School security beefed up in local districts School security is a big issue these days. Local school districts have addressed that issue and have improved the ways to get into their buildings. On the Paris R-II campus you will notice small units now placed by certain doors. These multipurpose units do it all - it has a camera, a buzzer, it has audio, and records when “doorbell” is pushed. This unit can be found on the two doors at the Ag Building, on the south entrance of the high school, and on the door leaving the junior high leading to the junior high and one on the front door of the elementary building. “We do not have one on the junior high door because there is not a secretary there and we did not want students to be stuck without being able to enter the building,” said Superintendent Johnson. “If a student is locked out they can use the unit attached to the high school exit door to contact the secretary for entrance. Students are never locked out where they cannot gain access.” Superintendent Johnson explained about the new card reader system locks that are on other doors of the school and about the new security cameras that are up on both inside and outside of all district doors. For the camera system, the district administrators have the ability to view all the views on their computers, pulling specific views into a bigger panel for viewing. All the cameras have motion sensors that begin recording when any motion occurs, even according to the district superintendent, to passing vehicles. “We are not using this as ‘big brother is watching’ but as a tool to make our students safe,” said Superintendent Johnson. “However, it does allow us to go back and review the tape when a situation arises where we need visual proof of an event.” “Our students have the ability to be mobile between classes,” added Superintendent Johnson. “The district has assured the students have access to the building between classes.” Unlike regular keys, the new plastic key cards are discriminating. Administrators have access to all the doors but the teachers only have access to their own building doors. Also, when community members are using a certain building - a card can be created for that door for a certain period of time and then will expire and not be able to be used again. When swiped, even if expired, the

Making An Impact

Sportsmanship… What a great night of softball and football at the 2013 Paris R-II sponsored Softball and Football Jamborees on Saturday, Aug. 24. The fans from Paris coupled with fans from Westran, North Shelby and South Shelby showed true sportsmanship as they cheered with enthusiasm for both the softball ladies and the football guys. At both jamborees fans were polite, enthusiastic and dedicated for their home teams. In Paris the sports program is supplemented by the hard work of the members of the Sports Booster Club. Club President Erin Gruber is quick to point out that the club is the driving effort rallying to raise money to provide necessary equipment and supplies for the Paris R-II sports programs. It is through dedicated organizations, parents and fans that funds for school programs are helped and funded. The Paris Professional Education Foundation has helped fund and finance numerous projects for both teachers and students at the district. The Sports Booster Club has been at the forefront of the programs as they have worked hard to make sure that the sports program has the necessary uniforms, grandstands, bleachers, food stands and any other necessary accoutrements for the program. Monies are in short supply for the ancillary school programs as each dollar has to be strictly accounted for to make sure of academic success. That is the reason that clubs and organizations are such needed commodities. Teachers such as Mrs. Barb Mason are also an integral part of the financial puzzle as Mrs. Mason is a grant writing whiz who routinely
DAVID EALES
delivers quality technology grants vastly improving the district computers and technology without taxing the district coffers. It is through the efforts of individuals and members in the Parents and Teachers Association such as Glenda Miller who make sure elementary school supplies are available for those that want them each year. The PTSA is also active in surveying the teachers and students and making sure that whatever needs they can help with - are taken care of. A major plus for our local school districts is the fiscal responsibility of our school board members. Each of these members always does their due diligence whenever spending any of their respective districts’ monies. Numerous hours of research goes into any and all school expenditures. Last but not least it is through the efforts of our dedicated teachers who spend their own money in support of their classes. Teachers are always quick to supplement their supply monies to make sure they have everything their students need. It is through the energy and efforts of groups and individuals like this that help keep the students and staff stocked with necessary supplies and equipment, uniforms and practice equipment, and other necessary associated items. Have a great week!
MY TURN
Health Care Scam Watch The health care exchanges will begin in the states on October 1. Whether or not they are sponsored by the state or left to the federal government, there is a danger to potential insurance buyers. There will be con men ready to pounce on consumers by offering non- existent coverage with insurance companies that don’t exist either. There is real concern that individuals who are giving personal information in order to obtain health insurance coverage are in fact opening themselves up to identity theft. Both the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau have already issued warnings of possible identity theft that could result with the information being requested by such scams. In addition, there are expected insurance-like plans that will appear to offer much more coverage for health issues than they actually deliver. There will also be some not really insurance options being offered as discount medical plans that promise a bargain health care plan for a
monthly payment. They provide only very limited coverages and the buyers find that out when they become ill and realize that the coverage is much less than they thought. There will also be plans that offer set dollar amounts for each doctor or hospital visit without regard to what the actual charges will be to the patient. All of this potential fraud will be up to each state to detect and prosecute. Many states, including ours, are not that thrilled with the affordable care, A.K.A. Obamacare, which provides for mandatory coverage or fines. It remains to be seen then how enthusiastically they will pursue those who would take advantage of the opportunity to defraud Missouri consumers. It is hoped and expected that the state’s Attorney General, the Director of Insurance and Missouri prosecutors will do their respective jobs in dealing with such scams and fraudulent activities if and when they become aware of them. I believe that they are up to the task.

In our lives we have people whose words impact us and we have people we impact with our words. It can be a negative impact or a positive one. I want to focus on the positive so I am goLISA TALTON ing to share with you the words from two people who have enriched my life in a very positive way. The first person is someone I am very encouraged by every day just reading his Facebook posts. They are always filled with life and positivity. The aspect I love probably the most is they make me reflect on my life and give me a desire to improve areas I may be weak in. Here is his post from today: We should always be watching for those we encounter who may be wounded. Some people’s wounds are visibly open and untreated. Others wounds are much less visible, but are deep and exist on the bodies of those who seem most together. Because we can’t tell them from the outside who hurts on the inside, we should treat all we become acquainted with, with gentleness, respect and caring. - Jay Craig The other person is a young lady who is a sophomore in high school. She attends a group that I am a part of through a local church. At one meeting the girls were supposed to write what they liked about the group. This was her reply: When I first started coming I didn’t know anything about God and doubted his existence until I saw how passionately these women spoke of Him and taught if His love. Now I wonder how I thought that way before. So we impacted her but she also very much impact-

Debbie Coonrod, Chairman, Information and Protective Services distributed a MRTA flier, “Social Networking Tips”. Under New Business, Tom Shively was selected 2013 MRTA Distinguished Retiree of the Year, Region 3; Tom Shively was elected delegate and a donation of $75.00 for the Silent Auction was voted to be sent for the MRTA Annual Fall Meeting. Guest speaker, MRTA
Executive Director Jim Kreider, has served Missouri retired teachers in this role over the past ten years. Kreider focused on three brags: the organization has grown to 22,000+ members; the retirement system is funded at 85%; and MRTA is a powerful voice for retired teachers—e.g., in 12 days [between March 12-25] had 30,000 signatures on a petition to prevent a bill going forward and on Legislative Day had 700 teachers show up at the State Capitol. Kreider encouraged each to contact their legislators for a vote against the override. Kreider provided each a packet of pertinent literature about MRTA. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 15, in Paris. Hostesses will be Mary Beth Mitchell, Jane Callis and Ruth Mallory. MRTA is a 501(c) (4) not-for-profit corporation; independent, nonpartisan and does not endorse political candidates; and is a grassroots advocacy association with 151 units of retired teachers in Missouri.

PARIS R-II SCHOOL MENU
Management Intensive Grazing School set for Sept 6, 7 A Management Intensive Grazing School is planned for Sept. 6-7 at the Greenley Research Center, in Novelty. The grazing schools are designed to teach producers the basics of management-intensive grazing with a hands-on approach. The two-day workshop will provide opportunities for in-depth discussions and field exercises covering both agronomic and livestock topics related to grazing and livestock production on pastures. Topics include pasture species selection and management, fencing and watering systems, animal health on pasture, animal nutrition, pasture improvement techniques and economics of pasturing systems. Producers will have the opportunity to network with producers already using MIG as well as University of Missouri and USDA-NRCS experts in grazing. Management intensive
grazing (MIG) is based on four key factors: • meeting the nutrient requirements of the grazing animal; • optimizing forage yield, quality, and persistence; • environmental stewardship; and • integrating knowledge and technology into a practical and profitable management system. Cost for the grazing school is $80 for the first person, and $40 for the second person per farming operation (one set of materials). The fee includes reference materials and meals during the school. Registration deadline for the Novelty Grazing School location is Aug. 30. For more information or a brochure contact Karisha Devlin at the Knox County Extension Center (660) 397-2179. Extension programs are open to all persons.

Think about the different areas of our lives: the different worlds we live in... a peaceful evening at home, opposed to the hustle and bustle of career…the local ball game, compared to the waiting room at the doctor’s office. For each area of our lives, we have a separate set of priorities: differing in requisite levels of our physical, mental and emotional investment. We condone, yes even participate with, conflicting levels of action: screaming and cheering at the ball game, but sitting quietly at the doctor’s office. Those who know us in one environment might scarcely recognize us in another. Yet all of these characters we portray comprise the entirety of self; small wonder that we have difficulty understanding ourselves,
E Y E
let alone our neighbors. And how could you love such a one as me: full of foibles and inconsistencies? Or how could anyone likewise love you? For all the hats we wear, for all the games we play, there is One who remains steadfast…one who formed the very rocks upon which we stand. Malachi 3:6 tells us, “For I am the Lord, I change not.” Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever…” Herein is embodied an unchanging, unswerving fortress of consistency upon and with whom we can take rest. For all of life’s daunt, we have an open arm in which to flee: even if it is from self we need escape. Herein lies our hope…let us make full use of such hope.
SENIOR NEWS Flood Cleanup Tips
By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent
One of the most devastating things that can happen to a homeowner is not only a flood, but also the cleanup. Even if you’ve taken preliminary emergency planning steps, flood cleanup can present a real challenge. It requires a great deal of caution because much more than just water can be left behind, like mold, broken gas lines, and unwanted wildlife. In addition, much of the cleanup will be for contaminants you can’t see. That’s why it’s important to take some precautions to help you stay safe. Safety Before the Cleanup Wait for clearance. Return home only after authorities advise it is safe to do so. Contact the appropriate authorities. If you suspect damage to water, gas, electric, or sewer lines, report it immediately to the utility company, police, or fire department. Check for structural damage. Before reentering your home, make sure it is structurally sound. Do not enter if there is any chance of collapse. Keep power off. Don’t turn on the power until an electrician has inspected your system for safety. Also, do not wade into standing water in your basement unless you are sure the electricity to your home is off. Make sure electrical equipment is dry. Electrical equipment, such as the sump pump and furnace motors, should be dry before use to avoid producing severe shocks. Avoid open flames indoors. In case of gas leaks, use a flashlight instead of candles or anything with an open flame. Check for leaking gas. Inspect gas and oil furnaces and gas hot water heaters for leaks and to ensure that pilot flames are lit. If gas is escaping, do not light a match until the gas supply has been shut off. If you are unfamiliar with how to do this, contact your local gas company or a professional heating contractor. Beware of wild animals in your home. Keep an eye out for snakes or other animals that may have taken refuge in your home after being driven to higher ground by floodwater. If you see a wild animal in your home, try to find a safe and humane way to help it exit your property. Safety During the Cleanup Minimize skin exposure. Wear protective clothing such as rubber gloves, goggles and heavy-duty boots. Wash your hands with warm water and soap even after wearing gloves. Protect existing cuts or scrapes. Make sure any cuts or scrapes you might have don’t come into contact with contaminated floodwaters. If you receive a puncture wound when working in a contaminated area, see your doctor immediately. Sterilize or discard anything touched by floodwaters. Due to potential bacterial contamination, clean and disinfect everything that was touched by floodwaters or mudflows. Since fabrics can harbor harmful bacteria for long periods, take special care when laundering clothing, bedding and other similar materials. Throw out all packaged and unpackaged food items, medicines, medical supplies and cosmetics that were exposed. Boil water. To kill harmful microorganisms, boil water for drinking and food preparation until authorities tell you that your water supply is safe. Protect against mold. Remove wet contents immediately, such as carpeting, furniture, and bedding, to help prevent mold. Set up dehumidifiers and oscillating fans around affected rooms to dry the area. Keep children and pets away. Wait until the after cleanup is done before letting your kids and animals return home. By following these flood cleanup tips, you can help protect your home and family from further harm. And remember, if you have flood insurance coverage, call your insurance agent to file a claim. Have a list of damaged or lost items from your inventory ready, along with photos of damaged property.

“Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the LORD your God, also the earth with all that is in it.” – Deuteronomy 10:14 Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m. “Praise Him” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture read by Minister Debra Adams-Romans 8:35-39 “Whatever You Need, God’s Got It” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting) was directed by Minister Kelly Ballenger. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s constant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Addictive Failures.” “Leaning On The Everlasting Arms” – sung by FaithWalk Choir “Bless The Lord, Oh My Soul” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “It is Settled With God, How About You?” -Where are you in your perception and conception of the fact that things are settled with God? -Psalm 119:89-91 -‘Heaven’ is translated as creation. ‘Settled’ – is translated as appointed, established, set up, and complete. -Connect to the One who has it all settled. -Identify where you are spiritually, to the point that you know that you
On Sunday, Aug. 25, 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: Aug. 27 is Church make-up pictures day. September 2 will be the annual fish fry at the church at 5:30 and will be a fundraiser for the next youth mission trip. Sept. 7 is men’s breakfasts at 8:30 a.m., and all men in the community are welcome. Sept. 15 will be a dinner at 5:30 p.m., for the 145-year celebration for Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Sept. 20-21 there will be a fundraiser at Camp Cedar Crest and Mt. Airy will provide the meat for the BBQ and the Mountain Airs will play at 1 p.m., on Sept. 21. This week’s message was entitled ‘God Knows Your Love for Him’ and came from 1 Jn. 3:4-10. The Bible has many definitions for sin. This Scripture’s definition is lawlessness, which is the defiance of God’s will and law. The focus is on the lifestyle of sin, not on the occasional sin of the believer. John is not talking about the idea of perfectionism. John wanted the believers to know God’s love comes with rules and standards for His children. Look up 1 Jn. 2:3 and while believers are not under the power of the Law of Moses we are under the law to Christ (1 Cor.9:21). Believers cannot live like the world does yet there are churches that teach worldly things are all right for the believer to accept. Things like abortion, homosexuality, the Word of God is fallible, divorce and sex before marriage is normal. He
cannot live without Him. -Psalm 148:5-6 -James 1:17-18 -There is no variableness in God. He is the true Light, the Father of Lights. There is no light greater than God that can shine brighter than Him! Therefore, nothing can shine on Him and cause Him to have a shadow. God NEVER makes any errors; nothing takes Him by surprise, and He is Never out of balance. -18-God used Jesus Christ (His own), and brought us back to be born again (II Cor. 5:17) – it is settled! It is time that you live your new life in noticeable distinction of the incorruptible seed! -I Peter 1:23, 3-4, 25 -It is up to you to obey the truth and be untainted with no strings attached. -Believe the Word of God to get the benefits of the Word of God when you receive it. Time was offered at the altar for salvation and prayer. Announcement: FaithWalk Ministries, Inc. is pleased to invite you to come and celebrate with us in Appreciation of our Bishop and First Lady Long! There will be two services: a Pre-Anniversary service on Sept. 7, at 2 p.m., and the Anniversary service on Oct. 19, at 1 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday, - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!
who lives a lifestyle of sin lives in rebellion to God. Christians cannot live a life of habitual willful sin. We know Jesus left glory to come and take our sins away. We know we cannot go back to the hog trough of life. Jesus cleansed us with His blood and living a rebellious sinful lifestyle makes a mockery of the Cross of Christ. Do not be deceived by false teachers, the world, or the devil. Yes, the devil is real; Jesus thought so and so does John. Jesus came and destroyed the power of the devil in the lives of those who come to Jesus by faith. The war on sin is over although the battles between the spirit and the flesh continue. Satan may win a battle once in awhile but it will be a short-term victory. Jesus has rendered the power of Satan ineffective against the believer. Understand this as a fact for the believer is born again by the seed of God. 1 Pt.1:23 proclaims this rebirth is of incorruptible, by the Word of God, and is eternal. Of course the only way to enter into the new birth is having faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Jn.5:1 – Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Yet the battle of purity and sin rages on in the flesh. A converted Indian summed it up like this: I have two dogs in me, a bad dog who wants me to do bad and a good dog who wants me to do good. Wants to know which one wins? The one I feed the most, it is stronger. Feed your new nature with the Word of God and you will have the strength to live a godly life. It is our responsibility to live according to the new nature God has given us.

The first question for the children was “Who do you belong to?” Answer, Mommy and Daddy.” “Who Made You?” Answer, “God”. God created you to love Him. The purpose God made you was to Love someone. Showing love we give to those in need, food, money and our time. God gives us His Spirit in us to love others. Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship. The choir under directed of Cheryl Gholson presented special music, “Love Unchanging”. Brenda Ensor and Cyndi Rush led children’s church. Rev. Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from James 1:2-4 entitled “Testing Your Faith”. James was the half brother of Christ. James understood the challenge of faith after the death of Christ. When facing trials, James says in verse 2, “… consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters.” And in verse 3, “... because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance .” When our faith is tested our dependence on God increases and we become “mature and complete, not lacking anything”.

sometimes nothing good happens - so we give up... Stop - just leave it alone let God take care of it. The fig tree - the mustard seed and the yeast into bread. It all takes patience - just as the kingdom is coming - don’t give up! God is doing something wonderful and good...our personal healing is coming... This life is frustrating and hard - but as we gather God is doing wonderful things. Do your best! Don’t give up, let God be the gardener and make life brand new - God will do what you are praying for if it is His will... The offertory was led by Earl Sweitzer as Patti played “Oh Lord, You’re Beautiful” and all sang the “Doxology”. Patti played “Here I Am Lord” as all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are invited to attend. “And He spoke also this parable....”Luke 13:6

•• DID YOU KNOW? ••
Biggest Change in Education in History..
The implementation of Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is the biggest change in Education in United States history. CCSS are standards for each grade level, K-12 in English Language Arts and Math. These standards outline what students should know and do at each grade level in schools across the country. How will students be assessed and what is the cost to states and local schools? These tests are literally an unfunded mandate. Missouri is part of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) which is funded by the Federal Government. These assessments will be computer based with part human scoring on written portions. All students K-12 will participate in some level of testing. Compare the current cost of $9.00 per student per test to approximately $28.00 per student with common core assessments. Source: www. News tribune.com A study by Pioneer Institute shows an estimated cost to the states will be $16 billion. One time costs to states is estimated at 10.5 billion. This includes training for teachers, technology, textbooks and other instructional materials. An estimate of $503 million will be imposed in the first year of operations. Accountability Works developed an analysis of additional $801 million annually in years 2-7 for on going support. The 16 billion is almost four times the Race to the Top Grants. States and local taxpayers will be responsible for 90% of these bills. These assessments should be fully functional in 2014-2015 school year. What can taxpayers of Monroe County expect from the local school to implement this plan? No costs estimates have been published at this time. Next week: Is the implementation of Common Core Constitutional?

OPTIMISTS LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER LIVES
Optimists live longer, healthier lives than pessimists, U.S. researchers found in a study that may give pessimists one more reason to grumble. Researchers at University of Pittsburgh looked at rates of death and chronic health conditions among participants of the Women’s Health Initiative study, which has followed more than 100,000 women ages 50 and over since 1994. Women who were optimistic - those
who expect good rather than bad things to happen - were 14 percent less likely to die from any cause than pessimists and 30 percent less likely to die from heart disease after eight years of follow up in the study. Optimists also were also less likely to have high blood pressure, diabetes or smoke cigarettes. The team, led Dr. Hilary Tindle, also looked at women who were highly mistrustful of other peo-
ple, a group they called “cynically hostile,” and compared them with women who were more trusting. Women in the cynically hostile group tended to agree with questions such as: “I’ve often had to take orders from someone who didn’t know as much as I did” or “It’s safest to trust nobody,” Tindle said. “These questions prove a general mistrust of people,” said Tindle, who presented her study
Thursday at the American Psychosomatic Society’s annual meeting in Chicago. That kind of thinking takes a toll. Cynically hostile women were 16 percent more likely to die during the study period compared to women who were the least cynically hostile. They were also 23 percent more likely to die from cancer. Tindle said the study does not prove negative attitudes cause negative health effects, but she said the findings do appear to be linked in some way. “I think we really need more research to design therapies that will target people’s attitudes to see if they can be modified and if that modification is beneficial to health,” she said. And she said while a pessimist might think, “’I’m doomed. There is nothing I can do,’ I’m not sure that’s true,” Tindle said. “We just don’t know. But staying positive and keeping a good attitude does seem to help individual’s longevity and overall health.” Source of information: http://www.brookdaleliving.com/senior-living-articles.aspx

The Paris Lady Coyotes return to the field this season under the direction of a new head coach – Mike Fible. Coach Fible will have Gretchen O’Bryan in the first base coaching box this season. The blue and white Lady Coyotes look to improve upon last year’s 1410 overall record. Returning letter winners include Jill Nobis, Josey Ball and Rachel Blades. Lost to graduation were All Everything’s (Conference, District, Region) Payton Gruber and Kayla Langerud, All Conference Haley Fredrick, Lauren Embree and Rachel Forbis. Coach Fible looks to Shortstop Jill Nobis, Outfielder Kaylee Callison and Pitcher, Second baseman Josey Ball to be players to watch for this season. Coach Fible notes that the team strengths include hitting for contact and the team’s speed. The team has multi goals in mind to accomplish this season including advancing into the playoffs, win the conference and play competitive
in each and every game. Coach Fible sees Salisbury, Marceline and Westran as the class of the conference. As for his coaching philosophy, Coach Fible believes – to focus on all fundamentals, being able to make the routine play every time.

Team All-Conference. Team strengths: “This is the second year for all the golfers,” said Coach Skinner. “Last year I told them that I wanted them to learn how to play the game and be ready to take over this year. Two of the girls made the varsity team as first year players. I am excited to see how they do with a year under their belts.” Team Goals: We are still in the learning process with these girls so we want to continue to improve throughout the sea-
son and play our best golf toward the end,” added Coach Skinner. “We want to compete for a conference title and send some girls to sectionals.” Predicted Conference Finish: “If the girls continue to improve from last year we should be in the top half of the conference,” added Coach Skinner. Coaching Philosophy: “I want to introduce the game of golf to as many students as possible because it is a great game that a lot of kids never get
exposed to when they are young,” said Coach Skinner. “I want to teach the students how to play the game so they can enjoy it for the rest of their lives.” It will be a busy season for the blue and white Lady Coyotes as they travel to Heritage Hills numerous times and host the Paris Tournament, Cairo, Westran (with Glasgow and Cairo) and Salisbury. Districts, Sectionals and State golf will all be played Oct. 10 through Oct. 21.

FALL SPORTS PREVIEW
Panthers deep in pitching, solid on defense The Madison Panthers Fall Season finds Coach Bryant Jones returning to the coaching box assisted by Lexa Brooks and Caleb Lewis. The Panthers were 4-7 last fall and 5th in the CAC. Returning lettermen include Blake Brown (All Conference and All District), Tyler Bennett (All Conference and All District), Jacob Wandrey (All Conference), Blaine Love, Austin Freels, Dustin Ketchem and Ricardo Gonzalez. Blake Hultz (All Conference and All District) was lost to graduation. According to Coach Jones, Blake Brown was going to be their Number One pitcher and shortstop; however, they will be leaning on him to lead at the plate as he recovers from a strain in the elbow. Tyler Bennett, Jacob Wandrey and Blaine Love will all share the ball on the mound with Dustin Ketchem also pitching and batting lead off. As always the Panthers expect to have good pitching that challenges the strike zone and hope-
fully gives their solid defense plenty of opportunities. Last year they were a young team, however, they return nearly everyone back with a full year of experience. The team goals are not lofty but measurable as the Panthers expect to compete for a conference title. The conference had three teams reach the elite 8 last season and one who reached the final four in the CAC. Coach Jones notes that the Panthers, “have their work cut out for them.” Coach Jones notes that Sturgeon, New Franklin and Cairo will all be ranked in the Top 10 next Spring and their goal is to break that Top 3. “We have already had some adversity thrown our way with Blake’s injury, but we’re lucky enough to have good depth on our pitching staff that I think that’s a reachable goal, to compete for a conference title,” said Coach Jones. As noted the Panther strengths should be their pitching and a solid defense that will make those routine plays; then they can use their running game and play some possible small ball to score
The Madison Lady Panthers head to the field led by second year head coach Bryant Jones with assistant Lexa Brooks. The Lady Panthers finished last season with a 5-0 loss to eventual state champions Silex. To play Silex they defeated county rival Paris to advance to the semi final game. The Lady Panthers finished with a 7-11 record (1-5 in CAC play) for the season. Returning this season is All District player Allie Dunkin. Lost top graduation were All Conference, All District, All region pitcher Angela Purdy, Crystal Sanders, Jami Westfaul, Hannah Grimsley, Bridget Hancock and All Conference, All District Jessica Stoebe. Players on Coach Jones’ watch list include third baseman Samantha LeGrand, shortstop Niki Sims, Breanna Hancock, Jenna Stoebe, Katie Youse, Lindsey Hendren and Allie Dunkin. “We are returning several players from last year’s team who have been in the program a full season now, as well as a large freshman group that
I hope can have a big impact,” said Coach Jones. “We finished 6th out of 7 teams in the CAC last season and we would like to build on that and climb up the pecking order.” Coach Jones noted that just like in all other sports the CAC is a deep conference. They are going to have to really work to get into the top 3 teams. Cairo, New Franklin and Sturgeon will be tough again this year. Coach Jones thinks that the team has a good mix of experienced players and freshmen. They hope to integrate those young kids as they develop and become ready to get them as much experience as possible before district just like last year. “We have to use the regular season to develop as much as possible and hopefully be playing our best ball when districts start, just like last year,” said Coach Jones. “This year’s group has put in a lot of hard work this summer that is going to give us a head start compared to last year,” noted Coach Jones. “Hopefully, we can be better defensively and of-

some runs. “We are hoping to build on a 15-2-1 summer season that we’ll hope prepare us for this fall,” said Coach Jones. “We’ve made a lot of good progress, now we have to make sure we build on that and keep moving
forward.” Madison opens the season hosting Cairo on Thursday, Aug. 29 and then New Franklin on Friday, Aug. 30. Next week on Tuesday, Sept. 3 they travel to Brunswick and then Thursday to Atlanta.
fensively, the x-factor will be our pitching. If we can consistently throw strikes, challenge that zone, we will be fine.” The Lady Panthers open the season hosting

Happy 65th Anniversary to
EVERT and DOROTHY KENDRICK on Thursday, Aug. 29!
Love, Your Family
Pastor Kenny’s message today was titled, “Real Family.” Scripture was taken from Ruth 1: 16-17, 1 Samuel 20: 41-42, Genesis 45 and Revelations 21: 24-27. Real family sticks things out through thick and thin. We are to reign in, encourage, support and strengthen our family. We need to pray over our bodies, marriages and families as well as the body of Christ. Real family practices forgiveness, and doesn’t hold grudges. We’ve got to learn to forgive and restore the body of Christ. Pastor Kenny did a children’s message today about communication. He used various types of electronics that provide communication in our world to share news, talk to family and friends and in the work place. Prayer is the most powerful form of communication because it is the direct line to God. Prayers for Lindel Wilson, school children and staff, Taylor family, Angela Wilkerson, Keith Woodhurst, Carolyn Pearson, Charlotte Omer, Deana Quincy, Jack Birch, Tracy Huffman’s family, Martin Olivas, Isaiah Olivas, Ivan Farnsworth, Alice Wilkens, Steve Jones, Stanley Vaughn, Rodney Schutte, Condra Walker, Louise Hurley, marriages. Praises were for Dane Kendrick doing well from back surgery and gave thanks for prayers, Kathy Laird sharing story of
