Christian Church from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Feb. 20. There will be games for the children. Ten college students and two adult supervisors will be present. Pizza will be pro-

Farm Bureau Book Presentation

The Ten Rivers Chapter of Pheasants Forever (PF) in Lewis County, MO will be hosting its 12th annual fund raising banquet on...

Feb. 21 at the Caldwell Building, 1.5 miles west of Canton on Hwy 16.

The event will feature live and silent auctions, raffles, and games featuring some of the finest 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.

This 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. That 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.

Nationally, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, are the fastest growing conservation organizations in America. Very few organizations are as fiscally responsible as Pheasants Forever. With 90% of its national revenue put directly into its mission, PF ranks in the top 5% of all charities in America, according to Charity Navigator.

AROUND THE COUNTY

TW Accounting LLC TW Accounting LLC in LaGrange is owned by Mike Tompkins and Kerri Willing. Both owners are Certified Public Accountants and they have had an office in LaGrange since the late 1990s, after they purchased an income tax business from David and Phyllis Lantz. TW Accounting also has a full time office in Hannibal at 2929 Palmyra Road.

The business in LaGrange is mainly focused on income tax preparation, but they are also available for any type of accounting required, such as payroll, bookkeeping, etc.

They enjoy meeting and working with their local clients, many of whom had local income tax preparation for many years by David and Phyllis Lantz, Lantz Accounting.

Willing said keeping up with the changes in tax preparation is of course very important. This year many people are still confused about Obama Care and the rules that apply.

Also different this year is the requirement that every child must have proof of residency in the household, which is very difficult for infants and young children. A report card mailed to the household or something from the school will work for school age children, but with infants and toddlers it might present a problem. She suggests anything from a doctor, such as a prescription with an address on it. Willing said they will work with parents to find and suggest a solution to determine residency.

Keeping organized is an easy way to avoid panic at

tax time. Suggestions for those who own their own business to making all needed receipts are kept, even if they are small ones, because over a year’s time it add up. An envelope system is a good idea for some small businesses.

Have an envelope for each expense, such as gas, supplies, etc. and put receipts or needed information in the envelope as they occur.

The income tax filing deadline is April 15 for most people. If someone does not have the necessary information, it is still important to file for an extension.

TW Accounting has over 50 years combined experience.

Tompkins graduated form the University of Missouri in Columbia. Willing received a Bachelor of Accounting Degree from Quincy University.

Mike Tompkins is married to Linda and they have two sons, Shawn and Ian. Willing and her husband Kevin have a son Kristopher and a daughter, Kaitlyn.

Kerri Willing worked for Mike Tompkins and they decided to go into business together and formed the TW Accounting, LLC. Willing said she always liked math and seeing things balance. She said she would help her grandmother at Helen’s Beauty Shop in Hannibal.

Her grandfather owned Silvery’s Phillips 66 Station in New London and later a trucking service and while in high school she began helping him with the billing and bill paying and decided to major in accounting.

YESTERYEAR REFLECTION

Pieces of Memories 1919-1941 Dorothy Baltrusch is 95 years young and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

She graduated from Canton High School in 1937 and from Culver-Stockton College in 1941. She shares the following memories about her life in Canton when she was a child.

The Depression and Schools The Depression officially started October 27, 1929. Little kids like me heard about it on the radio, if they had one, but

it didn’t really hit us until suddenly we didn’t have any school teachers. Until then I hadn’t known that teachers were actually paid and that schools could run out of money. For a time we were taught by “cadet teachers”, students from Culver Stockton College who were doing their best to help out. Most of the time it worked fine.

I still remember the cadet teacher who called me to the front of the class and made me sit on the floor

with my legs straight out and my back straight, a position that hurt my legs and my back and whatever self-respect I had at 8 years old. I had hoped to get enough courage to ask her what I had done to cause her to punish me, but I never saw her again.

I don’t know where the money came from but soon we had a supervisor of cadet teachers. Her name was Miss Ernestine Bennet.

Miss Ernestine Ben-

net told me that I could come to her office anytime I wanted to talk about school or birds or anything; I don’t remember visiting her office but the school looked much brighter after she came and I forgot all about my plan to run away. Actually, I was not sure where “away” was or how to get there.

All over the country banks closed, schools closed. People moved away from Canton because they

were looking for something better; other folks moved into Canton for the same reason. Desperate people committed suicide and even little kids heard about that. I know that I was aware of the depression but I had many things to think about and lots of things to do.

Other things I could think about were lightning bugs, roller skates, watermelons, frogs, frozen streams, the county fair, corn-on-the cob, shivar-

Traditional Heritage Sunday Held

ees, parades, firecrackers, boats, bicycles, stray dogs and lost cats.

Miss Ernestine Bennet, I know that I am 85 years or so late in mentioning this, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mrs. Baltrusch’s email address is dpbaltrusch@ msn.com or her mailing address is 8300 E. McDowell #1067 Scottsdale, AZ 85257 She welcomes anyone to contact her with their memories and recollections.

(Photo by Maxine Hark) Culver-Stockton College celebrated its historic and ongoing relationship with Canton Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) during a worship service Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015. at the Canton Christian Church, located at 512 College Street in Canton, Mo. Members of the college and church shared in the annual Heritage Sunday celebration. Culver-Stockton President Kelly Thompson renewed the covenant between the church and college and offered remarks. Faculty and staff were present. Reverend Mandy Gosik presided over the service.

Culver-Stockton College has maintained its affiliation with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) since church members founded the school in 1853. Culver-Stockton sustains the spirit of the college’s heritage by providing a caring and supportive environment in which students examine their faith, discover a deep sense of their being and express it by sharing their best-loved gifts in a place of the world’s deep need.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY

BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Feb. 29, 1990 Eleven Canton citizens were “arrested” Friday, Feb. 23, and the bail money went to the heart association. The 11 were among numerous local residents who contributed to the heart association fund raiser called “Cardiac Arrest”, which raised $763.The arresting officer was Yvonne Hoewing, who wore a light blue police shirt, large tin-foil star-shaped badge with a red heart, jeans, cowboys boots and a cowboy hat.

Lewis County Nursing Home Activity Director Marilyn Job had previously contacted a number of merchants about a possible arrest. Some which could not get away, sent checks or presented them to Hoewing to take to the makeshift jail at the Lewis County Nursing Home.

A LaBelle man and a Quincy man were to seek their own treatments for minor injuries in a school bus-truck accident in Knox City Feb. 26. Six student passengers on the bus were not injured. According to State Highway Patrol, a 1983 Chevrolet Knox County school bus, southbound on Route 6 by Dwight R. Sharpe, of LaBelle, struck a Ford truck driven by Granville C. Clay, 67, of Quincy. The patrol said the bus was attempting to cross a road and struck the left side of the truck. The truck went off Route 6 and overturned several times. The bus came to rest in the east bound lane. Sharpe was cited for failure to yield the right of way.

45 Years Ago The Canton Press-News March 5, 1970 Roger’s and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” will be presented by Canton High School, under the direction of Don Freeman, March 19-21.

The Canton Ferry will resume operations, conditions permitting, on March 9 according to Allan Blackmore. On June 8 Blackmore will mark 30 years of ferry operation at Canton, providing both a necessary bridge for transportation, and a colorful tourist attraction for the community.

Mrs. Zora Kitch of Lewistown has been a subscriber of the Lewis County Journal for 62 years, after receiving a gift subscription from her father, the late F. A. Holbert, as a Christmas present in 1908.

A former teacher in Lewistown schools, Mrs. Kitch taught at rural school at Steffenville and Haycraft.

The City of Lewistown has acquired a new city building, which is being used for both storage and for a city office. The building was recently purchased from the Johnson Implement Co. of Lewistown.

Robert Corbin, mayor of Lewistown, is pictured in the new city office. The building is located about a block from the highway, north of the depot.

Mrs. Norma J. Redman, 44, of Quincy died March 3 in Blessing Hospital, Quincy. Mrs. Redman was born in Williamstown, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Tucker. She had worked as a secretary at the Moorman Mfg. Co. until her illness.

Norman Feldkamp, 37, was killed when struck by a limb from a tree at his farm near LaGrange Feb. 25.

Funeral Services for Mrs. Nancy Cook of Quincy were held at the Ball-Coder Funeral Home in Ewing Sunday. Mrs. Cook, 69, died in St. Mary Hospital Feb. 26.

The Lewistown Vikingettes finished the 1969-70 basketball season undefeated compiling a 25-0 record and extended the winning streak to 33 in a row. Team members are Sharon Daggs, Cindy Huebotter, Judy Bailey, Marie Swenka, Karen Daggs, Debbie Fleer, Jeanie Porter, Shirley Dudgeon, Debbie Klocke, Christine Whan, Judy Kurk, Shelley Buswell, Bobette Montag and coach Dale Smith.

65 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal March 9, 1950 One of the old landmarks of Monticello, the blacksmith’s shop was torn down Saturday. For a number of years Tude Selby, Bill Anderson, Warren Billops and Dolan Schork did a thriving business of sharpening plows, welding and shoeing horses at this location.

85 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal March 6, 1930 A tragedy of the winter when the waters of Lima Lake were ice locked, was uncovered Sunday, when officers of the Izaak Walton League visited the district and found millions of dead fish, killed during the cold weather when ice covered the waters and

there was no air for the fish below.

Mrs. John Higgerson died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Dolan Schork near Monticello.

To Concerned Citizens of Lewis County – The county Nutrition Program is in jeopardy of closing its doors with the rising cost of raw foods, insurance, and other necessities. The cost of the meal is $2.86 as of now, and that is not free or paid in full by the government. The program ran in the red $3,612.51 in January. The sites in the county have made up $8,000 to date and $6,480 more is needed by the year ending June 30, 1930. This has to be made up by fund raisers or donations of some kind. The only way to help this is to have the full cost of the meal from everyone, who can afford it, who enjoy and use the program. Some think they don’t need the programs, but the time does come for loved ones, or themselves when it is necessary and needed, and then we get the calls, and questions and it is good to be able to help them. Everyone is welcome to come to the centers and enjoy the activities, fellowship and hot meals. Home delivered meals are also sent to those in need six days a week plus a cold meal for Sunday if needed. This is just something to think about. Someday we are all going to need it in some way, then will it be there?

95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal March 5, 1920 Mrs. Greenburg Sharp, 80, died at her home at La-

Belle Monday. She had the flu.

J. Fred Wagner, 72, died Feb. 29 at his home at Monticello.

On Sunday, Feb. 29, a surprise was given J. T. Leslie in celebration of his 100th birthday. Mrs. Leslie is some 65 or 70 years his junior and the occasion was perfectly planned.

Mrs. Mattie Pritchard, 58, of LaGrange died Saturday morning of heart trouble.

James Curfam, 70, died at his home in LaGrange Monday.

T. L. Adams this week received the official notice of the death of his son, Walter, who lost his life with the Expeditionary Forces in France. The report says that he was first wounded on May 6, 1918, again wounded on July 19 and killed the same day.

Mr. Adams had been receiving insurance for some time but up to this time had not been notified of the exact date of death.

Friday evening a sad accident occurred. Edward Kennedy and brother, Lish Lowfink, were sawing down trees in the timber, one tree lodged and in coming down struck Edward, killing him instantly.

Quincy merchants have finally taken definite action towards building the Taylor road. A gravel road, 16 feet wide, 12 inches deep on the crown and with sloping shoulders, is the type of highway deemed most feasible. When this piece of road is built, and the road from Palmyra to the Lewis County line is built, there will be provided a hard surfaced road from Keokuk to Hannibal

and from Canton west to the Knox County line.

Charles Gatton, 53, died March 1 at his home.

Burial was at St. Patrick.

105 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal March 11, 1910 Vance Brumbarger, the junior editor of the Memphis Democrat and a “live wire” fully charged when it comes to business, was transacting business in Monticello Monday.

The revival meeting at the Christian Church at this place is progressing nicely and is attracting large congregations. The pastor, Rev. G. W. Buckner, is being assisted by Rev. Varney, an evangelist of power and conviction. The song services are attracting marked attention and is under the leadership of Prof. O. J. Marks, a former student and alumnus of Christian University.

George W. smith sold his property, consisting of about 7 acres, at the foot of the west hill to C. E. Toice for $1,600 cash. Mr. Smith will move back to the Frazier house now occupied

by R. L. West, the first of April.

The new management has taken charge of the “Canton News” and will endeavor to disseminate good Republican doctrine in this old time Democratic county; but aside from the drawback of their politics the men at the head of the enterprise are pleasant and agreeable gentleman.

Edith Schmuck quilts on Wednesday at the La Grange Methodist Church.

On February 13 when she and Patty Martin arrived they found a plastic sack hanging on the door. Inside was a card addressed to Edith. It held a birthday/valentine card signed “Watchful Angel”. Edith received other cards for her birthday but this one containing the mystery signature has her puzzled.

Others present that day were pastor, Steve Martin and Brenda Ryan. They all enjoyed a pizza for lunch.

I believe we all have a “watchful angel” but this is the first I heard of them sending a birthday/valentine greeting. Edith is a deserving recipient and grateful for this honor.

Basketball It’s A Tradition Last week the PressNews Journal featured an article on Craig O’Dear, Greg Logsdon and Austin Richmiller, who have each held the record for most points scored during their basketball career.

O’Dear and Logsdon both attended the game in Brookfield when Richmiller broke the record held by Logsdon since 1987. Logsdon had broke the scoring record set by Craig O’Dear in 1975.

Several readers have inquired about that edition of the paper and that edition is still available at the Press-News Journal office in LaGrange.

Subscribers can also read the article on-line at lewispnj.com

Greg Logsdon was a senior in 1987 when he broke the all time boys scoring record at Highland set by Craig O’Dear in 1975. Members of the 1987 team were: Coach Elbe, Myron Hopson, Kevin Tasco, Greg Logsdon, Billy Meyer, Jim McVeigh, Tranell Humphrey and Kevin Lewis.

Greg Logsdon with his mother, Diann Logsdon, who Greg says was a very important part in his basketball career with her support. Craig O’Dear said his parents, H.C. and Martha Lou were very supportive of his sports career and other activities.

Members of the 1987 Highland basketball team gathered at Highland to visit with former teammate Greg Logsdon, who returned to Highland, along with Craig O’Dear to honor the new all time boys leading scorer Austin Richmiller.

Pictured with Greg Logsdon, (standing fourth from left) are several of his former teammates.

Greg Logsdon and family were present to see Greg received the basketball that had set in the Highland trophy case for almost 30 years with his career all time scoring record. Pictured are Greg and his wife Rachel and daughters, Conner and Addie.

Highland Basketball record holders were honored recently. Pictured are Craig O’Dear, Austin Richmiller and Greg Logsdon. Austin Richmiller was recently honored for the most career points scored in boys basketball at Highland. O’Dear set the record in 1975. Greg Logsdon surpassed it in 1987 and now Austin Richmiller in 2015.

In 1975, Lewis County had two great basketball teams.

In this picture Canton Joe Eatman tries to score a basket. Craig O’Dear wearing the number 50 uniform for Highland is in the background. Highland had a record of 28-1 in 1975, Canton 25-3.

Williams Appointed Court Fifth Grade Cougars Services Administrator Presiding Circuit Judge Russell Steele has announced that Patrick Williams has been appointed as the Court Services Administrator for the Second Judicial Circuit. He will fill the vacancy created when former Court Services Administrator, Matt Holt, resigned to accept the position of Drug Court Administrator for the First Judicial Circuit.

He will be a perfect fit for this position.”

While in Kirksville, Williams served as a special education teacher, assistant principal, high school principal for eighteen years, and superintendent for eight years. “One of my goals in retirement was to continue working in a meaningful way with local youth should the right opportunity present itself,” Williams said, “As a school administrator, I have worked with the Juvenile Justice Center staff for many years, and I have great respect for their professionalism, dedication, and commitment to help the youth and families of this community. I look forward to this opportunity to work more closely with them,” he added.
