ago, I had five totally indoor kitties. And like his cats, mine loved to perch on the windowsill. I'd never bothered to keep up with all of their shots, because they never went outside and so wouldn't be exposed to other cats — so why deal with the expense?

You can guess what happened: The window s c re e n p opp e d out somehow, and my cat "Woody" fell out into our side yard. Once we discovered the "escape," we got him back into the house, but sadly, it was not fast

enough. As time went by I noticed all of my cats were showing signs of illness, so I made an appointment with the veterinarian. Sadly, Woody never made it; he passed away the day before the appointment. All of my surviving cats were diagnosed with feline leukemia.

Because of my insistence on being cheap, I shortened all of my cats' lives.

If they had been vaccinated regularly, they likely would never have gotten sick even if they accidentally escaped the house.

That's a fact I can never, ever change. Please don't think like I did. Protect your family and get all of their vaccinations. — Dee in Palmyra, New York DEAR DEE: Thank you for sharing such a painful experience. I hope your story will help others realize just how much they have to lose by not vaccinating their indoor cats against feline leukemia, feline immunodeficiency virus, rabies and other diseases. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARE YOU READY FOR PET OWNERSHIP? There is an emotional component of becoming a pet owner, but finances also need to be considered. Pet ownership may be impractical for those who are barely making ends meet.

The ASPCA says that the first-year cost of pet ownership can exceed $1,000.

Annual pet expenses include food, medical exams, litter, a license, toys, treats, and any unexpected

medical costs resulting from illness. Flea and tick prevention, training, professional grooming, and boarding can drive up costs even further. The animal adoption site PetFinder suggests potential pet parents do their homework to determine the feasibility of getting a pet by examining potential costs and how such costs fit into their budgets.

GIVE THANKS FOR GOOD HEALTH BY DONATING BLOOD THIS HOLIDAY SEASON The American Red Cross encourages people to share their good health this holiday season by donating blood for patients in need.

Mike Healey’s son was born prematurely, weighing 3 pounds, and immediately needed blood. “I gave blood the next day and have done it 56 times since then,” he said.

Though Healey’s son spent his first 49 days of life in the neonatal intensive care unit, he has thrived and is now a healthy, 10-year-old little league baseball player. “I will never forget whoever selflessly gave blood for my son.”

A decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. However, patients don’t get a holiday break from needing lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

By giving blood or platelets, donors may give patients more time – and more holidays – with loved ones. Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1800-733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities Nov. 16-30 are listed below.

Jefferson County Nov. 17, 1:30 p.m. 6:30 p.m., Times Square Mall, 42nd Street and Broadway, Mt. Vernon.

Nov. 18, 10:30 a.m. 3:30 p.m., Times Square Mall, 42nd Street and Broadway, Mt. Vernon.

Nov. 29, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m., Bluford Ruritan Club, 814 6th Street, Bluford.

Washington County Nov. 21, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., St. Barbara Parish, 305 North Front Street, PO Box 106, Okawville.

Nov. 27, 2 p.m. - 7 p.m., St. Anthony Catholic Church, 6101 St. Anthony

Church Road, Lively Grove.

Nov. 30, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Ashley Fire Department, 115 East Madison Street, Ashley.

To donate blood simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. 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 and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from a computer or mobile device. 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.

On November 3, eleven local residents from four different counties compl e te d t he i r Maste r Naturalist training at CaseHalstead Library in Carlyle.

The new grads will be considered interns until they have completed their first 60 hours of volunteer service through the Master Naturalist program. At that time they will join the ranks of the other 26 active Master Naturalists in Bond, Clinton, Jefferson, Marion and Washington Counties.

New graduates from

Jefferson County include Eric Gockel, and Gordon Wurth.

The Master Naturalist program is still relatively new to Extension, with this being just the fourth time training has been offered.

The training program provides science-based educational opportunities that connect people with nature and help them become engaged environmental stewards. Topics covered during the training classes cover a wide range of areas including: botany, environ-

mental ethics, archeology, climate, forestry, grassland ecology, geology, prairies, mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and aquatic systems.

The sessions also include hands on activities and field trips.

Master Naturalists share natural resource information with the public and assist with conservation and restoration activities in their home communities.

The next Master Naturalist training will be offered in the fall of 2018.

2018 ILLINOIS FISHING TOURNAMENT APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED BY IDNR GIFT CARDS: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW Fishing tournament organizers can begin applying for 2018 tournament permits on November 1, 2017.

Applications can be submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources through IDNR fishing tournament online accounts and through the I Fish Illinois website at https://www.ifishillinois. org/tournament/index.php.

Catch results from 2017 tournaments must be

entered before fishing clubs and tournament trails will be allowed to request tournament dates for 2018.

Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.

“The Illinois DNR is grateful for the compliance that our tournament anglers have shown with this process of online tournament applications and reporting,” said Dan Stephenson, fisheries chief for the IDNR. “We also

salute the staff at the Illinois Natural History Survey, which oversees the tournament permit system.”

Tournament fishing is extremely popular in Illinois. For 2017, nearly 3,000 applications for fishing tournaments were received. The catch data submitted by tournament organizers is vital information needed for the management of the waters they fish.

VETERANS PROGRAM ON THE BERLIN WALL On Saturday, November 11 at 2:00 p.m. in the Schweinfurth Museum at the Historical Village Chris Lyons will offer a unique, personal perspective on the fall of the Berlin Wall.

One of the lesser-known roles of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Office involves gift cards.

Some unused gift cards after a certain period of time are considered unclaimed property. As such, the value of these cards is surrendered to the treasurer’s office.

There is big money in these cards. Barron’s reports that shoppers purchased $130 billion in gift cards in 2015. However, the surrendering of these cards to the treasurer’s office means that someone has been deprived of their use. That is why the Treasurer’s Office offers the following advice: • Know that the two most common types of cards are retail gift cards and bank gift cards. Retail gift cards only are redeemable at the specific retailer or restaurant that issued the card. Bank gift cards, which carry a payment network

such as American Express or Visa, can be used at any location that accepts that specific brand.

• Resist the urge to save the card for a rainy day.

Doing so may increase the likelihood that some of the card’s value will be consumed by fees. Instead, use the card and set aside an equal amount of cash for a rainy day.

• For example, consider that while money on a typical gift card cannot expire for at least five years, depending upon the circumstances, inactivity fees can begin in as little as 12 months. Therefore, it is possible that inactivity fees could consume the cash value of a card before the five year window has expired.

• When purchasing a gift card, buy from a known and trusted source. Be wary of online auction sites.

Read the fine print to de-

termine if there are shipping or handling fees.

• Consider the company’s location and reputation before purchasing. A retail gift card for someone who does not live near a store’s location might not be convenient. Also, a store that files for bankruptcy or goes out-of-business might not accept a gift card.

• Treat a gift card like cash. If lost or stolen, report it to law enforcement.

Contact the card’s issuer to determine if a replacement card is possible and at what cost.

Today, the state treasurer’s office holds more than $2 billion in unclaimed property. Because our records are updated twice each year, we encourage residents to frequently check the I-Cash database, which can be found here or at www.illinoistreasurer. gov.

Odd-Shaped Objects Sometimes Part of Set Strange antiques and collectibles with mysterious shapes and unknown purposes sometimes are part of a larger piece. Mysterious wooden wheels with wooden spokes and about a 45-inch diameter were popular in the 1950s. They were hung on a wall as a decoration or put flat in a flowerbed. Each section between the spokes was planted with a different herb or flower. The wheels were copied in giftware catalogs but were never identified as part of a "walking" spinning wheel used to spin woolen yarn.

A curved "bowl" shaped

like part of the border of a circle is sometimes sold at an antique shop. The bowl usually is made by important porcelain companies and it seems to be a bargain.

It is part of a set of four crescent-shaped bowls and one round bowl that fit together to make a circle. The curved bowls held foods like olives, pickles and sauces or several types of vegetables with sauce in the round center bowl. Most sets were made with the five bowls and a lid for the center piece. Once a piece broke, the set couldn't be used. But the pieces still were attractive when used alone.

I can't thank those enough that have called, stopped by, sent letters or emails, and folks that have stopped me on the street. I have been touched by all the comments, especially my longtime followers that I consider friends. I was especially touched by a lovely lady that ended her comments by saying, "After a rest (I pray peace for you at this crossroad) may you continue to write your judicious insights.

We all need guidance; you've got the lamp."

As I take this break, I've listened to and read very little in the political world, just enough to keep abreast of the latest news. It's simply in my blood, because I so love my country. I was especially disheartened again on Friday morning when I saw that Bergdahl got off, in my opinion, for desertion in Afghanistan. The liberal judge sentenced him to a

Dear Cathy, I was sorry to read that you were not going to be writing your column. I understand why you probably need a break, with all the upstate political idiots. It is hard to get people to vote Mike Madigan and his bunch out when he is giving all the loafers and nonworkers a free paycheck.

I hope you have seen the new ad the Republicans have run with all the governors in the surrounding states thanking Mike Madigan for running people and businesses out of Illinois and helping their economy. That is really something when governors will say things like that about other governors.

It probably won't do any good but it is correct. Can't get good information from any other paper.

Best wishes for your future, whatever you do. May

God bless you and your family always.

Your loyal reader, Kenneth Robinson _________________ Dear Editor, The republicans led by Newt Gingrich did it to Bill Clinton. The democrats did it to George W. Bush. The republicans did it to Barack Obama. Now, backed by the Hollywood crowd and talk show hosts, the democrats are doing it to Donald Trump. The 'other' party's focus is on finding ways to discredit and to sabotage whomever is president; refusing to acknowledge anything that is good and dwelling on all things negative.

Instead of endeavoring to find common ground to work for positive results, the opposition attempts subterfuge to bring down whomever may be president. The Democratic and Republican

$10,000 fine and a dishonorable discharge and said his five years in captivity in the Taliban's hands was enough punishment. I found myself again siding with our President when he called for nothing short of execution.

I'll end this short column by thanking our beloved veterans who have given so much for our freedom. God bless our military and veterans.

Parties in Washington, D.C. are akin to the two gangs in the movie "West Side Story."

They could not get along!

Their zealous desire was to decimate the other.

The best thing for the United States would be to get the liberal-left and conservative-right out of government. Put persons in office who are more interested in the common good for all citizens, instead of the destruction of their opponents.

The Legislature was not in session during the week.

That means you weren’t hit with another tax hike. While I am joking a bit with these two first sentences the discouraging truth is burdensome taxes are hurting Illinois.

Meanwhile, state lawmakers return to Springfield Nov.

7 for the final days of fall veto session. We are expected to take up several pieces of new legislation, including firearm regulation, and possibly vote on other legislation vetoed by the Governor.

Taxed Enough Already I led off this column wanting to make a point,

“tongue-in-cheek,” about taxes. The Legislature’s preoccupation with tax increases is hurting Illinois and Illinoisans. You’ve been subject to two major income

Politics & Opinions continues on page 7

TAXES AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT (Continued from page 6)

tax rate hikes in the last six years. It hasn’t helped Illinois’ bottom line.

Excessive taxation, spurred by government’s unrelenting determination to grow and overspend, is taking a huge toll on business expansion and job creation.

As I previously reported here, the non-partisan Tax Foundation’s 2018 State Business Tax Climate report ranked Illinois 29th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia for tax burden.

We slipped six positions from the previous year. The Foundation ranks Illinois 36 for corporate taxes, 35 for sales taxes, 42 for the Unemployment Insurance Tax, and 45 for property taxes. This is bad news for employers. It’s a roadblock to growing a business and job creation.

A week ago in this column, I told you about a report by the Illinois Policy Institute (IPI) that shows Illinoisans experience the largest loss of income (31.1%) to income and property taxes of any of our surrounding states. Is it any wonder that Illinois continues to trail its neighbors on job creation?

Actually, we are seeing job losses, according to IPI. The Institute recently reported, “The September metro jobs report follows statewide numbers that showed one of the worst months for payroll jobs since the Great Recession.â€?  Citing information from the Illinois Department of Employment Security, IPI adds, “Illinois businesses lost jobs in eight metro areas, with the largest losses coming in Danville‌ Elgin‌Rockford‌and Champaign.â€?

Their report does indicate job increases in six metro

areas, including Kankakee, the Carbondale-Marion area, and Bloomington.

And, the report also indicates that more than 11,000 jobs were added to the Chicago-Nap er villeArlington Heights Metro, but that raises an interesting observation by IPI: “Without those Chicago-area gains, the state would have suffered twice as much job loss in September‌The data is indicative of a growing divide between the Chicago area supported by big business and a highly skilled population and the rest of the state.

While Illinois has been successful at keeping large businesses and carving out special deals for select companies, it has forgotten that small businesses and entrepreneurs create the most jobs.�

The answer to our job creation and economy problems is not more, unaffordable government. We have enough proof that higher taxes, coupled with overregulation, and bloated government, stifles opportunity and prosperity for Illinois citizens and businesses. Â Second Week of Veto The second and last week of the fall Veto Session starts Tuesday, Nov. 4. There are a number of issues, in bill form, positioned for possible action. Those issues include licensing for medical personnel, nursing home regulations, the environment and the Second Amendment. Â They Never Give Up The supporters of restricting our gun rights never give up. The recent mass shooting in Las Vegas was a despicable act, but no one has offered any realistic proposal that would have prevented that heinous act by an individual clearly bent on killing and maiming as many people as possible. Yet, new anti-gun legislation has been filed at the State Capitol. One more law means nothing to criminals

7

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area or those with the intent to commit an evil act. The recent terrorist attack in New York City that killed eight and wounded 12 pedestrians is proof. It wasn’t by firearm. It was a rented truck. Poised for possible Veto Session action is legislation that would impose new regulations, higher fees, and more government red tape on the sale and ownership of firearms. These proposals would make it more costly to own and possess firearms and make it more difficult for gun shops to operate and stay in business. Other proposals would ban some firearm accessories while others could put current law-abiding citizens in a position of violating laws with felony penalties because of the firearms and equipment they own.

Taking away our ability to protect ourselves and our families — with more firearm restrictions — benefits criminals and harms us.

We have an inherent right to self-defense. It is our duty and obligation to protect our lives, our families and our property. The erosion of any of our unalienable rights, as outlined in the Bill of Rights, is an erosion of all of our rights. They are rights granted to us by the Creator, not the government and are therefore not the government’s to give or take away.

I will stand against any attempt to restrict and/or penalize firearm ownership by law-abiding citizens.  Notable Quotable “If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy.� — Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826); 3rd President of the United States; Letter to Thomas Cooper, November 29, 1802 — Note: The quote is as it appears in the Cooper letter with the spelling of the period.

• On Nov. 8, 1895, in his lab in Germany, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen becomes the first person to observe X-rays while testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass. Rontgen received numerous accolades for his work, including the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901. • On Nov. 9, 1938, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jews in Germany and Austria. The violence was dubb e d "Kristallnacht," or "Night of Broken Glass," for the countless smashed windows of 7,500 Jewish-owned establishments. Some 100 Jews died, and hundreds of synagogues and homes were damaged. • On Nov. 7, 1944, Franklin Roosevelt is re-elected president of the United States for a record third time, defeating Thomas Dewey, the governor of New York, and becoming the only president in history to win a fourth term in office. • On Nov. 10, 1964,

Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara says that the United States has no plans to send combat troops into Vietnam. By 1969, more than 500,000 American troops were in South Vietnam. • On Nov. 6, 1977, the Toccoa Falls Dam in Georgia bursts, and the resulting flash flood kills 39 people. The day before, a volunteer fireman had inspected the 100-yearold Earthen dam above the

falls and found everything in order. • On Nov. 12, 1980, the Ua.S. planetar y probe Voyager 1 edges within 77,000 miles of Saturn, sending back 30,000 images that show hundreds of rings encircling the planet. Voyager 1, now in interstellar space, contains a disk featuring natural and manmade sounds of Earth. • On Nov. 11, 2000, a cable car taking skiers to a glacier in Austria catches fire as it passes through a mountain tunnel; 156 people die. Only 11 people survived the fire, which was caused by an illegal space heater in the driver's cabin. Š 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

When the round was over, the fans were literally screaming and on their feet applauding so wildly it sounded like Beatlemania.

Probably the best fight ever, and the first round was an instant classic.

Greatest Rounds in Boxing History Every special fight has a special round. "A Sporting View" assembled some of the best from history:

By Chris Richcreek

Dempsey vs. Firpo — Round 1 Before Jack Dempsey went out of his corner, his cornerman told him that he had bet his share of the purse on a first-round k no ckout. Incens e d, Dempsey went out like a crazed lunatic, throwing bombs and knocking Luis Firpo all over the ring. To see the "Manassa Mauler" punch was an incredible sight. He could dance and move, but when he threw a punch, he would rear his arm all the way back and launch it like a howitzer, swinging from his heels with vicious intentions.

Firpo was game, and knocked Dempsey through the ropes late in the round.

Dempsey would go on to win in two, but he lost his share of the purse.

Many years later, after the two had retired, Dempsey met up with Firpo in Argentina, where Firpo handed him an envelope with instructions to open it after he boarded his flight home to New York.

Dempsey opened the envelope to find $20,000 in cash.

How great is that?

Hagler vs. Hearns — Round 1 Marvin Hagler had a chip on his shoulder and a cut over his eye by the middle of one of the most celebrated rounds in history. Thomas Hearns had been predicting a knockout and at one point had the Vegas odds in his favor.

LaMotta vs. Robinson VI — Round 11 They called Jake LaMotta "Raging Bull" for a reason: He constantly charged forward. He was a brawler in every sense of the word; he had a killer left hook and a granite chin. In 109 fights, the man never went down.

Sugar Ray Robinson had never lost a professional fight until he met LaMotta, with LaMotta winning on points in their second meeting. Sugar Ray was every bit the guy you've heard so much about — he truly was the greatest pound-for-pound fighter ever.

In their famed "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" in Chicago, the 11th round stands out for me. They traded punches the entire time, and LaMotta kept charging. Robinson would win by TKO two rounds later. In the words of LaMotta, "We fought so much I felt like we were married."

Ali vs. Foreman — Round 8 George Foreman had destroyed Joe Frazier twice, and he was the angriest, scariest guy you ever saw when he met Ali in "The Rumble in the Jungle." Ali set the specifications for the fight, demanding a larger ring and elastic ropes that allowed him to basically lounge against them as Foreman banged away in what is now referred to as "the rope a dope." By the 8th round, Foreman had nothing left, and Ali put together a championship flurry that floored Foreman to regain his title.

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Encountering God The life of Moses was remarkable. He was born into slavery but raised in a palace. When Moses came of age, he killed an Egyptian, was misunderstood and rejected by his own people the Jews, and ran for his life into the desert wastelands. For 40 years he herded sheep in the backside of the desert.

One ordinary day Moses encountered God at a burning bush that changed his ordinary life into an extraordinar y adventure of knowing and pursuing the presence of God. In Exodus 3 we can gain insight from Moses’ burning bush encounter with God that can change our life into an abundant life of knowing and pursuing the presence of God. LOOK FOR GOD IN THE ORDINARY. “Now Moses was tending the flock . . . and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and to Horeb, the Mountain of God.” (Exodus 3:1) In the desert you are separated from distractions.

It’s a hot, dry place. In the desert, Moses saw a burning bush. “There the angel of the Lord appeared to him . . . Moses

saw that though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up . . . When the Lord saw that he had gone to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses, Moses.’”

(Exodus 3:3-4) Moses saw ordinary bushes every day, but this bush was not ordinary. Many p eople miss Jesus because they are only looking for the ordinary.

David was enabled to kill the giant with an ordinary slingshot.

Moses had an ordinary shepherd’s staff that God made extraordinary.

Moses could have walked by the bush. God was waiting to see if he would look and draw near. “Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you.” (James 4:8) Centuries later, Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Tr a n s f i g u r a t i o n .

(Matthew 17) But the disciples missed seeing who Jesus was until God spoke from heaven revealing the Son of God. Seeing Jesus makes all

the difference.

LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF GOD. God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush. Moses chose to listen. “’Here I am ,’ Mo s e s s ai d.”

(Exodus 3:4) Later the boy Samuel heard the voice of God speaking to him. That God encounter called Samuel to be a powerful prophet of God. Several years ago, a great violinist, Joshua Bell, decided to dress as a homeless man and perform for tips in a Washington, DC subway station. People rushed by. A few dropped coins in his violin case. Many heard the music as they rushed by, but only a few stopped to listen. It’s easy to write off the ordinary and overlook what’s right in front of us. In the desert you can hear God if you will slow down, look, and listen with a “hearing ear.” God spoke from heaven, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” (Matthew 17:5) LO O SE YOU R S A N DA L S F R O M YOUR FEET. God told Moses not to come any closer to the burning bush, but to loose his sandals from his feet, “For the place you are

standing is holy ground.”

(Exodus 3:5) God is holy. A true encounter with God will require repentance from sin.

John the Baptist came out of the desert preaching the gospel of repentance. (Matthew 3:1-6) LO CATE GOD’S PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE. God called Moses to go back to Egypt and lead his people out of slavery into the promised land.

An encounter with God will help you locate and develop God’s call on your life. (Jeremiah 29:11-13) LEARN OF JESUS. Moses asked God what his name was. God revealed himself as the “I AM.” (Exodus 3:13-15) What a surprising name.

In the gospel of John, Jesus revealed himself as 7 great I AMs. A true encounter with God will reveal Jesus. While praying one day, I was drawn to a poster on the wall that said. “JESUS . . . MOR E T HA N ENOUGH.” (Acts 17:25) Follow the example of Moses at the burning bush and you will have a life-changing God encounter.

Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops.

The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed

building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950.

What about the poppies?

One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers.

The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free.

The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason.

A field of poppies has come to symbolize the soldiers who lost their lives while fighting in battle.

trated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface.

John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled "In Flanders Fields." After the poem was published, it rec e ive d i nte r nat i ona l acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle.

Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed.

Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband's medals.

Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers' efforts to secure freedom.

DID YOU KNOW?

THE ORIGINS OF VETERANS DAY

T

he origins of Veterans Day can be traced to the ending of World War I nearly a century ago. Known at the time as “The Great War,” World War I officially

ended on June 28, 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in France. But the fighting had actually ended seven months earlier when an armistice between the

Allies and Germany went into effect on November 11, 1 9 1 8 . T h e f o l l ow i n g November United States President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 “Armistice Day” in honor of the cessation of the hostilities, and the day became a federal holiday in 1938. That

act was amended in 1954 after veterans service organizations, in recognition of the efforts of soldiers who fought in World War II, asked that the day be renamed “Veterans Day” so it honored all soldiers and not just those who fought in World War I.

Veterans Day is the perfect time to pay your respects to the soldiers who sacrificed so much for you and your country.

They may not have known us, but they fought for us. They fought for our freedom.

They fought for our rights.

Honor, respect and thank them forever.

by Samantha Weaver • It was 20th-century American author and college professor David Foster Wallace who made the following sage observation: "There is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some diehard's vote."

• Those who study such things say that many ancient Greeks carried

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project. But be careful you don’t lose patience with those who are still not ready to act.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives. Explain your intentions and ask for their advice.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make. Colleagues might back you up on this, but it’s the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s co-workers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrr-suasion will prove to be more effective.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation. Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While you’re to be admired for how you handled recent workplace

problems, be careful not to react the same way to a new situation until all the facts are in.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Rely on your keen instincts as well as the facts at hand when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient.

Take things one step at a time as you work through it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions. However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear. Don’t reject them without checking them out.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts.

Even sure-footed Goats need to know where they’ll land before leaping off a mountain path.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Appearances can be deceiving.

You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you’ll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones by week’s end.

you might find yourself doing busywork — trying to look as if you're working when, in fact, you're just shuffling papers or otherwise avoiding productivity.

Well, there's a word for that: fudgel. Fudgeling may not be an approved workplace activity, but it's undeniably a part of the American workplace.

• If you look closely at the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's famed masterwork, you might notice that the famously enigmatic subject is entirely lacking in eyebrows.

• It may not come as a surprise that when scorpions mate, it's a rather violent affair. When the act is completed, the female

stings her partner to death, then eats him.

• In 1993, voters in San Francisco voted on a ballot measure to determine whether police officer Bob Geary would be allowed to walk his neighborhood beat while carrying his ventriloquist's dummy, known as Brendan O'Smarty. The measure passed, and O'Smarty remained on the job.
