Samantha Painter, Danielle Herrin, Peyton Hook named 2013 Miss Madison Queens

The new 2013 Miss Madison Samantha Painter was crowned before a large crowd at the 2013 Miss Madison Pageant on Saturday, April 20, at Madison C-3 Schools. Also crowned 2013 Queens were Junior Miss Madison Danielle Herrin and Young Miss Madison Peyton Hook.

The evening’s events opened with the candidates and last year’s queens dancing, with umbrellas and boots, to, “Singing in the Rain.”

The 2012 Queens including Miss Madison Jessie Walter, Junior Miss Madison Maddison Breid and Young Miss Madison Katie Thomas were introduced to the assembled.

To strains of “Under My Umbrella” the candidates presented themselves in casual wear.

Jessie Walter and Jessica Stoebe lip synced to “It’s Raining Men” to a standing ovation finish.

After a short intermission the candidates were presented in their evening gown wear.

Before the new Miss Madison was crowned the retiring queens bid their farewells.

“When I entered the Miss Madison Pageant last year I never thought that I would be standing before you now as your former Miss Madison and Miss Congeniality,” said retiring 2012 Miss Madison Jessie Walter. “These unexpected titles have been a true blessing that I never knew I was in need of.”

Walter noted that, “ I was able to experience many opportunities because of the belief others had in me.”

“It never failed, every time I spent

helping others, they actually helped me.,” added Walter. “I felt a feeling of gratitude and appreciation towards human nature and I know that this title is more than a shiny crown and a big smile, it is all about giving twice as much as you have been given.”

“I do not wish to say goodbye but instead say thank you, thank you, thank you for all the opportunities I have been given,” said Walter in conclusion.

“When I was crowned Junior Miss Madison 2012, I was shocked,” said 2012 Junior Miss Madison Maddison Breid. “I remember standing there a

few seconds after they called my name and thinking… wait… did they really just say my name.”

“As my time as Junior Miss Madison ends, I would like to thank my Mom for buying all the dresses and countless bobby pins just in case Jess, Katie or I had a crown emergency,” added Breid. “I wish it was brand new and I had this year to do all over again. The time I spent as Junior Miss Madison was so memorable – I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

TWO TORNADOES TOUCH DOWN SOUTHEAST OF PARIS A slow moving storm system brought severe weather to the local area during the afternoon and evening hours of Wednesday, April 17. Several rounds of heavy rainfall resulted in areas of flash flooding during the night of April 17 and the day of Thursday, April 18.

The thunderstorms that moved over parts of southwest and south central Monroe County, spawned a series of brief tornado touchdowns from 11 miles southwest to two miles south of Paris.

Chats With the Kiddos

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Our town... On Sunday morning, Woops (my cat) and I were having coffee and had “Meet the Press” on the television for noise as I was working on my laptop.

That is when I heard Peggy Noonan, an accomplished author and columnist for the Wall Street Journal utter the following words, “Towns are full of people who care about each other and act together.”

That got me to thinking - do we act together?

Do we care about each other?

The answer was an easy one - of course we do! If we didn’t why would someone you may not even know, risk their life to go out into a torrential rain to make sure that if there is a tornado or other weather related problem, that you can be notified and remain safe.

If not, why are there emergency responders, mostly all volunteers, risking their lives for the community at large?

(One of the numerous stories to be related out of the Texas Fertilizer fire, was that the small town, not unlike Paris or Madison, lost one-third of their volunteer fire department in the explosion - friends, neighbors, family members.)

If they do not care why do individuals, such as

Watch for details) to not only remember him but to raise awareness for others.

I care.. You care... We Care... Each of us in some way whether complicated or simple touch each other in the community in some way or another.

That is why we call this small slice of ground in northeast Missouri home.

If you are not involved in something it is easy to become involved. There are numerous sororities, organizations and clubs here that do great work!

MY TURN The Woodpecker Lesson It was my first gun, a single shot .22 caliber and I was a proud seven or eight year old on one of our many hunting trips.

Game was scarce and I was getting bored and left the hunt to the grownups.

But I did turn my rifle to smaller game, a woodpecker high up in a tree nearby and made a lucky shot on a very small bird.

My dad was not pleased with my marksmanship or my target and I had a long time without my rifle to consider respect for birds, animals and rules.

Many of my friends here were born to respect both farm animals as part of their livelihood or food chain and for the animals they hunt and the wild ones that turn up near their homes. This respect is heightened by the time and effort that many local kids put into showing their animals and from their daily contact with those animals and birds raised by their families.

Most will grow up with an

aversion to seeing animals suffer if they are sick or wounded and being cruel to these creatures is not in their history or makeup.

So when we hear about older and sick dogs being turned out on country roads when winter comes because their owners don’t want to feed them or pay vet bills, it is not our neighbors who are guilty.

Nor do they give chicks or ducklings to their small kids for Easter and not know or care how to raise them. And when we hear of people who leave tied or caged animals to die when fire or flood approaches we do not suspect our neighbors of this blatant cruelty. For these ways are not our ways, we have learned from our fathers and mothers and theirs to respect our animals, our culture and our rules written and unwritten. And it is unfortunate that even one small woodpecker is sacrificed for our learning.

Oh how I love, love, love the conversations I have with my children. I think it will be one of the things I miss most when they leave the nest. They have such an interesting way of looking at things and expressing themselves. I want a share a few of these chit chats with you. *My youngest son: “Boy, I sure wish we lived back in the day when all you had to do is go step on the land first to own it. I would go around all over the place stepping on this land, stepping on that land and owning all kinds of land. Oh yeah, you see that land over there? I would definitely go step on that. And yeah that land way up on that hill-I would step all over that land. It would be so easy! Wow! That would be so awesome!” *Another day we were coming home from out of town when my husband had this daddy/son conversation with our youngest: Daddy: “When we get

LISA TALTON

to the house, I want all of you to gather up the sticks and do some things around the yard for me.”

They did not appear to be enthused and I think I heard a few sighs before my son chimed in.

Son: “Hey dad. I’ll pick up every single stick no matter how many there are for twenty dollars.”

Daddy: “I don’t think so.”

Son: “For one dollar?”

Daddy: “How about you do it and I will give you a place to lay your head?”

My son got really excited and said “Okay.

I’ll do it for that.” Then there was a long pause.

My husband and I were chuckling under our breath because we knew he wasn’t sure what that meant. We knew what was coming next. He was getting ready to find out just what his daddy was talking about.

As Time Goes By

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

90 Years Ago April 27, 1923 County Road Work Begins: Monroe County’s five large road machines are manned with crews and ready to begin the spring and summer campaign for better traveling facilities. Rains over the county first of the week delayed the start, making the roads and ditches muddy.

The caterpillar is manned by Oakley Donaldson and Frank Foreman. It pulled into Judge Lipps’ last Saturday and will start work within a few days.

The Avery outfit is at Middle Grove with Claud Holohan and Joe Branham handling it.

About a week’s work in the vicinity had been done by this machine.

The Oil-Pull outfit is in Madison under the management of Kelly Farrell and L.H. Maxey, and will start work within a few days.

The twin City tractor and outfit has done about a week’s work near Turner schoolhouse, where it is parked now. Ed Level and Sam Stevenson are running this machine.

The Altman-Taylor is at Leesburg under the management of Gene Williams and Horace Bybee, who will start it on roads there in a few days.

75 Years Ago April 28, 1938 New Engine Being Installed: The new 300-horsepower Fairbanks-Morse engine for the Paris Municipal Power and Light Plant arrived the first of the

week in charge of an installation engineer from the company headquarters, and work of installing it began immediately.

When installed and ready for action, the Paris plant will have power to spare and will always have any auxiliary engine, which can be turned on in case of trouble to carry the maximum load required.

It was purchased at a cost of over $20,000, and a smaller engine which has become inadequate for the town’s needs has been dispensed with.

May Develop Arnold Place: David Bear and David Arnold have laid out the large vacant lot in front of the John Arnold house on West Locust Street into building lots 64x110 feet, and are attempting to sell them to a select list of purchasers, with a view of developing a restricted residential section in that block. The tentative plan calls for lots facing east and west toward a center street which would end in a circle in front of the Arnold home.

Wabash Trying New Power: The Wabash Railroad is trying out a gasoline burning engine on its passenger and mail run through Paris, in place of the coal burning engines that have been in use since soon after the railroad was first built.

Officials believe it will result in cleaner passenger trains and more economically operated ones. The first gasolinemotorized train went on the Hannibal-to-Moberly run Monday.

than to run in the house.

Stop being so loud and stop making all those crazy noises.”

My son: “But mom I can’t help it.”

Me: “Yes you can help it and you need to go sit down some where and calm down.”

My son: “It is not my fault. My shirt is making me act this way.”

Me: What do you mean your shirt is making you act that way?”

My son: “Mom, look what it says.”

Just then I looked down at his safari looking shirt and saw that it said “Born to be wild”.

Me: “Please if that is the case I need to get you a shirt that says, “Born to be quiet, do what mom says, keep your room clean and flush the toilet after each use.”.

Son: “What do you mean you’ll give me a place to lay my head?”

Daddy: “I will give you a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head.”

Son: “But wait a minute daddy. I already have that.”

Daddy: “Exactly!”

Needless to say, he got home that day and went around the yard and picked up all the sticks like he was asked. I guess you can’t blame him for trying to earn a couple dollars. *I had just gotten home from work and was attempting to fix dinner when my son came in.

He was being extremely loud and running back and forth from the kitchen to the living room all the while making obnoxious noises. Now on another day I might have had more patience but this day I was very, very tired so everything he did seemed to be magnified by a hundred. (Any parents out there know what I’m talking about?) I was sooo tired I didn’t even feel like saying a word to him. I thought maybe I could just ignore him and he would stop but the lack of attention I was giving him only seemed to fuel his already hyper behaviors. So then we had this conversation: Me: “You know better

Monroe Manor seeks bids for new therapy building By Denny Hollingsworth After years of consideration and months of specific planning, the Monroe County Nursing Home District board of directors unanimously approved a motion Monday night (April 8, 2013) to seek bids in order to construct a 3,550-square feet addition to Monroe Manor, to house a physical and occupational therapy complex.

Board president Guy

Callison, who has spearheaded the endeavor, said it has taken a long time to get to the point of bidding the project, however, the end product will be well-worth the wait.

“This (the new addition) has been discussed, considered, debated, calculated and thought-out for at least seven years,” Mr. Callison said. “It’s probably better we waited until now because today we know exactly what kind of facility we

need, and with the new building in place, Monroe Manor will be well prepared for the future.

The board president declined to reveal what he thought the cost of the project would be, saying the board would wait to see what the bids were.

“We’ve got an idea what the project will cost, but let’s wait and see what the bids are. They may be more than what we anticipate, hopefully they’re lower.”

The bid advertisement, on the classified page in this week’s Appeal, and will run again April 24, seeks sealed bids for an all metal building, site preparation, plumbing, concrete installation with insulation under floor and around perimeter, brick veneer, electrical, heat pump, air-conditioning and duct work, wall and ceiling insulation, sheet rock installation and finishing, suspended ceiling, interior painting, doors, windows and trim installation, automatic doors and a sprinkler system.

According to the ad, specifications and the condition of bidding,

Drawing of new therapy building

together with the printed form on which bids must be made, or information concerning the bidding process, may be obtained from Shari Embree, administrator, Monroe Manor Nursing Home, 200 South Street, Paris, MO 65275.

The bids must be presented to Ms. Embree no later than 4 p.m. May 1.

Mr. Callison said regardless who wins what bids, the Manor’s board is adamant both local workmen and building suppliers must play an important role in the addition’s construction.

“We’ve got highly qualified construction firms, individuals and suppliers within Monroe County,” the board president said, “and we

expect they will all play a major role in this project. The district’s taxpayers will be paying for this and it’s only fair the money stays as local as possible.”

Manor administrator Shari Embree said plans call for the Manor to use 25-percent of their property tax reserves as a down payment on the project and borrow the remainder from a local

bank. The loan will be paid off using a portion of the annual property taxes the facility receives.

Mrs. Embree said the district’s different boards had used property tax revenues for the Manor’s capital improvements for decades.

Overall the path length was 7 miles... with a max damage width of 70 yards.

The tornado was rated ef1.

Locally roads flooded through Friday with even the north entrance into Paris closed in one lane and marked “Water Over Road”.

MoDOT lists these safety precautions to take when areas flood: - Be aware of barriers.

Do not drive around them into water. Find a detour.

- Do not walk or wade out in moving water. Six inches of moving water

can cause a fall.

- Do not drive into flooded areas. Vehicles can be quickly swept away.

Six inches can reach the bottom of most passenger cars. This will cause a loss of control and the car could stall.

- A foot of water will float many vehicles. Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles, including sport utility vehicles, 4-wheel drive vehicles and pick-ups.

It was a busy night for local weather spotters and emergency responders as sirens sounded throughout Monroe County including Paris, Madison and Holliday.

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.

Paris R-II Board of Education holds Reorganization Meeting u See SCHOOL BOARD on page 1A

The First Christian Church held a worship service on Sunday, April 21, with Guest Speaker, Amanda Sorenson, Chaplain of Culver-Stockton College, officiating. Her morning message, “True Love,” about Jesus giving a new commandment to love one another, was based on John 13:31-35.

Annie Herron served as Worship Leader, Mary Beth Mitchell served as Song Leader, and Betty Hodgman served as the pianist. Others who participated in the service were Elders Everett and Sharon Martin; Diaconate Sandra Duncan, Pat Hillard, Vanessa Forrest, and Debbie Boulware; and Acolytes Logan Bross and Adam Forrest.

Upcoming announcements include: Wednesday, April 24 - Sundaes on Wednesday for SongBirds and Heaven’s Ringers 6-6:30 p.m. and the quarterly Elders’ Meeting 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, April 28 - Guest Speaker, Fran Schnarre, Missouri School of Religion Director of Educational Ministry and Pastor of Granville

Christian Church; Sunday, May 5 - Communion at Monroe Manor 3 p.m.; and Wednesday, May 8 Board Meeting 7:30 p.m.

Those celebrating a birthday this week are Chloe Bush, Peggy Crabtree, and Alice Stewart.

The Elder’s Helping Hands for April are Mary Beth Mitchell and Reva Sheffield. The church may be contacted by calling (660) 327-4440 or e-mailing fc418@centurytel. net. The Paris First Christian Church extends the Good News of God’s Love through our worship, education, and service to each other, our family, friends, and community.

Paris First Christian Church offers adult Sunday School each week at 9:30 a.m., Junior Church at 10:30 a.m., and a worship service at 10:45 a.m.

All are welcome to attend.

The Bible memory verse is: Be strong in the Lord and in his great power. Ephesians 6:10.

The thought for the week from Francois Fenelon is: Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you.

The Madison Grace United Methodist Church held worship Sunday, April 21, which was Native American Ministries Sunday.

Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry gave the message, “What Do You Want for Pray For?,” with John 10: as the scripture.

Monday, April 27, Adult Bible Study is at 6:30 p.m.

Saturday, April 25, the youth will be doing mission work at Camp JoOta. Sunday, April 28, Pocket Change Sunday, worship at Wildwood 1:30 p.m., and Youth Bible Study 4: p.m.

On Sunday, April 21, 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: Mother’s Day Tea will be held on May 4, contact Peggy Evans to RSVP. On May 5 at 5 pm., the youth will host a Mexican dinner as a fundraiser for their Canada Mission Trip.

This week’s message was entitled ‘Call of God Upon Man’s Life’ and came from Ephesians 1:12. This will start a new series from Ephesians. Paul was a might man of God Paul wrote at least 13 of the New Testament letters. Study Paul’s life in the Bible and you will find he was a blessed man.

Paul’s blessings came from his restored relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. It was the will of God that Paul was an apostle. An apostle is one who is called out to be a representative of his master. Mt. 28:18-20 calls out each saint to be a representative for Christ also.

He difference between Paul’s dynamic life and many Christian lives today is Paul took God’s will for Paul’s life seriously.

God’s will for Paul’s life controlled where he went, who he talked to, what he talked about, what he ate, and every aspect of his life. Paul knew he was a possession of the Lord Jesus Christ because Jesus paid the price for his sin.

As a possession one could say Paul was possessed

with the will of God in his life. Paul went from murdering Christians in God’s name to calling people to God in Christ’s name. Everything Paul had was given to Christ.

This is the reasonable duty of the Christian Paul wrote about in Romans 12:1-2.

Paul found life’s pleasure and contentment in Jesus Christ. Paul did not need entertainment to distract his calling. Paul only needed one book; the Old Testament. Jesus was enough for Paul.

This is why Paul found grace and peace he is always praying for others to have. Grace and peace are just words if you do not experience them. The world and its distractions cannot give these things; they are only found in the will of God for your life.

In all the cultures (cities) Paul traveled to he never accepted anything that added or took away from Christ. Many thought Paul to be judgmental and Paul paid the price for sticking with Jesus and Jesus alone. Paul did not need “Jesus and” to find grace and peace, he already had it in Jesus alone.

Christians today are tempted by the world to compromise on the truths of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Fudge a little here and there, don’t be so strict with the Word of God, and lighten up – have a little fun. The closer to the will of God you stay the more satisfying and peaceful life you will enjoy.

On Sunday, April 21, services at Holliday Christian Church were opened with the welcome from Reverend David Holmes following the piano prelude by Sally Blakemore. The congregation welcomed special guests, Erin and Hillary VanPraag and Jeremy Grider (Aileen Putnam’s grandchildren) and Cameron Hunter.

Jimmie Stewart gave the children’s sermon.

His said his favorite verse was John 3:16. He told about a young boy who made a boat but lost it in the river. He later saw it in a toy store and earned money to buy it back. He told his father he owned the boat twice; he made it and then bought it. Jesus made us and then paid the price for our mistakes and thus bought us the second time.

The Call to Worship was from Psalm 62:5-12.

Brenda Ensor played, “Here Am I, Send Me”, for the personal worship moment. The adult choir sang special music directed by Sheryl Gholson.

Children’s church was led

by Shirley Loar and Stephen Hammond.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled, “To Live By Faith” from Galatians 2:20.

Sometimes our lives are not easy but God directs us to live by faith not by sight. In v. 20, Paul says, “I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life I now live, I live by faith in the son of God who loves me and delivered himself up for me.” God’s provision is the same no matter the circumstances. We cannot be justified by living life our way which can lead us down the wrong path. Our faith should not be determined by circumstances. For God to fill us with the Spirit, we must remove our negative and distressful thoughts.

All our expectations cannot be fulfilled and when they are it is not always on our timetable.

Upcoming special events: Thursday, May 12, blood drive 1-6 p.m.; Sunday, May 5, graduation recognition with carryin meal for honorees and parents (others bring two dishes). Thursday, May 9, Mother and Daughter Banquet, 6:30 p.m. VBS in June.

The title of Pastor Kenny’s sermon today was, “Generations.” Scripture was taken from Proverbs 30, Acts 2 and 1 Peter 2.

Sin is a curse. We are a nation that thinks we are ok.

We need to humble ourselves, as God loves the humble and detests the proud. Get up each morning and plead the blood of Jesus over the generational curses in your life.

Dawn Peak did the children’s sermon on bad language. As they are exposed to bad language, the kids are encouraged to help others substitute with kinder words, like “Jesus loves you” or “God bless you!”

Prayers for Cassie Olivas, Taylor family, family of Russell Woodhurst, family of Mary Kathylin Fields, Carol Hagen, Tonya Knight, D.G. Hill, Jo Reynolds’ aunts, Robby Lloyd, Carol McDowell, Tony Feger, Ralph Omer, Wayne Conley, family of Carolyn Long, Bill Meyers, Landon George, Ted Weiberg, Briley Benskin, Joni Sharp, Jim Gooch, Paris School District and staff.

hurst receiving good test results Kathy Woodhurst and Granddaughter Emily Branham attending today’s service and Karen and Bob Conley got moved into their new home.

APPEAL PHOTO

Paris Coyotes capture third in LCC Conference Tournament, Turner pitches no hitter in first start To say that Jon Turner’s first start for the Coyotes (4-4) was a memorable one is an understatement. Turner tossed a no hitter facing nine batters in three perfect innings as his teammates pounded the baseball in the Coyote 27-0 drubbing of Slater in the pigtail game of the Lewis and Clark Conference tournament.

The Coyotes went on to fall to Westran in the tourney semi final 8-1 but bounced back with a solid performance in the third place game versus Salisbury winning 9-8 and capturing the third place title.

Slater (27-0 Coyote win, Jon Tuner win) The Coyotes, plagued like everyone with a limited schedule due to the weather faced Slater on Friday, April 19, at home. Paris scored four quick runs in the first inning and then sealed the win with a 23 run explosion in the second inning for the 27-0 final.

The Coyotes scored 27 runs and pounded out 23 hits with multiple players going perfect at the dish in the blowout game.

Offensively, on a trip down the lineup: Kyle Popkes was 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs and scored 2 runs; Zac Baladenski was 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored; Shane Umstattd went a perfect 4 for 4 (and a home run) with 6 RBIs and 3 scored; Briar Hancock was also perfect 4 for 4 with 3 RBIs and 4 runs scored; Laine Forest was 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs and 3 scored; Tucker Gruber went 3 for 3 with 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored; John DeOrnellis was also 2 for 2 (with a home run) with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored; and Stephan Whelan was 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored.

Defensively, it was a career making night for Jon turner in his first varsity start. Turner pitched a per-

fect thee innings with nine batters up and nine batters down. Turner let the defensive behind him do the talking as he did not strike out a batter nor did he walk one.

Salisbury (9-8 Coyote win, Stephan Whelan win, Tucker Gruber save) In the first inning Laine Forrest and Steven Hayhurst banged out identical singles to left but the Coyotes could not push a run across due to a Salisbury twin killing that ended the threat.

In the second frame, John DeOrnellis ripped a single to center, Tucker Gruber walked and Brant Francis singled to lead the sacks. Laine Forrest lined a single down the right field line to score a pair and Paris led 2-0 after an inning and a half.

Salisbury added three runs in their half of the second and led 3-2 after three innings.

In the third, Steven Hayhurst lined a ball to center and advanced on a fielder’s choice to third where Stephan Whelan drove him in with liner. John DeOrnellis hit a bomb to center field for a double. With runners on second and third Tucker Gruber hit a sacrifice fly that scored Whelan and the Coyotes led again 4-3.

In the fourth, Brant Francis walked; Laine Forrest hit a rope to left for a hit; Slater Stone stroked a single; and Hayhurst singled to score a run. Stephan Whelan also stroked a single to score another run and Paris led 6-3 after 4 innings.

In the fifth continuing their 2 runs an inning theme, Tucker Gruber walked to open the inning, Zane Lockhart bunted him to second; Brant Francis walked and Laine Forrest was hit by a pitch to load the sacks. Steven Hayhurst walked to the dish and immediately ripped a double

to right scoring two runs and Paris led 8-3.

Paris was held scoreless in the sixth while Salisbury had a big inning scoring four runs. Stephan Whelan (winning pitcher) was cruising along when a batted ball struck his arm. He walked a pair and gave up two hits in the inning before Brant Francis relieved him on the mound. Francis surrendered a walk and a fielder’s choice before a big strikeout ended the threat and Paris still led 8-7.

One of the biggest runs of the game was scored in the seventh inning. It gave Paris a two run bulge and was the insurance run they would need. Laine Forrest, with one out smashed a hot shot through the hole on the left side of the infield for a single. He advanced to second when the left fielder bobbled the ball. He took third on a passed ball and score on a Slater Stone fielder’s choice. Stone drove the ball up the middle but it was grabbed by the pitcher who could not get Forrest at home, who was running on contact, and scored easily.

This solo run was the game winner as Salisbury added a run in the bottom of the seventh but tucker Gruber took the mound in relief to pick up the save coming in with two runners on base and one out. He induced a grounder that cut a runner down at the plate and then a high fastball resulted in a popup to second that secured the Coyote third place finish 9-8.

Westran (8-1 Coyote loss) Westran took a 4 run lead early and held on for the 8-1 win.

The Coyotes scored their lone run in the fifth when John DeOrnellis hit a monster drive to center (380 feet in Westran to the fence, the DeOrnellis drive was all of 350 feet) for a double. Laine

Forrest calmly stroked a single in the right side hole for an RBI and a Coyote run.

The Coyotes host Father Tolton on Thursday, April 25 and then Canton on Thursday, May 2 barring any games that are rescheduled due to weather.

A proud Garrison Ragsdale, 9 year old son of Scott and Dawn Ragsdale, bagged his first turkey recently.

Tyler Bennett added a two hit game while Blake Brown, Austin Freels and Dustin Ketchem each pounded out a hit. Brown and Freels each had a double for the contest. Scoring runs for the Panthers were Blake Hultz 2, Bennett, Brown, and Wandrey.

Blake Borwn pitched 6 in-

nings surrendering 7 runs (4 earned) strikib out 9 batters and walking one. Tyler

PARIS FFA NEWS

Paris R-II FFA wins $2,500 in FFA Chapter Challenge

Members of the Paris FFA chapter not only learned first-hand about agricultural livelihoods, but also earned $2,500 for their FFA program by participating in the third annual FFA Chapter Challenge.

“Kids are able to connect with local farmers in the community and spread the word about FFA through Chapter Challenge,” said Josh Bondy, Paris FFA chapter advisor. “The advocacy portfolio project helped members learn about where agriculture came from, where it is now, and where it is going through the evolution of technological advances.”

New this year, Chapter Challenge offered FFA members in 15 states two ways to participate.

Chapters could compete in the Voting Challenge or the Chapter Advocacy Portfolio Challenge. In the Voting Challenge, members met with local farmers to build relationships and learn about their livelihood. Those farmers then voted for their favorite FFA chapter. The Chapter Advocacy Portfolio Challenge encouraged chapters to meet with agriculturalists and community members to broaden their understanding about agriculture and then promote what they learned through social media and by creating a video. The Paris FFA chapter received $2,500 in credit for winning the Portfolio Challenge in Missouri.

“Monsanto is proud to partner with the National FFA Foundation,” said Elizabeth Vancil, Monsanto customer advocacy outreach manager. “Together we are helping local FFA chapters advocate for agriculture and create bonds with the people who grow our food and build our communities.”

Across the country, more than 300 FFA chapters were in the running

for the FFA Chapter Challenge grand prize, sponsored by the National FFA Foundation and Monsanto. The top chapter in each category received an all-expense paid trip for seven to the National FFA Convention & Expo. The top FFA chapters in each state received certificates of credit up to $2,500 which can be used with the national office for items such as new FFA blue jackets, convention fees and more.
