The City of Paris has issued the follow-ing press release regarding the payment of utility bills: Due to the record heat in July,

which led to high electric usage, the City of Paris is waiving late penalty fees for the bills until 3 p.m., on Monday, September 10th. If utility payments are not received by that time the late penalty fees will be assessed and the utilities will be subject to turn off. The City hopes this will assist our customers and anticipate the return to more seasonable temperatures which will lower utility costs.

The Paris City Council met in regular session on Tuesday, Aug. 7, at City Hall.

Monroe County Sheriff David Hoffman passed out the number of logged officer hours that were performed for the City of Paris. Sheriff Hoffman then answered any

questions that the board had. Council Bill 2012-04 Amending Chap-

U.S. Congressman for the Sixth District, Republican Sam Graves visited Paris on Tuesday, Aug. 21, as guests of “9-12 We The People of Monroe County”.

Before a large crowd in the Paris Library “9-12” representative Marcie Buckman welcomed the assembled and introduced Congressman Graves.

Buckman noted that Congressman Graves is a lifelong resident of Missouri’s 6th Congressional District. As a small businessman and a sixth-generation fam-ily farmer, Graves has spent his life work-ing to make Missouri a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

Buckman went on to explain that in Con-gress, Graves serves as the Chairman of the Small Business Committee. The Con-gressman also serves on the Transportation Committee and is one of only a handful of farmers in Congress.

In 1992, Graves won his first race for State Representative. In 1994, Graves was elected as State Senator for the 12th Sena-torial District and subsequently re-elected in 1998. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2000 and re-elected overwhelmingly in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010.

Graves is a lifelong resident of Tarkio, a small city not far from the Iowa and Ne-braska borders. He graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia. He is a former volunteer fireman and Eagle Scout and also a sixth-generation farmer.

Congressman Graves addressed the as-sembled discussing what the House of

Representatives has accomplished recent-ly.

“I cannot tell you how important this election is,” said Congressman Graves. “We are now at a crossroads. Spending is way out of control.”

Congressman Graves discussed the vice-presidential pick of Paul Ryan and noted he was very excited about the choice of his close friend and thought it would revital-ize the nominee and the campaign.

Congressman Graves and residents in at-tendance discussed presidential executive orders and what the Republican Party and Congress were doing to “rein in” these or-ders.

“We have passed bills to help stop the proliferation of executive orders but we cannot get them through the Senate so they are not yet law,” explained Graves.

A question was asked about the addition of amendments to bills that caused them to lose their definition. Graves responded that the current speaker was doing a good job at making sure that any amendments to bills were germane to the actual bill rather than just an addition to be an addi-tion. He also praised the speaker with add-ing a three day rule before a bill can be voted on to allow for the bill to be read in its entirety.

Graves also talked to the crowd about the Farm Bill, and the Drought Relief Bill. Graves said the Drought Relief Bill would pass if the Senate brings it to a vote. In regards to the Farm Bill, Graves said he

The Republican Central Committee re-organized on Tuesday night, Aug. 21, in the Monroe County Courthouse Associate Courtroom.

After the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer the meeting got down to business.

David Shively had been appointed In-terim Chairman and chaired the meeting.

“The purpose of this meeting is to select new officers for the Republican Central Committee,” said Shively.

He explained the requirements for each office – Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Sec-retary and Treasurer to the assembled.

Shively explained to the elected town-ship officials that the former Chairman and Vice-Chairman Richard Thomas and

Jackie Thomas had resigned and recom-mended Cyril and Sharon Phenner to re-place them as committeeman and woman. Shively noted that the nomination of the Phenners would take place after the offi-cers were elected.

This is when the meeting got interesting. Monroe Township elected officials and “9-12 We The People of Monroe County” founders Ron and Martha Staggs were at-tending the meeting by phone as they were out of town. Both of the Staggs believed that they would be allowed to vote for of-ficers by electronic means.

Shively informed the Staggs that their votes would not count, as electronic votes were not in the by-laws. But Ron Staggs

The Man in the Mirror

My absolute favorite Michael Jackson song is Man In The Mirror. I can remember many days listening to

it with tears streaming down my face. It almost always caused me to think about this world and how or if my life was making a difference. As I got older the lyrics to the song ministered to me more and more. There is so much truth and wisdom in that song. Not only does it encourage us to take a look at ourselves first before looking at everything and ev-eryone else and pointing our fingers but it also lets us know that we can make a difference.

Sometimes we might think, “Well, I am only one person. What can I do?” or “ One person or vote is not going to change anything.” How wrong that is. One person can do a lot. One person can buy groceries for a struggling fam-ily. One person can give encouragement and kind words to a person who feels lonely and depressed. One person can start the process or putting prayer back in schools. One person can have the idea to start a foundation to help sick, poor, disadvantaged children. Then another one person can help make that idea come to fruition.

Our church watched a movie last week that was all about what one person can do. The main character had a friend in the neighborhood who he was really close to until they got to high school. In high school the main character was an athlete who was very popular but his childhood friend was not. His friend was made fun of and next thing you know the main character did not talk to his child-hood friend at all. The childhood friend

ends up killing himself which causes the main character to reflect on his own life and the way he was living.

He realizes that what he says and does to others can make a difference whether it be good or bad one. He chooses to make a positive one and starts to seek out the kids who appear lonely and un-popular. Throughout the movie he forms friendships with kids at his school who are viewed as outcasts. We later find out that one of the boys he befriended had been contemplating suicide and had even written his mom a note. But because of that one person (the main character) his life turned around. That one person who came up to him at lunch and invited him to sit with them. That one person who hung out with him and let him know he had a friend. That one person who took extra time to be there for him. That one person who didn’t care about what others were saying but instead chose to do the right thing.

If each one of us would wake up in the morning and say, “ I am going to make a positive difference today”, and then allow God to use us to make that difference this world truly would be a better place. We need to stop expecting things to get bet-ter when we are not doing our part. We need to know that our part isn’t the whole puzzle but our piece is needed to make the puzzle complete. One person doing something positive might not seem like a lot if we are only looking at one person but let’s broaden our view and envision one hundred, one thousand and even one million “one persons” doing something positive.

We all have it in us. We all have some-thing to offer. We all have been uniquely designed and made to make a positive dif-ference in the is world. Let’s not only believe this but let’s do it!!!!!

not only increase our social awareness but help us with that ever important issue of self esteem.

It is important to the community, the school, the players and our residents that people take part in these activities. The camaraderie we develop as a part of a group or even as a single individual attending a sporting event has immense impact on many factors. The ticket sales, concession stand profits and even just the feeling the players get from knowing that the community rallies around them helps everyone.

Do you have a schedule? Do you know what the games cost? Have you ever been to a game? For a schedule see the sports preview located in this issue of the Monroe County Appeal. The games cost up to $3 per game or if you really enjoy what you are watching you can buy a season pass from the athletic department. The games are played both at Paris and Madison, at the fairgrounds in Paris, and at the school field in Madison. Or if you like golf you can watch the Lady Coyotes play at the Mark Twain Country Club.

I have mentioned before that the youth sports program is the best ticket in town. The support of our youth by the community helps them grow into productive future leaders as it shows them positive role models, has a positive direction and helps them develop team-work and discipline.

Will they go on to play in college with sports scholarships ? Some will but most will not. Even the ones that do not, when asked, say that their sports days were some of their most enjoyable and memorable days in school.

Academics is very important but it is also good to be tempered with a varied schedule that does include athletics and other extra curricular activities. A successful student is a well-rounded student. All these extra curricular activities are available at their school. It is up to the student, and us the community, to make sure of the results.

Have a great week!

As I write this Congressman Todd Akin has only a few hours to withdraw from the U.S. Senate race here in Missouri without having to obtain a court order to do so later.

Mr. Akin is under fire for remarks made in an interview with reporter Charles Jaco that aired on St. Louis television this past Sunday. His comments about “legitimate rape” and the way that victims of rape have in the female body, “ways to try to shut that whole thing down” thus avoiding becoming pregnant as a result of the rape.

The firestorm of criticism was expected from Democrats, rape victims and those who treat or advocate for them. But joining in loud and clear were Mitt Romney and many other prominent Republicans who called for him to withdraw from the race so that some other candidate could challenge Senator Claire McCaskill in November. He was not only thrown under the bus but severely beaten first and his prostrate body used for a speed bump for a lot of candidates buses hoping to be a part of capturing the U.S. Senate this time around.

To add to his problems in continuing in the race, Akin was advised that the Republi-can Senatorial Committee would not financially support his candidacy if he continued in the race. Representative Akin, yesterday and today so far, vows to continue his candidacy. He believes that his admission of a mistake and apology make things right and that it all was a minor slip of the tongue.

In another time and context these or similar words may not have resulted in the same reactions by friends and foes alike. Akin could have been considered just an ignora-mus from a small state putting his foot into his mouth again and his retraction and apology to the strains of the banjo duet from “Deliverance” playing in the background da da dum dum da and da da dum dum da in response, would be sufficient.

Like most of us, I do not know Mr. Akin personally but do feel bad for him that he did work hard to win a primary race, didn’t really say or promote many bad remarks about his opponents and then had this short interview do the damage that has resulted. I fully expect Mr. Akin to quit the race today, stripped of support and financial assis-tance, and another candidate to be named by the Republicans in short order. Whatever he says about that today, I know I will hear as well the stranger and the backwoods boy and their banjos da da dum dum da in the background.

Civil War Update - Porter Continues to Evade the Federals

Editor’s Note: The Monroe County Appeal will feature Civil War arti-cles in each issue until our Regional Edition - Sept. 19, covering the an-niversary of the Civil War. The re-gional issue will be distributed to all residents in Monroe and Ralls Counties.

On Aug. 22, 1862 Confeder-ate Colonel Joseph Porter headed southward toward Shelby and Mon-roe Counties. He encountered 40 of the La Grange enrolled militia, then headed eastward toward La Grange with only 100 men left. By August 25, Porter is rumored to be near Florida, with 1,000 men. The peo-ple of Paris were greatly concerned for their safety. General McNeil of the Union Army moved south from Hunnewell and took over the oc-cupation of Paris with 800 soldiers. The citizens of Paris were relieved, and grateful for the protection. On the following day Major Rogers and Dodson left Shelbyville to reinforce McNeil’s troops in Paris. August 27th McNeil moved out after Porter again. He marched from Paris and Hunnewell to Newark and then on to Monticello; where he absorbed into his command the battalion of Major Rogers, of the Second Mis-souri State Militia. Lewis and Mar-ion counties were full of bands of confederates, and there was great

uneasiness among the Federals. Even Hannibal was thought to be in trouble.

August 28, 90 mounted militia were gathered in Palmyra, and un-der Captain Meredith were sent to-ward Monroe City to intercept small parties headed toward Porter. The remaining militia under Captain Dubach, were on a train running back and forth between the Ely Sta-tion and Hunnewell. Both militia and citizens were warned, “Look out of Porter”. The federals could not keep up with Porter. Each time they pursued him in one direction, he would show up in another. After a skirmish in Santa Fe, fellow sol-

Recently the Paris Lions Club members were honored by hearing Britton Francis discuss his experi-ences he gained while attending Boys State, in June.

Francis described daily schedules and activities that were very fast pace and structured. He was able to attend the event that is spon-sored by the American Legion of Paris with funds provided by Paris Lions Club.

Britton is the son of Tony and Bar-bara Francis of rural Paris. Tony also attended Boys State when he was a junior in high school.

Mrs. Barbara Mason and the FBLA team were also guests and covered events and activities they experienced at the National Con-ference for FBLA. Paris team was able to attend by winning the state contest.

During regular business, Paris Lions discussed the refurbishing of the “Welcome to Paris” signs that are located on the edge of Paris on all three sites. It was tabled until

nance and have it ready to be read at the September regular board meet-ing.

The board members scheduled the Public Hearing to set the Tax Levy for Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m.

The bills and financial reports for the month of August were approved to be paid and approved respective-ly both unanimously.

dier Joseph A. Mudd described Por-ter’s bearing in battle, his perfect poise, his quick grasp of situations, his close attention to details and his reckless exposure of himself. Mudd said to Porter, “Colonel, I don’t be-lieve you know what fear is.” Por-ter replied, “Fear? Why I’m the big-gest coward in the world. I never go under fire that I don’t suffer the tortures of the damned. If I didn’t believe it my duty to be here, I’d go home today.” Porter’s success in the region led President Lincoln to telegraph General McNeil, warning him to put an end to the rebellion in Northeast Missouri, or he would be replaced with someone who could.

Monroe County Health Department warns its

residents about obesity Monroe County Health Depart-

ment Administrator Paula Delaney notes, “Did you know about the ep-idemic that is sweeping our county, our state, and our entire country? It attacks young, old, male, female, white, black, and all socioeconom-ic levels. It costs millions of dol-lars to treat and left untreated, can lead to chronic disease, debility, and death. This dreaded disease is OBESITY and it can be prevented. Missouri is one of the ‘FATTEST’ states in the nation. It is a fact that

nearly seven out of 10 Missourians will die each year from cardiovas-cular disease, diabetes, and cancer. All of these conditions are made even more deadly when the patient is obese.

Your health department can help you learn how to fight obesity and decrease your chances of develop-ing serious chronic diseases. For more information, please call the Monroe County Health Depart-ment at 660/327-4653.

Farm Lease program to be held through Extension

Farm leases are a very hot topic right now with the drought of 2012 and cash rental values being where they are and landlords wanting to make certain they’re getting what they believe they should be get-ting. A Farm Lease Program to be held on Thursday evening, Aug. 3 0, will discuss this and many other lease concerns. The program will run from 6 to 9 p.m. and be held at the Moberly Area Community College Multi Media Building in Moberly which is located at 101 College Avenue. There is a $20 per person charge which includes one set of materials and refreshments and pre-registration is required by Aug 27.

Topics presented at this meet-ing will include how can a current lease be terminated, how much rent should I receive for my farm, which items to agree on in a lease, livestock and crop share arrange-ments – keeping them fair for both sides, and recreational (hunting) leases – what you should be aware of. The program is being presented by University of Missouri Exten-

sion Specialists that have worked in this area for many years. They will include

Joe Koenen, Mary Sobba, Darla Campbell and Whitney Wiegel, all Agricultural Business Specialists.

This program is being offered in several locations via interactive 2-way television or ITV so you can see and ask questions of any and all of the presenters and have to travel fewer miles.

Mt. Airy Baptist Church Pastor Robt. Cavanaugh

On Sunday, Aug. 19, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered and welcomed guest minister, Peggy Kirkpatrick. Jim McMor-ris gave the call to worship following the prelude by Jane Akers, organist. The opening hymn was, “The Way of the Cross Leads Home”. An open-ing prayer and “Gloria Patri” followed.

Happy birthday was sung to: Phil Blakemore, Pete Olney, Katie Fla-herty, Johnny Ragsdale, Berna Kotsenburg, Barbara Jarman, Andrea Cal-lison and Caven John Kinnaman. Happy anniversary wishes were for: Pete and Margaret Olney (68 years), Rodney and Brenda Coffman (33 years) and Jeff and Dianne VanPraag (36 years). Prayer concerns were voiced for: Margie Lute, Barbara Ensor and Mark Hudson. Sympathy was extended to the families of Isabelle Freeman and Louise Holt. Jim McMorris led the congregation in prayer and lifted up those mentioned; unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. The prayer hymn, “Open My Eyes That I May See”, was sung.

“This Do In Remembrance of Me” was the communion hymn sung as the elders and deacons went forward to serve. Following sharing of communion and collection of offerings; Jim McMorris gave an offertory prayer; the doxology followed.

Jim shared how “Jesus Loves the Little Children” during children’s mo-ments and how He wants all of us to be like little children, being nice and obedient. Peggy Kirkpatrick then offered Part Two of her message, “Making THE BLESSING Work through Faith and Love”. She refer-enced several passages of scripture from Galatians 3:13-14, Proverbs 4:20-22 and 18:21, Matthew 12:34 and Romans 4:16-18.

The closing hymn, “Softly and Tenderly, Jesus Is Calling”, was sung. The benediction and the “Spirit Song” closed morning worship.

Immediately following services, Gerald Roberts called the monthly Board meeting to order. Minutes of the July Board meeting and of the annual meeting were approved as read by Mary McMorris, Secretary. Fi-nancial reports presented by Jane Akers were also approved. The annual church fish fry is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 12. Other unfinished business and projects/items which have been completed were discussed. Plans for the annual Harvest Dinner to be held on Sunday, Oct. 7, were also discussed. The meeting was adjourned on motion by Pete Olney.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Phil Blakemore shared two readings, “A Kinder World” and “My Eyesight is Perfect”. Jim Mc-Morris led the group in prayer and then read “Incomparable Christ”.

The Sunday, Aug. 19 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Sharon Sweitzer playing piano and Earl Sweitzer on the harmonica playing “Farther Along” and they also played “Whispering Hope” as Donnie Willingham played guitar.

Debbie Carey then led in song to “His Way With Thee”; “The Light of the World Is Jesus”; “Faith is the Victory” and “Blest Be the Tie” and Debbie then sang “Come Thou Fount”.

Shanda Galloway led the Responsive Call to Worship and the Confes-sion of Sin.

Prayer was held for Maurine Rahmeyer; Karen Bryson; Betty Johns; Debbie’s son; James A. Booth; the Grimmetts; Shonda’s joy for fam-ily and God is Good; all said the Lord’s Prayer in unison.The message “What if Peace” was based on scripture from Psalms 34 as we allow so many things to steer our peace. Seek peace and pursue it. Some of us have never had peace - anger, death and betrayal can block peace - some-times life is not fair. Search for CHRISTmas peace everyday. Peace with God, others and yourself. What would you give up for it? Worry, guilt, shame, regret, fears? Surrender all to God’s power! Peace is attainable thru God - pursue what He tells us. Not the ways of the world. Focus on His promises and His love... Go In Peace...

Sharon played “Take My Life” as Curt Jackson led the offertory and all sang the “Doxology”. Sharon, Earl and Donnie then played “I’ll Fly Away”.

The Benediction prayer was read from Jude 24 and Sharon played “He Keeps Me Singing” as all retired in fellowship.

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

The Paris Coyotes football team were special guests for the Sunday morning church service following donuts and drinks in the fellowship hall. Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon, “Going All Out” (scripture text 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and Hebrews 12:1-3), compared how all athletes are just like Christians. You must be prepared at all times either by playing against another team or Satan. Athletes become good players when they have worked hard just like Christians who read, read and read the Bible to help in their daily lives. Jesus is the Christian’s quarterback. When you have Jesus Christ as your savior, you cannot be pushed around -- you must stand firm. All athletes want to win -- just like Christians will win with Jesus on their side. He finished the race for us!!

Serving at the Lord’s Table were Bob Conley, Wayne Conley, Charles Thomas, Dan Sharp, Don Wilkerson and Jim Hurst. Door greeters for the morning were Wayne & Martha Conley.

Dawn Peak started her children’s sermon by asking them if they knew what SPECTACULAR meant. She told the children that the Paris Coy-otes football team may become “spectacular” and be asked to play for the MU Tigers!! They are again like Christians -- must take care of their bodies, exercise and take care of each other. Just like God cares about each and everyone of us. Ashley (Sam) Kendrick assisted by Karen Con-ley taught the children’s ministry.

Prayer requests were for Jo Reynolds’ father, Jo Reynolds’ co-worker’s husband, Luke Olivas, James A. Booth, Josh Dye family, Kim Black family, Paris school district’s students as well as all students, Madeline St. Clair, Laura Garner, Vicki Brown, Becca and Madison Spires’ grand-father and Keith Woodhurst. Praises were for Charlie and Joyce Horst-meier’s friend, Larry, who is now cancer free, Tom East announced that he has been cured of vertigo and the military will be signing him back on and Anna Spires is hoping to go home this week from the nursing home.

The bluegrass band ‘Southern Reign’ played at the church this week so there was no preaching message but they brought a great message by song.

The Perry Christian Church worship hour of Sunday, Aug. 19 began with Arlen Provancha singing “Let’s Just Praise the Lord”. Pastor David Todd led the welcome and Call to Worship.

“What Faith Can Do” was sung in praise.“Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me” was the prayer hymn. Our prayers went

out to Harlan Murray, Gene Cooper, Kenny Leake, Edith Webber, Gene Schlueter, Lois Friday and Laura Garner. The response was “Let The Words of My Mouth”.

Pastor Todd gave the invitation for all to join in Holy Communion. “Let Us Break Bread Together” was sung. Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow served as elders. Anthony Elam, Carol Norman, Kennedy Jaspering and Wyatt Lewellen were deacons.

Cheri accompanied her father as Arlen sang”You Are My All In All”.Jeanne Gay told the children “in passing through life to show and share

all the good feelings they have in knowing Jesus”. Tanner’s good feel-ings include his trampoline.

1 Kings 2:10-12, 3:3-14 was read by Lou Anne Hetrick for the pastor’s sermon on “Learning to Understand What You Have”. Praise God and recognize the greater promise of love and peace that God bestows on us, for the best is yet to come.

The invitation hymn “Trust and Obey” was sung. Brittany Schutte gave her good confession and we are happy to have her as a member of our church family. We dismissed with singing “Nothing but the Blood”.

A correction to last week’s notes: The Dye family did not have three new grandchildren, it was the family of Mary Mallory, our friend in Paris is the one to be congratulated.

Grace United Methodist, Madison, held worship service, Sunday, Aug. 19.

Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry gave the message, “Learn the Will of God,” based on Ephesians 5:15-20. She also gave the Children’s Little Sermon, “Do the Right Thing.”

The Paris First Christian Church held a worship service on Sunday, Aug. 19, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, “Like a Fish in a Fishbowl,” on how we can live our lives in freedom be-cause our sins are forgiven through Jesus Christ, was based on Galatians 5:1-6.

The monthly Bible memory verse is: For I am not ashamed of the gos-pel; it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who has faith. Ro-mans 1:16 (NRSV). The thought for the week from Michel De Mon-taigne is: “Rejoice in the things that are present; all else is beyond thee.”

Beginning the service Kathy Miller provided instrumental praises and Keith Hillard gave the invocation. The church members were saddened by the news of the death of Isabelle Freeman.

In the absence of Wesley Hammond who was participating in a memo-rial service elsewhere, Reverend Jimmy Stewart led the service. His ser-mon was from Mark 10:13-18, “The Little Children and Jesus”. Rever-end Stewart related memories that he had as a child raised in the church, of a picture of Jesus or a picture of Jesus holding children. Our church ministry should always include children, to feed them and teach them, but especially to love them and take care of their health needs. Parents who are abusive do not know about God and do not understand God’s law about abortion. Good Christian parenting should include teaching about the Bible and how to pray and about God’s love for us. We should also set a good example. Our children are a gift from God.

Lindsey Mitchell gave the children’s sermon on prayer. She asked, “What is prayer? Whom do we talk to when we pray, and what do we pray about?” Answers were “Sick people, food, animals and family”. Lindsey gave them a paper hand with fingers. On each finger they could pray for Mom, Dad, brother, sister and friends. We can also pray when we take a test at school, when our feelings are hurt or when we hurt someone else’s feelings. Philippians 4:6 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Steve and Brenda Ensor provided special music. Michael Hammond prayed a piano solo, “What a Friend we Have in Jesus”, for the personal worship moment.

Ps. 95:2-3 says “let us come into his presence with Thanksgiving, let us make a joyful noise to him with songs.”

Blessings from FaithWalk Ministries where “Jesus Is Lord” and where The Honorable Bishop H.G. Long is Pastor, Founder, President and C.E.O. Morning worship services opened at 10:30 a.m., with the choir singing “How excellent” followed by opening prayer lead by Brother John FonVille. Bro Michael Thompson read Phillipians 4:8-12 as the opening scripture. FaithWalk Choir sang “Chasing after You” followed by seed planting (Offering) conducted by Minister Kelly Ballenger where the Vision and Mission statements were read together. Choir rendered an-other selection “Living Word”. The majestic word of God coming from Ps.73:1,2,11,17,25,and 28 titled “A Place To Hear God Speak”

Bishop Long spoke at an Appreciation Service in Honor of Pastor Charles Stephenson and Wife of Power house Minstries, in Marshall, with the Theme “In Possession Of Greatness.”

Everyone is welcomed to come and worship with us Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Tuesdays and Thursday Evenings

‘Monroe County Appeal’

Over time, you might find that the IRA investment choices that made sense when you opened the account no longer work for you. You may want to move to a different type of investment, choose an investment that better fits your current needs and circumstances, or move your account to another fund or financial institution to keep more of your retirement and financial assets together.

The process of moving funds between IRAs is known as a transfer. Generally, a transfer applies to IRAs of the same type: moving funds from an existing Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, or an existing Tra-ditional IRA to another Traditional IRA. You can also transfer funds from a SEP IRA to a Traditional IRA or a SIMPLE IRA to a Tradi-tional IRA, as long as you have had the SIMPLE IRA for at least two years. (A transfer from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is known a conversion, and different rules apply.)

The process is simple. First, choose the account you want to transfer IRA funds to. It may be an IRA that you already have, or it may be a new one. Then, tell the new company that you will be adding funds from an existing IRA, and give them the account details. The two companies will handle the transfer for you.

A transfer is not considered to be a withdrawal for tax purposes, so there will be no reporting to the IRS and no funds withheld.

Some people are nervous about setting up a retirement account be-cause they are afraid that they will make the wrong investment choic-es. The transfer privilege gives you peace of mind; if your investment needs change, you can move your IRA with ease.

would vote for it in its current state when he returns to Washington. He noted that the House version cuts around $30 billion from the food stamp program, which Graves said he is in support of.

“The Farm Bill helps maintain a safe and affordable food supply,” said Graves. “I want to send the food stamp program to the state level to let them administer the program.”

In closing Congressman Graves discussed farm insurance and took questions.

pointed out that voting by elec-tronic means was also not against any by-law.

So with the Staggs not voting at this time, nominees were taken from the floor. Both Shively and Ron Staggs were nominated for chairman. After votes were tallied there was a 3-3 tie. Shively in-formed the group that the next step was a secret ballot, which also re-mained 3-3. Staggs and Shively has a mild disagreement over whether the chairman had a vote and if not then he won 3-2. Shively informed Staggs that Robert’s Rules of order allows for the vote of the Interim Chairman.

With the vote deadlocked, Shive-ly made a motion to suspend the rules and allow the agenda to be changed. After a second of the mo-tion it was approved 5-1.

With the rules suspended, and the Staggs protesting the vote, Shively made a motion to seat Cyril and Sharon Penner in their respective township positions. The Penners were approved unanimously. Also added to townships were John Mc-Clellan in Monroe Township and Sam Smith in Indian Creek Town-ship.

After these individuals were ap-proved the agenda returned to

electing a chairman. Again Staggs and Shively were nominated but this time, with the Staggs again not allowed to vote by electronic means, Shively was elected chair-man with a 5-4 vote. Ron Staggs immediately protested the vote, as did a couple of meeting officials. Shively made a motion to accept what had been accomplished so far. After a second, the officials voted 8-0 in agreement. ‘We will

Ashley Michelle Decker and Brian Wesley Dodge exchanged wedding vows on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the home of Brad and Joy Dodge. The setting for the ceremony was the front yard of the home that was built by Brian’s great grandparents in 1934. The groom is the 4th generation of the Dodge family to have lived in this house.

The bride is the daughter of Conny Decker of Columbia, and Steve Decker, of Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Brian is the son of Brad and Joy Dodge, of Perry. Grand-parents of the groom are Dorothy Hufty and the late Bill Hufty, of Paris and Joe Wayne and Frances Dodge, of Paris.

Serving as flower girl for her mother was Caylee Elizabeth. Ring bearer for the wedding as Hayden Deck, nephew of the bride. Attending the bride as Maid of Honor was her best friend, Chelsea Russell, of Columbia.

Best man was Jason Dodge, brother of the groom, of Paris.

Ashley wore the beautiful wed-ding dress that was worn by Joy Dodge at her wedding 30 years ago. The dress was long, flowy sat-in with a lace top and lace sleeves with rhinestones and pearls.

A reception was held at the Knights of Columbus in Mexico. Attending the guest book was Katie Dodge, sister-in-law of the groom, of Paris. As guests arrived, candy was passed to them by Kenzie Dodge and Hadley Dodge, nieces of the groom. Helping with the wedding and serving at the cake table were Robin Martin, Lucia Hamill and Missy Hoer, friends of the groom’s family.

For their honeymoon, the couple took a cruise. The newlyweds are making their home outside of Paris. Ashley is employed at Sharon’s Day Care. Brian is employed by DK Johnson Excavating and owns Dodge Trenching.

Both coaches and players alike were disappointed when the Paris R-II Coyote season ended last sea-son without a run into the Missouri playoff system.

This season second year head coach Gary Crusha and his players are looking to correct that and ad-vance further in the new Missouri playoff system (see related article in this section).

This season the Coyotes return skilled players at important posi-tions. Moving from running back to quarterback is senior Steven Hayhurst who will generate a large portion of the Coyote offense with both his arm and his legs as he di-rects the Coyote attack.

According to Coach Crusha, the Coyotes will run more of a spread offense this season rather than the Power I used last season.

Running behind Hayhurst in the formation will be fullback Zac Baladenski, who is returning from a knee injury that sidelined him last season. Baladenski’s size and speed coupled with returning re-ceivers Sophomore Wide Receiver Slater Stone and Senior Tight End

Trae Hammond will help the Coy-otes run their new spread offense. Stone has remarkable hands and could be one of Hayhurst’s favorite downfield targets as he runs both excellent short routes but then can turn on the jets and burn defenders deep also. Hammond is a double threat as he is a solid tight end with good hands who is also a great blocker to help open holes for his quarterback and running backs. Joining these three on offense will be Seniors Justin Wolfe and new-comer Zane Vaughn who both will fit into the new offense with Wolfe filling both running back and re-ceiver spots while Vaughn will give the Coyotes multi receiver weapons. Returning linemen Ju-nior Cole Berrey and Sophomore August Hayhurst anchor the offen-sive line along with Senior John DeOrnellis.

On the defensive side of the ball the Coyotes return starters Hay-hurst, Stone, Hammond, DeOrnel-lis and Baladenski. Joining these talented starters will be junior varsity standouts Brody Lehen-bauer, Corey Court, Justin Wolfe

and Branden Hancock. A new-comer to the defensive line will be Junior Alan Haynes who will force defenders to move him out of the way to the quarterback.

Coach Crusha noted that the team’s strength on defense would be their overall athleticism and their aggressiveness.

The blue and white Coyotes look to better last year’s 4-6 record with returning lettermen starter Steven Hayhurst (all Conference, All District), starter Trae Ham-mond, starter Slater Stone, starter Zac Baladenski, starter Cole Ber-ry, starter August Hayhurst, John DeOrnellis, Corey Court, Brody Lehenbauer, Chance Wheelan and Shawn Basnett.

Lost to graduation were All Con-ference Alex Thomas, All Confer-ence and All District Jared Garnett, All Conference Michael Batsell,

All Conference Paul Turner, All Conference Chris Dierhoff, Brent Busby, Jordan Whelan, Austin Tawney and Jesse Mitchell.

“Having a winning record and making the state playoffs are two of our goals this season,” said Coyote Coach Gary Crusha. “We will be in the top three or four of our conference this season with Westran, Salisbury and Marceline up there as well.”

Coach Crusha has a simple coaching philosophy, “we need to play hard, have fun, get better ev-eryday, don’t beat ourselves and always play as a team.”

Coach Crusha is ably assisted on the sidelines by Coach Mike Fible and newcomer to varsity football but not to football itself Coach Quentin Forrest.

2012 Sports Preview

Seniors are the backbone of any team2012 area seniors by respective team

Senior leadership is important to any team but most importantly in can have a big effect on high athletics. Seniors can leave their imprint upon the local sports landscape while they are in high school. They can also lead their teams not only through their own

skills but by the example that they set and the work ethic that they have. These intangibles are important to the chemistry and attitude of any team whether it be football, softball, baseball or golf.

Senior leadership can carry a team that is not as athletic or tal-ented as another team to a victo-ry. A lack of the same leadership can send a more talented team on to defeat. We are lucky in the local area to have a wealth of talented seniors that carry on their team’s tradi-tions. These include:

Success this season for the 2012 Paris R-II Lady Coyotes seems to be a simple one for 11th year coach Rick Reading, “everybody needs to contribute for us to be success-ful. Mistakes at the wrong time hurt us last year. This year we have to erase those problems.”

Coach Reading leads his team on to the field ably assisted by Coach Sara Watson.

This year’s Lady Coyotes look to better their 9-14 record from the past season with returning let-ter winners All Conference and All District player Kayla Langerud, All Conference and All District Payton Gruber, Jill Nobis, Sirena Bell and Haley Fredrick.

Starters lost to graduation were first baseman Heather DeOrnellis and second baseman Jaelyn Berg-man.

The 2012 blue and white Lady Coyotes team strengths include – defense, strong pitcher/catcher combo, speed and the ability to get on base.

“Our team goals include wining the conference as we did in 2010,” said Coach reading. “We had our chances last year and just couldn’t come up with big wins when it counted.”

Coach Reading considers Paris, Salisbury, Westran and Marceline all having chances to capture that conference title.

Coach Reading has had the same coaching philosophy for years – play hard, never quit, have a good attitude, demand respect and lead by example.

“This could be a great year,” said Coach Reading. “We have all the combinations for that to occur. Girls must decide how far they want to go.

Paris started the season hosting South Shelby on Wednesday, Aug. 22 and ends it at Marion County on Tuesday, Oct. 2. The Lady Coy-otes will host South Shelby, Van-Far, North Shelby, Knox County, Slater, Fayette, and Marceline. The

Lady Coyotes will visit Canton, Salisbury, Monroe City, Madison, Huntsville, Sturgeon and Philadel-

phia. The Lady Coyotes will partici-

pate in the Knox County and North

Shelby Tournaments and will host the annual Paris Tournament.

New district football plan includes eight team district and point plan

At its April Board Meeting, the Missouri State High School Ac-tivities Association Board of Di-rectors unanimously voted for a new football playoff format for the 2012 football season.

The new format will create a nine-game regular season with schools scheduling all nine of these games. The 10th week will be the beginning of the District Champi-onships. Teams will be placed into districts comprised of eight teams and seeded by a point system over the nine-game regular season. The third game of the championship se-ries would be the district champi-onship game, eight district cham-pions and eight district runner-ups being crowned.

The district champions would then advance to the quarterfinals of the state series. There shall be two districts in 8-Man, four districts in Class 6, and eight districts each in Classes 1-5. Schools are grouped in districts based on geographical location. Classes 1-4 and Class 6 will consist of eight teams. Class 5 and 8-man will be based on the number of teams in the region and

the higher-seeded teams (1-2) will get byes in the district tournament if necessary.

This format would more closely resemble the district champion-ships in all of our other team sports. If the current start date is kept in place, the playoff games will still follow the Wednesday-Monday-Saturday format.

Another unique nuance to this format is the financial split of the Week 10 game. Because each school will only have the ability to schedule games one through nine, its schedule may be five home and four away games or four home and five away games. In Week 10 the higher seed will host the game (#1 seed would host #8 seed, #2 seed would host #7 seed, etc.). To make Week 10 financially equitable to all schools, the gate receipts (mi-nus expenses) will be split 60/40, with the host team receiving 60% of the gate and the visiting team receiving 40% of the gate.

The classification process will remain the same, with the largest 32 schools based on enrollment

figures will be in Class 6. Class 1 will consist of the smallest 64 schools, the next 64 schools will make up Class 2, the next 64 will

make up Class 3 and the next 64 will make up Class 4. The remain-ing schools will comprise Class 5, which were 51 during the 2010

It dies not seem possible that the Paris Lady Coyote Golf Team can improve on last year’s 12-1 match play record but they will definitely try. The team also finished second in the Paris tournament, third in the Westran tournament and sec-ond in the Salisbury tournament. The team broke three records last year for low team score: 185, which was seven strokes better than the record they set the year before.

Returning letter winners include Meaghan Dye, Shelby DeTienne and Kaidy Heitmeyer.

“We have 14 girls playing of which four are seniors that have played for four years and another senior has played for two years,” said 7th year Head Coach Jeremy Skinner. “We have a good group of first year players that are going to be the strength for the future.”

Team goals are easy ones – the Lady Coyotes want to defend their conference title and compete for a district title and they want to send girls to state.

“We have a good chance of re-peating as conference champs with the girls we have returning,” said Coach Skinner.

Coach Skinner always wants to introduce the game of golf to as many students as possible because it is a great game that a lot of kids never get exposed to when they are young.

“I want to teach the students how to play the game so they can en-joy it the rest of their lives.” Said Coach Skinner.

The Lady Coyotes have trophy winners as Shelby DeTienne was named All Conference; Kaidy Heitmeyer was All Conference

2010; Heitmeyer was also All Dis-itrct in both 12010 and 2011; and Shelby DeTienne won All District honors in 2011.

The 2012 Paris Lady Coyotes Golf Team will begin play on Wednesday. Aug. 22 hosting Har-risburg and will also host the Paris

Tournament, Westran, Glasgow, LaPlata and Salisbury. On the road the Lady Coyotes will face Westran, Salisbury, Harrisburg and play in the Salisbury and Westran Tournaments.

Districts are Sept. 27; Sectionals Oct. 3-5; and State Golf Oct. 15-18.

Head Coach Bryant Jones has double duty in this his second sea-son as he is both the softball and baseball head coach.

The purple and gold Madison C-3 Panthers take to the fall sea-son field with returning lettermen Blake Hultz, All Conference and All District player Blake Brown, Blaine Love, Tyler Bennett and Ja-cob Wandrey.

Last year’s Panthers finished the season 9-10 (3-3 in C.A.C. Confer-ence play) and won a district game versus Silex before falling to Cairo in the district semi game.

Coach Jones’ players to watch in-clude pitcher and shortstop Blake Brown; infielder and centerfielder Blake Hultz; shortstop and pitch-er Tyler Bennett; catcher Blaine Love; and first baseman and third baseman Jacob Wandrey.

“This season we have three pitch-ers who can give us quality innings on the mound,” said Coach Jones. “Bradley Pierce and Blaine Love are just starting to develop and we hope they can supplement our ro-tation led by Blake Brown, Tyler Bennett and Jacob Wandrey.”

Coach Jones noted that last fall Madison went 6-6 (.500 overall) and was 3-3 in the C.A.C.

“If we could finish this fall with that same success considering what we graduated and our inexpe-rience we would be very excited,” said Coach Jones.

The Panthers lost to graduation All District and Conference Ja-cob Youse; All Conference Codey Hendren; All Conference and All District Tylor Milner, Shawn Boil-lot, Clay Warren and Gavyn Hint-en.

Coach Jones expects Cairo, New Franklin and Sturgeon to be the class of the conference and com-pete for the title with Sturgeon his pick to wimn it all coming off a fi-nal four finish.

Coach Jones has a simple coach-ing philosophy, “it is simple, if you want to be competitive you have to pitch and play good defense. If you can do those things consistently you’ll have a consistent chance to win.”

Madison begins play at Cairo on Thursday, Aug. 23 and visits New Franklin, Glasgow, Higbee

and Keytesville, The Panthers host Brunswick, Atlanta, Sturgeon, Cai-ro, and Harrisburg. The Panthers will host the Madison Hardball

Tournament. There is no district play as base-

ball is a spring sport.

It is the year of the Madison Lady Panther. The purple and gold Lady Panthers will take to the field with an experienced team including re-turning letter winners All Confer-ence Angela Purdy, Jessica Stoebe, Samantha LeGrand, Allie Dinkin, Krystal Sanders, Jami Westfaul, Bridget Hancock, Katie Youse and Lindsey Hendren.

Coach Jones lists Pitcher An-gela Purdy, first baseman Krystal Sanders, left fielder Jami Westfaul, catcher Allie Dunkin, center fielder Jessica Stoebe and third baseman Samantha LeGrand as the Lady Panthers to put on the watch list.

Lost to graduation were All CAC Taylor Salmons and Staci Harlow.

“We have six seniors and seven returning starters that should give us plenty of experience this sea-son,” said Coach Jones. “Angela Purdy, Krystal Sanders, Hannah

Grimsley, Jami Westfaul, Bridg-et Hancock and Jessica Stoebe should provide plenty of leader-ship as seniors.”

“Last year Coach Jones ex-plained they only managed one conference win but they really like to shake things up n the C.A.C and improve that win total.

Coach Jones thinks the C.A.C. conference is pretty solid. New Franklin is always tough, he noted, and he predicts Cairo and Sturgeon to be solid again this year.

“Brunswick will be right there is they get on a run,” said Coach Jones. “We have a lot of work to do to get into the top tier of teams.”

As for his softball coaching phi-losophy, it is like his baseball one, “your pitcher has to throw strikes and control the game. If Angela Purdy can maintain control of the game and we can play solid

defense behind her we’ll have a chance to win.”

Madison begins play at Cairo on Thursday, Aug. 23 and visits New Franklin, Glasgow, Higbee and Keytesville, The Lady Panthers

host Brunswick, Westran, Atlanta, Sturgeon, Cairo, South Shelby, Marion County and Fayette. Madi-son will participate in the Bruns-wick and Paris Tournaments and host the Madison Tournament.
