Sheriff’s Department ready to register off road vehicles With the passage of the revised city ordinance regarding recreational vehicles, all terrain vehicles and golf carts on Tuesday, Aug. 7, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department is now ready to begin inspecting golf carts, all terrain vehicles and recreational off road vehicles as per the ordinance.

“All golf carts, all terrain vehicles and off road recreational vehicles using the Paris city streets need to be inspected and registered at the Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff David Hoffman. “Residents needing to have their vehicle registered can drop by anytime right now.”

Sheriff Hoffman reminds residents that to register their off road recreational vehicle, all terrain vehicle or golf cart for the city streets they will need to bring their

driver’s license, proof of insurance and the vehicle to be inspected for the necessary orange flag, seat belts and lights including head and tail.

Sheriff Hoffman noted that the registration period will be from September until September each year.

“This is totally a safety issue,”said City Superintendent Phillip Shatzer in an earlier meeting.

According to Sheriff Hoffman vehicles will be given a “grace period” when the sheriff deputies will issue warnings rather than tickets but this period will run out at some point and tickets will be issued to those in violation of the city ordinance.

For further information contact the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department at 660327-4060.

Burn bans lifted for Paris area and Mark Twain Lake

Paris Rural Fire District Chief Steve Jones has rescinded the burn ban that has been in place for most of July and August.

Chief Jones noted that with the recent rain the ground is sufficiently moist to allow the burn ban to have run its course.

“However, if hot and humid conditions continue to occur without any additional moisture the burn ban can be reinstated as necessary,” said Chief Jones.

Also, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake has lifted the burn ban that had been in effect since July 2.

A few showers have provided at least a brief reprieve, although Park Rangers are

still cautioning visitors to never leave fires or grills unattended.

Other safety tips include keeping campfires and charcoal inside grills and fire rings, keeping a bucket of water close by and keeping fires small. This year’s extremely dry conditions elevate the risk of fires from unattended campfires, charcoal grills or large campfires.

It just takes a small spark, which can escape into grass or nearby brush, to rapidly spread due to dry, breezy weather conditions. Vegetation is dry enough that it will burn even if green, so please do not leave campfires or charcoal grills unattended.

To most people a power outage is not really a big deal beyond being a minor inconvenience. To Kyle Smith it can be a life and death situation.

Smith lives in Madison and experienced a power outage last winter that lasted three days. Smith who is paralyzed from the chest down, due a traffic accident 24 years ago, knows that a power outage means his support medical equipment could not function.

“I spend up to 20 hours a day in an air bed that is power driven,” said Smith.

“This helps prevent any skin breakdown.

With no power my bed and other medical equipment does not function.”

For a patient in a wheelchair or bedridden skin care is extremely important. Smith’s airbed helps keep him from having pressure points placed upon on his body during his time spent in bed hence less chance for skin breakdown. With no power – no airbed.

Smith was a consumer of N.E.I.L.S. (NorthEast Independent Living Services), and he approached the organization about the possibility of acquiring a whole-house generator system.

According to Gene Suddarth, the organizations Independent Living Advocate,

NEILS initiated the request using their Assistive Technologies Program.

Suddarth knew that NEILS alone could not fulfill Smith’s request and the group started thinking outside the box.

Suddarth explained that the final process involved getting grant applications from their contacts at national organizations outside of Missouri.

After Smith filled out his required part of the applications and provided his medical information the process moved forward.

“At that point in the process, we added a cover letter unique to each application,” said Suddarth. “The application, information, plus the cover letter, were placed into packets and sent to the organizations partnering in this project. It was then that NEILS had to coordinate the process between organizations to make this project a reality.”

Suddarth also explained that NEILS was proud to have collaborated in a partnership for acquiring the generation system with the Bryon Riesch Foundation, of Waukesha, Wis.; The Travis Roy Foundation, of Boston, Mass.; and the Friends of Man Foundation, of Littleton, Colo. Each organization contributed to the funding of the project with the approval of their Board of

Directors.

The focus of the project for NEILS and the other organizations involved was to get Smith his generator, while sharing in the cost of the project, which came to a total of $13,250.00. This bid came from Midway Electric, of Columbia, which was involved in the installation of the unit.

Smith explained that his only cost in the project came from running a natural gas line to the generator once it had been installed.

“I am so grateful to everyone who helped me to get this generator,” said Smith. “I can never express enough thanks for what was done for me. I have never had service like this before.”

“This is such a big relief and a worry off my shoulders,” added Smith.

Brian Smith (no relation), of Midway Electric, explained that he had recommended a larger generator for Smith to allow him to have all his equipment working rather than a smaller unit, which would have required him to turn off breakers to various equipment when using others.

“He needed a generator that would work for all his needs,” said Smith.

The larger unit was purchased by the coContinued to page 7

of three new mobile Internet cell sites in Madison, Paris and Stoutsville that will enhance coverage for area residents and businesses. With mobile Internet speeds, AT&T customers can surf the Web, download files faster, and enjoy the very latest interactive mobile applications.

At a recent Paris Rotary Club meeting, AT&T Regional Director for External Affairs Craig Felzien noted that the new cell sites are one part of AT&T’s ongoing efforts to drive investment and innovation to deliver the nation’s best, most advanced mobile Internet experience for customers.

AT&T has the nation’s largest 4G network, which provides accelerated mobile data speeds and simultaneous voice and data capabilities.

“The wireless industry is an integral part of life,” said Felzien. “Between 40-50 percent of Missourians have disconnected their landlines.”

“Our customers demand the best, most advanced mobile Internet-experience. To meet their demands, AT&T has made an ongoing commitment to investment and innovation in Missouri,” said Felzien, “Missouri lawmakers, such as Senator Brian Munzlinger, continue to make Missouri

a great place to invest. This announcement highlights the fact that, aided by the great work of the legislature, Missouri has become an excellent investment story for AT&T.” “Your community is a great place to grow businesses,” said Felzien to the Rotarians.

“We are excited to be able to invest in smaller communities. Wireless is now a big player in the economic development program. I know we have gotten off to a slow start but we will be going forward.”

AT&T invested more than $2.3 billion in its wireline and wireless networks in Missouri from 2008 through 2011.

Investing in expanded mobile Internet access creates jobs and fuels innovation and entrepreneurship,” said Senator BMunzlinger. “We’ve worked in the legislature to create an environment that encourages this type of investment, and I am very pleased to see AT&T bringing Continued to page 7

APPEAL

Todd Akin - A Second Look

In the Appeal of August 23 I wrote rather dismissively of Representative Todd Akin.

This was on the assumption that his then week old comments and the pressure from fellow Republicans including the threat to cut off all major party and other funding if he continued to run, would soon cause Akin to withdraw from the Missouri race for U.S. Senator.

As I write this Mr. Akin has stood firm in his right and will to remain in the running despite the continuing and unrelenting pressure to withdraw as the final deadline to do so draws nearer each day.

In my prior column and still I think that the national image of Todd Akin and by implication of all of Missouri residents is as ignorant and ill informed.

Mr. Akin should be recognized for some positive things, not the least of which was winning a contested and expensive Republican primary race without resorting to negative ads about his opponents. I am likewise impressed by Akin’s refusal to exit the race just because the Republican big wigs think that the replacement they choose would stand a better chance against incumbent, Senator Claire McCaskill.

Also Mr. Akin apologized for remarks that we believed were true, no matter how for off the mark they were factually. He did not attempt to mislead anyone by his comments.

If the very same or similar remarks were made by say Marco Rubio, in his senatorial race in Florida or Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana, in his race there you can be very sure that these up and coming young Republicans would not be asked to resign from their position or drop out of their respective races in favor of some yet to be named untarnished candidate.

Consider also that the very same high ranking party leaders don’t mind repeating the falsehoods that the 700 billion plus that they accuse President Obama of taking from Medicaid over ten years when they know it is a savings to Medicaid in payments to providers and will not reduce services. Nor do the same Republicans that want Akin to quit are still claiming that President Obama unilaterally removed the work requirement for welfare recipients, including Jim Talent recently in a Post Dispatch article, when they and he know that various states requested and got exemptions from the work requirement for their own reasons. Comparing a statement of mistaken belief with repeated known false statements make Todd Akin look much better all the time.

Announcement that the great paramount picture, “The Jucklins,” is to be presented at the Opera House in Paris Friday and Saturday nights has caused a lot of enthusiasm among those who have laughed, wept, and thrilled over Opie Reid’s great look. Those who have children are planning for them to see the picture in which an all – star cast about a score strong will appear. The story deals with a boy who left home because his father didn’t believe he would amount to shucks. His struggles and successes will be an inspiration to the children and a source of pleasure to older folks.

An 850 pound Chester White Hog from I. L. Rudasill’s nationally famous drove in the Molino vicinity almost wrecked a tavern and itself too, in a wild party it staged while returning from the Illinois State Fair Monday. This hog had won championship honors over a large number of competitors. Soon after being loaded into the Rudasill truck for the return trip an end gate came loose and the huge porker fell out.

Evidently pretty mad about being a party to such an accident, the hog rushed up to a nearby tavern, crashed through a screen door, overturned and bruised the tavern keeper’s wife, then tore through a glass door and ran squealing into the street. It was so badly injured that it could not be moved that night.

Just a Thought

How Is Our Foundation?

Last weekend my husband and I went to visit some friends.

They live in a beautiful small town that has a lot of the older Victorian style homes (their home included). I was so excited to take my walk the next morning after getting there because I was anxious about getting to look at all the different homes. As I was walking the next morning I noticed how the homes were various sizes, colors, textures, and designs but they all had one similarity threading them together. They were all older homes that had been around for many years and had solid strong foundations.

This got me thinking about how these homes were like our families, our churches, our communities and America today.

Most of our families, churches and communities were founded on God just like our country was founded on God. He was our strong solid foundation that we could build upon. The owners of these older homes took the time and energy to restore those things that needed restoring without dstroying the foundation. The people who have walked before us in our families, our churches and our communities also took their time and energy to make needed changes but did not get rid of the foundation.

The owners of these older homes did not destroy all of the work that was done by the previous owners. Maybe they kept the wood work because even though it was old it was still in good condition and served its purpose. They might have been fascinated with the intricate handi work and admired the amount of time they could tell someone before them put into it so they kept it the same. They felt there was no need of changing a good thing. They knew that some things are better kept the same.

Yes, there might have been some things that needed updating like the carpet or maybe the wall paper was out of style.

New windows might have been needed or color schemes changed but again the most important thing stayed the samethe foundation.

The owners of these older homes merged their ideas and visions with the ideas and visions of the previous owners,

all the while keeping the important things the same structure and foundation. Can we say the same about our families, our churches, our communities and America?

Have we instead of building upon our strong foundation (God) got rid of the old foundation all together? Have we built new homes with foundations that are made up of the ever changing beliefs and principles of this world? Have we let all the hard work, good teachings, and values of the ones who have walked before us lay by the way side?

Change is inevitable and can be a good thing. Most of us would not want to go back to days of outhouses instead of inside flushable toilets or having to wash our clothes on a wash board by hand instead of having washers. People before us have invented and created new things that make our lives easier. But there are some things that were taught or handed down from previous generations that do not need to change like using our manners or being respectful to everyone especially our elders. We would never have thought about saying a curse word around our parents. (at least not out loud) Now we see children being allowed to cuss out their parents and school teachers. Where has the respect gone? When we were young the child was not in charge but the parents were. Growing up our parents wanted us to wait until we got married before being intimate with someone but now some parents have no expectations and we have parents putting their children on birth control while they are still in high school and sometimes even younger than that.

We know that the previous generations were not perfect and they made their share of mistakes but they did keep God as their foundation so even if they got off track God was still in control. God knows we are going to mess up sometimes and go in the wrong direction but if we take the time and energy into putting our relationship with Him first, things will always work out.

Hopefully we have seen the negative effects of taking God out of our lives, churches, schools and communities.

Hopefully we will go back to our strong, solid foundation and start building upon it things that will prosper and give life. And through that our lives and our childrens’ lives and their children’s lives will be enriched and blessed.

MFA Oil holds annual meeting at Osage Beach MFA Oil Company recently held its 83rd annual meeting at Tan-TarA Resort, Osage Beach, with more than 600 delegates, guests and employees in attendance to approve a record distribution of savings and conduct elections for its board of directors.

Benny Farrell, MFA Oil’s chairman of the board, announced the company will return cash payments of approximately $12.8 million to its members this year. This is the largest payout in company history.

President Jerry Taylor outlined the company’s fiscal and operating performance for the past year, noting how the mild winter of 201112 impacted volume, especially in propane. “With normal temperatures, we would have had record volume, above 300 million gallons,” he told the delegates. Still, the company enjoyed near-record performance, a fact reflected in its returns to members, he said.

Guest speakers included Terry Barr, a senior director of CoBank who presented a detailed economic forecast related to drought, debt and politics, and Jim Loving, senior vice-president of Refining, Pipelines and Terminals for CHS and the president of National Cooperative Refinery Association, who gave an update on changes in the refinery’s ownership and operations structure. MFA Oil Biomass Director Jared Wilmes spoke on progress in the company’s developing Miscanthus-based pelletized fuel markets. Entertainment was presented by The Cleverlys, a family bluegrass band.

mature birth rate. It will also take steps to build a wider awareness of Missouri’s prematurity rates and other maternal-child health indicators.

“We know how important it is for Missouri’s children to have the advantage of the healthiest start possible in life,” said Director Margaret Donnelly. “That is why we are so supportive of programs and policies that can reduce premature births and infant mortality rates.”

This commitment is part of an ongoing effort by the State of Missouri to promote healthy mothers and children. In 2011, Gov. Jay Nixon signed House Bill 555 which created the Missouri Task Force on Prematurity and Infant Mortality. This task force is seeking evidence-based and costeffective approaches to reducing Missouri’s preterm birth and infant mortality rates.

Together, these initiatives underscore Missouri’s ongoing commitment to reduce the rate of premature births and infant mortality in Missouri.

They are also bringing in preying mantises, spiders, crickets, frogs and more to put in the terrarium.

They seem to like this part of the science museum best! It is excit-

ing to watch the students pull out the magnifying glass and peer into the terrarium to see what they can discover. The food chain is in full swing in the 5th grade classroom!

Pastor David Holmes

Church NEWS

South Fork Presbyterian

Pastor John Grimmett

The congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered on Sunday, Sept. 2 and gave grateful thanks to our gracious Lord for the wonderful rainfall. Special visitors, Norma Garnett and her daughter, Debbi, were welcomed. Reverend Holmes then welcomed everyone in attendance following the prelude by Jane Akers, organist. A thank you note from the Holliday teachers and administration for the church’s donation and backto-school breakfast was shared.

Announcements included: Board meeting will be held following services on Sunday, Sept. 9 and the fish fry is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept.

12. Forms will be made available for purchase of the birthday calendar being coordinated by Madison Lions.

The opening hymn, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name”, was sung and was followed by prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

Happy birthday was sung to: Jean Wilson, Angela Elsbury, Ronnie Wilson, Ariyah Baker, Phillip Wilkerson and Jan Forsee. Happy 45th anniversary wishes were for Jim and Joyce Sheerman. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Pete Olney, Opal Johnston, Gloretta Hendricks, Barbara Ensor, Larry Jones, Jim McMorris’ brother and family who are traveling and to the victims of Hurricane Isaac.

Singing of the prayer hymn, “I Must Tell Jesus” was followed by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

“O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Sandy Callison and Carole Roberts went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Deaconesses were Sally Blakemore and Diane Wilson.

An offertory prayer and doxology closed the communion portion of the service.

“God Loves Us Personally” was the title of Reverend Holmes’ morning message. Scripture from Song of Songs (Solomon) Chapter 2:8-13 was the scripture reference. The closing hymn, “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us”, was sung. A closing prayer and singing of the “Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Jim McMorris led the group in prayer and continued study of the Book of Matthew.

The Sunday, Sept. 2 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “We Shall Behold Him” followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading the Responsive Call to Worship, the Unison Prayer, singing “Praise Him! Praise Him!”; “In the Garden”; “He Lives” and “Christ Arose”.

Prayer was for Sharon Sweitzer: Angie; James Booth; John Bergthold; Tilt family; Tonya Miller; coastal line families; and Laura Garner family; praises for Bill Cearley; Gabby Sharp; Jere Nelson’s new great granddaughter Jenna; and thankful for the rain, followed with all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar and sang “Our God Reigns”.

The message “On the Way to a Beach Bar-B-Que” was based on scripture from Luke 24:15-50 and John: “We need to think about who we are each and everyday...not just on Sunday”. The Lord’s Supper; breaking bread; the Eucharist; thanksgiving are all a remembrance of Christ’s death, suffering and Resurrection... the victory of Jesus’ life over death HE LIVES - HE IS ALIVE...lets celebrate the Resurrection! In Christ we are all one...we must reunite and connect with one another. Thank Jesus every time you “break bread” Celebrate the wonderful feast of life - the promise of His return...

Earl Sweitzer and Maxine Adams led the Communion with Max Tilt leading the Offertory as Patti played “I’ve Just Seen Jesus” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Because He Lives” as all retired in fellowship.

“And were continually in the temple praising and blessing God” Amen.

Luke 24:53

Santa Fe Christian Church

Pastor Kenny Sharp

“God Fights For His” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon.

Scripture text was taken from 1 Kings 18:15-40 and Exodus 17:8-13.

God will always fight our battles for us if we remember these three points 1) Recognize God and His holiness 2) Call out His name and acknowledge the God He is and 3) Praise Him all the way through our warfare.

Jesus will come back someday on a white horse to take out the enemy.

Are you going to let Jesus be your “Front Line”? Serving at the Lord’s Table were Wayne Conley, Don Wilkerson, Bill Miller, Dennis Kendrick, Charlie Horstmeier and David Kendrick.

Dawn Peak gave the children’s sermon comparing the Bible to a cell phone. How often do you leave the house without your cell phone and then go back to pick it up? Do you do that if you leave your Bible at home? We see people walking around the store talking on the cell phone, but do you see anyone walking around reading out of the Bible? We pay our cell phone bills, but Jesus paid for our sins on the cross. Joni Sharp assisted by Becca Spires taught the children’s ministry.

Prayers were requested for James A and Valena Booth, Luke Olivas, Richard Bell, Earl Grove, Paris school faculty and students, hurricane victims, Festival of Sharing mission work and Destiny Wheeler. Praises were for John Bergthold being home, Frances Thomas feeling better, Dana Christensen returning to work, Joyce & Charlie Horstmeier’s daughter, Jennifer, good health news, Gabby Sharp cancer free, and Makenzie Baker musical audition. Traveling mercies were for Gareth Thomas while hiking in the Appalachians. Happy birthday was sung to Emily Conley. David Kendrick thanked everyone for donating items to the Haitian mission.

John Mitchell gave the children’s sermon. The Bible tells us that we should not bear false witness. That means that we should not “lie”. We should always tell the truth. Sometimes we tell something that is untrue because we think we will get in trouble, but the opposite is usually true.

We can be forgiven by God and our parents.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Colossians 2:1-7, “Life Together: Joined Together In Love”. Paul teaches us that genuine knowledge comes from belief in God and in Christ, his son. Verse 3 tells us all treasures of knowledge and wisdom are in Christ. God wants to be with us in good and bad times. In a spiritual, living union with Christ, He builds us up and strengthens us to build an amazing structure within us.

When we unite with other believers in heart and love we become stronger. In this way we are strengthened to reach out to others.

Full Gospel Fellowship

Pastor Terry Davison

“Who are you?” is the question we asked this week, in follow-up to last weeks question, “Who am I?” As time passes, everyone changes: whether by design or by caveat. Some folks mellow, some folks harden. Of primary concern should be the degree to which we WANT to change, and institute corrective change in ourselves, rather than the degree to which we allow the world around us to change us unawares. Scripture tells us in Philippians 2, verses three and four, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, rather in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.”

Many times we are wont to impact the lives of others around us, while often wondering why they won’t listen or learn as we speak to them. We may think, “But I’ve got it all figured out...why won’t anyone listen to me?” We simply cannot understand why they don’t just pack up and follow along with us.

But a couple of simple truths must be understood before we can successfully improve the lives of those around us: one of which is in making sure that we have sufficiently changed ourselves before moving on to the lives of others. You know the passage of Scripture that speaks or removing the log from our own eye before tackling the splinter in someone else’s eye. Another truth reveals itself in knowledge: we know that we work hard to improve our own lives, spending much time disciplining ourselves to lose weight, to stop a bad habit, and so on...we must realize that our friends must first become convicted in their own hearts of the need for change before there will be any resultant action on their part.

Surely if we continue to live and to present honest Biblical Truths in our lives, letting Christ shine through us rather than trying to light the world ourselves, we will have a positive impact.

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” This was a message of the Perry Christian Church worship service of Sunday, Sept. 2. The Johnson family were greeters. “Living For Jesus” was sung by Arlen Provancha to begin the hour.

Pastor Todd welcomed everyone and gave the Call to Worship. There will not be bible study or church board meeting this week, but the FTWJ will meet tonight. The choir will assemble again and Arlen extended an invitation to any who wanted to “sit in the soft seats” to join them.

“All in All” was sung in praise. We were happy that Gene Schlueter and John Asbury could be with us, both of whom have been on our prayer list.

“I Am Praying for You” was the prayer hymn. Our concerns continue for Gene Cooper. Reports from Harlan Murray, Gabby Sharp and Lois Friday were good. Our sympathy is with the families of Laura Garner and Barbara Potter. “Hear Our Prayer O Lord” was the response.

Meditation preceded the Lord’s Supper observance. “Blessed Redeemer” was sung.

Serving as elders were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow. Warren Hetrick, Carol Norman and Tom Hurley were deacons.

“How Great Thou Art” was the special presented by Cheri and Arlen.

Jeannie Gay, assisted by the children, gave a lesson on flag etiquette and all gave the Pledge of Allegiance.

Carol Norman read Mark 7:1-8, 14-15 for pastor’s sermon “Our Labor is a Reflection of the Heart”. Consider the gifts and abilities given us.

God has a place in our lives every day of the week.

The invitation hymn, “Just As I Am” was sung before the benediction, closing with “Blessed Be the Tie That Binds”.

“It was a lot of work but well worth the effort to make it happen,” said Suddarth. “The project began in January and the unit was installed in August.”

Smith believes miracles can happen and as witnessed by the partnership of agencies thousands of miles apart - things can be accomplished by the cooperation of others.

NorthEast Independent Living Services (NEILS) was incorporated on August 2, 1994. NEILS

began as a group of people with diverse physical disabilities who started a grassroots effort to educate the broader community about disability related issues in North East Missouri.

In February 1996, NEILS received funding and opened it’s doors for services. We now offer a full range of program and services for individuals with disabilities and any family members, employers, co-workers, and the general public with disability related questions and concerns.

“Pre Kindergarten grade students Madison Wheaton, Justin Rowe and Aubrey Youse were nominated by their teacher for being kind, responsible citizens, and positive role models for their peers. They are from Mrs. Parn and Mrs. Peterson’s P-K class. Elementary Principal Wendy Wood, the Paris Elementary Faculty and Staff, and their school peers congratulate Madison, Justin and Aubrey for being Paris Elementary STARS!!”

Jacquie Stuart honored by election into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame Making the best better for generations of Missouri 4-H members, 53 4-H luminaries joined the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame, Saturday, Aug. 18, at the State Fair Community College campus in Sedalia.

Inductees from 43 counties established a legacy totaling 1,625 years of service to 4-H. Family members and friends attended the sixth annual event.

“This celebration acknowledges the contributions of distinguished 4-H leaders—past and present,” said Missouri 4-H Foundation Chair Nelda Godfrey.

The Missouri 4-H Foundation recognizes individuals who have created a legacy of service to 4-H by honoring them with membership in the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.

“These leaders have made exceptional contributions to the lives of Missouri 4-H members,” said Missouri 4-H Foundation Executive Director Cheryl Reams.

It was noted that the late Jacquie Stuart was involved with Monroe County 4-H for 25 years, as a 4-H parent, Project Leader, Club Leader, 4-H Council Member and Officer, and member of the Monroe County Extension Council and Monroe County Fair Board.

As the county 4-H Youth Education Assistant for 15 years, Jacquie channeled Monroe County youth through projects, contests, and regional, state and national awards.

Jacquie’s significant contribution to 4-H was that she made the effort to get to know every child, make them feel welcome, and challenge them to excel.

Jacquie grew a 4-H camp program that was so popular, it was filled to capacity with a waiting list. Everyone knew Jacquie and Jacquie knew everyone. She was many things to so many people, but most of all, Jacquie was a friend who mentored hundreds of parents and youth throughout her years of involvement with the Monroe County 4-H program.

Local 2012 inductees included: The late Jacquie Stuart, Monroe Ruth Calcaterra, Ralls.

Individuals who have created exceptional legacies of service and dedication to 4-H are recognized and honored with membership in the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.

The induction ceremony is held annually at the Missouri State Fair.

Each inductee (or their surviving family members, if awarded posthumously) is recognized and presented with a plaque.

The second class will be on Friday, Oct. 12 (5 to 9 p.m.) and Saturday, Oct. 13 (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.), also at the M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center location.

Included in the training will be gun safety, firearm and ammunition information, the role of the hunter, wildlife management, ethics and hunter preparedness. Those successfully completing the course will receive a Missouri Conservation Heritage Card from the Missouri Department of Conservation.

This certification is mandatory for anyone born on or after January 1 1967, wishing to hunt turkey or deer or anyone participating in

twenty.

On Saturday, the hunter education class will end at approximately 3:00 p.m. Shortly following the classroom portion of the class, a voluntary shooting exercise will be conducted at the shooting range for participants of the Hunter Education class. Students wanting to participate with the shooting exercise must successfully complete the class, and arrange for their own transportation from the M.W. Boudreaux Memorial Visitor Center to the Shooting Range located nearby in the Warren G. See South Spillway. No transportation will be provided. The Missouri Department of Conservation will provide firearms and ammunition.

Class registration must be made on-line at the Missouri Department of Conservation web site: www.mdc.mo.gov . When at the site, click on “Hunter/ Bowhunter Education under the “Regs and Areas” section. Then click “Find a Hunter Ed Class” under the Hunter Education and Safety section.

Then choose “Missouri Hunter Education Classroom Course”, view the upcoming events option and register with the corresponding date of the class of your choice.

Hunter education training is a form of life insurance. This type of training decreases the chance of being injured in a hunting-related accident as it serves to educate those who will take to the woods. If you have questions please contact the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at 20642 Highway J, Monroe City, Missouri 63456 or by telephone at (573)735-4097.

What you don’t know about money can hurt you. If you don’t know how to create a budget, fix a poor credit rating or invest in a 401(k) plan, you’re missing out on opportunities that improve your odds for financial stability and success.

Financial literacy—an understanding of credit, banking, savings and more—offers you the tools and information you need to improve your financial health and wellbeing. Here are just a few of the things that’ll be easier once you have it: Establishing a budget. If you don’t know where all your money goes each month, you’re not alone. Find out how to create a budget and stick to it. It’s a fundamental step in money management.

Managing debt. Carrying some debt is normal, but too much debt can overwhelm your budget. Learn how to address your most expensive debt areas, particularly paying off high-interest credit cards.

Find out how to save for a down payment, obtain financing and understand the details of a mortgage so you can make the best decision about this major investment. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offers information for potential buyers on its site.

Saving money. Whether you’re 16 or 60, knowing the best ways to save money will help you achieve your goals. Learn about basic savings accounts, retirement accounts, and how to make compounding interest work for you. Start with basic banking tips from CNNMoney’s Money 101 series.

Getting a loan. Whether you’re going back to school, buying a car or remodeling a room, you might need to take out a loan.

How much can you really afford to borrow? Learn how your credit report has an impact on the availability and cost of a loan, and how to fit loan payments into your budget.

Planning for emergencies. We’ve all been faced with expenses that can’t be put off―the car needs anew transmission or the plumbing needs more extensive work than you were expecting.

Slater Stone runs the Coyotes into the scoring column with a rushing touchdown The Paris R-II Varsity Coyotes literally played in a downpour when traveling to Hallsville (2-0) on Friday, Aug. 31.

The Class I Coyotes (0-2) playing up to a Class II opponent fell 42-6 in the contest in a game that was played in a driving rain with players hydroplaning for yards after a carry or tackle.

The Coyotes played with a reduced roster due to assorted reasons fought Hallsville tough but could not match their numbers or execution.

Slater Stone provided the highlight of the contest when he rushed around the left side for a 39-yard run setting up his next carry for the first Coyote score of the year.

Hallsville had a big first half running up a 22 point first quarter and a 20 point second period. The Indians did not score in the second half and Paris added their fourth quarter Stone score.

With the driving rain and wind causing havoc in the passing game Paris attempted only a single pass that fell incomplete. They had 64 yards on the ground with Stone accounting for the majority of the yardage with seven carries for 57 yards including his touchdown.

Stone did the majority of his rushing behind his offense line including August Hayhurst, John DeOrnellis, Kole Berry, Shawn Basnett, tight end Trae Hammond and Dylan Langerud.

On the defensive side of the ball,

sophomore Slater Stone led the team in take downs from his linebacker position with eight tackles.

Zac Baladenski was right behind Stone in tackles including one for a loss while Shawn Basnett had a fumble recovery late in the game for his Coyotes. Stone leads the team in tackles for the season tied with freshman Laine Forrest.

Overall, Steven Hayhurst leads the team in rushing, Zane Vaughn leads the team in receiving and of course Hayhurst leads the team in passing. Defensively, Stone and Forrest lead the team in tackles with Baladenski and Kole Berry a close second.

“We did not handle the rain very well, and we turned the ball over

too many times,” said Coyote Head Coach Gary Crusha. “We never got our offense going, we we’re dominated up front on both sides of the ball. Hallsville is a good football team and they executed very well.

We just have to lick our wounds and keep plugging away and get ready for this week against North Shelby.”

Statistics Scoring: Slater Stone 9-yard touchdown run.

Rushing: Steven Hayhurst 20 carries for 12 yards; Laine Forrest 5/-3, Slater Stone 7/57, Zac Baladenski 7/2.

Defensive Statistics Tackles: Forrest 3, Trae Hammond 3, Austin Wilkerson 2, Stone

8, Baladenski 6 (1 for a loss), Austin Coffman 1, Briar Hancock 2, August Hayhurst 4, John DeOrnellis 3 (1 for a loss), Kole Berry 5, Shawn Basnett 1, Seth Duncan 2, Zach Baker 1.

Fumble recovery: Basnett 1.

With the touchdown and facing an opponent in a higher class the Coyotes, even though they have two losses stands fourth in the district with 22 points. South Shelby (2-0) leads the district with 58 points; Westran (2-0) is in second place with 48 points; and Schuyler County (2-0) in third place with 42 points.

The Coyotes travel to North Shelby on Friday, Sept. 7, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

The Lady Coyotes feasted on North Shelby pitching pounding out 15 hits while scoring their 13 runs.

Kayla Langerud picked up the win giving up 3 runs on 5 hits while striking out 6 and walking 4.

Paris scored three runs in the first inning with Jill Nobis bunting her way on, stealing second, advancing to third on a Payton Gruber single, stole home to score and Gruber scored on a Langerud triple to the gap. Langerud scored on A Sirena Bell infield hit. Haley Fredrick and Lauren Embree also singled in the inning. North Shelby closed the gap with a single run in the second.

Paris added a single run in the third that proved to be the winning run when Sirena Bell singled and then stole her way around the bases including a steal of home.

North Shelby added two runs in the fourth but Paris rallied for a five spot in the fourth to seal their win. Josie Ball reached on an error, Gruber walked, Langerud singled home Ball, Fredrick ripped a single and scored Gruber, Embree rapped

a base hit to scoring Langerud and Fredrick who had moved up on stolen bases and Dede Bounds ended the scoring in the inning with a base knock scoring Embree.

In the fifth inning Paris again scored two more runs when Langerud reached on a fielder’s choice, Bell singled and Fredrick ripped a drive through the hole to plate both Langerud and Bell.

Paris added two more runs in the sixth to end the contest early on the 10 run rule when Bounds walked, Sydnee Player ripped a single and Danielle Wheelan ripped a hit to score both runners and the final 13-3 score.

The Lady Coyotes defeated Slater on Tuesday, Sept. 4 11-1 and will travel to Salisbury on Thursday, Sept. 6. The Lady Coyotes will participate in the North Shelby Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 8.

Purdy, Dunkin, Stoebe all go deep for Madison The Madison Lady Panthers defeated Atlanta 11-6 but fell to Brunswick in a hit fest 13-8.

Atlanta Angela Purdy pitched seven strong innings surrendering only 6 hits while striking out 13 Atlanta batters and walking only 2 in the Lady Panthers 11-6 final.

Offensively, Jessica Stoebe came a home run away from a cycle as she pounded out a single, double and triple and scored 3 runs. Purdy helped her own cause with a towering home run that accounted for 3 runs while adding another RBI on a single. Allie Dunkin added an RBI as did Breanna Hancock.

Scoring runs were Stoebe 3, Samantha LeGrand 2, Purdy 2, Dunkin 1, Hancock 1.

RBI’s – Purdy 4, Dunkin 1, Hancock 1.

“I was really happy with the way our girls competed,” said Coach Bryant Jones. “Things started out rough for us. We gave away three runs in the first inning to put ourselves in a whole right off the bat.

We did a good job of not letting that get to us and were able to put some runs up and get back into the game. We had great pitching and timely hitting on offense, which allowed us to get back in the game and hold the lead when we got it.

We still need to improve on defense. If we can get to where we can make routine plays and take

care of the softball we’ll have a chance to win some games.”

Brunswick With Jessica Stoebe and Allie Dunkin going deep the Lady Panthers stayed with Brunswick but found themselves on the wrong end of the 13-8 final score.

Madison found themselves trailing 6-0 heading into the fourth when they plated four runs to get back into the game. Hannah Grimsley led off with an infield hit, Breanna Hancock walked, Stoebe ripped a single and scored Grimsley, Samantha LeGrand reached on an error scoring Hancock, and Purdy ripped a two run single for the four runs.

Dunkin hit her long ball in the single run sixth and Stoebe added a two run bomb in the seventh. Also to round out the scoring LeGrand doubled and scored on a Purdy hit.

“I was happy with how we handled the bats,” said Coach Bryant Jones. “We were able to get 8 hits and score 8 runs on a good pitcher.

We also had several line drives they made good plays on. Unfortunately, we’re still giving up too many extra base hits and unearned runs on defense.”

The Lady Panthers face Sturgeon on Thursday, Sept. 6, travel to Higbee on Tuesday Sept. 11 and host Cairo on Thursday, Sept. 13 before participating in the Paris Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The Madison Panthers (2-2) defeated Brunswick 11-0 and followed it up with a 12-4 routing of Atlanta.

Atlanta Blake Brown pitched a gem of a game surrendering no earned runs while allowing only 4 hits, striking out 7 and walking only 1 run for the win.

Offensively, Blake Hultz reached base 4 times (3 walks and was hit by a pitch) and scored 3 runs. Tyler Bennett rapped out 2 doubles and 2 singles going perfect at the dish while driving in 5 runs and scoring 3 himself. Jacob Wandrey had 2 hits while going 2 for 2 with 3 Ribbys and scored 2 runs. Blaine Love doubled and drove home 2 runs, Austin Freels had 2 hits and an RBI while Dustin Ketchem scored 2 runs.

Atlanta scored a run in the first while Madison countered with a 3 run inning. Atlanta added 3 more in the second to take a quick 4-3 lead but Madison again rallied for 2 in the second and added 7 in the third.

“I was pretty happy with the way we played tonight with the exception of the first two innings,” said Coach Bryant Jones. “We gave up four unearned runs on routine defensive plays that have to be made.

I was impressed that we were able to overcome those mistakes and continue to compete hard. Blake Brown led us from the mound pounding the zone and staying ahead of hitters. He really took control of the game in the third inning striking out the side. That got us a jump-start and our offense responded with 2 runs in the third and 7 more in the fourth. Tyler Bennett and Jacob Wandrey had big nights at the plate driving in 8 runs combined. Overall, we had a really good game.”

Brunswick Blake Hultz banged a triple and drove in 3 runs and scored 2 more.

Blake Brown had 2 doubles with an RBI and scored 2, Blaine Love also stroked a double and added

2 RBIs while Austin Freels had a double, an RBI and a run scored.

On the mound Tyler Bennett threw a masterful five inning shutout allowing only 3 hits while striking out 7 and walking 2 batters.

“We played a solid game all the way around,” said Coach Jones.

Tyler Bennett was aggressive on the mound, attacking batters, which kept him ahead in counts and in control. I’d like to see us play better defense though. We had a few outs get away from us.

Thankfully our pitcher stayed composed and picked us up when he needed to.”

The Panthers host Sturgeon on Thursday, Sept. 6 and travel to Higbee on Tuesday, Sept. 11 before returning home to host Cairo on Thursday, Sept. 13.
