Royals. They lost a great DH in Billy Butler in the offseason, and they signed a better one in Kendrys Morales. In a game that stresses on-base percentage and starting pitching, these guys advanced runners by simply making contact, won games with the middle-relief corps and defense. And it was a total team effort. Ned Yost provided consistent, albeit at times bizarre, management. None of the starters won more than 13 games. Their regular closer wasn't lights-out dominant with an ERA hovering around the 4.00 mark. Only one player had more than 100 RBIs, and nobody hit over .300 or reached 30 home runs. Yet the same cast of characters that battled Madison Baumgardner last fall would not be denied this time around, and names like Moustakis, Morales, Cain, Perez and Hosmer join the pantheon of greats.

2016 GIRL SCOUT COOKIE PROGRAM The 2016 Girl Scout Cookie Program is here! Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) kicked off the cookie program January 9-10 during the f i rst C o ok i e B o ot h Weekend of the season. At these Cookie Booths, customers can purchase cookies directly from girls at various locations throughout southern Illinois. Traditional cookie orders take place from Jan. 9 through Jan. 30, with Girl Scouts taking orders for the delicious treats — which will be delivered in late February. To get connected to a Girl Scout in your area, please call 800345-6858 or visit http://bit. l y / C o o k i e F i n d e r. Customer demand for Girl Scout Cookies following delivery has been high historically, so additional Cookie Booth Weekends will be held Feb. 26

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
through March 13. Find Girl Scout Cookie Booths in your area using the Girl Scout Cookie app or Little Brownie Baker’s Cookie Locator at http://cookielocator.littlebrownie.com/. In addition to cookie booths and traditional orders, girls will also be able to sell Girl Scout cookies online through a program called Digital Cookie. “Digital Cookie is an exciting element of the Girl Scout Cookie Program that creates a safe, interactive space for girls to sell cookies,” said Kelly Jansen, Director of Product Sales. “Digital Cookie is a revolutionary enhancement of the Girl Scout Cookie Program, coupling traditional sales activities with online and mobile sales experiences that teach girls online marketing and ecommerce,” Jansen added. “Girls will
market their online cookie business by inviting customers via email to visit their personalized cookie websites, where consumers can order cookies from the comfort of their living room. This option is particularly great for girls who have out-of-town family members and friends,” Jansen said. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girlled business in the country and generates immeasurable benefits for girls and their communities. Girls who participate in the 2016 Girl Scout Cookie Program benefit from “learning by earning” and develop five valuable life skills — goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Girls then use their proceeds to support their chosen activities for the year, to fund
community service and leadership projects, to attend summer camp or to travel to destinations near and far. In addition, proceeds from the program help 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 quality program activities for girls. The Girl Scout Mission is: 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 working together.

kennel during visits? — Barked Out in Birmingham, Alabama DEAR BARKED OFF: I don’t know that there’s a way to tell your sister-inlaw to leave her dog at home that would be taken well. Mitsi clearly is a full member of their family and travels with her. Can a compromise be reached instead? Ask her if Mitsi can be placed in a separate room during mealtimes while they are visiting. She’ll probably still bark, but at least it won’t be right in your ear. You also need to discuss how Mitsi is stressing out the cats. Sometimes people think it’s funny when a visiting dog chases the family pets around, but it’s not fun for those pets. It’s like having a schoolyard bully walk right into your

should respect your concerns as well. That discussion probably won’t be comfortable, but if Mitsi’s barking and bullying are making the holidays a living hell, you need to say something. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc

Make Giving Blood A Lifesaving Habit In 2016
he American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to make a lifesaving commitment to donate blood to help ensure a sufficient blood supply in the new year, beginning in January with National Blood Donor Month. Britton Lund made her first blood donation as a high school student. Though it was easy and she knew her type O negative blood was in high demand, she only gave sporadically over the next 10 years. Then, her sister was diagnosed with brain cancer, motivating Lund to become a regular donor. “I will continue to give until they tell me I can’t anymore,” she said. “It is a quick, easy way to make a difference.” National Blood Donor Month highlights the importance of volunteer blood and
platelet donors like Lund and their impact on patient healthcare. National Blood Donor Month has been observed in January since 1970 with the goal of increasing blood and platelet donations during winter – one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs. Severe winter weather may result in canceled blood drives, and seasonal illnesses, like the flu, can cause donors to be temporarily unable to give. Blood donors of all types are needed to maintain a sufficient supply. Eligible donors with types O, B negative and A negative blood are encouraged to donate double red cells where available. During a double red cell donation, two units of red cells are collected while most of the plasma and
platelets are returned to the donor. To make an appointment to donate blood, download the free Red Cross Blood Donor App from app stores, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Facts About Blood Needs • Ever y two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. • Approximately 41,000 blood donations are needed every day. • Nearly 21 million blood components are transfused each year in the U.S. • The average red blood cell transfusion is approximately 3 pints. • The blood type most often requested by hospitals is Type O.

disease each year. Sickle cell patients can require frequent blood transfusions throughout their lives. â&#x20AC;˘ More than 1.6 million people were expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2015. Many of them will need blood, sometimes daily, during their chemotherapy treatment. â&#x20AC;˘ A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood.
then discarded. â&#x20AC;˘ Blood donation is a simple four-step process: registration, medical history and mini-physical, donation and refreshments. â&#x20AC;˘ Every blood donor is given a mini-physical, checking the donor's temperature, blood pressure, pulse and hemoglobin to ensure it is safe for the donor to give blood. â&#x20AC;˘ The actual blood donation typically takes less than 10-12 minutes. The entire process, from the time you arrive to the time you leave, takes about an hour and 15 min. â&#x20AC;˘ The average adult has about 10 pints of blood in his body. Roughly 1 pint is given during a donation. â&#x20AC;˘ A healthy donor may donate red blood cells every 56 days, or double red cells every 112 days. â&#x20AC;˘ A healthy donor may donate platelets as few as 7 days apart, but a maximum of 24 times a year. â&#x20AC;˘ All donated blood is tested for HIV, hepatitis B and C,
syphilis and other infectious diseases before it can be released to hospitals. â&#x20AC;˘ Information you give to the American Red Cross during the donation process is confidential. It may not be released without your permission except as directed by law.
Facts About The Blood Supply â&#x20AC;˘ Type O negative blood (red cells) can be transfused to patients of all blood types. It is always in great demand and often in short supply. â&#x20AC;˘Type AB positive plasma can be transfused to patients of all other blood types. AB plasma is also usually in short supply. Facts About The Blood Donation Process â&#x20AC;˘ Donating blood is a safe process. A sterile needle is used only once for each donor and
Facts About Donors â&#x20AC;˘ Only 9 percent of people in the U.S. have O negative blood type. O negative blood type donors are universal donors as their blood can be given to people of all blood types. â&#x20AC;˘ Type O negative blood is needed in emergencies before the patient's blood type is known and with newborns who need blood. â&#x20AC;˘ Only 3 percent of people in the U.S. have AB positive blood type. AB positive type blood donors are universal donors of plasma, which is often used in emergencies, for newborns and for patients requiring massive transfusions.

O On Tuesday Obama will deliver his last State of the Union address. Last week he said he would not support anyone who doesn't support gun control. Interesting! If I were running for President, the last person I'd want supporting me is Barack Hussein Obama. What I'm finding across the board is Trump is holding strong and getting stronger among the well educated as well as the great common sense blue collar worker, the backbone of our country. The young college group and young entrepreneurs are leaning towards Bernie Sanders, and I get that. Not that I support him, but I get it! And as of Sunday, Bernie has almost caught up with Hillary in Iowa. I'll close on this issue by saying I'd rather see Bernie be the nominee over Clinton. I'm stunned that anyone continues to support Hillary Clinton. But to each their own! The GOP is fearful of Trump but is maybe more so of Ted Cruz. If you disqualify Trump, you help Cruz. If you disqualify Cruz, you help Trump. The GOP establishment doesn't want that! But it's too late! Going to Iowa, it's going to be hard to beat Cruz. He has the advantage in Iowa. Many Iowans are digging in against Trump! Over the weekend, Cruz brought up his birth citizenship again. In my opinion, this issue is beginning to get to him, and so it should. As he put it, the good people of the media are going through rabbit holes to find a story. I would correct him. There aren't a lot of good people left in media; too many are twisting truth, like CNN. And it's not rabbit holes. His legal right to be the President is a fair question. We know others have said he's qualified to be the Prime Minister of Canada! But eighteen months ago, Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship. However, President of the U.S. is another thing. Needless to say, I'm not a Cruz supporter and there is a real question about his qualifications. At this point I have to admit I've joined the Trump supporters. It's not that I like him, but because at this point, in my opinion, he's our only last great hope. As promised last week, below are just some of the new Illinois laws. Be aware, you'll find more on our website at www.theshoppersweekly.com. And the complete list of new
laws is online at Sen. Kyle McCarter's legislative website at www.senatormccarter.com/. • A new law taking effect Jan. 1, spearheaded by Sen. Kyle McCarter, goes after designer drug manufacturers. SB 1129/PA 99-0371 combats dangerous synthetic or designer street drugs by targeting how they are made and allowing prosecutors to not have to wait as long for lab tests to show if the synthetic drug involved was illegal. • Those who call 9-1-1 in 2016 better be sure it’s a legitimate emergency. Individuals convicted of making false or prank calls to 9-1-1 call centers or making other false reports to emergency responders could be held responsible for reimbursing the costs incurred by the responding emergency agency under HB 3988/PA 99-0160. • Illinois joins several other states Jan. 1 with a new law that can help save or prolong people’s lives. Terminally-ill patients in Illinois will have access to clinical-trial, experimental medical treatments and medications, thanks to the Right to Try law (HB 1335/ PA 99-0270) sponsored by Sen. Michael Connelly. • Hunting is a very popular activity, especially in downstate Illinois. In 2016, under a new law spearheaded by Sen. Sam McCann, hunters will be able to hunt bobcats to control overpopulation and keep the animal at healthy numbers. HB 352/PA 99-0033 sets the dates for the bobcat hunting season from Nov. 1 through Feb. 15. • In the classroom in 2016, to help high school students better understand government and the democratic process, a civics course requirement has been added to high school curriculum through HB 4025/PA 99-0434. • Animal Welfare Owner ID (HB 4029/PA 99-0310): Requires animal control facilities to check for microchips and other ID means to determine owner. If an owner is identified, the facility must contact via mail at least seven business days before transfer, foster home, or euthanasia. Before transfer, foster home, or euthanasia the facility is required to check a second time for microchip and make sure original information obtained, if any, was correct. • Humane Care for Animals (SB 125/PA 99-0311): States that, “No owner of a dog or cat may expose the dog or cat in a manner that places the dog or cat in a life-threatening situation for a prolonged period of time in extreme heat

or cold conditions.” • Youth Hunting License Age (HB 3234/PA 99-0307 – Sen. Chapin Rose): Raises age cap for youth hunting licenses from 16 to 18. • Smart Phone Theft Protection Act (SB 66/PA 99-0327): Creates the Smart Phone Theft Protection Act. Creates new regulations on vendors that buy and resell smart phones. Prohibits minors from trading in smart phones. Defines resale businesses that have 25 of more locations in the state (i.e. AT&T or Verizon) to ensure such business can enter into trade-in agreements for promotions and upgrade offers. Last week we asked you to give your opinion on the question, "Do we have a decent choice for President in this election?" And boy, did we get the responses! See them on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/shoppers.weekly/. Some were deleted due to language; however, I would say overall it was yes, and you got it — Trump. Last but not least, going back to my favorite saying, "You can't fix stupid," the epitome of stupidity this week is Mayor Jim Kenney of Philadelphia. Police officer Jesse Hartnett was sitting in his squad car Thursday evening when he was shot several times by Edward Archer. After being arrested the shooter said —not once, not twice but three times — "I follow Allah. I pledge allegiance to the Islamic State." And what does the Mayor of Philadelphia say in a statement, playing down the Islamic connection following the shooting? "This shooting had nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Muslim faith." Even though the shooter said, according to Commissioner Ross, "Police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran." In my opinion, this idiot has been listening to his Commander-in-Chief too long and needs to get a grip on reality. I hope the good people of Philadelphia run this jerk out of office. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Hungering for God’s Word A New Year encourages and inspires people to make New Year’s resolutions and to set new goals. One of the greatest goals to bring you a happy and prosperous New Year is to read through the entire Bible this year. My oldest son began the practice of reading through the Bible in one year when he was in the 8th grade. He used “A Year through the Bible.” He continues to do so each year and, he says that it has enriched and changed his life. The Bible is the bestselling book of all time. Henry A. Ironside said, “The Christian life is never static. One must either grow in grace or there will be backsliding and deterioration.” The psalmist David wrote, “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” (Psalms 119:105) Psalms 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and in it David shares his delight and hunger for God’s Word. Consider some of the great benefits in reading, studying, and meditating on God’s Holy Word on a daily basis. GOD’S WORD GIVES NOURISHMENT TO THE SOUL. It is the

breakfast of champions. It is true soul food. Jesus said, “It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4) Going several days without eating nutritional food makes one weak and can lead to malnourishment and sickness. Jesus said, “The words I have spoken unto you are spirit and they are life.” (John 6:63) David hungered for the Word of God. “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” (Psalms 119:103104, 131-132) GOD’S WORD WILL KEEP YOU FROM SIN AND ENABLE YOU TO OVERCOME TEMPTATION. “Your Word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalms 119:9-11) A mother wrote in the fly-leaf of her soldier son’s Bible, “This book will either keep you from sin or sin will keep you from this book.” “Jesus overcame the tempter by
using the Sword of the Spirit against him by quoting s cr ipture.” (Matthew 4:1-4) GOD’S WORD WILL GIVE YOU DIRECTION, WISDOM, AND SUCCESS IN LIFE. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalms 119:26-27, 98, 105) In the Bible are principles for success and life. Proverbs is called the book of wisdom. GOD’S WORD WILL MAKE YOU A STRONG DISCIPLE AND A SKILLFUL WORKMAN. “All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (II Timothy 3:1617; 2:15) GOD’S WORD WILL BE AN ENDLESS TREASURE HOUSE OF JOY AND DELIGHT. “I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies as much as in all riches.” (Psalms 119:14-15) From Genesis to Revelation God’s Word reveals an unfolding knowledge of the glories of Christ. GOD’S WORD IS HOW WE HEAR HIS VOICE. He speaks to us personally through His Word. (Revelation 3:20) His sheep hear His voice. (John 10:1-5, 14) As you read, expect God to speak
to you. GOD’S WORD STILLS YOUR SOUL AND GIVES YOU PEACE. “Great peace have they who love your law and nothing causes them to s t u m b l e .” ( Ps a l m s 119:164-165) Someone has said, “If your Bible is well read and falling apart, it usually means you are not falling apart.” GOD’S WORD INCREASES YOUR FAITH A N D G I V E S YOU GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES TO INHERIT. “I arise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.” (Psalms 119:147; Romans 10:7) God’s Word gives you promises to believe and claim. (Hebrews 6:12; II Peter 1:4) Jesus gave us the parable of the wise man and the foolish man. Let’s be like the wise man who not only heard the Word of God, but put it into practice. (Matthew 7:2427) Begin the New Year with the discipline and delight of daily Bible reading. As you hear and obey the voice of God, your life will be changed and enriched forever.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your batteries should be fully recharged by now, making you more than eager to get back into the swing of things full time. Try to stay focused so that you don’t dissipate your energies. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to charge straight ahead into your new responsibilities. But you’ll have to paw the ground a little longer, until a surprise complication is worked out. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rival factions are pressuring you to take a stand favoring one side or the other. But this isn’t the time to play judge. Bow out as gracefully as possible, without committing yourself to any position. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Reassure a longtime, trusted confidante that you appreciate his or her words of advice. But at this time, you need to act on what you perceive to be your own sense of self-interest. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You need to let your warm Leonine heart fire up that new relationship if you hope to see it move from the “just friends” level to one that will be as romantic as you could hope for. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) There’s still time to repair a misunderstanding with an honest explanation and a heartfelt apology. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get on with other matters.

you progress toward your goal. Use this time to re-examine your plans and see where you might need to make some significant changes. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some missteps are revealed as the cause of current problems in a personal or professional partnership. Make the necessary adjustments and then move on. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Jupiter’s influence helps you work through a pesky problem, allowing your naturally jovial attitude to re-emerge stronger than ever. Enjoy your success. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Set aside your usual reluctance to change, and consider reassessing your financial situation so that you can build on its strengths and minimize its weaknesses. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some recently acquired information helps open up a dark part of the past. Resolve to put what you’ve learned to good use. Travel plans continue to be favored. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Act on your own keen instincts. Your strong Piscean backbone will support you as someone attempts to pressure you into a decision you’re not ready to make. BORN THIS WEEK: You embody a love for traditional values combined with an appreciation of what’s new and challenging.

Blackbeard made himself fearsome to enemies by tying lighted fuses into his beard. • In a survey conducted in five major U.S. cities, men were asked to choose which activity they'd rather do: spend a romantic evening in a hotel with a sexy woman, or go to the Super Bowl. Three-quarters of respondents chose the football game. • There were no domestic cats in North America until they arrived with voyagers from Europe. • You've probably noticed that St. Pauli Girl beer has on its label the image of a buxom blond beauty. You probably aren't aware, however, that the beer was named after the St. Pauli neighborhood of Hamburg, Germany — a notorious red-light district. So while you may think the lovely image is that of a simple serving girl, it's not out of the question that the lady's occupation may have been somewhat less savory. • If you're planning to wrap a mummy in the proper Egyptian manner, you'll need about 500 feet of linen to finish the job. • Parts of Australia have been undergoing an intense drought for more than a decade.
