The mission statement for Pheasants Forever states Pheasants Forever is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail, and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.

The local chapter takes pride in the fact that all money raised in Lewis County stays in the county.

Proposed Tax Increase on ballot Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com

A proposed tax increase will be on the ballot in the April election. The Sheriff’s Office is seeking a one fourth of one cent increase in sales tax that will go directly to the Sheriff’s Office and Prosecutor’s office.

The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office is a 24 hour operation whose responsibilities include more than just criminal investigations. The office investigates between 450 to 500 criminal matters each year and also provide court security and serve court documents. A bailiff is scheduled to monitor court proceedings over 150 times per year. The Department also serves orders of protection, law suits, subpoenas and summonses as required by the court with an average of over one thousand papers served every year. They also assist with the Lewis County Drug Court and are required to monitor approximately forty sex offenders who currently reside in Lewis County.

Lewis County Sheriff David Parrish stated several reasons why the tax increase is necessary. The state requires the Sheriff’s Office to maintain and keep prisoners. If the county does not have a jail the prisoners must be transported to another facility outside the county, at a cost to Lewis County. 99 percent of Lewis County

inmates are incarcerated on state charges. If someone is arrested by a park ranger, trooper or city officer, the Sheriff’s Office must pay for all costs associated with keeping the inmate. This includes food, clothing, medical care and transportation. The Sheriff’s Office is responsible for picking up prisoners from all over the state and nation regardless as to who the original arresting agency was. They also transport prisoners to and from prison, most of these transports are to Vandalia and Fulton.

Jail staffing was been a major issue. There have been 45 jailers in the past ten years to cover four full time positions and two part time positions. For the last three years a full time jail position was not funded because it is cheaper to employ part time employees. Parrish says this practice needs to change. Jail employees must have computer skills, TASER training, pepper spray training and the ability to deal with convicted felons who have committed every offense from child abuse to murder.

New funding will allow the Sheriff’s Office to hire a full time jailer and increase the jailer pay to a more competitive level.

Another concern is school safety. The Lewis County C-1 and Sheriff’s Office are attempting to enter into a partnership to provide a school resource deputy. The Sheriff’s Office already provides DARE and sponsors the Students Against Drunk Driving. A major concern

has always been the distance the schools are from the Sheriff’s Office. In the past, they have explored different ways to hire another deputy specifically for this purpose but haven’t had the funding. With the many school shooting tragic events, Parrish feels it is time to get a deputy at the school full time. Lewis County C-1 school board, administration, faculty and staff have approved funding to partner with the county to provide this deputy. Parrish said Canton R-V district is fortunate to have the police department so the response time is not the same as the C-1 District. Canton R-V will soon have the Canton Police Department on site with an office in the Canton building. The Sheriff’s Department will continue to provide support to both districts.

The deputy pay is also below other agencies. While this funding would not allow the hiring of another deputy, it would allow them to hire reserve deputies to work on a part time basis. Additional funding would also allow for the hiring of a part time prosecutor. The office currently processes several hundred criminal cases every year and this will allow the prosecutor more time to seek stronger consequences for criminal behavior.

Sheriff Parrish said the decision to seek further revenue from the public has been a difficult decision but believes the new funding is critical to the operation of the Sheriff’s Department.

St. Patrick special postal cancellations and activities A pictorial cancellation will be available at the St. Patrick, Mo., Post Office March 1 to 30. The date changes daily.

EDITORIAL

DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM As a mother in caught in the chaos of sleepless nights, housework, work, etc., I’ve come to find that there is little “down time” in my life. It feels that I finish something, begin working on something else, and end up having to re-do the first thing I did because my toddler has destroyed it again. Ironically enough, what little down time I’ve had lately has been spent researching more efficient and fun ways to be a good mother.

This might sound crazy to some, but just like a new mother would ask their friends and family for parenting advice, I enjoy it from those resources and more. Having never had a toddler before, I am literally clueless as to what activities my daughter might enjoy. For example, I made the mistake of buying Play Doh several months ago, remembering all the fun things I did with it as a child, only to have my daughter try to eat it as soon as I got it out of the plastic container. Obviously, that idea wasn’t age appropriate. So, I scour the internet as often as possible to try to come up with lots of fun things to do with my little girl. Believe it or not, it seems like many parents are just as lost as I am, because finding activities for two-yearolds can be very difficult.

Many of the blog posts, parenting articles, etc., can be driven towards older children, but it was in one of these articles written by a journalist from a parenting magazine that suggested something she called “Nudie scarf dancing.”

Even in the article she mentioned that the name sounded crazy, but that the name had come from a friend, who’d suggested the idea to her. It’s actually a very simple idea- get an old scarf, turn up some

BARTLETT awesome dance music, and dance with your kid.

To begin with, I overlooked the idea, believing it to be of more use to a parent with an older child, but a few nights ago, as I sat up with Amaya and prayed she would go to sleep, I decided we needed to do something fun together. I turned on the music channel on our cable and grabbed some scarves and within seconds, my gorgeous angel was dancing around the living room, old silk scarf flapping in the air behind her. It was one of those moments as a parent that you know you’ll never forget- the type that leaves a mark on your heart as permanent as a tattoo.

I have, and will always believe and tell everyone that my child is beautiful, but in that moment, with her scarf, her smile, her red-flushed cheeks, and her sweet giggle, it was as though she transcended beauty. No matter how flustered I get with my current state of stress, I now have the ability to remind myself that if I let go of my ‘To Do’ list, I can enjoy every aspect of my daughter- which, in my opinion, is so much more important than having a spotless house.

Hannibal Red Cross Thanks Volunteers Who Deployed for Superstorm Sandy Relief Efforts The Northeast Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross wants to share the experiences of two of its volunteers who deployed to the East Coast to assist with the recovery efforts following Superstorm Sandy.

Connie Roberts and Dwain Wilkerson traveled to New Jersey. Roberts left in January, and worked with displaced residents to make sure their basic, immediate needs were met. She also helped them make plans for longer-term recovery. A volunteer since 2009, she is trained to help with local disasters or on national assignment in psychological first aid and with providing meals, shelter and disaster relief supplies to those in need. Connie’s deployment for Sandy relief was her fourth national deployment. Since 2010, she has helped with floods in Tennessee, Iowa and Arkansas.

Back in November, Wilkerson was assigned to kitchen and yard duties for most of his deployment in New Jersey. He has been a volunteer with the Red Cross since 2009 as well, and shares many of the same qualifications as Connie. In addition, Dwain has been trained as a supervisor in disaster services. Dwain was deployed to Joplin to assist in recovery from tornado damage and was also deployed to Arkansas, Iowa and Tennessee during flooding responses.

“We are very proud of Connie and Dwain’s willingness to help others in need,” said Tom Dugger, Executive Director of the Northeast Missouri Chapter. “More volunteers are always needed to accomplish the important work of the Red Cross.”

Nearly four months since Superstorm Sandy’s landfall, more than 700 Red Cross workers are on the ground in New York. They are providing meals and helping people get assistance with home repairs, rent, utility deposits, and connecting them with social service programs.

The American Red Cross Northeast Missouri Chapter is a proud member agency of the United Way of the Mark Twain Area, which makes significant investments every year in Red Cross services.

85 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Jan. 25, 1928 Monticello School Notes: The weather and roads were so bad the first of the week that several of the pupils from the country made arrangements to stay overnight in town rather than make the tiresome trip home thru the mud.

Thursday afternoon and about 130 loads were put in that afternoon and Friday, making about three layers in the house. The ice was only six and a half inches thick, was a good quality. The house holds about 400 tons and supplies the town and community.

The agency for the Ford automobile for Scotland County has been given to the Delaney Bros. At Edina.

Last year the Busy B Hatchery, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Burk, hatched out over 50,000 chicks the first season after being established.

The Lewis County Journal Jan 29, 1918 Death removed another prominent citizen of the community, a member of a pioneer family, this week in the person of Leonidas Hagood, who passed away at his home

Sunday at the age of 90, says the LaGrange Indicator. He was born in Tennessee and when only three years of age his parents removed to Missouri.

They built and long occupied as a residence, the first brick in this vicinity, now the home of S.W. Gnuse. The earlier years of his manhood were actively connected with the business interest of LaGrange. For some years he was connected with an important local tobacco factory. Earlier he operated a flouring mill. Before the days of railroads through the northern portions of Missouri he was a member of mercantile firm which did an extensive wholesale and retail business in general merchandise.

County Food Administrator J.D. Johnson gives out the following rules fro grocers: dealers are expected to sell flour of 48 pounds or not to exceed 96 pounds at one time.

They are expected to sell flour to town purchasers to the amount of 24 pounds or not to exceed 48 pounds at one time.

Sugar sales are limited to 10 pounds at one time to country customers and 5 pounds at one time to town customers. Potatoes, beans, and peas are to be sold by weight instead of by measure. Mr. Johnson asks that people observe wheatless and meatless days and porkless Satur-

days.

Last week we had a pent up hope that ere long our town would be freed from the ignominy and slur of being forty miles from nowhere, and that our folk could step on and off trains, when leaving and stopping at Monticello, just as big as the people of other towns, do, and that the bird of liberty would soar as proudly over the ancient and classic hills of Monticello as over other places, But, alas, our special correspondent who was sent out to get facts in detail came in with such as broke us all up.

Pasture to Table Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Lester Hoffman of Canton and Robert Farr of LaGrange, recall a time when the dairy business was a way of life for many Lewis County farmers. This is part three of the two men’s recollections of a time gone by.

Lester Hoffman of Canton and Robert Farr of LaGrange have been friends for many years. Both men grew up on farms and were in the dairy business. Hoffman was one of the main milk suppliers to Producers Creamery in LaGrange. Farr was employee and manager of the Creamery for several years.

Producers Creamery in LaGrange began business in 1928. In those days and through the 1960s there were a lot of small farms in the area and small farmers could scratch out a living with a few dairy cows, some hogs, several chickens and a good garden. Cows were milked by hand, but milk is a very perishable product, and had to be cooled immediately. Many farms cooled their fresh milk by submerging the milk cans in cool water.

When electricity came along and was available, the milking machine and milk coolers became a standard at most farms. Dairymen could milk more cows with less work. According to Hoffman and Farr, the milk cooler was also a great place to cool a ripe watermelon in the summer.

The diary business was an ever changing business, with more and more regulations concerning the milk products taking place, producers had to evolve with the business. An innovation in milking focused on mechanizing the milking parlor to maximize the number of cows per operator which streamlined the milking process to permit cows to be milked as if on an assembly line, and to reduce physical stresses on the farmer by putting the cows on a platform slightly above the person milking the cows to eliminate having to constantly bend over. Many older and smaller farms still had tie-stall or stanchion barns Hoffman built a milking parlor in the early 1960s and enabled him to sell Grade A milk, which brought a higher price. The parlor had to be kept clean and was subject to state inspections. Hoffman was able to increase his herd so that he was milking around 70 cows each day. He installed a bulk milk tank qne the milk was sent directly into the tank and kept cool, then pumped into the milk truck. Farr spent many early mornings at the Hoffman farm, picking up the milk. Albert Lay was another local farmer who used the bulk tank system.

To make sure of quality products, the dairy was always inspected by the county and state health departments, Department of weights and measures and the men say the most strict one was the Department of Pure Food and Drugs. In the later years, most cities had ordinances where all milk bottled was Grade A and this was milk that wasn’t put in cans any longer, but in the

bulk tanks. Milk in cans was sold to other dairies in the tri-state area where it was used for cheeses, cottage cheese, ice cream, buttermilk, egg nog, etc. One of the new regulations involved installing fans in the milking area, strong enough to blow a quarter off an object, so that no flies could get in the milk.

Every farmer had a can number and Farr can still remember most of the farmer’s assigned can number.

Bill Gnuse was can number 1. Al Bergman sold milk the entire life of the creamery, from 1928 til it closed in 1973. At its peak over 200 farmers sold milk to Producers Creamery. Some of the other farmers who sold milk to the creamery were Jack Wagner, Pete Deters, Finley Pollock, Buddy Maiers, Wolfmeyers and many others. The creamery provided employment for many people over the years. Harold Vaughn hauled milk for over 40 years, Other milk drivers were Art Eisenbeis, Lovelace Green, Wayne Bronestine and Jim Leeser. The business was a vital part of downtown LaGrange. Other

employees included Joe Wiskerchen, Pop Kramer, John Blackburn and Ken Ballard.

Producers Creamery had only three managers in their years of doing business. Bill Thomas from 1928 to 1960, Delbert Murphy from 1960 to 1968 and Robert Farr from 1968 until closing in 1973. Thomas and Murphy both served as mayor for LaGrange.

Hoffman and Farr said it was a hard decision to have to close the business, but times changed, more and more people quit milking and the small farms that were once a way of life were disappearing. Both men are quick to point out some of the wonderful people they have met and became friends with through the dairy business.

They also both give credit to their late wives, Leta Hoffman and Jeanie Farr, for working along side of them and taking care of their families. Both men look back on the hard work and dedication that went into providing drinking milk for the area. They are good friends and still appreciate and admire a good producing dairy cow.

Wessling and Bozarth Young Farmers Attend Farm Bureau YF&R announce wedding plans Leadership Conference

DR. ANDREW BOZARTH & DR. MARGARET WESSLING

The engagement of Dr. Margaret Wessling and Dr. Andrew Bozarth, both of Westwood, KS has been announced by their parents. She is a daughter of Vincent and Rose Wessling of Kansas City, Mo. He is a son of Ben and Diane Bozarth of Canton, Mo. The bride-elect graduated from Notre Dame de Sion High School in Kansas City in 2006 and graduated summa cum laude from the University of MissouriKansas City School of Medicine in 2012 with a combined B.A./M.D. She is also a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society. She is currently completing a combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency at UMKC. The prospective bridegroom graduated from Canton R-V High School in 2005 and graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine in 2011 with a combined B.A./M.D. He is currently completing a residency in internal medicine at UMKC, and plans to pursue a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine.

An April 6 wedding is planned at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church in Kansas City, Mo.

Submitted photo Attending the conference from Lewis County are from left to right: Eric Hogan, Katie Hogan, Jennifer Wood, Lea Munzlinger, and Billy Joe Rash.

A record-breaking number of young farmers and ranchers attended the recent Missouri Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) Leadership Conference Feb. 15-17. Several of the 585 attending came from Lewis County. The conference was held at the Lake of the Ozark’s Tan-Tar-A Resort.

The weekend event gives young people actively involved in farming a chance to network and learn more about their industry. Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst opened the conference with stories about working on the farm with his family when he was starting out as a farmer in Westboro, Mo., where he still farms.

Other speakers included Matt Lohr, Virginia’s current commissioner of agriculture and a former national FFA officer who owns his own motivational speaking company, and MFB YF&R Committee Chairman Andy Clay who farms near Jamestown, Mo. Lohr told the group farmers have been able to accomplish so much because they have adapted to change. Today, of the 2.1

million farms in the U.S., 100,000 provide 75 percent of production. “Take the time to educate our urban friends,” he says. “Just because they don’t understand doesn’t mean they don’t want to understand.”

Clay closed the conference with a similar message.

He says a recent survey ranked farmers eighth among occupations young people are interested in, behind nurses, firemen, policemen and superheros. “That’s why young farmers need to become involved. They need to tell their story,” he says. “I never wanted to be a fireman, policeman or superhero, but I’ve always wanted to be a farmer.”

The conference was loaded with mini-seminars, a trade show, fun and games. Comedian ventriloquist Taylor Mason, provided laughs with puppets Paco, Ramon, Romeo and Clay. Clay is the farmer character in Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance commercials. Both children and young adults took part in bingo games and a pedal tractor pull. A super farmer contest for adults involved an obstacle course.

Open enrollment is now taking place at Hannibal Children’s Center’s (HCC) full day kindergarten program. At the HCC, family members and the community collaborate to empower students to become healthy, self-confident individuals. This is done by providing children the resources to develop a passion for learning through interactive play.

The Hannibal Children’s Center’s full-day kindergarten program will start again this fall. In order for parents to fully understand the benefits of a program such as this, the HCC is hosting an open house March 5 from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The open house will provide an opportunity to tour the classroom environment, meet the certified kindergarten teacher and learn more about the center’s kindergarten program.

The HCC kindergarten program is led by certified teacher, Amy Sutton. She has a strong background in elementary education and will help children grow socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

Some things that set the HCC Kindergarten program apart are: -Teachers work with individual children, small groups, and the whole group at different times during the day. They do not spend time only with the entire group.

-Children have access to various activities throughout the day, such as block building, pretend play, picture books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such as Legos, pegboards, and puzzles. -------Children are not all doing the same things at the same time.

-Children are playing and working with materials or other children. This engaged method avoids forcing children to sit quietly for long periods of time and wander in aimless activities.

-Children have an opportunity to play outside or in the indoor play area every day. Play is essential and not sacrificed for more instructional time.

-Children learn numbers and the alphabet in the context of their everyday experiences. Exploring the natural world of plants and animals, cooking, taking attendance, and serving snack are all meaningful activities to children.

-Children work on projects and have long periods of time (at least one hour) to play and explore.

-Curriculum is adapted for those who are ahead, as well as, those who need additional help. Because children differ in experiences and background, they do not learn the same things at the same time in the same way.

Children and their parents look forward to school.

Parents feel safe sending their child to kindergarten.

For more information about the open house or to schedule a time to discuss enrollment for your child, please contact Meredith Andrews, Director at 573-4065700.

Hannibal Regional Medical Group Creates Chronic Pain Management Center

An exciting new program is being offered at Hannibal Regional Medical Group. Chronic pain ranks near the top of the list as a reason for visits to primary care physicians. To expedite and streamline surgical and nonsurgical care for patients with chronic care, Hannibal Regional Medical Group has created the Chronic Pain Management Center. The center will provide a single point of access to services such as interventional pain management, orthopedic specialists, internal medicine providers, rehabilitation services and nursing.

It’s not uncommon for people suffering from chronic back and neck pain to try many kinds of treatment without relief, and in can be very frustrating to wait weeks for an appointment with a specialist. At the core of HRMG’s Chronic Pain Management Center is a “navigator” who will help patients with all the different options.

Patients will be led through a process of assessment and treatment ranging from physical therapy to aggressive non-surgical management, and, if necessary, delicate spine surgery tailored to the patient’s unique condition.

The new Chronic Pain Management Center is located on the second floor of the Hannibal Regional Medical Building. Patients with primary care physician referrals, as well as self-referrals, are welcome.

For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call 573-406-1635 or visit hannibalregionalmedicalgroup.org.

Local Chiropractor Attends Spinal Biomechanical Visual Art Day for High School Engineering and MRI Spine Interpretation Training students hosted at CulverPro Active Chiropractic Center is today announcing its Chiropractor, Scott Stiffey, has recently completed advanced training in Spinal Biomechanical Engineering and MRI Spine Interpretation in Boca Raton, FL. Specialized areas in which Stiffey will be concentrating are the differential diagnosis of pathobiomechanics in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine as sequellae to micro and macro trauma and chronic biomechanical instabilities. Understanding the clinical implications of long term biomechanical failure in resultant disc pathology, ligament pathology and osseous pathology.

“Bulged, herniated, protruded, extruded, sequestered discs, the differential diagnoses and clinical triage implication of each, was also part of my course of study,” said Stiffey, who sees this course of study as a plus for his patients.

As one of the leading chiropractors operating in the Tri-State area, Stiffey, who has been working in the field 12 years and has trained in over 100 course hours to help patients that have been in car wrecks. He said the course of study he’s embarking on will enable him to help more personal injury patients and patients with more serious spinal conditions.

With his office located at 219 South Main Street in Palmyra in Missouri, Stiffey prides himself in offering state-of-the-art natural pain relief for our area. “We’re always attending seminars and learning new ways to help Northeast MO and West Central IL-area residents,” he said.

Why so much focus on education? While Stiffey specializes with patients that have been in car wrecks, he also helps with neck and back pain, and a variety of other conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Migraine Headaches. “Our

Stockton College

DR. SCOTT STIFFEY goal is to get our patients the best results in the shortest amount of time.”

If you are looking for a chiropractor who offers clear explanations, then Stiffey advises you to look for a chiropractor that stays up to date on the latest treatments and research.

For further information, please contact: Scott Stiffey, Chiropractor, 573-769-2400, drscottstiffey@gmail.com, or visit www. drscottstiffey.com.

Second Annual FFA Consignment Auction to be held The Canton FFA Alumni will be holding its second annual consignment auction March 2 at the Caldwell building west of Canton on Highway 16. All proceeds from the auction will go for scholarships for the Canton FFA members and to assist the chapter throughout the year. With the money raised from last year’s auction, the alumni was able to assist the Canton Chapter with travel expenses for the students to attend National

Convention in Indianapolis Indiana, and the Leadership Conference in Washington D.C., it was also able to give six 2012 graduating FFA members each a $500 scholarship.

Items consigned are listed in an ad in this edition. Sullivan Auctioneers will conduct the sale. The FFA chapter will be selling packages of sausage and hamburger the day of the sale.

Local art students have the chance to experience art education at the collegiate-level in an event filled with workshops, competitions and opportunities to network. Culver-Stockton College is hosting a Visual Arts Day March 26, 2013, for high school students to show off their work, refine their skills and meet local artists and instructors. The allday event will give participating students the opportunity enter their original artwork in a juried visual arts competition, as well as compete in a sidewalk chalk competition. In addition, the day will include a number of art workshops for students taught by local experts and artists.

Students each get to attend two workshops of their choice during the day. There is limited space in each workshop, though, and priority of workshop assignment will be given based upon when a student signs up. Workshops offered include: -Pottery Techniques, instructed by S & J Pottery -Paper Mania, instructed by Nancy Ellison -Watercolor Techniques, instructed by Brenda Beck Fisher, MWS -Print Making, instructed by Matt Hemminghaus -Graphite Techniques, instructed by Pat Kerns -Calligraphy, instructed by Carol Nichols -Cartooning, instructed by Jamie Green -T-shirt Making and Marker

Techniques, instructed by Kathy Dawson -Graphic Design, instructed

by Gary Meacher Culver-Stockton’s senior art majors will be on hand in the Mabee Art gallery to discuss their work and their experiences within the Culver-Stockton art program. High school students are encouraged to bring sample pieces of their work, to display for judging during the juried art show. Judge for the art show are Karl Warma, professor of art at Quincy University, and J. Robin Stone, professor of art at Hannibal-La Grange University.

The sidewalk chalk competition consists of teams of four to six students. The theme for the sidewalk competition is “Pop Art Masterpiece with a Twist.”

Students were given this theme upon registration, allowing them to prepare and plan before the actual competition. The winners of the sidewalk chalk competition and the juried art show will be announced at 1:30 p.m. in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium, located in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center.

Approximately 150 students from 11 schools have already signed up, though registration does not close until March 16.

All local art instructors have been invited to bring their classes, but individual students can sign up on their own. To sign up for the event, contact the Office of Admission at (800) 537-1883.

MoDOT Crews were preparing for the upcoming snow early this week. Crews from southern Missouri hauled in extra equipment to the northeast part of Missouri to prepare for the snowfall. Motorists are warned to be extra careful during this snow event and drive safely.

Winter Storm Serves As A Reminder: Driving With Caution The late February snows are a reminder for drivers to make adjustments. The Missouri State Highway Patrol encourages motorists to plan ahead and drive safely or not at all during inclement weather.

Drivers: Take the time to clean snow and ice completely from your vehicle. Allow extra driving time for you to reach your destination at a slow, safe speed.

Make sure the windows are completely cleared to ensure visibility.

Remember: Missouri law states if you’re using your windshield wipers, your headlights must be turned on. It takes only a second to turn on your vehicle’s headlights.

That second could make you more visible to other drivers and prevent a traffic crash.

Keep in mind that Section 307.020 RSMo. states lighted lamps are required “from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise and at any other time when there is not sufficient light to render clearly discernible persons and vehicles on the highway at a distance of 500 feet ahead.”

Have you winterized your vehicle? Have a mechanic check the battery, heater, defroster, lights, hoses, belts, brakes, oil, tires, wipers, and fluid levels. Before you travel, gather an ice scraper, tire chains, battery booster cables, blankets, flashlight, and a bag of sand to place in your trunk. Emergencies cannot be predicted, but planning for them can help you if one should arise. Missouri’s Road Condition Report (1-888-275-6636) can help you plan your route--before you leave. You may also view MoDOT’s Road Condition Map by going to the Patrol’s web site www.mshp.dps.mo.gov and click-

ing on the Road Condition icon.

When inclement weather hits, please adjust how you drive so that you continue to “exercise the highest degree of care”. For instance: Stopping quickly in the winter on snow-covered or icy roads is next to impossible. Use care by increasing your following distance as you drive. Increase your following distance to five seconds or more. Section 304.012 RSMo. directs motorists to exercise the highest degree of care on Missouri’s roadways.

This part of Missouri law states, “Every person operating a motor vehicle on the roads and highways of this state shall drive the vehicle in a careful and prudent manner and at a rate of speed so as not to endanger the property of another or the life or limb of any person and shall exercise the highest degree of care.”

Ask yourself if the speed you’re traveling is safe for the weather conditions. Slow down when driving in snow or on ice. Driving the speed limit may not be “exercising the highest degree of care” during inclement weather; driving over the speed limit never is.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is here to serve and protect. If you become stranded or see another vehicle stranded on the side of the road with passengers, please call the Missouri State Highway Patrol emergency number at 1-800-525-5555 or dial *55 on a cellular phone. These numbers ring at the nearest troop headquarters.

Local city crews were also busy keeping local streets clean. Their job was made a little easier by receiving less then the predicted 10-12 inches of snow.

Our family would like to thank everyone who attended the benefit for Mike. The love and suport of our community was shown by the attendance at the benefit.

Thanks to everyone in the community for their monetary donations, items for the silent and live auction and the Lutheran Ladies for donating desserts for the meal.

A huge thank you to the committee for their hard work in putting the benefit together and to everyone who helped in any way.

Thanks for all the cards, phone calls, visits, prayers, friendship, love and support each one of you has shown our family.

God Bless Everyone!

Mike, Bonnie, Carrie, Chris Litteken
