The heat has definitely set in here in northeast

Missouri and throughout the state. The heat index has been close to or hit the 100

degree mark in the past week and the National Weather Service in St. Louis sees the trend continuing

in July and August.Where can you go if you are with-

out air conditioning or if you have an air malfunction?Local residents, who are without

air conditioning or just need to cool down, may visit local cooling centers to help keep cool during this oppres-

sive heat.In Paris, residents can go to the Se-

nior Citizen’s Center for relief or they may use the library facilities during their operating hours.

“Anyone can come in and get relief from the heat,” said Senior Citizen’s Center Director Tara Sheffield.

“Come beat the heat and stay cool with us - we enjoy the company.”

The Senior Center is open for heat relief from 7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., on any day the center is open (Mon-day through Friday)

“The Community Building is air conditioned and people can use that if necessary,” said Paris City Super-intendent Phillip Shatzer.” All they

have to do is check in with the city office personnel.”

For more information about the city community building call 660-327-4334.

the Madison Community Center, on Main Street, for heat relief. If a resident needs a ride to the center they can contact Carol Larson, at the Community Center, at 660-291-5478 or for information contact City Clerk Crystal Wolfe, at 660-291-5235.

In Monroe City, the Senior Center has been designated a “cooling center.” The center is open from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Mon-day through Friday and 8 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturday. Call 573-735-2131 for addition-al information.

During the summer, heat and humidity can cause serious health problems with little or no warning, and with highs in the 90’s and not much relief at night, Monroe County residents are reminded to take pre-cautions keeping them safe from heat ex-haustion or heat stroke.

Last year, 47 Missourians died from heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and health pro-fessionals from the Monroe County Health Department and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services remind resi-dents that it’s not only the very young and very old who are affected. (See chart 1)

Remember these basic tips from your lo-cal health department to protect you and your family during severe heat and heat emergencies:

· Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.

· Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles.

· Eat light, well-balanced meals at regu-lar intervals.

· Drink plenty of water and limit intake of alcoholic beverages.

Two adventurous Paris ladies had a few days on their hands and decided to go for a bicycle ride. So from June 18-22, Sharon Henderson and Anna Crusha, both of Paris joined 304 other riders and took part in the 2012 Katy Trail Ride from St. Charles to Clinton, a 230 mile journey.

The Katy Trail is the nation’s longest de-veloped and most popular rail trail.

“I love riding and I have been riding bicycles since I was five,” said Sharon Henderson on why she rode the Katy Trail Ride, her second time. “When I was little I couldn’t fit on the seat of my bicycle and

reach the pedals so I rode standing up.”“I was training for my first half marathon

and used biking to help with my running,” said Anna Crusha on how she started rid-ing. “I went for a bike ride and loved it and then went with Sharon on rides and really liked it.”

To prepare for the 230-mile jaunt the two women basically did a cross training schedule with some running and fitness training thrown in to their schedule.

To prepare for a ride of any length Hen-derson was quick to note that,” you have to prepare your posterior region.” “Making

sure your seat is comfortable is one of the important things. Wearing riding shorts helps with its padding.”

Superintendent Nancy Henke chaired her last meeting as Paris R-II Superintendent on Friday, June 29. Effective July 1, for-mer elementary principal Chris Johnson took over the reins of the school district.

Superintendent Henke started with the Paris R-II District on July 1, 2008, when she was hired to replace former superin-tendent Jim Masters who resigned to take a position in Monroe City. She was previ-ously superintendent at Northeast Vernon County and Miller County prior to Paris.

Superintendent Henke loved working with children and education was her pas-sion. She immersed herself into the com-munity including serving a term as Rotary President.

Superintendent Henke and her husband Jim have four children - one girl and three boys and four grandchildren. Her hobbies, which she will have plenty of time for

now, include reading, motorcycle riding (Harley Davidson) and her favorite hobby is spending time with her grandchildren.

Nancy and Jim have moved to the lake, where she will enjoy working on her new house.

During Superintendent Henke’s tenure her proudest moments include the creation of the A+ Program and the passage of two bond issues by wide voter margins.

“I have enjoyed my time here in Paris,” said retired Superintendent Henke.

The Paris R-II Board of Education held their regular monthly meeting on Wednes-day, June 20, at 7 p.m., in the district boardroom.

President Libby Williams called the meeting to order at precisely 7 p.m.

2012-13 Preliminary Budget - Superin-tendent Nancy Henke presented her pro-posed budget to the board members. She notes the budget shows $141,691 in red but not alarming because $70,000 is from funds 3 and 4.

”So we are not out of money we are actu-ally spending,” said Superintendent Hen-ke. “I am not concerned about not having a balanced budget this year. I think we will be in pretty good shape. While this year’s budget is close it is not quite finished yet as we are expecting a payment from the state and still have outstanding bills.”

Superintendent Henke previewed the budget and its associated paperwork.

“Chris helped with the budget this year and it was nice to have someone to bounce ideas off of,” said Superintendent Henke.

The board members approved the pre-liminary budget unanimously.

Special Education Assurance Plan and Local Compliance Plan – “This is to assure the federal government we will follow their rules,” noted Superintendent Henke.

Board members approved both plans.PAT Agreement – It was noted that for

years the district has worked cooperatively with the Monroe County Health Depart-ment to work with the district’s youth.

Superintendent hence noted that the health department is still willing to provide this service.

“The Health Department does a great job bridging the gap between the people served and the school,” said Superinten-dent Henke.

Board members approved the agreement unanimously.

OT Services Agreement - Superintendent Henke recommended approval of services. It was noted that the rate remains the same at $65 an hour. Board members approved the agreement.

Approve Roof Bid – A Watkins represen-tative reviewed the roof bids including sub contractor information. The representative reviewed a broken down bid by sections. He gave the board members an overview of the deducts from the total bid. The rep-resentative made recommendations to the board on which deducts to accept with a final bid of $39,800. It was noted that this is a maintenance item and the roof will need to be redone in 5-10 years. The board members approved the roof bid as presented.

Authorize Diesel Bids - The board mem-bers approved the authorization of diesel fuel. “Do you want to bid the whole year?” said Superintendent Henke. The board members discussed the bids. President Williams asked if the item could be tabled until July or the next meeting. The item was tabled until the July meeting.

social infrastructure. She was one of those young adults that made us laugh, she made us think and she made us question what we believe.

One of the memories I will remember most is Mary running down the hall of the high school yelling – “Mr. Eales, Mr. Eales”… I was thinking did she just ace her ACT or was she going to Nationals in one of her many participatory clubs or organi-zations and wanted to get that information in the newspaper. No, always the consum-mate team player – she had just beaten perennial top scorer Josh Ebbesmeyer by a point in Quiz Bowl and was excited and wanted the world to know.

Her best friend posted on Facebook that there are so many memories she will never forget - Channing Tatum movies; ketchup on ice cream; Bugs Bunny; driving every-where on God’s green earth just for fun; singing too loud; and talking about every-thing... and nothing.

This year has seen God call many home and we will remember each and every one of them for all their donations to our community and to our lives.

It is time to remember not to take those little moments we have with others for granted. Tim McGraw said it best in his song, Live Like You Were Dying. Tim said, “I finally read the Good Book, and I took a good, long, hard look at what I’d do if I could do it all again”…

Don’t wait like Tim did… Do it today… tomorrow - for sure by the weekend… but do it. Spend time with that special someone, call that person that you have been meaning to call but have not, or just take some time to reflect on it all.

People say never put off till tomorrow what you can do today – Right now I say don’t put off till today what you can do now!

Have a great week!

What Are Our Words Doing?Just a Thought

Most of us have had experi-ences in our lives where we have witnessed first hand how words spoken to us ei-

ther lifted us up or broke us down. Most of us have also had times in our lives where the words we have spoken to oth-ers have hurt them and other times have helped them. Our words are so powerful and this can be a good thing and also a bad thing depending on what we decide to do with them.

It breaks my heart when I hear how a child is being bullied and teased. The bul-lying and teasing might have a hint of physical to it but what usually stings the most and affects the child are the words that are spoken to them and about them. This makes me think about the phrase: Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

I’m sure most of us can remember chant-ing this on the playground when we were younger. It was nothing out of the ordi-nary to hear children calling each other names, making fun of each other and put-ting each other down. But how wrong we were by believing that words would never hurt us. A physical wound will heal a lot faster and sometimes won’t even leave a scar but when we are wounded in spirit by mean and hurtful words, it takes a lot longer to heal and almost always leaves a nasty emotional scar.

I can still remember a boy from my childhood who would tease me relent-lessly. He would call me bugs bunny because he said my two front teeth were huge. Okay, so they were a little on the big side but I eventually grew into them. I can laugh about it now but at the time he hurt my feelings and this comment upon numerous other comments that were said to me helped shape my internal way I viewed myself. I allowed negative words that were spoken to me define who I thought I was.

There is so much pressure to look a cer-tain way and act a certain way and our children are daily fighting this battle. They are being made fun of, being told they are not skinny enough, pretty enough, cool enough. They are told they do not wear the right clothes or have the right friends. Some are being told by adults that they will never amount to anything. They are not good enough, smart enough and will never make it in life. WORDS, WORDS, WORDS are hurting them everyday. And not only are our children being affected but we as adults are also being effected by negative words that are spoken to us.

Some of us are still carrying around negative words that were spoken to us ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. We are allow-ing these words to dictate what we can and cannot do even now. Sometimes the very person we need to speak positive, encouraging words to is our self. We need to remember that death and life are in the power of the tongue.

The same way a mean, hurtful word can wound us, a positive, loving word can heal us. We can be used to lift someone up, to inspire and encourage just by giving them a compliment or telling them, “You can do it. I believe in you.” We can not believe for a moment that one positive word won’t make a difference. Most of us can think back to someone in our childhood who had a positive effect on us and more than likely it was because they gave us words full of life not death.

It doesn’t matter what color we are, what

kind of car we drive, how skinny or plump we are, how much money we do or don’t have, what kind of clothes we wear or don’t wear, if our hair is straight or curly, where we work or don’t work, we are all human and we all have feelings that can get hurt and feelings that can be lifted up depending on what type of words are spo-ken and if those words are taken to heart.. We can choose to let our words gives life or we can choose to let our words give death. I choose life.

The past Thursday the U.S. Supreme Court approved the Affordable Care Act in a narrow 5-4 decision. The decision was a split between the so called liberal and conservative justices with Chief Justice Roberts voting with the four liberal justices.

Roberts was a staunch conservative before and since his 2005 appointment as Chief Justice. He had sided with the liberals for the second time in the same week, having votes to reject parts of Arizona’s immigration law on last Monday. Some conserva-tives were not happy with the vote of Judge Roberts and severe criticism was heard in print and by pundits. “Chief Traitor” was heard and “Impeach Roberts” T-shirts were on sale.

The question most asked by supporters and critics of Judge Roberts’ decision was his motivation. Some scholars thought he was being protective of the Court and didn’t want the decision to be regarded as purely political. “It was to preserve the Court’s legitimacy, reputation and status “said others. The decision was also said to be a reac-tion to the perceived exercise of judicial power from “Roe vs. Wade” to “Bush vs. Gore” which has damaged the public perception of the Court.

Looking at the opinion itself, it is something for everyone. The Commerce clause is restricted when it comes to mandating individuals to purchasing insurance under the clause. So Congressional power is limited in this area. The duck he calls a tax can neither sound or walk like a duck but is clearly a penalty intended to compel compli-ance. But calling it a tax gives the no new taxes folks something to quack about this election cycle. The law is wounded but preserved until a new president and/or new Congress take action to change it.

Is Justice Roberts so slick that he can at once give something to both sides and at the same time preserve the reputation of the Court for being fair? Or is he a true con-stitutional conservative and scholar trying to do the right thing’ I am willing to give him the credit and respect for the latter view with the gnawing feeling that the answer may well be both.

On Wednesday, June 20, Ralls County Soil and Water Conserva-tion District (Ralls SWCD) spon-sored an educational trip for Ralls R-II summer school students to Stark Brothers Nursery and to Mar-tin’s Starlight Alpaca Ranch, in ru-ral Center.

Students of grades 4th through 8th grade were exposed to the pro-cess of grafting of seedlings, the labor involved to start and grow new plants, and the marketing of the plants. The tour was guided by Mr. Elmer Kidd, production man-ager for Starke Brothers. The tour was planned by Mrs. Debbie Ep-ley, Outreach Director from Stark Brothers.

Students were able to pet an Al-paca Caria (very young) baby Al-paca. The students were very inter-ested in the animals because they are different from our area farm animals. Josiah, Martin’s grandson from Arizona, informed the group that Alpacas are very different ani-mals due to the area they were nat-urally raised. They originated from the mountain Highlands of Peru.

The tour was possible through the help from area businesses. The transportation cost were possible due to the help from Farmers CO-OP, of New London; Lake Farms,

Ralls County Soil and Water sponsors Alpaca Farm Tour

Liter Fertilizer & Chemicals, LLC, Ralls County Electric Coopera-tive, and Steven Lewton Insurance Agency. Food and drinks were sponsored by Hickman IGA, of

A pond management workshop has been set for Saturday, July 21. The event is sponsored by Natural Resources Conservation Service, Missouri Department of Conser-vation and Soil and Water Conser-vation Districts of Pike and Ralls County.

Part II: “It was a pretty beauti-ful church,” these are the words of Diana Gramling, from Fayette-ville, Ark., about the Perry Pres-byterian Church where she had attended 4-H meetings.

“We brought her here for church for the Piddletown Busy Bee 4-H Club (of Hutchinson),” said her mother Jayne Robinson. “We came here 30 years ago for church.”

The church is still here due to the efforts of Jere Nelson, who decided that this Perry landmark was not going to be torn down and instead took the initiative and has turned the gorgeous structure into an eclectic antique/thrift store combination that people walk through looking at the goods on sale but also gawking at the in-credible architecture, ornate wood carvings and striking stained glass windows.

Nelson has converted some of the 25 odd rooms into separate en-closures with each having a defi-nite theme. There is a chapel for medication, a soon to be finished Thomas Kincade sitting room, a children’s room, and a tea room with Amish jams, jellies and hon-eys.

“I have Watkins,” said Nelson. “I have pictures on tin, we have piñatas, we have something for everyone.”

“There is a lot of open space to display my inventory,” said Nel-son. “We also have 30 vendors on the main floor and a thrift store in the basement.”

“I have everything for pottery and concrete lawn and garden fix-tures,” said Nelson.

There are still rooms that are go-ing to be developed time permit-ting.

The pride of joy of Nelson’s venture though is going to be her gardens. She has grandiose plans to put in butterfly gardens, rose trellises, a soon to come gazebo, and other garden fixtures.

Nelson has tea, water, soda and homemade cakes by J&C Bakery (Jeannie Nobis) on hand for sale.

Nelson bought the building because she hated to see it torn down, loved the area for her gar-dens and wanted to just restore the building.

“I was crowded in my old build-ing and this gave me more room,” said Nelson.

God and Country was the theme for the July 1 worship service at the Perry Christian Church. Caytlyn lit the candles and Arlen Provancha sang “This is My Country” to open. Pastor Todd welcomed guests and gave the Call to Worship. He an-nounced the Bloodmobile will be at the VFW Hall, Thursday, July 5 from 2-6 p.m. The July newsletter is available. “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” was sung in praise. We were reminded to be grateful for the freedoms we enjoy. “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” was the prayer hymn. Goldie Flowers and Lois Friday are both in the hospital and new on our prayer list. We also remembered our mili-tary and all those serving our country. After the pastor’s meditation the communion hymn “In Christ There Is No East or West” was sung. Arlen and Greg Harrison were elders. Nancy Seelow, Tom Hurley, Warren Hetrick and Anthony Elam served as deacons. “God Bless America” was sung by Arlen with the congregation join-ing in. Joyce Coleman gave the children’s moment. Mark 5:21-43 was read by Jesse Todd.Pastor Todd’s sermon “Jesus Heals While on the Way” asked “have you invited the Lord into your house for healing and hope. God sends us to reach out and give someone help and hope. Our biggest obstacle to heal-ing is our own will to surrender to God’s will. The invitation hymn was “The Savior Is Waiting”, closing the service with “Let There Be Peace on Earth”.

Grace United Methodist, Madison, held worship service, Sunday, July 1, Independence Sunday. Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry message was, “The Touch of Jesus”, based on Mark 5: 21-42. She also gave the Children’s Little Sermon, “The Power of Jesus”.Nancy Schofield sang, “Bring Back the Cross,” for the special.Sunday, July 8, is our Fellowship Dinner at 11:45 a.m.Wednesday, July 11, is Administrative Board Meeting at 7 p.m.Monday, July 9, the Adult Bible Study meets at 6:30 p.m.Sunday, July 22, is worship at Wildwood Care Center 1:30 p.m.We are collecting Macaroni and Cheese in July for the family food bas-kets.

Our total dependence on God was celebrated Sunday, along with U.S. independence. Guests Ken Brickman and Heather Brickman and mem-ber Nancy Maupin did a special reading, “Declaration of Dependence.” A crowd of 45 people were present for worship.,

The quarterly evening board meeting will be July 11, at 7 p.m. All el-ders and deacons and deaconesses are urged to be there.

Plans are underway for a Saturday evening-Sunday morning Vacation Bible School Saturday evening, July 21 and Sunday morning July 22. The theme will be Rocky Point Lighthouse; the motto will be “Shine God’s Light!” It will start with supper at 5 p.m. and the program begins at 6 p.m. and goes until 8:30 p.m. Sunday morning will include a wor-ship service for all ages at 10 a.m.

Please contact Brenda Coffman with names of soldiers in the combat zone and/or donations for supplies for our care packages. Our upcom-ing schedule: Worship at 11 a.m. on the first, third and fifth Sundays (July 1, 15 and 29). Sunday School for all ages is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday. Come as you are and share time with God.

“Seven days without prayer makes one weak,” is the old cliche that was our focus the week of July 1. First Thessalonians 5:17 teaches us to “pray without ceasing”. Prayer is our strongest tool, our greatest ally: and yet we find ourselves too busy to pray. James 5: 16 tells us, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayers of a righteous man availeth much.”

This teaches us a dual paradigm: that when we pray for someone, we should expect results...and that when we pray for others, our lives will be touched as well. Jesus taught, “In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have it unto me.” What we do for others, the way we pray for others, has a direct bearing upon the way God treats and honors us. In each of the Apostle Paul’s epistles, he begins be telling his reader how much he loves them, and that he prays for them daily. This is part and parcel of what made his ministry grow. In a world of selfish-ness and “ME” consciousness, people need to see the church reaching out in a “WE” attitude. Our daily prayers will strengthen that attitude... but without prayer, both we and our spirits grow weak.

The Paris Presbyterian Church held worship service Sunday, July 1. This Sunday was Communion Sunday. The ushers were Albert Sinkclear and Ed Bordeleau. Patti Grimmett served as the organist. She led us into worship service with, “A Patriotic Quotation.” The beginning songs of praise were, “Come, Now is the Time to Worship,” “Seek Ye First,” and “Open Our Eyes.” Following we had a Prayer for Our Nation. Next there was a time for passing the peace and greeting one another. Pastor John Grimmett gave the announcements and led the pastoral prayer and The Lord’s Prayer. We had a special guest performance from Roger Wilkins.

Pastor John Grimmett delivered the message, “The Gift of Freedom.” The message was based on scripture reading from John 8:31-35. The closing hymn was, “How Great Thou Art.” The benediction response was, “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies.” Patti Grimmett led us out of wor-ship service with, “Our God, Our Help in Ages Past.”

The Paris Presbyterian Church will hold worship service next Sun-day, July 8. Adult Sunday school begins at 9:30 a.m., Children’s Sun-day School begins at 10 a.m., followed by worship service at 10:45 a.m. Anyone is welcome to attend.

The Sunday, July 1 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “The Battle Hymn” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “God of Our Fathers”, “He Lifted Me”, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “America, the Beautiful”.

Prayer was held for the families of Dr. Peter Ekern; Mary Anglen; and the Dunlaps; Kathy; Mark; Nadine Young’s brother; Becca Rothermich; the Cearleys; the Grimmetts; peoples of flooding in Florida and fires in Colorado and for much needed rain, followed by all saying the Lord’s Prayer and the responsive call to worship based on Psalms 16, 23, and 121.

Pastor John played guitar as he and Patti sang “Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone”.

The message “The Gift of Freedom” was based on scripture from John 8:31-36 Jesus did not come to give us political freedom but to be the kind of person God wants us to be - our hearts are free when we connect with God. Blest are those who walk with God - have eternal life - love one another...a new start - a new life! Make a choice to be reborn. Do not live a life of worry - that is not what God wants us to be. A life of meaning - purpose and joy. Jesus took care of all evil; pain, and suffering, for all of us when He died on the cross. Rest with God! Be happy with all the things God has given you, the freedom to make the world a better place! Help - Love - Serve one another... Remember Jesus died for our freedom...

Paul wrote in Galatians 5:13...to love and serve one another.Communion was served by Martha Hill and Earl Sweitzer with the of-

fertory led by Kaylee Beckham as Patti played “America” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “O God, Our Help in Ages Past” 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 congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered on Sunday, July 1, to worship and to mourn the loss of a member of the church family, Rebecca Hultz. Our sincere sympathy is extended to the family; she will be missed. Reverend Holmes welcomed all in attendance and expressed appreciation for those assisting with the dinner served to the Hultz family. Sally Blakemore served as pianist for services.

The church will host a homemade ice cream and cake supper and politi-cal candidate speaking on Friday, July 6, beginning at 6 p.m. The annual meeting will be held at the church on Sunday evening, July 15, with the carry-in meal shared at 6 p.m.

Happy birthday was sung to: Olivia Crain, Chance McCarty and Brad Callison. The opening hymn, “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies” was sung and was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”.

The children gathered and Reverend Holmes told the Biblical story of Jairus’ daughter who was ill and died, but was brought back to life by Jesus because of Jairus’ faith. The lesson demonstrated the power of a parent’s love for their children and the great things which happen with Jesus in our lives.

The congregation extended sympathy to the families of Mary Anglen, Mary Dicken and Jerry Dunlap. The joys of a good report for Sandy Callison and Lysa Holmes’ progress out of a cast and in a walking boot were shared.

The prayer hymn, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” was sung. Moments of meditation were observed as the final verse was played. Pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. “Bread of Heaven” was the communion hymn sung as lady elders and deacons went forward and offered prayers for the bread and cup. Prayer and the doxology followed the sharing of communion and collection of offerings.

“A Power Greater than Death” was the title of Reverend Holmes’ morn-ing message which referenced scripture from Mark 5:21-43.

The hymn of invitation and dedication, “Battle Hymn of the Republic” was sung. Pastoral prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” closed morn-ing worship.

Following a time of fellowship and refreshments, Diane Wilson shared a story, “Seated Next to an Unpleasant Person”. Jim McMorris opened Bible Study with prayer and led the study of the 18th Chapter of Mat-thew.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend worship; regular services are held at 9:30 a.m. with Bible Study following at 10:30 a.m., each Sunday.

On Sunday, July 1, 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 the large library donation given, next weeks love offering for the Feed a Child Program, Men’s Breakfast this Saturday at 8:30, the Mountianairs will perform at Monroe Manor on July 9 and in Clarence on July 30. We will celebrate the 4th with a barbeque and games in the evening.

This week’s message was titled “Future Glimpses; Why we Evange-lize” and came from Revelation 20:11-15. The Great White Throne Judg-ment will occur without fail. Many attempt to symbolize this event but there is no symbolic language describing the event. This judgment is for those who have spent a lifetime rejecting Christ as Lord and Savior. The mercy and grace of the cross will not apply, only judgment. Everyone on earth needs to know of this coming event so they have the opportunity to miss it. Do your loved ones know what is to come?

Guests and members were greeted by Bob and Karen Conley Sunday morning for the worship service titled, “God’s Man”. Pastor Kenny Sharp read Ezekiel 22: 30 and spoke of how God couldn’t find a man to stand in the gap. He is looking for 1) men of righteousness to stand up for the truth, 2) leaders of repentance and restoration, and 3) men to be bold in their faith. Scripture was also read from Nehemiah 4: 19-20 telling how Nehemiah wanted to build the walls back up and took up defense in the holes of the wall not yet completed to keep evil out and goodness in. That is what God is looking for in His men. He wants “Men of Valor”, bold men in their spirit of God.

Dawn Peak spoke with the children of how they take care of their teeth by cleaning and brushing to keep them healthy. She then shared that to keep their spirit healthy they should read the Bible, pray, and follow God’s Word. Joni Sharp led the children’s ministry.

Prayers were requested for Cassie and Polly Olivas, the family of Mary Anglen, James A. Booth, Tonya Knight, Jo Reynolds’s son, Jim Long, the family of Dr. Pete Ekern, those with no electricity in the Washington-Virginia area, silent prayers, the firefighters and people involved in the Colorado fires, and those serving in the military. Traveling mercies were requested for Angela Johnson and family, and Pat Miller, Craig Miller and daughters. Praises were shared by Tom East that his tests went well and he has had no more symptoms. Also, family members shared that John Baker will be celebrating a birthday this week, that Kenny and Joni Sharp celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary Sunday, that Joe and Karen Miller will be celebrating their 37th wedding anniversary this week and that Danielle Sharp, Jacob, and Kelly Sharp were home visit-ing family for the weekend.

A thank you card was read from Bill and Violet Wilkerson for the cards, prayers, and visits.

The church held the monthly Praise and Worship service on Sunday, July 1, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message was titled “Freedom, Not Self-Indulgence,” and was based on Galatians 5:1, 13-16, 22-23. The congregation enjoyed singing patriotic hymns to go along with the morning message on the nature of Christian freedom.

Upcoming announcements include: Wednesday, July 4 - Office closed; Wednesday, July 11 - Board meeting 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, July 12 - Mon-roe Manor 10:00 a.m.; and Monday, July 16 - CLIP Deadline.

The monthly Bible memory verse is: Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. John 6:47 (NRSV). The thought for the week from Thomas Paine is: “The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Where, some say, is the king of America? I’ll tell you, friend, He reigns above.”

THE SIMPLE IRA PLAN for small businesses

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

The SIMPLE IRA, more properly known as the Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, is a relatively easy way for a small busi-ness to add a retirement plan to their employee benefits.

How The Plan WorksEach eligible employee sets up an IRA and can choose to make de-

ferrals before taxes from their paychecks. Employers can either make a non-elective payment of 2 percent of compensation to everyone who is eligible for the plan, or they can match the employees’ contributions up to 3 percent of their compensation for the year. (All employees must receive the same match, but the employer can change the per-centage from year to year.)

The employer can deduct the contributions from income taxes. The participating employees don’t have to pay taxes on the income that they contribute, either, although they may owe taxes when they take withdrawals. Any investment earnings the employees make will com-pound tax-deferred until withdrawal, too.

Who Is EligibleEligible employees must have received at least $5,000 in either of

the two years before the current year, and are reasonably expected to earn at least $5,000 in the current year. An employer can set less restrictive requirements (for example, allowing all employees to par-ticipate, even those making less than $5,000), but it can’t make more restrictions.

Money in the plan is 100 percent vested; employees can take all of the funds in their account with them when they leave the firm.

This plan is for firms with fewer than 100 employees. If your com-pany grows and hires more than 100 people, the plan can continue for two more years, then it has to be disbanded.

The ease and flexibility of a SIMPLE IRA can help a small busi-ness give employees a valuable benefit to attract and retain talent. The minimal paperwork and ability for the owner(s) to set money aside for their own retirement makes it more appealing. That may give your company the edge it needs to grow.

Judge Rachel Bringer sponsors second annual training for attorneys for children in crisis

that Marion, Ralls, and Monroe Counties comply with a state law requiring children’s attorneys, known as guardians ad litem, to be properly trained. Twenty-three attorneys completed the training and received 3.6 continuing legal education credit hours. Also at-tending the training were several Tenth Circuit Juvenile Officers and

CASA volunteer Cindy Whitaker. The training was held in partner-ship with the United States District Court, which provided free con-tinuing legal education hours to at-torneys in the afternoon under the leadership of United States Dis-trict Judge E. Richard Webber and Chief Judge Catherine D. Perry, of St. Louis.

The Guardian Ad Litem training included a presentation from Dr. Patsy Carter, Director of Children’s Clinical Services, Department of Mental Health, who spoke about the effect of trauma and substance use on the brain development of children and new evidence-based

methods for treatment. The train-ing also included a discussion, led by Judge Rachel Bringer, Judge David Mobley, and Judge John Jackson, about the budget issues facing counties regarding guardian ad litem fees. The Tenth Circuit Juvenile Office presented a dem-onstration of the Circuit’s polycom equipment, which allows children or parents to participate in hearings through electronic media.

“I am grateful that so many at-torneys were willing to volunteer their time to complete the neces-sary training to assist children in crisis,” said Judge Bringer.

Motherhood Daze Club meets June 12

With the recent triple digit tem-peratures, there has been a lot of talk about a road safety hazard MoDOT doesn’t have control of and can’t predict.... pavement blowups. “So far, MoDOT has not experienced a pavement blowup in northeast Missouri during these high temperatures,” explained Mo-DOT Maintenance and Traffic En-gineer Jennifer Hinson. What does a pavement blowup look like?

A “blow up” can be described as a big bump in the road that hap-pens without warning. Ninety degrees and above is usually the magic number for a pavement blowup. Moisture, built up under weakened joints in the roadway, heats and expands creating stress on the joint. The concrete sections, butted up against one another, also expand and create pressure. The joints tighten until they eventually reach capacity, then one or both joints release the pressure in the easiest way possible -- up.

The main problem when this hap-pens is the potential danger to mo-torists. The joint looks like a pile of rocks in the road from a driver’s point of view.

If you see a blowup, please slow down, and call MoDOT, the high-way patrol or the local sheriff’s de-partment. MoDOT will be called to the scene and will temporar-ily repair and release the pressure within 2 hours after being noti-fied. At a later date, crews will be

scheduled to perform a complete concrete replacement at the joint.

Motorists can call MoDOT’s toll-free customer service center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636) to report pavement blow-ups.

Sandwiches, homemade ice cream and desserts were served. Members exchanged birthday gifts.

Next Blood Mobile will be Thurs-day, June 28, with Opal Johnston and Rebecca Hultz for food. Well wishes were extended to member Rebecca Hultz.

Thursday, July 19 will be the next meeting with Mary Fran Shum-mard as hostess and Sally Blake-more will give a book review.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers at Mark Twain Lake has is-sued a burn ban until further notice due to dry conditions in the region to protect visitors and resources. The ban prohibits the use of char-coal or wood fires. Visitors to public recreation areas and camp-grounds may use attended gas grills or stove tops.

It just takes a small spark, which can escape into grass or nearby brush, to rapidly spread due to dry, breezy weather conditions. Veg-etation is dry enough that it will burn even if green.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers at Mark Twain Lake would like to take this opportunity to re-mind everyone that fireworks are prohibited on all project grounds, no matter what the weather condi-tions. If you have questions please contact the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at 573-735-4097 or email Marktwaininfo@usace.army.mil.

My Friend Mary!... This last week something very sad happened.

My friend, Mary Anglen passed away. I met Mary two years ago at 4-H camp.

She was a really nice person. She did fun games with our cabin.

Mary always included everyone. She even did my make-up for the dance on Thursday night.

Mary was also my cadet teacher this year in 4th grade. She helped my class with our math work. One time she even taught the lesson for us.

We really liked her. Mary was fun and always smiling and happy.

I had a very good experience knowing Mary. I’m glad I got to know her at school and at 4-H camp. It is hard to lose someone you care about,

but it is good to know they are in Heaven.

· Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cov-er as much skin as possible.

· Protect your face and head by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Wear sunscreen.

· Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day; use the buddy system when working in extreme heat and take frequent breaks.

· Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as libraries, schools, movie theaters, shopping malls and other community facilities.

· Be aware of medications that may impair the body’s response to heat, including antihistamines, tranquilizers and some medica-tions for heart disease.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) monitors high tempera-tures and humidity across the state to prevent heat-related illness and death. The elderly and the chroni-

cally ill are more vulnerable to the effects of high temperatures. They perspire less and are more likely to have health problems requiring medications that can impair the body’s response to heat. Many pre-scription medications make indi-viduals more sensitive to the heat. Some of these medications include anti-psychotics, major tranquiliz-ers, antihistamines, over-the-coun-ter sleeping pills, antidepressants, heart drugs and some anti-Parkin-sonian agents. Each year many Missourians suffer from heat-re-lated illnesses, with some cases re-sulting in death. During prolonged periods of high temperatures, air conditioning is the best preventive measure.

If you have any questions or con-cerns about a heat related issue, immediately see a medical profes-sional.

people,” said Anna Crusha. “It was incredible listening to their experi-ences and where they had been and what they had done.”

Both Henderson and Crusha were quick to note that they thoroughly enjoyed the company of their fel-low riders and enjoyed the camara-derie.

“It was like being at summer camp,” said Crusha. “Everyone was helpful and it was very social. ”

“Everyone motivated each other,” said both Henderson and Crusha.

The funniest part of the ride ac-cording to both riders was the first evening after retiring to their tents – they suddenly thought it was pour-ing rain but it was 40 foot sprinklers pummeling the tents as someone had forgotten to turn them off.

Both riders explained that there is a ‘SAG” wagon that will help bring people to the campground if they cannot make it the last few miles. The wagon also provides water or sports drinks

Henderson explained that to do something like the Katy Trail ride, a hybrid bicycle is needed.

“You can’t ride a street bicycle on rides such as the Katy Trail, it just doesn’t work well,” said Hender-son.

The surface of the Katy Trail is packed crushed limestone. Moun-tain bicycle and hybrid bicycle tires are best suited for the trail.

Both Henderson and Crusha rode hybrids – one a Schwinn and the other a Trek.

Now that they have conquered the Katy Trail their next goal is the MS 100 – a shorter albeit a faster ride in a shorter timeframe.

Both riders reminded riders of all experience level to make sure they stay hydrated and eat at least snacks during their ride.

Some Katy Trail Ride statistics in-clude: Full Tour Riders – 306; Day Riders – 16; Non Riders – 3; Oldest Rider 84; Youngest Rider 6; Aver-age Age – 54; and number of state represented on the ride – 29.

Henderson and her husband Tal have five children, Jim, Megan, Kara, Tallmadge and Tessa, and 10 grandchildren while Crusha and her husband Gary have four daugh-ters – Maura, Sophia, Gretchen and Victoria.

Both Anna and Sharon are excited about riding again next year and in-cluding others in their ride. Crusha has her eyes set on a triathlon in the future, while Henderson just wants to ride, ride, ride!

NECAC starts new Chillin’ at 60 program

A new program sponsored by the not-for-profit North East Communi-ty Action Corporation (NECAC) is aimed at keeping elderly residents of five counties cool this summer.

It’s called “Chillin’ at 60,” and will be available in Marion, Ralls, Lewis, Monroe and Shelby counties.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, community health and public housing Commu-nity Action Agency. NECAC con-tracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organiza-tions to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. The agency’s Central Administration Of-fices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers oper-ated in each county.

Under the program, income-quali-fying people ages 60 and older can get fans on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, those with a signed and dated letter from a doc-tor on letterhead with a telephone number will qualify to receive an air conditioner.

However, the program is not just a one-time event. NECAC is asking residents, businesses, community groups, churches and other organiza-tions in the five counties to become partners in the project and donate money or fans and air conditioners.

“In the extremely hot conditions of summer, older residents are hesi-tant to ask for help,” said NECAC Monroe County Service Coordinator Lisa Blickhan. “Therefore, NECAC is trying to fill this unspoken need, and we’re asking anyone who can donate to help.”

To qualify for a fan or air condi-tioner, residents of the five counties

must complete an application with photo identification and Social Se-curity card. They also must complete an intake assessment at a NECAC Service Center and finish a NECAC life-skills class.

People who want to contribute fans and air conditioners, or those who want to sign up for the program, should call or stop by one of the fol-lowing NECAC Service Centers:

Monroe County Service Coordina-tor Lisa Blickhan: 314 N. Washing-ton in Paris -- 660-327-4110.

Ralls County Service Coordinator Judy Eaton: 411 Main in New Lon-don -- 573-985-2411.

Shelby County Service Coordina-tor Lisa Blickhan: 204 E. Third in Shelbyville -- 573-633-2210.

Happy-Go-Lucky 4-H Club will not re-schedule the July meeting.

The next meeting will be on Sunday, Aug. 5, at 6 p.m.,

at the GPS School house. All our prayers go out to

Mary’s family - we feel your loss.

Activities to fill weekend at 43rd Old Threshers Reunion

The 43rd Annual Mark Twain Old Thresher’s Reunion opens Thursday, July 12, at the Paris, Fairgrounds under the leadership of President Angie Fields.

Kick off begins with the 2nd Annual Poker Style Tractor Cruise starting at 9 a.m., with Line-up at 8:30 a.m., on Thurs-day, July 12. The Annual Fish Fry which is open to the public will start at 5:30 p.m., at the Old Thresher’s Building. Noodler’s Anonymous will cook the fish. The cost is $8.00 per plate and $4.00 for children six and under. The Noodler’s always do a won-derful job so the Old Threshers Committee encourages every-one to come out and eat with them. You can listen to music by “Johnny Ragsdale and Friends” while you enjoy your food. THE GOOD FISH ARE BACK!

The gates open at noon on Fri-

day and at 7 a.m. on Saturday. The flea market and craft show will open at noon on Friday, July 13. It will be open Saturday so you will have time to find that perfect bargain from a friendly vendor. Cindy Hultz is in charge of the flea market.

There will be a 50/50 Drawing during the show. This is the first time for this and it’s an easy way to win some cool cash.

On Friday evening, you can see the Farm Draft Horse Pull be-ginning at 6 p.m., The Pro Pull will be held at 8 p.m. Both draft pulls will be held in the arena at the south end of the Fairgrounds. There will be an overall first place trophy given to the winner of the Pro Pull. Other winners of the contest will be for Horse-manship, Best Matched Team, Best Dressed Team and Team Traveled Longest Distance. The

demonstration of strength from the horses is a reminder of what life was like before tractors were invented. You will be amazed at how much weight these beauti-ful horses can pull! Spectators should remain quiet until each team’s pull is complete. Go can sound like Whoa to a horse and their hearing is much better than humans.

Friday evening comes to a close with music by a group named “Rumble Strip” Ben VanDyke; son of Leroy Van-Dyke is their leader. This group plays before and after the Mis-souri Waltz Contest at the State Fair and they are very talented. The good old time country mu-sic will begin at 7:30 p.m. in front of the Grandstand.

Bring your appetite to the kick-off of Saturday’s events with a breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. by the Old Threshers Association. At 10 AM on Saturday, the Old Thresher’s Parade will be held in front of the Grandstand. This change was made so that more antique tractors and steam en-gines can participate. Get a But-ton and come out and enjoy the sights from long ago. Be sure to watch for Mary Curtright who is this year’s Parade Marshal. Be sure to give her a wave and a “Thank You.”

There will be a Baby Show starting at 8 AM and an Antique Car and Truck Show after the Parade on the west side of the Fairgrounds.

The Miniature Draft/Pony Pull will take place at noon on Satur-day in the arena.

The Kiddie Pedal Pull also be-

Libby Youse, Administrator.

Salt River Community Care now offers Outpatient Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy along

with Inpatient stays for short or long term.

Authorize sale of surplus property - The board members authorized the sale of surplus property including mats and mowers for sale.

Approve Testing Service – It was noted that the district does use psy-chological testing services but Lisa Youse will do more testing so the district should not use as much will continue Storch Testing Services at $60 an hour. Board members ap-proved continuing the testing ser-vices contract.

Program EvaluationsAttendance - Principal Chris John-

son gave the board members a com-prehensive overview of attendance over the past five years with high school running 94 percent and el-ementary and junior high at 95 per-cent.

“Attendance is not a huge issue in the district,” said new Superinten-dent Chris Johnson. “Overall it is very consistent.”

Superintendent Henke also pre-sented Parents As Teachers – It was noted that nothing new in evalua-tion, it is an excellent program that helps get parents involved in child’s education.

“I can’t say enough about the pro-gram - it is an excellent program that helps us,” said Superintendent Henke.

“We are fortunate to have them,” said President Williams regarding the PAT program and the Monroe County Health Department.

Secondary Principal Matt Smith presented the MO Options as basi-cally a program that targets at risk

all and there is no cost to the pro-gram,” said Superintendent John-son.

“This is a good program to give experience to our administrators,” said Superintendent Henke.

“We are going to be using these standards and this is an opportu-nity to ask questions rather than having to be asked,” said Principal Matt Smith. “It has been a long time since DESE revamped their evalua-tion systems. They are working hard to make this system as objective as they can. No matter who goes into a classroom there is an objective. “

“We have been doing this across the state but it has not been a consis-

students and has necessary require-ments to be met.

“We do have a student that we plan to use this during the upcoming year,” said Principal Smith. “This is a viable way to have a student that is behind get their high school di-ploma.”

It was noted that the program uses the GED as a progression tool and that the student also must take re-quired EOC tests.

“It is a viable pathway to gradua-tion,” said Principal Smith.

Superintendent Report - Next meetings: June 29 (close fiscal year); Monday, July 9, at 4 p.m.; and Wednesday, July 18, at 7 p.m.

Superintendent Henke - read two thank you notes including one from the Agnew Scholarship winner Cody Dawson.

Principals Report Secondary Principal Matt Smith

noted that, “I thought the end of the year activities went really well.”

Principal Smith praised Lisa Youse, David Freitag and Mrs. Hal-ey for their year ending success.

Principal Smith noted that due to a teacher resignation there needs to be a couple changes to the student class schedule.

Elementary Principal Chris John-son/Wendi Wood - discussed objec-tive based grade card for second grade. It was explained that it makes more sense to start grades at third grade and not second.

“Wendi and I agree that this is the way it should be,” said Superinten-dent Johnson. “Parents will know

more than if just given a grade. Typically parents like this - not just a one-page card. It will meet and show second grade curriculum ob-jectives.”

The board members received an overview of an after school grant program in Moberly looking to ex-pand to Madison and Paris. It was noted that their program is success-ful and have been invited to write a grant. Taking Care of Kids is a non-denominational Christian organiza-tion but not required to participate. It’s to support kids who are hav-ing difficulty in the public school program. It was noted that all they want from the district is to use fa-cilities when they need it. There is a grant paid liaison and 4-6 adults for every 20 youth. They will use the facilities, host prevention assem-blies, send flyers home, and parents will have the chance to meet with the liaison when they need to.

“It will give us another resource for those kids that need our help,” said Superintendent Johnson. “It will also be a good resource for par-ents. This is a resource and we a re-ferral agency. It helps with support that the kids don’t get at home. “

In an approved closed session the board members approved Brenda Bragg the part time custodial posi-tion for the summer; approved Paul Turner for a teaching contract; ap-proved Quentin Forrest for an assis-tant football coaching contract; ap-proved Brant Long as the assistant girl’s basketball coach; approved Lisa Youse for A+ Coordinator; and

approved Jimmie Stewart for a bus driver position. All positions except Brenda Braggs are for the 2012-2013 school year.

The board members also approved Mary Sue Branham as the high school part-time lunch clerk position for the 2012-13 school year.

With no further business the board members adjourned at 10:20 p.m.

Special Meeting – June 29The Paris R-II Board of Education

met in special session to balance out the budget for the school year 2011-2012.

President Libby Williams called the meeting to order at 7 a.m., on Friday, June 29.

Budget to Actual for 2011-2012: It was noted that Fund III is in the minus due to an extra bond payment.

“We had a total increase of $20,000 this year and I do see things getting a little better,” said Superintendent Nancy Henke.

The board members made a mo-tion and approved the actual setting of district balances.

Authorized Representative: Chris Johnson was approved as autho-rized representative for the Paris R-II School District. This appoint-ment allows Superintendent John-son to sign all DESE and Federal programs. The board members ap-proved Superintendent Johnson as authorized representative.

Evaluation System (for educators): Superintendent Johnson gave an overview of the new DESE evalua-tion program.

“This does not hurt our district at

Paris R-II school board approves next year’s budget... Continued from fronttent program,” said Nancy

“Pilot programs are good and we need to participate,” said Board President Libby Williams.

The board members agreed and approved participation in the pilot program for evaluation.”

Diesel Bids: The board members approved the authorization of bids for 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

In an approved closed session the board members approved offering non-certified employment to Kayla Doerhoff and Brant Long for the 2012-2013 school year.

With no further business the board members adjourned at 7:31 a.m.
