They've played the game 88 times, and each league, the American and the National, has won 43 times and split two ties. The All-Star Game used to carry considerable weight back in the days before interleague play, which began in 1997. Up until then, you never got to see your favorite players square off, save for spring training or the World Series. While interleague

This time it didn't matter — and nobody cared. The Major League Baseball All-Star Game has long been considered the best all-star game of all professional sports in America.

play became a necessity out of common sense — the fans in St. Louis wanted to see the Yankees play at Busch Stadium more than once a generation — people were sure the All-Star Game would lose its luster. Perhaps it was that fear that led to making the game "count" after the disastrous 2002 game, which was called a tie after 11 innings due to lack of pitchers. The powers that be championed a decision that had the winning league get home-field advantage in the World Series. It was a decision that was almost universally panned. For one thing, managers didn't necessarily play to win the game anymore. They were more interested in getting the most participation from their bench. So baseball, nimble as ever, decided to revert back to making the game a simple exhibition again (after 13 years). And what did this year's classic teach us? That baseball is almost impossible to not play seriously. Every player seemed to be giving his all ... the pitchers were bringing the heat (the average speed of a

fastball in the game was 97 mph), fielders were diving after balls in the outfield and batters were hacking away at first pitches. In classic fashion, the game was won in extra innings when Robinson Cano hit a laser into the bullpen leading off the 10th. The night previous, Aaron Judge, the guy that everyone is pinning their hopes on being the next great player, hit 47 home runs in the derby ... in the game, he went 0-3, striking out once, just like 23 others did that night. Sports Illustrated did the math. In the AL's 2-1 win, 79 players came to bat and 31 of them either struck out, walked or hit a home run, meaning 39 percent of the time, the ball wasn't even put in play. That's the way today's game is played ... every pitcher seems to throw 100 mph, every home run is of Ruthian proportions.

IDNR SEEKING NEW OPERATOR AT OLSON BEACH AT ROCK CUT STATE PARK The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) announced today that they are seeking a new concessionaire for Olson Beach at Rock Cut State Park. The department is hopeful to have an operator in place to open Olson Beach for the 2018 season. Normal season dates are f rom Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

“Getting this beach back open is a priority for our agency, and we look forward to finding a new operator as quickly as poss i b l e ,” s a i d Wa y n e Rosenthal, IDNR director. The operator will be responsible for a wide range of items including informing the visitors of the beach rules and properly operating and maintaining of the concessions property. Recent water samples

have shown that levels are safe for swimming and other recreational activities. While the search continues, we encourage visitors to check out many other great activities available at Rock Cut State Park. For more information on becoming a concessionaire at Olson Beach contact Bill Taft at 217-782-9633 or by email at bill.taft@illinois. gov.

Thousands of people have responded to the emergency call for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross in early July, but there continues to be a critical summer blood shortage. Eligible donors of all types are urgently needed. After issuing the emergency call, the Red Cross has experienced a 30 percent increase in blood donation appointments through mid-July. About half of the appointments were scheduled by donors using the free Blood Donor App or at redcrossblood.org. Despite this improvement, blood products are still being distributed to hospitals as fast as donations are coming in, so more donations are needed to meet patient needs and replenish the blood supply. “The blood supply is like a cell phone battery, it constantly needs recharging,” said Joe Zydlo, external communications manager of the MissouriIllinois Blood Services Region. “We sincerely appreciate those who have responded to the call to help save lives and encourage those who haven’t to consider rolling up a sleeve and give the gift of life. It only takes about an hour but can mean a lifetime for patients.” Nearly 61,000 fewer blood donations than ne e d e d we re g ive n through the Red Cross in May and June, prompting the emergency call for donations in early July. The shortfall was the equivalent of the Red Cross not receiving any blood donations for more than four days. To schedule an appointment to donate, use the Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history

questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate. Blood recipient and cancer survivor Jenny Stock is someone who knows firsthand the benefit of blood donations. As a child, Jenny received blood transfusions from the American Red Cross while battling leukemia. Now, a recent college graduate, Jenny continues to give back to the Red Cross in the metro St. Louis area by holding blood drives and raising awareness for the cause. “I would not be here today if it wasn’t for the generosity of donors,” she said. “I am doing everything I can to help promote awareness and the importance of blood donations. They truly save lives and I am proof of it.” Upcoming blood donation opportunities through Aug. 15 are listed below. Franklin County: Aug. 9, 12:30 p.m. - 5 p.m., Franklin Hospital, 201 Bailey Lane, Benton. Aug. 10, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Elks Lodge, 167 Industrial Park, Benton.

To make an appointment or for more information, simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next d on at i on by u s i n g RapidPass to complete t h e i r p r e - d o n at i o n reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and prov ides emot iona l support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

CENTRALIA BALLOON FEST SEARCHING FOR ELVIS IMPERSONATORS This year’s Balloon Fest will feature contestants singing or performing music by Elvis Presley in an Elvis Impersonator Contest. “For the past several years, Balloon Fest has hosted talent shows or singing contests named ‘Balloon Fest Has Talent’ or ‘Balloon Fest Idol’. This year, with the Elvis Tribute special shape hot air balloon, we found a theme for the contest,” said Marcus Holland, Executive Director of t h e C h amb e r of Commerce. On Saturday, August 19, the Balloon Fest Elvis Impersonator and Singing Contest will be held under the family picnic tent from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Contestants can provide music on CD or select from a list of Elvis songs to karaoke. Guitars are allowed, but no other instruments. All songs must be written or performed by Elvis. “We want to thank Jack Graham State Farm Agency, for sponsoring this contest. Because of his sponsorship,

there are cash prizes for best Elvis impersonator, best stage performance, and best vocals with karaoke,” said Holland. There is no cost to enter the contest and space is limited. Applicants are being asked to contact the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce immediately with their stage name, real name, contact information, and Elvis song choice. “There will be judges watching the competition and scoring on vocal talent, performance, and appearance. The contestants do not have to look or sound like Elvis, but it will help their scores if they do,” adds Holland. This competition is one of the many activities and events at Balloon Fest, which runs from August 18 through August 20. More information about Balloon Fest can be found at www. balloon-fest.com. Balloon Fest will have over 35 hot air balloons, two balloon glows, multiple balloon races, craft vendors, food vendors, entertain-

Top news of the week: John McCain drops the ball again. Although for most of Sen. McCain's service to our country I've held him in the highest regard, of late it appears to me and many others that his contempt for President Donald Trump has clouded his better judgement. Recently, after McCain being diagnosed with brain cancer, I thought he might have had a change of heart when he stood before his colleagues and said we need to put our differences aside and get something done, the most positive thing I've heard come out of his mouth for a long time. Then on the GOP Obamacare repeal bill, three GOP senators rebelled in a final vote of 51-49, with John McCain casting the last dissenting vote, to save the failing Obamacare that in a short time will implode, leaving many Americans in serious trouble without proper coverage and out of sight premiums. Pe r s o n a l l y, I w a s stunned, as many Americans were along with his Party's leaders. On Friday at 2:00 a.m. McCain joined two others, Susan Collins o f Ma i n e a n d L i s a Murkowski of Alaska, in turning their backs on Americans. Looking back, in March McCain told reporters he was concerned about how the "skinny repeal" bill would affect Arizona because the House bill cut hundreds of billions in Medicaid funding. Remember Arizona opted to expand Medicaid coverage under the ACA and would stand to lose a significant amount of funding.

Following his negative vote, he simply touched on his lingering concerns about the "skinny repeal" bill! So needless to say, Donald Trump is none too happy with McCain, nor the Senators from Alaska or Maine, and in my opinion, for good reason. A n ot h e r t h or n i n Trump's side should be the Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, who half the time needs to be told to shut up and sit down. I think in a short time you'll see a few more heads roll, and justifiably so; and no, I'm not talking about Jeff Sessions. Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was replaced over the weekend by General John Kelly. So who's next? Anyway, with all that said, let's look at Trump's first six months in the White House, all accomplished under great distress, fighting every step of the way against the Party of resistance and the Washington establishment. Anyway, in spite of it all there have clearly been successes. At the top of the list is Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. On the legislative front, Trump's biggest victory, in my opinion, is a bill making it easier to fire incompetent employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and protecting whistle blowers in the agency. He has also signed some 15 bills repealing all or parts of Obama era regulations, all steps in the right direction. Another positive is his withdrawal from the Paris

Accord (an important signal America is going to pr i or it i z e e c on om i c growth). Not to mention the jobless rate is at a 16 year low, and close to full employment, and the economy continues its climb. He's also driving the liberals, the media and the Washington establishment crazy. On to the state of Illinois. Heads up! Backers of Senate Bill 1, led by who else but Speaker of the House Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, say it promises to change the way schools are funded in Illinois. But in reality, a Chicago City Wire analysis of the 482page bill found carefully crafted language (imagine that!), which in effect, would distribute responsibility for paying off the massive debt incurred by Chicago Public Schools (CPS) across the rest of Illinois. Much of that debt burden will fall on the Chicago suburbs who already get far less subsidies for their schools than CPS. The kicker is the bill guarantees the rapidly shrinking CPS will never again get less state funding than it does in 2017. The CPS debt is now $17 billion. At last word Governor Rauner does not intend to sign the bill; he plans to rewrite it. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O. Box 1223, Centralia IL 62801, email to info@theshoppersweekly.com or drop it off at the office on 301 E. Broadway.

ILLINOIS CONTROLLED PHEASANT HUNTING RESERVATION INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE Controlled pheasant hunting opportunities will be available at 20 Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) sites during the 2017-18 hunting season. Dates and permit reservation information are now available online. Sixteen of the sites are operated by the IDNR, while four other sites continue to be operated in a public/private partnership arrangement between the IDNR and concessionaire T. Miller, Inc. “Controlled pheasant hunting provides an upland game hunting experience for thousands of hunters in Illinois each year, as well as a great chance for young hunters to have successful days afield,” said IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal. “Many hunters tell us they appreciate the program, and now is the time for hunters to start planning for the upcoming season.” The online permit reservation system for IDNRoperated sites opens on Monday, Aug. 7, and permit information, season dates, and other information are now available. Detailed information and permit reservations are available now for the four sites managed by T. Miller, Inc. Hunters should always review the application instructions and season information accessible online prior to submitting an application. On IDNR-operated sites, the daily fee for permits acquired online for controlled pheasant hunting is $30 for resident hunters and $35 for nonresident hunters. The daily permit fee applies to each hunter. Hunters are required to pay for permits acquired online in advance over a secure Internet system using an American E x p r e s s , D i s c o v e r, MasterCard, or Visa credit card. The credit card account is billed when hunters submit an application. A transaction fee of $1.00 or 2.35% of the permit fee (whichever is higher) will be assessed for each application, except for applications submitted for the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt.

The public/private partnership controlled pheasant hunting areas are Chain O’Lakes State Park in Lake County, Silver Springs State Fish and Wildlife Area in Kendall County, Ramsey Lake State Park in Fayette County, and Horseshoe Lake State Park in Madison County. Information about controlled pheasant hunting at these sites is available on t he concessionaire’s website at www.tmillerinc. com or via a link on the IDNR website at www.dnr. illinois.gov. Of the 16 sites operated by the IDNR, six provide only the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt opportunity for young hunters between the ages of 10-17. Those six sites are the Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area in Tazewell County, Clinton Lake State Recreation Area in DeWitt County, Edward Madigan State Fish and Wildlife Area in Logan County, Pere Marquette State Park in Jersey County, Sangchris Lake State Park in Christian and Sangamon Counties, and the World Shooting and Recreational Complex in Randolph County. Nine sites provide lengthy hunting seasons for hunters, as well as additional special hunting days for young hunters under the age of 18. Those nine sites are Johnson Sauk Trail State Recreation Area in Henry County, the Des Plaines State Fish and Wildlife Area in Will County, Kankakee River State Park in Kankakee County, the Iroquois County State Wildlife Area, Moraine View State R e cre at ion Are a in McLean County, Sand Ridge State Forest in Mason County, Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area in Cass County, Eldon Hazlet State Recreation Area in Clinton C ounty, and Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area in Jefferson and Franklin Counties. The Green River State Wildlife Area in Lee County provides 15 days of controlled pheasant hunting during a season that extends from early November until just before

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area

Christmas. At Des Plaines, Moraine View and Eldon Hazlet, hunting opportunities are available for hunters with disabilities where special vehicles are provided to assist with the hunt. Online permit reservations for the first lottery period on IDNR-operated sites will be accepted from 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 7 until 1:00 p.m. on Aug. 14. Two additional one-week drawing periods are scheduled thereafter. Hunters should always review the application instructions and season information on the controlled pheasant hunting website prior to submitting an application. To navigate to the controlled pheasant hunting website once the IDNR website www.dnr.illinois. gov has been accessed, hunters should follow these directions: • Click on the “Hunt/ Trap” button on the toolbar • Then click on "Upland Game" • Then click on “Controlled Pheasant Hunting Permits, Hunting Areas, Regs, etc.” IDNR-operated controlled pheasant hunting sites will continue to have a portion of their hunter quota allocated to standby hunters. Standby hunters acquire permits and pay permit fees at the site hunter check station on the day of the hunt.

Standby permits are also available for the Illinois Youth Pheasant Hunt if the site hunter quota is not filled by young hunters with reserved permits prior to the hunt date. Hunters without computers are encouraged to gain access to the controlled pheasant hunting online reservation system by checking with family or friends with a computer or by using a computer at their local public library. Completing a permit reservation online takes less than five minutes. For complete details, check the controlled pheasant hunting website at www.dnr.illinois.gov or the T. Miller, Inc. website at www.tmillerinc.com.

ILLINI SUMMER ACADEMIES REVEALS NEW WONDERS FOR ILLINOIS TEENS It’s like suddenly seeing the world in a new way. That’s how teens attending the Illinois 4-H Illini Summer Academies describe their time studying with University of Illinois instructors in late June. From quantum mechanics and mutagenesis to honey bee health and family interactions, U of I staff allowed Academy teens to peek in the windows of emerging technologies, scientific investigation, and human development explored on this great campus. “I’ll never look at a movie the same way after this conference,” Marion County 4-H Member Lindy Branch said. Lindy is one of 10 youth in the Theatre Fashion Academy with Barbara Schoenoff of the Krannert Center. The group evaluated the recent Beauty and the Beast movie to understand how subtle changes in the beast’s costumes advanced the movie’s key themes. “I’m considering changing my major now because of this class,” Branch said. Theatre Fashion was one of 15 fields of study offered to 275 Illinois teens June 25-29. For many teens, it was their first time on the U of I campus and their first time to consider potential college majors and future careers. Other academies included two courses in Human Development and Family Studies, Ag Communication, Animal S ciences, Veter inar y Medicine, Aerospace Engineering, Micro and C e l l u l a r B i o l o g y, Journalism, Chemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Entomology, Digital Manufacturing, Anthropology, and Theatre Hip Hop Dance. Teens learned how interwoven the sciences … and life … really are. “We use math and physics to better understand chemistry,” said Professor Nancy Makri, Gutgsel professor of chemistry, as she described quantum mechanics with 2 0 s t u d e nt s i n t h e Chemistry Academy. One could hear the excitement and wonder in her voice as she admitted, “After more than 30 years of teaching, I still get excited at the science.” Dane Sievers, Electrical and Computer Engineering

teaching lab coordinator, helped students get dressed for entry in the lab’s “clean room.” Feeling a bit like Teletubbies, the students saw technologies and equipment valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars, far exceeding any lab their local schools could provide. The first activity for teens in the Anthropolog y Academy was to piece together skeletal bones. “Anthropologists study how humans came to exist and how we interact with one another on a cultural, physical, and biological level,” said Alexandra Zachwieja, anthropology grad teaching assistant. “We attempt to analyze the diversity of the human condition in both the past and the present, and hope the students gain an understanding of how far reaching Anthropology can be in our everyday lives.” Janice Collins, assistant professor of journalism, said her goal for the week was to show teens “every voice has power; every voice is important.” The students each will produce a video clip as part of their coursework. “We want youth to gain experiences which will advance their knowledge, attitude, and self-confidence,” said Alvarez Dixon, University of Illinois Extension 4-H youth development specialist in college and career readiness. Life Science Teaching Specialist Melissa Murray Reedy has seen that success first-hand. Last year, three students in her introductory microbiology course came up after the first class and said they were all part of Reedy’s Micro and Cellular Biology 4-H Summer Academy. She said she felt the conference helped the students transition to college life and feel more comfortable approaching university instructors, such as herself. “During this week in MCB, we hope that students walk away with an appreciation for the complexity of living organisms,” Reedy said, “and we hope they get excited about biology.” Katelyn Jones-Hamlow and the faculty in the ACES Animal Science department hope to expand the

HAS A MORE ACCURATE WAY TO ASSESS OBESITY BEEN DEVELOPED?

BVI, which measures body volume in comparison to fat concentrated around the abdomen, may replace BMI as a more accurate reading of overweight or obesity. Being obese or overweight is cause for concern at any age. Doctors and fitness experts have long relied on body mass index, or BMI, as a method of determining healthy weight ranges based on a ratio of height to weight. However, BMI may not be the most accurate measure of fitness. In May of 2017, a team of researchers at the Mayo Clinic unveiled the Body Volume Indicator (BVI)™ as a new tool for assessing body size and health.

Researchers spent 10 years in collaboration with BVI America LLC to lead an extensive study on fat distribution and how to better assess whether a person is within the healthy zone for his or her body type. Rather than look at height and weight, BVI looks more closely at abdominal fat concentrations, which proponents consider a more accurate way to determine potential health risk. BVI is considered to be a more precise means of estimating

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area

weight distribution and fat around the organs. This visceral fat in the abdominal area can impact a person’s risk for diabetes and heart disease, offers Mayo Clinic researchers. Experts at Har vard Medical School touted the dangers of abdominal fat as early as 2005, saying, “for health, the issue is not how much you weigh, but how much abdominal fat you have.” It’s unclear how visceral fat leads to negative health outcomes, but many believe this fat interferes with the normal functioning of internal organs. Through a professional app, clinicians can more accurately estimate the body volume, percentage of visceral fat and distribution of body fat for patients. The app compares an image of a patient standing sideways to one of him or her taken head-on. This information will be combined with age, gender and level of physical

activity to paint a better picture of how individuals measure up. Across North America, obesity remains a major concern. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010, found that more than two in three adults are considered to be over weight or obese.

Furthermore, about onethird of children and adolescents between the ages of six and 19 are overweight or obese. Although these statistics may change now that BVI will be used in conjunction with other measures of body weight and personal health, they provide an eyeopening glimpse into the health of children in the

United States. Although there is no single cause of obesity, nor one ideal approach that can help prevent it, education remains a viable tool. Having more accurate means to identifying problem areas, such as visceral fat, can help the public in various ways.

NO SAFE LEVELS OF LEAD According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there are no safe levels of lead. Lead is particularly harmful to children’s health. Exposure to lead can stunt children’s growth while also contributing to behavioral and learning problems. Anemia, reduced growth of fetuses in pregnant women, cardiovascular effects, and reproductive problems also are side effects of lead exposure. Many people once came into contact with lead via lead-based paints, which have been banned in the United States for consumer use since 1978. But lead also can be lurking in water supplies. The EPA

says that between 10 and 20 percent of instances of lead exposure can be traced to contaminated water. Homes built before 1986 are the biggest risk factors for lead plumbing. As of January 2014, all newly installed water fixtures, pipes and fittings must meet new lead-free requirements. But within the United States, public water suppliers and existing homes do not need to retrofit. The National Drinking Water Advisory Council found around 7.3 million lead service lines currently deliver water to customers.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Lesson from a Camel A Facebook post portrayed a whimsical camel with a caption that asked, “What does a camel wear in the desert? It wears camelflage.” Jesus often used humorous analogies to make a point. One day his disciples were dumbfounded when he declared, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” The disciples were incredulous as they asked, “Who then can be saved?” But he answered, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:18-27) Let’s learn some vital lessons from the rich young ruler and a camel. A GOOD GOD. A rich young ruler asked Jesus, “Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Notice Jesus’ reply, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is God.” (Luke 18:18-19) The scriptures point out that Barnabas “was a good man, full of the

Holy Spirit and faith.” (Acts 11:24) Jesus was revealing that He was not just a good teacher, but the Son of God. The Good Shepherd who gave himself up for his sheep. (John 10:11) Only God is totally good. Jesus is God come in the flesh. A GOOD MAN. Jesus answered the young rich man by pointing him to the Ten Commandments. He replied, “All of these I have kept from my youth.” The young man viewed himself a good and righteous man. The Word of God points out our condition. “For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) We all need the grace and mercy of a good God. A GOOD CHOICE. Jesus told the rich young ruler that he lacked one thing. “Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven and come follow me.”

(Luke 18:22) Jesus was offering him an opportunity of a lifetime to obtain true riches. To follow Jesus requires absolute surrender of our everything. (Luke 14:26) Martha’s sister Mary, “chose that good part, which will not be taken away.” (Luke 10:41) The rich young ruler went away sad. A GOOD TREASURE. I saw an advertisement for a flea market coming up billed as a “Fall Junkapalooza.” It’s been said, “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure." Some spend their life searching for the elusive “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” Jesus urged the young man to lay up treasures in heaven that will last forever. A giving heart makes eternal investments. A GOOD ANALOGY. When Jesus saw the response of the young man he said, “It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” By using this hyperbole, Jesus helps us to understand how difficult it is for a rich person to give up everything to follow Jesus. This is exactly

what Jesus requires to be his disciple. (Luke 14:26-27) But look what we gain — treasure in heaven, the Pearl of Great Price — Jesus. A GOOD DECLARATION OF FAITH. When the disciples understood what Jesus was saying they were amazed and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus declared, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:26) All things are possible with God; even getting a camel through the eye of a needle. Paul understood this. “This is a faithful saying . . . that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.” (I Timothy 1:15) The apostle Paul had a Damascus Road experience that totally changed his life. He surrendered his all to Jesus and declared that he counted everything else as rubbish that he might win Christ. (Philemon 3:4-8) God can save the “chiefest” of sinners. Are you saved? Believe God to do what you can’t. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

by Samantha Weaver • It was best-selling author and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart — the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean — who made the following sage observation: "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers." • The elephant is the only animal that can be trained to stand on its

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A turn in a relationship upsets the amorous Arian, who is puzzled by Cupid’s romantic antics. Be patient and considerate. The confusion soon will sort itself out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time for travel-loving Taureans to take off for fun-filled jaunts to new places. And don’t be surprised if Cupid tags along for what could be a very eventful trip. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You appear to be of two minds about continuing a relationship that seems to be riding roughshod over your emotions. A frank talk could help you decide one way or the other. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping back from a relationship problem provides a fresh perspective on how to deal with it. Meanwhile, watch your words. Something said in anger now could backfire later. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A changing situation makes the Big Cat uneasy. But hold on until things settle down around the 5th. Meanwhile, continue your good work on that stillunfinished project. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A decided improvement in a workplace situation results in an unexpected, but very welcome, added benefit for everyone. Personal relationships also improve. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Money matters remain a bit unsettled but soon will ease into the kind of sta-

bility you appreciate. Meanwhile, an expanding social life offers a chance to make new friends. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Use an unexpected roadblock in your monetary dealings to reassess your financial plans and make changes, if necessary. It soon will be smooth sailing again. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Aspects of love are strong for both single and paired Sagittarians. Professional dealings also thrive under the Sag’s clever handling of difficult situations. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Set a realistic goal and follow it through to completion. Remember: You’re more likely to impress the right people with one well-done job than with lots of jobs left undone. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You like to plan ahead. That’s fine. But be prepared to make some changes because of an unsettled period that influences your aspects through the 5th. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A brief phase of instability affects your usual work cycle. Use the time to catch up on chores around the house or office. Things settle down soon after the 5th. BORN THIS WEEK: You love being the center of attention and probably would be a big success in show business. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

head (other than humans, of course). • Historians of ancient Rome say that a threeman crew was required to handle a war chariot: The rein handler was responsible for managing the horses, and the shooter focused on launching arrows at the enemy. The straphanger, who stayed at the back of the chariot, had the unenviable task of making

sure the other two crew members didn't fall out as the chariot bounced over bodies. • Those who study such things say that your blood is filtered through your kidneys approximately 20 times every hour. • You surely know what a boycott is — a method of protest entailing the refusal to buy a product or deal with a person or organization. You might not know, however, where we got the word. Here's the story: In 19th-ce ntury Ireland, there was an English land agent n am e d C h ar l e s C . Boycott. During a time when crops were failing — depriving many

farmers of income as well as food — he refused their pleas to lower rents. In retribution, he was ostracized, with many people refusing to do business or even socialize with him. • Statisticians say that women who marr y younger men tend to live longer. *** Thought for the Day: "A man who is 'ill-adjusted' to the world is always on the verge of finding himself. One who is adjusted to the world never finds himself, but gets to be a cabinet minister." — Hermann Hesse © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
