Giving Up The Power

S

The resignation of Pope Benedict XVI has been met with surprise across the world. The Papacy was considered to be like the Eagles’ Hotel California. You could check out but you could never leave.

What was surprising as well to many observers was Benedict’s willingness to give up the power and prestige that goes with being the undisputed head of a church that has over a billion members. Many of the faithful that were interviewed agreed with the decision to resign and had praise for the Pope for doing so.

I have always had respect for those who have given up positions of power and influence when they could have stayed in power. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner comes to mind A recent interview showed her to be still very sharp and tuned in to world affairs since resigning as a Supreme Court Justice when she had a lifetime appointment. I am sure she has a very comfortable pension but it is not the same as having a hand in the most important legal decisions of the country’s history.

Likewise I have always liked and admired Jack Danforth, one former U.S. Senator from Missouri. He too gave up his fairly safe seat and the power and influence that goes with the job. It can be fairly said that Danforth was and is a man of means and didn’t need the job financially. But he is also an honorable and decent guy who thought it was time to leave the Senate and all that went with it.

It cannot be easy to relinquish power and influence. The reasons that people do so are varied and sometimes complex. But in general those who give up that power are deserving of some respect for having the courage to do so and also for their consideration of how their decision would affect their church, their Courts or their state.

To them I would offer an early, very personal and minor version of the only opinion and judgment that we all await and will be subject to and hope to hear. “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Just Ask Dave...

A Restaurant Today, A Restaurant Tomorrow! I have been on a Buy Locally campaign imploring residents to buy at least some of their necessary items here in town before visiting the box stores.

I recently attended the University of Missouri - Extension Annual Banquet at the 15 Diner and it had me thinking maybe I need to also push for an Eat Locally campaign.

What other town of 1,260 boasts Publisher David Eales the eateries that Paris has? With the rising cost of gas it is nice to have places locally to eat. Your food is prepared by people you know and that “hamburger” doesn’t have a built in “traveling cost.”

We have the 15 Diner as previously mentioned, we also have Jonesy’s, Southern Belle, jacs, Subway, the Senior Citizen’s Center, Hickman’s IGA Deli and Casey’s General Store and Abel’s Quik Shop for pizza and other related fare.

All of these have their positive points for a week’s worth of dining without visiting the same establishment in the same week.

15 Diner - Excellent food served with love by owners Rhonda Johnson and Chandra Blades. jacs - Authentic Mexican, American and a Wednesday Italian Night with a full service menu featuring over 50 items.

Jonesy’s - Fast service and a large menu make for an enjoyable experience.

Southern Belle - Eclectic menu planing for daily specials coupled with friendly service.

Subway - Foot long sandwiches made to order, pizza, soup and salads al;so available plus breakfast!

Senior Citizen’s Center - a widely varied menu with their fan favorite fried chicken Fridays.

Casey’s - Roseann and Vickie lunches and pizza maker extrordinnaire Samantha VanBoening.

Abel’s - Pizza, either thin or thick crust, hot dogs and assorted other sandwiches and burritos.

So all in all whether looking for a night on the town or a lunch break you have plenty of choices here in town to sooth those hunger pangs.

Have a great week!

He is Representative Weber of St. Louis, who introduced a bill today to proved a closed season from April 15 to June 15. During the period any person who kills, buys, barters or has his possession bullfrogs, “dead or alive,” will be subject to a fine of from $10 to $50.

Sold $30 Worth of Sassafras. Willis Yowell peddled neat branches of sassafras root from house to house in Paris and Monroe City the first of the week, his sales at 10 cents a bunch amounting to $30. Willis made a hit with sassafras tea addicts with the variety he was selling them complied with the rule laid down in a recent Appeal editorial, which was that in order to be orthodox sassafras tea must be made from the red variety. Old timers used to put their families through a course of sassafras tea every February, on the theory that it purified their blood and made them fit for spring activities. Most of them drank it because of its pleasing flavor.

Want Permanent Commentary Upkeep. Citizens and taxpayers are petitioning the city council to put an ordinance on the ballot in April which if

passes would authorize the council to levy a special tax for the employing of an all time caretaker at the Walnut Grove cemetery, and an assistant during the summer months, in order that the cemetery may be kept in first class shape the year round.

Want Ad Brought Too Many Answers. The Want Ad that Stuart Bassett ran in the Appeal last week, saying that he wanted to buy a baby bed, brought so many answers that Bassett was kept busy answering the telephone from early Thursday afternoon for several days, until he becomes convinced that nearly every household in the country had a spare baby bed for sale. He got the bed he wanted.

Just a Thought

by Lisa Talton

Still Small Voice One night last week we had two children stay overnight with us because their mom had to work until the early morning. She needed someone to watch them and get them off to school. The next morning when everyone was getting ready for school we had discovered that one of the children had left their shoes outside all night. That would not have been a problem except it had rained all through the night and his shoes were soaking wet.

There was not enough time to dry them out so I had asked my son if he could let him borrow some to wear to school. He gave him one pair to wear but the boy said the tip of the toe(where the rubber part is) was starting to come off and said he had PE that day and he wouldn’t be able to play kick ball in them. My son came into the room and said he didn’t understand what was wrong with them and that he wore them all the time. I asked him to still go ahead and see if he could find another pair to give him.

My son did find him another pair and they were actually his favorite shoes. The boy liked them a lot and was excited about getting to wear them. He wasn’t mad about him wearing them but you could tell he wasn’t overjoyed either. It wasn’t like they were the greatest or really expensive shoes because at our

house we don’t spend tons of money on the top shoes but it was still like his favorite pair that he wore every day. Despite the fact, my son still did a good job not letting the boy know he wished he would have wore the other pair.

Later on that day I was picking up my children from their grandma’s house. As we were driving home son said this to me: “Hey mom. Today at school God told me I need to go ahead and give those shoes to him.” So I told him if that is what he needed to do then he should do it. And he did. He told the boy he could keep the shoes.

I was very proud of my son once again. Not only because he did something nice and considerate but also because he chose to listen to that still, small voice. It gave me comfort knowing that he is capable and willing to listen to the One who knows way more than him, me and his daddy put together.

It amazes me sometimes how thoughtful and giving our children can be. They seem to have such a desire to make others happy and I believe not only do children have that but we as adults do as well. We might get so busy and preoccupied with things going on around us that it drowns out that still small voice inside of us but it is there.

God is talking to all of us whether old or young. The only difference is how many of us are really listening?

Little Dixie Library awarded grant Secretary of State Jason Kander recently announced the Little Dixie Regional Libraries received a Technology Mini Grant in the amount of $4,283.

Funds will be used to replace switches and a system server, as well as adding a rack to improve network performance, better meet patron and staff demand and prepare for the migration to Missouri Evergreen “These technology grants are an investment in the future of our communities and our children,” Kander said. “We are fortunate to have such a strong network of public libraries throughout the state, and I am pleased to assist in their continued growth.”

The Secretary of State’s technology mini grants are funded by the Library Services & Technology Act through the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums.

The Institute’s mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas.

In the 2013 Fiscal Year, the Missouri State Library has approved a total of 94 grant applications,

distributing $558,873 in federal awards to libraries throughout Missouri.

Welcome To My Office Staff After many years of energy and talent, Kathy Gilmore decided to retire. She sort of did last tax season. Then she told me last summer that she really wanted to have more time with family so she pulled in her shingle officially January 31st. She has put a lot of trust in me to care for her clients and I truly desire to spoil all of our clients with the best customer service that I can. Kathy, thanks for the opportunity and on behalf of your clients, we say THANKS! I have been blessed to have two ladies join me this year. Please allow me to introduce them to you: Joanne Bonney is our “Director of First Impressions”. Joanne comes to us a whole two blocks from her previous job at the Monroe County Appeal. She came with high recommendations from Dick Fredrick as well as the entire Appeal staff. I am glad I listened. She is as loyal as they come and a customer pleaser.

Tax Associate Lori Owens was born and raised in Paris and now resides in Clark.

She graduated from Paris High School in 1981 and has been working in the accounting field since 1987. She likes to ride horses, enjoy the outdoors, and embroidering.

Her mother is Nina Owens and still lives west of Paris.

I am thrilled to have both these girls on my staff so I can spend more time out in the offices of my business clients where I can really get to know them and their services. I couldn’t provide excellent customer service without them. Stop in and welcome them to our office!

MDS to host two day bow hunter education class The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will host a twoday bowhunter-education class from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 and from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 26 at Central College of the Bible, 911 E. Urbandale Drive, in Moberly. There is no cost for the program, but pre-registration is required.

“Bowhunter-education provides a foundation in hunting safety and ethics that helps hunters focus on more than just being successful in the pursuit of game,” said MDC Outdoor Skills Specialist Rob Garver. “Participants receive a minimum of eight hours of classroom training, plus additional time for testing, outdoor demonstrations and other classroom discussion.”

The course is recommended for motivated students age 14 and older with good reading and comprehension skills who have

some archery and hunting knowledge or experience.

However, any student 11 years of age and older may be tested and certified in the course. The bowhunter-education program can serve as a refresher for veteran bow hunters as well.

To register for the program, or for more information, contact Garver at Rob.Garver@mdc.mo.gov or 660-785-2420.

While a bowhunter-education certificate is not required by statewide game regulations, many Missouri cities that allow archery hunting inside their city limits require bowhuntereducation certification.

Additionally, many other states require bowhunter education before hunters are allowed to apply for or take part in bow hunts in their state.

For more information about Missouri’s bowhunter-education program go online to mdc.mo.gov/ node/9723.

Cars That Talk...

To Each Other

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Hollywood often imagines a future in which drivers talk to their vehicles. In reality, experts are close to developing technology that allows cars to “speak” to each other as well. By enabling vehicles to communicate with each other and their surroundings via wireless communication, connected vehicle technology could help make roads safer for drivers.

Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Program The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that this evolving technology could address about 80 percent of non-impaired crash scenarios. To further evaluate the technology’s effectiveness and drivers’ experiences with it, the United States Department of Transportation has launched the Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Program.

Safety Pilot Model Deployment The testing phase of the program is currently under way in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There, the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute is testing the technology on city streets and in local vehicles.

“This is a scientific initiative to understand what benefits might be realized through the real-world deployment of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology,” says Jim Sayer, program manager for the Safety Pilot Model Deployment.

In August 2012, 2,800 cars, trucks and buses equipped with connected vehicle technology hit the road. On board were devices that broadcast 10 signals every second to communicate the vehicle’s speed, location and travel direction. Wireless devices also were installed along 73 lane-miles of roadway in the city.

Sayer says 400 of the vehicles are outfitted with aftermarket or embedded safety devices. “These can not only send out a signal, but also listen for other vehicle awareness devices,” he says. That message is then translated into audible warnings alerting drivers of potentially dangerous situations, such as a vehicle braking suddenly, a driver entering a blind spot or hazards at intersections.

Next Steps NHTSA will use the data collected during the Connected Vehicle Safety Pilot Program to determine, by 2013, whether or not to move forward with the technology. Find out more about connected vehicle technology, its possible applications and the pilot program from the U.S. Department of Transportation

Rachel and Mendy Blades shared the joy (and concern) of Rachel obtaining her driver’s permit.

“How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds” was the communion hymn sung as elders, Sandy Callison and Guy Callison, went forward to serve; deacons were Gary Wilson and Darold Thrasher. The communion service ended after sharing of communion, collection of offerings and singing of the doxology.

“While Building the Church, Make Jesus the Foundation” was the title of the sermon from Reverend Holmes. Scripture reference was Matthew 16:13-20. The closing hymn, “Jesus Saves” was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Santa Fe Christian Church

Pastor Kenny Sharp

“Concept” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s message Sunday morning. Christians get the concept of living for God by 1) focusing on the purpose of one goal, 2) focusing on achieving that goal and 3) focusing on our walk with Jesus through faith. Stephen’s actions of faith in Acts 6: 8-15 and 7: 51-60 are a perfect example of how to achieve those three steps.

Tootsie Peak spoke with the children about always saying nice and positive things to others. Sometimes they say things that hurt other’s feelings and when this happens they need to always think about how good they feel when nice things are said to them.

Prayers were requested for Randy Bell, Jo Reynolds’s dad, Austin and Makaela Chase, students and staff of the Paris schools, all school-age students, Cassie Olivas, Valena and James A. Booth, Frankie Ross, David Brewer, Robert Lee DeOrnellas, Corey Bergthold, Jordan Eskew, Monroe Manor residents, Josey Rentschler, Sandra Carman, and Bob Williams. Traveling mercies were requested for Barbara Zastrow as she travels to Israel.

Praises were shared for David Kendrick being home from Haiti, that Gene Hagen is better, for Keith Woodhurst resting better, and for Bill Miller having a good check-up.

Fred Omer thanked everyone for the card sent to his dad, Ralph Omer. A Thank you card was read from Troy Ritter and his family.

Paris First Baptist Church

Pr. Wesley Hammond

The children’s sermon was given by Diana Hammond.

When we think of Valentines Day, what do we think of? Answer: Jesus. Do you think of love? What is love? 1 John 4:16 says love is God. God gave us Jesus. How do you behave when you love someone? Answer: Nicely. We should love and obey parents and share with our friends. Mark and Courtney Bell led children’s church.

Call to worship given by Steve Ensor was Psalm 100 and during the personal worship moment he sang, “All That Thrills My Heart is Jesus”.

Announcements: The Valentine Banquet served 60 people and the workers. The youth sponsored event netted $1,100.00 and will be used for their Supper Summer program. Another event for youth, adults and children will be on Saturday, Feb. 16, 7 p.m. Chris Day will perform at the church. A free will offering will be received for his expenses and the remainder will be for Super Summer expenses.

Wednesday, Feb. 13, 6:30 a.m., Lenten Breakfast at the Senior Center; Our Father’s closet 9 a.m. – noon; Prayer meeting 6:15 p.m., GUTS (youth group) 6:30 p.m., choir practice 7 p.m., Bible study on prayer 7:00 p.m. and business meeting 8:06 p.m.

Thursday, Feb. 14, No TeamKid. Diana Hammond announced she needs adults to drive youth around to place scripture on doors.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, entitled “Faith Must Have Love”. The theme for the year is “The Righteous will live by faith”. We fall short of the glory of God if we do not have love. Paul says in verse 2, “…if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” True love has no timeline, nor does it keep a record of wrongs. We must be faithful and loving.

Throughout the service musical praises were provided by Brenda Ensor and Kathy Miller. The choir presented special music, “Find Us Faithful”.

Granville Christian Church

Come on out to the Valentines Banquet at Granville Christian Church, 6:30 p.m., on Saturday, Feb. 16. Bring your loved ones, families and friends. The men of the church are cooking the meal. They will begin work about 2 p.m.

Faith Walk Ministries

Bishop Harold Long

Psalm 84:12 – O Lord, Blessed is the man who trusts in you!

Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Services began at 10:30 a.m.

“Alpha & Omega” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.

Opening prayer was led by Elder Helen Fugate, and the opening Scripture was read by Elder Maurice Berry.

“Days of Elijah” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.

“Moving Forward” was sung by FaithWalk Choir.

“Praise Him” was sung by Bishop Long with FaithWalk Choir, before the Word of God was presented.

The title of the message by Bishop Harold G. Long was “The Power of God’s Glory Will Make the Difference.” II Corinthians 4:6, St. John 3:30-31, II Corinthians 3:13-19.

“If you decrease, you will live in His increase.” The glory of God in your life brings about a change. Acts 3:1-11 – Peter and John were moving in the glory of God, from their upper room experience. The lame man was shameful to the point where he could not look any one in the face. But Peter told him to look out of his circumstance and look at them(to see the glory of God that they had in them.) He was then able to rise out of his circumstance and mindset and move in his purpose because of God’s glory.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us. Tuesday at 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. God bless you!

Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

On Sunday, Feb. 10, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend.

Announcements included: last night’s lock-in for the youth was a success, on Saturday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m., we will have Movie and Pizza night at the church. Church directory photos are scheduled for March 5 and 6 so sign-up for a time to take your pictures. Steve Miller of Praises to Him Ministries presented mission opportunities for Alaska.

This week’s sermon was entitled ‘Faithful Stewardship in Christ’ and came from Matthew 25:14-30. Having faithful stewardship as a Christian encompasses everything you do in life. This includes how you spend your time, how you allocate your resources, and what your energy is used for. If you truly believe Jesus will return again and Christians will stand before Him to give an account of their lives, then it is important to know what Jesus taught on stewardship.

In the ‘parable of the talents’ Jesus is the traveling man who went to heaven for a long time and then returns to His servants for an account of what they had done with what He had given them. On His return, Jesus finds two types of servants. The first type is faithful and profitable with what they had been given. They needed no excuses when the master returned. They were rewarded with praise from the master and they entered into the joy of the Lord.

The second type of servant was wicked and lazy who made no profit with what was given him but instead buried the talent in the ground until he gave it back to the master. This servant’s excuse was that the master was a hard (serve and merciless) man and the servant would not risk losing the talent. The servant had not taken the effort to get to know his master and had conceived this wrong image of Jesus in the imagination of his own mind. This servant was thrown into darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Both types of servants probably sat in church every week and worshipped together. The difference is the profitable actually did what Jesus wanted them to do. The unprofitable did what they wanted to do and hoped Jesus would give them grace and mercy anyway. Romans 10:13 tells us that all who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. This means Jesus is Lord of your life by actions first, then by words. This parable shows how serious Jesus will take the issue of stewardship when His servants come to give an account of their lives.

Reva Sheffield and Karla Harrison served as Worship Leaders, Mary Beth Mitchell served as Song Leader, and Mary Jo Wilson served as the organist.

Others who participated in the service were Elders Nancy Bierly and Donald Johnson; Diaconate Annie Herron, Celeste Vaughn, Sandra Duncan, and Gayle Threlkeld; and Acolytes Macy Bush and Hannah Vaughn. Junior Church Leaders are Anita Ness and Rumiko Castleman.

The Bible memory verse is: For to me, to live is Christ.

Phillippians 1:21. The thought for the week is: “It is impossible to push yourself ahead by patting yourself on the back.”

Perry Christian Church

Pastor David Todd

The Perry Christian Church worship hour for Sunday, Feb. 10, opened with Tristen Johnson and Peyton Hawkins lighting the altar candles. The choir sang "I Stand Amazed". Pastor Todd gave the greetings and announced that tonight would be movie night at the church.

Soup and sandwich fellowship will be after today's worship service. Everyone was invited to stay.

"Give Thanks" was the hymn of praise. Mary Young will be celebrating a birthday on Monday, Feb. 18. Ron McLaughlin's birthday is Friday, Feb. 15. Little Emily Sue Myrick was born on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

The hymn for prayer was "If That Isn't Love". Jessica Hurd and Denny Tischer are new additions for prayer. .

"My Jesus,I Love Thee" was the special music sung by the Provancha's, Arlen and Cheri.

The children,s moment was presented by Jeannie Gay. They received valentines from Jesus as a reminder of God's love.

Luke 9:28-36 was read by Tom Hurley for pastor's sermon, "A Dazzling Experience". The disciples were able to see Jesus differently after they were on the mountain top with Jesus as He met with Moses and Elijah. It is a reminder to open your eyes and ears so God can show you what He can do.

"Redeeming Love was the invitation hymn and to close the service "Only Trust Him" was sung.

During the fellowship lunch Nancy Seelow had several valentines she gave to the couple married the longest, Martha and Dean Harrison. Floyd and Ruth Seelow's award was for the oldest newly weds. The Harrison's and Buddy and Carol Norman were high school sweethearts.

Pastor John played guitar as he and Patti sang “When We All Get to Heaven”.

The morning message “The Gospel Truth” was based on scripture from 1 Corinthians 15 as the gospel of Jesus Christ can be explained in less than three minutes...”Christ died on the cross for all our sins; He was buried and He was raised on the third day”. Those who have died in Jesus Christ will be raised as a spiritual body - we will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye! The bible tells how important it is to have faith in Jesus. Every knee shall bow - you need to know the gospel! He wants everyone to live in glory forever.

As you travel along Life’s Highways and Byways there is one road Highway 154 that will take you to the little berg of Perry, located only eight miles from Mark Twain Lake and Clarence Cannon Dam. But any road you take this week will lead you to Valentine’s Day - the annual affirmation of love, celebrated by exchanging tokens of affection on February 14 as poet Geoffrey Chaucer is noted for his writings.

Some scholars believe that Chaucer seized upon the day of St. Valentine, February 14, because it was the feast day on the church calendar closest to the time that people would see the first indications of spring - Chaucer’s “Gathering of the Birds” written about 1380 was the beginning of Valentine’s Day. Or some believe that St. Valentine writing from a prison cell sent flowers by a dove to his little flock simply saying “I love you” , “I’m your Valentine”... No matter what you believe, February 14 is still celebrated today with messages of love. So be sure to tell that special someone how much you care, for love is like a road going somewhere...

Sun., February 17 the Perry Christian Church will be hosting a movie “Clancy” at 6 p.m. all are welcome to attend.

Thurs., February 28 the Perry Ladies Night Supper will be held at St. Williams Catholic Church at 6:30 p.m. come and bring a friend.

Be sure to attend the church of your choice this week...

Sixth annual Discover Nature Girls Camp set for June 25-27

The Missouri Department of Conservation will be offering its sixth annual Discover Nature Girls Camp.

It is a free three-day, twonight girls camp aimed at introducing young ladies ages 11–15 to different outdoors skills in a supportive learning environment. In 2013, the camp will be held June 25, 26, and 27.

The camp is held in Monroe County at Mark Twain Lake State Park.

Campers spend three fun filled days learning by participating in a “hands on” hunter education class; shooting firearms and archery equipment, walking through a safety trail and taking the hunter education test. Throughout the camp, the girls will participate in a variety of outdoor skills such as canoeing, orienteering and fishing. Campers learn about all aspects of fishing; from fish identification, casting, tying knots, and cleaning fish, to finally going fishing. This all occurs in a group setting

of their peers, being taught by knowledgeable instructors who make participants comfortable and willing to try new things. The camp is limited to 60 girls between the ages of 11 to 15 years old. The first 60 applications received by the Conservation Department’s Northeast Regional Office will be selected to attend.

Diner co-owners Rhonda Johnson and Chandra Blades were given a rousing round of applause for the meal.

Giving fantastic presentations for the evening’s entertainment and information were John DeOrnellis and Lauren Embree who informed the group about their efforts at the 2013 “Pink Out” game.

“We will be donating $4,300 to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters,” said both DeOrnellis and Embree.

Also presenting for the banquet were Caleb Fuller

“I am involved in many activities through school and 4-H,” said Fuller.

“Sometimes my projects do not turn out like I expected… however, we must be optimistic – it is through our failures that we learn the most.”

“GROW will you ever look at it the same ever again?” asked Fuller in closing.

portant road win in LCC play last night,” said Lady Coyote Coach Chris Willingham.

“Fayette doesn’t have a lot of wins to show for their effort, but they are playing hard and execute very well on offense and defense. We had to focus and play well to pull away from them. We got off to a good start with a 13-4 first quarter only to start slowly in the 2nd quarter and allow Fayette to close the gap to as close as 3 a couple times. We finished the quarter strongly to push back ahead for a 7 point lead at the half. We had some good opportunities that we didn’t take advantage of offensively and had a few breakdowns defensively, but overall we played a solid first half. We did a very good job in the second half. Everyone on our team made big plays, our bench was outstanding for the 2nd game in a row. Really good transition offense, good execution in the half court, and solid defense for almost the entire second half. Jill Nobis is coming off her career high varsity scoring effort at Westran last Thursday when she had 7, and followed it with a 5 point 3rd quarter last night to push us out to a comfortable cushion. Josey Ball also had a big game for us hitting all 3 shot attempts and finishing with a varsity career high of 8 points. That contribution from the bench is key for us. We had 9 girls score last night and got big contributions from everyone. Haley Fredrick had a big state line with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. It was a very solid effort from our kids to improve to 14-8, 5-2 in conference. We still have a shot to get back into the conference race. Marceline has 1 loss, we play them Friday at home, Salisbury has 2 losses, we play at Salisbury next Friday. Several big games coming up before districts with lots of room for movement at the top of the conference.”

Payton Gruber, averaging approximately 18 points a game, led all scorers with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and an assist in her minutes of

Thank a Farmer Week Connecting To Agriculture

Food, clothing, shelter, transportation... and so much more are products of agriculture. Join Missouri Farm Bureau and the 113 county Farm Bureau organizations across the state, Feb. 10-16, as we pay tribute to Missouri’s farmers and ranchers with a variety of Thank a Farmer Week activities.

The Missouri Farm Bureau Thank a Farmer Week allows us to pause and be reminded of the efforts of farmers and why their work is important to all of us.

Today’s farmers grow more food and do it with fewer resources than any time in history. Consumer demands have changed over time, but farmers meet those needs by providing an increasing variety of goods. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, technology and innovations in agriculture allow one U.S. farmer to provide enough food and fiber for 154 people around the world.

Even amidst the current grow-your-own environment, most people have little contact with the source of their food supply. Most consumers rely on others to produce some or all of what is needed. Statistics show farm families make up about 2 percent of the U.S. population, yet they provide for themselves and the other 98 percent.

“Grocery shelves are filled with an overwhelming number of food product choices,” said Ashley Kendrick, Farm Bureau Young Farmers President. “On average, nearly 40,000 different items appear in most shopping establishments.

Restaurant menus boast a variety of items from which to choose. However, many people fail to connect the dots to realize farmers are the source of their supply of food.”

Farmers provide an abundant, affordable and healthy food supply. Consumers in the U. S. spend

less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food, based on USDA figures.

That amount is less than any country in the world.

Other items we use daily come from agriculture.

Whether it is personal care products, medical items, school supplies, printed materials, sports equipment, manufacturing or construction, agricultural products are in the mix.

“Seldom do we stop and ask ourselves, ‘where did

this come from?” said Kendrick “Farmers and what they provide should not be taken for granted”.

Agriculture is an important part of Monroe County’s economy. Farm businesses give back to the community in many ways while they produce food and fiber for the world. So, join the Monroe County Farm Bureau as they pause to ‘Thank a Farmer’ for a job well done during their special promotion Feb. 10-16.
