All yesteryears are reprinted in the exact text of the original issue

Oh No!!! Not Again!!!(Part 1)

I have had sev-eral people ask me when I was going to write another mouse story. The bad news is (well,

really the good news is) I haven’t seen a mouse in my house since we inherited an outside cat who happened to have two babies. I know they made for a good read but I can’t say I miss seeing the lit-tle guys. So for those of you who asked here is the my story I wrote about the mousecapades that happened over two years ago. I hope you enjoy!!

After my children went to bed and my husband left to do something in the other room, I realize that I not only have the couch and television to myself but I have the WHOLE family room to little ‘ole me. So I fluff the pillows just right, swing my legs around and plop them up on the couch and then I lay back and re-lax. This is wonderful! I can pick what show I want to watch. I don’t have to watch a show that is rated for eleven year olds or younger or watch non stop ESPN coverage. I can pick a show- any show- that I want to see. I am loving life and really enjoying the moment when something happens that changes EV-ERYTHING.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a quick dark flash jolt across the floor. I say to myself, “Oh no!!! Please no!! I know that is not a mouse.” For those of you who do not know-I do not like mice at all. Well, let me explain. I do not have anything against them person-ally but I do not under any circumstance want them in the same room as me. I know they exist and I know they have a purpose because everything that God created has a purpose but I don’t want their purpose to have anything to do with being around me. So I then call out to my husband and ask him to come here. He gets to the family room and I tell him I think I saw a mouse. I then jump off the couch and run into the kitchen and immediately get up on a chair.

My husband tells me to go get my old-est son-his partner in mice excavation. He thought he was still awake. I call my son’s name but he does not answer. I call it several more times and then my husband tells me he must be asleep and don’t worry about it. Well let me tell you I was definitely worrying about it because I knew if my son was not helping him get the mouse I was going to be recruited. I didn’t want to be recruited. I did not want to be part of his team. Not only did I not want to be part of it, I wasn’t even qualified. I didn’t have any prior experi-ence, any qualifications or training in the area. And most importantly, how could I help him get a mouse when I was deathly scared of them and I was up on a chair?

Then I did something I was not proud of. I did something that could take my name off the mommy of the year list. I did something very selfish. I went into my sons room and got right down by his side and started calling his name and ask-ing him if he was awake. Then after I did not get a response I gave him a little tap on his side, still no reply so then I gave a little shake that eventually turned into a bigger shake that eventually turned into me waking him up. I know, I know I am a terrible mom!

My son slowly opens his eyes and looks around the room very confused. I then say in a very calm and low voice, “There is a mouse in the family room and your dad needs you to help him.” And then of course because I am feeling a tad guilty for waking him up, I ask him, “Do you mind?” He said he didn’t mind and then told me he wasn’t all the way asleep any-way. (How cute is he? He was definitely all the way asleep but him saying that made me feel a little better.)

We then walk towards the family room and my husband looks over at me and shakes his head. He knew the real deal. He knew I woke our son up because I was too scared to help him get the mouse. But I also think he was happy because he knew our son would be a whole lot more useful than I would be. (To be continued)

One of the by products of the information age appears to be a substantial increase in the instances of cheating in schools. A few months ago Harvard University caught 125 students that they claim had cheated on a final exam by sharing answers by tex-ting and by email on the take home exam. We don’t and never will have an accurate fix on how many of our current high school students cheat or have cheated on tests. however current research suggests a number as high as 85 percent of high school students cheat. I’m not at all sure the 85 percent of those interviewed would own up to cheating under any circumstances but that the number of cheaters is rising is very clear.

There is considerable pressure to do well at very early ages on tests that are per-ceived to affect students’ futures. Mixed with the very high costs of college, the pos-sibility of scholarships and awards loom large for most students.

Honesty is the best policy is taught in many, if not most, of our families. But nega-tive examples exist in our large businesses, and cultures, phony drug trials, false ad-vertising, athletes taking performance enhancing drugs and a whole lot of ordinary people are cheating on their taxes and on their spouses. Before we preach about cheat-ing to our kids we should acknowledge the many examples of cheating by our own generation and that for those that share information on Facebook, texting and tweets, it may be yet harder to draw the line at sharing information about test answers and assignments that are given to measure individual knowledge and skills. To give back a consensus response is not being honest nor helpful in the future.

More Cheating In Schools!

Solving a Problem That Doesn’t ExistWe are apparently among the Red States that have put forward the idea that voter

fraud is so rampant in our state that immediate legislation or other remedy is neces-sary.

The evidence of individuals impersonating registered voters at polling places is slim to none. The perceived problem seemed more critical as the 2012 presidential election became closer and strangely enough most severe in the swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Also very strange is the fact that minorities, the poor and seniors along with Hispan-ics are less likely to have drivers licenses or other identification issued by state or federal governments are also groups who generally had supported Democratic candi-dates in 2008.

Whether or not this is some sinister plot by Red State powers that be to curtail the number of voters that turn out to vote for Democrats in 2012 or just some coincidence and that this concern over voter fraud existed for some time in the minds of concerned Republicans is not so important. With all of the inactivity of Congressional Repub-licans on much more important and immediate issues perhaps their state representa-tives and Senators can slow play this issue until a year without a Presidential election to prove the good faith of their motives and alleviate the current suspicious smell of dead fish connected to this issue.

Dear Editor,History shows that great civilizations are rarely conquered before being weakened or

destroyed from within. They moved from apathy to dependency - then back to bondage. Could the history of Rome on the front page of the newspaper be passed off as today’s news?

Where is our nation going? What do we wish for our children and grandchildren? We are becoming slaves on Uncle Sam’s plantation. Our freedoms are being usurped more and more each day.

We have been truly blessed and have reached a standard of living never before known. And we did it in just a little over 200 years. Our Constitution has served us well, but it is being violated over and over again. The current administration has issued over 140 executive orders. We stand to lose the freedoms we enjoy as we see socialistic tenden-cies creeping into our lives.

Our children and grandchildren face paying off a $16 trillion debt that is being added to at the rate of almost $4 billion each day!! Who of us can spend our way into prosper-ity? Proverbs 22:7 says “and the borrower is servant to the lender.” Do we want to be servants to China who presently holds much of our debt? Last week the Federal Reserve announced it will be printing money at the rate of $40 billion per month to prop up the economy, further eroding the value of the dollars we have in our savings or the dollar we spend at the grocery store or gas station.

Our nation was established on Judeo-Christian principles, but I see a decline in spiri-tual values, moral stamina, and personal responsibility of citizens. It is our right and our privilege to vote, but if we vote blindly we may send our country into bankruptcy. I don’t trust the major networks media, nor some major newspapers and magazines. We need to pray for guidance and INFORM OURSELVES.

While it’s designed to paint a pic-ture about the growing numbers of people facing hardship regionally, the upcoming Poverty Awareness Day in Bowling Green also is a chance for organizers to bring a message of hope.

The event is co-sponsored by the not-for-profit North East Com-munity Action Corporation (NE-CAC), Pike County People First and the Pike County Agency for Developmental Disabilities, and will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Bowling Green Town Center next to Walmart.

“We certainly want to let as many people as we can understand that the numbers of folks facing pov-erty everyday is swelling,” said NECAC Pike County Service Co-ordinator Dana Gordy. “There are also a lot of people who are just a paycheck away from losing every-thing for which they’ve worked so hard. But we also want those who attend to see that there are programs and services available to help.”

Up to 50 booths will be set up by service providers, businesses and organizations. Each will feature cardboard boxes to demonstrate the plight of the homeless and of-fer statistics about the growing poverty rate.

“We have to address poverty be-cause it’s an issue that affects all of us, whether we know it or not,” Gordy said. “We hope to create more partnerships that will address how to better serve the disadvan-taged in our area.”

The government’s latest poverty statistics were released earlier this year. They showed at least one of every 10 people in the Tri-

State area of Northeast Missouri, West-Central Illinois and South-east Iowa falls below the federal benchmark for being poor. And, in some cases, the rates ranged from 13 percent to 18 percent, with one county coming in at 22 percent.

“The numbers are disturbing, particularly because they’re go-ing up,” Gordy said. “I think just about everyone knows someone who’s struggling to make ends meet. We want people who are in dire straits to know that there is help.”

Included in Poverty Aware-ness Day will be a “rally walk,” in which participants from each

booth will take turns carrying a banner from the start of the event to its finish. Donations of food also will be accepted, with all of it go-ing to area pantries.

NECAC has held poverty aware-ness events at individual locations in the past, but this will be the first large-scale event.

For more information about the event or the agencies involved, call Gordy at (573) 324-2207) or visit the NECAC Pike County Service Center at 805 Business Highway 61 North in Bowling Green.

The memory Bible memory verse is: For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Do not fear, I will help you.” Isa-iah 41:13 (NRSV). The thought for the week is: A Christian shows what he is by what he does with what he has.

On Sunday, Sept. 16, church services began with the pastor giving an opening prayer. Regular church meetings of the week were announced and all were encouraged to attend. Announcements included the Sunday School Attendance Drive has started with high attendance day on Sunday, Oct. 28. Remember Wednesday, Oct. 10 is the deadline to be registered to vote in November and it is the Christians duty to vote God’s Word and will.

This week’s message was titled “A Biblical View of Homosexuality” and came from Romans 1:17-32 with emphasis on 25-28. The world tries to make homosexuality a social issue but it is clearly a biblical issue. The Old Testament gives specific references to homosexuality four times and the New Testament five times. Supplement these teachings with biblical teach-ings on marriage and family, promiscuity, and sexual purity and the con-clusion is that homosexuality is a biblical issue. A presentation of various worldly teachings were given and answered through biblical interpretation. The purpose of this sermon was to equip Christians with knowledge and biblical wisdom to be able to publically present God’s truth within a social setting with love, tolerance and truth.

Manifest Destiny: a term from days long gone by. It originated in 1845 in an editorial essay by John L. O’Sullivan to describe the burgeoning zeal with which Americans were settling the new land and establishing statehoods. It was an exciting time, and a dangerous time. People banded together, shared their bounty, and ignored their differences in favor of common goals. Their combined efforts resulted in the great nation we live in today.

This zeal began in the hearts of men and women long before the eastern coast of America was settled: compelling people to leave the security of their homelands to strike out for a land of promise...not completely un-like the Promise Land given to Israel as they crossed the Red Sea: and the zeal with which they settled and established a nation. It was their manifest destiny to occupy and prosper in the land of promise...

In the New Testament we have ordinance in Matthew 29:18, to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” This zeal has been present in the hearts of Evangelical Christians since Jesus’ procla-mation: and is responsible for the founding of churches in just about ev-ery city in the United States. But one must wonder if that zeal is as strong today as it once was: and if Christians today truly love their neighbors enough to bring the Gospel to them. I challenge us to reignite the zeal of Manifest Destiny that burned in the hearts of our forefathers: to reach out to people who are spiritually hungry, and present them with the Gospel of the Ages.

Paris United Methodist Church invites everyone to Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. and worship worship service at 10:45 a.m.

We are to 1)remember the story of the stones, 2) take the history of that story to the children of Israel and 3) understand God’s plan to bring us to where He wants us to be. THEN remember the bigger story of the cross 1)remember that because of the Cross we have been set free, 2)the history of the Cross is the act of salvation from bondage of sin, and 3)understand that all situations, good and bad, are part of God’s plan to lead us to what He wants of us.

House fires are the number-one disaster threat to homeowners. Be-tween 350,000 and 400,000 house fires occur each year in the United States. Unlike natural disasters such as tornadoes and floods, house fires are often preventable.

Observe National Fire Prevention Week this year by taking these fire-prevention steps to help keep your home and your family safe.

Avoid the sun. Flammable products such as paint thinner and lacquer can be ignited by heat sources around your home—even by sunlight streaming through a window. Always keep flammable products in a cool, dark place and in their original containers.

Control candles. Keep lit candles away from materials that could easily catch fire, such as curtains. Never light candles when you’re feeling drowsy—accidentally falling asleep plays a role in 12 percent of all candle fires. Opt for battery-operated candles if you want a little bedtime glow.

Enjoy your fireplace safely. The National Fire Protection Associa-tion recommends making sure your fireplace has a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from flying into the room. Also, allow fireplace and wood/pellet/coal stove ashes to cool before disposing in a metal con-tainer.

Keep your stove company. Never leave the kitchen when you have food cooking on the stove. If you must leave the kitchen for any rea-son, remove the pan from the heat and turn the burner off.

Care for your cords. Electrical cords can produce heat, so make sure they have room to “breathe.” Never trap them tightly between a piece of furniture and the wall or run them under a rug. Check the condition of cords regularly. Frayed wires or those damaged by pets are poten-tial fire starters.

New MDC conservation agent - Don Clever

Starting in September, Don Clever will begin his duties as Missouri Department of Conser-vation (MDC) conservation agent for Monroe County. He is among the 2012 graduating class of new agents and will join Monroe Coun-ty Conservation Agent Alan Lamb.

Originally from Pleasant Hill, Clever is an Eagle Scout and earned his FFA American degree. He graduated in 2011 from the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg with a bachelor’s de-gree in Biology and Conservation Enforcement.

He worked for MDC since March 2011 as a resource assistant for the Wildlife Division at James A. Reed Memorial Wildlife Area near Kan-sas City until being accepted into

the 2012 agent class in March.“As an avid sportsman, I feel

there is much to offer in the north-east region of Missouri,” says Clever. “One of the things I plan to achieve is to share the resources of MDC with the youth of the com-munity. I look forward to working with the citizens of Monroe Coun-ty.”

He adds, with fall hunting sea-sons approaching, it is a good time to register a new hunter for a hunt-er-education class.

To find upcoming hunter-educa-tion classes and other information, visit MDC online at www.mdc.mo.gov.

Clever can be reached at (573) 822-5521 or Don.Clever@mdc.mo.gov.

The Paris Coyotes ran into a buzz saw last Friday night when they traveled to state ranked Westran to take on the #8 ranked Hornets on their home turf. The Coyotes fell 61-0 in a game marked by big plays unfortunately for the visitors they were all on the green side of the football.

A highlight for the Coyotes was the play of their special teams that held the Westran return game in check.

Another big plus was the defen-sive tackle numbers as Slater Stone led the defensive charge with dou-ble digit takedowns for the contest with 11. Kole Berry also added double-digit tackles with 10. Law-rence Parrott added six tackles and Shawn Umstattd added five more tackles.

Offensively the Coyotes just couldn’t get started against the speedy Westran Hornet defense. Steven Hayhurst completed a sin-gle pass to Laine Forrest and ran the ball nine times for a loss of 26 yards. Slater Stone was the only

runner in positive yardage rushing 10 times for 19 yards.

Overall, Stone has gained 169 yards in five games while Hay-hurst has rushed for a team high 238 yards. Receiving Stone leads the team with 153 yards.

Defensively, Justin Wolfe has two fumble recoveries and Laine Forrest leads the team with two interceptions. Stone leads the team in tackles with 47 and Kole Berry is close behind with 40.

“We played hard, but we were over powered by a superior team in every aspect of the game,” said Coach Gary Crusha. “We have to just have to put this game behind us and work hard to prepare for Fayette this week.”

StatisticsPassing: Steven Hayhurst 1 com-

pletion in 11 attempts for 2 yards.Receiving: Laine Forrest 1 recep-

The Paris Lady Coyotes (11-6) hosted Marceline on Thursday, Sept. 20. The Lady Coyotes played good defense but did not get that big hit when runners were on base and fell 3-0.

Good defense by Haley Fredrick on a foul pop; a Sydnee Playter to Sirena Bell double play – Playter grabbed a pop fly and fired to Bell at third for the double play; Josey Ball ran a long way to pull down a fly ball; Kayla Langerud struck out the side in the fourth inning; and then struck out two in the sixth to

stymie a rally saved the Lady Coy-otes from big Marceline innings.

The Lady Coyotes were close in the six inning with a walk to Langerud and a single by Bell but two fielder’s choice plays at the plate ended the Lady Coyote rally.

The Lady Coyotes travel to Knox County on Saturday, Sept. 29 to participate in the Knox County tournament that was rained out Labor Day weekend. Then district play begins Oct. 3. See brackets for both tournament this page.

Angela Purdy K’s 12 versus Keytesville

The Madison Lady Panthers had a split week as they fell to coun-ty rival Paris 5-1 but then beat Keytesville 3-2 in a thriller.

ParisParis plated two runs early in the

first inning and led 2-0 after an in-ning. Paris added a single run ion the second inning and then two more in the third for a 5-0 lead.

Madison tried to rally in the sixth when Angela Purdy led off the in-ning with a liner to the gap for a double. Purdy scored when Krys-tal Sanders ripped an RBI double. The Lady Panthers loaded the bas-es with two walks (Breanna Han-cock, Allie Dunkin) but the Lady Panthers could not score a runner and fell 5-1.

KeytesvilleWith Angela Purdy mowing

down 12 Keytesville batters, in-cluding striking out the side in the second and third innings and an opportune offense the Lady Pan-thers defeated Keytesville 3-2 in a thriller.

Both teams were scoreless go-ing into the third inning when a

two rally helped the Lady Panthers plate two runs. Jessica Stoebe singled advanced to second on a perfectly executed hit and run by Samantha LeGrand setting the ta-ble for an Angela Purdy two RBI double and Madison led 2-0.

Keytesville tied the score in the fourth 2-2 but Madison bounced back with the winning run in the fifth when Jessica Stoebe doubled. Samantha LeGrand sacrificed Stoebe to third, who then scored the winning run on an RBI sacri-fice by Angela Purdy to the right side.

Purdy pitched herself out of a jam in the sixth inning when Keytes-ville had a runner on base but Pur-dy K’d the second out and a harm-less fly ball to Hannah Grimsley ended the threat.

Purdy struck out two in the final inning to seal the win.

Allie Dunkin had two hits in the game and Krystal Sanders added a single.

Area NEWSThursday, Sept. 27, 2012 13Monroe County Appeal, Paris, Mo. • monroecountyappeal.com

Prospective buyers and bargain hunters can bid on surplus items from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

MoDOT’s surplus items from the Northeast District will be auc-tioned on Saturday, September 29 beginning at 9 a.m., at the Hannibal District Complex located on US 61 South with a pre-auction viewing on Friday, Sept. 28, from 1-4 p.m.

These auctions are a result of the department’s implementation of the Bolder Five-Year Direction, a plan of action that began in 2011 to address Missouri’s severe decline in transportation funding. “The de-partment now operates with fewer employees and facilities, and we don’t need all the equipment and tools we had when we were a larger organization,” said MoDOT Roy Hogsett, general services manager for the Northeast District. “These auctions are part of our tiered ap-proach to sell unneeded equipment and recoup an estimated $44 mil-lion from equipment reductions across the state,” he explained.

MoDOT first redistributed some of its equipment to the remain-ing MoDOT buildings around the state. The department has also of-fered excess equipment to other state agencies and municipalities. The public auction is one of at least ten auctions around the state to sell the remaining supplies and equipment that MoDOT no longer needs.

A list of available items and oth-er auction details can be found at http://wheelerauctions.com/main/Auctions/20120929MoDOT/20120929MoDOT.html

Arrangements are still being made for the additional public auctions around the state. To find out when and where those auc-tions will occur, check http://www.modot.org/ or “like” the Missouri Department of Transportation on Facebook.

A benefit dinner auction will be held for Lewis County resident, Jimmie English, on Oct. 6 at the Monroe City Knights of Colum-bus Hall, 405 S. Main, Monroe City, Mo. Jimmie is a 1979 Canton R-V graduate and is married to Staci, a teacher at Knox County. They re-side in Williamstown. He has four children. He has been employed by JC Automotive Repair for over ten years and was previously em-ployed at Ford Motor Company in Canton. Mr. English suffered an aortic dis-section on Oct. 31, 2011. After go-

ing back to work in Jan. 2012, he began having more health prob-lems that affected his eyes and speech and he suffered with leg pains. He was told it was normal to have these symptoms after sur-gery and they would eventually clear up, but they didn’t. He was referred to the Mayo clinic where he was diagnosed with a rare post surgical syndrome that mimics progressive supranuclear palsy or PSP. He is only the ninth person in the United States to be diag-nosed with this syndrome, which there is no known cure. Experi-mental treatments have been un-

successful. He is no longer able to be employed. He is still receiving treatment at the Mayo Clinic and is hopeful they can develop a way to stop the progression of the syn-drome.The benefit on Oct. 6 is a way to help the English family. A variety of events are planned include a gun raffle, car show, food, home run derby, BBQ pork dinner, auction, softball tourney. An advertisement listing the events is in this edition.Donations for the family can be sent to Jimmie’s mother, Colleen Feldkamp, 511 Clark, Canton, MO 63435.
