What a week, starting with last Tuesday's vice presidential debate on October 4 between Tim Kaine and Mike Pence. After watching the whole thing, I found Tim Kaine to be the perfect running mate for Hillary Clinton. He was rude, arrogant and obnoxious, all rolled up in one. Clinton and Kaine are indeed two peas in a pod, as my grandmother would say. The whole evening showed Kaine to be exactly what I expected of someone that would run on the same ticket with Clinton. The mind blower of the evening was when the statement was made that Hillary Clinton was the best one to beat terrorism. Go figure! Hillary Clinton was part of the team in the Barack Obama administration when ISIS came to be, and all this administration did was create more problems by not dealing with reality, drawing their red lines, and calling this murderous pack of Muslim extremists nothing more than a JV team. At this point all I have to say is they are one hell of a JV team. But back to the debate. Mike Pence, Donald Trump's running mate, was the only grown-up in the room and far superior to Kaine. Next up from last week... Monday at a rally in Michigan came the awkward moment when on a rare occasion a Clinton told the truth, and that was on Obamacare. Even though there has been much criticism on the Affordable Care Act, the last criticism came from an unexpected individual, Bill Clinton. He said, "You've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half, and it's the craziest thing in the world." Then he went on to say, "But the people getting killed in this deal are the small

business people and individuals who make just a little bit too much to get any of these subsidies." But adding to Clinton's remarks, let me personally assure you many of those that do qualify and that are getting Obamacare aren't getting any kind of bargain, and yes, I'm saying proper care. I'm so glad Bill Clinton recognizes this administration's mess that his wife is part of. Now on to Donald Trump's indefensible comments. But I will point out these comments were made in 2005 and the liberal media has certainly taken advantage of that to keep the focus off their girl, especially in the same time frame comments from Hillary Clinton have surfaced where she said she couldn't identify with the average person because of the fortune she and Bill enjoy and that her dream is to welcome open borders and open trade. Oh, and let's not forget her statement that Wall Street would best know how to fix Wall Street. People, open borders and open trade will be the kiss of death for America as we know it! So surely if the bought and paid for liberal media can flush out a disgusting old locker room tape on Donald Trump, they can track down the missing 33,000 emails — some putting our national security in jeopardy — that Hillary Clinton lost. The question now popping up: Is there time to replace Donald Trump on the ticket? The answer is NO. In the end on this subject, I'm not defending Trump's statement from 11 years ago, but my question is how can anyone defend Hillary Clinton who is as corrupt as they come! The bottom line is I'm much more concerned about what Hillary Clinton has done than what Donald Trump has said, even though I don't like what he has said and wish he hadn't. Donald Trump did apologize

for his lewd comment, but I don't recall any apology from Bill or Hillary to Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Gennifer Flowers or any of the other women that were abused by Bill Clinton, as well as Hillary Clinton and her threats. Nor do I recall Hillary Clinton apologizing to the four families of those that died in Benghazi. And that's just a start. On to Sunday night's second presidential debate in St. Louis, MO, which was a town hall format. The first question to Trump out of the box was on the locker room banter; he handled it well and took full responsibility. Then it went to Clinton, and of course, in typical Clinton fashion, she went on the attack and talked about him not apologizing. Then on the missing emails, her answer to destroying classified email was that it was a mistake. That's not good enough. When asked about her public and private views she skirted the issue, and said (amazing, her favorite phrase) "I don't remember" or "As I recall." Again as the night rolled on, Hillary took credit, as she has a number of times, for children having insurance. This wasn't her bill but Ted Kennedy's. The whole debate went in the same fashion. Who won the back and forth bantering? At the close, I think Donald Trump stopped the bleeding; she didn't knock him out. He's still in the race! If you listened to Fox News Tuesday morning, Trump won. If you watched and listened to CNN, MSNBC, ABC or NBC, Hillary won! In my opinion, it was a draw. The nastiest in this race is the liberal media. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

n what world is it permissible or wise to allow foxes and wolves to be in control of chicken farms? No political party—ruling or otherwise—should be in charge of reorganizing and manipulating voting districts. Only a completely impartial entity, which has no hatchets to hone or has no need for feathers to adorn their headwear, should have the authority to reorganize voting districts. Not only is it a conflict of interests for political parties to reorganize their districts, it is a discriminatory practice. Supposedly, the constitution of the United States is meant to discourage discrimination and promote unbiased fairness. Evidently, judges,

THE ROCK FAMILY LIFE CENTER BREAKS GROUND IN CENTRALIA BY DOUG GUNTER

Recently, The Rock Church located at 515 Airport Road, Centralia, broke ground on a new addition. The Rock Family Life Center, a 19,000 square foot building, will contain a gym, dining area, kitchen, classrooms, stage, rest rooms and a game room. The motivation behind this addition was to create a place for kids and teens in the community to enjoy w hi le maint aining a

Christian atmosphere. Administrative pastor Short Sledge will be heading up a national program, Upward Basketball League, a youth based basketball program that will operate in the new gym. Pastor Steve Upchurch expects completion in late spring of 2017. The Rock Church services are Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m., and Sundays at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

VIETNAM WAR GUNSHIP HIGHLIGHTS BALLOONS OVER MT. VERNON & FLY-IN The American Flight Museum’s Douglas AC-47 Gunship “Spooky” is the featured attraction of the 2016 Balloons Over Mt. Vernon Fly-In. The Douglas AC-47 was the first in a series of gunships developed by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. When ground forces called for close support, and light or medium attack aircraft could not complete the job, “Spookies” closed the gap. The AFM “Spooky” is restored as USAF A1C John Lee Levitow’s aircraft – “Spooky 71”. A1C Levitow, a Loadmaster, was awarded a Medal of Honor for action aboard “Spooky 71” on February 24th, 1969

over Tan Son Nhut Air Base. Levitow’s brave actions saved the lives of all ten crewmembers after the aircraft was hit by a mortar shell. “Spooky” is a flying museum dedicated to the air war over Vietnam. Ar-

tifacts and memorabilia from the Vietnam war are displayed throughout the cabin. A1C Levitow’s Medal of Honor and weapon are encased in the bulkhead between the cockpit and cabin. Sp o o k y j o i n s t h e

Douglas AD-5 ”Skyraider”, Cessna O2A “Bird Dog”, and a North American AT-6 WW2 Advanced Trainer on the flightline. Rides are available in the AT-6 Trainer and Robinson R-44 Helicopter. Call 2427016 for pricing and scheduling. The aircraft will form a special background for a Salute to Vietnam Veterans scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 15th. USAF Lt. Colonel Ted Buck (retired) will be the keynote speaker. After Colonel Buck’s address and a Rifle Salute/Taps by the American Legion Post #141 Honor Guard, a special flyover will honor all those lost in Vietnam. Organizers desire to capture a photo of all local Vietnam Veterans in front of the aircraft after the Salute.

ith hunting season upon us, a lot of you may pull your favorite guns from the safe and head afield. The last thing you need is to have your front bead on a pair of geese and have your favorite shotgun misfire, or miss a shot at the buck of a lifetime, and find your gun has jammed during your attempt to reload another round. Sound like a mechanical failure? Not this time. Remember last year after the annual Christmas Day hunt? It was cold and wet and you were tired. You decided to put the gun up and told yourself "I'll just clean it later." Well, later never came. Rust set in and gummed up the action. Been there, done that. Both my father and my drill instructors always told me, "A clean

weapon is a happy weapon." Proper firearm care means keeping it clean. After a day at the range or in the field, it never hurts to "field strip" your guns and clean the action and barrel. If you have a wood stock, it's a good idea to rub some "Tru-Oil" or other wood friendly cleaner on. Synthetic stocks just need a good wipe down with a clean rag. There are some great products to use for cleaning and maintaining your collection of firearms. The key is to use them. When it's time to pass those heirloom firearms down to the next generation, your children and grandchildren will thank you. Have a safe and successful hunting season!

ationally, one in three hunting injuries involves a tree stand. Falls from tree stands can be caused by a variety of factors, including a weakness in the stand’s structure and incorrect installation. Hunters also may fall asleep while on their stands. Tree stands can also be a factor in other hunting accidents, including injury from accidental firing of a loaded firearm while the hunter is climbing to the stand. To help prevent these accidents, follow these safety precautions: Never carry equipment with you while climbing. Use a haul line to raise or lower your gear. Make sure guns are unloaded and broadheads are covered prior to raising or lowering firearms or bows with a haul line. Since most accidents occur when hunters are climbing up or down a tree, always use a climbing belt. Always use a safety belt or harness when hunting from elevated tree stands. Study manufacturer’s recommendations before using any equipment. Never use a rope to replace a safety belt. Check permanent tree stands every year before hunting from them, and replace any worn or weak lumber. Read, understand and follow the factory recommended practices and procedures when installing

commercial stands. Inspect portable stands for loose nuts and bolts each time they are used. Choose only healthy, living trees when using climbing devices. Roughbarked trees such as oak are best. Do not use a tree that is rotten or has dead limbs. Never put all your weight on a single branch. Keep at least one hand and one foot on a secure place when reaching for the next hold. Climb higher than the stand and step down onto it. Climbing up onto it can dislodge it. Wear boots with nonskid soles, because steps or platforms can be slippery in rain, sleet or snow. Tell a dependable person where you’re hunting and when you plan on returning. Map your whereabouts and leave a note at camp, at home or in your car so that you can be found. Don’t fall asleep. This is a common cause of accidents. If you get drowsy, move your arms rapidly until you feel alert. Never wear a ring in any climbing situation. Rings can catch on tree limbs and equipment. As a precautionary measure, remove all logs, upturned and cutoff saplings, rocks and other obstructions on the ground below the tree stand. Use updated equipment. When used properly, newer tree stand equipment is solid, safe and secure. Older models of safety belts offer some protection, but newer safety harnesses offer more protection. Carry a whistle to call for help and carry a first aid kit, flashlight and cellular telephone in a fanny pack.

We Love Our Veterans!

It’s a long way from a palace in Egypt to a pasture in Midian. For 40 years Moses had been a shepherd of his father-in-law’s sheep in the desert. As Moses was tending to his sheep, he saw a burning bush that was not consumed. Drawing near, God spoke to him out of the burning bush. The Lord commissioned Moses to go back to Egypt and tell Pharaoh, “’Let my people go.’ Moses replied, ‘Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel and I shall say unto them the God of your fathers has sent me unto you’ and they shall say unto me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say unto them?’ And God said unto Moses, ‘I AM that I AM!’” (Exodus 3:1-14) What kind of name is “I AM that I AM”? What can we learn from the great I AM? I AM THAT I AM! In Hebrew this phrase means, “I am self-existent, I am the eternal God. I am the Father,

1. COMICS: What is the name of Batman's butler? 2. LITERATURE: Who is the leader of the wolves in "The Jungle Book"? 3. GEOGRAPHY: Which two islands in the Mediterranean Sea are governed by Italy? 4. U.S. PRESIDENTS: Who was president during World War I? 5. HISTORY: What was the name of the airship that ex-

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” He reveals, “I am the cause of all things. I shall be what I shall be. I shall cause what I shall cause to be.” God was saying nothing happens by accident, but only by His divine will and wisdom. God was saying, “No man will be able to fully comprehend or fathom Me.” I AM JESUS! In the scripture we see Jesus throughout. Jesus made an eye-opening, jaw-dropping declaration, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58) John’s gospel further revealed, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (John 1:1-4) Moses saw the angel of the Lord in the burning bush. “And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire

out of the midst of the bush.” (Exodus 3:2) The angel of the Lord was the Redeeming Angel – Jesus Christ himself, the pre-incarnate Christ. Moses worshipped him. The Lord revealed the true name of the living God to Moses, not YHWH, but “Yeshua” – Jesus, the name we can all call upon. Once you see Jesus you can never be the same. Paul saw Him in a blinding light on t h e ro a d t o Damascus and he was never the same. (Acts 9:3-5) I AM’S OF JESUS. In the gospel of John, Jesus repeated, “I AM” seven different times. “I AM the resurrection. I AM the way. I AM the bread of life. I AM the truth. I AM the life. I AM the light of the world. I AM the first and the last.” Jesus is constantly who He says He is and He never changes. You can rest secure in the One who is the Great I AM. I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. (John 6:3035) The Jewish people knew the story of God’s provision of

manna from heaven for their forefathers. In the New Testament Jesus multiplied the bread and fish for the crowd in the wilderness and miraculously fed over 5,000 people. But Jesus revealed to those clamoring for a miraculous sign that He was the Bread of Life, who alone could satisfy their spiritual hunger. (John 6:30-35) Jesus then made it very clear concerning the difference between the bread of Moses and the Bread of Life. “Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.” (John 6:47-55) Jesus was referring to His atoning sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world. A business card that I often hand out says, “If you don’t like the way the cookie crumbles, TRY THE BREAD OF LIFE – JESUS.” Jesus is the Great I AM. He is everything you need in life.

Cooking With Lizzie

Fall Harvest Desserts

During the fall harvest, it's apple and pear picking season. Apples and pears are peeled and sliced for tarts and turnovers. Over the years I've had plenty of both, but the last few years my old pear tree that over the years has produced enough to keep family members well supplied with sweet, delicious pears has stopped producing. This year not one pear hit the ground. But thank goodness there's still plenty of apples. Some of my favorite recipes are below.

Cider Sweet Apple Pie

You can cook any apple, but the Stayman Winesap, the Red Rome and the Granny Smith are some of the finest cooking apples. You can't miss the tart apple flavor in this pie because it also contains apple cider. Double-Crust Pie Pastry, unbaked (below) 1/2 cup sugar 2 T. cornstarch 1 T. unsalted butter or margarine 1 tsp. sugar for sprinkling 7½ cups peeled, cored and sliced cooking apples (8 to 9 apples)

1 cup plus 2 T. apple cider, plus extra 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. milk

Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of pastry and set aside. Combine 1 cup apple cider, 1/2 cup sugar, and brown sugar in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Add apples, and cook, uncovered, 8 minutes, or until apples are tender. Drain, reserving syrup. Add enough additional apple cider to syrup to measure 1⅓ cups liquid; return syrup mixture and apples to saucepan. Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine cornstarch and 2 T. apple cider, stirring well; add to apple mixture. Stir in cinnamon; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Stir in butter. Spoon mixture into prepared pie plate. Cover with top pastry. Trim edges of pastry; seal and flute edges. Cut slits in tip of pastry to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pastry lightly with milk. Sprinkle top of pastry with 1 tsp. sugar. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, shielding edges with foil if pastry browns too quickly.

Double-Crust Pie Pastry

3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup solid vegetable shortening

1 tsp. salt 3/4 cup cold half-and-half

Combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in shortening with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cold half-and-half evenly over surface, stirring with a fork, until all dry ingredients are moistened. Shape dough into a ball; chill. Divide dough in half. Roll each half of dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and proceed with recipe.

Apple Dumplings

During lean times, Southern cooks were known to be frugal. But an abundance of apples and leftover pastry scraps meant apple dumplings could be made — a real treat! Dough: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup ice water Filling: 3 large, firm, tart cooking apples 3 tsp. brown sugar Syrup: 2 cups water 3 T. unsalted butter or margarine 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

2 tsp. sugar 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening 1 egg, beaten

6 tsp. unsalted butter or margarine 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon 1½ cups sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

To make the dough, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in shortening and butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine egg and ice water; gradually add to flour mixture, stirring with a fork to make a soft dough. Cover and chill 1 hour. On a floured surface, roll pastry out into a 21- x 14-inch rectangle; cut into six 7-inch squares. Peel and core apples; cut in half, crosswise. Place one apple half (cut side down) in center of each pastry square; dot each with 1 tsp. butter. Sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp. of the brown sugar and 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon. Moisten edges of each dumpling with a little water; bring corners to center, pinching edges to seal. Use any extra pastry to make decorative leaf designs, if desired. Place the dumpling in a 13- x -9 x 2-inch baking dish; set aside. Preheat oven to 450°F. To make the syrup: Combine the water, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until butter melts and sugar dissolves; set aside. Bake dumplings, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and pour syrup mixture over the dumplings. Bake 30 minutes more, basting occasionally. Yield: 6 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.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Someone from your past could arrive with welcome news concerning your future. Meanwhile, avoid taking sides in a workplace confrontation until you have more facts to go on. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A decision about a relationship could have longer-lasting consequences than you might imagine, so be sure of your facts before you act. A trusted friend can help. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A strained relationship could be restored with more personal contact between the two of you. Letting others act as your go-between only adds to the ongoing estrangement. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) New facts could mean taking a new path toward a goal you’ve been hoping to reach. However, be sure all your questions are answered before you undertake to shift directions. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good week for all you fine Felines to turn your attention to some important considerations, such as your health, your job situation and the status of important relationships. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid making a quick decision about a matter that needs more study. Keep your mind open for possibilities, even if they don’t seem plausible — at least not yet. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might welcome the emphasis on openness in relationships that mark

this period. But it’s a good idea to avoid sharing personal secrets with people you hardly know. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some questions that need to be asked and answered before you can feel confident enough to make a potentially life-changing decision. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some lingering effects from a now largely resolved workplace confrontation could make things difficult for you. Act on this before it becomes serious. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You feel you’re finally in control of your own life after months of making compromises and concessions you never felt comfortable with. Congratulations. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) No sooner do you decide to pass on one job offer than another suddenly turns up. This one might not have everything you’re looking for, but it’s worth checking out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. With Jupiter’s strong influence dominating this week, don’t be surprised to get some good news about a troubling financial matter. BORN THIS WEEK: You are usually kind and loving. But you can be highly critical of those who don’t measure up to your high standards. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
