The Thanksgiving holiday is usually one of travel and cheer.

Unfortunately, it can also be a very dangerous time on Missouri roads. During the 2011 Thanksgiving holiday there were 1372 traffic crashes, and four fatalities on Missouri’s roadways.

“The sheer number of crashes, injuries and deaths during this holiday are startling enough, but worse yet, most of those deaths and injuries could have been

prevented,” said Leanna Depue, executive chair of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety.

“With more people traveling, the possibility for traffic incidents increases, but there are many things motorists can do to keep themselves safer on the roads.”

Before you head to Thanksgiving dinner, the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety urges you to plan your safe travel ahead of time. With increased traffic and hurried travelers, safety needs to your top priority. You can make your holiday travel safer by following these tips: Continued to page 9

Thursday, Dec. 6, will be the annual Christmas Parade. The theme for this year’s parade is “Carolling Around the Christmas Tree” and prizes will once again be awarded in two categories float and non-float with each first place prize being $50 (donated

While enjoying the parade, residents will be able to view the Christmas lights placed throughout the downtown area courtesy of Signature Masonary and Jonesy’s.

The chamber soup/chili supper will be held from 5-7:30 p.m., at the Paris Senior Citizen’s Center.

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

90 Years Ago Nov. 17, 1922 The City of Paris sold $35,000 worth of Bonds for light and water improvements last Friday to Prescott & Snider of Kansas City for a cash bonus of $315.

In addition to that the successful bidders agreed to stand the expense of printing the bonds and legal work which is valued at approximately $175. Nine firms bid on the bonds, two of them being Paris National Bank and the Paris Savings Bank. The three Kansas City firms bidding all offered a bonus while the four St. Louis bond brokers offered less than par. The two local bidders also offered a bonus, the Savings Bank bidding on the light bonds only coming within a few dollars of being highest. The National Bank bid on both bonds was nest to the successful bidders.

Miss Velma Barnes, Instructor in the home economics department of Paris High School, will open a tea shop in Paris next spring, Present plans are that the opening will be held on June 1.

Miss Barnes, who managed the tea room at the school house two weeks ago, is a graduate of Home Economics department of the University, in addition has had extensive experience in managing such an establishment. The building in which the tea shop will be conducted will be fitted out with rustic furniture and beautifully decorated. Girls of the home economics class of the high school will do the serving.

Cold drinks, sandwiches and specials; and dinner in the evening will be served.

Five big trunks, three of them bearing the name of a man named Le Hague and the other two consigned to T.V. Bodine, bachelor editor of the Mercury, are being held at the station in Paris. They arrived Sunday night.

The checks show that they were sent form Centralia. Bodine later received a letter from a woman who claimed to be a relative, asking that the trunks be forwarded to Springfield, Mo. He says he knows nothing about her and refused to have anything to do with the trunks. Sheriff Ford, of Mexico, has asked that be held until he can come over and make an inspection. It is rumored that the baggage belongs to a woman who eloped from Mexico with another woman’s husband. Sheriff Burton thinks the trunks are empty and that they were simply sent to Paris as a blind.

Monroe County car drivers who have not taken out license will incur risk of arrest and heavy fines if they are found driving without license, Instructions were given to state patrolmen and other officer Tuesday to begin enforcing the law. The fine and cost of every case, it was stated, will total $15. A license, good for two years, can be had for 50 cents.

The residence on the Thos. Utterback estate, northeast of Florida, was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon while the occupants were away from home. Few of their household belongings were saved. $1000 insurance was carried on the house, and $300 on the contents.

Monroe county people who are now on the old age pension rolls but whose children are amply able to take care them, will probably be removed in the near future. In a vigorous statement on this subject Tuesday Stark said: “It is a disgrace to any individual who has an adequate income to permit his parents to receive pensions. It is un fair to the state and the tax payers.”

50 Years Ago Nov. 22, 1962

The first of July, 1963, has been tentatively set as the target date for the completion of the new $600,000 high school building of the Paris Recognized District, according to the contractors.

Testing of applicants for jobs in the proposed garment factory at Paris started early Wednesday and was to continue through that day, all of Thursday and through Friday.

New applications forms for driver’s licenses have been issued by the state and are now in use at the local license bureau, Mrs. Shirley Lindsey said Saturday. They require some additional information, such as whether or not applicant has ever taken drivers training.

The new driver’s licenses will also be different. They will be white with a purple tint, while chauffeurs licenses will be green on white. Both types will be approximately double the size of the present driver’s license, and will be made so they can be doubled for placing in billfold or other receptacle.

25 Years Ago Nov. 26, 1987

The Mark Twain Lake Rodeo received 2nd place from the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association. Nelson and Ruby Willingham accepted the award on behalf of the Tri-City Commission, at a banquet held at the Missouri State Fair Inn, in Sedalia Nov. 7. Approximately 23 rodeos were in competition for placement. Voting was done by members of the MRCA. Nina Kay Donavan, 17-yearold 4-H member from Holliday, will attend this year’s National 4-H Congress as a state project winner from Missouri.

Begun in 1983 to assist less fortunate families during the holiday season, “Christmas as Caring” is now in it’s fifth year of helping to make the Christmas season a little happier time for many Monroe County families.

“I was born,” Mark Twain wrote, “the 30th of November 1835 in the almost invisible village of Florida, Monroe County, Missouri.’ On Monday, November 30, 1987 the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site will celebrate the 152nd Anniversary of the birth of one of America’s best loved authors, Mark Twain.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

Lifestyle of Thankfulness I absolutely love Thanksgiving. I love spending time with my family and I love giving God thanks for all He has done. It is a little sad to me that some of us focus more on the sale items we can get the day after Thanksgiving than we do on all the blessings God has given us. It seems like all you see on commercials around Thanksgiving is about what you can get the day after. Why do we skip over Thanksgiving and rush right into Christmas? Why don’t we take time to really be thankful for all we have and all we have come through? Why don’t we let the words and thoughts of thanks marinade with us for awhile?

We should not only take time to be thankful on Thanksgiving but we should live a lifestyle of thankfulness. We need more than one day out of the year to focus on being thankful because being thankful is a vital part of our life as a Christian. It is so easy to focus on the things that are going wrong in our lives or on the things we do not have but when we do this our faith is weakened and our strength is lessened. We need to make a decision to live our life being thankful and every morning when we get up we need to remind ourselves of that decision we made.

It really makes sense when you think about it. If I wake up and complain about having to go to work , I have already started my day with an unthankful heart and in a negative way. But if I wake up thanking God that I have a job, chances are I am going to have a better day because I am coming from a positive place instead of a negative one and then every day I get up to go to work I can be happy because God has blessed me with a job.

Here is another example. If I am going around the house complaining about the door to the shower falling off and how I wish we had another shower door(I am telling on myself), I am going to be unhappy every time I go to take a shower because that door will be there.

But if I instead thank God that I have a place to take a hot shower

and focus on how it is a blessing to be able to walk right from my bedroom to the bathroom to be able to clean myself with soap, wash my hair with shampoo and have a clean towel to dry off when I am done, I will go into the bathroom with an appreciation of what I have instead of focusing on what I don’t.

So I have decided to focus on being thankful every day. I want giving thanks and being thankful to be a habit I can’t break. I want to be addicted to giving thanks.

Why not? If I can make a habit out of drinking a Pepsi than why can’t I make a habit out of giving God thanks? Not only does the latter make God happy but it won’t add any pounds to my mid section.

Most of us are searching for something to make us feel good and something that makes us look good. I believe giving God thanks can make us feel good and I believe giving God thanks with a smile on our face can definitely make us look good.

There are so many things I am thankful for but I want to list a few of them. I challenge those of you who want to make a list but be prepared to be amazed at how truly blessed you are.

I am thankful for my relationship with Christ, my husband, my children, my sisters, my brothers, my dad, my husbands parents, my church, my pastor and his wife, my church family, my health, my family’s health, shelter, transportation, drinking water, clothes, socks, shoes, heat, schools, freedom, love, forgiveness, my faith, the holy spirit, the gospel, my job, my husbands job, my dad’s health, food, Monroe City, the ability to dance, to walk, to play with my children, to spend time with my children and my husband, for hugs, for kisses, the ability and means to give to others, prayer, community, America, the world, advice and wisdom, the ability to learn from those older than me, the ability to learn from those younger than me, the opportunity to write these articles each week and I am thankful for each and every one of you who continue to read them.

God bless you!

Space heaters provide welcome warmth in chilly rooms, but that warmth comes with a big warning label: Each year space heaters cause more than 25,000 residential fires and send 6,000 people to the ER for treatment of burns, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Help stay safe with these recommendations: Give the heater some space. Placing a combustible object too close to a heater is the leading cause of space heater fires. Allow at least three feet of open space on each side of the unit.

Use wall plug-ins. To prevent a fire, never plug a high-wattage space heater into an extension cord or multi-outlet strip.

Opt for quality. When shopping for a space heater, select a unit that has all the latest safety features and the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) label of approval.

Look for cool-to-the-touch housings and automatic shutoff features that turn the unit off if it’s tipped over or overheating. Some units will automatically shut off if their infrared sensors detect a person or object that is too close to the heater panel—making them desirable choices for households with kids or pets.

Never run a space heater in an unoccupied room. Always turn off a space heater when you leave the room and before going to bed, especially if young children or pets could come in contact with the device. Unplug the unit as an extra precaution.

Size matters. Before purchasing a space heater, check the label to see if it is the appropriate size for the area you want to heat.

Keep electric heaters away from dampness. Operating units in wet areas such as bathrooms can cause electric shock. If you need additional heat in a damp location, purchase a heater specifically designed for this purpose.

Safety first. Every room in which you plan to run a space heater should be outfitted with a smoke alarm.

If you’re operating a gas space heater, also opt for a carbon monoxide alarm.

Learn more about safe space heater use from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Savers website.

Holliday Christian Church Pastor David Holmes

Services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, Nov. 18, were opened with the prelude by pianist, Sally Blakemore. Board Chairman, Gerald Roberts, welcomed all in attendance and introduced the morning’s guest lay minister, Michael Guy. A special guest was Tammy Baxter, Opal Johnston’s niece. Collection of items this week for Christmas distribution was paper towels and individual snack foods; on Sunday, Nov. 25, to-go containers and coffee cups will be collected. A sign-up sheet for purchase of poinsettias and Thanksgiving offering envelopes are at the rear of the sanctuary.

Guy Callison announced that a donation to the church was received from Wayne Dry, Margaret Olney’s brother. The donation was in honor of Margaret Olney’s 90th birthday, Pete Olney’s 90th birthday and Mac and Catherine Donovan’s 70th wedding anniversary.

The opening hymn, “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” was sung and was followed by prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Jim McMorris, Ronnie Elsbury, Paul Dean Thrasher and Charlie Hayhurst. Sympathy was extended to the families of Marjorie Lute and Lockie Gene Terrell. Michael led the congregation in prayer for those families and for those seeking God’s healing.

The prayer hymn, “For the Beauty of the Earth”, was followed by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

“Bread of Heaven” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Phil Blakemore and Pete Olney, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Deacons were: Gerald Roberts and Guy Callison. Pastoral prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

“Being Thankful” was the morning message from Michael Guy who referenced scripture from First Timothy 4:1-5. The closing hymn, “We Gather Together” was sung and was followed by prayer and singing of the “Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Bible Study was opened by Jane Akers. Diane Wilson shared a reading, “Can You Sleep When the Wind Blows?”. Jane led the group in study of Mark with Chapters 6 – 8.

Santa Fe Christian Church

Pastor Kenny Sharp

Pastor Kenny Sharp read scripture from Philippians 2: 14-16 for Sunday morning’s message. Be thankful for what God has given us and for what He has in store for us in the future. Jesus Christ lives inside us and NOTHING can take Him out-that is PURE JOY! THANK YOU, GOD!!

Dawn Peak spoke with the children about being thankful, too. She stressed to them that no matter what the circumstance-always give thanks to the Lord.

Prayers were requested for Bill Myers, Martha Peters (aunt of Jo Reynolds), Brenda Vaughn, Gary Beamer, Rusty Johnson, Gabby Sharp, James A. Booth, Kacy Bell, and the family of Marge Lute.

Praises were shared for Luke Olivas being back at work, Polly Olivas celebrating a birthday, and Beauty for Ashes receiving a donation for their prison ministry. Traveling mercies were requested for Sam & Mandy Bish, Don & Kathy Laird, Joni Sharp, and for Sierra Brown leaving on a mission trip.

Paris Full Gospel Fellowship

Pastor Terry Davison

Amy Grant’s hit song, “El Shaddai” is still played on Christian radio and in homes across the country. The song examines some of the Biblical titles of God and Christ, with El Shaddai meaning ‘God Almighty!’: stressing God’s loving supply and comfort. Another name of God mentioned is, “El Elyon”: ‘the most High God, sovereign and supreme’. When El Elyon is accompanied by “Adoni” (similar to our word Adore), it implies ‘Jesus Christ, the adorable Savior’. “Erkamka na Adoni” translates to, ‘I love thee, O Lord, my strength’ in English.

Each of the many names of God carry special meaning, and each demonstrates a deeper character of God well beyond the proverbial white haired, white robed bearded gentleman that many would prefer to discuss. When we study these multiple names, we necessarily get to know God better, and understand more fully just who He is: and our genuine adoration can increase right along with our deeper understanding of God and who he is.

Bethel Baptist Church

Pastor Russell Birge

Good news! Pastor Russell Birge preaches every Sunday morning at 10:45 a.m. at Bethel Baptist Church.

A time of traditions be thankful for Jesus Christ and God’s love - sacrifice was given to the priest for forgiveness - God gave the people a new revelation with Jesus, His Son. Trust in God with the trust of Thanksgiving! Even when things go wrong - accept it with the love of Jesus Christ...knowing there are better things to come and will last in eternal life forever. Jesus paid it all for you and for me! There is treasures in heaven. Don’t let Thanksgiving traditions get you down...There is always Jesus Christ.

Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving is coming soon. Thanksgiving is a time to really think about all the things we have to be thankful for. You may have the same as someone else or some different things that you are thankful for. I look around me and I am thankful for a lot of things like... * having a good home to live in * having a family that cares for me * a bed to sleep on * time to spend together as a family * running my first 5K this year * having a great teacher like Mrs. Ebbesmeyer that teaches me wonderful things There are just a few things I feel lucky to have that other families may not have.

So just take a couple seconds of your day and think of what you are thankful for.

Have a happy Thanksgiving!

If you have a list of what you are thankful for email me at bballforsyth@gmail.com.

Technology changes rapidly. Today, travelers expect current road condition information from the convenience of their smartphone. With that in mind, MoDOT has upgraded its free iPhone and Android Traveler Information app so motorists can get road condition information faster and easier.

“We’ve made the app easier to navigate and added other features users requested,” said Matt Hiebert, MoDOT customer relations production manager.

“We’ve improved the pinch and zoom function and added the ability to create a personalized route list so users can quickly see the routes they travel most often.”

“My Routes” lets users add the routes they travel most to a text report. That way, they can view these roads and highways with a single tap on the screen rather than having to navigate to a frequently traveled region.

The Traveler Information App will also work with iPads and Androidcompatible tablets, another feature requested by users.

To download the new Traveler Information app, just visit the iPhone or Android app stores and type “MoDOT” in the search field.

Missouri Department of Natural Resources Director Sara Parker Pauley presented a $1,000,000 state revolving fund grant to the Missouri Association of Councils of Government (MACOG) on July 24, 2012. MACOG will use the grant for the creation of a revolving fund to address failed or failing onsite wastewater treatment systems throughout Missouri, which will improve the state’s water quality.

The program will provide loans to homeowners seeking to make improvements to, or replace their on-site wastewater systems.

Paris Coyotes to work to complete in every game

Coach Wade Billington returns to the helm of the Coyotes for his fifth season. This season he will be assisted on the bench by coaches Mike Fible and Garrett Thomas.

Coach Billington and his 2012 Lady Coyotes look to improve upon last year’s 4-20 record overall and their 3-7 Lewis and Clark Conference record.

Returning lettermen include Zane Vaughn, Britton Francis, Bryce Ensor, Zane Lockhart, Brant Francis and Slater Stone.

Lost to graduation were Cole Lockhart-All LCC and District, Paul Turner and Josh Ebbesmeyer-All LCC Players to watch for (with coach’s comments) include: Zane Vaughn: Senior forward. Making the move to the forward position this season. Has adjusted extremely well and I expect him to step up and be a big offensive threat and rebounder.

Britton Francis: Senior shooting guard. Britton will be playing big minutes this year as a shooting guard. He is a good shooter who will be able to knock down the open shot and force teams to spread out their defense.

Bryce Ensor: Junior guard. Bryce is expected to step in and fill the role of a player who does the dirty work. I expect him to be a solid defensive player and to be someone who has a nose for the ball and works hard on the glass.

Zane Lockhart: Junior forward: Zane has improved his inside game tremendously this season. He is quick and athletic in the post and will cause matchup problems for a great deal of our opponents.

Slater Stone: Sophomore forward: Slater will be our physical presence. He jumps well and plays physical in the post. He will be a force on offense and defense. I really hope to see Slater be a strong rebounder. I’d like to see Slater and Zane Vaughn compete for the leader in rebounds every game.

Brant Francis: Sophomore point guard: Brant is coming back for his second year at the point guard position. Would like to see him be more a general on

the floor and direct the offense. I anticipate him contributing as a scorer and defensive stopper as well.

Laine Forrest: Freshman guard: Laine will be getting thrown into the mix early. He has made adjustments to high school basketball very quickly. He’ll be a solid contributor on both ends of the floor and I really look for him to be a big part of our team after Christmas.

“We are a group of guys who really enjoy being around each other,” said Coach Billington. “We have a great team chemistry which helps in moving forward to get better. The boys are working extremely hard and are making the changes needed to improve. We believe in what we are doing. Right now we are pretty solid on the defensive end and are getting more consistent on the offensive end of the floor.

We really need to improve on our press offense and crashing the boards.”

“We want to set the tone early,” said Coach Billington referring to his team goals. “As a team we want to get better each day and

each compete in every game we play. We want to have a chance to pull out a victory every night.

Outwork, out play, and out think our opponents. We would like to win a trophy in each of our three tournament and compete for a conference and district title. Most of all we want to become an elite basketball team and program. We want to establish a precedent that we are force to be reckoned with this year and for years to come.”

“I think we can compete in the upper half of our conference,” said Coach Billington. “Salisbury is the obvious favorite with most of their players returning from a 2nd place state finish. Marceline and Fayette will both be tough to handle and Slater will be much improved with a strong Jr. Class. I see us competing with the top teams in the conference and if we can hold our ground at home and win a couple three games on the road we’ll do just that. “ As for his coaching philosophy, Coach Billington noted, “I like to play a game of tempo control.

2012 Paris Coyotes, left to right: First row - Alex Blankenship, Jon Turner, Michael Ensor, Slater Stone, Kyle Popkes, Bryce Ensor and Laine Forrest. Second row Brett Mason, Zane Lockhart, Zane Vaughn, Zach Baker, Britton Francis, Brant Francis and Quin Bartels.

APPEAL PHOTO We’ll be playing man to man defense in the half court with a little bit of zone spotted in to give a different look. Offensively we will continue to run our motion offense. Players are expected to work hard and give their all every single play.”

“I look for this to be an exciting season.,” added Coach Billington. “Early on I think we’ll continue to experience some growing pains, but will still be able to compete and win ball games. By January I think we’ll be able to turn a corner and be very competitive and a tough out for anyone we play.”

Lady Coyotes expectations high Coach Chris Willingham with assistant coach Brant Long will lead the 2012 Blue and White Lady Coyotes. The coaches and players look to better last year’s 15-10 record (7-3 in the Lewis and Clark Conference).

Returning lettermen/All District/Conference players include: Payton Gruber First Team All-Conference, 2nd Team All-District, KRES All-Star, Haley Fredrick Honorable Mention All-Conference, Shelby Dickey Honorable Mention All-Conference, Lauren Embree, Leah Ensor, Nicole Burke, Kaylee Callison, Jill Nobis, Dede Bounds and Josey Ball.

Panthers to use shooting and athletic ability to win

APPEAL PHOTO

Madison Lady Panthers to use depth as 2012 strength The Madison Lady Panthers behind their senior leadership, Bridget Hancock, Elizabeth Boillot, Jami Westfaul, Jessica Stoebe and Hannah Grimsley, look to better last season’s 6-19 record overall with a 2-10 CAC mark.

Coach Jon Link, in his second year at the helm will put an experienced five on the floor as he has returning letter winners Niki Sims, Bridget Hancock, Jessica Stoebe, Liz Boillot, Lindsey Hendren, Hannah Grimsley, Allie Dunkin, Jami Westfaul and Samantha LeGrand.

Lost to graduation were Taylor Salmons and Staci Harlow.

Coach Link looks to the Lady Panther’s depth as their major strength as he notes they can go as deep as a 9-10 man bench.

On the coach’s watch list are seasoned veterans

Boillot, Stoebe, Grimsley., Dunkin, Westfaul and LeGrand.

Coaches Link and Robbie Bates look to their goals to help improve this season. The goals are simple in theory yet complex in practice. The Lady Panthers look to improve each day in practice and to get better in every phase of the game.

“We have a very intelligent and hard working team this year,” said Coach Bates. “I always try to get my athletes into a position where they can be successful.”

Coach Link sees his purple and gold Lady Panthers as in the middle of the CAC Conference this season. He notes that Sturgeon, Glasgow and Cairo could be the class of the conference.

The Lady Panther depth will allow them to play

tenacious defense without fear of fouling as the deep bench will help them out of any kind of foul trouble they may run into.

A meld of solid ball handlers, opportunist shooters, good defense and their aforementioned deep bench could have the Lady Panthers playing deep into the roundball season.

The Lady Panthers start the season with Bevier and host Sturgeon, Cairo, Glasgow, Paris, New Franklin, Brunswick and Keytesville while traveling to Cairo, Community R-VI, Higbee, Keytesville, Brunswick, Glasgow, Sturgeon and New Franklin.

The Lady Panthers will participate in their own tournament, the LaPlata tournament and for the first time the Keytesville Tournament in place of Centralia.

Head Coach Jon Link leads the Madison Panthers into his second season of coaching the purple and gold. Assistant Coach Robbie Bates ably assists link on the sidelines.

Madison looks to better their 12-14 overall and 5-7 in CAC action from last year.

Returning lettermen Blake Hultz, Blake Brown, Austin Freels, Bradley Pierce, Tyler Bennett and Jacob Wandrey look to lead the team with their experience and floor presence.

Lost to gradation were All District and All Conference stars Jacob Youse and Tyler Milner, All Conference player Codey Hendren and lettermen Gavyn

Hinten and Shawn Boillot.

Coach Link lists Hultz, Brown, Freels, Pierce, Bennett and Wandrey on his watch list.

“Our shooting and athletic ability will be a strength,” said Coach Link. “We will try to use our quickness as an advantage.”

The team goals are simple – try to improve every practice and every game.

Coach Link sees Cairo, Glasgow and Sturgeon as the class of the conference.

“We are going to try to get into the top three, but it will take some effort,” said Link.

Coach Link has a simple yet sometimes tough philosophy and that is to put his athletes in the best po-

sition to be successful.

The greyhound Panthers will run and run and then run some more. They will use their speed and defensive quickness to force turnovers to allow for some easy baskets to help them to score.

The Panthers start the season with Bevier and host Sturgeon, Cairo, Glasgow, Paris, New Franklin, Brunswick and Keytesville while traveling to Cairo, Community R-VI, Higbee, Keytesville, Brunswick, Glasgow, Sturgeon and New Franklin. The Panthers will participate in their own tournament, the LaPlata tournament and for the first time the Keytesville Tournament in place of Centralia.
