National School Bus Safety Week scheduled for October 20-24 In Missouri they use an 8-light school bus warning system. These lights are located on the front and the rear of the bus near the top where you see the words “SCHOOL BUS”. The lamps are used to warn other traffic about what the school bus is doing. When the bus is approaching a loading or unloading area, the yellow lights will flash. Red lights will flash when the bus is stopped to load or unload students and a stop arm will be extended from the side of the bus.

This system was adopted because it closely follows other traffic regulations.

The alternately flashing yellow lights mean “CAUTION” to other motorists because the bus is preparing to stop. The flashing red lights and stop arm mean “STOP”. Motorists are required, by law, to stop for a school bus displaying red flashing lights and stop arm.

Please help school bus drivers keep your children safe. Always yield to a school bus and the precious cargo they transport.

Another lighting issue they, as drivers, would like you to consider is your HEADLIGHTS. It is a fearful thing to a School Bus Driver to have a vehicle pop out of the fog, dusk or dawn, rain, when the sun is shining in your eyes or any other times when visibility is less than perfect with NO headlights on. You are not as visible as you can be with your headlights on. The quicker you see another vehicle the quicker you can drive defensively if the need should arise. Please use your headlights every time you get into your car, but especially when the visibility is reduced; and also let others know what you are planning to do by using your turn signals.

Their job as School Bus Drivers is to See Bus... Continued on page 3

Prairie Baptist and Mt. Prairie Presbyterian Cemeteries in Monroe County. Some of these cemeteries are still in use and have active cemetery associations. Maps showing burial locations in each cemetery were created as part of the project and are included in both the book and CD. All surviving headstones in both cemeteries were photographed in row order in Sept. 2013 and then compared to previous transcriptions, death certificates, obituaries and other records available to the Historical Society.

Cost of the directory and CD is $35 for the set or $20 each. Members of the Monroe County Historical Society receive a discount.

Please include $6.00 for postage if mailed. Contact the Monroe County Historical Research Center, 112 S. Main, P. 0. Box 131, Paris MO 65275 or phone 660-327-1831 for more information.

This is the sixth volume in a series of updated cemetery transcriptions with a companion photo CD published by MCHS. Each booklet includes an alphabetical list of known burials with birth and death dates, plus a section and row chart that gives the name of a spouse and/ or parents as determined primarily from headstone engravings, death records and obituaries. The companion CD includes photos of all headstones in alphabetical order. Pleasant Hill Cemetery was published in 2009 and has been updated recently. In 2010 a second set which includes Bryan, Cedar Grove, Long Branch and

New Hope cemeteries was released followed by a third set in 2011 for Bethel Cemetery in Holliday. A fourth set for Stoutsville/ St. Andrew Cemeteries was released in 2012.

JUST A THOUGHT

UST ASK DAVE...

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR

What Makes a Good Marriage

Election time… Elections are right around the corner - Tuesday, November 4.

Are you familiar with all the amendments in this year’s election? Do you know the candidates? Why should you even vote?

Voting is a way to speak your mind and let your voice be heard! Your vote is your voice. When we vote, we are actually telling elected officials and lawmakers how we feel about education, public safety, social security, health care, and other important issues.

One voice, one vote really does count! Remember: there is power in numbers, and when we vote and get our family members to vote, we can truly make a difference. If you don’t vote for what you believe in, others will – and you may not like the outcome. Our children are depending on us to represent their voices too! Because our children can’t vote, we have to do it for them.

That’s how we make our concerns about schools, safety, housing, and other issues heard. When we vote, we are looking out for our kids, and their futures. Voting changes communities! Do you ever wonder why one neighborhood gets passed over for things it needs, while another seems to get it all?

One big reason is voting.

When we vote, we can get results that we can actually see. Vote to effect change!

I thought it would be interesting to see what my twin boys would say when asked what makes a good marriage. Well, really I was hoping to get some funny or off-the-wall remarks that would give us all a good chuckle. But to my surprise their comments were very insightful. This is what they said when I asked them what they thought made a good marriage: First son: “You gotta be friends and then make sure you are kind to one another.”

I started thinking about his answer and the more I thought about it the more I realized how true his statement was. I have heard people say that their relationship with their spouse is more like that of friends and they believe it is a negative

It was through elections that we voted in officials who were champions for civil rights. Voting is our chance to make a difference in our own lives and within the world. Believe it or not, voting is a way of honoring our history!

As long as our country has existed, there have been people who didn’t want us to vote. There were several freedom fighters that stood up for the right to vote. Well, those times may seem ancient, but there are still people today who don’t want us to vote.

It’s now our turn to stand up and vote to preserve the honor of those who went before us. Last but not least, because it gives you credibility! Often times, we voice our concerns to elected officials, but if we aren’t voting, our concerns may not matter at all to them. Voting can actually give you the credibility to make your concerns a top priority for legislators.

It is almost time to vote – November 4 will be here before you know it. Educate yourself on the issues and the candidates and vote!

MY TURN

That Race Talk - A Few Baby Steps First In the continuing saga of the events in Ferguson and other instances of racial discontent and confrontation, there are renewed calls for serious discussions about race. I have been involved in such talks years ago and would be willing to do so again in hopes of their leading to continued progress toward improved race relations in our area.

It is hoped that such talks could be open and frank as well as friendly. Maybe this time we could explore some of the things we have in common as well as some of the things that members of other races enjoy that we either don’t do or do not care to do. We could begin in some areas like sports or music where we could find some mutual likes and dislikes. My early first and best sport was basketball but you couldn’t pay me to watch a professional game. This is mostly because of the energy that I like about high school and college ball. If we wanted to explore why many former fans no longer follow pro basketball and whether or not it may be because of the predominance of African American players might be open for discussion.

If we turned to music we could talk about how different artists perform the National Anthem and add their own notes

especially on the words “free” and “brave”. Is this acceptable for all artists or does it annoy purists that believe that it should be sung as written? And is the high note from the church trained African American woman any more pleasing or annoying than the low key effort of the country music guy?

And will I dare admit my aversion to rap? (I hesitate to call it music). My vision of hell is horseflies and bugs and constant rap.

Am I being racist because of that or am I free to be opposed to hearing it for being bad poetry and music? Or can I object to it for my reasons or that you can’t hum it in the shower.

And we will talk about “acting white” or “talking white” and why young African Americans are criticized for doing so.

And we may agree or not on the beauty and energy of what we witnessed for many years as black church music.

But if God had a foot he would be tapping it when songs and praise were offered from those venues.

And we could connect on Ray Charles’s version of “America the Beautiful” or anything Alicia Keyes sings.

After this easy introduction we can move to more serious racial issues with a more relaxed and confident attitude that can accomplish something good for all concerned.

thing. I don’t see how it is a bad thing to be friends with your spouse. When I think of someone who is a good friend I think about a person who is there for me through thick and thin, someone who encourages me, someone who wants the best for me, someone I can talk to and someone I can hang out and have fun with. I would think we would all want that kind of relationship with our spouse.

The other part of my son’s answer was to be kind to one another. I found it interesting that he chose the word kind instead of nice. I guess

to love yourself.”

The second part of this blew me away. I don’t know if he really understood how powerful that statement was-you have to love yourself. This has proven true in my own life. The more I love, accept and know who God created me to be, the better my marriage becomes.

Sometimes we want to focus on what the other person needs to do or what they need to change and completely look over our part. We think if our spouse would just start doing this or just stop doing that, everything would be better.

I read a book in my second year of my marriage that talked about how when your husband makes you mad don’t pray that God changes him but instead pray that God changes you. At first I was like WHAT? But then I started seeing how it made sense. If I was upset because my husband didn’t spend enough time talking to me or I thought Continued to page 4

I just thought nice was more of a word choice for a seven year old. I decided to look up the definition of the word kind and this is what it said: Of a friendly, generous, or warm-hearted nature.

Showing sympathy or understanding; charitable.

Being considerate, tolerant, generous, agreeable and beneficial.

I can see how being kind to our spouses would greatly improve our marriages especially being tolerant of one another.

I do not know about you but WHEW there are days I really need God’s help to be tolerant of some of the things my husband does. And there might be a day or two throughout the year that my husband needs God’s help to be tolerant of me-okay, okay, more like everyday. But in all seriousness if we were true friends to our spouses and showed them kindness as much as possible, I believe we would improve quality of our marriages.

Bruce Johnson joins Missouri State Bears 1998-99 basketball team in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame

by Denny Hollingsworth Retired Missouri State University agricultural business professor Dr. Bruce Johnson joined his school’s 1998-99 men’s basketball team as it was inducted in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, during ceremonies Sept 25.

The unheralded and unranked Missouri State team, coached by Steve Alford, made it to the NCAA Sweet 16 round before losing to the No. 1 seeded Duke Blue Devils of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Dr. Johnson, then Missouri State’s Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR), a position he held 15 years, 1996-2011, said he was honored to be included with the players and coaches of that special team.

“I was flattered to be included in the support group of that team and be inducted in the Hall of Fame with them, but, of course, the real story is the achievement of the 1998-99 men’s basketball team,” Dr. Johnson said.

As the university’s FAR, Dr. Johnson said he worked with the school’s president and athletic director to represent Missouri State in the governance structure of the Missouri Valley Conference and NCAA. In addition, he served four years on the Championships and Competition cabinet of the NCAA. He said he served at the pleasure of the Missouri State president and his on-campus duties included an annual report to the Board of Governors, chairing the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee, reporting to the Faculty Senate, and administering an annual NCAA rules test to coaches. In addition, he worked closely with the Student Athlete Advisory Committee.

He said during his 15year tenure as Missouri State’s FAR, it was his good fortune to have not only the 1998-98 Sweet 16 team, but a women’s basketball Final Four team in 2001 and the baseball team’s advance to the College World Series in 2003.

Dr. Johnson, 73, is a 1958 graduate of Paris High School. He has three college degrees, all in the

agricultural economics field; his under graduate degree is from the University of Missouri, 1962, and in 1965 he received a Master of Science degree from Iowa State University. He took a year off from his studies and spent it farming with his parents, the late Mary and Russell Johnson, in Monroe County, and joining the U.S. Army Reserve. He eventually received his Ph.D. from MU in 1970 and that same year began his academic career at Louisiana State University.

“We spent seven years at LSU and enjoyed it very much,” Dr. Johnson says, “but Missouri was home and we wanted to get back here. I’d always heard then-Southwest Missouri State had a good agricultural teaching program and was happy to be hired there in 1978.”

He spent 31 years at the Springfield school teaching several different agricultural classes including micro and macro economics as well as agricultural policy and financial management. During his tenure he served as an advisor of the local agricultural honor society, as well as 12 years as national advisor of The Honor Society of Delta Tau Alpha. He also served as president of the North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture organization.

After retiring from classroom teaching in 2009 he spent an additional two years in the FAR position as well as supervising students in agricultural internships.

he was cranky too much I would ask God to help me.

Then I noticed when he was in a bad mood or whatever, it wouldn’t bother me so I didn’t get cranky back with him or give him the silent treatment or play any other petty game. I instead let his mood ride out in turn his bad mood didn’t last as long and I was a lot happier.

In order for our marriages to flourish we need to be working on ourselves more than trying to work on our spouses. The only person we can change is ourselves and with the help of God we can make the positive changes but also learn how to see ourselves the way He does and ultimately truly love who He made us to be.

I didn’t get a chance to elaborate on the part where we need to love each other but I will end my article with this: Remember love is not a feeling but rather an action.

It is an action we chose to show our spouses until death do us part.

Dr. Johnson and his late wife, the former Sarah Jane Willier, had three sons: Dan, an attorney in Springfield; Phil, a former Missouri Tigers and Missouri State Bears starting quarterback, now an attorney and partner in the Lathrop & Gage law firm in Kansas City, and Kevin, a physician’s assistant at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas.

The retired professor is married to former Vicki Sterling of Wayne, Michigan. In retirement, the couple spend much time traveling between Texas and Kansas City, visiting her grandchildren in St.

safely transport children to and from school and other school activities. They very much appreciate your help in making this safer and easier. Thank you for your kind and helpful cooperation in these lighting matters.

The School Bus Drivers would also ask for your help, as “National School Bus Safety Week” gets closer, to help them by reinforcing the following rules the children should follow on and around the bus that will help them to stay safe and allow the drivers to transport them safely.

1) Always stay out of the danger zones around the bus. This is the area 10’ or less on all sides of the bus.

2) Never stop to pick-up items dropped outside the bus. We might lose sight of you.

3) Arrive at your bus stop 5 minutes early.

4) Wait at least 10’ from the roadway for the bus and no horseplay at the bus stop.

5) Always wait for the bus to stop, the red lights and stop arm to activate and the driver to motion that it is safe before coming to the bus or crossing the road.

6) Do not go behind the bus because the driver cannot see you.

7) Always use the handrail when you get on and off of the bus.

8) Keep your book bag on your lap or under your seat.

Omar Bradley researcher visits Moberly Library New Book On Five-Star General Omar Bradley

The Soldier’s General: Omar Bradley and the United States Military in Peace and War is the full-life biography of Missouri native Omar Nelson Bradley (1893-1981), the last five-star General of the U.S. Army. The book includes his World War II service in North Africa, Sicily, and the European theater, where he achieved international acclaim as the “soldier’s general.” Immediately after the war, Bradley headed the Veterans Administration, implementing the 1944 G. I. Bill for returning service members. Two years later he became Army Chief of Staff and then, during the Korean War, served as the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Following a four-

decade military career, Bradley spent some twenty years in the corporate world, a key figure in the rise of the U.S. military-industrial complex. As chairman of the Bulova Company during the Vietnam conflict, he led the firm’s transformation from watch-making into one of the nation’s foremost defense contractors. And, through his best-selling memoir and as adviser for the awardwinning movie Patton, Bradley became a highly influential contributor to the public memory of World War II’s “Greatest Generation.”

Petterchak is a researcher and writer of biographies and business histories. Her publications include Lone Scout: W.

ical Library and president of the Sangamon County (Illinois) Historical Society. She is a member of the Society of Midland Authors and the St. Louis Writers Guild.

Janice Petterchak will visit the Moberly Library on Saturday, November 1.

She will be giving a program on Omar Bradley at 1:30 p.m., with a book signing to follow.

How does your corn or soybean crop look this year?

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Missouri farmers will see a record breaking yield. In 2004 the record number of bushels per acres was set at 162. In 2014, the projected bushel per acre is 180 which is a 44 bushel per acre increase from 2013 and a new state record. The total number of bushels harvested by Missouri farmers is expected to reach 599 million.

Soybeans farmers are also having a great year.

Total harvest estimates are set at 258 million bushels. That’s a lot of beans! The breakdown per acre is 46 bushels.

This year’s climate has had a huge affect on the yields. Timely rainfall was key in allowing crops to reach their full potential. Mild temperatures have also assisted in what will prove to be a bountiful harvest season.

A little bit of trivia: 55 million bushels of soybeans is enough to fill 3,800 barges.

A Beautiful Day in Florida!

The 7th annual Cemetery Walk in Florida expanded with a co-event of a 5-kilometer Fun Run/ walk this past weekend.

Sponsored by the Friends of Florida, the crisp, sunny Saturday began with a run along the bluffs overlooking Mark Twain Lake, providing the winded participants a the spectacular view of the lake some 70 feet above the glistening waters. The course also allowed the runners to “walk in the same steps” of young Mark Twain in his hometown of Florida.

Although Clemens described these roads as ‘mud in winter, and dust in the summer’, the streets of Mill, Walnut, and Main are now asphalt paved allowing the smooth glide of baby strollers as participants made it a family event. Perhaps the street surface was the only difference in the serene village that Samuel Clemens ran through as a child.

The quaint village is relatively untouched by urban development. Its pastoral

The next meeting for “9-12 We the People of Monroe County”, will be Thursday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., at the Paris Public Library in Paris.

Place Noah Baker 37:17.

Owen Buie, age 7, of Paris, accompanied by his father Doug Buie, was the youngest running participant. Many parents “coached” their young children by example and side-by-side support throughout the race. Mark Twain 4H club helped with the event and cheered the runners to the finish line.

The cemetery walk allowed character portrayals of previous deceased residents of Florida Mo by various members of the Friends of Florida. The visitors to the cemetery had oral accounts of the lives of these former Florida residents and the hardships they encountered in daily living, disease, development of a agricultural economy, and the Civil War. Virginia Young, from Durham North Carolina, came to portray her great, great grandmother, Young a resident of Florida in 1845. ?? Pollard portrayed his great, great, great grandfather Braxton Pollard Senior, a American Revolutionary War soldier, originally from Virginia, but buried in Florida Cemetery. Other members portrayed relatives of Mark Twain, settlers both male and female who struggled to live comfortably and safely in

early Florida, as well as Dad Viollette,--played by Homer McCollum-- the initial preservationist of the Clemens home in the 1920’s and one of motivators for the first State park, North of the Missouri River.

Ken McKee, an author of book concerning his Monroe County ancestors McKee and Chapman’s accounts of their Civil War experiences came from Vancouver, Washington to assist the Monroe County Historical society in the promotion of the various society’s publications.

Karlena Shatzer and Viola Beamer, coauthors with McKee. unveiled the Society’s sixth of a series of publications dealing with the various cemeteries in Monroe County which included the Florida Cemetery where the event was held.

The morning events culminated with luncheon sales by the Friends of Florida for a societal dinner with delicious desserts. Hot dogs along with camaraderie were served up in the sunshine of the Key West RV park pavilion. And with that, the weary bones of runners and the cemetery residents were put to rest for another year. Or at least until the Halloween festivities…

On Sunday, October 12, Sally Blakemore opened services at Holliday Christian Church with a piano prelude, “For the Beauty of the Earth”. All were welcomed by Revered David Holmes.

The collection of special harvest offerings will continue each Sunday in October. A note of appreciation for use of the church from Clark and Kayla Morgan was shared. Practice for the Madison Community Christmas Cantata will begin on Wednesday, October 15 and continue each Wednesday evening until the December event.

Happy birthday wishes were for: Ernie Baker and Justin Bartels. Happy first anniversary wishes were for Merle and Julie Clifton and 17th anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jarman.

The opening hymn, “Praise Him! Praise Him!” was sung; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed. Prayer concerns were voiced for: Jerry Arends, Mac Donovan, Cindi Mitchell and Cathy Gremaud’s mother, Toni. Sympathy was expressed to the family of Frances Dodge. Joys were shared: Phil Blakemore’s (in his one word description) supercalifragilisticexpialidocious trip to Washington, D.C. with the Honor Flight; Pete and Margaret Olney and Barbara Jarman’s 1,000 mile trip this week in a 1941 Chevrolet; Aileen Putnam’s granddaughter, Erin VanPraag, earning her white coat in physical therapy; Sam Nugent who was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Truman. Prayers were also asked for Sam as he battles cancer. Safe travels were wished for Mark and Mary Beth Einerson as they return from Italy and Nellis and Berna Kotsenburg.

“Let the Lower Lights Be Burning” was the prayer hymn sung; singing was followed by pastoral prayer. As elders, Jerry Ragsdale and Guy Callison went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table, the communion hymn, “Break Thou the Bread of Life” was sung. Gerald Roberts and Gary Wilson served as deacons.

The doxology closed the communion service.

“Is That What You’re Wearing?” was the title of the morning message referenced with scripture from Matthew 22:1-14.

If we prepare for a feast, as God did, and only a few out of all who are invited show up – God feels our rejection to His invitation. He invites all – no one is left out. Yet, we want to be part of the feast, wearing what we want to wear, not submitting to God’s terms. Thus note the difference between just joining a church and serving Jesus.

The closing hymn, “I Need Thee Every Hour” was sung and was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

The monthly congregational meeting was called to order by Chairman Gary Wilson. Minutes of the September meeting were approved as read by Carole Roberts, Secretary, as were the financial reports presented by Jane Akers. Roof coating has been completed on the Post Office building; guttering will be installed. The meeting was adjourned on motion by Jerry Ragsdale, second by Johnny Ragsdale.

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

Prayer led by Min. Fugate Scripture read by Min. Berry Offering directed by Min. Berry Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “From Metaphysical to Metaphorical Metaphysical: based on speculative reasoning or imagination Metaphorical: a figure of speech in which a term is transferred from the object, designates only by implicit comparison (something said in such a way, that there is no doubt or question) The text: From Metaphysical to Metaphorical means moving from speculative reason, to what you heard and there is no doubt or questioning. This seems almost impossible to do especially when there is hardly anything that stands true anymore, that is what is called is metaphysical thinking. Only our faith in God and his work will cause one to think and function in a metaphorical (there is no doubt or questioning) way. Isaiah 42:5 Thus says God the Lord who created the heavens and stretched them out; who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it who give breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it.

We must have the frame of mind about God, that he is the only true God our savior. The forecast of the economic future is bleak and appears to worsen as times unfold, yet God continually tell us Isaiah 45:18 “For thus say the Lord, who created the heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it, who established it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us on October 18 for Bishop & Co Pastor Long Pastors anniversary service at 2 p.m.

The Paris First Christian Church invites everyone to enjoy good food and fellowship every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Wednesday Nite Live, a light dinner and devotional sponsored by the Evangelism/Membership Committee, costs $3 for adults, $1 for children.

Steve Ensor announced the wood cutting mission is starting.

John Mitchell gave the children’s sermon. God has made provisions for us. Cows are part of the provisions. When we eat a hamburger or cheeseburger, we get our beef and also cheese from the cow. The cow also furnishes ice cream; cow hides provide cowboy boots and belts. Everything good is a provision from God; we should not take these provisions for granted. Shirley Loar and Stephen Hammond led children’s church.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Romans 12:1&2, titled “A living Sacrifice”. We should not allow Satan to pull us away from our personal growth in Christ. Being “Religious” may lead us away from our walk with Jesus; leading us into following rules and regulations when all we need is to follow Jesus. Our life is a living sacrifice and animal sacrifices are no longer needed. In 1 Samuel, Chapter 15, Saul disobeyed God’s commands by bringing back animals for sacrifice because the people wanted this. Because of this Samuel was sorry he had made him King. In Paul’s writing, Romans 12:2, Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. At the conclusion of the service Steve Ensor sang a solo, “The Stand”.

“Wrong Teachings” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scripture text taken from 1 Timothy 1:1-11. This was one of Paul’s letter written to his student, Timothy, for the church of Ephesus. Two main points from his sermon were 1) Heed to the doctrine of God -- the Bible and 2) Follow His commandment of love because God IS love. Timothy was a good steward of this ministry. We should pay attention to what is being taught. In order to do this, we need to know the Word and read it everyday.

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Dane Kendrick, Don Wilkerson, Charlie Thomas, Charlie Horstmeier, Wayne Conley and Dennis Kendrick.

Baptisms for Dickie Johnson and Kyley Johnson were held following church service at the Johnson lake.

Twenty-one churches were represented at the women’s salad supper held Sunday night, Oct. 12. Everyone enjoyed hearing Pastor Barbara Zastrow’s program on her trip to Israel last year.

Granville Christian Church board met Wednesday, October 8 to make plans for the quarter. We will be hosting a Halloween Party on Saturday night, October 25 at 6 p.m. The young adults are in charge of the hayride, wiener roast, costume contest and pumpkin contest. We will also observe our annual Memorial Sunday and Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday, November 2. The church will go caroling November 30. The Christmas program will be December 7. We have made tentative plans for several special events in the church this fall and winter, including a guest speakers, special music and a revival. More details will be posted as they are confirmed.

We are still sending care packages to servicemen and women in the combat zones. Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses We have sent about 185 packages over the last several years. When we reach 200, we will have a celebration dinner. We also have cookbooks available, with the proceeds going to Relay for Life. Contact Dale Ann Magruder for those. A scrapbooking day has been set for February 21 to benefit Relay for Life. Contact Melinda James for more information.

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 (October 19, November 2, 16 and 30 ). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.

On October 12 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: October 25 at 1 p. m. will be a visitation time at Miller’s Retirement Care and at 6 p.m. will be the Weiner Roast and Hay Ride at the church, on December 14 will be the Christmas Program during morning service, followed by a carryin dinner, and caroling at 2 p. m.

The message this week was titled ‘By the Will of God’ and came from 1 Timothy 1:1-7. By the will of God Paul was called to be an apostle. By the will of God every Christian is called to a ministry that brings glory to God. The will of God became the most important thing in the believer’s life at the moment of salvation because the believer gives up their own will to follow Christ’s will.

Our faith in Christ leads us in fulfilling God’s will for our lives. Genuine faith will not let God’s will be delegated to second place in a person’s life. The victorious abundant life Christ promises His followers is found in knowing the will of God for your life and wrapping all else in life around that will. Too many believers today try to inject God into their life instead of building their life around God. Do you realize by faith in God’s will for your life that you have a purpose that is eternal and not temporary?

What a Christian does in the body follows them to heaven and to have a strong heavenly remembrance is more important than an earthly, temporary one. All we do will be in heaven with us and a faithful floor sweeper has a better heavenly remembrance than an unfaithful preacher.

By faith in God’s will for our lives we are to be thankful to be able to serve God. Serving God requires paying a cost but draws the believer into a relationship with God that cannot be found any other way. It is well worth the cost. We all serve something and Christ is the best Lord anyone can find. Be thankful for your clean conscience in Christ. He forgave your past sin and gave you new life. Learn to forgive yourself for your past – Jesus did. This allows you to walk in the newness of life.

Be thankful we can pray to God with assurances that only children of God have. We know God hears and answers our prayers because God says He does. This is not true for the lost and rebellious; they can only hope God hears. Be thankful we can find joy in one another’s faith. I hope your faith brings someone else joy when they meet with you. Be thankful for Christian maturing. We are called to grow in Christ and not to remain babes. If you grow you will serve God. Finally be thankful for the Holy Spirit God has given each of His children. We need not be afraid of anything in this world. God promises He will provide all we need. Do you trust God enough to grow in Him? Turn lose of the world and turn completely to God to find the Holy Spirit’s power, love, and guidance for a sound mind. Be encouraged today, God loves you.

COMMUNITY NEWS USDA expands micro-loan program limits to help improve farm loans Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will improve farm loans by expanding eligibility and increasing lending limits to help more beginning and family farmers. As part of this effort, USDA is raising the borrowing limit for the microloan program from $35,000 to $50,000; simplify the lending processes; updating required “farming experience” to include other valuable experiences; and expanding eligible business entities to reflect changes in the way family farms are owned and operated. The changes become effective Nov. 7.

“USDA is continuing its commitment to new and existing family farmers and ranchers by expanding access to credit,” said Harden. “These new flexibilities, created by the 2014 Farm Bill, will help more people who are considering farming and ranching, or who want to strengthen their existing family operation.”

The microloan changes announced today will allow beginning, small and mid-sized farmers to access an additional $15,000 in loans using a simplified application process with up to seven years to repay. Microloans are part of USDA’s continued commitment to small and midsized farming operations.

In addition to farm related experience, other types of skills may be considered to meet the direct farming experience required for farm loan eligibility such as operation or management of a non-farm busi-

ness, leadership positions while serving in the military, or advanced education in an agricultural field. Also, individuals who own farmland under a different legal entity operating the farm now may be eligible for loans administered by USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). Producers will have an opportunity to share suggestions on the microloan process, and the definitions of farming experience and business structures through Dec. 8, 2014, the public open comment period.

FSA is also publishing a Federal Register notice to solicit ideas from the public for pilot projects to help increase the efficiency and effectiveness

of farm loan programs.

Comments and ideas regarding potential pilot projects will be accepted through Nov. 7, 2014.

Since 2010, USDA has made a record amount of farm loans through FSA — more than 165,000 loans totaling nearly $23 billion. More than 50 percent of USDA’s farm loans now go to beginning farmers. In addition, USDA has increased its lending to socially-disadvantaged producers by nearly 50 percent since 2010.

These programs were made possible by the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achiev-

ing meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.

Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America. For more information, visit www.usda. gov/farmbill.

According to Monroe County Clerk Sandra Francis, team voting will be provided prior to the November 4, 2014 General Election. Anyone who is shut in and unable to go to the polls may request the “Absentee Team” to visit them in their home or they may contact the County Clerk’s Office to be placed on the permanent disabled list.

Missouri Election Law 115.284 (I) establishes an absentee voting process to assist persons with permanent disabilities in the exercise of their voting rights.

Mrs. Francis urges anyone who would like to be placed on the list to contact her office by either mail or telephone. Those people who are already on the permanent list will remain on the list and do not need to contact the of-

fice.

Individuals wanting more information on either of the above need to contact the County Clerk’s Office, 300 North

Main, Room 204 or telephone 660-327-5106.

The Absentee team will visit area nursing homes on Tuesday, October 28.

Suzy Otto, Paris, who teaches chemistry at Paris High School, recently completed the Chemistry Immersion Program (CHIP) at the University of Missouri. CHIP, a twoweek experiential learning program, aims to enhance student learning in chemistry and biochemistry by increasing instructors’ knowledge of laboratory techniques and then engaging teachers alongside students.

“I spent one week working with MU chemistry and biochemistry faculty to learn new laboratory technology and techniques,” Otto said, “The second week, I was given opportunities to work with CHIP students and teach them using the skills I learned through the program.”

Four high school chemistry and biochemistry teachers were selected as Teacher Fellows and spent

two weeks at the University of Missouri collaborating with peers and mastering laboratory activities.

Teachers spent the first week working with MU researchers to complete eight labs, enhance knowledge of laboratory technology and plan ways to implement CHIP strategies in their classrooms. The second week, teacher fellows refined strategies for teaching use of laboratory technology and applied the previous week’s methods to teach CHIP student scholars in laboratory settings.

“The goal of the CHIP program is to get students excited about a career in science while giving them a jump start on the college chemistry experience,” said Renee Jiji, CHIP director and an associate professor in the MU Department of Chemistry.

CHIP Student Scholars, all of whom were rising seniors or incoming college

freshmen, spent one week on MU’s campus working to increase proficiency in college-level chemistry and biochemistry laboratories. Students were given opportunities to experience everyday life on a college campus through activities such as a trivia night, a beach volleyball game and a nighttime trip to Laws Observatory. Throughout the program, students also were able to meet with undergraduate researchers and learn about research opportunities at MU. CHIP is funded through grants from the National Science Foundation. MU is the largest and oldest university of the state’s major public, land-grant research institutions.

The Paris Coyotes traveled to Marceline to face the Tigers on their field on Friday, October 10.

The defenses were the word of the day with Paris amassing only 150 yards of total offense – 144 yards through the air and only 6 yards on the ground.

Marceline scored a first quarter TD and a second quarter score, both extra points failed for the 12-0 final The Coyotes and Marceline offenses spent most of the game between the 20’s passing, running and turning the ball over to the other team. Laine Forrest had a key interception for the Coyotes that ended a Tiger drive that was marching down the field. Austin Coffman had two important defensive plays that ended Tiger drives as they both came on four down tries. On one play Coffman made a first down saving tackle and on the other batted a pass away that would have given the Tigers a new set of downs.

Paris had two key offensive drives that fell just short. On one drive, it was first and ten from the Tiger six yard line, however, Paris could not punch the ball

into the end zone on four tries. On the other drive quarterback Kyle Popkes lifted a rainbow pass to a streaking double teamed Laine Forrest who turned, skied and pulled down the ball but while turning on his landing, with two players draped all over him, the tip of the ball barely hit the ground and popped out of his hands. Forrest was the go to receiver for Popkes as Slater Stone was double and triple covered all game. Forrest grabbed 9 balls on the day for over 100 yards of arial real estate.

Defensively, Breck Hancock followed up his 20 tackle with a 21 tackle game – including four tackles for a loss. Briar Hancock and Mike Ensor each added 14 tackles while Laine Forrest had a 13 tackle game.

August Hayhurst and Jon Turner each had a sack of the Tiger QB for 5 and 4 yards respectively.

The game was called a moral victory by many fans as the Coyotes strayed into the backyard of a Top Ten team and came away with a 12-0 score.

Statistics Passing: Kyle Popkes completed 14 passes in 35

attempts for 144 yards.

Receiving: Line Forrest grabbed 9 balls for 103 yards, Slater Stone 2/21, Jon Turner 3/20.

Rushing: Popkes 1 carry for -5 yards, Forrest 3/5, Tucker Gruber 16/16.

Defensive statistics Tackles: Slater Stone 9, Jon Turner 7, Jacob Pease 6, Forrest 12, Jacob Wolfe 1, Tucker Gruber 8, Breck Hancock 21, Austin Coffman 2, Briar Hancock 14, August Hayhurst 7, Dylan Langerud 6, Mike Ensor 14.

Tackles for a loss: Turner 1, Breck Hancock 4, Briar Hancock 4, August

Hayhurst 3, Mike Ensor 1.

Sacks: Turner 1, Hayhurst 1.

Interceptions: Forrest The Coyotes face Salisbury on Senior Night this Friday, October 17, with kickoff set for 7 p.m.

What a shake up in the district this week as Paris fell to fifth place and if the season ended today would have to travel to Knox County in the first round and if won would then have to travel to South Shelby the next week.

Everything for district depends on this Friday’s games around the district.

District Semi Final – Sturgeon Madison fell 11-2 to Sturgeon in the district semi-final that began after 11 p.m., and moved to Fayette due to weather.

“Sturgeon jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the first when the put up three quick runs,” said Coach Bryany Jones.

“We managed to settle in after getting out of that inning and put up some zeroes. It was still 3-0 in the top of the fourth when Maddie Breid singled to start the inning. Payton followed with a line drive up the middle to send

Maddie to third. Maddie scored on a wild pitch and Payton did the same to pull us with in one run.

It was still 3-2 when we reached the bottom of the fifth and Sturgeon started getting solid contact.

They got their first two on with base hits, we got the third hitter out, then three consecutive hits later they had stretched their lead to 7-2. They tacked on two more that inning and two more in the sixth. We played what may have been our best game defensively. Breanna Hancock caught two trying to steal to limit their running game and that helped us stay with them early.”

Jenna Stoebe was named to the All District Team for Madison.
