Mo. Extension Banquet features 4-H presentations

Donna Turner, Paris, has a new car courtesy of the Ford Motor Company.

Ford Warriors in Pink®, the Ford Motor Company program that raises awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer, recently announced that Turner won its nationwide 2012 War-riors in Pink Sweepstakes. Over the course of 2012, more than 169,000 Warriors registered online and at Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure events across the country for a chance to win the third annual sweepstakes. Turner, a school bus driver for the Paris R-II District, registered for the chance to win while par-ticipating in a Race for the Cure event in Columbia, last Septem-ber as part of the Barking Butter-flies team and recently chose a

2013 Ford Escape from Moberly Motors, in Moberly, as her prize.

The win, and Warriors in Pink’s commitment to the fight against breast cancer, is personal for Turner, who has lost her mother and other relatives to cancer. Three years ago, as a response to the high rate of cancer in Mon-roe County, Turner began volun-teering with the Monroe County Cancer Supporters to lend a hand to patients and their families in Monroe County that were suffer-ing from cancer. Turner is very active in numerous activities.

“I don’t know why I have been blessed with this wonderful car, but I believe it has a purpose and must be to help in the fight against cancer,” said Turner, “I feel very lucky and am hoping that my new car can be used to

bring patients to and from their treatments when I am not at work since most must travel 50 miles one way for treatment.”

Turner plans to work with War-riors in Pink in the future to con-tinue supporting cancer patients. Ford, inspired by warriors, such as Turner is dedicated to mak-ing a difference 365 days a year by encouraging women to be-

come informed and raising funds through the sale of Warriors in Pink apparel. Apparel is avail-able at fordcares.com and 100% of the net proceeds of the gear go towards charity selected at checkout. 2013 marks Ford Mo-tor Company’s 19th year of sup-port; to date, Ford has dedicated more than $120 million to the cause.

Due to the dedication and dili-gence of Monroe County Sheriff Department Deputy Sergeant Sue Walker to help stamp out bullying in Monroe County, Phil Chalmers, a leading national au-thority on bullying, will be per-forming his True Lies school as-sembly, with guest artist Rapper LG Wise, for the students at sev-eral schools including Paris R-II and Madison C-3 with Madison’s performance in the morning and Paris in the afternoon on Friday, March 1. According to Sergeant Walker he will also hold an eve-ning seminar for parents and other interested individuals. For more information, to donate to help fund the assemblies or for times, contact Sergeant Walker at (573) 473-1536.

According to his biography, Phil Chalmers is America’s Leading Authority on Juvenile Homicide and Juvenile Mass Murder, and has interviewed over 200 teen killers and school shooters, along with numerous serial killers, mass murderers, and sexual predators. The rea-son for these interviews is to delve into the minds of the of-fenders, and to explore why they killed, and if society could have stopped them. Chalmers has also been studying youth culture for 25 years, and is an expert in youth behavior, youth culture, and youth entertainment. Chalm-ers has also been studying juve-nile homicide and juvenile mass murder for 20 years, and is the author of “Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer” and “The Encyclo-pedia of Teen Killers.”

The Monroe County Extension Council held their annual ban-quet on Thursday, Feb. 7, at the 15 Diner. The evening was spon-sored by UMB Bank, Paris; Paris National Bank; and Alliant Bank, of Madison.

“Good evening and welcome to tonight’s banquet,” said Coun-cil President Bob Mitchell. “We thank tonight’s sponsors and the

banquet committee consisting of council members Brenda Vaughn, Cheri Youse and Jessica Benskin for arranging the banquet.”

Nancy Wilkerson gave the invo-cation.

Before the presentations, the council members and guests dined on a fabulous meal consist-ing of thick cut roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans with chocolate pudding cake coupled with a raspberry chocolate topping for dessert. 15

rising cost of gas it is nice to have places locally to eat. Your food is prepared by people you know and that “hamburger” doesn’t have a built in “traveling cost.”

We have the 15 Diner as previously mentioned, we also have Jonesy’s, Southern Belle, jacs, Subway, the Senior Citizen’s Center, Hickman’s IGA Deli and Casey’s General Store and Abel’s Quik Shop for pizza and other related fare.

All of these have their positive points for a week’s worth of dining without visiting the same establishment in the same week.

15 Diner - Excellent food served with love by owners Rhonda Johnson and Chandra Blades.

jacs - Authentic Mexican, American and a Wednesday Italian Night with a full service menu featuring over 50 items.

Jonesy’s - Fast service and a large menu make for an enjoyable experience.

Southern Belle - Eclectic menu planing for daily specials coupled with friendly service.

Subway - Foot long sandwiches made to order, pizza, soup and salads al;so available plus breakfast!

Senior Citizen’s Center - a widely varied menu with their fan fa-vorite fried chicken Fridays.

Casey’s - Roseann and Vickie lunches and pizza maker extrordin-naire Samantha VanBoening.

Abel’s - Pizza, either thin or thick crust, hot dogs and assorted other sandwiches and burritos.

So all in all whether looking for a night on the town or a lunch break you have plenty of choices here in town to sooth those hunger pangs.

Have a great week!

The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI has been met with surprise across the world. The Papacy was considered to be like the Eagles’ Hotel California. You could check out but you could never leave. What was surprising as well to many observers was Benedict’s will-ingness to give up the power and prestige that goes with being the undisputed head of a church that has over a billion members. Many of the faithful that were interviewed agreed with the decision to resign and had praise for the Pope for doing so.

I have always had respect for those who have given up positions of power and influence when they could have stayed in power. Su-preme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner comes to mind A recent interview showed her to be still very sharp and tuned in to world affairs since resigning as a Supreme Court Justice when she had a lifetime appointment. I am sure she has a very comfortable pension but it is not the same as having a hand in the most important legal decisions of the country’s history.

Likewise I have always liked and admired Jack Danforth, one for-mer U.S. Senator from Missouri. He too gave up his fairly safe seat and the power and influence that goes with the job. It can be fairly said that Danforth was and is a man of means and didn’t need the job financially. But he is also an honorable and decent guy who thought it was time to leave the Senate and all that went with it.

It cannot be easy to relinquish power and influence. The reasons that people do so are varied and sometimes complex. But in general those who give up that power are deserving of some respect for having the courage to do so and also for their consideration of how their decision would affect their church, their Courts or their state. To them I would offer an early, very personal and minor version of the only opinion and judgment that we all await and will be subject to and hope to hear. “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Jones Is Champion. While Four Couples Step to Lively Tunes Jones Wins First Prize as Dance Caller.

At the Opera House in Paris Tuesday night Alva Jones won championship honors as a Mon-roe county dance caller while four couples stepped to old-fash-ioned tunes from an orchestra led by Wood Brown, the county champion and inter-county fid-dler of North Missouri, for priz-es offered to the most graceful dancers.

First prize for style and grace went to Raymond McGee and Miss Vera Stephens, second prize to Joe Shearer and Mrs. Neli Williams. Other couples in the contest, ill dancers of unusual merit, were Clarence Thompson and Miss Bertha Lou Williams and Ward Norfleet and Miss Georgia Norfleet.

Ward Norfleet won second hon-ors as a caller.

Bullfrogs and Hairdressers. Bills for the protection for bull-frogs and hairdressers have been introduced in the senate at Jef-ferson City, as will be seen from the following dispatchers: Jeffer-son City, Feb. 9 - the friend for the bullfrog has risen at last to assert himself. He is Represen-tative Weber of St. Louis, who introduced a bill today to proved a closed season from April 15 to June 15. During the period any person who kills, buys, barters or has his possession bullfrogs, “dead or alive,” will be subject to a fine of from $10 to $50. The law at present seeks to protect only quail, game, animals and fish.

Jefferson City, Feb. 8 – The “hairdressing bill,” provides for the creation of a commission to have jurisdiction over and issue licenses to beauty parlors of the state, was voted on favorably by the Senate, on Public Health late Wednesday afternoon.

Sold $30 Worth of Sassafras. Wil-lis Yowell peddled neat branches of sassafras root from house to house in Paris and Monroe City the first of the week, his sales at 10 cents a bunch amounting to $30. Willis made a hit with sassafras tea addicts with the variety he was selling them complied with the rule laid down in a recent Ap-peal editorial, which was that in order to be orthodox sassafras tea must be made from the red variety. Old tim-ers used to put their families through a course of sassafras tea every Febru-ary, on the theory that it purified their blood and made them fit for spring ac-tivities. Most of them drank it because of its pleasing flavor.

One night last week we had two c h i l d r e n stay over-

night with us because their mom had to work until the early morn-ing. She needed someone to watch them and get them off to school. The next morning when everyone was getting ready for school we had discovered that one of the children had left their shoes outside all night. That would not have been a problem except it had rained all through the night and his shoes were soaking wet.

There was not enough time to dry them out so I had asked my son if he could let him borrow some to wear to school. He gave him one pair to wear but the boy said the tip of the toe(where the rubber part is) was starting to come off and said he had PE that day and he wouldn’t be able to play kick ball in them. My son came into the room and said he didn’t understand what was wrong with them and that he wore them all the time. I asked him to still go ahead and see if he could find another pair to give him.

My son did find him another pair and they were actually his favorite shoes. The boy liked them a lot and was excited about getting to wear them. He wasn’t mad about him wearing them but you could tell he wasn’t overjoyed either. It wasn’t like they were the greatest or really expensive shoes because at our

house we don’t spend tons of money on the top shoes but it was still like his favorite pair that he wore every day. Despite the fact, my son still did a good job not letting the boy know he wished he would have wore the other pair.

Later on that day I was picking up my children from their grand-ma’s house. As we were driving home son said this to me: “Hey mom. Today at school God told me I need to go ahead and give those shoes to him.” So I told him if that is what he needed to do then he should do it. And he did. He told the boy he could keep the shoes.

I was very proud of my son once again. Not only because he did something nice and considerate but also because he chose to listen to that still, small voice. It gave me comfort knowing that he is capable and willing to listen to the One who knows way more than him, me and his daddy put together.

It amazes me sometimes how thoughtful and giving our chil-dren can be. They seem to have such a desire to make others happy and I believe not only do children have that but we as adults do as well. We might get so busy and preoccupied with things going on around us that it drowns out that still small voice inside of us but it is there.

God is talking to all of us whether old or young. The only difference is how many of us are really listening?

After many years of energy and talent, Kathy Gilmore decided to retire. She sort of did last tax season. Then she told me last summer that she really wanted to have more time with family so she pulled in her shingle officially January 31st. She has put a lot of trust in me to care for her clients and I truly desire to spoil all of our cli-ents with the best customer service that I can. Kathy, thanks for the opportunity and on behalf of your clients, we say THANKS!

I have been blessed to have two ladies join me this year. Please allow me to intro-duce them to you:

Joanne Bonney is our “Director of First Impressions”. Joanne comes to us a whole two blocks from her previous job at the Monroe County Appeal. She came with high recommendations from Dick Fredrick as well as the entire Appeal staff. I am glad I listened. She is as loyal as they come and a customer pleaser.

Tax Associate Lori Owens was born and raised in Paris and now resides in Clark. She graduated from Paris High School in 1981 and has been working in the accounting field since 1987. She likes to ride horses, enjoy the out-doors, and embroidering. Her mother is Nina Ow-ens and still lives west of Paris.

I am thrilled to have both these girls on my staff so I can spend more time out in the offices of my business clients where I can really get to know them and their ser-vices. I couldn’t provide excellent customer ser-vice without them. Stop in and welcome them to our office! Joanne Bonney, left, and Lori Owens.

“Bowhunter-education provides a foundation in hunting safety and ethics that helps hunters focus on more than just being suc-cessful in the pursuit of game,” said MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Rob Garv-er. “Participants receive a minimum of eight hours of classroom training, plus additional time for testing, outdoor demonstrations and other classroom dis-cussion.”

While a bowhunter-edu-cation certificate is not re-quired by statewide game regulations, many Missouri cities that allow archery hunting inside their city limits require bowhunter-education certification. Additionally, many other states require bowhunter education before hunters are allowed to apply for or take part in bow hunts in their state.

Estate planning involves the will, trusts, beneficiary designations, powers of ap-pointment, property own-ership (joint tenancy with rights of survivorship, ten-ancy in common, tenancy by the entirety), gift, and powers of attorney, specifi-cally the durable financial power of attorney and the durable medical power of attorney. In the United States, without a benefi-ciary statement, the default provision in the custodi-an-agreement will apply, which may be the estate of the owner resulting in higher taxes and extra fees.

Planning for transitions in Life will provide an over-view of the topics everyone should know when plan-ning for changes in life. Whether you are selling or retiring from the farm or business, there are some thinking points everyone should know before mak-ing decisions. This course will assist you with basic planning questions and will give you the knowl-edge to confidently seek professional help on your

planning journey. A wise man once said that the lon-gest journey starts with a single step. The process of estate planning may seem overwhelming, but educa-tion (exposure) and break-ing the steps in to smaller concerns will make the task easier to accomplish.

The Planning for Transi-

tions in Life program will be Thursday, February 21 from 1:00P to 4:00 at the City Hall in Monroe City. Participants are encour-aged to register. Please contact the University of Missouri Extension-Mon-roe County at (660)327-4158.

Area NEWS Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013 5Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com

Hollywood often imagines a future in which drivers talk to their vehicles. In reality, experts are close to developing technology that allows cars to “speak” to each other as well. By enabling vehicles to communi-cate with each other and their surroundings via wireless communication, connected vehicle technology could help make roads safer for drivers.

Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot ProgramThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) estimates that this evolving technology could address about 80 percent of non-impaired crash scenar-ios. To further evaluate the technology’s effectiveness and drivers’ experiences with it, the United States De-partment of Transportation has launched the Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Program.

Safety Pilot Model DeploymentThe testing phase of the program is currently under

way in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There, the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute is test-ing the technology on city streets and in local vehicles. “This is a scientific initiative to understand what ben-efits might be realized through the real-world deploy-ment of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology,” says Jim Sayer, program manager for the Safety Pilot Model Deployment.

In August 2012, 2,800 cars, trucks and buses equipped with connected vehicle technology hit the road. On board were devices that broadcast 10 signals every sec-ond to communicate the vehicle’s speed, location and travel direction. Wireless devices also were installed along 73 lane-miles of roadway in the city.

Sayer says 400 of the vehicles are outfitted with af-termarket or embedded safety devices. “These can not only send out a signal, but also listen for other vehi-cle awareness devices,” he says. That message is then translated into audible warnings alerting drivers of po-tentially dangerous situations, such as a vehicle braking suddenly, a driver entering a blind spot or hazards at intersections.

Next StepsNHTSA will use the data collected during the Con-

nected Vehicle Safety Pilot Program to determine, by 2013, whether or not to move forward with the technol-ogy. Find out more about connected vehicle technology, its possible applications and the pilot program from the U.S. Department of Transportation

“Redeemed” was the opening hymn which was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Pete Olney, Mike Mallory, Beverly Wandrey, David Lehenbauer, Russ Unger and Mitchell Creel who was deployed to Afghanistan on February 9th. Rachel and Mendy Blades shared the joy (and concern) of Rachel ob-taining her driver’s permit.

The prayer hymn, “Be Still, My Soul”, was sung; singing was followed by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

“How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds” was the commu-nion hymn sung as elders, Sandy Callison and Guy Callison, went forward to serve; deacons were Gary Wilson and Dar-old Thrasher. The communion service ended after sharing of communion, collection of offerings and singing of the doxology.

“While Building the Church, Make Jesus the Foundation” was the title of the sermon from Reverend Holmes. Scrip-ture reference was Matthew 16:13-20. The closing hymn, “Jesus Saves” was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Immediately following services, Vice Chairman Guy Cal-lison, called the congregational meeting to order. Minutes of the January meeting were approved as read by Secretary Mary McMorris. Jane Akers presented the monthly finan-cial reports for January; these were also approved. Options for repair and/or replacement of outdated furnace(s) were briefly discussed. The meeting was adjourned on motion by Gary Wilson.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Gary Wilson shared the weekly reading “God Gives Abundant Life” from the book, “What God Wants Us to Know”. Diane Wilson shared two readings, “God Made the Earth Round” and “Catholic Shampoo”. Jim McMorris led the group in prayer to open Bible Study. The group continued study of Mark with Chapter 14:43-65. Services at Holliday Chris-tian Church are held each Sunday beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study. Everyone is welcome.

On Sunday, Feb. 10, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: last night’s lock-in for the youth was a success, on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m., we will have Movie and Pizza night at the church. Church directory pho-tos are scheduled for March 5 and 6 so sign-up for a time to take your pictures. Steve Miller of Praises to Him Ministries presented mission opportunities for Alaska.

This week’s sermon was entitled ‘Faithful Stewardship in Christ’ and came from Matthew 25:14-30. Having faithful stewardship as a Christian encompasses everything you do in life. This includes how you spend your time, how you al-locate your resources, and what your energy is used for. If you truly believe Jesus will return again and Christians will stand before Him to give an account of their lives, then it is important to know what Jesus taught on stewardship.

In the ‘parable of the talents’ Jesus is the traveling man who went to heaven for a long time and then returns to His servants for an account of what they had done with what He had given them. On His return, Jesus finds two types of ser-vants. The first type is faithful and profitable with what they had been given. They needed no excuses when the master returned. They were rewarded with praise from the master and they entered into the joy of the Lord.

The second type of servant was wicked and lazy who made no profit with what was given him but instead buried the talent in the ground until he gave it back to the master. This servant’s excuse was that the master was a hard (serve and merciless) man and the servant would not risk losing the tal-ent. The servant had not taken the effort to get to know his master and had conceived this wrong image of Jesus in the imagination of his own mind. This servant was thrown into darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Both types of servants probably sat in church every week and worshipped together. The difference is the profitable actually did what Jesus wanted them to do. The unprofit-able did what they wanted to do and hoped Jesus would give them grace and mercy anyway. Romans 10:13 tells us that all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. This means Jesus is Lord of your life by actions first, then by words. This parable shows how serious Jesus will take the issue of stewardship when His servants come to give an ac-count of their lives.

Come on out to the Valentines Banquet at Granville Christian Church, 6:30 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 16. Bring your loved ones, families and friends. The men of the church are cooking the meal. They will begin work about 2 p.m.

We now have a prayer chain. If you would be willing to pray for others in the their time of need, please con-tact Kathy Miller, Dale Ann Magruder or Nancy Maupin and join the prayer chain. If you know of a prayer need, please contact one of these people. We will also have a phone tree to notify the church quickly in case of last-minute changes in worship or other plans.

We are also renewing our commitment to pray for 80 young adults, youth and children. If you would like to be a prayer partner for five or six young people, please contact Pastor Fran. We will host the area Hymn Sing on Sunday, March 3. We are also collecting spare change in a jar at the church for Relay for Life.

We are still seeking names of soldiers in the combat zone in order to send a care package. Please forward names to Brenda Coffman. We have mailed a total of 168 boxes since the beginning of the conflicts.

“Concept” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s message Sunday morning. Christians get the concept of living for God by 1) focusing on the purpose of one goal, 2) focusing on achieving that goal and 3) focusing on our walk with Je-sus through faith. Stephen’s actions of faith in Acts 6: 8-15 and 7: 51-60 are a perfect example of how to achieve those three steps.

Tootsie Peak spoke with the children about always say-ing nice and positive things to others. Sometimes they say things that hurt other’s feelings and when this happens they need to always think about how good they feel when nice things are said to them.

Prayers were requested for Randy Bell, Jo Reynolds’s dad, Austin and Makaela Chase, students and staff of the Par-is schools, all school-age students, Cassie Olivas, Valena and James A.

A worship service was held on Sunday, Feb. 10, with Rev-erend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, “The Veil of Glory,’” about the shining face of Moses, was based on Exodus 34:29-35. Reva Sheffield and Karla Harrison served as Worship Leaders, Mary Beth Mitchell served as Song Leader, and Mary Jo Wilson served as the organist. Others who participated in the service were Elders Nancy Bierly and Donald Johnson; Diaconate Annie Herron, Ce-leste Vaughn, Sandra Duncan, and Gayle Threlkeld; and Acolytes Macy Bush and Hannah Vaughn. Junior Church Leaders are Anita Ness and Rumiko Castleman.

The Bible memory verse is: For to me, to live is Christ. Phillippians 1:21. The thought for the week is: “It is impos-sible to push yourself ahead by patting yourself on the back.”

The children’s sermon was given by Diana Hammond. When we think of Valentines Day, what do we think of? An-swer: Jesus. Do you think of love? What is love? 1 John 4:16 says love is God. God gave us Jesus. How do you be-have when you love someone? Answer: Nicely. We should love and obey parents and share with our friends. Mark and Courtney Bell led children’s church.

Call to worship given by Steve Ensor was Psalm 100 and during the personal worship moment he sang, “All That Thrills My Heart is Jesus”.

Announcements: The Valentine Banquet served 60 people and the workers. The youth sponsored event netted $1,100.00 and will be used for their Supper Summer program.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from 1 Corin-thians 13:1-13, entitled “Faith Must Have Love”. The theme for the year is “The Righteous will live by faith”. We fall short of the glory of God if we do not have love. Paul says in verse 2, “…if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” True love has no timeline, nor does it keep a record of wrongs. We must be faithful and loving.

Throughout the service musical praises were provided by Brenda Ensor and Kathy Miller. The choir presented special music, “Find Us Faithful”.

Services began at 10:30 a.m.“Alpha & Omega” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.Opening prayer was led by Elder Helen Fugate, and the

opening Scripture was read by Elder Maurice Berry.“Days of Elijah” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.Offering(Seed Planting) was directed by Elder Maurice

Berry. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in uni-son, declaring that FaithWalk is about, “Building and Sus-taining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Ad-dictive Failures.”

“Moving Forward” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.“Praise Him” was sung by Bishop Long with FaithWalk

Choir, before the Word of God was presented.The title of the message by Bishop Harold G. Long was

“The Power of God’s Glory Will Make the Difference.” II Corinthians 4:6, St. John 3:30-31, II Corinthians 3:13-19. “If you decrease, you will live in His increase.” The glory of God in your life brings about a change. Acts 3:1-11 – Peter and John were moving in the glory of God, from their upper room experience. The lame man was shameful to the point where he could not look any one in the face. But Peter told him to look out of his circumstance and look at them(to see the glory of God that they had in them.) He was then able to rise out of his circumstance and mindset and move in his purpose because of God’s glory.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us. Tues-day at 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. God bless you!

Perry Christian Church Pastor David Todd

As you travel along Life’s Highways and Byways there is one road Highway 154 that will take you to the little berg of Perry, located only eight miles from Mark Twain Lake and Clarence Cannon Dam. But any road you take this week will lead you to Valen-tine’s Day - the annual affirmation of love, celebrated by exchanging tokens of affection on February 14 - as poet Geoffrey Chaucer is noted for his writings. Some scholars believe that Chaucer seized upon the day of St. Valentine, February 14, because it was the feast day on the church calendar closest to the time that people would see the first indications of spring - Chaucer’s “Gathering of the Birds” written about 1380 was the beginning of Valentine’s Day. Or some believe that St. Valentine writing from a prison cell sent flowers by a dove to his little flock simply say-ing “I love you” , “I’m your Valentine”... No matter what you believe, February 14 is still celebrated today with messages of love. So be sure to tell that special someone how much you care, for love is like a road going somewhere...

Sun., February 17 the Perry Christian Church will be hosting a movie “Clancy” at 6 p.m. all are welcome to attend.

Thurs., February 28 the Perry Ladies Night Supper will be held at St. Williams Catholic Church at 6:30 p.m. come and bring a friend.

Be sure to attend the church of your choice this week...

If you have anything of interest you would like to see in next weeks issue, be sure to call 573-473-7644.

Have a great week...

Along Life’s Highways and Byways

The Sunday, Feb. 10, services at South Fork Presbyte-rian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “Mansion Over the Hilltop” on the piano followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in the Prayer of Confession and the Re-sponsive Reading from Psalm 91.

Debbie Carey led in song to “How Great Thou Art”,”Near to the Heart of God”, “I Am Thine O Lord” and “Threefold Amen”.

Pastor John announced that the Perry Christian Church will be hosting a sing on Sunday night Feb. 17, at 6 p.m. and all are invited; followed by prayer for Amanda Grim-mett; James A; Jimmy McGee; Brenda; those traveling; snow storm victims out east; for Christs’ church and Jere Nelson had a praise that her family was present and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John played guitar as he and Patti sang “When We All Get to Heaven”.

The morning message “The Gospel Truth” was based on scripture from 1 Corinthians 15 as the gospel of Jesus Christ can be explained in less than three minutes...”Christ died on the cross for all our sins; He was buried and He was raised on the third day”. Those who have died in Jesus Christ will be raised as a spiritual body - we will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye! The bible tells how important it is to have faith in Jesus. Every knee shall bow - you need to know the gospel! He wants everyone to live in glory forever.

The morning service included the installation of new elders to the church, Dan Halleman, Gary Rahmeyer and Jere Nelson.

Offertory was led by Bobby Gash and Kaylee Beckham as Patti played “Even So, Lord Jesus, Come” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Jesus Is Coming Again” as all retired to welcome the new elders in fellowship.

“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” 1 Corin-thians 15:52

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

The Perry Christian Church worship hour for Sun-day, Feb. 10, opened with Tristen Johnson and Peyton Hawkins lighting the altar candles. The choir sang "I Stand Amazed". Pastor Todd gave the greetings and an-nounced that tonight would be movie night at the church. Soup and sandwich fellowship will be after today's wor-ship service. Everyone was invited to stay.

"Give Thanks" was the hymn of praise. Mary Young will be celebrating a birthday on Monday, Feb. 18. Ron McLaughlin's birthday is Friday, Feb. 15. Little Emily Sue Myrick was born on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

The hymn for prayer was "If That Isn't Love". Jessica Hurd and Denny Tischer are new additions for prayer. . The families of Pat Hardesty, Clay Ragland and Margaret Horn have our condolences. "Jesus Never Fails" was the choir's response.

Pastor Todd gave the communion meditation before we sang "Why Should He Love Me So". Elders were Floyd Seelow and Joyce Coleman. Serving as deacons were Tom Hurley, Carol Norman , David and Wyatt Lewellen.

"My Jesus,I Love Thee" was the special music sung by the Provancha's, Arlen and Cheri.

The children,s moment was presented by Jeannie Gay. They received valentines from Jesus as a reminder of God's love.

Luke 9:28-36 was read by Tom Hurley for pastor's ser-mon, "A Dazzling Experience". The disciples were able to see Jesus differently after they were on the mountain top with Jesus as He met with Moses and Elijah. It is a reminder to open your eyes and ears so God can show you what He can do.

"Redeeming Love was the invitation hymn and to close the service "Only Trust Him" was sung.

During the fellowship lunch Nancy Seelow had several valentines she gave to the couple married the longest, Martha and Dean Harrison. Floyd and Ruth Seelow's award was for the oldest newly weds. The Harrison's and Buddy and Carol Norman were high school sweethearts. Arlen and Christy Provancha met at Perry Elementary, David and Sue Todd met in college, and there were others also recognized making it a fun Valentine party.

The Missouri Department of Conservation will be of-fering its sixth annual Dis-cover Nature Girls Camp. It is a free three-day, two-night girls camp aimed at introducing young ladies ages 11–15 to different out-doors skills in a supportive learning environment. In 2013, the camp will be held June 25, 26, and 27. The camp is held in Mon-roe County at Mark Twain Lake State Park.

Campers spend three fun filled days learning by par-ticipating in a “hands on” hunter education class; shooting firearms and ar-chery equipment, walking through a safety trail and taking the hunter education test. Throughout the camp, the girls will participate in a variety of outdoor skills such as canoeing, orien-teering and fishing. Camp-ers learn about all aspects of fishing; from fish iden-tification, casting, tying knots, and cleaning fish, to finally going fishing. This all occurs in a group setting

of their peers, being taught by knowledgeable instruc-tors who make participants comfortable and willing to try new things. The camp is limited to 60 girls be-tween the ages of 11 to 15 years old. The first 60 ap-plications received by the Conservation Department’s Northeast Regional Office will be selected to attend.

Applications must be re-ceived at the Northeast Re-gional Office by May 15, 2013.

To apply for Discover Nature Girls Camp, please contact Conservation Agent Alan Lamb (660) 651-0218 or the Northeast Regional Office at (660) 785-2420 to request an ap-plication form.

Diner co-owners Rhon-da Johnson and Chandra Blades were given a rous-ing round of applause for the meal.

Giving fantastic presenta-tions for the evening’s en-tertainment and informa-tion were John DeOrnellis and Lauren Embree who informed the group about their efforts at the 2013 “Pink Out” game.

“We will be donating $4,300 to the Monroe County Cancer Support-ers,” said both DeOrnellis and Embree.

Also presenting for the banquet were Caleb Fuller

and Anne Marie Quinn, both from the Cannon Kids 4-H Club, Monroe City.

Council Member Darrin DeOrnellis introduced the speakers to the assembled.

Caleb Fuller defined G.R.O.W. during his pre-sentation.

“G is for grabbing the op-portunities,” said Fuller. “R is for responsibilities.”

O is for optimism,” noted Fuller. “W is for willing-ness.”

“I am involved in many activities through school and 4-H,” said Fuller. “Sometimes my projects do not turn out like I ex-pected… however, we must be optimistic – it is through our failures that we learn the most.”

“GROW will you ever look at it the same ever again?” asked Fuller in closing.

Next on the program was Anne Marie Quinn who brought down the house with her jokes and com-ments about, seven easy steps to raise honeybees and raise extra money.

Quinn explained between her amusing remarks that the seven steps include:

Must have the equipment; pick a good location; get a queen and worker bees; feed the bees with pollen and sugar water; check your hive often; collect the honey; and sell your honey.

“The hardest part of bee keeping is making sure you keep enough honey for yourself,” said Quinn.

Quinn took questions af-ter giving her presentation.

Business Specialist Charles Holland presented the 4-H Leaders Honor Roll Award to Kim and Joey Mitchell for their tire-less and enthusiastic work in support of 4-H.

President Mitchell intro-duced the staff present and then the council officers and members.

Officers – Chairman Bob Mitchell, Vice-Chairman Bill Coleman, Secretary

Mary Eileen Crain and Treasurer Darrin DeOrnel-lis.

2013 Council members: elected – Diana Heinecke, Nancy Wilkerson, Darrin DeOrnellis, Cheri Youse, Matt Ensor, David Eales, Bob Mitchell, Bill Cole-man, Jesse Benskin, Me-gan Morgan, Jamie Young, Dan Putrah and Brenda Vaughn.

Following the banquet

the council held a short meeting.

The Paris R-II junior var-sity girls beat North Shelby last night at North Shelby 41-11. That win improved their season record to 10-3.

The JV girls put together a very good season with wins against Madison, North Shelby, Monroe City, Westran, Mark Twain x 2, Community R-VI, South Shelby, Fayette, and Slater. The three losses were to Centralia x 2, and Salisbury. Those 3 games were all very close com-petitive games.

“I am very proud of the young ladies for their ef-fort and dedication this season,” said Coach Chris Willingham. “They did a very good job of improv-ing as the season went on and put on a show last night in our final outing at Shelbyville. We try to play

a fast up-tempo exciting style of basketball and our girls really did a great job of buying in to that style and enjoying it. They were fun to watch last night and throughout the season.”

JV participants this sea-son: Freshmen, Abbie Wheelan, Sydnee Playter, and Caitlyn Breid. Sopho-mores: Brooke Carr, Ash-ley Carr, Courtney Dickey, Sirena Bell, Audrey Vitt, Brooke Rentschler, Rachel Batsell and Alex Dreck-shage. Junior: Taylor Red-mon

Coach Long says it was an honor to coach them this year, and a great group to coach in his first season.

“I would like to thank Coach Long and the girls for such an enjoyable sea-son,” said Coach Willing-ham.

Turner leads in scoring versus Marceline

The Paris Lady Coyotes (14-9 overall, 5-3 in confer-ence) defeated Fayette 54-36 in Lewis and Clark Confer-ence action and on Court-

warming night fell to Marce-line in a hard fought overtime game 58-54.

Fayette“We picked up another im-

portant road win in LCC play last night,” said Lady Coy-ote Coach Chris Willingham. “Fayette doesn’t have a lot of wins to show for their effort, but they are playing hard and execute very well on offense and defense. We had to focus and play well to pull away from them. We got off to a good start with a 13-4 first quarter only to start slowly in the 2nd quarter and allow Fayette to close the gap to as close as 3 a couple times. We finished the quarter strongly to push back ahead for a 7 point lead at the half. We had some good opportunities that we didn’t take advantage of offensively and had a few breakdowns defensively, but overall we played a solid first half. We did a very good job in the second half. Everyone on our team made big plays, our bench was outstanding for the 2nd game in a row. Really good transition offense, good execution in the half court, and solid defense for almost the entire second half. Jill No-bis is coming off her career high varsity scoring effort at Westran last Thursday when she had 7, and followed it with a 5 point 3rd quarter last night to push us out to a comfortable cushion. Josey Ball also had a big game for us hitting all 3 shot attempts and finishing with a varsity career high of 8 points. That contribution from the bench is key for us. We had 9 girls score last night and got big contributions from ev-eryone. Haley Fredrick had a big state line with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. It was a very solid effort from our kids to improve to 14-8, 5-2 in conference. We still have a shot to get back into the con-ference race. Marceline has 1 loss, we play them Friday at home, Salisbury has 2 losses, we play at Salisbury next Fri-day. Several big games com-ing up before districts with lots of room for movement at the top of the conference.”

Payton Gruber, averaging approximately 18 points a game, led all scorers with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist in her minutes of

action. Paris led 13-4 after the first

quarter and with a Fayette 12-10 second quarter led 23-16 at the half.

Paris took the third quarter 16-8 and the final period 15-12 for their 54-36 win.

MarcelineThe Lady Coyotes had four

players in double digit scoring versus Marceline in their 58-54 overtime loss. Haley Fred-rick led the team in scoring with 12 points, Kaylee Calli-son chipped in with 12, Pay-ton Gruber had 11points and Dede Bounds had 10 points in the game.

Paris led 9-8 at the first break and led 19-10 at the half. The third quarter ended with Paris leading 25-24. Marceline hit two free throws with less than a second on the clock in the fourth quarter to tie the score at 42 and send the game to overtime.

In overtime Paris battled back after Marceline hit two opening three pointers to tie the score at 48 points on a Payton Gruber drive through three defenders for a runner. Marceline hit their free throws down the stretch to seal their win. Complete statistics in next week’s Appeal.

Food, clothing, shelter, transportation... and so much more are products of agriculture. Join Missouri Farm Bureau and the 113 county Farm Bureau orga-nizations across the state, Feb. 10-16, as we pay trib-ute to Missouri’s farmers and ranchers with a variety of Thank a Farmer Week activities.The Missouri Farm Bureau Thank a Farmer Week al-lows us to pause and be reminded of the efforts of farmers and why their work is important to all of us.Today’s farmers grow more food and do it with fewer resources than any time in history. Consumer demands have changed over time, but farmers meet those needs by providing an increasing variety of goods. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, tech-nology and innovations in agriculture allow one U.S. farmer to provide enough food and fiber for 154 peo-ple around the world.Even amidst the current grow-your-own environ-ment, most people have lit-tle contact with the source of their food supply. Most consumers rely on others to produce some or all of what is needed. Statistics show farm families make up about 2 percent of the U.S. population, yet they provide for themselves and the other 98 percent.“Grocery shelves are filled with an overwhelming number of food product choices,” said Ashley Ken-drick, Farm Bureau Young Farmers President. “On average, nearly 40,000 dif-ferent items appear in most shopping establishments. Restaurant menus boast a variety of items from which to choose. However, many people fail to connect the dots to realize farmers are the source of their supply of food.”Farmers provide an abun-dant, affordable and healthy food supply. Con-sumers in the U. S. spend

Thank a Farmer WeekConnecting To Agriculture

less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food, based on USDA figures. That amount is less than any country in the world.Other items we use daily come from agriculture. Whether it is personal care products, medical items, school supplies, printed materials, sports equip-ment, manufacturing or construction, agricultural products are in the mix. “Seldom do we stop and ask ourselves, ‘where did

this come from?” said Ken-drick “Farmers and what they provide should not be taken for granted”.Agriculture is an important part of Monroe County’s economy. Farm businesses give back to the commu-nity in many ways while they produce food and fi-ber for the world. So, join the Monroe County Farm Bureau as they pause to ‘Thank a Farmer’ for a job well done during their spe-cial promotion Feb. 10-16.

Harpster Equipment to provide FFA scholarship for 2013

Helen Laverne Hutson Fodge, 89, passed away on Monday, Feb. 11. She was born in Lennox, TN on Dec. 28, 1923 to Wil-liam and Bertha Hutson. She married Robert L. Fodge on March 30, 1942, in Missouri. They resided in Indianapolis. Helen was a homemaker and a moth-er. She was a member of the Southport Methodist Church.

She is survived by her children, Wanda Jean (Ron) Rhoades, Robert Lynn (Lynn) Fodge, and Jeffrey Wayne (Pam) Fodge; sev-en grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and four great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband.

A funeral service was held at 11 a.m. on Wednes-day, Feb. 13 at the Indiana Masonic Home, 690 South State Street, Franklin, Ind. 46131. Friends called from 9 a.m. until service time. She was laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Indiana Masonic Home.

Giving back to the com-munity you live in is im-portant and is witnessed locally by Harpster Equip-ment of Moberly, as they have announced they will award a second annual scholarship to a local de-serving student.

Last year, the inaugural scholarship year, Harpster Equipment presented Paris R-II senior Jaelyn Berg-mann with a $1,000 schol-arship.

As an approved national FFA scholarship sponsor

and in cooperation with AGCO, Harpster Equip-ment presented Bergmann with the inaugural award for the new program that provided 115 scholarships through more than 55 Massey Ferguson, Chal-lenger and Gleaner dealers across the United States.

“We are very excited to participate in this outstand-ing scholarship program available through AGCO,” said Terry and Lorie Harp-ster, at Harpster Equipment. “Agriculture is constantly changing and providing new opportunities. We be-lieve our support of schol-arships through FFA will strengthen the agricultural interests young people in

our community have de-veloped through FFA and will definitely help them achieve their educational goals past high school.”

Scholarship selection considers FFA involve-ment, work experience, community service, lead-ership skills and academic records. Supervised agri-culture experience (SAE) programs and future goals are also considered in the selection process.

These dealership and AGCO cooperatively funded scholarships rep-resent a new chapter in the 65-year relationship between FFA, and AGCO and its heritage compa-nies. A proud supporter of the National FFA Orga-nization and the National FFA Collegiate Scholar-ship Program, AGCO and AGCO Finance sponsored 18 additional scholarships to outstanding FFA mem-bers in 2011-2012. The company participates in the annual National FFA Convention and Expo. In addition, many AGCO employees, dealers and customers credit FFA with helping them develop their skills and lifelong interest in agriculture.

For additional scholar-ship information students may contact their FFA ad-visor or their secondary counselor.
