you're taking the size of your apartment into consideration. Once you have the doctor's letter and management approval, take some extra time — plenty of it — to consider what kind of companion animal you would like to make part of your family. A search online for small- and medium-sized breeds will give you a good overview of the different traits of each breed. Basenjis, for example, don't bark — which is great if you don't want to annoy your neighbors — but also are energetic and playful. Pomeranians and Chihuahuas can be big barkers and even somewhat aggressive. Bulldogs are impressive, but can suffer from specific health problems. Then of course, you can

SOUTH CENTRAL TRANSIT CONTINUES TO GROW South Central Transit has experienced exciting times since 2006. Ridership has increased by 178% — this equates to more rides to and from work, school, medical appointments, shopping and social activities. In 2006, average trips provided per month were 17,700; today SCT provides an average of 49,500 trips per month. In 2006 the majority of riders were seniors; today, adult riders have surpassed the seniors by twice the number. This is due, in part, to the deviated shuttles that SCT has implemented over the past few years. Since 2011

Inter-city shuttles have been put in place that have allowed clients to travel within and between counties in SCT’s service district (Marion, Jefferson, Clinton, Washington, Franklin and Perry). The inter-city deviated shuttle routes allow the riders in the communities that they serve more options for employment as the shuttles were created to include stops that coincide with the shift changes of many large employers in SCT’s service district. SCT continues to adapt to the needs of the public and to the change in rider profile.

In 2014, SCT implemented Intra-city deviated shuttles within the cities of Centralia and Mt. Vernon. This service consists of many designated bus stops throughout each city that can be accessed without calling the scheduling department. By using these shuttles, a rider can jump on a bus and travel to just about any destination within the city. Both Centralia and Mt. Vernon have transfer stations that allow the rider to change buses, depending on the destination they wish to reach. Centralia’s transfer station is located at 100 N. Locust St. and Mt. Vernon’s is located at Times Square Mall. The buses meet at the transfer stations every hour from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Public transportation has a direct economic impact on the local economy as it provides affordable access to job opportunities as well as provides shopping opportunities to many consumers who, without transportation, would be home bound. SCT hears testimonies daily from riders who state that they would not be able to work if it were not for SCT or would be unable to travel to medical appointments or buy groceries if not for the services that SCT provides. The increased ridership over the years has naturally created a growth in employment opportunities at SCT as well. The number of employees has increased by 112% since 2006, which equates to 75 additional employees hired over the past eleven years. SCT has helped to stimulate the economy by adding four facilities since 2006: an office and garage in West Frankfort, DuQuoin, Breese and Salem. An additional maintenance garage was also added to the Breese facility in 2015. SCT is partially funded by the Downstate Operating

Assistance Program (DOAP) that is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation. This program was established to provide operating funds to assist in the operation of public transit systems statewide. Currently, DOAP pays up to 65% of eligible expenses and each eligible participant receives an annual appropriation. With the State’s current financial crisis SCT has struggled this year to maintain services at their current level due to payments being delayed. SCT is required to match the DOAP funding by providing the remaining 35% deficit from contractual services with other non-profit or governmental agencies. In 2006 SCT averaged $389,000 in local match; today, SCT retains nearly $1.5 million in local match. SCT has been very fortunate that so many non-profit agencies have entrusted SCT to provide transportation services for them. For these reasons SCT has been able to continue operating when IDOT payments have been so delayed. SCT has received over $7 million dollars in state and federal capital grant money over the last ten years, which has provided them the opportunity to upgrade technology in order to better serve the community and the riders. The SCT website, www.southcentraltransit.org, has recently been upgraded and now includes the deviated shuttle route schedules summarized by county. You will also find rider and employee testimonials and all the current happenings at SCT. SCT is proud to be an asset to the communities that it ser ves. The Managing Director and her staff have worked diligently over the years to make SCT the safe and affordable public transportation provider that it has become.

speakOUT letters to the editor

Dear President Trump: As a retired Vietnam veteran and recognizing you as our Commander-inChief, I ask you to consider fulfilling your number one job as our President, the security and protection of our country. Dictator Kim Jong of North Korea is a threat to our country, and he is getting stronger in developing his nuclear and ballistic missile war weapons. I have no doubts that Kim Jong will attack our mainland. As Commander-in-Chief, you have just two options in dealing with North Korea: (1) Allow Kim to develop his nuclear and ICBM missile programs and attack our country; and/or (2) Attack and destroy North Korean weapons. Dic t ator Kim Jong reminds me of Hitler prior to and during World War II. He was allowed to attack

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area

other countries and almost killed off the German Jewish population. We should not allow North Korea to continue to develop their war weapons and wait until they attack us. As President, I strongly ask you to inform dictator Kim Jong that on August 20, 2017 you will attack and d e st roy h is we ap ons program, and also alert and direct our military forces for war. I hope you will attack and attack Kim Jong into submission. Mr. President, you stated that former President Obama was weak! Well, Mr. President, what have you done to check and combat North Korea's nuclear and ICBM missile programs since you have been in office? Face the facts, President Trump. Kim Jong hasn't changed his military development programs, and you

can talk and warn him until the cows come home, but until you take military action against Dictator Kim Jong, he won't change. Do something, President Trump! Let's get Kim Jong.

Wednesday, August 9, 2017 I have to agree with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) when he said on NBC's Today Show that the marines have landed at the White House, and in my opinion, it's about time. It leads me to believe the leaking will stop or else, and General John Kelly will take control! One can only hope. In Venezuela, a group of armed men on Sunday re-

portedly attacked a military base and made off with some weapons. How sad a country fell under this kind of devastation under socialism; hopefully, the United States can learn something from this tragedy.

quarters of the population lost weight last year — in what once was the fourthrichest country in the world on a per capita basis. A country that has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia is suffering shortages of basic supplies. Venezuela now totters on the brink of bankruptcy and civil war, in the national catastrophe known as the Bolivarian Revolution. The phrase is the coinage of the late Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, succeeded by current Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, who has instituted an ongoing selfcoup to make his country a one-party state. The Chavezistas have worked from the typical communist playbook of romanticizing the masses while immiserating them. Runaway spending, price controls, nationalization of companies, corruption and the end of the rule of law — it's been a master class in how to destroy an economy. The result is a sharp, y e a r s l o n g re c e s s i o n , runaway inflation and unsustainable debt. The suffering of ordinary people is staggering, while the thieves and k i l l e rs w ho are Chavezista officials have made off with hundreds of billions of dollars. At this rate there will be nothing left to steal. Any government in a democratic country that failed this spectacularly would have been relegated to the dustbin of history long ago. Maduro is getting around this problem by ending Venezuela's democracy. The Chavezistas slipped up a year or two by allowing real elections for the country's National Assembly, which were swept by the opposition. They then undertook a war against the assembly, stripping it of its

powers and culminating in a rigged vote last week to elect a constituent assembly to rewrite the constitution. The goal of Maduro's alleged constitutional reforms is to no longer have a constitution worthy of the name. Denied the ordinary means of dissent via the press and elections, the opposition has taken to the streets. Already more than 100 people have been killed in clashes over the past several months. Worse is yet to come. Lacking legitimacy and representing only a fraction of the populace, the Maduro regime will rely on the final backstop of violent suppression. There is no easy remedy to Venezuela's agony. If mediation were the solution, the country never would have gotten to this pass. E nd l e ss ne got i at i ons between the government and the opposition have gone nowhere. The U.S. needs to use every economic and diplomatic lever to undermine the regime and build an international coalition against it. We should impose more sanctions on specific officials and on the state-run oil company; we should advertise what we know about the details of how Chavezistas park their ill-gotten gains abroad; we should nudge our allies to further isolate the Venezuelan government by pulling ambassadors and breaking diplomatic relations. The hope is that with enough pressure, the regime will crack, and high-level officials will break with Maduro, weakening his position and making a negotiated restoration of democratic rule possible. In the meantime, the Bolivarian Revolution is proceeding according to its sick logic — and there will be blood.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Look at the Birds of the Air I love sighting uncommon birds. Recently, I saw a ring-necked pheasant, which is uncommon in my neck of the woods. I love it that our creator, God, made such a wide variety of beautiful birds, strange birds, old birds, peacocks, chickens, and eagles. God loves us all. Jesus taught us that if we want to understand and experience the love of God, we need to look at the birds of the air. “Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:2533) T he re are many species of sparrows. They are rather common and ordinary, not colorful or known for their beautiful songs. “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Heavenly Father’s will.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area

But the very hairs of your head are numbered. Do not fear therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:27-31) What was Jesus teaching us from the common sparrow? DO NOT FEAR. Jesus was telling his disciples to proclaim the good news of the gospel without fear. (Matthew 10:27-28) Many would be martyred for their faith, but no one can kill the soul. There are millions of sparrows, “but not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.” You are in God’s hands. He knows where you’re at and he knows every intimate detail of your life — he even knows the number of hairs that are on your head. (Matthew 10:30) He knows all about you. Do not be afraid. KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED. God values you. “Do not fear, therefore, you are of more value than many

sparrows.” None of God’s children are common or ordinary. You are highly favored and deeply loved. You should expect good things to come your way. “He who did not spare his Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not, with him, also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:31-39) Understand how much you are valued and loved. DO NOT WORRY. In the “Sermon on the Mount,” Jesus told us not to worry. He told us to consider the birds of the air. They don’t sow nor reap nor gather up and store in barns, “yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6:25-27) Many people are too focused on the things of this world. Life consists of so much more than that. Jesus said that we should not worry because worry can’t change anything. The birds of the air do not worry — they trust God to provide. You have his promise of provision. (Philippians 4:19) Paul gave us the remedy for worry. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer . . . with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God; and the peace of

God . . . will guard your hearts and minds.” (Philippians 4:6-7) FEED ON THE BREAD OF LIFE. God feeds the birds of the air and our Heavenly Father will feed our soul on the true bread from heaven. Jesus taught, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6) An eagle feeds on rich protein, such as fish. They are constantly being renewed. (Isaiah 40:31) Only as you hunger after God, can your soul be satisfied and renewed. (Matthew 6:33) The other day I happened to see a woman pulling a suitcase on wheels. She was hitchhiking to wherever the road would take her. She’s like a roadrunner running here and there, forever searching. After I bought her lunch I gave her my business card that says, “If you don’t like the way the cookie crumbles, try the Bread of Life — Jesus.” Hunger for the Bread of Life — only he can satisfy your soul.

Bean Insurance

The American Dream is still alive today if they have the willingness to do what it takes to achieve it.

Debbie

Be the person you want to see in others. If you want sincerity, be sincere. If you want honesty, be honest. If you want to be accepted, accept others. If you want love, love others.

Lori

Sun Loans, Centralia

Treat others as you would want them to treat you.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A strong social whirl brings a new round of good times to fun-loving Rams and Ewes. Cupid also is busy aiming arrows at single Lambs hoping for a heart-to-heart encounter. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A romantic incident could take a more serious turn if the Divine Bovine considers meeting Cupid’s challenge. Meanwhile, a professional opportunity also is about to turn up. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A bit of hardheaded realism could be just what the Twins need at this emotionally challenged time. Face the facts as they are, not as you want them to be. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Many opportunities open up. But you need to be aware of their actual pros and cons. Check them all out and make your choice from those that offer more of what you seek. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A more stable situation begins, allowing you to feel more secure about making important decisions. Meanwhile, be sure to meet your project deadline so you can move on to other things. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A new personal relationship thrives as you learn how to make room in your busy life for this wonderfully warm and exciting emotional experience. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A new contact opens some doors. That’s the good news. But there’s a

caution involved: Be sure you protect your rights to your work before showing it to anyone. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A former colleague might seek to resume a working partnership. Ask yourself if you need it. If yes, get more information. If no, respectfully decline the request. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good times dominate your aspect. So why not have a party to celebrate a loved one’s success? And do invite that special person you want to know better. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The shy side of the Sea Goat soon gives way to your more assertive self. This should help you when it comes time to speak up for yourself and your achievements. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new period of stability will help you deal with some recently reworked plans. Once you get your current task done, you can devote more time to personal matters. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things are finally much more stable these days, so you can restart the process of meeting your well-planned goals with fewer chances of interruption or delay. BORN THIS WEEK: You love being the brightest light wherever you are, and people love basking in your warmth and charm. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
