Mississippi River Reaches Fifth Highest Level Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Flooding on the Mississippi River and other rivers and streams in the Lewis County area caused many roads to be closed and many people and businesses in LaGrange had to move from their locations. The LaGrange Post Office is currently located in the Catholic Church on Route C. Douglas Community Head Start is closed. The

Riverhouse Bar was surrounded by water and contents were removed. The Town and Country Bank prepared to relocate, but water did not breach the bank building. Several residents removed their belongings on the east side of Main Street. Some LaGrange residents on the west side of Main Street sandbagged their homes to prevent water from coming in.

Bunge Corporation had a sandbagging operation behind the Lions Club building and sandbagged around the Bunge facility.

Heartland Resources Nutrition Program vital to Community Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com One way Heartland Resources provides the community an answer for those in need of hot meals. Elderly, handicapped or disabled residents may qualify to have a hot meal delivered to their home. For those who are able can attend one of the many Lewis County Nutrition sites and have lunch. This program provides nutritious food to people and at the same time allow them to be independent and live in their own homes.

Phillis Smith of Heartland Resources encourages everyone to visit one of the nutrition sites. The good food and social atmosphere provides residents an option to just sitting home alone. Smith says the system could not survive without the help of many generous volunteers who travel to homes and other nutrition sites delivering the meals.

Volunteers Bennie and Shirley Jarvis enjoy their work and care about the people they serve. Sometimes they are the only contact some of the people have with the outside world. The Nutrition Pro-

gram allows someone who needs help with mealtime to have food delivered to their door. The Jarvis’s love talking to each person and it provides some socialization for those who may be shut-in. They encourage everyone to volunteer for the rewarding experience.

Smith said there are many ways to volunteer, not only delivering meals, but coming to a center to do a variety of things.

Everyone loves to hear someone play the piano at the Ewing Nutrition Site, sitting in on a card game, helping with a puzzle or just socializing with all the good people are all ways

someone can volunteer.

There are many other details and jobs that could use a volunteer.

Do you recognize this local landmark?

Christine Moore has provided the first correct guess in last week’s Where in Lewis County photo. Moore instantly recognized the barn which sits on the east end of LaBelle next to a large home. Moore owned the property before moving to LaGrange to another historic home. Moore says the property was known as the Thompson place. The house was built by Judge Bushrod F. Thompson in 1904. His architect was Ernest Wood, a well known architect from Quincy. Judge Thompson was from a Monticello family who migrated to Missouri from Virginia. He married Ida Sayers from La Belle and that is why he settled there. The huge barn most likely pre-dates the house.

This property actually sits just outside the city limits (on the west side of 1st Street which is the boundary).

Dr. Lee Hammer Chosen As Commencement Speaker Dr. Lee Hammer has been chosen as the Commencement Speaker for the 157th Commencement Ceremony at Culver-Stockton College.

Hammer, a vital part of the Culver-Stockton English faculty since 1987, has made an impact in the lives of thousands of students, and will be retiring at the end of the 20122013 school year.

Prior to his appointment at Culver-Stockton, Hammer was a professor of English at Quincy College. He also spent a year as interim faculty at the University of Wisconsin.

He received his PhD in English from Marquette University, and his M.A. and B.A. in English from Western Illinois University. Hammer’s experiences at different institutions, especially larger public schools, make him aware and appreciative of the personalized experiences teaching at Culver-Stockton offers. “I went to college at large universities.

That was okay, but the emphasis at Culver-Stockton is so focused on teaching and that’s what I wanted.

I couldn’t have created a better place that I would want to go,” said Hammer.

Hammer was the first person in his family to go to college.

Hammer earned tenure at Culver-Stockton in 1992. His specialization is in Modern British Lit-

erature. “The interesting thing about that is when you teach at a small college, you often don’t even teach in your area. But that is OK because what I really loved about my time at Culver-Stockton was my opportunity to teach all kinds of courses,” said Hammer. “I have taught courses like American Lit, British Lit, History of the English Language, and Modern Grammar. It is really nice to not be stuck in one field.”

During his time as a Culver-Stockton professor, Hammer saw major changes in the methods of teaching used at C-SC. “When I first came to Culver-Stockton, the teacherstudent relationship was pretty much lecture and listen. But we have now come all the way to active learning. And that is exciting,” said Hammer. “We recognize that students can’t sit in their chairs and do nothings as we ramble on. In a way, I wish I was 20 years younger with a lot of energy to keep on pursuing it.” Making the switch to active learning in English classes has been an ongoing challenge, and Hammer has met that challenge in a variety of ways. He designed a poetry course where students used photography to represent parts of poems, and he has led several travel courses. His travel courses include a trip to Scot-

land and England, and he is participating in a trip to Estonia and Finland planned for the spring 2013 3-week term.

The 12/3 calendar, adopted by C-SC in 2008, was revolutionary to Hammer’s teaching career. “The 12/3 provides so much flexibility. I can take my class on a day trip without worrying, because they won’t miss other classes. Our classes don’t always have to meet at the same time. The classes and scheduled are designed so that we as professors really can do something different,” said Hammer. “It really got the faculty into the active learning mode.

It was the best thing we could do to make CulverStockton distinctive.”

Outside of the classroom, Hammer has held several administrative appointments at CulverStockton. Hammer helped to develop the TASC center, which he coordinated for several years. He was also the chair of the committee of faculty for the last three years. Hammer enjoyed his time on the faculty committee. “It was good to be in a role where I could do things for other people,” said Hammer.

During retirement, Hammer plans to improve his golf game. “I just want to get good at golf,” said Hammer. He also plans to complete some personal writing, as well as work

Spring Community Prayer Retreat The Spring Community Prayer Retreat was hosted by the Green Chapel Church in LaGrange on April 17. Ten community churches were represented. After the carry-in luncheon, devotions, songs and prayers were shared on the theme “Springtime Prayer Time”. The Methodist Church of LaGrange provided the program.

The first community prayer retreat was held on Jan. 17, 1973 at the Methodist

Church. The purpose of the Prayer Retreat is to draw all women together in a spirit of unity for the enrichment of all attendees and in turn, the spirit of unity of the whole community.

The next Community Prayer Retreat will be Oct. 18, 2013. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church will be the host church and the Green Chapel Church will be the program church.

on his photography and catch up on his reading.

One thing Hammer will miss in retirement is his students. “I am going to miss my students recommending things for me to read, though they usually recommend what not to read.” Hammer is married to Dr. Ann Hammer, professor of education at Culver-Stockton. Ann is not ready to retire yet.

As for the high point of his career, Hammer believes he is at it right now. “My career has had a good evolving culmination. There have been good things all along, including winning the Helsabeck Excellence in Teaching Award my second year. But I think in recent years, it has just felt good to interact with our students. They are so nice and respectful,” said Hammer. “Just a few weeks ago, an English alumnus sent me an email saying how I had a large impact on his personal motivation to become a teacher. And that is nice to hear. You never know as a teacher what kind of effect you have on students. But it warms my heart to know that apparently this student thought I had done something good for him.”

EDITORIAL

Recollections of Burrell Smith Rita Cox Editor rita1@lewispnj.com Burrell Smith has been the subject of several articles in the Press-News Journal over the last year. He has shared his memories of growing up in Monticello, serving in World War II, his love and adventures of owning antique cars, and his role as one of the first people to connect rural Lewis County with electricity. The wonderful stories about people and places in Lewis County have provided a glimpse at Monticello as a strong community, life without electricity, fighting a war far from home.

During his life he has been a businessman, involved and volunteered in his community, a devoted church goer, family man and best friend of many. His recollections of a time gone by are precious tidbits of history and how Lewis County has progressed over the last century.

Mr. Smith will celebrate his 95th birthday with an open house on April 28 at the Methodist Church in Monticello. The event will be from 2 to 4 p.m., hosted by his family. When he turned 90, a large family event was held in his honor. Burrell continues his positive outlook on life and has come up with a few sayings around each birthday. When he turned ninety, he told people it was “Mighty at Ninety”, age 91 was “91-Having Fun” “94 and many more” and to celebrate age 95 he remarks “95 and still alive.” Perhaps his sense of humor has something to do with his longevity.

Burrell was one of eight children in his family. His sister Alma married Roy Keller from Ewing and he was one of the first group of Highway Patrol officers. There were 18 men in the first class. Burrell’s sister Gracie, never married and lived in Lewis County all of her life.

Sister May married Fred Leeser, their daughter is Betty Jo Lloyd of Canton. Sister Ethel married Melvin Rutledge, their son is Larry Rutledge of Monticello. His sister Nan, never married and was president of the Bank of Monticello. She was the first woman bank president in the state of Missouri and worked in banking for over 50 years. Brother Hugh Smith married Alice and had children Gary and Kay (Parker). Edna married Norman Dahl, lived in Wisconsin and they had two daughters.

Burrell and his late wife, Ruth, have two children, Ruth Ann (Hudnut) and Bill. He has grandchildren, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and other relatives.

Burrell recently set down and shared a few more memories. His dad was sheriff of Lewis County from 1928 to 1932, and they lived in a huge brick house which stood where the Lewis County Jail is now. The family then moved to a large structure located west of the Filling Station in Monticello. The building was known as the old Seminary. When he was older he moved to the south end of Monticello and had a small farm home

with chickens, a milk cow, pigs and a garden to supply food. Two of his sisters lived in the Seminary building or “The Brick” as the family called it. In 1957 a devastating tornado hit Monticello. Burrell and family had just finished supper and went up town to check on everything.

The Brick was destroyed, all but the upper portion of the two story apartment where his sisters lived. He used the REA truck to get them out of the crumbling structure.

The girls weren’t hurt. There was a four car garage on the west side, the building was lifted off of two cars, neither car received a scratch.

Life in Monticello was a busy place, with the businesses to support a community. The Lindell Hotel was a two story building. Next door was the Welcome Inn Tavern, where you could go and have a drink, just beer, draft and bottles. He said men and women could go there, almost everybody smoked, as the effects of smoking were not known then. These businesses stood west of where the Bank of Monticello now stands.

Smith talks about when the town would show movies on the lawn of the courthouse, using the courthouse wall for the movie screen. People would come and sit on the lawn, enjoy fresh buttered popcorn for five cents, visit with their friends and neighbors and see a good movie. This was before any televisions at home. The town merchants paid for the event, which would ensure a big crowd and was good for business and the community.

Smith remembers the film would break frequently, but it just gave everybody a chance to visit with each other.

The projector operator was Frank Breeding.

Burrell served on the Monticello town board for over 40 years. One time the board met on the steps of the church, because another member, Karl Schork, had a station across the street, and they had to have a quick meeting to set the speed limit on the highway going through town to 35 miles an hour. He served with many community minded people including Winston Little, Linton Jenkins, Norman Merrell, Donald and Gilbert Humphrey, T.R. Legg and Alfred Hinton, to name just a few. Smith drove the town school bus from 1937 to 1943 and served on the school board. He continues to be active in the Monticello Methodist Church, attending every Sunday, dressed in a suit and tie.

In 95 years, Mr. Smith has accomplished many things and credits his faith and family for his wonderful life.

He looks forward to seeing everyone at the open house birthday celebration.. Friends, family, neighbors and admirers are welcome to attend.

Burrell Smith lived in the Monticello Seminary building in the 1930s. The structure was destroyed in the May 1957 tornado that hit the town.

MoDOT- Turn Around Don’t Drown Rapidly moving water rises and falls quickly during flash flooding, MoDOT reminds motorists it is dangerous to drive into water-covered roads. If you’re driving or walking and encounter flood water, turn around. Don’t drown. It only takes six inches of water to knock over an adult and cause loss of control of a vehicle. A foot of water will float many vehicles and only two feet of rushing water will carry them away, including pickups and SUVs. The depth of flood water is not always obvious.

It can be especially hard to judge at night. The best option is to play it safe and turn around. MoDOT recommends motorists check the website or call 1-888-275-6636 for the latest information. All closures can be found online at http://www.modot.org/ on the Traveler Information Map.

NECAC awarded grants for people facing foreclosure The not-for-profit North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) has been awarded additional funding to help people facing foreclosure.

NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency. NECAC contracts with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population.

The agency’s Central Administration Offices are located in Bowling Green, with NECAC Service Centers operated in each county.

The agency has been awarded a $34,920 National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program grant and $10,400 in funding from the Making Home Affordable program, both through NeighborWorks America.

NeighborWorks is a national leader in affordable housing and community-focused programs and services that are delivered through non-profit organizations. NECAC has been a NeighborWorks partner since 2004.

“We are pleased and excited about being awarded this additional funding,” said NECAC President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick. “This money will go a long way toward helping more families in Northeast Missouri stay in their homes. I’m proud of the effort put forward by NECAC Deputy Director for Housing Developments Carla Potts to obtain these two grants.”

Potts said that though the foreclosure crisis isn’t as widespread as it was two years ago, it still is a problem.

“Many people are just a job loss away from losing their homes,” she said. “The unemployment rate is still quite high in Northeast Missouri. When that job loss happens, it is often accompanied by a foreclosure. NECAC can step in and help clients before they lose their homes.”

NECAC works one-on-one with people facing foreclosure. The agency negotiates with mortgage servers on behalf of clients. The program isn’t for everyone, and NECAC can’t help in every circumstance. However, the agency has a success rate of more than 70 percent in keeping people in their homes.

More than 1.5 million families have been helped by the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling program, and NeighborWorks expects 193,000 families will receive assistance this year. The money pays for counseling that helps families through the process.

The Making Home Affordable program began in 2009 and has helped more than one million families nationwide. The program helps clients with second liens and “underwater” mortgages. It also deals with those seeking a short sale or deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure.

There are no income guidelines for the programs.

People who are interested should call the NECAC Housing Developments Department at 573-324-6622 or fill out an application at one of the agency’s 12 county service centers located in Canton, Troy, Macon, Hannibal, Paris, Montgomery City, Bowling Green, New London, Moberly, St. Charles, Shelbyville or Warrenton.

Event to honor veterans planned at Culver-Stockton For the second part of Culver-Stockton’s two-part military documentary showcase, Culver-Stockton is hosting a screening of “Honor Flight,” Saturday, May 3 at 3 p.m. in the Alexander Campbell Auditorium, located in the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center. Prior to the movie screening, there will be an exhibit of poster boards created by students to honor people who contributed to the WWII effort, beginning at 2 p.m. All area veterans are invited to the free screening, as a way for the College to pay them personal tribute.

Students in Dr. D’Ann Campbell’s class have been preparing for this event all semester. In early April, the class started interviewing people who had first hand memories of the war. Students interviewed a wide range of people, from veterans to those who were just children at the time. The interviews were filmed and are being used in two ways: students are creating poster boards as a visual aid for attendants at the documentary screening, and then when the event is over, the students are submitting the filmed interviews to the Culver-Stockton archives for the use of future generations.

“This generation of students may not have a family member still alive who remembers WWII, and it is a benefit to students learning from someone in our community with first hand experiences of Pearl Harbor and

the War. Life has changed more dramatically in the past 70 years than perhaps in any other 70 year period in the history of the United States,” said Dr. D’Ann Campbell, professor of history. “It is important that students learn from other generations, as well as have the knowledge to place these comments in context of what was happening nationwide in WWII.” The “Honor Flight” movie follows four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to fly them to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed for WWII veterans in 2004, nearly 60 years after their epic struggle. This award winning documentary provides viewers with the opportunity to learn about the sacrifices made during World War II and the importance of remembering those sacrifices. The Honor Flight movie has been seen by thousands of people across the country, and even holds the Guinness World Record for largest attendance at a film screening. This record was set in 2012, during the movie’s initial showing at the Miller Park Stadium in Milwaukee, Wis. Over 28,000 were there to see the heartwarming documentary.

Along with the poster exhibit and the documentary screening, the College is also hosting a luncheon the same day, beginning at 11:30 a.m. for all C-SC alumni who have served in the armed forces.

Canton Track and Field Team Competes in Two Meets

Saturday, April 27 7:30 p.m.

Amy Millstead Kent For information call 573-478-3603 Words cannot fully express my sincere appreciation to the many friends and family members who took time to be with me on Saturday celebrating my retirement.

A special thank you to my family for making this wonderful day possible.

The Family of

Donna Hudnut would like to thank our family and friends for all their thoughts and prayers at this difficult times.

A special thank you to all the Lewis County Nursing Home Staff for the care and friendship they provided for our mother while she was a resident there.

Also the Liberty Church for serving the luncheon after the burial.

The family of Donna Hudnut

Because of being a little overwhelmed by all the support we have had behind us over the last 16 months it is hard to just say “Thank You”.

There are feelings of BLESSEDNESS, THANKFULNESS, and even a little GRATEFULNESS. We are pretty sure this all comes from the Love of...

1. God and the prayers that were and still are coming our way.

2. Family, not just our children and their families but also our siblings & my mom who stood behind us and helped with whatever is needed sacrificing time that maybe should be spent doing something else.

3. Friends and Co-workers, because it is this group who has been helping the others to do what they have done for us.

4. Those that donated or attended the benefit that was held for us. So once again THANK YOU and may GOD BLESS you all.

There are always openings for volunteers at the Auxiliary and if you would be interested please call me or the volunteer office. Marvin works at the Caring Cup and enjoys his time sharing too. I have had many nice calls and cards and appreciate the thoughtfulness of so many. My family that attended were Marvin, Rachel Shepherd, Ann Brink, Gene Trautvetter, Julie Brink, Kathy and Bruce Bringer.

Lounell Southard, Rod and Phyliss Snodgrass, Michelle Crawley, Linda Denemark, Wayne and Mary Snodgrass met Paul and Irene Durst on Monday evening at the Tower of Pizza for supper.

COMMUNITY April 2013 Flood

Gregory Farr dumps loaded sandbags into a boat to be taken to protect the Bunge facility.

The Wyaconda Bridge on Route B was closed due to high water over the weekend.

This camper was parked in high spot but surrounded by water near the Mark Twain Casino.

The LaGrange Post Office moved to the Catholic Church as the Mississippi River overflowed its banks.

(right) This flower garden behind the Mark Twain Casino filled with water drowning the beautiful blooms. The entrance to the casino was closed due to flooding. The casino remained open and customers used the Pierce Street entrance.
