10th Circuit receives two awards On behalf of the Tenth Judicial Circuit, Presiding Judge Rachel Bringer Shepherd accepted the 2012 Daniel O’Toole and Permanency awards, presented by Judge Paul Wilson of the Missouri Supreme Court. The ceremony took place at the Monroe County Courthouse in Paris, Missouri on Thursday, June 6. Numerous court partners attended the ceremony, including representatives of the offices of Circuit Clerks, Juvenile Office, CASA, Probation and Parole, Children’s Division, the Sheriff ’s Department, and the Tenth Circuit Bar Association.

This is the tenth time the Tenth Circuit, which includes Marion, Monroe and Ralls counties, has received the O’Toole Award and the fourth time the Tenth Circuit has received the Permanency Award. Also accepting the awards were Marion County Judge John J. Jackson, Monroe County Judge Michael P. Wilson, and Ralls County Judge David C. Mobley.

O’Toole Award The O’Toole Award is given to circuits for efficiently managing and processing cases during fiscal 2012. Judge Bringer Shepherd said, “I am very grateful to all of the court personnel for their efforts to resolve cases as quickly as possible.”

The O’Toole Award, named for the late judge’s service as the first chair of the time standards monitoring committee, recognizes the success of the circuits in handling cases in a timely manner. To qualify, a circuit must achieve at least five of the ten case processing time standards

At the awards presentation, Supreme Court Judge Paul Wilson noted that the Tenth Circuit was one of only three circuits throughout the state to meet one hundred percent of the ten measured time standards for two years in a row.

Judge John J. Jackson, Marion County Associate Judge commented, “I am very pleased that the Tenth Circuit was honored by the Missouri Supreme Court for our efficient disposal of the Court’s cas-

es. It is truly an honor for all the people who work within the judicial system in the Tenth Circuit.”

“Teamwork is crucial,” said the Honorable Michael P. Wilson, Monroe County Associate Circuit Judge. “If any part of the team does not make timeliness a priority, then the justice system does not work We are blessed to have a good team in the Tenth Circuit.”

PARIS INDUSTRIAL PARK DESIGNATED CERTIFIED SITE

MONTHLY REGIONAL ISSUE NEXT WEEK

Next week the Monroe County Appeal will feature its monthly regional edition.

This issue is delivered to all Monroe and Ralls County residents with a post office address.

The Moberly Area Economic Development Corporation announced recently that the Paris Industrial Park has been designated as the State of Missouri’s sixteenth Certified Site.

The 21 acre site is located on Business US Highway 24 in Monroe County 45 miles north of Interstate 70, 20 miles south of 4-lane US Highway 36 with connection to Interstate 72 and Interstate 35 and is home to Brasch Manufacturing.

According to MAEDC President Corey Mehaffy the Paris Industrial Park provides a number of advantages to prospec-

tive industries interested in making investment in northeast Missouri including a centralized location within the U.S. which allows superb accessibility for servicing all major US markets. The Paris Industrial Park also provides proximity to intermodal services in Kansas City and St. Louis which boast the 2nd and 3rd largest railroad terminals in the U.S. creating opportunity for area employers to service the global marketplace.

According to Certified Sites Program Administrator Hal Van Slyk, with this certification the Paris Industrial Park now becomes a significant addition to the growing number of the state’s very best development-ready land sites which have been certified in the MCS program.

According to Mehaffy the Certified Site Designation is significant. Mehaffy added, “The certification designates the site as shovel ready which eliminates potential risk for our prospects. In this case instead of considering a site with a number of unknowns, the prospect can now be handed a Phase 1 Environmental Review along with a Geotechnical Report

Impartation of a Father!!!

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Relay For Life of Monroe County... Well the time is near... It is Relay time! It’s a time for county residents to again take up the fight against a deadly disease and walk around the courthouse for hope. The hope of a cure, the hope of a life, the hope that this county can help be the one that stamps out cancer in our lifetime.

Come join Chairman Ali Rentschler and her hard working committee on Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23.

This year’s event theme is “Movies Under The Stars” as each of the Relay teams uses this theme to build their area into a winning entry.

Chairperson Rentschler has promised numerous theme laps and scavenge hunts throughout the night. This year at midnight, a movie will be shown on the big screen to coincide with the theme.

As always there will be plenty of great food on hand for the participants. No one should go away hungry as some of the county’s best cooks will come together to share their wares. As always the Monroe County Cancer Supporters will be on hand to share their legendary catfish dinner with all the participants. Barb Nobis will also have her world famous turkey and noodles and the evening is capped off by the Paris National Banks serving of breakfast at midnight.

At dusk, as always is the moving , emotionally charged Luminaria Cer-

emony headed by Vanessa Forrest. It is not too late to purchase a luminary the day of the Relay - just look for Vanessa at the luminary table to purchase one of two.

The Luminaria Ceremony is the only time that walkers are asked to stop walking laps as the names of each luminary are read

by Mary Beth Mitchell and Ellen Smothers. Except for the reading of the names and the soft sound of tears it is extremely quiet on the courthouse lawn.

Also a popular Relay activity is the Silent Auction, held in the Paris Senior Center. Call Verna Spangler at Abel’s (660-327-5233) to donate an auction item.

It does not cost to be part of the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County. Can you donate? Sure. Can you participate in the activities and purchase food? Absolutely.

But all you are asked is too participate. Come walk some laps. Share in good fellowship with the survivors and caregivers. Come hear great music by Becky Blackaby and others! All in all just come spend time with friends and neighbors!

MY TURN

New Education with New Standards and New Technology Some of the objections to the Common Core State Standards which have been adopted by forty states, including Missouri, may be alleviated by technological advances in the near future.

The idea of the standards that were developed by diverse state educators was to develop learning goals for all students, wherever they lived that would provide a clear picture of academic expectations at each grade level and were at the same time practical for the students’ preparation for postsecondary education and for a competitive work force.

The focus of these standards are in English Language Arts and mathematics. New in the Language Arts Standard would be some regular practice with complex text and its vocabulary. For mathematics the standards would include deeper learning in understanding mathematical concepts among other things.

State led efforts are already underway to develop standards-based curriculum and materials to help states implement the standard and share and work together to do so.

At the same time a number of private companies are starting to market data that personalizes education with adaptive learning technologies and promises to make the one size fits all curriculums a thing of the past.

Teachers have always engaged in a basic form of personalized learning by giving

extra credit assignments to challenge students and keep them focused. It is impossible to provide one on one teaching on a mass scale but technology will make it as close as it gets. Big companies and wealthy inventors are interested in education technology and are putting their money and efforts into development of adaptive products.

For math the adaptive program might work as follows: a student is found ready by the program to advance to new problems he or she has not seen before. The student picks one of several choices. That choice goes to a huge data server in the cloud to an algorithm that is programmed to measure the time it took to answer, the answer itself, the student’s answer to many other questions and the answers of hundreds of thousands of others to the same or similar questions in order to decide what the next question on the screen will be.

If the question of student privacy is resolved by the use of coded numbers and otherwise, these vast databases will allow teachers to identify problems their students have before and not after their tests. It will also be private business that profits from these advances and government will have no role except insuring that quality education is appropriately funded for its important role in our future.

Last weekend I had the privilege of sitting on my back porch enjoying a beautiful afternoon with one of the greatest father’s I knowmy father-in-law Cliff Talton. As I sat there and listened to him talk I realized it was not merely words he was giving me but it was glimpses into his heart. And oh what magnificent, powerful, and inspiring glimpses they were!

I looked at my fatherin-law as he was talking and thanked God he had imparted so much of who he was into my husband. It became more and more obvious to me how much he had passed on to him.

Even though he worked a lot of hours when my husband was growing up, he still made lasting impressions that would effect generations to come. Fathers have such an important role in our children’s lives. Their words and actions can change the lives of our young people. They can bring positive change or they can bring negative

change.

My father-in-law is one of those who I believe has brought a lot of positive change. I want to share with you my ‘Thank You’ to him: You are a man who does not judge a person by the color of their skin but instead goes deeper by taking his time to get to know the person because you understand there is so much more to a person than what is seen on the outside.

This insight and wisdom allow you treat ALL people equally and with kindness and compassion. Thank you for imparting this into your son!

You are a man who believes in doing what is right even if it means taking the hard road.

You could have backed down or gave up especially when you had some people of your

As Time Goes By

All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue 90 Years Ago June 23, 1923 Three farmers get medals: J.A. Rouse, Paris, T.E. Bierly, Shelbina, and A.J. Carter, Paris, all of whom are Monroe County farmers, were awarded medals won in the Missouri Colt Production Contest at a meeting at the Court House in Paris Friday night. To win one of these medals, it was necessary for each man to own a colt that gained at least 600 pounds during its first year. It was required that feed records be kept on each colt. Only colts sired by pure bred stallions were eligible for the contest. T.A. Ewing and E,S. Matteson, both of the Animal Husbandry Department of the College of Agriculture, were present at the meeting.

Will Hold A Three Night Horse Show: The Fair Board, meeting Monday evening, decided to hold a three night horse show this year instead of the regular day and night fair, the dates to be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 16, 17, and 18. Prizes will be offered in saddle and harness horses, draft horses and mules. A class will also be provided for fat calves. The premium list is to be limited to $1,000.00. Races, floral hall and agricultural exhibits, and all day shows were eliminated, due to lack of attendance and interest last year.

75 Years Ago June 16, 1938 A Real Bee Tree: A bee tree of unusual interest in the southeast corner of the courthouse yard

at Paris was revealed by Tuesday night’s windstorm. On Tuesday afternoon the bees “swarmed” and Judge Hurd “hived” about three gallons of them. That night a huge section of the tree was split from the trunk by a high wind. It contained another swarm or colony of bees and enough honeycomb to fill a two-bushel basket. $18,109 For School Campus: A telegram from Congressman Cannon to Mayor Guy Reed, Wednesday, stated that Washington authorities were ready to set aside $18,109 for additional work on the school campus at Paris.

They Are Coming: People from every Monroe County community are coming to the music festival that will be held at the fairgrounds in Paris the afternoon of Sunday, June 26. One hundred musicians from Shelbina and Paris will participate in the band program. In some of the numbers these two bands will be consolidated into one, making the largest band ever seen in Monroe County. Under the leadership of a great vocal artist, Mrs. Charles Hummell, a county sing will be undertaken, in which everybody will be asked to join in the rendition or several familiar old songs. All who attend will be asked to pay at least 10c at the gate, the money to be used for hospital treatment for crippled children in Monroe and Shelby Counties.

Thank you for imparting this into your son!

As this Father’s Day approaches, let’s remember and appreciate all the fathers who have made positive, lasting impacts and also those men who may not be biological fathers but have stood in the gap to help raise our younger generation. Being a father is a privilege and a honor and should not be taken lightly.

If you are a father reading this who has not been present or active in your child’s life just know it is never too late to make a change. Life is short and the time is now. Your son or daughter needs you. It might be rough and bumpy at first and they might even reject you but don’t let that stop you from letting them know you love them. Tell them you are sorry for the mistakes you have made and let them know it is not their fault that you have not been a part of their life.

It will set them free. That is the kind of power a father has. That is the kind of power You have!

Have a very blessed and happy Father’s Day!!!!!!

You are a man who chose to be a father, not only to your biological children but also to those who were not. You stood in the gaps that were left by other men who chose not to father their children. You did what you had to do to provide for your children even if that meant working long hours that would prove later in life to take a toll on your body physically. You encouraged, cheered and pushed your children both academically and with life in general.

Farm Safety program at Paris Library, June 19

Elementary students are encouraged to learn about farm safety at the Paris Public Library on Wednesday, June 19, at 11 a.m. Nora Dodd, ADM outreach coordinator, will teach the students about various hazards in rural areas.

According to the National Safety Council, agriculture is the nation’s most dangerous industry.

Between 1995 and 2000, nearly 700 youth died on farms and ranches in the United States, according to the 2004 Journal of Safety Research.

“The farm is a great place to live,” said Dodd.

“People just need to be mindful of the dangers.

Nearly every job on the farm can be dangerous.”

Machinery safety will be discussed. Including the dangers of power takeoffs and not being an extra rider on tractors, mowers, and ATVs. Grain safety including not playing near

or around grain wagons or bins will also be covered.

Dodd partners with Farm Safety For Just Kids to offer safety education for youth. Farm Safety For Just Kids was founded 25 years ago by an Iowa farm wife after the death of her son in a gravity flow grain wagon accident. The organization promotes a safe farm environment to prevent injuries and death by educating our youth.

ADM, a leading agricultural processor of food ingredients, animal feeds, and feed ingredients, is proud to support Farm Safety For Just Kids. Everything ADM does begins with the work of the American farmer, so ADM is committed to helping producers and their families live and work safely on American farms.

ADM sponsors outreach coordinators in Illinois and Missouri as well.

•• DID YOU KNOW? •• Land Grab In Missouri...

The Department of Interior established The National Blueways System along the White River in Arkansas and Missouri. This designation takes 17.9 million acres with 21 counties and 80 communities in Missouri and 39 counties including 193 communities in Arkansas. Further, this order does not require a vote from Congress or proper public input.

Source: https://s3.amazonaws.com The “Blueways” brings various unelected environmental stakeholders and organizations (26, which include Ducks Unlimited, Missouri and Arkansas Audubon society, and USDA Mark Twain National Forest) local, state, federal and international bureaucrats together for environmental decisions. The problem is many international organizations have a mantra of, “leave no trace.” This means no trace of a human allowed. This makes private property land use in the hands of the Federal Government.

According to the order, it appears that any watershed in the U.S. could be deemed a national”Blueway.” A watershed includes run off from the head waters to the sea. This means any rain water dropped on private land that goes into this waterway would be regulated.

One of the goals, listed on page 18 of the National Blueways System application, is “non-productive and or frequently flooded farmland should be returned to wet land or forest as appropriate. At their headwaters the White River and its tributaries should each be protected to establish unceasingly effective corridor for wild life population migration and expansions.”

Source: www.ozarkwatewatch.org/documents/nominaiton.pdf Another goal from this same document on page 21 states: “Initiate the increase of annual seasonal flooding of agricultural lands for wild life habitat by 20%.”

Missouri passed the anti Agenda-21 law but that does not take effect until August of 2013 and does not include a retroactivity clause. Action to preserve private property must be taken by July 6, 2013.

APPEAL PHOTOS

MHP to crack down on impaired boaters Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, announces the Patrol’s participation in Operation Dry Water. Operation Dry Water is a national campaign in which marine law enforcement officers from across the country coordinate special patrols during the last weekend in June to achieve a high visibility of boating under the influence enforcement. Troopers will focus their efforts over the weekend of June 28-30, 2013, to detect and apprehend intoxicated operators.

Missouri boat operators found to have a blood alcohol content of .08% will be arrested for boating while intoxicated. A vessel operator with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit runs a significantly increased risk of being involved in a boating crash.

In 2012, 51 states and U.S. territories participated in Operation Dry Water. More than 4,500 officers from 505 local, state, and federal agencies participated in 72 hours of heightened BWI enforcement. Officers were able to remove 337 BWI operators from the water while issu-

ing an additional 14,514 boating safety citations and warnings. In addition, law enforcement officers made contact with over 113,000 boaters concerning BWI or boating safety enforcement and awareness. From 2009 to 2012, over 1,200 BWI operators have been removed from the water and over 313,500 boaters have been contacted by a law enforcement officer during the Operation Dry Water weekends.

Missouri troopers arrested a total of 20 people statewide for boating while intoxicated during the 2012 Operation Dry Water weekend. Special enforcement operations will continue throughout the summer months. Boaters are reminded that designating a sober skipper is always the safest bet if alcohol is going to be included in their boating experience.

The Patrol encourages motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!!

Chairman Gerald Roberts called the monthly congregational meeting to order. Mary McMorris, Secretary, read both the May minutes and the financial reports; both were approved as presented.

The meeting was adjourned on motion by Jerry Ragsdale.

To open Bible Study, Opal Johnston read “Heaven’s Grocery List”. From the book, “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”, Zelmajo Ragsdale read “God Knows How to Restore You”. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer and in continued study of “Sparkling Gems”.

Diana and Michael Hammond gave the children’s sermon. She gave Michael a Chinese finger puzzle, asking him to wait for instructions. She asked “Do you always do what you are told?” Michael not following her advice got his finger caught in the puzzle. She admonished him but allowed him to remain in his disobedient predicament. She asked, “What happens when we don’t follow directions? Bad things can happen. “God gives us instruction which we need to follow. Doing as God tells us, we are OK, but if we don’t, we can find ourselves in trouble. Proverbs 19:20 says, “Listen to advice and accept instruction and in the end you will be wise.”

Cheryl Bright introduced Shelby DeTienne, Shea Ensor, and Josh Bright who have finished the College Choice class. Mark Bell announced there will be 13 going to Super Summer. He thanked those who had helped make this possible.

Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled “Shipwreck of Faith” from 1 Timothy 1:18-20. Within the past few years a cruise ship became shipwrecked and turned on its side. The Captain had made a decision to deviate from the proper course and as a result the ship wrecked – some died and two were injured. The captain suffered the consequences. When we think nothing can happen to us we need to remember to be totally dependent on God or disaster can happen. We must listen to God, have faith and good conscious. The cost is great if we are unfaithful. This was Paul’s message to Timothy.

Are we committed today? We are solely responsible for our actions.

The Madison Grace United Methodist Church held worship Sunday, June 9.

Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry gave the message, “Symptoms” with Luke 7:11-17 as the scripture. Two youth from St. Marks Youth Group gave the Little Sermon, “V/BS Preview.”

Our special was two songs sung by the St. Marks Youth Group., “Psalm 139” by /Allen Pote and “Bonse Aba.” Monday, June 17, Adult Bible Study is at 6:30 p.m.

Sunday, June 16, is Father’s Day. Sunday, June 23, is Worship at Wildwood at 1:30 p.m., and Youth Bible Study 4 p.m.

Sunday, June 30 is Pocket Change Sunday.

On Sunday, June 9, 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: June 14-16 the NEMO Gospel Fest will be going on. The church will cook the Fish Fry at the Fest on the 14th and will work the Fest on the 15th. June 22, the Associational Hymn Sing will start at 5:30 p.m., with a BBQ and the singing will begin at 7 p.m. June 29, the church will host an Ice Cream Social at Miller’s Residential Care, in Paris at 1:30 p.m. Bring your musical instruments and sweet tooth.

This week’s message was entitled ‘God’s Promised Inheritance’ and came from Ephesians 1:10-14. No matter what the world looks like to us we can know God is working out His plan of salvation. Knowing God manages the affairs of man should bring peace to the believer because nothing can stop the plans of God. When every period of time is complete God will unify all things in Christ.

This does not mean all people will go to heaven. This gathering together will be in Christ. Only those found in Christ will be gathered. So here we find Christ as the unifying and dividing factor. Everything in heaven and on earth will come together as one in Christ. Notice the focus is not on man, heaven, or on the earth but on Christ. This is about Him, not anything else. We just get to be there because of God’s grace. This will be our inheritance. It will be obtained only in Christ.

Man respond to all this with the heart-felt praise of Gods glory. If you cannot see the glory of God you need to slow down in life. The world has you trained to run too fast. Is one more accomplished task worth missing God’s glory on any given day? To praise God properly we must see His glory and we cannot do that when we are running 100 mph. Doing things in the world should never be more important than the Gospel of Christ in a believer’s life.

Remember when you heard the Gospel of Christ and had to respond to the truth? Remember the urgency, like the thief on the cross? Have you lost the urgency to share the Gospel as commanded? Has your believing turned from a focal point in your life to mere mental assenting? The Jewish teaching on ‘believing’ means you will live what you believe and not merely give your belief lip service.

Our inheritance has been sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:9 tells us if you are saved you have the Holy Spirit. This seal shows salvation is a finished transaction, security of God’s protection of your salvation, a sign of ownership (you belong to God), and because it is God’s seal it a sign of authenticity. God gave us the Holy Spirit as a down payment on our inheritance. The Greek word for this means ‘engagement ring’. The Holy Spirit is your life is proof that eternity is reality. Our inheritance is undeniable because Jesus bought us with His blood, we are God’s possession, and God has made the down payment.

Enjoy your inheritance.

Services were held at Madison Christian Church on Sunday, June 9, with 33 members and guests in attendance. Guest speaker, Lorenzo Scott, led the Greetings and Announcements. Prayer requests were shared and Mr. Scott led the morning prayer. Karla and Taylor Salmons sang “His Eye is on the Sparrow” for special music. Communion was shared and tithes were offered.

Mr. Scott delivered the morning message using old testament scriptures from Exodus, Numbers, and Hosea. All were invited to Christian Discipleship. Announcements: Youth group meets on Sunday evenings, at 6:30 p.m. A Father’s Day Breakfast will be served on June 16 at 8 a.m.

All men of the community are welcome. Joyful Sound, Spiritual Sounds, and the Smyser Family will present a concert on Sunday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m. The Quarterly Disciples Hymn Sing will be held at the Paris Christian Church on Sunday, June 30, at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend Sunday services.

We want to thank everyone for helping us to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We were overwhelmed by all of the cards and well wishes.

We are truly blessed to be a part of this loving community. Thank you especially to our church family for giving us such a beautiful reception and gift. May God bless you all as you have blessed us.

Pastor Todd greeted everyone and called for announcements.

The Ladies Salad Supper will be this Thursday at 6:30 p.m., at the church. Recipes need to be submitted

by Friday, June 21, for the CWF cookbook.

On Saturday the Masonic Lick Creek Lodge #302 held a picnic at the park and presented John Asbury with his 50 year pin.

“Glorify His Name” was sung in praise. Neal and Marj Schutte will have an anniversary on June 14 and Su Todd will have a birthday on June 13 The prayer hymn, “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” was sung before the morning prayer and concerns for Mae McLaughlin, Zabette Elam, Cathy Hansen and Wanda Shoemate.

Our sympathies are for the Bland family in Mississippi, the Joiner family and friends and family of Bob Willett.

Pastor Todd’s invitation to share the Holy Communion was followed by singing “Living For Jesus”. Dean and Greg Harrison were elders. Deacons were Amanda Johnson, Tom Hurley, Davis and Wyatt Lewellen.

Alisha Eisele presented the children an example of how Jesus can make miracles happen in their lives.

Galatians 1:11-24 was read by Shirley Levings for the sermon “A Gospel That Transforms”. Paul realized he was lost until he became a Christian and believing in Jesus led him to be a new person. God is trying to lead us to a special life with blessings and transformation.

The morning special “Honor and Praise” was sang

by Patti.

The message “The Butterfly Effect” was based on scripture from Romans 12:1-2,We are all sinners saved

by God’s grace - we are who we are...

God loves us all - the righteous we have comes from Jesus. Present yourself as a living sacrifice to God - our minds, our bodies, our relationships - give with joy and thanksgiving... are you joyful this morning? Pleasing to God? Your life should be a joyful thanksgiving to God...

Be thankful for everything you have - be thankful for what you have - not for what you don’t have - to God be the glory! Where is your heart and your mind tomorrow? Listen - don’t conform to the world - let God transform you, give you a new mind, heart and spirit - like a caterpillar... emerge as a beautiful butterfly we are being transformed everyday into the likeness of Jesus! Come and worship... so truth of God can be revealed... become a butterfly!

Kaylee Beckham led the offertory as Patti played “Praise Is Rising” and all sang the “Doxology”.

All retired in fellowship as Patti played “Christ Alone”.

Everyone is invited to Sunday services at 9 a.m., to hear the word of the Lord.

Life up my eyes to the hills, From whence does my help come? Psalm 121:1-2

Make reservations now for 2013 Halloween Walk Indian Creek Campground at Mark Twain Lake will again be the site of Mark Twain Lake’s annual Halloween Walk.

This year’s event will take place Oct. 18 and 19.

While October seems like a long way off, reservations for camping during that weekend will be accepted starting at 9 a.m., Central Standard Time on June 5. Reservations will not be accepted through the project office. Reservations can be made through the centralized reservation system on the website at www.recreation.gov or by calling toll free at 1-877-444-6777.

This is the same process used for making camping reservations throughout the regular camping season. Before making reservations, please notice a few changes that have been made for the 2013 event noted below.

Once again, three camping loops will be available for reservationsFox, Eagle Point and Nighthawk. People making reservations in either Fox (sites 96-122) or Eagle Point (sites 123-177) loops will be required to decorate for the event.

An individual making reservations will be allowed to make a total of four reservations per call or web transaction.

Please keep in mind that each site will need to have a separately assigned name to it.

Change for 2013: The Mark Twain Lake Chamber of Commerce will be charging an admission fee of $5.00 per vehicle for each night of the event to help provide park visitor safety services for the event and other incidental expenses related to the event. The charge will be applicable to the hours of the event each night (Friday, Oct. 18, from 6-9 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 19, from 4-9 p.m.) Only registered campers who have paid a camping fee and show their correlating

hang tag will be exempt from this charge. The charge will not be taken at the fee booth but rather at the entrance to the East Campground, where the majority of the event takes place. Having exact change upon approaching the event will help expedite wait time and reduce long lines at the entry point.

Change for 2013: In an effort to help reduce congestion on Saturday the 19th of the event, the Fox and Eagle Point loops will be closed to drive through traffic starting at 4- 9 p.m.

The loops will be closed to traffic at the same times as in previous years for Friday the 18th of the event, 6-9 p.m., to accommodate those trying to set up on Friday before the event.

Although it is not required, many of the campers provide candy to the children that trick-ortreat from site to site during the event. Please keep in mind that throughout the weekend last year, we had over 4,800 people in attendance for this event with a large percentage of those attendees being children. Any candy that is given out must be commercially wrapped.

The Permanency Award is given to circuits for successfully holding timely hearings during fiscal 2012 in child abuse and neglect cases in which children removed from their homes are to be reunited with their families or are to be placed in another permanent home as soon as possible. Judge David C. Mobley, Ralls County Associate Judge, said, “I am very apprecia-

tive of the excellent teamwork of the Juvenile Office, Children’s Division, and all court staff, attorneys, and volunteers who work together to protect the best interests of the children.”

The hearing time frames apply to six types of hearings and vary depending on the type of hearing. For example, courts should hold a hearing to determine whether

Paris City Superintendent Phillip Shatzer added, “The Certified Site Program required an investment by the citizens of Paris and this designation combined with our existing Enhanced Enterprise Zone demonstrates to potential prospects that Paris is serious about economic development.

In today’s competitive economic development environment it is critical for our communities to be prepared.”

MAEDC Vice-President David Gaines added, “The Program expedites

the development process by allowing a company to choose to invest in our communities and immediately move forward the construction phase.”

The MAEDC Region now has three sites within its inventory of industrial sites that have received the Certified Site designation from the State of Missouri. Moberly, Fayette and Paris all have Industrial Parks that have received this designation.

According to Mehaffy two additional applications for certified site designations are in process within the MAEDC Region involving Industrial Parks in Monroe City.

These time frames were developed based on recommenda-

In evaluating what circuits qualify for the permanency awards, the circuits first were placed in size classes based on the total number of hearings that were due to be held during a particular time period. A circuit then had to rank among the top two in its size class to qualify.

RESTAURANT GUIDE

The Paris Subway serves sandwiches, pizza and salads.

“We can make any sandwich into a salad,” said Manager Londa Boone. “We also have the

best cookies in town.”

Manager Boone was quick to point out the current new lunch menu including $4, $5, and $6 specials. Each price point has a selection of sand-

wich underneath it on the board and the special includes a 6 inch sandwich of your choice and a 21 ounce drink.

Subway also features a $5 foot long sandwich each month - this month’s special is the Oven Roasted Chicken Breast for $5.

Subway serves a breakfast menu that can be ordered at any time as breakfast is served all day.

“Subway food is fresh, healthy and economical,” noted Manager Boone.

The restaurant features a varied menu of sandwiches including many meat, cheese and bread options. For vegetarians, besides the salads Subway features a meatless garden burger and the opportu-

nity to partake in a vegetarian pizza loaded with vegetables.

The Paris Subway is open daily Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.; and is open on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. 9 p.m.

Besides the above mentioned sandwiches, salads and pizza Subway maintains a variety of drinks both in bottles and in the fountain. It also has cookies, yogurt parfaits and apple slices.

“We currently have the super food - avocado to go on any sandwich,” said Manager Boone. “We also have gift cards available.”

See the advertisement below for a Father’s Day special coupon.

When it comes to choices, it is said Subway is king. When you order a sandwich you can really make a custom sandwich.

He retired from private practice, in 1999. He began teaching adult swim aerobics in 2006. Dr. Jelley began substitute teaching in the Independence School District, in 2008. He enjoyed serving the community in these positions up until the time of his death.

Dr. Jelley believed that hard work, responsibility, honesty, and integrity were the building blocks to a meaningful and purposeful life. He was fully committed to all he pursued in life. He believed in contributing to the greater good of the community, and giving of your time and talents to improve

the quality of life of those in need. At the time of his death, Dr. Jelley was serving on the Board of Trustees for the Drumm Farm for Children in Independence, on the Board of Directors of the Heritage Philharmonic Orchestra in Independence, and on the Board of Directors for the Multiple Sclerosis Achievement Center with the Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City. He actively volunteered as a tutor for the Boys and Girls Club in Independence, as a mentor for Big Brothers and Sisters of Kansas City, as a member of the Missouri Sports Massage Team, and as a massage therapist for Kansas City Hospice.

Dr. Jelley pursued his interests and hobbies with the same commitment as he did his career and community service. He enjoyed travel, all genres of music and the performing arts, reading current research in Massage Therapy and Orthopedic Surgery, the study of World History and American History, and the study of the natural sciences, anatomy/ biology, and astronomy.

He also enjoyed collecting model trains, art, books, and music. Dr. Jelley strongly believed that “Education is the cure to all that ails us”.

He was passionate about educating himself, and others, on all that he pursued.

He will be dearly missed by those he left to carry on his legacy.

A Memorial Service for Dr. Jelley will be held at the First Christian Church of Blue Springs, on Friday, June 21, at 7 p.m. His grave side service and burial will be at Walnut Grove Cemetery in Paris, on Saturday, June 22 at 1 p.m.
