Grain Belt Express a hot topic A meeting was held in Madison on Saturday, Jan. 25, spearheaded by local landowners Kevin and Marilyn O’Bannon that was basically a grassroots effort of local farmers, landowners, and concerned citizens working to educate themselves about Grain Belt Express and possibly protect their land from GBE. Over 125-140 local concerned landowners attended the meeting to learn what options they have and of the process that the company has to go through.

Grain Belt Express is a proposed 700 mile overhead high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power line through Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The parent company, Clean Line Energy, is proposing to build three other similar projects- one of which is Rock Island Clean Line. The Green Belt Express is described as a line that will carry power from wind farms in Kansas to hook up with the Eastern power grid, in Indiana.

Caldwell County, his wife Julie and other advocates noted that Clean Line would like people to believe that these lines would carry only renewable energy. It was suggested that this is highly unlikely as, per the Federal Energy Regulator Commission (FERC), cannot be restricted to just wind energy and potentially could carry all kinds of power - including coal and gas generated.

The speakers noted that the Grain Belt Express is not part of any coordinated or comprehensive transmission development plan.

The presenters also covered topics including Eminent Domain, ease-

ments, blanket access, change in property values, the Corona Effect, and explained the need for BGE to prove there is a need in Missouri and a necessity to be given public utility status.

The companies Director of Development Mark Lawlor and concerned local landowners met with the Monroe County Commissioners recently.

Earlier, the Commissioners had signed a letter of support but during the meeting decided to rescind the letter and send a letter to the Public Utility Commission, where Grain Belt Express Clean Line must apply to receive public utility status, asking that questions be

garages, trailers, etc., throughout the Madison area.

The charges for which the above individuals were arrested are mere accusation and are not evidence of guilt.

Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

Burglary suspects discovered after two days

According to a Monroe County Sheriff Department press release, “on Saturday, Jan. 25, Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department deputies responded to a possible burglary in progress on Monroe Road 1130, north of Madison.”

The department was informed, at approximately 9:30 a.m., that three suspects were observed in an uninhabited residence by neighbors. Upon being observed the three suspects fled in a vehicle and were pursued by the neighbors down Monroe Road 1130. The three suspects lost control of their vehicle on a patch of ice, striking a tree head on.

All three subjects then fled on foot.

One of the suspects, Rory D. Martin, of LaPlata, was located a short time after the incident. Martin is currently being held in the Monroe County Jail.

He has been charged with Burglary, 2nd Degree and Property Damage, 2nd Degree with a cash only bond of $20,000.

The other two suspects were Jamie N. Ash, of Arnold, and Cameron J. Partin, of LaPlata. After a two-day search, they were apprehended Monday, Jan. 27, on Monroe Road 1114, also located just north of Madison. Both suspects are currently being held on warrants for Burglary, 2nd Degree and Property Damage, 2nd Degree with $20,000 cash only bonds.

The Title of Mom

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Energy Lines or No Energy Lines!!! Marilyn O’Bannon and her husband Kevin held a well attended meeting in Madison on Saturday to give local farmers and landowners an overview of the Grain belt Express power line project.

It is through grass roots individuals such as Marilyn and her husband that people get the information to make informed decisions. That goes for land owners or even County Commissioners such as Western District Commissioner Glenn E. Turner and Presiding Commissioner Mike Minor and local representation such as 40th District Representative Jim Hansen - who were also in attendance.

Meetings such as ones like this allow the give and take of information from sources other than the rank and file of the industry trying to get whatever benefit they are looking for when attempting to enter into our local county or counties.

DAVID EALES

There were approximately 130-140 individuals at the standing room only meeting - people hungry for information but also hungry for action or at the bare minimum a plan for action that they could help with, or people to plan with or even a course of action.

Lots of questions were asked and many answers or opinions supplied to the assembled. Meetings like these are like a smorgasbord or a buffet - you take away what you want and leave the other things on their plates. There was definitely enough to eat at this meeting!

Have a great week!

Losing my father-inlaw a couple weeks ago has seemed to make me miss my mom even more. I am not sure why this is but I have been thinking about her a lot and about how wonderful of a mother she was to me. She instilled values and traits that have helped me numerous times during my journey as a mother. So I want to share this article in memeory of my incredible mom-Carol A. Neptune.

A lot of people aspire in life to gain a title and work very hard to obtain it whether it is to be the CEO, CFO, Bishop, President, Vice-President, Manager, Assistant Manager, Treasurer and so and so and so forth. There is nothing wrong with putting in the extra effort and hard work to get a title but what about the title some of us women already have that we might not think much about-the title of mom?

Receiving the title mom,

Pols Acting Badly

red state, has by her slacks on fire account, made the race even more difficult.

Each time we hear of a politician who is caught up in a scandal or other, be it a young girl in the White House, a wide stance, sad selfies of scrawny bodies, playing in a public fountain or on a boat, it all makes us have less respect for these actors and by association for their innocent peers.

We can and should be demanding more of our leaders.

Circling and Wagging

There are always examples of researchers spending a lot of time, and somebody’s money to study things most of us don’t consider all that useful.

My favorite recently is the two year study of watching 70 dogs poop 1,893 times and pee 5,582 times during which the time, place and body positions for each event was recorded. This is to find out why dogs circle around before they do their business. Turns out that dogs are affected by the earth’s magnetic field and when that field is in flux, the dogs have trouble finding a spot that suits them. When the field is calm, the dogs prefer a north-south axis.

Mystery solved. No kidding!

mommy, mother, ma, or mama takes a lot of dedication and definitely a lot of over time. It takes our love, our compassion, our sacrifices and our emotions.

It takes an ability to push through hard times and look for the silver lining. It takes an ability to be as tough as nails in one situation but as soft as butter in another. Yes, we can choose to carry this title and not perform the duties that go along with it but that would not feel right for most of us. We have been given a maternal instinct that connects us in a way to our children that is hard to ignore. Even though we all make mistakes as moms, we never throw in the towel.

We might not get compensated financially for having this title but we

hard work involved. In my opinion, there is no job in this world that takes more dedication or time. No other job has as much of a emotional or mental toll on us than that of being a parent.

And there is absolutely no other job that has the ability to make as big of an impact on society. When we take the time and love to raise our children in the way they should go and teach them how to treat others with respect and kindness, we have affected a generation.

We moms need to remember how important our title as MOM really is.

We can never think for a moment that we are JUST moms. And in the times when we feel overwhelmed, tired and under appreciated remember we are vitally important to the health and growth of our children.

Know that we can and will get through the tough times to be able to smile and laugh again in the good times.

There will come a day when our children will truly appreciate all we have done for them and we will see the fruit of our labor. There is no greater return rate than that of a positive deposit made into our children’s lives.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

MY TURN Sometimes politicians can’t seem to play it straight and find themselves in trouble with the law or have to apologize for what they said or done. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has come under fire from two directions. His top aides built a huge traffic jam on the George Washington Bridge for what is thought to be a political payback.

In addition the Governor is under federal investigation for allegedly misusing Hurricane Sandy relief funds.

The outgoing Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen were inducted this past week on 14 felony counts of corruption for taking $135,000 in gifts and loans from a political backer in exchange for advancing the interest of the donor’s company. He apologized for “bad judgment” in July and promised to return $120,000 to the donor but this week claimed he did “nothing illegal”.

Sometimes you can’t get it right even before you get to be Governor.

Texas Democrat candidate for Governor, Wendy Davis, this week admitted that her story of life as a down and out single mom was not entirely accurate when called on it by a Dallas newspaper. Davis, already a long shot in this

definitely get a very good benefit package. We get the benefit of seeing our children grow into mature adults who will affect their community and the people around them. Now the catch is we have to have a lot of patience. As they are growing up we might not always see how certain aspects of their personality are going to be used for the greater good.

Believe me, there are many times when I have to remind myself that one day these personality traits in my children will be used for something besides rattling my cage. Maybe my son’s constant need to argue his point and tell his side of the story might be part of his training to becoming a lawyer. Who knows?

Then there are the right now benefits we get as we are raising our children. We get the benefit of receiving bear hugs and tender kisses.

We get the benefit of seeing them laugh, smile, dance, play sports, make friends, learn how to ride a bike, graduate, go to college and most importantly discover who they are and what their purpose is in life.

But we know that along with the benefits of being a mom there is also a lot of

She stated, “I can’t begin to thank our board of directors enough for being so progressive and innately knowing that if the Manor was to grow in the future, and serve the people of Monroe County, we had to be able to offer a truly professional therapy program and a place to house it. Today, with a therapy manager that has a doctorate in physical therapy, her trained and certified staff, and a new 3,500 square feet building they operate in, we can proudly say there’s

no better physical, occupational and speech therapy site in rural Missouri.”

“We want everyone to know they no longer have to drive to Columbia, Mexico, Moberly and Hannibal for therapy,” Ms. Embree said. “We are as capable to provide therapy services for stroke victims, those that have had knee and hip replacements and an assorted other maladies locals have suffered, as any facility. And we offer both in and out patient services.”

The Manor has used RehabCare, of St. Louis, since June 2008, as its therapy provider.

According to Mrs. Embree, RehabCare is the best therapy contractor the Manor has employed in her 20 years of employment.

The company is the nation’s leader in rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational and speech-language therapies, to over 2,000 hospitals and long-term care facilities in 46 states.

Julie Surdal, DPT., RehabCare’s local program director, said she was very pleased the Manor built a rehab facility.

“We’re just very excited and pleased with what the Manor’s done,” she said. “What a community this is, what a united community. Our staff is thrilled beyond words and this new building will be one of the best we work in.”

Monday night, the Manor’s board heard a proposal for renovation of the facility’s east day room — where the therapy department had been located — and authorized up to $40,000 to convert the space into a family-friendly meeting

and social area.

“This is a project the board has been wanting to do for three years,” Ms. Embree said. “Now that therapy has its building, we’re going to turn this room back over to our residents and their families.”

The board voted to overhaul the great room, install carpeting, install a faux fire place, cover the heating and airconditioning units with an aesthetic design and purchase several pieces of comfortable furniture along with other fixtures.

In addition to authorizing the work on the east day room, board members voted to continue sheet-rocking residents’ rooms. Mrs. Embree reported 27 rooms have had sheetrock installed at a cost of approximately $50,000 and there were 33 left. The board authorized an additional 17 rooms undergo the change over.

Board president Guy Callison said he was pleased with the Manor’s progress and hoped all the board members and district patrons would be, too.

“We should be very thankful we’ve had the resources we have to afford these improvements,” Mr. Callison said. “And I think our staff is, if not the best in the area, certainly among the best. We owe it to our Monroe County taxpayers, residents and staff to make this facility the best we can, and I think we as a board are doing that.”

Title of Pastor Kenny message was “God is Not Partial.” Scripture was taken from Luke 14: 7-814. God shows no partiality to the rich or poor. Everyone is judged the same because He judges the heart. People are partial to themselves. If God calls us to give or to share then do so with those that are without. When Jesus comes back there will be partiality as to who knew and accepted Him and those who didn’t!

The message “Count Your Blessings” was based on scripture from Matthew 5: as Matthew talks about the kingdom of heaven from the sermon on the mount... some think if you can get from point A to point B they will be blessed...but Jesus Christ says blessed is everyone - just as you are - the poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart...

Matthew 5-12 ...if you never stop at the river of mourning the river of sympathy will dry up - No matter what is going on in your life, do you know that God is right there with you? You are blessed as a child of God! “Count Your Blessings Today!

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled, “For All Have Sinned” from Romans 3:21-26. We all have spiritual death in our life because of sin. There is no distinction, for all have sinned. God’s Righteousness gives us new life through Christ whose bloodshed in death covered our sins. Righteousness has an affect on both the lost people and those who are saved. The lost people often feel guilt and conviction but can be saved through God’s righteousness and forgiveness.

The person who has been saved should have renewed life in Christ because they too have sinned. It is important to reflect God’s righteousness in each of our lives by allowing Christ-like actions to dominate our life. Righteousness in our life means being right with God and can be achieved through Christ.

The children’s sermon was given by John Mitchell.

He invited young adults to join in the discussion of marriage. He told them about Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah. The chief servant was given instructions to find a wife for Isaac. God’s angel went ahead of the servant and God revealed all the directions to the servant. Rebekah fulfilled the expectations that had been given by God and became Isaac’s wife. When choosing someone to marry, we should allow God to be a part of this selection.

by Denny Hollingsworth After years of matching wits with others, albeit ensconced on her couch far from the arena, Mary Twellman will do it for real early next month when she tapes an appearance on the intellectually challenging TV game show, Jeopardy.

Mrs. Twellman and her husband, Larry, will leave their Bowling Green home to jet to Los Angeles in early February, for a maximum of two days of taping for the show.

Producers told her the game(s) she’ll appear on will be broadcast between April 28 and May 2.

Originally from St. Louis, Mrs. Twellman and her husband are retired public school teachers and administrators. Mary was a speech pathologist

in Higbee, Paris, metro Kansas City and Jefferson County schools, while her husband was first, a science teacher and later both a principal and superintendent, in either the same districts as his wife, or nearby ones.

The couple retired near the town he grew up in, Bowling Green, in 2008, and built a new house on the site of his rural boyhood home. Mr. Tellman continues his education career as the principal of the St. Clement elementary school, which he attended as a kid, while Mary often visits the couple’s first grandchild, in St. Louis, volunteers at school, takes piano lessons, reads, watches the Cardinals, and fully enjoys her retirement.

August Hayhurst added double digit boards. Brant Francis was team high in steals and Laine Forest and Quin Bartels were high in assists.

Slater led 11-6 at the first quarter and Paris took the second 17-9 to lead 23-20 at the half.

The second half was more defense and less offense as Slater took the third period 9-3 and Paris the fourth 11-9. Slater took overtime 11-9 for the 4946 final.

The Coyotes lost another game we should have won.,” said Coach Wade Billington. “We rebounded the ball and defended the best we have all season. Offensively we still continue to struggle to convert our shot opportunities into point.

We missed several easy opportunities at the basket. We also made some costly turnovers at critical parts of the ball game.

This was a ballgame we allowed to get away from us. We would go up 3-5 points and then instead of pulling away we would let them hang around. If we’ll get some consistency in taking care of the ball and put the ball in the hoop we will be all right. We are getting good looks, just not converting.”

COMMUNITY NEWS

MRC hears Active Shooter program Sgt. Brent Bernhardt of Troop B, Missouri State Highway Patrol, presented an Active Shooter program to volunteers from the Monroe County Health Department Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Thursday, Jan. 23. Twelve dedicated volunteers turned out for the meeting, learning some background facts about active shooters, how to behave in a shooter situation, and how law enforcement reacts. The unit will meet

again on February 20 to hear Officer Steve Peter-

son from the Missouri State Water Patrol.

she took Jeopardy’s Internet online test in January 2013, the show contacted her in March last year by email and invited her to test and interview, in Kansas City, in April. In Kansas City, she took another written test, scoring high enough — prospective contestants aren’t informed of their score — to be selected for a shortened mock game with two other people.

Mary said after the pretend game she talked with producers, similar to the way Jeopardy host Alex Trebek interviews contestants on the show.

After all was done she was told that day she was

going into the contestant pool. Ten months later, January 10, the producers called and told her she’d been selected for the televised game.

The Twellmans have booked a room at a nearby hotel to the Culver City, CA television studios, where the show is taped. Jeopardy staff will pick Mary up early in the morning, and transport her to the show’s site.

Jeopardy tapes five shows a day and she’s been warned the days of taping are long ones. Mary said she was told to bring several different outfits, in case she wins, in order to change attire, and make it

appear the next game is a new day.

Mrs. Twellman is not going on the show expecting to win a lot of money.

“All during the interview process the producers keep telling us, ‘Have a good time,’ and that’s what my plan is, just have a good time. I grew up watching Jeopardy, my parents loved watching it; if they were still with us, I know they’d be on the plane with Larry and me.

I’d like to win enough to cover at least the airfare, but regardless, this is all for the fun of doing it, and don’t ask, I can’t tell you how I did until the show’s aired.”

Health Department members listen to Sgt. Bernhardt

Jeopardy... from page A8

SAE of the Month Jake Peak

The SAE for the month for January is Jake Peak.

Jake’s SAE consist of detailing machinery at Wheeler Auction for Chaz Wheeler. His SAE was started a little over a year ago when Randy White came up to him and asked if he wanted to clean machinery with him at Chaz’s. His daily work is to detail the inside of the machinery and wax the outside to make it look nice and spiffy. Jake’s favorite part is that there is always work to be done and that is why he likes cleaning the machinery over at Chaz’s. When I asked Jake how his skills from his SAE can help him in the future, he replied, “Sometimes a lot of work has to be done in a small period of time and you have to go a lot faster to get it done. I think this is a valuable skill when trying

to meet a deadline.” Jake’s plans after high school are to study at the University of Missouri – Columbia in Chemical Engineering then he would like to have a career in the United States Army. Jake also said that

younger FFA members can get started with a SAE like his by getting to know a lot of people. Every job that he has is because he has a connection with somebody. So it is a good to network with lots of people.

answered to their satisfaction before any support is given.

It was suggested at the meeting that the lines be buried but it was noted that it was reported that the lines give off too much heat to be buried.

Lawlor explained that the project will bring thousands of temporary jobs to Missouri while the lines and towers are being built. Also a multi million-dollar Converter Station has been proposed for Ralls County.

He also explained that the easements would be paid for at fair market value.

But the landowners that attended the meeting were sure that once declared a public utility the payments would be small or non-existent.

It was noted that the application process would take part in late March. Hearings will have to be held and landowners were encouraged

to attend every meeting they could.

“We have to stand together and I will stand with you,” said 40th District Representative Jim Hansen to the assembled

at the Saturday meeting.

Organizer Marilyn O’Bannon noted that additional meetings could be held for Ralls and any other county requesting support.
