Celebrating Over 50 Years In Business

For the first month or so, times were fun -- even a bit giddy -- in Cole Field House at College Park, Maryland. Led by head coach Gary Williams, the early ‘90s edition of the Maryland Terrapins were off to a hot start, and their newest recruits, like Joe Smith and Exree Hipp, were electrifying to behold. Smith played center with a calmness and physical grace that made watching him a pleasure. Hipp, who would later go on to play for the Harlem Globetrotters, spent most

Suddenly the other team didn't look like it was wearing hand-me-downs from an intramural volleyball team. The other squad wasn't an undersized troop led by a manic point guard taking 75 shots per game, and the other coach wasn't some wet-behind-the-ears kid barely out of college himself, clutching a clipboard with a death grip while tugging at his ill-fitting dress shirt. On this one particular day, the team that came out of the locker room was wearing powder blue, and the head coach was a guy

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 who carried so much gravitas that the entire student section just stopped and stared. To paraphrase one of the freshmen seated close behind the bench upon seeing Dean Smith in person for the first time: "[Things] just got real." He didn't look like an innovator, and he didn't look very friendly, either. Always in a suit, always with a certain look of intensity, a gaze that seemed to burn right through you. He was a very religious man off the court, and on the court, despite that gaze, he was never "blue" -- didn't curse or throw chairs onto the court. But as soon as you heard the whistle, he unleashed all the furies of basketball hell he could devise. Two-three zones and four corners offensive schemes; shooting nothing but threes or driving for layups ... no dinky jump shots; substituting five players at one time; starting six seniors and taking the technical to begin a final home game. He slowed the game down just so he could speed it up to otherworldly levels. He was amazing. Brilliant.

Gary Williams, who suffered at the hands of Smith's teams for the early part of his tenure at Maryland, recalled how he developed a rivalry with Smith over the course of the '90s. "We had a lot of great games," Williams told listeners of "The Norris & Davis Show" in Baltimore upon learning of Smith's death. "He really went after it. He was a tough guy in terms of competition ... if you weren't prepared you were going to lose, because he was going to be prepared." Smith, who passed Feb. 8 at age 83, was prepared to go. A victim of "the long goodbye" that robbed him of some of his greatest memories in old age, he could always be content in knowing that the list of his accomplishments both on and off the court will continue to resound and rebound and aggressively inbound and come right back down the court inside the minds of those who witnessed his life and the lives he touched. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City.

AISLYN'S DIABETIC ALERT DOG FUND Centralia youth Aislyn was diag nos e d wit h Juvenile Type I Diabetes in 2008 when she was 9 years old. She is a junior in high school currently and is also a freshman at Kaskaskia College. Her dream is to become an Elementary S chool Teacher. Her hobbies include: listening to music, singing, helping others, teaching children and watching them grow, shopping, and baking. Type 1 diabetes is a disease where a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin. It lasts a lifetime and just to survive, one must continually infuse insulin into the body. Although, sometimes her blood sugar levels get too low or too high unexpectedly, it does not stop her from doing what she enjoys in her life. She's had

dog. A service dog will provide her with tranquility in case she is alone and her blood sugar levels go too low. Diabetic Alert Dogs are trained to alert diabetic owners in advance of low (hypoglycemia) or high

(hyperglycemia) blood sugar events before they become dangerous, so their owners can take steps to return their blood sugar to normal, such as using glucose tablets or injecting insulin and hopefully preventing incidents. The dogs are trained to accompany their owners wherever they travel in the same manner as guide dogs and assistance dogs. The annual cost for healthcare is on average $12,500 for each person with diabetes in the U.S. compared to $4,600 for each person without diabetes. Please help Aislyn reach her dreams and enjoy life without having to worry about her condition. Show your support by going to GoFundMe.com/ aislynvaughn.

ZION UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM In November of this past year, Zion United Church of Christ in Central City began its After School Program for the students of Central City Grade School. The After School Program at Zion UCC is designed as a mentoring program; open to all students, K - 8, who want to participate. As of January 31, we have 31 students registered to attend the program with an average attendance of 2 7 stu d e nt s e a ch Wednesday. The program runs every Wednesday form the time school dismisses until 5 p.m. Usually that means from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m., but the first and third Wednesdays of each month we have them from 2:00 5:00 p.m. The students that attend the program vary from Kindergarten to 6th grade. When the students

arrive they are served a snack and then are split into groups for homework or crafts, depending on what they need help with that week, and then get a meal if it is a long day (2 p.m. dismissal). Not all of the students that attend the Zion UCC after School Program need tutoring help, but those services are available. Some of the students attend each week just for the socialization time with their peers. The volunteers form the church have put a great deal of time into this program and are invested in each of these student's lives. They know which students need help with what subjects, who likes what foods, what they like to do when they are not in school and what is going on in their lives outside of school. The impact that the

program is having now and will have in the future on the student's lives is unknown, but we feel that if we can have even a minute impact on just one child's live it makes the program well worth all the effort. The program is funded completely by the Church through donations by the congregation and the volunteers that provide supplies and food each week. If you would like more information about the program or information about volunteering, donating supplies or making a monetary donation, please contact Amber Rhodes, Zion UCC After School Program Coordinator at Zion Unite Church of Christ 618-5321751 or zionuccil@att.net

It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating New Year's Eve and now it's the first of March with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner and only a few weeks later and then it's time to start tilling and getting the garden plot ready. But back to St. Pat's Day... Food and merriment toast the wearing of the green in our family, and a traditional St. Patrick's Day feast is already in the works. So below are some of our favorites and will follow next week with the rest to complete the menu of: Glazed Corned Beef, Parsleyed New Potatoes, Killarney Coleslaw, Irish Soda Bread, Shamrock Pie and Irish Coffee. Dinner is for four so adjust amount accordingly.

1½ pounds new potatoes 1/2 cup butter

After a five-week investigation, police arrested two auto mechanics, who led them to Chaplin’s body. • On March 8, 1982, the United States issues a public statement accusing the Soviet Union of using poison gas and chemical weapons against rebel forces in Afghanistan. Evidence to support these charges was largely anecdotal. Some critics charged that the accusations were a smokescreen behind which the United States could go forward in upgrading its own chemical weapons arsenal. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc

MONDAY NIGHT BINGO MARCH 9TH • 7:00 PM

late agreement came Friday night to fully f u n d Hom e l an d Security for another week. What's the goal here? To play political ping pong or solve problems? The final vote of a long day and night was bi-partisan, 357 - 60 in the House, a little more than an hour after the Senate cleared the measure without so much as a roll call. This whole thing is crazy. There are terrorist attacks all over the world and our rocket scientists in Washington are fighting over funding Homeland Security. Are they serious? Needless to say, House conservatives are probably furious that this measure left Obama's immigration policy intact. And so they should be! Secretary of State John Kerry announced last week that the U.S. is under less threat now than ever before. The rest of the world prob-

ably wouldn't share his opinion! And at the same time came the news that ISIS seized more Christians, bringing the total number abducted to approximately 220, leaving many fearing the outcome. To make matters worse, a video was also released last week of terrorists destroying artifacts, some 3,000 years old at an archeological site in Mosel. The video was posted on social media accounts affiliated with the Islamic State group. Yet, Mr. Kerry thinks we're under less threat! Really? It's too bad some things never change. Mr. Kerry being one of them. And to top everything else off, North Korea vowed to wage a "merciless, sacred war" against the U.S. days before the annual joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises were scheduled to begin. This isn't the first time North Korea has made threats, but the scary part is a new research report by U.S.

experts published last week estimated that North Korea could be on track to have an arsenal of 100 nuclear weapons by 2020. North Korea leaders are another insane group of wanna-be terrorists. The problem is they share a peninsula with South Korea! And last but not least, many questions surround the liberal media and the connection to the Obama administration as the liberal media says there's NO connection. Well, guess what? Below are just a few examples of news organization ties to the White House. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

The Freedom of Forgiveness Being delayed by a train doesn't frustrate me as much as it once did. I've learned to relax and be patient as they pass by. Sometimes I read the graffiti painted on the railcars. A lot of graffiti is gang related and espouses hate, violence, and killing. I'll never forget the day I observed a unique and bright message amidst all the dark and hate filled graffiti. Inscribed on the side of a tanker railcar was this message, "Learn to Forgive". Not long ago a young black man, while standing on his front porch talking with friends, was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting. It was later revealed that the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. The young man sang in his church's choir, was an honor student, and had plans of attending college in the fall. Family and friends were grief-stricken. But the young man's parents publically extended forgiveness to the shooter and said that they were praying for him. It is imperative that we learn to forgive. Consider some the reasons found in the Word of God. FORGIVENESS M U S T B E F R E E LY EXTENDED because we have been forgiven so much. God extends total forgiveness to all who will accept the price paid by the sacrifice of His only begotten Son on the cross. Think

of all the wrongs and sins you committed throughout your life. Yet we are assured that, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' (I John 1:9-10) We are commanded to "forgive one another, even as Christ forgave you." (Colossian 3:12-14) FORGIVENESS WAS DISPLAYED BY JESUS ON THE CROSS. To those who mocked, abused, and crucified him, Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) Jesus set the example of forgiveness. FORGIVENESS IS NECESSARY IF WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) He then gave this sobering warning, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:1415) . Almost 45 years ago, I was sitting in a funeral parlor, looking through tear filled eyes, at three caskets lined in a row - the caskets of my two teenage brothers and a cousin who were killed by a drunk driver. As the young teenager, who drove the car that killed them, walked into the funeral home and stood weeping, God spoke to me about forgiveness. After a

few moments arguing with God, I asked for grace and for God to help me as I put my arm around him and extended forgiveness - I had to forgive. God had forgiven me of so much and Jesus taught that our forgiveness is predicated on our forgiveness of others. Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian church, forgave those who were stoning him to death. With his dying breath, he prayed, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." (Acts 7:59-60) FORGIVENESS SETS YOU FREE. It fills you with God's peace, joy, and love. To allow unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, or hate to simmer and fester in your heart, will poison and eventually destroy your life. Jesus taught that those who will not forgive will be turned over to the tormentors and cause you to miss out on heaven. (Matthew 18:34-35) Unforgiveness opens up your life for the enemy of your soul to bring torment. Forgiveness will bring release and freedom. Recently I came across a post on Facebook, "Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace." When you experience God's forgiveness you are set free to love and totally forgive. Sincerely pray the Lord's prayer, "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) Receive God's forgiveness and freely extend forgiveness to others. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

POPULAR SPORTS FOR ACTIVE SENIORS

PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS If you have psoriasis, an autoimmune skin condition marked by red, flaky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes stiffness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. This type of arthritis can

develop slowly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psoriatic arthritis tends to go through periods of flare-up and remission. Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients. Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis will not necessarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exer-

Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends. Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course. Swimming A few laps around a pool works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to

seniors because it works the muscles and provides a cardiovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints. Cycling Many seniors are avid cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure. You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be. Seniors need not abandon their love of sport just because Father Time is catching up with them. Many sports can be enjoyed by athletes of all ages.

SALEM TOWNSHIP HOSPITAL OFFERING FREE DIABETES HEALTH FAIR March is Diabetes alert month. Salem Township Hospital is having a “Everything Diabetes” Health Fair. Diabetes is a disease that requires daily vigilance and regimens for therapeutic self-management. However, research shows that traditional education methods have not significantly improved self-management. Diabetes, sometimes called ‘sugar,’ is a disease that needs continual care 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Although people with diabetes go on vacation, they never take a vacation from trying to successfully managing their disease. Everyone in the family becomes involved when a loved one has the disease. Family members want to support the individual with diabetes, but they do not always know how. Many families have members that do not get a chance to obtain education about diabetes care needs and sometimes even persons with diabetes lack the important knowledge needed for

KEEP YOUR HEART RUNNING STRONG INTO YOUR GOLDEN YEARS

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a significant lifetime risk of developing the disease. But heart disease does not

have to be an accepted byproduct of aging. For example, a 2014 study published in the AHA journal Circulation found that maintaining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-being and lower risk of heart attack. In addition to increasing physical activity as they age,

older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symptoms have a greater chance of minimizing its affects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack. What are the symptoms of heart disease? Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host

of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each individual condition. The following are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms: • Hypertension: Also known as high blood pressure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. The AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial flushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s office, where their blood pressure can be taken. • Heart attack: The symptoms of a heart attack are different than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. The former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sensation that your heart is skipping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (difficulty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from in-

But arrhythmia can affect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of arrhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succession. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to affect heart function may include symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. How can I protect my heart? Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages. • Get suﬃcient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exercise per day can protect against disease. • Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart

disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track. • Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health. • Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drinking alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, arrhythmia and high cholesterol, each of which increases your risk of heart disease. • Lose weight. Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physician if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds. Heart disease kills millions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of fighting the disease.

SNACK FOODS THAT PROMOTE BETTER SLEEP

more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not.

Ac c o r d i n g t o t h e National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that difficulty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day. But even though difficulty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the

HOW TO EAT AFTER 50

HOME GYMS

As people age, their dietary needs begin to change. Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body. Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional requirements. The following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come. Vitamin D Both men and women age 50 and up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through exposure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supple-

Building a home gym inside your home can motivate you to workout more often and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Fitness experts advise that homeowners building a home gym in their homes emphasize lighting in the room that will soon transform into a gym. A well-lit room, whether the light is coming from several windows, a door or recessed lighting in the ceiling, can help men and women maintain their energy levels throughout their workouts, whereas darker rooms can lead to feelings of sluggishness, which can compromise workout routines. In addition, when building a home gym, keep the room free of clutter and unnecessary items that will only be a distractions during workouts. Potentially valuable additions to home gyms

ments. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 µg), according to Canada’s Food Guide. Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes c a l c iu m ab s or pt i on . Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping neuromuscular and immune function and reducing inflammation. Friendly fats People over age 50 should increase their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrientrich unsaturated fats can guard against heart conditions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neurolog ic a l he a lt h. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty fishes.

Increase protein According to Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass. The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a low-fat source of protein that can help fulfill daily protein requirements. More fiber Eating more fiber can help with digestive and intestinal problems, such as constipation. Constipation can occur when fiber intake is not enough, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle. The best way to get fiber is through diet. Leave the skins on fruit and vegetables and choose whole fruits over juices. Whole-grain breads and cereals also are good sources of fiber. Dry beans and lentils can add a fiber boost. Always increase

fiber slowly to determine your tolerance. Fewer calories The National Institute on Aging says women over the age of 50 need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories, depending on how physically active they are. Men need between 2,000 and 2,400 calories per day. With each passing year there is a decrease in the energy required to maintain body weight, so caloric intake should be adjusted accordingly. More water As a person ages, his or her body may not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehydrated. The Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated. Eating healthy and changing one’s diet is important as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite different from what they were at age 30.

include plants, which can increase oxygen levels in the room, and at least one mirror, which can help men and women focus on their movements and ensure they are performing exercises c o r r e c t l y. Homeowners building a home gym also should consider finding room for a wall-mounted television to make time spent on elliptical machines or treadmills less monotonous. If possible, homeowners should connect a streaming device to the television so they can catch up on their favorite shows or watch movies as they burn calories. It’s also good to find space for a mini refrigerator in the gym, which should be kept well stocked with water. This can prevent runs to the kitchen in the middle of a workout.

WINTER SUPERFOODS FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, it’s important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward off sickness when the temperatures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of difference, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets. Avocado vocado has high levels of essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is important in the biosynthesis of important neurotransmitters. Foods high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winter-related depression. Pomegranate This quirky fruit has vitamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of fiber. Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in reducing joint pain and preventing strokes. Pomegranate may also help the body fight viruses. Cinnamon Cinnamon has high levels of antioxidants, and some studies point to cin-

namon as a natural antibacterial agent. Cinnamon also can help regulate bloodglucose levels, which is beneficial for those with diabetes. Prunes Now widely referred to as “dried plums,” prunes are an important source of boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High in antioxidants, prunes help the body fight a variety of illnesses. Cabbage Cabbage may be a key element in the fight against cancer. Cabbage has phytochemicals that can protect the body against cancer-causing free radicals. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber, which can stimulate a sluggish digestive system. Butternut squash This food is packed with carotenoids, which are stellar antioxidants. The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties. Chestnuts Chestnuts are worthy of inclusion in anyone’s diet. Unlike many nuts, chestnuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. They’re also packed with vitamin C and B vitamins.

But you can help make the world a better place even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to keep a pet. I encourage you to contact a local shelter to see if it accepts volunteers. Many need unpaid volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, from paperwork to cleaning cages and play areas.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Having second thoughts could be a good thing, even if you’re determined to go through with your plans. You might find it worthwhile to take a fresh look at how things have been set up. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Financial matters could continue to be a problem until you’re able to straighten out some of the more pesky situations. Once that happens, the rest should be easier to unsnarl. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters once again take center stage, and should be dealt with competently and quickly. And, again, insist on others taking on their fair share of the responsibilities. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your creative pursuits seem to be running into a roadblock. But rather than blame outside factors, look within to see if you might be holding back your efforts for some reason. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Keep that keen Cat’s Eye focused on relevant aspects of this new situation in your life. Don’t be distracted by trivial matters.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Savvy Sagittarians will look for work-related answers on their own rather than rely on unproved assumptions. It might take more time to do so, but the payoff is worth it.

Get everyone to suggest what he or she would like to see done. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A matter you thought had been settled might still produce surprises. Best advice: Continue to gather facts to bolster your position just in case you need to produce them quickly.
