LOCAL TOWNSHIP OFFICIAL AMONG PARTICIPANTS AT TOI'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE Michael Young, Supervisor for Centralia Township attended the 2015 Annual Educational Conference, sponsored by the Township Officials of Illinois (TOI), on November 8 – 10, at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. This year's conference, titled "Township Government: Learn from Us!" brought together over a thousand township officials from across the state to attend sessions covering the latest developments in local government management, fiscal practices, general assistance, legislation, and other issues affecting local government. Keynote speaker Matt Booth's opening session, "Communicate with Attitude," blended humor and practical advice to stress the value of communication and personal connection in a world increasingly dependent on technology. Some noteworthy topics
covered at the 2015 Conference included FOIA compliance, digital government strategy, technology in government, size and weight limit laws for roads, record retention, and community programs for seniors and youth. TOI is a 108-year-old association comprised of nearly 11,000 officials from 1,431 townships throughout 85 counties in Illinois. TOI's ongoing mission is to improve township services and streamline the oldest form of local government in North America by offering support and continuing education opportunities for officials in various regions across the state. The many relevant sessions offered at the 2015 Conference will help township officials carry out their responsibilities and keep pace with changes in government. "New and returning officials all learn more about

FREE STRAW TO PET OWNERS City Manager Dan Ramey stated that the city will continue their 3 year program of giving free bales of straw to pet owners, if needed, to help keep pets safe and warm. Straw may be picked up at the Animal Shelter, located at 846 Woods Lane or the pet owner may contact Animal Control Officer, Bobby Patton at 618335-5471 and he will deliver it to the pet owner at no charge. Anyone needing a dog house or knowing of an animal in distress should contact Animal Control Officer, Bobby Patton to ensure the animal’s safety. The City would like to remind residents of some cold weather safety tips:

the animal becoming dehydrated. 4. Don’t leave your pet outdoors roaming unattended. If your pet does go outdoors, make sure they are wearing their ID tags. Pets can become disoriented outdoors, during snow storms, and get lost. 5. Check your pet’s paws for ice and salt. Clean your pet’s paws after a walk outside. Ice salt can be toxic if ingested. 6. Monitor your pet’s diet. Dogs may spend more calories in the colder months. Animal’s bodies expend energy to keep warm in the cold. You may need to increase your pet’s daily amount of food to compensate for this.
Advisor Mrs. Casey Bolin, Christonia Saddler, Garrett Bates, Kaitlyn Bates, Levi Brown, Mika Taylor, Owen Speiser, Beth Pennington, and Brandon Phipps. While in Louisville, Sandoval FFA Members were able to visit over 450 booths at the career and expo fair. While visiting the career and expo fair, members were able to talk to colleges, agriculture businesses, and many other individuals to gain a wider agriculture knowledge. Sandoval FFA Members also enjoyed visiting with other FFA members from all over the United States and Puerto Rico. The Sandoval FFA Members attended the two general sessions. While attending these sessions, members were able hear a motivational address from Rick Rigsby, former Texas
A&M character coach and chaplain for the Aggies football team. Sandoval FFA members were amazed at the amount of FFA members present for the National FFA Convention — there were over 50,000 FFA members present for t h e N a t i o n a l F FA Convention. Also, while at National FFA Convention, Sandoval FFA member Beth Pennington exhibited her Agri-Science Fair project. Beth’s apple related project placed 15th in the nation! FFA members attended many sessions and the career fair but also toured Louisville, KY while in town. Members toured the
Louisville Water Company to learn more about the process water goes through before coming out of the faucet. The American Printing House was visited where everyone learned more about blind individuals and braille. For a little fun, everyone enjoyed touring the Jack O’Lantern Spectacular where they saw over 5,000 carved pumpkins lining a quarter-mile walking trail. FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premiere le adership, p ers onal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

A Beautiful Miracle It happened at the temple gate called Beautiful. A man 40 years old, born lame, experienced a beautiful miracle of healing that brought multitudes to believe in the beautiful Savior called Jesus. (Acts 3) Isaiah prophesied of the work of Christ. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor... to console those who mourn... to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning.” (Isaiah 61:1-3) When Peter and
5
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
John saw this poor, lame, beggar sitting at the gate beautiful, they put their eyes of faith on him. Peter declared, “’Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk’... so he, leaping up,, stood and walked and entered the temple with them — walking, leaping, and praising God.” (Acts 3:1-10) In this healing miracle we see keys to New Testament faith that releases beautiful miracles. THE HOUR OF PRAYER PREPARES GOD’S SERVANTS FOR
MIRACLES. “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer.” (Acts 3:1-2) It appears that the disciples observed regular times of corporate prayer. Peter and John were going to a prayer meeting. The old saints who moved the kingdom of God were called prayer warriors. Jesus asked his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, “What! Could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthews 26:40-41) If we had more prayer warriors, we would have more miracles. (James 5:13-16) An hour of prayer can become an hour of power. THE LAME BEGGAR EXPECTED SOMETHING. New Testament faith expects answers to prayer. “So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:5) Do you expect miracles from
God? (Hebrews 11:1) THE KEY TO NEW TESTAMENT FAITH IS JESUS. In the last two days I have prayed for two lost keys. In each situation the Holy Spirit impressed on my mind where they were, In each case the owner said they had already looked in those locations, but after looking again — that’s where they were found. Peter declared to the lame beggar. “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6) The man was instantly healed. Jesus is the key. Peter proclaimed, “And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know.” (Acts 3:16) For many, faith in the name of Jesus is the lost key that, when found will release your miracle. As Chris Tomlinson’s song, “Indescribable” says,
“Our God an amazing God.” It will take 10,000 years just to begin to sing of the indescribable glories of Jesus. (Romans 10:8-10) BRINGING GLORY TO GOD IS THE PURPOSE AND BEAUTY OF MIRACLES. The lame man was healed and went walking, leaping, and praising God. “And all the people saw him walking and praising God... and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” (Acts 3:8-10) Because of this miracle at the gate called Beautiful, over 5,000 men plus women and children came to believe in Christ Jesus. (Acts 4:4) PREACHING JESUS IS A KEY TO NEW TESTAMENT FAITH AND MIRACLES. Peter always took the opportunity that
miracles provided to preach the beautiful name of Jesus. He preached the good news of Christ’s suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection from the dead. “But you denied the Holy One and the Just... and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” (Acts 3:11-16) The Holy Spirit worked conviction of sin. “Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:1921) Repentance brings times of refreshing. What is the key to the beautiful gate of miracles? Faith in the name of Jesus. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

In the next few weeks we'll see a couple of debates, one Democratic debate on Saturday, December 19 and one Republican debate on Tuesday, December 15. (Will they be game changers?) And before we know it, February will have arrived. Right now many are saying, "Can anything stop Donald Trump? How many times can you poke a stick in someone's eye." Today 19% of Americans say they can't trust their government. Americans' overall views of the federal government are very negative: 74% of Americans believe most elected officials put their own interests ahead of the country's and 55% believe ordinary Americans would do a better job solving problems. In general, Americans are fed up with Washington, and who can blame them! Then there's Hillary Clinton and her email scandals, among other lies, and she's very much part of the current Washington scene. So at this point, what about Mr. Trump! It seems Trump supporters don't care what he says, they're going to support him! Recent polls show Trump is more trustworthy than Hillary Clinton. And I get that!
On the campaign trail, Cruz is rising and Bernie Sanders crowds are dropping. There are a lot of people that like Ben Carson but they don't see him as a leader. Putting everything aside, I personally believe most are looking at supporting someone who has the greatest chance of keeping the homeland safe. Someone who can deal with the economy as well as someone who supports their views on gun control, abortion and healthcare. In other words, cultural issues. The big question is, which candidate fits with your views? To Colorado Springs. In the Planned Parenthood siege, three lost their lives and numbers were wounded by a deranged individual. And of course, the mainstream media is trying to link the blame for this tragedy to people who are against abortion. You gotta love it. Let's blame those who have spoken out and voiced their opinions against Planned Parenthood, saying or alluding to comments t h at c onve rs at i ons against Planned Parenthood could have played a part in this recent violence in C olorado Springs.
Never mind that the shooter has had a long history of mental illness; has been a malcontent and drifter; a recluse living without running water and other human necessities for some people; had been arrested for animal abuse, among other crimes; and has no known affiliation with any anti-abortion group. What happened is a tragedy, but let's blame the person responsible, the crazy that pulled the trigger. Obama, on the heels of this mass shooting, issued a refrain for more gun control. Let me say people who desire to kill people will have no problem getting guns despite what the extreme liberals say. And certainly pro lifers would never condone this killer's actions. The issue we need to be dealing with is the mental illness issue! That's a huge problem in this country; it's apparent Obama doesn't get that! Until next week.

With the attacks on the citizens of France and the downing of the Russian airliner, the rest of the civilized nations may now take these terrorists much more seriously. These murder-crazed fanatics live in a world of delusions and falsehoods — a major symptom of insanity.

By Larry Cox 'Joy of Cooking' Q: My mother collected cookbooks during the 1930s and '40s. She has the 1943 edition of "Joy of Cooking" by Irma S. Rombauer. I understand that this particular edition is quite collectible. A neighbor has offered me $25 for it. Should I sell or keep? — Lydia, Chesterfield, Missouri A: Your neighbor's offer sounds half-baked to me, and I'll explain why. "The Joy of Cooking" was originally published in 1931, compiled by Irma Rombauer and illustrated by her daughter, Marion. It was a rather straightforward collection of recipes with a German-American

twist. This cookbook, simply put, is one of the most famous and significant cookbooks in American history. It has had more than a half-dozen editions and somehow, even after 84 years, has remained relevant. The 1943 edition is especially interesting. Irma began revising her cookbook in 1942, keeping in mind that American cooking had changed since the start of World War II. Ration cards and shortages were commonplace. Her 1943 edition even featured meat substitutes, using leftover foods and sugarless desserts. Her suggestions for wartime emergency soups are just as valid today

GET YOUR RETIREMENT SOARING BY MS. LOWDER, SOCIAL SECURITY DISTRICT MANAGER IN MT. VERNON, IL
Wright Brothers Day, observed on December 17, marks the day in 1903 that two adventurous brothers in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina took to the air for the first time. It was a modern miracle at the time and a catalyst for the age of intercontinental travel. Over a hundred years later, it’s commonplace for people to fly across the country. Most of us don’t consider all the preparation and patience it took to achieve this modern feat of flight. Luckily, planning your financial future isn’t as daunting as pioneering modern aviation. Social Security has secure and easy-to-use online resources that can ensure your retirement soars above the clouds. The sooner you start planning for retirement, the better prepared you’ll be. Just like building a reliable airplane, you’ll need finely tuned parts that will work together for you to take flight. Think of your retirement strategy as a flight plan that propels you higher. We have many resources at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/ retire that help you find the age at which you may first become entitled to unreduced retirement benefits, estimate your life expectancy, and calculate your estimated benefits. These tools explain how much money you will need and for how long — something you can adjust through personal savings, pensions, and other benefits. You can also get personalized benefit estimates using the Retirement Estimator at www. socialsecurity.gov/estimator. The Estimator shows different scenarios, like how future wage changes or alternate retirement dates will affect your future benefits. Benefit amounts may differ from the estimates provided because: • Your earnings may
increase or decrease in the future. • After you start receiving benefits, they may be adjusted for cost-of-living increases. • Your estimated benefits are based on current law. The law governing benefit amounts may change because, by 2034, the payroll taxes collected under current law will be enough to pay only about 79 cents for each dollar of scheduled benefits. • Your benefit amount may be affected by military service, railroad employment or pensions earned through work on which you did not pay Social Security tax. As you can see, your flight plan to retirement may change over your lifetime. It’s important you understand that no matter where life takes you, the long journey to retirement is one of your most important trips. With every right decision, you’re making your retirement flight plan a success that will carry you through the heights of your golden years. It’s never too early to start planning. Whether you are nearly ready to retire or if you’re just getting off the ground in your career, I recommend you create your own my Social Security account so you can also learn about all the future benefits available to you. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount to create your account. Question: I prefer reading by audio book. Does Social Security have audio publications? Answer: Yes, we have many helpful publications you can listen to. You can find them at www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs. Some of the publications available include What You Can Do Online, How Social Security Can Help You When a Family Member Dies, Apply Online for Social Security Benefits, and Your Social Security

For more inforpay Social Security (FICA) mation about Social Setaxes on my income? curity benefits, visit the Answer: website at www.socialseYes. By law, your em- curity.gov. ployer must withhold FICA taxes from your paycheck. Although you are retired, you do receive credit for those new earnings. Each year Social Security automatically credits the new earnings and, if your new earnings are higher than in any earlier year used to calculate your current benefit, your monthly benefit could increase. For more information, visit www. socialsecurity.gov.
Question: I’ve heard there is a way for my daughter to get her disability application on the “fast-track.” How does this work? Answer: If your daughter has one of the more than 200 impairments on the Compassionate Allowances list at www.socialsecurity. gov/compassionateallowances, her application might be “fast-tracked”
for a decision. Compassionate Allowances make it possible for applicants to receive a decision on their disability applications within days instead of months or years as long as their medical conditions are so severe that they obviously meet Social Security’s definition of disability. Learn more at www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances.

Question: How are my retirement benefits calculated? Answer: Your Social Security benefits are based on earnings averaged over your lifetime. Your actual earnings are first adjusted or "indexed" to account for changes in average wages since the year the earnings were received. Then we calculate your average monthly indexed earnings during the 35 years in which you earned the most. We apply a formula to these earnings and arrive at your basic benefit. This is the amount you would receive at your full retirement age. You may be able to estimate your benefit by using our Retirement Estimator, which offers estimates based on your Social Security earnings. You can find the Retirement Estimator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator. Question: I know that Social Security’s full retirement age is gradually rising to 67. But does this mean the “early” retirement age will also be going up by two years, from age 62 to 64? Answer: No. While it is true that

• On Dec. 2, 1859, in Charles Town, Virginia, abolitionist John Brown is executed on charges of treason, murder and insurrection. Brown became militant during the mid1850s, when he fought proslavery settlers in the sharply divided Kansas Free State territory. • On Dec. 6, 1917, a Belgian steamer and French freighter, both loaded with ammunition, explode in Canada's Halifax Harbor, leveling part of the town and killing nearly 1,600 people and injuring some 8,000. The ships carried 8 million tons of TNT intended for use in World War I. • On Dec. 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy torpedo-bombers take off from Florida on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. The squadron leader later reported that his compass had failed and his position was unknown, and a rescue aircraft was dispatched with a 13-man crew. No trace of the 27 crewmen or six aircraft was ever found. • On Dec. 4, 1956, the "Million Dollar Quartet"

A tape recorded that day was not discovered until 1981. • On Nov. 30, 1965, lawyer Ralph Nader publishes the muckraking book "Unsafe at Any Speed." It became a bestseller and prompted the passage of seat-belt laws in 49 states (all but New Hampshire). • On Dec. 3, 1979, eleven people are killed in a stampede outside a Who concert in Cincinnati when a crowd of general-admission ticket-holders surged forward in an attempt to secure prime unreserved seats inside, known as festival seating. • On Dec. 1, 1990, 132 feet below the English Channel, workers drill an opening through a wall of rock, connecting the two ends of an underwater tunnel linking Great Britain with the European mainland for the first time in more than 8,000 years. x © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc

COMMON YOGA POSES TO KNOW
The popularity of yoga has grown considerably in recent years. Though yoga may trace its origins to ancient India, nowadays this popular approach to balancing the mind and body is practiced all over the world. For those who want to give yoga a try, it helps to be familiar with some of the basic poses one can expect to encounter at the gym or yoga studio. While few can master the following poses on their first day, beginners should know that if they commit to regularly practicing yoga, these poses will get easier over time. Chair pose This is a bended position pose in which the knees are bent over the ankles. Arms are up, and the torso forms a right angle over the thighs. Beginners can experiment with moving the feet closer together for a more advanced pose. Do not extend the knees over the toes and rest on the heels. Child’s pose This is a pose for rest and stretching. Get in a kneeling position with toes touching and hips and knees spread apart. Extend the arms overhead on the floor and lower the forehead to the ground. Downward-facing dog This is an inversion that opens up the entire body and can stretch the spine and the back of the legs. The back should be straight and the tailbone should be pulled away so your body forms a “V” shape.

In downward-facing dog, the key is to have a straight back and elongate the spine.
bending over from the waist. Having a straight spine is more important than having straight legs. Mountain pose Mou nt ai n p o s e i s perhaps the most basic of all the poses and also one that is quite important, as it aligns the spine with the rest of the body and grounds you. Lift your thighs and lengthen through the waist, drawing in the navel. This serves as the basis for other poses. Tree pose Tree pose is an introduction to balance poses. You stand on one foot as the other lays nestled against the thigh on the standing leg.
Warrior one Forward fold This pose places a leg When performing a forward into a right angle forward fold, you are in which the knee is over
the arch of the foot. The back leg is extended into a 45-degree angle behind the body. Arms are raised above the head. Both hips should be facing forward. Warrior two Warrior two is similar to warrior one, but the arms are stretched in opposite directions parallel to the floor. Turn the head and look out over your arm in the direction you are facing. Various poses may be covered in beginner yoga classes, and beginners unfamiliar with certain poses can simply pause and observe their fellow classmates if they are unsure of certain poses. Always begin slowly and breathe when working through these poses; consult with a yoga instructor to help develop proper form.

Separating fact from fiction can be difficult, especially when it comes to information about your health. Cutting through the Internet clutter and opinions from friends to uncover the truth is key to keeping the mind and body well. Dr. Jennifer Johnson, naturopathic doctor at Bastyr University School of Naturopathic Medicine, offers her expert insight into five of the most common health myths. Myth 1: Omega-3 fatty acids increase the risk of prostate cancer. A new study does not support the reported association between omega-3 fatty acids and the risk of prostate cancer put forth by a widely publicized 2013 study. By disputing these findings, the new study reaffirms that men can

safely consume omega-3 fatty acids from dietary sources, or from supplements, and continue to reap the substantial health benefits of omega-3s. Learn more about the study at http://goo.gl/mwKSMM. "Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to our health. They work to help lower inflammation, reduce risk of developing cardiovascular disease, lower triglycerides and blood pressure, and have overall positive effects on immune and brain function," says Johnson. "The recent meta-analysis with respect to prostate health and fish oil does in fact show that men who take fish oil, either from dietary sources or supplements, are at no increased risk for prostate cancer." Johnson stresses that there is no known mechanism by which omega-3 fatty acids would increase the risk of prostate cancer. To the contrary, there is research suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids might inhibit prostate cancer cell growth. Myth 2: Vitamin C prevents the common cold. If you're like many people, you reach for a bottle of vitamin C at the first sign of a cold. This is a good choice, as vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that boosts the immune system to fight off infection when you are sick. However, while vitamin C is a good option for treating a cold, it does not work to prevent colds before onset.
"Vitamin C has been shown to reduce the length of colds and can help treat symptoms," says Johnson. "Though beneficial and quite safe, vitamin C has not been found to consistently prevent colds. If you do start to feel the sniffles, supplement with 500-1000 mg/day." Myth 3: Everyone should take a multivitamin each day. Vitamins and minerals play a vital role in the normal functioning of our bodies, from skin and bone development, to brain and heart function. However, research is inconsistent when it comes to multivitamins so an individualized approach is best. "One size does not fit all," says Johnson. "Adding in all those nutrients in often a fairly low dose may not provide enough therapeutic benefit to help any one problem. To really target your health concerns using vitamins, see your health care provider to determine if there is a vitamin/mineral recommendation that is just right for you. Better yet, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables will provide your body with compounds and nutrients that truly do benefit the body." Myth 4: Most people get ade quate vit amin D through diet. "Vitamin D is essential for bone health, and the actions of vitamin D are considered hormonal. This means that this compound truly has far-reaching
effects on the body and has been shown to support immune function and improve mood," says Johnson. "Studies show that this 'sunny vitamin' may also help to prevent cancer." When the skin is directly exposed to sunlight, vitamin D synthesis begins, explains Johnson. In order for enough vitamin D to be produced, the skin would have to be in direct sunlight most days for 20 minutes, which most people do not experience consistently. "Supplements are a good option for getting adequate vitamin D, but make sure to check with your doctor for proper dosage. I suggest the natural vitamin D3 form," says Johnson. Myth 5: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Apples are a good source of antioxidants and betacarotene, which are very beneficial for overall health. They are also fiber rich, which promotes gut health. But apples are just one of many effective ways to fend off a visit to the doctor. "First, sleeping enough sets the stage for good health, as sleep is the time for repair," says Johnson. "Additionally, managing stress helps the immune system function best. When the body perceives stress, immune function goes down. Stress is normal, but having a balanced life will always promote health. Rest, exercise, keeping hydrated, maintaining a positive attitude and eating a balanced diet of whole foods is the true Rx for health." (BPT)

A CONNECTION BETWEEN COPD AND LUNG CANCER? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer can have a substantial impact on a person’s health, affecting how well the body is able to process oxygen. Both can be a serious side effect of smoking, but is there a relationship between cancer and COPD? Various experts, including the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
in collaboration with the D i v i s i on of C an c e r Prevention of the National Cancer Institute, have weighed in on the link between COPD and lung cancer. COPD appears to be a strong risk factor for lung cancer, even among people who have never smoked. “Recent studies suggest that the genetic risk factors that predispose smokers to COPD may overlap with
those that predispose smokers to lung cancer,” said Brian Carlin, M.D., a pulmonologist and chairman of the COPD Alliance. “A majority of patients with lung cancer have underlying, but often undiagnosed, COPD.” The Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund organization notes that more than half of all people with lung cancer also have COPD. Very often the
FOODS TO FIRE UP YOUR METABOLISM When it comes to a fast metabolism, some people seem to have hit the genetic jackpot. Luckily, your metabolism doesn't solely depend on factors out of your control such as genetics, age, or gender. Modifying your exercise habits and making wiser food choices are two ways anyone can achieve a faster metabolism and a smaller waistline. Increased physical activity affects the metabolism more than anything else but before you opt to take the stairs over the elevator make sure you are fueling your body with the energy it needs. A great first step is to examine your diet and understand which foods will give you long-lasting energy to help you move more during the day and burn more calories. "When making changes to your diet, aim to eat an energy-revving complex carbohydrate with a nutrient-rich protein," says personal trainers and registered dietitians Lyssie L akatos and Tammy Lakatos Shames - "The Nutrition Twins". "For example, we recommend pairing oatmeal with a he alt hy protein like Eggland's B est eggs.
Compared to ordinary eggs, EB eggs contain the same amount of protein with only 60 calories, aiding in fat loss; more nutrients like omega-3s, contributing to satiety and weight loss; and vitamin B12 which assists in producing energy to power metabolism" Here are some foods The Nutrition Twins recommend to help boost your metabolism:

Berries Berries, such as blackberries and strawberries, taste great and contain the phytochemical known as Cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G). Research shows C3G aids in the production of both adiponectin, which enhances fat metabolism, and leptin, which suppresses appetite.

sputum, weight loss, and lack of appetite. Lung cancer and COPD both can be fatal conditions when detected too late. Although COPD cannot be reversed, there are lifestyle changes and medications that can make breathing easier. Quitting smoking can prevent more serious consequences down the line, and many people with early stage cancers can be cured. As with many types of cancers, the stage of the cancer at diagnosis heavily
influences prognosis. People can take steps to stay on top of their pulmonary health. Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke is one of the most important things people can do. Recurring symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath or fatigue should be brought to the attention of your doctor. If COPD is diagnosed, recognize that lung cancer may not be far behind.

Patients with either lung cancer or COPD often experience coughing and shortness of breath. They also may experience repeated episodes of pneumonia or bronchitis.

CONTROL UNEVEN SKIN PIGMENTATION Uneven skin tone is a common, relatively harmless condition that affects millions of p eople. Hy p e r p i g m e nt at i o n (darkened areas) and hypopigmentation (lightened areas) are examples of uneven skin tone conditions that people often hope to alleviate. Changes in skin tone can affect people of all ages and races. Some of the more widely known skin tone changes are the formation of freckles and age spots. The American Osteopathic College of
Dermatology advises that lightened or darkened patches of the skin can occur anywhere on the body and are usually the result of exposure to the sun. Melanin is produced by the skin as a protective agent. When skin is exposed to UV radiation, melanin absorbs the sun’s rays and darkens the skin to reduce instances of burns and other damage. Excessive melanin can produce darkened areas that are disproportionate to other parts of the skin. In cases where skin tone
already is uneven, sun exposure can exacerbate the situation. Some skin tone abnormalities are hereditary, while others may result from hormonal issues during pregnancy. People may experience such abnormalities after a skin injury, while others may experience some instances as a natural response to skin inflammation. One of the easiest and most effective ways to alleviate pigmentation issues is to apply a sunscreen with a minimum
SPF of 30 each and every day. Look for a product that blocks both UVA and UVB light. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied at regular intervals, especially when spending prolonged time outdoors. Exfoliation of the skin may promote faster shedding of the exterior layers of the skin. Stores carry many at-home exfoliating kits and creams. However, if you are unsure which types of products are best for your skin, consult with a dermatologist. Dermatologists may prescribe lightening creams that will slowly
GET SAFER DRINKING WATER THE NATURAL WAY Household bacteria can be a serious issue affecting your health. In fact, the very steps we take to eliminate harmful bacteria may be spreading it. Everyone washes their fresh fruits and vegetables, but the water in your pipes may contain even more bacteria, especially if you
have hard water. The problem isn't only in the kitchen. When you take a hot shower, the steam you are inhaling can also contain the same microbial contamination that is in the rest of your plumbing, exposing you to pathogenic bacteria such as Legionella, which
can cause Legionnaire's disease. The piping used in home plumbing, whether it is copper or PVC, has very smooth interior surfaces which don't permit bacteria to settle and grow. However, hard water, which contains high levels of calcium and magne-

sium, results in scale formation on the interior surfaces of those pipes which provides a perfect home for bacteria. Researchers at the School of Sustainable Engineering at Arizona State University found that bacteria may grow at the same rate in pipes filled with both hard and soft scale. This is important new information as some forms of water conditioners produce this soft scale. The only solution to this problem is to remove the scaling in the pipes entirely, which only a traditional salt-based water softener can do. This type of water softener works by running the incoming hard water through a resin filter that traps the calcium

lighten darkened skin. Malasma is an uneven pigmentation that can occur on the face and may be a side effect of hormonal imbalances caused by pregnancy, menopause or use of oral contraceptives. Melasma can clear up on its own after pregnancy, but if it is linked to contraceptive use, speak with a doctor about changing the pill to using another method of contraception to see if it alleviates the problem. Makeup may be used to mask any irregularities in skin tone until another treatment method is
found. If topical treatments do not work, chemical peels, microdermabrasion or laser treatments may work. But such treatments should only be administered under the guidance of a qualified doctor. Skin pigmentation problems can be embarrassing. Reducing sun exposure and covering up can typically alleviate many cases of hyperpigmentation, but there are other options available as well. Speak with a dermatologist if you have concerns about uneven skin tone.
and magnesium in the water, as well as any iron, manganese or radium ions, and replaces them with sodium ions. Bacterial growth in plumbing is well documented and can cause serious hygienic problems in water systems, especially in hospital buildings and hotels. Factors like water flow and plumbing materials influence the growth rate of bacteria, but once it's in your pipes, it's distributed throughout your home each time you turn on the faucet. The fact is that salt not only helps remove and prevent the hard water scaling in home plumbing, it is also a natural antibiotic. Throughout history, people have used salt as a vital food preservative to keep bacteria f rom growing on cured meats
and cheeses. New research form the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine shows that salt acts as an antibiotic in the body as well. In the case of a skin infection, the body naturally moves more salt to that spot to fight the infection. The extra salt also helps the body's defensive systems more effectively fight infection. If you have hard water, there are significant benefits to having a traditional salt-based water softener in your home. Use a home water testing kit to test for water hardness yourself, or have a water treatment professional do the testing. For more information on water softening and salt health please visit www. saltinstitute.org. (BPT)

Hunting Isn’t Answer to Feral Cat Problem DEAR PAW’S CORNER: There was a furor last summer over a veterinarian who shot a feral cat with an arrow. While animal lovers’ fury was understandable, what wasn’t addressed is the massive population of feral cats in the United States. Cats are very effective hunters and have decimated native populations of small wildlife. What is your opinion on the suggestion to hunt feral cats rather than simply trap, neuter or spay, then release them back into the wild? — A Feral Cat Friend in Florida. DEAR FRIEND: I think that we shouldn’t give up on TNR (trap, neuter, release) programs, though additional solutions need to be looked into. Hunting isn’t one of those solutions.
In 2004, a study published in the Journal of American Ve t e r i n a r y M e d i c a l Association said that the population of feral cats in the U.S. was nearing the number of cats that had a home — about 50 million feral versus 73 million domesticated. However, while about 85 percent of female cats that had owners were spayed, only 2 percent of feral female cats were. (www. avma.org/News/Journals/ Collections/Documents/ javma_225_9_1354.pdf) I wrote about the problem those many years ago, advocating TNR. Fast-forward to 2014: A TNR study conducted in Alachua County, Florida, found that increasing awareness among area residents and encouraging them to TNR feral cats helped reduce the number of cats entering the local shelter by 66 percent. (www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/ S1090023314001841) So, providing local education and resources to residents helps them actively and humanely participate in the gradual reduction of feral cat colonies. Fewer cats

by Samantha Weaver • It was Scottish novelist and politician John Buchan who made the following sage observation: "We can pay our debt to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves." • The general board of the prestigious University of Cambridge has recommended that the institution hire a Professor of Lego. Yep. The lucky academic will head up the Research Centre on
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t feel sheepish about looking to spend more time with that special person during the upcoming holidays. Do it because it’s the right thing to do. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Never mind letting misunderstandings repair themselves. Consider speaking up while the healing process can be shorter and sweeter and leave fewer scars. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Romance is easily awakened in the Geminian heart, especially around the happy holiday season. So go ahead and make those plans with that special someone. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Moon Children can glow with their own inner light as the holiday season magic takes hold. It’s a very special time for Cancers and Libras together. Enjoy. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good time for you fabulous Felines to take pleasure in your special gift for, well, taking pleasure! Look for this holiday season to give you every reason to purr. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to let others who are in your life get a little closer to you. You’ll both find out what you’ve been missing for far too long. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Open up your eyes and see some welcome surprises you’ve
missed or overlooked for too long. What you find can lead to other favorable changes. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) What you expect to be potentially troublesome might simply be especially challenging and well worth your efforts to check out. Good luck! SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A friendship might not seem as trustworthy as you’d like. OK. Ask your questions, get your answers and settle the matter once and for all. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family situation moves into a new area because of (or, maybe, thanks to) some decisions you might have felt you could not avoid making. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You could be cutting it very close if you hope to make those holiday plan changes in time to avoid problems. Get a friend or family member to help. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Friends show how important you are to them. Keep these precious relationships thriving. They affect much that will happen to the fabulous Fish in the new year.

Play in Education, Development and Learning. On a related note, Cambridge recently received a donation of more than $6 million from the Lego Foundation. • If you happen to have 40 billion Lego bricks lying around, you could, theoretically, build a tower to the moon. • Single-shot coffee makers like Keurig are increasingly popular, but

the inventor of the K-Cup coffee pods doesn't actually use them himself. John Sylvan says, "I don't have one. They're kind of expensive to use." He added, "It's not like drip coffee is tough to make." • Beloved British author Charles Dickens was forced to go to work at the age of 11, pasting labels on bottles of shoe polish in a boot-blacking factory. Soon after, his father was put in debtors' prison, and when his mother and siblings went to live with him there; young Charles was left to live on the streets and fend for himself. It's not surprising, then, that
after Dickens achieved the great success he enjoyed as a writer, he was an ardent campaigner for children's rights. • If you plan to become a patriotic citizen of Greece, I hope you have a good memory: The Greek national anthem has a whopping 158 verses. *** Thought for the Day: "The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic and to some extent even antibiotic — in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea — known to medical s c ie nce i s work."— Thomas Szasz © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
