APPEAL

On Being the Greatest

We have gotten into the habit of thinking of and referring to our country as the greatest in the world. It is to most of us a self evident fact that we take for granted. Anyone who raises questions about our continuing superiority does so at their own risk and peril. The choruses of “love it or leave it” and “traitor” come too easily to the lips of many of us, and questioning one’s patriotism has become almost as common as questioning his or her good faith or honesty.

Even in areas where our county is provably not number one such as literacy, infant mortality and life expectancy or others where we can and are trying to improve, there is no concession of our lack of dominance.

We are a young nation grounded in self reliance, competition and challenge. And yes, a great nation at our best when called to unite to meet a challenge or when we come together in defense of our country. We see this in our response to participation in the World Wars, in putting men on the moon, in our response to the 9-11 attacks, in the Marshall Plan and in victory gardens and pennies saved for the starving kids in China in years past.

But we are a nation of imperfect and flawed beings who will not always be at our best in all things for all time so we cannot expect our country to be so either. We will never be perfect or get it all right. But the Fourth of July America, the Veterans and Memorial Days Americas reminds us not only of our blessings and the sacrifices of our forebears and fellow American men and women, but of our ongoing need for challenge and unity for a purpose, a mission if you will.

The current family feuds we call politics are a costly distraction from our missions and our destiny. Only history can really tell us whether or not we are or were the greatest, whether we were the North Star that guided and set the direction for others or a shooting star, bright and showy in its brief race across the sky.

appeal@parismo.net It is all about the numbers. The population of the United States is 311,592,000. The population of Missouri is 6,010,688. The population of Paris is 1,220. There were 8,000 students from all over the United States in San Antonio for the FBLA National Convention. Paris R-II High School Junior Rae Graupman, daughter of Cheri Graupman and the late Dennis Graupman finished 2nd in the nation in Client Services. Now that is a great number! Rae is number 2 out of 8,000 out of 6,010,688 out of 311,592,000!!!

In fact the whole group of Paris students participat-

ing in the FBLA National Convention activities did extremely well. These students included Josh Ebbesmeyer, Paul Turner, Ted Ebbesmeyer, Danielle Wheelan, Katie Otto and the aforementioned Rae Graupman. These incredible students are sponsored by FBLA adviser extrordinnaire Barb Mason. These individuals along with all their fellow FBLA participants captured their 11th straight district title this past year.

This success is not a fluke… The students we have here in the local area are incredibly talented and continue to shine in both academics and athletics through the instruction of superbly trained and dedicated professionals coupled with good home support and guidance.

Paris, Madison, Holliday and Middle Grove continue to put up solid instructional numbers as witnessed by the School of Distinction awards hanging in their hallways.

Just look in these pages any week and you see success after success of our local students.

Jaelyn Bergmann – FFA State President; Cole Lockhart – All State Outfielder; Paris Quiz Bowl – District Champions; Paris A Cubed; Paris, Madison and Holliday Honor Rolls; Paris and Madison FFA State Degrees; All area school FFA contest participants; Paris and Madison All Conference and All District basketball, softball, baseball and football players; Paris State Track participants; Science Olympiad success at state; and the list goes on and on and on.

These successes do not come easy. They take hard work on both sides of the desk. The teachers put in long hours to make sure our students are successful and parents and students go that extra mile to make sure they succeed. Jaelyn Bergmann did not just get up one day and say, “I think today I will become FFA President.” It took planning, perseverance and hard work from her, her advisors and her friends and fellow students over a period of years to make her dream come true. School is a symbiotic relationship. No one succeeds alone – it takes another and another and maybe another for a student to shine.

Congratulations to all our local schools – the future is yours!

Have a great week!

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: The American Red Cross and blood drive organizers appreciate the Paris community and the First Baptist Church of Paris for their participation in a successful blood drive at the church on Thursday, June 28. Because of the help of the participants, the Red Cross was able to collect 72 units of blood. Because each blood donation can help save up to three lives, 216 patients could benefit from the generosity of the Paris area donors.

Those who donated blood at the First Baptist Church blood drive helped during a time of great need. During the month of June, Red Cross blood donations are down more than 10 percent nationwide, leading the Red Cross to issue an emergency appeal for blood donors of all blood types.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

Growing Pains I believe marriage can be one of the most amazing things we commit to in this life. It can be special, wonderful, exciting, exhilarating, joyous, insightful, romantic and fulfilling. It can also be trying, stale, difficult, not fulfilling, not romantic, not-at-all joyous and just plain blah. Yes, I said it and I will even say this: Marriage can sometimes be a pain in the rear. Some of us have even thought to ourselves a time or twowhy in the world did I marry this man or this woman?

I have concern for couples who go into a marriage thinking their days will be filled with nothing but roses, sunshine and pure blissful days. I say that because it is usually those people who do not know what to do when they start experiencing some growing pains in their marriage. Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t think we should go into a marriage speaking doom and gloom and only expecting the worse but I do think it is crucial for young couples to get some counseling or hang out with a couple who have some years under their belt so they can get a clearer picture of what marriage is about. Especially if their picture of marriage came from watching a television or reality show.

It is good to have positive people and resources to help us along the way in our marriage. I read a book in my second year of my marriage that talked about how when your husband makes you mad don’t pray that God changes him but instead pray that God changes you.

At first I was like WHAT? But then I

started seeing how it made sense. If I was upset because my husband didn’t spend enough time talking to me or I thought he was cranky too much I would ask God to help me. Then I noticed when he was in a bad mood or whatever, it wouldn’t bother me so I didn’t get cranky back with him or give him the silent treatment or play any other petty game. I instead let his mood ride out in turn his bad mood didn’t last as long and I was a lot happier.

In order for our marriages to flourish we need to be working on ourselves more than trying to work on our spouses.

The only person we can change is ourselves and with the help of God we can make the positive changes but also learn how to see ourselves the way He does and ultimately truly love who He made us to be.

Hopefully, we are constantly growing as a person in this life so it only makes sense that our marriages should also be constantly growing. The thing we have to remember is that just like our physical growing pains can bring discomfort so can our marriage growing pains. But we can make it through the discomfort if we stay committed, focused and remember the vows we made on our wedding day.

Here is a refresher for those of us who might not remember so on those days, weeks or months when we are feeling the discomfort from our marriage pains we can reflect on the vows we promised to our spouse, to ourselves and to God: I will be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

American Red Cross blood donors rock! Whether you’re a fan of Bill Haley and his Comets, the Rolling Stones or Bon Jovi, the Red Cross invites you to Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeves this summer to give blood or platelets.

Donating blood can help save up to three lives because your blood is separated into its components — red cells, plasma and platelets — to treat patients with different needs.

Donating platelets primarily benefits cancer patients. When a patient is undergoing chemotherapy, the production of blood cells is affected and the platelet count may drop to a critical level.

Shake, Rattle and Roll into a Red Cross blood drive May 22 —July 31 and you’ll be eligible to win a Gibson guitar, courtesy of The Gibson Foundation. The Red Cross will award multiple guitars and 50,000 guitar picks, co-branded with the Gibson and Red Cross logos, during this campaign. In addition, you’ll receive a rock and roll

theme t-shirt.

Good Golly Miss Molly, helping to save lives through blood donation makes you a rock star. Visit a Red Cross blood drive this summer and in no time you’ll be singing, “I love Rock n’ Roll.”

Locally, you may Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeves on the following date: Monday. July 16, from 2-6 p.m., at the Madison Area Community Center, 115 S. Main, Madison.

The drive is sponsored by Madison Area Community Betterment Corporation.

How to Donate Blood:

Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) or visit redcrossblood. org for more information or to make an appointment. All blood types are needed to ensure the Red Cross maintains an adequate blood supply. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in, Donors must be in general good health, weigh at least 110 pounds and be at least 17 years old (16 with completed Parental Consent Form). New height and weight restrictions apply to donors 18 and younger.

This is a Christian based home to help those that have been abused, neglected and other problems. The homeparents teach them discipline, respect, love and responsibilities.

For the children’s sermon, Dawn Peak read to the children out of Genesis when God formed the land and made plants. She told the children how they need to thank the farmers who grow the food and the people after the farmers who process the food for sale. Without them we would not have food. She then prayed thanking God for the wonderful children present and asked Him to please send rain to help the crops grow. The children’s ministry was taught by Brian Chase assisted by Ian Chase and Jessi Benskin.

Prayers were requested for Jo Reynolds’ son for a job and a 16 year old friend undergoing tests, James A Booth, Sara Watson, Ruth Conley, Homer Gray, Joyce Mudd, Frances Thomas, the Betty Albus family, the Mary Anglen family, the Kim Cook family, Joy Whittaker, Peggy Crabtree, the Chase household, Christopher Shumard, John Bell (Ben’s father), John & Dallas Baker to sell their home, service men and for all families to withstand satan’s attack.

The Sun., July 8 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “The Wonderful Grace of Jesus” on the piano followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in song to “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”; “Love Divine”; “Leading On the Everlasting Arms” and “God Be With You”.

Prayer was held for Sherri Graupman; Amanda Grimmett; the Grimmett’s; James Ed Booth; Kathy; Mark; the Cearleys; for rain; for the strength and power of Jesus Christ and all said the Lord’s Prayer. Happy Birthday was sang to Kurt Jackson and Jere Nelson.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as they sang a very touching song “Seasons Change”.

The message “Through Christ Who Gives Us Strength” was based on scripture from 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 as Paul glorifies his experience in Chapter 11 and commends his apostleship. God told Paul His grace was sufficient for all weakness - “for when I am weak - I am strong...” you can find your life in the times of difficulty if you only believe in Jesus Christ - in the times of life when things seem to fall apart. As Paul talks of the “thorn in his side”, as a torment, it reminds him that he is weak... to remind him to trust in God. “Bad things happen to good people” Satan is always waiting for a Christian who moves forward. God reminds us, “MY grace is sufficient in darkness” Satan will try to tell you to “give up” - the great lie - “I can do all things thru Jesus Christ”...so can you!

You can endure all things thru Jesus! “When I am weak! I am strong!”

The offertory was led by Gary Rahmeyer as Patti played “Jesus, Name Above All Names”.

Patti played “Marvelous Grace” as all retired in fellowship.

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

Pastor Terry Davison

Paris Full Gospel Fellowship

On Sunday, July 8, we discussed the subject of “discerning.” Discernment can briefly be defined as the ability to perceive whether people, events, or beliefs come from God or from Satan. When Peter challenged Jesus regarding his pending crucifixion, Jesus turned to him and said, “Get behind me, Satan...” discerning that Peter was unduly influenced by Satan. John 4:1 tells us, “do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Discernment comes from God, and when practiced, allows us to establish proper doctrine and disciplines. Learning Scriptural precepts is appropriately requisite in the application of good discernment, both in our association with others and in our personal lives. Both the third chapter of Malichi and the second chapter of Proverbs urge us to seek discernment in our lives. Let us seek God early, and discern within and among ourselves our right standing with Him.

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

“Tell Others About Christ” was the theme for the Sunday, July 8 worship service at the Perry Christian Church. Arlen Provancha sang “Let’s Just Praise the Lord” to open the service.

Pastor Todd welcomed guests and gave the Call to Worship. He announced that there will be an Installation Service for the recent elected officers next Sunday, July 15.

“Great is the Lord” was sung in praise. We were reminded to be living witnesses. “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” was the prayer hymn.

John Asbury and Lois Friday are both in the hospital and new on our prayer list.

After the pastor’s meditation, the communion hymn “Beneath the Cross of Jesus “ was sung. Arlen Provancha and Greg Harrison were elders. Nancy Seelow, Wyatt Lewellen, David Lewellen, and Jesse Todd served as deacons.

Jeanie Gay gave the children’s moment. Mark 6:1-13 was read by Connie Murray. Pastor Todd’s sermon “Taking the Gospel with You” reminded us how Jesus sent his disciples out 2 by 2 to proclaim the Gospel.

Likewise, we are sent out to be living witnesses. We need not go alone.

We can take someone with us, as we witness through the sharing of our faith and love.

The invitation hymn was “When We All Get to Heaven”, closing the service with “Lord, Dismiss Us with Your Blessing”.

Paris Presbyterian Church

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, July 8.

Patti Grimmett served as the organist. She led us into worship service with, “Wonderful Grace of Jesus.” The call to worship was from Psalm 25. The beginning hymn was, “Give Thanks.” Next there was a time for passing the peace and greeting one another. Pastor John Grimmett gave the announcements and led the pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. The special music piece was ,”Seasons Change.”

Pastor John Grimmett delivered the message, “The Strength of Our Savior.” The message was based on scripture reading from 2 Corinthian 12:2-10. The closing hymn was, “Amazing Grace.” The benediction response was, “On Eagles Wings.” Patti Grimmett led us out of worship service with, “Grace Greater Than Our Sin.” The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, July 15. Adult Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., Children’s Sunday School begins at 10 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m.

Paris First Christian Church Pastor Donna Scott The Paris First Christian Church held a worship service on Sunday, July 8, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, about a girl restored to life and a woman healed, was titled “Do Not Fear...

The monthly Bible memory verse is: Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. John 6:47 (NRSV). The thought for the week is: When you are DOWN to nothing...God is UP to something. Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible.

Diana Hammond gave the children’s sermon about the story of Job. She passed out marshmallows and told of Job’s struggles with Satan.

God told Satan that Job was blameless and upright. Satan responded that Job had been blessed and would surely curse God if the blessings were taken away. God allowed many blessings to be taken from Job

by Satan but still he did not curse God. (As each thing was taken from Job, the children’s marshmallows were taken away.) Satan said Job had been protected from physical pain. So God allowed Job’s body to be covered with sores. After many trials, Job still did not curse God; all his possessions were restored and Job received twice as much as he had before. – (Each child was given back twice as many marshmallows as they began with.)

Call to worship was from Psalms 33. Steve Ensor sang a solo, “Refiner’s Fire”. Leon Pease sang special music, “Praise His Name”. Mary Treat led children’s church.

Reverend James Stewart gave the message from God’s word entitled “Onward, Inward & Upward” from Matthew 9:35-38. Jesus went through towns and villages teaching in synagogues preaching the good news. Verse 36 says, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Today, we can go to many points in the world. Many people need help with food and they need to hear the gospel. Are we too involved with our everyday life to take care of their needs? We need to have compassion and love for all people even terrorists and prisoners.

They also need to know God. Our mission field may be far away or right around us but we need to be thoughtful about others needs.

FBLA finds success at Nationals... Continued from front the best of the best and it is really exciting,” said Graupman.

Josh Ebbesmeyer, Teddy Ebbesmeyer, and Katie Otto from Paris High School competed in Emerging Business Issues and moved from the preliminary round of this competitive event to the final round. The team received 11th in the nation in Emerging Business Issues. This event provided Josh, Teddy, and Katie with an opportunity to develop and demonstrate skills in researching and presenting

an emerging business issue. The event is based on team rather than individual participation. In addition to learning research skills, team participants develop speaking ability and poise through oral presentations. Danielle Wheelan was the original member of this team but was unable to arrive in San Antonio for the preliminary round because of her trip to Europe. Danielle flew from Europe to San Antonio and joined up with Paris FBLA the second day of the conference.

Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces the results of a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) saturation conducted in Monroe and Ralls counties on July 7. The saturation began at 11 p.m., and concluded at 2 a.m. on July 8. During this enforcement operation, officers patrolled specific areas with a goal of detecting impaired drivers and other traffic violations that contribute to traffic crashes. As a result of the operation, officers is-

sued three citations and 23 warnings. Of the citations issued, one was issued for careless and imprudent driving and two were issued for insurance violations.

“The Patrol is committed to highway safety,” stated Captain Wilt.

“More special enforcement programs will be conducted throughout the year. Please drive safely, make sure everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained, either with a seat belt or a child restraint seat, and never drink and drive.”

FBLA Sponsors And Judges Barbara Mason, Paris FBLA Adviser, served as a competitive event coordinator for the Client Service event. Chuck Mason, Jamie Ebbesmeyer, and Sidney Wheelan served as national competitive event judges during the conference.

Suzy Otto, Jamie and Marie Ebbesmeyer, Doug and Lynn Turner, and Sidney Wheelan attended the conference and were able to see their children receive their awards.

Touring San Antonio While in San Antonio, the Paris delegation toured The Alamo, visited San Antonio’s renown River Walk area, took the River Walk Cruise, and toured Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc. (TMMTX); Toyota’s newest vehicle assembly plant in San Antonio. Along with its onsite suppliers, TMMTX manufactures the Tundra and Tacoma trucks. Some attendees also visited Sea World of San Antonio.

MFA Oil/Propane... Continued from front

Cole Lockhart - Paris Coyotes All State Outfielder - First Team

Bobby Fodge; 100 gallon propane, Kent Dye; and 100 gallon propane, David Eales.

MFA Oil Company was organized in 1929 by Missouri farmers who wanted to be assured of a reliable supply of quality petroleum products at a fair price. The first bulk plant was located at Wright City, and seven more plants were established the same year. Kerosene for chicken brooders, home lighting and cookstoves, along with axle grease for farm machinery, were the products most in demand.

Over the years the needs and demands of their customers changed and MFA Oil responded…

• Because today’s automobiles, farm equipment and other machinery require specially formulated

fuels and lubricants to keep them running efficiently; they offer a full line of products to do just that.

• Because many of MFA customers depend on propane to heat their homes, operate their appliances and dry their crops; they are now the largest supplier of propane gas in Missouri and have extended their operations into neighboring states... Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Because today’s population is so mobile, they operate Break Time convenience stores and Petro-Card 24 systems to make work and travel more convenient. And, to keep their customers on the road with the best tires and automobile service; they operate the Big O Tire and Jiffy Lube franchises in midMissouri.

Some motorists don’t respect bikers. Some bikers don’t think the laws apply to them. But the truth is, both parties share the responsibility for reducing the risk of collision and injury on the road. These simple actions can help keep everyone safe.

Safety Steps for Drivers If possible, slow down when driving near cyclists and avoid honking your horn.

Keep a safe distance between your car and a cyclist when passing.

Try to increase the distance when you’re traveling at faster speeds.

After passing a cyclist, make sure you can see him/her in your rearview mirror before you return to the right lane.

When you’re parked on the street, check for cyclists before you open your car door.

Yield to bikes as you would other vehicles.

Scan bike lanes before making right turns.

Avoid distractions (such as cell phones) that could keep you from noticing a cyclist.

Safety Steps for Cyclists Wear a helmet.

Obey all traffic laws, signs and signals.

Ride with traffic in the farthest-right lane.

Travel single-file when biking with others.

Make eye contact with drivers so you both know you’ve seen one another.

Use hand signals to notify drivers of your intention to stop or turn.

Think visibility! Wear brightly colored clothing and outfit your bike with the proper lights and reflectors.

When possible, travel three feet away from parked vehicles.

Practice extra caution around large trucks and buses, and be sure to avoid their blind spots. If you can’t see their mirrors, they can’t see you.

Driving and riding defensively is one of the most important steps drivers and cyclists can take to help ensure one another’s safety.

Whether you’re navigating a bike or a car, always pay attention and be ready to deal with hazards.

Where in Europe is Danielle Wheelan?

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

She continues her commentary as she travels through Europe.

Day 8: Get on the bus. Get off the bus. We drove…and drove…and drove some more. 11 hours to be exact, but I have to say it was well worth it…We are in Switzerland! We are staying at the famous ski resort in Crans-Montana. It is gorgeous here! The skies are blue, the grass is green, and the snowcapped mountains are breath taking!

The locals and shop owners here are very welcoming. Since this village is very dependent on the winter sports, most of the shops are closed during the summer months, but many have opened all their shops specifically for the Missouri Ambassadors of Music during this time. Tonight we were able to check out some of the shops and take a walk around town. It was a shame that we ended up getting lost, but it did mean a very scenic route back to our hotels.

Okay, I’ve said this a lot, but it is just really hard to believe I’m actually here. It’s a dream come true.

It’s so beautiful that I’m actually wondering if it could be my new favorite place in Europe… It could very well be.

Day 9: Today was Switzerland at its best! Me and several of my friends took a cable car up to the top of the Swiss Alps. At the top we took a quick hike through the hills to get an even better view (if that was even possible). The view is spectacular; I’m not even sure how to fully describe it. No words or pictures can fully show the beauty of it. It’s just something you have to see with your own eyes.

Later we went to the Castle of Chillon resting right along the edge of Lake Geneva. This is where Lord Byron imprisoned himself and wrote the poem “The Prisoner of Chillon.” Honestly, I was more interested in the Lake than the actual castle. We took a leisurely walk along the lake to the city of Montreux.

Our final destination there was to the statue of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen. There just so happened to be a dock right across from it. Most of us held our breaths, took a leap of faith, and jumped into the freezing water. It was well worth it! How many people can actually say they jumped into Lake Geneva? Not many. It was an experience I will never forget.

Lastly, we had are huge concert tonight. It was our biggest, loudest, and craziest crowd yet. Our concert lasted almost 2 ½ hours and people roared and cheered for encores. It was our coolest concert yet.

Day 10: Today we boarded the railroad and went to the Switzerland town of Zermatt. This village is located near the base of the Matterhorn. We took another train up to see this famous mountain and more great views. We also had a chance to hike and shop for some of Switzerland’s famous souvenirs such as watches, chocolate, and knives. This was a very fun, but relaxing day.

We came back to a wonderful party hosted by the villages of Crans-Montana. They fed us their specialty of cheese fondue and shared some of their traditions; One tradition being that if you drop your bread in the fondue you have to kiss everyone at your table. With a group of 155 teenagers, I have to say this made for a very interesting night. And since we gave them a concert, they gave us one too! They danced, sang, yodeled, and played their alphorns and accordions all night long! They even had us join in for a few songs.

Switzerland really has been great. I’ve had an amazing time here and don’t want to leave, but tomorrow we are off to Liechtenstein and Austria.

Stay Tuned...

Mary Bernice Anglen 1994-2012 I lost my best friend today.

There are so many memories of Mary that I will never forget. Channing Tatum movies.

Ketchup on ice cream. Bugs Bunny. Driving everywhere on God’s green earth just for fun. Singing too loud. Talking about everything...and nothing. Getting lost. Being a great friend. These are all things that she loved. She will be a part of me forever. My heart is breaking, but I know she’s in a better place.

Heather DeOrnellis

We little knew this morning God was to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly.

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Mary was a fierce competitor and an even fiercer friend. She always pushed the people around her to do and be the best that they could. Mary will definitely be missed.

Paul Turner

Mary was a great person and a great friend. She respected everyone around her and always wanted them to enjoy life. She worked very hard and made the most out of the time she was given here with us.

She wanted everyone else to be happy all the time, because that’s how she was. To her, everyday was like Christmas, her favorite day of the year. We all enjoyed Mary and she will be very greatly missed.
