Monroe County Sheriff Deputy Sergeant Sue Walker saw what she perceived to be a problem, namely bullying, and did something about it.

The first thing Sergeant Walker did was to hold a well-attended, comprehensive presentation at the Paris R-II Elementary School on bullying for parents and staff in December 2012.

Next, Sergeant Walker brought in Phil Chalmers, a nationally known authority on school shootings and the cause and effects of bullying. Chalmers and musical guest rapper LG Wise held a series of assemblies on Friday, March 1. First the duo presented the Chalmers “True Lies” assembly at Madison at 9 a.m., followed by the same

presentation at the Paris R-II High School, at 1 p.m. In the evening, at 7 p.m., Chalmers and Wise repeated the assembly this time for parents, staff and any other interested parties.

Chalmers, who also is a crime television personality, discussed bullying, crime prevention, teen violence and substance abuse.

His stated goal is “to destroy the lies that are killing this young generation and bring truth in an in-your-face manner that works.” Chalmers has interviewed more than 200 teen killers, school shooters, mass murderers, serial killers and sexual predator killers. Chalmers noted that he has appeared on the Montel Williams Show, debated

the Insane Clown Posse on the Howard Stern Show and appeared on several crime shows on cable television.

Chalmers’ student presentation was fast-moving, factually based and is definitely geared to the younger, MTV and video game generation.

Also on hand was guest rapper LG Wise who presented his moving testimony to the assembled mixed in with some hip hop style rhymes.

The evening presentation was a more of a, “parents this is what you need to understand” assembly.

Chalmers presented a laundry list of statistics to balance his discussion including: Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each

year.

Approximately 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying.

One in seven students in grades K-12 is either a bully or a victim of bullying.

Fifty-six percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.

Nationwide, over twothirds of students believe that schools respond poorly to bullying, with a high percentage of students believing that adult help is infrequent and ineffective.

OPINION

JUST A THOUGHT

UST ASK DAVE...

From the desk of the Editor

Thought I Had Heard It All

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR

BY LISA TALTON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

appeal@parismo.net

The Times They Are A Changing (to paraphrase Bob Dylan) As you can see if you picked up this week’s Monroe County Appeal - we have changed. We have a newly designed front page and the inside pages have been updated to new fonts, a new size and new headings.

We are no longer laying out the Monroe County Appeal here in Paris. The layout has been outsourced to let us increase our coverage of local breaking news and evening events.

With change sometimes comes even more changes. As of today, the deadline for the Monroe County Appeal will be 4 p.m., on Friday. Church articles will be accepted until 3 p.m., on Monday.

This will give the office staff time to put together and format the articles and list to be sent for layout. We apologize for any problems that this change makes for our submitters.

I soon will be emailing our church submitters with a few new guidelines to help better focus our church page and allow us to consolidate the page into a single page where all our churches can post their church news.

We will still be providing the same services, working just as hard to make sure we provide a quality product and provide the same excellent customer service that we have come to be known

for.

Some times I cannot believe the conversations my children are having with one another. I almost think they know I am listening and they are trying to get a reaction out of me. My three sons never seem to get tired of talking about bodily functions. You would think, “you heard one you heard them all” but not with these three. They will add just a few more details to a very over told story just to see if they will get some extra laughs from the fellas or some more “that’s gross, or STOP” from their sister.

It seemed this past weekend bodily functions were the topic of discussion more than normal and let me tell you the normal in my opinion is already WAY too much!!! So we are at the house and the boys are in the other room playing when I hear one noise after the other and then laughing upon more laughing upon more laughing. Okay I understand we are all

Next week is our regional issue. This month’s regional will focus on “Home Improvement.”

As always it will be delivered to every household in both Monroe and Ralls County. We look forward each month to this issue of the newspaper as it is a time for us to showcase our paper.

The snow has caused havoc this past week as downtown two awnings were destroyed and other local buildings in both the Paris and Madison area have major roof damage.

My hat goes off to neighbors helping neighbors as I saw example after example of neighbors clearing driveways and cleaning off awnings downtown to make sure they were still standing at the end of the snow and the end of the day. This is always the reason I hear people saying they live in a small town in rural America - neighbor helping neighbor, friend helping friend.

Have a great week!

MY TURN

Purity Test or Enlarge the Tent?

The meeting of Democrats at Hannibal must have been deemed a rather dull off year event by the Post Dispatch at least. The St. Louis paper was critical of Governor Jay Nixon because his keynote address was apparently not sufficiently partisan to suit their reporter. Criticism of the Governor by the paper is nothing new either in news reporting like this swipe or on the editorial page. But their coverage of Mr. Nixon raises interesting questions about how partisan or conformist to liberal or conservative generally accepted principles and beliefs does one who aspires to be an elected official have to be in their speeches and writings? Or even more basic is the question of how far can a politician or party member stray from those general principles and still be considered a “real” party member?

In a state like Missouri can Governor Nixon exercise some judgment in declining to pour on partisan criticism on Saturday and still try to work with a Republican legislature next week or is he refused that option? Missouri Democrats are not as conflicted as national Republicans on this issue.

After the 2012 election some Republicans are still

looking for placement of blame and have settled on a lack of party purity and no more moderates like John McCain or Mitt Romney should be nominated. This group would also expel all heretics and this means any moderate RINO’s ( Republicans in name only) and present Establishment members of the Party. This is causing many Tea Party groups to attempt to take over established Republican Party organizations in order to maintain or gain political relevance in the future.

A growing number of Republicans are edging away from perceived extremist positions like denying global warming and never raising taxes and replacing those positions not with liberal or even moderate views but with creative policy proposals that can adapt long held principles to changing circumstances.

Democrats for their part must do the same and be even more accepting of their rural brothers who may be firmly pro-life and pro-gun as true Democrats and be willing to consider them as candidates for higher office. It is a process in both parties that can be observed all over our state and in our county as well and it will have important consequences.

LISA TALTON made a certain way and sometimes we do make noises but they were taking it a little too far. It seemed like it was never going to end.

I finally told them that they were trying to make the noises and they needed to stop or go in the bathroom. My youngest son said, “But mom we are saying excuse me.” Then the other one added, “Yep every time mom. We are saying excuse me every time.” So I tried to explain to them that even though in the smaller picture they were using their manners, in the bigger picture they were sooooo not using their manners. I told them it is one thing when you

As Time Goes By

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

90 Years Ago March 9, 1923 Sell the Old Light Plant: The machinery of the old light plant at Paris has been sold to a company that handles second hand engines and dynamos for $1,400.

This is better than several of the council expected. The new plant is expected to begin operation this week. New Blacksmith at Strother: Tom Mownes of Victor will open a blacksmith shop at Strother in a few days. He will use the same building formerly occupied by Rolla Horton who has moved his blacksmith business to Perry. County Court News: Mrs. Ruby Crow was sworn in as deputy county collector, Monday. W.W. Barnes has been mad tax attorney for the county. New road overseers were appointed by the court as follows: C.E. Sparks, district 13; Travis Rouse, 19; Mr. Heathman, 20; W.A. Littrell, 8; Leander Heckart, 9.

Another Landmark Burns: The livery barn at Holliday, owned by Jake Heathman, was destroyed by fire, Friday night of last week. A part of the barn has stood for nearly half a century.

Mr. Heathman carried $800 insurance on the building and $500 on the contents. Included in the loss was one horse 4 buggies, two 5 tons of hay, 25 bushels of corn, a ton of cane, quite a lot of harness and some implements.

75 Years Ago March 10, 1938 Harry Blanton Reappointed: Harry C. Blanton, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Blanton, formerly of Paris, was reappointed United State Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri by President Roosevelt, Monday. Harry made a very gratifying record during his first term, gaining nationwide fame for the skill with which he prosecuted Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench and her confederates in the Federal court in St. Louis. He is generally rated among Missouri’s very best lawyers.

Believe It or Not: Jack Vaughn, who returned Saturday from the Mayo hospital in Rochester, Minn., has one-third less stomach than when he left Paris several weeks ago. He spent Monday downtown and told inquiring friends how lucky they are to have stomachs to fit their needs. Pressed for particulars, Jack said a normal sized man must eat oftener when his stomach capacity is reduced. With one-third less capacity he finds it necessary to eat twice as often. This sends him to the table six times a day.

It also sends his wife to the kitchen that often.

Mrs. Vaughn, who was with him at Rochester, also came home Saturday.

Jack was staged a marvelous recovery from a very serious operation.

people have a hard time seeing when their eyelids are closed.”

Then the other one tells me that he is the one that really needs glasses. He said that the reason he sometimes does not do good on his math is because he needs glasses. Now I could understand if he was writing information from the board and couldn’t see it or if he had problems reading his paper but he doesn’t.

He said that if he had glasses he would never get any of his problems wrong in math. He thinks that glasses will make him smarter. I had to break the news to him that glasses do not have some kind of super power that will make him smarter or do better on his math.

When I think I have heard it all they surprise me with yet another interesting thought or idea. I am still getting use to the inter workings of these little boys and even the big boy (my husband). But I can definitely say they make life very, very interesting!!!

make a noise every so often but it is quite another to purposefully over and over again try to make as many noises as humanly possible and then to try and make it the loudest or longest noise in the history of all noises.

Let me move on to another interesting conversation we had in the car.

One of the twins friends had gotten glasses recently and also their big brother who they adore wears glasses so I am guessing that is why they both have this sudden interest in getting glasses. One of the boys tells me he needs to go get his eyes checked to get some glasses because he can’t hardly see. First he tells me that he can not see anything when his ____ are closed. At first I did not understand what he was saying. I kept asking him, “You can’t see anything when your what are closed?” Then finally after a couple times of him saying it I realized he was saying lids. I then say, “You mean the lids of your eyes?” He says, “Yes”. I started laughing and said, “I think most

ends, son or Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Arends, and Sheryl Hinds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvia Hinds, were crowned king and queen at the annual Confetti Ball held Friday night in the school gym. They were crowned by the retiring king and queen, Kent Blades and Priscilla Freeman, before a background of red fan trimmed with white lace.

City Adds 15 Acres to Cemetery: At the City Council meeting Tuesday evening, fifteen acres was bought from Ray Blades, for $5,00 for addition to the Walnut Grove Cemetery, now rapidly being filled. The land, formerly owned by Mrs. Ruth Fowler of Kirksville, lies just across the road to the north from the present cemetery.

Paris School District Host a Junior High School Basketball Tournament: The Paris School is host to the Junior High Tournament being played all this week Monday through Saturday. There are four games each night Monday through Friday beginning at 5:30 p.m. with two third place games and two consolation games Friday night and the two championship games Saturday night. Junior High ball is played with 6 minute quarters.

25 Years Ago March 10, 1988 Barnetts add to Paris High School scholarship fund: Dr. and Mrs. F.A. Barnett have announced the gift of an additional $9,000 to scholarship

funds which they established in 1980 for graduating seniors at Paris High School. With fluctuating interest rates, the Barnetts were concerned that there wouldn’t be enough principal in the fund to award $2,000 in scholarships every year to worthy college bound seniors.

Lady Coyotes end season in District: The Varsity girls traveled to North Shelby on Feb. 23 to play their first round in the district games against Cairo, capturing the victory 55-23.As the night began, the girls were determined to do their best as they ended the first quarter ahead 10 to 8. The second quarter followed ending 22 to 11, the Coyotes still ahead.

As the third quarter progressed, the Coyotes pulled furthered ahead 43 to 18, and went on to the night with a final score of 55 to 23.

Hobbies take shape at Pearson home: Shirley Pearson has recently opened a small shop in her home with crafts and Watkins product. Shirley has worked in crafts for several years as a hobby and now has turned it into a business. She does gifts for all occasions including sewing, crocheting, pretty punch, wood burning and many other things.

Paris R-II Anatomy students visited the University of Missouri’s cadaver laboratory on March 1, 2013. Thus far in their Anatomy course students have studied the Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems. At the cadaver lab, students got to explore all the human body systems by investigating dissected bodies, which are used by MU’s medical school. The field trip was a great learning experience for the students, as they got to see real specimens of the systems they have studied in school and they got to see what type of work would be done if they chose to pursue a degree in medicine.

Madison Junior and High School drama department’s production of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA” will be performed on Saturday, March 23, at 6 p.m., in the high school gymnasium.

The story is about a cantankerous grandfather, ill tempered and paranoid, who is deter-

mined to think that his grandkids, three young adults, are trying to kill him for their inheritance ($642 and a postcard collection).

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-by-step 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.

He sang and played on his guitar, “Above All”. Cheryl Gholson led the congregational singing.

The Annie Armstrong Home Mission video was shown. The presentation was about a missionary working in the Wicker Park area in Chicago. Many youth were without supervision and he brought them together with a purpose – to help them spiritually. The special offering you give this month will be used to help missionaries such as these.

Mark Bell gave the children’s sermon. He showed a pillow with a design of Noah’s Ark. He also showed them a teddy bear. Sometimes we can be deceived by simplicity. We learn that the ark was a boat about 450 ft long. The teddy bear was cuddly and not like a live, hungry, ferocious animal with claws. Noah obeyed God and saved his family and the animals. Mary Treat led children’s church.

Hebrews 11:7 was the

M

text for Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon entitled “By Faith Noah Became an Heir”. In Noah’s day, sometimes like the present, everything looked normal but the earth had become evil and corrupt. Even though his actions may have been ridiculed, Noah had only one focus and motivation – to obey God through faith. Today, we must look beyond our selfish needs and what everyone thinks about us and trust and love God and determine what his will is for our lives. Our walk with God may lead us out of our comfort zone and may sometimes be difficult but God will lead us.

On March 16, a Hymn Sing will be held at Crooked Creek Church, at 7 p.m. Peggy Evans gave information about the retirement home ministry for the church.

This week’s message was titled ‘God is always on His Throne” and came from Ruth chapter 2. We all need to remember that God is moving in our lives through good and hard times. Naomi recognized God as sovereign but did not realize God was going to help her and Ruth. As Ruth goes out to find a field to glean from (gather leftover grain) she will see how God moves others to help His purposes. Ruth was directed to the fields of Boaz by God’s grace. Having God move in your life is better than any type of luck that could be believed in. Boaz did not have to do anything for Ruth to satisfy the Law ex-

cept let her glean. Yet, Boaz took care of Ruth’s physical safety and needs. Boaz also fed Ruth and provided water for her. Ruth asked Boaz why he was doing this.

Boaz did these things for Ruth because he was a godly man and a close relative of Naomi’s dead husband. A better reason for Boaz to so this is that he had heard how Ruth had treated Naomi since her father-in-laws death, that she had moved to Bethlehem with Naomi and had left her country, family, and the false gods of the Moabites. Ruth’s past had caught up with her through the gossip of the town in chapter one. God used the gossipers’ sin to help provide for Naomi and Ruth.

Boaz went the extra mile and invited Ruth to stay with his female servant during the harvest and ordered his workers to help Ruth have a successful day in gleaning. Ruth collected about 25 pounds in one day. One would have to give credit to God for the actions of Boaz. If Boaz had not been a close follower of God the outcome for Ruth may have been quite different. Boaz has Ruth stay through the wheat harvest also. Naomi learns of all this when Ruth comes home and her attitude changes with her situation. She blesses Boaz for what he had done and sees hope for the future. Her hope was there all the time in God but she saw her circumstance instead of God’s goodness. We all are guilty of walking by sight and not by faith at some time in our life. Realize God is still on His throne working things out for the good of those who love Him.

Bullying Assembly u Continued from page 1A

One out of 10 students drop out of school because of repeated bullying.

According to Chalmers, harassment and bullying have been linked to 90 percent of school-shooting incidents and possibly 200 school shootings have been stopped because people have recognized the signs of bullying and changed the possible future.

Chalmers could not stress enough to the students, “if you see or hear someone being bullied tell someone right then. We must have zero tolerance!”

“Juvenile homicide is a multi-cause crime,” said

Chalmers at his evening presentation. “But still one of the top factors is an unstable home life and bullying.”

Chalmers informed the evening presentation, in closing, that he has named Sergeant Walker to his “Speaking Team” and Sergeant Walker noted that PHS student Hannah Bartels is leading a “Street Team.”

Sergeant Walker was quick to add that as a member of the speaking team it will help bring Chalmers back each year to present his program to the students and parents.

2013 Relay For Life u Continued from page 1A members will be on hand to answer questions.

Mark your calendars now for the “Spaghetti Luncheon” and help kickoff the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe Life!

The 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County will take place on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23.

According to the American Cancer Society - one person can make a difference.

Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which began in Tacoma, Wash. In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office and to show support for all of his patients who had battled cancer.

He decided to personally raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.

In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He ran for more than 83 miles.

That first year, nearly 300 of Dr. Klatt’s friends, family, and patients watched as he ran and walked the course.

Throughout the night, friends donated $25 to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer.

While circling the track those 24 hours, Dr. Klatt thought about how others could take part in his mission to fight cancer. He envisioned a 24hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Over the next few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event, known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.

In 1986, with the help of Pat Flynn – now known as the “Mother of Relay” – 19 teams took part in the first team Relay event on the track at the historic Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescribable spirit prevailed at the track and in the tents that dotted the infield.
