The society shall encourage the pursuit of advance degrees in the profession of nursing as well as continuing education as a

life-long professional responsibility.

Additionally, the society shall participate in the recruitment of qualified individuals into the profession of nursing.” Kaskaskia College received the 12th chapter in the state of Illinois.

In order to be accepted into Alpha Delta Nu, students are required to create a “capstone project” designed to further interest in the profession of nursing. Students must have also maintained a 3.0 grade point average and be recommended as a society member by the nursing faculty.

Upcoming hemp production workshops During the first week of February, University of Illinois Extension will host three separate workshops throughout southern Illinois to share information on industrial hemp production.

The signing of the Illinois hemp bill has provided opportunities for the cultivation, distribution and processing of hemp for fiber, grain and CBD. This versatile cash crop takes up a small amount of acreage and has the potential to empower small farmers, however, is not without its own set of challenges.

Join Extension Educator Phillip Alberti as he shares

his experience with this potential new cash crop for producers in Illinois.

Demonstrations of various production systems and planting methods will be covered while addressing issues faced throughout the growing season. Additional topics include: licensing, rules and regulations, end products and an update on hemp across the state of Illinois. Each workshop will discuss grain, fiber and CBD production and will also focus on the many applications for this new crop.

The workshops will be held on the following dates at three Extension locations:

speak OUT letters to the editor

There aren’t sufficient words to describe the depth of contempt, disgust and disrespect that I feel for Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler and the Democrat representatives who voted in favor of President Donald Trump’s impeachment. It is without a doubt a despicable abuse of power backed up by lies and one sided testimonies. If the Democrats somehow pull this off, we will be under a Democratic dictatorship.

They will do this to everyone who ever beats them in an election from now on.

The Obama administration was the most corrupt administration in the history of our nation. They are all guilty of many impeachable actions. That’s part of the problem. They all had a real good thing

going, covering for each other because they were all breaking the law at every opportunity. President Trump threatens their little play house. They go in office with nothing and all end up multimillionaires after a few years. It seems like all the evil corrupt and insane people navigate to the Democratic Party. Of course they wanted to stay in power too, and President Trump threatens that too.

Those people who conducted the impeachment should lose their power.

They do not deserve to have any power over any person. None of us are safe.

If they can turn this into impeachment they could accuse anyone of anything and, we would have no defense. It terrifies me and should every American.

I truly believe Adam Schiff is insane. Yes, insane.

Look at his eyes as he talks.

Nancy Pelosi wants to keep her power so bad that she’s willing to do whatever she

has to do to try to keep it.

All of the Democrats together could not do the great job that President Trump has done for our country. They have proven through Obama’s terms and through the past three years that all they know how to do is lie and cheat and try to stay in power.

They are not interested in helping our country and don’t care any little bit about the American people.

Nikita Khrushchev said many years ago that they would conquer us from within. It seems that that is exactly what they are trying to do. None of these people are true Americans in any sense of the word. They are all total gutter, sewer, trash.

They are all guilty of all the things they are accusing President Trump of doing and on a much bigger scale.

They themselves should be in jail for this crime and many others. It has left me thinking that the word “Democrat” is a dirty word.

They have permanently scarred the Democratic Party.

It blows my mind how many truly evil and corrupt people there are in our country. I have always

thought those people were in the minority, but I’m beginning to wonder. I know that evil people make a lot more noise than good, honest people do. I hope that’s the case. However, evil does more damage than good simply because they are bent on destruction of everything that is good. I realize people who listen to CNN and the other left wing media hear a glorified version in favor of the radical left. That is all they hear, so that is what they believe. Their closed mindedness is going to destroy this great country. That’s how Hitler got his power, and you see what happened there. Of course, the Left wants you to believe that the Holocaust didn’t happen.

I could go on and on but there’s not room. I’m sure this will fall on deaf ears except to those who already know the truth. However, a word to the wise is sufficient. Logic should tell you that if they have to lie and cheat and only show one side of their case, it must be a sham and a lie.

Yesteryear’s Memories

By Jay Borum

Carlyle Lake Christmas Tree Recycling Project

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Carlyle Lake will be collecting used Christmas trees for the annual Christmas Tree Recycling Project. The Corps of Engineers, along with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, uses these trees to provide effective and economical fish habitat at Carlyle Lake.

Christmas trees can be donated from December 26, 2019 through January 31, 2020 at the following locations: Plant Land (located

on Old Route 50 east of Breese), Dam East High Water Boat Ramp, and the Little Prairie Nature Trail parking lot, located in the West Spillway at Carlyle Lake.

Every spring, volunteers from various conservation minded organizations and clubs donate their time to help submerge the trees in the lake as fish shelters.

These fish shelters provide breeding areas, resting places, and protection. They give young fish much

needed living spaces where they can feed on plankton and avoid being preyed upon by larger fish. The protection provided by the trees allows for a large number of fish to grow to maturity and ultimately provide more fish for anglers.

If you are interested in volunteering to help place Christmas trees in the lake in the spring, contact the Carlyle Lake/Kaskaskia Navigation Project Office at 618-594-2484 or email at carlylelake@usace.army.mil

The investigation afterward determined that blasting had ignited coal dust in the air and the explosion was horrific.

One hundred and eleven men died that day.

They were burned or injured or suffocated from the fumes produced by the fire and many died a slow death — desperate to get a message to their wives and children and families they scratched out notes any way they could. On paper or the wall, they told their loved ones goodbye.

Only eight were rescued.

Woody Guthrie, a folk singer and by many considered a national treasure, wrote a song, “The Dying Miner” also known as “Goodbye Centralia” and it has been preserved by the “Smithsonian Folkways” record label in Washington, D.C. It can be easily found online.

By the way, his son Arlo Guthrie recorded a song written by Steve Goodman, “The City of New Orleans” about the train that goes through Centralia every day.

hardships of the war. Coal was being mined to fuel these boom times; and the coal deposits of Centralia were in great demand.

The Number 5 mine was operating at full swing and mine workers were busy providing a living for their families by going deep down under the town and bringing up ton after ton of this black treasure.

It was hard work and there was always danger.

Goodbye Centralia It was 1947. World War II was over and people were getting back to work.

Times were good and the United States was beginning to see a prosperity like had never been seen before. Factories were churning out products and people were rebuilding their lives after the

Cooking With Lizzie

New Year, New Recipes

Christmas and New Years are behind us! However, just like the past holidays, the few extra pounds we pack on for giving ourselves the excuse to eat, eat and eat some more is the reality of all that wonderful rich food. In January I’m ready to get back to a routine of eating healthier and happier. Our mainstay is meat, chicken and fish. In my world it’s comfort food along with veggies, and my rule of thumb is, if it’s white don’t eat it, with the exception of cauliflower. Below are some of my favorites.

Pasta with Cauliflower & Cheddar

8 oz. whole-wheat linguine 1/4 tsp. dried thyme, crumbled 3 cups small cauliflower florets 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce 1½ cups 1% low-fat milk 1/8 tsp. salt 2 T. cornstarch 4 oz. extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 tsp. dry mustard 2 T. grated parmesan cheese 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion greens Bring large covered pot of water to boil over high heat. Add pasta, return to boil and cook 9 to 11 minutes, or according to package directions. Four minutes before pasta is done, stir in cauliflower and cook until cauliflower is tender and pasta is al denté. Reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid, drain pasta and cauliflower in colander. While pasta is cooking, in heavy medium saucepan, whisk together milk, cornstarch, mustard, pepper, thyme, hot pepper sauce and salt until smooth. Place pan over medium-high heat and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring, l minute, or until sauce is quite thick; remove pan from heat. Transfer pasta and cauliflower to warmed serving bowl; add reserved pasta cooking liquid and toss to mix well. Add Cheddar and Parmesan to sauce and whisk until smooth. Pour sauce over pasta and cauliflower, and toss to mix.

Sprinkle with scallions. Makes 4 servings.

Rosemary - Orange Chicken on Spinach

1 lg. navel orange Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes 2-3 T. orange juice 1 Lb. thin-sliced chicken cutlets 1 T. olive oil 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. dried rosmary, crumbled 1 Lb. washed spinach, tough stems 1/4 tsp. light brown sugar removed Grate 1/2 tsp. of zest from the orange; set zest aside. Using sharp paring knife, peel orange, removing all the white pith. Working over bowl, cut between membranes to divide orange into sections. Squeeze membranes between fingers to release all the juice, then discard them. Pour all the juice from bowl into measuring cup, then add enough additional orange juice to measure 1/3 cup. Add orange zest, 1 tsp. of the oil, vinegar, 1/4 tsp. of the rosemary, sugar and red pepper flakes to orange juice, and whisk until blended; set aside. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/4 tsp. rosemary, black pepper and salt. In large no-stick skillet, warm remaining 2 tsp. oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches, if necessary, add chicken and sauté 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer chicken to platter and cover loosely with sheet of foil. Add spinach to skillet and stir-fry over high heat 1 to 2 minutes, or just until spinach is wilted. Arrange spinach around chicken on platter and place orange sections on chicken. Whisk dressing briefly to reblend it, then pour dressing over chicken and spinach. Makes 4 servings.

Chicken Piccata with Escarole

12 oz. skinless, boneless chicken 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes breast halves (4) 1/8 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, crumbled 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper cup defatted chicken broth 1½ tsp. olive oil 1/2 tsp. grated lemon zest 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 T. fresh lemon juice 5 cups loosely packed cut-up escarole 1 tsp. unsalted butter or margarine Preheat broiler and broiler-pan rack. Season both sides of chicken breasts with thyme and pepper. Place chicken on broiler-pan rack and broil 2 to 3 inches from heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until it is browned and cooked through.

Transfer chicken to warm platter and cover loosely with foil. Meanwhile, in large, deep skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add escarole, increase heat to high and sauté, tossing frequently, 2 to 3 minutes or until greens begin to wilt. Add cherry tomatoes and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until tomatoes are warm and soft, and escarole is completely wilted. Add salt, then transfer vegetables to warm platter.

In the same skillet, whisk together cornstarch mixture, lemon zest and lemon juice, and bring to boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Simmer, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened and bubbly. Add butter or margarine and any juices that have collected on platter, and return to boil, stirring. Cook just until butter or margarine is melted and sauce has thickened.

Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables. *** Until next week, Au Revoir!

EAGLE LIFE

Ministries by: Cliff Sanders

Victory Over Injustice and Suffering Since the fall of Adam and Eve, injustice and suffering has plagued mankind.

Wars, famine, poverty, and death has stalked the globe.

Even Christians have faced injustice and suffering in all the many forms. What is the scriptural response and how can we have victory over injustice and suffering? In our study of the book of James we come to chapter five and God’s answer to injustice and suffering.

JESUS IS THE JUST JUDGE. There is a day of accounting when all will stand before the Lord and give account for their deeds.

“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten! Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corruption will be witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire.” (James

Scooter Toy Children have always liked toys that can move and make noise and look like something from the adult world. Victor Bonnet was a French toymaker working after 1919 who specialized in tin, and later steel, toy trucks, motorcycles, carts, buggies, as well as clowns, birds, women doing housework and musicians playing instruments. His toys were often copied but can be dated by the mark, his comp any name. The company started as F. Martin in 1878 and changed its name three times until it was called Victor Bonnet from 1919 to 1937, when the firm closed. A recent

5:1-6) The cries of the suffering have reached the ears of “the Lord of Sabbath.”

Jesus told the story of the rich man and the beggar Lazarus. The rich man had no regard for the beggar who sat outside his gate with sores covering his body. Both men died. The rich man ended up in hell, tormented by flames of fire.

The beggar ended up in paradise where he was comforted for eternity. (Luke 16) The Father has committed all judgment into the hands of his Son. Jesus is the true and just judge. There is a God in heaven. Take hope!

Trust in him!

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN! “Therefore, be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord . . . Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” (James 5:7-12) The coming of the Lord is called the Blessed Hope. The next great event to take place is the soon coming of the Lord and the catching away of

auction sold an 8 1/2-inch tin boy-on-a-scooter toy. It was key-wound so it could “scoot” or roll across the floor. It was made in the 1920s and sold for $1,560. *** Q: I have a large collection of lady head vases I want to sell. How should I go about it?

A: Lady head vases are figural vases showing a pretty woman from the shoulders up. Most were made in Japan or the United States and were used by florists in the 1950s and ‘60s. They were a popular collectible in the ‘70s and ‘80s, but interest has waned.

Today, they sell from $25 or less to over $100. Vases portraying Jacqueline Kennedy

If you want to sell the whole collection, you might be able to find someone at a flea market or mall booth who will buy them. *** Q: I have some of my mother’s and grandmother’s copper cooking pots that are either all copper or have copper bottoms. I have been told if I want the darkened copper to be shiny and copper-colored again, I can clean them with ketchup. Is that a good idea?

A: Ketchup can be used as an emergency cleaner, but a commercial metal polish probably will do a better, faster job. There is some risk to using unlined copper pans. Bits of the copper may leach into the heated food. “Long term exposure” is listed as a danger to your health, but limited use of unlined copper pans is OK. Lined

Mark 8:22 Then He (Jesus) came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.

23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

Point #1 “They” brought this blind man to Jesus. Bethsaida was the home town of Peter, Andrew and Phillip. I think these 3 were the “they.” Our job is to BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS! Point #2 Jesus took this blind man by the hand and led him out of town before He healed him. Why? I think Jesus was showing this blind man that he could trust Jesus. Jesus had to have been telling him of obstacles in the roadway. He had to have been talking to the man about his family and his situation as they traveled together. And when Jesus knew the blind man now trusted Him, Jesus stopped and spit in his eyes. We can’t minister to people if they don’t TRUST US....

Sermon Summary: January 5, 2020 Sermon Title: “Investing With Jesus”

Matthew 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

We have heard our grandparents or great grandparents talk about the stock market crash in 1929 that kicked off the Great Depression.

A lot of us watched our 401Ks take a major nose dive in 2008 when Congress refused to bail out banks that had made loans to people they knew could not pay them back.

What happened? Moth! Rust! THIEVES!!!

And then, we’ve heard how that if you invested just a couple of thousand dollars in Walmart in 1970, you would be a multimillionaire today.

Earlier in Matthew chapter 6, Jesus talks about various types of investments.

He starts out the chapter by talking about charitable deeds.

Here is His basic message: If you SEE a need, and you have the ability to do so, MEET that need! INVEST in those that are poor and hurting....

down from their attacks on the American Embassy. It had been written on the Embassy by the militants, “Soleimani is our leader,” while they chanted, “Death to America.”

The American Embassy in Iraq is a big deal. The Embassy is a huge symbol of American power.

In my opinion, unlike Obama, Trump knows the drill. America is the first to fight and defend her people, and the last to leave.

Obama attempted to negotiate with hostile Middle Eastern countries and implement progressive diplomatic relations. It didn’t work! In fact, not only did it not work, Obama and his top officials lied to the American people about Benghazi, claiming that the attack on the American Post where Ambassador Stephens was brutally murdered was a spur-of-themoment incident over a YouTube video that angered the protesters.

Hours: Mon-Sat. 8:00-1:00

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The New Year brings challenges that can change many things in your life. You need to be prepared not only to confront them, but also to deal with what happens afterward.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to set your goals quite a bit higher this year. Learn what you need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. A partner offers loving support.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion, you’re conflicted about a decision you know you’ll have to make in this New Year. Best advice: Get the facts before you make any commitment.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A friend offers you an exciting opportunity for this New Year. Although your positive aspects are strong in most respects, caution is advised. Investigate before you invest.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You can make this New Year a roaring success. Start by readjusting your goals to reflect the changes in the economy.

Your den mate offers both wise and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The New Year brings new opportunities for change. But you need to be ready to move from the comfortable status quo to the challenging unknown. It’s up to you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your most important New Year’s resolution should be to work out problems with a family member in

After 20 years of General Qassim Soleimani of Iran poking a stick in the eyes of the U.S., President Donald Trump took action to stop a war by taking out this man that was responsible for the death of thousands. General Qassim Soleimani of Iran was killed along with three other officials in an air strike at Baghdad’s international airport.

Qassim Soleimani was Iran’s Quds Force commander. Also killed was Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of Iraqi parliamentary forces.

Last week it took Donald Trump 13 minutes to do something after learning of immediate danger and the attack on the American Embassy in Iraq by the Iranians. It took Barack Obama 13 hours to respond to the attack in Benghazi.

By that time it was too late; four Americans were dead, including Ambassador Chris Stephens.

Im m e d i at e l y a f t e r sending U.S. troops in, the Iranian militants backed

Wednesday, January 8, 2020 the deaths of hundreds if not thousands.

At the present time there are plans to deploy 4,000 additional troops to the Middle East in the aftermath of Soleimani’s death. And, of course, the Iranian government has promised “harsh punishment.”

So where will this go?

Who knows. But there are a few things I am certain of: 1) Trump will not ask for war but won’t sit still while Iran keeps doing whatever they want; that includes killing Americans and destroying American property.

2) Trump won’t drop billions of dollars of cash in the Iranian government’s hands (blackmail money).

Keep in mind there are two factions in Iraq. One admitted the attack that left supports America, the other Americans dead was, in supports Iran. However, fact, a coordinated and well there are many Iranians in orchestrated attack.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The New Year has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until they surrender their rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’ll have many fine opportunities in this New Year. But be warned: Reject offers of “help.” You work best when you’re free to be your own creative self.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The New Year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time, until you’ve built up your self-confidence.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Travel is a dominant aspect of the New Year. This could mean relocating to another city (or even another country) in connection with your education or your career.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This New Year brings news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might have a problem persuading a loved one about your new plans, but he or she will soon go along with them.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is accepting applications through Jan. 21, 2020 for the state’s Park and Recreational Facility Construction (PARC) Grant Program.

The program will provide grants to eligible local governments for acquisition, development, construction, rehabilitation or other capital improvements to park and recreation facilities in Illinois.

IDNR is anticipating that a total of $25 million in grants will be available through funding provided by the Rebuild Illinois Act. The maximum grant award is $2.5 million.

The PARC Grant Program provides funding for bondable, brick and mortar projects that include demolition, site preparation and improvements for indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, reconstruction, improvements and expansion to existing facilities, and new construction. Projects involving land acquisition for construction of new or expansion of existing indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and for open space and conservation purposes, are also eligible. The priority of the program is the renovation or construction of indoor recreation facili-

ties since they are not eligible under other IDNR grant programs.

The PARC Grant Program will reimburse grant recipients up to 75 percent of approved project costs (up to 90 percent reimbursement will be available to local governments defined as disadvantaged). Eligible applicants are limited to units of local government that are authorized by Illinois law to expend public funds for the acquisition and development of land for public indoor/outdoor park, recreation, or conservation purposes are eligible to apply for funding assistance.

School districts, non-profits, and private entities are not eligible. Applicants must be pre-qualified at https:// grants.illinois.gov/portal/ to receive grants from the State of Illinois.

For more information, details on program eligibility, and other program regulations, visit https:// w w w.dnr.illinois.gov/ grants/Pages/PARC-Grant. aspx or contact the IDNR Office of Grant Management and Administration, phone 217/782-7481, or by e-mail DNR.Grants@Illinois.gov.

Blood donation facts Blood donations remain an urgent need.

The Central California Blood Center says 75 percent of all Americans who reach age 72 will need blood in their lifetimes. Around 97 percent of people will have a friend or loved one who will need lifesaving blood.

The American Red Cross says more than 41,000 blood donations are needed every day, and a total of 30 million blood components are transfused each year in the United States alone.

Various surgeries, from joint replacements to bypass surgeries, require several pints of blood. Car accident victims may require as much as 100 pints of blood.

Unfortunately, blood cannot be manufactured in labs, so hospitals and medical centers rely on blood donations to meet their blood needs. But donation centers often fall short of their needs, which only highlights the important role donors play.

According to the Red Cross, only 10 percent of the nearly 40 percent of the population eligible to donate blood actually does so. That may be due to misinformation or even fear about the process. A whole-blood donation takes between 45 and 60 minutes, but the actual blood donation lasts only 10 to 12 minutes (the rest of the time involves preparation and recovery). Donors are typically given a brief physical exam, which includes checking temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and hemoglobin to ensure it is safe for donors to give blood.

Rick’s

The Mayo Clinic Blood Donor center says a person can donate whole blood as frequently as every 84 days.

Specific blood components also can be donated, such as red blood cells, platelets and plasma. These donations may occur more frequently and the process is called apheresis. Since many donated red blood cells and platelets must be used within days of collection, new donations are in constant need.

One blood donation can save the lives of up to three people. The Red Cross notes that donors who begin donating blood at age 17 and donate every 56 days until they turn 76 would have donated 48 gallons of blood, potentially helping to save more than 1,000 lives.

While all blood types are needed, O-negative blood is in the highest demand.

That's because this blood can be given to people of all blood types, and is often relied on in emergency situations when a patient's blood type is not yet known. Only 9 percent of the U.S. population has type O-negative blood, making these donors even more valuable. People with ABpositive blood type are universal donors of plasma. There is always a great need for donors that are Rh-negative as well.

Donating blood is a relatively easy process that has countless rewards.

Investigate mobile blood donation drives or centers that handle blood donations nearby, or visit www.redcrossblood.org for more information.
