that is, if I also could have that problem, and what can be done about it. Could you explain?

Dear Reader: Executive function refers to a set of mental attributes required to make choices, plan, initiate action and inhibit impulses. While “executive function” is a term used to describe attributes of business executives, it applies to everyone.

For example, consider a stay-at-home mom who has to drive three young kids to different places at different times. And who must arrange for and monitor work that needs to be done on the house. And who is responsible for organizing the next family vacation. And who is “on point” (in the absence of dad) to settle disputes among the kids efficiently and with equanimity. That mom is demonstrating all of the attributes of executive function – and being paid nothing for it.

So ask yourself the following questions.

If you are responsible for planning something, is it clear what the steps are, and in what order? Will you be able to focus on the task at hand and ignore other tasks?

Will you be able to control any anger and impatience that might make you less efficient or effective? Do you shy away from asking others for help? Can you improve how you explain your vision or plans to others? If you’re easily distracted, does your smartphone always need to be on, or can callers leave text messages or voicemails? That’s just a partial list.

The good news is you can help preserve executive function by doing many of the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff same things you already should be doing to stay healthy. Older people who exercise, for example, have better executive function than those who remain idle. Aerobic exercise may be especially beneficial.

Lack of sleep scrambles executive function, so there’s another reason to get enough sleep. High blood pressure seems to have a harmful effect on executive function. So if you have it, make the lifestyle changes required and take the medicines prescribed.

Researchers are looking into whether certain drugs might help older people with executive function deficits. So far, the results have been mixed.

In the meantime, try the following to improve (or compensate for) your executive function: • Do what you can to eliminate distractions. As I mentioned earlier, go “off the grid” from your smartphone or computer.

• Pay attention to paying attention. In other words, work on maintaining focus.

• Make it a habit. Always put keys and other personal items in the same place so you don’t have to remember where you put them.

• Write it down. Lists and plans of action are a way of “outsourcing” executive function from the brain to a piece of paper or a computer file.

Follow these tips, and your “inner CEO” may stay in good shape.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork. com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

You and Alec need to have a lot more conversation about what the realities of this situation will be once the boy arrives. If Alec plans to have responsibility for his brother fall on you, you need to be honest and let him know you are neither willing nor able to do that, so he can make other arrangements.

DEAR ABBY have been married for 14 years.

Jeanne My wife is a liar Phillips and lies about small things. I realized it about 10 years ago and have tried to reason with her. We have two daughters, and the older one is like her mom and also has a habit of lying.

Over the past few years, I have started calling my wife on it whenever she lies to me. For the past eight months, we have not talked, and we sleep in different rooms. She has never made an effort to fix our relationship. I want a divorce, but for the kids’ sake I am not talking about it or forcing the issue. I’m very depressed and don’t know what to do. I have started drinking a lot late at night when everybody in the house is asleep. Please advise. – Had It In Georgia Dear Had It: It’s time to take a step back and review what’s happened in your marriage in the sober light of day. Neither you nor your wife is communicating on a meaningful level. Drowning your sorrows in alcohol won’t fix what’s wrong in your relationship with a compulsive liar – and neither will tolerating the status quo.

You say you want a divorce, but haven’t mentioned it for your children’s sake; however, the silent anger and hostility in your home isn’t a healthy environment for them. Do you really want them to grow up thinking this is normal?

If you or your wife is concerned about how your behavior is affecting your daughters, start talking with a licensed marriage counselor to see if your marriage can be revived. If it can’t be, then it might be healthier to consult an attorney and make the split as amicable as possible for everyone’s emotional and financial sake.

Dear Abby: When my boyfriend, “Alec,” proposed, I happily accepted. But a few months later, he came up with the idea to bring his 9-year-old brother, “Shane,” to live with him, so Alec can look after him. Alec thinks the boy will get a better education and improve his behavior if he lives in the city.

Currently, Shane lives with their mom, and she agreed to send her son to live here. The problem is, we plan to get married in two years, and I do not see myself living with an adolescent boy. I want to start out fresh only with Alec. I am unsure now whether to proceed with the wedding, knowing what this will mean. – Plans

My most frequent correspondent is Steve Conrad, of Manhasset, New York. He has a good eye for an instructive deal, so this week let’s look at a sextet of them.

First, we have a defense that requires deduction and disobeying the textbook. It is not as straightforward as it appears when you look at the full diagram.

Against three no-trump, West was right to lead his fourth-highest heart, not the queen. Only lead an honor from three touchers (Q-J-10) or two touchers and a gap of one card to a near-toucher (A-Q-J or Q-J-9).

South plays dummy’s king in the hope that West holds the ace.

Now the spotlight falls on East.

The textbook says that if you win the first trick, you return the lowest from three remaining cards (or the higher from two). Here, though, if East leads back the heart six, it blocks the suit.

West wins with his jack and plays another heart, but East can take only two more tricks with his 10 and eight.

South then claims nine winners: two spades, two diamonds and five clubs.

From the Rule of Eleven (4 from 11 is 7), East knows that South started with only one heart higher than the four, which must be the jack (declarer misguessed at trick one) or the nine. If it is the jack, South must have begun with only two hearts; otherwise, he would have played low from the dummy at trick one to guarantee a heart trick. So, East should lead back his 10. Here, he wins the trick and plays another heart. But if South could cover the 10 with the jack, West must make that deduction about jack-doubleton and lead a low heart at trick three, not cash his nine from an original Q-9-5-4-3. Tough.

You DO NOT Have to Suffer From Knee Pain Any Longer!

KNEE PAIN?

NEW FDA APPROVED TREATMENT PROVEN TO RELIEVE KNEE PAIN

Over 100 million Americans suffer from knee and joint pain? This pain accounts for 25 percent of all visits to primary care physicians and half of all anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions.Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you could get rid of your knee pain? Where would you go, what would you do?

What would you give for a day, a week or a lifetime of pain-free mobility? We are pleased to announce that knee pain sufferers don’t have to wait any longer to get the most advanced, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment. If you suffer from any degree of knee pain, we invite you to regain control of your life by visiting Wellness Institute of Illinois, a state-of-the-art medical facility.

WHAT IS OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)?

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks down and wears away. This allows the bones under the cartilage to rub together, resulting in pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Although in some people it progresses quickly, in most individuals joint damage develops gradually over years.

WHAT ELSE IS AVAILABLE TO TREAT KNEE PAIN?

After careful study and several trials, the FDA approved a new treatment aimed at helping those with knee pain. This new treatment is a high-tech answer for all those who think that surgery, dietary supplements and prescription medications are the only option to eliminate knee pain.

HOW DOES THIS TREATMENT WORK?

We use diagnostic ultrasound, allowing the doctor to pinpoint problem areas with extreme accuracy. A viscosupplement is then injected, and the healing process begins. Viscosupplementation bonds with naturally occurring joint fluid to create a lubricating and cushioning layer. It reduces pain, inflammation and swelling of the joint. Patients compare the treatment to getting a shot at the doctor’s office, and report little pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE KNEE?

Hyaluronic acid is similar to substances that occur naturally in your joint. The outside of the joint (joint capsule) is comprised of a sturdy, fibrous tissue. The lining of the joint capsule contains synovial cells, which secrete a thick, viscous synovial fluid.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the viscous nature of the joint fluid, nourishes the cartilage, helps eliminate waste products, lubricates the joint and acts as a shock absorber inside the joint.Hyaluronic acid is reduced or lost from those who suffer from osteoarthritis. It is similar to changing the oil in your car.

If your car were to run low on oil, you would have some serious wear and tear on the moving parts.

Really?

The Northern Illinois baseball team had 15 hits and scored 13 runs Sunday, and junior Brian Sisler became the first Huskies player in 16 years to hit for the cycle. Still, it wasn’t enough. NIU lost to Belmont, 1513, in Nashville, Tennessee. Sisler, a DeKalb grad, finished 4 for 6 with five RBIs.

BOYS HOCKEY: AHAI WHITE VARSITY BLACKHAWK CUP

No quit in CL South Gators come up short in quarterfinals

By ALEX KANTECKI akantecki@shawmedia.com BENSENVILLE – Down three goals halfway through the second period and with only 10 healthy skaters available, the Crystal Lake South hockey team calculated its chances of coming all the way back against Marist on Sunday weren’t all that great.

Still, the Gators showed no quit.

In the first game of the season, it was Marist that erased a 4-1 deficit to tie South. So the Gators figured they could, too.

“It’s really hard to come back, especially by three goals, just because we are short on players,” Gators junior captain AJ Saputa said. “Everyone out there is working their [butts] off the entire game.

Everybody is out there giving 100 percent, and trying to put the puck in the back of the net.”

Freshman Evan Jewson provided the Gators with a spark, passing back and forth with Harrison Hinz before coming off the boards and finding just enough space between the side post and Marist goalie Andrew Reif to give South its first goal in the closing minutes of the second period.

But the RedHawks, who added a empty-net goal in the third period before conceding a last-second goal to South, never let the Gators come all the way back.

Sixth-seeded Marist knocked off the third-seeded Gators, 4-2, at the Edge Ice Arena to reach the semifinals of the White Varsity Division in the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois Blackhawk Cup. Marist will play second-seeded Loyola Academy Maroon – which beat Niles Township, 13-0, Sunday – at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday.

“It’s really hard to come back from 3-0,” Gators coach Rick Perillo said. “2-0 is not bad, but 3-0 is a lot harder. It’s just the mental part of the game. … Our guys played great. For the last two months, our guys did everything possible. We were short benched, but these guys came together as a team and did everything they could possibly do. I’m very proud of them.”

South started the season with 16 play-

Leo Johnson, one of two seniors on South, was held scoreless Sunday but led the Gators with 49 points this season. He scored a team-high 23 goals and added 26 assists.

Both were on the team all four seasons. ers on its roster but was down to 12 for Sunday’s quarterfinal game, including goalies Josh Albrecht (16 saves) and Jacksen Applequist (nine saves).

Disciplinary issues and an injury accounted for the short bench, Perillo said, but his players never used it as an excuse.

Albrecht started for the Gators (14-236) and held Marist scoreless for the first 12:14. A shot by Marist’s Vito Dellorto deflected off Albrecht and trickled in behind him.

In the second, Joseph Prkut scored after he tracked down a loose puck with 12:03 left. Timothy Carlson intercepted a

Jewson’s goal came with 4:42 left in the second and gave the Gators some much-needed momentum heading into the final 15 minutes.

“We were going through on the power play, and I just ended up being on the side and touched it over to Harrison,” Jewson said of his goal. “He ended up passing it to me, and I was a little close to him, so I wasn’t expecting the pass. I just shot at the net and it ended up going in.”

South had a 5-on-3 opportunity to start the third but was unable to capitalize after Perillo called a timeout. The Gators only put two shots on goal during the power play.

Marist scored an empty-net goal with 2:34 left before freshman Michael Helm finished the scoring for South with 9.7 seconds left. The play was assisted by his brother, junior Eric Helm.

“A lot has changed since the first game of the year,” said Eric Helm, who is second on South with 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists). “We’ve gotten a lot better, but clearly so have they. I still think on any given day we could beat them. It’s just the way we showed up today. We came together more than we have the past two seasons. Overcame adversity ... not a bad way to end the year.”

Shots on goal for New Trier (12 for Cary-Grove)

q AND ANOTHER THING ...

Cary-Grove goalie Frankie Saliba, a senior at Libertyville, kept the Trojans in the game with 41 saves, turning away 16 of the first 17 shots against him in the first period. It was his third game with 41 saves (Nov. 25 vs.PREP and Jan. 27 vs. Warren). jans (21-19-8) stayed in the game behind the play of goalie Frankie Saliba, who turned away 16 of 17 shots in the first period.

Only a nifty backhand goal from New Trier’s Ethan Brunso with 10:29 left in the first found its way past Saliba.

Saliba, a senior at Libertyville, made 41 stops in all.

“I kind of play for everybody else,” Saliba said. “I would hate it if my teammates let me down, so I never try to let them down. It’s always fun to keep your team in the game.”

The Trojans, a young team with only one senior line, couldn’t keep up with the constant cycling of New Trier, which held a 33-to-7 shot advantage in the first two periods combined.

“They did a lot of cycling around, just getting it around us and they would hold it until we made our move,” said senior forward Dominic Miller, who led the team with 30 goals this season. “It was tough to break it out around that.

They’re a very good hockey team.”

New Trier did eventually break through with two goals in the second period and two in the third.

New Trier’s Robert Soudan beat Saliba top right with 11:48 left in the second,

and Blake Glass put in a rebound goal with 9:11, making it 3-0. Samuel Balch and Peter Lifvendahl tallied goals in the third period.

C-G had two power plays in the first period but came away with only three shots.

Miller had two shots on goal in the third, and Thomas Martin had a breakaway in the second that was chased down.

Other than that, the Jake Kraeger Trojans didn’t have many scoring opportunities.

Jake Kraeger, a senior defenseman, sees good things ahead for the Trojans, who had an up-and-down season but won their first tournament in 10 years.

“They (New Trier) have a lot of hockey smarts,” Kraeger said. “We have a lot of freshmen, but I’m really optimistic about the team’s future. I think they’ll gain some of those hockey smarts.

They’re new and it’s a just different level of play than they’re used to.”

Junior forward Nick Kaspari (27 goals, 31 assists) led the Trojans this season with 58 points, and senior Mitch Whitehouse was second with 53.

Gardenfest 2016 Coming Soon to McHenry County College SPONSORED BY

adno=0339815

Spring is just weeks away, so it’s time to break out the spade and learn new ways to put your green thumb to work.

For more than two decades, McHenry County College has hosted Gardenfest, a day dedicated to all things leafy, flowering, and/or growing, and this year’s event on April 9 at MCC promises to deliver.

“This year we’re very excited about our keynote speaker, Kerry Ann Mendez,” said Wendy Yemm, MCC’s coordinator of conferences and facility rentals. “She’s very well-known in this industry.”

Author, consultant, and designer, Mendez, speaks nationally and has written three books, including her latest, The Right-Size Flower Garden: Simplify Your Outdoor Space with Smart Design Solutions and Plant Choices.

Mendez will speak on Three Seasons of Outrageous Color from Perennials.

The day also includes 20 educational breakout sessions and an expo featuring,

at last count, about 30 exhibitors selling everything from seeds and plants to gift items and yard art.

Breakout sessions, most of which are taught by master gardeners, are aimed at making gardening more fun, interesting and beautiful, Yemm said. Topics include Tips and Secrets of the Pros, Permaculture Basics, Enhancing the Curb Appeal of Your Home and Starting a Vegetable Garden.

Continental breakfast and lunch are included in the $45 Gardenfest fee ($25 for MCC Horticulture students).

Gardenfest 2016 takes place from 7:30 a.m.–3:45 p.m. Saturday, April 9 in the Luecht Conference Center, McHenry County College, Building B, 8900 U.S. Highway 14, Crystal Lake. Registration deadline is March 29, 2016. Download a registration form at www.mchenry.edu/gardenfest.

BENSENVILLE – Cary-Grove hockey coach Anthony Sode has no doubt his Trojans can skate with anybody.

The Trojans, who advanced to the Elite Eight of the Amateur Hockey Association Illinois Blackhawk Cup for the third straight year, just might not have the same experience as others.

On Sunday morning, C-G’s season ended with a 5-0 loss to New Trier White in a quarterfinal matchup of the White Varsity Division at The Edge Ice Arena.

New Trier advances to play the winner of Lake Zurich and Mount Carmel in the semifinals at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday.

“We can skate with anybody,” said Sode, an assistant for nine seasons before taking over this year.

“We just have to put the effort in, and sometimes we need to be reminded of that. I just think with the early morning game, we got off to a little slow start. ...

I think we stood with them and skated with them for the whole game. We just couldn’t put the puck in the net and get it out of our zone.”

New Trier, the No. 1 seed, outshot C-G, 46-12, but the ninth-seeded Tro-

There’s nothing better than the NCAA tournament, although Selection Sunday comes close.

Especially when CBS forces the most drawn-out, poorly planned TV show imaginable (no, I don’t mean “Undercover Boss”) on viewers and is rewarded with the humiliation of having its top-secret bracket leaked on Twitter.

It was a strange day, from “#leakedbracket” to Michigan State’s No. 1-seed snub to CBS studio analysts Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith’s nonsensical ramblings about college basketball teams they clearly haven’t watched.

And it has been a strange season or, if you prefer, not a vintage season.

There aren’t a lot of great teams out there. The overall quality of play could’ve been better.

But now the Big Dance is set to begin, and that means everything is perfect. Well, not exactly, but I’ll at least save my One Whining Moment for later.

BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA WORKSHOP REVEALS HOW TO NATURALLY HEAL BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA FOR GOOD. • Do you suffer with back pain or leg pain when you stand or walk?

• Do you have pain when you sit for long periods or drive?

• Do you experience pain, numbness or tingling into your butt, groin or down your leg?

• Does your back ever “go out” if you move the wrong way?

• Are you afraid your pain will get worse if you don’t do anything about it?

If you have answered YES to any of the these questions (or have a stubborn spouse who is in denial) – the Lower Back and Sciatica Workshop may be a life changing event for you…

Hello, Back pain and sciatica can completely ruin your life… I’ve seen it many times.

It can make you lean on the shopping cart when walking through the grocery store… It can take your focus away on enjoying your life…like spending time with your children or grandchildren… It can mess up your work or force you to do a job you don’t want to do… It can ruin your travel plans… And it can take away your ability to live life… Having to rely on others or have them wait on you while you sit and rest.

And less movement and less enjoyment of life can lead to depression, increased stress and a sedentary lifestyle (mostly sitting… not moving much) which leads to bigger health problems… and life problems.

The Sciatica and Lower Back Specialists at Diamond PT have helped 100’s of people right here in Algonquin… and the rest of McHenry County… who have suffered needlessly with lower back pain and sciatica… it’s our specialty.

So by request, I’m hosting a Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Workshop here at Diamond Physical Therapy at 1140 East Algonquin Rd, Algonquin IL 60102, Saturday, March 19, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

If you’re confused about what to do and are looking for answers, here’s some of what you’ll learn: • The Single Biggest #1 Mistake back pain and sciatica sufferers make which actually stops them from healing…

• The 3 Most Common Causes of Lower Back Pain and Sciatica…

• A Sure-Fire Way to Pick the Right Treatment for the Cause of Your Pain (and save you a ton of time and money) • How a problem in your back can cause pain, numbness or tingling in your leg…

• What successful treatment and permanent relief looks like without the side effects of medications, injections or surgery.

How Do I Register for the Lower Back Pain and Sciatica Workshop? Call Nicole at our office at 847-854-0196 How Much Is It to Attend? Nothing… the event is FREE!

2. East: There are those who contend that No. 1 seed North Carolina has the best talent in the country. I’m not in that camp, but I love point guard Marcus Paige and forward Brice Johnson as a senior tandem. The Tar Heels were scary-good in winning the ACC tourney.

No. 2 seed Xavier has the national coach of the year in Chris Mack and a bunch of rebounders who’ll dominate you if you let them. No. 3 West Virginia is a bear to play, physical and relentless defensively.

But it’s fourth-seeded Kentucky that makes this region daunting. After watching the Wildcats win the SEC tournament, it’s not a reach to think they might be getting ready to peak at the perfect time. That’s what John Calipari’s teams have done in reaching four of the past five Final Fours.

EXAM, X-RAYS & FIRST TREATMENT

NO SHAME, NOTRE DAME

Last time we saw the Irish, they were being beaten to within an inch of their lives by North Carolina in the ACC tournament. Not exactly a repeat of 2015, when Mike Brey’s team won that event.

As you’ll recall, quite an NCAA tourney run followed for that Irish squad, which came within a hair of upsetting Kentucky to reach the Final Four. Am I crazy for predicting that Demetrius Jackson, Zach Auguste, Steve Vasturia et al. can return to the Elite 8 without Jerian Grant and Pat Connaughton around to lead them there?

I do like the bracket path, however. Michigan coming off a First Four game in Dayton would be a challenge, but the Irish have fared better in close games. West Virginia after that would be beatable because of the way it sometimes struggles for long stretches on offense. Maybe Xavier in Round 3?

Brey would relish the challenge.

8 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: BIG TEN TOURNAMENT

Spartans take title, miss No. 1 NCAA seed

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Denzel Valentine already was upset about finishing second in the Big Ten. Now he and his teammates have something to prove in the NCAA tournament – that the selection committee made a mistake by giving the Spartans a No. 2 seed.

After taking out his frustration in Indianapolis by flirting with triple-doubles on three consecutive days and leading second-ranked Michigan State to another conference tournament title, the Big Ten player of the year is already gearing up for his next assignment.

“We got a tournament championship,” Valentine said after claiming the league’s automatic bid Sunday with a 66-62 victory over No. 13 Purdue. “It’s up to the committee who they seed. We have no control over that.

We’re just going to come out and play Michigan State basketball in the tournament.”

If Valentine keeps playing this well, he just might carry the Spartans (29-5) to a third national title.

In the championship game, Valentine finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists and made all the big plays late – just as he did in Saturday’s semifinal against No. 18 Maryland.

He was an easy choice as the tourney’s Most Outstanding Player.

But, naturally, Valentine and his teammates quickly shifted their focus to their next mission – beating Middle Tennessee State in the Midwest Region on Friday and starting another long postseason run.

“We talk about legacy all the time, leave your footprint in the sand,” Matt Costello said. “Right now we’re just trying to win another championship.”

They took care of one Sunday, thanks largely to Valentine’s ability to

Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine kisses the championship trophy after the Spartans defeated Purdue, 66-62, in the Big Ten tournament final Sunday in Indianapolis. Valentine was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. make big play after big play.

He thwarted one of Purdue’s runs by stripping the ball from Johnny Hill, driving the length of the court and drawing a foul. Then, after losing his balance on a drive, Valentine somehow flipped an alley-oop pass to Deyonta Davis almost from his knees for a dunk to make it 48-41.

After A.J. Hammons’ dunk got the Boilermakers within 52-51 with 7:48 to go, Valentine grabbed a rebound off of his own miss and quickly found Bryn Forbes open for a 3-pointer.

And twice in the final minute, when

Purdue had a chance to take the lead and tie the score, Valentine came up with the defensive rebounds to seal it.

The celebration didn’t last long.

“I’m not worried about where we’re going,” coach Tom Izzo said. “I’m worried about winning a championship.”

Purdue (26-8), which is the fifth seed in the Midwest Region and will play Arkansas-Little Rock on Thursday in Denver, was led by Vince Edwards with 19 points. A.J. Hammons and Caleb Swanigan each scored 11 as they helped the Boilermakers make a valiant rally after trailing, 46-33, early in

the second half.

The Boilermakers answered with eight straight points to cut the deficit to five before Valentine’s pass for the dunk. They got as close as 62-61 when Rapheal Davis made two free throws with 2:50 to play before Valentine made a seemingly impossible 16-foot double-clutch jumper.

Purdue didn’t make another basket.

“We had a good fight to us today,” coach Matt Painter said. “We had some plays there at the end where were attacking the rim, doing some good things and it just didn’t go our way.”

Bears sign former Patriots, Saints DL Hicks to 2-year deal

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com The Bears made another addition to the front seven Sunday by signing defensive lineman Akiem Hicks to a two-year contract.

A 6-foot-5, 324-pounder who went to Regina (Canada), Hicks visited Chicago late Friday and the two sides came

to the agreement Sunday evening.

Last season, Hicks started the first three games of the season for the Saints before being traded to the Patriots, where he had 21 tack- Akiem Hicks les and three sacks.

The Saints drafted Hicks in the third

round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Bears general manager Ryan Pace and director of player personnel Josh Lucas were with the Saints’ scouting department for that draft, so there is plenty of familiarity.

Hicks has played in 46 career games and four postseason contests. He has 140 tackles, 9.5 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble.

The 26-year-old is the third player the Bears have signed for the front seven on defense, joining Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. He should be a starter on the line alongside last year’s second-round pick Eddie Goldman.

The Bears re-signed Mitch Unrein but do not appear to be bringing back Jarvis Jenkins.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

Maddon says move to minor league game not about fielding

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Danks satisfied? Hardly

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – There is a place in most starting rotations for an innings eater such as John Danks, even with the consistently high ERAs the White Sox left-hander has posted since having shoulder surgery: 4.75, 4.74, 4.71.

For Danks, who was about a run per nine innings better presurgery, it’s not good enough. For a Sox team that plans on contending after three consecutive losing seasons, it might not be, either.

“Are you asking me if I’m OK with a 41/2?” Danks said after giving up eight runs in 41/3 innings in the Sox’s 11-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. “No. Does that answer your question? I’ll take 200 innings. But I certainly would like to be a lot more consistent than I have the last couple of years.

That’s what we’re here for.”

To that end, Danks and pitching coach Don Cooper are simplifying Danks’ mechanics to, as Danks said, give him the best odds of locating pitches. With less velocity to work with at this stage in his career, there’s less forgiveness for not hitting spots. On

Sunday, Danks pitched a perfect first inning and a perfect fourth but in between got whacked for eight runs on six hits, including two homers by Peter O’Brien, who has 12 major league plate appearances. He also walked two while striking out three.

Danks knows his critics, who’d like to see more bang for the bucks ($14.3 million) he will extract from the Sox’s payroll in the final year of his five-year, $65 million contract, will howl.

In three starts covering 92/3 innings, Danks has allowed 13 runs. But he said his feel for those refined mechanics is coming along faster than he expected.

Notes: Right-handed relievers Zach Putnam and Jake Petricka both talked down physical concerns – Putnam’s right hamstring and Petricka’s right shoulder. Petricka took a liner off his throwing shoulder and had to leave Saturday’s game against the Cubs in Mesa, but it wasn’t a direct hit.

“Arm feels good. A little bruise,” Petricka said.

Putnam tweaked his right hamstring while stretching Friday.

“Nothing serious. Nothing to be worried about,’’ he insisted.

was caught too far off the bag. He also got “handcuffed” on a sharp hopper to his left that went off his glove, and he let a bunt roll to the first baseman that turned into a hit when nobody was left to cover first.

“I understand the question regarding, Lester, absolutely, but that’s not the reason,” Maddon said.

He works daily on fielding, he said after that start, and also revealed his lack of comfort fielding and throwing to bases dates to high school.

Note: Kyle Hendricks added four more scoreless innings Sunday to a spring ledger that’s looking more impressive with every Cactus League start – including five strikeouts that boosted his spring total to 11 in nine innings (one run allowed). All five were swinging, and at least four were on changeups, he said. “[The changeup] is one of the things I lost last year in the middle of the season when I got out of my mechanics,” he said. “Going through what I did last year, learning to make those adjustments, really helped and paid off.”

MESA, Ariz. – Kyle Hendricks allowed one hit in four scoreless innings in the Cubs’ return to their former HoHoKam Stadium spring home, but the Oakland Athletics rallied for three runs in the ninth for a 3-3 tie Sunday.

Hendricks gave up only a two-out double to Billy Butler in the second inning. He finished with five strikeouts and a walk.

The Cubs scored twice in the first. Anthony Rizzo hit the first pitch of the game

by Jesse Hahn for a double and came around to score on a wild pitch. Jeimer Candelario’s two-out home run made it 2-0. John Andreoli hit a solo homer in the seventh.

The A’s tied it in the ninth on run-scoring singles by Franklin Barreto and Tyler Ladendorf and a sacrifice fly by Matt Olson.

TRAINER’S ROOM Cubs outfielder-catcher Kyle Schwarber showed little or no effects from a sore knee that forced him out of a game Thursday and sidelined him for two games.

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs have pulled left-hander Jon Lester off the big-league schedule for his next start after a rough two-inning start in his spring debut Thursday that included the kind of fielding and throwing problems he experienced last season.

The three-time All-Star, whose infield throws Thursday became the storyline of that start, will make his next start in a minor league game Tuesday in Mesa, manager Joe Maddon said, instead of the Cactus League game that day against the Padres at Peoria Stadium – the site of that first start against the Mariners.

Maddon said the decision was not made because of the fielding or throwing problems.

“You’d like to see some other guys against the varsity competition, and this way you can ensure that you can stretch him out comfortably,” said Maddon, who has Clayton Richard starting the

big-league exhibition game Tuesday. “It wasn’t done to get work on anything like throwing to the bases. That wasn’t the motivation.”

Maddon suggested one possible reason for the decision is to “shield” a player from a potential regular-season opponent.

The Cubs also have ace Jake Arrieta scheduled to get a start on the minor-league side, but Jon Lester that’s a rare 7:05 p.m. game, 45 minutes away, the kind of game established veterans often are excused from playing.

“The other thing is to make sure the guy gets his work in a little bit more comfortably,” Maddon added of Lester, “and make sure that you can stretch him out, that you get those five innings or whatever you’re looking for.”

In his first start, Lester underhanded a ball back to the mound 45 feet to first for an out and later in the game shortarmed a throw to second after a runner

10 BULLS

SPORTS BRIEFS

Butler ready to go, but Gasol on shelf Veteran center has swelling in knee

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg sounded like a coach who just might have reached that edge Sunday.

Or at least a coach who has been pushed to that edge.

On the same day Hoiberg was able to announce Jimmy Butler’s injured left knee was behind him and the two-time All-Star guard was set to return Monday night in Toronto, he also revealed Pau Gasol would not be making the two-city road trip because of swelling in his right knee.

The message to his team with only 18 regular-season games left and still on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture looking in?

Well, the same type of message he has been trying to preach to them for the past month when it comes to blowing late-quarter leads and untimely turnovers.

“I can’t say what I want to right now,” the usually reserved Hoiberg said. “Fight through it and keep battling.”

Then when the media joked they would bleep him out, yeah he went for it, stating, “Nut the [expletive] up.”

A phrase this team needs to do on so many levels.

Whether it’s been on the health front, late in games when they’re hit with some adversity, or even when they have been close to fully healthy, it has been a group that seems to run from obstacles rather than run over them.

The Gasol news was just the latest smack in the face, as they will be without their second-leading scorer at 17 points a game, and their leading rebounder at 11.1 a game.

“It’s a tough blow,” Hoiberg said. “There’s no doubt about it. Pau is a guy, especially with Derrick (Rose) out of the lineup, that you can run your offense through. With the trip the way it is right now, we’re still looking at some different options as far as the starting lineup is concerned.

“Niko (Mirotic) will have to play more minutes at that spot, so we’ll have some smaller lineup options out there. Bobby (Portis) will obviously get a shot. Cris (Felicio) after going through the last Toronto game gave us good solid minutes in that game. It’s just stepping up by committee for Pau. One guy isn’t going to do everything that Pau gives us. Guys are going to have to step up and try to fill the void as best they can.”

AP file photo

Bulls center Pau Gasol (right) will miss his team’s two-game road trip that begins Monday in Toronto because of swelling in his right knee.

Gasol did receive an MRI, and it was negative, but it sounded as if it could be up to a week on the shelf even with a treatment plan already underway.

Then there’s Rose. There always seems to be Rose when health news pops up.

The point guard said he ruled himself out of the loss to Miami with a sore groin, and it didn’t sound too promising for Toronto, either, already listed as doubtful by the team.

“It’s still too early to tell,” Hoiberg said.

“He feels significantly better than he did the other day.”

The plan was to get Rose through the Monday morning shootaround, get him treatment all day, and then get him through warm-ups. It’s that last stage that seems to trip up Rose, because there have been several instances this season where he’s participated fully in shootaround, but still didn’t feel game-ready by tipoff.

So how did Hoiberg try to keep the rest of the team’s spirit up Sunday?

During the film session they put in John “Bluto” Blutarsky’s “Nothing is over” speech from “Animal House,” classically delivered by John Belushi.

At this point in the Bulls season, why not?

Giants pitching prospect, CLS Harvick nosed to the line 0.010 grad Gardeck to miss season seconds ahead to continue his Ian Gardeck, a Crystal Lake South graduate who was added in November to the San Francisco Giants’ 40-man roster, needs Tommy John surgery to repair damage to his right ulnar collateral ligament and will miss the season, according to published reports Sunday night.

Gardeck, 25, struck out 104 and walked 24 in 861/3 innings out of the bullpen last season for the Giants’ High Single-A San Jose affiliate. He had a 3-4 record with three saves and a 3.54 ERA. Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported Gardeck was injured throwing in Surprise, Arizona.
