APPEAL PHOTO

Local resident topic of coast to coast news Former Monroe County Appeal editor and local entrepreneur and business owner Chuck Herron heard the loud thud, then another and another. It sounded like someone was dropping big snowballs on the roof of his home.

The house is more than 100 years old and creaks, Herron said, but he had “never heard anything like that before.”

As his neighbors in tiny Paris, huddled around televisions Sunday for the Super Bowl, many were startled by similar strange noises. Some even saw flashes of light and called 911.

Scientists say the community experienced a rare natural phenomenon known as a “frost quake,” which happens when moisture in the ground suddenly freezes and expands. If conditions are just right, the soil or bedrock breaks like a brittle frozen pipe, generating mysterious noises that range from an earthquake-like rumble to sharp cracking sounds sometimes mistaken for falling trees.

This winter has been ripe for frost quakes, known technically as cryoseism.

Temperatures have been frigid, but occasional warm-ups have allowed for thawing. And the temperature swings have sometimes been abrupt.

That was the case last weekend in Missouri, where temperatures in the 40s on Saturday gave way to single-digit readings by Sunday night.

In Mark Twain’s hometown of Hannibal, Mo., 100 miles north of St. Louis, police and emergency dispatches received several calls within about two hours. Facebook feeds were filled with worries.

Some people compared the noise to a sonic boom that rattles windows, said Michael Hall, executive director of the 911 center that covers the Hannibal area.

Others described it as sounding like “somebody banging on their house.”

Missouri isn’t alone. Frost quakes were reported last month in Canada and in several other states - Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin.

In DeKalb, Ill., Lisa Kammes and her family were getting ready for bed earlier this winter when the loud popping noises began.

“The louder ones sounded like somebody was throwing snowballs at the house,” Kammes said.

Neighbors heard noises too, and several contacted police.

“It wasn’t the regular noise you hear when your house is creaking, blowing in the wind or ice is breaking,” Kammes said.

The light flashes reported by some people are believed to come from electrical changes that occur when the freezing compresses rocks.

It’s That Time of Year...

As John Turner says at numerous events that he attends as President of the Monroe County Cancer Supporters, “we have plenty of opportunities to sperate you from your money.” (At the Blow Cancer Away fundraiser) We know that all the donations made here in Monroe County are going for a worthy and charitable cause - the eradication of cancer in our lifetime and the ability to help your family member, your friend and your neighbors. Coming in March (March 1) is their signature fundraising event - Blow Cancer Away. Each year the citizens of Monroe County and the surrounding area astound me with the generous amount of donations that are generated by this event.

This year’s event will take place in Monroe City, at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

The past week I have had a couple opportunities to hear one side or the other

These events have been chock full of information on issues delivered with passion and professionalism.

I commend the organizations and individuals who are organizing and holding these meetings to help the citizens of the county make informed decisions.

Finally, sign ups for the Primary Election, in August, begin on Tuesday, Feb. 25. The political system only works when citizens put their life on hold to run for office to help direct our future.

Have a great week!

It is a tough job being a parent. I have always believed and continue to believe it is the hardest job I have ever had. (And I have had ALL types of jobs). Being a parent can be very difficult and trying and can leave us feeling like we are inadequate. The problem I think, is a lot of us were a little clueless when we started our families. (I know I was.) Yes, some of us may have had some hands on experience with taking care of children through babysitting or watching our brothers or sisters. Yes, some of us had even taking classes on childcare or studied how the human mind works in a college course but let’s face it------none of that really helps us with the day to day raising of our children.

Let me suggest some classes that I think would have been very beneficial: How to tune out your child when they are driving you crazy Effective ways in get-

Income Inequality

top 10 percent of Americans from taking home 50 percent of the country’s income. The political problem in that while the vast majority of Americans think that rising inequality is a problem, that concern is not reflected in their lists of priority items for voters. This result provides a roadmap for Democrats to make a case for reducing the tax breaks for wealthier citizens and improving the job market for lower and middle class workers. Republicans may look at the same unease and make their case for regulatory rollback and reforms to stimulate the economy and the job market. And yes, there may be some areas that lend themselves to cooperation that result in improving the economic conditions for all of us. Both parties must avoid confusing their ideological commitments for what really concerns the public.

Voter concern over lack of good jobs, stagnation of wages, weak growth and the high cost of raising a family including the costs of health care and higher education offer opportunities to plan and create serious and long term solutions for both parties going forward. The task is not so much narrowing the gap in income as it is making sure the American dream is not out of reach and out of play for our kids and theirs.

Yes, we will always be a part of their lives but they are going to need someone who will be right there with them no matter where they go. I want them to know how much God loves them and how He will always be there for them no matter what. I want them to feel His love and know He approves of them. I want them to know in the deepest part of their heart and soul that God says, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made and there is nothing that can separate you from My love.” So that even in the times when they might be getting teased or made fun of, in the times when they feel like they have failed, or when they have done something they know they should not have done, God has not and will not ever leave them.

And even though I love them with every fiber of my being, I have and will make mistakes in raising them. I will not always say the right words in the right way. I will not always be the best example in some areas but I do know that I can show them a woman who loves God and relies on His help daily to love others.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

MY TURN There is a growing sense in our country that the economic recovery is leaving the poor and what is left of the middle class, behind. And the idea of income inequality has become an issue to be reckoned with in political and economic discussion. A recent Gallup Poll found that two thirds of adults are either somewhat or very dissatisfied with the distribution of wealth in this country, including 54 percent of Republicans.

The rich getting richer has caught the public’s attention. Since 2009, 95 percent of U.S. economic gains have gone to the wealthiest one percent of the population. While Wall Street profits and stock gains hit all time highs, the salaries on Main Street have been stagnant and millions can’t find jobs that pay middle class salaries.

While liberals are using this inequality to argue for raising the minimum wage, increasing top tax rates and closing tax loopholes, conservative arguments list globalization’s impact on “low skilled jobs” and social and cultural factors for continuing inequality. They point to broken homes, crime filled communities and schools that are not educating our young people. Hiking the minimum wage and the top tax rates may make a marginal difference overall but does not appear to stop the

the parents who have already been there and done that.

Parents who have learned through a lot of trial and error what to do and what not to do.

None of us have the perfect answer or the perfect way to raise our children. I do believe we can learn some things from other parents and then we can trust God to help us do the best we can possibly do. I was thinking about what I thought was the most important thing I needed to teach my children. Is it how to have good manners, how to keep your head in the books, how to have good work ethic, or how to clean up after yourself? There are sooooo many things we are teaching our children or should be teaching our children day in and day out. But sometimes it is the very thing we are not trying to teach our children that we are teaching them the most. This can be both good things and some not-so-good things.

I decided the best thing I can show my children is how much I love God and the most important thing I can teach them is how much He loves them. I know it is hard to swallow but we will not always be with our children.

One day they will go off to

Frost Quakes...

Continued from front

University Earthquake Center said frost quakes are far different from real earthquakes.

Tremors typically occur a mile or two underground. Frost quakes are near the surface and do not show up on seismographs.

“People nearby will probably notice them a lot because they are shallow, but because they do not penetrate deep within the earth, the magnitude will not be large,” Herrmann said. “But the process is the same. There is something that is causing rock to move, and as the rock moves, it generates sound waves and the ground motion.”

AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said frost quakes are most common in the northern Plains.

“It has to get suddenly colder,” Sosnowski said.

“If you have a mild winter, you’re probably not going

to have a lot of this going on.”

Experts say damage is rare but homeowners who experience a frost quake should check for foundation cracks and watch for damage to water and natural gas lines.

Damage is not common, but it happens. In Waupun, Wis., a frost quake last month created a 100-foot crack in a driveway. Homeowner Dennis Olssen told authorities the boom was so loud he thought it was an explosive until he learned that neighbors experienced the same thing.

Kammes said the noise on that otherwise quiet night was so alarming that her husband went outside to make sure no one had damaged the home.

“When we found out what it was,” she said, “it was actually a relief.”

About The Benjamin House: The Shelbina Mansion, also known as The Benjamin House, was completed in 1873 for John Forbes Benjamin. The 4,600 square foot mansion, designed by architect Henry G. Isaacs of St. Louis, is an unusual example of Italian Villa style architecture, notable for its generous proportions and ornamentation both inside and out. The cast iron, bracketed canopies on the windows of the front block are extraordinary; to date no other examples have been noted by the Missouri State Historical Survey and Planning Office. The Benjamin House is now owned

by Mike and Marilyn Shepherd who are lovingly restoring the mansion to its original glory. The Shepherds are planning to open their home for special events and weddings; “Tea with the ‘Unsinkable’ Molly Brown” is one of the first public events to be held at the Shelbina Mansion.

The Monroe County Historical Society met Jan. 27 at the Senior Citizen’s Center with 19 in attendance. Marguerite Jones called the meeting to order. Jan Smiley has gotten the newsletter out and did a wonderful job. The article was on the Ragsdale house south of town that George and Cheryl Bright purchased.

Louise Armstrong reported that the Quilt Show will be April 12 at either the Legion Hall or the Library. Ken McGee is getting the Cedar Grove cemetery book reprinted for us. He will be in Paris

March 23 thru April 1.

Marguerite has checked on getting a reprint of the Now and Then book.

If we can resell 10 books then we will reprint 25.

The books sell for $65.00 a book. We adjourned for lunch and had a wonderful meal. Then Tara Sheffield gave a program on the center and its finances.

She has done an awesome job of turning that around with all of the fund raisers and hard work. She also spoke on how to apply for grants.

The next meeting will be Monday, Feb. 24 at the Senior Citizen’s Center.

Top Signs Your BrakesByAre Giving Out Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Brakes are a vital safety feature of any vehicle, and getting acquainted with your brake system should be a priority. “The braking system on your vehicle is critical in keeping you and your passengers alive and well and your vehicle out of the body shop,” says James Solomon, Defensive Driving Courses program development and training director with the National Safety Council.

Protect yourself by knowing the warning signs of brake damage or failure—and knowing how to react. Possible Causes Brake damage or failure can be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to: Improper or infrequent maintenance, such as low levels of brake fluid and worn brake pads and/or rotors Undetected damage from an unknown source Hauling a heavy trailer that doesn’t have trailer brakes. This can overheat the vehicle’s brakes and cause accelerated brake wear and damage. Wear and tear from weather extremes—including, but not limited to, corrosion from road salt Warning Signs If you experience any of the following problems, it’s time to troubleshoot: Odd noises. If tapping on the brakes causes a high-pitched squealing noise, you need to see a mechanic as soon as possible. Other suspect sounds? Scratching, scraping and grinding. Irregular movements or feeling. If your vehicle pulls hard to the left or right when you stop, one side of your brakes is working optimally and the other isn’t, says Solomon.

Brakes that sink to the floorboard or pulsate before they function—or a steering wheel that shakes—also are red flags that warrant attention. Inability to stop quickly. An increased stopping distance indicates a problem with your brakes. Warning lights. Perhaps the most obvious red flag: the brake warning light on your dashboard flashes when something is amiss. How to React If your brakes fail while you’re driving, remain calm, keep your focus on the road and take immediate action: Activate your emergency flashers and honk your horn to alert other drivers. Take your foot off the accelerator to begin slowing down, and carefully maneuver your vehicle to the right lane or shoulder. Be sure to signal properly and watch for other drivers. Downshift to let the engine help slow the vehicle. If your vehicle has anti-lock brakes, press down firmly on the brake pedal. If your car isn’t equipped with this safety system, pump the pedal. Once you’ve decreased speed, engage the parking brake slowly and gradually. If you do this too quickly and with too much pressure, your wheels could lock up. New Vehicle Tips“Before purchasing a vehicle, inquire as to what type of braking system it has and the fail-safe system that backs it up,” says Solomon, who recommends asking the following questions while shopping: Are you required to listen for a noise from the rotors or drums? Is there a warning light system that warns of worn brakes?

If the yellow brake light on the instrument panel comes on, how long do you have to seek assistance? If the red brake light on the instrument panel comes on, what do you do? How often (in miles and months) should you have the brakes looked at by a certified brake professional? In addition to familiarizing yourself with your brake system, make sure you’re well acquainted with your vehicle’s other safety features and never take them for granted.

Morning church service was opened by an invocation by Charles Ensor. Kathy Miller and Brenda Ensor provided worshipful music throughout the service, Wesley Hammond gave the announcements.

Jimmy Stewart gave the children’s sermon. He asked, “Who is your neighbor – the person who lives next to your house, your friends, or everyone?” Our neighbor is everyone; even people who are looked down upon or people who are mean to us or people we do not like.

Jesus loves all of these people. Jonah did not like the people he was supposed to preach to but he got a second chance to serve God. We need to tell others about God. Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship from Hebrews 10. Mike DeOrnellis provided music playing the guitar and singing. His selections were “Majesty” and “Shout to the Lord”. Cheryl Gholson and Steve Ensor sang a duet, “The Proof of Your Love”.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from 1 Corinthians 13, entitled “The Greatest is Love”. Does our life reflect the proof of God’s love and existence?

The Apostle Paul is writing to the church about the importance of God’s love. Gifts of prophesy, knowledge and faith are nothing if we have not love. God’s love is patient, kind and does not boast nor is it self-seeking or rude. It is not easily angered nor does it keep a record of wrongs. God’s love should show actions in our life to be patient and slow to anger. Forgiveness is an important part of God’s love. Verse 13 says, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

“My Worship Is For Real” - sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “Regardless Of What It Is, It Is What God Regards” St. Luke 5:1-6, 11 In verses 5 and 6, Peter and the other fishermen’s encounter with Jesus Christ, was for the purpose of teaching them that regardless of what it is in your life, that may be hindering you from your intended purpose, it is what God has in regards for you and His purpose for your life.

We cannot overcome the bad past of our lives, if we continue to do those things in our present. We cannot stop bad habits if we continue to do them, but the Text tells us, regardless; in spite of everything, it is what God regards. In other words, it is what He holds in high esteem that will make a difference in our lives, now and in the future.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us!

Weekly service times: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wed. - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

On Sunday, Feb. 9, services at Holliday Christian Church were opened with the welcome from Reverend David Holmes following the prelude by organist, Jane Akers. The congregation shared the joy of having Mary McMorris able to attend church following her surgeries.

Church activity calendars for 2014 are available at the rear of the sanctuary. Madison Christian Church’s ham and bean dinner has been rescheduled for Sunday, Feb. 23. Paris Presbyterian Church will host a soup luncheon on Feb. 23. The Sweetheart Banquet is scheduled for Sunday evening, Feb. 16, at the Madison Community Center; serving begins at 5 p.m.

Happy birthday was sung to: Jane Akers and Shelby Davis. The opening hymn, “I Love to Tell the Story”, was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Jimmie Hultz, Sally Blakemore and Beverly Wandrey. Sympathy was extended to the families of Priscilla Havens and Patti Kinder. Nellis Kotsenburg announced that his cousin, Sage, was awarded a Gold Medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The prayer hymn, “The Beautiful Garden of Prayer” was sung; prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. As “Break Thou the Bread of Life” was sung, elders, Gary Wilson and Guy Callison, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Deacons were Darold Thrasher and Nellis Kotsenburg. The congregation stood for the doxology to close the communion service.

Reverend Holmes’ morning message, “Being Commissioned”, had scripture reference from Matthew 5:13-16. Jesus turns to ordinary, simple people and tells them they are “the light” that this dark world needs in actions, words and deeds. Sometimes our best work for God (being the light) is done by doing things we don’t think we are capable of and don’t want to do. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Jesus is Calling”” was sung. Pastoral prayer and singing of the “Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

Immediately following services, Chairman Gary Wilson called the monthly congregational meeting to order. Minutes of the January meeting were read as approved by Mary McMorris, acting secretary. Jane Akers, treasurer, gave the financial reports which were also approved. The replacement doors for the front of the building are being painted in preparation for installation. The congregation discussed possible sale of a lot in Holliday; following review of investment in the property, the sale was approved and an asking price established. The meeting was adjourned on motion by George Harris, second by Pete Olney.

Following a time for fellowship and refreshments, the group was tested by Mendy Blades and Jim McMorris in naming the twelve disciples. Mendy then read “The Golden Rule is God’s Rule” from “365 Things Gods Wants Us to Know.” Sandy Callison provided a reading entitled “The Grocery List”. Jim McMorris led the group in prayer and in study of John 1:29-51 and 2:1-11.

Services are held each Sunday with worship at 9:30 a.m. and Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

On Feb. 9, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: The True Love Waits Youth Lock-In was a success with eight girls pledging purity until marriage. Feb. 15 Men’s Breakfast will be at 8:30 a.m., Feb. 22 at 6 p.m. will be Pizza and Movie Night at the church.

The message this week was titled ‘Work a Godly Work’ and came from 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. Christians are taught that they are to do a good work for the Lord and this is scripturally correct. Many Christians then start to do something for the Lord not realizing the Lord wants a particular good work from them. Jesus as Lord is in charge to lead every Christian to do the work He wants from them.

The Apostle Paul told the Church at Corinth that they could not live as they had lived before they became believers. Before they had been led astray by dumb idols but now they have the leading of the Holy Spirit to guide and empower them. Yet in church some were calling Christ one who is excluded from God’s favor. The Holy Spirit did not teach them this. They were listening to the wrong spirit through the practice of ecstatic utterances from their leaders.

Paul explains there are different spiritual gifts given to the body of Christ and the Spirit, the Lord, and God are involved in all of them. Because spiritual gifts are all about God there should be no pride, controversy, or division over the spiritual gifts. Man should be humbled to know God would desire to work through him. There is no place for arrogance in the working of spiritual gifts.

God gives spiritual gifts to believers for the edification of mankind. These gifts are to benefit the church and the believer morally and spiritual. These gifts are also to benefit the lost person. If Christians did good works that are empowered by the Holy Spirit, the lost person would see Jesus in us and realize they are missing out on something special. The lost person does not see this when believers do works through their own strength.

In Matt. 24:12 and 2 Tim.3:1 the Bible teaches that men will love themselves instead of God. Is this because the no longer see Jesus moving in the lives of His followers because they no longer work in His leading and power? The light of Christ only shines when the follower of Christ allows Christ to work through them.

This is done by finding and using your spiritual gift(s) under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Paul gives some examples of spiritual gifts in the church. This list is not all inclusive for there are other Scriptures that show spiritual gifts. I hope you care enough to seek them out. Paul ends with returning the focus of spiritual gifts on God. Spiritual gifts begin and end with Him and are empowered by Him. Let Jesus be Lord and show you your spiritual gift(s).

The February meeting was held the 8th. Pam Spoor arranged for Steve “Gator” Shaw, the E.M.D. (Emergency Management Director), from Audrain County to presented a very informative and interesting program on Emergency Preparedness. He gave much food for thought and information on getting ready and being prepared for or in case of an emergency. Since Monroe County has experienced emergencies in the form of tornadoes, flood, fire, ice storms, utility outages, etc., it gave members all pause to consider if we would be ready. They learned that

Monroe County is part of the Mark Twain Council and that every county has a State Coordinator.

Steve told themabout the Web based Notification Group, Everbridge, that Audrain uses for emergency notification.

When Mr. Shaw was finished they started their regular meeting.

John Turner gave dates of importance, opporturnity and a general overview of the NEMO Chapter of the Back Country Horseman, The club voted to have a bowling party the afternoon of March 8, before the regularly scheduled meeting. It will start at 3 p.m., at the Mexico Bowling Alley.

It was voted to combine the Nov. Thanksgiving/Dec. Christmas meeting into one and have it be on Nov. 8.

The purpose of the Monroe County Saddle Club is to further the knowledge and ability of and to create fellowship among those interested in horseback riding.

The next meeting will be March 8, at 6:30 p.m., at the Paris Library. The menu will be Soup and Sandwiches.
