CANTON IN PATH OF PROPOSED NEW CRUDE OIL PIPELINE

A major crude oil pipeline has Lewis County as part of its proposed route.

Enbridge has announced the construction of a nearly 600 mile line connecting current facilities in Flanagan, Illinois to Cushing, Oklaho-ma. The company calls it the Flanagan South project.

Company spokesman Kev-in O’Connor said the “open season” ended Friday, Feb. 10. This is when shippers say how much they’ll use

the line. O’Connor said En-bridge is negotiating with the shippers, and therefore, it’s not immediately known the capacity of the line.

O‘Connor said the pipeline would be 30 inches in diam-eter, and would be roughly fi ve to six miles in length from Illinois to the exit into Marion County. He said landowners and elected of-fi cials have been contacted, and in March, property own-ers will be contacted again for permission to allow sur-vey teams onto the proper-ties.

The pipeline would be

south and east of the Wa-konda State Park, and would be south of 280th Street in Lewis County.

He said pipelines are typi-cally buries three to four feet from the ground surface to the pipe.

“We’re looking to fol-low a current Spearhead Oil pipeline built in 1952 by the Sinclair Company. Enbridge bought 90 percent of that in 2003, and the rest of it from BP in 2005,’ O’Connor said.

The project, while it in-cludes new pipelines, does not include new sources for the oil. The oil to be pumped

through the lines would come from existing facili-ties in North Dakota, Mon-tana, and in the oil sands of Alberta, Canada. O’Connor said it is likely other lines will be built from Cushing to refi neries in southern states, where it would likely be ex-ported.

After the contracts are worked out with shippers, then Enbridge would begin contacting permit agencies.

Construction likely will not start until mid 2013, and the project is expected to be complete by mid 2014.

Community meeting set to discuss building.

A Canton community meeting will be held in a building, which will be the topic of discussion.

In a Monday, Feb. 13 email to in-dividuals, the community is invited to the building at 314 Lewis Street, formerly known as the Saturday Store building. The meeting held by the Canton Community Betterment Group, who has inherited possession to the building, will address the possi-bility of using the building for a com-munity center.

The town hall public meeting is Thursday, March 1 at 7 p.m. at the building.

The email said people who feel the project is “doable” should come and show support and help prepare a plan of execution. Without such a plan, the building may be sold on an on-line auction in April.

COMMUNITY MEETING SET TO DISCUSS BUILDING

CANTON SCOUTS TO BE “SCOUTING FOR FOOD” MARCH 3

MINOR INJURIES REPORTED IN ONE-VEHICLE ACCIDENT

Canton boy Scouts will again be “Souting for Food” March 3.

They will collect non-perishables placed at front doors by door hangers. Te4h foood collected will got to a lo-cal food pantry.

Food bins will be set up at Orschelns, County Market, and Dollar General from 9-11 a.m. Feb. 25 and March 3.

One person had apparently slight in-juries in a one-vehicle weather-related accident in Lewis County Feb. 8.

Brandon M. Dean, 23, Canton, was taken to Blessing Hospital by Lewis County ambulance with apparently minor injuries.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said Dean was northbound on U.S. 61 three miles south of LaGrange, when his 1999 Chevrolet slide off the east side of the road and overturned at 12:30 a.m. The vehicle was totaled.

Also assisting the Patrol were La-Grange Police, LaGrange Fire and Rescue, and Roberts Garage.

Highland High School cheerleaders form the familiar breast cancer awareness ribbon with their pom pons during pink night held during the varsity basketball games on Feb. 6. Canton High School held purple night Feb. 10 for cancer aware-ness. The two schools had fundraisers and sold t-shirts to support cancer awareness.

This is an annual event for both schools, and the community has always shown their support with these events. Highland and Canton fans wore various shades of pink and purple, and the High-land basketball team wore pink uniforms during their game Tuesday night.

The Buckin’ Bull Sa-loon recently opened for business in downtown Canton at 306 Lewis Street. The restaurant and bar has a unique feature, not found anywhere else in the tri-state area, cus-tomers can ride a mechan-ical bull.

Owners Ron and Tami McCullough wanted to bring to Canton something different that would attract customers from all over the area as well as being a fun spot for local resi-dents. Ron McCullough has always wanted to own a bar and Tami liked the movie Urban Cowboy, that features a mechani-cal bull, so they decided to add the feature to their business.

The building was com-pletely gutted and remod-eled and the new business is decorated in a western theme. The restaurant of-fers home cooking with

a full menu. Breakfast is served beginning at 6 a.m. Daily lunch specials are offered along with a wide variety of menu choic-es including appetizers, steaks, fi sh, sandwiches, salads, etc. . The front sec-tion is a restaurant type at-mosphere and is also non-smoking. Diners will be served in both areas and bar drinks are also avail-able in both areas. Cathy Lewis is the restaurant manager and several of the employees from the Camo Cafe have begun working at the Buckin’ Bull.

For those with a hearty appetite, the Challenge Burger is a three pound ground chuck patty served with eight slices of cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles, on a ten inch bun that is surrounded by three pounds of fries. If a per-son can eat the Challenge Burger plate within thirty minutes, it’s free, and their photo with be posted on the wall. The restaurant needs about an hour notice

to prepare the burger.The nightclub area fea-

tures a large cedar bar, Amish made wooden tables and seating, sev-eral fl at screen TVs, and every Friday night the mechanical bull is avail-able for customers to ride. The bull is surrounded by a 16 x 16 foot, three foot high infl atable area. Riders can try their skills, from the novice level to the professional level. The extremely realistic bull has real cowhide and leather saddle area. The bull is designed for safety, with rubber horns and the head pointed down to pre-vent injuries. An operator starts and stops the rides and all rides are monitored by the operator. Another fun game is the boxing machine which measures strength.

Several fun events are planned, including pay per view events. Wednesdays will feature karaoke, this Thursday ladies ride the bull for free and Saturday night a Mardi Gras party will have beads and a cos-tume contest.

The McCulloughs also own the Cowboy Gun Sup-ply Co. Their combined family includes three chil-dren. Ron has been in the trucking business for over 20 years and has his own trucking company. Tami recently left her position as bookkeeper at County Market to focus on the Buckin’ Bull, but she will still fi ll in at County Mar-ket when needed.

The owners and the staff at the Buckin’ Bull invite everyone to come and experience the new attraction in Canton and look forward to serving the community. The phone number is (573) 288- BULL.

A paltry 8.4 of the reg-istered voters in Lewis County participated in last week’s presidential prefer-ence primary.

It should be of little sur-prise the largest percent-age of voters came from the Labelle area, which also had a $2.5 million water and sewer bond is-sue on the ballot.

Of the 6,528 regis-tered County voters, 553 went to the polls. The low turnout is due in part to Missouri’s election be-ing non-binding as far as Missouri party convention delegates.

Of the 550 registered LaBelle voters, 145 voted in the election, or 26.3 percent. LaGrange/May-wood had the lowest voter turnout with 1,380 regis-tered voters and 76 (or 5.5

percent) voting. That issue passed 74-56.

Statewide, the trends mirrored Lewis County’s with 7.98 percent of the voters going to the polls for a total of 326,274 votes were cast for one of the 15 listed presidential candi-dates in four party choices.

Republican Rick San-torum carried every Mis-souri County on the Republican side of 10 can-didates and had 136,988 55.2 percent of the Repub-lican vote. Democrat in-cumbent Barrack Obama had 64,388 votes (or 88.3 percent of the Democrat votes). Obama also carried all Missouri counties. The lone Libertarian candidate James Ogle carried about half the state for his party with 508 votes. The oth-er 456 Libertarian votes were for “uncommitted” delegates.

Lewis County Lady Landowner Workshop to be held

University of Missouri Extension and the Lewis County Soil and Water Conservation District would like to invite all women landowners to the Lady Landowner Work-shop on March 13 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 pm at the Monticello United Methodist Church. The agency recognizes that the number of women helping in the management of land in Northeast Missouri is a growing number. Topics to be presented include: NRCS and Farm Service Agency programs, Farm Leases and Rental Rates, and Equitable Ways To Transfer Non-titled Prop-erty in Families.

There is a no cost to attend and lunch will be provided. Please RSVP by March 9. Interested persons may call 573-767-5273.

Below: Mark Wolf takes a shot on the mechanical bull. The mechanical bull is only one of the features that the Buckin’ Bull will offer. The business plans to have pay-per-view events, karaoke, and other special events.

A new attraction to Canton is a mechanical bull at the Buckin’ Bull. Customers can try their luck riding the bull and having fun.

Yeah, you’re back! And I

didn’t even have to sit up and beg.

I’ve got to practice

some serious wag because I’m going to introduce you to a

stoic canine Walt and I came across in St. Louis. A 21-gun salute to Sergeant Dick, an American Staffordshire Terrier, mascot of the St. Louis Grays, a militia involved in the Camp Jackson incident.

An impressive portrait of Sarge hangs in the Missouri His-tory Museum in St. Louis, a city where he’s got roots as deep as the Mississippi. That river flows through St. Louis from the site of the first Civil War skir-mish west of the Mississippi at Camp Jackson.

At the start of the Civil War, Missouri was as mixed up as a pup without a pedi-gree. Was the state Union or Confeder-ate? Missouri was a slave state and it was a Border State, one of five whose borders touched both a Confederate and a “free” state. (Free states were those that didn’t hanker to slavery.)

Militias, like the one Sergeant Dick was in, were like today’s National Guard—keeping citizens safe and providing de-fense. The groups were proud of the way they looked in uniform, strutting their stuff during formations. The St. Louis Grays marched in parades with Sergeant Dick doing double-time. The regimental pooch loved his role, until the Camp Jackson incident, May 10, 1861.

Back then Missouri’s top leader was Gov. Claiborne F. Jackson. He claimed he wanted Missouri to remain in the Union, but actually he wanted the state to go Confederate. The governor mustered (which means gath-ered) militia from across Missouri. The St. Louis Grays answered his call.

Crafty Jackson wanted to take over an arsenal in St. Louis where guns and mu-nitions were thought to be stored. Some claimed control of the arsenal meant

control of St. Louis, and con-trol of St. Louis meant control of Missouri.

The Union had a lion at their helm—Capt. Nathaniel Lyon, the Union’s commanding officer at the arsenal. He got wind of Jack-son’s plan and raised a pro-Union militia,

the Home Guard, primarily composed of U.S. citizens recently arrived from Ger-many. As slick as you please, Lyon and his men moved the munitions and guns to Illinois.

Then, as legend has it, Lyon dressed like a woman and snuck into Camp Jackson to spy on the St. Louis Grays. The next day he and his Home Guard and regular army troops took over Camp Jackson without so much as a fight. The Grays didn’t want to surrender, but they knew they were hopelessly outnumbered.

Word of the incident spread like gos-sip at an ice cream social. The hearsay inflamed tempers in a crowd gathered to watch Lyon escort the militia he’d cap-

tured at Camp Jackson through the St. Louis streets on their long march back to the arsenal. It’s believed Ulysses S. Grant and William T. Sherman, who soon joined the Union, were among those watching the procession.

They didn’t witness a pretty scene. Imag-ine if your team lost in soccer and the winners marched you in front of a bunch of hecklers making fun of you for losing, or in the case of the Southern sympathiz-ers, because of what they believed in.

Tempers flared as the crowd grew in size. A mob scene developed. No one knows who fired the first shot—does blame matter when it comes to sacrificing lives?

All Sergeant Dick reported was a deafen-ing shot followed by repeated staccatos. He saw people drop to the ground, oth-ers scatter like chipmunks seeking cover. More than 24 people were killed, most of them civilians, with triple that number injured.

How had Missouri come to this, violence in the streets—peace-loving folks draw-ing guns on one another? The city’s fate was sealed. St. Louis would be Union; in the coming year all of Missouri followed suit.

In addition to the special cancellation stamp and the Shrine of Saint Patrick, visitors will fi nd a new event in St. Patrick this year - Irish Road Bowl-ing. Irish Road Bowling is an ancient game, played for more than 300 years in County Armagh in North-ern Ireland and in County Cork in Southern Ireland. The best description of game is that it is like golf-ing with a cannonball and a good sense of humor.

Irish Road Bowling consists of a ball, called a “bowl.” It is made out of steel and weighs 28 ounc-es, heavy enough to pick up speed yet small enough for any person to handle.

Teams of four compete, taking turns throwing the bowl as far as they can to get it across the fi nish line. Scored like golf, the fewest number of shots from the start to the fi nish line wins. Teammates not throwing at the time go 20-30 yards down the road

to mark the desired pathof the bowl. They stand like human croquet wick-ets, feet apart, straddlingthe perfect path to be tak-en to achieve maximumdistance. The game will take place on Highway 81 South, south of the St. Pat-rick city limits.

Teams of four people should register by sending an email to [email protected] withnames and contact infor-mation by Monday, March 5. All participants mustbe 21 years of age or olderand participants and spec-tators are encouraged todress in spring regalia andIrish green. Teams will beprovided with all essentialequipment which includesthe bowl, scorecard, andchalk. There is a fee to participate. Participantsare welcome to bring theirown rolling coolers andbeverages. A maximum of20 teams can participate. For more information, call217-242-5593.

The Press-News Jour-nal experienced communi-cation problems at the fi rst of the week.

A fund drive started by the Lewis County Extension Council has raised $900 as of Tues-day morning, and re-ceived several verbal commitments. Accord-ing to Barry Link of the Extension Service, residents have until March 31 to contribute to the fund-raiser for the Extension Service. At a student assembly in Canton, multiple is-sues were discussed by three legislators: U.S. Congressman Harold Volkmer, State Sena-tor Norma Merrell, and State Representative Steve Waters. Some of the issues discussed were the clean water bill, drinking and driv-ing, a highway bill, and varied student ques-tions.



The William A. Herington Memorial Lounge will be dedi-cated before the 8 p.m. game with Drury Col-lege Friday. The lounge honors the former Wild-cat coach who died be-fore the opening of the 1965-66 season.



Turner Rogers, Heart Fund Campaign Chair-man of Lewis County, today announced the organization for con-ducting this year’s drive throughout the county was nearly complete. Mr. Rogers empha-sized the high point of the February Heart Fund Campaign would be Heart Sunday, Feb. 25, when scores of vol-unteers will conduct a

door-to-door collection. Gary D. Price, 20, a Hannibal student at Cul-ver-Stockton College, was pronounced dead on ar-rival at Blessing Hospital in Quincy last Thursday. Price collapsed in the college swimming pool Thursday and was taken to the Blessing Hospital when he failed to respond to artifi cial respiration and oxygen administered by college personnel. An au-topsy revealed that Price had died of pneumonia caused by an upper respi-ratory virus infection. No water was found in Price’s lungs and his heart was not involved, the coroner said. A telegram from Rep-resentative Clarence Can-non has given notifi cation that work will be started on the government levee early in April, but it will take approximately two years to complete. The telegram reads, “Invita-tions will be issued by the U.S. Engineers District at Rock Island, Ill., about Feb. 20 for a fl ood con-trol project of the Missis-sippi river at Canton. Bids scheduled to be opened about March 22. Work to be started within 15 days after receipt of notice to proceed and completed by June 30, 1964. The ap-proximate value of pro-posed construction is one million dollars.”



The merchants and professional fi rms stunt show, given as a Cham-ber of Commerce benefi t Friday night, was much appreciated as an enter-tainment by those present. Bank of Canton is put-ting in a new Burrough’s bookkeeping machine that is a marvel of ingenuity. The machine counts total checks, keeps list of out-of-town checks, lists indi-vidual amounts of checks, proves itself, and does about everything with checks. Yet the hand of man must start it on its way. The condition of the fi l-ter plant of the town water works is such that we ad-vise people of Canton as a

precautionary measure to boil their drinking water. For some time tests have not been approved. It is hoped the new plant will be completed before the old one gives away.

85 Years AgoThe Lewis County


R.L. West of Monticel-lo, district manager of Il-linois Life Insurance Co., has transferred his offi ce from Monticello to Quin-cy. Mr. West was in hard luck one day the past week when attempting to reach Quincy for a morning en-gagement. He drove to Taylor but found the Tay-lor-Quincy road impas-sible. Comforting himself with the thought he could at least go down by train, he returned to LaGrange, only to fi nd that No. 12 was four hours late. Mak-ing one more effort, he left for Taylor to catch the OK train but his car became mired in the mud this side of Taylor and there he sat and watched the train go by while waiting his turn to be pulled out of the mud.



Dr. Ray Mercer real-ized nearly $2.65 each for 21 full-blooded Buff Orphington capons which he shipped to New York. Constantz and Hils also made a shipment of birds a little light in weight which averaged them a little over $2 each. LaGrange will have a new “boat house” at the wharf this spring if the Carnival City Packet Co., which operated the White Collar Line steamers, car-ries out its present plans. The old warehouse is be-ing torn down by Cloud Rice who purchased it from the Streckfus Com-pany, successor to the Diamond Jo Company. Miss Esther Batschlet began her school again last week after the scarlet fever scare was over and is now making her home

with Mrs. Frank Job un-til her sister’s family is through with the fever.



This session of congress will exceed in appropria-tions any previous Con-gress in the history of this country by $100,000,000. It is predicted this will be a billion dollar ses-sion, the fi rst in history. The fi rst marble game for 1907 to be played at this place was “called” Sunday immediately af-ter three Sunday schools had dismissed. There was a large attendance, the game being played on Main Street, between the court house and Wood-worth’s store. The weather has been very favorable so far this week and the excitement as to who is champion continues, though “Jeppy” Million is said to be leading with his father a close second. At a meeting of the stock-holders of the Citizen’s Telephone Company held at the court house Feb. 16 a committee of fi ve was selected to meet with a committee of fi ve from the N.E. Missouri Telephone Company in Monticello Feb. 28, to see if an agree-ment can be reached by which the two companies can consolidate or merge.



Chas. P. Lower of Maywood has received $2,168.67 back pension, a very nice haul at this time of scarcity of money. Scarlet fever has bro-ken up the Lay school near Gilead and the Tay-lor school near Maywood. The West Quincy Turn-pike sold at public auction Monday and was pur-chased for $800 by Capt. Frank Sherman, who also purchased 60 acres of land surrounding the ferry landing on the Missouri side.

It’s been almost two weeks since that weather prognosticator Punx-sutawney Phil, saw his shadow and there by pre-dicted the NFL season was almost over. (The ground-hog didn’t fare well on picking the Super Bowl winner, however, as he went for the Kansas City Chiefs.) Although Phil has better public relations than his furry cohorts, there are a bunch of them in North America, per Wikipedia.

Phil, a Pennsylvania na-tive, has agreement from other groundhogs, accord-ing to Wikipedia (states are in parenthesis): Sir Walter Wally, (NC); Balzac Billy - Alberta, Calgary, Can-ada; Western Maryland Murray (MD); Grady the Groundhog (NC); Queen Charlotte (NC); Uni (PA); Mount Joy Minnie (PA): Fred (Quebec, Canada); and Malverne (NY) Mel.

Like a church meet-ing or political gathering, there is always another opinion. These follow-ing groundhogs predict an early spring: Staten Is-land (NY) Chuck - (a.k.a. Charles G. Hogg); Gener-al Beauregard Lee (GA); Wiarton Willie (Ontario, Canada); Buckeye Chuck (OH); Nibbles (NC); Mor-timer (NC); Chattanooga (TN) Chuck; Patty Pa-goda (PA); French Creek (WV) Freddie; Woodstock (IL) Willie; Lawrenceville (PA) Lucy; Stormy Mar-mot (CO); Smith Lake Jake (AL); Sir Thomas Hastings (NE); Sutton Sammy - Sutton, Ontario Canada; Gus (GA); Octor-aro Orphie (PA); Dunkirk (NY) Dave; Chuckles (CT); Wynter the Ground-hog (WI); Dover (PA)

Doug; Susquehanna Sherman (PA); Poor Richard (PA); Jimmy the Groundhog (WI); Holts-ville (NY) Hal; Shuber-nacadie (Nova Scotia ) Sam.

The differences can’t just be geographic.

Let’s look at the op-tions again: it’s either six more weeks of winter weather, or spring is right around the corner, say, perhaps six weeks away. If any of these guys are right, the Weather Chan-nel staff may start get-ting nervous. Of course by picking two general options, one side will be right.

Many people will depend on prognostica-tor Wall Calendar to tell them the start of spring.

What do the rodents do for the other seasons change?

All this tells us one thing. During winter, there are a lot of people (and groundhogs), which have a bad case of cabin fever.

You may be wondering about the Lewis County groundhog “Farm Fresh.” Unfortunately, his career was cut short when he ended up starring in a re-cent sausage and pancake event.

Burrell Smith is a Lew-is County treasure. He is a man who has served his country and takes pride in his community. In his nine-ty plus years he has seen the whole world change. He can drive around Mon-ticello and remember plac-es and friends that are long gone. The precious memo-ries are always with him and he will gladly share his

recollections. He grew up in a time

that no longer exists. Imag-ine standing on the streets of Monticello in the 1920s and 30s. The courthouse stands proudly in the mid-dle of town. There are few cars, most people travel by horse and buggy. There are no cell phones, televisions or computers. Everyone knows their neighbor. The town is a busy place. It is a strong community with churches that are full on Sunday and happy chil-

dren attend the Monticello School.

The Monticello native was born in May of 1918 and still resides in the small town. He is a WWII veteran, was one of the fi rst linemen for Lewis County Rural Electric Co-operative, a businessman, mayor, lodge member, volunteer, lover of old cars. He is a devoted fam-ily man, community lead-er, friend and a Christian. With a mind like a history book, he was willing to share some of his recollec-tions of Monticello back in the day.

He is the son of George and Elizabeth Amanda Smith. His father was from Scotland County and his mother from Lewis County. His father was sheriff of Lewis Coun-ty from 1920-1924 and 1928-1932, in those days a sheriff couldn’t serve consecutive terms. They lived in the same building that housed the jail, and his mother would cook the meals for anyone in-carcerated. Berle would visit with the prisoners. Inmates were usually someone they knew and the crimes were usually

for chicken stealing, moon shining and things of that nature. At times they might have six or eight prisoners. Inmates in jail could become trustees and were expected to work on a farm. Berle was a little reluctant to share the fact that a trustee taught him how to drive and he has been driving ever since. He was about 12 or 13 years old at the time. One of his fi rst jobs around the age of 14 was driving the county assessor, Johnny Johnson, around the coun-ty to people’s property. At that time the assessor

would have to go to a per-son’s property to do the as-sessment. Johnson didn’t drive and he hired Smith to take him around. A driv-ers license was not needed back then, if you could reach the pedals and steer, you were able to drive on the road. He recalls John-son being a good judge of horses and the process of going to all the properties would take three or four months.

Monticello in the early 1930s was a small thriving town. As the county seat, the courthouse was a place of activity. Smith remem-

bers a chain all aroundthe courthouse used to tiethe horses up while peo-ple conducted business.Some days there would beover fi fty horses hitchedup. Along with the court-house, the town consistedof two restaurants, twogrocery stores, two feedstores, a garage, mill, threehotels, school, post offi ce,doctor’s offi ce, law offi c-es, barber shop and a bank,which was the MonticelloTrust Company, still doingbusiness today as the Bank

Proud to bring you: “Recollections of Berle Smith”

of Monticello. Besides all the town folk, people would come in from the country to do their trading, bringing their eggs and cream, and conduct busi-ness with the local mer-chants. Everyone knew each other so doing busi-ness in town was a social event.

He remembers the town showing outside movies in a vacant lot near the courthouse. A big treat for him was when the family traveled to Quincy, driv-ing across the railroad bridge, because it was the only bridge, the Quincy Memorial Bridge hadn’t been built yet. The fam-ily went to a movie, at the Washington Theatre and although he doesn’t re-member the name of the fi lm, he does remember the star was Al Jolson and it was the fi rst “talkie” he saw and he thought it was just great. He does remem-ber the sound not match-ing up with the star’s lip movements.

His brother-in-law, Roy Keller, who married his sister Alma, was a World War I vet who brought back a Missouri Army Saddle Mule bank to young Burrell. He would save his pennies and fi ll the bank and then go to the Monticello Trust Com-pany. Barely reaching the counter, he would deposit the money. Keller was one of 18 men in the fi rst class for the Missouri Highway Patrol.

The town population was made up of many

Recollections Of The Past: Continued From Page A6

good people. Several were colorful characters.

The local barber was Raymond Orrcull. When a strange car came into town, the barber would immediately stop doing a shave or a haircut on someone and run outside to look at the car. Tom Johnson was a lawyer. Prosecuting attorney was Walter Hilbert. The doc-tor was Dr. Marchand. The Lindell Hotel stood where the Bank of Monticello is located today. Smith re-called a comical scene in town. Tude Selby was a local black man who lived in a house that was part log cabin. Tude would go to the local restaurants and pick up their waste to slop his hogs. Tude and Hilbert would put on an act every time they met in the street of circling each other and pretending like they were going to fi ght. Mrs. Legg was a nice older lady who wrote articles for the newspaper about daily life in Monticello. Sty and Hocker Breeding were good ole boys who were local handymen. Chick Dickson was deputy sher-iff and also custodian at the courthouse.

There once was an opera house that was lat-er used as an ice house, men would cut ice from the nearby creek and kept the ice cold by layering sawdust between the cut blocks. The old Caldwell mill was located north of town and farmers would bring their grain to the mill by horse and wagon.

The Masonic Lodge 58 AF&AM still stands prominently in town and has a rich history of its own. Smith has been an active member for over 70 years, holding every offi ce through the years, and was secretary for 20 years. Dues were three or four dollars in his fi rst years, and some members would bring loads of wood to trade for dues fees. The lodge would and still does help people who have fell on hard times, mainly women and orphans. He comments that it is a very good organization. Just a few of the many members over the years included Farron Jenkins, Jake Het-zler, Alec Leslie, T.R. Legg.

There was a larger pop-ulation of African Ameri-cans living in Monticello back then. Most of the men would work as farm hands and the women would mainly do domes-tic help. Goldie Buckner worked for his mother and helped take care of the large family.

The small community had four churches, Baptist, Methodist, Christian and a church which black peo-ple attended. The Chris-tian Church in Monticello was where in early life he attended Sunday School and Church and continued to be a member until low membership forced him to close the church. With great sadness, he says it was one of the hardest things he ever had to do was closing the church

that he had grown up in. He currently attends the Methodist Church in Mon-ticello and goes every Sun-day and is always dressed in a suit and tie.

In the 1920s and 30s, hard times had fell across America, but Smith said his family always had plenty to eat, because they raised their own food. His mother always had a gar-den and they raised hogs and chickens. He said at the time he didn’t really realize what poor condi-tions were, everyone was having hard times, that’s just the way it was. As common in those days, he had many siblings. Burrell is the youngest of six sis-ters and one brother, but he says he doesn’t remember ever wanting or needing anything.

The fair grounds were east of Monticello. The event always drew large crowds and everyone dressed up to go to the fair. It was a fun social occasion and there was a large am-phitheater. People came to view the livestock, es-pecially the saddle horses. Smith was proud to show his pony, Prince. Prince was black with four white feet. The ladies would show off their fl owers and quilts and of course their canning, gardening and cooking skills.

Smith attended Monti-cello High School, which was located where the ASC Offi ce now stands. He became the bus driver at an early age and needed a chauffeurs license so they had him write down that he was 18 instead of 17. Some of the children he drove to school were Nor-man Merrell, who would later become a senator, Donnie, Delorus and Jim-my Burke, Russell Heind-selman, Winston Little and Paul and Lucretia Hinton. His fi rst Model A Ford bus held eight to ten kids and he later bought a bus for less than a thousand dol-lars that held 21 children. The high school closed in 1946 and the grade school continued until 1970.

He purchased the fi ll-ing station in 1937, oper-ating it until he went into the service. This was a full service gas station, as most were in those days. When you pulled up to the pump, Burrell would pump the

gas, check the oil, fi ll the radiator, and wash all the windows. Gas was twelve cents a gallon, cigarettes were four cents a pack. The soda machine had to be cleaned every night, be-cause during the delivery the bottles would get very dusty because the delivery trucks weren’t enclosed as they are now and the con-densation in the soda ma-chine would make the dust turn into mud and make the machine a mess. Soda came in glass bottles and there were only a couple of choices, no diet, mainly just plain Coke or Pepsi. A bottle of ice cold soda would cost a nickel.

The station was open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and if someone came in after hours there was a call button. Burrell lived next to the station and if a customer came in the middle of the night he would get dressed and go over to serve the person. One night, this ole boy pulled up, and Burrell got dressed and went to help him. He wouldn’t say who the guy was, but he said he was known around town for being a little tight with his money. The man was driving a cattle truck, full of cattle and when Burrell gets there he asks him to check his tires. The man had a lantern between his feet for heat. Smith checked the four tires and told the man he was done, the guy rolled the win-dow down an inch or two and said “Did you get the spare? So Burrell crawled underneath the truck, full of cattle and their waste dripping down on him, checked the spare, and when he was done the man drove off without a thank you or acknowledgment. This was a rare incident, as Smith says most people were friendly and cour-teous. He made a lot of friends and was a trusted businessman. He sold the station after seven years and went into the service. He was in the Army, at-tached to the Air Force, during World War II.

Returning from the war, he started working for REC, (Rural Electric Cooperative) in Decem-ber of 1945 and continued until retiring in Septem-ber 1980. He said one of his greatest pleasures was

seeing people turning on a lamp in their home after he had brought electricity to them. He attends gath-erings with other retired REC workers. REC will celebrate their 75 year an-niversary in 2012.

He was on the Monti-cello town board for over 40 years, serving as may-or several times. He is a member of the American Legion in Lewistown and has always been a proud supporter of his commu-nity. He has been involved in several organization throughout his life.

He married Ruth Ad-ams on Oct. 12, 1939. They had two children, Bill and Ruth Ann, four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Smith was always inter-ested in cars and is known around the community for his Model T. He has re-stored seven Model T cars and currently has one that he has owned for forty-fi ve years and can be seen driving around town and in local parades. He and Ruth went on over twenty national tours in their old cars, each 500 miles, and made many, many friends. They enjoyed their time traveling around the coun-try. Sadly, his wife passed away in 1998. Burrell vis-its the Monticello Cem-etery everyday.

Smith has a good mem-ory and has many pictures of Monticello that show places that no longer ex-ist. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and recollec-tions of days gone by. He likes to read and is very interested in history. He has experienced more changes in technology than most people can ever imagine. He was born at a time when horses were used more than cars and today, thanks to a grand-son, he can use a com-puter. He is a proud father and grandfather. His love for his family, his country and his community is very evident.

Future editions of the Press-News Journal will feature more of his incred-ible stories about Monti-cello, his work as a line-man for REC, his old cars and his WWII service and any other stories he wants to share.

Monticello Yesterday and Today: Burrell Smith has seen many changes in Mon-ticello in the last century. In the top photo, many businesses were present. Smith’s mother owned the car in the foreground, a 1937 Pontiac. Walking down the street from left to right are a grocery store, next is a little lunch cart that held sandwiches, soups and pies, a feed store, the Monticello Trust Company which does business today as the Bank of Monticello; a barber shop, post offi ce and a lawyer’s offi ce. The bottom photo shows the same street as it looks today.

The Highland High School cheerleading squad has added two male members this year. Ty Clay and Kyle Snyder, both sophomores, are members of the varsity cheerleading squad. As most squads are usually made up of girls, this has been a new and exciting way to show school spirit.

Heather Mears, cheerlead-ing coach, said the young men tried out for the team last year and she said at fi rst she was a little hesitant, and didn’t know if they would put forth the ef-fort and dedication needed, but told them to show up for prac-tice and it would be on a trial basis. The boys told her that they wanted to stay active dur-ing an off season and since nei-ther of them plays basketball, they wanted to try cheerlead-ing for the athletic condition-ing aspects. Ty is a member of the football and track teams and Kyle plays baseball. Ty Clay has a twin sister, Keita, on the varsity cheerleading squad.

Mears said that the boys showed her the commitment it takes to be a cheerleader and they are now a valuable part of the squad. They worked well with the girls and they have all become a team.The boys add strength and height to the squad which is a bonus when doing fl oor cheers. Mega phones are used by the boys, while the girls have the traditional pompoms. The boys wear collared shirts and long dark shorts.

Kyle and Ty said they both have received a little teasing from the student body, but usu-ally it is all in good fun. They consider cheerleading a sport with takes a lot of athletic skill. They wanted everyone to know just because they have joined a

sport that in many places only girls participate, that it has nothing to do with their mas-culinity. In fact, they both have welcomed the opportunity to meet many girls from cheer-

leading squads of other schools. Both boys are outgoing and

witty and seem dedicated to their sport. They said the cheer-leading experience builds con-fi dence and both agree that it

takes a lot of dedication and hard work to be a cheerleader.

Both of the young men say they like sports and hanging out with their friends. They each plan on trying out for

the squad next year and encour-age other interested young men to try out. Most major colleges have several male members on their cheerleading squads.

Pheasants Forever banquet is scheduled for Feb. 25

Rivers chapter to spend tens of thousands of dol-lars towards its mission in Lewis County alone.

No other organization in Lewis County does more for wildlife habitat and conservation educa-tion than the Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants For-ever. Nationally, Pheas-ants Forever and Quail Forever, are the fastest growing conservation or-ganizations in America. Very few organizations are as fi scally responsi-ble as Pheasants Forever. With ninety percent of its national revenue put directly into its mission, PF ranks in the top fi ve percent of all charities in America, according to Charity Navigator.

Dept. of Ag, USDA-NRCS Launch High Tunnel Program

Loans, Reimbursement available for Missouri Producers Growing Fresh Vegetables, Fruits and Herbs.

Missouri farmers interested in growing fresh veg-etables, fruits, herbs and other produce during win-ter months can receive loans and reimbursement for installing high tunnels on their property. The high tunnel program, a partnership between federal and state agencies, assists producers in diversifying ex-isting operations by expanding the produce-growing season and by reducing the fi nancial barriers to pro-ducers building new operations.

High tunnels are unheated greenhouses that can increase production as much as three times by in-creasing the growing season for fruit and vegeta-bles. The tunnels typically cost between $4,000 and $6,000 each to purchase and install.

“The new High Tunnel Loan Program is one of

the many outstanding tools the Department of Agri-culture makes available to our producers as we move Missouri agriculture forward,” said Missouri’s Di-rector of Agriculture Dr. Jon Hagler. “Through this partnership, we are able to reduce barriers for Mis-souri farmers building their businesses while provid-ing communities with fresh, wholesome, locally-grown produce.”

Last week, the Missouri Agriculture and Small

Business Development Authority (MASBDA) vot-ed to provide short term loans to Missouri produc-ers approved to receive a cost-share reimbursement through the USDA NRCS EQIP Seasonal High Tun-nel System Initiative or the EQIP Organic Initiative. Producers may combine the loan with their partici-pation in the USDA-NRCS programs, reducing pro-ducers’ out of pocket costs for purchasing and con-structing high tunnels.

Applications for the loan program are available online via the Missouri Department of Agriculture website. Producers may also contact their local US-DA-NRCS offi ce for application information and forms. For more information about the Missouri De-partment of Agriculture and its programs, visit the Department online at http://www.mda.mo.gov.

Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes because Treasure Hunters are coming to Canton . Event specialists will be in town examining antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. While they will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices. Buyers for the event have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of

gold coming to the event and for good reason. Record gold prices have event guests cashing in on broken jewelry or jewelry they don’t wear anymore with our “fair and honest” purchase offers. Treasure Hunters encourage anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that’s gold. If a guest

is not sure if something is gold, bring it anyway and the event staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold. Other types of items event specialists hope to see include old toys and train sets. Archie Davis, THR’s toy specialist spoke about some of the top toys getting great offers. “Old tin windup toys from the late 1800’s through the 1960’s are in great demand now,” said Davis, “Especially those that are character related. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, the Flintstones or any character toys are sought. Old Buddy L toys from the 1920’s to 1960’s are in demand.” Basically any toys made before 1970 are wanted. Train sets made by Lionel, American Flyer, Marklin and others have the potential to fetch a large sum. Davis also stressed, “Toys with boxes and in mint condition bring sensational prices. Most of the toys that come

to the event are not in perfect shape but can still bring good prices from collectors.” When specialist Tom Fuller was asked what he enjoyed most about

working at the event, he was quick to answer, “Old coins and paper currency. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go

through the change in my parents grocery store looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300.00. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1970 are most sought after by collectors. Coins made before 1970 are 90% silver and valuable because of the

silver content or could be worth even more if one happens to be a rare date. “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the event from wheat pennies to buffalo nickels, which are valuable from one coin to an entire truckload. See you at THR’s Treasure Hunters Roadshow.” said Fuller.

Got Gold? Next week, visitors can cash in on antiques, collectibles, gold, silver, coins or just about anything that is old.

Farmer Wisdom

“Always take a good look at

what you’re about to eat. It’s

not so important to know

what it is, but it’s critical to

know what it was.”

THE FFA CREED

I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds - achieve-ments won by the resent and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work effi ciently and think clearly with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, ad in the ability of progressive agricultur-ists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an infl u-ence in my home and community which will stand sold for my part in that inspiring task.

Highland Ag students spent many hours during the spring and fall building a retaining wall/fl owerbed around the HHS Greenhouse. Students used plants grown in the greenhouse to landscape the front section. This project will be continued this spring. The Greenhouse class holds a Poinsettia Sale in the winter and sells bedding plants and vegetables in the spring.

The 2011-2012 Lewis County C-1 FFA Offi cers are Sentinel Lane Clary, Treasurer Dylan Waterman, President Julie Schultz, Vice President Nicole Kraft, Secretary Keli Adams and Reporter Isa-bella Lay.

The Lewis County C-1 FFA has spent the last year working on the FFA mission to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural educa-tion. Throughout the year members have attended several conferences to develop their ability to serve their school and com-munity in leadership roles. Members have attended the Missouri State FFA Conven-tion in Columbia, the LEAD Conference in Shelbina, Farm Bureau Leadership Day in Jefferson City, Area II Leadership Con-ference in Queen City, and more. Com-munity service has become an integral component of earning FFA Degrees and members have been incorporating group and individual service opportunities. FFA members spend many hours preparing for the Lewis County Fair, constructing door decorations for the residents of LaBelle Manor and working with the schools pa-per recycling program as well as several other projects.

FFA members are encouraged to par-ticipate in Career Development Events to help them explore different areas of agri-culture. The chapter participated in events in Brunswick, Centralia, Shelbyville, Kirksville and Columbia with many teams competing. Members have also been suc-cessful exhibiting their SAE projects at various fairs and earning higher degrees. Craig Spidle was a recipient of the State FFA Degree this year and Sara Hoffman received the American FFA Degree. At-tending Bradford Field Day provide mem-bers with the opportunity to explore a vari-ety of career options from shrimp farming to Agri-tourism all in one stop. The past several years the chapter has used Farm Bureau’s “Thank a Farmer” promotion to help students at the high school realize food value with a grocery cost guessing game.

FFA provides many social opportunities for members. Monthly meetings include activities one of the most enjoyed is the white elephant gift exchange in Decem-ber. Many members have participated in our chapter Barnwarming and Area Barn-warming this year. The chapter also par-ticipated in the Area III Battle of the Chap-ters which is held at Long Branch Lake. FFA members have also spent a great deal of time participating in trap shoots, com-peting against many other schools in the area.

FFA members are looking into the com-ing year with big plans for exciting and engaging opportunities to help the chapter grow and thrive. With a focus on the FFA Week theme “I Believe,” we will focus on preparing our members for their future en-deavors.

Canton FFA Year in Review

The Canton Agriculture Power class is restoring an Allis Chalm-ers WD tractor donated by Bill Taylor. The upper level agricultural class has been working all year to restore this antique tractor. The students are responsible for tearing down the tractor, rebuilding the engine, and painting the tractor. The students have been busy sanding and cleaning on the frame of the tractor while Jere Taylor has been helping the students learn how to rebuild an engine. The student have really enjoyed the class and look forward to seeing the tractor up and running again.

To support the local FFA club, several members of the community have formed the FFA Alumni Club. This club’s mission will be to support the Can-ton FFA , provide scholar-ships and help fund some of the many fi eld trips and events Canton FFA mem-bers are involved with.

Upcoming Annual Livestock Contest and Workshop

The Missouri Livestock Grading and Judging Workshop and Contest will be held Sat. March 10 at the University of Missouri’s Trowbridge Livestock Center in Columbia to provide youth and adults better livestock evaluation tools. The 2012 event marks 23 years for the program.

The workshop, open to grades nine or lower, provides youth involved in 4-H and FFA programs an educational opportunity to learn the process and technique of grading livestock. The workshop is available to the fi rst 275 youth registrants.

Each 4-H and FFA group may register up to 8 members for the workshop, who must be accompanied by an adult leader, parent or instructor.

The contest, open to all ages, is an opportunity to apply national grading standards and to receive feedback on an individual level. Traditional cattle, hog, sheep and goat judging will complete the competition, with trophies being awarded to participants excelling in specifi c skill and species contests.

A uniform system of grading slaughter cattle by USDA standardizes the production, marketing and distribution of livestock and meats. The Missouri Livestock Grading and Judging Workshop and Contest will help participants apply those standards to grading feeder and slaughter cattle.

Participants ages 21 and older will have the opportunity to qualify as a certifi ed livestock judge, which may lead to opportunities to judge future livestock competitions. The certifi ed livestock judges list will be made available to livestock show offi cials, activity organizers and the Missouri Association of Fairs and Festivals.

There is a fee to register. Registrations must be postmarked no later than Feb. 10, 2012. Registration forms are available online at mda.mo.gov or by calling (573) 751-5618. For more information about the Missouri Department of Agriculture and its programs, visit the Department online at mda.mo.gov.

Lewis County USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director John Wheeler, reminds producers that enrollment for the 2012 Direct and Counter-cy-clical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program began Jan. 23, and continues through June 1, 2012.

Wheeler said producers must sign a new contract an-nually for each of these programs and all signatures must be obtained by the deadline.

“We encourage producers to call and set up an ap-pointment to begin the enrollment process as soon as possible,” Wheeler said. “This will allow adequate time to obtain all necessary signatures before the June 1 deadline.”

The 2008 Farm Bill states that no 2012 advance di-rect payments for DCP and ACRE will be issued. Direct payments are paid at a rate established by statute and are expected to be made in October 2012.

For more information on the DCP or ACRE programs, or to schedule an appointment, please contact the Lewis County FSA offi ce at 573-767-5274 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.

Missouri Farm Bureau and the 113 county Farm Bu-reau organizations across the state declared February 5-11, Thank a Farmer Week!

A farmer’s role is often taken for granted in society. Thank a Farmer Week celebrates their contribution to human livelihood.

Farmers today grow more food while using fewer re-sources than any time in history. Thanks to technolo-gy and effi ciencies in agriculture, one U.S. farmer today can provide food and fi ber for 154 people, according to statistics from the United States Department of Agricul-ture’s Economic Research Service.

Agriculture is an important part of Lewis County’s economy. Farm businesses give back to the community in many ways while they produce food and fi ber for the world.

Thank a Farmer Week

Blessing performs 1000th heart surgeryBlessing Heart & Vascular Center staff performed the 1,000th open heart surgery at the Center on Feb. 2. The fi rst open heart procedure was performed at Blessing eight years earlier, on Jan. 20, 2004. Both the fi rst and 1,000th open heart surgeries were performed by James Kase, MD, cardiothoracic sur-geon and medical director of Cardiovascular Operating Room and Cardiovascular Unit, Blessing Heart & Vas-cular Center.

Dr. Kase practiced in Kansas City, MO, and the state of Maryland for more than 15 years before being re-cruited to help open the Blessing Heart & Vascular Cen-ter program.

“Advances are made in heart care every day,” said Debbie Heinecke, RN, administrative director, Bless-ing Heart & Vascular Center. “From less invasive tech-niques in heart surgery to new procedures in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory and aggressive community educational campaigns, our goal is the same as it was eight years ago and our commitment is stronger than ever - to work with the people of this region against America’s Number One Killer, heart disease.”

Missouri Family Physician of the Year

The Missouri Academy of Family Physicians is now seeking nominations for the “Missouri Family Physician of the Year” award.

Additional criteria for the award and a nomination form are available at www.mo-afp.org or may be requested by calling (573) 635-0830 or by emailing [email protected].

The deadline for nominations is March 15. Nominations may be mailed to MAFP, 722 West High Street, Jefferson City, MO 65101 or faxed to (573) 635-0148. The winner will be honored on June 23 during MAFP’s annual Awards & Installation luncheon.

Women and Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number-one kill-er of women but most women are too busy to think about that fact. However, women should think about it, because what women do each day in part deter-mines their risk for developing cardiovascular dis-ease and suffering its life-threatening consequences. Here are some other facts about women and cardiovas-cular disease that are surprising:

One in three women over the age of 20 has some form of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is the third most common cause of death among women ages 25 to 44 years old and two-thirds of women who have heart attacks never fully recover.

Worldwide, cardiovascular disease is the single most common cause of death among women, regardless of race and ethnicity. More women have strokes than men. According to the American Stroke Association, each year more than 100,000 women under the age of 65 in the United States will have a stroke.

Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attack in women. High blood pressure (hypertension) is also a cause of cardiovascular disease and roughly one third of adults in the United States have high blood pressure.Cardiovascular disease isn’t only about the heart. Wom-en are affected by a range of cardiovascular diseases. Often, cardiovascular disease in one part of the body puts a woman at higher risk of cardiovascular disease elsewhere in the body. That is, if a person has heart dis-ease, she is also at greater risk of stroke, for example. The best way to fi ght back is to understand how car-diovascular disease forms and how you can control risk factors.

Pictured are: Olivia Jarvis, Brianna Caldwell, and Laken Hugenberg (front row); Katie Gaus, Taylor Lubbert, and Emilie Rieffer, (second row); Halley Durst, Reagan Roberts, and Peyton Holder (back row). The team is coached by Darron Jarvis.

The Culver-Stockton College baseball team tried to rally late in both games of a season-opening doubleheader loss to Oklahoma Baptist University Friday afternoon.

In the opener, the Wildcats trailed 4-1 when they fashioned a rally against Bison closer Jesus Carlos. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases with one out for Sergio Hernandez.

C-SC was limited to fi ve hits in the game, by fi ve different players, and was guilty of 12 strikeouts of the 21 obtained by the Bison. Gene Nanney, in addition to Hernandez, drove in the other run for theWildcats.

C-SC scored fi ve times on four hits, two hit batsmen, a walk and an error. Andrew Quiles had a two run single in the inning, while Michael Pena and Conner Cramsey had a RBI single each. Nanney drove in theother run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

Pena collected two of the Wildcats’ six hits in game two. The Wildcats were issued two walks and struck out eight times in the game.

The Wildcats (0-2) were scheduled to play Oklahoma Baptist on Saturday, Feb. 11, but expected cold temperatures have cancelled those games that were slated to begin

Baker University jumped out to a 39-20 halftime lead and was never threatened in a 63-52 Heart of America Athletic Conference victory over the Culver-Stockton College men’s basketball team Saturday afternoon at Charles Field House.

Culver-Stockton shot just 28.6 percent from the fi eld in the fi rst half in falling behind. Things got better in the second 20 minutes as the Wildcats made 44 percent of their fi eld goal attempts; however, could not get any closer than the fi nal margin.

C-SC was paced by Jason Tucker with 15 points and six rebounds in 28 minutes of action. Dorian Hobbs was the next highest with seven points.

The Wildcats, who are 4-20 overall and 1-13 in the HAAC, will play Graceland University on Thursday, Feb. 16. Game time is set for 7:30 p.m. in Lamoni, Iowa.

The Culver-Stockton College women’s basketball team dropped its fi fth straight home game with a 67-61 loss to Baker University in Heart of America Athletic Conference action Saturday afternoon at Charles Field House.

Baker raced to a 32-26 halftime lead on the strength 44 percent (11-25) shooting in the opening period while the Lady Wildcats struggled to make 30 percent (9-30) of their shots.

The loss drops the Lady Wildcats into a tie for seventh place with Baker and one game ahead of ninth-place Graceland, who they play next.

Jessie Logsdon paced the Lady Wildcats with a season-high 21 points on 7 of 13 shooting. She made fi ve of seven free throws and two 3-pointers.

TEN RIVERS CHAPTER of LEWIS COUNTY

9th ANNUAL PHEASANTS FOREVER BANQUET

Th e Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants Forever

(PF) in Lewis County, MO will be hosting its

9th annual fund raising banquet on...

Feb. 25th at the Caldwell Building, 1.5 miles west of Canton on Hwy 16.

Th e event will feature live and silent auctions, raffl es, and games featuring

some of the fi nest wildlife art, guns, and outdoor merchandise, much of

which is exclusive to Pheasants Forever banquets.

Doors will open at 5:30 pm. and there will be a 16 oz. ribeye dinner with sides served to your table starting at 6:30 pm.

Th is banquet is one of the largest banquets of any wildlife organization in

the area.

100% of the proceeds from this event will be used to restore valuable wildlife

habitat, promote conservation education, and support youth organizations

in and around Lewis County. No other national conservation in America

has the power to spend 100% of its money in the community where it was

raised. Th at local control has allowed the Ten Rivers chapter to spend tens of

thousands of dollars towards its mission in Lewis County alone!

No other organization in Lewis County does more for wildlife habitat and

conservation education than the Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants Forever.
