BREAKING NEWS UPDATES AT
A Canton landmark had extensive damage from a fire of unknown causes Sunday night. The Canton Motel, vacant for months, was fully engulfed in the downstairs office and two upstairs rooms at the fire, called in at 11:20 p.m. Sunday. Thirty-two firefighters from four stations – Canton, LaGrange, Monticello, and Williamstown battled the fire for hours, and confined the fire to the twostory section of the building. A singlestory unit of former motel rooms was not directly affected. Canton Fire Chief Jeff McReynolds said the room configuration had been changed since it had been a motel and the equivalent of six upstairs former hotel rooms were affected. McReynolds said s rooms at the ends of the building had minimal damage. A Missouri Fire Marshal was on scene early Monday morning. The investigator was called, because the Motel has been closed for several months, was unoccu-
pied, and had no power. McReynolds said the point of origin was apparently in the downstairs office area and quickly spread in a stairwell to living quarters. He said there was no sheetrock in the building, only paneling over studs and stapled-insulation, which caused the fire to quickly spread. Canton’s aerial truck was on-scene, but not used, as the fire didn’t break through the roof. McReynolds said firefighters got a quick knockPhoto by Dan Steinbeck down of the fire.

State Fire Marshal Randy Cole advised Missourians to change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms last weekend as they set their clocks back to Standard Time. Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 6, pushing clocks back one hour. Cole encourages everyone to test their alarms to make sure they are in working order, practice family escape routes and to remind family, friends and neighbors to do so, too. According to the National Fire Protection Association, 40 percent of U.S. residential fire
deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, while 23 percent occur in homes without working smoke alarms. Additionally, the National Safety Council reports that across the U.S., nearly 300 people die each year as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless poison that can be detected by a carbon monoxide alarm. National statistics show: On average, home fires kill 540 children ages 14 and under each year. Eighty percent of the children who die in home fires are killed in homes without working smoke
alarms. From 11 p.m. – 7 a.m. is the peak time period for home fire deaths. Only 23 percent of U.S. families have developed and practiced a home fire escape plan. Cole recommends that Missourians regularly check smoke detectors by pushing the test button, plan two escape routes from their homes and practice those escape routes with the entire family.

Drug use on the rise in Lewis County
3A
LOCAL NEWS PLEASANT GROVE 4-H CLUB
By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Drugs, especially methamphetamines, are a growing problem in Lewis County. More than two dozen people have been arrested for drug-related charges in 2011 in Lewis County. “Meth labs cases have increased substantially this year. It actually started late last year,” said Sheriff David Parrish. “There are a lot of people inolved in ‘shake and bake’ or one-pot methods. That has led to an underground pill market,” Parrish said. “We track cold tablet purchases. There are a lot more people buying boxes of cold tablets and receiving drugs or cash (for the cold tablets).” Asssociate Second Judicial Circuit Judge Fred Westhoff agrees there is an increase in drug cases. “It’s my impression that’s an increase, particularly the more serious possession or distribution of methamphetamines,” Wessthoff said. “We’re also seeing more prescription medicine abuses, where people are selling prescription pills they are unauthorized to sell. That’s somewhat new, but is becoming more prevalent. Marijuana usage is about the same as it has been in the past, but the other two are up,” Westhoff said. While Missouri tracks buyers of pseudoephedrine, people still find ways to skirt the law. “I’d like to next see Missouri try to make pseudoephededrine prescription only. A couple of other states have gone to prescriptions for pseudoephedrine and have seen dramatic decreases in meth labs and cases. In the 1970s, it was prescription only and the DEA warned meth would be a problem if it went over the counter. They were right,” Parrish said. “The results in other states lead me to believe we have to at least try it.” Parrish hears the counter argument that it would hurt the poor and elderly. “I’ve looked at literally thousands of pages of pill logs, and I don’t find a lot of names of the elderly.” “You’re not only dealing with the meth itself, but all the chemicals used in making it.” Parrish said there are slight increases in marijuana use and prescription pill misuse, but nothing like the meth cases. He said his office rarely hears of cocaine and even rarer, heroin users. Parrish said there needs to be better monitoring “for who is getting heavy duty pain or anti-anxiety medicines.” He said some people sell prescription pills up to $5 per pill for things like Oxycotin, Hydrocondone, Valium and Morphine. Even drugs like Ritalin and other ADHD medications are in demand. Parrish said some people receive $50 for a box of cold tablets. “If the milligram is significant, the price per pill is higher,” Parrish said. Westhoff thinks one factor to increased drug use is a sour economy. “People have more idle time on their hands. Most people are pulled up or pulled down by their associates. A lot of the younger (users) are pulled down by poor associates,” Westhoff said.
Westhoff said a down economy gives some an excuse to try and capitalize by selling illegal drugs. “Some people sell to support themselves. Some pills have a significant value on the street, some $10-20 per pill,” Westhoff said. Parrish’s take on the economy is the lack of state funds to keep people in prison. “The state continues to release meth manufacturers and dealers. Sometimes inmates only serve 10 to 20 percent of a term,” Parrish said. “We sentenced people to prison and they are out in less than three months and manufacturing meth again in our community.” “There are not a lot of new faces in meth-making. Many have been in trouble for prior drug or meth cases. We think we’ve done a decent job of stopping meth, and we have other suspects, but haven’t been able to develop a case to make an arrest,” Parrish said. One tool with moderate success in the drug fight is drug court, a four-phase prison alternative where oversight is gradually reduced. “The drug court is going well,” Westhoff said. “We now have 12 people and 11 of them are doing
very well and one has the potential to do well. Major requirements are that they stay drug and alcohol free, attend all counseling, and AA meetings. A major componet of the drug court program is random drug testing. Work is also required for participants” Westhoff said. “We do tracking. Officers have the right to go in their homes on a random basis, by the contract the participants sign, where they basically give up their search and seizure rights.” Lewis County’s drug court began about five years ago and have had about 20 graduates, with another set for next month. “Initiailly I was uncertain about how it would go. After doing this a number of years, I’m very pleased with it. The prison system is overcrowded.” Westhoff said people now probably spend longer in a drug court rehabilitation program than in prison, due to prison overcrowding. One reason drug court is seen as a more viable option is a better chance of being drug free longer. “Most of those who complete drug court do not come back through the system again. If they go to prison, most of them will come back again through the system.”

Statistics back up drug increase factor By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Methamphetamine is a particularly nasty drug with various inherent dangers. A Georgia anti-meth website says this: “Most all of the ingredients (below) come with a warning label telling the consumer not to ingest the product. Meth manufacturers don’t include this warning on their finished product.” Among the meth ingredients are paint thinner, batteries, gasoline products, drain cleaner, cold medicine, and several types of acid, to name a few. Some are flammable, some are explosive, some are corrosive, and most of them have negative effects on a human body. But methamphetamines are just one of the many drug issues law enforcement face. For 10 years, Missouri has had the dubious honor of being tops in the nation in meth labs. According to the
Missouri state Highway Patrol statistics, there have already been 1,112 meth labs in the state from January to June. Four of those were in Lewis County. Other nearby Missouri counties had thee numbers: Clark, nine; Knox, four, Marion, 22, Shelby, one, Scotland, three. In fact the four through June already this year is more than these whole states: Colorado, four; Oregon, Montana, and Kentucky, three each; Nebraska, Minnesota, Nevade, Utah, and New Hampshire, two each; and Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, and New Mexico, one each. Here are more stats for the six northeast Missouri counties for the previous two years: 2010 – Lewis, four; Clark, 18; Knox, two; Marion, 29; Shelby, three; Scotland, one. Total in Missouri: 1,960 2009 – Lewis and Clark, 10 each; Knox, two; Marion, 33; Shelby, 15; and Scotland three.

Gamm Inc. 25th Anniversary Gamm, Incorporated celebrated its 25th anniversary on October 27. Residents from all over Lewis County came to celebrate the organization which helps the residents of the fifteen counties it serves. Of the many that attended, Representatives Paul Quinn, Craig Redmond and Senator Brian Munzlinger were present. “We just wanted to come to show how much we support Gamm. There are a lot of people who don’t know about this local resource, and that’s sad because Gamm has done so much to help those in our community and surrounding communities,” said Rep. Redmond when asked about his attendance. The idea for Gamm, Inc. came from Grover Gamm during the 1980’s when many farmers were losing their holdings and jobs were scarce. Seeing the need of the community, Mr. Gamm worked with the State Board of Education in order to begin offering classes to those in need of job assistance. At first, the programs were small, mostly men, and the only classes offered were farm and truck driving related. The list of classes grew, but it wasn’t until the late 1990’s, as the necessity grew in the household females also began applying for the programs. These programs are a tremendous assistance to the
community. Over the last fifteen years, 96 percent of the members of Gamm, Inc. programs found job placement. One of the reasons Gamm is so successful with this is because they have a multitude of support systems. Gamm offers tuition assistance to 135 eligible residents per year, on-the-job training, basic computer training, resume assistance, basic employment skills training, and referral services. All of this is offered with only 2-3 full-time staff associates, with occasional help from youth staff. By providing aid to one member of the family (such as tuition assistance, on-the-job training, etc.), the household income [on average] is increased by 51 percent. This put the average household income around $30,000 a year. “It’s incredible what education can do for a household. This is why the programs offered here at Gamm are so important for the community. Because they are small, they may not be able to help as many people as bigger organizations, but they are able to give more one-onone time with those in the programs, which leads to a higher success rate, “said Rep. Quinn. For those looking for more information about Gamm or information on how to apply for assistance, please visit gamminc.org or call (660) 213-3221

What is it what it is?
A common addage now is “It is what it is.” It doesn’t seem to matter whether this ‘it’ is a particular day of the week, a comment against us, a situation which is apparently unchangeable or a hopeless comment on meaningful political discussions. Whatever it is, it is. Of course we knew this time would eventually come, because Doris Day used to warn us of it in song: “Que Sera, Sera. Whatever will be, will be.”Sure enough, it now is what it is. There are unconfirmed rumors that some Southern people have the phrase spoken in their homespun way: “It do be what it do be.” Of course, the old literary legend Bill Shakespeare may have set presedence of such talk when he said, perhaps after an all-night drinking binge: “To be or not to be, that is the question.” Modern language afficiandoes would note - correctly Bill wasn’t actually asking a question, but rather making a statement. No one could convince Bill other-
wise, so as it stands now, it is what it is (or was). The Beatle’s sang “Let it be, let it be,” and Ol’ Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, offered his version, of Bard Bill’s words, which hit its own audience of success: “Shoo-be-doobe-doo,” even if it had nothing to do with Shakespeare’s topic. It - whatever it is - has apparently been that way for many eons. Long before Doris Day sang, people said “Let bygones be bygone.” And when this has happened, it now is what it is. Even before that “one good turn deserved another.” For whatever reason, even though we give no further details about it being what it is, and for whatever reason we feel a need to even comment on this situation, we are basically commenting with a phrase that basically means, it’s not worth commenting about. Even the late great TV anchor Walter Conkite got into the discussion, every time he ended a newscast: “And that’s the way it is.”

Country folks can survive
When I was younger, I tried everything I could to mask my Southern ways. I hated my accent, everything about country living, and a large majority of Southern food (or so I thought). I would proudly say that I was from Georgia, but I considered myself a “city girl”. I’d never lived in a city, but I wanted to be recognized as a city-person. I laughed at the people that walked into a grocery store in full camouflage, and I thought going “mudding” was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever heard of. I never wanted to be a “redneck”. It wasn’t until I met my husband and his family that I truly started to take pride in my Southern heritage. My husband’s grandparents treated me like their own grandchild and spent hours with me, teaching me things about cooking, family, and life that I’d never considered before. Now I’m not the type to throw on a cowboy hat and jam to Alan Jackson, but there is a country song
that I was introduced to called “A Country Boy Can Survive.” If I’d heard this song in my teenage years, I would’ve laughed it off, but now that I’ve matured, I hear it and smile. I learned from my husband’s grandparents that a person who has always depended on the convenience and luxury of city living would have no idea what to do during hard times which is what the song entails. Rednecks can fix their broken cars and things around their home, build when something needs built, cook, clean, raise their families and survive. A true redneck can jar vegetables that have grown from their own garden to make them last all year. They save themselves money by doing things on their own and teach their children to love the Lord. Even so, the greatest attribute of a Southern redneck is that a redneck knows how to cut loose and have fun, even if that fun is something as simple as playing in the mud.

But in Lewis County, the number of unemployed increased two percent from 8.9 in August to 10.9 in September. The unemployment rate one year ago was 5.4 percent. 45 Years Ago Press News Journal November 10, 1966 The Rev.

Mission that is in progress across the United States in stirring up more people to think of religion than anything that has happened in all the history of the church. The climax of these great efforts is to be reached in the individual church and community by an Eight-Day Preaching Mission. Next Sunday the Methodist and Christian Churches of Canton will begin this preaching mission. The Baptist Church will be in its second week of a meeting planned many months ago. Bethel AME Church will also hold a preaching mission. The Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune showed a picture of Frederick C. Hibbard, a prominent Chicago sculptor, working on his nine foot statue of Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president. It is to be placed in the rotunda of the state capitol at Frankfort, Ky. Mr. Hibbard was born in Canton and attended CulverStockton in 1899-1990. He later attended the University of Missouri and the Armour Institute. Route 61, under construction between Alexandria and Wayland, was closed to traffic Monday as workmen began several miles of shoulder work which will complete the job.

Work on Route U.S. 61 between Canton and Wayland has been greatly delayed but with favorable weather may yet be graveled before the extreme cold weather sets in. The long detour from Canton through St. Patrick to Wayland has been a great inconvenience, being about double the length of the route.

A new machine has come into the daily life of the United States to bring about changes as sweeping as those brought by the electric light and the telephone. The machine, 15 years ago a novelty, then years ago it was the toy of the moderately wealthy man; today it is as common as the dollar watch. The machine is the motor car. On Jan. 1 of this year there was one motor car for every 25.34 inhabitants of this country. Ten years ago a serviceable motor car was not sold for less than $2,000. Five years ago there was little choice of cars costing less than $1,000. This year there are 14 standard makes of motor cars offered to the public for less than $1,000 all of which can eclipse the performance of the cars of a dozen years. 125 Years Ago November 12, 1886 The Lewis County Journal

HMRG to do Cataract Screenings A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, which lies behind the iris and the pupil. Depending upon its size and location, it can interfere with normal vision. Most cataracts develop in people over age 55, but they occasionally occur in infants and young children. Usually cataracts develop in both eyes, but one may be worse than the other. Cataracts generally form very slowly. Signs and symptoms of a cataract may
include: blurred or hazy vision, reduced intensity of colors, increased sensitivity to glare from lights, particularly when driving at night and increased difficulty seeing at night. During the month of November Hannibal Regional Medical Group Vision Institute will be holding free cataract screenings in Canton every Tuesday. Call 573-2885360 for more information.

VETERAN’S DAY SALUTE Daughter shares her letter to her father, a WWII veteran By Rita Cox
rita1@lewispnj.com
Recently, several WWII veterans have had the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C., to view the memorials dedicated to the men and women who have served their county. One veteran was presented this letter from his daughter before the flight. Although this letter was from a daughter to a father, it is an appropriate tribute to any person who has made sacrifices for the United States of America. Dear Dad, You were just a young man when you left home to fight for our freedom. It must have been very difficult for you to leave your family and friends behind
and head off into an unknown new life in the Service. You were willing to leave everything that was comfortable and safe, and everyone you had known in order to protect your loved ones. Not only did you protect those loved ones you knew at that time, you also helped protect Mom and our entire families. Because of men like those traveling with you today, we have the freedom to live as we choose and to go where we please. I am forever grateful for that freedom and the good life that I have had. It must have been very hard for grandma and grandpa to
watch you leave, not knowing if they would ever see you again. Thanks to the sacrifices of so many veterans, including you and my uncles, I have not had to face watching a loved one go to war. I am very grateful to our veterans that I have never had to know that pain. I am glad and excited that you will get the opportunity to see this beautiful memorial erected to honor our WWII veterans. As you travel to Washington, D.C. Today to view the memorial to honor those who served in World War II, I hope that you will feel the pride that
E4 Allen Searson United States Air Force 1995 - 2004 Pakistan Operation Enduring Freedom
so many of us have for you. You and so many others had the courage, bravery and willingness to sacrifice yourselves for us, our country and our freedom. Today I an thinking of you and all my uncles who served in WWII. I am proud to be a part of this family and to be an American and I am most proud to be your daughter. I hope you know that you will always have a special place in my heart. From your Daughter.
The veteran who was a recipient of this letter said he appreciates his daughter’s thoughts and encourages all WWII veterans to take the opportunity to go on the Honor Flight.

Canton Boys Soccer Team Wins District Championship!
The Canton boys soccer team outplayed, out hustled, and outworked Missouri Military Academy to claim a 2-0 victory and their first ever district title. Austin Hoewing scored both goals and Garrett Serbin had an assist. The Tigers played outstanding defense as well. Aaron Ellison who was in goal for the entire game came up with a huge save by stopping a penalty kick in the first half. Sarah Mueller, head soccer coach said, “That was a huge turning point in the game. I really think that gave our team great confidence that they could win the game. These boys did an amazing job by never giving up and that led to our first district championship in program history.
Now we are going to make history again by hosting the sectional game.”
It’s the first district title in the eight-year history of the Tigers’ program.
Canton (7-9) will host Westphalia Fatima in Wednesday’s sectional at
Culver-Stockton College’s Ayers Field. Game time is set for 3:30 p.m.
The winning team will play in the final state tournament.
