Paris High School has 46 new alum-ni following graduation ceremonies Friday night, May 17, for the class of 2013.

Friday night’s event was the 139th graduation for the 146-year old Paris R-II School District, the 50th for the high school building, on Cleveland St., and the first in the newly school’s reno-vated gymnasium.

Following the traditional march-in of the graduates to the band playing the processional Pomp and Circumstance, R-II Superintendent Chris Johnson welcomed her students and thanked the several hundred family members and friends of the class, in attendance, for their support.

PHS guidance counselor Lisa Youse recognized and brought on stage two groups of students: the 27 graduates that participated in the school’s A+ mentoring program, the largest in the curriculum’s history, and the class’ 11 Academic letter recipients. She then named the class’ top 10 students.

Mrs. Youse announced Shelby DeTi-

enne was class valedictorian and Pay-ton Gruber was presented as salutato-rian.

Both girls gave short, moving re-marks, thanking their families, teachers and their classmates for their combined assistance and support over the years.

Miss DeTienne said she was hon-ored to be valedictorian. She told her classmates this was the best time of their lives; they should never be afraid to stand-up above the crowd; dared them to challenge themselves, and twice mentioned hard work.

Miss Gruber addressed the im-portance of leadership. She said they shouldn’t fear to ask for or to offer one another help; recommended that her contemporaries strive for greatness, and appreciate what they have and nev-er forget their memories.

The counselor said the valedictorian will receive $1,000 and $750 goes to the salutatorian courtesy of the Barnett family.

The Madi-son West Mon-roe Fire Protec-tion District is very proud to announce that Larry Jones (Chief) was named Chief of the Year at the Annual FFAM (Fire Fighters Association of Missouri) Con-vention held in Carthage, MO May 3-5. FFAM receives nominat ions from all over the state of Missouri for

this honor. The following is the nomination submitted to FFAM.

Chief Larry Jones was in the U.S. Navy from the years of 1969-1971. In 1973 he married Ann Bird of Madison. Together they raised a daughter Renee Wright in the town of Madison. By the year of 1974 he was working for the Missouri State Highway Department and volunteering for the Madison Fire Department. In the year 1978, Larry be-came the Assistant Fire Chief and held that position until 2004. He was also a member of the Madison Lions Club, served on the Madison City Council, Mayor of Madison, on the Local Emergency Planning Committee, and on the 911 board. He is currently chief of 24 firefighters and 4 cadets.

The Madison Fire Department was going through signifi-cant changes during this time. The Departments equipment was updated to meet all necessary standards. A new fire

station was built. The Madison Fire Department evolved into the Madison West Monroe Fire Protection District. The First Responder Program was added and Larry took the necessary steps to become a responder.

Larry became chief of the Madison West Monroe Fire Protection District in 2004. Larry continued the mission of the district to continually improve not only the equipment but also the training of the firefighters. In 2004 Larry added a Cadet Training Program which encouraged youth in our community to become firefighters. In 2002 Larry became active in the Fire Fighters Associate of Missouri. During that same year he also began attending the State Conven-tion. In 2005 he began taking teams from his department to compete. From 2007 to current his teams have repeatedly brought home trophies. In 2010 Larry was proud to have his team bring home the overall trophy.

In 2005 Larry became the Director of District 3. The FFAM Funeral Team was established to which Larry be-came a member shortly after. The Madison West Monroe Fire Protection District currently houses one of the funeral trailers. Also at this time Larry became a member of the 24/63 Commission which is a local emergency planning commission. This planning commission ensures that mutu-al aid is provided harmoniously to adjoining departments. He is also a current member of the Region B Chiefs Asso-ciation.

Larry has been involved in firefighting for a total of 37 years. Through these years he has seen his department grow from a one-room building at City Hall to a professional dis-trict that the community looks to for endless needs.

For the 4th year in a row the Madison West Monroe Fire Protection District also came home with the overall trophy from the annual fire fighters competition. No other depart-ment has ever won this trophy 4 consecutive years. For the first time ever, Madison also sent a team of auxiliary ladies to compete. They placed 3rd overall in the state. Congratu-lations to all.

Lunch program helps feed hungry childrenAs in the past few years, local school

children will receive summer lunches through the generosity of local churches, businesses, community service organiza-tions, and individuals, as well as the sup-port of the local food pantry.

Many families in the Paris and Holli-day communities depend on the school lunch program during the school year. Some of these families may need extra resources in order to provide nutritious meals throughout the summer months.

Many in the Paris community have expressed concern about the financial

hardship this may create for some fami-lies and have committed to provide sack lunches for students whose families in-dicate that they would like to participate.

For the past three years, resources have been sufficient to provide lunches for the entire summer. Nearly fifty chil-dren received lunches, June through August, in 2012. This year’s program is scheduled to run from June 10 through Aug.16.

Sign-up will be available through the Paris and Holliday schools. Parents can also pick up a registration form at the of-

fice of Paris First Baptist Church during normal business hours.

This program is supported through donations. Any individuals, churches, or businesses who would like to help can send a donation to First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 89, Paris, MO 65275. All dona-tions should be labeled “Summer Lunch-es.”

All money donated goes directly to purchase items needed for the lunches. Funds remaining when the program ends will be donated to Christmas Is Caring.

MY TURN ~ by Richard FredrickThe Graduates

Amazing Students… It was my honor and pleasure to be the guest speaker at the Paris R-II Elementary Honors Assembly, on Mon-day, May 20. The assembly recognized both Honor Roll students as well as A Cubed students. The latter must achieve 93 percent on their four core subjects to be eli-gible for A Cubed honors. It was amazing to watch stu-dent after student receive both their honor roll certifi-cate and an A Cubed medal. Each student that is awarded a medal all four quarters re-ceives a treasured A Cubed t-shirt. Truly amazing was the fact that 11 6th graders had been A Cubed recipients for every quarter since six grade.

Discussed at the assembly was the support staff that the students can use to help them be successful. The teachers

and school staff were com-pared to the manager and coaches of a baseball team.

It was noted that no ma-ter how great Ted Williams, baseball’s last .400 hitter was, he still failed in six out of ten trips to the plate.

“No matter how many times you feel you have not lived up to your expecta-tions, pick yourself up and go on.”

Students were encour-aged to use the manager and coaches (teachers and staff) they have there in school just as baseball players use their coaches to help make them better and more productive players.

If you have any question about the quality of our stu-dents look no further than the pages of this newspaper this week and next. Listed by local school including Paris, Madison, Holliday and Mid-dle Grove are the 2012-2013 student school awards. There are reading awards, citizen-

I had the pleasure once again of attending a local high school graduation. The kids seemed so well behaved and focused this year. Emo-tion was visible in every talk and action of the graduates. They appeared to actually care about each other and to be sad at the prospect of no longer being together on a regular basis. In watching these kids I wondered who the critics of this generation were talking about when they called the millennials, those born between 1980 and 2000, the most selfish generation ever. Joel Stein in a recent “Time” article tried to make the case for these younger Americans being lazy, en-titled and shallow, I suppose all 80 million of them. Over protective boomer parents and the “self esteem move-ment” in which kids can do no wrong are cited. In their “Facebook” world, 70 percent of teens and young 20’s check their phones hourly, taking pictures and seeking approval constantly.

But wait, is this not the new version of the same crit-icism of the younger genera-tions that has been around for most of this century?

Young people are always narcissists until they age a lit-tle and get over themselves. It is part of growing up. And the hopefulness and positive version we always hear at graduations is heartfelt and sincere rather than selfish or self-centered.

And the legacy of the pri-or generations of us is noth-ing to brag about or for our kids and grandkids to look forward to either. We have added trillions to the nation-al debt and have a damaged economy. Most young people entering the job market to-day face the prospect of not being as well off as their par-ents. And with the memory of 9-11 and recent terrorist attacks on our own soil, there is the shadow of dangers we older Americans didn’t have to confront. We all can worry about the changes technol-ogy has and will make in our

culture and way of life.The kids I know and saw

on Friday evening are not selfish or self-centered but caring and respectful of each other, of their school and teachers and will be devoid of any illusions about the world they must live in far sooner than any of us got over our-selves. We do wish them suc-cess and God speed and can let them know we have their backs whatever they do and wherever they go. RJF

ship awards, spelling awards, sports awards, academic awards, science awards, li-brary awards - you name it, there is an award. All these won or achieved by the stu-dents of Monroe County schools. It’s no wonder that every school in the county has been designated by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as a School of Distinction! Teachers enjoy your summer - you earned it!

Have a great week...

FCS Financial awards 4-H grant to upgrade 4-H Building

7th Year Of Digging At Twain Site

Monroe County Historical Society to meet May 27

FCS Financial awarded the Monroe County 4-H program with a $250 grant. The Shaping Rural Missouri grants were available to 4-H clubs and FFA chapters who planned to complete a community improvement project by the end of the year. The Monroe County 4-H program plans to update the 4-H Building at the Monroe County Fairgrounds with their grant funds.

This is the second year FCS Financial has funded the Shaping Rural Missouri grants for 4-H clubs and FFA chapters. “Community development in rural Mis-

souri is very important to FCS Financial. Our member-owners and staff live in ru-ral communities across Missouri,” said Kevin Langford, Interim CEO, FCS Fi-nancial. “These grants not only strength-en our rural communities but allow our youth to work as a team to accomplish a worthy goal.”

The group’s project was selected by a panel of judges based on the benefit to the rural area and youth organization. To learn more about the Shaping Rural Missouri Grant program or FCS Finan-cial, visit www.myfcsfinancial.com.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED. This will be the 7th year of digging on Mark Twain’s Uncle John Quarles’ site north of Florida. The purpose of the dig is to recover the artifacts associated with the Quarles’ house and the smoke house before the structures are rebuilt. The south one-half of the dog-trot log house has been reconstructed and plans are to complete the inside and fireplaces this year. Efforts are being made to obtain funds to complete the north pen of this structure and the smoke house.

Volunteers are needed to help excavate Tuesday, May 28 through Saturday, June

1, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. All equipment and supplies will be furnished. Volun-teers should meet at 8 a.m. each day at the red/white metal building located west of Highway 107 about two miles south of Highway 24 and just north of Grandma’s Country Music. They should bring lunch and water, and wear appro-priate clothing. Children over 10 years old may volunteer if accompanied by an adult (one child - one adult, two children - two adults). No smoking allowed on the site. For more information contact 573-735-2784.

Monroe County His-torical Society is excited to announce that their May meeting will feature a program to be presented by Bill Hart, President of MoBARN Alliance and Field Representative for Missouri Preservation, which will deal with Doc-umenting Your Historic Farmstead. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m., on Monday, May 27, at the Roegge Room of Dulany Library in Paris, and is open to the public.

The Missouri Barn Al-liance and Rural Network (Mo BARN) was incorpo-rated in 2010 with its chief mission to support the preservation and docu-mentation of Missouri’s rich rural heritage. Results released in 2008 from the US Census of Agriculture revealed that Missouri had one of the largest number of historic barns reported in the country - about 35,000. It is esti-mated that in the next fifty years we will lose 80% of these. Given that alarming number, Mo BARN has partnered with the State Historic Preservation Of-fice (SHPO) to perform a survey of our historic Mis-souri farmsteads so that as many as possible can be documented before they are gone. Hart explains that contributing to the statewide survey is pretty easy to do and it’s a fun way to be educated about your own farm and de-scribing its historic build-ings. We all appreciate the picturesque qualities of our historic barns, but results of the survey will provide us with more than pretty pictures.

Indeed, having a com-prehensive survey of farm buildings will reveal infor-mation that will tell us so much about the practice of farming in Missouri throughout history. Of-tentimes the mere shape and form of farm build-ings tell us much about their historical uses. For example, a barn with particularly tall sidewalls with vertical siding hav-ing removable panels is almost surely a tobacco barn – its removable slats providing aeration for the drying of hanging tobacco leaves. A number of venti-lators in the top of a barn

would probably indicate that it was used for hous-ing animals, which need adequate air supply and ventilation. If a small one-story room has been add-ed at the corner or a side of the barn with the ven-tilators, it was probably a dairy barn, its small ad-dition serving as a milk-ing room. By studying the changes in the types and forms of agricultural buildings as we move across the state, we can ascertain what parts of the state might have produced more tobacco or corn, more livestock or poul-try. In the central Mis-souri counties of Osage and Gasconade, there is a ubiquitous one-story ag-ricultural building with

low-pitched roof, venti-lators, and many small windows. As it turns out, turkey farming was once a major focus of farming in that area.

Interested in learning more about the project and participating in Mis-souri’s statewide archi-tectural survey of barns and farmsteads? There are clear instructions and downloadable forms on the SHPO’s website at http://www.dnr.mo.gov/shpo/archisur vey.htm and Hart will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Direct any questions to Hart at the May 27 meeting, or via email at [email protected] or call Hart at 314-691-1941.

The Village of Holli-day held a board meet-ing on Saturday, May 18.

Reelected board members John Ragsdale and Guy Callison were sworn in by board chair-man Mike Dawson.

Concerned citizen Don Williams spoke to the board members about the crime prob-lems in Holliday and what can possibly be done to put an end to this. The school has been broken into and street-lights have been put out among some of the things. He has offered support in helping with the problems.

Larry Jones, from the Madison West Monroe FDP, was in attendance

and talked to the board members concerning putting a fire station in Holliday. They would furnish the truck if the town furnished the building. Also it would lower insurance costs. All of this will be dis-cussed at a later date and more information will be available then.

There will be a bike-a thon on Saturday, June 1, in Holliday, to support cancer awareness and the village made a dona-tion to help with this.

It was reported that some streets need gravel repair and this will be taken care of soon.

The report was re-spectfully submitted by Clerk Sandy Callison.

Following the admis-sion of Governor Jay Nixon’s office that his of-ficials at the Department of Revenue had sent data on concealed carry hold-ers to Obama officials in the federal government, the Missouri House and Senate passed SB 75. The bill gives each Sheriff in every county the duty to handle conceal and carry permits.

“This is an important change in the CCW pro-cess that Senator Dan Brown and I have worked on with the goal of pre-venting the state revenue department from ever again sharing the person-al information of permit holders with the federal government,” said State Representative Eric Burli-son (R-Springfield). “This is a common sense change that empowers our sher-iffs to not only issue a certificate of qualification for a permit, but to actu-ally take sole responsibil-ity for the process by is-suing permits. It’s a move that will give the people of Missouri confidence that the process will not vio-late their rights.”

State Senator Kurt Schaefer (R - Columbia), who helped lead in this fight, stated, “SB 75 is an important piece of legisla-tion that will streamline the conceal carry process, while removing unneces-sary bureaucracy from the process by allowing Mis-souri’s sheriff department to handle the permits. This process is ideal to ensuring each individual’s privacy is protected.”

Thanks to the leader-ship of the House and Sen-ate, SB 75 strikes a good balance in both reforming and respecting the cur-rent protections that the current process helped ensure. This is why the $100 application fee will remain the same, and per-mits will be good for five years. To enhance current safeguards, SB 75 also adds an additional back-ground check through the

National Instant Criminal Background Check Sys-tem (NICS), which is seen as the most comprehen-sive background check available. By using NICS, Missouri will continue to be a leader nationally in Mental Health Record Submission.

“SB 75 was a bill that was filed one day before the Sandy Hook tragedy because of my concern for what I believe to be an epidemic of active shoot-ers in our schools. Un-fortunately, we had to ex-pand the scope of the bill to remove the issuing of concealed carry weapons permits from the Depart-ment of Revenue because of the lack of respect for the most basic privacy expectations Missourians deserve. My hope would be that this bill will en-courage school districts to create active shooting training programs so that teachers will know how to save lives in the event of such a tragedy, prevent accidental gun deaths through education, and protect Missourians from having their personal in-formation shared by the Department of Revenue,” said State Senator Dan Brown (R-Rolla).

If signed into law by Governor Jay Nixon, the duty of issuing concealed carry permits will be transferred to each indi-vidual Sheriff department by Dec. 31. The Depart-ment of Revenue will be-gin the transition process on Aug. 28, to ensure a seamless transition.

“With the governor’s signature, this bill will make the process of ob-taining a CCW permit far less burdensome and far more secure,” said Burlison. “I thank my colleagues for giving such strong support to this change and Senator Brown for working with me throughout the ses-sion to move this change through the process and into law.”

Santa Fe Christian Church VBSSanta Fe Christian Church in Santa Fe, will hold

it’s 2013 VBS May 27-31, each evening from 6-8 p.m. “Let Me Be A Witness” is our theme this year. On the 31st there will be a weiner roast beginning at 7:30 p.m., for all children and their families and this will kick off our “Movie on the Pad” at dusk with a family movie.

“I love the LORD, be-cause He hath heard my voice and my supplica-tion.” – Psalm 116:1

Greetings from Faith-Walk Ministries – Bishop Harold G. Long, Pastor

Morning worship ser-vice began at 10:30am

“Shifting The Atmo-sphere” – sung by Faith-Walk Choir

Opening Prayer led by Elder Helen Fugate

Scripture read by Bro. Thompson – Acts 11:14-18

“Speak” – sung by FaithWalk Choir

Offering (Seed Plant-ing) was directed by Minister Ballenger. Our Vision and Mission Statements were read in unison, declaring that FaithWalk Ministry’s con-stant goal is the work of, “Building and Sustaining Strong Communities by Breaking the Cycle of Ad-dictive Failures.”

“Praise Him” – sung by Bishop Long and Faith-Walk Choir

Bishop Long’s message was entitled, “Satisfying The Hidden Cravings”

Cravings are desires put in us by God. Crav-ings aren’t bad if they are directed toward the right thing. Wrong cravings form compulsive behav-

iors that are destructive (like buying, eating…).

II Peter 1:2-4God gives us ALL

things (we need and de-sire).

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11God put eternity into

our hearts to desire and seek Him.

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8The word ‘time’ is used

28 times in these verses. “20” means expectancy and “8” means a new be-ginning. We have expec-tancy (cravings/desires) from one time to another time, “under the sun”- in the earth realm.

Ecclesiastes 2:8-26Solomon’s cravings

were wrong because they were not God focused. He lived good but he was an-gry and spiritually empty. His soul (joy and peace) was shortchanged.

Psalm 16:11Keep your need for

craving, but switch what and/or whom you crave. All you need and desire is in God…crave Him.

Everyone is welcome to come and worship with us: Tuesday at 7 p.m, Wed. - Men and Women Support groups at 6 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. God bless you!

The title of Pastor Ken-ny’s sermon today was “Choices.” Scripture was taken from Daniel 3:30 and 6:28. Today’s message was focused on our youth. Children need to listen to God, not the world. Each child is beautiful and should be who they are in Christ, not what someone else wants them to be. The world says to do things their way, and only loves them when they are going their direction. God loves them ALL the time, even when they mess up.

Tootsie Peak’s chil-dren’s message was about sharing with others, being compassionate, and un-derstanding. Even when we have a bad day, we need to see the real bless-ings God has placed be-fore us and to reach out to others, get to know them, and share Christ with them.

Prayers for Keith Deav-er, Susan Duncan, Paris school district, Jo Reyn-olds friend Danny, Jes-sica Chase, Dallas Baker, Tootsie Peaks sister, Jor-dan Davis, Bonnie Suds-berry, Penny Westfall, Louise Hurley, Patty Ken-drick, Beverly Wandry, those leading and partici-pating in VBS, children and adults involved in M-FUGE mission trip.

Reverend Wesley Hammond’s sermon title was “Faith or Fear” from Mark 4:35-41. In verse 40, Jesus says, “Do you still have no faith?” In the midst of their fears about the storm, the disciples went to awaken Jesus who had fallen asleep. Jesus does not promise us calm-ness in our surroundings nor does he worry about circumstances the way we do. If we live by faith op-portunities will open to us, but if we worry about trouble around us we may never accomplish what Jesus has for us. We must trust God even though our normal thinking causes us to fear. Jesus is always there to calm the storm and see us through even if we should perish.

•• DID YOU KNOW? ••Show Me Why We Need Common Core...

In 2009 Common Core State Standards were established for English Lan-guage Arts and Mathematics in all U.S. Schools with History and Science to follow at some point in the future. As an enticement the Fed’s offered waivers for No Child Left Behind and the chance to compete for additional Race to the Top grants. The Federal Government also implied that Federal Title I Funds would be withheld to coerce the adoption of these standards. Stimulus funding would be the source for Race to the Top grant. Missouri did not receive any of the stimulus money but was eligible for a waiver for Race to The Top. It was a no brainer for the state to sign onto Common Core. They would be rewarded by receiving waivers to get out of the rigid requirements and accountability of No Child Left Behind. It is no wonder Common Core has been adapted in 46 States and the District of Columbia. As details of Common Core come to light at least four states have begun the process of backing out, with the prospect of more to follow. There are concerns from local districts about the costs that the State has now obligated the local taxpayers to fund, without local input.

Who is responsible for writing and the initiation of these standards? The United Nations Initiative,” Education First” can be traced back many years with similar goals as Common Core. Three independent trade organizations and funds from the Gates Foundation more than 100 million dollars started the ball rolling to establish this National Curriculum.

Senate Bill 210 was recently discussed to require Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to have a district meeting in each congressional dis-trict in the state. DESE would be required to give cost estimates and to answer questions from parents and taxpayers at these meetings.

Nationalized Education is contrary to American Ideals and our U. S. Con-stitution and states rights. A move to Common Core is the first step in govern-ment control over the educational process and they will have purchased it for a mere 6% contribution to the total School budget. School boards will be rel-egated to approval of a budget without authority over the content and manner of teaching our children.

For the first time in school history, the vale-dictorian and salutatorian took turns introducing their fellow classmates for diploma presentations; one-by-one their fellow students came across the stage and handed diplo-mas by school board pres-ident Glenda Miller, who was appropriately attired in a Coyote-blue dress. School board member Dick Fredrick substituted for Ms. Miller and handed his granddaughter, Haley Fredrick, her diploma, and fellow board member Erin Gruber did the same for her nephew, Chance Wheelan. Miss DeTienne and Miss Gruber received their diplomas last, each introducing the other, and again Erin Gruber substi-tuted for Ms. Miller and presented daughter Pay-ton with her diploma.

After receiving their diplomas, the new grads roamed throughout the gym presenting flowers to family members. They reassembled, and after principal John Wiggans presented the class to the school board, seated on the stage, as official gradu-ates, and following a choir presentation, the new al-ums 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 ceremo-ny concluded as the class marched out of the gym to the traditional recessional Pomp and Circumstance music while receiving a standing ovation.

General CRP signup now in effectOver the past 27 years,

the federal Conserva-tion Reserve Program (CRP) under the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) has created millions of acres of upland and wetland habitat for quail, pheasants, ducks, deer, turkeys and a wide array of nongame wildlife by offering payments to farmers for taking highly erodible farmland out of production. Efforts con-tinue with the USDA’s recent announcement of a General CRP (GCRP) signup May 20 – June 14.

USDA also announced the restart of sign-up for the Continuous CRP (CCRP) on May 13. Landowners once again have the opportunity to enroll crop field borders or whole fields in wild-life friendly vegetation. CCRP is offered on a con-tinuous, non-competitive sign-up basis.

Landowners enrolled in GCRP and CCRP re-

ceive annual payments and cost-share assistance to establish long-term, resource-conserving cov-ers on eligible farmland. According to the FSA website, “CRP is a volun-tary program that helps agricultural producers use environmentally sensitive land for conservation ben-efits. Producers enrolled in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving cov-ers to control soil erosion, improve water and air quality and develop wild-life habitat. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 to 15 years.”

Additionally, in re-sponse to the continued loss of CRP acres and the important wildlife habitat it provides in Missouri, the Missouri Department of Conservation is con-tinuing the MDC CRP In-centive Program in select CRP priority areas. MDC is offering landowners a one-time incentive pay-ment of $100-$150 per acre for enrolling in the wildlife friendly CP33-Habitat Buffers for Up-land Birds, CP38 – SAFE, or CP42-Pollinator Habi-tat practices.

The MDC CRP Incen-tive is available in the fol-lowing counties: Adair, Andrew, Atchison, Bates, Bollinger, Buchanan,

Butler, Caldwell, Cape Girardeau, Cass, Carroll, Chariton, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Dade, Daviess, DeKalb, Dunklin, Frank-lin, Gasconade, Gentry, Grundy, Harrison, Holt, Knox, Jackson, John-son, Lafayette, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Linn, Liv-ingston, Macon, Maries, Mercer, Mississippi, Mon-roe, Moniteau, Morgan, New Madrid, Osage, Nodaway, Pemiscot, Per-ry, Pike, Platte, Putnam, Randolph, Ray, Ripley, St. Charles, St. Genevieve, Schuyler, Scotland, Scott, Shelby, Stoddard, Sulli-van, Vernon, Warren, and Worth.

Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) staff can help farmers and other eligible landowners determine program eligi-bility, options, and seed-ing mixes to help sustain healthy forests, fish and wildlife. Visit www.mdc.mo.gov to find local MDC Private Land Conserva-tionists under “Who’s My Local Contact.”

For more informa-tion on the CRP general signup and other conser-vation programs, contact the local USDA Service Center and speak with an FSA representative or MDC Private Land Con-servationist. Visit the FSA website at www.fsa.usda.gov/crp for program de-tails.

Blake Hultz, recent graduate of Madison C-3 High School was presented the Annual Bryan Wandrey Scholarship at the Madi-son High School Gradua-tion and Awards Ceremony Sunday afternoon. Blake was chosen by this year’s Scholarship Committee, Roy Martel and Paulette Martel of Madison and Connie Robertson of Co-lumbus Junction from eight applications submitted for review. Blake’s academic accomplishment, desire and positive attitude as set out in his application along with his participation in the A+Tutoring, FFA, Baseball and Basketball programs and leadership abilities as-sisted in their decision for the 2013 recipient.

The Memorial Scholar-ship was presented by Aar-on Wandrey, Madison, first cousin of Bryan Wandrey and member of the Madi-son C-3 School Board. The Bryan Wandrey Memorial Scholarship was established at the time of Bryan’s death to cancer, March 2001 by his baseball teammates , friends and family and maintained the first 5 years

by his teammates. The scholarship has since been sponsored by his family. Bryan was 1988 Salutatori-an of Madison C-3 School and 1992 graduate of Northwest Missouri State College of Maryville, Mo . He played baseball for both and went on to play Semi-pro baseball with Kansas and Oklahoma teams. He later was responsible for American Legion and high school teams in Paris, II where he resided with his family until his death. He had a passion for helping young people. Bryan was the son of Larry and Bev-erly Wandrey, of Madison.

The name of Blake Hultz has been added and en-graved on the Bryan Wan-drey Memorial Scholarship Plaque that is located at the Madison gymnasium along the other recipients of the annual award.

Blake Hultz is the son of Cindy and Alan Hultz of Madison. He plans to major in Business Admin-istration at Moberly Area Community College and transfer to a four year col-lege following his comple-tion there.

PHS graduate Jerod Ray, a home town celebrity Jerod Ray is currently

a contestant on the televi-sion show “Best Ink” and is something of a local celebrity; but the unas-suming, PHS graduate is basically just a small town guy.

“Small towns are like big families,” said Ray, who moved with his fam-ily to Paris in seventh grade. “The newness of a city wears off in a few weeks but small towns have that familiar feeling, like your family.”

Ray, son of Jack and Linda Ray, knows some-thing about family, as he is one of eight brothers.

“I am in the middle and the oldest of the second generation,” explained Ray. “It was definitely an interesting dynamic – I had brothers who had al-ready made all the little mistakes and were out of the house but also had brothers who looked up to me.”

Ray joined the Navy af-ter graduating from Paris High School in 1998.

“The Navy is where I started noticing tattoos,” said Ray. “But at that time I was burned out on being an artist. I didn’t want to do anything related with art to be my job.

“Fine art is slow – you have to have discipline to sit down and create some-thing,” explained Ray. “I didn’t have that patience when I was young.”

However, it was in the Navy that Ray began his slow march towards what is now his career – tattoo-ing. He began by drawing designs for other sailors to take to tattoo parlors. His designs were very popular and he was soon doing up to 20 drawings a week. Upon seeing his work – both good and bad on skin he started

referring sailors to spe-cific artists, at a specific shop, in Chicago, whom he thought did good work.

“I didn’t take it seri-ously when they contacted me and wanted to talk to me. I couldn’t believe that this was a real profession,” said Ray about the tattoo shop. “I got around it and saw that people were mak-ing a living there and that some had been doing it for 30 plus years.”

Ray noted that it was the first non-deadline, non-team oriented art job that he ever found that you could make money off and do for a long time - independently by your-self.

“I got a taste for tat-tooing there,” said Ray. “I learned as much as I could from talking to those guys but thought I could do better by myself, so started practicing on my friends and thought I could teach myself. Ray noted that he took a couple years off af-ter being discouraged but during that time still drew in his favorite medium – charcoals.

I kept involved artis-tically and then I tried it again – I more or less knew what I was doing –

tattooing was outlines and shading and coloring – I am a fine artist, explained Ray. Fine art is light lights; dark darks; a lot of move-ment; and you can see the process in the work. I had the know how to be able to do tattoos but did not know how to do art on skin. It was good enough for everyone that wanted a tattoo from me but it wasn’t good enough for me.

Ray also explained that with all his breaks he only had actually six years of experience.

I didn’t know if my type of artwork was even possible on skin. I made the decision if I couldn’t translate my art form from paper exactly to skin I was not going to do it at all – it was ultimatum time.

Ray talked to artists do-ing work that was pretty close to what he wanted – doing what they wanted from canvas to skin.

“I needed more guid-ance from fine artists that were doing tattoos than from tattooers,” said Ray. “When I found that then things really started click-ing and I went to work in Jefferson City – three years ago.”

Ray is now in Mexico, at a shop but opening the upstairs of a building as his own shop - The Majes-tic Moose, a tattoo haber-dashery.

Ray was quick to praise his high school art teach-er Chanda Huffman as a guiding force in his artis-tic life.

“She is the reason I stuck with art even through high school,” said Ray. “She made sure I was progressing even though I was a stubborn kid; she was the reason I was as good as I was coming out of high school.”

“My independent streak works for tattooing – it is almost a necessity,” Ray noted. “Mrs. Huffman saw that streak in me and suggested tattooing even before I did.”

Ray can be found on television every Wednes-day night, on Oxygen (Charter channel 61), par-ticipating in “Best Ink”, a weekly reality show based on tattoos. Each week the contestants face challeng-

es and are critiqued by the judges with the end result seeing one contestant be-ing sent home. Ray is still a viable contestant on the show. His “small town” friends are all cheering him on!

The vast expanse of recreational lands located just to the east of Paris and south of Monroe City is known as Mark Twain Lake.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains the approximately 55,000 acres at Clarence Cannon Dam and Mark Twain Lake. Many recreational opportunities await you on this huge land and water project that spans the Salt River Valley in Northeast Missouri.

The construction of the Clarence Cannon Dam on the Salt River in Ralls County in 1984 formed the lake, which is locat-ed in Ralls and Monroe Counties, 28 miles south-west of Hannibal and 120 miles northwest of St. Louis.

At normal levels, Mark Twain Lake encompasses 18,600 acres of water and 285 miles of shoreline. The lake provides good fishing opportunities for large and small mouth bass, crappie and catfish, as well as some white bass, walleye and bluegill.

The carefully protected ecosystem boasts nearly 45,000 of land and wa-

55,000 Acres of Fun!ter available for hunting. Hunters can choose from dove, quail, squirrel, deer, wild turkey, rabbits and waterfowl.

Northern Missouri’s largest lake also offers skiing, camping, hiking, mountain biking and oth-er water sport opportuni-ties.

In recent years, and even at this date, a battle is ongoing to attempt to separate the area from the corps of engineers.

Rich in history and home to Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) there are many local attractions to choose from, including historic Florida, Monroe City, Perry and Paris.

Mark Twain State ParkMark Twain State Park

was established in the 1920s through the efforts of the Mark Twain Me-morial Park Association. It was created in honor of the famous Missouri au-thor and humorist Samuel L. Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, who was born in the nearby village of Florida, Mo. The asso-ciation raised over $10,000 to purchase 100 acres of land overlooking the Salt River. Twain’s sole surviv-

ing daughter, Mrs. Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, gave singing concerts to benefit the memorial ef-fort. With additional land purchased by the state, Mark Twain State Park was established in 1924. It is the third oldest state park in Missouri and the first established north of the Missouri River.

The park is located in the Salt River Hills of northeast Missouri. Re-ceiving its name from the numerous salt springs or licks in the area, the Salt River carved its way into the land, exposing tower-ing limestone bluffs. The river and its tributaries created a landscape that is more hilly and rugged than the surrounding lev-el terrain.

The topography of the area and some of its flora are similar to the Ozark region found much fur-ther south. A diverse set of plant species in the park range from prairie types, such as orange puccoon, lead plant and purple prairie clover, to upland forest species, including black oak, blackjack oak and blue ash.

Two public boat ramps

with paved parking lots are located in the park for the convenience of visitors with boats. Fish-ing enthusiasts can cast their lines in Mark Twain Lake, searching for blue gill, crappie, catfish, large-mouth bass, carp, walleye and perch. The lake has many quiet coves where anglers can spend peace-ful days fishing. For park visitors seeking sun and fun, a public beach offers a safe swimming area along with a change house.

Buzzard’s Roost pic-nic area provides a shad-ed setting for a relaxing

lunch or family fun. Two reservable shelter houses and a playground are available for park visitors. For the hiker wanting to see more of the park, trails meander between Buzzard’s Roost and the campground. Hiking here affords numerous oppor-tunities to view woodland wildlife and plant life, as well as scenic views of Mark Twain Lake.The Buzzard’s Roost overlook provides a popular view of the lake from a tower-ing limestone bluff.

Also located in the park is Camp Colborn, a

group camp that features a dining lodge, kitchen, sleeping cabins and out-door play court. Camp Colborn is available by reservation only.

Amid the vast array of recreational options, Mark Twain State Park has maintained a peace-ful, serene setting. Be sure to stop and see the Mark Twain Birthplace State Historic Site located ad-jacent to the park. Samuel Clemens’ home is pre-served in the museum, and the site interprets the life and times of this American legend.
