MIMI HAWKINS AWARDED 2015 WOMAN OF THE YEAR Mimi Hawkins was named the 2015 Centralia Business and Professional Woman of the year. Mimi joined the long list of past women that have received this honor — all who so generously volunteered their time and efforts to serving others. Mimi took it upon herself to be the coordinator of the Thanksgiving dinner for the less fortunate and lonely. She lined up volunteers to make the food, deliver the meals and work the serving lines

along side herself. The reward was the hugs and smiles from the people that were served. Other projects are the Special Olympics, Murray Center — she worked tirelessly to help keep Murray open and has participated in local fund raising events for the Humane Society. She's a key player in ABATE and many others. The above are just a few of the organizations that have been blessed to have Mimi Hawkins' care! Congratulations, Mimi.

SANDOVAL PRIDE AWARDS FOR FALL The Pride Awards began as a joint project between the Village of Sandoval and the Sandoval Woman's Club. Pride Award signs are placed in the yards of homes that are an asset to our community because of their

beauty, upkeep or improvement. Two homes are chosen with one being north of the U.S. Route 50 and one being south of U.S. Route 50. Pride Awards will be given again in the Spring.

CENTRAL CITY LIONS CLUB CELEBRATES ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY Members, friends and family of the Central City Lions club gathered at the Central City Lions Shelter We d n e s d ay e v e n i n g , October 7 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Central City Lions which was chartered on October 6, 1965. Following a welcome from current president Mike Young and invocation by Craig Roper, dinner was provided by Gary Toedte and Team. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Carl Mecum. Zach Roeckman introduced surviving charter members and guests after which Charles Woolbright shared information on Central City Lions history. Information on the Club's philanthropy work was presented by Bill Luebben followed by the new member induction ceremony led by

Mike Johnston, PDG. Closing comments were delivered by President Mike Young followed by a benediction by Craig Roper. For the last 98 years Lions Clubs International has been acting on the same simple idea: "let's improve our communities." With the motto of "We Serve," Lions Clubs across the world are dedicated to helping those closest to them and the Central City Lions are definitely no except ion. Throughout their 50 year history, they have committed themselves to benefitting others. The Central City Lions have hosted numerous events and fund raisers over the years including The Lions Dance for Diabetes, Lions Easter Egg Hunt, Lions Scholarship, and Lions Foundation Candy

Day to name just a few. The Central City Lions have also been entrusted to serve as adminizors of the Stacey Giles Trust Fund, which is used for the charitable purpose of providing economic assistance to parents or guardians of children who suffer from loss of hearing or vision. The money raised from Central City Lions events has been pledged to aid countless organizations at all levels of society and all areas of service from national all the way down to the local level. Throughout their 50 year history the Central City Lions have dedicated themselves to the ideals of Lionism an to its mission of service and have much to be proud of, but they will never forget that there is much more to do.

1/2 cup sugar

Prepare Crumb Topping: In small bowl, combine walnuts, cinnamon and sugar. Set aside. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease 13"x9" baking pan. In large bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, cream butter and 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour, sour cream, eggs, baking powder, soda and vanilla. With mixer at medium speed, beat batter until light and fluffy, occasionally scraping side of bowl with rubber spatula. Spread half the batter in greased pan. Sprinkle with half the crumb topping. Spoon dollops of remaining batter on top; carefully spread to an even layer. Sprinkle top with remaining crumb topping. Bake coffee cake 25 to 30 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool cake completely in pan on wire rack. To serve, cut cake into squares. Makes about 12 servings.

Grilled Sticky Buns

1 cup milk 1 large egg 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2/3 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar 1 tsp. salt 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon 1 package active dry yeast 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/2 cup warm water (105° to 115°F) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans 5¼ cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup dark seedless raisins 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, Butter or margarine to grill buns softened In 1-quart saucepan, heat milk until bubbles form around side of pan. Remove from heat. Stir 6 T. granulated sugar, and salt into milk. Cool to warm. In small bowl, sprinkle yeast over water. Stir and set aside to soften, about 5 minutes. In large bowl, combine 5 cups flour, warm milk mixture, yeast mixture, 1/4 cup softened butter and egg. Stir with wooden spoon until soft dough forms. Sprinkle board or work surface with remaining 1/4 cup flour. Turn dough out and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Lightly oil large bowl. Place dough in bowl, turning to bring oiled side up. Cover with clean cloth and let rise in warm place, away from drafts, until double in size, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine 3 T. remaining softened butter, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and corn syrup. Divide mixture among fourteen 10-oz. (4½" wide) custard cups. Combine nuts and 1/2 cup raisins and sprinkle evenly among cups. Stir remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon into remaining 2 T. sugar and set aside. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll out one half to a 16"x10" rectangle. Spread this dough with half the remaining butter; sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar mixture and 2 T. raisins. Starting from one short side, roll dough up jelly-roll style, pinching to seal outside edge. Cut roll into 7 slices. Place one slice in each prepared cup. Repeat with other half of dough. Cover buns with clean cloth and let rise again until double in size, 50 to 60 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F. Set custard cups on baking sheets. Bake buns 25 minutes, or until they are nicely browned. Immediately invert them onto lightly oiled tray. Cool completely. Just before serving, split buns in half horizontally. In large skillet, griddle, or sandwich grill, melt 1 tsp. butter. Place buns, 4 halves at a time, cut sides down, in skillet. Weight buns with oiled sandwich press or heat proof plate. Grill until golden brown. Repeat until all buns have been grilled, adding butter as necessary. Serve immediately. Makes 14 buns.

Hurry-up Caramel Buns 1 (1 lb.) loaf frozen bread dough 1 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar 1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 3 T. butter or margarine, softened

1/4 cup water 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts 2 T. granulated sugar 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Allow frozen bread dough to thaw following package directions. To make buns' sticky topping, combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and water in 1-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat and allow to boil 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat slightly if sugar syrup boils up too high. Pour hot syrup into 10" round baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup nuts evenly over syrup. On lightly floured surface, roll dough out to 14"x 9" rectangle. Spread with remaining 3 T. butter. In cup, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over buttered dough. Sprinkle dough with remaining 1/2 cup nuts. Starting from one long side, roll dough up, jelly-roll style, pinching to seal outside edge. Cut roll into 12 slices and arrange these evenly over topping in pan. (Do not worry about small gaps between rolls.) Cover buns with clean cloth. Let rise in warm place, away from drafts, until double in size, 40 to 60 minutes. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake buns 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes, then invert onto platter. Makes 1 dozen. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

STORE HOURS MON. - THURS. 9 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M. FRIDAY 9 A.M. - 7 P.M. SATURDAYS 9 A.M. - 5 P.M.

Last Tuesday evening the spotlight was on the Democrats. CNN hosted the first Presidential Democratic Debate. The stage was set with only five candidates. The questions came from everyday Americans like you and me across the country while Lincoln Chafee, Hillary Clinton, Martin O'Malley, Bernie Sanders and Jim Webb took to the stage. After the national anthem they were off and running. With Hillary front and center, each candidate introduced themselves starting with Chafee (the metric man) with 30 years of public service. Next up Jim Webb who is a Vietnam veteran, a senator, a father and a husband. O'Malley, a lifelong Democrat with 15 years as an executive leader and former mayor of Baltimore, Maryland. Sanders, an admitted socialist, stressed the need for climate change and also pointed out our country has more people in jail than any other country in the world. His motto: "Let's take back our government" — a perfect opportunity for him to say Hillary Clinton is part of the current big government regime. Then it was Clinton's turn. She said she was proud to serve as first lady and of course talked about being a grandmother of a 1 year old. The questions started with Hillary's flip flops, especially addressing TPP, a trade agreement that she said, "would be the gold standard" and now she's against it. She took a stab at answering but never did. By the end of the evening my mind had not changed about Hillary. If you want more of the same, she's your girl, and when she pointed out we had handled Libya well, it was a dead give away she doesn't have a clue. As per Sanders, second in the Democratic current polls, his points were we should rob from the rich (kill that goose that lays the golden egg) and give to the

poor. Yay! More free phones! And to round it up he was a conscientious objector and refused to go to Vietnam, but I expected no more from him! Frankly, in my opinion credibility is still a huge issue with Hillary. Sanders has, I believe, been honest, but I simply can't agree with his beliefs and I don't see him as presidential material. As per the rest? They aren't going anywhere except home! I personally don't like Donald Trump but he could beat anyone of the gang of 5 on the stage last Tuesday evening. But I'll leave you with a thought. If Joe Biden steps in, we're looking at a completely different story. Rumor has it we'll know soon. Up next, Obama flip flops on militar y action in Afghanistan. A major happening last week — a flip flop I agree with — at this time the U.S. has 9,800 troops in Afghanistan. They will remain through 2016. After that 5,500 will be there into 2017. This is a major shift in Obama's policy to bring all troops home by the end of 2016 with only a small embassy-based force left behind. Is he doing the right thing? All you have to do is remember the premature withdrawal of troops in Iraq and look what followed. Going back to the Democratic Presidential candidates... I found it interesting that last Thursday, leading Democratic candidates were silent about Obama's decision and that includes Hillary Clinton who served as Obama's Secretary of State. And last but not least, looking back, I remember a big to-do when V.P. Dick Cheney accidentally shot a friend while dove hunting. You couldn't find a newspaper, radio station or TV station that didn't beat it to

death. So with the current gunhostile administration we have in the White House, I would think it would be headline news that one of Barack Obama's then White House staffers Barvetta Singletary was arrested after allegedly firing a gun at her cop boyfriend during a domestic dispute. Now, granted, Barvetta Singletary, a lower level White House staffer, is no VP, so wouldn't grab as many headlines, but I don't recall reading or hearing about this late August incident at all. Either way, Ms. Singletary won't help advance her (former) boss's crusade against gun violence. It didn't take long for her to resign her $125,000 a year job last month. With the chummy bedfellows the current administration and the major liberal news outlets have become over the years, maybe I shouldn't be surprised which gun-related incident got more news coverage. The weapon of choice was a .40 caliber Glock 23 service weapon. A closing thought: looking back at both the Republican and Democratic debates, I would have liked to hear just one candidate in their opening remarks about who they are say "I'm a Christian." Looking at the corruption in the political arena — the mass shootings, some openly targeting Christians, it's apparent to me Christianity is under siege in America and the breakdown of the American Family is one of the biggest problems!

KYLE MCCARTER ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS SECURING FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FUTURE “Washington is broken and after 20 years in office our representative has b ecome par t of the problem. I have the energy, ideas, and a proven track record as a reformer in Illinois to go to DC and make a difference” said McCarter. Saying it’s time for new leadership to restore, renew and recapture the bright promise of America, State Senator Kyle McCarter of Lebanon announced Wednesday his intention to run for the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 15th District of Illinois. “This is a very conservative district that believes we should protect life; that believes in the Second Amendment, and believes in limited government and free market principles of economic opportunity for all,” said McCarter. “Ronald Reagan described the heart of American conservatism as, ‘The common sense and common decency of ordinary men and women, working out their own lives in their own way.’ That’s also the heart of the 15th District.” McCarter, who has served in the Illinois Senate since 2009, said the promise of America has been undermined in recent years by policies and practices that fight against and undermine traditional values. He said it’s time to turn around Washington. “What we have witnessed in recent years is not how our country was designed to work,” said McCarter. “The burdens of government have grown¸ in spite of the opposition by a majority of Americans. The federal government has imposed thousands of new rules and regulations, and billions of dollars in new taxes. It has overstepped its bounds and has

done so without our consent. Of all the places in Illinois, the place that should have the loudest, strongest voice in Washington is the 15th District, but I don’t see that happening. Respectively, 20 years is enough. It’s time that someone like myself step up and really defend the people of this district.” McCarter likened the challenging of a long-time incumbent in the race to David versus Goliath, but he said a tough campaign is worth the struggle because the end result will be good for families and communities, and good for businesses and the economy. “If the last 8 years have showed us anything, it’s showed us we need new blood in Washington,” said McCarter. “We need to ‘Turnaround Washington.’ We need people who think differently, who haven’t given up on the traditional American principles and qualities that made our nation great. We need leaders with energy who

are not in Washington to make a career of the Capital, but who are working to improve the lives of citizens today, and to secure a bright, promising and hopeful future for generations to come.” McCarter said Freedom and Liberty for today and tomorrow includes vigilance and perseverance. 40 Commerce Lane, Lebanon, IL 62264 Authorized and Paid for by Kyle McCarter for Congress “Unlike what has been happening in recent years, I refuse to compromise on Freedom and Liberty, said McCarter. “We need to return to the traditional American principles that are the bedrock foundation upon which our nation was built.” McCarter said the nation’s founding documents give the people unique power and authority because the Freedom and Liberty the documents detail are recognized as coming from the “Creator.” McCarter said rights come

Ministries For the Glory of God (Part 2) One of the greatest miracles of Jesus’ earthly ministry was the raising of his friend Lazarus from the dead after four days in the tomb. Why, after hearing of Lazarus’ sickness, did Jesus wait two more days before going to him? Jesus gave us the answer, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be gloriﬁed through it. (John 11:4) God is worthy of all glory and honor. Followers of Christ are to live to the praise of His glory.

'THE SHARING ECONOMY' Last week, I ordered my first Uber ride. Normally when I take the train to Chicago from Springfield, I hail a cab to get to my hotel from Union Station. But last week Chicago cab drivers went on strike – to protest Uber. This presented an excellent opportunity for travelers – such as myself – to try something new. Uber is a ridesharing company. It allows potential passengers to use a smartphone application to connect with drivers of vehicles for hire. So I downloaded an Uber application to my phone and requested a ride. Moments later a Volkswagen pulled to the curb and I hopped in. The driver immigrated to the United States from Colombia. During the day, he works as a valet parker and in the evening he drives his family’s car for a couple

more hours to help make ends meet. As he drove me to my hotel, he showed me pictures of his seven kids and gushed over the opportunities he has found in this nation. And one of those opportunities is Uber. It’s a typical immigrant story: Work hard, compete and make things better for your children. But competition is something Chicago’s highly regulated taxicab industry is working hard against. Cab owners purchase or lease pricey medallions issued by City Hall. And they must abide by a slew of regulations, which companies like Uber have managed to avoid The answer to this unfair situation is creating a level playing field for the cabbies. Eliminate the pricey medallion licensing system, reduce barriers to the

the internet to finance the endeavor. It’s sort of like the New York Stock Exchange only for smaller businesses. As you may have guessed, not all bankers are real keen on this idea. But it has given opportunities for people to start a business who otherwise might not be able to. Uber, Airbnb and investment crowdfunding are just some of the latest examples of how the marketplace thrives on competition. When competition doesn’t exist, entrepreneurs will find a way to create it. And that benefits customers. That’s the beauty of the free enterprise system.

market and slash regulations. This benefits consumers as well as taxi drivers by bringing prices down. Uber is part of a new economic concept called “the sharing economy.” And it’s here to stay. For example, a coworker of mine has quit staying in hotels. She logs onto Airbnb and selects a room from among those offered by private homeowners who rent out extra space. As one might expect, motel owners hate this competition. Tough luck. We should encourage, rather than discourage, competition. In a refreshing freemarket move this year, the Illinois General Assembly embraced a portion of the sharing economy by allowing for investment crowdfunding of businesses.

Cat’s Shedding a Hairy Issue DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My cat “Chester” has always been a big shedder with his long hair. I’ve pretty much kept up with it by brushing his coat every evening. But lately I’ve noticed a lot more hair deposited on the furniture and carpet, and when I comb him I have to clean out the brush several times. What could be causing this increased shedding? — Cherie K. in Dubuque, Iowa DEAR CHERIE: To start, make an appointment with Chester’s vet for a complete physical exam. Excess shedding doesn’t always have a concrete explanation, but it can signal a change in his health, especially if it

wasn’t a problem before. Excess shedding can have a cause as benign as changes in the season — shedding in spring and fall, for example. Or it could be triggered by allergies to dust, pollen and molds, which can irritate his skin and make him scratch more. Skin diseases such as ringworm can be another cause — it’s something the vet will certainly check for, along with flea infestation or other irritants. Excess shedding also can signal much more serious conditions, such as diabetes or hyperthyroidism, something that a vet can diagnose. Ahead of the appointment, watch Chester’s behavior: Is he drinking excessively? Does he seem agitated? Is he eating as much as he used to? Write down anything that seems unusual and share it with the vet. If Chester has developed a health condition, the vet can prescribe the right medications and advise you on the best diet

Wednesday, October 21, 2015

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some flashes of Aries ire might erupt as you confront an unusually bewildering situation. But you should be able to keep your temper under control as you work through it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That marriage ‘twixt the arts and practicality that Taureans excel at once again highlights your enjoyment of much of the week. However, you need to watch any sudden urge to splurge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even with all the plusses apparently outweighing the minuses, you still might want to defer an important decision to make sure you have all the facts you need. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) One or two problems might threaten to derail otherwise smoothly running situations at work or at home. But a few wellplaced words should help get things back on track quickly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas in the spotlight to open your generous Lion’s hearts and share the glory with those who helped you accomplish so much along the way. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to get advice from someone who’s been there and knows these situations better than you do, before investing time or money (or both) in a questionable matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful how you handle a workplace matter that seems out of place in the

schedule you’ve prepared. Before you act, one way or another, find out who set it up and why. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your entertainment aspect is strong this week. Besides providing a wonderful break from everyday obligations, sharing fun times brings you closer to those you care for. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Having a weekend fun fest? Your friend or relative who’s down in the emotional dumps could perk up if you find a way to include him or her in your plans. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) If you’re in one of those “the Goat knows best” periods, you might want to ease up and try listening to what others have to say. You could learn something. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge is getting closer, and you should be out there now showing facts and figures to potential allies to help persuade them to rally to your support. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting a head start on holiday plans could help free up some time later to spend on other projects. Meanwhile, a colleague has some ideas that you might find worth discussing. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always there for others, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you need to be there for yourself as well. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
