Under the direction of music director Pearse Hutson the Paris R-II Band performed the National Anthem followed immediately by an excellent performance by the Elementary Choir.

Junior High Student Council Officer David Vestal introduced the event’s speaker – Monroe County Appeal Publisher David Eales.

Publisher Eales had all the assembled rise if they had a family member or friend that served in the military.

“As you can see each and every one of us has been touched by our nation’s veterans,” said Eales looking around at the entire audience standing in response to his question.

Eales went on to inform the crowd that for years he thought of himself as a ‘closet veteran’ since he had not served in a war such as the American Legion members and other veterans seated in the first two rows.

“I did not respond when veterans were asked to stand during Veterans Day ceremonies,” said Eales. “Then it hit me that everyone, whether they served in a

war time or they served behind the lines making sure our front line troops were supplied, were healthy or even had their mail on time were veterans.”

“We have the freedoms we have today because of the men and women that are seated here in this auditorium and scattered throughout our 50 states and the world,” said Eales. “Thank you very much for your service to your self, your family, your friends, your community and your country.”

“Today is Nov. 9, 2012, and I am proud to be a veteran of the United States,” said Eales in closing.

High School Student Council President Nicole Burke ended the ceremony.

“Thank you for coming to celebrate with our veterans today,” said Burke in ending the day’s ceremony.

The school and Opaa! provided refreshments for the veterans after the assembly.

On the program the school body wrote - Thanks and Dedications - thanks to all those who bravely defended their country against tyranny and oppression. A special gratitude is extended to those men and women who gave their lives for their country. This honor and valor is what makes the United States of America the greatest nation on Earth!

Wesley Hammond was recently elected President of the Missouri Baptist Convention, on Tuesday, Oct. 30. Hammond has been pastor for the past 17 years as of Christmas Eve. Hammond resides in Paris with his wife Diana and their two children Stephen and Michael.

According to the Baptist Press, for the last two years, the same officers have led the convention: president, John Marshall, pastor, Second Baptist Church, Springfield, who completed five consecutive years as an officer.

Now Hammond, who moves up after two years as first vice president, is the only one of those four remaining. Other new officers, all unopposed, are: first vice president, Neil Franks, pastor of First Baptist Church in Branson; second vice president, Joshua Hedger, pastor of Freshwater Church in Bolivar; and recording secretary, David Krueger, pastor

All were unopposed.

The Missouri Baptist Convention (MBC) is a network of nearly 2,000 Southern Baptist churches whose mission is to serve together to grow Great Commission churches. The state missionaries in the MBC office in Jefferson City support Missouri Baptists through eight ministry teams: church strengthening, strategic partners, missional evangelism / discipleship, communications, The Pathway / public policy, leadership development, church planting, and support services.

Dr. John Yeats serves as executive director. MBC’s vision is to make Great Commission disciples, in cooperating Great Commission churches, transforming communities with the gospel.

90 Years Ago Nov. 10, 1922 Port Meeter says he can put any camel on earth to shame when it comes to the matter of going without water. A week is about the camel’s limit. Mr. Metter has not swallowed a drop of water or any other fluid since last April.

Due to some peculiar throat affliction, he finds it impossible to get a drop from his mouth to his stomach. Most his nourishment during this long period have been raw eggs. Just recently he has been able to swallow small quantities of other sorts of food. His health has begun to improve.

Mrs. Oscar Kindred brought 790 bushels of potatoes to Paris from Newton, Iowa last Thursday. She used a little ad in the Appeal to let it be known that the potatoes were here and for sail at 65 cents. On Tuesday she returned to Iowa. “That little ad got fine results; the potatoes are all sold,” said Mrs. Kindred as she passed the Appeal office on her way to the station.

Mrs. E. S. Vanhorn lost what was perhaps the oldest cat in North Missouri one night last week. It was 27 years old.

Charley Lewellen, near Welch recommends crow meat as a cure for a hog’s appetite for chicken.

He tried it two weeks ago and is now ready with his testimonial.

Rev. Moorman was holding a meeting at Mt. Airy when Charley decided that something must be done for a sow that was trying to eat all the family flock. He told the minister that all he needed was a crow, whereupon Moorman volunteered to go down into the woods and call one up. Being an old experienced hand at this crime against the crow the minister’s efforts were soon rewarded.

As the unsuspecting bird flapped around in search of the source of those caws Charley blazed away and ended his life. The sow at the evident relish but ever since has taken no more interest in a yellow-legged chicken that a defeated candidate does in the dear people the week after a primary.

A foot trouble expert from the Dr, Scholl’s organization will be at the Pelsue Shoe Store in Paris, Wednesday next week, to demonstrate Dr. Scholl’s line of scientifically fitted shoes. There will be 622 fittings to meet the most fastidious tastes and types of feet.

The Appeal is of the opinion that poultry producers need a friend at court. It is a bad thing for any industry when on man in a luxurious office in some town can say every morning what every buyer in a large territory shall pay the woman for their turkeys, chickens, geese and eggs. We do not believe that women get as much as market conditions justify nor do we believe they should get less than is paid far down in the Ozarks.

Taking Back America

S

From very early in the Presidential campaign we heard the slogan and saw signs urging that we take back our country. Prior to that and for a year or two some Tea Party rallies featured the same sentiment, that we should, or maybe they should, take back our country.

In either case I didn’t understand entirely either who had taken our country, from whom it would be taken back nor why those wanting it back had any greater claim to it than those who took it. In our materialistic and possessive society the regaining of ownership of our stolen country would necessarily exclude and dispossess the current takers and holders along with those who might disagree with the new owner’s title or right of possession.

Why could not those not satisfied with the current direction of the country continue to work toward a more suitable direction consistent with their vision of what America should be and do? Why can’t we agree that due to hard work, plain luck or the right parents, some of us will own and enjoy more of the things this great country has to offer? Many of those Americans are owners of homes, farms and business buildings in their state. But they do not own this county or this state. Nor do the big banks, the lobbyists or even the politicians own America however it may seem at times to us.

We do need to take America back however. Take it back to the spirit that saw a generation through the great depression and back to the attitude that we are all in this together that pursued and won World Wars I and II. Take it back to the time we respected our federal and state officials and our president at least enough to respect the office and call him President Bush or President Obama. Take it back to a time when our patriotism and love of country was a given and we didn’t have to debate or question our exceptionalism.

Let’s do take our country back, back from selfishness and greed, from refusal to work with those who think or look different from us, from our way or the highway. And when we think we have it right, that it is the America of our dreams, will we be astute enough and experienced enough then to understand that other Americans can and no doubt will be disaffected and dissatisfied enough to want to take back their America?

Middle Grove Flags...

The fourth and fifth grade class at Middle Grove School recently began a unit on persuasive writing. This class is also in charge of raising the flag in front of the school each day. Since the flag the school had was in a state of disrepair, their teacher, Mr. Harris, gave them the assignment of writing to Rep. Paul Quinn and asking for a new U.S. flag for the school. Rep. Quinn promptly responded by sending not only a beautiful new United States flag to the students, but also a new Missouri flag. These students will proudly raise these new flags each day in front of Middle Grove School.

Missouri is currently experiencing a six percent increase in traffic fatalities compared to the same period last year. The Patrol is committed to the reduction of traffic crash fatalities through education and enforcement efforts.

“We expect many motorists to be traveling through-

out Missouri over this holiday period,” stated Captain Wilt. “Our goal is very simple: We want everyone to arrive at their destination safely. Please obey all traffic laws, ensure that everyone in your vehicle is properly restrained, and never drink and drive.”

America Recycles Day, Nov. 15, at Mark Twain Lake Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on Nov. 15, each year to celebrate America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling in the United States.

Thanks to a grant from the Mark Twain Solid Waste Management District received by Yancey’s Auto Parts of Perry, this past summer, recycling efforts at Mark Twain Lake were increased greatly. Yancey’s used the grant money to purchase 65 recycling containers that were placed at various locations around the Mark Twain Lake area. In addition to the purchasing of the containers, Yancey’s also committed to the removal of all recyclable products collected within the containers on a weekly basis.

In fact, Yancey’s estimates at least 67 tons of waste was removed from the Mark Twain Lake area this year already, rather than increasing the burden of trash placement in our nation’s landfills and on the environment.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Mark Twain Lake would also like to take this opportunity to remind its area residents that they have a year round opportunity to utilize the Mark Twain Lake Recycling Program by using the drop-off location located at the Ray Behrens Recreation Area. This program is made possible thanks to an on-going partnership between the U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers and the Monroe City Sheltered Workshop. Just another reason to stop out and enjoy the scenery out at Mark Twain Lake- saving our planet! The brown shed located just north of the campground entrance is available for anyone, not just campers, to drop off their recyclables. Materials that are accepted include: cardboard, newspapers, plastics 1 and 2, magazines, paper, aluminum and other metal materials.

This on-going opportunity is made possible thanks to the efforts of the Monroe City Sheltered Workshop. To ease the burden and save time for those willing to recycle, the materials don’t even have to be sorted. Employees of the workshop provide that service. The Monroe City Sheltered Workshop is a not-forprofit corporation providing dignified and meaningful employment for developmentally disabled adults specializing in recycling, parts inspection, industrial sanding, assembly work and custom pallet building.

The Mark Twain Solid Waste Management District Region G is funded by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and is governed by county commissioners from seven counties.

If you need additional information or have questions regarding these programs and how you can take part, please contact the Project Office at 573735-4097 or email us at marktwaininfo@usace. army.mil.

Save Up To $200 on Holiday Gifts

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

With a little planning, you can find ways to stretch your gift-giving budget this holiday season. Try these ideas to make saving money the present you give yourself.

Go online before you shop. Many retailers post online special promotions and coupons that you can apply to purchases. Check what’s available before you make a purchase online or head out to the store. Sites like RetailMeNot make finding discounts easy by listing coupon codes for dozens of popular retail sites.

Redeem your rewards points. The bonus points that you accumulate through credit cards, airline travel and hotel stays can add up to a present or two. Cash in your available points to “purchase” a gift for someone on your list.

Seek out group discounts. Sites such as Groupon. com, Living Social and others offer deals and deeply discounted coupons that help you stretch your dollar.

Always read the fine print on these offers, taking note of expiration dates and other restrictions to make sure they fit into your gift-giving plans.

Save on shipping. Don’t pay for shipping if you don’t have to. Plenty of online retailers will forgo shipping charges during the holiday season. They may also ship free to your local store and let you pick up your item there.

Buy together. Wine is often sold at a discount when you buy a case. Go in with a friend or two and you’ll all knock a few dollars off the per-bottle price. Or split the cost—and the quantity—of a great entrée for your holiday meal at a warehouse club.

Spread out the season. If you can’t afford new hardcover books for every reader on your list, save a few dollars by giving someone a subscription to a publication that he or she will enjoy throughout the year.

Take advantage of two-for-one offers. Buying perfume for a friend? If you get a free gift with your purchase, earmark it for the preteen on your list.

Cut the price of gift cards. Shopping clubs and online sites such as Plastic Jungle and Card Pool offer gift cards for less than the full retail price. Give the cards as presents—or use them yourself to make your money go farther.

Call on your smartphone. Rely on shoppers’ apps to help you make good purchase decisions. There are numerous apps that help you compare prices, identify sales and review products—potentially saving you money before you buy.

These tips from State Farm® can help you with budgeting at any time of year. You can also sign up for a free account at State Farm Nation Rewards to find exclusive special offers just for you.

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh On Sunday, Nov. 4, 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: Recognition of Veteran’s Day, the youth are serving at an auction on the 17th at 9 am, Pizza and Movie Night at church on the 17th at 6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16 is the Christmas program.

This week’s message was entitled ‘When God Calls on You’ and came from Exodus 3:1-10. Many Scriptures tell us we need to communicate with God. Normally we start the conversation in prayer. What about when God starts the conversation? Moses found out in the quietness of the desert what it is like when God starts the conversation with man. Moses was leading his sheep to greener pastures when God got his attention through a burning bush.

Moses altered his self determined path to see this wonder.

This is when God started to speak to Moses by calling him by name.

God set the rules by telling Moses not to come closer and to take off his sandals for he was on God’s holy ground. Then God introduces himself as the God of Moses’ forefathers. Then this compassionate God tells Moses that He has seen his children’s affliction in Egypt, hears their cry, and knows their sorrows and God is about to do something about it. God did not invite Moses to join Him in freeing the Hebrews; God called Moses into service to God to free the Hebrews.

The events of this Scripture are still true today except maybe the audible voice of God. God uses the Holy Spirit, the Bible, and prayer as main ways to communicate today. Being in a quiet place, altering you preset routines, listening to God’s instructions and answering God’s call are normal parts of God’s children’s lives today. Ever feel God is far away? He is not, just slow down, get quiet, and look for God to speak to you.

S&S Auto Sales now added to Center roster of businesses Brian Woodhurst is now managing S&S Sales, in Center.

When Woodhurst was approached by Mark Stotler to manage S & S Sales, he immediately saw it as an opportunity to step into something new after working at the local Elevator for the past 28 years.

As a lifetime resident of Ralls County, Woodhurst always liked cars, and had always thought of managing a car lot.

“I felt the community needed it,” said Woodhurst.

“I am now three blocks closer to home than my previous employer,” added Woodhurst with a chuckle.

S & S Sales has been in business in New London for the past 22 years.

Woodhurst noted that Center is a prime location with Hwy 19, local traffic and pass throughs.

“So far there has been a great response,” noted Woodhurst. “The people of Center have been very welcoming.”

Woodhurst explained that the goal of S&S Sales is providing quality vehicles. “if we don’t have what your looking for – we can find it, said Woodhurst.

“We have various sources to pull from.”

It was also noted that in the future S&S Sales may

Brian Woodhurst move into trailers, campers, boats, four wheelers and motorcycles.

The business hours are from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. till noon on Saturday.

Hebrews 9:24-28 was read by Wyatt for the sermon “A Sacrificial Giving”. Pastor Todd said “if you believe in God with all your heart then there will be a better place to be. Jesus sacrificed it all for us and we need to be thankful for God’s love and graciousness”.

Following the benediction, we dismissed singing “God Bless America”.

American Education Week History

Paris R-II American Education Week Essay Winners

The National Education Association was one of the creators and original sponsors of American Education Week.

Distressed that 25 percent of the country’s World War I draftees were illiterate and 9 percent were physically unfit, representatives of the NEA and the American Legion met in 1919 to seek ways to generate public support for education.

The conventions of both organizations subsequently adopted resolutions of support for a national effort to raise public awareness of the importance of education.

In 1921, the NEA Representative Assembly in Des Moines, Iowa, called for designation of one week each year to spotlight education. In its resolution, the NEA called for: “An educational week ... observed in all communities annually for the purpose of informing the

public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.”

The first observance of American Education Week occurred December 4-10, 1921, with the NEA and American Legion as the cosponsors. A year later, the then U.S. Office of Education joined the effort as a cosponsor, and the PTA followed in 1938.

Other co-sponsors are the U.S. Department of Education and national organizations including the National PTA, the American Legion,

the American Association of School Administrators, the National School Boards Association, the American Federation of Teachers, the American School Counselor Association, the Council of Chief State School Officers, the National School Public Relations Association, the National Association of State Boards of Education, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

American Education Week is always celebrated the week prior to the week of Thanksgiving.

Nov. 11 - 17 is American Education Week The National Education Association was one of the creators and original sponsors of American Education Week.

Distressed that 25 percent of the country’s World War I draftees were illiterate and 9 percent were physically unfit, representatives of the NEA and the American Legion met in 1919 to seek ways to generate public support for education.

The conventions of both organizations subsequently adopted resolutions of support for a national effort to raise public awareness of the importance of education. In 1921, the NEA Representative Assembly in Des Moines, Iowa, called for designation of one week each year to spotlight education. In its resolution, the NEA called for: “An educational week

... observed in all communities annually for the purpose of informing the public of the accomplishments and needs of the public schools and to secure the cooperation and support of the public in meeting those needs.” (www.nea.org).

The Paris R-II Certified Teachers Association held a writing contest for 2nd grade – 12th grade. Students had to write a brief essay on why education is important for their success now and in the future.

Lower Elementary Winner is Briley Hancock – 3rd grade. Upper Elementary winner is Saylor Forsyth– 5th grade. Jr. High Winner is Taylor Gruber - 7th grade. High School Winner is Danielle Wheelan -11th grade. The Paris R-II CTA is very proud of all the contestant writers and it was very hard to choose the winners!!

Individual Essay Winners

School is important because you get to learn how to read, write, do math, science, and social studies. School teaches you more and more learning every day! You get to learn cursive so you don’t have to always write in print.

It helps you when you are at a store or if you have to pay someone. You use your math to help you count money.

If you want to work you need to know how to read, write, do math, science, and social studies. In life you need to know that stuff. It will make life easier.

Paris R-II American Education Week Essays... continued from page 12 Education is very important for me now. My education is important now so I can get A cubed all four quarters.

It can help me with going into sixth grade, then help me pass and achieve that grade then so forth. I will try to get all the success I can now so a reward will come. Maybe what I want to do later on will pay off for a scholarship or something different that is important to me. Education is important in different subjects and grades in my life now.

My future is very important to me and my life plans. All of the education that I learn in school will help me in my daily life, like going shopping and adding the percentage up at a store. I will get noticed for being a smart girl, then that will lead me to my life plans, college scholarships, and help me at my job as an anesthesiologist. Education will help me in the future by reading to my kids, helping my kids do homework, and helping others. My life plans are important to me in many ways.

Why Education Is Important To Me!

By Taylor Gruber, 7th Grade Education plays an important role in my lif, and today I plan to tell you how and why education is important to my life, my future, and me. I will also tell you what I would like to do with my life, and how education will help me along the way.

I am an average 7th grade student. I have a love for learning new things. I wake up every morning thinking what will I learn today? How will I use it in my life?

These simple things can help me become a better student, role model, and over all a better person. My parents hold high standers for me with my education and I intend to put forth my best effort every day.

Education is important to me because I want to look forward to a bright future and make a living for myself.

I want to be able to provide for my family and me. Education affects my everyday life by helping me reach my goals and helping me learn life skills. That is exactly why I am motivated to see the glass half full rather than empty. Education affects my future as well as my present.

College will be a BIG step forward and it’s only 6 years away!

I am excited to start my bright future with one of the biggest education choices of my life! I would like to be an archeologist studying land and its history to improve our future America. In one perspective education only has one meaning. For example: getting good grades or graduating from high school. In my perspective, education means future, success, strength, and experience. Who would ever know a nine letter word could make your dreams come true!

Education is Success By: Danielle Wheelan, 11th grade We spend the first part of our lives going to some form of schooling, almost every day, for twelve years or more.

We spend this, usually in a classroom, being taught material that society has deemed critical to learn and comprehend --From the essentials of learning numbers and ABC’s all the way to American government and upper level math such as Calculus. All across this country, there are kids in these classrooms that think “Why do we need to know this? I don’t need education.” The truth is that we all need education. It’s a part of life. Education is fundamental for your success, now and in the future. Why you may ask? It ensures a productive future, opens up many new opportunities, and reinforces confidence.

Without education, your career choices can be limited.

Without a high school degree, it can even be hard to get a job at the local gas station. In today’s times, it is expected for people of any age to be knowledgeable and well prepared before entering the workforce. High school and college offer opportunities to set you on the right path toward your various interests and career choices you may want to explore. It provides an opportunity for every student to have a productive future.

New opportunities arise when you get an education-not just the opportunity for any job, but the opportunity to meet interesting people, travel to new places, and maybe get that dream job you always wanted. It also reinforces confidence. Studies show that general well-being and self esteem can be linked to higher levels of education and increased income. It feels good to be successful.

William Butler Yeats once stated, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” This is very true: Education is the key to a better life now and in the future. It provides a person with the opportunity to have a worthwhile future, have great opportunities that they couldn’t have without an education, and lead a happy and productive life.

It is important to my future to have a good education. I can get a good job with my education. I could make a lot of money. I will be a lot smarter. I can learn more than I can in second grade with more education!

Colton Poddany It is important to my future to have a good education. An education is good to have to help you get a job. It is good to get a job with education. You need an education to make money. You need an education to help your own children learn. If I get a good education, I will learn more.
