BREAKING NEWS UPDATES AT
CANTON POLICE TAKE DELIVERY OF NEW TRUCK
Photo by Dan Steinbeck
The Canton Police Department have taken delivery of a 2011 Ford F150 four-wheel drive truck from Lovegreen Motors in Palmyra. The truck has the new Ford EcoBoost engine. A truck allows the police to respond to service calls in all weather, transport any sized animal or street barricades as needed. Chief Hayes Shelley said the truck purchase would allow a better tradein allowance toward a new vehicle when the time arises. The decals have been redesigned for better visibility. It also includes decals from Culver-Stockton College and Canton Tigers on either side of the truck. The Police Department traded a 2004 sedan for the truck.

Truck stop construction progresses The fast-food partner for the Ayerco Travel Plaza has been identified
By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Construction work is progressing at the Ayerco Travel Plaza truck stop in Canton. Canopy columns and footwork for some of the structure has been set, and fuel tanks were buried last week. Shortridge Construction is doing some of the current building work. Steve Ayers, President of Ayers Oil Company, said the structure would be 7,400 square feet, including 3,400 for a convenience store, 2,400 for a fast food restaurant. The rest of the space is a common area between the two with restrooms. Ayers confirmed a long-rumored option, Steak and Shake, would be the fast food partner for the business. Ayers said the Steak and Shake would have a drive through for auto traffic. It will be different from many other such Steak and Shakes, as it will be a “signature series” Steak and Shake, with at-counter ordering, as opposed to others with sit-down service. Ayers said Steak and Shake hasn’t partnered with many truck stops, and the

signature series is a potential market they would like to better establish. There will be shower facilities, a truck driver’s lounge, and weigh scales as trucker amenities, and there will be initial parking for approximately 40 trucks. The Ayers company owns further land north of the truck stop site, for consideration of
future facility development. Otherwise, Ayers said the Travel Plaza would have similar amenities of other such company facilities. Although weather is a huge factor, Ayers is hoping for a possible opening in late June, 2012.
LABELLE TO SEEK WATER BOND ISSUE By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
The City of LaBelle has agreed to put a $2.5 million bond issue on the February 7, 2012 ballot for water improvement issues. The bond issue will be for totally replacing the city’s outdated water lines and to construct a new water tower.
Mayor Larry Hackemack said he would like to see the city have a new 75,000-gallon water tower, but the Missouri Department of Natural Resources is recommending a 100,000-gallon tower. Hackemack said the city tried to get funding for the water projects from USDA Rural Development, but said their funding “has gone south for areas
hit by the storms.” This left the bond issue as the main funding mechanism. The Clarence Cannon Water District serves LaBelle and other communities, and the bond issue projects would be for the LaBelle water distribution system. A public meeting to explain further details will be January 16 at 7 p.m. at the LaBelle Fire Station.

There will be no cooperative effort for at least two years for Highland to join Canton in soccer and Canton to join Highland in football. The Canton board approved the measure 6-01 on Dec. 12. with board member Joe Jorgenson abstaining. Two days later, and the day before the extended deadline of Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA), the issue fell at the Lewis County C-1 Board, when a motion received no second. “They (C-1 board) think it will be a good thing, but they are not ready to move forward,” said C-1 Superintendent Jackie Ebeling. “Financially, things are still up in the air with state revenue. Enrollment is down, and the board wasn’t ready to start something that may need more money.” “We’re very disappointed. We put in a lot of time and effort in this. I feel we wasted our time – our administrators, our board and our community that took the survey,” said Canton Superintendent Andy Anderson. Student and community
surveys of both districts all showed around 80 percent approval of the co-op effort for the two sports. “In this day and age, it’s almost a miracle to get 80 percent of the people to agree on anything,” Anderson said. Canton Secondary Principal Jesse Uhlmeyer said it will be at least two years before this can be approached again, because the district schedule is set every two years, based on enrollment figures. Uhlmeyer said the MSHSAA rule takes in account school districts can grow or get smaller, so adjustments can be made. Uhlmeyer said Canton was close to forming a sub-group of the Can-Will Booster Club of district parents. That group will not be necessary. “It’s a great idea, a great concept,” Ebeling said of the co-op plan. “I think it was primarily a financial decision, and transportation and logistics.” “The number that mattered to me the most, maybe even more than the cost, was 230. That’s the number of kids in grades six through 12 in our district that said it (the co-op plan) would be a positive thing. I was fighting for the kids,” Uhlmeyer said.

Redistricting plans will change current representation areas By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Population changes in Missouri have led to widespread redistricting for State Senators and Representatives. It even affects the area represented by Lewis County’s legislators. First District State Representative Craig Redmon said the change would take away the northern half of Marion County from him, and in turn give basically all of Adair County, except Kirksville. “They try to get 36,000 to 37,000 population in each district,” he said “I’ll miss Marion County. I enjoyed working with them,” Redmon said, adding they are still in his district for this legislative session. Redmon said the redistricting committee and the lower level judicial officials involved drew 55 incumbents together. “They didn’t discriminate by party,” Redmond said. Redmon doesn’t expect a lawsuit to develop over the new House of Representative district map, but said the Senate map is another story. “I have a lot of friends
Correction
– both Democrats and Republicans – that will be pitted against each other.” As an example, he told of current Representatives Democrat Tom Snively in the current Eighth Dsitrict and Republican Lindell Schumake in the current Sixth District that will vie for the same post due to redistricting. “I hate to see those choices (for their constituents),” Redmon said. Eighteenth District State Senator Brian Munzlinger of Williamstown, agreed the new Senate map is a mess “I wouldn’t say it is a done deal. I hear there will be a court challenge and it will likely go to the Supreme Court,” Munzlinger said. “There is nothing constitutionally wrong with my (new) district, but you’ll have another district with two senators in the same district. That’s double representation, when people in the fringe won’t have representation. You can’t get a more blatant constitutional issue that that,” Munzlinger said. His current district includes seven state representatives and the counties of Ralls, Pike, and

Audrain. His new district would be home to 10 state representatives, and instead of those three counties, would have Sullivan, Mercer, Grundy, Linn, Macon, and Randolph County. “It would be a different travel pattern for me,” Munzlinger said. There would be no change in legislative boundaries until January
1, 2013, after the next election for Representatives. Senators are on four-year terms, and there is the possibility some senators will have to file for one district while serving another. “When you move one thing (in the legislative districts), it dominos everything else,” Munzlinger said.

COMMENT
This is life
by Dan Steinbeck • dan@lewispnj.com
How did you make a name for yourself You know someone has written them, but whom? They are nameless people who probably have made a pretty penny in the technology business. Their claim to fame? They wrote the notes for the tone when a cell phone is turned on, or some other function. Just how did that happen? Did the boss of Techno-Phone Talk come to an employee drumming out a beat with a pencil on his desk and say “Hank, you’re into music. I want you to write me a six-second song, so we can use it when people turn their cell phones on. When you get done with that, write another six-second song for when they turn it off.” Then the boss probably gives four or five more phone-functions, each of which need a separate tune. Or maybe the company advertised: “Wanted, employee for short duration to compose short duration cell phone tone. Please call 555-555-1345. How long does the phone tune composer need? “Rats, I must shorten it. That’s an eight-second song.” Does he/she spend hours trying to find
the write combination of notes for the allotted time, or did he/she just stumble on it. If the composer just stumbled on the tune, was his pay reduced, since after all, it only took six seconds? When the phone is bought, there probably is nothing crediting the artist. He/she remains in anonminity. Imagine the composer at a dinner party. He is surrounded by a bunch of uppity-dressed people. “What do you do for a living?” he is asked. “I write songs” “Any tunes I know?” The people ask. He says “It’s the tune on your cell-phone. I got paid big bucks for it.” “But it’s only six second long,” the other guests proclaim. “That’s the final version. My original composition was 45 seconds long.” Everyone at the party is dumfounded. They have been putting in real work, long hours to make it big, and Yo-yo here writes a six-second song and becomes a millionaire. Where, they wonder, can they find such a job?
COMMENTARY
From The Editordan@lewispnj.com
An opportunity gone is it for now or forever? For decades, there have been rivalries between those who make up the Canton R-V School District and those who make up the Lewis County C-1 school district. The schools had a great opportunity to push better relations, with the talk of sports cooperatives. It would have given Highland an opportunity to play on an established soccer team, and for the guys, they are current district champions, and it would have given Canton an opportunity to play long desired football and boosted the Highland football depth. True there are some costs, in the plan, and yes, someone from the other school might beat out a player of the home school in one of the sports. That happens in sports. The
idea was wildly popular in students and community memebrs from both school districts. Each district has an active booster club that surely could have helped with some of the sports related costs. There may have been some other options for the other costs. Perhaps some were considered. But the plan won’t happen this year. It may never happen. With a weak history of the schools joining other efforts, who knows when there will be such a willing public spirit to address the issue again. Opportunity knocked, and may never visit again.

Cell Phone Use Banned for Commercial Motor Vehicles Beginning January 3, 2012, commercial motor vehicle drivers are banned from using hand-held mobile phones and pushto-talk cell phones while driving. The ban is being implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration after research indicated drivers distracted by hand-held phones pose a safety risk to themselves and other motorists. Specifically the rule prohibits drivers from reaching for, holding, or dialing a mobile phone while driving, and applies to commercial motor vehicle truck and bus
drivers who operate in Missouri as well as interstate drivers. School bus drivers and those driving vehicles designed to carry nine to 15 passengers are included. The ban applies when the vehicle is in operation on the highway, when temporarily stopped on the highway for traffic, or when waiting at a stoplight, stop sign or other traffic control device. Drivers can use a handheld cell phone only if the vehicle is stopped in an area safe for parking a commercial vehicle, or to communicate with law enforcement or other emergency services to report emergencies.

Gov. Nixon staff member visits C-SC
Jason Hall, executive director for Missouri Technology Corporation, recently offered Culver-Stockton College students the opportunity to gain insight into his role as a key member of Missouri Governor Jay Nixon’s staff. During his visit to Culver-Stockton, Hall toured the Mock Trial Court Room and met with Judy Abbott, senior lecturer in criminal justice, as well as students interested in pursuing a legal career. Hall also observed students participating in the Genomics Research program led by Dr. Wei Li, assistant professor of biology. In addition, Hall spoke with students in the “Corporate Experience” course taught by Dr. Dell Ann Janney, chair of the business program and professor of accounting, and Julie Straus, instructor of accounting; as well as students in Lecturer Eric Larson’s “Microeconomics” course.

Less than one week after U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill called for a five-month delay in postal facility closures, the U.S. Postal Service has agreed to put any potential closures on hold until May 15 to allow time to implement cost-saving reforms. “Folks in communities across Missouri rely on the Postal Service for everything from life-saving prescriptions to veterans’ benefits,” McCaskill said. “I’m glad that we have convinced the Postal Service to put the brakes on closing any post offices for six months so that we have time to enact reforms for the long-term health of the postal service and protect communities. I’ll remain devoted to ensuring the Postal Service acts with full transparency and fairness as they make decisions that impact services in Missouri.” McCaskill had joined a request to Senate leaders last week, asking them to approve legislative language preventing the Postal Service from closing any post offices or area mail processing facilities for at least six months, allowing more time for Congress to “enact reforms necessary” to potentially save those facilities.

Tell elected officials to keep public notices in your newspaper, where you’ll see them. State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper. Every year in the Missouri legislature — claiming tax money could be saved — bills are introduced to remove these notices from newspapers and place them on the internet. But, maintaining a website is not free. Nor is access to it. Where is the savings? And what is public accountability worth? Notices printed in a newspaper can’t be hacked, and proof of notice given is obvious for all to see, without having to search on the internet. Public notices on the internet simply do not fulfill their intended functions: To inform the public and provide accountability for public officials. Tell ALL of your elected officials you want public notices to stay in the newspaper, where you’ll see them.
