Tim Duncan was the best power forward I've ever seen, and I've been watching since his days at Wake Forest. I know I'm not the only Maryland Terrapin who remembers standing outside Cole Field House in freezing cold weather for hours, just to make sure we got great seats to watch a Wake Forest team with the best big man in the ACC. We were surprised he stayed at Wake Forest for four years — he would have been a first round pick any year — and it didn't take a genius to figure he'd play well in the NBA. It's safe to say that he exceeded expectations. He's played for only one team, for one coach. He was the only person to win a championship i n t h re e d i f fe re nt decades. College player of the year, rookie of the year, All-Star MVP, regular season MVP (three times) and NBA Finals MVP (twice).

tour, no victory lap. He isn't even going to attend the press conference regarding his retirement. That is an instant classic. Contrast the way he left the game and the way Kobe Bryant left. The Lakers were a joke last season, but Kobe scored 60 in his final game and made sure everyone knew just how proud he was of himself. Not D unc an. "The Big Fundamental" was trying to win another championship. He didn't have a clothing collection; there were no collectors' item shoes, no commercials of him driving a Buick. None of that. You know what else there was none of? No tirades about being late for practice, no holding out for an outrageous raise, no temper tantrums if he wasn't the guy chosen to take the last-second shot. I scoured the Interwebs, looking for a story about how Tim Duncan once saved somebody's life ... and found nothing of the sort. When you look at a guy like Tim Duncan, you say to yourself, "They just don't make players like that anymore." They really don't. He was one of a kind.

Only Michael Jordan and Larry Bird can say they did something like that. Only Kareem AbdulJabbar and Robert Parish have won more games. He and Kareem AbdulJabaar are the only players in NBA history with 26,000 points, 15,000 rebounds and 3,000 blocks Fifteen times, he was an all-star. Every one of his seasons ended with the San Antonio Spurs going to the playoffs. Five times, his team took the crown — including one time from the King himself, the year that San Antonio avenged their loss in the previous year, picking themselves up and beating Miami. With the exception of the lockout season, the Spurs won more than 50 games each season. There are 20-year-old Knicks fans vomiting tears when they hear that. He was 42 ... of course we knew that he was Mark Vasto is a veteran going to retire. But look at the way he did. He sportswriter who lives in simply said nothing.

speakOUT letters to the editor

Dear Editor, Everyone liked her speech until someone in the Clinton staff dug up Mrs. Obama's speech during the 2008 election primary. The left has made a big issue out of Melania's speech where there are two paragraphs that are real close to being the same as Mrs. Obama's speech. The fact that Melania was speaking from the heart was lost by the attack from the left. Now let me bring something to the attention of the readership. Melania came to America in 2001 and worked hard and became a citizen in 2006. In Melania's speech she mentioned how proud she was to become an American. Mrs. Obama was born in 1964 and experienced a life described as above the normal. Mr. Obama became President in January 2009. At that time, at age 45, she said that this is the first time I'm proud to be an American. Let's be honest, I'm a conservative Christian. I question everything I see and hear. This includes my parents, my

preacher, my children, commercials on TV, my friends and all political people. I was against Obama in 2007 and have never apologized since I was not wrong. I chose Trump and Kasich in March and have not changed my choice. Why Trump? I started working for money when I was 6 years old. I carried coal for the stove to warm the house. I moved on to mowing lawns, setting pins in a bowling alley, bagging groceries in stores, and working my way through college. I graduated debt free. I worked in industry from my sophomore year in college until I was 66. My life's beliefs mirror Trump's presentation to the public, especially political correctness. He has worked and made life better all of his life and will work magic on America's economy and our country's position in the world.

LOCAL AUTHOR RECOGNIZED Ruth Ann Friend of Centralia, Illinois has recently been notified by Ke v i n J. To d e s c h i , Executive Director & CEO of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E./Atlantic University that she has been extended an invitation to have her two books added to the Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. (Association of Research and Enlightenment) L i br a r y l o c at e d i n Virginia Beach, Virginia. Her books will be available for reading by the public, visitors, and members of A.R.E. all over the world. Her books Under The Rainbow Crossing and The Story of David are available at Amazon Books, Barnes & Nobel, and other websites. Both books can be purchased in e-books and paperback from. A third book is scheduled to be out by the end of this year. Her web site is Universal Conversations.com. Ruth Ann Friend attended this year's 25th Anniversary of the UFO Congress Conference and Film Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, doing book signings with her two books, Under the Rainbow Crossing and The Story of David, which are based on true paranormal events and miracles her son and she experienced throughout his life. While there, Friend met Keith Arem, a movie and audio producer who was promoting his latest new movie, The Phoenix Incident. Keith immediately took interest in her work as an author and her books, as he studied her UFO film and paranormal pictures.

Submitted Photo

Pictured above are Valerie Arem; Ruth Ann Friend; and Keith Arem, movie producer, director, and audio producer of some of the most popular computer games played today.

After examining these and the UFO video footage she has filmed, he asked to interview her to do a short documentary, which they did. He said he was amazed and that he had never seen anything like this, "because of her life being such a rare blend of living between worlds, and especially with having the proof." Arem expressed he "wanted to help her in any way he could, to help get the information she has out to others; people need to know there are other life forms and beings existing in our universe." Arem's latest movie revolves around a true incident which happened on March 13, 1997 in Phoenix, AZ. Thousands of people were gathered in Phoenix that evening while looking for the Comet Hale-Bopp, but instead, many witnesses captured a mile-wide V-shaped formation of lights moving silently and slowly over their heads while looking for the comet.

Arem's first interest in this event was to produce a movie of what really had happened with the original story, combined with his version of what could happen in the future. On the last evening of his film festival, Friend was among those invited to be a guest at his private showing of the movie. His company PCB is a Content Creation Company for Interactive Film, Television, and Digital, founded by Keith, who is very well known for his popular movies and games. Familiar game titles and series are Tour of Duty, Line of Duty, Official Call of Duty, Modern Welfare, Saints Row, The Amazing Spider, and many more. Arem said he was soon to release more new games, with one being a special kind where a player can move the objects in it with only their thoughts. Besides meeting Keith Arem, a movie crew from France also filmed Ruth Ann's pictures and her UFO film, and they also interviewed her.

Cooking With Lizzie

Favorite Pies (Part 1)

The old folk song goes, "Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy?" It carried an inevitable rural sentiment closer to the truth than most people think. Years ago at church suppers, farm sales, country fairs and ladies aid societies, the all American pie was the standard by which judgements were made. My grandma and mom were well known for their pie making skills. And trust, in Southern Illinois, there were many farm families that had a pie in the oven nearly every day. Some of my favorite old recipes are below. I will share a few more next week.

Basic Pie Crust 3 cups flour, unsifted 1 tsp. salt 1 cup lard or sweet butter

1 egg, beaten 1 T. cider vinegar 4 to 5 T. ice water

Measure flour and salt into mixing bowl. With pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut lard into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal with lumps the size of small peas. Dough can be done ahead to this point. Refrigerate in airtight container. With table fork, mix egg, vinegar and 3 T. water together. Make well in flour mixture and pour in liquid. Pull liquid through flour, bit by bit, adding water by tablespoonfuls until mixture forms ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill at least 1/2 hour. To process dough in food processor, use chopping blade, keep lard very cold, and process 4 or 5 pulses, or until mixture of flour, salt, and lard resembles coarse meal. Turn into mixing bowl and add liquids by hand. To roll, divide dough into quarters. Place 1/4 of dough on floured pastry cloth or board. Flatten ball with hand or rolling pin. Roll from center out, lifting rolling pin up as you move toward edge. Rotate dough as you work to keep thickness even. Roll into circle large enough for pie pan, leaving 1/2" to 1" extra. Fold circle in half or quarters to pick up, then unfold dough as you fit it into pan. (Or reroll pastry back onto rolling pin, holding thumb on end of pin to keep it from unrolling while moving pastry to pie pan, then unroll directly over pan and proceed.) For single-crust pie, with scissors, trim off excess dough; roll or tuck overhanging dough under crust on lip-edge of pie pan. Crimp in decorative manner. Proceed according to recipe. To bake, prick bottom of crust with fork in several places. Line crust with aluminum foil and weight with beans. Freeze whole affair for 1/2 hour. Can be done ahead, sealed in plastic bag, and kept frozen 1 to 2 weeks. Bake in preheated 425° oven 8 minutes. Remove beans and foil; continue to bake 5 to 6 minutes longer, or until crust is baked with even brown color. Cool on rack. Reserve. Fill according to recipe. Makes enough for two 9" double crust pies or one 10" double crust pie plus one 9-10" single crust pie. For double-crust pie With knife or scissors, trim off overhanging dough from bottom crust. Fill with fruit according to recipe. Roll out another quarter of dough for top crust in manner described in recipe. With knife, cut decorative design in dough to vent out steam. Wet two fingers with cold water "glue" and dampen top of crust on lip-edge of pan. Carefully lay top crust over filled crust. Trim off excess dough, leaving approximately 1/2" overhang. Tuck overhanging dough under dampened crust on lip-edge of pan; crimp with your fingers in decorative manner. Bake according to recipe.

Pinch salt (opt.) 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, freshly grated

Pre-bake pie crust at 425° for 5 minutes, or until crust looks dry in a few places, not shiny; reserve. In saucepan or microwave, scald milk until it forms crust on top; set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry; set aside. In mixing bowl, gradually add sugar to egg yolks, beating constantly; mix well. Add salt, if desired. Whisk in hot milk and vanilla; continue to whisk until well combined. Fold in beaten whites until only small bits are visible. Sprinkle nutmeg on partially cooked crust; pour custard into crust. Bake in 425° oven 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; continue to bake 20 minutes, or until table knife inserted 1" from side comes out clean. Cool on rack. Serve warm or cold. Makes one 9" pie. *** 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.

Last week's column focus w a s t he R e publ i c an National Convention (RNC), this week it's the Democratic National Convention (DNC). What a difference. Yet that depends on who you listen to or believe. If you listen to the liberal media — CNN, MSNBC, ABC and NBC, etc. — coverage, the less than fair and balanced networks, "the spin machines" said the DNC Convention was wonderful, and what you heard of the coverage was positive and enthusiastic and the RNC Convention was negative! In my opinion, in watching both conventions and in listening to the wrap ups, it was just the opposite. Below is what I saw and heard: Starting with the first night, the evening speeches were given with not one American flag present. But fear not, I saw at least one Palestinian flag in the audience. At the same time there were reports of protesters spitting on and burning the American flag outside. Other highlights included retired General John Allen. While he spoke endorsing Hillary Clinton, DNC participants heckled him in anti war protests. That happened and the liberal media tried to sweep it under the rug. Of course, let's not forget the woman who spoke on abortion, and the parading of the child that belonged to illegal immigrants. Another one of the DNC highlights was the appearance of Michael Brown's m o t h e r. R e m e m b e r

Michael Brown? A real upstanding citizen! To glorify this individual was a slap in the face to real heroes, our men and women in blue. But pushing ahead, let's not forget the other highlights, like the speech by Billy Clinton on the romantic courtship and marriage of Hillary and himself. (In my opinion, they are partners in crime.) Seriously, Bill Clinton used the White House as a romper room for his sexual escapades, but Hillary stood by her man. And of course, let's not forget, the endorsement of Barack Obama for Hillary Clinton was one of the top highlights. At least according to what I saw of him, during his speech he mentioned himself well over 100 times, and in the end alluded to voting for Hillary to keep his do-nothing last term going. And trust, she will if elected. Of course, there was no mention of Benghazi and the lies she told the families of the victims. The last emails that disappeared — that probably put our national security at risk, among the other corruption and lies that Bill and Hillary have been wrapped in for 25 plus years — never came up. It was a four day event full of attacks on Donald Trump because that's all they have. They certainly can't go on their record, either one of them. But let's face it, conventions are all about showmanship. But in my opinion, there was no comparison between the DNC and RCN conventions. And by far the RNC Convention was above

board, patriotic and full of worthwhile speakers, and yes, there were some things I disagreed with. Not so the DNC, which I found unpatriotic, deceitful, dishonest and certainly un-Christian. In most cases it reached the bottom of the barrel, with a few exceptions like Mr. and Mrs. Kahn who lost their brave son. But to top the whole four day event off, it was reported that right after the convention was over Wall Street Hedge Fund donors met with the Hillar y Clinton Camp, and at this point they have donated $48.5 million to her campaign, compared to Donald Trump's $19,000. You want to tell me again who's in the back pocket of Wall Street! And no, the liberal media won't give you that. Hillary said they were following the money, and trust, they are. There is a big difference in the two candidates. Donald Tr ump do es Donald Trump, and Hillary Clinton does and says anything for a vote. In the meantime, take time to go see Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. It's a documentary that would even keep Bill Clinton awake. Until next week.

BALLOON FEST 2016 MAJOR SPONSORS Every year the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce and the volunteer Balloon Fest Committee members work hard to bring Balloon Fest to our community, but they can’t do it alone. Along with all the hard work that comes with organizing an event of this size, someone has to step up to the plate and donate products, services, and money to support it. Some donors sponsor balloons, balloon pilots, or specific activities; some make small monetary donations; others make very large donations. It all adds up, but the sponsors are critical to the success of the event. Pictured here are some of the major sponsors of Balloon Fest 2016. Be sure to thank them for their contribution to this year’s edition of the annual fun-filled family-oriented festival we know as Balloon Fest.

From the moment she was born I promised to love her, to protect her from all the monster under her bed, and to support her and all her dreams. From the moment she was I promised that I would always provide for her, no matter what.

That’s why I bought Life Insurance, because from the moment I held her I wanted to secure her future in case I couldn’t always be there for her. Because it’s not about my life, it’s about hers.

Bridling Your Tongue The old west owes much to the horses and the cowboys who rode them. Before the west was tamed, man learned how to tame and use the horses. What enabled them to have so much control over a horse which outweighed them by hundreds of pounds? They learned how to use the bridle and bit to direct the horse. The Word of God has much to say about the tongue. Your tongue is a barometer of true religion. “If any man among you seems to be religious and bridles not his tongue but deceives his own heart this man’s religion is vain.” (James 1:25) James also says, “For in many things we offend all. If any man offends not in word, the same is a perfect man and able to bridle the whole body.” (James 3:2) Just as we can

control a powerful horse with a bridle and bit so we must control our tongue. As a large ship can be controlled by a small rudder so our tongue can give direction to our life or crash us on the rocks. “Behold we put bits in horse’s mouths that they may obey us and we turn about their whole body” (James 3:3-4) Consider how much damage the tongue can do. “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasted great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindled and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity so is the tongue amongst our members . . . sets on fire the course of nature and is set on fire of hell.” (James 3:5-6) Sometimes I suffer from hoof and mouth disease. I put my foot in my mouth. I speak without thinking. When I was a kid we used to give a retort to

those who would taunt us. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!” I don’t know where we learned that refrain, but I soon learned that it was not true. Words can be very piercing and damaging. Over the years my tongue got me into more trouble than anything else. But God has also graciously taught me that my tongue under His control can do a world of good. James says, “But the tongue can no man tame. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” (James 3:8) While it is true no man can fully control the tongue — God can, if you surrender it to Him. As horses must be controlled by bridles and bits, so we need control over our tongue. Consider the following acronym that will help us have control over our tongue. C – Christ’s control over your life will give you power over all areas of your life. The cross is the answer. When the Israelites encountered bitter, poisonous water, Moses threw a tree into the waters and they became sweet. The tree symbolizes Jesus’ cross. His blood cleanses us from all sins. (I John 2:7) H – Heart. It is an issue of

the heart. Many speak in bitterness and hate because their heart is full of it. (James 3:9-12) We need a heart change. Receiving Christ’s forgiveness and giving forgiveness will change your heart. (I John 1:9) R – Righteous fruit will flow from your tongue when you are master controlled. The fruit of the Spirit will be wholesome and winsome. (James 3:15-18; Galatians 5:22) I – Instruction in godly wisdom will help you know when and what to say. (James 3:13-17) S – Sanctification by the Spirit will cleanse your tongue. Isaiah’s tongue was touched by a fiery coal from God. (Isaiah 6:1-8; Acts 2:3; 13:9-10) Is your tongue sanctified? T – Talk of positive things. Talk of faith and purity. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” (Proverbs 18:21; Philippians 4:4-9) Talk about Jesus – your testimony is part of your victory. (Revelation 12:11) Bridles and bits can control a horse, but only Christ can bring control over your tongue. Are you Master controlled?

HOMETOWN PROUD

BOROWIAK’S IGA • On Aug. 2, 1776, members of Congress sign an enlarged copy of the Declaration of Independence. Fifty-six delegates signed the document, going by state from north to south, beginning with New Hampshire and ending with Georgia. • On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington creates the "Badge for Military Merit," a purple silk decoration to be presented to soldiers for meritorious action. In 1932, the U.S. War Department announced the creation of the Purple Heart. • On Aug. 5, 1914, the world's first electric traffic signal is put into place in Cleveland. Four pairs of red and green lights, each mounted on a corner post, served as stop-go indicators. • On Aug. 6, 1928, renowned pop artist Andy Warhol is born in Pittsburgh. He took literally the advice of an art teacher who said he should paint the things he liked. Warhol liked ordinary

things, such as canned soup and soft drinks, and so he painted them. • On Aug. 4, 1944, the Nazi Gestapo captures 15-year-old Jewish diarist Anne Frank and her family in a sealed-off area of an Amsterdam warehouse. The Franks had taken shelter there in 1942 out of fear of deportation to a Nazi concentration camp and were aided by Christian friends. • On Aug. 1, 1966, Charles Whitman goes on a shooting spree at the University of Texas, killing 14 people and wounding 31 from atop a 300foot tower. He had told his doctor that he was thinking about shooting people from the tower with a rifle, but the doctor never followed up. • On Aug. 3, 1977, "The Spy Who Loved Me," starring Roger Moore as James Bond, is released in theaters. The film features one of the most memorable Bond cars ever — a sleek Lotus Esprit that does double duty as a submarine. Š 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

CAN HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE CHEAT AGING? Hu m an g row t h hormone performs a number of biological functions and is in abundance when children and adolescents are growing. But HGH has recently become a coveted cosmetic supplement designed to improve metabolism, fend off weight gain and restore the vigor of youth. The offlabel use of HGH has resulted in a multi-bil-

lion dollar industry but not without significant controversy. HGH, also known as somatotropin or somatropin, is a natural substance excreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. It stimulates growth and cell reproduction and regeneration. As a person ages, his or her HGH levels decrease. In certain instances, doctors will pre-

scribe HGH to treat children’s growth disorders or deficiencies in adults. However, some patients seek it for improved vitality or as an a n a b o l i c a g e nt t o improve athletic performance. Many people view HGH as the fountain of youth because it can help diminish wrinkles and the physical signs of aging while improving

energy levels and helping fight depression. But while HGH has its upside, there is still much to be learned about this complicated hormone. Several small clinical studies have looked at HGH in the injectable form. Many tout the efficacy of the hormone in growing muscles and bone, improving skin, ramping up sexual drive, and helping with weight loss. According to Stuart Weinerman, M.D., Division of Endocrinology at North Shore/Long Island Jewish Hospital, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Hofstra/ North Shore LIJ School of Medicine, the largest review of trials with HGH demonstrate that long-term use of growth hormone caused an average 2.3 kilogram (about 5 lbs) loss of weight, 2.6 kg (5.6 lbs)

loss of fat, 1.4 kg (3 lbs) increase in lean body mass and no consistent change in bone density. Patients using HGH tend to feel better, too, as seen in quality of life scores. But these benefits often come at a cost. One significant disadvantage of HGH injections is that they are very expensive. Over the course of a year, men and women receiving HGH injections can expect to pay thousands of dollars for those injections, particularly if they are not covered by insurance. Injections also can only be given by a licensed medical practitioner, requiring multiple trips to the doctor during the course of therapy. Another pitfall of injectable HGH is that it is an artificial source of the hormone. When the body becomes accus-

tomed to receiving HGH from an external source, the pituitary gland may decrease the natural production of HGH. Should a person cease therapy, he or she may find that they are now deficient in the hormone. The Mayo Clinic says that HGH isn’t the magical answer for staving off aging. The organization warns that there is little evidence that taking HGH supplements provides any measurable benefit for healthy individuals and it may actually result in side effects that are unhealthy. These can include carpal tunnel syndrome, swelling in the arms and legs, joint pain, muscle pain, and enlargement of breast tissue in men. HGH also may contribute to conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE: RECOGNIZE EARLY ONSET SYMPTOMS Parkinson’s disease is a neurological movement disorder. Classic motor symptoms, such as tremor, rigidity and extreme slowness of movements and reflexes, called bradykinesia, are typically used to identif y Parkinson’s. However, identification of other, more subtle symptoms may help identify the disease years before more obvious motor conditions present themselves. Since Parkinson’s is a chronic and progressive neurological disease, symptoms are often mild at the onset, becoming more severe over time. Initial symptoms may be so subtle that they’re even difficult for specialists to detect, according to the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Symptoms also may be different for some patients than others and may progress at different paces. Dopamine loss is a major contributor to the onset of Parkinson’s disease. Dopamine controls movement and mood, so when dopamine is affected, walking, talking and writing can be impacted. Depression or anxiety may accompany other symptoms. The National Institutes of Health says Parkinson’s disease affects as many as

500,000 people in the United States. An early diagnosis may help improve quality of life and delay the onset of greater motor issues. Here’s what to look for and discuss with a doctor. • Micrographia and other handwriting issues occur. Those with Parkinson’s disease may start experiencing changes in their handwriting. Penmanship may look cramped, and letters tend to be smaller than normal (micrographia). Individuals may find it difficult to hold a pen and write. • Tremors take place in a limb. Tremors usually begin in the hands or fingers and may even mimic a pillrolling technique, which is a tremor between the thumb and forefinger. Tremors usually occur when the limb is at rest. • Pace or activities slow down. Parkinson’s disease may reduce one’s ability to move and may slow down movements. An early symptom may be a noticeable slowing down in steps or ability to react to something, like a ball being thrown one’s way. Some with Parkinson’s may drag their feet or shuffle as they walk or find it difficult to get out of a chair. • Loss of automatic movements and functions

can occur. Difficulty with unconscious movements, such as blinking, smiling or even swinging arms, may occur when a person has Parkinson’s disease. Movements may be uncoordinated and stiff. Increased salivation and perspiration also may be indicators. • Poor balance and loss of posture may develop. People with Parkinson’s disease may hunch over more and more and be unable to stand up straight. Balance issues, such as greater incidences of falls or being able to tip over more easily, may occur.

• Speech can change. Changes in speech can begin, including hesitating before speaking, slurring words or speaking in a monotone voice. • Others may notice a masked face. This describes a vacant or fixed stare and lack of facial animation. • Sleep issues may increase. Parkinson’s disease can affect sleeping patterns and behaviors.

Acid reflux is one of the more common, not to mention painful, side effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. The Florida Hospital estimates that more than 60 million adults in the United States suffer from symptoms of acid

reflux each month, and almost half experience symptoms every day. Finding relief can be challenging, but there are a variety of treatments available, including some drug-free alternatives. There is no cure for acid reflux, but there are ways to manage the condition and prevent permanent damage to the esophagus. Many people rely on proton-pump inhibitors, or PPIs, to keep acid reflux at bay. PPIs are one of the more commonly prescribed medications for acid reflux, and while they may be beneficial for shortterm treatment of acid reflux, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cautioned against prolonged use

Cancer affects millions of people across the globe each year. While those diagnosed with cancer face the biggest challenges, cancer patients’ friends and families also must deal with the consequences of a cancer diagnosis and the heartbreak that often accompanies seeing a loved one undergo cancer treatments. Strong support systems can help cancer patients during their treatments, but men and women need not wait until a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer to begin fighting the disease. Taking steps to prevent cancer may be easier when tackled together as a family or a group of friends. According the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the world’s leading centers devoted to cancer patient care, research, education and prevention, many foods can help men, women and children reduce their cancer risk. When shopping for household groceries, families and groups of friends living together can aim to make the following cancer-fighting foods part of their daily diets. Produce • Broccoli • Cauliflower • Brussel sprouts • Oranges

• Organic spinach • Organic kale or collard greens • Peas (fresh or frozen) • Red or purple grapes (preferably organic, if imported) • Tomatoes (no salt added if buying canned tomatoes) Protein • Lean chicken or turkey • Lean fish, including salmon, halibut, redfish or red snapper • Low-sodium black, red or pinto beans • Low-sodium garbanzo beans • Tofu Dairy • Eggs or egg substitutes • Low-fat cheese • Skim, or fat-free, milk Grains • Lentils • Regular or instant wild rice or brown rice • Whole grain pasta Bread • Whole grain bread, tortillas or buns Condiments • Canola oil • Low-fat or fat-free salad dressing • Olive oil Spices • Turmeric

POWER OF A POSITIVE ATTITUDE A balanced diet, exercise, genetics, and even certain medications can work in concert to make a person healthy. But a person’s demeanor also can factor into personal health. The Mayo Clinic says that whether or not a person is an optimist or a pessimist can affect many areas of his or her health and well-being, and those who see the glass as halffull may ultimately be healthier than those who see it as half-empty. Positive thinking can make it easier to manage stress. The body responds differently based on an individual’s mood, and it may produce stress hormones if a person’s outlook is negative. Such stress hormones can compromise the immune system, increase blood pressure and even reduce the body’s ability to burn fat effectively. Thinking negatively and being on edge also can increase a person’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease and aging prematurely. Conversely, maintaining a positive attitude can be good for your health. Studies have shown that thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy and provide greater resistance to certain illnesses, such as the common cold. A 2012 preliminary study from researchers at Stanford University found that daughters of mothers suffering from depression were able to witness their own stress levels go down

on a real-time brain scan as they switched from negative thoughts to happy ones. Researchers are unsure why positive thinking has such profound effects. But in addition to limiting stress-releasing hormones, positive thinking may inspire people to live healthier lifestyles that make them more likely to get routine physical activity and eat a healthy diet. Happy people also may be less likely to use tobacco products or alcohol as a coping mechanism when dealing with elevated stress levels, and such people will not have to deal with the side effects that can come with these unhealthy behaviors. Becoming a more positive thinker can take a little effort for those without a natural inclination for optimism. But because positive thinking boasts such significant health benefits, men and women might want to try the following methods to embrace their optimistic side. • Exercise. Start an exercise regimen, as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood. • Embrace humor. Surround yourself with others who bring a smile to your face. Look for ways to laugh as much as possible. Rather than go out to dinner or a bar with friends, head to a comedy club. Choose comedies at the movie theater and find humor in everyday happenings. • Identify areas that need

Laughter and positive thinking can be good for your health.

change. Think about moments in life that may bring you down or inspire negative reactions. If work is problematic, figure out ways to make it better and work toward improving the situation. • Be supportive of yourself. Consider what you would say to others and then treat yourself the same way. Would you be overly negative or derogatory toward a complete stranger? Probably not, and there is no reason to be harsh with yourself, either. Push negative thoughts away. • Volunteer. One way to see the world in a more positive light is to help others who may be less fortunate than you. Volunteering not only helps others, but it also can help you put your own problems in perspective. Volunteering also helps you feel good about your efforts, which can translate into positive thinking. • Think like a child. Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in the little things.

Picture-Perfect Pet DEAR P AW ’ S CORNER: Every time I go onto social media I see pictures and videos of adorable pets doing adorable things. This includes my friends’ pets. But I know from experience that not all of my friends’ dogs and cats are so cute and well-behaved. My worry is that people will see all these cute animals and think taking care of a pet is easy, when it really isn’t. I have two rescue animals, a cat and a dog. They both have health and behavioral issues. Forget about holding still for a picture!

What are your thoughts on this social-media trend? — Carol in Saginaw, Michigan DEAR CAROL: I’m honestly not sure that social-media images and videos necessarily give the impression that caring for a pet is easy. Perhaps a few years ago, when not everyone was on Facebook or Instagram, some may have thought owning a dog or cat was an easy task. People post videos and pictures of their families and their pets at their very best (or cutest or funniest) on social media because they’re proud of them. You don’t see a whole lot of videos of baby with an earache, or two ordinarily congenial dogs suddenly snapping at each other, or that day Sparky got worms.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area

by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century Japanese engineer and industrialist — and founder of the Honda Motor Company — Soichiro Honda who made the following sage observation: "If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A misunderstanding tests the temperament of the sometimes headstrong Aries. Instead of blowing your top, take time for a pleasant diversion while things cool down. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A workplace problem could make the divine Bovine see red. But talk it out before you consider walking out. Some surprising facts emerge that change your earlier focus. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You face a choice between ignoring your uneasy feelings about your relationship with that special person and demanding explanations. A close friend offers wise counsel. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change you’d been hoping for carries an unexpected complication. Stay the course, and things will work themselves out. Be sure to make time for family and friends. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Aspects favor spending time with loved ones. On the job, new ideas are generally welcomed. But some demands for changes could cause problems. Be ready to defend your choices. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: That workplace problem is close to being resolved with results that should please everyone. Take time off to indulge your love of fun and games. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Most of the time you are the most

unflappable person around. But be ready to be thrown off-balance in the nicest way when Cupid takes aim in your direction. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s not often when someone tries to “sting” the sharp-witted Scorpion. But it can happen. Continue to be skeptical about anything that seems too good to be true. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your strong sense of self-esteem helps you serve as a role model for someone who needs personal reassurances. Your efforts pay off in an unexpected way. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close considers revealing a painful secret. Withhold judgment. Instead, open your generous heart, and offer dollops of your love and understanding. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Your talents as a peacemaker are called upon once more as an old problem re-emerges with new complications. Move cautiously in order to avoid falling into hidden traps. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your artistic side is enhanced with the reception given to your new project. Use this success as encouragement toward fulfilling your larger goals. BORN THIS WEEK: Your natural sense of leadership is combined with a deep sense of. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

like." • Actress Shirley MacLaine claims that in a past life, she was a gypsy who had an affair with Roman Emperor Charlemagne. • Unless you live in a snowy mountain town, you've probably never heard of skijoring. In what is probably the most popular contemporary version of this sport, a skier is pulled by one or more dogs wearing a

harness that allows the dogs to be directed. The racecourse can be short, for sprints, or as long as 270 miles in cross-countr y competitions. Equestrian skijoring is rather more like waterskiing: A horse with a rider pulls a skier on a towline through a series of jumps and obstacles. Equestrian skijoring was a demonstration sport at t h e 1 9 2 8 Wi n t e r Olympics in Switzerland. • Those who study such things say that honey is the only food that doesn't spoil. So, next time you run across some 3,000-year-old honey, feel free to chow down.

• At a Mets game at Citi Field, a woman lost a gold tooth down a toilet, and she decided to re a c h i n af t e r it . Unfortunately for her, the restrooms there use a high-vacuum system, and she was pulled in up to her armpit. Unable to extricate herself, she had to spend several hours in this undignified position until a plumber could come to her aid. *** Thought for the Day: There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another." — Emma Goldman © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
