Girl Scout cookies a tradition in Southern Illinois
Cathy A. Monroe outlines the history and impact of cookie sales for Shagbark Council in Herrin. Since 1920, multiple troops claim the first batch, now funding 60 percent of the annual budget for about 7,000 girls across 24 counties, with new varieties and planned sales through late January.

Ann Landers on you and I versus you and me grammar
Dear readers often ask when to use you and I or you and me. The rule is simple: say whichever you would say if you and the other person were not there. Use I with you only if you could say I alone. Examples clarify: I won, so you and I won. The prize was won by me, or they are giving it to me, so you and me would be correct in those contexts. Politeness can shift usage, but grammar rules still guide choice.
