APPEAL PHOTO

The Missouri Public Service Commission held a public meeting on Tuesday, August 12, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, in Monroe City. The meeting was to hear public comments on Grain Belt Express Clean Line in response to their filing a “Certificate of Convenience and Necessity.”

Grain Belt is proposing an approxi-

mately 750-mile overhead direct current transmission line that is designed to provide wind energy from western Kansas to utilities and customers in the eastern part of the United States. To do so, the lines must be transmitted over 250-foot towers lined across Missouri.

Grain Belt emphasizes that they “will deliver 350 megawatts of low-cost re-

newable clean energy to approximately 1.4 million customers.”

The PSC Commission is currently holding a public meeting in each county affected by the transmission lines.

Approximately 400 local residents showed up to voice their concerns over the line or to give positive testimony Continued to page 8

Paris Sporting Goods joins the ranks of Paris businesses Sports enthusiasts do not have to leave town to purchase sporting equipment ever again. Paris Sporting Goods is one of the new establishments in the local business environment.

Paris Sporting Goods is owned and operated by Tyler Rowe.

The shop is a smorgasbord of sporting equipment and supplies. Rowe has everything from fishing supplies including rods, reels, artificial lures and even live bait to gun supplies including ammunition for rifles, shotguns, sporting rifles and handguns.

“We have everything you need to fish Mark Twain Lake,” said Rowe. “We have nightcrawlers, minnows and red worms as our live bait and a host of accessories and supplies.”

Rowe is waiting on his FFL (federal firearms license) to be able to carry actual weapons.

The shop has everything for hunting and trapping and he is also anticipating carrying reloading equipment and accessories.

“Reloading is a lot cheaper than buying factory ammunition.” explained Rowe.

“We also have metal targets, clay pigeons, paper targets and gun cleaning supplies,” noted Rowe.

“I wanted to continue working in the sporting goods store but could not do it in the building up the street (the former hardware store on the corner of Caldwell and Main),” said Rowe. “So I made a deal with Lance Olivas who is acquiring the building here (formerly Verracchios) and I will use the front part of the building and he has the rest.”

Rowe noted that this was something he always wanted to do. He has hunted

all his life and is really interested and knowledgeable about firearms. He has also dabbled in fishing and has a good working knowledge of the sport.

“With the help and support of Larry Isgrig (Zig) I was able to have all this happen,” said Rowe. “I have been around firearms all my life and I really enjoy them - they are a good sport.”

“Paris Sporting Goods has all your needs for the lake and we have decently priced supplies,” said Rowe. “We have many sporting good items come in and look around.”

Rowe and his wife Kayla have two

sons, Justin 6, and Gabriel 4 with another son, Christian Abraham on the way. The family resides in Paris where Tyler was born and raised.

When not working Rowe enjoys spending time with his family, music, shooting and firearms and hunting.

Paris Sporting Goods is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m., - 5 p.m., and Saturday from 5 a.m. - 2 p.m. (to help those early rising fishermen). The store is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The Equation of Love (Part 1)

BY DAVID EALES EDITOR appeal@parismo.net

Back to School... It is that time again albeit I have no idea where the summer went. I am sure we just finished the graduation issue but it time to think about all our local youth being back at school.

For some parents this is a time of joy as their little ones are out from under foot all day and for others it is a time of missing their toddlers as they start that page of their life journey - preschool or kindergarten.

I have always contended that we have the best administrators and teachers in Missouri and as witnessed by our new teachers and new administrator at Holliday - this is still the case.

Welcome to all our new teachers and staff at our local schools and good luck this school year!

There has been contention in schools and communities concerning Common Core and I see a new subject on the horizon as we head toward the November election regarding teacher tenure and evaluations. Look for additional information here as the time gets closer.

As always as school begins I must put a plug in for school athletics.

I have always con-

DAVID EALES

tended that the best ticket in town is a ticket to a high school (and junior high) sporting event.

These school athletes play their hearts out for their school, their teammates and their fans. The fellowship, sportsmanship, good concession food and a fantastic contest are just some of the reasons to attend local school athletic events.

So if you enjoy football, softball, baseball or golf - local schools have it all.

The annual Fall Sports Preview will appear in next week’s Monroe County Appeal.

Congratulations to our Coyotes who have appeared on the three covers of other media publications!

2014-2015 is the year of the Coyote! Plan to visit a sporting venue near you - you will not regret the time spent in support of our youth!

Have a great week!

MY TURN

Do-Overs Should Always Be Different

We all have those special times when we reveal to others some profound pronouncement about our take on life in general.

One of the most common reflections people seem to have of their own lives so far is that if they had the chance to start over in life, they would do the same things again. This is not true of younger people who have not yet lost the perception that they are both indestructible and immortal in their lives. I admit to having heard people say that they would lead their lives the same way if they had a do-over or life mulligan, and I did not challenge the comment at the time.

But upon reflection, and in a world of remarks by a Yogi Berra or Sarah Palin or by a plethora of politicians that we find at least pretty stupid, if not ridiculous, the do-over

claims also qualify. If, by some gift of a merciful creator or even by the evil plan of a twisted Satanic mind, we were allowed or forced to live again, to do it better or worse would be the goal, never to do it the same way.

To live exactly the same way as we did before presumes perfection the first time around. It denies room for growth or improvement, accepts the many mistakes we made and denies the opportunity to make right the way we treated others and ourselves. To say that given the chance or punishment of living again, we would do the same again ranks up there with Sam Goldwin’s quote, “If I dropped dead right now, I would be the happiest man alive.”

Not thought out very well was it?

A few weeks ago I was sitting on my couch when I believe God gave me an equation. I sat and thought about it for awhile. It was simple yet complex at the same time.

Loving God + Loving Ourselves = Loving Others I believe if we really want to truly love others we have to first love God and love ourselves. I do not believe we can have one without the other.

God’s word tells us to love Him with all our heart, mind and soul but then He says to love our neighbor as ourselves. If we do not love ourselves then how can we truly love others?

And if we do not love God,

LISA TALTON

how can we truly love ourselves?

First, let me talk about loving God. I found that when I made a decision to live my life loving God, my life changed for the better. See, in order to truly love God, we have to accept that He loves us. He doesn’t love us in the same way people do. His love goes into the depths of our souls, our minds, our spirits and our emotions.

He sees everything about

only does His Word tell us He will forgive us but He will forget. That is amazing. We know as humans we forgive others but it is very hard to forget what has been done to us. This shows us all the more how different God’s love is than ours.

I love the fact that I do not have to wait for God to be available to talk to Him or spend time with Him. I can hang out with Him anytime and any place.

There has been numerous times I have felt sad, alone or just a little down but after spending time just talking to God, I felt better and refreshed. When talking to God we can truly be ourselves and let everything go knowing He is listening and will loves us regardless.

Loving God and accepting His love is the first step to truly loving others.

us-even those deep, dark places that we try to hide from others. And even though He sees it all He still loves us with a pure, unconditional and everlasting love. He doesn’t tell us we have to get our life straightened out before He will love us. He doesn’t love us one minute but then not the other. His love is always there and scripture says there is absolutely nothing that can separate us from His love.

Even if it has been a long time since we talked to him, read His Word, went to church or prayed, He still loves us. He wants us to know that more than anything else. He is always there ready to listen. He doesn’t hold the time we spent away against us. He only wants us to come back to Him. It doesn’t matter what we have or haven’t done, He will forgive us.

This will be a great year to make connections with the students, parents and staff.

August rains, after a dry July, came just in time to fill corn ears and set soybean pods, says a University of Missouri agronomist.

“Timing of these rains could not be better,” says Bill Wiebold with MU Extension plant science.

“These rains set the table for excellent possibilities.”

Rains fell, and continued, in a large midsection of Missouri starting Wednesday night, Aug. 6. Rains of 1 to 3 inches fell on cropland in an area from north of Highway 36, from Saint Joseph to Hannibal, and to I-44 from Joplin to St. Louis.

“Small areas received 4 to 5 inches of rain,” says Pat Guinan, MU Extension climatologist.

For the corn crop, about a third to half of corn yield has been stored in the kernels, Wiebold says. With rain, the amount of stored yield can increase to threefourths in the next 10 to 12 days.

“Soybean plants had not begun to store much yield,” Wiebold says.

“This is a critical time for soybean pod set. You must have pods if you want

yield, as pods provide a place to store yield.”

In dry weather, soybean plants flower, but shed pods in drought. “Most pod loss would occur in the next 10 days,” Wiebold says. “Rain helps pod set to increase yields.”

Corn growth was further along. “However, these rains keep corn yield engines humming,” Wiebold says.

With 64 percent of Missouri corn still in dough stage, kernel fill can continue.

A dry July, with some areas getting less than an inch of rain, threatened yields. Wiebold says that corn kernels were in place on the ears. However, without rain, kernels were not filling.

“We still need 3 to 4 inches of evenly spaced rain in August to push yield to record highs,” he adds. Rain and sunlight fuel photosynthesis, which creates yield.

Some corn yield may have been hurt by dry weather in July.

tential. August rain is critical for the soybean crop.

Without rain, optimistic early estimates of crop yields could not have happened, Wiebold has warned. Corn yield depends first on kernel set on the corncob. That occurs at pollination, usually in early July.

After kernels are in place, July rains begin filling those embryonic kernels. Without water, yield cannot increase.

A wet June started what was being called the “bestlooking corn crop ever.”

Some farmers reported, “Every seed planted came up.” That brought higher than expected stalk populations.

Good growing condition created more vegeta-

tion than usual, Wiebold says. Early, the foliage that creates photosynthesis was a good omen. But when rains stopped in July, extra vegetation increased evaporation. Leaves were drawing scarce moisture out of the soil.

The second-coolest July on record helped cut water loss, Guinan says.

MU Extension agronomists were agreeing that crops had about reached their limits.

Thunderstorms forming in Kansas moved along a cool front across Missouri.

“Rains came when they were needed,” Wiebold says.

When Someone Else Drives Your Car

By Nancy Baca, State Farm® Agent

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

CHURCH NEWS

Pastor Kenny’s message today was titled “Jesus Alone.” Scripture was taken from Romans 10: 1-13. The law does not save us, but the righteousness of Christ.

For Christ is the end of the law, He didn’t come to abolish it, but to fulfill it. We are lacking as Christians to go out into the world and share Christ with others. Jesus was God’s Rembrandt, His masterpiece, His greatest work of art and He is the only way to the Father. We must be bold Christians and share Jesus where ever we go and with whomever we meet.

Praise for Charlie and Joyce Horstemeier’s daughter Jennifer and new grandson Cooper, Joni Sharp’s job continuing during a time of cutbacks.

Prayers for Erion Bergmann, Bonnie Sudsberry, Randy Davis, Sherron Melton, Israel, Jim Hurst, Dorothy Woodhurst, Barb Forrest, Keith Woodhurst, Tom and Ola Riley, Dorothy Hufty, Jerry Doty, Beauty for Ashes participants and graduates, Michael and Darcy Flowerree, Debbie and Richard( daughter and son-inlaw of Kathy Laird), Don Laird, Jo Reynolds’ father, Jim Hurst’s parents, Ola Riley’s mother, traveling mercies for Jim and Janie Hurst and family, courage as Christians to stand up and speak out.

Happy birthday to Lena Sharp and Ian Chase. August 16, 9-11 mission kids meet at fellowship hall. August 17 is “Mission Sunday” for the MFUGE group to share their stories. Salt Saturday is August 30 and the group is collecting food for Festival of Sharing. Old Fashioned Hymn Sing August 17 at the Madison Christian Church. Baby shower for Matt and Sara Watson September 6th 2pm at the Paris Library. Global Compassion Ministries are looking for volunteers for the Haiti trip in Jan/Feb. 2015, get with David Kendrick for details.

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.

Greetings from FaithWalk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor Morning worship service began at 10:30 a.m.

“Shifting the Atmosphere” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Prayer-led by Elder Helen Fugate Scripture-read by Bro. Michael Thompson “Every Praise” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Offering (Seed Planting)-directed by Elder Maurice Berry 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.”

“Pulling me Through” – sung by FaithWalk Choir Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “Christ and I versus I and Christ” Galatians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

Paul is speaking from a new status in his life, he speaking from a Christian point of view. Paul can only state this because his life has been changed from his old lifestyle, when he did not follow Jesus Christ and did not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Paul now speaking as a follower of Jesus Christ, states I have totally yield my life to Jesus Christ, and now my lifestyle is one that demonstrate a new life in Christ, and only because I have yield myself to him and my faith in Him, because Christ loved me and gave His life for me. Like Paul our commitment to Jesus Christ can only be consistent and genuine, when realize that only through Jesus Christ can have abundant life now and forever.

Come and worship with us! Weekly service times: Tuesday at 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and 7 p.m. God bless you!

On August 10 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: September 1 will be the church Fish Fry from 5-7 p. m. and all donations will go to the Monroe County Cancer Support, September 13 at 8:30 a. m. is Men’s Breakfast, and the Heartland dinner trip will be on September 27 and we will leave the church at 5 p. m.

The message this week was titled ‘Freedom is only in Christ’ and came from 2 Peter 2:17-22. Quaker Rufus Jones said ‘the true nature of a thing is the highest that it can become.’ For mankind to achieve true nature, man must live by the truth of God. Living a rich, powerful, popular life while living a life of lies is a wasted life. Man must immerse self into God’s Word and apply God’s truth honestly to achieve man’s highest potential.

Be careful to who you listen you for truth.

You can tell a false teacher because they promise spiritual profit they cannot deliver. Dry wells are good for nothing and strong winds without rain are but a form of entertainment without profit. In John 4 Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that He is the flowing spring of water. Jesus promises and produces spiritual life that is abundant and satisfying.

False teachers also use big words normal people do not understand. They do this to confuse people and hope they will think what is said sounds right. The average church attendee today cannot tell if one is a religious huckster or a true servant of God. False teachers also appeal to immature people. They stand outside revivals a look for people with new convert packages.

They offer to help teach the new convert (and undiscipled Christian) their false gospel.

The most powerful thing false teachers do to attract people is to appeal to the appetites of the old nature. Read Galatians 5:19-21 and see how pride applies to what is written. Appealing to the human ego false teachers tell how good people are, how much God loves them (true), how easy it is to get into heaven, and they may already be in the family of God; they need to learn to act like it. The servant of God speaks of lost people being under God’s wrath and Jesus is the only curse.

They speak of repentance, submission, sacrifice, and the love and holiness of God. Peter ends this with strong imagery. He is saying false teachers are not born again. Jude 19 says they are sensual, not having the Spirit. False teachers have a religious experience life a pig or dog. They get cleaned up on the outside and feel better on the inside but are never changed. They have knowledge of salvation and know church language but they do what pigs and dogs naturally do: return to their sin. Escaping the pollutants of the world cleans the outside of man but escaping the corruption of the world cleans up the inside (2Peter1:10). Pete is clear on what proves to be a true believer of God: 1Pt.1:3 – a new birth needed, 2Pt.1:4 – participation in the divine nature, 1 Pt.2:25 – be a sheep of Christ. Many in the pews today do not have this; what about you?

The First Christian Church held a worship service on Sunday, August 10, with Reverend Donna Scott officiating. Her morning message, “Jumping Ship” and was based on Matthew 14:22-33, when Jesus walked on water and rescued Peter who was sinking in fear and doubt. Hymns sung in unison were “Glorify Thy Name,” “The Joy of the Lord,” “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus,” “Trust and Obey,” and “God Be with You.” Those who participated in the service were: Worship Leader Hazel Herron; Scripture Reader Nancy Bierly; Elders Carroll Blackwell and Alice Baker; Diaconate Annie Herron, Nadine McKinney, Debbie Boulware, and Roseann Raines; Acolyte Dawson Bross; Junior Church Leader Anita Ness; Song Leader Mary Beth Mitchell; Pianist Vanessa Forrest.

Announcements are: Wednesday, August 13 - Board Meeting 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, August 17 - Hymn Sing at Madison Christian Church 6:30 p.m.; and Monday, September 1 - Office closed.

The prayer hymn sung was “Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling”; pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. As elders, Gary Wilson and Phil Blakemore, went forward to serve at the Lord’s Table, the communion hymn, “This Do In Remembrance of Me” was sung.

Gerald Roberts and Guy Callison served as deacons. The doxology closed the communion portion of the service.

“Will You Recognize Jesus?” was the title of the morning message; scripture from Matthew 14:22-36 was shared.

When Jesus returns will you recognize Him and answer His call to faithfully serve? Or will you fail the test of faith that He is Lord and sink into the depths of the water?

Appropriately, the closing hymn, “Jesus Calls Us”, was sung, followed by prayer and singing of “The Spirit Song” to close morning worship.

Diana Hammond gave the children’s sermon. She held up a ball and asked what were the uses of the ball; answer - baseball, basketball, golf, etc. She told them it was always important to keep your eye on the ball. Then she told them a story about Peter and Jesus from Matthew 14. Jesus sent the disciples ahead of him in a boat and went to the mountaintop to pray. Later he walked out on the water. The disciples boat was being tossed around by wind and waves.

They saw Jesus and were frightened and thought he was a ghost. Jesus said to them, “Take courage. It is I. Do not be afraid. Peter wanted to walk on the water to him. When he stepped out with courage he began to walk on the water.

When he took his eyes off Jesus he began to sink. As was the case with the ball, we must keep our eye on it and we should also keep our eye on Jesus.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: (All events p.m. unless otherwise designated) Wed., August 13, 9:00 a.m. until 12:00, Our Fathers Closet, 6:15 prayer meeting, 7:00 choir practice, 8:06 Business meeting. August 22 & 23, Friday and Saturday, Women of Faith in Kansas City. If anyone is interested there is one extra ticket available.

Two new Bible studies will begin on September 7. Both will be on Sunday night at 6:30. Wesley will lead one on prayer which meets in the sanctuary and Diana will lead one called “Storying thru the Bible” in Carter Hall.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was from Isaiah 59, entitled “Barriers Between You and Your God”. God’s message to Joshua in Deuteronomy was, “The Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Isaiah says “You have built up barriers because of your iniquities. In these circumstances God hides his face from you and will not listen. Verse 9 tells us that because of sin, justice is far from us and righteousness does not reach us. Verse 13 tells us that God’s people turn away from God and Verse 18 says, “There he will repay according to their deeds”. Verse 20 tells us the Redeemer will come. We must turn from sin and seek God’s face.

Paris R-II Registration and Bus Information New district rules for school bus riders The Sunday, Aug. 10 service began with Sharon Sweitzer playing “Brighten the Corner” for the prelude.

Debbie Carey led in singing the hymns “Let the Lower Lights Be Burning”, “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”, and “When We All Get to Heaven.” Debbie sang “What Faith Can Do” for the special music.

It was announced that the South Fork Cemetery fish fry will be Saturday, Aug. 16. Prayers were requested for Dorothy Woodhurst, Jerry Arends, Randy Davis and Max Tilt.

Craig Dawson filled the pulpit this morning while John and Patti are on vacation. His message, “A Step of Faith”, was from Matthew 14:22-23. We have four things from God in our lives. The first is resisting temptation. We are tempted to do things that take us off track. We are all tempted by Satan throughout our lives. Jesus was tempted many times but was able to resist. Temptation can come through many different sources. Faith is demonstrated when we resist the temptations. The second is laboring against the wind.

We have set a course for our lives and as we try to stay on course there are things that come up that make us labor against the wind. We are anxious because our world has become so fast paced and we want quick fixes. Young people aren’t used to laboring against the wind. They will either quit or go around the obstacle.

We all need faith to stand up to the obstacle until we are back on course. The third is seeing God. How many times have you heard the voice of God tell us he’s right here and won’t let you fall. Jesus is with us daily. It is important that we look for God, see God and recognize his work in our lives. The fourth is a step of faith.

Sometimes there’s no other way to go so we just have to take that step of faith. As long as you focus on Jesus you will be fine. A lot of times we have doubt and fear that keep us from taking that step of faith. We just have to give in and trust in God. We have to have faith, hope, belief and trust.

Kaylee Beckham collected the offering. The service closed with Sharon playing “In My Heart There Rings a Melody” for the postlude. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23

The worship service of the Perry Christian Church on Aug. 10 began with Arlen Provancha singing “To God Be the Glory”. Our pastor for the day was Nancy Kellstrom.

Pastor Kellstrom offered the morning prayer. Concerns were voiced for Lois Friday, Don Broyles and Robin Brady and other members of the Seelow family. The world problems were addressed seeking God’s help. “Let the Words of My Mouth” was the response.

The invitation to share in the Lord’s Supper was given by the pastor. “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” was sung. Joyce Coleman and Floyd Seelow gave the elders prayers. Deacons were LouAnn Hetrick, Greg Harrison, Tom Hurley and James Parker.

“In This Very Room” was sung by Arlen for the special music.

Jeannie Gay delivered the children’s moment by showing you can’t catch a ball if you don’t watch for it. Peter couldn’t walk on water as Jesus had because he lost faith and his focus on Jesus. .

Matthew 14:22-33 was read by Ronnie Cragen for the pastor’s message on “I’ve Got You”. When life problems surround us trusting in the Lord helps us overcome our fears. The Gospels tell us what we need to do and Jesus does for us what we cannot do. He is always there to catch us.

“Jesus, I Come” was the invitation hymn. The pastor gave the benediction and the service closed singing “Yesterday, Today, Forever.”

Three PHS classes join together for dinner at MTCC

by Denny Hollingsworth Paris High School’s class of 1969 celebrated the 45th anniversary of its graduation Saturday night, Aug. 2nd, at Mark Twain Country Club, accompanied by members of PHS’s 1968 and 1970 classes.

Joy Frederick Kelly, class of ‘69, said more than a hundred grads, their spouses and friends joined in the enthusiastic evening highlighted by a spirited trivia contest and concluded with a mad-capped auction.

She said 28 1969 class members were present while 14 grads of ‘68 and 17 ‘70 members were in attendance.

Before the festivities began, David Jones, class of ‘69, asked for Mrs. Kelly, Sarah Yager Bates, Connie Morgan Williams, from the class of ‘69, Janet Mitchell Huffman, 1970, and Jean Henning Bell, Barbara Rives Carman, Brenda Heathman Dowell and Bernda Siron Duncan, all of ‘68, to take a bow for their efforts to plan and carry out the event.

All the attendees were delighted Emmett Brown was present. Mr. Brown, whose daughter, Jamie Brown Schwartzott, is a member of the ‘69 class, lives in Columbia. He spent 35 years teaching industrial arts at PHS, in four decades, 1950s through the 1980s. He was a sponsor of the 1970 class.

After a Jeff Wilkeycatered roast beef and salmon dinner, Barbara Rives Carmen put on one of her hour-long patented entertaining Paris trivia contests, pitting the classes against one another. At the end, the class of ‘70 was declared the victor, however, there was much protest and consternation from members of the other classes as to who actually won the hotly contested event. During the game, Mrs. Carman informed the PHS alumni the high school newspaper, the Coyote Capers, was no longer being published, or available as a library source; the news was met with much scorn from the group.

Dean Sharp, class of ‘69, closed the evening, auctioning donated music cds, potent potables and a product from Crop Production Services to raise money for his class.

He managed to squeeze out more than $300 from an raucous audience that was left laughing from the Holliday native’s benign teasing of bidders, engaging antics, salient anecdotes and jokes.

The consensus of those attending agreed that a good time was had by all.

Mrs. Kelly said the 69ers bank account was virtually depleted before the dinner, but with the auction’s proceeds, and class members Dean Sharp, Denise Turner, Stuart Clark, Linda Albright Love, Carolyn Roegge Thompson, Margie Miller Anglen, Charlie Jones, Stephen Rowe, Mimi Baker McRoberts and Lonnie Wolfe making personal donations, the class’ coffers had been increased to $1,000.

Friday, Aug. 1, several members of the classes met at Millers Tavern in Paris. Among those that attended, but did not go to MTCC on Saturday, included Donna Fohey Mitchell and husband, Larry, Shelbina, Tom Threlkeld, Paris, Kenny Shumard, and wife Barbara, of Holliday, and George Buckman, Linda Hardwick Moad and Eddie Neale, all from the class of ‘69, and all from Mexico.

On Saturday morning, eight ‘68 classmates that attended the dinner later that night met for a luncheon at jacs restaurant, in Paris.

Five members of the 1968 class and their spouses that attended Saturday night live in the Paris area.

They include Bob Conley and wife, Karen; Jean Henning Bell and husband, David; Sonny Ketchum and wife, Elinda; Eddie Vaughn and his wife, Brenda; Brenda Siron Duncan and husband, Don. From Mexico, Brenda Heathman Dowell and husband, Keith, and Sam Kinder attended.

Others from the class of ‘68 that were in attendance were Joy Blades Powers and husband, Ed, Macon; Larry (Skip) DeOrnellas, Stoutsville; Margaret Hall Ferrell and friend, Larry Evans, Kirksville; Jane Halley Mitts and husband, Charlie, Centralia; Vickie Jones Hollingsworth and husband, Paul, Spikard; Barbara Rives Carman and husband, Gale, Columbia; Shelia Smith Pemberton, of Bailey, Colorado, and her two sisters, Carol Vance and Starla Smith.

Eleven members of the class of ‘69 that attended Saturday night still have Paris addresses. They included, with spouses and friends, Joy Frederick Kelly and husband, Pat; Sarah Yager Bates and husband, Richard; Margie Miller Anglen and husband, Bill; Lonnie Wolfe and wife, Terri; David Graupman and wife, Cherie; Mike Wilson and wife, Kathleen; Louis Webber and

From Mexico, both Linda Albright Love and David Jones were present.

Meyers, Florida; Charlie Jones and wife, Bernadette, Holliday; Paul Holingsworth and his wife, Vickie, Spickard; Denise Turner, Jefferson City; Bruce Carpenter and wife, Marta, of Fulton, and Eddie Painter, Higbee.

Public Service Commission Meeting... about the project.

The rate of negative to positive comments was approximately 10 to 1 negative to positive.

Residents were given five minutes to plead their case before the four-member Public Service Commission panel. The commission by procedure was allowed to ask questions of the speakers but would answer no questions directed at them.

Negative comments focused on possible unknown health concerns, GPS and other farming disruptions, irrigation problems, tornado, earthquake and other weather related problems, farming problems, property damage, impact on neighbors, non-buried lines and other farming related and cosmetic problems.

Positive comments related to tax monies, job creation, increased school monies and added income for farmers.

Comments included: “Giving utility status to a private company is a mistake,” said Jim Daniels.

“In order to have a viable life for my daughter we need to have jobs,” said Andrea Rice.

“When we buy a farm it’s usually for a lifetime,” said Marilyn O’Bannon.

“That land becomes part of us – it is always our hope to be able to pass it on to the next generation.

I consider myself a good steward of the land. To have a company come in and pour up to 36 feet of concrete beneath the soil

really sickens me.” Mrs. O’Bannon was one of only a few that presented exhibits to the commission including a photo of the farm and paperwork she had received.

“If you are going to have transmission lines put in they have to be located somewhere and the counties who have the lines crossing are receiving a windfall in tax revenues and a lot of that goes to the schools – I do not see the downside,” said Cindy O’Laughlin.

The biggest rounds of applause including a standing ovation were given to 40th District Representative Jim Hansen.

“It seems like everyday in my life in the last few years, we hear of new regulations of laws that restrict our freedoms as Americans – and if the great people of this great state and nation don’t take a stand for their individual liberties there will be no liberty, said Rep. Hansen. “We should have the freedom to determine how our property is used.

There are many options that can be explored that can benefit Missouri.”

Mark Lawlor, Director of Development, Grain Belt Express Clean Line said the following about the day’s process, “Clean Line appreciates the thorough process that the Missouri Public Service Commission undertakes to evaluate new electric transmission line projects, and we value the feedback shared today in Monroe

Continued from front

County. Our team is always available to answer questions about the Grain Belt Express Clean Line, which will bring low-cost wind energy to Missouri, provide tax dollars for decades to the counties hosting the line and support manufacturing and construction jobs. If at any time you have questions or would like to get in touch with a Clean Line representative, we invite you to call us via our toll-free number: 855-665-3438.”

Conspicuous by their absence at the meeting were the three Monroe County Commissioners.

It was noted by Monroe

County Presiding Commissioner Mike Minor that the commissioners have been served with a lawsuit by the MO Landowners Alliance and were recommended by counsel not to attend the meeting of have contact with members of the group.

The PSC will hold another six meetings in other affected counties before having Grain Belt Express meet with them in November.

It was noted that the commission makes its decision based upon evidence in the case; but then that decision is subject to appeal in the courts.

40th District Representative Jim Hansen addresses the Missouri Public Service Commission for his constituents.

Oklahoma - Friendly to Noodlers

by Ed Godfrey, The Oklahoman, used with permission A noodler told me once that getting your hand bit by a giant flathead catfish gives you a greater high than any drug ever could.

I’m just going to take his word on that. I have no interest in trying either. But there are many people from Oklahoma and other states who get their kicks out of sliding into a muddy river or lake and blindly reaching their arm into an underwater hole to let a big flathead bite them.

And judging from the crowd Saturday at the 15th annual Okie Noodling Tournament, there are many others who remain fascinated by it.

Clendon West, 28, drove 1,200 miles from Smithville, N.C., to Pauls Valley to underwater wrestle with an Oklahoma flathead.

“I am the only one that does it back home,” West said of hand fishing for catfish. “Everyone thinks I’m nuts.”

West weighed in a 44-pound flathead in the Okie Noodling Tournament Saturday, and like a true Oklahoma noodler, he wouldn’t reveal where he caught it.

Neither would Howard Ramsey of Paris, Mo., who was competing in his sixth Okie Noodling Tournament on Saturday.

“In the water,” Ramsey said, when asked where he caught his 44-pound flathead.

For 12 years, Ramsey has been trying to persuade his home state to legalize noodling. He heads a group of handfishermen in Missouri called “Noodlers Anonymous.

Missouri wildlife officials object to noodling because the catfish are being yanked off their nests by the hand-fishermen and thus numerous eggs are destroyed. It’s a conservation issue, they contend.

“We are going to try to get enough signatures on petitions to put it on the ballot in Missouri,” Ramsey said of noodling.

Ramsey, 68, has been noodling since he was 12, even though it’s illegal in his home state.

“You swim back in the hole and you feel that big catfish’s head and there is just such an adrenaline rush that you can’t describe,” he said. “I pole line. I trot line. I jug fish.

It is just throwing the fish in a boat. But this is really back to nature and it is really a sport, and I’m glad Oklahoma’s got one.”

For the first time, a Missouri noodler won the Okie Noodling Tournament. Ramey Webb of Ludlow, Mo, weighed in a 69-pound, 9-ounce flathead that bested the field of 137 noodlers.

He gave the trophy to his father, Gary, a lifetime noodler who, along with Ramsey, has been leading the fight in Missouri to legalize noodling.

Like it or not, Oklahoma has been branded as the noodling state, thanks to Bradley Beesley’s 2001 award-winning documentary, “Okie Noodling,” and then his 2008 sequel, “Okie Noodling II.” Both have been seen by millions of people around the world.

His documentaries resulted in enormous publicity. Journalists from across the country and the globe descended on Oklahoma over the years to write and film stories about these Oklahoma adrenaline junkies who get their kicks by catching huge catfish with their bare hands.

They even spawned a couple of reality TV shows with some members from the original Okie Noodling documentary.

Beesley organized the first Okie Noodling Tournament in 2001 as part of his documentary. Numerous copycat tournaments have popped up across the state in recent years.

“It used to be kind of a novelty,” said Barry Bolton, chief of fisheries for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “You might have known two or three guys that did it. Now, there are a bunch of guys who have started doing it.”

It’s not just guys. Last year’s Okie Noodling winner was Lucy Millsap of West Takawoni, Texas, who comes from the proclaimed “Catfish Capital of Texas.”

cheerleader weighed-in a 72-pound flathead last year that made her the first female winner of the Okie Noodling Tournament.

There’s even a group of gals who call themselves the Bare Knuckle Babes and sell their own noodling calendar. They were signing autographs Saturday at the Okie Noodling Tournament.

Beesley even feels some regret about shining a spotlight on what once was a little-known subculture and turning noodling into something more mainstream.

“I had no clue the monster I was creating,” he told me in a 2012 interview.

David Baggett, 54, of Lawton is one of the original Okie Noodlers.

He’s been a noodler for 30 years and was part of the first Okie Noodling

documentary. He sometimes regrets all the exposure that noodling has received from the films and other media.

“You go to pull up to a fishing hole that you fished for years and there’s guys fishing it, and as you leave there’s guys behind you waiting,” Baggett said Saturday in Pauls Valley. “The pressure that is on the lakes right now is tremendous. There’s a lot of youngsters that are out there. It’s crazy.

“Before, I knew where I needed to go to get what size fish I wanted for whatever reason I wanted, whether somebody was having a fish fry and needed 30 pounds of fish or 50 pounds of fish. I knew which holes I could go to to get those fish out of. Now it’s like, wow, I got to hunt around to try to get 30 pounds of fish.”

Duncan completes Navy Basic training

Navy Reserve Seaman Seth M. Duncan, son of Michael D. Duncan and Shauna L. Wheaton, of Paris, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Duncan completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, fire fighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations”.

This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Duncan is a 2013 graduate of Paris R-II High School, Paris.

more common these days, but state wildlife officials don’t believe the proliferation of tournaments is harming the resource.

The population of flatheads in Oklahoma lakes and rivers remains healthy, and more catfish are still caught on juglines and trotlines than by noodlers, Bolton said.

But Bolton admits the Wildlife Department doesn’t have any data to support that theory.

“We would like to have more information on noodling,” he said. “It’s tough information to collect. These guys are pretty secretive about their spots. It’s pretty hard to survey them.

“We would like to have more information, but we are not particularly concerned about overharvest by noodlers.”

Now, places like Durant, Wetumka, Com-

merce, Eufaula, Claremore and other towns across Oklahoma hold noodling tournaments.

But the Okie Noodling Tournament is still, in essence, the Super Bowl of noodling, and it will remain in Pauls Valley.

Beesley sold the rights to “Okie Noodling” to the City of Pauls Valley earlier this year. The city paid $50,000, based on the estimation of what Beesley made in merchandising.

Pauls Valley didn’t want to lose an event that draws thousands to Wacker Park.

“We feel like our tournament is true to the noodler and to the sport,” said Pauls Valley Tourism Director Erin Creach.

“It’s always been about the fish. We wanted to keep that tradition alive in Pauls Valley.”
