Hunting Isn’t Answer to Feral Cat Problem

D E A R P AW ’ S CORNER: � ere was a furor last summer over a veterinarian who shot a feral cat with an arrow.

While animal lovers’ fury was understandable, what wasn’t addressed is the massive population of feral cats in the United States. Cats are very ef-fective hunters and have decimated native popula-tions of small wildlife. What is your opinion on the suggestion to hunt feral cats rather than simply trap, neuter or spay, then release them back into the wild? — A Feral Cat Friend in Florida.

DEAR FRIEND: I think that we shouldn’t give up on TNR (trap, neuter, release) pro-grams, though addition-al solutions need to be looked into. Hunting isn’t one of those solu-tions.

In 2004, a study pub-lished in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association said that the population of feral cats in the U.S. was nearing the number of cats that had a home —

about 50 million feral versus 73 million domes-ticated. However, while about 85 percent of female cats that had owners were spayed, only 2 percent of feral female cats were. (www.avma.org/News/Jour-nals/Collections/Docu-m e n t s / j a v m a _ 225_9_1354.pdf) I wrote about the problem those many years ago, advocat-ing TNR.

Fast-forward to 2014: A TNR study conducted

in Alachua County, Florida, found that in-creasing awareness among area residents and encouraging them to TNR feral cats helped reduce the number of cats entering the local shelter by 66 percent. ( w w w . s c i e n c edirect .com/sciencearticle/pii/S109002331 4001841)

So, providing local education and resources to residents helps them actively and humanely

participate in the gradual reduction of feral cat colonies. Fewer cats in an area can help the local w i l d l i f e re b ou n d . Whether or not you own pets, you can play a role in reducing the feral cat population without using a bow and arrow. Start with organizations dedicated to achieving this, such as Alley Cat Allies at saveacat.org.

Aromatic oils: � e holi-days are not the same without the familiar scent of mint, cinnamon or pine. Some people resort to scented candles or aroma-therapy oils to create the

perfect holiday ambiance. But some synthetic aromas or even natural extracts can be toxic to cats and dogs. Stick to nontoxic items and keep them well out of the pet’s reach.

World War III and IV

World War IV has begun while World War III is still going strong. With the attacks on the citizens of France and the downing of the Russian airliner, the rest of the civilized nations may now take these terrorists much more seriously. These murder-crazed fanatics live in a world of delusions and falsehoods — a major symptom of insanity. While the leaders may know the real truth, they manipu-late and brainwash these lost humans into insane acts of violence.

Now is the time for the nations of NATO, Russia and Asian nations to unite — putting di� er-ences aside — and put an end to the threat of these depraved individuals. Let us not call these terror-ists Islamic. � ey are no more Islamic than Hitler was Christian. � at also goes for groups like skin-heads, Ku Klux Klan and other such groups with extreme and narrow views who use religion as their excuse for hatred and bigotry.

MT. VERNON CHRISTMAS PARADE

In the next few weeks we'll see a couple of debates, one Democrat-ic debate on Saturday, December 19 and one Republican debate on Tuesday, December 15. (Will they be game changers?) And before we know it, February will have arrived.

Right now many are saying, "Can anything stop Donald Trump? How many times can you poke a stick in someone's eye."

Today 19% of Ameri-cans say they can't trust their government. Amer-icans' overall views of the federal government are very negative: 74% of Americans believe most elected o� cials put their own interests ahead of the country's and 55% believe ordinary Ameri-cans would do a better job solving problems. In general, Americans are fed up with Washington, and who can blame them! Then there's Hillary Clinton and her email scandals, among other lies, and she's very much part of the current Wash-ington scene.

So at this point, what about Mr. Trump! It seems Trump supporters don't care what he says, they're going to support him! Recent polls show Trump is more trustwor-thy than Hillary Clinton. And I get that!

On the campaign trail, Cruz is rising and Bernie Sanders crowds are drop-ping. � ere are a lot of people that like Ben Carson but they don't see him as a leader.

Putting everything aside, I personally believe most are looking at sup-porting someone who has the greatest chance of keeping the homeland safe. Someone who can deal with the economy as well as someone who supports their views on gun control, abortion and healthcare. In other words, cultural issues. The big question is, which candidate � ts with your views?

To Colorado Springs. In the Planned Parent-hood siege, three lost their lives and numbers were wounded by a de-ranged individual. And of course, the main-stream media is trying to link the blame for this tragedy to people who are against abortion. You gotta love it. Let's blame those who have spoken out and voiced their opinions against Planned Parenthood, saying or alluding to comments that conversat ions against Planned Parent-hood could have played a part in this recent vio-lence in Colorado Springs.

Never mind that the shooter has had a long history of mental illness; has been a malcontent and drifter; a recluse living without running water and other human necessities for some people; had been arrested for animal abuse, among other crimes; and has no known affiliation with any anti-abortion group.

What happened is a tragedy, but let's blame the person responsible, the crazy that pulled the trigger. Obama, on the heels of this mass shoot-ing, issued a refrain for more gun control. Let me say people who desire to kill people will have no problem getting guns despite what the extreme liberals say.

And certainly pro lifers would never condone this killer's actions.

� e issue we need to be dealing with is the mental illness issue! � at's a huge problem in this country; it's apparent Obama doesn't get that!

Until next week.

Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois’ (GSSI) 2015 Nut, Candy & Magazine (NCM) Program was a tremendous success as 4,164 girls sold nearly $644,000 of the deli-cious nuts, candies and mag-azines. The following girls were the Top Sellers for their areas:

• Olivia Sipe from Centralia was the Top Seller for the Centralia area.

• Aubrey Ritter from Salem was the Top Seller for the East Marion County area.

• Taylor DeSmith from Mt. Vernon was the Top Seller for the Je� erson County area.

• Olivia Tipton from Sesser

was the Top Seller for the North Franklin County area.

Girls who participated in the NCM program benefit from “learning by earning” and developed � ve valuable life skills – goal setting, deci-sion making, money manage-ment, people skills and busi-ness ethics. Proceeds for the NCM program help GSSI develop leadership programs for girls, recruit and train adult volunteers, improve and maintain camp properties and provide � nancial assistance so Girl Scouting is available to all girls.

“We are extremely happy with the wonderful job our

girls did during this year’s Nut, Candy & Magazine Program,” said Kelly Jansen, GSSI Director of Product Program. “� e parents and volunteers are also to be commended; their commitment and support are vital to the success of the NCM program,” added Jansen.

Proceeds from Girl Scout Product Programs provide numerous opportunities for girls to help them grow into leaders for America. � rough their participation, girls also learn many valuable skills like goal setting, decision making and working together as a team.

If a person can a� ord health insurance coverage in 2016, but doesn’t sign up, there will be a penalty of up to $2,085 per family ($695 per adult and $347.50 per child) or 2.5% of family income, which-ever is higher.

• free preventive care and wellness services

• doctor visits• prescription drugs• hospital and emer-

gency department care

agement• pediatric services “If you signed up for

insurance through the marketplace in the past you will be automatically re-enrolled with the same plan. We can look to make sure you are getting the best plan for your indi-vidual needs. � e changes from year to year can be frustrating and confusing, and it can affect any income level and any age,” says Wilburn.

• On Dec. 2, 1859, in Charles Town, Virginia, abolitionist John Brown is executed on charges of treason, murder and insur-rection. Brown became militant during the mid-1850s, when he fought pro-slavery settlers in the sharply divided Kansas Free State territory.

• On Dec. 6, 1917, a Belgian steamer and French freighter, both loaded with ammunition, explode in Canada's Halifax Harbor, leveling part of the town and killing nearly 1,600 people and injuring some 8,000. � e ships carried 8 million tons of TNT in-tended for use in World War I.

• On Dec. 5, 1945, fi ve U.S. Navy torpedo-bomb-ers take o� from Florida on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. � e squadron leader later reported that his compass had failed and his position was unknown, and a rescue aircraft was dispatched with a 13-man crew. No trace of the 27 crewmen or six aircra� was ever found.

• On Dec. 4, 1956, the "Million Dollar Quartet"

convenes at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, in an historic impromptu jam session. Present were Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley. A tape recorded that day was not discovered until 1981.

• On Nov. 30, 1965, lawyer Ralph Nader pub-lishes the muckraking book "Unsafe at Any Speed." It became a bestseller and prompted the passage of seat-belt laws in 49 states (all but New Hampshire).

• On Dec. 3, 1979, eleven people are killed in a stam-pede outside a Who concert in Cincinnati when a crowd of general-admission tick-et-holders surged forward in an attempt to secure prime unreserved seats inside, known as festival seating.

• On Dec. 1, 1990, 132 feet below the English Channel, workers drill an opening through a wall of rock, connecting the two ends of an underwater tunnel linking Great Britain with the European main-land for the � rst time in more than 8,000 years. x

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer can have a substantial impact on a person’s health, a� ecting how well the body is able to process oxygen. Both can be a serious side e� ect of smoking, but is there a relationship between cancer and COPD?

Various experts, includ-ing the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

in collaboration with the Division of Cancer Prevention of the National Cancer Institute, have weighed in on the link between COPD and lung cancer. COPD appears to be a strong risk factor for lung cancer, even among people who have never smoked.

“Recent studies suggest that the genetic risk factors that predispose

smokers to COPD may overlap with those that predispose smokers to lung cancer,” said Brian Carlin, M.D., a pulmon-ologist and chairman of the COPD Alliance. “A majority of patients with lung cancer have underly-ing, but often undiag-nosed, COPD.”

� e Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund or-ganization notes that

more than half of all people with lung cancer also have COPD. Very often the symptoms of both conditions mesh. A person may discover he or she has COPD and then lung cancer, or vice-versa. Patients with either lung cancer or COPD often experience coughing and shortness of breath. � ey also may experience re-peated episodes of pneu-monia or bronchitis. But cancer may have its own distinct symptoms, such as hoarseness, blood in

sputum, weight loss, and lack of appetite.

Lung cancer and COPD both can be fatal condi-tions when detected too late. Although COPD cannot be reversed, there are lifestyle changes and medications that can make breathing easier. Quitting smoking can prevent more serious con-sequences down the line, and many people with early stage cancers can be cured. As with many types of cancers, the stage of the cancer at diagnosis heavily

in� uences prognosis.People can take steps to

stay on top of their pul-monary health. Quitting smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke is one of the most important things people can do. Recurring symptoms of coughing, shortness of breath or fatigue should be brought to the atten-tion of your doctor. If COPD is diagnosed, rec-ognize that lung cancer may not be far behind.

Many people desire to be healthier, and sales of nu-tritional supplements reflect such desires. A report by Packaged Facts t i t l e d “ Nu t r i t i o n a l Supplements in the U.S,” says supplement sales reached $11.5 billion in 2012 and have been climb-ing ever since.

In addition to an in-crease in supplement use, gym memberships also

have increased. IBIS World’s “Gym, Health & Fitness Clubs” market re-search report indicates the number of gym member-ships have increased in the last several years as con-sumers have become more health-conscious.

While these avenues to health certainly can be ben-e� cial, individuals also can turn to many health boost-ers in their own homes to help them achieve their goals of living healthier lifestyles.

being touted as a bene� cial addition to one’s daily diet. Lemon water can help reduce acidity in the body, including removing uric acid, a main cause of in-f lammation. Lemons contain pectin � ber, which can aid in weight loss by helping to fight hunger pangs. Lemons also contain a load of vitamin C, which can give the immune system a boost.

YogurtProbiotic pills can help

return healthy bacteria to the digestive system, but so can eating yogurt regularly. Look for yogurts that contain live and active cul-tures for optimal bene� t.

BicycleDust o� that bicycle that

has been hiding in your garage. Cycling is an excel-lent form of cardiovascular exercise, and riders can tailor their intensity levels to correlate to their ages and abilities. Many people � nd cycling an enjoyable form of activity because it gets them outside and o� en doesn’t feel like exercise.

Fruits and vegetablesProduce o� ers many of

the vitamins and minerals people look to supplements to provide. Including diverse fruit and vegetable choices in one’s diet can improve health in various ways, including providing a boost to the immune system.

HoneyHoney is a valuable su-

perfood that can boost overall health. In addition to soothing sore throats, it can serve as an antibiotic and wound healer, provide allergy protection, increase calcium absorption, and provide a source of energy without the insulin spike associated with other forms of sugar.

Being healthier is a goal for many people, and certain foods, beverages and products already in your home can help you get on a healthy track.

Chronic pain can be debilitating and interfere with daily life in various ways. Over-the-counter, anti-in� ammatory and analgesic drugs are some of the most widely used medications in the United States, but when such medications prove inef-fective, prescription pain relievers, which can be addictive, are o� en a pain su� erer’s next choice.

Consumer Reports in-dicates that roughly 45 people per day in America die from overdoses of opioid-containing pain medications, which include methadone, mor-phine, oxycodone, and h y d r o c o d o n e . Prescriptions for these drugs have climbed 300 percent in the last 10 years. Although opioids can be safe when used properly to treat short-term pain, too o� en their usage leads to misuse and dependence, especially when they are used to treat chronic pain.

For long-term pain from arthritis, research suggests that nonopioid medications and even nondrug treatments o� en provide relief with less risk of addiction and overdose than opioids. Reducing pain using al-ternative methods with less risk can involve re-thinking trips to the m e d i c i n e c a b i n e t . Doctors and naturalists may advocate for natural

pain relievers as a � rst step to managing pain.

MassageThere’s more to

massage than working out the kinks of tight muscles. Massage may help boost the body’s levels of endorphins and serotonin, both of which are natural painkillers and mood regulators. � e M a y o C l i n i c ’ s Complementary and Integrative Medicine Program has conducted a number of studies on massage as treatment for pain following surgery, ultimately finding that massage signi� cantly re-lieves pain and reduces anxiety.

Dietary ChangesPain is o� en linked to

inflammation in the body. When eating, choose foods that won’t worsen existing in� am-mation. Eating less sugar, dairy, and gluten prod-ucts, which can contrib-ute to in� ammation, can help a person feel better. Increase consumption of foods that reduce in� am-mation, such as raw veg-etables.Hot and Cold � erapy

Cold compresses can reduce inflammation quickly and also serve as a local anesthetic. Heat therapy can ease aches and pains and make muscles more flexible. Try applying a hot com-press prior to stretching to make limbs more

limber.Take the Sun

A Boston University study that examined 221 men and women with knee osteoarthritis found that those who spent 15 to 20 minutes in the sun increased their body’s production of vitamin D and experienced less pain as a result. When the sun is scarce, it’s adviseable to get between 400 and 800 IUs of vitamin D daily through supplements and foods.

Brisk WalkingFast walking is a low-

impact cardiovascular exercise that utilizes most of the body. Walking en-courages blood circula-tion, removes toxins, burns calories, and stabi-lizes blood fats and sugars. Plus endorphins released from exercise can help a person feel good. A great thing about walking is just about anyone can do it.Mind-Body Exercises

Exercises that combine focus with stretching can alleviate physical pain and improve mental clarity. Look for yoga, pilates and meditation classes and give them a try.

Chronic pain may be relieved with the use of natural remedies, which help pain su� erers reduce their reliance on over-the-counter or prescrip-tion medications.

A Beautiful Miracle

It happened at the temple gate cal led Beautiful. A man 40 years old, born lame, experi-enced a beautiful miracle of healing that brought multitudes to believe in the beautiful Savior called Jesus. (Acts 3) Isaiah prophesied of the work of Christ. “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor... to console those who mourn... to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning.” (Isaiah 61:1-3) When Peter and John saw this poor, lame, beggar sitting at the gate beautiful, they put their eyes of faith on him. Peter declared, “’Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk’... so he, leaping up,, stood and walked and entered the temple with them — walking, leaping, and praising God.” (Acts 3:1-10) In this healing miracle we see keys to New Testament faith that releases beautiful mira-cles.

THE HOUR OF PRAYER PREPARES GOD’S SERVANTS FOR MIRACLES. “Now Peter

and John went up to-gether to the temple at the hour of prayer.” (Acts 3:1-2) It appears that the disc iples obser ved regular times of corpo-rate prayer. Peter and John were going to a prayer meeting. � e old saints who moved the kingdom of God were called prayer warriors. Jesus asked his disciples in t he Garden of Gethsemane, “What! Could you not watch with me one hour?” (Matthews 26:40-41) If we had more prayer war-riors, we would have more miracles. (James 5:13-16) An hour of prayer can become an hour of power.

THE LAME BEGGAR EXPECTED SOME-THING. New Testament faith expects answers to prayer. “So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:5) Do you expect miracles from God? (Hebrews 11:1)

THE KEY TO NEW TESTAMENT FAITH IS JESUS. In the last two

days I have prayed for two lost keys. In each situation the Holy Spirit impressed on my mind where they were, In each case the owner said they had already looked in those locations, but a� er looking again — that’s where they were found. Peter declared to the lame beggar. “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6) � e man was instantly healed. Jesus is the key. Peter pro-claimed, “And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know.” (Acts 3:16) For many, faith in the name of Jesus is the lost key that, when found will release your miracle. As Chris Tomlinson’s song, “Indescribable” says, “Our God an amazing God.” It will take 10,000 years just to begin to sing of the indescribable glories of Jesus. (Romans 10:8-10)

BRINGING GLORY TO GOD IS THE P U R P O S E A N D B E A U T Y O F MIRACLES. The lame man was healed and went walking, leaping, and praising God. “And all the people saw him walking and praising God... and they were

� lled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” (Acts 3:8-10) Because of this miracle at the gate called Beautiful, over 5,000 men plus women and children came to believe in Christ Jesus. (Acts 4:4)

PREACHING JESUS IS A KEY TO NEW TES-TAMENT FAITH AND MIRACLES. Peter always took the opportunity that miracles provided to preach the beautiful name of Jesus. He preached the good news of Christ’s su� ering, cru-ci� xion, and resurrection from the dead. “But you denied the Holy One and the Just... and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” (Acts 3:11-16) � e Holy Spirit worked conviction of sin. “Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of re-freshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19-21) Repen-tance brings times of re-freshing.

What is the key to the beautiful gate of mira-cles? Faith in the name of Jesus.

• It was Scottish novel-ist and politician John Buchan who made the following sage observa-tion: "We can pay our debt to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves."

• Th e general board of the prestigious University of Cambridge has rec-ommended that the in-stitution hire a Professor of Lego. Yep. � e lucky academic will head up the Research Centre on

Play in Education, D e ve l opm e nt an d Learning. On a related note, Cambridge recent-ly received a donation of more than $6 million f r o m t h e L e g o Foundation.

• If you happen to have 40 billion Lego bricks lying around, you could, theoretically, build a tower to the moon.

• Single-shot coffee makers like Keurig are increasingly popular, but

the inventor of the K-Cup coffee pods doesn't actually use them himself. John Sylvan says, "I don't have one. � ey're kind of expensive to use." He added, "It's not like drip coffee is tough to make."

• Beloved British author Charles Dickens was forced to go to work at the age of 11, pasting labels on bottles of shoe polish in a boot-blacking factory. Soon a� er, his father was put in debtors' prison, and when his mother and siblings went to live with him there; young Charles was le� to live on the streets and fend for himself. It's not surprising, then, that

a� er Dickens achieved the great success he enjoyed as a writer, he was an ardent campaign-er for children's rights.

• If you plan to become a patriotic citizen of Greece, I hope you have a good memory: The Greek national anthem has a whopping 158 verses.
