The Way Things Ought to Be With everyone racking their brains about the perceived problem of shrinking NFL T V ratings, we now get to shift our focus to the flawed NCAA playoff rankings. But why stop there? There are plenty of things in the sporting world that need to be addressed. Here are a few I will toss out there: 1. Tim Tebow needs to try out for every major sport. This is a no-brainer. Everyone knows that Tim Tebow is a superior athlete and a virtuous Christian. That is why he must always be set up for martyrdom, so we can talk about how teams don't understand the righteous talent they are sitting on. It doesn't matter that he's only hitting .149 for the Mets' fall instructional league team, he probably sells more jerseys than most of the Mets big-league players combined. Surely he could be a center on the Blue Jacket's checking line, or a power forward for the Brooklyn Nets. It

might hurt to watch, but that means it's working. 2. Every NFL team has to wear black (or pink). Studies show that teams wearing black are more aggressive. That study, no doubt commissioned by the circa 1970s tangerineorange mustachioed Tampa Bay Buccaneer, has taken hold of the league because black keeps creeping into color schemes. The only exception can be made for the Eagles, but only if they switch their color back to Kelly Green. Philadelphians shouldn't be made to wear Forest Green, sorry. 3. Nick Saban needs to trash every other team's offensive scheme at press conferences, then destroy that team by mastering the offensive scheme he just trashed. It started with the run option, but something tells me that Saban would win if he ran nothing but wildcats or fake punts on every first down. This is a good thing, because Saban's idea of a perfect game would b e Alabama scoring every quarter and beating LSU 8-0, all safe-

ties. 4. Pete Rose and Alex Rodriguez need to do postgame analysis for every baseball game. When A-Rod isn't namechecking Andy Pettite (which almost never happens) or using multisyllabic words, Pete Rose is there to make fun of him or tease him about Derek Jeter's inspiring play. The matchup of those two plus Frank Thomas is a thing of beauty. You can just picture a bunch of drunken FOX execs coming up with the idea ... "No! Wait! Pete Rose has to wear a bow-tie!" then still going with the idea the next morning. 5. The Cubs needed to lose the World Series. The world needed the Cubbies to lose. They were the last team clinically proven to break hearts. Look at what happened to Red Sox fans. They used to be the quirky losers, now they're just obnoxious without the charm (Fenway Park notwithstanding). Look at how miserable hockey fans are having been robbed of the joy that was chanting "1940" to Ranger fans. Oh well, Wrigley Field is still only place where singing "take me out to the ballgame" in the vocal style of Daffy Duck can be considered cool (but only when Bill Murray does it).

America Is Not a Safe Space Pity the anti-Trump protesters thronging the streets of American cities. Apparently, no one ever told them that they live in a geographically, economically and ideologically varied nation, and that about half of its inhabitants might support a Republican candidate for president. They mistook the country for the campus of Oberlin College. The news that it actually isn't arrived with the force of a thunderclap on Nov. 8. The shock of Donald Trump's election has occasioned tears, rending of garments and days of protests showcasing the rank infantilism of the American left. Prior to the election, liberal commentators obsessed over Trump's rumblings about not accepting the outcome and worried about his supporters lashing out. But the specter of Republican mayhem was always farfetched. When was the last time that GOP protesters ran

out of control and burned down local business establishments? Tea-party rallies were famous for their orderliness -- participants in a massive rally on the Mall in Washington, D.C., even picked up their own trash. It is left-wing protests that invariably devolve into law breaking, and so it was that the same kids who think Donald Trump is too divisive were soon smashing windows and throwing projectiles at police in behalf of their supposedly more open-minded vision of America. The level of self-awareness of the protesters isn't high. Some hold signs reading "This is what democracy looks like." It is true that the right to peaceful assembly is a key aspect of any liberal democracy (even if some protesters need to work on the "peaceful" part), but as an illustrative exercise in democracy, you can't beat the national election that has so outraged anti-Trump protesters. They have now adopted the slogan "Not my president," a phrase that the day before yesterday the left considered a racist slur when hurled at President Barack Obama. The post-election mayhem could be written off as the work of an unruly fringe, if it weren't that the Democratic Party is so beholden to the sensibilities of its cosseted

youth, whom it mistakes for the shock troops of the future. A party that considers it forbidden to say "all lives matter" because it will offend the enforcers of political correctness is a party that is going to have trouble appealing to Middle America. One anti-Trump protester was seen the other day holding a sign reading "Your vote was a hate crime." It's hard to imagine a better distillation of the coercive smallmindedness that prevails on college campuses. This attitude ensures a state of perpetual shock and outrage at the lived reality of a continental nation of more than 300 million free men and women. The anti-Trump protests aim to associate the president-elect with chaos and delegitimize him from the outset. But it is fully in Trump's power, so long as he doesn't show irritation or anger, to see that they backfire. One petulant tweet aside, he has struck a unifying tone, while it is his adversaries who are unhinged. Trump's critics are certain that he is the champion of a blinkered worldview. But the election and its aftermath show that it is the self-styled citizens of the world who need to get out more. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Leftover Turkey and Sausage Gumbo

• 1 leftover turkey or other large bird (smoked is wonderful) • 1-3 celery ribs, chopped • 2 medium bell peppers, chopped • 2-3 cups medium roux (See recipe below)

• 2 pounds smoked pork sausage, sliced 1/2 inch thick • 1 cup chopped parsley • 2 cups chopped green onions • tobasco sauce to your liking • salt, to taste

Pull as much meat off the turkey as you can. Place the carcass in a large stockpot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and let simmer 1 - 1-1/2 hours. Remove the carcass and discard. Add the celery, onions and bell peppers and gradually stir in enough roux to make a medium-heavy gumbo (it should drip from a spoon without clinging). Stir in the salt, peppers, and sausage and let simmer for another hour. Add the turkey meat and let cook 15-20 minutes more. Remove from the heat, stir in the green onions and parsley, and serve in large bowls over rice. Serves 6 - 8.

Quick Roux Place the flour in a large plastic bowl that is easy to handle. Place the oil in a large heavy skillet over very high heat. Once it has begun to smoke heavily, whisk in a little flour — you must use a whisk for this method, because a spoon will not break up the lumps fast enough. The flour will begin to brown immediately. Continue to add flour. The idea is to control the temperature of the oil and therefore the darkness to which the flour cooks as it hits the oil, with the rate at which the flour is added. The faster you add the four, the less the flour will cook. So for a peanut-butter-colored roux you'll be adding the flour a lot faster than for a dark roux. One the roux has reached the desired color — using this method, any color will take only about 10 minutes — remove it form the heat and cool.

Microwave Roux Place the oil in a large microwave-proof bowl. Place it in a microwave oven set on high for about 10 minutes — until a bit of flour dropped in sizzles. Stir in the flour and continue to microwave at medium setting, stirring every 3 - 4 minutes. Peanut-butter-colored roux will take 20 - 30 minutes, medium 40 - 45 minutes, dark 60 - 70 minutes. Note: It is very important to use the largest bowl you microwave will hold, because the roux will rise as it microwaves until the flour has reached its cooking temperature. I have to admit there are times I substitute roux with filé that can be found in most grocery stores. Just follow the directions! Serve gumbo alongside or over steamed rice. *** My suggestion is, if you haven't used a roux – use filé. 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. Box 1223, Centralia, IL 62801 or email to: info@theshoppersweekly.com, (Subject - ATTN: Lizzie) Also, if you have a household problem, like a stubborn stain or a kitchen conundrum, drop us a line, our readers just might have your solution! I'm also interested in your general decorating or household tips. Send your message in a bottle and we might just publish it and enlighten our readers! Until next week, Au Revoir! —Elizabeth Fenton

The Power of Thanksgiving Ten lepers broke protocol and approached Jesus. They begged Jesus to show mercy and heal them. Jesus instructed them to go show themselves to the priest and as they went, they were instantly healed! One, a Samaritan, returned and fell at the feet of Jesus with thanksgiving. Jesus said, “’Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?’ And he said to him ‘Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.’” (Luke 17:11-19) All ten were healed. I wonder why Jesus told the leper who returned, “Your faith has made you well.” Could it be that Jesus was referring to his inner man? Thanksgiving brought faith for healing of spirit, soul, and body. (III John 1:2) As we look at scripture consider the power of thanksgiving. T HA N K S G I V I N G MAKES ONE A MORE POSITIVE AND HAPPY PERSON. Negative and critical people are not generally happy people. When you offer thanks to God and express appreciation to others you generate a positive, joyful attitude, and become a blessing and light up the atmosphere

1. Is the book of Lamentations in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. From Romans 11, of what tribe did Paul describe himself as a member? B enjamin,

around you. “A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” (Proverbs 17:22; I Thessalonians 1:2) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts . . . And be thankful . . . sing . . . with gratitude.” (Colossians 3:15-16) THANKSGIVING EXPRESSES APPRECIATION AND DEVELOPS A HEART OF GRATITUDE. Some people feel they are entitled to the things in life and become prideful. “Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened.” (Romans 1:21) A thankful heart can be developed by first thanking God. “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless His Holy name. And forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.” (Psalm 103:1-2) What about finding someone each day to sincerely express thanks and appreciation to? THANKSGIVING RELEASES FAITH AND POWER IN PRAYER. The Samaritan leper healed by Jesus experienced it. Paul instructs us to couple prayer with thanksgiving. “But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God.” (Philippians 4:6-7) Rome, Barnabus, Tarsus 3. In which "Garden of " did Adam and Eve live? Everest, Eden, Heaven, Paradise 4. From the Bible, what was Adam made of or from? Eve's rib, Earth's dust, Ray of light, Fig leaf 5. What's the Decalogue another name for? Ark of Covenant, Holy Grail, Ten Commandments, Last Supper 6. In Romans 5:6, Paul

We recently faced an expensive repair bill for our vehicle. It was stressful not having the available funds on hand, but when I applied thanksgiving with prayer God filled my heart and mind with His peace and assured me that He would meet the need. T HA N K S G I V I N G AND PRAISE, BRINGS YOU INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD. The psalmist tells us, “Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name.” (Psalms 100:4-5) What joy to come into His presence. T HA N K S G I V I N G CHANGES YOUR ATTITUDE AND RELEASES THE POWER AND PESENCE OF GOD INTO YOUR SITUATION. One of my life verses that has taken me through many dark valleys and mountains is I Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” David said, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1-3) This includes the good times and the bad times. Thanksgiving will bring the presence, the peace, and the power of God into your situation. If it doesn’t change your circumstances it will certainly change you. Be like the leper who returned to give thanks to the Lord. Ask God to help you develop the joyful power of thanksgiving.

Nuts also can be ground and used in baked goods or flavoring for Thanksgiving desserts. • Pumpkin and squash were plentiful in colonial times, and this is why these gourds are often included in Thanksgiving meals and decor. The flesh of a pumpkin or squash can be turned into casseroles or used to make quiche. • A traditional Thanksgiving meal for the early settlers would not have included potatoes. White potatoes originated in South America and sweet potatoes in the Caribbean. At the time of the first Thanksgiving, these would not yet have been introduced, as white

potato patches in North America were not established in the region until 1719, according to the potato resource Potato Goodness. • Because colonists did not have wheat flour and butter to make flaky tart crusts, pumpkin pie was not on the first Thanksgiving menu. In lieu of pumpkin pie, hosts can experiment with moist loaf breads or muffins made with pumpkin. The average Thanksgiving dinner table today looks quite different from the one the Wampanoag Indians and Pilgrims gathered around centuries ago. Families can stick closer to history and tailor their meals for a touch of something different this year.

Thanksgiving! documents refer to wildfowl and venison as foods appearing at the first Thanksgiving, but turkey was not mentioned. Home chefs can take a cue from those first pilgrims and choose less traditional offerings this Thanksgiving. The following are some ideas that are reminiscent of the first Thanksgiving. • If the flavor is more palatable, don’t hesitate to select another bird to grace the Thanksgiving table, such as a goose or even a chicken. Some people find turkey meat to be too dry, despite all of the different preparation methods. Chicken or goose may be more well-received and just as versatile. • Don’t overlook the possibility of serving fish and other seafood. Colonists and the Wampanoag probably ate eel, lobster, clams, and mussels. Fish can be dried, smoked and preserved. • Replace wheat-based recipes with those made from cornmeal, as maize was more likely available during colonial time than wheat. • Forests provided chestnuts, beechnuts and walnuts, so a platter of nuts paired with cheese or fruit also can

Low in fat, high in protein and an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, potassium and B vitamins, turkey makes a healthy addition to a person’s diet. Turkey also tends to be the star of the show on Thanksgiving and other holidays. Even though turkey can be a delicious addition to any holiday table, some people prefer to buck Thanksgiving tradition from time to time and divert focus from the golden gobbler. Even though turkey may b e s y n ony m ou s w it h Thanksgiving, hosts and hostesses should not shy away from serving something different. In fact, turkey may not even have been on the menu for the first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving dates back to New England in November 1621, when newly arrived Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians gathered for an autumn harvest celebration. It’s reported that pilgrims went on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the threeday feast. Although wild turkey was plentiful in the region, ducks, geese, passenger pigeons, and swans were common ly consume d. Historians at Smithsonian say

EASY THANKSGIVING IDEAS Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies. T h e Un ite d St ate s Department of Agriculture projects that Americans will throw away more than 200 million pounds of edible turkey meat this Thanksgiving holiday. And Thanksgiving typically ushers in a period of wastef u l n e ss , a s t h e U. S . Environmental Protection Agency says American households produce roughly 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than during the rest of the year. Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions. • Use fine china when serving meals. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to serve meals on fine china and use the silverware that has gone unused instead of disposable plates and utensils. In addition to adding a touch of elegance to meals, reusable china and silverware is less wasteful than paper plates and plastic utensils. Cloth napkins and other table linens are also more eco-friendly than paper napkins. • Decorate using natural items. Scour the great outdoors for all-natural center-

piece materials or other items that can be turned into wreaths and garlands. Vases filled with pine cones and acorns make for beautiful, inexpensive and festive decorations. • Shop locally and organically. When shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, choose local produce, poultry and grains whenever possible. Resist the urge to buy more than you need as well. Skip some of the less-popular dishes that are used only to make the table seem full. Buy a small turkey or think about only serving turkey breasts, which tend to be the most popular cuts of the bird. Use reusable shopping bags to carry items home and reduce waste even further. • Light candles and reduce energy consumption. During the meal, eat by candlelight and turn off lights in other areas of the home that are not in use. Rather than turning on the television, take the party outdoors and play a game of football on the front lawn. • Have a local Thanksgiving. Start a new tradition and invite nearby friends and family over for the holiday instead of traveling long distances. According to Use Less Stuff, a resource for eco-conscious men and women, if each family reduced gasoline consumption by one gallon (roughly 20 miles), they could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one million tons. • Send home the leftovers. Send each guest home with some leftovers if you have any. This way the refrigerator isn’t left full of items that will end up uneaten.

Otherwise, donate uncooked food to a local food bank. Use any scraps of vegetables in a compost pile. • Don’t let recycling fall by the wayside. Remember to recycle all applicable items. Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean recy-

cling habits should be forgotten. Encourage guests to pitch in by clearly marking recycling bins. Thanksgiving can be less wasteful without detracting from the enjoyment and true meaning of the holiday.

DID YOU KNOW? Designed to serve as the unofficial kickoff to the holiday charitable giving season, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States. While events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become incredibly popular among holiday shoppers looking for great deals on gifts for their loved ones, Giving Tuesday aims to capitalize on the holiday spirit of giving by celebrating philanthropy and promoting charitable giving. Giving Tuesday began in 2012 and was the brainchild of the team at the B elfer Center for

Innovation & Social Impact at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, which has brought people together around the values of service and giving since 1874. Nonprofits, civic organizations, for-profit businesses and corporations, individuals, and families have participated in Giving Tuesday since its inception. In 2015, with the cooperation of donors, volunteers and organizations in 71 countries, the Giving Tuesday movement raised nearly $117 million.

Learning Pet CPR DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Several years ago, I lost one of my dogs, “Corny,” to a sudden illness when he collapsed and stopped breathing. Not sure what to do, I rushed him to the nearby vet’s office, but they were unable to revive him. From that incident, I resolved never to feel so helpless if it should happen to one of my pets again. I learned the basics of pet CPR from that vet, and have since taken online courses to learn more and to stay up to date on changes in performing pet CPR. I urge every pet owner to

DEAR JANINE: Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I know the loss of Corny must have been heart-wrenching ... it’s incredibly difficult to lose a part of your family. Learning CPR is indeed a way to bring a little more assurance to pet owners that they can do something when their pet falls ill. Performing CPR — breathing for your pet, performing chest compressions if the heart has stopped — during the rush to the emergency vet can make a big difference in the outcome. CPR methods vary between species, of course, and between different sizes

Funding for this grant was awarded by Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good time to let that intrepid Aries temperament take charge. Your strong leadership will help settle those still-unresolved situations. Support comes from a surprising source. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your problem-solving talents shine as you move to cool down heated emotions. You also inspire trust in all parties when you act with careful consideration of their feelings. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That long-delayed commitment begins to look better to you. But there’s still a crucial fact or two you need to know about it. A health problem needs to be taken care of. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t waste time trying to learn why someone you relied on is wavering in his or her support of your stand on a workplace issue. Move on with the help of more steadfast allies. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships enter a brighter period, both at home and in the workplace. Prospects also look good for single Leos and Leonas, who can expect a welcome visit from Cupid. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Those mixed signals that were complicating your life are giving way now to clear, definitive guidelines. This makes it easier for you to weigh your options and make decisions. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Ask your partner for an explanation of what seems to be a sign of strain

in your relationship. The sooner you understand the problem, the sooner you can both act to resolve it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new challenge in the workplace holds an exciting promise for the future. But be aware of the fact that you haven’t been told about all the demands you might have to meet. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your financial picture brightens as you get into sorting out realistic goals and those that are not reachable at this time. “Caution” remains your fiscal watchword. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re deep into your new project, and that’s just fine. But don’t neglect your family and friends. Spending time with people you care for is always a wise investment. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Past feelings are suddenly reawakened. This could make you emotionally vulnerable. Be careful about decisions you might be asked to make at this time. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’ve come to a place where you’ll be facing important decisions that can affect your future. Rely on your strong moral compass to guide you toward making the right choices. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re gifted with both natural wisdom and wit -- a good combination for success as a writer or teacher and, most importantly, a parent. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
