KC Staff and faculty members send care packages The Kaskaskia College staff and faculty members continue to give back. Recently the entire campus sent several care packages and KC swag to Sgt. Ian Becker (husband of KC Vice President Dr. Ashley Becker) and his team deployed in Iraq. Sgt. Becker says of the packages received, “Thank you all for your generosity, thoughts, and prayers sent to my troops and I here in Iraq! The care packages sent to us were full of awesome snacks and useful items. Everyone here sends their individual thanks. I displayed the

handwritten thank you cards and notes on our wall of donators for everyone to see and read.” KC President George Evans says, “We were incredibly humbled by the response of the KC family when Ian was deployed. It is another prime example of what makes this institution such a wonderful place to work. I couldn’t be more proud of the staff and faculty for supporting Dr. Becker and her husband while he is away, and in harm’s way protecting this great nation.”

Gerald Chappell, Korean War Veteran, Grand Marshal for 4th of July Veterans Parade

Mayor Herb Williams in coordination with the Centralia Veteran Affairs Committee is proud to announce Mr. G era ld Chappell, a Korean War Veteran, as this year’s Grand Marshal for the 4th of July Veterans Parade. The parade ends in Fairview Park where a new Korean War Monument will be dedicated. Gerald “Jerry” Chappell was born in Centralia in 1935 and at the age of 17, he joined the Air Force and trained for the Fire Department. He served a year in Korea during the Korean War; his primary duty was to the fire station on the flight line where he was responsible for aircraft rescue and fire fighting operations. When he returned state side, he served at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington, DC until he completed four years of service and was honorably discharged. He joined the reserves and began work

at Scott Air Force Base as a civilian with the Fire Department. After 31 years of total service, he retired in 1985 with the rank of Captain. Jerry may be familiar to local families as he also was a bus driver for several schools. In 1996 he worked tirelessly to save the “Little Chapel” in Elmwood Cemeter y. Chappell’s immediate family also has significant service to the United States. Chappell’s wife, Ann, reports Jerry is one of 15 children, four of his brothers served and five of his brothers-in-laws also served as well as many of his nieces and nephews. She attributed at least 305 years given by Jerry’s family members to protect US citizens. The City is proud to acknowledge Mr. Chappell and other combatants from Centralia and the surrounding area. Please join us on Thursday, July

cases and what the outcomes were. Two insurance case outcomes are listed below. A bull jumped a fence and impregnated a Santa Grutuis cow. The owner of the cow sued because of the loss of value in the calf, and the owner was negligent for not properly confining the bull. The company paid as a liability claim.

our own country. In a letter to her husband John Adams, Abigail Adams wrote, “You cannot be, I know, nor do I wish to see you, an inactive spectator . . . We have many highsounding words and too few actions that correspond with them.” How can we celebrate and constantly guard the freedoms we have as a country and as children of God created in the image of God? The forefathers of our country recognized that there is a Creator that we must answer to, trust in, and obey. In the Declaration of Independence, they affirmed, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Let’s celebrate and constantly guard our freedom by these following truths. For Jesus said, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). A SPIRITUAL foundation is the true undergirding of any society or person. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34 NKJV). Unless the heart of man is changed and liberated from sin, selfishness, and self-centeredness no amount of government, education, wealth, or social welfare will maintain freedom. In John 8 Jesus dealt with the religious Pharisees and the irreligious adulteress. “’Let him who is without sin cast the first stone,’ he said” (John 8:1-12). All mankind has a heart issue of sin that must be dealt with. (Romans

3:23; 6:23) The SON of God came to set us free from the bondage of sin and death. “Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). We become sons and daughters of the “Revolution” when we realize and receive what Jesus did for us when he laid down his life on the cross for our sins, that we might be forgiven and set free. (John 1:12; 8:11-12) A SLAVE of sin or a SON of God, which are you? The religious Jews were proud of their heritage. “But Jesus said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed’” (John 8:34-36). Jesus came to set those enslaved by sin free and to make us sons and daughters of God. (Psalm 68:5-6) Satan endeavors to enslave nat ions and persons. (John 8:43-44) Those who put faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross receive sonship, freedom, and citizenship into the kingdom of God. SHARP-EYED vigilance must be maintained to guard our national and personal freedom from the enemy of our soul. (I Peter 5:1-11) The apostle Paul admonishes us, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1). Are you celebrating your freedom in Christ? Shalom, Cliff Sanders Eagle Life Ministries eagleslife8@gmail.com

Celebrate Your Freedom Fireworks boom and light up the night sky with a dazzling bouquet of color. The band strikes up the grand finale of John Philip Souza’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.” Families and friends have celebrated the 4th of July in communities across the country ever since the Declaration of Independence was signed and sealed with the blood and bravery of our forefathers in the Revolutionary War. We still celebrate and vigilantly guard the freedom purchased by those brave men and women. Still the red, white,

and blue waves over “the land of the free and home of the brave” because of those who have served and are serving in the military and elected offices throughout America. God bless the USA. Freedom is in the DNA of Americans. John Adams wrote, “But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American War? The Revolution was affected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.” May we not allow our freedoms to be taken away from us by timid politicians, tyrants, terrorists, or traitorous enemies of freedom working within

Working Togeth[ER] for emergency healthcare

By Cathy Stuehmeier There are a lot of good things happening in Centralia and the surrounding communities. One such thing in the works is a plan designed to expand and improve the emergency treatment rooms and transform emergency care at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in C e nt r a l i a . T h e n e w Emergency Department is one aspect of a total investment of $30 million over several years into SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, who employs 868 hometown people, making them the largest employer in Marion County. Their goal is to serve the citizens of the area for many years to come. SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital has made the commitment of $25 million, leaving $5 million for our community and SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation in Centralia to raise. Through the generosity of many, $2.5 million of the $5 million

has already been committed. Mr. Damon Harbison, President of SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital, presented this worthwhile project called Togeth[ER] in a meeting at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital on Friday, June 21. Those present were able to take a virtual tour of what will be Centralia’s newly designed and renovated emergency department that was last updated in 1982. So what’s included? • Double the square footage. • All private treatment rooms. • Expanded and modernized visitor lobby designed for the family’s needs during an emergency visit with a loved one. • A new patient and visitor entrance, separate from the ambulance entrance, a must for the new Emergency Department. • A new rapid medical examination unit for treat-

ment of emergent, but more minor illnesses and injuries which expedites care and improves flow throughout the ER. Also included: • Creation of four specifically designed rooms for patients who present to the E.R. with behavioral health conditions. • Two pediatric suites designed for the needs of children and their families. • Two dedicated resuscitation rooms for the most severely ill patients. • Two dedicated rooms for treatment and containment of infectious disease. • Addition of a new decontamination room inside the E.R. for prompt and safe removal of harmful chemicals. Any hospital is the cornerstone in their community. • They employ your friends and family members. • They care for your friends and family.

Pictured above is Damon Harbison, President of SSM St. Marys Centralia. • They provide economic viability. SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital has a legacy in this community that spans more than a century, regardless of ability to pay. Every community needs access to quality healthcare. However, a project of this magnitude would not be possible without everyone’s support.

SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital of Centralia remains a non profit organization. And working Togeth[ER], SSM Health St . Mar y ’s Ho s pit a l Foundation and our community leaders are committed to reaching their goal to serve the community with excellence so

Togeth[ER] we can all make a difference. Every dollar donated counts. All gifts are tax deductible for this project. Please consider today a donation. For more information you can contact Shawna Bullard, Regional Administrative Director of Fund Development at 618899-1047.

Red Cross urges donors to ﬁll Missing Types The _meric_n Red Cr_ss needs _l_ _d d_n_rs to bring back the missing A’s, B’s and O’s. A few missing letters may not seem like a big deal in a sentence, but for patients who need A, B, O and AB blood types, these missing letters mean life. The Red Cross urges donors of all blood types to give now to help prevent delays in medical care this summer. Six years ago, doctors told Jacqueline Rogers’ family that there wasn’t enough type O negative blood available to perform her open-heart surgery. This news that her surgery was postponed was scary for Jacqueline, just 8 at the time, who was born with a

congenital heart disorder. “No blood means no surgery. I thought I was going to die.” Fortunately, blood donors stepped up, and Jacqueline’s surgery was successfully completed a week later. To draw attention that blood types sometimes do go missing from hospital shelves, A’s, B’s and O’s began disappearing on June 11 from iconic brand logos, social media pages, signs and websites as part of the Missing Types campaign. The campaign is raising awareness of the need for more blood donors. While thousands of blood donors have answered the call to fill the Missing Types, more

donors are needed now to help ensure patients don’t have to wait for blood products. During the summer, especially around holidays like Independence Day, donations often don’t keep pace with patient needs. The Red Cross is thanking all those who come to donate July 1-6 with an exclusive Red Cross Missing Types T-shirt, while supplies last. 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).

out of the box, along with a few others. Someone needed to tell them they need to go to Mexico and run for “El Presidente.” Really, have these people lost all sense of reality? Yes, I know it was broadcast on Telemundo, but no one likes to be pandered to. After two nights, I realized there was absolutely nothing I could agree with any of them on except Tulsi Gabbard, who was only able to share her thoughts one time, briefly, and that was on Afghanistan. A combat veteran, she was adamant about it, saying, “After 17 years of fighting, it’s time to bring home the troops.” And then, of course, there was Julián Castro that wants to decriminalize crossing the border illegally. One hundred forty-four thousand illegals crossed the border last month alone. Why not hang out a welcome sign! So in the end, I would have to classify the two evenings with the candidates that participated as nothing more than a “food fight,” as many have coined it! What a mess! Their stand that I took away from the two nights (Wednesday and Thursday) was, in my opinion:

#1) It’s okay to keep killing babies, and the taxpayers should pay for it. #2) Have totally open borders. #3) Decriminalize crossing the border (come one, come all). #4) Free health care for all illegals. #5) Universal healthcare for all, on an already broken healthcare system. (God help our doctors and medical professionals.) This move will cause many rural hospitals to close their doors. #6) Gun control. Reading between the lines, it’s gun confiscation, make no mistake. #7) Socialism is their weapon of choice. #8) An education system that brainwashes instead of educates. And by the time our children leave the fifth grade they’ll wonder what gender they are! #9) More division that Obama brought back. #10) Government should take over or restrict corporations with impossible regulations. I could go on, but this total craziness sickens me! The highlights of the debates were when Bernie Sanders admitted that the middle class will be heavily

The big news of the week: • The first of many Democratic debates. • President Donald Trump stepped across the border into North Korea, becoming the first U.S. President to make this historic step. First up is the Democratic debates held last week on Wednesday and Thursday. After watching both nights I can clearly without hesitation state that President Donald J. Trump was the winner. I don’t know how many ways you can say what a waste of time. Twenty candidates qualified for the two nights of insanity and with the exception of one, I found myself trying to figure out: #1) How did they get this far? #2) Are these really the best candidates the Democratic Party has to offer? The first night started with Elizabeth Warren. Her first point was the economy is only doing great for the rich, those that have money. Begging to differ with her, I feel the middle class has had the largest windfall because of the healthy economy under Trump. Then there was Beto O’Rourke, who started speaking Spanish ten seconds

Wednesday, July 3, 2019 taxed for his healthcare plan. Andrew Yang wants to give every American $1,000 a month. And the entire group raised their hands to give illegals free healthcare. One candidate was as bad as the next. On night one it was obvious that Elizabeth Warren was the liberal media moderator’s fair-haired child; night two it was Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. In the end, I would have to say those running are way too far to the left and have a slash and burn attitude for the American way of life. According to a recent poll, 65% of those that watched the debate were 55 and older. The one to watch is Tulsi Gabbard, but she hasn’t a chance because of the liberal media. The Democratic Party to day has drast ica l ly changed! In a recent poll, 48% call themselves liberals, 48% call themselves moderate conservatives. My father, a Democrat, was a moderate conservative but was a far cry from being liberal. This is not my father’s Democratic Party. I was raised a Democrat, a friend to Paul Simon, Jerry Sinclair, Walter Shipp, and etc., just to mention a few. In my opinion, they too would take issue with what’s happening in their party today. On to Trump. Over the weekend President Donald J. Trump stepped over the border into North Korea. He met with Kim Jong-un at the DMZ. Trump became the first sitting U.S. President to accomplish this. While the Democrats attack him for this move, I say congratulations. I give him credit for trying. In closing, let me wish you and yours a safe and happy Fourth of July. God Bless! Until next week.

Cooking With Lizzie

Favorite Peach Recipes Centuries ago the peach was so rare and costly a commodity in Europe (it had to be imported by way of Oriental trade routes) that gardeners across the continent developed techniques to grow it themselves. No such problem existed in America. It's a matter of fact Thomas Jefferson proudly wrote to a friend, "We abound in the luxury of the peach, there being as fine here now as I've ever seen anywhere." When I did a lot of canning, July was the month for peaches. When this sweet succulent fruit was ripe enough, then it was off to the kitchen. One secret my grandmother gave me — among a million other lessons on life — was when canning peaches you need to put a peach seed or two in each jar. She said the reason was to keep them from turning brown and keep them as fresh as the day they were picked. And like always, she was right! Some of my favorite recipes are below.

Peach Shortcake 3 cups peeled, thickly sliced peaches 2 T. honey Shortcake: Sweet Biscuit Dough (made with nutmeg) Cream Topping: 1 cup heavy cream 2 T. confectioners’ sugar

1 T. lemon juice

1 tsp. granulated sugar

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg Fresh mint sprigs for garnish

In medium bowl, toss peach slices with honey and lemon juice to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Preheat oven to 425°F. On floured surface, roll out biscuit dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut in six 3-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter. Arrange biscuits 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with 1 tsp. sugar. Bake at 425°F for 12 minutes until golden brown. Cool on rack. Whip cream with confectioners’ sugar and nutmeg to stiff peaks. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. To serve, split biscuits in half horizontally. Place bottom halves of biscuits on 6 dessert plates. Reserve a few peach slices for garnish. Spoon remaining sliced peaches atop biscuit bottoms. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and then the biscuit tops. Garnish with spoonfuls of whipped cream, reserved peaches, and mint sprigs. Yield: 6 servings.

Sweet Biscuit Dough 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 2 T. sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg or ground cinnamon 3 T. shortening 2 T. unsalted butter, cut in small pieces 3/4 cup buttermilk

In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spice. Mix well. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk to form a soft dough. Turn out on well-floured surface. Knead gently with fingertips about 10 strokes until smooth. Do not overwork dough or biscuits will be tough. Yield: Six 3-inch or fourteen 2-inch" biscuits.

Peach-Almond Tart Pastry: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup ground almonds 2 T. confectioners' sugar 1/4 tsp. salt Filling: 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches 2 T. orange juice 1/2 tsp. almond extract 1 T. cornstarch 3 T. granulated sugar

6 T. unsalted butter, cut in small pieces 1 egg yolk 3 T. ice water 1/4 cup sliced almonds 1 T. granulated sugar 2 T. unsalted butter, cut in small pieces

Combine flour, ground almonds, confectioners' sugar, and salt in large bowl. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in 6 T. butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg yolk and water together in small bowl. Add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until all is moistened. Gather dough into a ball. Form dough into a disk shape. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 12-inch circle. Fit into 10-inch tart pan. Trim edges. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. Preheat oven to 425 ° F. Line pastry with double thickness of foil. Fill with dried beans. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Continue baking pastry shell 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on rack. Preheat oven to 375°F. In large bowl toss peaches with orange juice and almond extract. In small bowl, combine cornstarch and 3 T. sugar. Mix well. Sprinkle over peach mixture and toss gently to combine. Arrange peach slices in concentric circles in cooled tart shell. Drizzle with any juice left in bowl. Top with sliced almonds and sprinkle with remaining 1 T. sugar. Dot with 2 T. butter. Bake at 375°F for 45 to 50 minutes until peaches are tender and juices are bubbling near center. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 6 to 8 servings. *** 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.

Sleep better at night

he National Sleep Foundation notes that adults between the ages of 26 and 64 need an average of seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Such a sleep schedule may be ideal, but many adults juggling work and family find it difficult to get seven hours of sleep per night, much less eight or nine.

While there may not be any way for adults to get more sack time at night, there are ways for men and women to get a better night’s rest so they can approach each day with as much energy as possible. • Stick to a schedule. Keeping a sporadic sleeping schedule can make it difficult to get the kind of re-

storative sleep that can help you maintain adequate energy levels throughout the day. To ensure you get a better night’s sleep, go to sleep at the same time each night and wake up at the same time each day. Try to stay true to your sleep schedule on weekends, resisting the temptation to sleep in later or stay up late

on Friday and Saturday nights. • Nap eﬀectively. Men and women who have the time to sneak in a nap may find that napping is a more effective way to make up for inadequate sleep than sleeping in late in the morning. Effective napping allows men and women to recharge without affecting their ability to fall asleep at night. Napping in the early afternoon and keeping nap time to between 20 and 30 minutes can provide the energy boost you need and help you make it through the after-dinner hours without feeling drowsy. Such drowsiness can lead to post-dinner periods of dozing that can make it difficult to fall asleep come bedtime. • Adopt a nighttime ritual. The NSF notes that a relaxing nighttime ritual that is noticeably different from the hustle and bustle of the rest of your day can help your body adjust for sleep, increasing the chance that you will get a more restful night’s sleep. Relaxing ways to unwind before climbing into to bed to fall asleep including reading a book, listening to

calming music or taking a warm bath. Once you find something that works, stick with it. • Find time to exercise. Studies have shown that men and women who exercise regularly benefit from more restful nights’ sleep. Finding the right time to exercise is essential, as many people find that exercising right before bed elevates their heart and stimulates their body in ways that make it difficult to fall asleep. Exercising in the early morning can provide more energy throughout the day, and come bedtime your body might be more ready to fall asleep. However, if you find yourself exercising at the expense of your sleep, try

to find another time to get your workout in. • Ensure your bedroom is sleep-friendly. The NSF recommends maintaining a relatively cool temperature between 60 and 67 F in your bedroom for sleeping. In addition, eliminate any potential distractions, such as light and noise, that can negatively affect your ability to fall asleep. Humidifiers, eye shades or even machines that generate white noise can effectively counter any distractions that you cannot get rid of on your own. A good night’s sleep is essential to human health. Men and women struggling to get adequate, beneficial sleep can employ a host of strategies to improve their quality of life.

Encourage physical activity in your kids

ccording to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, children and adolescents should engage in physical activity for 60 minutes or more each day. Parents hoping to instill a love of physical activity in their youngsters may find that taking a more active role by exercising with their kids is an effective way to get them off the couch and away from their computer screens. • Turn errands into exercise opportunities. Many parents take their children along with them when running errands. When such errands don’t necessarily require the use of a car, consider riding bicycles instead. • Include kids in your own athletic pursuits. Parents might not be able to take younger kids along with them to the gym, but that does not mean your youngsters must be excluded from all of your athletic pursuits. If you have any upcoming athletic activities or challenges on your schedule, such as a new recreational sports season or community fun run or 5K, let kids tag along as you train or practice. Take kids along with you

on trips to the gym so they learn the value and benefits of daily strength and conditioning exercises. • Make more time to play. Parents may already have busy schedules, but finding time to play with their kids is a great way to get youngsters to embrace physical activity. Kids might be reluctant to shoot hoops in the driveway if no one is willing to join them, but they will likely be far more willing to do so if mom and dad are willing to play with them. This is not only a good way for parents to ensure their kids get enough exercise, but also a great and fun way for moms and dads to make time for physical activity. • Recognize that physical activity does not have to mean organized sports. Some kids have no interest in team sports while others do not have the athletic ability to compete after a certain age. There are plenty of ways to be physically active that do not involve organized team sports. Hiking; riding bicycles; swimming at a nearby pool, lake or ocean; and even going for nightly walks are all physical activities that people of all ages and athletic abilities can enjoy.

Simple and natural ways to lower blood pressure

igh blood pressure is a big problem. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. In Canada in 2014, slightly less than 18 percent of Canadians ages 12 and older reported being diagnosed with high blood pressure. While such figures might be frightening, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that there are some simple and natural ways for people to lower their high blood pressure. • Opt for heart-healthy foods. Instead of foods that are high in sodium, eat a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Check

labels before buying prepared foods at the grocery store, as many such foods are high in sodium. • Look for foods that contain probiotics. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that studies have linked foods that contain probiotics to healthy blood pressure. Probiotics are consumable live bacteria, and while studies regarding the relationship between probiotics and blood pressure are ongoing, researchers believe probiotics may produce chemicals that, when absorbed in the blood stream, may activate receptors in the blood vessels to lower blood pressure. • Lose weight. People with high blood pressure who are carrying a few extra pounds should know that research indicates

Tips for good kidney health

ew people devote much t houg ht to t heir kidneys unless their doctor advises them they are having kidney troubles. But kidneys perform essential functions in the human body, filtering water and waste out of blood and urine while also helping to control blood pressure. When operating correctly, kidneys can go a long way toward ensuring a healthy life. But when kidneys are compromised, the results can be very harmful to human health. Kidney disease is no small cause for concern, as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that more than 20 million Americans may have kidney disease, with millions more being at risk. Kidney disease may be even more problematic in Canada, where the Kidney Foundation of Canada reports that one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease. Though family history is one risk factor for kidney disease, it’s not just genetics that put people at risk. People with diabetes, high blood pressure and/or cardiovascular disease are also at risk of developing kidney disease, which develops gradually and does not often produce physical symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. Because people may not detect symptoms of kidney

disease until it reaches an advance d st age, t he NIDDK recommends people schedule routine blood tests to check their glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, which checks to see how well kidneys are filtering. The NIDDK also notes the importance of routine urine tests, which check for protein in urine. The presence of the protein albumin in urine indicates kidney damage. In addition to routine screenings, people can take the following steps to maintain healthy kidneys so they can live long, healthy and active lives. • Maintain a healthy blood pressure. A healthy blood pressure can delay or prevent the onset of kidney disease. The American Heart Association advises that a normal healthy blood pressure is a systolic number (the top number) less than 120 and a diastolic number (the bottom number) less than 80. The systolic number measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Have your blood pressure measured by your physician on each visit (and no less than once per year), and speak with him or her about ways to lower your blood pressure if it is high or if your blood pressure falls in the prehypertension

range (120-139 over 80-89), which means you are at risk of developing high blood pressure. • Reduce sodium consumption. One simple way to protect your kidneys is to consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day. Though sodium serves some essential functions in the body, helping it to regulate blood pressure among other things, people with kidney disease cannot eliminate excess sodium and fluid from their bodies. The resulting buildup in the tissues and bloodstream can contribute to high blood pressure. • Limit alcohol intake. The NIDDK advises that limiting alcohol intake can help to keep kidneys healthy and operating at full strength. Alcohol impacts the body in various ways, and kidneys are not immune to the effects of alcohol. Alcohol can cause changes in the kidneys that compromise their ability to filter blood. Alcohol also can affect the ability of kidneys to maintain the right amount of water in the body. That’s because alcohol consumed in excess dehydrates the body, making it harder for cells and organs, including the kidneys, to function normally. Speak with your physician about your alcohol consumption and what is considered healthy for someone in your situa-

tion. • Consume a kidneyfriendly diet. The right diet also can help people maintain healthy kidneys. A diet that includes kidneyfriendly foods can prevent the buildup of waste in the kidneys while also helping people maintain healthy blood pressures. The National Kidney Foundation notes that foods such as apples, blueberries, fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, and kale are just a few kidney-friendly foods. Healthy kidneys can contribute to long, healthy lives. Learn more about the kidneys at www.kidney.org.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Get your facts together and become familiar with them before you have to face up to that interview. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be to make that important impression. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) New information might warrant changing your mind about a recently made decision. Never mind the temporary confusion it might cause. Acting on the truth is always preferable. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Creating a loving atmosphere for those you care for could pay off in many ways. Expect to hear some unexpected but very welcome news that can make a big difference in your life. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Stepping away from an old and seemingly insoluble problem might be helpful. Use the time to take a new look at the situation and perhaps work out a new method of dealing with it. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You’re still in a favorable goal-setting mode. However, you might need to be a little more realistic about some of your aims. Best to reach for what is currently doable. The rest will follow. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A setback is never easy to deal with. But it could be a boon in disguise. Recheck your proposal and strengthen the weak spots. Seek advice from someone who has “been there and done that.” LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Coming up with a new way of handling a tedious job-regulated

chore could lead to more than just a congratulatory memo once the word reaches the “right people.” Good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) What you might call determination, someone else might regard as stubbornness. Look for ways to reach a compromise that won’t require a major shift of views on your part. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’re still in a vulnerable mode vis-a-vis “offers” that sound too good to be true. So continue to be skeptical about anything that can’t be backed up with provable facts. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Thrift is still dominant this week. What you don’t spend on what you don’t need will be available for you to draw on should a possible (albeit temporary) money crunch hit. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Staying close to home early in the week allows for some introspection about your social life. Sort out your feelings before rejoining your funtime fellows on the weekend. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It can be a bit daunting as well as exciting to find yourself finally taking action on a long-delayed move for a change. It helps to stay with it when others rally to support you. BORN THIS WEEK: Your love of home and family provide you with the emotional support you need to find success in the outside world. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.
