Clemson, Won and Done Chances are, if you ever spend a little time at Angelo's Fairmount Tavern in Atlantic City, you will run into the odd Dallas Cowboys fan. They can be found at the bar or found in the restaurant proper, drinking house wine and shoveling in plates of pasta underneath the watchful eyes of all the sports memorabilia on the walls. "I've alwaaays been a Cowboys fan," is the familiar refrain. Nobody knows why this is, however. Is it because of Roger Staubach? Tom Landry? The handsome star on their helmets? The cheerleaders? What is it about this team that makes guys like Gov. Chris Christie go to their home games at the taxpayers' expense and hug on Jerry Jones while wearing orange sweaters? Atlantic City is the kind of place that will forgive you if you are a Philadelphia fan. They

1. How many times has a major-league team won a best-of-five playoff series after losing the first two games at home? 2. In 2015, the Chicago Cubs set a major-league record for most home runs in a playoff game by one team (six). Who had held the mark? 3.

may even forgive you if you like the New York Mets. But when you're rooting for teams from South Carolina and Alabama, is that where you draw the line? Here's a guy from Galloway who changed his Facebook profile picture to the Alabama Crimson Tide logo. Why? "I love Nick Saban," he says. OK. What does he love about jolly ol' Nick? "He's on the Bill Parcells coaching tree," he responds. Turns out the guy is a high-school football coach. The whole coaching tree thing is a popular trend for fans, and apparently, coaches these days. So really, Coach? The love of Parcells extends all the way to Alabama? Have you ever visited that state? Ever left Atlantic County? "Never thought of it like that," he says, deleting his profile picture.

Not to be a contrarian, but I disagree again. We're not so much cheering on South Carolina as we are cheering on a great game. "And this is a great game," he says in agreement. One day removed from the Giants' kind of lame loss to Green Bay (yes, he's wearing a jersey), it's as if college football made everything right in the world again. The game goes into the waning minutes, and it's like the best heavyweight fight you've ever seen. Clemson scores. Alabama scores. There's one second left on the clock and Clemson is on the 2-yard line. Every single person is in rapt attention, all eyes on the TV screen. Deshaun Watson wins the game. He is the living embodiment of "Rocky II." The entire restaurant erupts in exhilaration. We have seen football future, and its name is Deshaun. This kid can flat out play. The tabs start getting paid. Vegas, it is said, took a huge loss on the game. Nobody feels bad ... they're already looking forward to the next game. "Think Dallas can beat Green Bay?" That's why they play the game, right? Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey. Š 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Last week was a whirlwind. President Donald Trump's first week in office was a busy one!!! Trump took 18 official Presidential actions. His actions were more ambitious and addressed a larger number of major policy areas, from immigration to trade to national security than any other President's first week in office. He has already begun to work on his campaign promises aggressively. The following are many of these actions. The timeline: January 20: • Taking apart Obamacare. This is an order to "repeal" the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that directs agencies to avoid imposing penalties on individuals and others who do not obtain health insurance immediately while an alternative plan is completed. • Freeze on regulations This is a memo that temporarily bans new federal government regulations. Published regulations yet to take effect must be postponed for 60 days. January 23: • Health aid and abortion. This is a memo restricting funds for global health assistance groups that provide abortion services. The memo reverses a memo signed by Barack Obama. • Withdrawal from Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This is a memo directing the U.S. trade representative to "withdraw the U.S. as a signatory to the Trans Pacific Partnership, to permanently withdraw the U.S. from TPP negotiations, and to begin bilateral trade to promote and use the American industry and protect the American workers." • Federal hiring freeze. This is across the board in the executive branch but it does not apply to the military. January 24: • Dakota Access Pipeline. This is a memo that reopens a nearly completed project to build a crude oil pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois. • Shelving regulations to expedite infrastructure. This is an order to expedite environ-
mental reviews. • Keystone XL Pipeline. This is a memo that reopens a project to build a tar sands oil pipeline, linking Canada to the Gulf Coast. U.S. Steel for U.S. pipes. This is a memo directing the Commerce Department to develop a plan to use steel made only in the U.S. for all pipeline projects. • Expedite new manufacturing facilities. Instructs the Secretary of Commerce to create a streamlined federal permitting process for domestic manufacturers. January 25: • Attack on "sanctuary cities." This is an order denying federal funds to "sanctuary cities" that offer some form of safe haven to America's undocumented immigrants. • Build a border wall. This is an order calling for the "immediate construction of a physical wall on the southern border." January 27: • Extreme vetting. Trump signed an order last Friday establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the U.S. The order included a 120 day suspension of the U.S. refugee program. • Buildup of military. This is an order to begin a buildup by developing a plan for new planes, new ships, and new tools, and developing resources for our men and women in uniform. Reviewing the above 14 Presidential actions of the first week, in my opinion, most will be good for the American economy and American workers. The big issue for some was signed late last Friday night: "Extreme Vetting," with an underlying purpose of not admitting into our country the very threat our soldiers are fighting overseas. It includes a capping of 50,000 refugees from Syria in 2017 and severe limits on immigration from Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The suspended travel was imposed on
the seven countries above. Had it been me, I would have included Saudi Arabia and Turkey as well as Egypt. Keep in mind the seven countries listed above are the very same countries that have been pinpointed by Obama and Congress. This ban is not a Muslim ban, although the liberal media would and has attempted to play it out as such! The reality is U.S. Customs is being told and allowed to do their job, to obey the law. This is a President that would do — and is doing — exactly what he said he would do, and as any good business person, he isn't wasting time. I find it ironic that many have forgotten Barack Obama in 2011 put a six month freeze on Iraq's refugees. Where was the outcry from the media and others then? I truly believe it's not everyone's right to come to America! It's a privilege! And they don't have a right to live off of hard working Americans. And it's certainly not anyone's right come here illegally. So say what you will, we cannot have a free-for-all in America, especially while the countries in the Middle East aren't accepting the refugees. So you can decide — as Trump put it — if you want to listen to reason or if you want to listen to the opposition party, the liberal media, or Europe about how wrong Trump is. But look at the problems Europe has had and is having. Before press time the White House was looking at a better way to deal with green cards. The one issue I had with the ban was in Dallas, Texas there were nine retained with green cards but were later released, and of course, the ACLU has to get involved. Until next week.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
God’s Treasures When Nicki Benz visits the women in the county detention center she starts every meeting by blessing each woman individually, looking into their eyes and telling them that they are God’s treasures. Many of these women have been treated like trash for most of their lives and they have treated themselves like trash. Many have horrible pasts. Their futures look hopeless. But the truth of their worth in Jesus Christ brings them to tears. When they listen to the message of the Good News of God’s love, mercy, and grace, many of them find freedom and hope. The battle is not easy, the devil fights for them when they go back into the world. In many cases, they are released without enough money to support themselves for a week and they return to the boyfriends, families, pimps, and drug dealers who led them down the wrong path. Some fall back into their old habits and wind up back in jail or prison. But God is raising up homes and transitional houses for God’s treasures to have a place to recover, learn, and grow in a new life in Christ.
A few weeks ago, I came across an obscure passage of scripture that I’d never heard anyone teach on before, “The Lord gives the word and a great army brings the good news. Enemy kings and their armies flee, while the women of Israel divide the plunder. Even those who lived among the sheepfolds found treasures – doves with wings of silver and feathers of gold. The Almighty scattered the enemy kings like a blowing snowstorm on Mt. Zalmon.” (Psalm 68:11-14 NLT) Israel had turned away from God countless times. When they fell into captivity and were afflicted by the enemy, they would cry out to God in repentance and God would raise up a deliverer, called a judge in the Old Testament, to lead them in battle and victory from their oppressors. One such deliverer judge was a prophetess called Deborah. (Judges 4) She asked a soldier called Barak to lead the Israelite army into battle. He refused to go unless she went with him. She led the army to victory. Even the women and people who stayed behind with the pots and sheep found treasures left by the vast fleeing enemy, “doves

with wings of silver and feathers of gold.” (Psalm 68:13 NLT; Judges 5) The Hebrew word “shaphath” has various meanings such as, “thorns, dung, pots, sheepfolds”. The idea was that Israel had been greatly humbled, living in filth, and slavery. But she shall come forth in glory as a beautiful dove covered with silver and feathers tipped in gold. Israel has a bright future. (Jeremiah 29:11) She is God’s treasure. God’s hidden treasures are being found and dug out of the dirt, filth, and trash of the world. “Doves covered with silver and feathers tipped in gold.” In the Bible silver speaks of redemption and gold of deity. Jesus, the holy son of God, was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. “You were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold . . . But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without spot.” (I Peter 1:18-19) Jesus told a parable of treasure hidden in a f i e l d, “Ag ai n , t he kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which, when man hath found, he hides, and for joy there of goes and sells all he has and buys that field.” (Matthew 13:44) Who
is the treasure? You are God’s treasure; all who are buried in the dirt and garbage of sin and the world. Who is the man who sold all to obtain this buried treasure? Jesus Christ gave his all, his very life on the cross for us – “doves with wings of silver and feathers of gold.” The redemption and life of Christ that makes us God’s treasure is precious indeed. Are you part of God’s great army that brings the good news? (Isaiah 1:18; John 1:12; Psalms 68:13-14) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

UNDERSTANDING SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER The tail end of Daylight Saving Time in 2016 occurs on November 6, when millions of people will turn their clocks back one hour. Few people enjoy turning the clocks back in autumn as much as they enjoy turning them forward in spring. Turning the clocks forward affords many people, in particular working professionals who spend much of their weekdays working indoors, a chance to enjoy some sunlight when leaving their offices each day. However, once the clocks are turned back, professionals typically find themselves leaving their offices under a cover of darkness. Some people easily adjust to less daylight, while others experience a condition known as season affective disorder, or SAD. SAD is a disorder related to changes in s e as ons. According to the Mayo

Clinic, the majority of people with SAD begin to experience symptoms in the fall and continue battling those symptoms throughout the winter. The end of Daylight Saving Time occurs in early November, and the onset of SAD symptoms is no doubt related to the decreased exposure to daylight many people experience once clocks have been turned back. Those who suspect they might be susceptible to SAD can get a better grasp of the condition so they are capable of recognizing and responding to it should any symptoms appear. What Is SAD? Mental Health America, a leading communitybased nonprofit dedicated to addressing the needs of those living with mental illness, defines SAD as a mood disorder associated with depression and related to seasonal variations of light. Though many people may be saddened when the
clocks are turned back and the sun sets earlier than it does in the warmer months, MHA notes that a diagnosis of SAD can only be made after the symptoms of SAD have appeared for three consecutive winters and have gone into remission once spring and summer have arrived.
habits, such as a desire to oversleep and difficulty staying awake. Some people may experience disturbed sleep and find themselves waking up in early morning when they are unaccustomed to doing so. • Feelings of fatigue and an inability to adhere to one’s normal routine.
What Are The Symptoms Of SAD? Simply feeling bummed out that winter is on the horizon does not mean a person has SAD. The following are some of the more common symptoms of the disorder: • Depression marked by feelings of misery, guilt, hopelessness, despair, and apathy. A loss of self-esteem may also occur. • Feelings of anxiety that include tension and an inability to tolerate stress • Mood changes that are sometimes extreme; some SAD sufferers experience feelings of mania in spring and summer. • Changes in sleeping
Who Is Most Likely To Suffer From SAD? The Mayo Clinic notes that SAD is diagnosed more often in women than in men, and MHA notes that three out of four SAD sufferers are women. Young people are more likely than older people to get winter SAD, with MHA reporting that the main age of onset of SAD is between 18 and 30. Symptoms of SAD may worsen among people who have already been diagnosed with clinical depression or bipolar disorder. More information about seasonal affective disorder is available at www.mentalhealthamerica.net.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HOT AND COLD THERAPIES Inflammation can affect anyone, and those who have battled it likely have nothing positive to say. But while few people may associate inflammation with something good, inflammation is actually a process by which the body’s white blood cells and the substances those cells produce protect the body from infection at the hands of bacteria, viruses and other foreign organisms. While inflammation is protective by nature, sometimes an inflammatory response is triggered by mist a ke. When t hat happ ens, the b o dy’s immune system, which is designed to protect the body, begins to damage its own tissues. The resulting symptoms of this faulty immune system response may include joint pain, joint
stiffness, loss of function in the joints, and swelling of the joints. None of those symptoms are comfortable, and people suffering from them may be on the lookout for ways to alleviate their pain and suffering. While anyone battling persistent inflammation should speak with their physicians to explore their treatment options, a preliminary search of how to best treat inflammation will no doubt turn up information about heat therapy and cold therapy. The following breakdown should not replace a physician’s advice, but it can help patients battling inflammation better understand both treatment options.
for physicians and patients alike, heat works against inflammation by increasing blood flow and making connective tissues more flexible. Heat also can be used to combat edema, a condition characterized by an excess of fluid in the tissues of the body. Upon application, heat can temporarily reduce pain and alleviate stiffness in the joints. Heat also may temporarily relieve muscles spasms. The Cleveland Clinic notes that heat can be effective at relieving pain associated with worn-away cartilage in the joints because it eases chronically stiff joints and relaxes tight muscles. In addition, moist heat can relax painful neck spasms Heat Therapy linked to nerves or blood According to the Merck vessels in the head or pain Manual, a reference book emanating from muscles in
the neck. Heat can be applied via hot packs, infrared heat, paraffin baths, and hydrotherapy. Cold Therapy Cold therapy, sometimes referred to as “cryotherapy,” can relieve pain associated with inflammation that has developed recently. Cold can help numb tissues and relieve muscle spasms and can also be used to alleviate pain associated with injuries. The Merck Manual notes that ice bags or cold packs can be used to apply cold. In addition, fluids that cool by evaporation, including ethyl chloride, may be applied topically. Some medicines may interact with ethyl chloride spray, so inflammation sufferers should consult their physicians before applying such
sprays. Ac c o rd i n g t o t h e Cleveland Clinic, ice can be used to calm flare-ups and numb pain associated with chronic, inflammatory arthritis. Ice also can ease inflammation and numb pain linked to pulled muscles or injured tendons. Pain and inflammation resulting from the stretching
or tearing of ligaments in the joints may also be eased by applying ice to the affected area. Heat and cold therapies can effectively combat symptoms associated with inflammation, but such treatments should always be discussed with a physician before being instituted.
PREVENT COLDS AND FLU BEFORE THEY START
Though the holiday season is a joyous time of year, it’s also one when many people succumb to cold and flu. Spending so much time indoors in close proximity to others can increase a person’s susceptibility to flu and cold, so it’s no surprise that the holiday season, when many people spend lots of time celebrating indoors with family and friends, marks the unofficial start to cold and flu season. Despite what Mom might have told you about going out into the cold with a wet head or leaving home without wearing a coat, such actions do not increase your risk for cold and flu. But being cooped up indoors, where germs from others who are sick can fester, can increase that risk. Cold weather also can be a factor, but not for the reason you think. According to a 2007 study from researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the influenza virus is more stable and can stay in the air longer when the air is cold and dry. Dr. Peter Palese, a flu researcher who is professor and chairman of the school’s microbiology department, examined guinea pigs infected with the flu virus to determine the connection between the flu and cold weather. Dr. Palese varied the air temperature and humidity in the guinea pigs’ environment and determined that flu transmission was best at
41 F, while the prevalence of transmission declined as the temperature rose. By the time temperatures reached 86 F, the virus was not transmitted at all. Low humidity also helped transmit the virus, and high humidity stopped the spread. Flu viruses spread through the air in water droplets expelled from sick individuals’ noses and mouths. High humidity may cause these droplets to fall to the ground before they can infect someone else. Colds are largely transmitted through surface contact with the virus or direct contact with a sick individual. The cold virus is then contracted on the hands and typically transferred to the nose, eyes or mouth through inadvertent touching of these areas. Spending time indoors in close quarters with other people, which is more common in the winter, can facilitate the spread of colds as well as the flu virus. There are many ways to reduce your risk of contracting a cold or the flu virus this winter. Perhaps no preventive measure is more effective than getting a flu shot. In addition, wash your hands frequently to prevent the spread of germs, and disinfect remote controls, computer keyboards, tablets, mobile phones, and other items that are handled by multiple people on any given day. In addition, spend as much time out-
doors as possible so you can escape potentially contaminated indoor air. If you come down with the flu, increase the humidity in your home by running the shower with the door open, using a recreational aquarium or boiling pots of water. Maintain a warm indoor temperature to reduce the likelihood that the flu virus will spread. Other ways to reduce your risk for cold and flu include: • Maintaining a healthy diet • Getting several minutes of sunlight per day • Exercising regularly

Cat Has Appetite for Plastic DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a 19-month-old cat, "Sissy," who loves to chew on plastic shopping bags and whatever other plastic she may find. This started about six months ago. I feed her and her two siblings very well. Is
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area there anything I can do to get her to stop? — Rae H., Weaverville, California DEAR RAE: Plastic shopping bags make a lovely crinkling sound when chewed, and the texture is quite interesting. While some of the cats I've cared for over the years couldn't care less about gnawing on such things,
others were fascinated with crinkly plastic, crumpled paper and similar interesting items. Now, I can't tell you exactly why a cat picks a specific material to chew on. You should certainly take Sissy to the vet for a checkup and discussion about her new behavior. Often it's not health-related. Sissy may be
Wednesday, February 1, 2017 looking for a little more excitement in her life. The risk of chewing on plastic, of course, is that she might ingest bits of it, and that can cause significant health problems. A small bit of soft shopping-bag plastic may not seem like much, but if she's also sampling, say, the harder plastic of water bottles or milk jugs, small shards of those
can be swallowed. In the short term, I recommend keeping plastic shopping bags and other tempting items out of Sissy's reach, and spend more time playing with her and scattering cat-safe toys around the house to try and redirect her attention. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

a v e e n H , R n i h y o a n d d h a t r H i B a t y c p h p e a r. February 5 H
We miss you Rhonda and Terry! From your friends and family
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The changes you’ve waited to see in your work situation might not be happening quite as quickly as you’d hoped. Although the pace is slow, it’s ongoing. Expect to hear news soon. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You should be feeling very proud of the fine effort you’ve made to get that important project done. Now take some time out to celebrate with family and friends. You’ve earned it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re close to reaching your objectives. That’s the good news. But be careful: Your aspects show lots of potential distractions looming. Stay focused and keep your eyes fixed on your goals. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful not to let that suspicious Cancerian mind create a problem where none exists. What you might believe is an act of betrayal could be nothing more than a misunderstanding. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Lion’s heart overflows with self-confidence. All you need to do is tap into it, and you’ll be able to handle any change that must be made regarding that recent surprise development. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The need to watch what you say becomes increasingly crucial this week. Be as temperate as you can with your comments and avoid arguments for the sake of controversy. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A longtime family problem presents
new demands. But this time, you won’t have to go it alone: Someone else is asking to help share your responsibilities. Let it happen. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of feeling vulnerable is about to give way to a stronger, more self-confident aspect. Use this new strength to reaffirm promises you’ve made to others and yourself. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A creative dilemma stalls your progress. Instead of letting it raise your ire, use the time to re-examine your aims and, perhaps, come up with a new target. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your nimble will finds a way for you to work out those newly emerged problems plaguing your new project. Stay with it. The results will be well worth your efforts. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might feel overwhelmed at having to decide which new opportunity you should follow. Best advice: Check them all out and see which offers what you really want. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Continue to tread water before you even consider plunging into something that never seemed quite right. Some facts will soon emerge that can help you make a decision. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a naturalborn peacemaker. You value truth and have little patience with those who lie to you for their own purposes. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
