Two arrested for arson in motel fire By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
An owner and a manger of the defunct Canton Motel have been arrested for the November 6 fire that gutted the structure. Canton Police Chief Hayes Shelley announced in a press release Monday, Dec. 12, that Abel Rosales, 29, Canton, who managed the motel the last few months it was open, and Brian Waschenbach, 39, Kahoka, who owned the motel have each been charged in the Class C felony of second degree arson. Rosales had been arrested Nov. 8, and Waschenbach turned himself in at the Lewis County Sheriff’s office Thursday Dec. 8. Rosales is still in the Lewis County Jail, and Waschenbach posted $20,000 cash
only bond. Waschenbach is alleged to have offered Rosales payment for setting the fire for financial gain. The Canton Police and the Missouri Division of Fire Safety investigated the fire. The fire started about 11:20 p.m. Nov. 6, and was brought under control in about two hours. More than 30 firefighters from Canton, LaGrange, Williamstown, and Monticello Departments battled the fire. The motel is located next to the County Market Express convenience store and gas station. A preliminary hearing for Rosales was Monday in Lewis County Associate Circuit Court in Monticello. A
ROSALES trial setting was scheduled for Dec. 19 for Waschenbach The apparent point of origin in the fire was a downstairs office area, and spread to up-
WASCHENBACH stairs living areas. The motel had been closed for several months before the fire, was unoccupied at the time, and had no electrical power.
LOCAL HOLIDAY EVENTS RING IN SEASON By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
A weekend of events at the LaBelle Depot and the Durham Community Center helped bring the season home. There was a craft/country show Friday through Sunday in the Depot, a silent auction of several items, a lighted Christmas parade, and a worship service. There were supposed to be 16 entries in the parade Saturday night, but two had problems with portable generators. Lay’s Repair took firstplace in the parade; Sue Strub took second place; and Mt. Olive Baptist Church took third place. Sandy Penn, Lewistown, walked a dog in the parade, and both wore a strand of Christmas lights. Santa rode in the parade in a LaBelle Fire Department pumper truck to the Depot where he heard
children’s requests, before giving a bag of candy. Also in Durham, scores of children and parents were present Saturday to do holiday crafts and see Santa Claus at the Durham Community Center. Santa Claus arrived at the Community Center on a 1957 former Lewistown pumper truck now owned by R-4 Fire Chief Doug Vaughn. Some of the children were anxious to see Santa, and others were unsure of meeting him. Santa took requests from children, and the children were allowed to do any or all of seven craft projects: pine cone peanut butter bird feeders, picture frames, candy cane mice, decorating a cookie, decorating gift bags, making paper-plate Photo by Dan Steinbeck wreaths, and painting ornaments. An elf and Mrs. Claus joined Catherine Darnell, 4, Lewistown, tells Santa Santa to help with the children’s her wants as Santa listens at the Durham Santa request line. Community Center.

Four years ago, Congress agreed to a major project to extend seven river locks, but at the time, had not identified funding. Some with river interests are now ramping up pressure on Congress to fund the projects still on hold, as determined in a meeting last week in Quincy. “We got the authority to do the project, but we can’t get Congress or the administration to provide the funding,” said Paul Rohde, Vice-President of the Waterways Council. That project would expand locks from 600-foot to 1,200-foot lengths in auxiliary lock chambers at seven locks on the Mississippi and the Illinois Rivers, including Lock 20 in Canton. Rohde said some of the money with the Corps of Engineers to appease previous environmental concerns, dried up this summer. “Nationally, we have an $8 billion backlog in the Corps, $4 billion of that in the construction and $4 billion in rehabil-

iting projects, and a substantial amount in operation and maintenance,” Rohde said. “The Waterways Council is working on a capital development plan with the Corps and reconstitute the trust fund to pay for half of the construction project. We want to look at how the Corps does project management. There are some amazing cost overruns.” Rohde said one Ohio River project has become “the poster child” where the estimated cost has doubled and will go up more. “We want to see how to avoid this on the Upper Mississippi (River) and elsewhere on the system,” Rohde said. As an example of what happens when maintenance fund is lacking on Corps of Engineers locks, Rohde said a security video on the waterwayscouncil.org shows a lock wall collapsing into a river at Lockport, Illinois.

Lock 20 at Canton is one lock that would benefit from the expansion. ing. Redmon said former U.S. Congressman Jerry Weller and Phil Bradshaw of the Illinois Corn Growers would take the lead in pushing for Congressional funding. He said a construction union has told of the number of jobs the lock expan-

noted U.S. lock and dams progress lags behind the Panama Canal effort. Grain, petroleum products, coal and sand are transported by barge. “A lot of utilities use the river,” Redmon said.

who want to participate simply take their deer to an approved meat processor and let the processor know how much venison they wish to donate. Most of the deer processing fee is paid for through contributions from the Conservation Federation of Missouri and donations from local citizens, businesses, and hunters. In Lewis County the donated deer is processed by Lumley Locker of La Belle and the meat is distributed by way of church food pantries in La Belle and Canton. This year a total of 3,052 pounds of processed venison is making its way to families in the county. Anyone interested in donating to the Lewis County program can contact Shelter Insurance at 573-288-3734 or local Lewis County Conservation Agent Brock McArdle at 573-822-5178.

Sharing the joy of the season By Rita Cox
rita1@lewispnj.com
Donald and Sharon Sherwood of LaGrange say their Christmas starts in November. That is when they open their store, Antiques and More, to children to purchase gifts. Sherwood said they feel the joy of the season when a child realizes that they will be able to buy a Christmas present for someone special in their life. The Sherwood’s began this adventure eleven years ago with the hopes that it would help a child who may not be able to buy a present be able to do so. Sherwood said a young person learns the joy of giving and sees the joy of someone receiving the gift. Most of the merchandise is priced from five to fifty cents. The experience of being able to pick out a present is also fun for the child. Many of the children also come for the experience of shopping in small environment, maybe with a grandparent or older sibling Sherwood said the joy of watching the excitement in a child’s face is rewarding, but equally important and fulfilling are the adults who are so grateful for the opportunity to take their child shopping. For many, this will
be their only Christmas outing. Sherwood said the shop has been very busy, due to both the economy and people knowing about the store. He said he has many customers from the western part of the county as well as people in neighboring counties and Illinois. He keeps a receipt book as he tallies up a purchase and so far this year he has filled up several books. He says the Christmas store will have customers until Christmas eve. Most people often take the time to tell of their particular hardship and what it means to them to be able to have their child buy Christmas gifts that otherwise would not be possible. They also express their gratitude. Sherwood also takes the time to give each child individual attention and comment on their gift selection. The children are proud to say who they are going to give it to and lights up at the thought of making someone happy. Businesses and individuals donate items and money for merchandise to help support the holiday event. The Sherwood’s work year round to find items and gather donations for the Christmas Store. Donations are always welcome. Sherwood said people have new items, that

Technology makes Santa’s job easier - and harder Technology for Santa Claus, as it is for all people is a blessing and a curse. Because Santa and elves have operatives in the federal government (or vice versa), he rarely needs to ask young people “Have you been naughty or nice this year?” He already knows. He knows who you’ve been texting. He’s got cloud records of your emails. He knows whether you’ve gone over the minutes allowed, and yet complained to the vendor this didn’t happen. So be good, for goodness sake, but you didn’t watch out and it’s too late in the year now, so good luck next year. Rudolph is now using ultra-bright LED lighting in his schnozzle, and GPS tracking makes the direction finding a whole lot easier. However, the same technology problems real people face, Santa does as well. One set of elves is no sooner finished making computers for Santa to give, than another set of elves in the next room has come out with an updated version of the same computer PLUS a prototype of upgraded software available six months later. Sometimes, Old Claus turns on his elf-constructed computer to check on
the naughtiness or niceness of boys and girls, and – in a term understood in the North Pole – freezes up. Occasionally when this happens, and Santa reboots it with his size 12 galoshes, the computer screen displays “fatal error.” Santa’s storied red cheeks have been brighter recently, because Santa has received some of those sexting pictures, and though fully embarrassed, also can’t find a way to erase them. When he tries to use a computer search engine to find a particular unintelligible gift from mouth of a toddler whose speech isn’t fully developed, Santa finds 1,076,984,007 options. It’s why he doesn’t deliver gifts the whole yearlong. It takes him that long to rule out the other 1,076,984,006 options. When Santa turns on DTV to hear the weather before his flight, or when he gets home from his world-long night, he gets that annoying electronic stutter. Santa then has a wonderful idea. Give all the problem technology to all the naughty kids, and effective, efficient, affordable, long-lasting technology devices to the nice kids, once that technology is invented.
COMMENT
Southern Style
by Brianna Bartlett • brianna@lewispnj.com Christmas, like Thanksgiving, is a time to be thankful for the things that you have in life. I am most thankful for my wonderful memories with my family and loved ones. One of my fondest memories of the Christmas season is one in which I gave something precious to my mother. Months before, we’d seen a beautiful collector’s edition doll that she fell in love with but walked away from because it was too expensive. I was in the sixth grade at the time, and I remember working as hard as I could, saving every single penny I made to put it towards that doll for my mother. At last, I’d raised the two hundred dollars I needed and purchased the doll. At my age, it was worse to keep the secret of her gift than to pull my hair out. When her tears of happiness began to flow as she opened her gift, I knew that I had been successful at doing the one thing my mother had always done for me: make Christmas magical.
This year, the memory that I would like to hold close to my heart is that of putting up our Christmas tree. Although my husband and I were continuously chasing after our eleven-month-old daughter, we finally were able to finish it. My husband had hung cinnamon scented pinecones from the branches, which enveloped the entire room in a warm, Christmas scent. When the tiny bulbs lit up, so did my daughter’s eyes. I held back tears as she clapped and kicked her little legs with excitement. We spent the rest of the day watching the classic Christmas movies, all curled up on the couch together. I hadn’t felt that sense of warmth and family since my last Christmas with my mom. Maybe it was the smell of cinnamon in the air, just like Mom always had in her home, or maybe it was the joy and love that made my eyes spill with happiness. I’ll never know an exact reason, but I’m so thankful to be having our first Christmas as a family.

Lewis County Adult Drug Graduation The Lewis County Adult Drug Court is an 18-24 month program that was established in 2005. Treatment courts transform addicts into productive citizens, helping to break the cycle of addiction. When a court diverts someone to the drug court program, that individual pays a monthly fee, is subject to random drug testing, must have regular meetings with Probation and Parole, and must have individual and group treatment meetings. Participants are required to complete high school education or GED and/or to seek and sustain full time employment. If the participant is unemployed, community service is in place until the individual receives a job. Missouri’s drug court division graduates have only a ten percent relapse rate, compared to a 42 percent relapse rate within two years for offenders who are sentenced to prison, and a recent Submitted photo study projected that Missouri will save Judge Westhoff congratulates recent graduate David Marquette more than $7,800 per offender by using treatment diversions, such as drug courts, on his accomplishments to stay drug free. Marquette graduated from the program December 6. rather than incarceration.

Thence South along Hwy. 15 and the West ½ of SECT. 30, and 31 to the NW ¼ of T60N, R11W, SECT. 6, and continuing along Hwy. 15 and the West ½ of SECT. 6 and 7 to the intersection of Hwy. 15 and 151.

“Because the People Must Know.” Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

Canton Tiger Reece Carmichael passes the ball to a teammate during a game in October. Carmichael is one of five Canton players named to the All-District Team.
The Canton Tigers had five players making the All District Team. The players selected were Austin Hoewing, Aaron Ellison, David McReynolds, Reece Carmichael, and Levi Gaus. Hoewing was voted best offensive player by having scored 20 goals and recording three assists on the year. Ellison had five shut-outs on the season with an important one coming in the District Championship game against Missouri Military Academy. Canton was the only
team to shut-out Missouri Military Academy this season and that was due to the solid defensive play of McReynolds, Carmichael, and Gaus. All but one of the five comes back next season. Ellison, the starting goal keeper for the last three seasons, is a senior. It was Canton’s eighth season of soccer and the 2011 season was the first they won the district championship, and lost in the quarter-final round to eventual state runner-up Fatima.
