The seven men, most wearing tailored suits and dress shoes, boarded the plane the old-fashioned way. Walking across the tarmac, careful not to walk over the line that separated passenger traffic from the earmuff-wearing air traffic controllers, they boarded the plane one by one, strapped in and flew off to a place few travel to from America: Havana, Cuba. A scene from Obama's latest visit to Cuba? Or was it a team sent from President Eisenhower's administration? Neither. This was during the days of George W. Bush, when it was still illegal to conduct commerce on the island if you were a U.S. citizen. Besides? Who wanted to go to a place that people were literally dying to leave? Shouldn't the traffic be going the other way? They came in on a technicality, as religious humanitarian relief workers. Once in Havana, the six men with their jackets draped over their arm waved the other gentleman, clad in jeans and a white safari shirt, through the customary screening room first. "Separate
parties," explained one of the men. The man had his papers examined as a close-talking guard asked for his plans and purpose for visiting Cuba. "I'm here on a humanitarian mission." "Here?" asked the Cuban of f icial. He s eemed stunned. "What makes you think Castro and Cuba need your help?" Before the man could answer, the official ordered him off to a separate waiting room, told to sit and wait so they talk more "in a bit." The official waved the other men over. "And what is your reason for visiting Cuba?" One man took the lead, stood straight in front of the guard, held his chin up and flashed a genuine smile. "We are here to drink your rum and smoke your cigars, sir." The guard stared back at him with a stern face that gradually lit up into a return smile. "My friends ... welcome to Havana, Cuba." Last year, more than 150 men came the other way ... they fled Cuba by any means possible, though most ran from the team
hotels whenever they had the chance to play baseball off the island. They defect for a dream, and they wish to make it in the big leagues, just like Minnie Minoso, Tony Perez, Tony Oliva, Luis Tiant, Jose Canseco, Rafael Palmeiro. They want to walk through the big ball orchards in the Bronx, LA or Chicago ... anywhere they can play the game they felt they were born to play. Most players in the majors remember different times, times the rum and cigars couldn't possibly compare to the life those travelers had left in America. They remember their teachers telling them to shut their eyes and ask God to provide them with lunch that day, only to open them and see an empty plate staring back up at them. The plate would remain empty until they were instructed to do the same thing, only this time to ask Castro for food, opening their eyes to a plate full of black beans and rice. They remember playing under spotty light, the watchful eyes of fans and Castro's men. They escaped on makeshift rafts, hid under trucks and buses, spent everything they had. They, too, had a mission ... just a chance to walk in through a gate and hear the stern-looking official bark the following command to them: "Play ball!" Welcome to America.

GIRL SCOUT TROOP #8653 MAKES DONATION TO MARINES
SANDOVAL FFA MEMBERS ADVANCE TO STATE FFA AGRISCIENCE FAIR
Submitted Photo Submitted Photo
Girl Scout Troop #8653 of Southern Illinois is a new troop that was established at the end of January. Because of their late start, they were only able to participate in Cookie Booth Sales. The Troop decided to give their customers an option of donating to a group of Marines that are at sea. They set a goal of 50 boxes, to be collected for the service men
and women. After the three weekends of booth sales the troop collected 80 boxes of various kinds of Girl Scout cookies to send to the Mar ines. E ach t ro op member made a thank you card for the Marines to send with the cookies. Cookies were mailed March 27 and will take 6-8 weeks to reach the Marines. Pictured (L to R), back

I haven't the words to express enough heartfelt sympathy to the family of Timothy "Tim" Scott Beaty of Carbondale, Illinois, formerly of Centralia. Tim was the son of Don Beaty and Kittie McMillan. He is survived by both parents along with wife Jessica Beaty and son Jacob as well as sisters Jennifer and Erin. He is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, stepbrothers and stepsisters. We at the Shoppers Weekly wish we could do more for lifelong friend Don Beaty and his family, but what we can do is set the record straight and tell the real story of a very brave young man, 41 years old, that gave his life protecting two Southern Illinois University (SIU) female students. Timothy "Tim" Scott Beaty's life was tragically taken at 4:20 a.m. on March 27. The original story was that Tim died from a stray bullet while asleep in his bed. The Carbondale police were alerted to the incident by an individual that found shell casings near the intersection of West Walnut and South Beveridge Streets in Carbondale that lead to the discovery of Beaty's body e arly E aster Sunday morning, March 27. But then the truth came out about Tim's final moments (in someone else's words) that is nearly beyond comprehension. Tim had died as he had lived. He was not only compassionate but fearless in his desire to help others, as he had demonstrated his entire life. It wasn't long before the truth began spreading, refuting the original story of a stray bullet that allegedly struck Tim in his bed while sleeping, which wasn't true! The truth was Tim had opened his apartment door to two young, female SIU students
seeking shelter after fleeing the neighboring house party once shots were fired. Beaty was killed while protecting them and shielding them with his own body. When friend and fellow musician Andrew Staff heard the truth he said, "That was just Tim being Tim." So where does this leave grieving family and friends? They now know the truth, but they already knew their son, husband, father, family member, friend, and giving community member. They know he was always doing something for someone. He danced to his own drum, literally. He was a hero to many and a superhero to all humanity. Tim's final moments of bravery and selflessness didn't surprise anyone; it was the way he lived. At this time there have been three arrests made in this tragic event, and one arrest is pending. Three of the suspects are from the St. Louis, MO area. The fourth suspect, who is from Carbondale, is still being sought. So in the end, the question remains: Why? I haven't the answer. I don't think anyone does. But I do know there is something we can all do in honor of Timothy "Tim" Scott Beaty's memory, and that's to help his five-year-old son Jacob whose very own welfare has been put in jeopardy by his father's untimely and horrific, violent death. There has been a trust fund set up at Peoples National Bank. You can contribute to: Tim Beaty's Memorial Trust, c/o Peoples National Bank, 901 West Broadway, Centralia IL 62801. Donations can be made in person at any branch of Peoples National Bank. An online donation is active at www.beatytrust. com.

This is the best way we can say to Tim as he said to so many, "I've got your back." Tim, we have Jacob's back!

migrated before them to America, the land of freedom and opportunity. As a matter of fact, of the 75 individuals who signed the Constitution, 67 were born in this country. They formed this nation as a republic of the people, for the people and by the people. A republic is a form of government in which power is explicitly vested in the people, who in turn exercise their power through elected representatives. Today the terms republic or democracy are virtually interchangeable, but historically the two differed. My point is that nowhere in any of the aforementioned documents does the word democracy appear. So today we seem to no longer have a government of the people, for the people and by the people, but one that is of the politicians, for the politicians and by the politicians. So why are they so concerned about saving their political parties? To my way of thinking, due to the debt they have placed upon this nation, they could only be thinking of themselves. The representative and senators make a basic salary of $174,000 per year. Majority and minority leaders make $193,400. The President ProTempore makes $223,500 and the Vice President (President of the Senate) makes $230,200. They do not participate in Obamacare but receive the same health insurance benefits as all federal employees and enjoy some of the lowest rates in the nation. They have a personal staff allowance for employees that can range anywhere from 26 to 60 staff members with maximum pay topping at $156,848 per year. In addition they have an expense allowance covering
job related expenses such as stationery, business cards, newsletters, domestic travel and lodging, and communication expenses. Plus they have free mail expenses and to add icing to the cake, they get free use of any military aircraft for foreign travel. All of this and they can retire after only one term at full pay. None of these items include the bribes (oops!) contributions they receive from lobbyists (who by the way out-number the Congress members in Washington) or the huge corporations. I guess this explains why they end up as multi-millionaires. The problem with this is that they are owned by the contributors, and power and greed enter the picture. Albert Einstein, considered to be a genius, once said, "If you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, it is insanity." I think this could very well apply, that is you continue to vote the same over and over again and expect different results; that too is insanity. If you are thinking of Hillary for President I hope you are aware of the following. How many people close to the Clintons have died? Ask the question on Google search. Hillary sold uranium to Russia and by some strange coincidence the Russian government donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. Just thought you might like to know before you decide. Personally, I don't know which is worse, her or Obama. Larry McCaskey _________________ Send your letters to the editor to: Shopper’s Weekly-Speak Out, P.O.

America is facing an economic disaster! And we are the only ones who can do anything about it. Let me explain. In the last thirty years or so the country's debt has risen to the point that we are headed for a total collapse. The national deficit recently hit nineteen trillion dollars. That is money we have borrowed and pay interest on. It is owed to approximately twelve different entities including China, Japan, Belgium, and Brazil plus the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. Social Security trust fund, U.S. individuals and institutions. Keep in mind that a thousand million is equal to one billion and it takes a thousand billion to equal one trillion. That is a drop in the bucket compared to the unfunded liabilities that are owed. Unfunded liabilities consist of money owed but there is no money available to pay for them. These debts are estimated to be about another 200 trillion dollars. Remember I said earlier that we were the only ones that can do something about it. No, we can't be expected to pay for it. What is more important is what created this massive debt. We the people elect the President and Congress. The Supreme Court is appointed by the President and must be approved by Congress. The people we elect actually run this country on our behalf. Obviously they are not very good at it. Let me point it out to you this way: Our founding fathers who adopted the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights were not politicians. They were individuals from all walks of life just like you and me. Their fathers had

Wednesday, April 13, 2016 5:20) These religious Jews were radical adherents of the law of Moses. They displayed their fervor by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. But Jesus called them hypocrites and warned us not to be like them. He told us that if our righteousness did not exceed theirs, we would not enter the kingdom of heaven. But how can our righteousness exceed the zealous religious scribes and Pharisees? FAITH ALONE IS A MARK OF RIGHTOUSNESS. They missed the mark because they believed keeping the law of Moses and their good works made them righteous. The scriptures teach that Abraham was not made righteous by the law, but by faith alone. “Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” (Romans 4:1-12) Only faith in the sacrifice of Christ on the cross can atone for sin and make one righteous. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:2122) By the works of the law no one if justified. FERVENT HEARTFELT PRAYER IS A MARK OF THE RIGHTEOUS. The Pharisees prayed long prayers, dressed in long robes, standing on the street corners to be seen of men. Jesus said they had their reward. “But when you pray . . . pray to your Father who sees in secret and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Matthew 5:5-8) Jesus gave the parable of the despised tax-collector who prayed. He would not even look up to heaven but smote his breast and prayed, “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Jesus said, “I tell you this man went down to his house justified rather than the other who exalts himself.” (Luke 18:9-14) The righteous have power in prayer. “Confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James
5:16) FASTING WITH SINCERITY IS A MARK OF THE RIGHTEOUS. The Pharisees practiced fasting but with wrong motives. They put on a sad countenance and appeared pious in their fasting to be admired by men. Jesus said, “When you fast . . . wash your face so that you do not appear to men . . . but to your Father who is in the secret place and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” (Matthew 6:16-18) FEEDING THE POOR AND NEEDY OUT OF COMPASSION IS A MARK OF THE RIGHTEOUS. The Pharisees gave alms to the poor and needy, but Jesus condemned them. “Take heed that you do not your charitable deeds before men to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore... do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing... and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” (Matthew 6:1-4) Cornelius, a Roman centurion, was a devout man who prayed, fasted, and gave alms. God took note and sent Peter to share the Good News of Christ. Cornelius and his whole household came into the blessings of salvation. (Acts 10) Jesus gave us a warning that we dare not ignore. “Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Repent and put faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross. Pray, fast, and give out of compassion and the Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

CENTRALIA NAMED A 2015 TREE CITY USA Centralia, Illinois was named a 2015 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. Started in 1976, the Tree City USA program, sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, in partnership with the U.S . Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year. Centralia achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program's four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an annual com-
munity forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. "Tree City USA communities see the impact an urban forest has in a community first hand," said Dan Lambe, President of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Additionally, recognition brings residents together and creates a sense of community pride, whether it's through volunteer engagement or public education.'' Trees provide multiple benefits to a community when properly planted and maintained. They help to improve the visual appeal

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois will join other Girl Scouts throughout the country to celebrate one of the Girl Scouts' most treasured resources during the month of April – the Girl Scout volunteers. Every day, Girl Scout volunteers bring girls ex-
In 2015, Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois’ 4,500 volunteers donated an average of 420 hours each to help provide 13,000 girls a premier Girl Scout Leadership Experience. The estimated dollar value of volunteer time provided is $45,511,200. “Our volunteers are an invaluable resource in providing a premier Girl Scout Leadership Experience to girls in Southern Illinois,” said Villie M. Appoo, GSSI CEO. “Their dedication to the mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place helps guide and encourage future leaders.” The mission of Girl Scouting states: Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and

periences filled with fun, friendship, discovery, and so much more. That's why Girl Scouts join with Points of Light, the world's largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, to celebrate the contribution of volunteers during National Volunteer Week which is April 10-16, 2016. In addition, Girl Scouts will celebrate their leaders during Girl Scout Leader’s Day on April 22. With love, patience, and a deep dedication to enriching the lives of girls everywhere, these incredible leaders give of their time every day to mentor girls, inspire them, and help them discover the world around them and the spark inside them. Girl Scout leaders say they "t hin k t hat's pretty awesome!"

Pledged delegates are based on state primary results, while super delegates can support any candidate. Keep in mind delegate results aren't final until the convention in July. So, to date, take away the super delegates and Clinton is only 219 delegates ahead. For you Clinton supporters, this one hasn't been as easy as you thought it might be! Bernie has won 8 of the last 9 states! So, who's on track for the Republican Party? Tracking candidates' progress requires more than
These calculations above don't include Saturday results. The Wy o m i n g Democratic presidential caucus was held Saturday, April 9 with Bernie Sanders taking the state. Bernie took 7 and Clinton garnished 11. Go figure that one! How did he get less delegates? On the Republican side, it was Cruz and falling behind, Donald Trump. The bottom line is Trump needs to take 61% of the delegates left; Cruz approximately 87% and Kasich 135% to clinch the Republican nomination. Just a note, Cruz is out stealing delegates. Is this election about the peoples' will? O ver the weekend Clinton and Sanders are back to their "Brooklyn, NY roots." This week the campaign goes to the heat of the battle—Brooklyn battling out who has the strongest ties, but trust neither Sanders or Clinton are in touch with reality (Imagine that!). Be sure and watch this Thursday's Democratic debate between Clinton and
Sanders. On to Paris terror suspect, Mohamed Abrini was arrested in Belgium over the weekend. Six people were arrested Friday in total including Abrini, suspected of being the man in the hat in the Brussels attacks, seen in an airport surveillance video moments before two deadly terror attacks in Brussels. Authorities can now question him about the Brussels airport bombings on March 22, part of the attacks that killed 32. Europe has a very heavy Muslim population! On a closing note a friend told me on Sunday that he had read that Obama has endorsed Hillary. It made my day, because in my opinion if he had, it gave many intelligent thinking humans one more of the 101 reasons NOT to vote for Hillary. On further research I couldn't confirm the endorsement. Oh well, one can only hope! In closing, let me recommend that all Christians see the movie God Is Not Dead #2. As Christians we are under siege. In the constitution and the Declaration of Independence it says nothing about the phrase "Separation of Church and State." It's time to take back our Christian rights! Until Next week.

PUSH FOR RAILROAD SAFETY CONCERNS IN CENTRALIA CONTINUES Even at 102 years of age, Centralia resident James "Jimmy" Adams shows no signs of letting up on his decades-long efforts to find a solution to the railroad traffic that comes into Centralia and blocks intersections that cause emergency vehicles to be delayed in a crisis. Joined wit h fellow Centralia resident Nathan Rothschild, Mr. Adams met with Rep. John Cavaletto to discuss the next step in this process which is finding the funding to have a study conducted by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). “I appreciate the knowledge and expertise Mr. Adams and Mr. Rothschild bring to this safety concern. Centralia is lucky to have such dedicated residents who continue to keep this issue at the forefront,� commented Rep. John Cavaletto, member of both the Appropriations – Public Safety Committee and the Tr a n s p o r t a t i o n : Regulation, Roads &

Bridges Committee in the House. “We look forward to the day that the residents and emergency personnel can move around the city without delays and people can get to the hospital as quickly as possible and fire personnel can get to emergency situations to help,� he added. A study by transportation experts and engineers would confirm that there is a congestion problem and w hat options are available to alleviate this congestion. Some have suggested constructing an overpass or underpass at key intersections in the city while others suggest the best long-term solution is to move the train tracks so they do not wind through residential areas. The meeting this week was a follow-up to the October 2015 on-site meeting at the rail line to observe actual trains moving through Centralia and observe the impact on the flow of traffic. In light of the state's current financial
crisis, there have been no dollars available for the study by engineers. There now seems to be a possibility for obtaining funding through a federal grant program known as the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) designed to address "congestion mitigation." As soon as the rules are establish on that grant process, the goal is to apply for monies to pay for this crucial congestion study.

I'm one that doesn't think a meal is complete without a side salad. As a matter of fact, I've been known to make a whole meal of a beautiful, healthy salad, a little french bread and a glass of Chardonnay. What could be better! However, some of my favorites are molded salads. Below are some of my favorites. There's nothing more refreshing in the warm spring and summer days to come than a cool, molded salad.
Molded Cucumber Salad 1 cucumber, pared and diced 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 sweet pimiento, diced 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

2 tsp. unflavored gelatin 1/4 cup cold water 1 cup cream, whipped
Combine cucumber, salt, pimiento and lemon juice. Soak gelatin in cold water 5 minutes; dissolve over hot water and mix thoroughly with whipped cream. Add cucumber mixture and pour into molds. Chill. Serves 4.
Jellied Salmon Mold 1 cucumber Small bottle stuffed olives 1 package aspic gelatin 1 cup boiling water 1/3 cup lemon juice 1/2 cup cold water

Ordering a hot dog. It’s a time-honored tradition for the three million plus Cardinals fans that throng to Busch Stadium every spring and summer. So is complementing it with ketchup and mustard. But this season, home games will feature some exciting new options: Original All-Purpose and BBQ Sauces from Country Bob’s, “The Signature Sauce of the St. Louis Cardinals.” “We are beyond thrilled about this opportunity,” said Terry Edson, President of Centralia, Illinois-based Country Bob’s regarding the partnership with the St. Louis Cardinals. “Our company bleeds Cardinal Red through and through. It’s just so exciting to think that millions of people will be able to try our products on their favorite stadium foods while rooting for their favorite baseball team.” While they’ve been a staple for many grocers for nearly 40 years, the locally-made sauces will now be featured throughout Busch Stadium at 40 condiment stands, Broadway BBQ and The Carvery concession stands for a more flavorful home field advantage. Even more, Cardinals fans will be able to find commemorative bottles pairing the Birds on the Bat with Country Bob’s at a growing number of grocery stores as a result of the partnership. “Our partnership with Country Bob’s is something that we’re very excited about this season for several reasons,” said Thane van Breusegen, Vice President of Corporate Sales & Marketing. “Not only will fans get to see, taste and hear about Country Bob’s in and around the ballpark but we are excited and proud to partner with a local company
“The Signature Sauce of the St. Louis Cardinals” based right in the heart of Cardinals Nation.” Changing Up the Flavor Lineup Every manager needs a utility player. Someone who can play multiple positions or move around the line-up. Someone who can be counted on, regardless of the situation. Edson likens Country Bob’s Sauces to those much needed utility guys. “That’s what we really hope people take away after they try us,” said Edson. “Our sauces pair well with everything you’d expect to find at a ballgame: burgers, bratwurst, chicken, fries. Even more extravagant foods like prime rib or filet mignon. But it goes especially well with Cardinals Baseball.” With its tantalizing mixture of sweet and tangy, Country Bob’s will become yet another winning tradition at Busch Stadium and backyards this baseball season.

By Larry Cox Hair Wreath Q: I have a hair wreath in an elaborate frame. It is a family heirloom from the Civil War-era. I am curious about it. — Hope, Canton, Ohio A: Human hair was used during the Victorian-era to make jewelry such as rings, lockets and bracelets. Hair also was used in wreaths, usually as mementos of a deceased family member. The wreaths often were cased in deep satin-lined frames and displayed in the family parlor. The practice was abandoned after about 1910. I occasionally have seen hair jewelry and wreaths in shops, and prices vary. A framed wreath is often offered in the $250-$500 range, depending on condition and workmanship. *** Q: My granddad contributed to several WPA guides that were published during the 1930s and '40s. He would like to find the one
• On April 13, 1742, Handel's "Messiah," one of the world's most beloved music al works, premieres in Ireland. Although now associated with Christmas, "Messiah" made its world premiere during the Christian season of Lent. • On April 12, 1861, Confederate Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard opens fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South Carolina, launching more than 4,000 rounds. Two days later, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteer soldiers to quell the Southern "insurrection." • On April 17, 1882, several copies of Sheriff Pat Garrett's wildly inauthen-
issued about Texas but has been unable to find a copy. Can you help us? — Sarah, Jasper, Texas A: The WPA Guide to Texas was first published in 1940 by Hastings House. An original edition is fairly difficult to find. I did locate a reprint from 1986 at abe. com for $50. If you're unfamiliar with abe.com, it is a wonderful Internet source for book searches. *** Q: I have managed to collect about 250 matchbooks. Can you recommend a reference so I can establish values for some of the rarer ones in my collection? — Charlie, Davenport, Iowa A: Bill Reskin is the author of three books about matchbooks, and he is the driving force behind the American Matchcover Collecting Club, P.O. Box 18481, Asheville, NC 28814. You can contact Bill directly at bill@matchcovers.net. One of his better references, "Matchcover Collector's Price Guide" is

The first full, realistic biography of William Bonney (the Kid's principle alias) was not published until 1989. • On April 14, 1818, Noah Webster, a Yaleeducated lawyer with an avid interest in language and education, publishes his American Dictionary of the English Language. The dictionary, which took him more than two decades to complete, introduced more than 10,000 "Americanisms." • On April 15, 1912, the ocean liner Titanic sinks into the North Atlantic about 400 miles south of
available at Krause Books. *** Q: I have a 1958 Ballyhoo pinup calendar and have been offered $50 for it. It is in mint condition. James, Portsmouth, Virginia A: According to Collectibles Price Guide by Judith Miller, your calendar is worth in the $150-$200 range. Keep in mind, however, that this price range is only an opinion based on Miller's take on the marketplace. The actual value of an item — any item — is what someone is willing to plunk down for it in cold cash. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com. Due to the large volume of mail he receives, Mr. Cox cannot personally answer all reader questions, nor does he do appraisals. Do not send any materials requiring return mail.

It was later discovered that the liner Californian had been less than 20 miles away but had failed to hear the Titanic's distress signals because its radio operator was off duty. • On April 16, 1947, a giant explosion occurs during the loading of ammonium nitrate fertilizer onto the freighter Grandcamp at a pier in Texas City, Texas. Nearly 600 people were killed and thousands injured when the ship was literally blown to bits. Its 3,000 pound anchor was found 2 miles away. • On April 11, 1988, actress and singer Cher collects the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in "Moonstruck."

New Dog May Have to Wait DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: I’d like to get a dog, but my younger brother is very afraid of dogs because he was once bitten by one. How can I tell him not to be afraid, so I can have a dog? — Chr i stine in Mes a, Arizona DEAR CHRISTINE: You might not be able to get a dog right now, unfortunately. If your parents don’t think that it’s a good idea because your younger brother is still very fearful of them, then that may be that. However, there are some other things you
may be able to do, even if you can’t have your own dog. You could spend time with a friend or a neighbor’s dog. That’s a good way to learn how to walk, feed and even train a dog. I myself grew up around many dog owners, and by spending time with them, paying attention to how they gave their dog commands and the different training methods they used, I got a wider perspective and better education on training dogs than a book might have provided. You could volunteer at a local shelter. While kids under 18 may be restricted from working directly with the pets residing there, many shelters have programs designed especially for school-age kids so they can contribute to shelter pets’ care, and learn about caring for these animals.

by Samantha Weaver • It was 19th-century Russian playwright and short story writer Anton Chekhov who made the following sage observation: "Love, friendship, respect, do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something." • If you suffer from galeophobia you're certainly not alone; Steven Spielberg's 1975 film "Jaws" may have popularized the fear of sharks, but it certainly didn't
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) It isn’t always easy for the rambunctious Aries to give a second thought to their often spur-ofthe-moment choices. But aspects favor rechecking a decision before declaring it final. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Information emerges for the business-driven Bovine who feels ready to restart a stalled project. Be prepared to make adjustments as needed at any time during the process. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Part of you wants to complete plans for an upcoming event, while your other self wants to see how things develop first. Compromise by moving ahead with your plans while being open to change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An unexpected change in a relationship could open up a problem or could lead to a much-needed and too-long-delayed reassessment of a number of matters. The choice is yours to make. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Time for the Lion to total the plusses and minuses resulting from recent personal and/or professional decisions. See what worked, what didn’t and why, and base your next big move on the results. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The clever Virgo can make persuasion work by presenting a case built on hard facts. Sentiment might touch the heart, but it’s good, solid information that invariably wins the day. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually can win over the most stubborn skeptics on your
own. But this time you can benefit from supporters who have been there, done that and are willing to speak up on your behalf. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You win admiration for your determination to do the right thing. Don’t be distracted from that course, despite the offer of tempting alternatives that might suddenly turn up. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While you still need to maintain control of a dominant situation, a new development emerges, making the task easier and the outcome potentially more rewarding. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New factors might have a positive effect on a stillpending matter, but only if the information proves to be credible. Trusted colleagues might be able to offer needed advice. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The week favors moderation, especially if a health problem is involved. Resist the impulse to do more than might be good for you at this time. You can catch up later. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You could feel more than a mite upset by someone or some people who might be creating problems for you. Find out why they won’t change their ways. Their reasons might surprise you. BORN THIS WEEK: You know how to inspire others to do their best by setting a persuasive example of your own.. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
start it. Logically, though, swinophobia makes more sense — pigs kill more people every year than sharks do. • You might be surprised to learn that Harriet Tubman — famous for her work as a c on du c t or on t h e Underground Railroad — also served as a Union spy during the Civil War, providing key intelligence that aided in the capture of Jacksonville, Florida. She also was the

first woman to lead an armed assault during the Civil War; the Combahee River Raid freed 750 South Carolina slaves. She even continued her humanitarian work after the war, opening the Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged and Indigent in Albany, New York. • According to the nuns who worked with her, Mother Teresa's last words were, "Jesus, I love you. Jesus, I love you." According to her doctor, the last thing she said was actually, "I can't breathe." • If you wanted to erect a building in Colonial times, you'd go to an undertaker; that's what building contractors
were called back then. • Ancient Romans recognized three distinct forms of kissing: The word "basium" denoted a kiss between acquaintances, "osculum" was used for a kiss between clos e f r iends, and "suavium" described a kiss between lovers. *** Thought for the Day: "Catch-and-release — that's like running down pedestrians in your car and then, when they get up and limp away, saying, 'Off you go! That's fine. I just wanted to see if I could hit you.'" — Ellen DeGeneres © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
