ing them, “an amazing group,” telling them she “enjoyed watching them grow and had no doubt they would be successful” in future endeavors. She asked them to remember who helped them reach the point they were and encouraged them to help others in the future. High school counselor Lisa Youse announced Teddy Ebbesmeyer as the 2015 valedictorian; she said Katie Otto and Audrey Vitt tied academically for salutatorian, however, a tie-breaking attendance record in favor of Ms. Otto gave her the honor of finishing second in the class. The remainder of the top 10 students included Miss Vitt, Quin Batels, Rachel Batsel, Jake Peak, Chrissee Wheeler, Brett Mason, Brant Francis and Eva Charlick. Ebbesmeyer, whose brother Josh was PHS’ valedictorian in 2012, received $1,000 from the Barnett family for his academic achievement, said as good as high school was for his classmates and himself, he believed the future was going to be better. “I believe everyone in this class has the potential and knowledge to compete for any job, raise a successful family and make friends wherever they go. He said PHS was one of the best schools in the state for preparing its graduates for the future and credited the educators, family and community for giving the class of ‘15 the necessary skills for success. He ended his remarks by saying, “You’ll be hearing the howls of the Paris Coyotes throughout the state and beyond.” Otto congratulated her classmates and told them it was their time to go out and make history. She said high school had been a roller coaster of emotions; working on the yearbook, she got to witness everything that went on and she’ll long remember her experience. She said she and her classmates were lucky to have Paris to call home and fortunate to have such a caring and closeknit community to support them. She reminded her classmates to not only thank their families, but to show appreciation to the school’s teachers, administrators and support staff. Mrs. Youse introduced nearly half of the class, 18 seniors, that had attained the state’s A+ eligibility status. The award is based on grade point average, attendance, 50 volunteer hours of tutoring and mentoring other students and a certain math placement score. Those recognized included: Quin Bartels, Rachel Batsell, Eva Charlick, Courtney Dickey, Alexandria Dreckshage, Teddy Ebbesmeyer, Brant Francis, August Hay-

hurst, Brett Mason, Russell Mitchell, Katy Otto, Jake Peak, Kyle Popkes, Brooke Rentschler, Slater Stone, Autumn Taylor, Audrey Vitt and Chrissee Wheeler. Academic letters, went to 10 students, who over four years achieved minimum 3.50 GPAs, maintained a 95-percent attendance record, did not receive a D or F grades and completed a mandatory list of rigorous academic classes. They received gold medals and will have their names and pictures permanently displayed in the hallway near the principal’s office. The group is composed of Quin Bartels, Rachel Batsell, Teddy Ebbesmeyer, Brant Francis, Brett Mason, Katie Otto, Jake Peak, Kyle Popkes, Audrey Vitt and Chrisee Wheeler. In addition to Mr. Ebbesmeyer, Miss Otto, the A+ and top 10 students, others graduating Sunday included Katie Allison, Justin Asher, Rachel Batsell, Ashley Carr, Brooke Carr, William Coffman, Christian Court, Tony Farran, Micayla Hagenhoff, Michaela Harrison, Benjamin Hayhurst, Noah Holmes, Jordan Howard, Earl Kendrick, Dylan Langerud, Jacob Major, Jeffrey Miller, Joseph Morton, Robyn North and Cody Reeves. High school principal Chris Willingham announced each graduate for presentation and was observed applauding after reading every name. As they passed him on the stage he either shook hands or hugged each student. Board president Teddy DeOrnellis had the privilege of presenting the diplomas to the graduates, however, was replaced by board members Raymond Batsell and Jamie Ebbesmeyer, when their respective children’s turn came to receive theirs. Classmate William Coffman wasn’t present for graduation; he completed his class work in December last year and joined the air force. A seat was saved for him among the graduates with his picture attached, and when his name announced by Mr. Willingham, the crowd gave him a minute-long standing ovation. Near the end of the ceremony the 2015 classmates distributed flowers to family members and after Mr. Willingham introduced them as PHS’ newest alumni, the youngsters threw mortarboards in the air, shot off several hidden confetti guns and cans of silly string, to the amusement and applause of the crowd. The ceremony concluded as the class marched out of the gym to the traditional recessional Pomp and Circumstance music while receiving another standing ovation.

MY TURN

Gay Marriage Bans May Not Last

The arguments are over at the Supreme Court about whether or not gay marriages can be banned as they were in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. The Courts, based on the hearings, appears to be divided as usual on such questions between liberals and conservative Justices and it very much looks like a 5-4 decision with Judge Anthony Kennedy being the deciding swing vote. Public opinion, as recent polls have indicated, has swung dramatically in favor of same sex marriage, reaching almost 60 percent in favor. This and the fairly weak purely legal arguments against allowing gay couples to be married point to a likely ruling against states passing laws that prohibit such marriages. If this happens, those Americans that believe that marriages are only between a man and a

woman will have to make a distinction. A contract marriage between gays and lesbians is legal but just a contract. A real marriage, or blessed marriage, is one between a main and a woman or blessed by the church of their choice and neither available to other than a man and woman bride and groom. Personally I don’t care if a person wants to marry their ferret or their parakeet if they can get their little foot marks on a contract. And I have seen gay and lesbian relationships between good and decent people and beautiful kids raised in these unions. But there should be room and understanding for those among us that oppose gay marriage and/or believe that their physical relationships are unnatural, wrong or sinful or any combination of the above.

I am writing this letter to the tax paying patrons of the Paris R-II School District. Having been employed myself by the district as well as Ryder Student Transportation, and lastly, but not in the least, the wife of a previous school board member during a period of time when the district dealt with financial and budgetary issues which resulted in several “marathon” meetings to resolve some extremely difficult and often times unpopular choices they had to make… these experiences have allowed me some small degree of knowledge and a wealth of first-hand and personal experiences, I would like to share with you. First, I want to thank those support staff members and faculty who desire to be an encourager, a positive influence and a person who treats all students and coworkers with the same respect that they expect from our students; regardless of any perceived statuses as “TOP DOG” or “UNDERDOG”; an “underachiever” or an “overachiever”. You know who you are and so do many grateful students and parents. We thank you. Secondly, I would like to thank one particular person who has been to me, a co-worker and my former boss and mentor. Thank you for your genuine concern for the safety of all students you have transported in the past thirty-five years (accident free!). As my coworker and boss, I appreciate that you put into practice what you taught… 1) No corner-cutting on pre-trip inspections. 2) Report maintenance problems at the time they are discovered. 3) A dirty bus contributes to unsafe driving… clean windows, exterior warning lights and cautionary lettering provide optimal visibility to the bus driver and any traffic near the bus. 4) Students deserve a driver who enforces rules put in place for the safety and well being of all riders. 5) students deserve a driver who is safe-minded, alert, kind but firm, respects the responsibility entrusted to them and shows it safe and defensive. 6) Tax paying patrons deserve employees who respect school property and strive to conserve funds by being an honest and thrifty “team player”. Without a doubt, Donna Turner, you are more than deserving of my gratitude for all the above mentioned attribute and I would, and have, entrusted my children and grandchildren in your more than capable hands many times. Need I say more! Pam Wilt Paris

COMMUNITY NEWS Madison C-3 FFA holds Second Annual 8th Grade Night On May 1, Madison FFA hosted their second annual 8th Grade Night. This activity is designed to introduce next year’s freshmen to the many aspects of agricultural education and FFA. There were ten booths created by FFA members that were set up to explain these different aspects. A few of the booths included trap shooting, Supervised Agricultural Experience, Leadership Development Events, Official Dress, and much more. After the eighth graders view all of the booths, everyone goes to the classroom for pizza and soda. This activity gives high school FFA members the chance to showcase all that the FFA does and all that they have learned and helps the eighth graders to begin getting excited about FFA.

Serving you for the last 20 years!

The snow and ice may be gone for much of the country, but it’s important for drivers to stay “street smart” this spring. Spring showers may bring dangerous driving conditions along with the flowers. In fact, wet roads can be just as slippery as ice-covered roads. Compounding matters, rainy weather can also affect driver visibility. As drivers hit the road this spring, here are a few tips to help ensure a safe journey to your destination: Do not use cruise control during heavy rains or hail. Cruise control during low traction wet conditions could lead to hydroplaning or loss of vehicle control. Using the cruise feature also allows you to move your feet away from the pedals, and disengaging the cruise control may take crucial seconds during an emergency situation. Replace worn tires. Your tires are what keep your car on the road. Worn out treads provide less traction. Also, make sure tires are inflated properly according to your vehicle owner’s manual. Replace worn wiper blades. Poorly maintained windshield wipers can hamper visibility in poor weather. Clean windows. After a long winter salt and other road residue can build up on your windows. Wiper effectiveness and visibility can be greatly enhanced by just cleaning the glass and removing the residue. Cleaning the inside of the glass can also increase visibility and help the defroster clear you windows faster by reducing moisture buildup. Check all lighting. Rain itself can also impact visibility so check all vehicle lighting including headlights, taillights, back-up lights, turn signals, parking lights and brake lights. These lights are important because they help you and other motorists to see each other in times of limited visibility. - See more at: http://learningcenter.statefarm.com/ safety-2/auto-2/dont-let-spring-weather-melt-awayyour-safe-driving-habits/#sthash.FkP92cRz.dpuf

CHURCH NEWS

The congregation of Holliday Christian Church gathered for worship as organist, Jane Akers, began the prelude. Reverend David Holmes welcomed all in attendance and then shared a thank you from the Paris After Prom Committee. Happy birthday wishes were for: Opal Johnston, Zelmajo Ragsdale, Jerry Ragsdale, Julie Clifton and J. D. McMorris. The opening hymn, “This is My Father’s World”, was followed by pastoral prayer and Gloria Patri. Prayer concerns were expressed for: Pete and Margaret Olney, Mike McLaughlin, Gerald Roberts, Ann Ragsdale, Donnie Willingham and Lysa Holmes. Praises were given for Becky Walch and Charlie Parrott’s escape from a fire. Safe travels were wished for Judy Elsbury. Sympathy was extended to the family of Jean Wilson; Gary Wilson expressed thanks on behalf of his family for the kindnesses and support from the church family. The prayer hymn, “The Nail-Scarred Hand” was sung; pastoral prayer and unison recital of the Lord’s Prayer followed. “This Do In Remembrance of Me”, was the communion hymn sung as elders, Guy Callison and Phil Blakemore, went forward. Serving as deacons were: Jerry Koch and Gerald Roberts. The congregation stood to sing the doxology to close the communion service following sharing of communion and offerings. Scripture from John 17:6-19 was read to begin the morning message from Reverend David Holmes. The message, “I’m Praying for You”, served as a lesson to pray for each other as Jesus prays for our souls and for those in need to give us the strength to take whatever comes and the courage to face each day. For children to grow in faith, they need the prayers of their parents. Each of us needs to take seriously our identity as a child of God. Worship was closed with the hymn of invitation and dedication, “Savior, Like A Shepherd Lead Us”, followed by a closing prayer and “The Spirit Song”. A time of fellowship and refreshments was enjoyed. Bible Study was opened with prayer by Jim McMorris. A chapter from “365 Things God Wants Us to Know” was read by Linda Wilkerson. Mendy Blades shared a poem, “A Woman’s Love.” The group was then led in study of Romans, Chapter 12, by Jim McMorris. Services begin are held at 9:30 a.m., each week at Holliday Christian Church followed by Bible Study at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

On May 17 church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church activities of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included: May 30, from 6 – 7:30 p.m., will be a Fish Fry benefit for Christmas is Caring, June 13 in the NEMO Gospel Sing at Paris Fairgrounds, and on June 20 at 7 p.m., will be Singsperation at the church. The message today was titled ‘A True Royal Priesthood’ and came from Leviticus 10:1-11. 1 Peter 2:9-10 tells us that we are a part of the priesthood of God. This priesthood was started with Aaron and his two sons Nadab and Abihu. These sons were consecrated into the priesthood with Aaron but did not follow God’s commands. When they offered strange fire to God, God burnt them to death. Aaron’s sons had a pride problem and thought they would be accepted by God if they simply showed up and praised God however they desired. They were dead wrong. We serve the same God today as they did back in 1490 BC. We have God’s grace today but His grace is not license to ignore His commandments and do things as we desire. The effect of God’s grace in the believers is to give power to the believer to fulfill the will of God. God requires honor and glory from those who approach Him and because we are part of His priesthood we are to approach God. All the worship, service, and sacrifice we do in the name of God must be based on His Word and for His glory. Anything done in the flesh will be a reproach to God and He will reject it. We like to think of God only as love but He is holy and requires those who approach Him to treat Him as holy. This means we must honor God above all else. It is amazing that Aaron held his peace when God slew his two sons. Aaron hurt beyond imagination but said and did nothing except bow his head in reverence to God. Aaron understood his sons brought sacrilege and sinned against God. Though his family was shaken, his heart was broken, and his sons were dead, Aaron knew the glory of God was more important. Aaron knew what many Christians today have forgotten; Aaron knew he had to put God first in all things. Aaron’s family, business, hobbies, or entertainment did not come before God’s holiness. Worshipping God was not a casual thing to Aaron for Aaron did not worship a casual, mediocre God. Aaron worshipped the true and living all powerful God who demanded allegiance at all times. Aaron had to be able to separate the profane (his sons) from his holy God. Today’s Christian seems to have forgotten that God calls those serving Him to be separate from the world. Christians are so busty with things of the world we have little or no time to serve the God we say we love and cherish. We must get back to distinguishing between the holy and unholy or man’s soul will be lost. Looking and acting like the world will not bring anyone to see the glory of Jesus Christ and the holiness of God. Approach and serve God as He commands!

Pastor Kenny Sharp’s sermon was titled “Moving Forward”. Scripture was taken from Acts 1:1-8, 2:1-4, 41, 47. Acts tells of the time the church was started after Jesus ascended into Heaven leaving his apostles to now go forth and preach the Word. The apostles were all unschooled individuals who listened to their teacher. Jesus was their instructor and continues to be ours. Power, victory and freedom are all in His name. At some point of our lives, we graduated to become a child of God. Will Jesus be the one you follow when the world tells you not to? God has a plan for each one of us. One soul saved is just as important as 3000 saved in verse 41. Where two or more are gathered, there Jesus will be, too. Serving at the Lord’s Table were Wayne Conley, Charles Thomas, Charlie Horstmeier, Dennis Kendrick, Donnie Wilkerson and Robert Conley. Friends and family members were lifted during prayer concerns and praises. Happy Birthday was sung to Darrel Wilkerson. Susan Kendrick announced the Salt Saturday youth group will meet Saturday morning from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. They will be setting up and discussing VBS which will be held next week, May 25 - 29 ,from 6-8 p.m., each night.

Granville Church is helping with a Relay for Life craft show this Saturday, May 23, at the Madison Community Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. This is the same day as the all-town garage sale. Granville Church will also have a booth there with crafts and items and we are still accepting donations for this booth. We have cookbooks available, with the proceeds going to Relay For Life. Contact Dale Ann Magruder for those. On Sunday, May 31, we will have our annual Graduate Recognition, with a carry-in lunch to follow. Each Sunday at Granville church, we get involved in an interactive Bible story so that the children (and adults) will remember it. The adult sermon is linked to the story in such a way that the children will be able to understand parts of it, also. Music is chosen for that theme. We have now sent a total of 185 care packages to servicemen and women in the combat zones since 2002. Please contact Brenda Coffman with names and addresses. There are funds available to send quite a few packages. Come spend an hour in worship and praise of the One who created you and constantly re-creates you (May 31, June 7 and 21). Sunday School is held at 10 a.m. every Sunday and communion follows on the weeks when we do not have worship services.

The May 17 worship service was at 9 a.m., which was Ascension Sunday. Pastor Bonnie Sudsberry, gave the message, “We Must Carry On” using Acts 1: 1-16 as the scripture. John 17: 6-19 was the scripture read by Tori Herin. The specials were, Jane Wilsdorf gave the history of the hymn, “Amazing Grace,” written by John Newton. Jimmy Legrand played the guitar and sang two songs, “Higher“ and “Going Home.” The Little Sermon, “Never Blow on a Dandelion” was given by Konnie Wilson.

During the morning worship Cyndi Rush sang a solo, “I Am Not Alone”. Kathy Miller served at the organ and Brenda Ensor played “Wherever He Leads” at the piano for the Personal Worship Moment. Lindsey Mitchell led the children’s sermon. She showed them a flashlight and asked ,” What use is the flashlight”? Answer: To have light when it is dark and be sure it has batteries. How does this relate to Christ? Her reference was Luke 8:16, “No one, after lighting a lamp covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so those who come in may see the light.” We should have God’s light in us so we can relate to others and be nice and kind to them. Steve Ensor gave the Call to Worship from Ephesians 2:1-10. Children’s church was led by DeDee and John Mitchell. Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon was titled “Living With Jealousy” from Acts 5:17-21. Verse 17 tells us that the Sadducees were filled with jealousy because they did not want the disciples healing and preaching about Jesus. These leaders put the disciples in prison but God sent an angel to open the prison doors. The angel told the disciples to go and stand in the temple and tell people all about this life. Verse 21 says In obedience to this, they entered the temple complex at daybreak and began to teach. We should be faithful and obedient regardless of the challenge. God will help us. At the end of the service two people went forward to rededicate their life. ANNOUNCEMENTS: (All events p.m. unless otherwise designated) Wednesday, May 20, Our Fathers Closet 9:00 a.m. noon; Prayer meeting 6:30; G.U.T.S (Youth) 6:30; NO choir.

Pastor Nancy Kellstrom

The choir singing “Reach Out To Jesus” opened the worship service on May 17 for the Perry Christian Church. Pastor Nancy Kellstrom gave the welcome. Bob Kellstrom is to stay off his injured foot but sent his thanks for the cards and prayers. “Voice Of Truth” was sung in praise. Congratulations go to the Laird’s grandson on his graduation and to all the graduates. Cross Evans was able to go home from the hospital and Floyd Seelow was able to be at church again. Arlen had his two year old granddaughter visiting and admitted “there is a reason grandparents are not parents”. The Prayer Hymn was “My Faith Looks Up To Thee”. Ernie Baker and Donald Laird are our concerns. “Hear Our Prayer, O Lord” was the choir’s response. Pastor’s communion meditation came from Acts, 1 and 2 Corinthians. “Break Thou The Bread Of Life” was sung before sharing the Lord’s Supper. Cheri Provancha accompanied Arlen as he sang the “Spirit Song” for our music special. The Children’s Moment was given by Pastor Nancy as she explained that praying didn’t always have to be done on our knees with folded hands but could be done at any time. She issued them to pray for one of their friends at any time this week. 1 John 5:9-13 was read by Danielle Berry. The pastor’s sermon was “Do You Solemnly Swear”. John confirms that Jesus had a fully human life. He called Jesus “The Word”, giving the gift of eternal life. When we walk the way that Jesus walked and love one another we give our testimony. “The Savior Is Waiting” was the invitation hymn. The Pastor’s benediction was that we pray for one another and be a witness for Jesus this week. “Amazing Grace” was sung to close the service. Everyone is welcome to join us and share the Spirit of our church family.

Watch for MoDOT mowers on roads Before the end of June, there is a good chance you will see MoDOT crews out mowing on tractor mowers so motorists have a clear, safe line of sight as they cruise along state highways. “Mowing the roadside increases visibility for motorists, which makes state highways safer,” said MoDOT State Maintenance Engineer Beth Wright. “While our crews are out there, we ask motorists to pay attention, slow down when approaching mowing crews, and pass carefully and safely.” Major and minor routes will be mowed at least three times through the end of October. Along with the mowing, crews selectively use herbicides to stunt grass growth as well as to control brush and stop the spread of noxious weeds. Wildflowers are an added benefit of not mowing fence-tofence and careful herbicide usage. On rural two-lane roads, crews may use a protective “follow” truck to alert motorists they are approaching slow-moving mowers. Drivers are advised to use the following tips to safely pass mowers: Slow down and focus on the road ahead of you. Avoid talking and texting on a cell phone or other distractions. Obey the no passing zone stripes and only pass when you can see far enough past the “follow” truck to avoid meeting

oncoming traffic. Between mowing cycles, report grass and weeds blocking visibility at intersections along state roads to MoDOT. Contact MoDOT’s 24/7 Customer Service Center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1888-275-6636) or fill out an online form at www. modot.org and click on Report A Road Concern.

Other activities that the members have participated in include Adopt A Soldier, Adopt A Highway, Christmas party, and Barnwarming. The chapter has grown a lot this year and is looking forward to their first annual Points Trip to Lazer Lanes on May 18th. This is a way to reward the top-participants in all other activities throughout the year. “As president of the first Junior High FFA, I have learned many qualieites on how to become a leader and how to make myself a better person overall. It has also allowed me to better my school and FFA Chapter. It has allowed me to further my knowledge about FFA and prepare myself for future years as an FFA member. The activities I have participated in have helped me to become a better leader. It helped me to build communication and teamwork skills. So far, the Junior High FFA has been a huge success.” – Keleigh Bennett
