The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation will take applications for winter utility assistance from qualifying families and individuals starting Nov. 1.

Applications for senior citizens and the disabled started Oct. 1, and will continue.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, com-munity health and public hous-ing Community Action Agency. NECAC contracts with federal, state and local governments, pri-vate businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population. The agency’s Central Admin-istration Offices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers operated in each county.

Eligibility for energy assistance is based upon income, the num-ber of people per household and the type of heating source.

This program is funded 100 percent with federal funds re-ceived from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS) provided by the Missouri Department of Social Services, Family Support Division, which then contracts and monitors the local administration of the pro-gram to non-profit groups such as NECAC. All 19 Missouri Community Action Agencies are contracted to administer the pro-gram throughout the state.

The program pays part of the utility bills of income-qualifying people. Applications will be ac-cepted by mail and in person from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays at NECAC Service Centers in each county.

“We know that there’s a lot of need out there, especially at this time of the year,” said Linda Fritz, NECAC emergency servic-es supervisor. “We urge people to take advantage of the assistance offered by this program.”

People who receive a utility shut-off notice also may qualify for assistance through the En-ergy Crisis Intervention Program (ECIP). Each energy assistance qualifying household can get up to $800 to pay overdue utility bills through ECIP.

The United We Pray Event was held on Thursday, Oct. 25, in the City Auditorium.

Reverend Bob Cavanaugh, from Mt. Airy Baptist Church, opened the evening with a greet-ing and related the theme of the evening 2 Chronicles 7; 14 to the approximate 100 people in atten-dance, some as far away as King-dom City. He asked for those in attendance to stand for the sing-ing of “How Great Thou Art,” led by Hazel Kinder, of Hazel Kind-er’s Lighthouse Theatre.

The opening prayer of the eve-ning was presented by Ronnie Fields of St. Frances Cabrini Church. Following the prayer Lloyd Miller from the Paris American Legion led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance fol-lowing which the Star Spangled Banner was performed by Billie Jo Hatton.

Miller then returned to the po-dium to give a brief history of the Star Spangled Banner which was written by Frances Scott Key during the War of 1812. He then read the 4th verse, not known by most people.

Rev. Kenny Sharp, of Santa Fe Christian Church, was next and proceeded to talk about the first section of 2 Chronicles 7:14 which reads “If my People called by God’s Name.” He told the group we need to pray that God will guide our leaders, our teach-

ers, and our law enforcement He stated that prayer needs to start with us because we love God! We need to change ourselves so we can show love to the nation.

Reverend David Charlick, of Paris, then spoke on the section of the verse that reads” Humble themselves, pray and seek my face.” He stated that we have to admit we all need God’s help. He told the story of Moses on Mt. Sinai.

Billie Jo Hatton performed the song “ Pray”, leaving many wet eyes in the audience during those moments.

Rev. Wesley Hammond, from the Paris Baptist Church reflect-ed on the meaning of the next part of the scripture, “turn from their wicked ways”. The rever-end made it apparent that it is our

duty as individuals to turn from our own wicked ways before we can ask for God’s help. He relat-ed the story given to the children of Israel when they dedicated King Solomon’s temple in Israel. For the Glory of God to fill the temple the Lord’s people need to turn from wickedness. The Lord promised that if the Glory of God left the temple he would give his people a chance to respond and turn from their wicked ways. Two hundred years later the glo-ry left the temple and 100 years of wrath followed which was carried out by armies against the Lord’s people. He reflected that America has received the bless-ing of the Lord. For the Lord to answer the prayers for our nation, the Lord must live in the hearts

APPEAL

90 Years Ago Oct. 27, 1922

S SAll yesteryears are reprinted

in the exact text of the original issueU.S. Senate Should be an easy choice between current Senator Claire McCaskill

and Representative Todd Akin. McCaskill is a moderate who took aim at waste and earmarks in government Akin has not much of a record or reputation in Congress and has taken far right positions on help for students and seniors. His own party and most Missouri Republicans opposed his continuing in this race. They were right. Sometimes we have to oppose or skip the name of one in our own party because they have just gone too far. Many of us cast a very painful vote for Richard Nixon rather than Senator McGovern in 1972. It is a good test for thinking Republicans to do the same for Mr. Akin this year and vote for the clear choice, Claire McCaskill.

GovernorSeveral qualified Republicans passed on an opportunity to run for

Governor this year. Dave Spence, a total novice, is the nominee who opposes Democratic incumbent Jay Nixon. Nixon has previously been Attorney General and has done a creditable job there as well as during his first term as Governor. Mr. Spence stresses his business experience but has nothing else to recommend him for this critical job and a fat wallet and a degree in home economics don’t make up the difference. Spence reminds me of True Davis who also, some years ago, tried to use his wealth to gain high office with no real experience. It’s Nixon for sure this time.

Lieutenant GovernorSusan Montee, former auditor, Democrat, over incumbent Peter

Kinder who keeps wanting to run for Governor and embarrassing himself. I won’t forget and vote for him later, will you? Montee is my choice.

Attorney General Opportunist incumbent Democrat, Chris Koster, former Republican,

is opposed by novice Ed Martin, Republican, perhaps the worst can-didate for state office after Todd Akin. A not very enthusiastic vote here for Mr. Koster.

Secretary of State No incumbent. Don’t know either candidate. No recommendation.State TreasurerIncumbent Clint Zweifel, Democrat is the easy choice over State

Representative, Cole McNary the Republican. Zweifel has done a good job of handling the State’s investments and has earned an “ex-cellent” rating for his office from the State Auditor. Mr. McNary is just another example of the name recognition game just happening to have the same last name as long time St. Louis County Prosecutor and County Executive Gene McNary.

State Representative District 40 Incumbent Paul Quinn, Democrat, has served three terms and has

done an excellent job of following and having input on important is-sues and his conservative positions on issues fit well in his old and current new district. His opponent, Jim Hansen, is a promising new-comer to the political arena who has run a vigorous and issues orient-ed campaign. Representative Paul Quinn is my choice in this contest.

Statewide Ballot IssuesAmendment 3 Opponents to the much copied Missouri Court Plan continue to try

to infuse politics into the selection of judges by offering unneeded and harmful changes to the Plan.

Vote No on Amendment 3.Proposition AThe State of Missouri has controlled the St. Louis Police Depai

tinent since the Civil War . Thereasons for doing so no longer exist and St. Louis, like all other cit-

ies, should control and pay for its own police department. It is past time for making this change.

Vote Yes on Proposition AProposition B This change would increase the tax on a pack of cigarettes from 17

cents to 90 cents. While the tax on tobacco products is low in Mis-souri, the idea of raising taxes this high on any legal product is the kind of government interference in the marketplace that gives it a bad name. The majority of people addicted to smoking and not smart or strong enough to kick the harmful habit will continue to feed it. It is bad precedent for hiking up taxes on other products. Vote No on Proposition B

Proposition EProhibits the governor from setting up health insurance exchanges

without voter or legislative approval. More games from our legisla-ture. Vote No on Proposition E

Walter H. Howell, just west of Paris, has filed suit against the M. K. & T. and Wabash railroads for $6,650 damages alleged to have resulted from fire caused by sparks from a passing locomo-tive. The fire was on August 20, of this year, while Mr. Howell was away from home. He places a value of $4,000 on the 7 room home destroyed, $2,000 on the household goods, $100 on the contents of the cellar, $350 on the smokehouse and its contents, $150 fro 15 fruit trees and $60 for 6 shade trees.

Today (Thursday) is “work day” for both Junior and Senior high schools. The students are at-tempting to raise $350 to pay for the floor for the new gymnasium and the various classes have been given the following allotments; seniors and post graduates, $55; juniors, $55; sophomores, $100; junior high, $140.

People in Paris and vicinity will in the future, have the same priv-ilege of seeing the same motion pictures at the same time that the people in the big cities do. The Opera House has contracted for Paramount’s famous “41 without an alibi” that has been so exten-sively advertised in the Saturday Evening Post and other great magazines. No other town in northeast Missouri, and few in Missouri outside of St. Louis and Kansas City, will show the same pictures as soon after release.

Holliday principal honored with SBU Life Service Award. Anna Mae Kinder of Moberly received the prestigious Life Service award from Southwest Baptist University at a special ceremony as part of the Univer-sity’s Homecoming celebration October 23. Mrs. Kinder and five other alumni received Life Ser-vice Awards.

In a bizarre story more suited for Ripley’s believe It or Not than the woods of Monroe County, a buck deer has been blamed for a fire last Thursday night.

The odd tale began about 5:15 p.m. last Thursday when Mark Twain Lank manager Denny Foss was traveling on Route U near Florida and noticed smoke com-ing from a wooded area. Foss re-ported the possible fire to Mark Twain State Park superintendent Rick Johnson, who notified the Perry Fire Department.

Using backpacks, the dozen men quickly brought the blaze under control. About five acres

The Industrial Development Committee at Paris met Monday evening and discussed further plans for work to be done in con-nection with securing a garment plant for Paris.

Children dressed in Halloween costume called on homes in Paris Tuesday night collecting money for UNICEF (United Nations In-ternational Emergency Fund) for their churches of Paris. Collec-tions of all the churches totaled $141.55.

Mayor Reed, the city council, officials of the Red Cross organi-zation and all citizens are being asked by the government to as-sist the postal department in the taking of the unemployment cen-sus, which will be undertaken in a few days throughout the United States. Cards will be distributed to everyone through the postal department here and in other cit-ies and everyone receiving such a card is being urged this week by Mayor Reed, through a proc-lamation in this issue of the Ap-peal, to promptly fill out and re-turn to cards to the postmaster.

The government will lend 50c a bushel on all corn that grow-ers may desire to crib and hold for the future. This action puts a crimp in those who were expect-ing to buy the 1937 crop at 40c or less. Conditions may cause those who have it under Govern-ment seal can sell it and pocket the difference. The Government loan value is a guarantee that it will not go below 50c.

The formal laying of the corner-stone for the new Government building at Paris will be done by the Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri, Saturday, under the direction of Past Grand Master James W. Skelly of St. Louis, who will deliver the principal ad-dress.

Although the building is now ready for occupancy, the corner stone has been left unlaid pend-ing the convenience of Govern-ment and Masonic officials who wished to participants in laying it.

Dear Editor,Will America sink like the Titanic? Have you ever wondered how

great empires could suddenly fall and crumble into non existence? America is a lot like the Titanic. Most Americans are like the pas-sengers on that great ship believing that nothing can ever happen to our great nation, just like those passengers believed that the Titanic was ‘unsinkable’. America has hit an iceberg called financial disaster; our own greed and immorality steered our great country toward that crash.

America is now beginning to sink like the Titanic! Will you be one of the passengers sent back to their cabins and told not to worry you will be fine? Will you be like some of those passengers lied to who didn’t get all the facts? Will you be one of the passengers who ig-nored the facts blinded by their belief that nothing could ever hap-pen to the ship, it was unsinkable? Will you be the one concerned about trivial items like on which side of the life boat would the dog ride while ignoring the fact the ship is sinking now? Will you be one of the passengers that never listened to the instructions for survival and never bothered to put on that life jacket that was offered? Our churches warned Americans how to live and treat each other, but we have reached a point in time when we have thrown God out of our lives, thinking that the moral rules of life don’t apply to us. Many Americans feel it no longer matters if they lie or cheat others to get ahead; morality and God are no longer important.

Eastern Crappie Club donates $13,000 to Monroe County Cancer Supporters

I can re-member an Oprah show I saw quite some years

ago that was about women who had spent

A LOT of money to make their dream wedding a reality. The inter-esting thing about this show was that each of the women who had spent gobs and gobs of money on their wedding were no longer mar-ried. Then to top it off most them were still paying the wedding off even though they were no longer married. They had used their credit cards to make their dream wedding come to fruition but the only thing they had to show for it now was a bill and a lot of unhappiness. I can-not imagine how hard it must been for the ladies to write those checks out month after month knowing they were no longer with the man they had shared that day with.

Sometimes we focus on the wrong things. Sometimes we spend more time, energy and money on the preparation of the wedding day than we do on our actual marriage. We can spend five, ten, fifteen thousand on the wedding day then won’t even fork out a twenty to take our spouse on a date. I think it is so important for a husband and wife to have a date night. It doesn’t have to some elaborate, expensive, well-planned out event (even though I’m sure no spouse would complain if you wanted to have one of those). It can be taking a ride or a walk together. It can be sitting out on the deck and play-ing cards or watching a movie to-gether. As long as we get to spend some quality one on one time with our spouse it really doesn’t matter what we do.

Isn’t it funny how we can give

hours upon hours of our time and attention in making sure every de-tail is just right on that special day but then once the knot is tied and years start to pass, we have a hard time finding an hour or two to give to our spouse. We try and justify it by saying we are tired or it is hard to find the time now that we have kids. We always seem to find a reason (or excuse) for not being able to spend that much needed time with our spouses. Sometimes it takes one of us coming out of our comfort zone and initiating the conversation even though we don’t feel like it. Loving someone is a choice and loving someone re-quires action even when we don’t feel like it.

Just like everything else in life, marriage has its ups and it has its downs. We have days when we have to push through even though we don’t feel like it but then we also have days when things run smooth and with ease. We have days when have lots of love, hugs and kisses to give out and then we have days when we can hardly look at our spouses’ face because they have made us so mad. We have days when we enjoy talking to one another so much that we don’t even realize three hours have passed. Then we have other days when we struggle to get even a ten minute conversation in amidst our hectic schedules.

Marriage truly is a gift and it doesn’t matter how expensive and beautiful the wrapping paper is or how big the bow is on top because the paper will get torn and the bow will get taken off but the gift we are blessed to share with is our spouse that can last a lifetime if we so choose!!

On Aug. 4, 2012 Eastern Missouri Crappie Club held the fourth annual Jack & Jill “Catch Crap-pie for the Cure” fishing tournament at Mark Twain Lake. 65 boats entered the tournament. Following the weigh-in a BBQ and live auction were held. A Cardinal Baseball ticket raffle, silent auction and 50 -50 drawing were also held. Crappie Masters pro-

vided their weigh-in trailer and announced the anglers as they weighed in their fish. The live auction was called by Jack Bodine. 154 Marine provided the event site. Sarah and Jesse Shoe-make won the event with a weight of 6.70 lbs.

The event grossed over $24,000. After expenses were paid, Eastern Mis-souri Crappie Club distrib-uted $21,000 to Relay for

Financial literacy—an understanding of credit, bank-ing, savings and more—offers you the tools and infor-mation you need to improve your financial health and wellbeing. Here are just a few of the things that’ll be easier once you have it:

Establishing a budget. If you don’t know where all your money goes each month, you’re not alone. Find out how to create a budget and stick to it. It’s a funda-mental step in money management.

Managing debt. Carrying some debt is normal, but too much debt can overwhelm your budget. Learn how to address your most expensive debt areas, particularly paying off high-interest credit cards.

Buying a home. A home is the single biggest purchase most people make in their lifetimes. Find out how to save for a down payment, obtain financing and under-stand the details of a mortgage so you can make the best decision about this major investment. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development offers information for potential buyers on its site.

Saving money. Whether you’re 16 or 60, knowing the best ways to save money will help you achieve your goals. Learn about basic savings accounts, retirement accounts, and how to make compounding interest work for you. Start with basic banking tips from CNNMon-ey’s Money 101 series.

Getting a loan. Whether you’re going back to school, buying a car or remodeling a room, you might need to take out a loan. How much can you really afford to borrow? Learn how your credit report has an impact on the availability and cost of a loan, and how to fit loan payments into your budget.

Planning for emergencies. We’ve all been faced with expenses that can’t be put off―the car needs a new transmission or the plumbing needs more extensive work than you were expecting. Find out how to plan ahead for these unwelcome surprises and keep your budget intact.

Paris Full Gospel Fellowship Pastor Terry Davison

Sunday, Oct. 28: the sixth chapter of Joshua tells the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho. The Israelites stood before the fortified city, which looked ominous and foreboding. In that day, walls were constructed to prevent pillaging raids: they were a source of security for those inside. But in this scenario, the Israelites struck fear in the hearts of the citizens of Jericho as God told Joshua that the city would fall to them. They had but to follow God’s simple instructions for six days, and on the seventh, the walls would fall.

This literal event teaches us much about our walk of faith. Had the Israelites failed to muster the strength to stand before the fortified enemy, there would have been no victory. Had the enemy not felt fear from the begin-ning, the walls may not have fallen: giving us much need-ed lessons for our lives today. We must face our own well fortified enemy: whether it be fame, fortune, sin, or man. We must muster spiritual strength, and heed the Apos-tle Paul’s words, as he said, “I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.” We must realize that in and of ourselves, we are but feeble souls, but through God’s redeeming power, we can conquer the enemy, sin, within and without.

The annual Granville Halloween party and hayride was last Saturday night. Fifty-five people attended. We thank all who helped with the event.

Next Sunday is Granville’s annual Memorial Sunday and dinner. We will remember two of our members who passed away this year, as well as celebrate the lives of oth-er friends and family we have lost throughout the years. Sermon title: Generation to Generation.

We are planning a youth work camp mission trip next summer.

We are still seeking names of soldiers in the combat zone in order to send a care package. Please forward names to Brenda Coffman.

Come share the presence of God in our informal wor-ship service. We worship together on the first, third and fifth Sundays of the month at 11 a.m. (Upcoming dates: Nov. 4 and 18). Sunday School for all ages is held every Sunday at 10 a.m.

The Salt Saturday Youth group who attended Festival of Sharing recently gave their program during church ser-vices in place of the sermon. They began their program by reading from Matthew 25:31-46 and Matthew 14:15-21. It was a very rewarding experience for the group and they are hoping to make the trip again next year.

Those mentioned during prayer time were Jennifer Wadell, the Janice Brown family, Keith Woodhurst, Pam Pollock, Jo Reynolds’ coworker (Dana) who has a fam-ily member ill, Bill Miller for his upcoming surgery, Kim Holmes’ friend, Robbie, John, Kayla & Zachary Baker, Grandma Jill, Carol Billet, Anna Spires, the upcoming election, and for those that will be affected by Hurricane Sandy. Good news was for Donnetta Wilkerson’s safe return home from Ireland, Rebecca Riley feeling better after oral surgery, Carol Hagen having a successful sale in STL and being able to visit with her family, and for Jake Peak’s grades at school. Andi Holmes requested travel-ing mercies for her upcoming trip to Texas. Becca Spires thanked everyone for helping her grandparents with the recent crockpot ministry. Pastor Kenny also thanked ev-eryone for helping one of his coworkers with their love offering. Several from our congregation attended the past Thursday night’s program “United We Pray” where Pas-tor Kenny was one of the ministers speaking.

Announcements: Saturday, Nov. 3 - Lord’s Acre Supper and Auction beginning at 5 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 4 - Hymn Sing at the Madison Christian Church, Sunday, Nov. 11 - Salute to the Veterans at the Madison Community Cen-ter. We are now collecting non-perishable items for the Christmas Is Caring project for Monroe County.

Bible study continues every Wed night at 6:30 p.m., (meal at 6 p.m.). Sunday School is every Sunday morning at 9:30 followed by church services at 10:30 a.m.. Please come and join us for the Good News!

On Sunday, Oct. 21, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meet-ings of the week were announced and all were encour-aged to attend. Announcements included a youth accepted Christ after going to the Eternity House at North Park in Moberly last Wednesday. The community prayer service in Paris was a blessing and a thank you to all who came. The Sunday School Attendance Drive was a success with 35 coming. A great time was had by all at the wiener roast and hay ride Saturday night. Do not forget to set your clocks back 1 hour this Saturday night.

This week’s message was titles ‘Righteousness Begins with Real Commitment’ and came from Daniel Chapter 1. From this chapter we can see how God moves in godly faithful lives. Daniel had been exiled to Babylon, had his named changed, taught strange teachings, and was offered food that would defile him before God. With courage, conviction, and courtesy Daniel sought to have only veg-etables and water so as not to eat food unfit for the Jew-ish people. We can see God has already moved ahead of Daniel in giving Daniel favor in the chief eunuch’s mind. Because of God’s movement in a faithful person’s life and Daniel having the conviction to be courageous enough not to defile himself, we can see that God blesses those who have real commitment to Him.

The Sunday, Oct. 28 services at South Fork Presbyte-rian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “Awesome God” on the piano followed by Debbie Carey leading in song to “Victory In Jesus”, “open My Eyes”, “The Light of the World Is Jesus” and “Amazing Grace”. Pastor John Grimmett led the Unison Prayer and prayers for Shirley Thornhill; Bill Cearley; Lea Holeman; Sharon Sweitzer; Pam Pollock; Brian Carey; Patti, Amanda and Abby Grimmett; for the hurricane to stay at sea;Kaylee Beck-man and praise for great travels and the last week hayride and wiener roast. Happy Birthday was sang to Maxine Beuter, Sandy Jackson and Teri Snider followed by the Lord’s Prayer.

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

The message “Now I See!” was based on scripture from Mark 10:46-52, “Jesus is always in the midst of our lives”, just as He was in the life of Bartimaeus, an earthly blind man. and with the faith of mercy, was healed by Jesus, Son of David. With great faith all healing can take place - the world is racing by and not paying attention to those who are in need - Jesus stopped as the crowd was rushing by Bartimaeus to help a blind man. He was not too busy to hear his pleas. With Jesus’ saving grace immediately He transformed him into a man with sight. We need to stop and hear Jesus will -0 throw away the old life and get a new life with faith and love. God cares about you and me! The one who stopped for Bartimaeus will stop for you and for me!

Max Tilt led the offertory as Patti played “Open My Eyes, Lord” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “How Majestic Is Your Name” as all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts.

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

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me... Mark 10:47

of our nation’s people. The only way our nation has hope is if individual people get their own lives right with God so his glory will again be shown across our land (his Temple).

Steve Miller, from Prais-es to Him Ministries, then preformed a spectacularly strong song entitled, “We want America Back.” The song related that we again want a nation that uses the Bible as its conscience. Our nation is like a runaway train headed down the wrong immoral track.

Hazel Kinder then touch-ingly performed the song “I

Need Thee Every Hour”. Rev. Donna Scott, of the

Paris Christian Church brought tears to eyes as she used the story of Corrie Ten Boom to convey the mean-ing of her phrase. “and forgive their sin.” Corrie had been a Nazi prisoner during WW II, and had seen her sister die because of the prison camps. Years later she related her story to a group of people, as she finished the story a man approached her and asked her to forgive him. He had been a Nazi prison guard. He did not recognize her, but she knew who he was.

At that moment she knew that for God to forgive her sins she must first for-give this man who had be-come a Christian. As she touched his hand she felt the warmth of forgiveness run down to her hand.

The final section of the verse, “To heal their land” was revealed touchingly as Rev. Bob Cavanaugh explained to the group that we must TRUST God. God promised if we do all the prior sections of the verse the he would heal our land. We must trust God and walk with him hour by hour because God

is faithful in his promises. God keeps his promises; faithfulness is the nature of God. He explained that the healing of God is brought to Christians through the death of Christ. We how-ever, can’t know the path of God; it took 70 years in exile to keep his promise to the Jewish people.

The evening ended with Hazel Kinder singing “God Bless the USA” and Billie Jo Hatton leading a com-munity sing of “God Bless America”. Reverend Wes-ley Hammond concluded the evening with the clos-ing benediction.

Kole Berrey, Justin Wolfe notch double digit tackles in district play

The Paris Coyotes (3-7) played Knox County in the first round of district play on Friday, Oct. 26. The Coyotes fell 60-0 and saw their 2012 season come to an end.

“This was a tough way to end the season, we kind of took one on the chin,” said Head Coach Gary Crusha. “Knox came out firing on all cylinders and we never could get anything going. They are a good football team who had improved over the course of the sea-son. We will focus on the positives from this sea-son and begin working to improve for next season. We are losing some great seniors, but bring back a good group of underclass-man.”

Offensively, the Coyotes could never get on track while defensively, Kole Berrey and Justin Wolfe again registered double-digit tackles for the hard charging Coyote defense. Passing Kyle Popkes was 1 of 2 before an injury forced Steven Hayhurst back to the passing position. Hay-

hurst was 5 of 12 for 53 yards. Justin Wolfe led the team in receiving with two grabs for 29 yards includ-ing a 22 yard scamper for a Coyote first down. Ground yardage was hard to come by for the Coyotes as they gained 74 yards rushing in 19 carries with Slater Stone and Hayhurst leading the rushing with 7 yards apiece.

Zac Baladenski recovered a fumble and Wolfe regis-tered the team’s lone sack.

were damaged in the fire, which burned mostly un-derbrush.

It was in the later stages of fighting the fire that fire-men discovered the prob-able cause of the blaze, when they happened onto the charred remains of a buck deer and a coyote. Near the two carcasses was a dangling electric wire—a wire which firemen quickly discovered was very much live and dangerous.

Apparently, the ground wire of a two-strand elec-trical service wire had been severed, fallen over the hot wire an dropped to within a foot of the ground.

As luck would have it, the wire was draped across a game trail—a trail used regularly by the resident deer herd.

Superintendent Johnson

speculated that the 8-point buck that was found had accidentally walked into the wire and was instantly killed. Burns on his front leg support that theory. The accident occurred some-time early last week, John-son said.

Found near the buck was a coyote—also apparently electrocuted when he tried to take advantage of what he thought was a free meal of dead deer. Evidently, the fire begun when the coyote was electrocuted, causing a spark which began the fire.

Even more bizarre was the discovery of the remains of at least one other deer, an-other coyote, a buzzard and several small animals near the live wire—all appar-ently electrocuted some-time early in the summer.

danger. We are scheduled to have almost $ 500,000 bil-lion dollars worth of new taxes hit on January 1st because of expiring tax cuts, social security reductions ending, and many other already voted on new taxes ready to start. It is time to realize terrorists do exist, and they threaten the very safety of our nation. The next hours of this ride are going to be very difficult. America is sinking and soon we will have to make the greatest choice of our life. Who can best steer the ship away from additional crashes, be-fore it is too late?

I pray that all Americans are going to be people that head for the life boats with open eyes, looking at everything before they decide how to vote. Most of all I hope that we can be like those heroes who helped their fellow passen-gers, learned the facts, put on their life jackets, and helped to lead others to the boats. America has been blessed by many heroes who have protected our nation honorably. Our votes will decide the future of our nation, its free-dom, and the welfare of our children. I hope the Ameri-can people can act with honor like Tyrone Woods and the other men who sacrificed themselves to save their fellow Americans in Benghazi. We owe all the heroes who die for us everyday to learn all the facts before we vote. It is our duty to be an informed voter, so we can select the best course for our children and our nation. Americans are a community of neighbors who will stand side by side after the election.

Marcie Buckman, Paris

Letter to EditorContinued from page 2

On Saturday, Oct. 27, ten members of the Paris FFA Chapter were raised to the highest FFA degree award-ed by the National FFA Organization – the Ameri-can Degree. This degree is an honor only received by few in the National FFA Organization. Paris FFA had a strong showing of recipients, having more than any other chapter in state. Missouri also held that honor awarding almost twice and many as the sec-ond leading state. Seven of the ten were able to attend Indianapolis, IN for the ceremony.

Graupman Reunion held Sunday, Oct. 28

The James Monroe Chap-ter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution of Paris, Missouri met at 5:30 p.m., on Thursday, Oct. 18, in the Roegge Room of the Dulany Library in Paris for their regular meeting. Those present included Regent Lola Worley, Vice Regent Emma Jo Raines, Parliamentarian Juanitta Turnbough, Recording Secretary Annette Azdell, Treasurer Dorothy Walser, Chaplain Carol Comstock, Registrar /Correspond-ing Secretary Jan Smi-ley Carter, Chyerl Varvil, Sarah Crow, and Mary Beth Mitchell. Guests at the meeting included MS-SDAR Honorary State Regent and NSDAR Past Vice President General Sue Rodgers Vesser from St. Louis, former NE District Director Nancy Thomas from Moberly, prospective members Betty Buckman and Carol Buckman from Monroe City, and Vera Seago. The opening ritu-als and singing of the Star Spangled Banner were led by Regent Worley with the help of Chaplain Com-stock. Recording Secre-tary Azdell presented the minutes of the September meeting and the treasury re-port was given by Treasur-er Walser. New 2012-2014 yearbooks were passed out and Walser continues to collect chapter dues. Betty and Carol Buckman submitted their applica-tions to join NSDAR and those applications will be forwarded to Washington, DC to be researched and quickly approved. Regis-trar Carter announced that Ginger Devine’s papers

have been finalized and she is now an official member of NSDAR.

Chapter members Wor-ley, Carter, Varvil and Comstock gave reports on the VA Home’s ‘thank you’ luncheon they attended on Wednesday, October 17 at the Elks’ Lodge in Mexico. The VA home has contact-ed the chapter for toiletries to be presented as Christ-mas presents to residents in Mexico. Everyone was asked to bring them to the November meeting. Varvil gave a report on the col-lection of hats, scarves and mittens/gloves and other clothing she has accumu-lated to be sent to the DAR schools (Tamassee and Crossnore) as cold weather is upon us.

MSSDAR Honorary State Regent and NSDAR Past Vice President General Sue Rodgers Vesser, originally from Paris but currently living in St. Louis, present-ed an informative program entitled “Men and Women of George Washington’s Military Intelligence Ser-vice.” She recommended a book entitled A Peculiar Service: Intelligence in the Revolutionary War if anyone would like to read more about the oddities of ‘intelligence’ at that time in our history. Dorothy Walser provided refresh-ments for the evening. She also provided a beautiful birthday cake that was a shared birthday celebration for both Worley and Carter.

The November meet-ing will be on Thursday, Nov.15, at the library. Varvil will provide re-freshments and present a program on NSDAR spon-sored schools.

Paris FFA receives three starsShelby Dickey and Brit-

ton Francis represented the Paris FFA Chapter at National FFA Convention by receiving our 3 Star National Ranking. This is the first 3 Star Award the Chapter has ever received. Chapters are ranked na-tionally with 3 Star being the highest Award. Once a chapter has completed the National Chapter Award at the State level and places in the Top 10% it is then sent to Nationals for Rank-ing. This is a huge accom-plishment for the Paris FFA. This has been a goal that the officers have been working to achieve for five years. Congratulations to the Paris FFA Chapter for your success and working to achieve your goals!

The Paris FFA was rep-resented well at National Convention in Indianapo-lis, IN sending 23 mem-bers, 1 State Officer, 1 National Band member, 7 American Degree recipi-ents, 2 Advisors and 12 parents and guests. While at Convention, the mem-bers attended number ses-sions where they were motivated to “Grow” the 2012 National FFA theme. Speakers including Scott Hamilton (retired figure

skater) pushed FFA mem-bers to not settle for what they have achieved; there is more to do and learn both in the FFA and in life. While in Indy the members toured the Indianapolis

Speedway, took in some down town shopping and spent time in the FFA ca-reer show. This was a Na-tional Convention we will soon not forget.

Shelby Dickey and Britton Francis received the Paris FFA Chapter 3-Star Ranking Award. SUBMITTED PHOTO
