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."
By Chris Richcreek
Wednesday, November 8, 2017 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.
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.
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. When his brother taunted him on the way to the ring, Hagler tossed his Mark Vasto is a veteran fight plan and charged sportswriter who lives in Hearns with the fury of a New Jersey. guy who never felt he got the respect he deserved. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Encountering God
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 Transfiguration. (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,’ Moses said.� (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
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 extraordinary 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 people miss Jesus because they are only looking for the ordinary. David was enabled to kill the giant with an ordinary slingshot. Moses

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area 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) LOOSE YOUR SANDALS FROM 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) LOCATE 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 . . . MORE THAN ENOUGH.� (Acts 17:25) Follow the example of Moses at the burning bush and you will have a life-changing God encounter. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

able to each donor. A blood donation truly is a “gift of life” that a healthy individual can give to others in their community who are sick or injured. In one hour’s time, a person can donate one unit of blood that can be separated into four individual com-
ponents that could help save multiple lives. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for p at ients. 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. For more information, call 545-3321.

The aromas coming from the kitchen start now and last through New Year's, from turkey and dressing to cookies and fancy desserts. Southern Cooking will be split into three parts over the next three weeks, starting with this week's main dishes, moving on to side dishes next week, and followed by desserts the third week, so enjoy!

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 (1-800733-2767). Upcoming blood donation opportunities Nov. 16-30 are listed below. Clinton County Nov. 21, 3 p.m. - 7 p.m., American Legion Hall, 391 Louis Street, Beckemeyer.

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.

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.

God bless our military and veterans.

SHIMKUS ANNOUNCES USDA GRANT AWARDED TO ODIN TOWNSHIP C on g re s s m a n Jo h n Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) announced recently that Odin Township was awarded a USDA Rural Development grant of $23,300. The funds will be used to purchase a Road Grader for the Township of Odin. This Road Grader will replace the Township's existing equip-
ment that is in disrepair, and it will be used to plow snow in the winter as well as repair gravel roads for safe passage throughout the Township. The Township contributed $26,700 for a total project cost of $50,000.    “I congratulate Odin Township on being awarded funds for this project,�
Shimkus said. “Grants from the USDA make necessary development and public safety projects possible for rural communities. My office can assist with rural development grants as well as any other federal grant program application.�

A BIG DAY FOR TAX REFORM C ong ressman John Shimkus (R, Illinois-15) praised the introduction of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which will bring much needed reforms to the tax code for the first time in more than 30 years. “Today is a big day,” Shimkus said. “My friend, Chairman Kevin Brady (R, Texas-8), and his Ways and Means Committee have put together a simpler, fairer, flatter tax code that will put more money in my constituents’ pockets and support a growing, thriving economy for all Americans.” The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act maintains the 39.6 percent top rate for highincome Americans, but lowers rates and simplifies tax brackets for low- and middle-income families. By nearly doubling the standard deduction, from $6,350 to $12,000 for individuals and $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples, the bill will shield twice as much of an individual or family’s annual earnings from federal taxes. “Almost 80 percent of my district takes the standard deduction,” Shimkus said. “Under this new plan, that number will only go up. This means that my constituents will keep more of their hard-earned paychecks, and will be able to easily file their taxes themselves, instead of having to hire a tax professional.” In addition, for thousands of Illinois farmers and small businesses, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides relief from the “Death Tax” by immediately doubling the current exemption, and ultimately repealing this
misguided penalty within six years. The bill allows businesses to immediately write off the full cost of new equipment, and protects the ability of small businesses to write off the interest on loans. Lastly, corporate taxes under the bill would fall from 35 percent (the highest rate in the industrialized world) to 20 percent, and special-interest loopholes and incentives that reward companies for sending jobs overseas are eliminated. The Ways and Means Committee has scheduled a markup of the bill for November 6, 2017. More information and the full text of the bill can be found at fairandsimple. gop. Real World Examples from the Office of the Speaker: Family of Four Making $59,000 Per Year Steve and Melinda have two children in middle school and are living secure middle-class life—but budgets are tight. With tax reform, they’ll get some much-needed breathing room financially. As a result of lower tax rates, a significantly larger standard deduction, and an enhanced Child Tax Credit and Family Flexibility Credit, Steve and Melinda will see their total tax bill drop from $1,582 to only $400. That’s a tax cut of $1,182 they can use for whatever is important to them, whether it’s paying bills, purchasing a new refrigerator, or putting away savings for the future.
Single Mother Making $30,000 Per Year Cindy has a fulfilling job and a promising career path as an assistant manager at a local restaurant. She works hard to support herself and her 11-year-old daughter, but most days Cindy feels like she’s barely getting by much less getting ahead. With the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, relief is in sight. Come Tax Day, Cindy will receive a tax refund of more than $1,000 as a result of the bill’s lower tax rates, larger Child Tax Credit, and Family Flexibility Credit. This is more than $700 larger than the refund she receives today, offering a more meaningful reward for her hard work as she raises her daughter and pursues her own professional aspirations. Firefighter Making $48,000 Per Year Alan is a young firefighter in the community he has called home his entire life. He enjoys the job and has chosen it as his profession just like his father and grandfather did before him. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will allow him to see even greater reward for his hard and selfless work. Under this legislation, Alan will pay a top marginal tax rate of just 12% instead of the 25% top rate he pays today. Additionally, he’ll see nearly double the amount of his paycheck protected from taxes because the bill significantly increases the individual standard deduction from $6,350 today to $12,000. In the end, Alan will see his total tax bill go down from $5,173 currently to just $3,872—a total tax cut of $1,301.

K
Dear Veterans, We at the Centralia Masonic Lodge stand at a ention, with a moment of silence, to recognize our military veterans, those that are with us and those that have passed. We are proud of you and the country you have made be er by your service. We recognize the sacrifices you have made, both large and small, and some the ultimate sacrifice. We hope that all that read this will put an arm around a veteran, shake his hand, and with deep appreciation say, “THANK YOU.”
askaskia College is pleased to host its 16th annual “Enduring Freedom” Veterans Day Celebration on Monday, November 13 on KC’s main campus. Kaskaskia College is proud to honor the service of those men and women who have given their time and energy in the service of our country. The morning will feature a
free biscuits and gravy breakfast in the College’s Student Center from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for veterans and their guests.

HOW TO HELP VETERANS IN NEED
M
illions of men and women serve in the military and make the sacrifices that such service requires. Risking their lives to serve their countries, veterans sometimes endure mental and physical trauma, returning home to face uphill battles as they deal with their injuries.

tention. Learning that their efforts and sacrifices are recognized and appreciated by the ordinary citizens they protect can make a world of difference to veterans as they recover from their injuries. Men, women and children who want to help veterans in need can do so in various ways. • Visit a veterans hospital. Contact a local veterans’ hospital to inquire about their volunteer programs. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs notes that each year more than 75,000 volunteers spend more than 11 million hours in service to America’s veterans. Visiting veterans at the hospital to hear their stories can lift their spirits and aid in their recoveries. In addition, veterans’ hospitals may have volunteer opportunities that make it easier for hos-

may be unable to do their own grocery shopping or maintain their homes. If a neighbor or nearby veteran is facing such hurdles, offer to do his or her shopping or mow his or her lawn. Such tasks won’t take much time but can make a world of difference to veterans. • Offer professional services free of charge. Professionals who want to help veterans can offer their services free of charge. Accountants can offer to prepare veterans’ tax returns for free, while attorneys can provide legal advice to veterans who need it. Contractors can help disabled veterans by offering to make alterations to their homes for free or at cost. • Employ social media to help local veterans. Many people who want to help local veterans might not be able to do so more than one day per week. But some veterans may require daily assistance. Men and women can start a locallybased Facebook group for fellow members of their community who want to pitch in to help local veterans. Such a group can make it easier to share information and arrange help for veterans in need. Many veterans return home from serving overseas in need of help. Offering such help can improve veterans’ lives while letting them know their efforts and sacrifices are appreciated.

HOW TO SHOW APPRECIATION FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL
M
ilitary personnel are unsung heroes whose sacrifices for their country make it possible for hundreds of millions of people to enjoy freedoms that many people across the globe do not have. In recognition of those sacrifices, many people want to show their appreciation to both active and retired serv i c e m e n a n d w om e n . Fortunately, there are many ways to do just that. Pitch in at Home According to the United States Department of Defense, the United States military currently deploys active duty personnel in nearly 150 countries. Many of those troops are separated from their families for months at a time, and that separation can make things difficult for their loved ones back home. If a neighbor’s spouse is deployed overseas, offer to help around the house. Whether it’s mowing their lawn, dropping their kids off at school or inviting the whole family over for dinner one night each week, such gestures can go a long way toward easing the burden faced by spouses of deployed military personnel. Send Gifts to Active Personnel Servicemen and women on active duty do not enjoy many of the luxuries that tend to be taken for granted back home. But men and women who want to show their appreciation can send care packages to
active personnel serving overseas. An organization such as Operation Gratitude (operationgratitude.com), which to date has sent nearly 1.3 million care packages to active personnel, sends care packages filled with snacks, entertainment, personal hygiene products and handmade items. This provides active personnel a taste of home while also letting them know their extraordinary efforts are appreciated and not forgotten. Volunteer at a Veterans Hospital Unfortunately, many servicemen and women return home from their deployments with injuries or health conditions that require long-term care. By volunteering at veteran hospitals, men and women can help veterans overcome their injuries and provide much-needed help to staff at hospitals that could use a helping hand. Visit volunteer.va.gov for more information. Make a Financial Donation For those who want to support servicemen and women but don’t have much free time to do so, financial donations can go a long way toward improving the quality of life of active and retired military personnel. Many programs work with veterans to improve their quality of life, and such organizations rely heavily on financial donations to make their missions a reality. The Wounded Warrior

Project (woundedwarriorproject.org), for example, works to honor and empower servicemen and women who incurred physical or mental injuries or illnesses on or after September 11, 2001. The organization relies on the generosity of individuals who want to help wounded military personnel overcome their injuries and illnesses. Based on audited financial statements
of the 2014 fiscal ending on September 30, 2014, 80.6 percent of total expenditures went to services and programs catering to wounded military personnel and their families, assuring prospective donors that their donations will go toward helping those in need. There are many ways that civilians can express their gratitude to active and retired military personnel.

orld War II veterans are truly a dying breed. According to the Veterans Administration, approximately 492 World War II veterans die every day. Unfortunately, with these men and women die the stories and accounts that have never been written down, captured on film or told to grandchildren. As a result, World War II and the “greatest generation” that lived it, will soon seem as distant to today's young people as the Civil War is to my generation. But to those lives it has touched, directly or indirectly through loved ones, it will remain as large as life. My grandfather, Jerry Pinkowski, (1915-1993) was 26 years old when America entered World War II. He was considered 'unfit for service' due to a childhood injury to his arm that healed incorrectly. But with the Army’s need for personnel being what it was at the time, they accepted him along with many other “limited” service men. He served as a mechanic in the 347th Ordnance Depot

Company which was eventually attached to General George S. Patton’s famous Third Army. Although Grandpa got the “express tour” of Europe while chasing after Patton’s racing armored columns, he still found time to take photographs. Lots of them! Unfortunately, it was only through these photos that I was able to learn much of the details of my Grandpa’s service during the war. Like many World War II veterans he was pretty closed-lipped about his experiences in the war, and my family really wasn’t aware of the treasure trove of photograph negatives he had stashed away until after he lost his battle with cancer in 1993. I regretted not finding out more about the places he'd been, the things he'd seen, and the people he knew. I had missed the golden opportunity to hear my grandpa’s first-hand accounts, but the one thousand photographs that he left behind told a story all their own. O v e r t h e y e ar s I have enjoyed studying his Continued on page 15

WORLD WAR II VETERANS:
Because all of us believe and understand in the fabric of the common bond of why we call ourselves American is to care for the men and women who wear the uniform; and when they take off the uniform, we care for them when they are veterans. – –Steve Buyer

photograph collection. Casually at first, then later becoming more and more serious about unravelling the mysteries contained on the celluloid. The photos’ subjects are varied and range from ordinary everyday scenes of him and his comrades working, to 13th century gothic cathedrals surrounded by crumbling ruins. In 2000 I published some of them on a website called Lost Images Of World War II, inviting visitors to offer their identifications and observations about the photos. That project springboarded me into more extensive research where I’ve been able to retrace Grandpa’s tracks across Europe, and also talk with the very few surviving members of his unit that I could find. In August of 2011, I launched a new, more detailed website which features several hundreds of Grandpa's photos along with summaries, analyses and modern day photo comparisons. The new website can be seen at www.lostimagesofww2. com I urge all World War II veterans to write your memoirs. Tell your stories. Show your old photos to your family while you can still tell the stories behind them. Shining through in those stories will be the values and traditions of a time when sacrifice was commonplace, valor was all-in-a-day's-work and truck drivers, college students, farm boys, and carpet store owners were heroes. Through loved ones, the struggles of our Nation during the war have touched my life, and I know that my grandfather played an important part. I understand the sacrifices that my grandfather made, and the ones he was willing to make during a time when hundreds of thousands made the ultimate sacrifice. This selfless attitude is characteristic of American veterans—past and present. We must never forget those who went before us and made life in America as it is today possible.

A Page Dedicated To Our Four-Footed Fuzzy Children.
Don't Risk Pets' Lives: Vaccinate DEAR PAW’S CORNER: The letter from a reader wondering if it's worth it to vaccinate his indoor cats ("Do Indoor Cats Need All Those Shots?") hit a nerve with me. Years 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

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
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. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a good friend and a trusted confidante. You would be a wonderful teacher or a respected member of the clergy.. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
coins in their mouths — clothing of the time lacked pockets, you see. • In late 19th-century America, parts of New England had a rather unusual Halloween tradition. Evidently, in many rural communities, boys would celebrate by throwing cabbage, corn and other rotten vegetables. • If you're like many wage slaves, as the end of the workweek approaches
Wednesday, November 8, 2017
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. • It's been reported that in the Mexican city of Tehuantepec, women outnumber men by five to one. *** Thought for the Day: "Life is a four-letter word." — Lenny Bruce © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
