Bill O'Reilly, while promoting his new book, said last week in an interview with Matt Lauer of The Today Show that there were three schools in Texas looking at changing their names. One is Madison named in honor of James Madis on, anot her is Jefferson named after Thomas Jefferson, and the last one is B enjamin Franklin. Where will this insanity stop? But I can tell you where it started, and it wasn't under the leadership of Donald J. Trump, despite what the haters have to say. But in the meantime, the craziness continued in Cahokia, IL, in the streets of St. Louis, and in other areas. So when a metro east coach steered second graders (eight year olds) to turn their backs on the American flag and take a knee to the field during the national anthem, many weren't surprised, although I was. In total disbelief, the first thought I had was more fake news, and I have to admit I hoped it was. However, on Monday morning a week ago, I did indeed find out the team did this ahead of the game at Little Devils Field in Belleville, IL. I soon found out after a number of phone calls to Cahokia public schools that it was true, but one thing I need to point out is this team was not part of the public school system, and going one step further, had nothing to do with the public school system sports program. The team was part of the Cahokia Quarterback Club. The team is being co ache d by Orl ando
Gooden. It was reported that the pregame gesture was initiated by a discussion during a practice. One of the kids asked what was going on in St. Louis. The coach said he felt it was a teaching opportunity, and to that I would have told him that it wasn't his job to teach them about social issues. (These are eight year old children, and that would be their parents' responsibility and right!) It was also pointed out to these eight year olds that in 2016 San Francisco 49ers Querterback Colin Kaepernick made kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner a form of protest. But what the coach didn't make a point to tell these children is that to date he hasn't been resigned, and in my opinion, he shouldn't be! But in the meantime, on social media there have been a lot of patriotic folks c a l l i n g f o r t h e J r. Commanches organization to be expelled from the TriCounty League. President Trump last Saturday said if any NFL players didn't stand for the national anthem, "Get that SOB off the field right now." But what happened last Sunday during the NFL football game in London? The Baltimore Ravens' Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis lent their star power to the ongoing un-American protest by taking a knee on the field along with most of the NFL players and coaches who kneeled or locked arms. It leaves me wondering what the rest of the world thinks. I only hope and pray that they realize most of us find this behavior
un-American and unspeakable. As for me, I won't watch another NFL football game and encourage all to boycott them, because, folks, that's what peaceful protest is! This behavior of the NFL is a slap in the face to every American who has fought and paid a huge price for each and every one of us. And yes, I believe in peaceful protest as long as it doesn't disrespect what the American flag and the national anthem stand for. On to other issues. Senator John McCain is once again saying he will vote no on the new healthcare bill as well as Rand Paul. What's interesting is Rand Paul voted yes the last two times. Is the new healthcare bill going to pass this time? My prediction is no. Rand Paul also said on Meet the Press Sunday that Obama and Hillary Clinton were responsible for what's happening with Rocket Man in North Korea. He said, "What happened in Libya taught the rest of the world not to trust us." I totally disagree with the Senator. I do hold Obama and Clinton responsible for what's happened in much of the Middle East because of their actions in Libya, but this has nothing to do with the leader of North Korea's actions and threats to us and others. The bottom line is he's crazy. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

Helping to Save Houston's Pets DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I'm heartbroken over the ongoing disaster in south Texas and Louisiana, and especially for the thousands of pets being displaced and separated from their owners. It stirs up terrible memories of Hurricane Katrina and all the lost pets from that storm. Is there anything that we, who are in safe places, can do to help these pets and owners who have lost everything? — Carol in Buffalo, New York DEAR CAROL: Twelve years ago, I wrote about the problems caused by Katrina's flooding, including pets being displaced and sent to shelters across the country. There was a huge increase of diseases like heartworm in pets who were lost outdoors for many days. Since then, a lot has changed. Disaster plan-
ning now requires that pets be considered in cities' evacuation plans. Shelters in hurricane-prone areas have developed disaster plans that include ways to effectively manage an influx of hundreds of animals. Ahead of Harvey, many shelters in the evacuation zones transferred their adoptable occupants to other states to make room for rescued pets. Local shelters are networking more closely with each other, with national rescue groups and with the public (thanks in part to social media like Twitter) to coordinate transfer of animals to overflow shelters. For example, one shelter, Austin Pets Alive!, is taking in pets by the truckload and for several days has coordinated transfers, as well as calls for volunteers and supplies, via Twitter. You may be able to donate supplies directly to Texas shelters that need them (by ordering them on Amazon, for example) or by donating money to national rescue organizations like HSUS or the ASPCA.

NEW LAW IMPROVES ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR RURAL ILLINOIS A new law on the books in Illinois will help improve access to quality healthcare across the state, but especially in under-served rural areas, according to State Senator Kyle McCarter. House Bill 313, cosponsored by Sen. McCarter, was signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Bruce Rauner. “The legislation is a big win for our region of the state,” said McCarter (R-Lebanon). “As the Baby Boomers get older we are witnessing a growing population of seniors who need
access to quality healthcare. Illinois is showing true leadership on the healthcare issue, while the debate over healthcare access and cost issues in Washington seem to be going nowhere.” House Bill 313 will increase access to qualified health professionals by allowing Advanced Practice Registered (APRN) nurses the authority to provide stand-alone health care services and advice to patients. Services will include writing prescriptions. The legisla-
tion requires APRNs to complete 250 hours of continuing education or training and 4,000 hours of clinical experience. Clinical hours must be in the APRN’s area of certification and attested to by a physician. "APRNs are ideal candidates to fill the need for qualified healthcare professionals to address chronic disease prevention,” said McCarter. “In downstate Illinois, we have fewer and fewer doctors, which means people have to drive farther to seek healthcare. The
bottom line is the new law will expand the number of medical personnel to meet the increasing demand for health services, and at the same time, maintain quality, safe and cost-effective healthcare.” House Bill 313 is also expected to increase access to quality healthcare in densely populated urban locations, which has similar access issues. The measure received unanimous bipartisan support during the spring legislative session.
HARLEM WIZARDS VS. AMY'S ANGELS BASKETBALL GAME
A basketball game between the Harlem Wizards and Amy's Angels will be held on Oct. 1 at Centralia Jr. High School, 900 S. Pine St. in Centralia, IL. The event will be hosted by The Amy Center and
will feature Marion County Fair Queen Emma Butler. Game time is 2 p.m., doors open at 1 p.m. Cost of advance tickets is $8 for students, $10 for general admission. Tickets at the
door are $10 for students, $12 for general admission. Reserved seats are $16. Courtside Plus is $25; only 30 will be sold. Tickets are on sale at The Amy Center, 618-244-2100, or online at

BRYANT COTTAGE STATE HISTORIC SITE ADDED TO NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Bryant Cottage State Historic Site is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which recognizes historic places worthy of preservation. The site is recognized both as a well-maintained “hall and parlor”-type middle class home of the 1850s, and as the site of a historic meeting between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. “The listing is the result of years of work,” said Benjamin Pollard, site manager for the Bryant Cottage State Historic Site. “Now retired site superintendent Marilyn Ayers began pushing for a nomination years ago. The process started to pick up two years ago when Daniel Bacon, an intern in the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office, started nomination research. Intern Kara Pecoraro completed the nomination and presented it to the Illinois Historic Sites Advisory Council in June 2017. It was unanimously recommended to the National Register. After a review by the Keeper of the National Register within the National Park Service, Bryant Cottage was approved and listed on September 5, 2017.” Bryant Cottage becomes only the sixth place from Piatt County, Illinois listed on the register. It joins the Robert Allerton Estate, Monticello Courthouse Square Historic District, North State Street Historic District, South Charter
Street Historic District, and Voorhies Castle. Bryant Cottage State Historic Site – managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources – is located at 146 E. Wilson Ave. in Bement, Illinois. Bryant Cottage was built in 1856. According to Bryant family tradition, on the evening of July 29, 1858, Stephen A. Douglas and
Abraham Lincoln conferred in the parlor of the house to plan the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debates. During March through October, Bryant Cottage is open to visitors Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and is open Thursday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during November through February.

A Giant Year in the NFL I don't know about you, but this summer seemed especially boring in the world of sports. Save for Aaron Judge's first half, Dale Earnhardt's retirement, Kyle Bush's trifecta, Mayweather-McGregor and Federer's win at Wimbledon, there was not a lot going on. Luckily, the NFL is back. I'm not going to give any fantasy predictions, but these are three things that I'd hang my hat on for the upcoming season:

"He's a legend of the game, and he's still playing," Romo said. "The good ones play through [rebuilding years] and come out of it with a good team on the end. ... I think Eli is one of those."

1. Rajai Davis, in 2016, became the eighth Cleveland Indian to hit for the cycle (single, double, triple, home run) in a game. Who was the last player to do it before him? 2. In 1998, Juan Gonzalez of Texas became the second player to have 100-plus RBIs before the All-Star break. Who was the first? 3. Three times in the 1990s, quarterbacks went in the top two spots in the NFL Draft. Name two of
Manning ... it's almost at the level of martial arts. Whenever he's hit, he rolls with it and hits the ground on his terms. That's why he never missed a start in 14 seasons. Also, it's pretty easy to see whether or not the Giants will win any game. If Eli comes out firing and making completions, hitting that window, the Giants almost always win. They're one of the Super Bowl favorites this year, and he's a huge reason why. Dud of the Year: Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys The NFL history books are littered with tales of quarterbacks who had one great season (think Matt Leinart, Scott Mitchell or Ken O'Brien) and were never able to do it again. History shows that in order to be worth anything in this league, you have to do it at least twice. Prescott did it very well once, but now he has no running game with Ezekiel Elliott suspended for six games. Defenses can lay back and concentrate on stopping the pass. How Prescott reacts will determine whether or not the Cowboys made the right move in handing the franthe three sets. 4. Name the last school before Villanova (2014-17) to win at least three consecutive Big East regularseason titles in men's basketball. 5. How many teams during the 2016-17 NHL season had 12 players score at least 10 goals each? 6. In 2017, Kyle Larson became only the second NASCAR Cup driver to win from the pole in Fontana, Calif. Who was the first? 7. Who was older when he won his last tennis major: Andre Agassi or Pete Sampras? Answers 1. Travis Hafner, in 2003.
Super Bowl Pick: New York Giants defeat New England Patriots In addition to the potent Manning-Beckham Jr. attack, the Giants will have one of the best, if not the best, defenses in the league. I see them passing Green Bay in the playoffs in order to get New England, a juggernaut that defies description. Looking at their schedule, it's not a stretch to see the Giants, 11-5 last year, improving to 14-2, and if they don't, it would be a MAJOR letdown. Really, the only tough teams on their schedule are the Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders. The Giants will battle every NFC East team, and although a loss to the Cowboys, Redskins or Eagles away certainly could be in the cards, this team is playoff-bound if it gets its running game together. As far as New England goes? As long as Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are alive, there is no real compelling reason to choose any other team coming out of the AFC. I have them beating either the Chiefs or the rotten Raiders in the AFC championship. The rest is up to God and Tom Brady.

speakOUT letters to the editor
To the Editor, The Trump haters do not realize that there would be no President Trump if there had been no President Obama. Our post racial president did nothing to prosecute those responsible for the high Chicago murder rate. President Obama stated that police acted stupidly, blamed guns, and denied police riot control equipment. Despite his efforts, the carnage continued relentlessly. Multiculturalism sounds good yet not all cultures are equal. Inca and Aztec tribes sacrificed humans to their god. Some Indians tribes expelled widows from the tribe to preserve resources for the rest of the tribe. Should these practices be
revived? For the past eight years anyone who questioned a President Obama decision was labeled racist. There are two sides to every coin but the nation has had only one side of the coin to consider. The other side of the coin is composed of bigoted, homophobic, Neanderthal, Islamophobic, neo Nazi, white supremacist haters. Name calling is not a logical argument. For eight years there has been no logical, rational discussion on anything. Our press went along with the name calling, one sided coin political charade. The press strongly supports the free press. Is there any reporter or editor who can grasp the concept of free press responsibility?
Like it or not, President Obama gave us President Trump. Brady Young Odin _________________ Send your letters to the editor to: Shopper’s WeeklySpeak Out, P.O.

NEW STATE LAW ALLOWS ALL HUNTERS IN ILLINOIS TO USE CROSSBOWS DURING ARCHERY SEASONS Hunters in Illinois may use crossbows during archery hunting seasons, including the Illinois Archery Deer Season and the Illinois Fall Turkey Archery Season beginning on Oct. 1. Governor Bruce Rauner signed into law House Bill 2893, which amended the Illinois Wildlife Code to repeal restrictions on the use of crossbows during archery hunting seasons in
Illinois. Illinois law previously allowed the use of crossbows for archery hunting by persons age 62 or older, and those persons with disabilities who qualified for a crossbow permit issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). In addition, the previous law allowed certain youth hunters to use crossbows, and allowed all archery hunters to use
#7 Lilac Lane • Centralia, Illinois
crossbows beginning the Monday after the second firearm deer season. The 2017-18 season dates for archery deer and fall turkey archery hunting in Illinois are Oct. 1, 2017 through Jan. 14, 2018. Archery seasons will be closed Nov. 17-19 and Nov. 30-Dec. 3 during the Firearm Deer Season in those counties open to firearm deer hunting.

Farm life isn't easy. Farm families start early in the morning and end late in the day, especially during harvest season. It's not uncommon to see combines late in the evening — with their lights on — trying to play catch up. The same goes for the kitchen. Early, hearty breakfast is common, plus packed lunches as well as late dinners. A lot of times crock pot cooking comes in handy. It's ready when the family is ready. The best part is you can prepare and start it early. Some of my favorites meals are below, and don't miss next week's column for more recipes.

On November 13, 2017, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST, University of Illinois Extension will be holding a Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training workshop at Rend Lake College — Applied Science Center, Room 102, 468 N. Ken Gray Parkway, Ina, Illinois 62846. You can register and find more information at https:// web.extension. illinois.edu/registration/ ?RegistrationID=17068. The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in § 112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’ Compliance dates for this requirement are based on the total amount of food sales for your farm, over a three-year period: 1) Exempt farms — Farms that have an average annual value of produce sold during the previous 3-year period less than $25,000 are excluded. HOWEVER, the rule requires documentation to support the exemption. 2) Very small business — the average annual monet ar y va lue of produce sold during the previous 3-year period is between $25,000 and $250,000 — must complete training by
1/26/2020. 3) Small business — the average annual monetary value of produce sold during the previous 3-year period is no more than $500,000, and your farm is not a ver y small business – must complete training by 1/26/2019. 4) Other — the average annual monetary value of produce sold during the previous 3-year period is over $500,000 — must complete training by 1/26/2018. After attending the entire course, participants will receive a certificate from the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO) that verifies they have completed the training course. Certificates are required for individuals looking to meet the conditions of the FSMA Produce Rule. To receive an AFDO certificate, a participant must be present for the entire training and submit the appropriate paperwork to their trainer at the end of the course. Costs for the workshop ($120.00) includes lunch, AFDO Certificate, and PSA Grower Training Manual. Registration will close on October 27, 2017. There are a limited number of seats available for this training. Once the course is full, registration will close. Cancellation Policy: Cancellation of the registration will forfeit the payment in full. Refunds will not be issued.

The Signs of the End We look at all the calamities and upheaval sweeping the world. Worldwide wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, erupting volcanoes, wars, terrorist attacks, famines, and violence wreaking havoc, devastating families, communities, and countries. Signs in the sky are getting people’s attention — blood red moons, total solar eclipse, and the unusual alignment of the stars and planets — are causing many people to ask questions like: “What’s going on?” “Is this the judgment of God?” While I hesitate to say these things are the judgment of God, I do believe that Jesus said these things would be signs of the end times and his soon return. “And there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud
1. Is the book of Simeon in the Old or New Testament or neither? 2. Whose first chapter begins, "Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab"? Exodus, 2 Kings, Job, Proverbs 3. From Luke 1, what
with great power and great glory.” (Luke 21:2527) Don’t ignore or hide your head in the sand, but look, learn, and lean on Jesus when you see these things begin to happen. LOOK UP! When we begin to see these signs of the end times Jesus said to look up. Don’t look down in depression or fear. “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws nigh.” (Luke 21:28) For believers in Jesus there is the blessed hope of salvation and eternity in heaven to look forward to. Are you looking up in anticipation of the Savior’s return? (Hebrews 9:28) LOOK AT THE FIG TREE! Jesus urged us to look at the fig tree as a sign of his return. The fig tree in scripture is a symbol of Israel. For centuries Israel was scattered throughout the world. But God brought them back to the land
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
and, in 1948, Israel became a nation again. “Behold the fig tree and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, you see and know . . . that summer is now nigh at hand . . . When you see these things . . . know the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” (Luke 21:29-33) Israel is a central focus of God’s prophetic timetable. LOOK INWARD! Are you ready to meet God when Jesus returns? “And take heed to your selves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and cares of this life and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” (Luke 21:34-35) Jesus taught that multitudes will be surprised at his coming and unprepared. They will be left behind when the saints are caught up to heaven. They will go through tribulations that are coming upon the earth. John tells how to be ready at Christ’s appearing. “And everyman that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.” (I John 3:2-3; 1:9) LOOK AT YOUR ESCAPE PLAN! The
gospel is more than an escape plan, it is a personal relationship with the living God. But Jesus provides an escape from the wrath of God to come on the face of the earth, on those who refuse to accept the Son of God as Savior and Lord. Our son Chip and his son Elijah are firefighters. They always wear protective gear and have an escape plan before going into a burning fire. Jesus gave this plan and promise, “Watch you therefore and pray always, that you may b e accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass . . . “(Luke 21:36) LOOK OUTWARD! Multitudes of people came early to the temple to hear Jesus. Jesus cared for them and taught them. (Luke 21:37-38) Jesus urged his followers to look unto the ripened harvest of souls who need Jesus. (John 4:3436) It’s harvest time. What’s going on throughout the world? These are signs signaling Jesus’ soon return. Are you ready? “Look up for your redemption draws nigh!” Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

by Samantha Weaver • It was American author and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich who made the following sage observation: "No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots." • Coke has the honor of being the first soft drink in space. Members of the Space Shuttle
Challenger drank the beverage from a specially designed "CocaCola Space Can." • Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was one tough son of a gun. In his youth, his fighting prowess won him fame as a national hero for defeating the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 — and he never slowed
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good time for the usually outspoken Lamb to be a bit more discreet. You still can get your point across, but do it in a way less likely to turn off a potential supporter. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Good news: All that hard work you put in is beginning to pay off. But you need to watch that tendency to insist on doing things your way or no way. Be a bit more flexible. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to delay making a decision on the future of a long-standing relationship until you check out some heretofore hidden details that are just now beginning to emerge. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your reluctance to compromise on an important issue could backfire without more facts to support your position. Weigh your options carefully before making your next move. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time for ambitious Leos or Leonas to shift from planning their next move to actually doing it. Your communication skills help persuade others to join you. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Relationships -- personal or professional -- present new challenges. Be careful not to let a sudden surge of stubbornness influence how you choose to deal with them. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might need more facts before you can decide on a possible career

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re respected by most people for your direct, no-nonsense approach to the issues. But be careful you don’t replace honest skepticism with stinging sarcasm. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A newly emerging situation could require a good deal of attention and some difficult decisionmaking. However, close friends will help you see it through. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family matters need attention. Check things out carefully. There still might be unresolved tensions that could hinder your efforts to repair damaged relationships. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Of course you deserve to indulge yourself in something special. But for now, tuck that bit of mad money away. You’ll need it to help with a looming cash crunch. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A temporary setback in your financial situation is eased by changing some of your plans. You’ll be able to ride it out quite well until the tide turns back in your favor. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for understanding people’s needs.
