On Thursday, June 27, Monroe Manor celebrated their 40th Anniversary. Helping celebrate were current and past board members, former administrators including First row - Denny Hollingsworth. Second row - Mary Jane Havens, Anita Ness, Lois Spencer, Shari Embree, Carol Spencer, Vanessa Ashenfelter, Libby Youse. Third row - Paul Quinn, Guy Callison, Russell Wolfe, Dennis Kendrick. (Right) Administrator Shari Embree receives a proclamation from 40th District Rep. Jim Hansen.

As Monroe Manor Nursing Home District begins its fifth decade of service to the community, its staff took time Thursday night (June 27) to celebrate its first 40 year years, honor founders, acknowledge past administrators and board members, praise former employees, recognize today’s personnel, thank the venerable institution’s patrons and peek at the future.

A couple hundred visitors, residents and employees listened in the facility’s decorated dining room Thursday night as Manor administrator Shari Embree rededicated the institution to the people it was intended to serve, the residents of Monroe County and all others that need long-term skilled nursing care and physical therapy services.

Mrs. Embree, a 20-year employee, thanked those in attendance for their support of the Manor and asked for their continued backing of the facility that

opened its doors in 1973.

“Four decades ago, Monroe County was facing a medical crisis regarding the care of its aging and handicapped population,” Mrs. Embree said. “What was known colloquially as the County Farm, which still stands east of Paris on Highway 154 –that housed the ailing and infirm – was owned and staffed by a dedicated and devoted group of people; however, the structure was a relic of the 19th century, incapable of meeting new state and federal guidelines and intended as a last refuge for those that would never be able to take care of themselves.

She said that following the passage of new state legislation that allowed the creation of nursing home districts, several local people banded together and led the effort to place a bond issue and property tax on the ballot to establish a local nursing home district, and in 1970, the progressive voters of Monroe Coun-

ty overwhelming approved those issues, allowing construction of the nursing home.

Retired Missouri Appeals Court Judge Jim Reinhard was unable to attend Thursday night’s celebration, but said he considers his legal contribution to the establishment of Monroe Manor as his proudest accomplishment when he practiced law in Paris.

“My law partner and I, Floyd Lawson, did all the legal work for five of the most important public facilities the last fifty years in Paris,” the Judge said. “We handled Paris’ public swimming pool, the new high school, the garment factory, Mark Twain Country Club and the Manor. Of the group, and they’re all important, but the one I’m most proudest to have worked on is the establishment of the Manor. The facility is probably

Beat the Heat Cooling Centers Available

The heat has set in the Southwest with temperatures hitting the 119 plus degree mark in Phoenix. Temperatures have been moderate locally lately but as all know they can turn blistering at any time in July and August. Where can you go if you are without air conditioning or if you have an air malfunction?

Local residents, who are without air conditioning or just need to cool down, may visit local cooling centers to help keep cool during this oppressive heat.

In Paris, residents can go to the Senior Citizen’s Center for relief or they may use the library facilities during their operating hours.

“Anyone can come in and get relief from the heat,” said Senior Citizen’s Center Director Tara Sheffield. “Come beat the heat and stay cool with us - we enjoy the company.”

The Senior Center is open for heat relief from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., on any day the center is open (Monday through Friday) “The Community Building is air conditioned

and people can use that if necessary,” said Paris City Superintendent Phillip Shatzer.” All they have to do is check in with the city office personnel.”

For more information about the city community building call 660-327-4334.

People in Madison can use the Madison Community Center, on Main Street, for heat relief.

If a resident needs a ride to the center they can contact Carol Larson, at the Community Center, at 660-291-5478 or for information contact the Madison City Clerk, at 660-291-5235.

In Monroe City, the Senior Center has been designated a “cooling center.” The center is open from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturday. Call 573-735-2131 for additional information.

During the summer, heat and humidity can cause serious health problems with little or no warning, and with highs in the 90’s and not much

Pets and Fireworks Don’t Mix: The loud crack and boom of fireworks can frighten animals and cause even the most obedient pets to behave out of character. A startled dog or cat may hide or try to escape the noise by digging under, chewing through or climbing over fences. To help make the holiday fun for humans and safe for pets, the Humane Society of Missouri has a few tips for this Fourth of July holiday.

To keep your pet safe - do: Give your pet a quiet, cool place to retreat inside where sounds are less intense. Dogs and cats are sensitive to loud noises as they can be painful to their ears. Keeping them inside will also protect them from stray fireworks or from those who may seek to intentionally harm pets with fireworks.

JUST A THOUGHT

UST ASK DAVE...

From the desk of the Editor

What Will We Leave Behind?

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Courage and Solidarity...

These words came from a television show recently (Under the Dome) but they just might have well as come from any of our local municipalities.

I have talked about this before but it is always worth repeating.

Anytime anything happens in our local towns there is someone there to pick up the ball and run with it (I have switched to a football mind set as we are getting closer to football season).

This is witnessed by the numerous fundraisers after the loss of a young member of our community family. One after another people step up and take the lead. It reminds me of a story my grandfather used to tell me when I was young about Canadian geese. He told me that each goose during migration, for the betterment of the whole flock, will take their turn leading the V formation for at least 10 minutes to give the other geese a chance to rest while drafting the other birds. It exhausts the lead goose but they do it for the betterment of the entire flock.

Aren’t we lucky that we have leaders like this in all our local towns. These individuals are being positive citizens and laying down their time and efforts just as the lead goose does to lead the flock, these amazing “ordinary” citizens lay down their own personal time to organize and make sure that each of these amazing fund-

DAVID EALES

raising event is a huge success. Whether that is our two cancer major fundraisers, a benefit BBQ, a 5K race/walk for grandpa or for the family of a youth taken much too early - it is a task that is readily volunteered for with a line at the door.

It is nice to live in the shadow of these individuals.

It is a nice feeling to know that no matter what happens in the community not only do you have leaders to step up and plan and organize but you have the rest of us that will follow these leaders, help with the heavy lifting and then fill in the event with large numbers to help and donate of our money, our time and definitely our support and prayers.

It is times such as these, when the communities are facing tough event after event and yes even after event, that you look toward the skies and search for that leading goose - knowing that just as he leads the flock, soon when needed another lead community member will step forward to lead the “flock.” It makes us proud to be live in the local area!

Have a great week!

MY TURN Mid Year Checkup

When we turned the calendar for July 1 this year, we also made it half way through 2013. With the fourth of July weekend and a rainy forecast, it may be a good chance to sit down and take some time to see how we did so far this year and verify or change our projections for the balance of 2013.

For those of us that make New Year’s resolutions, we have only half the time left to make good on those promises we made to ourselves in January, if we can remember what they were.

If we are in business or farming, a look at the bottom line so far may or may not be entirely helpful before harvests or sales of livestock or if your income is based on traffic or is seasonal. But a comparison with the same times

last year may be helpful.

It may also be helpful to see if there really is time and resources left for that vacation this summer or if Fall, when it is cooler and gas and other prices go down, wouldn’t be better this year. And finally, wouldn’t a mid-year look at what the kids have done so far this summer, be a good idea? Are they having time to enjoy being kids this summer? And is that good time being balanced with at least an informed reading schedule with trips to the library as well as to the pool, or the lake? Time does fly and a mid-year pause to see where we have been so far and where we plan to be on December 31 seems like time well spent especially in these uncertain and uneasy times.

The recent Supreme Court decisions have made it clear that the new conservative majority may well have turned into what conservatives have denounced for a long time in criticizing court decisions. They have arguably become activist judges. They have stricken down the Defense of Marriage Act and rejected a lawsuit over Proposition 8 that sought to uphold a ban on same sex marriages in California, overruling first the Congress and then citizens attempting to pass a

state referendum.

Then the court found a key portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act unconstitutional after Congress had in 2006 extended the act by 390-33 in the House and 98-0 in the U.S. Senate. The court has also signaled to a court of appeals that it should take a hard look at the affirmative action admissions at the University of Texas. Looks like even the Supremes can be activists when there are chances to make serious changes.

Activism is as _______ _______.

I attended a funeral last weekend that had a huge impact on me. The man who died was only 28 years old. I did not know him very well but I am very close to some of his family members. His death left people asking why. His death left people with a void in their hearts. His death left people with unanswered questions. But after going to the funeral I found out that his death left a lot more than that.

It was very obvious after listening to the remarks from family and friends that his life inspired, encouraged and touched many people. He inspired them through his music and his love of God. He encouraged them with his smile, his character and his integrity. He touched them with his humor and big heart. It is sad to have such a remarkable man leave this earth so

LISA TALTON

soon but it is also amazing to see such a young man leave so many positive imprints and inspirations that we who are still here can learn and grow from.

We do not know the day or time when we also will leave this world but hopefully we too can leave this world a better place. What imprints are we making in the world?

Are we taking time to affect the people around us in a positive way through our words, our actions and our giving? Are we working on mending broken relationships so nothing is left unresolved at least not on our part? Are we allowing our lives, our gifts and our talents to make a difference in this world?

As Time Goes By

All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue 90 Years Ago July 6, 1923 Contested With Mexico Champions: Mrs. B. E. Vaughn, Mrs. Penn Brace, Mrs. Anderson Blanton and Mrs. A. T. Vaughn, of Paris, spent Tuesday in Mexico as contestants in an all-day bridge tournament with the best talent of that town. The Paris players won the forenoon games, the afternoon series resulting in a tie. A heavy rain forced them to leave their car and come home on the train. The Mexico ladies will come to Paris Tuesday for a return game.

Highway Officials and Paris Citizens Adjust Differences On Right- Of- Way Project North of Town: On an agreement with the Paris Chamber of Commerence for a right- ofway guarantee for such changes as may be made on the state project north of Paris, officials of the State Highway Commission consented Tuesday to follow the old road to Salem except for some minor changes as may be necessary for cutting corners and getting a 60foot width. The compromise was reached after the officials inspected the old road and became convinced of the Mayor Evans for eliminating the objectionable short turns the engineers had been seeking to avoid. The highway, Mr. Peipmeier explained, would be treated to an additional coat of four to six inches of gravel.

Long Branch 11, Rowena 10: Long Branch added another victory to its 1923 record, Sunday, when Rowena was defeated 10 to 11, in one of the best games played by

Monroe County teams.

This coming Sunday Long Branch will answer the Oak Ridge challenge published in the Appeal a week or so ago. The game will be played at Oak Ridge.

75 Years Ago July 7, 1938 New High for Homer’s Cattle: The load of 1,000lb. yearling cattle Homer Martin sent to St. Louis, Wednesday, sold at 11c a pound Thursday morning, a new top for the year.

10 Pages Again This Week: Again this week the Appeal is forced to print 10 pages, two extra ones, because of the demands of advertisers for its space, and because of the large volume of county, national and foreign news it carries into nearly 3,000 Monroe County homes. Many money saving bargains are offered this week and subscribers are urged to read them.

If you want to learn what is happening, if you want your advertisement run where it will reach the greatest number of people, choose the Appeal.

The Biggest circulation gets the Biggest Results.

Fine Display of Fireworks: The best display of fireworks yet given at Paris was the one a huge crowd enjoyed at the fairground Monday night. The committee in charge managed so well that something was going off all the time. The High School Band, directed by Rev. H. M. Hunt, gave a very enjoyable concert before the display. At least one thousand automobiles were handled by traffic boys from the CCC camp, accident or delay occurred. Similar service was rendered by Marshall Rigg and Gus

think those thoughts but sometimes we just don’t get around to telling someone how we feel about them or what they did to encourage or inspire us in a time when we really needed it.

I had a lady at my church tell me one time: “Lisa, whenever you get a nudge to speak a kind word, to give a hug, to do a kind deed or to help meet a need-do it.”

She spoke those words to me over 15 years ago and I can still remember them like it was yesterday. I took those wise words and applied them to my life. My actions and words may not have always been received but more times than not they were. I believe if we listen close enough and have a willing heart, we all have those nudges and by acting on those nudges we, like the young man that passed away, can leave a positive impact and make a difference in this world.

Editor’s Note: Due to the holiday early printing - this is an achieve copy of Mrs. Talton’s article. Be sure to read a new article in next week;s Monroe County Appeal.

No matter who we are or where we have been or what we have done, it is not too late to start today.

We each have something special that we can share with others. We each have the ability to inspire, encourage and love people we see everyday but we have to make the choice to do so. We need to make the decision that we ARE going to positively affect this world.

We need to know that our life DOES matter and that our life WILL make a difference. We need to first see it, then proclaim it, believe it and then live it. Each day we are given is a gift and it is up to us what we do with that gift.

At the funeral there were cards after cards after cards read to us about how this young man touched their lives.

Their was a plethora of positive comments and compliments given by loved ones. I thought about how wonderful it was to hear them but also about how wonderful it would be if we could give those same kind of positive comments and compliments to the people who are still living in our lives. It’s not that we don’t

•• DID YOU KNOW? •• Change In America

We are watching America change right before our eyes.

Here are just a few highlights:

1. Immigration Bill has passed in the Senate. One of the newest ideas is to include 700 miles of fencing. At the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security this may or may not be true.

We should also be aware of this: “…nothing in this subsection shall require the Secretary to install fencing, or infrastructure that directly results from the installation of such fencing, in a particular location along the Southern border, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain effective control over the Southern border at such location.”

Source: www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/immigration-fencing- napolitanocruz/2013/06/24/id/511524 In other words Secretary Napolitano has direct control over the completion of this fence.

Also in the bill is this statement: “Illegal aliens would be granted legalized Registered Provisional Immigration status once Napolitano submits a fencing plan to Congress, even though she subsequently could choose not to put the fencing plan into full effect.”

Source: www.newsmax.com 2. The Supreme Court ruled the State not the Federal Government is going to be allowed to define what marriage really is. The people in California voted twice to define marriage as between a man and a woman. A Federal Court had overturned this vote and the Supreme Court passed down the decision that the Federal Court Ruling would stand. The Supreme Court allows gay marriage to continue in California regardless of what the people want.

3.

The President has outlined a new plan to decrease greenhouse gases.

Forty percent of U.S. carbon dioxide omissions and 1/3 of greenhouse gases, overall, come from electric power plants. President Obama wants to cut emissions by 17% below what is was in 2005 levels by 2020.

SENIOR NEWS Protect Your Boat During Hurricane

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Hurricane season traditionally runs from June to November, with August and September being the most volatile months for these violent storms. And with the potential of high winds, storm surges, rising sea levels, increased tides, and more than two or three inches of rainfall per hour, it’s absolutely crucial to plan ahead.

The National Hurricane Center can help keep you up-to-date on any hurricane or tropical storm-related weather events.

Once you’re confident that your family and home are secure, you can turn your attention to making sure your boat is prepped for the storm.

Before the Storm Prepare your boat for the hurricane season well in advance. Start with a detailed written list that includes: An evacuation plan. Your plan should include the removal of all detachable items, such as canvas, sails, dinghies, radios, cushions, and other equipment. If your boat is docked in a marina, talk to the operator so there are no questions or confusion when the time comes to tie up or pull your boat from the water.

Boat evacuation drills. Practice drills frequently to help prevent panic in case an unexpected hurricane hits.

Stocking of emergency supplies. Stock up on supplies ahead of time to avoid the likely shortages that occur once a hurricane alert is announced.

Charging your boat’s radio. Always charge the radio before your vessel leaves port, so you can always get upto-the-minute weather bulletins.

Securing essential documents. Keep boat insurance policies, photos of your vessel, registration, equipment inventory, contact phone numbers, and other essential documents in a safe, secure location on dry land.

When a Hurricane Is Imminent With global weather tracking, you generally have 12 to 24 hours of advance warning before a hurricane. Start implementing your plan as soon as possible after learning of a storm.

Prepare the boat. Turn off the boat’s electrical system and remove the battery. Take any moveable equipment off the vessel to prevent breakage. Lash down anything that can’t be removed, such as tillers, wheels, and booms.

Wrap protective covering wherever the ropes touch the boat to prevent chafing. Seal off all windows, doors, and hatches, and make sure to shut off your boat’s fuel lines.

If you plan to keep your vessel in the water. Anchor your boat with at least two anchors and position the boat’s bow in the direction of the prevailing winds. Ensure that anchor lines are 10 times the water depth at the mooring location to counteract the effects of a storm surge. Cover engine room vents and plug the stern’s exhaust pipes to prevent water from flooding your motor.

On dry land. For small, lightweight boats, it is best to trailer the vessel as far inland as possible. Lash the boat to the trailer securely and place blocks around the wheels to prevent the trailer from rolling. For bigger boats, lash the vessel to its storage cradle with several heavy lines. Depending on the weight of the boat, consider pumping water into the bilge to hold the vessel down more securely. Never leave the boat on davits or a hydraulic lift.

The United States Coast Guard has more details on how best to prepare your boat.

Check Your Boat Insurance A hurricane can be a very frightening experience, but with the right preparation you can help minimize loss. Make sure you have sufficient boat insurance — it can help protect you against many of the risks of owning and operating a boat. For more information, contact your local insurance agent.

Scientists do not agree on this issue at all. Some say man is the cause of the global warming or climate change, and others say that it is cyclical and not climate change. If this new plan goes into effect electricity rates will have to increase due to the cost of complying with the new regulations.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled “When Moses Broke Faith” from Deuteronomy 32:4853. The most patriotic thing we can do is walk by faith and not by sight. The life we live should be trusting God. God asks us to do special tasks that sometime are not easy and we may not want to do them. It’s a challenge to do the things that Jesus wants us to do. Moses was very saddened that he was unable to get into the Promised Land. He disobeyed when God told him to speak to the rock and instead he struck it – Numbers 20:1—13. When we disobey God there are definite consequences and we affect our families and friends and community.

June 13 at 8:30 am will be Men’s breakfast. June 21 will be a carry in dinner.

This week’s message was titled ‘The Forgiveness of Jesus’ and came from John 8:1-11. Scripture tells us that Jesus spent the night on the Mount of Olives. He had a long day dealing with Pharisees and the people in Jerusalem. Jesus needed to get before the Father in prayer to receive encouragement and comfort. Jesus knew how to deal with a tough day. Obviously it worked because Jesus went to the Temple to teach early the next morning.

As Jesus taught the people the Pharisees rushed in and interrupted the gathering. They had an adulterous woman who needed stoning. This was their lame plan to trap Jesus into discrediting himself. If Jesus said to stone her he would be inconsistent with himself because Jesus received sinners and Jesus would be inconsistent with the character of the Messiah who was to be meek and is to bring salvation, not judgment. If Jesus acquitted the woman the Pharisees would say Jesus came to destroy the Law of Moses and the prophets.

Jesus just ignored them and wrote in the dirt. The Pharisees pushed the issue thinking they had Jesus trapped. Jesus responded by telling them to look inside themselves and see if their own conscience convicted them of sin. If it did not, throw the first stone. Then Jesus went back to writing in the dirt. The Pharisees quietly snuck away in shame. Jesus could have really let them have it in front of the crowd of people but he did not.

Finally the guilty woman is alone with Jesus, one on one and face to face with the Son of God. All her accusers left and no one was there to condemn her. Jesus did not condemn her either. Jesus tells her to go and sin no more. The only way a person can stop sinning is by changing their nature. Man cannot do this without the power of Jesus in their life. Jesus was saying come have a new life in me. The church needs to learn to deal with people like Jesus did.

Terrible sins are committed by religious people in the name of righteousness. Usually this is because believers speak and react to quickly to things we know are ungodly in this world. We might need to take more time writing in the dirt before we speak. So often Christians try to demand that the world live as we are to live in Christ. Yelling at the world will not change them. Getting them to look inside themselves in the presence of Christ will be more effective. We cannot do God’s job and change people by intimidating them. We must remember that if not for the grace of God we would still be unregenerated sinners. Let us learn to treat others as Jesus did, with grace and forgiveness, building them up in love.

Patti then played guitar and sang the beautiful “Baptism Song” to little Kaylee Beckham prior to her getting baptised, along with her grandparents Max and Beth Tilt. There was a lovely ceremony for the family and welcoming Kaylee to South Fork.

Kaylee and Bobby Gash led the Offertory as Patti played “Amazing Grace” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “How Great Is Our God” as all retired to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts where “happy birthday” was sang to Curt Jackson and Jere Nelson.

Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are welcome and encouraged to attend to hear the word of the Lord.

This trail project has been in works well over a year with the Missouri Humanities Council.

“Heal me, Oh LORD, and I will be healed, save me and I will be saved, for You are my praise.” – Jeremiah17:14 Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“Oh Lord, How Excellent” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture read by Bro. Michael Thompson - Psalm 56:9-13 “Just Let Him In” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting) was directed by Minister Kelly Ballenger. 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.”

“Lord Do It” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “What Are We Trying To Satisfy” St. John 6:27, 4:10-14, 31-38 Ezekiel 7:19, 1:2-11 When you are dissatisfied, you will search for a substitute, and then you will become a substitute.

In St. John 4, Jesus knew the woman was not satisfied.

He purposely went to the well for her. Even if you had a bad past, Jesus will lovingly satisfy you with a better future. If you substitute God for anything else, you cheat yourself (verse 16). Don’t get caught up in satisfying your own appetite, so that you can’t think of others (verses 3038) What you are trying to satisfy is what you are connected to.

Time was offered at the altar for prayer and salvation.

Sunday Night Service “I’ll Say Yes Lord Yes” –sung by Bishop Long Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture read by Elder Maurice Berry – Psalm 33:4-6, 9 “Praise Him” – sung by Bishop Long Speaker-Minister Kelly Ballenger Spoke about ‘Perfect love and no fear.’

II Timothy 1:7 “Fear”- a feeling of uneasiness, apprehension, and concern. Fear is a curse because of disobedience that began in the Garden of Eden. Internal fears are based upon your own perception. Don’t waste time trying to figure out how YOU can fix things. We must strive to trust God every day.

I Samuel 17 King Saul and the army of Israel had fear of Goliath, but David chose to trust God as he did before and God turned fear into victory.

In every situation that causes fear, trust God to see you through because of His track record in Bible time as and even in your own life. Don’t forget what God has done. It is amazing what God can do with your fears if you trust Him. Smash the enemy by trusting God. Hebrews 13:5-6.

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!

The summer travel season is here, and thieves are just as ready as your cardholders.

While neural-network monitoring like FICO® Falcon® Fraud Manager certainly helps minimize risk, it’s always wise for your cardholders to be proactive in protecting themselves. Please feel free to share these simple fraud-fighting steps with your cardholders before they depart on vacation.

1. Contact your financial institution This is as much for cardholder convenience as safety. If your institution is unaware you’re traveling to Rome, for example, they may freeze your account when a purchase is made there.

Share as much detail as possible — dates, cities, how much you might spend, and how you can be reached.

2. Clean out your wallet Carrying a lot of credit and debit cards on vacation only increases the likelihood that one of them will become lost or stolen. Take only what you need, and make sure your limits are high enough to cover all expenses.

3. Make a stop at the copy machine

Copy or scan the front and back of each card you plan to take. Be sure your account number and toll-free customer service number are legible (if you’re traveling internationally, make sure you have appropriate phone numbers). Store the information somewhere other than where your card is, such as a hotel safe.

4. Keep an eye on your cards Food servers and store clerks can steal card information easily with a skimming device, so don’t let your cards out of sight. If that’s not possible, consider paying with cash. And remember, it’s perfectly OK to let your instincts guide you. If something seems fishy, go somewhere else.

5. Monitor your account frequently Checking your account balance is a great way to combat fraud. With the new SHAZAM® BOLT$™ mobile app, you can receive alerts to potential fraud on your smartphone or tablet and check your debit account balances as often as you’d like.

July 11, 12, 13, 2013

MArk Twain Old Threshers Tractor Cruise

Thursday, July 11 • 9 a.m. • Paris Fairgrounds Featured Tractors: International Harvester & Farmall

Activities to fill weekend at 44th Old Threshers Reunion

The 44th Annual Mark Twain Old Thresher’s Reunion opens Thursday, July 11, at the Paris Fairgrounds under the leadership of President Angie Fields.

Kick off begins with the 3rd Annual Poker Style Tractor Cruise starting at 9 a.m., with line-up at the south end of the Fairgrounds, at 8:30 a.m., on Thursday, July 11. Ray Coffman is the chairman of this event. Take your tractor for a drive and see the countryside. The entry fee includes lunch along the way.

The Annual Fish Fry, which is open to the public will start at 5:30 p.m., at the Old Thresher’s Building. The cost is $8 per plate and $4 for children six and under. We encourage everyone to come out and eat with us.

You can listen to music by “Johnny Ragsdale and Friends” while you enjoy your food. The Good Fish Are Back!

The gates open at noon on Friday and at 7 a.m., on Saturday. The flea market and craft show will

open at noon, on Friday, July 12. You will have all day Saturday to shop too, but don’t let that perfect bargain from a friendly vendor get away. Cindy Hultz is in charge of the flea market.

On Friday evening, you can see the Farm Draft Horse Pull beginning at 6 p.m., in the arena at the south end of the Fairgrounds. Please stay quiet while the horses are pulling. It can make all the difference in which team wins.

There will also be a Baby Show starting at 6 p.m., with registration at 5:15 p.m. This will include a Lil’ Mr. and Miss Contest open to 3 to 5 year olds. Cindy Hultz is heading up this event.

Friday evening comes to a close with music by a group named Tobacco Row Band. The old country music show will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Bring your appetite to the kick-off of Saturday’s events with a breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m., by the Old Threshers Association. At 10 a.m., on Sat-

urday, the Old Thresher’s Parade will be back downtown. Be sure to watch for Ray Coffman who is this year’s Parade Marshal. Be sure to give him a wave and a “Thank You.” There will be an Antique Car and Truck Show after the Parade on the west side of the Fairgrounds. Cars and Trucks must be 25 years old or older.

The Miniature Draft/ Pony Pull will take place at noon on Saturday in the arena. At 5 p.m., the Pro Draft Horse Pull will be held. There will be an overall first place trophy given to the winner of the Pro Pull. Other winners of the contest will be for Horsemanship, Best Matched Team, Best Dressed Team and Team Traveled Longest Distance. The demonstration of strength from the horses is a reminder of what life was like before tractors were invented.

You will be amazed at how much weight these beautiful horses can pull!

Spectators should remain quiet until each team’s pull

is complete. Go can sound like Whoa to a horse and their hearing is much better than humans.

The Kiddie Pedal Pull begins at noon. This event is open to children 3 to 8 years of age, and takes place at the West Shelter.

There will be an Auction at 12:30 p.m., by the Food Shack. Included will be handmade quilts and lots of other good stuff.

Manor Anniversary

the most important and under appreciated institution in the county.”

Reinhard heaped praise on the Manor’s founding board of directors: Harold Vaughn, Otto Roth, Harkey Quinn, Miriam VanHuss, James Thompson and Marvin Sudsberry.

“That group, starting in 1969, got the property tax and bond issue on the ballot and led the effort to pass them; neither were easy tasks. They started from scratch and in four years had an operational nursing home.

You can never give them too much credit,” Judge Reinhard stated. “We can’t forget our friends in the legislature, either. The late Senator Dick Southern and Representative Ozzie Osbourne worked in Jefferson City to allow the establishment of nursing home districts.”

In her remarks, Mrs. Embree thanked 29 former and present members of the Manor’s board of directors, her seven preceding administrators and the more than 1,000 employees that have worked at the facility, for their efforts in making the Manor a respected and recommended nursing home. She singled out a dozen people for introduction: they included three former administrators, Vanessa Ashenfelter, Carol Spencer and Libby Youse; five former board members, Paul Quinn, Lois Spencer, Mary Jane Havens, Mary Jo Thompson Johnson Woods and Anita Ness, and four current board members, Guy Callison, Russell Wolfe, Dennis Kendrick and Denny Hollingsworth, all of whom were in attendance,.

Mrs. Embree informed the crowd how the Manor has changed over the past decades and of new improvements to the facility, including the new 3,100-square feet therapy room addition now being constructed.

“In the past 40 years, the Manor has changed from just being a respected skilled nursing home to incorporating both that mission and concurrently becoming a highly recommended in and out patient physical therapy facility,” Mrs. Embree said.

“We continue to develop and upgrade our building and grounds. In the past decade, because of generous benefactors of the Barnett and Warbritton families, we’ve added our north entrance, offices, portico and dining room. In the past two years we’ve laid 30,000 square feet of carpeting and refurbished 20 of our residents’ rooms.

In the fall we will see the completion of a new 3,100 square feet therapy and rehabilitation addition.”

Mrs. Embree presented Josh Miller, assistant head of the Manor’s dietary department, to the audience and announced he’d been chosen Missouri Health Care Association District XIV Employee of the Year, representing 24 nursing homes and more than 2,000 nursing home workers in northeast Missouri. In August, Josh will be competing against five other nursing home employees for the MHCA state employee of the year.

Mrs. Embree ended her remarks by introducing 40th District Missouri State Representative Jim Hansen.

Mr. Hansen, a first term

COMMUNITY NEWS

u See Monroe Manor on page 1A state representative from Frankford in Pike County, presented the Manor with a House of Representatives resolution Thursday night congratulating the facility on its four decades of service to Missourians.

The representative echoed Mrs. Embree’s remarks praising and thanking former and current staff and administrative personnel. He lauded the community for supporting Monroe Manor during the past 40 years.

After the formal ceremonies, Monroe County’s own Becky Blackaby, an accomplished vocalist, accompanied by a acoustic guitarist, performed nearly an hour set of country music favorites while guests dined on a spread of food courtesy of Kohl’s Wholesale Foods, the Manor’s dietary supplier.

While the audience was

enjoying the evening and thinking about the previous 40 years, the Manor’s board of directors met to discuss the future.

The board had a special meeting Thursday night regarding the purchase of property. Board president Guy Callison said during the session his group approved the purchase of nearly five acres of land adjoining the Manor’s south boundary from two different sellers, Powell Carman and the Bank of Hannibal.

Mr. Callison said immediate plans for the new property included expanding the Manor’s parking lot, and perhaps sometime in the future the facility might consider a new development for assisted senior living.

Heat Prevention

relief at night, Monroe County residents are reminded to take precautions keeping them safe from heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Last year, 47 Missourians died from heat exhaustion and heat stroke,

and health professionals from the Monroe County Health Department and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services remind residents that it’s not only the very young and very old who are affected. (See chart 1)

u See Animals/Heat on page 1A Their retreat could be a basement or an interior room like a bathroom. Provide access to clean, cool water.

Close all windows and turn on a radio or television to mask the sounds. Have your pet’s favorite toys and bed to comfort him. o If you can’t avoid taking your dog to the festivities, keep your pet on a short, secure leash at all times and watch for signs of stress. Never use a retractable leash in these situations. Have a back-up plan should your dog become overwhelmed by the activities.

Make certain your dog wears a collar and ID tag at all times. For more secure identification, pet owners should consider microchipping as a permanent way to identify pets and help ensure a safe return if lost.

Keep your veterinarian’s phone number handy in case of any medical emer-

gencies.

To keep your pet safe do not: o Don’t leave your pet unattended in a parked car.

When the outside temperature is above 70 degrees, the heat inside your car can climb to more than 100 degrees in only minutes. Your pet can suffer dehydration, heat stroke or death. o Don’t take pets to festivities. The excitement and noise could cause them to become nervous and run away.

Don’t let your pet loose or leave your pet in a yard unattended during the holiday weekend, even if you are only a few backyards away. A stray bottle rocket could frighten or injure your dog.

Don’t confine a fearful dog on a chain or in a small area such as a crate. This could increase his panic.

Don’t punish your pet for his behavior related to the loud noises. It will only make him more afraid.

Want More Quail?

Delay mowing waterways and odd areas to benefit wildlife Delay mowing of odd areas until late summer or fall and wildlife like bobwhite quail, wild turkeys, and cottontail rabbits will benefit. Waterways, roadsides, and other odd areas are often mowed this time of year to control brush and for cosmetic purposes. Provided that the grass is not being used for hay, mowing can be delayed until mid-July or August

with only positive effects.

Bobwhite quail typically nest from May through September with most nesting occurring around mid-July. Mowing during the nesting season contributes directly to quail mortality when nests and incubating adults are destroyed and indirectly by reducing food supplies and overhead cover. Studies done in Missouri indicate that approximately 25 percent of females will attempt a second nest even after successfully hatching a first. Mowing greatly reduces their options for new nesting sites.

The cool wet spring that we experienced this year likely delayed the nesting of the bobwhite quail and increases their

Remember these basic tips from your local health department to protect you and your family during severe heat and heat emergencies: · Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone. · Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles. · Eat light, well-balanced meals at regular intervals. · Drink plenty of water and limit intake of alcoholic beverages. · Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible. · Protect your face and head by wearing a widebrimmed hat. Wear sunscreen. · Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day; use the buddy system when working in extreme heat and take frequent breaks. · Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as libraries, schools, movie theaters, shopping malls and other community facilities. · Be aware of medications that may impair the body’s response to heat, including antihistamines, tranquilizers and some

need for summer nesting areas. It should also be noted that mowing is not the only option for controlling woody vegetation.

Spot spraying woody vegetation can keep brush at bay and keep overhead cover for your wildlife.

Worried about what the neighbors will say about your unmowed ditches?

The Mark Twain Chapter of Quail Forever will provide free “Quail Habitat Management Area” signs to let your neighbors know that you are doing the right thing for wildlife on your farm.

medications for heart disease.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) monitors high temperatures and humidity across the state to prevent heatrelated illness and death.

The elderly and the chronically ill are more vulnerable to the effects of high temperatures.

They perspire less and are more likely to have health problems requiring medications that can impair the body’s response to heat. Many prescription medications make individuals more sensitive to the heat. Some of these medications include antipsychotics, major tranquilizers, antihistamines, over-the-counter sleeping pills, antidepressants, heart drugs and some anti-Parkinsonian agents.

Each year many Missourians suffer from heat-related illnesses, with some cases resulting in death.

During prolonged periods of high temperatures, air conditioning is the best preventive measure.

If you have any questions or concerns about a heat related issue, immediately see a medical professional.
