Unconquered and Undefeated If you ever have the opportunity to visit a newspaper office, you will immediately notice the decorations, particularly in the meeting rooms and lobbies of the newspapers who have been around awhile (and have managed to stick around). If they own their own presses, you will see thin sheets of tin called "plates" hanging on the walls. In other cases, you will find reprints of front pages that span the decades, featuring prominent moments in time. In almost every case, you are certain to find front pages, declaring in large, bold type any number (or all) of the following: the sinking of the Lusitania, the sinking of the Titanic, the assassination of JFK, the resignation of Nixon and the Challenger disaster. On occasion, you may come across a "V-J Day" or the moon landing, but those would be rare finds.

Just about the only place you will find moments of archival triumph enshrined instead of tragedy is at the sports desk. There, you will find pictures of local athletes and teams with their hands held high in victory, trophies aloft, flags raised, ticker tape and confetti streaming down. But imagine, if you will, driving to your local market one day and running over an improvised explosive device (IED) that kills all your passengers in the fiery aftermath, leaves you unconscious, flesh burning away. You awaken three months later from a coma to learn that 80 percent of your body suffered thirddegree burns, lungs injured from inhaling toxic smoke. You have lost fingers from both hands and the nerves in your right foot have been sheared away. After enduring more than 120 surgeries and skin grafts, would your first inclination be to return to the market? Well, that's precisely what Air Force Master Sgt. Israel
Del Toro, Jr. did ... only in his case, he went back to the frontline of a war. On Sunday, May 8, he stood atop a podium in Orlando, Florida, and delivered the keynote speech for the Invictus Games not only as a hero, but as an athlete. 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," Latin 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. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

REGIONAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION #13 TEACHER LICENSURE RENEWAL As the school year draws to a close, it’s a great time for educators to check the renewal dates for their Educator License. Licenses that expire this year need to be renewed and registered by June 30, 2016 or risk having the license lapse. A ny o n e h o l d i n g a Professional Educator License (PEL), Educator License with Stipulations (ELS), and Substitute License can check his or her licensure account information in the ISBE’s licensure system, known as ELIS. The entire process is conducted online.Even though a license may not expire until June, educators can renew now. The ELIS renewal and registration portal opened April 1 for this year’s process. Renewing and registering a license is a twostep process to first, verify and document that the individual has met the required professional development hours based on the kind of license and endorsements that a person has; and second, to register and pay the required fee in the appropriate county where the educator works. If the educator is not working, he or she will register in the region in which he or she lives. Professional development activities that are required for working educators should be entered into the ELIS system. The requirements for professional development vary based on the position and license held. Administrators w i l l h ave on ly t he i r
Administrator Academies entered for them by the professional development provider. Once professional development requirements have been met, a licensee can renew their license, and then register their license by paying their fees. The fee to register the license is $10 per year of the cycle. Each renewal is a fiveyear cycle, totaling $50. Any license that has not been renewed (by entering and submitting the required amount of professional development) lapses on September
1. A penalty of $500 or nine college credit hours will be assessed if the license lapses. Completing, entering, and submitting the required professional development with the penalty fee or credit hours can reinstate it. Any license that has not been registered once it is renewed (by paying required registration fees) lapses on January 1. Again, it can be reinstated by paying the back registration fees, plus a penalty of either $500 or nine college credit hours. If you retire, or are retiring
at the time of your license renewal, there are no fees to be paid to register for your next 5-year cycle. It is free for retirees. An Educator Licenses with S t i p u l a t i o n s (Paraprofessional) is the only license with a different penalty fee of $150 or nine college credit hours. If the renewing and registration process has been completed correctly, a new expiration and “registered thru” date will show in the individual’s educator account online.

By Larry Cox Cocktail Dress Q: I have a cocktail dress from about 1980 that was designed by Oscar De La Renta. It is floor-length with a white bodice and diagonal rows of beads and rhinestones. The skirt is black silk with a front bow. Is it worth taking up room in my closet? — Sarah, San Francisco A: Most designer clothes have increased in value in recent years. The 1980s are suddenly very hot, so my answer is yes. I checked with several vintage clothing dealers, and they seem to agree that in good condition, your cocktail dress might sell in the $500-$750 range. *** Q: A number of weeks ago, I sent you a three-page list of antiques and collectibles I asked you to appraise. I even enclosed a SASE for your convenience. I have not received an answer. What's up? — Bill, Sun City,
Arizona A: I don't appraise items for either garage or estate sales. Even though I was in the antique business for more than 30 years, I am not an appraiser nor do I pretend to be. When I publish a value in this column, I attribute it either to a price guide or expert. I also limit myself to answering one question per reader. If you send me an inventory of your house — even with a SASE — it is a waste of both your time and money. With a computer you can check current values on eBay. I find that extremely helpful when determining current values. Put another way, there are no free lunches or 5 cent cigars. If you feel you have something valuable, hire the services of a good professional appraiser. For general information, which I hope is helpful, I am your man. ***
Q: I have a Coca-Cola tray from the 1920s featuring a couple playing golf. Do I have a valuable item? — Dorothy, Ladue, Missouri A: Yes, if it is authentic. Coca-Cola collectors must be aware that many of the old beverage trays have been reproduced, and some even aged to look much older than they actually are. If your tray is the real deal, it was issued in 1926 and is valued in the $500-$750 range, depending on condition. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

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 h av e a w on d e r f u l 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 this pagan temple. 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. (Revelation 2:10) To those who live an overcoming life, Jesus promised these marvelous blessings and, conversely, these gifts enable us to live an overcoming life and become a victorious warrior. 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. (Exodus 16) It was a type of Jesus who identified himself as the Bread of Life. (John 6:47-51) To most people this manna is hidden, but to those who know Christ it becomes the essential fo o d for t he s ou l (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 notguilty. “’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 God. Peter’s was 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

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.

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

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.

WARNING SIGNS OF CHILDHOOD VISION TROUBLES Adults know when they are beginning to experience trouble with their vision. In such instances, men and women will book appointments with their eye doctors to determine what’s causing their problems. But whether it’s a fear or eyeglasses or simply feeling their symptoms are normal, kids might be hesitant to tell their parents about any vision problems they’re having. As a result, parents must learn to recognize certain warning signs that indicate their children are experiencing vision problems. Vision problems in youngsters can be especially problematic, as many of the lessons kids learn in school still begin on a chalkboard. The following are some potential indicators that kids might be dealing with vision problems that require medical attention. • Reading habits: Vision problems may be most noticeable when kids are
reading. As youngsters learn to read, they might use their fingers to keep their place while they figure out the pronunciation of certain words. But kids eventually grow out of that habit. Kids who are still doing so long after they have learned to read may be having trouble seeing words on the page. In addition, kids who pull their reading materials very close to their eyes may be struggling to see the words. • Viewing habits: Peculiar viewing habits may also be indicative of poor vision. Kids who sit too close to the television may be struggling to see what’s on as opposed to just being overexcited to see their favorite shows. Kids who prefer to watch programs on tablets they can hold as opposed to televisions may also make that choice because it’s easier for them to see on their tablets than on the television. In such instances, ask why they prefer tablets to television. When kids watch
TV, ask them to move further away from the television. If they complain moving back makes it hard to see, book an appointment with an eye doctor. • Eye rubbing: Many kids, and even adults, rub their eyes when they are feeling fatigued. But kids who seem to rub their eyes frequently and at times of the day when they should not be tired may be experiencing vision troubles and feeling frustrated that they cannot see very well. • Eye activity: Some kids begin to close one eye when reading, watching television or attempting to read signs. That may be indicative of a refractive vision disorder, in which the eye struggles to focus, or refract, light correctly on the retina. Such problems can often be corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses, but some refractive disorders may require surgery. • Squinting: Kids who squint a lot may be finding it

difficult to focus on words on a chalkboard or even television programs. Squinting may also be brought on by a corneal abrasion. Parents who notice their youngsters are squinting should consult the
child’s eye doctor to determine the cause of the problem. Vision problems can be especially harmful to children, who rely on their vision to perform their schoolwork.
Parents who learn to recognize the various warning signs of vision troubles can nip problems in the bud before they have too great an impact on youngsters.

Belly fat is often considered more of a cosmetic issue than a health issue. But few outside of the medical or fitness communities may know that belly fat is not only unsightly but unhealthy as well. Excessive belly fat can increase a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and even certain cancers, including breast cancer and colon cancer. So while many people may want to reduce their belly fat for cosmetic purposes, they can also use improving their overall health as a motivating factor when attempting to trim their waistlines. The following are a few healthy ways to reduce belly fat. • Adopt a healthy diet. Belly fat is often the first victim when men and women adopt a healthy diet and begin to lose weight.

School of Medicine, found that people who ate 10 grams of soluble fiber per day but made no other changes to their diet built up less fat over time than others. In addition to fiber, you should include fruits, vegetables and lean proteins in your diet. These foods will help you feel more full, which will curb your hunger and, as a result, reduce your caloric intake. • Get some rest. A good night's sleep, which is at least seven hours of sleep each night, has been shown to reduce fat over an extended period of time. Though the exact relationship between sleep and belly fat is unknown, a lack of sleep can force men and women to look to sugary beverages or snacks to provide a boost during the day. Such drinks and snacks can cause weight gain, especially among those people who routinely fail to get a good night's sleep. • Get off the couch and
exercise. Exercise is another effective way to reduce belly fat. Numerous studies have shown the positive effect that daily, vigorous exercise can have on overall health. For example, a study conducted by researchers at Duke University found that 30 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise, which includes jogging or working out on a cardiovascular machine, such as an elliptical or a treadmill, four times
per week can reduce fat and slow down the buildup of fat over time. Those who want to reduce belly fat will likely need to emphasize vigorous exercise. While those hoping to prevent the buildup of belly fat should know that studies have shown, when coupled with a healthy diet, moderate activity, which includes anything that raises your heart rate, three times per week may be enough to slow down fat buildup.

EXERCISING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. When coupled with a healthy diet, exercise puts men and women on a path toward optimal health while reducing risk for a host of ailments, some of which can be deadly. But many people find they simply don't have the time to exercise regularly. Commitments to career and family can be demanding and time-consuming, and exercise is often a casualty of a hectic schedule. Though getting to the gym every day or even making use of exercise equipment at home on a daily basis may not be feasible, that doesn't mean people still can't find ways to incorporate a little exercise into their daily routines. The following are a few simple ways to fit more exercise into your day no matter how busy you may be. • Avoid the elevator, and attack the stairs. The elevator may be inviting, but it's also somewhat of an enabler. Instead of taking the elevator up to your office each day, take the stairs, and take them with more gusto than you're used to. Rather than taking one step at a time, take the stairs two by two, lifting your legs high as you scale each pair of steps. This helps build your leg muscles and makes the daily climb up the staircase
a little more strenuous. • Turn TV time into treadmill time. Watching a little television at night is how many people relax and unwind, but it can be a great time to squeeze in some daily exercise as well. Opinions as to what's the best time of day to exercise vary, and no definitive study exists to suggest one time of day is better than another. People who like to relax with a little television time at night should make the most of that time by hitting the treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike instead of just plopping down on the couch. Add a television to your home's exercise room or purchase a gym membership where the cardiovascular machines are connected to televisions. You will still get to enjoy your favorite shows while simultaneously getting the benefit of exercise. • Say "bon voyage" to the conference room. Professionals who spend lots of time in meetings can add a simple twist that incorporates exercise into a typical business meeting. Rather than conducting the meeting in a conference room, propose a walking meeting when possible. A walking meeting is the same as a standard business meeting, but it's conducted on foot outside of the office. Walking meetings can

needs, and it must be safe for them. If you live in a climate that is not native to your turtle’s species, you’ll need to have an indoor and an outdoor enclosure. The indoor one should have the most ideal climate possible for your turtle, with steady temperature and proper humidity, a couple of places in which to hide, and a sunny corner (or a heat lamp) where she can go to warm up if necessary. An outdoor enclosure gives your turtle a place to roam on warm, sunny days. It can and should be bigger than Darlene’s indoor enclosure, but ideally should be covered with mesh or wire to prevent predators from getting in. You’ll also need to build walls around the enclosure so Darlene can’t see out. It should have some nice flat rocks to climb up on, a shallow pool of water

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.
