Paris Rotary recognizes Paris R-II Top 5 students DeTienne, Dickey, Francis, Gruber and Nordwald

Willingham named new R-II Principal

The Paris Rotary Club held their 22nd Annual Top 5 Recognition Ban-quet, on Thursday, April 11, in the Paris R-II high school cafeteria. Rec-ognized as the Top 5 in their class were Shelby Mae DeTienne, Shelby Kaye Dickey, Britton Wade Francis, Payton Leigh Gruber and Austin Lee Nord-wald.

Rotary President Paula Delaney welcomed the students and the as-sembled family, friends and guests and thanked everyone for attending the event. Rotary member Glenn E. Turner gave the invocation.

“Welcome everyone; we are proud to come together tonight to recognize these students,” said President Del-aney to the assembled.

The assembled group of rotary members, family members and friends were treated to an excellent meal, pro-vided by Dawn Peak and ably assisted by FBLA members and Grace Peak.

Dinner consisted of salad, pork steaks, cheesy potatoes, corn, home-made rolls, and a dessert selection.

Rotary member Chuck Brazeale in-troduced the students, their families, guests and Rotary members.

Rotary member Turner and Presi-dent Delaney presented the Top 5 stu-dents with their plaques and patches.

“It is our privilege to be here to-night to recognize these honorees,” said Turner.

“The criteria for the Top 5 speaker is that they be a graduate of Paris High School; they distinguish themselves in achievement; and that they not be a member of the Rotary Club,” said

It was reported out an official closed session at a special meeting of the Paris R-II Board of Education, held on Tuesday, April 9, that current teacher and varsity girl’s basketball coach Chris Willingham has been of-fered a contract as secondary princi-pal for the 2013-2014 school year. The board members met in special session to interview principal candidates and the meeting began at 5 p.m. The vote for the principal contract offer was unanimous by the board members.

Brazeale. Brazeale introduced the evening’s

speaker Anthony (Tony) Duane Miller “I am thankful for the opportunity

to speak tonight,” said Miller. “This is an exciting time for you; and I am very proud of you (students).”

“I went to the first Missouri Schol-ars Program (Teddy Ebbesmeyer will be the attendee this year),” noted Mill-er while giving his personal history to the assembled.

“I want to give you some profession-al advice,” said Miller to the students.

Miller gave the students the follow-ing business standards to live by:

“Meet as many people as you can –

do not be shy.Do not lose confidence in your abili-

ties (put your head down and go to work).

Do not be afraid to take on chal-lenges.

Work harder – work smarter.When things do not go well, do not

blame others (focus your energy on why it failed not on who caused it).

Do not expect things to go easy (do expect things to work out in the end).

Appreciate what you have.”“Congratulations and I wish you all

the best,” said Miller in closing.

evening of the pageant.

Also reported from the special meeting was the acceptance of the res-ignation of Special Education Teacher Kelli Williams, who resigned effective at the end of the current school year. Williams has been hired as the new Superintendent/Principal of the Hol-liday C-2 School District.

The board members also unani-mously accepted the resignation of Elementary Principal Wendi Wood, effective immediately as of the day of the meeting, April 9.

It has been noted that Superinten-dent Chris Johnson will also oversee duties as elementary principal for the rest of this school year with the help of the elementary staff.

The last motion made, seconded and approved in closed session was to approve the adjusted administration salary schedule as presented.

With no further business, the board members adjourned at 7:37 p.m.

Changing The Game For College Admissions

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and wom-en merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.”

I think that maybe when Shakespeare wrote this he had been in the hands of the politicians of his day.

Now faithful readers of these words have never seen me wax either pro or con about politics in this space. I leave that for oth-ers to do. But this time I take pen (okay keyboard) in hand to discuss a point that has been bothering me. Gun control? No! Immigration reform? No! What I think is a travesty is the action of the Missouri Senate Ap-propriations Committee in completely removing the home delivered meals program monies from the Senate version of the state budget. While the House Appropriations Com-mittee left in the funding (which had been reduced by 1.5 million dollars in 2010 by the same legis-lature with a promise to restore the cuts within the next year) the removal of the Senate funding means that a committee of both houses will now decide what monies will be left in and what monies re-moved of the final pro-posed budget.

Has this happened be-fore? Of course it has. The legislature has before used the meals of seniors who have faithfully supported and paid their salaries over many years as lever-

age to play the “you give on this item and we will give on that” game. The problem with playing this dangerous game is that now with the loss of ad-ditional funds to the “se-questration” numbering in the $250,000-300,000 range the loss of any ad-ditional monies is criti-cal. Some seniors depend on these meals to make it from day to day. They are not pawns, and they defi-nitely are not voters to be trifled with. These are our parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors. The way to heal our na-tional or state problems should not be laid at the feet of our seniors or even our youth in reducing how much they get to eat.

So my suggestion to our legislature leaders – figure it out, restore the funding and find creative ways to think outside of the box and not remove the food in the box from the mouths of our seniors.

Have a great week!Editor’s Note: For more

information or to help the meal program contact the Paris Senior Citizen’s Cen-ter Director Tara Sheffield 660-327-5824.

In With The Old -

Part ThreeThe last couple weeks

spent talking about rais-ing children really got me thinking about my par-ents and how thankful I am for the way they raised me and my siblings. They were not afraid to tell us no. They made us get jobs and learn responsibility. They showed us how to treat others with respect, compassion and kind-ness. They expected us to respect authority and obey our teachers and adults. They showed us how to speak kind, posi-tive words. They let us fail in things which helped us learn how to bounce back. I also appreciate the era in which I grew up. I hope we can bring back some of the old way of doing things that worked and incorporate them with the new things that are working.

I want to end this se-ries with an email that was sent to me about the time period when I grew up. I thought this went along well with what I had been talking about. I hope you enjoy it!!!

To all the kids who

survived the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s!

First, we survived be-ing born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn’t get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trau-ma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabi-nets. When we rode our bikes we had on baseball caps not helmets.

As infants and chil-dren, we would ride in cars with no car seats, no booster seats, no seat belts, no air bags, bald tires and sometimes no brakes. Riding in the back of a pick-up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and ba-con.. We drank Kool-Aid made with real white sug-ar. And, we weren’t over-weight.

WHY? Because we were al-

ways outside playing...that’s why!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day,

As long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride them down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Play-stations, Nintendo’s and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, No video movies or DVD’s, no surround-sound or CD’s,

No cell phones, No personal comput-ers, no Internet and no chat rooms. WE HAD

FRIENDS And we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth. And there were no lawsuits from these acci-dents. We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.

Little League had try-outs and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappoint-ment. Imagine that!!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solv-ers and inventors ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of in-novation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibil-ity, and we learned how to deal with it all.

The envelopes are in the mail. Some of our high school students will be getting admission no-tices from colleges to which they have applied. Others shall receive rejec-tion letters. Behind many of these decisions by col-leges and universities are some changes that have moved them away from emphasis on merit and a student’s qualifications to a long look at their bot-tom lines.

Our state universities, the usual path to social and economic mobility, especially for the middle class, are changing their admission policies un-der the twin economic pressures of rising costs and diminished govern-ment support. There is evidence that some state schools now are offering to admit more rich out of state kids who can afford hefty tuition bills but are not exceptional students. These students are offered easy majors, lax grading, social opportunities and nice dorms. Top univer-sities are admitting some low income students but in decreasing numbers. When you also figure in space for under repre-sented minorities and athletes, the competition

for the few seats available is intense. Colleges and universities at all levels have continued to deviate from merit based admis-sions to make room for their recruited athletes. This means lower stan-dards in order to build sports programs for stu-dent athletes who do not perform well in class.

Our higher education system has been the path to social and economic mobility and the con-stant strength of a vibrant and prosperous middle class. Many of our best and brightest students of modest means that are willing and able to take on major debt and work their way through col-lege will find that merit alone is not the only mea-sure that our colleges and universities now consider but your athletic ability and the size of your wal-let have become more im-portant in some quarters. To the extent that we al-low our schools to do this without complaint we help them make it more difficult for our bright young graduates to afford quality higher education and aid in the decline of the already shrinking middle class in America.

SPRINGTIME IS HEREDear Editor,

It finally appears that Spring has arrived. With the nic-er weather flowers are blooming, trees are filling out and people will be out walking and doing outdoor activities. This is the time to clean up the yard and kick off the mow-ing season. Grass and weeds will need to be kept less than seven inches in height and it would be appreciated when mowing not to discharge grass into the street to keep storm drains from getting clogged. The heavy snowfalls did leave many downed tree limbs so please take advan-tage of the brush pickup by the City on the first and third Fridays of the month. Remember to place yard waste in bags, cut tree limbs to less than ten feet in length and place these items next to the street curb. Pet owners need to be considerate by keeping their animals on their own prop-erty or on leashes and restrain dogs from any excessive barking. Also there are numerous junk items and unli-censed/inoperative vehicles in yards around town. The City does have an ordinance which prohibits the open storage of junk and unlicensed/inoperative vehicles so it would be appreciated if these unsightly items are re-moved, or if vehicles are repaired and properly licensed, before a notice has to be issued. There is bulk trash pickup scheduled for May 1 and May 16, which will provide an opportunity to dispose of junk items. The City of Paris will be much more appealing if everyone does their part in keeping their property well maintained.

Goodbye to R.H. Moorman: Rev. R.H. Moorman closed his ser-vice as pastor of the First Baptist Church Sunday night. All the other con-gregation dismissed and joined to make the meet-ing a community event, the crowd being one of the largest that had ever been packed into the build-ing. Moorman was at his best. Instead of indulging in reminiscences or toss-ing rhetorical bouquets, his last message was in the nature of an appeal to Christian people to rise

to higher standards, while to non-Christians it was a vigorous exhortation to link up with the Church in the work it has been com-missioned to do.

Moorman was a com-munity asset as well as a religious leader and as such he will be missed by all sorts of people. Accom-panied by his good family he left Tuesday afternoon for Cheyenne, Wyo., to begin his work as pastor of a large congregation.

An Unusual Record: According to T.T. Rodes, the Paris School Board probably holds the record in the state for the number

of men to be secretary of the board. Only two have held the office since the organization of the dis-trict. T.B. Robinson was secretary until 1885 and T.T. Rodes has been secre-tary ever since.


200 Children Found 60 Pounds of Eggs: Approxi-mately 200 children of Paris and the surrounding trade territory gathered at the Fairgrounds Sunday afternoon for the annual Progressive Club Eas-ter Egg hunt, and found sixty pounds of eggs that had been hidden about the grounds. Over 2,000 eggs were provided. A big crowd of adults attended the even, which was in charge of Russell Patrick, Roy Huffman and Wayne Thompson, who were as-sisted by Ed Dunkin and his boy Scouts.

Paul Takes in More Territory: Paul Alexander, published of the Mercury at Paris, bought the News at Shelbina this week. He is the third owner the News has had since it was started six weeks ago.

Key-Shatzer Wedding: Miss Hazel Key, daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Key, and Charles Shatzer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Har-vey Shatzer, were married at the Key home Sunday morning in a pretty home ceremony before forty-five intimate friends and relatives of the young couple. The ceremony was performed before the candle-lighted fireplace by Rev. Harold Roberts, pas-tor of the Paris Christian church.


Three Paris F.F.A. mem-bers for State Farmer De-gree: Three boys of the Paris Future Farmers of America Chapter will be recommended for the State Farmer Degree be-fore the student delegate body of the State FFA Convention in Columbia Friday night at 7:30 p.m. The boys are Arvid Hall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hall, south of Holliday; Eddie King, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry King, north of Paris; and Jim Sheerman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sheerman, of Holliday. A reception for parents and guests of the boys will be held at the Student Union building from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The State Famrer De-grees will be given at Jesse Auditorium.


Union Bridge receives face-lift; The smell of spring fills the air as rush-ing water cascades across the low water bridge be-neath the Union Covered Bridge. The bridge stands amongst metal supports and cables that hold it in place as workers begin the necessary construction that will bring the bridge back to life.

The bridge operated as a working bridge until 1970, but it will never see the strain of those days again as it will be closed to strictly walking traffic. The Union Bridge is one of only four remaining cov-ered bridges in the state. It is also the only one left of five that were originally in Monroe County, but were removed by nature.

Points to Keep in Mind When Choosing A Tax Preparer

Giving peace of mind at tax time is important but customer service during & after the return is complete is of greater concern to me. Preparing tax returns can be complicated & confusing. If you are able to prepare your own, great! If you hate to do so , you will be happy to know that as of Jan. 1, 2011 all tax preparers must be registered with the IRS & have passed a formal exam. If you don’t prepare your own tax return, choose wisely. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what’s on their tax return even if someone else prepares it. So, it is important to choose carefully when hiring a firm to prepare your return. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

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

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

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

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

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

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

She retired in 2008 and now works part-time as a Title I reading teacher, at St. Brendan’s, in Mexico. She grew up on a farm in northeast Missouri near Revere and has loved barns all her life. She re-ceived her Bachelor’s De-gree at Culver-Stockton College and Masters at Mizzou The organization

was formed in 2002 under the guidance of Bobette Balser Wilson. A board of directors was elected to further the project ideals.

Built in Mexico, in 1887, Simmons’ Stable is the oldest known build-ing in the United States that was continuously devoted to boarding and training champion Ameri-can Saddlebred horses. Simmons’ Stable was a working stable until 2001 and ended a long, distin-guished history of horses, trainers, and owners that classified Mexico as the “Saddlehorse Capital of the World.”

Since 2001, the stable has deteriorated badly, re-sulting in a shifting build-ing with weak side walls, a leaking roof, and interior water damage. In 2002, a group of concerned citi-zens formed to create the Simmons’ Stables Preser-vation Fund, Inc. to pro-tect this irreplaceable part of history. The goals of the project are to renovate and

preserve Simmons’ Stable’s historic and architectural significance and establish the International Saddle-bred Hall of Fame.

What is the Interna-tional Saddlebred Hall of Fame?

The International Sad-dlebred Hall of Fame will include a museum, which will display a large num-ber of artifacts represent-ing the Saddlebred horse history. Recognition will be made to local, state, na-tional, and international horse families, individuals, and their champion horses that have made important contributions to the his-tory of the Saddlebred. Trainers and their training methods, materials, tech-niques, and symbols of reward will be displayed. Champion Saddlehorses will be prominently fea-tured. There will be educa-tional tours, special exhib-its, annual Hall of Fame shows and Induction Cer-emonies, and many other activities devoted to the

Saddlebred.The Simmons’ Stable

Fund, Inc. has made much progress towards preserv-ing the stable. In 2004, the group received the Missouri Department of Economic Development’s Neighborhood Assistance Program state tax credits, with a total of $500,000 in generous donations given by local, state, and national contributors. We received the U.S. Department of the Interior’s “Save Amer-ica’s Treasures” matching $250,000 grant in 2005. The stable was structur-ally secured and shored up early this year. New tarpaulins were covered over the roof to prevent further water intrusion. Our architects, Butler, Rosenbury, and Partners

SENIOR NEWS5A

A mutual fund is an investment that pools together funds from many investors who have the same investment objectives. The money is managed by a professional who analyzes the financial markets and selects investments. And the pool is large enough to afford a diverse array of securities, something that can be too expensive for most individual investors to do themselves.

A mutual fund provides an opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio. The access to professional management and a diversi-fied portfolio makes mutual funds popular with many individu-als who are investing for retirement, a child’s college education, or other long-term goals. Whether you are doing the research yourself or working with a registered agent, understanding some of the basics may help you make a more educated decision.

Starting Your ResearchThere are thousands of funds available, but how do you choose?

Funds are broken down into a few basic categories: stock, bond, and hybrid (mixed stock and bond) funds; lower risk and higher risk; domestic and international. If you start by thinking about those categories and how they fit your goals, you can sort through the options a bit more efficiently.

The key offering information for a mutual fund is found in the prospectus, a document that explains the investment objective, the fees, and the fund management. Start with the investment objective. Does it fit what you are looking for? If you won’t need this money for years, perhaps you may look to take more risk.

Fees And ExpensesThe next thing to consider is the sales charge. Many funds

charge investors when they purchase shares in the fund. This is known as a front load. Some will charge you a back end load when you take money out. This is used to compensate the regis-tered agent who assisted you with your selection. Such assistance can be valuable!

You should also take a look at the fund’s expense ratio. This is a measure of what it costs an investment company to operate a mutual fund. Depending on the type of fund, operating expenses vary widely. The largest component of operating expenses is the fee paid to a fund’s investment manager/advisor. Other costs include recordkeeping, custodial services, taxes, legal expenses, and accounting and auditing fees. Some funds have a marketing cost referred to as a 12b-1 fee, which would also be included in operating expenses.

Looking At PerformanceWith the expenses in mind, take a look at the fund’s long-term

performance. You want to get a sense of how it does when the financial markets are strong and when they are weak. Every in-vestment has its ups and downs, but you want to make sure you can live with the fund’s volatility and that the volatility is appro-priate for that particular investment. As part of that, you want to compare the fund’s performance to an appropriate market index, such as the S&P 500 for a U.S. large company stock fund or the Russell 2000 Index for a U.S. small company stock fund.

This seems like a lot of work, but there are some helpful re-sources available. Morningstar, a company that evaluates mutual funds, has great information on its website. Many people use a registered agent to help them, too.

Investing involves risk, including potential for loss.Diversification and asset allocation do not assure a profit or

protect against loss. Foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations. Bonds are subject to inter-est rate risk and may decline in value due to an increase in inter-est rates. The stocks of small companies are more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies. The S&P 500® Index tracks the common stock performance of 500 large U.S. companies. The Russell 2000 Index tracks the common stock performance of the 2,000 smallest U.S. companies in the Russell 3000 Index.

This week’s mes-sage was entitled ‘En-dure Through the Days of Noah’ and came from Mt. 24:13, 36-44 and 2 Tim.3:1-9. Jesus said he would return when the days where like the days of Noah. Genesis 6:5: 11 tells us Noah’s day was totally corrupt and violent. Is this what Christians have to look forward to before going home at the Second Coming of Christ? Paul gives a view of the society that will be on earth at the time of Christ’s return. Paul tells us it will be dan-gerous and then gives a long list of characteristics of those who will inhabit the earth. This list shows why this time on earth is dangerous. Without go-ing through the list (space limitations) you will find that none of the charac-teristics are godly.

Mankind will be to-tally self-absorbed and fierce one could say that human will have become the most dangerous ani-mal on the planet. God did not make mankind as

an animal but choosing to reject God can turn a man into an animal. Of course those in the church do not have anything to worry about. Or do they?

Paul tells us people will have a form of godliness but deny the power. This means the church will be going through the mo-tions of a church but the people have no power of God in their lives. The power of God is the Gos-pel of Christ that changes a life. The church will no longer teach and preach salvation through Christ but instead rely on self-help techniques of the world. Sin, confess, and repentance will no longer be tolerated by the pews because they will not what to hear about them.

So preachers will no longer preach what God will them to preach but instead they will tickle the congregation’s ears. The preachers will not have the power of God in their lives either. How can they preach what they do not know? They will tell people God is only love and He will save ev-eryone from Hell; a place that does not really exist anyway. Paul tells us these preachers will be exposed for the false preachers and teachers that they are.

I tell you this today be-cause the world has been able to craft some very convincing argument on how Christians ought to live. You can see many falling for these lies. We are called to endure to the end with Christ and knowing what is coming will help each of us to pre-pare for what lies ahead. The best protection from falling for the trickery of the world is to know the Word of God well and have a strong relationship with Jesus.

Services at Holliday Christian Church on Sunday, April 14, were opened with the prelude by Jane Akers, organist. All in attendance were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes with a spe-cial welcome back to Mac and Catherine Donovan.

Envelopes for special Easter offering will be available for one more week. An opportunity to donate blood will occur at Holliday School on Friday, April 19, from 3 – 7 p.m. Happy birthday was sung to Justin Jarman, Delores Thrasher, Evan Smoth-ers, Aileen Putnam, Av-ery Elizabeth Carr, Nellis Kotsenburg and his twin sister, Pam, Gary Wilson and in memory of Mil-dred Howe.

“When Morning Gilds the Skies” was the open-ing hymn; pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri” fol-lowed. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Tony Feger, Gene Carter, Ken-neth Wilson, Mike Mal-lory, Elizabeth Buie, Bob Wisner, Beverly Wandrey, Joyce Hammond. Sympa-thy was expressed to the families of Yvonne Gar-nett and Kathlyn Fields.

The prayer hymn, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” was sung with mo-ments of meditation as a final verse was played. Pastoral prayer and uni-son recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed.

The communion hymn, “This Do in Re-membrance of Me”, was

sung as elders, Gary Wil-son and Pete Olney, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Serving as deacons were: Nellis Kot-senburg and Johnny Rags-dale. Following sharing of communion and collec-tion of offerings, pastoral prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

Scripture from Rev-elation 7:9-17 was the reference for Reverend Holmes’ morning mes-sage entitled “Abundance is the Heart of God”. The hymn of invitation and dedication, “The Way of the Cross Leads Home”, was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Gerald Roberts called the monthly Board meet-ing to order immediately following services. Min-utes of the March meeting were approved as present-ed by Mary McMorris, Secretary, as well as the financial reports given by Jane Akers, Treasurer. Other financial issues were discussed and re-solved. The meeting was adjourned.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled, “Walk by Faith, Not by Sight” from Cor-inthians 5:1-10. God’s word tells us that the just will walk by faith. Our fo-cus should be on God and our heavenly dwelling to come. God has prepared us because he has given us new life and rebirth through the Holy Spirit. We need to find satisfac-tion in knowing our body is temporary.

NEW BUSINESSES HIGHLIGHT THE STREETS OF PERRY

The Sunday, April 14, services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “How Great Thou Art” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Love Lifted Me”, “There is Power”, “Victory in Jesus” and “God Be With You” with Pastor John Grimmett leading the Responsive Reading from Psalm 86.

Prayer was held for the Russell Woodhurst family; the Sharp family; Terri Gash family and friends; Rhonda Graupman; Amanda and Patti Grimmett; James A; JD Whelan; Phyllis; Mike Mallory; Beverly Wandry; Tonya Miller and praises for Arla Eisenhower’s re-turn from Florida; the Tilt’s to have twin great-granddaughters and announcing the Monroe City Singers to go on tour, in Perry on May 5, at Perry Baptist Church, at 3 p.m., followed by the Lord’s Prayer.

Patti sang a song she had written “Resurrection” as she played guitar.

The message “Victory In Jesus” was based on scripture from Ro-mans 8 as Paul writes living our lives through Jesus Christ, there is a heaven with a resurrected life...Who lives in us by faith - we cannot live in the past - you can only go forward from where ever you are - we can only change yourself - the light of the gospel, living in the spirit of that light...

God sent Jesus so we could be rescued from sin - you have the spirit of the living God in you. The spirit of Jesus will pray to God for you - for the good of those who love God. You are called for God’s purpose in life...If God is for us then who can be against us? Don’t give up He will give you the answers! Overwhelming victory is yours today... nothing can separate you from the love of Jesus Christ.

The offertory was led by Bobby Gash and Kaylee Beckham as Patti played “Fairest Lord Jesus” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Because He Lives” as all retired in fellowship on a beautiful day.

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

Gary Devenport proves that good guys do finish first. In January, Gary and his team were presented with the 2012 Wausau Homes Builder of the Year award at Wausau Homes’ annual marketing conference.

Gary has been build-ing quality custom homes in Moberly, and the sur-rounding areas for 38 years. He joined the Wausau Homes builder network in 1995 and has helped to “Redefine the Building Experience” for more than 200 happy homeowners throughout the area.

According to Jay Schuette, President of Wausau Homes, the an-nual Builder of the Year award goes to the builder who achieved the highest ratings in terms of sales volume, market share, op-erational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. In fact, only builders who were in the 95th percen-tile in all key areas were eligible for the prestigious Builder of the Year award, and Gary was at the top of the group in 2012.

“Gary’s customer-first approach to homebuild-ing provides a stress-free building experience that is different than other builders in the area.” ex-

COMMUNITY NEWSHultz Retires From Marine Corps

On April 1, 2013, Donald Hultz, son of Judy Hol-lingsworth of Paris and Joe Hultz of Mexico, retired af-ter nearly 32 years of service in the Marine Corps. He entered the Marine Corps in May of 1981, immediately upon graduating from Paris High School.

Don has travelled to and lived in many countries, such as Cuba, Japan, and North Korea. The two Koreas are undoubtedly his favorite with Japan as an honor-able mention. While he became an accomplished mar-tial artist in association with Japan, it was the Koreas that gave him a better appreciation of life, food, and people. Some travels and duty were not always big on fun but they were always big on adventure. There were: the mine fields of Cuba in 1982, counterterrorism in the Philippine jungle in 1986 (the snakes were scarier than the terrorists), an eviction notice for the Iraqis in

Kuwait in 1991, and two tours feeding the Somalis in 1993 and 1995.

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Hultz started his Ma-rine Corps Career as a private. In 1995 he obtained the Marine enlisted rank of Gunnery Sergeant and then became a Warrant Officer in 1996. In all, Don held thirteen ranks in the Marine Corps. His jobs in the Corps included: Supply Clerk, 81MM Mortar-man, Close Combat Instructor, Close Quarter Battle Marine, Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Techni-cian, and EOD Officer. While he enjoyed firing all types of weapons the most, being part of the EOD program was extremely rewarding. EOD personnel have saved countless lives in the clearance of explosive devices. Our thoughts, prayers, and donations should go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Don contributes his success in the Marine Corps to the strong work ethics he learned from northern Mis-sourians. Having observed a lot of Marines from a lot of places he can attest that people from communities like Paris understand hard work and self-sacrifice and this served Lieutenant Colonel Hultz well over his time in the Corps. Commitment was essential to his Marine Corps service, a value which was also learned through fellow Missourians and Christian beliefs. Working for Glen Turner as a teenager brought this all together. Don would like to thank everyone for all the support through prayers, letters, and care packages over the last 32 years, they truly made a difference.

Don received a Master’s degree with honors last year. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife Kyong. His daughter Sarah is a fellow at the University of New Mexico, in Albuquerque. He has a grandson named James who will be two years old in May and he is definitely fun.

The Sunday, April 14, worship hour of the Perry Christian Church’s alter candles were lit by Cayt-lyn Provancha and Tristen Johnson.

The choir sang “Gentle Shepherd”.

Pastor Todd welcomed everyone and gave the call to worship. Saturday, April 20 will be Harrison’s 60th wedding anniver-sary celebration, at Da-vid Lewellen’s shop, (not house) starting at 5 p.m.

“Great Is the Lord” was the praise hymn. Debbie Hodges announced the arrival of Annie Jo, her new granddaughter. She is the daughter of Mark, Amy and brother Austin and is beautiful. Louise Hurley is celebrating her birthday today. Her birth-day was the 12th.

“It is Well With My Soul” led to the morn-ing prayer and con-cerns for Connie Mur-ray, J.D.Whelan, Mae McLaughlin, Nancy See-low, Gene Cooper and Jack Cochell (friend of Zabette Elam), Our sym-pathy is for the families of Russell Woodhurst and Calvin Hull. The choir’s response was “Hear Our Prayer O Lord”.

Pastor Todd issued the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper. “Amaz-ing Grace” was sung. Elders serving were Ar-len Provancha and Greg Harrison. Glenna John-son, Anthony Elam, James Parker and Wyatt Lewellen served as dea-cons

“Peace Like a River” was special music provid-ed by the choir.

Alisha Eisele gave the children’s moment tell-ing them Jesus was teach-ing Peter to show his love as well as saying it. They need do the same for oth-ers.

John 21:1-19 was read by Cheryl Vaughn for the pastor’s sermon, “Feed My Sheep”. Jesus charged Pe-ter and six of his disciples to be more than a friend but make a commitment to share Him with oth-ers. Be His shepherd and not only pray but help the weak and nurture His children.

“Softly and Tenderly” was sung as the invitation hymn. The benediction was given before singing “Yesterday. Today, For-ever” to close the service.

GRANDMA’S ATTICa flea market

Antiques, Collectibles and Stuff

Before you shop for an-tiques, it’s important to un-derstand some terms used in the marketplace.

By law, an antique is an item that’s at least 100 years old.

A collectible is just about anything that people col-lect. The age of a collect-ible is not important, ex-cept if an item is labeled a vintage collectible. A vin-tage collectible is an item that is at least 50 years old.

A reproduction is an item created to look like an original, but that has no value in the antiques world. For example, new furniture can be manufac-tured to resemble styles from the 18th century, like Queen Anne, Chip-pendale and Hepplewhite. The same is true of an-tique reproduction jew-

“A” Is for Antique: Learning the Lingoelry — the items are not old; they simply are man-ufactured in the style of a certain period, like the Victorian era. Depending on the quality of materi-als and the manufacturing process, a reproduction can be expensive, but not nearly as expensive as an original. It also may be difficult for a non-expert to distinguish between a well-manufactured repro-duction and an original.

You also may see or hear the term repro. Repro is not short for reproduc-tion. Some people use the term repro to describe a new item that has been purposefully created with the intent to deceive and sell at its genuine counter-part antique price. Essen-tially, a repro is a fake. For example, an unscrupulous

dealer may knowingly try to sell you a repro Tiffany lamp as an original. Items from a variety of catego-ries can be faked, includ-ing porcelains, glassware, jewelry, silver, paintings, prints, textiles, wood carvings, brass, and cop-per.

Price guides are books filled with technical in-formation on specific antiques, brief histories, references, short descrip-tions, photos, and average retail prices. The prices listed can’t take certain variables into account

— like the condition of a particular item or its popularity in a particular location (for example, an antique platform rock-ing chair may be more popular in one part of the country than another). Price guides can be gen-eral or specialized: some cover a broad range of an-tiques, from furniture to ceramics. Others special-ize in items like Ameri-can pottery and porcelain, Oriental decorative arts, furniture from the Arts and Crafts movement, or pressed glass. Price guides

are updated routinely. Make sure you consult the latest editions.

Auction catalogs, pub-lished by auction houses, suggest how much selling price varies from asking price. Get a catalog before a sale, and ask to receive the “prices realized” list,

which details what items actually sold for. Items are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Prices can rise quickly and dramatically if bid-ding gets heated.

Come out and support our PHS golf teams!

The Mark Twain Country Club is a bright spot of green heaven in Monroe County.

The club, which was incorporated on Oct. 19, 1961, had 120 charter members.

According to board member Nancy Bierly, there are 180 member-ships available at the club. She explained that the club has a tiered mem-bership plan including single, family and associ-ate memberships.

The club began as a nine-hole course with sand greens. Mark Twain Country Club expanded to 18 holes and added grass greens in 1992.

Mark Twain Country Club is the proud home course for the Paris R-Ii Coyote and Lady Coyote golfers. It is also home this past year to 13 men’s league teams and 11 women’s league teams.

“We are doing renova-tions to the clubhouse as the budget allows,” said Mrs. Bierly.

The clubhouse is avail-able for rent for events such as the upcoming Monroe County Farm Bureau Young Farmer’s Prom Dinner.

The clubhouse fea-tures a Pro Shop stocked with golfing supplies and is the place to start to pay for green fees and cart rental.

“Golf is a lifetime sport,” says Paris R-II Golf Coach Jeremy Skinner. “You learn to play golf and you play for the rest of your life.”

According to club members it is the place to be for good times, fun and fellowship.

The club is under the direction of a Board of Directors including President Mike Umsta-ttd, Vice-President Dan Schappe, Treasurer Adam Turner, Secretary Nancy Riechmann and members Butch Cullifer, Rick Ham-

mond and Nancy Bierly. Bob McKinney and Da-vid Willingham work the course and Jake Peak will run the pro shop during the summer.

The club sponsors a members’ only tourna-ment, the Barnett Open, in memory of Dr Barnett. It also sponsors other tournaments including 4-man scramble, 2-man scramble, 4-woman scrabble and a Couples Tournament.

“Mark Twain Coun-try Club is a wonderful course,” added Mrs. Bi-

erly. She noted that the

course is a semi-private course. Individuals from out of county pay green fees and cart fees but for those in Monroe County a member ship is required but Monroe County resi-dents can play three times a year without being a member.

For a great round of golf – visit Mark Twain Country Club.

Fees:Membership fee - $500;

Dues – Single, $425; Fam-ily $475 and Associate $200 (golf not included).

Green fees: (Weekend and holidays) 9 holes $11; 18 holes $18; (Monday-Thursday) 9 holes $11; 18 holes $15; Cart rental – 9 holes $10; 18 holes $18; trail fee $5.

The course is closed Tuesday and Thursday evenings due to league play.

While teaching, Ka-thylin met WW II Army Veteran Ladell Fields. They were married on Sept. 29, 1950 at Holy Rosary Church, in Mon-roe City. Kathylin and Ladell were the proud parents of six children, and celebrated their love for on another for 46 years until Ladell’s death on July 17, 1997.

After the youngest child was in school, Ka-thylin returned to teach-ing. She started out by being a substitute teach-er in the Paris school sys-tem, then she taught at Holliday, for three years. Her greatest joy was the opportunity to return to her alma mater Holy Ro-sary School, where she taught for 16 years before retiring in 1989.

Kathylin was a very accomplished seamstress like her mother. She was also very adept at em-broidering and did beau-tiful handwork for the altar cloths at her church.

Kathylin helped found St. Frances Cabri-ni Catholic Church in Paris in 1953 and was a very active and faith-ful member. She served as a Catechism teacher, Eucharistic minister, lec-tor and a member of the Altar Sodality. Kathylin was proud to be a 64 year member of the Daugh-ters of Isabella.
