Pink Out!!! The 2015 “Pink Out” game played on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at Madison C-3 Schools, was a huge success.

There was a standing room only crowd with numerous people standing at the end of each set of bleachers.

Betsy Embree and Austin Thomas have each worked extremely hard to keep the four year tradition alive and kicking.

Donations were presented to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters by groups that raised money for the group and in support of the Pink Out Game.

It was great top see communities come together to support a cause that they have taken to heart and worked hard to raise monies for.

Monroe County Cancer Supporters President John Turner thanked the assembled for their donations and informed them of the successes of the group.

In 2014 the group helped 44 of our friends

and neighbors with monies totalling over $60,000.

Since their humble beginnings the Monroe County Cancer Supporters have helped 173 county individuals with monies totalling over $159,000.

That is money that has been raised by the group and has been donated by county residents and has gone to help family members, friends and neighbors in Monroe County.

Congratulations to the residents of Monroe County. Congratulations and thank you to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters for their continued success and help to our residents!

Have a great week!

MY TURN

The New Infantile Paralysis This is not about the terrible disease I remember as a child and which, known as polio, is almost non-existent today. I am talking about the power struggle between the political parties that has infected Washington the past few years and has virtually paralyzed our national government. Republicans in Congress for their post had declared war on Mr. Obama even before he took office and have vowed non-cooperation from his first day in office. The goal was to ensure that the President could take no credit for any measure that became law so that he would not be re-elected. That strategy failed but in the second term and apparently until he is out of office, Republicans tend to follow the no cooperation rule to the end.

Mr. Obama, for his part, has set out to do what the powers of his office will allow to do as President without legis-

lative action. His frustration is understandable but his negotiating skills are suspect. He could have reached out to supporters of the Keystone Pipeline, including a number of Democrats, which is mostly symbolic for both sides and gotten concessions elsewhere. The great deal for the economy will produce only 35 permanent jobs and the horrible effect on the environment of an estimated 1% increase of carbon emissions on the other side of the issue. As an aside, even with all of the bashing the President receives, his positive poll rating has reached 50 percent and Congress is still much lower than that. There is too much time already wasted and we are taxed for substantial salaries and benefits for this continuing infantile paralysis.

It’s past time to grow up and do the jobs we pay them all for representing us.

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to inform some of you about an organization in our community you may not have been aware of and ask for your help. As you may know, we have a very successful high school boys baseball team at Paris High School. What you may not be aware of, is how this team is ultimately supported and funded.

It is financed by a group of unselfish, hard working local parents and interested people. Our school district does not have the funds to finance the team.

The main fundraisers for this group are the three basketball tournaments they sponsor in January, February, and March for third and fourth, fifth and sixth, and seventh and eighth grade aged teams. Our first tournament is coming up on January 30 and 31. The Paris Baseball Association is in need of concession stand help (4 hour shifts), food items (hamburger, hot dogs, mustard, ketchup, two liter sodas, 16 oz. Gatorade cases, cookies, brownies, cakes and/or pies) or cash donations to help purchase necessities not donated. I’m appealing to all parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, past players of the Paris Baseball teams and the giving, caring members of our community to reach out and help. You can donate your time, goods, or monetary funds and anything you can offer is greatly appreciated!

Keep in mind that by helping this worthwhile association, you are also helping and supporting the Paris softball teams as well. Any equipment purchased or improvements made to the fields will benefit both the girls softball AND boys baseball teams.

Please call and let me know what our young people can count on from you!

Thanks for anything you can do, Grandma Barb Nobis Paris

In December 2011 Thomas Ess, Paris, was charged with multiple counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, second degree statutory sodomy, and one count of firstdegree child molestation for acts alleged to have occurred at various times between 1995 and 2003.

The jury convicted Ess of five of the six counts submitted to the jury. He was sentenced in February 2012.

On Monday, January 13, ruling on an appeal

by Ess, the Missouri Supreme Court noted that, “one juror committed misconduct through the intentional nondisclosure of a material fact related to the lawsuit, specifical-

ly that the juror formed an opinion about Ess’s guilt or innocence prior to deliberations in direct contravention of the circuit court’s instructions.

This Court further holds there was insufficient evidence to convict Ess of attempted first-degree child molestation. The circuit court’s judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded.”

According to Monroe County Prosecuting Attorney Talley Kendrick, the state Attorney General’s office has 15 days to appeal this ruling. After that opinion is rendered the Attorney General’s office will determine their next course of action in this case.

Representative Hansen takes Oath of Office for 40th District 40th District Representative Jim Hansen’s Report Week 1 Despite the cold temperatures, things are heating up at the Missouri Capitol. It’s a new year, new legislative session, and new opportunity for me and the rest of the 98th General Assembly to serve citizens. It was an honor to again be sworn in on Wednesday, Jan. 7, as state representative of Missouri’s 40th District. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of this great state. It truly is a blessing. My sincerest thanks go to my constituents. You have made it possible for me to be in this position of service.

Accordingly, I will work hard in 2015 to adequately represent your voice and values in the Missouri House of Representatives.

My door is always open for those with concerns.

After all, representative government works just how it sounds: by representing you. Even when I am away from my office, feel free to call or send an email at 573-751-4028 or Jim.Hansen@house. mo.gov. My new legislative assistant, Chase Lindley, will make sure your questions or comments get to my desk. Brett Dinkins, my previous assistant, has

gone on to work for new House Speaker John J. Diehl, Jr. I’m sorry to see him go, but am proud of what he has achieved. It’s always great to see young people working hard and moving up in the world.

I want to see more youth achieving great things. Quality education is the way to make that happen. This session, I will be focusing on making sensible reforms to education that will help Missouri students get jobs in their areas of interest. Too often, government seeks to solve problems by merely throwing tax dollars at them. That’s not what our children or wallets need.

Instead, we need personal, common sense solutions.

In his Opening Day address, Speaker Diehl put it nicely when he said, “Together, we will challenge our educational institutions to put students first and to graduate students at all levels who are ready to compete in a 21st century economy.”

That’s what I plan to do.

Preparing students for jobs in fields of their choice – whether academic or technical – benefits all of us.

To get a sluggish economy back on track, we need skilled workers. One-sizefits-all regulations won’t produce them. They only

Whirlpool • GE • Fisher Paykel Appliances Sales & Service

waste more tax dollars.

Keeping your hard-earned money in your pocket is a priority of mine. Speaker Diehl also emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility on Wednesday. He said, “We will rein in the ever-expanding government bureaucracy and foster freedom of workers.”

Those workers are why I’m here. Each day, you faithfully work to serve your families and communities. You don’t have the luxury of slacking off in this uncertain economy.

We here in the Capitol should be held to that same standard. As your state representative, I will keep that in mind as I work to provide opportunities for the families in Missouri’s 40th District. I know 2015 will be a great year for the House and the people it represents. Again, thank you for giving me the honor to serve you. May God bless each of you and your families in this new year.

Working on your behalf, Representative Jim Hansen

CHURCH NEWS

Gr anv Sunday, January 18 services at the Holliday Christian Church were opened with a piano solo by Sally Blakemore, pianist.

Reverend David Holmes welcomed everyone to services with the invocation and introduced his son DJ Holmes and his daughter, Evelyn who are visiting, The opening hymn was “Sunshine in the Soul” followed by Gloria Patri and pastoral prayer.

Announcements were the January 21 meeting at the church at 7:30 p.m., concerning the fire house, everyone is urged to attend.

The sweetheart banquet will be Feb. 15 at the community center in Madison. Jane Akers has tickets for sale and anyone wishing to make reservations ahead should call Twana Hulen. Further information will be available closer to time.

Sally Blakemore announced that Lucille Blakemore, Phil Blakemore’s mother, will be 99 years old on Jan. 26. She would enjoy cards and her address is: Lucille Blakemore: The Neighborhoods, Room 9, 3003 Falling Leaf Court, Columbia, MO 65202 Birthdays celebrated were Jackie Vanlandingham, Andrea Stanton, Mary Putnam, David Holmes and Hanna Beasley.

Prayer concerns went out to Boug Francis, the “Snooze” Shatzer family, Bob Silver family, Jim Freeman, Larry Legrand, the Evert Kendrick family and the Roy Jones family.

The prayer hymn “Be Still My Heart” was sung by the congregation followed by pastoral prayer and all repeated The Lord’s Prayer.

Elders Guy Callison and Pete Olney led deacons John Ragsdale and Nellis Kotsenberg to the alter for communion and the offering followed by the doxology.

Reverend Holmes scripture reading was John Ch 1 vs. 43/51 followed by his message titled “Jesus the Great Delegatord”.

The hymn of dedication was “O Master Let Me Walk With Thee” followed by prayer and the spirit song.

Bible study was opened with prayer by Jim McMorris followed by “You Are Served By Grace” read by Sally Blakemore.

Scripture study continued in the book of Romans, Chapter 3-4.

All are invited to worship with us each Sunday at 9:30 a.m., with bible study at 10:30 a.m.

The Sunday, January 18 service at South Fork Presbyterian Church began with Patti Grimmett playing the prelude, “Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us.” Prayer concerns included Bonnie Utterback, the Kendrick family, Beth Tilt’s brother, Glenn and his wife, the Bryan Carey family, and Patti Grimmett. Martha Hill had a joy in the birth of a new granddaughter.

Debbie Carey led in singing the hymns “Come Christians Join to Sing”, “Open My Eyes”, “Just As I Am”, and “God Be With You.” The special music was “Mighty to Save” sung by John and Patti with John accompanying with guitar.

The message, Come and See, was from the scripture John 1:35-46. Without Jesus Christ the world would not be the same. Jesus changed everything. He changed music, so much of our music today is about his life and death. He changed art work as he is the subject of many great works of art and he changed government, he changed the way we respond to people in far away lands and here in the US. Martin Luther King said that justice doesn’t come without Jesus Christ.

We are called to be ambassadors for Jesus. It makes a difference how we are living in the world. The gospels are an invitation to us to come and see Jesus and believe he is the son of God and the way to salvation. New people almost always come to church because of an invitation. We invite them to come and see something at church. People come to Jesus through an invitation from someone they know. How have you invited someone to come and see Jesus this past week? How can we let the world see Jesus through us? Invite someone to come and see Jesus and what he has done. You’re a brand new person when you receive Jesus Christ. Your past no longer matters.

Be an ambassador for Christ. The church will grow when you extend an invitation to come and see Jesus.

Your life needs to be reflecting the life of Jesus daily.

Be joyful about Jesus. Joy, faith, hope and happiness are contagious. We are the ones called to bring peace, hope, love and joy. How have you been inviting people to come and see Jesus?

The service ended with Patti playing the postlude, “Jesus is Calling.” Services are at 9:00 am each Sunday.

All are invited to “come and see” what Jesus has done for you.

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service January 18. Patti Grimmett led the congregation into worship service with, “There Is a Redeemer.” Pastor John Grimmett read the announcements and asked for prayer concerns and celebrations and led the congregation in a unison prayer of confession. The responsive reading was from Psalm 139.

Patti and John Grimmett performed the special music piece, “Mighty to Save.” The scripture reading was from John 1:35-46. Pastor John Grimmett delivered the message, “Come and See.” The closing hymn was, “Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore.” Patti Grimmett led the congregation out of worship service with, “Onward Christian Soldiers .”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, January 18. Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m.

A sitter is provided during worship service for any children.

Attend the church of your choice

The invocation was given by David Charlick. Special music and hymns for the morning worship were provided by Kathy Miller at the organ and Brenda Ensor on the piano. Steve Ensor sang “I Give You My Heart” for the personal worship moment. A special choral group composed of Mac Wilt, Mary Jo Crawford, Cheryl Gholson, Cyndi Rush, Michael Hammond and Steve Ensor sang, “Go Tell It”. The Call to Worship was Psalm 145:17.

Jimmie Steward gave the children’s sermon. He showed a present that was beautifully wrapped that he wanted to give his wife out of love for her. She thought the present was so beautifully wrapped that she did not want to open it. The same is true of God’s gift of Christ for us; we sometimes don’t realize what we have been given and thus we fail to receive the gift of Christ. His scripture was John 3:16. Regina Ensor led children’s church.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “Kingdom Power” from Acts 1:6-8. Jesus prepares the disciples for his leaving them. In verse 8, He says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samara, and to the ends of the earth.”

The disciples had the expectation of God to appear in the lives. As the disciples did, we need to allow God to show up daily in our lives. God was to be revealed as a God who is glorious. As in Old Testament scripture in 2 Kings 4, Elisha displayed God’s glory by multiplying the oil to fill all the widow’s vessels. We need to be clean, empty vessels so God can fill us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: RA’s and GA’s are starting again on Sunday evenings. Other regular weekly events are the same.

Saturday, January 24, is Men’s “Meaty” meal at 6:30 p.m., in Carter Hall.

Saturday morning, Jan. 31, Sunday school teacher’s meeting will be in Carter Hall, at 8 a.m. Breakfast will be served. Saturday evening, February 14, is the annual Valentine’s Banquet, in Carter Hall. Donations will be taken to help teens pay for Super Summer. Make your reservations now.

On January 18 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: Men’s Breakfast on Feb. 8, at 8:30 a.m., and Movie and Pizza Night on Feb. 21 at 6 p m.

This message this week was titled ‘Sanctity of Life Sunday 2015’ and started at Psalm 139:16. Another year of preaching a pro-life message and the world seems to be getting darker while Christians are setting on the sidelines. Seems Christians are getting used to a society that does not value life as God does. This should not be.

Psalm 139:16 shows God having a relationship with people before they are even conceived. Man’s parts are known and ordained by God; showing God has high value on life.

The Creation Account of Genesis 1:26-27 shows how God desires to bless mankind. God’s blessing on mankind is what the entire Bible is about. That is why Jesus came, died, and resurrected; so we could be blessed by God. Unfortunately the world cares little about God’s blessings in life and the further they get from God’s Word the cheaper life becomes and the darker the world gets. The world can offer nothing but darkness but disciples of Christ offer the light of Christ to the darkness. If disciples do not shine their lights, who will? Jesus in John 8:30 – 32 talks of being His disciple. Many people want to believe Jesus has truth but desire to interpret His truth from their own viewpoint. This is not being a disciple.

Jesus says discipleship is not possible until you make Jesus and His teachings the resting place for your heart, mind, and will. This is what ‘abide’ means. This is the difference in believing Jesus has truth and is the truth. Jesus is saying that if you learn to live in my word as full reality, as complete truth, then you are truly learning from me. As you learn about Jesus you will come to know Jesus is the truth (John 14:6).

The truth is a person, not just knowledge. Once you come to know Jesus in this manner, He can set you free from the darkness of this world so you can let your light shine on the darkness of this world.

Some Christians work for new laws concerning pro-life issues. This is good in that laws reflect society’s standards.

Laws and politics do not change people’s hearts. The world needs a change of heart that only Jesus can bring. Jesus chooses to use His disciples to shine His light on the world.

Read James 1:22-27 and Matthew 25:31-46 to see what is said about the difference between believers and disciples. Pro-life sermon have been going on for at least 42 years now and the world seems to be getting darker. But no darker than the day Jesus went to the cross. Let your light sine today, the world needs to see it. Remember Galatians 6:9, “and let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

The January 18 worship hour for the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “I Am Thine O Lord”. Leanne Hibbard Reed was welcomed as our guest minister and led the call to worship.

Our next Trivia Night will be February 21, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Nancy Seelow read “thank you notes” from Jason Fleenor, Brenda Duncan, Diane Hickman and the family of Lois Friday.

“Have Thine Own Way” was sung in praise.

“Cleanse Me” was the prayer hymn. Leanne gave the morning prayer with concerns for Jipper Robinson, Bill Bowman, Jim and Ricky Wells, Nancy Seelow’s friend, Cheri’s friend and the family of Evert Kendrick.

“Listen to Your Children Praying “ was the response.

“Break Thou the Bread of Life” led to sharing the Lord’s Supper.

Alisha Eisele shared her chocolate chip cookies with the children telling how exciting it is to share and about the Disciple Phillip who shared his good news about Jesus.

Our very special music, “How Great Thou Art” was sung by Leanne. Her sermon “Soul Balance” was inspired by the 139th Psalm, verses 1-6, 13-18 and John 1:43-52. Her message was to “Be still and know I am God” as we try to balance our souls with God. “Be still and let God wash away our burdens”. We can only achieve spiritual balance by listening to the words of God. The invitation hymn was “Just As I Am”. Leanne gave the scripture benediction and singing “Lord, Dismiss Us” closed our service.

Our church is open to everyone who wants to share in God’s blessing each Sunday morning. The inspired words to open your heart to God will continue throughout the week.

Max Lucado’s thought: After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it’s assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection, where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God’s house is a place of peace.

Brant Francis drops 18 points on Slater

Lady Coyotes defeat Slater and Westran The Paris Lady Coyotes hosted Westran and Slater and defeated both 38-36 and 40-17.

Westran The Westran victory was definitely a tram effort as the Lady Coyotes had one of their most balanced scoring nights on the court. Betsy Embree had 6 points, Grace Peak 3, Abbie Wheelan 4, Britany Williams 7, Drew Lockhart 4, Brooke Rentschler 8 and Carmyn Holmes 6.

Paris trailed 15-9 after the first quarter and a 11-6 second period saw the Lady Coyotes trailing 21-20 at the half. An 8-7 third and a 12-8 fourth sealed the 38-36 win.

Drew Lockhart led team in rebounding while Carmyn Holmes led the team in steals.

Statistics Scoring: Betsy Embree 6, Grace Peak 3, Abbie Wheelan 4, Britany Williams 7, Drew Lockhart 4, Brooke Rentschler 8 and Carmyn Holmes 6.

Three pointers: Wheelan 1.

Assists: Embree 2, Wheelan 2, Williams 1, Lockhart 2, Rentschler 1, Holmes 2.

Steals: Wheelan 1, Williams 1, Lockhart 1, Rentschler 1, Holmes 4.

Slater The Lady Coyotes raced out to a quick 16-8 lead after the first quarter and a 7-4 Slater second quarter had Paris up at the

half 20-15. A shut down defensive third quarter found Paris taking a 10-0 quarter and coupled with a 10-2 fourth period sealed their 40-17 win.

An oddity of the contest saw the Lady Coyote defense hold Slater without a field goal after the first quarter. All second through fourth quarter Slater points came on free throws.

Drew Lockhart led the team with 11 points with Betsy Embree chipping in an 8 point game. Carmyn Holmes led the team in rebounding with 8 while Lockhart was team high in assists and Britany Williams led the team in steals.

The Lady Coyotes defeated Madison in the Pink Out Game and faces Salisbury on Monday, Jan. 26 in the first round of the Sturgeon Tournament at 7:30 p.m.

The Paris Coyotes, in recent basketball action, fell to Westran 6253 and defeated Slater 56-47. Brant Francis and Dylan Painter each hit for double digit scoring in both games while August Hayhurst and Mike Ensor each posted double digit rebounds in one of the games.

Westran Paris trailed 11-10 at the first whistle and a 23-6 second period found them down 35-19 at the half.

Paris rallied in the third quarter with a 16-8 quarter with a 19-18 Westran fourth for the 62-53.

Brant Francis and Dylan Painter each scored 13 points while August Hayhurst chipped in with 8 and Jon Turner 7. Mike Ensor led the team in boards with 10; Turner was team high in steals and four Coyotes tied for assist lead.

“We are really excited about what’s taking place here right now,” said Coach Wade Billington.

“If you look at our record you wont see a lot of wins but since Christmas break we are really improving.

Our turnover numbers are down by almost 6 a game, our shooting percentage is continuing to increase, and our rebound numbers are moving up as well. Throughout the season we have had bright spots in every game we’ve played, we’ve just seemed to always contradict those bright spots with a stretch of not very good basketball. In our last five games we are seeing those down stretches diminish and the length of time we have them reduced. As the season progresses we are moving forward and improving. At this point we need to continue to work hard, stay positive, and allow everything to come together.”

Statistics Scoring: August Hayhurst 8, Jacob Green 2, Dylan Painter 13, Jon Turner 7, Brant Francis 13, Briar Hancock 2, Quin

Madison led 15-9 at the first break and a 14-6 second period found Madison leading at the half 29-15.

Thank you to everyone for your friendship and support for Evert Kendrick’s family.

A special thank you to Sarah for taking time to help Grandma on Sunday, and the ladies of Santa Fe Christian Church for the luncheon, which easily fed Evert’s entire crew!

And thank you to Jim and Ronnie and everyone at Agnew Funeral Home for taking care to put on a great service for Evert and for your flexibility in allowing us to add a few additional touches. Grandpa would have loved the “party” thrown for him. To Kenny Sharp, thank you for a wonderful service and for serving as Evert’s pastor. And to Darla, thank you so much for being such a blessing to Evert and the entire family. Over the last couple of months, you allowed him that ability to go, go, go, which he loved so much.
