Paris R-II Board of Education approves handbook changes City of Paris to perform

sewer smoke test

All of Missouri’s 114 counties were de-clared primary disaster areas last Tuesday, July 19, enabling farmers to access federal assistance. The announcement by USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack came as Gov. Jay Nixon toured the state to visit farmers and ranchers affected by the ongoing drought.“

This designation can help livestock and crop farmers across the state who are suf-fering great losses because of the heat and lack of rain,” Nixon said. “We’re going to continue to stand with farmers during this ongoing disaster and afterward, to help

with their recovery. This designation is part of that process.”

More than half of the continental United States is now in a moderate to extreme drought, but Missouri is particularly dry. That’s the widest area since 1956.

A disaster designation allows eligible farmers to be considered for assistance from the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), including FSA emergency loans.

In addition to keeping an eye on crops and livestock, producers should docu-ment any losses or additional costs expe-rienced as a result of weather events, in-cluding drought. That information is often required for producers to be eligible for physical and/or production loss loan assis-tance from the FSA, as well as other as-sistance programs.

President Libby Williams called the reg-ular board meeting of the Paris R-II Board of Education to order at 7:04 p.m., on Wednesday, July 18.

Danielle Wheelen presented a slideshow about her band trip to the board members.

The board members approved the con-sent agenda including: minutes of the June 14, Special Board Meeting; June 20, Regu-lar Board Meeting; June 29, Special Board Meeting; and July 09, Special Board Meet-ing; Financial statement and bills present-ed for payment; Transfer of Funds (Bond Issue to Fund 4: $21,553.42); Attendance report; Transportation report; and substi-tute teacher.

Bids for Diesel Fuel: The board members approved the diesel fuel bid from MFA for 6,000 gallons of fuel at $3.268 per gallon.

Milk prices: The price of extra milk was left at the current price of $.35 per carton for this school year.

Secondary Handbook Changes: The board members approved the junior high and high school handbook changes as pre-sented. The changes focused on interme-diate consequences in the handbook, i.e. a new section was added to bullying includ-ing mocking and ridiculing which carries a lesser punishment. It allows the princi-

pals to give out a lesser punishment the first time than the previous editions of the handbook allowed.

Elementary Handbook Changes: The board members approved the elementary school handbook changes as presented. The main changes to the elementary hand-book regarded the non-use of peanuts in the cafeteria. There will be no peanut products served with lunch and there will be a peanut free table. Also a section on A Cubed was added to the handbook.

A+ Handbook Changes: The board mem-bers approved the A+ handbook changes as presented.

Teacher Evaluation Form: The board members approved the teacher evaluation form as presented replacing form #4610.1.

BidsThe board members approved the bid

for two dishwashers including installation from Area Distributors for $9966.88.

The board members approved the bid for carpet from Brown’s Carpet for the El-ementary classroom and Central Office at $5,013.07.

Superintendent’s Report and Communi-cations

Superintendent Johnson presented the Superintendent’s report to the Board of

Education members.It was noted that the next regular board

meeting and tax rate hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 6 p.m., and Special Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 2, at 4:30 p.m.

Principal ReportsElementary Principal Wendi Wood pre-

sented the Elementary School report to the Board of Education members.

It was reported out of an approved closed session that the board members offered Pearse Hutson an extra duty contract for band and choir.

With no further business the board mem-bers adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

Paris R-II School District has a new su-perintendent. Superintendent Nancy Hen-ke has retired and Elementary Principal Chris Johnson was named to fill the vacant position.

The new district superintendent grew up in the Versailles area and graduated form Versailles High School.

Superintendent Johnson received her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Edu-cation from Northwest Missouri State University (Marysville); her Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from Central Methodist University, in Fayette; her Edu-cation Specialist from the University of Missouri – Columbia; and is working on her PhD in Education at Mizzou.

“It is more about building on my current skills,” said Superintendent Johnson on her new position strengths. “I have good people skills; I feel I am a good listener and I can relate to the community.”

“With all the changes in DESE (Depart-ment of Elementary and Secondary Edu-cation), the changes in core standards, the new evaluation system and the No Child Left Behind waiver I am the main DESE contact and need to keep up to date on all

those changes and what the district needs to do to maintain correct reporting,” said Superintendent Johnson. “With the NCLB waiver we are now evaluated as Prior-ity, Focus and Reward. We now have one overall accountability system. There will no longer be a designated School of Dis-tinction program. This program is a three year cycle to allow for collection of data.”

Superintendent Johnson noted that she will really miss the daily interaction with students but she noted that she would

“I am excited about being superinten-dent,” said Superintendent Johnson. “I want to make sure I do this job to the very best of my ability and do what I need to do for the students in Paris.”

Why did Principal Johnson go into edu-cation as her career path?

“I love kids,” said Johnson. “My third grade teacher made such an impression on me that I knew I wanted to do this (be in education).”

What is the biggest challenge facing edu-cators today?

I believe time is the biggest challenge facing educators today,” said Superin-tendent Johnson in an earlier interview. “With budget cuts the way they are and the amount of curriculum we are expected to teach there is never enough time to do ev-erything that needs to be done. But every-one I know feels that way - there’s never

enough time in the day.”Superintendent Johnson’s educational

philosophy includes: “First and foremost is the question that guides all my deci-sions, “What is best for the students?”

That being said, I believe that educational administration is leading the faculty, staff, students, parents, and local community towards excellence. Communication and transparency is a key factor in that goal.

Management and leadership are two components in developing an outstanding school. Management involves the daily tasks of keeping the school running ef-ficiently. Leadership involves building relationships, creating a vision, and lead-ing the learning community towards that vision. As an administrator, I believe that I should possess the following character-istics: consistency, organization, coop-eration, enthusiasm, honesty, flexibility, compassion, knowledge, and the quest to always learn. It is my goal to always im-prove on these characteristics, so that I may help others learn and grow. I dedicate myself to lifelong learning through experi-ences from interacting with students, par-ents, teachers, other colleagues, or every-day life experiences.

In conclusion, an effective and success-ful educational administrator must be an expert in public relations, proactive in

According to Paris City Superintendent Phillip Shatzer, the City of Paris plans to start smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system next week; weather permitting. The testing will assist in locating improp-er connections of downspouts and sump pumps to the system and to locate breaks or defects. The city is experiencing high volumes of storm water entering the sani-tary sewer system and is required by the Department of Natural Resources to re-duce these levels.

“The city is required to reduce our in-

flow and infiltration,” said Superintendent Shatzer.

It was noted that residents might see smoke coming from vent stacks on build-ings or from holes in the ground. Don’t be alarmed.

“The smoke has no odor, is non-toxic, non-staining, does not create a fire hazard, and will dissipate in a few minutes,” said Superintendent Shatzer.

Property owners will be contacted or a notice will be placed on the front door at

CWT or Community Working Together over A2 or Action squared. In a small town people go about their business day in and day out participating in their

own work, activities and organizations, but when the need arises the community bands to-gether for the common good of a cause. A good case in point is the recent fire that destroyed the family home of a newly married couple. No sooner had the fire engines departed the scene than the community rallied to their support. Plans were made, donations were made, places to live were made available and the ‘community machine’ started putting things in place to help raise money and collect household items for the young couple. There was a cause and the hoi polloi (If you a Mr. Smith Goes To Washington fan you know the refer-ence, if not, then it means the regular people, the masses) mobilized. That is the way it is here in small town USA.

Another witness of the equation was the recent Jacquie Stuart 5K Barn Fundraising Run/Walk organized by two Madison high school girls to honor their 4-H Leader. These two en-terprising young ladies had an idea, brought it to fruition and then the community stepped in and made their dream a reality. Over 70 individuals stepped to the starting line for the inaugural run/walk to participate in the event that had started in the minds of two of our youth. The same could be said for the Pink Out Basketball game, another idea of two of our youth, this time a Paris duo, that raised a large amount of money to further the dream of their 4-H leader to see a barn at the fairgrounds.

The last recent example of this unique yet common equation is the annual 2012 Monroe County Fair Livestock Sale that smashed records and saw our youth recognized for their hard work and determination in support of agriculture and livestock.

Yes the equation is a simple one but it can be solved only when the community bands to-gether as ours has done time and time again this past year as we have faced trial after trial. Monroe County Cancer Supporters, Jacquie Stuart Barn Fund, Barking Butterfly Bakery, Relay For Life of Monroe County, and others have stepped to the forefront and rallied the community to a cause. C=CWT This simple equation is why we live where we do. We

A2 know the community has our back! Have a great week!

Growing PainsI have noticed

something the last couple of months. Now that my daughter is older she runs a lot of errands

for me. If it is only one or two things I need she will usually go in and grab it while the boys and I wait in the van. There both a good and not-so-good side to this. The not-so-good side is I am be-ing lazy and I am exerting less physical energy which in turn is not making it any easier to shed some unwanted pounds. But the good side of it is that my boys and I have has some very interesting conversations while waiting in the park-ing lot.

For some reason the REALLY interest-ing conversations tend to come about when we are in the Dollar General park-ing lot. There have been numerous ones but I am only going to share a couple of them with you today.

*We are sitting in the van waiting for my daughter to come out. There was lady walking out the door carrying a little baby which I believe is the reason my eight year old son started this conversa-tion:

Son: “Hey Mom”.Me: “Yes”Son: “ I wish we could have another

baby.”Me: “What? You want to have a baby?

Sorry buddy but you are way too young to have a baby.” (I was just joking around with him because I already knew what he was getting at. My children have been asking me and sometimes almost beg-ging me to have another baby for the last couple of years.)

Son: “No, mom I’m not talking about me having it. I mean I want you have another baby.

Me: “Why?”Son: I want us to have a little baby

around the house ALL the time. It was fun having Bennett (their 18 month cous-in) stay with us but then she had to leave. I want a baby at the house all the time so we can play with her and all that stuff.

Me: “I think I am past the age of having babies.”

Son: “ Well mom, in the bible- I don’t know the lady’s name- but she had a baby and she was like 99 years old and then the man, I can’t remember his name either but he was like 100 years old too. So you and dad are kind of young compared to them. And if they could have babies being re-ally, really old then you surely can have a baby only being kind of old.”

*The next conversation involved both youngest boys. I didn’t say too much at first because I was interested in hearing their view on the subject:

1st son: “ Mom, aren’t we related to ev-eryone?”

Me: “What do you mean everyone?”2nd son: “ You know mom like every

single person on earth.”1st son: “Yeah mom. Because if we all

came from Adam and Eve then aren’t we all related?”

2nd son: “Yeah, doesn’t that make us brother’s and sister’s

1st son: “So that grandma walking in to the store right now is like a older, older, older sister. Yep and that little boy right there is my

Younger brother. That’s cool!”2nd son: “Well, look at my big brother

right there and my little sister over there.”(Then one of the boys had a revelation.)1st son: “Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

Hold on a minute. Then that would mean mom married her brother.”

2nd son: “Ewwww. Then that can’t be right. You can’t marry your brother or sister.”

I was laughing so hard that it took me a few minutes before I could even respond. It is amazing how young minds work!!!!!

Just Ask Dave...by David EalesPublisher/Editor

appeal@parismo.netC=CWT Can you solve the algebraic problem to A2 the left of this column? I admit it is not

a common problem. Even Josh Ebbesmeyer might have a hard time solving this equation. Algebra is not a subject that sees many students brighten up when there is a test (sorry Mrs. Rinz). But it is a subject that has rules and is consistent time and time again,. Re-ally this problem is pretty simple and it is very impor-tant - especially to small towns like Paris, Madison, Holliday and even Monroe City.

The equation in its simplest state is C or Cause = David Eales

The road running north from Paris to the Shelby county line promises to be the best road ever built in the county. It is approxi-mately 50 feet wide, perfectly rounded and well drained.

Mrs. Susan Caplinger, mother-in-law of Mrs. Mahala Caplinger, of Paris, who is still active and does most of her own housework, recently celebrated her nine-ty-sixth birthday at her home in Moberly, where she has resided for the past 30 years.

Tourist business in Paris is looking up.During the last few days the number of

tourist cars passing through Paris has been on the increase until residents are remind-ed of the days of previous summers, when hardly an hour went by without the pass-ing of a half dozen or more touring parties.

Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Scobee, of Idaho, spent the weekend with relatives in the Paris vicinity. It was Floyd’s first home-coming in years and first visit for his wife.

A.Y. Dobyns, formerly manager of the Parvin-Clark store, at Paris, is planning to open a variety and dry goods store in the Parvin-Clark room as soon as the present stock is moved.

The coal strike and railroad strike hav-ing stopped coal shipments, it was found necessary to get fuel for the power plant at Paris from local mines and three are now getting out coal or getting ready to. The city’s plant needs about four and a half tons a day to run.

A family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Boyer southwest of Par-is, Thursday, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Shraker and daughter of Lockhart, Texas.

The W.E. Riley barn south of Madison was destroyed by fire after it was struck by lightening, Friday night. No stock was killed, but farming equipment and feed, including 10 loads of sheaf oats, were burned.

Lawrence Lee Elam, of Paris, was ac-cepted for enlistment in the United States Navy at St. Louis, Tuesday.

For the first time in several years there are five vacant houses in the two blocks of Cooper Avenue, among the best residence streets in Paris.

Machines for grinding grain are being run overtime in Paris feed stores. Farm-ers are having wheat, oats and barley con-verted into ground feed for their livestock. The grain is proving a great relief from high priced corn.

Dr. Russell Nolen, son of Mrs. Kate No-len, of Paris, has been elected to a posi-tion in the Department of Economics of the University of Illinois, going from the State Teachers College, at Carbondale, Ill., to his new post.

Dick McClain, state highway depart-ment employee, has moved to New Lon-don, where he is working on the concrete road project. Bert Mutersbaugh, Roy Lin-son and R.C. Alverson, of Paris, are also working on the project, but are driving from here daily.

Monroe Countians turned out in force Saturday for the first visit of the Bloodmo-bile to Monroe County during this fiscal year, which started July 1, and gave 146 pints of blood, three more than the quota of 143.

The two banks at Paris provided one dol-lar for each new blood donor, the money to be used in financing the 4-H leaders’ trip to Washington, D.C.

E.S. Matteson, of Paris, Veteran Uni-versity of Missouri extension livestock specialist, was presented a gold watch in ceremonies at the Missouri Livestock As-sociation meeting recently in Columbia.

City men this week began work on in-stalling a new 8-inch water line to the new high school building. It leaves Lo-cust Street at the west end and runs south across the Carl Dawson and John Arnold properties for 3,400 fee.

The Paris Khoury League, coached by Caskie Painter, is tied with Wellsville for first place in the league.

Golf players from the Paris Country Club placed third in a golf tournament at Mont-gomery City Sunday.

Playing for Paris was Dr. F.A. Barnett, Mike Halliburton, Dick Noel, Sadler, Ben-son, Moore, Delaney, Randegger, Yusko, and Barr.

Back when the Republican presidential candidates were trying to take positions to the right of each other, we heard at least five of them were for eliminating the capital gains tax. That tax is on the profits that you make when you sell an asset for more than what you paid for it. Mitt Romney was also for elimination of the tax at that time but only for the middle class.

Most recently you don’t hear very much about eliminating the capital gains tax but Mr. Romney has not said he would retain it in any form if he is elected either. The why of saying you will either do away with or never increase capital gains taxes can make raising political money much easier. The tax is paid mostly by the wealthy. About 25% of the 2009 tax was paid by households that earned at least $250,000 and in most years the largest part of the tax was paid by those households with income of $1 million or more.

Those who would eliminate the tax should also be willing to tell us how they would replace the $574 billion lost over the next five years of budget deficits and slow re-covery. The tax rate has slid from 40% in 1977 to 15% now for gains held at least one year, much lower than personal and business tax rates.

But then there are ways to delay or eliminate some of the taxes. There is a $500,000 exemption on private residences for a couple. Creators of small businesses can ex-empt 75% of their gain and IRAs and 401(k) plans are all tax deferred.

The vast difference between corporations that pay corporate income taxes of up to 35% of their profits and others who pay no taxes on profits because of the loopholes and escape clauses of our tax code can hardly argue that investors pay double taxation on corporate and capital gain taxes.

The real solution is to eliminate corporate deductions and use the savings to reduce the corporate rate substantially. Then set a budget for government spending of 20% of GDP and that spending cuts and tax increases if any, be used to raise or cut income to balance the budget at that 20% level whatever that figure is each year.

The sane approach is to determine the right size of government and how to raise the revenue to sustain it at that size. This is the way to manage a government and an economy.

Those who would push for tax cuts for the wealthy are not in step with the logic or planning that will be necessary for the future.

Gladys Limerick NullBefore she was a Null, Gladys was a LimerickA lady, yes, and a soft-spoken

one at that, but despite growing up in the cotton south, no southern belle is Gladys Limerick Null.

Mrs. Null, who will be 90 in later this summer, spent a life time rais-ing kids, gardens and traveling the country as both a tourist and the wife of an itinerant Church of God lay minister.

A native southerner, born in Au-gust 1922, Mrs. Null lived the great majority of her life in east central Mississippi, in counties bordering Alabama.

One of 10 children that all lived to adulthood – seven still live in Mississippi and Alabama – Gladys was the second oldest child of Levi and Ruby Wedgeworth Limerick of Dekalb, Miss.. She knows her great-grandfather Limerick mi-grated from Ireland, but not much else about her Irish heritage. De-spite the unique surname and its association with witty prose, Glad-ys deadpans that her father wasn’t interested in poetry; she says he had too much work to do in order to provide for a family that totaled one dozen. Levi was a farmer and he also worked in the Mobile, Ala-bama shipyard.

Gladys was Ed Null’s ‘girl next door.’ Mrs. Null says she could see Ed’s home from her family’s house and the couple married two months shy of her 17th birthday, in June 1939. Gladys quit high school after her junior year to get married and not graduating is one of her few re-grets in life.

Ed was a carpenter, working with his uncles, and not long after mar-rying Gladys the couple moved one county south, to near Merid-ian, Miss., in Lauderdale County. Along with his building trade Ed served as a minister throughout his life.

In the summers the Nulls trav-eled the country, attending 10-day long Church of God church camps. The couple first visited the Mis-souri State Camp at Mark Twain State Park in the 1940s. Later the camp site was moved to an area with buildings, south of Paris, on Highway 15, where it remains to-day. Mrs. Null says she was the head cook for the local camp for 16 years and once served as many

as 300 people one Sunday.Along with their annual Monroe

County visits, the Nulls spent nine months in Victor, in 1954, when Ed pastured the Victor Church of God. While Gladys and Ed were in residence at Victor, the couple’s daughter, Erion, became acquaint-ed with Dale Bergmann, of Paris, and they married in 1961.

In addition to their daughter, the Nulls’ have a son, Ralph, a retired professor of horticulture from Mis-sissippi State University. He is a renowned floral design authority that has traveled the country and world practicing his art.

After Ralph’s retirement, he feted his mother to several country-wide trips, including an Alaskan cruise for her 80th birthday.

Gladys has been at Monroe Man-or since March (2012) after suffer-ing a fall in her apartment, at her daughter’s rural Monroe County home.

Erion brought her mother to Mon-roe County to live with her in 2007 after Mrs. Bergmann’s now late husband, Dale, built his mother-in-law an apartment that attached to their rural home. Two years before, Mrs. Bergmann’s father, Ed, was a resident at Monroe Manor. Gladys stayed alone in Mississippi while Ed was a Manor resident. It wasn’t by choice, but somebody needed to tend to their property. After Ed passed, Erion sold her parents’ property and moved her mother north.

Mrs. Null hasn’t given up on returning to her apartment and Erion says her mother is getting progressively stronger. She is do-ing so well that the family is plan-ning a fall visit back to Mississippi so Mrs. Null can see her beloved south once again.

Local students on University of Missouri Spring Graduation list

Britton Francis participated in The American Legion Boys State of Missouri June 16-23, on the campus of the University of Cen-tral Missouri, in Warrensburg. Francis was selected based on his leadership, citizenship, academ-ics and character during his junior year at Paris High School.

Saturday, July 28, at 5:30 p.m.

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

The worship service for the Perry Christian Church, Sunday, July 22 began with Arlen Provancha singing “His Name is Wonderful”. The candles were lit by Caytlyn Provancha and Tristan Johnson.

Pastor Todd gave the call to worship and announced the bible school beginning tonight at 6:30 p.m. There will be no bible study Monday, but an assignment is to continue reading the lesson.

“I Can Only Imagine” was the song of praise. Ellen Elam will be cel-ebrating her birthday Friday, July 27. Gene Schlueter is doing ok.

“If That Isn’t Love” was the prayer song. Laura Garner, Lois Friday, John Asbury, Abe and Marie Adams on their fire loss, Ron McLaughlin (at Monroe Manor, Paris) and the family of Virginia Ballenger were our concerns. The response was “I Need Thee Every Hour”.

Pastor’s meditation preceded sharing the Lord’s Supper. “Because He Lives” was sung. Elders were Arlen and Greg Harrison. Warren Hetrick, Nancy Seelow, Wyatt Lewellen and James Parker served as deacons.

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness” was sung by Arlen. Cheri accompanied him.

Jeannie Gay demonstrated to the children how God wants them to smile as they worship Him.

Mark 6:30-34 was read by Irene Parks.“With FAITH Trust in God” was Pastor’s sermon. God looks on us as

His children and wants us to share this with others. Pray for the Vacation Bible School this week that it will be exciting to learn the lessons that Jesus teaches them.

“Jesus, I Come” was the invitation hymn. “Tell Me the Story of Jesus” closed the service.

Sun., July 22 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “On Eagles Wings” followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Come Thou Almighty King”; “Great Is Thy Faithful-ness”; “There Shall Be Showers of Blessing” and “God Will Take Care of You”.

Prayer concerns were for the Cearley’s; Carey family; Sharlajean Lechliter; Angie Koch; Gabby Sharp; James A; all those suffering from disease; and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John Grimmett led the Responsive Reading based on scripture from Psalms 23.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she sang “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”.

The message “Bad Things and Good People” was based on scripture from 2 Kings 4:1-7, 3-44 as we are in tough times only God can change the way things happen - God uses those tough times to make us turn back to Him! In the bible - God challenges His people - God has promises for us - God provided oil to a certain woman to pay her debt --- God will do the same for you. Go to Him for your source of strength...God sent twenty loaves of bread to feed over a hundred and multiplied it to feed them. Make your offering to the Lord with faith - there will be enough for your needs...Trust in the Lord to provide. God can work miracles in your life! Give someone a drink of water, who is thirsty - a gift to God!

The offertory was led by Kaylee Beckham as Patti played “MY Faith Looks Up To Thee” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” as all retired in fellowship.Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome and en-

couraged to come hear the word of the Lord from the Bible.“We are never far away from the love and mercy of the Lord” Psalms 23

“To Be Learned” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon. Scrip-ture text was taken from II Timothy 3:10-17 which was written by Paul to his student, Timothy. He first asked the question “How many think you are wise?” We all have wisdom because of the Holy Spirit that lives in each one of us. Four points from the sermon were 1) learn by studying 2) learn from past experiences and prayers 3) learn from those who live their lives in front of you (those that follow the teaching of the Word 4) learn from people you knew during your childhood. The more we study the Word, the better prepared we will be when opportunities arise when around others who question us. Pastor Kenny also gave the children’s sermon. He showed the children a cross made out of olive wood from Jerusalem. Jesus took our sins to the cross which was a made out of a tree. Ashley (Sam) Kendrick taught the children’s ministry. Bill & Pat Miller and Valena Booth were door greeters prior to the service.

Prayers were requested for Jadyn Heaton, James A Booth, Wendall Tay-lor, Gabby Sharp, Gary Oliver, Sara Watson, Lillian Deaver family, John Asbury, Martha Taylor, those attending church camp this week, for rain to break the drought and the families of the Colorado tragedy. Praises were for Evert & Dorothy Kendrick’s new great granddaughter, Alleigh Rae Graupman (daughter of Shane & Tara), Jo Reynolds’ son new job, Frances Thomas’ scan was good and her hearing is much better, Angie & Brian Yelton’s new daughter, everyone’s safety from the fire in Perry next door to the post office where Erma Wilkerson works and for Pastor Kenny & Joni’s daughter, Kendra, getting to sing “Amazing Grace” on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Jo Reynolds’ son also sent thanks to everyone for keeping him in their prayers to find employment. Thanks were also for everyone helping with the dinner following Jane Scrogin’s memorial service and to those who cleaned up the basement ministry. John Theis sent word of thanks to Susan Kendrick and the SALT Saturday group for making them feel so welcomed during the Old Threshers tractor parade stop at the church.

The fellowship hall will be unlocked this week for anyone needing to be in a cool place during the heat wave.

This week’s message was titled “The Beatitudes Pt. 2” and came from Matt. 5:5: ‘Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth’. Being meek does not mean weakness. In fact one must be strong to follow the teachings of Jesus in a sinful world. Jesus was meek and no one would call Him weak. To look like Jesus one must be meek. Being meek is living God’s way so one must learn the ways of God and live them out. Characteristics of meekness are strength, humbleness, gentleness, for-giveness, and being quiet. This is opposite of what the world teaches.

On Sunday, July 22, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church was welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. Special guest, Cade McMorris, Jim and Mary’s niece, was welcomed. Jane Akers opened services with the prelude.

Paris Christian Church will host the county-wide hymn sing on Sunday evening, July 29. A celebration honoring Mac and Catherine Donovan on their 70th anniversary will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 2-4 p.m., at the Mark Twain Country Club.

Come Thou Almighty King was the opening hymn which was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

Happy birthday wishes were for: Brandon Callison and Lesslie Mc-Gilligan and in memory of Jewell Sheerman. Ann Ragsdale expressed appreciation on behalf of her family for concern shown at the passing of her brother. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Peggy Crabtree and Harold Moore. Sympathy was extended to the family of Lillian Deaver. Cade McMorris has three sisters who are participating in the Show-Me Games; their team has won their first two softball games.

“Be Still, My Soul” was the prayer hymn sung; moments of meditation during playing of the final verse, were followed by pastoral prayer and recital of the Lord’s Prayer. As the communion hymn, “O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee” was sung, the elders and deacons went forward. Of-fertory prayers, sharing of communion and collection of offerings were followed by the doxology.

Scripture from Mark 5:21-43 was read and was reference for Reverend Holmes’ morning message entitled “Keeping the Faith”. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Take the Name of Jesus With You”, was sung and was followed by a closing prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song”.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Diane Wilson read “I Got Your Mama”. Jim McMorris opened Bible Study with prayer and led the group in study of the Matthew 21:1-32.

Kathy Miller provided worshipful music to open the service. Keith Hillard gave the invocation.

John Mitchell gave the children’s sermon beginning by asking the ques-tion, “What do you need for a treasure hunt?” There were many excited replies including a map, an airplane, and pirate ship. John explained to them that Jesus was the greatest treasure. He takes care of all our needs.

Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship and for the “Personal worship moment” sang, “Spirit of the Living God”. DeDee Mitchell led chil-dren’s church. Sally Eales sang a solo, “Evermore”.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled “Life Together: Rescued People” from Colossians 1:9-14. Paul speaks of prayer for the people to have wisdom in godly living and to grow in the knowledge of God and His Will.

The environment we live in can be spiritually lacking but we can be res-cued to safety with Christ from the domain of darkness to the Kingdom of light. Once we have been rescued we should live a life that reflects our worthiness of the blessings we receive. The gift of salvation is available to everyone regardless of their present circumstances.

“God doesn’t remove the scars” Jesus was resurrected, raised from death on the cross. Life from death, as it were. A perfect example of God’s Grace...but why did God not remove the scars? In the twentieth chapter of the Book of John, we read that Thomas was not convinced that Jesus had indeed been resurrected. He commented that unless he could touch the wounds, see the damage done by the cross, he would not believe. Jesus then appeared and invited Thomas to touch the wounds... wounds that God did not heal.

Each of us have scars on our body that remind us of our injuries: re-minding us of the pain inflicted. These are scars that God leaves us. He could have healed our wounds without scars, had He chosen: but He wanted us to see the reminders... to learn the lessons. Scripture carefully points out the painful torments Christ endured at the hands of men. They demonstrate true love. But there are other scars that we do not normally see: emotional scars... reminders of damage done by harsh words, con-descending attitudes, and hateful actions. These are scars that we can conceal from one another, but not from God. He keeps an eye on them, waiting for us to give him a chance to help us overcome them: and when we do, He leads us to victory.

Chigger Hill’s annual crappie tournament and fish fry was an-other big success. They had 70 boats enter the tournament with 181 fisherpersons fishing. The fishing has not been real good so they were a little concerned they wouldn’t have enough fish for the fish fry but they came through for the fry again... Total weight for all fish caught was 376.71 lbs.

First place went to Dan Zufall and Jim Dant from the Eureka area with 9.38 lbs. Second place went to Steve Volegesang, Jason Christ and Matt Boschert with 9.18 lbs. They paid out 14 places and the lowest weight in the money was 7.84 lbs. It was a pretty tight race. The first place Big Fish for the day was 1.60 lbs., caught by Reg-gie Reidinger and Randy Miller, of New London. Second place Big Fish went to Tim and Tom Worth, of St. Louis, with 1.56 lbs. The weather was a little warm but by the time dinner was served it was cooling down and everyone was hungry. It was noted that there is

Should You Take a Loan From Your 401(k)?

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Many people find that their 401(k) accounts have become one of their largest financial assets after years of regular contributions with an employer match. Some employers even allow plan participants to borrow against the funds, and that can be tempting. Wouldn’t almost everyone like extra cash? However, a 401(k) loan can set back your retirement and create a financial bind if you leave your employer. As a result, a 401(k) loan should be considered for emergencies only, if at all.

With a 401(k) loan, you can borrow up to 50 percent of the vested balance in your 401(k) account or $50,000, whichever is lesser. How-ever, you will have to pay the money back with interest. The interest is credited to your 401(k) account, not to your employer, so you are paying the money to yourself. Because you pay yourself, the 401(k) loan may be a cheaper way to borrow money.

Just because a 401(k) loan could be a cheap way to borrow money doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea. A 401(k) loan has several draw-backs. First, the money has to be repaid, usually over a five-year pe-riod. If you leave the company or the 401(k) plan is terminated, the loan will typically become due within 60 days. That can happen if you quit or are laid off, or if the company merges with another company or goes out of business. These unforeseen events cause their own finan-cial emergencies and set back your retirement.

If the loan is not repaid when due, then the balance will be treated as a withdrawal, and it will generally be subject to income tax on the distribution as well as a 10 percent penalty tax if you are younger than 59½.

If you face a serious financial emergency, then borrowing money from your 401(k) plan may make sense. It can be easy to obtain, and you pay the interest to yourself rather than to a bank. However, con-sider it only after you’ve exhausted your cash savings accounts. It is best to leave your 401(k) alone so that you can continue building toward your retirement goals for the future.

On Saturday, July 14, a fire at Lake Village destroyed the memo-ries of a young family. Possibly an electrical problem caused a blaze that destroyed the family dwelling of the newly married couple.

Members of the Paris “9-12 We the People of Monroe County” is organizing an effort to encourage all the residents of the Paris com-munity to join with them to help out their fellow neighbors - Al-len and Emily Perry. The couple lost about everything except some kitchen items.

Allen is the son of Robert and Connie Perry, of Paris; and Emily is the daughter of Monte and Ellen Kohler, of St. Louis. Emily and Al-len are both employed at Monroe Manor. The couple is expecting their first child on Valentine’s Day.

A bank account in their name has been established at the Paris Na-tional Bank P. O. box 228. Paris, MO 65275. Any donations can be mailed or left at the bank.

For Paris friends and neighbors wishing to just leave donations in collection jars - collection contain-ers can be found at Jacs Restaurant, The 15 Diner, The Paris National

Bank, UMB Bank and Hickman’s IGA.

Any donations large or very small would be greatly appreciated as the community comes together to show their support for neighbors. The couple are presently hoping to find a new rental property, in Paris. All questions can be directed to 573-881-4035 or 660-327-1061The American Red Cross North-east Missouri Chapter dispatched a Disaster Action Team Volunteer to the fire in Paris.

City Smoke Test... Continued from front

Where in Europe was Danielle Wheelan?

Danielle Wheelan, Paris R-II student and daughter of Sidney and Keaton Wheelan, was part of the Missouri Ambassadors of Music.

She continues her commentary as she traveled through Europe. DAY 14Today was a very humbling day. We went to the Holocaust concen-

tration camp in Dachau, Germany. Most of it had been destroyed after World War II, but nothing has been forgotten. It is actually one of several that have been preserved as a reminder of what hate can do. It was a bit unsettling but I think it was a good experience for all of us.

We spent most of our time there and driving until we arrived in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany; The place of our final concert and hotels for the last two nights. Rothenburg is a very unique, one of a kind, little city. It is completely surrounded by a stone wall, and the town looks like it hasn’t been updated since medieval times. Tonight, my friends and I walked along the wall and took a tour around the city by a medieval watchman that used to guard the city.

DAY 15Today was our last full day in Europe and the morning’s schedule was up to us. Most people, including

me, shopped for souvenirs and went to the city’s medieval torture museum. The band and choir had our final concert later in the day. The band had their concert in the historic Market Square, right under the clock tower. The choir had their concert at Franciskanerkiche, an attractive little church in the city.

At the end of the night, we had our goodbye party. It was really bittersweet. I’ll miss everyone here so much. After living with these people for three weeks, they really have become my second family. It’s going to be so weird not waking up and seeing them every single day. At least I’ll see them at the airport tomorrow. I think tomorrow is really going to be when it sets in. It’s hard to believe that in less than 24 hours I will be back in the U.S.

Day 16I was right. It has really set in. I’m happy to be going home to see my friends and family but yet I don’t

want to leave this family; the Missouri Ambassadors of Music. Europe was so amazing and I will cherish the memories I made for the rest of my life. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I am so happy that I had this amazing group to help make it even better. I’m not looking forward to the 12 hour flight but I’m ready to join the Paris FBLA chapter at Nationals, in San Antonio, Texas. Another amazing experi-ence to end an absolutely perfect trip.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me and been reading my articles, I truly appreciate it.Editor’s Note: Next week an open interview with Danielle Wheelan will appear in this space. Also as

soon as she returns to the United States there will be an interview with Rotary Short Term Exchange stu-dent Kenzie Dye, who is currently in Spain. She is sponsored by the Paris Rotary Club.

You can follow Kenzie’s exploits in Sunny Spain on her blog www.kenzierye6060.wordpress.com.It is exciting that our youth have these opportunities provided by organizations and groups to help

expand their knowledge and have the cultural experiences that many of our local youth have seen this summer.

Food Bank’s Buddy Pack Program helps feed hungry children in Monroe County

In 2005, as most children were running to the bus for the start of spring break, one little girl stayed back. When the teacher approached her and asked why she wasn’t go-ing, she broke into tears and ex-plained that she didn’t want to go home for the week because it wasn’t safe and there was noth-ing to eat. The following year, The Food Bank for Central & North-east Missouri launched the Buddy Pack program to ensure that chil-dren in need have something to eat at home. A Buddy Pack is a back-pack filled with nutritious food for kids to take home when there is not enough for them to eat over the weekend.

Monroe County is not immune to childhood hunger. In fact, more than 839 Monroe County children qualify for free and reduced-priced meals at school. During the week, students who qualify are provided nutritious breakfasts and lunches at school. For some students, school breakfast and lunch are the only meals of the day. And during the weekend these children are at risk of hunger. A weekend can be a long time to go without food. To combat this risk, The Food Bank has been providing Buddy Packs to Monroe County for four years and currently serves 26 students every Friday.

Research shows that healthy, well-nourished children are much better learners. The Buddy Pack

program is The Food Bank’s an-swer to childhood hunger in Mon-roe County. The Buddy Packs are filled with nutritious, shelf-stable, kid-friendly foods such as peanut butter, pop-top fruits and soups, fruit juice, granola bars and dried fruits and nuts.

However the program faces a number of challenges:

• An increase in demand.• Cost of fuel has skyrocketed in

the past 18 months and has impact-ed long distance freight and caused the price of food we must purchase to rapidly increase – anywhere from 15% to 40%.

• Due to a change in corporate policy a major food manufacturer has had to dramatically reduce food donations earmarked for this program.

The Food Bank has launched an Adopt a Buddy initiative in hopes that individual Monroe County cit-izens or organizations will to pay for the cost of a Buddy Pack for

one child. Regional Coordinator at The Food Bank, John Wampler says, “The goal is to find 9 spon-sors in the county as soon as possi-ble. Currently, we have 17 students adopted for this program. Our hope is that community leaders will help recruit people in the area to ‘adopt’ at least one student with a $180 do-nation. Every dollar raised in your county will benefit a child in your county.”

UMB Bank in Monroe City has graciously agreed to be a drop-off location for donations. Those wishing to help a child in Monroe County can make a check payable to “Adopt A Buddy” and mail it to The Food Bank’s fundraising part-ner, UMB Bank, 201 North Main Street, Monroe City, MO 63456 or visit www.sharefoodbringhope.org/adoptabuddy and sign up to give $15 each month or $180 each year.

Thursday, July 26, 2012 13Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com

In response to recent extreme temperatures and drought that has impacted forage acres, Tony Fran-cis, Monroe County executive di-rector of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), announced emer-gency haying and grazing use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres is now authorized in Monroe County, Missouri.

According to Francis, 73 Mis-souri counties have been released for emergency haying and graz-ing.

“Producers who are struggling to find forage acres for their live-stock should take advantage of this opportunity,” said Francis.

Emergency haying in approved counties is allowed through Aug. 31, 2012. Participants must leave

USDA Authorizes Emergency Haying and Grazing of CRP Acres for Monroe County

at least 50 percent of each field or contiguous fields unhayed for wildlife. Hay must be removed from the field by Sept. 15.

Emergency grazing in approved counties is allowed through Sept. 30, 2012. Participants shall leave at least 25 percent of each field or contiguous CRP field ungrazed, or graze not more than 75 percent of the stocking rate. All livestock must be removed by the end of the grazing period.

Francis said emergency hay-ing and grazing is not allowed on the same acreage and only cer-tain CRP practices are eligible. The Secretary of Agriculture an-nounced on July 11, 2012, the payment reduction for emergency haying and grazing has been re-

duced from 25 percent of the rent-al payment per acre to 10 percent for the 2012 year.

Eligible producers who are in-terested in haying or grazing CRP under the emergency authoriza-tion, and current CRP participants who choose to provide land for haying or grazing to an eligible livestock producer, must first re-quest approval and obtain a modi-fied conservation plan from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

For more information on and eligibility requirements for CRP emergency haying and grazing, contact the Monroe County FSA at 660 327 4137or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/mo.

Attorney General Chris Koster said today that Missourians must register their cell phones on the no-call list before Aug. 1 for their numbers to be included on the Oc-tober 1 list sent to telemarketers. People can register their number on the Attorney General’s website at ago.mo.gov or by phone at 866-662-2551.

“More than 175,000 numbers have been registered since June 14, the day Governor Nixon signed the legislation expanding the regis-try to include cell phones,” Koster said. “This is a tremendous re-sponse by people who are tired of receiving and having to pay for

unwelcome and annoying calls on their cell phones.”

The no-call registry is updated quarterly, and people who add their mobile numbers to the list by July 31 will be covered as of October 1. Everyone signing up after July 31 and before November 1 will be covered beginning January 1.

Koster said the law covers only cell phones that are primarily used for personal and family calls. Cell phones that are used primarily for business are not covered.

Samantha J. Wilkerson and M. Jordan Davis were united in marriage Saturday, March 10, 2012, at the First Chris-tian Church in Columbia. Pas-tor Kenneth Sharp of Santa Fe Christian Church officiated over the double-ring ceremony.

Samantha was given in mar-riage by her parents, Darrel and Nancy Wilkerson of Paris. Her grandparents are Dorothy and the late Ralph Wilkerson and Bonnie and the late David Suds-berry.

She chose a strapless Ella sat-in gown adorned with layers of chiffon for her wedding attire. The sweetheart neckline was ac-cented with crystals, and Saman-tha also added a crystal beaded belt to complete her gown. Ad-ditionally, her cathedral length veil was edged with crystals. Her outfit was completed with a diamond necklace gifted from the groom and purple satin Badgley Mischka heels accent-ed with crystals. Samantha and her attendants carried bouquets of fresh Casablanca lilies, roses, sweet pea and hydrangea.

Samantha’s attendants were Matron of Honor, Kristin Street-Krchelich, of Clarinda, Iowa; Maid of Honor, Emily Albertson of Geneva, Ill., who was absent as she is serving in the Peace Corps; Wendy Howell of Polo; Jessica Kendrick, Salisbury, Danielle Sharp, Oak Grove; Shelby Davis of Monroe City; and Katlyn Logan of Sheldon. The bridesmaids wore grape, knee-length chiffon halter dress-es accessorized with lemongrass green chunky necklaces made by Samantha’s aunt, Teresa Briscoe. Their outfits were com-pleted with lemongrass green heels.

Jordan is the son of Michael and Sandy Davis, of Monroe City. He is the grandson of Hel-en and the late Arnold Davis and Jane and the late Sam Akers. Jordan and all of the men work black tuxes with either lemon-grass green or purple grape vests depending on their role. Jared Bichsel of Monroe City, was Jordan’s Best Man. Groomsmen

were Michael Thomas, Dustin Jarman, Keaton and Kyle Ken-drick all of Monroe City and Luke Stevens of Montgom-ery City. Stephen Moss, Alan Wilkerson, Dustin Wilkerson, and Stephen Foss served as the ushers for the ceremony.

During the ceremony Johanna Wilkerson read scripture from 1 Corinthians. Charlotte Mon-tague of New Cambria, sang “God Gave Me You” accom-panied on the piano by Mandi Scheulen of Linn. The ring bearer and flower girl were Christian Miles and Gracee Foss respectively.

The groom’s parents hosted

the Rehearsal Dinner at Boone Tavern, Columbia, where many enjoyable stories were shared. Following the ceremony, a re-ception was hosted by the bride’s parents at Stoney Creek Inn also in Columbia. Dinner and danc-ing were enjoyed by the large crowd of family and friends. The couple honeymooned on a cruise of the Caribbean immediately following the wedding festivi-ties.

Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Davis now reside in Pekin, Illinois, where Samantha is a district sales man-ager for Monsanto and Jordan is a heavy equipment operator for B.E.B. Excavating.
