Trampled Underwood I once knew a kid whose favorite part of watching a video -- any video -- was the FBI warning screen. It was so weird an affliction that if he was out of the room making, say, microwave popcorn, he would beg us to rewind back to the screen upon his return. Apparently his dad or uncle was in the FBI or something. I was reminded of this as I watched Carrie Underwood sing the opening theme song for the Sunday Night Football game. I know this puts me in a tough spot, so before any of you Carrie Underwood fans get upset, I am not making fun of her ... just the spot she is in. To set the scene, my brother-inlaw and I are sitting down, ready to watch the Cardinals lose to the Patriots. There is a brief introduction from Al Michaels, and then all of sudden, you've got Carrie Underwood in a sparkly cocktail dress shimmying through locker rooms, singing some peppy song, telling us there's a game and the Cardinals and Patriots will be the par-

Who are the only two Japanese pitchers to toss a no-hitter in Major League Baseball? 3. Name the last team before the Seattle Seahawks (2012-15 seasons) to lead the NFL in fewest points allowed for at least four consecutive seasons. 4. North Carolina's Ty

ticipants. We didn't even have a bet on the game (though I was insistent that New England would win), but we did have an argument about Carrie Underwood that escalated into a wager. For one thing, we didn't know it was Carrie Underwood. I'm a country-music fan, but I'm into Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash, so every new female country singer is Miranda Lambert as far I know. My brother-in-law disagreed. "It's Shania Twain," he insisted. We came to a loose agreement that it could be Taylor Swift. The words to the song start as follows: "America's game, been waiting all day / the best of the best have come to play / the gang's all here, let's turn it up / it's the NFL, can't get enough!" I have a few issues with this seemingly innocuous beginning of what is simply supposed to be a warm welcome. For one thing, unless you are a fan of the Patriots and Cardinals or had to spend your entire day working, chances are you haven't been waiting all day for the game. (Yes, we know you Lawson set a record in 2009 with eight steals in the NCAA Tournament championship game in men's basketball. Who had held the mark of seven? 5. Florida's Jaromir Jagr (44) set an NHL record in the 2015-16 seasons for most goals (27) and points (66) by an NHL player 43 years old or older. Who had held the record? 6. How many Olympic medals has the U.S. won in table tennis? 7. In 2015, golfer Jordan Spieth won five events during the PGA season, becoming the youngest player (22 years old) to do so since whom?

fantasy footballers have a stake in the game, too ... we know this because you won't ever SHUT UP about your starters.) Then there's the part about the "gang." I don't know if my brother-in-law and I can really constitute a "gang." We were in fraternities in college, and I'm a member of the Optimist Club, but I can't say I've ever been in a gang. Also, I can't ever recall ever using the term to describe me and a bunch of friends. Like, when the wife calls and asks where I am, never once did I say I was with "the gang." Anyway, Underwood is acting sassy all over the place ... in front of team buses, through men's locker rooms, in the tunnel, on the field. She brushes past Eli Manning, who looks confused as always ... she tosses a helmet at Clay Matthews, points at a sponsor's sign and shows us her legs before launching fireworks. I'm thinking to myself, I'd just rather be listening some more to Al Michaels or watch the cheerleaders. Who really ne e ds t his op ening segment? Then my sister came in the room. "Oh, did I miss the Carrie Underwood part? Can you rewind it?" Well, I guess it beats an FBI warning. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

CENTRALIA MANOR AT LIBERTY VILLAGE OF CENTRALIA EARNS FIVE STAR RATING

Christ Our Rock Lutheran High School began its 12th year with a record student body of 115 students, including one returning international student from China. This school year also saw the first use of the new classroom facilities, with the art and music programs moving into new quarters. “It is exciting to see students use the new art and music classrooms. As many schools cut back on the performing arts, Christ Our Rock has expanded our programs and looks to continue this trend in the future. We are truly blessed with so many generous donors and volunteers,” said Don D uensing , E xe c ut ive Director and Principal of the school. CORLHS began the school year on Aug. 17. This year’s student body includes 34 freshmen, 25 sophomores, 32 juniors and 24 seniors. The current enrollment has just under 50 percent of the students attending Lutheran congregations, with the remainder coming from other Christian congregations or having no designated church home. More than 25 Christian congregations are represented in the student body. This year’s freshman class came from over 20 different middle/elementary schools.

Centralia Manor of Centralia, a not-for-profit provider, has been awarded a Five Star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for its overall quality. A Five Star rating is the highest rating possible. “We are extremely proud of this recognition which is indicative of the exceptional personalized care and services we provide our residents,” said Jennifer Winks-Sursa, Centralia Manor Administrator. “We not only believe in high quality resident care, we practice and excel at it day

The Christ Our Rock student body draws from across the broad spectrum of the four county area, with students coming from Addieville, Ashley, Carlyle, Centralia, Dix, Hoffman, Hoyleton, Irvington, Iuka, Kinmundy, Nashville, Odin, Okawville, Patoka, Sandoval, Salem, Venedy, Walnut Hill and Woodlawn. Mr. Nicolas Harding, a graduate of Concordia University-Seward joins the staff this year, leading the band and choir out of a new classroom in the school’s newly-opened addition. Harding also teaches Biblical Overview and supervises a computer applications class a d m i n iste re d j oi nt ly through Kaskaskia College. The art classes also have a new home in the addition, with expanded space and kiln room “The difference has really been night and day,” said art instructor Mindy Wicklander. “Routine classroom activities like getting supplies and photographing artwork go much smoother. Plus more work space means room for more students! “The new room plus a kiln room mean that I can add ceramics lessons. There really is nothing like clay when it comes to creating. The basics are accessible to any skill level yet it offers a lot of room for growth,” said

Wicklander. Also new to the faculty is Mr. Andrew Snow, who is teaching the physical education and drivers education classes. Snow is a graduate of Lindenwood University. Joining the faculty last year were Doug Lueking, agricultural science and FFA adviser, and Tim Bierbaum, who assumed duties as athletic director, volleyball coach and mathematics instructor. Lueking, a local dairy farmer, is a graduate of University of Illinois, while Bierbaum received his degree from Concordia University-Seward. Other faculty include Julie Cole, Director of Student Services and social studies; Bert Griffin, Spanish; Patti Heard, English and literature; Ben Kasten, mathematics and science; Wilfred Pennington, social studies and theology; and Randa Trout, science. Staff include Tanya Agan, school secretary; Curt Fischer, director of development; and Joni Kroeger, administrative assistant. Christ Our Rock’s extracurricular activities have grown over the past decade to include soccer, volleyball, golf, scholastic bowl, boys and girls basketball, cheerleading, baseball, softball and track and field. Cross country has been added this year as well.

NEW HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION DIRECTOR After receiving dozens of applications and conducting several interviews, the board of directors of The Healthcare Foundation has chosen Tina Suarez as the new Executive Director. Tina will be responsible for answering financial assistance requests, as well as developing better communication within the community, both online and in person. Board President Marcus Holland said, "We look forward to the future of the foundation with Tina and welcome her positive energy and enthusiasm. The Healthcare Foundation Board of Directors is com-

mitted to provide support and guidance as Tina begins the next chapter in her career and the next chapter for the foundation. We hope you will continue to support the foundation as we help our neighbors in need."

Favorite Amish & Mennonite Desserts

Both the Amish and Mennonites are well known for their baking skills, and that includes pies, cakes, cookies, breads and fruit desserts. My love of baking started as a little girl in my grandmother's kitchen. Although she was not Amish or a Mennonite but was German, her baking was comparable to the excellent kitchen skills of the Amish and Mennonites. The sad part is many of the old recipes have been lost over the years, or they were never written down. Some of my favorite recipes follow and are popular with the Amish and Mennonites.

Cinnamon Bread

2 cups milk 1 T. vanilla extract 2 T. shortening, softened 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup warm water 2 cups quick oatmeal (not old-fashioned) 1 pkg. active dry yeast 5½-6 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 T. salt Oil and butter for brushing In small saucepan, combine milk and shortening; scald over medium heat. In large, warm mixer bowl, combine warm water and yeast with fork; set aside in warm place to proof, until mixture starts to bubble, about 10 min. To hot milk, add 1/4 cup brown sugar, salt, and vanilla; mix. Add to yeast water mixture, then stir in beaten eggs and oatmeal; blend. Add half the flour and mix well. Gradually work in rest of flour. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 min. Return to large oiled bowl, and oil top of dough. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour, or a bit more. After dough has risen, punch down thoroughly and divide in half. On floured board, roll out each half into 13x8" rectangle, pressing out as many air bubbles as possible. Combine remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle half on each rectangle (do not butter first). Roll tightly, beginning at short edge. Pinch edge of dough to seal well; press in ends of roll. Place loaves, seam side down, in 2 well-greased 9x5x3" loaf pans. Brush lightly with oil. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, 30 to 45 min. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake loaves 10 min., lower heat to 350°F, and bake 25 to 30 min. longer, or until loaves are deep golden brown and make hollow sound when tapped. Immediately spread tops of hot loaves with cold butter. Remove from pans and let cool. This bread freezes well. NOTE: Half-lard and half-vegetable shortening works well in this recipe. If dough rises too high and flops over sides of pans before baking, carefully cut off excess raw dough with scissors. Makes 2 loaves.

Let cool completely. In large mixer bowl, whip cream cheese and butter for frosting until well blended. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, then vanilla and salt. Beat well. Spread cream cheese frosting on cooled cake and sprinkle pecans over top. NOTE: Because of cream cheese in frosting, cake should be refrigerated, but flavor will be better brought to room temperature before serving. Serves 12-16.

Oatmeal Cake

1 cup one-minute quick oatmeal, uncooked 1/2 tsp. salt 1½ cups boiling water 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. grated nutmeg 2 eggs FROSTING 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 1 cup chopped nuts, either pecans 1 cup brown sugar or English walnuts 1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 8 (oz.) flaked coconut Speck of salt Place oats in small bowl and pour boiling water over. Let stand 20 min. Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt on wax paper. Set aside. In large mixer bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add vanilla and gradually add sugars, beating until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Add oatmeal mixture and blend. Add flour mixture and blend again. Pour batter into oiled 13x8" baking pan. Bake 35 min., or until top of cake springs back when touched with fingertip. While cake is baking, prepare frosting. Melt butter in large saucepan. Add brown sugar and cook until mixture bubbles up. Add milk, and bring again to boil. Remove from heat and add rest of ingredients. Spread hot frosting on hot cake as soon as cake is done. Turn oven up to broil and broil cake about 6 inches from heat 2 min., or until frosting bubbles all over the cake. Let cool before cutting. Makes 12 large servings. *** 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.

Behold the Lamb Is there hope for America? Do you have a confident and lasting hope for your life? This election year we need to realize that it is not the donkey or elephant or any other political party that can solve the myriad problems of our country. The ultimate answer is allegiance to the Lamb of God. The actress Judy Garland once asked this haunting question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am such a legend, then why am I so lonely?â&#x20AC;? John the Baptist pointed us to the answer to mankindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age-old problem. As he was baptizing multitudes in the Jordan River, he saw Jesus and declared, â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; . . . Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus . . . he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Behold, the

In the Old Covenant, God proscribed a sacrificial lamb to make atonement for sin. In the New Covenant, Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Son, the Lamb of God, fulfilled all the Old Testament types and prophecies of the Lamb. To live with hope and freedom look to the Lamb of God.

Disc Water Pitcher Q: I have a disc water pitcher made by Fiesta. I purchased it at a flea market for $75 and would like to resell it. I understand these pitchers are now selling for as much as $300 each. Mine is cobalt blue. — Nancy, Reno, Nevada A: Your pitcher might be worth that much if it was authentic. It isn't. What you purchased is a reproduction. Color is often a tipoff for Fiesta fakes and reproductions. One of the better references is "Fiesta: Identification and Price Guide" by Glen Victorey. Four of the original colors for the disc water pitchers are forest green, chartreuse, turquoise and rose. *** Q: I have a secretary desk that my parents purchased at auction in 1943. It is

identified as being made by the Hekman Furniture Company. It has become a family heirloom but has been refinished and is not in its original state. Should I take it and have it professionally restored? — Carol, Bloomington, Indiana A: The Hekman Furniture Company was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1922 by three brothers: Henry, Jelle and John Hekman. The first pieces produced were occasional tables. In 1942, the company relocated its main show room to the Merchandise Mart in Chicago. During World War II, the plant made glider bottoms and ammunition boxes. The 1960s and '70s were a period of great expansion, and the company still exists. I have examined the picture you sent me of your desk, and I think it was

probably manufactured during the 1930s. Only you can determine if you want to have it professionally restored. Consider the cost of this service against the current value of your desk. *** Q: I have a pair of plastic salt and pepper shakers that look like Phillips 66 gasoline pumps. Are they worth keeping? — Betty, Buffalo, New York A: Your salt and pepper shakers were manufactured during the 1950s and were given away as premiums by Phillips 66 stations. They are valued in the $25 to $35 range by the "Salt and Pepper Price Guide," by Mark Moran and published by Krause Books. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

ast week began as "must see" TV as the long hyped and anticipated first Clinton / Trump Presidential Debate aired Monday night, September 26. The evening began with moderator Lester Holt of NBC explaining there would be 6 segments with a lead off question to both candidates for two minute responses and then a follow up open discussion. The three topic areas w o u l d b e Ac h i e v i n g Prosperity ; America's Direction; and Securing America. Setting the tone for the evening, his first question about achieving prosperity was prefaced by "There's been a record six straight years of job growth and new census numbers show incomes have increased..." Following are the 6 two minute questions. Achieving Prosperity 1. Why are you a better choice than your opponent to create the kinds of jobs that will put more money into the pockets of American workers? 2. Secretary Clinton, you're calling for a tax increase on the wealthiest Americans. Defend that. Mr. Trump, you're calling for a tax cut for the wealthy. Defend that. America's Direction 1. The share of Americans who say race relations are bad in the country is the highest it's been in decades. So how do you heal the divide? 2. Secretary Clinton, do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people? Mr. Trump, why did it take 5 years for you to say the president was born in the U.S.? Securing America 1. Our institutions are under cyber attack and our secrets are being stolen, who's behind it and how do we fight? 2. On nuclear weapons, President Obama reportedly considered changing the na-

BOTH LOCATIONS OPEN DAILY: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM tion's long standing policy on first use. Do you support the current policy? During the entire debate, Trump talked more than Clinton (8,455 words to Clinton's 6,119). So how was he allowed to talk so much more than Clinton? Simple. He was asked more follow-up questions and challenging comments from Lester Holt. 1. How are you going to tell American manufacturers they have to come back? 2. Why won't you release your taxes? The IRS says you can. 3. Why were you initially for the Iraq War and you say you were always against it? 4. Holt replied (in Candy Crowley fashion) that Trump was wrong on the "stop and frisk" policy and it is unconstitutional 5. What did you mean by your earlier in the month comment that "Clinton doesn't have a presidential look? And what were the adverse follow-up and challenging comments for Secretary Clinton? Zero, there weren't any. Of course, moderator?? Lester Holt had the opportunity to follow up with Clinton about: 1. Total unrest in the Middle East. 2. The Iran nuclear deal. 3. The Benghazi fiasco. 4. The FBI Investigation 6. Her current health issues. 7. Her comments about "deplorables" And, surprisingly, Lester Holt decided not to do any follow up on these. And to top off the debate, when Lester Holt announced "we are at the final question," Clinton, as if on cue, interrupted with "Well, one thing, one thing, Lester." And as if "planned," Hillary launched into a tirade of Trump against women and brings up the now infamous Beauty Queen. And, as expected as soon as the debate was over, the liberal mainstream media

declares Hillary the debate winner and focused on how awful Trump has been to women, omitting most of what occurred in the first 80 minutes of the debate. If you didn't see the debates here are some of the quotes from Trump you may never hear. "Typical politician. All talk, no action. Sounds good, doesn't work. Never going to happen." "I will bring back jobs. You can't." "I'm going to cut taxes big league. You're going to raise taxes big league. End of story." "She's got experience. Bad experience." "You called TPP the gold standard." As the week continued, thanks in part to Trump tweeting, the beauty queen stayed in the news cycle until replaced last Saturday by Trump's supposed 1995 tax returns from an anonymous source. Every day CNN and others issue the disclaimer that "we don't know if this is true or not," and then proceed to talk about it as if it is factual. This election could come down to who is the angriest. Across America, many are angry at politicians for getting nothing done. They are angry at the political system that has made their lives miserable, and they're angry at the media who has lost credibility and is as one sided as many politicians. They're angry at the injustice of the court system from all sides, and they're angry at where America's future is heading. This election will be a vote against, not a vote for.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cosmic changes create a potential for disruptions in your travel plans. In the meantime, you might want to consider shifting your focus to another area of your life that needs attention. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for beauty-loving Bovines to enjoy something special for the senses. It will restore your spirit and return you to the workaday world ready for the next challenge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) With your planetary ruler, Mercury, going retrograde, you might want to slow down the pace in pursuing some of your projects. Rushing things could be counterproductive. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Tensions begin to ease in those once-testy relationships. This helps create a more positive aspect all around. Expect to hear news that could lead you to rethink a recent decision. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The pace of activity that had slowed last week now begins to pick up. This is good news for Leos and Leonas who have career-building plans that need to be put into operation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Venus offers encouragement to romance-seeking Virgos who are ready to get up, get out and meet more people, one of whom could be that long-sought soul mate. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An ongoing problem with a co-worker might need to be sent to arbitra-

tion. Get all your facts together so that you have a solid base from which to make your argument. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You are usually decisive about most matters. But you might want to defer your decision-making this week until you get more facts. Someone is holding out on you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That quiet period is ending, and a new burst of activity creates some problems at the workplace. But things are soon resolved, and everything goes back to normal. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Relationships could be either helpful or hurtful as you pursue your career goals. You might have to make some difficult choices depending on what your priorities are. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might still have some doubts about a career move that could involve a lot of travel. If so, continue to check things out until you feel secure about making a decision. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love rules, as Venus continues to exercise her cosmic influence on both single and attached Pisces. New developments might cause you to change your travel plans.

#1 Priority! DONʼT BE BURNED BY POOR FEVER ADVICE

levated body temperature, also known as fever, makes many people run to the medicine cabinet. This is especially true when fever strikes a young child and parents’ concerns grow. But fevers are quite common and not nearly as harmful as many people may think. Although illnesses may bring about fevers that can be life-threatening, including malaria and dengue, more run-of-the-mill fevers are typically triggered by common bacterial or viral infections or even inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, offers The Mayo Clinic. Sometimes the cause of a fever can’t be identified, but that is not necessarily cause for alarm. Fevers are a natural immune response. The purpose of a fever is to gain an advantage over an infectious agent by making the body less favorable for the spread of this agent, whether it’s a virus or bacterium. Many infectious agents are temperature-

sensitive and require the right mix of conditions to be able to become profligate consumers of the body’s resources. The hypothalmus is the body’s internal thermostat and will be triggered by biochemical substances in the blood alerting the body to the presence of a potential invader. The body then will retain and generate more heat to essentially kill off that invader. According to the Internal Me d i c i n e R e s i d e n c y Pro g r am at Ind i ana University, because children have immature and novice immune systems, they tend to get higher fevers more quickly than adults. As children age and their bodies learn and adapt, fevers typically are not nearly as severe. This may be a reason why a child’s high fever is less of a concern than the same fever in an adult. Normal body temperature fluctuates during the day, but a temperature from about 97 F (36.1 C) to 99 F (37.2 C) generally is con-

Such fevers are considered dangerous. Chronic fevers, or those persisting for longer than three to four days, also should be checked out by a physician. Watching how a person behaves may indicate whether he or she is ill enough to necessitate a doctor visit. Infants should always be checked by a doctor if they have a fever because it could be a sign of a serious infection. Low-grade fevers generally do not require any medicine, and taking a fever-reducer may prolong the underlying illness or mask the cause of it. Give the body a chance to fight the foreign invader before reaching for acetaminop h e n o r i b u p ro f e n . Physicians may advise

avoiding fever-lowering drugs for temperatures of 102 F (38.9 C) or lower. Always call a doctor if you need clarification on medication dosage and other fever recommendations. Fevers can be scary, but they are just one of many ways the human body defends itself against illness.

remains in the body. Although doctors are not sure why, the varicella zoster virus can reactivate, causing shingles, which have different and more severe symptoms than chickenpox. It is important to note that herpes zoster is not caused by the same virus that causes genital herpes. Unlike chickenpox, which is characterized by itchy pustules that spread across the body, shingles generally begins as a very painful burning rash on one side of the body or face. The rash forms blisters that will scab in about a week. Prior to the presentation of the rash, the skin may itch and men and women may feel pain and tingling feelings in the area where the rash will develop. Unless a person has a weakened immune system, the rash will usually be in one banded area of the body. Otherwise, it could be more widespread like the chickenpox rash. Shingles is not conta-

Burning back pain and tingling could be indicative of shingles.

octors, pharmacies and walk-in medical centers now offer more vaccinations than just the standard flu shot. People have the opportunity to get vaccinated against chickenpox as well as an offshoot of that illness known as shingles. But is the shingles vaccine necessary? And if so, why? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says one in three people in the United States will develop shingles in his or her lifetime. Shingles, also known as zoster or herpes zoster, is caused by the varicella zoster virus. This is the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Anyone who has had chickenpox is susceptible to having shingles years later. That's because, despite being inactive, the virus

Wednesday, October 5, 2016 gious in the obvious sense, meaning a person with shingles will not give another person shingles. However, the shingles virus can be spread to another person who has never had chickenpox. Chickenpox may develop, but shingles will not. Because the shingles rash is often in areas of the body concealed by clothing, transmission to others is rare. After the shingles blisters have scabbed over, a person can no longer pass on the zoster virus. Shingles occurs later in life, primarily after a person has reached his or her 50s. Therefore, the CDC recommends the shingles vaccine (Zostavax) for individuals age 60 and older. The vaccine will protect the body against the reactivation of the zoster virus. It also may help those who have never had chickenpox from contracting chickenpox. The vaccine isn't failsafe, though. In some cases, even vaccinated people will

still experience shingles, although the outbreak may be less severe than if the shingles vaccine was never received. The vaccine, which requires just a single dose, transmits a live virus as a single injection in the upper arm. Redness, pain, swelling, and headaches are known side effects. The vaccine is safe for most individuals. However, those who have a weakened immune system, are receiving immune-system-suppressing drugs, have tuberculosis, are pregnant or trying to become pregnant or have had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the shingles vaccine should not be vaccinated. Even those who have had shingles before are urged to get the vaccine to prevent future occurrences. It is important for people to discuss their treatment options with their doctors and also to inquire if their medical insurance covers the shingles vaccine.

WHICH DOCTOR TO SEE AND WHEN

omen who split their health management among different doctors may not know which doctor to turn to when their health comes into question. They may ask themselves, "Is this issue best addressed by a family doctor or a gynecologist?" Answers to such questions depend on personal preferences and the type of condition you're looking to treat. Family do c tors or general practitioners may

be qualified to provide many of the screenings and services for which a woman may visit a gynecologist or women's health practice. Such doctors can perform routine pelvic examinations, oversee screenings for cervical cancer and conduct breast exams to check for lumps and other abnormalities, just like a woman's specialty doctor may run tests to calculate body mass index or check for cholesterol levels. A woman who feels more comfortable with one specific doctor may see him or her for a variety of health concerns, provided that doctor offers certain services. However, there are instances when certain healthcare questions are best answered by specialists. The following information can help women determine which doctor to see when certain situations arise. • Annual physicals: Gynecologists and family doctors can conduct physical examinations. Both can order blood lab tests and urinalysis to check cholesterol levels and for any vitamin deficiencies. Heart rate, blood pressure, weight, and height are other screenings that can be handled at either office. • Bacterial and yeast infections or urinary tract infections: A general practitioner or gynecologist can

address these infections. However, some women feel more comfortable discussing genital issues with their gynecologists. A gynecologist may be more experienced at identifying problems and ordering appropriate follow-up exams. A family doctor may not require an examination unless you request it and may treat broad symptoms. • Colds and coughs: In theory, a gynecologist may be able to diagnose and treat common health ailments. But the majority of a gynecologist's work concerns the female reproductive system, so common colds and coughs are best left to general practitioners who diagnose respiratory and bronchial conditions daily. • Mood disorders: If changes in mood seem to stem from hormones or the result of a pregnancy, a gynecologist or obstetrician may have treatment options available that can alleviate specific triggers. Many women initially turn to a family doctor if they are experiencing depression or changes in mood or behavior. Both a family doctor or a gynecologist may refer a patient to a mental health specialist if the situation seems to warrant more action. Continued on page 17

ADVANTAGES TO PHYSICAL THERAPY TO RELIEVE PAIN

hronic pain affects people all around the world, greatly impacting sufferers’ quality of life. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, recent reports have indicated more than 1.5 billion people worldwide experience chronic pain. C ommon complaints include lower back pain, headache, neck pain, or neurogenic pain, which is pain resulting from damage to peripheral nerves. Pain can impact people in many ways, as some people can tolerate discomfort better than others. Chronic pain may result in missed time at work, depression, anger, and an inability to live a full life. According to a recent Institute of Medicine Report: Relieving Pain in America: A Blueprint for Transforming Prevention, Care, Education, and Research, pain is a significant public health problem that costs society at least $560 to $635 billion annually. To cope with pain, many people rely on over-thecounter and prescription medications. This reliance on drugs has helped to fuel pain medication addictions that can lead to other drug abuse. The National Institute on Drug Abuse says research now suggests that abuse of opioid pain medications may actually open the door to heroin use. Some individuals report switching to heroin because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids. A safer and sometimes more effective method of pain relief than opioids, physical therapy can help a person get back on track and feel much better in the process. The American Physical Therapy Association says while surgery and prescrip-

Nutrition and weight loss: Many patients see a family doctor to seek advice on adopting a healthy diet. Some medical offices have a nutritionist on staff who can offer food counseling and exercise advise. • Infertility: It is best to visit a gynecologist or ob-

tion drugs can be the best course of treatment for certain diagnoses, there is increasing evidence that conservative treatments like physical therapy can be equally effective and cheaper treatment plans for many conditions. Physical therapy can be as effective as surgery for meniscal tears and knee osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears and spinal stenosis, among other conditions. When a patient is prescribed physical therapy, a therapist will develop a treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of the patient. This is essentially a collaboration between patient and physical therapist. Therapists are experts in improving mobility and motion and have studied extensively to that end. Because weakness or stiffness may be contributing to pain, therapists try to address the source of the pain and relieve the pain itself. Physical therapy may include exercises that stretch the body and

i m p r o v e f l e x i b i l i t y. Strengthening exercises will help work on core muscles as well as other parts of the body to prevent injury down the road. Therapy may target specific areas of pain. Because of their expertise, therapists may be able to assess posture, gait and other attributes that may be contributing to injury and make suggestions to reduce recurrence. In addition to the therapies mentioned, a combination of massage and other work may be included in a physical therapy plan. This may include TENS and ultrasound. According to WebMD, Transcutaneous Electrical Ner ve Stimulation, or TENS, uses a device to send a lowvoltage electric current to the skin over the area where you have pain. Ultrasound sends sound waves to the places you have pain. Both of these options may help to block pain messages to the brain and offer relief. Chronic pain can be debilitating. However, physi-

Such doctors have more intimate knowledge of the female reproductive system and could be more learned regarding the latest therapies and studies pertaining to fertility. • Cancer screening: PAP tests and breast exams can be performed at either doctor's office, although patients may feel more comfortable if a gynecologist

performs these screenings. It is important to note that not all gynecologists are obstetricians. Some handle women's reproductive issues but do not deliver children. Patients who prefer a doctor knowledgeable about reproductive health and won't be busy handling child deliveries should select a gynecologist.

cal therapy is often an effective way to combat chronic pain and help individuals find relief and return to living full lives.

To many motor ist s , “vehicle maintenance” means oil changes every 3,000 miles and weekly trips to the car wash. But there’s more to maintaining a vehicle than keeping it looking good on the road and tending to what’s under the hood. Recognizing the importance of nighttime visibility and how often headlamp maintenance is overlooked, Lumileds (founded by Philips) has launched a global safety campaign to increase

awareness about headlight bulb technology and the importance of replacing headlight bulbs in pairs. What happens to headlight bulbs as they age? The filaments of headlight bulbs age as the bulbs are used and exposed to the elements, which include sunlight, ozone and other environmental factors. As they age, the bulbs become fragile and light begins to deteriorate, typically within two to three years of initial usage. In some cases, aging bulbs may be delivering up to 30 percent less light than they delivered when they were brand new. Why are aging headlight bulbs unsafe? When driving at night, many motorists may notice that sometimes one headlamp seems to be putting out more light than the other. While this is inconvenient, drivers may not know why it’s also unsafe. When one headlamp bulb is producing a substantially weaker light output than the other, the result is an unbalanced and inconsistent light beam that can diminish driver visibility at night, when drivers’ visual acuity is naturally reduced by as much as 70 percent. Who is affected by unbalanced and inconsistent light beams?

Replacing just the failed bulb (left) can result in unbalanced and inconsistent lighting. Changing headlight bulbs in pairs (right) assures a properly lit road and the full safety benefit of the vehicleʼs headlights. Everyone on the road is affected when light beams emanating from vehicle headlamps are unbalanced. Drivers of vehicles that are producing uneven light beams will be driving with compromised visibility. Compromised nighttime visibility is a cause for considerable concern, as the National Safety Council® notes that traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day. But oncoming motorists are also affected by unbalanced, inconsistent light beams. Such motorists may have difficulty seeing and identifying vehicles with just one headlight operating at peak capacity, and some may even mistake oncoming cars and trucks for motorcycles. That can create positioning issues that put drivers on both sides of the street in jeopardy.

DID YOU KNOW? The Ford Motor Company’s Model T was offered in several styles, not unlike how vehicles of today are offered in various models. Among the Model T styles available was a twoseat runabout, which can be considered a precursor to the coupe style popular today, and a seven-seat town car, which might be considered an ancestor of today’s SUV, at least with

regard to passenger capacity. While prospective Model T drivers had some options when choosing which Model T they wanted to purchase, between 1913 and 1925 the car was produced only in black. The Model T engine was a 4-cylinder engine that generated 20 horsepower. To put that latter figure into perspective, many of today’s riding lawn mowers

Why replace headlight bulbs in pairs? By replacing headlight bulbs in pairs, drivers are doing their best to ensure their vehicles produce consistent, balanced light beams that can make nighttime driving safer for everyone on the road. Lumileds also notes the long-supported automotive industry standard of replacing various vehicle parts in pairs. Replacing parts such as tires, brakes, shocks and wiper blades in pairs ensures vehicles will maintain proper balance and function properly when driving at night and during the day. Drivers’ nighttime visibility suffers greatly when one headlight bulb is producing significantly less light than the other. Replacing bulbs in pairs can help motorists make the road safer for themselves and their fellow drivers.

are 20 horsepower, and some commercial lawn riding mowers provide as much as 40 horsepower. While car dealers might not sell too many cars featuring 4-cylinder, 20 horsepower engines today, historical estimates suggest that more than 15 million Model T’s were built and sold between 1908 and 1927, the last year the car was produced.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIRE FOR YOUR VEHICLE AND SEASON Motorists spend hours behind the wheel and spend lots of money on maintenance to ensure their vehicles are in top working order. But tires are one area of maintenance that often goes unchecked, even by the most diligent automobile owners. Tires undergo a lot of wear and tear, which only highlights the importance of proper tire maintenance. But many drivers do not give tires a passing thought until there is a problem, such as a flat or excessive wear. Also, some drivers think that all tires are the same, failing to realize that the kind of tires vehicles need depends on various factors. In addition to the size and type of vehicle, drivers should consider the type of driving they do and the driving conditions they routinely encounter before choosing tires for their vehicles. Many vehicles come off the lot with all-season passenger tires because these tires are among the most versatile. However, if you live in a particular climate or do a lot of driving that requires specific traction or maneuverability, all-season tires may not be the best bet. The following are descriptions of common tire types and the conditions in which they might make the best fit.

All-season All-season tires provide all-season versatility, good wear and ride comfort. They can be dependable tires and offer light snow traction as well. All-season tires provide adequate protection in many conditions, but do not offer specific benefits in any one area. They’re likely to be satisfactory for a vast array of drivers. Allseason tires are typically offered in touring and passenger types. Touring will provide lower road noise and better handing, while passenger varieties offer a smooth ride and longevity. Summer tires Summer tires are designed to offer traction and maneuverability in warm weather. Orbital grooves and complex treads maximize traction in hot, humid weather. If you live in an area where the temperature is consistently steamy, summer tires may be a good investment.

how many miles you can drive on a full tank of gas. If that gas mileage is suddenly slipping and you find yourself visiting the filling station more frequently, then it might be time to replace your air filter. • Engine light: Drivers may be alerted to engine issues when the “Check engine” lights up on the vehicle’s dashboard. This light may come on to indicate a problem with the air filter, as clogged air filters reduce air flow to the engine, resulting in an imbalanced air-fuel mixture that adversely affects the engine. • Starting and idling problems: Vehicles sometimes don’t start up as smoothly as they once did, and drivers may also notice vehicles are not idling smoothly. These symptoms may indicate misfiring spark plugs that are being

INDICATORS ITʼS TIME TO CHANGE YOUR AIR FILTERS Vehicle maintenance can protect drivers’ investments and help their automobiles run efficiently. One area drivers should pay particular attention to is their vehicles’ air filters. When operating at optimal capacity, an air filter improves fuel efficiency while ensuring vehicles accelerate smoothly without taxing the engine. But when air filters are clogged, fuel efficiency is reduced and emissions are increased, a 1-2 punch that costs motorists money and hurts the planet at the same time. Drivers can check their owners’ manuals to determine the recommended intervals to replace air filters, but the following are a handful of indicators that suggest it’s time to change them. • Gas mileage: Unless you just purchased your vehicle, you likely know

polluted (and made less effective) by a dirty air filter that is reducing the flow of air to the engine. • Acceleration diﬃculties: Automobiles that are operating at peak capacity accelerate quickly. But dirty, worn out air filters adversely affect acceleration. Drivers who notice that their cars are struggling to accelerate when stoplights turn green or on highways may need to replace their vehicles’ air filters. • Dirty air filter: Perhaps the biggest indicator that an air filter needs to be replaced is the filter itself. If you cannot find the air filter on your own, consult your vehicle owner’s manual to determine where it is. Once you find the air filter, examine it in broad daylight. Clean air filters are white, so if the filter has darkened, it may need to be replaced.

A Page Dedicated To Our Four-Footed Fuzzy Children.

Cat on a Leash DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I was at the park across the street the other day and saw my neighbor there. Get this: She was walking her cat. With a collar and leash. I didn’t know that was even possible, but the cat looked pretty content. How did my neighbor do that? — Gerry in San Diego DEAR GERRY: It’s something you’ll probably see more of, especially in cities and anywhere that pet owners live in smaller spaces with indoor cats. Bringing one’s cat outside on a leash allows it to roam around outside, supervised, for a little while each

day. Naturally, most cats don’t take well to a leash and collar setup. A collar, when tugged on by the leash, can be really uncomfortable for cats. So cat owners should use a harness instead, which is more comfortable and stays secure when properly put on. Getting the cat into the harness may take a little time, but with repeated sessions and lots of rewards, many cats get comfortable enough with the harness to walk around (rather than flop down and play de ad until it’s removed, for example). Walking a cat is done only to get it outside, exploring the landscape. Cats don’t typically go pee or poop on command, and rarely in strange places, so don’t expect that to happen — the litter box needs to stay in place. And you won’t see them heeling or doing tricks on command either. That’s more of a dog

YOUTHBUILD OF JEFFERSON AND MARION COUNTIES RECEIVES $1.1M GRANT YouthBuild of Jefferson and Marion Counties, a p r o g r a m o f Un i t e d Methodist Children’s Home, has been awarded a $1.1M grant from US Department of Labor. Youthbuild has been serving young adults in Jefferson and Marion counties since 2006 and they are an asset to the community. “It is an honor to be awarded the top amount from the US Department of Labor’s YouthBuild grant once again. Our program has an incredible success rate, with over 85% of our

youth graduating with their GED/HSE and a certification in either construction or healthcare. Most all of them are finding jobs immediately after graduation. We will begin taking applications in late fall or early December for our next cohort of students,” says Sarah Usery, UMCH Vi c e P r e s i d e n t o f Community Services. The current YouthBuild cycle will wrap up in October, with 23 participants completing the program. There will be a graduation ceremony on

October 26. Sixteen participants will have earned their GED, and will choose either a nursing or construction track to add further training and certification to their experience in the program. One of the largest aspects of the Youthbuild program is the way they give back to the community while learning a skill. This cohort did an extensive amount of work rehabbing a home at 2027 Casey Avenue in Mt. Vernon. This house will be listed for sale around Thanksgiving, after com-

pletion. We are excited to be fully funded for another two years, and hope to help many more young people complete their education and become active, working members of this community. For more information about the YouthBuild program, please call Ryan Alton or Cheryl Young at 618-242-6723 in Mt. Vernon, or 618-533-5288 in Centralia. According to a press release from the Department of Labor: The U.S. Department of

Labor announced today the award of $80.3 million in YouthBuild grants to nonprofit organizations in 35 states to help young people struggling to reach key educational and career milestones and to equip themselves to be successful in the workforce and engaged in their communities. YouthBuild is a community-based, alternative education program that provides job training and educational opportunities for at-risk youth, ages 16-24. The grants announced today range from approximately $700,000 to $1.1 million each and will fund 77 YouthBuild programs. U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez said, “YouthBuild provides young people with an important opportunity to gain the education and skills they need for good-paying jobs, while also helping t h e m b e c om e m ore engaged members of their communities. That can mean everything to a young person who didn’t get the easiest start in life.”

YouthBuild is a community-based alternative education program that provides classroom instruction and occupational skills training to youth ages 17 to 24 who have been in the juvenile justice system, are aging out of foster care, have dropped out of high school or are otherwise at-risk of failing to reach key educational and career milestones. The classroom training component leads to a high school diploma, general education development or other state-recognized equivalency diploma. The occupational skills training comp onent provides YouthBuild participants with industry-recognized certifications in construction or other in-demand occupations, such as health care and information technology. Leadership development and community service are also key elements of the YouthBuild program, helping to ensure that participants maintain a connection to their communities through public service and volunteerism.

SHIMKUS BACKS BILLS TARGETING IRANIAN CASH PAYMENTS, ASSETS C ongressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) backed two House-passed bills this week to prohibit any future cash payments to Iran and to bring transparency to the Islamic Republic’s corrupt financial dealings. “According to President O b a m a’s o w n S t at e Department, Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism,” said Shimkus. “Under no circumstances should the United States send Iran cash that can and will be used to fund acts of terror against civilians, our troops or our allies.” H.R. 5931, which passed the House on Thursday with bipartisan support, would prohibit the United States from making any cash payments to Iran until the President certifies that Iran is not a primary money laundering concern or a state sponsor of terrorism. The bill reiterates that it is the policy of the United States Government not to pay ransom or release prisoners for the purpose of securing the release of

United States citizens taken hostage abroad. “When we think of our nation’s efforts to stop terrorism, we often imagine airstrikes in Iraq or special forces in Afghanistan,” continued Shimkus. “Those military campaigns are important, but we must also target the flow of money that funds terrorist organizations and operations.” H.R. 5461, which passed the House on Wednesday with even greater bipartisan support, would require the Treasury Secretary to develop and post online a list estimating the “funds and assets” held by senior Iranian political and military leaders, along with a description of how they acquired the assets and what those assets are used for. This report would be posted on the Treasury Department’s website in English, but also translated into the three main languages used inside Iran, and would be available in any of those forms in a way that is easy to download and share.
