VOLUME 145, NO. 37

State of Emergency declared in July for drought conditions extended Missouri Governor Jay Nixon recently extended for 45 days, until Nov. 15, the state of emergency for Missouri he declared in July because of the heat, fire risk and prolonged drought impacting the state.

The Governor also extended the deadline to help Missouri livestock producers and farmers complete water projects approved under the drought relief program he established on July 23.

Governor Nixon noted that rural electric co-ops have been a vital partner in providing necessary and expedited electrical connections to service the water projects.

Since late July, more than 5,800 projects have been approved under the emergency cost-share program to drill new wells, deepen existing wells or undertake other projects to get water to animals and crops.

As of today, more than 4,400 projects have been completed; are under construction; or have been scheduled for construction.

“Despite the rain we’ve seen over the past two weeks, Missouri’s agricultural community still has a pressing need for water, especially for livestock,” Gov. Nixon said. “These projects are making a real difference for Missouri agriculture, and we want the projects that have been approved to be completed as soon as possible. By extending the state of emergency

for 45 additional days and allowing these projects to continue to move forward, we will ensure that Missouri producers and farmers get the access to water they need so critically.”

Under the Executive Order signed by Governor Nixon, “In order to be eligible for this extension, a landowner with an approved project must diligently endeavor to engage the services of contractors and/or suppliers necessary to complete the project by the earliest possible date.”

Governor Nixon said the same strict criteria used in evaluating farmers’ eligibility for project approval would be used for eligibility of the extension. To ensure accountability to taxpayers, the Governor has created a program audit and compliance team, working under the direction of the State Budget Director.

More than 11,000 applications were submitted to the state in just a two-week period, of which more than 5,800 were approved. The Governor praised the work of all involved in implementing the projects, including the rural electric cooperatives, such as New-Mac, which has helped provide electrical hook-ups for new wells and other projects.

“The success we’ve seen in completing the high number of water projects has been

possible only because of a team effort that has included the RECs,” Gov. Nixon said.

“As we’ve seen time and again when natural disasters have struck, the RECs have risen to the occasion to help their fellow Missourians.”

Under Executive Order 12-08, signed on July 23, Gov. Nixon established an emergency program to provide urgent relief for farmers and producers facing critical shortages of water. To be eligible for the program, projects had to provide immediate and material relief for the farmer or producer. The same day, he signed a separate executive order declaring a State of Emergency in Missouri because of the drought.

Because of the emergency nature of the program, project applications were due by 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 6. Officials from the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources supported local soil and water districts in reviewing the applications to determine eligibility for funding.

The program covers 90 percent of the cost of the emergency water project, such as digging or deepening a well or connecting a farm to a rural water supply. The producer or farmer pays the remaining 10 Continued to page 9

Time To Borrow a Book...

Paris Librarian Sue Mattingly helps patrons check out books and other library items such as DVDs magazines, books on tape or CD, etc. The library has a teen area, a computer room and other amenities including a free room in the basement that is available free to clubs and organizations.

Paris Library lends more than just books to patrons Paris Librarian Sue Mattingly was the guest of Ron Greeson, at the Paris Rotary Club, on Thursday, Sept. 6.

Mattingly explained that the William and Susan “Delaney” Library, Paris, was dedicated June 19, 1915. It was created by an endowment from the Delaney’s children who donated the money is memory of their parents.

Currently the library has 27,210 items to loan to its patrons.

“I am passionate about the library,” said Mattingly. “I get to work in a beautiful building everyday.”

Mattingly explained that the Paris Library joined the Little Dixie Library group in 1967. The group has branches in Paris, Madison, Moberly and Huntsville.

She went on to explain that the library hosts a teen room (with Playstaion), has seven computers for patron use and it offers Internet wireless service. Besides its books the library subscribes to five newspapers – The Moberly Monitor Index, The Monroe County Appeal, The Lake Gazette, The Mexico Ledger and the St. Louis Post Dispatch. It offers books on tape (CD), magazines, DVDs and it also offers a Wednesday story hour and a summer reading program.

“Patty Sexton also delivers books to Monroe Manor, Miller resident Care, and the Senior Center,” said Mattingly.

“We also have the Monroe County Appeal on microfiche from 1874-2009,” added Mattingly.

Mattingly noted that to her knowledge the library has only had four librarians in its history – Mayme Craig, the first librarian; Helen McKamey; Eleanor Roegge; and herself.

The library is funded through tax monies from Monroe County residents and through grants and donations.

The board has a five-member board that helps with administration. The board members include Linden Vanlandingham, Sally Blakemore, Mary Jane Havens, Peggy Peck and Jan Sears.

“In 1917 we had 1,500 items in the library and today we have 27,210,” said a proud Mattingly.

Mattingly explained that a plus of the library is the free meeting room, the Roegge Room, named for a former librarian, in the basement that can be used, free of charge, by any group or organization.

The library is hoping to start a Friends of the Library group funded through a book sale.

“People should come to the library to get books to read and to fellowship, said Mattingly.

Mattingly explained that it is possible to loan books from other libraries if the four Little Dixie branches do not have a certain book.

“We have an inter-loan program,” said Mattingly. “We can get any book you want from another library.”

She also explained that in September the Continued to page 9

APPEAL

Opinions and the News

Well it finally happened. With all the name calling of the current election cycle, a well known political writer, Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post, has called out MSNBC for being biased in favor of Democrats and the Democratic Party.

Ms. Parker’s evidence from Charlotte where the Democratic convention was held was that MSNBC set up a display where visitors could see their favorite MSNBC anchors and visit a studio, cafe or lounge at the site. At the same time she acknowledges the not necessarily solicited celebrity of the headliners at MSNBC, not unlike the regular network visitors to our family rooms each night that we all get to know and become used to for their information and reports.

Her real gripe in the so called blending of opinion and news or journalism, the television personality inflicting his or her political opinions on all of us under the guise of reporting the news or events.

Her solution is that MSNBC and Fox, for that matter, should admit their partiality, drop any pretense of being objective and play to their adherents and hope for converts.

Ms. Parker covers her personal exemption from this proposed transparency by pointing out that she is an opinion columnist, is supposed to have biased opinions and all readers should understand that because she appears on opinion pages in the papers.

So her pro conservative and pro anything Catholic views are not like those progressive pro Democrat liberal devils at MSNBC. Ms. Parker slights those of us who read newspapers and watch television, who can make real time decisions between factual reporting and opinion in both media and read her columns and watch Fox and MSNBC for amusement and not for content. Please spare us the holier than thou sermon Kathleen even if we know in advance it is only your opinion. Thanks!

Just Ask Dave...

by David Eales Publisher/Editor

appeal@parismo.net Changes! - As Bob Dylan sang, “The times they are a changing.”

Change is defined by Westers as - to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.

Change is not always bad and not always good.

At the Monroe County Appeal change is coming.

Not bad changes we think, but changes none the less.

Due to the rising cost of ink and paper for newspapers, the Monroe County Appeal will be reducing the David Eales size of the paper in October. The change will be noticeable as it will be approximately the size of the Mexico Ledger and the Moberly Monitor Index along with other newspapers.

Currently the paper is 13 inches by 21 inches. In October, the paper will be reduced tby 2 inches in width to 11 inches by 21 inches.

The decision to reduce the size of the paper was not taken lightly. All possible avenues were examined and the decision was made to reduce the size of the paper rather than try to pass the rising cost of ink and paper on to our customers. The staff of the Monroe County Appeal unanimously feel that it is a better move to make the paper a tad smaller than increase subscription and/or advertising prices.

The smaller size will not translate to a loss of all the paper contains including news, sports, church news, court news, commission minutes and other content items. Our goals is to maintain our coverage and quality in the new size.

Speaking of subscriptions, it is possible to have your paper on Wednesday and subscribe, you can subscribe to the paper, at a reduced price than paying $.50 for it each week and pick the paper up at the office on Wednesday.

Also, a lease has been signed and the Monroe County Appeal is staying in its current location at 230 N. Main.

The Monroe County Appeal will mail next week’s paper to all residents with post office addresses in both Monroe and Ralls County. This month’s special feature will be a special section to mark the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War. The next mailing after that will be an Outdoor and Hunting Special Edition on Thursday, Oct. 11.

As noted previously, the purpose of the county mailings is twofold. One, to acquaint

new readers with our product and what benefits it can provide for you and your household. Second, it allows us to get our company advertisers out to a wider market.

It is through a symphony of both subscribers and advertisers that we are able to bring the Monroe County Appeal to your mailbox each week.

We want to serve our customers with the best product that we can.

The benefit of small town newspapers is the ability to get your local news, sports and local happenings coupled with pictures not available anywhere else either online or in print. When you and local businesses support a small town newspaper you ensure those traditions continue.

Have a great week!

Just a Thought

He’s a Little Runaway (Part 1)

A few weeks ago my children and I were hanging out in the family room after church. It appeared to be a great day and everything seemed to be going smooth. We were talking about various things nothing really in particular. My daughter started telling me about the notebook she wanted to buy with the money that she had been saving up. My oldest son had went and started playing around with his keyboard. As we were talking the twins were having a conversation of their own. Next thing I know one of the twins had a somewhat sad look on his face and walked out of the room into my bedroom. I wasn’t sure what he was doing until his brother informed me that he just told him he was running away. I was a little confused because just a few minutes ago he seemed fine.

A couple minutes later he walks past us from my bedroom to his room dragging my suitcase behind him. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was running away. I thought he was joking around so I said, “Well, you can’t use my suitcase to run away because then I won’t have a suitcase when I need one.”

I was chuckling as I said it but noticed he wasn’t laughing. I tried asking him what was wrong but he didn’t say anything as he made his way back to my bedroom to put the suitcase back.

I knew nothing big or bad had happened to him in the last few hours so I kind of dismissed it as him having a moment and decided to give him a little time. He has been known to mope around sometimes but almost always snaps out of it whether by himself or with a little assistance. I was giving him space to see which one it would be today. I went ahead and started a load of laundry and got busy

doing this and that. As I was folding the clothes, my son comes in and tells me that his brother is running away.

Well, I didn’t really get too alarmed about it because others had gone before him and had spoken those very same words only to make it to the end of the driveway before coming back. I reassured his brother that he wasn’t going anywhere and everything would be fine.

I then continued with the laundry until my daughter came in a couple minutes later and said this: “Wow, they really are running away. They are on the highway!”

I said, “What?”

She said, “Yep they are both on the highway. One walking and one riding the bike.

(First let me explain that we live about a mile outside of town. The highway I am referring to is not a main or typical highway per say but nonetheless it can be very dangerous especially when cars are going too fast or not paying attention. We have all walked into town together numerous times but it is always when I am with them making sure we are being extra careful.)

I couldn’t believe they were actually walking on the road by themselves. And I couldn’t figure out why BOTH of them were now running away instead of just the one. I immediately jumped up, put on the closest pair of shoes I saw and started running out the door. I saw a whistle on the table as I was going out so I grabbed it thinking it might help me get their attention instead of me trying to yell to them.

As I was struggling to run across the yard in the over sized flip flops I shoved on my feet, I thought to myself-why in the world didn’t I just hop in the van and go get them? And why did I think this whistle was going to be any help?

Monroe Manor Spotlight - Gary Minor

Gary Minor doesn’t think he has ever had a newspaper article written about him. He remembers his name’s been in the paper for singing in church and maybe as a result of attending a family reunion, but an article specifically about him? No. After this he’ll no longer be able to claim such.

To most people, Gary’s 62 years of life have been unconventional; not for something he’s done, but because of his circumstances: Gary’s blind and has been since birth.

His parents, Adelaide and the late J.W. Minor, discovered their first child’s blindness when he was 10 months old. A doctor examined the infant and discovered irreparable damage to the baby’s retina.

The thought of what to do with a blind boy had to take up a lot of the Minors’ waking hours in those early days after Gary’s diagnosis, but the faithful couple realized life would continue, just a little different than the norm, and today, Mrs. Minor wants anyone and everyone to know her oldest child has always been a blessing to her and his entire family.

The Minors ended up having five more children after Gary, Sheila and Rita coming in the next two years, and three boys, Stephen, Leslie and Michael later.

Despite his handicap, Mrs. Minor says Gary played the role of big brother.

“Being the oldest one, the younger kids watched Gary and admired him,” Mrs. Minor said. “It’s funny, but Gary actually potty trained the three youngest boys. Gary would patiently sit by them, maybe tell them a story and praise them when they went to the toilet. They were fond of ‘Bubba,’ their name for him.”

In November 1956, the family moved from Hannibal to the old Greening farm, three miles north of Florida. Their farm borders the historic Quarles property, where young Sam Clemens – the future Mark Twain – spent his boyhood summers in the 19th century; Sam Clemens’ mother and Mrs. John Quarles were sisters.

Adelaide Minor says her young Gary was rambunctious as Tom Sawyer.

“He was really like all little boys,” she says. “But because he couldn’t see, he was always falling down, hitting his little head and getting into trouble. He loved to throw rocks, but he didn’t know where they were going; once he broke three windows in the chicken house.” Gary remembers a paddling for that indiscretion.

Gary was very inquisitive, especially about machinery. He loved

to ride along side his dad on the tractor, and J.W., being a good dad, would occasionally let Gary sit on his lap and steer. Gary once did the opposite of what his dad told him about not touching the tractor’s power take-off lever, accidentally lowering a cultivator down on brother Leslie’s foot, and again remembers getting his britches dusted for the error.

Mrs. Minor’s always been musically inclined and Gary taught himself how to play a drum set she got him. She said he was very proud to be a drummer boy in a live Nativity scene in Monroe City, when he was a youngster. He continued playing drums until he began having neurological seizures as a teenager.

She says Gary’s hearing has always been better than anyone’s in the family and could hear his dad’s tractor coming home from the field before others.

When he was five years old Gary started school at the Missouri School for the Blind in St. Louis.

Mrs. Minor said she thought it was the hardest thing she ever did in her life, the first time she left him in St. Louis, but found it was even harder to take him back after the Christmas break.

Despite his mother’s apprehensions, Gary says after he got over homesickness, he enjoyed his time at the St. Louis school. He learned to read Braille, got to meet scores of new kids and began whetting his interest for history. Gary loves history, singing, God and his family, all things he learned from his mother.

He finished his St. Louis schooling in 1970 and moved back into his parents’ farm home. In early 1971, he started working at a handicapped work shop in Monroe City and stayed there for three years, but the seizures that he had been suffering from since age 13 prohibited him from continuing. After that, instead of sitting at home, he would frequently accompany his mother to her job at the Twain Haven Nursing Home, in Perry, entertaining residents with singing and playing a snare drum.

In April of 1995, Mrs. Minor opened her entertainment theater

Gary Minor near Florida, Grandma’s Country Music. They’ve had more 550 shows in 17 years and Gary hasn’t

missed one. He often does the show’s gospel, singing his signature song, “Why Me Lord.”

Gary arrived at Monroe Manor in October 2008. He is the resident country music historian, and has the best appetite in the house. He has nothing but friends and a pleasure to be around. He anxiously awaits visits from his mother and siblings, enjoys outside trips and talking with his many friends. He’s a fan of XM radio, a voracious reader of the Braille version of ESPN magazine, and takes great pleasure in listening to books on tape.

Hopewell Farms Livestock LLC, Paris, and Kylee Jo Ragsdale, Paris, each own one bull listed in the 2012 Fall Sire Evaluation Report published by the American Angus Association® in Saint Joseph, Mo. Issued in both the spring and fall, the new report features the latest performance information available on 6,067 sires, and is currently accessible at www.angussiresearch. com.

“This report provides both Angus breeders and commercial cattle producers using Angus genetics with accurate, predictable selection tools for improving their herd,” says Sally Northcutt, genetic research director. Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are generated from the performance database of the American Angus Association, which includes information submitted by nearly 9,000 Angus

breeders this past year through the Association’s Beef Improvement Records (BIR) program.

The Fall 2012 evaluation includes a full suite of EPDs for production, maternal, and carcass traits. Available decision-making tools also include $Values, the bio-economic indexes designed to assist commercial producers in simplifying the genetic selection process.

The semi-annual analysis for the Sire Evaluation Report utilizes over 21 million measures used to generate nearly 62 million EPDs for the Angus breed.

The American Angus Association with headquarters in Saint Joseph, Mo., provides programs and services for nearly 30,000 members nationwide and thousands of commercial producers who use Angus genetics. Go to www.angus.org for more information.

The Ladies of Paris Christian Church will be hosting their annual Salad Supper, Tuesday, September 18, 6:30 p.m. As in the past there will be Theme Tables, which have become very popular.

NECAC offering asbestos inspection and abatement The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation is offering asbestos inspection and abatement.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency. NECAC contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. The agency’s Central Administration Offices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers operated in each county.

NECAC has two certified asbestos inspectors and two certified supervisors who can remove asbestos from schools, nursing homes and other facilities.

Asbestos is a naturally-occurring

compound that’s been proven to cause cancer, lung disease and other medical problems.

While it has been used for thousands of years, asbestos’ cancercausing properties weren’t first documented until the early 20th century. Asbestos was widely used for insulation in many buildings, ships and other manufactured products until the 1970s.

“Asbestos is dangerous, and we want to get rid of as much of it as we can,”: said NECAC Deputy Director for Housing Developments Carla Potts. “We encourage administrators at schools, nursing homes and other public facilities to give us a call and take care of the problems before they become an immediate hazard.”

NECAC will inspect facilities and bid on asbestos removal. More information is available by calling the agency at 573-324-2251.

The public is invited to take a WALK THROUGH TIME at the Florida Cemetery at Florida, on Saturday, Oct. 6, between 2 and 4 p.m. Re-enactors in historic costumes will portray the well-known and less-well known residents of the famous small village where MARK TWAIN was born. The

walk is FREE to the public. Refreshments will be available at a small cost. All proceeds will BENEFIT the Friends of Florida’s efforts to raise money for upkeep on its’ historic property. The Friends of Florida are non-profit organization devoted to preserving the history of Florida.

Volunteers needed for Mark Twain dig site

Volunteers are needed to help excavate at Mark Twain’s Uncle John Quarles’ site on each Saturday in September.. Excavations began on the site in 2007. The large two-pen log house with a breezeway dating 1840 -1850 has been excavated and a portion of this structure has been rebuilt. Before the north part can be rebuilt, areas immediately adjacent to the house need to be excavated. Finds have included ceramics, building parts, children’s toys and other things including coins.

In the past volunteers have come from as far away as St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago and Texas with most coming from within a fifty mile radius. Children, ten years old or older may come but must be accompanied by an adult (one child-one adult, two children-two adults).For information and directions call 573-735-2784 Pictures: (Top) Sifting for artifacts - Wayne Hartman, Holliday, and Gabrielle Baker, Philadelphia.

6 Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 Holliday Christian Church

Pastor David Holmes

Sally Blakemore, pianist, opened morning worship services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, Sept. 9 with the prelude. Reverend David Holmes welcomed the congregation including guests, Angela, Nolan and Gage Elsbury and Becky Barron. Opening hymn was “Glory to His Name”, followed by prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

The annual church fish fry will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 12. The Harvest Dinner is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 7. On that day, specialized jobs, provided by members of the congregation, will be available for purchase. In addition, a “yo-yo” quilt top, currently displayed at Shear Creations, will be raffled on that day. Chances may be purchased in advance from Berna Kotsenburg and on Sunday, Oct. 7, during the dinner.

Those celebrating birthdays this week were Andy Callison and Jeff Ragsdale. Prayer concerns were for Opal Johnston, Ann Ragsdale and Sharon Keeler and for those from the congregation who are traveling.

“Let The Lower Lights Be Burning” was the prayer hymn which was followed by pastoral prayer and “The Lord’s Prayer” repeated in unison.

Reverend Holmes used the apple to demonstrate the message during children’s moments. Even though we appear good on the outside, we may be rotten inside and need God’s guidance to become good inside, too.

“Bread of Heaven” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Jerry Ragsdale and Phil Blakemore, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table.

Deacons were Gerald Roberts and Johnny Ragsdale.

The morning message from Reverend Holmes was entitled “Expect a Miracle”. Scripture reading was from Mark 7:24-30. The hymn of invitation and dedication was “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” which was followed by closing prayer and singing of the “Spirit Song”.

The monthly Board/congregational meeting was held immediately following services.

Santa Fe Christian Church

Pastor Kenny Sharp

Psalm 139 was the scripture reading for our message Sunday morning.

“What’s God to me?” was the topic Pastor Kenny Sharp chose for the service. He spoke on four important things that demonstrate to us just how magnificent our God is-1) Leadership-His knowledge of each of us , 2) Protection-He provides a “hedge of angels” to protect us, 3) Creator-He formed each of us-we are like clay - He molds us to the form He wants, and 4) Over-comer - He is the over - comer in us. God is magnificent and perfect!

Tootsie Peak spoke with the children about reasons why they pray. She reminded them that prayer is important because with God ALL things are possible and to pray often and thank God, too, with every prayer. Children’s ministry was led by Ashley Kendrick and Brian Chase.

Prayers were requested for the family of Dylan Gruber, Eddie Peak, Sara Watson, Luke Olivas, James A. and Valena Booth, Sue’s grand baby (an acquaintance of Dennis and Susan Kendrick’s), Tonya Knight, Charlotte Omer, Don Laird, Barbara Ensor, John and Donna (friends of Alan and Johanna Wilkerson), Holly Parn’s son (Eric), Richard Stone, and the family of Madilynn St. Clair. Traveling mercies were requested for Otis Reynolds and the rest of the LA Disaster Crew.

Darrel and Nancy Wilkerson joyfully shared their excitement with their announcement that Alan and Johanna Wilkerson are expecting a baby in April. Praises were shared for Mike and Juanita Willingham celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary on Monday, Sept. 10, for MacKenzie Baker getting a lead in a musical play to be held Nov. 8, 9 and 10, that Bev and Bill Holmes visited Austin last weekend and Pastor Kenny gave praise for safety glasses and how they protected his eyes this past weekend.

Happy Birthday was sung to Colton Kendrick.

South Fork Presbyterian

Pastor John Grimmett

The Sunday, Sept. 9 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “O Master Let Me Walk With Thee” on the organ followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in the Responsive Call to Worship and the Unison Prayer.

Debbie Carey led in song to “Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee” dedicated to Bill Cearley; “Have Thine Own Way Lord”; “O Jesus, I Have Promised” and “Rise Up, O Men of God!”.

Joys for the morning was having Bill Cearley back with us; a beautiful day; Jim Beuter and Maxine Adams announced their wedding for Sunday, Sept. 23; Debbie Carey’s birthday; Session Meeting to be held next Sunday; fifth Sunday services planned; thank you from the Cearley’s; prayer for Angie Koch; Brian Carey family; Susie McGee’s mother, Barb; officers of Bowling Green and surrounding area for safety; Tilt family; and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John played guitar and sang “When It’s All Said and Done”.

The morning message “The Task at Hand” was based on scripture from James 2:14-26, we are not saved by faith alone. Show your faith by deeds also - reveal God’s word; Martin Luther was a reformer and a performer.

What good is a prayer if you do nothing - do things just as Jesus did; feed the hungry; heal the sick; calming the sea; praying for others. Going to the cross for us - - - James said “my brother went to the cross for you and for me - the Disciples went out into the world doing things in the name of God! For all the miracles Christ did He did them for God - Open your eyes to glorify your Father in Heaven! Lead a life of active faith today...

When faced with choices - choose the one to follow Jesus Christ! Live the life of a disciple! Every prayer you make can be an offering to the once who died for you and me...

The offertory was led by Curt Jackson as Patti played “Forest Green” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Lead On, O King Eternal” as all retired in fellowship.

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

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26

The church held a worship service on Sunday, Sept. 9, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, “Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover,” on a warning against partiality and that faith without works is dead, was based on James 2:1-17. The congregation welcomed Rumiko Castleman, who joined the church family by transfer of membership. Junior Church continues to be held each Sunday at 10:45 a.m. and all youth are welcome to attend.

Mt. Airy Baptist Church

Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

On Sunday, Sept. 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 Singspiration will be on Saturday, Sept. 15 at Pleasant Green with a carry-in dinner at 5:30 p.m. and singing at 6 p.m.. The Mountianairs will perform with Praises to Him at Camp Cedar Crest at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22 for a Camp Cedar Crest fundraiser.

This week’s message was titled “Blessings in the House of God” and came from Psalm 84. The phrase, ‘God’s people in God’s house, under God’s rule receive God’s blessings’. Coming into the House of God is to be understood as a privilege that God’s children are to partake in. Preparations of the heart should begin before one enters the House of God. It is a blessing to be able to spend time close to God in His House. Going to church should never be viewed as a chore or duty. To receive the blessings of God one must be under His rule. Remember it is His House.

Full Gospel Fellowship

Pastor Terry Davison

For our message on Sunday, Sept. 9, we asked the question, “What have we learned?” All through our school years, we are tested in order to qualify and quantify what we have learned: there are specific benchmarks along our path to education that must be met and maintained. Once we reach adulthood, we are tested as we apply for jobs, reach for promotion, seek funds for a new home, and so on. But our Christian growth is seldom tested in any human sense: there seems to be within the church a lack of accountability.

Christians have their Bibles to read, the Sunday School classes to attend, sermons to hear, and Divine inspiration to receive. The knowledge, the information, is readily available to all: but since there is no common benchmark, uniform education cannot be assured and measurement of same is next to impossible.

People learn to quote Scriptures, speak Biblical truths, and use the vernacular. While these are all good, they only indicate head knowledge: and are not necessarily proof of understanding. Let us learn consider a new paradigm... one in which proof of learning is borne out in action.

Scripture tells us, in Matthew 7:20, “Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.” The test upon which God places credibility is our lives themselves: whether or not they bear fruit of Christlike living. This is an open book test, or possibly more aptly, an “open life” test. All we need to do is look at our own lives and compare them to Scriptural tenets so that we will know with surety what we have learned.

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

Celebrating children was the basis for the Sunday, Sept. 9 worship service at the Perry Christian Church. The choir opened with “In This Very Room”.

In observing a children’s prayer vigil for the next few weeks, Caytlyn Provancha lit the first candle and read the meditation.

Pastor Todd gave the Call to Worship and introduced his sisters, Mary and Susie and their families who are visiting them. Another guest was from Garden City, Kans.

Jill Lewellen announced the annual hayride at their farm would be Saturday, Oct. 6, starting at 5 p.m. Bring hot dog, bun, marshmallow and lawn chair. The Santa Fe Christian Church sent an invitation to their Ladies Salad Supper on Monday, Oct. 8. The bible study groups on Monday will be finishing Song of Solomon and beginning Isaiah. FTWJ will meet Sunday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m.

“Awesome God” was the praise hymn.

“They’ll Know We Are Christians” was the prayer hymn with the response “Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying”. Tanner Fohey, Melissa Mercer and Marge Krigbaum were new on our prayer list along with the family of Dylan Gruber.

The pastor gave the invitation to participate in the Lord’s Supper. “Like a Lamb Who Needs the Shepherd” was sung.

Elders Greg Harrison and Jill Lewellen offered prayers. The deacons, Tom Hurley, Carol Norman, Wyatt Lewellen and James Parker served the communion.

The choir sang “Gentle Shepherd” for the special music.

Alisha Eisele used crayons showing the children how they were like people in the church, all different but still fit together in their box and they should treat all their friends alike.

Mark 7:24-37 was read by Joyce Coleman for the pastor’s sermon “Jesus Brought Blessings Into the Lives of Children”. In celebrating God’s gift of children in the world, we need to realize how important Jesus is to the children in our community. God’s gift of His Son was the greatest gift of all.

“The Savior is Waiting” was the invitation hymn. “Lord, Dismiss Us with Your Blessing” was sung in closing.

Carol Norman held a short CWF business meeting after the service closed.

Madison Christian Church

Pastor David Holmes

Services were held at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, Sept. 9, with 27 members in attendance. Rev. Holmes led the Minister’s Greetings and Announcements and the morning prayer. Linda Wood played a medley on the digital piano using various instruments as special music.

Announcements: Junior high and high school youth group meets on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. All youth from 5th grade through high school are welcome. Friday, Sept. 14 and Saturday, Sept. 15: Work days at the church for painting and cleaning. All help will be appreciated.

Autumn’s cooler temperatures and colorful foliage draw many hikers to the trails, but slips, trips and sudden changes in the weather can put a stop to the fun. To prevent a safety misstep along the way, plan ahead for your outing.

“Hiking is a very healthy activity and it’s good for people to get out and explore nature,” says Jim Nepstad, superintendent for Effigy Mounds National Monument in Harpers Ferry, Iowa.

“To maximize chances of a safe hike in the woods, prepare in advance.”

Stay safe with these tips: Gear up. Because the weather can change quickly in the fall, Nepstad recommends packing an extra layer of clothing. “It’s beneficial to have the capability to add or remove extra layers,” he says. Also bring a map and compass with you, in addition to your cell phone, because “cell phone coverage can be weak or nonexistent in some areas,” he says. And even if you don’t think you’ll be gone a long time, a snack and some water will help if you begin to feel fatigued.

Practice the buddy system. There is safety in numbers—especially if you get lost, fall and injure yourself or spot a dangerous wild animal. If you don’t have a hiking buddy, consider joining a hiking club.

Be informed. “Educate yourself on what’s in the local area so there are no unwelcome surprises,” Nepstad says. Talk to park rangers before heading out on the trail. Ask for their recommendations on hikes that are of the length you’re looking for, what you should take with you, and what you might encounter along the way.

Also investigate the following ahead of time: Local weather Plants, animals, and bugs you might come across Inform others. Always communicate your hiking plans to others. Let them know where you’re going, when you’re leaving, and what time you anticipate returning. That way, if you run into trouble, they can send help in a timely manner, Nepstad says.

Church News Continued from page 6 Paris First Baptist Church

Pr. Wesley Hammond

Kathy Miller opened the service with her prelude. Brenda Ensor, pianist and John Turnbough on guitar accompanied the special music by the choir, “Pass It On”, directed by Cheryl Gholson. Chuck Brazeale gave the invocation.

A couple of women’s retreats were announced, Camp Inlow, ($75.00, includes overnight stay) Sept. 28 and 29, in Philadelphia, and Lockewood Park Church in Mexico, Saturday, Oct. 13, $15.00.

Other announcements: Wednesday, Sept. 12, Our Father’s Closet 9 a.m. until 12 Noon, Prayer Meeting 6:15 p.m., Bible Study on Prayer, 7 p.m., Richard and Wanda Boggs’ home, choir practice 7 p.m., Business meeting 8:06 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 13, begins TeamKid at 3:30 p.m., for elementary aged children. Ms. Lindsey would love to see you there!!!

Mary Treat announced that she will provide transportation to their home for any child after TeamKid, church, or RA’s & GA’s.

During September, Missouri Missions offering will be collected.

Among other things, this money helps with Super Summer for youth to help them grow in Christ. Our church goal is $2,500.00.

Mark Bell gave the children’s sermon. He showed them the letters IOU and drew a picture of a check and discussed wages as something we earn and sometimes we are paid by check. The Bible talks of different wages, “the wages of sin”, but by confessing our sins and asking for forgiveness, there is no condemnation or punishment.

Through the Mott Memorial the following children were presented Bibles; Taylor Bell, Cindy Kohler, Aleah Sanner, Rebekka Washburn, Thomas Sanner and Gracie Hatton. John and DeDee Mitchell led children’s church.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Colossians 2:8-15 entitled “Life Together: The Enemy”. God gave a special peaceful land to His people. The people began living an ungodly life and they became enslaved. In our lives today, we become embroiled in our own sin or past sin, and it becomes a struggle to do what God wants us to do. In this way we can become our own enemy and enslave ourselves, and in so doing we miss the true blessings God has for us. Success in life comes through Christ’s leadership.

Hayhurst passing and rushing and Coyote defense shine, defeats North Shelby 34-13 The Paris Coyotes fell behind early and then rallied behind 261 total yards rushing and passing from quarterback Steven Hayhurst to defeat North Shelby 34-13. It was the first win of the season for the win hungry Coyotes (1-2) Paris fell behind early when North Shelby hit a big run (40 yards) for a score and hit the extra point and it was 7-0.

Paris responded with two touchdowns (and extra points) of their own in the quarter – a 33-yard touchdown to Slater Stone from Hayhurst that was a thing of beauty. Stone out jumped two defenders and tipped the ball forward to himself for the score.

Hayhurst added a rushing touchdown for the Coyotes in the quarter and the extra point was good.

North Shelby added a touchdown in the second quarter but the extra point was blocked and Paris led at the half 14-13. The quarter ended with a long pass from Hayhurst to Stone who was downed at the onefoot line as time expired.

The second half was all Coyotes as Paris scored a single touchdown in the third quarter on a 70-yard fumble return by Senior Chance Wheelan who picked up the ball by the sidelines and outraced everyone for his score. The extra point was no good as the Coyotes were moved back by a procedure call.

The Coyotes added two last quarter scores as Hayhurst added another rushing touchdown and Trae Hammond scored on a 23 yard touchdown from Hayhurst. Hammond corralled the ball on about the five and back pedalled into the end zone for a score. Hayhurst ran the two point conversion in for the final 34-13 score.

Defensively, Paris was a beast in this game. Freshman Laine Forest grabbed two interceptions and Senior Chance Wheelan returned that loose ball 70 yards for a Coyote score. Recovering fumbles and

giving the Coyotes good ball position were Wheelan, Trae Hammond, Slater Stone and Zach Baker.

It was a feel good game as Justin Wolfe, listening to chants of “Wolfe, Wolfe”, from his own personal cheering squad was all over the field making tackles, causing fumbles, driving runners out of bounds and playing inspired defense for the Coyotes. Wolfe led all Coyotes in tackles with 15 (3 for losses) while Stone and Kole Berry had 13 (2 for losses) and 14 (1 for a loss, 1 for a sack) tackles respectively. John DeOrnellis also added a sack for the Coyotes.

It was just the kind of game the Coyote defense needed as the front line pushed North Shelby all over the field as they had nine tackles for losses, had two interceptions and four fumble recoveries.

Hayhurst played a perfect game at quarterback hitting 7 of 13 passes for 120 yards and two scores while rushing 23 ties for 141 yards and two scores. He was named the KRES Player of the Week for his efforts.

Stone led the team in receiving with five grabs for 83 yards and his one score. Wolfe in his first action of the season offensively rushed the ball seven times for 22 yards.

“We came out and played with a lot of enthusiasm this week,” said Head Coach Gary Crusha. “Steven Hayhurst had a very productive game on offense. Freshman Laine Forrest recorded two interceptions and our defense caused seven turnovers to set up scoring opportunities for our offense. We have a tough game with Knox County this week and have to prepare for they have some talented athletes.”

Statistics Passing: Steven Hayhurst 7 completions in 13 attempts (.538) for 120 yards and 2 scores.

Receiving: Slater Stone 5 receptions for 83 yards (1 touchdown);

Chance Wheelan 1/14, Trae Hammond 1/23 (1 touchdown).

Rushing: Hayhurst 23 rushes for 141 yards (2 touchdowns), Justin Wolfe 7/22; Stone 9/-4.

Defensive Statistics Tackles: Steven Hayhurst 2, Laine Forest 7, Justin Wolfe 15 (3 for a loss), Trae Hammond 4, Austin Wilkerson 1, Stone 13 (2 for a loss), Zac Baladenski 5, Briar Hancock 1, Corey Court 2, Dylan Langerud 2, Brody Lehenbauer 3, John DeOrnellis 4 (1 for a loss),

Kole Berry 14 (1 for a loss), Shawn Basnett 2, Seth Duncan 2 (1 for a loss), Zach Baker 2 (1 for a loss), Andrew Hill 3.

The Paris Lady Coyotes (7-3) took to the field on Saturday, Sept.

8, at the North Shelby Tournament.

When the dust settled and the last out was called the Lady Coyotes walked away with the third place hardware.

In the first round game versus LaPlata the Lady Coyotes behind solid pitching and timely hitting defeated the Lady Bulldogs 9-1.

The Lady Bulldogs fell in the semi-final game 4-1 to Scotland County but bounced back with a 6-2 win over North Shelby for the third place trophy.

North Shelby Good fielding by Sirena Bell epitomized the Lady Coyote play in the top of the first inning. Bell threw out a North Shelby runner from third and then made a terrific play on a ball out of bounds diving to make a snow one catch.

Freshman Shortstop Sydnee Playter ended the inning with a running catch.

Jill Nobis started the offensive first inning with a perfect bunt single. Josey Ball advanced her to second on a fielder’s choice and then a Payton Gruber double drove Nobis home for a one run lead. Kayla Langerud drove a rope to center and the Lady Coyotes had runners at the corners. Sirena Bell singled in Gruber and advanced Rachel Blades, running for Langerud to second. 2-0 Paris after an inning.

Kayla Langerud started the second defensive inning with a strikeout and then a nice over the shoulder grab of a pop fly. Second baseman Jill Nobis ranged to her left and tossed out a runner at first to Haley Fredrick for the third out of the inning.

Offensively in the second, Lauren Embree lined a single in the gap between first and second, then stole second, Dede Bounds doubled home Embree, Bounds advanced to third on a passed ball, Playter walked to have runners on the corners. Then Nobis laid down another perfect bunt to load the bases; Gruber tapped an infield single and Bounds scored.

Next Langerud nubbed a ball into the dirt in front of home plate that scored Playter, Bell added an infield single scoring Nobis. End of the second - 6-0 Lady Coyotes.

In the third, Langerud struck out two and the last out was an easy Langerud to Fredrick punch out.

On the mound, Lockhart struck out 1 batter, as well as scoring a pivotal grand slam on offense.

Coach Jason Rinz.

Two nights later, the Lady Coyotes traveled to Salisbury to face the Lady Panthers in their first road game. In the first game, the Paris A squad was tied at 1-1 early in the game, until Salisbury broke the deadlock in the third inning.

scored the single Paris run, while Hunter struck out 1 batter.

In the second game, the B squad jumped out to an early 5-1 lead.

Lockhart struck out 2 batters and scored 1 run. Other scorers in-

cluded: M.Williams, Fox, Unterbrink, and Regan Ragsdale with 2 runs each, while Hannah Mitchell, Schoonover, and Stahlschmidt tacked on 1 run apiece.

“Salisbury is always tough, but our girls never got down on themselves and they responded well in the second game.” added Asst. Coach Rinz.

Monroe County VITALS

Virginia Morgan Westlake

1916-2012

Virginia Morgan Westlake died on Sept. 2, at age 96 at KC Hospice House in Kansas City. Virginia was born on May 4, 1916, to Gertrude Cruzan Morgan and Roy L. Morgan at the Morgan family farm in Monroe County. She attended the local one-room school house nearest her home and then continued her high school education in Paris, while boarding with a local widow. She finished high school in 1934 and, being at the top of her class, had as her goal to attend college. However, due to the depression, she had to find a method to support herself. So at the age of 18 she was able to secure a position as an elementary school teacher teaching grades 1-8 at a country school similar to the one she herself had attended. Two of her younger brothers, Bob and Dale Morgan were among her first students. Many times she rode her horse to school so her father built a small barn on the school property for her horse and helped her by building a fire to heat the school room in the winter. In order to continue her teaching career she was required to take college courses in the summer and she attended Northeast Missouri State Teachers College in Kirksville, for seven summers.

In 1941 she met and married First Lieutenant F. K. “Frank” Westlake and they followed the dictates of his military career before moving to Moberly, at the end of WWII where they lived for the rest of their lives. Virginia and Frank particularly enjoyed dancing to “big band” music and playing bridge.

Virginia was active in various Moberly organizations, including Chapter AK PEO, Randolph County League of Women Voters, Sorosis and the Moberly Music Club. She was a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Moberly for over 70 years.

Although her family was always her first priority, her interests included politics, women’s rights and environmental issues, fitness, health and nutrition. After raising her children she still had the ambition to complete her college education. So when she was in her sixties she went back to college and completed her BS in ED degree at Central Methodist College at Fayette and then went on to the University of Missouri at Columbia and earned a Master’s Degree in Learning Disabilities. Afterward, she taught children with learning disabilities in the Clark, school district for several years before retiring. She was extremely interested in her students and maintained a supportive relationship with some of them for many years.

During her later years, as well as her home in Moberly, she maintained an apartment at the Forum in Overland Park, Kan., where she was able to have frequent contact with her extended family, most of whom live in the Kansas City area.

She leaves her adoring family with a legacy of unconditional love, and also with a great respect for her sharp intellect and her independent opinions.

Virginia is survived by her three children, daughter Anne Elsberry and her husband Howard Elsberry of Leawood, Kan., son Scott Westlake and his wife Vicki of Leawood, Kan., and son Richard Westlake and his wife Janice of Hallsville. Virginia, affectionately called “Gigi” by her family is also survived by nine grandchildren, Shelley Elsberry, Andrea Gonder, Stephen Elsberry, Jennifer Westlake, Lindsay White, Lauren Haake, Brandon Westlake, Leslie Westlake, and Dustin Westlake; twenty one great grandchildren and one great-great grandson. Virginia is also survived by her brothers Bob Morgan and Dale Morgan and his wife June Morgan and their families from Paris.

Virginia was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, F.K. “Frank” Westlake.

She was also predeceased by her brother Charles Morgan, her sister-in-law Wilma Morgan, and Virginia’s granddaughter Crystal Pope.

Visitation was in Wesley Covenant Chapel at The Church of the Resurrection, 13720 Roe Ave in Leawood, Kan., on Thursday, Sept. 6, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Services were held Friday, Sept. 7, at 11 a.m., in Wesley Covenant Chapel. Following the services, there was a luncheon reception at Hallbrook Country Club, 11200 Overbrook Rd, Leawood, KS 66211.

Graveside services were at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, at Oakland Cemetery, in Moberly, followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall, Trinity United Methodist Church, 101 South 4th Street, Moberly.

The family wishes to thank Inge Fry, Natalie Drybread, Hazel Haskins, Era Brown, and Kathleen Baker for their loving care of Virginia.
