Madison C-3 Class of 2013 graduates 18 students before family and friends

Survivor Luncheon scheduled for June 2

The Madison 2013 Gradua-tion, on Sunday, May 12, at 2 p.m., began with the prelude of “It’s Time” by Imagine Dreams.

The graduates entered the gymnasium to the sweet strains of Pomp and Circumstance.

Superintendent Fred Weibling welcomed the assembled gradu-ates, friends, guests and family.

The speakers, chosen by the class, were former teachers Kyle Schroer and Teresa Briscoe.

“I had the great honor of teach-ing and coaching here at Madi-son,” said Schroer. “This group of graduating seniors is awesome.”

“This group had the ability to turn a bad day into a great day,” added Schroer. “Today an era ends and a new one begins.”

“I am not going to tell you that the road ahead will get easier – that is not true,” noted Schroer. “If you spend all your time wor-rying about tomorrow you will miss out on so much.”

“I am incredibly honored that you asked me to speak here today and you guys are awesome!” said Schroer in closing. “Congratula-tions to the graduating Class of 2013.”

Ms. Briscoe addressed the stu-dents admonishing them to nev-er say the following, “I’m from Madison and I won‘t make a dif-ference.” “You do matter!”

“Everyone of you will make a

difference in your lives,” added Ms. Briscoe. “Remember the fol-lowing: Sometimes we need a lit-tle nudge; don’t let obstacles get in our way; take your responsibil-ities seriously; stretch yourselves; and to succeed you need more than luck.”

“All your small acts add up, you will make a difference.” ex-plained Ms. Briscoe. “Congratu-lations and good luck in your future.”

Principal Trisch Vessar and Superintendent Weibling pre-sented the Eighth Graders with their diplomas.

8th Grade Graduates included Kaylynn Michelle Black, Mad-dison Abagail Breid, Timmie Tyler Chapman, Jr., Morning River Rain Clay, Billie Daleanne Cullom, Korbin Allen Dickerson, Corrie Danielle Dunkin, Kelsey Breianne Farris, David Alexan-der Gibler, Jacob Thomas Graves, Payton Elizabeth Greiwe, Shelby Leann Hendren, Bobby Chance Johnston, Sarah Beth Keeling, Hunter Elise Salmons, Nathan-iel Dale Sims, Brienna Kathryn Staggs, Austin Michael Thorn-ton, Isaac Taylor Wiesner, Jacob Logan Wolfe, Joshua Alen Youse.

Counselor Jessica David pre-sented the class with their schol-arships and awards (look for awards listed in next week’s Mon-roe County Appeal).

Judge Rachel Bringer Shepherd, Presiding Judge of the Tenth Circuit, recently announced that she has appointed Nina Benoist Chasnoff as the new Chief Juvenile Officer for the Tenth Judicial Circuit, which includes Marion, Mon-roe and Ralls Counties. Ms. Chasnoff graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History. She later graduated from the Saint Louis University School of Law in 2012, where she was a Dean’s Honor Scholar and wrote for the Public Law Review. After law school, Ms. Chasnoff worked for the law firm of Lewis, Rice and Fing-ersh, L.C. She has relocated her home to the Tenth Circuit and began serving as Chief Juvenile Officer on April 15, Judge Shepherd hosted a formal swearing-in ceremony for Ms. Chasnoff on May 3, 2013, at the Marion County Court-

house, in Hannibal, which was attended by deputy juvenile officers, members of the Tenth Judicial Circuit Bar Associa-tion, Circuit Clerks from throughout the Circuit, and court personnel.

At the ceremony, Judge Shepherd explained that the Missouri Supreme Court has recently directed all juvenile offices to have legal representation in court proceedings, and the Supreme Court has announced plans to propose a new rule prohibiting juvenile officers who are not attorneys from representing the juvenile office in juvenile court.

Judge Bringer Shepherd stated, “I am grateful for the op-portunity to hire an attorney to fill the position of Chief Juvenile Officer, which was vacant due to the recent re-tirement of Phil Livesay, and use our existing resources to comply with Missouri law at no additional cost to Marion, Monroe or Ralls Counties.”

Judge Shepherd noted that several attorneys have pre-viously served as Tenth Judicial Circuit Juvenile Officers, including the late Circuit Judge Ronald R. McKenzie, Pal-myra Municipal Judge Tom Meade, the late Marion County Associate Judge John D. Ogle, and attorney Warren Wells, who is currently general counsel for Truman State Univer-sity in Kirksville.

The Tenth Judicial Circuit Juvenile Office provides as-sistance to children and families in need within Marion, Monroe, and Ralls Counties.

Judge Shepherd said, “I appreciate Nina’s enthusiasm, diligence, and desire to assist the Tenth Circuit Juvenile Of-fice in serving the children and families of the Tenth Judi-cial Circuit.”

Thank You Mom!

(I had a wonderful Mother’s Day and I hope everyone else did also. I did find myself shed-ding tears here and there thinking about my mom and how much I missed her. I wanted to share an article from my book that she enjoyed. She was the inspiration behind it.)

I do not think it is possible to write down all the things we are thank-ful for when it comes to our mothers. Even if we try and list all of them we are more than likely go-ing to forget some. And the older we are the lon-ger the list is. When we are younger we might ap-preciate a small fraction of what our mothers do for us but it is not until we are older that we re-ally understand all the unconditional love they gave and all the sacrifices they made.

I had a huge revelation about the deep love my mom had for me after I started having children of my own. I can remem-ber calling her numer-ous times telling her how sorry I was for not appreciating her when I

was younger. And for all the times as a teenager when I had an attitude with her for no reason. No matter what my mom did or said I was irritated with her. Do you know I even got mad at her when she would come into my room in the morning and say with the happiest, most cheerful voice that it was time to get up?(Of course it was during my teenage years.) Thank God our moms hung in there and even loved us (might not have liked us but loved us) through those years.

So, to all the moms out there who have hung in there through thick and thin, here is a list of some of the things we are thankful for:

*Every dirty diaper you changed

*Every sleepless night you endured

*Every temper tan-trum you rode out

*Every meal you pre-pared

*Every bathroom you scrubbed

*Every dirty dish you made clean

*Every book you read*Every sibling fight

you refereed*Every tear that you

dried*Every kiss that you

gave*Every late night study

date*Every piece of art-

work you saved*Every hormonal bout

you ignored*Every piece of cloth-

ing you bought*Every bad day you

made good*Every life lesson

taught

*Every load of laundry you did

*Every smile that you gave

*Every sickness you made well

*Every day that you prayed

To every mom wheth-er old or young we say thank you and God Bless You for all that you have done.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her.

Proverbs 31:28 NKJ*This excerpt was tak-

en from my book ‘Thank God For Flip Flops’. If you are interested in purchas-ing a copy of this book you can go to www.pub-lishamerica.com

90 Years AgoMay 18, 1923

Want Better Streets: There is a growing senti-ment for a reform of Paris streets and for the elimina-tion of at least two-thirds of our hurdle crossings. The money spent for oil each year would pay a good part of the interest on what money it may be necessary to raise for per-manent streets. Practically all of our patrons come to town in motor cars. They complain, and with just cause, of the discomfort to themselves and families and the injury to their ma-chines when they leave the smooth country roads and begin bumping the bumps on our streets. It is a matter that should receive serious consideration at the nest council meeting.

Paris to Have New Doc-tor: Dr. J.C. Flints, of Mo-lino, has rented Mrs. Mary Hardwick’s residence and will move to Paris about June 11. He will be associ-ated with Dr. H.C. Payne in general practice.

Club to Open May 25: The Paris Country Club will be officially opened on the evening of Friday, May 25, with an elaborate program and possibly a dance following. The ten-nis courts and croquet grounds are now in shape and other improvements for the grounds are being planned for this season. Entertainment may pos-sibly be given at regular intervals throughout the summer and fall.


Big Drop in Eggs: The biggest drop in eggs of recent years occurred last Friday afternoon when a

Noel Produce Company truck driven by James White overturned at the Russell Davis corner a block south of the school-house. Two hundred and forty-three dozen eggs were crushed in the crash, the highway being covered with crushed shells and their recent contents. For-ty-five pounds of butterfat also was lost. The truck was only slightly damaged, al-though it had plunged with great force into the deep ditch along the west side of Highways 24 and 15 at that point. The driver escaped unhurt. The mishap, it seems, was cause by White’s effort to avoid a collision with a car which drove up on the highway just as he came along.

Virginia’s School Re-cord: Miss Virginia Fern Hawkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hawkins, has just completed her tenth year of school with-out being absent or tardy during the entire time. Of the ten years she went eight of them to a country school near Goss, one year of high school in Paris, the second year of high school was in Holliday. While liv-ing in Goss, Miss Hawkins attended Paris High School making the trip in a car, a distance of five miles. Miss Hawkins states her past ex-perience in school life has been very successful and she is hoping the next two years will be equally as kind to her.


Miss Carr Crowned GA Queen Sunday Evening: Miss Charlotte Carr, daugh-ter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Carr, of Paris was crowned a Queen in the Girls Aux-

iliary of the Women’s Mis-sionary Society f the Baptist Church, in ceremonies held Sunday evening.

The event took place be-fore a stage that had been elaborately decorated, with Mrs. Zane Miller designing the background.

Cain and Painter Crowned at Prom: Miss Sandy Cain, daughter of Danny Painter, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Painter, were crowned queen and king at the annual Junior-Senior Prom held Friday night in the high school gym. The theme for the for-mal affair was “Evening in Paris” with the gym deco-rated in keeping with the theme. The couple were crowned beneath the Eiffel Tower erected in the mid-dle of the gym by Gladys Featherston, vice-president of the Junior class and Lon-nie James, retiring king. Miss Mary Ellen Bishop is the retiring queen and was unable to attend.

Lightning Causes Fire Loss: Lightning struck a double crib and shed at the Leon Martin home north of Paris Saturday night, burn-ing both. Also destroyed was Martin’s farm tractor wants some miscellaneous machinery, but no feed. Martin was unaware of the fire, he told the Appeal, un-til some boys driving along Highway 15 west of his place saw the blaze, went to his home and aroused him. By the time the roof had fallen in and there was no chance of halting the blaze, Martin said.


Union Covered Bridge Reconstruction Halted Af-ter Construction Problems: According to State Officials

earlier this week, the con-struction at the Union Cov-ered Bridge has halted do to some unforeseen problems.

John Cunning, of the Mark Twain Shrine, said Monday that the bridge had been halted in its recon-struction phases. Cunning put the Appeal in touch with Ralph Bray, of the state department handing the reconstruction. Bray is the Engineer in charge of the project and explained the problem that had been run into.

Paris R-II Superinten-dent Resigns From Position: Paris Superintendent Dr. Larry Twellman resigned from his position in the R-II schools Tuesday. The Paris School Board met in a spe-cial session Tuesday noon to accept Twellman’s resig-nation.

Twellman has been working for the district since July 1, 1981 and says he is now unemployed and looking into other possi-bilities. Twellman said his reasons for resigning were simply to make applications for other jobs. He wanted to give the board ample time to accept his resignation, so that he could possibly ac-cept another offer. He will continue his duties until June 30, until his replace-ment is named.

Kramer and Wandrey Awarded Top Honors at Madison: Commencement exercises were held at Madi-son C-3 on Sunday, May 15. Twenty-one seniors and nineteen eighth graders re-ceived diplomas. Michelle Kramer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leland Kramer was valedictorian and Bry-an Wandrey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Wandrey was sa-lutatorian.

Trivial Pursuit in Jefferson City

Graduation... It is a time of pride, pride in our future; and it is a time of tears; tears of good byes and for our fledglings leaving the nest and flying on their own.

Graduation is a time to reflect on history and to look forward to the history yet to be written. As the schools of Paris and Madison ready their graduates and Paris, Madison, Holliday and Mid-dle Grove ready for promo-tion - all eyes are upon the students.

A bond has formed be-tween these students who have spent their time to-gether in the hallways of learning. Now these friends look toward a future possibly apart from those who have shared almost every second since kindergarten.

It is a time of looking in-side and searching for the vision of maybe just the im-mediate future not even the long range plan for the rest of their lives.

To our graduates - good luck in your future. May you live out all your goals and may all your future endeav-ors be successful. You are our future. Take the tools for life you have learned here in Monroe County schools and teach them to the world. It will be a better place to live because of each and every-one of you.

To our eighth graders moving on to high school - look towards those who have been successful and if pos-sible for you - emulate their successes as they have blazed the way.

To the Class of 2013 and the Class of 2017, in the words of a former Paris R-II valediction, “try everything - sports, clubs, classes and ac-tivities.” Sooner or later you will find that niche that will help guide you into your fu-ture. You may not find it in your next step or even the

next, but find it you will.To the local community

- thank you. Thank you for always being there to help these young adults mature and grow. Thank you to the many mentors like Chuck Brazeale and Richard Fred-rick who take the time, when asked, to help our young adults with anything pre-sented.

Thank you to leaders such as Dea Nobis and Erin Gruber who champion our sports programs and lead the all important sports booster club to the betterment of our students.

Thank you to our admin-istrators - Scott Salmons, Carol Hall, Fred Weibling and Chris Johnson for their leadership. Thank you to our principals for your guidance and direction.

Thank you to our teach-ers and support staff! You are the ones in the trenches day in and day out that help make that difference. The students may not recognize that difference today or to-morrow but they eventu-ally will and will look back and say it all began with my teachers...

Last but not least in any stretch of the imagination, thank you to the families of these dynamic young men and women. It was your guidance, love and support that molded them into those graduates and eighth graders facing us today.

Good luck!!!Have a great week...

As the Missouri legisla-ture approaches its statutory conclusion on May 17, there will not be a long list of sig-nificant legislation passed. There may yet be action on a needed revision of the state’s criminal code, but it is a long shot at this point.

You would think that our Representatives and Senators, especially with a veto proof majority of Republicans in charge, would come up with a long list of important legisla-tion this year. Instead, much of the time spent in Jefferson City focused on prevention of state and local officials from doing their normal jobs or from passing ordinances that various state lawmakers did not agree with or support. When St. Louis and St. Louis County passed laws to give homeowners in their areas about to be foreclosed a way to mediate and have a chance to keep their properties, the legislative response on behalf of the poor banks and savings and loan lenders was to offer laws that prevented cities and counties from passing such laws and ordinances.

Then the legislature passed the really important law that now prevents Missouri courts from using foreign laws that violate either the state or U.S. Constitution. DUH. And

who would decide if they did violate either constitution? You guessed it, the courts. Other state laws were offered to prevent law enforcement or other state officials from cooperating with Federal law or executive orders that don’t agree with legislative leader’s political views, more than one of these attempts will not comply with the Supremacy Clause which favors federal over state laws and the spon-sors know this but offer un-constitutional bills anyway.

One of my favorites is the recent passage of SB265 which bar state or local of-ficials from adopting any policies of “Agenda 21”, a non binding United Nations agreement signed by most countries which encourages environmentally sound de-velopment around the world. This was signed in the early 90’s and now there is concern by sponsor Lyle Rowland of Cedarcreek that it may ad-versely affect property rights in Cedarcreek and elsewhere.

We could just either se-cede from the United States and be done with it or go back to naming Missouri’s official gnat or flea and waste our legislative sessions that way.

Shari Lawson Named Principal at Ridgeway Elementary

It has been an-n o u n c e d that long t i m e R idge way E l e m e n -tary School t e a c h e r , Shari Law-son, will take over as principal next school year. She has been a teacher in this system

for 20 years and is dedicated to student learning as well as shared decision mak-ing.

Assisting in the selection of Shari as principal, the board included input from faculty and the school’s Parent Teacher Student Association. The Columbia Board of Education will have final ap-proval of the decision. Prior to her selec-tion as a candidate for principal, she was the teacher representative to the board.

Her experience as teacher at Ridgeway set her apart. She is specifically experi-enced with Ridgeway’s unique method of teaching known as individually guid-ed education, or IGE, which focuses on teaching students as they progress at their own level instead of following a strict grade-by-grade curriculum.

Board President Grant Scott stated, “We felt absolutely nobody else could come in with her expertise on the IGE philosophy and provide proper leader-ship for the school”.

Shari stated that after her years at Ridgeway, “I like the families, I like the atmosphere, and I like the style of teaching we do. I am looking forward to working with each and every child, par-ent, and staff member.”

One of her goals includes making sure staff members have a better understand-ing of individually guided teaching.

Shari is the wife of Ewell Lawson and their children are Joe and Katie Law-son. She is the daughter of Ann Lauren-son and the late Robert Laurenson, and daughter-in-law of Floyd and Dian Law-son.

MoDOT to begin mowing

roadsidesMoDOT crews will

begin mowing roadsides across Northeast Mis-souri and many places all over the state. The goal is to complete the mowing of all state roads to pro-vide good visibility at in-tersections and a pleasant though not manicured appearance, weather and ground conditions per-mitting.

Here’s the mowing plan for the Northeast District:

Drivers will see trac-tors and protective “fol-low” trucks mowing along busy freeways and expressways.

Mowing operation will then move to rural two-lane roads in the 17-county Northeast area with tractors and protec-tive “follow” trucks.

State routes on high-ways and streets through cities, smaller towns and suburban areas also will be mowed.

Tractors and “follow” trucks will be on the road Monday through Thurs-day and some Fridays each week throughout the summer. In most areas, tractors will make one pass, making cuts of six feet to 15 feet wide, de-pending on terrain and obstructions.

Between mowing cy-cles, motorists who see grass and weeds blocking visibility at road or street intersections along state roads should call MoDOT, and workers will respond and cut away the visual ob-struction. For more infor-mation contact MoDOT’s Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MoDOT (275-6636).

Madison Lioness award annual scholarship

Madison C-3 Board of Education finalizes purchase of “Arena.”

The Madison Lioness met on Tues-day, May 7, at the Pizza Hut in Moberly at 6:30 p.m., with 13 members present. Karen Forsyth and Gail Thomas were hostesses. President Karen Thomas called the meeting to order and led the pledge to the flag.

President Karen had received schol-arship applications and they were re-viewed. It was decided to award the scholarship to Stanley Wright, the son of member Sara Wright. The alternate will be Jessica Stoebe.

Minutes of the previous meeting were read by Secretary Kathy McCoy, and the treasurer’s report was given by Treasurer Karen Forsyth.

Kathy gave a report on the Club’s fund-raising Pampered Chef party. Sev-en members attended with others pur-chasing, and total sales were $1430.75. Five members did not participate. A check for 10% of sales plus a donation

from Consultant Toni Monsen was pre-sented to the club treasurer at this meet-ing. A total of $315 of free merchandise was also received. This is divided into three groupings with each group valued at approximately $100. Chances will be sold on these three groupings with the first winner drawn receiving choice of the groups, second winner drawn re-ceiving second choice, and third winner drawn receiving the last group. Chances will be sold at the Lions Club Memorial Day barbeque and at Fun Days, on June 15, possibly giving them away at Fun Days. Kathy distributed copies of the three groupings to each member, and President Karen distributed the raffle tickets.

The hostess gift was won by Karen Thomas, and the traveling prize by Connie Nichols. Hostesses next month will be Mary Jane Spurgeon and Karla Salmons.

The Madison C-3 Board of Education met in regular session on Wednesday, May 8, at 8:15 p.m., in the Superinten-dent’s office. Approval was given to the agenda and consent agenda items. Con-sent agenda items included the special and regular meeting minutes of April 10, 2013, the Zero Teacher Fund trans-fer, the April 2013 treasurer’s report and authorization was given for payment of invoices.

Citizens communications were heard which included representatives of the senior class who presented a brief pre-sentation regarding their recent senior trip. Trisch Vessar then gave the Princi-pal’s report. Topics included curriculum, attendance/enrollment data, discipline data and good news. Fred Weibling presented the Superintendent’s report, which included the academic honors banquet, commencement exercises, bus repairs and board training dates.

Sealed bids for summer mowing were opened with approval going to the lowest bidder. One sealed bid was received for facility remodeling. The Board rejected the bid. Bidding will remain open until the June board meeting and the Board

requested that the room remodel and the security door be bid as separate projects. One sealed bus bid was opened and re-jected.

In accordance with section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, full priced lunch prices were increased 10 cents to $1.70 for the 2013-14 school year.

The board members suspended regu-lar session and entered into executive session pursuant to RSMO 610.021 (2)(3)(13)(1)(6) at 10:23 p.m., and re-entered regular session at 11:18 p.m. During ex-ecutive session, the board members were informed that the closing on the proper-ty known as the “arena” would take place on Thursday, May 9. The board mem-bers, in prior action on March 13, offered the Madison Business Men’s Association $15,000 for the property and that offer was accepted. In other action, the board members offered Holly Bennett a 2013-14 probationary teacher contract. The meeting adjourned at 11:19 p.m.

The Madison C-3 Board of Education will then hold its regular meeting at 7 p.m., on Tuesday, June 11, in the Super-intendent’s office.

Your babysitter uses your car to drive your kids to the swimming pool. Your brother-in-law borrows your car for the weekend. You’ve given them your permission—but what happens if there’s an accident when someone else is behind the wheel of your car?

“Generally it’s not a problem if they’re driving with your consent,” says Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president of Public Affairs and consumer spokesper-son for the Insurance Information Institute. “If it’s an occasional use—say I borrow your car to go pick up milk—and as long as permission has been verbally granted, you’ll typically be covered.”

But borrowing a car under other circumstances, such as in these examples, may not be as clear-cut. (Coverage will depend on your insurer and your par-ticular policy.)

If someone drives your vehicle to perform a job, such as making deliveries or hauling materials, and has an accident, that claim may not be covered be-cause the car was being used for business.

If your adult child doesn’t live with you anymore and you’ve lent him or her your car as a primary transportation, you may not be fully covered if your child hasn’t been named the primary driver on your policy.

Typically, even if the person driving your car has his or her own insurance, your insurance will likely pay damages first if there’s an accident. The driver’s insurance may cover some of the personal injury or medical expenses, and it may supplement your plan if the accident maxes out your coverage.

“When you have someone you employ, such as a nanny or a nurse who will be a regular driver, contact your insurance agent about your coverage,” Salvatore recommends. “He or she may need to be added to your policy.”

Because the policy terms and state laws can vary widely, always contact your insurance agent before loaning out your car—or any other motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle, boat, jet ski, snowmobile, ATV or RV.

“Any time you have a question about your cover-age, call your insurance agent first,” says Salvatore. “You always want to let the insurance company know the circumstances. Get their advice.”

“Don’t be cavalier about lending your car,” adds Salvatore. “If you know someone isn’t a good driver, think twice about giving your permission. Any ac-cident they’re in could go on your insurance record.”

Contact your State Farm® agent to learn more about your auto coverage.

Saturday, May 25 is designated as National Missing Children Day

Every year on May 25, Missourians are asked to remember the children who stare back from the posters of the missing. These are the faces of children who have been stolen from their families, run away from their fami-lies, or have been aban-doned by their families. Regardless of the reason, these missing youth are in danger every day. It is the goal of National Missing Children’s Day to bring public attention to the growing problem of miss-ing children.

President Ronald Rea-gan first proclaimed Na-tional Missing Children’s Day on May 25, 1983. It now serves as an annual reminder to Missouri and the nation that everyone can play a part in bring-

ing a missing child home, and in preventing the oc-currence of future miss-ing children. All Missouri citizens are encouraged to drive with their head-lights on throughout the day on May 25, to “light the way home” for our missing youth. The wear-ing of a white ribbon also symbolizes the continued fight to return children safely home.

In 2012, 5,561 children were reported missing to Missouri law enforcement agencies. These missing reports included run-aways, family abductions, and non-family abduc-tions. At the end of 2012, 91 of these children were still missing. Thus far in 2013, there have been 1,966 children reported missing, 1,787 of which

have been located.The Missouri Missing

Persons Clearinghouse reminds all parents and guardians to talk to chil-dren about child safety issues as a pro-active ap-proach to curbing child abduction. In the same manner as reminding children to look both ways before crossing the street, children should be reminded often to follow these safety rules:

CHECK FIRST: Check first with a trusted adult before going anywhere or accepting anything from anyone.

TAKE A BUDDY: Nev-er go alone; always take a friend. If a child MUST go somewhere alone, remind them to call before leav-ing, stay on a protected path, and check in upon arrival.

SAY NO: Know that it is OK to say, “NO!” Teach children to tell a trusted adult if something makes them scared or uncom-fortable.

BE SAFE: Remind children they always have the right to stay safe.

Parents and guardians should have an emergen-cy child identification kit. To create a child identifi-cation kit at home, sim-ply place a quality pho-tograph, such as a school picture, in a file with up-to-date information out-lining the child’s height, weight, date of birth, hair color, eye color, guard-ian information, address, and distinguishing fea-tures such as scars, moles, glasses, braces, etc. Since

children grow quickly and change a lot, the in-formation should be up-dated at least once a year. The Patrol’s Missing Per-sons Clearinghouse has a Child ID System, which can be taken to schools, health and safety fairs, and civic meetings upon request to make free, wal-let-sized child ID cards for parents.

Two critical tools in the fight against missing chil-dren are the Amber Alert Program and the Mis-souri Endangered Persons Advisory. The mission of the Amber Alert Program is to develop and coor-dinate the efforts of law enforcement, the media, and transportation in or-der to increase public par-ticipation in safely recov-ering abducted children through targeted educa-tion, increased commu-nication, and effective sharing of resources. In 2012, two statewide Am-ber Alerts were issued for six missing children, and all six of those children were recovered safely. The Missouri Endangered Persons Advisory was es-tablished in 2007, to pro-tect missing persons who might not fall under the strict criteria established by the Amber Alert Plan.

For more information on child safety and Am-ber Alerts, or if you would like a child ID presenta-tion at your local event, please contact the Missing Persons Clearinghouse at (573) 526-6178, or online at www.mshp.dps.mo.gov.

Greetings from Faith-Walk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor

Morning worship ser-vice began at 10:30am

“Oh Lord How Excel-lent” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate

Scripture read by Bro. Thompson – Luke 18: 22-26

“Just Want to Praise You” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Offering (Seed Planting) was directed by Minister Ballenger. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustain-ing Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.”

“Nobody Greater” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “By Faith In the Gospel the Just Shall Live”

Romans 1:16-17: Have faith in the gospel of Christ, which is God re-vealed in Jesus Christ. If you believe the gospel it will deliver you.

You are saved from the past and the penalty of the past; saved from

the power of sin, in the present; and saved from the presence of sin in the future. This is good news (gospel)!

You can “live” victori-ously in every situation in your life by faith. “Live” –means to breathe, to be nourished, preserved, re-stored; to recover, main-tain, persist, and endure.

Galatians 2:20-21: Your fleshly nature is crucified daily and the life you pres-ently live is lived by faith.

Galatians 3:6-11: Be-cause he believed God, Abraham’s faith alone made him righteous, not any works he did.

In verse 7-if we have faith we are the children of God.

You are either a child of God or a child of the devil-Genesis 3:15.

Acts 16:16-40: Verse 25 – people who live by faith in God, praise God in ev-ery situation.

Verse 26 - when bad situations happen sud-denly, God can bring an immediate response if you have faith.

Verse 37 – God will rectify wrongs against you when you walk by faith.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wed. - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

The Madison Grace United Methodist Church held worship Sunday, May 12, which was Mother’s Day.

Please forward names to Brenda Coffman. Vacation Bible School is scheduled for Saturday evening, August 17, and Sunday morning, August 18.

Jesus brings new life and hope on earth and in heaven. Come as you are to get close to God and learn about following Je-sus in our informal wor-ship service. We worship together at 11 a.m. the first, third and fifth Sun-days. (Upcoming dates: May 19, June 2, 16 and 29). Sunday School for all ages is held every week at 10 a.m., followed by com-munion on Sundays when there is no worship ser-vice.

On Mother’s Day, the congregation of Hol-liday Christian Church gathered for worship and welcomed special guests – numerous family mem-bers of Gene and Sandy Carter, Phil and Sally Blakemore and Pete and Margaret Olney. Follow-ing the prelude by Jane Akers, organist, all were welcomed by Reverend David Holmes. To honor the ladies, each was pre-sented with a geranium.

Happy birthday was sung to Zelmajo Ragsdale, Julie Kendrick, Jackson Powell, Trinity McMor-ris, Michael Blades, Gus Griffith and in memory of Nora Lee Smith. Happy 37th anniversary wishes were for David and Lysa Holmes.

The opening hymn, “Faith of Our Mothers”, was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”. Prayer concerns were ex-pressed for: Becky Dun-lap, Mike Mallory, Susan Duncan, Beverly Wan-drey and Bob Wisner. Sympathy was extended to Vic Hultz and his fam-ily upon the death of his brother, Martin. Berna Kotsenburg shared the joy of a beautiful wedding for Ashlyn Whelan and Brian Vaughn.

“Something for Thee” was the prayer hymn sung; moments of medi-tation followed as a final verse was played. Pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer fol-lowed.

The communion hymn, “This Do In Remem-brance of Me”, was sung as elders, Jerry Ragsdale and Phil Blakemore, went for-ward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Serving as deacons were: Mike McLaughlin and Nellis Kotsenburg. After sharing of commu-nion and collection of of-fering, pastoral prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

Reverend Holmes’ mes-sage on this Mother’s Day was fittingly “A Tribute to Mothers”. Several scrip-tures were referenced; those included Romans 16:13, Ephesians 6:1-3, 2 Timothy 1:5 and several passages from Proverbs. The closing hymn, “He Hideth My Soul”, was fol-lowed by prayer and sing-ing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Immediately follow-ing services, the monthly congregational meeting was called to order by Chairman Gerald Rob-erts. Minutes of the April meeting were approved as read by Secretary Mary McMorris. Jane Akers presented financial re-ports for April which were also approved. With no other business to dis-cuss, the meeting was adjourned on motion by Jerry Ragsdale.

Services are held each Sunday at Holliday Chris-tian Church beginning with worship services at 9:30 a.m., followed by Bi-ble Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome to attend.

Women of the church were honored with a breakfast at 8 a.m. They were served biscuits and gravy, eggs, pancakes muffins and fruit. During the service they received key rings with a daisy and the inscription, “Grow in Grace”, 2nd Peter 3:18. The pastor gave the Mother’s Day Recognition and the prayer for mothers. Nine of the children’s choir sang, “He’s Got the Whole World”, led by Mary Treat and Barbara Stewart.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was entitled “Sarah: A Moth-er’s Faith” from Hebrews 11:11. Faith does not lose its power even when we doubt. God made Abra-ham and Sarah into a great nation. Faith con-nects us where we are and the struggle of faith affects all of us. In our faith we should be like Sarah by connecting the circum-stance to the power of God which covers every-thing. We can trust God. Sarah believed God was able to accomplish every-thing. With God nothing is impossible. Our faith doesn’t have to be perfect.

weekly events are at the usual time.

June 22 and Sunday, June 23. Watch for infor-mation about upcoming fundraisers prior to the relay itself.

Also coming up soon is the memorable Survivor Reception! The Relay For Life of Monroe County Survivor Reception will be held Sunday, June 2, at the Paris Library. The lun-cheon will begin at 12:30 p.m. The Relay For Life of Monroe County Organiz-ing Committee would like to have ALL cancer sur-vivors of Monroe County attend and bring a family member or friend with them to the always-pop-ular meal and fellowship event.

“Let us celebrate your courage and strength together,” said Relay Committee Member Ali Rentschler. For more in-formation call 660-676-5441.

According to the American Cancer Society - one person can make a difference. Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which be-gan in Tacoma, Wash. In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorec-tal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Can-cer Society office and to show support for all of his patients who had battled cancer.

He decided to person-ally raise money for the

fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.

In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Taco-ma. He ran for more than 83 miles.

That first year, near-ly 300 of Dr. Klatt’s friends, family, and pa-tients watched as he ran and walked the course. Throughout the night, friends donated $25 to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer.

While circling the track those 24 hours, Dr. Klatt thought about how others could take part in his mission to fight can-cer. He envisioned a 24- hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Over the next few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event, known as the City of Des-tiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.

In 1986, with the help of Pat Flynn – now known as the “Mother of Relay” – 19 teams took part in the first team Relay event on the track at the historic Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescrib-able spirit prevailed at the track and in the tents that dotted the infield.

Miranda Billings makes another donation to Locks of Love

Miranda Billings, age 7, daughter of Joey and Dana Billings, Paris, donated another 10+ inches of her hair to Locks of Love. This is the 2nd time that Mi-randa has donated her hair to the Locks of Love organization. So in all she has donated 20+ inches of hair.

“I just want to help kids’ with cancer that have lost their hair,” said Miranda.

Kelli Wade cut Miranda’s hair. Locks of Love is a public non-profit

organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical

hair loss from any diagnosis. They meet a unique need for children by using do-nated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses they pro-vide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

•• DID YOU KNOW? ••Who Directs Our Children’s Education?

The Federal Government has by-passed the Missouri legisla-ture as well as parents and tax payers and has coerced the states to common standards for our public schools, sight un-seen.

The Common Core Standards have been advertised as volun-tary and state-led. This is a myth. This can be described as an initiative to adopt a common set of academic standards for all states in the Country. A standard is a goal or guideline for stu-dents to achieve certain benchmarks for a given grade level.

“Race To the Top” required states to commit to these standards by Aug. 2, 2009. Grant money would be denied if a state did not make this commitment. Phase I applications were started in November 2009 with a due date of Jan. 9, 2010. The first draft was not released until March of 2010. The states did not have an opportunity to review the program. The claim that the program was state led is a falsehood.

Furthermore, the application stipulates that states must accept these standards word for word. Teachers can add up to 15% but cannot take anything away. Any local control over what will be taught will now be taken over by the Federal Government.

There are currently two bills being considered by Missouri House and Senate. House bill 616 completely rejects these stan-dards and has passed the house. The Senate bill, SB210, requires cost estimates and data accountability. The source for this article can be checked at Missouri Coalition Against Common Core and the bills can be read at both Missouri House and Senate websites.

Read next week’s article about how Common Core was adopt-ed and who started the process.

Church. He served in the US Army from 1949 to 1952 and attained the rank of Corporal. He was sta-tioned at Fort Richardson, Alaska and worked in the supply unit. He worked for Hallmark, in Kansas City after graduating and for Hendrick Feed Grinding both before and after be-ing in the service. He then worked for the John Deere Implement Co., in Perry as a mechanic and the soy-bean mill at MFA, in Mex-ico. He then enjoyed own-ing his own hammer mill (portable feed grinding) business from 1966 until 1980 when he had to retire for health reasons. He en-joyed traveling around to local farmers and visiting while grinding their feed. His favorite hobbies were fishing, gardening, play-ing cards and sitting in his easy chair. He loved his home, his children, and all of his grandchildren.

Services for James Abram Booth were held at 11 a.m., Friday, May 10, at Santa Fe Christian Church with Reverend Kenny Sharp officiating. Burial was in South Fork Cem-etery with military honors provided by the Laddonia American Legion Post #510.

Visitation was Thurs-day evening, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Bienhoff Funeral Home, in Perry.

ter. She called home to check on him, he reported back that he was “moping around the dinette,” pin-ing for her return. Another story tells of a track meet in which Mr. Swearengen was focused so intently on Mrs. Swearengen that he missed the turn to receive the baton causing the team to forfeit the race.

Following the sudden death of Claude Hender-son, Mark Swearengen became manager and president of Henderson Produce Company in 1945. With Margaret as his co-pilot Mark guided the company through many innovations, especially the technology of drying eggs. The innovated process made eggs readily avail-able for use without refrig-eration. Eggs could now be easily shipped anywhere in the world. Dried eggs from Henderson Produce Company were sent dur-ing World War II to the front lines of combat and to Allied communities in Europe. For contributions to the war effort, the Hen-derson Produce Company received the Army-Navy “E” Award for 1943, 1944, 1945 and 1946. The first “E” award was a proud moment for Henderson Produce and all company employees who worked so tirelessly during wartime.

After World War II Henderson Produce ex-panded to accommodate cake mixes, baking prod-ucts and albumen, a by-product of the egg dry-ing process. Henderson Produce also added a new

process for the eviscerat-ing and freezing of poultry for sale and shipment to markets around the world. To accommodate the new processes, enlargement of facilities and the building of new ones on both sides of Winter Street. One new building was especially designed for the sale of poultry feeds and products developed by the company and marketed under the brand name, Uwanta.

Henderson Produce’s activities included the brokering of live poultry, processing of liquid eggs, dried whole eggs, yolks, whites, and the market-ing of Uwanta agricultural products. In 1962 the com-pany was sold to Seymour Foods, Inc. of Topeka, Kan.

Swearengen attended Stephens College in Co-lumbia and graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Education. She taught kin-dergarten in Monroe City when it was privately oper-ated by the Mothers Club. She served on the Monroe City Board of Education for many years, among the first women to serve on the board. She was honored as an 80-year member of PEO, Chapter H, she held many chapter offices in-cluding president.

Swearengen was well known and admired in Monroe City. She was an active member of the Monroe City Christian Church and she often hosted her bridge club in her home. The Swearen-gens were members of the Hannibal Country Club

where friends surrounded them. Among her family she was nicknamed “Little M.A.” the name reflected her small stature and com-manding presense. She knew what she liked and what she did not stating, “Well, somebody’s got to be the chief: I am.”

She is survived by two children, Mark Arnold (Gertrud) Swearengen, of Chesterfield, Va., and Elizabeth (Betty Louis) Sheppard, of Memphis, Tenn.; six grandchildren and their spouses, Anita Elizabeth Swearengen, of Breckenridge, Colo.; Suzanne Marina (Shawn Morgan) Swearengen, of Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Eliza-beth Sheppard (Mark) Hurley of New York and Chicago; Eleanor Shep-pard (Bill) Wilson, of St. Louis; Margaret Sheppard (Ed) Apple, of Memphis, Tenn. and Lee Calvin (Jes-sica) Sheppard III, of Mem-phis, Tenn.; and six great grandchildren, Elizabeth Henderson Apple, Edward Lee Apple, III, Walter Em-mett Sheppard and Elea-nor Margaret Sheppard of Memphis, Tenn. and Mark MacMillan Wilson and Samuel Louis Wilson, of St. Louis.

A memorial service was held at 11 a.m. on Satur-day, May 11, at the Mon-roe City Christian Church. The Rev. Steve Goughnour officiated. A family burial service at St. Jude’s Cem-etery preceded the memo-rial service.

The Garner Funeral Home and Chapel were in charge of arrangements.
