Prime Cuts The last few weeks of March, the first few weeks of April ... these are the prime cuts for sports fans. You have two leagues — the NBA and the NHL — wrapping up their regular seasons, hopefully with a little drama and playoff implications. The two best championship tournaments in all of sports are being played — the NCAA basketball tournaments and The Masters — and hope springs eternal for the entire nation as baseball teams break camp and head off for their home openers.

TEXAS HOE-DOWN
At no time are there more sport fans on equal footing, more engaged in the goings-on of their favorite team or sport. I never liked the "March Madness" moniker. It's only madness if you think that anybody outside of Duke, Kansas, North Carolina or Kentucky can win the men's tournament. These play-in games are a joke, but I guess it's all that some students will ever really have in terms of feeling the electricity of a national audience. It's not like Red Bank State or Twizzler Tech is ever going to cut down any nets ... it's just better than the programming alternatives for the night. And you have to hand it to the ladies, they have really done a great job marketing and presenting their game. The past year has been the

Wednesday, May 3, 2017 first where I've heard very serious discussion and praise of the women's game, and that's a great thing. And please, do not weep for Sergio Garcia. Far from the "lovable bridesmaid" the fake news media have been making him out to be — this tough-luck Spaniard who never wins anything — we can finally stop with all of that nonsense now that he has won the finest championship in all of sports — The Masters. And he's won plenty, something like 30 tour wins, and he's about to marr y Golf C hannel p ers ona lity Angela Akins, who according to the failing BBC News, wears the "shortest skirt on campus." What's everybody so upset about? The guy plays golf for a living. The Masters is the finest tournament in the world and one of the greatest things humans do on Earth when it comes to sports. It's a place where the best come to shine, where people behave — ever heard of anyone getting in a fight at The Masters? -- where there isn't a cellphone (calls are free), not a speck of garbage, and food and beer
are inexpensive (and tasty). The entire world outside of the National could be on fire and nobody on the grounds would know until they exited the front gates. We need more places like Augusta in the world. More teams make the NBA and NHL playoffs than do not. Think about that for a moment. It's absurd, but not when your team makes the playoffs (and if they don't, you feel terrible). It's good to have the Canadian teams back; it just feels wrong when they're not playing the game that gives their lives so much purpose. That said, I think this finally is going to be the Washington Capitals' year, providing they get past the Penguins and Rangers, and beat the Blackhawks in the finals. On the hardwood, you'd be nuts to bet against Stephen Curry and Golden State, but as long as LeBron is on the floor, there's always a chance for Cleveland. And of course the Cubs will repeat.

Calming a Fearful Dog DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My little Schnoodle, "Daisy," hates noises, thunder, firecrackers and more — but only indoors. We can be outside and have large trucks go by with air brakes squealing, and she doesn't care. But ordinary house noises, like windows creaking, have begun to bother her recently. Last year I got a new front door and it really cracks and creaks in the afternoon when it gets hot. She is petrified of this, shaking and panting the entire time. Please help, as we are at our wits' end. — Pam, via email DEAR PAM: If the issue started over the past year, have the veterinarian check her out thoroughly. Not just her hearing and sight, but for any underlying conditions. While Schnoodles are less prone to certain health

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area conditions of their parent bre e ds (Po o d le and Schnauzer), they could still suffer from inherited conditions. According to the AKC, autoimmune thyroiditis is one possibility; behavioral changes like excessive anxiety are among the symptoms of this condition. However, even completely healthy dogs can develop a phobia to noise, perhaps because they attach a negative experience to a specific noise. In that case, TLC and training can help, along with medication if needed. Talk to the vet about Daisy's noise phobia and work out a treatment and training plan, if possible. For example, use antianxiety medication for a time to help Daisy stay calmer, but then begin replacing meds with positivestimulation training. This is done by making the sound that causes anxiety, but giving Daisy a favorite treat or praise each time the sound is made. There's more to it than I have room to explain here, so consider working with a trainer to help Daisy handle that creaky door. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

GENETIC TESTING CONFIRMS ILLINOIS’ NEW STATE-RECORD CRAPPIE WAS A HYBRID
FLUMMOXED FAIRYTALES RETURNS TO RLC STAGE
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Div ision of Fisheries recently confirmed that a new staterecord hybrid crappie was caught at Kinkaid Lake in Jackson County on March 28. The fish, caught by Ryan Povolish of Carbondale, weighed 4 pounds, 8.8 ounces. The fish appeared to be a black crappie, but genetic testing completed this week by the Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS) confirmed it to be a hybrid crappie. "The fish had the appearance of a black crappie, but that's why we do the genetic testing," said Dan
Rapunzel, (bottom left photo)portrayed by Melina Launay of Mt. Vernon, is locked in the tower by the Witch, played by Aaron Dawson of Benton, during the 2017 Rend Lake College production of "Flummoxed Fairytales." The show, written and directed by Theatre Professor Tracey Webb, features five classic fairytales with a twist to the storyline. In Rapunzel, the main character runs away from home and is locked up so the Witch can cut her hair to make wigs. Princess Fifi, (top photo), played by Kyla Mitchell of Benton, greets the Frog Prince, voiced and puppeted by Garrett Jones of Bluford, with her friends Lord Skeptical played by Dawson, (left), and Lady Snoot played by Launay, (right).

Stephenson, chief of the IDNR Division of Fisheries. "Ryan's catch is another indicator of the great fishing opportunities anglers can find here in Illinois." “INHS was excited to be able to assess Ryan's massive slab crappie,” said Mark Davis, conservation biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey. “Using DNA from a fin clip, we looked at three pieces of DNA from this fish and compared it with both a pure white and a black crappie from Kinkaid Lake. The genetics show that the mother of the record fish was a black crappie, while the father was either a
white or a hybrid crappie.” The previous state-record hybrid crappie, caught in a Jefferson County pond in 2008, weighed 4 pounds, 8.3 ounces. The existing state-record black crappie was caught at Rend Lake in 1976, weighing 4 pounds, 8 ounces. The Illinois record white crappie (4 pounds, 7 ounces) was caught in a pond in Morgan County in 1973.

Donald Trump's saber rattling may or may not deter Kim Jong Un, but it's had an effect south of the border. In the first few months of this year, illegal border crossings have dropped precipitously. It is an early proof of concept that yes, it is possible to secure the border and a victory, even if a provisional and incomplete one, for President Trump's enforcement agenda. Once you stripped away the impossibilities from Trump's rhetoric on immigration during the campaign — there wasn't going to be a wall along the entire border paid for by Mexico, nor were there going to be mass deportations and a Muslim ban — the core of his message was a commitment to crack down on illegal border crossings. This is happening. It has been reported in the press, but it almost never makes it into the conversation about his first 100 days. If Trump had promised to almost immediately reduce
illegal border crossings from Mexico to a 17-year low, it would have been dismissed as bombast. But here we are. On the border, there is cause to be at least encouraged by all the winning. According to t he Department of Homeland Security, there were 17,000 arrests at the border in March, the lowest figure since 2000, and down significantly from the nearly 60,000 arrests in December. The message has been received that President Trump is, to coin a phrase, a bad hombre. His tough rhetoric alone would be enough to make would-be migrants think twice. But the administration also has tightened up on enforcement; both immigration arrests and socalled detainers — requests to local law enforcement to turn over to the feds illegal immigrants in jail — have increased. Enhanced enforcement, real and perceived, is clearly affecting the decision-making of would-be migrants. The fees charged by so-called coyotes to bring people across the border have risen, reflecting the higher risk. A jump from, say, $3,500 to $8,000 represents an enormous new expense for a mother in Honduras, especially if her chances of staying in the United States are diminishing.
Some caveats. First, the Trump administration will have to continue to strengthen enforcement. Otherwise, illegal immigration will bounce back to its normal trend. The experience after the 1986 amnesty confirms this. The law was supposed to include tougher enforcement, and this expectation initially suppressed immigrant flows. When it became clear that it was all talk, illegal immigration continued as before. Second, visa overstays are a large and perhaps growing contributor to illegal immigration. This deserves as much attention as the border. Finally, the administration will have to resist the urge to declare victory and go home. The moderates in the White House may be tempted to soften Trump's image via a grand bargain on immigration, arguing that it's "mission accomplished" on enforcement and time to pivot to a large-scale amnesty. Despite the hostile press coverage, what Trump has done so far on immigration is hardly radical and basically represents a return to the pre-Barack Obama status quo, when the federal government didn't openly flout its own laws. For now, it has gotten results. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Department of Education, college graduates typically earn more and are less likely to face unemployment than those with a high school diploma. Over the course of a lifetime, the average worker with a postsecondary degree will earn
approximately $1 million more than a worker without a postsecondary education. In fact, by 2020, an estimated two-thirds of job openings will require postsecondary education or training. RLC is a comprehensive community college located in Ina in Southern Illinois. Rend Lake College offers more than 100 associate
degree and occupational certificate programs, preparing students for transfer to a four-year university or direct entry into the workforce.

By Larry Cox McCoy Cookie Jars Q: I am not really a collector, but I have two McCoy cookie jars that I'm curious about. Both originally belonged to my mom and are probably from the 1950s. One is a Jack-o'-Lantern jar that was rarely, if ever, used.
The second is a "Mr. and Mrs. Owl" and shows some wear. I remember the second jar always being full of vanilla wafers. — Cora Ann, Tulsa, Oklahoma A: It isn't much of a surprise that cookie jars are among the most popular collectibles produced by
McCoy. It also is not a big shock that McCoy cookie jars also are plagued by fakes. Knowing the original measurements is helpful when trying to determine if a jar is the real McCoy or not. Your Jack-o'-Lantern jar was produced in about 1958, and according to "Warman's McCoy Pottery," by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books, it is valued in the $550 to $650 range. Since you indicated your jar is pristine, it would probably be worth on the high end. The same guide lists your owl jar at
about $110. The Moran guide is excellent, and essential for anyone who collects McCoy items. *** Q: My mom visited New Orleans during the 1950s and while there she purchased a copy of "The Picayune Creole Cook Book." Is it worth keeping? — Tom, Pittsburgh A: Your cookbook was published in 1954 by the Times-Picayune newspaper. Since it was purchased during the 1950s, I assume it probably was the 12th edition. The first edition was published in either
Wednesday, May 3, 2017 1900 or 1901 and became an instant classic. The collection featured Creole recipes and generally sells in the $25 to $50 range, depending on edition and condition. *** Q: When I was a kid during the 1950s, I was given a small tin litho Shell service station and bank as a premium. I have kept it ever since, but have always been curious as to how much it is now worth. — Ken, Abilene, Texas A: Your Shell service station and bank is worth $140 for the pair, according
to Mark F. Moran, author of Warman's Gas Station Collectibles Identification and Price Guide (Krause Publications, $24.99). *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.
• On May 1, 1926, Ford Motor Company becomes one of the first companies in America to adopt a five-day, 40-hour week for its automotive factory workers. Other manufacturers soon followed Ford's lead, and the Monday-to-Friday workweek became standard. • On May 7, 1945, Gen. Alfred Jodl of the German High Command signs the unconditional surrender of German forces. Jodl had hoped to limit the terms of German surrender, but Allied commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower demanded complete surrender. • On May 3, 1952, a ski-modified U.S. Air Force C-47 becomes the first aircraft to land on the North Pole. Lt. Col. Joseph Fletcher walked to the exact geographic North Pole, probably the first person ever to do so. • On May 2, 1964, an explosion of a charge assumed to have been placed by Viet Cong terrorists sinks the USNS Card at its dock in Saigon. No one was injured and the ship was eventually raised and repaired.
• On May 4, 1970, National Guardsmen open fire on a group of unarmed antiwar demonstrators at Kent State University in Ohio, killing four students and wounding nine. The nearest casualty was 20 yards away. A federal court later dropped all charges against eight Ohio National Guardsmen. • On May 5, 1776, British Lt. Gen. Henry Clinton issues a proclamation denouncing North Carolina patriots' "wicked rebellion" and recommends that the inhabitants return their allegiance to the king. Although he offered full pardons to all persons, it was not a success and he abandoned the area. • On May 6, 1994, a rail tunnel under the English Channel officially opens, connecting Britain and the European mainland for the first time since the Ice Age. The "Chunnel" runs below the seabed for 23 miles. Each day, about 30,000 people, 6,000 cars and 3,500 trucks journey through the Chunnel.

by Samantha Weaver • It was beloved poet William Wordsworth, best known for helping to launch the Romantic age in English literature, who made the following sage observation: "The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." • The world's largest bird, the ostrich, may not be able to fly, but that
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 counterarguments might be. Money pressures soon will 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 “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. BORN THIS WEEK: You can warm the coldest heart with your lyrical voice and bright smile. You find yourself at home, wherever you are. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
doesn't mean its wings are useless. As the fastest bird on land, the ostrich uses its wings for balance while slowing down and making turns as it runs at speeds of up to 45 mph. • In 1994, a man named Robert Puelo started cursing and shouting at employees in a convenience store. When the employees (understandably) threatened to call the
Wednesday, May 3, 2017
police, the man stole a hot dog and ran out. The police were called, and upon arrival, they discovered Puelo outside the store, unconscious and turning purple. Paramedics were called, but by the time they arrived, it was too late; the man had choked to death on his stolen sausage. • Some gourmets claim that the most delicious meat they've ever eaten is roast monkey. • Those who study such things say that when a man and a woman who have been romantically involved break up, the pair are more likely to remain friends if it's the
woman who initiated the split. • You might be surprised to learn that light doesn't always travel at the speed of light. In fact, light has been recorded traveling as slow as 38 mph. • The word "widow" comes to modern English via the Old English word "widewe," which in turn comes from a Sanskrit term meaning "empty." Thought for the Day: "The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been." — Madeleine L'Engle © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
The Way of the Cross It is the most life altering walk of history. Hollywood has its “Walk of the Stars” – the walk of the rich and the famous. The one who walked the road of the Way of the Cross walked a lonely road. Over 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ walked the gauntlet of reproach, rejection, and suffering, carrying his cross up Golgotha’s hill to be crucified outside the city of Jerusalem. B e c a u s e C h r i s t’s Passion was accomplished in a specific geographic and historic place, thousands of pilgrims have journeyed to the Holy Land to follow the steps of the Savior that he walked that day up the Way of the Cross. The narrow, winding stretch of road between the Antonia fortress and Golgotha’s hill where Jesus walked, bowed under the weight of the cross, has undergone many changes over the centuries since the times of the gospels. The Way of the Cross is not simply a physical, geographical, or historical exercise. Walking the Way of the Cross is a spiritual exercise of devotion, thanksgiving, and worship for multitudes of pilgrims.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
The good news is that you do not have to go to the Holy Land to walk the Via Dolorosa in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus was so weakened by the abuse and pain afflicted on him that he fell under the weight of the cross he was compelled to carry up the Way of the Cross to the Place of the Skull, where he died for you and me. Will you receive His cross and follow the steps of Christ? God’s Word gives us this admonishment. “For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps.” (I Peter 2:21) If you would follow the Way of Christ’s steps, know they are marked by these footprints for us to follow. THE WAY OF SUBMISSION. Jesus was totally submitted and yielded to the leadership of His Heavenly Father. (Matthew 6:10; Luke 22:42) Jesus said, “If anyone would come after
me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” (Mark 8:3435) Do you follow His example? THE WAY OF SERVANTHOOD. Jesus knew from where he came and where he was going. (John 13:3) Because of this he had no problem being servant to all. Jesus gave us his example to follow when he washed the disciple’s feet. (John 13:1-17) Your certainty of where you come from and where you are going will enable you to be a servant in like manner. THE WAY OF SERIOUSNESS. Jesus was full of joy and promised our joy would be full but he took life very seriously. He was sober-minded, not given to silliness, double-mindedness, or idleness. He told us our eye must be single. (Matthew 6:22) Are you following His pattern? THE WAY OF THE SUPERNATURAL. Everywhere he went signs and wonders followed. Jesus’ birth, ministry, death, and resurrection involved the power of the supernatural miracle working God. God hasn’t changed. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) Are signs and wonders following
you? THE WAY OF SPECIFIC PURPOSE. Jesus came to save that which was lost and to destroy the works of the devil. He came to save you. Even the Apostle Paul needed Christ’s salvation. “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am chief.” (I Timothy 1:15) Have you accepted his sacrifice on the cross for your sins? Have you sought Him for his will – his specific purpose for your life? THE WAY OF SACRIFICE AND SUFFERING. He came to give something – his life – for the sake of something else – your redemption. Do you live a life of sacrifice? Jesus walked the way of sacrifice for you. Do you “share in the fellowship of his suffering?” (Philippians 3:10; Romans 8:17) THE WAY OF SUPREMACY. (Philippians 2:8-11) If you continue to follow his steps, you are also destined to rule and reign with him for eternity! (Revelation 5:9-11) Follow Jesus on the Way of the Cross.
