2014 “Pink Out” Basketball Game a Huge Success!...

APPEAL PHOTO

The Paris Lady Coyotes, left, and the Madison Lady Panthers, right, prepare to begin the 2014 “Pink Out” basketball game. This year’s event was coordinated by Betsy Embree and Austin Thomas, center with pink basketballs. The evening’s event saw all monies raised by shirt sales and other fundraisers donated to the Monroe County Cancer Supporters.

See additional pictures on the Appeal website (monroecountyappeal.com)

The 2014 “Pink Out” Basketball game was a rousing success as witnessed by the volume of T-shirt and hoodie sales prior to the event and to the roars of the standing room only crowd.

Paris R-II students Lauren Embree and John DeOrnellis launched the “Pink Out Basketball” campaign two years year to raise awareness of cancer and help to raise money to assist county cancer patients with medical expenses. They also began the campaign to honor their grandparents who fought cancer and to honor their 4-H Leader Jacquie Stuart who lost her battle with cancer in January 2012.

Now, after their graduation, Betsy Embree, daughter of Kevin and Shari Embree, Paris, and Austin Thomas, son of Keith and Marti Thomas, Madison, have assumed the role of Pink Out leaders.

It began as a challenge. Before the game students from the two schools competed to see who could sell the most pink T-shirts

and hoodies. Last year paper basketballs were added to the fundraising campaign.

The basketballs cost $1.00 and were mounted on the walls of the gym in Paris and in the cafeteria in Madison to honor survivors or in memory. Why do Betsy and Austin work on the “Pink Out” game?

“Being Lauren’s sister it is both an honor and obligation to do it to help out the community,” said Betsy Embree. “With Austin and myself being in 4-H we thought it was a great idea.”

“This means a lot to me as I know several people who have been affected by cancer and to help the community and be able to raise money is awesome,” added Betsy.”

“We do this to help people who are fighting cancer and battling it,” said Thomas.

“This is personal for me! Between games Betsy, Austin, Lauren and John recognized the importance of the event and how cancer including their grandparents and 4-H leader Jacquie Stuart has touched their

lives.

“As of last night we sold a total of 681 T-Shirts,” said Austin.

He also announced the class winners including the domination of Holliday C-2 in sales (164%).

President John Turner of the Monroe County Cancer Supporters thanked everyone for their hard work and gave the crowd an overview of their organization.

Turner noted that the group has issued checks totalling $96,300.

The Madison Cheerleaders also presented monies raised by selling bracelets to MCCS. Lauren Embree ended the presentation asking everyone who has had cancer to stand and then those affected or a caregiver to anyone with cancer. Almost everyone stood.

“That’s how cancer affects us,” said Embree! “Thank you for helping make a difference!”

Filing ended for the April 8, 2014 municipal election on Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. The election will fill vacant seats on local, city and miscellaneous boards and councils.

Local positions applied for include: The Paris Board of Education has three openings – the seats of now serving board members Jamie Ebbesmeyer, Erin Gruber and Ted DeOrnellis, who have all filed for office.

Pink Out!!! The 2014 “Pink Out” game played to a standing room only crowd on a brutally cold evening, at the Paris R-II gymnasium.

You often hear comments about the future generation and what will it be like when they are older and in charge. Well I am here to tell you it will be great if they are anything like the students of Madison and Paris schools.

John DeOrnellis and Lauren Embree started the Pink Out phenomenon but the torch has been passed to two worthy youth - Betsy Embree and Austin Thomas.

“Being Lauren’s sister it is both an honor and obligation to do it to help out the community,” said Betsy Embree. “With Austin and myself being in 4-H we thought it was a great idea.”

“This means a lot to me as I know several people who have been affected by cancer and to help the

community and be able to raise money is awesome,” added Betsy.”

“We do this to help people who are fighting cancer and battling it,” said Thomas. “This is personal for me!”

To echo Austin’s words - it’s personal for many of us.

Thank goodness we have students and young people, throughout the community who step up and contribute in numerous ways to make the quality of life in the county what it is today.

I think our future is assured!

Have a great week!

We as a society have changed the way we parent and because of this the next generation is being affected and not in a good way. I am seeing more and more children getting in trouble at school, being very disrespectful to adults, and not wanting to work hard or for something. I see more and more children having sexual relationships at very young ages. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest problems. We have kids having babies. They are not ready to take on the role of being a parent. They still need to be parented themselves. But because they are seeing so many young kids having babies being glorified in movies, sitcoms etc. and do not have good role models in their own life, they do not really grasp the seriousness of it and understand the responsibilities that will come along with them becoming a parent.

I believe a key factor is

Having a child is not a little thing and being a parent is no small task. We do not become a parent in the bedroom. We become a parent when we do what we need to do to no matter what to help raise our children to be who God called

God loves each and every one of us whether we have been a committed parent or a selfish one. His love is not determined by what we do. But He is also a God who wants each and every one of us to have life and have it more abundantly. He wants that for us as parents and also for our children. We deserve it and so do they.

If we have been neglecting our children or not doing what we need to do as a parent it is not too late to change things around. It is not too late to invite God into our life to help us be the best parents we can be.

And I did not say perfect parent because there is no such thing. We all make mistakes and need God to make up the difference. All we need to do is ask.

As Time Goes By

The Cost of Inaction on Medicaid opting out of the program.

A lot of money was left on the table in Texas.

The federal government would have paid 100 billion and Texas 15 billion over ten years. The Perryman Group of Waco, Texas, through its president, Ray Perryman, points out that Texas residents that pay federal taxes will pay for Medicaid for those states that have or will expand Medicaid. There is also a stimulus aspect to the expansion. One hundred billion federal dollars would have resulted in 270 billion in economic growth over 10 years. Plus the fact that the needs will not go away for healthcare and the 254 Texas counties are required to dedicate at least eight per cent of their budgets to indigent healthcare.

The situation would be much the same in our state.

The vast majority of Americans even those of more conservative views, tend to agree that lack of money should not mean anyone should be denied medical care. The idea of noncooperation with President Obama or with Obama Care should not override the access to health care for poor citizens or potentially lead to unnecessary deaths as a result of lack of access to that care, not in Texas and not here either.

we as parents have not allowed God to fix places we have been wounded or hurt and then we parent out of that place. Maybe we thought our parents were strict and we never got anything we wanted growing up so we went the complete opposite way in our parenting and allowed our children to do anything and everything they wanted and also bought them anything and everything. Or maybe we were abused or neglected as a child and carried on this same type of parenting.

We may not have wanted to do it the same way our parents did but because it was the only thing we saw growing up we continued the cycle.

Whatever type of childhood we had we all need to

them to be. We can’t do it on our own and God never intended us to. The good news is ALL of us can be incredible and competent parents. God has equipped us to become just that but it only works when we first get closer to Him. The closer we become to Him and the more we can hear His voice in our lives, the better parents we become.

MONROE COUNTY HISTORY

MY TURN

Our state has, through our legislators stated that it is not interested in expanding Medicaid expansion provided under the Affordable Care Act. Along with other states that have made the same decision or have not yet decided, 5.2 million adults will not receive Medicaid assistance.

At the forefront of those states refusing to expand Medicaid is Texas and its governor, Rick Perry. One of the results of this decision which is not usually discussed is that it could result in the deaths of 9,000 Texans by the end of 2014 and in each subsequent year that the state refuses to expand Medicaid. This number is based on work published in the New England Journal of Medicine and is three times the number of people Texas has executed since 1976.

The Affordable Care Act, when signed in 2010 provided complete federal funding for expanded Medicaid for three years and the states would contribute 10 percent each year after that. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that the states have the right to refuse to expand Medicaid. Texas is home to 1.5 million of the 5.2 million officially poor Americans denied access for Medicaid because of their states

understand that because of our decisions we now have a little person or persons expecting and needing us to take care of them. We can no longer wallow in our own selfishness. That option went out the door when we decided to bring another human into this world. We should not be having babies because we think it is cute or we want to keep a man in our life.

We should not have a baby and then once it gets a little older decide it is too much and we want to focus on our own lives and what we want. If we want to focus on ourselves, fine, just do that first and then when we realize we have the time and desire to raise a child we can have one. But we can’t expect to do the act that produces a child but then once the child is here we don’t want to put in the time, care and sacrifice in raising them.

Locals oppose electric line, set Jan. 25 meeting Editor’s Note: Special to the Monroe County Appeal

by Denny Hollingsworth Many Monroe County landowners are unalterably opposed to the construction of high voltage transmission lines across the county and Missouri, and are attempting to recruit similarly-mind locals to join them in their efforts to halt the project.

Marilyn and Kevin O’Bannon, a south-central Monroe County farm couple have organized a meeting Saturday, January 25 at the Madison Community Center to inform people about the subject. Russ Pisciotta, a Caldwell County organic farmer, who has taken a lead in opposition to the proposed lines, will speak at the 2 p.m. meeting.

According to Mr. Pisciotta, a Texas company, Clean Line Energy Partners, wants to build a 3,500 megawatt, 600,000 kilovolt High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission line, on structured towers up to 200-feet tall, from Kansas — where the company has a wind farm — 200 miles across Missouri. The line and another one would also traverse Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, W. Virginia and several other states, delivering electricity to the east coast.

Many locals believe the proposed transmission line is unnecessary and Missouri would not benefit from it. People are concerned about the safety of the high voltage lines to themselves, their neighbors, livestock and wildlife. Critics say wind driven farms are still questionable as an economic, stable way to produce electricity and looking at all of the government driven energy ventures, almost everyone has failed and lost millions of tax dollars.

They also don’t approve of having to turn acres of their property over to an out-of-state business, if ordered to do so by the Missouri Public Service Commission [PSC].

Clean Line has made a preliminary filing for application to the PSC to obtain public utility status.

That action infuriates locals because they don’t believe a for profit company should be able to obtain public utility status, in order to be able to use eminent domain to grab land for easements and roads in landowners’ fields and pastures.

Missouri opponents of the transmission line say neither Iowa or Illinois public commissions have acted on the Texas company’s proposal.

Lunch Menu Monday -Hot Ham & Cheese, Baked Beans, Baby Carrots with Ranch, Cinnamon Apples, Milk Tuesday - Oven Roasted Chicken, Biscuit with Gravy, Green Beans, Pineapple, Milk Wednesday - Lasagna, Breadstick, Lettuce Salad, Peaches, Milk Thursday - Popcorn Chicken, Hot Roll, Broccoli with Cheese Sauce, Mandarin Oranges, Milk Friday - Corn Dog, French Fries, Garbanzo Beans, Fruit, Milk

CHURCH NEWS

Pastor Kenny’s message today was “Moving to the Next Level.” Scripture was taken from Luke 15:11-21, Romans 5:1-2 and 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. There’s more to being a Christian than going to church. How much energy does it take to change? When you get in a rut, you are stuck, and God meets you where you are, and will pull you out. God is bigger than our thoughts, our flesh, our actions and if we allow the enemy to make us doubt ourselves, God is there to help us say, “yes I can!” No matter what the world says or shows us, stand “ready to go” when God calls us to move.

Prayers for Greg Huffman, Shirley Holmes, Kent Carman, Betty Huff, Cameron Hunter, Gay Bergthold, Tom and Ola Riley and family, Robert DeOrnellis,, Ruth Mallory, Sherry and Sierra Brown, Tom and Ashley East, Becca Spires friend, Glory Chase, Jennifer Gordon, Jo Reynolds’ friends husband, David Kendrick.

Praises were from Tracy Huffman sharing he dad coming home from the hospital, Tom and Ashley East announced they are expecting their first child, Brooke Rentschler was in an accident but unharmed.

Happy birthday was sung to Diane Street and Rhianna. Thank you from Tracy Huffman on calls and prayers for her dad. Salt Saturday will be Jan. 25, Baby shower for Sara Hunt and John Kauffman Feb. 8, at 2 p.m., in the fellowship hall, Bill and Beverly Holmes will be hosting “The Art of Marriage” by Family Life, a program on God’s plan for your marriage, on 14th (evening) and 15th of February, at Santa Fe Christian Church. Those interested in attending please get with Beverly Holmes on details, there are still slots available, annual church meeting Feb. 2.

Bible study is every Wednesday night, carry in meal at 6 p.m., and study at 6:30 p.m. Sunday school is at 9:30 a.m., and worship service at 10:30 a.m.

On Jan. 19, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: the Evan’s Memorial will be Jan. 25, at 10 a.m., at the church with a dinner at 11 a.m. The church will host a Valentine’s Day celebration at Miller’s on Feb. 1, at 1:30 p.m. On Feb. 7-8 there will be a True Love Waits Youth Lock-In and all youth in the area are invited.

The message this week was titled ‘God’s Value of Human Life’ and came from Genesis 1:26-28. One human life is more important to God than the entire non-human creation. More than all the angles, stars, galaxies, planets, mountains, rivers, fields, and animals combined. This is because human life is the only creation made in the image of God. While the aspects of rationality, personality, and having a spirit that can commune with God is important, even angles have these attributes. Dominion is the key ingredient that man has been given in the image of God. Humans are to rule the earth and all that is in it.

Christians should be the most balanced environmentalists on the planet. God gave us this privilege to learn to be more like Him and we should enjoy the creation God gave us by properly managing it.

The manner in which God’s children rule over creation should mirror God character.

Human life is sacred to God because it magnifies God. Notice the repetition God uses in V27a. This shows a unity with God and humans that brings the ability to have communion with God. Diversity is shown in 27b when God creates man and woman. This is God’s ordained means for expansion of the human race which magnifies God’s glory from the human perspective.

The dominion of man over creation makes obvious the dominion of God over everything. This is important because God’s dominion shows His express will an Church that man is to exercise. This dominion starts in our i t s i r h personal lives and begins by conquering the sinful man l le C i v n a Gr Pastor Fran Schnarre by the power of the Holy Spirit. Other areas of dominion include the family, church, government, marketplace, and the world.

Niki Sims drills two free throws to seal win The Madison Lady Panthers, on Homecoming night, played their hearts out versus Brunswick in an epic classic.

The Lady Panthers trailed 12-11 at the end of the first quarter and trailed 24-19 at the half.

Trailing by six after three periods Allie Dunkin and Hunter Salmons took the team on their backs and scored 12 points (six apiece) in the final stanza to knot the score at 41 after Salmons grabbed an offensive rebound and stuck it back into the hole with less than a minute to go.

The crowd sensed overtime but the Lady Panthers fouled a Brunswick player driving to the rack with less than 10 seconds left in the game. The player hit one of two charity tosses to push Brunswick ahead by a point 4241.

With six seconds left, Coach Jon Link let his charges push the ball into the forecourt before calling timeout with 4.1

The ball bounded off the rim landing in the arms of Niki Sims as the horn sounded. While the horn was sounding ending the contest a whistle also sounded calling a foul on Brunswick as time expired. The foul was committed on Sims who stepped to the foul line.

“I was so nervous,” said Sims.

She calmly bounced the ball three times and then ripped the net for the point that tied the game.

The referee gave her the ball for her second shot, she took a deep breath, bounced the ball again and launched the game winner into the net as the gymnasium erupted in a loud roar. Lady Panthers win 43-42.

The message “Please RSVP By...” was based on scripture from John 1:29-42 as John tells us Jesus is the lamb of God! God invites us to a new way of living... The prophesies of Jesus (like being a lamb led to slaughter) - is the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus, son of Joseph of Nazareth... the son of man, Jesus is the stairway to heaven - as Jacob saw a ladder to heaven, where he saw God. God will protect you, provide for you all the way to that stairway into heaven. Church and worship are a vital part of life - Jesus invites you into His life! Go out into the world and invite people into your life, lunch, a movie or into your home, just say come and see. RSVP to the life of Jesus. Invite someone to share your Christian life with you... Lets go see what God can do!

Max Tilt led the Offertory as Patti played “I Surrender All” and the “Savior Like a Shepherd Lead Us” as everyone retired in fellowship.
