AMC President David Neuendorf, left, a guest of Rotarian Chuck Brazeale, addressed the Paris Rotary Club on Thurs-day, May 2. Neuendorf explained to the Rotarians that SSM Health Care and 88-bed Audrain Medical Center, in Mexico, have signed an agreement for SSM to own and operate the medical center and its nine MedChoice rural clinics that started April l.

u See SEQUESTOR on page A8

SSM will also form a Mid-Missouri Region because of the proximity of the medical center and its clinics to St. Mary’s Health Center, in Jefferson City. Brent VanConia, president of St. Mary’s Health Center, will become interim president of SSM’s Mid-Missouri Region.

“Bringing Audrain Medical Center into the SSM Health Care system and forming a Mid-Missouri Region will allow SSM to extend its health ministry to a new part of Missouri,” said William P. Thompson, SSM’s president and chief executive officer. “Audrain Medical Center recognizes the advantage of being part of a larger organization that is committed to con-tinuing to serve the local community and they share a similar mission, vision and values.”

A partnership with a larger health-care system provides the regional hospital’s patients access to a network of specialty phy-sicians and support services. It also benefits from the expertise of a national, quality award-winning organization in an era of rapid industry and regulatory change.

Audrain Medical Center is about 50 miles from St. Mary’s Health Center, a member of SSM Health Care. The acute-care hospital has more than 500 employees and 40 active physicians.

ed accordingly. The federal sequester took effect March 1 as part of an ef-fort by the U.S. Congress to manage and reduce the nation’s deficit. These reductions hit several organizations in Paris, and Monroe County, includ-

ing the North East Community Action Corporation, the Paris Senior Center and the Monroe County Health De-partment.

NECAC received just over 5 percent cuts to its program funds because of the Sequester, public relations officer Brent Engel said. But NECAC had al-ready planned for 25 percent cuts to its fiscal year budget, before the sequester had even been announced, and adjust-ed pretty smoothly.

“We’re not by any means flush, but we expected and prepared for budget cuts well ahead of the sequester,” Engel said. “One program we expect that will be hit, in June, is energy assistance to pay utility bills. It would have been hit already, but the winter money had run out by March.”

Engel said that the budget for the energy assistance program will be at a reduced level when it sets in for the summer.

The Monroe County Health De-partment took a cut from state funds to the tune of approximately nine percent of its budget for Local Aid to Public Health, Director Paula Delaney said. The department’s monthly bud-get fell for that program, from $2800 to $2000, for six months.

“We’re a small county, so it hasn’t affected us too greatly yet,” Delaney said. “But it’s only a matter of time be-fore we’ll have to cut services or lay off staff.”

“Personnel expenses and staff sala-ries consume 75 percent of the Health

letic budget for 2013-14 as presented by Athletic Director Wade Billington.

Extra Duty Salary Schedule: The ex-tra duty salary schedule was increased as presented.

Graduation Cords: The board mem-bers came to a consensus that they will only allow school sponsored events to have cords at graduation.

CTA Salary and Welfare Commit-tee: Brandy Forsyth presented to the board members the recommendations from CTA regarding salary schedules.

A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to approve the certified salary changes for 2013-14 school year as presented, including steps and across movement allowed on the certified salary schedule, and rais-ing the minimum insurance benefit for all fully eligible employees to be equal

to the HSA premium of $419. A motion was made, seconded and

passed unanimously to approve the non-certified salary changes for 2013-14 school year as presented, including a raise to bus driver activities to $10/hour, a 2% increase to their salary and $200 insurance benefit for all aides and paras for health insurance.

A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to raise the mini-mum board paid insurance benefit to match the premium of the HSA plan for the 2013-14 school year for all em-ployees that are eligible for full ben-efits.

The Love of a Mother

It has been three years now since my mom has passed away. This month tends to be a little harder for me due to several facts. It is the month she passed away. It is the month we cel-ebrate Mother’s Day. It is my daughter’s birth-day month and then this year also happens to be the month my daughter is graduating 8th grade. I know my mom would be so proud of how she has grown into a such a beautiful, young lady. My daughter was blessed to get to spend a lot of time with my mom when she was younger and they developed a very special bond. This is one of those moments I guess when you re-ally feel the sting of the loss of a loved one but you still have to push through to enjoy and celebrate the now.

Okay, let me change things up a bit. I don’t want this to be a sad ar-ticle. Instead, I want to take time to share with you a couple things writ-ten about my mom to celebrate who she was

and how special she was to all who had a chance to meet her. One of them is a poem my sister Leah wrote and the other one is a Mother’s Day card I wrote to my mom back in 2000. I found these items a couple months ago when we were going through mom’s things.

Thank Youby Leah Rocco

Thank you for all your beautiful smiles.

You could light up a room and make

everything worthwhile.

Thank you for all the unconditional

love you gave.It was powerful,

nothing got in the way.

Thank you for always teaching us about faith.We treasure your values and learned to rely on

God’s grace.Thank you for being

one we could lean on.

No matter what the situation, you were always so strong.

Thank you for everything we’ll

keep in our heart.Your love will live

within us like it has from the start.

Dear Mom,I want to wish you the

most blessed Mother’s Day ever. You are an in-spiration to all mothers. You are a comforter, a listener, an encourager, a friend, a prayer warrior, a confidant, and a gift from God. All these traits make up one wonderful mother and grandmoth-er. One can only hope to display the motherly characteristics you have shown throughout your walk as a mother. I want to thank God for giving you a loving heart and a positive attitude and then I want to thank you for allowing God to use you to bless us over and over again.

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this call-ing, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the works of faith with power: That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glo-rified in you, and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God and the

Lord Jesus Christ.- 2 Thessalonians

11:12Love,LisaMOMS - Please re-

member we are vital in our children’s lives. We are going to make mis-takes and we are go-ing to have days when we feel like throwing in the towel but remember God chose us and He knew we were capable of fulfilling our calling as a mother before we were even born. And to those out there who have not spoken to their moms in awhile please take this Mother’s Day to recon-cile. Life is short. For-giveness is so worth giv-ing. We never know what our tomorrow holds so celebrate and enjoy each day we are given to the fullest. Happy Mother’s Day-May it be the best one yet!!!

Want Bridge at Allen Ford: A large delegation from Madison and vicin-ity appeared before the county court at Paris, Tues-day, in behalf of a bridge across Allen Creek, near the Judge Allen place, east of Middle Grove. As mat-ters now stand, the delega-tion pointed out, Monroe County people who live on the south side of the stream are often forced to go an-other county to sell their produce and do their trad-ing. That a bridge is badly needed is admitted by all who are familiar with the locality. Those came before the court Tuesday were: B.O. Farris, Claud Farris, B.F. Carroll, Mr. Summers, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Ellsberry, J.C. Frank, Jeff T. Noel, Ned Thompson, John C. Atter-bury, Fred Baker, Rev. Kim-brell, Rev. Hutchisom, Jim Riley.

Snow Tuesday, Ice Wednesday: Snow fell in various parts of Monroe County Tuesday morn-ing but not near so much as at Perry, 2 miles south-east, where the ground was white for a short time. East of Victor, according to R.R. Crigler, falling snow was seen twice during the day. On Wednesday morning ice was in evidence in ves-sels out in the open. No damage was done. Accord-ing to Government weather reports dating back to 52 years, it was the first time snow has ever been seen in Missouri as late as May 8.

More Band Aids

Stepping Up To The Plate... It never ceases to amaze me that when something needs to be done - someone steps up to the plate and gets it done (it is baseball season so I can sprinkle my col-umn with colorful base-ball metaphors from time to time).

Usually that same per-son tries to remain in the shadows not wanting their accomplishments to be recognized but is a cheerleader for their ‘team.’ One of the names that springs to mind for this phenomenon is John Turner. Turner has taken an idea and turned it, through his hard work, solid planning and dedi-cation into a huge cog in the county fight against cancer machine. For that I salute him and his organi-zation - Monroe County Cancer Supporters!

Speaking of the fight against cancer, we are a little over a month away from the America Can-cer Society’s signature event- Relay For Life of Monroe County and the teams are getting down to business raising mon-ey. Team Captain Brooke Rentschler is all over town working hard to raise both money and cancer awareness. Instead of the Purple Throne so loved by many in their yards last year - this season Brooke is placing Pink Flamin-

goes in yards. The catchy theme slogan is “Standing Up To Cancer.”

“We called it this be-cause Flamingos always are standing on one leg!” said Brooke.

Look for those pink birds all over town - they are a symbol of a young lady’s charge to not let something (cancer) get the better of her, her family, her neighbors or even complete strangers. Brooke is sponsoring a 5K run/walk in memory of her grandfather. Look for details on page 10 as Brooke tries to hit one out of the park against a deadly disease.

Have a great week!

The game of chicken continues between Presi-dent Obama and the House Republicans over the sequester, the leap over the financial cliff now starting to cause real pain.

The game from the President’s viewpoint is to allow enough pain to the American Public to cause the Congress to take ac-tion on a compromise that reduces debt and provides some income for growth. Republicans in Congress have been will-ing to allow the sequester cuts to take effect in or-der to avoid any gain for which the President can claim credit and to be able to complain about hard times under the Presi-dent’s administrations due to the sequester. But then Mr. Obama blinked. He signed on to the bill that allows the F.A.A. to shuffle funds to avoid flight controllers layoffs and the resultant delays for passengers.

So if the teeth are

pulled one by one from the sequester as problems and pain arises, what in-centive do the Congres-sional Republicans have to compromise on a far reaching budget bill?

We are now stuck with budget cuts that no one wanted in the first place to encourage coopera-tion between the admin-istration and Congress that didn’t happen and which will only become worse. What the parties didn’t calculate when they agreed to the sequester was that the resultant damage to various seg-ments of Americans was not incentive enough to bring to the bargaining table a Congress that is proving that they don’t care much about what the majority of Americans want or deserve. Will we have the memory or the courage to turn some of them out at election time? Meanwhile will we stand still for more band aids for our serious economic ills? RJF

Twenty-Five Years of Special Turkey Hunt for Disabled Individuals a Success

Ebbesmeyer selected for Scholars Academy

A.R. Thompson of ru-ral New London, was the first successful hunter to harvest a wild turkey Saturday, April 27. He and seven other hunters participated in the Spe-cial Wild Turkey Hunt sponsored by CORPS of Engineers and Paris Lions Club. Although, the weather was a little damp Saturday, three hunters were able to fool Ole Tom. Mr. Thomp-son had participated last November in the Special Deer Hunt. He was ex-cited to share his hunt-ing story.

He stated, “The tur-key came within arm length and never knew I was sitting there.” He

allowed the turkey to walk a few yards before he harvested the beauti-ful bird. The first hunt in 1989 had two hunt-ers. It took a few hunts before a turkey was har-vested. The hunt was the first Wild Turkey hunt in the state of Missouri in 1989. There are sev-eral special hunts now scattered throughout the state of Missouri.

James Harrowel, from rural Middletown, and William Hall, from Wardell, in southeast Missouri, each harvested a turkey Saturday. Mr. Harrowel was successful Sunday harvesting his fi-nal bearded turkey.

The eight hunters

each, heard, saw, or shot at turkeys during the hunt.

The special hunt would not have taken place without many volunteers and spon-sors. The Masonic Lodge, from Monroe City furnished the two lunches, General Mills, from Hannibal supplied snacks and Krigbaum Trailers, of Monroe City, furnishes enclosed stock trailers at the special hunts at Indian Creek

The Missouri Scholars Academy is a three-week academic program for 330 of Missouri’s gifted students who are ready to begin their junior year in high school. The academy is a residential program held on, and partially funded by, the campus of the Univer-sity of Missouri. The academy reflects Mis-souri’s desire to strive for excellence in education at all levels. The program is based on the premise that Missouri’s gifted youth must be provided with special opportu-nities for learning and personal development in order for them to realize their full potential.

and nurse practitioners. The medical center has been providing care in the Audrain/Mexico community since 1918 and has been recognized for its clinical qual-ity and safety and its commitment to patient-centered care.

“Being part of SSM Health Care means a bright, sus-tainable future for Audrain Medical Center,” said David Neuendorf who will continue as president of the medi-cal center. “This agreement benefits our employees, physicians and the residents of the communities we serve.”

“I am very pleased that this agreement will allow SSM to extend its health-care ministry through the strong network of physicians and clinics now owned and operated by Audrain,” said St. Mary’s President Brent VanConia. “We are pleased to have the opportu-nity to work together with Audrain and welcome them into the SSM Health Care family.”

The addition of Audrain Medical Center will bring the number of SSM hospitals to 18. The medical center will eventually be renamed to reflect its affiliation with SSM Health Care. Neuendorf noted that a new name is yet to be determined.

SSM and Audrain Medical Center entered into ex-clusive talks in December.

On Tuesday, April 9, the Holliday C-2 Board met in a regular session meeting at the school.

Members Present: Da-vid Pence, Heather Hayes, Debbie Ragsdale, Mendy Blades, Sara Callison and Edith Ensor. Administra-tor: Carol Hall. Secretary: Megan Day. Guests: Kelly Williams, Beth Turner, Debbie Mann, Brenda Coffman, Susan Havens, Julie Ensor, Cristy Jones, Pam Reinhardt and Trisa Redington.

Call to Order: Presi-dent David Pence called the reorganizational meeting to order at 7 p.m.

Oath of Office: Megan Day gave the oath of office to Mendy Blades.

Election of Officers: The board elected officers. President – David Pence; Secretary – Megan Day; Vice President - Mendy Blades; and Treasurer- Heather Hayes

Call to Order: Presi-dent David Pence called the regular session meet-ing to order at 7:07 p.m.

During public com-ment new administrator Kelly Williams thanked the board for the oppor-tunity to be the adminis-trator for the 2013-2014 school year. She let the teachers know she would be available in July to meet with them and get to know how they run their classrooms.

Food Service: It was noted that food service expenditures are lower than last year at this point.

Transportation: The bus that failed the March inspection due to an exhaust leak has now passed. Due to extensive snow, there were several days that the gravel roads were impassable this year. The board might consider creating alternative snow routes for the future since running hard surfaces only essentially eliminates Steve’s route.

of the more pressing con-cerns are fixing the bro-ken PVC pipes on the playground, securing the basement sump pump and making the ramps handicap accessible.

Few things say “summer” like the look and smell of a freshly cut lawn. But while the end result is ap-pealing, mowing can actually be a dangerous week-end task. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 253,000 people, including children, were treated for lawn mower–related injuries in 2010.

Review these safety tips before taking your lawn mower out of the shed.

Have your mower serviced at the beginning of the season, and read through the owner’s manual before operating.

Dress with safety in mind. Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes; safety goggles; gloves; and long pants.

Before mowing, scour your yard for sticks, stones and other objects that could become dangerous pro-jectiles. Mower blades can eject objects as fast as 100 miles per hour.

Make sure children and pets are inside before you begin mowing.

Do not let children under the age of 12 operate walk-behind mowers; children under 16 should not drive riding mowers. Children should never ride along on riding mowers.

Fuel your mower outdoors before you’ve start-ed the engine. If the mower runs out of fuel before you’ve finished mowing, take a break. Turn off the engine and add fuel once the mower has cooled.

Start your mower outside of the garage or other storage area to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Avoid mowing when the grass is damp. Wet grass can make the ground slippery to walk on, and it can clog the discharge chute.

Drive riding mowers straight up and down slopes to help prevent rollovers. Walk push mowers diag-onally across hills to reduce the risk of pulling the mower on top of you if you fall.

Never pull mowers backward or mow in reverse.Turn off the mower before walking away from it.Shut off the engine when pushing a mower over

gravel, mulch or pavement.Turn the mower off and wait for the blades to stop

spinning before adjusting the blade height, removing built-up debris or making repairs.

Disconnect the spark plug before reaching un-der the mower (or unplug it if you have an electric mower).

Use a stick or broom handle, not your hands, to remove debris that’s clogging the chute.

Store your fuel only in canisters approved by state and local government regulations. If you keep more than one type of fuel in your shed or garage, make sure each container is clearly labeled and stored at least 50 feet away from a flame source. Some mower manufacturers recommend using a blend of gaso-line and oil, but an incorrect ratio can damage your engine. Check your owner’s manual for instructions specific to your make and model.

The title of today’s ser-mon was “Living Water.” In Pastor Kenny’s absence, Bill Holmes gave today’s mes-sage. Scripture was taken from John 4: 3-15. In our lives, we try to do things ourselves, but continue to be “thirsty” for more, never sat-isfied. The only way to satisfy that thirst is to receive the living water through Jesus Christ, that free gift of salva-tion and eternal life in Heav-en. Receiving living water, you will thirst no more. The message was ended by read-ing the words to the song “Come to the Well” by Cast-ing Crowns. .

Paris Presbyterian

Pastor John Grimmett

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each man according to what they have done.” – Revelation 22:12

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

Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“In Your Presence” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Opening Prayer led by El-der Helen Fugate

Scripture read by Bro. Thompson – Romans 12:17-21

“God’s Got A Blessing” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

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

“I’ll Stand Until” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “The Why & the What of Our Experi-ences with God”- St. John 13:4-9.

Peter already formed an opinion about what Jesus was doing - vs.6

Jesus was speaking spiri-tually while doing a physical act - vs.8

Peter caught what Jesus was saying and yielded.

Isaiah 14:24, 27When you’re in an expe-

rience that is negative, you wonder what God’s pur-pose is. Remember to put this verse into your experi-ence knowing that God will work all things together for our good and ‘No One’ can change it.

St. Jon 13:7-8-Peter felt

that Jesus should not wash their feet because it was not customary. Jesus wanted them to know that they were servants no matter what po-sition you hold! Jesus came to Peter last because there was a major lesson that Jesus wanted him to learn (Peter was a leader).

Experiences in Peter’s future will help him under-stand what took place that day. Jesus made an eternal statement - vs.8.

Hebrews 10:22 - physical things were used to symbol-ize the spiritual things.

Ephesians 5:26St. John 13:37-38 – the

answer to Peter’s question was that he didn’t under-stand what was going on. He was irrational in his percep-tion and not fully submitted. Verse 38-a future experience for Peter to help him under-stand.

St John 13:17, 25-27-you can follow Christians and act like them until the heat is on

St. John 21:5-13, 14-an-other experience for Peter and his followers. When you put Jesus in the back of your mind, silly thoughts will come and you will go back to what you did before and end up with nothing. It is also the same result for those who follow you.

Except your experience even when you don’t under-stand them.

Take Jesus at His Word and He will show up in your experience

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednes-day - Men and Women Sup-port groups at 6 p.m., Thurs-day at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

On Sunday, May 5, the congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered for worship. All were wel-comed by Reverend David Holmes following the pre-lude by pianist, Sally Blake-more.

Appreciation was ex-pressed to Gerald Roberts, who with a small amount of help, completed installation of a new, wider rest room door to accommodate wheel chairs.

Happy birthday was sung to Sophia Holohan, Beverly Wandrey, Beckett Bollinger, Bobby McMorris and Dru Holmes.

The opening hymn, “Heavenly Sunlight”, was followed by pastoral prayer and “Gloria Patri”. Jim and Mary McMorris shared a joy – Mike Mallory, who is undergoing cancer treat-ments, expressed a wish to see Willie Nelson perform in person to his friend, Darren Vaughn. Darren made con-tact with Willie through his website regarding tickets for a performance. The contact ended up with a call from Willie to Mike, which lasted about 15 minutes. The fol-lowing were remembered in prayer: David Holmes’ cousin, Joe and his wife, Jan-ice; and the families of Dave Lehenbauer, Joe Billings and Carol Gilliam.

“Be Still My Soul” was the

prayer hymn sung; moments of meditation followed as a final verse was played. Pas-toral prayer and unison re-cital of the Lord’s Prayer fol-lowed.

“Amazing Grace” was sung as elders, Sandy Cal-lison and Carole Roberts, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table. Diacon-ate: Jane Akers and Zelmajo Ragsdale. After partaking of communion and offering collection, pastoral prayer and the doxology closed the communion service.

“Life Is God’s Gift” was the message from Rever-end Holmes. Scripture from John 5:1-18 was refer-enced. The closing hymn, “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind”, was followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morn-ing worship.

Following a time of re-freshments and fellowship, Carole Roberts read from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know” – the message was entitled “The Creation Speaks of God”. Mary Mc-Morris shared a reading en-titled “Get Out of the Car!” and Diane Wilson read “The Lord’s Baseball Game”. Jim McMorris then led the group in prayer and in an in-depth study of Luke 5:36-39 and Luke 6:1-26. No Bible Study will be held on May 12, Mother’s Day.

On Sunday, May 5, church services began with the pastor giving an open-ing prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. An-nouncement included: Mother’s Day Tea was a huge success! Thank you to Peggy Evans and the other ladies who helped make this hap-pen. May 11, at 8:30 a.m., all men of the community are invited to Men’s Breakfast. May 16, the MountainAires will perform for the Cowboy Church at Kingdom City. On May 19, there will be a carry-in dinner after church for the graduates.

This week’s message was entitled ‘God has Elected His Children” and came from Ephesians 1:4. Paul does not hesitate or soft sell the idea that God is sovereign in all things, including choosing who is called to be in Christ. The doctrine is a divisive teaching but it need not be.

Paul tells us that ‘he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world. This is very plain language. ‘He’ is God, ‘us’ is God’s cho-sen children, and ‘in him’ is in Christ. So God has chosen his children in Christ before the foundation of the world. This should be an encour-agement to every Christian.

This tells us that our sal-vation is of God and not of our self. If our salvation de-pends on God’s will then we cannot mess our salvation up

because we cannot harm the plans of God. God’s choos-ing came before the world was created. This means God made His choice before we made ours. His choice of the elect was based on noth-ing the elect had done or any worth found in them. They were elected only by God’s mercy and grace. Therefore salvation is of God.

Jesus taught plainly in John 6:65 saying “no one can come to me unless it has been granted him from the Father.” God must reveal himself to a person for them to come to God for salva-tion. If God revealed himself to everyone this statement of Jesus would not have been necessary. It is only by God’s will that anyone is saved.

Some would say that if God chose us for salvation apart from anything that we do, it will lead people to say, ‘Then we can live as we please.’ But God says we will be holy and blameless before him. How this is to come about is found in Romans 8:29-30 and I will leave you to discover this for yourself.

The doctrine of election cannot be fully covered in one sermon and probably not two. If God allows I will come back next week with more on the subject. Until then remember that man’s reasoning does not always line up with God’s Word and when this happens God’s Word is always superior.

Graduates were honored at the morning worship ser-vice. College graduates were Sarah Miller, Jocelyn Bright, and Michael Hall. High School graduates were Shel-by DeTienne, John Turn-bough, Jeanne Hecox and Eighth grade graduates were Trinity Morris and Dakota French.

Kathy Miller opened the service with her organ pre-lude, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing”. The choir, directed by Cheryl Gholson, and accompanied by Bren-da Ensor, sang, “Bless His Mighty Name”.

John Mitchell gave the children’s sermon. His topic was “Wisdom”, which comes from God. With God’s wis-dom we can stay in the path he has for us. Everyone makes mistakes, but if we know our actions are not pleasing to God and we do them anyway, we are sin-ning. God will help us fol-low Him.

Mark Bell delivered the morning message from Proverbs 3:5-6, entitled “A Sermon for Grandma”. This passage of scripture was his grandmother’s favorite and she wanted each child to be able to recite it. When we follow a path of our own, we are sometimes uncertain about the outcome, but if we are following God we have the assurance that we are

in His hands. Our actions should be directed to please God and not the desires of others or our own desires. He related several experi-ences in life that led him to the ministry and youth leadership. We should lean entirely on God to direct our life.

At the conclusion of the service Reverend Hammond presented him with a license to preach. He also received a Study Bible and reference cards. The scripture refer-ence was 2nd Timothy 4:2, “Preach the word; be pre-pared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage – with great pa-tience and careful instruc-tion”.

Sequester can affect small townsdepartment’s budget,” Delaney said.

But other services like disease control, out-break treatments and prevention, and hotel and restaurant inspec-tions are a few of the services that may be re-duced when the money runs out.

“Every funding stream we have is taking a hit,” she said.

But the Paris Senior Center, which is still re-covering from state re-ductions to the Meals on Wheels program from 2010, was really stung by the sequester. Fed-eral budget cuts are only encouraging a further drop for funding, on top of the 2010 cuts, se-nior center director Tara Sheffield said.

“The government seems to want to cut ev-erything from the peo-ple who need it most,” Sheffield said. “These seniors founded our town and don’t have the resources to do many of the services we provide on their own anymore.”

Meals on Wheels is

a program, operated in local chapters through-out the nation, that helps keep elderly citizens liv-ing on their own by de-livering a daily meal to their home. Eligible par-ticipants in the program must be more than 60 years old and physically unable to leave their homes, Sheffield said. “These homebound peo-ple don’t get out socializ-ing. The people deliver-ing the meals might be the only person who they see or who can check on them that day.”

The Missouri Con-gress in 2010 cut the pro-gram’s budget by more than $1.4 million, with the promise to restore the money in the fol-lowing year but didn’t restore any funds for

the fiscal 2011 budget, according to an email from Sheffield. For the fiscal 2012 budget, Con-gress restored just fewer than $950,000 to the home delivery system’s old funds and recently the House passed a bill that would have restored the remaining cuts from 2010, Sheffield said. But the Senate voted to re-move those funds from the state budget in April.

“Long term improper nutrition can lead to long term increased costs of healthcare,” Sheffield said. “A lot of the time, seniors may have to choose between medi-cine or food and that home delivered meal might be the only meal they eat for the day.”

session: The board members accepted the resignation of Garrett Thomas, effective the end of the 2012-2013 school year; the board members increased the FBLA extra duty pay to $800 for the 2013-2014 school year; the board members offered the current non-certified staff a work agreement for the 2013-2014 school year, pulling Michael

Doerhoff and Candy Hamilton for separate action. The board mem-bers made a motion to offer Michael Doerhoff a work agreement for the 2013-2014 school year, motion failed; and the board members pro-vided Kelly Williams a $1000 stipend for special education testing for the 2012-2013 school year.

Board approves salary changes

It was like any other day in the 40-plus years that Kent Blades had been farming. A lifelong Monroe County farmer, Blades was driving from one part of the farm to another when a semi-truck passed him and struck his John Deere open-station 5520 tractor as he was making a left turn.

Blades counts himself lucky to have survived, though the accident left him with severe brain trauma, multiple broken bones and numerous other injuries.

Every year farmers are killed or injured in simi-lar accidents. Accord-ing to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, there were 231 accidents in Missouri involving farm vehicles in 2011, killing three drivers and injuring 17 others.

Spring is one of the most dangerous times for driving in rural ar-eas, notes Karen Funken-busch, a University of Missouri Extension rural safety and health special-ist. With 123,039 miles of public roads and almost 108,000 farms, Missouri presents many dangers for motorists in rural communities.

“It’s that time of year when farmers are going to have their equipment on the road moving it from field to field, so we need to slow down, take our time, be patient,” Funkenbusch said.

Blades doesn’t want anyone to go through what he experienced. When he sees a driver following a farm vehicle too closely, or machin-ery that’s not properly marked, he pulls the driver over and gives sage advice. “Just slow down and pay attention to what people are doing,” he says.

Funkenbusch notes that tractors and com-bines have top speeds of around 20-24 miles per hour. A car going 55 mph that is 300 feet behind a tractor going 15 mph can

close that gap—about the length of a football field—in about five seconds.

“Motorists need to be alert,” she said. “You re-ally don’t have much time when you’re traveling 55 miles per hour.”

For Blades, a few short seconds had long-lasting consequences. During his lengthy recovery at the Rusk Rehabilitation Cen-ter in Columbia, he had to resign numerous lead-ership positions, includ-ing chairmanships of the state fair board and his church’s board of trust-ees. He still farms, but his son-in-law takes care of day-to-day operations.

Ruts still mar the road-side ditch where Blades’ life took a detour six years ago. He and his family cannot pass the accident scene without recalling how a routine farm chore almost turned fatal.

Safety tipsUnder Missouri law,

farm equipment traveling under 25 miles per hour must display slow-mov-ing vehicle reflector em-blems and have proper lighting to increase vis-ibility.

University of Missouri Extension rural safety and health specialist Kar-en Funkenbusch offers additional recommenda-tions:• When driving farm ma-

chinery on a road or highway, display a red flag measuring 12-14

feet high atop a pole so that the machine can be seen even when hidden by a rise or curve in the roadway.

• When rounding a curve, stay to the right-hand side of the road as much as possible. Avoid soft or steep road shoul-ders, which may cause the tractor to tip.

• Take extra precautions when driving in the ear-ly morning or early eve-ning hours, when vis-ibility is often impaired by sun.

• If traffic lines up behind the farm equipment, pull off or let traffic pass.

• Railroad crossings, es-pecially those without gates, present a special hazard. Never take a safe crossing for grant-ed.

• Use hand signals, elec-tronic signals or both to indicate intentions to turn. Try to avoid wide turns.

• Turn your headlights on, but turn off rear spotlights, which can be mistaken for headlights.

• Avoid being on the road during rush hour, in bad weather and at night.

• Use pilot cars if going a considerable distance, and hang a flag out the window of these vehi-cles or use a slow-mov-ing vehicle emblem. For drivers who en-counter farm machin-ery, she offers the fol-lowing advice:

• Some farm equipment is wider than the road. Don’t assume a farmer can pull over to the shoulder, as it may be steep or soft.

• Pass with caution.• Do not assume that a

farm vehicle that pulls to the right side of the road is going to turn right or is letting you pass. Due to the size of some farm machinery, the farmer must execute wide left-hand turns.

• Do not assume the farmer in front of you knows you are there. Farm equipment is loud.

• Be patient and courte-ous.

MOTHER’S DAY 9A

223 North Main Street • Paris, Mo. • 660-327-4514

Stop in and see us for yourMOTHER’S DAY GIFTS

The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jar-vis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Follow-ing her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis con-ceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children. After gaining financial back-ing from a Philadelphia department store owner named John Wana-maker, in May 1908 she organized the first of-ficial Mother’s Day cel-ebration at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia. That same day also saw thousands of people attend a Mother’s Day event at one of Wa-namaker’s retail stores in Philadelphia.

Following the success

Founding of Mother’s Dayof her first Mother’s Day, Jarvis—who remained unmarried and childless her whole life—resolved to see her holiday added to the national calendar. Arguing that American holidays were biased toward male achieve-ments, she started a massive letter writing campaign to newspapers and prominent politi-cians urging the adop-tion of a special day honoring motherhood. By 1912 many states, towns and churches had adopted Mother’s Day as an annual holiday, and Jarvis had established the Mother’s Day Inter-national Association to help promote her cause. Her persistence paid off in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed

a measure officially es-tablishing the second Sunday in May as Moth-er’s Day.

Anna Jarvis had origi-nally conceived of Mother’s Day as a day of personal celebration between mothers and families. Her version of the day involved wear-ing a white carnation as a badge and visiting one’s mother or attend-ing church services. But once Mother’s Day be-came a national holiday, it was not long before florists, card companies and other merchants capitalized on its popu-larity.

While Jarvis had ini-tially worked with the floral industry to help raise Mother’s Day’s profile, by 1920 she had become disgusted with how the holiday had been commercial-ized. She outwardly denounced the trans-formation and urged people to stop buying Mother’s Day flowers, cards and candies. Jarvis eventually resorted to an open campaign against Mother’s Day profiteers, speaking out against confectioners, florists

and even charities. She also launched countless lawsuits against groups that had used the name “Mother’s Day,” eventu-ally spending most of her personal wealth in legal fees. By the time of her death in 1948 Jar-vis had disowned the holiday altogether, and even actively lobbied the government to see it re-moved from the Ameri-can calendar.

Why visit The Brick, a restaurant, in Moberly? According to co-owner Judy McKinney it could

be for a number of reasons including excellent food, a family atmosphere, cus-tomer friendly waitresses or even all the homemade food.

“We have excellent wait-resses and a very friendly family atmosphere,” said McKinney. “And every-thing is handmade and fresh.”

Tuesday and Sundays

the restaurant features, what is considered by many, to be some of the best fried chicken in the area. Another popular res-taurant feature is that they serve breakfast all day in-cluding omelets, French toast, pancakes, etc.

McKinney noted that the restaurant features two (2) daily specials Monday through Friday.

Some delicious exam-ples of the daily specials include: hot tenderloin with mashed potatoes and covered with gravy; home-made chicken and noodles; chicken fried steak; baked chicken with a pineapple sauce, cheesy potatoes, and steamed broccoli; and home made slow cook hot roast beef mashed potatoes

and gravy.Online reviews include

“varied menu, good prices, great service. Would rec-ommend to anyone” and “The restaurant has a de-voted local following for good reason; and we eat here a lot. We always feel welcome here. The wait staff is very attentive -- sometimes more than one wait staff comes to the table when we first arrive. The food is consistently good. It’s liked a trusted friend is cooking your meal.”

The Brick is open seven (7) days a week from 6:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.

The Brick has banquet facilities available – just call to schedule.

The Brick is located at 107 N. Williams, Moberly.

The death of a loved one is always hard to bear, but the generous outpouring of love extended to

our family has helped us in our time of our loss of our beloved mother Kathylin Fields. The overwhelming visitation attendance and the packed church at the

funeral Mass served as an honorable and loving tribute to our mom and we thank you that you thought so

much of her. We would like to acknowledge our most sincere thanks to all of you for your prayers, masses, calls, cards, food, gorgeous flowers, emails, other gifts, and memorials made to St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church in mom’s name. We would also like to thank anyone else who helped with the funeral Mass in any

way. The unselfish love you have shown has deeply touched our family and shows how many hearts mom

touched. A special thank you to Sarah Bates, Marie Ebbesmeyer and Becky Blackaby for the beautiful music, Fr. John Henderson’s kind words and his

faithfulness in visiting mom every Sunday at Monroe Manor, The Flower Shoppe, Jim and Pam Reinhard,

the Daughters of Isabella which mom was a lifelong member of for the beautiful job of leading the rosary

at the visitation and for the Honor Guard they provided at the funeral, and to the ladies of St. Frances Cabrini Altar Sodality for providing the lovely meal. We really

appreciated your willingness to do this and all your time and effort. A most grateful thank you to Monroe Manor for the care they provided mom these past three years,

and Preferred Hospice who helped make the end more peaceful.

As mom always said to everyone who left her room, “May God bless you”.

The Family of Kathylin Fields

We would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love that we have
