Merry Christmas 2009 from Rod & Jan Farthing & Family!
Merry Christmas!
3127 Highway K, Salem, MO 65560 (Same house, new address!)
Christmas 2009
Dear Family and Friends,
Here we are at the end of another year. We have been blessed in so many ways, and we praise God for His goodness. Now that Rodney is 60 (yep, he is) we're truly in the "seniors" bracket. We are down to having an "only child" at home. So where did the year go? Here are a few highlights:
Rodney spoke 75 times for ARM Prison Outreach www.arm.org, driving to 53 different locations in 7 states, including 2 camps and 4 conventions. The kids and Jan traveled less this year, though they were along for the camps and conventions and a few extra locations. When Joy and Ryan left for college, Jan and Julia went along with Rodney about once a month. Rodney teaches Bible Study at church on Wed. nights. He continues as senior hospice chaplain for Phelps Regional Hospice based in Rolla. He serves as district 8 coordinator for the Constitution Party of MO. rodfar@arm.org
Jan continues as wife & mom, teacher (only 1 student now), ARM appointment secretary, Dent Co. home school coordinator, 4-H project leader, mentor for ex-prisoners/families, children's teacher at church, and substitute manager for the clothes closet at church (when Joy's not home.) jan@arm.org
Randa (36) and Muncher and Nebraska welcomed Kinlee Carene on Feb. 9. She is SO like her mom. Some pics bring flashbacks of days gone by. She is growing well and may soon pass her big sis. Nebraska is now 3 and ahead of the curve on her academics. She still deals with weak lower body strength so is not yet walking alone, but is doing well holding on. Randa continues her Down Syndrome blogging community. www.justrk.blogspot.com She loves - and is quite good at - creating backgrounds for people's blog sites, not to mention the encouragement she can offer to new moms of children with Down Syndrome. Muncher is still with the IT dept. of St. Charles County. braskasmom@gmail.com
Jody -- Dr. Joel Farthing, DVM (33) -- is in his own clinic with his partner Nick Lindsay. O'Fallon Veterinary Medical Clinic is in full swing. Stop by and see him if you're in the STL area. http://www.ofallonvmc.com/about_us/vets/ Skye continues as an auditor with St. Charles County. DocJoel@gmail.com
Rachel (29) married Patrick Donlan in May. Rachel is still in administration with St. Luke's Hospital. Patrick represents The Hartford investment company in the Mutual Fund division. They live in St. Charles while they are saving and house hunting. stlrachel@aol.com
Joy (20) is at St. Louis Christian College and enjoys being there. She is taking the general classes for freshmen. She will be home Dec. 19 for semester break. She works in the school cafeteria. She also continues to care for the church clothes closet and volunteers at the Ozark Natural and Cultural Resource Center in Salem when she is home. godzlilgirl89@yahoo.com
Ryan (18) is at Oklahoma Christian University in OKC and loves it, achieving a 4.0 GPA. He works maintaining computers in the school library and helps with their web site. He is working towards a ministry major and a computer minor. He also enjoys creating videos. His most recent IS at
Julia (14) is now finding out what it's like to be an only child. She is doing 8th and 9th grade work this year, desiring to graduate in 2013. She is playing girls' basketball with the Rolla Royals. She continues to be in 4-H and does art, horse, and photography. She won a lot of ribbons at the Dent County Fair in August, including 4-H Best of Show for a horse painting.
Our prayer is for each of you to have a wonderful family time celebrating Our Savior and days of God's blessings in the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Love from all of us to all of you!

next two weeks
Notes on the next two weeks –
Monday, Dec 7th—
Practice canceled due to conflicts
Tuesday, Dec 8th—
Practice at Mark Twain Elementary School 6- 8 pm
Directions to Mark Twain-
Mark Twain is on Salem Avenue in Rolla, which runs at a diagonal northwest to southeast... the easiest way to find it, if you've never been there before, is off of Highway 72.
Salem Avenue is at the stoplight before you reach Highway O going south east on 72. You will see a Break Time gas station and Phelphs County Bank at that intersection.
Turn at that light to head northwest on Salem Avenue (a left turn if you're coming from the direction of Hwy 63; a right turn if you're coming from Hwy O)
Take Salem Avenue short ways until you see Mark Twain Elementary School on your right.
Turn onto the street right after the school (where the school sign is). Go a short ways until you see a street that turns right and leads behind the school. Follow that road to the new part of the school – big glass doors lead to the gym.
Thursday, Dec 10th –
Scrimmage at Wyman Elementary School vs. 7th grade SIR team 6:30-7:30 pm
Very informal – I don't know if there will be referees or a scoreboard. I'll let you know more information as I get it. Coach Adams will let you know Tuesday which players should plan to come.
Directions to Wyman Elementary
Get to Highway 63
Drive in the direction of Kmart (on the south end of town, south of Walmart)
At the intersection of Lanning Lane and Hwy 63, you will see Kmart and Town and Country Bank. Turn EAST (toward Kmart)
Drive up the hill on Lanning Lane. Wyman Elementary School is on your left.
The gym is at the far east end of the complex
Friday, Dec 11th
A homeschool group from Jonesboro, Arkansas is coming to Rolla to play our teams.
Game times:
6:00 pm -- 14U boys
7:15 pm – girls game – all girls dress
8:30 pm – 18U boys
Volunteer schedule:
Admissions: Judy Cureton 5:45 – 6:45 (when Stacy arrives)
Stacy Quittschrieber 6:45 – 7:45
Scoreboard: Lee Robertson
Scorebook: ?
Concessions: ? Kathy Collins may be coordinating something in this area.
Saturday, Dec 12th
14 U Boys tournament – look for a separate email with the entire day's schedule. We still need volunteers in many areas that day, so look at the schedule and let me know what times you are available to help. Girls, we would really appreciate any help you can give, since we'll be asking the boys to help with your tournament in January!
No girls game for the Royals that day. However, the St. Louis Patriettes will be bringing their Varsity A team to play Jonesboro's girls at 2 pm – you may want to come watch that game if you want to see some really good girls basketball! The Patriettes have an excellent program, and their teams are always good. They are a nice group of people as well, so we always enjoy their visits.
Cancellations:
I have been asked at what point we make decisions about canceling games due to weather. Here are some basic principles:
#1 – we don't cancel games based on forecasts, because we've learned that the weather in Missouri likes to do its own thing J
#2 – we consult with teams driving to play us first. Even if the weather is okay here, their weather may not be, and if it is a long distance, they may not want to make the drive if the weather is uncertain.
#3 – we must defer to the school district, since we are using their facilities. If school is cancelled in Rolla, their policy is that their facilities are not used for any events. I'm not sure yet how that applies to Saturdays.
#4 – we don't usually cancel until the day of an event, sometimes even midday. Keep your eyes open for emails if the weather is iffy (and remember the weather may be good here, but our opponents may not want to make the drive, or we may not drive to a location where the weather is bad).
Monday, Dec 14 – Practice 6-8 pm at Junior High
Tuesday, Dec 15 – Practice 6-8 pm at Junior High
Friday, Dec 18 – Practice 6-8 pm at Redeemer
Let your coach know if you have conflicts for any of these dates… and remember that schedules may change due to weather or excessive conflicts, so keep alert!
P.S. Our phone system/internet connection is on the fritz… we may have used someone else's connection to get this message sent… So if you urgently need to talk to us in the next day or two, call us on our cell phones!

Saturday game -- request from Coach Adams
Coach Adams asks that you wear conservative clothes to the game, something that you would wear to church. He had intended to tell you at Thursday practice, but forgot. Also, Allison Bruno, the Farthings, The Laires,The Hamiltons, and the Adams will all be traveling from our various homes, and thus only the rest of the team will be meeting at Kroger, which will be, the Cates, who are taking Jenny, and then, Laura, Kelsey, and Desi Thank you, Brett Adams.. via Mrs. Hall |
tshirts
I will be able to fill a few of the orders at the game tonight, with shirts I have in stock, but the rest of you will need to wait until next week sometime. Sorry about that!

Saturday game
Girls Game Saturday --
11 am in Springfield, at Central Bible College.
I suggest you meet at Kroger and leave at 8:30 am. That should give you time to get to the college by 10:30 am
There are two attachments - one is a google map showing you the general location of CBC. The other is a written description of how you actually get to the gym... also copied below. For those of you who have been with RHAA, this is where we played the SWMO Eagles in basketball last year, as well as where we went for the Eagles volleyball tournament this past fall.
Central Bible College, Springfield – SWMO Eagles
As you head west on I-44, take Exit 77 (Hwy. 13 or Kansas Expwy.). Turn right onto 13/Kansas and immediately turn right again onto Norton Road. You'll pass the Zoo and the Fairgrounds on your left and come to a stoplight at Grant Ave. Turn left and go half a block; take the first right into the CBC parking lot. As soon as you turn in to the lot, make a sharp left and go north to the end of the lot. Make a sharp right turn and head east through the lot for half a block or so. You should be able to see a building in front of you and down the hill, with a lot of glass on the front. You'll probably see the trophy cases inside and people milling around the snack area. Follow a winding road to the left and then right into the lot by the gym. Use the entrance on the west side of the building that has stairs leading up to it. The gate is right inside. It's easier than it sounds!

Practice Monday, November 30th is at Redeemer Lutheran Church. Same time, 6 - 8 pm.
Feel free to email me or call (364-4858) if you need directions.

- Saturday, Dec. 12th -- 5 pm
- Saturday, Jan 2nd -- time to be determined, probably afternoon.....(this would replace the practice on the schedule)

uniforms that don't fit
Thanks

more about uniforms
Yes, we are trying to use the uniforms we already have, but it is also important that they fit somewhat reasonably, so please don't be shy about telling me a bigger or smaller size would fit better. We are going to have to order a few pairs of shorts, so we might as well be sure everyone has the size they need. It is more costly to get new jerseys (because of the printing of logo and numbers), so we'll probably try to make due with those, but if we need to, we can buy some new ones.
If you did not get a uniform yet:
I will NOT be at practice tomorrow night, but I will send a box of bags with Mr. Hall. Each bag holds a uniform for players who did not get a uniform Monday. Please take these home and try them on, then email me if you need a different size of anything, since I guessed at sizes and/or gave you what was left. Again, keep them until I ask you to bring them to exchange (if you need a different size).
New Players:
Each of you gets a white Royals t-shirt to use as a warm up shirt as part of your registration.
Please email me the following information:
1) T-shirt size (I suggest you go a size higher than what you usually wear, so it will be loose over your game jersey)
2) Name to put on the back -- your first or last name -- siblings can choose to have an initial, too (like C. Cates for Christopher, since his sister Emily also plays)
Returning players may buy a new warm-shirt for $10 if they want a new one... please provide the same information requested above.
I've attached a t-shirt order form in case anyone wants to order additional shirts for family members. They come in navy, gold, and white. I am hoping to order some smaller sizes than are listed on the form, so feel free to add sizes you'd like to buy, and we'll see if we can get them. I need t-shirt orders by next Monday at the latest. (you may pay when they arrive)
Thanks,

Uniforms/parent meeting
If you were not able to get your uniform last night, it is very important that you pick it up Thursday. I will just be assigning uniforms by my best guess of size, so you will need to let me know if something doesn't work. If for some reason, you are unable to attend practice on Thursday, please contact me to make arrangements to get your uniform.
Thank you to all who came to the parent meeting. We covered a lot in a short period of time, so please feel free to ask if you have any questions. I will include the agenda and calendar in the bag with your players uniform for those who weren't able to attend the meeting, so be sure to ask them for it Thursday.

parent meeting
Here is the schedule for the entire evening:
6 pm -- girls practice starts
6:30- 7 pm -- boys uniform distribution/measurement/ordering (please arrive by at least 6:45 to get this done)
7:00 -- boys practice starts in practice gym with Mr. Hickle
7:00 -- boys parent meeting
7:30 -- girls parent meeting (girls will be in practice gym while Coach Adams joins the meeting)
8:00 -- girls uniform distribution/measurement/ordering after practice ends...
9:00 -- boys practice ends
It is important that you attend the appropriate team meeting, since we will be covering each group's schedule and dynamics specifically. If you absolutely cannot make the meeting, please let us know so we can be sure you get the appropriate information. We are still finalizing calendar, waiting to hear back from some people, so we won't hand out any calendars until that night. The calendars are online at rollaroyals.com if you want to see where we stand right now.
Please feel free to ask if this is unclear or you have any questions in advance.

Basketball practices begin tomorrow
Tomorrow is the first girls basketball practice -- 6 - 8 pm in the Rolla Junior High gym (the last 1/2 hour, they will move to the practice gym). The volleyball players will not be practicing this week, but if they can get their forms turned in, that would be appreciated!
Players not able to make practice (or games) for any reason, please notify Coach Adams -- his email is CC'd so that you can easily find it. His home phone is 573-674-3359, and his cell phone is 573-201-7057.
Forms and fees are due. The registration form is especially important for us to have before you start participating in practice. If you need to pay your fee in installments, that is fine - just let us know. I will not be there at the beginning of practice, so you may give any paperwork and payments to Jeanine Maxwell.
We will be having a parent meeting soon -- look for a message on that soon. You may look at the schedule on the website, but just be warned that it is still subject to change -- we are still working on confirming things. But it will give you a general idea of what is coming up.

shoes...
We also are in the market for a new pair for him, so if you have a slightly used pair that you'd like to sell us, let us know! We need a men's 10 or 10.5. Oh, and Abby needs some, too, size 8 women's.
Feel free to share your "shoe needs" with the list -- that's one of the benefits of the RHAA community!

Girls Basketball begins!
Monday, October 26 and Thursday October 29th
6 pm - 7:30 pm
Rolla Junior High
Coaches will be present, but this is not a practice. It will be a time to practice shooting and perhaps do some informal scrimmages. Parents are welcome to attend. Boys will have a separate open gym time following.
Registration forms and fees are due before the beginning of practices (Monday Nov 2nd). If you are new, you may print out the attached registration form or you may pick one up next week to fill out. If you do print it out, please re-format it, if necessary, to keep it on one page. Returning players, you are welcome to fill out a new form, or you can pick up your form, already filled out, at one of the open gyms next week -- then all you have to do is check the information, sign it, and pay your fee. Registration forms and fees can be turned in at an open gym -- please put them in an envelope addressed "Dawn Hall" and give it to me or to a coach, if I'm not there. Or, you can mail it to me at the address on the form. Checks should be made payable to RHAA.
Practices begin Monday, Nov 2nd and will continue on Monday and Thursdays through November -- you'll be given a practice/game schedule for December, January and February by the first practice. We realize that volleyball players are still finishing their season, so practice the first week will not be mandatory for them.

birthdates
We're starting to think about basketball, and I realized that I lost almost all my information from last year in April, when my computer died and we had to take it back in time to October!
We have paper copies of almost everything, but I can't find registration forms right now, so please do me a favor and send me an email with birthdates of any players who started with RHAA last year, assuming they are going to play again this year! While you're at it, you can also let me know if you've had any address or phone number changes so I can update my records.
It would also be helpful to know jersey numbers worn by everyone last year, so we have a starting place for uniforms this year....
We hope to get some information out about basketball soon!
Thanks,

Thank you
Our family is so appreciative of the love and gratitude expressed to us at the end of the basketball season. It was amazing the creativity that was exhibited in the expression of thanks, from kind words, pencils, and hand-made cards to apple butter, tea bags and azalea plants, with many other wonderful gifts in between. Each gift speaks to us in a different way, and we not only appreciate each gift, but even more the givers. We know that sports commitments can put a big strain on families, and we appreciate your willingness to join together with ours and other families to make RHAA possible.
Thanks again!

Pictures, and End of the Year
Right now, it looks like Friday, March 13th is going to be our end-of-the-year recognition night. We are hoping to get the Junior High facility, and have the use of the gym and cafeteria there. Our tentative schedule will be as follows:
6-6:30 JH Boys vs. Dads/Older Brothers Game
6:30-7:15 Potluck Dinner and Fellowship Time
7:15 - 8 Player and Coaches Recognition
8 - 8:30 Girls vs. Moms/Older Sisters Game
8:30 - 9:30 Varsity Boys vs. Dads
For the potluck, RHAA will provide paper goods and drinks. Please e-mail me as to whether you family is able to come, and a rough estimate of how many people you will have coming.
Remember, uniforms need to be turned in at this date, if you haven't already. Girls and Varsity Boys - please don't wear your uniform for the scrimmage - we will plan to use the gold practice jerseys (for the girls) and the older jerseys that Hickles have (for the guys). JH Boys - please bring your uniform, if you still have it, and we may or may not use them for the games in the evening. If we do use them, our family will just take them home and take care of washing them. Also, we'll hand out the pictures (if we have them in by then).
As always, ask if you have any questions! I hope that everyone can make this date - it's always a great wrap-up to the season, and a wonderful chance to fellowship with other families.

Tomorrow's Games
Well, inevitably, we have had a schedule change since that supposed "final" e-mail. :)
Because of some facility issues on the Lebanon side of things, our games tomorrow (Monday, Feb. 23rd) are going to be played at Camden Christian School, IN Camdenton (same location as Thursday night - Varsity Guys, it's the same place we usually play Camdenton, check website for directions). We will still be playing against the Lebanon Rockets. Our games will be played at the following times (notice time changes, 30 minutes later) --
6:00 pm - JH Boys
7:00 pm - GOLD Girls
8:15 pm - Varsity Boys
Camdenton is a little further than Lebanon (1:15 rather than 1:00), but the games have been moved back 30 minutes, so here are departure times --
Halls (and any JH Boys families) leaving Rolla from Kroger at 4:15 pm.
Girls need to leave by 5:15
Varsity Guys by 6:30
Please reply to this so that we know you got the message! Also, let us know your driving plans.
Thanks in advance for being flexible, and sorry if this causes any problems for you.

JH Boys and Girls -- more about tonight's game
- #1 --The church you are looking for is Bible Baptist Church -- it seems like it used to be the only church along there, but the last few times we've gone, we really have to search for it... the school sign in very little, so hopefully knowing the church name will help.
- There is more than one way to get to Camdenton, and the directions we posted last night may have confused some of you, because I don't think it is the "usual" route. I decided to try it last year after we had kids get carsick on the usual route, and I found that it was just as fast, probably because you stay on the Interstate longer, and don't have long sections of hilly, windy roads. So that is the way we usually go now. But feel free to go the other "alternate" way if you prefer -- directions to both are now on the website...
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

RE: Tuesday night games
I will be taking Emily. My Grandmother lives in Houston, so we will be visiting her before or after. We would be willing to take up to 5 with us as long as they wouldn’t mind either going a little earlier, or waiting to return a little later. (My Grandma is in the nursing home, and we would only stay about 30 min.)

Boy, do I (and Ryan) remember that carpet!!!!!
Thanks again, we'll drive straight from our home south of Salem. It's less than 40 miles to Houston, so it is one of our shorter drives -- about 43-44 miles. We'll plan to arrive during the girls game. Do we know what color they'll wear? Should we bring practice whites?

Tuesday night games vs. Houston Wellspring
- Girls Blue Team at 6 pm
- Boys at 7:15 pm
Games will be held at Faith Fellowship Church (the same place as last year, for those who went). It is a carpeted gym, so we highly recommend knee pads if you have them to wear -- several of our players ended up with some pretty bad rug burns last year.
To carpool, meet at the Rolla Kmart Parking Lot -- girls meet at 4:30 pm/ guys at 5:30 pm.
- Girls: Only Abby and Becky are going from the Hall family, but our 12 psgr van is available to go, if an adult will drive it. Otherwise, our daughters will need a ride with someone else.
- Guys: The Hickles have 7 seats available in their van
To ease our minds that everyone is covered, please let us know what your plans are for getting to the games. Thanks!
Directions below -- (if you go to Google Maps directly, you'll need to adjust the final step --the church is actually 5 miles out of town on Highway 17) Basically, south on 63 into Houston, then turn right on Highway 17, go 5 miles west.

remaining Feb Schedule
Below you will find the remaining schedule for Feb. We have a full 2 1/2 weeks. Changes/clarification of previously published schedules are noted with a **. The Google calendar should reflect all of these changes.
As always, be in contact with coaches about games you may need to miss for various reasons, so they can plan accordingly -- if they know several players will be missing at a game, they can ask girls from the other team to fill in.
Fri, 2/13 6-8pm Practice @ RJH

1:30 pm Blue Team vs. Patriettes Jr Hi
3:45 pm Gold Team vs. Patriettes Varsity B

Picture schedule addressed in a separate email...
survey
I'm trying to set up a picture schedule that will work for everyone, and I know that at least one of the girls will be gone from this Sunday to almost the end of the season...but I have no idea who else might have other conflicts...
So, I'm looking at two possibilities to get it done right away, neither of which is perfect...
- Friday night, at the end of practice (7:30 pm) or
- Saturday, between the two girls games or after the second girls game (due to theatre rehearsal conflicts, before the games won't work)
Or, do you think we should just wait until the end of the season (Feb 26th probably)
Thanks
Let me know ASAP

game tonight
We will start as soon after 6 pm as we can get everything ready. I'm pretty sure the school teams will be practicing until 5:30 pm, so I don't know what time we will actually be able to get into the gym. Please lay low until it appears the building is pretty much cleared out -- they really don't want us to overlap the school teams, which is why we aren't supposed to start using the facility until 6:00 pm
Another email is coming with updates for the rest of the month. We have several schedule adjustments and clarifications to make.

Pictures coordinator needed
Becky suggested we solicit a volunteer(s) to coordinate this project. We will set the date, but the the volunteer(s) would:
- distribute order forms to all players ahead of time
- attend the picture session, collect forms and payment
- arrange with photographer to pickup photos when ready
- distribute finished pictures to players
Please let us know if you can help in this way, and we'll pass along all the necessary information.

directions to Truman Elementary School
Take 10th street east from Highway 63 (or west from Forum). At the intersection of 10th and Holloway, go north. This will take you right by the Centre. Keep going north until Holloway comes to a "T" at 18th street. Turn right, and you will see the school on your left. I'm not sure where the gym is -- it should be pretty easy to figure out, though.
Team/individual pictures?
Basic cost is $12 for an 8x10 team photo and a 5x7 individual photo in a nice folder. Additional pictures, including "trading cards" can also be purchased.
We'll only schedule pictures if enough people are interested, but we'd like everyone to be there even if you aren't planning on buying pictures. We will definitely try to find a time to schedule doesn't involve another trip to town!
Please respond to this email by Monday if you are interested.

Friday night is a practice for everyone, at the Middle School, from 7 - 9 pm.

Tuesday Game cancelled as well
Our games tomorrow are now canceled -- Rolla Schools are closed tomorrow, so we can't use the facility, and besides, the Houston coach called tonight already wanting to cancel. We did reschedule with him for Thursday, Feb 26th. We will try to reschedule with Lebanon, too, possibly that last week of February as well.
We'll keep in touch...stay warm and be careful if you have to go out
Dawn
tonight's game cancelled
The decision on this one just got taken out of my hands -- I just received a phone call from Calvin Morrow in Lebanon, and he felt the wisest course of action at this point was to cancel tonight's games. Even though the precipitation has not started yet, they are 100% certain it is going to by 3 or 4, and they are expecting heavy ice in Lebanon. His concern is that even if we got there, by the time we finished our games, we may not be able to get home safely.
So, it looks like we don't play Lebanon, again! Enjoy the evening off.
Junior High Boys -- since we don't have a game, Coach Hall would like to have your regular practice at Wyman from 4 - 5:30 pm. We will send an email out at 3:30pm confirming that (in case we find out the school is closed, or the weather is really bad at that point). Those of you coming from St. James or out in the country, please feel free to call us at home 573-364-4858 to double-check that we are on.
Everyone take care!

tomorrow's weather forecast and game
Please feel free to give us any input, especially about road conditions that you encounter during the day. The trip to Lebanon is primarily on the interstate, but we also understand that of you have to contend with other roads to get to the interstate, so we want to take that into consideration as well.
Also, let us know if you are going to be unable to check your email tomorrow afternoon, so that we can be sure to call you if we cancel.

Re: IMPORTANT TIME CHANGE for TUESDAY practice
Ladies and coaches--
In double checking facilities and times, we realized this morning that we have made an error on your calendars. (it probably won't be the last, unfortunately : ~ )
ALL Tuesday practices at Redeemer Lutheran Church cannot start until 7 PM -- the gym is used by another team until then. We have the gym from 7 - 9 pm, NOT 6 - 8 pm.
PLEASE reply to this message to let us know you received it. We don't want people showing up an hour early tomorrow because they didn't get the message!
Thanks,
Dawn Hall
