Father and daughter, James and Janin Powers of Centralia are working together this year when they both enrolled in the Kaskaskia College Carpentry Program. James Powers served nearly 12 years of active Duty in the army as a Combat Medic. During that time, he was deployed 15 months to Iraq and then did two more tours in Afghanistan. After his last tour, the family decided to buy a house in the states after serving overseas for ov e r n i n e y e a r s i n Germany. According to James, “We were searching for lakeside property and

found a home in Centralia. I was Medically Retired in August 2015 and we moved here”. Janin Powers enrolled in KC right after high school and was active in the softball program her freshman year and now is a member of the Blue Angels basketball program. She enrolled in the Carpentry program 18 months before her dad and they both say they are thrilled to be studying this program together. James says, “Due to the many deployments, field exercises and schools I had missed my kids growing up. I retired and suddenly realized they were grown. It is
a rude awakening when you figure out that of the ten years in Germany I was gone for over four and a half of them. I cannot get that time back but at least I can be there now doing something constructive with my daughter that we both enjoy. If I am lucky, my son will begin studying Carpentry also”. Both father and daughter say that Kaskaskia is one of the few schools that offer an Associate Degree in Construction Science and the fact that it is only a fiveminute drive to class is merely a bonus. “We are both receiving a quality education and learning
something new every day”, says Janine. “My plans are to hopefully transfer to SIUE or SIUC and study business to hopefully one day open my own shop”. James says, “After completing the program, I am certainly looking forward to becoming self-employed. I also have an interest in attending an architecture school and finish my bache l o r ’s d e g r e e i n Architecture”. Both father and daughter feel that the KC Carpentry program is amazing. They say, “Instructor Pete Donnelly is a great teacher and always takes the time to explain everything and patiently gets the knowledge across”. “Anyone that is willing to learn can finish their first two years at KC, the trade skills acquired in the Carpentry program not only help getting into the union but also shortens the time towards becoming a j ou r n e y m an i n t h i s trade. The carpentry trade is in dire need of carpenters so work is likewise guaranteed as long as a person works hard and shows up on time,” says James. He adds, “Enrolling in this program with my daughter has been a fun journey. It’s time well spent and we are both not only getting a great education, but having fun doing it together”.

Laura Myers Is Republican Candidate For Illinois State Representative Laura Myers, a rural Greenville resident, is a Republican candidate for State Representative in the 107th District. She is an AFSCME employee with the Illinois Department of Corrections and is currently a Staff Development Specialist at the IDOC Training Academy. Myers has worked at Vandalia, Graham, and Centralia Correctional Centers. She earned her Associate’s Degree from Kaskaskia College, Bachelor’s Degree i n Hu man R e s ou rc e Management, and Master’s Degree in Business Administration. Myers is a conservative, Christian, and pro-life. She is a strong supporter of agriculture, veterans, law enforcement, first responders and the right to unionize. “I will uphold the United States Constitution and its Amendments, particularly the Second Amendment. It has been under attack for many years, and we must protect our right to bear arms.” Myers believes that supporting the middle class is one of the top issues. She intends to do this by sup-
porting agriculture, small business, and union membership. She believes that worker’s compensation insurance needs to be lower to relieve the burden on small businesses. “To create a pro-business environment, we must act in ways that support middle class citizens. To do this, we must lower taxes, deregulate business, and create free markets. We must also help local governments attract good-paying jobs. If we don’t attract and maintain good paying jobs in the area, then the amount of expendable income available to be spent in local stores will diminish.” Myers volunteers at Greenville VFW Post 1377. She believes it is important to help veterans organizations. “It is a way to give back to those who have given so much.” In addition to her affiliation with the VFW, she is or has been a member of Shoal Creek ABATE, Shoal Creek Friends of NRA, Little Blue Stem Quail Forever, Bond County Farm Bureau, American Angus Association, IL B eef Association, American

Getting Ready For The Big Game
Cooking With Lizzie
Super Bowl Party Dinner Super Bowl is next Sunday, February 4. Don't ask me who's playing, but if you're one of those who have a party, why not serve up piping hot fried chicken, with potato salad and baked beans. Yummy! That makes it worth having a Super Bowl party. Add some festive paper plates and napkins with colored plastic folks — of course, guest choice, the color of their pick.
Fabulous Fried Chicken 1 (2½- to 3-lb.) frying chicken, cut into 8 parts 2 cups buttermilk or clabbered milk 1/8 tsp. Tabasco Vegetable oil for frying
3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cornmeal (yellow or white) 1 tsp. salt 3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Place chicken pieces in large bowl and pour buttermilk or clabbered milk and Tabasco over Shopper's Weekly Staff Photo chicken. Turn pieces so they are evenly coated with milk. Cover bowl and let chicken soak in refrigerator at least 2 hours but no longer than overnight. Turn pieces once or twice. Borowiak's IGA is ready for Super Bowl Sunday. Stop by and see Store Manager Phyllis's When ready to cook chicken, pour off and discard soaking milk. Heat about 1/2' of vege- creative display. It will put you in the mood for Super Bowl Sunday February 4. table oil in 2 large frying pans (preferably cast-iron skillets) set over medium-high heat. Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper in paper or plastic bag and shake damp chicken pieces in seasoned flour. Shake off as much excess flour as possible so the coating won't be too thick. When oil is hot, arrange chicken pieces in single layer in skillets and fry, uncovered, until crusty, deep golden brown, and meat is no longer pink near bone when checked with point of sharp knife. Regulate heat so chicken does not burn. Cook breast and wing pieces about 18 minutes; thighs and drumsticks about 22 minutes. Remove chicken with tongs and drain on crumpled paper towels. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. If chicken has sat for more than 2 hours at room temperature and has gotten soggy, it may be somewhat recrisped in a 400° oven. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet and heat, uncovered, 10 minutes. Yield: 4 servings. Note: If buttermilk is unavailable, make clabbered milk by adding 2 tsp. lemon juice to 2 cups whole milk. Let stand at room temperature about 15 minutes.
Golden Pancake House Ribbon Cutting
New New-Potato Salad 3 T. minced shallots 3/4 tsp. salt or to taste 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper or to taste 1/4 cup minced parsley 1 T. snipped chives
Scrub potatoes. Leave whole if small. If larger, cut into 2" chunks. Cook in boiling salted water until just tender when pierced with metal skewer or point of sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Drain, and when cool enough to handle, slice potatoes about 1/8" thick. Place warm potato slices in large bowl and toss with olive oil, wine, and vinegar. Set aside until potatoes are tepid and liquid is absorbed. In small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mustard, shallots, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over potatoes and toss gently so it evenly coats them. Sprinkle minced parsley and chives over salad and gently toss again. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. Serve salad tepid or chilled and sprinkled with some additional parsley if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
North Sedgwick Grange Baked Beans 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1 (16 oz.) can cooked white beans, drained 1 (16 oz.) can cooked red beans, pink beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans, drained 1 (16 oz.) can small lima beans, drained or 1 (10 oz.) package small frozen lima beans, cooked 3 to 4 strips bacon
Preheat oven to 350°. In large skillet, sauté onion and garlic in butter over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until softened. Add chili sauce, maple syrup, water, rum, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, curry powder, salt, and pepper to skillet and bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook about 2 minutes to blend flavors. Put beans in deep 2-quart casserole (not shallow baking dish), pour sauce over them, and stir gently to combine. Beans will look very soupy at this point, but sauce thickens a lot as it cooks. Lay 3 or 4 strips of bacon over top of casserole and place in preheated oven. Bake 1 hour, or until sauce is bubbly and bacon is cooked. If bacon is not crisp enough, run casserole under broiler about 1 minute to brown. Beans should have plenty of sauce. If they look at all dry, add up to 1/2 cup water as they finish cooking. Yield: 6 to 8 servings. *** Until next week, Au Revoir! —Elizabeth Fenton

might be time to venture into something new. There’s a challenge out there that’s just right for you. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your love of things that are new gets a big boost as you encounter a situation that opens up new and exciting vistas. How far you go with it depends on you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That recent workplace shift might not seem to be paying off as you expected. But be patient. There are changes coming that could make a big difference. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While few can match the Goat’s fiscal wizardry, you still need to be wary in your dealings. There might be a problem you should know about sooner rather than later. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Easy does it when it comes to love and all the other good things in life. Don’t try to force them to develop on your schedule. Best to let it happen naturally. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprise decision by someone you trust causes some stormy moments. But a frank discussion explains everything, and helps save a cherished relationship. BORN THIS WEEK: Sometimes you forget to take care of yourself, because you’re so busy caring for others. But you wouldn’t have it any other way.

lypse is, “prophecy of a cataclysm in which evil forces are destroyed.” The word is derived from the Greek word “apokalypsis” as in Revelation 1:1 which means “unveiling,” and is applied to certain books and canons of scripture that contain revelations of the secret purposes of God, the end of the world as we know it and the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth.” The apostle Peter quoted from the prophet Joel concerning the last days, “And I shall show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:

time in 150 years. In 2019 there will be another blue, blood red moon. Are these some of the signs pointing to the second coming of Jesus and the beginning of the apocalypse recorded in the book of Revelation? Jesus said, “But of that day and hour, no one knows . . . but only the Father.” (Mark 13:32-33) But he also said, “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28) This speaks of anticipation and hope when God sets up the kingdom of his Son on earth and evil is vanquished. Jesus told us how to survive the apocalypse whenever it comes. I believe he gave us a promise and his “escape” plan. “Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re eager to take on that new opportunity opening up as January gives way to February. Now all you need to do is resist quitting too early. Do your best to stay with it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Doff a bit of that careful, conservative outlook and let your brave Bovine self take a chance on meeting that new challenge. You could be surprised at how well you do. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might not want to return to the more serious tasks facing you. But you know it’s what you must do. Cheer up. Something more pleasant soon will occupy your time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you dutifully tidy up your end-of-themonth tasks, your fun self emerges to urge you to do something special: A trip (or a cruise, maybe?) could be just what you need. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your achievements are admirable as you close out the month with a roar. Now you can treat yourself to some wellearned time off for fun with family or friends. (Or both!) VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be sure you know the facts before you assume someone is holding back on your project. Try to open your mind before you give someone a piece of it.

Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:17-31) Jesus himself said that there would be signs in the last days pointing to his return and the judgement of the nations, such as earthquakes, fearsome sights, and great signs from heaven. “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and the stars . . . the seas and the waves roaring.” (Luke 21:7-28) Recently we have seen blood red moons, a total solar eclipse, and a super moon. NASA reports that a super blue, blood red moon will occur with a total lunar eclipse on January 31, 2018, the first

When I was in the hospital dealing with some health issues, my daughter told me that my eight-yearold grandson prayed for me, “God, help papa survive the apocalypse.” He made my day. I don’t know if his prayer was prophetic or if he plays too many video games, but I believe it was sincere and faithfilled. I survived. I’m glad he didn’t pray, “God, help papa survive the autopsy.” A definition of apoca-

worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36) WATCH. Live with anticipation and the hope of his coming. “Behold, I come soon.” (Revelation 3:11) PRAY ALWAYS. Pray the prayer of repentance. (Acts 2:38) Prayerfully commune daily with the Lord. (Revelation 3:20) Paul prayed, “Now may the God of Peace himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Thessalonians 5:16-24) BE COUNTED WORTHY. Only faith in the blood of Christ shed on the cross can make one worthy. (I Peter 1:3-12, 19) Prayer keeps the fiery passion of Christ burning in your soul.
TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS. Fearful things are coming upon the earth. It’s called the “time of Jacob’s trouble” or “the great tribulation.” Jesus said there is an escape plan. Paul wrote of the catching up or rapture of the church to meet the Lord in the clouds before the “day of the Lord.” (I Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:1-9) TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN. For those who faithfully follow and serve the Lord Jesus, it will be a day of joy and honor to stand before the King of all Kings. Perhaps my grandson’s prayer was prophetic. Are you prepared to survive the apocalypse? Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com
