� e Generalist
It's funny to hear Donald Trump give a stump speech about generals. "We need a Patton or a MacArthur. I always see our generals on TV, saying we can't beat ISIS.
Patton wouldn't be on TV; Patton would have been too busy winning the war. And when he was done, he'd ask 'Where to next?' OK?"
� e scenario he presents has become a reliable applause line, except at, you know, the Pentagon, where one would surmise that the generals don't care much for his assessment. Besides, what does Trump know about war? He all but dodged the dra� during the Vietnam War, but he does know a thing or two about Generals. He used to own them.
While it may seem hard to believe now, there once was an alternative football league. Trump doesn't like to talk about it very much, probably because the United States Football League was a "yuge" disaster. � e story of its sup-posed "premier" franchise, the New Jersey Generals, does o� er a pretty good character
study of the businessman turned presidential candidate.
The league was born in 1983 at the luxurious 21 Club in Manhattan, New York (in case some of you confused it with Manhattan, Kansas). � e idea was to start a "made for TV" league that played in the spring and early summer. It would focus more on the game-play than stars, and it would be the � rst league to be televised on both network TV (ABC) and cable (ESPN). Trump, the guy everyone counted on being the voice of the league and owner of the New Jersey Generals, bailed at the last minute, citing his need to focus on building Trump Tower.
After a losing inaugural season, but plenty of buzz due to the signing of Hershel Walker, Trump bought the team back in 1984 and promptly threw out the script. He signed/stole QB Brian Sipe from the NFL, � red the head coach and dominated the back pages for a while as word leaked that he was trying to hire Don Shula away from the Miami Dolphins. Instead, he hired former Jets coach Walt Michaels and sat back to watch them go 14-4 and lose in the � rst round of the play-offs. Not satisfied, Trump traded away Sipe and then signed Boston College QB Doug Flutie who, like Walker,
was a former Heisman trophy winner. The next season, Walker smashed records and the Generals still lost in the � rst round.
Up until that point, it was still a pretty enjoyable league. Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Doug Williams, Reggie White, Marcus Dupree, Coach Dick Vermeil ... there were some good games (some are avail-able on You Tube). Then, Trump went berserk.
A� er turning the league into a money pit due to lavish spending, some owners walked away. Then teams started to merge. One day we woke up to find that the Houston Gamblers had merged with the Generals. � e league started to turn into "the Art of the Deal." Trump next convinced the other owners to move the league into fall, ostensibly to force the NFL to merge with the USFL. � en the USFL sued the NFL, claiming they had a monopoly. � e judge agreed. � e reward? � ree dollars!
� e league folded, every-one went their separate ways, and Trump refuses to talk about the Generals past ... un less i t ' s Patton or MacArthur, of course.

Since 1916, Girl Scouts have been making mean-ingful, sustainable change in their communities and around the world through their Girl Scout Gold Award projects. � e Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn, acknowledges the power behind each recipi-ent’s dedication to not only empowering herself, but also to making the world a better place for others. As the Girl Scout Gold Award celebrates 100 years of girls changing the world, Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) will highlight some of their shining stars who exemplify the greatness of this award.
A simple newspaper article on a beginner’s class in cemetery cleaning in-spired Cheyenne Chalkus of Salem, IL to pursue her Girl Scout Gold Award. Cheyenne knew she wanted to do something unique for her Gold Award project, and this was just the ticket. She cleared overgrowth and restored vandalized head-stones at Dickens Cemetery,
a historic burial site owned by the City of Salem. A� er obtaining the proper permits to start her project, Cheyenne went to work — � xing damaged memorials, clearing brush and remov-ing poison ivy from the site. To ensure the cemetery would stay maintained, she held a public presentation and distributed pamphlets about volunteer upkeep of historic cemeteries. To emphasize the importance of treating aging burial grounds with respect, Cheyenne included geneal-ogy of those who were buried at the cemetery during her presentation.
Not long a� er earning her Girl Scout Gold Award, Cheyenne earned another prestigious Girl Scout award — the Girl Scout Medal of Honor. The Medal of Honor is a lifesav-ing award given by Girl Scouts of the USA to girls who have saved or attempt-ed to save a human life under circumstances that indicate heroism. This award is reserved for those Girl Scouts who have per-
formed heroic acts beyond the degree of maturity and training to be expected at their age. At the age of 18, Cheyenne saved the life of her 22 month old nephew when he ended up face down and unconscious in a hot tub. � anks to her CPR training, Cheyenne was able to revive her nephew by the time para-medics arrived.
Cheyenne will likely positively touch and save many more lives in the future. She currently attends Kaskaskia College where she is enrolled in the school’s nursing and band programs. Once she grad-uates from Kaskaskia, Cheyenne plans to further her education by pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.
The Girl Scout Gold Award recognizes a Girl Scout's commitment to excellence as she develops skills and values to meet present and future chal-lenges 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. “It’s an accom-plished feeling to have completed Girl Scouts ‘all the way’,” says Cheyenne of earning the Girl Scout Gold Award. “If I could give any advice to future Girl Scouts it would be to � nish Girl Scouts to the fullest (earn the Gold Award) because you will become a better person from the character-istics instilled throughout the program,” Cheyenne added.
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.
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois is a not-for-pro� t organization supported by various United Ways throughout the region. Girl Scouts is a Proud Partner of United Way. For more information, please call Tricia Higgins at 618-242-5079.

St. � eresa of Avila cel-ebrated Catholic Schools Week from January 31 through February 7. During the week the stu-dents participated in the celebration by wearing crazy hair, showed their school spirit in their Rascals gear, dressed like their favorite teacher in the building, wore crazy
socks and di� erent shoes and ended the week topsy turvey.
Their biggest project during the week was to collect money and items for the City of Salem Animal Shelter. � e stu-dents brought in dog food, cat food, treats, toys, collars, bleach, dawn and all sorts of cleaning prod-
ucts for the animal shelter to use. � e students and families collected $425 to donate to the animal shelter to help their animal vaccination program. Catholic Schools Week ended with a Sunday Mass that students and families joined together to cele-brate.

Kask ask i a C ol l e ge student Hannah Woodward is a very strong young lady, with an unshakeable belief in herself. She has needed that strength ever since the events of January 26, 2007.
On that date, Hannah was riding with a friend down Green Street Road when the car she was travel-ling in hit a truck making a le� -hand turn at approxi-mately 90 miles per hour. Hannah was on the side of the car that took the brunt of the impact, which tossed the car more than � � y feet. In the a� ermath, Hannah’s arms, hands and fingers were all broken, her ribcage and hip were crushed, her back was broken in five places, and her spine was severed. An emergency tra-cheotomy was done on the spot.
Hannah wasn’t expected to live. She was airli� ed to Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, where her friends and family gathered to say goodbye. Somehow, Hannah clung to life and was placed in a medically induced coma, where she remained for 10 weeks. She breathed through one tube, was fed by another, and had severe bleeding of the brain. Doctors weren’t sure if she would ever regain con-sciousness, or if she would be able to overcome her brain injury.
But Hannah is a � ghter. She did regain conscious-ness and endured a 10 month rehabilitation at Barnes and Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital. While in rehab, Hannah was immobilized for most of the time, lying � at on her back and with her arms and hip in casts, unable to even sit up. But she had a goal. She was in the class of 2008 at Salem High School, and she wanted to take part in grad-uation. � e hospital pro-vided tutors, and when she was able to come home on Halloween Day in 2007, she had more tutoring.
Unfortunately, the tutor-ing funds ran out before Hannah was ready for graduation. Although she was six months from having the requirements to gradu-ate, she was able, in her wheelchair, to take part in the ceremony.
Hannah had no long term plans, and her day-to-day recovery and care took up her time. Yet these things, while slowing her down, could not stop her. In 2010, Hannah woke up one morning with a strong
resolve to move forward with her life. She began taking GED classes through Kaskaskia College, and praises her tutor, Terry Chappell, for his encourage-ment. When she completed her GED, Hannah took ad-vantage of KC’s scholarship for GED graduates and began classes at the Salem Education Center.
“Everyone here is won-derful,” Hannah said. “� ey are all so genuine and sup-portive, like my own little family.” Hannah especially credits Salem Education Center Director, Janice Eischens, for being unfail-ingly kind and supportive in light of Hannah’s special needs. Despite delays caused by the need for further medical treatment, Hannah is on track to grad-uate from KC.
Hannah wants all of her instructors to know how much she values them, es-pecially Don Beatty, Sam Bundy, and Bruce Jones, who taught the Psychology classes Hannah attended. “Bruce pushed me to expand what I learned,” she said. “I feel like psychology is what I need to do with my life now.” She also pointed out that the KC Trio program and counselor Yvonne Hallam were instrumental in her success as a student. “Yvonne was my right hand,” Hannah said. “Without her to listen and encourage me, and without the stress balls she sent me, school would have been much harder.”
Recently, Hannah met Ju l ie Kerner, Donor Recruitment Representative for the American Red Cross, at a Blood Drive event at the Salem Center. Hannah shared her story with Julie,
and Julie has asked Hannah to speak at area high schools about the importance of giving blood. “I used twen-ty-three units with my ac-cident,” Hannah said. “Without that blood being available to me, without the people who donated it, I wouldn’t be here now.” Hannah will be speaking to physical education classes in Centra l ia , Sa lem, Effingham, Odin, and Teutopolis in the coming weeks.
Hannah is eager to share her story to help others. She knows that without the support of her father Jim, her mother Christa, who serves as her primary care-giver, her boyfriend of 11 years Will, her 4 year old daughter Jenesis, her grand-parents Robert and Teresa Crouch, her sibl ings Connor, Cole, and Jabria, and all of those who helped along the way, she couldn’t aspire to the life she wants to lead. “� e hand I was dealt is not easy,” Hannah said. “But I am focused on the positive side and I want to go on to help people as I have been helped.” She plans to complete her doc-torate in psychology and go into practice.
Even with her physical disability, Hannah is not someone to be easily dis-counted. While her body may have been broken, her spirit, intellect, and deter-mination to live her life to the fullest will carry her forward to ful� ll her dreams. Her personality draws you in, and there is no trace of self-pity in her. Speaking with her makes you feel better about yourself.
Hannah Woodward is more than strong. She is unbreakable.

Releasing the Power of God
� e power of the enemy is devilish and destructive. Jesus revealed his plots and purpose. “For the thief comes not but to steal, to kill, and to destroy. But I have come to give you life and that more abundantly.” (John 10:10) Peter reveals the reality of the devil and the source of the believer’s power over him. “Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stead-fast in the faith.” (I Peter 5:8-9)
The devil empowers people and motivates them to work his wicked schemes. People are fearful of what’s happening throughout the world. Ter-rorists and madmen are wreaking havoc through-out the whole world. North Korea has successfully test � red a long-range missile that has the potential of reaching America with a nuclear bomb. Even more deadly are the � ery spiri-tual missiles the devil is shooting at believers. (Ephesians 6:10-18) Our only hope is faith in the power of the Almighty God. No one, absolutely nothing, can stand before Him. But the power of God
must be released by faith. (I Peter 5:9) Activate these powerful weapons of faith.
FAITH IN THE POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS. Do you realize that if you are a believer in Jesus that you have power inside you? (I John 4:4) You have access to the same power as God! It may be di� cult to wrap your mind around that. Even if you are strong in your relationship with Jesus, admitting that you have actual power requires a child-like faith. We don’t have power of ourselves. Any power in us comes from Jesus, but we have access to that power through our faith in Him! Jesus said that He has given us power. (Luke 10:19) He said that we would do even greater things than He did. (John 14:12) How do we release this power? � rough His name. Jesus said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.” (John 16:23-24) � ere is power in the name of Jesus. Demons tremble and flee at the mention of His name. Just whispering His name unlocks and opens up su-pernatural floodgates of favor and His amazing power. It gets the attention and intervention of angels.
FAITH IN THE POWER OF PRAYER. � e prayer of
faith can move mountains and save the sick. (James 5:15-18) Jesus assured us, “Whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. Hitherto have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:23-24)
FA I T H I N T H E SPOKEN WORD OF GOD. � e power of God is re-leased when you speak forth the Word of God. God’s Word “will not return void.” (Isaiah 55:9-11) � e “accuser of the brethren” is overcome by “the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony.” (Revela-tion 12:11) Speak forth the promises of the Word of God not your problems.
FAITH IN THE LOVE OF GOD. � e scriptures reveal this dynamic of faith, “but faith which works by love.” (Galatians 5:6) A young lady called K-LOVE radio and shared her awesome testimony. She and a friend were sitting in her car at a shopping mall when a young man ap-proached them with a gun and demanded their money. All she had was $12.00. He became angry, pointed the gun at her friend and said that he was going to shoot her if they did not get out of the car. She told him that Jesus loved him and repeated it three times, “Jesus loves you.” � e young man put his gun away and walked o� . “Faith works by love.”
FAITH IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST. Faith in the blood of Jesus and the � n-ished work of Jesus on the cross releases the power of God to bring forgiveness of
sins and deliverance from bondage. “And they over-came by the blood of the Lamb.” (Revelation 12:11; I John 1:9) CH Spurgeon said, “Any faith that rests short of the cross is a faith that will land you short of heaven.”
When you realize you have access to the mighty power of God and you release it through faith in the name of Jesus, great and mighty things will happen for the glory of God.Shalom,Cli� SandersEagle Life [email protected]

6A The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area Wednesday, February 24, 2016
recent proposal to give stu-dents two years of free tuition has sparked a great deal of discussion and debate about improving access to higher education for the general public. While that debate has cen-tered on the cost of such a program, it also highlights the importance of commu-nity colleges in preparing today’s workforce, and the fact that community col-leges are the best deal in terms of providing quality education and jobs-centered training at an affordable rate.
A study by Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies shows that a Kaskaskia College program graduate can expect to increase their career earnings by 61% over those not completing a com-munity college program. Graduates with an Associate of Arts and Science and long term certificate program completers saw their � rst year earnings increase by $10,561. � e study con� rms the value of a community college education, particu-larly KC students who pay less and earn more than the state average, in terms of cost and return on invest-ment. � e annual rate of return on the initial invest-ment for a degree from Kaskaskia College is 36.9%.
Another key reason KC is a better deal for students
is full time students save more than $7,400 dollars on average, per semester com-pared to taking the same load at regional four year universities. � ose savings could double for students taking advantage of one of KC’s many Two-Plus-Two agreements it has with four year institutions.
Area high school students and their parents also get a head start on their higher education experience through KC’s dual credit program. In fiscal year 2015, students who took advantage of the dual credit program saved in excess of $7.8 million dollars com-pared to taking those same number of credit hours at an institution such as Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
That investment in a Kaskaskia College education is also an investment in the local economy as students who attend tend to stay in the area of school upon graduation, unlike four year college students who tend to move out of the area. � is is highlighted by KC’s own job placement results which shows 93% of graduates are employed and working within 50 miles of the region, and 92% are em-ployed within Illinois. � ese students are likely to remain, become part of the fabric of the community and become civic and community leaders.
A community college education is an investment which pays richly for the student and for the com-munity, and Kaskaskia College has a rich history of student success.

Up next on Tuesday, February 23 the GOP caucus in Nevada. But looking back, last Saturday morning the countdown began. Between the Nevada Democratic caucus and the South Carolina Republican primary it was a busy weekend that o� ered few surprises with the exception of Jeb Bush suspending his bid for the White House. In my opinion, it was long overdue, and with that said, is this the end of the Bush dynasty? I've said all along we didn't need another Bush, and we sure don't need another Clinton.
Looking at Nevada and the Democratic caucus, just 30 days ago — one short month ago — Hillary was 25% ahead of Bernie Sanders, and Saturday she was in a � ght for her life. At the close of the Nevada Democratic caucus it was very tight. Clinton carried 52.6% and Sanders ended at 47.3%. � at's close!
So win, lose or draw, Sanders is alive and well,
Hillary just wants to clinch the race to the nomination; she wants it over. But that's not going to happen quickly, if at all. Hillary carried the union households — thanks to Harry Reid — and women, while Bernie Sanders carried the young voters, the first timers.
� is election was supposed to be an easy walk for Hillary into the White House, and at this point, it's been anything but easy! Keep in mind, Bernie is in for the long haul. � is is the year of the out-sider, and Hillary is anything but an outsider. As for money, Bernie is easily matching Hillary dollar for dollar. Bernie's people like his plan. Hillary doesn't have a plan except to get what she wants.
So the big question remains, is she in it for us or is she in it for herself? I found it interesting that not too long ago she admitted many were asking that very question.
She also said a race against Trump would be quite a showdown! Really, Hillary!!!
On to South Carolina. With a record turn out, Trump walked away with 50 delegates while receiving 32.5% of the vote. Marco Rubio came in second, receiv-ing 22.5% of the vote, Ted Cruz was third at 22.3%, Bush had 7.8%, Kasich had 7.6% and Carson had 7.2%.
So what really happened
on the GOP side is it became a three-person race, with Trump the front runner and a toss up between Cruz and Rubio — even a� er Trump's disagreement with the Pope. I have to point out I like John Kasich as well as his track record as a governor.
But keep in mind, I've said it time and time again, if Trump takes South Carolina there's no stopping him. Well, he took it, and there's no stop-ping him. South Carolina will shape the rest of the race, and even with Rubio's showing in South Carolina and major endorsements, my prediction is he'll remain a distant second and Cruz a distant third as a liar (the GOP's own Hillary Clinton).
So with all that said, the Tuesday GOP caucus in Nevada should be interesting. My prediction is Trump will take it! Saturday, February 27 is the Democratic Primary in South Carolina. I believe that between March 1 and March 15 will tell the story. My pre-diction is Trump will be the GOP nominee. So Hillary, you may get your showdown.
Either way, neither Clinton nor Sanders is a match for Trump.
On to the 67th Annual Marion County Lincoln Day Dinner, John and I attended last Saturday evening. We found it enlightening and enjoyed the speakers, espe-cially our State Representative John Cavaletto, as he ex-plained the dysfunction of the State and the problems between Governor Rauner and Speaker of the House Michael Madigan. But more on that later.
There was a straw poll taken with the huge crowd in attendance as per the Republican Presidential can-didates, which indicated where Marion County sits. Trump came in at 31%. Cruz came in at 24%. Rubio came in at 22%. Kasich came in at 11%. Carson came in at 7%. Jeb came in at 4%. It's not so di� erent from the national polls. I would be interested if there has been a straw poll on the Democrat ic s ide . Someone let me know.
On to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's funeral mass which was tele-vised on Saturday. It was a moving ceremony, a celebra-tion of a great man's life. Thousands of people paid
their � nal respects to Supreme Court Justice Scalia.
"God bless Dad for his faith," said the Rev. Paul Scalia, one of Justice Scalia's nine children, who led the service at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. � e two hour long service was attended by such leaders in government as Vice President Joe Biden, former Vice President Dick Cheney and former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, just to name a few. Among them was Justice Clarence � omas who read from the New Testament. Barack and Michelle Obama did not attend the service. I de� nitely felt the President and First Lady should have been there. � ey did attend with 6,000 others who paid tribute to Scalia on Friday at the Supreme Court Building.
But don't fret, White House spokesmen spun Obama's web as to why he couldn't attend the funeral mass. Probably a hot golf game.
Leaving you with this thought: On March 1, it's Super Tuesday with 10 states (mainly southern states) in-volved and over 500 delegates at stake!
The sad reality is in the Democratic Party there are super delegates and regular delegates. The best way to explain is Democratic super delegates to the Party conven-tion are usually members of the DNC and other state and federal officials who are allowed to endorse their own pick regardless of how their home state votes. Right now you'll � nd that Hillary has a massive 362 – 8 super dele-gates lead over Sanders despite having been beaten badly by Sanders in New Hampshire and pretty much tied in Iowa. In regular del-egates Sanders has a modest lead. You've got to love these � xed elections. � e GOP only has regular delegates!
Until next week!

� e 2016 Illinois spring trout � shing season opens on Saturday, April 2 at 50 ponds, lakes and streams
t h r o u g h o u t t h e state. Prospect Park in Moline has been added to the list of spring trout � shing locations.
� e Spring Catch-and-Release Fly Fishing-only season will be available at nine sites beginning on March 19. Fly fishing anglers can use � y � shing gear to catch and release trout beginning March 19 at the nine select sites. No trout may be kept during the � y � shing-only period, but anglers can keep trout a� er the opening of the regular season beginning April 2.
The Illinois catchable trout program is funded entirely by those who use the program through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps. � e IDNR stocks more than 80,000 rainbow trout each year in bodies of water where trout � shing is per-
mitted during the spring season.
No trout may be taken from any of the stocked sites from March 11 until the spring trout season opens at 5 a.m. on April 2. Anyone attempting to take (harvest) trout before the legal harvest season opening will be issued citations.
All anglers — including those using � y-� shing gear who intend to release � sh caught before April 2 — must have a � shing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces. The daily catch limit for each angler is � ve trout.
Not all sites open at 5 a.m. on opening day. Anglers are reminded to check the opening time of their favor-
ite trout fishing location prior to the season.
For more information on trout seasons and other Illinois � shing opportuni-ties, check the website at www.i� shillinois.org.
Illinois � shing licenses and Inland Trout Stamps are available at DNR Direct license and permit locations, including many bait shops, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets. For a location near you, check the IDNR website at this link: http://dnr.illinois.gov/D N R D i r e c t Mo n i t o r /VendorListing.aspx

During Red Cross Month in March, the American Red Cross encourages eli-gible donors to join in its lifesaving mission by giving blood.
Since 1943, every U.S. president has designated March as Red Cross Month to recognize how the Red Cross helps people down the street, across the country and around the world.
Red Cross Month is a celebration of the everyday heroes, like Karla Essmiller, who are the face of the Red Cross in their communities. Essmiller began donating blood and even coordinated a few blood drives when she was in college. “Donating blood is a simple gi� that I can make that may help up to three people live another day,” she said. “� at makes me feel like a hero!”
� e Red Cross depends
on blood donor heroes across the nation to collect enough blood to meet the needs of patients at ap-proximately 2,600 hospitals nationwide. Donors of all blood types are needed to help accident and burn victims, patients undergo-ing organ transplants, those receiving cancer treatments and others who rely on blood products.
Make an appointment to become a hero to patients in need by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Upcoming blooddonation opportunities:

How to Donate BloodSimply download the
American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcross-blood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2 7 6 7 ) t o m a k e a n appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for pa-tients. A blood donor card
or driver’s license or two other forms of identi� cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with paren-tal consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight require-ments.
Blood donors can now save time at their next dona-tion by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcross-blood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

D E A R P A W ’ S CORNER: My mixed breed dog, “Jessup,” is ab-solutely terri� ed of my two cats. As soon as he notices both of them in the room with him, he yelps and runs o� to another room with his tail between his legs. I have never seen any other interaction between them, good or bad. Jessup is a rescue dog, and I wonder if something in his past is causing this. Is there any way to get him past his fear of cats? — Jamie in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
DEAR KATHY: I suspect the same thing: Jessup had a bad experi-ence with a cat in the past,
and the memory still brings up fear.
I don’t know that he can ever completely get past that fear, but perhaps you can reduce his � ight reaction. If the cats aren’t at all bothered by his presence and are gener-ally pretty mellow (for cats, anyway), you can try to desensitize Jessup somewhat.
Do this by gradually reintroducing all the pets into one room. You’ll need a helper for this. First, bring in Jessup and command him to sit or lie down and stay next to you. Keep a supply of treats in your pocket.
Next, have your helper bring in one of the cats, cradled in their arms or, if necessary, in a carrier. They should sit down across the room where Jessup can see them. If and when Jessup begins to react, tell him to sit and stay. Give him a treat if he obeys.
Do this for only a
minute or so at � rst, and gradually extend the time each day. Avoid getting frustrated. If you can get Jessup to stay just a short
time by your side and then calmly leave the room, that would be a big victory..

But don’t sit on your laurels under the cork tree. Use it as a � rst step to a bigger opportunity.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) De-spite the progress made, a hint of doubt might set in. at’s OK. You need to stop and consider not only what you’re doing but also how you are doing. Make adjustments where needed.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) e dreamer is dominant in the Moon Child’s aspect, but a dollop of hardheaded practicality is coming up fast and jockeying for space. e challenge is to make room for both modes.LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good week for Leos and Leonas to start assessing what they’ve done and what they plan to do. Moving to a new environment -- home or job-related -- is a possibility for some Cats.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) e week calls for Virgos to make tough decisions, but in a way that leaves the door open for changes. Ask for advice from some-one who has been in the position you’re in now.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Disappointments are never easy
to take, but you have the ability to learn from them and go on to suc-cess. Meanwhile, continue to build up your contacts. You’ll need them soon. SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) ings might still be going much too slowly to suit you. But you need the time to make sure they’re going in the right direction.

And keep in mind that so many people have faith in your ability to suc-ceed.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Testing the waters is a good way of learning about an opportunity before plunging right in. Ask more questions and be alert to any at-tempts to avoid giving complete answers.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gi� for making people -- and ani-mals, too -- feel special and loved..
• It was columnist and editor Doug Larson who made the following sage observation: "Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own."
• If you're a fan of foot-ball, you've probably seen the leaping lion logo on the helmets of Detroit Lions players. You might not realize, though, that the lion has a name: Bubbles.
• Th e fi rst volume of the
� rst edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was published in 1884, 30 years a� er the Philological Society of London came up with the idea for a dic-tionary that traced the way the language had de-veloped from Anglo-Saxon times. It was esti-mated that the entire project would take 10 years, but in half that time they'd completed just a single volume, covering A to Ant.
• Th ose who study such things say that your brain takes about 0.0004 seconds to retrieve a memory.
• You might be sur-prised to learn that the person who has been nominated for more Academy Awards than any other living person is neither an actor nor a di-rector. American com-poser John Williams — who created scores for such memorable � lms as the "Star Wars" series, "Jaws," "Schindler's List," "Jurassic Park," the "Indiana Jones" series, "Fiddler on the Roof " and the first three "Harry Potter" movies — has (so
far) been nominated for a whopping 50 Oscars, and he has taken home � ve of the statuettes. He's also received three Emmy Awards, four Golden Globes and 22 Grammy Awards — with an as-tounding 65 Grammy nominations to his name.
• It's not clear why, but the incidence of left-handedness in twins is signi� cantly higher than it is in the general popula-tion.
