� e Illinois State Dental Society Foundation will host the Mission of Mercy, or “MOM,” at the Gateway Center in Collinsville on July 15-16, 2016. More than 1,000 volunteer den-tists, hygienists, dental as-sistants, dental students and others from through-out Illinois will provide an estimated $1 million in free dental care to patients who would not otherwise have access to necessary treat-ment.

“We are prepared to see 1,000 patients per day, and hope to accommodate more if we can,” said Dr. Randall Markarian, a Swansea orthodontist who serves as MOM Co-Chair. “In order to treat as many patients in the best way possible, the patient’s prior-ity condition will be served � rst.”

Here are some important things that prospective pa-tients should know:

• Not all dental services will be available. Emphasis will be on basic dental care — � llings, extractions and cleanings.

• No appointments will be taken.

• No pre-registration is available.

• Care is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

• Doors will open at 6:00 a.m.

• Th ere are no income eligibility requirements; anyone can receive treat-ment.

• No false teeth (den-tures) will be made.

• Patients with serious health problems may not be able to receive dental treatment (for example, extremely high blood pres-sure, high blood sugar levels, and severe disabili-ties).

• Patients will not receive all the dental work that is needed; the most critical

dental problems will receive priority treatment.

• Recommended items for patients to bring to MOM:

* List of current medica-tions and a one day supply.

* Baby supplies for a full d ay — d i ap e r s , formula, etc.

* Reading glasses (for help in completing pa-perwork).

* Something to help you pass the time such as reading material, knit-t i n g , c r o s s w o r d puzzles, etc.

* Water and snacks.* Sun protection (sun-

screen, sunglasses, umbrella).

If a patient is in severe pain NOW, don’t wait until the Mission of Mercy. Seek treatment immediately!

The Mission of Mercy will serve to highlight the serious problem that many Illinois citizens have in ac-

cessing dental care. � e event will relieve some suf-fering, but it won’t solve the problem. Only the Illinois legislature can provide the solution through adequate-ly funding the Medicaid program in Illinois.

“Prevention remains the best plan of action,” adds MOM co-chair Dr. Darryll Beard, a general dentist in Waterloo. “If patients main-tain good oral health habits at home, and receive basic dental services and restor-ative services by a dentist, it drastically reduces the need for expensive emer-gency room visits and ex-tensive treatment, which typically cost ten times more than if the patient had originally been treated by a dentist.”

More information on the Mission of Mercy event is available at the Illinois State Dental Society Foundation’s w e b s i t e a t w w w.ISDSFoundation.org.

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) received a $3,360 donation from the American Lung Association (ALA) today, which was raised during an Asthma Awareness campaign orga-nized by Godfrey native Jaris Waide, who is an ALA Honoree Chairperson and Children’s Ambassador.

On May 7 in Glazebrook Park in Godfrey, Waide held her 16th annual ALA Asthma Awareness Walk in collaboration with GSSI, who introduced their new Asthma Awareness patch program to help girls become more familiar with respiratory health, symp-toms of an asthma attack and how to respond in an asthma related emergen-cy. Funds donated to GSSI by Waide’s ALA campaign will go towards providing additional asthma educa-tion to Girl Scouts through-out southern Illinois.

� e Robert and Donita Morris home in Walnut Hill, Illinois will be the site for a Hummingbird Festival scheduled for Wednesday, July 20 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. In the last � ve years over 500 hummingbirds have been banded at this site. Vernon Kleen, a li-censed hummingbird bander from Springfield and associated with the Lincoln Land Association of Bird Banders, will begin the festival at 8 a.m. with a short discussion about hummingbirds and explain why they are banded. A� er the discussion, humming-birds will be captured and

banded.� ere is no admission

charge for this family event and visitors may stay as long as they wish. Visitors may also "adopt" a bird by making a $5 donation to t h e L i n c o l n L a n d Associat ion of Bird Banders. Donors will receive an attractive signed certificate, be given the privilege of releasing their adopted birds (if enough birds are captured), and will be noti� ed if their birds are ever recaptured.

If hummingbirds appeal to you, then plan on visiting the Walnut Hill, Illinois Hummingbird Festival. It

should be a rewarding ex-perience. The Robert Morris home is located at 229 Medlin Road, east of Walnut Hill and about 5 miles east of Centralia, south of Route 161 East.

WHEREHave I Seen That


How to Pray with Power

Mankind is impressed and obsessed with power. Americans have power walks, power drinks, power neckties, powerful ma-chines, and seek more pow-erful computers. But the most underestimated and underused power on earth is prayer. Even medical science has substantiated the benefits of prayer. Prayer moves the hand of God. Develop these keys to prayer that will enable you to pray with power and change your life.

POVERTY OF SPIRIT is the basic requirement of prayer. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus revealed a paradigm shi� from the way most people think and act. “Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) Th is means to recognize our need for God. Until you recognize your need for God and His help you will never pray with power. God gives grace to the humble. (I Peter 5:5-6)

PRAISING GOD brings you into the presence of God. Jesus taught in the

Lord’s Prayer to begin prayer by “hallowing” the Father’s name. (Matthew 6:9) In the passage of the triumphant entry Jesus sent his disciples to get a donkey for him to ride into Jerusa-lem. He told them to tell the owner of the donkey, “� e Lord has need of it.” (Mark 11:4) As he rode into Jerusalem the multitudes gave him praise. (Matthew 21:16) God doesn’t need our gold, silver, or sacri-� ces, but he does desire our praise and worship. (John 4:23-24) Praise brings God’s presence, power, and a delight to prayer.

PURITY OF HEART brings power in prayer. Jesus first cleansed the temple and then decreed, “My house will be called a house of prayer.” (Matthew 21:12-13) Jesus promised, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8) A friend posted this truth on Facebook, “You cannot pray for an A on a test and study for a B. You cannot pray for a fa i t h f u l relationship and still live an unfaithful life. Moral of the story is you cannot pray for something and act less. Don’t question my God and

His abilities when your actions don’t match your prayers.” (@SpiritualWord) David prayed, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit with-in me.” (Psalms 51:10) Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse your heart from sin. (Psalms 51:6-7)

PERSUASIVE PRAYER is the prayer of faith. � e disciples were amazed when Jesus cursed a barren fig tree and it withered from the roots up. Jesus told them, “Have faith in God . . . whoever says to this mountain, be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt . . . but be-lieves . . . it shall be granted him.” (Mark 11:22-24) Believe Jesus’ promises. (John 14:12-14) A great man of prayer, Tuesday Thomas Watson, said, “Prayer is the key, and faith is the hand that turns it, and claims the blessing.”

PARDON THROUGH PRAYER keeps the chan-nels of prayer power open.

In the Lord’s Prayer Jesus taught us to pray, “And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12) David said, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.” (Psalms 66:16-17) � e most powerful prayer is the humble cry to God for forgiveness. (I John 1:9) Forgiving those who have hurt you is a necessary key for freedom and power in prayer. (Matthew 6:14)

Do you want power for living and power in prayer? Develop and use these keys in prayer and your life will be radically changed. And prayer will be a delight!

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord J e s u s C h r i s t .” ( I � essalonians 5:23)Shalom,Cli� SandersEagle Life [email protected]

As I walked into church Sunday morning I ran into an old friend whom I'm always glad to see. � e � rst thing he said a� er our usual greeting hug, with great concern in his eyes, was, "Cathy, this country is a mess." I could only agree with him. Then the service started with a prayer for our neighbors, friends, families and country.

� en it hit me, the answer to all things is in Christ. � is country needs to turn the clock back in time to when we as children were taught to love one another, to respect others, to care for one another, and to respect authority, back to a time when mothers and father faced the full responsibility of teach-ing their children right from wrong. I realize there are parents and grandparents still teaching their children and grandchildren right from wrong, but the reality is there are not as many today as yes-terday. God bless those that are, because that's our only hope; the children are the future.

In my opinion, last week was a heartbreaking week for America, for all of us, starting with the lives lost in Louisiana and Minnesota. In Dallas, Texas, � ve police o� cers were killed and nine individuals were wounded (seven offi cers of the law and two civilians), becoming casualties of a lone deranged gunman in an ambush style attack in down-town Dallas, Texas. � e only motivation that anyone could come up with was that the sniper was protesting the o� cer shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.

� is shooter was taken out by a robotic bomb a� er a stand-o� with police. � at was the deadliest event for U.S. police o� cers since September 11, 2001. And in this tragedy the same strategy was in play as on September 11, 2001 when the men and women in blue ran toward the twin towers to protect and save as many lives as they could, costing many of

them their own lives. � e same held true last week

in Dallas, Texas during a peace-ful "Black Lives Matter" move-ment protest. As the shots rang out, those brave o� cers ran toward the gun� re to protect and save as many as they could, costing � ve brave men in blue their very lives and leaving seven wounded.

The suspect's motivation was revealed in negotiations when he said he was upset about recent police shootings so he wanted to kill as many white people, especially white o� cers, as he could and he said that he acted alone.

I personally can't imagine the complete fear that had to grip all involved in this tragic event as the hundreds protest-ing ran in every direction and the police charged forward!

I've heard some compare today to the late 1960s. I lived through those days. They weren't great days, but if this great divide doesn't stop soon, our children and grandchildren will see the same thing. � at's certainly not something most of us want.

Last Friday Barack Obama ordered � ags to be � own at half sta� in honor of those that lost their lives and those that were wounded in Dallas, Texas. � at's the 67th time he's done this since becoming President, more than any other president, according to USA Today. In my mind that says it all.

So in the end, what's the answer to the racial divide? In my mind, I answered that ques-tion in the second paragraph.

� e other issue that I found heartbreaking last week was the corruption of the current U.S. government administration, which I have absolutely no respect for, and I have even less respect for Hillary Clinton. FBI Director James Comey was, in my opinion, nothing but a sac-ri� cial lamb for Hillary Clin-ton's corruption, and he took the fall for U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch's un-ethical meeting with Billy

Clinton, as reported in the New York Times.

Mr. Comey said that Mrs. Clinton had failed to return "thousands" of work related emails to the State Department, despite her public insistence to the contrary, and that her lawyers may have destroyed classi� ed material that the FBI was unable to recover. He also described her handling of clas-si� ed material as Secretary of State as "negligent," a legal term he avoided using last Tuesday. But the biggest problem — and I have many issues with both Clintons — was Comey said his team of investigators had not found clear evidence that Mrs. Clinton intended to break the law governing the use of classified materials and ex-plained that prosecutors have 'grave concerns" about using the lower legal standard of "gross negligence" in their han-dling and have applied it only once in the last century.

To make matters even worse — if they could be any worse — Republicans expressed par-ticular frustration with Comey when he said that the FBI did not examine Mrs. Clinton's statement to Congress about her email server to determine whether she had perjured herself. And this woman wants to be our next President. My God, people, wake up! The bottom line is, in my opinion, she is guilty as hell, and the FBI Director took the fall for Loretta Lynch. What a sad time for America!

Leaving you with a final thought, again, one that was shared in church last Sunday morning: � e only way evil can triumph is if good men do nothing.

Students at Centralia Jr. High School got to step into the shoes of area pro-fessionals recently during the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce’s Real World Challenge. Small teams of students were each assigned to a participating business and presented with a real-world, job-related task to perform for the business or organization as if they were employees.

On Monday, June 27, the students were brought to their assigned business place where they were given a tour and a

rundown of the various employees’ tasks. � en the students were given their challenge which they would complete during scheduled times through-out the week either at the Junior High or at the busi-ness site. Examples of challenges were to create a marketing video for a company or design a t-shirt. Participating stu-dents got invaluable hands-on experience which will help them on their way when they enter the workforce in a few more years. At the end of the week, participating

businesspeople treated their student workers to lunch at the Elks Lodge where the students re-ceived a certificate and presented their � nished work to the public.

Participating business-es and organizations were: Centralia Stationery, Monken, E. Kracht Photography, St. Mary’s Hospital, Winning Edge, The Shoppers Weekly Papers, AGE A� ordable Gas and Electric, Surgery Center, Rent One and Calumet Street Christian Church.

Salad DressingsHow many times have you heard, "Eat your greens"? My grandmother was famous

for this old saying, especially since, like most kids, I didn't like them. But as I got older, I learned to eat them because they were good for me. � en I learned to eat them because I liked them.

But who eats greens without dressing? I found some old recipes for salad dressing that I wanted to share this week, so enjoy!

Celery Seed Dressing� is savory-sweet dressing takes great on a mixture of bitter and tender greens.

1¼ cups white sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard2/3 cup cider vinegar 1½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground2 cups vegetable oil 1½ tsp. celery seed1 small onion, grated 1 tsp. salt, optional

Mix sugar, 1/3 cup vinegar, oil, onion, mustard, pepper, celery seed, and salt; beat well with rotary beater or whisk. Add 1/3 cup more vinegar; beat again. Taste and correct seasonings; refrigerate up to 3 weeks. Shake well before serving. Makes ap-proximately 3 cups.

Creamy Salad Dressing� is sweet and sour dressing goes well on so� greens.

1/2 cup heavy cream 2 T. cider vinegar1/3 cup white sugar

Mix cream, sugar, and vinegar together until smooth. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving. Makes 2/3 cup.

French Dressing� is spicy, sweet dressing complements country mixed green salads.

1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/2 tsp. paprika1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 1/4 tsp. dry mustard1 T. sugar 1 T. grated or � nely chopped onion1/4 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground

Whisk or beat together all ingredients — oil, fresh lemon juice, sugar, pepper, paprika, mustard, and onion — until combined. Taste and correct seasonings. Refrigerate up to 2 weeks. Shake well before serving. Makes about 1 cup.

Shallot Dressing� is versatile dressing can be used on vegetables, pasta salads, green salads, or as

a dipping sauce.

4 shallots, peeled 2 T. fresh parsley2/3 cup olive oil 1/2 tsp. coarse salt1/3 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground2 T. Dijon mustard 1/4 tsp. sugar

Place shallots in food processor and process 2 to 3 pulses. Add oil, vinegar, mustard, parsley, salt, pepper, and sugar. Process 6 . to 8 pulses or until shallots are chopped. Seal in glass jar. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 weeks. Shake well before using. Makes 1½ cups.

***If you have a favorite recipe and want to share it with us, just send it in c/o � e

Shopper's Weekly, P.O. Box 1223, Centralia, IL 62801 or email to: [email protected], (Subject - ATTN: Lizzie) Also, if you have a household problem, like a stubborn stain or a kitchen conundrum, drop us a line, our readers just might have your solution! I'm also interested in your general decorating or household tips. Send your message in a bottle and we might just publish it and enlighten our readers! Until next week, Au Revoir!

Home Alone

D E A R P AW ’ S CORNER: My 1-year-old dog, “Clemente,” gets extremely anxious when-ever I leave home. He barks nonstop, as my neighbor has mentioned repeatedly. I put him in his crate whenever I leave, but it doesn’t matter if I’m gone for 20 minutes or all day — he will not stop barking until I get home.

I tried leaving him out of the crate when I go out for short periods, but then he just barks, claws at the door and scatters my shoes everywhere. What else can I do? — Beth N., Brooklyn, New York

D E A R B E T H : Reducing your pet’s anxiety when you leave home can be really tough. Regardless of his history — whether he was a shelter adoption or brought home from a litter — Clemente’s per-ception is that you are leaving, and he doesn’t know why or for how long. How will he eat if you’re gone for days? Why won’t you take him with you? A lot of things are running through his mind.

Even if you just go out of sight for a few minutes, some pets get really worried. I’ve come out of the bathroom to find my dog and cats clustered together, staring up at me mutely with eyes that seem to say, “Where did you GO?”

� ere are many things to try, all of which involve reassuring Clemente that you will come home. Contact a

trainer who specializes in eas ing anxiety (Clemente’s vet may have some good recom-mendations). Most im-portantly, do it soon. Right now he’s got some anxiety, but that could develop into more de-

structive behaviors. Now is the time to really build that relationship with your dog and help him feel more con� dent that you are always there for him.

State Representative John Cavaletto (R-Salem), member of the E l e m e n t a r y a n d Secondary Education Committee and the Appropriations Public Safety Committee, an-nounced recently that l eg i s l at ion p ass e d (Senate Bill 2047) to fully fund K-12 education for FY17 (full year), ensur-ing that our schools open on time and have the resources they need for the entire school year. K-12 will receive $11.1 billion from General Revenue Funds (GRF), other state funds, and federal funds. The stopgap budget will also ensure that critical state operations and services continue through the

end of this year, includ-ing items like higher education, human ser-vices, and prisons.

“This is an historic investment in education which will fund our schools at 100% founda-tion level for the first time in seven years,” said Rep. Cavaletto. “That means the vast majority of school districts will receive more than they did the year before and now we can focus on how to improve our broken school funding f o r m u l a ,” a d d e d Cavaletto.

� is bi-partisan agree-ment will ensure schools are fully funded and open on time in the fall, and will protect Illinois taxpayers. � e plan also

includes $75 million for early childhood educa-tion, and a new, state-wide $250 million equity grant for the poorest school districts.

Additionally, this leg-islation provides for a 6-month, ‘stop-gap’ al-location for other state services including the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) which will get money for roads, bridges, railway, and airports around the state. Nearly $1 billion will go towards universi-ties and community col-leges to be able to open for fall classes and take them through December, while we continue to work on a full budget to cover the remainder of FY17. All other agencies

are taken care of in part with this legislation: the Departments on Aging, Human Services, Health and Family Services, Public Health, Children & Family Services, Department of Natural R e s o u r c e s a n d D e p a r t m e n t o f Corrections.

• Th e pirate spider eats almost nothing besides other spiders. Researchers say this presents some prob-lems when it comes time to mate.

• Isaac Asimov is prob-ably best known for his

classic science-fiction novels, including the Foundation Series and "I, Robot," but he was much more than a pulp writer. His works are so wide-ranging that he has entries in nine out of the 10 major catego-ries of the Dewey Decimal system. In addition to his science-� ction works, he wrote history ("Th e Greeks: A Great Adventure," "� e Egyptians"), literary works ("Asimov's Guide to Shakespeare," "Asimov's Guide to the Bible,"), humor ("Lecherous Limericks," "Treasury of Humor"), my s te r y ( t h e B l a ck

Widowers series) and popular science ("The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science"). Asimov earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University in biochemistry, which he also taught; he published academic works in science and mathematics. His proli� c life is detailed in three works of autobiog-raphy, and he and his wife, Janet, even found time to co-author a self-help book titled "How to Enjoy Writing: A Book of Aid and Comfort."

***� ought for the Day:

"As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand." — Josh Billings


by Samantha Weaver

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You dislike waiting for promises to be ful� lled and for commitments to be kept, but resist your headstrong tendency to push things along. Your patience will be rewarded.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Expect continuing opposition to your plans from die-hard detractors. However, your determination to see things through will carry the day. A Pisces has romantic ideas.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be too close to a troublesome workplace situation to deal with it successfully. Step away in order to get a better perspective. A solution soon becomes obvious. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might suspect that someone you trust has misled you on an important matter, but a more balanced view of things reveals a misunderstanding to be the culprit. LEO (July 23 to August 22) � e Big Cat’s animal magnetism has rarely been stronger. You can either just bask in all that admiration or use it to your advantage, especially in the workplace.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone who previously balked at cooperating with you on a project suddenly has a change of heart. Ac-cept both help and advice with grace.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Some hazy issues still need to be

cleared up before you can move on with your new plans. A friend from the past reaches out to re-establish old ties.SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) Continued positive fall-out follows that risky workplace decision you made some time ago. Your payo� will soon prove to be more substantial than you expected. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-cember 21) A personal relationship continues to be a� ected by a recent unexpected turn of events. � ings need to work themselves out without � nger-pointing.CAPRICORN (December 22 to Janu-ary 19) It’s a wonderful week for all you capricious Goats to kick up your heels with friends or family members in some well-earned fun and frivolity.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Caution is advised before making a � nancial commitment to someone you don’t really know. � ere are better ways to build friendships than with risky � scal dealings.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Travel plans continue to be favored. A change of scenery brings new oppor-tunities, both personally and profes-sionally. Be open to the possibilities.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of loyalty that shows itself best in your relationships with family and friends.
