It’s Inevitable
BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net
Community... Anyone who reads these words in this column knows I am not from Paris or anywhere near Paris. I was born in Montreal and spent my high school years in New Jersey close to New York City (A city so nice they named it twice New York, New York). So in short I grew up in cities that had numerous 000,000,000 in their population totals. When we moved to Paris - population 1,260 Sally just told me to think of it this way - since I grew up in an area with 12,000,000 people just add a few zeros to the end of the Paris number and I would be home. Well to be exact that is not true. Home was never like our close knit, friendly, helpful town. This past weekend you saw numerous individuals and groups step up to the plate and make this a fantastic weekend for the annual Fall-In-To Paris. The annual event is not just a chamber sponsored day of fun and merriment. It is numerous merchants and organizations putting their best foot forward to help make it the day it is. These same merchants never say no when asked to donate, give, provide or gift any organization that comes a calling. So it is not even close to being the same as “home” was. It is exciting to put my
DAVID EALES
feet on the floor each day and see what is going to happen today. Will it be a Connie Hancock “made with love’ cheeseburger? Will it be the smiles and welcomes from the ladies at the Paris National Bank? Will it be the volunteering and helpfulness of Regional Missouri Bank employees? Will it be Taylor Ross dedicating my favorite song at Fall-In-To Paris? Will it be the smiles and warm greetings form the seniors the Paris Senior Citizen’s Center? Will it be the genuine smiles and hellos of our students when I visit the schools? No matter what it is and there are tons more examples it is “home” and home is here. Thank you to everyone whop participated in this year’s Fall-In-To Paris whether participating in the entertainment, selling or buying, or just taking part. Congratulations to Monroe Manor the Chamber Business of the Year!
MY TURN
New Education with New Standards and New Technology An archived copy of My Turn Some of the objections to the Common Core State Standards which have been adopted by forty states, including Missouri, may be. Alleviated by technological advances in the near future. The idea of the standards that were developed by diverse state educators was to develop learning goals for all students, wherever they build that would provide a clean picture of academic expectations at each grade level and were at the same time practical for the students’ preparation for post-secondary education and for a competitive work force. The focus of these standards are in English Language Arts and mathematics. New im the Language Arts Standard would be some regular practice with complex text and its vocabulary. For mathematics the standards would include deeper learning in understanding mathematical concepts among other things. State led efforts are already underway to develop standards-based curriculum and materials to help states implement the standard and share and work together to do so. At the same time a number of private companies are starting to market data that personalizes education with adaptive learning technologies and promises to make the one size fits all curriculums a thing of the past. Teachers have always
engaged in a basic form of personalized learning by giving extra credit assignments to challenge students and keep them focused. It is impossible to provide one on one teaching on a mass scale but technology will make it as close as it gets. Big companies and wealthy inventors are interested in education technology and are putting their money and effort into development of adaptive products. For math the adaptive program might work as follows: a student is found ready by the program to advance to new problems he or she has not seen before. The student picks one of several choices. That choice goes to a huge data server in the cloud to an algorithm that is programmed to measure the time it took to answer, the answer itself, the student’s answer to many other questions and the answers of hundreds of thousands of others to the same or similar questions in order to decide what the next question on the screen will be. If the question of student privacy is resolved by then use of coded numbers and otherwise, these vast database will allow teachers to identify problems their students have before and not after their tests. It will also be private business that profits from these advances and government will have no role except insuring that quality education is appropriately funded for its important role in our future.

How does it happen? When does it happen? One minute you think people over thirty are old and next thing you know you are looking at a thirty year old and thinking, “Wow. They are so young.” You find yourself saying things to children that adults use to say to you like, “You have gotten so big. Last time I saw you, you were only knee high.” You also find yourself cracking jokes to others your age like, “How is it all these kids are getting older but we are getting younger?” You understand what your parents were talking about when they said how fast you had grown up and how they remembered like it was yesterday when you were a baby. Believe me when I say I do not want to go back to my teenage years nor do I wish I was younger because I really do appreciate

all I have learned and how much I have grown as a person and in my relationship with God. But, and there is always a but, there are some things about this getting older thing that I am not so fond of. Let me share one with you: What is it with these weird hairs in weird places that can virtually go undetectable(to you not others) until you are in certain sunlight. I can remember my Pastor’s wife telling me that odd things happen when you turn 40. I just kind of chuckled when she said it because of course I was not 40 yet.

They all looked at me waiting to see what great feat I was needing them to help me conquer. After I had their complete attention I said, “I am going to need all of you to keep a look out for any little hairs down around my chin.” They all looked at me for a moment with their eyes focused around my chin area and then said okay. Two of them went back to watching T.V. but the other one came up closer to me and started staring at my chin. He looked and looked from all different angles and then said, Nope I don’t see any but I will keep my eyes opened.” *I have more I could share but would rather hear from you the readers about the interesting things you have occurred as you have gotten older.

But by golly it seemed a day or so after I turned 40 I started having these little hairs under my chin. (Not by the hair on my chinny chin chin, never rang so true as it did that first day I discovered that first hair.) It was and still is a nuisance. One day at the salon I was telling my stylist about these pesky little hairs. As I was laying back getting my hair washed she not only saw what I was talking about but noticed one of these little hairs was not so little. Yes, it was thin and not very dark but the length was embarrassing. That day I went home and asked my husband how he had not noticed it. He just looked at me like “Huh?” Then I said, Hey, I need you to look at my face more often and look for things like that. For some reason I am not seeing them and this one got way out of hand.” He gave me that look I get quite often like “Okay Lisa.” I think he thought I was joking but I was serious. I knew I couldn’t detect these on

Monroe Manor recognized by Chamber as Business of the Year
by Denny Hollingsworth Monroe Manor Nursing Home was named the Paris Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2014 Business of the Year during Fall Into Paris festivities Saturday, Sept. 27. Chamber president David Eales, in announcing the award, said a criteria for being eligible for the annual honor was, “The business selected must contribute to keeping Paris on the map.” Anyone knowing the list of the Manor’s residents and outpatients is aware of how the local facility brings people from outside the county to Paris for care and therapy and the exemplary reputation it possesses being the county’s longest serving nursing home. Manor administrator Shari Embree, who has contributed many hours of service to the chamber and various community events over the years, said she appreciated the honor bestowed on the Manor and said she felt the recognition was a direct result of work exhibited by the facility’s excellent staff. “I think our nursing and support staff and their professional expertise is what keeps generating interest in our home,” Mrs. Embree said. “We have a dedicated group of employees that are ever vigil in caring for our

Blades’ host scores of PHS grads for evening dinner by Denny Hollingsworth Linda and Kent Blades turned their northern rural Monroe County home’s yard and garage into a site for multiple classes Paris High School reunion Saturday afternoon and evening, Sept. 27. More than 100 people from PHS classes ranging between the late 1950s through the 1960s assembled for the social gathering. Kent said the idea for the event came two years ago when his 1962 class joined with the 1961 PHS class for a reunion dinner. “After that combined
excellent entertainment. This year’s entertainment was the excellent and well received Becky Blackaby and Band; Taylor Ross and Joyful Sounds. Monroe Manor was named the 2014 Paris Area Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. Manor Director Shari Embree and staff received this year’s award. Food vendors for Fall-In-To Paris served a variety of scrumptious foods for everyone including ribeye sandwiches, pulled pork, pork steaks, brats, hot dogs, fried potatoes, soups, sandwiches, homemade pies, walking tacos, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn, and drinks. The onsite vendors were attended by an appreciative crowd. There was indeed something for everyone. The Paris Area Chamber of Commerce held the annual breakfast, in the Senior Citizen’s Center. The Little Toot Express Train and Bounce House, sponsored by the chamber for four hours, which allowed area residents to use them for free, was a huge success and a youth magnet as witnessed by the long lines at the “train station.” In other activities: Crowned Little Miss and Mr. Farmer, sponsored by the Farm Bureau Young Farmers, were Ella Totten (Stoutsville) and Aaron Pfanner (Paris). All participants in the contest rode on the train in the parade. The chamber sponsored this year’s chili contest, which was held on the courthouse lawn. Again this year, Fall-In-To-Paris participants judged the chili contest. This year’s winners included: First Place – Glenn Laws; Second Place – Harvey Berry; and Third Place – Julie Ford. As soon as the final trash can was emptied the planning committee began looking toward next year’s event and how to make it even bigger and better.
reunion Linda said we should get together with her class of 1963 sometime and the idea just kept growing; then we thought why not invite everybody we’d been in high school with, classes from 1958 to 1966, and that turned into let’s invite everybody from the 1960s.” The Blades prepared 15 pounds of beef, along with pulled pork and barbecued chicken. The meal was supplemented by covered dishes from those attending. Kent said 100 people signed a pad that that was passed among the crowd, but some missed recording their names.

Your babysitter uses your car to drive your kids to the swimming pool. Your brother-in-law borrows your car for the weekend. You’ve given them your permission— but what happens if there’s an accident when someone else is behind the wheel of your car? “Generally it’s not a problem if they’re driving with your consent,” says Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president of Public Affairs and consumer spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute. “If it’s an occasional use—say I borrow your car to go pick up milk—and as long as permission has been verbally granted, you’ll typically be covered.” But borrowing a car under other circumstances may not be as clear-cut. (Coverage will depend on your insurer and your particular policy.) Typically, even if the person driving your car has his or her own insurance, your insurance will likely pay damages first if there’s an accident. The driver’s insurance may cover some of the personal injury or medical expenses, and it may supplement your plan if the accident maxes out your coverage. “When you have someone you employ, such as a nanny or a nurse who will be a regular driver, contact your insurance agent about your coverage,” Salvatore recommends. “He or she may need to be added to your policy.” Because the policy terms and state laws can vary widely, always contact your insurance agent before loaning out your car—or any other motor vehicle, such as a motorcycle, boat, jet ski, snowmobile, ATV or RV. “Any time you have a question about your coverage, call your insurance agent first,” says Salvatore. “You always want to let the insurance company know the circumstances. Get their advice.” “Don’t be cavalier about lending your car,” adds Salvatore. “If you know someone isn’t a good driver, think twice about giving your permission. Any accident they’re in could go on your insurance record.” Contact your State Farm® agent to learn more about your auto coverage. This article contains only a general description of coverages and is not a contract. Details of coverage or limits vary in some states. All coverages are subject to the terms, provisions, exclusions, and conditions in the policy itself and in any endorsements - See more at: http://learningcenter.statefarm.com/insurance/ auto-1/when-someone-else-drives-your-car/#sthash. hJiiBKuY.dpuf Not sure what to do about your car’s damage?

“Just One” was the title of Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon with scripture taken from Luke 15:1-10. This scripture passage was the two parables of the one lost sheep and a lost coin. It was very important to find the one lost thing, i.e. sheep and coin, but it is more important to find the “one” lost soul. We all know what it’s like to lose something and how much effort we put into finding it, so how much effort do we put into helping the lost souls of the world? The sad thing is that the lost people don’t know they are lost and how important it is to receive salvation from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We should make it our priority every day to make sure everyone knows of the Word. What choice have you made for your eternal home -Heaven or hell? Serving at the Lord’s Table were Dan Sharp, Charlie Horstmeier, Don Wilkerson, Bob Conley, Wayne Conley and Bill Miller. Dickie Johnson and Kyley Johnson came forward at the end of the church service to accept Christ and to be baptized at a date to be announced later. The Salt Saturday youth group put together 101 boxes of food for the Missouri Food program this past Saturday. These boxes will stay and help families only in the state of Missouri. They are now making preparations for their trip to the Festival of Sharing in Sedalia on October 17 and 18. There are 30 church members planning to make the trip. Their next mission project will be filling a Shoebox for children through Samaritan’s Purse organization. Church members were encouraged to help fill a box from each family and to also include a personal note with for the child who will receive the gift box. A thank you note was read from the South Park School in Moberly for school supplies they received to help their students. Susan Kendrick is a teacher at this school. Other upcoming events: Sunday, October 12 - Women’s Salad Supper at 6 p.m., with Rev Barbara Zastrow presenting the program on her trip to Israel in 2013; Saturday, October 25 - Wiener Roast and hayride at 6 p.m.; Saturday, November 1 - Lord’s Acre Supper and Auction starting at 5 p.m. Bible Study is every Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m., with a carry in meal prior at 6 p.m. Sunday School is every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m., followed by church service at 10:30 a.m. We have Sunday School classes for every age group. Also, Ashley Kendrick and Jill Kendrick teach children’s church during the main sermon. Please come and join us!
On Sunday, September 28 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: October 1 we will begin a new Bible study called ‘True Spirituality – Becoming a Romans 12 Christian’, October 5 will be the Lord’s Suffer during morning service, October 25 at 6 p.m. will be the Weiner Roast and Hay Ride at the church, and KJAB is having its Share A Thon. The message this week was titled ‘Returning to The Lord’ and came from Zechariah 1:1-6. Zechariah is called a Prophet of Hope. The 50,000 Jews that returned to Jerusalem needed a word of hope. They were strangers in the land and surrounded by hostile people. The Jews had once again begun work on God’s Temple but needed encouragement by knowing the work was worthwhile. During the sixteen years the work on God’s Temple had ceased, the Jews had become busy with life. We all know how that is. Becoming too busy to really do what God desires of us because we have committed to too many things in the world. It seemed as if the Jews were getting along better in the world than they were with God because they did not know how to receive God’s blessings. Zechariah’s message of hope begins with God’s anger at the people sins. This is a blessing because until a person knows that God will not put up with sin they will not seek a solution to their sin (grace). This is the true Gospel – first God’s anger at sin and then God’s solution to sin. Zechariah wanted the people to know God blesses His people in God’s appointed time; they were not forgotten. God wants man to turn to Him. Not to return to the Law or religious duties, but to a personal God. This ‘turn’ means to repent and get rid of your sin. One cannot hold on to sin and return to God at the same time. God loves the sinner and hates the sin but the sin must be separated from the sinner at some point or we are just mocking God. God will not be mocked. Zechariah finishes with a history lesson with three points. First lesson is about their ancestor’s disobedience and the price that was paid for it. They refuse to listen and obey God and paid dearly. The second lesson is about delaying to return to God. Spiritual opportunity does not last forever. Their fathers and the prophets had died and soon they would also die – just like us. Respond to God today for we may not have tomorrow. The third lesson is about divine discipline. Because of disobedience the nation had went into captivity until they came to their senses. They admitted God was right and they were wrong. True repentance always exonerated God and accepts responsibility for sin. Even though their fathers and the prophets had died, God Word was still with them and is always true. When God’s Word warns o disciple it is not an idle threat – it overtook their fathers. But those who turn back to God are indeed His children and have blessing in store for them in God’s appropriate time. God does not ever forget His children.

The Sunday, September 28 worship hour for the Perry Christian Church began with the choir singing “Spirit of the Living God” . Pastor for the service was Nancy Kellstrom. The golf tournament held on Saturday was a big success and plans are underway for next year. The youth will again be collecting walnuts. The hymn of praise was “Open the Eyes of My Heart”. Floyd Seelow gave thanks for his recent recovery. Joyce Coleman reported Cross Evans was doing good. Leroy Young will be celebrating a birthday on October 5. “Sweet Hour of Prayer” was the prayer hymn. Our sympathies are for the family of Judy Biggers. “Hear Our Prayer, O Lord” was the response. Pastor Nancy gave the invitation to share the Lord’s Supper. Greg Harrison and Shirley Levings served as elders. Deacons were Carol Norman, Eunice Fisher, Anthony Elam and David Lewellen. The choir was joined by Pastor Nancy as they sang “Pass It On”. Jeannie Gay spoke to the children about riddles as she explained how Jesus sometimes used riddles to teach His disciples. Matthew 21:23-32 was read by John DiMaria for the pastor’s sermon “Practicing without a License”. Jesus used His authority given by God to throw out evil and practice healing. He taught God works in our behalf because His power is even stronger than our beliefs. “Trust and Obey” was the invitation hymn. The pastor offered the benediction and the service closed singing “Yesterday, Today, Forever”

In the second quarter Gruber scored his second TD of the game with a 14 yard run dodging tacklers and allowing his line to set up blocks for him and danced into the end zone. The second score of the quarter was a perfect 22 yard toss from Popkes to a streaking Laine Forrest who outran his defenders for a Coyote score.

Lady Coyotes take 3-2 Marceline win
The Paris Lady Coyotes played flawless softball versus conference foe Marceline on Thursday, Sept. 25, in a 3-2 win. Hannah Bartels took home the win with a stellar pitching performance. She pitched a complete game 7 innings allowing only the 2 earned runs while striking out 5 and walking 4. Offensively, Paris plated three runs in the first inning after trailing 1-0 in the Marceline first inning. Marceline added a single run in the third inning but the combination of the Paris defense and Bartels pitching shut down the Lady Tigers and clinched the Lady Coyote win. Alex Dreckshage, Brooke rentschler and Hannah Bartels each had a hit and an RBI in the contest. Madison Wheelan, Rachel Blades and Drew Lockhart scored the Lady Coyote runs. Blades, Lockhart and Britany Williams also had Lady Coyote hits. “Another great conference win for us last night to put us 2-1 in conference so far,” said Coach Mike Fible. “Once again we played flawless defense behind Hannah Bartels. It was a great team effort last night through out the line-up. We have really come together the last few weeks and the girls are realizing that we control our own destiny going into the last few weeks of the season. Next week will be a big test for us. We play district opponent Monday at Sturgeon and Tuesday we play conference opponent at Westran. Things are getting really exciting for the Lady Coyote softball team right now.

Xi Gamma Rho craft show celebrates 40 years
Forty years ago gas was 55 cents a gallon, Richard Nixon resigned from the Presidency, Aldrin and Armstrong landed on the Moon, hooded shirts and polyester suits were the new fashion trends, Saturday Night Live started on television, and the Xi Gamma Rho Gift and Craft Show made it’s first appearance the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 1974 was a busy year for the eighteen members of the Xi Gamma Rho Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi as they planned the first Gift and. Craft Show that was held in the American Legion Hall in Paris. There were 18 different booths and the members prepared and served a soup and sandwich lunch. The show moved to the High School Gym after four years and has remained there ever since and grown to 47 plus booths. Since the Chapter is only 11 members strong, the lunch is now prepared by the Young Farm Wives. They feature a full menu of sandwiches, vegetable soup, chili, and homemade pies and cake. Members of the Xi Gamma Rho Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi are Sharon Allgood, Mary Sue Branham, Sandy Carter, Sandra Francis, Joyce Hammond, Hazel Herron,Mary Mallory, Peggy Peck, Zelmajo Ragsdale, Becky Vanlandingham and Shirley Williams. This year’s 40th Anniversary Show is Saturday, November 29, at the Paris High School on Business Highway 24 West. Doors open to the public at 9
a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission is $2.00. For information or booth inquiry call
