Southern Cooking With Lizzie: Catch Of The Day PAGE 5
I wrote a simple column last week about Peyton Manning, and this week I write an even simpler one.
Last week I shared how I � rst met Manning (behind
the Colts' bench during the � rst half of a game versus the Falcons, in a place I was not allowed to be, taking red-eye reduction � ash pictures with my trusty Minolta). Also, I opined that he was one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time ... top 10 for sure. He is
the QB with the most wins ever, the only QB to win Super Bowls for two di� erent teams, and he holds a host of other passing records that usually surpass QBs with names like Brett Favre and Dan Marino. You get the point.
Even though Manning failed to provide a stellar performance during Super Bowl 50, he grabbed most of the limelight when Denver's defense deserved more (and as an aside ... if Denver was the home team, why did they opt for the all-white uni-forms? How do you not go with the "Orange Crush" unis?). Manning managed to suck all the air out of the
room anyway. It happened just like we
knew it would. You could run a soundtrack of Howard Cossell, Bill Grigsby, Pat Summerall, Keith Jackson and all the rest of the great legends who once graced the NFL broadcast booth. Win or lose, Peyton Manning, his arm on a string, the aging legend in perhaps the � nal game of his career.
Will he retire on top? Will he go to the Los Angeles Rams and reintroduce foot-ball to the tra� c-addled city of angels for trillions of dollars? Will he jump into the booth?
Most importantly, will he � gure out how to deal with
the story that has him sexu-ally harassing a Tennessee trainer during his college tenure? A story that has all but robbed him of any extra glory he was entitled to for his feats on the � eld?
Here's my simple conclu-sion, so easy to understand that even a caveman would grasp it: Stop abusing women.
Manning has already ad-mitted to some manner of vulgar action in the incident that happened a quarter century ago. � e story came back to haunt him at the worst possible time, as o� en happens in life when you think you're on top of the world. � e world is like a pot
of crabs ... there will always be those that want to drag you down.
The solution is simple: apologize. Own it. Give the woman another million or whatever it is she wants if you're guilty enough. You made a bad decision, now move on.
For the rest of the NFL, the idea rings clear, too: Hit a woman, hit a cop, hit anybody o� the � eld, you're out of the game. Simple enough for you?

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 recipient’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) is highlighting some of our shining stars who exem-plify the greatness of this award.
A great part of the success of many organiza-tions relies heavily on the quality and dedication of volunteers who are pas-sionate about the organiza-tion they are serving. � is is true about Girl Scouts as an organization, and this is true about Angie Zahn as a long-time Girl Scout volunteer.
Angie Zahn from Trenton, IL is a Managing Broker with Strano & Associates Real Estate. Even with her busy career, Angie has found time to pour her heart and soul into Girl Scouting. Being a Girl Scout Troop Leader for 29 years is quite an ac-complishment in itself, but it doesn’t stop there for this volunteer. Angie has worn (and still wears) many hats with Girl Scouts, ranging from Day Camp sta� to Board of Directors Chair. One of the roles that Angie has held for several years, and still holds today, is that of Girl Scout Gold Award advisor and mentor.
The Girl Scout Gold
Award is the highest award a girl can earn in Girl Scouting. To earn this award, a Girl Scout Senior or Girl Scout Ambassador must design and carry out a project that ful� lls a need within her community, creates change and is sus-tainable. � e project must be completed with a sug-gested minimum of 80 hours of work, and only about 5 percent of eligible girls earn the prestigious Gold Award. To say that a girl’s Gold Award Advisor is instrumental in her journey would be an un-derstatement.
Angie began her adven-ture as a Girl Scout Gold Award Advisor by first mentoring her daughter through her Gold Award project. Angie’s daughter, Jennifer, developed a summer reading program for kids in their hometown of Trenton. Jennifer ar-ranged for speakers, door prizes and activities for the kids at the library all summer. Angie went on to mentor another 6 girls through their Gold Award projects, including Sarah Monical who is now Angie’s Troop Co-Leader. She hasn’t stopped there; Angie is currently working with her eighth Girl Scout who is going for Gold.
“At the end of the day, we talk a great deal about how the Girl Scout Gold Award project was de-signed to bene� t others. What I have seen time after time is truly the bene� t to the girls. � e payback for our girls comes from � nding out they are capable of making a di� erence, that they are capable of making deci-sions that a� ect themselves and others, and that they have it within themselves
to succeed,” said Angie of the Girl Scouts she has mentored.
As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scout Gold Award, Angie encourages other adults to consider becom-ing a Girl Scout volunteer and Gold Award advisor. She states, “There is nothing more satisfying than watching a young woman recognize her own power and realize her dreams.”
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 cra� s, 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.

For more than 30 years, blood donor Sherri Kay has been helping the Red Cross ful� ll its lifesaving mission. “Knowing that I help to save lives and make a dif-ference through the Red Cross is one of the most signi� cant things that I do,” she said.
Heroes of all blood types are needed to ensure a suf-� cient blood supply this spring. � e Red Cross must collect approximately 14,000 blood and platelet donations every day for patients.
Make an appointment to donate blood by download-ing the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Catch of the DayNew Orleans is famous for delicious foods from shrimp scampi to fresh oysters, but this famous city
isn't alone. � e same holds true in all the southern states with a coastal line. I'm one who could live on seafood and seafood dishes, from gumbo to fried cat� sh. Some of my favorite recipes are below. � ey're easy, fast and low in calorie intake, so enjoy.
Cornmeal-and-Almond Trout2 T. cornmeal 2 (3/4 lb.) whole rainbow trout, cleaned1 T. sliced almonds 1/2 T. butter1/4 tsp. salt + additional to season � sh 4 lemon wedges1/8 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper + additional to season � sh
Combine cornmeal, almonds, 1/ 4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper in food processor or blender and grind to � ne consistency. Transfer to large, � at plate or sheet of wax paper. Spray trout with olive oil nonstick spray and season with salt and pepper, including cavities of each � sh. Roll in nut mixture to coat all over. Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add trout and cook until browned, about 5 min. each side. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until trout is just opaque in center, 2-3 min. each side. Serve with lemon wedges. Serves 2.
Citrus Red Snapper2 T. all-purpose � our 3 scallions, sliced 3/4 tsp. ground coriander 1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth3/4 tsp. ground ginger 2 T. orange juice1/4 tsp. cayenne 1 T. fresh lemon juice4 (1/2 lb.) red snapper � llets 1 T. fresh lime juice2 tsp. vegetable oil Lemon and lime slices, for garnish1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced
Combine � our, coriander, ginger and cayenne on sheet of wax paper. Coat one side of each � llet with � our mixture. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add � llets, � oured-side down, and cook until browned on bottoms, 2-3 min. Transfer to plate. Add bell pepper, scallions, broth, orange juice, lemon juice and lime juice to skillet; return � llets to skillet, browned-side up. Reduce heat and cook, covered, until � llets are just opaque in center and bell pepper is so� ened, 3-5 min. With slotted spatula, transfer � llets and vegetables to platter. Cook pan juices until reduced to about 1/4 cup, about 3 min.; pour over � llets. Serve, garnished with lemon and lime slices. Serves 4.

Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until just opaque in center, 3-4 min. each side. Transfer shrimp to plate. Add broth and garlic to skillet; cook until broth is reduced by one-half, 3-4 min. Stir in lime juice and cook about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and butter, stirring to blend.

Take TheShopper’s WeeklyWherever You Go. I can't stress enough the
2016 election is for the Republican establishment to lose through nothing more than greed and control. And as for Mitch McConnell and his recent comment, accord-ing to a New York Times leak he said, "We'll dump Trump like a hot rock" if he's the GOP nominee. In my opinion, McConnell is no better than Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and of course Il l inois ' own Michael Madigan. All four have been in o� ce way too long.
It's not that I'm all in for Donald Trump; it's how dare the Republican establish-ment try to sabotage the will of the people. It's called de-mocracy, and the GOP's Washington bureaucrats' threats to name someone else is not what this country was founded on and not what many have fought and died for. It's called freedom.
And to make matters worse, in comes Mitt Romney with his hateful comments against Trump. This from someone that didn't throw his own hat in the ring for President in 2016. Perhaps time will tell. I personally supported Mr. Romney in 2012, but I can't support his e� ort to unhinge the people's rights in a way no American (Democrat or Republican) should support. And in the end, he only helped boost Trump's numbers and make a fool of himself. (Mr. I-was-for-him-before-I-was-against-him.)
If the Republican estab-lishment continues, they'll be helping Hillary get elected — a woman that should be sitting in a jail cell and could be before the 2016 election.
Could it be we're watching the Republican Party as we
know it break up? I said before this is their election to lose. � e big question is do they get it?
Shades of 2012 when they lost — or should I say gave away — the White House to Barack Obama, a do-nothing President for four years, backed by — for the most part — a corrupt administra-tion. He was weak and inex-perienced, not to mention a Congress with an approval rating of 13%, and people wonder why Trump is so popular. It's because of people in Washington like McConnell, Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama, the great divider — people who could care less as long as they can control.
On to the GOP debate last � ursday, a most important one since it was the last before March 15. Millions across the country watched and talked about the debate. � ere were only four on the stage: Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Kasich. One of the � rst questions out of the box was addressed to Trump about Romney's negative press conference. What was that about, other than ratings? And three of the candidates played right into it. That evening, in my opinion, John Kasich was the only adult on stage.
� en over the weekend Democrats faced o� in cau-cuses and primaries in Kansas, Louisiana, Maine and Nebraska. Bernie took three of four, Nebraska, Kansas and Maine, not a bad showing for Bernie. The stakes were high with a total of 155 delegates up for grabs.
For the Republicans it was more of the same in Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana and Maine. In the end, Trump and Cruz split the states two and two. Kentucky and Louisiana were for Trump, and Kansas and Maine were for Cruz. Rubio won Puerto Rico.
Polling has started in Rubio's home state of Florida where early polling shows Trump in the lead. If Rubio doesn't take his home state, my prediction is he's out, and if Trump takes Florida and Kasich's home state of Ohio, other than for the establish-ment destroying him, Trump will be the GOP nominee.
But if Kasich takes Ohio and Rubio takes Florida, it could change the dynamics of this election, possibly giving the Republican estab-lishment the opportunity to name a nominee in July when we could be looking at a brokered convention. And if that happens, I can assure you the Republican Party will lose the White House, in turn making the American people the greatest loser.
But a� er listening to the last Democratic debate Sunday night, I'll take any, including Donald Trump, over the two brain dead can-didates of the Democratic Party.
Leaving you this week with one thought: One thing I'll predict is the entire cam-paign cycle and election is unpredictable.
Until next week.

Vintage Newspapers
Q: I have about a dozen New York weekly newspa-pers from the 1870s, '80s and '90s. What makes them interesting is that they contain stories about William "Bu� alo Bill" Cody, Jesse James and Calamity Jane. Most are illustrated. Whom can I contact about these historic papers? — Ken, Mason City, Iowa
A: The collecting of vintage newspapers is an interesting hobby, and many issues have increased in value during the past two or three decades. For example, newspapers pub-lished during the American Civil War which sold for $10-$25 per issue a few years ago are now bringing two or three times that amount. Extremely his-toric issues, such as the ones which reported the Lincoln assassination, are much more valuable.
Timothy Hughes is an expert who buys and sells
old newspapers, and he might be able to help you determine the value of the publications you have. His contact information is P.O. Box 3636, Williamsport, PA 17701; [email protected]; and www.rare-newspapers.com.
***Q: I have several old glass
fruit jars that are a bluish/green color. How do I � nd out if they are of any value? — Marla, via e-mail
A: I get this question at least two or three times a month, and my answer is always the same. "1000 Fruit Jars Priced and Illus-trated" by Bill Schroeder is still my favorite guide. Each jar is identi� ed and illus-trated, making it a snap to � nd out if you have a rare or common jar. Schroeder, who began collecting fruit jars during the 1960s, � rst published this guide in 1969; it has since gone through a number of print-ings.
***
Q: I have two $100 bills issued by the Confederate States of America, in se-quence No. 106641 and No. 106642. � ey are in perfect condition and dated Feb. 17, 1864. I would like to contact someone to � nd out their value. — Marie, Palacios, Texas
A: According to the Standard Catalogue of World Paper Money: General Issues, 1368-1960, edited by George S. Cuhaj (KP Books), two $100 bills were issued by the Confed-erate States of America on Feb. 17, 1864. � e smaller bill is worth in the $30-
$110 range, depending on condition, and the large specimen, $45-$150.
***Write to Larry Cox in
care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to [email protected]. Due to the

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois will join nearly 3 mi l l ion Gir l S couts throughout America in celebrating the 104th Anniversar y of Girl
Scouting March 6-12. Girl Scouts of Southern
Illinois will celebrate the 104th anniversary by par-ticipating in a variety of local activities and events.
Girl Scouts o� en celebrate the occasion in their com-munities by participating in such events as � ag cer-emonies at their schools, birthday party celebrations
and community service projects with their troops while others will create displays highlighting Girl Scout history.
“� e Girl Scout law and
mission statement both focus on making the world a better place. During our 104 year history, our girls and volunteers have con-tinued to live by this stan-dard,” said Villie M. Appoo, CEO Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois. “Girl Scouts are passionate about making their communities and the world a better place, and the Girl Scout Leadership Experience gives them the courage, con� dence and character to follow their dreams,” Appoo added.
Girl Scout Sunday (March 6) is when many Girl Scouts receive special religious recognition awards for researching and exploring their religious culture and practices. Many girls will proudly wear their Girl Scout uni-forms to their religious services to kick-off the week’s events.
“Girl Scouting is com-mitted to being a vital part of our communities. During Girl Scout Week, we salute and thank all those who continue to o� er their support to Girl Scouting. � e positive in-� uence Girl Scouting has on young people is depen-dent on our dedicated vol-unteers and supportive community members,” said Appoo. “During Girl Scout Week, we renew our com-mitment to ensuring that every girl has the opportu-nity to grow strong and realize her full potential. But we need your help! We invite everyone — men and women — over 18 to vol-unteer with Girl Scouts. You don’t have to be a troop leader; even if you can only donate one hour of your time once a year, you’ll be making a great di� erence in the lives of girls.”
It’s been 104 years since the � rst Girl Scout troop meeting, and Girl Scouting has evolved from 18 members to nearly 3 million nationwide. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA is the largest voluntary orga-nization for girls in the world. Its sole focus is to meet the needs of all girls (ages 5-17) from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeco-nomic backgrounds.
After returning to the Unite d St ates f rom England, Juliette Gordon
Low made a historic phone call to her cousin in March 1912, “Come right over! I’ve got something for the girls of Savannah, all America, and all the world, and we’re going to start it tonight.” � e “something” was Girl Scouts, and the first group of girls em-barked on Low’s vision. Low was determined to help expand opportunities and learning for the average American girl. At a time when many girls’ paths in life were limited to their social standing, Low’s vision was to establish an organization where any American girl could expand her personal horizon by having fun, while exploring new interests and contrib-uting to society.
The mission of Girl Scouting states: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, con� dence, and character who make the world a better place. Girl Scouts is the world's pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls — all girls — where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with com-mitted adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives — like strong values, social con-science, and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.
Today’s Girl Scouts not only enjoy camping and cra� s, but they also explore math and science and learn about diversity, good citi-zenship, leadership and teamwork. Girl Scouting is the place where girls expe-rience the fun, friendship and power of girls together.
Girl Scouting has in-spired more than 59 million girls and women since its founding in 1912.
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.

Since 1997, AFA’s partnerships have awarded more than $8 million in academic scholarships and pro-vided leader training to 10,000 students and young professionals.

Eliphaz, ancient Job’s friend, gave this assess-ment of Job’s plight — “Man is born to trouble, as the sparks f ly upward.” (Job 5:7) � e Merriam Webster Dic-tionary de� nes trouble as, “to agitate mentally or spiritually, disturb, worry. To produce physical disorder in: a� ict . . . an instance of distress or annoyance. Disease or ailment of heart.” Jesus gave some signs of the times and the end of the age. “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earth-quakes in various places and there wil l be famines and troubles. � ese are the beginning of sorrows.” (Mark 13:8) Troubles rage through-out the world and many have troubled hearts.
Before Jesus went to the cross to die for the sins of the world he foretold of the su� ering he would endure and of His eminent death. His disciples were troubled. He assured them and gave them great hope. “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in
me.” (John 14:1) If you have a troubled heart, let Jesus’ words � ll you with hope in believing these great promises.
THE PEACE. “Let not your heart be trou-bled, you believe in God, believe also in me.” (John 14:1) Jesus is the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) � e psalm-ist David gave us this hope, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. � erefore, will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters there of roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling there of.” Selah. (Psalm 46:1-3) How do we come into this peace? Jesus said, “Believe in God, believe also in Me.’ (John 14:1) Abraham was troubled because he was old and had no heir. � e word of the Lord came to him
saying, “I am your shield and your exceed-ingly great reward. God promised a son to Abraham and God’s Word gives us the key to God’s blessing, “And he believed in the Lord and He accounted it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 16:1, 6) Peace with God and the peace of God comes through believing. (John 14:27)
THE PLACE. The disciples thought they were going to be aban-doned. Jesus assured them that He was going to make a place for them. “In My Father’s house are many man-sions . . . I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2) Heaven is so real. It’s a place for all who will believe in Christ. Rejoice, He has a glori-ous place for you in heaven.
THE PROMISE. “I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3) The promise of Christ’s return is called the blessed hope. Paul gave the revelation of the rapture of the church, being caught up to meet Christ in the air at His return. (I � es-salonians 4:13-18) He
then adds, “Comfort one another with these words.” Are you ready for His appearing and the great catching away?
THE PATH. � omas was troubled by Jesus’ teaching. He anxiously told Jesus that he didn’t know about this way that Jesus was talking about. Jesus made it very clear, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:4-6) Believing in Jesus is the only path to eternal life and a home in heaven.
THE PERSON. Philip didn’t fully understand who Jesus was. Jesus clearly claimed His deity. “He who has seen Me has seen the Father . . . Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me?” (John 14:7-11) When you truly see Jesus you will be at peace.
Like the old song says, “Jesuss is the bridge over troubled water.” “Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.”Shalom,Cli� SandersEagle Life [email protected]

However, it might be best not to rush things but rath-er work with them as they evolve.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) � e Bovine’s business sense is especially keen this week. But remember that it’s always best to investigate before investing. Make sure there are no hidden factors that can rise up later on.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Working on a family project could create tension between and among those concerned. Your good sense and your patience can help reduce bad attitudes and raise positive feel-ings.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You should be seeing more progress in the development of your plans and more supporters joining in. News from the past could help change someone’s long-held position.LEO (July 23 to August 22) With personal aspects strong this week, Leos and Leonas might want to spend more time with family and others who are especially close to them. Also expect news of a pos-sible career change.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Taking a strong stand can be helpful this week. But be careful you don’t cross the line into ob-stinacy. Best to take a position on facts as they are, not as you want them to be.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You have a strong sense of the needs of others. � is week, turn
some of that sensitivity into an honest self-appraisal, and let it � nd places where you can help yourself.SCORPIO (October 23 to No-vember 21) Creating an emotional comfort zone to handle a personal problem helps at � rst. But by mid-week, you’ll realize you need to deal with it directly or it could linger for too long.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Turning the page on a mistake to start fresh might not be the thing to do. Better to go over each step that led up to the deci-sion you made and see which one misled you.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Goats enjoy a varied diet, but eating crow isn’t on the menu -- at least not this week. An embarrassing situation might have gone wrong before you got into it. Check it out.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Feb-ruary 18) Your sense of honesty might impel you to speak up about a situation you disapprove of. � at’s � ne. But do so without sounding accusatory. You might not know all the facts behind it.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Being asked to create a reassuring attitude in the middle of chaos isn’t easy, but you can do it. Support for your e� orts comes slowly, but it does come. Enjoy an arts-� lled weekend.BORN THIS WEEK: Your hon-esty about people and issues is expressed in a positive, not painful, way.
• It was Founding Father Thomas Paine who made the following sage observation: "He who would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that wi l l reach to himself."
• Most people prefer to kiss with their eyes closed; however, of those who do prefer to keep
their eyes open, the vast majority are men.
• It's well-known that a certain segment of native Londoners speak in a dialect known as Cockney, which makes frequent use of rhyming slang — some classic ex-amples are "dog and bone" for "phone" and "apples and pears" for "stairs." A more recent addition to the vocabu-lary is "Donald Trump," which, for at least the
past 15 years, has been used as an equivalent for going to the bathroom.
• If you watch TV or movies at all, you've probably seen some variation of the Humane Society disclaimer "No animals were harmed in the making of this program." You may not have considered that it's also applicable to insects, but those who make the programs certainly do. In fact, if you see a bug being destroyed in a con-temporary movie, it's a safe bet that the bug was dead before the scene was shot. � ere are even people who stu� dead
bugs with a sort of cream to fill it out — and to ensure a satisfying squish for the camera.
• You may be surprised to learn that many people never even feel it when they're bitten by a ven-omous snake. (� ey cer-tainly experience the a� ere� ects, though.
