Is there anything that will stop Donald Trump, especially the last attempt by Marco Rubio? The answer is no.

I found it interesting Sunday morning on MSNBC that Al Sharpton was elaborating on Rubio's comment about Trump being a con man. These negative digs are coming from a man (Al Sharpton) that has some personal issues, enough so I con-tinue to wonder how he stays out of jail over taxes.

I found myself continu-ously wanting to remind those — Republicans and Democrats — that talk about Trump the con man that Barack Obama had no experience in the business sector, had little political experience. � e only thing he could do was give a great speech. I've got to give him that.

Obama's whole political career was won by default, starting with the Illinois Senate. How was he elected? Easy, he was chosen by the I l l inoi s D emo crat i c machine and it spun from there. � en he continued with super delegates success. I touched on that brie� y last week. Yet no one called Barack Obama a con man.

In comes Hillary Clinton. Super delegates will keep her on top along with the DNC and liberal media. She started the primary season up more than 400 delegates over Bernie because of super delegates. Not that I

like what Bernie Sanders stands for, but I do think he's real and sincere, and he's getting a bad deal all the way around.

Last week I really didn't appreciate it when, during a rally for Hillary, speaker Bill Clinton had a veteran escorted out because he asked a question about a lie Hillary told over the caskets of those killed at Benghazi. � e kicker was, the man ordered out by dra� dodger Bill Clinton was a veteran who served two tours of duty in Iraq. Of course the Hillary supporters cheered. It kind of tells you what's important to many Hillary supporters, but certainly not all of them.

On to South Carolina. Hillary had a blowout; 74% carried her. According to CBS Ne ws , Af r ican Americans accounted for 61% of the primary voters, a l t h o u g h A f r i c a n Americans comprise just 29% of South Carolina's population??

Nor will I be shocked on Super Tuesday if Hillary comes out on top again. � e DNC is against Sanders just like the GOP establishment and liberal media is against Trump. Both are last ditch e� orts to stop outsiders, to get rid of people they can't buy or control.

Our country is hungry for real leaders. We all know this has been a very strange campaign, one that no one could have pre-dicted six months ago or

even three months ago. At this point anything can happen. Last Sunday Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, a ve teran (D-Hawaii), announced she resigned from the DNC as Vice Chair so she could support Bernie Sanders, To me that speaks loud and clear!

On to Super Tuesday, March 1. If Trump takes it — and the numbers show he will — as well as March 15, it's pretty much over. In my opinion there will be three le� standing: Trump, Rubio and Cruz. If none get the delegates they need then it's possible we're looking at an open Republican Convention, and that could back� re on the GOP.

I'll leave you this week with a � nal thought (not a prediction):

President Trump;Vice President John

Kasich;U.S. Attorney General

Chris Christie;Surgeon General Ben

Carson;Director of Education

Bernie Sanders;Hillary Clinton indicted.

Until next week.

� e Will of God

Followers of Christ do not believe in luck; they believe in the Lord. � ey do not believe in karma; they believe that the creator, who is all-power-ful, all knowing, and ev-erywhere present, has a plan for this world and for each of His children. True believers seek to know and do the will of God for their life. David’s prayer is a clarion call for all who would know and do the will of God. “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God, may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.” (Psalm 143:10 NIV) Here are some steps to help us learn and deploy the will of God in our life.

PUT JESUS FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. You will never discover and imple-ment God’s will until you make Jesus the utmost Lord of your life. The apostle Paul spent the early years of his life ex-ecuting his own plans.

But Paul had a Damascus road conversion where he fell from his high horse and called Jesus “Lord.” Paul asked, “Who are you, Lord?” He asked Jesus a question that every be-liever who surrenders to the Lordship of Christ should ask, “Lord, what do you want me to do?” (Acts 5:5-6, 10-16) Have you made Jesus the Savior and Lord of your life? “� at if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

PRESENT YOUR BODY TO THE LORD. “Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit . . . and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price, therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (I Corinthians 6:18-20) Paul gives us a key in knowing and doing the will of God. It is pre-

senting our bodies to the Lord as “a living sacri� ce” and being “transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Then we can “prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)

PRAY FOR GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE EACH DAY. Jesus taught us to pray this way in the Lord’s Prayer, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-13) We have the promise of God, “In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:6) God’s Word speaks to those who take time to listen and He listens to those who take the time to pray.

PAY ATTENTION TO GOD’S VOICE. God has a plan for your life. (Jer-emiah 29:11) Learn what God’s will is by reading and meditating on His Word. James admonishes us to not make our own plans but to seek His will. (James 4:13-17) David asks God to teach him His will. (Psalm 143:10) Pray for wisdom to discern His will. (Ephesians 5:8-10, 15)

PARTNER WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. David prayed, “May your good

Spirit lead me on level ground.” (Psalm 143:10) In the book of Acts we � nd it was normal to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice and obey His leading.

PROSTRATE YOUR SOUL TO THE FA-THER’S WILL. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus agonized in prayer, surrendering to the Fa-ther’s will. (Matthew 26:36:44) “Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Surrendering to God’s will brings clarity, peace, and the power of purpose.

PURSUING GOD’S WILL BRINGS YOU INTO A SPECIAL RELA-TIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. � ere is a stronger bond than your natural born family. Jesus said, “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven, is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50) Con-sider this joyous promise, “We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” (Acts 5:29-32)

Is Jesus your Lord? � en seek to do His will in everything you do.Shalom,Cli� SandersEagle Life [email protected]

Recently the Director of Community Development, Gayla Harting, received notice that the City of Centralia is receiving a boost in its ongoing e� ort to remove blighted, vacant and unsafe homes through the Il l inois Housing Development Authority's Blight Reduction Program application that was sub-mitted in September 2015.

� e City of Centralia has been selected for the funding under the Blight Reduction Program from

the Il l inois Housing Development Authority (IHDA). Grant Funds total-ing $665,000 will be used to acquire, demolish and green blighted properties. The City will work with BCMW as their Non for Pro� t Partner with these funds.

“� e program comple-ments our already aggres-sive approach to handling these problem properties,” Director of Community Development and Planning & Zoning Administrator Gayla Harting said.

The Blight Reduction Program (BRP) is used to decrease preventable fore-closure and stabilize neigh-borhoods by supporting

Illinois units of government and their not-for-profit partners as they target blighted, vacant residential properties in speci� c com-munities for demolition, greening and eventual reuse or redevelopment. BRP will work to reduce blight for the end purpose of land reuse, repurposing and/or redevelopment that bene� ts the surrounding residential community and helps reduce foreclosure.

� e City looks forward to working with IHDA in this opportunity to con-tinue our e� orts to remove blight and revitalize the neighborhood stabilization and promoting economic development in our city.

CENTRALIA ANNOUNCES $665,000 IN GRANT FUNDING FROM IHDA

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) is pleased to announce that Emily Hocking from Mt. Vernon has received the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive.

For her Girl Scout Gold Award project, called Babies First, Emily worked with Angels’ Cove in Mt. Vernon. One of the ser-vices Angels’ Cove provides is assistance to teenagers with unplanned pregnan-cies. Emily worked with Angels’ Cove by repainting and decorating a room for an expectant mother. She also provided 25 filled diaper bags for babies as well as 25 expectant mother bags. In addition, Emily also restocked the organi-zation’s pantry.

� rough her Girl Scout Gold Award project, Emily gained valuable leadership

skills that she’ll be able to use throughout her life. “I learned that public speak-ing and being outgoing, organized and dedicated are important leadership skills to have in a project such as this,” said Emily. “I learned that it’s important to have the support of your friends, family and com-munity when working on a project of this magni-tude,” she added.

Emily is the daughter of Amanda and Kenneth Karrick. She is currently a junior at Mt. Vernon Township High School. Emily has been a Girl Scout for 12 years.

The Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can earn, rec-ognizes a Girl Scout's com-mitment to excellence as she develops skills and values to meet present and future challenges in her life.

To earn the Girl Scout Gold Award, a Girl Scout Senior or Girl Scout Ambassador must design and carry out a project that ful� lls a need within a girl’s community, creates change, and is sus-tainable. � e project must be completed with a sug-gested minimum of 80 hours of work. Only about 5 percent of eligible girls earn the prestigious Gold Award.

Today, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. is the largest volun-tary organization for girls in the world. Its sole focus is to meet the needs of all girls (ages 5-17) from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic back-grounds. Today’s Girl Scouts not only enjoy camping and crafts, but they also explore math and science and learn about diversity, good citizenship, leadership and teamwork. Girl Scouting is the place where girls experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together.

CookingWith Lizzie

Healthy Chicken For Sunday DinnerAs a kid growing up, Sunday a� ernoon a� er church was family time. � e table was

set with the � nest china and linens. It was always fried chicken, mashed potatoes with loads of real butter, white cream gravy, green beans fresh from the garden or home canned, corn on the cob or canned corn, biscuits, and of course, there was dessert: Angel food cake, pecan pie, peach cobbler, apple crisp, again, depending on the season.

Today a tradition that has stuck with me is cloth linens and china, but I have to admit, as much as I loved fried chicken and mashed potatoes, it's only on very special occasions these days. Today I still love chicken, but I have found healthy ways to cook it. My, how times have changed.

Polynesian Pineapple Chicken1/3 cup ketchup 2 carrots, thinly sliced3 T. reduced sodium soy sauce 1 T. minced peeled fresh ginger3 T. sugar 1/2 lb. fresh snow peas, trimmed2 T. rice vinegar 1/4 cup sliced almonds1 T. cornstarch 1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained3 tsp. canola oil 1 (8 oz.) can pineapple chunks1 lb. skinless boneless chicken breasts, in juice, drained cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and cornstarch in bowl until smooth; set aside. Heat 2 tsp. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Heat remaining 1 tsp. oil in skillet. Add carrots and ginger; cook, stirring occasion-ally, until carrots begin to so� en, about 2 minutes. Stir in snow peas, almonds, water chestnuts, pineapple, and chicken. Cook, stirring frequently, until snow peas are crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Add ketchup mixture; bring to boil and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Serves 4.

Greek Chicken Pasta Toss1/2 lb. rotini 1 (7 oz.) jar roasted red peppers, 1 lb. skinless boneless chicken breasts, drained and thinly sliced cut into thin strips 1 (14 oz.) can· artichoke hearts,1/4 tsp. salt drained and quartered1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved2 T. extra virgin olive oil 2 T. fresh lemon juice3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled1 tsp. dried oregano 2 T. grated Parmesan cheese

Cook rotini according to package directions omitting salt, if desired; drain. Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with salt and ground pepper. Heat 1 T. oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 6-7 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Heat remaining 1 T. oil in skillet. Add garlic and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, and tomatoes; cook until tomatoes begin to so� en, about 3 minutes. Add lemon juice and chicken; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to large bowl and add rotini, feta, and Parmesan. Toss well. Serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6.

Chicken Marsala4 (1/4 lb.) thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms1/2 tsp. salt 2 tsp. all-purpose � our 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper 1/4 cup Marsala2 tsp. olive oil 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook until cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to platter and keep warm. Add mushrooms to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle mushrooms with � our, stirring to blend. Add Marsala and broth; bring to boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serves 4.

Making the Most of Cat’s 9 Lives

D E A R P A W ’ S CORNER: I’m extremely curious about the average lifespan of cats. Years ago my husband found a stray kitten about 6 weeks old. “Skeezix” lived to be 26 years old until he passed away one night a� er two strokes. We also rescued a stray we named “Sheba,” and we had her for 25 years (the vet couldn’t believe she’d lived so long), so she was at least 26 or 27 when congestive heart failure took her. My two remaining cats, “Mama” and “Baby,” are about 16 and 19 years old, respec-tively.

We’ve never done any-

thing special in terms of care and feeding. � ey all have been spayed or neu-tered, gotten regular vet-erinary care and lived indoors exclusively. I feed them Dad’s dry cat food, split a can of wet food between them occasion-ally, and of course a few Whiskas treats every day. Is it normal for cats to have such longevity? — Fay, via email

DEAR FAY: � ose are amazingly long-lived cats! � e average life span of a common housecat is about 15 years, so it’s safe to say that all of your cats have made it well past that mark.

Is there a magic formula to help your cats live longer? No one has that, but there are some things that will improve a cat’s life over the long term, and you have done all of them. Regular vet care, keeping cats indoors (away from many dangers and stressors), routine feeding and, of course,

lots of TLC can all con-tribute to long life.

So, who is the oldest cat ever documented? That would be Creme

Puff, a cat in Austin, Texas, who made the Guinness Book of World Records in 2005 at the spry age of 38!

Dude, Retire!

I'll never forget the � rst time I met Peyton Manning. He was on the phone, and I had just snapped a photo of him in the most annoying way possible: I had my trusty Minolta set on the anti-redeye � ash setting, the kind where the � ash pops over and over again until your subject gets annoyed and stops smiling. And I'll never forget what he said to me: "Dude ... what are you doing?"

� at's the same day I learned that photogra-phers can't just walk up to the Colts' sideline and stick a camera in their quarterback's face, even with the anti-redeye setting. What can I say? We were both rookies that season. I would later graduate to Kodak, Nikon and Cannon cameras, and Manning would go on to have a pretty decent career, too.

� e � rst time I really started paying attention to Manning's career was during his tenure at Tennessee. It's funny to hear people knock his

arm-strength now, because while he was in college, he was a straight-up gunslinger of a quar-terback. I remember Steve Spurrier taunting him before big games. Nowadays, we all know not to overly criticize college players, ostensi-bly for the reason that they are kids and ama-teurs.

Over the years, at Indianapolis and Denver, we've had the distinct pleasure of watching Manning all but domi-nate the league. He wasn't invincible, as his two Super Bowl losses proclaim, but he was the best in the game. He holds every record that matters: wins (200), yards from scrimmage, touchdowns and MVPs. He was the funniest athlete ever to host "Saturday Night Live"; he's made "Omaha" the replacement term for "hike" in backyards across the country; and he gave the chicken parm sandwich its own, long-overdue jingle. That, right there, is worthy of considerable praise (and consider-

ation for dinner tonight).After winning the

Super Bowl, his gratu-itous beer name-drop-ping aside (no, he wasn't paid to say that, but he does own a share of the brand's beer distributor-ship in Louisiana, and one surmises he made his money back), his not stating the obvious ... that he was retiring ... was a class move. In doing so (or by not doing so) he kept the focus, rightly, on his team's victory.

Should Manning retire? Of course he should. He is playing the most violent game in the world (next to � ghting and hurling). He has nothing left to prove, and he leaves world rec-ognized as the best ever at his position. Granted, I would still pick Joe Montana to lead my team if my life depended on it, but I think Manning catches my dri� .

You don't get chances like this in life — to leave on top — you earn them. If he were to come back next year, rest assured, I'd break out the old Minolta. But this time I'd be the one asking what he was doing, dude.

Replacement China

Q: I have a partial set of Sakura china in the Laredo pattern. It was discontin-ued at least 20 years ago.

Can you help me? I love this pattern and would like to at least have a complete set for six. — Betty, Conway, Arkansas

A: Replacements can probably help you track down the pieces that you're missing, but be prepared for sticker shock, because it won't be cheap. The address is P.O. Box 26029, Greenboro, NC 27428. In addition to china, Replace-ments also helps complete silver � atware patterns and crystal, and even offers free pattern identi� cation. Its toll-free telephone number is 800-737-5223.

***Q: My late great-aunt

was a seamstress through-out the 1920s and '30s. I am in the process of liqui-dating her estate in a suburb of St. Louis. In ad-

dition to two Singer sewing machines, there are thim-bles, thread cases and an assortment of numerous other items, all relating to her profession. Because I can't save everything, I need your advice. — Mandy, Tempe, Arizona

A: I don't want to needle you, but be very careful when si� ing through this estate. Thimbles have become extremely collect-ible, so you should be aware of certain ones, es-pecially those cra� ed by James Fenton, Charles Horner, the Simon Broth-ers, and ones featuring unusual designs such as the "I les Venti lated � imble."

Because Singer sewing machines made during the 1920s and '30s are plentiful and o� en priced for less than $150 at local shops, I do not think they are worth keeping. � e real value of these machines could, however, be the contents of the drawers. Look for vintage needle cases, because one made by W. Avery & Sons re-cently sold for $300 at

auction. Examine care-fully measuring tapes and other items issued as ad-vertising premiums. So you won't get stuck, steer clear of new thimbles ad-vertised as limited edi-tions. � ey rarely increase in value.

***Q: I have a � rst edition

of Frank Yerbe's novel "Bride of Liberty." I have been o� ered $50 for it. — Bill, Akron, Ohio

A: Take it. According to several used-book dealers I consulted, a � rst edition of the novel you men-tioned generally sells in the $15-$25 range. It was published by Doubleday in 1954.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important at any age. But avoiding being overweight or obese can be particularly crucial for seniors, considering many illnesses are tied to body weight. Maintaining a healthy immune system also can require eating a balanced, nutritionally sound diet.

� e Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Medical Center in Virginia says people need to change how they eat for every decade they reach. Caloric intake should be reduced because individuals are generally moving around less, have less muscle and their meta-bolic rates decline. People who find that they are having trouble losing weight in their 50s and older may be basing weight-loss goals on calorie recommendations for younger people.

One challenging thing about eating less overall is supplementing with more nutrient-rich foods. Older bodies still require similar amounts of protein, vita-mins and minerals as younger ones, but older men and women must balance that need with their need to consume less calo-ries. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources, including beans, and choosing whole grains over re� ned starchy foods can be the key.

Watch what you drink, as well. Soft drinks and other sugary beverages may be packed with calories you don’t need. Choose un-

sweetened beverages and opt for water as much as possible. Protect yourself against dehydration, which can be harder to detect as you get older.

In addition to modifying food and beverage choices and reducing their calorie intake, seniors should con-tinue to exercise. Healthy eating paired with moder-ate exercise remains one of the best combinations for healthy weight loss or weight maintenance. � e goal is to consume fewer calories and expend more energy. While cardiovascu-lar exercises can be a good way to get the heart pumping and stimulate your metabolic rate, as you age you should perform strength-training and weight-bearing exercises as well. Muscle mass natu-rally diminishes with age, and according to the Mayo Clinic if you avoid strength exercises you can eventu-ally lose muscle and in-crease the percentage of fat in your body. Strength training also helps you develop stronger bones,

which can help prevent fractures. In addition, as you gain muscle, your body will begin to burn calories more efficiently, making your time in and out of the gym more productive.

Apart from diet and ex-ercise, aging adults may need to consult with their doctors about nutritional supplements. Your body may produce less stomach acid as you get older, making it more di� cult to absorb vitamins from food, including vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Aging skin is less able to transform sun-light into the vitamin, which can a� ect the body’s ability to absorb calcium. De� ciencies in vitamins D and B12 and calcium can result in a number of health conditions. Routine blood work can help pinpoint whether you are de� cient in key nutrients.

� e body’s nutritional and � tness needs change as a person ages. � ose uncer-tain about the lifestyle changes they will need to make should speak with their physicians.

School-aged children spend several hours per day in the classroom in close proximity to one another. � at proximity means that, in addition to sharing their time in the classroom, stu-dents o� en share their ill-nesses.

Many parents understand that kids may come home from school with more than j u s t h o m e w o r k . Communicable diseases and parasites may accompany kids home, and while every sniffle or fever cannot be prevented, there are ways parents can reduce their child's risk of coming home from school with an ailment passed on by a classmate. � e � rst step toward reduc-ing that risk is understand-ing some of the more common ailments.

LiceFew children survive

school without enduring at least one outbreak of lice. Lice are tiny parasites that feed on the blood of their hosts. Head lice are about two to three millimeters in length (about the size of a sesame seed). A female louse can produce between seven and 10 eggs, known as nits, per day. � e nits will hatch and repeat the process of the adults.

Having lice is not an in-dication of poor hygiene. It just means you have come into contact with someone with lice and have contract-ed the parasite. Sharing brushes, pillows, hats, and head-to-head contact with someone who has lice fa-cilitates transmission.

Many old wives' tales discuss how to keep lice from getting into the hair. None of these methods are neces-sarily e� ective. Should lice climb aboard, it is essential to remove all of the nits and adult lice through careful combing and to reduce the numbers of lice until they die o� . In extreme cases, a doctor may recommend a medicated shampoo.

Mononucleosis� e Mayo Clinic says in-

fectious mononucleosis, commonly shortened to "mono," is known as the kissing disease. Epstein-Barr virus, the virus that causes mono, is transmitted through saliva. It can be spread through kissing, but also by sharing cups and straws or if saliva is expelled through sneezing or cough-ing.

Symptoms of mono include fatigue, sore throat,

fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a so� , swollen spleen. Mono is not o� en serious and is even less communi-cable than the common cold. However, it is adviseable to keep a child home from school until symptoms have subsided. � ere is no spe-ci� c method to treat mono, but doctors may suggest a combination of bed rest, pain relievers and drinking plenty of water and fruit juices.

Oral Herpes� ere is a lot of confusion

about herpes circulating because two similar viruses are commonly mistaken for each other. Most of the cases of oral herpes result from the virus herpes simplex 1, or HSV-1.

According to the organi-zation Herpes Online, the oral outbreak of herpes forms cold sores or fever blisters on the lips or inside of the mouth. While these blisters -- and the HSV-1 virus itself -- can be spread through kissing, most young children are diagnosed with oral herpes a� er they have contracted it through the s h ar i ng of ute ns i l s . Sometimes parents inadver-tently pass herpes on to their kids when they kiss them goodnight.

Generally speaking, oral herpes is most contagious when a lesion or blister is present. When scabs have healed and there is no other symptom of the condition, then a person is much less likely to pass the virus to someone else. When a blister is present, the affected person should wash his or her hands frequently and avoid touching the lesion.

Strep � roatA child will get strep

throat when he or she comes in direct contact with saliva or � uids from the nose of an affected person, says the National Institutes of Health. Strep throat is usually caused by group A streptococcus bacteria. It is most common in children between the ages of � ve and 15.

Once a person comes in contact with the bacteria, he or she may begin to feel sick two to � ve days later. Chills, a sore throat, trouble moving the neck, and di� culty swal-lowing are some of the more common symptoms.

Because strep can mimic a viral sore throat, most doctors will take a throat culture to con� rm diagnosis. Should the bacteria be present, antibiotics will be prescribed for treatment. A doctor will advise when it is safe for a child to return to school.

MeningitisMeningitis is the in� am-

mation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known as the meninges. � ere are � ve types of meningitis: bac-terial, viral, parasitic, fungal, and noninfectious. � e se-verity of the illness and the treatment depends on the cause. The most widely known types of meningitis are bacterial and viral. Both are contagious, but bacterial meningitis can be life-threat-ening and requires immedi-ate medical attention.

Meningitis can be spread through exchange of respira-tory and throat secretions. People who have viral men-ingitis � nd it is a less severe form and does not become serious so long as their immune system remains strong.

Symptoms of a meningitis infection may include a sudden onset of fever, head-ache and sti� neck. Nausea, vomiting and altered mental status are also symptoms. Samples of blood or cerebro-spinal � uid are collected to test for the cause of the men-ingitis to begin prompt treat-ment.

Spending time in close proximity with other stu-dents increases the spread of communicable diseases among students. Knowing the symptoms of various communicable diseases can help parents quickly recog-nize an ailment.

CHILDREN SHARE MORE THAN JUST A CLASSROOM AT SCHOOL


� e e� ects that cancer treatment can have on a person's skin have long been overlooked. But pa-tients who have su� ered through skin rashes and burns will be glad to know that a growing trend in treating cancer focuses on curing both the disease and helping patients maintain their self-esteem and quality of life. A new move-ment combining oncology and dermatology aims to address both the disease and the potentially negative consequences that rashes, burns and blemishes can produce.

"For obvious reasons, the skin, hair, and nails have not been the topmost con-cerns in oncology -- the most important goal is to treat and cure the cancer," says Mario Lacouture, M.D., who specializes in dermatologic conditions

that result from cancer treatments. "But skin side e� ects can a� ect patients' sense of self and their in-teractions with others. � ese side e� ects can lead to costly treatments, a� ect overall health, and perhaps most significantly, they may require that anticancer treatments be reduced or stopped altogether."

Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, patients con-cerned about the potential impact that treatment may have on their complexions should discuss their options with their physicians. A� er initiating such discussions, men and women being treated for cancer can take additional steps to main-tain their appearance and quality of life both during and a� er treatment.

• Alter your skin care routine. Upon receiving a cancer diagnosis, patients must make a host of life-style adjustments to many things, including to their skin care routines. Intense skin rashes and burns are common side effects of chemotherapy and radia-tion, and certain side e� ects are actually an indicator that the treatment is

working. While such con-sequences can a� ect pa-tients' self-image, these side e� ects are entirely manage-able.

"What many patients do not realize is that most der-matologic side e� ects are manageable, allowing people to maintain their quality of life and continue their cancer treatments," says Lacouture.

Recognizing traditional skin care products' inef-fectiveness at combating the dermatologic side e� ects of cancer treatment during her own battle with the disease, cancer survivor and entrepreneur Lindy Snider began working with dermatologists, oncolo-gists, nurses, and skin care formulators to address the issue, eventually develop-ing Lindi Skin (www.lindis-kin.com), a collection of skin care products designed speci� cally for individuals undergoing treatment for cancer and related disor-ders. Combining state-of-the-art technology with innovative natural ingredi-ents, Lindi Skin products include a host of botanical extracts boasting anti-in-� ammatory, analgesic, anti-

bacterial, and anti-viral properties, while providing a soothing and gentle solu-tion even for those patients with especially sensitive skin.

"Tarceva, the medication I take for lung cancer, has played havoc with my skin, which has become unbe-lievably dry and sensitive," says Phyllis of Coral Gables, FL. "(Lindi Skin) products are the only ones I can use on my face and body. � ey actually soothe, whereas all others create a burning sensation."

• Embrace antioxidants. Often touted as miracle ingredients in a host of foods, antioxidants can be found beyond the dinner table as well. In developing Lindi Skin, Snider and her team designed an exclusive formulation of concen-trated botanicals that deliver high levels of ben-e� cial antioxidants to the skin. Known as the LSA Complex(R), this formula-tion includes Snider's pio-neering use of astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that is only now beginning to receive widespread recog-nition for its restorative properties, a decade a� er Snider began using it in her skin care products. While astaxanthin can relieve the pain and in� ammation in the skin that cancer pa-tients o� en feel, it also can help those su� ering from less severe, non-cancer related skin problems, such as sunburn, rosacea, dry skin and UV damage.

Skin damage is an o� en overlooked side e� ect of cancer treatment. But cancer patients should know that side e� ects like skin rashes and burns are manageable and don't have to negatively impact self-image or quality of life.

Nail biting, also known as onychophagia, is a common habit that a� ects people of all ages. Biting your nails usually stems from stress or forms as a nervous habit. Most re-search says that children and teenagers make up the greatest number of regular nail biters.

On the surface nail biting may seem like a trivial thing in terms of af-fect ing your health. Although it can seem like biting your nails does nothing more than make the hands look less attrac-tive, there are actually other dangers to repeated nail biting that people prone to the habit should consider.

Firstly, biting your nails can be an unsanitary be-havior. � e � ngers can pick up all measures of con-taminants, and the nails

can be an ideal location for bacteria to thrive since nails are more di� cult to keep clean than the surface of the hands. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, bacteria like E. coli can live beneath the tips of your nails. When you bite your nails, those bacteria end up in your gastrointestinal system and can lead to infection. � e nails also can harbor fecal matter and many other un-savory microscopic parti-cles, even parasites. Biting your nails gives these tiny invaders easy access to your body.

Nail biting also may lead to infections on the � ngers around the nail bed. � e infection, called paronych-ia, causes redness, swelling and pain around the nail. Microorganisms can get into the skin through tiny tears and abrasions that occur while biting the nails and cuticles, says � e Mayo Clinic. If the infection damages the nail bed, you can end up a� ecting nail growth.

Should you have warts on your hands or � ngers, they easily can be trans-fered to your lips and mouth through nail biting.

Nail biting also can cause problems to your teeth. Prolonged nail biting may a� ect how the teeth form in children. It can interfere with dental occlusion, or the manner in which the

upper and lower teeth come together to bite. Eventually teeth can shi� out of posi-tion. The Academy of General Dentistry esti-mates that nail biting can result in thousands of dollars of extra dental work.

While biting your nails may seem like a harmless habit, it actually can a� ect personal health in a number of ways. Explore the di� erent ways to keep from biting your nails to improve the health of your � ngers, your teeth and the rest of your body.

Stress is a part of life for many men and women. But as prevalent as stress is, many people are unaware of the potentially negative side e� ects that can result when stress goes untreated.

According to t he American Psychological Association, chronic stress forces the muscles in the

body to be taut and tense for long periods of time, a guardedness that can make men and women suscep-tible to stress-related disor-ders such as migraine head-aches. In addition, the APA notes that stress can cause people to hyperventilate, which can trigger panic attacks in those prone to

such events. Long-term stress has also been linked to a host of cardiovascular ailments, including hyper-tension, heart attack and stroke.

Stress can be triggered by a host of things, and what’s stressful for some may not be for others. But while people may react dif-ferently to certain situa-

tions, there are some common warning signs of stress that men and women should learn so they can more quickly address any problems with the stress they might encounter.

Physical symptomsStress manifests itself in

various ways, including physically. Physical symp-toms of stress may a� ect the musculoskeletal system, causing muscles to tense up and remain that way until a stressful situation has come and gone. Aches and pains can result as well, and some people coping with stress may experience nausea and dizziness.

Stress also can a� ect the cardiovascular system. When that occurs, uncom-fortable and potentially dangerous symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and chest pain may result.

Emotional symptomsStress also can affect

mood. According to the Cleveland Clinic, signs of emotional stress include apathy, feeling on edge, a change in eating habits, and changes in sleeping pat-terns, which may involve sleeping more than usual or di� culty getting to sleep.

Cognitive symptomsSome people coping with

stress may have to deal with certain cognitive symp-toms. Such men and women may find them-selves in constant states of worry, and their thoughts may race to an extent that makes it di� cult to accom-pl ish cer tain tasks . Additional cognitive symp-toms include poor judg-ment, inability to focus and feelings of forgetfulness and disorganization.

Behavioral symptomsStress also can a� ect be-

havior, and men and women suffering from stress may act nervously. Nail biting, � dgeting and pacing are among the be-havioral symptoms of stress, which may be more noticeable to loved ones or colleagues than the indi-vidual exhibiting the symp-toms. Some people also may procrastinate and avoid their responsibilities when dealing with stress. Increased use of alcohol and drugs or suddenly smoking more cigarettes also are behavioral symp-toms of stress.

Men and women con-cerned about stress should consult their physicians and keep an eye out for any potential warning signs that stress levels are reach-ing unhealthy heights.

• You doubtless know of Alexander Hamilton, o n e o f A m e r i c a ' s Founding Fathers, as the nation's � rst Secretary of the Treasury, and you've probably heard that he was fatally wounded in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr. Most of his accomplishments are not common knowledge, though — and they deserve to be. Born into poverty on the Caribbean island of Nevis, the ille-gitimate son of a Scots merchant, Hamilton began work as a clerk at the age of 11. His employ-

ers were so impressed with his intelligence that they paid for him to attend school in America, where he became involved in revolutionary politics. He was a lieutenant colonel by the age of 20 and managed to marry into one of the most distin-guished families in New York. In addition to writing most of the Fe d e r a l i s t Pap e r s , Hamilton founded the New York Post, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Mint.

• Marie de Medici, queen of France in the early 17th century, once had a gown made that was embellished with more than 3,000 diamonds and 30,000 pearls.

But your sensible self should see it as proof that you must be doing something right.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) More � ne-tuning might be in order before you can be absolutely cer-tain that you’re on the right track. Someone close to you might o� er to help. � e weekend favors family get-togethers.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) � e week continues to be a balancing act ‘twixt dreaming and doing. But by week’s end, you should have a much better idea of what you actu-ally plan to do and how you plan to do it.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Chang-ing your plans can be risky, but it can also be a necessary move. Recheck your facts before you act. Tense encounters should ease by midweek, and all should be well by the weekend. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still be trying to adjust to recent changes. But things should improve considerably as you get to see some positive results. An uneasy personal matter calls for more patience.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Congratulations. Your good in-tentions are � nally recognized, and

long-overdue appreciation should follow. Keep working toward improvements wherever you think they’re necessary.SCORPIO (October 23 to No-vember 2) Try to look at your options without prejudging any of them. Learn the facts, and then make your assessments. Spend the weekend enjoying � lms, plays and musical events.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone might want to take advantage of the Sagit-tarian’s sense of fair play. But before you ride o� to right what you’ve been told is a wrong, be sure of your facts.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might be surprised to learn that not everyone agrees with your ideas. But this can prove to be a good thing. Go over them and see where improvements can be made.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-ruary 18) A� er taking advice on a number of matters in recent months, expect to be called on to return the gesture. And, by the way, you might be surprised at who makes the request.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Reassure everyone concerned that a change of mind isn’t necessarily a change of heart. You might still want to pursue a speci� c goal, but feel a need to change the way you’ll get there.BORN THIS WEEK: You are able to make room in your heart for others, and that makes you a very special person in their lives.
