Silencio! Brown Truly, I don't believe that so-called bulletin board material matters much anymore. To wit, let's take the recent nonsense between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots. Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin was recorded by his best player, Antonio Brown, calling the Patriots a name that refers to a human orifice. And we all know what orifice that is because we never refer

to any orifice as an orifice except for this particular orifice. Now, the question is, does anybody outside of the Steelers organization care? Is this going to make a difference in their upcoming game? Will we see Erin Andrews or Suzy Kolber shoving a microphone in Tom Brady's face after a blowout win, asking how those comments factored into the day's results? Can you imagine? "Well, Erin/Suzy," Brady might start, "we were planning on coming out flat ... no pun, of course." Brady, who over the years has developed into a very well-spoken league player, would be able to handle this with aplomb. We can imagine the further discourse.
"We've only won our division for pretty much the entire century so far ... have won a fair amount in the postseason, quite a few Super Bowls, too ... have a genius for a coach. I'm married to one of the hottest women in the world, have a beautiful kid and live in a house that has it's own ZIP code ... but you're absolutely right. It wasn't until Antonio Brown posted a video on Facebook when we all decided as a team that, hey, no ... we gotta take this game seriously!" In the "you can't make this up" dep ar t ment, Bi l l Belichick's real-life remarks about the incident were even better than anything myself or fictional Suzy Kolber could ever conjure. "As you know, I'm not on snapface and all that, so I don't really get those," Belichick said. "Not worried too much about what they put on Instachat." Perhaps the best take in all of this was Mike Tomlin's reaction. Tomlin is a true American treasure. He's a biology major from William & Mary who never played a down of professional football but holds the record for youngest coach to ever win a Super Bowl. He's an incred-

ible judge of talent and will be a part of this league for a very long time. The man deserved better than being outed by Antonio Brown. Sure, Brown's a superstar, but he clearly isn't in any danger of becoming a rocket scientist anytime soon. As Tomlin was quick to point out, players who act that way, who feel bigger than the team, have a habit of becoming journeymen, a history of being quick hasbeens. He keeps it up and we may only be a season or two away from seeing him lifting weights in his driveway, begging for a contract, wishing he was in a locker room ... never mind being posted on the bulletin board. In the final analysis, it's even easier to understand. Nothing Brown said made the Patriots better -- it made him and the Steelers worse. Never rat out your friends (or teammates or coaches) and always keep your mouth shut. Nobody needs a bulletin board to be reminded of something like that.

Ice Cream Cakes For Your Sweet Heart!
Southern Illinois Robotics teams excelled during competition among 64 teams competing in the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Central Illinois State Tournament at University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana on Saturday. FLL is a robotics program for 9 to 14 year olds which is designed to get children excited about science and technology, as well as teach them valuable life skills. Along w it h pro g r a m m i n g robots, teams are also evaluated on an elaborate research project, as well as how well they demonstrate FLL Core Values, which include teamwork, collective learning, active participation and gracious professionalism. After practicing and preparing for months, teams meet at regional qualifying tournaments to be graded on the three elements, with top teams advancing to state competition. Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois Team results are as follows: GIR! from Staunton won the Research Award, which FLL states “recognizes a team that utilizes diverse resources to formulate an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the problem they have identified.

From day one President Donald J. Trump has made it clear he is going to keep America safe, so he put a ban on seven countries for a limited time. Those countries are Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Keep in mind these seven countries are the same countries pinpointed by Barack Obama and Congress, and justifiably so, in my opinion. Under the law and according to the Constitution, Trump is within his legal authority as the President to institute this ban through an executive order. But on Saturday U.S. District Judge James Robart, appointed by George W. Bush, as a "so called judge" overturned the ruling, or should I say paused it. The White House said the Justice Department would challenge the judge's ruling, and that procedure has already started. I remember Obama's statement about executive orders, "I have the power of the pen and phone." You've got to love it! Where was the outcry over Barack Obama's executive orders? Our immigration policies must be put in place. Illegals are flooding into this country in record numbers. Cross the borders of Iran illegally and you will end up in jail for 20 years; otherwise you will be shot. And keep in mind that three former Presidents have put bans on illegal immigration in recent history; they were Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. As reported in the Los Angeles Times, Obama invoked it 19 times, Clinton 12 times
and George W. Bush 6 times. I am in agreement with Donald Trump who said, "When a country is no longer able to say who can and who cannot come in and out, for reasons of safety and security — big trouble." This President is a President for all the people, and in my opinion, he has the right to respond to his critics. Yet the left is straining to create the impression that the ban was a Muslim ban. In fact, it was not. Had it been, I would have been against it! The ban was placed on unstable countries. Because of past unstable activity, it would have and should have included Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, as well as Pakistan, a very Muslim country, proving once again by Trump's actions this was not a Muslim ban. Nor should any have been banned for the Muslim reason. Donald Trump has not once said this is a Muslim ban. These are words that came out of the mouths of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck S c hu m e r, E l i z a b e t h Wa r r e n , a n d o t h e r Democrat leaders as well as the flaming liberal media. The left's favorite words have b e come Muslim ban, racist, sexist, and classism. It's interesting I haven't heard these words from the right, who for the most part, appear to be happy with what Donald Trump has done. The only objection I have to this ban is those which were here with visas and green cards (less than 300 across the country) should
have not been held back. However, within 10 to 12 hours they were allowed in. I've waited that long in a terminal, but I'm not saying I liked it. In case some don't get it — and many don't — we are in a very dangerous place in this country, in more ways than one. Paul Ryan said of the ban, "What is important is Donald Trump's administration is taking steps to reinstate the ban legally." Unfortunately, as long as the Democratic Party has people like Nancy Pelosi and the Elizabeth Warrens — the old guard — they will continue to shoot themselves between the eyes and self destruct. And these Republican sweeps will continue across the country, sadly taking down some of our — and I do mean our — best leaders, just because they are on a Democratic ticket. Everything has become too political, even on Super Bowl Sunday. For example, the commercial from Budweiser Beer was about an immigrant. The key word is legal immigrant. Our ancestors came to America legally, and so it should be today. In closing, on a lighter note for the Super Bowl commercials, I'm buying a bottle of Mr. Clean tomorrow. Until next week.

Add hens, one at a time, turning to coat and glaze all sides. Place glazed hens on rack in roasting pan; baste with wine. Cover loosely with foil and roast in preheated 375° oven about 30 min.. Uncover and baste with drippings and orange juice; reduce temperature to 325° and bake another 20 to 30 min., until tender and golden. Reduce temperature to 150° and hold until ready to serve. Just before serving, strain drippings into small saucepan. Beat egg yolk with a little of the hot drippings, then return to pan and heat, stirring, to thicken slightly — do not boil.

DONORS URGENTLY NEEDED TO INCREASE RED CROSS BLOOD SUPPLY The American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to make an appointment to give this winter so that patients can continue to receive lifesaving treatments. Michael Harper knows how critical it is to have a readily available blood supply. “I used over 300 units of blood when I was younger after an auto accident. Blood donations helped save my life,” he said. “Now, I would like to donate as much or more than I have received.” Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout the winter to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients in need. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). All those who come to donate from Jan. 30 to Feb. 26, 2017, are eligible to receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email for making blood and platelet
donation a priority this winter. Upcoming blood donation opportunities are lised below. Clinton County: Feb. 21, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., Carlyle High School, 1461 12th Street, Carlyle. Feb. 27, 3 p.m. - 7 p.m., Albers Elementary, 206 N. Broadway, Albers. Feb. 28, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m., American Legion Hall, 1105 Sycamore, Germantown. Fayette County: Feb. 20, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Saint Peter Village Hall, 704 W. 3rd St., Saint Peter. Marion County: Feb. 22, 2:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m., Centralia Junior High School, 900 S. Pine, Centralia. To help simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767) to make an
appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive.

HEARTS AND LOVE ARE INTERTWINED Hearts and Valentine's Day are forever intertwined. One of the most recognizable symbols of love is the modest heart, and hearts adorn candy boxes and cookies while paper hearts are pinned to doors or windows as a symbol of Valentine's Day. Young valentines may share candy hearts printed with silly sentiments. A symbolic heart bears no resemblance to an anatomical heart, and yet it is used to represent the deepest feelings of affection a person can share. Some may wonder just how the emo-
tions of love became tied up in the shape of a heart, even though it's widely known that the brain, and not the heart, governs affections. In ancient times, people believed that the heart was the center of all human emotions. Since the heart is prominently located in the center of the chest and the middle of the body, it became the cornerstone of human feelings. Love is considered to be one of the most profound and strongest human emotions, therefore it was reasoned that the feeling must emanate from the heart.
Surprisingly, the heart has not always been the only organ associated with love. During the Middle Ages, the heart was deemed a useless organ. Followers of the Greek physician Galen theorized that the liver actually was the seat of the soul and love. The first depictions of a symbolic heart date back to the 11th century, when the heart was drawn to resemble a pinecone held upside down with the point facing upward. The scalloped heart that is more familiar today first arose in the early 14th century. Around the
same time, the heart was depicted with the point facing downward and the indentation at the base. Naturally, as time passed and more was learned about human anatomy, it became obvious that the brain was the seat of all emotion and thought processes. However, as the brain was something intangible in a living body in ancient times, and the beating heart could be much more readily monitored – with a pulse rate speeding up when a person is excited or aroused – it's easy to see how the
link between the heart and love has endured. Although the human heart is not bright red like symbolic hearts, that was the color chosen. Red has long been associated with passion, so it made sense to depict the heart in a bright red hue. Many other theories have been offered regarding the symbolic heart and its representation of love. While there's no definitive correlation between love and hearts, the heart has become an accepted symbol of the emotion and the season of romance.

Come mid-February, florist delivery trucks can be seen making the rounds through neighborhoods all across the country. Such trucks are transporting thousands of bouquets, plants and other floral arrangements that serve as gifts on Valentine's Day. According to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association, florists take in around $400 million in revenue on Valentine's Day. Roses may be the most popular flower come Valentine's Day, but many other blooms find their way into the hearts of excited celebrants as well. Flowers can be used to convey love, friendship, compassion, and desire. In Victorian times, flowers were given specific meanings because only a few exotic flowers were readily available, and many of these meanings have withstood the test of time. Giving a type of flower that signifies you just want to be friends may not bode well for a relationship when the recipient was hoping for more. As a result, it pays to understand the subtle meaning of flowers to make gift-giving easier. The Society of American Florists has compiled the
Shopper's Weekly Staff Photo
following list of flower meanings from various sources. But in spite of these meanings, keep in mind you can always work with a florist to design a personal arrangement that speaks directly to that special someone this Valentine's Day.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR CUT FLOWERS LAST LONGER What would Valentine’s Day be without a beautiful bouquet of flowers? In addition to chocolate, cards and dining out, flowers — particularly roses — are among the most popular gifts. According to a survey by the National Retail Federation, 58 percent of American men and 16 percent of American women were projected to buy flowers for Valentine’s Day 2016, spending a total of $1.9 billion. Similar spending is predicted for in 2017. Flowers of all shapes, sizes, colors, and aromas can make popular gifts this February. Prolonging the life of beautiful blooms is a priority for those who want their Valentine’s Day arrangements to endure for as long as possible. Florists and other experts differ with regard to the best methods of preserving flowers. Here are some ideas to try. Trim Stems Before Immersing In Water The natural emollients and sap in the stems of flowers may cause a film to form over the bottom of the stem after it is initially cut. This can reduce the flower’s uptake of water. To alleviate this, cut the stems once the flowers are home. A 45-
degree angle allows for the absorption of the most water. You can recut them at each water change as well. Clean Vases Of Bacteria Be sure that vases or other vessels you use to hold flowers are completely clean. Bacteria can cause the flowers to decompose prematurely. Use a diluted bleach-and-water solution to clean vases thoroughly between uses. Watch Flower Placement Sunlight and heat may dry out the blooms. Prolong the life of flowers by placing them in the darkest, coolest area of the home. Treat The Water To preserve flowers, do your best to reduce bacteria, provide a food source for the flowers and manage the pH so that the uptake of water will continue to be strong. Sugar can be an adequate food source. Gardenista, a floral arrangement and gardening resource, tested a variety of methods for preserving flowers and found much of the same results across the board. These included vinegar and sugar, conventional flower food, bleach, aspirin, and a penny. The bleach, aspirin, copper
penny, and vinegar work as antibacterial agents. The sugar and the plant food help nourish the blooms. In the trials, most of the blooms remained strong for three to four days. Purchase Immature Blooms Although many desire an arrangement of all opened flowers, bouquets that have some closed buds
or those that are just beginning to peek out will likely last longer than bouquets that have already bloomed. The flowers will continue to open and wilting flowers can be removed to make room for the others. Keeping Valentine’s Day flowers looking fresh and vibrant takes a few steps. By being diligent, that floral arrangement can last for several days.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Redemption’s Call Redemption is the encompassing theme of the Bible. Jesus answered redemption’s call in His mission to the earth. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines redemption as “the act of redeeming, to recover property by discharging an obligation, to ransom, free, or recue by paying a price.� Oswald Chambers wrote that the reality of the Christian life finds its power in redemption. “Jesus Christ came to redeem the whole world and to place it perfectly
whole and restored before the throne of God.� To live in freedom, you must understand and experience redemption’s call. Consider these aspects of redemption. THE PROPHECY OF JOB’S REDEEMER. We hear the gospel of redemption in possibly the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job The wealthiest man of his generation lost everything including his health. Through his suffering, Job received one of the greatest revelations of all time when he declared, “For I know that my Redeemer
lives and He shall stand at last on earth, and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God.� (Job 19:2526) Job had the hope of eternal life because he had a redeemer. Job prophesied of Christ who would pay the redemption price by laying his life on the cross as the supreme sacrifice for our sin. Christ indeed lives as the Resurrection and the Life. THE PRECIOUS PRICE OF REDEMPTION. Just as the Jews were enslaved by Pharaoh in Egypt and needed a deliverer, so mankind has been enslaved by sin and death and in need of a redeemer. Psalm 49:5-9 paints the picture of the precious cost of redemption. “Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the multitude of their riches, none of them can by any means redeem his
brother nor give God a ransom for him – For the redemption of their souls is costly.� The New Testament reveals the precious price of redemption. “Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, f rom you r ai m l e ss conduct . . . but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and without spot.� (I Peter 1:18-20) There are two sides to the coin of redemption here. We were redeemed “from� and redeemed “to� or “through Christ.� (Romans 3:24; 6:4; I Peter 3:18; Hebrews 9:12, 22) After my grandma Rose answered redemption’s call, she took her grandchildren to church. It was in children’s church where I was first exposed to redemption through the pastor’s wife’s story of

“Tommy’s Lost Sailboat�. Tommy was sailing his toy sailboat when the string broke and the sailboat drifted away and was lost. He searched everywhere for it without success. One day he saw his sailboat sitting in the window of a store. He went in and discovered it had a price tag on it for way more money than he had to buy it back. Tommy worked hard and sold what he had and was finally able to purchase his lost sailboat. What joy he had in his heart when he could once again take his boat home and sail it. He loved and appreciated it even more. That story explained what redemption is all about to my young mind. Jesus paid the ransom price to redeem us and it was costly. THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH IN REDEMP-
TION. The apostle Paul taught us in his epistles that no amount of our works could ever free us from the law of sin and death. Only faith in Christ’s redemption can free us. (Galatians 3:1214) THE POWER OF REDEMPTION’S HOPE. Job declared his hope of eternal life because his redeemer lived. Jesus gave us this assurance, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.� (Luke 21:28) This refers to our full redemption. An old hymn says, “Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, redeemed by the blood of the lamb.� Have you been redeemed? Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

She then started searching miniature garden necessities and began gardening in a new direction, on a much smaller scale.

Q: I have inherited a sugar shaker that has been identified as a piece of Stemless Daisy. What can you tell me about it? — Betty, Portsmouth, Virginia A: Stemless Daisy — sometimes known as Cosmos pottery — is pattern glass that was produced from roughly 1895 until 1915 by the Consolidated Lamp and Glass Company. Almost all of the pieces I have seen are made of milk glass, but there are exceptions. The reliefmolded flowers are generally on a finely crosscut background and painted in

Your sugar shaker is considered rare, and depending on its condition could be worth as much as $650. *** Q: In 1937, I received a composition and stuffed cloth doll of Mickey Mouse. It is marked "knickerbocker" and is about 12" tall and in excellent condition. A neighbor has offered me $250 for it, but I wanted to check with you first. — Arthur, Austin, TX A: I found your doll referenced in the "Official Hake's Price Guide to Character Toys" by Ted Hake and published by

House of Collectibles. According to Hake, if your doll is truly in excellent condition it could be worth as much as $1,200. *** Q: I have seven Daguerreotype pictures. They are in fairly good condition, but no cases. What would be the average price if I want to sell them? — Mildred, Laurel, Indiana A: It really depends on the images.

How much are they worth? —Wade, Orton, Minnesota A: I contacted a rodeo memorabilia collector who thought your buckles would be valued in the $15 to $25 range.

Is Your Pet Ready for Air Travel? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I just read the letter from a reader who's been asked to return a cat to its original owner. I hope that if they send the cat back, they don't send it by air! Animals are put in the airplane's baggage compartment, which is not heated. I recently was on a plane with a seat display showing the outside temperature as 70 below zero. — Sarah S., via email DEAR SARAH: I'll probably hear otherwise from a few readers, but transporting pets on aircraft is fairly safe, and they are not exposed to sub-zero temperatures while in the cargo hold. Of course, we've all
heard about pets that were injured or died while being transported, so I looked into this claim. According to Pets Express, one of several companies that specialize in transporting animals via commercial aircraft, "Air travel is as safe for pets as it is for people. Your pet will travel in a special cargo compartment [which is] both climate controlled and pressurized for your pet's safety and comfort. It is on the same air circulation system as the cabin." That said, traveling as cargo is not for every dog and cat. Pets that are elderly, easily stressed or have existing medical conditions can be at risk of developing health problems or even dying during transport. Many airlines prohibit certain breeds — particularly brachycephalic animals that have restricted breathing such as Bulldogs or Chow Chows, and even Burmese cats.

STION E U Q OF THE What is your most special gift you got for Valentinesʼs Day? Stephanie S h Daniels D l
Greg Brown
The flowers I got from Brenda.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of mixed signals can create an unreliable situation in which to make decisions. Best advice: Hold off on making any commitments until you’re sure you know what’s going on. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An apparently friendly offer comes with some strings attached. Be careful not to get tied into something you don’t really want. Thoroughly examine all your options before making a choice. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) If you’re not careful, distractions can interrupt your best efforts. Continue to focus on what you need to do. You’ll soon have lots of time to enjoy the rewards of your dedication. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Knowledge replaces suspicion as you begin to learn more about that “act of betrayal.” On a lighter note, someone close to you might be planning a pleasant surprise. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Control your sometimes-overactive jealousy gene before you find yourself saying or doing something that you could later regret. Best advice: Stop obsessing and move on. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) It’s a good time to loosen up and do something wonderful and exciting before your more reserved nature resurfaces. A message brings news of imminent change. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Cheer up. Things begin to improve significantly by mid-February. How-
ever, you might still need help to get through the rest of this sometimesdifficult period. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Something you learned last week takes on new meaning as you begin to relate it to another situation in your life. It’s best to keep this matter to yourself for now. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your energy level is climbing, and so is your self-confidence. Good for you, because you’ll need a good dollop of both to tackle an exciting challenge on the way. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family issue might interrupt a career-linked project. Try to give the matter the attention it needs, but be careful not to jeopardize your workplace situation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some self-doubt shows up this week, causing you to question your ability to handle a new challenge. But you know you can do it, and this is your chance to prove it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A personal matter requires you to be as clear and forthcoming as possible in order to avoid misunderstandings. A career move is eased with the emergence of new facts. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of reaching people that makes them feelgood about themselves. You would be an excellent motivational speaker.
• It was 20th-century American theoretical physicist Richard Feynman who made the following sage observation: "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong." • Historians report that Alexander the Great -- best known for his conquests throughout Asia and North Africa, which helped to create one of the ancient world's largest empires before he turned 30 -- had a hard-andfast rule for his soldiers: no beards. Alexander didn't want to give their enemies anything to grab onto during battle. • If you're sending a letter to Ireland, don't worry if the address you have on file is missing the postal code; in that country the only addresses that use them are in the capital, Dublin. • In 2002, researchers con-
ducted a study to determine how consumers' decisions are influenced by seemingly minor changes in appearance. They presented car-buyers with a variety of webpages; everything on the pages was the same — the vehicles presented, the information provided, prices, etc. — except for the background. One group got a green background with a pattern of pennies on it, and one group got a red background with a pattern of flames. As it turns out, the background did, indeed, influence behavior: Consumers in the green-background group spent more time looking at information about cost, while those in the redbackground group spent more time looking at details about safety features. • In Ireland, to ensure good luck on a child's birthday, it was once the tradition to hold the child by the feet and bump his or her head on the floor once for each of the child's years.
