LUNCH PROGRAM HAS SUCCESSFUL SUMMER

Once again the community lunch program has just finished a successful summer, supported by the generosity of local individuals, churches, and businesses, as well as local and state non-governmental relief agencies. This local effort provides sack lunches for families who need a little extra help during the time that school lunches are not available for their children.

The program served a total of 50 children, providing over 2600 meals at a cost of $2 each. In addition, donations of food and paper products supported the lunch program. This work could not happen without the many volunteers who packed lunches throughout the summer.

Donated funds remaining will be donated to Christmas Is Caring.

It Takes Effort and Understanding Part 1

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Unselfish Volunteers…

On Friday night, I watched 27 Paris Coyote young men battle in blazing heat for three hours in their 26-16 come from behind victory over Schuyler County. Early Saturday morning I watched four of these young men (Kole Berrey, Kyle Popkes, Zac Baladenski and August Hayhurst) unselfishly give of their time to volunteer at the Youth Football Jamboree. Even though they had been hit time and time again the prior evening and I know they had to have after effects of the game, these fine young men were there on the field giving of their time and effort in support of the youth football program. Also on hand was Coach Quintin Forrest and also numerous parents who had not arrived home until very late from the Schuyler County away game and were there in support of our future football program.

It is support like this in every area of our community that makes us strong. It is the strength of volunteers that takes us from a small group of workers to a small army that puts us over the top of success.

Things do not get done on their own. It takes planners and organizers. It takes the volunteering of our youth such as at the football jamboree that helps make these events successful not only for the planners but also for the participants.

In the upcoming months

will be many examples of this principle. The local area will see activities such as Homecoming and Fall-In-To Paris (Sept. 27 and Sept. 28 respectively); annual Antique Show; Quail Forever Banquet; Senior Center fundraisers; Christmas Is Caring and numerous other activities.

When you talk about volunteers it is hard not to include the various sororities and groups in the area including the Rotary Club members, the Lions Club members and the sorority members including Alpha Phi and Xi Beta Xi chapters.

Added to this volunteer rich environment are hard workers such as the Butterfly Bakery crew, Paris Area Senior Center members; and all the 4-H, FFA and FBLA volunteers. With all these riches of available volunteers it is little wonder why area events are so successful.

Are you on the volunteer list? You can always help.

Contact any club or organization member or officer to get involved. It is never too late to make a difference!

Have a great week!

MY TURN Golly Miley

Sometimes we can all just try too hard to make an impression. Whether it’s the boss coming over for dinner or on your first day on the job or even trying to change your public images, this can sometimes backfire.

The most recent and notorious example of an image change gone wrong was Miley Cyrus’s performance on the the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday.

If, like me, you missed that show on purpose, the national and even local media was all over it as was the Internet.

The act consisted of Miley stripping down to nude undies, tongue out like an overheated puppy and waving around a “we’re number one” like finger and pointing it at places we don’t scratch in public. And then she made an attempt at what is called “twerking”.

Which to me looked very much like what I saw a lioness in heat once to

attract mates on a wildlife show. My young generation sources could not define twerking but were aware of Miss Cyrus’s previous tries to twerk but thought that she was “too shining” and not really cut out for twerking, whatever it is.

Parents who saw the show were upset and most, Hannah Montana fans were at least confused. But this is not the first time that young stars, even Disney kids, tried to shock us into realizing their new, grown up sexy persona. Miley Cyrus is 20 years old, a multi millionaire and young enough to be forgiven for making a bad decision. She fits very well the description in a very old saying, “that she is more to be pitied than scorned”. I hope she rethinks her direction and attitude. It is awed to the young Hanna Montana fans and especially to her even family and friends.

When we are single we dream about having a person to share everything with like our dreams, our future and even the details of our day at work.

We think about how wonderful it will be when we have a partner to give and get hugs and kisses, to hold hands or to cuddle on the couch together.

We yearn for a companion to be with us through thick and thin and to help alleviate some of the loneliness we might feel at times.

We see other couples out on dates together or taking walks with one another and we long for the day when we will

The excitement we felt knowing we would have someone to take long walks or go on romantic dates with now sometimes feels like another thing on the to-do list. We know we need to spend some alone time together but we allow the busyness of life to get in the way. We do not make it a priority.

I am not saying all this to make singles want to stay single. I love being married and each year it gets better. I do, however, want both single people and us married folk to realize marriage takes work and understanding.

Life happens whether we are single or married. It doesn’t stop when we get hitched. We are going to have things come up in life that alter things but as long as we understand that and commit to putting forth the effort we can endure and even enjoy the ride along the way.

are all talked out. We definitely don’t have the time or the energy to dream together about our future or to discuss any goals. We get so use to having each other around that we start to take each other for granted. That desire to have someone to share our whole life with has turned into more of given than a desire.

Those hugs and kisses we dreamed about are now few and far between.

We may have done this at the beginning of our marriage but year after year we find ourselves giving less and getting less of these once desired affections. Holding hands-what is that? Now we have too many other things occupying our hands like our children, the groceries, our cell phones. Cuddling on the couch together has now turned into one of us dozing off on the couch while the other one sits in the chair.

Monroe Manor’s Josh Miller is Summer reading at the Library MHCA District VI 2013 EOTY

By Denny Hollingsworth

A Monroe Manor Nursing Home employee has been named Missouri Health Care Association [MHCA] District VI 2013 Employee of the Year [EOTY].

Josh Miller was introduced at the MHCA annual convention in Branson at a noon luncheon, Wednesday, Aug. 28, as only one of six health care employees across the state to be a nursing home employee honored with an EOTY award. He was presented with a certificate proclaiming him as the EOTY for District VI. The northeast Missouri district encompasses 21 nursing homes in 17 counties.

Mr. Miller, 23, of Paris, started working at Monroe Manor in Nov. 2008 as a dishwasher in the dietary department. He was advanced to a cooking position in 2010 and earlier this year was named assistant dietary manager.

Monroe Manor Administrator Shari Embree, who nominated Mr. Miller, said she did so for many reasons.

“Josh is a role model for his generation and a credit to the nursing home industry,” Mrs. Embree stated. “Despite his young age, he is already a seasoned professional. When assigned a task or responsibility, he never says, “No, I can’t do that,”› or, ‹“No, I don’t want to do that” He goes out of his way to help anyone that needs assistance, regardless of department or position. He has a genuine smile and friendly demeanor; his personable, easy-going attitude is infectious among staff and residents. He is well known to residents’› families and

MEXICO CINEMA

appreciated by them.”

In the nomination form Mrs. Embee wrote about Miller, “Josh knows every resident by name and is familiar with everyone›s individual dietary requirement. He knows what every person in the building likes and more importantly dislikes regarding foods.

His customer service skills are unmatched. Despite being busy in the kitchen, he never fails to stop what he’s doing and accommodate a resident when one comes to the dietary door asking for fruit, vegetables, a glass of tea. He goes out of his way to make Monroe Manor more home-like for residents and families and truly cares for people.”

Mrs. Embree said Mr. Miller is the second Manor employee in the last four years to be named MHCA District VI EOTY. Sherrie Coose received the award in 2010.

“Two Manor employees receiving recognition of this magnitude in such a short period of time is not a coincidence,” Mrs. Embree said. “We require and demand a lot from our employees, and as a group they never fail to meet expectations. I think our staff is one of the best in the state.”

Miller said he was honored and humbled for the recognition.

“I’m very appreciative of this award,” he said. “I look forward to coming to work, helping our residents and working with a great staff. I’m very appreciative for Shari Embree’s nomination.”

The MCHA award wasn’t the only thing Josh received in Branson; he also became a fiancé when he got a engaged to longtime girlfriend Alayciah Hardin.

“I’ve been thinking about asking her for a couple months,” Miller said, “and this seemed to be a good time to do it.”

Josh enlisted the help of Ms. Embree and other Manor employees that were attending the convention.

When he and Alayciah arrived at their motel room the Manor employees, at Josh’s direction, had strewn rose petals and taped a sign to the mirror that read: “You said I am your life, will you be my wife?”

Alayciah said Josh produced a ring and despite being shocked and speechless, she readily accepted.

It might be a year or more before the couple formalize their vows. Alayciah, a Monroe Manor Certified Nurses Assistant, wants to begin Licensed Practical Nurse training at Moberly Area Community College and Josh is planning to get into a certified dietary manager program via correspondence with Florida State University.

The Manor is Josh Miller’s first and only fulltime employment since graduating from Paris High School in 2008. As a student, he worked part time at the Southern Belle Tavern.

He is the son of Jerry and Pennie Miller, of Paris, and his grandmother, Doris Miller, is a Manor resident.

Teachers were asked to supply the organizations with a wish list to be used to shop for the supplies.

The two organizations gave a total of $350.00 for this project.

Take MDC Hunter Education class early to avoid the rush!

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to hunt and the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) promotes safe, knowledgeable, ethical and responsible hunting through its Hunter Education program and training.

“Since autumn brings a new round of hunting seasons, the Hunter Education classes fill up quickly,” said MDC Outdoors Skills Specialist and Hunter-Ed instructor Brian Flowers.

“New hunters who need to be Hunter-Ed certified should take the course early to avoid the fall rush.”

Hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1967, and who are 16 or older, must successfully complete an approved Hunter Education course to qualify to buy firearms hunting permits.

MDC recently revised the Hunter-Ed course for student convenience and to emphasize hands-on training. The new, more flexible program is divided into two parts.

Students can take the first part as an online course, or with a printed manual, or by signing up for a four-hour classroom session. The second part is a mandatory, four-hour, hands-on skills session and a 35-question multiple-choice exam.

Students completing the course receive a temporary certificate so they can immediately start hunting while their Hunter Education Certification card is being processed.

For more information on Hunter Education visit www.mdc.mo.gov/ node/3095 or contact your local MDC office.

Youths six through 15 may hunt without Hunter Education certification when accompanied by a qualified adult mentor.

Mentors are required to be Hunter-Education certified, unless exempt by age. MDC recommends that youth begin hunt-

ing with an adult mentor to become familiar with hunting and terminology before taking the course.

Hunters who have completed an approved Hunter-Education course in another state are not required to take Missouri’s Hunter Education course.

MDC also offers an Apprentice Hunter Authorization to let people 16 years of age and older try hunting without requiring certification as long as they hunt with an adult mentor who certified in Hunter Education, unless exempt by age.

MDC began providing Hunter Education in 1957 and has trained more than 1.1 million students. Since hunter education became mandatory in 1987, there has been a reduction of hunting incidents by more than 70 percent. Missouri is among the top five states in annual hunter education graduate numbers.

Mark Twain United Way holds official Kick-Off

The United Way of the Mark Twain officially kicked off Campaign 2013 on Thursday with a delightful debut of Hannibal’s Common Ground Community Garden, healthy light refreshments, music provided

by Campaign Chairman Mike McFarlane and his son Murray, and planting of wildflowers to symbolize the theme of the campaign which is “Grow a Better A Tomorrow… the United Way.” The annual fall drive will raise $577,000 for over thirty-five human service programs in Northeast Missouri including Marion, Ralls, Monroe, Shelby and Lewis Counties. Programs serve youth, seniors, disabled adults, emergency services as well as health and education programs.

Additionally the United Way creates community impact through collaborative efforts such as the Leader in Me program in the Hannibal Public Schools; Parents as Teachers; Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA); and a new diversity initiative that is being formed.

Chairman Mike McFarlane (BASF Plant Manager) introduced his assistant and next years Campaign Chairman Gary Broughton (Century 21 Broughton Team). Together they will lead the campaign and share their passion for helping build

strong communities and strong families. McFarlane urged those present to spread the seeds as they spread the word of the good work that United Way and the funded agencies do every day. No gift is too small and no problem is too large when we work together.

Special Events highlight the campaign season. The Day of Caring will take place Sept.

26 with a breakfast at Hannibal LaGrange University followed by volunteer projects in United Way funded programs.

The YMCA will host a Family Carnival on Sept,

27. The 8th Annual Taste of Missouri will take place on Oct. 3 at the Quality Inn & Suites. Visit the homemade cookie booth at the Autumn Historic Folklife Festival, Oct. 19 & 20. The final event will be the KHMO /United Way Radio Auction in early November with the date soon to be announced.

The United Way of the Mark Twain Area and its funded agencies greatly appreciate the support of all our friends and neighbors in Northeast Missouri. Together, we will “Grow a Better Tomorrow…the United Way”

Volunteers Needed on Twain Site Volunteers are needed each Saturday in September to help “dig” on Mark Twain’s Uncle John Quarles’ site. This is the seventh year of excavating. The large dog-trot log house has been excavated and part of it has been rebuilt. This September the “dig” will focus on completing the kitchen ell adjoining the big house and the smokehouse directly northwest of the main house. Future plans are to rebuild the former structures on their “footprints” completing a small complex--a step toward setting up a living history farm in this area, and in fact providing the “Missing Link” of the Mark Twain sites.

If you have ever wanted to work on an archaeological site this is a rare opportunity. The “dig” is being held in conjunction with the Missouri Archaeological Society’s archaeology month. Children can even take part in this experience if they are ten or older. They must be

accompanied by an adult (one child-one adult, two children-two adults. Volunteers need to meet each Saturday morning at 8 a.m., at the red and white building on the west side of Highway 107, about two miles south of highway 24, (north of Grandma›s Country Music). Volunteers should bring water, lunch, snacks, a hat and gloves. Tools will be provided. The dig closes at 4 p.m. each day.

On the last Saturday, Sept. 28, an open house will be held at the site from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Artifacts from the site will be on display at that time and visitors can view the reconstruction efforts and the archaeology dig in the process. Also a book about the site called “E-M P-F: Archaeology Without A Shovel,” which contains a major write-up about the Quarles’ site will be on display. The site is located up a long lane, accessible by car or by 4-wheel drive if very wet. 573-735-2784

Flood Cleanup Tips

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

As with many major purchases, there can be hidden costs when buying a home. But these buried expenses don’t stop once the papers are signed and you have the keys. You also need to think about how much it’s actually going to cost to live in your new home; mortgage payments are only one part of your expenses.

You also need to budget for taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, yard work, repairs, and other costs. Be realistic when calculating for these expenses, they can really add up.

Fixed Costs -Utilities. Consider gas, electricity, water and sewer, trash pickup, phone, Internet, and cable. The cost for an entire house can be significantly higher if you’re moving from a smaller place. While it’s hard to estimate the cost of utilities, you may want to request the present homeowner’s utility bills for the past 12 months to get an accurate picture of energy costs throughout the year. Also, keep costs down by making your home more energy efficient.

-Property taxes. Property taxes are based on the value of your home, so the more expensive your house is, the more you’ll have to pay. Although taxes vary widely across the country, you can use a property tax estimator to get a rough idea of what to budget.

- Insurance. Insurance premiums vary depending on where you live and a variety of other factors, including the size, type, and age of your house. It’s up to you to choose the coverages and limits that meet your needs, but it’s best to insure your home for at least 100 percent of its estimated replacement cost (the cost of repairing or replacing your home to restore its original condition).

- Homeowner fees. Many townhouses or condos have homeowner association (HOA) fees. Some of the costs covered can include exterior and interior maintenance, landscaping, water, sewer, garbage, parking lots and courtyard sidewalks, and lawn care. One-time special assessments may also be levied to pay for emergency repairs or extensive improvements.

Variable Costs -House repair and maintenance. This can include anything from minor touch-ups to major repairs. Cleaning and repairing of gutters and chimneys, interior and exterior painting, roof repair, fixing electrical systems and plumbing, and pest control are a few of the tasks to consider. While expert opinion varies, estimate spending between one to four percent of your home’s value annually on maintenance and repairs. You should budget for items like water heaters, which on average last only 8-12 years. When they fail, they can cause major water damage. They need to be replaced before a catastrophic water loss occurs. For a $200,000 home, you may want to budget $2,000–$4,000 a year. If you need to hire someone to do the work for you, be aware of possible home repair scams.

- Yard care. Mowing, edging, seeding, trimming, fertilizing, watering, weeding, planting flowers and shrubs, resodding, and removing snow can all add up whether you do it yourself or hire a professional.

-Appliances. Chances are most major appliances will come with the house, but this is not always the case. You may have to provide (or replace) the refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, or washer and dryer.

-Remodeling. Redoing floors, opening up rooms, renovating kitchens and bathrooms, or adding square footage can improve the quality and value of your home, but the costs can add up quickly. You may want to prioritize the most important updates and budget for them over several years. Be sure you select a reputable home contractor to help you.

Make sure you select a reputable home contractor to help you. Owning a home can be a great investment personally and financially, so don’t let all of these hidden costs get you down. Now that you know some of things to look out for, you can be realistic about the time and money it takes to own and maintain a home.

CHURCH NEWS

On Labor weekend Sunday, Sept. 1, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church was welcomed by Reverend David Holmes following the prelude by pianist, Sally Blakemore. The joy of having Deloris Thrasher able to attend church as her recovery from heart surgery continues was shared.

The annual church fish fry will be held on Wednesday evening, Sept. 11, with the meal beginning at 6 p.m.; the monthly congregational meeting will follow.

Larry Alan Thomas will be the guest minister at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, Sept. 15. The youth of Madison Methodist Church will hold a spaghetti dinner on Sunday, Sept. 22; serving begins at 11 a.m.

The quarterly hymn sing will be held at Madison Christian Church on Sept. 29.

Happy birthday wishes were for Connie Thrasher.

The opening hymn, “Oh, How I Love Jesus”, was sung; pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri” followed. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Beverly Wandrey, Lysa Holmes, Fred Blades, David and Tammy Menefee, Nelson Hewgley, Dorothy Swindell and Louise Hollingsworth. Sympathy was extended to the family of Nancy Wheaton. Reverend Holmes shared a humorous story from one of his flights during the Pershing Balloon Derby.

“I Need Thee Every Hour” was the prayer hymn; singing was followed by moments of meditation as the final verse was played. Prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed.

As elders, Sandy Callison and Diane Wilson, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table, the communion hymn, “Bread of Heaven”, was sung. Diaconate were: Jane Akers and Berna Kotsenburg. Following sharing of communion and collection of offerings, an offertory prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

“There is a Seat at the Table for Everyone” was the message which referenced scripture from Luke 14:7-11 and Hebrews 13:1-8 and 15-16. “Love Lifted Me” was the hymn of invitation and dedication. Pastoral prayer and the “Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship, Phil Blakemore read “He’s Still Celebrating”. From “365 Things that God Wants Us to Know”, the weekly reading was entitled “God Custom Designed You”. Jim McMorris opened Bible Study with prayer and led the group in continuing study from the book, “Sparkling Gems”.

All are welcome to attend services each Sunday at the church with worship beginning at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m.

ul Pa r i s F

l Fellowship e p s l Go

You’ve noticed a friend at first glance, and quickly realized that they were happy... or sad... you saw it in their face in just a heartbeat. You can’t really say what it was that you saw, you just discerned their mood. We inherently learn to read the body language of others.

We learn to interpret vocal inflections. Most of us, in time, become adept at analyzing the attitudes and attributes of others. Have you ever wondered why our faces display expression? What practical purpose does it serve: is it curative?

I submit to you that God gives us both the physical inflections, and the ability to evaluate those inflections.

Mark 28 tells us, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

God created us so that we might have a vertical relationship with him, and a horizontal relationship with one another. He gave us the ability to understand the needs of another so that we might do our part in fulfilling those needs: it’s a pretty simple concept, once you think about it.

GREAT CENTRAL LUMBER CO. Do It Best

On Sunday, Sept. 1, 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: Sept.7 is men’s breakfasts at 8:30 a.m., and all men in the community are welcome. Sept. 15 will be a dinner at 5:30 p.m., for the 145-year celebration for Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Sept. 20-21 there will be a fundraiser at Camp Cedar Crest and Mt. Airy will provide the meat for the BBQ and the Mountain Airs will play at 10 a.m. on Sept. 21.

This week’s message was entitled ‘Choose Life over Death’ and came from 1 John 3:11-24. God’s message to His children is to love Him and love one another in the same manner He loves us. This message is not just to be heard but lived. Living the love of God is to be the guiding factor in how Christians live their life. God’s message is not a request but a commandment.

John gives four relationships that man can live with one another. The first is murder. This is the lowest level and is where Satan exists. If God’s message is love then surely Satan’s message is murder.

The second relationship is hatred. In Mt. 5:22 Jesus says hatred is the same as murder for Christians. The only difference is that murder is hatred in action. Hatred is a matter of the intent of the heart and Jesus says intent is equal to action by His judgment. The antidote for the poison of hatred is the love of God. The third relationship is that of indifference. Isa. 1:16-17 says we must ‘cease to do evil and learn to do good’. It is not enough not to harm one another but we must also do good for one another. In Luke 10 Jesus changes the question of ‘who is my neighbor’ to ‘who can I be a neighbor to?’ Being indifferent to other’s needs robs us of God’s love in our own hearts. Loving is a matter of life and death.

The fourth relationship is that of Christian love. This love is shown by actually meeting another’s needs with a sincere heart. This will cost us much in our life. Jesus gave His life for each of us; can you give some of your material goods, time, effort, and talent to help another?

John gives three blessings the children of God will receive if they walk in the love of God as intended. The first is a heart that does not condemn. This allows peace to reign in your heart. The second is answered prayer.

Obedience in loving as God commands us gives confidence to ask in ways we never could otherwise. The third blessing is abiding in Christ. Your salvation came at one moment in your life. Abiding in Christ is a moment by moment responsibility. Walking in God’s love will go a long way in proving this abiding. The Holy Spirit inside you will guide you how to love like God if you listen to Him. ‘Walk in the Spirit and you will not satisfy the desires of your flesh’ Galatians 5:16.

Pastor Kenny’s message today was titled, “Glory to Glory.” Scripture was taken from 2 Corinthians 3: 7-18.

The spirit of the Lord is the one who frees us, and takes us where we need to go. The steps are love, mercy, forgiveness, repentance and spiritual knowledge. In order to move forward, we must know the true love of Jesus and be givers and receivers of forgiveness. Trust in God in your faith, without works faith is dead.

Prayers for Lindel Wilson, Taylor family, Keith Woodhurst, Tracy Huffman’s family, Ivan Farnsworth, Dallas Baker, Zachary Baker, Rodney Schutte, , Louise Hurley, Bonnie Sudsberry, Beverly Wandrey, Larry DeOrnellis, Richard DeOrnellis, Jim Gooch, Bill Sadler and family, Zane Vaughn, family of Nancy Wheaton, Helen Sharp, family of Dr. Barjenbruch, Stephanie Kennedy and baby, situation in Middle East, marriages, school children and staff.

Keith Woodhurst doing better with feedings. Paris Coyotes won their first game this past Friday night with no injuries. Had a good turnout for the back to school celebration with area youth and others from Bowling Green area.

Fish fry and auction for Haiti mission trip to take place on Sept. 21, at Hams Prairie Christian Church in Fulton. 175th anniversary celebration on Sept. 15, Sunday school and worship service followed by a meal and other activities. Salt Saturday will be Sept. 21, this month from 9-1. Hymn sing on Sept.

29, in Madison, Shiloh open house Sept. 28. Oct. 14, will hold a women’s salad supper.

Bible study is every Wednesday night, carry in meal at 6 p.m., and study at 6:30 p.m., including two youth classes, kindergarten through 5th grade and 6th through 12th grade. Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., and worship service at 10:30 a.m.

Steve Ensor gave the call to Worship – God is Amazing. Later in the service he sang “I Will Never Be The Same Again” for the Personal Worship Moment. Billie Jo Hatton presented a solo, “Lord, I Need You”. She read Psalm 63:1, “Oh God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you, my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.”

Mark Bell gave the children’s sermon. He showed them a dart board and some paper arrows. He explained the purpose was to hit the goal or the target.

They threw the arrows at the target. Mark also explained to them that our goal should be to please God and this should be our target in life.

Rev. Wesley Hammond’s sermon was “Ask in Faith” from James 1:5-8. Verse 5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him”. One who doubts is indecisive and loses the way. Wisdom is knowledge put into action and knowing what is the right thing in God’s eyes. God generously gives and does not criticize. If we doubt we are “like a wave in the sea blown and tossed by the wind” and lack stability.

25th annual deer hunt for disabled hunters set for Nov. 23-24.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has scheduled the 25th annual deer hunt for disabled people for Nov. 23-24.

Shelly Howald, the park ranger for Mark Twain Lake, invites hunters with disabilities each year to enjoy the deer season at Indian Creek Recreation Area.

When she began the event, it was the only one of its kind in Missouri.

Howald said hunters have traveled from as far as Texas, Ohio and even Puerto Rico for a weekend of hunting and camaraderie.

“It isn’t the kill that they’re there for,” Howald said. “You’re putting a special population together of people that like outdoors.”

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers partners with Whitetails Unlimited and the Lions Club for the event. Howald said more

than 70 people volunteer their time and resources to make this a safe and fun event for everyone involved. The volunteers bring ATVs and trailers, and they help participants with meals and processing and cleaning of deer.

“It’s like fishing here in a wheelchair. It’s tough to do,” Howald said. “They need a little bit of assistance, and that’s where our volunteers have helped us.”

Howald has restricted the hunt to 35 permanently disabled individuals with a valid 2013 Missouri firearms deer tag and a hunter safety certification card. All hunters must comply with the 2013 Missouri Department of Conservation hunting regulations, and hunters must hunt from and stay in the blinds while in the field.

Participants must have completed hunter education, and they may only

use a 20-gauge or larger slug shotguns, muzzle loader or bow and arrow during the hunt.

Hunters have until Sept. 16 to submit applications to qualify for the hunt. Howald will hold a drawing on Sept. 20 at 8 a.m. at the Mark Twain Lake Project Office to select participants.

For further information or to obtain applications, contact the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at 573-735-4097.

•• DID YOU KNOW? •• Obamacare and the IRS..

Obamcare includes 47 major changes to the revenue code. According to the IRS Inspector General these 47 changes “represent the largest set of tax law changes the IRS has had to implement in more than 20 years.

The IRS will also be responsible for enforcing the “personal responsibility requirement” or, the individual mandate. To do that, it must figure out who has insurance, and then, under certain circumstances, impose a tax penalty on people who do not.

The law prohibits the IRS from using its usual tough collection tools - getting a lien against your property or putting a claim on your wages - to collect any payment you owe related to the individual responsibility provision.

Still, the IRS may collect your “shared responsibility payment” by snatching part or all of your refund depending on what you owe. Additionally, if you fail to pay the penalty, interest will accrue, the IRS says. The interest charged is the same that is imposed for taxes that are paid late. An estimated 6 million people will pay a penalty tax because they are uninsured in 2016, according to the Congressional Budget Office and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation http://articles.philly.com/2013-08-29/news/41584785_1_health-insurancepenalty-tax-irs The most frightening aspect of Obamacare’s expansion of the IRS is the fact that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the IRS are now working together to create a massive-online database with personal information. The database is called the Federal Data Services Hub and is a central portal where individuals’ medical records, citizenship information, criminal record and all of their tax information on file with the IRS will be collected.

Personal data would be very vulnerable to third party illegal collection and usage for intimidation etc. www.teapartypatriots.com

Cows waste more hay than farmers guess. Justin Sexten, beef nutritionist, learned that by asking visitors at a University of Missouri field day.

Farmers on tour wagons guessed 10 percent loss—at most.

MU researchers found 20 percent loss of fescue hay fed in common ring feeders used on most farms.

Sexten will share hay feeding tips at a field day, Sept. 25, at the MU Forage Systems Research Center, Linneus.

Last winter researchers compared three types

of bale feeders on the beef farm at the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Columbia.

They used open ring feeder, sheeted feeder and cone feeder. Sheeted feeders cover the bottom of the ring with sheet metal.

The cone feeder suspends a bale in the center of the ring.

Waste costs farmers money. For Missouri, wasted baled hay can total $64 million a year. The U.S. loss adds up to more than $1 billion. That was for 2012, as loss depends on hay value. “That shows

The James Monroe Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Paris, Missouri met at 5:30 p.m., on Thursday, Aug.15, in the Roegge Room of the Dulany Library, in Paris for their regular meeting.

The opening rituals were read and the Star Spangled Banner was sung by the group. Those present included Treasurer Dorothy Walser, Chaplain Carol Comstock, Recording Secretary Annette Azdell, Ginger Devine, and Mary Beth Mitchell. The Treasurer’s Report was presented by Walser and approved as were minutes of the July meeting presented by Azdell.

Registrar/Corresponding Secretary Jan Smiley Carter sent a report on prospective members, member sup-

plementary and prospective member applications and other activities she had taken care of. Plans continue regarding attending the MSSDAR Northeast District meeting in Kirksville on Sept.

26. Members will be responsible for submitting their own registration forms and checks this year with the deadline being Sept. 12.

Ginger Devine, chairman of the DAR Museum committee, presented a program on the Museum, in Washington, DC. Chaplain Comstock gave the benediction and all enjoyed refreshments of orange cupcakes and banana bread muffins furnished by Carter. The next meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 19, with new yearbook supplements being distributed at the meeting.

that when hay supplies are short, waste becomes more expensive,” Sexten said.

“When cows waste hay, farmers learn the expense when they must buy feed to replace the loss,” he said. That happened when farmers ran out of hay after the drought of 2012.

Sexten told farmers he thinks the 20 percent loss was too low. The study at the MU farm was under ideal conditions. The fescue bales had been stored in a nearby shed. “There was no rot on the bottom and top of the bales. Rot would be sorted off by the cows.

“You probably can’t move a bale stored outside from along the fence to the feeder without losing five percent,” he added.

In the study, Wesley Moore, then a graduate student, picked up every sprig of hay dropped on concrete slabs around bale feeders. He dried and weighed wasted hay and subtracted that from original bale weight.

“On the open ring, he picked up 20 percent of every fescue bale,” Sexten said. “That adds up to big

bucks with 20 percent lost every day of every bale.”

The sheeted feeder lost 13.6 percent and the cone feeder lost 8.9 percent.

Cone feeders cost the most to buy. The open ring cost least. “Don’t look at just initial cost. Look at long-term cost of waste,” Sexten said. Also, other feeders made of heavier steel might last longer.

Sexten agreed with a farmer who said he preferred to unroll bales for feeding. “That’s efficient, but adds waste if you unroll more hay than cows eat in a day. It might work if you feed one bale to 40 cows, but if you unroll a whole bale for 20 cows, about half will be lost,” he said.

“Oh, I hear you saying ‘I like to leave some for the cows to lie down on,’” he added. “But do you want to pay $40 a bale for bedding?”

MU research centers are part of the Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. They hold field days to share local research that might apply across the state. The events are free.

Review grain bin safety rules before harvest University of Missouri Extension rural safety and health specialist Karen Funkenbusch said now is a good time to review safety precautions for grain bins with farm workers and family members.

Grain bin entrapments are sad reminders that grain storage can be deadly. It takes only five seconds for a person to be caught in flowing grain, and less than 20 seconds to be sucked into the center of the grain, which acts much like quicksand, Funkenbusch said. A child can be buried in far less time.

Grain’s weight and other properties make it difficult to get out of a bin without assistance, she said. Grain resists the force a rescuer uses to remove the victim. It takes more than 325 pounds of force to raise a 165-pound mannequin covered in corn, she said.

Farmers who have worked around grain bins all of their lives might think this won’t happen to them. But the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports that at least 26 U.S. workers were killed in grain engulfments in 2010, the highest on record. Since then, OSHA has inspected numerous bins and is committed to changing the “it won’t happen to me” mindset, Funkenbusch said.

All augers and grainmoving equipment should be turned off before anyone enters a bin. Farmers and their employees should never “walk down” grain from the bin’s sides to make it flow, or walk on crusted or bridged grain, which can collapse under a person’s weight. If there is crusted or bridged

grain, workers should use a tool to probe the surface from outside the bin.

Funkenbusch advises grain producers to design and install reclaim systems that allow access to the grain without having to enter the bins.

She also recommends larger service tunnels, at least seven feet high and with good lighting and drainage. Install larger outside access doors, not a simple 24-inch round opening in the side of the bin. Larger access doors should be at least three feet by three feet, with a platform and handrails installed.

Moist grain can form toxic gases and fumes.

Bins should be checked for these gases before entering.

Farm families should discuss safety measures with all members, and children should never be near a grain bin. Sadly, many grain bin accidents involve multiple fatalities because of failed rescue attempts.

Grain handlers, bin manufacturers, safety experts and others have formed a national Grain Entrapment Prevention Initiative, which emphasizes six points in bin safety: 1. Develop a “zero entry” mentality. Stay out of the bin.

2. If you must enter, do not go alone.

3. Provide hands-on training for the entrant and observer.

4. Follow an entry permit.

5. Shut down and lockout.

6. Use a secure body harness lifeline.

in tackling as he was all over the field dragging down runners and grabbed an interception. Kole Berrey had five solo tackles (tied with Stone) and had two sacks including a late fourth quarter sack, besting two blockers, that ruined a Ram drive forcing them to kick to the Coyotes.

Brendon Hancock added an interception and a forced fumble while Tucker Gruber, and Brody Lehenbauer each pounced on a loose ball for a fumble recovery.

The Coyotes fell behind early when Schuyler County posed two touchdowns and a safety in the first quarter. However, with 9:43 left in the second quarter quarterback Kyle Popkes hit Zac Baladenski on a 33 yard TD reception. Popkes hit Baladenski with a short pass and Baladenski raced through the porous defense for the first Coyote score. Laine Forrest added the extra point and Paris trailed 16-7.

With a minute and change left till halftime, Popkes calmly dropped into the well-protected pocket and lofted an 11-yard scoring strike to Slater Stone. The kick was blocked and the Coyotes trailed by only a field goal - 16-13 at the half.

The third quarter was a back and forth affair until Coyote Quarterback Popkes airmailed a 39-yard pass to a streaking Stone for another score and after the Forrest extra point divided the uprights, Paris led 20-16.

The fourth quarter was all Paris both offensively and defensively as the Coyotes dominated both sides of the ball and halfway through the quarter Popkes hit an 11 yard lob to a leaping Forrest who took

the ball away from two defenders for the final Coyote score. The kick failed and with half the fourth quarter left Paris extended their lead to 26-16.

In the final period, defensive plays

by Brody Lehenbauer and Kole Berrey stalled Ram drives while timely tackles by Shelby Powell, Austin Coffman, Tucker Gruber, and Dylan Langerud kept the Ram offense off balance.
