� e Godfather Reimagined

When young Vito � rst tried out for the football team, he was rejected for being too small. Besides, his brothers before him had been seen as a bit too violent, and his father didn't get along with the guy in charge of the league. In fact, the two had a very public ex-change at an awards banquet that led to the family getting black-balled from the commu-nity's social circuit.

What Vito lacked in size he made up for in perception. His parents died young and he had since moved to another school district with his e x t e n d e d f a m i l y. Embarrassed of his accent, he worked around the edges of the school-yards a bit. Still, he made a quick reputation for himself as a club boxer, where he raged like a bull, trouncing oppo-nents, and soon he had gained a reputation for being a hardworking guy.

He started a company with a friend that im-ported an organic energy drink, married a sweet girl and soon became wealthy enough to move

out to the suburbs, where he went on to grow a family. His upward climb continued until his drinks were served in every stadium. He had power and in� uence.

One day, a quarterback asked for a meeting. He was on the downside of his career and he wanted Vito and his adopted son, Tom, a persistent and principled sports agent (but not a fan of race-horses), to represent him again. � is time, he was looking to quarterback out in Los Angeles, where they had not one, but two pro teams in town.

"I'm perfect for the Raiders o� ense," he said, beginning to sob. "It's the perfect o� ense for me ... long bombs on every single play ... but the owner and GM ... this one guy ... he won't sign me. What can I do?"

To his surprise, Vito jumped up and smacked him.

"You can be a RAM!"Tom was dispatched to

negotiate the very next day. At � rst, the owner/GM would not take his call. Upon learning of his pedigree, however, he changed his tune and invited him to his palatial estate for dinner. Before

dinner, the owner took Tom on a tour of his walk-in closet.

"Tom ... why didn't you tell me you were sent by G enco B e verages? Anyway, these are my leather jackets ... and this one ... this one I won't even wear. It was worn by Henry Winkler when he jumped the shark on "Happy Days." No ... this one stays here."

He petted the jacket, so� ly cooing, "Fonzi ... Fonzi ..."

But dinner did not go so well. The mere mention of Leather Tuscadero sent the owner/GM into a � t.

"He never gets that starting job! And let me tell you another thing, bucko! I ain't gonna sit on it for anyone! I ain't no Richie Cunningham!"

Tom wiped his mouth and excused himself as the owner carried on.

� e next morning the owner/GM woke up to find his prized leather jacket replaced with a jean jacket. On the back, a red patch was sewn reading "Joanie loves Chachi." The screams could be heard all the way back to Oakland.

A few weeks later, the Godfather got a bunch of � owers sent to his o� ce. The quarterback had gotten the starting job.

"How'd you do it," he was asked.

He shrugged."I gave him a jacket he

couldn't use."Mark Vasto is a veteran

sportswriter who lives in New Jersey.

� e 2015 Girl Scout Nut, Candy & Magazine Program began Sept. 26 and runs through Oct. 17. Girl Scouts throughout southern Illinois will be taking orders for de-licious nuts and candies, as well as magazines and they hope you will support the girls by making a purchase.

“The Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program is an integral part of the Girl S c o u t L e a d e r s h i p Experience where girls gain hands-on experience with � ve skills linked to leader-ship and � nancial literacy,”

said Kelly Jansen, GSSI Product Program Manager. “I am so excited to work with our girls and volunteers to make this year’s Girl Scout Nut, Candy & Magazine Program the most successful ever,” she added. “When you see a girl selling, please support her by order-ing one of the yummy Girl Scout treats or purchase a magazine; this will help her achieve her sales goals and learn valuable business skills,” Jansen added.

The Girl Scout Nut, Candy & Magazine Program

generates immeasurable results for girls and their communities. Girls who participate in the 2015 Fall Product Program benefit from “learning by earning” and develop � ve valuable life skills — goal setting, deci-sion making, money man-agement, people skills and business ethics. In addition, proceeds from the program help Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) recruit and train adult volunteers, provide � nancial assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls, improve and

maintain camp properties and develop and deliver unique leadership program activities for girls.

During the Nut, Candy & Magazine Program, girls will sell items such as whole cashews, deluxe pecan clus-ters, fruit slices and English Butter To� ee. One item, Mint Treasure, will be sold in a special limited Girl Scout collectible tin. Also new this year are: Honey Mustard Pretzel Mix, Dark Chocolate Caramel Caps with Sea Salt and Black Forest Trail Mix. In addi-tion, hundreds of magazines will be available through QSP for those wishing to purchase a new subscription

or renew an existing one. For more information about the items girls will be selling during the Nut, Candy & Magazine Program, please visit GSSI’s website at www.gsofsi.org.

� e Girl Scout Mission is that Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, con� dence and character who make the world a better place. Today’s Girl Scouts not only enjoy camping and cra� s, but they also explore math and science and learn about di-versity, good citizenship, leadership and teamwork. Girl Scouting is the place where girls experience the fun, friendship and power of girls together.

It's with mixed emotions I write this story about the Niermanns, because they have been a part of my life for 50 years. I met Barb at Vasel's Jewelry in down-town Centralia and Kent at a feed store in Walnut Hill. When Kent and Barbara opened � e Feed Bin and Garden Center 26 years ago, they started advertis-ing with the then-one-year-old Shopper's Weekly, giving me the opportunity to work with them.

For close to three decades, since the Feed Bin opened their doors in 1989, they have � lled the needs of thousands of customers.

Barb's retail background and Kent's farm back-ground made the perfect combination for a success-ful business. When the store opened they sold mainly pet food and sup-plies. � ey slowly expand-ed, adding plants, trees, shrubs, garden seeds, land-scaping supplies, hanging baskets, � owers and a huge gi� shop, not to mention the largest selection of bird feeders in the area.

When I asked Barb what she would miss the most, she told me that they will "miss working with people,"

but I'm sure not as much as their customers will miss them!

The Niermanns said upon retirement they plan on taking some time to just relax, and possibly do a little traveling. Barb said that if she gets bored I'll see her pop in � e Shopper's Weekly for a cup of co� ee, and I can assure both Barb and Kent they will be more than welcome.

� e last day the Feed Bin will be open is September

30. A� er normal business hours it will close. An auction will be held at a later date for any inventory le� , as well as the remov-able buildings. � e Feed Bin building and three lots in their possession will also be up for sale.

So I have mixed emo-tions. I'm so happy for them because their retire-ment is well earned, yet I'll miss seeing and working with them. But I know our friendship will last forever.

PATTY BROUGH SEEKS RE-ELECTION

Sometimes it’s easy to forget public policy can collide with private pain. I saw that pain Thursday while chatting with state Sen. Kyle McCarter.

McCarter, a Republican from downstate Lebanon, was one of only 11 senators who opposed a $60 million plan to provide taxpayer-funded treatment to heroin addicts. � at in itself isn’t surprising. McCarter has carved a niche in the Illinois General Assembly as a � scal conservative.

What makes his situa-tion unusual is that he lost his 21-year-old daughter to a heroin overdose. “My daughter, Amber, was ab-solutely beautiful and so smart and so headstrong. I can’t imagine where she got that last trait. But it wasn’t from her mother,” he said with a sad smile.

Amber, who became in-volved with drugs as a teen-ager, was found dead in 2006 along railroad tracks in Brooklyn, Ill., a hard-luck village near East St. Louis. His daughter had just le� drug rehabilitation. “She had been o� drugs for 45 days and she was doing great and then for some reason decided to use again. � e dose of heroin she used was mixed with fentanyl and her body just couldn’t take it,” McCarter said as tears welled in his eyes.

McCarter is a man who cares about the addicted. He and his wife open their home to recovering addicts and others facing serious challenges as part of their s u p p o r t o f M e r c y Ministries, a faith-based recovery program. Not only does he provide a home, but he also o� ers job op-portunities in his business for those in recovery.

From a strictly political point of view, it’s hard to discern why McCarter would vote the way he did. Drug-treatment programs are popular with voters and even the harshest opponent would be hard-pressed to criticize the father of a child who died of a heroin over-dose for voting for such a measure.

But McCarter voted just

the opposite. “I voted against the program because the state is broke and doesn’t have $60 million for a new program. But, more importantly, I don’t think these govern-ment-sponsored programs work.” In fact, more than 90 percent of heroin addicts who go through rehabilita-tion use again. Admittedly, some folks who backslide later become sober, but that is small conciliation for a family like the McCarters who lost their daughter on the � rst relapse.

“Some people voted for this because they wanted to show they care,” he said. “But you can’t just throw money at a problem and expect it to be solved. We all care.”

McCarter believes the solution to the heroin epi-demic lies with peer-based preventative programs and faith-based treatment. “Young people need to know they are loved, they are valued and they are important to God. And they need to hear it from their peers” he said. “And that needs to be shared in the way they communicate — social media.”

And when it comes to helping addicts, McCarter said the solution lies outside of government with individuals and religious

institutions providing funding for treatment. He wishes such a program had been available for his daughter.

While one may debate the most e� ective way to treat heroin addiction, it’s impossible to question the sincerity of McCarter’s beliefs.

–Mignon McLaughlin

In the news:• Pope Francis' visit to

America• John Boehner resigns as

House Speaker• U.S. State Department dis-

covers chain of emails from Hillary

Pope Francis was the high-light of last week. Pope Francis' three-leg tour in the United States ended Sunday and was under intense media coverage. For me, Pope Francis demon-strates perfect leadership, some-thing that's absent in the major-ity of our leaders today.

He is de� nitely the people's pope, an extraordinary indi-vidual full of goodness, and an example of humility. As a leader, his lesson to all was be better to each other. His other concerns were:

• Respect for life• Respect for family• Th e importance of religious

freedom• Climate change• ImmigrantsHe also pointed out what

each of us can do to change what is, referring to Philadelphia-born Katharine Drexel — later recognized as a saint — who during an 1887 audience was asked, "What about you? What are you going to do?"

� is was a papal visit like no other. Many lives were changed both, Catholics and non-Cath-olics, Christians and non-Chris-tians. He is a force of love that no one can deny.

Each of us should look at our own standard of behavior and be reminded daily of what he said when he responded to a rapidly changing society, "Each of us has to respond as best we can."

In closing on our holy father, I truly believe many of us in this country needed to be reminded of what should be the most im-portant to us, our faith.

On to Speaker of the House John Boehner, a devout Catho-lic who resigned his position within 24 hours a� er meeting with the Pope. I truly believe the upcoming battle over defunding

Planned Parenthood had some-thing to do with his decision. Boehner's statement was, "I decided today's the day" a� er praying.

I realize the majority of Americans prefer NO shut-down, but I think they would prefer that over giving tax dollars to any organization pro-viding abortions and possibly being involved in selling unborn baby body parts, a practice so despicable I can't even imagine!

John Boehner has been the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives since 2011, making him the second for the Presidency, behind Joe Biden the Vice President. On Sept. 25 he told his colleagues he will step down on Oct. 30.

Boehner's exit creates an opening for the more conserva-tive wing of the House caucus. Boehner has long faced intense pressure from his conservative colleagues to take more of an ideologically purist stance on divisive issues like government funding, Obamacare and, most recently, the funding of Planned Parenthood even if it risked a government shutdown.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R- KS) was asked who will run for Speaker. He said, "Everyone." My prediction: Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will be the next House Speaker.

John Boehner is a prime example of what the Republican Party used to be, and upon his resignation, what the establish-ment lost.

Up next, under oath Hillary said she turned over all emails. Whoops, another lie. Last week the State Department received Clinton's email chain appar-ently not included in pages turned over. Many of these email messages were exchanged with former Army General David Petraeus. Some of these mes-sages begin before Clinton entered the o� ce of Secretary of State.

Government o� cials did say the emails largely pertained to personnel matters. � e key word here is largely, meaning not all. Yet with Hillary as well as Bill

there is always a play on words. Words and phrases like: "vast majority... was the focus... gee, I thought we did... the system was already there... the fact is... there's something about this I can't control... they found gaps...you mean wipe it with a cloth..." and of course, "it's my attorney's fault." Amazing this is a woman that says a lot and says nothing at the same time.

But, of course, the best one and primary excuse is she's not technical, and when asked she just said, referring to the emails le� , just get rid of them. She said she handled everything to the best of her ability. Well, folks, if that's the best of her ability, she doesn't need to be the President. But, of course, Bill Clinton said the email issue is the GOP's fault. � at's the reason for the drop of her numbers in the polls.

Sound familiar? � e Obama administration's famous line: It's Bush's fault!

It all goes back to what I've said before: � e Clintons will say or do anything, or change their position, for a vote or a dollar. Prime example, looking back: Hillary, as a Senator voted for the Iraq war. Make no mistake, she was part of it. She made the statement that mar-riage is between a man and woman, before she supported same-sex marriage. She was for the Keystone Pipeline before she was against it. And I could go on and on about her � ip � ops.

I think Bill needs to explain to his wife what under oath means; he should know. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to testify before the committee investigat-ing the Benghazi attack in October. Do I look for her to go to jail? No, she's a Clinton, and in my opinion, a disgrace.

Until next week.

CookingWith Lizzie

In the fall, the real action takes place in the kitchen and in the vegetable garden, when greens, cabbage and sweet potatoes are at their peak. But my favorite time to cook and bake is the fall and throughout the holidays.

Sunday in our house is family time. For us it's the perfect time to catch up with one another over the dining room table. � is Sunday's menu is Apple Baked Pork Roast, Pecan Glazed Brussels Sprouts, Ice Box Rolls and Pantry Chess Pie with freshly brewed iced tea.

Apple Baked Pork Roast1 (4 to 5 lbs.) rolled boneless 3 T. apple jelly pork loin roast 2 T. honey mustard1 tsp. dried whole rosemary, crushed 2 T. apple juice1/2 tsp. salt 1 T. brown sugar1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat oven to 325° F. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting pan. Rub roast with rosemary; sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Insert meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch fat. Bake 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove roast from oven; leave oven on. Combine apple jelly, honey mustard, apple juice and brown sugar, stirring well. Brush roast with jelly mixture. Continue to bake at 325° F. for 15 to 30 minutes, or until thermometer registers 160° F. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

Pecan Glazed Brussels Sprouts1½ lbs. fresh brussels sprouts 3 T. soy sauce1/2 cup water 1/4 tsp. salt1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine 1/2 cup � nely chopped pecans, toasted1/3 cup � rmly packed brown sugar

Wash brussels sprouts thoroughly, and remove discolored leaves. Cut o� stem ends and slash bottom of each sprout with a shallow "X." Bring 1/2 cup water to boil in large saucepan; add brussels sprouts. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, or until sprouts are crisp-tender; drain and set aside. Melt butter in medium skillet; stir in brown sugar, soy sauce and salt. Bring butter mixture to boil, stirring constantly. Add pecans; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add brussels sprouts; cook over medium heat 5 minutes; stir well before serving. Yield: 6 servings.

Mary Emma's Ice Box Rolls1 cup water 2 packages active dry yeast1/3 cup unsalted butter or margarine 1 cup warm water (105° to 115°F)1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening 2 eggs, beaten3/4 cup sugar 6 cups all-purpose � our1 ½ tsp. salt

Combine 1 cup water with butter, shortening, sugar and salt in saucepan; heat over low heat until butter and shortening melt. Let cool until temperature registers 105° to 115° F. on candy thermometer. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water in large mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in cooled melted shortening mixture and eggs. Gradually add 2 cups � our, beating with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining � our to form thick dough. Turn dough out onto � oured surface, and knead 5 to 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in well greased bowl, turning to grease top; cover and refrigerate 1½ to 2 hours.

Punch dough down; turn dough out onto lightly � oured surface. Roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut rounds with 2½-inch cutter. With dull edge of knife, make a crease just o� center on each round. Fold over so that top overlaps slightly; gently press edges together. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in warm place (85° F.), free from dra� s, for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Preheat oven to 400° F. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden. Yield: 3 dozen.

Pantry Chess Pie1½ cups sugar 1/4 cup milk1 T. cornmeal 1/4 cup unsalted butter1/4 tsp. salt or margarine, melted4 eggs, beaten 1 Single-Crust Pie Pastry, unbaked1½ tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine sugar, cornmeal and salt in small bowl; mix well. Combine eggs and vanilla in medium bowl; beat well. Add sugar mixture, milk, and butter to egg mixture; beat until smooth. Line 9-inch pie plate with pastry; trim and � ute edges. Pour in � lling. Bake 30 minutes, or until set. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

• "To remove spots from suede, try using an art gum eraser." — J.C. in Florida

• Wet weather can aff ect your outdoor appliances, making rust a problem. It can even happen to the metal end of a lightbulb in an outdoor � xture. Coat threads of the light bulb with petroleum jelly to keep it from rusting and becoming hard to unscrew.

• To remove scuff s from linoleum � oors, simply cut a small "X" into a tennis ball and push the tip of your broom handle into it. When you come across a sticky spot while sweep-ing, � ip the broom and rub the spot with the tennis ball.

• Boots will be coming out of storage soon, while pool and beach supplies will be packed away for the winter. Save your pool noodles to keep boots sitting upright. Simply cut a pool noodle to the height of the boot top, and insert. Lo and behold, the boots

won't � op over. � is will extend the life of your boots.

• "As you pack away your pool supplies, you might want to save the water wings for this cruise/duty-free alcohol hack: Use blow-up arm � oaties to protect your liquor bottles while being trans-ported in luggage. Use one or a set depending on the size of the bottle." — T.T. in Georgia

• Got dogs? Here's a great recipe to get the smell of skunk out: Mix 1 quart hydrogen peroxide (3 percent), 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 teaspoon liquid soap. Mix well and bathe pet in this solution, rubbing it into coat and keeping it away from your dog's eyes. It can't be made ahead, so keep the ingre-dients on hand if you have curious pups and skunks in the area.

Cats Shun Litter Box

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My son’s two cats will not use the litter boxes at all! � ey will defecate in them, but only urinate on the carpet or � oor. We helped him clean the carpets, which seemed to help some, and blocked o� areas they were urinating on. But now they just go in a di� erent spot. Our vet said to take the lids o� the three boxes, but that didn’t work. What will help stop the madness? — Tim H., via email

DEAR TIM: Litter-box avoidance is one of the biggest issues cat owners can have. Even when you rule out most of the pos-sible causes, the problem may never be totally solved. However, you’re taking

some very good steps to minimize it.

First, your son is in touch with the cats’ vet. � is is important in order to rule out any illness, such as a urinary tract infection, causing elimination outside the box. Second, you’ve thoroughly cleaned the soiled areas and tried to keep the cats away. � ird, access to the boxes is un-impeded because the lids are o� .

Now it’s time to try a few more things. A “keep-away” spray, available at pet supply stores, could make the marked areas much less desirable. Cleaning both the carpet and the padding underneath with an enzy-matic cleaner that neutral-izes odors also can help. Scooping the boxes daily is essential, too.

Next, observe the cats’ behavior closely. Is there some con� ict? Is one cat preventing the other’s access, or disturbing the other cat while it’s trying to

go? Are both cats marking the carpet, or just one?

For more tips on solving this problem, go to the

ASPCA website at www.aspca.org and do a search for “litter box problems.”

FALL INSTRUMENTAL CONCERT SET FOR OCTOBER 6 AT KASKASKIA COLLEGE

As fall crop harvest is underway in some areas and will be in full swing before we know it, each Sandoval Jr./Sr. High school student spent one class period outside on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The Friends of Sandoval FFA coordinated the day to help educate the youth on how to safely share the road with farm equip-ment.

The school extends a huge thank you to Scott Dykstra, Van Dykstra, TJ Bolin, Ken Heinzmann and South Central FS employees Josh Morton and Rick Garner for spending the day with the students. These presenters have real life ex-perience in driving the farm equipment on the road and

how to be the safest when sharing the road.

Pictured are scenes from the event.

Where Two Ways Met – Part 1

Decisions can dramati-cally a� ect your life. In the New Testament we come to life altering interchanges, “And they went their way and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.” (Mark 11:4) � e Triumphal Entry of Jesus began the Passion Week that would forever alter history and the future of mankind. Jesus sent two of his disciples into a certain village. � ere they were to � nd a colt tied that had never been ridden. They were to bring it to Jesus and he would ride it into Jerusalem, ful� lling prophecy as the multitude proclaimed and praised him as the Messiah. (Zech-ariah 9:9; Psalm 118:26-29)

It was at the crossroad where two ways met, where the disciples found the colt. It would be an intersection of the old and new cove-

nant. Jesus taught that new wine must not be put in old wineskins lest the bottles burst and the wine is wasted. Tradition and the old way is di� cult for many to let go. But the disciples found the colt at the inter-section, “And they loose him,” and brought him to Jesus.

In his classic poem “� e Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost wrote, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the di� erence.” Perhaps you are at an intersection in your life. Are you going to go God’s way or your way? Jesus said his way is the narrow way, but it leads to life. (Matthew 7:14) God’s Word declares, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (II Corinthians 5:17)

� e church is at a junc-ture where two ways meet. Do you go God’s way or

man’s way? Man’s way is to view the church as a busi-ness enterprise, an enter-tainment complex, a civic club, or a social movement. Jesus emphasized that he and he alone would build his church. (Matthew 16:18) In Mark 11 there are 10 aspects of how he builds his church and how we can do his work his way.

THE WAY OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE. Jesus gave the disciples specific in-structions in where to go, what to do, and what to say, when they found the colt. It was not a coincidence that it happened as Jesus said it would. (Mark 11:1-4) God is actively involved in the a� airs of man. God’s way is to pray, listen, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in immediate obedience.

THE WAY OF PRAISE. As Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem, people laid palm branches in his path and hailed him as Christ, the King. (Mark 11:8-10) The religious leaders rebuked Jesus for not for-bidding the crowds to praise and worship him. Jesus said, “I tell you, if these should hold their peace, the stones would im-mediately cry out.” (Luke 19:40) He is worthy of all praise. When you enter his

presence with praise, he enters your circumstances with power. A Facebook post put it this way, “Stop focusing on how stressed you are and remember how blessed you are.”

At a car wash I was ad-miring a friend’s white Hummer. White is a good color when it’s clean and shiny. But I began to think that as sweet as this white Hummer is, it doesn’t hold a candle to when Jesus returns. � e � rst time Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey as the suffering servant. When Jesus comes again, he will be riding a white horse and all the saints will be following him on white horses. Now that’s sweet! (Revelation 19:11-16) Praise the King of all Kings.

You are at an intersec-tion in your life. Will you go God’s way or your way? “� at if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9) Go God’s way by making Christ the Lord of your life.

Project Pride is a seasonal neighborhood recognition program sponsored by Keep Centralia Beautiful. � e recog-nition is presented to homes and businesses that have made a notable contribution to their

neighborhood through beauti-fication and upkeep of their property.

The City of Centralia has been divided into eight sections. One home in each section, along with one local business, will be

presented with this honor during the months of May through December. � is award is to those contributing to the beauti� cation of their neighbor-hood.

� is year’s committee will make their tours around the city to choose the homes and one business each month. The homes chosen will be provided a sign for their yard for that month, a certi� cate and recogni-tion in the Shoppers Weekly.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Al-though practical situations continue to dominate this week, there’s time for the Lamb to indulge in the fun things in life -- like maybe taking a special someone out for a great evening.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) � is week favors relationships. Take time to renew old ones, and make time to go where new friends can be found. On a more practical note, expect news about a business deal.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You should be seeing some progress on that new workplace situation. Mean-while, family matters might demand more attention, and you’ll want to set aside time to deal with them.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A rela-tionship suddenly might present some challenges you never expected. A� er talking things out, you might want to consider taking some time to assess what you’ve learned.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A disap-pointing response to a request might dampen the Lion’s spirits. But you might want to ask the reasons behind it. What you learn can be of great im-portance in a future undertaking.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A once-volatile situation should be settled by now, giving you a chance to refocus on a project you’ve been plan-ning for. Look for an interested party to rally to your support.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business matter that unexpectedly turns into a personal situation could

create complications. Best to resolve the matter now before too much harm can be done.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Emotions can run high when they involve personal matters that no one really wants to talk about. But this could be a good time to create the means to a workable outcome.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A positive response to a workplace request could lead the way to other long-sought changes. Con-gratulations. A personal situation also takes a welcome turn.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Patience pays o� , as that once-overwhelming work situation continues to become easier to handle on a one-by-one basis. Look for posi-tive news from a colleague.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be a good idea to take more time to reassess your next move in working out a complex situation. You could bene� t from a new perspec-tive on the matter. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You might want to consider making time to discuss a change of plans with everyone concerned. Be prepared to explain your actions. Also be prepared to listen to alternatives.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a strong sense of what is right, and you try to work from that foundation. Friends see you as reliable.

“Our 2014 and 2015 wall calendars were tremendous successes, not only with those who enjoy being out-doors in Illinois but those who recognize the impor-tance of teaching the youth of Illinois about wise use and management of our natural resources,” said Eric S c h m i d t , I l l i n o i s Conservation Foundation Executive Director.

“� is past year brought tremendous growth in the Foundation’s youth out-reach programs, with de-velopment of a catch-and-release � shing pond and shooting range at the To r s t e n s o n Yo u t h Conservation Education Center, as well as creation of a mobile education station that allows sta� to take programs on the road,” said Wayne Rosenthal, Chairman of the ICF Board and Director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Supplies of the 2016 ICF calendar are limited – and the calendars can be ordered today for shipment early this fall. � e calendar is the perfect holiday gi� for friends and family who are interested in the out-doors.

The 9-inch x 12-inch calendar contains stunning photography of Illinois and can be purchased for $12 through September 30, 2015 ($15 starting October 1, 2015). MasterCard or VISA orders can be placed at the secure Illinois Conservation Foundation website www.ilcf.org or by phone at 217-785-2003. Checks and money orders can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, ATTN Wall Calendar, One Natural Resources Way, Spring� eld, IL 62702-1271.

� e ICF is an IRS 501 (c) (3) not-for-pro� t cor-poration established in 1995 to support the pro-grams of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The ICF in-spires today’s youth – to-morrow’s leaders – by pro-viding quality outdoor education and programs that instill interest in con-servation, ecology and s u s t a i n a b i l i t y . Contributions are tax de-ductible to the fullest extent of the law. Purchases of the 2016 Illinois Conservation Foundation wall calendar will help further the ICF’s efforts to connect youth with nature by “Turning Screen Time into Green Time.”
