second half throwing up bricks, letting North Carolina go on runs, getting anywhere near the lead with four m i n u t e s t o p l a y. Whatever they needed to do (outside the obvious, making their shots) -- be it call more timeouts, fewer timeouts, purchase ACME products and build a tremendous wall around their basket -- it should have been done. It should have been done because everyone in the stadium or watching on TV saw that North Carolina finished like a steam train -- a really fast and powerful steam train — the kind that gets fouled in the paint and wins championships. They kept flogging the whole "#redemption" angle of the game ... that the boys were struggling from the aftereffects of horrendous PTSD for having been in the finals last year, too. What it showed was a remarkable consistency and tenacity. North Carolina is in a different class. It doesn't make a difference how many they invite to the dance ... the Southern belle from Chapel Hill left with the crown yet again.

Southern Belle "North Carolina folks b e i ng w hat Nor t h Carolina folks are and such ... Tar Heels ... people who don't budge an inch backward, it should come to you as no surprise that the dadgum lot of them brought home a new set of silver for the table, yessir." ... something someone like Mark Twain could have said, while wearing seersucker and sipping sweet tea. So North Carolina has its sixth championship, and coach Roy Williams has his third after a notso-thrilling final that capped off a very thrilling tournament in 2017. The nearly flawless Gonzaga Bulldogs, the great spirit of Spokane, finally went from bracket buster to Butler-style heartbreaker, while North Carolina cemented the notion that you have to take the belt from a champion. Going into the finals, the Gonzaga storyline
was well-trodden. Mark Few is quite a basketball mind, and he has steadily built his program into perennial, outer-fringe contenders since the Clinton administration. This year, with a steppedup foreign-student program, the Zags ripped through the regular season and worked their way into the finals on the strength of a strong inside game and tight defense. Not so for the Tar Heels. They were down in almost every contest. Down five to Kentucky. Down eight to Oregon, and yes, even down seven to Gonzaga at one point. But they refused to go away each time. And it's why the rankings meant nothing when the two programs took to the floor. As soon as the Heels came out for warmups, the Gonzaga players knew it was for Mark Vasto is a veteran real.

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog. –Mark Twain
letters to the editor
I challenge all those Trump voters who criticized President Obama for playing golf (primarily at U.S. military bases) to read the following article by Niamh McIntyre from the Independent Daily Edition, April 6, 2017. "Donald Trump's travel expenses in 10 weeks cost U.S. taxpayers as much as Barack Obama spent in two years." Donald Trump's trips to his luxury Florida resort have already cost the U.S. taxpayer at least $24 million, roughly as much as Barack Obama spent on travel in the first two years of his presidency. Mr. Trump has spent seven weekends at Mar-aLago since taking office ten weeks ago. It is estimated that each of these trips costs at least $3 million, covering the President's extensive security detail. In total, Mr. Obama's travel bill over the eight years of his presidency came to $97 million — an average of $12.1 million a
year. President Trump almost matched this figure in his first month, spending $10 million on three golfing holidays. The cost of travel and security for the entire Trump family is likely to be much higher, as the First Lady, Melania, and Mr. Trump's youngest son, Barron, are remaining in New York until at least September. The New York Police Department has confirmed that it costs between $127,000 and $146,000 a day to protect the First Lady and her son while they reside in Trump Tower. After he hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, Mr. Trump will have averaged $2.4 million a week on his Florida trips. If he keeps going at this pace, he will have outspent Mr. Obama's $97 million figure in just 10 months. Critics have pointed out that if the President cut back on these visits, he
could fund the social and arts programs that he is planning to slash. Before his inauguration, Mr. Trump regularly criticized Mr. Obama for playing golf while holding office. [In May 2016 President Trump stated,] "I don't think I'd ever see anything. I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who's gonna leave? I mean, who's gonna leave?"

Next week should be a busy week in Washington, D.C. On the president's agenda: Tax reform and another push for healthcare. First on the to-do list: Tax Reform. As Trump puts it, with "massive tax cuts." Don't be surprised if the package doesn't include simplifying the system which has become extremely complicated. Overhauling the U.S. tax code was on the Top 10 List as a campaign pledge from Donald Trump. The principles and priorities will be announced on Wednesday, but keep in mind, under U.S. law, only Congress can make significant tax law changes, though the president often drives the tax agenda by offering legislation. To confirm the above, one administration official has said, 'We are moving forward on comprehensive tax reform that cuts tax rates for individuals, simplifies our overly complicated system, and creates jobs by making American business competitive." As I've stated more than once, I believe in an uncomplicated tax system, meaning individuals pay a flat tax. In other words, you take your income times a certain percent, and that's what you pay. On a corporate level, take the gross, minus expenses, equals net, and your tax rate is a percent of that. A flat tax for all. You pay nothing in, you get nothing back. In the current system, there are those that pay nothing in and get federal income taxes back. What? Trump
is right, our tax system is BROKEN! On to healthcare reform, another issue on Trump's agenda this week. The President has recently said, "I want to finish healthcare before starting on tax reform." This statement came after the GOP failed efforts last month to repeal and replace Obamacare. Ultimately, I believe Trump's plan is to tie tax reform and healthcare together, monetarily, that is: Cut costs on healthcare and subsidize tax dollars. In other words, all the healthcare savings goes into the tax cut. On to France's Presidential elections. It's looking good for far right winger Marine Le Pen and another top candidate, Emmanuel Macron. This highly contested race started with eleven candidates, was narrowed down to four, and after yet another terrorist attack last week, it's looking better for Ms. Le Pen, because along the campaign trail she promised to tighten the border. The French will go to the polls again on May 7, but also went to the polls last Sunday, April 23. Yes, candidates are pitted against each other twice with a second run off. Could be Americans could learn something by voting on Sunday when most could find time to vote. Marine Le Pen, a former lawyer, is taking the far right group in a decidedly different direction than her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen. So time will tell! Is this election important? In the world we live
in, every election is important and to be watched. The world today is a hotbox, with Syria, North Korea, and Iran, as well as Russia, and NO, Trump didn't create this. Closing on the French elections and Russia, Chuck Todd, on Meet the Press Sunday morning, insinuated Russia was involved in the current French election. Really, Chuck. It's a poor attempt at trying to put Russian involvement back in the news. And last but not least, the voice of reason has been silenced, that being Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. Who will suffer the most? I'd say Fox, especially as they are trending toward the liberal side, with people like Chris Wallace. Mr. O'Reilly will receive a maximum of one year's salary following his firing! And after just signing a new one-year contract reportedly worth $25 million a year, I think he'll be okay. His removal came after a bombshell New York Times was released. Bill O'Reilly released a statement denying the claims of sexual harassment, calling them completely unfounded. Tucker Carlson will now fill O'Reilly's 8:00 p.m. time slot. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
The Healing Waters Multitudes of sick and suffering people lay around a pool in the temple compound called the Pool of Bethesda. At certain times an angel was believed to come down and stir up the waters and the first suffering soul into the pool would be healed. (John 5:1-23) Miracles of healing were not uncommon in Jewish history and culture. In the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites multitudes were bitten by fiery serpents and died because of their rebellious hearts. Moses was instructed to make a brazen serpent, put it on a pole, and all who would look at it would be healed. (Numbers 21) Healing has always been a part of the gospel. On a certain feast day, Jesus went to the pool of Bethesda. No one recognized him. But when Jesus is in the house, miracles happen. There is healing water available for you. Note how Jesus made this impotent man of 38 years whole. JESUS DEMONSTRATES THE MERCY OF GOD! Bethesda means "mercy". The pool of Bethesda was by the sheep's gate. This was the gate where the animals that were to be sacrificed on the temple altar were brought through. It signified that

mercy comes through Jesus, the Lamb of God. "He was led as a lamb to slaughter . . . But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:7, 5) G o d ' s me rc y c ome s through the sheep's gate. Healing waters f low through the Lamb of God. At the pool lay a multitude of "sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the waters." (John 5:3) This signified the condition of Judaism and our spiritual condition. "For when we were without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly . . . But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:6-10) Interestingly, water and blood flowed out of Christ's side when he was pierced with a Roman spear. (John 19:34) Meet Jesus at Bethesda by the sheep's gate, the place of mercy. JESUS DECLARES THE GRACE OF GOD! "I will declare your name to my brethren." (Hebrews 2:1213) The pool of Bethesda had five porches. The number five stands for God's grace and favor throughout the Bible. For instance, Joseph showed favor to his brother Benja-
min by giving him five portions of food and raiment. Jesus went to this man who had been in his condition for 38 years. "Do you want to be well?" Jesus asked him. He replied that he had no one to put him into the pool and someone always got there first. Like so many, he focused not on Jesus but himself, on others, and his traditions. Jesus declared the grace of God. "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." And immediately the man was made well. He took up his bed and walked." (John 5:8-9) The healing waters of Jesus changes one from the inside out. Jesus later saw the man in the temple of prayer and praise. Isn't that where all the recipients of God's grace should be? Jesus said to him, "See you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." (John 5:14) The grace of God motivates and enables us to take up our bed and walk in repentance and righteousness. JESUS DISTRIBUTES LIFE TO ALL WHO COME TO HIM! Jesus was criticized for healing on the Sabbath. Jesus said his Father was working and so was he; distributing everlasting life to all who would come to him. (John 5:1623) Jesus is still working. Believe and receive His healing power for spirit, soul, and body. Jesus is the Living Water that gives healing and everlasting life. You'll find him at Bethesda, the pool of mercy by the sheep's gate of his saving grace. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

Cooking With Lizzie
Derby Day Brunch (Part 1) The horses have run for the roses since 1875. The derby is still off and running the first Saturday of May. This year May 6 is the big event. Across the south there are celebrations galore, with big floppy hats in derby style, and mint julep is the drink of choice. Gatherings are centered around lunch, dinner and brunches in honor of the occasion. Party conversations focus intensely on the race unless guests are distracted by country ham, fresh strawberries and mint juleps. My menu for Derby Day Brunch is: Citrus Burst Fruit Dip, Spring Spinach Salad, Brunch Eggs, Country Ham, Modern Beaten Biscuits, Marinated Asparagus Spears, Derby Pecan Tarts and Mint Juleps. I will share three of the recipes with you this week and the rest of the recipes will follow next week.
Brunch Eggs 2 T. unsalted butter or margarine 2½ T. all-purpose flour 2 cups milk 1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese 1/8 tsp. hot sauce 5 slices bacon
1/2 cup diced ham 1/4 cup chopped green onions 12 eggs, beaten 1 (4-oz.) can sliced mushrooms, drained 1/3 cup soft fresh bread crumbs 1/4 tsp. paprika
Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Add cheese and hot sauce; stir until cheese melts and mixture is smooth. Set cheese sauce mixture aside. Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserving 3 T. drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon and set aside. Saute ham and green onions in drippings until tender; add eggs and crumbled bacon. Cook without stirring until mixture begins to set on bottom, then stir gently to form large, soft curds. When eggs are set, stir in mushrooms and cheese sauce. Spoon egg mixture into lightly greased 12x8x2" baking dish. Combine bread crumbs and paprika, stirring well. Sprinkle over egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours. Preheat oven to 350° F. Remove casserole from refrigerator; bake, uncovered, 30 minutes, or until heated through. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
Country Ham 1 (12- to 14-lb.) uncooked country ham 1 quart apple cider 2 cups apple juice 2 cups orange juice
Whole cloves 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 2 T. water
Place ham in very large container; cover with water and soak 24 hours to remove excess salt. Pour off water. Scrub ham in warm water with stiff brush and rinse well. Preheat oven to 325°F. Drain ham; place in large roasting pan and cover with apple cider, apple juice and orange juice. Insert meat thermometer into ham, making sure it does not touch fat or bone. Cover and bake, basting with pan juices, for 2½ to 3 hours, or until meat thermometer registers 142°F. (about 15 minutes per pound). Drain ham and let cool. Discard pan juices. Place ham fat side up on cutting board; remove skin from ham and score fat in diamond design. Stud with cloves. Return ham to roaster, fat side up. Pat 1½ cups of the brown sugar over ham. Combine remaining brown sugar and 2 T. water in small saucepan; place over low heat, stirring until sugar is melted. Brush ham with sugar glaze. Place ham on lowest rack in oven and roast 5 minutes, basting with sugar glaze. Remove ham from roaster and carve into thin slices. Yield: 25 to 35 servings.
Derby Pecan Tarts Tart Pastry Shells: 1 (3 oz.) package cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
Centralia, Illinois For information: 618-533-7623 facebook.com/LocustStreetHistoricalFair

Yield: 2 dozen tarts. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

By Larry Cox Lionel Train Sets Q: I have two train sets in their original boxes from the 1950s. One is a Lionel Berkshire 2-8-4 die-cast steam locomotive and diecast tender, number 8-8215; the other is a Lionel train nickel-plated extended caboose, number 6-6905. Can you recommend a good reference book for these items? — Victoria, Rio Rancho, New Mexico A: There are several excellent references, but my personal favorite is "The Standard Catalogue of Lionel Trains 1945-1969," by David Doyle and published by Krause Books. This excellent guide is the
most complete book of its kind and features more than 1,100 photos, detailed descriptions and accurate current-market values. This helpful reference should keep you on track. *** Q : I foun d a St . Christopher medal in a Goodwill store that is unusual in that it has an image of Mary embossed on its back. It is made from a gray metal, perhaps pewter. Does this feature make this medal unique? — Cheryll, Saratoga, Fla. A: St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers. Millions of his medals have been distributed throughout the years. Although
your medal has a less common design, it still has very little value to collectors unless it is made of silver, gold or a precious metal. I suspect your medal is, indeed, made of pewter. *** Q: When I was in London during the 1960s, I purchased a biography of Beardsley, the illustrator, by Stanley Weintraub. It is a first edition in near mint condition. I can't remember how much I paid for it, but am curious to know if it has increased much in value. — Bill, San Angelo, Texas A: Your biography was published by W.H. Allen in 1967. I contacted several rare-book dealers, and they

I have seen them sell at shows for a couple of dollars per sheet. *** Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803, or send e-mail to questionsforcox@aol.com.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I recently saw a news story about a woman with a service dog who was kicked off of an airline flight. And my state is trying to "toughen up" laws about service dogs. I'm confused. Why aren't service animals getting their due? — Dane in Spring field, Massachusetts DEAR DANE: Despite a lot of publicity about service animals and other typ es of companion animals, there is still confusion in the general public and among businesses about these helpers, the roles they play, and whether they're allowed into stores, restaurants or even airline

Service Dogs Still Face Awareness Gap
flights. The recent airline incident demonstrates that there's still a lack of knowledge about how service dogs and their owners should be accommodated. (The airline ultimately apologized to the passenger.) Part of the problem is not knowing or understanding how service or companion animals, such as therapy dogs, should be accommodated. Another part of the problem is that the regulation about service d o g s i n t h e A DA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is somewhat vague and doesn't address other animals or specific types of services. Therapy and other types of companion pets are not mentioned in the ADA regulation. The bill being debated in Massachusetts takes aim at a third problem that has arisen: businesses that take advantage of the ADA's vague wording to sell inadequately trained animals to people in need of service dogs or companion pets.

Supporters of the bill say that poorly trained animals can undo years of work raising awareness of the need to allow service dogs and therapy pets to come into businesses with their owners.
In short, there's a need for clearer legislation and continued awarenessbuilding about service, therapy and companion animals and the roles they play.

by Samantha Weaver • It was Founding Father and renowned polymath B enjamin Franklin who made the following sage observation: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." • Those looking for a new, somewhat more relaxing line of work might want to consider becom-

Since 2015, the British company Aethaer has employed air farmers to "harvest" air in jars at locations all over the British Isles — largely in rural areas, away from roads and their attendant pollution.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb loves to be surrounded by flocks of admirers. But be careful that someone doesn’t take his or her admiration too far. Use your persuasive skills to let him or her down easily. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to begin setting farreaching goals and connecting with new contacts. Aspects also favor strengthening old relationships -personal and/or professional. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A personal disappointment should be viewed as a valuable learning experience. Go over what went wrong and see where a change in tactics might have led to a more positive outcome. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t leave projects unfinished or personal obligations unresolved, or you might find yourself tripping over all those loose ends later on. A relative has important news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect a challenge to the usual way you do things. Although you might prefer the tried-and-true, once you take a good look at this new idea, you might feel more receptive to it. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Much work has yet to be done to polish a still-rough idea into something with significant potential.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new relationship appears to need more from you than you might be willing to give right now. Best advice: Resist making promises you might not be able to keep. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That restless feeling encourages you to gallop off into a new venture. But remember to keep hold of the reins so you can switch paths when necessary. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A demanding work schedule keeps the high-spirited Goat from kicking up his or her heels. But playtime beckons by the week’s end. Have fun. You earned it. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re beginning to come out from under those heavy responsibilities you took on. Use this freed-up time to enjoy some much-deserved fun with people close to you. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before you get swept away by a tidal wave of conflicting priorities, take time to come up for air, and reassess the situation. You might be surprised by what you’ll find.
