For additional Relay information and a luminary form see page 11. According to Monroe County Clerk San- dra Francis her office is in the process of mailing out voter registration cards to all registered voters in the county. The rea- son for mailing new cards is because of State Redistricting and also a polling place change for Monroe City and Indian Creek Voters. Monroe County is now in Congressional District #6, Legislative Districts #5 and #40 and State Senate District #10. State Representative District #5 runs across the Northern part of the county and takes in parts of Monroe Township, Indian Creek Township, Washington Township, Clay Township and Woodlawn Township with a total of 1719 registered voters. The remaining 4262 registered voters in the county are in State Representative District #40. Monroe and Indian Creek Voters will be going to a new polling place beginning with the Aug. 7, 2012 Primary Election and all elections thereafter. VFW Post 4240 in Monroe City, located at 301 S. Lo- cust, will be the polling place for Monroe City Precinct # 1, Monroe City Precinct #2, Monroe City Precinct #3 and Indian Creek #4. Anyone with questions about their dis- trict or polling place please contact the County Clerk’s Office. In the past several months there has been an increase in the number of golf carts and all terrain vehicles being operated on streets in the City of Paris. This item was discussed in length at the Paris Board of Aldermen meeting, on Tuesday, June 5. It was noted that numerous complaints have been received and some citizens have expressed concerns with the safety of the drivers and passengers on these vehicles. Sheriff David Hoffman asked the Mayor and Aldermen, “Do we want to keep ev- erything the same that we have and start enforcing the ordinances or do we go forward and begin to issue permits ($15) coupled with an inspection?” Sheriff Hoffman noted that under the current ordinance 4-wheelers have lim- ited use unless the Aldermen added an in- creased use to a new ordinance. Mayor Jim Buckman noted that the Al- dermen had visited this issue a few years ago. “One of the issues we have is golf carts and motorized wheelchairs going up and down Main Street, which is a state high- way” said City Superintendent Phillip Shatzer. “The operation of these types of vehicles on a state highway is prohibited by state statutes and is not regulated by the city.” Superintendent Shatzer explained that in regards to city streets the City of Paris does have ordinances, which address the operation of golf carts and recreational ve- hicles on city streets. Two of the main pro- visions of the City Ordinances require the operator of golf carts (low-speed vehicles) and recreational vehicles to possess a valid driver’s license and maintain financial re- sponsibility for the vehicles. The opera- tion of recreational vehicles (4-wheelers) is limited to use by a government entity for official use or for agricultural purposes. With a recommendation from Monroe County Sheriff Hoffman, the City of Paris is considering passage of new ordinances concerning the operation of these vehicles (golf carts, 4-wheelers, motorized wheel- chairs, etc.) on city streets. However, the requirements to possess a valid driver’s license, maintain financial responsibil- ity and to operate these vehicles on Main Street is not subject to revision, as the city cannot change a state statute – they can make it tougher but not make it less than the current standards. After discussion, the Mayor and Alder- men agreed that to address concerns for the safety of operators and passengers on these vehicles the ordinances currently in place would be enforced immediately. For information on the operation of these vehicles copies of the city ordinances are available at City Office or you can contact the office of the Monroe County Sheriff at 660-327-4060. Complete coverage of the city meeting will be featured in next week’s Monroe County Appeal. Jacquie Stuart 5K Run/Walk scheduled for county fair A major fundraising effort is underway in the local area to help raise funds to build a barn adjacent to the 4-H Building, at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. This effort is focused on building “Jacquie’s Barn” in tribute and remembrance to the efforts of Jacquie Stuart, a long-time youth advocate and 4-H Youth Education Assistant with University of Missouri – Columbia Exten- sion, who lost her battle to cancer in Janu- ary 2012. In the call to arms to help raise money to fulfill this dream two Madison youth have stepped to the forefront and have or- ganized a 5K Run/Walk, “Give Cancer a Run For Its Money” that will take place on Saturday, July 21, in conjunction with the Monroe County Fair. The event will be- gin with registration at 7:30 a.m., and the walk/race start time is 8:30 a.m. Pre-entry deadline is June 23. Madison C-3 students and Madison 4-H members Lindsey Hendren and Maddison Breid addressed the Paris Board of Alder- men at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 5 to request permission to use the streets of Paris for the event. “We have mapped out the route,” said Ms. Hendren. “All proceeds collected will go to the Jacquie Stuart barn fund,” said Ms. Breid. “The city will provide the barricades for you,” said Superintendent Phillip Shatzer to the organizers. Hendren and Breid gave the aldermen an overview of the event including the route, prizes and time. The organizers noted that prizes would be given to the following: first male run- ner, first female runner, first female youth runner, first male youth runner, first fe- male walker, first male walker, first female youth walker and first male youth walk- er. Other prizes will be available.

What Will We Leave BehindJust a Thought

I attended a fu-neral last week-end that had a huge impact on me. The man who died was only 28 years

old. I did not know him very well but I am very close to some of his family mem-bers. His death left people asking why. His death left people with a void in their hearts. His death left people with unan-swered questions. But after going to the funeral I found out that his death left a lot more than that.

It was very obvious after listening to the remarks from family and friends that his life inspired, encouraged and touched many people. He inspired them through his music and his love of God. He encour-aged them with his smile, his character and his integrity. He touched them with his humor and big heart. It is sad to have such a remarkable man leave this earth so soon but it is also amazing to see such a young man leave so many positive im-prints and inspirations that we who are still here can learn and grow from.

We do not know the day or time when we also will leave this world but hope-fully we too can leave this world a bet-ter place. What imprints are we making in the world? Are we taking time to af-fect the people around us in a positive way through our words, our actions and our giving? Are we working on mend-ing broken relationships so nothing is left unresolved at least not on our part? Are we allowing our lives, our gifts and our talents to make a difference in this world?

No matter who we are or where we have been or what we have done, it is not too late to start today. We each have some-thing special that we can share with oth-

ers. We each have the ability to inspire, encourage and love people we see ev-eryday but we have to make the choice to do so. We need to make the decision that we ARE going to positively affect this world. We need to know that our life DOES matter and that our life WILL make a difference. We need to first see it, then proclaim it, believe it and then live it. Each day we are given is a gift and it is up to us what we do with that gift.

At the funeral there were cards after cards after cards read to us about how this young man touched their lives. Their was a plethora of positive comments and compliments given by loved ones. I thought about how wonderful it was to hear them but also about how wonderful it would be if we could give those same kind of positive comments and compli-ments to the people who are still living in our lives. It’s not that we don’t think those thoughts but sometimes we just don’t get around to telling someone how we feel about them or what they did to encourage or inspire us in a time when we really needed it.

I had a lady at my church tell me one time: “Lisa, whenever you get a nudge to speak a kind word, to give a hug, to do a kind deed or to help meet a need-do it.” She spoke those words to me over 15 years ago and I can still remember them like it was yesterday. I took those wise words and applied them to my life. My actions and words may not have always been received but more times than not they were. I believe if we listen close enough and have a willing heart, we all have those nudges and by acting on those nudges we, like the young man that passed away, can leave a positive impact and make a difference in this world.

Does it seem that some of the fun and pleasure is being squeezed out of mealtimes or snacks? The “Biggest Loser” and Dr. Oz are firmly focused on weight loss and the na-tional problem of obesity is drawing continuing and serious attention.

The escalating health care costs that all of us who pay health insurance premiums see each year also reminds us of the shared costs of obesity as it is reflected in insurance rates. The latest entries into the fight for healthy food and drink are Disney and the City of New York. Disney is holding out for healthy foods being advertised at its parks and on its communications outlets. New York is going after the big cups of sweetened drinks over 16 ounces at stores and events.

In addition more studies have indicated that kids seeing adds for candy and unhealthy foods on television are more likely to eat them as snacks based on the time they spend in front of the set. The likelihood increases with each hour they spend watching programs. Removing those kinds of ads will help but others will have to follow Disney’s example.

Some of New York’s other ideas like requiring food vendors to phase out unhealthy fats and for large food chains to post calorie counts have caught on in other locations around the country.

There will be those who think that government should not regulate in these areas and private businesses like Disney should mind their own business. But marketing unhealthy drinks and food especially to our kids, can cause us and them real damage in the future. A little less fun and pleasure is a small price we should be willing to pay now to avoid a larger cost later.

Just Ask Dave...The crack of the bat and a long fly ball… The

strike out to end the game… The long pass for a final second winning touchdown… The frenzy of players rushing out to meet a walk off hit…

It could be the Cardinals, the Royals, the Rams or Chiefs but in reality the best ticket in town is found at the Monroe County Fairgrounds and on the playing fields and courts of any of our local schools.

They do not play for the money, the fame, the flashy cars and clothes – they play for love of the game and to hone their skills to become a bet-ter player. And dare I say, to have fun with their friends.

I challenge any adult not to wax a little nostalgic watching some of these pint size t-ball’ers at the fairgrounds crush a drive to deep center only to run the wrong way on the bases much to the chagrin of their coaches who do their best to direct them to the proper base.

As they rise in age and experience the games get even more intense, as do the fans. The air becomes electric at a game pitting hometown youth versus hometown youth or even that local rivalry Paris versus Madison - be it pee wee football or high school varsity basketball the stakes are the same - hometown pride.

Youth sports gives a fan just what they pay for – solid competition; sportsmanship; team spirit; effort; and usually a very entertaining game, be it a win or a loss.

Try it a few times and you may visit the Cardinals and Royals a little less and the local gyms or fields a little more. The players will appreciate the crowds, the parents will appreciate the support and the coaches will think it really is Busch or Kauffman stadiums.

On a more somber note, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Nancy Stone who passed away earlier this week.

Nancy was a wealth of historical knowledge bar none. If she did not know some-thing about the history of the county – it maybe was not worth knowing.

Nancy was a can-do lady. When you said, “hey Nancy how about a cemetery walk during Fall-In-To Paris?” She said sure and you knew it would happen.

I do not think I have met anyone in my life that loved and breathed history like Nancy. When people talked history her eyes lit up and she gave you that wry smile to let you know she was listening. She will be missed but I know wherever she is – they are definitely getting a history lesson.

Have a great week…

Nancy Elaine Stone, 65, of Paris, Mo., slipped peacefully away on the evening of Friday, June 8, 2012, at Boone Hospital Center, surrounded by her lov-ing family and friends.

Funeral services were at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 12, at Agnew Funeral Home in Paris, with the Rev. John Grimmett officiating. Visitation was held from 4 to 7

Nancy Elaine Stone 1946-2012

p.m., on Monday, June 11, at the funeral home. Burial was in Walnut Grove Cemetery in Paris.

Nancy was born on July 15, 1946, in Pueblo, Colo., the daughter of Dr. Jesse Waydelich and Olivene Slater White. She was married to Edwards Lee Stone on April 20, 1968, in Columbia. He predeceased her on July 24, 2002.

Nancy is survived by three children, Mark Edwards (Debora) Stone and Mary Elizabeth Stone of Paris, and Jessica Josephine Yates of Columbia; three grandchildren, Slater Lee Stone of Paris, and Ember Leigh Yates and Satey Alicia Nicole Yates, both of Columbia; and two step-grandchildren, Jessica (Mike) Baker and Shawn Basnett.

She was predeceased by her parents; and a brother, Richard Warren White.

Nancy’s first love was journalism, and she started down that path at the University of Missouri after high school. There she met Ed, got married and started raising a family. After her children were grown, she got her commercial driver’s license and joined Ed in pursuing his passion of driving a “big rig.” After Ed passed away in 2002, Nancy went back to college and finished her degree, then began pursuing her two passions of journalism and history. She was the editor for the Monroe County history book titled “Monroe County, Missouri, Then and Now, 1831-2006,” and following that, a co-editor for the book, “Monroe City, Missouri Sesquicentennial: 1857-2007.” For several years, she wrote a weekly history column for the Monroe City Lake Gazette, while also researching the pioneer families of Monroe County. Known for her amazing memory, Nancy wrote sev-eral books and pamphlets about the cemeteries and pioneer families of Monroe County.

Nancy was president of the Monroe County Historical Society and the driving force for establishing the Monroe County Historical So-ciety Research Center in Paris in 2007. She also was a member of the State Historical Society of Missouri, DAR, the Kentucky Historical Society and the Harrodsburg Historical Society in Kentucky. Nancy was a member of the Paris Presbyterian Church.

Nancy will be greatly missed by all who knew her, and she leaves a grand legacy in her wake. She was known to many as the “Monroe County History Lady,” and she left us too soon.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Mon-roe County Historical Society or the Monroe County Cancer Sup-porters.

Editor’s Note: A bright light has gone out in Monroe County. No one knew the history of the county better than Nancy Stone. She taught me who came when, where they went and where they came from. Nancy was the face of the Monroe County Historical Society and will be truly missed. The Historical Society is plan-ning a tribute in next week’s Monroe County Appeal.

The Madison Lioness met on Tuesday, June 5, at Becky’s park-ing lot to carpool to Kemp’s Res-taurant, in Clarence. Lynda Blades and Sara Wright were hostesses. Fourteen members and two guests, Dorothy Carter and Debbie Clarke, attended. Debbie became a new member, and Gail Thomas who at-tended last month, but was not able to attend this time, also became a new member.

After ordering from the menu, President Karen Thomas led the pledge to the flag. The secretary’s report was read by Kathy McCoy, and it was approved with correc-tion. The treasurer’s report given by Karen Forsyth shows a nice bal-ance on hand. There is no need to have a fundraiser until our fall Ham and Bean Dinner.

The By-Laws committee, Kathy, Lynda, and Connie Nichols will meet before the next meeting with an outline of a new set. Copies will be distributed for discussion. So far no member has been able to find a set of Lioness by-laws.

The Madison Car Show will be held on Saturday, July 7.

Lynda moved that we contribute $25 toward a trophy, Connie sec-onded, and the motion carried.

There will also be a parade that

Madison Lionesses plan to walk in July 7 parade, donate to car show

day - probably at 11 a.m. We can meet at the school and line up car-rying new banner, possibly with our Scholarship winner and our Girl State winner walking with us. More discussion on this at next meeting. Karla Salmons has red, white, blue hats etc so may dress patriotically.

Becky announced that the Demo-lition Derby is to be held Saturday, June 9. The Secretary will prepare new membership lists to be distrib-uted at the next meeting. Hostesses in July are Linda Breid and Mary Crain, but since Mary is still in re-hab, Becky volunteered to fill in

for her. The group signed a card to send to Mary.

The traveling prize was won by Karla, and the door prize by Con-nie. There being no further busi-ness, the meeting was adjourned.

The Lions Club served a 1 p.m. meal to the family of Jay Meals on Tuesday, May 29. They provided meat trays, slaw, baked beans, and iced tea. Lioness members and sev-eral community members brought covered dishes. Lioness members who helped serve were Phyllis Dixon, Kathy McCoy, and Debbie Clarke.

Tri-State Housing Summit hammers home message

More than 110 helium-filled bal-loons that filled the stage at Thurs-day’s Tri-State Housing Summit in Canton helped showcase how home-ownership efforts have paid off.

The balloons represented the number of families the not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) has put on the road to achieving the American dream of owning a home in the last two years in Northeast Missouri.

The summit was hosted by NE-CAC, Culver-Stockton College, the Two Rivers Regional Coun-cil of Governments from Quincy, Ill., the Iowa State University Ex-tension, University of Missouri Extension, the Canton Tourism Commission and NeighborWorks America.

The event brought together pri-vate businesses, government agen-cies and other non-profit organi-zations from Northeast Missouri, West-Central Illinois and South-east Iowa to highlight successful housing programs and to discuss ideas for putting a roof over the heads of more families.

“Some in the national media would have us believe that the dream of home ownership has be-come a nightmare, and that there isn’t a way to reverse the trends brought on by today’s economic hardship and some past financial undisciplined and unethical acts in the national housing industry,” NECAC President and Chief Ex-ecutive Officer Don Patrick said in his opening remarks. “The reality is that partnerships which bring together responsible not-for-profit organizations with impeccable private-sector businesses and ded-icated government agencies are making a difference, even if they are not making headlines.”

Patrick highlighted a few of the families NECAC and it public sec-tor and private sector partners have helped with home-ownership.

“As we have already proven, it can be done in towns of 300 people or counties of 300,000 people,” he said. “All it takes is people such as you who are willing to make it happen.”

Culver-Stockton President Dick Valentine applauded agencies that have played a role in home owner-ship efforts.

“We are changers,” he said. “We affect change. The work that you do is needed.”

Canton Mayor Jarred Phillips emphasized the regional approach. “Together, I’m confident we can achieve great things.”

Quincy, Ill., Mayor John Spring touted the city’s “Fix It or Flatten

It” program, which through grants and private donations totaling $7.2 million has cleared 19 formerly blighted properties, rehabilitated 201 structures and led to the cre-ation of more than 300 housing units since 1995.

“It’s a start,” Spring said. “We hope to continue to provide this. It’s worth the wait and time to do it.”

Stefan Crider of Crider Construc-tion in Quincy outlined his firm’s program to train skilled construc-tion workers and laborers to build the next generation of homes and businesses. Crider said the program “couldn’t have been done without the cooperation” of partners such as the Quincy city government and the Two Rivers Council of Public Officials.

Nadia Anderson of Iowa State University discussed sustainable housing design and Stacey Epper-son of Next Step in Louisville, Ky., outlined a program that allows not-for-profit agencies to sell modular homes. NECAC is the first agency in Missouri to be part of the pro-gram.

A legislative outlook was given by State Sen. Brian Munzlinger of Williamstown and State Reps. Paul Quinn of Monroe City, Tom Shively of Shelbyville and Lindell Shumake of Hannibal.

Other speakers included Howard Kirchner of the Two Rivers Re-gional Council of Governments; Corinne Cahill, deputy regional director for the Midwest region of NeighborWorks America; Janine Stephenson and Lindsay Cheek of USDA Rural Development; Bo-bette Cawthon of the Quincy Real-tors Association, Gary Broughton of Century 21 Broughton Team Hannibal and Quincy; Valerie Weir of Coldwell Banker Realty in Quincy; Glenn Griesbaum of Cluster Home Construction Con-tractors; Rebecca Albert of F & M Bank and Trust of Hannibal and seven other locations; and former Quincy Mayor Chuck Scholz.

The event was an outgrowth of the Tri-State Development Sum-mit, a group that has held nine re-gional conferences since 1996 in an effort to discuss common issues and solutions in 35 Missouri, Illi-nois and Iowa counties. Housing is one of 10 steering committees that meet and report to the summit.

It was held as part of Neighbor-Works America Week June 2 to 9, in which communities across the nation are encouraged to bring to-gether non-profit organizations, families and others to renovate and upgrade housing stocks. NECAC is a NeighborWorks chartered member.

THE CITY OF MADISON2011 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT

MO2010488This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made to provide safe drinking water.

Please Note: This report is not being mailed but will be available at the City Office or by calling 660-291-5235.What is the source of my water?The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.The City purchases it’s water from the Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission. The water source for the CCWWC is Mark Twain Lake located in Monroe and Ralls Counties. Mark Twain Lake is a surface water reservoir owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The CCWWC has entered into a contract with the Corps and the state of Missouri for purchase of water storage space in Mark Twain Lake. The reservoir has a total of 16 million gallons of raw water per day available for drinking water purposes. Current production averages approximately 4.0 million gallons per day.Our drinking water is supplied from another water system through a Consecutive Connection (CC). To Find out more about our drinking water sources and additional chemical sampling results, please contact our office at the number provided below.Source Water Assessment: The Department of Natural Resources conducted a source water assessment to determine the susceptibility of our water source to potential contaminants. This process involved the establishment of source water area delineations for each well or surface water intake and then a contaminant inventory was performed within those delineated areas to assess potential threats to each source. Assessment maps and summary information sheets are available on the internet at http://maproom.missouri.edu/swipmaps/pwssid.htm. To access the maps for your water system you will need the State-assigned identification code, which is printed at the top of this report. The Source Water Inventory Project maps and information sheets provide a foundation upon which a more com-prehensive source water protection plan can be developed.Why are there contaminants in my water?Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).Contaminants that may be present in source water include:A. Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.B. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas produc-tion, mining, or farming.C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.D. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas sta-tions, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.E. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Department of Natural Resources prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Department of Health regulations establish limits from contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.How might I become actively involved?If you would like to observe the decision making process that affect drinking water quality or if you have any further questions about your drinking water report, please call us at 660-291-5235 to inquire about scheduled meeting or contact persons.Do I need to take any special precautions?Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ trans-plants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infection. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).Special Lead and CooperIf present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components as-sociated with service lines and home plumbing. MADISON is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several waters, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tab for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/info/lead/index.cfm.––––

Definitions: MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible using the best available treatment technology. AL: Action Level, or the concentration of a contaminant which, when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. TT: Treatment Technique, or a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. - 90th percentile: For lead and copper testing. 10% of test results are above this level and 90% are below this level. Level Found: is the average of all test results for a particular contaminant. Range of Detections: Shows the lowest and highest levels found during a testing period, if only one sample mas taken, then this number equals the Level Found. MRLDG: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDL: Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level, or the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. RRA: Running Annual Average, or the average of sample analytical results for samples taken during the previous four calendar quarters.Abbreviations: PPB; parts per billion or micrograms per liter. PPM: parts per million or milligrams per liter. n/a: not applicable. NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, used to measure cloudiness in drinking water. MFL: Million fibers per liter, used to measure asbestos concentration. nd: not detectable at testing limits. The state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Records with a sample year more than one year old are still considered representative.

Wear Purple For Elder Abuse

Awareness DayTake a stand in the fight against

elder abuse. The 7th annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is Friday, June 15.

More than 17, 000 elderly and disabled were victims of abuse, neglect or exploitation in Mis-souri last year, according to Tim Jackson, regional manager for the Adult Protective Services Depart-ment.

“Many of these citizens are de-pendent on others for their care and this makes them susceptible to abusive or neglectful treat-ment,” said Paris Senior Citizen’s Center Director Tara Sheffield. “Three out of four cases that are seen involve neglect, usually self-neglect.”

“The person may live in unsani-tary conditions or without heat or running water,” Sheffield added. “Some individuals need assistance with meals and other activities of

daily living.”Tim Jackson noted that the agen-

cy’s Adult Protective Services pro-gram completed 24, 072 investiga-tions in the year 2011 across the state involving suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of adults. Of these, 17,548 were confirmed.

Caseworkers for Adult Protective Services try to arrange services to reduce or eliminate the abusive or neglectful situation. Competent clients have the right to refuse ser-vices, but caseworkers can seek a court order to protect personal health and safety of citizens who are in danger or unable to consent to being helped.

Sheffield urges people to report suspected abuse or neglect of an older adult or person with a disabil-ity by calling the abuse hot line at 1-800-392-0210. You don’t have to be certain that a situation is abusive or neglectful. It will be looked into. Good faith reports are exempt from liability and are kept confidential.

Santa Fe Christian Church Pastor Kenny Sharp

“No Partiality” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scrip-ture text taken from James 2:1-13. God has called everyone to treat each other the same -- no partiality. Three points from his sermon were 1) No one should be looked upon as being better than another - show love to all 2) Difference of people who love God does not determine our inheritance of His Kingdom 3) Partiality is a sin - love your neighbor as thyself. Our hope is in Jesus Christ because He shows no favoritism and loves each one of us. Baptism certificates and a cross necklace were presented by Pastor Kenny and Pat Miller to Kenady Johnson, Kayla Baker and Austin Beckman during the church service.

Pastor Kenny also presented the children’s sermon. He started by ask-ing the children to name the different lights in the world. He then read to the children from John 8:12 saying that Jesus IS the light of the world - nothing is brighter than He. Ashley & Jared Kendrick taught the chil-dren’s ministry.

Prayer concerns were requested for the families of Jane Scrogin and Nancy Stone, Holmes family marking a year since Billy stepped into Eternity, Chris & Heidi Riley, Dean Calvin, Zane Miller, Kathy Blakley, John Carver, Gary & Debbie Hodges, Bill Miller, Frankie Ross, Kim Black, Gabby Sharp, Michelle Rodriguez, those attending 4-H camp this week, Dallas Baker’s niece, Jessica, and Madeline St. Clair. Traveling mercies were requested for the Booth family. Praises were for John & Dallas Baker’s family recent fun trip and for Kathy Laird’s grandson, Hunter, placing 1st in Springfield. The crockpot for June will be for Jim Hurst’s sister, Vendetta Locklear. Happy Birthday was sung to Landon Kendrick.

Cedar Crest camp applications are to be turned in next Sunday, June 17, to Don Wilkerson. We also need to provide one adult for each five applications.

Jill Kendrick gave an update and reminder about the 175th anniversary celebration next year on Sept 15, 2013.

Susan Kendrick reported that $299.01 was collected during VBS for World Vision. The church will match that figure to send $600 to Africa to buy mosquito netting for children to help prevent malaria.

The SALT Saturday youth group volunteered at the Paris Baptist Church last Friday to help pack bags of vegetables, crackers, etc for the summer lunch program. They will volunteer again this Friday with Susan Kend-rick leaving the church at 9:00 and beginning their work at 9:30 for those meeting them at the church. That afternoon the youth group will return to our church and finish packing the food boxes for the Festival of Sharing to meet their goal of 100 boxes. They are in need of cans of Spam and peanut butter to finish off the boxes. If you can donate either item, please have it at the church by Friday at noon.

Brian and Jessica Chase will be showing movies on the pad with “Grace Card” being shown this Friday, June 15, around 8:30. Bring a chair, sleeping bag, etc to be comfortable while watching the movie. Popcorn and soda will be served. The admission fee is a package of snack cakes, etc for the youth.

Sunday School is held every Sunday morning at 9:30 followed by church service at 10:30. Door greeters for next week will be John and Dallas Baker. The children’s ministry will be taught by Lorie Wohlge-muth who needs an assistant. Bible study is continuing in the book of Romans Wed night at 6:30 (meal at 6:00). Please come and join us.

he Paris First Christian Church extends an invitation to everyone to attend the worship service at 10:45 a.m. next Sunday, June 17, when the Junior Church youth will recognize and honor fathers. All hymns sung during that service will signify the church Relay for Life team’s “Color for a Cure” - Burgundy, Cancer of the Blood.

The church held a worship service on Sunday, June 10, with Rever-end Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, on having treasure in clay jars so that it may be made clear that the extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us, was titled “Suffering and Faith,” and was based on 2 Corinthians 4:7. A Moment for Relay for Life was given by Vanessa Forrest.

Upcoming announcements include: Wednesday, June 13 - Relay for Life Scarf-making session in the Fellowship Hall 6:30 p.m. and Board Meeting 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, June 14 - Women’s Salad Supper 6:30 p.m. at the Baptist Church; Sunday, June 17 - Previous FCC Pastor, Reverend Michael Christensen, will be installed at Salem UCC in Hig-ginsville, at 3 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, June 23 and 24 - Relay For Life.

Those celebrating a birthday this week are Lucille Klingaman, Randy Boulware, and Dallas Gruber. The Elder’s Helping Hands for June are Alice Baker and Carroll Blackwell. The church may be contacted by calling (660) 327-4440 or emailing [email protected]. Pastor Donna Scott may be reached at (660) 327-1355 or (314) 769-4362.

The monthly Bible memory verse is: Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. John 6:47 (NSRV). The thought for the week from Dr. Norbert Mueller is: “Christians do not court suffering, but we do expect it. A disciple, after all, is not above His Master.”

On June 10, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included the Mountianair’s sang at Millers in Paris on June 4 at 7pm., volunteers were thanked for the work at the Northeast Missouri Gospel Music & Fun Fest, volunteers for the Summer Feed a Child Program are needed. We will also collect food items for the Feed a Child Program. At the business meeting the church voted in Billy Arnett and Dan Redington as deacons.

This week’s message was titled “Working out your salvation” and came from Phil.2:12-18. A person’s journey is just beginning when salvation is received from Christ. It is a shame many Christians believe all there is left is to wait for Jesus to return. Paul tells us to work out our salvation with trembling and fear. This is not earning salvation but bringing the sal-vation to a logical conclusion. A life of obedience to Christ, service and sacrifice to God; without complaining or arguing is what God expects from His children. We are also to evangelize and live a pure life before man and God.

The Sun., June 10 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “All Hail, King Jesus/Majesty” followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in the Call to Worship based on Psalms 51 and 113.

Debbie Carey led in song to “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name”, “Come Thou Almighty King”, “Blessed Be the Name”, and “Rejoice the Lord is King”.

Announcements were a thank you to Earl Sweitzer and Jim Beuter for the cutting of the fallen tree; and that Pastor John and Patti will be going to Michigan to see Abby who is in the Miss Michigan pageant; prayer for Amanda Grimmett; those starting on the new roof; Martha Hills’ sister Mary Jane and Arthur; Stacy Fuquay; Karen Miller and daughter Tonya; Gabby Sharp; Mary Sue Mitchell; the Ross and Chipman families and for rain and all said the Lord’s Prayer.

Pastor John and Patti played guitar and sang “Holy Is the Lord” and “Holy, Holy, Holy”.

The message “Who Wears the Crows?” was based on scripture from 1 Samuel 8, where Samuel hears the voice of the Lord, the Lord thun-dered against the Philistines and Samuel was a judge for his entire life. The people wanted a king as Samuel tries to tell them how a king will rule over them and take one tenth of all their belongings- but they want-ed a king anyway. The Lord told Samuel that the people were rebelling against Christ not him; the voice of evil leads people to follow the unwise choices - earthly kings are scoundrels; when you do not follow the Lord your life will fall apart. Trust in God - not a false king! He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords! God will have the final word - Jesus Christ should be first and foremost in your heart...if you make bad choices you will suffer the consequences...Beware of your king!

Max Tilt led the offertory as Patti played “See Ye First the Kingdom of God” and all sang the “Doxology”.

Patti played “Crown Him with Many Crowns” as all retired in fellow-ship.

Next Sunday services will be led by Gary Rahmeyer. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are invited to hear the word of the Lord.

Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord. 1 Samuel 8:6

Organist, Jane Akers, opened services at Holliday Christian Church on June 10, with the prelude. In Reverend David Holmes’ absence, Jim Mc-Morris welcomed all in attendance. Gary Wilson reported on the injuries David received in a motorcycle accident while in Texas for a family re-union. The congregation welcomed special guest, Jay Willoughby.

The opening hymn, “How Great Thou Art” was sung. Singing of Gloria Patri followed prayer.

The church will host a homemade ice cream and cake supper and politi-cal candidate speaking on Friday, July 6. Happy birthday wishes were for Sandy Carter, Gerald Roberts, Alan Hultz, Randon Griffith, Hillary VanPraag, Adam McMorris, David Jones, Beverly Bartels and Rachel Manns. Pastoral prayer was offered and “Gloria Patri” was sung.

Everyone shared the joy of a nice gathering for good food and enter-tainment in celebration of Guy and Sandy Callison’s 50th anniversary and Brad and Michelle Callison’s 25th anniversary on Saturday evening. Prayer concerns were expressed for: David Holmes, Frankie Rodgers, Lorene Kendall, Brenda Dry and Jeff Luckett. Sympathy was extended to the family of Nancy Stone.

The prayer hymn, “He Leadeth Me” was followed by prayer. An invita-tion to share in communion was followed by singing “In the Garden” as elders and deacons went forward to serve. After sharing of communion and collection of offerings, the doxology was sung and was followed by pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer.

Jim McMorris’ message on this Sabbath referenced scripture from John 3:12 and was entitled “Who Will Take the Son?” Morning worship closed with singing “The Spirit Song”.

Gerald Roberts, Chairman, called the monthly congregational meeting to order. Minutes of the May meeting were approved as read by Mary McMorris, Secretary. Jane Akers presented financial reports for May; these were also approved as presented. Gerald expressed appreciation to Jim McMorris for leading worship and to Jerry Ragsdale for filling in as chairman for the May meeting. Preliminary plans for the ice cream sup-per were discussed. After a brief discussion of other pending issues, Jer-ry Ragsdale feebly adjourned the meeting; second by Johnny Ragsdale.

Following fellowship time and refreshments, “It’s Best to Keep in Touch – Cowboy Poetry” was shared by Diane Wilson. Tom Curtright opened Bible Study with prayer. Jim McMorris then led the group in study of Matthew 16:13-28 and 17:1-13.

The Perry Christian Church worship hour of June 10 Introit by Cheri Provancha was “Just a Closer Walk with Thee”. David and Wyatt Lewellen were greeters. The choir is taking a vacation.

Pastor Todd welcomed our guests and led the Call to Worship. The Congregational Meeting will be on the June 24. We will participate in the Schutte benefit at the park on the June 23. A “thank you” was given by Jeanne Gay. The FTWJ will meet the first Sunday in July.

The prayer hymn was “Sweet Hour of Prayer”. Frankie Ross was on our prayer list as well as our sympathies for the families of John Ross, Elsa Chipman, John Hart, Jane Scroggins and Nancy Stone.

Singing “The Old Rugged Cross” followed the pastor’s meditation for the Lord’s Supper. Elders were Dean and Greg Harrison. Jesse Todd, Carol Norman, David and Wyatt Lewellen served as deacons.

Jeanne Gay told the children to think about what made our trees and flowers grow and how children should be growing in God’s light by ask-ing Jesus to come into their hearts.

2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1 was read by Jesse for his father’s sermon on “God Is Preparing Us”. While God created us, he is also with us on our journey through life. It is our choice how we respond. We need to reflect on the important people in our lives and show our love.

The invitation hymn was “When We All Get to Heaven” followed by the benediction and closing with “Lord, Dismiss Us With Your Blessing”.

Grace United Methodist, Madison, held worship service, Sunday, June 10, which was the Second Sunday after Pentecost.

Regina Ensor gave the children’s program. She showed the children different denominations of coins, i.e., pennies, nickels, dimes and quar-ters. The children learned that a dollar bill, though the same value as 4 quarters, was easier to carry. In the same way, the church has many valu-able members and if they pool their efforts to be in one unity, they will be more successful about spreading the word of God.

The choir presented special music, “In the Garden”. Cheryl Gholson directed and Kathy Miller accompanied worshipful music throughout the service...

The message from God’s word, presented by Reverend Wesley Ham-mond, was “Life Together: Revealed”, from Acts 2:41-47. Our spiritual life, or lack thereof, can be compared to either a fine tuned auto when we follow the Holy Spirit, or a “Clunker” when we are spiritually dormant and try to solve all our problems without God’s help. Acts 2: 41-47 tells us how to live our lives by devoting ourselves with a glad and sincere heart to learning the teachings of Christ, to fellowshipping with other believers, to help others in need and to continually praise God. Jesus puts our goals in priority.

Life Insurance After Divorce By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

Most people buy life insurance to help family members stay finan-cially secure after the policyholder’s death. Yet, when a marriage ends, the topic of life insurance is too often overlooked. These five tips can help you and your soon-to-be-ex discuss important changes to your policies before you sign the papers:

Read the divorce agreement carefully. “Life insurance policies are often used to secure alimony and child support payments,” says Ste-ven Weisbart, Ph.D., senior vice president and chief economist at the Insurance Information Institute. Before you sign any documents, make sure they meet your needs and that you’ll be able to comply with them. Divorce agreements are legally binding and can be difficult to alter.

Discuss duration of coverage. The time frame for any obligatory life insurance coverage varies, often depending on the length of alimony and the ages of the children. If you’re purchasing insurance to protect a child financially, look into affordable term life or decreasing term life plans with coverage that expires when the child support obligation ends.

Decide who will pay the premiums. Having your ex-spouse pay the insurance company may be convenient, but if you’re concerned about the possibility of default, ask your ex to pay you and then pay the premium yourself. Or, have your ex add you to the policy record so that you may receive duplicate copies of billing and lapse notices. “The consequences of your ex not paying you are less than if he or she doesn’t pay the insurance company,” Weisbart says. “Failing to pay the insurance company could cost you the policy.”

Re-designate beneficiaries. Depending on the divorce settlement, many couples will rename their beneficiaries from each other to their children. In some states, probate laws automatically disqualify a for-mer spouse from receiving life insurance proceeds unless the insured re-designates their ex-spouse after the divorce. If the children are mi-nors, consider appointing an adult custodian to receive and handle the benefits on their behalf. Be sure to specify when the money will be transferred to the children and the percentage each child is to receive, Weisbart says. And keep in mind that beneficiaries cannot be re-des-ignated after the insured’s death, so it’s critical to keep the policy up to date.

Determine how much coverage you’ll need. Examine what your ex-spouse’s financial situation would be like if alimony and/or child sup-port payments ended. Talk with your State Farm® agent and divorce attorney to arrive at a specific amount.

*Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the com-munity as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home’s water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water.

ANNUAL REPORT ON WATER QUALITY--2011Public Water Supply District #2 of Monroe County, MO

1. This Annual Water Quality Report is presented to customers of PWSD #2 of Monroe County, MO (PWS ID # MO2024402) and interested parties, This report details the quality of water delivered to users and other information of interest. If you have any questions about the information presented or need additional information, please contact our office at 660-327-4778.

SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER 2. PWSD #2 of Monroe County purchases its water from the Clarence Cannon Wholesale Water Commission. The water source for the CCWWC is Mark Twain Lake located in Monroe and Ralls Counties, Missouri. Mark Twain Lake is a surface water reservoir owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The CCWWC has entered into a contract with the Corps and the state of Missouri for purchase of water storage space in Mark Twain Lake. The reservoir has a total of 16 million gallons of raw water per day available for drinking water purposes. Current production averages approximately 4.0 million gallons per day. The Department of Natural Resources conducted an assessment of our source water to determine its susceptibility to contamination. All surface water sources are vulnerable to land use activities within their watershed. This is why all surface water in Missouri must be treated in dual treatment trains with barriers in place for potential microbiological and chemical contaminants. The assessment is a delineation of our watershed(s) and inventory of the potential contaminants found within the watershed(s). If you want to know more about the assessment or wish to participate on a watershed protection team to protect this valuable resource, then please call 573-672-3221.

INFORMATION ON WATER QUALITY - 2011In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. 3. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). 4. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their healthcare providers. Environmental Protection Agency/Centers for Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). 5. The water provided by the PWSD #2 of Monroe County meets, and in most cases, exceeds, the quality standards set by EPA and DNR. Safe, reliable drinking water is our priority. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like further information, please feel free to contact our office at 660-327-4778. The Board of Directors meets monthly on the first Monday of each month at 7 p.m. (7:30 DST) at the Office located at 23504 Hwy 24 Paris, MO. All meetings are open to the public and interested persons are always welcome to attend.

Definitions: (1) MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible using best available treatment technology. (2) MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. (3) Treatment Technique: TT: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. (4) Action Level (AL) The concentration of a contaminant which triggers a treatment or other requirement which a water system must follow. (5) ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter (6) ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter(7) The MCL for total coliform is determined by the number of samples taken per month. Systems that collect less than 40 samples per month are in violation if more than one sample tests positive. Systems that collect more than 40 samples per month are in violation if 5% or more of the samples test positive.

First, we want to thank all for the prayers and support we have received in our recent tragedies. Our message on June 10, was entitled, “Doing the Two-Step”. During the past few decades, worldwide paradigms have changed. Once was the time when the postman, the fireman, the police officer, the teacher, the doctor, and the preacher were universally respect-ed. Public servants were trusted and appreciated: their opinions mattered and their services were sought out. When one of these noble officers of society made a request, provided their skills, or offered an opinion, we accepted them with the dignity from whence they came. It was a one-step operation to obtain the cooperation of society in general...trust, belief, and acceptance were the norm.

Unfortunately, these days such acceptance is an anomaly. Society wax-es selfish and introverted as we move away from a paradigm of trust into a paradigm of suspicion. This societal attitude plays negatively to the hearts of this generation of children, teaching them to receive, rather than to give...to hate rather than to love...to suspect rather than to expect. This is part of the undivine plan that has the world in its cross hares: it is the plan of devils. 1 Peter 3:8 tells us, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

This devilish plan makes it difficult for public servants such as pastors to gain acceptance, making it a two-step operation: leaders must dem-onstrate beyond any doubt their sincerity and love for those they serve before they can minister to their hearts. This puts the onus on the church to live out its faith daily: and that is ironically what God has called us to do. In the end, the devilish plan makes us better Christians, thereby de-feating the whole ungodly attack in the process. Live out your faith, and your words will be respected for it.

A lot of fun and family enter-tainment for the Tri-States are right around the corner with the Hannibal Jaycees 57th Annual National Tom Sawyer Days cel-ebration, July 4th – 7th in historic Hannibal, Missouri.

The festivities will kick off Monday, July 2, with the carnival opening on Broadway.

But the fun doesn’t end on the 4th; the celebration will continue through Saturday, July 7th with events the entire family can enjoy. Tan-yard Gardens will feature an ex-citing lineup of performers this year, with Rock & Roll Revival, The Pimpkatz and area sensations Madd Hoss Jackson all taking the stage to entertain the crowds. July 4, will be a “family night” at Tan-

yard Gardens, with all ages wel-come and no cover charge.

National Tom Sawyer Days, which has been listed as one of the Top 100 Events in North America, draws over 100,000 visitors from all over the world each year. It generates millions of dollars in revenue for the city of Hannibal, as well as the revenue the Hannibal

Jaycees and other local service or-ganizations use for their charitable work throughout the year. From the National Fence Painting Con-test to the Frog Jumping Contest, from mud volleyball to “live” en-tertainment at Tanyard Gardens, National Tom Sawyer Days is for the young and the young at heart.

Weather permitting, Norfolk Southern Railroad will be replac-ing track panels at the railroad crossings on Route 24 and Route 15 near Paris this week. Thursday, June 14, crews will be working at the crossing on Route 15. This will result in the crossing being closed

2012 Relay For Life of Monroe County - June 23, June 24 Why I Relay

By Barb McCallAt 14 years old my Grandpa Jacoba was my hero! In the 1970’s he was diagnosed and treated for Colon Cancer. The radiation treatments burned his internal organs so badly it landed him in ICU for over 2 weeks. . . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayWhen I was 19 the first landlord we rented from, was diagnosed and treated for cancer. I will never forget the tractors and semis and combines that flooded the fields to get the crops out for the Wayne Carter fam-ily, because he was too sick!. . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayI’ve heard the story, but never got the privilege to meet my husband’s mother. She was taken by cancer at the young age of 36, when Delbert was only 16.. . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayJoe McCall was the quiet type. I loved the twinkle of orneriness in his eye. He was so much fun to be around. The most gifted man to ever run heavy equipment. It didn’t matter what it was, he could drive/op-erate it. Delbert, Seth and Heath possess those gifts from Joe. I want to honor his life lost to lung cancer.. . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayMy mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in July 2009. She never complained, through surgery, or treatment! My mom is an INCREDIBLE Woman of Faith!. . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayI was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on March 9th 2011. My entire family surrounded me with love and support. My Friends and Co-Workers were quick to offer meals, wore t-shirts & wrist bands reflect-ing their support! Even one-sided hugs, whenever I needed them! We had fun with the various wigs (Kendall, Olivia, Joleen, & Rachel) trying them on, one wig was a free gift from the American Cancer Society! They also provided a “Look Good, Feel Better Clinic” to teach me how to deal with make-up and the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes. The American Cancer Society was the Research Provider$ for the Chemo drugs that helped save my life! And the Tamoxafin that I will continue to take for the next five years to prevent the cancer from coming back. The American Cancer Society also provided me a gas card worth $100.00 that helped offset some of the expenses behind the 4300 miles driven for appointments and treatment. . . . . . . that’s kind’a why I RelayI love my husband, our three wonderful kids, my daughter-in-law, and two beautiful grandbabies! I NEV-ER want any of them, or the rest of our friends and family, to have any further experience with cancer than I have already put them through!I will be a friend and advocate for every cancer patient, that I can, to walk alongside their journey!THAT IS WHY I RELAY!!!!!!!!!

Tree trimming to be performed along roadways at Mark Twain Lake

The U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers at Mark Twain Lake will be performing tree trimming operations along main roadways throughout several recreation areas from June 18, 2012, to June 22, 2012. The most extensive operations will occur in the Warren G. See South Spillway Recreation Area. These areas will remain open; however, all visitors entering the area are encouraged to be very cautious and watch for fall-ing limbs as well as workers near

the road. Due to the proximity of many trees to the roadway, visitors can expect to find one lane of traffic when entering or exiting these areas. In these situations please pay close attention to any personnel provid-ing instructions to motorists. If you would like additional information, please contact the Mark Twain Lake Project Office at 573-735-4097 or email us at [email protected].
