sounds with our key and card combo, we were offered this cheer: "Four and four is half of sixteen ... all for [the team], do the lean, lean!" And then we all leaned to the right and then we leaned to the left. We did this for little apparent reason or effect, because whatever we were doing wasn't helping the team we leaned for, unless our game plan was to get destroyed

by Florida State.

But that was then, and it was nothing a little Winona Ryder flick on the VHS couldn't cure. Fast-forward to today, and it's a whole new world. Student sections are all the rage, and while that's kind of cool in theory, in practice it often is not.

We get it. You're young and enthusiastic. You need things to occupy your time 45 minutes before tipoff and 4.5 years before you occupy Wall Street. Nobody begrudged you that one week you all went viral and poured milk on your heads or did the Harlem Shake.

But come on, lighten up a

bit.

When ESPN does a remote from your prestigious college home court four hours before tipoff and you're screaming like a banshee in face paint, you do not have to keep claiming that you're No. 1. First of all, you're not No. 1. Put your finger down. Secondly, you're freaking out as if you took the brown acid every time the camera cuts to you. It's high time (no pun) to reassess.

Can't you let up on the throttle a bit and just enjoy the game? Cheer like crazy, sure, but if you are cheering full force for six hours on a Sunday at a Catholic university, you've got to be either off-your-meds crazy or on crazy meds. You're at least suspect.

I'm tired just watching you whip, but watching you nae-nae, too? I'd rather watch the game.

13 home games of the season. Who had held the modern-day mark of 12?

2. In 2015, Eduardo Rodriguez (22) became the youngest Red Sox starting

By Chris Richcreek pitcher since 1967 to win his 1. In 2009, the Los major-league debut on the Angeles Dodgers set a road. Who was it in '67?

3. Name the last NFL derecord by winning their first fensive lineman before

Houston's J.J. Watt in 2014 to have at least five touchdowns in a season.

4. When was the last time before 2015 that the Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team won an NCAA Tournament game?

5. Name the last NHL goalie before Montreal's Carey Price (2014-15) to win the Hart (MVP) and Vezina (top goaltender) trophies in the same year.

6. When was the last time a CONCACAF Gold Cup men's soccer final did not have either Mexico or the U.S. as one of the teams?

7. In 1976, the U.S. Olympic team featured Michael and Leon Spinks and Sugar Ray Leonard, but another American won the award for top boxer. Who was it?

One day, during the Reagan administration, my father put on a college football game. The quarterback was a hotshot by the name of Boomer. Boomer was tossing touchdowns, cheerleaders were flinging all about and the stadium was going accordingly wild.

"That's why you want to go to a big college," my great, successful father, told me.

Not one ever to quarrel with any edict passed down by my parental guidance, I made them proud by at-

And I remember my very first football game as a member of the student section.

I remember the first key play of the game. Why? Because there was this one dude standing on a riser in plastic shades shaking his car keys, admonishing us through megaphone technology to go ahead and shake our own keys! That cheer, I am guessing, would have been made more effective if we had, indeed, more than one solitary key and a flaccid, laminated dining card on our keychains.

FIRST GIRL BORN DURING GIRL SCOUT WEEK IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

Submitted photo

(Front row, L to R): Caleb Engel, baby Mariam Francis, Abby Engel.

(Back): Sheila Jolly-Scrivner, Jeff Co Girl Scout Coordinator; Senior Girl Scout Lexi Scrivner, Girl Scout Leader Deb Hibdon & Lifetime Girl Scout Ruthie Alexander.

The first baby girl born during Girl Scout Week to parents living in Jefferson County was: Mariam Francis Engel, born at 3:12 AM on March 7, 2016.

Parents are Caleb and Abby Engel and this is their first child. The Engel family lives in Woodlawn, IL.

Grandparents are: Tom and B eth Hassler of Woodlawn, IL and Harold and Shana Engel from Kirksville, MO. Abby (Hassler) Engel was a Girl Scout in Jefferson County and her mother, Beth Hassler, was her leader. We had a strong

Girl Scout presence in Woodlawn at the time and Beth Hassler was part of the reason why.

Looks like we will have another generation of Girl Scouts from this fine family!

WEBINAR: “STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DEALING WITH THE CURRENT FISCAL CLIMATE” The University of Illinois Extension Local Government Information and E d u c at i o n Ne t w o r k (LGIEN) will host a free webinar on Thurs., March 17 from noon to 1 p.m. – Strategic Priorities for L o c a l G ov e r n m e nt s Dealing with the Current Fiscal Climate.

County administrators from Champaign County and Peoria County will discuss strategies their counties are implementing to make local government more efficient and cost effective. Presenters Deb Busey and Scott Sorrel will discuss collaborative committees; joint ventures; county board restructur-

ing; improved financial reporting systems; and other cost- saving measures local governments can implement now to conserve resources while still providing quality government services.

Deb Busey is the County Administrator of Champaign County and began working for Champaign County Government in August 1975. She has worked directly with the County Board – first as a County Co-Administrator (1998 to 2009) charged with Finance and HR Management, and then as County Administrator.

Scott Sorrel was named the Peoria County Admin-

istrator in May 2015. Prior to that, he spent more than 22 years with Peoria County. Sorrel started his career in the Planning and Zoning Department, and has been in the County Administrator's office since 2002.

There is no cost to attend the webinars, however preregistration is required.

Register online at go.illinois.edu/LGIEN or for more information contact Pam Schallhorn, Community and Economic Development Educator for University of Illinois Extension at 618-327-8881or pscha2@illinois.edu.

Last week was definitely a huge one in the world of presidential contenders.

• Bernie support surprises • Super delegates • Trump dominates media • All about protests • North Carolina, etc.

• Rubio done?

• Cruz hangs in • Kasich rising • Washington out • Who's dressing Hillary?

First up, B er nie.

Shockingly, Sanders won the Michigan primary last Tuesday night, after the polls showed him recently at 20 points down, but climbing.

This could be "the shot heard round the world" for the Hillary camp. How will Bernie do now in other midwestern states like Illinois, Ohio and more on this Tuesday? (Our press time was Monday.)

Hillary isn't worried about Bernie catching her because she's got the super delegates locked up (currently 465 to Bernie's 25). If the super delegates (the Democrat Party's concept to make sure no "candidate of the people" could win over the party's chosen candidate) were not in play, the race would now be 766 Hillary delegates to Bernie's 561. What a difference the super delegate makes!

I wonder is this really the American way? More on Hillary later.

But who dominated the media news all last week? Of course the answer is: Trump, Trump, Trump.

First, last Tuesday, except for Idaho he won all the state primaries and as he would say "By a lot." Also, Ben Carson came out in support of Trump, and then starting in North Carolina the protesters at Trump rallies escalated. What has always struck me as odd is that protesters think it's their right to disrupt

a political rally. Let me give you an example to relate to.

If the Centralia Orphans were having a pep rally to support their team, do you think the Mt. Vernon Rams would think it was okay to enter the rally and protest the Orphans? I'm sure both sides wouldn't think it appropriate, no matter whether it was an Orphans rally or a Rams rally. And, of course, doing so would only lead to problems.

Back to the North Carolina rally. As protesters were being lead out of the area, and which the media fails to repeatedly mention, one protester raised both arms and gave the booing crowd "the dreaded finger." You know the gesture that usually leads to violence, and it did. He was sucker punched by a 78 year old man, who obviously didn't appreciate "the finger." I don't condone that action, but it does better explain what happened. Then the protests grew at the St. Louis rally and then in Chicago the rally was shut down because of safety reasons according to Trump.

Trump, with his rhetoric at previous rallies, has also escalated the violence and needs to tone down this rhetoric for the safety of all at future rallies. On to other Republican candidates.

Marco Rubio continues his scripted attacks on Trump, but by all indications will probably lose his home state of Florida and will withdraw from the race after Tuesday.

Ted Cruz continues his attorney-like attack on Trump, trying to discredit him for asking his supporters to pledge their votes to Trump. Cruz attempts to make it seem the voters are "pledging allegiance to Trump" the monarch.

In actuality, Cruz, as always, wants to make sure he is the alternate to Trump and will pick up supporters when "Trump fails."

Me anw hile, Ohio Governor John Kasich has risen in the polls and has continued to take the high road in this election. Polls now show he will probably win his home state of Ohio, but after that, then what?

Trump and Cruz will take most future states.

In this election, we must remember that the majority of our citizens are fed up with the last 30 years of Washington politics. That is why Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and somewhat John Kasich are on the wave they are.

They do not represent what the majority of Washington has been doing TO US. Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush (by his name) and other candidates who have dropped out do.

On a final lighter note, Hillary appeared on CNN Sunday night Town Hall.

Her wardrobe choice throughout the race has been mentioned, but at the town hall she appeared in a distracting blue pant suit with GIGANTIC POCKETS with white piping.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

The Anointing At Bethany It’s been said that love isn’t love until it’s given away. True love must find an expression. Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who Jesus had raised from the dead, loved Jesus with all her heart. Mary expressed her love with a remarkable, selfless, extravagant act. The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John record this event, with John telling us that it was Mary. “And being in Bethany at the house of Simon, the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came bearing an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, ‘Why was this fragrant oil wasted? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.’

And they criticized her sharply. But Jesus said, ‘Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me . . . She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial. Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is

preached . . . what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her.” (Mark 14:3-11) Jesus was greatly touched by Mary’s extravagant act. What lessons can we learn?

AN EXTRAVAGANT LOVE. The fragrant oil that Mary poured out on Jesus was very costly.

Those present assessed its value at over three hundred denarii – equivalent to a year’s salary today! He who is forgiven much loves much. To Mary it was an act of worship. The essence of worshiping Christ is to regard him with utmost love, respect, and devotion and to be willing to sacrifice to him what is most precious. This type of extravagant worship will always have its critics.

This woman was criticized sharply. But costly worship pleases God. Abraham willingly laid his son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice. (Genesis 22) We must do no less.

(Romans 12:1-2) AN ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLE. Jesus told the woman’s critics to leave her alone. “She has done what she could.”

(Mark 14:8) Have you given your best to Jesus in worship and witness?

I met a woman in a motorized wheelchair. She lives in a low income, high-rise apartment building. She can’t do much but she makes and passes out Jesus rocks.

This young lady in a wheelchair takes smooth, round pebbles puts a cross sticker on it and on the back with a marker pen writes, “Jesus loves you.” I found another one of her Jesus rocks yesterday on a newspaper box.

She engaged an elementary principle in worship and witness. “She has done what she could.”

Mary had her critics but Jesus praised her. What about you? Are you doing your best to worship and witness for Jesus?

AN EXPRESSION OF THE GOSPEL. Jesus revealed the spiritual application of Mary’s selfless act. “She has come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.” This anointing of Jesus’ body happened just a couple of days before Passover

when the paschal lamb would be slain and the blood sprinkled on the mercy seat. Jesus came to die on the cross for the sins of the world.

(Romans 5:8) In the Last Supper, Jesus demonstrated the gospel at the Passover meal: the bread - His body; the cup – His blood. (Mark 14:22-26) Paul makes it clear that Jesus died, was buried, and on the third day arose. (I Corinthians 15:1-8) This is the essential essence of the gospel – you must believe. (I Corinthians 15:9-11) AN EMBLEM FOR ETERNITY. Jesus proclaimed that wherever the gospel was preached, Mary’s selfless act would be told as a memorial to her. She left a lasting legacy by her extravagant worship and witness.

Men like Jacob and Cornelius left a lasting memorial. (Genesis 18:1022; Acts 10:4) Follow Mary’s example of extravagant worship and leave a lasting legacy that pleases God. Worship the Savior who died for our sins.

LEGISLATIVE DAY AT MURRAY CENTER Take The T Shopper’s Weekly Wherever You Go.

Find the Shopper’s Weekly online & on social media like Facebook & Twitter.

Illinois legislators and candidates gathered at Murray Center in Centralia, IL on Tuesday, March 8, 2016 to tour and learn about the facility.

Legislative visitors included: Mike Hall, representing C ongressman Shimkus's office, Rep. Terri Bryant, Mark Decker representing Rep. John Caveletto's office, Sheila Simon candidate 58th Senate District, Paul Schimpf candidate 58th Senate District, Sharee Langenstein candidate 58th Senate District, and Rep. Charlie Meier. Also, J. B. Meier, the DHS Liaison participated in the event.

The tour began at 1 p.m., and the above people plus over 20 parents/guardians toured the Community Building, visiting classrooms and the Bistro. The Bistro is a small restaurant at the center where staff and individuals are able to purchase small meals and snacks. Several individuals who live at Murray Center are the waiters and waitresses at the Bistro. After visiting this building the group toured Fir Cottage, and Center Director Mary Ann Smith explained the many different services the center provides: occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy and recreational therapy are just some of the services. The group then toured Elm Cottage, a cottage where the most medically fragile individuals live. The cottage director, Misty Diehl, explained the many medical issues the individuals deal with and how the nursing staff serves these individuals. Phil, a Murray individual, welcomed the group using a speech communication device that he uses by pressing it with his cheek.

During the visit to Elm, parents/guardians shared stories of the success their

The group continued the tour, seeing the therapeutic swimming pool and the outdoor recreational areas.

The group then met and they were able to discuss the reasons why Murray Center is so important not just to Centralia, but to all of central and southern Illinois.

Following are some quotes from participating individuals: Paul Schimpf: No one can see from pictures how wonderful this place is. It is the love that is overflowing here that makes all the difference. It is just like two plants. The plant that is

The plant that does not receive this care will wither and die. Murray is the plant that is nourished and loved.

Sharee Langenstein: I came to Murray knowing in my head that Murray must remain open. After visiting here and seeing the love and care the individuals receive here in their home I now know it in my heart. Murray must remain open.

Sheila Simon: It is so very obvious that this is a community. There is no isolation here. It is a community of everyone sharing and caring.

Mark Decker representing John Cavaletto: Rep. Cavaletto has supported Murray Center for over forty years. He regrets not being here today to share this special place with everyone.

Mike Hall representing John Shimkus: John's parents are from Centralia.

Murray Center has been part of his life for over 40 years, and he has always supported the center and fought to keep the center open. Murray is a home to these individuals.

Rep Meier: It is amazing as I walk through Murray Center now to see the old, wonderful atmosphere returning, the volunteers, the parents / guardians, and the caring staff providing the best home for these individuals. This is not an institution. It is a home.

• Keep the pets in mind as you decorate and prepare for Easter. Flowers and candy can be tempting and toxic to our furry friends.

Cats especially take to plastic grass, which can obstruct their digestive system.

And, as the ASPCA reminds us: "While live bunnies, chicks and other festive animals are adorable, resist the urge to buy them — these cute babies grow up fast and often require specialized care!"

• Sewing Tip: Run your thread through a sheet of fabric softener to prevent tangling.

• Are you in the process of pulling flower pots out of the shed? You can remove salt deposits from clay pots by mixing together equal parts white vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water. Put the mixture in a spray bottle.

Spray down the pot inside and out, and scrub with a plastic scrubbie. Rinse and let dry before using.

• "Spray your trimmer line with vegetable oil before installing it in the trimmer to keep it from jamming."

— C.L. in Louisiana • It's spring at the farmer's market: Look for great deals on in-season mangoes, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries, asparagus, artichokes, broccoli and cauliflower, as well as spring onions and lettuces. Also, get ready to stock the freezer, as March is National Frozen Food Month.

• "Use plastic food-storage containers to hold your accessory cords in a 'junk' drawer. If you flip them bottoms up, you can see what cord is in the container to access it quickly.

This way, you don't need to worry about family who don't put things away in the right box. Or is that just my family?" — A.L. in South Carolina • DIY rust removal: Try soaking the item in vinegar for an hour. Use baking soda as a mild abrasive. Or cut a potato in half, sprinkle the cut side with salt, and use it to rub off rust.

by Samantha Weaver • It was President Franklin Roosevelt who made the following sage ob s e r v at i on : "Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob."

• Are you a ceraunophiliac? If so, Central Florida, is the place to live. The area between Tampa Bay on the peninsula's west coast and Cape Canaveral on the east coast is known as

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Consider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of handling a difficult on-the-job situation. Avoid confrontation and, instead, aim for cooperation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, and this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could involve moving to a new location. Discuss this with family members before making a decision.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience also will help you understand yourself better.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles

that family members may be asked to play. Don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clearcut manner.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future.

The choice, as always, has to be yours.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are: “Focus.” “Focus.” “Focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do.

There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are you’ll soon be finding it.

BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you an edge in many areas. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Lightning Alley, and Florida is the lightning capital of the United States — an excellent home for anyone who has an extreme love of thunder and lightning.

• Singer Katy Perry reportedly has a cat named Kitty Purry.

• If you're an animal lover who's fond of Corgis — the Welsh dog known for its extremely short legs — you might want to take a look at the

Munchkin cat. Only recognized as a separate breed in 1995, this cat is characterized by the shortness of its legs.

• When Edgar Allan Poe first started writing his most famous poem, "The Raven," he intended it to be short. Over the next decade, though, he kept adding to it, until it finally reached a length of 18 verses. The poem's publication in 1845 had a mixed critical reception; William Butler Yeats called it "insincere and vulgar" and said "its execution [is] a rhythmical trick," and Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I see nothing in it." "The

R aven" was wildly popular with the public, though, and Poe became — for a brief time — the most famous writer in America.

• Worried ab out snooping? You may be surprised by the results of a recent survey: It seems that 82 percent of men claim that they have never peeked into a date's medicine cabinet.. *** Thought for the Day: "He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers." — Charles Peguy © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
