Bailee Dykstra, Levi Brown and Mika Taylor The Section 21 FFA Public Speaking Career Development Event was recently hosted by Kaskaskia College's Agriculture Department staff and students. Three Sandoval FFA members took part in the event. Mika Taylor and Levi Brown participated in the Extemporaneous division. In the Extemporaneous Public Speaking CDE, participants are given 30 minutes to deliver a speech on one of three assigned agricultural topics. Students must learn to think on their feet and develop an argument quickly and persuasively. Sandoval freshman Bailee Dykstra participated in the FFA Creed divi-
sion. Students must present the FFA Creed from memory and answer questions about its meaning and purpose. The event boosts self-confidence, develops their ability to communicate in a powerful, professional manner. FFA members who demonstrate outstanding speaking and communication skills are enhancing their ability to lead and be successful in the work place. FFAβs mission is to dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES SIGN CAREER AGREEMENT The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) announces that all 39 community college districts across the state have signed on to participate in the Comprehensive Agreement Regarding the Expansion of Educational Resources (CAREER Agreement). This agreement allows community colleges to share the career and technical education (CTE) programs of each institution and provide students with access to programs that might otherwise be unavailable to the student in his or her home community college district. βThe CAREER Agreement capitalizes on the finances, facilities, equipment, and personnel of each college to expand student access to degree and certificate programs in high demand career and technical education fields,β said Dr. Karen Hunter Anderson, executive director of the ICCB. βThe fact that all 39 districts have signed on to participate in this voluntary agreement
reflects the systemβs commitment to providing affordable, accessible educational opportunities for students.β Under the terms of the agreement, students may take advantage of CTE programs offered at any other Illinois community college if the program is not offered in their home district. The students benefit by paying the resident tuition and fee rates, despite living outside the community college district. The agreement also eliminates charges assessed to the studentβs in-district community college when a student enrolls pursuant to this agreement at a community college outside his or her district. The Illinois Community College Board is the state coordinating board for community colleges. Illinois is home to 48 community colleges in 39 districts and has the third largest community college system in the nation serving nearly 850,000 residents each year in credit and non-credit courses.

A NEW BEGINNING The founding of the Methodist Children's Home of the Southern Illinois Conference began in the heart of an orphan boy, Dan W. Hopkins, who later became a Methodist preacher and served as a supply pastor. He was orphaned at the age of 10 and grew up with a desire to do something for children who were underprivileged as he had been. The home was officially opened on the first of February, 1913. The methods in child care have undergone a great many changes since the home first came into being. There was a time when it was considered that the more children who could be crowded into an institution, the greater the service of that institution. We now know much more about the needs of care. So from 1913 to today there have been many changes, added services, huge growth, and caring for and toward the communities served by United Methodist Children's Home which is no longer totally an orphans home. But today, big things are happening, although the same faith based organization offers the same services with plans for serving hundreds more in 2017. In 2016 United Methodist Children's Home served 1,000 people β children, families and adolescents. But today as Dr. John Shadowens, President and CEO said so appropriately in his opening speech on Thursday, March 30 at the Drury Inn in Mt. Vernon when the announcement was made, with all new beginnings comes name change. The board recently met and voted unanimously to change the name to Spero Family Services, Hope β’ Help β’ Healing. As said by Spero Board Member Tony Wielt, "It is so much more than a children's home yet for many of us in Southern Illinois when we hear the name United Methodist Children's Home that's what we think. Frankly, the name was not descriptive enough of the body of work that we do." The new brand is a name that is rooted in Godβs love and promise of an abundant life. βSperoβ is the Latin word for βI hopeβ from the phrase βWhile I

yet breathe, I have hope.β The new name, pronounced like βsparrow,β speaks to the agencyβs core value of providing hope, help and healing to those longing for a better life. The new agency logo, a stylized anchor, is rich in imagery and meaning. The top of the anchor is a cross; at the bottom a sparrowβs head βits wings intertwined with the anchor. This represents the very heart of agencyβs mission and values. The rising anchor is a symbol for Hope. - βWe have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.β Hebrews 6:19. When a shipβs anchor weighs, or is raised up, it signals the beginning of a new voyage, a new adventure. The stylized image of the bird reminds us of the value God places on us in Matthew 10:29-31. βThis was a historic day in the Un it e d Me t h o d i s t Childrenβs Homeβs history, and with this new name, we are poised to grow and help even more individuals, youth, and families β which we could not do without the support of our donors, church partners, and businesses in the communities we ser ve,β says John Shadowens, President &
CEO of Spero Family Services. Although the name has changed, the mission and vision remain the same. The strong and enduring tradition and affiliation with the United Methodist Church also remains the same. This new name opens more doors for support, and allows the people throughout Southern Illinois to become more aware of the full array of services available in addition to the youth homes in M t . Ve r n o n a n d Murphysboro. Those other services include outpatient counseling services with locations in 6 counties throughout the region; a Foster Care program, a Youthbuild program to help teens get their HSE/ GED and learn a trade, parenting support, an on campus school, a nursefamily partnership program that helps first-time mothers, transitional living, and Bright Start, a faithbased childcare center in Mt. Vernon. Learn more by visiting sperofs.org. Spero Family Services welcomes volunteers (groups and individuals), mentors and potential new foster parents.

HEIGHTS FINANCE The Presidency in Crisis! That was the introduction going into Meet the Press on Sunday. I guess that's what the liberals like Chuck Todd call fair and balanced! I certainly don't. At a press conference last week a CBS reporter questioned White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and literally put words in his mouth, with Spicer calling him out on it! The last two months have been totally crazy. And what the Democrats as well as the Republican establishment are seeing is Trump supporters aren't buying in, but only getting stronger! Why aren't we talking about what the President is doing? Like what he's doing to help the American people, even with all the roadblocks the rocket scientists in Washington and the liberal media are throwing out! Chuck Schumer is jumping up and down against the vote next week for Supreme C our t nominee Neil Gorsuch. I predict he will be confirmed. He's more than qualified, with an excellent track record. At this point there is a majority that will vote for this nominee. It was Schumer that changed the rules that he's upset about now, I think, in 2013. Now he wants to change them back! Schumer's complaint is
that Neil Gorsuch is conservative. Imagine that; he's replacing Justice Antonin Scalia. The bottom line is Schumer doesn't have the votes to filibuster. Schumer's prediction is Neil Gorsuch won't be confirmed as a Supreme Court Judge. My prediction is he will. No matter what, it will be lively this week in the Senate. The big question is: It's 70 days in and where are we in the Trump Presidency? Frankly, if I were a House Democrat I would be very nervous in 2018. The last thing this is, in my opinion, is a Presidency in crisis. On to the Russians. Former FBI Agent Clint Watts says the Russians are still at it, waiting for the U.S. to crumble from within. He said on Meet the Press," The Russians were (and are still involved) on a state to state basis! What was interesting was he said they pushed for Trump as well as B ernie at times. Hmmm! Let's see. Russia wanted Bernie to win in the primary against Hillary and Trump to win in the general against Hillary. Maybe now it's coming to light. It was discussed years ago that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was "involved in the last Russian election" against Putin. Maybe this
whole Russia thing is they were paying Hillary back! If the Russians are involved John McCain says it's an act of war! Is he beating the war drums? The bottom line is the majority of the American people were fed up and are still fed up. Our elected officials, both Democrat and Republican, need to start doing what they're supposed to do, start working together and get things done. Prime example: There is no reason American citizens can't have access to a healthcare plan that works. Instead of being concerned about Obama's legacy, sit down and get it together.And if they had the same insurance (Obamacare), they would fix it! In closing, I've gotten a number of calls about a book I mentioned last week, The Art of the Deal, written by Donald Trump. The most important chapter to read is Chapter II. Check with your local library or order it at your favorite bookstore. Until next week. Vote on April 4, 2017! To comment on this or any column in The Shopperβs Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area recorded by Caruso, and "Song of India" as cut by violinist Fritz Kreisler. Could you please tell me if they have any value and, if so, where I can sell them. Γ’€” Robert, Daytona Beach, Florida A: Your 78s are worth about a dollar each. Despite rumors to the contrary, most of the Victor Red Deal recordings by Caruso have very little value. Serious collectors are more interested in his more scarce sessions, such as the ones he had at Zonophone. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

Sarah, Toledo, Ohio A: Your bowl was crafted by Diane Koenig, a studio potter operating in the Hudson, Ohio, area. According to "The Encyclopedia of U.S. Marks on Pottery, Porcelain & Clay," by Lois Lehner and published by Collector Books, Koenig makes wheelthrown graffito and slipware pieces, mostly in blue and white, black and white or combinations of those colors. She graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1976 and has worked as a potter ever since. *** Q: I have two 78-rpm records, "Like a Dream"

Q: When I was a youngster growing up in Illinois, I was quite the fan of Rin-TinTin. I ate Nabisco Shredded Wheat since the company sponsored the television series. I have the "Adventures of Rin-Tin-Tin" board game and the magic brassring set. I am not interested in selling, but I have wondered what they might be worth. Incidentally, I had a dog that I named Rin-TinTin. Γ’€” Carl, El Paso, Texas A: Warner Brothers introduced The Wonder Dog in 1923, and the talented German Shepherd became an instant star and generated so much money that
he actually saved the studio from bankruptcy. Rin-TinTin starred in 19 films for Warner Brothers between 1923 and 1930. He was also featured on both radio and television. Your board game is valued in the $50 to $150 range, depending on condition, according to Ted Hake, author of the "Price Guide of Character Toys." If your brass-ring collection is complete, Hake believes it could be worth as much as $600. *** Q: I have a small bowl that I was given several years ago. The only mark on it is "Koenig." Can you tell me anything about it? Γ’€”

Γ’€Λ On April 5, 1792, George Washington exercises the first presidential veto of a Congressional bill, which proposed a new plan for dividing seats in the House of Representatives. Washington decided that the bill would have resulted in a higher number of representatives than that proscribed by the Constitution. Γ’€Λ On April 3, 1860, the first Pony Express mail, traveling by horse and rider relay teams, simultaneously leaves St. Joseph, Missouri, and Sacramento, California. Ten days later, the westbound rider arrived in Sacramento, beating the eastbound mail packet by two days. Γ’€Λ On April 8, 1916, at the Boulevard Race in Corona, California, an early racing car careens through a barrier and into a crowd after a wheel breaks, killing the driver and two others. "Wild Bob" Burman had
previously set a world speed record for hitting 129 mph. Γ’€Λ On April 7, 1920, Indian sitar legend Ravi Shankar is born in India. Shankar's "discovery" by the Beatles' George Harrison in 1965 made him a household name around the world and changed the music sound of the '60s. Γ’€Λ On April 4, 1933, a dirigible crashes in New Jersey, killing 73 people in one of the first air disasters in history. The Akron was the largest airship built in the United States. Γ’€Λ On April 6, 1970, Sam Sheppard, a doctor convicted of murdering his pregnant wife in a trial that caused a media frenzy in the 1950s, dies of liver failure. After a decade in prison, Sheppard was freed following a re-trial. His story is rumored to have inspired the television series "The Fugitive." ΓΕ 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
The Trinity and the Cross Iβve always viewed St Patrickβs Day as a harbinger of spring. St Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. As a young man, Patrick was captured by raiders off the coast of England and was sold as a slave to a farmer in Ireland. Patrick prayed that if God would help him escape and get back to his family in England, he would serve God all the days of his life. Patrick did escape, took a ship back to England, studied for the priesthood, and returned to Ireland as a missionary.

For More Information
Legend says that Patrick used a cross to drive all the snakes out of Ireland and miracles followed his ministry. To teach his many converts about the Trinity of the God-head, Patrick used the threeleaved shamrock to demonstrate the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as the great three-in-one. The apostle Paul speaks of the cross more than any other writer of the Bible. In his epistles, he refers constantly to the trinity. This Lenten season, focus on the trinity and the cross. βBut now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ . . . For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.β (Ephesians 2:13, 18) THE POWER OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST. The central theme of the epistles of Paul is the cross. As St Patrick was delivered from slavery and, as legend says, used the cross to drive the snakes out of Ireland, so Christβs cross delivered us from the power of sin, death, and

Satan. (Ephesians 2:1-3) βBut because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ.β (Ephesians 2:4-8) Through the cross we have been raised up in heavenly realms with Christ. (Ephesians 2:6) Through the cross of Christ, the Father has a wonderful destiny for you. (Ephesians 2:10) Through the cross we have been reconciled to the Father, βbrought near by the blood of Christ.β (Ephesians 2:13) In the cross, Jew and Gentile have access to the Father by one Spirit. In the old covenant of only the high priest could enter with blood into the presence of God. In the new covenant of the blood of Christ, through the βveil of His fleshβ, all believers have access to God! (Ephesians 2:16-18) The Holy Spirit honors the blood. Through the cross both Jew and Gentile become one new man. Our body becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. (Ephesians 2:22) THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST TO THE CROSS. βAnd being found in appearance of a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death β even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place.β (Philippians 2:6-11) In the Garden of Gethsemane,

Which "Mount" provided a contest scene between Elijah and the proph e t s of B a a l ? Calvary, Sinai, Bethel, Carmel 4. From Luke 6.1, who, with companions, went through cornfields and
Jesus prayed to the Father as He faced the cross. He prayed three times, βMy Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.β (Matthew 26:36-44) Isaiah prophesied of Gethsemane, the cross, and the resurrection. βYet it was the Lordβs will to crush him and cause him to suffer and, though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin . . . After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied.β (Isaiah 53:1011) Because Jesus was obedient to death on the cross, God has exalted Him and given Him the name above all names, βthat at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow; and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.β (Philippians 2:10-11) When you see that shimmering shamrock of St Patrickβs, let it remind you of the work of the trinity and the cross. Bow your knee before the Lord Jesus Christ and confess Him as Lord. βBecause, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.β (Romans 10:9) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

GIVE BLOOD AND HELP SAVE LIVES THIS SPRING Eligible blood donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood through the American Red Cross this spring to help ensure a sufficient supply for hospital patients. Donated blood is perishable and must constantly be replenished to keep up with hospital patient need. Red blood cells are the blood component most frequently transfused by hospitals and must be used within 42 days of donation. Eligible donors can give red blood cells through either a regular whole blood donation or a Power Red donation, where available. Power Red donors give a concentrated dose of red blood cells during a single donation, allowing them to maximize their impact. During this type of donation, red blood cells are separated from other blood components, and the plasma and platelets are safely and comfortably returned to the donor. While donors of all blood types are encouraged to give blood, type O, A negative and B negative donors are urged to give Power Reds if they meet the additional eligibility criteria. Type O negative is the universal blood type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type in an emergency. Similarly, type O positive can be transfused to Rh-positive patients of any blood type. Types A negative and B negative can be transfused to Rh-positive or negative patients. Power Red donations help ensure a stable supply of these critical blood types. Whole blood can be donated every 56 days, up to six times a year, and Power Red donations may be made

every 112 days, up to three times per year.

β’ Here's one for hamster owners out there, from C.H. in Utah: "If your dwarf hamster makes much noise when running in its wheel (especially metal wheels), just lube it with a little olive oil. Just a drop or two will make the wheel turn smoothly and silently, without posing any harm to the little ones in case they lick it. β’ "Put battery-operated lights on each wall in the main rooms for when there are power outages." β M.W. in Iowa β’ W.T. from "The Road" (he's an RV traveler) is looking for suggestions to remove the smell from the lid of glass jars to make them reusable β say, salsa jars or peanut butter jars.

It will help prevent them from getting fuzzballs." β M.W. in Saskatchewan, Canada β’ "If you are training a puppy or your fur baby has an accident on the carpet, here's how to prevent a reoccurrence in the same spot: Blot up urine, then saturate the spot with club soda. Allow it to sit for five minutes, then blot with paper towels." β S.S. in Arkansas β’ "In this day of recycling and reusing, before I discard an item, I look to see if any part of it can be reused.

ARTHRITIS LINKED TO ANOTHER CONDITION
P
eople who see dermatologists for the skin condition psoriasis should not take the presence of joint aches and pains lightly, as the two things might be connected. The National Psoriasis Foundation notes that psoriasis is a precursor to psoriatic arthritis in 30 percent of patients. What is psoriatic arthritis? Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that affects the rate of skin cell reproduction. People with psoriasis may experience redness, itchiness and raised bumps (plaques) of skin on various areas of their bodies. Psoriatic arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis that typically occurs in people with skin psoriasis, but also can be present in those without the skin condition, but particularly among those who have relatives with psoriasis. The American College of Rheumatology says that psoriatic arthritis typically

affects the large joints, especially the lower extremities, distal joints of the fingers and toes and the back and sacroiliac joints of the pelvis. Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis are crucial to relieving inflammation and preventing permanent joint damage. Symptoms Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis can develop gradually or quickly, and some symptoms can be severe. N P F i n d i c at e s t h at common symptoms of psoriatic arthritis include β’ morning stiο¬ness and tiredness; β’ tenderness, pain and swelling over tendons; β’ swollen fingers and toes; β’ reduced range of motion; β’ nail changes, including pitting, and β’ redness and pain in the eyes. Symptoms of psoriatic arthritis are similar to rheumatoid arthritis, gout and reactive arthritis.
Doctors will rule out other symptoms that may be indicative of those conditions. The American College of Rheumatology also indicates that psoriatic arthritis is typically blood test negative. The diagnosis is typically made by a rheumatologist after reviewing a clinical history and performing a physical exam.

A HEALTHIER YOU BY CATHY STUEHMEIER
Recently we've been hearing a lot about reflexology. We are all looking for ways to get to a healthier place in our lives so we can enjoy life, leading to the subject of reflexology possibly, and for some, offering a healthier you! A friend of mine recently told me about her trip to Troy Reed of Reed Reflexology, with offices located in Centralia and Salem. She explained that reflexology is not massage therapy, but it's a science that deals with reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond with glands,
organs and other parts of the body. Stimulating these reflex points properly can possibly help many of our health problems. In my friend's case, she was much improved after treatment, leading me to talk about Reed Reflexology and Natural Wellness. Troy Reed is from Iuka, Illinois. He went to the International Institute of Reflexology in St. Petersburg, Florida. Troy was certified in 2010 and shortly thereafter he started Reed Reflexology. I, for one, plan on giving reflexology a try.

What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology is a serious advance in the health field and should not be confused with massage.

THE ROLE INSULIN PLAYS IN THE BODY
I
nsulin plays a key role in metabolic functions in the body. People with diabetes have an intimate knowledge of insulin, particularly if they do not produce enough naturally. However, the rest of the public may be less knowledgeable about the role of insulin and its impact on overall health. Insulin is produced in the pancreas of the human body. Its most important function is the way it interacts with glucose (blood sugar) to allow the cells of the body to use that glucose as energy. Insulin can be viewed as a type of key that unlocks the cells and enables glucose to enter. The pan-
creas senses when there is a spike in glucose in the bloodstream and reacts by producing insulin. According to the Hormone Health Network, insulin also works to ensure the liver stores excess glucose so that it is not actively in the blood. Stored glucose is called glycogen. This glycogen can be converted into fat when it is needed. Insulin also affects other metabolic processes, such as the breakdown of protein or fat. If insulin is not being produced in the right amounts, the result is high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia is the hallmark of diabetes mellitus.
Complications of high blood sugar include damage to the nervous system, kidneys, eyes, and the extremities. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin. Supplementation with insulin will be necessary to avoid drastic changes in blood glucose levels. When a person has type 2 diabetes, cells fail to respond to insulin properly. This is referred to as insulin resistance. As the disease progresses, a lack of insulin may also develop. Typically with this type of diabetes, excessive body weight and not enough exercise are the culprits in insulin re-
sistance. Eating a healthier diet and becoming more physically active can help reverse the condition. Too little glucose in the blood (hypoglycemia) can make a person feel irritable, tired or confused. Low blood sugar can lead to loss of consciousness. That is why it is crucial that blood sugar concentrations remain relatively stable. Without insulin, the body could not effectively make use of the energy obtained through eating and drinking. Insulin helps unlock cells so that glucose can be used to its full potential.

HOW WOMEN CAN PROTECT AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS
A
bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone or both, osteoporosis can be debilitating. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis is responsible for two million broken bones each year, a figure that experts predict with rise to three million by 2025. While anyone can suffer from osteoporosis, women are more likely than men to develop the disease. Studies suggest that while up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis, one in two women age 50 and older are likely to suffer such a fate. The NOF notes that osteoporosis is often referred to as a silent disease, with many people not even realizing they have it until they suffer a fracture. Because of the silent nature of os-
17
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
teoporosis and their increased vulnerability to it, women may want to take the following measures to protect themselves against this potentially debilitating disease. β’ Include ample calcium and vitamin D in your diet. The NOF notes that calcium and vitamin D are both vital to building strong, dense bones when youβre young, and both calcium and vitamin D keep bones strong and healthy as the body ages. Women age 50 and younger need 1,000 milligrams of calcium each day, while those 51 and older need 1,200 milligrams each day. Calcium-rich foods include dairy products like low- or non-fat milk, yogurt and cheese. Women age 50 and younger need between 400 and 800 international units (IU) of vitamin D each day, while those age 50 and older need between 800 and 1,000 IU each day. The
and sodas, can decrease calcium absorption and contribute to bone loss as well. Drink alcohol and caf-
body can get vitamin D from sunlight and supplements or multivitamins. Vitamin D is naturally available in just a few foods, such as fatty fish like wildcaught salmon or tuna. β’ Include weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises in your workout routine. Weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises help women build and maintain bone density. Weight-bearing exercises include dancing, highimpact aerobics, jogging/ running, and tennis, among others. Musclestrengthening activities include weightlifting and elastic band exercises. The NOF notes that certain positions in exercises such as yoga and pilates may not be safe for people with osteoporosis or those at increased risk of broken bones. Speak to a physical therapist about which positions or exercises to avoid. β’ Pay attention to the beverages you drink. Itβs not just the foods you eat that can help or hurt you in the fight against osteoporosis. Heavy consumption of alcohol can contribute to bone loss, while drinks that contain caffeine, including coffee, tea
feinated beverages in moderation. Women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis
than men. Learn more about the disease at www. nof.org.

five or more breeds and mixed breeds it's a puppy mill. 5. Multiple litters. When you call and they say they have a waiting list on litters they have and a waiting list on the unborn, more than likely you are looking at a puppy mill. If the breeder has 30 puppies, it's definitely a puppy mill. 6. Vaccinations. Puppy mills do not like to spend money. That being said, more than likely the parents may not be vaccinated (always ask). Puppies have probably not been not vaccinated or there are so many they've been done twice. 7. Beware of breeders making promises. If you have a certain mix and they promise that the dog will have a certain type of quality of one breed or the other, steer clear. 8. Cleanliness. Puppy mill puppies will likely have a smell like a kennel and they have poor coat quality. 9. Breeders should care enough about what happens to a puppy that she / he should have a contract protecting you both. 10. Too young. There is a certain age you are allowed to take a puppy from his/her mother. If the breeder lets you take them before time, more than likely it's because they
do not want to have that extra expense. Neglect is one other form of abuse. It is the failure to provide basic care required for an animal to thrive. According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, at first glance cases may seem less egregious than a single brutal act of violent abuse, but severe neglect can mean extended periods of extreme suffering resulting in permanent injury or even death. The Animal Legal Defense Fund maintains a database of criminal cases in the U.S. It was reported to their organization 30% of cases that they tracked was animal neglect, often associated with human neglect. This could mean the elderly, or young children, or other dependents. Neglect could also include handling animals on a large scale as the puppy mills mentioned earlier, or hoarding animals. We as a community need to put a stop to the cruelty of animals. They cannot speak for themselves. We are responsible for those who are unable to defend themselves. April may be set aside for the awareness of animal cruelty, but we as human beings should always be the voice of those that cannot be heard.
TO REPORT ANIMAL ABUSE, NEGLECT OR DOG FIGHT:
REPORT IT TO YOUR LOCAL OR STATE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IN EMERGENCY CALL 911. ALSO CONTACT YOUR ANIMAL CONTROL AGENCY, THE SPCA AND THE HUMANE SOCIETY.

DEAR PAWβS CORNER: My cat "Sheena" has had horrible bad breath for the past six months, and nothing seems to help. She is almost 14 years old, spayed and in good health. I supplement her diet occasionally with a pill β brewer's yeast and garlic β crushed up in her food. I also use special dentalcare dry foods and dentalcare treats. I brush her teeth (when she lets me) and massage her gums. I also put parsley in her wet food occasionally. What else can I try? β Deborah W., via email DEAR DEBOR AH:
Pets Of The Week
Washington County Animal Control 17990 Richview Road Nashville, IL 62263 618-327-9471
Cat's Bad Breath Defies Treatment
From your email it appears that Sheena sees the vet regularly, which is important for senior pets in particular. While bad breath (halitosis) often is due to dental problems like gingivitis β where bacteria builds up in the mouth around the gums and contributes to a foul odor β other conditions like diabetes, digestive disorders, cancer and even sinus inflammation have bad breath as a symptom. So make sure cats with chronic halitosis get a complete exam to rule out other underlying issues. As for home solutions to simple halitosis: You're doing all the right things. However, as Sheena ages, her immune system might make her more vulnerable to gum disease. Keep it up, especially massaging her gums and trying to brush her teeth. Instead of a brush, you could try swiping her teeth with a

Signature Sauce of the
A SALUTE TO THE CENTRALIA ANIMAL SHELTER BY CATHY STUEHMEIER
As it's been said over and over, even though there are people in the world working on prevention of animal cruelty, every 60 seconds an animal is abused, according to the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). And for every animal abused, there are many more dumped by uncaring owners as well as irresponsible people who don't have their dogs and cats spayed and neutered. Many of these precious puppies and kittens don't have happy endings. No one works harder to prevent these unforgivable situations from happening than The City of Centralia with the help of Bobby Patton II and the kind, dedicated people at the Centralia Animal Shelter including Kim Abbott, the shelter manager. So what does the Centralia Animal Shelter do? To start with, it's realistic for me to say the facility is as close to a no-kill shelter as it can come. These hardworking, dedicated people, along with Jean Lloyd, have saved thousands of innocent lives with the help of monetary donations from business and local residents. The breakdown of statistics from 2016: There were 624 cats and dogs taken in by the Centralia Animal Shelter. Out of those 624 animals, 470 were adopted and went to rescues. That's 75%. 121 were returned to owners, at 20%. The last 5% were euthanized. These dogs and cats were
beyond help either because of severe injury or illness or because they were deemed dangerous and beyond rehabilitation. At the end of 2016, 95% were placed with loving, caring families or in rescues waiting for their forever homes. So if you're like me, an animal lover and activist, my time and money is going to the Centralia Animal Shelter. And I'm not alone, starting with a $10,000 donation by the late Mrs. Wilson Estate (husband, Jerry Wilson) to pay for a badly needed addition to be completed in 2017. Thanks also to Borowiak's IGA in Centralia for the donation of thousands of dollars worth in cat and dog food, including treats; thanks to Buchheit for dog and cat food donations; and thanks to Wal-Mart for their weekly donation of food. Than ks to many schools in Centralia. In addition, thanks to the residents of the area that donate everything from paper towels to dog food and cat food. Some donate gas cards to help transport animals to rescue centers as well as to veterinarian visits, plus make cash donations for spaying and neutering. All the above is still greatly needed, and your help for the animals is appreciated. And thank you to those like Mrs. Jerry Wilson and others that have left money from their estates to carry on their love for the innocent dogs and cats that need and deserve a loving forever home.
If you see a dog, cat or any animal being abused, please call Bobby Patton at Centralia City Hall. The Centralia Animal S h e l t e r h o u r s a re Monday, Thursday and Friday 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Or you can call Kim at 533-7647. Your help is desperately needed.

by Samantha Weaver β’ It was the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who made the following sage obser vation: "Government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob." β’ You might be surprised to learn that Helen Keller, best known as the first blind and deaf person to earn a bachelor's degree, loved performing.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful about doing someone a favor when you donβt know the full story behind the request. Donβt rely on someoneβs unsubstantiated assurances. Insist on all the facts before you act. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That workplace problem still needs your attention before you finally can close the book on it. Meanwhile, a longanticipated reunion gets closer to becoming a happy reality. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be demanding more from others than they can give. Best advice: Have a long and frank talk to determine what the facts are. Tensions should abate as the week winds down. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Aspects are favorable throughout this week for making contacts that could be important to your career plans. Meanwhile, an old friend offers the advice youβre seeking. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Itβs time to stop licking your wounds from past mistakes. Get up and get going toward your future. Loyal friends will be there to help the Lion get back into rip-roaring shape. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Take time out to go over whatβs expected of you before you begin your new project. Otherwise, you run the risk of pushing yourself harder than you need to. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An unusual request could put you
in an awkward position. Best advice: Deal with it immediately. The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be to get out of it. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You should feel recharged and ready for whatever your workaday world holds for you. The same positive energy spills over into your personal relationships. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A prospect might be less than it appears to be. Like the Archer in your sign, you always aim for the truth. And this is no time to settle for less than full disclosure. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Start doing some serious thinking about a career move that could entail more than just changing job sites. Some lifestyle changes also might be involved. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With tensions easing at the workplace, a more positive environment once again encourages the free flow of ideas so typical of the alwaysinnovative Aquarian. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Show some of that usually hidden steel-strong Piscean backbone, and stand up for yourself if you hope to make a case for that promotion you know you deserve. BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy doing new things and staying ahead of the crowd. You would make a fine sports coach or military leader. Β© 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Students at Lake Superior State University gather on (or near) the first day of spring for the annual Snow m an Bu r n i ng .
