YouthBuild, a program of Spero Family Services, is at it again. This time they are doing what they do best, not just lending a helping hand but also picking up a hammer, not just for people but for man's best friend, by building dog houses for the second time. The results are twofold. It gives these young men and women the chance to learn a valuable trade and also contribute to their communities under the guidance of construction trainers Rick Daniels and Bob Northup as well as Assistant Program Manager Cheryl Young. These students from Marion and Jefferson Counties and surrounding areas just completed six
well-built dog houses with materials donated by the City of Centralia. When I asked student Kaitlynn Bergeson what she thought about the project she said, "I like it. We all made  something so Kaitlynn Bergeson is a that dogs could have student from Mt. Vernon. Pictured are the YouthBuild students involved in the project. shelter."

LAYAWAY TODAY
Week 1 of 13: Property Tax Affects Everyone By Bob Watt, Jefferson County Treasurer Every year millions of dollars are collected from property owners by way of property taxes — the single largest tax in Illinois. Whether you own property or not, this tax affects you; it is included in the cost of rent you pay, or products you buy. Everyone is affected. Likewise everyone benefits from these taxes. If you attend a public school, use the library, drive on the street, or walk on the side-
walk; if you are protected by police or a fire department, or utilize county services you have benefited from the collection of property taxes. Following is a brief breakdown of where your property tax dollars go: 70 % education/schools; 9 % cities, villages & towns; 8 % county purposes; 7 % townships & road districts; 6 % other - fire protec-
tion, library, airport, etc. For more information go to http://www.jeffersoncountyillinois.com. Select Depar tments; then Treasurer/Collector; then Tax Distribution Reports If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact our office at 618-244-8010.

Combine first 5 ingredients in large mixing bowl; mix with heavy duty electric mixer at high speed 5 minutes. Place dough in lightly greased large bowl, turning to grease top. Cover dough and let rise in warm place (85°) free from drafts for 4 hours. Return dough to large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and beat at high speed 10 to 12 minutes. Turn dough into 5 equal portions and shape each portion into a 14 inch loaf. Place loaves on greased baking sheets. Put pan of boiling water on lower rack of oven to obtain steam. Bake at 425° for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Dough may also be braided in one large loaf.
Coconut Pound Cake 1 lb. (6 sticks) margarine 3 cups sugar 3 cups flour 9 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 1½ cans flaked coconut
Cream margarine, add sugar slowly, and cream well. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add remaining 5 eggs alternately with flour and salt, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and mix well. Lastly, fold in coconut carefully by hand. (Do not use a mixer here, as it will cause the cake to fall slightly.) Pour into large tube pan and bake in 325° oven 1 hour and 45 minutes. Start the cake in a cool oven — do not preheat. An ordinary angel food pan is too small for this cake. Test cake with toothpick for doneness. *** If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o The Shopper's Weekly, P.O.

politics & OPINIONS
This week is nothing but questions. Let me start by saying my heart goes out to the families and friends of the victims of the most recent mass school shooting in Florida last week. Since Sandy Hook there have been a dozen of these senseless crimes, and let's not forget Columbine. It's a sad day that parents have to fear sending their children to school, church or even a theater. I wish I had a solution to this overwhelming, heartbreaking issue. We can all talk about gun control, the NRA bad parenting, the schools, law enforcement, our mental health system, and other finger pointing and placing blame. The fact does remain that on this most recent shooting — leaving 17 dead and 20 injured — there were signs of deep problems to come, and they were ignored or sidestepped, as has happened in many of these mass murders. The point remains, where do we go from here?
On to the midterm elections and Russian intervention, but most of all, what's being done about it. Even though our intelligence experts are warning about Russian meddling, from what I see not much is being done about it, and that's across the country. But let's take Illinois, for instance. Illinois was one of two states where voter registration databases were breached in 2016. Illinois requested an assessment in January and is still waiting, with less than one month to go before the election. Why would they wait that long? At this point it's pretty clear there was attempted Russian intervention into the 2016 general elections, so it's not a matter of whether someone is going to try to breach our system. The question is, who? And to me, the bigger question is, what's being done about it? But backing up to 2016, there's absolutely no evidence that any hack in the election affected the outcome. Last week there were

thought about is, if that's true, what does it say about her, and especially Barack Obama's administration and the agencies that functioned under him for eight years? In my opinion, if it's true, that shows the inadequacy of the FBI, CIA, NSA and other government agencies. After all, I was always told the buck stops at the boss's desk. Do I believe Trump or Clinton intervened? No, I don't. Do I think the Russians were involved? I would say it's very possible. A prime example is it's alleged that the Russians staged a pro-Trump and an anti-Trump rally on the very same day. What was the purpose other than creating confusion? I have heard more than once the way to destroy America is from within! The only response from Russian officials on the thirteen Russian nation- indictments was, so what!

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
The Blessing of Abraham The patriarch Abraham is revered by Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Jesus referred to Lazarus the beggar as being in “the bosom of Abraham,” after he died. (Luke 16) Paul reveals that through the Seed of Abraham, the blessing of Abraham came upon the gentiles. (Galatians 3:13-14) Examine the life of Abraham and see how to walk in the blessing of Abraham. ABRAHAM WAS AN ALTAR BUILDER. “So, Abraham went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.” (Genesis 13:18) Wherever Abraham went, he made an altar to the Lord and worshiped. The Hebrew word for “altar” is “mizbeah” — meaning “place of slaughter.” Altars were where animal sacrifices were made. The altar pointed to the sacrifice of the Lamb of God — Jesus Christ. There can be no redemption or true worship without the blood of Christ. (Hebrews 9:22; I Peter 1:17-21) ABRAHAM TITHED. When Abraham heard that his nephew, Lot, and his family had been taken into captivity, he led his 318 servants to rescue them from the armies of King Kedorlaomer. Coming back, he met Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most-High God. He blessed Abraham and Abraham tithed him a tenth of everything he had recovered. (Genesis 14:17-20) Malachi prophesied the promise of the Lord to “open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing” and “rebuke the devourer,” for
The Shoppers Weekly – Mt. Vernon Area
those who tithed to God. (Malachi 3:10-11) ABRAHAM PRAYED BRAVE PRAYERS. Abraham encountered the Lord and prayed, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless?” (Genesis 15:2-3) Sarah was 90 years old and Abraham was pushing 100! Abraham prayed another brave prayer for his nephew, Lot. God revealed to Abraham that he was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham prayed an audacious prayer asking God to spare the city for the sake of even 10 righteous people. God sent an angel to lead Lot and his family out before it was destroyed with fire and brimstone. Soon after marriage, Sandy discovered that her husband was an alcoholic. She prayed
for him for 10 years. One day one of her husband’s expensive horses severely cut its leg. The vet said that it would never be able to walk again without a pronounced limp. Sandy offered to pray for the horse. Her husband replied, “It would be a miracle if the horse walks again. But if God heals him, I’ll never touch another drop of liquor again.” Sandy laid hands on the horse’s leg and prayed. The next morning, they went to check the horse — it was fine — with no scar or sign that it had ever been injured. Her husband never drank again and became a cowboy preacher. I want to challenge you to pray your bravest prayer. ABRAHAM BELIEVED G O D. G o d p r o m i s e d Abraham a son, even though he and his wife were old. We

have this remarkable scripture, “Abraham believed the Lord and he credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) Faith in God alone makes one righteous. (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; 3:24) Abraham sacrificed to the Lord and birds of prey came down to devour the sacrifice. (Genesis 15:7-11) Abraham drove them away. When you begin to walk in the blessing of Abraham, you may have to chase the birds of doubt, unbelief, and accusation away.
7 (James 4:7-11) Three heavenly visitors met Abraham and the Lord repeated his promise of a son. Sarah laughed, “Then the Lord said to Abraham . . . Is there anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14) Get this truth deep in your heart. THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM. Paul reveals this awesome truth, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us . . . that the blessing of Abraham might come

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Stop being the wool-gathering Lamb, and start turning that dream project into reality. You have the ideas, the drive and the charisma to persuade others to follow your lead. So do it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve scored some big successes. But remember that all hardworking Ferdinands and Ferdinandas need some time to restore their energies and refresh their spirits. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re gaining a stronger mental image of what you’re trying to achieve. Now look for the facts that will help get this to develop from a concept into a solid proposal.

Do you take care of your family? Goes without saying. Do you take care of your home? Of course. Do you take care of your heart? Probably not. It may not be at the top of most women’s to-do lists, but caring for your heart through a healthy diet and regular physical activity is the secret weapon to preventing heart disease. While many may assume that popping a few pills that your healthcare provider prescribed is enough to quell symptoms or prevent a heart attack, the real preventative power lies with real changes to your lifestyle – which can reduce the risk for heart disease by as much as 80 percent. Read on to find out how.

ENGINEERING MAJORS MCPHERSON, DAWSON NAMED PTK ALL-ILLINOIS FOR RLC Rend Lake College engineering majors Blake McPherson (Mt. Vernon) and Alicia Dawson (Carterville) have been selected as Phi Theta Kappa All-Illinois A c a d e m i c Te a m members. They will represent Rend L ake College's Rho Xi Chapter as All-USA nominees at PTK's upcoming AllIllinois Academic Team Banquet, April 11, in Springfield. They'll take the trip to Springfield together. But
these two aren't strangers. Since they are both in the Engineering Science program at RLC, their class schedules are identical. All-Illinois team members will be recognized at the banquet, at which time the winners of prestigious awards are announced. "I like being involved and this seems like an awesome opportunity to represent Rend Lake College through Phi Theta Kappa," McPherson said. "I joined because it's
the most well-known community college honor society. When transferring to a university — just for being a member of PTK — you qualify for more scholarships." "I was always told [PTK] offers great scholarships for transfer students and it looks really good on your applications for the future," added Dawson, who is also a member of the Lady Warriors volleyball team. "I didn't think I could do it but it was a task I put
