Recently, OATS drivers and riders met with the Monroe County Commissioners to talk about county support and donations.

OATS Driver Barbara Bergthold noted that budget cuts has caused five routes to be dropped in the local area. This loss of routes not only reduces places that residents can go to but also puts area businesses in a small districts as the riders no longer visit businesses and purchase items at these establishments.

OATS serves more than 32,000 people in Missouri. Last year, OATS provided 1,594,584 one-way trips with a staff of 700.

OATS, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation providing specialized transportation for senior citizens, people with disabilities and the rural general public in 87 Missouri counties.

Contrary to their early years, OATS no longer stands for “Older Adults Transportation Service”… their official name now is OATS, Inc. OATS is a public transportation system that is available to everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, color, religion, or national origin, and in fact serves a wide diversity of clientele. OATS, Inc. helps people get to work, doctor appointments, essen-

tial shopping, and other places people need to go.

Founded in 1971 by a group of seniors who saw a need for transportation, especially in rural areas, OATS has grown to be one of the largest and most unique systems of its kind in the country. As a public transportation provider, OATS buses traveled 14.8 million miles last year to serve residents in the Show-Me State.

The mission of OATS, Inc. is to provide reliable transportation for transportation disadvantaged Missourians so they can live independently in their own communities.

JUST A THOUGHT

UST ASK DAVE...

BY LISA TALTON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

From the desk of the Editor

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR

Stuck In the Mud (Part 2)

Football is over... Well the football season has come to an end.

It didn’t end the way we wanted it to end but the Coyotes 6-5 record, coupled with a district win overall was different from what was predicted early in the pre-season by the pigskin prognosticators.

Whether on the sidelines or in the announcer’s booth I have watched this team for every play of the season.

I watched a group of young men play side by side with each other and never give up or never let down. They played their game whether up by 20 or down by 20.

I watched these dedicated and enthusiastic young men encourage and push each other to limits I am sure they never thought possible.

I saw young, inexperienced players reach that level of experience that only comes with encouragement, practice and help from their fellow teammates.

I saw a coaching staff work tirelessly with their players from beginning to end no matter what the score - fans and opponents could always say - “the Coyotes came to play.”

It was my distinct plea-

My son: “I mean it mom. I can not get out.

YOU HAVE TO CALL 911!”

Me: “I am not calling 911.” (As I am talking I am trying to get closer to the creek where my son is so I can get a better handle on the situation.)

My son: “I don’t think I can get out.”

As he is talking I manage to push through the limbs and weeds so I can see him. He is down in the creek and appeared to be entangled in and behind a cluster of tree limbs. I was not sure if he was stuck in the creek or in the branches. I looked around to see how in the world I was going to get to him. The drop from the ledge to the creek was really deep. I could not figure out how he even got down there. So I asked my son some questions.

Me: “Are you stuck in the branches or the creek?”

My son: “I’m stuck in the mud in the creek.”

Me: “Are you hurt?”

My son: “No.” “I think I might be able to get myself out. I don’t know.”

I tried to maneuver around to where he was

sure to announce the home varsity, junior varsity and junior high games this season. I would like to say thank you to the players and fans - both home and away who always displayed good sportsmanship and had a great attitude toward fair play.

As they say - wait until next year - for the Coyotes this is a battle cry as they return numerous skilled and dedicated position players.

Congratulations to the 2014 Coyote record setters!

Kyle Popkes set the Coyote career passing attempts with 675.

Career touchdowns was set by Tucker Gruber with 24.

August Hayhurst set the single season sack record with 12.5.

Laine Forrest set the career interception record with 15 and will return for his senior season!

Go Coyotes!

MY TURN

tation and present Grand Jury deliberations.

As justification for the current need for these figures the Post quotes some obscure research group called the “Police Foundation” which strangely enough is not a foundation as we usually think of those charitable groups.

Almost every edition of the Post that I have seen since the unfortunate death of Michael Brown on August 9 has had at least one story related somehow to that event.

Besides the financial goal of selling more papers, one can only wonder why it is necessary to find a way in each issue to make mention of this even if you have to stretch to make the connection like Sunday’s story. As Sergeant Friday used to say “Just the facts sir/ma’am”.

Give it a break.

but I kept losing my shoes (not really my shoes but my husbands slippers that were way too wide and way too big for my feetI had put on the closest shoes I could find when I went to check on the kids not knowing I would be going on a expedition through muddy terrains.)

Me: “I am going to have to go back to the house to put on some shoes so I can get you out.” “Are you going to be okay?”

My son: “Yes.” As I was fast walking back through the field I thought about how frustrating it is when my children do not listen to me.

I wish they could understand that rules are set in place so these kind of things do not happen. I wish they could understand that we parents do not just make up rules to make their lives miserable, boring and uneventful-that we parents actually have a little bit

with white socks pulled up to my knees and a stocking cap on my head.

(The things we do for love.)

Okay, now I have tennis shoes on so I can run instead of walk. Well, I ran for about a minute before I was out of breath then I went from a run to a very slow jog. I made it to the back of the field and started calling my son’s name. Then to my surprise out of the tall weeds springs a boy who looks very much like my son who only a few minutes ago said he was stuck in the creek. Then we had this conversation: Me: “I thought you were stuck.”

My son: “I was.”

Me: “What happened?”

My son: “I prayed and prayed and prayed to God and then I got out.” *Tune in next week for the conclusion of ‘Stuck In the Mud’.

Still Stirring the Ferguson Pot One of the complaints my more conservative friends often share is that the “liberal” press is guilty of tossing fuel on the fire on a daily basis. At least one of them appears to also be helping keep the conflict in Ferguson, Missouri alive on a daily basis as well. The center front page of my Sunday Post Dispatch asks the question in large print “who counts how many people the police kill? “Nobody” in even larger print. The Post’s study of reporting shows some gaps in reporting of shootings by police but reporting is not required.

Inside, the paper traces the sudden interest in these numbers to, you guessed it, “Ferguson tensions”. And, of course, yet another opportunity to replay the two sides of the story of the Brown and officer Wilson confron-

of knowledge and wisdom and sometimes even know what we are talking about. I then decided to get off my soap box because number one, no one but me was listening and two, I remembered how I didn’t listen to my parents as much as I should have either.

I made it back to the house and started putting on my rescue gear. First, I put on my husband’s tube socks and pulled them all the way up to my knees. I had on capris and I knew it would not be good to go in all the weeds, grass, mud and whatever else I might encounter with bare legs. Then I put on some old, dirty sneakers that I hadn’t worn in I don’t know how long.

I was actually going to throw them away but never got around to it.

(Who says procrastination is a bad thing?) Then I searched for a cap to put on my head. I can not stand ticks and I wanted to make sure my head was covered. ( I know I was worrying about myself when my poor son was stuck in the creek but sometimes the selfish side of me comes out.) I finally found a gray thick stocking cap and was ready to begin my mission. You can only imagine how attractive I looked. And to top it off it was well over 85 degrees and here I am

work towards improving their curriculum and opportunities to open the eyes of the students to the world that is outside the wall of Paris R-II. Attendance centers include a grade PK-6 Elementary School, 7-8 Junior High School and a 9-12 High School.

The philosophy of the Paris R-II School District is driven by the district’s goal of “Building a foundation for a positive future.” A former staff member shares, “Never in my dreams for my teaching career did I imagine I would have the privilege of teaching in such an outstanding district as the Paris R-II School District for 18 years. From the minute I walked into the school district to the day I retired, the staff, students and community demonstrated dedication to our school and pride for our school.”

The district has outstanding and dedicated teachers in the elementary, junior high and high school. In addition, to the required classes, the highly qualified staff provides advanced courses in math and science and offer vocational career education programs in business and

agriculture. Many of the teachers teach college level classes that help students for the transition from high school to college.

The staff will do whatever it takes to make sure the students have the best education they can provide, from learning new techniques, writing and updating curriculum, to providing extra help outside the normal school day. Paris continues to improve their APR. In 2013 the APR was 90.7, not satisfied and the drive to continually improve, the district’s APR in 2014 was 94.3.

The Paris R-II School District may not have the largest student body, the most money, or the biggest buildings, however, they are “Outstanding” because of the great students, great teachers, great staff, and great support from the parents and the community, including a very progressive and involved board of education to lead the way.

Congratulations to the Paris R-II School District board of education, the administration, the staff, students and community, for a job well done and your selection as the Outstanding Rural Missouri School District for the 2014-2015 school year.

Award winning 4-H Meats Team Agri-News speaks to Paris Lions Club

by Maddie Breid

As cold weather is upon us, have you taken all the steps to insure that your pastured pigs can survive the harsh winter? The first step is making sure that the pigs are in good physical condition. Balanced diet will provide enough nutrients to guarantee good physical condition. Hogs that are not used to being fed hay, It will not easily acclimate to hay fed in winter, nor will they get the same feed value from it. It is good to introduce hay gradually into their diet prior to cold temperatures.

Reserve pasture for winter grazing. A pasture with gradual slopes will provide dry areas for the hogs to feed. Wooded areas are also ideal for grazing. Trees provide for a natural windbreak as well as shelter from the elements.

Always have an area prepared for sick hogs as well. A faulty immune system makes them susceptible to the cold. Make sure you are able to easily transport the sick to a sheltered area with as little stress to them as possible.

Although not ideal, farrowing does happen in winter. Sows and their newborns, provided with good shelter, can thrive in cold temperatures.

Being prepared in advance will guarantee a successful winter for your head of hogs.

On Wednesday, November 5, the Monroe County 4-H Meat Judging Team spoke to the Paris Lions Club Members.

The team members were: Hannah Mitchell, daughter of Joey and Kim Mitchell, Abagail Robertson, daughter of Richard and Tammy Robertson, Patrick and Zackary Ensor, sons of Edith and Matt Ensor.

Letter to the Editor - Monroe County Appeal

Editor’s Note: The election results showed a positive number of yes votes for the Madison C-3 Bond Issue (190-174), however the issue needed a 57% vote and failed with only a 52% yes vote.

Dear Editor, When we turn our children over to the school each day, we are entrusting them with not only their education but their safety and well being. So imagine my dismay, and eventual disgust, at the voters of Madison when I discovered on November 5th that they had, once again, NOT voted to support the school in their endeavor to obtain the necessary funds to fix their roof and make things safer and more secure for the children of our community. While I can understand a bank turning a person or business down for a loan, I can’t understand a community refusing to support their school and the children by doing much the same. Not once, but twice now this request has been denied.

While I’ve come to expect excuses such as “I don’t have a child in the school” or “I don’t want to pay any more in taxes” growing up in the city, I can honestly say that I never expected it from our small rural community, though I can’t say for certain those are the excuses being given by those against this proposition. On the flip side, lack of support can also be attributed to those not registered to vote because of disgust with all things political OR those registered voters not taking the time. In any of those instances, shame on you. If you aren’t reg-

Callaway Livestock Center, Inc.

istered or can’t be bothered to vote, then don’t bother griping and complaining when things aren’t as you think they should be, you didn’t exercise your rights to let your voice be heard, therefore you don’t have the right to speak out after the fact. For those that did vote, would that $0.1500 per $100 assessed valuation really been such a huge difference for you that you couldn’t see your way clear to give the school and our kids a little extra support?

I contacted the Asssessors office, did the math, using our own assessed valuation information, and came up with the total we would personally be responsible for. It was a whopping $18.44....that’s a ONE YEAR amount. Break that down, it’s $1.54 a month. I’ve watched people spend more than that on lottery tickets, garbage food, candy, and soda at Casey’s in five minutes. For those that have higher assessed valuation, your purchase was made by choice, not force, and you knew in doing so that you were responsible for taxes of ALL sorts and that they would be higher. Deal with it. I know none of us like the idea of paying extra in our taxes but, for me personally, when the cost to me is weighed against the cost to the children in our school, it’s a no brainer and I’ll support the children and the school every time.

For them, it amounts to not walking down the halls or rearranging the classroom in order to avoid or dodge trash cans being set up to catch the rain and moisture dripping in through the damage in the roof. It amounts to safety thanks to necessary upgrades to security systems to help guard against a worst case scenario that none of us want to think about showing up at our school’s doorstep as it did at Sandy Hook.

Regardless of whether or

not you have a child in Madison C-3, they are all our children because we are a small community.

We don’t have a child in Madison C-3, we have a Grandchild. Many of you in this community attended school here, none of our family did, yet we still bear a certain amount of responsibility to them, just as we do the rest of the community since we moved here. Madison is not a big city where you barely know your neighbor, or don’t know them at all. Our school is not an over populated system where children’s names are not known. Madison is a place where, at the very least, we know each others faces and we say hello and we see each other around town, at church or the bank or at the school and/or school functions to support the Panthers. We support our children, whether they are our blood or not, because they are our future.

Our school’s mission is to prepare and empower students to make respectful, responsible and safe choices to become lifelong learners and problem solvers. I don’t believe, in my heart of hearts, that our community showed our students any respect or showed that we feel any responsibility towards them in this particular instance. I am truly disappointed in your selfish behavior Madison.

County Meats team thrives in competition The Monroe County 1st Place Meats Identification Team traveled to Manhattan, Kansas on October 20, 2014 to compete in the 4-H National Meat Judging Competition. This was the tenth trip Charlie Rosenkrans has made to compete at the national level, coaching Monroe County Meats kids since the 1980’s. In 2014, he, along with Leslie Rosenkrans, coached Hannah Mitchell, Patrick Ensor, Zackary Ensor, and Abagail Robertson to a win at the State Contest in February with practices resuming in August to compete at K-State in October. The team, along with many other state teams from across the nation, judged 30 retail meat cuts, placed six classes, including two carcass classes, and gave

oral reasons on three classes. They used their skills in the Retail Division identifying the species, the origin of the cut, the retail name, and cookery method. Classes they placed included fresh hams and pork loin chops. The team re-

ceived 13th overall at the awards ceremony at the American Royal on October 22.

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, November 9. The ushers for this week’s service were John Gilmore and Bob Mckinney . Patti Grimmett led the congregation into worship service with, “Rejoice!

The Lord is Come.” Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns and celebrations. The call to worship was from Psalm 17 and 98.

Pastor John Grimmett led the congregation in a prayer of confession. He gave a pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer.

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, November 16. 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.

On November 9 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church activities of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend.

Announcements included: a Samaritan’s Purse boxes are in the foyer and the church goal is 25. November 9 at 7 p.m., was a Veteran’s Celebration at 3 p.m. in Madison’s Community Center, November 23 at 7 p.m. is a community Thanksgiving worship service at Madison’s Community Center , December 7 will be our Holiday Dinner and Praise to Him will perform, on December 14 will be the Christmas Program during morning service, followed by a soup and sandwich dinner, and community caroling at 2 p.m.

The message this week was titled “Thankful for Christ’s Sacrifice” and came from Hebrews 10:1-18. The holiday season is quickly coming upon us and soon it will be Thanksgiving Day. For the Christian, everyday is to be a thanksgiving day because of the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ that redeemed mankind from sin and death.

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is where true life begins for the child of God. Everyday should be a day that we thank God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, for the new life God has gracefully given us. Not a day should go by that we take for granted what the Son of God has done for us and is still doing for us today. Many remember to thank God for the pleasant times in life but how about when life gets tough? It is in the hard times of life that our faith grows and becomes more real and that truly deserves thanks.

Soon Thanksgiving will be here and the world will look at the turkey or ham (or both) as the sacrifice for their huge meal. The true sacrifice on and of thanksgiving was the Lamb of God. People will see an animal sacrifice and give thanks as in the Old Testament but Jesus’ sacrifice did away with that old covenant. Thanksgiving is no longer to be given to animals but to the one man who laid down His life for the benefit of mankind. Even for those who had decided to reject and slander His name.

So often this nation does not show thankfulness for anything. When a person does show thankfulness it is to himself because it is thought we are in control of our own destiny. The fact is that God is always in control and nothing good or hard gets to you without God’s permission. Thank God He prepared a body that came and said “I come to Thy will, O God”, and then did. His name is Jesus Christ.

We have all seen a picture of a Pilgrim with an ax holding a turkey over a chopping block. Do not believe that it was the Pilgrim that started Thanksgiving. They landed on Plymouth Rock with Bibles in their hands that told them to give Thanksgiving to God. Those Bibles proclaim that message from one end of His Word to the other. If your sins have been washed away by the precious blood of Christ, you have every reason to be thankful. Make sure your thanks goes to the one who died for you, Jesus Christ the Lord.

“That Different Love” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scripture text taken from Romans 8:31-39. In his sermon he mentioned five different kinds of love mentioned in these verses - 1) Conquering love (vs. 31) - if God is for us who can be against us; 2) Giving love (vs. 32) - He has already given us all we need through the sacrifice of His son; 3) Justifying love (vs. 33) - It is God who justifies; 4) Intercessory love (vs. 34) Jesus’ love steps in to help us make it because He sits at the right hand of God; 5) Inseparable love (vs.

35) - no one can separate His love from us! He is the great “I Am” which is anything we need! He loves us no matter what! How far to do you go to trusting Him? Serving at the Lord’s Table were Don Wilkerson, Dennis Kendrick, Charlie Horstmeier, Charlie Thomas, Bill Miller and Dan Sharp.

Many prayers for friends and families were lifted during prayer time. Brian Chase stepped forward to give his testimony to the congregation. Praises mentioned were Abram Watson, new baby son of Sara and Matthew Watson; Jonah Luke Taylor’s adoption was finalized this past week; Willie, friend of Jessica Chase was a guest at church. Happy Birthday was sung to Betty Weaver and Becca Spires. A birthday celebration was held later that day for Betty at Monroe Manor hosted by her daughters, Barbara and Joy. An invitation was extended to the congregation from Friendship Baptist Church in Mexico to attend a program given by a missionary named Titus Sunday night, Nov. 23, at 7 p.m.

A calendar has been made for Nov and Dec listing all of the upcoming activities during the holidays. We are now collecting canned goods, paper products, non perishable items, etc for Christmas Is Caring. Next Sunday the children will start making Christmas ornaments which will adorn the Christmas tree during the Hanging of the Greens service the last Sunday of this month.

Salt Saturday youth group will meet Saturday, Nov. 15, at 9 a.m., in the fellowship hall for their monthly meeting.

Sunday School is held every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by church services at 10:30 a.m. Bible study is every Wednesday, night at 6:30 p.m., (meal at 6 p.m.) with the study now in Ephesians. Please come and join us!

Reverend Clyde Chiles led a week-end Revival beginning on Saturday night with a family dinner. Sunday morning the men were served a bountiful breakfast.

The worship service was led by Reverend Chiles. His topic was about the word ‘Christian’ which only appears three times in the Bible - in the New Testament - Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16.

We should allow Christ to possess us. Mathew 7:21 says, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven but only the one who does the Will of My Father in heaven.” We enter the Kingdom of Heaven through Jesus.

Special Worshipful music was provided by Brenda Vaughn and Mac Wilt singing a duet, “Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone”. Billie Jo Hatton sang a solo, “I Will Rise”. Mike DeOrnellis played the guitar and sang a solo.

At the conclusion of the service several people came forward to rededicate their life or to make a profession of faith in Christ.

At 5:30 p.m. the women attended a salad tea and Mrs. Betty Chiles gave a talk about having a dedicated life in Christ. There was also an evening service at 6:30.

COMMUNITY NEWS Veteran Assembly...

Continued from front

The Sunday, November 9 service began with a welcome from Pastor John Grimmett, announcements and prayer concerns. Prayer requests are for the McGee family, the DeOrnellis family, the Ham family, the Asbury family, Peggy Routt’s son and daughter, Sandy Jackson, Kaylee Beckham, Ellen Newbrough, Bonnie Utterback, Amanda Grimmett, John Grimmett, Don and for the persecuted church around the world. Patti Grimmett played “I Would Be Like Jesus” for the prelude. Debbie Carey led in singing the congregational hymns, “Crown Him With Many Crowns”, “More Like the Master”, “O Master, Let Me Walk With Thee”, and “God Be With You.” Pastor John’s message was “What Should We Do?” Matthew 24:36-44 tells us what we should be doing while we wait for Jesus to return. Jesus tells us that we are his hands and his feet here on earth and whatever we do for the least of these we do for him. Jesus will come to judge the living, the quick and the dead. It doesn’t matter what your past has been, if you become a believer you will be saved.

There are two kinds of people, those who live for the Lord and those who ignore him. You should be helping people by feeding and clothing those in need and praying for others. There are real needs right here in our community. One in five children experience real hunger. We pass by people every day that have needs.

It doesn’t cost a lot to help those in need. Jesus says you don’t have to do everything but you need to open your eyes and your heart. As we prepare for His return, we need to minister to those in need, especially during this holiday season. It will be like doing something for Jesus.

You should be walking humbly with Jesus Christ and let him lead you to those in need and open your eyes and heart to them and be the body of Christ and reach out with love and compassion.

Kaylee Beckham collected the offering as Patti played “Have Thine Own Way” for the offertory. Pastor John offered prayers for God’s people followed by the benediction. The service closed with Patti playing “Just a Closer Walk With Thee” for the postlude.

All are welcome to services at South Fork Presbyterian Church each Sunday at 9 a.m.

PHS Class of 1955 meets

The Class of 1955 had their annual get together Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Roegge Room in the Paris Library. Those present were front row, left to right: Ann Forbis Ragsdale, Joanne Wood Bordeleau, Mary K. Willingham Mallory, Shirley Peters Breid, Helen Joyce Wilson Davis and June Cullifer Ewing; middle row: Jean Woodrow Sinkclear, Edith Latta Talley, Jim Ball, David Downs and Dick Ward; back row: John Ragsdale, Rob Wood, Jerry Peck, Nadine Booth Young, Bob Snell, Jack Crigler and David Erwin. Not pictured: Donald Johnson. Others attending

The worship hour for the Perry Christian Church November 9 began with the choir singing “America the Beautiful”. Jason Fleenor served as pastor bringing his aunt and uncle with him. Veteran’s Day was celebrated with the music directed by Arlen Provancha.

The quilt sale money needs to be turned in to Jeannie Gay by November 30 for the drawing on December 1. The Ministerial Alliance Bake Sale will be November 22 at city hall.

A “ thank you” was read from the Asbury family.

Dorothy Woodhurst will have a birthday November 27.

“Let There Be Peace on Earth” was the song of praise and thankfulness. Jim Gay was recognized for his contribution for the walnut gathering. Arlen was thanked for “being the step up to the plate guy” and Cheri was thanked for coming from St. Charles each weekend to be our pianist. We are blessed to have these and others that serve our church.

“A Song of Peace” was the prayer hymn. Jeannie Fitzpatrick, Ruth Seelow’s family and the John Asbury family were our concerns. The choir’s response was “Alleluia”.

Jason gave the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper. “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was sung. Elders were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow. Carol Norman, Nancy Seelow, David and Wyatt Lewellen were deacons.

“Medley for Servicemen” beginning with “This is My Country” with a tribute to each branch of the service and ending with “America” was sung by the choir.

Alisha Eisele read the parable of the ten bridesmaids to the children explaining that reading the bible was one way to be ready for Jesus.

1 Kings 18:41-44 was read by Arlen for Jason’s message, “The Rain Returns”. In following the study of Elijah, who was right with God, we never know what will happen and we need to approach life with thanksgiving and prayer in the process of focusing on God. The invitation hymn was “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee”, the benediction was given and the service closed singing “God Bless America”.

imagine life without our veterans’ protection,” said Vitt.

“Thank you all for everything you do.”

“We enjoy all the freedoms we have today because of these veterans,” said Ebbesmeyer. “Veterans are a vital piece of our country.”

“I am very grateful for my grandfather and for every one of our veterans,” said Long.

“Let us give thanks to all our veterans for all the freedoms that we have,” said Forrest.

“Thank you to all the veterans for your sacrifice and all the time you spend in support of our country,” said Peak who is entering the service himself after graduation. “It means a lot that we can come here and thank you.”

“I want to say that I am so very grateful for the sacrifice that all our soldiers and their families have made,” said Dreckshage. “Thank you for keeping us free and safe.

Thank you for believing in our country. You not only defend our country, but bring justice to those who have brought threats against us.”

Alex presented the Top 5 reasons she was thankful for veterans: “5. I am thankful for those that wake up everyday and risk their lives so that we can live in the land of the free.

4. I am thankful for those that made the ultimate sacrifice, those that gave their lives, so that each of us can have the freedoms we often take for granted.

3. I am thankful for Veterans and their sacrifices that have helped preserve our freedom and rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” 2. I am thankful and proud of many family members that have served in many branches of the military. * My great-great-grandpa Fountain who served in World War 1 * My great Grandpa Barrick and Great Grandpa Fountain both served in World War II, grandpa Fountain was a Purple Heart recipient. * My grandpa Dreckshage served in the Korean War and my Grandpa Barrick served in Vietnam. * I have also had two great uncles; two uncles and several cousins serve in the military as well. * I am especially thankful for my dad, David Hoffman, who is a veteran. He was an M1A1 tanker in Desert Storm.

1. The final reason I am thankful for veterans can be summed up in this famous anonymous quote: “A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America,” for an amount of “up to and including THEIR LIFE.” “A special thank you goes out to all of you who are here today,” said Secondary Principal Chris Willingham. “The sacrifices that you have put forth will last a lifetime.”

A haunting version of “Taps” was performed by Stephen Hammond that had hankies and tissues being used throughout the room.

The Paris R-II Band played a “Military Melody” consisting of each service’ anthem as there respective veterans stood to applause.

To end the program, American Legion Post 221 withdrew the “colors” and the veterans were given a raucous round of applause by the crowd.

A veteran on hand reminded us that not all veterans are of the two-legged variety. He noted that we should also be thankful for the service of horses and donkeys during World War I and World War II, carrier pigeons and dogs that are even serving to this day.

IRENE GALLOP JOHNSTON

1924-2014

Irene Gallop Johnston, 90 of Paris, passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014 at her home.

Mrs. Johnston was born on Aug. 1, 1924 to Richard and Frances David Gallop in Monroe County. She married Bram Johnston on Jan. 30, 1946 in Mexico. He preceded her in death on May 1, 1982.

Irene was known as a hard worker all of her life, whether it was on the farm or at her place of work. In her early days, Irene was the proud keeper of her cows so she could and would go talk to them every night. Her chickens in the hen house, also, held a great place in her heart, just as much as the eggs she gathered.

She enjoyed gardening and her flowers to the fullest. Feeding her girls and gathering eggs every night kept her going, as well as taking care of her little dog “Suzie”. She especially enjoyed her garden this year as it produced cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers.

Irene was the true

Irene Gallop Johnston

meaning of a country girl.

She enjoyed telling stories of barn dances, muddy roads, before they were paved, and Model T cars.

She enjoyed going to the dances at the American Legion hall and talked of olden days of dances at “Hill Top”.

Irene worked hard all of her life. She worked at the shoe factory in Mexico.

Then 12 years as a waitress at the famous Mark Twain Café and then joined her sister, Pauline, and worked at A.B. Chance, where she retired after 22 years. She, was, also a cook at the Paris Elementary School and worked at A.P. Green. She was a member of the Love Street Christian Church and attended the Paris Baptist Church.

She will always be remembered for her quick smile and turn of a joke.

Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7 at Agnew Funeral Home with Rev. Wesley Hammond officiating.

Visitation was held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday at the funeral home. Burial was in Walnut Grove Cemetery.
