They notified confederates at Mem- phis and when Masius arrived there on the Frisco mail train he was apprehended.

St. Vincent High School’s Team Spirit spent Tuesday afternoon placing Don’t Text and Drive and Buckle Up signs around the community as part of their initiative this year. Pictured with Team Spirit is Spanish teacher and team moderator Jose Robles, as well as Per-ryville Police Chief Keith Tarrillion.
The Perryville Police Department is in the early stages of creating a bul-lying/cyber bullying pro-gram for both Perryville and St. Vincent High Schools.
Though bullying seems to have always been a sta-ple in high school, it has worsened dramatically due to technology, allowing for a student to be harassed not just inside the school, but outside as well.
“Cyberbullying is pres-ent in our schools today, and to say that it isn’t is like living with your head in the sand,” said Per-ryville Police Chief Keith Tarrillion.
“Back when I was growing up, most bullies
could only bully you at school, but now, you can be bullied by these individ-uals 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“These type of activities have led to suicides which is one of the major causes of death of children, ac-cording to the CDC, as well as school violence.”
The bullying project was funded initially by a New Jersey prosecutor’s office with funds seized during their investigations into cyber crimes. The main elements used in the program are two videos, with one that’s rather in-tense, Tarrillion said.
“One film goes over Internet safety and what can happen in the course of your Internet activity,” he said. “The other deals with cyber bullying but
also addresses bullying in general.”
The film would be ac-companied by specific cur-riculum as well.
“[The program] can only be taught at the high school level, as it is a very intense program with real-life situations,” he said.
At this point, both St. Vincent and Perryville ad-ministrators have seen the videos, as well as the Perry County Community Task Force.
“It’s in the early stages at St. Vincent and PHS at this time,” he said. “We are hoping to teach this pro-gram in our local schools … in the future, we plan to offer the program at the police department where parents will be able to at-tend the training with their children.”

Whether or not he takes any key states, presidential candidate Mitt Romney can say he won the PCMS sev-enth grade election held on election day.
Over 204 seventh grad-ers registered to vote, stud-ied the election process and investigated issues that are important to them in prepa-ration for the Nov. 6 Gen-eral Election Day at Perry County Middle School.
That morning, each child had to present their school ID and registration card at the correct polling place to receive a presidential elec-tion ballot. The short form asked students to choose between Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden or Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
When the polls were closed, the election offi-cials (teachers) counted the votes and Romney had won with 82 votes. Obama had 61. Of the 204 eligible vot-ers, 143 or 70 percent, cast a ballot.
“We tried to make this as close to the actual elec-tion process as possible,” said PCMS teacher Karen Bahr. “If the students didn’t
report to the correct polling place or failed to show their registration or ID, they did not get to cast a ballot.”
Those who successfully completed the process were given an official “I Voted” sticker.
Pre-election activities included a survey asking students which issues they considered most important,
who influences their vote and whether most of the people they know are Re-publican or Democrat.
Students compiled and graphed this information, learned about the Electoral College and will continue their lesson by graphing election results and com-paring the school’s results to local, state and national

District 32 to hold veterans assembly, public is invited
Students and staff at Perry County School Dis-trict 32 will honor veterans and military personnel on Friday with several special events. The community is invited to attend two of the Veteran’s Day celebrations.
The day starts off with a breakfast for all veterans at Perryville High School, fol-lowed by the PHS Veteran’s Day Assembly. The break-fast begins at 8 am Friday, Nov. 9 in the PHS Cafeteria. After breakfast, the veterans will be escorted to the PHS gymnasium for the assem-bly. Each veteran will be recognized during the as-sembly.
“Our veterans have served our country well, and we are proud to honor them in this small way,” said PHS Principal Lee Gattis. “Our students look forward to this event each year. They enjoy visiting with our vet-erans and appreciate the op-portunity they have to learn from the men and women who serve our nation.”
All veterans service or-ganizations received invita-tions to the event, and every veteran from Perry County is encouraged to attend.
To ensure that students can recognize all veterans in attendance, please call Janet Tiehes at Perryville High School (573-547-7500, Dial 8+338) by Thursday, Nov. 8 if you plan to attend. (If you’re attending with your veterans organization – The Legion, VFW, AMVETS or Disabled Vets- you don’t have to call.
At Perry County Middle School, students and staff are rolling out the red carpet for veterans with an assem-bly at 12:45 p.m. on Nov. 9, and all veterans, parents and community members are in-vited. The assembly will be held in the PCMS Multipur-pose Building.
“The American Legion will present flags of each branch of service,” said PCMS assistant principal Mark Phillips. “They will tell us about the Armed Forces, too. We have some videos and special presenta-
tions planned to show our great appreciation and re-spect for our veterans.”
At Perryville Elemen-tary School, the district’s youngest children are busy creating signs and cards and writing poems and letters to give to the community’s veterans.
Perryville VFW will at-tend the PES assembly at 2 pm Friday to be honored by students and staff. (This event isn’t open to the pub-lic because of space limita-
tions, but we’ll post lots of photos on the District Web-site for the community to enjoy.)
“We have a wonderful skit that will include stu-dents and the VFW mem-bers,” said PES counselor Patti Gremaud. “Our boys and girls are all looking for-ward to letting our veterans know that we love them and are very thankful for the sacrifices they have made for the people of the United States and our community.”

It’s that time of year again — time for Perry County hunters to take to the woods to nab a deer or two, and, if possible, share some of the meat for a good cause.
The Share the Harvest program, administered by the Conservation Federa-tion of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Conservation, is a means of providing meat to needy families across the state, as well as in our own back-yard.
Many Perry County or-ganizations come together to make Share the Harvest happen effectively every year, and the program has grown in popularity over the years, says Stonie’s Sausage Shop owner Roger Wibbenmeyer. Stonie’s is responsible for processing all the deer meat delivered through the program.
“[The program] started quite a few years ago, but it was very unsuccessful at first,” Wibbenmeyer said. “There was no funding to process the deer meat com-ing in.”
But once Ed Schumer of the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, as well as the Ladies of Charity Food Pantry, took hold of the reigns, funds started flow-ing in from organizations all over the area.
“We started securing do-nations from local organiza-tions, and folks really began donating money,” Wibben-meyer said. “In essence, that started the funding for the project.”
These days, Share the Harvest is thriving, and
many local families in need are benefiting. Last year alone, 2,800 pounds of deer meat was ground and given to the food pantry, which translates to 53 full deer and six partial deer.
“This has always been a worthwhile program,” Wib-benmeyer said. “There are a lot more individuals that are in need than we realize. Red meat is always a huge prior-ity [at the pantry].”
Thus far this year, Ladies of Charity President Donna Semsrott said the deer meat has been coming in steadily, and in the first week, the pantry saw roughly 100-150 pounds of deer sausage and sticks.
“We often do not have meat available [at the pan-try],” Semsrott said. “Folks look forward to deer meat all year. Just being able to give to those in need makes you feel good.”
But, as Wibbenmeyer and Semsrott both stressed, none of this could be possi-ble without several organi-zations that contribute. This year’s donors are the Perry County Sportsmans Club, St. Vincent de Paul Society, the VFW and Perry County Bards and Spurs.
Past donors, from 2009 to 2011, include Perry County Sportsmans Club, Perry County Beards and Spurs, VFW, Knights of Columbus, St. Marys of the Barrens, Zahner & As-sociates, American Legion, QDMA SEMO Branch, Lions Club, the Elks, East Perry County Lions Club and AMVETS.
For those interested in donating to Share the Har-vest, hunters can bring full or partial deer to Stonie’s to be processed.

After weeks of hard work both on-stage and behind the scenes, the Silver Dagger Drama Club is ready for their first performance tonight, and director Jennifer Birk-Cook says it will be one worth seeing.
The Perryville High School Silver Dagger Drama Club will present The Adventures of Tom Sawyer at 7 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-10 at the Performing Arts Auditorium inside the Old Senior High.
“This is my biggest cast,” Birk-Cook said on Tuesday night, as the group gathered for one of their final dress rehearsals. Cast members weaved in and out of half- finished props as everyone was making the final push to get stage ready.
The community is invited to attend the play. Tickets cost $4 and can be purchased at the door.
“This is a great event for families and children,” said director Jennifer Birk-Cook.
“Bring the kids and some pillows, so they can get comfortable and watch Tom whitewashing the fence and the pirate adventure on Jackson’s Island!”
Students in Shadrick Shafer’s drama class have been helping with set construction and decoration. Nick Pohlman is the sound tech, Mariah Adams is the stage manager and the backstage crew includes Hailey Moll, Theresa McClure, Jessica Valleroy, Emily Choka, Shianne Porter and Amber
Franklin. The cast includes
Tristin Dunker as Tom, Matt Choka as Sid, Layne Franklin at Alfred, Alex Wilkerson as Ben, Tristan Pingel as Jim, Harley Taylor as Huck, Shane Metzger as Joe, Danielle Brickey as Amy, Kaitlyn Schloss at Janie, Kaitlyn Chotrow as Gracie, Heather Cook as Susan; Kayla Wolf as Becky, Ellen Booth as Mrs. Harper, Taylor Kassinger as Aunt Polly, Brittany Norfolk as Mrs. Thatcher, Austyn Konarzick as the schoolmaster, Joshua Costello as Muff Potter, Kevin Cowgur as Injun Joe, Zach Sanders as Dr. Robinson, Luke Edwards as the preacher, Michael Buchheit as the Sheriff;

Disclaimer: I tend to find humor in places others don’t always see. It’s just an example of my dysfunction. With that,
there are certain names that make me laugh for one reason or another.
Not that there is anything wrong with the names mentioned in this column — they’re perfectly fine names in most cases. It’s just that, for one reason or another (usually when added to other words or situations), these names get a chuckle out of me.
So, if you happen to have a name that I mention in this week’s column, don’t be offended. Keep an open mind and chuckle along with it, if it brings that emotion. I’m not picking on you. After all, I grew up with the last name Little … I’m no stranger to ridicule, and chances are, my name has been made fun of more than yours!
As I mentioned, certain names cause me to chuckle. Sure, some stand alone in asking to be made fun of (I’ve seriously met a guy named Ethelburt Dinglehorst), but many make me think of related words or situations that, when combined, cause me to giggle, (the name Jack reminds me one of my friends … I have a tendency to yell out “HIJACK!” when we bump into one an-other. I hope I never see him in an airport.)
For the same reason, I’ve always cracked up at the name Gene.
“Hi, Gene” always becomes “Hygiene” in my mind. In fact, I worked with a Gene washing dishes at a truck stop nearly 25 years ago.
One night, he dropped a plate, which shattered all over the floor. I jokingly scolded him with “That’s a BAD Hygiene! BAD HYGIENE, BAD!”
From then on, he became “Bad Hy-giene” to me.
Likewise, the name Eugene makes me giggle. It’s kind of a Tarzan thing. “Me Tarzan. You Gene.”
Oh, and I shouldn’t forget one of my all-time favorite teachers whose first name
Planning the feast and shopping for presents are just two of the objectives when it comes to preparing for Christ-mas — dec-orating is an entirely different monster in and of itself.
While many of you already have your totes and boxes filled with the same treatments you’ve used from year to year, some people like to change things up annu-
ally by getting the newest and latest. Accessorizing a home is quite the task any time of the year, but throw in a Christmas deadline and other frantic shop-pers (looking for the same items), and you can have your hands full.
This week, I took a trip to Alten-burg to visit with Julie Scholl. Her
sister-in-law, Kim Scholl, sent an email nominating Julie as a fantastic cook.
Julie grew up in the Alten-burg area, along with a sister and three brothers. She learned some of her cooking skills from her mom, Evelyn Myer, also known as “Turtle.”
Even more kitchen skills were picked up while cooking with her
grandmother, Norma Mueller. By the time Julie was a second- or third-grader, she had copied her grandmother’s recipes to make her own cookbook.
When Julie’s mom was working at Farm Bureau Insurance, Julie was the one who took care of pre-paring all the meals for the family. She loved cooking for her dad and taking extras to her grandparents, who lived next door.
When Julie was 16, she got a job working at the hospital in the dietary department, where of course, she was cooking in the kitchen.
Some of her favor-ite childhood desserts are Chiffon Cake, Blatz Kuchen and Chocolate Chip Cookies. Julie en-joyed making pies of all kinds for her dad.
Julie graduated from Southeast Missouri and married in 1980. Julie and her husband, Glen “Herb,” have a daughter, Amy, and a son, Patrick. Julie started teaching in Warrensburg, Mo., and taught there for about three years.
The family then moved to O’Fallon, Mo., where Julie taught special educa-tion at Francis Howell Elementary. Julie has since retired and moved back to the Altenburg area. She still misses all the chil-dren she taught. Julie also taught in Warrenton for six years.
Still driven to educate, Julie works part-time for Southeast Missouri State in the bookstore, checking out books for the

BILLLITTLETALES OF LIFE
Cold and flu season is right around the corner. Here are a few natural preventative tips that can lower your chances of get-ting sick.
Eat real food. A diet rich in fresh and cooked vegetables, healthy fats (like salmon and coco-nut oil) and a variety of wholesome proteins can go a long way towards staying healthy. Increase your intake of the immune-boosting foods such as raw garlic, ginger, lemons, honey, seeds, nuts, onions, mushrooms and yogurt (make sure it has Lactoba-cillus reuteri).
Take a nice, hot bath with Epsom salt, lavender oil or chamomile tea bags right before bed to prepare your mind and body for a good night’s sleep.

was Amos. Of course, that moniker was just too close to a rather funny body part’s name. For some reason, he didn’t see the humor in the comparison.
Then there’s the name Chad, which was never funny until the 2000 presi-dential election, when the news kept talking about Florida’s hanging Chad. That caused me to think of the Chads I knew, swinging from a noose. A bit morbid, I guess, but I don’t control these thoughts.
Some names wouldn’t be funny at all, aside from the fact they are also slang
for other things. Dick is the short version of Richard, but becomes a prime ex-ample, for obvious reasons.
The poor guys with the name John have to go through life being associ-ated with the restroom (“I gotta go to the John”), and if your name is Ralph, you probably heard every vomit joke in the book by the time you were 10.
Of course, it’s not just people’s names that get a laugh out of me. Other proper nouns do it, too. My entire life, I’ve not been able to hear the name of the planet Uranus without giggling out loud. That one is self-explanatory.
Pluto gets a smile, but only because of Mickey
Mouse’s dog. And, speak-ing of dogs, the Shih Tzu probably gets teased by all the neighborhood dogs.
Finally, company names can be pretty funny from time to time. There is a manufacturer of chroma-tography plates in Newark, Del., named “Analtech.” (They were going for “Ana-lytical Technology.”)
Then there’s an ad agency in Seattle named “Wong, Doody, Crandall & Wiener,” which seems an unfortunate mixture of partners.
Racing fans will rec-ognize “Hooker Headers,” and a Turkish baby diaper named “Pedo,” which is actually pronounced PEE-DOO. I guess that pretty
much covers what they’re for.
And, while all of these are kind of humorous, how would you like to be an employee of one of these companies and answer the question, “Where do you work?”
So, if you’re ever talking to me, and I smile or laugh for no apparent reason, just think back on the words within the conversation. Chances are, you’ll come across something. More than likely, it’ll be pretty childish, but don’t be sur-prised: I refuse to grow up.

functions best when your body has time to repair and re-energize. Aim for eight hours a night.
Stay active. Physical activity helps your body release toxins.
Be positive. Happy people are less likely to get sick. Stay social and laugh!
Cut down on sweets. Research shows the sugar in just two cans of soda
suppresses your immune function by 40 percent by disabling white blood cells’ ability to attack germs.
Drink tea. Green or black tea contain antioxi-dants that can help keep flu season at bay.

Ordinarily, holiday decorating would be a task I help my clients prepare for, but this year, I have been asked to have my house in the Lutheran Family and Children’s Services Holiday Home Tour, and there are defi-nitely not enough hours in a day. So, here’s some of my best advice.
Decorating for Christ-mas should be treated no differently than acces-sorizing your home for day-to-day living. Your Christmas tree should reflect your personality and the colors and fin-ishes that already exist in your home. For instance: If your home is casual country or French coun-try, add burlap ribbon and splashes of red and natural sprays of berries.
If your home includes rich tones with gold ac-cents, then add the same colored ornaments and ribbon to your tree and wreaths. For the shabby chic and more modern look, use shiny silvers, whites and have a little bit more fun with colored rib-bon and flashy sprays.
The key to decorating your tree is to layer it with several different colored and textured sprays, rib-bons and ornaments; I’ve even used feathers, col-ored sticks and branches covered in glitter.
Last year, when I revamped my tree for our new home, I set aside the angel for the top, placed other religious ornaments within the tree and tucked in curly willow branches covered in black glitter to the top.
There is obviously no right or wrong way to decorate your tree, but one thing I have learned over the years is if you really put in the time and effort, it will pay off.
When I was younger, we would hang the lights and ornaments on the outer edge of the branches and didn’t use ribbon. Now when I put up a tree, I make sure the tree has been rigorously fluffed so the branches go in all different directions, the lights are wrapped further within the tree, and ribbon is tucked here and there. I also add an occasional bow, posi-
tion ornaments and other objects randomly from the edge of the branches to the tree’s interior and layer sprays. Then, I finish off the top with an angel, sprays, sticks, feathers or even a bow.
Your tree should be the inspiration for your home, so once you’re finished with the tree, take elements from it and add them to your wreaths, swags and other tabletop arrangements.
To frame out a door-way, hearth mantel, table-top or buffet, swags are generally used. I know a lot of stores sell pre-made swags filled with sprays, glitter, berries, snow and ornaments, but as I’ve said, you can get extras of what you used in your tree to create your own custom swag.
Tabletops are a great place to have some fun with layering. Tablecloth, no tablecloth, a swag, a runner or even two runners: It’s your choice, but this is where you should start.
Chargers can be the base of each place setting. Your plates and a napkin with a napkin ring can be added to the top or on the side of the plate. Glasses, silverware, place settings, ornaments and candles can finish the look.
Remember: A good rule of thumb is to add items in groups of odd numbers and have fun with textures and finishes.

students. Tutoring is also on Julie’s part-time work schedule.
Traveling is one of Ju-lie’s favorite things, and she recently spent a month on the Gulf Coast. Julie plants a garden and likes to can the vegetables from it. Besides traveling, she also enjoys making stained glass.
Now when it comes to cooking, Julie is very par-ticular. While on vacation, preparing menus ahead of time and taking what she needs with her — such as a huge cooler of meat — is a must. Each week, she had different family and friends staying with her. She had themes such as: Gulf coast, where she prepared Seafood Gumbo. A Thanksgiving meal was prepared another night. There was an East Perry Fair food night with grilled cheese sandwiches and pork burgers. She prepared plenty of biscuits and gravy for her guests at breakfast, as well.
Julie enjoys spoiling people with her great cook-ing. This weekend, there will be some deer hunters who will reap the benefits of Julie Scholl’s great food. She said she usually fixes hearty meals — perhaps chicken and dumplings or fried chicken — for Friday and Saturday. We’re pretty sure she will have some of her famous cookies for the hunters as well.
Cookies are a favorite for Julie. She bakes at least 30 different kinds for the holidays, starting about the second week of December. Each batch is given as a gift.
She is so particular about her cookies that she knows just by the smell of them baking when it’s time to take them out of the oven. Every cookie has to meet her standards in order to be a part of her gift. When it comes to Choco-late Chip Cookies, they must be soft. So if you are a recipient of Julie’s cookie gifts, count yourself lucky; she puts a lot of time and love into each one.
When it comes to Thanksgiving and Christ-mas, Julie prepares all the meals. She enjoys having all the families together at her house. According to her sister-in-law, Kim, “Holi-day gatherings are held at the Scholls’. There are sev-eral main courses and every other dish you can imagine. One table is designated for desserts — yum. The next day there are creative

SEAFOOD GUMBO Taught to Julie Scholl by Debi Gholson.
Place one large chicken in a large stock pot, cover with water and boil until it falls off of the bones. (I prefer to trim off the skin.)
While boiling the chicken, add a bag of Zatarain’s crab boil in a bag. Keep the crab boil in the entire time until serving. Add seasoned salt, salt and pepper as well.
De-bone chicken and toss back in
stock pot. Add 4 large ribs of chopped
celery, 1 large chopped onion, 1 large chopped green pepper, 1 large can of crushed tomatoes, 1 can of drained corn, 1 pound of frozen or fresh okra. Add seasonings as desired.
Cook for 4-5 additional hours at a low boil stirring frequently.
Before serving, add 2 pounds of small-to-medium, peeled raw shrimp. Cook for 5-10 minutes. Serve over steamed rice.

‘leftover’ dishes made.”Kim also mentioned,
“If you were to stop by her house unexpected, she would go to the kitchen and start cooking.” When I set up a time to meet with Julie, I called one evening, and we met the next day. She had made her famous Chocolate Chip Cookies just so I could taste one and, of course, she sent some home for my son.
The chocolate chips really shine in this recipe, and the dough is very light. These were made very often when her son was in
football and basketball at Timberland High. Julie was the football mom; every Friday night, she prepared meals and cookies for 65 football team members. And you guessed it — for the basketball team, she had prepared a snack and cookies for each game.
Julie says she has about 300-400 cookbooks in her collection. Her favorite is the “Taste of Home” books. She says her aunt, Elaine Ruehling, shares a lot of recipes with her; then, Julie has to make them and change them up a bit to
make them her own. Another favorite cookie
for Julie is the Brown But-ter Cookie. She submitted that recipe to Dierbergs for their cookbook, and it was chosen as one of the best cookies! It’s a sweet, buttery, pecan cookie that melts in your mouth. I can see why it was chosen as a favorite cookie!
Thanks to Kim Scholl for letting us know what a wonderful cook her sister-in-law, Julie Scholl, is.

God’s kind of love
I love my wife. I love steak. I love God. I love my dog. We use it so often and in so many ways. Unfortunately, the word “love” is used so commonly in our language that it has lost much of its meaning. Hopefully, we have a differ-ent level of meaning for each one of these phrases. I would say most people do. But, when we use the same word to describe how we feel about God as we do about our food, it tends to lose its effectiveness. Certainly there is noth-ing wrong with using the phrase “I love steak.” However, when we use the same word to describe two different things with two different values, the deeper meaning often gets lost in the over-usage of the word.
Every person sees things through their own filter, from their own view-point, and through their way of thinking. Everyone has some kind of overall view of life, relationships, God, etc. And if you spend much time at all talking with people about the subject of love, you will find people view love in very differ-ent ways, too. As previously stated, we use the word “love” in a wide variety of ways. So let me ask you some questions. Have you ever thought about your love for God? Or better yet, God’s love for you? What do you think of when you hear the phrase God loves you? I have found one of the most powerful state-ments that could ever be made is “God loves you.” But, many times when it is said, it has little to no meaning to the person hearing it, because of their view of God and/or God’s love.
Sometimes when people hear about God’s love for them, they connect it with another person in their life that says “I love you” but does not show love in their actions. The love that God has for people is on a completely different level than the love people have for one an-other. It is also on a different level than I love my dog, I love steak, or I love my spouse. The love that God has for people is so great that it is actually talked about in the Bible as having dimensions. Paul writes about God’s love in Eph 3:18 — “... may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height.” God’s love is so grand for us that it can’t be explained with mere words, or even understood with our minds. It is something we must experience in our hearts. Paul goes on to say in versus 19: “... to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge…” Let me ask you another question. If it passes knowledge, how can you know it? By this statement it sounds like Paul was confused. If you look a little deeper at the words “know” and “knowledge,” it gives us the answer. “Knowledge” is speaking of a mental understanding; but, “know” is referring to an experience. Paul’s prayer is that we would experi-ence God’s love in our hearts, even though it passes the understanding we have of God’s love in our minds.
I pray your heart is filled and over-flowing with God’s kind of love.

This Sunday at St. Vincent de Paul Catho-lic Church in Perryville, choral voices from sev-eral area congregations will come together for the Perry County Ministerial Alliance’s annual Ecu-menical Choir Concert.
Held almost every year since 1990, the con-cert invites any and all congregational choirs, quartets, duos, etc. to par-ticipate on behalf of the PCMA. The community is encouraged to join in the fun and enjoy some good Christian entertain-ment for the afternoon.
“I’m looking forward to the congregation get-ting together in fellow-ship,” said First Assem-bly of God Pastor John Chamness and head of PCMA. “This also helps to provide a feeling that, as Christians, we’re not that dissimilar. It comes down to a basic thought that we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The concert will also help to raise money for PCMA.
“The offering that will be received goes to funds for services that we pro-vide as the Alliance,” he said.
Those services, as list-ed in the alliance’s consti-tution and bylaws, include helping Perry County residents who need emer-gency assistance, serv-ing transients passing through the area who need assistance, provid-ing fellowship and com-munication among the clergy who serve Perry County and communi-cating the Christian mes-sage to the community. Unfortunately, the alli-ance, annually, brings a budget of $3,000-$4,000 to execute the services they represent.
“This does not give the alliance very much to budget in order to meet people’s needs,” Cham-ness said. “That’s why this concert is so impor-tant.”
Tonight, a practice will be held at 7 p.m. at St. Vincent for those choirs who have signed up to participate. The event on Sunday will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and any-one is welcome to attend.
Those performing in Sunday’s concert include the St. Vincent de Paul choir, the Immanuel Lu-theran adult and men’s choirs, the Perry County Lutheran Chorale and Friends, a mixed congre-gation choir.

‘What freedom do I enjoy most?’Perry County third through 12th graders write about the freedoms they like the most through essays
Danyel FarrarGrade 3, Altenburg Public School
In the United States of America we have many freedoms, but the freedom I enjoy the most is the freedom to believe in the religion of your choice. There are many different beliefs about
religion but I get to choose the one that is best for me.
Freedom of religion means that you can believe what you want to be-lieve about God. You can pray when you want to and no one can make you stop. You can attend the church of your choice and no one can tell you
to get out of the church. You can pick what religion you want to go to and you can pick what church you want to be baptized in. I like being able to decide what I believe about.
See ESSAYS/Page 8B
Evie BrewsterGrade 4, Altenburg Public School
People living in the United States have many freedoms. Some freedoms I enjoy the most are educa-tion, music and sports. Not everybody likes the freedoms I do but there are other freedoms people can choose from.
Education is important because all people, boys and girls, can go to school. We can learn how to read and write and do math, spelling and English. We can pick where we want to go to college so we can learn what skills we need for the job we pick.
Music is important to me because it helps me relax and go to sleep at night. I also enjoy music because I can use it to praise and worship God. In some countries people can-not worship freely like us.
Sports are import to me because I can play any kind of sport. I play soccer and I like basketball. Just because I am a girl does not mean I cannot play sports.
Education, music and sports are freedoms that I am thankful for. These freedoms allow me to make choices and be an individ-ual. I feel blessed to live in a country that has so many freedoms.
Faith KappGrade 8, St. Vincent Jr./Sr. High School
Our country is very lucky to have freedoms. There are many places that aren’t as lucky as the United States. We can wear whatever clothes we want, talk freely and even choose which religion we want to belong to. I think I enjoy the freedom of choice the best.
Freedom of choice al-lows us to choose things the way we want them to be. No one can tell us what to do. In our life we are constantly making choices whether they are right or wrong. We have the freedom to do that. Consequences may result from our actions but it was our choice whether it was good or bad. Other coun-tries may not allow people to make their own choices. Just recently in the news a
girl was shot because she gave her opinion on some-thing. In our country we have the freedom to choose to give our opinions and are allowed to do it. Other countries may have to wear certain clothes or hairstyles when we get the choice of those things.
Freedom of choice isn’t one of the main freedoms written in our Constitu-tion but we do have this freedom. It kind of ties other freedoms together like getting to choose our religion or getting to give our opinions on things from freedom of speech. We make many choices in our lives whether we notice it or not. We choose what pencil to use, food to eat, shoes to wear or what color to use for our background page.
What if we didn’t have this freedom? What if we all had to belong to the same religion, weren’t allowed to choose our language or give opinions, or weren’t allowed to wear different clothes?
It would be hard when you would think something was unfair but couldn’t speak up about it. It would also be hard if you didn’t want to believe what everyone else believed in but didn’t have the choice to change religions. We are very fortunate to live in a country that gives us all of these freedoms. We are very lucky compared to others who don’t have all of these freedoms.
Kayla BuchheitGrade 7, Perry County Middle School
This is a question I have thought about often. I am proud to say that I have freedom. This question makes me think about the service men and women who have stood to protect my freedom. Of all the freedoms I enjoy, the one that I enjoy most is the right to go to school and have an education.
Some may read this and wonder why I would choose going to school as my most enjoyed freedom. My response to that would be that I love school! I enjoy this freedom most of all because I am able to learn in a safe place and I am treated like everyone else in school. I love the thought of being able to get up in the morning and going to school to learn
about so many things and be with friends as well.
School helps us decide our future, the future that has not yet been written. That is very important to me as well. The freedom of an equal education allows me to choose my path, my own future. School, at times may seem dull or dif-ficult, but even during those times, we are still learning and experiencing so much. My freedom to go to school eventually leads to college and the possibility of a very bright future.
Did you know that in some places in the world school is not an option for many children, especially girls? This means that they will probably not have the best opportunities to suc-ceed in their dreams and goals.
My favorite freedom is also a favorite freedom to many of my friends. The freedom of going to school gives us the opportunity to learn and be educated everyday, and I love being around friends that ap-preciate it as much as I do! I love going to school and seeing my teachers. I hon-estly do not know what my life would be like without school.
My future depends on my education. Because of this freedom, I may study to be anything I want to be, and what I want to be is a scientist. I enjoy many freedoms that I love and appreciate. I thank the ser-vice men and women who sacrificed for us so I am able to be free and choose my own future.
Olivia CookGrade 6, Immanuel Lu-theran School
In the United States of America, we have so many freedoms I can’t even count all of them! I think the free-dom I enjoy most is free-dom of choice. Freedom of choice gives us the freedom to choose the President, our religion, our speech, our jobs and many more. In many other countries these decisions are made by the government, not the people.
Here in the U.S.A., we can vote for our president and other government of-ficials, so that we can have a say in who is in charge of our country. Since we have the right to vote, we also
have the responsibility to know what each candidate stands for and what they would do to help our coun-try. We must make sure to vote at every opportunity in memory of those who died to give us this right.
Our country was formed by people who were seek-ing religious freedom. We are allowed to practice whatever religion we wish because we have separation of church and government.
Freedom of speech is very important to us because we can’t get in trouble for saying what we think. In other countries, you could be killed if you said something that the government officials didn’t believe.
In America, we have the freedom to choose our jobs. In some countries, if you are born into a family that makes paper, you have to make paper your whole life.
Or in other countries, when you were born they would decide what they wanted you to be while you are still a baby.
I’m thankful to have these freedoms, so I can make all these important choices for myself. I hope that all Americans remem-ber to be thankful for all these freedoms that we all enjoy.
Peyton KidkulGrade 5, Perry County Middle School
Freedom of speech, in my own words, would be the right to say what I want and speak my ideas and opinions. In our great country, America, I agree that all individuals should have this right. All people
should have a say in deci-sions involving themselves. I agree that all people should have the right to speak to each other freely. I will never think that using your words to hurt some-one or lie will ever be right. I know that even a single person’s words do have the power to damage or even ruin someone’s life.
This freedom has a phenomenal effect on our country today. In America, all of our communities have a say in what our government does. With this freedom all people have the right to say what they want and express what they want changed. However, you can’t tell a lie that may hurt someone or someone’s business or organization. These statements are il-legal. You can be sued or arrested.
If this freedom wasn’t made, then America would be in chaos! People would be killed if they defied the government! No one should have to live like that! Free-dom of speech saves people of having to live in fear of being killed if they say anything out of line. This freedom helps make our country the great country it deserves to be.
In other countries, freedom of speech doesn’t exist, it’s only a dream. People in other countries are not treated fairly. They are not allowed to speak opinions. In Pakistan a girl was shot because she tried to speak up about women being educated.
In our great country, America, we have the right to speak our opinions. America the beautiful, where freedom rings true.
