Fly On You Crazy Diamond For ever y certain moment of greatness in sports, there is an equally cer t ain moment of tragedy. On Nov. 7, 2017, Roy "Doc" Halladay became the living embodiment of that sentiment through his death. Halladay was a great pitcher. Baseball is a funny sport in that hitters get all the accolades, but true fans and those in the business of the sport know that pitchers are what make the game work. Fans may cheer for the homerun hitter, but it's the pitcher who puts the ball in play, and it's the pitcher who sends that hitter back to the bench with a few killer curves and fastballs that most people in the upper decks can't even see nor comprehend. Halladay was just such a guy. Seven times he was in the top five for the Cy Young award; twice he left with the iron. At 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, his was a figure you couldn't ignore. For years, it was common knowledge around the league that if you had Halladay, you had a winner on your team. He won 20 games three times, 19 games twice. Never lost more than 11 games in a season, ever. His lifetime WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) was 1.17 ... better than Bob Gibson (1.18), Jim Palmer (1.18) and Bob Feller (1.3) to cherry-pick a few. He threw two nohitters -- one a perfect game and another in the playoffs, matching only Don Larsen in that feat. He won 203 games and lost only 105. The guy had Hall of Fame written all
over him, and there was little doubt that he could have kept pitching after his retirement. He was only 40 when he died. To u n d e r s t a n d Halladay's dominance during the early parts of the 21st century, you only need check the baseball columns of the day. Halladay pitched in Toronto for 12 seasons, and every single team wanted him in their uniform next. Philadelphia won that contest, and the instant credibility he lent to the franchise was impossible to miss every fourth day. "There are no words to describe the sadness that the entire Phillies family is feeling over the loss of one of the most respected human beings ever to play the game," read the Phillies twitter, echoing sentiments of fans everywhere. It's creepy that Roy died in a plane crash. While air travel is considered the safest means of transport, it was hard for baseball fans to believe when Roberto Clemente and Thurman Munson both met their early demise in a small cockpit. Halladay, it seemed, couldn't resist the allure either. "I have dreamed about owning a A5 since I retired! Real life is better [than] my dreams!!" Halladay tweeted on Oct. 13. Well, Roy got his wish, and we got to watch him play. He's in a better place, and every sportsman was better for having known the guy. Rest in peace, Roy ... fly on.

ILLINOIS PLAYS KICK THE CAN
BY ILLINOIS STATE SENATOR KYLE MCCARTER 2017 is coming to a close and once again, the state’s poor fiscal health and weak economy are issues left unresolved. Legislative work during the spring session, special summer session days and the fall veto session did little, if anything, to address the systemic problems facing Illinois. I call it “kicking the can down the road.” Finances and the Economy As I detailed in last week’s column, Illinois ranks at the bottom when comparing the 50 states for fiscal health. We rank 49 for fiscal health in a study by the Pew Charitable Trusts. Pew looked at state fiscal years from 2002 through 2016. Only New Jersey ranks worse at 50. The report compared state spending with state revenue or income, and indicated states like Illinois suffer from “chronic shortfalls.” According to the analysis, the shortfalls are, “one indication of a more serious structural deficit in which revenue will continue to fall short of spending absent policy changes.” During this week, a new report from Georgetown University was released. It’s also a cause for concern. According to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, Illinois was among five states that suffered the most significant blue-collar job losses
during the period from 1991 through 2015. The Georgetown University study was actually about the number and availability of good paying jobs for those people with less than a bachelor’s degree. While nearly half of the 50 states added jobs in this sector, I l l i n oi s , Ne w Yor k , Pennsylvania, California, and Ohio suffered the most blue-collar job losses. The apparent link between the state’s fiscal health and job decline is not surprising. If a state’s fiscal house is on shaky ground, it hampers the economic climate for business expansion and job creation. Overspending, high taxes and burdensome regulations feed the fiscal problems and are negatives when it comes to recruiting new business and industry or creating economic growth. Burdensome government makes Illinois less attractive for business expansion and entrepreneurs and makes us less competitive with states that are f i s c a l ly re sp ons ibl e. Additionally, if our state economy is not growing at a sufficient rate, Illinois won’t receive the natural tax revenue growth needed to pay for priorities such as education, and programs and services for our most vulnerable citizens. It also leads to an inability of state government to pay its bills on time, ultimately government can’t get out of debt. Illinois needs reform.

The Shoppers Weekly Papers Mt. Vernon Area
Illinois’ road to recovery, opportunity and prosperity must include economic reforms to improve our business/jobs climate, and public policy reforms for more efficient and accountable government. That means ending the failed policies of the past. This is why I have advocated for reforms since coming to the Illinois Senate in 2009. Since 2015, when voters decided they wanted politically-shared government, there has been an ongoing philosophical battle in Springfield. On one side are supporters of reform. On the other side, proponents of business as usual. Unfortunately, the latter group continues to dominate. As 2017 comes to a close, we can conclude that once again, the Legislature failed to address the systemic problems facing Illinois. Our fiscal problems and poor economy remain. Illinois’ Overdue Bills Shrink Last month, I reported on the state’s use of selling government bonds to pay off old debts. The bonds are a way of borrowing, allowing Illinois to use the proceeds of the sale like a loan. The bonds were used to reduce the backlog of overdue bills from a high of over $16 billion a couple of weeks ago to just under $10 billion as of the date of this report, according to the Illinois Comptroller. While
the reduction is an important change, the remaining amount is still unacceptably high. In addition to the bonds eventually needing paid. Among the recent bills being paid with the bonding maneuver are those owed to vendors that provide Medicaid services to the state. Hospitals, doctors, nursing homes and other healthcare providers have seen time delays from many months to more than a year between providing care and being paid. That’s operating government on the backs of providers. There is both a benefit and a detriment to the bonding plan. Money obtained through the bonds must be paid back, but the interest rate is far below what Illinois pays in interest penalties on the overdue bills. That’s the benefit. The detriment is that there is no definitive plan to pay back the bonds. Additionally, borrowing by bonding, without any adjustment to the spending habits that helped bring about our fiscal crisis, ultimately won’t solve our problems. Continuing this failed policy means government is delaying its’ “day of r e c k o n i n g .” I n t h e “Taxpayer Bargain” balanced budget plan I introduced earlier this year I included a plan for bonding, but it was tied to reforms to save more than $500 million annually in late charges. It would also require a cap on government spending so we can begin getting Illinois out of debt. If government was really serious about addressing
these problems, the policies and practices that gave us the fiscal crisis would not remain in place. Flood Assistance for Clinton County In other news, there is some financial help available for victims of the summer floods. Senate Bill 403 was signed into law during the week, providing tax credits of up to $750 for eligible property owners in 18 Illinois counties, including Clinton where flood damages were sustained in July. The bill creates a natural disaster tax credit that eligible, affected property owners may apply to their 2017 Illinois income taxes. Qualif ied prop er ties include a taxpayer’s principle residence or land owned by a small business, but not a rental or leasing business. The allowable income tax credit will be the lesser of $750 or the
deduction allowed under the Internal Revenue Code for each taxpayer who owns qualified property in a county declared a state disaster area. The bill provides that township assessors shall issue eligibility certificates for appropriately requesting property owners, and that assessors shall certify to the Illinois Department of Revenue listings of flood-damaged properties. According to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the July flood damage had a fiscal impact to the state estimated at $4.6 million. The other counties affected by the legislation are Cook, Lake, Kane, McHenr y, Alexander, Jackson, Marshall, Union, Woodford, Carroll, Henry, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Rock Island, Stephenson and Whiteside — all of which were declared state disaster areas last summer.

The holidays are known for the giving spirit and a hectic pace. This holiday season, the American Red Cross is sharing three ways to give the gift of life in less time. At this time of year many regular blood and platelet donors delay giving due to busy schedules — but the need for blood remains. To help donors fit in a donation, the Red Cross offers three easy ways to make helping save lives faster and more convenient: • RapidPass® — Donors can complete their predonation reading and health history questions online to save about 15 minutes at their donation. In September, RapidPass became available on mobile devices, giving donors the ability to complete their RapidPass from a smartphone, tablet or computer. • Blood Donor App — Through the Red Cross Blood Donor App, users can find local blood drives and donation centers, schedule an appointment, receive appointment reminders and keep track of total blood donations — all from the palm of their hand. • Online appointment scheduling — Donors can conveniently schedule an appointment and find tips for a successful blood or platelet donation at redcrossblood.org. “The Red Cross is thankful for the generosity of donors who help keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products,

ANNUAL JCHS CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL The Jefferson County Historical Society will be hosting its annual Chocolate Festival on Thursday, December 1 at the Elks Lodge in Mt. Vernon. This is the sixth year for the festival. The Chocolate Festival will include a chocolate contest open to the public and divided into five categories: cakes, cookies, candy, brownies and bread recipes. All entries must feature chocolate. Three winners from each category will be chosen and each will receive a prize. An overall grand prize winner will receive $250. After the entries are
judged that morning, a chocolate tasting featuring all of the entries from the contest will begin at 11 a.m. and run until 1:30 p.m. Tickets for the chocolate tasting are $5. In addition to the chocolate tasting, there will be a bake sale featuring a variety of baked goods and a silent auction. All proceeds from the tasting, bake sale, and auction go toward upkeep at the Jefferson County Historical Society. Entry forms for the chocolate contest can be picked up at the Mt. Vernon Tourism office, City Hall, Jefferson County Historical Society office or from any
Historical Society member. The Historical Society must receive entry forms for the chocolate contest by November 28. Submit entries to the Jefferson County Historical Society, 1411 North 27th Street, Mt. Vernon IL 62864. Tickets for the chocolate tasting, bake sale, and silent auction can be purchased at the Mt.

but we know that the holiday activities that we cherish most can make it difficult for many regular donors to find a moment to donate this time of year,” said Joe Zydlo, external communications manager, Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region. “We hope technologies like online appointment scheduling, the Blood Donor App and RapidPass will make it a little easier for donors to give more life for patients this holiday season.” Patients don’t get a holiday break from needing lifesaving transfusions, and all blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply is available. Appointments can be made by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). To learn more about RapidPass, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site. Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below.

• On Nov. 27, 1095, Pope Urban II calls on all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land. Urban's war cry caught fire, and all told, between 60,000 and 100,000 people responded to his call. • On Dec. 2, 1777, Philadelphia housewife and nurse Lydia Darragh single-handedly saves the lives of Gen. George Washington and his Continental Army when she overhears the British planning a surprise attack. Darragh took notes, which she sewed into her coat before passing them onto American troops. • On Nov. 30, 1886, the Folies Bergere in Paris introduces an elaborate revue featuring women in sensational costumes. Some revues featured as many as 40 sets, 1,000 costumes and
an off-stage crew of 200. Per tradition, the show's title always contains 13 letters and includes the word "Folie." • On Dec. 1, 1913, Henry Ford installs the first moving assembly line to mass produce an entire automobile, reducing the time it takes to build a car from more than 12 hours to 2 1/2 hours. Ford divided the Model T's assembly into 84 discrete steps and trained each worker to do just one. • On Nov. 29, 1952, newly elected President Dwight D.

Wall Clock With Automata Sometimes identifying and dating an antique seems easy, but it fools you. An unusual wall clock was offered at a recent auction. It was labeled "Friesland wall clock with automata, 1800." Friesland is a section of Holland where people have been making clocks since the 1600s. Automata, of course, are the moving figures -- in this case, boats -- that are included below the clock dial for decoration and amusement. There was a moving scene with a woman milking a cow, a fisherman with a fish and three ships with sails. The clock also struck at an hour and half-hour. The clock case has windows that
show the moving pendulum. Add to that the decoration of the case and dial, paintediron Roman numerals, pierced brass hands and mahogany marquetry trim on the wooden case and hood. It had many characteristics of an early 1800s Dutch clock. It was the oldest and the most expensive of many Friesland wall clocks in the sale. Bidders also were sure it was an early clock, and the winning bid was $3,444. *** Q: I have a small cut-glass bottle that has a glass stopper and a silver cap. The bottle is rectangular, about 4 inches long by 1/2 inch wide. I read that in Victorian times, a widow would collect her tears in a vial. Could my bottle be one of these?
A: Tear collecting is referenced in the Old Testament of the Bible, in ancient Roman and Greek writings, and in Victorian poems and novels, but whether tear collecting was fact or legend is unclear. In the mid-1800s, when Victorian mourning customs became popular, it is said vials were used to collect tears wept for the departed loved one. Later, the tears were sprinkled on the grave to signify the end of official mourning. Another version of the custom claims mourning would last until the tears evaporated. It's difficult to imagine how a crying person could coax their tears into such a small bottle, but it makes a very romantic image. During the Victorian era, glass bottles were made with decorative caps, and were similar in shape to some scent bottles. Your bottle, cut glass with a silver filigree cap, is worth about $30. If there is a silver maker's mark on the cap, it will be worth more. ***

Should Pets in Cars be Restrained? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: What do you think of the law in the U.K. that fines drivers up to $6,580 for having their
pets unrestrained in the car? Isn't that the perfect example of government overreach? — Chuck G., El Paso, Texas DEAR CHUCK: That is a hefty fine, but I understand why the law is on the books. While some dogs are comfortable sitting unrestrained in a back seat or passenger seat, so they can put their head out the window (you never see an unhappy dog doing that, ever), many pets have a hard time sitting comfortably as the car moves
about. Unrestrained, dogs may slide around, fall onto the floor and otherwise be stressed by the ride. Some may get really agitated and clamber around in the car, distracting you. I know from experience how difficult it is to keep a car on the road

when a cat panics, climbs up the fabric of the back of the driver's seat, and sinks both front claws into your shoulder. And of course, if there's an accident and your pet is unrestrained, serious injury can result. Your pet will crash into objects inside the
car, or be thrown completely out of the car. The U.K. isn't alone in enacting legislation to restrain pets in moving cars. Nine U.S. states have laws on the books as of June 2017, Orvis.com reports. Each law has different requirements and penalties, but all agree
that an unrestrained pet can contribute to distracted driving or an obstructed view. Regardless of your state's law, keep your pet safe by making sure it is either in a carrier or a pet-specific seat restraint when you drive. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Cool, crisp mornings bring back sweet memories of my grandmother's house. She loved to bake and cook and was an expert at both. I think it was just one way she expressed love while taking care of us. No wonder my mother and I both are most comfortable in the kitchen. Even though friends and family gathering for morning coffee and coffee cake may be a thing of the past, this tradition is well worth revisiting in our fast-paced world, even if just on the weekends Baked goodies, hot from the oven, evoke a coziness that can be enjoyed by all. Why not start your own tradition.
Banana Nut Bread
For a special treat, top a toasted slice with cream cheese, chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey. 2/3 c. unsalted butter 1/2 c. honey 2 large eggs, beaten 1-1/2 c. mashed ripe banana (about 3 large) 2-3/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 c. plain nonfat yogurt 1 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter large loaf pan and set aside. In large bowl, cream together butter and honey. Stir in egg and bananas. In separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients alternately with yogurt to creamed mixture, blending well after each addition. Stir in nuts. Spoon batter into buttered loaf pan. Bake 45 to 35 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool about 1 hour before removing from pan. Cool before slicing. Yield 12 servings.

Cranberry Scones (My Mother's Favorite)
Scones come together quickly. Combine dry ingredients together the night before as an added time saver. Eat the baked scones the same day or freeze them. 2 c. unbleached flour 1 T. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1 c. buttermilk
2 T. honey, warmed 2 T. Marsala wine 1/3 c unsalted butter, melted 1/2 c. dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil baking sheet and set aside. In medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. Place buttermilk, honey and Marsala in large bowl. Whisk together until well blended. Add half the flour mixture and stir until incorporated. You will have a somewhat lumpy batter at this point. Add melted butter a little at a time, beating after each addition, creating a smooth batter. Stir in remaining flour mixture and cranberriwes until just incorporated. Dough will be stiff and slightly sticky. Turn out onto floured work surface. Turn and knead dough several times, then divide into thirds. Form each third into a uniform thick circle. Cut each circle into quarters and place remaining wedges on baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until lightly browned. Yield: 12 scones.

Blueberry Spice Coffee Cake
The delicate use of the strong spices complements the sweetness of the dried blueberries. Try it with dried cranberries or currents for a variation. Cake: 2-1/3 c. whole wheat pastry flour 1 tsp. salt 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg Topping: 1 T. unsalted butter 1/4 c. honey 2 T. buttermilk
2/3 c. unsalted butter 3/4 c. honey 1 c. buttermilk 3 large eggs 1/4 c. dried blueberries 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 c. finely chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter 8" x 8" x 2" cake pan. In medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. In large bowl, cream together butter and honey. Add buttermilk and eggs, mixing well to blend. Add dry ingredients along with blueberries and stir to just moisten. Spoon batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto serving plate. Make topping by combining butter, honey, buttermilk and cinnamon in small saucepan. Heat over high to the candy point, a boil that you cannot stir down. Cook for 1 minute, then add nuts. Boil for a minute or two, then pour over cake. Cool completely before serving. Yield: 16 servings.

ingredient. The biscuits turned out flat and tasteless. One-day Jesus healed 10 lepers. Surprisingly only one returned to thank him and glorify God. If you need healing or a miracle, look to the example of the thankful leper — add these ingredients to your life. (Luke 17:11-19) BE DESPERATE F OR M E RC Y. In ancient times it was a walking death sentence to be a leper. Somehow these 10 lepers heard about Jesus the miracle worker. A ray of hope filled their hearts. They sought Jesus out. Some friends recently cleaned out their crowded and cluttered garage and had a pile of things to be hauled off.
Disease and sickness has pervaded mankind since the fall of Adam and Eve by their disobedience to God’s directive. One of the signs of the end times, according to the Word of God, will be pestilences. In His mercy, God has always provided divine healing. We see instances of it in the Old and New Testament. Why aren’t more people experiencing God’s divine healing today? Scripture tells us that healing is “the children’s bread�, but some missing ingredients can make the bread fall flat. I know from experience, for one time I decided to make biscuits from scratch and left out an

They say that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I saw some big wooden letters painted red. I asked if I could have them and they gave them to me. They spell out HOPE. Inside the “O� there’s the figures of Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus. I set them up on my lawn for Christmas to remind those passing by that Christ came to give hope to mankind. The 10 lepers cried out in desperation for hope and mercy. Many do not experience healing because they are not desperate enough to seek God’s mercy. But “his mercies are new every morning.� BE OBEDIENT TO THE LORD’S COMMAND. Jesus commanded the 10 lepers to go show themselves to the priests. According to the law, they had to get a “Certificate of Health� to leave their quarantine. Disobedience brought
death, obedience brings life. “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.� (Isaiah 1:19, 16-10) In the Old Testament a Syrian general suffered from leprosy. A Jewish slave girl testified to his family of God’s healing power and how God had used the prophet Elisha. When he sought the prophet out, he was told to go dip in the muddy Jordan seven times. At first his pride prevented him to do so. But out of desperation, he relented and obeyed. After the seventh dip he was healed of his leprosy. (II Kings 5) Don’t let obedience be the missing ingredient in your life.
THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE SUPERCHARGES THE PRESENCE AND POWER OF GOD. All 10 lepers were healed, but only one returned, to gives thanks and as Jesus pointed out he was a Samaritan. “Jesus answered and said, ‘Were there not 10 cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?’� (Luke 17:15-17) The nine were Jewish, surely, they would be grateful to God. God is no respecter of persons. By his mercy, press in to him. Give him glory and thanks for his wonderful works. Where God is, miracles happen

Your faith has made you well.’� (Luke 17:19) The Son of God revealed the secret ingredient to divine healing and wholeness. Faith is the victory. (I John 5:4) Whether you need healing of disease or from the leprosy of sin and bondage; Jesus is the answer. Run to Jesus. With thanksgiving mix these ingredients with faith.

by Samantha Weaver • It was 7th-century English novelist and politician Edward BulwerLytton who made the following sage observation: "If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues." • If you have an indoor/ outdoor cat, you might have found yourself wondering why it sometimes shows up on your doorstep with an offering of a
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your work on a recent job assignment is impressive and is sure to be noticed. Meanwhile, expect to receive news about an upcoming holiday event you won’t want to miss. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Saving the world one person at a time is what you were born to do. So accept it when people ask you for help, especially during the holiday season. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Now that you’ve resolved all doubts about an important decision, you can surprise a lot of people by defending your stand with your strong and wellreasoned arguments. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The holiday mood stirs your need to nurture everyone from the family cat to great-grandma. But don’t overdo it, especially with teens, who like to feel grown up. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Enjoy basking in the warm love of family and close friends. But don’t fall into a prolonged catnap yet. There’s still much to do before you can put up your paws and relax. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid pushing others to work as hard as you do on a common project. Instead, encourage them to do their best, and they might well reward you with a pleasant surprise. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Like the sensible Libra you are, you no doubt started your holiday
shopping already. But be careful to keep within your budget. Shop around for the best buys. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Love and friendship remain strong in your aspect over the next several days. This is a good time to develop new relationships and strengthen old ones. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A beloved family member has news that will brighten your holidays. Also expect to hear from friends who had long since moved out of your life. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Family and friends are in for a surprise when you accept the need to make a change without being talked into it. (Bet it surprised you, too -- didn’t it?) AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Restoring an old friendship might not be as easy as you hoped. You might want to explore the reasons for your former buddy’s reluctance to cooperate. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your party-going activities pick up as the holiday season takes off. Enjoy your plunge into the social swim as you make new friends and renew old friendships.

have -- namely, you -- how to find food on its own. • You probably aren't familiar with the term "anthropodermic bibliopegy," but in the unlikely event that it ever comes up in conversation, you now know that it refers to books bound in human skin. • It's not surprising that during the severe northern winters, the Arctic ground squirrel goes into a state of suppressed physiological activity. What is surprising, though, is that during this torpor, its body temperature can get as low as 27 degrees Fahrenheit — without the animal be-
coming just another chunk of ice. This nifty trick can be attributed to a biological process that clears the rodent's blood of ice nucleators, which facilitate freezing. • You might be surprised to learn that in a 2016 survey of human resources professionals, it was reported that more than half of all workplaces offer paid time off for employees to vote. *** Thought for the Day: "We must believe in luck.
