� e Athlete of the Year
For whatever reason, there seemed to be a lot of fuss — more than usual, at least — made over one question: Who was the athlete of the year?
Most people, I'm guessing, didn't even know that there are still organizations that actu-ally care enough to sit down and decide such things (in smoke-� lled rooms, natch), but ap-parently there are. And depending on which source you hold most dear, you heard several di� erent answers: � e Associated Press chose Serena Williams; Sports I l lu s t r ate d ch o s e Stephen Curry; and the BBC made waves across the ocean for not choos-ing the new heavy-weight champion of the world, Tyson Fury. (Fury, who may have the coolest name in boxing history, might have won in the worst � ght in history, and he may have possibly given the worst post-� ght per-formance in history ... singing Aerosmith and o� ending everyone else with his mouth.) Golfer Jordan Spieth tripped o� the tongues of more than a few pundits as well.
And then, of course, there were the curiosi-ties. According to Google, the most searched-for term in 2015 was Lamar Odom, but chances are, the teeming masses weren't interested in the retired basketball player's life-time stats. Caitlyn Jenner made it onto a bunch of lists, but I'm not quite sure how that
relates to the world of sports other than an interesting asterisk for the record books.
And poor Holly Holm. She superkicked the people's champion to the face to become the undisputed bantam-weight champion of the UFC world, and all anybody wants to talk about is the girl she beat. I have to admit, count me among those who had their heart shattered along with Rhonda Rousey's face. I was one of those hold-outs when it came to mixed martial arts. In the beginning I bought the � ght, and all I re-member was the sumo wrestler getting his teeth blasted into the front row in the first � ght, and then everyone else just rolling around the � oor for a few hours.
After that, I stub-bornly clung to boxing until I realized the "sweet science" wasn't all that sweet anymore. How thrilling is it to w a t c h F l o y d Mayweather hold his
hands up and shake his head "no" and make a few hundred million dollars for the pleasure? Rousey only worked about two rounds in her three � ghts combined, but she reintroduced the sport to the world. Nobody was talking about boxing like they were talking about MMA this year, and she deserves the lion's share of the credit.
But in the end, it wasn't a lion that mat-tered most. Serena didn't win the Grand Slam, Rousey didn't beat Holm, and Spieth, as amazing as he was, didn't win them all either. So who was the athlete of the year? � e horse, of course!
Why does everyone have such a hard time saying it? Was it because they misspelled the horse's name? American Pharoah — that's your athlete of the year. It's not a slam on any athlete to lose to an animal, in this case an incredibly beautiful one from New Jersey that glided to the Triple Crown, drawing crowds that rivaled presidential campaigns and rock concerts. In 2015, that horse, as brie� y as he was around, was truly a sight to see.
Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

Marion County Clerk Steven Fox announced re-cently that ongoing objec-tions to several Presidential Candidates are not antici-pated to be resolved by the State Board of Elections in time for ballots to be pre-pared and voting tabulators to be programmed for the opening of Vote By Mail (absentee) and Early Voting on February 4, 2016. � e ballots and machines will be available no later than February 17, 2016 — the beginning of Grace Period Registration and Voting — by which time most challenges seeking to remove candidates from the ballot should have been decided and final ballot certi� cations issued by the State Board of Elections.
"It is possible that ballots
may be available prior to February 17, and if so, we will notify the media and voters through a news release," said Clerk Fox. "It's unfortunate that the com-pressed � ling calendar for Presidential candidates and the circumstances of these objections will likely delay our receiving � nal certi� ca-tions from the State Board of Elections and a� ect the opening of voting statewide Once � nal certi� cations are received, we will move as quickly as possible to � nal-ize ballots, program ma-chines and open for voting."
Voters seeking more in-formation about Voting By Mail and Early Voting schedules and locations should email [email protected] or call 618-548-3400.

NEWScommunityHave you ever tasted
Tom Schwartz's sweet apple cider? If not, you should. Ten judges voted his fresh sweet cider the best, not only in the state, but also in the nation!
On January 7 Tom took his cider to Spring� eld where he won First Place in state and national against approximately 25 other contestants. He said he used a mixture of apples, sweet to wake up the taste buds, and a stronger apple to keep the taste lingering in your mouth. He said the judges based the cider on the clarity, the color and the aroma.
Tom plans to provide fresh apple cider to win-eries for hard cider or wine. He's also looking into the possibility of working with some schools to provide a nu-tritional drink for the kids that has no sugar added and is wholesome and healthy.
You can buy Tom's cider year round at Schnuck's in Centralia. Schwartz's Orchard is located at 1942 Copple Road, Centralia (618-532-0058) and Rt. 37 North, Dix.

Local published author Sandy Sinnett has pub-lished her second faith-based romance novel, Grace A� er the Storm. A book signing and launch celebration is being held on Friday, January 29, 2016 at King City Books from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Stop by to visit the author, and enjoy light appetizers pro-vided by RARE.
Sinnett’s newest novel was just released January 7, 2016 and is a story about Brad Young. Brad is a rugged, 40-something, rough-around-the-edges North Carolina man who gets a second chance with the first love of his life. Readers � rst met Brad in Sandy’s debut novel, Hope in the Rain — a story about Laci Kramer, mother of four, a widow, and lover of the rain. Laci believes that good things always follow the rain, and she gets a second chance at life and love with Mitch Young, the sweet southern gentleman she met on a plane ride back to Seattle. � e couple faced many challenges to-gether, including much resentment from Mitch’s brother, Brad. A� er over-coming all odds, Laci and Mitch’s love prevailed.
Grace A� er the Storm
picks up with Laci and Mitch Young, who are now married and live in North Carolina, expecting their � rst child. � ey experi-ence a great loss however, and return to the Paci� c Northwest for a trip of healing and renewal. During this visit, they en-counter a new friend named Hannah Blake, and together they enter a busi-ness venture to help Hannah save her family’s winery and bed and break-fast. Mitch asks his brother Brad to take over the new business, where he comes face to face with a love from his past.
Brad has longed to � nd love again, but no one seems to compare to his � rst real love; the woman he walked away from eight years ago to pursue big money and his career. To remind himself of their love, on what would have been their wedding anni-versary, he writes her a letter. Never mailed. Never opened. Never read. Until this year…when a storm sweeps through and changes everything.
Published by 5 Prince Publishing, the book is available in Kindle edition and print through book-stores and online retailers
nationwide, from the pub-lisher at www.5prince books.com or at King City Books in Mt. Vernon, IL.
Sinnett is the epitome of a hopeless romantic, on a new journey to � nd her own second chance at love. She has quite an addiction to Hallmark movies, which fueled her passion to write. Sinnett recently relocated to her hometown of Mt. Vernon with her two youngest children. She works as the director of development at a local children’s home and is cur-rently working on the third i ns t a l l m e nt of h e r "Elements of Love" series entitled Faith A� er Falling Snow.

GIRL SCOUT SNOWFLAKE PAGEANT
Students, sta� and com-munity members gathered in the Jane Knight Auditorium on Kaskaskia College’s main campus to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on � ursday, January 21.
A� er a greeting by the event emcee, Professor Robert Rhymes of the Culinary Arts Department, the attendees were lead in the singing of the National Anthem by KC student Courtney Diamond and the Pledge of Allegiance by student David Davis. Reverend Tommy Henegar of the first Christian Church in Centralia gave the invocation.
� e showing of a video of Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, a tradition at the celebration, was followed by an address by KC President Dr. Penny Quinn, who used the op-portunity to give a short biography of Dr. King’s life, which was tragically ended by a murderer’s bullet on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
Mr. Bill Hawley, Chair of the KC Board of Trustees, took the podium and praised the non-violent message of Dr. King, and told the audience that the best celebration of Dr. King is to continue to combat the forces that do not wish to see equality. “We have a program every year because we have not achieved the dream,” Hawley said.
� e keynote speaker for this year’s celebration was Mr. Herb Williams. Mr. Williams has a coaching background on the Division I level at Michigan State and Idaho State University in addition to high school stops at Evanston, Rich South, Hillcrest, Sandoval and Centralia High Schools in Illinois. As a three-year s t andout at h le te at Centralia High Schools in basketball, football and track, he earned more than 50 honors including All-State and All-American. A� er High School he at-tended the University of Evansville where he was a starter on the undefeated
1965 NCAA DII National Camps along with former Utah Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan. He has also had the opportunity to work with and coach NBA and European stars such as Scott Skiles, Steve Smith, Kevin Willis, Sam Vincent, Everett Stephens, Magic Johnson, Jim Potter and others. He also served as assistant coach for the KC Blue Devils for several years. Williams is married to the former Marilyn K. O’Neal and they have � ve children: Allen, Mikki, Douglas, Mary and Megan.
Mr. Williams’s address was on the word “if,” which he called the most impor-tant word in the English language. He told of dis-crimination he has experi-enced, including being banned from restaurants due to his skin color, and wondered if Dr. King, and other veterans of the civil rights movement, were to witness the current state of race relations, what would they say?
He sang a passage from the spiritual “Go Down Moses,” and said that today, it is not Pharaoh that op-presses the people, but drugs and violence. He also quoted from the poem “State of Mind” by Walter D. Wintle, which states that:
“If you think you’ll lose,
you’ve lost,For out in the world you
� ndSuccess begins with a fel-
low’s will;It’s all in the state of
mind.” Mr. Williams asked the
gathering to consider that if we wish to be people of love and understanding, then we need to become mentors and stewards for the � ght for justice.
Closing comments were given by Dr. Greg Labyak, KC Vice President of Instruction.

Now it's the Democrats' turn to fret as Bernie Sanders surges. � e Dem-ocrats want to know what's wrong with their girl, Hillary Clinton. That's easy, she's not trustworthy! She's corrupt and wouldn't know the truth if it bit her. It's a traditional split. It's not like they haven't seen this before.
Remember Obama – Clinton. Hillary's run is a 2008 replay. She's the only candidate under investiga-tion by the FBI, and is justi� ably so. � e FBI has plenty to look at. Recently new emails have surfaced, above top secret (1,300 to 1,400 of them). This is nothing short of treason!
Things are going so badly for her that former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg is now consid-ering a run for the White House. With the an-nouncement of Bloom-berg's possible run, Hill-ary's reaction was, "He's a good friend of mine."
On to Bernie. At this point the polls are showing that he has a better chance of beating Trump than Hillary does, even though not one from the Demo-cratic establishment has endorsed Bernie.
� e fact that Bernie is calling for political revolu-tion has something to do with that. Not to mention he is a socialist, and the young adults' favorite pick.
In theory some of his ideas sound good, but re-alistically wages of $15 per hour will cost jobs. Free college for all? Someone is going to pay for that. Medicare for all? If you think the health care system is broken now — and it is — just wait! � ere's no quick � x. But there are better ways to � x broken systems instead of pouring more money into them.
Oh well! On to Trump and Cruz. Trump remains on top in spite of what the National Review says. By the way, Trump's wrong. � e National Review is a well respected conserva-tive magazine and far from dying!
� e Republican Party is every bit as fractured as the Democratic Party. And the Republican can-didates have been nastier by far than the Democrats for now, but it's picking up between Clinton and Sanders. I believe the Re-publican establishment's goal is to beat Cruz, who, according to many, is a nasty guy and not the Party's pick. Trump will take a number of states, and then in comes a new candidate, inserted by none other than the estab-lishment. Really! It's too late to run against Trump. � e big question should be: Who can run the country? Putting party
aside, it's apparent Barack Obama — who Clinton is hugging — couldn't do the job.
On to Iowa. We are just a week away from the Iowa Caucuses. Today Trump has an 11-point lead over Cruz. However, Iowa's biggest newspaper, � e Des Moines Resister, just endorsed Marco Rubio. I � nd that interest-ing since more money has been spent attacking Rubio than any other can-didate.
Keep in mind many Iowans make up their minds the day of the Caucus. � is will be the � rst big test for Donald Trump. But my prediction is Trump / Sanders in Iowa. And maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.
In closing, let me again encourage one and all to see the movie, 13 Hours: � e Secret Soldiers of Beng-hazi. I'm sure Hillary Clinton won't; a� er all, she slept through it the � rst time!
Until next week.

� e American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to make an appoint-ment to give this winter. Eligible blood donors of all types are needed, espe-cially those with O, AB, B negative and A negative.
Blood is needed to respond to emergencies large and small, across the country every day. For Heather Von Glahn, it was a personal emergency — her 8-year-old daughter’s leukemia diagnosis — that inspired her to make the commitment to give blood regularly. “I’ve seen blood save her life at least 10 times,” said Von Glahn. “When friends and family ask what they can do for my daughter, I tell them to donate blood. It matters so much!”
Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout the winter to maintain a su� cient blood supply for patients in need. Make an appointment to donate blood by download-ing the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Good Old Days Soup RecipesIn days gone by soups and stews helped southern cooks stretch their budgets. You could
feed a lot for a little. Cooks would take le� over roast beef, turkey, sausage or chicken and simmer it into a � avorful broth that could be � lled with vegetables, rice or pasta. In the winter, a big pot of soup might be on the stove early in the morning and le� to simmer all day. At night the soup would warm and nourish family members, and be served with fresh baked bread and butter. Today it's a di� erent lifestyle, but you can bring your family back to those good old days with the recipes below.
Vegetable, Bean and Sausage Soup1 lb. bulk pork sausage 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce1 large onion, chopped 1/2 tsp. salt1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper 1/4 tsp. garlic powder1/2 cup chopped celery 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves2 (16 oz.) cans kidney beans, drained 1/4 tsp. black pepper1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes, undrained 1 cup peeled and diced red potato and chopped 1 large carrot, scraped and thinly sliced
Brown sausage in large Dutch oven over high heat, stirring to crumble. Drain, reserv-ing 1 T. pan drippings; set sausage aside. Add onion, green pepper and celery to drippings; saute until tender. Add kidney beans, tomatoes, 1 quart water, tomato sauce, salt, garlic powder, thyme and black pepper, stirring well. Bring to boil over high heat; cover, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.

Cowboy Radio
Q: At a garage sale, I found a Hopalong Cassidy radio manufactured by Arvin. It is red with a metal front depicting the cowboy star astride his horse, Topper. I paid $250 for it, and my wife thinks I made a major mistake. — Tim, Alamo Heights, Texas
A: I spoke to several col-lectors and also consulted "Hopalong Cassidy Col-lectibles" by Joe Caro. Almost everyone agreed that your radio — in working order and in rea-sonable condition — is worth at least $1,000. � ere were several models in various colors, but the bottom line is you made a wise purchase.
***Q: I have inherited
several dozen pieces of Fenton glass, mostly from the 1950s and '60s. I don't collect Fenton, but I wonder if it is worth keeping. Is there a reference you can recom-mend so I can determine
whether I should keep or sell? —Della, Spring Branch, Texas
A: � ere are several ex-cellent guides, but I espe-cially like "Warman's Fenton Glass: Identi� cation & Price Guide" by Mark F. Moran and published by Krause Books. � is guide features current prices for more than 1,000 pieces of Fenton Glass in addition to the history of colors and designs. It also is illustrated with more than 800 full-color photos.
Incidentally, the Fenton Art Glass Company began in 1905 and produced crystal, carnival glass, opal-escent, milk glass, Vasa Murrhina and various other types of art glass.
***Q: During the 1940s, I
wrote dozens of letters to major motion picture stars requesting an autographed picture. More than 50 re-sponded, and I still have them. They include Bing Crosby, Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Betty Grable and
Harry James. Where can I sell them? — Joan, Planta-tion, Florida
A: Many of the so-called Hollywood autographed pictures were not signed by the actual stars but by em-ployees in the publicity departments of the studios. With that in mind, you might want to contact one of the larger autograph dealers, Conway's Vintage Treasures, 55 Corliss St., Box 40962, Providence, RI 02940. The website is cvtreasures.com. This company can determine if your signatures are authen-tic and, if so, the market value.

State Sen. Kyle McCarter is sticking up for private property rights of Illinois citizens by urging state and federal courts to reject any request for eminent domain authority from the corpora-tion behind the Grain Belt Express project.
McCarter � led Senate Resolution 1392 with the Illinois Senate Jan. 13.
� e 54th District senator also expressed concerns about the partial ‘green light’ given to the project by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC).
“� ere are two big issues here,” said McCarter. “� e � rst is that eminent domain actions, which result in the taking of private property, are supposed to be reserved for projects with a public interest or a public good. � e second issue is the in-volvement of the ICC regu-lating the transmission line project.”
� e corporation behind
the Grain Belt Express, Clean Line Energy Partners, is a group of investors that want to build transmission lines across privately-owned land in Illinois to carry wind-generated elec-trical power from western states.
“� e ICC should recon-sider their decision giving the project a designation as a ‘public convenience and necessity,’” said McCarter. “� at puts eminent domain in the bag of possible legal tricks, even though the transmission lines provide no bene� t to Illinois or its citizens. Eminent domain is supposedly reserved for what’s in the best interest of the public good,” said McCarter.
Under eminent domain, private property owners are supposed to receive fair compensation for property that is taken, but Sen. McCarter said he is con-cerned that landowners
may get less-than-ideal o� ers because of legal pres-sure.
Last year, McCarter sup-ported legislation that helps protect landowners in the path of a transmission line. Senate Bill 1726, which took effect last summer, requires the ICC to notify the landowners in the path of a proposed transmission line by registered mail.
“� is law makes sure the correct landowners are no-ti� ed ahead of time so that they can seek appropriate lega l counsel ,” said McCarter. “It also requires the transmission line company to notify the land-owner when a land survey is conducted on a person’s property a� er the ICC cer-ti� cate is issued. However,
while this protection is in place — as far as noti� ca-tion is concerned — the use of eminent domain is a big disadvantage to landown-ers.”
McCarter said when it comes to providing electri-cal power, he’d like to see more attention paid to real energy generation in Illinois.
“If the ICC is going to take actions to benefit energy generation, it should be about promoting and expanding the use of Illinois coal,” said McCarter. “To make it easy for wind power to blow through this state and not bene� t the state of Illinois, this project should be low on our prior-ity list,” said McCarter.
MCCARTER SUPPORTS PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS
A few "Friends of Sandoval FFA" members recently attended the Il l inois FFA Alumni Conference in Decatur. While at the conference, attendees were able to meet with FFA community sup-porters from around the state. Ideas were shared on how the community can help with FFA chapter pro-grams.

D E A R P A W ’ S CORNER: Can you feed leftover meal scraps to cats? My boyfriend says no; I say yes, because I’ve been feeding scraps to my three cats for years. What do you say? — Carole in Davenport, Iowa
D E A R C A R O L E : Feeding scraps to pets — dogs or cats — is not rec-ommended. The main reason is that food pre-pared for humans o� en contains ingredients that are harmful to pets, such as onions, garlic, raisins, avocado and many more. Scraps also can contain more fat than pets are used to, creating digestive prob-lems and setting them up for obesity. And le� overs
can be high in salt, which can be as detrimental to pets as it is to us.
However — and this is a big “however” — table scraps tend to get fed to begging cats anyway by kind-hearted owners or their guests. Or, cats just steal them o� counters when no one is looking. Is there a balance between the “absolutely no scraps” guideline and the “live and let live” tendency of some owners?
If you really want to share table scraps with pets, be very selective about what you share and how much. Fresh (not cured) meat, poultry or � sh are good. Trim away all fat, and make sure no gravy or seasonings are on the food. Serve pets only a small handful, and if they exhibit any health issues — excessive vomit-ing, lethargy or other symptoms — contact a vet right away.
A healthier option is to prepare a small amount
of protein and vegetables separately for your pets as you cook dinner. Leave out seasonings and con-sider steaming or roast-
ing the food rather than cooking in oil. Cool com-pletely before serving to pets.

14 The Shoppers Weekly Papers Centralia / Salem Area Wednesday, January 27, 2016
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Single Lambs looking for romance could � nd Cupid especially accom-modating this week. Paired part-ners also � nd their relationships bene� ting from the chubby cherub’s attention.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep your keen Bull’s eye focused on your target, and shake o� any attempt to turn your attention else-where. You should get some news later in the week that might answer some questions.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your early enthusiasm for a project might have been somewhat pre-mature. Although you feel posi-tive about it, you might need more information in order to make an informed decision.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Taking on a new responsibility might seem like the politically correct thing to do. But even with the promise of support, was it the wisest? Consider reassessing your upcoming decision.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Apply yourself to completing your task despite all the distractions that might be interfering with your work. � en reward yourself with a weekend of fun shared with people who are close to you.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A business agreement from the past might need to be looked at again. Use this unexpected devel-opment to check out other matters related to it. A weekend venture proves to be rewarding.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Don’t ignore that uneasy feeling
about making a commitment. It could be a case of understandably cold feet, or a warning that some-thing isn’t as right as it should be.SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem-ber 21) A colleague could be more supporting of one of your e� orts. But it’s up to you to make the case for it, and that could mean opening up a secret or two, which might be a problem for you.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Expect some good news about a relative you’ve been worried about. But don’t expect the full story to be told -- at least not yet. A workplace matter might face shi� ing priorities.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Despite some anxious moments, you could have good rea-son to be pleased with how things are turning out. An end-of-the-week call might hold some interest-ing information.AQUARIUS (January 20 to Febru-ary 18) A long-overdue expression of appreciation could be o� ered soon. But admit it: You never really expected it would happen, right? Meanwhile, keep your weekend op-tions open.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to dive right into a new challenge, whether it’s learning a computer app, or how to drive a stick shi� , or making a new friend. Whatever it is, good luck.BORN THIS WEEK: You see the wisdom in honesty, and you help others appreciate your vision.
• It was 20th-century British journalist, travel writer and literary critic Dame Rebecca West who made the following sage observation: "I myself have never been able to � nd out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that di� erentiate me from a doormat."
• Th e infamous Ouija board may be surround-
ed by controversy, but the origin of its name is not mysterious; the cre-ators simply combined the French word for "yes" — "oui" — with the German a� rmative — "ja."
• Everybody is afraid of something, right? And whatever the fear, there's doubtless a name for it. For example, erythro-phones are afraid of blushing, peccatophobes are afraid of sinning, and
aichmophobes are afraid of needles. If you're afraid of going insane, you're lyssophobic; if it's disease that frightens you, you're nosophobic; cremnophobia is a fear ofs precipices. There's even a word to describe the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth: arachibu-tyrophobia. And � nally, you may at this point be su� ering from sesquipe-dalophobia — the fear of long words.
• Located in the Sierras at 8,000 feet above sea level, the town of Bodie was once the second-biggest city in California. � ese days, it's deserted for most of the year, but
every summer more than 200,000 people travel to the upper altitudes just to see the slowly decay-ing town, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the ghosts that reputedly inhabit every crumbling building that remains.
• Alcoholic beverages are pretty widespread across cultures. � ere's even a recipe for Eskimo wine: "Put a seagull in a bottle. Fill with water. Let it ferment in the sun."
***� ought for the Day:
"We're in the same tent as the clowns and the freaks — that's show busi-ness."— Edward R. Murrow
