Drive Safe and Arrive Alive!

Did you know that the rural death rate from motor vehicle accidents is more than double the urban rate? Many factors play a role in accidents along the rural roadways of Missouri which results in more deaths, according to the December 2014 issue of “Rural Spotlight.” Some attributing factors are curvier roads, higher driving speeds, alcohol, distracted/inattentive drivers, lower seatbelt use, and the lack of health system infrastructure to meet emergency needs.

For the time period from 2001 – 2011, the highest death rates were clustered in the rural areas, having a rural death rate of 26.1 per 100,000 residents, which is more than double the urban rate of 12.6 per 100,000 residents.

The best way to survive a crash is to prevent it from happening in the first

place by following driving laws, and practicing safe driving habits. This can help ensure that you and your loved ones “Arrive Alive” from every trip.

ICE (In Case of Emergency) is a stored number in your phone that instantly identifies the contact paramedics should call if you are in an emergency situation. Store your emergency contact’s number as “ICE.” If you have multiple emergency contacts, enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc.

For further information on safe driving, feel free to call Susie at Monroe County Health Department at 660-327-4653.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

As Time Goes By

From the desk of the Editor

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR

All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue

appeal@parismo.net

Deflategate...

When someone writes something that goes viral and is seen and reported by many it is referred to as, “that story has legs.”

In the past week plus we have had some major things that I consider top of the news ladder. We have had a State of the Union, a State of the State, a State of the Judiciary, a scheduled visit by the Israeli Prime Minister to address Congress, major weather events including Winter Storm Juno sort of pounding the Northeast (weathermen wrong? No way), we have had football playoffs and even the hint of a Super Bowl game in the immediate future.

But none of these news events had the “legs” of a simple under inflated batch of footballs. This is a story that will not die. It is on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, all over the Twitterverse and FaceBook. And yes now even in the Monroe County Appeal.

Please it is a game... Albeit the total salaries of the players would go a long way to paying most of the teachers a fairly good wage throughout the United States. It is still a game. Now I am not saying that cheating should be re-

warded but the attention it is getting is not equal to its importance in the meaning of life.

We have many individuals with stories that should have “legs.” Stories such as the “Pink Out Game” success started by two students to honor and keep alive the thoughts and dreams of their 4-H leader. And another of how it has been kept alive by two younger 4-H achievers.

(We all know she is so proud of these youth that she taught the ways and byways of the agricultural landscape.)

We have teachers everyday throughout the country that have stories that should have “legs”. Doctors, lawyers and every level of employment and career have stories.

I am not saying that these footballs are unimportant but that many other things are more so.

Have a great week!

MY TURN Using Ferguson To Fix Courts Some of the folks that want to unite St. Louis and Saint Louis County and the liberal press in St. Louis have targeted small county municipalities through their courts. Some of these tiny towns have been taking in increased revenue from traffic fines. This increase has been going on for some years now and predates Ferguson’s problems. The State now limits what a city can collect from traffic fines to 30 percent of a city’s revenue. They can and probably will reduce that further. The real goal here is to try to starve these little towns and villages out of existence because they are the prime opponents of a city-county merger and due to their size are not as efficient as an entire county can be in providing services. Neither are the numerous courts as efficient as having two or three courts for the entire county. But to make this a civil rights issue or a racial issue is plain wrong. Here is how Tony Messenger puts it in the Post Dis-

patch. “Cities, using their police and courts as tax collectors, are preying on the poor.” Do you ever see police picking out poor folks or rich folks either for getting a traffic ticket?

And this also from Mr. Messenger. “The system as it exists is set up to systematically discriminates against people who are poor and black.” Except of course that the system was up and going when my folks lived in Ferguson when the great majority of the people in these small communities were neither poor nor black. And that the volume in the courts have increased does not mean that those ticketed are somehow not guilty of the violations because they are poor or black is just silly. Why do I care?

Mainly because they are using people who are genuinely disadvantaged to try to make a point for their own other and different goals, maybe like the preacher and the thugs that showed up in Ferguson.

40th District Representative Capitol Report

by Rep. Jim Hansen

It’s been an eventful week! On Tuesday, Jan. 20, I joined the majority of my fellow representatives in rejecting an 11 percent pay increase for elected officials. That would amount to another $4,000 per year. Few jobs allow employees to vote on their own salaries – including state workers. According to Census Bureau data, Missouri public employees are at or near the bottom of almost every industry sector. It wouldn’t be right to increase legislators’ pay when Missouri state employee salaries are still among the lowest in the nation.

Governor Jay Nixon touched on many issues in his State of the State Address on Wednesday, Jan. 21. He pushed for Medicaid expansion, increased cybersecurity, and a plan to make the state’s cattle industry more profitable. Education was also a highlight. The governor asked the legislative body for $11 million in funding for preschool programs, $150 million for public schools, and $25 million for universities and colleges.

Another major issue Governor Nixon spoke about was our highways, bridges, and transportation needs. He comment-

ed that he was interested in exploring Interstate 70 becoming a toll road and having further discussions about raising Missouri’s gas tax. The governor also reported that Missouri still maintains its AAA credit rating.

That is due to Missouri having a constitutional amendment that requires a balanced budget. As a result of the rating, the state will be able to issue new bonds that can be used to fund projects, i.e., a new veterans home that the governor proposed.

These are just some of the items Governor Nixon addressed. The full text of the governor’s speech can be found at http://governor.mo.gov/ ne w s / sp e e che s / 2 0 1 5 state-state-address.

On Wednesday, Jan. 21, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Mary Russell, delivered her State of the Judiciary Address. She mentioned several ways she has improved Missouri’s courts and stated that more than half of our state courts now have electronic filing. Forty more courts are expected to join this year.

By integrating technology to make the courts more accessible for our citizens, cases can be resolved faster and be more cost effecContinued to page 4

Madison 4-H Club News

Agri-News

by Maddie Breid The Dairy Revitalization Act- what is its purpose? Let me first start out by telling you that in the state of Missouri there are currently less than 100,000 dairy cattle. We are to the point of importing milk for our families. The Dairy Revitalization Act’s purpose is to enhance the states dairy industry as well as educate the next generation of dairy farmers.

In 2005 the Milk Cow Population in Missouri was approximately 117,000. By 2009 it had already taken a sharp decline to just 107,000. And by 2013, the total population was a mere 92,000.

So as you can see, Missouri truly is a dairy deficient state.

Funding for the Dairy Revitalization Act would come from general revenue. However, that appropriation could not exceed 40% of the amount of sales tax generated from the sales of dairy products. This could be a problem. This cap on funds could result in only about a tenth of the cost being funded to support all aspects of the Dairy Revitalization Act. The dairy industry in Missouri needs a boost.

Is this the best way to do it? I don’t have all the answers, but I can say that identifying the problem is the first step.

Shelby Woods named to Fall President’s List

She also called for an improvement in Missouri’s child welfare system. The Chief Justice pointed out that the number of children in foster care has increased by 44 percent in just five years. To help those kids, she suggested legislators pass a bill that gives foster parents the right to participate in their children’s court proceedings. That’s certainly a suggestion worthy of consideration.

As for me, committee work was a top priority for our second full week in session. Those of us on the Small Business Committee met Wednesday to begin helping businesses across Missouri improve their bottom line by slowing down job-killing regulations. As Chairman of the Standing Committee on Health Insurance, I scheduled our first hearing for Wednesday, Jan. 28. The hearing will give members a chance to introduce themselves and start preparing to review bills that will come before them. Being the committee’s chair is a privilege and responsibility. I am also scheduled for an Economic Development hearing in the coming week and I look forward to working on that standing committee again in 2015.

Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to continuing to serve you during this year’s legislative session.

Working on your behalf, Representative Jim Hansen Proudly Serving the 40th House District - Lincoln, Monroe, Pike, and Ralls Counties Missouri House of Representatives 573-751-4028

CHURCH NEWS

Gr anv Jane Akers, organist, opened services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, January 25 with the prelude. All were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes; special guests were Phil Willoughby, Jr., Greg and Mikah Blakemore and Linda and Kara Wilkerson.

A tentative schedule of church events for 2015 is available at the rear of the sanctuary. Jane Akers has tickets available for purchase for the Sweetheart Banquet in Madison; the event will be held on February 15. Happy birthday wishes were for: Kelly Forbis, Rod Gremaud, Jimmy McMorris, Ashlie Griffith, Tricia Beasley and special wishes were for Lucille Blakemore celebrating her 99th birthday.

The congregation stood to sing the opening hymn, “How Great Thou Art”. Pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: George Harris, Mac Donovan, Boug Francis and Pat Petrie (Mikah Blakemore’s grandmother). Sympathy was extended to the families of Virginia Ricks and Doris (Williams) Lehenbauer.

The prayer hymn, “His Eye is on the Sparrow” was sung; pastoral prayer was followed by unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

As the communion hymn, “Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face” was sung, elders Gary Wilson and Pete Olney went forward with deacons, Guy Callison and Phil Blakemore. The doxology followed sharing of communion and collection of offerings.

The congregation was treated to special music, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, performed beautifully

by Mikah Blakemore on her violin.

“Don’t Continue to be a Failure” was the message title this day and was based on the story of Jonah from Chapter 3:1-10. Although Jonah rejected God’s calling repeatedly, He kept asking until Jonah responded.

Through God’s guidance, Jonah learned obedience and the importance of doing God’s work. God desires salvation for us all; however, He does not overlook our sins.

The closing hymn, “Tell Me the Old, Old Story”, was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship. A time of fellowship and refreshments was enjoyed. Berna Kotsenburg read “Christ’s Followers are His Friends” from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know.” Diane Wilson shared a reading, “Our Train.” Jim McMorris gave a further review and clarification of Chapter 3 of Romans and then led the group in study of Romans 4:1-10.

Services begin at 9:30 a.m., each Sunday at Holliday Christian Church, followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m.

All are welcome to attend.

Services Sunday, Jan. 25 began with Patti Grimmett playing “O Worship the King” followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in prayer for Arla Eisenhower; Bill Bowman; Melissa Wilson; Stanley Vaughn; Carol Billett; all those in nursing home facilities; Patti and Amanda Grimmett; the Evert Kendrick family; Happy Birthday was sang to Dan and Lea Halleman; Billie and Penny Cearley traveling; leading in the Responsive Reading; Prayer of Confession and all saying the Lord’s Prayer.

Debbie Carey led in song to “Brethren We Have Met To Worship”, “What a Friend We Have In Jesus”, “Higher Ground” and “Take the Name of Jesus With You”.

For the morning special Patti sang “Blessings”.

The Message “Life Together” was based on scripture from James 1 where James (Jesus’ brother) began to believe in Jesus after His death. He says be persistent in faith in God. Trust in all that you pray for and believe in. Pray for guidance. You must believe - be patient.

Wait upon the Lord! When you go to God in times of trouble you will begin to depend on Him - Where do you go when trials come into your life? TO GOD? James wrote a manual to tell us how to live together in harmony - be doers of the word... the Ten Commandments reminds us of our failures - let it transform you...

Jesus Christ can set you free - - Be careful how you respond to someone. When the church goes out think before you speak - take it to the Lord in Prayer. As we are commanded to do Love One Another!

The Offertory was led by Caitlyn Carey as Patti played “Safe in the Arms of Jesus”.

Patti played “The Solid Rock” as all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts.

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

The worship hour for January 25 at the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “Fairest Lord Jesus”. Jim Gay gave the welcome. Caytlyn Provancha read the scripture for the call to worship.

An invitation was given for the Winter Fest Dinner tonight hosted by the Olivet Christian Church.

The praise hymn was “Glorify Thy Name”. “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” was sung before the morning prayer given by Nancy Seelow. “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” was the response.

Jim gave the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper.

“The Solid Rock” was the choir’s special music.

Jeannie Gay asked the children if they had played “Follow the Leader”, and explained how Jesus set a good example for His disciples in saying “Come follow Me”.

Exodus 3:1-8 was read by Jim for his sermon “Walking with Faith” telling the trial of Moses as he led his people out of Egypt.

“Jesus Is Calling” was the invitation hymn, the benediction was given and singing “take the name of Jesus With You” closed the service.

It was announced that Our Father’s Closet will be closed during the month of February. Kathy Miller played the prelude and Wayne Daffron gave the invocation.

Cheryl Gholson gave the children’s sermon. They did the Hokey Pokey song with motions. As they sang they put in the arm, the feet and then the whole body.

This is like the Bible verse that compares the many individual spiritual gifts and our church body in Romans 12:6. Each person has a gift and when all of them are put together they work perfectly. Lindsey Mitchell led children’s church.

Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship. We need to attribute the good things that happen in our life to God. The adult choir directed by Cheryl Gholson sang special music, “Lamb of God”.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “Jesus: Going and Coming” from Acts 1:1-9. The disciples were watching as Jesus was taken up. The angels spoke to the disciples saying in verse 10 saying, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you have seen Him going into heaven.” Many of the disciples had weaknesses but they were used by God to accomplish many good and wondrous things. Christianity is for everyone. We can live in the here and now or live a life through the Holy Spirit and look forward to the second coming of Christ.

Anna Washburn came forward expressing her faith and belief in Christ and wishing to be baptized.

On January 25 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 Piazza Night on Feb. 21 at 6 p.m.

The message this week was titled ‘Jesus taught Lessons’ and came from Matthew 14:22-33. Mark 6:52 says the disciples did not gain insight from Jesus feeding 5,000+ people with two fish and five loaves. They were two years into ministry and needed to know Jesus’ divineness; Jesus would teach them another way.

Jesus sent the disciples on the sea. Jesus has the authority to send disciples anywhere at any time He desires. Jesus is the Son of God, a member of the Holy Trinity. Jesus has the same authority over believer’s lives today. Jesus then goes away to pray to the Father and regains strength. Maybe Jesus prayed for the disciples because Jesus knew there was a storm coming over the sea. If we do not learn from Jesus in everyday life Jesus will send storms for us to learn in.

Jesus knows humans learn more in storms than in pleasant times of life. Pressures of life are to make us look for God to intervene. Faith is stretched the more extreme the situation. Jesus put the disciples in an extreme situation to ensure they did not miss the intended lessons.

Jesus protected the disciples by coming to them in their need. Jesus does the same for us today. The disciples were scared and their terror led them to see a ghost when they should have see Jesus. When we let terror rule we may miss Jesus also. Terror cannot block out the voice of Jesus. Jesus’ sheep know His voice.

Jesus shows His divine love by teaching Peter a personal lesson. Peter needed to learn the view is different outside the boat. When Jesus calls us to serve Him, it is like Peter getting outside the boat; the view is different. All disciples are called to get out of the boat. Peter learned not to pay more attention to circumstances in life than to Jesus. Jesus’ love restored Peter and Jesus would need to do so again later on. Jesus never gives up on us.

Jesus shows His divine power by stopping the storm.

He never said a word but the storm stopped and they were at the land where they were going (John 6:21). So Jesus took the disciples through a storm of life. Jesus demonstrated His divine authority, knowledge, love, and power to the disciples; the lessons they should have learned at the feeding of the 5,000.

The eyes of the disciples were opened more than before and their hearts softened. The disciples’ faith grew past amazement and into worship of Jesus Christ the Son of God. This is the intended results of seeing Jesus move in your life. Do not be afraid of the storms of life if you are a believer. Instead look for Jesus and what He wants to show you to strengthen your faith in Him so that you will glorify His name more with your life.

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

Prayer led by Eld. Fugate Scripture read by Eld. Berry Offering directed by Min. Ballenger Bishop Long’s message was entitled: “According To Your Heart” “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart” I Samuel 16:7.

SENIOR LIVING

Planning for Your Future

Aging happens naturally, but aging well takes careful planning. Take steps to ensure that your financial, living and medical needs will be met in old age.

Aging is a time of transition. Many people start taking steps to eat better, get regular exercise, and manage stress to extend their healthy years. But it goes beyond that: Healthy aging should include thinking ahead to the financial, medical, and family issues that you could face in old age.

Your Personal Security Plan Older adults face many decisions in the last decades of their lives. Taking some time to look at the issues ahead and plan accordingly can make the future easier and more enjoyable for both you and your family. Here are some areas to consider: Your money. Saving for retirement is important, and you want to make sure you have enough money to live on and enjoy life in your old age.

You also want to make sure that money is protected, that you can get to it if you need it, and that you have enough to take care of yourself and your family. You should also make decisions about what should happen to that money when you die by preparing a

will or trust document that spells out your wishes.

Your health care. You may need more health care in old age than you did when you were younger. It’s important to make sure that you have health insurance coverage, possibly a second plan to cover costs not met by Medicare, and that you understand the coverage and have enough money on hand to cover what your plan doesn’t.

Keep your health and life insurance policy information stored in a safe but accessible place.

Your life. The onset of a health emergency – such as a heart attack, stroke, major injury, or terminal illness – is not the best time to make key decisions. Preparing advance directives like a durable power of attorney, a living will, and other documents that state your end-of-life wishes can save you and your family from unneeded stress in a time of crisis.

Your care. It’s tough to think about not being able to take care of yourself, but that point may come. Friends and family members may

Make preparations and provisions and develop a plan to deal with these issues in the event one of you becomes sick.

Although financial assistance for senior health care is available, it’s best to begin planning well in advance.

Programs like Medicaid have strict rules and regulations, and may not cover enough of your medical expenses for you to maintain a comfortable standard of living. Start looking at your financial options early and consult with legal and financial professionals to ensure that you and your family are cared for in your old age.

When you’re ready to start planning, there are people who can assist you in making the necessary arrangements.

An elder care attorney can advise you and your spouse or partner on legal issues and financial arrangements and draw up legal documents.

Also, consider having a geriatric medical assessment done. This process can give you a picture of your overall health. The earlier health problems are identified, the more input you’ll be able to have in your future care and the care of your family. Your health care team can help develop a plan to make sure your living arrangements are safe and will serve your needs in the years ahead. An assessment is an especially good idea if you are already experiencing some health problems or signs of dementia.

Although no one likes to think about getting old, putting a plan in place earlier rather than later can help you maintain the lifestyle you want to have as you enter your later years.

and moral.

We live our lives on a consistent basis in some kind of personality, depending on what is going on with us at the time. Personality: is the quality of the state of being of a person’s behavior and emotional characteristic at that moment. Disposition: the tendency to at in a certain manner under given circumstances. The intellect: is the power of knowing verses the power of feelings and to will it done. Emotion: the state of feeling to the point of excitement or disturbance.

The word moral means: relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior. “As in water face answerth to face, so the heart of man to man” Proverb 27:19. As in water the face reflected back, so a man’s heart reveals a man disposition to be discerned by others.

For thought reflects a person’s true character.

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee” Proverbs 23:7. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

How is if that we can think ourselves into a frenzy but cannot think ourselves into faith, listen, intense thinking often results in disordered activity or behavior. According to your heart and from that heart comes our personality our disposition, our intellect, our emotions and morality.

Listen our heart, instructs us “I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons” Psalms 16:7. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel. My heart also instruct me in the dark times. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings” Jeremiah 17:9-10. The outcomes of our lives will result according to our hearts.
