It's OK to Win How many of you parents work hard all week only to watch your kid get yelled at by some borderline psychopath coach on the weekends? Why do we all stand there on one side of the field -- that we all pay to seed and mow, by the way -- watching somebody on the other side yell out their life's frustrations? One day, I was watching a coach melt down, and I surveyed the parents on the sideline. There were lots of quality individuals watching the

NEW MODELS BETTER PREDICT FIELD WORKING DAYS Farmers and crop insurers depend on seasonal predictions of weather and soil workability to select appropriate cultivars, make decisions about planting and harvest dates, forecast yield, and determine risk. However, climate changeinduced weather variability is making it harder to predict workable conditions for crop production systems. University of Illinois researchers developed new models that improve the ability to forecast field working days, even under changing climatic conditions. “On any given day, a farmer is going to know very precisely whether the soil is going to be workable,” says U of I ecologist Adam Davis. “What we’re trying to do is take that ‘farmer sense’ and convert it into something measurable and predictable.” Field working day prediction models are primarily
useful in risk assessment. One of the models, which was based on 52 years of Illinois soil moisture data and weekly field working day data, eliminated systematic prediction biases at the state level and significantly reduced them at the crop reporting district level. This model could be applied to regions outside Illinois, since USDA working day reports are available for most other states. The errors that existed in earlier field working day predictions occurred most frequently in April and May, an interval that previous predictions suggested would be favorable for planting. In recent years, however, April and May have been substantially wetter compared with the 30-year average. Climate models predict warmer, wetter springs and drier, hotter summers. Since publishing this study, the
team has integrated future climate scenarios like these into their field working day models. This will eventually allow them to make more specific recommendations to Illinois farmers, extension specialists, and risk managers. "Optimization of agricultural field workability predictions for improved risk management," appears in Agronomy Journal. Lead author Bradley Tomasek is now in a Ph.D. program at Duke University. Co-authors Marty Williams and Adam Davis are Research Ecologists with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, and faculty members in the UIUC Crop S ciences Department. Funding was provided by the USDA Agricultural Research Service. The article is available online at https://dl.sciencesocieties.org/publications/ aj/abstracts/107/2/627.

BUDGET IMPASSE TAKES TOLL ON PRISON EDUCATION PROGRAM A successful state program providing educational opportunities for the state’s prison population is dying on the vine due to the ongoing budget impasse, but it doesn’t have to be that way according to State Sen. Kyle McCarter. “It’s really an unnecessary loss on multiple levels,” said McCarter (R-Lebanon). “Our community colleges are not receiving state payments for prison education programs the state wants. As a result, the colleges can no longer afford to fund the programs on their own and they are being dropped. Inmates who want to turn their lives around are being hurt and so is our society at large. Inmates who are released without that educational experience and acquired skills are more likely to go back to crime. That means more jail time and fewer productive citizens.” The educational/vocational program is funded by the Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC), but the Department has not made payments since the budget impasse began July 1, 2015. As of this date, Richland Community College in Decatur and Danville Area College have ended their vocational/educational program for inmates. Lakeland Community College in Mattoon provides services, but on Monday, Jan. 25, the Kaskaskia College Board of Trustees voted to extend the 28-year old inmate educational program with the Centralia Correctional Center only for another 30 days. In a recent letter to Sen. McCarter, George M. Evans, Dean of Career and Technical Education at Kaskaskia College wrote that the program provides inmates with a vocational skill that makes them em-
ployable and that saves taxpayers millions of dollars annually. According to Dean Evans, the data collected by the college shows: • Of the 193 inmates who have completed a program of study at the Centralia Correctional Center and have since been released, only 35 have returned to the Illinois Department of Corrections. This is a recidivism rate of 18.13%. This rate is 33% lower than the IDOC state average of 51%. • When comparing the cost of incarceration versus the significantly decreased recidivism rate, the State of Illinois saved $3,480,010. • This significant reduction supports the Governor's goal of reducing the State’s prison population by 25% by the year 2025, as stated by the Illinois State Commission of Criminal Justice and Sentencing Reform on July 1, 2015. According to a report prepared by Kaskaskia, Lakeland, Richland and Danville Area colleges, more than 10,200 degrees and certificates were conferred on inmates from 23 correctional facilities associated with the statefunded program over the past five years. The report states: • Nearly 2,000 inmates complete an educational program on an annual basis. Generally these inmates are months from release and are gaining a skill set that will lead to employment following release, in fields demanded by the marketplace. • When comparing the cost of incarceration versus the significantly decreased recidivism rate, the State of Illinois saves over $46 million per year by providing educational opportuni-
ties to inmates. “The hard facts tell taxpayers Kaskaskia College and other community colleges operate a successful program and the inmates know it too,” said McCarter. “In the past five years, the number of inmates taking advantage of the program and the number of credit hours they completed consistently increased. That’s a testament to the program and the real-life difference it is making.” Sen. McCarter said he’d like to see the Governor consider the educational program to be a necessary operational expense as he has done with other critical parts of the state budget. “There’s always talk in Springfield about prioritizing spending within the budget. I agree and it’s common sense that if we’re going to do this, we should connect funding with results and value,” said McCarter. “It’s clear by the facts — the objective criteria — regarding inmate participation, graduation and completion of degrees and certificates, and a reduction in recidivism, that this program works and these colleges deliver real benefit to government, to inmates and to taxpayers.” McCarter said objective criteria and performancebased results is a sensible and responsible way to fund other priorities and other parts of the higher education budget, such as the Monetary Award Program (MAP). MAP is a financial grant program that helps students with tuition costs. Currently, many Illinois colleges and universities are self-funding MAP because of the ongoing budget impasse. Questions are also being raised about how long MAP can be maintained without direct state funding.

IDNR RULES IMPLEMENT REGULATED HARVEST OF BOBCATS The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) today delivered rules to implement regulated harvest of bobcats in the State. Authority was granted by Public Act 990033, which took effect January 1, 2016. Proposed rules will be reviewed by the General Assembly’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) to determine compliance with statutory provisions. The process includes a period for public comment. Adopted rules will be reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to assure compliance with federal regulations on trade of bobcat pelts, and with an international treaty governing their export. Approval of export authority by USFWS requires adequate measures to protect Illinois’ bobcat population from over-harvest. Proposed amendments to administrative rules 550 and 570 are posted on the
Department’s website at http:// www.dnr.illinois.gov/adrules/ Pages/Proposed.aspx. Proposed rules include: • Harvest of bobcats will be prohibited in northeastern and east-central Illinois. • People must purchase a $5 Bobcat Hunting and Trapping Permit before attempting to take the species. A limited number of permits will be available on a first-come, firstserved basis. • The bag limit will be one bobcat per person per season. • Hunting season dates will run from November 10 through January 31 with brief closures during the firearm deer season. • Trapping season dates will run from November 5 through January 20 in the northern zone and November 10 through January 25 in the southern zone. • People who harvest a bobcat must purchase a $5

Bobcat Registration Permit. They will be mailed a federal tag, which must be affixed permanently to the pelt before it is exported or transferred to a fur buyer, fur tanner, taxidermist or garment manufacturer. Comments on these or other proposed changes to
administrative rules 550 and 570 may be submitted to the Department by mail: Anne Mergen, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Legal Counsel, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702. The public comment period is open for 45 days.

Hillary felt the Bern. Last Thursday night's debate started as another love fest but quickly changed. What I really loved was when Hillary Clinton was talking about free college that she doesn't agree with and p ointe d out D ona ld Trump's kids. What a hypocrite! How about Chelsea, whose mommy and daddy set her up after college with a $600,000 a year job? Really, Hillary! On the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Bernie Sanders pointed out that there are 29 million people who don't have health insurance today because of the ACA, after Hillary's count of 18 million people who now have it. And yes, the ACA eliminated pre-existing conditions, but no one explained the increase in cost that no middle class person can afford. Is anyone really buying into her? Yes, they are! As for Bernie and his 1% bull, it's unfortunate that in this country it's become a sin to succeed, and I'm here to tell you anyone who's running a business today just got what I said. Small businesses are the backbone of this country. As for large corporations, you need to look at those companies. There is a reason they are leaving the country. Just take the State of Illinois. The federal government is not — I repeat, not — business friendly. I agreed with Bernie when he said to Hillary, “Let's walk the walk and not the talk, bringing up her super pac connections. Not that I'm for Bernie, but indeed, he had a valid point! And he made it quite clear.
Hillary pointed out her life's work. Anyone who knows her life's work would appreciate her, with her real track record, starting with people like supporter George Soros. Next week we'll go into “Who is George Soros?” Bernie did put her in her place by pointing out contributions that were favored by her. He also pointed out a $5 billion government fine paid by Goldman Sachs, a supporter of Hillary. They paid a fine but no one goes to jail and has a record. But if a kid gets picked up for marijuana, it can ruin that kid's life. This is part of Hillary Clinton's M.O. Hillary Clinton pointed out the Dodd Frank bill as a good thing which she supported. This bill nearly broke the housing market. And one of the biggest issues I have is the woman card. This kind of issue only comes from weak, weak women. I don't need to stand behind the “I'm a woman” card. And when it comes to foreign policy, she said look at my record. Well, I have, and no thank you! In the end, Bernie is weak and Hillary is corrupt. You can say what you want about the GOP Presidential slate, but frankly, I'll take any of them over these two Democratic candidates! What a sad state of affairs. However, keep in mind the young people of this country are for Bernie, and I get that. I believe his heart is in the right place, he's honest and he truly cares. Hi l lar y C linton is corrupt, and in my opinion, her whole life has been based on greed. So with that
said, I'll leave it there! On a positive note, Hillary at least got back to the podium before the break was over. A final note on the Iowa Caucuses: Cruz, in my opinion, isn't any better than Hillary. Talk about dirty pool. Ben Carson had left Iowa early on caucus night and Cruz Camp staffers told caucus voters that Carson must be dropping out of the campaign because he left early, and don't waste a vote. "Vote Cruz." One final thought on the debate: Of course it ended in a love fest, with Clinton saying vote with your heart. I would recommend you vote with your head. Sanders closed with, “Our government belongs to all of us and not a few wealthy contributors.

On national polls, Bernie and Hillary are running neck and neck. Hillary — only by the flip of a coin — won Iowa in typical Clinton fashion. The latest on the issue: The De Moines Register is calling for an audit. Leaving you with one final thought: If Clinton is elected President, she'll appoint Barack Obama to the Supreme Court, a man that's violated the U.S. Constitution numerous times.

VALENTINE'S DAY FACTS AND SUPERSTITIONS Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers. Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine's Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what's widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. • Valentine's Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to "Christianize" the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box
and exchanging gifts. • The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. • All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine — whether they are disputed or not — paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. • Valentine's Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. • The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. • Valentine's Day is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. • Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the most
popular holidays to give flowers. • According to Hallmark, women purchas e 85 percent of all valentines. • According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-s ending holiday of the year behind Christmas. • Candy was among the earliest Valentine's Day gifts and remains a popular gift today. • Some tales suggest that the type of bird a girl watches on Valentine's Day pre d i c t s h e r f utu re husband. A bluebird indicates a happy man, while a sparrow indicates a poor man. • In Medieval times, girls consumed unusual foods on Valentine's Day in the belief it would make them dream of their future husbands.

February is American Heart Month, so there's no better time than RIGHT NOW to start paying better attention to your heart health! -------------------------------------
Heart disease symptoms depend on what type of heart disease you have.
Symptoms of heart disease in your blood vessels (atherosclerotic disease)
Cardiovascular disease is caused by narrowed, blocked or stiffened blood vessels that prevent your heart, brain or other parts of your body from receiving enough blood. Cardiovascular disease symptoms may be different for men and women. For instance, men are more likely to have chest pain; women are more likely to have symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea and extreme fatigue. Symptoms can include: • Chest pain (angina) • Shortness of breath • Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms if the blood vessels in those parts of your body are narrowed • Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back You might not be diagnosed with cardiovascular disease until you have a heart attack, angina, stroke or heart failure. It's important to watch for cardiovascular symptoms and discuss concerns with your doctor. Cardiovascular disease can sometimes be found early with regular exams.
Heart disease symptoms caused by abnormal heartbeats (heart arrhythmias):
A heart arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. Heart arrhythmia symptoms can include: • Fluttering in your chest • Racing heartbeat (tachycardia) • Slow heartbeat (bradycardia) • Chest pain or discomfort • Shortness of breath • Lightheadedness • Dizziness • Fainting (syncope) or near fainting
The heart has four valves — the aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves — that open and close to direct blood flow through your heart. Valves may be damaged by a variety of conditions leading to narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufficiency) or improper closing (prolapse). Depending on which valve isn't working properly, valvular heart disease symptoms generally include: • Fatigue • Shortness of breath • Irregular heartbeat • Swollen feet or ankles • Chest pain • Fainting (syncope)
When to see a doctor
Seek emergency medical care if you have these heart disease symptoms: • Chest pain • Shortness of breath • Fainting Heart disease is easier to treat when detected early, so talk to your doctor about your concerns about your heart health. If you're concerned about developing heart disease, talk to your doctor about steps you can take to reduce your heart disease risk. This is especially important if you have a family history of heart disease. If you think you may have heart disease, based on new signs or symptoms you're having, make an appointment to see your doctor. For More Information Visit www.heart.org 801 W.

Heart disease symptoms caused by heart defects:
Serious congenital heart defects — defects you're born with — usually become evident soon after birth. Heart defect symptoms in children could include: • Pale gray or blue skin color (cyanosis) • Swelling in the legs, abdomen or areas around the eyes • In an infant, shortness of breath during feedings, leading to poor weight gain Less serious congenital heart defects are often not diagnosed until later in childhood or during adulthood. Signs and symptoms of congenital heart defects that usually aren't immediately lifethreatening include: • Easily getting short of breath during exercise or activity • Easily tiring during exercise or activity • Swelling in the hands, ankles or feet Heart disease symptoms caused by weak heart muscle (dilated cardiomyopathy): Cardiomyopathy is the thickening and stiffening of heart muscle. In early stages of cardiomyopathy, you may have no symptoms. As the condition worsens, symptoms may include: • Breathlessness with exertion or at rest • Swelling of the legs, ankles and feet • Fatigue • Irregular heartbeats that feel rapid, pounding or fluttering • Dizziness, lightheadedness and fainting Heart disease symptoms caused by heart infections. There are three types of heart infections: • Pericarditis, which affects the tissue surrounding the heart (pericardium) • Myocarditis, which affects the muscular middle layer of the walls of the heart (myocardium) • Endocarditis, which affects the inner membrane that separates the chambers and valves of the heart (endocardium) Varying slightly with each type of infection, heart infection symptoms can include:

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Why I Don’t Drink In America, drinking has become socially accepted and even expected at times. More and more Christians think it’s “hip” to drink. For many generations, alcohol wreaked havoc on my ancestors and family. Debauchery, divorce, dependency, death, and destruction followed in the wake of drinking. Most devastating to my immediate family was when my two teenage brothers and a teenage cousin were killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. Why do people drink? A few years ago I asked a cousin that question. “Because it makes me happy,” he replied. But does it really? Drinking is a counterfeit of the real, true joy and peace that only Christ can give. God’s Word reveals the source of deep, abiding joy. “Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ hath loved us and has given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor . . . And
1. Is the book of Philemon in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. From Exodus 28, who was the first person given priestly robes to wear? Aaron, Abraham, Adam, Abel
be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:1-20) To have a victorious, joy filled life, apply these two commands to your life. BE NOT DRUNK. (Ephesians 5:18) Ex-alcoholic and pastor Jaimie Morgan wrote an article entitled, “50 Reasons Why I Don’t Drink”. (www.charismamag.com/life/culture) Here are some reasons I don’t drink: 1) I can’t be sober minded as the scriptures commands if I’m not sober; 2) Alcohol has an assignment – destruction (John 10:10) – I have experienced it personally in my life and the lives of many that I have ministered to; 3) Alcohol is a depressant; 4) Anything that depresses should be avoided; 5) I don’t want my children or anyone else to stumble by following my example; 6)
Alcohol skews my judgement and leaves me worse not better; 7) Alcohol is addictive; 8) Alcohol kills brain cells and is a counterfeit that provides a false peace; 9) The Bible says that drunkards will not enter the kingdom of God (I Corinthians 6:9-10); 10) Being drunk starts with one drink; 11) Alcohol equals broken lives, health, marriages, and dreams; 12) What about drinking in moderation? What about pornography in moderation? What lying in moderation? What about adultery in moderation? 13) “I don’t get drunk – I only have one or two drinks” – If it didn’t affect you anyway – you would drink soda; 14) Alcohol fills my mind with impure thoughts and lowers my resolve to resist temptation; 15) I should never look to a glass or bottle for relaxation or joy which can only really be found in Jesus Christ. BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. (Ephesians 5:18-20) This is the real thing! On the day of Pentecost 120 believers worshipping God, were filled with the Holy
Spirit. The crowd thought they were drunk. Peter stood and told them they were not, but that the outpouring of the Spirit was a fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. (Acts 2:1-4, 12-18) I call it a drink at Joel’s place. Jesus said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38) Drinking of the Holy spirit brings true satisfaction and lasting joy. I don’t drink alcohol because Jesus gives rivers of living water. How can you have your soul thirst quenched? Believe on Jesus. (John 3:16) Ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Luke 11:13) Be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit as you gather with other believers to praise and worship in “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing, and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:19-20) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

WEEKLY PAPERS www.theshoppersweekly.com
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A gracious Lamb can learn more about a problem-filled situation than one who is openly suspicious of what could be happening. A friend might offer some well-directed advice. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Getting adjusted to an unexpected change might be difficult for the Bovine who prefers things to go according to plan. But help could come from a most welcome source. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This could be a good time to get a head start on those career-related plans. The sooner you check out the pluses and minuses, the sooner you can act on your information. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A personal situation you thought would no longer present a problem suddenly could produce some surprises. Try to sort things out with the help of trusted colleagues. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An upcoming move holds both anticipation and anxiety for Leos and Leonas who have some big decisions to make. Advice is plentiful, but it’s up to you to decide which way you want to go. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone from a previous project could provide valuable guidance on how to handle a current problem, especially where it might involve a legal matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) A business situation presents some unexpected complications. But rather than try to handle them all at once, it would be best to deal with them one at a time. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You just might get what you want, despite the odds against it. In any event, be sure to thank all those people involved who believed in you and went to bat for you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Before you even hint at an accusation, remember that you’ll have to prove what you say. So be sure you have what you need to back up your comments. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A romantic situation takes an unexpected turn that favors some Sea Goats, but causes others to reassess how they’ve been handling the relationship. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A surprise turn of events could unsettle the Water Bearer. But it also might help open up an entirely different way of working out an important matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A smoothly running operation could bump up against an obstacle. This is where your ability to assess situations and make adjustments can restore things to normal. BORN THIS WEEK: Your kindness is legendary, and so is your strong sense of responsibility. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
