There are two main reasons Vic Schroeder has seen an increase over the holidays at Schroeder Fitness Center in Canton. “There are always an influx of college students and locals home over the holidays. There are a lot of people getting ready for the New Year,” Schroeder said. Enrollment in his fitness center is up 20 percent just from holiday participation, in the combination of staying fit when home for the holidays, and people resolving to lose weight in the new year. As an incentive to keep people keeping any fitnessrelated resolution they may have made, a “biggest loser” contest will be started the second week of January. Of the 23 participants last year, most people stayed with the contest. Prizes include 50 percent of the dues to the top three “losers,” and 50 prcent is given to the American Heart Association. “Most people come in and want to talk about their weight. By the time I’ve talked with them, they go out the door talking about losing inches, and how good they want to look. Schroeder knows it’s not all about the weight lifting

Correction
An article on the Canton Tourism Commission project of a walking trail in the Dec. 29 Press-News Journal had incorrect information. The project manager was incorrectly identified as Joe Clark. Clark is assisting with engineering on the project, but the project manager is Culver-Stockton College Assistant professor of Political Science Chad DeWaard. DeWaard had been contacted, but he and PNJ Editor Dan Steinbeck could not make connections before the story ran. The PNJ regrets the error.

Waste collection and radio meters are key Canton board topics Solid waste collection bid specifications and the decision to purchase radio-read meters were among topics at the Canton alderman meeting Dec. 19. The board set bid specifications for solid waste bids with these stipulations: truck size on city streets would be limited with the city requesting alley service; eliminate the exclusive contract for temporary dumpsters; Culver-Stockton College
would continue to negotiate their own contract; Senior Housing will be bid as a single entity; and there would be twice a year bulk item pick-up. The Public Works Department heard from two of three vendors for radioread meters, and chose Water Products of Harrisonville, Mo. The board agreed to this. Radio read meters will speed up the meter reading process. It was announced the city would be given a 2002 bucket truck from Ameren UE. Public
Works Director George Hausdorf was to get it Dec. 21 in St. Louis. One project use for the bucket truck may be the painting of City Hall.

Local legislators give early peek to upcoming sessions By Dan Steinbeck, Editor dan@lewispnj.com
Missouri legislators are now in session, as of January 4, 2012. Eighteenth District State Senator Brian Munzlinger pre-filed nine bills and two resolutions. Munzlinger said two of his proposed bills – Senate Bills 466 and 499 – and resolution (senate Joint Resolution 28) address veteran’s homes funding. The SB 466 modifies how money from the Gaming Commission funding is allocated, with a portion of funds for gambling boats licensed on or after Jan 1,
1999, to be transferred to the Veterans Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund. Senate Bill 499 would impose an additional administrative fee for gambling boat licenses to fund the Veterans Commission Capital Improvements Fund. “That (lottery provision) would still only provide $4 million of the $15 million needed. That’s why the other two are there,” Munzlinger said. Munzlinger said proposed SB 467 would provide more transparency in government. “Money comes from
Washington (D.C.) that is divvied up to other departments, and no one is keeping track. This bill would make the receiving agency keep track to make sure the funds are used as designated,” He said. His SB 490 is a proposed tort reform, for those who are following laws on certain permits. “Those who receive permits issued by a Missouri department and operating in a proper manner shouldn’t be sued,” Munzlinger said. Proposed SB 469 would allow schools to opt out of prevailing wage requirements, and based costs on the National Labor Relations Board for various areas. For taxpayer money, we ought to get as much for it as we can,” Munzlinger said. His SJR 27 would increase from four to eight the number on the Conservation Commission from eight regions of the Commission. In the past, all of the Commission has been south of I-70, and Munzlinger said the Commission isn’t representing other areas of the state. Other bills pre-filed by Munzlinger are: SB 489 – setting a grandfather clause for firearms safety training certified before 2011, to include collector firearms. SB 491 Modifies the Farmland Trust so the Department of Agriculture can only acquire land through donation; requires the Department to compensate counties for lost tax revenue; and exempts gas stations comply-
ing with the state ethanol mandate from damage to customers vehicles from using ethanol blended fuels. SB 497 –Increases the penalties for trespassing and false impersonation, and makes impersonating a public servant a class C felony. SB 498 – Bans cities from restricting veterans’ organizations from operating resale shops in certain areas. Meanwhile on the House of Representatives side, First District Representative Craig Redmon has yet to file any bills, but is working with 22nd District Representative Randy Asbury on starting an incubation/small business development in a onestop-shop process. Redmon also was among those who met with people from the Missouri Sheriff’s Association, to deal with the troubles encountered by agencies seeking funds from an extra charge on court documents to boost deputy salaries. Twentyone of 93 agencies didn’t get funding, and a planned website will help weed out problems of the nonreceiving agencies. “I’m not worried about getting bills filed as much as getting the government under control. Sometimes, it’s just getting the right agencies together in a room to talk things out,” Redmon said. Redmon has heard of a substantial shortfall in revenue, which he anticipates will be the course of much discussion in the House.

Canton business closes after six months
A business that opened in summer in Canton has moved out. J&M Lost and Found owners Monte Wardlow and Jeanne Sapp moved their inventory between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. They have reportedly relocated their business in Quincy, Ill. The building reverts back to the Canton Community Betterment Group, which has agreed to sell the building. They are working with the United Country Real Estate. The building became property of the Betterment Group, when former owners Dr. William and Lynn Fox gave the building to them. “We are for the betterment of Canton,” said Joe Clark of the CCBG. “Commercial landlord business is not what we are about.” Clark said the building is “in excellent shape,” with major renovation in recent years. Clark said the Lewis County Industrial Development Authority has also been contacted about the building, but the CCBG has yet to hear from them. Clark said J&M Lost and Found moved out because after early steady traffic, business waned in recent months. Clark said the business owners also cited a need for larger space.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
A Photo From Yesteryear
This is life by Dan Steinbeck • dan@lewispnj.com
Bold predictions for the year 2012 In case no one noticed (or even if someone did notice), it is now 2012. This means a new year, unlike any other, with surprises, and some expected things. One anonymous humor columnist/prognosticator has the bold forward outlook for this new year. Says he: • The precipitation totals for Lewis County will be a surprise to someone this year. • There will be a sports event in Lewis County where the results will be unexpected. Likewise, on the national scene one sports figure will step out of nowhere into the limelight, while another big name will be a big disappointment. • In at least one election in Lewis County, one candidate’s vote total will come as a complete surprise to all but just a few people. Nationally, a well-known candidate will do surprisingly well, and another will surprisingly fade from perceived prominence. • Gridlock in Washington D.C will continue for the foreseeable future. With it being an election year, why mess with a good thing now? • Mid 2012, there will be a technological device that will be the target of techy-followers. Its hype will soon wane, perhaps when a new and improved
similiar device comes out months later. • A judicial verdict will be the source of widespread discussion and analysis. • There will be one extra day in 2012, and it will be called Feb. 29. Some may call it a leap year day. • A squirrel or perhaps a ferret will become quite the Internet sensation, despite obvious truth manipulation of such a creature. • An agricultural “breakthrough” will actually be the recycling of a technique or plant-crop option, which faded from common use years ago. • Product recalls will again be issued because of all the billions of people in the world, three people will get hurt by the product. • In the arts, a song and a movie, which may or may not be related, will earn awards, despite many people never having heard of it/them. After initial hoopla, both the song and movie will quickly become a trivia question answer. • Despite dire warnings that the Mayan calendar will run out of dates, the world will not end on Dec. 21, 2012. This will create a sudden urge to create a new calendar and reforecast the end of the world. Grab your scorecard and see how one anonymous prognosticator does.
COMMENT
Southern Style by Brianna Bartlett • brianna@lewispnj.com Last year, just before Christmas, my husband and I were expecting our first child together, and I had only just entered the third trimester. After a long, two week job in Texas, my husband returned home, looking forward to spending Christmas together in our home and visiting with family. Thirty minutes after his arrival, I went into preterm labor. I was rushed into the hospital and hooked to what felt like a million different machines. The pain was incredibly intense, and I was struggling to keep my calm. They were able to find the baby’s heartbeat, so they moved me into my own room- stating that I could deliver at any moment. Over the next 24 hours, I was shot with steroids to help develop my baby’s tiny lungs, drugs to help ease the pain, and drugs to attempt to stop my labor. I was also put on permanent bed rest- in the hospitaland told I would have to remain there until I delivered. My contractions had stopped, but early Christmas-eve morning, they started again. At five Christmas-eve morning,
I was given my epidural, and also a strong dose of magnesium sulfate- an incredibly useful drug in preventing labor. At last, a decision was made to take me off of the medicines to have a controlled labor. At 12:17 Christmas Day, my tiny, beautiful daughter was born. She weighed only two pounds, 11 ounces and was 15 inches long. My husband had already chosen her name months before, so we named her Amaya Elaine Bartlett. Everyone was praying; because she was so small, there was a chance that she would not make it. As we waited to hear from the doctors, little flakes of snow began to fall outside the hospital. According to the news anchor, snow had not fallen on Christmas Day in that region of Georgia in 100 years. I knew that it was God’s way of answering my prayer. This year, we’re incredibly fortunate that we are able to celebrate not only the birth of our Lord, but also the first birthday of our daughter- our little miracle who will forever be the most wonderful Christmas present we could have.

A walk where history began Allen Searson recently had the opportunity to visit the country of Turkey during a Culver-Stockton College expedition trip.

A view from fortress ruins on the edge of Mediterranean Sea.
As a CulverStockton Coll e g e student, I had the wonderful opSEARSON p o r t u nity to take an “expedition” trip to the country of Turkey. Goodbyes were said to my wife and son, the college, and the U.S. on December 3. The time our travel group spent in Turkey was quite the cultural experience. We drank Turkish coffee and tea, ate Mediterranean style food, and visited many ancient sites of Anatolia’s (Turkey’s) past. Ancient cities, such as Istanbul, Ephesus, Troy, Aphrodisias and Antioch enlarged my eyes and my mind to its former civilizations and empires. Our tour guide highlighted the historical facts at each site and I used our free times to capture as much photography of the ruins as possible. Dr. Patrick Hotle, our lead professor, challenged us to think upon what life in the ancient cities would have been like throughout the ages and stages of their existence, while reminding us that much of their true historical identity may remain shrouded in mystery. Some of the more indepth reflections on the past came in the form of

sketches we made, some based upon our surroundings of what a particular city would have looked like, or of artifacts among the ruins that captured our interests. My main interest was in the Roman style architecture utilized within the Olympic stadiums, such as that found in the stadium at Perga. The Turkish expedition explored a dozen different sites and logged a few thousand travel miles. Just as we were getting into the groove of our daily sched-
ules and the nine-hour time difference, it was time to leave Turkey for our American homes. On December 14, we arrived safely on campus and so ended our historical journey and exploration of Turkey. In many ways I found peace and renewal through my experiences there. One day, I would definitely like to return for a visit with my family, but for now, I can bask in the fact that I walked in the places where the roots of our world’s history began.

C-SC supports military members, veterans Culver-Stockton College is a proud supporter of U.S. military personnel and veterans, and honors the service of past and present military members by participating in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program, which helps veterans, active military members and their dependents pursue a college degree. Culver-Stockton awards up to 20 Yellow Ribbon grants each year to veterans approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In conjunction with CulverStockton’s institutional scholarship commitment, many Yellow Ribbon Program veterans will receive scholarships valued at half the total cost of tuition. To qualify for the Yellow Ribbon program, veterans must have served an aggregate period of at least 36 months of active duty or have been honorably discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability after September 10, 2001. The total benefits each student receives are based on the highest amount of tuition and fees charged for full-time undergraduate training at a public college or university in the state in which the student is enrolled. The VA also may provide a housing allowance and a stipend for books and supplies. Full details about eligibility and benefits are available on the VA website. To participate in the Yellow Ribbon program, veterans must apply through the Department of Veteran Affairs. To study at Culver-Stockton, veterans also will need to apply and be accepted to C-SC. For more information on Culver-Stockton College’s participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, call the C-SC Office of Financial Aid at (573) 288-6307.
