7. Which two jockeys each won two Kentucky Derby crowns during the 1970s?
Answers1. Orlando Cabrera,

2. Five times (1993, '97, '98, 2002, '03).
3. Harold Carmichael, DeSean Jackson and Mike Quick.
4. Dennis Hopson, with 958 points in the 1986-87 season.

For the � rst month or so, times were fun -- even a bit giddy -- in Cole Field House at College Park, Maryland. Led by head coach Gary Williams, the early ‘90s edition of the Maryland Terrapins were o� to a hot start, and their newest recruits, like Joe Smith and Exree Hipp, were electrifying to behold. Smith played center with a calmness and physical grace that made watching him a pleasure. Hipp, who would later go on to play f o r t h e H a r l e m Globetrotters, spent most
of his time above the rim, or trying to get there. � e Terps were on a roll, and the fans were living it up.
And then, one day, something called the "ACC s c h e du l e " d ropp e d . Suddenly the other team didn't look like it was wearing hand-me-downs from an intramural volley-ball team. � e other squad wasn't an undersized troop led by a manic point guard taking 75 shots per game, and the other coach wasn't some wet-behind-the-ears kid barely out of college himself, clutching a clip-board with a death grip while tugging at his ill-� t-ting dress shirt.
On this one particular day, the team that came out of the locker room was wearing powder blue, and the head coach was a guy
who carried so much gravi-tas that the entire student section just stopped and stared. To paraphrase one of the freshmen seated close behind the bench upon seeing Dean Smith in person for the � rst time: "[� ings] just got real."
He didn't look like an innovator, and he didn't look very friendly, either. Always in a suit, always with a certain look of in-tensity, a gaze that seemed to burn right through you. He was a very religious man o� the court, and on the court, despite that gaze, he was never "blue" -- didn't curse or throw chairs onto the court. But as soon as you heard the whistle, he unleashed all the furies of basketball hell he could devise.
Two-three zones and four corners offensive schemes; shooting nothing but threes or driving for layups ... no dinky jump shots; substituting five players at one time; starting six seniors and taking the technical to begin a � nal home game. He slowed the game down just so he could speed it up to otherworldly levels. He was amazing. Brilliant.
Gary Williams, who suf-fered at the hands of Smith's teams for the early part of his tenure at Maryland, recalled how he developed a rivalry with Smith over the course of the '90s.
"We had a lot of great games," Williams told lis-teners of "The Norris & Davis Show" in Baltimore upon learning of Smith's death. "He really went a� er it. He was a tough guy in terms of competition ... if you weren't prepared you were going to lose, because he was going to be pre-pared."
Smith, who passed Feb. 8 at age 83, was prepared to go. A victim of "the long goodbye" that robbed him of some of his greatest memories in old age, he could always be content in knowing that the list of his accomplishments both on and o� the court will con-tinue to resound and rebound and aggressively inbound and come right back down the court inside the minds of those who witnessed his life and the lives he touched.

Centralia youth Aislyn was diagnosed with Juvenile Type I Diabetes in 2008 when she was 9 years old. She is a junior in high school currently and is also a freshman at Kaskaskia College. Her dream is to become an Elementary School Teacher. Her hobbies include: listening to music, singing, helping others, teaching children and watching them grow, shopping, and baking.
Type 1 diabetes is a disease where a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin. It lasts a lifetime and just to survive, one must continually infuse insulin into the body.
Although, sometimes her blood sugar levels get too low or too high unex-pectedly, it does not stop her from doing what she enjoys in her life. She's had
seizures in the middle of the night and other times due to not being able to feel her low blood sugars ahead of time. She can't change her health condition, but you can help her meet her goals and make her life much easier with a service
dog. A service dog will provide her with tranquil-ity in case she is alone and her blood sugar levels go too low.
Diabetic Alert Dogs are trained to alert diabetic owners in advance of low (hypoglycemia) or high
(hyperglycemia) blood sugar events before they become dangerous, so their owners can take steps to return their blood sugar to normal, such as using glucose tablets or injecting insulin and hopefully pre-venting incidents. � e dogs are trained to accompany their owners wherever they travel in the same manner as guide dogs and assis-tance dogs.
The annual cost for healthcare is on average $12,500 for each person with diabetes in the U.S. compared to $4,600 for each person without diabe-tes.
Please help Aislyn reach her dreams and enjoy life without having to worry about her condition.

BENEFIT FOR HARRY D. MYERS
In November of this past year, Zion United Church of Christ in Central City began its A� er School Program for the students of Central City Grade School. The After School Program at Zion UCC is designed as a men-toring program; open to all students, K - 8, who want to participate. As of January 31, we have 31 students regis-tered to attend the program with an average attendance of 27 students each Wednesday. � e program runs every Wednesday form the time school dismisses until 5 p.m. Usually that means from 3:15 to 5:00 p.m., but the � rst and third Wednesdays of each month we have them from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. � e students that attend the program vary from Kindergarten to 6th grade. When the students
arrive they are served a snack and then are split into groups for homework or cra� s, depending on what they need help with that week, and then get a meal if it is a long day (2 p.m. dis-missal). Not all of the stu-dents that attend the Zion UCC a� er School Program need tutoring help, but those services are available. Some of the students attend each week just for the socializa-tion time with their peers. The volunteers form the church have put a great deal of time into this program and are invested in each of these student's lives. � ey know which students need help with what subjects, who likes what foods, what they like to do when they are not in school and what is going on in their lives outside of school. � e impact that the
program is having now and will have in the future on the student's lives is unknown, but we feel that if we can have even a minute impact on just one child's live it makes the program well worth all the effort. The program is funded com-pletely by the Church through donations by the congregation and the volun-teers that provide supplies and food each week. If you would like more informa-tion about the program or information about volun-teering, donating supplies or making a monetary dona-tion, please contact Amber Rhodes, Zion UCC A� er S c h o o l P r o g r a m Coordinator at Zion Unite Church of Christ 618-532-1751 or [email protected]

Kaskaskia College is announcing that three of its Education Centers will be hosting a preview night to better equip high school students and soon to be high school students and their parents with important college information that they need to know while still in high school. Populations encouraged to attend include current 8th grade students and parents and current high school juniors & seniors and parents.
Topics covered for 8th grade parents include the Dual Credit Program and the Jump Start Program. Included in the Dual Credit information
will be how to best take advantage of dual credit opportunities at your high school and any risks associated with dual credit. The Jump Start Program will explain how families can save money by taking college level courses while still in high school.
Opportunities for high school students and parents include admissions and enrollment steps, financial aid and scholarships, and current student testimonials
There will also be an opportunity for everyone to explore their local KC education center. Many are unaware of the opportunities that they
can achieve locally at their education centers without ever having to travel to the main campus.
Each family in attendance will be entered to win a $50 gift card.
Dates for the preview nights are as follows: Greenville Education Center – Wednesday, March 18 at 6:30 p.m.; Trenton Education Center – Tuesday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m.; and the Vandalia Campus on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m.

• Do you have a screw loose ... in your eyeglasses? � is is an easy � x. Paint the screw with a dab of clear nail polish and quickly re-screw. It works like glue. Dab the top of the screw for a little extra insurance.
• "Snow will better slide o� a shovel that has been sprayed with furniture polish." — T.L. in Minne-sota
• Here's an old tip, but a good one: Before going away on vacation, put a couple of ice cubes in a plastic baggie, and set it at
the front of the freezer. When you return, if there is any evidence of melting, you will know you lost power while you were gone. If the bag is one big, � at cube, you lost power long enough to suspect all your refrigerator items of being spoiled.
• To temporarily get a winter frost effect on a window, use this fun recipe: Dissolve 4 to 6 tablespoons of Epsom salts in a beer. When the salt is dissolved, dip a clean rag in the mixture and wipe it on your
window pane. As it dries, crystals will form, creating a frost e� ect. � is is a great solution for a window you don't want to be clear but also don't want to perma-nently alter. The effect washes o� with soap and water.
• "If you get a residue inside your coffee cups when they go through the dishwasher, it might be time to give your machine a once-over. In the mean-time, spray the insides of the coffee cups with a bleach-based cleaner like 409 just before you turn it on. � at should help." — E.T. in Michigan

Sharin' O' � e GreenIt seems like just yesterday we were celebrating New Year's Eve and now it's
the first of March with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner and only a few weeks later and then it's time to start tilling and getting the garden plot ready. But back to St. Pat's Day...
Food and merriment toast the wearing of the green in our family, and a traditional St. Patrick's Day feast is already in the works. So below are some of our favorites and will follow next week with the rest to complete the menu of: Glazed Corned Beef, Parsleyed New Potatoes, Killarney Coleslaw, Irish Soda Bread, Shamrock Pie and Irish Coffee. Dinner is for four so adjust amount accordingly.
Glazed Corned Beef3 pounds corned beef 1 clove garlic1 bay leaf 4 peppercorns1/4 cup apple juice 1/3 cup brown sugar2 teaspoons prepared mustard
Place corned beef in a large sauce-pan and cover with cold water. Add garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 3 hours or until tender.
Remove corned beef from liquid and place fat side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Score the fat in a diamond pattern.
Prepare the glaze by combining apple juice, brown sugar and mustard in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until well-blended and slightly thickened. Pour glaze over meat. Roast in a pre-heated 400° oven 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes to glaze. 4 to 6 servings (with leftovers). Note: The leftovers are great for sandwiches!
Parsleyed New Potatoes
1½ pounds new potatoes 1/2 tsp. salt1/2 cup butter 2 T. chopped parsley
Scrub potatoes to remove any loose skin. Pare a 1/2 inch strip around the center of each potato to prevent splitting. In a saucepan, bring about 2 inches water to a boil about 20 minutes or until tender. Uncover and quickly boil off remaining water, shaking the pan to dry potatoes. Add butter, in pieces, and parsley, turning potatoes to coat evenly. Makes 4 servings.
Killarney Coleslaw
3 cups shredded cabbage 1/2 green pepper, shredded2 T. grated onion 3/4 tsp. salt1/4 tsp. pepper 1/2 tsp. celery seeds1 T. sugar 3/4 cup mayonnaise1 T. lemon juice 2 T. chopped fresh parsley1 tsp. chopped chives
Combine cabbage, green pepper, onion, salt, pepper, celery seeds and sugar. Whirl remaining ingredients in a blender (or whip with a fork). Combine and toss well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 4 servings.

• On March 5, 1839, Charlotte Bronte writes to the Rev. Henry Nussey, declining marriage. The 23-year-old Bronte told him that he would � nd her "romantic and eccentric," and not practical enough to be a clergyman's wife. Her novel "Jane Eyre" was published eight years later.
• On March 3, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signs a bill creating the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. Known as the Freedmen's Bureau, this federal agency oversaw the transition of blacks from
slavery to freedom.• On March 4, 1888,
Knute Rockne is born in Voss, Norway. He would go on to become one of the most successful coaches in the history of college foot-ball, leading Notre Dame during its golden era in the 1920s. Rockne won three undisputed national cham-pionships with the Fighting Irish.
• On March 7, 1938, Janet Guthrie, the first woman to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 races, is born

• On March 8, 1982, the United States issues a public statement accusing the Soviet Union of using poison gas and chemical weapons against rebel forces in Afghanistan.

Alate agreement came Friday night to fully fund Homeland
Security for another week. What's the goal here? To play political ping pong or solve problems?
� e � nal vote of a long day and night was bi-parti-san, 357 - 60 in the House, a little more than an hour a� er the Senate cleared the measure without so much as a roll call.
This whole thing is crazy. There are terrorist attacks all over the world and our rocket scientists in Washington are � ghting over funding Homeland Security.
Are they serious?
Needless to say, House conservatives are probably furious that this measure le� Obama's immigration policy intact. And so they should be!
Secretary of State John Kerry announced last week that the U.S. is under less threat now than ever before. � e rest of the world prob-
ably wouldn't share his opinion! And at the same time came the news that ISIS seized more Christians, bringing the total number abducted to approximately 220, leaving many fearing the outcome. To make matters worse, a video was also re-leased last week of terrorists destroying artifacts, some 3,000 years old at an archeo-logical site in Mosel. The video was posted on social media accounts affiliated with the Islamic State group.
Yet, Mr. Kerry thinks we're under less threat! Really?
It's too bad some things never change. Mr. Kerry being one of them.
And to top everything else o� , North Korea vowed to wage a "merciless, sacred war" against the U.S. days before the annual joint U.S. and South Korean military exercises were scheduled to begin. � is isn't the � rst time North Korea has made threats, but the scary part is a new research report by U.S.
experts published last week estimated that North Korea could be on track to have an arsenal of 100 nuclear weapons by 2020.
North Korea leaders are another insane group of wanna-be terrorists. The problem is they share a pen-insula with South Korea! And last but not least, many questions surround the liberal media and the con-nection to the Obama ad-ministration as the liberal media says there's NO con-nection. Well, guess what? Below are just a few examples of news organization ties to the White House.
Until next week.

� e Freedom of Forgiveness
Being delayed by a train doesn't frustrate me as much as it once did. I've learned to relax and be patient as they pass by. Sometimes I read the graf-� ti painted on the railcars. A lot of graffiti is gang related and espouses hate, violence, and killing. I'll never forget the day I ob-served a unique and bright message amidst all the dark and hate filled graffiti. Inscribed on the side of a tanker railcar was this message, "Learn to Forgive".
Not long ago a young black man, while standing on his front porch talking with friends, was shot and killed in a drive-by shoot-ing. It was later revealed that the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. � e young man sang in his church's choir, was an honor student, and had plans of attending college in the fall. Family and friends were grief-stricken. But the young man's parents publically extended forgiveness to the shooter and said that they were praying for him.
It is imperative that we learn to forgive. Consider some the reasons found in the Word of God.
F O R G I V E N E S S M U ST B E F R E E LY EXTENDED because we have been forgiven so much. God extends total forgiveness to all who will accept the price paid by the sacri� ce of His only begot-ten Son on the cross. � ink
of all the wrongs and sins you committed throughout your life. Yet we are assured that, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrigh-teousness.' (I John 1:9-10) We are commanded to "forgive one another, even as Christ forgave you." (Colossian 3:12-14)
FORGIVENESS WAS DISPLAYED BY JESUS ON THE CROSS. To those who mocked, abused, and cruci-fied him, Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) Jesus set the example of forgiveness.
FORGIVENESS IS NECESSARY IF WE WANT TO BE FORGIVEN. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught us to pray, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) He then gave this so-bering warning, "For if you forgive men their trespass-es, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14-15) .
Almost 45 years ago, I was sitting in a funeral parlor, looking through tear � lled eyes, at three caskets lined in a row - the caskets of my two teenage brothers and a cousin who were killed by a drunk driver. As the young teenager, who drove the car that killed them, walked into the funeral home and stood weeping, God spoke to me about forgiveness. A� er a
few moments arguing with God, I asked for grace and for God to help me as I put my arm around him and extended forgiveness - I had to forgive. God had for-given me of so much and Jesus taught that our for-giveness is predicated on our forgiveness of others.
Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian church, forgave those who were stoning him to death. With his dying breath, he prayed, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." (Acts 7:59-60)
FORGIVENESS SETS YOU FREE. It � lls you with God's peace, joy, and love. To allow unforgiveness, resentment, bitterness, or hate to simmer and fester in your heart, will poison and eventually destroy your life. Jesus taught that those who will not forgive will be turned over to the tormen-tors and cause you to miss out on heaven. (Matthew 18:34-35) Unforgiveness opens up your life for the enemy of your soul to bring torment. Forgiveness will bring release and freedom. Recently I came across a post on Facebook, "Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace."
When you experience God's forgiveness you are set free to love and totally forgive. Sincerely pray the Lord's prayer, "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) Receive God's forgive-ness and freely extend for-giveness to others.

Age doesn’t have to stop older men and women from enjoying their favorite sports. In fact, remaining active can improve physical and mental health.
If a doctor has con� rmed that it is okay to participate in sports, these activities can help men and women 50 and older enjoy friendly competition and physical activity.
FishingFishing is more than just
a leisurely day at the lake. Casting and reeling in your catch provides a good workout for the arms, legs and core muscles of the
body. If you fish on the water, rowing out to your lucky spot provides addi-tional cardiovascular exer-cise.
GolfGolf is enjoyed by people
of all ages. Requiring a combination of strategy and skill, golf also pays several physical dividends. Play at your own pace, taking your time walking from hole to hole so you can enjoy the sunshine and soak in the beauty of the course.
SwimmingA few laps around a pool
works your whole body. Swimming is attractive to
seniors because it works the muscles and provides a car-diovascular jolt without putting any strain on the joints.
CyclingMany seniors are avid
cyclists. You can ride a bicycle in competition or for pleasure. You can even vary your route depending on how physically intense you want the ride to be.
S e n i ors ne e d not abandon their love of sport just because Father Time is catching up with them. Many sports can be enjoyed by athletes of all ages.
POPULAR SPORTS FOR ACTIVE SENIORSIf you have psoriasis, an
autoimmune skin condi-tion marked by red, � aky patches on the body, you also could be at risk for a certain type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, which causes sti� ness, swelling and pain in and around the joints, affects up to 30 percent of people with pso-riasis, says the National Psoriasis Foundation. While psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, it is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 50. � is type of arthritis can
develop slowly or come on quickly and be severe. Just like psoriasis itself, psori-atic arthritis tends to go through periods of � are-up and remission. Typically, the skin condition precedes the joint disease in 85 percent of patients. Keep in mind that a severe case of psoriasis will not neces-sarly translate into a severe case of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis may be treated like other forms of arthritis. Doctors may prescribe anti-in� ammatory drugs, antirheumatic drugs, exer-
cise, and complementary therapies. � ose who have psoriasis and have begun to experience joint pain and sti� ness should talk to a doctor about potential therapies.

March is Diabetes alert month. Salem Township Hospital is having a “Everything Diabetes” Health Fair.
Diabetes is a disease that requires daily vigi-lance and regimens for therapeutic self-manage-ment. However, research shows that traditional education methods have not significantly im-proved self-management.
Diabetes, sometimes called ‘sugar,’ is a disease that needs continual care 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Although people with diabetes go on vaca-tion, they never take a vacation from trying to successfully managing their disease.
Everyone in the family becomes involved when a loved one has the disease. Family members want to support the indi-vidual with diabetes, but they do not always know how. Many families have members that do not get a chance to obtain educa-tion about diabetes care needs and sometimes even persons with diabe-tes lack the important knowledge needed for
taking good care of them-selves.
On March 19th , Salem Township Hospital invites the community members with diabetes and their family and friends to learn how to manage this challenging condition. Everyone always wants to know about eat ing better, the dietician will be available for one - one consultations along with cooking demonstrations from Kaskaskia College students lead by Robert Rhymes. Stress can lead to over eating and rising blood glucose Andrea Hotze will offer short meditation workshops. Master Gardener will be on hand with helpful tips for container gardener, helping stretch food budgets. Dr. Wol� , will b e o f f e r i n g e y e care. A1C champion from Sano� ’s Aventis will speak at 6PM sharing his experience in managing d i a b e t e s . P a t t y Emrick , C er t i f ied Diabetes Educator will be on hand for diabetes screenings, questions or to make free appoint-ments to learn how to
control diabetes better than ever. We can’t forget exercise , a must to support glucose control and maintain weight. Salem Township Hospital sta� will be available for foot screenings, or if you are having difficulty walking they can evaluate your gait and share ideas of how you may be able to get back to doing the things you love, along with many other ideas to take better care of your-
self. It’s all free. The "Everything Diabetes Health Fair" is about a community coming to-gether to get control of diabetes .
Diabetes Balanceand Physical � erapy
It takes many sensory systems to function to-gether such as vestibular, vision, and proprioception to maintain balance. When a person has diabe-tes even if controlled, it is very likely to develop neu-ropathy which basically is
“damage to the nerves”. Once any or all of these
systems are a� ected by diabetic neuropathy then balance is compromised. Physical therapy is used to help optimize and develop the remaining parts of these systems to improve the balance and prevent falls. Our thera-pists have many tools to evaluate. � e � rst step is the evaluation, then the treatment plan. Once the plan is implemented by your team your balance can begin to improve. When your balance im-
proves your life can improve by decreasing the risk of falls and inju-ries. You are the most important part of your team. You are the leader. Ask your doctor to evalu-ate you for neuropathy and discover if therapy is an option for you. If it is, “think” Salem Township Hospital. We want to be part of your team, part of your progress. Stop by Salem Township Hospital on March 19 from 5-8 PM or call and schedule and appointment at 548-3194 ext 8139.

Heart health should be a concern for people of all ages, but especially so for men and women over 50. That’s because, according to the American Heart Association, even men and women who are free of cardiovascular disease at age 50 are at a sig-ni� cant lifetime risk of de-veloping the disease.
But heart disease does not
have to be an accepted by-product of aging. For example, a 2014 study pub-lished in the AHA journal Circulation found that main-taining or increasing physical activity after age 65 can improve the heart’s well-be-ing and lower risk of heart attack.
In addition to increasing physical activity as they age,
older men and women who understand heart disease and learn to recognize its symp-toms have a greater chance of minimizing its a� ects and lowering their risk of having a heart attack.
What are the symptoms of heart disease?
Heart disease is a blanket term used to describe a host
of conditions, so symptoms vary depending on each in-dividual condition. � e fol-lowing are some of the more widely known conditions and their symptoms:
• Hypertension: Also known as high blood pres-sure, hypertension is a largely symptomless form of heart disease. � e AHA notes that the idea that hypertension produces symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, facial � ushing, nervousness, and sweating is a misconception. Symptoms typically do not alert men and women to the presence of hypertension, highlighting the emphasis men and women should place on routine visits to the doctor’s o� ce, where their blood pressure can be taken.
• Heart attack: Th e symp-toms of a heart attack are di� erent than the symptoms of heart disease that may lead to heart attack. � e former can be found by visiting www.heart.org. Signs that you may be heading toward a heart attack include undue fatigue, palpitations (the sen-sation that your heart is skip-ping a beat or beating too rapidly), dyspnea (di� culty or labored breathing), chest pain or discomfort from in-
creased activity.• Arrhythmia: Arrhythmia
means your heartbeat is ir-regular, and men and women o� en mistakenly believe ar-rhythmia only a� icts those who already have been diag-nosed with heart disease or have had a heart attack. But arrhythmia can a� ect even those men and women who have healthy hearts and no history of cardiovascular disease. Symptoms of ar-rhythmia can vary greatly, from a single premature beat to a series of premature beats that occur in rapid succes-sion. Arrhythmia that lasts long enough to a� ect heart function may include symp-toms such as rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness, lighthead-edness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
How can I protectmy heart?
Heart healthy habits take some effort, but men and women can protect their hearts regardless of their ages.
• Get suffi cient exercise. At least 30 minutes of exer-cise per day can protect against disease.
• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your risk for a host of ailments, including heart
disease. Quitting is a great way to start getting your heart and other parts of your body back on track.
• Include heart-healthy foods in your diet. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables and low in cholesterol, salt and saturated fat promotes heart health.
• Don’t drink alcohol to excess. Like smoking, drink-ing alcohol to excess can lead to a host of problems, such as high blood pressure, ar-rhythmia and high choles-terol, each of which increas-es your risk of heart disease.
• Lose weight. Being over-weight or obese is a major risk factor for heart disease. If you have already started to exercise daily and eat a more heart-healthy diet, then you’re on your way to losing weight. Consult your physi-cian if diet and exercise don’t seem to be helping you to shed pounds.
Heart disease kills mil-lions of people across the globe each year, many of whom are over 50. But men and women who learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risk stand a far greater chance of � ghting the disease.

According to t he National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people ex-perience di� culty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that di� culty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day.
But even though di� -culty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physi-cians before making any changes to their diets, the
AARP notes that the fol-lowing are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep.
AlmondsMagnesium is a mineral
with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magne-sium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make falling and staying asleep easier.
BananasMuch like almonds,
bananas provide a sub-stantial amount of magne-sium. Bananas also contain the amino acid trypto-phan, which many people a s s o c i a t e w i t h Thanksgiving turkey. While tryptophan might be most o� en associated
with the sleepiness people feel a� er eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep.
Cheese and crackers One more traditional
snack may just help you get a better night’s sleep. Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night’s sleep and help you fall asleep sooner.
CherriesCherries contain the
sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep
more quickly and slept longer and better than participants who did not.
Hummus� e primary ingredient
in hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially bene� -cial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep pat-terns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock.
Peanut butterPeanut butter is another
snacking item loaded with tryptophan. Spread some peanut butter on a carbo-hydrate, whether it’s a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer sleep.
WalnutsLike cherries, walnuts
contain melatonin, which
can contribute to a longer, more restful night’s sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping di� culty.
Many men and women experience di� culty sleep-
ing as they age. But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night’s sleep.

As people age, their dietary needs begin to change. Foods that were once staples of your diet as a youth may be restricted once you hit a certain age, while other foods you may have always avoided may now be necessary to fuel and support a healthy body.
Eating healthy foods and exercising may not be enough to sustain health, as hormonal changes and other health effects as a person reaches age 50 can have a profound impact on his or her nutritional re-quirements. � e following are a few things men and women over 50 may want to consider as they look to eat a healthy diet for years to come.
Vitamin DBoth men and women
age 50 and up have a reduced ability to produce vitamin D through expo-sure to the sun. Extra vitamin D will be needed from foods and supple-
ments. Everyone over the age of 50 should take a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU (10 µg), according to Canada’s Food Guide. Without adequate vitamin D, bone strength and health can deteriorate because vitamin D promotes ca lc ium absorpt ion. Vitamin D also has other roles, including helping n e u romu s c u l ar an d immune function and re-ducing in� ammation.
Friendly fatsPeople over age 50
should increase their intake of unsaturated fats and reduce consumption of saturated fats. Nutrient-rich unsaturated fats can guard against heart condi-tions, protect against stroke, keep skin supple, and even help men and women maintain good neurologica l health. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in nuts, olives, seeds, and fatty � shes.
Increase proteinAccording to Christine
Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as they age, men and women need more protein in their diets to maintain their muscle mass. The amount of protein needed at a younger age no longer may be adequate. Look for lean sources of protein from fish and poultry. Beans are also a low-fat source of protein that can help ful� ll daily protein requirements.
More � berEating more fiber can
help with digestive and in-testinal problems, such as constipation. Constipation can occur when � ber intake is not enough, coupled with a more sedentary lifestyle. � e best way to get � ber is through diet. Leave the skins on fruit and vegetables and choose whole fruits over juices. Whole-grain breads and cereals also are good sources of � ber. Dry beans and lentils can add a � ber boost. Always increase
� ber slowly to determine your tolerance.
Fewer calories� e National Institute on
Aging says women over the age of 50 need between 1,600 and 2,000 calories, depending on how physi-cally active they are. Men need between 2,000 and 2,400 calories per day. With each passing year there is a decrease in the energy re-quired to maintain body weight, so caloric intake should be adjusted accord-ingly.
More waterAs a person ages, his or
her body may not signal it is thirsty as well as it once did, so it’s possible that you may not recognize when you are thirsty or dehy-drated. The Mayo Clinic recommends around nine to 10 cups of beverages per day to remain hydrated.
Eating healthy and changing one’s diet is im-portant as a person ages, as dietary needs at age 50 may be quite di� erent from what they were at age 30.
Building a home gym inside your home can mo-tivate you to workout more o� en and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Fitness experts advise that homeowners building a home gym in their homes emphasize lighting in the room that will soon transform into a gym. A well-lit room, whether the light is coming from several windows, a door or recessed lighting in the ceiling, can help men and women maintain their energy levels throughout their workouts, whereas darker rooms can lead to feelings of sluggishness, which can compromise workout routines. In addi-tion, when building a home gym, keep the room free of clutter and unnecessary items that will only be a distractions during work-outs. Potentially valuable additions to home gyms
include plants, which can increase oxygen levels in the room, and at least one mirror, which can help men and women focus on their movements and ensure they are performing exer-c i s e s c o r r e c t l y . Homeowners building a home gym also should con-sider � nding room for a wall-mounted television to make time spent on ellipti-cal machines or treadmills less monotonous. If possi-ble, homeowners should connect a streaming device to the television so they can catch up on their favorite shows or watch movies as they burn calories. It’s also good to find space for a mini refrigerator in the gym, which should be kept well stocked with water. � is can prevent runs to the kitchen in the middle of a workout.
Illnesses seem to peak during the winter months. A tapped-out immune system as well as dry, cold air may encourage the spread of common viruses and bacterial infections more easily. As a result, it’s important that men, women and children take every step possible to ward o� sickness when the tem-peratures drop. Dietary changes can make a world of di� erence, and more and more people are including these proven superfoods in their winter diets.
Avocadovocado has high levels of
essential fatty acids and vitamin B6, which is im-portant in the biosynthesis of important neurotrans-mitters. Foods high in B vitamins may be able to counteract some of the symptoms of winter-related depression.
Pomegranate� is quirky fruit has vi-
tamins C and K, folate and potassium and is a good source of � ber. Pomegranate has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help in reducing joint pain and pre ve nt i ng s t roke s . Pomegranate may also help the body � ght viruses.
CinnamonCinnamon has high
levels of antioxidants, and some studies point to cin-
namon as a natural antibac-terial agent. Cinnamon also can help regulate blood-glucose levels, which is bene� cial for those with diabetes.
PrunesNow widely referred to
as “dried plums,” prunes are an important source of boron, which could prevent osteoporosis. High in anti-oxidants, prunes help the body � ght a variety of ill-nesses.
CabbageCabbage may be a key
element in the � ght against cancer. Cabbage has phy-tochemicals that can protect the body against cancer-causing free radi-cals. It’s also a good source of dietary � ber, which can stimulate a sluggish diges-tive system.
Butternut squash� is food is packed with
carotenoids, which are stellar antioxidants. The starches in this squash also have been found to have anti-in� ammatory proper-ties.
ChestnutsChestnuts are worthy of
inclusion in anyone’s diet. Unlike many nuts, chest-nuts are relatively low in fat but have high levels of protein. � ey’re also packed with vitamin C and B vita-mins.

When You Can’t A� ord a Pet
---DEAR PAW’S CORNER:
I’ve always wanted to own a dog, but � nancially I just don’t feel I can a� ord one right now. It makes me feel guilty that I can’t just adopt a dog and care for it. Should I really feel this bad? -- Harry in Trenton, New Jersey
DEAR HARRY: I think you’re taking a very re-sponsible attitude toward pet ownership. Instead of running out and getting a dog, you sat back and asked yourself if you could a� ord it. And that’s impor-tant, along with questions like, do you have the time to spend with a dog, is
your family or roommate in agreement about owning a pet, and are you allowed to keep one in your apartment.But you can help make
the world a better place even if you aren’t able to keep a pet. I encourage you to contact a local shelter to see if it accepts volunteers. Many need unpaid volunteers to help with a variety of tasks, from paperwork to clean-ing cages and play areas.Some have enough people
on site to handle all the work, so don’t be too dis-appointed if you’re not needed. Look for other opportunities instead.Sign up for classes that
train you how to care for pets in a shelter. Research pet charities, and give a small percentage of your paycheck to one.Or, if you can’t spare even
a couple of dollars a month, become a fund-raiser ... from phone cam-paigns to waggy walks, you can help a pet-care
organization raise thou-sands of dollars. Cash is what many shelters des-perately need to keep caring for abandoned pets.

20 The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area Wednesday, March 4, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Hav-ing second thoughts could be a good thing, even if you’re determined to go through with your plans. You might � nd it worthwhile to take a fresh look at how things have been set up.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Finan-cial matters could continue to be a problem until you’re able to straighten out some of the more pesky situations. Once that happens, the rest should be easier to unsnarl.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters once again take center stage, and should be dealt with competently and quickly. And, again, insist on others taking on their fair share of the responsibilities.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your creative pursuits seem to be running into a roadblock. But rather than blame outside factors, look within to see if you might be holding back your e� orts for some reason.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Keep that keen Cat’s Eye focused on relevant as-pects of this new situation in your life. Don’t be distracted by trivial matters. You need the pertinent facts before making a decision.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) As much as you prefer doing things on your own, continue to accept help if you still need to resolve the problem a� ecting your project. Some cheerful news is about to come your way.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While you might begrudge the added time it will take to get your project
from point A to B to C, etc., you could bene� t from the facts that will emerge over this expanded time span.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Regarding your workplace sugges-tions, be prepared to produce the facts to counter reactions from skeptics who feel your approach is unreasonable or even impossible.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Savvy Sagittarians will look for work-related answers on their own rather than rely on unproved as-sumptions. It might take more time to do so, but the payo� is worth it.CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) Your aspects continue to favor family issues, with special emphasis this week on changes in and around your home. Get everyone to suggest what he or she would like to see done.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A matter you thought had been settled might still produce surprises. Best advice: Continue to gather facts to bolster your position just in case you need to produce them quickly.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) While your instincts are usually right when discerning ‘twixt truth and de-ception, you could bene� t from doing more research on the new “prospect” that you’ve been pitched.BORN THIS WEEK: Your wisdom is only matched by your generosity, making you the sort of friend everyone hopes to have.
• It was American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox who made the following sage observation: "To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men."
• During the Victorian era, a well-dressed gen-tleman was never out-doors without a hat, and most had di� erent hats for di� erent occasions. Of course, the cost of such haberdashery could mount signi� cantly, so one enterprising British
soul registered a design (which was much less expensive than register-ing a patent) for a "duplex hat" — an elaborate con-traption that, by means of hidden springs, could convert from a top hat to a bowler hat to suit the circumstances.
• Before you ink your-self, you might want to consider this: � e cost of removing an unwanted tattoo can be up to 10 times as much as it cost to get the tattoo in the
� rst place. • If you're like the
average Amer ican parent, your kids get $3.40 from the tooth fairy for each tooth lost.
• You've doubtless heard of peak oil — that theoretical point at which the global produc-tion of oil reaches its maximum output, a� er which production grad-ually declines — but what about peak poultry? � ose who study such things say that the world hit its peak production of chicken for human consumption in 2006.
• Th e fi rst canned meat product, known as Hormel Spiced Ham, was developed in 1937.
Several imitators fol-lowed, and the executives at the Hormel Company, concerned about the new competition, decided to have a competition to rename the product. � e winner, Broadway actor Kenneth Daigneau (and brother to the company's vice president), won $100 for the winning entry: Spam.
***� ought for the Day:
"A good speech should be like a woman's skirt: long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest."
