Every once in awhile we would muster the guts to call him up, but it was a long-distance call and the wait times could be long, so we stopped. Soon, along came a 24-hour sports radio station with a 1-800 number, so we gradually drifted over to that station. Oh, and we made calls, too. We often would call Howie Rose, now the Mets and Islanders announcer, and each time we would give him a running count of how we were "long-time listeners (the show had been on less than a month), 27th time caller." Oh, how zany we were. Nowad ays, I love Michael Kay's interview show, and without a doubt, the funniest sports talk show I have ever heard has been in Dallas, where the morning crew at The Ticket keep me in stitches. YouTube "Donald Trump vs. Mark Cuban" or "Michael Irvin's School Closing" and you'll see what I mean. Classic stuff. Art Rust, Jr. slipped this vale of tears in 2010, joining his beloved Edna in the great ball orchard in the sky. His sign off is something I will never forget, and it works aptly here: "Yesterday's a canceled check, tomorrow is a promissory note and today is all the time we have, so spend it wisely."

Just once, I would like to hear someone call in to a sports-radio talk show and announce that he's a "first time listener, last time caller" and then proceed to unleash a torrent of criticism regarding whatever topic comes to mind. I suppose that it's meant as some sort of flattery toward the host of the show, but I'm thinking it means something else, a deep-seated need for attention from the guy behind the microphone. What else could it possibly be? And, you know, the caller gets the attention he craves because what's the host gonna say? He's gonna say "thank you" because the listeners are the ones who make his job possible. As a kid, I grew up listening to "Art Rust, Jr. Sports Talk" on 770 WABC in New York. The guy was a living encyclopedia of sports (and jazz) knowledge. His show began in 1981, when he was supposed to do a pre-game intro duction of the Yankees game. Then, when the players went on strike,

In 2015, Texas pitcher Yovani Gallardo became the fourth native of Mexico to win at least 100 majorleague games. Name two of the first three to do it. 3. In what sport other than football is legendary running back Jim Brown a member of a Hall of Fame?

WABC made perhaps one of the best decisions in modern radio history by keeping him on the air for three hours straight, "talking about sports" with his lone producer, Steve Malzberg (himself now a successful broadcaster). And he was the only sports talk radio show in the entire tri-state area. That's inconceivable in today's world. Wi t h o u t " A r t h u r George," as he called hims elf, I probably wouldn't be a sports writer or journalist. He would weave stories about Sonny Liston, Ali and Rocky Marciano seamlessly into yarns about Joe DiMaggio and George Selkirk. He made me understand the intricacies of baseball far better than any coach I ever had. We always knew who listened, too. When we played football in the backyard, a good quarterback was really able to "fling that leather." A great wiffleball pitcher could "hum that rock," and a Mark Vasto is a veteran home-run hitter could sportswriter who lives in always be counted on to New Jersey.

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, lawyers, and politicians have a different view. Larry W.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

The Great I Am 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, 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

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area 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 the road to 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 6:30-35) The Jewish people knew the story of God’s provision of manna from heaven for their forefa-

thers. 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 6:3035) 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.

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.

The City of Centralia has been divided into eight sections. One home in each section, along with one local business, will be presented with this honor during the months of May through December. This award is to those contributing to the beautification of their neighborhood. This year’s committee will make their tours around the city to choose the homes and one business each month.

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

WEEKLY PAPERS www.theshoppersweekly.com

301 E. Broadway d • Centralia l 1-800-479-6323

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.

PAWS and claws A Page Dedicated To Our Four-Footed Fuzzy Children.

Who’s the Boss? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a large male dog, and so does my mother-inlaw. They have a history of fighting: Both dogs and my husband needed medical treatment after the last fight. We keep them separated, but would like to be able to put them and my mother-in-law’s two female dogs out at the same time. They are only aggressive with each other. We have been thinking of buying muzzles for the males and letting them get used to one another. What do you think? — J.S., via email DEAR J.S.: What’s going on here is aggression used

to gain dominance: Both dogs want to be the boss of the backyard. If the dogs only fight with one another, then this is a battle over territory. As long as they share the same space, even with muzzles on, they will fight. And if there are bitches in the area, they’ll fight even more. If neither dog will be used for breeding, seriously consider having them neutered; it will curb their aggression. If you choose not to have them neutered, or if they still show aggression after the procedure, you’ll have to keep them separated. When one male goes outside, the other must stay inside. Of course, the guy stuck inside will go nuts if he knows his archenemy is running around “his” territory, so draw the shades and close the doors. In the meantime, distract your dog’s attention

Hunting

Wednesday, October 12, 2016

Fishing

SPECIAL SECTION

LET'S KEEP 'EM CLEAN By Robert Deeds

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!

TEACHING YOUR CHILD GUN SAFETY upland hunting for last. It requires walking with a loaded gun for long periods as well as split-second shoot-or-don't-shoot decisions.

unting and shooting have low accident rates precisely because we rightly place so much emphasis on gun safety. Although hunting should be fun, teaching kids to be safe shooters doesn't call for much sense of humor. Treat the topic seriously, and children will respond to the gravity in your voice. Demystify Guns Young boys, especially, find guns fascinating. Keeping guns forbidden and mysterious only increases their allure. Let your kids handle your guns with your permission and under your supervision. Show them how to check whether the chamber and magazine are empty. Let them point the gun in a safe direction. Teach them now that the only time they are ever to touch a trigger is when they want the gun to go off. Take them to the gun club, where they will see targets smashed to bits. Show them the bloody holes your guns put into the animals you bring home. A friend likes to impress new shooters with the power of firearms by shooting a cantaloupe at 10 paces with a 12-gauge. The distinction between real and toy guns will be as clear as the difference between real and toy cars. Give Them A BB Gun Owning a BB gun can teach children good safety habits or bad ones. Kids of your generation might have roamed the woods with Red Ryders and no parental supervision, but there's a better way. Give a child a BB gun a year

or so before he or she is ready to start shooting .22s and 20-gauges. Store it with your guns and make a point of treating it like a real gun—which it is. Let your young hunter bring it along, unloaded, on short hunts with you. Insist that he carry it with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Pack a few BBs along for some safe target shooting at the end of the day.

will be scrupulously careful about muzzle control until they fire a shot. In the excitement of hearing the gun go off, they will turn to you, swinging the gun, or drop it down so it points at their toes. If the gun is empty, it's a teachable moment, not a potential tragedy. Insist on eye and ear protection, and emphasize its importance by always wearing it yourself.

Spend Time At The Range The more often you take your children shooting, the more practiced they'll become in handling guns safely. At the range, insist that muzzles point up, down, or downrange—always. Keep control of the ammunition yourself, and dole out shells one at a time. Kids

Pick First Hunts Carefully Your first real hunts should be for squirrels, waterfowl, deer, turkeys, or doves, sedentary hunts where the game comes to you. Leave your own gun at home. Sit right with your hunter, whispering advice and giving the go-ahead to take the safety off and shoot. Save

Lead By Example You're trying to instill lifelong safety habits, and nothing you say speaks as loudly as your own actions when you and your child hunt together. Handle your own guns with extra emphasis on safety. While we're at it, boats, ATVs, tree stands, and motor vehicles can be just as deadly as guns if used carelessly. Your young hunter will learn all about them by watching you.

CRAPPIE CAN BE FOUND YEAR ROUND AT CARLYLE LAKE

men. Fiberglass extension poles 8 to 12 feet long, fly rods, and cane poles are the types of rods generally used.

oth white and black crappie are found throughout Carlyle Lake. However, it is the bays with stickups, river and creek channels, bottomland lakes, and rock rip-rap areas that generally produce the better catches as they like an abundance of cover that also offers shade. There are no striking differences in the habits of these two species; however, it appears black crappie seem to prefer stump or heavy brush areas more than the white crappie.

These species spawn in April and May. Fishing success deteriorates during the summer months as they move into deeper water. Anglers who can locate the crappie in their deeper haunts will find that these fish can be caught even during the summer. Minnows and jigs, or a combination of the two, are the most popular baits. Both can be fished in a variety of ways. Long shanked wire hooks, No. 6 to No. 2, are the most common sizes used by minnow fisher-

ing. Tailwater fishermen prefer to use small 1/16th or 1/32nd ounce jigs with light rods; retrieving the jigs slowly over the rock rip-rap. At other times, a long cane or fiberglass pole rigged with a minnow or jig and a small bobber is the best way to catch crappie. The bait or lure is allowed to drift with the current and jigged frequently to entice the fish into hitting. Crappie fishing is generally best in the lake from mid-March to mid-June and again from mid-September to mid-November. Since crappie are sight feeders, periods of good fishing are usually determined by water turbidity and temperature (50Â° to mid 70Â°). In the tailwater, crappie are caught every month of the year except for periods of bitter cold or sweltering heat. Occasionally, good ice fishing for crappie occurs in the bottomland lakes and creeks north of the B.N. railroad during the winters where there is a solid ice cover of six inches or more. During these chilly times, crappie will usually be found at depths of five feet or less in and around brush. Ice fishing is done with small minnows or larvae of insects (mousies, waxworm, goldenrod grub, corn borer, etc.) usually in combination with an artificial ice fly.

hether it’s for salmon or trout, fishing can seem like a pointless, futile endeavor to an outsider. Why stand around for hours on end casting a pole into the water when you can just go to the store and buy some fish? Why take the time and energy to drive out to the lake or stream and get dirty in pursuit of something already at your supermarket? For many, fishing is their primary source of recreation, and there are many reasons why fishing is worth the time and effort it takes to be involved. Fishing is easy to get into. More and more, there are regulations surrounding the kind of bait and the quantity of fish you can catch, but if you’ve got a pole, some bait and a body of water with fish in it, you’ve got everything you need to go fishing. Most big box retailers have fishing sections that can outfit you within an hour, and there are lots of resources in print and online that can provide you with the basics you need to get started. Fishing is relaxing. By its nature, fishing requires patience and repeated activity. It requires you to sit in one place for a while. For many people who fish regularly, this is the best aspect of a fishing trip — spending time without the demands of traffic, family, phone calls or work. The primary obli-

gation when fishing is to sit down and wait, which gives many people an expanse of time difficult to find outside of the woods. Because you are outdoors for long periods of time, fishing can put you in better touch with nature. You’ll have time to notice things that you otherwise wouldn’t — the birds, the trees, the way the river flows. You’ll also be locked in a battle with Mother Nature, trying to sleuth out the best spot and learning about the ways that fish move in the lake or stream. When you catch fish, you can get an upclose look at them, even if you are releasing them. If you are taking them home, you’ll be as close as you can get to the source of your food supply, something that doesn’t happen often these days. Fishing gives you time to connect with people. You can talk with your family or friends about the best fishing spots, the right kinds of gear, the best times of day or any of the other intricacies of fishing without having to worry about the contentious issues or divisive topics within your circle. A fishing trip, whether for a morning, a day or a week, gives you the opportunity to share new experiences with a close knit group and can give you communal adventures that can strengthen friendships and family ties.

Fishing can also give you quiet time away. If you lead a hectic life, there’s no reason why you can’t pick up your pole and head out on a we eke nd mor n i ng , leaving the worries of the world behind as you step into a serene setting. Time disconnected from the always-on world is getting harder to come by. Fishing allows you a reason to turn off your cell phone and step away from the world for a little while. There are a lot of reasons why people choose to spend their recreational time fishing — and why you might start. It’s an easy hobby that forces you to sit down, relax and take a

look around you. If you’re interested, locate your nearest fishing hole and cast a line today.

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.

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.
