Mother's Day Breakfast
Beaten Biscuits 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable shortening or lard 1/4 cup ice water 1/4 cup milk
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a food processor, with the chopping blade, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the shortening and process just until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and milk, a little at a time, until the dough balls up. Continue to process the dough until it is smooth, elastic, and slightly blistered. On a floured surface, with a floured rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. With a floured 2-inch cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place the biscuits, 1 inch apart, on the greased baking sheet. Pat the dough scraps together, reroll, and cut out more biscuits. With a fork, pierce each biscuit twice in a parallel row. Bake the biscuits 30 to 35 minutes, or until they start to brown on top and are golden brown on the bottom. Makes about 1½ dozen biscuits.
Hash Brown Potatoes 4 to 5 T. vegetable oil 1/2 tsp. salt
4 cups coarsely shredded, peeled, boiled baking potatoes
In a 10-inch skillet or on a griddle, heat 2 T. oil over medium-high heat. Add two 1-cup mounds of potatoes and, with a large pancake turner, shape each into a rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Press the mounds to make the potatoes stick together; fry until the bottoms are crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes lightly with salt. Turn and brown the other side, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer the hash browns to serving plates and cook the remaining potatoes. Makes 4 servings. *** 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.

A person can receive dozens of these letters from numerous sources monthly. Incredibly, there are persons who believe these scams. If you respond to such, you will lose some money. A worst scenario is that if they gain access to your bank account they may be able to clean out your savings. (Where are enforceable laws to quickly catch and prosecute these perpetrators of thievery?) Beware, also, of astrologers, psychics, religious or magic charm sellers who promise you riches and abundant living. Sadly, the USPS is probably safer than the world wide web of the internet. Musings: My first impression about locating a manufactured home park in Mt. Vernon near Lincoln Park was negative. It hasn't changed. It doesn't seem right — reminiscent of mixing oil and water. Within the city of Mt. Vernon west of 17th Street on Veterans Memorial Drive there is open farmland, a misused trailer park, and other undeveloped acreage that could accommodate new housing. Also, a functional trailer park is
primary schools that do not have a principal to oversee issues concerning parents, students and faculty? If principals are unnecessary, why have schools been paying their salaries all these years? Why has Rome Grade School been paying its current principal the past eight years if she is not needed? If principals are unneeded, why not eliminate all principal positions and let the superintendent be the mediator and problem-solver for all grade schools? Feel free to feed back.

Dear Editor, A week or so ago one of your contributors in Speak Out offered an article comparing Obama and Trump playing golf. It seems like he was comparing Obama playing in DC and Trump playing in Mar-aLago, Florida. This got me to thinking, so I googled for more about what he was offering. I found a very similar article posted by CNN (Clinton News Network). I got to wondering, since I’m not part of either President’s personal group. So I need to rely on several news sources and profess to be short of facts. I do not subscribe to CNN because I would like to hear the entire story. Here is partial information to the best of my ability. 1. The Christmas Vacation trip to “The Islands” is 4,838 miles and one December the Obamas took separate planes. Total mileage would be about 43,500 total miles. The trip to Florida is right at 1,000 miles so Trump will have to go 44 times as a vacation to equal Obama. This study doesn’t include trips to Martha’s Vineyard. 2. Obama played golf every day, on vacation, so that would be a minimum of at least 63 days. So far Trump has played golf one time that we know about. The Japanese leader requested the game and the Chinese Leader did not ask to play. P.S. Obama seemed to play about every day in DC. Trump seems to have worked every day and I’m not aware of even one outing. 3. When away from the White House, Trump stays in a place he owns. On the other hand, do the voters pay for the Obamas' lodging? Maybe Democrats owned these places. There are better ways to compare between Obama and Trump than the inferred cost of flying. Let us wait 4 or 8 years before we compare the impact on the United States of these two Presidents. We should give our current Pres-

located in the area so zoning should not be overly problematical. Veterans Drive is built — with lighting, utilities, drainage and other amenities — and should not cost the city a whole lot in improvements. If it is decided that a home park is to be built next to Lincoln Park, then the owner / developer should pay for any new roads, utilities and proper drainages in the area. It costs the city enough for maintenance alone. The city should not spend bundles and receive little or no return on its investments. As for charging outlying water districts: Being cynical, it looks as if the subsidiaries are to pay for the city of Mt. Vernon's own neglect and lack of maintenance of its own inner-system water system by charging high meter fees. Since the Mt. Vernon High School has greenlighted the spending to build the new greenhouse, let's not hear the school must lay off teachers, increase class sizes, is unable to buy books, supplies and other necessities for the students, or will have to increase costs to parents or taxpayers due to lack of funds. What is the percentage of

A signing ceremony for Trump's healthcare bill (American Health Care Act or AHCA) was held at the White House last Friday, but let's not get too excited for a number of reasons. One is the next step of getting through the Senate, which is iffy! The second reason is this is a healthcare bill that needs a lot of work. And no, I'm not saying keep Obamacare, which I'll say again is a total disaster, and it started that way. This year alone, in some states there will be a 50% increase in premiums. But on Trump's bill, frankly, I have more questions than answers, and I realize a lot of you have as many questions. I'm sure the final draft of this bill will look very different in the end than it does right now. A few points that Tom Price, Secretary of Health and Human Services, made are important. If you have Medicaid, VA insurance or Medicare, little will change. The very young will be less affected, and from the ages of 55 to 65 is questionable. From what I can see, this bill looks like it puts healthcare back in the hands of the doctors, patients and families instead of the federal government. I also realize and know personally through research that under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) known as Obamacare, many doctors and hospitals won't accept it. As per Medicaid, two out of three doctors hesitate to accept it at all, especially specialists. The goal is and should be to get people on private,
reasonable insurance. As per pre-existing conditions, although the liberal media is spinning their normal craziness, I see little change on this issue. But as I said in the beginning of this column, I have more questions than answers! What I believe to be important to point out today is the truth instead of spinning. Keep in mind what Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) said, "I'm going to read the house bill, find out what it costs, and when I find good ideas there, why we'll borrow them. But basically, we're writing our own bill." Which beats the hell out of then and now Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi referring to Obamacare when she said, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy." And speaking of unprofessionalism, going back to the new healthcare bill and childish behavior, nothing speaks more of fifth grade mentality than the behavior of the House Democrats when, after the bill passed, they took a standing position and started waving and singing bye-bye to House Republicans. And before this bill is revised in the Senate, there is already a heavy ad campaign planned to hit before any revision of the plan. The bottom line is Obamacare is collapsing, and that is a fact! Yet I'm the first one to say Trump's bill faces an uncertain future, and only time will tell. But only a fool doesn't realize something
has to be done, and you have to start somewhere. Moving on to France. Even though I'm pushing for Marine Le Pen, it's looking good for Emmanuel Macron, the far left candidate. However, I'm hoping the people of France wake up and realize what pro-immigration has done for them and all of Europe. One would think they would "get it" with all the terrorist attacks. Both candidates stopped campaigning at midnight Friday. Is either choice good? Le Pen is anti-immigration, anti-European Union platform. Macron is progressive and has a proEuropean Union stance. At press time it was reported Macron was elected the new President. Sorry to say, in my opinion, France will be sorry! And last but not least, on to late night show host Stephen Colbert. But in the same category are Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers. Everyone should be fed up with their "vile" and "hatefilled jokes" about President Donald Trump. But I don't think anyone can go any lower than Stephen Colbert and what he said last week. Unfortunately, they all live in what someone called a " C o a s t a l Bu b bl e . " How much lower can the extreme leftists go? Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

• On May 11, 1864, at the Battle of Yellow Tavern near Richmond, Virginia, a Union trooper fatally wounds Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart, who dies the next day. Stuart's leadership helped the Confederates maintain a superior cavalry force in Virginia for most of the war. • On May 14, 1913, in Sportsman Park, Illinois, Washington Senators pitcher Walter Johnson throws his 54th consecutive scoreless inning. Johnson's record stood for 55 years until Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitched 58 and 2/3 innings without allowing a run. • On May 12, 1932, more than two months after he was kidnapped, the body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh's baby is found less than a mile from his family's home in Hopewell, New Jersey. Although Lindbergh received two ransom notes, his son had been killed the night of the kidnapping. • On May 8, 1945, both Great Britain and the United States celebrate Victory in Europe Day. Both nations, as well as formerly occupied coun-
tries in Western Europe, rejoiced in the defeat of the Nazi war machine, when German troops throughout Europe laid down their arms. • On May 9, 1960, the Food and Drug Administration approves Enovid-10, the world's first commercially produced birth-control pill. Development of "the pill" was first commissioned by birth-control pioneer Margaret Sanger and funded by heiress Katherine McCormick. • On May 13, 1972, a fire at the Playtown Cabaret in Osaka, Japan, kills 118 people. An electrician three floors below in a department store inadvertently set off a fire that reached some oil-soaked rags in a nearby storage room and climbed the elevator shafts. • On May 10, 1980, the U.S. Treasury announces the approval of $1.5 billion in federal loan guarantees for the nearly bankrupt Chrysler Corporation. At the time, it was the largest rescue package ever granted by the U.S. government to an American corporation. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Larry Cox Fountain Pen --Q: My dad was a banker in Kansas, and I never saw him use a writing instrument that wasn't a fountain pen. I inherited one of his favorite ones, a Parker Duofold Senior. It is a beautiful pen, and I would like to know about when it was made. -- Stan, Overland
Park, Kansas A: Your pen was manufactured in 1958 and is quite collectible. I found it listed in "Collecting Pens," by Edward Kiersh and published by House of Collectibles. Kiersh values your pen at $175, but this may be a little low since fountain pens have become a hot collectible and values have
steadily risen. I occasionally write with a "Big Red" from the 1930s, and it is one of the pleasures of life to write a note or letter with a vintage pen. *** Q: My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Europe in about 1920. Among the heirlooms they managed to
bring with them is a set of sterling flatware in the Acanthus pattern by Georg Jensen. What can you tell me about it? -- Martha, Waco, Texas A: Georg Jensen opened his silver business in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1904, and his craftsmanship made him famous throughout Europe. His mark is distinctive: a wreath topped by a crown and the words "Georg Jensen, Inc." Georg Jensen Inc., USA, opened in New York in 1941, but closed within a decade. Your pattern was introduced in 1917. Typical pieces of this pattern are
Wednesday, May 10, 2017 three piece carving set, $800; dinner knife, $280; sugar tongs, $190; and salad fork, $120. *** Q: I purchased a Quezal vase at a yard sale for 25 cents. It looks like a Tiffany, and I have several friends who wish to buy it. -- Pat, Riverside, Rhode Island A: Quezal glass was made from 1901 until about 1924 in the Queens, N.Y., studio of Martin Bach Sr. Other companies made similar art glass, including Loetz, Steuben and Tiffany. Since Quezal vases generally sell for well above $1,000, my advice is to contact a reputable dealer

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Walking in the Favor of God Years ago, a comic strip featured Lil’ Abner, a hillbilly type character who had a dark cloud following him wherever he walked. Some people can identify with that. They view themselves as a victim or a born loser doomed to bad luck. But the good news is that Christ came to redeem us and bring us into God’s favor. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’ that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, . . .” (Galatians 3:14-15) This is the unmerited favor of God. When one receives Christ as their Savior and Lord, they are put in Christ and receive the blessing of Abraham and the indwelling of the Spirit. Now that’s favor. God promised to make his children the “head and

not the tail.” “The lord will make you the head not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.” (Deuteronomy 28:13) The apostle Peter tells us how to walk in the favor of God. (I Peter 5:5-11) Follow these scriptural steps. HONOR YOUR ELDERS. “In the same way . . . submit yourselves to your elders.” (I Peter 5:5) To walk in God’s favor one must honor those in authority over them and show respect. “God opposes the proud, but shows favor to the humble.” (I Peter 5:5) An attitude of honor brings the favor of God. H U M B L E YO U RSELVES. Peter spoke from experience, “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another because, God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” (I Peter 5:5-6)

A key factor to God’s favor then is to be humble. We have this assurance, “That he may lift you up in due time.” (I Peter 5:6) Joseph gained God’s favor even though he spent 13 years in prison. (Genesis 50:19-20) God has a ‘due’ time for you. HEAP YOUR CARES ON GOD. “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (I Peter 5:7) While in a restaurant recently, I observed a touching scene of a young mother comforting her distraught son. She held her toddler in her lap and hugged and kissed him until he quieted down. Abba, “daddy”, Father cares for you even more than that mother cared for her son. “Cast your cares on him” by faith and prayer. A few days ago, my truck was in the repair shop and it sounded like it could cost several hundred dollars to fix it. In prayer, I cast a heap of anxiety on God. I received a call from the mechanic and he told me that he had found the problem and fixed it for only $30. I call that the favor of God. HOLD UP THE DEVIL’S ADVANCE. Peter warns us, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (I Peter 5:8) Don’t allow the devil to beat up
on you or run over you roughshod. There is something you can do, “Resist him, standing firm in the faith.” (I Peter 5:8) James tells us, “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) You are highly favored of the Lord. In Jesus’ name, you have authority over the enemy. H O P E I N G O D’ S
GRACE. Peter assures us, “And the God of all grace, who called you . . . after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast.” (I Peter 5:10-11) Hope in God. Followers of Christ are not exempt from suffering. But God has a purpose in all of it. (Romans 8:28) God promises to
restore anything lost, to strengthen you and make you steadfast. (Philippians 4:13) By grace you walk in the favor of God. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

WHAT YOU CAN TEACH YOUR GRANDCHILD ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY BY MS. LOWDER, SOCIAL SECURITY DISTRICT MANAGER, MT. VERNON, IL One of the greatest gifts you can give a grandchild is the gift of financial literacy. Helping them save money early in life
and showing them how to make wise spending decisions goes a long way toward a bright financial future. As they get older,
they may want to save for special purchases or their college education. You can encourage them when they get their first job to
begin saving for the future, including their retirement. Planning for the Future with my Social Security When you celebrate their graduation from high school, you can also remind them to set up a my Social Security account.

Wednesday, May 10, 2017 They need to be age 18 or older, have a U. S. mailing address and a valid email address, and have a Social Security number. And while their retirement is many years away, you can explain the importance of reviewing their earnings record each year since Social Security uses the record of earnings to compute their future benefits. As they start their first major job and begin saving, they’ll be able to monitor the growth of the estimates of benefits available to them. You can access my Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.
cans are covered by Social Security. Social Security is financed through workers’ contributions , which are matched by their employers. We use the contributions to pay current benefits. Any unused money goes into a trust fund. Nearly all working people pay Social Security taxes and about 61 million people receive monthly Social Security benefits. About 42 million of those beneficiaries are retirees and their families. Encourage them to watch our Social Security 101 video at www.socialsecurity.gov/multimedia/webinars/social_security_101.html.
Saving For Retirement with myRA The U. S. Treasury recently introduced a retirement savings account for a simple, safe, and affordable way to save for retirement. It’s perfect for people whose employer doesn’t offer a savings plan. There are no costs or fees to open and maintain a myRA account. The account won’t lose money and is backed by the U. S. Treasury. The individual chooses the amount to save. The account is portable and moves with them from job to job. The account owner can withdraw the money they put in without tax or penalty. You can learn more about myRA at www. myra.gov.
Share Your Retirement Stories Social Security replaces about 40 percent of an average worker’s income, but financial planners suggest that most retirees need about 70 percent to live comfortably in retirement. Americans need more than Social Security to achieve that comfortable retirement. They need private pensions, savings, and investments. That means starting to save early and monitoring your Social Security record for accuracy. You can share lessons from your own life about saving and planning for retirement. Remember, the best place anyone of any age can visit for quick, easy information about Social Security is www.socialsecurity.gov. Your personal stories about how you prepared for retirement and what role Social Security plays can help them see what is needed for a secure financial future. Give them the gift of financial literacy today.
Share How Social Security Works You can share your knowledge about Social Security with your young savers by explaining how the program works and how it has worked for you. About 96 percent of all Ameri-

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
by Samantha Weaver • It was Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra — widely regarded as the best writer in the Spanish language and one of the best novelists in any language — who made the following sage observation: "No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly; and this self-deceit is yet stronger with respect to the offspring of the mind." • You might be sur-
prised to learn that Princess Di was also a tapdancer. • In the newly egalitarian society that emerged after the French Revolution in the 18th century, the color known as "royal blue" experienced a precipitous decline in popularity. Royalty may have been out of power, but practicality still ruled. For the most part, people didn't
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The often-skeptical Aries might find that an answer to a question is hard to believe. But check it out before you chuck it out. You might well be surprised at what you could learn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your resolute determination to stick by a position might make some people uncomfortable. But if you’re proved right (as I expect you to be), a lot of changes will tilt in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel conflicted between what you want to do and what you should do. Best advice: Honor your obligations first. Then go ahead and enjoy your well-earned rewards. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That financial matter still needs to be sorted out before you can consider any major monetary moves. Pressures ease midweek, with news about a potential career change. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace problem threatens to derail your well-planned project. But your quick mind should lead you to a solution and get you back on track without too much delay. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An opportunity opens up but could quickly close down if you allow pessimism to override enthusiasm. A trusted friend can offer the encouragement you need. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’ve come through a difficult pe-
throw out their old clothes, or even re-dye them; to get rid of any monarchist overtones, they simply started calling the color "national blue." • In New Zealand, speed bumps are commonly known as "judder bars." • The court system in the Central African Republic is having difficulty dealing with the caseloads. One of the primary problems is witchcraft. It seems that 40 percent of all prosecutions in the nation involve some form of witchcraft, including 5 percent of all juvenile cases. • Those who study such things say that the koala bear has two opposable
riod of helping others deal with their problems. Now you can concentrate on putting your energy to work on your own projects. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Forget about who’s to blame and, instead, make the first move toward patching up a misunderstanding before it creates a rift that you’ll never be able to cross. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good news for the travel-loving Sagittarian who enjoys galloping off to new places: That trip you put off will soon be back on your schedule. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A mood change could make the gregarious Goat seek the company of just a few friends. But you charge back into the crowd for weekend fun and games. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A decision you made in good faith could come under fire. Best advice: Open your mind to other possibilities by listening to your challenger’s point of view. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You can avoid being swamped by all those tasks dangling from your line this week by tackling them one by one, according to priority. The weekend brings good news. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a fine business sense and a love of the arts. You enjoy living life to its fullest. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
thumbs on each hand. • The jobs website Glassdoor has issued a report ranking the best jobs in America, with scoring determined by combining the number of job openings, salary and overall job satisfaction rating. Unsurprisingly, the list is top-heavy with engineers and analysts.
