Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back.

Those are words that hundreds of Monroe County individuals came together to speak, live and believe as they participated in the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County, Saturday and Sunday, June 22 and June 23, to help the American Cancer Society advance its mission to save lives, help those touched by cancer, and empower people to fight back against the disease. This year, a total of 10 county teams and more than approximately 450 plus participants took part in the Relay.

The evening’s event so far has raised approximately $26,000 with some additional money still outstanding. This was a significant raise over last year’s amount.

This year’s Relay chairman was Ali Rentschler.

“You know why you are here,” said Rentschler to the crowd. “I am proud to be here with you tonight.”

In the days leading up to Relay, teams help raise much-needed funds and awareness through donations, activities and fundraisers.

APPEAL PHOTO

Since their inception in 2009 the Monroe County Cancer Supporters have helped over 100 Monroe County residents battle cancer. Just recently MCCS Treasurer Annette Bell issued a check to their

100th patient helped.

“Since 2009 - present we have helped 102 patients,” said Treasurer Annette Bell.

The group has written checks totaling $63,9000.00 in help to county residents

suffering from cancer. This total does not reflect any labor-intensive chores accomplished by members of the group in support of county residents.

Their mission statement notes that they were organized to help Monroe County cancer patients and their families.

The group helps county residents with basic expenses, but can also help with services such as farm work, house cleaning and grass cutting - basic neighbor helping neighbor tasks.

Once a year MCCS holds their large highly successful fundraising effort – Blow Away Cancer –held in March.

“I have been overwhelmed with the show of support from the county,” notes President Turner.

It was also noted that all of the resources collected or coordinated by MCCS stays in Monroe County. The only requirement for receiving help from Monroe County Cancer Supporters is that the recipient be a Monroe County resident diagnosed with cancer.

According to the group members, “helping people is possible only if we are aware of the need, so we rely on others to inform us of someone having cancer. We hope to ease the burden, show that the community cares, and raise awareness. Names of people receiving aid are kept confidential.”

All MCCS members encourage anyone interested in learning more about their organization attend a monthly meeting.

Encouraging Words - Pass Them On

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Constantly Amazed! I am always amazed at the generosity and unbounded compassion found in the residents of Monroe County.

At the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County it was announced by chairperson Ali Rentschler that this year’s Relay had collected approximately $26,000 with money still uncounted. Add this total to the $63,900 that the Monroe County Cancer Supporters have dispensed since its conception in 2009 and that is a big chuck of change donated by county residents to a cause.

As you walked around on Saturday night at this year’s Relay you could see signs of compassion, pain, hope and joy etched on the faces of the participants.

There was a message of hope... A message to keep fighting... And a message of a county that cares for everyone...

Relay brings out the voluntyeerism in everyone. It was easy to glance around the Relay site and see individuals such as Cory Putnam being dunked again and again to help raise funds for his team; to Vanessa Forest and volunteers registering each and every Luminary to make sure they correctly made the list to be read by volunteers Mary Beth Mitchell and Ellen Smothers; to each and every volunteer manning their booths to serve the residents visiting and the walkers participating in the Relay; to Taylor Ross, Becky Blackaby, Brenda Duncan

and Diane Hickman (Joyful Sounds), Sarah Hunt and Hunter Milner for providing the quality entertainment; to Ali Rentschler, who takes no credit for her chairman duties but seems to pull off a successful Relay through her compassion and dedication; to American Cancer Society Community Manager Ginger Hodson for her help, understanding and dedication to her position; to the hard working Barking Butterfly Bakery girls who have dedicated their time and efforts to eradicating cancer in their lifetimes; and to all the survivors who give of their time and are an example to others by their grace and attitude.

Thank you to all those participants and volunteers that made Saturday night possible and successful not only for the cancer survivors but for all of us who have a dream that cancer will be stomped out, stamped out and eradicated in our lifetimes.

There is lots to look forward to in the upcoming weeks as Old Threshers and the Monroe County Fair are on the horizon.

Have a great week!

MY TURN A Drone In Our Future?

When we hear anything about drones most of us think about guided mini missiles that have killed a number of suspected terrorists in the Middle East.

Even before 9-11 the military was using unmanned aircraft like the Predator for surveillance missions. Since 2002 the U.S. has deployed over 11,000 military drones for a wide variety of tasks.

We are not alone here. At least 50 other countries have drones including China and Iran that have their own drone manufacturing plants.

There are over a thousand companies making drones and they are pushing into the private use for their products. Customs and Border Patrol agents have been using them to spot smugglers and illegal entrants at out borders.

They also are used widely in tracking atmosphere and weather related information and conditions.

One of the sure but future uses for drones are police departments and other law enforcement agencies. The St. Louis Police chief recently stated that he will use drones and that they are much cheaper than helicopters for law enforcement purposes. There is also a future for drones in agriculture weather forecasting and traffic control.

The biggest obstacle at

this point for growth is FAA rules which restrict drone flights by government agencies and private owners as well. Even with a permit drones are currently restricted to fly not above 400 feet, away from airport or heavy air traffic and must be always within visual contact. When this changes, and it will, the field will be open to fast and furious use of drones.

A sky full of drones is not a pleasant prospect especially in light of the safety record of military drones. In the last ten years or so the Air Force reports at least 120 accidents, more than half of which destroyed the drone. This records accidents only and does not count CIA or other agency mishaps in which U.S. allied troops or innocent civilians were killed or injured.

The idea of armed police drones in pursuit and otherwise is not comforting. Likewise the idea of networks of linked drones and computers will be able to track movement of people and vehicles. A combination of drone videos and cell phone tracking can build databases of peoples routines and habits.

Welcome to the future.

Be careful of what you wish for today.

Living in this world is going to bring some struggles for every one of us no matter how old or how young, how rich or how poor. It doesn’t matter what color we are, what we do for a living, if we are married or single, or what church we attend. Life has its ups and downs and if we are living life then chances are we are going to experience both the good times and the not-so-good times.

The good news is we can almost always look back at one of those bad times that we thought we would never make it through and see how we did.

When we are going through the struggle it can be so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We get so consumed with the now of what is going on and focus on all the negative things that are hap-

pening to us. It seems almost impossible at times to pick ourselves up out of that dark place. Times like this prove to us all the more how important it is to have things, people and especially God to encourage us. Yes, we need to be able to encourage ourselves but there are those times when we feel so weak that we need to rely on God and those He put around us to be strong for us.

We need to make sure we have some healthy, positive relationships that can help carry us through some of the more difficult times of life and then we can also share the good, joyous times with them also. Don’t believe

As Time Goes By

All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue 90 Years Ago June 29, 1923 Relief For Chigger Bites: After much research work and experimentation, Dr. M.S. Bodine has found a way to relieve sufferers from grass chigger bites. Having no desire to commercialize his discovery and grow rich off of suffering humanity he allows the Appeal to broadcast to the world his prescription. First you chip off a small piece of ice, then you rub the itching spot with the ice long enough to get it cold.

Then you go to bed or to work and forget that there are such things as grass chiggers. The writer can give a testimonial to the effectiveness of the treatment.

Improvements at Club: A Bell telephone was installed at the Club House last Thursday. On Friday, club directors authorized the purchase of a new boat to put on the river and bought a Brunswick phonograph and records for use at the house. The machine was taken out the first of the week. New lawn swings have been bought and hung and the croquet grounds dragged and lights installed over it for night playing. Sand will also be put on the croquet grounds to affect a hard, smooth surface, and the tennis courts will be dragged and put in shape. The grounds are being cleared of unnecessary shrubbery and weeds. A road gang began work this week on the road leading from the main Shelbina-Paris road to the club grounds. The corner north of Er-

nest Hedden’s will be widened and fences set back, culverts will be widened to double track capacity, the road bed graded from fence to fence and several small hills cut down, the dirt being used in filling between them.

75 Years Ago June 30, 1938 Bought Building: George Cook and Bob McGlashon have bought the frame building and lot just north of the Standard Oil station on North Main from Mrs. Ella Simon, at a reported price of $1,000. They plan to wreck the present old frame building, erect an office building and prepare a show a lot for their monument business.

To Broadcast From Columbia: Talent from the Paris Christian church will make a short broadcast from station KFRU at Columbia, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. The program will include a short talk by Rev. Roberts, the church pastor, and the following numbers: vocal sexette by Misses Jane Curtright, Alice Hohimer, Emily Curtright, Mrs. Jack Vaughn, Mrs. Robert Lass and Mrs. Craig Holsheiser, accompanied by Miss Elsie Curtright, organist and director of the young people’s choir; solos by Herbert Bybee and Mrs. Harry Stewart.

that any one of us have this life thing all figured out. We all have our ups and downs and we all have struggles in this life. The struggle may be different but it is still a struggle nonetheless.

Some of us might be better at keeping it in than others but all of us have tough moments.

We can embrace and enjoy the good times and take comfort in the bad times knowing God will never leaves us and we will make it through to happier days. We just need to keep moving forward and know there is light at the end of the tunnel. My friend Rita Washington always says, “This too shall pass” and how right she is. The situation always seems so big and bad at the time but it does pass and we do move on and everything does work out. It might not always work out the way we think it should but it does work out.

Here are some encouraging quotes that I hope will lift your spirits when you need it: “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.”-Albert

cludes the huge elm that for so many years has shaded the south lawn.

The court also: allowed Russell Sandifer $60 for dozer work and $210 to Wilkerson Brothers for driving piles and approach work on three bridges.

Firecracker Starts Grass Fire: A grass fire that was headed toward the barns and house of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Williams Sunday was apparently caused by a firecracker thrown from a moving car into extremely dry, dead grass along Highways 15 and 24. The Paris fire department was called and the blaze extinguished before burning over more than a half acre or so.

With the wind in the east, the fire could have resulted in heavy damage, as it was blowing flames directly toward the buildings. Williams heard a firecracker explode just a few minutes before the blaze was reported, and believed this caused the blaze.

25 Years Ago June 30, 1988 Jaycees Present Fireworks: The Paris Jaycees

will be setting off their fireworks this Monday, July 4th. The Jaycees would like to invite young and old alike to come and watch the display. The display should begin around dusk and involve a number of large fireworks. The Jaycees are also selling fireworks in the parking lot of Wade’s IGA to raise money for next year’s display. The Jaycees appreciate anyone that helps promote the non-profit organization’s efforts to present the city of Paris with a fireworks display.

Corps Issues Hay Sales: The United States Army Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake will be issuing a hay sale on lake area lands because of the persistent drought that continues to affect the region. The hay on selected lands will be offered to the highest bidders in this sale.

The lands included in the special hay sale are located throughout the lake area, many of them have not been mowed for several years and contain various amounts and sizes of woody vegetation.

Land named Madison Activity Complex

The Madison Area Business Association (MABA) has named the former MoDOT property on the northeast side of Madison that they recently purchased the Madison Activity Complex. The area dedicated to an arena for demolition derbies and tractor pulls has been developed and the first derby was held there on June 8. Over 800 people were in attendance at that event which was a recordbreaking crowd for recent years. The Madison Lions Club will hold their annual tractor pull in the arena on Saturday, July 20 and the fall demolition derby will be held on Saturday, September 14.

There is work to still be completed including additional fencing, upgrades to the electrical system,

and plans include the installation of additional bleacher as well as other improvements to the building and land.

Many businesses, individuals, and organizations have donated to the development of this land and without their generosity complex would not yet be ready to use for events.

MABA greatly appreciates all of the donations of materials, hours of work, and cash that has been given to this project.

If you would like to help in any way, or are interested in becoming a member of the association, please contact any of the officers. They are: James Lee Johnston, president; Junior Hulen, vicepresident; Twana Hulen, secretary; and Cindy Hultz, treasurer.

Great Debate on Immigration..

There is a great debate in both houses in Washington and throughout the land over how immigrants who live and work in the U.S. but who have come here illegally should be granted amnesty or how the problem should be solved.

Many want to see the current law to secure our borders be enforced. Also, there is a cry to have better tracking of when immigrants leave the Country and when their visas expire. At least one of the terrorist that killed and maimed Americans in The Boston Terror Plot was here on a student visa. It was found his visa was invalid and the Customs and Border Protection Agency was unaware that the student was no longer in school.

Source: frontpagemag.com The Senate bill would allow illegals to obtain “registered provisional immigrant” status six months after the bill is enacted. It would take an illegal immigrant 13 years to gain citizenship and would be required to pay taxes. However, many of these immigrants will be low income earners, and will become eligible for earned income tax credits worth thousands for each family. They will be asked to pay fees as well as a $2,000.00 fine. No one who entered after Dec. 31, 2011 or had a felony conviction will be eligible.

The bill already includes 400 waivers and other exemptions. The bill is over 1,000 pages long.

Foreign born people made up 1 in 20 residents in the U.S. in 1960. Today that number is 1 in 8. Roughly 50,000 work in agriculture, 400,000 in the service industry and 250,000 are university trained workers. The Heritage Foundation’s cost estimate for amnesty to 11 million low-skill immigrants would amount to 6.3 trillion dollars.

First place winners Mike and Kitty Meyer - 6.62 lbs.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Eastern Missouri Crappie Club held their 5th annual Jack & Jill, “Catch Crappie for the Cure” cancer benefit tournament, auction and bar-b-q June 15. Fifty-four teams fished in the tournament battling very high water and a slow fish bite. Here are the top 10: Mike and Kitty Meyer 6.62 lbs.

Brad and Paige Ruyle - 6.41 lbs., 2nd big fish (1.20 lbs.)

Shane Cappel and Lexi Brown - 6.26 lbs.

Ron and Rita Molitor 4.90 lbs.

Lonnie and Dianne Stevens - 4.68 lbs.

Bob and Barb Bray 4.42 lbs.

Clint and Jody Hibdon 4.38 lbs.

Joey and Megan Wilmes 3.87 lbs.

Jason and Melissa Coan 3.47 lbs, 1st big fish 1.24 lbs.

Ken and Leanne Kuchar 3.32 lbs.

Brad and Paige Ruyle, who took 2nd place, donated their check back to the cause. This is the 2nd year they gave their checks back! The other winning teams bid on items in the auction which shows how dedicated they are to helping the fight against cancer.

Charlie and Sonnie Kunkel, 154 Marine, went out of their way to supply us with a good weigh-in, auction and bar-b-q site

again this year. Crappie Masters supplied their trailer, sound system and scales and Paul Alpers and Brian Sowers emceed the weigh-in. Brian co-hosts Brad and Brian outdoors, a radio show on KMMO out of Marshall, Missouri, and devoted the whole show Sunday evening to the Jack & Jill event.

Ronald & Roland Meyer donated 6 infield box seat tickets, 1 parking pass and 200.00 cash for the June 22 game against the Rangers which were raffled off.

They also donated 2 bow and 1 rifle deer hunt on their hunting grounds on the Iowa border in the auction. Crappie Masters national sponsors, B & M Poles, Grizzly Jig, Mid-South Tackle, Crappie Sliders, Crappie-aholic and Strike King Lures, just to name a few donated items to the auction. Many local restaurants and business owners also donated items to the auction. EMCC members also donated some very nice items and hunts. Jack Bodine, a local auctioneer, donated his time and materials to do the auction for us. Because of the generosity of everyone we were able to raise $38,000.00, before expenses. Eastern Missouri Crappie Club will distribute checks after the weigh-in at our July tournament which will be held on the Paris town square.

Summer is the season for home improvements. Make sure your project goes smoothly with these tips for finding a trustworthy contractor—and spotting one who isn’t.

Smart Steps for Selecting a Contractor Contact your local home builders association or remodelers council for a directory of members. This list, plus references from friends and family, can help you get started.

Ask the Better Business Bureau about complaints filed against the contractors you’re considering. Other helpful contacts include past customers and other building or remodeling professionals, such as your architect or a materials supplier.

Check for membership in industry associations.

“When you see someone who has taken the time to do this, it shows that they care about their business and care about representing themselves and their industry well,” says Paul Sullivan, vice chairman of the National Association of Home Builders Remodelers.

Make sure the contractors are currently licensed and registered. These requirements vary by state, so ask your local or state agencies for specific details.

Request proof of insurance. “Contractors should have liability and workers’ compensation insurance,” Sullivan says. This can help protect you against injuries or property damage that might occur.

Get at least three different estimates. Ask the contractors to explain any differences, and avoid immediately choosing the contractor with the lowest cost.

Once you’ve selected a contractor, insist on a written contract. Some things the contract must include: the contractor’s contact information, a project timeline, a payment schedule and permit requirements. “Your contract also should have a clause allowing you to cancel the contract and seek a return of unused funds if the contractor can’t complete the project,” Sullivan says.

Signs of a Contracting Scam Pushy door-to-door sales tactics or unsolicited phone calls or visits Promising discounts for using leftover materials or for referring other customers. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” Sullivan says.

Insisting on a large deposit or cash payments in full Asking you to secure building permits Unwillingness to provide local contact information The Federal Trade Commission offers additional tips for hiring a contractor on its site. Learn more tip-offs to home repair scams from State Farm®.

CHURCH NEWS

The title of Pastor Kenny’s message today was “The Temple.” Scripture was taken from John 2:13-22, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:12-20 and Ephesians 2:19-22. We are the temple of God. How do we treat the temple, what do we feed it, what do we look at, and where do we go. Do we take in things we shouldn’t, look at and go places we shouldn’t? Your body and spirit are not yours, they belong to God. The body needs to be one, not broken. God’s love is bigger and stronger than any other kind of love.

The congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered on Sunday, June 23, as Jane Akers, organist, played the prelude. Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance and then shared a thank you note from the Paris Baptist Summer Lunch program.

Paris Christian Church will host the county-wide hymn sing at 6:30 p.m., on Sunday, June 30. The annual meeting of Holliday Christian Church will be held on the evening of Sunday, July 14.

“When Morning Gilds the Skies” was the opening hymn; singing was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”. Johnny and Ann Ragsdale shared the joy of a beautiful wedding and reception over the past two weekends for Zach Baker and Katie Little. Jane Akers shared the good news of successful surgery for Samantha Davis. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Mike Mallory, Margaret and Pete Olney, Beverly Wandrey and for Mitch Creel who continues his duties in the Army in Afghanistan. Sympathy was expressed to the family of Vernon Heitmeyer.

The prayer hymn, “A Child of the King” was the prayer hymn; moments of meditation followed as the final verse was played. Pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed.

The communion hymn, “O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee” was sung as elders, Gary Wilson and Pete Olney, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Deacons were Guy Callison and Johnny Ragsdale. Following sharing of communion and collection of offerings an offertory prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

“Are You Wheat or a Weed?” was the morning message from Reverend Holmes. The parable of the seed was the scripture reference from Matthew 13:24-30 and 36-43. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Yield Not to Temptation” was sung and was followed by a closing prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song”.

Bible Study began with Jane Akers reading from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know”; the passage was entitled “God’s Words Bring Wisdom”. Diane Wilson shared a reading “The Seed”. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer; study from “Sparkling Gems” and the story entitled “Lanterns, Torches and Weapons” was discussed. This section described the soldiers’ search for Jesus on the Mount of Olives to carry out his arrest.

Services at Holliday Christian Church are held each Sunday beginning at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Caleb Ford came forward on Sunday, June 16, rededicating his life and requesting baptism. His daughter, Cheyenne Ford accepted Christ into her life and she and Caleb were baptized during the morning worship.

Shonda DeTienne also came forward having accepted Christ in her life.

Gale Wilkerson gave the invocation and thanked all the workers at Bible school and remarked about the blessings others get through this ministry. The children sang their Bible school song, “Colossal World” directed by Michael Hammond and Annie Miller. Jimmy Stewart gave the children’s sermon and talked about a Bible School teacher who had told Him that our life is a blank page until we accept Christ and then He puts color in our life. We must learn to pray, read the Bible and give our lives to Christ.

Stephen Hammond announced he is going on a mission trip and is looking for work to help pay his expenses.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled, “Faith Can Fail” from Luke 22:31-32. In the reference Jesus is speaking to the disciples after the Last Supper.

Jesus speaks about Satan’s power to “sift” Peter as wheat.

The devil continues to try to separate people from God. In verse 32, Jesus tells Peter that he has prayed for him.

We must have confidence in our faith and trust God. As we will remember Peter did fail by his denial of Christ but in the second part of v. 32, Jesus says, “And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

Our wrongdoing doesn’t have to be final. We must move forward in faith again and not dwell on failure as the devil would have us do to weaken our faith. God will always be there for us. Failure can be painful but it doesn’t have to be final.

Announcements: (All events p.m. unless otherwise indicated) Wednesday, June 26, no choir; Ladies’ salad supper at the Methodist church, 6:30; **Thursday, June 27 Bloodmobile 1-6; **Friday, June 28, 9:30 a.m., summer lunch program preparation; helpers needed and monetary donations will be accepted. **Sunday, June 30, Fifth Sunday Fellowship, Home-made ice cream and cup cakes and cookies, “Taste Off ”. **Sunday, June 30 is deadline for special rate for church camp.

Holmes led the morning prayer. The Spiritual Sounds sang “Journey to the Sky” as special music. Communion was shared and tithes were offered. Rev.

Sunday, July 14, Our Fellowship Dinner 11:45 a.m.

On Sunday, June 23, 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 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. We will have the Lord’s Supper on July 7, during the morning service. June 13, at 8:30 a.m., will be Men’s breakfast.

This week’s message was titled ‘Answer the Call Daily’ and came from Psalm 96. No matter what is happening in your life you can have a good day. No one escapes the problems of life but the attitude you have means a great deal concerning the quality of day you will have.

Get up every morning and praise the Lord.

Praising the Lord gets our eyes off of self and onto God. Instead of obsessing over your problems, look to God instead. God has answers you and I do not have.

Praising the Lord in song will lift up your spirit and connect you to God. The intellectual side of faith is important but singing to God connects the intellectual with the emotional. It is like building a wall with bricks, you need the mortar (emotional) to make it strong. Ps. 40:1-3 says God gives you a new song to sing to Him. God knows where you have been and where you are going. This song is for you that you can praise Him. God’s gift of song is also for you to share with the world. Declare His glory (the way you see God) to the lost. Sing of His holiness, faithfulness, majesty, love, grace and other attributes. Sing of His wonders (the things you have seen Him do). This includes His gift of salvation, the gift of the Holy Spirit in you, that God is still working inside you to make you more like Jesus, and all the kept promises of God. The lost world needs to hear God’s children sing so they will know that God is real in our life. Some do not want to hear the song but sing anyway. Jesus faced the same issues in His day but He did not stay in heaven and tell man about God. Jesus came to earth among the sin and filth. God’s children must sing outside the church’s wall and in the streets of society so God’s message will be heard.

God is the one true living God and all else is idols.

Man no longer uses wood, clay, or stone to make idols but they do use ideas to create idols. Not all ideas are equal. God is the only god worthy of our praise for He is our creator and sustainer. He is the only God that is not a figment of man’s imagination. Do not sing a song to the world’s idea of truth. Only God owns the truth for He is the truth. One day Jesus will return and judge the earth with HIS truth. Do not accept man’s watered down version of God’s truth. The Bible contains the truth of God that we will one day be judged by. Draw close to God through His word and by singing the song He has given you.

Thou shalt have no other God; let there be light, and He made man in His own image...Genesis is the window that opens the door to the understanding of His creation - IT IS GOOD! Science cannot explain how everything got here - but God can - He created ALL things...God will give you a new heaven and a new earth - for His beloved children. He is not done - it is only the beginning!

“The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” – Isaiah 32:17 Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“I Need Your Glory” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture read by Bro. Michael Thompson “Chasing After You” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting) was directed by Elder Maurice Berry. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.”

“Speak” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “The Power and Authority of Faith, Love, and Hope” Colossians 1:4-6, 12-13 We need to rearrange our thinking process and not be so overwhelmed at what is going on around you.

Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 Observe the One who crested the wind and the clouds. We must put our faith and hope in God. Faith Romans 10:17 Comes from what God says (His Word). We believe because what He says has unlimited power and authority.

Love I John 4:7-11, 18-19 In verse 7-it explains that God’s love is the pure, perfect, genuine love.

In verse 8-it shows that God is love. He loved us from Himself.

In verse 10-is a description of God’s love for us.

In God’s love there is boldness and no fear.

Hope Hope is the result of faith and it represents the treasure in heaven laid up for you.

Faith, hope, and love qualifies us in the earth realm to be translated from the power of darkness.

Matthew 16:19 “Keys” – we as believers have authority, ownership and possession over principalities and powers; and these ‘keys’ of the kingdom are Faith, Hope, and Love.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

Those present from the DAR chapter included Registrar/Corresponding Secretary Jan Smiley Carter, Treasurer Dorothy Walser, Recording Secretary Annette Azdell, Chyerl Varvil, Sarah Painter Crow, and Wilma Hase. Those representing American Legion Post 221 were Commander Lloyd Miller, J.D. Long, Harold Wilson, Bob Mitchell, George Hunter, Jerry Holmes, Danny Purdy, Larry Castleman and Ron Turnbough.

Carter welcomed everyone to the ceremony celebrating the history of the American Flag. She then led the Pledge of Al-

There is a new nurse at the Monroe County Health Department. Terry Ballard, RN, CRNI, is now part of the department staff.

Ballard is a Paris native as she was raised here in Paris and graduated from PHS. After high school she attended Columbia College attaining her nursing degree.

Ballard’s work history includes tours at two Veterans Hospitals (Columbia and Kansas City).

“Here at the Health Department I will be supervising the Home Health Department,” said Nurse Ballard. “Home Health provides medical services in the home funded by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance.”

Ballard went into nursing because she liked being able to help people.

“I love the education part of health care,” said Ballard. “I like helping people make lifestyle changes to help them live

longer and healthier.”

In her free time, Ballard likes to work in the yard, garden, fish, hike and camp.

Ballard and her husband Scott have two daughters, a 23 year old that resides in Springfield and a 21 year old residing in Monterey, Calif. They also have two dogs.

Terry is the daughter of Ross and Roni Sinkclear, Paris.

“I am back!” said Ballard. “I want to be a part of this community. A lot has changed business wise but the people are still the same.”

to give up (she said to the crowd).”

As PHS alumni Taylor Ross sang the National Anthem, with the colors presented by American Legion Post 221, you could scan the crowd and see what an emotionally charged evening it was going to be.

Pastor Donna Scott gave the invocation and Rentschler introduced the steering committee members.

“We do what we do by committee,” said Chairperson Rentschler.

In a moving presentation, featured speaker Ann Neubauer spoke about how cancer has touched her.

“Just by being here tonight you are a big help in ending cancer,” said Neubauer. “I appreciate every moment I have. You are the reason I have hope!”

“Survivors symbolize the courageous struggle of all cancer patients,” said Committee Member Donna Morgan as she read the list of former winners of the Hero of Hope Award. Homer McCollum received the 2013 Hero of Hope Award from Donna Morgan.

Former Hero of Hope Winners include: 2006 - Rita Boston 2007 - Opal Johnston 2008 - Pete and Margaret Olney 2009 - Jeane Lechliter 2010- Daisy Hamilton 2011 - Louise Hollingsworth “Tonight is a celebration of life and of hope,” added Rentschler. “I ask everyone here tonight to join us in the walk of life!”

Becky Blackaby; Taylor Ross; Sarah Hunt and Hunter Milner; and Joyful Sounds (Brenda Duncan and Diane Hickman) performed to loud raucous applause prior to the luminaria ceremony while team members walked laps around the courthouse. Each team had its own food and specialty items available for sale during the event.

As the daylight faded over the participants, luminarias were lit in honor of those fighting cancer, caregivers and in memory of those who have been lost to this disease.

In a moving and emotional moment, as Mary Beth Mitchell and Ellen Smothers read each name – each individual luminaria was lit. Approximately 400 luminarias helped shine through the darkness and represent the hope that one day, cancer will no longer be a

major health issue.

Food booths are a large part of the event and help raise money on the spot.

This year’s food booths included but was not limited to: Paris Patriots - Pulled pork sandwiches, Cole Slaw, Lee’s famous tea and popsicles.

The Paris National Bank - Fried pickles, fried Oreos and funnel cakes.

They also featured breakfast with biscuits and gravy and bacon sandwiches served after midnight.

Abel’s Quik Stop - Turkey and Noodles, hot dogs, tea, soda and water.

Granville Church Walking tacos, soda and water.

Jeanne Nobis had her famous potato bar with fixings Monroe County Cancer Supporters had there world famous fish and fried potatoes Monroe Manor had fried pickles The Barking Butterfly Bakery girls did extremely well selling their famous bakery items along with a frozen slushie drinks.

After the ceremony silent auction winners were announced and the Granville Team gave away their grocery basket of food (won by Susan Duncan, Paris). The rest of the evening consisted of games, team laps, street dancing, scavenger hunt and entertainment and fun. The evening’s excellent MC’s were Cory Putnam and Steve Adams with music provided by Larry Cornelius, LLC. Hit activities of the night centered around the Golden Throne; each raising a significant amount of money.

The event ended with a prayer by Mark Bell, the closing ceremonies,

Blair and Eric Joiner lost their 2 year old son Ely on June 8, in an accident. The Joiner family are members of the Mark Twain 4-H Club.

They are having several fund raisers to help with the cost of the helicopter, hospital and funeral expenses as Ely did not have any health insurance. The following are fundraisers going on if anyone would like to participate: 1.

Cost is $10 a plate and if you have anything you would like to donate toward the auction you can deliver to Rita Wilkerson (family) or me by Friday and I will be glad to take

it to them when we go to the walk.

3. Saturday, July 6, there is a Bake sale, Yard sale and Raffle at Main Street Thrift Shop in Monroe City. It is located right across the street from Ben Franklin. If you have yard sale or baked good items that you would like to donate, you can deliver them there. Raffle tickets are 1 for $1 or 6 for $5. I understand that they have lots of raffle items donated and if you are a Facebook

awards presentation and the announcement of totals.

Teams for the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County included: St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church Guns-n-Hoses Abel’s Quik Shop Monroe County Cancer Supporters The Paris National Bank Granville Christian Church Paris First Christian Church Monroe Manor 15 Diner Team Lifesavers The top fundraising team and taking home the trophy for 2013 was Guns-n-Hoses, while Brooke Rentschler was recognized as Spirit Award winner and Paris First Christian Church walked the most laps. .

“I am so pleased with the turnout for the 2013 Relay For Life of Monroe County!” said ACS Community Development Manager Ginger Hodson.

“This is such a great Relay.”

The committee was quick to send out appreciation to the City of Paris for the barricades and the Monroe County Commissioners for donating the facilities and the electric.

“It was a great night the cancer beating spirit was here,” said Chairman Ali Rentschler.

The wrap up meeting, where additional monies can be turned in, for the 2013 relay For Life of Monroe County is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, July 18.

2012 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT MO2010488

This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made to provide safe drinking water.

Attencion!

Este informe contiene información muy importante. Tradúscalo o prequntele a alguien que lo entienda bien.

[Translated: This report contains very important information. Translate or ask someone who understands this very well.]

What is the source of my water?

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturallyoccurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Our water comes from the following source(s): Our drinking water is supplied from another water system through a Consecutive Connection (CC). To find out more about our drinking water sources and additional chemical sampling

results, please contact our office at the number provided below.

Source Water Assessment: The Department of Natural Resources conducted a source water assessment to determine the susceptibility of our water source to potential contaminants. This process involved the establishment of source water area delineations for each well or surface water intake and then a contaminant inventory was performed within those delineated areas to assess potential threats to each source. Assessment maps and summary information sheets are available on the internet at http://maproom.missouri.edu/swipmaps/pwssid.htm. To access the maps for your water system you will need the State-assigned identification code, which is printed ar the top of this report. the Source Water Inventory Project maps and information sheets provide a foundation upon which a more comprehensive source water protection plan can developed.

Why are there contaminants in my water?

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: A. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

B. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

D. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

E. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Natural Resources prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department of Health regulations establish limits from contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

How might I become actively involved?

If you would like to observe the decision making process that affect drinking water quality or if you have any further questions about your drinking water report, please call us at 660-291-5235 to inquire about scheduled meeting or contact persons.

Do I need to take any special precautions?

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Special Lead and Cooper If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily form materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. MADISON is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several waters, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tab for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or at http:// water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/index.cfm.––––

Definitions: MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible using best available treatment technology. AL: Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment for other requirements which a water system must follow. TT: Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. - 90th percentile: For lead and copper testing. 10% of test results are above this level and 90% are below this level. Level Found: is the average of all test results for a particular contaminant. Range of Detections: Shows the lowest and highest levels found during a testing period, if only one sample as taken, then this number equals the Level Found. MRLDG: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level, or the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. RRA: Running Annual Average, or the average of sample analytical results for samples taken during the previous four calendar quarters.

Abbreviations: PPB; parts per billion or micrograms per liter. PPM: parts per million or milligrams per liter. n/a: not applicable. NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, used to measure cloudiness in drinking water. MFL: Million fibers per liter, used to measure asbestos concentration. nd: not detectable at testing limits.

The state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Records with a sample year more than one year old are still considered representative.
