The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area versial tweet? There's been one beginning ever y weekend since Trump took oﬃce. But I couldn't find one last week. Didn't the media catch this and report on the new tone of the Trump weekend tweets? After all, the only tweet I saw was on Sunday, "We are making great progress with healthcare. Obamacare is imploding and will only get worse. Republicans are coming together to get the job done." The absence of a controversial tweet to start the weekend (and irritate the Sunday shows) should have been the top news story! Guess they all missed this one. Instead they went for another story to push their narrative: The remaining 46 U.S. Attorneys were asked In the news (or should • 46 U.S. Attorneys Replace Debate Continues to resign immediately.

HUMANITARIAN PROGRAM PRESENTED TO MT. VERNON ROTARY Reverend Alfred SamForay, center, originally from Sierra Leone, Africa, and former agricultural and industrial engineer in the United States, and his daughter Masah Renwick, an attorney, presented a program to the Rotary Club of Mt. Vernon about their humanitarian efforts in Sierra Leone. Reverend SamForay reported he came to the U. S. over forty years ago and obtained a Master’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering from the University of Illinois before entering the

workforce and also starting a non-profit organization whose mission was to provide education and economic advancement for the people of Sierra Leone. In 2016 he retired back home to embark on a lifelong dream to develop a large scale farm in his native village to not only feed the 200 villagers but also generate revenue to provide educational opportunities and establish an advanced Submitted Photo medical clinic.

GSSI 28TH ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC SCHEDULED AT SUNSET HILLS COUNTRY CLUB Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) will hold its 28th Annual Girl Scout Golf Classic at Sunset Hills Country Club on May 15. This year’s Girl Scout golf classic features for the first time the Million Dollar Shoot-Out where four lucky golfers will have the chance to make a golf shot for $1,000,000. “We are excited to be hosting our golf classic at Sunset Hills Country Club and very excited about the Million Dollar Shoot-Out,” said Tricia Higgins, GSSI C ommunications and Development Manager. “We encourage you to come out and support our Girl Scout Golf Classic,” Higgins said, adding, “We are still looking for more golf players and teams and have many wonder-

ful corporate sponsorships still available.” During the past 27 years, the Girl Scout golf classic has raised more than $825,000 to support girl program development, girl financial assistance and to maintain and improve Girl Scout camps. GSSI provides a premier Girl Scout Leadership Experience for over 12,400 girls and nearly 5,000 adult volunteers in southern Illinois. For 27 years, the Girl Scout golf classic has played an important role in funding girl programs and providing opportunities and financial assistance so all girls can participate in Girl Scouting. They hope you will help Girl Scouts build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place

Dear Editor, Friday I received a letter in the mail, and when I opened it I realized at age 80, I have more to learn. There were two letters, one from a board certified genealogist, and one from the Army. The purpose of these letters was to ask my help in identifying a soldier that died in 1942 serving in World War II. In the letter from the genealogist was a trail from myself back into the past through five generations, six including myself. The second path progressed from the soldier back through five generations to the same person in the first trail. I’m a member of Ancestry.com and verified these trails and a common person for the soldier and myself. The Government is removing those in graves and returning them to burial in the

best location within the United States. In this case the graves are in Cold Bay, Alaska. The way this program works is in progressive steps. 1. A name is forwarded to a genealogist, who establishes a family link to find a DNA sample to verify the body to be the name provided. 2. The family link responds positive as being the person searched. In my instance, I called the genealogist and the Army contact confirming my match. 3. The genealogist will file their report with the government and move on to the next case. My government contact will send a DNA test kit, and I make three cheek swabs and send the samples to their lab. If you are contacted as I was, do the same and this will complete their needs. As a relative, even distant,

I was given the option to learn what the government knew of this particular service man. He was the only child and was raised in Fayette County, and he died in 1942 as part of the 54th Air Combat Unit. This soldier was 31 at his death from a plane crash, and was buried in Cold Bay. The parents have an empty grave plot in Jeﬀerson Barracks National Cemetery, in Lemay, MO. The grave site is marked with a memorial marker. His father died 25 years and mother 36 years after their only son’s death serving our country against Japan’s occupation of parts of Alaska’s Aleutian Island chain. I can’t wrap my mind around the depth of their loss, and with nothing but the marker in the cemetery. I wonder who would be around to witness his interment? We should remember how often this was repeated in World War II. For my part, I’m always reading car plates and ball caps for all those aging men who served and came home.

They were the lucky ones, and in a way unlucky, as they all will never fail to remember their companions who were not so lucky. Stop and surprise most of these warriors by thanking them for their service. Ask where they served! Let’s not forget those young men who committed suicide because they were rejected from military duty.

NOPE I have a friend who runs a high-end retail business. Every day, one of the things she does is check the rungs inside of the clothes racks. Occasionally, she will find an article of clothing stashed behind, say, a rack of dress shirts. The next time the sneaky person goes to check on the item, there's a post-it note with the word "NOPE" in its place. Major League Baseball is sneaky, too. It's the only game w here you're allowed to steal -- the other manager's signals, the catcher's signals ... an actual base or two -- not to mention all of the even sneakier stuﬀ some guys try to pull. Vaseline under the cap, nail files in their back pocket, spit and rosin, to name a few. But nothing is more egregious than when baseball tries to sneak in a new rule. Home-field advantage being decided by the winner of the All-Star Game? Stupid, when it's a game based upon mutual participation and can theoretically end in a tie. The new one-game play-in playoﬀ games? The worst. The designated hitter -good idea in theory, kind of worked out for guys like David Ortiz, Reggie Jackson, Jim Thome and Edgar Martinez, but really hasn't made watching games any more enjoyable. The most exciting plays in baseball are the

run. With nobody on base, your chance of scoring drops to about 40 percent. That's a pretty big swing ... except it isn't a swing at all. The player never earned the right to be on the field. So the manager picks a player, more than likely his preferred base-burning pinch runner. Does he get a hit for that? A walk? defensive ones anyway. But now they've come No. That's not fair to the up with a real doozy. The proposed rule change would aﬀect extra-inning ballgames. The proposed idea is start an extra-inning game with a runner on second base, in scoring position. Now just think about how idiotic that rule would be for a second. The Sabremetric guys will tell you that with no outs and a man on second, a team has a very good probability of scoring a

pitcher. Does it aﬀect his on-base percentage? It would have to ... how would you account for the run? And why should the pitcher be given such a handicap? If that guy scores, is it an unearned run? Hey, why not just have ghost runners? And get this: The smart people at Forbes just did the math and figured out it would shorten only

about 6 percent of extrainning games. The Major Leagues should have stopped when they got it right: banning the spitball and the infield fly rule (the game's only flaw). If you want to shorten games, you make the batter stay in the batter's box, period. You're up there to hit. If the pitcher takes too long to throw, you give him two

warnings, and the third time he stalls you boot him from the game. But trying to ruin the game with that sneaky little second-base runner rule? Nope.

How to Bathe a Cat in 6 Fun-Filled Steps D E A R P AW â&#x20AC;&#x2122; S CORNER: My 3-yearold cat "Zuzu" loves to go outside and roll around in everything. She comes back in covered with burrs, or mud, or whatever funk she happens upon. I'm not sure why she does this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; isn't that something dogs are known for? Thankfully, she rarely has fleas, since I give her a monthly flea treatment. But she hates baths. How can I keep Zuzu clean? DEAR WIT'S END: Before we get into the science of cat bathing, I have to ask: Has Zuzu been spayed? If not, that could be playing a role in her, um, adventurousness. Otherwise, try to limit her exploration to the yard if possible. Now, to the dreaded cat bath. This is rarely fun for cats or owners. Fortunately, most cats rarely need a bath; toofrequent baths can dry their skin, which can lead to bigger problems. Here's how: 1) Use a sink or a large container, rather than a bathtub. Fill it with just a couple of inches of lukewarm to cool water. 2) Place a harness and leash on the cat if

controlling her will be a problem. Then carry the cat to the sink, giving it lots of praise. 3) Carefully wet the cat up to its neck and add a small amount of perfume-free pet

“ We Carve Life’s Memories into Stone”

How Will You Be Remembered? Larry King was once interviewed on “The Today Show” concerning his book Remember Me When I’m Gone. The world-famous radio and television personality asked the talented, the beautiful, the wise, and the rich a question all of us have pondered to some degree, “How would you like to be remembered after you die?” The contributions range from one-liners by Yogi Berra, “It’s over.” Kato Kaelin, “I guess my 15 minutes are up!” Jack Lemmon, “In.” Calvin Klein, “By eternity.” Gene Shalit, “I won’t be back after this message.” To the profound by the cartoonist Bill Keane, “Did you ever realize that the little dash between the two dates on your gravestone (birth – death) will represent your entire lifetime?” To the inspirational by Pat Boone, “Address for eternity – heaven.”’ To the sad by executive producer and host for the television series “Life Styles of the Rich and the Famous”, Robin Leach, “Hi, this is Robin Leach standing outside the pearly gates!” Or the disturbing by

actor Anthony Franciosa, “As I lie here I can’t help thinking, my life has been a joke, and it’s no laughing matter.” In Larry King’s book, psychologist Dr. Laura Schlesinger wrote, “How arrogant to write your own epitaph!” Yet, we are all writing our own epitaph or obituary. Our life, our choices, actions, how we treat others, how we treat God and His Son Jesus Christ, and how we spend our time on earth will be remembered and brought into account when we stand before the throne of God. ‘For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. So, then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.” (Romans 14:9-12) In the end, all that really matters is what God thinks and says about us. Consider some epitaphs recorded for us in the Bible. Perhaps we can learn some lessons to help us live our lives well on earth. The thing that pleases God is faith

and obedience. Read the epitaphs of a multitude of great men and women listed in Hebrews 11. Able who was killed by his brother, left behind this obituary, ‘By faith Able oﬀered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts and by it he, being dead, yet speaks.” (Hebrews 11:4) “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found because God translated him, for before his translation he had this testimony that he pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5-6) Consider these inspiring examples of men and women who had great epitaphs and obituaries found in God’s Word. Esther, “Who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14) Moses, “Now the man, Moses, was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.” (Numbers 12:3) John the Baptist, and those in the kingdom of heaven by the new birth. (John 3:3) “Verily, I say unto you, among them that are born of woman there hath not risen a greater than John

the Baptist; notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” (Matthew 11:11) The centurion standing at the foot of the cross, speaking of Jesus, said, “Truly this was the Son of God.” (Matthew 27:54) The apostle Paul wrote his own obituary and included a promise for you to hold on to until you come to the end of your life, “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day and not to me only, but to all who love His appearing.” (II Timothy 4:7-8) We are writing our own epitaph by the choices we make each day. Choose life! “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) How will you be remembered when you are gone?

SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SYMBOLS OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY Many people consider St. Patrick’s Day their favorite holiday. St. Patrick’s Day celebrations tend to be short on formality, long on fun and synonymous with various sights, sounds and symbols that make the holiday so special. Shamrock In ancient Ireland, the shamrock symbolized rebirth, particularly the rebirth of warmer weather. But the shamrock also has more specific ties to St. Patrick, and remains one of the most recognizable symbols associated with his feast day. Historians believe that, on his return to Ireland (a native of Great Britain, St. Patrick was first taken to Ireland after being kidnapped by pirates, later returning as a Christian missionar y after his release), St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach the natives about the Holy Trinity. In fact, an image of St. Patrick holding a shamrock first appeared on coins in 1675. The shamrock’s status as a symbol would continue to evolve when it became a figure of Irish patriotism during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. In 2003, the shamrock was registered as an international

trademark by the Irish government. Irish Seisiún St. Patrick’s Day celebrants who are not of Irish descent and/or those who have never visited Ireland may not know it, but the live music they may hear when entering a pub on St. Patrick’s Day is an integral part of the fabric of Irish culture. An Irish Seisiún typically finds a group of musicians gathered in a pub to play traditional Irish music, oftentimes while seated at a table among their audience. While many pubs reserve stage areas for their musicians on St. Patrick’s Day, the spirit of seisiún is still present, as musicians often interact with the audience. The Tricolour Many establishments display the familiar Irish tricolour flag on St. Patrick’s Day, and paradegoers may even wave miniature versions of this significant symbol in support of those marching. This instantly recognizable flag has a rich history. Equal parts green, white and orange, the flag was designed to foster peace in the country that had experienced considerable turmoil due to the

Day, but celebrants may be surprised to learn that blue is the color that was once most affiliated with St. Patrick himself. Numerous paintings depict St. Patrick wearing blue vestments. But green is the color now most instantly associated with Ireland, which is widely referred to as the “Emerald Isle.” Ireland’s lush countryside and rolling green hills attract millions of visitors each year. The color green can be found just about everywhere on St. Patrick’s Day, Green The color green is every- even if Patrick himself was where come St. Patrick’s partial to blue. divide between the count r y’s Protest ant and Catholic residents. The green in the flag represents the Irish Catholics, while the orange represents the Irish Protestants. The white is a symbol of hope for peace between the two factions. Though Ireland established the tricolour as its national flag in 1921, it first appeared much earlier when Irish national Thomas Francis Meagher unfurled it in 1848.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep an open mind about a suggestion you see as unworkable. Give it a chance to prove itself one way or another. The results could surprise both supporters and detractors. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) News about an upcoming venture causes you to make some last-minute adjustments in your plans. But the extra work will pay off, as you come to learn more about the potential benefits opening up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A more positive aspect grows out of your determination to reach your immediate goals. Continue to keep your focus sharp and on target by steering clear of petty quarrels and other pesky problems. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) By acting as a voice of reason, you can avoid adding to an already turbulent situation. You might have to shout over the tumult, but your words ultimately will be heard and heeded. LEO (July 23 to August 22) The possibility of a new acquisition always makes those Leonine eyes light up. But be careful that what you see is what you want. Appearances often can be deceiving. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) No matter how much you might feel that you’re in the right, resist saying anything that could reignite a stillunresolved situation. Let the matter drop, and move on. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)

Help with a personal problem comes from an unexpected source. You also find workplace pressures easing. Use this period of calm to restore your spent energies. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might have to share the credit for that project you’re working on. But there’ll be enough credit to go around, and your efforts will be recognized and rewarded. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Details need to be dealt with before you can move on to another area. Make sure you don’t leave any loose ends that could later cause everything to unravel. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) News about a change in the workplace carries with it a challenge you could find difficult to resist. Check it out. It could be what you’ve been waiting for. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Allowing your artistic nature full expression will help restore your spirits and will put you in the mood to take on that new career challenge. A Libra creates excitement. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Expect to happily plunge right into a hectic social whirl starting at week’s end. Your aspects favor new friendships as well as the strengthening of old relationships. BORN THIS WEEK: Your spiritual strength is an inspiration to others. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
