Campers On Mission Volunteers Help LaGrange Baptist Church BY RITA COX Reporter rita1@lewispnj.com
Campers on Mission volunteers came to LaGrange last week to help work on the new First Baptist Church which is nearing completion. The former church building was damaged by fire in June of 2011 and a new church is being built on Route C in LaGrange. Campers on Mission (COM) is a national fellowship of Christian campers who share their faith and serve in various ways while they camp. Membership is open to Christian campers of all denominations, and there is no membership fee. Bob Simpson and wife, Vi of High Ridge Mo., said the group travels where ever needed, usually doing new
construction volunteer work, but their organization is also there to help with various projects as needed. The volunteer use their campers as housing while on a project. Most of the group are retired and had never been involved in construction before, they have a wide variety of former careers, but have learned new skills and provide some much needed support and manpower to complete a project. The groups have worked on youth camps, rebuilding, remodeling, cutting brush, and maintenance. Work can also include installing handicap ramps, roofs, etc. Some of the volunteers travel south for the winter and continue their missions in those areas. The

Behind the Scenes The Canton Food Bank BY: BRIANNA BARTLETT REPORTER brianna@lewispnj.com If someone were to walk into the Faith Building at First Baptist Church in Canton on a Wednesday morning, that person would see a room filled with boxes, shopping carts, and volunteers. Some volunteers would be seen labeling boxes, some behind tables covered with food products and others going around with buggies filling up the labeled boxes for transport. This is the Food Bank. The organization, called USDA Feeding or Second Harvest is often known best by it’s ‘older’ name of Commodities.In Accordance with federal law and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture policies, this institution (USDA Feeding) is prohibited from discriminating on the base of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. The Director of the program is Nina Porter. Nina is a life long resident of Lewis Co. and has been the director of the food
bank since 2006. The position was given to her shortly after the passing of the previous director, Stanley Willis. The program began in 1997 and was located in the First Baptist Church basement. Over time, the food bank outgrew the basement and was then moved to the fellowship hall of the church. Before long, the group had outgrown the church as well, and a couple from the church volunteered to donate money for a larger building if the church could match their totalthus, the Faith Building was erected. Originally intended specifically for the food bank, the Faith Building has now grown into a multi-purpose room, also allowing for church to be held in the large space. The donated food comes from the Central and Northeast Missouri Food Bank in Columbia, Mo. The food bank in Columbia collects free food from certain sources and also applies donated
money towards the purchase of food- which is done in specific stores that allow large purchases of food for little cost. The volunteers at the food bank work diligently starting early Tuesday morning after the truck of food comes in from Columbia, Mo. Immediately, the workers start unloading and organizing the contents of the truck. From there, they do a count of each item and then make out sheets which delegate how much of a particular item can be given away. For example, a one-person family might get one bag of onions, but a five-person family might get two. On Wednesday, the volunteers begin by labeling boxes using a numerical and alphabetical system such as 1A, 1B, etc. The number represents the amount of family members in the family. These boxes will be filled with food, which will then be delivered to residents all around Lewis

Nina Porter oversees the volunteers as they organize and sort the special boxes which will be packed up to be delivered to Lewis Co. residents that are unable to go to the food bank themselves.
Co., and even some in Clark Co., that are unable to make the trip to the food bank themselves. These boxes are stacked on palates, and are picked up on Thursdays by certified caregivers, a group from Ewing called Heartland and Mark Bowen (who delivers food to about forty-five homes himself). The Food Bank is open to the public on Friday. Those who are able, and that meet the specific income guidelines that are required to participate may come between the hours of 9-11 a.m. or 1-5 p.m., with the break in between only to allow the volunteers a chance to eat.
Residents come in, fill out a sheet stating their name and financial situation, and if they qualify, they are given a number for a buggy and a slip of paper to show to every volunteer behind the tables to verify family size. Volunteers such as J. Jones are also available if assistance is needed to load the [often] heavy boxes into vehicles, but more volunteers could be used. “We need good strong men to help carry the groceries out the door. It’s a heavy job,” remarked Porter. Food is not the only thing offered at the food bank: formula, diapers, toilet paper, and even
bleach can, at times, be found. Another volunteer, her two daughters, and a grandson also come in to set up a table specifically for clothing needs. Although every volunteer praised the leadership of Nina Porter, she explained, “I couldn’t do this without the help of my volunteers. They’re super.” The Canton Food Bank is located on White St. adjacent to the First Baptist Church on the corner of White and 6th St. For more information or to volunteer, contact the First Baptist Church or Nina Porter at 573-2883030.

I feel very fortunate to have been raised in Knox County and having the opportunity to raise my family here as well. I want to ensure your family feels safe in our county. For this reason, I am running for the office of Sheriff. I am a certified law enforcement officer. I received my training at the State Patrol Academy in Jefferson City. Dan Bishop then hired me as his deputy which I served for 5 years. I was then elected County Treasurer. I have served in this capacity for the past 18 years. I know Knox County’s finances and the finances of the Sheriff ’s office. I feel money management is a very important part of the Sheriff ’s responsibilities. My experience will help me make sure the office is run in a fiscally responsible way. I won’t make promises that I know I cannot monetarily support once I am elected. Citizen communication with the Sheriff ’s office will be one of my priorities. I believe citizens should know their sheriff is there to listen and act on their concerns. Having worked in Knox County for 23 years, I have interacted with lots of people and have shown I am open to their concerns. I believe important personal qualities of a good sheriff include integrity, reliability, and good common sense. I encourage you to question anybody that has worked with me about my reputation and work ethic. I pride myself in knowing that I have worked diligently for the citizens of Knox County for 23 years. I care deeply for the county and feel I have always put what is best for the County first. Your support on November 6th would help me insure that Knox County citizens will receive fair and impartial representation in the Sheriff ’s office. Thank you. Paid for by Committee to elect Allen Gudehus, Keith Gudehus Treasurer.

EDITORIAL DVENTURES OF WONDER MOM As I have said on many occasions, there are few things better than being a mother in my eyes. Over this last week, I’ve had the fortune to not only be reminded of this by my daughter, but also to be reminded of it through my husband. My husband was ‘sentenced’ to stay at home all week due to a mechanical failure where he works. He agreed to keep our daughter at home while I spent the week working. Over just one week, I was able to see the relationship between my husband and our daughter grow immensely, and I was also given a taste of just how quickly she’s ‘growing up’. I expected a thousand phone calls on the first day he kept her- “Where is her sippy cup? Why won’t she quit crying?” Instead, he would call me up and have our daughter ‘talk’ to me on the phone. She’s learned how to say ‘Hi mama,’ and repeated this to me several times while I melted in my chair. She gurgled out a few other words before she told me ‘Bye bye’. Yet, as touching as this was, the even more exciting part was when I arrived home one evening, cheerfully greeted by my husband and my daughter and was given a detailed explanation of how my daughter had answered her father. “I asked her if she had pooped. She reached down, felt of her diaper, and told me no,” my husband had explained. He then demonstrated. “Amaya, did you poop?”
BARTLETT Sure enough, she reached down, felt of her diaper, looked up at her daddy and told him no. Given, I’m not onehundred percent sure at just how truthful she always is... I’ve never met a child that hates a diaper change like mine, so she might consider it a bit more beneficial to say no every time we ask. But, telling the truth or not, it’s the cutest thing in the world to me. I spent the rest of the evening asking her if she’d pooped (I probably asked about 50 times). I realize that our sweet angel is drawing nearer and nearer to being two, but having never been a mother before, I’m still shocked by the things that Amaya is able to do or say. Another great memory of the week was our first experience coloring together. She’s a total crayon-hog, and has no sense of personal drawing space, but it was a blast to see her face as the ‘magical’ lines appeared on the paper as she doodled. Boy, I can’t wait to try out finger paint!
FROM OUR READERS
What is Proposition B and how will it impact our school district? Proposition B will appear on the November ballot and is the result of an initiative petition circulated by the American Cancer Society to reduce smoking and improve health care in Missouri. It is important to note that this proposal was not created to generate money for any specific entity. Proposition B will increase the cigarette tax by 73 cents a pack. Missouri has the lowest cigarette tax in the country. If Proposition B passes, the total cigarette tax will be 90 cents per pack. The national average is $1.46. Missouri is 11th highest in smoking prevalence in the country. There are 8,600 Missouri kids (under 18) who become daily smokers each year and almost 20% of Missouri high school students smoke. Countless studies have shown that increasing the cigarette tax will indeed reduce smoking, especially among teens. Proposition B will generate about $283 million each year. Twenty percent of this amount will be used on smoking cessation programs that help adult smokers quit and keep kids from ever starting. Thirty percent will go to higher education with a focus on training future caregivers, and the largest share, fifty percent, will go to Missouri elementary and secondary schools.
C Y
IMAGES OF YESTERYEAR
The proposal includes safeguards, including regular public audits that will ensure the new revenue is spent as voters intend. This smoking cessation proposal will provide the Canton R-V School District between $85,000 and $127,000 each year to help fund our schools. We can use the funds to pay for teacher recruitment, retention, salaries, or professional development; school construction, renovation, or leasing; technology enhancements, textbooks, or instructional materials; school safety; or supplying additional funding for required state and federal programs. Revenues from this fund will hopefully be the highest when it is enacted and then fall from that point as Missourians quit smoking. The auditor’s $283 million revenue projection includes a reduction in tobacco use in the state and is a reliable and stable funding number for longterm planning purposes. This proposal is good for the health of the state, it is good for the children we serve and it benefits Missouri schools.

LEWIS COUNTY HISTORY
BACKWARD GLANCES From the pages of early Lewis County newspapers 25 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 8, 1987 A commercial fisherman from Quincy has been bringing home the big ones. Cecil Austin has netted three Chinese carp fish in the river pool north of Canton’s Lock 20. the largest of his catches was 32 inches and 16 pounds. 45 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 19, 1967 Sgt. Jimmie Maples of canton was killed in action in Vietnam Oct. 14, according to word received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Maples. Jimmie was serving with the Marines near the Demilitarized Zone. He had already served in Vietnam but had volunteered to serve another six months. Two new residence halls on the campus of Culver-Stockton will be dedicated Oct. 20. McDonald Hall is a residence for 72 women and Ziegler Hall, a residence for 72 men. The Augusta school is still standing near the Lewis-Clark county line along Highway 61. It was made of logs. It was probably originally erected southwest of the present site in the hills. It was taken down, log by log, and rebuilt at the present site. First, it was just barn side and then in the early teens it was weather boarded. The move of the school was probably around 1867. 50 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 8, 1962 Some 285 persons here in Missouri will not share the wondrous delights of autumn this year because they lost their summer time gamble with death on Missouri’s highway. This
figure of 285 summer time traffic fatalities is a new and gruesome record in Missouri. It is not a record of which we can be proud and the needless onslaught continues. Specials at Pete’s Boathouse in LaGrange include Baked Chicken, dressing whipped potatoes and gravy and salad for $1.00. Hartman Real Estate lists a 2 bedroom modern apt. located at the corner of North 7th and Nesmith Streets for $65 a month, heat and water furnished. 75 Years Ago The Press-News Journal Oct. 19 1937 Boss Jackson has entered business for himself at the corner of Fifth and Lewis Streets. He will operate a general repair shop. J.C. Miller of Quincy has purchased tow connecting buildings on Main Street in LaGrange and will convert them into a new theatre. The Lewis County Journal Oct. 19, 1927 Judge says interest in poultry in Lewis County is not exceeded in all of the United States. Cleve Stout, poultry judge of Lewis County, says that the best poultry he has seen in here. 95 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 18, 1917 The local Red Cross branch served dinner at the Grange meeting here Saturday and cleared over $8. The ladies only charged 35 cents and served a most bountiful meal. The menu consisted of roast beef, ten kinds of vegetables, coffee and all kinds of pie.
rebuilding immediately and started work on the building Monday. 105 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 18, 1907 The busy little city of Ewing is going to have a new elevator. Mr. Boudreau is in St. Louis now getting the machinery for it. The cornerstone of the new $50,000 Scotland County courthouse was laid last Tuesday, with impressive ceremonies. Geo. B. Wooldridge, the ice man, has begun the erection of another large ice house. It is his intention to move his old house nearer the creek and add wings on each side. This will make the capacity of the house one thousand tons which will be more than double the amount of the old one.
President J. H. Wood of Culver-Stockton College, is inspiring great confidence in the rapid growth of the school. He knew the people of Missouri well before he took up the work of the college and he has quickly gotten hold of the details of his task as president. LaBelle was visited by the most disastrous fire in its history Friday afternoon shortly after 3 o’clock. Starting in the middle of the block in the restaurant building east of the post office, the fire was fanned by a west wind and half of the block was destroyed. The loss estimated at $75,000. Fire was discovered in the frame building in which Frank Bohon conducted a restaurant on the first floor and on the second floor of which the Crystall Theatre was located. The Skydome, an open air theatre on the east of the restaurant was the next to go. The Merchants and Farmers Bank was burned next. An old frame building was next. The largest loss was the Skirvin Bros. Department Store, the largest store in LaBelle. The post office was not damaged to any extent. There has been no talk of rebuilding. Sometime in the middle of the night ( about 2 or 3 o’clock Saturday morning) the D.B. Rightmire sorghum mill caught fire and burned down. It is not known how the fire originated. There was between 400 and 500 gallons of sorghum made and stored in the mill, about 200 belonging to Mr. Rightmire and the rest to other parties and all was a complete loss as was the equipment. Mr. Rightmire began preparations for
125 Years Ago The Lewis County Journal Oct. 25, 1887 Dr. Nixon thinks that the impure water during the long drought of the summer and fall, has had something to do with the present prevailing sickness over this country. Messrs. W.B. McRoberts, N.R. Ray, O.C. Clay and Jas. W. Antram, who not long ago formed a company to buy an artesian well sugar, sent Messrs. McRoberts and Antram to St. Louis during the fair there, where one of the artesian well drills was on exhibition, with instructions to buy if matters could be satisfactorily arranged. After seeing the machine work they bought it and it was shipped up and taken first to Mr. Antram’s where it has been in operation, overseen by Mr. D.C. Brown, son of the patentee.

“Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.” - Harry S. Truman

DAVIS tant in my lifetime. We are experiencing a polarized country that has been divided by an administration that is unwilling to respect and adhere to the values that have been laid before us by our founding fathers, Constitution and GOD. Regardless of how the world changes, God does not change; He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Please consider that we are to be a Nation Under GOD-not partisanship.

May GOD continue to bless you, your family and the USA.

MCCUTCHAN Commissioner and gained experience in dealing with the concerns of individuals. It also taught me to work with the complexity of government regulations. I have been caretaker and administrator for my parents and other relatives. The public administrator must be able to deal with the details of finance, insurance, and government. You must also have the compassion to care for the individuals. I feel I have the understanding and sensitivity to take care of people with the unfortunate circumstances that come their way. The Lewis County Public Administrator must be able to work with all aspects of his client’s life and treat them with dignity. I believe I can fulfill the duties of Public Administrator.

JESSE ROBERTS I am currently the Southern Commissioner of Lewis County. I am a lifetime resident of Lewis County and have been a self-employed farmer for over 40 years. I am also currently on the NECAC Board. During my time in as Commissioner, we have been able to balance the County budget each year, even during tough economic times. We have continued to provide increased services and improvements in the county through careful planning and the use of State and Federal grants. Additionally, we have been able to replace 56 bridges in the county and have made improvements to the Courthouse, the annex building and the Extension office. The roads remain a top priority even with the rising cost of maintenance. Increases in the costs of fuel and materials have made balancing the budget a more complex task.
ROBERTS Experience will be important during the coming years to continue to maintain a balanced budget for Lewis County. My responsibilities as Southern Commissioner are very important to me. I know Lewis County residents depend on me to respond to their concerns and I strive to do so in a timely manner. I am looking forward to continuing to serve Lewis County as Southern Commissioner with your support in the November 6th General Election.

Hello. My name is Terry “Red” Callahan. I am presently the Eastern District Commissioner of Knox Co. One of my accomplishments is the revised CAFO ordinance and with the help of several hundred concerned citizens we extended the distances from a residence to a CAFO or hog house. No one on their own property should have to put up with the terrible stench that these hog houses put out. I have cows and calves myself and they don’t smell like that. They also devaluate property close to them. My opponent wants to draw a two mile circle around a town and let all the CAFOs build outside the circle no matter how many they want to build. Knox County is a small county and I believe fourteen CAFO’s is enough to put up with. Life is short and if you want to go out-

I decided to run for the office of sheriff because I care about Knox County’s citizens. I recently received training in search and seizure, contact/detention/arrest, marijuana eradication, fundamentals of effective marksmanship, prisoner right and privileges, peace officer liability, and civil process. Michelle Peavler, our Juvenile officer, asked me to serve on the newly formed Youth Advisory Board for our county. Increased communication between the Sheriff’s office and the public is one of my top priorities. I want citizens to know I am there to listen to their concerns and will act accordingly. I would like to increase patrols and have a more visible presence in the county. I appreciate the opportunity to serve Knox County. Your vote on November 6th would be appreciated.

Culver-Stockton College to Host Local High School Students in an Interactive Murder/Suicide Mystery Culver-Stockton College is hosting the Merber Mystery Day, Thursday, Oct. 18 for more than 165 students from schools all over the area. In this interactive murder/suicide whodunit, a corporate whistleblower is found dead and the students need to assess the crime scene, interview the witnesses and get the evidence to the pathologist. The entire campus is getting into the act for this event that runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Even Richard Valentine, president of the college, will be playing a character role in this mystery. Students will break into groups of 4-6 and go around campus to gather evidence to arrive at their own conclusion. There are seven scenes that each group will visit to ask questions, take photos and gather evidence. The evidence provided will depend on the questions students ask. After seeing the crime scenes, students will decide if it was a murder or a suicide; if students decide it was a murder, they will name the suspect who committed the crime and if they decide it was a suicide, they need to determine the motive. At the end of the day, the groups will present their theories to a grand jury, which will then proceed to announce a verdict. Schools from all over
the area will be in attendance, including local schools Canton R-V and Knox Co. This exercise promotes a multitude of disciplines, especially the new forensic program at C-SC. Students will use skills taught by the criminal justice, business and communications divisions. Technology is also incorporated throughout, and each group will be provided with an iPad to gather evidence. This exercise is typical of the experiential education students receive at Culver-Stockton. Visitors also get to an inside view of the curriculum offered by Culver-Stockton. The teachers who bring students will also have an opportunity to learn about experiential education. Dr. Dell Ann Janney, associated dean of experiential education and professor of accounting, will offer and educational seminar. The teacher and counselor seminar will focus on the benefits of experiential education. Janney will share resources available through the National Society of Experiential Education, as well as innovative and creative programming that Culver-Stockton offers through its unique 12/3 semester calendar. For more information, contact Heidi Lanier at hlanier@culver.edu or at 573-288-6312.
Warning!!! Before Bill Murphy had his strokes he had taken the best care he could of all his wards for 18 years as Lewis County Public Administrator. Please elect Brett Bozarth as Lewis County Public Administrator, November 6th 2012, so he can continue in this path.
Brett helped us so much and was elected by the Governor, and approved by the committee and passed all the tests they required to take over and we have been so thankful for all his help in the transition. He has done a great job 24/7. Only someone who has “walked in their shoes” would know what all the job requires, something new every day and lots of nights. Everyone we’ve talked to, from Governor on down is satisfied with his job. He cares about the people for which he is responsible. PLEASE help him to continue to take care of them. The court has given him some new ones also. Bill and Patsy Murphy Paid for by Bill and Patsy Murphy, 10553 170th Ave., Williamstown MO 63473 (573) 853-4582

CANTON CLASS OF 1947 REUNION
Record Number of NE Missouri Schools in the Battle of the Belt Competition
Lewis County 4-H council met October 8. Tyler Hinton and Elizibeth Lemmon lead the 4-H pledge and Pledge Of Allegince. Lucky Clover, Monticello, Oyster Prairie, Pleasant Grove, and Ten mile talked about what they did last meeting. Recognition Night will be held Nov. 4 at 6pm. 4-H Christmas bowling party is December 9, 2-4 pm at the Cotton Bowl. There were officer elections. Chayce Wilson was elected vice president, Tyler Hinton was elected as reporter, and Elizabeth Lemmon as secretary. Next 4-H council meeting is December 10, 2012. Pleasant Grove 4-H held a meeting on October 10 at the Centenary Church and discussed Community Service ideas. A Halloween party will be held October 26 at 5:30 at Rick Hinton’s. All Lewis County clubs are invited. Discussed Recognition night. Talked about 4-H week. Happy Birthday was sung to members with October birthdays.
This year’s program runs from October 1 to November 9. In northeast Missouri, a record number 36 out of 41 schools signed up for this year’s competition. The winning schools receive cash prizes to be used to further educate the students on the importance of seat belt use. Cash prizes are awarded at the end of the campaign to the schools with the highest and most improved seat belt use, and the top three winning videos. The Battle of the Belt Challenge consists of two surprise seat belt checks at each high school to measure beat belt usage before and after an educational campaign on the importance of safety belt use. In addition to the program, schools have the opportunity to submit a 30-second video spot aimed at encouraging their peers to buckle up. According to a 2012 survey, only 66 percent of Missouri teens buckle up,
compared with 79 percent of Missourians, and well below the national average of 84 percent. In the past three years 354 teens died in Missouri traffic crashes, 75 percent of whom were not buckled up. Under Missouri’s Graduated License Law, permit drivers and all passengers must wear safety belts. The Battle of the Belt challenge is targeted to save lives through education, competition and fun, and instilling safety habits for a lifetime. Last year, Highland High School placed fourth with a 91.87 percent of students buckling up and Knox Co. High placed eighth with 85.47 percent. More than 140 schools participated in Battle of the Belt in 2011. The program is jointly sponsored by the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, American Family Insurance and the Missouri College of Emergency Physicians.

PAGE 2D- LOCAL NATURE ENTHUSIAST RUSSELL HEINDSELMAN SHARES HIS STORIES OF THE OUTDOORS PAGE 3D SHARE THE HARVEST BENEFITS LOCAL FAMILIES PAGE 4D A LOOK AT DEER RIDGE CONSERVATION AREA AND WAKONDA STATE PARK
This poem was written in 1985 by Russell Heindselman, a promoter of the beauty and wonderment of outdoor life. The poem was once nominated to be the official state poem of Missouri.
Missouri- Just Waitin’ For Me As I travel the highways and byways, I tramp the hills and wade the streams in Missouri, I sometimes stop and look around me and I think, “All of this, just waitin’ for me.� As I hunt and fish in Missouri, I remember all of the ambitious people who have restored, cultivated, and preserved all the wildlife, and it is just waitin’ for me. Each change of season brings something anew in the fall, as in October when the forest leaves change to a blaze of a thousand colors, I say, “All of this, just waitin’ for me.� I should hope when we, the older generation, turn the reins of Missouri over to a younger generation, that they too will work, educate, cultivate and preserve Missouri so their children can also, with pride and deep admiration, say, “All of this, just waitin’ for me.� When I have come to my journey’s end and have climbed the golden stairs and am standing face to face with the Master, may I be heard to proudly say, “Master, in this vast place called heaven, don’t You have just a little place like Missouri, just waitin’ for me?� Submitted Photo

Heindselman promotes nature RITA COX REPORTER rita1@lewispnj. com One of the biggest promoters of wildlife and nature is LaGrange resident Russell Heindselman. He believes in living off of the land, recycling, making the land produce and preserving the land for future generations. He recently hosted a field day at his farm to provide information to visitors about different ways to produce a better garden, make fish food, and grow pecans, along with other tips and ideas about nature and wildlife. Growing up in Monticello, Heindselman is an 84 year old bundle of energy, working from sun up til sundown, pursuing a variety of interests that mainly involve nature. As a young boy, his family grew turkeys at their rural farm. At one time they raised over 6500 turkeys. The turkey business was profitable until producers flooded the market and small producers started losing money. Heindselman remembers his school days in Monticello, Burell Smith was his bus driver. The farm where he grew up was a diversified farm, as were most farms in those days, they produced almost everything they ate. Many rural farmers did the same thing, the farm had to produce for
the family to survive. In 1955 he left the farm to work at Gardner Denver and in 1960 he wanted to supplement that income so he started a fish farm. On his land, he now has several ponds that he built and stocked and began charing a fee for people who wanted to catch fish. Heindselman no longer charges a fee to fish at one of his eight ponds, he hosts several charity events each year, to give people the chance to fish and enjoy nature. Every year in June, Heindselman, along with members of the Mississippi Valley Hunters and Fishermen Association, host veterans of the Illinois Veterans Home. The residents enjoy a day of fishing, eating the fish they catch and relaxing outdoors. This past June was the twentysecond year Heindselman has hosted the event. Heindselman’s ponds have nine different types of fish and he estimates the fish population at over 100,000. Feeding fish can become costly. At his field day on Saturday, he told of a way to feed the catfish for a low cost. He uses raccoon carcases. Heindselman picks up road kill, traps and his neighbors give him coons they have caught. He said last season, he got almost 70 coons just out of his sweet corn patch, and totaled almost 1,000 coons that had been picked up or
given to him. He will take a dead coon and let it decay in a barrel with a wire mesh bottom. As the coon decays, flies swarm and lay eggs that hatch into worms. He lets the worms fall into his pond and has feed for the fish. Using this method, he has reduced the amount of fish feed he needs to purchase. He says regular night crawlers have about ten percent protein, and his coon method worms have about 90 percent protein which is better for the fish. His three children all of whom have had a worm business. His oldest son, Greg, was so successful at worm farming that he was able to purchase a new pickup truck before he could drive. The worm business was labor intensive for the children, requiring about two to three hours a day. The whole family was involved from the kids to the parents who would deliver the bait. Heindselman is also a promoter of the Pecan tree and the fruit it bears. On his small farm, he has 75 pecan trees. He believes in the health benefits of eating pecans. He is instrumental in having the southern pecan tree being prominent in this area, they usually don’t grow as well in northern climates, but he has had much success. Forest Keeling Nursery in Elsberry is a supplier of grafted pecan trees. Besides the health
benefits, the nuts can be sold for profit and the wood is desirable. Russell also believes in replacing a tree if it is destroyed so that future generations can enjoy their resources and beauty. At his farm in LaGrange, Heindselman has grown a variety of flowers, vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, dogs, wood, plants and other farm products. One of the projects that he is most proud of is his bird houses, which he builds donates to organizations and benefits. He has raised over $50,000 for various charities in the last 20 years. Russell attributes his good health to outdoor life and indoor dancing.He dances three days a week and says he has the legs of a twenty year old. Anyone who follows Russell around for a short time will see the truth in his statement. He is constantly working, tending to his small farm and his other interests. He attends the First Baptist Church in LaGrange, is a member of many organizations including the LaGrange Lions Club which partners with him and the Missouri Department of Conservation to hold a fishing rodeo for youth each year at Wakonda State Park. He helped start the Missouri Fish Farmers Association and was on that board for 18 years. He has been a judge at the annual science fair at

Culver-Stockton College for over 30 years and believes that Culver-Stockton is one of the finest colleges in the midwest. His inquisitive mind is always searching for a way to improve or make a project better. He advises anyone when they see a project to ask themselves how it can be improved. He loves to teach people how to be self-sufficient and how to get the most out of the land while at the same time preserve it for future generations. As a hunter, he has harvested many deer with a bow or gun, and one monster of a deer, that was highlighted in a magazine a few years ago. Last year
he caught over 375 pounds of fish on a trout line, that wasn’t baited, and he would be happy to show anyone how that was accomplished. In the winter time, he can be found ice fishing and even ice skating when the ponds freeze over and working on one of his many projects and interests. Heindselman also writes for five magazines and is often seen in the local papers with letters to the editors about the pleasures and benefits of outdoor life. The rewards of his tireless work will be seen by many generations to come.

YOUTH GOOSE HUNT HELD AT WAKONDA STATE PARK
Submitted Photo
Four youth, ages 11-15 took part in the first youth goose hunt held at Wakonda State Park on Oct. 14. The hunters each took their limit of 3 geese each.
Young hunters had the chance to manage the population of the Canada Geese at Wakonda State Park on Oct. 14. The
geese population sometimes grows to eight to ten thousand during the season. Kyle Scott, superintendent, said this
managed hunt was a way to reduce the population and at the same time give the youth hunters the opportunity to take part
in this outdoor activity. The hunters each bagged their limit of three geese each.
Share the Harvest Program It takes strong Democratic leadership and committed Democratic voters to make progress at the local, state and national level.
GET INVOLVED Support your local Democratic candidates November 6 Circuit Judge - Russell E. Steele Northern Commissioner - John A. Campen Southern Commissioner - Jesse Roberts Sheriff - David T. Parrish Assessor - Craig Myers Public Administrator - Brett B. Bozarth Coroner - Larry Arnold “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt Paid for by Lewis County Central Democratic Committee - Larry Arnold, Treasurer
The Share the Harvest program in Missouri provides a way for deer hunters to donate venison to the needy. According to the Missouri Department of Conservation website, the program is administered by the Conservation Federation of Missouri and the Missouri Department of Conservation. During the 2011 deer seasons, hunters donated over 300,000 pounds of venison. Hunters who want to participate can simply take their deer to an approved meat processor and let the processor know how much venison they wish to donate. The processor will package the meat, which will be picked up by the local sponsoring organization and taken to a participating charitable agency for distribution. The cost of processing the deer is the responsibility of the hunter. There are, however, funds available to help with processing cost when a whole deer is donated. The entire processing cost is paid by the Conservation Federation of Missouri and local sponsors during the urban zones portion of the firearms season for whole deer donations. Call the regional Department office for a list of participating processors. During all other portions and seasons, the Conservation Federation of Missouri administers a
statewide program that directly reimburses the processor a predetermined amount for each whole deer donated. That allows the processor to reduce the processing fee to the hunter at the time of donation. In addition, many processors have local money available that allows the deer to be donated free or at greatly reduced cost. Be sure to contact individual processors to determine what funds are available at that particular location. Statewide sponsors of the cost-reduction program include the Conservation Department, Shelter Insurance, Bass Pro Shops, the Conservation Federation of Missouri, Missouri Chapter Whitetails Unlimited, Missouri Chapter Safari Club International, Missouri Chapter National Wild Turkey Federation, Drury Hotels, Enterprise Holdings Inc., Midway USA Inc., Missouri Deer Hunters Assoc., Pyramid Home Health Services and Wells Fargo Bank. To learn more about the program or to find out how an organization can become involved, contact the Conservation Department at 573-522-4115 or the Conservation Federation of Missouri at 573634-2322 or visti the website at mdc. mo.gov

DEER RIDGE CONSERVATION AREA Deer Ridge Conservation Area is a popular attraction in Lewis County and constists of three tracks. The main tract is five and a half miles north of Lewistown on Route H and two miles west on Route Y.
woodland forbs such as culvers root and pale purple coneflowers are being established. Hiking, biking and horseback trails are plentiful.. Horse camp offers places to tie up horses, restrooms and space for parking for trailera. From the Horse campground is quick access to several of the favorite trails. A 48-acre lake, constructed in 1960, provides bass, bluegill, catfish and crappie for anglers. The lake is managed to provide quality fishing. The area also offers opportunities for target shooting at the James B. Jenkins Shooting Range. The unmanned range has a three-station rifle range, regulation trap range, and archery range.
WAKONDA STATE PARK
According to the Missouri Department of Conservation website, The Deer Ridge area consists of mostly forest with old fields, cropland and wetlands, including a boat ramp, picnic areas, pavilions, the James B. Jenkins Shooting range, Deer Ridge Community Lake (48 acres) and two permanent streams (North Fabius River, Middle Fabius River). Mobility impaired hunter access is also available for those with special hunting needs. This area can be reserved by special use permit through the area manager. Much of the area was purchased in the 1950’s through the efforts of James B. Jenkins, a local resident farmer. The area was purchased to increase public fishing and hunting opportunities in the Northeast Region. About 5,000 acres of Deer Ridge Conservation Area is forested with nearly 20 miles of multiple use trails The easy to walk purple trail runs through a woodland that has an abundance of 150 year old post oaks where
Wakonda State Park south of LaGrange is a wonderful way to experince the outdoors and view nature. According to information from the Missouri State Park website, Wakonda State Park was formed when during the ice age, glaciers pushing boulders, gravel and sand from the northern part of the continent moved into what today is northern Missouri. As the ice melted, glacial outwash carved floodplains and deposited enormous
amounts of gravelly rock. South of La Grange, these gravel deposits were very deep and became one of the largest sources of road-surfacing material in the state. Beginning in 1924, private companies contracted by the highway commission began removing the gravel deposits. The overlying sand and clay were removed so the underlying gravel could be mined. By the late 1980s, more than 26 million tons of sand and gravel had been removed. Most of the gravel was used on 23,400 miles of Missouri’s secondary highways. After much of the gravel deposits had been exhausted, the state highway commission deeded 273 acres to the Missouri State Park Board in 1960. The new park was named Wakonda - a word taken from the Osage and Missouri Indian tongues.The gravel excavation left the park with six lakes. Agate, Jasper, Quartz and Wakonda lakes. Anglers can cast their lines for largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. Boat launches are available on Agate and Wakonda lakes. Birdwatchers will enjoy the thousands of waterfowl that flock to the lakes. Lakes were not the only natural features created by the gravel excavations. During the early mining days, sand that was on top of the excavated gravel was piled in mounds. Seeds from nearby natural sand prairies blew onto the mounds creating a sand prairie. Later, channelization of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers destroyed most of these natural habitats, making Wakonda State Park’s sand prairie a rare landscape in Missouri. Sand-loving plants such as sandgrass, sand dropseed and prairie sunflower flourish, along with rare plants including sand primrose, dotted beebalm and winged pigweed. Hiking and bicycling trails provide access to view the sand prairie, lakes and waterfowl. Sand from the quarries also helped to create the state park system’s largest natural sand swimming beach along Wakonda Lake. For overnight guests, a mix of basic, electric and sewer/electric/water campsites are available near Lake Boulder. Sewer/electric/water campsites are available along the shoreline of Wakonda Lake. Picnic areas and a playground also make the park a great place for family gatherings. Many local residents as well as visitors enjoy long walks on the paved road and hikers can explore the terrain with many trails throughout the park.
