APPEAL PHOTO

Munoz arraigned in 10th Circuit Court On Thursday, February 5 (Law Day in Monroe County), Jessica Munoz, 28, Moberly, with her attorney Raymond Legg, appeared before 10th Circuit Judge Rachel Bringer Shepherd for arraignment. Munoz is charged with seconddegree murder (A Felony), and two other felony charges - armed criminal action and hindering prosecution of a felony. All charges stated here for both defendants

rose out of the February 19, 2014, shooting death of Zachary Dawson, in Madison.

At her appearance, her attorney waived official reading of the charges and entered not guilty pleas to all charges. Legg made a motion for both a change of judge and a change of venue (place of court appearances and/or trial).

Judge Shepherd noted that the request would be sent to OSCA (Office of State Courts Administrator), in Jefferson City.

According to Monroe County Prosecutor Talley Kendrick, OSCA will select a judge and that will also help select the new venue. Her $1,000,000 cash only bond was continued and Munoz remains in custody.

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

Cancer Awareness... Just two little words but in the next few weeks we will have a couple of key opportunities to actually do something about it or at least increase our knowledge of this important subject.

On Saturday, March 7 (I can’t believe how fast this year is already going) is the signature Monroe County Cancer Supporters fundraising event - Blow Cancer Away.

This year’s event will take place at the Paris R-II Schools High School Gymnasium, in Paris. Each year the event rotates between venues making it easier for our communities to take part and participate in this fun and worthy event.

The doors open at 5 p.m., with dinner served at 6 p.m.

An auction follows dinner as usual. The cost? A free will donation. You can purchase

DAVID EALES

tickets in advance for items up for raffle and then there is also both a live and silent auction.

The other major event taking place in the next two week’s is the annual “Kickoff ” for the 2015 Relay For Life of Monroe County that takes place in June. Kickoff will be held in March, at jacs restaurant, in Paris. The Relay Committee is planning on many interesting ideas that night so look for details to be announced soon.

MY TURN Looking Like America

The film industry has always had a reputation for being a very liberal industry. So it was surprising to see some fairly strong criticism of the Oscar nominations for not including more African-American nominees.

One of the public gripes was that the nominees should somehow reflect the general population of America. In this magical world African-Americans should be 11 or 12 percent of the nominees and presumably 11 or 12 percent of those who choose the winners. The assumption not stated is that if there were more minority voters involved that they would pick winners that looked like them, but that the majority of the voters would not do the same. And neither would therefore be voting on the quality or talent displayed in a given film. Many roles are limited for actors and actresses by historical fact and accuracy. You can portray a governor or president as an African-American actor but not a Governor of Georgia in the 1920’s.

Likewise no white actor

would be picked to be on the team that was in a film about the Negro League.

The set aside necessary to meet the politically correct ratio is plainly not fair nor feasible and looks a lot like the not separate but not equal either standards we have used for racial differences in hiring and education in the past.

Quality and talent should not have a racial component nor should an artist or writer be rated or judged by his or her skin color nor be immune from criticism because of it. There is not much real dispute about who the best golfer and basketball player of recent times might be. No color component there. But are we reluctant to criticize a minority poet’s work as not so great or a writer’s second book as a bad read? If not, we are one step away from the proponents’ idea of proportional representation where being the best at what we do can be trumped by how many of us there already are of the same race doing it.

P.A.T.R.I.O.T.S. fund to support Paris sports

As a follow up from last week’s letter, I am proud to let all alumni and former residents, and lifelong Coyotes know that the P.A.T.R.I.O.T.S. (Paris Alumni Taking Resources Into Our Town’s Sports) is up and running! Funds are coming in thanks to those whose hearts are – and always will be – close to the seventh through twelfth grade sports programs, in Paris. Our hope is to help support programs currently funded 100% by the parents and fundraisers throughout the community as well as to purchase equipment.

Let’s rally together to guarantee that everyone has the opportunity to excel not only on the field or court, but also in life. Please feel free to drop funds off at The Paris National Bank or mail to TPNB, 118 N. Main Street, Paris, MO 65275 c/o P.A.T.R.I.O.T.S. Again only Jim Buckman and Chuck Brazeale have access to these funds and will work closely with the coaches and staff to give all athletes the opportunity to wear the blue and white with pride.

As a follow-up to last week’s challenge to all former quarterbacks, this week I challenge all wide receivers to step up and donate. No donation is to small to make a positive impact on today’s youth.

Sincerely, Travis Barr PHS Alum ‘92 Editor’s Note: The word youth was erroneously left in Mr. Barr’s Letter to the Editor on page 8 last paragraph referring to the Paris Football Team not Paris Youth Football Program.

40th District Representative Capitol Report

by Rep. Jim Hansen

The Missouri Capitol was buzzing this week! It’s apparent that the legislative process is in full swing as members work to send legislation to the House floor.

Days are filled with various committee meetings, hearings, and vetting of bills. The Committee on Health Insurance, which I chair, had the opportunity to hear House Bill 130 on Wednesday. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Holly Rehder, was the first piece of legislation our committee heard. It would establish a prescription drug monitoring program.

If passed, HB 130 would also require dispensers to electronically submit information to the Department of Health and Human Services for each prescription filled. This would be in accordance with the standards set by the American Society for Automation in Pharmacy. All submitted information would be confidential and not subject to freedom of information or “sunshine” laws. As previously mentioned, Missouri is the only state to lack such a program.

The Committee on Health Insurance heard testimony from about 25 witnesses on Wednesday. They represented law enforcement, the medical profession, and other organizations with an interest in the HB 130.

Some even spoke as individuals who have lost loved ones to prescription drug overdose. No opposition was heard. The next hearing will be scheduled in the near future and a vote will be made to move the bill from our committee and to the Senate.

The Committee on Emerging Issues heard testimony on three bills. HB 531 would require childproof packaging for the liquid nicotine that is used in vapor Continued to page 5

Court Arraignment... Paris R-II Band captures three First Chairs Continued from front at Lewis and Clark Conference Band

The other defendant in the case, Jason Lage, 32, Columbia, is charged with second-degree murder (A Felony), and two other felony charges - armed criminal action and tampering with physical evidence in felony prosecution. After a counsel hearing in January his preliminary hearing in now set for Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 1:30 p.m., before 10th Circuit Associate Judge Michael P. Wilson. Lage’s bond ($1,000,000 cash) has been continued.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Department worked in tandem on the investigation. According to the Missouri Attorney General’s office, lengthy delays in cases such as this with a large amount of forensic evidence are the result of fastidious care by the Missouri Highway Patrol lab in processing the evidence. With a possible large amount of forensic evidence in this case it has taken a year for the defendants to be arraigned on the current charges.

Any indication of an arrest and charges filed does not mean the individual or individuals identified has been convicted of a crime. All persons arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

“Yet, many people fail to connect the dots to realize farmers are the source of their supply of food and much more,” says Ashley Kendrick, County P/E Chairman.

Consumers in the U.S. spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food, based on USDA figures. That amount is less than any country in the world.

Farming is about more than just food! From medical items to manufacturing and construction, agriculture is part of the formula.

“Seldom do we stop and ask ourselves, ‘where did this come from?’ says Kendrick. “Farmers and what they provide should not be taken for granted.”

Agriculture is an important part of Monroe County’s economy, where farm businesses give back to the community in many ways. Join the Monroe County Farm Bureau as we celebrate agriculture and ‘Thank a Farmer’ for a job well done during our special promotion February 8-14.

e-cigarettes. HB 137 would prohibit paying for points in the bidding process for contract license offices. HB 120 would establish the Password Privacy Protection Act. And in the Committee on Economic Development, we dealt with HB 506. It would allow tax credits for wine production to apply to both new and used equipment.

Two bills passed from the House this week. The first, HB 150, would reform unemployment so that benefits are linked to the current rate of unemployment in the state of Missouri. It passed with a vote of 112 to 47. HB 259, which would establish the Dairy Revitalization Act, features a three-pronged approach to support Missouri’s struggling dairy industry. The bill would protect 23,000 jobs that are directly or indirectly related to dairy production. It also includes a provision for studies that would help make plans to grow the industry.

The bill passed with a vote of 110 to 49.

This week I also met with Robin Simpson, Director of the Mark Twain Council of Government, Mayor Jo Anne Smiley of Clarksville, and Rep. Lincoln Hough, who serves on the Budget Committee. We discussed the possibility of coordinating state funds with federal grants to provide flood protection for the city of Clarksville. In the long term, this would save taxpayers money. Preparedness results in less costly repairs when natural disasters inevitably strike communities.

Updates on this issue will be provided in the weeks to come.

It is both an honor and a privilege to play a role in the legislative process with fellow members and we work to make Missouri a better place for our citizens to live and raise their families. Again, I appreciate your support and look forward to serving the 40th District.

CHURCH NEWS

an Church hristi C e ill Gr anv Pastor Fran Schnarre On Sunday, February 8, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church was welcomed by Reverend David Holmes following the prelude by Jane Akers, organist.

Special guest was Angie Threlkeld.

A meeting will be held at Rock Bridge Christian Church in Columbia on February 21 to discuss reorganization of Mid-America Christian Churches. A thank you from OATS in Monroe County for the donation from Madison and Holliday Christian Churches was shared.

Happy birthday was sung to Jane Akers, Virginia Vanlandingham, Elizabeth Wilson, Matt Wilson and Wyatt Wilson. The opening hymn, “Love Divine, All Loves Excelling” was sung; pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Mac Donovan, George Harris, Larry Parrott, Boug Francis and the Steven Dailing family who lost their home in a fire last weekend. Fundraisers are being planned in Madison and Centralia for the Daly family. Sympathy was extended to the families of George Rice and Bob Griffith.

Berna and Nellis Kotsenburg shared the joy of having Abby Kotsenburg going forward to make her confession of faith at her church on this day.

“I Must Tell Jesus” was the prayer hymn sung; pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed moments of meditation during playing of the final verse.

As the communion hymn, “This Do In Remembrance of Me” was sung, elders Gary Wilson and Guy Callison, and deacons, Nellis Kotsenburg and Gerald Roberts, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. The doxology closed the communion portion of the service following sharing of communion and offering collection “Be Still” was the morning message’s title which referred to scripture from Mark 1:29-39. The importance of stepping back and taking time out of our busy lives to be in prayer and in conversation with God was stressed.

Taking charge and being still for a few moments each day is vital to our souls.

The closing hymn, “Jesus Saves”, was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship. Immediately following services, Gary Wilson, Chairman, called the monthly congregational meeting to order. Minutes of the last meeting were approved as read by Carole Roberts. Financial reports given by Jane Akers were also approved. Various church issues were discussed and the meeting was then adjourned on motion by Pete Olney.

A time of fellowship and refreshments was enjoyed.

From “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”, Sandy Callison read, “In Christ Your Life Bears Lasting Fruit”.

Diane Wilson shared a reading, “Love” for Valentine’s Day. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer, study of a preview to Romans Chapter 5 and then in study of Romans 5: 1-19.

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.

On February 8 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., Movie and Piazza Night on Feb. 21 at 6 p. m., and Ladies Tea April 25 at 11 a. m.

This message this week was titled ‘Cleansing the Temple’ and came from John 2:13-22. Calling believing ‘saving faith’ does not make it saving faith. Scripturally saving faith has three elements: intellectual agreement to, spiritual possession of, and personal commitment.

The Jewish in this Scripture comes way short of these elements and did not know it.

Jesus went to Jerusalem to attend Passover because God’s Word says to. In Deuteronomy 16 God gives requirements for attending His Feasts. The obedient life of Jesus shows the passion Jesus had for God’s Word.

Passover was a time of national unity in God and finding cleansing of sin and gaining peace with God. Jesus went to the Temple and found businesses set up in the Gentile Court.

The Gentile Court was to be for Jews to talk to Gentiles about the Jewish faith; a place for God to convert hearts. The Jews had converted it into a money making scheme. The man who came from God to redeem mankind from sin (John 3:17) now makes a whip and drives the businesses out of this area. The one who came to lead men to salvation drove these men out because they dishonored His Father. This shows Jesus’ passion for the Father. Those coming to worship and be restored to the Father had to jump through man-made hoops to try and get to God. The darkness of man was coming from the Temple where light was to be shining.

The zeal of Jesus and His knowledge of God were correct and in line with the actions of His life. The Jewish community had zeal also but had lost their knowledge of God’s truths so their actions could not be proper. The disciples remembered Scripture about zeal (V.17). This shows that God requires zeal, knowledge, and actions all reflect one another. The Jews wanted to find favor in God but no longer desired to follow God’s Word. They now wanted God to listen to them.

The sign Jesus would give the Jews was His passion of His resurrection. Jesus knew He had won the spiritual war before man was ever created but His resurrection would prove that to mankind. Jesus stood and engaged in a spiritual battle between darkness and light. These battles still go on today. Jesus would hang on a tree to win the spiritual war for mankind. How far will you go to shine light into the darkness of man? Here Jesus taught to keep the Temple (self) clean of darkness, to have true zeal for God, and shine your light no matter the cost.

Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon was titled “When You Get It and They Don’t” with scripture text taken from Acts 17:1-11. Paul and Silas were sent to Thessalonica to preach the truth to the people which set all free. The three points from the sermon were 1) Someone had to tell you the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord 2) Some were persuaded to follow Christ 3) The “don’t” people -- did not listen. We serve a God who forgives and is not a counterfeit in our lives. Your mission everyday of the week is to share the truth. This is the job you take on when you become saved. How many people will you tell?

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Wayne Conley, David Kendrick, Charlie Horstmeier, Charlie Thomas, Dan Sharp and Don Wilkerson.

Many prayers and concerns were lifted for friends and family members. Sympathy was expressed for the Chris Lanham and Sue Henry families. Praises were also shared with the congregation. Thank you notes were read from Cory Pollock, Dennis and Brenda Dickerson and the family of Alyssa Hellensmith. Jo Reynolds is on the Paris Senior Citizens board and expressed the appreciation of memorials given in memory of Evert Kendrick to help the center.

The Paris Baptist Church will be hosting a Valentine dinner Saturday, Feb. 14, at 6 p.m., with a freewill donation. Reservations can be made by calling Regina Ensor at the church.

Susan Kendrick invited anyone interested in the MFuge trip to attend a carry in meal following church on Sunday, Feb. 22. The next day, Feb. 23, there will be an orientation for anyone interested in helping with the Food Pantry at the Faith Walk Church at 3:45.

Karen Conley announced the Blow Cancer Away annual fund raiser for March 7 at the Paris High School.

The doors will open at 5 p.m., with the freewill donation meal serving at 6 p.m. She also has raffle tickets to sell.

Sunday School is every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by church service at 10:30 a.m. Bible study is held on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m., (carry in meal at 6 p.m.). Please come and join us!

After the prelude, Gale Wilkerson gave the invocation. Following the welcome and greeting hymn, Mark Bell gave the children’s sermon. He told about making a snowman with his son after the last snow fall. Then he talked about having a snowball fight. They did “pretend” snowballs and threw them. He compared this with 1 Peter 5:8, “...Your adversary the devil is prowling around like roaring lion”. Also Ephesians 6:13-16, says, “In every situation take up the shield of faith...” John and DeDe Mitchell led children’s church.

The choir under the direction of Cheryl Gholson sang “Just A Little Talk With Jesus”. Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “United in Prayer” from Acts 1:12-14. Between Christ’s ascension and the receiving of the Holy Spirit, the disciples waited for 10 days. Jesus had told the disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait. Sometimes waiting is difficult. The disciples are named in verse 13. Verse 14 tells us they “. . were continually united in prayer along with the women.”

Today we have the Holy Spirit when we accept the Lord in our life. Often times when we pray we have to wait for God’s time to receive answers to our prayers.

We should get other people involved in our prayer life.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Wednesday, February 11, G.U.T.S. (youth group), 6:30 p.m., will be decorating for the church Valentine Banquet; 8:06 business meeting; OurFather’s Closet will not be open in February.

Saturday, February 14, Valentine banquet, Carter Hall, Reservations are necessary.

February 27 - 28, Disaster relief training will be in Macon. Contact the church for information or go to www.mobaptist.org/dr or for the DR office, disasterrelief@mobaptist.org.

A billion Valentine cards given out by students and adults

Most people think Valentine’s Day was invented

by Hallmark Cards. It wasn’t. Valentine’s Day is actually a well-documented, historical phenomenon -- its tangled roots winding their way through centuries worth of Christian liturgy, pagan tradition, myth, and an occasional beheading.

The most popular account of its origins date back to a temple priest named, not surprisingly, Valentine, a later-to-becanonized saint who was executed in 270 A.D. by Emperor Claudius II for performing illegal marriage ceremonies on the Roman battlefield. Back then, as the story goes, the militaryminded Claudius believed

connubial bliss was bad for war and made it illegal for soldiers to wed.

Imprisoned for his battlefield-betrothing ways, Valentine, a man of many talents, supposedly healed the blind daughter of his jailer while incarcerated and, the night before his execution, gave the newly sighted young lass a hand written card signed -- you guessed it -- “From Your Valentine.”

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Of course, as in most historical accounts, there is almost an infinite variety of competing legends -- some religious, some pagan, some merely the result of bad translations by poorly edu-

cated scribes. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints named Valentine -- each of whom were martyred on February 14. And to make matters even more Valetiney, the official Roman Catholic roster of saints lists no less than 12 saints named “Valentine.”

It wasn’t until the 14th century, however, that Valentine’s Day was associated with romantic love. And it was the English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, who we have to thank for that. Chaucer’s poem, Parliament of Foules, was the first ever to link the tradition of courtly love with St. Valentine’s day.

Handwritten Valentine’s Day cards were the tradition

until 1847. That’s when Esther Howland, a Mt. Holyoke graduate and budding entrepreneur, got the idea to mass produce them, ordering massive amounts of paper and lace from jolly old England, a country where no less than half the population was in the habit of giving and receiving Valentine’s Day cards.

Thirty five hundred miles away, in United States, more than 190 million Valentine’s Day cards are given each year -- and, if you count the number of cards school children give each other, that number skyrockets to one billion; with US citizens spending approximately $13.1 billion on Valentine’s Day gifts each year.

FBLA helps students prepare for careers in business

According to their National Chapter, Future Business Leaders of America-Phi Beta Lambda is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education association with a quarter million students preparing for careers in business and businessrelated fields. The association has four divisions: Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) for high school students; FBLA-Middle Level for junior high, middle, and intermediate school students; Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) for postsecondary students; and Professional Division for businesspeople, FBLA-PBL alumni, educators, and parents who support the goals of the association.

FBLA-PBL is headquartered in Reston, Virginia, and organized on local, state, and national levels.

Business teachers, advisers, and advisory councils (including school officials, businesspeople, and community representatives) guide local chapters. State advisers and committee members coordinate chapter activities for the national organization.

The FBLA concept was developed in 1937 by Dr. Hamden L. Forkner of Columbia University. The first high school chapter was chartered in Johnson City, Tennessee on February 3, 1942. In 1958, the first PBL collegiate chapter was chartered in Iowa.

The Professional Division, originally the Alumni Division, began in 1979. Joining FBLA-PBL in 1994 was the FBLA-Middle Level for students in grades 5-9.

The national board of directors is comprised of local teachers, state educators, business leaders, and the division presidents.

Membership FBLA-PBL is the largest business career student organization in the world.

The high school division has 215,000 members, while the postsecondary division reaches over 11,000 college students.

The newest group, FBLAMiddle Level, is showing remarkable growth with over 20,000 student members. Finally, the Professional Division has reached over 3,000 members. Over 11,000 advisers round out the group. Exclusive membership and career recognition programs are designed for each division to provide additional personal and chapter development opportunities.

Historical Society to host Game & Card Night The Monroe County Historical Society is doing it again. The Society will host another Game and Card Night, on Friday, Feb. 13, in the Paris Library Roegge Room.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and plays begins at 6:30 p.m. $5 admission includes refreshments.
