Duke versus Maryland (Best taunt ever? The Dookies chanting "not our ri-val!" as the Terps ran up and down the court with them.) Now is the time for the Chicago Cubs. In baseball, no matter what they say about pitching, the manager's spot is the most important. There are no coincidences that guys like LaRussa, Torre, Herzog, Piniella, Yost, Billy Martin (between bar fights), Showalter and Joe Maddon win ever y w here t he y go. Wherever they go they bring their ideas with them, and, with all due respect to Casey Stengel ... they usually go right back to winning soon enough. Water finds its level. There is no such thing as a curse or a jinx, but there is such a thing as the right place and time. Guys like David Ross, Anthony Rizzo, Justin Grimm, Kris Bryant and the rest of the deceptively hot-hitting Cubs in their "whatever you think is hot" suits, they're feeling it. So brace yourself, Wrigley Field ... the jinx is up.

x There are just some teams everybody pulls for, whether or not they are rivals or from different towns, and at the top of that list lies one team: The Chicago Cubs. Yankee fans would not have minded one bit if the Red Sox lost forever. There were maybe some mixed feelings in 1986 when the Mets took on the Sox in the World Series, but nothing really too serious. Yankee fans looked with lust upon the Mets during that season. Just the idea of having a catcher like Gary Carter during the post-Munson, C e r o n e - Wy n e g a r Skinner era seemed otherworldly to fans of the Bombers (not to mention the sanity at the managerial spot). And while there was a begrudging tip of the hat over the years to Big Papi and Curt Shilling's sock, whenever guys like Wade Boggs or Johnny Damon joined the team and

That's understandable, but they should know that the St. Louis Blues are second on the list of teams many non-locals wouldn't mind seeing win Lord Stanley's Cup someday, if only to keep things interesting.

Carolyn W.

SOCIAL SECURITY COMBATS HOMELESSNESS AND HELPS VETERANS ACCESS BENEFITS Housing Alliance participated in the discussion. In 2015, Virginia announced that it had ended homelessness among veterans. Many federal and state agencies are looking to replicate best practices from Virginia’s success in their respective states. Social Security has collaborated with other federal agencies to develop key strategies for connecting veterans and other individuals experiencing homelessness to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits. Through partnerships across the country with the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery (SOAR) initiative, the agency receives more complete disability applications. They have a higher rate of approval on the initial application because someone is helping the applicant, especially homeless people who have difficulty documenting their cases and getting their medical records. SOAR is a national project, funded by the SAMHSA, designed to increase access to SSI and SSDI for eligible adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have a mental illness, medical impairment, and/or a cooccurring substance use disorder. The SOAR project provides training on how to complete the SSI/SSDI application to service providers working with indi-
viduals experiencing homelessness. Veterans are at an increased risk of both homelessness and disability. Social Security offers several initiatives to accelerate processing disability benefit claims from veterans. Since 2005, the agency has provided expedited processing of disability applications for wounded warriors who have suffered an injury or illness while serving on active duty after October 1, 2001. Beginning in 2014, disability applications for those with a Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation rating of 100% receive expedited processing for Social Security disability benefits. Social Security worked with the VA to set up a data exchange to identify these veterans when they first apply for Social Security or SSI benefits. The agency is proud to support President Obama’s efforts to take care of veterans who have sacrificed so much. For more information about wounded warriors and veterans who have a compensation rating of 100%, please visit www. socialsecurity.gov/veterans.

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
A Genuine Hero Mankind has always had an innate need for a hero. Children play and pretend to be certain heroes. Mythology recounts the mighty acts of heroes. Modern fiction has formulated superheroes. But none of these heroes are real. On Memorial Day we honor true heroes. They are ordinar y men and women who served their country in uniform and gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in battle. Scott Sernes recounted the story of Medal of Honor recipient Captain Ed Freeman. “You’re a 19-year-old kid. You’re critically wounded and dying in the jungles of Vietnam. Your unit is outnumbered 8 – 1 and the enemy fire is so intense that your CO has ordered Med Evac helicopters to stop coming in. You’re lying there, listening to the enemy’s machine guns and you know you’re not getting out. “As the world starts to fade in and out, you know that this is the day. Then, over the sound of the machine guns, you faintly hear the sound of a helicopter. You look up and see a Huey coming in. It doesn’t seem real; there’s no Med Evac insignias visible. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He heard the radio call and decided he’s flying down into the battle anyway. They load three of you at a time and fly you out through the hail of bullets to safety – to nurses and doctors. He keeps flying in and out – 13 more times –

until all the wounded are out. No one knew, until the mission was over, that Captain Freeman had been hit 4 times in his legs and left arm. He took you and 29 of your buddies out that day.” Captain Ed Freeman, USAF, was a goodness to God genuine hero! What is a goodness to God genuine hero? HE LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. Jesus defines it in John 15:3, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” Jesus revealed his identity and mission, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11) What loving friendship Jesus demonstrated on the cross. HE LAYS DOWN HIS

LIFE FOR HIS ENEMIES. Jesus demonstrated the extraordinary love of God, “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yea per adventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commended his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:7-8) As Jesus hung on the cross between two thieves, he prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) An old gospel song by Dottie Rambo says, “If that isn’t love, the ocean is dry. There’s no stars in the sky. And the sparrow can’t fly. If that isn’t love. Then heaven’s a myth. There’s no feeling like this. If that isn’t love.” HE STANDS UP FOR THE MARGINALIZED AND BROKEN. A lady, charged with adultery, was brought to Jesus. The law said to stone her. Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you,

let him cast the first stone . . . Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, . . . Jesus said to the woman, “Neither do I condemn you: go and sin no more” (John 8:7-11) Jesus stands up for you when everyone else walks away. Jesus is the goodness to God genuine hero in my book. He not only died in our place, but he conquered death, hell, and the grave when he arose on the third day. He is Lord! (Romans 10:9) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

Ouch! Sanders has flat out said if he is elected president, Debbie Wasserman Schultz will not be the chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). There's a lot of friction in the Democratic Party, which I find interesting because they should have learned something from the Republican Tea Party. Ms. Schultz, Barack Obama's handpicked puppet, has followed through with her boss (Obama) and has become another great divider of the Democrats. Hillar y is running around saying, "I will be the Democratic nominee." Not so fast, Ms. Clinton! And Billy is pointing out that his wife is being treated disrespectfully by the Sanders camp, in essence saying to Bernie, step aside and support "the queen." Flash back, folks, to 2008 when Hillary was saying the same thing Bernie's saying today. In other words, my point is it's not over till it's over! Although it's likely Hillary is right and she'll probably b e t h e D e m o c r at i c nominee, I wouldn't put my last dollar on it. In my personal opinion, even though I'm not in the Bernie camp, I think the Democratic Chair and Party establishment has been unfair to Sanders.
Wednesday, May 25, 2016
I'm looking at the delegate numbers, not super delegates, and it's close. As of last Sunday: Clinton delegates 1,768; Sanders delegates 1,494. Clinton super delegates 525; Sanders super delegates 39. There are only 712 delegates remaining so neither will reach the magic number with regular delegates. These numbers alone should give the Hillary supporters and the Democratic Party reason to pause. Is Hillary the people's choice? Plus on June 7, the last big primary day, I believe the numbers, minus super delegates, could flip. Time will tell. In the beginning of this election cycle I said this go-round it would be very different. It has been and I'm sorry to say it could get worse. So what's next? Hillary ads are using the woman card and targeting the female vote. Unfortunately, some portions of the ads have been taken out of context. And don't be shocked if Michelle Obama doesn't hit the campaign trail, looking to pull in the black female vote, especially the young voters where Hillary remains weak. While Democrats are suffering a great divide, with Bernie supporters saying they won't vote Hillary, when you put the numbers together they're showing Bernie Sanders
has a much greater chance of beating Trump by far over Hillary Clinton. Hillary said Sunday she thinks Trump should release his tax returns. I sort of think she should release all the emails and her Wall Street speeches. But leaving you with a thought on Socialism: Take a good look at Venezuela, the sixth richest oil nation in the world. This once progressive country has fallen into violence, a hamburger costs $170.00. Women are being asked to not use hair dryers because of lack of power. People are protesting against rationed food. SOCIALIST UNREST. What does this have to do with anything? Plenty. Bernie Sanders is a proclaimed socialist, but in reality, so is Hillar y Clinton. She just doesn't claim to be! In closing, I believe we'll w it n e s s t h e u g l i e s t Presidential race of all time! Needless to say, the winds could continue to shift, leaving it virtually impossible to predict. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

GSSIʼS 27H ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC
NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) held its 27th Annual Girl Scout Golf Classic at Sunset Hills Country Club on May 9. Rain and wind didn’t dampen the spirits of golfers at the Girl Scout golf classic as players helped raise $27,500. “This was our first time
Boaters can enjoy a safe season on the water in Illinois this summer if boat operators are sober and all boaters and boat passengers wear life jackets. Illinois Conservation Police officers, who patrol waterways throughout the state, are reminding boaters of safety laws and regulations leading up to National Safe Boating Week, May 21-27. “We encourage safe boating throughout the year in Illinois, and reminders about life jackets and sober boating are particularly important heading into the busiest season of the year on the water,” said Illinois Conservation Police Chief Rafael Gutierrez. “Like fastening a seat belt in your car or truck, fastening a life jacket can save your life; and, staying sober while operating a boat is the law in Illinois.” Statistics compiled by the IDNR Office of Law Enforcement show that there were 74 boating-related accidents on Illinois waters in 2015 resulting in 49 injuries and 14 fatalities. During the last five years, Illinois had an annual average of 84 boating accidents resulting in 58 injuries and 18 fatalities. (Annual boating accident

supporters and players for another successful golf classic,” Gobert added. During the past 27 years, the Girl Scout golf classic has raised more than $828,000 to support girl program development, girl financial assistance and to maintain and improve Girl Scout camps.

statistics are compiled based on the Federal Fiscal Year of October 1 through September 30). Illinois Conservation Police officers (CPOs) in 2015 made 179 arrests for boaters operating under the influence (OUI), a 12.5 percent increase in OUI arrests from 2014. IDNR statistics indicate six of the 14 boating-related fatalities in Illinois last year involved alcohol or drug impairment, while 13 of the 14 people who died in boating accidents may have survived if they had worn a life jacket or other personal flotation device (PFD). Illinois law requires that PFDs – life jackets or life vests – be available for each person aboard a boat or other watercraft. State law also requires that anyone under the age of 13 must wear a life jacket while aboard any watercraft under 26 feet in length at all times the boat is underway, unless they are below deck in an enclosed cabin or operating on private property. Illinois law also requires persons of any age to wear a PFD while operating a personal watercraft or Jet Ski. The IDNR offers free
boating safety courses providing a review of boating laws and regulations and instruction on safe and attentive operation of watercraft. The IDNR encourages boaters of all ages to take a safety course. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1998 must pass a course and have a valid Boating Safety Certificate to operate a motorboat (with over 10 horsepower); and, state law requires boating safety education for persons ages 12 to 17 to operate a motorboat. The free safety courses taught by volunteer instructors are available throughout Illinois, and schedules are available by checking the IDNR website’s boating information page at http://www.dnr.illinois.gov/safety/Pages/ BoatingSafety.aspx For a fee, online boating safety courses are also available. National Safe Boating Week is observed each year during the week leading up to the Memorial Day holiday weekend. For more information on the national safe boating campaign, go to the website at www.safeboatingcampaign. com.

BY MS. LOWDER, SOCIAL SECURITY DISTRICT MANAGER IN MOUNT VERNON, IL
Traditionally, on Memorial Day we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Social Security respects the heroism and courage of our military service members, and we remember those who have given their lives in defense of freedom. The unexpected loss of a service member is a difficult experience for the family. Social Security helps by providing benefits to protect service members’ dependents. Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social Security survivors benefits. You can learn more about Social Security survivors benefits at www. socialsecurity.gov/survivors. It’s also important to recognize those service members who are still with us, especially those who have been wounded. Just as they served us, we have the obligation to serve them. Social Security has benefits to protect veterans when an injury prevents them from returning to active duty. Wounde d mi lit ar y service members can also receive expedited processing of their disability claims. For example, Social Security will provide expedited processing of disability claims filed by veterans who have a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation rating of 100 percent Permanent & Total (P&T). Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel, including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses, may be eligible to receive benefits. You can get answers to commonly asked questions and find useful information about the application process at www. socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors. Service members can also receive Social Security in addition to military retirement benefits. The good news is that your military retirement benefit does not reduce your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about Social Security retirement benefits
at www.socialsecurity.gov/ retirement. You may also want to visit the Military Service page of our Retirement Planner, available at www.socialsecurity.gov/ retire2/veterans.htm. Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health insurance from the VA or under the TRICARE or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you become eligible for Medicare. Learn more about Medicare benefits at www. socialsecurity.gov/medicare. In acknowledgment of those who died for our country, those who served, and those who serve today, we at Social Security honor and thank you. Question: I was wounded while on military service overseas. What are the benefits for wounded warriors, and how can I apply? Answer: Through the Wounded Warrior program, Social Security expedites processing of disability claims of current military service members or veterans disabled while on active duty on or after October 1, 2001. Also, service members and veterans who have a Veterans Administration compensation rating of 100% Permanent and Total (P&T) may receive expedited processing of applications for Social Security disability benefits. Keep in mind, this expedited process applies to only the application process. To be eligible for benefits, you must meet Social Security’s strict definition of “disability,” which means: • You must be unable to do substantial work because of your medical condition(s); and • Yo u r m e d i c a l condition(s) must have lasted, or be expected to last, at least one year or to result in death. You can apply online at www.socialsecurity.gov/ applyfordisability or call our toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

With several area veterans in attendance, Purple Heart recipients Jim Murphy and Michael Draege cut the purple ribbon for the newly painted and reserved purple parking space at Buchheit in Centralia. The reserved space for combat wounded was first introduced at the Jacksonville Buchheit store, an idea by their assistant manager Robert Ayres, a
Steffy’s
retired veteran. According to Centralia Buchheit Manager John Hendrickson, "All eight Buchheit stores plus our distribution center, main office, feed mill and trucking division will have designated combat wounded parking spaces. Buchheit feels this is another great way to recognize and honor our veterans who have given so much." Shopper's Weekly Staff Photos

Chicken From Around The World (Part 1) Americans aren't the only people whose favorite meat is chicken. From Japan to Mexico you will find an array of delicious and healthy dishes. This week's and next week's columns will focus on some of my tried and true dishes.
YOUR HEALTH IS IMPORTANT TO US!
Japanese Boiled Chicken SESAME SAUCE: 1 cup sesame seeds 1/2 cup Asian-style sesame oil 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce 2 T. Japanese rice vinegar or freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 quarts lightly seasoned homemade chicken stock, or 5 cups canned low-sodium broth and 3 cups water 4 boned and skinned chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 or 3 medium-sized carrots, sliced on the diagonal 6 green onions, sliced on the diagonal into 2" pieces
1 small Napa or other Asian-type cabbage (about 1½ lbs.), leaves separated 1 bunch spinach (about 1 lb.), trimmed 1 lb. firm tofu, cut into 1/2" dice (optional) 4 to 6 oz. fresh enoki mushrooms (slender Japanese white mushrooms; optional) 2 to 3 cups hot steamed short-grain brown or white rice
Green Curry Thai Style Take a fast trip to Thailand
CHICKEN CURRY: 6 boned chicken breast halves or 8 boned thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 2 cups coconut milk
Accepting New Patients
1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream 3/4 cup lightly seasoned homemade chicken stock, or 6 T. each canned low-sodium broth and water
To make sauce, place sesame seeds in heavy pan over medium-high heat and toast, stirring frequently, until golden. Remove from heat and pour onto plate to cool. Combine cooled sesame seeds and sesame oil in blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add soy sauce, vinegar or lemon juice, cream, and stock, and blend until well mixed. Reserve. Pour chicken stock into large pan and place over medium heat. Bring to boil. Add chicken, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until chicken is tender but still moist, about 6 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and reserve. Add vegetables to simmering stock one type at a time. Cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon before adding the next vegetable. Reserve each vegetable in a different bowl. Cook tofu in the same way until heated through and reserve. To serve, pour reserved sesame sauce into 6 individual sauce bowls and place alongside a small bowl of rice at each place setting. Serve the chicken, each vegetable, and the tofu in separate communal bowls, allowing diners to make selections. Eat the chicken, vegetables, and tofu with chopsticks, dipping each bite into the sesame sauce. After eating the chicken and vegetables, ladle some of the hot broth into 6 individual bowls. Add a bit of leftover sauce to the broth and drink the soup. Alternatively, combine the chicken, vegetables, and tofu in the broth and ladle the mixture into individual bowls. After eating the chicken and vegetables with chopsticks, add some of the leftover sauce to the broth and drink the soup. Serves 6.
GREEN CURRY PASTE: 10 fresh small Serrano or other hot green chili peppers 3 medium-sized shallots, coarsely chopped 5 garlic cloves 1 (1/2") piece fresh or thawed frozen galangal root or ginger root, chopped 1 stalk fresh or dried lemon grass, bottom part only, chopped, or 1 T. freshly grated lemon zest 2 tsp. freshly grated lime zest
Providing Care For Your Family
1 tsp. fresh shrimp paste, or 1/2 tsp. anchovy paste 2 tsp. ground coriander 2 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1/2 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds 1 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (coriander) 1/4 cup peanut oil 1/4 cup vegetable oil

3 T. fish sauce, or 1 T. low-sodium soy sauce Fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves
To make curry paste, combine chilies, shallots, garlic, galangal or ginger, lemon grass or zest, and lime zest in food processor or blender and chop until well mixed. Add shrimp or anchovy paste, coriander, nutmeg, cumin, black pepper, cloves, fennel, salt, and cilantro. Puree until well blended. Add oil, a little at a time, pureeing until smooth. Transfer to airtight container, top with a little peanut oil, and store in refrigerator. Makes about 1 cup; keeps 3 to 4 weeks. To make chicken curry, heat 2 T. vegetable oil in skillet or saucepan over medium heat, add chicken, and saute until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove chicken with slotted spoon and reserve. Heat remaining 2 T. oil in the same pan, add about 1/4 cup curry paste, or to taste, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and cook about 5 minutes. Add reserved chicken and fish sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes for breast meat or 12 to 15 minutes for thigh meat. Just before serving, stir in cilantro leaves and heat briefly. Serves 6 to 8 as part of a Thai dinner, or 4 as a main course. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU Memorial Day 2016
There are not enough words to thank the men and women who are serving and have served in the armed forces. We cannot express how much gratitude we give for the suffering and sorrow of those who lost their loved ones. Those brave men and women gave the most precious gift God gave us, “life�. The brave men and women served in our armed forces without question, complaint or regard to their own issues, every day to give us our rights and freedoms. As time passes, we hope everyone will remember those who are still standing and remember our fallen to honor and pay tribute to all who served in the armed forces. May God Bless Every One of You.

THE HISTORY OF MEMORIAL DAY Though many people are quick to refer to Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer, the day is much more than that. Initially known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day to remember those militar y members who died in service of the country. The origins of Memorial Day remain a topic of debate. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y. as the official birthplace of Memorial Day. However, the roots of Memorial Day likely run much deeper, as researchers at Duke University note that during the Civil War, organized women's groups in the south had begun to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. Memorial Day as we know it today can likely be traced to Charleston, S.C., where teachers, missionaries and some members of the press gathered on May 1, 1865 to honor fallen soldiers. During the Civil War, captured Union sol-
diers were held at the Charleston Race Course and hundreds died during captivity. Upon their deaths, soldiers were buried in unmarked graves. When the Civil War ended, the May Day gathering was organized as a memorial to all the men who had died during captivity. The burial ground was landscaped, and those freed as a result of the Civil War played an integral role in the event at the Charleston Race Course. While the event in Charleston might have been the first Memorial Day-type celebration in the southern United States, General John A. Logan is often cited as inspiring similar events in the north. As commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' organization for men who served in the Civil War, General Logan issued a proclamation just five days after the Charleston event that called for Decoration Day to be observed annu-
ally across the country. Logan preferred the event not be held on the anniversary of any particular battle, and thus the day was observed for the first time on May 30. Celebrating the day in May also was significant to event organizers because May is a month when flowers are in bloom, making it easier for observers of the holiday to place flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. In 1868, events were held at more than 180 cemeteries in 27 states, and those figures nearly doubled in 1869. By 1890, every northern state officially recognized Decoration Day as a state holiday. But southern states honored their dead on a different day until after World War I, when the holiday was changed to recognize Americans who died in any war and not just the Civil War. Nearly every state now celebrates Memorial Day, a name for the holiday first used in 1882, on the last Monday in May.

HOW TO HONOR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN Men and women serving in the military make considerable sacrifices in defense of the United States and its citizens. Such sacrifices can easily be taken for granted by those with no friends or family members serving in the military, but it's important for all Americans to recognize the efforts of both active and veteran servicemen and women. Honoring active military members and veterans does not have to be an elaborate under taking. S er vice members and their families often cherish even the simplest of gestures, and the following are a handful of ways grateful men and women can show their appreciation to active and retired members of the military. * Help a neighbor who's on active duty. Active duty service members can be away from their families for long periods of time, and their absence can make things difficult for their families. Spouses of deployed service members are typically left to manage a household on their own for months at a time. Neighbors can show their appreciation by helping with some chores around the house. Offer to mow a neighbor's lawn or drive a neighbor's kids to school. Such gestures might seem small, but they can go a long way toward alleviating some of the stress that spouses of deployed service members deal with on a daily basis. * Support the Wounded Warrior Project. Many service members sustain physical injuries while deployed. The Wounded Warrior Project works to raise awareness and enlist the public's help to address the needs of injured service members. Men and women who want to show their appreciation to injured service members can work with the Wounded Warrior Project

More information about working with the Wounded Warrior Project is available at www.woundedwarriorproject.org. * Write a letter of appreciation. One of the simplest ways to show your support for service members is to write them a letter expressing that appreciation. If a friends, relatives or neighbors are active service members or veterans, sit down and write a letter telling them how much you appreciate their sacrifice in service of their country, and encourage youngsters to do the same. If you don't know any members of the military, you can work with A Million Thanks (www.amillionthanks.org), a yearround campaign that encourages Americans to write letters or emails or send cards or prayers to U.S. military personnel, past and present to thank them for their sacrifices, dedication and service. * Exercise your right to vote.

WORLD WAR II VETERANS: DWINDLING IN NUMBER, BUT NOT IN OUR HEARTS BY T. SCOTT PINKOWSKI World War II veterans are truly a dying breed. According to the Veterans Administration, approximately 492 World War II veterans die every day. Unfortunately, with these men and women die the stories and accounts that have never been written down, captured on film or told to grandchildren. As a result, World War II and the “greatest generation” that lived it, will soon seem as distant to today's young people as the Civil War is to my generation. But to those lives it has touched, directly or indirectly through loved ones, it will remain as large as life. My grandfather, Jerry Pinkowski, (1915-1993) was 26 years old when America entered World War II. He was considered 'unfit for service' due to a childhood injury to his arm that healed incorrectly. But with the Army’s need for personnel being what it was at the time, they accepted him along with many other “limited” service men. He served as a mechanic in the 347th Ordnance Depot Company which was eventually attached to General George S. Patton’s famous Third Army. Although Grandpa got the “express tour” of Europe while chasing after Patton’s racing armored columns, he still found time to take photographs. Lots of them! Unfortunately, it was only through these photos that I was able to learn much of the details of my Grandpa’s service during the war. Like many World War II veterans he was pretty closed-lipped about his experiences in the war, and my family really
wasn’t aware of the treasure trove of photograph negatives he had stashed away until after he lost his battle with cancer in 1993. I regretted not finding out more about the places he'd been, the things he'd seen, and the people he knew. I had missed the golden opportunity to hear my grandpa’s first-hand accounts, but the one thousand photographs that he left behind told a story all their own. Over the years I have enjoyed studying his photograph collection. Casually at first, then later becoming more and more serious about unravelling the mysteries contained on the celluloid. The photos’ subjects are Former Odin resident Staff Sergeant Jerry varied and range from ordi- Pinkowski of The 347th Ordnance Depot nary everyday scenes of him Company. and his comrades working, to 13th century gothic cathedrals surrounded by crumbling ruins. In 2000 I published some of them on a website called Lost Images Of World War II, inviting visitors to offer their identifications and observations about the photos. That project springboarded me into more extensive research where I’ve been able to retrace Grandpa’s tracks across In the spring of 1945, Pinkowski's unit Europe, and also talk with the crossed the Rhine using pontoon treadway very few surviving members bridges like this one at a town called Mainz. of his unit that I could find. In August of 2011, I launched a new, more detailed website which features several hundreds of Grandpa's photos along with summaries, analyses and modern day photo comparisons.

memoirs. Tell your stories. Show your old photos to your family while you can still tell the stories behind them. Shining through in those stories will be the values and traditions of a time when sacrifice was commonplace, valor was allin-a-day's-work and truck drivers, college students, farm boys, and carpet store owners were heroes. Through loved ones, the struggles of our Nation during the war have touched my life, and I know that my grandfather played an important part. I understand the sacrifices that my grandfather made, and the ones he was willing to make during a time when hundreds of thousands made the ultimate sacrifice. This selfless attitude is characteristic of American veterans—past and present. We must never forget those who went before us and made life in America as it is today possible.

Our Duty, Our Honor, Our Country
From a speech made by Capt. John S. McCain U.S. (Rep) who represents Arizona in the U.S. Senate As you may know, I spent five and one half years as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. In the early years of our imprisonment, the NVA kept us in solitary confinement or two or three to a cell. In 1971 the NVA moved us from these conditions of isolation into large rooms with as many as 30 to 40 men to a room. This was, as you can imagine, a wonderful change and was a direct result of the efforts of millions of Americans on behalf of a few hundred POWs 10,000 miles from home. One of the men who moved into my room was a young man named Mike Christian. Mike came from a small town near Selma, Alabama. He didn't wear a pair of shoes until he was 13 years old. At 17, he enlisted in the US Navy. He later earned a commission by going to Officer Training School. Then he became

a Naval Flight Officer and was shot down and captured in 1967. Mike had a keen and deep appreciation of the opportunities this country, and our military, provide for people who want to work and want to succeed. As part of the change in treatment, the Vietnamese allowed some prisoners to receive packages from home. In some of these packages were handkerchiefs, scarves and other items of clothing. Mike got himself a bamboo needle. Over a period of a couple of months, he created an American flag and sewed it on the inside of his shirt. Every afternoon, before we had a bowl of soup, we would hang Mike's shirt on the wall of the cell and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I know the Pledge of Allegiance may not seem the most important part of our day now, but I can assure you that in that stark cell, it was
indeed the most important and meaningful event. One day the Vietnamese searched our cell, as they did periodically, and discovered Mike's shirt with the flag sewn inside, and removed it. That evening they returned, opened the door of the cell, and for the benefit of all us, beat Mike Christian severely for the next couple of hours. Then, they opened the door of the cell and threw him in. We cleaned him up as well as we could. The cell in which we lived had a concrete slab in the middle on which we slept. Four naked light bulbs hung in each corner of the room. As I said, we tried to clean up Mike as well as we could. After the excitement died down, I looked in the corner of the room, and sitting there beneath that dim light bulb with a piece of red cloth, another shirt and his bamboo needle, was my friend, Mike
Christian. He was sitting there with his eyes almost shut from the beating he had received, making another American flag. He was not making the flag because it made Mike Christian feel better. He was making that flag because he knew how important it was to us to be able to pledge our allegiance to our flag and country. So the next time you say the Pledge of Allegiance, you must never forget the sacrifice and courage that thousands of Americans have made to build our nation and promote freedom around the world. You must remember our duty, our honor, and our country. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

REMEMBER SACRIFICE ON MEMORIAL DAY More than 100 years ago in 1863, America was in the midst of the most painful time in our history — the Civil War. On the site of the bloody battle, on the outskirts of Columbus, Mississippi, a group of women walked among the fresh graves. They carried wildflowers to lay on the graves of their Confederate soldiers who were buried there. As they moved from one grave to another, they noticed another group of graves off to one side. They were clearly the graves of Union soldiers who had died on the same field of battle. With little discussion, they began to lay their flowers on those graves as well. The healing of a nation began at that point. The compassion of these
19
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
Southern ladies for those who died fighting against their husbands, fathers and sons gave a clear message that, in death, all are equal. This small gesture was passed by word of mouth. Union and Confederate soldiers alike were touched by this simple act of honor. A Union veterans organization, called the Grand Army of the Republic, decided to designate a special day to honor the fallen from both sides. The following order was issued: “The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and
hamlet churchyard in the land. Their soldier lives were the reveille of freedom to a race of chains and their deaths a tattoo (drumbeat) of rebellious tyranny in arms. We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance.” New York was the first state to set aside this day for specific remembrance of those fallen in battle. In 1873, they passed a law designating May 30 as Decoration Day. In 1882, the holiday was adopted across the United States and renamed “Memorial Day.” In 1973, Memorial Day was officially established as the last Monday in May. On Memorial Day, the sky will likely be clear and most of us will have the day off to enjoy a long weekend. All of us, even
the veterans, will have a tendency to enjoy the day without a thought to those who should be remembered. These are the ones who never married their sweetheart, never saw their children play, never went back to school or pursued their dream career. For them and the families they left behind, we must pause during our picnics and gatherings. We must pause, if only for a moment, to remember their sacrifices. If they could speak they would likely say, “Make the most of your freedom and privileges. We purchased them with our lives.” I guess we owe them at least that much. I am sure they would ask for no more.

Have A Safe and Happy Memorial Day from
In Flanders Fields
by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: My 5-year-old shih-tzu cross, “Louie,” just had surgery to remove bladder stones. They were 90 percent calcium oxalate and 10 percent calcium phosphate. My vet has prescribed a strict diet of (expensive) food purchased only through their office. I am feeding Louie the special food from the vet, but I’m not certain this is the right choice. I found some online sites that recommend a homemade diet of chicken, rice and peas. What would you recommend to prevent a recurrence of these stones? — Bev R., Melville, Saskatchewan, Canada DEAR BEV: Ouch! I’m Washington County Animal Control’s

sorry that Louie is going through this. It’s great that you’re doing all you can to prevent a recurrence, including knowing the type of stones he has. Louie’s bladder stones were determined to be calcium oxalate, which can form when a dog’s urine is acidic. There are two other common types of bladder stones that dogs can suffer from: struvite, formed in alkaline urine; and urate, seen often in dogs with liver disease. The issue with oxalatetype stones is that they generally must be surgically removed. That’s different from struvite stones, which might be dissolved through medication and diet. However, both types may be PREVENTED through a special diet. For more information, go to www. monicasegal.com/wordpress/ and search for “bladder stones.” Her blog can give greater details about types of stones and appropriate

by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century television, film and culture critic John Leonard who made the following sage observation: "In the cellars of the night, when the mind starts moving around old trunks of bad times, the pain of this and the shame of that, the memory of a small boldness is a hand to hold." • You probably won't be surprised to learn that
a group of hedgehogs is known as a prickle. • In almost every state, there is a statute on the books making it illegal to jump off the top of an office building. Unsurprisingly, there's not much call to prosecute those who violate the law; district attorneys aren't in the habit of filing charges against corpses. However, in a few states, if you survive
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Home conditions still demand attention. Also, keep an open mind about a sudden question of trust involving a close friend. All the facts are not yet in. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) With summer just around the corner, travel begins to dominate your sign. Make plans carefully to avoid potential problems in the first half of June. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A romantic Libra sets a challenge that your “sensible” side might question, but your idealistic self finds the prospect too intriguing to resist. The choice is yours. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Those tense times in your personal life are just about over. Concentrate on reaffirming relationships. Your love of travel opens a surprising new opportunity. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat usually loves to be in the center of things. But this week it might be wiser to watch and learn from the sidelines. A Pisces wants to make you purr. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) “New” is your watchword this week. Be open to new ideas, both on the job and in your personal life. A romantic Aries or Sagittarian beckons. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some difficult family decisions have to be faced, but be sure to get more facts before you act. Be
jumping off a building and are tried and convicted of violating that law, you could be sentenced to death. • Those who study such things say that among social media users, those who use Twitter are less likely to smoke than users of other platforms. • Just as humans have distinctive fingerprints, dogs have nose prints — no two are the same. • You doubtless know of Theodore Geisel — better known as Dr. Seuss, the beloved author of such children's classics as "The Cat in the Hat,"
careful not to neglect your health during this trying time. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You still need to support a loved one through a difficult time. Meanwhile, things continue to work out to your benefit in the workplace. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Aspects continue to favor expanding social opportunities. A Gemini reaches out to offer a chance for re-establishing a once-close relationship. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) There’s a potential for misunderstanding in both your job and your personal life. A full explanation of your intentions helps smooth things over. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be feeling restless on the job, but delay making any major moves until all the facts are in. A Scorpio has a surprising revelation. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your business sense works to your advantage as you sort through the possibilities that are opening up. A Libra is Cupid’s best bet for your romantic prospects. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for being open-minded about people. This helps you make friends easily. You would do very well in public service. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
"Horton Hears a Who" and "Green Eggs and Ham," among many others. You might not realize, though, that his first book, "And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street," was rejected by more than two dozen publishers before it finally made it into print. • Did you know that dogs appear in the Bible?
