County Collector Anita Dunkle announces tax bills to be mailed

Monroe County Collector Anita Dunkle recently mailed the 2014 tax bills to county residents.

Dunkle reminds county residents that Missouri Law states that taxes become delinquent on Jan. 1, 2015. To avoid any late penalties being assessed, taxpayers are cautioned to obtain a postmark of no later than Dec. 31, 2014.

“Check with your local post office to see when they will close this year for the holidays,” suggested the collector.

Tax payments may be deposited in the black drop box located at the south door of the courthouse or by online payment until midnight, Dec. 31. Tax payments can also be made in person from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., on Monday, Dec. 31.

Walk-in traffic on Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2014, will be assessed penalty and interest.

“Please review all receipts for correct information,” asked Collector Dunkle.

Some tips from the collector’s office include: To avoid additional charges make sure checks are written for the correct amount and signed.

Have current address and phone number on check Include tax bill with your payment When two or more parties are paying for a tax, all checks must come together with payment.

Please notify the Collector’s Office when you have a change of address.

If you received a real estate bill that should go to an Escrow Company, be sure to forward the bill on to the company.

Payment by credit card is accepted

only for online payments,., They are unable to accept payment by credit or debit card in the office.

Clerk Dunkle also notes some changes in this year’s statements including: “This year we did not add everyone’s tax statements together. If you receive more than one “pink” statement be sure to add the amounts, next to the “total”, to get the correct amount due. If paying AFTER DECEMBER 31, be sure to refer to the right-hand side of each bill and pay the amount due for that month.

We ask you to please include your phone number on your check. The reason we like to have this information is because sometimes there is a problem

when the check and the tax amount do not agree or a check may be written incorrectly, or we may have a question about an address or what property is to be paid. A phone call to resolve these problems can help avoid additional charges if we would have to mail everything back.

Also this year we have included the assessment sheets in with our tax statements to help save on postage costs. Be sure to fill out and return by March 1st to avoid penalties. If you need an assessment sheet and did not receive one with your bills be sure and call the assessor’s office at 660-327-5607.”

Stuck In the Mud (The Conclusion)

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like... We often hear that it is better to give than to receive. Here in Monroe County we are lucky to have numerous indi­viduals who buy into that adage. If not for organizers like Phyllis Barton and John Gilmore who knows how successful Christ­ mas Is Caring would be? Now I am not saying that they are the complete reason for the event’s success but a lion’s share of the credit can be laid at the feet of this dynamic couple of residents.

Barton spearheads the children’s part of the event including the collection of aluminum cans, that for her, is a year long labor of love. She doles out names to interested groups so that they can help make a difference this holiday season for some local deserving fam­ily.

Gilmore works tirelessly as he coordinates the food stuffs and helps get the word out about the need for donations, supplies and volunteers.

Also on Thursday, December 4 and Saturday, December 6 we are reminded of our good fortune to live in a small town as the Chamber puts on the annual parade and soup supper with its associated auction and the

Me: “I thought you were stuck in the creek.”

My son: “I was.”

Me: “What happened?”

My son: “I prayed and prayed and prayed to God and then I got out.”

I would love to say that this is when I talked to my son about how awesome it was that God heard his prayer and that I then gave him a big hug and told him I was glad he was okay but I can not tell a lie. It went more like this.

Me: “Are you okay?”

My son: “Yes.” Me: “Come on and let’s get back to the house. You know you are grounded right because your daddy and I both told all of you not to go in the creek especially after it rained like it did which makes the water rise. You could have really gotten hurt.” ( I am rambling all of this while I am making my way back to the house. My son is slowly walking behind me.)

I get past the field and make it to the steps of the porch. I have cooled off some so I look behind me to tell my son what his punishment is but notice he is nowhere in sight.

Paris PTSA puts on their usual won­ derful Breakfast with Santa.

On the front page this week is the results of the TPNB Soup-To-Go annual benefit for Christmas Is Caring. The bank has donated over $14,000 in the years it has been doing this amazing fundraiser. Recently, the Paris First Baptist Church Deacons collected money at the 4-way for Christmas Is Caring. The feeling of giving is in the air!

These individuals and groups are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to helping others. Read the paper and look at any local group, sorority or organization’s minutes and you will see them helping out some needy family, individual or group in the county.

It is the time to be grateful for what we have but it is also fantastic to feel what we do when we give.

Have a great week!

MY TURN

schools the students move from group to group to be with others at their same level in math and reading, some above grade level and others a little below that level. These experimental approaches fly in the face of traditional classes and raise concerns about all students being prepared for state tests.

There is also the approach to state testing to delay testing on state standardized tests until all students are ready and prepared to take them.

Since schools are rated on how many of their students pass a standard state exam each spring, there would have to be new rules for testing schedules to make this feasible.

Pattonville has received permission from the state education department to try this approach on a test basis.

Point being that the rigid standards and testing of Amendment 3 and its supporters would hardly have allowed for creative new approaches by what is called proficiency-based learning or similar plans that would result in improvement in long-term success for students that are struggling.

Local districts need the flexability to try to help all of their students.

Then I see what appears to be my son still walking across the field very, very slowly. I am wondering why he is walking so slow but the closer he gets the more I understand.

Now let me first say that when I asked him if he was okay by the creek he was still coming out of the weeds so I did not get a good look at him. (I know, I know, I am terrible. You think I would have checked him over to make sure he was okay.)

So here comes my son walking towards me with what looked like chocolate covered legs, arms and hands to match. But it wasn’t chocolate at all.

It was mud! In his right hand was his sweat pants which looked like they had been swimming around in the creek for days. They were still dripping with mud. Then as I looked down I realized why he was walking so slow-his shoes had disap-

so I knew they would really feel the consequences of their disobedience.)

Well, my children served their time that day and told me they were sorry for not obeying what their father and I had told them. They said going in the creek was not worth sitting in their rooms all day. What took the cake was later on that evening when my children were talking about the whole creek fiasco. My oldest son said while his younger brothers agreed that the reason they went into the creek was because a bad frog told them to. I was both confused and intrigued by this comment.

Me: “What do you mean a bad frog told you to. You know frogs do not talk?”

My son: “Well, he didn’t talk to us but when we were trying to catch him he went down by the creek on purpose like he wanted us to follow him down there.”

Me: “Well, if someone or even a frog is doing something you are not suppose to do, don’t follow them and you won’t have to worry about being grounded in your room all day.

Who would have thought I would not only teach my children about peer pressure but also about frog pressure???

peared from his feet. Oh! You can only imagine how this little insight added to my already fueled fire. I was going to yell to him across the field where his shoes were but I decided to just be patient, relax and question him when he got closer.

He finally makes it in front of the porch and before I could say a word about his missing shoes this is what I hear: My son: “Mom, when I was getting unstuck out of the mud, my shoes stayed stuck. But don’t worry, I will go back down there after all the mud dries and get them out.”

Me: “No you won’t.

They will just have to stay stuck. Which shoes were they anyway?”

My son: “My blue tennis shoes.”

Me: “You mean your one good pair of tennis shoes that you are not suppose to wear when you are playing outside in the dirt?” (My son has at least two pairs of old dirty tennis shoes that he can wear when he is outside playing but of course this day he chose the good ones.)

My son: “Yes.” Me: “Oh well, there is nothing we can do about it now. All of you are grounded to your rooms.”

Flexibility for Local School Districts The recent defeat of proposed Amendment 3 at the polls on November 4 was a victory for those of us that believe in local control of our public schools. One of the results of the voters’ affirmation of local control was the freedom to try new approaches to help kids who are having trouble keeping up with their classmates. Featured yesterday in the Post-Dispatch was the Pattonville School District’s experimental approach to the universal fact that we learn at different speeds and respond to teaching materials and methods better or worse or the same as other students.

In the past there were two solutions for students who couldn’t or wouldn’t keep up. They were held back a year to repeat a grade or moved on with their class to fall even further behind. Pattonville has done away with traditional one teacher classes, at least in one school, and the students move from group to group based on their levels in math and reading. Extra class time is added to the day to make sure the students have learned an earlier lesson. These extra classes are held twice a week for selected classes.

JAMES POWELL CARMAN 1939-2014

James Powell (J.P.) Carman, 75, of Paris, died at his home on Monday, Nov. 10, 2014, the 239th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.

Mr. Carman was born on May 5, 1939 in Hannibal, to James Oliver and Myrtle Lee (nee James) Carman. J.P. was married to Anne (Utterback) Carman and they had two sons, Powell and Chris. An infant daughter Sally died shortly after birth. He married Janice Hamilton Painter on Thanksgiving Day in 1995 and she survives at the home.

J.P. graduated from Paris High School in 1956 and the University of Missouri in 1960 where he was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity. He then served in the United States Marine Corps on active duty 1960-62 and remained in the reserves until the mid-1980s, achieving the rank of Colonel and Commanding Officer of 3rd Battalion 24th Marines based in St. Louis.

He returned home from active duty in 1962 to farm and took a “temporary” job selling agriculture chemicals for Cypress Supply Company.

The new industry was very good to him and he to it. He left Cypress Supply to join Brayton Chemicals in the early 1970s and then formed Carman Chemicals in 1982. He ran Carman Chemicals until it closed in 2010. He also farmed with his sons and he and Janice enjoyed raising sweet corn and vegetables in the truck farming operation. Other than his time at the University of Missouri and on active duty with the Marine Corps, he was a lifelong resident of Monroe County.

J.P. was also active in agricultural industry affairs, including serving on the Governor’s Advisory Council on Agriculture and he was one of the earliest presidents of MoAg

Troop B Officers To Participate In Operation C.A.R.E. and 20-Mile Trooper Operation during Holiday Period Captain James E. Wilt, commanding officer of Troop B, Macon, announces Troop B officers will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. during the 2014 Thanksgiving holiday weekend which will begin on Wednesday, November 26, 2014, and conclude on Sunday, November 30, 2014.

Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) is a national traffic enforcement program aimed at making holiday weekends safer. During this enforcement operation, all available troopers will be assigned to patrol Missouri highways, not only aggressively enforcing traffic laws,

but also to be available in the event motorists experience any type of emergency.

In addition to Operation C.A.R.E., Troop B officers will conduct a 20-Mile Trooper enforcement operation on U.S. Highways 36, 61 and 63, on Wednesday, November 26, 2014, and Sunday, November 30, 2014.

During this operation, extra officers will be assigned to those more heavily traveled roadways in an effort to promote safety and reduce traffic crashes on the primary roadways in Troop B. “We expect many motorists to be traveling throughout Missouri over this holiday period,” stated Captain

Wilt. “Our goal is very simple: We want everyone to arrive at their destination safely. Please obey all traffic laws, ensure that everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained, and never drink and drive.”

In support of “The Drive To ZERO Highway Deaths,” the Patrol encourages motorists to protect themselves and their passengers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Watercraft operators should ensure that everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life And Wear It!!

CHURCH NEWS

On Sunday, November 16, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church welcomed guest minister, Nick Foster, who serves as the director of Voluntary Action Agency in Columbia. Also welcomed were special guests, Darrel and Carole Roberts, from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Serving as pianist for the service was Sally Blakemore.

Christmas Is Caring collection began this week with coffee and will continue next week with hot chocolate, green beans and corn. A group of volunteers from Holliday Church will work from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at the Central Missouri Food Bank on November 22. Thanksgiving offering envelopes are available at the rear of the sanctuary. Granville minister, Fran Schnarre, will offer a message during the Community Thanksgiving Service at Madison Community Center at 7 p.m. on Sunday, November 23.

Happy birthday was sung to Guy Callison and Wyatt Poole. The opening hymn, “O Worship the King” was sung; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed. Prayer concerns were expressed for: John Dry, Tina Wells; Carole Roberts asked for prayers for her brother in New Mexico who is battling cancer and for an infant great grandson experiencing heart rate problems. Praises were given for a good doctor’s report for Sandy Gail Davis. Sympathy was expressed to the families of Nelsie Levings and J. P. Carman. Safe travels were wished for Reverend Holmes and Mac and Katie Donovan.

Singing of the prayer hymn, “Sweet Hour of Prayer”, was followed by moments of meditation as the final verse and pastoral prayer.

The communion hymn, “Break Thou the Bread of Life”, was sung as elders, Gary Wilson and Phil Blakemore, went forward. Deacons were Gerald Roberts and Jerry Koch.

The doxology and prayer followed sharing of communion and offering collection.

Scripture from Matthew 5:38-48 and 17-20 were referenced for Reverend Foster’s message, “Are We There Yet?” Do we do as Jesus commands – turn the other check, walk the extra mile? Do we work to do these things to become more like Jesus and therefore, strive toward perfection?

The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” was sung and was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and for refreshments, Jane Akers shared a retirement message from Peggy Kirkpatrick who will retire from the Central Missouri Food Bank on December 31. Diane Wilson read “Dear God.” Jane then led the group in completion of study of the Book of Acts with the 28th chapter.

Services are held each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

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 Bro. Thompson Offering directed by Min. Ballenger Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “What do you choose to Think and Why” Your way of thinking can be your defeatment or your victory. Isaiah 26:3 “He will keep you In perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on him because he trust in you.” Our biggest challenge on having peace of mind is not to ponder on unsubstantiated information. We get sidetracked, trip up and many times brought to a standstill because of lies and deceptions that may come from various sources. Our minds can be like a trap door, that once that thought or thoughts that enter our minds, it takes control of how we feel and how we react or behave. We have heard that saying “You are playing mind games with me. The great mind player is Satan, the deceiver, who through whatever method or means he might use to bring us to a place of confusion, disillusion and doubt. The bible tells in II Corinthians 2:11 “lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. “ The verse is saying: in fear of should Satan should take advantage of you, do not be ignorant or unaware of his schemes and methods. This can only be accomplish by hearing the truth concerning him. The truth about Satan is, he want to cheat you from having a real relationship with Jesus Christ, that kind of relationship where you experience real joy, real peace and hope. Our minds must have the right focus of thinking, which is setting your affection on things above and not on things on the earth. Philippians 4:8, “ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praises worthy, think or meditate on these things.” The things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do and the God of peace will be with you.

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

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service November 16. Christina Wormington was baptized during worship service this morning. Robbie Turner led the congregation into worship service with, “Thank You Lord.” Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns and celebrations.

The call to worship was from Psalm 139. The chancel choir performed the music special piece, “Down to the Water to Pray.”

Pastor John Grimmett gave a pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. Pastor John Grimmett read the scripture reading from Matthew 25:14-30. Pastor John Grimmett gave the message entitled, “A Wise Investment Strategy.” “The closing hymn was, “O Jesus, I Have Promised.” Robbie Turner led the congregation out of worship service with, “Praise the Lord of All Creation.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, November 23. 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 Sunday, November 16 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: Samaritan’s Purse boxes are due today, 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 ‘Thanks God for Changing Our Person’ and came from Colossians 2:410. Last week we praised God for changing our position through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary. Through faith in His finished work believers have salvation instead of damnation. This week we praise God for the change He makes in our personal lives. Only the believer has this ability to change into what God wants the believer to become.

There are many worldly philosophies that Satan uses to try and entice believers away from the Word of God. I call them the ‘isms’. Examples are humanism and atheism, but all the ‘isms’ teach man is good and man is god. Religion has false philosophies also, dualism and deism for example.

Teachers in Colossae taught heresies saying special revelation was needed for salvation and only special people receive this. These teachings came from man and not God. God has given all the revelation needed by the Holy Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16). Paul tells the church to continue walking as they have received the Lord: in faith of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Believers in Christ are special in Christ already.

Paul says to make sure all in the church are in their proper place, doing what Jesus wants them to do, and for the Church to present a solid front to the world, marching in step with each other. This takes the leading of the Holy Spirit and understanding God’s Word. To change as God desires the believer must be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Praise God that we have this available to us!

The Holy Spirit desires to sink a root in your spiritual life that acts as an anchor that will firmly establish your faith.

Then by the Word of God and prayer the Spirit will build truths on that foundation; this how the believer does not get enticed away by false teachings. Yet many believers are lazy about their growth instead of being focused. Perhaps this is because there is nothing we can add to our salvation, no works or religious activities save us. But we do have a large to play in our growth in our new life and that requires focus on what you really believe.

Christ is the fullness of the Godhead. Look at Jesus and you see all that God is. We are called to follow Jesus Christ completely. Jesus is the highest authority and we belong to Him and no other. Jesus Christ is where we find our completeness for Christ himself is complete. Thank God we can depend on Phil. 4:18 but only if we draw from Christ alone.

“Just Plain Genuine” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scripture text taken from 1 Thessalonians 2:14. The definition of genuine is the real thing, authentic/in a person - sincere, frank, open. The Bible verse said to become imitators of the church of God. Are you or do you imitate someone else? We are all a small part, but very significant to each other. It’s easy to say you are a “born again Christian” but do you display that in the “real” world and around your friends?

Pastor Kenny talked of three genuine Old Testament people - Abraham, Joseph and Esther and one from the New Testament - Paul. How genuine are you? Can you be considered a genuine Christian? Something to think about -- especially when you see the word genuine on anything.

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Bob Conley, Dane Kendrick, Wayne Conley, Don Wilkerson, Bill Miller and Dan Sharp.

Next week there will be a baby dedication for Jonah Luke Taylor, newly adopted son of John and Terry Taylor. A lunch will follow church along with a celebration for his adoption.

Many praises and prayer concerns were listed during prayer time. Happy Birthday was sung to Brian Chase.

The congregation are now collecting items for Christmas Is Caring. Brian Chase and crew have been working on the church float for the Christmas parade which will be Thursday, Dec. 4. The children will continue to work on Christmas ornaments under the supervision of Ashley Kendrick next Sunday. Please plan to attend to help with that project. The ornaments will adorn the tree the last Sunday of the month during the Hanging of the Greens service.

Bible study is every Wed night at 6:30 p.m., (carry in meal at 6 p.m.). Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m., on Sunday mornings followed by worship service at 10:30 a.m. Please come and join us!

Kathy Miller gave the prelude and played for congregational singing accompanied by Brenda Ensor.

Cheryl Gholson gave the children’s sermon. Also there was a dedication service for the Samaritan’s purse (Operation Christmas Child) shoeboxes.

The adult choir directed by Cheryl Gholson presented special music, “Jesus Is Lord”.

Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Proverbs 3:112, titled “Trust in the Lord”.

When we trust, we place the most precious thing we have (our life) in the hands of God. ANNOUNCEMENTS: (All events p.m. unless otherwise designated) Charles Garnett gave a report on the four-way-stop collection (in Paris) for Christmas is Caring.

Services Sun., Nov 16 began with Patti Grimmett playing “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty” on the piano with Pastor John Grimmett leading in the Call to Worship from Psalm 139 and singing to “Brethren We Have Met to Worship”, “Make Me a Channel of Blessing”, “Doxology”, “How Great Thou Art” and “Threefold Amen”.

Prayer was held for Rob Day; Hannelore Ratliff; Susie Davidson; Arla Eisenhower; Max Tilt; hunters; Bonnie Utterback; the McGee family; the Neubraugh family; the Carey family and those traveling, with all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she sang “Rescue the Perishing”.

The message “A Wise Investment” was based on scripture from Matthew 25:14-30 where Jesus gave a parable for individuals and for churches about the kingdom that will be coming soon... We are saved by God’s grace! In the kingdom of God there will be everyone that He chooses... You must make a choice for God or for the world. As Jesus tells about the talents given to the three men - it is what they did with those talents - one applies his talents to help the kingdom grow, as did the second man - doing their best with their attitude; but the third buried his talent and did nothing - digging a hole in the ground. When Jesus comes back He will know what we did with our talents and gifts to build the kingdom - In prayer and time it seems to be easier to dig a hole than to invest your time and talent.

God knows every step you take to help someone else - a parable about attitude there is a return on your investment. Jesus will ask what have you been doing to build MY kingdom? What ARE you doing? Pray!

Max Tilt led the Offertory as Patti played “I Surrender All” Everyone retired in fellowship as Patti played “For the Beauty of the Earth”.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

REAL ESTATE GUIDE

REAL ESTATE

PREPARING A HOUSE FOR SALE Home sale preparation is an integral part of getting the best price for your property. No matter what the market’s like, the right prep work can make your house more appealing to potential buyers and give you an edge over other properties for sale in your neighborhood. As with any project, selling a home is easier if you’ve got a solid plan and a bit of professional help.

To make the process as smooth as possible, you’ll want to start by making a list of needed projects and involving a real estate agent.

Home Sale Preparation: Getting Started Your first step in preparing your home for sale is to create an overall list of things to do. This consumer guide can help, but you would also do well to consult with an experienced real estate agent who regularly handles properties in your neighborhood. If you are still trying to decide which real estate agent to list your home with, creating a things-to-do list is a good get-to-know-you exercise that will tell you a great deal about a real estate agent’s experience and how comfortable you are working with him or her. Preparing a list will also help should you decide to sell your home on your own, since you will still need to fix up prior to putting it on the market.

Though it’s certainly possible to prepare your home for sale on your own, involving a real estate agent as you make your list can be more helpful than you might think.

First, an agent experienced in working with homes in

your neighborhood is the most qualified person to tell you how your home will be perceived by potential buyers who shop in your market. For instance, an experienced real estate agent can tell you whether the kitchen needs painting or needs a new floor or new countertops. Second, a real estate agent is objective and will see your home through the eyes of an outsider, just as potential buyers will. Home sale preparation is a bit tricky for those who’ve been living in the house. Things that look perfectly fine to you because you’ve been looking at them for years and years may stand out as needing attention in the eyes of an objective observer.

Taking Objective Advice When Selling a Home While real estate agents can be great resources, they are nearly useless if you make it clear that you don’t want any bad news.

We all become quite emotionally attached to our homes. In many ways, our home is an extension of ourselves, and it is difficult to have someone tell us that the shade of paint we picked out for the den is a liability in selling the house. We are bound to be a little hurt and will often respond by, in effect, shooting the messenger.

Instead, we should make a decision up front: Do we want good advice or do we want to hear only what makes us feel good?

Just hearing what makes us feel good can be expensive when the final sale price for your home is determined. Selling a house that doesn’t show well can be a real nightmare, but

since a realtor does not want to lose a listing, if we make it clear that we don’t want to hear anything critical about our home, he or she won’t offer such information.

Making Your Home Sale Preparation List You’ve found an experienced local real estate agent, and you’ve made it clear in voice and action that you want a clear analysis of what needs to be done to prepare your home for sale. Together you can systematically develop a list of what will need to be done and why.

Your real estate agent can help with the details and give you sound advice on how far to go with each project without spending money that you won’t get back.

What to Do with Your List You have now identified everything that you will need to do to prepare your home for sale. Look at your overall list and decide which things you want to handle yourself. Keep in mind that sorting through the clutter will take a lot longer than you anticipate.

For that matter, nearly all do-it-yourself projects take longer than you think, so be realistic about what you can accomplish on your own. In general, you will save if you do it yourself, but things like roofing and floor refinishing are almost always better left to the pros. You want to avoid a lot of last minute hassle and expense having pros coming out to do things that you never got around to, and you don’t want to risk putting yourself in the position of having to show the house before it’s really ready.

Madison Audit...

Continued from page 5

the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective cash basis financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District, as of June 30, 2014, and the respective changes in cash basis financial position and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General and Special Revenue Funds for the year then ended in accordance with the cash basis of accounting described in Note 1.

Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared on the cash basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Other Matters Other Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District’s basic financial statements. The management’s discussion and analysis, capital projects budgetary comparison, schedule of revenues collected by source, schedule of expenditures paid by object, schedule of selected statistics, and schedule of transportation costs

eligible for state aid are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.

The capital projects budgetary comparison, schedule of revenues collected by source and schedule of expenditures paid by object are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.

Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the capital projects budgetary comparison, schedule of revenues collected by source and schedule of expenditures paid by object are fairly stated in all material respects in relation the basic financial statements as a whole.

The management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of selected statistics and schedule of transportation costs eligible for state aid have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.

Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated September 29, 2014, on our consideration of the District’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Missouri corn crop averages more than 200 bushels per acre - ‘Amazing yields,’ says MU specialist With more than 90 percent of the state’s corn crop harvested, the University of Missouri Variety Testing Program reports yields far exceeding national averages.

MU Extension specialist Bill Wiebold said Missouri averaged more than 200 bushels per acre. “Those are amazing yields,” he said.

Wiebold said this is

the best yield he has seen since he began working with the program in 2000.

Yields in northern Missouri, where fields are not irrigated, topped 200 bushels per acre this year.

Yields in 2013 were 150 bushels per acre.

“When you see yields averaging over 200 bushels across the state, it’s an indication of good weather,” Wiebold said. He also

credited improvements made in hybrid yields by seed corn companies.

USDA predicts recordhigh average yields of 173.4 bushels per acre nationally. High yields may help offset low prices of $3.01 to $3.32 per bushel across mid-Missouri Monday.

Yields topped the 300 bushel per acre mark at irrigated test plots in south-

eastern Missouri. Good soil and irrigated fields in that part of the state create consistently high-producing yields, Wiebold said.

The Division of Plant Sciences in the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources has conducted the variety-testing program for more than 75 years. Since 1973, seed companies Continued to page 14

Circuit Hearing...

Continued from front

During his morning arraignment, without counsel, Lage noted that he did not want a public defender and requested a by-name pro bono attorney be appointed.

Judge Wilson denied the request and noted that an application for public defender was on file. Judge Wilson continued the case until Tuesday, Dec. 23 when Lage will appear for a counsel status and preliminary hearing. Lage’s bond ($1,000,000 cash) was continued.

At her afternoon hearing, Munoz appeared with her attorney, Raymond Legg and waived official reading of the charges. She entered a not guilty plea.

Legg requested a preliminary hearing date and Judge Wilson set Tuesday, January 20 for the preliminary hearing.

Legg asked for a reduction in bond to $80,000 cash or surety and argued that the present bond ($1,000,000 cash) violated Munoz’s right to be free and also was cruel and unusual punishment. Judge Wilson noted that he denied the bond reduction at this time and continued the current bond.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department worked in tandem on the investigation.

Corn Yield...

Continued from page 12

and groups have chosen several of their best varieties for evaluation at farmer-owned fields and MU test plots. Test fields are located in 14 farmer fields and four MU farms throughout the state. MU researchers publish unbiased results online and in a booklet.

Wiebold said plants on a couple test sites were destroyed by thunderstorms and green snap, which is the sudden breakage of cornstalks by strong winds during the rapidgrowth stages of the corn.

The highest mean yield in the test was 308.3 bushels per acre, with the grand mean at 279.2 bushels per acre in the southeast region. The lowest mean yield was 222.7 bushels per acre.

The Nov. 17 USDA Crop Progress report said 100 percent of corn has been harvested in the southern regions of Missouri. USDA reports more than 16 percent of the corn crop remains in the field in northern Missouri, where rainfall delayed harvest for more

than a week in October.

Wiebold reported that northern Missouri’s nonirrigated fields yielded 236.2 bushels per acre.

The lowest-testing varieties produced 192.5 bushels per acre, with the grand mean at 215.6. Harvesting is about 80 percent complete in northern Missouri and more than 90 percent done in central Missouri.

The nonirrigated central region of the state produced a high mean yield of 245.7 bushels per acre and a low of 193.8.

Grand mean was 220.7 bushels per acre. Irrigated fields of central Missouri produced a high mean yield of 269.9 bushels per acre. Low was 194 bushels per acre and the grand mean was 232.6 bushels per acre.

Irrigated land in southwestern Missouri shows the lowest yields statewide. The highest yields there were 181.5 bushels, the lowest 166.3.

Paris FFA students before their tour of the Kentucky Derby Museum.

Paris R-II FFA Newsletter gives overview of FFA activities Since our last newsletter the Paris FFA has been busy, busy, and busy. In the last couple weeks we have been working on events like the Labor Auction, preparing speeches, and getting ready for the 87th annual National FFA Convention. This is a very eventful time of the year, with doors opening to new opportunities every time we turn our heads.

First, we want to thank everyone who came to the Labor Auction. We had amazing community support and could not do it without you! On October 23rd, we had a total of 52 participants ready to be auctioned off by Chas Wheeler. Before the auction members and guests ate soup and sandwiches prepared by Paris FFA members. After dinner, we presented the freshman and sophomores with their Greenhand and Chapter Degree Pins. Money raised from this funder raiser will go towards helping developing premiere leadership, personal growth, and career success with in our chapter and chapter members.

The Paris FFA also had the opportunity to go to the 87th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. We took 24 members and 2 advisors to this glorious event. We had the opportunity to go to four sessions presented by the National FFA Officers.

At one of the sessions we were able to listen to a motivational speaker, Nick Vujicic. He was born with no arms or legs. We also went to the ginormous FFA Career Show. The career show is composed of booths of different colleges, businesses, and sponsors for agricultural related careers, each there to tell you about the prospects their respected field has to offer. “There are

so many booths!” said freshmen FFA member, Makayla Fox. There are booths ranging in variety to games to teach us to strictly informational booths. One member, Wyatt Burnett, did an interactive game called “Wipe Out” by Ford.

The game consisted of 8 participants standing on a platform, dodging a moving beam. Other than the Career Show and sessions the FFA also did many other tours (like the Kentucky Derby) and fun activities while in Louisville.

Once we got back several students were hard at work trying to memorize the speeches

they wrote for FFA Fall Speaking Contest. At the Fall Speaking Contest there at eight different topic areas put on by agriculture related organizations. We had 9 members participate in this event. The following people will being advancing to Northeast District Speaking contest: Audrey Vitt, Brant Francis, Courtney Dickey, Ben Ebbesmeyer, Regan Ragsdale, and Katie Reams and Andrea Unterbrink. Amber Chapman and Payton Ness alternates. We are very proud of the hard work these students have put into memorizing their speeches.

This month in the Paris FFA has been very successful. From taking 24 students to the 87th annual National Convention to excelling at the Fall Speaking Contest these past couple weeks have been busy to say the least. The Paris FFA has made a lot of great memories in this time. Coming up we have the 2nd annual FFA Thanksgiving Dinner on November 19th for the members, as well as district and state Fall Speaking Contest.

We wish the Fall Public Speaking Finalist “Good Luck!” And again, we would like to thank the community for all of the continued support!

After six months of studying and preparation the time had come for Jaelyn to start interviews for National FFA Officer, a dream she has had since being freshman. Jaelyn was selected last May to serve as Missouri Candidate for National Officer. During the week process Jaelyn presented speeches, workshops, interview with financial contributors and over 15 additions one on one and group interviews during National FFA Convention. Jaelyn survived the 50% cut midweek and continued her interview process. Six National FFA Officers are selected each year, one from each of the four regions, and a President and Secretary at-large. Jaelyn was one of six in the finals for the Central Region. As the final session of National Convention came to an end, the lights dimmed and the spotlight shined on the final 22 hoping for National Office. Unfortunately for Jaelyn and all those cheering for her, her name was not called, and her FFA career had come to the end.

In the days following convention, Jaelyn mentioned how this process of studying forty plus hours a week, practice interviews, meeting with FFA members, and her great experiences in FFA have made her grow so much as a leader and a person. Jaelyn mentioned that she is so excited to pursue that big goal in life, graduating from MU and becoming an Ag Teacher. Jaelyn would like to say a big thank you to everyone in the Paris communities, listening to speeches, prayers, support and positive thoughts during her time in the FFA.

THANK YOU

Thank you A great big “thank you” to our friends and family who called, sent cards or sent food. Your words of love and encouragement will never be forgotten.

A special “thank you” to Wesley Hammond for a beautiful and touching service, and the wonderful ladies at the church for the meal. Jim Reinhart for the arrangements, Sally Allison for playing the beautiful music on the organ and Glen Morgan for playing at the grave site. Mom was surely smiling on you!!!

Anyone who knew Mom knew she liked to joke and have fun. She turned 90 this past August and received so many cards, but she never got to put her thank you in the paper. She truly enjoyed them. So thank you for making her day so special.

Irene had a saying for just about everything, but this one is my favorite, “You better laugh now, there will be time to cry later.”

The Family of Irene Johnston James Johnston and family Mary Lou Allison and family Mary Morgan and family

Thank you

Thank you to all who sent cards, phone calls and prayers. Words cannot express the gratitude to Erick Wilkerson, a true neighbor in my time of need, to Tina Baldwin for knowing just what I wanted and when I needed it (LuLa’s) and to Billy Harmon for all your help when and where. I can’t thank everyone enough.
