Tax holiday helps with back to school purchases
Friday, Aug. 3 marks the beginning of Missouri’s 9th annual “Back-to-School” Sales Tax Holiday – a time for shoppers in Missouri to save money on computers, clothes and school supplies. By state law, the sales tax holiday begins on the first Friday in August and continues through the following Sunday. This year, the three-day holiday begins at midnight on Friday, Aug. 3, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 5. During this time period, the state’s 4.225 percent sales tax will not be assessed on certain purchases made in Missouri. Local governments can participate in the holiday and increase the savings for shoppers, or opt out of the holiday and maintain local tax revenue during the holiday. (See local entity list at end of article) “If you need a computer, school supplies or clothes, now would be a good time to begin planning to buy these items during the sales tax holiday,” said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue. “Saving more than 4 percent is significant, especially on more expensive items like computers.”
Monroe County Appeal
Missourians aren’t the only ones who can save during the holiday. “Out-of-state residents can save just as much as Missourians,” Barragán-Scott said. “The key is that the purchase has to be made in Missouri between Aug. 3 and 5. I encourage our neighbors from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and the other border states to come to Missouri and save money on school supplies, clothes, personal computers and other items while they shop here.” The state sales tax will not be charged on the following items during the holiday: *Clothing that does not have a value of more than $100. Eligible clothing includes standard items of apparel worn on or about the body, and includes footwear. It also includes material to make school uniforms or other school clothing. It does NOT include accessories such as watches, jewelry, handbags, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, scarves, ties, headbands and belt buckles. *School supplies, not exceeding $50 per purchase, that are used in a standard classroom for educational purposes. School supplies include textbooks, notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, crayons, art supplies, rulers, book bags, backpacks, handheld calculators, chalk, maps and globes. School supplies do NOT include CD playContinued to page 12

The Conversations Nobody is Having
One of the many bad things about Presidential election years is the absence of give and take conversations about serious and controversial issues. At the very top of the list would be to identify the government programs that would have to be reduced or changed to effectively reduce the national debt. Along with that discussion should be to identify when and how the government can raise the income necessary to operate within a reasonable budget. Another discussion worth having is whether or not there is sufficient evidence of global warming and whether or not we can take any action to slow or reverse it if it does exist. Most recently there is at least some reasons to expect having a rational discussion about whether or not even firm second amendment advocates could support some limitation on the kinds and number of weapons an individual or group may have in their possession. I would like to at least to hear such a discussion without having to turn in my NRA membership card. It would be helpful also to have some discussion between those who support gay marriage or equal benefits for gay couples and gays and lesbians about whether or not such support has to be unconditional or could the line be drawn at opposition to what I will delicately call gay practices? Or can you draw a moral line at all and still not be considered prejudiced? After the election, no matter who wins, there will be discussions about the direction of health care. I would especially want to hear from the people who are against providing health care to more Americans and those who favor continuing having emergency rooms be the primary and only choice for so many Americans. In turn, of course, we need the input of those who favor expanding health care as to how to best accomplish that and how we can pay for it. There are many other topics ripe for a real and honest airing between opposing groups and individuals. The rules for any of these discussions should be quite simply a respectful attitude for the person and the fact that there is another and different viewpoint on the subject and the willingness to find common ground if possible. The odds are that we are not always going to be right nor will those we disagree with always be wrong.

Just Ask Dave... by David Eales Publisher/Editor
appeal@parismo.net The Olympics! Millions and millions of people are watching the Olympic games either in person, on television, streaming to their iPads or phones or watching on their computers! They are watching athletes vie for gold medals, silver medals and bronze medals. It started me thinking about our own Olympians here in the local area. We have Olympic quality athletes here you ask? Why yes we do. We have people everyday that step up to the plate and hit one out of the park so to speak. (Baseball should be an Olympic event, ask an Cardinal fan!) David Eales Let’s review... What are the Olympics? The Olympic Games is a major international event featuring summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered to be the world’s foremost sports competition and more than 200 nations participate. The Games are currently held biennially, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating, meaning they occur every four years within their respective seasonal games. Locally, we have people that could be Olympic participants but in everyday life events. Many people watch the trap and skeet shooters in the summer games. Here in Paris we have some of the best shooters in the state thanks to an extremely modest but excellent instructor - Darrin DeOrnellis. His skill is witnessed by the success of his shooters such as John DeOrnellis, Austin Tawney, Brett Mason and Saylor Forsyth and tons more. The skill he and his helpers impart to their shooters is indeed gold medal worthy. Other people watch the sand volleyball competition. These superb athletes dive in the sand to dig out balls and work hard for each and every point. Locally, we have Ali Rentschler who, no matter how hard the work, dug out a truly successful Relay For Life of Monroe County. No matter how many hours were necessary or how much work was needed, she put forth the effort. She truly had a gold medal performance. People say that the United States gymnastic team worked together to bring home Olympic gold for their country. Three local young ladies - Carley McCall, Morgan McCall and Kendall Mason work together in the same way to reach their goals. They saw a cause; they planned a route to reach their goals; they worked hard; and they worked together every step of the way. Can you say teamwork? A very Olympic gold worthy effort! Basketball is an Olympic event.. and the 2012 Dream Team is playing terrific team basketball. Locally, during the last varsity season Cole Lockhart and Jacob Youse put on impressive shows on the hardwood. The skills they demonstrated were indeed Olympian and gold worthy as they championed their respective teams. Cole Lockhart was a multi sport athlete and was named an All State athlete in baseball (You know that sport that should be an Olympic sport but was obviously overlooked by accident) These are but a small sampling of the “Olympic quality” individuals we have in the local area. People who toil in obscurity but perform in excellence as they help our community, our home, to grab that gold medal and shine. Look around - they are everywhere! Have a great week!

90 Years Ago July 28, 1922
The local supply of ice was exhausted at Paris last Friday and a local dealer began trucking it in from Mexico, which tripled the price. T. G. Dulaney, of Hannibal, celebrated his eighty-first birthday anniversary this month by giving $1,000 to each of the four following colleges of the Christian church: Culver-Stockton, at Canton; William Woods, Fulton; Bible College, of Missouri, at Columbia; and Christian College, at Columbia. At the Indian Creek, Monday, the ladies of the Catholic church served 250 apple, chocolate, cocoanut and cherry pies; 140 chickens, 390 pounds of beef, a lot of country hams, 350 loaves of bread, 1000 buns, 20 gallons of fruit salad, bushels of slaw, great pans of baked beans, several gallons of pickles, several bushels of ripe tomatoes, huge quantities of potato salad and salads of other sorts, two barrels of ice tea and about two thousand cups of coffee. Frank Bryan and family, of Kansas City, are visiting at W. H. Blackford’s. The trip to Paris was made in their car. Frank has been a switch man for six years and is taking a 30 day vacation. Rather unusual indeed was it that the lucky number winning the twenty-five in gold given away by the American Legion at the picnic Thursday, was held by Pearl Haydon, Mr. Haydon’s father J.L. Haydon having won the Overland automobile given by the legion last year. E.T. Fuller, of Paris; John Atterbury, of Madison, and R.S. McClintic, of Monroe City, attended hearings before the Road Commission in Jefferson City this week and expressed the opinion that Monroe County was satisfied with the routes that had been selected.

Mr. and Mrs. Popkes leave soon for Washington where they will make their home. Invited guests are Rev. and Mrs. Willard Reavis and Miss Lula Mae Pollock, of Paris. H. G. Brock, near Holliday, renewed his Appeal subscription last Thursday for the 33rd successive year. He remarked that during all that third of third of a century he had never missed so much as a single copy. Preston Tanzey got an average of a little over 22 bushels of wheat from 30 acres and he had 800 bushels of oats which made an average of 48 bushels to the acre. A family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Caskie Hayden, Sunday, in honor of the 79th birthday of Tom Hayden, Caskie’s father. Miss Oma McGee entertained at Bridge Tuesday afternoon. Miss McGee is taking her vacation from the Ladies Style Shop this week. Peak Home Planners club met at the home of Mrs. Mace Talley, Wednesday, July 21, with eleven members and five visitors present. We were anxious to hear the answers to the roll call, which was “What I Remember Most Vividly About My Wedding.” It proved to be interesting as well as amusing. Miss Emily Curtright returned Sunday from a two weeks visit in Hannibal and Frankfort.

A combination of no rain, sizzling temperatures and high humidity during the past two weeks is on the verge of causing serious problems for county farmers and their crops. The Paris Park Board met Monday night and considered a wide variety of topics concerning future plans at the Paris fairgrounds. Every year about this time, housewives and daughters keep unusually busy preparing and canning vegetables from their gardens. This year’s crop of fresh vegetables is a bumper harvest. We don’t have a garden, maybe next year, but just the same we have been the recipients of many gifts of beans, corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Monroe County families know how to make gardens and produce vegetables in extra large quantities. Monroe County families are also very generous with their vegetables. Over 100 law enforcement officers from throughout the northeast part of the state gathered near Paris last Thursday for the 5th annual Northeast Missouri Peace Officers Shoot. A cousin reunion was held at the home of Bill and Karen Parrish, Sunday, July 26. A fish fry dinner was served. Some attending from Paris were Murline Hamilton, Gene and Mary Jane Havens, Libby Morehead, and Danny Baker. Amber Collins, daughter of Donald and Mary Collins, Paris, attended Missouri Business Week, July 12-17 at the University of Missouri.
Just a Thought
by Lisa Talton
Socks, socks and More or Less Socks
Who would have thought that socks would be one of the major issues we deal with as mothers? You got your disappearing socks, your dirty socks, your hole filled socks, your laying-around-for days-in-the-middle-of-the-floor-socks, your shoved in the couch cushions sock, etc. etc. etc. We are trying to figure out how they get sooooooo dirty, where all the holes are coming from, why our children are shoving, hiding, and putting them in odd places and where are they disappearing to? The first sock issue I want to discuss is “Where are all the socks going?” We think they are going into the washer as a pair but they seem to come out one without the other. Do they get left when we transfer them from the washer to the dryer? Or do they hide somewhere in our dryers only to fall to the ground missing their destination. Then it is anyone’s guess what happens after that. Maybe they get stuck under the dryer, or maybe they fall behind it or better yet maybe they are picked up by someone who finds it on the ground and thinks it is dirty so they toss it right back in the dirty clothes? (I have to say I think that last possibility has no probability of happening, at least in my house, because it would mean that my children not only pick up socks that are on the floor but that they put them in the dirty clothes.) OR maybe, just maybe, the other sock never even had a chance of making to the washer. Which brings me to the next sock issue I want to discuss: Why do our children shove socks, hide socks and place socks in all the wrong places? Well, first off I need to be fair and also include daughter’s socks shoved in between the couch cushions but I have found my husband’s
a time a two. Now he will deny it and say he didn’t shove them in there but merely placed them on the side of the cushion and somehow they got wedged in. Nonetheless, they are still in the couch instead of the washer. The if my daughter is not shoving them in the couch cushions, she is putting them under her bed, in her closet, in her desk, and even with her hair products. She will put them anywhere and everywhere but the place they need to go. But he worse of the worse, in my opinion, is when I go to put the clean socks in my son’s dresser drawers only to find mismatched dirty socks residing in there. More than likely they are the very matches to the socks I just pulled out of the dryer that I couldn’t seem to find. I don’t think it is much of a mystery how our children get their socks filthy or filled with holes. I am sure most of us have had to tell our children umpteen times to stop wearing their socks outside with no shoes on. Or our children climbing, running, playing, in weeds, mud, dirt, and anything else they can find to help dirty up their socks. The last thing I want to talk about is that lonely sock that sits on the floor getting passed by over and over, time and time again, by not just one of my children but by all four of them. Sometimes they walk around it. Other times they step over it. They might step right on it and yet other times they even kick it out of the way. Then the craziest part about it is I will also ignore it because I want to see how long it will stay there before someone picks it up. I use to let it stay there for quite some time but as I get older and realize my children are not getting any faster at picking it up or any more aware of the sock, I pick it up after much shorter time elapse. I guess there are some things in life we aren’t meant to understand. I just didn’t think socks would be one of them.

Long term drought affects all county residents
Local officials attended a session with the administrator of USDA last week at the Monroe County farm of Mike and Aaron Whelan.

USDA top official visits local Monroe County farm
By Linda Geist On Friday, July 24, the top administrator of the Risk Management of the U.S. Department of Agriculture told Monroe County farmers that the agency has relaxed regulations to help farmers through a record-breaking drought. William J. Murphy of Washington, D.C. visited with local farmers at the Stoutsville grain farm of Monroe County Eastern District Commissioner Mike Whelan and his son, Aaron, as part of a statewide inspection of droughtplagued farms. The younger Whelan serves as an Obama Administration appointee of Missouri Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Committee. “The administration is looking for ways to help with relief,” Murphy told approximately 40 farmers, bankers, crop insurance agents and elected officials. Included in that relief package are 30-day extensions on payments without penalties and operating loans with interest as low as 2.25 percent. Murphy said U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack is pushing to relax restrictions on CRP land, in addition to
pushing for passage of a new farm bill that would provide additional drought relief. Additionally, deviations from standard procedures for insurance agencies have been preapproved to allow agencies to expedite claims. The good news is that USDA is not limited by budgetary concerns for payouts to farmers and there will be a great deal of flexibility in determining losses, he said. Farmers who pay for crop insurance will see some financial relief from failed crops. But will that insurance be enough? “Crop insurance will help this year,” he said. He said crop insurance alone may not be enough this year, depending upon the level of coverage and whether the farmer had contracted on the futures market to provide levels of grain that they are unable to produce. Many farmers are cutting corn into silage or “abandoning” crops by not spending more money on production. Murphy urged farmers who are doing this to contact their crop insurance agent before making either one of those decisions. Farmers should also begin pull-

The last recorded drought for Monroe County farmers was in 1988, he said, but this year’s lack of rainfall is worse. According to the National Weather Service, Monroe County received only 4.39 inches of rain from May 1-July 19. This is 7.69 inches less than the average for this period. The January to May 2012 rainfall was 9.77 inches less than the average, with the damage being compounded by back-to-back recordsetting scorching temperatures. Rainfall has been so scattered that some farms have received even less than the reported amounts. Nearly 125 people gathered in the Paris Ag Education Building on Thursday evening, July 25, to visit with MU Agronomist Max Glover and Purina Nutritionist NT Cosby. Glover & Cosby shared information with area livestock producers on how to deal with drought conditions that are affecting livestock feed supplies in the area. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Carol Hall has been working with the kitchen to fix the budget for 2012-2013. They have been in contact with Martin Brothers, a wholesaler out of Iowa who is contracted with MSBA. The company can hopefully help to lower the costs in food service through better pricing. With new regulations coming from the state, the board discussed switching to offer versus serve in the kitchen. This would allow students to choose which items they would like on their tray rather than just serving them everything. Old Business: Superintendent Hall gave the Principal’s Report and also gave program evaluations for Board Policy, School Climate and Safety, and Student Handbook. It was noted that the MAP testing results have been received and
overall the students did well. Transportation: A side bus window was broken and had to be replaced. Building Maintenance: Jerry has been working on the building.

MONROE COUNTY VOTERS: My name is Rita Wilkerson and I am a candidate for Treasurer of Monroe County.
My goal was to knock on every registered voters’ door, to visit and leave an informative flyer about myself. I apologize if I have missed anyone. I also would like to add some information that was not on my flyer. For the last four years, I have verified the Treasurer’s end of month totals for correct balances and then give each department their monthly statement of accounts report showing them what the balances on each line item is with income and expenditures, and this also includes the Road and Bridge Department. As your next Treasurer, along with using the computerized governmental accounting program (GFMS), I will continue to maintain a hand written ledger, not only is this good practice, it is a second check, a method to ensure monthly totals are correct the first time, saving time and money, and assures balances in a more timely manner. I will also continue to send copies of cemetery funds to the appropriate people and continue preparing the farmer’s gas tax forms. Voting time is here and I urge every registered Voter to utilize your right to vote. For diligence, honesty and integrity, August 7, choose the Democratic ballot and put your mark by my name and elect Rita Wilkerson as Monroe County Treasurer. Thank you! Paid for by Citizens to elect Wilkerson - Martha Cullifer, Treasurer

South Fork Presbyterian
Pastor John Grimmett
The Sunday, July 29 services at South Fork Presbyterian church began with Patti Grimmett playing “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty” on the piano followed by Pastor John Grimmett leading in the Unison Prayer. Debbie Carey led in song to “Revive Us Again”, “Trust and Obey”, “Onward Christian Soldiers”, and “Threefold Amen” prior to prayer concerns for, Amanda Grimmett; the Grimmett family; Mark; little Madeline Rose; families in Colorado; Melodies sister and family; Katherine; and a praise for the Rahmeyer’s on the purchase of Garden Gate Florist in Mexico; for the showers and the showers of blessings. God is good; His strength will heal all hearts and all said the Lord’s Prayer in unison. Pastor John and Patti played guitar as she sang the “Revelation Song”. The message “The Main Thing” was based on scripture from Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 and 3; To everything there is a season, and a time to everything there is a purpose under heaven...a time of vanity - a “vapor” - meaningless - frail and fragile. You can have all things and still everything is worthless like a vapor. You have to seize the moment - don’t waste another minute, another hour, another year! If Satan is chasing you - read - believe and you and God can turn around and chase the devil away together...read all twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes...hear the conclusion of the whole matter...Fear God, and keep the commandments, for this is the whole duty of man...Love the Lord with all your heart. Patti played “Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” as Kaylee Beckham led the offertory. As all retired in fellowship to Roth Hall for coffee and donuts, Patti played “I Sing the Mighty Power of God”. Services are held every Sunday at 9 a.m. and all are welcome to share in the word of the Lord...

A special thanks went to the seven teens who helped. “O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee” was the call to prayer. Concerns were given for Marie Lewton, Bob Laudeman, Lois Friday, Laura Garner and the family of Eloise Swank (service will be Wed., 10 a.m., at the Garner Funeral Home, Monroe City.) The response was “Alleluia”. After Pastor’s meditation, “Christ Arose” was sung for sharing of the Lord’s Supper. Greg Harrison and Arlen served as elders, while Amanda Johnson, Nancy Seelow, Warren Hetrick and Wyatt Lewellen were deacons. Special music was provided by the children as they sang and acted the bible school play songs. Alisha Eisele taught the children’s moment about “left overs” and sharing with others. John 6:1-21 was read by Joyce Coleman. “Trust in the Lord” was the sermon topic. As we go through the storms of life, it is amazing what happens when we share our love and time with others in need. The Invitation Hymn was “I Surrender All” followed by the benediction and singing “Blest Be the Tie That Binds.”

Pastor Kenny Sharp
Pastor Kenny Sharp read scripture from 1 Corinthians 5:9 - 6:11 for worship services Sunday morning. This scripture gives instructions for dealing with open sin in the church, with a person who claims to be a Christian and yet who sins without remorse. In Paul’s message to the Church of Corinth, he clearly says that we are not to disassociate ourselves from unbelievers-otherwise we could not carry out Christ’s command to tell them about salvation. But we are to distance ourselves from the person who claims to be a Christian-yet commits sins forbidden in Scripture. We are to win over that person with stern love until they get right with Jesus Christ. Several of our youth attended Church Camp at Cedar Crest last week and shared with the congregation how the camp leaders, speakers, and chaperones made their spiritual lives stronger. They thanked the Crossroads Baptist Association for opening the camp to them. Prayers were requested for Peggy Crabtree, Donald Johnson, Sara Dunlap, Tara Graupman and Brad Houston. Children’s Ministry was led by Susan Duncan and Joyce Horstmeier. Thank You cards were read from the family of Jane Scrogin, Vendetta Locklear, and John Theis. Bev and Bill Holmes thanked the church for their support in their attendance of the Christian Marriage Ministry. The SALT Saturday group went to Monroe Manor on Saturday and played games, read scripture and visited with the residents. Dates To Remember: Saturday, Aug. 11 - Concert by Joshua 24:15 will be at the Madison Community Center at 2 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 16 church picnic; Oct. 8 - Women’s salad supper; Bible study every Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. (supper at 6 p.m.) in the Fellowship Hall. Next Sunday morning, Sunday school

Perry multi denominational VBS - a success
Perry Vacation Bible School....
Perry Vacation Bible School was tremendous. Perry had 52 children registered during the week. They had a great time singing and listening to Bible stories. Sponsors would like to thank everyone who helped to make Vacation Bible School so successful. It takes a lot of work and cooperation to plan and have this wonderful ministry for the children of our community. We are thankful for the support by our local businesses. This is also a special time for the older youth and the younger children to interact. Both the older youth and the adults were blessed by the VBS.

It’s likely that at some point in your life you will need assistance with your daily activities. In fact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 70 percent of people over age 65 will eventually need long-term care, whether in a home setting, a senior living community or a nursing home. Long-term care insurance can help cover the costs of these services and may help you preserve your financial resources. Keep these factors in mind if you’re thinking about purchasing coverage: Age. Look at long-term care insurance well before you need it. The older you are, the more you can expect to pay for your plan. Also, if you wait, it’s more likely you’ll have developed a health condition that may disqualify you from getting coverage. While there’s no “right” age to buy, the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance estimates more than half of long-term care policies are purchased by people ages 55 to 64. Affordability. Coverage and cost vary, so shop around for a plan that will be reasonably affordable rather than choosing one that breaks your budget. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners recommends spending no more than 5 percent of your income on a long-term care policy. Features. It’s not easy to evaluate different plans. Be sure to compare these key features: Benefit trigger. The criteria or event the insurer uses to determine when your policy will go into effect. Elimination period. The number of days you’ll pay for care out of your own pocket before you begin receiving benefits. Thirty days is the minimum elimination period for many long-term care plans. Daily benefits. The amount the policy will pay on a daily basis. Some plans pay benefits based on the hours of service, such as the number of hours a home health aide visits your home. Inflation adjustment. A feature that helps your benefits keep pace with rising costs. Types of services. A description of what’s covered under each plan and where you may receive this care—at home or in an assisted living residence, adult day care facility, nursing home, or other setting. Duration of benefits. The length of time you’ll receive benefits, from a few years to as long as you live. Exclusions. Stipulated conditions or acts that the benefits won’t cover. These could include conditions caused by alcoholism or dangerous behaviors. Learn more about long-term care insurance from the HHS National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information. Contact your State Farm® agent to discuss policy options that may be available to you.

THE COUNTY TREASURER’S RACE AND VOTING BY OUR OWN STANDARDS Next Tuesday, August 7, is election day. On the ballot that day is a contest for Monroe County Treasurer between the current Treasurer, Mary Lynn Powell and challenger Rita Wilkerson, presently employed in the County Clerk’s office. I know them both well enough to call them Mary Lynn and Rita and will do so hereafter. Mary Lynn was chosen by the Democratic central committee to recommend to Governor Nixon over several other candidates and was appointed County Treasurer by the Governor on March 21, 2011. Rita did not apply for that appointment. At that time Mary Lynn had promised to modernize and upgrade the office which she has worked hard to do. Both ladies could do the job and both have run active campaigns to be elected. The race is not about partisan politics since both are running on the Democratic ballot. But it does give County voters the opportunity to act on the standards by which many of us claim we make our decisions for casting our votes. We claim that 1. I vote for the most qualified candidate. With a degree in accounting and years of experience with economic and accounting issues and actual experience as Treasurer, Mary Lynn clearly has the edge here. 2. I retain people in office that are doing a good job and replace those that are not. I have seen and heard nothing but good things about the performance of Mary Lynn thus far as Treasurer. Likewise I have not heard from Rita in her speeches or any literature that either Mary Lynn was not doing a good job or that Rita could do a better job if elected or would do it differently. On Wednesday morning August 8, the day after the election, win or lose, Rita will have a job at the Courthouse. If Mary Lynn wins, they both will. If she does not she will be looking for work. There is a real issue of fairness here. I do not have any personal ax to grind in this race. I like and respect both ladies and believe either could do the job. But Rita’s candidacy in this particular race at this time reminds me of the lyrics of an old familiar tune, “It’s the wrong time and the wrong place and though your face is charming it’s the wrong face.” I sincerely believe that Mary Lynn Powell has earned a full term as County Treasurer and urge your support for her continued hard work by voting for her next Tuesday.

Chance Douglas Wheelan participated in The American Legion Boys State of Missouri, June 1623, on the campus of the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Wheelan was selected based on his leadership, citizenship, academics, and character during his junior year at Paris High School. “I would like to say thank you to the American Legion Post 221 for sponsoring me,” said Wheelan. “It was a week that changed my life, and I’m grateful to have the had the chance to go.” Boys State is a pure democracy in that all citizens may vote and are eligible to hold office. The program is designed to educate and train Missouri’s young leaders in functional citizenship, leadership and government. Nearly 1,000 student leaders build an entire state government in a single week. Wheelan’s accomplishments, positions held, and awards earned at Missouri Boys State include: Citi-
zen of Duggan City; Member of the Federalist Party; Policeman, Ward Ill. Wheelan attended Law Enforcement School while participating in Boys State. Wheelan (son of Kelly and Jeff Williams) was sponsored by American Legion Post 221 - Paris. Sponsors afford the opportunity for students to participate in this nationally recognized program and are critical to its continued success. The entire Boys State staff is
comprised of educational, legal, professional, and civic leaders who volunteer their time each year. Missouri Boys State is a 501(c) (3) organization and is a Missouri American Legion program. Students who will be juniors during the 2012-13 academic year and are interested in attending should contact their High School Counselor or visit the Missouri Boys State website at www.moboysstate.org. The 2013 session will be held June 15-22.

From The FRONT

County Treasurer - Rita Wilkerson... Continued from front nancial Records from the people who know the software program. During the last four years I have receipted most of county’s monies on GFMS (Governmental Fund Management Systems) from hand written receipts using Prairifire Software (the same software as is currently being used in Treasurer’s office today), along with hand written ledgers. I also receipted miscellaneous accounts (including cemetery accounts) on computer ledgers. I verify the treasurer’s end-ofmonth totals for correct balances before they are turned over to the Commission and County Clerk. Once totals are verified to be correct, I give each department their monthly balance report, which shows totals spent for what, and
their current balances. Why are you seeking to serve in this position? 1 am very capable of being the caretaker of the taxpayers’ monies and I care about this county and the residents. In the last 14 years of service to Monroe County, I have been learning about county government and have, as stated before, already been performing some of the duties of the office of Treasurer. I have a very good relationship with everyone in the Courthouse and that is important as we must work together for the good of the county. What challenges do you see facing this office and how are you best suited to deal with these challenges? Upcoming challenges may come from and be required by the state legislature. Whatever
Voters go to polls... Continued from front has moved the Santa Fe Polling Place to the Santa Fe Christian Church for the Tuesday, Aug. 7 Primary Election. This change is for the August Pri-
mary only, the November General Election will be held as usual in the Santa Fe Community Building.

challenges may arise, they will be met by me with what best serves the County’s interest. Again, teamwork plays an important part of holding the County together. I will do my best to work with County Officials and to work on behalf of the citizens of Monroe County. Comments: I will continue to use the GFMS Program, as well as maintaining the handwritten ledger. This is not only good practice, it is a second check, a method to ensure monthly totals are correct the first time - saving time and money, and assures balances in a more timely manner. As Treasurer of Monroe County I will dedicate myself to fulfilling every duty of the office with diligence, honesty and integrity. Thank You, Rita Wilkerson

mother was a stay-at-home mom from whom I learned my financial savvy. She taught me about stretching a dollar, stocking up and using coupons. I like to say “I can pinch a penny so hard you can hear Lincoln scream.” Specific skills, education or work experience: My first priority as your Monroe County Treasurer was to update the county financial records from hand-written ledgers to a computerized system. Drawing from my education and accounting background, I knew this program needed to be specific to the Treasurer’s office with the ability to be updated and cost effective while still protecting the county’s records by printing a hard copy and backing up my records regularly. As promised, this new system is now in place greatly improving the efficiency of the Treasurer’s office and I no longer have to purchase the expensive paper ledger stock. Financial information is available to those needing access with the click of a button or by looking at the printouts. The school districts, cemetery trustees and others have benefited from some of these efficiencies that I have made in the last 15 months.
Sales Tax Holiday... Continued from front ers, headphones, sporting equipment, portable telephones, copiers or other office equipment. *Personal computers that don’t cost more than $3,500 and computer peripheral devices that don’t exceed $3,500. A personal computer can be a laptop, desktop or tower computer system which consists of a central processing unit, random access memory, a storage drive, display monitor, keyboard and other related devices. Peripheral devices include items such as a disk drive, memory module, CD drive, microphone, modem, motherboard, mouse, speakers, printer, scanner, sound card or video card. Computer software is considered a school supply and is free from sales tax if its value is less than $350. Although anyone making qualified purchases does not have to be a student to benefit from the holiday, the sales tax exemption event is commonly referred to as the
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday because it occurs near the beginning of the traditional school year for most students. Barragán-Scott also noted that while the state’s temporary waiver of Missouri’s sales tax will apply statewide, the savings for consumers will be higher in many Missouri cities and counties. “When local governments and special taxing districts participate in the holiday, the savings can add up to 7 or 8 percent and even more,” she said. A total of 166 cities, 49 counties and 71 special districts have chosen not to participate in the holiday. Participating in the tax holiday are Mexico, Hannibal and Columbia while Paris, Moberly and Shelbina are not participating. Local counties participating include Monroe, Ralls and Randolph while Shelby and Pike are not participating.
House fire on Hickory Street, Paris, destroyed a residence. The home was locally owned. No information available on residents.
I also daily check the balances and activity of each bank account that is under my care as Treasurer. I am a watch-dog as caretaker of the county’s funds. I also oversee the trustee accounts for the majority of the rural cemeteries, process local farmer’s gas tickets and provide a local notary service for your convenience with all fees collected for that service being donated to Christmas is Caring. Specific skills: 10 key adding machine by touch, type 70 wpm, use of the Treasurer’s module of Prairie Fire Software program, which is specific to only the Treasurer’s office, as well as the General Ledger and Accounts Payable modules, JD Edwards Software, Lotus and Excel Software, Windows, Word, WordPerfect, and Corel Software and United States Bankruptcy Court Software which I implemented while at Fredrick Law Office. Education: Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from Columbia College in 1997 with a major in Accounting and a minor in Computer Science. I made the Dean’s list every semester and graduated Magna Cum Laude while working full-time. Graduated with honors from Incarnate Word Academy High School - 1980 Work experience: 30+ years of business and computer experience and 20+ years of accounting experience including: general ledger accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll and auditing. More specifically – Accounts payable and accounts receivable for Computer Country from 1981-1984 (manual bookkeeping); general ledger accounting with Accountemps from 19841990; payroll experience with Cigna Healthcare from 1990-1991; and general accounting and audit experience at Mallinckrodt Medical in the Treasury Department from 1991-1996. I also spent 13 years as legal secretary to Richard Fredrick providing customer service to his clients as well as confidentiality and integrity. I computerized Mr. Fredrick’s office and streamlined many of the day to day activities of the office. I have excellent problem solving skills as well as verbal and written communication skills and outstanding business communication skills. I work and play well with others and have a good sense of humor about myself. I am dedicated to doing the very best for YOU, the citizens of Monroe County. Why are you seeking to serve in this position? It has been such an honor to serve the citizens of Monroe County these last 15 months. I love my job and want to continue improving the Treasurer’s office and achieving State compliance. I also enjoy working with the other offices within the courthouse and providing them better information that helps them fulfill their obligations to the county.
Accounting and finance are my chosen profession. My 13 years working at Fredrick Law Office shows my strong, stable work history. My detailed knowledge of general and fund accounting as well as standard bookkeeping procedures in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board is an asset to the county. My maturity in the workplace is indicated by my dedication to serving the community, maintaining strict integrity and going the extra mile to get a job done. As has always been true of the Treasurer’s office, no one oversees my work and I am accountable to no one except you, the citizens. But the bottom line is that I want to continue to serve the citizens of Monroe County in my chosen profession of accounting. Using my experience, education and dedication to continue to improve the Treasurer’s office and continue to provide the customer service and honesty that you have come to expect from this position is a top priority of mine. What challenges do you see facing this office and how are you best suited to deal with these challenges? There are more improvements to be made in the area of tracking the details of the county’s day-to-day processes and in looking for ways to save the county money. It is also very important, as it is part of the checks and balances required by the State, that the Treasurer’s office remain an independent entity without influences from the other offices in order to keep the integrity of the office that is expected from the county. I am also in the process of bringing the office into State compliance with policies that the State requires we have in place and am best suited to deal with these challenges because of my experience as Treasurer, my education and my overall accounting and business experience. Comments: I am honest, kind and patient, a good listener, a good friend, a good wife and a good daughter. I love all creatures great and small. I am a Christian person with a deep faith in God and am an active member of St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church. I am Secretary to Monroe Manor Board since 2006, member of Paris Area Chamber of Commerce and Columbia College Alumni Association as well as Monday Night Pitch Club. I will treat you, the citizens of Monroe County, with the respect and honesty you deserve. I need your support and vote on August 7th in order to continue making progress for you, the residents of Monroe County. I am second on the ballot but your first choice in experience.

The family of Lillian Deaver would like to extend their thanks and appreciation for the love and support of the Paris Community after her passing. We are especially thankful for Marquerite Jones who so lovingly provided care for her so many years. We want to express our appreciation to the Paris United Methodist Church women who provided lunch for the family prior to the service. We want to thank Rev. Bonnie Sudsberry and Rev. Lin Donnelly for officiating the service, Mike and Kathleen Wilson for singing at the service and Susan Duncan for playing the piano. It was heartwarming to have so many people attend visitation and the service. This provided much comfort. We also wish to thank the Monroe Manor staff and Jim Reinhard for their caring services.
