Red Cross Calls For Summer Blood Donations To Prevent A Shortage The American Red Cross is counting on volunteer donors to give blood and help ensure patient needs can be met this summer. Around Memorial Day, the Red Cross sees a steep decline in blood donations. Busy summer schedules, vacations and school breaks also cause a drop in donations. Accidents and medical emergencies don’t take a summer break — patients need blood every minute, every day. In the summer of 1973, Ramona Johnson was playing at the park when she was injured jumping off the swings. She was bleed-
ing profusely from a 7-inch gash in her leg. By the time she reached the hospital, she needed an emergency transfusion. She credits the donors who took the time to give blood with helping to save her life. Johnson’s childhood experience receiving blood compelled her to make her first blood donation more than 10 years ago. “A little voice told me that this would be a great way to give back,” she said. “I have been faithfully donating every eight weeks since.” The public is asked to schedule an appointment to help ensure that hospitals

Barbara Kay portrays Molly Brown Saturday, June 16th at 2:00 p.m. in the Schweinfurth Museum at the Historical Village
Though Margaret “Molly” Brown’s lasting fame stems from her survival of the Titanic disaster, her lasting influence arises from her achievements as a social reformer and champion of the rights of women, children, and workers. Molly’s journey from poverty and obscurity to international prominence traversed the mining camps of Colorado, the theaters and ballrooms of Paris and New York, and the voting booth, which she helped to open to women. Barbara Kay’s vivacious living history portrayal of Brown traces that journey, explaining the significance of each step and showing why it remains both instructive and inspiring today.

The Cure for Loneliness Loneliness is part of the human condition. Dictionaries define loneliness as “lacking support from others, isolated, lonely, sad because one has no f r iends or company, without companions, solitary.” Many factors can bring on loneliness. Some people tend to ostracize or ignore others because they are different, disabled, elderly, poor, or have an unpleasant personality or behavior. Some people are lonely because for some reason they are anti-social. But even the great King David had times of loneliness. “I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. I lie awake and am like a sparrow
alone on the housetop.” (Psalm 102:6-7) The good news is that there is a cure for loneliness. You never have to be lonely again. In the very beginning God created Adam and Eve to be the perfect compliment and companion for each other. But God knew down deep in their heart and soul they needed more. Man was created to have a relationship and fellowship with God, our Creator. “And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” God desired and delighted in having fellowship with Adam and Eve. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered humanity. What did Adam and Eve do? They hid from God,
was the left-handed Benjamite who killed Eglon? Geshem, Agag, Ehud, Joram 3) How many beasts rising out of the sea did Daniel have a dream 1) Is the book of Lot in about? 4, 7, 13, 20 t he Old or Ne w 4) What king wanted Testament or neither? to see miracles when the 2) From Judges 3, who arrested Jesus was before
because they realized they were naked. God killed an animal and clothed them with the skin of the animal. (Genesis 2:8-9, 15-24; 3:8-15) Man was separated from God because of sin and out of fellowship. An inner loneliness gnawed at their heart and soul. But God prophesied of the cure for sin. Speaking to the serpent, Satan, God declared, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heal.” (Genesis 3:14-15) This scripture foretold of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and his victory over the devil and sin. Fellowship with God is restored. Jesus Christ is the cure for loneliness.
Follow these steps and never be lonely again. FOLLOW CHRIST. As God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden — he invites you to come and walk with Jesus Christ. (Matthew 11:2830) An old children’s song from the recording “The Donut Man”, is so true, “Life without Christ is like a donut, there’s a hole in the middle of your heart.” Jesus promises to never leave nor forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5-6) FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS ARE OF GOD. Try your best to keep family relationships healthy and thriving. This takes work, forgiveness, and intentionality. “God sets the solitary in families; he brings out those
3
who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.” (Psalm 68:5-6) If you are alone, perhaps you can adopt a family. There is nothing as vital and fulfilling as the family of God — the church. “For this reason, I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” (Ephesians 3:1419) FRIENDS. Don’t wish for a friend — make a friend. It’s not your resume that measures your success in life — it’s your relationships. A friend will stand with you in adversity. A true friend will nurture and encourage you. The quality of your life is determined by how you spend your life
and with whom you spend it. There is no friend like Jesus. (John 15:12-17) FELLOWSHIP. A cure for loneliness is fellowship. The Greek word is “koinonia”, to share with others or partnership. (Acts 2:42; I Corinthians 1:9) But deep down every person has an inner longing and spiritual need that only Christ can fill. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens unto me, I will come in to him and sup with him and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20) Jesus is the cure for loneliness.

We're getting closer to the Trump-Kim summit being held in Singapore Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. By the time you read this column I'm sure we'll all know the results. On Saturday, Trump arrived at the set destination 10,000 miles from Washington just a short time after Kim Jong-un and started preparing. My prediction is they could meet for 60 seconds until the President says no dice, or one meeting could turn into two or three or four. Let's face facts, you don't undo 70 years of war overnight. Who knows? But what I do know is in 16 months Donald Trump has accomplished more than Barack Obama did in eight years and is the first sitting U.S. President that's met face to face with any North Korean leader. While the left ranted for failure, the Prime Minister of Japan said, "This is a major step forward." The bottom line is, with Donald Trump as our leader, America is once again getting her mojo back! On to the NFL, specifically the Philadelphia Eagles — many of whom, in my opinion, are unpatriotic, spoiled rotten, overpaid, unappreciative brats. President Donald Trump reached out to the football players and invited 60 to the White House, which most of us would consider an
honor. When he found out only six planned on attending, he canceled. Instead, Trump made it a celebration party for the U.S.A. I say good for Trump. Of course CNN took the low road, calling Trump fake. Wow, coming from CNN, could I have fun with that one. But on top of that, they called him a racist. But putting all that aside, go to the NFL players protesting. I actually know of people that think a football game is a good venue and time to protest by kneeling during the national anthem. Personally, I'll never think that's acceptable. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever. The price many have paid for our freedom is way too high for anyone to disrespect the national anthem as well as burning the U.S flag. But with that said, those same people that paid a heavy price gave us the right, the freedom to protest, and I'm okay with that, but not at a football game during the national anthem. Take it somewhere else and don't show disrespect for those that gave you that right! In my opinion, these protests failed. All the football players did was turn millions of people off. There hasn't been a football game watched in our home since all this craziness started, and there probably won't be again.

These players should be grateful they have the opportunity to live in a country where they have the freedom and the right to pursue their dreams and be paid well for what they do. To be fair, last season none of the Philadelphia Eagles players took a knee. On to Washington. Last week when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked what she thought about the record low unemployment numbers, her comment was, "Hip hip hurray. What does that mean to me?" This shows you how Speaker Pelosi thinks. But this is the same woman that defended the M-13 gang. And last, to top the week off, a leak investigation led to a Senate aide's indictment. James Wolfe was indicted on Thursday after it was found he was sharing information over pillow talk with New York Times reporter Ali Watkins. She hasn't been indicted yet for receiving classified information, but if Jeff Sessions comes out of hiding, not only will he nail the exSenate aide, but the New York Times reporter as well. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

Member Of Shoppers Weekly Team Seeks Crowdfunding For Novel By Cathy Stuehmeier
Having been in the media business for 50+ plus years, I can tell you that there is something about it that attracts talented individuals. I've had the honor of working with a particular one of those talented individuals for over 20 of those years. Scott Pinkowski is the production manager at the Shoppers Weekly Papers. Not only does he utilize his talents to design effective advertisements for our clients and help keep dayto-day operations running smoothly at the paper, but he's decided to pursue novel writing on his own. Over the years, he has contributed a few writing pieces to the paper for publication and I immediately recognized his knack for words. I remember once telling him that he may have missed his calling as a writer. At the time, I didn't suspect that he'd taken those words to heart. So, delving into the world of writing may not seem at all unusual, but perhaps it is how he did it that stands out in my mind. Many of our team members are parents, so it's

Scott and Audrey Pinkowski not uncommon to see their kids hanging out at the office during the odd hours that babysitters are unavailable. On any given day you might see a kid or two reading or drawing or playing with a tablet. Scott has two wonderful children, 12-year-old Drake and 10-year-old Audrey. It was always a treat to have Audrey around at the office. All of the staff might find hand-made greeting cards in their mailbox from time to time or a handmade storybook might
make the rounds. Many of the staff still have a few of her drawings and cards hanging by their desks as keepsakes. One of the many creative things she would do while in the Shoppers Weekly headquarters is write stories. She'd sit at the upstairs production department table and write, illustrate and staple together these elaborate storybooks. It's one of these storybooks that catapulted Scott into the world of writing. (Continued on page 7)

The Shoppers Weekly – Mt. Vernon Area
Crowdfunding For Novel
(Continued from page 6)
Scott told me that last year, he started a collaboration with Audrey to turn one of her superhero stories into a printed and bound family keepsake. But the project kept growing in complexity and Audrey lost interest and instead started focusing, once again, on her art. This left Scott in a very odd situation. He had this stor y which was the product of their collaboration that he had fallen in love with. Should he abandon it, or should he move forward and try to see how far he could take it? Could he show his daughter the positive results of sticking with a dream and not giving up? Could this story get published? Scott started studying storytelling and writing and realized if the story was to be good, he'd have to start applying the things he was learning. The result was Ordinary Everyday Isabelle, a 5,000-word middle grade novel with a science fiction theme. Scott started reaching out to other aspiring authors and beta-readers and a series of seemingly endless revisions and re-writes began. At long last, and at the verge of burning out on the project, Scott decided to send the first three chapters to Words Matter Publishing. After several weeks he was a little surprised to receive a request for the full manuscript. A few days later, the email came saying that Words Matter Publishing was interested in publishing the story. However, as a new author with no body of work behind him, no author's platform, or even a website, it was necessary that Scott would
have to raise part of production and marketing costs. The novel, itself, has an interesting premise. It's the story of a gifted elevenyear-old girl, Isabelle Cooley, who attends a STEM academy and excels in the field of robotics. Along with her two best friends, she has a run-in with the obnoxious (but brilliant) new girl at school, Crystal Skorch. Their scuffle sets the trio on a chain of events that puts them in contact with an extra-terrestrial artifact that grants them superpowers. They decide to keep these powers a secret and to become amateur superheroes. They find that being superheroes isn't so easy and end up doing more harm than good. When an online video of one of them in action goes viral, things start to fall apart. They catch the attention of the police as well as a pair of creepy figures that are now hunting them. When their friendships are pushed to the very edge, they seek answers from a once-respected astrophysicist who is now shunned from the scientific community for her acceptance of extra-terrestrial conspiracy theories. The girls learn that their powers come at a great cost and that many will suffer because of their decisions. Isabelle begins to realize that there's more to being a hero than having special powers. However, Crystal has ambitions of her own. Scott recently launched

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cheer up, Lamb. Your emotional impasse will lift once you allow your highly tuned sense of justice to guide you on what to do about an associate’s questionable behavior. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) News about a project you hoped to work on might need more clarification. Take nothing just on faith. Draw up a list of questions, and insist on each being fully answered. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Giving your time to help others is fine. But don’t lose sight of your own needs. Make plans for an energy-restoring getaway with that very special person in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulate yourself on getting that difficult job done to everyone’s satisfaction. This could be the first of many such challenges you might be offered down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) With your enthusiasm soaring again, you feel ready to tackle a tough new assignment. Good for you! And remember: Don’t be too proud to accept help when it’s offered. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Cupid rules the week for single Virgos eager to make a romantic connection. Meanwhile, Virgo couples experience renewed commitment in their relationships. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Home and work issues vie for your attention through early next
week. Rely on your Libran sense of balance to keep you from being overwhelmed by either side. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Creative projects might have to go on standby as you tackle other matters making demands on your time and energy. Things should ease by the middle of next week. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your energies are high, and so are your aspirations. But be careful not to let work dominate the week. It’s also important to spend time with family and friends. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It’s a good time to set aside your pride and stop nursing those hurt feelings. Instead, consider restoring relationships you want to have back in your life. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be miffed at not being shown more appreciation for your hard work. But don’t brood over it. Recognition comes in its own time and in its own way. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) With your inner creative juices starting to boil and bubble, this is a good time to launch a new arts-related project, or go back and restart the one you had set aside. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of seeing the best in people, which helps encourage them to live up to your perceptions. Š 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.
a Kickstarter campaign so that Words Matter Publishing can help turn the publication of this story into a reality. It's an all-or-nothing 30-day crowdfunding campaign, so there is no risk to you if you decide to become a backer. If 99% or less of his goal is achieved then there will be no charge to you and the publishing of Ordinary Everyday Isabelle will NOT become a reality. Only in the event of the goal being met will you be charged and the project will move forward. If the campaign is successful, backers will receive a reward. Backers can choose to pledge as much or as little as they want, but as the size of pledges goes up, so does the quality of the rewards. E-book rewards start at just $15, and your own paperback copy of the book will be awarded at the $25 level and so on. Remember, becoming a

backer of Ordinary Everyday Isabelle is so much more than just pre-ordering a book, it is becoming a virtual shareholder in the dream of one dad and his daughter. Let's band together and help Scott show his daughter that if she sets her heart and mind to a task that she really can achieve anything.
