Summer's Bounty: Yellow Squash And Tomatoes Summer is just around the corner and with it comes a bounty of fresh veggies. I've never grown yellow crookneck summer squash. This year I'm trying it, along with spaghetti squash, okra, tomatoes, pepper, green beans, and of course, my herb garden. So I've already started gathering all kinds of yellow crookneck squash recipes that I'm anxious to try. See the squash recipe below, along with some of my favorite tomato recipes.

Simple Stuffed Squash 6 medium-size yellow squash 6 slices bacon 1 medium onion, chopped 1 T. minced green bell pepper 1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. black pepper 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine, melted Parmesan cheese

Wash squash thoroughly. Place squash in boiling water to cover; simmer 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and cool slightly. Trim off stems. Cut squash in half lengthwise; remove and reserve pulp, leaving a firm shell. Set aside. Fry bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving 2 T. drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon and set aside. Saute onion and green pepper in drippings until tender. Combine onion and green pepper with broth, bacon, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and squash pulp; mix well. Place squash shells in lightly greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Spoon pulp mixture into shells; drizzle with butter and sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Yield: 6 servings.

Fried Green Tomatoes 1 cup cornmeal 2 tsp. brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. black pepper

3 large green tomatoes, sliced 1 egg, beaten Vegetable oil for frying

Combine cornmeal, sugar, salt and pepper in small bowl; stir well. Dip tomato slices in beaten egg; dredge in cornmeal mixture, coating well on both sides. Heat 2 to 3 T. oil in large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add layer of tomatoes; fry 3 to 5 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove slices and drain. Repeat procedure, adding more oil to pan as needed, until all slices have been fried. Serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.

Tomato Aspic 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 2¼ cups tomato juice 2 T. white vinegar 2 T. lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground allspice 1/8 tsp. black pepper 2 dashes hot sauce 1/3 cup diced green pepper 1/3 cup finely chopped celery 2 T. minced onion Lettuce leaves (optional)

Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water; let stand 1 minute. Combine tomato juice, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, cloves, allspice, pepper and hot sauce in medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Add gelatin to hot tomato juice mixture; stir until gelatin dissolves. Chill until mixture is consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Fold in green pepper, celery and onion. Pour mixture into lightly oiled 4-cup mold; cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm. Unmold onto lettuce leaves, if desired. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Fried Okra 1½ pounds fresh okra 2 eggs, beaten 1/3 cup buttermilk Vegetable oil for frying

1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup cornmeal 1/2 tsp. salt

Wash okra and cut into 3/4-inch slices; pat dry with paper towels. Combine eggs and buttermilk in large bowl; stir well. Add okra and let soak 10 minutes. Drain. Start heating vegetable oil for frying (375° F.). Combine flour, cornmeal and salt in medium bowl. Dredge okra, a few pieces at a time, in flour mixture, coating well. Fry okra in hot oil until golden. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 6 to 8 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. Box 1223, Centralia, IL 62801 or email to: info@theshoppersweekly.com, (Subject - ATTN: Lizzie) Also, if you have a household problem, like a stubborn stain or a kitchen conundrum, drop us a line, our readers just might have your solution! I'm also interested in your general decorating or household tips. Send your message in a bottle and we might just publish it and enlighten our readers! Until next week, Au Revoir! —Elizabeth Fenton

EMMA AND NOAH REMAIN SOCIAL SECURITY’S MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES FOR 2016 Emma and Noah are again America’s most popular baby names, for the third year in a row. This marks the fourth year at number one for Noah and the third for Emma. There is only one new name in the top 10 this year—Elijah, the first time he has ever reached the list of 10. Like a name, Social Security is with you through life’s journey, starting at birth when newborns receive their S ocial S ecurity number. Here are the top 10 boys and girls names for 2016: Boys: 1. Noah; 2. Liam; 3. William; 4. Mason; 5. James; 6. Benjamin; 7. Jacob; 8. Michael; 9. Elijah; 10. Ethan. Girls: 1. Emma; 2. Olivia; 3. Ava; 4. Sophia; 5. Isabella; 6. Mia; 7. Charlotte; 8. Abigail; 9. Emily; 10. Harper. For all the top baby names of 2016, and to find where your own name

ranks, go to Social Security’s website, www.socialsecurity. gov. As is tradition on Baby Na m e s D a y, Ac t i n g Commissioner Nancy A. Berryhill encourages everyone to visit the agency’s website, enjoy the baby names list, and create a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/ myaccount. my Social Security is a personalized online account that people can use beginning in their working years and continuing through to the time they receive Social Security benefits. Social Security beneficiaries can have instant access to their benefit verification letter, payment history, and complete earnings record by establishing a my Social Security account. Beneficiaries also can change their address, start or change direct deposit information, and print a

replacement SSA-1099 online. People receiving Social Security can request a replacement Medicare card online. Individuals age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can also sign up for a my Social Security account to get their personalized online Social Security Statement. The online Statement provides workers with secure and convenient access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information, and estimates of future benefits they can use to plan for their retirement. The agency began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names.

Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on naming trends. This year’s winners for biggest jump in popularity in the Top 1,000 are Kehlani and Kylo. Kehlani rose 2,487 spots on the girls’ side to number 872, from number 3,359 in 2015. Perhaps this can be attributed to Kehlani Parrish, a singer/songwriter who was nominated for a Grammy in 2016. She was named an artist to watch and clearly new parents agree her star is rising. Kehlani collaborated with Zayn Malik, the former One Direction star and current solo artist, on a song in 2016. The name Zayn also made the boys fastest riser list. The force was strong for Kylo in 2016 as he soared 2,368 spots for the boys, from number 3,269 in 2015 to number 901. Kylo Ren, the son of Han Solo and Princess Leia and the grand-

son of Darth Vader, was a character in the 2015 film Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Perhaps Kylo can continue to harness the

force and climb even higher in the coming years. Please visit www.social security.gov to view the entire list.

$36,500 AVAILABLE TO ILLINOIS TEACHERS The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation (IRTAF) is making $36,500 in grant money available statewide to individual public school class ro om te achers (PK-12) for the 2017-18 school year. These grants are designed for special projects the teachers might not be able to have funded through the normal budgetary process. In this time of short budgets, state shortfalls and economic and budgetary insecurity for public schools, these grants can be very helpful. “These grants won’t only assist teachers doing their work, but ultimately students will benefit as well,” Dave Davison, president of the Illinois Retired Teachers Association said. “Our goal and hope is that our state’s

teachers have the tools and resources available to inspire and empower students. With these grants, we believe better instruction will be delivered and more students will be engaged as learners.” “It’s great to know that an organization like the IRTAF supports teachers when dollars for education are so tight,” Portia Stueve, an IRTA member from Waterloo, Illinois said. “Grants like these have a ripple effect, from the teacher to the student, t hroug h t he s cho ol, through the community and t hen u lt imately through the state.” To apply, download, complete, and submit the application online by visiting www.irtaonline.org. The application can be

fou n d i n t h e I RTA Foundation section. All applications must be submitted by June 1, 2017. A special committee will select the recipients of the grants. Grant awards will be presented in the fall. “Far too often teachers spend money out of their own pocket to supplement classroom and learning experiences,” Davison concluded. “Founded by teachers, the IRTAF prides itself not only by assisting retired teachers now living in poverty but the great ideas and visions teachers have for their students but are limited by lack of funds.” See more at: http://prmediarelease.com/moneyavailable-to-illinois-publicschool-teachers/#sthash. k75sa0Sp.dpuf

Current Illinois State Senator and International Director of Each One Feed One, Kyle McCarter has been recommended for app o i n t m e n t a s U. S . Ambassador to Kenya. Republican members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation delivered a letter to President Donald Trump May 11 recommending Sen. McCarter. “This is a great honor and humbling experience to be recommended to continue representing the United States of America in this new role,” McCarter said. “Our country has a long friendship with Kenya that began soon after Kenya won its independence in late 1963. My family’s friendship goes back over 30 years. If President Trump selects me for this role, I would be honored to serve,” McCarter said. The letter from the Republican Members of Congress from Illinois notes Senator McCarter’s long history of working in Kenya, including founding the Each One Feed One International charity in Tharaka, Kenya. “Through his work in Kenya, he has experience negotiating with tribal chiefs and other dignitaries, along with logistical and other administrative experience working with the Kenyan government. Additionally, he has experi-

ence working with USAID and other organizations, including Compassion International within Kenya to provide health care for over 3,000 Kenyan children.” Senator McCarter and his wife, Victoria have worked in Kenya for over 30 years. Each One Feed One International’s efforts in Kenya include an elementary school for children K-8 and assistance for hundreds of abandoned, abused and orphaned children. The charity also provides a medical clinic with comprehensive health care and support to those suffering from HIV and malaria. Additionally, the clinic provides baby immunizations and well-baby education, treating as many as 18,000 patients a year. The Illinois Congressmen wrote that

McCarter would ensure U.S. taxpayer dollars are well-spent in the country, and he will bring accountability to the aid program benefiting Kenyans. “…his experience on the ground in Kenya has provided him heightened insight into the governmental operations and other political, economic, and social realities of both Kenya and the larger region of East Africa. He has outlined specific ideas for reforms of USAID spending, including curtailing waste, fraud, and abuse within the program,” the letter stated. The letter from the Illinois Republican Congressional Delegation was presented to the White House May 10. The Ambassador post requires U.S. Senate confirmation.

IDNR: REINTRODUCTION OF ALLIGATOR GAR IN ILLINOIS WATERS The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Div ision of Fisheries has published its Fish Species Management Plan for Alligator Gar in Illinois, which details IDNR’s effort to reintroduce alligator gar to Illinois waters. A fish native to Illinois, the alligator gar was determined to be extirpated, or extinct from Illinois waters. The last known catch of the fish, prior to the start of the reintroduction effort, was in the Cache River basin in southern Illinois in 1966. “The plan details our efforts and activities as we attempt to reestablish and manage alligator gar populations in Illinois,” said IDNR Fisheries Chief Dan Stephenson. “They are a large, unique species that we would like to see thriv-

ing in Illinois waters again. There has been a lot of interest in our reintroduction efforts already, and we encourage anyone interested in sport fishing and this project to look at the plan.” The alligator gar is the largest of the gar species and second largest freshwater fish in North America, next to the white sturgeon. The current all-tackle record alligator gar, caught in 1953 in Texas, weighed 302 pounds and measured 7-ft., 6-in. in length. Researchers determined that prior to extirpation, Illinois produced some individual gar measured at more than eight feet in length, with the heaviest weighing 176 pounds. IDNR Fisheries personnel last fall stocked approximately 1,600 alligator gar as part of the reintro-

du c t i on pro g r am at Powerton Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area (Tazewell Co.), Sanganois State Fish and Wildlife Area (Cass Co.), Horseshoe Lake State Park (Madison Co.), and Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Area (St. Clair Co.). Tiny electronic tracking tags were attached to those fish for biologists to monitor their progress. The success of the plan will b e do c umented through annual progress and achievement reports for each management objective, and the plan will be updated as needed. The Fish Species Management Plan for Alligator Gar in Illinois is posted online at: https:// www.dnr.illinois.gov/news/ Documents/ALGPlan.pdf

In the news last week... Comey. That's it! Comey, Comey, Comey after President Trump fired the FBI Director last Tuesday. In follow up interviews, the President said there were a number of reasons for the firing, one being he was always "showboating." Not the answer you would expect from probably one of the world's best showboats. I think continued frustration probably summed up the President's action. Comey, a lifelong attorney and former deputy attorney general, always seemed to be in the middle of controversy and one was never quite sure where he stood. Days after any interview, he would always come back with what he called a "clarification" as he did just before the firing. His clarification usually appeased the side of the aisle he had earlier criticized, always playing the "Washing-

If you've only followed coverage of the Republican health care bill loosely in the media, you might believe that House Republicans, after much effort, passed legislation to deny people with preexisting conditions health insurance. The issue of pre-existing conditions has dominated the debate over the GOP health care bill out of all proportion to the relatively modest provision in the legislation, which is being distorted — often willfully, sometimes ignorantly — into a threat to all that is good and true in America. The perversity of it all is that the legislation is properly understood as doing more to preser ve the Obamacare regulation on pre-existing conditions than to undermine it. The legislation maintains a federal baseline of protection in such cases, and says only that states can apply for a waiver from it, provided that they abide by certain conditions

ton Game." And what does the lame stream media focus on the whole week, but the first part of Trump's sentence about "tapes" and not the last. James Comey better hope there are no "tapes" of our conversation before he starts leaking to the press. Obviously, Trump has been livid about leaks coming out of different departments.

But during the whole week of Comey no one talked about the President's expectations that Comey would leak. Could this have been one more reason for the firing?

meant to ensure that no one is left out in the cold. Since these provisions only involve the individual insurance market, a small slice of the overall insurance picture (about 18 million are on the individual market), and merely make possible state waivers, they are inherently limited. You're not affected if you get insurance through your employer (155 million people), or through Medicaid or Medicare. You're not affected if you live in a state that doesn't request the waiver (many won't). Even if you buy insurance on the individual market and live in a state that gets a waiver, you're not affected if you've maintained insurance coverage continuously and not had a gap in coverage longer than 63 days. By this point, we're talking about a tiny fraction of the population. If you do have a pre-existing condition in a waiver state and haven't had continuous coverage, you can be charged more by your insurer only the first year. The state will have access to $8 billion in federal funds explicitly to ease the cost of your insurance, and must further have a high-risk pool or similar program to mitigate insurance costs for the sick.

Clearly, if Republicans set out to recklessly endanger the well-being of people with pre-existing conditions, they didn't do a very good job of it. The purpose of these provisions isn't to punish the sick, but to create an incentive for people to buy insurance while they are healthy. (The Obamacare exchanges are failing because the tangle of regulations drove up costs and made insurance economically unappealing to the young and healthy.) It takes all of five minutes to understand the basics of the House bill on pre-existing conditions, yet it has been subject to wildly ill-informed and deceptive attacks. Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jersey said the bill would hurt 129 million people with pre-existing conditions, an exaggerated figure that assumes every single one of them would be harmed by the House bill. There are certainly legitimate criticisms to be made of the House bill, and ample room for the Senate to improve it, especially by boosting its coverage numbers. But it is not an act of heedless cruelty against the sick. As for its critics, their reflex to demagogic dishonesty isn't a pre-existing condition, just an ingrained habit.

Lesson from Jonah Near Bevier, MO is a whimsical sign. Suspended from a giant replica of a rod and reel is a life-like cutout of a large fish with the inscription – “Tall Tales Bait Shop”. Many fishermen have tall tales of the big fish they have caught. But the amazing story of Jonah being swallowed by a great fish is no tall tale. It is the gospel truth. The greatest authority of all, Jesus Christ himself referred to Jonah and the great fish, and said that it was also a sign of Jesus, the Messiah. Consider some of the lessons we can learn from Jonah. IT DOESN’T PAY TO RUN FROM GOD. God called the prophet Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh and cry against it for its wickedness. Jonah didn’t want to go because he knew that God is merciful and, if the people repented, God would spare the city from destruction. Jonah despised the wicked antagonists of the Jews. So, he booked passage on a ship going to Tarshish, the opposite direction. “But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish

from the presence of the Lord.” (Jonah 1:1-3) Jonah was running from God and His will. There is an awful price to pay. Twice in this passage we are told he was separated from the presence of the Lord. As Jonah sailed away from God’s presence, there was a great storm at sea. When the sailors realized that Jonah was the reason their ship was in peril, they prayed to God and threw Jonah overboard. But God had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. (Jonah 1:4-17) R E P E N TA N C E FROM SIN WILL TURN THE TIDE. Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and nights. With weeds wrapped around his head and in the dark belly of the great fish, Jonah prayed, “And he said, ‘I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction and He answered me . . . yet you

have brought up my life from the pit, O Lord, my God . . . Salvation is of the Lord.” (Jonah 2:1-9) When Jonah repented, the tide was turned. “So, the Lord spoke to the fish and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.” (Jonah 2:10) Jonah went throughout Nineveh. “Then he cried out, ‘Yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be over thrown.’” (Jonah 3) The people and even the king repented of their wickedness and God spared His judgement of the great city. Are you running from God? Repent. God is merciful. (Acts 2:1-9; Romans 2:4) GOD’S COMPASSION AND MERCY KNOWS NO BOUNDS. When God spared Nineveh, Jonah became angry. He waited to see if God would destroy the inhabitants. As Jonah sat beneath the blazing sun, God began to teach Jonah a lesson. (Jonah 4) God caused a plant to grow up to shade Jonah. But the next day God sent a worm to destroy the plant. Jonah was angry. God rebuked Jonah because he had more compassion for a plant than he had for the in-

nocent children and livestock that could have been destroyed under the judgement of God. Here we have a revelation of the compassionate nature of God. (Isaiah 66:12-13; Lamentations 3:22; Matthew 23:27) JONAH WAS A SIGN THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. When the Jews asked Jesus to do a miracle to prove he was the Messiah, he replied, “No sign shall be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and nights is the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” (Matthew 12:38-41. As Jonah came out of the belly of the fish, on the third day, Jesus arose victorious over death, hell, and the grave. Jonah and the great fish is no tall tale and neither is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What a revelation of the power of repentance and the love of God.

by Samantha Weaver • It was French novelist — and, more significantly, journalist — Emile Zola who made the following sage observation: "One forges one's style on the terrible anvil of daily deadlines." • You might be surprised to learn that, among readers from families with incomes of at le ast $100,000, The Reader's Digest reaches more people than The Wall Street

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You Ewes and Rams will find your ideas cheered by a mostly receptive flock. Those few dissenters could well be turned around by your charm and powers of persuasion. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s time for the bold and beautiful Bovine to shake off the dust of the past and shape up with new ideas for the future. This could surprise some folks, but they’ll soon adjust. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those nagging new doubts about an upcoming decision should alert you to step back (at least temporarily) so you can reassess its potential impact from a new perspective. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That unpleasant situation you hoped would go away by itself needs immediate attention before it affects an upcoming decision. Expect your supporters to rally around your cause. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re moving up and away from that recent setback. But remain cautious about finances. An exercise in thrift today helps cushion a possible end-of-themonth money squeeze. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You’re still dealing with overtones of pessimism that cause you to doubt your ability to make some needed changes. But the negative pressures will ease up by week’s end. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) There could be some fallout from the way you handled a recent family

problem. But those who know that you were in the right won’t hesitate to step in on your behalf. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Financial strains ease by week’s end. Meanwhile, focus on cultivating that new relationship if you hope to have it blossom into something more meaningful. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Health matters once again dominate the week. Be careful not to ignore recurrences of an old problem. An almost-forgotten commitment resurfaces. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The emergence of an unusual selfish streak could dismay those close to you. Defy it -- don’t justify it -- so you can become your gracious self again. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Reassess your decision to stay with the status quo. It might seem like the sensible thing to do right now, but changes around you could make that choice a risky one. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Move decisively but cautiously when dealing with a delicate personal matter. The fewer mistakes you make now, the less likely it is that the problem will recur later on. BORN THIS WEEK: You can find beauty where many cannot. And you enjoy sharing your discovery with others. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Journal, Fortune, Inc. and Business Week combined. • Have you ever heard of the Clarke-Asimov Treaty of Park Avenue? Unless you're a fan of science fiction, you probably haven't. Legend has it that two of science fiction's Big Three, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke (poor Robert A. Heinlein missed out, it seems), were sharing a cab in New York City when they reached an

Wednesday, May 17, 2017 agreement: Each author would publicly refer to the other as the world's greatest in his specialty. This meant that Asimov touted Clarke as the world's best sciencefiction writer -- reserving second place for himself — while Clarke acknowledged Asimov as the world's best science writer — also putting himself in second place. Evidence of the agreement is found Clarke's 1972 novel "Report on Planet Three"; the dedication reads, "In accordance with the terms of the Clarke-Asimov treaty, the second-best science writer dedicates this book to the second-best science-fiction writer." • Those who study such things say that cannabis has

been used to ease childbirth pains in a variety of cultures, ranging from the Middle East to Northern Africa to East Asia -- and the evidence dates as far back as 2000 B.C. • It was the seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, who first allowed the public to enter the White House. He also made sure the presidential abode was well-provided with spittoons — at least a dozen of them.

It was Ted Turner who said (and I'm paraphrasing) that if you ever have a chance to own a baseball team, you should go ahead and do it because it's a lot of fun. It's hard to argue with Ted when he's making sense. This from a guy who owns an estate larger than the state of Connecticut, who brought buffalo back to the dinner table and who once eloquently brushed aside criticism of his wife by declaring he had not, in fact, married "Hanoi Jane," he was simply making out with Barbarella on a nightly basis. To be sure, owning a baseball team puts you in an elite club. There are only

When one comes up for sale, if you've got the money and you still have a little bit of the boy (or girl) who collected baseball cards in a shoebox left in you, you make the deal. A quick look at the backgrounds of the current crop of MLB franchise owners shows them to be captains (or sons of captains) of industry, legal whizzes or savvy investors. But as they often do, things got weird in Miami. The owner of the Miami Marlins, Jeffrey Loria, is considered by most observers of the game to be the worst owner in baseball. Remember the Billy Joel song, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"? It's a

Wednesday, May 17, 2017 song that details the life of Brenda and Eddie. At one point, they manage to decorate their first home with a couple of paintings from Sears. Billy didn't know it at the time, but he was singing about Loria ... he was the guy in charge of buying the paintings for Sears. From there, he bought the Montreal Expos, killed them, bought the Marlins and despite winning a championship in 2003, has done nothing but insult the intelligence of Miami fans ever since. After NFL owner Dan Snyder, there is no more reviled owner in American sports. Not too many players own franchises — Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky being the exceptions. Two years after his last hit, Derek Jeter collars Jeb Bush and ponies up $1.3 billion in investment capital and suddenly the weed-cracked, empty parking lots in Miami are about to teem with new life. The fans get a team that will try to win, baseball gets their most bankable superstar back and the Bush family gets to

make a few more headlines. How quickly can a Jeter/ Bush-owned Marlins team turn it around? Let's put it this way — the quickest way Jeb will ever see the inside of the White House will more than likely come via the hands and baseball mind of Jeter, and not any political action committee or otherwise wealthy donor. One can imagine that Jeb would not relish visiting the White House, current occupant considered, but you'd also have to think he'd have to feel a bit proud of the fact that he succeeded where both his older brother — a terrible owner of the Texas Rangers — and Donald Trump (who single-handedly killed the USFL) failed miserably. None of that matters in Miami. To the fan, they just got handed a real franchise with a real owner for the first time in a long time. As Ted would acknowledge ... that's a much better way of looking at things. Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.
