Because It Works

RJF

Just Ask Dave...

by David Eales Publisher/Editor appeal@parismo.net Infrastructure - The Paris Area Chamber of Commerce held their annual banquet recently, which was a success for the organization. It was a to celebrate local businesses and business people. Recognized was Hickman’s IGA as well as Don, Jim and Larry Hickman as the Paris David Eales Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year for 2012. Also recognized was Chamber Director Vanessa Forrest as Chamber Person of the Year. People were reminded to Buy Locally. Each dollar spent here in Paris returns monies to the city and county coffers that can be used for city and county infrastructure.

As local residents we expect good roads and streets and sidewalks.

These are not cheap. To maintain and to replace these items the city and county needs money. Tax money is used for these necessary infrastructure items. To make sure we have enough tax money we need to “Buy Locally.” When I mention that program I do not mean that we need to buy 100 percent of everything we purchase in Paris - that is impossible. But we do need to spend every part of our shopping dollars here that we can. If you have a large grocery shopping list and are going to visit a major box store if you stop at Hickman’s IGA and buy maybe five items on your list - that will go far to helping us keep our roads and sidewalks in good repair.

Next week we are going to produce our monthly issue that is delivered to all individuals in Monroe and Ralls Counties.

Recently we upgraded our delivery system and as of last week the Mexico Ledger is inserting, labeling and mailing our newspaper. I mention this because next week, with Mexico Ledger mailing, they will deliver the newspaper for the total saturation issue to Columbia for delivery. According to Paris Postmaster Mindy Flick, the paper could be received at the Paris Post Office, Thursday and be delivered on time. If it is received a day late then the paper will be a day late being delivered. We apologize for any delay and if late a copy of the paper can be picked up at the office.

In next week’s regional issue we will feature National Education Week with articles written by students. The next week will feature How To Cook a Turkey by the kindergarten students. Enjoy!

Have a great week!

As I write this I have voted this election morning and will be as glad as anyone else for the end of the election cycle. The general conversation at this time of the political season is mostly about the nastiness of the political ads and the annoying robo calls in support of and in opposition to the candidates. And while many of us wonder why otherwise decent people would approve these kinds of advertising or allow them to be used by their supporters, none of us has an answer or remedy for their use because we know the real answer. These negative and sometimes outright false ads are and will continue to be used because they work. People believe and apparently act on what these ads are claiming to be factual.

While our country is blessed in that every four years our changes in leadership are peaceful and orderly. There are no riots, loss of life or serious injuries involved. But there are casualties. Reputations and careers are damaged and truth and honor diminished and mocked.

And there are innocent victims as well including the families of candidates who are forced to watch and hear the destructive attacks on their loved ones. And damaged as well is our international reputation among our friends who witness the down and dirty nature of some of our elections at the very time that we are encouraging the spread of democracy and democratic elections in other countries.

After the results are in and the pundits tell us why the winner was victorious and the loser lost we will soon forget our disgust and displeasure at the way political campaigns are being conducted and be glad for the brief respite that is ours before we start the next cycle of campaigning. “Because it works” is our collective fault as voters and until the first negative ad is met with outrage and the ad sponsor is shamed and until the first false ad is promptly outed as a lie and its sponsor(s) branded as liars, it will continue to work. And we will all be the worse for it so long as we stand for it.

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

90 Years Ago Nov. 3, 1922 Gasoline took another drip at Paris Tuesday, retailing for 21 cents a gallon. This is one cent less than it has been selling for.

At Bryant school, southwest of Paris, Friday night, the pies sold for a total of over $30, the highest pie bringing $2.50. It belonged to the teacher Miss Flossie Shearman and was bought by Harlan Gray.

Everything points to a Democratic landslide in the country at large next Tuesday. General dissatisfaction with the Harding administration, opposition to the recently enacted high tariff bill, and general unrest, it is believed, will give the Democrats a majority in t House and many new members in the Senate at Washington.

The Shelbyville schools were closed last week on account of a scarlet fever epidemic.

Von L. Smock feels sure that the honest people in his part of the county are newspaper readers, for the most of them have asked him about the warning he gave to a hickory nut thief in last week’s Appeal. The fact that the stolen nuts have not been returned indicates to in that a party who is low-down enough to steal such things is either too ignorant to read or else too busy on dishonest jobs to take time to read,

75 Years Ago Nov. 11, 1937 W.H. Williams of Goss has set an example that some much younger men in the large towns should follow. Although 84 years old, Mr. Williams went to the woods and chopped down sixteen loads of wood in eight days.

He now has it on his woodpile ready for winter. He says this beats sitting around and asking some relief agency to provide fuel.

Ming Toy, a pet Chow, caused a flurry of excitement when she fell five-stories the other day. She is recuperating from a broken leg and an injured back.

The County Court this week made arrangements for the building of a new electric line from the Paris city limits to the county farm, southeast of town. The line has gotten into a poor state of repair, and last year, when live wires got down in a field in which there was stock, caused some stock losses which cost the county around $25. The new line will deviate slightly from the former route used, and will be shorter.

Two Monroe County boys were named last week as among the winners of the 1937 litter producing contest for Future Farmers of America in Missouri. Twenty will be chosen in the state but names of others have not been

announced.

Carl Arnett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Arbett of south of Paris, a vocational agriculture student at Paris, is shown above with his litter of nine Poland Chainas which weighed 2267 pounds at the age of 180 days.

Henry Lee Heckart, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Heckart of the southeast part of the county, a student in Perry vocational agriculture department, its shown at bottom with his letter of 12 Spotted Polands which weighed 2110 pounds at 165 days of age. Arnett’s litter exceeded the required weight of 2100 pounds by 7.9 per cent; Heckart’s exceeded it by 4.7 per cent.

50 Years Ago Nov. 8, 1962 Preston Tanzey, Paris, was a winner in the National DeKalb Corn Show. He entered the longest ear. The show was held in connection with its National Corn Picking Contest at Grand Island, Nebraska last month.

The ear of corn measured over 14 inches.

The market on coon and o’possum furs will open Saturday, November 10, according to Shatzer & Son. This year all persons selling furs must have a permit number, regardless of age or where furs are caught.

25 Years Ago Nov. 12, 1987

The community’s largest employer-Grates Energy Products— has begun the process of shutting down their operations in Paris, by finalizing their timetable for layoffs.

The members of the Paris City Council held a short, but productive, meeting last Tuesday night for their regular November gathering. Among the items of business handled Tuesday night was the selection of an engineering firm to study dredging the Salt River and the signing of the deed to the Gates Energy property.

Bike-A-Thon: $6354.25 was collected in Monroe County during the recent American Cancer Monroe County during the recent American Cancer Society BikeA-Thon. Aaron Menefee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Stuart and David Menefee, won the drawing for the Lil’s Dixie Darlin’ Doll donated by Dorothy Billings; Doug Buckman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Buckman, Paris grand prize winner; Ryan Milhollin, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Milollin, Madison grand prize winner. The grand prizes were donated by United Missouri Bank of Paris, Paris National Bank of Madison Businessmen’s Association. The following riders each received jam boxes of riding the farthest: Linda Turner, Dwayne Bergmann and Randall Wilkerson, all of Paris; Stephen Schrieber, Holliday, the Madison winner.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

SUPERMOM Sometimes I think about how great it would be if I could do all the things my children think I can do, have all the things they think I have and know all the things they think I know. My son is notorious for asking me questions and expecting me to know the answer.

One day he asked me a question about lizards. I can’t even remember what the question was but I know I did not know the answer.

I told him I didn’t know and he couldn’t believe it. He said he thought I knew everything because I was mom.

Well, I broke the news to him that I do not know everything and then told him if he wanted to know the answer he could get out the encyclopedia and look it up. Then he said this: “Mom, I know you know the answer but you want me to look it up so I can find the answer on my own.” Well, I wasn’t going to argue with him. We already have our fair share of arguments around the house, why add more? So he thinks his mom is a super genius who retains all knowledge but at the same time teaches him lessons on how to be independent? I’m sure he will discover in the not so distant future (teen years) that I do not know much of anything.

Not only do my children think I know everything but they think I can do everything. Whether it is making something, fixing something or creating something my children think I hold the key to achieving it. It would be nice if this was the case but it is definitely not. Now don’t get me wrong.

There are some things I can do but making a habitat for their pet frogs they found out of two pieces of string, a couple of sticks and some leaves is not one of them.

My boys are always coming to me with random items they found and wanting me to make something for them. Once in awhile I can come up with something that seems to satisfy them. It might only last for a brief moment but it does bring a little satisfaction.

One time my youngest son wanted me to draw a picture of a super hero for him. I did the best I could –drawing characters has never been my strong suit. Even though it looked very little like any super hero I have ever seen he got really excited and thought it was cool.

He was telling me thank you and getting ready to color it when he saw the picture of the super hero his older brother drew. It looked a hundred times better. Next thing I know the super hero I drew is laying on the top of the trash and he is coloring one he had his brother draw for him. Hey, I gave it a shot, he liked it for a brief moment and then he realized a truth-Mom is not very good at drawing super heroes.

And last but not least is the motion my children have that I have a plethora of money at my disposal at all times. Again, it would be nice if this was the case but it is not. One day my children and I were out and about. My son asked if we could get Chinese for lunch. I told him no and of course he asked why. I explained to him that it cost money to eat Chinese and we have food at home to eat.

Then he said this: “ you can just go to that machine you go to and it will give you some money so we can eat Chinese.” He was talking about the ATM. I tried to explain to him that the “machine” does not just hand out money to you and that the money comes out of your account. Then I went on to attempt to explain how you have to put money in your account and have it there to take it out and so forth and so forth. Well, I just lost him about halfway into it so I dropped it and we headed home for some delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Even though it is flattering that my children think I know all and can do all, it is very, very far from the truth. I am finding out more and more as I get older that I cannot do much of anything especially on my own accord. It takes a little me and WHOLE LOT of God to be the parent I need to be for my children.

Smart Steps To Ladder Safety

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Ladder-related injuries result in 164,000 trips to the emergency room yearly, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Avoid becoming a statistic by taking extra care with ladders. Whether you’re cleaning out gutters, painting a ceiling or hanging holiday lights, these pointers can help you stay safer.

• Choose the right ladder for the job. “Purchase a ladder that gives you the height you need,” says Janet Rapp, executive director of the American Ladder Institute. Extension ladders must extend three feet above the work surface. For safety, users must not step on the top two steps of a step ladder. Also check the ladder’s Duty Rating, which must be greater than your weight and that of your supplies. Additionally, if you’ll be working near electrical wires, steer clear of aluminum ladders, which conduct electricity. Choose wood or fiberglass instead.

• Perform regular inspections. Look for cracks, dents and loose, damaged or missing hardware. Another red flag: Your ladder leans to one side when you set it up.

Refer to this ladder inspection checklist for a step-bystep list of how to perform an inspection.

• Maintain your balance. Overreaching is a common user error, according to Rapp. “The middle of your belt buckle should be centered between the side rails,” she says. “Don’t reach too far to the left or right, because it could cause an imbalance.” Rapp urges people to adhere to the Three Points of Contact climbing rule: Always keep two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand on the ladder. And, if your work area is just out of reach, always climb down and reposition the ladder to a closer point.

Visit LadderSafety.org to view a multimedia training program about ladder safety, choosing the right ladder and ladder care.

Pastor Kenny Sharp

Sunday morning, Pastor Kenny Sharp continued his message on “Hell”. He referenced many scriptures telling that hell is a place people will go if Jesus Christ does not know them. It is a place of punishment for those who refuse to repent. He also spoke of there being different levels of punishment in hell. Falling into God’s hands will be a dreadful experience.

Pastor Kenny spoke with the children about the use of a First Aid Kit being to fix our wounds, aches and pains.

He then explained how the Bible is the First Aid Kit for our spirit and that our church family can be of aid to us, too. Ashley Kendrick (Mrs. Sam) will be leading the children’s message every Sunday. This week Bobbi Wisdom and Ian Chase were her helpers.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she sang “Above All”.

The message “Faith to Follow” was based on scripture from Ruth 1:1-19 where the greatest commandment is love. Naomi has no one to help take care of her but the daughter-in-laws. Ruth chose to stay with Naomi out of love; with a statement of faith returning to Bethlehem; Ruth is in the genealogy of our Lord Jesus Christ - from Abraham to Jesus there were thirty-two generations. God can do anything - if He can plan for years the birth of His Son. Have the same trust and the same love and faith as Ruth for your plan of salvation. He will honor you in an extraordinary way!

Pastor John led in the Apostles Creed and communion was served by Martha Hill and Earl Sweitzer; over 2000 years ago Jesus Christ came into this world to save us from sin...

The memory Bible memory verse is: Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!” Psalm 95:2 (NRSV). The thought for the week from Tom Rainwater is: Our true value comes from the fact that we are wonderfully made in the image of God and possess a soul that has greater value than all the world’s riches.

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh On Sunday, Nov. 4, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcement included: Do not forget to vote on Tuesday, Veteran’s Day is on the 11th, Pizza and Movie Night at church on the 17th at 6 p.m.

This week’s message was entitled ‘Vote Biblically’ and came from Exodus 18:13-16; Duet.1:15-17; and Lev.11:16-17. Christians have the freedom to express their faith in America. Many Christians in the world do not enjoy this freedom. With this blessing comes responsibility. Because Christians can vote for those who are leaders over them they must vote for the leader that God would choose. In the above verses in Exodus and Deuteronomy are the standards of those who are to be leaders of God’s people. In Leviticus, God’s blessing is shown on America’s form of government. Pay close attention to Duet.1:13:’Take you wise men’; this shows it is the people’s responsibility to choose the right person to govern.

Diana Hammond gave the children’s sermon from the Book of James, about words. When we are little we are encouraged to use words to express our thoughts. We should always use “good” words and not “bad” words.

We can change bad habits of using “bad” words. We should say something nice to someone every day.

Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship from Psalm 122.

DeDe Mitchell led children’s church.

Mark Bell’s sermon was from Genesis 3:1-6, entitled “One Man, A World of Change.” In this scripture there is a struggle of “good and bad”. The devil of course was bad and man (or woman) was good because God created them. The devil took God’s words and deceived Eve. Adam willingly followed rather than taking a stand. The world watches us and our actions can be more influential than we know. We can take a stand and in so doing we can be part of change in our world.

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

A special prayer for Election Sunday was presented on Sunday, Nov. 4 at the Perry Christian Church worship service. The candles were lit and the bell rung by Caytlyn Provancha. “Majesty” was sung by the choir.

Pastor Todd gave the welcome and addressed the announcements. FTWJ would be meeting tonight. The CWF will hold a meeting after Bible Study on Monday.

Readers are needed for Advent.

The hymn of praise was “My Jesus, My Savior”. The Rouse family, the pastor’s son John, wife Kristi and daughter Katy were welcome guests.

“Lord, Speak to Me” was the prayer hymn. Our concerns were for Carol Billet, Kenny Swon, Mary Parsons and condolences for the family of Andy Leake.

An update was given for George Johnson and we were happy to see Vicky Rouse doing so well. Prayers were also given for the East Coast and the election. The choir response was “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”.

The invitation was given for sharing the Lord’s Supper.

“Nothing But the Blood” was sung. Elders were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow. Warren Hetrick, Kennedy Jaspering, Glenna Johnson and Greg Harrison served as deacons.

Ronnie Rouse treated us to special bluegrass music that included his singing and playing guitar to “I’m Gonna Put This Old Guitar Away” and “By the Mark”. Ronnie had his wife and mother with him.

We were invited to his gospel program at the Baptist Church on the second Sunday in January.

Alisha Eisele told the children about God’s greatest commandments and what it means in their lives.

Mark 12:28-34 was read by Greg Harrison for Pastor Todd’s sermon, “Which Commandment Should I Follow”. A comparison between our coming election and Jesus meeting with the Sadducees and Pharisees was made. Life changing situations will be made as we vote.

God created us for a purpose beyond ourselves and we need to remember the commandments given us.

Our invitation hymn was “Reach Out to Jesus”. The pastor used the prayer Peter Marshall gave before the election, as his benediction. We closed singing “Lord, Dismiss Us”.

Mark Twain Quail Forever held its annual banquet on Saturday, Oct. 20, at the Madison Community Center. Two hundred twenty-five attended the event. Many new members were interested in restoring this great game bird.

A record was set in gun ticket sales, with over $7,150 in raffle sales.

Leading that effort was Rodney Wright, who has followed in the footsteps of long time mentor, Johnny Houchins.

Rodney won the MTQF gun ticket sales award. Bob & Maxine Riley, were awarded the Quail Forever Conservationist award of the year for many dedicated years of service to our quail habitat improvement organization.

The banquet was their most successful yet with net proceeds staying 100% local.

Casey Bergthold was ap-

pointed the new Quail Biologist for Quail Forever and the Missouri Department of Conservation and will reside in Shelbyville.

Casey and his wife Ashley and son Mason are excited to be back in Missouri. Casey’s parents Gay and Rick Bergthold have a farm near Santa Fe and his in-laws Rick and Sara James live on their farm just north of Paris.

Casey will be focused on assisting landowners in our area with wildlife plans on Farm Bill acres, specifically CRP, Continuous CRP like CP 33 and CP and EQIP projects.

They have received tremendous support by the many individuals and companies who sponsored the banquet.

Jerry Arends and Kevin Keeling were the auctioneers for the called auction and did an excellent job.

The next event for the

Paris Lions Club is the annual Whitetail Deer hunt for Disable individuals slated for Saturday, Nov. 17 and Sunday Nov. 18.

Tax Bills... Continued from front Day, Jan. 1, 2013.

According to the United States Treasury, the federal, state, and local tax systems in the United States have been marked by significant changes over the years in response to changing circumstances and changes in the role of government.

The types of taxes collected, their relative proportions, and the magnitudes of the revenues collected are all far different than they were 50 or 100 years

.

From the FRONT

ago. Some of these changes are traceable to specific historical events, such as a war or the passage of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution that granted the Congress the power to levy a tax on personal income. Other changes were more gradual, responding to changes in society, in our economy, and in the roles and responsibilities that government has taken unto itself.

Missouri Highway Patrol reminds residents how to stay safe during holiday travel The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds motorists that many Missourians will travel over the upcoming Thanksgiving weekend. This will change traffic patterns and requires everyone to be a courteous, safe driver. If you will be traveling this holiday, please make sure your car is in good condition before beginning your trip. It is also important that you are well rested before you start driving. Remember to buckle up -- seat belts save lives!

The Patrol will participate in Operation C.A.R.E (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) during this Thanksgiving holiday weekend. As part of this operation, all available officers will be assigned to Missouri’s roadways to enforce traffic laws, especially those related to drunk driving, speeding, and seat belt use. Troopers will also be assisting motorists as needed.

Over the past several years, the Patrol has used special traffic enforcement projects to further their efforts to decrease traffic crashes and fatalities.

This Thanksgiving weekend will include such an enforcement project, a 20mile Trooper Operation.

Troopers will work the road at 20-mile intervals along Interstates 35, 44, 55, and 70, as well as U.S. Highways 60 and 61.

The counting period for the 2012 Thanksgiving holiday weekend is from 6 p.m. Wednesday, November 21, until 11:59 p.m.

Sunday, November 25.

During the 2011 Thanksgiving holiday weekend, four persons were killed and another 464 were injured in 1,372 traffic crashes. That means traffic crashes killed or injured

President Eales thanked the members for attending in closing.

one person every 12.8 minutes in Missouri over last year’s Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

“It’s important that everyone arrive at their Thanksgiving destination safely,” said Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol. “Please obey all traffic laws, wear your seat belt, and pay attention to the job of driving--that text or cell phone call can wait. If alcohol is part of your plan, don’t drink and drive. On behalf of the employees of the Missouri State Highway

Patrol, I wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving.”

The Highway Patrol’s Emergency Assistance number is 1-800-525-5555 (or *55 on a cellular phone).

Motorists should use this emergency assistance number to report traffic crashes, crimes being committed, or other emergencies on Missouri’s highways. When you dial this number anywhere in the state, it rings directly into the closest Patrol headquarters.

Of course, no matter how safely you drive, you can’t control other drivers.

Thus, the Patrol encour-

ages motorists to protect themselves from all types of hazardous drivers by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Click It 4 Life!
