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

We are on the map... We are certainly on the map after sitting and watching a huge crowd gather for George Hodgman’s signing and reading at the Paris Dulany Memorial Library on Thursday, April 23 sponsored by the Friends of the Paris Dulany Memorial Library.

Mr. Hodgman, a consummate wordsmith and native son has brought fame to our small town through his career path and most recently through his authoring of “Bettyville.” This tome has garnered indescribable positive reviews and currently is nestled on the New York Times Best Seller list.

Local residents such as Roseanne Raines have been thrilled to see and be recorded by CBS Sunday Morning film crews that have been following Mr. Hodgman for an upcoming segment and have been roaming around Paris and the surrounding communities.

Mr. Hodgman’s humility was witnessed as he began his reading with a dedication to his mother - Betty who was in attendance and of course the subject of his book.

The reading was a blend of awe in the writing, laughter in the humor and appreciation in the subject matter. You could hear a pin drop in the 150+ audience as he read each passage. Upon the utterance of the words, “my town, my home,” the assembled bolted out of their seats to give Mr. Hodgman a well deserved standing raucous round of applause.

Credit should be given in large volumes to the Friends of the Library who not only sponsored this amazing presentation but also for the good deeds that this group, now doubled in numbers after their mem-

bership drive during the event, perform for the library and for the community.

This group is currently led by President Anita Ness, Vice President Tammy Robertson, Secretary Jan Wiley and Treasurer Ruth Mallory. Ina Rae Brazeale was the out going president and much was accomplished under her reign.

The group has added numerous books to the library which currently contains 25,211 items for use of local residents.

They have also built a bicycle rack and other exterior improvements to the library.

“We are here to help the library in any way we can,” said Friends President Anita Ness.

The Paris National Bank recently raised and donated $1,100+ to the library to help increase their large print collection of books for readers.

Again, these are just two more examples of the support and help local organizations give back to their community and in turn help each of our residents both young and old.

Thank you to Mr. Hodgman for his wonderful book and thank you to each of the Friends of the Library for their caring and supportive help.

Visit one of Little Dixie Library branches soon including Paris, Madison, Huntsville or Moberly you will be glad you did!

Have a great day!

10th District Senate Capitol Report

by Senator Jeanie Riddle

Noranda Fights for Lower Rates While Missourians Suffer the Repercussions Last year, Noranda Aluminum, an aluminum smelter in southeast Missouri, filed a complaint against Ameren Missouri requesting a reduced electric rate of $30 per megawatt, paired with an increase to other Ameren Missouri customer’s rates in order to compensate lost revenue. Although the Public Service Commission (PSC) unanimously dismissed the case, both parties were urged to pursue a compromise.

This year, Noranda Aluminum has once again turned to the PSC in efforts to receive lower rates. Currently, Noranda pays a rate of almost $43 per megawatt and claims their smelters cannot continue to be sustained without power rate relief.

The Public Service Commission met Wednesday (4/22) to discuss the proposed rate shift and during their agenda meeting requested an order be drafted to reduce Noranda Aluminum’s rate to $36 per megawatt.

They will have the ability to approve the drafted agenda on April 29th.

Currently, Ameren Missouri residential customers pay approximately ten cents per kilowatt. If the PSC approves the new order for Noranda Aluminum’s rate reduction, their new rate would be 3.6 cents per kilowatt.

The governor issued a letter to the PSC endorsing Noranda’s request and recommended granting Noranda a rate of $34 per megawatt for a 10-year period.

Considering Noranda’s smelter accounts for the largest electricity consumption in Missouri, this rate cut would result in annual costs estimated at $25 million that Ameren’s other customers would be required to cover.

It is unfair and irresponsible to expect the overwhelming majority of Ameren Missouri customers to carry the burden of higher electricity rates, while Noranda enjoys a significantly reduced electric bill.

Athletic Budget: Athletic Director Wade Billington presented the 2015-2016 athletic budget to the board members.

The board members accepted the budget as presented. The proposal included a new $2 rate for seniors and an increase in the yearly pass by $5 to $140 a year.

Lunch Prices: The board members unanimously voted to increase the lunch and breakfast prices by $.05 for the 2015-2016 school year.

New prices: Elementary – Breakfast $1.15; Lunch $1.40 and Adult $1.45.

Junior High and High School - Breakfast $1.50; Lunch $1.75 and Adult $2.00.

It was noted that the district is supposed to be closing the gap between what the USDA pays for free and reduced lunches and what the district charges. Superintendent Dr. Johnson noted that with a five cent increase the district would be close to closing the gap. She explained to the board members that the reduced cost of 40 cents is moot because most of the district’s free and reduced students that participate in this program many are free and just a few reduced.

mittee, consisting of board members, staff, maintenance director and someone who knows schools that can walk through the facilities and to discuss future facility needs. Board members Ted DeOrnellis, Glenda Miller and Jamie Ebbesmeyer volunteered to be on the committee.

Dr. Johnson noted that the district is in the position to do a $1.6 million dollar bond issue with no tax increase involved.

Bond Issues: Dr. Johnson discussed with board members about eventually refinancing one of the school’s bonds. However, she suggested that the board members put off that decision at present.

Salary: Members of the CTA Salary and Welfare Committee, Gretchen O’Bryan and David Freitag discussed their suggestions for the 2015-2016 salary increases with the board members. O’Bryan and Freitag gave a thorough and complete presentation to the board members including comprehensive printouts detailing other districts, both larger and smaller, present salary schedules. The duo suggested that after discussing this item with their committee members they were recommending a $1,000 raise to the base and a $250 increase at a new first step across the board.

After their approved closed session, the board members unanimously voted to add $500.00 to the base and an additional $250.00 across on the salary schedule for 2015-2016 school year.

Snow Days: During the salary presentation it was also noted by Gretchen O’Bryan and David Freitag that the teachers would like a clearer definition of snow make-up days for teachers and how they can make up these days.

After closed session the board members voted unanimously to allow all the teachers to accrue time to be used as snow days in no less than ½ day increments starting August 1, 2015, to be used for snow days with no carry over after current school year ends.

Bank Bids: The board member unanimously approved the RFP for bank bids for a five year bid

starting July 2015.

Bus Bids: The board member unanimously approved the RFP for bus bids for a new bus.

Dr. Johnson noted that she had included $80,000 in her budget for a bus and that the district would be getting rid of two buses, one replaced by the new bus, and the other was extra due to the reduction of a bus route.

Superintendent Report and Communications: Dr. Johnson presented the Superintendent’s report to the Board of Education members. It was noted that the next regular board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, at 6 p.m.

Principal Reports: Secondary Principal Chris Willingham presented the junior high and high school reports to the Board of Education members. Principal Willingham extolled the success of the FBLA and FFA programs to the board members.

Elementary Principal Troy Patterson presented the Elementary School report to the Board of Education members.

Principal Patterson noted that the MAP recognition luncheon and program was a huge success. He praised the hard work of all his staff, noting Hanna Snider for her hard work as testing coordinator and Doug Turner for his tech help.

The board members reported the following out of the approved closed session: accepted the resignation of David Freitag effective at the end of the 2014-2015 school year; accepted the resignation of Sharon Krager effective at the end of the 20142015 school year; offered extra duty contracts for the 2015-2016 school year to all recommended employees as presented, excluding High School and Junior High track; and approved the hiring of Brody Lehenbauer for 2015 summer help at $9 per hour.

All votes were unanimous.

The board members made a motion to continue current employment of Brenda Bragg. The motion failed unanimously.

Sen. Jeanie Riddle

Continued from page 2

Missouri currently has thousands of businesses, senior citizens and residents who have fixed incomes and may not be able to pay increased electric rates. A decision that is an equivalent to a subsidy, which would affect all of Ameren Missouri’s businesses and residents should not be made by an unelected board in the executive branch, but rather by elected members of the General Assembly. I, along with five of my fellow senators, sent correspondence to the Governor and PSC Commissioners expressing these concerns.

The Public Service Commission can still take public commentary on this proposed order. I encourage Ameren Missouri customers, or anyone who sees this as an improper decision for the PSC to make, to contact the PSC before April 29th at 1-800-392-4211 or email at pscinfo@psc.mo.gov.

It is an honor to be your State Senator and my door is always open to your concerns, questions or comments.

Please feel free to contact me at (573) 751-2757 or visit my web page at www.senate.mo.gov/riddle.

DECORATIVE CONCRETE

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Everyone wants her or his wedding to come off without a hitch. Take extra precautions as you plan to help avoid problems on the big day.

Do your homework. Whether you’re using local or online retailers, do your homework before you buy.

Don’t rely solely on an attractive website as an indication of quality service. Ask friends if they know of the company, and request references from the retailer.

Also research the company to see if any complaints have been filed against it with business or consumerprotection groups.

Compare your options. As you talk with various vendors, keep track of the details on a worksheet that lets you thoroughly compare their offerings. Beyond the basics of price and availability, note specific details such as their cancellation or refund policies, whether or not they plan to subcontract any portion of the services and if they’re currently and appropriately licensed.

Always read contracts. Insist on a written contract for any service you retain, and make sure all the details of your agreement—including dates, times and prices—are correct before you sign. Also make sure the contract spells out delivery arrangements, vendor duties and responsibilities, and payment terms as well.

Consider using a credit card. Credit cards make it easier to track your event deposits and purchases, especially if you conduct some transactions well in advance of the wedding. Cards also provide more protection than checks or cash in the event of a disputed charge.

And don’t forget to ask your State Farm® agent for a review of the insurance coverages you may need as a newly married couple.

CHURCH NEWS

The congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered for worship on April 26 as pianist, Sally Blakemore, performed the prelude. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. A letter of thanks for the church’s donation to Woodhaven was shared.

Happy birthday wishes were for: Mary McMorris, Phil Willoughby, Aileen Putnam, Mendy Blades, Fred Sillin and Nicki Ragsdale. Happy anniversary wishes were for Dwain and Linda Wilkerson (42 years). The opening hymn, “The Light of the World is Jesus”, was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Ann Ragsdale, Gerald Roberts, Larry Parrott, Dorothy Smith and for Little Mac Donovan who was injured. Raylee Griffith shared her joy of attending the Daddy-Daughter Dance with Papa Nellis Kotsenburg. The joy of the wedding of Kyle Mitchell and Ashley Garnett was shared. Sympathy was extended to the families of Selma Lou Griffith, Darlene Dawson and Claire Elsberry.

The prayer hymn, “Teach Me to Pray”, was sung; singing was followed by a moment of meditation during the final verse then by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

Elders, Gary Wilson and Guy Callison, went forward to serve as the communion hymn, “Break Thou the Bread of Life” was sung. Gerald Roberts and Darold Thrasher were deacons. Sharing of communion and offering collection completed the communion service.

The doxology was sung.

“Being a Sheep” was the morning message from Reverend Holmes. Scripture from John 10:11-18 was read.

Without Jesus as our shepherd, we are not going anywhere and not able to accomplish anything in life that matters. If you want to make a difference in the world, listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd. By following Jesus, our lives are not in vain, He gives us the power to be happy and content and will lead us to heaven. Do you hear his voice calling His sheep today?

The congregation stood to sing the closing hymn, “This Is My Father’s World”. Singing was followed by prayer and “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and to enjoy refreshments, Jim McMorris opened Bible Study with prayer.

Mendy Blades shared a message, which dissected the Lord’s Prayer line by line. Berna Kotsenburg read “Jesus is the Vine” from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”. The group was then led by Jim in the study of Romans Chapter 10.

Services begin are held at 9:30 a.m., each week followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

On April 26 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church activities of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: May 3 morning service will have Joyful Sound performing with a carry-in dinner after. May 9 at 8:30 a.m., is Men’s Breakfast, May 10 is Mother’s Day, and May 16 at 6 p.m., is Movie and Pizza Night.

The message was titled ‘Biblical Marriage’ and came from Ephesians 5:21-33 and Genesis 2. The Christian idea of marriage is to come from the Bible and Jesus, not from the world. Man’s laws and Supreme Court rulings do not change what God has to say or change the way Christians are to believe – PERIOD! Apostle Paul looked to Scripture to get his teaching on marriage. Genesis 2 tells how two people become one flesh. God paraded animals in front of Adam to show they were not right as a help mate to him. When God created Eve out of Adam’s rib and presented her to him, Adam’s joy showed knew he had the right help mate, someone similar but very different. God made a woman for Adam and this is the institution of marriage.

Apostle Paul also looked to Christ on the subject of marriage. Eph.1:23 says we are ‘all one body in Christ’.

Christ will present the Church to Himself as a perfect bride at His second coming. Just a man and woman become one, Christ and the Church will also become one.

Here is the great mystery of marriage; God patterned it after the union of Christ and the Church. Biblical marriage is not of the world and made up of any number or type of participants. Marriage is a man and woman becoming one like Christ and the Church.

Marriage is a symbol of Christ’s relation to His people. God does not do thing willy-nilly. God’s actions have purpose and not finding His purposes in life is the shortcoming of the modern Church. Paul goes on the show how the wife is a type of Church and the husband is a type of Christ. Both have a responsibility of submission to the other for the benefit of self and the other.

“As to the Lord” in V33 shows the limit of submission for the wife. She is not to replace Christ with her husband nor is she to follow him into sin. Yet she can have a submission attitude that shows she does not like having to rebel from his sinfulness. The husband is to be willing to die for his wife as Christ did for the Church. Not just a physical death but also a death to self while living.

The main reason marriages are not joyful is because they are selfish and sinful. Submitting to each other to bring out the best in each other is to bring the Christian the greatest joy. Christ died for the Church that she might be cleansed and presented as perfect to Him. The Church greatest joy is to submit and follow Christ as Lord and Savior; which make Christ happiest. God made man and woman to come together to be conduit of grace to one another. This only works if we follow God’s plan. The world can be enticing and crafty in the way things are presented but God always has the truth that gives the abundant life promised.

“Love, The Brotherly Way” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon taken from Luke 10:25-37 - the Good Samaritan story. He based her sermon off of three questions -- 1) Should it matter who it is we help? 2) Should we always help? 3) Is it your purpose for self gain or for God’s glory to help another? We should not pick and choose who to help or not help. Everyone should be treated equally and in love. We should help others for God’s glory - not just to look good for ourselves. Never do it for self gain! Be sure to always keep each other in prayer. Jesus died for us even though we were still sinners. Look around and see who you can help. Be there for each other!! Don’t worry about what others think of you when helping -- this is a ministry. Build each other up instead of tearing down. Love one another!

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Bob Conley, Jim Booth, Charlie Horstmeier, Don Wilkerson, David Kendrick and Dan Sharp.

Prayers were requested for many friends and family members as well as traveling mercies. Prayers were also requested for our country, Israel, our youth, and those affected by the earthquake in Nepal. Thank you notes were read from Janeen Scobee in remembrance of her mother and for her recent surgery. Others expressing thanks were Maddie Baumbaugh and Willene Asbury through Joyce Lewis. Graduation invitations were read for Sierra Brown for May 16 and Brooke Rentschler for May 17.

The Salt Saturday Youth group will be serving the Monroe County Democrat Club a lasagna supper on Tuesday, April 28. They visited with the Monroe Manor residents this past Saturday and read scriptures to them.

They look forward to this ministry each time they go.

Upcoming events: Thursday, May 7 - National Day of Prayer (please help to fill the 24 - one hour slots for that day); VBS will be held the week of May 25 - 29. Many volunteers are needed for the week as teachers, assistants, etc. There will be a place for anyone who offers to help.

Sunday School is held every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:30 a.m. There is a Sunday School class for every age. Bible study is on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. (carry in meal at 6 p.m.) with the study starting Isaiah this week. Please come and join us.

Greetings from Faith Walk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

Prayer: Eld. Helen Fugate Scripture: Min. Deb Adams Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “There is hope in God” “And he said, the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; the God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; thou savest me from violence. I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”- II Samuel 22:2-4 As we, see the news, it seems everything is uncertain at some point, deadly sickness is ravaging entire regions, financial systems are becoming bankrupt the prevailing political climate in many countries is unstable. Even in the Christian world, many are being persecuted and even martyred, and in some may circles Christians are dealing with so much stress and the circumstances look so grim, yet we have something greater than our circumstance, there is hope that is genuine and true and that is only in God can one find and have it.

“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust I him. For who is God, save the Lord? And who is a rock, save our God? God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.”–II Samuel 22:31-33. “Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth, and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. Surely, every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what wait I for?”-Pslams 39:4-7 Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us!

Weekly service is times: Tuesday at 7 p.m. Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you.

Granville Christian Church will celebrate Mother’s Day a week early, on Sunday, May 3, at 11 a.m. worship.

Mothers of all ages will be recognized. Our interactive sermon will be “When Jesus Disappeared.” Our adult sermon will be: “Into Thin Air,” Acts 1:9-11.

The Granville Church annual congregational meeting will also be held before worship at 10:30-11 a.m.

Sunday, May 3. All members are urged to be there as we will be voting on new Bylaws. We will also elect deacons and elders and officers for the 2015-16 church year. Copies of the proposed Bylaws may be obtained by contacting Rick Baldwin or Rodney Coffman. For copies by email, contact Dale Ann Magruder at damagruder@yahoo.com.

A craft show will be held May 23 at the Madison Community Center to benefit Relay. This is the same day as the all-town garage sale. Crafters, please contact Lacey Shumard for more information. We have cookbooks available, with the proceeds going to Relay for Life. Contact Dale Ann Magruder for those.

We have now sent a total of 185 care packages to servicemen and women in the combat zones since 2002.

Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses.

Come spend an hour in worship and praise of the One who created you and constantly re-creates you (May 3, 17 and 31). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.

Spring is the time to celebrate graduates (8th grade, senior, and college). Those graduating from 8th grade are Ian Chase, Jessie Hoffman, Charles Robertson, Sarah Stahlschmidt and Charity Morris. Graduates from 12th grade are Katie Allison, Alex Dreckshage, Stephen Hammond, Michaela Harrison, Jacob Major, and Wesley Luttrell. College graduates are Shelby Detienne, Robyn Havens and Aryah Jordan. A carry-in meal was served at 12:15 p.m. They each received a Bible.

Cheryl Gholson gave the children’s sermon. She had a garment bag which covered a graduation gown and hat. The children could not guess what was in there and were surprised when she revealed a graduate gown and hat. She dressed one of the children in the gown and hat and asked the others if she was ready to graduate. They said she was not old enough (4th grade) and needed to learn more. She asked them if they knew their ABC’s. She explained the ABC’s of becoming a Christian are A- Admit - Tell God you have sinned and ask for forgiveness. B-Believe that Jesus is the Son of God and C-Confess the Lord as your Savior.

The children sang with the congregation singing “Lord I Lift Your Name on High”. Shirley Loar and Lindsey Mitchell led children’s church. Special music was provided by the adult choir, “Hosanna”.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Acts 4:23-31 and was titled “Prayer That Shakes Things Up.” Only those who seek the Lord are doing the Lord’s Will; not people who go through a religious activity without seeking God. The disciples had been warned not to teach about Jesus or heal in his name. Fearful as they were they first went to God and shared the desires of their heart. They addressed God as “Master”. In verse 29, they ask God to enable them to speak His word with boldness, After they prayed the place was shaken and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God boldly.

Concluding the service David Hoffman came forward requesting baptism. Heather Hoffman came forward asking for membership.

She also gave a skit, with the assistance of several men from the congregation, on the Bible story of the miraculous catch of fish for the Children’s Message, which was based on John 21:1-14.

Thought for the week: God owes us nothing, but He gives us everything.

The Sunday, April 26 worship service for the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “Revive Us Again.” Pastor Nancy Kellstrom gave the welcome and announced she would be going to the General Assembly as our representative and another representative would be welcome. The sign up for the golf tournament is ready.

Mary Lee has a birthday on April 28 and they will celebrate their wedding anniversary on the 29th. Bill Wright is also home after a long hospital stay. Nana Hicklin Smith (May 8), Marj Schutte (May 7) and JoAnne Bumgarner (May 9) will be celebrating birthdays.

Our Prayer Hymn was “Beulah Land”. Added to the prayer list is Kay Ragon, Richard Poyser, Dorothy Woodhurst, Kim Smoot, Jessica Ferry and Joseph Perrigo. Our sympathy is for the Colleen Kuda and Randy Smith families. The choir response was “Let the Words of My Mouth”.

Pastor gave the invitation for the Lord’s Supper. “One Day” was sung before sharing the Holy Communion.

Elders Arlen Provancha and Greg Harrison offered the prayers.

The choir’s special music was “I Love to Tell the Story”. They were accompanied by Cheri Provancha.

Alisha Eisele told how the shepherds used a crook to help lead their sheep and she likened the bible as the tool for Pastor Nancy to use in leading them. The children then thanked Pastor for being their shepherd.

1 John 3:16-24 was read by Nancy Seelow for Pastor Nancy’s sermon, “Love Is More Than a Four-Letter Word”. She described Agape love as Jesus’ sacrifice when He laid down His life for us. We are charged to show selfless love and “Love One Another”. Our weeks assignment is to show love by lifting our hands to help others.

“Like a Lamb Who Needs the Shepherd” was the invitation hymn, Our benediction emphasized ‘Go and do something nice for someone’. The service closed with singing “Take the Name of Jesus With You”.

SENIOR LIVING

Planning for Your Future

Aging happens naturally, but aging well takes careful planning. Look here each fifth week to take steps to ensure that your financial, living and medical needs will be met in old age.

Senior citizens who have already retired are leading the way in a resurgence of confidence about being able to afford their retirement years among both working and retired Americans. The researchers most be scratching their heads, however, since they say they are few signs they are taking the right steps to accomplish this challenge.

The 2015 survey was released by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute and Greenwald & Associates.

“Those without a retirement plan seem to understand they are likely to have difficulties accumulating adequate financial resources for retirement: 44 percent of workers without a retirement plan are not at all confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement, compared with only 14 percent of those who have a plan,” said Jack VanDerhei, EBRI research director and co-author of the report.

This confidence about being able to afford a comfortable retirement was at record lows from 2009 through 2013 but it has increased in 2014 and 2015, the survey reports.

Twenty-two percent are now very confident - up from 13 percent in 2013 and 18 percent in 2014.

Those saying they are “somewhat confident” has now reached 36 percent.

But still, 24 percent are not at all confident (statistically unchanged from 28 percent in 2013 and 24 percent in 2014).

Worker confidence in the affordability of various aspects of retirement has also rebounded. In particular, the percentage of workers who are very confident in their ability to pay for basic expenses has increased (37 percent, up from 25 percent in 2013 and 29 percent in 2014).

The percentages of workers who are very confident in their ability to pay for medical expenses (18 percent, up from 12 percent in 2011) and long-

term care expenses (14 percent, up from 9 percent in 2011) are slowly inching upward.

Confidence among retirees (which historically tends to exceed worker confidence levels) also increased in having a financially secure retirement, with 37 percent very confident (up from 18 percent in 2013 and 27 percent in 2014).

The percentage not at all confident was 14 percent (statistically unchanged from 14 percent in 2013 and 17 percent in 2014).

Workers are somewhat more confident that they are doing a good job of preparing financially for retirement: 25 percent are very confident in 2015 (up from 17 percent in 2013).

Overall, about two-thirds are somewhat or very confident about their financial preparations, while one third (32 percent) indicate they are not confident.

without a retirement plan, savings remain low and only a minority appears to be taking basic steps needed to prepare for retirement. Only 23 percent of those without a retirement plan have done retirement needs calculation and 64 percent without a retirement plan say they have saved less than $1,000.

Workers still expect to work longer to make up for any savings short falls.

However, many retirees continue to report that they retired before they expected to due to an illness or disability, needing to care for others, or because of a change at their job.

Consequently, relying on working longer is not a solid strategy for retirement preparedness.

Among the other major findings in this year’s RCS: Saving for retirement: Sixty-seven percent of workers report they or their spouses have saved for retirement (statistically equivalent to 64 percent in 2014), although nearly 8 in 10 (78 percent) full-time

The Paris Coyotes had a split week as they fell to Westran in a close game 7-5 and defeated Madison 4-1.

Westran Brant Francis pitched a good game surrendering 5 earned runs on 6 hits while striking out 4 and walking 5.

Offensively, the Coyotes had 7 hits with Jon Turner and Brant Francis each going 2 for 3 with Turner driving in 2 runs.

Collin Crook was 1 for 3 with a triple, double and 3 RBIs. Laine Forrest had a triple.

Coyote hits were: Francis 2, Tucker Gruber 1, Turner 2, Forrest 1 and Crook 1.

Driving in runs were Turner 2 and Crook 3.

Scoring runs were Slater Stone, Briar Hancock, Francis 2 and Turner.

Westran scored a single run in the first inning, 4 runs in the third and 2 in the fifth. Paris scored a four spot in the fourth and a single run in the sixth.

“We came up short last night against Westran in a very quality baseball game,” said Coach Mike Fible. “A majority of the ball game both teams played very quality baseball. Westran has a very good baseball team they put the ball in play well and make defensive plays when they need to. We didn’t hit the ball as well as we have been last night and I think part of that is having a week off since our last ball game. We had a few guys contribute offensively Jon Turner went 2-3 with 2 RBIs and Collin Crook went 1-3 with 3 RBIs and a sac fly in the 6th inning. Defensively we played another almost flawless ball game committing one error, Briar

Hancock and Jon Turner both made some fantastic plays throughout the game.”

Madison “Both teams played a quality game last night as we were able to come up with big defensively plays and clutch hits to come out on top,” said Coach Mike Fible. “Offensively our ability to play small ball was the difference.

Throughout the line-up we came up with quality at bats advancing runners and getting timely hits.

Collin Crook was the difference in the game going the distance. He allowed only one hit all night staying in the zone mixing up pitches nicely. It was good to see Collin come out with a quality start to begin the week. We have 5 games this week all against very good opponents; it’s always nice to get that first win of the week. Tomorrow night we travel to Salisbury to play game one of the L.C.C. tournament first pitch 6 p.m.”

Collin Crook pitched extremely well allowing only a single hit, a double to Jacob Wandrey, while striking out 7 and walking 4. He also hit four batters so there always seemed to be runners on base but his defense and timely strikeouts held Madison to only a single run. In the final inning the Panthers had the winning run at the plate, with bases loaded, but a nifty 6-4-3 double play, Brant Francis to Tucker Gruber to Jon Turner ended the threat and sealed the Coyote 4-1 win.

A Jon Turner double and a Brant Francis double led to a run while Briar Hancock, Francis and Laine Forest each added an RBI.

The Paris Coyotes participated in Lewis and Clark Conference Golf on Thursday, April 23.

The team finished in fifth place with 390 while Marceline finished atop of the conference with a 324.

Scoring for Paris were Teddy Ebbesmeyer 88,

Ben Ebbesmeyer 90, Jake Peak 99, Brett Mason 113, Shelby Powell-Wisdom 124, Dakota Anderson 144 and Bret Crigler 128.

Teddy Ebbesmeyer and Ben Ebbesmeyer were selected to the All Conference Second Team.

“There are over a hundred classes that people can take online,” said Librarian Hayden. “You can even learn languages.”

Moberly Young Adult Librarian Rachael Grime explained that the Paris Friends are integral to many things that the libraries do.

“We do many programs and projects for both youth and adults,” said Grime.

Grime explained about databases available at the library including the favorite genealogy database.

“Come visit us in the summer we have lots of fun,” said Grime.

Paris Librarian Sue Mattingly was introduced.

“We get lots of support from the Friends of the Library,” said Mattingly.

“Today we received a donation from The Paris National Bank for $1,100 for large type books.”

Librarian Mattingly explained to those in attendance about the library’s summer reading programs for both youth and adults.

After introducing the librarians, Secretary Jan Wiley read the minutes of the last meeting and Treasurer Ruth Mallory gave her report to the assembled.

The reports included numerous items that the Friends of the Library have purchased including a bike rack, flagpole, books both regular and large type for the book

clubs, a new clock, a bicycle and Kindle for summer reading prizes and are working on new carpet for the library.

President Ness noted that the Paris Library has 25,211 items for use including books, DVDs, tapes, etc., and that 2,291 patrons used the library last year.

President Ness introduced Mr. Hodgman to the standing room only crowd of over 150+.

“George is a gifted writer and I hope you recognize this,” said Ness.

“I think a lot of libraries and spent a lot of time at the Moberly Library when I was young and a lot of time in the Madison Library,” said Mr. Hodgman. “Libraries are where children imagine.”

“I want to dedicate this reading to my mother and to Carol Crigler who really helps us a lot,” noted Mr. Hodgman.

Hodgman read four or five passages from “Bettyville” to the assembled, sitting on the edge of their seats, catching every word.

To the line, “my town, my home” he received a huge standing ovation.

To end the program, Mr. Hodgman took questions and joked with the group including one asking if he has another book in him.

Look for additional coverage of Mr. Hodgman and “Bettyville” coming in an issue soon.

Praise Him! and four hymns selected by the congregation, “Sweet Hour of Prayer”, “To God Be the Glory”, “Blessed Redeemer”, and “O I Want to Be Like Jesus.” Special music for the morning was “Old Time Medley”, an a cappella duet by Debbie and Patti; “And All the People Said Amen”, a solo by Debbie; “How Great Thou Art”, a solo by Dennis Routt; “Savior”, written and performed by Grant VanBoening; “Heaven Medley” a solo by Patti; “Three Men on A Mountain”, a solo by Pastor John and “Where the Soul Never Dies” a duet by Pastor John and Patti. The Paris Presbyterian Church choir and the South Fork Singers, directed by Patti, combined and sang “Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer”, “Standing on the Promises”, “Hallelujah for the Cross”, and “Gloryland Medley.” Pastor John closed the service with a prayer and all retired to Roth Fellowship Hall for a wonderful brunch provided by the ladies of South Fork, as Patti played the postlude, “Soon and Very Soon.”

Services at South Fork are held each Sunday at 9 a.m.

ANTIQUES

Antiques or Junk?

In today’s modern world, you may describe just about anything that’s old as an antique and in generic terms that’s true.

In reality, antiques are products that are more than 100 years old or products that are rare enough to have some value. In other words, antiques are old items that are in limited supply. The more limited, the more antique the item.

Another way to think of antiques is as something collectible. Whether the item is a piece of furniture you want to collect to enhance the look of a room, a ceramic piece to decorate a corner cupboard, or some silverware you want to hand down to your grandchildren, the items must be rare enough to be considered antiques. Everything else is secondhand goods or junk.

One misconception people have about antiques is that the older they look, the more antique they must be.

Wrong! Appearance has nothing to do with it. Just because a piece looks like it came out of grandma’s attic doesn’t mean it’s an antique–even though grandma might be. Not in the true sense of the word.

If no one wants it, no matter how old it looks, it’s just a piece of junk. Antiques have value, and that value is based on demand

due to suitability and limited supply.

Most people become interested in antiques for one of two reasons: They either have an interest in collecting a particular type of antique purely for personal enjoyment–ceramics or pottery are the most common, or they inherit some items from a family member. But everyone wants to be sure of one thing—that what they buy or inherit will appreciate in value. That’s what antiques are all about, isn’t it? All those stories about people who buy some piece of junk at a garage sale that turns out to be a valuable antique worth thousands of dollars are really true, aren’t they?

And if they can do it, why can’t you?

But before you get your hopes up, you need to know something about what you have. Two principles apply when collecting antiques: Know everything you can about the antiques that interest you and obtain them at the lowest possible price. By doing so you will not only get maximum enjoyment out of owning the antique, but you’ll also be sure that your investment appreciates in value.

Many people, however, inherit an item or a whole house full of antiques from a relative. Just as many of those who do never had an interest in

antiques until their great aunt left them with a bundle of them. Then the dollar signs start to appear.

What most don’t consider is that much of what Great Auntie had is probably just junk, unless she was a seasoned collector and knew what she had. True, people could have bought furniture to decorate their homes a long time ago and that furniture, if it was of fine quality when new, would now be worth something.

But only a professional appraiser can tell you that. And appraising costs money–something like $100-150 an hour. So before you ask someone how much an item is worth, be prepared to shell out a few bucks for the information. The reason appraisers charge so much is that they do most of their work for insurance companies and lawyers settling estates. Appraising isn’t an exact science, but it requires an appraiser to do lots of research and then prepare a detailed report that’s accepted in a court of law.

So how do you do know if an item is an antique?

By learning as much as possible about the antiques you want to collect or have inherited. Libraries and bookstores aren’t much help. Row upon row of books cover every conceivable antique in the greatest detail. Books on pottery, glassware, antique dolls and even movie memorabilia fill shelves as far as the eye can see.

Not to mention the price guides: There are enough of them to sink a ship.

Just to get a simple overall understanding of antique collecting you’re going to have to spend a fortune at your favorite bookstore or spend every free evening browsing your favorite bookstore’s shelves.

What is an antique?

To anyone who browses antique shops these days the question “What is an antique?” seems to have many answers. Side by side with ancientlooking furniture and. old- fashioned china, browsers may find ruffled pink glass and souvenir spoons, no older than themselves. The problem bewilders not only buyers but dealers, too.

In 1930 the U.S. Government ruled that objects had to be at least a 100 old to be classified as antiques, so they could be admitted duty free into the U.S. But that was a legislative tax decision. Since then antiques have often

been defined as objects made before 1830.

In Europe, items as recent as that seem quite young. In contrast with a classic Roman head, an 18th-century chair is modern. Antique shops in European cities are often called “antiquities” shops.

Except for Indian relics and a few Spanish buildings in the Southwest, the oldest American antiques are but 300 years old.

Yet Americans experience the same contrast in their shops. To a New Englander who knows the pine furniture of Pilgrim days, a Victorian sofa doesn’t seem antique. But

in Nebraska or Oregon it does, because it represents the earliest furnishings in the region. The age of antiques seems to vary in relation to their environment. And so the perception of “What is antique?” changes from region to region and one part of the world to another.

Americans often count among their antiques items made by machine as well as those wrought by hand. Most of these are later than 1830. That date does, however, serve as a dividing line between the age of craftsmanship and the machine age.

Hay made in May is better any day, says MU forage specialist, so be ready April showers that drive corn farmers crazy make better grass, and hay, for livestock farmers.

Early grass growth made 200 pounds of dry matter per acre per day in early April. “That’s amazing,” says Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist.

“As expected, growth slowed to 100 pounds per day in late April,” he adds. “Three inches of growth a week takes intense management. But it allows making more nutritious hay early in May, the best haymaking month of the year.”

Photosynthesis and stored carbohydrates fuel early growth. Cool weather, sunshine and frequent rains help.

Cool-season grasses, fescue and orchardgrass, will soon shift from growing leaves to making seeds.

“Producers must harvest grass, by grazing or haying, before seed heads emerge,” Kallenbach says.

Haying early makes fewer bales. But that makes fewer nutritionempty bales to store and move for winter feeding.

“I’d rather have 500 bales of hay without seed heads than 1,100 bales of mature grass with seeds,” Kallenbach says. Seed set extracts energy from the leaves.

Late-baled hay contains stems, seed and empty leaves. To cows, hay made in June or July tastes like straw, not

grass.

“For winter feeding, I’d rather have nutritious grass that doesn’t need a supplement,” he says.

“With that 1,100 bales, it will take a lot of corn gluten or other supplement to keep cows from starving.”

Making hay in May means beating the rain.

“It can be done,” Kallenbach says. “There will be a few days of sun. But you must be ready, like a mousetrap. Snap them up.”

If you wait until the first day of sun to see if the equipment works, you’ll miss haying days.

Increasingly, early-season hay makers switch to baleage. They bale partly dried hay and wrap it in plastic. That wrapped hay takes on the feeding quality of silage.

More custom operators are offering baleage services, Kallenbach says.

“That’s a business opportunity for entrepreneurs.”

Graziers face a challenge with harvesting fast-growing grass.

“Driving across the state, I see lots of ungrazed pastures. And lots of overgrazed pastures,” Kallenbach says. “The cure is to move the cows from the overgrazed pasture onto the growing grass. Then shut the gate behind them.”

The hard-grazed grass needs a rest.

Growing grass develops deep roots that gather water and fuel growth.

Turn the cows in when grass is 8 to 10 inches tall. Then move them

Spring Garden Plowing and Tilling Call Dean Vaughn for an estimate 314-369-1471 “I am sorry for the wrong number on my flyers - I have placed the correct number on current flyers and in ad,” Dean Vaughn

out when grass is grazed down to 2.5 inches.

“If pastures are grazed too short, there isn’t enough leaf left to support photosynthesis for regrowth,” he says.

Grass grubbed into the ground takes a long time to recover.

For best-quality forage, use managementintensive grazing of pastures divided into smaller paddocks.

Overgrown paddocks cut for hay just at boot stage, before seed heads emerge, make for better grazing later, he says. The grass cut for hay early will continue in the vegetative state through June into July. That delays the start of the cool-season grass summer slump.

“Make hay in May,” Kallenbach says. “That’s kind of poetic.”

The Missouri delegation returned home from a week in which more than 270 youth and adults representing 4 H programs across the country gathered to exchange ideas, gain knowledge to share back at home and develop recommendations to help guide the future of 4-H programs nationally and in their communities.

Roberta and Lindsey represented Monroe County at the April 11-16 conference. Through various conference sessions and facilitated discussions, delegates learned and shared information on current trends and issues relevant to 4-H and youth, building effective partnerships, creating innovative 4-H programs, expanding the use of technology, working with diverse groups, and impacting community needs. At the completion of roundtable discussions, delegates gave presentations to federal agencies to recommend innovative change and represent youth voice.

Delegates also had the opportunity to meet with their legislators on Capitol Hill Day to represent youth from their state and discuss state 4-H programs with congressional members and their staff.

The National 4-H Conference upholds a tradition dating back to 1927 when the first “National 4 H Club Camp” was held on the grounds of the National Mall in front of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Known as the “Secretary’s Conference”, National 4-H Conference continues to be USDA’s premier youth development event.
