Monroe County Appeal sells to new owners The Monroe County Appeal has been sold. After approximately 20 years of ownership Publisher Richard (Dick) Fredrick has sold the newspaper to Lewis County Press, LLC effective June 1.

Mr. Fredrick has been a hands on publisher during his ownership time. Besides writing his weekly column and being a spokesman for community news - he has been a sounding board and friend for the papers’ editors and employees.

In the Aug. 20, 1992 issue of the Appeal it was written that, “Mr. Fredrick has an active interest in civic, educational and political affairs. He is currently serving as City Attorney and as a member of the Paris R-II School Board.” In rural Amer-

ica things change but also remain the same as witnessed by this entry that very well could have been written today.

Two Chicago entrepreneurs whose goals are to build community journalism and successful community newspapers founded Lewis County Press, LLC in 2010.

Lewis County Press, LLC believes that a community newspaper with a strong local connection, such as the Monroe County

The Survivors’ Luncheon, an American Cancer Society Relay For Life event, was held on Sunday, June 3, in the Roegge Room of the Paris Library. The tables were beautifully decorated for the event.

Monroe County Cancer Supporters Director Donna Morgan is the chairperson and organizer. With help from members of the Monroe County Relay For Life Committee and many from MCCS, the luncheon served 40 survivors, beating the previous record of 37. A total of 72 survivors, caregivers, hosts and guests attended and enjoyed a great meal provided by a number of ladies who prepared huge dishes to feed the crowd.

A program of brief presentations was highlighted by an inspiring message of hope from Lucia Patterson who is, herself, a 12 year survivor of three cancers-breast, colo-rectal, and liver.

The conclusion of the luncheon was a balloon launch (symbolizing freedom from cancer). Helium balloons, with the color representing the type of cancer each survivor had, were prepared by Kendall and Tammy Mason (cousin and aunt of Carly and Morgan McCall) representing Barking Butterfly Bakery.

“The Survivors’ Luncheon was, again, an appropriate way of honoring the ordeal our survivors have undergone,” said MCCS President John Turner. “On behalf of the survivors and caregivers, thanks to Donna and all who helped.

The 2012 Relay For Life of Monroe County “Colors For A Cure” is close!

The Relay For Life of Monroe County organizing committee has been meeting and is looking forward to a great 2012 Relay and is encouraging anyone that wants to be a part of this ongoing fight against cancer to join them now.

Join your friends, neighbors and family members on Saturday, June 23, at 6 p.m., at the Monroe County Courthouse, for the annual evening of Celebrating, Remembering and Fighting Back against Cancer!

Local graduate and fan favorite Becky Blackaby will provide entertainment; there will be a bounce house and activities for kids, food, fellowship and lots of shared memories with the always-somber luminaria ceremony.

At the luminary ceremony, candles are placed in luminary bags that are purchased in the names of cancer victims and survivors. The luminary bags outline the Relay Track and the ceremony is held after dark to honor cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost their battle against cancer. This is a very touching and meaningful ceremony as you see family members lighting candles in memory and honor of their loved ones. For luminaries contact Vanessa Forrest.

This year features an excellent guest speaker, Joyce Penny. No one will want to miss her inspirational story.

Survivor Luncheon a rousing success

Appeal, can still be a viable and successful part of the community.

The Monroe County Appeal will now join its sister papers - Lewis County Press News Journal ( Canton), Macon County

Home Press (South Edition, Bevier) and the Macon County Home Press (North Edition, LaPlata) under the Lewis County, LLC ownership umbrella.

“Things will be a little different but mostly they will remain as they are now,” said editor and now publisher David Eales. “There will be some minor cosmetic changes to the paper and a new streamlined office.”

“Basically it will be business as usual,”

remarked Eales. “Our coverage of the news, sports, meetings and other local happenings will remain the same or improve. Our journalistic commitment to the community and county will not waiver.”

The Appeal will continue to focus on strong reporting and photography coupled with its strong Internet presence.

Eales has been with the Monroe County Appeal for six years with five of those years spent in the editor’s position and a year in graphic design.

“Within the next couple weeks we plan to have an open house,” said Eales. “I invite all the local residents to come in and say hello and visit with the office staff. To contact the Appeal call 660-327-4192

Paris R-II principal and students recognize teacher Barb Mason How do you define excellence? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as: very good of its kind, eminently good.

Ask the Paris R-II high school students who have businesses classes, technology classes or are involved in FBLA and they will reply – Mrs. Barb Mason.

Mason was nominated for a television station award for her teaching success as described by her principal Matt Smith as, “Mrs. Barb Mason has spent nearly thirty years serving students in our community not only as a superb instructor, but also as a mentor and role model.” “Mrs. Mason exemplifies not only the character and excellence we hope students will develop, but also serves as a wonderful example to younger teachers on how educators can make a tangible difference in the lives of children.”

“Mrs. Mason’s influence reaches far beyond the walls of her classroom,” added Principal Smith. “She is actively involved in leading staff in collaborating to constantly improve instruction, achievement and culture in our school.”

One only has to look in the classroom

to see examples of Mrs. Mason’s teaching prowess and students’ success as witnessed by the row after row of trophies and awards.

Mrs. Mason’s students were active in the nominating process.

“Mrs. Mason has made a crucial difference in my education, and goes out of her way to do so,” said Shelby Dickey. “She is always encouraging students to go further and farther.”

“Mrs. Barbara Mason has been one of the most inspirational and influential teachers for me,” said Josh Ebbesmeyer. “Mrs. Mason’s high expectations and positive attitude have helped me set and achieve high personal standards and goals in her classes and in FBLA.” “I guarantee you, that if I had not taken Continued to page 9

The Paris Area Chamber of Commerce has changed the date for its second quarter meeting to Monday, June 18, at 6:30 p.m., at the Paris Community Building.

The topic for the meeting will revolve around social media – its importance in using this medium to attract customers and help increase their business and help business owners realize the impact that social media is now having and will have on businesses in the future A presentation will focus on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and possibly other social media entities.

Refreshments for the evening’s event will be cake, cookies and ice cream.

The chamber began their quarterly meetings after hearing from chamber members that they wanted a more substantive meeting than just a lunchtime monthly meeting rehashing the board’s minutes. Hence the quarterly training meetings were born.

For more information contact Chamber Executive Director Vanessa Forrest at 660-327-4450.

Monroe County

APPEAL

My Grateful Swan Song

By way of confirming one of the local rumors around town, yes, I have sold the Monroe County Appeal. The buyers are Lewis County Press, LLC, who have other newspaper properties in Missouri including the papers at Canton and LaPlata. They have the resources and experience to compete successfully and carry on the long tradition of the Appeal into the future. The new owners have retained most of the staff of the paper going forward which will make for a seamless transition.

My heartfelt thanks to David Eales and to Chelsea Luntsford for their loyalty and for the many extras that they added to their time at the paper. That both have rejected offers from other sources to stay at the Appeal is a sign not only of their professional value but of their desire to remain a part of our community. Thanks also to Joanne Bonney for her commitment, honesty and extra time that she spent at the paper and as a volunteer in the community. My gratitude also to Megan Hulen, who has taken on the challenging job of marketing the Appeal and picking up the paper at Mexico each week, for her hard work and effort. And thanks to you loyal subscribers and purchasers and readers of the Appeal for your continuing support.

I am truly blessed. First, of course, by a large loving family but also by being able to make a living doing what I always wanted to do, become a lawyer. The bonus of owning the Appeal, continuing the legacy of Jack Blanton for these 20 years and working over the years with so many great employees and friends, is more than I ever expected.

Thank you all.

For anyone that I have offended in any way by what I have written, I do apologize.

To those who disagreed with something I wrote, it is never personal nor should your response be so. Friendly disagreement is as old as the Garden of Eden and is recorded among our founding fathers. In that regard, I will continue to write “My Turn” for the Appeal with the notation that it is not the opinion of the newspaper. Even the St. Louis Post Dispatch carries conservative writers on its opinion page.

Finally, the sale is not a notice of retirement from my law practice which I will continue until either I forget the way to the office or Jim Reinhard pulls up with the pickup wagon.

Just Ask Dave...

by David Eales Publisher/Editor

appeal@parismo.net

As you read on the front page - the Monroe County Appeal is now under new ownership.

Also, I have taken over the title of publisher to go along with my editor position.

Change is not always bad, it is sometimes a good thing - it helps shake things up and can make for a better result.

Right now rumors abound all over town about the new owners. Are they foreign? Will they move the paper? Will there be lots of changes?

David Eales The answers are simple - no, no and no!

Will there be changes - of course there will be. We have already made some cosmetic changes in areas such as the page numbers, yesteryears headings and on the church page. But our overall mission to provide quality coverage of the local community will remain the same. We are committed to producing a quality product week in and week out. This will not change.

We will continue to be “your” local community newspaper!

Just a quick side note to tell you how the column was named. My three year old grandson, Lokahi, whenever asked by his mom and dad to describe something he has seen always says, “Just Ask Dave...” Have a great week!

Dave

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am writing in regards to the recent vandalism at the Paris High School. Some individuals took it upon themselves to remove a Faculty and Staff parking sign. This incident was not even comparable to the chopping down of a tree on school property. This certain tree was recently planted in honor and memory of an employee that the district just lost a month ago after a lengthy battle with cancer. That tree was planted for Minnie Sanders who worked for the school for 30 years.

I was appalled when I saw what had been done. I asked myself, what is wrong with people today, that they feel it is “Okay”, or even “Cool”, to destroy others property?

Where is the respect or even the morals to leave what is not yours alone? It’s just such a disappointment to realize these individuals are so morally corrupt that they can do something like this and then walk away. I hope the person, or persons responsible for this horrific act, read this letter and maybe feel some sort of guilt or remorse.

Thank You, Laura Carman Paris Editor’s Note: According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department this vandalism is still under investigation. School officials verified that the tree was damaged and removed and that the sign was indeed taken from the property. The Sheriff’s Department also disclosed another vandalism incident involving damage to the school’s rooftop antenna.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

The Strength of a Woman The strength of a woman is not always measured by her ability to speak her mind but rather by her decision to use self control and keep quiet.

The strength of a woman is not always determined by how much she can do by herself but instead how willing she is to be vulnerable and allow others to know she needs help.

The strength of a woman may not be shown by how many times she can hold her tears back but instead by how many tears she can let go.

The strength of a woman is not always about how much she can handle with her own capabilities but instead how strong her faith is and how she can find comfort knowing God will not give her more than she can bear.

The strength of a woman is finding a way to forgive the unforgivable, love the unlovable, being kind to the unkind, showing compassion to those who need compassion, and encouraging those who need encouraging.

But the only way to possess the true strength of a woman is knowing and accepting the true love of God the Father.

For without Him a woman will never be able to see who she really is and know how much she is truly loved and therefore will never know the strength she has been given.

It is so important for us as women to

understand what defines our strength.

It is not about how loud we can voice our opinion on anything and everything.

Sometimes we need to hold our tongues and if we need to get something off our chest we do not need to air it to everyone publicly but instead air it to God or a trusted person who can remain neutral and unaffected.

I have found that it takes a lot more strength to shut my mouth than it does to keep talking. I have found this especially true in my marriage. In the early years I thought I had to always give my opinion and get the last word in when my husband and I were having a disagreement. I thought the only way to get my point across was to make sure I voiced it sometimes over and over again until it stuck. I thought if I kept quiet than I was being weak. Boy, was I wrong. I have found out that it is much harder to not say anything and praying about it instead. It takes self control and patience which I believe are attributes of a strong woman not a weak one.

A young lady made the comment that in her generation when you keep your mouth shut and try to turn the other cheek , people take you as weak. When she said that it really struck a place in my heart and inspired me to write the poem you just read.. I hope those of us women who are considered the old and slightly older generation will show the younger generation the true picture of a strong woman by our actions and by our love for them and for all people.

Paris combined Vacation Bible School a success

Vacation Bible School was held June 2, at the Paris Presbyterian Church. With the united efforts of the First Christian Church, United Methodist Church and Paris Presbyterian Church it proved to be a successful and rewarding day.

The theme was “Let God’s Light Shine Throughout the World” and to that end, projects were donated back to the community and sent to a foreign country. Backpacks were decorated with fabric markers to be sent to the God’s Child School in Guatemala. Bean soup mix was assembled in decorated bags and distributed along with the recipe to seniors in Paris Senior Citizens Housing by Payton Ness, Heather and Kathy Gilmore.

Participants were divided into groups to move between four stations during the morning and afternoon. Stations included Music & More By The Shore, Vanessa Forrest; Ship Rec Games, Erin Gruber; Projects With A Purpose, Gayle Threlkeld and Bright Bible Adventures, Beth Turner.

The Pre-School section was headed by Terry Taylor assisted

by Annie Miller and Autumn Taylor. Lunch was prepared by Peggy Peck and Jackie Bordeleau.

Helpers throughout the day included Heather, Ronnie and Tracie who are residents of the C.T. Loyd Apartments in Mexico. Their staff coordinator, Penny, from the Audrain Developmental Disabilities Service accompanied them and helped throughout the day with the various projects.

Sunday morning a worship service at the First Christian Church highlighted the VBS participants who entertained with music learned throughout the day with Vanessa Forrest. A video of the day’s activities made by Pat Reading, who took pictures throughout the day, was enjoyed by those attending the service. The morning message was given by John Grimmett with Ben Mulford closing the service with prayer.

Others participating were Robbie Turner, August Hayhurst, Payton Ness, Anita Ness, Patti Grimmett and Donna Scott. Kathy Gilmore was VBS Coordinator.

Monroe Manor Spotlight Mary Evelyn Engle

A career homemaker and selfproclaimed “great babysitter,” Mary Evelyn Engle has been a Monroe Manor resident since November of 2011.

Born in rural Monroe County, May 24, 1923, the daughter of John and Lura Towles, Mrs. Engle was the younger of two daughters.

The Towles’ came to the county after the Civil War; Mrs. Engle’s great-grandfather migrated from Paris, Kentucky, to Paris, Missouri, similar to what several generations of other southerners did in the nineteenth century. On a trip to Kentucky several years ago, Mrs. Engle says she couldn’t get over the familiar surnames she saw and heard.

In the 1930s, Mrs. Engle’s father went to work for the Union Central Life Insurance company as a property manager and moved his wife and daughters to Kansas City, Kansas. Mary Evelyn and her sister, Margaret, both graduated from Shawnee-Mission High School, in Kansas.

The Towles’ eventually moved back to Monroe County, but Mary Evelyn stayed in the KCMO area, working at several jobs. On a 1948 Labor Day weekend trip back to Paris, Mary Evelyn’s sister introduced her to Hugh Engle Jr., who, unbeknownst to her, was a fellow Monroe Countian. Their blind date consisted of going to the thenpopular club north of Paris, Pine Springs. Hugh was WWII Infantry veteran of the European Theater attending an industrial training center for veterans in Paris. The

couple married in 1950.

Hugh served as Monroe County Circuit Clerk and Recorder for 12 years, 1951 to 1963, worked at the Paris Savings Bank and United Missouri Bank for 20 years, 1965 to 1985 and farmed.

Mrs. Engle never worked outside the home after marrying, but was a busy homemaker, raising the couple’s only child, Blanton, and helping care for her three nieces and nephew and every kid in their neighborhood. Today she has two grown grandchildren and a greatgranddaughter, the first Engle girl born in more than a century.

The Engles are long-time members of Mount Airy Baptist church and Mary Evelyn enjoys visiting with the many friends and relatives that she sees at Monroe Manor.

Thank you for your support!

How To Help Conquer Home Humidity

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

According to ENERGY STAR®, the ideal indoor humidity level is between 30 and 50 percent. In addition to just making you uncomfortable, high humidity levels can pose a threat to your home’s structure and surfaces. Help clear the air with these tips for reducing and controlling humidity at home.

Why Home Humidity Matters Managing indoor humidity levels can: Improve personal comfort.

Control moisture that can damage your home’s wood, paint and siding.

Prevent mildew growth and odors in clothing and belongings.

Improve indoor air quality by reducing dust mites, mold and other allergens.

Reduce pest infestations.

Improve the energy efficiency of your air conditioner.

How to Help Reduce and Control Humidity Some Southern homeowners use their air conditioners year-round to combat humidity. Theo Etzel, CEO of Conditioned Air Corporation of Naples, Inc. in Naples, Florida, has these recommendations for more effective continuous use of your cooling system: Set the fan to automatic. (Keeping it in the “on” position actually re-humidifies the space by blowing air over a wet coil when the condenser cycles off.)

Invest in a unit with a variable-speed air handler.

Consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier.

Don’t automatically lower the thermostat. Etzel says turning down the thermostat to reduce humidity can actually be a sign of an oversized air conditioning system.

Ways to Help Cut Excess Humidity Etzel notes that air-conditioning systems can only keep up with the moisture they’re designed to remove, whether the systems condition fresh incoming air, recirculating interior air, or both.

Here are ways to help keep additional moisture and humidity from infiltrating the home: Vent clothes dryers to the outdoors.

Install vent fans in kitchens and bathrooms.

Run a dehumidifier.

Cover dirt floors in crawl spaces with a plastic vapor barrier.

Seal air and duct leaks.

Select houseplants that absorb moisture from the air, such as Boston ferns.

Keep air-conditioning drip pans and drain lines clean and unobstructed.

Avoid activities that add moisture to the air on humid days, such as taking hot showers and boiling water on the stove.

Take measures outside. ENERGY STAR suggests keeping gutters and downspouts clean, extending downspouts further from the house, watering plants only when needed and sloping soil away from foundations to keep water from pooling.

Here are more humidity-reducing tips for keeping your home comfortable and functional in warm weather.

SUZANNE GRIFFITH

6 Thursday, June 7, 2012 Paris First Christian Church Pastor Donna Scott The Paris First Christian Church held the monthly Praise and Worship service, “Three Churches, One God,” on Sunday, June 3, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. It was a combined service for the Christian, Methodist, and Presbyterian Churches and concluded the Community Vacation Bible School. The Vacation Bible School kids sang a Praise song, the Prayer hymn, the Communion hymn, and the Congregational Response. The morning message, “Don’t Worry...Be Happy,” was given

by Reverend John Grimmett and was based on Psalm 68:3. A Moment for Relay for Life was given by Vanessa Forrest. Good food and fellowship was enjoyed at a carry-in dinner in the Fellowship Hall following the worship service.

Upcoming announcements include: Thursday, June 7 - Relay for Life Scarf-making Session in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, June 12 - Millers at 1:00 p.m., Relay for Life Scarf-making Session in the Fellowship Hall at 6:30 p.m.; Wednesday, June 13 - Board Meeting at 7:30 p.m.; and Thursday, June 14 - Women’s Salad Supper at 6:30 p.m. at the Baptist Church. A thank you is extended to the youth (Payton Gruber, Tucker Gruber, Laine Forrest, Payton Ness, and Brett Mason) for cleaning the tombstone of J. C. Fox and family and to the helpers, Erin Gruber and Vanessa Forrest.

Those celebrating a birthday this week are Tucker Gruber, Dean Johnson, and Kathie Bierly. The Elder’s Helping Hands for June are Alice Baker and Carroll Blackwell. The church may be contacted by calling (660) 327-4440 or e-mailing fc418@centurytel.net. Pastor Donna Scott may be reached at (660) 327-1355 or (314) 769-4362.

The thought for the week from Stephen Tyng, Jr. is: Teach the children to look at this world as a beautiful symbol of Jesus; everything Jesus, Christ; all, Christ, in all. So educate the imaginations of the children to receive, and their memories to retain and to use that Christian truth; and you yourself shall be lifted up, as on angel’s wings.

South Fork Presbyterian

Pastor John Grimmett

Sunday, June 3 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Rejoice-The Lord Is King”, “In the Garden”, “He Keeps Me Singing” and “Rejoice Ye Pure In Heart”.

Pastor John Grimmett led in prayer for Angie Koch; Arla Eisenhower; the Cearley’s; Mary Sue Mitchell; Karen Miller and Tonya; Gabby Sharp; Amanda Grimmett; the families of John Ross and Elsa Chipman.

Praises were for Ira and Shirley Thornhill on their move; Susie McGee starts building new house this week; and pray for revival of God’s will to be done and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she and Debbie sang “Great Is the Lord”.

The message “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” was based on scripture from Psalms 68:3, The Lord wants us to be happy-everyone has times of grief, but if we know the Lord there will be joy. We all place our happiness in human beings - Jesus wants His joy and blessings to be in us...Be happy and joyful in the Lord! Stop worrying about stuff! Trust in God! God is a God who loves us! We are saved by grace thru faith in Jesus Christ... He is our rock and our refuge during times of trouble. Only with Christ will you find true joy!

Communion was served by Earl Sweitzer and Max Tilt with Kaylee Beckham leading the offertory as Patti played “Alleluia” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “This Is the Day the Lord Has Made, I Will Rejoice and Be Glad In It” as all retired in fellowship.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are encouraged to attend to hear the word of the Lord.

“But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God; yea, let them exceedingly rejoice” Psalms 68:3

Mt. Airy Baptist Church

Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

On June 3, 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 the Mountianair’s will perform at Millers in Paris on June 4, at 7 p.m., volunteers needed for the Northeast MO Gospel Music & Fun Fest at the spillway at Mark Twain Lake on June 8, 9, 10, and volunteers for the Summer Feed a Child Program are needed. We will also collect food items for the Feed a Child Program.

This week’s message was titled “The Humble Savior” and came from Phil.2:5-11. Christians have the opportunity of an eternity; having the mind of Christ. This is the humble mind that considers others above self.

Jesus left the privileges of heaven to become mankind’s Savior. What privileges can we give up in order to live like Jesus? We all have the choice of being a fan: who knows about Jesus and agrees with Him but does nothing or being a follower of Jesus. A follower knows and does as the Master has done. To be like Jesus you must put others first.

Before Communion, Wesley Hammond explained our ordinances in the Baptist church (Baptism and The Lord’s Supper). During the Lord’s Supper we remember Christ’s body given for us and the blood shed for our transgressions. All baptized believers are welcome at the table. We remember our dedication to Christ.

Reverend Hammond’s message was from Romans 6:1-14, entitled “Weapons for Righteousness”. The book of Romans is written to the church in Rome from the apostle Paul. God’s people should reflect a living Lord because of Christ’s resurrection and we need to be willing to walk with Him in a new way as our lives are joined with Him. Verse 12 says, “Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.” Our bodies should be “instruments (weapons) of righteousness”, without being militant or accusatory toward others and remembering to be forgiving as we have been forgiven.

In preparation for the Lord’s Supper, Steve Ensor sang, “All Who Are Thirsty”. During the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, John Mitchell gave the prayer for the bread and Gale Wilkerson gave the prayer for the cup.

Kathy Miller played worshipful music, “At The Cross and “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus”. Cheryl Gholson directed the choir singing “I Will Never be the Same Again”, accompanied by Brenda Ensor.

John 3:1-17 was read by Amanda Johnson. “Being Baptized for the Kingdom” was about Jesus ministering to Nicodemus and being reborn of the Spirit.

Social from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. and a Car Show from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Through out the afternoon, there will be live entertainment on the main stage as well as tours of the railcar, The Indiana, The Railroad Museum and The Randolph County Historical Society.

The ever popular Sycamore Queen Contest is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. and promises to be as entertaining as always when local men take the stage in high heels and frills to raise money for their favorite group or charity.

Then the final act of the 2012 Railroad Days festival will take the stage and entertain the crowd with their music that has been enjoyed for fifty years. The band Plato and the Philosophers under the direction of Ken Tebow will celebrate their 50th anniversary. Members of the band will include Tebow, Steve VanCleve, Bruce Renfroe, David Byland and Mike Imbler.

According to Tebow, the band began in 1962 as the Checkmates Square and changed to Plato & The Philosophers in 1965. “While Dave Byland was not a member of the group in the 60’s, he had his own group called Doomsday Watermelon. It seemed like every time Plato needed a new member, we just took from Dave”, joked Tebow.

“First Barry, then Steve, Richie V, Lynn Del Durbin and Mark Valentine. Unfortunately, Barry O will be absent for this gig. He played 33 years”, Tebow added.

According to Tebow, their music is still on the internet and can be found by searching Ken Tebow, Plato &

The Philosophers, or 13 O’clock Flight To Psychedelphia. Compilation CD still available from Cicadelic Records & Music, Tucson, AZ. During the four day event, there will be additional vendors selling food and specialty items as well as information booths. For a vendor form and/or a complete schedule of events, visit the Moberly Area Chamber of Commerce website at www.moberlychamber.com For more information you may also call the Chamber office at 660-263-6070.

James Monroe Chapter DAR hears program on Patrick Henry The James Monroe Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution of Paris, Missouri met at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2012 in the Roegge Room of the Dulany Library in Paris for their regular meeting. Those present included Regent Lola Worley, Recording Secretary Annette Azdell, Registrar/Corresponding Secretary Jan Smiley Carter, Treasurer Dorothy Walser, Chaplain Carol Comstock, Parliamentarian Juanitta Turnbough, Emma Jo Raines, Sarah Crow, and guests Vera Seago and Linda Pugh. The opening rituals and singing of the Star Spangled Banner were led by Regent Worley with the help of Chaplain Comstock. Parliamentarian Turnbough read the President General’s monthly message. Recording Secretary Azdell presented the minutes of the April meeting and the treasury report was given by Treasurer Walser.

Dorothy Walser presented historical information about Patrick Henry and reminded the chapter that his 276th birthday would be

Linda Madison Pugh May 29th. She also presented information about the 300th anniversary of the War of 1812 this year and NSDAR’s hope that all citizens will ring bells on June 18th at noon.

The chapter will be working with the community to firm up that plan.

The chapter planned a trip to the VA Home in Mexico to present laprobes, quilts, and clothing protectors used at meals for Tuesday, May 29th. Jane Callis, chairman of the chapter’s National Flag Committee, will be collecting American

flags to be presented to the American Legion at the community Flag Day celebration on the Courthouse lawn. The flags will be donated to the Legion for official disposal. The chapter will present the annual event on Thursday, June 14 at 3 in the afternoon.

Linda Madison Pugh of Mexico, presented an informative program on Indian culture and pow wows. She also shared stories and pictures of her family that included her great grandfather who was a first cousin of Sitting Bull. Nu-pa-kinta was 8 years old at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He held the horses while the warriors fought.

Delicious refreshments were provided by Emma Jo Raines. The next meeting of the chapter will be June 21 at 5:30 p.m. Annette Azdell will provide refreshments.

The chapter continues to collect used printer ink cartridges, lap robes, and Campbell labels. The general public is invited to contribute and may give them to any James Monroe chapter member or bring by the Roegge Room at the meeting.

Teacher Barb Mason recognized... Continued from front Mrs. Mason’s class I would be missing out on so many skills for college and future jobs,” said Danielle Wheelan. “Mrs. Mason is a teacher that demands respect and in return is respected by all students.”

“Mrs. Mason is always pleasant, makes coursework easy to understand and is always ready to help you whenever needed,” said Bryce Ensor. “When you think of Mrs. Mason you think of a hard-working, dedicated woman that loves her job and the people she works with everyday.”

“Mrs. Mason puts so much effort and heart into everything she does for us students and for the school district,” said Nicole Burke. “She is always there to help when you are in need of support or to just ask a simple question.”

“I am extremely honored that my students and Mr. Smith nominated me for the WGEM Golden Apple Award,” said Mrs. Barbara Mason. “As I read the letters submitted on my behalf, I am humbled by the kind words expressed about my teaching. Although the greatest honor to me is the students’ comments about their experiences in the classroom on a relational basis. My number one goal as a teacher is that students would realize that I want to help them achieve their full potential. I hope students understand that I am not only concerned about helping

IN RE: Ronald W. Gough and Gail D. Gough, Husband and Wife Trustee’s Sale: For default in payment of debt and performance of obligation secured by Deed of Trust executed by Ronald W. Gough and Gail D. Gough, Husband and Wife dated March 12, 2008 and reSponsored by

Dulaney Memorial Library Work on the Dulany Memorial Library started March 10, 1914 and was completed in 1915 – named in memory of William H. and Susan VanZandt Dulany. The building is still located at the original location (corner of Main and Locust streets across from the Paris First Baptist Church). It is probably better known by its less formal name – Paris Public Library.

If you haven’t visited the Paris Public Library recently, you will be impressed with the amount of services offered. When was the last time you checked out a book to read? Did you know that it is free to own a library card? Book types offered for checking out include non-fiction, fiction, magazines, and multiple copies of new best sellers as they come out. The non-fiction categories are endless. They have everything from medical to travel to craft. There are how-tos, history books, biographies, and more. Through a recent grant, a series of health literacy books are now on the shelf. Subjects in this set include edible herbs, baby care, home remedies, women’s health and exercise, just to list a few. Racks of paperback books are available as a trade-a-book offering. You bring in a book and take one with you. You don’t need to even own a library card for this service. If you don’t find the title you are looking for here at the Paris Library, books are also readily available from the Moberly library (deliveries twice a week) or on inter-library loan from libraries in Columbia and around the state.

The library keeps a wide variety of magazines. All back issues up to 2011 and up to the current month of 2012 are available.

View the newest issues at the library. All others can be checked out.

You can stay current with all the news around the state with the current and past issues of five newspapers. These include the Mexico Ledger, the St. Louis Post, the Moberly Monitor-Index, The Lake Gazette, and the Monroe County Appeal. Free brochures and booklets are also stocked on a variety of topics. For your traveling pleasure or to listen to around the house, several audio books on CD can be checked out. Movies on DVD and some VHS versions are also available to check out. During the year, after school movies are scheduled at various times monthly.

The Paris Library offers access to 7 computers with wireless internet. These are available to use at no charge for resident library card owners or visiting guest passes. The computers are used frequently for Facebook, games, e-mail and offer open access to most sites. The library also has 2 literacy computers that are specifically geared for children ages preschool-7yrs. And one literacy laptop for children ages 6-12.

The genealogy room lends access to the Monroe County Appeal on microfilm, dating back to the early 1900’s. The old Paris Mercury and Madison Times newspaper issues are also available to view. There are some cemetery records and other genealogy resources.

Outreach services are offered once a month. Patty delivers requested subjects and titles to Monroe Manor, Senior Citizens, and the home-bound. If you know of anyone who wishes to be added to the list, please contact the library.

Kids of all ages can enjoy Play Station 2 games in the gaming section. The library has plans to also add a Wii to this entertainment area. The “Dream Big – Read” summer reading program is now in full swing. All boys and girls are invited to come to the library for stories, songs, crafts, prizes, and much more! Preschool story time (ages 3-K) is at 10 a.m., on Wednesdays and school age Kaleidoscope (K-5) meets at 11 a.m., on Wednesdays.
