At the September 6 Southern Illinois Networking Association meeting, members learned about the community image committee presented by Marcus Holland, director of the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce. The presentation started with an introduction by Myra Bartlett, chamber board president and image committee member. She discussed the past projects completed by the image committee and the great things the City of Centralia has done recently to improve the image of the community. “We are at the beginning of a new conversation with the new image committee. We have new leadership with Damon Harbison, president of SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital. We have had one official meeting as the full image committee and the leadership team has met several times,” said Holland

According to the presentation, the goals of the image committee are to develop marketing for the community’s current resources, to improve the perception of the community, and to attract visitors to the community. “There are many moving parts that are all connected: The tasks and subcommittees of the image committee, the workshops and leadership training of the Chamber of Commerce, and the networking of businesses and community,” said Holland. The Chamber Workshops started on Tuesday, September 4, with “Five Strategies to Recruit a n d R e t a i n Yo u n g Professionals in Rural Areas” taught by Pam Schallhorn of the University of Illinois Extension community education department. “We have seen a decline in the number of working people in Centralia.

Now, there is a noticeable age gap in our organizations and community leaders. The focus of these workshops and our image committee is to attract the people who are 20 to 50 years old to come back to Centralia,” said Holland during the SINA presentation. The image committee plans to attract young people by offering quality of life services and events. In turn, the current residents and older generations will also be able to take advantage of a better com-

munity and positive direction. “We want to focus on all of the good things that we already have here. We have beautiful parks, a great recreation complex, two wineries, local businesses, Kaskaskia College, a fullservice hospital, and the people! These are all reasons we choose to live here,” said Holland. For more information on the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce, the image committee, or the Chamber Workshops, please contact the chamber office at 618-532-6789 or email marcus@centralichamber.com.

You Can Help Blood Supply Match Patient Diversity The American Red Cross urges people of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need. The vast majority of blood types fall into one of the major ABO groups. However, some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. Twelve-year-old Braden Green required blood transfusions to treat complications from sickle cell disease. “It saved his life, that blood transfusion,” said his mom, Brenda Green. “A blood donation can give a patient another chance at life or an opportunity to get through the day.” Blood given to patients with rare blood types or those who need repeated transfusions for conditions such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia must be matched very closely. Patients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar racial or ethnic background. All blood types are needed to ensure that the right blood product is available at the right time for all patients.

Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). As a thank-you, those who come to donate blood or platelets through Sept. 30, 2018, will receive a coupon via email for a free haircut at participating Sport Clips locations. More information is available at RedCrossBlood. org/sport-clips.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below. Marion County Sept. 19, 2018: 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., Moose Family Center, 1824 South Poplar, Centralia, IL Sept. 22, 2018: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Salem Township Hospital, 1201 Ricker Drive, Salem, IL Sept. 23, 2018: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m., St. Theresa of Avila Catholic Church, 812 West Main, Salem, IL

First and foremost this week is Hurricane Florence that's already claimed lives and created great devastation for men, women, children and beasts. And it's not going to be over in a few days. Tropical Depression Florence has caused heavy flooding and wind damage in the Carolinas. Residents will face the heavy challenges of cleaning up, repairing and rebuilding their lives for a long time. If you want to help there are some suggestions below. Sending money is the best way to help, and North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced that the State is accepting donations to help meet the immediate needs of the people affected by the hurricanes. You can contribute online or by texting Florence to 20222. And there's the Red Cross where you can donate online or by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or texting RED CROSS to 90999. If you send donations to the United Way, one hundred percent of your individual donation will go to local United Way groups. The Charleston Animal Society, and area shelters are also encouraging people outside the affected storm area to foster or adopt. My thoughts and prayers are with the folks in Florence's path. On to the last week's craziness. First up, Paul Manafort flips. One of the leaders of the resistance group, Adam (Shifty) Schiff (D), U. S. Representative for California's 28th Congressional District, said last week that, "Paul Manafort is the most likely to help us." If I

had interviewed him I would have asked him, "Who is us?" Of course, liberal Chuck Todd of Meet the Press let that one slide. But what's new! Schiff also said last week, "Any move to pardon Manafort, or dangle a pardon, would be a further act of obstruction of justice." Sorry folks, but coming from this wide-eyed wonder it's almost a joke, if it weren't so sad. The fact is Manafort did take a plea deal and will cooperate with Special counsel. He's 69 years old, looking at ten years and spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement. A White House spokesman has said this has "nothing to do" with the President. And rest assured, as long as this witch hunt has gone on, if there was any collusion we would already know it. God knows the Democrats have looked under every rock. On to Diane Feinstein. At the last minute (before the final vote to confirm Kavanaugh) she sent a letter to the Justice Department accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, allegedly, when he was in high school. Of course, Ms. Feinstein has had this letter since July (three months). She's just now bringing it to the table. She said the letter came from a woman who wanted to stay anonymous, and declined to detail the letter's content. Are they serious? This letter allegedly was coordinated by Stanford University, where Adam Schiff attended from 1978 to 1982. Imagine that!

Oh, the webs they weave. In my mind this is an all time low. Future Justice Kavanaugh has been through six FBI background checks and nothing has been found. The whole hearing of Brett Kavanaugh has been a threering circus, a disgrace. No fair-minded citizen can disagree that Kavanaugh is more than qualified. During the hearings the Democrats violated every rule. There were 240 protesters who interrupted these hearings. It went from bad to worse. The problem, in my opinion, they want activist liberal judges, those who will continue to rewrite the Constitution. So can a letter containing an alleged 35-year-old secret derail this nomination? NO! The vote, in my opinion, will be straight down party lines and Kavanaugh will be confirmed! And so he should be! At press time the alleged accuser of Brett Kavanaugh for sexual misconduct has come forward. She is a professor at a University in California and only "remembered" the incident in 2012, six years ago. That says it all! This is a last ditch effort to stop the confirmation. These are very dangerous times, my friends. let me leave you this week with a quote from a wise man. I have used the phrase a number of times — extreme liberals. And last week I had a closer look at people like Diane Feinstein, Adam Schiff, and a number of others. Referring to Diane Feinstein, one of my friends pointed out, "She is not liberal, none of them are. They are totalitarian fascist communists hiding under a label." And coming from another wise man last week, another profound statement, "In a generation no one will recognize the country." To that I also agree, if it keeps going the way it's going. Until next week. To comment on this or any column in The Shopper’s Weekly, please mail to: Editor, P.O.

Marion County Selected To Receive Funding Marion County has been selected to receive an appropriation of $19,985 by Congress to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in Marion County. Emergency Food and Shelter Program is reserving a portion of these funds for the State SetAside (SSA) process. Under the set aside program, each state receives a minimum of $250,000 and counties that may not have received funding in the original allocation can possibly qualify based upon the unemployment rate, if they: • Previously qualified for the program, but no longer meet the established formula and demonstrate high levels of need. • Have unusually high levels of unemployment or poverty, but do not meet the minimum 300 unemployed cut-off. • Have pockets of homelessness or poverty and do not qualify for direct funding; or, • Are experiencing recent negative economic changes, such as plant closings. The National Board is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from the United Way of America, The American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, United Jewish Communities, Catholic Charities, and the National C ouncil of Churches. A local board is charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas in the county. A local board made up of The United Way of South Central Illinois, The Red Cross, Catholic Charities, the Salvation Army, area church representatives and

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Looking For His Coming I was talking with a lady recently who is going through some sorrows. I said to her, “Jesus is coming soon.” She replied, “You’ve been saying that for a hundred years!” I laughed and replied, “Yes, but the church has been proclaiming the coming of the Lord for over 2,000 years! Think about how much closer we are to Christ’s return.” The return of Jesus to this world is called “The blessed hope.” It’s a motivating factor of the Christian life. “Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” (Titus 2:1115) The Bible tells us that Jesus is coming for them that look for his coming. I want to be in that number that are looking earnestly for his coming. As the old hymn says, “It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus.” How then shall we then live in the light of the Lord’s soon coming? REJOICING IN HOPE. Film maker Michael Moore said that people should not live in hope but live for today. The reality is that without hope, people die. The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven is called “The blessed hope.” Jesus will rule in righteousness, justice, and peace. “And rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” (Romans 5:2) “Whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory.” (I Peter 1:8) REPENTING. If Jesus can come at any time, then we need to repent and keep repenting of any sin that would separate us from the blessed Lord and

the catching away of the church — the “bride of Christ.” “Repent and be baptized . . . in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” (Acts 2:38) Jesus says to the church, “Remember, therefore, how you have received and heard and hold fast and repent. If, therefore, you shall not watch, I will come for you as a thief and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.” (Revelation 3:3) READING THE SIGNS. Jesus said that no one knows the day nor hour of his return. (Matthew 24:36) But he did give certain signs of his coming. You can see many of them in Matthew 24 that have been fulfilled or are being fulfilled right before our eyes. When the fig tree buds is a parable given by Jesus. (Matthew 24:32-34) Jesus said when it buds know that we are in the generation of his coming. I believe the fig tree is Israel. Israel became a nation again in 1948. I believe Jesus is coming during my lifetime. He gave many other signs and

warned us to be ready for his return. (Matthew 24:37-44) Ezekiel prophesied of the restoration of Israel to their land in the end times. (Ezekiel 37:1523) He also prophesied of an end time war when certain nations would come against Israel. They will be led by Russia to “take spoil and take prey.” God will fight for Israel and bring destruction upon those nations. (Ezekiel 38) These nations are presently aligned and poised. REAPING. If Jesus is coming soon, then we must be about our master’s business. On September 11, 2018 I was driving through the country and saw farmers picking corn with their combines, the first of the season here. We must be diligent in the work of the Lord. Jesus gave us the parable of the unfaithful servant in Mat t h e w 2 4 : 4 5 - 5 1 . “Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.” (Matthew 24:46) READY FOR HIS COMING. “Therefore, be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the son of man comes.” (Matthew 24:44; II Peter 3:9-14) Jesus is coming soon! Are you ready?

ANY SIZE INSTALLED STARTING AT

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Aspects favor new romances for unpaired Ewes and Rams. Alreadypaired Arian twosomes experience renewed harmony in their relationships. Money matters also take a bright turn. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Use that strong Bovine determination to help you keep the faith with your convictions while you move through a period of uncertainty. Things begin to ease by the week’s end. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Pay attention to your intuition. It could be alerting you to be more careful about accepting a “statement of fact” simply on trust. Don’t be shy about asking for more proof. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Concern for the well-being of someone in need is admirable. But don’t forget to take care of yourself as well. Ask a family member, close friend or colleague to help you. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s OK to focus on the demands of your career. But try to avoid misunderstandings by also reaching out to family and friends. Your sharp intuitive sense kicks in by midweek. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Keep a rein on that green-eyed monster. Jealousy is counterproductive. Instead of resenting a colleague’s good points, concentrate on developing your own abilities. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Spending time on a creative proj-

ect during this high-energy week can pay off both in emotional satisfaction and in impressing someone who is glad to see this side of you. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Now is a good time to start planning that trip you’ve put off because of the demands on your time. Be sure to choose a destination that is new and exciting. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That upbeat mood in the first part of the week makes you eager to take on new ventures. A more serious note sets in later to help you assess an upcoming decision. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A high energy level gives the Goat the get-up-and-go to finish outstanding tasks before deadline, leaving time for well-earned fun and games with friends and family. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Dealing with disappointment is never easy. But the wise Aquarian will use it as a vital lesson and be the better for it. A close friend has something important to say. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Best bet is not to get involved in an argument between colleagues until you know more about who started it and why. And even then, appearances could be deceiving. Be alert. BORN THIS WEEK: You have creative gifts that inspire those who get to see this sometimes-hidden side of you. © 2018 King Features Synd., Inc.
