It's a new era in the NFL. For the first time in years, a new crop of general managers and head coaches have taken a leap by bounding into the trade market. Usually the providence of Major League Baseball, the NBA and NHL, the time has finally come for the NFL. With the exception of one or two streaking teams, the vaunted parity of professional football, the desperate fight to

make the playoffs or the desire to begin a quick rebuild has led to a spate of high-profile trades. It began when Marcell Dareus, a defensive tackle and former No. 3 overall draft pick, was traded to Jacksonville from Buffalo. One year after Rex Ryan, Buffalo has surprised many this season, actually challenging New England despite having a weak passing attack. That changes with the addition of wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, a former firstround pick and Carolina's leading receiver this year. Three-time Pro Bowler and former first-round draft pick Duane Brown was dealt to the Seahawks in exchange for draft picks, quar terb ack Russ el l Wilson restructuring his contract in exchange for

added protection on the line. With the loss of Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, a Giants team in total disarray, Seattle vaults to the head of the pack in the NFC with the move. Wilson is dynamic as ever, and this pickup can only help. The Eagles and the Patriots may have made the best deals, however. The Eagles, with Carson Wentz behind center, look like the real deal. Anyone that has watched the NFL over the years knows that in order to be taken seriously in the league you have to put together two consecutive seasons of top performance, otherwise you're a Scott Mitchell or a Matt Cassel. We've seen enough of Wentz to know he's going to be around for quite a while. He throws a ball like Dan Marino used to ... no West Coast offense in Philly. They matriculate the ball downfield, Wentz not afraid to chuck the ball a good 30-yards a clip. Their fifth-ranked rushing attack just added Jay Ajayi for a fourth-round pick, and even though Ajayi is gaining a reputation for

being a locker-room cancer, that move has the word "steal" written all over it. The Patriots shook up the market, dealing highly touted backup quarterback Tony Garoppolo to the 49ers for, get this, a second-round pick. At the time of the trade, Tom Brady told the press he couldn't name his backup, but it likely won't matter anyway ... the guy is a rock. Even the Jets made trades! Hapless Cleveland tried to make a trade for Cincinnati's backup quarterback, but in true Browns fashion, forgot to call in the trade. That franchise is a mess. I wouldn't be surprised if they had an intern try to fax it over. In all, let's hope that this is a harbinger of things to come. As any MLB fan will tell you, trades are practically half the fun of the game. Shaking things up in the NFL versus standing pat is a tradeoff most fans would take any day.

OPINIONS
There Is No 'Without Trump' Ed Gillespie went from potential vindicator of Trumpism to "cuckservative" in the space of a couple of hours. The Virginia Republican, campaigning for governor in a treacherous political environment defined by an unpopular president of his own party, ran the only race he reasonably could. He distanced himself from Donald Trump personally, hoping to lessen his losses in heavily D emo crat ic Nor t her n Virginia, while hitting some Trumpian notes on crime and immigration to appeal to the president's base. Gillespie looked to be gaining fast on Democrat
5
The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area
Ralph Northam. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, the self-declared keeper of the Trumpist flame, believed Gillespie had cracked the code by fashioning a "Trumpism without Trump." At least that was the party line until Gillespie lost on Nov. 7. Then he became an establishment tool who had betrayed Trumpism and the president. The hypocrisy of the Bannon faction aside, the Virginia race revealed a problem with the Trumpismwithout-Trump construct — namely, that it's not really possible. First, it's not going to be convincing to Trump-haters. Ed Gillespie is not the slightest bit Trumpy. He is earnest, wonky and friendly. When he distanced himself from Trump, it was credible because he hadn't been close to Trump to begin with. He had never met him, and all of Trump's support on Twitter was unsolicited. None of this made the slightest difference to voters
in Northern Virginia, where Northam racked up margins bigger than Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. These people weren't showing up to send a message to Gillespie, the otherwise unthreatening candidate who happened to run a barrage of negative ads against Northam (not the first time this has happened in electoral politics). They were showing up to send a message to Trump, whom they believe is a clear and present danger to all that they hold dear. So as a sheer political matter, there can be no such thing as Trumpism without Trump, or Anti-Trumpism without Trump, or Anything Else without Trump. It is difficult enough for a candidate to run away from a conventional president of his own party; it is going be even harder with a president who dominates the media to an extent no other president has, and courts — nay, enjoys — radioactive controversies. In theory, Trumpism without Trump is the right
direction for the GOP. It should learn from his populist, nationalistic appeal while avoiding its (and his) excesses. In practice, Trump himself is going to loom all the larger in the party. He is the main issue in American politics, and he may be the only Republican fit to weather the storm — he has a proven ability to turn out his voters, he doesn't have to win elections in nonpresidential years, and his persona works for him, if not for anyone else. If the worst comes and Republicans lose both houses of Congress next year, Trump's importance will be further magnified as the only Republican standing between Democrats and unified control of the federal government. In that circumstance, Republican voters would probably be much more willing to embrace Trump without Trumpism, rather than the opposite. Rich Lowry is editor of the National Review.

letters to the editor
Dear Editor, Former CIA says Putin "played" Trump when he said he had nothing to do with the election. Donald Trump is dealing with important issues. Why no mention about the silly "restart button" that Hillary Clinton took over? Why didn't Barack Obama do something when he was in charge if he knew Russia was going to do this? We need to move forward. A good relationship with Russia is important in helping with all the world problems but still realize that Russia has its own interests. Robert Mueller's committee needs to be stopped. They will continue to keep digging for dirt on anyone who had anything to do with the President from the day he was born. Why all Democrats? Republicans need to get committees going to check on Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, James Comey, VA scandal, Mexican guns, illegals, etc.

the “blue model” of government incarnate. This model is the iron alliance of the Democratic Party and government workers’ unions. Madigan supports Pritzker, who is committed to the alliance. In 2018, Rauner will try to enlist voters in the constructive demolition of the
“blue model.” It is based on Madigan’s docile herd of incumbent legislators, who are entrenched by campaign funds from government unions. Through them government, sitting on both sides of the table, negotiates with itself to expand itself. Term limits for legislators, which a large majority of
Illinoisans favor, would dismantle the wall. A 60 percent supermajority of the legislature is required for such a constitutional reform. So, next year voters will be urged to oppose any legislature candidate who will not pledge to vote to put term limits on the ballot. And all candidates will be asked how
often they have voted for Madigan for speaker — he has a 26 percent approval rating — and to pledge not to sin again. “I love a fight,” says an ebullient Rauner, whose rhetoric cannot get much more pugnacious. He calls Madigan “the worst elected official in the country” and
Madigan’s machine “evil.” The nation has a huge stake in this brawl because the “blue model” is bankrupting cities and states from Connecticut to California, so its demolition here, where it has done the most damage, would be a wondrous story enhancing the nation’s glory.
Donald Trump must be a tough guy to continue his plan to make America great with all the garbage being thrown at him. Republicans better get in line. All their non-support of the President will just get more Democrats elected and we will be back in the era of Barack Obama. All I think is that they're not behind him, like the swamp. The older Bush is now accused of patting women on the backside. Give me a break! What next! Is it okay when men pat each other on the bottom? Let's start investigating some of the bigwigs in the Democratic Party and see how clean they are. Investigate everyone involved in the uranium deal. Why are these sexual accusations just now coming out against the Judge Roy Moore running for office? We know the Washington Post is false news. John McCain says Moore should not be seated even if elected. I'm very disappointed in John McCain for not supporting the President or his program; also Mitch McConnell. Makes it sound like he's already guilty. Democrats are enjoying all of this. Why can't the Republicans see this? How many there now meet the moral qualifications to be
seated? Democrat or Republican? Now they continue to go after Trump's children. The Ex Vice President is on the talk shows saying he didn't want to attack the President while out of the
country. He and Barack Obama need to stay home. Diane Hart _________________

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
Thanksgiving Can you imagine a nation proclaiming a national holiday to offer thanksgiving to God for his abundant blessings? The pilgrims who survived that first harsh winter started the American tradition. Years later, President Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday. God commanded the Jews to set aside special feast days to commemorate God’s blessings. For some, Thanksgiving has become simply a day of feasting, football, and fortune hunting the day after Thanksgiving. But don’t miss the benefits of true thanksgiving. PROSPERIT Y AND THANKSGIVING. True prosperity starts with the soul. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in
health, just as your soul prospers.” (III John 1:2) Gratitude leads to a healthy soul and wholeness. David declared, “What shall I render to the Lord for all his benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.” (Psalm 116:12) In many of the Psalms we are urged to offer thanksgiving. (Psalm 50:14) Captain Eddy Rickenbacker and his crew were shot down by enemy fire during WWII. The survivors drifted in a life raft for days with little water and no food. The crew had a prayer meeting and prayed for God’s help. Shortly after, a lone seagull landed on one of the men’s head. He reached up and grabbed it and they ripped it apart and ate it raw. They used some of the inner parts for bait to catch
some fish. By God’s divine providence the crew was rescued. Every Friday for the rest of his life, Eddie Rickenbacker took a bucket of fish down to the pier, fed the seagulls, and offered thanks to God for his crew’s rescue. True prosperity starts with gratitude. PRAISE AND THANKSaGIVING. David reveals the secret of entering the presence of God. “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise. Be thankful to him and bless his name.” (Psalm 100:4) Thanksgiving enables us to catch the wind of the Spirit and mount up with wings like eagles. Why should we offer thanksgiving to God? “For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endures to all generations.” (Psalm 100:5) His grace and truth will flood you with thanksgiving. PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving supercharges prayer with faith and surrounds you with peace. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer . . . with thanksgiving . . . and the peace of God . . . will guard your minds.” (Philippians 4:6-7) Don’t let thanksgiving

be the missing ingredient in your prayer. POWER IN THANKSGIVING. Thanksgiving can change our attitude and bring God’s grace and power into the situation you face. “Rejoice always. Pray . . . In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (I Thessalonians 5:18) A couple of weeks ago, I had one of those days where everything seemed to go wrong. But when I paused to praise God and give him thanks, his presence and power flooded my soul, and God gave me grace to walk in victory. PERSON OF THANKSGIVING. Jesus constantly offered thanksgiving to his Heavenly Father. At his Last Supper, Jesus took the cup and gave thanks. “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave to them saying, ‘This is my body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:14-19) To experience the ultimate thanksgiving, by faith partake of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Confess him as Savior and Lord. Thank Jesus for victory for every area of your life. (I Corinthians 15:57) One day ten lepers came to
Jesus begging him to heal them. He sent them to the priest for the prescribed certificate of health. As they went, all 10 were cleansed from leprosy. But only one came back to glorify God and give thanks, and as Jesus pointed out, he was a Samaritan. (Luke 17:11-17) “And he said to him,

T
hanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and share special moments with family and friends. While the original Thanksgiving might have taken place during a time when food was sparse, nowadays Thanksgiving often involves excessive amounts of food, with more food ending up in the garbage than in celebrants’ bellies. The United States Department of Agriculture projects that Americans will throw away more than 200 million pounds of edible turkey meat this Thanksgiving holiday. And Thanksgiving typically ushers in a period of wastef ulness, as t he U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says American hou s ehol d s pro du c e roughly 25 percent more trash between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day than during the rest of the year. Reducing waste is a worthy goal year-round, but especially so during the
holiday season. And accomplishing that goal can be done without sacrificing holiday traditions. • Use fine china when serving meals. Thanksgiving provides an opportunity to serve meals on fine china and use the silverware that has gone unused instead of disposable plates and utensils. In addition to adding a touch of elegance to meals, reusable china and silverware is less wasteful than paper plates and plastic utensils. Cloth napkins and other table linens are also more eco-friendly than paper napkins. • Decorate using natural items. Scour the great outdoors for all-natural centerpiece materials or other items that can be turned into wreaths and garlands. Vases filled with pine cones and acorns make for beautiful, inexpensive and festive decorations. • Shop locally and organically. When shopping for Thanksgiving dinner,
choose local produce, poultry and grains whenever possible. Resist the urge to buy more than you need as well. Skip some of the less-popular dishes that are used only to make the table seem full. Buy a small turkey or think about only serving turkey breasts, which tend to be the most popular cuts of the bird. Use reusable shopping bags to carry items home and reduce waste even further. • Light candles and reduce energy consumption. During the meal, eat by candlelight and turn off lights in other areas of the home that are not in use. Rather than turning on the television, take the party outdoors and play a game of football on the front lawn. • Have a local Thanksgiving. Start a new tradition and invite nearby friends and family over for the holiday instead of traveling long distances. According to Use Less Stuff, a resource for eco-con-
scious men and women, if each family reduced gasoline consumption by one gallon (roughly 20 miles), they could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by one million tons. • Send home the leftovers. Send each guest home with some leftovers if you have any. This way the refrigerator isn’t left full of items that will end up uneaten. Otherwise, donate uncooked food to a local food bank. Use any scraps of vegetables in a compost pile. • Don’t let recycling fall by the wayside. Remember to recycle all applicable items. Just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean recycling habits should be forgotten. Encourage guests to pitch in by clearly marking recycling bins. Thanksgiving can be less wasteful without detracting from the enjoyment and true meaning of the holiday.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have three dogs — two Schnauzers, male and female, and a poodle, m a l e . My f e m a l e Schnauzer, "Chloe," plays great with the other two, but when the time comes for them to relax, she goes crazy licking their ears and eyes. It doesn't seem to bother the two males, but the continuous licking sounds really bother me. Is this just a female mommything or is she obsessed? All three dogs have been fixed. — Jackie M. in Denver

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Restless Rams and Ewes might want to let others finish a current project while they start something new. But if you do, you could risk losing out on a future opportunity. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s creative forces start revving up as you plan for the upcoming holidays. Some practical aspects also emerge, especially where money is involved. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Moments of doubt disrupt your otherwise clear sense of purpose. Don’t ignore them. They could be telling you not to rush into anything until you know more about it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A planned trip might have to be delayed. Plan to use this new free time to update your skills and your resume so you’ll be ready when a new job opportunity opens. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A flood of holiday party bids from business contacts allows you to mix work and pleasure. Your knowledge plus your Leonine charm wins you a new slew of admirers. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unexpected act by a colleague complicates an agreement, causing delays in implementing it. Check out the motive for this move: It’s not what you might suspect.

your past generosity. But there might be a reason for this behavior that you should know about. Ask. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Be careful not to set things in stone. Much could happen over the next several days that will make you rethink some decisions and maybe change them. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your plans to help provide holiday cheer for the less fortunate inspire others to follow your generous example. Expect welcome news by week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re in your glory as you start planning for the holiday season ahead. But leave time to deal with a problem that needs a quick and fair resolution. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) The upcoming holiday season provides a perfect setting for strengthening relationships with kin and others. A new contact has important information. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Instead of fretting over a cutting remark by a co-worker, chalk it up to an outburst of envy of your well-respected status among both your colleagues and superiors. BORN THIS WEEK: You instinctively know when to be serious and when to be humorous — attributes everyone finds endearing. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

There are so many talented students in the KC District and I look forward to making memorable musical experiences with the local singers.

What a great way to begin the holiday season!” The concert is free and open to the public.
