Blow Cancer Away signature fundraiser this Saturday, at Paris High School Gym The Monroe County Cancer Supporters will hold their fourth annual “Blow Cancer Away” signature fundraising banquet this Saturday, March 7, at the Paris R-II Schools, High School Cafeteria, Paris. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the serving of the banquet meal will begin at 6 p.m. Neither reservations nor tickets are needed; a voluntary donation will be accepted for the meal. The fun has already begun with the advance sale of drawing tickets: Drawing items include a 50 inch flat screen LCD television, a 1/2 beef – already processed, and a new Apple iPad Air. Drawing tickets are available from any Cancer Supporter member, and they can be purchased at the banquet.

Many great items, large and small, have been donated for a silent auction. These items can be viewed and bids placed before and during the banquet. After the meal the excitement level gets even higher as the live auction will get underway.

Auction items include many handmade specialty pieces.

The Monroe County Cancer Supporters was organized in December 2009, to provide support to Monroe County residents and their families who are dealing with the financial, emotional, and physical burdens of a cancer diagnosis. As a 501(c)3 charity the Cancer Supporters provide money and services to Monroe County individuals last year. Funded by generous donations and the proceeds of last year’s successful “Blow Cancer Away” event, this direct, monetary assistance slightly lightens the load on our cancer patients, and, maybe just as important, it tells them their friends and neighbors

care.

The help the Cancer Supporters provide goes beyond money. In some cases there are other needs that cause hardship and concern to patients and their families. If the cook of the house is sick preparation of a few meals can be a big help. Maybe a leaky faucet needs fixing, or the grass needs to be mowed. Maybe transportation to the sometimes daily treatments becomes

impossible to the family. Or what if, adding insult to injury, on top of being scared and sick a lady’s self esteem is shattered by the loss of her hair. Cancer Supporters maintains a list of volunteers for nearly every imaginable need - transportation, meal preparation, house and yard work, and so on. They also offer wigs and head coverings for use by patients.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

As Time Goes By

From the desk of the Editor

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR

All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue

appeal@parismo.net

Politics and Fundraising… I felt a heavy pain last week when it was announced that Missouri State Auditor and gubernatorial candidate Tom Schweich had passed away from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Only a couple of weeks ago I had sat and listened to an impassioned State Auditor give an excellent, off the cuff, presentation to 100+ journalists about campaign reform and what he would do if he was elected governor of the great state of Missouri. The moving and passionate speech was not filled with a bunch of fancy rhetoric or hollow promises but with concrete solutions and expectations for the citizens of Missouri. To find out not a fortnight later that this fine politician had succumbed to the machinations of campaign strategies was indeed a sad day.

Hopefully, both parties in Jefferson City will use this atrocious situation to pass some meaningful campaign ethics and campaign funding legislature. But personally, I will not hold my breath. I am sure that this tragedy will be pushed out of our digital memories, or at least the media ones, as a long primary battle still rages with three Republican candidates for governor.

When I was a youth one of the adages of New York baseball was, “New York Yankees – best team money can buy.”

I am hoping that a new adage, “best elected

DAVID EALES

politician money can buy,” does not ever relate to a Missouri politician or gubernatorial candidate.

This weekend is the signature fundraising event of the Monroe County Cancer Supporters – Blow Cancer Away.

This event will be held this year, for the first time, at Paris R-II High School, in the gymnasium. Blow Cancer Away will be held on Saturday, March 7, with doors opening at 5 p.m., and dinner being served at 6 p.m. After dinner the silent auction, live auction and other activities will take place.

This event covers another newer adage, “it takes a village to raise a child” well “it takes a hard working committee to put on a fantastic event such as Blow Cancer Away.”

Come early and stay late – bid on auction items, enjoy great food and fellowship and learn ways to fight a vicious disease new ways.

Good luck to MCCS President John Turner and his hard charging, hardworking, dedicated group of fundraisers!

Have a great week!

MY TURN The Other Snow Angels

When we have winters like this one with long periods of snow cover and windy, cold and gloomy days I get a little envious of the snow birds that spend most of the winter in a warm climate. But then I see the kids with their sleds and snow men and little ones on their backs in the snow working both arms to make their snow angels, and I would miss their enjoyment of the snow.

I would also miss the other snow angels that appear only in bad weather with the ice and snow.

You have seen them where you live. He is the guy that cleans off the church lot before services and forgets to send a bill. She is the young woman that

stopped to help (dressed for work and a small child with her) when my car took a slide into a ditch last year. It is the neighbor that does the walk and steps for the older folks next door along with his or her own or the nice guy up the road that just happens by with the tractor and blade when you need to get to work.

It is all of us that took the time to pull, start or give a ride, a push or a helping hand on a frigid, nasty day or night. There is the spirit of all of us being in this together. It is a joy to see and a comfort to know that such other snow angels do exist, are around and among us each winter.

40th District Representative Capitol Report

by Rep. Jim Hansen

It was with immense sadness that I learned of the tragic passing of my fellow public servant, Tom Schweich. This is a devastating loss for our state as we have now lost a leader and a man of the highest integrity, character and dedication. I ask now that all Missourians pray for the Schweich family as they cope with this tragic loss.”

In the weeks and months to come we will continue to try to make sense of what happened and why a life so promising could end in this way. As we do, I hope we all can continue to focus our thoughts on the many positive steps forward Tom Schweich helped us take throughout his dedicated service to our state. Below are a few of the highlights of his outstanding life and career: · A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law School. · Schweich served as chief of staff for the Danforth Special Counsel Investigation Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. · He also served as Chief of Staff to three United States Ambassadors to the United Nations. · He also served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Acting Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in the State Department. · Schweich led diplomatic missions to approximately 30 countries. · From 2007 – 2008 Schweich served as the US Coordinator for Counternarcotics and Justice Reform in Afghanistan · He authored three books - “Protect Yourself from Business Lawsuits;” “Crashproof Your Life,” and “Staying Power.” · As State Auditor he worked to ensure the proper use of public funds and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Missouri government. · His office helped uncover more than 30 corrupt government officials embezzling millions of Missourians’ hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and identified tens Continued to page 11

COMMUNITY NEWS Madison C-3 Schools Title I program and activities Learning to Talk with Our Hands

Ms. Bennett with the students.

Title I - Share the Love Family Night

Faith learning to sign her name.

The Madison C-3 TItle I Program held its February family night on February 12, 2015. The theme for this night was “Share the Love.” The students and parents that attended participated in different activities that were heart or Valentine’s Day related.

There were two Minute to Win It type activities.

For one of them they had to see how many conversation hearts they could stack in one minute. If their tower fell over, they had to start over. Ayden Land stacked 23 hearts without it falling over.

The second one was Candy Corn Stickup. At this activity they had to

see how many candy corn they could make stand upright in one minute.

They then had to measure their line to see how long it was. Johnnie Thomas had the longest line at 24 inches. Other activities included: Create a Shape using gumdrops and toothpicks; Edible Necklace using marshmallows, icing, and sprinkles; Heart Shaped Man; and Tugging on the Heartstrings, an activity where they used yard to trace the flow of blood through the lungs and heart. The evening ended with the movie Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown , popcorn and Koolaid.

One of the activities was to make a homemade Valentine to deliver to the residents of Jones’ Wildwood Care Center located south of Madison.

On Friday, February 13, 22 students got to deliver their homemade Valentine in person. The kids enjoyed this community service project and want to do it again next year.

There were approximately 75 people in attendance at the Share the Love Family Night. Everyone had a good time.

The next scheduled Title I family night is March 19, at 6 p.m., in the school cafeteria.

Recently a group of Madison elementary students read the book, The Year of Miss Agnes by Kirkpatrick Hill. Miss Agnes teaches school in a one room school house in Alaska. When she learns that one child is not attending school because she is deaf, Miss Agnes helps the student to learn using sign language.

After reading the book the students had the opportunity to visit with Sarah Bennett who studied American Sign Language. Ms. Bennett showed the students how to sign the alphabet, their name, and other common words.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon titled “Pentecost: Preparing For the Last Days”, was from Acts 2:14-21. After the baptism of the Holy Spirit the disciples were equipped with God the Father, His Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. After the people received the Holy Spirit, others heard them speaking in different languages; some people thought they were “full of new wine”. Peter’s life was transformed after Pentecost and he stood defending the people reciting the scriptures from Joel.

Through Christ our sins are removed when we seek forgiveness. We can also experience signs and wonders, until the return of Christ. Only God knows when Jesus will return. At this time God will pour out his spirit on all humanity.

Members were reminded of their assigned food items and to bring a $1.00 gift for playing bingo.

New Business: President Kathy has been contacted by the school counselor, Tim Holman. He is aware of the fact that we present two annual scholarships, but asked if we would consider sponsoring a girl to Girls State in June. Cost of that would be $300. Lioness annually does that, but Madison has two girls who wish to attend this year. He mentioned that paying half the cost would be helpful. Kathy had brought this up at the meeting of Community Betterment on Monday evening, February 23, and they passed a motion to pay half the cost if Homemakers paid the other half. Motion was made and passed to do so. Darleen will prepare a check, and Kathy will take it to Mr. Holman Friday morning. Deadline is March 1.

of millions of dollars in waste and abuse in state and local government.

He will be missed by the state of Missouri and everyone in the Capitol.

It was another busy week on the floor and in committee for all of us.

House Moves to Extend Big Government Get Off My Back Act – HB 32 My colleagues and I took action this week to continue a program that has helped nearly 200 small businesses here in Missouri. The Big Government Get Off My Back Act has been in effect for several years now and has bolstered small business growth by providing a tax deduction to small employers who create goodpaying jobs.

Specifically, the bill allows a $10,000 tax deduction for each full-time job a business with fewer than 50 employees creates that matches the county’s average wage.

The act doubles the deduction for employers who offer new employee health insurance and pay at least 50 percent of the premiums. The provisions of the bill previously applied through 2014, but with the passage of HB 32 we would extend them through the 2019 tax year.

HB 130 Receives House Approval The House engaged in spirited debate this week as we considered a bill to put a prescription drug monitoring program in place. Missouri is the only state in the nation that does not have such a system in place already, and advocates for the issue say it is time to change that distinction.

The goal with the database is to provide doctors and pharmacies with a powerful tool to prevent the abuse of prescription medications, and to protect patients from having conflicting medications prescribed by the various physicians they may see.

Additional Safety Standards for Clinics that Provide Abortions – HB 190 The House also approved legislation this week designed to improve the safety at Missouri’s only clinic that provides abortions. The bill was filed by one of my colleagues who was concerned by a recent inspection that found multiple violations. While those issues were corrected, the concern is that the facility is not inspected frequently enough to ensure it is maintaining adequate health standards.

The bill we passed this week simply says the facility must be inspected no less than once per year.

Legislation that Creates an Elected Secretary of Agriculture – HJR 29 HJR 29 is a constitutional amendment that would change the currently appointed director position to statewide elected office called the Secretary of Agriculture. My personal position at this time is gather more information about this HJR. If any of you would like to give feedback, please don’t hesitate to call or email my office.

Medical Marijuana – HB 800 The Committee on Emerging Issues heard 3 hours of testimony this week from those supporting, opposing, and providing information on the subject of medical marijuana. Television personality Montel Williams was in attendance and provided 45 minutes of testimony in support of HB 800. Again, this is an issue I would like to hear from you about. Your opinions and feedback are always welcome and encouraged.

Thanks to everyone for the support. I look forward to moving on with committee work this week as I continue to serve the 40th District.

Working on your behalf, Representative Jim Hansen Proudly Serving the 40th House District Lincoln, Monroe, Pike, & Ralls Counties Missouri House of Representatives 573-751-4028

Lady Coyotes finish great Home Grown season in district final

C o a c h e s

Both Paris R-II Lady Coyote Coaches, Assistant Coach Kayla Redmon, left, and Head Coach Garrett Thomas attended Paris R-II High School and both of these young coaches have returned to coach their high school team.

APPEAL PHOTO

The Paris Lady Coyotes can boast that they have “home grown coaches.” Garrett Thomas, in his sophomore season as head coach and Kayla Redmon in her inaugural year as assistant coach have coached their charges this year into uncharted territory for the Lady Coyotes - 22 wins and a scoring record for a freshman.

Garrett Thomas, the son of Kent and Tracie Thomas has two brothers Alex and Nic. He is a product of Paris R-II High School and he graduated from Central Methodist University, where he played basketball for three years, with a degree in Social Studies Education.

Assistant Coach Kayla Redmon also graduated from Paris R-II High School and has attended John Woods where she played softball and State Fair where she received her Associates Degree in Allied Health. She is the daughter of Brad and Michelle Acton and has a sister Taylor and two brothers Dustin and Devin.

“I loved the game of basketball more than everything else,” said Coach Thomas. “I liked baseball and football but loved basketball. My dad coached me in basketball when I was young and it was there that I learned the fundamentals of the game.”

“I have always loved

basketball - played it all my life and was on traveling teams in the summer,” said Assistant Coach Redmon. “I love the game and want to part of it as long as I can. Wining is my favorite thing about basketball!”

“The camaraderie with your teammates and the competitiveness of it,” said Coach Thomas of his favorite aspects of the game. “The more things you do the more playing time you will get. I like the aspect that the more things you are good at the more you can help your team.”

What does Coach Thomas do in his spare time? That’s an easy answer - he spends his time researching basketball.

“I am constantly searching for better ideas, plays and philosophies,” said Coach Thomas. “I read lots of books and am constantly on the Internet watching You Tube for coach’s plays and philosophies.”

“Dad taught me at an early age all the fundamentals I needed to know,” said Coach Thomas. “In college I learned more of the small things that you don’t get to learn in high school. I am constantly trying to learn by watching lots of basketball on television and learning from the announcers.”

“For me it started in 5th grade with Coaches Tal Henderson and Kent Ensor and then I learned more from Coach (Jason) Rinz and Coach (Tracy) Bottoms ,” said Assistant Coach Redmon. “I learned lots from them and from Coach (Chris) Willingham. I also watch videos and learn drills that we use for the team.

The

The Cinderella season of a group of fairly young but enthusiastic, energetic and dedicated players and coaches came to an end in the district final as the Paris Lady Coyotes fell to Cairo 38-23.

The surprise Lady Coyotes went 7-1 at home, 6-1 on the road, 9-4 at neutral sites and were 8-2 in conference play for their incredible 22-6 season record. The Lady Coyotes scored 1,162 points and gave up 913 points in their 28 games.

In district play, the second seeded Lady Coyotes defeated Louisiana 4132 in the first round and Monroe City 34-27 in the district semifinal to reach the district final versus Cairo for a showdown between the number 1 and 2 seeds.

In district play the Lady Coyotes were all over the stat columns. Freshman Drew Lockhart led all players with an 11.6 point per game average. She was also in the top players for rebounds with a 7.6 average per game. Sophomore Carmyn Holmes led all players with a 1.5 blocks per game with Senior Brooke Rentschler right on her heels with a 1.2 block average per game. Drew Lockhart was also in the top ten in blocks with a 0.6 average per game. Junior Abbie Wheelan was in the top 10 in steals with a 2.8 steal per game average.

Cairo Versus Cairo there seemed to be a lid on the basket as Lady Coyote after Lady Coyote came up just short of sinking that crucial hoop to start their momentum rolling. The Lady Coyotes could manage only a five spot in the first half and found themselves behind 17-5 at the half. The large contingent of Lady Coyote faithful, including a large, loud and enthusiastic student group, knew that Paris could put together a second half run.

The Lady Coyotes did hit more buckets in the second half as they had a 1210 third quarter but could not close the gap and a 9-8 Cairo fourth quarter sealed their fate.

Drew Lockhart led the team in scoring adding to her season freshman point record. Lockhart, Carmyn Holmes and Brooke Rentschler kept the Lady Coyotes in the game cleaning the boards to the tune of 24 defensive and 10 offensive rebounds. Abbie Wheelan led the team and added to her district top ten total in steals.

day.”

“I thought the team that won conference would be the team that went through rough patches the best,” noted Coach Thomas. “I think we have won all the games we were supposed to win and a couple where we were evenly matched.”

Why was the young Lady Coyote team successful this season?

“Every day the girls are focused and work hard,” said Assistant Coach Redmon. “Most come in before and stay after school working hard.

They deserve where they are.”

“The team this year loves the game of basketball,” said Coach Thomas.

“Even though the leaders are young - they love basketball. If you don’t like coming in and putting in the work you will not be successful.”

If you watched a Lady Coyote game this season you may have noticed the intensity in the eyes of their young coach as he surveys the floor from end to end no matter who has the ball or what the score is. You can see he is always thinking ahead to the next play call, the next substitution. Like Booby Fisher, Coach Garrett Thomas moves his Lady Coyotes around the floor in a precision manner.

The season is over now - but in the off season, both coaches will work hard, with their players, to make next year a season of reckoning for the Paris Lady Coyotes.

Team finishes season 22-6
