The 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 delicious nuts and candies, as well as magazines and they hope you will support teh girls by making a purchase.

“The Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program is an integral part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience where girls gain hands-on experience with � ve skills linked to leadership 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 success-ful ever,” she added. “When you see a girl selling, please support her by ordering 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 im-measurable 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 addi-tion, proceeds from the program help Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI) recruit and train adult vol-unteers, provide � nancial

assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls, improve and maintain camp properties and develop and deliver unique leadership program ac-tivities for girls.

During the Nut, Candy & Magazine Program, girls will sell items such as whole cashews, deluxe pecan clusters, fruit slices and English Butter To� ee. One item, Mint Treasure, will be sold in a special limited Girl Scout collect-ible tin. Also new this year are: Honey Mustard Pre t z e l Mi x , D ar k Chocolate Caramel Caps with Sea Salt and Black Forest Trail Mix. In addi-tion, hundreds of maga-zines 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.

Hundreds of locals and car show participants came to Rend Lake College’s campus last Saturday to enjoy a beautiful day at the third annual Warrior Fest. Events were spread across campus, including a car show with more than 60 participants on the east side, children’s activities and the annual Big Truck Day on the west side, and a � ea market and vendors in the middle.

Children explored big trucks, tractors, emergency vehicles, and many more items during Big Truck Day.

Proceeds from the car show went toward scholar-ships for future RLC stu-dents interested in the Automotive Technology program. One RLC student also received a “Pathway to Success” scholarship, cour-tesy of the RLC Foundation.

Rend Lake College AmeriCorps students helped children on the Velcro Inflatable Wall as part of Big Truck Day. Children could also par-ticipate in a petting zoo and free dental checks through-out the day.

There were 16 special awards for car show en-trants. The results are as follows.

Vernon, 1967 Ford Mustang; Best GM: Terr y Hale of Waltonville, 1970 Chevy Nova; Best Mopar: Rod Wallace of Harrisburg, 1969 Plymouth Road Runner; Best Orphan: Rich Tygett of Sesser, 1933 Willys 77; Best Street Rod: Jim Dorris of Sesser. 1937 Chevy Sedan; Best Paint: Tick Zumberac of Sesser, 1957 Chevy Bel Air Coupe; Best Interior: Rick Taylor of Woodlawn, 1968 Chevy Camaro; Best Motor: Jerry Lampp of Tinley Park, 1963

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 defi 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?"

Th 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" aft 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. Th 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. Th at's the reason for the drop of her numbers in the polls.

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

It all goes back to what I've said before: Th 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.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget public policy can collide with private pain. I saw that pain Th ursday 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. Th at in itself isn’t surprising. McCarter has carved a niche in the Illinois General Assembly as a � scal conservative.

What makes his situation unusual is that he lost his 21-year-old daughter to a heroin overdose. “My daughter, Amber, was absolutely 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 teenager, 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. Th 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 recover-ing addicts and others facing serious challenges as part of

their support of Mercy Ministries, a faith-based recov-ery program. Not only does he provide a home, but he also o� ers job opportunities 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 pro-

grams are popular with voters and even the harshest opponent would be hard-pressed to criti-cize the father of a child who died of a heroin overdose 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 government-sponsored programs work.” In fact, more than 90 percent of heroin addicts who go through reha-bilitation 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 solu-tion to the heroin epidemic lies

with peer-based preventative programs and faith-based treat-ment. “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 gov-ernment 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 effective way to treat heroin addiction, it’s impossible to question the sincerity of

McCarter’s beliefs.Scott Reeder is a veteran state-

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

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

Where Two Ways Met – Part 1

Decisions can dra-matically 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. � ey were to bring it to Jesus and he would ride it into Jerusalem, fulfilling prophecy as the multi-tude proclaimed and praised him as the Messiah. (Zechariah 9:9; Psalm 118:26-29)

It was at the cross-road where two ways met, where the disciples found the colt. It would be an intersection of the old and new covenant. Jesus taught that new wine must not be put in old wineskins lest the bottles burst and the wine is wasted. Tradi-tion and the old way is di� cult for many to let

go. But the disciples found the colt at the in-tersection, “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 dif-ference.” 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 de-clares, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new crea-ture: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (II Corinthians 5:17)

The church is at a juncture where two ways meet. Do you go God’s way or man’s way? Man’s way is to view the church as a business en-terprise, an entertain-ment complex, a civic club, or a social move-ment. 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.

T H E WAY O F D I V I N E P R OV I -DENCE. 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 co-incidence that it hap-pened as Jesus said it would. (Mark 11:1-4) God is actively involved in the affairs of man. God’s way is to pray, listen, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in immediate obe-dience.

THE WAY OF PRAISE. As Jesus rode on a donkey into Jeru-salem, 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 forbidding the crowds to praise and worship him. Jesus said, “I tell you, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” (Luke 19:40) He is worthy of all praise. When you enter his presence with praise, he enters your circum-

stances 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 admiring 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 Je-rusalem 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! (Rev-elation 19:11-16) Praise the King of all Kings.

You are at an inter-section 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.

• It was Che Guevara — physician, author, revolution-ary, guerrilla leader and dip-lomat — who made the

following sage observation: "Silence is argument carried out by other means."

• If you've ever awakened from a dream feeling espe-cially calm and content, you've experienced euneiro-phrenia.

• Th ose who study such things say that, on a per-

capita basis, residents of Louisiana consume twice as much electricity as residents of Maine.

• Of all the works of art stolen in Europe, 60 percent of it ends up in London.

• Th e name Samantha is thought by some to be a com-bination of the biblical name Samuel and anthos, the Greek word for flower. During Puritanical times the name became associated with witchcra� , causing a steep decline in its usage. When the TV series "Bewitched" pre-miered in 1964 — featuring a witch named Samantha — the name began steadily gaining in popularity. By 2009, it was the ninth most popular name for girls born in the U.S.

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.
