How Low Can We Go?

S

With the current emphasis on our right to free speech and our insistence that there be few if any limitations to that right comes some responsibility for our own limits and those imposed by common sense and common decency in a civilized society.

This is more difficult and tricky when you are talking about a performance that is either satirical or humorous. It appears that you can attempt to be funny on any subject. For some proof of this tune in to Saturday Night Live or catch Bill Maher on H.B.O. Mr. Maher’s favorite two subjects for humorous ridicule seem to be either God or religious people, sometimes both.

This subject comes to mind as it appears to be the turn of the Mormons as fodder for attempted humorous treatment in “The Book of Mormon” now playing at the Fox in St. Louis. The play is crude, vulgar and downright raunchy along with the parts that are actually funny. The Tony award winning musical is the work of Trey Parker and Matt Stone who also created the potty mouthed little urchins on the Comedy Network’s “South Park.”

Mormons have had a share of publicity in the television series “Big Love” and in the recent presidential campaign of Mitt Romney, a devout Mormon.

To get a feel for the kind of humor displayed in this production there are profanities aimed at God, a young missionary visiting a doctor to have a religious book removed from his backside and some jokes about raping babies.

The Mormon church, the Church of Latter Day Saints, to its credits has issued a formal statement that the real Book of Mormon is a life changer by bringing people closer to Christ. They have further added an upbeat ad for the church in the playbill in the theatre, a first class response.

The Mormons that we have known are good family and community members deserving of our respect not ridicule. We can have both a sense of humor and a respect for each others’ rights of free speech but still be unwilling to justify these kinds of sleaze as acceptable or worthy of our interest or patronage. While we can still make fun of religion, obese people and the disabled with impunity, we have not yet reached the bottom of the trash pile that is offered as entertainment. Some things are just not meant to be funny or made fun of either.

Just Ask Dave...

Buy, Buy, Buy - Locally...

I have always been on the buy locally kick. I think that money spent in town is better than money spent in the big box stores in Moberly, Mexico, Hannibal, Columbia etc.

Now I am the first one to tell you that yes - you cannot buy everything you need in Paris, Madison, Monroe City or even Holliday and Stoutsville.

But you can buy some things here Publisher David Eales and the things you do buy goes a long way in making sure that we have newly paved roads and sidewalks and lights on our streets and all the other things necessary to make Paris the great place it is to live.

Why take all your money to other towns so they have good roads, good sidewalks and all the comforts of home? Take some - not all!

Now, I am not asking you to buy 100 percent in Paris but I am asking you to buy locally at least some items.

The more items purchased in town is more tax monies received by both the city and county to be able to work the magic they do with their budgets to make sure they get the most bang for their (and our) bucks!

Money spent in Hickman’s IGA or Abels Quik Stop or Casey’s General Store or Dollar General or Paris Hardware or Monroe County CO-OP or the local restaurants (mentioned last week) or Paris Equipment or U.S. Cellular or The Flower Shoppe or Shear Creations or Cox’s Barbershop or Main Street Salon or Grandma’s Attic or Zig’s or Paris Pharmacy or Thomas Auto Parts or any of the other places to spend money in town that collects taxes goes a long way to keeping our local community solvent, to keeping the lights on, the streets plowed and paved and the city a vibrant, active, and safe place to live and work.

It is simple things like this that help make communities survive.

Each of us has to do their part to make sure that our cities are still viable for our children. Buying locally is one piece of the economic development puzzle that we can easily fit into the overall scheme of things. So next time you go shopping remember to make sure that you check that list for a few things you can buy locally - it pays dividends!

Have a great week!

Dave

90 Years Ago Feb. 23, 1923

News of Paris Schools: The basketball team lost its first game of indoor season when Leonard court, 29 to 23. Paris had previously won from the same team so the defeat was unexpected.

The only alibi to be offered was the absence of Joe Tawney form the line-up, although the waxed floor of the Leonard court was somewhat of a dinner was served the Paris visitors and the home team reports the victors as being a clean bunch of sportsmen.

This was probably the last game of the indoor season as no other games are scheduled.

New Pastor for Holliday: Rev. Johnson of Yakima, Wash., will begin his pastorate at the Holliday Christian Church, Sunday.

He and will make his home in Granville church preaching two Sundays each month in each place.

New Santa Fe Mail Carrier: Walker Carter will succeed C. M. Paris as mail carrier between Santa Fe and Paris, beginning June 1. He took the contract at $945 a year. Mr. Paris has been on the job for fifteen years and says the expenses has been so great that he is no better off than before he undertook the work.

During this time he has traveled 180,000 miles, equal to more than seven trips around the world. Mr. Paris thinks of buying property and moving to Paris. He sold his property in Santa Fe to Miss Mima Dashner for $1800.

Has Relatves in Monroe County Roy M. Green, who has been serving as chief of the Division of Finance in the Department of Agriculture at Washington, is first cousin to Mrs. Lela Vanlandingham of Paris. This week President Roosevelt promoted him to the position of manager of the hundred million dollar crop insurance corporation Congress recently authorized.

Want More Land For Park: A delegation from Florida and vicinity went to Jefferson City last Thursday to urge upon state authorities the purchase of more land for the Mark Twain Park.

The sum of $20,000 has been set aside for that purpose. A tract belonging to Charley Hamilton and containing several hundred acres is being considered. It lies along the river west of the park. Thus far Mr. Hamilton and the authorities have been unable to agree upon a price for the land. Those who went to Jefferson City were informed that one more effort would be made this week to close a deal and that if it failed the matter would be close the money would revert to the state.

Remodeling Paris Factory Building: With the aid of many volunteer workmen, and some hired skilled help, the former Paris Hatchery building is being remodeled this week for the garment factory that will come to Paris. The second floor is being cleaned up and put into condition for use as a training and storage room.

On the first floor openings are being cut through the brick wall between the two rooms to allow quick access from one room to the other for the regular force of seamstresses that will work on that floor, walls are being cleaned and repainted, lights, heat and restrooms will be installed.

Break Puts Paris Out of Water: A three foot break in the chief 8-inch water line put Paris entirely out of water for several hours Friday night.

The break occurred on the main line leading from the storage tank at a point west of the Meteer place in west Paris. Before the water could be closed off, much of it stored in the big tank had run out.

City workmen labored from 8 p.m.

Friday evening until around 6:30 a.m. Saturday before the break could be repaired and the supply tank again filled and full water service to the town resumed. Even then the pressure was down considerably for a time. It has been one of the most difficult times for

freeze-ups and broken pipes that the town has had in many years.

Start to Rid County of Sheep Disease: A meeting for volunteer sheep scab inspectors and other interested persons was held at the courthouse Wednesday with County Agent Glenn Mutti as chairman.

The inspectors will be calling on Monroe County farmers to visually examine sheep for sheep scab.

Flocks that have symptoms of appear suspicious will be reported to the state veterinarian, who in turn will have an inspection made for positive identification. If the disease is found the flock will be quarantined until such time as it is cleared.

Customers were treated to cake and punch Saturday to mark the Madison Bank’s 100th birthday and the completion of a century of service to the community.

Pine Springs Restaurant under new management: Pine Springs Restaurant and Lounge has been leased by Mr. and Mrs. Steve English of Paris; who took over the management last Friday. Mrs. English is the former Jeannie Simpson and is experienced in the management field. English told an Appeal reporter that a few minor changes in the menu will be mad and some cleaning and painting is now underway. The hours will remain the same at this time.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

Parents Now Grand Last week the first graders celebrated Grandparents day at school. As I was shooing the other children to finish up their breakfast and head to class, the grandparents started pouring into the cafeteria. It warmed my heart as more and more came in each wearing a big smile on their face. You could see both the excitement and satisfaction on the first graders’ faces as they greeted their grandparents.

Seeing the grandparents that day got me thinking about my own grandma and how much I loved spending time with her.

She passed away when I was about ten years old but it is amazing how much I can remember about her. I can remember the red and white polka dot dress she would always dress the Barbie in when we were playing dolls.

She loved polka dots! I can remember hours spent in the basement tap dancing and putting on shows. She loved to dance! I can even remember crackers she would fix for us when we were staying at her house. The crackers were displayed on a silver platter-some were topped with grape jelly, some with peanut butter and the rest were spread with a thin layer of butter. They might have been just crackers to anyone else but to me they were the best snack ever because they were made by my grandma.

My grandma had lost my grandfather to cancer when I was only 4 months old so she spent a lot of time with us. Even though my grandma had a very hard time dealing with his death, she still hung in there and poured herself out to her grandchildren and because of her strength and love and warmth, lives were impacted-my life was impacted. She spoke kind words and

never used her words to tear me or others down. She loved God and always made time for Him in her life. The way she treated gave me a respect, an admiration and a love of older people.

She showed me what being a grandmother is all about. She was nurturing, loving, sacrificing caring, selfless mother who on top of all of that was now GRAND! I want to applaud every grandmother or grandfather who is taking an active, positive role in their grandchildren’s lives. Just know that you can make a huge impact. They are watching everything you do and are learning from not only what you say but how you live your life. I hear a lot of grandparents say that they love being a grandparent and that one of the best things about it is they to give children back to their parents. I know we all laugh when we hear that but I believe that is one of the things that helps a grandparent be so GRAND! Let’s face it. When we are parents we tend to have different outlook on things than a grandparent does. We might over react, get more stressed out about things or have less patience because we are still learning and walking through things. We as parents are dealing daily with our children right and wrong attitudes and correcting behaviors they are displaying. We sometimes lose sight of the big picture and instead focus too much on the small right now situation. A grandparent has already been there and done a lot of that with their own children.

They have wisdom, experience and patience. (And an added perk-they get to send them home to the parents when they want to.)

So to all the mothers and fathers who are now GRANDThank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Hopewell Farms recognized nationally in Association report

Hopewell Farms Livestock LLC, Paris, Missouri, has been recognized nationally by the American Angus Association® for having 13 registered Angus cows included in the Association’s 2013 Pathfinder® Report.

Madison TIMES Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com 4 Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013 “Belle of the Ball” Dinner Theater... Continued from front Holliday Horizons members took tickets, seated attendees and helped clean up including Megan Clampitt, Destinee Clark, Hannah Deaver, Hanna Grimsley, Steven Johnston, Brandy Mauzey, Sammie Painter, Niki Sims, Jenna Stoebe, Jessica Stoebe and Katie Youse.

What was Belle of the Ball? It was the fairy tales of Cinderella and Snow White are lassoed together in a high-kicking western melodrama!

Goldie Miner had to give up her infant daughter, Ashabelle, 18 years ago to eke out a living panning for

gold, but she thought she left her with a good family.

Now she’s returned with plenty of gold for her daughter but finds Ashabelle wears patched clothes and does all the stepfamily’s chores. When Ashabelle isn’t allowed to go to the ball, her mother fixes her right up including a pair of new boots. The next morning Earnest Lee Feelgoode finds the belle of the ball he fell in love with, but before they can wed, Black Jack Ketchum gives Ashabelle a poisoned apple so he can get her gold. But as in all melodramas, good

wins out over evil and after a romp through the audience, there’s a happy, fairy tale ending.

Who could forget the funny lines including when Black Jack Ketchum (Larry Sims) tells Sluice Foot Sue (Trisch Vessar), “isn’t that right Sugar Cookie?”

And Sue immediately fires back, “don’t call me sugar cookie you crumb.”

The “Belle of the Ball” cast, which drew huge rounds of both applause and laughter from the assembled included Christian Hulen (Corporal Earnest Lee Feelgoode); Lauren

Holder (Ashabelle Pitts); Taylor Salmons (Sign Girl); Trisch Vessar (Sluice Foot Sue); Larry Sims (Black Jack Ketchum); Sara Littrell (Auntie Lope); Karla Salmons (Goldie Minor); Sara Agnew ((Ellie Lope); Yvette Wandrey (Candy Lope); Donald Fowler (Jackie Lope); all under the direction of Keith Duvall with Master of Ceremonies Twana Hulen. Costumes for the extravaganza were created by Kris Elsbury.

“The Belle of the Ball” was produced by special arrangement with Eldridge Publishing Company.

Poison control centers record more than two million poisonings annually—most incidents occur at home and common household products are often the culprits.

“The things people get poisoned with are the things they live with every day,” says Amy Hanoian-Fontana, community education specialist for the Connecticut Poison Control Center.

Some of the most dangerous substances can be found in cleaners and chemicals, cosmetics, personal products and medications. Observe Poison Prevention Week 2013, March 17–23, by following these tips to help keep family members and pets out of harm’s way: Store items high in a locked or childproofed cabinet.

Seal and return items to their original storage place when you are finished with them.

Keep products in the original packaging (preferably child-resistant). Transferring products to food or beverage containers can be especially dangerous.

Read labels before using products, particularly medications. If you have poor eyesight, ask your pharmacist to print labels in a larger type. Always wear your glasses and have sufficient lighting when reading instructions.

Do not use a kitchen teaspoon or tablespoon to measure medication.

Never tell children medicine is candy.

Avoid taking two or more medications with the same active ingredients.

Take medicine only as prescribed or recommended.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.

Never give animals food or medication intended for humans unless prescribed by a veterinarian. Even common foods, such as chocolate or grapes, can make pets sick and are potentially lethal.

Avoid combining cleaning products, especially those containing ammonia or bleach. Combining products can generate life-threatening gases.

Work in a well-ventilated area when using cleaning supplies and chemicals.

When working with cleaning products and chemicals, cover your skin with long sleeves, pants, and gloves; wear eye protection; and wash your hands and any items that touched the product.

Clean up spills before your pet does. Anti-freeze is especially dangerous because it tastes sweet to pets.

Point spray bottles and aerosol cans away from you before spraying.

Purchase mouthwash with a low alcohol content.

Be Prepared If you or a family member has been poisoned, call your local poison control center at 800-222-1222. And remember: Accidental poisonings can happen to anyone. “The poison center isn’t just for kids,” HanoianFontana says. “Adults have risks for poison exposure, too.”

Holliday Christian Church Pastor David Holmes

Paris First Baptist Church

Services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, Feb. 17, were opened with a welcome from David Holmes, Pastor, following the piano prelude by Sally Blakemore.

On Sunday, Feb. 24, the church will host the Paris FFA Chapter for worship and brunch following services. Paris Presbyterian Church will serve a soup lunch on Sunday, Feb. 24; cost is $6.00 per person. Holliday School PTO is holding a Trivia Night on Tuesday, Feb. 26. A benefit for Tanner Day and his family will be held at Holliday School on Saturday, March 2, from 4-7 p.m. Activities that evening include a meal and auction of donated items.

The Granville Christian Church will host the county-wide hymn sing on Sunday evening, March 3.

Happy birthday was sung to: Virginia Vanlandingham, Matt Wilson, Eli Bartels, Mairyn Kinnaman, Wyatt Wilson, Shelby Davis and Elizabeth Wilson. “Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus” was the opening hymn; pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri” followed.

Prayer concerns were expressed for: Rumiko Castleman, Jimmy McGee, Denise Ewalt. Sympathy was extended to the families of Mary Evelyn Engle and Bill Schuler. Joys were shared: Pete Olney is doing well following shoulder surgery, Ernie Baker and Kaevyn Kinsman are both feeling better and for a nice trip to Texas and safe return for Johnny and Ann Ragsdale and Gene and Sandy Carter.

The prayer hymn, “God Will Take Care of You”, was sung; singing was followed by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

The communion hymn, “Near to the Heart of God” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Gary Wilson and Phil Blakemore, went forward; deacons were Guy Callison and Johnny Ragsdale. The communion service concluded with sharing of communion, collection of offerings, offertory prayer and the doxology.

Scripture from Romans 10:8-13 was the reference for Reverend Holmes morning message entitled, “God Has Drawn Near to Us”. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind” was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, a reading entitled “Five Important Lessons for Life” was shared by Diane Wilson. Jane Akers led the Bible Study group in study of Mark 14:66-72 and Chapter 15. Services at Holliday Christian Church are held each Sunday beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study. Everyone is welcome.

Kathy Miller opened the service with a piano prelude, “Precious Name”. Robert Hatton gave the invocation.

Chris Day performed musical praises with vocal music accompanied by his guitar, on Saturday night and during morning worship on Sunday, singing, “Amazing Grace”, “The Church’s One Foundation”, “Jesus Paid It All”, and “How Great Thou Art”.

Upcoming Events: (1) Wednesday, Feb. 20, 6:30 a.m., Lenten Breakfast at the Senior Center with Pastor Lyn Connelly speaking. (2) Saturday, Feb. 22 and 23, Disaster Relief Training in Bolivar; Check with Lindsey Mitchell if you wish to attend.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Matthew 8:5-13, entitled “So Great A Faith”. Faith is the most powerful thing in our life. In Matthew 8:5, the centurion asks for help for his servant. He felt unworthy to have Jesus come to his home but asked Jesus if he would say the word and his servant would be healed. The centurion knew about authority. Jesus was astonished at his faith which was much greater than many that came to worship.

The servant was healed because of the centurion’s faith.

We should submit to Jesus’ authority and yield to His word through our faith.

Announcements: Life Books are available at the church and an offering will be received for them next Sunday.

Ellen Kohler will be driving the bus on Sunday morning. An adult over 25 is needed to help with driving on Wednesday afternoon.

The Children’s sermon was given by Cheryl Gholson.

God is supposed to be in the center of our life for us to be well balanced. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be weighted down with disobedience and bad stuff. Jesus will help during bad days and will keep us in this care.

DeDee and John Mitchell led children’s church.

Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

On Sunday, Feb. 10, 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: the passing of Mary Evelyn Engle and there will be a dinner at the church after the funeral this afternoon, thank you to all who brought food for the dinner. The Andy Griffith Bible Study will be canceled tonight. Directory photo sessions are on March 5 and 6 at the church, see Dan Redington for information. There is a 22 passenger van in the parking lot for the church to see; we are praying on whether to purchase it for current and future ministry needs.

This week’s message was titled ‘Being Counted in Christ’ and came from Matthew 25:31-46. This concludes this series on Matthew 25. Jesus begins with the promise of his return. ‘When’ does not mean maybe or a possibility, but a surety that He will return. When He returns it will not be as a baby or suffering servant, but as the King; in His full glory to set on His throne. This is not a throne of debate but of ultimate decision because Jesus is the ultimate judge and worthy to be so.

All nations (individuals from the nations) will be gathered. This is not the invitation of grace and mercy we live under today. This is a command that cannot be ignored. Jesus will then separate the sheep and the goats.

The sheep are called into the Kingdom because they have demonstrated that they were in Christ during their time on earth. They demonstrated this by ministering to others in the name of Jesus Christ and Jesus counted this as ministry unto him.

The goats were sent into the Lake of Fire because they had no proof they belonged to Jesus. If you do not believe in the Lake of Fire, I suggest you reconsider, it sounds as Jesus believes in this place. They may have set in church for decades but they still did not demonstrate they were of Christ. Outwardly they may have looked like a follower of Christ but inwardly they lived a contrary life. Jesus accepted none of their excuses for coming up short. The time of mercy and grace is passed and only justice remains.

Christianity is the only religion that during a man’s time on earth, God wants the man to say to God “Thy will be done. And at the end of that man’s life God will say to the man, “Thy will be done.” You cannot and will not fool God into believing you are His if you are not. While salvation is only of grace by faith in Jesus Christ, Jesus requires evidence that your life had been changed from natural man to spiritual man. Jesus gave of himself and we are to give of ourselves also.

Paris Full Gospel Fellowship

Pastor Terry Davison

We conducted a Retro Church service this week, trying to emulate the type of environment that Jesus shared with his disciples. We opted to forgo the pews and pulpit in favor of mats on the floor. We had a large round loaf of coarse bread in the midst of us during the three hour service. Yes, we know that most seminaries tell us that a sermon should be 22 minutes, but they forgot to tell Jesus, Paul, Moses, and many other Biblical era leaders about it. The lengthy message detailed a number of God’s traits that many people consider to be his faults, such as his jealous and his self deification. We discussed the true character of God, and the level of Truth that his word embodies: in contrast to the limited scope of our mortal perceptions.

Near the end of the three hour ministry, we added meat and cheese to the bread for a first century meal. It was a refreshing change from typical church liturgy, bringing the gospel down to the basics, as Jesus himself taught.

Sometimes we forget just how much man has altered the basic tenets of Christianity: this was a good way to bring us back to the basics, while developing a better understanding of first century ministry.

Paris First Christian Church Pastor Donna Scott Paris First Christian Church celebrated Sunday, Feb. 17, by extending the good news of God’s Love through our worship service. Reverend Donna Scott based her sermon, “More Than a Touch,” on Mark 1:40-45. In this scripture the leper asked Jesus to make him clean, and Jesus stretched out his arms not only healing him but touching his soul. Leading into the sermon was the Chancel Choir’s performance of “O Magnify the Lord,” directed

by Vanessa Forrest.

Participants in the service were: Acolytes Katelyn McGinness and Kendall Mason; Worship Leader Sharon Martin; Elders Everett and Sharon Martin; Diaconate Nadine McKinney, Vanessa Forrest, Roseann Raines and Tammy Mason; Junior Church Leaders Anita Ness and Rumiko Castleman; Song Leader Mary Beth Mitchell; Pianist Betty Hodgman. Sound/Projection Steve Hancock.

Announcements: Wednesday, Feb. 20, 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday Nite Live; 6 p.m. Youth Music; 6:30 p.m.

Choir. Sunday, Feb. 24, Christian Education Committee Member after worship with a light lunch; Presbyterian Church Soup Luncheon, 11-1:30, $6 per person.

Birthdays for the week include: Tara Mitchell, Cole Johnson, Dede Mitchell and Howard Warren. Prayer Concerns included: Alice Baker, Rumiko Castleman, Donna Neale, Donnie Neale, Richard Stone and Bob Stites.

The Thought for the Week: “When God is about to do something great, he starts with a difficulty. When he is about to do something truly magnificent, he starts with an impossibility.” Armin Gesswein.

In the Lenten candlelight ceremony Nancy Seelow gave the meditation and extinguished the first candle.

“What Faith Can Do” was the praise hymn. We heard that both Pat Walton and Jessica Hurd were improving but still in need of prayer. Mary Young will have a birthday on Feb. 18 and Pastor Todd on Feb. 22. Leroy and Mary Young will celebrate a wedding anniversary on Feb. 24.

Our prayer hymn was “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”, with “He Is Lord” as the response. Our sympathy is with the Broyles family on the passing of Lynn’s stepfather, Bob Laudeman.

Sharing the Lord’s Supper was observed with the pastor’s meditation and singing “Love Divine”. Elders were Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow. Carol Norman, Tom Hurley, Greg Harrison and James Parker served as deacons.

Arlen Provancha and the choir presented special music, “I Believe In a Hill Called Mount Calvary”. Cheri accompanied them.

Alisha Eisele asked in the children’s moment if they knew what WWJD meant and explained it was more important to think about “What Did Jesus Do”.

Deuteronomy 26:1-11 was read by Pastor Todd for his message on “Building Relationships”. He learned early that love was the building block for good relations.

Christ calls us to reach out to others. God gives us lasting love and forgiveness.

“Since Jesus Came Into My Heart” was the invitation hymn, closing with “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”.

Santa Fe Christian Church

Pastor Kenny Sharp

For our message Sunday morning, Pastor Kenny Sharp shared eleven phrases and then backed each of them with scripture. For instance, one phrase he gave was “You are so loved by God!--That is a good reason to smile” and then he read 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18. Another one was “Don’t be afraid to talk about Jesus—He talks about you ALL the time and the scripture backing it was Psalm 145: 7.

Tootsie Peak showed the children a copy of a Stop sign and spoke of how the sign keeps us safe on the roads. In life we need Stop when we are going down the wrong path. When this happens, we have to pray for God’s guidance to keep on the right path.

Prayers were requested for Gay Bergthold, Ralph Omer, Tonya Knight, Micah Roth, James A. and Valena Booth, Ila Mae Willingham, Gerald Sharp, Cassie and Luke Olivas, Glenn Philliips, Keith Woodhurst, Bev & Bill Holmes, Elizabeth Brown, Kathy Arnett, the students from the Paris schools that will be traveling to Kirksville this Saturday, the family of Mary Evalyn Engle, Dot Peak and her family, and the family of Marsha Nichols.

The Sunday, Feb. 19, service at Paris United Methodist Church was led by Youth Leader Kody Crider. It began with a skit performed by Kody, Kole Berry, August Hayhurst and Quin Bartels.

The songs for the service were, “Blessed be thy Name”, “Amazing Grace” and “Our God”.

Congestion costs us time and money How would you like to spend a week’s vacation sitting in traffic? According to a study by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the average American urban commuter can expect to experience 38 hours of delay every year, due to congestion.

Though any delay is less than ideal, Missourians fare better than most. St. Louis and Kansas City drivers experience 31 and 27 equivalent hours of congestion delay each year.

Congestion is not limited to major cities. Industrial areas and tourism hot spots are among other sites of slow-downs.

Congestion adds to air pollution and fuel waste.

It’s a concern the Missouri Department of Transportation takes seriously.

“We constantly monitor traffic on state highways.

If an incident occurs, our maintenance crews and urban motorist assist teams respond to assist law enforcement and emergency responders by directing traffic and getting traffic flow back to normal as soon as possible,” said Don Hillis, MoDOT’s assistant chief engineer. “By remaining alert, setting aside cellphones and obeying speed limits, drivers can improve safety and avoid crashes that contribute to traffic delays. Safe and thoughtful habits can help reduce delays for everyone.”

Those congestion-reducing habits include: · Use transit, bicycle or walk when possible. · Pay attention to the roadway and signs. Traffic information on message boards can give you time to change routes. You can’t see this information if you’re looking at your

phone. · Flex work times to arrive outside of the peak traffic hours or consider telecommuting work options if your employer supports it. · Investigate alternate routes. Know several different ways to get to work, school and meetings. You might discover a better route and can be ready with a detour idea if an incident blocks your normal route. · Monitor road conditions. The MoDOT Traveler Information Map at www.modot.org , the free smartphone app provide road conditions and work zone locations. St. Louis’ Gateway Guide and Kansas City’s Scout offer real-time traffic conditions including the location of major crashes or other incidents. · Make use of Missouri’s “Steer it. Clear it” law. If you are involved in a crash and can steer your car, move it out of the driving lane and onto a shoulder or other safe location.

MoDOT makes use of signal timing and infrastructure improvements such as double-diamond interchanges to optimize travel times.

“This study comes at an interesting time,” said Hillis. “MoDOT is in the midst of updating its 20year, long-range plan. We need to know the priorities Missourians want to set for the future of transportation in the state and invite all to join in the planning.”

MoDOT is holding listening sessions, a mobile tour and virtual forums so all those who are interested can actively participate in about our state’s future.

Dede Bounds registers double double in last regular season game In Class 2, District 5 first round action, the second seeded Paris Lady Coyotes defeated seventh seeded Wellsville 65-31.

Payton Gruber hit for 22 points while Haley Fredrick added double digit 12 points.

Behind some tenacious Lady Coyote defense, Paris led 16-5 after the first quarter and with a 23-8 second quarter led 39-13 at the half. Paris took the third quarter 12-10 and after a 16-6 Fayette final period took home the win 65-31.

Scoring: Kaylee Callison 5, Haley Fredrick 12, Josey Ball 5, Payton Gruber 22, Leah Ensor 2, Jill Nobis 2, Shelby Dickey 7, Dede Bounds 8, Audrey Vitt 2.

Three pointers: Gruber 4, Ball 1.

The Paris Lady Coyotes finished the season versus Fayette on Senior Night with a 57-32 win to finish with a 15-9 record overall and 6-3 in conference.

Dede Bounds ended the regular season with an 11 point, 12 rebound double double. Payton Gruber led all scorers with 13 points while Haley Fredrick hit for 9 points and cleaned the glass for 9 boards. Gruber led the team in steals while Lauren Embree dished out a team high 4 assists.

The Lady Coyotes led 1412 at the first break and 2016 at the half. A 19-7 third quarter sealed the win and they closed out the game with an 18-9 final stanza for the 57-32 final.

“We had a great Senior night against Fayette,” said Coach Chris Willingham.

“We had solid contributions from everyone last night.

Our seniors stepped up and played very well last night.

Those young ladies have worked extremely hard for our program for the past four years and deserved to finish their home basketball careers on a high note.

Our underclassmen played a big part in their success this season and during the game last night. I am very proud of our girls for their effort last night. We had a very good first quarter offensively last night, but struggled defensively. To Fayette’s credit they did a very good job offensively and do some things that make them hard to guard.

In the 2nd quarter, partly to my fault, I challenged the girls to pick up the defense and be very aggressive on offense. I could see it in our team that we were trying so hard to extend the lead and get on track on both ends. We were trying to hard to make things happen, and forced the issue far too much on both ends.

We took a 4 point lead into the locker room at half.

At halftime we talked about a few adjustments and getting refocused on the rest of the game. We came out and played a great half of basketball. Offensively and defensively we played very good basketball. We took a 16 point lead into the 4th quarter and extended it for a 25 point win. It was a special

night for our team and for me personally as it was my 100th career varsity win.

All the credit for that goes to the young ladies and young men that I have had the opportunity to coach.

This group of seniors and this basketball team in particular have been a part of a lot of those wins. This group of seniors has been a part of 55 of those wins during the past 4 seasons.

It has been a true pleasure to coach these seniors and I am very excited about what could be in store for the rest of our season. I want to thank our seniors, Leah Ensor, Lauren Embree, Payton Gruber, Shelby Dickey, Nicole Burke and Haley Fredrick. Great

Free dental screenings offered by Health Dept.

The Monroe County Health Department, in conjunction with Long Branch Dental Group, offered free dental screenings to 134 students at the Holliday, Madison and Middle Grove schools on Friday, Feb. 8. Dental hygienist Nicole Bentley, from the Long Branch Dental office in Moberly, visually inspected each student’s mouth and made recommendations on future care. Recommendations were sent home with participating students for review. All students were provided “goody bags” that included toothbrushes, toothpaste and oral health activity booklets. Rita

Arnett,LPN of the Monroe County Health Department assisted with the screenings. According for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tooth decay (dental caries) affects children in the United States more than any other chronic infectious disease. It is anticipated that this screening will be held again at Holliday, Madison and Middle Grove next year in February, when it will be National Children’s Dental Health Month. Long Branch Dental Group has offices in Moberly, Macon and LaPlata.
