Students From Area FFA Chapters Attend 212° Conference Several areal FFA chapter members attended the annual 212° conference in Collinsville, on February 9 and 10, 2018. This conference is an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible by title sponsors as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. This two-day event is focused on student development and helps FFA members become aware of all aspects of personal growth. Students attended
sessions on mental, emotional, physical, and social growth, and leave this experience with a personal plan for self-improvement. This event also includes a dance along with other, engaging group activities. The conference was generously sponsored by the Energy Transfer Partners. 212° — the temperature at which water boils — focuses on taking students to the boiling point of per-
sonal leadership. At 211°, water is extremely hot, but just one more degree gets us to the next level. FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

In the news last week, Trump made good on a campaign promise and imposed tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. However, he's already stepped it back. For instance, Canada is now exempt as well as Europe and other allies like Australia. China isn't exempt, as usual. They're cheating, but what's new. The tariffs will go into effect in approximately ten days. Nearly half the GOP House members and others breathed a sigh of relief after the exemptions were reported. Already the coal industry has turned a corner. And this week, one to watch is the current race in Pennsylvania. Trump traveled to campaign for his guy Rick Saccone, in a special House election.
He's running head to head with his Democratic opponent Conor Lamb. This is a state that used to be a heavy steel manufacturer. Let's see if the steel tariff helps his friend. One thing is for sure, Trump waited till the last minute to climb up on the stump in support of Saccone. On to the porn star / Trump scandal. Frankly, folks, I'm pretty sick of all the finger pointing, and I think enough is enough. Take the current Trump accuser who goes back to years ago. It's apparent this affair was consentual and let's face it, this is just another finger pointer. And no, I don't think sexual abuse is okay, and I, for one, would fight for justice when the case is real. So in the case of Stormy Daniels' alleged
affair, the point is WHAT! Enough said. I find this as laughable as the finger pointing coming out of Hollywood. On to an important subject: Election Day. Primary elections will be held next Tuesday, March 20 across the state of Illinois. I encourage everyone to get out and vote. That's your American right, and many have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom to exercise that right! Until next time.

The Open Door Have you ever felt that things have been denied you? Perhaps your dreams, desires, hopes, and opportunities for influence seem to be shut up tight, locked, barred, and deadbolted. I have good news for you. There is one who has the key of David, he “opens and no one can shut; he shuts, and no one can open.” His name is Jesus and he made this promise to the church of Philadelphia about 2,000 years ago. “See, I have set before you an open door.” (Revelation 3:7-8) Apply these characteristics of the church of Philadelphia and God will set before you an open door. THE CHURCH OF PHILADELPHIA was one of the seven churches of Asia that John was instructed to write a letter to in the book of Revelation. Philadelphia was one of two churches of whom Jesus had no condemnation for.
Interestingly, only the church of Philadelphia and Smyrna still exist today. The citizens of Philadelphia had their city and homes destroyed many times by earthquakes, but they persisted. Philadelphia means brotherly love. Jesus publicly declared his love for this church. THE KEY OF DAVID. Keys are vital to lock and unlock doors. Jesus has the key of David. “He opens, and no man shuts and shuts, and no man opens.” (Revelation 3:7) Keys speak of authority. Jesus, the prophesied Messiah, came through the lineage of King David and, one day, will be seated on the throne of David in the city of David. He is “holy and true” which are attributes of deity. In ancient times when athletes won a victor’s crown they were given the key to the city. Jesus won the victory when he died on the cross for the sins of the world and arose victorious over death,
Wednesday, March 14, 2018 hell, and the grave. He has the key of David and gives that key to believers who overcome. (Matthew 16:1619; Mark 16: 17-18) THREE KEYS TO AN OPEN DOOR. Jesus revealed why he set before this church an open door. Key one: “For you have a little strength.” (Revelation 3:8) The “little strength” was not an indication of spiritual infirmity or weakness, but of fewness in number. It was a small church. God delights to manifest his power through the little. Little David killed a giant; little Gideon led a ragtag band of 300 to defeat the army of the Midianites; Jesus used a little lad’s lunch to feed a multitude of over 5,000 people. God will open a door of influence to use people with short arms to reach out to the hungry, hurting, and hopeless. Key two: Keep his Word. (Revelation 3:8) Be obedient to Jesus and His Word. Jesus said, “You are my friends if you do whatever I say.” (John 15:14) A young Christian was asked by his pastor how he became such a mature believer in such a short time. He held up his red-letter Bible and said, “I just read the red and do the red.” Key three: “Don’t say ‘No’ to Jesus.” (Revelation 3:8) I like this translation
from the NIV. The NKJV says, “You have not denied my name.” I can’t imagine saying “no” to Jesus. But multitudes say no to Jesus and deny his name. If you don’t say “no” to Jesus, he will set before you an open door. THE BLESSINGS OF AN OPEN DOOR. The rewards of keeping Jesus’ words are out of this world. Not only will you be able to be an influencer for the kingdom of God, but you have his promise of escaping the judgement of God that’s to fall on the unrepentive inhabitants of the earth. (Revelation 3:10-12) God will make you a “pillar” in his temple and have his new name written on you — signifying you belong to him and he belongs to you. (Song of Solomon 6:3) What a heavenly and beautiful tattoo you will wear. An open door begins by opening your heart's door to Jesus. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens unto me, I will come into him and sup with him and he with me.’ (Revelation 3:20) Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

Help Patients Rebound By Giving Blood
In March, while basketball teams are fighting for the chance to be crowned champions, patients battling cancer and other illnesses are fighting for their lives. The American Red Cross is asking blood donors to help patients rebound by making a lifesaving donation this spring. Middle school basketball player Olivia Stoy received blood and platelet transfusions during treatment for T lymphoblastic lymphoma. With the help of blood and platelet donations, the 14- year-old has returned to the basketball court and, more importantly, beat cancer. “We are so thankful that the blood products were available to Olivia for the almost two years of her treatment. They have made it possible for Olivia to regain her strength and get back to doing the activities she loves,” said Megan Stoy, Olivia’s mother. Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure that the Red Cross can collect more than 13,000 blood and platelet donations needed every day for patients like Olivia. Giving blood takes less time than it takes to watch a single basketball game.
Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below. Clinton County: Mar. 19, 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., Civic Center, 100 East Birch Street, New Baden.

In partnership with committed adults, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their
lives — such as strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their own potential and selfworth.

Girl Scouting is the place where girls experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You could have some problems with doubters who don’t share your enthusiasm for that new project you’re supporting. But use the facts to win them over to your side. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Someone is impressed by how you managed to get your case to the right people, despite attempts to keep you on the outside looking in. Expect to hear more about this. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Good for you -- your gift for seeing both sides of a dispute helps cool down a potentially explosive workplace situation. Some family-related tensions also begin to ease. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your determination to prove yourself is put to the test by midweek. Counting all the positive factors you have going for you will help you get over your selfdoubt. Good luck. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Several co-workers are still determined to resist coming over to your side. But don’t let that stop you from presenting your proposal to the people who count. Stay the course. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might prefer to be taken on faith and not have to prove yourself. But the truth is, you need to offer more facts if you hope to persuade people to accept what you say. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A family situation takes an unwelcome turn. While others might
be looking around for answers, you’ll soon sort it all out logically, and the matter will be resolved. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone might try to create doubt about your reliability for his or her own agenda. But your reputation and your colleagues’ long-standing faith in you saves the day. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unexpected change of plans forces you to come up with an alternative by the end of the week. Look for colleagues to offer valuable suggestions. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Nothing upsets the Goat as much as broken promises. But before you vent your anger, consider that this could ultimately prove to be a blessing in disguise. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An old workplace problem you thought you had solved for good resurfaces. But this time, co-workers will take a more active role in helping you deal with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful not to be misled by a negative reaction to one of your more important projects. If you believe in it, then it has worth and is, therefore, worth staying with.

Indian Toy Cradle Many American Indian tribes almost lost their culture by the 1960s because of 19th- and early 20th-century U.S government rules. American Indians could be removed from their land, resettled on reservations and even have their children sent to special boarding schools to be taught a new way of life. The children were punished if they continued to practice their ceremonies or speak their native language. Children from the Potawatomi tribe went to either a boys' or girls' boarding school, where they learned English and a trade. The American Indian Religious Freedom Act passed in the 1970s led to the end of the boarding schools and the beginning of efforts to bring back the Indian culture. A recent auction sold a toy Indian cradle decorated with beads and silver buttons, but holding a European porcelain-headed doll. It was made by Millie R. Hall, who lived at a Potawatomi boarding school in 1900, an important historic source for a handmade doll. It sold for $11,070. *** Q: I'd like to know the value of a violin that is about 100 years old. The inscription inside reads "Copy of Antonius Stradivarius, made in Czechoslovakia." What is it worth? A: Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) made violins, violas, cellos and other stringed instruments at his workshop in Cremona, Italy. Fewer than 600 of the original Stradivarius violins still are in existence, and they sell for several million dollars each. Thousands of copies have been made and don't sell for high prices. Your violin was made after 1918, when Czechoslovakia was created. Recently, a violin like yours that included the case sold for

West Point was the site of a Revolutionaryera fort that Patriot General Benedict Arnold agreed to surrender to the British in exchange for 6,000 pounds. However, the plot was uncovered and Arnold fled to the British for protection. • On March 12, 1903, the New York Highlanders join b as eb a l l ' s Ame r i c an League, changing its name to the New York Yankees in 1913. • On March 18, 1942, the War Relocation Authority is created to "Take all people of Japanese descent into custody," as well as some Germans and Italians, and put them in internment camps.

*** Q: I have a brass tea set that has sat unused for many years. Should I polish it or leave the natural patina? A: You should polish your brass tea set with a commercial brass polish. If it's heavily tarnished or corroded, take it to a professional. Some brass has been lacquered to prevent tarnish and should not be p o l i s h e d . Po l i s h i n g damages the lacquer. If the lacquer is peeling, you should go to a professional restorer. ***

• "The dishwasher in my new apartment smells bad. What should I do?" — P.K. Check the bottom of the dishwasher for stuck food pieces and remove them if present, then add two cups of white vinegar to unit and run. When that cycle's done, quick-scrub any gunky spots on the inside with baking soda, and then add a cup to the bottom; re-run dishwasher once more. • Is your place a mess? Here's a no-fail cure to get it gussied up: Invite friends over, and ask them to bring their significant other or people you mostly know. You'll be motivated to clean up rather than have them see your place a mess. • If you hate bending over to scrub the tub, use a broom as a scrub brush. (Just make sure it's clean, or you'll end up with MORE
dirt!) And while we're on the subject of brooms, clean yours regularly with soap and water, and trim off stray or fraying bristles to ensure a clean sweep. • Too-tight flats? Put on a thick pair of socks and grab your hair dryer. Run the hot air over the tight spots while wearing the socks and shoes. Keep them on until they're cool and remove the socks.

Jealousy Disrupts Doggie Household DEAR PAW'S CORNER: My two dogs, "Jake" and "Albie," are normally real sweethearts. But over the past few months they have been increasingly nasty to one another. Jake is five years older than Albie, who the shelter told me is about four years old. If Albie sees Jake lying in the sunny corner of the kitchen, he growls and barks. Jake will growl and bark right back. Last week they came very close to fighting. What can I do to stop this once and for all? — Gerry in Las Cruces, New Mexico DEAR GERRY: Dust off your dog-training manual — you're going to need it. Basic commands like "sit," "stay," quiet" and "leave it" are very helpful in defusing a situation between two housemate dogs. Sometimes dogs exhibit jealous behavior for no apparent reason; other times something has changed in
the household, and therefore the overall dynamic — a new roommate, new pet or new baby; shifting the furniture around; or even decorating for the holidays. Whatever the cause, you must re-establish order. Your dogs need to know that no matter what else has changed, you're still head of the house. Make sure that you show no favoritism. When it's time for treats, both dogs get treats (and only if they're both sitting calmly). When one is curled up in his doggie bed, the other should be, too. Take them for longer walks to burn off more energy, and work with them on basic commands. What if this doesn't stop their behavior? You will need to separate them into different rooms if a verbal "leave it" command doesn't work. If their behavior worsens, contact a pet trainer. © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

People Really Are Allergic To Cold DEAR DR. ROACH: Is it possible to be allergic to the cold weather and temperature changes? My son is 23 years old, and when he goes out in the cold, he breaks out in hives. What can he do? — K.R. ANSWER: This sounds exactly like cold urticaria, which isn't an allergy, but is similar in some ways. Doctors may test this by placing an ice cube (in a plastic bag with water) on the skin (usually the forearm) for five minutes, then watch the skin as it rewarms. If a hive develops (with raised skin and redness), that confirms the diagnosis. Cold urticaria can be associated with some infections (Lyme disease, hepatitis and HIV, among others) and with celiac disease. People with cold urticaria need to worry about systemic reactions. Avoiding cold (especially swimming in cold water) is critical, but even cold beverages can cause a serious systemic reaction, including swelling of the mouth and throat. Even anaphylaxis, a life-threatening collapse of the circulatory system, can develop. Many people with severe cold urticaria carry an epinephrine auto-injector in case of emergency. Antihistamines, such as loratadine (Claritin) and cetirizine (Zyrtec), are the best pharmacologic treatment. Experts in cold urticaria include allergists and dermatologists. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Whenever someone is ill with most diseases, they are usually prescribed a drug or a medicine, or a pharmaceutical product. Why is it that cancer patients are treated with "chemo," or
1. LITERATURE: What American poet wrote the line, "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night"? 2. MATH: The Roman numerals MCDXIV are equal to what Arabic number? 3. MONEY: Which U.S. president's image appears on the $50 bill? 4. MEASUREMENTS: What does a "candela" measure? 5. MOVIES: What was the original name of Disney's Mickey Mouse? 6. HISTORY: What war is the Battle of Leipzig associated with?
"chemotherapy," rather than one of the above? Is there a difference, or is it just semantics? Nobody I've asked seems to have an answer. — D.G. ANSWER: To be honest, I was confused too, until medical school, where I learned that "chemotherapy" is just another word for a drug or medicine intended to treat a condition. We just normally reserve the term for drugs used to treat cancer. Although we tend to think of the side effects of chemotherapy as horrific, and some certainly are the most toxic substances we ever use, they vary widely in how well they are tolerated. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: In August I had open repair of my right rotator cuff. I was told it was a severe tear with bone and tendon involvement. I am 67, and the recovery has been a long one. If you can believe it, even with physical therapy and pain management, I am still uncomfortable at times. I have a stupid question that I hope you can answer. Ever since surgery, I have had to sleep on my unaffected side. Is it OK for me to finally try sleeping on my right side? I don't have another appointment at the orthopedic office. I am embarrassed, as it is one question I haven't asked. — C.V. ANSWER: It's not a stupid question at all. I don't think you will damage the surgery repair by sleeping on the shoulder now, and you certainly can try it to see if it feels uncomfortable. I also would recommend you continue the exercises your physical therapists gave you. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.
