R-II FFA member Brant Francis wins Cattlemen’s Speech Contest Brant Francis, son of Tony and Barb Francis won the 2015 FFA Missouri Cattleman’s Speech Contest held January 3rd at Tan-Tara, Lake of the Ozarks. To qualify for state Brant won both the area and district contest. Brant’s speech titled “Fescue…..It’s a Love-Hate Relationship for Missouri’s Beef Producers” spoke on how beef producers need to be aware of how fescue pastures that contain a toxic entophyte are costing farmers hundreds and potentially thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

Once Brant had been named 1st place he was presented a plaque, and a check for $500.00 and was asked to present his speech that night at the annual state banquet.

That evening Brant was also named a recipient of the 2015 Missouri

Cattleman’s ($1000.00) scholarship. Brant is a member of the Paris FFA and his advisors are Mr. Josh Bondy and Miss Elicia Hickman. Congratulations Brant!

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

It is cold!!! Wow to say it has been cold these past few days is definitely an understatement.

But as always the cold is a chance for our friends, our neighbors and our community members to shine as always.

I am amazed and awed at the dedication and professionalism shown by the road and bridge and street departments in attacking and cleaning any snow or bad roads. The trucks and salting equipment were everywhere.

It didn’t matter if it was -30 wind chills - the workers and trucks were buzzing all over city and county streets and roads.

Thank you to their dedication numerous people were able to traverse the highways and byways.

Next up in the cold hit parade are those selfless individuals, like Senior Center Director Tara Sheffield who make sure that everyone has a safe and warm place to be in this bitter cold. The Paris

DAVID EALES

Senior Center allows local residents who may be facing heating issues to have a safe place to go get and keep warm. The senior center is not just a gathering place for seniors but a hub of activity and events for the entire community.

The daily meals can be consumed by people of any age. Director Sheffield is quick to point out that the building and activities are a “community resource.”

Whether you are cold and need a quick warm up or just hungry - visit the Paris Senior Center today.

Have a great week!

Members of the Mark Twain 4-H Club met on Sunday, November 30, 2014 for a community service meeting, and again on Saturday, December 6, 2014, for the regular monthly meeting. On November 30, seven members, three guests and seven club leaders gathered at the Florida Presbyterian Church to make reindeer decorations that were later handed out to residents of Miller’s Retirement Home and Monroe Manor. Betsy Embree also held a Clover Kid meeting, and all members present helped decorate the Christmas tree at the church.

On December 6, 20 members and their families and friends (16 leaders and 10 guests) gathered at the Florida Presbyterian Church for the December meeting and the annual Christmas dinner. Each family carried in a dish to share for the meal, as well as bringing a non-perishable food item for the local Christmas is Caring Food Drive. Roll call was answered by members placing an ornament on the tree.

After a short meeting, members enjoyed the delicious meal and then began playing Bingo. Each 4-H family brought inexpensive wrapped gift to be placed on the Bingo prize table. Once the prize table was empty, members who yelled ‘Bingo’ were able to steal a gift from another member – that’s when the competition really begins! Everyone who participated had a great time. Santa then made a surprise visit to the meeting and handed out a gift to each child after they told him what they wanted for Christmas.

On Sunday, December 7, 2014, members of Mark Twain 4-H collected non-perishable food items, toiletries and household goods, at both IGA and Dollar General in Paris. Members of the community were very generous in their donations, which were provided to Christmas is Caring.

COMMUNITY NEWS Agri-News

by Maddie Breid

Books donated to local library

When most of us think about agriculture, we think about food; whether it be for humans or for animals. But the term agriculture relates to so many more things. Farmers today have a part in producing nearly everything we use in our daily lives.

Manufacturing- adhesives, solvents, lubricants, detergents, and polymers.

Transportation- biofuels, lubricants, antifreeze, tires, upholstery, packing materials.

Healthcare- pharmaceuticals, surgical sutures, ointments, latex gloves, x-ray films.

Sports- uniforms, baseball bats, leather equipment, balls, shoes.

Education- crayons, textbooks, chalk, desks, pencils, paper.

And the list goes on and on. Today’s farmer can rest assured-their products aren’t soon to become obsolete.

American Red Cross says, “know how to stay safe in cold”

Frigid air is predicted for the region; the American Red Cross wants to remind residents to stay safe during this hazardous weather.

“These freezing temperatures can be deadly,” said David Griffith, Executive Director, Red Cross of Central and Northern Missouri. “We want to remind everyone to take a few safety measures before the bitter weather descends on us.”

COLD WEATHER SAFETY TIPS Here are ten ways to stay safe during this latest

round of cold temperatures: 1. Wear layers of lightweight clothing to stay warm. Gloves and a hat will help prevent losing body heat.

2. Know the signs of hypothermia - confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering. If someone has these symptoms, they should get immediate medical attention.

3. Watch for symptoms of frostbite including numbness, flushed gray, white, blue or yellow skin discoloration, numbness or waxy feeling skin.

4. Bring the pets indoors. If that’s not possible, make sure they have enough shelter to keep them warm and that they can get to unfrozen water.

5. Avoid frozen pipes run water, even at a trickle, to help prevent them from freezing. Keep the thermostat at the same temperature day and night to help avoid freezing pipes.

6. Do not use a stove or oven to heat the home.

7. Space heaters should sit on a level, hard surface and anything flammable should be kept at least

three feet away.

8. If using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs.

9. Turn off space heaters and make sure fireplace embers are out before leaving the room or going to bed.

CHURCH NEWS

On the first Sunday of 2015, Sally Blakemore opened services at Holliday Christian Church with the piano prelude. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes.

A thank you from Central Missouri Food Bank was shared as well as a thank you from David and Lysa Holmes. Happy birthday wishes were for: Quin Bartels.

The congregation stood to sing the opening hymn, “Blessed Be the Name”. Pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Phyllis Dixon, Jane Secoy and Alfred Talley and to those who are traveling south for warmer weather. Sympathy was extended to the families of Janeen Sims, Arlene James and Sarah Dawson.

The prayer hymn, “I Am Praying for You” was sung; pastoral prayer was followed by unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

In keeping with tradition on the first Sunday of each month, ladies serve at the Lord’s Table. Elders were: Zelmajo Ragsdale and Diane Wilson. Diaconate were: Jane Akers and Mary McMorris. “Near the Cross” was the communion hymn.

Three scripture references were used for the morning message; they were from Jeremiah 31:23-34, Luke 18:1-8 and 4:1-5 and finally 2 Timothy 3:14-17. The sermon was entitled “Trust Your Heart”. Reverend Holmes began by recounting the events at the Alabama Supreme Court building when the titanic-sized Ten Commandments were removed in spite of protests staged. Although the loss of the display is disheartening, it pleases God to see His word written on every person’s heart and mind. God doesn’t cease to exist if all the Bibles and monuments in the world disappear (even though the study of His word would be difficult), what matters is that His word guides our thoughts and actions.

The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Into My Heart”, was sung. Prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” closed morning worship. A time of fellowship and refreshments was enjoyed. Jane Akers read “In Christ We Have a Seat in Heaven” from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know.” Diane Wilson shared a reading, “Baby Jesus in the Red Wagon.” Jim McMorris then led the group in study of Romans 2:1-16.

Services begin at 9:30 a.m, each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church, followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m.

All are welcome to attend.

Services January 4 began with Patti Grimmett playing “We Three Kings” followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in prayer for the family of Darlene Dunlap; Bryan Carey; Glenn Campbell; the Sweitzer’s; and praises for Billie Cearley’s new great-granddaughter, Olivia; and Pastor John and Patti’s 30th Wedding Anniversary with all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John led the Unison Prayer, the Responsive Reading from Psalms 27, 36 and 56 and serving Communion as Patti played “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, and all singing “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee”, “Heavenly Sunlight”, “Light of the World” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she sang “Sunlight”.

Kaylee Beckham led the Offertory as Patti played “Auld Lang Syne”.

The message “The Light of His Grace” was based on scripture from John 1:1-5, 10-18 with this being Epiphany Sunday “as the light of the world”... In the beginning the word was with God. God is the power and purpose for all things - the darkness is the evil in the light of the darkness Jesus comes into the darkness to give us light. We are all born from above! The light of the world. Arise and shine as your light has come through the light of the Lord! God is working out His plan for the world for you and for me! Through all the darkness - the light of Christ’s love and grace... Start the New Year bearing the light of Jesus! Be a light bearer with hope - faith - joy and love in your words and deeds!

All retired in fellowship as Patti played “March of the Kings”.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are invited and welcome to attend.

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service January 4. This Sunday was communion Sunday.

The ushers for this week’s service were John Gilmore and Albert Sinkclear. Patti Grimmett led the congregation into worship service with, “We Three Kings.”

Pastor John Grimmett led the responsive reading from Psalm 27, 36, and 56. Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns and celebrations and led the congregation in a unison prayer of confession.

Pastor John Grimmett read the scripture reading from John 1: 1-15, 10-18. The message was “the light of his grace.” Patti and John Grimmett performed the special music piece, “Sunlight.”

The closing hymn was, “Shine Jesus Shine.” Patti Grimmett led the congregation out of worship service with, “March of the Kings .”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, January 11. Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m.

A sitter is provided during worship service for any children.

Attend the church of your choice

Morning worship service opened with worshipful organ music by Kathy Miller. Chuck Brazeale gave the invocation. Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship; Give glory to God in all circumstances. He will help us.

Cyndi Rush sang a solo, “Face of a Stranger”.

Cheryl Gholson gave the children’s sermon. She showed a Christmas stocking with several things that reminded us of Jesus. One was a hot wheels car. She said we need to be with Jesus when we drive our cars.

She had a rock - Jesus is the Rock. She also had a piece of coal; this represented bad things we had done and Jesus will forgive us. Then a cross - Jesus died for us.

Reverend Wesley Hammond began his sermon with Acts 1:1-3, titled “The Kingdom of God”. He will be preaching from the Book of Acts in the coming weeks and months. This is a book written by Luke. His first book was about all Jesus did. Jesus was “ ...taken up, after he had given orders through the Holy Spirit for the disciples...” God wants each of us to have a personal life story to share about Jesus in our life. We have the Holy Spirit alive in us when we give our lives to Him. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tuesday, January 6, begins a new Bible Study at 7 p.m. led by Wesley Hammond.

Wednesday, January 7, take down Christmas decorations at 4 p.m.; NO choir practice.

Diana Hammond announced the desire to raise money to restore Carillon bells in the church. All donations are welcome.

Be in prayer for an adult leader for the afternoon children’s ministry.

The title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon for worship service was “Prophetic Trust” with scripture text of 2 Peter 1:16-21 and Romans 8:28. Our faith of Jesus Christ our Savior is based on truth and facts. We do have a personal choice of receiving Christ into our hearts and lives. Salvation is an ongoing prophetic. IF you believe, you will be saved!! Everyone has that right to choose -- please make the right choice!

During worship service, Matt and Sara Watson brought forth their baby son, Abram Marvel, to be dedicated. They had many family members present to join in this dedication as well as their church family.

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Don Wilkerson, Dennis Kendrick, Bill Miller, Dan Sharp, Charles Thomas and Charlie Horstmeier.

Accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at the end of the service was Shellie Holmes. Her baptism will take place at a later date.

William Wilson thanked everyone for the get well card he received last week.

Susan Kendrick reported that the Salt Saturday youth group met on New Year’s day to make plans for the 2015 calendar. They meet the last Saturday of each month. They welcome any junior high or high school age person to join the group.

The annual church meeting will take place the first Sunday in February following church service.

Bible study will resume this week on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m., with meal preceding at 6 p.m. Sunday School is every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:30 a.m. Our doors are open to anyone!!

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

Prayer led by Eld. Fugate Scripture read by Min. Adams Offering directed by Min. Ballenger Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “Our sufficiency is in God” “And such trust have we through Christ to Godward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; to of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” II Corinthians 3: 4-6.

Sufficient means adequate or competent. We must be careful that we don’t put total confidence in ourselves to think more highly of ourselves than we ought to think, because a to high opinion concerning yourself can cause you, your downfall. It is wise to place your confidence in God and not in your own abilities, because at best we are yet limited in our knowledge, because only God knows all things. “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” I Corinthians 2:5. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searchedth all things, yea the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man, which is in him? Even so, the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.” I Corinthians 2:9-12 Rely and depend upon God so we can know the things that have been freely given to us by God who is all sufficient.

“Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Sunday Mornings 10:30 a.m., Sunday Night at 7 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m.

Services were held at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, January 11, with 20 members and guests in attendance. Rev. Holmes greeted the congregation and led the announcements. Joys and concerns were expressed before Rev. Holmes led the congregation in prayer, followed by the Lord’s Prayer. The Adult Choir sang “Farther Along” for special music. The Lord’s Supper was observed and tithes and offerings were given. Rev. Holmes delivered the morning message using Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 18:1-8; and II Timothy 3:14-4:5 as his texts. All were invited to Christian Discipleship. Announcements: The monthly Elders’ meeting will be held at 6 p.m., following by the meeting of the Official Board at 7 p.m., on Wednesday, January 7.

Freshman Drew Lockhart hit a double double (15 points, 12 rebounds) versus Silex, scoring double digits in two statistical categories while Betsy Embree scored her first double double with 10 points and 10 boards versus South Shelby.

Salisbury The Lady Coyotes looked like they were going to defeat Salisbury as they led 30-20 after three quarters of play but a 20-8 Salisbury final period saw the Paris faithful looking at the wrong end of a 40-38 score. One of the game’s highlights was a long range three pointer

by Grace Peak as the third quarter horn sounded.

Betsy Embree led the Lady Coyotes with 16 points while Britany Williams chipped in with 7 points. Drew Lockhart led the team in boards with Abbie Wheelan tied for the lead in both assists and steals with Britany Williams and Carmyn Holmes respectively.

Betsy Embree led all scorers with 10 points (hitting a double double with her 10 boards), Drew Lockhart chipped in with 8 and Carmyn Holmes had 7.

Monroe Manor celebrates Donna Starrett’s 36 years of service

by Denny Hollingsworth Donna Starrett confided to a friend she couldn’t promise not to cry Friday, January 2 during a reception in honor of her retirement at Monroe Manor Nursing Home – she had a box of tissues on her lap in preparation – reports are she didn’t, but others in the audience did as the popular employee said goodbye to a career and a facility full of residents she spent 36 consecutive years dutifully serving.

A dining-room full of residents, staff members, family and friends of Mrs. Starrett heard Manor administrator Shari Embree laud the newly retired dependable and dedicated employee.

“We will truly miss her enthusiastic, energetic personality and demeanor,” Mrs. Embree said.

“Donna may be small in stature but she is never small in her enthusiasm.

She is not just a loyal employee, she genuinely cares for our residents and will be missed by them, their families and all of us that have had the good fortune of working with her.”

Several residents added personal antidotes about how well Mrs. Starret cared for them and how much they appreciate her service.

Mrs. Starrett, the third longest consecutiveserving Manor employee thanked everyone and promised she’d be back to visit.

“I’m not leaving, I’ll be around,” the retiree said.

“My step-mother and two aunts are residents so I’ll be visiting, and I want to help with bingo occasionally.”

Debbie Miller, the Manor’s former activities director, and Donna’s onetime supervisor echoed Mrs. Embree’s comments about Mrs. Starrett’s size and commitment.

“She’s a small lady with a big heart,” Mrs. Miller said affectionately. “You never had to worry about Donna getting the job done, she’s very reliable and always willing to do what needed to be accomplished. She always put the residents first.”

Mrs. Starrett, 65, has spent more than 40 years employed at Monroe Manor. She was hired the first time in the fall of 1973 by the home’s first administrator, Floyd Sims, just a couple months after it opened July 3, 1973.

“They said they’d hire me, but didn’t think I was big enough to be a nurse’s aide,” Mrs. Starrett laughingly says. She stood 4’ 10” and weighed 81-pounds when she joined the staff and hasn’t changed much in size in four decades.

There were no mechanical lifts or other apparatus to assist in moving those that weren’t ambulatory 40 years ago, but Mrs. Starrett said she learned to use her legs and not her back in lifting.

“I’m little; that’s true, no hiding that,” Donna ruefully admits, “but I’m strong for my size,” she asserts.

the Manor when Mike Starrett was visiting his grandmother. The couple married in 1974. She resigned in the summer of 1977 to have their first child, Robert, an engineer that lives in St. Louis, returned to the Manor as a full-time employee August 1, 1978 and stayed more than 36 consecutive years. Daughter Jeanette, a Manor employee, was born in 1983.

Mrs. Starrett served nine years as a Certified Nurses Assistant, spent 14 years as a rehabilitation aide and her last 13 years as a member of the activities department, the final years as chief transportation aide.

It’s estimated Donna transported hundreds of Manor residents to hospitals and doctors appointments throughout northeast Missouri, driving more than 50,000 accident-free miles. She worked for five of Monroe Manor’s eight administrators and helped care for an estimated 3,000 residents over a 40-year period.

“I love my residents and will miss every one,” Mrs. Starrett says con-

Letter to Editor

vincingly, “but I won’t miss getting called in the middle of the night to go pick somebody up from the hospital that has been dismissed,” she honestly admits.

She said the favorite part of working at the Manor was seeing people coming in for short durations, rehabbing and then going home.

“Getting our residents home is our goal,” Donna states. “And we’re successful more often than not in getting them strong and back on their feet, able to care for themselves.”

The daughter of the late Sidney and Georgia Alverson, Donna graduated from Paris High School in 1968. She and her husband, who is employed as a paramedic by the Monroe County and Salt River ambulance districts, live in a unique round house five miles southwest of Paris, they built in 1976-77. Donna said their neighbors call it the flying saucer.

Mrs. Starrett’s future plans include crocheting, cross stitching, babysitting grandchildren, fishing and doing whatever whenever she wants.
