Women interested in learning how to pass the family farm down to the next generation can learn from a nationally recognized speaker at a one-day Annie’s Project seminar in Columbia.

The event is Aug. 16 at the University of Missouri Food Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI), 101 Park De Ville Drive, Suite E, Columbia.

“We invite all Missouri farm women, whether or not they’ve participated in Annie’s Project,” said Karisha Devlin, Annie’s Project co-state coordinator. “We want to honor all Missouri farm women for their roles in agriculture, connect women with each other, and raise awareness of agricultural risk management.”

Pat Westhoff, MU economist and FAPRI

director, talks about the 2014 farm bill.

Keynote speaker Ron Hanson, an agribusiness professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, speaks on “What Happens if Mom Takes Over the Family Farm?” and ways to resolve conflicts between on-farm and off-farm heirs during farm succession.

Hanson also tells farm wives how to strengthen relationships through better communication in a second presentation, “Have You Got a Minute?”

Ray Massey, MU Extension ag economist, speaks about crop insurance.

Shanda Nichols of FCS Financial gives tips on financial statements.

Also, a two-day Annie’s Project conference will be held Sept. 19-20 at the

Windermere Conference Center at the Lake of the Ozarks. Speakers include MU Extension agribusiness specialists, cowboy comedian Jerry Crownover and musician and rancher Teddy Gentry.

Annie’s Project is a risk-management program designed specifically for women.

In Missouri, MU Extension and the USDA Risk Management Agency sponsor the class. It is in its 10th year.

Annie’s Project honors the late Annette Kohlhagen Fleck, who was married to a farmer for 50 years. One of her daughters, a retired University of Illinois Extension educator, started Annie’s Project to educate women on farm topics.

When Two Become One

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Democracy In Action… Those words can be defined by the sights and sounds at the Monroe County Courthouse lawn on Tuesday, August 5 as county residents gathered to take part in the Paris First Christian Church fundraiser (great sandwiches, cake and ice cream!) and to listen to Western District Commissioner Glenn E. Turner read off the results of the Primary Election, precinct by precinct as available.

It was a sight of community in action as residents kept “score” as the results were read and when Glenn disappeared into the office from the balcony, they leaned over to compare results with their neighbor.

When all the precincts were read and tallies given, the candidates congratulated each other on running good campaigns and then took the long walk upstairs to address the crowd from the balcony.

The candidates both winners and losers were gracious and respectful in their speeches. The crowd clapped and appreciated

DAVID EALES

the efforts of each and every candidate.

The biggest hand of the evening however was for the retiring county clerk.

Glenn introduced Sandra Francis and asked her to speak to the assembled.

Sandra thanked the crowd for their support during her 28 year tenure at the courthouse in the same gracious way she handles everything else.

Another election night in the books and as usual I had the final results in a timely manner so that others besides herself could meet their deadlines.

I speak for myself and I know hundreds of others when I say - thank you Sandra for yesterday and for today and for tomorrow. Good luck!

Monroe County Clerk Sandra Francis addresses the assembled on the courthouse lawn, there to hear the election results.

MY TURN Our Least Favorite Dog

Some of my friends, and even family, have suggested that they have or had a nice, gentle pit bull that wouldn’t hurt anyone. But there is no other dog that gets the bad press as much when there is a scary attack on a child or other innocent individual. Pit Bulls do earn their bad reputation.

They are only 6 percent of the dog population but have caused 68 percent of dog attacks and over half of dog-related deaths as a result, since 1982. Pit Bulls officially are not a single breed of dog but are dogs with physical characteristics that link them to either the American Pit Bull Terrier or the Staffordshire Bull Terrier or like dogs.

Up to 3,000 of these

dogs are euthanized every day in shelters across the nation.

While owners of pit bulls will argue that with proper training and lack of abuse their dogs are well behaved and should not be blamed for attacks on humans.

But dogs bred to be confined and fight other dogs, often to the death, can easily maim and even kill other dogs and their owners. So really, are these the kind of pets we want around our kids, grandkids and their friends? Or is that cute little pup we buy for them going to grow up to be a large, dangerous animal?

The real question, why take that chance?

Dear Editor: Citizens of Monroe County we need your support on August 12 to let Missouri Public Service Commission know that you support landowner rights. Most likely you have heard about Grain Belt Express, a proposed 600,000 volt direct current powered electrical transmission line. The purpose of this line is to carry wind power from Kansas to a power grid in Indiana where it will be sold most likely to consumers on the east coast, and possibly drop off a small amount in eastern Missouri. In March 2014, Clean Line Energy Partners, LLC, filed an application with Missouri Public Service Commission requesting a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity. This is a privately owned company that is seeking public utility status so it can use the power of Eminent Domain to force landowners to sell land easements up to 200 feet wide and construct towers Continued to page 3

Marriage is a wonderful thing and those of us who have a spouse are blessed. Now I know there are times when it doesn’t feel so much like a blessing. There are times when we might even question the whole thing. And even though marriage can be wonderful, it can also be hard. It is in those hard times that we have to push through and look at the bigger picture. We need to remember the commitment we made not only to each other but to God. It is never easy when you take two very different people and have them live life together physically, emotionally and spiritually. This is why it is important to have people in our lives who encourage us in the hard times of marriage--people who have walked and are walking in their marriage commit-

from 110 to 200 feet tall. The route proposed with the application crosses eight Missouri counties which includes southern Monroe County. Some of the reasons landowners are concerned with this proposal include: Little or no electricity actually used in Missouri (none in Monroe County), difficulty farming around towers, crops destroyed, land impaired during construction and maintenance, land devaluation, loss of vegetation and habitat, flashing aircraft warning lights, helicopters flying lines, known health risks due to exposure to high voltage, land no longer suitable for irrigation and future uses, home sites devalued and slower to sell, no compensation to owners near the line, and the sale of easements by Grain Belt Express to other companies.

Everyone in Monroe County should be concerned about this infringement of property rights. If Grain Belt Express is granted approval, an example will be set for future private companies to use Missouri as a crossroads to pass through to the rest of the United States or possibly using Missouri land in objectionable ways such as waste dumps. We hope landowners and others will speak up and inform Missouri Public Service Commission of their concerns at a public hearing scheduled Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 11 am at Knights of Columbus in Monroe City. If you are unable to attend this hearing, attend a hearing in one of the other seven counties. Please help us fill the meeting rooms in support of defending property rights!

Sincerely, Officers/Directors of Eastern Missouri Landowners Alliance d/b/a Show Me Concerned Landowners David Carpenter Wiley Hibbard Marilyn O’Bannon Kent Dye Dale Sluhan Jim Daniels Alan Morgan Phillip C. Brown Dear Editor and residents of Ralls and Monroe counties, The Missouri Public Service Commission will hold two public hearings on August 12. The first meeting will be at 11 a.m., at the Knights of Columbus Hall, in Monroe City and the second will be at 6 p.m., at the Theater Auditorium, Hannibal LaGrange University, in Hannibal. The purpose of the meetings is to hear from area citizens concerning Grain Belt Express, also known as Clean Line Energy, being granted eminent domain (taking of land without landowner’s agreement). Grain Belt is applying for eminent domain and plans to run a high voltage direct current transmission line across 8 counties in our state to sell power to the east coast. If this happens, it will be the biggest transmission line in our nation.

These lines could be a health risk (research has proven that children living near these lines have a higher risk of developing cancer). They will lower property values with easements that are 150-200 feet wide across properties. The towers could be up to 200 feet tall scarring our landscapes.

I don’t think the state of Missouri should be a guinea pig for these lines.

Please plan to attend one or both of these meetings and show your opposition to eminent domain being given to an out of state company that is 40% owned by the National Grid out of the U.K. which will have the option to purchase the other 60% when the line is finished. We need to stand together to fight for our rights.

Thank you, Denise Power Perry, Mo.

Brandon Barton continues family’s Holliday Horizons naval tradition, will enter U.S. Navy 4-H Club News

by Denny Hollingsworth Next month Brandon Barton will raise his right hand, swear to defend the constitution and become the fourth strait generation of his family to join the U.S. Navy.

Barton, 18, the son of Mary and Ronnie Barton, and a 2014 graduate of Madison High School, is quite familiar with the country’s military forces.

He was born at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and lived at both Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station in Puerto Rico and the Oceana Naval Air Station at Virginia Beach, Virginia, before his father retired from the Navy in 2003, and moved to Madison.

Brandon’s father and uncle, Ronnie Barton’s twin brother, Raymond, both spent 22 years in the Navy, serving during Gulf War I and after 9/11; they retired as E-7 Master of Arms, K-9 police officers.

Brandon’s grandfather, Billy Jim Barton, of Clarence, a naval veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars, retired from the service as a senior chief. Brandon’s greatgrandfather, Charles Hanhart, served in the Navy at the end of WWII. Barton leaves home August 4, and will be sworn-in with the 2014 edition of the Cardinals Company – an annual ballpark recruit day – during August 7 ceremonies at Busch Stadium, when the Cards play Boston.

His first assignment will be at the Navy’s Great Lakes, Illinois basic training center for seven weeks. Then he will attend medical corps training at Brook Army Medical Center at San Antonio, Texas.

Barton has a five year enlistment and his goal is to serve as a combat medic with the Navy’s Fleet Marine Force.

Three people were arrested Thursday after officers with the Northeast Missouri Narcotics Task Force served a search warrant in Madison.

Darrin L. Hendren, 43, of Madison; Jeffrey C. Willingham, 30, of Paris; and Casey M. Bailey, 32, of Higbee were arrested after officers searched Hendren’s residence at 205 West Broadway. According to a task force news release, officers found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia inside the residence.

Hendren was charged with possession of a controlled substance and tampering with physical

evidence. His cash-only bond was set at $50,000.

Willingham was charged with possession of a controlled substance and three counts of sale of a controlled substance.

His cash-only bond was set at $100,000. Bailey was charged with possession of a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence.

Her cash-only bond was set at $50,000. They are being held in the Monroe County Jail.

The Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol assisted with the arrests.

CHURCH NEWS

Pastor Kenny’s message today was taken from Genesis 19: 12-29 and Luke 17: 31-33. Don’t look behind you, or stay where you are. Listen to God’s instruction for your own life.

God’s word is our instruction. We should never miss our old sinful nature and if you do, then you’ve not changed. Know that judgment is coming. Let go of the old and give up everything the world has to offer and grab on to what God has to offer. Run to Jesus and don’t look back! We should all be so excited about what God is going to do next in our lives that even the temptations that come our way don’t cause us to loose sight of what’s to come.

Praise for Jonah sleeping better and a new job for Cathy Laird’s son.

Prayers for Erion Bergmann, Bonnie Sudsberry, Randy Davis, Sherron Melton, Israel, Jim Hurst, Dorothy Woodhurst, Barb Forrest, Joanne Cooley, Don Laird, Carol Hagen’s mother, Dallas Baker’s niece, Jay Reeves, Ashley Hinds, Shirley Holmes, Noah Holmes, Amber Nickell, Jennifer Horstmeier, Gary Windmann, Carla Buffington, Scott Kendrick and girls, Shirley Nation, family of Christy Mitcham Happy birthday to both Bob and Karen Conley, and Jill and Lilly Kendrick. August 17 is “Mission Sunday” for the MFUGE group to share their stories. Salt Saturday is August 30, and the group is collecting food for Festival of Sharing. Thank you for helpers at church camp, and from Cherie Graupman. Old Fashioned Hymn Sing August 15, at the Madison Christian Church. August 10 baptisms after service.

Bible study is every Wednesday night, carry in meal at 6 p.m., and study at 6:30 p.m. Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., and worship service at 10:30 a.m.

On August 3 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: remember to send Hugh Engle birthday cards this week, FBC Paris needs help putting together summer meals for kids on Fridays at 9:30 a. m., pray on the church backing the movie, ‘A Matter of Faith’, and Men’s Breakfast is on Aug. 9 at 8:30 a.m.

The message this week was titled ‘Live Inbounds’ and came from 2 Peter 2:10-16. Many pastors today do not preach the parts of the Gospel that seem dark and dreary – this is one of those parts. God has set boundaries for man to live within and uses authority to enforce those rules. There are various levels of authority such as parents, employers, government, and church leaders. Here Peter writes about those who will not follow God given rules and authority.

You will know false teachers by the way they live. They live in the flesh; the old nature Jesus came to change in His people.

It is their choice to live in sin: God and the Church believing they are living out of bounds according to God’s Word. These people claim to know Christ but are bold and daring in their sin. Bold enough to badmouth pastors, deacons, or the congregation. They live by their own will and think they have the right and authority to determine truth for themselves. They have no fear of placing their standards above God’s standards.

Even angels do not do this.

Because false teachers do not have a regenerated heart eternal damnation is there rewards for their life. We do not hear much about hell today but Jesus preached on it regularly.

Hell is as much a part of the gospel as heaven is. Living openly in sin the false teacher even calls sin a virtue and revels in sin.

Peter does something that today’s church is taught to never do. Peter makes a judgment call and refers to false teachers as spots and blemishes on the church. Spots and blemishes are only good for removal.

There are false teachers today that live lavish lifestyles instead of emptying self and becoming poor as Jesus did. Since Jesus is not their Master they can also having eyes of adultery instead of compassion. Those eyes are looking upon the members of your family and friends. Being cursed by God is the worst thing a person could be called for there is no hope of blessings in this life or the next.

Peter compares false teachers to the Gentile prophet Balaam who chose money and comfort over living the godly life God called him to live. Peter calls this the ‘madness of the prophet’. Balaam had a price that could be met and while he did not curse Israel he did cause much pain for the nation because of his sin. Balaam got Israel’s enemies to speak soothing to them and invite Israel to their feasts and orgies; to sin against God. Honestly look at your life and see if there is a price for your obedience to God. Has a false teacher fooled you?

Mac Wilt gave the invocation beginning worship for the morning. Prior to the Celebration of the Lord’s Supper, Reverend Wesley Hammond gave the message from God’s Word from John 6:22-57, entitled “Bread of Life”. In verse 27, Jesus says the Son of Man will give you eternal life. Romans 6:8 “Now if we died with Christ we will also live with him” Jesus also tells us in John 6:51, “I am the living bread that comes down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever” and in verse 53 and 54, “Very truly I tell you unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood, has eternal life.”

Gale Wilkerson gave the prayer for the bread and John Mitchell gave the prayer for the cup. Others serving at the table were Elmer Gravot, Floyd Lawson, Ed Putnam, Riley Barton, Lloyd DeOrnellis, Carl Ensor, Charles Ensor, Don Hickman, and Charles Garnett.

Cheryl Gholson sang a solo, “In Remembrance.” The congregational response was led by Steve Ensor singing “I Need Thee Every Hour”. Kathy Miller and Brenda Ensor served at the organ and piano.

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

“I Give Myself Away” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Prayer-led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture-read by Bro. Michael; Thompson “How Great Is Our God” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting)-directed by Elder Kelley Ballenger. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.”

“Everything” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “What and Who Is Your Focus?”

II Corinthians 4:18 – “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

How easily we misplace our values and loyalties.

This can and will happen when we allow something else to become our main focus.

Things on the outside and things on the inside, which we focus on, can and will greatly influence our decisions and behavior.

The Word of God states that the things we see with our natural eyes are not eternal, and the things that we see not with our natural eyes, is eternal. We cannot see God with our natural eyes, because He is a Spirit and he is eternal. So we focus on His Word which is spiritual and life, then we will have, eternally, what His Word says we can have. Never lose focus on God! Come and worship with us! Weekly service 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!

The First Christian Church held a worship service on August 3, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, a drama on a woman healed by Jesus, was titled “Faithfully Clean” and was based on Matthew 9:20-22. Hymns sung in unison were “I Love You, Lord,” “In the Garden,” “Break Thou the Bread of Life,’ “Just As I Am,” and “They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love.” Those who participated in the service were: Worship Leader Roseann Raines; Elders Jim Scott and Reva Sheffield; Diaconate Amy McGinness, Jane Callis, Debbie Boulware, and Nadine McKinney; Acolytes Hannah Vaughn and Katelyn McGinness; and Junior Church Leader Anita Ness. Pastor Scott held a Communion Service at Monroe Manor at 3 p.m.

We extend the Good News of God’s Love through our worship, education, and service to each other, our family, friends, and community.

Everyone is welcome to Adult Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., Junior Church at 10:30 a.m., and worship at 10:45 a.m.

Weekly thought from Francis Frangipane: No one, nor any thing, brings pleasure to the Father as does seeing His Son. Every time we obey Jesus, giving Him access to this world, we please God. Each time Christ forgives or loves or blesses through us, the heart of God finds pleasure in our lives.

Pastor Fran Schnarre

Last Sunday, Granville Christian Church celebrated the success of its Relay for Life team. Lacey Shumard brought the silver award which we received and placed it in a special glass holder. Our team raised $3,522.

Our annual fish fry will be Saturday, September 6.

The whole community is invited to this free event at 6:30 p.m. On Sunday, September 7, we will celebrate the new school year with Back to Church Sunday.

We are still sending care packages to servicemen and women in the combat zones. Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses.

Come spend an hour in worship with the One who continuously remakes you, saves you and loves you, at 11 a.m. on the first, third and fifth Sundays (17 and 31, September 7 and 21). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.

Services at Holliday Christian Church on August 2, were opened with the prelude by Sally Blakemore, pianist. Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance, including special guests, Wayne and Brenda Dry, Nina Kay and Mac Milenius and Rod and Kathy Grembrag.

The monthly congregational meeting will be held following services on Sunday, August 10. Madison Christian Church will host the county-wide hymn sing at 6:30 p.m., on Sunday, August 17.

Happy birthday wishes were for: Mac Donovan, Dianne VanPraag, Jacob Ragsdale, Tucker Bartels, Emily Ragsdale and Robby Carter. Anniversary congratulations were for Mac and Catherine Donovan (72 years), Gene and Sandy Carter (53 years), Mike and Julann McLaughlin (45 years) and Jerry and Loretta Koch (1 year).

The congregation stood to sing the opening hymn, “Come, We that Love the Lord”; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Cindi Mitchell, Jerry Arends and Bob and Ruth Peck. Sympathy was extended to the family of Kristy Mitchem. The joy of Shelby Trasher entering pharmacy school was shared. Mike and Julann McLaughlin were congratulated on their upcoming induction into the Missouri 4-H Hall of Fame.

Elders, Sandy Callison and Diane Wilson, went forward as the communion hymn, “Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face” was sung. Serving as deacons were Gary Wilson and Guy Callison. The doxology closed the communion portion of the service.

Scripture from Matthew 14:13-21 (Jesus Feeds the Thousands) was the reference for the morning’s message, “It Depends on Whose Hands It’s In”. As the scripture states, Jesus took five loaves and two fish and fed 5,000 men plus women and children when the food was placed in His hands and then distributed by His disciples. Much as we place our mustard seed of faith in Jesus’ hands for Him to provide both our spiritual food and food for nourishment.

The closing hymn, “Give of Your Best to the Master”, was sung, followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Pastor John Grimmett led the Unison Prayer with prayer for Max Tilt with thanks for all the prayers; Sweitzer’s return from vacation and the August Mission Project is school supplies with all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

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

The message “More Than Enough” was based on Scripture from Matthew 14:13-21 as Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fishes to feed the multitude of over 5,000. As He shows compassion on us...

He takes time for you and me - He takes time to heal those who are sick... even on the cross He had compassion for US - How can we make a difference? We don’t have enough... sometimes the need is too much - don’t go away! We may not be hungry but there is a great need at South Fork, food, prayer, school supplies.

God is the supplier - He has all the ways and means to do mighty things - He can help! Remember when you bring something before God, He can do something wonderful with whatever it is that you do! He can multiply everything to change your life!

Communion and the Offertory was led by Earl Sweitzer as Patti played “The Lord Is My Shepherd”.

Patti played “Our God, Our Help, In Ages Past” as all retired in fellowship.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and everyone is invited to come hear the word of the Lord.

According to Dr. Julie Surdal, DPT, MBA, Program Director for RehabCare, Monroe Manor is a fabulous asset to the community.

Surdal explained the local therapy facilities in the following manner: “If anyone needs a place for their family member to get rehabilitation or to come because they are not doing well – they have a facility locally.

We serve everyone that needs therapy here in Monroe County. We are capable of working with everyone no matter the age.

apy can address the problem with a non-invasive treatment and medication – in eight weeks people can regain normal bladder function.

Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy (Occupational Therapy) They work with people making sure their hands work appropriately so they can button buttons all the way to making sure a person can manage their pots and pans or navigate around the laundry room or the kitchen to manage the tasks needed for living.

(Speech Therapy) If some one is having difficulty with forming words and getting them out of their mouth or having difficulty swallowing or maybe someone thinks their brain is not working fast enough – that is something speech therapy would work with.

The therapy department also works with young children on movement patterns and work on their coordination.

Do you or a loved one need therapy of any kind?

To access services or for additional information at the Monroe Manor call 660-327-1024 this is both the phone and fax number.

The therapists need a doctor’s order faxed to the Manor but they can help with acquiring the doctor’s orders.

For additional information visit the website www.mmanornh.com or rehabcare.com “I am really proud that we are staffed with very highly educated therapists,” said Surdal. “Our physical therapists all have doctorates and our occupational and speech therapists all have Masters Degrees. We also have quite a bit of experience as well.”

She noted that compared to an average therapy clinic they are more educated than any other place a patient can choose to go.

We are very fortunate to have them here,” said patient Maxine Riley.

“You don’t have to drive far and everyone here is great!”

We would like to thank Brandon Graupman and Dowell Farms for purchasing our 4-H hams. Your support is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

The ABC’s of Back to School for Parents As the new school year begins, we all want to encourage success for our children. However, getting books and backpacks can sometimes overshadow the little things that make for a smooth and successful start to the school year. Here’s an alphabetical guide to the 26 details not to forget this Back to School season.

A. Ask questions. Ask your child about her day at school. Try to ask questions that encourage more than yes-orno answers. What did you learn? Who did you sit with at lunch? What books did the teacher

read to you?

B. Breakfast. Kids learn best when they’ve had a nutritious breakfast. Schools often remind parents of this on testing days, but it’s important for kids to get off to a good start every day.

C. Communication.

Communicate with your child’s teacher. Share your concerns, what you feel is working well for your child, and ask for clarification if something is unclear.

D. Dates. Check dates of school holidays and plan accordingly. Calendars vary by district.

E. Effort. Praise your

child’s best efforts. Not every child is a straightA student. Let her know how proud you are when your child has truly done her best.

F. Friends. Get to know your child’s friends, and encourage relationships with those who are a positive influence.

G. Guidance counselor.

Ask the school guidance counselor to talk with your child if she seems stressed by the birth of a sibling, the loss of a family member, or school relationships.

H. Homework. Provide a quiet place that is free of distractions, and help your child as needed, without doing the work for her.

I. Illness. Keep your child home if she is sick.

Germs spread quickly in a classroom, and one sick child quickly becomes 25 sick children.

J. Jot a note. Be sure to send a written excuse when your child is absent.

Good luck students!

Too many unexcused absences can affect your child’s grades, or raise concerns of truancy.

K. Know the rules. Be familiar with school rules, policies and dress code.

If the code of conduct isn’t sent home with your child, check for it online.

L. Listen. Really listen when your child talks to you. Put down the newspaper, turn off the TV, close the laptop and listen.

M. Make choices. With your child, choose which after-school activities are the most important. Kids need downtime, time for balanced meals and plenty of sleep.

N. Newsletter. Read school and classroom newsletters regularly.

O. Open House. Attend your school’s open house.

Find out what’s going on in your child’s class, get to know the teacher and look over your child’s work samples.

P. Praise good behavior. It’s easy to take posi-

tive behavior for granted, but good kids need to be praised for following the rules.

Q. Quality time. Busy lives make quality family time hard to find. Eat dinner together, go for a walk or play a game with your child.

R. Read your child’s textbooks.

Glance through the table of contents to find out what will be taught. Then talk about what your child is learning to help build excitement and make connections with the topics.

S. Smile. Mornings can be hectic, and a lot of kids bring this stress into the classroom with them. Try to send your child off with a smile and a hug to set a positive tone for the day.

T. Tardiness. In some schools, a certain number of tardy slips count as an unexcused absence. Be careful!

U. Update the teacher.

If there are things going on that are affecting

your child, let the teacher know. Kids react to separations, friends moving away and the loss of a pet.

Teachers can offer extra sympathy, understanding and support.

V. Volunteer. If your schedule permits, offer to help in the classroom each week. If not, help from home by typing the class Continued to page 12

2014 BACK TO SCHOOL Prepare for the School Year with required Immunizations

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reminds parents to prepare for the upcoming school year now by getting their children’s annual physical and required immunizations.

“Immunizations are proven to be one of the most successful and costeffective ways to prevent serious diseases,” said Margaret Donnelly, Director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. “Even though we’re still on summer vacation, we encourage parents to make their children’s immunization appointments now instead of waiting until the busy days right before school begins.”

Missouri law requires children in Kindergarten through 12th grade to receive immunizations to protect against 9 vaccinepreventable diseases. This helps protect everyone including students, teachers, staff and other community members.

Children attending Kindergarten through

12th grade are required to have the following upto-date immunizations or booster shots: • DTaP - Diptheria, tetanus and pertussis or DT - diptheria and tetanus • Tdap - Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (required for 8th, 9th and 10th grade) • IPV - Polio • Hepatitis B • MMR- Measles, mumps, rubella • Varicella - Chickenpox Most vaccines are covered by health insurance and children 18 and younger may be eligible to get immunizations for free through the Vaccines for Children Program if they are Medicaid eligible, uninsured, under insured or an American Indian or Alaskan Native.

Contact your health care provider to ensure your child is up to date on immunizations. For more information visit www. health.mo.gov/immunizations or contact the Monroe County Health Department.

newsletter, cutting out art projects or planning class parties. A parent’s involvement in the classroom promotes success in school.

W. Website. Check out the school website. You’ll find important information, changes in dates and suggestions for ways to support your child.

X. Don’t focus on the X’s. When graded work is returned, don’t focus on the problems that are marked wrong. Rather than saying, “You only missed 7,” say, “You got 93 right!”

Y. Yell and shout. Be

your child’s biggest cheerleader when your child scores on the football field, participates in the science fair or recognizes all of the letters of the alphabet. Your praise is more precious than any prize or sticker from the teacher.

Z. Zip your mouth.

When you disagree with the teacher, go to her directly to discuss your concerns. Venting these frustrations in front of your child will undermine the teacher in your child’s eyes, and cause confusion.

Work out your differences privately.

Ways to help pay for college as an adult There are a multitude of adults that would like to go back to school to earn a college degree.

Unfortunately, many are deterred from this desire due to the cost of college.

Whether a technical college, community college, online college or fouryear university, college can be very expensive.

Here are some tips to help any adult that would like to go back to school: - Begin by filling out the Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). The application uses taxes, number of people in the household, etc., to determine a person’s Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). An EFC determines how much a family as a whole could contribute to the person wanting to go to college.

From there, eligibility for federal scholarships and grants, and low-interest student loans can be determined.

- Once the FAFSA has been completed and the grants/loans that the person is eligible for have

been determined, begin looking for colleges that offer the desired degree, distance from home, etc.

Once the person has narrowed down the list to a few colleges, contact each financial aid division of the college in order to find out the total price that it would cost for the person to attend. (Ask about full-time student costs and part-time student costs) - If possible, get the colleges to send information by email, fax, or mail on all the financial options that the college offers.

Consider keeping all of this information organized in a binder, scan it into a computer, etc.

- In many cases, grants and loans will cover the costs of the school tuition, but for some, there may be a need to find other scholarships, grants or loans that are available. Websites such as collegeboard.org can help prospective students find other scholarships that aren’t federally funded.

There are several scholarships available to returning adults, and many

organizations offer degree-specific scholarships as well. By signing up for an account with websites like College Board, a person can search through a large database of scholarships, be reminded of due dates, etc.

- Books that catalog scholarships offered by different organizations are also available to purchase online or through many local bookstores.

After filling out the FAFSA, determine the grants and loans he or she is able to receive, and narrowing down their college choices, a person can then look at all the financial costs

attributed with attending each college. From there, the person can choose to attend a college that would fit into their current grant and loan situation or can begin searching through books and online websites to apply for scholarships to “make up” for the money that would still be needed. Always keep in mind when applying for scholarships that there are a multitude of available scholarships out there- from choosing a degree in Communications to being of a certain height. With the right dedication, any adult that wishes to go back to school can find a way to pay for it.

2014 BACK TO SCHOOL Good Intentions - Eating Well at College Maybe you started out with healthy goals at dinnertime: some steamed vegetables with your lasagna, a heaping bowl of greens from the salad bar.

But as you headed to a table, the fries caught your eye. Then you decided you’d better hit the desserts now, because who knows what will be left when you’re done with dinner?

Sound familiar? You’re away at college, and your parents are no longer looking over your shoulder to make sure you eat your vegetables. This and many other new freedoms might feel great.

But they may not be good news for your body.

While many students stock up on fruits and vegetables in the dining hall, others fill their trays with things they like without paying much attention to what their bodies need.

Even people with the best intentions can sometimes find it difficult to resist the less-healthy options.

Your waistline’s not the only thing at stake.

The foods you choose affect your energy, concentration, and memory, because your body and brain need the right nutrition to function properly.

So before you reach for a soda or another slice of pizza, remember that smart choices from the different food groups will help you feel your best.

What Does Your Body Need?

Nutritional requirements vary from person

to person, depending on age, sex, size, level of activity, and other factors.

For specific recommendations suited to your needs, talk to a doctor, registered dietitian, or your student health office or nutritional counselor at your university.

Nutrition experts recommend a balanced diet that includes: • whole grains • vegetables • fruit • lean meats, fish and other healthy sources of protein • low-fat or nonfat dairy Watch out for snack foods that tend to be high in sugar, fats, and calories.

They should only play a small role in your overall diet.

Overcoming Common Dining Hall Mistakes Even the most attentive diners can still make mistakes while filling their plates. For the best results at mealtime, follow a few simple guidelines: Take the right approach to food. Don’t feel guilty if you have a cheeseburger and French fries or a piece of cake. Instead of thinking of foods as “bad” or “good,” most experts say moderation is the key. Just pay attention to the size of the portions you take and how often you eat that food. Try not to get caught up in counting every calorie. It’s more important to concentrate on getting the nutrients you need by eating a wide variety of food and including plenty of fruits,

vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

Check your fluids. Be sure you stay hydrated throughout the day — and several cups of coffee or servings of soda don’t count. The caffeine in sodas and coffee is a diuretic (which means it makes you urinate more) and sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks are loaded with sugar, which can add up to extra pounds.

Instead, drink water and low-fat or nonfat milk.

Go for variety. Try not to eat the same one or two foods all the time — or take three of your food groups from the dessert counter! It’s healthier to focus on getting a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grain, and lowfat dairy. Try to include at least 3 food groups or think of the divided plate when planning your meal: Fill half

your plate with vegetables. Add a piece of fish (protein) and brown rice (starch) to round out your meal.

Don’t linger. Dining halls are like endless buffets. You can sit for hours,

and the longer you sit the more you can eat. Try to avoid hanging out in the dining hall for too long so you don’t eat more than your body needs.

Stock up on healthy snacks. Most dining halls

will let you take fruit or other healthy snacks with you when you leave. Slip an apple or an orange into your bag to help you resist the late-night lure of the vending machine later on.
