We Love Our Veterans!
I was eating a grilled octopus at Dimitri's in Philadelphia when I learned that the Eagles had traded Sam Bradford to the Vikings in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft. All I could do was take a deep breath, because I knew I had to pace myself. The news made a walk across the street to the New Wave, a legendary Philadelphia sports
bar, mandatory. I cannot honestly say whether or not Philadelphia has the best sports fans, but I can tell you that they come off like the perfect sports-fan stereotype you often see caricatured in sitcoms and film. In Philadelphia, the mere notion of a casual sports fan is abhorrent. You don't have to paint your face, but you must own at least one article of officially licensed clothing and you must get to the stadia off of I-95 at minimum once per year or you risk expulsion. To recap, tonight we learned that Sam
Wednesday, September 28, 2016
Bradford, a former top pick in the draft, was traded to Minnesota, elevating the Eagle's firstround pick from this year, Carson Wentz, to the helm. Wentz, billed as a "smart" mobile quarterback with a cannon arm, put up very impressive numbers at North Dakota State. The Eagles worked very hard to explain this rationale to their fans, and for the most part the strategy seemed to work as most Eagle fans condoned the pick. Well, at least they didn't boo. Bradford was never really beloved in Philadelphia. Fans appreciated his talent but really disdained his fragility (yeah, and that's how they talk at the New Wave ... "You know something? I really disdain Bradford's fragility ... wanna shoot some darts?"). The guy always got hurt. So what do the Eagles do? They elevate a guy that got his ribs cracked open after completing 12 passes and
missing three pre-season games to the starting position. He will be playing for rookie head coach Doug Pederson, a guy who brings great bonafides as a former Eagles QB and from his years of coaching the Kansas City Chiefs under former Eagle's head coach Andy Reid. For good measure, Pederson also brought along former Mizzou QB standout Chase Daniels to back Wentz up. If Pederson thought Missouri was the "Show Me" state, he has to know that Philadelphia brings that mentality to a completely new level. Vegas has them at 100-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, but they are loaded with talent, having signed Darren Sproles at running back and Rodney McLeod for their secondary. They have a great set of tight ends in Brent Celek and Zach Ertz. Still, even with Bradford, this season was considered to be a rebuilding year. What do they have now? A quick survey at the New Wave sets the tone. "All I can say is this, the Eagles just better win ... I'm not into this 'rebuilding' (expletive)," says a fan who hails from Pennsauken. "Let's see what this guy (Wentz) can do." That about sums it up. Looking for a great storyline (and great meal) to follow this season? On the whole, you'd rather be in Philadelphia.

Cooking With Lizzie
Down To Earth Soups
In the fall of the year, I head to the kitchen. Time spent there cooking became therapy for me years ago. It keeps my mind off the everyday woes of the world, keeping my hands busy. "Happy hands are busy hands." Who hasn't heard that favorite phrase! It keeps life simple for me. Cooking is far from complicated. In the fall and winter I love homemade soup, and when home I keep a pot simmering on the back burner of the stove. Served along with a slice of fresh homemade bread, there is nothing better and it brings you down to earth. I start with homemade chicken broth. I make it and freeze it for future flavoring for everything from chicken and noodles to homemade soups.
Homemade Chicken Broth
1 (4- 5 lb.) roasting chicken 2 medium onions, quartered 2 large carrots, halved 2 ribs celery, halved 1 green bell pepper, halved 1/2 cup fresh parsley sprigs
3
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
6 whole cloves 2 bay leaves 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. white pepper 3 -3½ quarts water
Place chicken, including neck and giblets (but not liver), in large stockpot. Add rest of ingredients. Water should cover chicken completely. Cover and bring to boil over high heat; then skim off froth as it forms on top. Reduce heat and simmer 2 hours. Remove chicken from pot, allow to cool a bit, then remove meat and skin, reserving meat for another use (soup salad, or sandwich filling). Return bones and skin to pot. Simmer broth, covered, 2 hours more. Strain broth through sieve into bowl, pressing vegetables and bones with rubber spatula to extract any liquid. Chill broth overnight in refrigerator and skim off fat. Freeze any stock that will not be used within 2 to 3 days in 1-quart containers. Makes 8 – 9 cups.

Magazine (NCM) Program is an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Girls gain life skills linked to leadership and financial literacy through hands-on experience with this program,” said Kelly Jansen, GSSI Director of Pro duct Program. “All of us at GSSI are excited to work with our girls and volunteers to have a successful Nut, C a n d y & Ma g a z i n e Program,” she added. “When you purchase nuts, candies or magazines from a Girl Scout, you will help her achieve her sales goals and learn valuable business skills,” Jansen added. The Girl Scout Nut, C a n d y & Ma g a z i n e Program generates immeasurable results for girls and their communities. Girls
who participate in the 2016 Fall Product Program benefit from “learning by earning” and develop five valuable life skills — goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. In addition, proceeds from the program help Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) recruit and train adult volunteers, provide financial assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls, improve and maintain camp properties and develop and deliver unique leadership program activities for girls. During the Nut, Candy & Magazine Program, girls will sell items such as Whole Cashews, Deluxe Pecan Clusters, Fruit Slices and English Butter Toffee. One item, Mint Treasures,
will be sold in a special limited Girl Scout collectible tin. New this year is a one-pound container of Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts. In addition, hundreds of magazines will be available through QSP for those wishing to purchase a new subscription or renew an existing one. For more information about the items girls will be selling during the Nut, Candy & Magazine Program, please visit GSSI’s website at www.gsofsi.org. The Girl Scout Mission is that Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Today’s Girl Scouts not only enjoy camping and crafts, but they also explore math and science and learn about diversity, good citizenship, leadership and teamwork.
Girl Scouting is the place where girls experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois serves approximately 13,000 girls and over 4,500 adult volunteers in more than 40 counties in southern Illinois. Girl Scouting has inspired more than 50 million girls and women since its founding in 1912. Girl Scouting is focused on providing a premier Girl Scout Leadership Experience for girls in the 21st century, while ensuring the traditions and values that have been core to Girl Scouting since its beginning remain strong and relevant. GSSI is a Proud Partner of United Way. Also check them out at www.gsofsi.org or friend them on Facebook.

• SALARY & COMMISSION • PAID VACATION AND SICK DAYS Forgive my senior moment in last week's column. I said the first of the three presidential debates was Tuesday, September 26; the actual day was Monday. I say "was" because, as you read this week's column, we've all formed a stronger opinion as to who we will be voting for, because the first debate is over. My guess is as good as yours. However, my belief is both will go in heavily prepared and that Donald Trump will give Hillary Clinton a huge challenge. But needless to say, I and millions will be glued to the tube, especially the CEO of Goldman Sachs. So it's the start of game on; the first of the three debates is over, and the gloves are off ! I will say if Clinton doesn't knock Trump out during the first debate, it's over for her. My prediction is Clinton will try to bait Trump. Even though you can't win a campaign with a debate, you certainly can lose one. Hillary Clinton has more baggage and corruption in her closet in a year than Trump has had in a lifetime! A final note on the debate: The Clinton campaign invited Mark Cuban, and Trump's campaign threatened to invite Gennifer Flowers. It's just a sign of the times to come; it's called dirty politics. In an interesting happening last week, Ted Cruz endorsed Donald Trump. So much for insulting my wife and daughters. So
much for political ambition. From my sources, Cruz is in trouble in his own backyard. So what does he do? Endorse Trump right before the debate! Do I think this move will help him? No. In my opinion, he committed political suicide at the Republican Convention, and that's not going to change. So what is it going to take for Trump to win? In this race he needs more African American and Hispanic voters. He's leading Clinton in the white male population and running slightly behind with the white female voters. Right before the debate Clinton and Trump were neck and neck, with the swing states leaning toward Trump. But I know polls can change rapidly and what will really count is starting after the first debate. On to the protests during the national anthem at football games. It leaves me trying to comprehend how anyone could respect this sport. Now before the calls, emails and letters start, it's not all the players but more than I care to say, and maybe it's not so much about the sport but some who play the sport. Since 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem before NFL preseason games, this movement has slowly spread across the courts and fields in the U.S. On Saturday,
S eptember 24, some Michigan football players raised their fists up in protest during the national anthem. Had I been in the audience I would have walked out. And to top it all, a California high school football team staged a bizarre "die-in" in protest during the singing of the national anthem. I've also seen pictures of students in the band dropping to their knees while playing the national anthem. What a disgrace! It makes me wonder where our country is headed! And why we aren't protesting the NFL! At the same time, Obama gave a speech at the opening of the new National Museum of African Americans in Washington D.C. while violent protests continue in Charlotte, North Carolina. The opening of this museum tells me how far we have come as a nation. Above all, we should never forget what all races of Americans have paid for love of country, and never accept disrespect, whether it is sitting out the national anthem, burning our flag or accepting paid violent protestors.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
What’s His Name? E ach generat ion throughout antiquity has had its superheroes. In my generation I was mesmerized by the television episodes of the Lone Ranger and Superman. Mankind has always had an innate longing for a superhero to rescue them. Stories of folk lore, fables, and fancy have filled the imagination of man. But the truth was realized when the invisible God, the creator of the universe, sent not a superhero, but a redeemer to the earth, who bore the express image of the Godhead. The Holy Spirit inspired ancient Agur, who penned Proverbs 30 to ask this astounding question, “Who has ascended into heaven or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name and what is His Son’s name, if you know?� (Proverbs 30:4) God has a Son. The prophet Isaiah revealed His name and His arrival to earth by being born of a virgin, “Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son and shall call His n a m e Im m a nu e l .� (Isaiah 7:14) His name is Immanuel, which means, “God with us�. What is His name?
Isaiah gives these clues to His identity “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given . . . And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.� (Isaiah 9:6-7) So far, we have discovered that God has a S on d e s c r ib e d by various names revealing His identity and His divinity. In the gospels we are introduced to the Son of God by the angel Gabriel, who was dispatched by God to announce his birth through the virgin Mary. “‘Don’t be afraid Mary,’ the angel told, her, ‘for you have found favor with God! You will conceive and give birth to a Son and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever, his kingdom will never end!’� (Luke 1:26-38) What is His Son’s name? How does He impact your life? HE IS JESUS. “And you will name him Jesus.� It was a rather common name among the Jewish people. In the Hebrew it is Joshua or Jeshua (yeshua) meaning Jehovah is salvation. Jesus is found in every book of the Bible, types and foreshadowing, pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate redeemer. In His name there is salvation and
9
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
forgiveness of sins. “You are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.� (Matthew 1:20-21) In Jesus’ name there is healing and deliverance. In Jesus’ name prayers are answered. (John 16:23-26) At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth.� (Philippians 2:6-11) HE IS THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH. The scriptures reveal adamantly and clearly that he is God, the Son of God. “He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High.� (Luke 1:32, 35) Isaiah referred to Him, among other names, as Mighty God. (Isaiah 9:6-7) HE IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS. He is referred to as the Son of David. (Luke 1:32) He will rule on the throne of David, on Mount Zion, forever. (Luke 1:32, 33) “Everlasting God� is a term of deity. HE IS THE HOLY ONE. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary. He is totally God and totally man, but He is untainted by sin. All creation worships Him, for He is holy. (Luke 1:35; Revelation 5:6-14) Do you need a miracle in your life? The angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary, “For nothing is impossible with God.’ (Luke 1:38) “What is His name? What is His Son’s name?� (Proverbs 30:4) His name is Jesus! I saw this powerful quote of Oswald Chambers on Facebook, “When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same.� Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ll soon have a chance to take a big step up from where you are to where you want to be. Check it out first. Remember: Even the Mountain Sheep looks before it leaps. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This week brings a challenge that could determine the future direction of your life. If you’re ready for a change, accept it with confidence. A loved one supports your decision. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A disruption creates a delay in completing your projects. Use this time to pursue a personal matter you were too busy to deal with before. You’ll find it will be time well spent. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You still need to be on the alert for any signs of problems that could create serious misunderstandings. A more positive aspect begins to emerge toward the week’s end. Be patient. LEO (July 23 to August 22) With things slowing down a bit this week, it would be a good time for luxuryloving Leonines to go somewhere for some well-earned pampering. Things liven up around Friday. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Single Virgos looking for partners are finally getting a break from Venus, who has moved in to make things happen. Attached Virgos see their relationships blossom. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’ve been working hard to get things done. Now take a breather and
recheck your next step. You might want to make some changes in view of the news that comes your way. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The watchword for savvy Scorpios this week is “preparation.” Consider sharpening your skills to make the most of the new opportunity you’re about to take on. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) There might still be some loose ends that need tucking up if you hope to get that important relationship repaired. A new spurt of activity starts soon. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It’s a good idea to keep the positive momentum going by finding and getting rid of anything that could cause you to stumble. Keep the path ahead clear and open. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A period of contemplation is advised before you make your next move. Be sure that where you decide to go is the right place for you. A health matter needs attention. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) That new energy surge that hit you last week continues to send out good vibrations. Try investing a part of it in creating something noteworthy on the job. BORN THIS WEEK: You like to balance your personal universe, and in doing so, you help bring harmony into the lives of the rest of us. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
Wednesday, September 28, 2016 • Most people know "Mary Poppins" from the 1964 Disney film, but the character was created by author P.L. Travers and first appeared in a children's book published in 1934. Walt Disney loved the story and wanted to make it into a movie, but it took more than 20 years for him to convince Travers to approve the plan. • Beloved American author Kurt Vonnegut studied biochemistry in college. • You may think you know what color a polar bear's fur is, but you're probably wrong: It's not white; it's translucent. The fur appears white because it reflects visible light — in fact, polar bears are nearly invisible in infrared photography. If you've seen a
polar bear in a zoo, though, you may have noticed a greenish tinge to its fur; this color comes from algae, which tends to form when the bears are in warm and humid environments to which they're not accustomed. • You might be surprised to learn that the first drivein theater in the United States was opened all the way back in 1921, in downtown Comanche, Texas. Attendees parked bumper to bumper to watch screenings of silent films. *** Thought for the Day: "A good storyteller is the conscience-keeper of a nation." — Sampooran Singh Gulzar © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
