Come August, flourishing backyard gardens, bustling farmers markets and roadside stands make it apparent that summer's bounty is ripe for preserving and pickling. I was fortunate I was taught early on by a mother, grandmother and great grandmother that knew the art of canning and pickling. The art of canning has changed very little in the last 200 years. Below are some basic instructions as well as some recipes to inspire you. Go ahead and try your hand at it; there's nothing more satisfying than looking at your efforts lined up on the shelves.

5 Tips For Canning
Locally Owned & Operated since 1988
www.superiorwindowsandsiding.com
Rule # 1 is Cleanliness
1. LEARN IT. When using the most up-to-date information, canning is safe and satisfying. The USDA Guide to Home Canning and the Ball Blue Book are two easy-to-follow resources for canning how-to. 2. CHOOSE IT. Fruit and vegetables just at their peak of ripeness are best for canning. Produce that is overripe, bruised, or spoiling won't taste as good and could promote dangerous bacterial growth. 3. PLAN IT. Rather than attempting to preserve huge quantities all at once, try to keep canning projects manageable and safe by packing only about eight jars of food per each canning session. 4. STORE IT. Thoroughly rinse and dry all sealed jars before placing in the pantry. Any questionable seals and non-USDA-recommended jars should be reserved only for short-term refrigerator storage. 5. MONITOR IT. Label jars to help ensure food safety. Include the food type and canning and expiration dates. Examine closely and discard jars with loosened seals or bubbles which can indicate the presence of harmful bacteria. Canning Jars: Ball, Weck, Sur La Table.

Open Air Artist Captures The Moment
STION E U Q OF THE
By Julie Allen
Meet Spencer Meagher, plein air artist. The French phrase plein air means “open air” and is used to describe artists who do their work on location instead of inside a studio. Meagher has called Southern Illinois his home for thirty years. For the past decade, he has painted scenes in our local communities and sold them through his website and art events. On the day of this interview, the subject of his painting was Dancing Girl by Alexander Zeitin, a sculpture of a leaping woman on the grounds of Cedarhurst Center for the Arts. “We don’t want to create a photograph of her,” Meagher explained. “We want to create an impression. We want to capture the moment.” He rinsed his
brush and proceeded to paint and chat. His interest in plein air art began when he attended an art show in Indiana, where he was surprised to find more than 120 artists displaying this type of work. Meagher was captivated and started setting up his easel in the throb of everyday life. “You get to see someone’s community with fresh eyes,” he said. “People are amazed at what we see that they had never thought of as being beautiful.” People are amazed, and interested in learning the technique. He currently teaches weekly classes in Mt. Vernon, but he has also been approached by artists in Italy and Croatia, inviting him to teach workshops abroad.

At one point during our conversation, the sun peeked from behind a cloud and Meagher seized a teaching opportunity. “See how the light is making that area behind the woman bright, now? We want to capture that light, embellish
it.” Minutes later, the sky was again overcast, and the statue had settled to her original greenish hue. But Meagher had brought the sun down to his canvas, capturing the moment right here in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.

Jefferson County Historical Society Working To Restore Past Lieutenant Governor's Grave There is a lot of history in Mt. Vernon’s Old Union Cemetery. Established in 1820, it is the final resting place of many of Jefferson County’s pioneers and early historical figures. Prime among these are the graves of two Lieutenant Governors of Illinois – Zadok Casey who was elected in 1830 and Stinson Anderson who took office in 1838. But while Zadok Casey’s grave plot is dominant in the cemetery with a large tombstone and a wrought iron fence, Stinson Anderson’s grave site is hardly noticeable. In fact, his grave marker for many years was lost to sight as it had fallen down and was
hidden by brush. The Jefferson County Historical Society is working to restore Stinson Anderson’s grave site and bring his historical importance to the notice of the people of Jefferson County and Mt. Vernon. Members of the historical society located his grave stone, but found that it had broken in such a way as to be impossible to be fixed and reset. Therefore, the society is purchasing and installing a replacement stone. The original 1857 marker will be displayed inside the Schweinfurth Museum and Interpretive Center adjacent to Old Union Cemetery on North

27th Street. In addition, the stone of Anderson’s wife was also broken and is being repaired. A modern steel fence similar in appearance to the wrought iron one enclosing the Casey family plot will be placed around the Anderson plot to give it more presence and importance. A dedication ceremony is planned for a later date. Due to the considerable cost of this project, the Jefferson County Historical Society invites you to help by contributing funds to the effort.

It may come as a shock to many t h is we ek . However, let me start this column by saying I was disappointed in the statement our President made to Vladimir Putin during the meeting between the two in Helsinki, Finland as he defended Putin from claims of election interference. I was also disappointed in him pointing a finger at the FBI and CIA, although both agencies have questionable behavior and have been less than fair to Donald Trump, especially the FBI. I've said it before and I'll say it again, two wrongs never make a right. And across the board in the

last survey, only 33% of Americans approved of the statements he made. But within 48 hours, Trump was stepping it back and admitted he misspoke. That's more than former President Obama did when caught on an open mike as he said to a Russian diplomat he'd have more latitude after the election. Actually, his exact statement was, "This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility." Where was the outrage? The fact remains that Donald Trump's policy against Russia has been very, very strong. It's a fact that when

Trump says there's never been a president as tough on Russia as he has been, it's not just rhetoric, but is the truth. This administration has been tougher on Russia than any president in the post-Cold War era. In military spending alone, Trump sought to add $1.4 billion for Fiscal Year 2018 to the European Deterrence Initiative, a military effort to deter Russian aggression. That's a 40% increase from the last year of the Obama administration. This president also agreed to send lethal weapons to Ukraine, a step Obama resisted. Trump also gave our forces in Syria more leverage to engage with Russian troops. The Trump administration has also imposed sanctions on dozens of Russian government officials. Trump has aggressively promoted U.S. energy exports. And just last week, even though Trump's actions speak louder than words, he said, "If we could develop a relationship which is good for Russia, good for us, good for everybody, that would be great." And to that I agree. And who would disagree, except the far left, who have been upset since Trump won, without Russian interference as much as the left would have you believe. Trey Gowdy III, a former
federal prosecutor serving as the U.S. Representative from South Carolina, said last Sunday morning he has not seen one shred of evidence of collusion and that this President has not colluded with Russia and neither has anyone else. Going back to what Trump has said all along, "This is nothing more than a witch hunt." On to the new mouthpieces of the Socialist Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. When I say that, trust, I'm not putting all democrats in that category. There are still, fortunately, some conservative democrats left. So less than four weeks after stunning the political establishment in a New York House primar y, 28-year-old s o cialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her sidekick, former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders stepped on the national campaign stage from New York to the Heartland. Their platform is pure socialism, pointing out "change is tough," when it comes to what they stand for, like forgive all student loans, get rid of ICE, open borders, free housing for all, ending capitalism, and medicare for all. In my opinion, they should both go to Venezuela. Welcome to the far left! I wonder what our founding fathers would think. I know what I think, and it's not printable. In closing, the 2018 election is just over 100 days away. If the far left keeps it up, they'll give this one away, especially when the 28-year-old socialist, Ms. Cortez continues to look and sound like an idiot. Her latest comment was, "The reason the unemployment rate is so low is everyone has two jobs." Someone needs to muzzle her. Until next week.

among your colleagues. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked, once again, to help work things out. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The workweek keeps you busy tying up loose ends and checking data that needs to be verified. The weekend offers a chance to relax and restore your spent energies. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is not the best time to go to extremes to prove a point. Better to set a sensible goal now and move forward. There’ll be time later to take the bolder course. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A step-by-step progression is the better way to move ahead. Taking shortcuts could be risky at this time. Important news arrives on the 1st. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Avoid getting drawn into workplace disputes that should be handled by those directly involved. Instead, spend your energy developing those new ideas. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You still need to be prudent about money matters. But things start to ease by the end of the week. A weekend encounter with an old friend brings welcome news. BORN THIS WEEK: You handle challenging situations with boldness when necessary and caution when called for.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your zeal for challenges usually works well for you. But this week it’s best to avoid jumping into new situations without more information. Vital news emerges by the weekend. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Once again, the Bovine’s patience pays off as that pesky problem works itself out without taking too much of your valuable time. A new task opens interesting possibilities. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Those suggestions you want to share need to be set aside for a while so you can focus on the job at hand. There’ll be time later to put your ideas into a workable format. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be sure about your sources before you use the information in any decision you reach about your new project. Some of the data might be out of date or misinterpreted. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A sudden challenge might rattle you at first. But pump up that strong Lion’s heart with a full measure of courage, and face it with the continuing support of family and friends.

EAGLE LIFE
Ministries by: Cliff Sanders
there are many ways to God and that one does not need the cross to make it to heaven. Some churches have taken down all emblems of the cross so as not to offend visitors or seekers. Many preachers never mention the cross of Christ in their sermons. The devil must be smiling with glee, for he hates the cross. The Bible reveals that without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. (Hebrews 9:22; Matthew 26:28) The cross is the central theme of the Bible. The apostle Paul preached and wrote of the cross perhaps more than any other person. Consider these aspects of the cross. THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS. Paul
The Cross I have a beautiful cross in my office. It was given to me by a friend in Texas, who had carved it from a mesquite tree. One day, to my dismay, I noticed a pile of white power-like substance around the base of the cross. I swept it up, but a few days later there was another pile. I called my friend Dub Hayes, who owns a pest control company, and asked him about what could be happening to my cross. He explained that no doubt there was a certain beetle that was eating on it from the inside out. He offered to stop by and treat it for me. There are many enemies of the cross. The so called emerging church teaches that
declares, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (I Corinthians 1:17-18) Fancy speech, fables, and folly can’t save a sin sick soul, only the preaching of the cross of Christ can. Only the precious blood of Jesus could purchase our redemption. (I Peter 1:19) THE OFFENSE OF THE CROSS. The cross is an offense to the world. (Galatians 6:11) The scriptures say, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13) Jesus bore the shame and curse of sin
Wednesday, July 25, 2018
for all men. (Isaiah 53:5) Many wear a cross around their neck, but I ask you, do you know the man who died on that cross for you? THE GLORY OF THE CROSS. I tremble at this verse, “But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world.” (Galatians 6:14) The cross changes everything – EVERYTHING! The old hymn “Near the Cross” says, “In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever . . .” THE DEATH OF THE CROSS. “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross.” (Philippians 2:7-8) Do you understand what price Jesus paid for your salvation? The death on the cross. Don’t just wear a cross, we are called to be crucified with Christ to our flesh and to daily bear our cross as his disciples. (Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14; Romans 6:6) THE PEACE OF THE CROSS. “And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself.” (Colossians 1:20) Peace with God is yours only through faith in the blood of Christ shed on the cross. We find shadows and prophetic types of the cross all through the Old Testament. One such example
is the law of the cleansing of a leper. The cleansed leper was to come to the priest and bring two birds (probably doves) with him. One bird was slain and then cedarwood, scarlet, and hyssop was to be sprinkled with the blood under running water, as well as on the live bird. The live bird was then released. What a vivid image of the atonement and cleansing of the cross. (Leviticus 14:117) Do you know the one who died on the cross for the sins of the world? Don’t just wear a cross, bear the cross of Christ. Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com
