The Invictus Games, a Paralympic-styled competition, is the brainchild of Prince Harry, who founded the games with a grant from his foundation in 2014. And while the event certainly draws its share of celebrity involvement and the competition is fierce, it isn't the sort of event that has any losers in the traditional sense. And, unfortunately, it isn't the kind of event that many newsrooms would choose to enshrine on their library walls. But men like Master Sgt. Del Toro, who will compete in cycling and powerlifting, embody the word "invictus," L atin for "unconquered," perhaps as well or better than any other athlete ever, and the words he shared transcend competition and speak more to the human heart. "I will never let the guys who set that bomb get the satisfaction that they ruined my life," Del Toro declared. Now that's something you can put on any wall. Remember to never forget our soldiers.

Steffy’s

Separate lettuce leaves, wash, dry, wrap in a cloth, and chill at least 1 hour. If using dried cloud ears or dried mushrooms, cover with warm water and let stand 2 hours. Drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard tough stems, mince cloud ears or mushrooms, and reserve. Put sesame seeds in small skillet over medium heat, and toast seeds, stirring or shaking pan, until golden, about 5 minutes. Empty onto a plate to cool. Reserve. Mince chicken thighs with sharp knife and reserve. In small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sherry, and sugar. Stir well and reserve. Arrange all ingredients within easy reach of stove. Heat wok or large saute pan over high heat for about 30 seconds, add vegetable oil, and quickly swirl it to coat surfaces of pan. Add minced chicken, green onions, and ginger; stir-fry 2 minutes over high heat. Add water chestnuts and reserved cloud ears or mushrooms and stir-fry another 2 minutes. Add sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, oyster sauce mixture, and cornstarch mixture. Stir-fry until well blended and sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large platter, garnish with red pepper, and serve immediately, accompanied with chilled lettuce leaves. To eat, place about 1 tablespoonful of chicken mixture on a lettuce leaf, roll or fold the lettuce, and eat out of hand. Serves 6 to 8 as part of a Chinese dinner, or 4 to 6 as main course.

Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chili Sauce GREEN CHILI SAUCE: About 24 fresh tomatillos (Mexican husk tomatoes), or 2 cans (13 oz. each) tomatillos 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 cups chopped onion 6 or 8 fresh mild green chili peppers, or 2 cans (7 oz. each) chopped mild chili peppers 3 tsp. minced or pressed garlic

2 T. minced fresh oregano, or 2 tsp. dried oregano, finely crumbled 2 T. freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice 1 tsp. sugar, or to taste Salt 2 cups homemade chicken stock or canned broth 2 bay leaves

CHICKEN FILLING: 1 (3- to 3½ lb.) fryer 2 cups (1/2 lb.)shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 T. minced fresh oregano, or 1 tsp. dried oregano, finely crumbled

Vegetable oil for frying 12 corn tortillas 2 cups (1/2 lb.)shredded Monterey Jack cheese Avocado slices or guacamole for garnish Chopped ripe tomato for garnish

Sour cream for garnish Ripe olives for garnish Fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves for garnish and passing Hot green chili salsa for passing (optional)

To make chili sauce, first prepare tomatillos. If using fresh tomatillos, remove and discard husks and stems, place in saucepan, cover with water, and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until translucent and almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain again. Reserve. If using canned tomatillos, drain and reserve. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat, add onion, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to food processor or blender and add reserved tomatillos, chilies, garlic, oregano, lemon or lime juice, sugar, salt to taste, and 1 cup chicken stock. Blend until smooth. Transfer tomatillo mixture to saucepan and add remaining 1 cup chicken stock and bay leaves. Bring to boil over medium high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer sauce until slightly thickened and flavors are well blended, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Use sauce immediately or refrigerate as long as overnight. Reheat before using. To make chicken filling, place chicken in heavy pot, add water to cover barely, bring to boil over high heat, and skim off any scum. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is very tender, about 1¾ to 2 hours. Cool chicken in stock. Remove chicken and discard skin and bones. (Reserve stock for another use.) Shred or chop chicken into very small pieces. Combine chicken, cheese, and oregano in bowl. Reserve. Preheat oven to 350° F. Reheat chili sauce. Pour oil in skillet to depth of 1/2 inch and fry tortillas, one at a time, over medium heat just a few seconds to freshen, then dip immediately and briefly into chili sauce. Lay each tortilla on a flat surface, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup of filling down center of each, roll up into a cylinder, and place, seam side down, in ovenproof dish. Spoon a little sauce over tops of enchiladas. Cover baking dish with foil and bake until chicken filling is heated through, about 15 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle cheese over enchiladas, and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. To serve, spoon some green chili sauce onto each of 6 preheated plates. Arrange 2 hot enchiladas on top of sauce on each plate and garnish with avocado slices or guacamole, chopped tomato, sour cream, olives, and cilantro. Pass additional cilantro and hot chili salsa at table. Serves 6. *** 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.

FIELD SCHOOL MAY ACCELERATED READERS AREA TRACK TEAM WINS FIRST AT STATE

Submitted Photo

Third through fifth grade students at Field School in Texico, Illinois participated in the Accelerated Reading Program. Students pictured received the highest percentage and highest points in each class for the month of May. Also pictured are students that received the highest points, highest percentage and the highest Lexile average for the entire school year in each class. The Lexile framework for reading is an educational tool that uses a measure

called a Lexile to match readers with books, articles and other leveled reading resources. Readers and books are assigned a score on the Lexile scale, in which lower scores reflect easier readability for books and lower reading ability for readers.

The historian, essentially, wants more documents than he can really use; the dramatist only wants more liberties than he can really take. –Henry James

In the news last week: • Obama says world leaders are "rattled" by Trump • Clinton's willful disregard for the rules • Former Clinton Foundation board member under federal investigation First up, Obama said last week that the world leaders are "rattled" by Donald Trump and "for good reason." During a press conference in Japan, Obama said the American presidential election is being "very" closely watched overseas, and gave as the reason that a lot of the proposals Trump has made display either ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude. S o r r y, f o l k s , t h i s comment made me take a couple steps backwards. These words are coming out of the mouth of a man who was a freshman senator when he took office in the White House, who had not an ounce of foreign policy experience with the exception of sitting on the foreign relations committee as a freshman senator. Nor did he have an ounce of business experience. This is a man that has held office for seven years and has gone against some of our greatest allies, e.g. Israel, among others. He and John Kerry negotiated an agreement with Iran that was a total joke, as well as leaving behind Americans who were being held in Iranian prisons, without even trying to negotiate for their release. This is a man that has total disregard for our standing in the world. Unbelievable! The world at large absolutely doesn't have a high opinion of America after Obama's two terms, and if you don't believe me, ask any foreigner, pay attention to world news or travel abroad. My mind flashes back to France after the bombings, when many world leaders gathered together to support France except Obama, and after the bombing of Brussels when Obama was in Cuba salsa dancing. I could go on and on. It's not that I'm defending Trump. It's just that any negative coming out of Obama's mouth I find dis-

tasteful. In my opinion, he will go down in history as the worst leader on foreign policy this country has ever had. In my mind, there could only be one as bad, and maybe worse, and that's Hillary Clinton. As for Trump's standing in the world, at least he's not a pushover. I'll assure you that had he made the deal with Iran it would have been in our favor, and every single American would have been released or there would have been no deal. Will we be perceived around the world differently with Trump? I can only hope so, because Barack Obama has not contributed one positive thing to our standing in the world. And speaking of Trump, last Friday he hit the magic number of delegates required for nomination, leaving him the definite Republican nominee. Trump passed the 1,237 mark after unbound delegates from North Dakota, Colorado and Pennsylvania pledged their support for him. On to Hillary Clinton's willful disregard for the rules. Clinton's use of a private email server while Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 has been criticized as an error of judgement. But what the new report from the State Department Inspector General makes clear is that it also was not a casual oversight. Make no mistake, Ms. Clinton had plenty of warnings to use official government communications methods so as to make sure that her records were properly preserved and to minimize cyber security risks. What did Clinton do? She ignored them. Keep in mind that during her tenure she and other state department employees

were told to follow the rule. To make matters worse, on March 11, 2011 an assistant secretary sent a memorandum on cyber security threats directly to Ms. Clinton, noting a "dramatic increase" in attempts to compromise personal email accounts, possibly for spying or blackmail. That still didn't stop her! Her excuse now is I'm not the only one. But keep in mind there was an 83 page report that declared that beginning in late 2005 the department revised its foreign affairs manual and issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use department systems. The fact remains Ms. Clinton didn't follow the rules, and that was a total willful disregard of the rules, in my opinion, putting this country at risk. Yet Obama would go after Trump. Keep in mind Clinton supporters will always have an excuse for her doing what she does. But folks, the facts are the facts. As for the Clintons, they live by their rules and to hell with everything else. While all this is going on another breaking news story last week was former Clinton Foundation board me mb e r G ov. Te r r y McAuliffe (D-VA) is now under federal investigation. Ladies and gentlemen, I was taught early on where there's smoke there's fire, and there's plenty of smoke around the Clintons.

HOW TO HELP STUDENTS WHO NEED SPEECH THERAPY Parents who are active in their children's education often find that such an approach is a great way to recognize any potential problems before they have too significant an impact on a student's educational experience. For example, interaction with educators may shed light on a student's developmental readiness. Parents often first learn of their children's strengths and shortcomings when children are exposed to classroom settings and compared to their fellow students. It is here where teachers may first recognize obstacles that could hinder students as they pursue their education. Parents of preschool and kindergarteners may be made aware of speech issues that may require therapy to address. The good news is that children often make tremendous strides once they

are enrolled in speech therapy. Although determining if a child needs speech therapy can sometimes be confusing and take some effort and testing, parents who receive such a diagnosis about their youngster will need to focus on some skills that can alleviate speech concerns. • Articulation. Many children require speech therapy because of a speech delay or an issue with articulating. This relates to the clarity of speech sounds and overall speech. A child's speech begins with initial sounds as they mimic the adults around them, which will then form words and phrases. It's common for young children who have difficulty with certain speech sounds to substitute easier sounds for certain letters or sound blends. But if inconsistent speech articulation or im-

ment. Sometimes parents are allowed to remain in the room. Physical skills, vocabulary and grammar also will be checked. Once the source of the problem has been identified, a therapist can develop a treatment plan to fix some of the problems. Homework exercises can help parents continue lessons between therapy sessions. Many parents opt to work

with a speech-language pathologist one-on-one. These services may be covered through a health insurance plan. School districts may offer low- or no-cost speech therapy for students who need speech assistance. These may be conducted in solo sessions or as part of a group. Parents should inquire about speech testing at their child's school and if any services are offered.

CANCERS OF THE EYE AND EYELID Cancer involves the uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a particular part of the body. Cancer begins in one area, but it can invade or spread to other parts of the body if it goes undetected or untreated. Certain cancers are more familiar to the general public than others, thanks in part to awareness campaigns and charity fundraisers. But no area of the body, including the eyes and eyelids, is immune to cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the most common type of eye cancer that affects adults is ocular melanoma, while children are more likely to experience retinoblastoma. Cancer can affect the three main parts of the

eye, which include the eyeball, orbit and adnexal structures. The eyeball includes the sclera, uvea and retina. The orbit is the tissue surrounding the eyeball and the muscles that move the eye in different directions. Adnexal structures include the eyelids and the tear glands. Cancer that begins in the eyeball is known as intraocular cancer. Many cases of adnexal cancer, or cancer that affects the eyelid, may actually be skin cancer. In fact, MD Anderson Cancer center says more than 90 percent of eyelid cancers are basal cell carcinomas of the skin. Eye cancer may or may not produce symptoms, and any symptoms it does produce may be different based on the type of cancer

SUPPORT GROUPS PROVIDE EXTRA STRENGTH Cancer is a prolific disease that continues to affect millions of people around the world each year. The World Health Organization says that each year 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer and 7.6 million people die from the disease. Despite the prevalence of cancer, many cancer patients experience feelings of isolation when diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can lead to anxiety and depression, which can impact cancer patients’ ability to fight their disease. Ongoing research into a cure and new treatment options can give individuals hope, but finding a support group can provide the extra boost cancer patients need to make it through a difficult time in their lives. There are many different paths to take to find a cancer support group. One of the first places to find information is with your own doctor. He or she may have a list of nearby support groups that can help you make it through your treatment. You also may be put in touch with other patients who are going through the same struggles. Anot her avenue is through a cancer organization. For example, the American Cancer Society has programs and services to help people find the emotional support they need,

GreenTree Assisted Living Community

is a wonderful way of using your Long Term Policy!

and that help is usually free. The National Cancer Information Center has 24-hour support. According to the center, trained cancer information specialists are available via phone, email or live chat to provide accurate, up-to-date information to patients, family members, and caregivers. These specialists also can help connect callers with valuable services and resources in their communities. Check with a church or community center to see which programs are available in your community. Many community support groups meet in hospitals, churches, schools and other centers. These can be another great resource for information and support. Another resource is online support groups. Thanks to social media, it’s now possible to connect with people from all around the world in a matter of seconds. Use the search function of Facebook to search for a group that suits your needs.

Support groups can help cancer patients connect with people in similar situations and find the resources and emotional support they need.

Bills add up quickly when you can no longer take care of yourself and your needs exceed what family and friends can provide. Buying a long-term care insurance policy can be a way of making sure your future physical needs will be met.

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

A New Name Katie called herself a worrier, but she learned how to escape such a restrictive identity. She began attending a weekly home prayer meeting with friends where they would talk and share scriptures and pray. She learned to turn her fears and concerns into prayer. Katie was changed from a worrier into a prayer warrior. In Christ she had a new identity. In Jesus’ letter to the church at Pergamum, we have a wonderful promise, “He who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone and, on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except him who receives it.” (Revelation 2:17) Pergamum was the capital of Asia and the site of the temple of Aesculapius, the Greek god of healing. The area around the temple was inhabited by thousands of snakes. People traveled from all over the world to seek healing at

Jesus said to the church, “I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is.” (Revelation 2:12-13) Jesus commended the church, but he had a few things against them and commanded them to repent.

Discover your new identity through these provisions of Jesus. THE HIDDEN MANNA. “To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna.” When God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, he provided manna in the wilderness for 40 years.

6:47-51) To most people this manna is hidden, but to those who know Christ it becomes the essential food for the soul (Matthew 4:1-4) A WHITE STONE. The white stone signifies the believer’s freedom in Christ. In ancient times, juries used a white stone for a not-guilty verdict and a black stone for guilty. Through repentance and faith in Christ, we are pardoned, forgiven, and declared not-guilty. “’Come now, let us reason together,’ says the Lord: ‘though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.’” (Isaiah 1:18; I John 1:9; Psalm 32:1-5) An athlete who won an event in the Olympics or Iberian games was given a white stone that gained the bearer free entrance to shops and events like banquets. Those who receive a white stone from Jesus are invited to heaven’s banquet called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. (Revelation 19:6-9) A NEW NAME. “I will give him a white

stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.” A new name signifies a new life and a new nature. Abram’s name was changed to Abraham – the father of many nations. Jacob’s name was changed from Jacob (cheat, supplanter) to Israel, prince with G o d . Pe t e r’s w a s changed from Cephas to Peter, a rock. We who receive the white stone of pardon, receive a new identity. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (II Corinthians 5:17) When you get to heaven God has a special name for you. What do you think yours might be? Today begin to live with a new identity in Christ. (Romans 8:15, 37) Live your life under the lordship of Christ. “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area

by Samantha Weaver • It was 19th-century Dutch post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh — one of the most popular artists of all time — who made the following sage observation: "Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates, though one often perceives irregularities when directing one's course by it, one must still try to follow its direction."

• Those who study such things say that penguins are so well insulated that, in general, they have a harder time staying cool than they do staying warm. • You've probably never wondered how to categorize the dill pickle, but some people have. Is it a fruit? Hard to say. The cucumber is, technically, a fruit — part of the gourd family — so it would seem that a pickle is, too.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans. You could find a good reason to make a change at this time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Just when you thought you had everything planned to the smallest detail, you get some news that could unsettle things. But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due. Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder. You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to

• You've almost certainly heard of the Rock of Gibraltar — as a metaphor for strength and solidity, if for no other reason. This famed monolith of limestone on the European side of the Strait of Gibraltar, that narrow connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, makes up only half of the Pillars of Hercules. On the African side of the strait is Jabal Musa, and this southern half of the Pillars is twice as tall as its more famous partner to the north. • Many people don't realize that the popular

handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down.

name Renee means "reborn." • The state of Delaware was named for Delaware Bay, which in turn was named for the first English governor of the colony of Virginia. His name was Thomas West, but his title was Baron De la Warr. Ultimately, his title is derived from the Old French term "de la werre," which means "of the war." *** Thought for the Day: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. — Mark Twain © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
