“Pink Out” Game - Huge Success!

2013 “Pink Out” Basketball Game a Huge Success!...

APPEAL PHOTO

The Paris Lady Coyotes, left, and the Madison Lady Panthers, right, prepare to begin the 2013 “Pink Out” basketball game. The event was created and coordinated by Lauren Embree and John DeOrnellis, center with pink basketball. The evening’s event with shirt sales raised and other donations raised over $4,000 that was donated to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters. See additional pictures on the Appeal website (monroecountyappeal.com) and on sports pages 10 and 11.

The 2013 “Pink Out” Basketball game was a rousing success as witnessed by the volume of T-shirt and hoodie sales prior to the event and to the roars of the standing room only crowd.

Paris R-II students Lauren Embree and John DeOrnellis launched the “Pink Out Basketball” campaign last year to raise awareness of cancer and help to raise money to assist county can-

cer patients with medical expenses. They also began the campaign to honor their grandparents whop fought cancer and to honor their 4-H Leader Jacquie Stuart who lost her battle with cancer in Janu-

The North East Community Action Corporation started the winter heating season Oct. 1 with $712,000 for utility assistance.

Recently, less than $50,000 remained.

Last year, NECAC did not run out of funding until March, when the agency had $1.5 million.

The only option is for people to apply for LIHEAP, the LowIncome Home Energy Assistance Program. Unfortunately, those who’ve already received LIHEAP funding since Oct. 1 cannot get it again.

LIHEAP offers a one-time payment of anywhere from $45 to $450 per household, depending

upon the type of heating source.

Unlike in previous years, federal lawmakers have not expressed an interest in providing additional winter heating assistance funding.

NECAC awarded home rehabilitation funding North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick has announced that the agency has been awarded $192,763 in Missouri Housing Development Commission (MHDC) HERO program funding to provide major renovations at 10 homes.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-

for-profit social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency that administers and operates programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, handicapped and disadvantaged through partnerships, contracts and grants with government agencies, private businesses and other non-profit groups. NECAC is one of 19 non-profit Community Action Agencies in Missouri and part of a national network of 980 agencies.

MHDC announced approval of the project at its annual funding meeting Jan. 11 in Columbia.

ary 2012.

It began as a challenge. Before the game students from the two schools competed to see who could sell the most pink T-shirts and hoodies. This year paper basketballs were added to the fundraising campaign. The basketballs cost $1.00 and were mounted on the walls of the gym in Paris and in the cafeteria in Madison to honor survivors or in memory. Last year over 600 shirts and hoodies were sold and over $4,000 raised.

This year’s campaign was a huge success according to Lauren Embree who gave a moving speech

during halftime of the boys game.

“Thank you to all the participants from both Paris and Madison who made this a success,” said Embree to the standing room only crowd.

Co-organizer John DeOrnellis informed the Paris Senior Class and Madison Sixth Grade Class that they led their respective schools in shirt sales. Both school bands performed for the crowd during the spirited games. Monroe County Cancer Supporters President John Turner thanked the assembled for their help and support in trying to stamp out cancer.

APPEAL

Senate Rule Change - No Way

At a time when there is a great deal of dismay in our country about the gridlock and pace of action by the Congress, some progress is, or was, possible at least in the Senate.

A few Democratic Senators are once again trying to limit the use of the filibuster.

The filibuster has a long history in the rules of the Senate from when the former rule that allowed a majority of the Senate to end debate was changed. A single Senator thereafter could take the floor and delay any action on legislation then pending. The filibuster gained in popularity in recent years and may be ended only by Senate Rule 22, the closure vote by a super majority. Both parties have used the filibuster to halt action in the Senate but Republicans have used the filibuster over 400 times in the last five years. The highpoint of this tactic was in December of last year when Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell filibustered one of his own bills.

The reformers want to end the “silent” filibuster by which members can announce a filibuster from the comfort of their offices and force the member to take the floor to filibuster. This would require time and energy and make that member look even more foolish than usual on “C Span” and to his or her constituents.

There was an opening to make this change by simple majority at the beginning of the new 113th Congress on January 3 and its long extended day, but no deal was made on the filibuster. Some veteran Democrats in the Senate well remember when they were in the minority and want to preserve the filibuster for the day when they are again in that position. A deal is still possible but not likely. So it is not only the stubborn House but also the Senate that continues on the course of no action, big pay and plenty of time off the job that so endears them to the ordinary Americans. It is but one of the reasons that the Congress has been rated in recent polls to be less popular than cockroaches or colonoscopies.

Just Ask Dave...

Teamwork!!! The turnout at the Pink Out Basketball game organized by two Paris students - Lauren Embree and John DeOrnellis was absolutely amazing.

Not only did county residents turn out in large numbers to view the game or to take part in the ceremony but they also came to send a message - “We hate cancer.”

Publisher David Eales As the Madison Cheerleaders led the ‘I hate cancer” cheer the words reverberated off the rafters throughout the gymnasium as one after another people took up the chant. Looking throughout the crowd it was amazing to see T-shirts and hoodies all bearing the same message - One County - One Cause (In memory of Jacquie Stuart).

Monroe County Cancer Supporters President John Turner addressed the crowd after Lauren and John. He thanked the assembled for their support but he also extolled the residents in attendance that they were the reason that the group was so successful - they were the reason that the support group was such a viable asset in the county. He noted that they started out small but grew into the large organization that they are today because of the help and support of individuals like John and Lauren.

It is like this with many assets in the county. If a county organization or group needs something there is always someone to step up to the plate and make sure that someone is helped or something needed is accomplished. We are lucky to live in an area where people are valued above all else.

Thank you to everyone who signed up to run for a position in the municipal election. It is this process that makes us who we are and make sour country great.

90 Years Ago Jan. 19, 1923

Fine Flock of Peafowls. Tom Cleaver, east of Victor, is the champion peafowl raiser of Monroe County. He has forty of the gorgeous birds and it is about the only flock to be found in this part of the state. Twenty-five dollars a pair is what he gets for them. Peafowls formerly were raised in every neighborhood.

Before screen wire came into use the tail feathers of these giant birds were made into brushes, the handles of which were covered with braid made from the white quills. All families which were ambitious for social standing had these brushes and used them for keeping flies from the food when company was at the festal board. Peafowls lay only a few eggs a year. When male birds are three years old the gorgeous tail feathers begin to grow, a year being required for them to attain full length. No fowl in the world equals a male peafowl for beauty when he is strutting and converting his long tail feathers into a giant fan of the most brilliant hues.

Railroad Rumor Persist. Rumors persist about the Katy road between Moberly and Hannibal passing into the Wabash system on March 1. A statement to this effect is said to have been made by a Katy official this week.

Folders recently issued by the Wabash system contain a map on which trunk line service between Kansas City, Chicago and the East is shown by way of Moberly, Paris and Hannibal. A footnote states that service on this line has been temporarily suspended, the map is evidence, at least that the Wabash service will be restored.

75 Years Ago Jan. 20, 1938

Charley Wills has a mystery. It revolves about a pair of hip boots.

The boots were setting on a stump in Charley’s front yard on Sunday morning last month. Nobody has ever been around in search of them.

Charley says the owner can have them by telling a true story about why they were left on that stump in his front yard.

Grasshopper Threat Again. Difficulty with grasshoppers next year will be experienced by some 95 to 100 Missouri counties if weather conditions are favorable for hatching and growth, the results of a State-wide grasshopper egg survey announced by the Missouri College of Agriculture indicate.

The largest number of eggs was found in the northwest part of the State, the survey showed, and as many as 20 or more egg pods per square foot were found in that section. This means that some 2000 grasshoppers might hatch from eggs in a square foot of soil, the survey pointed out.

Poisoned bait is the most important controlled measure and cost of treatment by this method is small.

About 10,000 tons of poison bait material were used by 35,000 farmers in Missouri in 1937.

180 Dailies Have Hiked Prices. In every section of the country advancing production cost have pushed up the prices which millions of readers pay for their daily newspapers.

An expression fairly typical came from the Washington Star, which raised its prices from 2 cents to 3 cents per copy.

The Hannibal Courier-Post said it was a case of “increasing cost of everything” that goes into the publication of a paper.

50 Years Ago Jan. 17, 1963 Clothing Training to be Offered.

The use of versatile methods of starching is a timely subject for all farm women today.

Mass Meeting on Factory Monday at 7:30 – May Open by March 15. At a meeting of twenty or more farm owners and business people Wednesday evening a mass meeting of everyone in the area who is interested in the new factory for Paris was set for Monday evening, at 7:30, Paris school auditorium.

The company will move in machines and that 47 local people will be used, training a few at a time.

Three families will also move in.

They will want homes or apartment.

On a piecework basis, employees will be expected to make the minimum of $1.00 per hour at first, up to $1.35 later. Most employees will be women to be chosen from the list recently complied during the labor survey test period.

Dooley to be Mentioned on “Today Show.” Monroe Countiean E. H. Dolley, one of the area’s oldest citizens and most prominent horseman, will celebrate his 101st birthday next Wednesday, Jan. 27 and, if things go as planned, millions of people across the United States will hear about it.

Dooley is expected to receive a nationwide “Happy Birthday” next Wednesday, when Willard Scott, weatherman for the “Today Show”, recognizes him on the occasion of his 101st birthday.

C-3 Board Proposes Bond Issue for New Gym. The board voted unanimously to put a bond issue proposition on the ballot in the April issue will be for building a gym and making some improvements to existing facilities.

Corps Recognizes Volunteer Effort.

The Corps of Engineers staff at Mark Twain Lake has recently commended volunteer Roland Oelschlaeger for his untiring efforts in beautifying the north overlook of Clarence Cannon Dam. Oelschlaeger, a retired nurseryman from Monroe City, has for the past three years planted and cared for the flowers that have cascaded from the six planter boxes located there. Oelschlaeger was recently awarded a “Take Pride in America” certificate by the state of Missouri.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

The Power of a Father A father’s words spoken to his children are very powerful. His encouraging words can lift up our souls and make us feel like we can accomplish anything. The compliments he gives can build up our self esteem and make us feel like we are worthy.

When a father tells his daughter, “ You are beautiful” it makes it easier for her to love herself.

When a father tell his son, “I am proud of you” it makes it easier for him to believe in himself.

But a fathers words are also very powerful. His hurtful words can put a tear in our souls and make us feel like we are failures. His negative words can cause us to believe we will never be good enough. His words never spoken can keep us guessing if we are loved or not loved.

When a father never tell his daughter, “You are beautiful” she either believes she is not or she goes out into the world trying to find someone who will tell her she is. When a father never tells his son, “I am proud of you” it can create a void that the son tries to fill with the wrong things.

There is power in a father’s touch given to his children. A warm embrace can soothe our woes and make us feel protected. A hand held or a kiss given can let us know we are loved and everything is going to be okay which is a feeling we can cherish forever.

There is beauty in a child crawling up into their father’s lap and snuggling beside him. There is joy felt when a father gives his child a big hug or a high five to let them know I’m here for you.

But there is also power in a father’s touch not given to his children. When a child never feels the love of their father through a physical touch like a hug or a hand held it can make it hard for them to show love to others.

There is power in a father’s presence among his children.

His presence alone can make

us feel safe. Knowing he will never leave us gives us a sense of security and takes away our worry. When a father makes time to hang out with his children, they can feel they are special and worthy of his time.

When a father is involved in his children’s lives they can live a life of accountability and can carry a desire to achieve great things.

But there is also power in the lack of a father’s presence among his children. His absence can make a child feel like they are not good enough or that they are unlovable. It can cause them to think it is their fault their father is not around. It can cause self hatred or mistrust to others. Some of us have been blessed with wonderful relationships with our fathers, some of us not so wonderful and others no relationship at all. But the good news is we all have an opportunity to have an awesome relationship with our heavenly father. We do not have to earn His love or be worried He will leave us. We can wake up every morning feeling safe and secure because He is there. He will never put us down or speak hurtful words to us. He will guide us and direct us through every area of our life. His presence and love will be with us always because His word tells us there is absolutely nothing that can separate us from His love.

So if we have or have had a bad relationship with our father, now might be a good time for us to forgive so we can move on with our lives and stop living out of the hurt. Yes, the hurt is real but we have to believe we can move past it with the help of God. We need to realize there is no perfect earthly father. All fathers are human which means they are prone to mistakes. But it can be through the imperfections of our earthly fathers that we can grow close to our heavenly Father. There is only one PERFECT father-God-and HE is longing to pour out His love on His children.

Points to Keep in Mind When Choosing A Tax Preparer

Giving peace of mind at tax time is important but customer service during & after the return is complete is of greater concern to me.

Preparing tax returns can be complicated & confusing. If you are

by Deby able to prepare your own, great!

If youFitzpatrick hate to do so , you will be happy to know B&N that as of Jan. and 1, 2011 tax preparers must be Accounting BusinessallServices registered with the IRS & have passed a formal exam. If you don’t prepare your own tax return, choose wisely. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what’s on their tax return even if someone else prepares it. So, it is important to choose carefully when hiring a firm to prepare your return. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

Ask if the preparer is affiliated with a professional organization. New regulations require all paid tax return preparers including attorneys, CPAs & enrolled agents to apply for a Preparer Tax Identification Number before preparing any federal tax returns.

B&N is a member of Nat. Assoc. of Tax Preparers.

Research the firm’s reputation. Check to see if the preparer is registered with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility, state boards of accountancy, the state bar associations and other related organizations. B&N’s staff members have passed the Register Tax Return Preparer exams, follow a strict code of ethics, and maintain their education requirements with the IRS. We also have an Enrolled Agent on Staff (equivalent to a CPA).

Find out about their service fees. It is illegal for preparers to base their fee on a percentage of your refund. B&N is priced in accordance with the difficulty of the preparation and charges based on the complexity of the form.

Make sure the tax preparer is accessible. Make sure you will be able to contact the tax preparer year round. B&N is available by phone if we are not in the office since we are onsite with clients May – December.

Provide all records & receipts needed to prepare your return.

Preparers should request to see your records & receipts & should ask you multiple questions to determine your total income, expenses and other deductions. You may be losing deductions, thus paying more in tax if your preparer only plugging in numbers without asking questions.

Review the entire return before signing it. Avoid tax preparers that ask you to sign a blank tax form. Before you sign your tax return, review it & ask questions. You are responsible for the accuracy of every item on your return. The preparer must also give you a copy of the return. B&N signs our work before presenting it to you.

Neighborhoods recovering from storm damage often attract the attention of repair companies. Ask questions, do research, and obtain information, before signing a contract for repairs.

Here are some tips to help you find a reputable contractor: Before installing a new roof, or having repairs made, consider the following when choosing your contractor: Look for an established, licensed or bonded roofer and request references. Not all jurisdictions require licensing of roofing contractors.

Ask to see certificates of insurance to be sure both liability and workers compensation insurance coverage is carried, and are in force during the time the roofing work is being done.

Insist on a detailed, written estimate clearly stating the quantity of materials needed (labor charges; work specifications) which include approximate starting and completion dates; payment procedures and that any necessary building permits are secured.

Carefully review and understand any warranty and watch for conditions that would void it.

Use caution (ask questions) before accepting a bid substantially lower than other bids covering the same repair work.

Contact your local Better Business Bureau to check for complaints filed against the contractor.

You may also contact your National Roofing Contractors Association for assistance in locating a professional contractor in a specific geographic area at 1-800-USAROOF or 1-800-872-7663 or go to http://www.nrca. net/.

Holliday Christian Church Pastor David Holmes

Services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, Jan. 13, were opened with the prelude by Jane Akers, organist.

Reverend Holmes welcomed everyone on a cold January morning.

Happy birthday was sung to: Ann Ragsdale, Morgan Holohan, Sandy Callison, Angelia Baker and Ashley Teter. Singing of the opening hymn, “Come, Thou Almighty King” was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Sandy Carter, Jimmy McGee, Hugh Engle, Mike Mallory, Beverly Wandrey, Nina Carter and Russ Unger and to those from the congregation who are traveling. Sympathy was extended to the family of Rusty Kitts.

The prayer hymn, “Sweet Hour of Prayer” was followed by moments of meditation as the final verse was played.

Pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed.

“Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face” was sung as elders, Gary Wilson and Pete Olney and deacons, Nellis Kotsenburg and Darold Thrasher, went forward. Following sharing of communion and offering collection, the doxology was sung.

“Jesus – Fully God . . . Fully Human” was the message from Reverend Holmes. Scripture from Luke 3:15-17 and 21-22 was referenced to illustrate the message. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “We’ve a Story to Tell to the Nations” was sung; morning worship was closed by singing of the “Spirit Song”.

Gerald Roberts called the monthly congregational meeting to order. Minutes from the December meeting were approved as read by Mary McMorris, Secretary. Jane Akers presented the financial reports for December; these were also approved. Minor furnace modifications were discussed; Scott Holohan will investigate. Mendy Blades mentioned coordinating with the local 4-H members to perform community service when the church needs a project completed. After discussion, the congregation voted to participate in the Madison Christian church directory being designed for the 175th anniversary. Pictures are scheduled to be taken February 19-20.

Following a time of fellowship and enjoying refreshments, Carole Roberts read “God Hears Your Prayers” from the book, “What God Wants Us to Know”. Diane Wilson shared a reading entitled “Judge Gently”. Darold Thrasher led the group in prayer. Jim McMorris then led Bible Study group in dissecting Mark 11:27-33 and 12:127. Services at Holliday Christian Church are held each Sunday beginning with worship at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bible Study. Everyone is welcome.

Paris Presbyterian Church

Pastor John Grimmett

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, Jan. 13. The usher for this week’s service was John Gilmore. Patti Grimett led the congregation into worship service with “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Pastor John Grimmett led the call to worship from Psalm 130. The beginning hymn was, “Come, Thou Almighty King.”

Pastor John Grimmett the congregation in a Prayer of Confession.

Pastor John Grimmett gave the announcements and asked for prayer concern and celebrations followed by a pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. The special music piece was, “Come Holy Spirit.” Pastor John Grimmett read the scripture reading from Acts 8:4-25 followed by the message Wonder Working Power.” The closing hymn was, “Come Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove.” The benediction response was, “Come, O Spirit.” Patti Grimmett led the congregation out of worship service with, “To God Be the Glory.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sunday, Jan. 20. Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.

Announcements (all times p.m. unless indicated): Wednesdays, Children’s group is at 3:30, Youth group is at 5, and Adult Choir is at 7. Sundays, Addicts Victorious meets at the church at 2:30.

South Fork Presbyterian

The Sunday, Jan. 13 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “Gracious Spirit, Dwell With Me” on the organ followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading the Call to Worship from Psalms 130.

Debbie Carey led in song to “Come, Thou Mighty King’; “Spirit of God”; “Revive Us Again” and “God Be With You”.

Prayer was held for Margaret Birlew’s mom, Marie; Connie Staiger; Mike Mallory; Robert DeOrnellas; the Cearley’s; Nadine Young; Bob Baldridge; Pastor Joe in Hallsville;; James; those traveling; and the world. Abby Grimmett thankful for job searches and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

The morning special “Come, Holy Spirit” was sang by Debbie and Patti, as she played guitar.

The message “Wonderful Working Power” was based on scripture from Acts 8:4-25 as the church was born in Jerusalem and the Holy Spirit helped God’s people - for all believers. Believers were scattered abroad and began preaching the word - there was hatred and bitterness with the churches throughout the world. The Holy Spirit must be received and be born again! Washed in the power of God...The spirit of God works in peoples lives everyday.

When does the spirit come? When you start to do amazing things! The lives of many who have been baptized and are going to heaven, still have not plugged into the power of God... So many do not use the gifts that God has given them --- Is Christ pleased with what the churches are doing today?

The offertory was led by Bobby Gash as Patti played “Holy Spirit, Truth Divine” and all sang the “Doxology” All retired in fellowship as Patti played “Lord Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing”, services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m., and all are encouraged and welcome to come hear the word of the Lord.

Whoever believes in Me will have streams of living water flowing from within John 7:38

John Mitchell gave the children’s sermon. He showed a crowbar and a bendable wire. He explained that the crowbar was strong and unbending and thus, is unchangeable like God who is the same always. The wire represented man who is bendable. Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit.

We follow Christ by bending our will to God. Special music was provided by Steve Ensor and Mac Wilt singing, “Whatever it Takes”.

Pastor Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Hebrews 11:1-3, entitled “Faith Is . . . .” Does God hold us in the same regard as he did Abraham? What does it mean to live in faith? Verse 2 says “Our faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. For by it our ancestors were approved.” Can we have faith as Abraham, Isaac, Moses and David had? God used faith to shape humanity. As in verse 1, What are you hoping for? We hope for salvation but faith can be misguided if we do not have faith in the right things. We should look beyond our present life.

Paris First Christian Church Pastor Donna Scott Paris First Christian Church emptied the Prayer Net during Worship, Sunday, Jan. 13. With the help of the children, Rev. Donna Scott had each child take a handful of 2012 prayer requests from the net and place them in a bowl, then Rev. Scott lifted up the requests in prayer.

A lamb cutout was placed before the podium signifying not only the children but also signifying God’s son, “The Lamb of God,” the title of the sermon that was based on John 1:29-42.

Participants of Sunday’s Worship included: Worship Leader Clint Chandler; Acolytes Katelyn McGinness and Adam Forrest; Elders Jim Scott and Louise O’Fallon; Diaconate Paula Bross, Mindy Flick, Vanessa Forrest, Debbie Boulware and Assistant Nancy Bierly; Organist Mary Jo Wilson; Song Leader Mary Beth Mitchell; Junior Church Leaders Anita Ness, Rumiko Castleman and Assistant Maddie Flick.

In addition to the new prayers shared and dropped in the Prayer Net, Vanessa Forrest’s brother, Nathan Peters, who has been deployed to Turkey as part of the NATO Patriot Missiles Unit, was added to the prayer list.

Monroe County Circuit Court News

State Treasurer Clint Zweifel announced recently citizens have a new option to choose from when getting a tax refund from the State of Missouri. Taxpayers are now able to get a refund in the form of a debit card whether their return is filed on paper or electronically. The new refund option is for taxpayers who file individual income tax returns or Property Tax Credit (PTC) claims.

This is the first year the Department of Revenue has offered the refund debit card. To receive the card, taxpayers will need to check the “debit card” box located on the refund line of their 2012 income tax return or PTC claim. After the card is received in the mail, the recipient must activate it by phone or online, and a Personal Information Number or PIN must be created.

Benefits of the debit card include no check cashing fees, no bank account is

required and access to the funds is available 24 hours a day. Taxpayers can use the refund card for free for purchases and to get cash back with a purchase anywhere a Visa Card is accepted.

UMB, MoneyPass and Chase ATMs may all be used to access cash without fees. One free withdrawal is allowed at other ATMs, but an ATM surcharge may apply. The card is issued by JP Morgan Chase of New York.

Other refund options for taxpayers include a paper check mailed to a taxpayer and electronic direct deposit into a bank account of a taxpayer receiving a refund.

More information about the refund debit card can be found at www.dor.mo.gov.

Thank you for your support!

LaBinnah Bistro, award winning restaurant, offers great food, service, and charm in downtown historic Hannibal

At the corner of Center and 5th Streets, in historic Hannibal, you can step through the doors of an 1870 Victorian home, into LaBinnah Bistro and find yourself in a European atmosphere complete with charm, service, food and elegance without ever leaving Hannibal.

According to owner Chris Bobek and associate Arif Dagin, LaBinnah Bistro caters to those who desire the absolute best in dining.

Diners can enjoy the most delicious entrees, unique

bistro uses no food service company. The ingredients are purchased fresh either from Farmer’s Markets (in season) or Arif and himself travel to St. Louis and other venues to purchase quality food sources. They noted that they use what ever is in season for their recipes.

“We started LaBinnah small with just a small menu and just recreated a European style where our customers are almost family,” said Bobek and Dagin.

In 2003, Chris, a Vietnam era Air Force veteran, opened the Garden House, a bed and breakfast on 5th Street – commonly referred to as Millionaires Row. Interestingly, the owner took the bistro’s name from a former social club – the LaBinnah Social Club, active on the 1800s, formed by members of Millionaires Row who started the club to interact, play cards and host shows.

“It lives up to its name,” said Arif. “Customers socialize with each other over dinner, share numbers and emails and create friendships.”

It was noted that people spend a couple hours eating as all entrees are made

appetizers and decadent desserts in their uninterrupted, unhurried environment.

The bistro’s walls are decorated with local art couple this with the round, white clothed tables each with its own flowers and the atmosphere exudes comfort, charm and warmth.

The bistro features fine food with entrees from Europe, the Mediterranean area including Turkish Dishes, and American sections including quality steaks.

Quality comes before anything. Style, presentation and quality are everything.”

“We took our cue from European bistros where you take your time to dine and enjoy your surroundings and the people,” said Arif.

Arif graduated from Cul-

to order.

The bistro holds special events with a Wine Up Wednesday, where a bottle of wine runs $10. That evening their most popular table is their eight top (eight chairs) where people just come in and share and talk.

Select entrees are just $9.95 on Bistro Thursdays.

Notable dining evenings have featured “An Evening in Paris”, where a French chef visited from St. Louis to make French delicacies; and “The Last Meal on the Titanic” where after preparing for three days the bistro served a five course

Missouri Rural Development State Director Janie Dunning stated, “The amounts listed mean a return of taxpayer dollars to the states. In Missouri, $992,406,000 was returned in the form of grants, loans and loan guarantees. This is money directly assisting businesses to create or retain jobs and communities to maintain quality of life for residents and visitors” For example, in 2012, nearly 64,000 rural residents received new or better access to broadband Internet service. Under the Rural Utilities Program, Rural Development provided approximately $4.7 billion in electric loans, $173 million in telecommunications loans and grants, and $1.4 billion in water and waste disposal loan and grants.

Through its Community Facilities loan and grant program, Rural Development provided more than $8.6 million to construct or improve 48 rural libraries,

and provided more than $888 million in assistance for 243 projects to improve the delivery of health care for rural Americans. All told, Rural Development provided more than $1.5 billion in community facilities loans and grants to develop or improve essential facilities like these in rural areas.

In addition to the efforts to support education and health care, another key aspect of the Community Facilities program is the ability to support emergency responders. For example, Missouri Rural Development provided $417,680 to 25 entities; ambulance districts, cities, counties and villages; to improve first responders’ and emergency early warning systems’

USDA Highlights 2012 Investments to Build Stronger Rural Communities

Rural Development helps to invest more than $30 billion to strengthen rural America Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently issued a report highlighting USDA Rural Development’s fiscal year (FY) 2012 investments in job creation, businesses, infrastructure and housing for Americans living in rural communities across the nation.

“President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment in rural communities that have made them stronger,” Vilsack said.

“Thanks to our loan, grant and technical assistance programs, USDA Rural Development is helping residents and rural enterprises thrive, and we are laying a strong foundation for rural America’s future.”

With an active portfolio of more than $176 billion in loans and loan guarantees, Rural Development has provided affordable housing, improved utility infrastructure, and helped businesses and coopera-

capability. Many of these communities had no equipment or were without adequate equipment to protect lives and properties during hazardous situations.

Rural Development is also the lead agency ensuring that rural families have access to safe, well-built, affordable homes. In 2012, Rural Development helped 7,940 families with lowincomes obtain safe, affordable homes, providing approximately $900.9 million in single-family direct subsidized loans. Under the single-family guaranteed loan program, Rural Development helped more than 145,100 moderateincome families purchase single-family homes. More than 7,000 rural individuContinued to page 9

Lady Coyotes best Westran and Slater

The Paris Lady Coyotes (9-5) recently defeated Westran decisively 67-29 and then doubled up Slater 53-25 in recent basketball action.

Westran Payton Gruber shredded the nets for 25 points, including 5 of 7 from three point range, in leading her Lady Coyotes in scoring.

Haley Fredrick chipped in with double digit scoring with 11 points and had 8 steals, 8 deflections, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Lady Coyotes took a 15-6 lead after three first quarter and dominated the second period 22-8 to lead 37-12 at the half. A 12-11 third and 17-4 fourth period sealed the 67-29 win.

“We put together a full 4 quarter effort last night and played very good team basketball on both ends of the court in defeating Westran at home,” said Coach Chris Willingham. “We put a lot of emphasis on our defense and controlling tempo and last night we did both well for 4 quarters.

Defensively we used several different types of pressure defense to keep Westran off balance and forced a lot of turnovers.

We did a very good job of taking those turnovers and turning them into points.

Our defense was our offense for most of the night.

We did a very good job of pushing the ball on offense and sharing the ball to get good looks at the basket.

It was a team effort, but Haley Fredrick deserves mentioning, putting together a very solid effort last night.

She finished with 11 points and 8 steals, and had numerous other deflections on defense. Her defense was huge for us and got us a lot of good looks on offense. Payton Gruber had a great game on both ends as well. 10 of 15 shooting from the floor, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Big effort. We had very good effort from our bench as well with contributions from all 12 players.”

Scoring: Haley Fredrick 11, Josey Ball 6, Lauren Embree 4, Payton Gruber 25, Jill; Nobis 5, Shelby Dickey 5, Nicole Burke 2, Kaylee Callison 4, Dede Bounds 5.

In junior varsity action – the Paris JV improved to 3-2 with a two quarter 19-7 win over Westran. “It was a very solid effort,” said Coach Chris Willingham.

Slater Paris roared out of the starting blocks with a 17-4 first quarter score. A 16-6 second quarter saw the Lady Coyotes lead 3210 at the half and the rout was on. Paris took the third quarter 13-10 and the final period 7-5 for their 53-25 final.

The Lady Coyotes had three players in double digits with Haley Fredrick hitting for 11, Payton Gruber scored 16 and Shelby Dickey added 10 points. Gruber and Dickey both hit two three pointers.

Dede Bounds and Kaylee Callison led the team in rebounding, cleaning the glass for seven boards apiece. Fredrick led the team in blocks, and also led in steals and deflections for the second game in a row.

Gruber led the team in assists.

“We had another dominating defensive effort Friday night holding Slater to under 30 points and forced over 30 turnovers for the second game in a row,” said Coach Chris Willingham. “Our full and half court defensive intensity has really picked up the last couple games and it has led to some big offensive nights for us as well.

We had several fast break run outs that we converted to points. We controlled tempo really well and had the game in control from the opening tip until the final horn. Great team effort once again. We were very excited about having 3 girls in double figures. It’s important for us offensively to get several girls involved.

Haley and Shelby stepped up big and were very good offensively and defensively. The two combined for 8 steals and 13 deflections out of our half court defense. Very good effort by those two. Real proud of our team.”

Scoring: Haley Fredrick 11, Josey Ball 2, Payton Gruber 16, Jill Nobis 3, Shelby Dickey 10, Kaylee Callison 2, Dede Bounds 6.

Three pointers: Gruber 2, Dickey 2.

Wedding mistakes - ways to avoid common pitfalls 10 Wedding Mistakes To Avoid The following tips are ways to avoid some common wedding pitfalls.

10. Don’t Rock the Cash Bar - When it comes to alcohol at your reception, what you serve is entirely up to you. Whether you choose to serve a full bar, limited cocktails, Beer and Wine, or no alcohol at all will be based on various factors including budget.

The one option that is not recommended is a Cash Bar. Your guests should be gracious enough to accept what is being offered to them. If however a guest feels the need for a drink selection that is not offered, chances are that he or she will be resourceful enough to find it.

9. Go flat! A huge number of brides give feedback that they wish they had worn flats, having kicked off their heels during the reception.

As a bride you can expect to be standing for 8-12 hours on your wedding day. Be sure to break in your shoes well in advance. Even when wearing flats, unexpected blisters can form after a few hours on your feet.

8. Have a little faith.

D.J.’s are perhaps the wedding vendor most micromanaged by couples. Too many song requests may actually impede the flow of your party. You hire your D.J. to judge when to play what music. You wouldn’t instruct your Caterer step by step on how to prepare food, or your Photographer on what angles and lenses to use. Limit your D.J. request list to a few favorites and a do-not-play list of only the songs you cannot stand. Do not get carried away and have some trust.

7. Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize. What really matters most to you, the photographer, the music and dancing, the food and wine, the decorations, or being able to accommodate a large guest list? Put your money towards what you care about. You will have regrets if you skimp on what really counts. 6. Bibbity Bobbity Boo. Wedding Dress shops are notorious for having your dress shipped in at the last minute. Think about it, if you owned a Wedding Dress Boutique you wouldn’t want every brides dress held at your shop for nine+ months before their weddings. Schedule your first fitting well before your wedding. Your final dress fitting should be no less than 1 week prior to your wedding so that alterations can still be made.

Tuxedo rentals for all attendants must be tried on, that includes Dad. Whether

the Tailor seemed to take precise measurements or not, too many men still show up at weddings with high waters or baggy tuxes.

5. Don’t hit the road, Jack.

Your wedding day is one of the biggest, most important days of your life. You will be exhausted and a bit disorderly the following day.

Going away is the last thing you will want to worry about. Wait at least a couple of days before venturing on your honeymoon. Your wits will thank you.

4. Last night of single life.

DO NOT hold your Bachelor or Bachelorette party the night before your wedding!

This may seem like a nobrainer but many brides and grooms still practice the archaic ritual of drinking all night on that fatal evening. It is simply not worth it, as the Bride/Groom and your attendants will no doubt feel tired, look tired, have a hangover, or worse be sick walking down the aisle. If necessary, request that any out of town attendants arrive a day earlier to help you to prepare and celebrate a different night.

3. No Guidance. With no Director there are too many details left to too many people at your ceremony.

Having a Wedding Coordinator allows for one person

to coordinate your wedding party processional, music, minister, seating guests and to resolve any unexpected last minute complications.

A Coordinator will ease the stress level of everyone, including you, tremendously on your wedding day. So if your location does not include a Wedding Day Coordinator who also directs your rehearsal, hire your own. A Wedding Coordinator may be much more affordable than you think.

2. Stretching yourself too thin. As the bride you will make everyone around you crazy by waiting until the last minute in planning and finalizing details.

If you have a hard time planning and prioritizing on your own then get help.

You don’t want to be remembered as “one of those brides” that put everything off and then expected her friends and family to pick up the pieces, do you?

1. High demands. Try to keep in mind that although your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen may offer you extra help, these friends can become taken advantage of. The only “official obligations” of wedding party members are emotional support, the financial expense of wedding attire and travel, participation in the

If you’ve been to one wedding, you’ve seen it all. From the flowers and the candles to the dress and the music, the typical wedding can be as predictable and generic as your Uncle Leo’s dance moves. For your wedding to stand out, you need to involve your guests in the sentiment and process of the day. It’s not the cake or the great food that will be remembered, but all the little details that will make your wedding as unique and memorable for your guests as it will be for you. These 15 ideas on how to personalize your day will make it the event that will be talked about for years to come: 1. Write a welcome note for your out-of-town guests on postcards from the city your wedding takes place.

It’s a nice personal touch that shows tremendous thought as well as a keepsake that can be saved with photos of the wedding.

2. Include an “About the Wedding Party” section in your programs or on the reception tables for your guests to learn more about the members of your bridal party. Not everyone will know that you and your Maid of Honor have

been best friends since preschool.

3. Hang your dress on a pretty silk coat hanger the day of your wedding. People will be taking photographs of the dress before you put it on and you’d like to avoid having it on an old wire coat hanger.

4. Send your invitations to Loveville, Maryland first -- they’ve developed special wedding postmarks that add a nice “love” touch to your envelope. Call 301475-5243 for details.

5. Invite the President, Pope, and the Queen of England for a special wedding surprise. Be sure to send their invites out early.

6. If you’re planning on taking pictures prior to the ceremony, clear everyone out of the ceremony site and have your groom at the end of the aisle. Walk down the aisle, so it’s only the two of you. It’s a very sweet and special moment that you can share... and the pictures of the tears in his eyes will be priceless.

7. Place tissues or personalized embroidered handkerchiefs in the rows where family will be seated for their “tears of joy”.

8. Write a letter to your

rehearsal and the obvious role on your wedding day.

In the case of the MOH or BM, reception toasts are traditional as well. Other help that these individuals may offer should not be viewed as duties, but rather as acts of kindness including: setting up/tearing down, transporting ceremony goods, throwing a bridal shower or other party, distributing gratuities, and any other help that is offered.

Remember to be thoughtful towards your attendants.

Bridesmaids may not be comfortable in 4 inch heels, purchasing new jewelry or paying to have their hair or makeup professionally styled. Do not forget to personally thank any bridal party members for taking part in your wedding, as well as family members who gave you assistance. A small thank you gift is always appreciated.

Cake - Do’s and Donts You spent several hundred dollars for a beautiful and elaborate wedding cake, a replica of one that you saw in a magazine.

Everyone remarks on how pretty it is, and you are delighted. Then, a half hour into the reception, just as you are beginning to relax and enjoy yourself, your coordinator tells you that the cake is starting to collapse and you need to cut it now while there is still time to salvage it and to get those special pictures.

You rush to the cake table, place a forced smile on your face and quickly cut the cake.

Unfortunately, this scenario occurs all too often,

RODGERS RENTAL

especially at summer weddings, but it can be prevented. You can alleviate some of the problems by considering the following things when you choose your cake: • Cakes don’t tolerate heat, particularly those made with buttercreme icing, nor do they tolerate wind. Keep the cake indoors, if possible, or in the shade. If the cake must be placed outdoors, first place it in a refrigerator, if possible.

Place the cake in a location that is level; otherwise, the layers may tip or slide.

Shim the table legs if necessary to make them level.

Wedding Photos Do’s and Don’ts After months of planning the finer details of your special day – the dress, the location, the guest list and more – your head will likely be spinning. But with so much to think about, it is important not to overlook your only opportunity to permanently capture your special day - your wedding photography.

According to the Bridal Association of America, each year couples spend nearly $5.2 billion on wedding photography, but your investment could fall short if you don’t plan ahead. Without realizing, there are 10 easy ways that you can take your photography from perfect to forgettable.

Top 10 Mishaps of Wedding Photography: 1. Not carefully choosing your photographer Before choosing your photographer, take time to review their portfolio.

If you don’t have someone with experience and skill, your photos will pay the price. Studios should provide album examples to review before you make your choice. If the studio does not allow you to choose your photographer, quickly move on!

2. Not chatting with your photographer a week in advance It is important to dis-

cuss everything in detail with your photographer prior to the wedding day - don’t be afraid to be up-front about your expectations. Do your check in one week prior to the wedding so all instructions are fresh in the photographer’s memory.

If you have specific requests, ideas to explore, or important don’ts to cover, express them. This is especially important because churches, synagogues, mosques and chapels may have specific areas that cannot be photographed. You don’t want any unwelcome surprises!

3. Not creating a photo “wish list” Have you always dreamed of a romantic photo on top of a hill, in the middle of a field, or on a median along a busy street? Show pictures in magazines, old family photos, or any other visual to convey this to your photographer. From there, your wedding photographer should make your “wish list” happen.

4. Taking only stiff, posed pictures Every album must have formal photos of the wedding party, but don’t let it stop there. It is important to have shots in a more relaxed setting – whether on the dance floor doing the electric slide or stroll-

ing around the reception.

5. Shooting at high noon The sun is shining, the sky is bright, but what you may think is a perfect time to shoot is far from it. High noon sunlight creates harsh shadows on the face and doesn’t cast you in the best light – wait until the afternoon.

6. Sweaty, shiny photos Of course it will happen - standing close together in full formal gear can turn up the body temperature. But don’t let shiny faces and (eek!) sweaty armpits take away from the special occasion. Be prepared with powder, anti-perspirant deodorant and paper towels!

7.

Not scheduling enough time for the photo sessions and driving time It takes time to shoot pictures of the entire family, arrive at several different shoot locations and get all of those perfect shots with you and your hubby. Make your life easier – allot extra

time for photography!

As a plan of attack, get the large group shots finished first, starting with children and the elderly.

Next, take pictures with the families and bridal party. Lastly, spend some alone time with your man and the camera, while the impatient herd heads towards the cocktail hour.

After all, it is your day!

8. Badly positioned hands and feet After several shots, you and your wedding party may become antsy – tapping fingers, leaning on one foot and fidgeting.

It is important that your photographer works with you to keep everyone photogenic, focused and above everything else – comfortable.

9. Missing the small moments

There are signature special moments in a wedding – the bride and groom’s first kiss, the first dance between a father and new bride, the garter ceremony and cutting of the cake. But small moments - such as the flower girl smiling from the pew, a proud moment between the mother and father,

grandma on the dance floor – cannot be missed!

10. Stopping photographs before the reception is over Many couples want to turn the cameras off at 9 p.m., but some of the most memorable and interesting photos happen when the party really gets going. Keep shooting!

mom and dad and have it waiting for them at their seat during the ceremony.

It could be about anything: a thank you, how you hope your marriage turns out like theirs, your gratitude everything they have done for you, etc. They will be so touched and honored that you took the time to arrange for this and you’ll have them in tears before you begin to walk down the aisle!

9. Have each bridesmaid carry a bouquet made entirely of their favorite flower. Your bouquet will be a combination of all of their flowers.

10. Dress your flowergirl

in a bright color rather than a replica of your dress so that the dress can be worn again.

11. Read your vows to candlelight. All your guests will receive a candle on their way into the ceremony. When it comes time for the vows, have your ushers or groomsmen go around and light the candle at the end of the row and let them “pass the flame.” It’s a nice romantic touch to a very sentimental and powerful moment.

12. For family members who have passed away or cannot physically be there with you, wear something of theirs so that they are

with you. It could be a lapel pin tied to the ribbon of your bouquet, your great aunt’s pearls, or your grandmother’s handkerchief.

13. Pick a special ceremony start time, like 5:17 -- the exact time he proposed to you.

14. Serve your cocktails from a “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” menu. Take recommendations from special people involved in the wedding for their favorite old/classic drink, a new/modern drink, a favorite borrowed unique drink recipe, and a blue cocktail. It’s a fes-

tive way to get the party started!

15. Set small photo albums, notecards and a disposable camera at each table. Create a sign asking each guest to write some words of wisdom on the notecards and put the card into the photo album.

Make sure they take a photo of everyone at the table. After the wedding you can combine the notecard on the same page as the photograph and you’ll have a special keepsake of every guest at your wedding.

Remember that this wedding is about celebrating your love.

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner - Why To Have One and How To Throw One

Rehearsal dinners usually take place after the wedding rehearsal, normally held the day before the actual wedding ceremony.

Although the rehearsal dinner is not a “required” wedding event, they’re a great way to get everyone who is involved with the wedding a chance to meet one another and to relax before the wedding takes place.

Traditionally, the rehearsal dinner is hosted by the grooms parents, although anyone can play host such as the bride’s parents, or a close family member or friend. Regardless of who hosts, you want to make sure that they are involved with the planning process,

such as where the event will be held or what will be served for dinner.

The guest list normally includes the bride and groom, their parents and the entire wedding party.

Other guests often included are the grandparents, the dates of the wedding party, the Clergy person who will be performing the ceremony and their guest, other members of the family not in the wedding party and out-of-town guests. You may need to check the size of your rehearsal dinner budget to see if these other guests can be accommodated to stay within your budget.

Many brides question if it is necessary to send out invitations to the rehearsal dinner or not. Normally a phone call is sufficient, but some brides opt to make their own invitations and send them out through the mail. If you decide to send out invitations and aren’t sure what to say, try the following wording: Please Join us for a Rehearsal Dinner in Honor of (Bride’s Name) and

Nathan & Kerrie Heinecke

Flowers & Gifts

(Groom’s Name) at (this location) at (this time) RSVP: (Hosts Name) at (phone number) The next step is to figure out is where to have the rehearsal dinner. Some popular rehearsal dinner places include a private room at a restaurant, a private club, a BBQ, a small room at your reception site or a private home. Things to keep in mind; if you are having a rehearsal, choose someplace close by to hold the dinner so people won’t have to drive all over to get there. Also keep in mind that if you inviting any out of town guests, that you provide them with a very good map of how to get the dinner and back to their hotel (or where ever they are staying). A good option is to carpool so they won’t get lost.

Wondering what to have for dinner? That is entirely up to you and the host; you can have a formal dinner or a more relaxed meal. Many brides decide to have a more informal rehearsal dinner, to keep everyone relaxed for the wedding

activities that are coming up. Right before dinner is served, the host will usually say a few words and give a toast to the bride and groom, and often a few other toasts will be given as well.

This is also the perfect time to give the wedding party and the parents their gifts. The bride and groom will usually say a few words before handing them out; they generally will thank everyone for being in the wedding party as well as say a few other heartfelt words.

The Rehearsal Dinner is a great way to have a relaxing time with your bridal party and is usually the kickoff to the wedding festivities soon to come.

Wedding Cake... Continued from page 15 This is particularly important at outdoor locations.

• Cakes that have pillars between the layers are more apt to tip or collapse than those in which the layers are stacked on top of one another or placed on individual pedestals. Neither pillars nor pedestals do well in windy locations, however.

• Have the cake delivered as late as possible so that it doesn’t stand for several hours before being cut.

• If you choose to use

colored icing on your cake, the food coloring can stain your gown and your hands.

Butter and shortening used in the icing will also stain, particularly if you wipe your hands on your gown (a natural tendency when they are sticky). Use forks, not your fingers, to serve each other and don’t under any circumstances shove cake in each other’s face.

With a bit of planning, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Make 2013 a Successful Business Year Small business owners and managers struggle with the day to day items in keeping a business rolling. At times you have to work on the business. The start of the year is a good time to get some simple stuff checked of the list to make your 2013 more successful.

1. Check your webpage and make sure it is current.

It is now January and Santa Claus does not still need to be looking at your customers. A webpage that is not maintained turns off customers and they will not come back.

2. Make sure your domain number is not up for renewal. Do it now and there will be no surprise later. Would it not be a bad day to come in and find out you have no web presence.

3. Have you done any social media in the past year? With the importance of marketing aiming at customers with mobile phones and those who participate in social media, you can get lost in the shuffle if you don’t participate. Social/mobile marketing is only getting more important as consumers use their phones.

4. Audit phone bills and

utility bills to ensure you are getting charged the correct amount and have all the incentives that are available. Remember that it is your dollar, not theirs.

5. Set up your 2013 tax file. Get the folders labeled and drawers ready.

This will give you a place to put your tax information and receipts so they do not get lost and you will have them for taxes later.

Doing simple tasks now keeps your life easier later.

6. Set up your tax calendar. Go to www.irs. gov and use the “Important Tax Dates for Small Business” calendar. Simple way to find out when

things are to be done. The IRS has different versions for printing or integrating with your online calendar.

Do It! No one likes a visit from an IRS agent.

7. Lastly, look at your budget. Are you on track or do you need to revamp?

The budget is your agreement on goals and expenditures with yourself. It is your tool to ensure your success. Do not spend more than you available.

The secret of business success is keeping overhead low and the money in your pocket.

This list is simple things to keep your business relevant and up to date. A

friend once told me that if I keep on the small stuff, the larger items will take care of themselves. Or simply the devil is in the details.

Happy New Year, I wish all the best in 2013 for successful businesses in Northeast Missouri.
