Just Too Busy

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

$28,000... As I was taking pictures of the presentation from the Eastern Missouri Crappie Club to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters and two Relay For Life groups, the Relay For Life of Monroe County and the Relay For Life of Lincoln County - I was both amazed and humbled. There were some wet eyes on both sides - some on the donator side and many on the donation side as the money was presented to these hard working groups.

These fun loving sportsmen and woman first enjoyed fishing on the lake, then enjoyed the weigh-in and prize presentations and then also enjoyed and revelled in their donations to the groups.

DAVID EALES

Isn’t this what we have talked about time and time again? Neighbor helping neighbor, friend helping friend, stranger helping stranger...

Personally, I would like to say thank you to the Eastern Missouri Crappie Club members for truly making Saturday, July 13, a day that will live in my memory for many Saturdays to come.

MY TURN

The Zimmerman Trial The acquittal of George Zimmerman by a Florida jury in the death of Trayvon Martin has many facets, has caused strong feelings on both sides and teaches a few reasons as well. One of the things that stands out in my mind was the call for a calm and reasoned reaction to the jury’s verdict, whatever it was going to be from the parents of Trayvon Martin as the case went to jury.

Losing a child is a parent’s worst nightmare and the parents in this case were remarkable under these circumstances. Our system of justice, though never perfect, worked as it was designed, offering a fair and impartial trial before a jury of his peers to Mr. Zimmerman. Those demonstrating for “Justice for Trayvon” are calling for retribution rather than justice under our system.

This is understandable when a young life is lost to a violent act and no one is held accountable. The six ladies on the jury were by all accounts attentive, hardworking and serious in their duties. They had to know (and hear) how many people wanted them to decide the fate of Mr. Zimmerman. To limit their decision to the facts and evidence before them took a measure of courage which all juries should display when necessary. For those of us who claim to be conservative there are some misgivings about our federal government being asked to pursue Mr. Zimmerman after his acquit-

tal on such criminal civil rights violation as may reasonably be charged both because they didn’t agree with the verdict and because he should pay some price for his actions.

It remains to be seen if the Justice Department will be able to say they don’t have a civil rights case if they don’t have enough evidence to bring one on, if they will file one anyway in response to the pressure to do so. We live in an imperfect world where outcomes are not like the movies where the good guys always win in the end and life continues to be unpredictable and often unfair. There will probably be a multi million dollar civil lawsuit against Mr. Zimmerman which, even if successful, will net nothing but publicity and notice by the press. Mr. Zimmerman, right or wrong, will live out a tainted life as a marked man, a later day O. J. Simpson, without credibility or respect from the general public and be known mostly for having done something terrible and gotten away with it.

There is no reason for the death of Trayvon Martin that satisfies most of us.

But then there is no reason for the deaths of drive by shooting victims, kids killed by drunk driver or babies found in trash cans. We can only sympathize and try very hard to work at making it better and safer.

Dear Editor, Recently, I was sponsored by the American Legion Post 221 in Paris, and attended the 74th session of The American Legion Boys State of Missouri, in Warrensburg. I feel so honored to have been chosen! This year’s motto was “A Week to Shape a Lifetime!” This brief statement is very true as it is an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I was so lucky to be able to meet many different people from around

the state of Missouri with so many different life stories. And, this year I had the privilege of attending along with the Delegation from China, made up of students my own age. This was the first year representatives from a foreign country had attended, and I felt privileged to be a part of that experience.

While attending Boys State, I met some wonderful students, gained an insight to our local government, and through

We wake up knowing we are blessed as we look out the window and see the bright sun shining in the blue colored sky.

We think about how awesome and wonderful this earth is and how we need to appreciate all the beauty that is right in front of us each and every day.

We do not need to search for it, wait for it or even work for it. It is here day in and day out for us to enjoy, appreciate and gaze upon.

But so many days we pass these God given beauties by rushing to do this and rushing to do that. We will give ourselves to tedious time-consuming tasks that bring upon stress but then tell ourselves we don’t have time to enjoy the deep colors of the now bloomed flowers or to watch the rhythmic sway of the leaves in the wind or relax and hang with our Creator.

We are just too

LISA TALTON busy. Or are we?

We look at our children and know we are blessed as we watch them smile, play, laugh and carry on.

We think about how precious they are to us and how we need to make sure we appreciate them and speak kind words to them each and every day.

We do not have to wait for them to do something good, or to earn it or until the time is right. We just need to make the time, put forth the effort and do it.

But so many days we don’t take the time. We are too busy with work, cleaning the house, running errands and the demands of life. We don’t have time for them yet we can rearrange our schedule for a work

As Time Goes By

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

90 Years Ago July 20, 1923 Paris College Boys Make Big Wages: Raymond Jackson, Elton Moore and Harold Arnold, college boys from Paris, made $5 a day in the harvest around Genesee, Kansas, and are getting $6 a piece a day as members of the Amos Bennett threshing crew. Moore wrote his father several weeks ago that he wanted a hard job for the summer, so he would be in trim for the football squad when he went back to William Jewell College. He is satisfied that he got that sort but likes the work.

Famous Writer Visits Paris: Edgar White, of the Macon Chronicle- Herald, spent several hours in Paris last Thursday evening, en-route back home from the Florida picnic.

Mr. White is Publicity Director for the Mark Twain Memorial Park Association. Through his efforts illustrated stories of great merit are being run in metropolitan newspaper and magazines all over the nation. For a quarter of a century. White has been known all over America as a magazine writer and newspaper man. The Macon-Chronicle under his management is one of the very best small town dailies in the country.

Claude Sets New Driving Record: By driving 360 miles from his home west of Paris to Ft. Dodge, Ia., between daybreak and 9 in the evening of the same day, and making it back on the same schedule, Claude Young seems to have set a new Monroe County record

for a trusty little Ford. His family accompanied him.

They went for a visit with Mrs. Young’s relatives. Mr. Young reports old corn selling at 63c and old oats at 24c up there. The farmers are expecting new oats to bring only 20c. Bumper crops were in sight all the way.

75 Years Ago July 21, 1938 Six From Monroe County: Six Monroe County boys entered the Citizens Military Training School at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, last week. They were: Ira R. Lewellen, Thomas Edwin Heathman, Eugene Noonan and Post Shearer of Paris, and Darrell E. Watson, of Monroe City, and Warren Wood, near Granville.

Another Fine View: A year ago the Appeal rated as Monroe County’s Beautiful Landscape No. 1 the one that could be seen on Highway 24 at the Indian Creek crossroads when the traveler was looking west at sundown. But Indian Creek has another view that is even finer. It is the one the visitor sees from the street along the north side is St. Stephens Catholic Church when looking west. The landscape, including fertile bottom lands and a tree-crowned hill beyond, is beautiful beyond description, especially when seen at sunset. Nor is there a prettier or more restful scene in Northeast Missouri than the three modern buildings just across the street from the church and the cemetery on the south during the twilight hour.

Keep these views in mind when you go to the Indian

helping people so if someone needed help I was going to help them. It didn’t matter if I had ten other things to do that same day I would just juggle things around and make it work. The problem was I started burning the candles at both ends and it wasn’t fair to my family.

The other thing I learned is that there are a lot of other awesome people out there who are willing to lend a helping hand. The first time I had to tell a lady I wasn’t going to serve on a board was really tough. I went back and forth if I was going to do it or not but I knew I wasn’t suppose to so I finally told her I wasn’t going to. Then a couple days later she told me she found another lady to serve on it who was really excited about being able to be a part of it. That showed me God already had it worked out.

So even though we may think we do not have enough time to enjoy our families, children, God, or His beauties- we may just need to take a few sides off our plates.

We are just too busy. Or are we?

I use to say this all the time. “I am so busy.

I am just so busy.” But then I realized I was so busy because I was making myself busy. I kept putting way too much on my plate.

The worst part was a lot of it wasn’t suppose to be on there so it made my plate too full knocking off the things that were suppose to be on there.

I had to get real with what mattered the most to me and make sure those people and things were getting my attention and time first. Then if I had anything left I could add them on.

I also had to learn it was okay to say no to people. This was very hard for me at first. I felt if I was asked to do something then I should do it. I love

NECAC Deputy Director for Community Health Programs Brenda Fuqua

The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC), a 12-county area social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency, is warning senior citizens about a scam involving so-called free medical alert services.

NECAC Deputy Director for Community Health Programs Brenda Fuqua said the scam sounds innocent, but could end up costing seniors a lot of money.

“Some of the assistance provided by NECAC’s In Home Health Services program are contracted through the Northeast Missouri Area Agency on Aging, which forwarded information to us about this scam,” Fuqua said.

“NECAC is taking a proactive role in promoting the safety of our clients by getting the word out to those who are vulnerable to such scams.”

Fuqua outlined how the scam works.

Seniors receive a computerized automatic telephone call saying that their

Salt River Community Care now offers Outpatient Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy along with Inpatient stays for short or long term.

Contact us at 573-588-4175 or check out our web site at www.saltrivernursinghome.com 142 Shelby Plaza Shelbina, MO Libby Youse, Administrator.

children, doctors or insurers have put them on a list to get free medical alert services, she said. The seniors are asked to press 5 on their phone to accept the free gift, then are called back by a live operator and asked for a credit card number or other payment.

Fuqua said some seniors have been asked to provide Social Security numbers and other identifying information.

“We urge seniors not to fall victim to what sounds like a good deal,” she said.

“It’s not, and it could end up costing you a great deal of money down the road.

Never give out any private information over the telephone. It’s not rude to hang up on someone who’s trying to rip you off.”

The Missouri Senior Medicare Patrol urges people who’ve been contacted or victimized by scammers to call 1-888515-6565.

NECAC contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other notfor profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. The agency’s Central Administration Offices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers operated in each county.

Protect Your Home Based Business

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

More than half of America’s businesses are homebased, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. But setting up headquarters in your home doesn’t mean your homeowners insurance will adequately protect your operation.

“A typical homeowners policy provides about $2,500 of coverage,” says Loretta Worters, vice president of communications for the Insurance Information Institute. That usually will cover equipment— but it won’t offer liability protection or cover you for lost data or income.

Do your research to protect yourself and your home business. “An important thing for any business owner to do when starting out is to create a business plan,” says Worters. “That includes having the right type and amount of insurance coverage.”

Coverage Options In general, home-based business owners have three basic options: Homeowners policy endorsement: This is added to a homeowners policy to increase coverage on business equipment. There also may be the option to buy a homeowners liability endorsement for protection in the event someone—say, a delivery person—is injured on your property.

In-home business policy: An in-home business policy provides more comprehensive coverage for business equipment and liability than a homeowners policy endorsement. These policies, which may also be called in-home business endorsements, vary significantly depending on the insurer.

Business owners policy: Also called a BOP, this plan offers the most comprehensive coverage for small- and mid-size businesses. It protects against many of the same things that in-home business policies do, but offers even more coverage.

Other Considerations Being a savvy home-business owner is about more than having the right insurance. Other factors to consider include: Additional insurance: Re-evaluate your coverage as your business grows and your needs change.

Zoning laws: Visit your local planning office to review restrictions that could affect your business.

Licenses and permits: Find out which licenses and permits you need to run your business legally.

Taxes: Talk to a tax professional about tax laws for home-based businesses. Also research money-saving deductions, such as the home office deduction Not sure if you’re adequately protected? Meet with your State Farm® Agent to discuss the insurance needs of your home-based business.

Pastor John Grimmett

“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.” – Hebrews 1:3 Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30am “Shifting The Atmosphere” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture read by Bro. Michael ThompsonPsalm 134 “Just Want To Praise 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.”

“Pulling Me Through” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “Who Or What Are You Addicted To?” I Corinthians 16:13-16 Addicted-determined; devoted; ordained; habitual surrender-verse 15 James 1:22-25 Why do we struggle?

Because we hear the Word but don’t do what it says.

The “perfect law of liberty” - the Word.

Look into and continue in the Word. Form a habit of doing the Word and be blessed from what the Word says-verse 25.

Hebrews 1:15-17 Be habitual in your praises to God, to doing good, and witnessing.

These habits please God. Hebrews 6:10-12 God obligates Himself

It was a special day in our church. After completing training, four new deacons were ordained from different walks of life.

They were Wayne Daffron, Mark Dowell, Ed Putnam and Steve Ensor. Their testimonies included life’s experiences in the military, their family life, their studies in the church and each man’s Christ led life.

David Charlick gave a testimony and was reinstated as a deacon having been ordained in Paris First Baptist Church in 1968.

Reverend Wesley Hammond gave the charge to the church family and the deacons. God has initiated all things and has established how they are to be. In Ephesians 4:1-16, Paul teaches about living a worthy life through the Holy Spirit and working together in unity. We can all serve Christ, some as apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers. The Body of Christ may be built up to reach unity in faith. In Acts 6, the church called helpers who were affirmed by God. The helpers were to be full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. 1Timothy 3 also gives qualifications.

Vacation Bible School is schedule for Saturday night, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Aug. 17 during the worship hour.

We are still seeking names of soldiers in the

combat zones in order to send them a care package.

Contact Brenda Coffman with names.

We invite you to join in our projects as we serve our community. We also invite you to spend an hour with God and people in prayer and praise with the Granville Church the first, third and fifth Sundays at 11 a.m. (July 21, August 4 and 18). Sunday School is at 10 a.m. every Sunday for all ages and is followed by communion on the Sundays when there is no worship service.

On Sunday, July 14, 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: Remember to pray for the youth trip to Canada, they leave on July 15 and will return on July 29. June 21 will be a carry in dinner. The Mountain Aires will play at Clarence on July 22 at 7 p.m..

This week’s message was titled ‘Know Who You Are’ and came from 1Pt.2:9-10. There are many sources that try to define who we are. The world tells Christians that they are old fashioned and live in the past. Our education system tells Christians they are uneducated and have a ‘flat earth’ mentality. Our government is now starting to tell Christians there is no room for them at society’s discussion table because we trust in words from long ago.

The most important definition of who Christians are comes from God. This is the only real perspective that matters to the Christian because God has the proper perspective on life. God knows the real truth of all matters and does not shade the truth to fit a desired outcome. God says Christians are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people.

Being the royal priesthood of God has some great benefits. You have access to God through prayer each moment of your entire life. Just think, you can talk to God as you desire and know He will hear you. You have a God that desires the best in life for you and will direct you

to that good if you will listen to Him. You have the opportunity to have a close relationship with God himself.

Along with the benefits come great responsibilities. To perform the work of the priesthood the Christian must live a life pertaining to God and not the world. This is what God has chosen this generation for. Living a holy life is not easy or always fun. It can be hard work for we must live in the world but not be of the world. It seems many priests today have forgotten or ignored this part of the Bible.

The priesthood has a message of praise about our God. Can lips that say mean and ugly things praise God with a clean conscience? Christians can praise God with their lips but the real praise God desires is in the way we live our lives. Our lives are to be a witness that we believe God is true and faithful to His promises to us. Our conduct in all matters shows what we believe. Praise God with your life, not just your lips.

Christians have a message of mercy pertaining to our God. We have found how to receive mercy from God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The world needs to know how to obtain mercy also.

I know the ground is getting harder to plow but we do not give-up but dig deeper while trusting Christ for the results.

God has put Christians in the world to be a witness to His glory, grace, mercy, and love. Be a faithful priest and let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father who is in heaven.

On Sunday, July 14, Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance following the prelude by Jane Akers, organist.

As the “Communion Hymn” was sung, elders, Gary Wilson and Pete Olney, went forward to serve with Guy Callison and Johnny Ragsdale serving as deacons. After sharing of communion was shared and collection of offerings, an offertory prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

“Walking a Different Path” was the title of the morning message which referenced Luke 10:25-37 – the story of the Good Samaritan. “Take The Name of Jesus with You” was the hymn of invitation and dedication. A closing prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” ended morning worship.

Teachers from four states tour Twain sites On Thursday, July 11, twenty-one teachers from four states (Illinois, Missouri, Massachusetts and Kansas) who were studying Mark Twain as part of a workshop put on

by Henry Sweets of the Hannibal Boyhood home and Museum took time out of their busy schedule to visit the Mark Twain Shrine and Birthplace Museum, at Florida and the Quarles Farmstead, four miles north of Florida, home of Twain›s Uncle John A. Quarles, known locally as the “Missing Link” of the Mark Twain sites. This “Missing Link” is being developed and rebuilt by local historian/ archaeologist Karen Hunt of Stoutsville, into what some day will be a LivingHistory Farm Museum depicting the 1840›s.

The site was purchased in 1991 with this goal in mind. Since that time two film studios, one from Japan and one from Connecticut, have filmed documentaries about Mark Twain on the site

On Monday, June 24, another group, which was from Quincy University, toured both sites. At the Quarles› site, the groups were shown the archaeology excavations in progress, the remains of the smokehouse, the kitchen ell and the north pen of the Quarles› house as well as artifacts recovered from the excavations over the past seven years. The south section of the dogtrot log house has been rebuilt. The logs for the kitchen ell, smokehouse and north part of log house are on the property. Ms Hunt said she was trying to raise money to complete these structures.

The money raised will help complete the nucleus, paying for equipment, carpenters and supplies.

In September, volunteer archaeology digs will be held each Saturday as part of Missouri Archaeology Month. The site will be open to visitors from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on each of those days. For information all 573-735-2784.

Luke 10:25-37 was read

by Su Todd. Pastor›s sermon was “Trying to Be a Good Christian”. Consider the blessings of being good neighbors and of the fellowship. Faith in Jesus means ‹to pass it on” not only in words but by what we do.

“Pass It On” was the invitation hymn. Singing “God Be With You Till We Meet Again” closed the service.

iors face! Jesus sent out seventy plus two disciples into the world. Share the gospel of the good news - God is working in others also. Rejoice that your name is written in heaven...we are all called to help those in need.

Take the blessings of God into the world - good news of great joy! Is Jesus happy with our response to Him today? You are qualified to go out into the world, because you have the faith of Jesus Christ - as He has given us His word! Jesus calls us everyday to go out and put a smile on His face!

Trust and Obey!

Kaylee Beckham led the offertory as Patti played “Take My Life and Let It Be” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Lead on, O King Eternal” as all retired in fellowship.

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

•• DID YOU KNOW? •• Zimmerman trial...

There is strong evidence the Federal Government, using taxpayer money, help to organize demonstrations in Florida following the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman.

The Community Relations Service (CRS) arm of the Department of Justice (DOJ) ,was sent to Florida to help organize and manage rallies and protest against George Zimmerman. The CRS was set up by the Civil Rights act of 1964 and is supposed to be discreet and act as a mediator. Thousands of emails and other documents reveal a much more active role was played. A group of college students barricaded the Police Chief, Bill Lee’s office and demanded he be fired.

He was fired because he refused to arrest Zimmerman. He refused because he did not feel he had probable cause or evidence to arrest him.

Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin. A verdict should be announced this week. (A verdict of Not Guilty was announced Saturday night, July 13) Source: www.judicialwatch.org As a side note; Zimmerman’s prosecutor, Angel Corey was indicted by a secret grand jury for falsifying the warrant and complaint in this case.

The Lesters will appear at the Madison Christian Church on Sunday, July 28, at 6:30 p.m.

The Lesters, from St. Louis, often called “St. Louis’ First Family of Gospel Music,” have been sharing the Word through song for four generations. With more than an 80-year history and numerous albums behind them, the group proudly brings the third & fourth generation to the stage for a sound that is 100% “PURE LESTER.” Truly, The Lesters are — “A FAMILY FOR THE FAMILY.” Their signature sound is a blend of inspired arrangements and vocal artistry, led by longtime performer BRIAN LESTER. Brian, who also serves as emcee and manager, has been singing with the family since he was four.

His vibrant voice and easy rapport with audiences ministers to young and old alike.

As a fourth generation performer, JONATHAN LESTER brings a real freshness to the group. Like his father, Brian, Jon was “born to sing,” performing at a very

young age. But he remains inspired by the generations of Lesters who went before him and by the message of God’s eternal grace.

Newest addition to The Lesters is vocalist JUSTIN WELLS. Justin is an extremely talented young man with an extraordinary voice, as well as an accomplished musician. He has been on staff as worship leader at the Church of the Nazarene in Science Hill, Kentucky for the last several years. His heart’s desire as he joins with “the family” is to share the joy of knowing Christ through song and testimony.

The Lesters take pride in their family heritage, but consider God’s greater family as the real reason for their continued work. As they prayerfully pass their legacy to future generations, The Lesters hope to move others to a deeper level of spiritual commitment.

MISSION STATEMENT: The Lesters is a ministry dedicated to leading people to Jesus by sharing the joy of Christ through music and personal testimony.

After their post tournament fishing weigh-in (above), it was a best two fish tourney, on Saturday, July 13, Eastern Missouri Crappie Club members donated $28,000 to three cancer support groups - Monroe County Cancer Supporters, and Monroe County and Lincoln County Relay For Life groups.

Third Annual Old Threshers reunion Tractor Poker Ride - huge success The 3rd Annual MTOT Tractor Poker Ride was a great success. Registration started at 7:30 a.m., at the fairgrounds with the assistance of Presiding Commissioner Mike Minor and Eastern District Commissioner Mike Whelan.

Ray Coffman was the man in charge of the 43-mile event.

Ray had chosen the route to be driven and the things to see along the way. We had 18 tractors -17 male drivers and 1 female driver and two riders.

One of the riders rode on a buddy seat, (which is the way I have traveled on 2 similar rides). One might ask what is so great about a tractor ride or cruise, well from my buddy seat point of view it is carefree riding, getting a different angle of the beautiful countryside and just a slow, relaxing, enjoyable day spent with really great people.

As the riders left the fairgrounds they were led by Monroe County Sheriff David Hoffman and co-pilot Jessie Rae Hoffman (and official map reader). Chief Deputy Joe Colston and Deputy E. J. Odom controlled the traffic in the troubled areas and kept the riders and motorists safe from harm.

Also making the trip was Joey Mitchell, mechanic, (and he did come in useful several times) along with passenger Darren Maupin-EMT, who kept emergency information of each rider and was prepared to do his job in case there was a need.

Speaking of need, also making the trip was Scottie Pottie who was being chauffeured by Ray Coffman.

As line-up started, Jerry Peck, who was in charge of the Poker Run Game, handed out the first card to all drivers and continued to hand out cards at each stop along the way. Before leaving town, the riders rode by the Monroe County Nursing Home and Miller Resident Care Facility enabling residents to see part of the activities from the MTOT. City

dwellers were also out in their yards to wish the riders well.

The riders stopped for a mid morning break at the Tom Garnett building in Holliday where they enjoyed cinnamon rolls and drink furnished by the MTOT and served by Jerry Peck.

They continued on with the ride north and west and made their way into Madison where they stopped at the Madison Christian Church Shelter for their lunch. MTOT furnished the pulled pork and trimmings and Rebecca Coffman donated sheet cakes, which were baked by Becky Pierce (Becky’s). Junior and Twana Hulen made their stop more pleasant for them by setting up chairs, helping Rebecca Coffman and Brenda Coffinan set up for lunch and also assisting with the clean up.

The riders then continued east out of Madison and paid a visit to the Darst Museum owned by Darrell and Kevin Darst, which was a treat for all. From here, the riders continued south and east stopping a MR 870 for their afternoon break and enjoyed cookies and fruit furnished by the MTOT. This was the last stop of the day before heading on in to the fairgrounds, which put their arrival time around 4:30 p.m.

As the riders gathered under the tent, Jerry Peck handed out the last card.

1st place winner was Bill Gruber-Paris, won a set of 3 John Deere Tractors with 3 pieces of equipment-donated

by Donnie Willingham; 2nd place winner was Larry Buswell-Lathrop won a John Deere Tractor and Wagon set donated anonymously; 3rd place winner was Robert Thomas-Orrick, won Oliver Lantern donated by Harpster Equipment; 4th place winner was Ernie Warren-Holt, won a log chain donated by Four R D Farm Repair; 5th place winner was Bill Griffin-Thompson, won a slow

moving vehicle sign donated

by Unger Tractor Sales; 6th place winner was Raymond Buswell, Jr-Purdin, won a case of grease donated by Monroe County Coop; 7th place winner was Gene McCurdy-Perry, won a can of penetration oil donated anonymously; 8th place winner was Rodney Coffman-Holliday, won a spinner knob donated by Unger Tractor Sales; 9th place winner was Bud Leible-Mexico, won a John Deere Truck and Gator donated by Donnie Willingham.

Other riders were: Brenda Coffman (rode with her husband Rodney); Johnny Ragsdale-Holliday; David Larkin-Higbee; Donna Turnbough-Paris; Richard Viehmann-St. Charles; Ray Coffman-Hollida; Leo Parman with buddy seat ride Joann Parman-St, Joseph; Don Jones-Concord Township, Ohio; Carlos Cope-Auxvasse; and Bill Dunn-Auxvasse.

All riders were presented with a goodie bag at the end of the day. The bag and articles in it were donated by: Bag-UMB Bank; Cap-Wheeler Auction and Real Estate Sales; Cooler Cup-Joey Mitchell, Mitchell Repair & Welding; Pen-Paris National Bank; Comb-Monroe County Farmers Mutual Company; Pad of paper and candy-anonymous.

To all riders, we appreciate you coming and trust you had a safe trip home. We look forward to having you join us next year and hope you bring someone with you.

To all who donated prizes and goodies for the Poker Run, we thank you, and appreciate your generosity.

Last but not least, to the ones who did the planning, leg work, and work the day of the ride, we thank you.

If you haven’t been on a tractor ride, why not plan on joining us next year for a great day. You never know what new games may be in store!!!

Continued from page 2 shared stories from other students in my city realized just how blessed I am to come from a caring and supportive community and a loving family. I will forever be grateful for this opportunity and the connections I was able to make I hope will be lifetime friends.

I appreciate so much for this opportunity to attend Boys State and to represent Paris, and our local American Legion Post. I truly appreciate all the opportunities that this community has instilled in me, and will be forever grateful for your support.

Madison Lioness to assist at Lions Tractor Pull The Madison Lioness met on Tuesday, July 2, at the Round Table Restaurant in Centralia at 6:30 p.m. Eleven members and two guests, Samantha Painter and Dakota Meals, were present. Lynda Blades and Sara Wright were hostesses.

President Karen Thomas called the meeting to order and led the pledge to the flag. She introduced Girls State representative, Samantha Painter, who spoke about her experiences there. Approximately 850 girls attended including a delegation of 21 Chinese girls in an exchange program, which enabled the girls to learn about each other’s different cultures.

Samantha took a law class and served as financial director for her “city” and recorder of deeds for her “county.”

Former Governor Bob Holden and present Governor Jay Nixon attended and spoke to the delegation. US Senator Claire McCaskill participated in a video chat.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read by Secretary Kathy McCoy and approved as read.

Treasurer Karen Forsyth gave her monthly report.

Kathy reported a total of $506 was raised from the Pampered Chef party sales and raffle proceeds.

The drawing for winners was held with winners: 1st choice - Tana Johnston (roaster etc); 2nd choice - Sandy Near (micro egg cooker etc); and 3rd choice - Terry Barnes

(pizza stone etc).

A thank you note was received from the Monroe County Cancer Supporters for the donation made in memory of member Becky Pierce’s dad. Becky reported that over $300 each was donated to the Cancer Supporters and Monroe Manor in his memory.

The Lions Club tractor pull will be held on Sat-

urday, July 20, at the new Business Men’s Arena, and they have asked for some volunteers from Lioness. Several members will assist in one or two hour shifts.

The traveling prize was won by Selma Lou Griffith, and the hostess gift by Becky. Hostesses in August will be Karen Thomas and Becky.
