This is a story about "The Good Ones," the greatest team you've never heard of. And you can't be blamed for that, since The Good Ones flew under the radar and only played intramural softball at the University of Maryland.

The team played great ball, and if the magnificent-looking captain, a former freshman ballplayer with an alleged .314 career average, hadn't been injured in a freak fall down the basement stairs orchestrated by his cat, they probably would have taken home the trophy.

The rest of the team was rounded out by other luminaries, including a few superstar Terp football players, ACC champion wrestlers and club hockey players. And as hard as it is to believe, this shabbily dressed group of athletic ragamuffins also featured Kevin Plank at first base.

Plank, some of you stockholders, sports junkies and financialpublication readers may

the same age as I was when I got booted from that softball game. And wouldn't you just know it? He is sponsored by Under Armour, so I feel a certain kinship. Not just because of the apparel angle, but the loss of cool.

A friend once told me that "He who loses their cool first, loses." As we now know, young Master Spieth quadruple bogied at The Masters, and the naysayers are gunning for him like a mosquito at sunset.

"He didn't shake his hand"; "He never congratulated him"; "He told the cameras to step off "; and blah, blah, blah.

Some have even said this loss will somehow hurt Under Armour, as some Wall Street pundits downgraded the stock.

While I never returned to the field, you can bet that Jordan Spieth will be back. He's 22, and he had a bad hole. If he merely bogied on No. 12, he'd have won his second Masters. No matter what anyone tweets or memes about the kid, no matter what they've heard, trust me ... Spieth is no evil villain here. Put it in context, like my slide into second, to understand I guess you just had to be there.

know, is the founder and CEO of sportswear giant Under Armour. One now surmises that The Good Ones would be a very well-attired team should they ever reform for an old-timers' game.

So this team used to actually draw a bit of a crowd, even if most of the fans were their girlfriends. Maybe that's why the aforementioned captain of the team tried to argue a call in his last game. Maybe he felt he had to show some tenacity.

OK, so the captain was me. This has been bugging me for a long time. Hang with me, here. I was thrown out at second but was safe by a Maryland mile. I tried to argue the call, but my body didn't play ball. My headfirst slide looked more like a sputter into a gutter that knocked the wind out of me, and when I yelled at the ump, it sounded like I was having a seizure. I got kicked out of the game Mark Vasto is a veteran and came off like a bad sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. sport, which I was.

For the third year in a row, Kaskaskia College and the Lakeside Quilters held a reception for area Purple Heart recipients at the Lifelong Learning Center at KC on Monday, April 25. 12 Purple Heart recipients were honored, with each receiving a unique handmade quilt.

In its continuing effort to honor those who has served this country, Kaskaskia College and the Lakeside Quilters group once again teamed up to honor those

who were wounded in defense of this country and received the Purple Heart commendation. This year’s ceremony honored 12 area Purple Heart recipients: Larry Boatright, Carlyle; Charles Deters, Mascoutah; Toby Dothager, Vandalia; Rodney Griffith, Pocahontas, Don Jones, Centralia; Robert Kuhl, New Baden; Ronald Ratermann, Aviston; Ted Rensing, Carlyle; Larry Smothers, Carlyle; Don Timmermann, Breese;

Eugene VanDorn, Carlyle; and Bob Zahn, Trenton.

The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the United States who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.

It is specifically a combat decoration.

As they received their quilt, each veteran was given

the opportunity to speak.

Most did, ranging from simple but heartfelt thanks to the quilters and the organizers of the event, to harrowing stories of how they received the wounds that entitled them to the Purple Heart medal.

Quilters include Pat Herrin, Judy McCarty, Judy Trader, Judy Buchholz, Karen Kolmer, Lael Snyder, Linda Clevenger, Donna Watkins.

Last week, while Donald Trump doubled down on Hillary Clinton playing the woman card, Ted Cruz picked his running mate, Carly Fiorina. Why? In my opinion, he had three reasons: 1) To combat Trump over his recent comment on Hillary playing the woman card.

2) To attract female voters.

3) To help him out in Indiana, a must win for Cruz to go on.

None of the above is going to help. Sorry, Ted, let's face it, most have your number.

Front runner Donald Trump was quick last week to react, calling the move a "waste of time." He continued, "Cruz can't win. What's he doing picking a Vice President?" I would have to agree with that.

But we'll move on to the Indiana primaries for both parties, which will be over by the time you read this column. On the GOP side, as the clock ticked down with Trump in the lead, there was a scramble on Cruz's part to deny Trump a majority of delegates before the Republican Convention in July. Cruz let no page of the campaign playbook go to waste, while Donald Trump was backed by an endorsement from Bobby Knight, the former Indiana University coach, whose brash persona is matched only by his reputation as a consummate winner.

Now folks, let me assure you, I'm not a sports person, but I know who Bobby Knight is, and I can assure everyone that endorsement did nothing but help Trump. It's a matter of fact Trump doesn't do second billings well, especially at his own rallies. He made an exception to introduce Mr. Knight. Then he predicted, "If we win Indiana," speaking to thousands gathered at the arena on the state fairgrounds in Indiana, "it's over, it's over."

Last Friday the Governor of Indiana endorsed Ted Cruz, for what good that will do.

I would agree, and with 57 delegates to be had, I'm going to call it for Trump in Indiana.

On to the Democrats. The 2016 primary on both sides will start to wind down on Tuesday, May 3, with 83 delegates in play for the Democrats. There are a handful of contests the rest of May and June, but those could decide the final nominee prior to the

summer convention for both sides.

Unfortunately, I'm going to call Indiana for Hillary Clinton.

Keep in mind the delegate count is what everyone is watching.

See the sidebar at right for a list of the remaining contests in May and June for political conventions.

My early prediction is Trump and Clinton for the nominees, unless Hillary is indicted (as she should be) and the Republican Party gets to the convention and goes against the peoples's will, and then God help them. Anyway that's my prediction.

And as if things aren't bad enough for Ted Cruz, late last week John Boehner called Cruz "Lucifer in the flesh" and a "miserable SOB." Boehner said as well, "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with most everyone but have never worked with a more miserable SOB in my life."

Boehner, who retired in October from Congress, also let loose on Kasich. He concluded by saying he would vote for Trump. Hopefully he'll get that opportunity.

To Boehner's comment that he had "never worked with a more miserable SOB in his life," Cruz's comeback was, "I've never worked with John Boehner." And to Boehner's Lucifer statement that Cruz was, "Lucifer in the flesh," Cruz said something like, "Boehner? Boehner who?

Don't know him."

Well, Ted, it sounds like John Boehner knows you!

Until next week.

The Washington State Democratic Party does not allocate any delegates from the primary, but rather holds its own caucus on March 26. As a result, Democrats may vote in the primary on May 24 but the vote is considered a “beauty contest” as it holds no bearing on delegates.

SPREHE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS FOR 2016-2017 SCHOOL YEAR The Ralph & Bernice Sprehe St. Mary Parish/ Kaskaskia College Scholarship Trust Selection Committee recently selected 12 students to be scholarship recipients. The Trust will distribute up to a total of $57,792 in the 2016 – 2017 school year to these St. Mary Catholic parishioners to assist them in continuing their studies at Kaskaskia College and 4-year universities of their choice.

R e c ipi e nt s of t h e Kaskaskia College Full Tuition Scholarships valued up to $4,256 each for the 2016 – 2017 school year include: Emma Castellari, Kloe Garcia, Kolten Garcia, Jordan Niepoetter, Ryan Obermeier, Trisha White, Matthew Zelasko.

Recipients of the Baccalaureate Scholarships valued at $4,000 each awarded to Kaskaskia

College graduates who are continuing their studies at a four-year university of their choice for the 2015 – 2016 school year include: Regan Broughton, Martina Maco, Taylor Logullo, John Graham, Jr. Mitchell Martin was awarded a $12,000 scholarship for the 2016 – 2017 school year to attend Greenville College. He has been the recipient of the 4-Year Ralph Sprehe Memorial Scholarship since 2013. The selection of the recipient of this scholarship is based on extraordinary need, performance and individual initiative with the value of the award generally being greater than the other scholarships.

The Sprehe Scholarship Trust was established by a generous gift from Ralph and Bernice Sprehe in 1998 to assist parishioners of St.

Mary Catholic Church in obtaining a college education. The gift was placed in trust and is managed by the US Bank Private Group.

The purpose of the Trust is to serve as a perpetual endowment to assist current and future generations of St. Mary Catholic Church parishioners in attending Kaskaskia College by full payment of their tuition for four consecutive semesters.

Mr. Sprehe expanded the scope of Trust in 2002 by amending t he Tr ust Agreement to include an additional category of baccalaureate scholarships.

These baccalaureate scholarships are for St. Mary Catholic Church parishioners who have graduated from Kaskaskia College and are continuing their studies at a four-year university of their choice.

Cooking With Lizzie

Summer's Bounty: Yellow Squash And Tomatoes Summer is just around the corner and with it comes a bounty of fresh veggies. I've never grown yellow crookneck summer squash. This year I'm trying it, along with spaghetti squash, okra, tomatoes, pepper, green beans, and of course, my herb garden. So I've already started gathering all kinds of yellow crookneck squash recipes that I'm anxious to try. See the squash recipe below, along with some of my favorite tomato recipes.

Simple Stuffed Squash 6 medium-size yellow squash 6 slices bacon 1 medium onion, chopped 1 T. minced green bell pepper 1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine, melted Parmesan cheese

Wash squash thoroughly. Place squash in boiling water to cover; simmer 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and cool slightly. Trim off stems. Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and reserve pulp, leaving a firm shell. Set aside. Fry bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 2 T. drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon and set aside.

Saute onion and green pepper in drippings until tender. Combine onion and green pepper with broth, bacon, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and squash pulp; mix well. Place squash shells in lightly greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spoon pulp mixture into shells; drizzle with butter and sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Yield: 6 servings.

Fried Green Tomatoes 1 cup cornmeal 2 tsp. brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. black pepper

Combine cornmeal, sugar, salt and pepper in small bowl; stir well. Dip tomato slices in beaten egg; dredge in cornmeal mixture, coating well on both sides. Heat 2 to 3 T. oil in large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add layer of tomatoes; fry 3 to 5 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove slices and drain. Repeat procedure, adding more oil to pan as needed, until all slices have been fried. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.

Tomato Aspic 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 2¼ cups tomato juice 2 T. white vinegar 2 T. lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground allspice 1/8 tsp. black pepper 2 dashes hot sauce 1/3 cup diced green pepper 1/3 cup finely chopped celery 2 T. minced onion Lettuce leaves (optional)

The value was found in the "Official Guide to Disney Collectibles" by Ted Hake and published by House of Collectibles. *** Q: I have a GAR badge that was used during an encampment in Indiana in about 1890. What was the GAR, and is my badge valuable? — Bill, Shreveport, Louisiana A: The Grand Army of the Republic was formed immediately following the Civil War "to provide aid and assistance to the widows and orphans of the fallen Union dead and to care for the hospitalized veterans as needed."

The first encampment was staged in Indianapolis in November 1866. The orga-

I managed to save my Davy Crockett lunchbox, and it is in fairly decent shape. How much could I sell it for? — Carl, Tulsa, Oklahoma A: In 1954, Walt Disney produced the Davy Crockett show and it became an immediate hit. The "Ballad of Davy Crockett" shot to the top of the charts, and almost every kid in the country pestered his parents for a coonskin cap. Crockett was portrayed by Fess Parker. Two lunchboxes were produced, one for the American market and the other for Canada.

It is in an oak cabinet that has been damaged by dampness. A neighbor has offered me $600 for it. Should I sell? — Bill, Indianapolis, Ind. A: Take the money and run. According to several dealers I consulted, your machine is probably worth about $300, and perhaps even less with the cabinet damage you described. *** Q: I have a letter that was signed by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1885.

SEEKING HOST FAMILIES FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS International Fellowship Inc. (IFI), one of the oldest student exchange programs in the nation, headquartered in Westfield, NY is seeking families to host their foreign exchange students.

These high school age students are planning to arrive in August for the academic school year. IFI invites families in all states to share their lives, homes and communities with a student. A host "family" can be married or single parent, young parent to grandparents.

Families do not have to have children of their own living at home. The responsibilities of a host "family" are to provide the student with three meals a day (cafeteria lunch is the student's re-

sponsibility), a bed, a place to study, laundry facilities and parental guidance.

All students come with their own spending money for personal items, school supplies and any "extras" they choose to do with friends.

International Fellowship, founded in 1952, has linked more than 25 ,000 exchange students with host families. A host family is asked to provide room and board along with a loving and supportive environment while the student attends the local high school. The host family would play an active role in presenting American culture and making lasting memories that the student will take back to their family, com-

munity and country.

All students have their own spending money, transpor tation and health insurance as well as an eagerness to explore this new world of adventure. The student is monitored throughout their stay in the United States by IFI Local Representatives. The representative is the liaison with the schools, students, host families, and IFI staff. Someone from the IFI office is also available to host families and students 24 hours a day, seven days a week by simply calling the 800 number.

IFI's philosophy is, "Through Knowledge and Friendship Come Understanding and Goodwill." Exchange students add an interna-

tional dimension to host families, schools and communities. All grow in knowledge, understanding and acceptance of cultures very different from their own. Lifelong international friendships often result from being a part of the exchange student experience.

These students help to support local economies and, in a most hopeful way, help to encourage world peace and understanding.

View the IFI website at www.internationalfellowship.org. Please contact them toll-free at 1-800-647-8839 or 716326-7277; fax them at 716-326-7279 or e-mail them at infelwes@gmail. com.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Peace in the Storm Storm clouds are on the horizon. How can we face the storms of life that assail each and every one of us? The disciples of Jesus were in the middle of a storm of epic proportions. Where was Jesus?

He was asleep on a pillow in the stern of the boat.

What did the disciples do?

What can we learn to enable us to face the storms of life? Apply these powerful lessons from Mark 4:35-41.

GOD IS ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING. “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’”

(Mark 4:35) Jesus said, “My Father has been working until now and I have been working.” (John 5:17) To have God working in and through your life, you must be willing to cross to the other side of the lake with Jesus. This requires risk.

Plant that mustard seed of faith and step out. I read a recent Facebook post, “When God is doing some rearranging in your life, don’t fight it. Yield to the Lord and let Him work.

The result will be beautiful.”

TAKE JESUS AS HE IS. “Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was.” (Mark 4:36) In obedience to their Lord the disciples took Jesus in their boat and began to row to the other side of the lake. This is the principle of immediate obedience. In facing life’s storms, lives are at stake.

They took Jesus as He was.

You can’t change God; so don’t try. Jesus doesn’t need to change; we need to change. When the Lord speaks, immediately obey.

King Saul lost out with God because he refused to obey. God’s message was clear, “To obey is better than sacrifice.” (I Samuel 15:22) YOUR ACTIONS IN THE STORM WILL AFFECT OTHERS. “And other little boats were also with Him.” (Mark 4:36) Your actions will affect others either positively or negatively. Paul could say, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” (I Corinthians 11:1) Can we say that?

THE STORMS OF LIFE COME TO ALL. “And a great windstorm arose and beat into the boat.” (Mark 4:37) Even Jesus faced the storms of life while on earth. He is

“touched with the feeling of our inf irmities.”

(Hebrews 4:15) Difficulties in life do not necessarily mean one is out of the will of God. The disciples were right in the center of God’s will.

Storms in life come to all, don’t abandon ship.

Pursue His purposes.

(Romans 8:28) FIND YOUR REST IN GOD. Jesus was asleep on a cushion in the stern of the boat. He had perfect trust in His Father’s care.

In the middle of life’s storms, you can rest secure in His promises and presence. (John 14:1; Philippians 4:6-7) JESUS DOES CARE FOR YOU. The disciples woke Jesus up and asked him, “Don’t you care we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38) In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointed to the birds of the air and said, “Your Father takes care of them and you are more valuable to Him than they.” (Matthew 6:2534) Franklin Graham said, “No matter what storm you face, you need to know that God loves you.

He has not abandoned you.” Don’t question God’s love – He cares for you.

JESUS IS MASTER OF THE WINDS AND THE WAVES. “Then He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” (Mark 4:39) Jesus is the Master of the winds and waves that assail you.

Go to Him in faith and He will speak peace to your soul and calm the raging sea. But Jesus asked a piercing question. “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”

(Mark 4:40) Sow that mustard seed of faith to the One who walks on water, stills the raging storm, and arose victorious from the dead.

When we face the storms of life with the Master of the winds and waves, like the disciples, we will be in awe of His majesty and power. “Who can this be?” (Mark 4:41) Only the Christ, the Son of the Living God! Confess Him as your Lord.

(Romans 10:9)

From the moment she was born I promised to love her, to protect her from all the monster under her bed, and to support her and all her dreams. From the moment she was I promised that I would always provide for her, no matter what.

That’s why I bought Life Insurance, because from the moment I held her I wanted to secure her future in case I couldn’t always be there for her. Because it’s not about my life, it’s about hers.

THE 411 ON MOTHER'S DAY FLOWERS

Mother’s Day is an annual holiday that honors motherhood and provides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them.

The tradition of Mother’s Day in the United States dates back more

holiday in the United States in 1914, thanks in large part to Jarvis’ campaigning. As Jarvis, who never married and never had children of her own, grew old, she criticized Mother’s Day as overly commercial, even trying to have it removed from the calendar. Those efforts failed, and Mother’s Day remains popular now, more than 100 years after the idea for it than a century to 1908, was conceived. when West Virginia While Mother’s Day native Anna Jarvis held traditions have changed a memorial service to since Jarvis first prohonor her mother, who posed the holiday, many had passed away three people feel it’s customary years earlier, and all to give mothers gifts on mothers in Grafton, Mother’s Day, when West Virginia.

The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.

During the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday.” Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, “Mothering Sunday” honored the mothers of England.

During this time many of England’s poor worked as servants for the wealthy.

As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers.

On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the “Mother Church” - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration.

People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

In the United States Mother’s Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle Hymn

of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe would hold organized Mother’s Day meetings in Boston, Mass every year.

In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, the second Sunday of May. By the next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother’s Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother’s Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’s Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May.

A Mother’s Day Poem

Some folks want their luck buttered.

–Thomas Hardy

A Mother’s Love

y a D s ’ r e h t o M y p p Say Ha With A DQ Cake!

There is no love, like a mother’s love, no stronger bond on earth... like the precious bond that comes from God, to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother’s love is forever strong, never changing for all time... and when her children need her most, a mother’s love will shine.

God bless these special mothers, God bless them every one... for all the tears and heartache, and for the special work they’ve done.

And Let Her Know Just How Super She Is!

Centralia Dairy Queen

427 S. Poplar • Centralia • 532-0716

When her days on earth are over, a mother’s love lives on... through many generations, with God’s blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers, for they love with a higher love... from the power God has given, and the strength from up above.

THE SECRET TO MOTHER'S DAY GIFTING SUCCESS: GIVE TIME, NOT STUFF She nursed you through countless cases of childhood sniffles, taught you to tie your shoes and make a mean omelet, and she's still your go-to source for good advice and your favorite home-baked cookies. Are you really going to just give Mom a pair of socks and some flowers for Mother's Day? You can do better than that.

In the tradition of a current pop-culture meme, here's a "give this, not that" list of Mother's Day ideas: Give: Your time. Last year, 44 percent of mothers surveyed by online deal site PriceGrabber said they wanted quality time with their family for Mother's Day. Whether your family includes adult

17

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area

children who live and work far from their childhood home (and Mom) or a busy family with young children, it can be hard to find time to spend with each other on a regular basis. On Mother's Day, make a point of devoting the day to Mom. Whatever you choose to do together - dine out, visit a botanical garden or just hang out at home - you'll be giving her the gift she wants most: time with you.

Don't give: "Stuff."

There's a difference between a thoughtful gift that has meaning to the recipient, and something clearly bought out of desperation just so the giver has something to hand over on Mother's Day. Moms know the differ-

ence. Don't wait until the last minute to buy something she may not want.

Put some thought into the gift a week or two before the big day so you can be sure you're giving her something she really wants, like a piece of unique jewelry, her favorite bath products, or an

e k a M n a C e W y a D s ’ r e h t o Your M e m o C s m a e r D True...

attractive scarf.

Give: A great meal out.

It's easy to understand why dining out was on the list of most-wanted gifts for mothers in every geographic area surveyed.

What could make Mom happier than enjoying a great meal with her family? Not having to

cook it herself or clean up afterward! Taking Mom out for a meal is a timehonored Mother's Day tradition and restaurants can be busy on the first Sunday of May. Don't give: Practical kitchen items. No matter how much Mom says she wants a new electric can opener or how much she needs a new set of pots and pans, don't give these items on Mother's Day. Moms are more than just the sum of the time they spend in the kitchen. If she really needs and wants those things, why not give them to her at some other time of year, for no other reason than she's a great mother? Or, if you must give something kitchenrelated for Mother's Day, consider something that's pretty and fun, too, like decorative serve ware.

Give: Gift cards. A gift card to her favorite store

was another popular selection of moms surveyed.

But don't think giving her a gift card is all you have to do. Research to find just the right card for her, and then offer to accompany her on a shopping excursion to her favorite store.

That way, you'll be giving her two things she wants most - a gift card and time spent with you.

Don't give: Technology.

Do you really want to give Mom a smartphone that will be obsolete by next Mother's Day? Or a tablet so complicated she'll never figure out how to use it on her own? If your mother's digitally inclined, chances are she already has the tech she needs and wants.

And if she doesn't, trying to choose it for her can be like trying to pick a pet for someone else - never a good idea. Instead, keep gift items simple, personal and nostalgic.

JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER’S DAY!

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

MOTHER’S DAY REMINDS WOMEN TO GET SCREENED Mother’s Day is a good time to give mom some of her own advice about “an ounce of prevention.” The American Cancer Society encourages you to be sure your mom is taking the time to take care of herself with regular testing and cancer screenings. They are reminding women of the importance of getting screened for cancer and adopting a healthy, active lifestyle.

Sometimes women take care of their families and not themselves, but they must make it a priority to get to the doctor and get a complete physical examination each year.

Following are ACS prevention and early detection guidelines for the four cancers that strike women the most in the United States: Early detection is key to long-term survival of breast cancer. Women 40

and older should have a mammogram annually.

Clinical breast exams by your nurse or doctor should be part of a periodic health exam about every three years for women in their 20's and 30's and every year for women over 40. Women should know how their breasts normally feel and report any breast change promptly to their doctor or nurse. Breast self-exam is an option for women starting in their 20’s.

Colorectal cancer is 90 percent curable if caught early, yet it’s the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.

All men and women ages 50 and older should begin regular colon testing, including undergoing a colonoscopy every 10 years.

Cervical cancer screening should begin approxi-

mately three years after a woman begins having vaginal intercourse, but no later than 21 years of age.

Screening should be done every year with regular Pap tests or every two years using liquid based Pap tests.

Women should also maintain healthy lifestyle to reduce their risk of cancer and other diseases.

Improper diet and physical inactivity rank as high as tobacco use among established risk factors for cancer. The ACS recommends that women eat a variety of healthful foods with an emphasis on plant sources.

Specifically, ACS nutrition guidelines call for eating five or more servings of a variety of vegetables and fruits each day. They also recommend that adults engage in at least moderate activity for a minimum of 30 minutes 5 days a week.

Special Section HOW TO HELP STUDENTS WHO NEED SPEECH THERAPY Parents who are active in their children's education often find that such an approach is a great way to recognize any potential problems before they have too significant an impact on a student's educational experience. For example, interaction with educators may shed light on a student's developmental readiness.

Parents often first learn of t h e i r c h i l d re n ' s strengths and shortcomings when children are exposed to classroom settings and compared to their fellow students. It is here where teachers may

first recognize obstacles that could hinder students as they pursue their education.

Parents of preschool and kindergarteners may be made aware of speech issues that may require therapy to address. The good news is that children often make tremendous strides once they are enrolled in speech therapy.

Although determining if a child needs speech therapy can sometimes be confusing and take some effort and testing, parents who receive such a diagnosis about their youngster will need to focus on

some skills that can alleviate speech concerns.

• Articulation. Many children require speech therapy because of a speech delay or an issue with articulating. This relates to the clarity of speech sounds and overall speech. A child's speech begins with initial sounds as they mimic the adults around them, which will then form words and phrases. It's common for young children who have difficulty with certain speech sounds to substitute easier sounds for certain letters or sound blends. But if inconsistent

speech articulation or improper sound usage extends beyond a certain age, this may require treatment.

• Fluency and resonance. Some children receive speech therapy due to disorders like stuttering or prolonging sounds and syllables.

When the flow of speech is interrupted by abnormal stoppages or repetition, this can be distracting to both the child and those around him or her.

Some children have problems with the pitch, volume or quality of their voice. These problems can distract listeners from what's being said and make it difficult to communicate.

• Apraxia. According to the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association, childhood apraxia of speech, or CAS, is a

motor speech disorder.

Children with CAS are typically assessed earlier than school age.

Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bones to become weakened and brittle over time, affects millions of people across the globe. The International Osteoporosis Foundation says an osteoporosis-related fracture occurs roughly once ever y 3 seconds, accounting for more than 8.9 million fractures a year.

Younger individuals typically heal from fractures more quickly than older adults, who often discover that fractures greatly impede their mobility and quality of life.

Bone health is important at any age, but it is particularly crucial as a person gets older. Without a strong framework of bones, the body collapses on itself and rates of fracture increase.

Fortunately, there are several

ways to keep and maintain strong bones.

Bones are largely made up of a protein called collagen, which is bound together by calcium and other trace minerals. Vitamin D and calcium work in concert, with vitamin D helping the body to absorb calcium so it can find its way into bones.

Experts advise getting the right ratio of calcium, protein and vitamin D to safeguard against osteoporosis. The Institute of Medicine suggests that adults get between 600 and 800 international units (IUs) of vitamin D every day, and between 1,000 and 1,300 milligrams of calcium daily.

Dairy products, such as lowand nonfat milk, yogurt and cheese, are high in calcium.

Dark green vegetables and almonds contain calcium in

smaller amounts. Obtaining calcium and vitamin D through natural sources is always preferable, but doctors may suggest supplementation if foods are not providing what a person needs to meet the minimum recommended levels.

Exercise is another important component of building strong bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says 30 minutes of exercise each day can help.

Higher-intensity exercises should be mixed with lowerintensity workouts for the best results. Weight-bearing exercises, such as hiking, dancing and stair-climbing,

can build between 1 and 3 percent of bone. An exercise regimen also should include lifting weights or using resistance bands.

Activities that promote good posture and flexibility can help improve balance and alignment of the body.

Perform stretches smoothly and slowly after exercising to maintain your range of motion.

Quitting smoking also can promote strong bones.

Smoking has been linked to poor skeletal health in both men and women, and the longer one smokes, the greater one’s risk for fracture.

RECOGNIZING SUPPORT GROUPS PROVIDE EXTRA STRENGTH CANCERS OF THE EYE Cancer is a prolific paths to take to find a cancer disease that continues to support group. One of the affect millions of people first places to find informaAND EYELID around the world each year. tion is with your own Cancer involves the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a particular part of the body. Cancer begins in one area, but it can invade or spread to other parts of the body if it goes undetected or untreated.

Certain cancers are more familiar to the general public than others, thanks in part to awareness campaigns and charity fundraisers. But no area of the body, including the eyes and eyelids, is immune to cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, the most common type of eye cancer that affects adults is ocular melanoma, while children are more likely to experience retinoblastoma.

Cancer can affect the three main parts of the eye, which include the eyeball, orbit and adnexal structures. The eyeball includes the sclera, uvea and retina.

The orbit is the tissue surrounding the eyeball and the muscles that move the eye in different directions.

Adnexal structures include the eyelids and the tear glands. Cancer that begins in the eyeball is known as intraocular cancer. Many cases of adnexal cancer, or cancer that affects the eyelid, may actually be skin cancer. In fact, MD Anderson Cancer center says more than 90 percent of eyelid cancers are basal cell carcinomas of the skin.

Eye cancer may or may

not produce symptoms, and any symptoms it does produce may be different based on the type of cancer present. Symptoms in adults may include: • a red or painful eye • blurred vision in one eye • change in iris color or dark spots on the iris • bulging of the eye • “floaters” in the field of vision • loss of peripheral vision Early signs of eye cancer are most often discovered by an eye doctor during routine eye examinations.

A person who has any unusual changes in vision will want to visit an ophthalmologist promptly.

Many cancers can be easily diagnosed by a trained physician, and early detection can improve prognosis. The ACS estimates that, in 2015, there will be 2,580 new cancers (mainly melanomas) of the eye and orbit — 1,360 in men and 1,220 in women.

Treatments for eye cancers are similar to the options for cancers that begin elsewhere. Surgery, radiation therapy, laser therapy, chemotherapy, and other targeted therapies may be used alone or in conjunction with another depending on the type of eye cancer present.

Every step will be taken to improve health and reduce the effects of treatment on vision.

The World Health Organization says that each year 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million people die from the disease. Despite the prevalence of cancer, many cancer patients experience feelings of isolation when diagnosed with the disease.

A cancer diagnosis can lead to anxiety and depression, which can impact cancer patients’ ability to fight their disease. Ongoing research into a cure and new treatment options can give individuals hope, but finding a support group can provide the extra boost cancer patients need to make it through a difficult time in their lives.

There are many different

doctor. He or she may have a list of nearby support groups that can help you make it through your treatment. You also may be put in touch with other patients who are going through the same struggles.

Anot her avenue is through a cancer organization. For example, the American Cancer Society has programs and services to help people find the emotional support they need, and that help is usually free.

The National Cancer Information Center has 24-hour support. According to the center, trained cancer information specialists are available via phone, email or live chat to provide accurate, up-to-date information to

patients, family members, and caregivers. These specialists also can help connect callers with valuable services and resources in their communities.

Check with a church or community center to see which programs are available in your community.

Many community support groups meet in hospitals, churches, schools and other centers. These can be another great resource for information and support.

Another resource is online support groups.

Thanks to social media, it’s now possible to connect with people from all around the world in a matter of seconds. Use the search function of Facebook to search for a group that suits your needs.

Support groups can help cancer patients connect with people in similar situations and find the resources and emotional support they need.

DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: A friend of ours recently passed away and left two dogs that need someone to care for them.

We’re happy to take them in, but I know we’ll need to adjust our budget to cover their needs. How much does it cost to care for two healthy adult dogs?

— Karl in Albany, New York

other variables. However, t h e A m e r i c a n Pe t Products Association has come up with some average costs for caring for pets.

For dogs, overall care costs average about $1,650 per year, according to Hearst CIO Roger Paschke, citing an APPA report. About half of that amount goes to veterinary care. Pet food purchases take up another big chunk. And owners tend to spend a bit more on toys and similar products for dogs than they do for cats — $47 versus $28 per year.

So, with two dogs, does that mean you’ll be spending twice that amount, or $3,300 each year? Perhaps. Veterinary costs tend to be non-negotiable, for example — but you could look into purchasing pet insurance to cover unexpected expenses beyond their annual physical and vaccinations. Dogs don’t really need to be fes-

• Scotsmen and their descendants make up almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and almost three-quarters of American presidents.

• An adult human has 60,000 miles of blood vessels.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Temper your typical Aries urge to charge into a situation and demand answers. Instead, let the Lamb’s gentler self emerge to deal with a problem that requires delicacy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are aware of what’s going on, so continue to stand by your earlier decision, no matter how persuasive the counter-arguments might be. Money pressures will soon ease.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) By all means, have fun and enjoy your newly expanded social life. But don’t forget that some people are depending on you to keep promises that are very important to them.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You need to wait patiently for an answer to a workplace problem and not push for a decision. Remember: Time is on your side. A financial matter needs closer attention.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can influence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re finding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities

that would threaten someone less able to balance his or her priorities.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations. Your energy levels are coming right back up to normal -- just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) The sage Sagittarian should demand a full explanation of inconsistencies that might be cropping up in what had seemed to be a straightforward deal.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A conflict between obligations to family and to the job can create stressful problems. Best advice: Balance your dual priorities so that one doesn’t outweigh the other.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t guess, speculate or gossip about that so-called mystery situation at the workplace.

Bide your time. An explanation will be forthcoming very soon.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Boredom might be creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat project. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine and finding a new way to do an old task.
