OPINION

MY TURN

JUST A THOUGHT

Health Care - A Changing Picture There is growing evidence that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is gaining ground.

More than seven million Americans have signed up for private health plans. Enrollment is estimated to be 13 million in 2015 and up to 22 million in 2016.

It is likewise gaining in recent polls. A recent ABC News-Washington Post poll had Americans in favor of Obamacare by a margin of 49% to 48%.

A Kaiser Family Foundation poll revealed that 59% of Americans want the program improved rather than repealed.

And there is much to improve. It is an overweight and sloppy piece of legislation that would need continuing monitoring and modifications. There should be some plans with lower costs and higher deductibles. There need not be as many mandated coverages and businesses that provide healthcare for employees, especially small business, should be able to use the exchanges to seek better plans at less costs.

It may very well be that the debate over Obamacare will continue being mostly about politics and political advantage rather then extending meaningful health care coverage to most Americans or to work at lowering health care costs across the board. But it looks now like Obamacare will survive the no retreat, no surrender response from its critics at least in some form and we still have no credible alternative plans offered that propose to either extend coverage or lower costs for health care.

Going backward will not be one of the options available after Mr. Obama’s term ends and he is no longer the fall guy for everything that could go wrong in America, while he was our president. Health care will be changed drastically in the near future. The real question is will our future leaders have the sense and the courage to join together to make those changes as painless and efficient as possible?

Dear Editor, Whoa Here, Just Wait A Minute!

Seems like more and more they are trying to slide one by us. The latest one (get this) Right to Farm, sounds like a no brainer, right. WRONG! The Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 262; section 262.800 Farmland protection act, purpose. Already gives us that right. So what are they up to. Last year 2013, the Republican Super Majority House and Senate in Missouri voted to allow a Communist Red China Company to buy 55,000 acres of Missouri farmland and 27% of the pork production in the United States. Now corporations are considered people to. So, Right to Farm as a constitutional amendment would give them the same protection in a court of law as I have. The difference is I can only afford one lawyer, they can afford twenty.

Local Control? Unless you are a class one county, you can forget about having Local Control the Constitution trumps Statutes and petitions. Look what is going on in the Ukraine, we have already given up assets to a Communist Company. Do we really want to protect them under our constitution, surely not?

Eddy Mitchell Rural Monroe County

First of all, we want to thank Jesus for protecting us and showing us how we are loved and cared about. We have so many people to thank and am so proud to live in Paris, Missouri. The support through prayers, words, cards, financial support, the shower...Thank you ALL! Words cannot express how thankful Donnie and I are for all the help & comfort we have received during and after our house fire. Thank you Mike and Kathleen for noticing the smoke and calling the fire department.

During that time, the fire department tried to save our beloved dog, Willie, but were unable to. Thanks for trying and a big thank you to Don Duncan for burying him and being so kind and gentle. Thank you Monroe County Fire Department for all your hard work and comforting words.

Thank you to our family, church family, school and friends who gave of their time to help us clean and move in to our new home. A very special Thank You to Marie Ebbesmeyer’s parents, Jerry & Rosemary, for sharing their beautiful home with us until we found a place to live. It was so peaceful and gave us the serenity we needed to think the next journey of our lives through. A special Thank You to Jason and Alonna for putting us up for several days. Thank You to Jared and Connie for their support from NY and to Christopher and Gabriela for their sweet sign they made and posted for us to see. Thank you Pastor Wesley for being by our side and to Alonna, Shane, and my sister, Darlene, for getting there so quickly...to all of our friends who were there at the fire.

Thank You Mr. Fredrick, for the nice article you wrote about Willie. When I get to missing him, I read that article, it makes me smile.

A big thank you to the MCAD, Andrea (my niece) and Mike Starrett and Jamie Ebbesmeyer, for transporting Donnie to Boone. Thank You Marie for checking on me while Donnie was in the hospital and for being there for us.

The advantages of living in a small town...

Thank You, Thank You Paris!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL,

Don and Diane Hickman

BY LISA TALTON CONTRIBUTING WRITER Half Full or Half Empty There is a glass of milk setting on the table. A group of us are asked what we see. Most of us would agree that it is a glass of milk but how we see that glass would more than likely differ. Some of us would say the glass is half full while others of us would say it is half empty.

It is amazing how we can view circumstances in our lives with this same type of mindset. Instead of looking at our situation with a glass half-full mentality we choose instead to see things with a glass half-empty one.

The great thing about it is we can choose to turn it around today. We can choose to approach things in our lives with positivity instead of negativity.

The more we do this the easier it will become and the more we do this the more enjoyable our lives will become.

I’m sure most of us have people we know who are negative all the time.

No matter what it is they can give us their negative take on it. Then we

LISA TALTON have people in our lives who try to see the good in things. And if they can’t find anything good to say then they do not say anything at all. If we choose to we can all be that person who looks for the silver lining instead of the one who only sees doom and gloom and the huge storm brewing. We can be thankful for what we have instead of focusing on what we are missing. It might take some time and a lot of effort but we can turn things around. The more positive we can see and speak the more positive our lives will be.

For example, when I walk into the family room and see my husbands notso-fresh-smelling socks and his empty cup on the table for the third time

Or.....I can see the glass half full and be thankful. Even if I don’t feel like going to work I can see things from a positive point of view. I can be thankful I am healthy enough to get up out of bed. I can realize there are many sick and suffering people who are bed ridden. I can be thankful I have a job even if it isn’t my dream job and know there are millions of people who are seeking employment each and every day.

I know this is easier said than done but we have to know and believe it can be done. If we choose to let the negative ripple turn into a full blown typhoon, we are probably going to have a bad day. But if we choose not to sweat the small stuff but instead think on those things that are positive and good and be thankful, we are more likely to have a good day.

And I don’t know about you but I would rather have a good day than a bad one.

So this week let’s choose to approach situations and circumstances with a glass half full attitude and choose to live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives.

this week, I can choose how I react. I can either complain and grumble to myself about how sick I am of picking up after him or I can just pick up the socks and put them in the laundry room and then put the cup in the sink. I can turn this molehill into a mountain by continuing to complain and then start complaining about other things I don’t like that he does. I can make it even worse by being rude to him or making snide comments.

Or........I can see the glass half full and be thankful I have a husband and my children have a father who is in the home with us. I can look over the small irritation of his housekeeping skills and instead focus on all the positive things about him.

Another exampleI wake up on Monday morning and start dreading the day because I don’t feel like going to work.

Then I start thinking about all the things I don’t like about my job. The more I think like this, the more I don’t want to get up. Next thing I know, I am cranky and in a bad mood. The last thing I want to do is go to my awful job.

The Roth Conversion Strategy

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

You have a small problem. You love the idea of a Roth IRA — all those potential tax-free withdrawals and no required minimum withdrawals during your lifetime. There’s a hitch, however: You and/or your spouse’s income is too high to meet eligibility requirements. A Roth conversion strategy could be an option.

Eligibility for 2014 Roth contributions starts to phase out at a modified adjusted gross income of $114,000 and is completely eliminated at $129,000 for singles and between $181,000 and $191,000 for married couples filing jointly. If you make too much to contribute to a Roth, a Roth conversion strategy may provide an option to enjoy the long term tax benefits of a Roth IRA. Here’s one possibility: Step 1: Contribute to a nondeductible traditional IRA. You don’t get a tax deduction for doing so, but there’s no income limit either.

Step 2: Convert to a Roth. There’s no income ceiling for a Roth conversion, but you do have to pay taxes on any gains for the year you make the conversion. If there are no gains, there are no taxes owed since contributions are made with after-tax dollars. So, if you are going to convert, it’s best to do it as soon as possible.

Step 3: Enjoy your new Roth. Your money will now be growing tax-free and you’ll pay no income tax when you make qualified withdrawals.

Warning: If you have made any non-deductible IRA contributions, the Pro-Rata Rule requires all IRAs to be treated as one, including traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs. Under these circumstances, it is not possible to convert after-tax (non-deductible) contributions without income tax consequences. You should always consult with your tax, legal, and investment professionals before making investment decisions. This is especially true if you would like to consider using the Roth conversion technique described in this article. State Farm agents do not provide tax, legal or investment advice.

A 10 percent tax penalty generally applies for withdrawals from tax-qualified products and/or non taxqualified annuities before age 59½.

CHURCH NEWS

Pastor Kenny’s sermon today was titled, “Our Relationship to Christ.” Scripture was taken from John 15: 1-11. Being in Christ, means family. Are you a fruit bearer? Abiding in Christ is to draw closer to Him, so close that your relationship with Him is intimate, one on one. God’s pruning us (cleansing us) to be better.

The closer we are to Him, the less pruning we need.

Without Jesus, we can’t bear fruit. Give glory to God by abiding in Him. Praise for both Brooke Rentschler being crowned Miss Paris and Autumn Taylor receiving awards for the Ola Mae Ball friendship honor and for highest ticket sales in the Miss Paris pageant, Greg Huffman’s continued health/physical success, Shane Powell’s rededication to Christ, Lexi Dunham being able to avoid injury in an accident, marriage union of Jessica and Chris Buffington, Kent Carman being cancer free and Laura Carman’s improved health!

Prayers for Kent Carman, Erion Bergmann, Bonnie Sudsberry, Cherie Graupman, Helen Sharp, Beverly Wandrey, Michelle Gallop, Charlotte Omer, Dallas Baker’s dad, Dale Brown, Sherron Melton, Shirley Holmes, Jesse Lewis, Sharon Henderson, Shane Powell.

We pray for hope and healing - we want it right now - but God has His own way and time - just wait and trust in Him!~ God can fix all things! Do you believe in the Resurrection? Jesus says “ I Am the Resurrection!” The beginning - the middle - the end... death has been defeated - death doesn’t get the last word - it’s only the beginning in heaven! In death there is life! God is working every day in ways that are wise... He came to show us not to be afraid of death - Be joyous because of Jesus’ life and death on the cross for you!

“Create In Me A Clean Heart” - sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “A Liable Asset” II Peter 1:5-8 -”But also for this reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6-to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7-to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8-For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

-The word ‘liable’ means to be obligated or responsible. The word ‘asset’ means useful; valuable. When we are obligated and responsible to add to our faith in Jesus Christ virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, we are an asset to the kingdom of God, as we fulfill its great commission.

PHS Grad Jon Gilliam goes out on top with Division II National Title Special to the Appeal by Denny Hollingsworth WARRENSBURG — Few student athletes end their playing careers winning a national title, but Jon Gilliam, of Paris, got to experience just that Saturday, March 29 as he and his University of Central Missouri (UCM ) Mules basketball teammates won the NCAA Division II championship.

The Mules won their school’s second Division II title, in 30 years, with a 8477 win over West Liberty University, of West Virginia, at the Ford Center, in Evansville, Indiana.

Getting to the national tournament turned out to be harder than some Mules fans thought it would be.

After finishing the regular season with a 24-4 record and their conference’s championship, the Mules lost their first round conference tournament game and ranked only 20th in the nation. Despite their loss, the NCAA picked them to play in the 64-team national tourney. UCM preceeded to win six consecutive games, defeating three teams ranked higher than them—including the number one, four and seven squads—to capture the championship.

Saturday’s game was akin to a heavy weight boxing championship match, where the two opponents stand in the middle of the ring, toe-to-toe, slugging it out and the winner is not known until the last seconds of the last round, when there’s a knockout.

West Liberty led early, by as much as nine points, before UCM drew even.

The contest featured 14ties and nine lead changes before Gilliam’s teammate, Daylen Robinson, put UCM ahead to stay with 5:31 to play, by hitting a

three-pointer, giving the Mules a 71-68 lead. The nationally televised game, on CBS, was close until the final 60-seconds when the Mules knocked out the Hilltoppers. Gilliam scored six points in the game, going two for six from the three-point line.

Jon said he sensed a lot of community support from both people in Warrensburg and Paris in the title game.

“It felt like a home game,” he said. “The told us 4,500 people of the 7,500 in attendance were Central Missouri fans. I got a lot of texts from Paris people wishing me good luck and saying they were going to be there, or watching on TV. I didn’t have time to answer everybody, but I appreciated them.”

POST GAME PARTY LAST TWO DAYS The Mules and their fans had a long celebration on the floor after the game.

Gilliam said they spent an hour on the court savoring the victory. There was a trophy presentation, nets were cut from the rims with Jon, being a team captain, leading the way, a team photo was taken and then players posed individually with friends and family while holding the national championship trophy.

Jon said he had mixed emotions after the contest.

“I didn’t want to leave the court, and after we got to the locker room, I wore my uniform as long as I could; I knew I’d never wear one again. It’s a weird feeling, you’ve won a national championship, which makes you feel great, but then at the same time you know you’ll never play competitive again, which is not great.”

The Mules arrived in Warrensburg at 1:30 a.m.

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, April 6. This Sunday was communion Sunday.

The ushers for this weeks service were John Gilmore and Larry Turner. Patti Grimmett led the congregation into worship service with, “Fairest Lord Jesus,.” The Call to Worship was from Psalm 130. The beginning hymn was, “What Wondrous Love Is This?” Pastor John Grimmett led the congregation in a unison prayer.

Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns. He gave a pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. Pastor John Grimmett read the scripture reading from John 11. He also gave the message, “A Matter of Life or Death: Part 5 Like Lazarus. “ The special music piece, “Song of the Disciples” was performed by the Patti Grimmett. The closing hymn was, “An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare.” Patti Grimmett led the congregation out of worship service with, “Ever Faithful, Even Near.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, April 13, 2014. Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m. Anyone is welcome to attend

bus ride, and met by 500 fans for an impromptu pep rally. The next day, the team was treated to a mile-long parade and then was greeted to a sold-out pep rally crowd in UCM’s Multipurpose Arena, that seats 6,500 for basketball.

Gilliam said he was so excited about the win Saturday and reception the team received after arriving back in Warrensburg, he didn’t sleep for two days.

TWO BROTHERS AND A BASKETBALL Jon’s road to a national championship began more than a decade and a half ago, in the driveway of his parents’ home, in Paris, when what his mother, Debbie, has told friends, he and his two-year older brother, Joe, went one-onone in basketball every day before school.

As a seventh and eighth grader, when he wasn’t playing on the junior high team, Jon sat on Paris High School’s bench watching his dad, Bob, coaching Coyote basketball and Joe playing, itching at the opportunity to join his brother on the varsity. The brothers Gilliam did spent two years playing together as varsity teammates, a time Jon cherishes. Joe Gilliam has just finished a masters degree in civil engineering at University of Missouri, is working in the engineering field and living in St. Louis.

Jon Gilliam is arguably the best basketball player that ever come out of PHS. He’s the all-time career, season and single game scoring leader, and he led his teammates in scoring all four years. In his senior season, the Coyotes won the school’s first MSHSAA district tournament in a quarter of a century – came within a point of going to the Class I Final Four – and his alma mater hasn’t been in such a position since.

Four years removed from PHS, the former 5’11” 160-pound point guard has turned into a 6’2” 190-pound shooting guard and role player.

COLLEGE BALL AT JUCO LEVEL He began his college basketball career at Moberly Area Community College (MACC) and like high school, started all 56 games the two years he was with the Greyhounds, but he went from averaging 25 points a games in high school to scoring 7.3 average per game at Moberly.

Gilliam said it was hard for him to adjust going from playing high school basketball at Paris to junior college (JUCO).

“The players are so much faster, stronger and athletic at the JUCO level than what I was used to playing at Paris,” he said. “A lot of JUCO players would be at Division I schools if it hadn’t been for grades or other issues. At Paris, I was one of the taller guys on the court, could drive the lane and get a short shot, sometimes get my own rebound. In JUCO ball, I was one of the shortest and had to develop my long range jump shot.”

“I like to win, so scoring fewer points than my teammates doesn’t bother me at all,” Jon states emphatically.

“There was a couple times this year I was the leading scorer in games, and that’s fun, but I’d rather score nothing and win than 20 and lose.”

“In college ball, you have a role to play, and you’ve got to be able to accept that. A lot of guys can’t, or won’t, and don’t make it. Our team this year, we had 12 guys that any one of us could lead the team in scoring on a particular night.”

Playing at Moberly allowed his family the opportunity to attend both many home and away games and even though Warrensburg was a couple hours father

west, his parents continued following the Mules when he transferred to the Warrensburg university. Jon said it particularly pleased him that his mother was able to attend several weekend games this year and his dad, a retired Monroe City High School principal, went to all 35 UCM games.

DIVISION II BASKETBALL WAS THE PERFECT FIT After his JUCO career, Gilliam could have joined several mid-major Division I basketball teams, but even then he was thinking of playing on a national championship team.

“How many mid-major teams make the (NCAA) Division I tournament?” he asks rhetorically. “And no mid-major has won a D-1 championship. I could have gone to one, sat on the bench more than I would have played, but that wasn’t my goal, I wanted to win a national championship and I thought the best chance of winning one was with Coach Kim Anderson.”

Jon said his dad knew Anderson, a University of Missouri star from the 1970s, whom many believe should be coaching the Tigers today, had great respect for him and recommend that Jon join the Mules if he got the chance.

In his dozen years at UCM, Anderson has 75-percent winning record and has led his Mules to three Division II Final Fours. Gilliam knew if he went to UCM he would be eventually joining several of his former MACC teammates and a assistant Greyhound coach. “I’m so glad Coach Anderson offered me a spot. I thought, ‘If you can’t win a championship at Warrensburg’ I’d never be a part of one as a player.’”

DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE The first season at UCM, 2012-13, was the first time in his basketball career, that then totaled eight years, Jon Gilliam wasn’t in the starting lineup. The college junior and first year Division II player only got into 17 games and scored 65 points, averaging 3.8 a game.

“We had a senior-heavy team,” Gilliam says of his first year at Warrensburg, and he describes Division II basketball as one of being more complex than JUCO. “Division II basketball is very structured, more disciplined than JUCO ball and very physical. Defense is really stressed and the coaches break the game down into segments.”

Jon impressed Kim Anderson in his first year as a substitute enough that this season he was the only Mule to start all 35 games, and finished second on the team in minutes played, despite suffering a right shoulder injury in early January. The former Paris

Coyote and Moberly Greyhound ended up averaging six points a game, and led his teammates in threepoint shooting, 61 of 148, averaging a stellar .412 average from long distance.

Kim Anderson has a reputation of being a de-

fense-minded coach and Jon says he can attest to that.

“If you’re on Coach Anderson team, you’ve got to play defense or you don’t play, and defense is what won us the championship Continued to page 12 20127 Monroe Road 445, Paris, Mo.:

The untimely death of a young Madison man, Zachary “Zac” Dawson, 26, the son of Maurice “Gus” and Cindy (Johnson) Dawson of Madison, has been undergoing investigation by the Missouri Hwy. Patrol, Troop B, along with the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department.

Two suspects — Jason L. Lage of Columbia and Jessica (Derboven) Munoz of Moberly — have been held in the Randolph County Justice Center in connection with Dawson’s case.

The Honorable Judge Michael Wilson entered the Monroe County Circuit Courtroom, Paris, Tuesday afternoon (April 1) for a joint preliminary hearing for Lage (who is being held for Tampering With Physical Evidence in Felony Prosecution [Felony D], and Tuesday, a charge of Unlawful Possession Of a Firearm [Felony C] was added) and Munoz (who is being held for Hindering Prosecution of Felony [Felony D]). Jonathan Hoover is Lage’s attorney. Raymond Legg is Munoz’s.

Judge Wilson explained the Preliminary Hearing is to determine probable cause, which is far less than reasonable doubt.

It was an emotional time for all concerned.

Monroe County Dispatcher Si Fields took the stand. He identified the 911 disk pertaining to Dawson’s death on Feb. 19, 2014, after which, such was played in the courtroom. Having served as dispatcher for three years, when he received the 911 call from Jessica (Derboven) Munoz, he took command of the situation.

“My friend shot himself,” said Munoz, on the call.

Fields told her to say calm, asked her name, and asked where the house was located in Madison. He named familiar sites in Madison, including Hwy. 24 and Casey’s, but she replied, “I don’t live in Madison. I don’t know where Casey’s is in Madison.”

Fields instructed Munoz to

go outside and stand at the edge of the street, as the Randolph County Ambulance and the local Sheriff ’s Department were on the way.

Fields asked several times, “Is there anybody with you?”

Each time, Munoz answered, “No”.

“Is there anybody outside with you?” said Fields, on the call. Again Munoz answered, “No.” Fields continued to direct Munoz: “You have to stay there. You cannot leave.”

He told her to say calm, and asked if she was doing okay.

During Tuesday’s hearing, Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Talley Kendrick asked Fields, “Were you able to hear someone else in the background?”

Fields answered, “Yes.” He then stated he spoke to no one else on the phone.

Criminal Investigator Amanda Sapp, with the Missouri State Hwy. Patrol – Troop B, was on-call officer that week.

When Sapp arrived at the Dawson residence, Dawson had already been transported by ambulance for medical treatment.

There was a lot of blood, and items on a table and throughout the house were in disarray. Sapp was told it was a suicide, but was also told things did not appear to be a normal suicide.

Sapp collected evidence at the scene, and spoke to several individuals. It was learned Zachary Dawson was deceased.

Medical reports determined through x-rays that a gunshot entered the back left part of Dawson’s skull, and exited the top right. He was right handed. Sapp said Tuesday that it was nearly impossible to self inflict in that manner, if such. Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Kendrick asked, “How far away was the gun?” Sapp answered, “It was close.”

It was also stated that Lage is left-handed.

A “Deputy Mattingly”

gave the gun to the Highway Patrol. Sapp said they recovered a 40-caliber semi-automatic Beretta at the scene.

The clip was in the pistol at that time.

Before speaking to Munoz at the Monroe County Courthouse, Sapp conducted an investigation at the house and interviewed people at the courthouse, gaining knowledge of what happened.

Munoz revealed that earlier that day, there was another party at the residence.

She said they were sitting around the table when Dawson loaded he gun and handed it to Lage. She got up and went to the restroom and heard a gunshot. When she came out, she saw blood. She stated the gun was in Lage’s hand the last time she saw the gun.

The following day, Lage was located.

He didn’t want to be identified as being there, it was noted. Lage gathered things and used his coat to close the door on his way out. He left the house and dumped items into a ditch and walked towards the fire station. He walked to Moberly on Hwy. 24.

Lage was contacted at a residence, and was later interviewed at the Moberly Police Station. He did say he handled the gun, and pointed it at the wall.

Lage signed forms given to him with his left hand, and Sapp also stated she saw him drawing with his left hand.

Sapp stated Dawson was not suicidal, and was a happy-go-lucky person.

It was determined the three had been drinking, but the autopsy results on Dawson have yet to be received.

Judge Wilson concluded enough evidence had been presented and a felony had been committed. Lage and Munoz will next appear in court Thursday, April 3, at 10 a.m. Their bond will continue.

this year.”

“West Liberty averaged 100-points a game and we held them to the lowest amount of points they scored all year. Four of the six teams we beat in the D2 tournament we’d never seen, and that’s all to the credit of Coach Anderson and his staff.”

“We played six tournament games in 14 days and we were prepared for everyone. We watched two hours of game film against every team before we played them, and Coach Anderson and the coach-

ing staff had watched them before we did. He and his staff are awesome. They’d broke down every thing for us; we knew the strengths and weaknesses of every player of every team we played; I don’t think Coach Anderson slept for those two weeks, he didn’t have the time; if he did he didn’t sleep too much.”

IN THE FUTURE Generally, Jon, 22, spends his summers in Paris, working for Paul Allgood in the yard service business and playing in the local softball league;

he’ll have to forgo that this summer as he attends UCM summer school, finishing his degree in Physical Education and Health Science. He hopes to parlay his playing experience and degree into being a head college basketball coach.

“Coaching’s a stressful life but I want to do it,” Gilliam said. “I been around the game so long; I enjoy being around it, there’s no way I can go away from it.”

He knows he’ll need a masters degree to coach at the college level, and is hoping Kim Anderson will

employ him as a Mules assistant next season, giving him the chance to work on his advanced degree and get coaching experience.

If that doesn’t turn out?

“I got offered an assistant coaching job yesterday at a good JUCO,” Jon told an interviewer last Thursday. “One way or an other, I think it’s all going to work out.”

The consensus of his Paris fans is that Jon Gilliam will eventually have as much success coaching as he has had playing.
